and started out of town. j
The motion was seconded. Those appro :

Every right hand in,the room except.those
of two persons (of whom the prisoner was
one) was immediately held up.'
Mr. Siarns —The meeting.bas decided that
he be tarred and feathered.
Mr. Hughes—“ And lighted.”
Another Voice—“ Let’s hang him; it’s too
good for him."
Mr. Siarns—No, no, gentlemen; tar and
feathering is enough .on negro evidence.
Some persons in the room objected to this
reason, and seemed to think that negro evi
dence io such cases was as good as gospel.
Cnpt. Wallace moved that he be given fif
ty stripes, which another person amended by
substituting a hundred for fifty ; but, by the
opposition of Mr. Siarns, these motions were
disagreed to.
A committee of execution was then B[-
poinleAand the meeting adjourned.
Some of the committee went for (nr,others

before the office door. enough was
brought to besmear the entire] population of
Parkvtlle, and feathers sufficient for at least a
dozen coats.
“Non',” said Cap). Wallace to Atkinson,
“now, slrnnger, to save trouble, off with your
shin.”
“Wiih imperlurable coolness, and without
opening his lips, the prisoner doffed his linen
and flannel. As ho wore neither vest nor
coal the ceremony was soon concluded.
“He’s obedient,” said one of the crowd;
"it’s best for him.”
“He’s got off 100 d d easy,” said an
other.
“That’s a fuel,” said a third.
By this lime the prisoner was naked from
the loins upward.
"Come out here,” snidCnpt. Wallace, “we
don’t want to smear the floor with tar.
“Silently and carelessly Atkinson followed
him.
Messrs. Bird and Hughes then cut two pad
dles—slicks about a yard long and broad at
one end—and proceeded slowly, amid the
laughter and jests of the crowd, which At
kinson seemed neither to see nor care for, to
“lay it on at least half an inch deep, from the
crown ofhis head to his waist; over his arms,
hands, cheek, brows, hair, arm-pits, cars,
back, breast and neck. As he was besmear

jocularly observed that he was “touching up

great merriment among the crowd, All this

“Yes,” said one of the operators with a
laugh, as he look hold of the hag of feathers
and threw a handful on the prisoner’s back.
"Pour them on,” suggested a spectator.
“No, it's better lo pul them on in hand-

Messrs. Bird, Hughes, Boydon and Sam

street, which was thronged with people, down

An Ancient Fnoc.—lames Crablrce, pit
sinker to Messrs. Ackroyed, of Burkinsbaw
Bottom, in sinking a pit at Morley near Leeds,
recently found a live frog in the centre of a
large coal, two hundred and thirty feet below
.the surface, considerably below the Morley
tunnel, to which uis close adjoining. The
frog is still very lively. When found it was
very dark in color, but it is becoming like
the common every-day species. The eyes
of it are very bright, and surrounded with a
gold ring, it has four claws on its fore feet
and five (web footed) on the hind feel. Its
mouth ij closed, or firmly shut, but it has
two vents,- apparently nostrils, on the top of
its nose. The seam of coal from which it
was disinterred was saturated with water;
and probably from this circumstance, com
bined with close confinement, it has been en
abled to sustain its half torpid life through
countless ages. —Letdt {England) Mercury,

Perhaps oar readers would like to know on what

writ issued by Judge Kane was “That the (persons
required were not at the lime of tbo issuing 1 of the

Kano at last consented to release him if ho would
so amend his return as that it should read—“that he

Judge Kano bos succumbed to the voice of public

Politics, avaunt! Tliou srt uncomely!—and we
take refuge Irani thy importunities in u more gen
ial theme.
Fist Sir: No apology is nccessaiy for address
ing you in a somewhat abrupt and fa miliar manner.
Your forcfallier seems to have exhausted the parent
stock of Modesty, so it is not one of your tailings.
So many limes a day you peep out from the by
ways and contend masterly for a bad precedence in
Hie highways, that one caunut possibly be 100 fa
miliar with you.
It giads us to see that the rising generation is not
very unwilling lo mako a hasty bundle of alt the
cures and responsibilities of practical life which
have vexed and perplexed the gray.liaircd genera
tion now tottering down Life’s decline, and to swing
it upon shoulders not yet bent with less than six nor
more than sixteen years of a rather uneventful life.
Experience used lo be cried up as “the best teacher,’
but you have demonstrated tlie fallacy of that. You
evince a precocious wisdom in kicking Experience
out of the schoolhouse and installing Assurance in
her stead. This is in harmony with the commonly
received doctrine that, “it is belter lo be born wise,
than to gain wisdom by every-day experienceand
“it is more respectable to inherit, than it Is to ac
quire.” To he willing , is a great tiling when it lias
7b be competent , for a backer. Of course you know
all this without being told.
It may be regarded as an evidence of unusual fil
ial regard—this voluntary assumption of the rights
and duties of muturcr age so early in life. This is
but a supposition, of course. It is likewise pleasing
to note that you occupy (he plane of successful com
petition with y our progenitor in lire use, abuse and
enjoyment of “all and singular," .the things (hat a
past generation did not attain to until the down of
adolescence had given place to the bristly moustache
of manhood. This goes to show that Nature is al
ways true to the great law of Adaptation. The ri
pening influences attendant upon you did not sur
round your progenitor. “In short,” as gossipping
Jock Hobblcday would say, “they were shockingly
unsophisticated!”

For instance: As ynn were swaggering (no full

marked, that be never was allowed to talk like that
when he was a boy. He seemed quite disgusted—
doubtless he was angry to think how sadly his edu.
cation was neglected at yonr age, and so vented his
spleen upon yon. Just as though the world docs not

informed him as respectfully as We could that -Young
America was abundantly able to regulate' bis con
duct without (ho old-fashioned espionage of parents;
that parents were the relics of a barbarous age,' and
comparatively unknown at present; that (here were
no children nowadays; that this waslhc ago of Prci
grcaslon; that it was.(he age of Steam end Light
ning ; that Young America was bom on Snpday,
and sported a Shanhai coat, standing collar and stub-,
toed boots on Monday; attained to the dignity of
a threepenny paper of tobacco and half-a-ddzea ci

dled, get carried home fuddled by a couple of “fel
lers," and rise next day with a bad headache—his
education finished—a man, as he understand* it, “to
all intents and purposes.”
The old man sighed. “Sit down,” said be, “and
I will give you my idea ••
“When I, was a'hoy, they used to do things differ,
ently. Then, a brawling, forward boy was sit down
as an ill-bred, bad boy aod shunned accordingly; for
then as now, a boy Was known by the company he
kept. He was taught that a good reputation was a
pearl above price. Tim boy who dared to treat his
seniors with disrespect Was looked upon a* a bad
companion. I won taught that it was time Ibr’Bbys'
to speak when spoken to, while older persons were
conversing; and never was I permitted to intrude
my opiniou where it was unasked. Spreeing it, get
ting drunk and making night hideous with orgies,
these were not tolerated in respectable dommunities.
Children owed everything to parental counsel and to
home influences then, but now the order stands re

they arc weaned. And 1 can but think that homo

Young America, as you call it, is all moonshine.”
Here the old gentleman ceased speaking and van
ished quite out of sight.
Friend Bcardslce, of lire Woyne County proslave,
ry pro-rum Herald, tales our version of the recent
Democratic victory in Dial County, in high dudgeon.
This is not right. If we magnified the victory be
yond the credulity of the skeptical Ilowkin, let him
reprove us with that Christian candor for which he
is so celebrated, and not fall to calling names tike a
lubberly schoolboy.
Wo lake tliid occasion to assure our indignant
riend that his estimate of the strength of the Re
publican party in Tioga county would be hooted ol
by men of his stripe in this section. Last fall the
campaign was not made upon local issues in any in
stance, while this fall no less than four minor issues
contributed to distract the Republican forces. As
fur Canal Commissioner, had Passmore Williamson
been in the field he would have received not less than
2000 majority. This is notour privato estimate but
that of men from all ports of the county,well ac
quainted with Die stale of the public.mipd. . Alt.
these things considered, the election of our entire
Dekel by an average mojority of 400, this fall, is
pencrally conceded by foes and friends to be a great
er triumph than the average majority of 600 which
elected our county ticket last fait. The aggregate
vote this year fulls some 600 and upward below Dial
of last year; and in every district where Die vole
came up to Die last year's range, the Republican
ticket was found to have gained aver last year.
We assure our Wayne County friend that wo look
with great pleasure upon the result of the campaign
just closed.
Our friend calls the Agitator a Know-Nothing
sheet. He knows better and intended to lie when
ho wrote it. This paper never was, is not,- end nev

member of the American parly” has proposed
to be one of a thousand persons, each of
whom is to contribute a hundred dollars to

already been obtained.
Mr. Allen Eilnnd, of Crawford, in Alabama,
ha* written a letter to General James N.
Belhune in which he proposes lhat southern

town in ihe southern Stales, with a view of
sending forward sldveholders' to Kansas and
to purchase lands in that territory, which are
only to be resold to slaveholders. He pro.

The Border Ruffians Cowed.—From
a gentleman who reached this city on yester
day, direct from Kansas, we leayp that on
the day of the Free Stale election a body of
four hundred armed men from Missouri ap
proached the tovn 'of Lawrence, with the
avowed purpose of destroying the printing
offices of ibe Tribune and the Herald of
Freedom, and o' taking possession of the
place. When ll ey had .arived wiihin a short
distance of the l iwn they were met by a Pro-
Slavery gentlem m from Lawrence, who in
formed the ruffiijms that the Free-Siate men
were prepared for them—that they were
armed with two or three hundred Sharpe’s
rifles and that they were determined id fight
desperately for I heir-homes and their rights.
This news struck the invaders with fear, and
after holding d council of waf, they turned
upon their heels and returned lo the other
side of ihe river without doing any damage.
The ruffians are cowed! Let them but be met
boldly and resolutely, and they will, in nine
cases out of ten, hang opt ihe wlpie feather.

The goodness of God has signally blessed
our Commonwealth. VVOr with its desola-

tions—famine and pestilence with ibeir hor
rors, have not been permitted to come near
us; and’ whilst the ravages Of disease and
death have afflicted the citizens of other
Slates, we have enjoyed the blessings of health
and usual prosperity. The seasons, in their
annual round, have corns and gone—“seed

plenty cheers the husbandman ; and, surroun
ded by the abundant fruits of autumn he rejoi
ces in the rich reward ol his toil. “The pas

for joy—ihey also sing.’
Acknowledge with {rateful hearts these
manifold blessings of a benificient Providence,
wo should “offer unto God thanksgiving, and

Under the solemn conviction of the impor-

for mi'y wiih the wishes of many good citi

worldly pursuits on tha| day, they unite in of
fering thanks to the Almighty God for his

for a continuance of bis blessings.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
of the State at Harrisburg this 22d day of

Commonwealth the eightieth.

FROM T
REPULSE OF TUB
From Russian soun
report and a letter fror
accounts of the repulsi
great loss in attack wl
fortress of Kars on thi
Gen. MurviefT says:
“A.i the beginning tlie attack was success
ful, but the position and numbers of the ene
my forced us towithdiaw. Nutwitbslanding
this and a heavy loss, our troops took four
teen banners and a star d of colors. The block
ade of Kars is reestablished.”
The account via Trebizond gives more
particulars, and slates that the Russians were
determined to raise the seige. It states that at
one time the Russians succeeded in taking
two. batteries, but before they had lime to
turn round the guns, or even to spike them,
the Turks rushed upon them with such vig.
or ns to regain possession of the batteries,
and decide the fortune of the day. The
Russians, furiously repulsed, fell back upon
their comrades, who were thrown into con
fusion. The Turks then rushed out of the
fortress and massacred an enormous num
ber.
This account states that, though a large
nuber of killed and njounded Russians were
removed, 4,000 were left dead under the
wajls. Two hundred were taken prisoners,
and pieces of ordnance captured.
Several Rus-ian officers of high rank were
killed wounded early in the action, which
lasted eight hours.
On the P4th Scpte inter, five days before
this event, 4>poo mei of Omer Pasha’s ar
my, sent to raise the teige of Kars by threat
ening the Russian provinces of Abasia, Min
grelia, Imerilia, Geor'ia, and Tiflis (the cap
ital) landed at Sauceiim Kale, in Abasia.—
Their active,operalio( s, however, it is under
stood will be much re larded by the lateness
of the season.

A large portion of the community has been
recently very much shocked by the attempt
made by a Russian, residing in Milwaukee,
to burn the corpse of his wife, according to
the Eastern custom-, instead of giving it what
is termed Christian burial. The funeral pyre
was prepared, but, before the torch could be
applied, the Sheriff and his posse interfered,
and the consummation of the man’s design
was prevented, he narrowly escaping lynch
ing by the infuriated inhabitants. We doubt
if the law has any right to direct how a dead
body shall be disposed of. It seems to us a
mere matter of taste.. The custom of burn-
ing hna long prevailc d io many countries in
the East, where our aystem of sepulture
would seem as strongs and outlandish to the
natives as theirs does to us. We must con.
fess that there is something rather beautiful
1 than otherwise in the idea of preserving, in an
urn the ashes of a lb red one, and the knowl
edge of such a disprsition of them is more
gratifying than the indulgence in (He cer
