He represented ; the ’County 0 of TioVja ■h' the Legislature of 1828.' tri-1846 he WAS a member from Chemung in-the 'Coriveolioh' to revise ihe Constitution or : thiSSiaie,'and was the first member’of the Legislature from this county after its adoption in 1847, ' He has held various offices in the town andoOitlU ty, in all’of which he acqailibd h^mBclf , with great ability. He was several times ' Super visor of . the town of Elmira, and held the 1 offices of Justice of the Peace, District Attor ney and Surrogate. His popularity as Cash ier of the Chemung Canal Bank, is univer sally admitted and appreciated. Liberal, generous and kind-hearted, he had troops of friends. : Every public movement or "private charity, found in him a ready and zealous co-adjutdr. No man in the community was more perfectly at the service of his friends when his aid was required. His departure from the scene of his usefulness and public spirit, leaves a void in the community, which will not be readily filled. We have never known a man so universally respected and beloved, nor who had so few enemies. His remains will lie consigned to their last resting place on Monday next, at two o’clock, P. M His memory will be cherished so long as moral worth, energetic benevolence, and kind ness of heart are appreciated. He was born at Tioga Point, Pa., on the lllh of February, 1794, and his age at his departure was sixty- 1 two years, nine months and eleven days.— Gazette of Saturday. Escape of Free State Prisoners. A cilizen of Chicago, who left Lawrence, K. T., on last Thursday, the 24th ull, in forms the Chicago Tribune that thirty-nine of the Free State prisoners confined at Te cnmseh, and awaiting their (rial before the Border Ruffian Court, indicted for the offence of defending their lives and property from the assaults of the Missouri mi sc reams, look French leave of their jailors on Saturday evening, the 21st ull., during a severe storm. They marched to Lawrence, which place they reached on Sunday, without interrup tion. The citisens furnished them wiib a change Of clothing, them other necessaries of which they stood in need. They were in a deplorable condition ; their treatment had been of the most cruel description; They had suffered intensely from cold; their food had been scanty in quantity and bad quality. The pro-Slavery Ruffians set to guard (hem had been brutal in their treat ment. Aficr obtaining help from the kind people of Lawrence, they pursued their journey beyond the jurisdiction of their persecutors. Mr. Sumner’s Health. —We see that some of the papers in the Republican interest pabliah from time to time paragraphs about Senator Sumner’s health, regretting that he cannot resume his seal in Congress. Some Democratic journals, on the other hand, have made light of his illness, had insinuate that he is kept-confined to his room by his parly for political effect. We have heard an account of the assault on Mr. Sumner from an eye witness, whose testimony was not fully brought out on the trial; he says (hat perhaps such a scene neve; before occurred in a civi lized community. And from the nature of (be Injuries he saw inflicted he feels satisfied that Mr, Sumner has received an injury of which he can never recover. Indeed', from what faje says, we are'led to believe that (he hopes fvhioh are entertained of Mr. Sumner’s ever resuming his seat in Iho Senate acp un justified. His nervous systenvdapd brain must lytve received a shock which will for ever disable him from intellectual exertion.— N. Y. Herald. Boy Eaten by a Bear. —Near Rocky Point, in Greenbrier, cbunty, Virginia,- on Thursday week, at the residence of William T.

The rights of man are still the themes of discussion. He showed that the Declaration of Independence was one of the rich fruits of the Revolution, and asked the member from South Carolina, Mr. Keilt, if he was prepared to stand by that instru ment ; but Mr. Giddings got no answer. The Republican party have responded (6 this question.' They have reaffirmed the great truth written by the inspired pen of Jefferson, that “ all men are by their Creator endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty und'pursuit of happiness.’’— These rights came not from Franklin Piercfe bu: from the Omnipotent Mind. He put Ibe question to'the member from South Carolina again, if he would stand by the principles of the Declaration 6f Independence, and gening no answer he said, u I ask-’ any member of (hd'Dempcratic [tarty, North or South, wheth er that party is ready to stand by those prin ciples—l 'pause for an answer. 1 hear no reply.

From tbe Pittsburgh Ourttsjtf Die, 1 Our readers majr not'have been’aware— mdeeawaiffmm^ Pittsburg has been honored for - two weeks past with the'presence of durtfngulabed no. gaaga»seaod of course exceeding wealthy. Notwiibstand. ing (he general ignorance of the community on this point, a few of the fast yoong men of thecity, and some of the staid .English rest, dents became posted and have paidihe dislin. guished guests due honor; we are sorry to see,however, a desire manifested now to deny having paid these, honors, which arises proba. bly from excessive modesty.- > Lord Arthur John Hudson and Sir Charles Miller! Their position did not carry them away, and instead of sporting it at the Mo. nongahela, they contend themselves .with the humble accommodations to be procured at the Fulton House, Diamond. This moderation was charming. They were communicative too, and their admirers were confidentially informed that-ther had £40,000 sterling de posited with S. Jones & Co., bankers. Drink, ing, eating and riding were (he order of the day. Money flowed like water j everybody was urged to participate with them in the good things of this life, and everybody ac cepted the invitation. Sir Charles owned.* sand bank in Missouri, and such sand for glass making ! “Damme, sir,” said Sir Charles, .exhibiting a goblet, ‘ did you ever see suchgjasa; my sand bank, will make the fortune of any man ?” His adpiirers haver, did flee such glass, o( course,' and the glass merchants of the city gave ex tensive orders for this magnificent sand, de. lertnined .to excel the world in the matter of glass. Then Sir Charles dealt in patents, and disposed of a right for, setting saws to a druggist in this city, and got the money for it. Lord Arthur John was nolengagqd in sand or patent rights; his views were more in the agricultural line. He doubtless saw. in tl)e distance a large advance in rpal estate in ibis vicinity, and determined sbrewdjy lo be in a eppdilion to realise micipaled profit. So he vjsitpd the weH-known farm of Mr, Peter Perchment, Wilkins township, and was .posted as to terms ; examined the grounds, the hor se*, the wagons, the implements, .(Sic., die., and concluded, to purchase at 915,000 for the farm and $2OOO for the stock. My Lord would give Mr. Perchment a check for the amount on his bankers, S. Jones & Co., who had £lB,OOO sterling on deposit, when the deed wax made out. In the P. must give up his coal contracts, for the horses pould not be used, and Mr. P. did so at a loss of about $4OOO, His Lordship and Sir Charles frequently visited the farm. A pig would please their fancy, and to4own poker would go ; now a fiu turkey excited bis lordship’s desire, and to town it went; a pair of elegant, blankets followed riuit; and any number of bottles of real old Irish whiskey were also sent to tbe city.- Things went on swimmingly’’ My lord and Sir Charles also' cultivated the acquaintance of Mr. McLaughlin,-shoe maker, Fourth street. Mr. McL. has the honor now of being 'the creditor- for goods and cash Idot to the amount of 945. 'We be lieve the ifknSacrion Ofiginaiea ifi (his'wise.
