tSTWe have received under the frank of
Stephen A. Douglas, his great speech on Non-
Ittervention and Popular Sovereignty. ,As we
live had some experience of the practical ap
plication of these theories, so far as they relate
Wlhe Territories, and as we have a faint recol
lection of the circumstances which brought forth
from the lips of that aspiring gentleman, the
words "We will subdue you!” we have careful
ly laid away his speech, wherewith to refresh
ourselves during the dog-days, not having time
to devote to a perusal of it at present.
April Fool!— The custom of sending people
ws eilly errands, and then laughing at them for
their pains, prevails in every country in Europe,
and in this country wherever the European
wees have settled. As to the origin of the
custom, “doctors disagree/ 7 and we shall not
undertake to decide which are right. Some
authorities say that it originated with a feast
cf the Hindoos, called hull, while ethers say
that it originated in a -ceremony of the early
Christian Church, commemorative of the time
trhen Christ was sent to and fro, between Cai-
Bphas, Pilate, and others, to find whereof
le \ras accused. But whatever may have been
its origin it is in our opinion a senseless ous
ted, nearly the last which civilization has as
yet failed to overshadow. The unlucky victims
last Friday (although we were not victim
aedy will agree with us in saying that it is
6 v -om time the silly custom was done away with
tatirelv.
About half past eleven o’clock last Friday
an alarm of fire was given, the Court
Huuse bell was rang and some who happened
to be awake, grabbed pails, and ran for the
iccne of disaster. Some ran up the Avenue,
wd some ran to Main Street—all anxious to
bow where the fire was. It appears that some
* a fi a had not the fear of the Burgess and
Council before their eyes, burned some dry
&c. in the rear of one of the store?,
and gave the alarm to see how many would be
tooled. Quite a number who heard the
fckrcn, did not pay much attention to it, as they
fired a “sell;’* but still it is hinted that if
tat mythical personage the “fool-killer" had
en a round at the time, our village would have
--t some of its worthiest citizens.

Waeuen'. —The largest board raft that ever
floated downl the Allegheny fiver, passed this'
place on Thursday morning last. It contained
000,752 fejet of boards, of which 390,000 were
clear stuff. This single raft could not have
been worth less than $12,000. The lumber was
manufactured by Mr. Joseph Hall at his cele
brated mills in Mead township, on the Ticmesta
creek. The boards were rafted under the su
perintendence of Capt. JnmesiMartin, of Pine
Grove, and he pilots the big raft himself.—Led

Lycoming. —The Muncy Luminary says that
an Irishman named Michael Lyons was drowned
in the dam in that town, on Friday night last.
He walked off the embankment and being drunk
at the time, was unable to get out. Another
victim of Ecu. Fifty-three of the most promi
nent citizens of Jersey Shore have signed the
call for the anti Buchanan Democratic Conven
tion, to be heli at Harrisburg on the 12th of
April. Among them we notice James Gamble,
formerly Representative to Congress from that
District. The Lycoming I Gazette (Dem.)
pitches into the late State Convention:
“The voice of the Democracy of Pennsylvan
ia was stifled from the very outset, and the
principles and welfare of the party openly
scouted throughout. A total lack of everything
assimilating to fairness characterized the ac
tions of the presiding officer from the first to
the last, so that honest sentiments could find
no chance for expression. Even common de
cency was not observed, in the very madness
which ruled the hour. Never before was the
Democratic party so grossly outraged by an as
semblage. Some of the very beat and purest
of its leaders—men who have spent their whole
lives in promoting its welfare, were maligned,
traduced, belied—insulted in every way.” >
Clearfield. —Au exchange says that a ber
man named Crab, while out hunting came
across a hear trap, and never having seen one
before, he entered for the purpose of examining
it, but unfortunately touched the trigger, and
was shut up. In this predicament he remained
two days,, nearly dead frbm hunger and cold,
when the man who set the trap came to exam
ine it, and found that instead of a bear, ho bad
caught a Dutchman.
Bradford.-Oq Wednesday, the 23d, the body
of Mrs. Beam, wife of Adam Beam/was found
in Towauda creek, about seventy rods below
her dwelling in Monroe township, a short dis
tance south of Monroe borough. Marks of vi
olence appearing on her person, a Coroner’s in
quest was summoned, and n post mortem exam
ination made by Dra. Mason and Newton. The
result showed that she had received several
wounds upon the head, not sufficient, however,
to produce death, and had probably been thrown
into the water when insensible from the effect
of the blows upon the head. The Coroner’s In
quest returned a verdict that the deceased came
lu her death by violence at the hands of some
person unknown.
Suspicion does not point strongly enough to
any person to warrant an arrest. Mrs. Beam
was at home, alone, a short time before her
body was found in the water, her husband be
ing at work, rafting, at the of the creek.
A son, who had that day been released from
jail, in the meantime, went to the house, but
says his mother was not at home, aud he left
for another dwelling at some distance.-ffrpor/-

AYER’S SARSAPARILLA.
A compound remedy, in which we have labored to produce
the most effectual alterative that cau be made. It is a con
centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford
nti affective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed
to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by
those uho suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens.—
Ifow completely this compound will do it has been proven
by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the
following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Erup
tive. Diseases, Ulcers, pimples, Blotches. Tumors, Salt Uheum
Scald Henri, Syphilis oml Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial
Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility,
Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's
Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaihts arising from
impurity of the blood.
This compound will bo found a great promoter of health,
when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which
fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timaly
expulsion of them many rankling disorders arc nipped in the
bud. Multitudes can. by the aid of this remedy, spare them
selves from the endurance of foul eruptions uud ulcerous
sores, through which the system will stive to rid itself of
corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural
channels of the body by an alterative medicine. C'eanso
out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities burst
ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or son**; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed am! sluggish in the veins;
cleanse it whenever it is foul, ami your feelings will tell you
when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people en
joy better health, and bvo longer, lor cleansing the blood.—
Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabu
lum of life disordered, there cau bo no lasting health. Conn
er or later something must go wrong, and the great machi
nery of life is disordered or overthrown. , _ _
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation, of ac
complishing these ends. But tin* world has beenegregiously
deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone
has not all the virtue that Is claimed for it, but more be
cause many preparations, pretending to be concentrated ex
tracts of it, contain but little of tho virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years tho public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla
for one dollar. Must of these have been frauds upon the
sick, for they not only contain little if any Sarsaparilla, but
often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter aud
painful disappointment hits followed the use of the various
extracts of sarsaparilla which fl>>od the market, until tho
name itself Is justly despised, and has become synonymous
with imposition aud cheat. Still we call this compound Sar
saparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue
the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And
we think wo have ground for believing it bus virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run of Che diseases it is in
tended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judiciously ta
,kea according to directions on the bottle.

These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased
from the store, requiring no re-winding of thread;
they Hem, Fell, Gather, and Stitch in asuperior man
ner, finishing each seam by their own operation, with

than a seamstress can, even if she works for one cent
an hour, and are, unquestionably, the best Machines
in the market for family sewing, on account of their
simplicity; durability, ease of management, and adap

OXYGENATED BITTERS.
For the cure of Bv*,pei»6Ja ok I.ndiglmio.v. Liver Complaint,
Asthma, Custivenesa. Loss of Appetite, Fe\er ami Ague,
Heart Burn, Water Brash, Acidity, fcea Sickness, Scurvy,
Nausea.' Headache, Knnui, and General Uehiiity, or any dis
ease having its origin in imperfect digestion.
These Bitters, a* all classes of our fellow citizens, includ
ing Members of Congres*. Lawyers, Physicians, Clergymen,
Planters. Farmers and others testify, 1 are the only safe, cer
tain and sovereign specific for Hie immediate relief and per
manent cure of the many cruel complaints which In some
phase or other of Dyspepsia afflict our race.
These Bitters were discovered by Dr. George B. Green,
and in their formula differ entirely from that of any other
preparation of medicine. Containing no alcohol—no miner
al—no poison—no noxious drug.—in their nature tonic, not
stimulating.—retaining their virtues in any clime; they are
a'’combination and a torm indeed"' of Medicine which knows
no rival in exterminating disease and restoring the sj stem
to its pristine vigor nnd health. No matter of how* long
standing, or however induced or chronic m its character the
disease may bo—no matter that it has baffled the skill of the
physician, and resisted the efforts of Medicine, a single tria
of these Bitters will satisfy the sufferer that his disease sil
amenable to the proper remedy.
In testimony of the many cures effected by this Be: riedy
reference is had to the written certificates from distiugu she'd
individuals known all over the land.
From among the many letters we aro constantly rece: ring
wc take the following:— ]
‘•Gentlemen: —1 have used tho Oxygenated Bitters in roy
practice with decided success* in Debility ami General Pros
tration, and confidently recommend it in cases of General
Debility or Derangement of the Digestive Onmns.

HOW TO idIKE BUTTER.
USE tho New Machine invented by E. A. Sinead,
to operate your common Dash Churns, it can be
applied to any size. You can regulate the stroke to
any required length from two to fourteen inches, by
the adjustable wrist pin in the fly wheel by which mo
tion is imparted to the dash. A child can operate it
with ease. See that lAc Inventor's name is on the mo
chine before you purchase. Prick, Five Dollars,
This machine is the result of three years experi
ments, and has been pronounced by scientific men
to bo perfect. I obtained a glass churn last year in
which I could witness the agnation produced by tho
different length stroke, this showed the advantage of
having tho adjustable wrist pin, as the stroke must bqj
in proportion to the amount of cream or milk to bdl
churned. Letters Patent of tho United States are]
now pending, and all persons are cautioned not to in-?
fringe. It can only bo had of Smead «fc Tabor, at
Tioga.
Persons wanting tho above machines for the
coming season will please order soon, which will ena
ble us to supply at call.
