Gilbert Esq., has in his possession, at Great Bend, this county, the greatest curiosity on record ; it was found frt the wood* rrear that place. It is a pair of dear's horns, drmly im ivedded at the centre, in the body of a dogwood a ipling. The wood is abodt SJ inches in diam eter where the horns are connected, and it is also somewhat enlarged at the point of inter section. The horns were about twenty feet from the ground: —Montrose Democrat. Very evidently the horns have been hung upon the sapling when the deer was killed, and aslhe dogwood is of very slow growth, and the tree was dead when discovered, many years have elapsed since the “red man of the forest” thus disposed of the trophy of. his prowess, in after years to become an -object of interest to the “pale-face,” ane a memento that the abor igines have all passed away.— Reporter. Scddk.v Death. — George Avery, of Rome in attendance upon Court as a traverse juror, died on Thursday last, very suddenly. He bad oaten hU breakfast ns usual, when he w’as taken suddenly ill, and notwithstanding the best med ical attendance and every attention by the fam ily in which he was boarding, expired about 12 o’clock, M., having been senseless during the whole time.

The horse was a vicious one, ami young Hay having occasion to go before him in the stable, was teued, and before assistance could reach him was almsst totally devoured! His remains were interred a short distance from town. —SuU Ham Democrat. [The deceived was very nearly related to Mr. {'hirer, and an intimate friend and associate of K*q.

A reward of $4OO was offered for him by his father, which it is presumed he will never be called upon to pay, as his son, is doubtless, ero this, safe in her nnjestv’s dominions. The fugitive .was des cribed as being nearly six feet in height, of light complexion, and remarkably intelligent; which is not at all strange, as his father is a man of considerable ability. Tar. Lumber Business.—Some idea of the magnitude of the lumber business on'the “West Branch may bo formed when we state that the amount of lumber which passed over the "West Branch Canal, during the year 18-39, was one hundred and thirteen million (i13,- 000,000) feet. This was all manufactured on the West Branch, and passed over the canal.'— To this should bo added a largo amount run down the river in rafts, beside a considerable amount shipped from Williamsport by Railroad. The amouiit of coni that passed over the same Canal, during the panm time, wai» 100,300 tons. This comprises, however, all the coal that passed over tlu* Canal, a largo amount of which came off the North Branch.— Tb dcitc.

Housler, who \s veil known here, met with a eudden death in that plaee one day last week, lie had just relumed, it seems from Philadel phia to Lock Haven, in company with two other men. The three wont out at a late hour of night. When they returned to their hotel, lloufiler’s “ft\cnda” allege that he accidentally fell down the basement steps, and was so seri ously injured about the head that ho died the next day. One of the men left the nest morn ing ; the other remained till after the death of his “friend.” Housler, it had.with him two or three hundred dollars that day, but the morning after the accident only a few dollars were found on his person. This circumstance, taken in connection with some others, has giv en rise to the suspicion that ho was foully dealt with.— Raftsman's Journal. The above are very near tho facts as we were told previous to Mr. Ilouslo.r’e death. We af terwards understood that ell the money that was known to be in his possession was found on his person tho morning after the accident, which amounted to $l6. Of the truth of this we cannot vouch, and tho Coroner’s Inquest have never informed the public how hie came to his death. That ho received a blow from a slung-shot, breaking in. his skull, from some one we firmly believe, as there was nothing where he fell that would produce such a wound as he received.— Watchman. An aristocratic young lady visited a fashiun icnable store, in Wheeling, and after examining the contents of the establishment to her entire eatisfaotion, invested one entire dime in cotton thread, and requested it to be sent to her house, about a mile distant, which was acceded to thus: It was sent in an express wagon, which was duly backed up to the door, the tail board lowered, and all the motions incident to express business gone through with, including the col lection of fifteen cents, the usual express charge, Of course the young lady was utterly aston ished and highly indignant.

The inquiring and philosophic reader will naturally enough be curious to know whnt the caption of this article means, if it means any thing. Shrewd, sagacious and wire-working biblers will see in its suggestive terms; large pockets-full of fees and a variety of drinks. And well they may. Senator London of Bradford County, a gen tleman of talent and character, was placed as j Chairman of the Committee on Vice and Im- •. morality in our State Senate, doubtless on ac count of his former position as a Christian clergyman. From this Committee he has re ported a bill entitled /'an act to prevent the adulteration of vinous, fermented or spirituous liquors.” In its provisions it prohibits under a penalty of not more than §5OO, and not less than $lOO, and imprisonment from thirty to ninety days, not only the adulteration but also the importation and sale, or the attempted sale, of adulterated liquors. Wo would not object to the law if these provisions could be made ( practicable as experience in other States has shown. The proposed act as a means to carry out the above, provides that in the city of Phil adelphia two chemists competent to analyze the liquors shall bo appointed, and one in every other county in the State, whose duty it will bo to detect and punish all offences of this kind.by proper process in oar Quarter Session Courts. We honor Mr. Landon for the impulses which gave birth to this bill, but we think a little re flection will convince him that it can never bo made to work. In nine-tenths of our coun ties no man is qualified to make a chemical analysis of liquors upon which to find a bill of indictment. Such a law was once passed in Indiana and the result was the oldest goezlorj in the town or county was chosen .“chemist,” { or public liquor taster. If a man gets so be-1 sotted that he will call for, imbibe and pay fur j a drink of tangle-foot whiskey, he will never be likely to call upon a chemist to inquire whether the “smeller” contained strychnine or any other deadly poison. Nor do those who sell the cursed stuff care one iota what the quality is, so they can only buy it cheap, sell it at the usual rates and get their pay for it. Another act of a similar character, but far more practicable in its provisions has already been introduced by Senator Miller, which makes the selling of adulterated liquors a civil offence ; and renders collection of a debt for spuri ous liquors impossible. We hope to see this act passed, as wo believe if the law affects a ’ a liquor dealer’s pocket, it touches him in a far more tender spot than his conscience. A few 1 cases under such a law would soon effect the desired cud, and bad whiskey and drunkenness would soon become scarce. Useless Legislation. We have long been of tho opinion that there ought to be general laws in our State which might supercede the necessity of private leg islation entirely. Of late years some reform has been made in this direction, as for example, the law which gives tho Courts the power of •granting divorces; and power has also been given to the Courts to create corporate bodies. But the reform is not complete. There are at least one hundred bills introduced into the Leg islature every session which ought never to be there. .Thus we find in the proceedings of February 10th the following item : The Committee on Corporations report as commit ted the bill to incorporate tho Fogleaville Academy in Lehigh County. Now why should the good people of Foglcs villo be commpelled to go to the Legislature to get an act of incorporation for their school.— Of course they had to employ an agent, and the agent had to go to Harrisburg, and become a member of the “third house” as the lobby is called, and had to button-hole tho Honorable Mr. Smith and the Honorablo Mr. Jones for their influence to get the bill hurried througl . Not oniy this, but the agent in such a scheme is compelled to watch the bill through all its devious ways from the House to the Committee Room and thenoe back to the House f till finally after great tribulation and anxiety ou the part of himself and a few others who are interested in the matter, the Governor’s signature is ob tained aud tho Bill becomes a law of the State. Is this all ? No; not all. The sequel may im terest you, our tax paying reader. AH this is legislative rigmarole which any Court could have dona up in thirty, minutes under general laws such as exist in Ohio or Michigan, Every day of the Pennsylvania Legislature costs the State at least One Thousand Dollars; and the Foglcgvillo Academy Bill, if it received the at tention which any bill deserves must have cost tho State at least Five Hundred Dollars fur pay to the members. We know nothing and care THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. nothing about the Pogiesvillc Academy. No doubt it is a good ono or ought to be, but we mention it merely of an instance of the class of legislation which occunies the Legislature and coats the State so much money. 1 Our Harrisburg correspondent under date of February 2d, mentions the fact that Mr. Burly of Blair had introduced a resolution that the/ Legislature adjourn on the first of March. Mr. Burly is a sensible young man, and has our sympathy in his endeavors to do something for his country in the way of,usefulness. We think that if our friends succeed in passing the law introduced .by Mr. Willtstom in regard to Free Banking, nothing more remains to bo done but to pass the Appropriation Bill, and then Mr. Burly’s resolution, apJ go home. Some of our readers may think that we speak with too much earnestness about this matter, and that in due time it will regulate itself.— We say that it is a theme for earnestness, and that wo will never have the reforms hinted at, until the presses of all parties throughout our Stato raise their voices in condemnation of the present ‘'circumlocution office” system. The excellent suggestion made by Oov. Packer in his annual Message in this regard has thus far been allowed to go unheeded, but we shall take occasion to refer to it in a future article. From Washington. Editorial Correspondence of the Agitator. Wasiusgtos, Feb. IClb, JBGO. Tux Committees. The Speaker elect has shown unusual sagac ity in the appointment of the Standing Com mittees of the House. Mr. Sherman, the Chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means, a* well as Mr. Henry Winter Davis, and tho three Republicans which with them compose a ma jority of the Committee, are strongly favorable to Pennsylvania interests, and in favor of their permanent protection. Gilmer, of North Caro lina —the man who owns eighty-six slaves, but who could not receive a single Democratic vote because ho was not sound on tho “nigger ques- '—is chairman of Elections. Mr. Corwin, on account of his former position in the Cabi net of Fillmore and his experience a 9 a states man, as well as his thorough acquaintance with international law, is chairman of Foreign Re lations. Mr. Hickman is chairman of the Ju diciary, for which he is well qualified. In fact, the heads of the committees, with one or two exceptions arc, I think, well chosen, and the Thirty-Sixth Congress will be a working one. On Monday, Mr. Grow gave notice of au Act for Tub Admission or Kansas. tion” 1 had the pleasure yesterday of meeting Hon. Martin F. Conway, the Representative elect un der tjje new State government of Kansas, who has just arrived here and is now waiting for her admission to the Union in order to take his seat in the House. As ho is an old acquaint ance, I learned from him'much of the proposed policy of the administration in regard to this question; and what I learned confirms the ru mors noticed in my letter of last week, that an attempt will be made to prevent the admission of Kansas hy urging that the provisions of the infamous EnglUh-Lccompton Bill were not ful ly complied with by the people. If this scheme falls, then an atcompfc will be made to so extend Jier boundaries that a new Constitutional Con vention will have to be called, a census taken, and a new election of officers will be ordered. But these schemes will fail. The house will insist by far more than a party vote that Kan sas bo admitted noio t and in view of the ap proaching Presidential election, enough of the Democratic Senators of the North will join with the Republicans in carrying the Bill through the Senate in order to ’‘settle the question, 11 to use a Shamocratio phrase, and by this moans get it out of the campaign. But I doubt wheth er Bigler, Bright, Fitch and Rico will rote right once, evqn for a selfish object. Time will show. The Investigating Committee of the Senate, appointed at the instance of Sen ator King of Now York, fop the purpose of in quiring into the charges made against Gen. Bowman, Mr. Buchanan’s pet editor of the Constitution , is unearthing some most extraor dinary facts. It appears that nearly SLOG,OOO of the people's money has been expended in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Ohio, in aiding to elect candidates, and support news* papers favorable to the Administration. .It is reported that quite a large sum went to the Pennsylvanian and Argus in Philadelphia.— The«e pvpors and their echoes can therefore well afford to kick down, smash up, annihilate ami “save” the Union whenever required, as, it seems, they do not depend upon their subscrip tion lists fur their support. But the Union saving dadgo Is nearly played out. The Pacific Railroad. This great project will occupy a large share of the public attention during this session of Congress. Its necessity as a means of linking together in indissoluble bonds two distant por tions of this great country was first enunciated in the Philadelphia platform of 1850; and so popular was it with the people of both the near and far west that even the Shamocraoy at last have boon brought to advocate its construction. No doubt but that a special committee will bo appointed by both House and Senate to consid er the various routes proposed. Already Mr. Judah, a Commissioner from Oregon, 'Washing ton and California is here, and in connection with Mr. McKibben, Mr. Burch, and Mr, Gwin. is urging the central route, by way of Piko’s Peak, Nevada, and some of the upper passes. These men claim that they can show “that there is a continuation of rich settlements and fertile territory along the most part of this route. I doubt not that a majority in the House will fa vor this route, though the Senate will vote for the Southern pass. The Death or Broderick. This sad event was formally announced to Congress on Monday last—in the House by Mr. Burch.vAmh"in the Senate by Mr. Haun, Mr. Broderick’s successor. I did not hear the pro ceedings ieprihe Senate, but learn that Messrs Toombs, Seward and others paid respect to the memory of the deceased in short and eloquent speeches. In the House the scene was affect ing. After the announcement, Mr. Haskin of New Fork, usually florid, now rose pale and dejecteddooking, to pay his last but most elo quent tribute to his friend and schoolmate, whose'body the vampire of slavery had stolen from the earth, but whose last words, breathed by the spirit of Freedom, would live forever.— He dwelt with the eloquence of unaffected friendship upon the simple story of his life; told of his struggles with the world against the accidents of birth and education ; of his aspi rations and ambitions, his triumphs and his la mented fall, as only the tongue of friendship can apeak. After him came Hickman, upon whose shoulders the mantle of Broderick seems to have fallen. He spoke of the qualities of the deceased as a friend, brother, citizen and Senator. It is hard to decide whether he or Burlingame of Massachusetts who followed him was the most eloquent. These three speeches were heard by crowded hall and galleries with the most perfect silence, ns if the largo auditory feared to lose a word. While Hickman , was speaking, Sumner sat at his right with upturned face seemingly entranced with his eloquence.— Mr. Burlingame was followed by Mr. Morris of Illinois; and Messrs. Stout of Oregon, and Sickles of New York also paid the deceased short tributes of respect; and the House in honor of his memory, adjourned. Tiie Assault on Hickman Edmonson of Virginia. one of the chivalrous o » # Representatives here, committed an “assault upon John Hickman, last Friday evening. It seems that Edmonson asked Hickman what he meant by saying in his recent speech in re sponse to a screftade that Virginia had been conquered by seventeen white men, five niggers and a cow. Mr. Hickman made some reply, when Edmonson lifted his cane to strike him ; but tho former clinched with him and at this stage of the game the parties were separated by ' Vico President Breckcnridge, Clingman, Keitt and others who were accidentally on the •ground. The nigger-drivers have one argument left—*the knock-down one—hut sometimes they got the worst of even that one, as they would have done in this case had nobody interfered. From Harrisburg*. Correspondence obthc Agitator. Harrisburg, Pr., Felj. 16, 1860, llcgii Yocng, Esq. : Another weeks legisla tion has “draged on its blow length*' and the Senate and House have adjourned to-visit the Normal School at Millersville, Lancaster county on Friday. The members will find themselves refreshed by a little recreation, and feci less,-fa tigued after holding sessions of two hours for the next five days. The Speaker of the House of Representatives in consequence of serious illness has been una ble to occupy his seat for several days. As a presiding officer he has few equals and all par ties sincerely regret the cause which necessi tates his absence. He seems however to be slowly improving and it is hoped will soon bo able to occupy his accustomed place. The prospects of the several candidates for Governor is the subject of much conversation. Covodo and Curtin have both recently been in town and though it is thought that the latter has undoubtedly the best chance for nomina tion still the former it is- said is gaining much confidence among politicians. Curtin is un doubtedly more brilliant and possceed of more showy talent as a stump speaker, but some doubts are entertained as to his being as safe a man as Covodc, Since proscription of the op position is the rule of the Democratic party it* becomes a question whether the spoils of office should more properly face to our enemies- rather than to our friends. There is a bill pending in the Senate relative to the removal of the sjeat of Government from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. The prospects of its successful passage .arc thought to bo better than heretofore, but there will undoubtedly be much resistance and like its precedent it will be lost. However it may form a subject of some debate which will .prove interesting. It is argued that members can reach Philadelphia with much more ease than they can this place from many parts of the State—that members would be less easily corrupted and legislation less warped,—socially and intellectually too it is considered profitable and a Philadelphia paper thinks there could be no move so popular among the people. Doubtless Philadelphians think the change highly desirable, but we think there are many better reasons why the move ment should not seriously be entertained. The Editorial State Convention met in the Hall of the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon. Its object docs not seem to be clearly defined. There was not as expected, a large number of the fraternity present, and the whole thing was unanimously declared to be an entire failure. Two State Conventions will meet here on Wednesday of next week and a lively time is anticipated. Tho Republican party of Pennsylvania do not seem to be divided in their choice of Cam eron as their candidate for the Presidency. We have "Cameron clubs," "Cameron military companies,” “Cameron literary societies’’ and "Cameron newspapers." All these things scorn to indicate tho popularity of our distinguished Senator. Rev. Mr. Marks of Pittsburgh intends deliv ering n series of lectures on Egypt and the Holy Land, in the Hall of tho House, commencing this evening. In style he is said to resemble Bayard Taylor and to have a most happy fac ulty of describing tho scenes ho has witnessed in the East. These lectures are provided by tho Young Men’s Christian Association of this town and will.be followed by others of equal interest. The Governor’s Levee comes off also this even ing. A great many invitations have been given to members and citizens and it promises to bo the most brilliant affair of the kind witnessed at tho Capital this season. 6. D. B. C. A Virginia lyoeum has revoked an invitation given to Bayard Taylor to lecture before them, on tho ground that he has been connected with the New York Tribune, and that he defended the religions character of Humbolt. Mr. Tay lor, in tha coarse of a pungent reply, says; “Nowhere, in any of the lands or races most bitterly hostile to Republicanism oud Christi anity, have I ever been subjected to a narrower or mure insulting censorship.” Character of tho so-called democracy. Senator Wilson closed his speech in the Sen ate with this impressive paragraph: “Mr. President, the American Democracy ] led by slave, perpetualists and propagandists, secessionists and disunionists, now in the light of this age, stands before tho nation the enemy of human progress, aud in favor of the conser vation rind propagation of pld abuse*. No lon ger does tho Democracy utter the accents of popular)rights. No longerldoes the Democracy sympathize with man at home or abroad strug gling for the recovery of lost rights or the en largement of existing privileges. Does the Leg islature of Kansas pass an act for the abolition of slavery there? Democracy resists it, and arrests it by executive action. Does the Legis lature of Nebraska, left perfectly free to form their own domestic institutions in their own way, pass a bill to wipe from that vast territory the pollution of slavery ? Democracy resists it, defeats it by the Executive veto, and applauds that veto. Does the Legislature of New Mex ico enact a bloody slave-code? Democracy prompts it, praises it, applauds it. Does a sovereign commonwealth, lighten, by human legislation the burdens of a proscribed race, so that it may rise into the sunlight of a broader and higher manhood ? Democracy is outraged, shocked, and it avenges itself by gibbering taunts, jibes and jeers. Does a slave State en act or propose to enact statutes to still more oppress those already bending under the iron heel of oppression, or to check the action of its own citizens who may be prompted by senti ments of benevolence or a sense of justice to lessen their own bondmen? Democracy ap proves and applauds it. Does Walker, at the head of his lawless band of fillibusters, decree slavery in Central America ? Democracy hails and applauds that decree. Does any indication point to the possible abolition of slavery-in Cuba? Democracy protests, cannot permit it, will pay §20,000,000 for that slaveholding isle, but will not accept the “Gem of the Antilles” if burdened with freedom. Does England strike the fetters from .the limbs of 800,000 West India bondmen. Democracy deplores it, disapproves it, and persists in misrepresenting the effects of the great act of justice and hu manity. Does the Emperor of Russia propose a plan for the emancipation of millions, not of the African race, hut of Ithe white men. Dem ocracy shakes its head, shrugs its shoulders, utters no note of joy, sends no word of encour agement or greeting to the enlightened monarcli who would enlarge tho rights and elevate the condition of men. Docs the Republican party, imbued with the sentiments of the Republican fathers; propose to arrest tho expansion of sla very ovfTr the Territories of the Republic and savo those Territories to free labor, check the re-opening of the slave traffic, aud put the na tional government in harmony with a progres sive Christian civilization, Democracy smitten with the consciousness of its waning power, raises the startling cry of disunion. To its abandonment of tho sentiments, opinions and policy of the Republican fathers, to its betrayal of the rights and interests of free labor and the cause of human rights at home and abroad, is now added disloyalty to the integrity of the Union. Let the intelligent patriotism of tho nation rebuke thismad r exhibition of folly and fanaticism which would shiver tills Union into broken fragments, and; let it proclaim, in the words of Andrew Jackson—“ The Union must and shall bo preserved.?’ Revenge.— The Buffalo Fust relates the fol lowing instance of-hpjtcful revenge as having! occurred iu that city !last Tuesday: A young man residing in town,|who has been a regular visitant at the residence of a young lady citizen, and whoso upon the same was un derstood as a preludej to an eventful proposal, was sitting by her at the family tea table on a late evening, when during the course of a rather jovial conversation, the mother of the lady turned upon him with the smiling ques tion: “When are you; and M going to get married V* The gentleman responded, with an appearance of great astoishment, that ho had never entertained any such intention, and pro ceeded to joke upon tjie idea. The young lady immediately arose without a word, and went into a room adjoining! from whence she shortly returned, with a bottle of vitrol in her hand, and without a syllable or gesture of warning dashed the terrible fluid into the unsuspecting face of him whom she had supposed her lover, disfiguring hia features, instantly destroying the sight; of one eye, and injuring its fellow hopelessly. |, This most barbaious re sult of a lover's disSappointment is, we think, without a modern equivalent. The closing ynarsjof life are often rendered wretched by ailments which are trifling in them selves and easily cured if taken in time. Affec tion of the liver, stomach, and other organs concerned in digestion, are the moat frequent. They naturally make the sufferer nervous irri table and complaining, and relatives and friends are forced to bear tl|c brunt of their ill humor. The use of Hoatetter’a Celebrated Stomach Bit ters will prove an efficient remedy for this evil, it will not only strengthen the whole physical organization, but entirely cure the most obsti nate cases of Indigestion, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and Liver Complaint. The first physicians in the country are loud in the praise of thia-prep aratiou. Another recommendation of the Bit ters is that it is so palatable to the taste that it may be used even as a beverage.

From the Sunday Atlas. Book or Plays, for Homo Amusement. By Silas S. Steele, Dramatist. These popular parlor amusements have been the means of introducing some very pretty little dramas to those who, from a religious notion, eschew a theatre, and legitimate dramatic representations. There are few writers in our country belter calcina ted to write, compile, and adapt plays for Parlor Amusements, than Silas S. Steele. Author himself, of over eighty plays, every one of whLh bears lha impress of a master hand; and containing a moral, which few authors deem requisite for a drama. Perhaps a more perfect work of -the kind is not to b# found at the present lime in the world, and It certainly reflects the highest credit on the author and publisher in the production of the one in question. The insipid trash, and nonsensical charades, and drawing-room dramas, which we seen and beard, must now yield to something more elegant, refined, interesting and amusing. Silas S. Steele's ‘‘Book of Plays fer Homo Amusement,” will term a new era in this de scription of domestic dramatic literature, and creates taste to witness those productions from which be has culled out only a scene or two.
