mitted suicide by hanging himself', in an out

time under a depression of the mind. .His age

Housebreakers About
On-Saturday night last, an 'tit:tempt was made,
feloniously to enter the house of our neighbor
George Stine. 'One of the daughters who had
company at the, time, beard a noise at the
Kitchen window, moceeded to the door lead
ing into the yard, and, upon boating this, the
fellow made his escape, leaving his tools on
the spot. The tools lie haillneviously stolen
out of the shop of Mr. Stattler, twin where a
'Waistcoat was stolen from one of the hands.
Town Council
Our Borough authorities have sub-divided
therriselves into block committees, and aro go
ing to work in earnest in their Sanitary mea
sures. The committees are examining the
yards, cellars, &c., of citizens, in order to have
removed all substances of a prunefactions na
ture, which tends to create all insalubrious at
mosphere. The poorer classes are provided
with fresh LIMO and other substances, to effect
the purpose intended. One case of Cholera
was reported f last week in the Borough, in the
..pe:son of Mr. William Newhard, which proved
fatal—also several cases at the Al;einown and
Craneville furnaces; have been. reported, which
proved fatal.
At any time during the yarm season, wheth
er an epidemic prevails or not, nothing tends
to purify the-condition of the.gtreetcyardS,lor
cellars, Moro than chloride of lime. W,e trust,

cleanliness throughout, audit it is riot exactly

Common Schools
To maintain and perpetuate the various in
stitutions and privileges of a free government,
it is generally admitted that common schools
are indispensably necessary. Indeed, they
are justly considered the very nurseries of lib
erty, equality and general intelligence. But
40 render them such it is also •necessary that
they should be properly conducted. If they
are supplied with incompetent teachers, or a
system of rules is adopted by those who have
the directorship of them, which cramp the ge
nius on in any manner cripple the energies of
the teachers, they become a curse, rather than
a blessing to the country. The public money
which is expended to maintain them, is worse
than thrown away; for instead of their being
nurseries of liberty, they become a pnblie nui•
sauce ; tending to retard the progress of science

Marshall College.
Through the pohienesa of our young friend,
Mr. A. J. G. Dubs, a student of this Institute,
and son of the Rev. Mr. Joseph Dubs of this
county, we were favored 'with a copy of the
"Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Mar
shall College, for 1848-40." The number of
Students is 133. We makd the following ex
tract of the pamphlet which speaks of the laud
able object of the Institution.
"This Institution was founded, under a char
ter front the Legislature of Pennsylvania, in
.the year 1835. It sprang originally out of the
High School attached to the Theological Semi
nary of the-German-Reformed Church, which
was removed the year before. from the borough
of Yolk, to the village of Alercersburg. It
stands, of course, in intimate connection with
this Seminary still. The primary object of the
two institutions may be regarded as one and the
same. The Church needs ministers, and she
is concerned to have them properly educated
lor Limit high and responsible work. It is her
zeal for this interest which has given birth to
Marshall College. Ilarvard University, Yale
College, and Nassau Ilall, owe their origin
mainly to similar zeal, on the part of the reli
gious denominations by which they were
retwiled."
Church Matters in Kutztown
IVe learn from the Kul ztowu Grist der Zeit,
that, in pursuance of a notice given by the
Censistory attic Lutheran Church of Kutztown,
a vote of the congregation was taketi last Sun
day, to determine whether the Rev. Daniel
Kohler should continue to officiate as their
minister, or not. Six votes were east in his
favor, and Fifty against hire. It requires to be
explained, however, that Mr. Kohler disputed
the legality of this proceeding, and protested
against it ; at the same time urging his friends
to take no part in it. The Congregation numbers
220 active members; and therefore from the
small proportion who voted upon the question,
we may infer that Mr. Kohler's friends are in
the majority, and that his counsel prevailed
with theta.
Premature Burials
We are assured that the following is true in
every particular. A poor man residing in the
.upper. part of the city of New York, left home
a: few days 8111C0 at the usual hour some days
since to perform his daily labor, and on return
ing in the aftehoon, found that his wife liad
been siezed with the cholera in the forenoon,
and conveyed to the hospital.. Ile immediate
ly went there, and as In:centered the place, six
coffins were carried, out. to be conveyed to
Potter's Field. The poor fellow proceeded to
the room and enquired for his wife, when he
was informed that Ehe was dead, and that one
of the coffins he had passed contained her
body, but which of them they could not tell,
as no marks are placed upon them to distin
guish ono from another. The man in an ago
ny of grief, started in pursuit of the conveyance,
and accompanied it to Potter's Field, when
he pleaded so hard to be permitted to look
once more upon the face of his wife, that
permission was given and Vie coffins were
opened. When the body of the woman was
exposed, he seized it frantically in his arms
and pressed it fondly to his bosom. For a
moment lie fancied he felt the beating of her
heart, and seizing her wrist, he exclaimed,
“Nly God, she lives!" At that moment the
woman opened her eyes and recognized her
husband ; she was conveyed home, and is now
quite recovered. If this be true—and our in
formant affirms that it is—what a frigMfid 'e
duction it conjures up, that perhaps others,
bearing only. the semblance of death, have
been prematurely hurried to the grave.
Cholera at Sandusky City.
SANDVSKT, (Ohio) July 30
The condition of this city, at the present time :
is most fearful and heart rending, from the ef
fects of the Cholera. For some days past, the
epidemic has been making rapid strides, and
it has now reached a crisis which threatens to
involve the most awful consequences. Of a
population of over . 3,000 there are not more
than 700 remaining. The deaths for the last
two days amount to about 100, and it is sel on
the increase. lost oft, d ;tants who have
e s e a "' l dreadful malady have left the city'
in dismay. Business of every description is
entirely suspended, and the various hotels, to
gether with the Post Office, and the public
stores, arc all clased ; many of our physicians
have fallen victims to the disease, and those
Who have escaped its ravages have precipitate
ly fled from the region of death. The sick are
suffering in a dreadful manner for the want of
medical aid and assistance. The living are not
only unable to attend to the wants of the sick,
but can nut bury their dead. There are none
to be found to dig graves or make coffins.
BANnesar(Ohio), August 1, 1819.
The state of things in this city continues de
plorable. The hotebi, warehouses and stores,
all remain closed, and no business is doing.
—The sickness that is prevailing, is distressing
in the extreme. The resident physicians have
either all fallen victims to the disease, or fled
'from•the city. A number of physicians, who
arrived to-day from the interior, state that sev
eral doctors and nurses• were on their way from
Cincinnati, in hopes of giving some relief. A
few have come on here from Cleveland.. It is
almost next to impossible to .tell the exact
number of deaths which occur daily, as the ac
counts are very contradictory. The population
has become se reduced that there are but few
left. •
PITTSBIL . IItO, 'July M
Our account from Sandusky.-today, but too
truly corroborate the melancholy news of the
'timed of ibe cholera in that city: 'There have
been one hundred deaths in two daysi and du
ring laid night twenty more, ere added to the
number, although the population at the present
moment does not reach 500, which but a few
days ago was over 4,000.

In pursuance of the usual notice of thd Stand - -
ing Committee, A large and respectable mebt
ing,of the'nemocratic citizens of
ty assembled at the house of Sanitiel Kuhns, in
the township of Upper Macungy, on Saturday
the 4th day of August, inst. The meeting was
organized by calling the Ilon. PETER NEW-
H A RD to the chair, and appointing Jacob'Marks,
Solomon Gi iesemer, Samuel Marx, Jacob Erdman,
David Lanry and Benjamin Fogel, Vice Presi
dents, Jesse M. Litte,'Janies M. Wilson and
Mifflin 14anuum,Secretaries.
On !notion, a committee consisting of, the
following gentlemen were appointed In draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the meet
ing:—dames W. Wilson, John D. Liman, Jo
seph Greenawalt, Nathan Miller, Leonard Moy
er, Joshua Frey, Benjamin Rupp, Isaac, Haas,

who retired a short - time for that purpose.
During the absence of the corn mit tee, the
meeting was ably addressed by the Hon. Sam
uel A. Bridges.
The committee returning reported the follow
ing, which were adopted :
Whereas, we, a portion of the democracy of
Lehigh county, having, in pursuance of a time
honored custom, assembled together to renew
our political allegiance to ench other, to declare
afresh our devotion to the great democratic
principles which have heretofore so much con
tributed to the elevation and aggrandizement
of our State and Nation, and to divise means
whereby those principles may be promoted and
perpetuated : therefore
Resolved, that in reviewing the history of our
country since the achievements of its indepen
dence, and the causes which have contributed
to its present distinction and enviable position
in the scale of nations, kve feel proud to find,
that for nearly a half century of its existence, it
has been under the control of democratic ad
ministrations, which important fact, forces us
to the irresistible conclusion, that the great and
leading principles of the democratic party of
the Union are not only popular, but the most
congenial to a republican form of government
and the surest foundation upon which such a
government call be based.
Resolved, that the ralministration which has
just closed, and with it too, the career of its il
lustrious and honored head, was one of unex
ampled triumph and glory, the itrm.of whose
power was deeply felt among the nations of the
earth, and the greatness of whose deeds shed
a never-dying lustre upon an admiring world.
Resolved, that in contrasting it with the pre
sent weak and imbecile administration, we
we too ewes arr
Federal party, by trick, treachery, and every
artifice that could insult the understanding and
degrade humanity, in the elevation of a man
to the Chief Magistracy of the nation, acknowl
edged by all to be without taleidS, destititte
of civil acquirements and totally "unfit to he
the ruler of a free people."
Reso turd, therefore, that in Zachary Taylor we
recognize naught but the shadow of an Execu
tive without the substance, a naught, a, cypher
and a man automation in the hands of the most
infamous cabal that ever surrounded the Presi-'
dential chair, and a violator of the most solemn,
.pledges that ever fell from the lips of a man.
Resolved, that from the past exhibition *lbis
weakness, incincerity and duplicity of character
we are justified in indulging tke most fearful en
ticipationg of the future, and are loudly called
upon to guard well the citadel of freedom during
his constitutional term of office, lest liNhould ir
recoverably surrender it into the hands of ambi
tiousand reckless men, alike enemies to their
kindred and to the world.
' Resolved, that in view of this, we feel the more
sensibly the great loss which the nation has sus
tained in the death of our late distinguished chief
Magistrate James IC. Polk, whose ablity and poli
tical integrity were never doubtrd=whose d
ti..es of the Constitution, were
never questioned, and whose administration will
present to an impartial future, one of the bright
est pages of our national history.
Rewired, that we regret the political infatuation
which seems to have seized upon a portion of the
democracy of our own state, during the import
ant campaigns which have recently transpired,
and the false delusions that wedded them to their
federal enemies, by which and which alone, both
our National and State Governments have been
unwisely thrown into the hands of those whose
principles have ever been at war with ours, and
who have always been the avowed enemies to the
country in every period of Lis existence. :
Resolved, that the means to which they resorted
to produce these delusions, to coerce submission
to federal dictatimis and to dragoon the poor man
into hateful political services, were disgraceful in
th e view of all honorable men, characteristic of
the patty which practised them and a renewal of
black, cockade tyranny and oppression.
Raoked, that we look not with envy upon pow
er thus surrepticiously obtained. Its exist
ence will be of the most transient.charaeter 7 ,4ir
thought the dark gloom which.the reign of feder
alism has thrown aroutui 'us, we begin to a'ee
glimMerings of light, which betoken the dawn of
another day, when the sun of Democracy, will
again arise in all its pristine glory, unobscured
by a single cloud, and already do we begin to
feel the uphavings of the mighty mass ! Which is
indignant to hurl usuipers from the hi
j gh plices
in which they are. dishonorably seated. •
. Revoked, therefore that we hail with pleasere
the.return of our wandering brethren to their poets
of duty and.view with delight the increasing In
dications of a union of the democracy of our no
ble Commonwealth, more strongly connected to
gether than it ever has been before, and IrTilch
we hope, federal chicanery and falsehood can
never again rend assunder.
Resolved, That we have the most abundant rea
son to condemn the policy of the present stale
administration for again setting afloat a worthless
shinplaster currency, at a time when the country
is overladen with specie; for its attempt by the
construction of the North Branch Canal, to in
crease our slate debt and thereby add to the pres
ent taxes already to be born, and for its admitted
subserviency to the monied power, in its decla
ration of friendship to corporations, which are
fatal to individual enterprize, and oppressive to
the people.
Resolved, that we call upon the executive to re
deem his promises made upon the stump during
the late gubernatorial contest. We ask him for
the promised benefits which were to result from
his elevation to power. We ask for the boasted
advantages which the Farmer, Mechanic and
Manufacturer were to receive. We ask for the
increase of wages for the poor man. We ask
for the voluntary feeding of the hungry, and the
clothing of the naked, which was promised.
Resoled!, that in reply to these inquiries noth
ing but a muttering response comes down from
the high place of his excellency and declares in
the most cold and chilling language,ttalas,ye stn.
pid and confiding people ! J,Cnow ye .not, that the
promises, which I then made to you, were the
promises of a politician which were never to be
redeemed! Know ye not that at that time, decep
tion was upon my tongue and falsehood in my
heart Know ye not, that* was my only aim to
cheat and defraud you.
Resolved, that herein we have a trite exemplifi
cation of the beauties and benefits Of federal prin
ciples and federal rule, from the blighting influ
ences of which,,it is our earnest prayer that our
beloved state and nation may be forever deliver
ed
Resolved, that we approve of the nomination of
John A. Gamble, tsq., as our candidate for Canal
Commissioner, and pledge ourselves to use all
honorable means to promote his elevation.
Resolved, that the course pursued by the Ilon.
BamuelA. Bridges, our Representative in Con
gress, was thoroughly democratic, and as such,
has met the approbation of his friends and the
party.
Resolved, that our representatives in the State
Legislature, Messrs. Marx and Klotz, have al
ways stood by the cause of their constituents,
and have advocated whenever the occasion re
quired it, democratic principles. Their - course
has been generally approved.
Resolved, that our democratic brethern in the
different townships. are requested to hold their
democratic elections at.their respective places on
Friday the 21st September next, and elect as
many delegates as they may be entitled to,
which delegates will meet in a delegate county
Convention, on Saturday the 22nd September, at

Another Treatment of Cholera.
Dr. Cartwright's (of New Orleans,) Treat
mentof cholera is composed of 20 giainsof chalk
mercury, (Hydragyum' cum creta) or English
Calomel, 20 grains Cayenne pepper, 10 grains
gum camphor 1G grains calcined charcoal, and
the same quantity of gum arable. The above
united constitute a dose for an adult. It is -best
given in two table spoonsful of cold water. It
should be swallowed at once without stoppingto
taste it. Itzenerally causes a sweat to break
out in the stomach, bowels and extremities, with
little sips of hot camomile, sage, balm, or mint
tea or chickeit water. Than when the sweat
commences, all that is necessary is to support
the sweat by drinking freely of warm leas-or
Chicken water, until the purgative part of the
composition has time to empty the gall bladder
of its strabilious contents, and to enable the blood
to circulate through the liver. The heat to as
sist the above powder in causing sweat, may be
applied to the extremities, in the shape of bot
tles filled with hot water, and to the stomach and
and bowels, by a jacket or shirtwrung out of
scalding water and rolled into a ball as large as a
child's head, wrapped in a dry flannel.
As soon as the powder is swallowed, a napkin
dipped in cold water should be stuffed into the
mouth, to take out the burning taste and to pre
vent vomiting. If instaed ofa sweat a flushing of
the face and beat of the skin be caused by the
hot applications the lancet should be used to bring
the system down to the sweating, point, or a free
cupping over the stomach. Dtlnkers should be
given while the blood is flowing, to prevent the
loss of blood from debilitating, which it will do
if the drinks be absorbed ; blood letting. by re
moving venous plethora, facilitates absorption.
A sweat will stop the d ' larrhma and vomiting, if it
can be established.

Curious Case of While Slabcry.—The Colum
bia (Gen.) Democrat mentions that a White girl;
17 years old, named Mary Fann, who had been
sold as a slave, by her inhuman father two
years ago, has lately been rescued by the moth
er from her servitude, in which she had been
treated as a negro slave. It seems that Fann's
wife had obtained, several years since, a divorce
from him, and subsequently married. The girl
Nancy, was taken off by her fath a er Fann to
Wynnton, wnere, tar a wino norse nti Jeesey
wagon, she was turned over to James' R. Jack
son, as a slave. BY some means the mother
heard, of the situation of her daughter, and with
the volunteer aid of lawyers and sherif, &c., she
recovered the child by a writ of habeas carpus.
The public feeling was becoming highly excited
against both purchaser anti seller. the former of
whom was a church member, the latter a &grad.
ed being in open co.npubinage.
Breach of Pronsese.—For the benefit of our un
married friends of both sexes, to whom a right
understanding of the law may be important, we
copy . the following from an opinion ofjudge Black
—recently affirmed by the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, per Cutler, Justice, Dowry vs.
McMillan. 8 Bar, 160: ,
If a man offers to marry a woman or promises
to•do it, he is not bound to comply with it, unless
she agrees to accept him. It takes two to make
a marriage contract as well as any other bargin.
Where a man has a contract of marriage with a
woman, and merely puts it off, and she becomes
impatient, she cannot drag him into court and
demand damages, unless she has formerly offer
ed to perform the contract on her part, and he
dishonestly refus es and so puts an end to the con
tract, because , perchance he would prefer the
marriage to the suit, and he ought to have a
chance to make a choice.
Prussic Acid.—A German paper says that sus
pension of life caused by prussic acide, is only
apparent ; life is immediately restored by pour
ing acetate of potash and common salt disolved
in water on the head and spine. In this coun
try rabbits have been at once recovered from
the effects of prussic acide by this means.
Cholera in Montreal.—On Sunday afternoon
our Roman Catholic fellow citizens held a sol
emn procession in honor of the Virgin Mary, to
obtain her intercession' in Heaven, for the ces
sation of the - scourge of cholera, which is now
ravaging this city. The multitude numbered
from 15,000 to 20,000. In double file it took two
hours to pass by any stationary point. A statu
ettee of the Virgin Mary was in the procession,
which was also accompanied by music, choris
ters, banners, dec., and by two of the fire compa
nies in uniform.—Gazelle.
Jack Ilays.—The Memphis Eagle publishes a
letter from Galveston, dated on the 3d instant,
which announces the death of (Jul. Jack Hays, of
