Lebanon VallawAailroad.
The Reading Joinnit:4gs: The question of
authorizing a municipal eubscription of $200,-
000 to the stock of the Lebanon Valley Rail
road, submitted to a Vote of the citizens of
Reading last Wednesday, was carried by an
overwhelming majority., The returns sum up
as follows: For the subscription 1880:
Against the subscription,, 708. Majority 972.
The whole vote polled was 23.88, of which
considerably more than two thirds were mist
in favor of the subscription.
The result shows that the people of Reading
are alive to their interests determined that their
beautiful town shall continue to prosper. The
Lebanon Valley Road is now a fixed feat, and
will be built beyond a peradventure. Its sutt
ees will alsd give, an impetus to, and ensure
the constriction of the links between Reading,
and Allentown and Columbia, and thnsplace us
in direct communication with New York, Phil.
adelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Harrisburg,
Pittsburg, and•the great 'West, Erie and the
Lakes, &c. No inland town in the . Union
will enjoy equal advantages, and none will be
able to compote with. us in the spirit of pro.
gross. Capitalists will turn their attention hith
,erward, and mechanics, workmen, and business
men of every sort will follow in their wake,
bringing their money, their enterprise, and
their industry, to assist in building up the city.
In a word, Reading is now on the high road to
prosperity, and nothing but a general panic—a
.universal crash—that will affect every other
town and city in equal degree—can stay her
onward march from henceforward.
The citizens ot Lebanon will vote W. 9
think on the 25th instant, upon a Borough sub.
scription of $50,000. Judging from the spirit
of the press in .its favor we entertain no doubt
but the subscription will be sanctioned by even
a target-vote than 'that of Reading.
Geh. Cameron, who is the President of the
Lebanon Valley road, is also the person who
managed so ingeniously to get a charter for the
load from Allentown to Reading thereby giv
ing us a . direct road to ihe South and West.—
The General is a commissioner in the road and
will be in Allentevyn shortly, and in connec
tion with the other commissioners take the
preparatory steps to organize the Company.
The Crystal Palace. Illzhibitibn
In the notice of a very curious work of art,
which recently arrived in this country, inten
ded for the exhibition at New York, as we
copied frOgi the Herald, it was spoken of as a
collection of colossal figures, designed by Thor .
waldsen. That paper says the figures are thir.
teen in number, representing Christ and the
Twelie Apostles. They are larger than life
size, that of our Saviour being twelve feet, and
the apostles" eight feet in height. 77wrivaldsen,
whose genius projected this singular work of
'art, lived only to complete the models in plas.
ter,-• and the design of embodying-in marble
this sublime conception of the sculptor's genius
has not been aCcomplished. The group is to
be placed in the circular enclosure now erect.
ing in the area of the Crystal Palace, and which
opens on one of the main aisles. A baptismal
font forms part of the collection, and is to stand
immediately in front of the figure of the Saviour.
The whole will, doubtless, form one of the
most curious and imposing groups in the exhi
bition.
Among the collection of curiosities from Eng_
land, are some that will deeply interest the an.
tiquarian and student of history. In this class
are eight complete suits of ancient armor, that
have been preserved as historical relics in that
venerable repository of the past—whose exis
tence dates back-to the time of William the
Conqueror—the Tower of London. Each of
these suits of armor, we understand, belongs to
a different age in English history. They will
serve to exhibit the mechanical skill of the
middle age; in the fabrication of defensive ar
mor and the weapons of war. , Between these
grim specimens Of antiquity and our modern
military inventions—between the mace and
battle axe of Richard. Cmur de Lion, and the
l'aixhan gene; the coat of mail of Cressy and
Agincourt and Colt's revolvers, what a history
intervenes of progress in the mechanic and in
dustrial arts, and of painful labor and toil ! Two
of the suits of armor are to be placed in each
of the four galleries overlooking the centre, un
der the dome, whore is to stand Moraohetti's
equestrian statue of Washington.
The French articles, it is understood, will
soon arrive. Some of these are rare and per
fectly unique in their kind—the products ol the
government manufactories in France, whose
fabrications stand unrivalled by the industry of
the world. Among these are the celebrated
Sevres porcelain and the world renowned
Gobelin tapestry and carpets. Of the first of
these articles, Napoleon 111, sends one hun
dred specimens, of the greatest beauty and per
fection of workmanship. Some of the large
vases and pictures are said to be worth 810,000.
The Gobelin tapestry and carpets will require
a• longer description than we have space to
give: They are said to be beautiful in the ex
treme, and superior to anything which can be
manufactured in Persia. They have altiotorio
as well as-artistic interest, their mannfaufure
being traced back to the middle of the fifteenth
century, when the practice of an art or trade
WWI called a mystery—a term which may still
be properly applied to the Manufacture of these
costly textures. The Gobelin carpets are made
entire, and have a
_pap half an inch thick.—

The, following plain-spoken Beelitnents are
front the -Ptovidenoe Journal :
"If any Whig President had done what Gen.
Pierce is doing, the whole conservatism of the
country would be aroused, and half the. papers
would be filled with denunciations of 'Seward
ism' Castle Garden would not hold the crowds
who wottld throng there to 'save the Union,'
and the committee of safety would sit daily.—
Gen. Pierce is filling the peat offices In the in
terior of New York with Barnbumers, and is
distributing his favors in the South to rank Se-.
cessionists. He is pledged to sustain the Com
promise, and he fills the executive offices with
men who have depounced it and opposed it
from the beginning. He removes Whigs who
were always in favor of the Compromise, and
puts In their places Demobrats who, where al
ways agdinst it. Yet no cry is raised that the
'Union is in danger.' Abolitionists and Seces
sionists, men who could not cross Mason and
Dixon's line without the danger of being lynch
ed, and men who hold that the inatitutiun of
slavery is the 'corner-stone of our republican
institutions,' meet in living harmony around
he flesh-pot of office. Of all kinds of humbug,
the humbug of Democratic conservatism is the
most ridiculous, and the man who is imposed
upon by it has the least excuse."
Trouble in the Camp
Tfie New Hampshire Patriot, Gen. Pierce's
organ, in his own State, mourns over disaffec
tion in the Democratic ranks. In its issue of
June 14th, it employs this emphatic language :
"What'are the charges constantly made by
these factious men, against the President?—
They assert that he has filled a large portion
of the offices with northern abolitionists and
Southern disunionists—that he has forfeited his
pledges and betrayed the party by conferring
offices upon the enemies of the Democratic
platform—tat he has sacrificed the interest of
the party to promote his own ambitious views.
These are the charges made against Frank
Pierce, by men calling themselves New Ham
shire Democrats."
Such, according to the Patriot, are the charges
brought against the President by his own party
in his own State, by men who know him best.
They say "he has sacrificed the interermof the
party, to promote his own ambitious views."—

Man Restorcd.—The 'Germantown Telegraph'
is informed by a correspondent at Chestnut
dist a man a few days ago went into a pond'
to bathe, and being unable to swim, got be
yound his depth, and was drowned. Several
persons near by came to his assistance; but he
had been under the - water .seven minutes be
fore they fished ()imam. They took him ashore
and laid him upon his breast, his head a little
lower than the rest of his body, and commended
rubbing him. His face and neck were perleet
ly black, the veins in his neck greatly swollen
and all evidences of life had departed. The
rubbing was. continued for an hour, with alco
hol, when consciousness returned. He was
then rolled up in blankets and carried home,
and next morning was quite restored. Ile had
been suffering from severe rheumatism, so that
he was almost doubled up; but the morning
after the rubbing, it had all disappeared, and he
said he never felt better in his life.
Free Democracy
The Free Democracy of this State met in Con•
vention at Harrisburg on the 2d instaind placed
in nomination the following State ticket to be
supported in Ootober next:Judge of the Supreme
Court, William M. Stephenson,.of Mercer; Ca
nal Commissioner, Dr. Robert Mitchelliof Indi
ana; Auditor General, Neville It. Craig. of Alle
ghany ; Surveyor General, Lawrence; E:Vorson !
of MontgoMery county. Thus it will be seen
that Norristown has the honor or furnishing the
(..andidate for Surveyor General. Mr. CorsOn
would make an excellent officer, and personally
we almost regret that his chances of an election
are so small.
Fatal Accident.
On Tuesday of last week Samuel Ilciffaian, Cor
oner, held an inquest upon the body of a man
named Henry Hoffman, at the hotel of Mr. Bush,
in Whitemarsh township, this county. It ap
pears that Mr. H. called at Mr. B.'s house on the
evening previous, and asked to stay all night,
which request was granted. He was somewhat
in liquor at the 'joke, and , was placed in a room
in the third story. In the morning he was found
dead, lying upon the pavement in front of the
house. It is supposed that sometime during the
night he got out of the dormant window on the
roof from which he fell-upon the roof of the piaz
za, and from thence to the ground. The verdict
of the jury was in accordance with the above
statement. The deceased was somewhat advan
ced in years, and has been•residing at different
places to that neighborhood, some 12 or 14 years.
He was originally from Lancaster, where he has
some relatives residingat this time.--Montgonc=

Indian Treaty at Easton, Oot. 1778
A correspondent of the Easton Sentinel relates
the following: The influencb of Sir William
Johnson, agent for Indian Afairs, was invoked
by the Government of Pennsylvania to bring the
Indians to a new Congress. Neither presents
nor promises were spared, and in Ocl. 1778,
there was opened at Easton, one of the most im
posing assemblages ever beheld in Pennsylva
nia. Chiefs for the Six Nations wer here,
namely Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Magas,
Senecas and Tuscaroras. There were also pre.
sent ambassadors from the tributary tribes of
NauticAces, Canoys, Tuteloes, Chenangoes,Del-
awares, Unamies, Minisinks, Mohicans, Wass
ingers, and Shawnese. Both the Governors of
Pehnsylvania and New Jersey attended, with
Sir William Johnson and George Qroghan Esq.,
Sub Indian Agent, a deputation from the Provin
cial Assembly of New Jersey, and a" large con
course of eminent citizens from Philadelphia
and the neighboring counties. The number of
the Indians, including their squaws and papoo- .
ses was five hundred and seven. Imposing cert.-
monies, both for State and security, were kept
up throughout the negotiations which continued
from the 10th to the 24th of October. At three
o'clock each•day, Governor Denny of Pennsyl
vania, and Governor Bernard of New Jersey,
marched from their lodgings, (Adam •Yohe's
Hotel, south west corner of Northampton and
Hamilton Street,) to Nathaniel Vernon's Hotel,
(at the Point,or junction of the Rivers,) the place
of conference, guarded by a party of the Royal
Americans in front, and on the flanks, and a de•
tachment of Col. Weiser's Provincials, in sub•di
visions in the rear, with colors flying, drums
beating and music playing. All this military
pomp and parade were daily exhibited• and re
newed with additional ceremonies.
Easton did 'not contain more than about 30
houses then, they were all crammed with gen
tlemen from Philadelphia and elsewhere, the
three or four pubild houses not being able to ac•
commodate there. The Indians hdd erected their
temporary wigwams along the shores of the
Rivers Lehigh and Delaware.
One or more of the wealthy intelligent citizens
of our flourishing Town, should cause a histori.
cal painting to be executed, commemorative of
an event so imposing, and so important in our
annals, and as we have those amongst us who
are descendants of such as were present at that
celebrated Treaty, another inducement so to do
•
is added.
Turkey and Russia. ,
Foreign as. well as home opinions seem to re•
,gard the present difficulties between Russia and
Turkey as being.of a serious nature. Russia
,has made a demand upon the Sultan for a strip
of territory, which the latter .is not willing to .
concede. The refusal, it is thought, has been
made by the Turkish sovereign under the assur
ance or anticipation that England and France
would join her in resisting the-demands of the
Czar, as she is tuo weak alone to cope with the
power of the “Northern Dear."• The North Brit
ish Review, treating upon the subject, particu
larly alludes to the progress of Russia in territo7
rial domain. The writer says that, for a century
and a half, site has been constantly and steadily
adding to her territory. Since the accession of
Peter the Great, she has extended her frontier
seven hundred miles towards Berlin and Paris,
six hundred and thirty towards Stockholm , five
hundred towards Constantinople, and•one thou
sand towards Persia and the-Britisk possessions
- • •
In India. It is stated that,-
Her acquisitions from Sweden are greater
than what remains of that kingdom.
Her acquisitions frojn Poland are nearly
equal to the Austrian Empire. •
a Her acquisitions from Turkey in Europe
are of greater extent than the Prussian domiu7
ionsi - exclusive of the Rhenish provinces.
a Her acquisioni Cron! Asiatic Turkey are
nearly equal to the whole of the smaller States
of Germany.-
acquisitioits from Persia are equal in ex
tent to'England. •
Her acquisitiom in Tartary have an arena
not inferior to that of Turkey in Europe, Orcece
Italy and Spain.
The acquisitions she has made in the last
sixty.four years (up t 0.1837) are equal in extent
and importance to the whole empire she had in
Europe before that time."
This system of encroachment and aggradize-
Ment has naturally produced alarm. and hence,
the mission of Prince Menshikoir, in which he
is charged with some extraordinary demand up.
on Turkey, has excited unusual attention and led
to the combination of England, France and the
Ottothan Empire.
Cure for Hydrophobia.—The season of Hydro.
phobia is at hand'and we shall doubtless be'cal
led upon to chronicle ere long the deaths of sev
eral fellow-beings by this most torturing, horri
ble malady. Half a dozen specifics for its cure
have been given to the public from time to time
yet we do not remember that one- single case of
confirmed rabies has ever been cured within the
last dozen years. Still, We ate confident that, in
the Providence of God, there is for every bane
an antidote, and it becomes men to 'prove all
things' until the remedy for Hydrophobia shall
have been discovered and universally made
known. A correspoudent of The likiti?nal - Era
writes from Millbury, Mass., as follows'; •
I am now in my 80th year, and have obtain
ed what information I could, both frbm observa
tion and critical study. It has lately been discover,
ed that a strong decoction made of the bark of the
roots of the white ash, when drink as a medicine
will Cure the bite Cori mad dog. This undoubt
edly is owing to the fact that rattlesnakes can be
made 'more easily to crawl over live fire coals
than white ash leaves; and they are never found
in the:forests where the white ash timber
groin.% Would it not be advisable for druggists
in our, largetowns and cities to keep coristantly
on_hrand a medicine prepared from the, roots of
the white asst It might be the means of, saving
Seine valuable lives from a sudden painful death:

History of Arthur Spring
A.partial history of Arthur Spring, dictated by
himself to the two ministers who attended him,
has been published. He says he was born in
'Parke, County of Kerry, Ireland, May 17,1815,
the illegitimate son uf Arthur Spring, and a wo
men of disreputable character. In 11332, he was
married to a woman named Cordeus, with whom
he lived but a short time. He immediately after
came to this country,. and 1833 was married to
Margaret Carr of Philadelphia, by whom he had
six children. He then went into the confection
ery businiss in Philadelphia, and 1843 was sent
to the Penitentiary for obtaining goods under
false pretence. He was pardoned three months
after by Coy. Porter, and resumed his business,
but in'about a year after, in August, 1844, failed
and went to New York. Eatly In 1845, his wife
died, and in about two months after—on July 7th
—was going to marry Bridget Milkee, but two
nights previous to the wedding, he was arrested
for - burglarrand - imprison - ed. He was tried and
convicted s and sentenced to Sing Sing prison for
8 years and 4 months. In the hitter part of 1862,
he was pardoned and on the 6th of November,
1852, went to Philadelphia. On the night of the
10th of March,' 1853, Honora Shaw and Ellen
Lynch were murdered in Federal street, Phila
delphia, and on the 11th, he was arrested for the
crime. He Was tried and convicted of both mur
ders, and on the 10th of June was hung—just
three months after the commission of his last
crime. Ho died in his 38th year. He was a
man of great shrewdness and plausibility of ad.
dress.--Daily Sun. -
Newspaper Files.—Even the poorest newspaper
published in the world is worth being filed away
for future reference. They are sure to come up
some day as important reminiscenes, and even
as evidence in important lawsuits. We see this
daily illustrated. Persons areconstantly calling
to examine our files, and not a circuit" court , is
held but that some one—and often two or three—
connected with our office, receives a summons
to attend, with files of the paper, to be .used in
ev . idence. This subjects us at times to no little
'ancoyince, besides:_ loss 'of time. We do 'riot
notice the matter, hoWevti; Tor the . purpose of
complaining; but to suggest that the archi s ves of
every county in which a'newspaper is published
should contain a file of such paper, and that
some provision should be made by law as to
make it the dui.) , of the probate judge or clerk of
the circuit court, or both,!oprpvideand preserve
these files. Such is the law in several of the
States of the Unkin, and such a law should be
established in Alalraina.—(Mont. Advertiser.
Standing Stone.—Where now stands the borough
of Huntingdon, before the Revolution, was an In
cliantown ; it was a place'of Meeting of the adja
cent tribes; and they had here erected - a tall, slicn
stone, of a peculiar shape and formation. This
stone was termed the Standing-Stone. The first
white , settlement at this place was named after,
anti celled Standing-Stone. The creek which
enters the Juniata river immediately below our
borough, received its name from this stone; as

A Fruitful Search.
We noticed on Saturday the arrest of William
Cregir, a very sirbcestful• counterfeiter, by U. El.
fieplitt - Jkarshals brossin and Jenkins. After
the phioner had peen Safely deposited in prison;
the abbve iignied officers proceeded to his resi
dence in ifontgoinery Cot:inlY, for the purpose of
searching his premises. After spending mucti
time in a fruitles4 search', they returned to the
city on Saturday night. Officer Jenkina not feel
ing satisfied, procured a vehicle last night, and
in company with Crossin, returned to the
ty of Cregar's house, so as to be able to renew
their search early this morning. Just after day;
light they ransacked the ba'rn of Cregar, remo
ing every thing that could hide the
.implencents'
fur counterfeiting.
On removing a large quantity of corn husks,
which . occupied one corner,' they found nearly
sl2,ooo-in banknotes, and a copper plate for al: ,
tering Bank of North America notes of the - State
of Indiana, to the Bank of North America of the ,
State of Connecticut, there being such a Bank in,
each State. Among the notes found were about .
$5,000 in the City Trust and Banking Company ,
of the State of New York, of the denomination .
of SLOB, ssos and sloos. The slos and ssos aP7
pear to be good notes, altered by means of acids . ;
and filled up 'for, larger amounts. The sloos
appear to be undefaced, and excel anything of
the kind in the perfection of the engraving and
in the quality of the paper, we have ever before
seen. They ate very dangerous counterfeits,.
but have never been signed.
The balance of the notes arc sss on the Tren
ton Banking Company, signed, trimmed, and'
ready ray issue, and $24 On the Harrisburg Bank ;
reissue, also signed and ready for circulation
The engravings are admirably executed, and
would deceive the best judges. Of these two
latter denomination of notes there are about
$6OOO.
Had Cregar not been arrested just at the time
he was, ilis-mOre-than-probable - that we should
in a few days; babe had our city flooded with
these dangerous' counterfeits. The names of
Cregar and fitettler have been familiar to the
ears of the Police officers for years, in connec
tion with counterfeiting. It Is believed, that"
Cregar has got up and passed mote counterfei t
money, and been the means of imprisoning more
men through his traffic in the spurious stuff than
any single man in the Union. His, cJr in
crime is now likely to clos e for , many years. to
come, as the testimony against tirn is said to be
overwhilming.
Brigham Youngs Dream.

It seems that a new sect has . sprang up among
the Mormons, who renounc e spiritual

is hopeles?ly,"wedcled" to the.oystem. The fol

_of Gov. Young is actually taken
fromtheDeseret Newt, theMbfmon paper, and is
doubtless a correct report of •what :the Prophet
said. It,is hard to realize that a people live who
can be duped by such blasphemy :--
