Sale of the Public Works.
The' following resolutions` were adopted
at the,Depocratic county meeting in Berks.
TheY'spali - the honest sentiments of a per)•
ple ivltol have been only too willing to take
it for granted that all was right and all was
well.
RESOLVED, That post experience hos
shown the absolute necessity of the Demo
cratVc. party insisting strenuously upon the
practice of rigid economy in both State and
General Governments, thereby preventing
that lavish expenditure. which, is carried
on, bids fair to engulf both Governments,
and people in a common ruin.
RESOLVED, That we cannot approve of the
large, and in some cases eictravag,unt appro
priations made by the Legillature for the
past two years ; and that we .commend the
conduct of our Senator and members in op- ,
poSing them and instruct their successors to
pursue the'saine course for we hold it to be,
a .well settled principle that the State debt I
should not be increased for any cause what
ever, except that of national defence.
Resor.vEn, That we approve of the pro
ject of an immediate sale of all the Public
Works now opened by the Commonwealth.
inasmuch as past experience has shown that
it is utterly impossible to have them well and
honestly managed whilst in the hands of the
State, because their sale would render a re
duction of taxation possible, and because we
believe that their retention in the hands of
the State is exerting a prejudicial eflkt upon
the morals, not only of the Legislature, but
of the people of the - Commonwealth, and that
therefore our Senator and Representatives
'are hereby iustructed to introduce or sup
port an act providing for such sale.
In• reference to these resolutions the
'l3erks County Free Press, an organ of the
!party, says :
"These . resolutions are precisely what is
; now required from the people. Fearless
::anti manly, they speak the sentiments of the
- masses, uninfluenced by any fears of or
hopes of favor from the powers that be.—
They proclaim, beyond a doubt, the feelings
entertained by the party in Pennsylvania,
:as to the urgent necessity of reform in the
.aitrairs of the. Commonwealth. It is worthy
.of remark, that they, to some extent, put the
'party in 13erks county, at issue with the
NState administration and Legislature, in re
•gard to some or their leadinr , b acts. An
.abiding confidence is expressed in the hen
oisty of the Executive, yet whatever is.
deemed reprehensible in the conduct ofhoy
tpubliel 6ervaut, is freely commented upon
And exposed."
.At a recent meeting of the Whigs of
Chester county, the following resolution on
tthersame subject was adopted :
triasoLvim, That in common with many
of our fellow citizens of all parties, we be
lieve the .only effectual relief from the enor-
vinous burdens of our State debt will be
found •in the sale of the main line and other
divisions.at the public works, and the total
separation of the State government from the
construction and inanaiement of canals and
railroads, for which private enterprise is
new fully adcquate.
That is true doctrine, and if the people of
this:State ever hope to be relieved from the
onerous 'taxes which now burden them, they
must dispose of the State Improvements.—
Under honest management they might prove
the boast and glory of the State ; as they
ha ve•becn and DOW are, they will be her
shame and her ruin.
Extraordinary Discovery.
On Monday last, whilst some hands on
the Cincinnati, Wilmington and Zanesville
Railroad, at Cusack's Mill, about five miles
south of this city, were quarrying stone, a
human skeleton was found embedded in
rock, -on a bluff bank on the south branch of
Jonathan's creek, thirty feet from the sur
face. A 'small fissure in the rock of about
:two inches in width, opened to the resting
place of these remains, which, in all human
probability, may have been deposited there
ceramics itgo. The rock coritninual un in
dentation of the greater part of the body, as
perfect as though moulded of potter's clay.
From the hip to the font, particularly, this
.sarcophagus was as complete as carving
could have made it. The proportions, cur
vatures, &c., of the limb were distinct and
regular, and indicated that the skeleton had
been that of a person of full size.
flow, and at what period of the world,
these remains there deposited where found,
furnishes a wide theme for conjecture, as
well as a subject for the discussion of geolo
gists., 'The rational probabilities are that at
some very ancient period this body had been
washed.from the creek into the bank of the
stream, and that the continual deposite of
sand around formed it into rock, which has
been increasing for ages, as ages only could
have formed the immense amount of very
hard sand stone which surrounded it.
This discovery establishes what past his
tory has heretofore failed to establish, to
wit : The phenomenon °in human skeleton
Within a body of solid rock. We have no
hesitation in believing, from the appearance
of the rock, that at one period the portion
surrounding this body was entire and solid,
but that the undermining of the rock by the
stream of some great convulsion of nature,
had opened the fissure which existed when
these remains were discovered.
W e saw this skeleton, and the rock from
which it was taken, the day after it had
been discovered. The bones were in a
good state of_ perservation. -A portion oldie
skull may be seen at our office.—Zanesville

DEATH WHILE ON TILE WAY TO THE AL

terly, while on his way from Franklin to
Milford, 111ass4 -, otl ..Sdnday last, to be mar
ried, met with a singular and fatal accident.
H e stopped at 'a well to water his horse,
when the bucket fell into the well. He
descended to obtain it, when the well caved

Mprder Cage in Chester County.
We glean from the West Chester (Pa.)
Jcifixsonian, the following particulars of the
trial of Thomas Slyder, convicted of the
murder of Peter Cork. It will be seer; that
both parties were colored men. The mur
derer (who professes to have been concern
ed in the Christiana murders) was induced
to commit this atrocious act by his attach
ment to the wife of the deceased.
Tim Munnon CASll.—noniris Slyder, a
stout and not very prepossessin g colored
man, was put upon trial on Monday mor
ning for the murder of Peter Cork, another
colored man, by poison.
The indictment was for administering ar
semic to Cork, in Whiskey, of which all the
parties were particularly fond. The object
of.tho murder was to monopolize Cork's
wife.
The trial lasted until' Friday, and was con
ducted by Mr. Woodward for the prosecu
tion, and J. B. Ever hurt, and J Wilson, for
the defence.
It appeared in evidence that Slyder, Cork
and wife were no intimate terms ; particu
larly Slyder and madam Cork. and that they
were often drunk togettn;r. On the day pre
ceding Cork's death, Slyder purchased quar
ter of an ounce of arsenic, at the drug store
in Marshalton, for the ostensible purpose of
killing rats, but used it that night to swee
ten Cork's whiskey. The next morning
discovered the dark deed in the death of .
Cork
Slyder was the first to announce the fact,
I slating that he and Cook had been drinking
for several days, and that Cork had drunk
himself to death. On Mr. Speakman's visi
ting the house of Cork that morning, he was
pressed by Slyder to go in and see Cork,
"to see that there Iver no marks upon him
and to he satisfied that he didn't kill him:"
Upon his arrest, and while at the 'squires,
he manifested d disposition to talk and sing,
and said, “If I did poison Peter Cork, gen
tlemen, say so." He made various expres
sions at different times, till leading to con
viction that he was guilty. I wistiny throat
had been cut before I came here." If I poi
soned
Peter Cork, prove it," "Oh, I wish
my young master was here," and such like
exclamations were familiar to his. IVhile
in prison he 'was often troubled by the ap
pearance of "little devils" in the corners of
his cell, that disturbed him very much;
these mere evidently the workings of a guil
ty
conscience, as he had no symptoms of
adiriunt lemurs. 'Some (la) s after lodged ;
in prison, he acknowledged to Dr. Brinton,
the attending physician. his guilt, that he
had given the arsenic in whiskey, and that
he had given Peter several drinks.
We understand that Slyder professes to
have been concerned in the Christiana mur
der.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. oo Friday even
ing last, after being out but a vevy short
time.
Gold Discoveries in Oregon.
The followi'ng letter . from Captain Wm.
Tichenor, forme, ly of Newark, N. J., coin
municates to time Advertiser of that city, in
telligence of new discoveries of gold in Ore
gon, which we have not seen stated else
where. The same letter MCDtions that J.
S. Gamble, also formerly of Newark, had
previously left Port Oxford :
POUT OXFORD, Oregon Territory, j
March Ist, 1853. S
This is a beautiful country, and is settling
very fast. There are a great number of
men employed here in getting out timber
for the San Francisco market. It is mostly
white cedar, the most beautiful wood I ever
saw, There is a great abundance of it in
this section of Oregon, but there is very
little in the other sections. It surpasses
whit e pine, and sells, in San Francisco, in
the square hewn form, for more than the
ready sawed Oregon lumber. There is a
very large Indian trade, and there are gen•
erally from ten to thirty in one place at a
t .e. Otter skins are worth here from $5O
to $lOO per skin. A person here with a
50 horse engine, lath and planing machine,
two upright and one circular saw, which.
would cost about $BOOO, could t',al.•e about
$100,090 a year. The price for lumber
dressed per M. would not exceed $l5, and
the freight from here to San Francisco $l5,
making an expense of $3l ; the lumber will
sell for $OO, and thus a profit of $59 will be
made per M. If there should be only $3O
profit, a smart and industrious man could
make $75,000 a year. There is no timber
on this side of the continent at this time of
the kind, and Eastern manufacturers can
not ship it and sell it for less than $35 per 111..
I am now washing out gold at the rate of
ten dollitrs an hour. Two others by the
side of me, with the assistance of a squaw,
(for an Indian man is not worth his food) are
making $5O a day. We will have thous-
ands of inhabitants here in a few months, as
gold is everywhere in this 'vicinity. All
the soldiers in the garrison are at work, ma-•
king front $2O n day and upwards, but none
less than Sill. No person would work for
the gold, until my partner tried, and after
two or three hours' work he was offered
$35 for what was in his machine, which he
took. The next day he worked about four
hours, and again sold his sand for $4O. On
investigation it was found that he had sold
$6O worth of gold for $35, and $BO worth
for $4O. We have taken out $BO worth in
two hours and forty minutes, then let escape
$lO worth. This was the first mining done
here, and now it is ascertained that it will
yield a rich reward, everywhere along the
beach. •
MOSHER OF A SON BY HIS FATHEIL—Isaac
Coi, of Sassafras Neck, was committed to
Elkton jail, in Cecil county, Maryland, last
week, charged with the murder of his own
a lad between fifteen and sixteen years
of age. It appears that the boy interferred
to prevent strife between his father and
mother, when the father turned upon tho
boy, who fled, but was overtaken, knocked
lifeless by, a blow with a: stick, and his
throat cut from ear to ear. It is tbe impres
sion of some that Cox is insane.
AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.—David
son, an old revolutionary soldier, and a na
tive of New-Jersey, died, after a short
ill
neas, in Dearborn County, Indiana, in Au
gust 1833, aged ono hundred and seven
years,.two months, and ten days. He had,
at different periods of his life, five wives,
and, at the tune of his death, was the father
of forty-seven children ! While residing, in
Pennsylvania, near the old Redstone Fort,
his wife gave birth to five children in eleven
Imonths ! This extraordinary man, when in
his one hundred and fourth year, mowed'
one week for Esq. Pendleton. of Hamilton - I
County. Ohio, about two miles from Cincin- 1
nati, during which he mowed one acre per,
day of heavy timothy grass. He was about
five feet six inches in hight. His frame
was not supported by ribs, as the frames of
ordinary Men are, but an apparently solid
!sheet of j bone supplied' their place. He
could hold up his hands in a vertical posi-
I don, and recteve a blow from the fist of a
powerful man, on the lateral portion of his
body, without inconvenience. He served
, throughout the entire Revolution, under
Gen. Washington, was engaged in most of
the Indian wars since, and was the compa
nion of Nlarion and Rodgers, and of many
other distinguished early pioneers of our
Western and Southern wilds. Our readers
may rest assured that this statement is cor
rect, as we received it from Mr. Alexander
Wilson, of North Madison, who is the forty- j
fifth child of the subject of this paragraph
(1(.) Banner,
THE ERICSSON ENGlNE.—Silliman's Jour
nal thus sums up its advantages and .disad
vantages : I. That Ericsson's Hot Air En
gine, as compared with the condensing ma
rine steam engine, in its most economical
operation, has shown the ability to do the
same work with the use of from one-sixth to
l one-third less fuel ; and that if its full esti
! mated power should hereafter be developed
the saving would be 70 per cent. 2. That
j for the same actual power its weight is
!about three times as great as that of the I
I marine engine, and that if its estimated
power should be obtained, its weight would
be as much amg.lo per cent. greater. 3.
That in respect to the space occupied by
the engines and coal, the advantage is deci
dedly in favor of the steam engine. 4.
That the great weight of the engine, in pro
portion to the power developed, must pre
vent, for the present, the realization of a
high speed in the propulsion of •vessels.
At the same time it is to be admitted that
the full estimated power is adequate to the
production of high velocities. Time alone
can decide the question, whether or not this
maximum power is really attainable. 5.
The great weight of the engine and space
occupied by it, in its present form, will, in
all probability, prevent its adoption for the
purposes of inland navigation and railroad
locomotion, in preference to the steam en-

COOKING EGG PLANTS. -- As we shall
now in the course of a few weeks, have this
excellent vegetable in season, we publish in
advance the following mode of cooking the
Egg plant in the South, which we find. in a
monthly agricultural publication, called the
Soil of the South:
Are you fond of stewed oysters? If so,
we will give you a dish equal to the Mobile
1:13y oysters. First, peel the fruit, and slice
it thin, boil it in salt and water until thor
oughly done. Now drain off the water,
cover it with sweet milk, crumble in some
toasted bread and crackers, with pepper,
and such other condiments as the taste may
dictate. Now break in two or three eggs,
and as it simmers over the fire, stir all to
gether ; as soon as the egg begins to harden
the metamorphosis is complete, the oysters
are ready for the table.
To fry the Egg plant, they should be first
peeled and parboiled, then dipped into bat
ter and dropped into boiling lard—taking
"care to season them properly before frying.

TOUCHING CASE OF CONRIO AL AFFECTION.
A touching case, illustrative of conjugal love
occurred at Memphis, Tenn., a few days
since. A man and his wife were coming
up the river, when the husband took sick
and was supposed to have died. When
they arrived at that city, the wife had a cof
fin purchased, and her husband was deposi.
ted in that last home of the dead. Just be
fore the moment of closing the coffin, how
ever, and the final interment of the deceased
the bereaved and agonised wife insisted upon
once more looking upon and embracing the
cold remains of the deceased partner of her
bosom. Whether it was her warm em
brace or returning consciousness, certain it
is that the supposed corpse suddenly evin
ced signs of life; and the proper restoratives
being applied, within twenty-four hours the
invalid was enabled to proceed on . his jour.
ney, with every prospect of a speedy recov
ery, owing his life to the untiring devotion
and love of his true and faithful wife.
Stitonn.E Asti PATatoTtc.—The Potts
' town Ledger, Democratic in politics, but edi
ted by one of nature's noble:nen—an honest
fearless and independent man, who has prin
ciples of his own, a mind to comprehend
them, and the independence to speak out—
thinks it is duo to the Democratic party to
make known its position on the banking
question more explicitly than it has yet done.
It asks : "Is it democratic or not to failor
the chartering of new- banks ? If it is, let
the•anti-bank - tirades cease to ben common
staple in the market among Democratic pa
pers. If it is not, let the Conientions say
so in plain terms. Is the party opposed to
re-chartering old banks ? If it is, let the fact
be asserted. If not, let it be as distinctly
understood."
FEARFUL. DF;ATIL—About (our weeks
since a Mr. Beyington, of Oberlin, 0., was
killed by a stallion. The horse was seized
with a fit of madness caught the man in his
mouth, and threw him into the air. When
he struck the ground, the horse jumped upon,
him with his fore feet; seized him by the
head, and broke his neck short off, severing
the jugular vein with his teeth.
THE NAME OF LOLA MONTEZ.—From the
following announcement of the marriage of
this notorious personage, it will be seen that
she is not deficient in names. If to these
were added . all those by which her friends,
enemies and ndmireis applied to her, we
think even this long list would bo consider
ably increased :
