Snow Storm 117,! were visited On Sunday last by ft very severe snow storm. It commenced about seven o'clock in the morning, and continued without intermisidon until two o'clock at night. The wind, from the beginning of the storm to its ter mination, brew a violent gale from the northeast. Tn some parts of the country we learn that the snots , is drifted to the height of seven or eight Met, but the. average depth did not, we should jinlge, exceed fourteen inches. It is ahnoit needless to say that our people are indulging in their sleighing propensities to the utmost, and our streets arc rendered lively from early morn ing until late at 'night by the merry jingle of the sleigh bells.

This poor fellow, known by the above name to almost every person in town, was on Satur day last sent to prison at Reading, The even ing before he went to the residence of Mr. Win. B. Hertzell, in2outh Third Street,--(Mr. IL being absent at the time) and told Mrs. llertzell that her husband had sent him for a certain pair of boots, and an over-coat, which he described so accurately that the lady at once recognized them ns a portion of Mr. ll.'s wardrobe. Thinking that all was right, she gave him the boots, and would have given him the eclat ; but he.appear ed satisfied. with what he had got, and said he Would call again for the last named garment.— It turned out that it was a bold imposition ; Mr. Hertzel having known nothing at all of the transaction until his return home. Ile was tracked, however, and arrested on Saturday morning at market, where he was doubtless Watching his opportunity to victimize some one .elsc. On his examination before the Alderman it was discovered that he had sold the boots for $1 shortly after getting them. Poor fellow!

Young Ladles• If any young woman waste in trivial amuse ments the prime season for improvement, which is between the age of sixteen and twenty, they hereafter regret bitterly the loss, when they conic to feel themselves inferiorin knowledge to almost every one they converse with ; and above all, if they should ever become mothers, when they feel their inability to direct and assist the Pursuits of their children, they find ignorance a severe mortification and a real evil. .Let this animate their industry, and let not a modest opinion of their capacities be a discouragement to them in their endeavors after' knowledge. A. moderate understanding, with diligent and well direCted appliCation, will go much farther than wore lively, genins, if attended with that de terinined perseverance necessary to success in . . anYthing. Varna Journal. The,December number of this monthly Agri cultural Journal is now on our table. Its con tents aro such as wilthighly interest and benefit the Farmer, and is adapted entirely to their practice and experience. The veterans of the war of 181'2-'l4 are al , ready beginning to get ready to meet in Con vention at Ile scat of our Federal Government, on the approaching anniversary of !acl , ion'c victory at New Orleans. We notice by our ex changes that numerous meetings have been held by the old veterans in different sections of the Union. We can see no just mason why the of ficers and privates, who volunteered in the de fence of their country in the war with Great Bri tain should be excluded from the rights and privileges which justly belong to them in re ceiving extra pay and bounty lands, the same as those who volunteered in the war with Mexico. We know of many, in•onr section of country, who have returned sick and disabled, and are in circumstances, that a donation of this kind would greatly benefit and relieve them; As the time is now drawing close, we think it would be well for the old veterans in our neighborhood to •call a preparatory meeting for the selection of•, a delegate to represent them in the National Convention. We earnestly hope• Congress to do the justice long delayed to the gallant sol diers and the surviving widows of those who have paid the great debt of nature. The ne cessary action will not occupy much dime, as the policy is undoubted, the question has . been fully discussed, the federal treasury is over flowing, and the public domain is constantly squandered for speculative purposes and the benefit of those who have no claim upon, the country. The following is a copy aellio mustorroll of Captain Jduzi Buim's company, tho " North ampton Blues," which marched from this place to Philadelphia, and from thence to Ma: The New Comity Officers. The newly elected County officeis entered upon the duties of their respective officers on Friday last. We have no doubt they will all prove themselves• worthy of the trust reposed in theni by their fellow citizens. The retiring officers carry with them the respect and geed wishes of all who have been compelled to trans act business with them. Their gentlemanly conduct and prompt attention has made them thousands of friends. They retire, in Obedience to the fortune of war, but laden with honor. Beauties of Farming. The Farmer! What a delightful calling is his ! Whitt pleasing associations are connected with his daily toil. What romantic incidents are in terwoven with the busy scenes of every day life —and what pleasing dreams float around his balmy pillow, rendered doubly refreshing by the ncverccasing though pleasant and honorable du ties, and toils of a Farmer's life ! Of all other pursuits, we think the tilling of the soil is the most noble; the most independent. The Lawyer may amass a fortune—the Docter may live in affluence, and the Merchant may mil) a reward for his asiduous application to business ; but after all none of them can enjoy the good things of this life, nor prosper so happy under the ben ig,nantsmiles of Heaven, as the Farmer. lie is independent. The bread of which he subsists, is the product of his daily labor. He feeds not only his own family, but he supplies the world. His verdant, fields, overspread with the green, gentle rollingherhage, and watered, perhaps, by artificial fountains that flow at his command; are the great marts to whiCh the whole world Woks for the substantial elements of our physi cal nature. The Farmer stands at the fountain head—the origin of that healthfubstream which waters and nourishes the whole garden of the human family. If his supplies should fail, there is wailing, and sorrow, and bitterness of misery throughout the land, such as cannot be created by the desolating ravages of war, nor the pesti lence blight of disease ! What cheering associ ations hang around the mind of the Farmer, when his daily toil is over and he is seated in the midst of the family circle ! The Farmer is hap py, and contented. He is God's nobleman ; ho inherited his occupation from the ancient " till ers of the soil," whose toils aro bountifully bless ed by the presence of Omnipotence, and their duties tur in deasuxes by the beneficent smiles of holy angels 'Tis the hardy yeoman ry that form the bone and sinew of Our loved American Republic. Tho ploughman with the bloom of health upon his cheek, and the beam 'of joy in his eye, as he trudges after his team, can rejoice in his heart that lie belongs to that class who built up the glorious temple of Liber ty, and who are still the principal supporters of its well tried pillars. Yes, the tiller of tho soil, as iltere are i. thousand beauties in thy occupa tion, so there are pleasures thy daily reflec tions.. Go.on, then, yo yeomanry Or America, and lot contentment. continue te.encitcle your sunburpt brows. The "Old Soldlers.'r AGRICULTURAL DIEILTINGti.

Whereas the funds of the Society being ap propriated to the payment of bills incurred in 'the erection of additional buildings the past season, and there being a number of bills and premiums yet remaining unpaid, for which means should be provided, therefore Resolved, That a loan of five hundred dollars be made, for the use of the Society. Resolved; That the thanks of the Society be presented to. Robert E. Wrilght, Esq., for the address delivered by him on the occasion of their last annual exhibition, on the 6th of Oc• tober last,tand that he be requested to furnish a copy of said address for publientiiin. Resolved, That the Secretory be requested to furnish Mr. IVright with a copy of the above resolution, On motion adjourned. A. L. IiCTE, Secretary Triumph of Lemming. Mind constitutes the majesty of man—virtu t e his true nobility. The tide of improve:ilea which is now flowing through the land like an other Niagara, is destined to roll on doWn to the latest pos c terity. And it will bear then, on its bosom, our virtues or vices, our glory or . )ur shame, or whatever else we may transmit an inheritance. It then, in a great measure, !ponds upon the preSent, whether the moth of 'mortality, ignorance, and luxury, shall sup at her against the whirlwind of -war, ambi on, corruption, and the remorseless tooth of me.

This estimate is elusive, entirely, of roads only " propoied," d embraces ()Ay those actually under way, most cases, under contract throughout. The tire cost of these long lines of road, will be far from $350,000,000, of which amount sum of $100,000,000, at least, is alt•eady vided for. There are some sixty roads i ded in this estimate, of which the longest is Illinois Central; 804 miles, and the shortest Lebanon Valley, from Reading to Harris. g, Pa., which is 33L miles in length. The ,gliest grade is on the Southwestern Tennes see, and is 90 feet to the mile, and the greatest amount of tunneling is on the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampshire road, in Virginia, which amounts to MUG feet, or over three and a half miles. REMOVING THE STATE CAPITOL.—Tho Penn sylvanian has a forcible article in favor of re moving' the State Capitol from Harrisburg to Philadelphia—and says : " that whatever good reasons at one time existed fur the removal of the Seat of Government to Harrisburg, they have ceased to exist." It says further that " Philadelphia is practically the centre of the State, being most accessible to all parts of it," and is of the opinion that the removal would be reformatory . in its character; by "giving us stronger . and honester legislators:" If th change would bring about this latter effect, we should rejoice to see it made, as there is a very large margin for- improvement in this particu- • lar. The Pennsylvanian- - recommends•that the City should agree to erect the necessary public buildings at its own expense. GEN. CASS AND THE PRESIDENCY. - The De troit Timcs thus talkS of Gen. Cass and the Presidency : " The assumption that Gell. CASS has laid aside all aspirations for the Presidency, is entirely gratuitous on the part of our Wash ington cotetuporary. • Here at home his friends protest against thus coldly dispatching him with a single stroke of the pen, and will, by his consent, bring his name forward in their own titne. We say distinctly that Gen. CASS will be a candidate before the National Convention, and nothing is more calculated to sharpen that determination than' just such paragraphs as the above, and the occasional blows Which he receives from a large portion of the Southern Press. • . , SALE OP ME MAIN LIXE.—Gov. Bigler has caused to be advertised, in accordance with the requirements of last winter's act, that " scaled proposals, for the purchase of the main line, or any division thereof," will be received at the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, up to Monday . , the Ist day of January next. The proposals will state distinctly whether the bid is for the whole line or a part, and for what part. Said proposals will be addressed. to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, under seal, and marked, " Proposals for the Main. Line of the Public Works."... NEV YORK ErxerioN.—lt is ksingular Fact that while for Governor, Clark, :Whig, received 156,774 Votes, and Seytnpur Dem., 156,955, the combined vote of Ullman and Bronson amounts to 156,150, thus showing a curious division of the People into three equal segments. ILLxitss of Gov. Itiamat.—lt is stated in the Pettsburgh Post that Gov. Bigler is again so severely Hills to-be confined to his bed. It is disease of the liver, and appeared suddenly, in an 'aggravated form, on Wednesday Of last week, since when he has been unable to leave his room for a moment. Extraordinary Feats On Tuesday afternoon, Mons. Godard made an extraordinary kialloon asecakion from New York, the following account of which n e find in 'the Sun : AL half•past 3o'clock, accompanied with Mr. Aritta, of Havana, Mons. Deean, Isaac IL Dm edict, and one of the animals belonging to the Hippodrome, fastened iii the car of a parachute, he cut the cords asunder which bound him to earth, and taking his scat on a trapezium—a wooden pole, suspended at each end from the car with ropes, twenty feet long—bounded up at a rapid rate, amid the 'ulnas of the multi tude. When about an eighth of n mile up he cut the parachute loose.from the balloon, and it descended safely to the earth, with, its freight unhurt. Mr. Godard then commenced the performance of his gymnastic feats in the air. At one time lie whirled over and over the pole. of the tripe. slum ; at another time, grasping it with a sin gle hand, lie swung his body to and fro as a school boy would ou a swing. Then again, he appeared to be hanging to it with his chin only, then standing upon it—both hands hold of the ropes—then on one leg, then without any grasp of the lines, and finally as the balloon ascend ed near! out of sight, the daring voyager stool .d, r died over upon flit trapezium, and in ens hung suspended from it, head downwards, with a single foot locked over the °le r '744 re perhaps could not be a greater exhibi t daring than this. Many persons who wit he th feats trembled in their shoes as they saw him pass through his aerial evolutions. Ile, however, restored them to their natriT 4 4. equilibrium of composure on ascending by the ropes of the trapezium, a distance of twenty feet, into the car of his balloon and to the com pany of his passengers. I NTEItrSTING TO CLERGYMEN AND ODD FEL- Lows.—The Rev. F. G. Zeinner, .pastor of a Lutheran Church at Pittsburg, was tried at that place, a few days ago, on a charge of inter fering whittle William Tell Lodge of Odd Fel- lows, while performing ftineral service over the remains of a member of the Order. The Dis patch says : The first second counts of the indictment charged the defendant with interrupting the re ligious exercises of the Odd Fellows, but the court held that the burial service spoken over a fellow being is not a religious exercise, but only one of the incidents attending the funeral.— There was not in existence an act of Assembly making it an offence to interrupt a funeral, and hence it was that the first and'seconetcounts of the indictment, which charged the defendant with acting contrary to the statute, were defec tive. The third count, however, contained more then was sufficient ; it charged the defend ant with interrupting the Odd Fellows, not as an order, but as men, and this was certainly an indictable offence not to bury the dead as every one knew it was,• the person who, sought to ob struct or prevent their interment, was certainly indictable fOr so doing. Sentence was deferred. A FATHER CONVICTED OE TIIII MURDER OF HIS . DAUGHTER.—AIirIiS t of Shelby county, Ohio, was tried last wee and convicted of !c , murder in the first degree. . he charge against him was that about a year ago he caused the death of his own daughter, quite a young girl, murdering her by the slow process ofstarvation exposure, and the most disgusting and fiendish cruelties. Another daughter older j.liair the deceased, It -as witness against him. OatxmvssEs.—There are twenty-eight lines of omnibusses running in the city of New York. The largest company is that of the New York Consolidated Stage Company, who run seven of the prominent lines, and have one undred and eighty-nine stages, giving empityment to ono thousand two hundred and ninety-five horses, two hundred and seventy drivers, and one hundred and thirty-five mechanics. The aver age receipts of this company is from $1,650 to $1,850 per day. The whole number of vehicles run on. all lines in the city is six hundred and eighty-two, giving employment to three hun dred ant sixty-ffve drivers, six hundred and sixty-four mechanics, and four thousand five hundred dnd forty-six horses. Allowing each stage to earn eight donors per day, which is not fur from the average, the receipts on all the lines amount to $4,456 daily. WIIAT CONSTITUTES INTEMPERANCE.—Judge Pearson, in a recent charge to the Grand Jury at Harrisburg, decided that an individual who . Visits from tavern to tavern, drinking five or six times daily,' is emphatically a man of intemper ate habits, and that tavern keepers who sell to such are liable to prosecution under the act pro hibiting the sale of liquors to " men of known intemperate habits." If this construction of the law be correct, there are few tavern keepers but are liable to be prosecuted every day in the week.

A PROLIFIC PEA.—Tho local Editor of the Richmond Enquirer states that ho planted a single Gregon Pea on the 28th Juno last, and one stalk yielded 6,600 peasoerfeetly matured and fit for planting. lie thinks if planted in May it would have yielded 1.1,000, as more thin half did not ripen on account of the frost. From the Maeoupin (Illinois) Statesman. ElghtecieYeitre among the Indians. We were visited, le few days :r;o, by a man by the 1::1311C cfJos: p!I Barney, %Az° says that lie is is sc•ar:•:1 of a son, wizorn he supposes to live somewhez o near Alt mi. Ile made his escape, on the sth 6f last, from the Mat Head Indians near the head of the Flat Head river, in Oregon. He stated that ha has been with this tribe of Indians eighteen years. We listened fur some length of time to his history, many portions of which are truly thrilling. He wac taken prison er in 18:1G, on the Upper Missouri river, while in the employ of a fur company. He is a native of France., and speaks English poorly ; but we give what lie communicated to us as nearly as possible. Ile was with a man by- the name I ., John Robertson, both or whorn were captured. They attempted to defend themselves, and kill ed two of the Indians, but they were overpow ered—there being twenty-five Indians to con tend with. They were secured hand and foot, and placed on ponies, and started to the north ward, and travelled five weeks, when they came to the hunting ground of the tribe, where they were given up to the chief, who shook hands with them, and manifeSted much joy at their capture. They were unbound and confined in a hut, where they were fed, but not allowed to escape. The chief offered them his two-daugh ters if they would marry and remain with the tribe. Finding escape utterly impossible fur the time being, the terms were accepted, and the marriage took place. The fruits of this mar riage were two children, both of which are Still living, a daughter sixteen, and a son, fourteen, both of which he left with the. tribe. Two years ago, Robertson attempted to escape, but, was retaken, scalped, and burned alive, leaving thr'ee children with the tribe. Seven years ago, Barney attempted to escape, but was recaptur ed and would have been put to death but for the interposition of his wife, who was the daughter of the chief. Daririg the time of his captivity, Barney states, that he was engaged with his tribe in three battles—two with the Black Feet, and one with a tribe the name of which we do riot know—in one of which he says over seventy Black Feet were killed. The most of the time of his captivity he lived on the head of the Columbia river, and at times as far up as the head of the Mat Head river: 7 -- During these eighteen years, he saw neither salt, bread, potatoes, coffee, tea or anything of tlie kind, living upon meat of moose, deer, skunk, rattlesnake, turkey, prairie hens, ac.— At the time he made his escape he was near Lake Superior, about sixty miles from a trading post of the American Fur Company. - Tho chief (his father-in-law) was a doctor, and on• the 15th of May left, and while he was gone ; Bar ney succeeded in making all the Lidiiiiis7 dead drunk with the whiskey which had just been received, giving one and a half pint to each In dian. After they were asleep, he took his bow and arrow, tomahawk, pipe, two and a half pounds of tobacco, flint and steel; and two pounds of meat, being all there was in the lint. Ile started and travelled all night, having his dog-along ; the next morning he killed his•dog„ to prevent his returning to give a elite to his traec, About 11 o'clock the same day, when about thirty-five miles, .he was overhauled by his father-in-law's (the chiefs) dog. which he killed with his bow and arrowomd carried the carcass away from the path and concealed himself in the brush ; while he was thus• concealed the chief muttered to ,himself, in his language—" I will pass the mountain, and at the foot of it I will take the left hand." Overhearing. this ; Barney availed himself of this informationt— Following the chief to the foot of the mountain, he found, sure enough, that, he had taken the left hand road, which he ascertained by the tracksorhispony. Ho continued his journey to the east until about two.hours before day break on the next morning, when he sat down, fatigued and hungry ; after daylight he killed lit rattlesnake eight feet four inches in length, it which be roasted a(I ate for breakfast. Ile kept on in the se m direction, when about five o'clock he was erhauled by his brother-in- law's dog. which he killed immediately and pass ed on. On the next day, about five o'clocl he was overhauled by another dog belonging to the tribe, which lie despatched in the same man ner as •the others-; after- which ho. proceeded without any molestation, travelling four days without daring to build a fire only in the day time. Ire was seven weeks travelling before he came to'any tribe of Indians, during which time he had spent one week,iit despair, not travelling or expecting ever to reach a habitation. of whites. • At the end of the above time ho came to a tribe which hp-Calls thi p romahawks. Ile was kindly treated by them. For fear of being taken again, lie assured them that he belonged to the Flat Heads and was in search of two crazy In dians who had made their escape. After askilig some questions in English concerning the " crazy Indians," he departed, and after nine miles travel, came to the Missouri river lle made a raft of logs and crossed over: Traveling due cast, he continued his journey nano weeks, before ho arrived at White Lake, in Minnesota, during ( idi-dWlich time he had subsisted upon game, which he killed with his bow and arrow.. Ho remained there three days, and sold his accoutrements for clothing, and then made his way for this State. He arrived here in the ears.
