Teachers have hitherto somewhat overlooked or

of the age. The time fbr action, concerted and
definite action, has an ived, and W, rust that

means of removing or abating them. It is an
association which every teacher in the county,

• 0 t Deceitful Man
It is a very fortunate circumstance that man.
kind do not' see themselves as others sec them,
and that they live in comparative ignorance of
what is thought and said of them, eV en by their
most intimate associates. Half the world, if it
were aware of what the other half say and think
about it, would.be ashamed to walk the streets
in open day. Igen may flatter themselves as
they Ilease, about the good opinion of others,
but the best of them do not escape censurable
criticism and contemptuous speech from many
whom they call their best friends. All people's
friends me composed of the same material, and
human nature; like some of the !limbo idols, is
apt to be double•faced. Politicians encounter
more of these two sided humans than nlinost
any elnss of the community. It is really "as
tonishing, to FCC how poor devils in human
shape will twist and turn, and lie and fawn, to
get themselves into petty offices : and then, it is
amazingl y diverting to see them turn around
and defame the same individunls they fawned
upon, and lei whose friendly influence they nre I
indebted fur the bread and butter they cat in:
indolence. Those arc weak and timid folks who
complain that they have enemies. A man of.
nerve and independence never fears enemies, I
and would " spile" if he could not encounter'
them. We glory in having a host of enemies, I
for, in the language of a contemporary, we al
ways feel abundantly able to " give them fits,"
if they tread on our corns. A man who hr.:; no
enemies is a natur::l fool, and never has energy
of character enough to engender any opposition.
If all mankind were friends, lrusiness would
stagnate, everything. would he dull and insipid.
and people would become too I:17y to exist. The
happiest moment in a man's life is when helms
trimnphrd over opposition and a man nu "
knows how much theris is in him till he has con
' fronted his bitter enemies. Depend upon it, a
man that is COOd for anything in this world of
selliAness, will always have enemies : but at
1 the same time, if he lives long enough, and
sticks to truth and honor, Ile will eventually
triumph over them all. •
Inducing f c PricO of Maur
The people East arc gettim: , their flour at a re
duced price. by means of ussw iati,m. A nu mb e r
of citizens of Concord, N. 11., (where flour is
selling at €4)2,50 per recently got up a
subscription and sent an agent to the West to
purchase nop bids. Ile returned a few dlys
ago and delivered it to subscriber; at ::•:."5.75 per

tOWIIS in the East. The eiti: , ,ens of Thompson
vill, C'onn., recently united in purchasing two
hundred and fifty-two barrels o f flour from the
manufacturers at RoChester, and it was delivered
at their doors at F',2,2C , per barrel. This was a
saving of two dollars and a half or three dollars
nn a barrel. The " Bread league" in Charles
town, Macs., ha s 1 organized, anil five hun
dred barrels of flour have been subscribed for.
l\vhy cannot scunclhing of this kind be done in
Allentown? Certainly the necessity exists to
as great an extent here as elsewhere. Every
section of the ccuntry, where the price of Flour
is kept up; to the thistry of the poor, will he
driven into this move, if some reform is not cf
fcc•ted in the matter by dealers. Forestalling
the market must case. 111111 h gitimate deal

their business eventually, will compel them to
attempt a change, if they do not wish to see
" Bread Leagues" in every direction, interfering
with their operations. People arc wearied of
paying out all they make for food.

We notice that some or our democratic ex

push along the ball. We consider Mr. Struth

we have in the old'Keystone. In all business

" that what is worth doing at all is worth do

THE I'll Ole LANLE4.—it is stated as a fact
that the public lands of the Vnited States are
rapidly running out. The Washington corres
pondent Of the New York Courier says :
We have nominally 1,400,000 square miles,
that is some eight or ten hundred millions of
acres: but perhaps five-sixths of the entire
quantity is uninhabitable and valueless. Al
i cady the government is unable to sniiply lands
in Minnesota to actual settlers at the maximum
prier of :?-1,25 per acre. We sold and gave
away in 1453—'54, 23;000,000 of acres. We
sold at a nominal sum during the past year
25,000,000 acres, and gave away to Statestmd
huh v Vlnals property enough to make good the
ettorthous quantity of 30,000,000 of acres.
At this rate bow long will our two or three
hundred millions of available public lands sup
ply the demand for the purpose of settlement,
to say nothing of exigencies of the Treasury in
time of writ: or of financial distress. In Minne
sota, which has 55,000 inhabitants, the lands
to be 0414 ed this season have been reduced
frowi four to one million of acres. The lands
'cannot be surveyed as fast Congress gives them
away. This is said to be the cause of the re
ductiort of the quantity in Minnesota. In Utah.
already settled by some 30,000 Mormons, the
baseline has just been established, and pen paps
years must elapse before the government, so
wholly absorbed is it in the work of gratuity,
can furnish a legal title to the lands occupied
by its citizens. •

Court Next IViea-4dd of Diary Schneider.
The November term of our Court will com
mence on Monday next. It will be a session Of
unusual interest. Mary Schneider, who is now
in our Jail on suspicion of having caused the
death of her own child. tithei by poison or suf
focation, kill receive her trial. So far no posi
tive probf of her guilt bas been elicited, but the
circumstantial evidence is of a strong nature.—
She is known to be a NVomen of bad character,
and sometimes treated the little girl with great
cruelty. She told two different stories in. re
gard to the time of the child's death. To the
Jury she said she did not know when the child
died, but found it dead wlen she woke up near
noon ; and to Dr. Hillman she stated that it
died between 0 and 10. o'clock. Wezhere give
the testimony of Drs. Wilhelm, Milian and
Willam T. Reepper, produced at the adjourned
meeting of the Coroner's Jury-:
At the adjourned meeting of the Coroner's
Jury the following testitnony was produced :
Dr. HiUnithz states that . some 3 or 4 weeks ago
he was called to see the Accused. Found her on
the bed coniplaining of pain in her bowels—saw
a vial of laudanum on the bureau, which she
said Dr.:Wilson gave her, but failed to give
relief—left her a few powders and called again
next day—when I gave her powders, I had
sonic suspicio . n that she misrepresented the na
ture of her complaint—when I called second
time T asked her a number of questions with a
view of finding out whether her complaint was
not of a peculiar nature could get no satisfac
tory answer and finally asked her directly, in
plain wordhen Abe confessed it. I then
gave her medicine to suit her case. I became
sati,licd that she was a woman of bad char
acter.
Dr. Tioyqmin rc•rallcd.—Corobora
1A the statement of lb.. Hillman. I found the
following, facts. Dr. Hillman having a sore
hand, called on me to make the dissection of the
body, which i did—first found the child on
back in the bed—the right side of face a blue
red, (lie left side not so much so-La white spot
resembling wax on the left cheek, and so was
the pose, and various parts of the body, found
tvidence on the pillow that the child had been
vomiting. We commenced the examination—
found the abdomen materially enlarged—opened
the breast and abdomen—Examining breast,
nothing unusual wins noticed at first sight—pro
ceeded to exaMine the organ--found both
lungs overfilled with blood, front and bad: . side
of lungs congested—the heart contained no
blood, and sound —prricardium heallthy. Oth
erwise noshing remarkable was found in the
breast. The abdomen we found as follows :
The peritoneum healthy—stomach outside in-
Ilamed—poirrfas sound—bowels filled with
gas, and had a blue color, but ' , nothing particu
larly out of order—bladder filled with urine—
liver, and kidneys perfectly sound--
stomach we lied and took home, also the lungs
and (Mole)/ oni. These I opened in the presence
of Mr. Doepper in his house—opened stomach
first, it was in the evening by candle light—
found the contents to be about one and a half
table spoon full of matter nearly digested—
omens membrane of the stomach was inflamed
—had a number of inflamed spots varying in
size from a three cent piece to a shilling and
some larger—anew membrane injected with
blood, the blood vessels being all full—the
rsophopo: and the pyhwis were much inflamed,
We put these parts into water to see whether
these inflamed spots would not disappear—Dr.
Hillman and myself made another minute ex
amination to-day, and we found the same spots
as they appeared the first day. These spots
were doubtless caused by some poison in the
stomach, very small quantities of metalic poison
may create such spots, vegetable poison will do
the same. It is highly probable that something
calculated to destroy life had been in the
stomach. Spots like those found in the fitie and
exterior of the body are often produced by
opium. Arsenic might produce spots
from those found in the stptirl.t"—persons poi
soned by opintv jab issue froth from the mouth
_anus ii e The child may possibly have been
strangled to death, which produces congestion
of the lungs, but the stomach unquestionably
had something in it that caused the inflamation,
something poisonous and powerful. If the
child's death was caused by strangulation, it
would hardly be reasonable to suppose it could
have been strangled merely by laying on its face
as found, for it being 4 years old would pro
bably= have been able to turn. When I . first
saw the child, as found in bed, judging from its
whole appearance, I believed it,was strangled
to death. 1 know of no disease that would so
suddenly produce such inflamation in the
stomach and cause death in so short a time—
could discover no opium or other poison in the
stomach, though this I regard as no evidence
that poison had not been there—it may have
been absorbed with others matter and passed
olf- -metallic poison would remain and be dis
covered unless in vet:" small quantities.
knew the child's mother about 2 years.
Dr. Ihilinan,rc-called.--T. was called to the
house of Mrs. Snyder about noon on the 17th,
when death of child became known--found
Mary Snyder sitting near the bed, asked her
what was the matter. She said her child was
dead--asked her at what time it :died, and she
answered between 9 and 10 o'clock that morn
ing. I then spoke a few words with her, look
ed at the child and left : went to John Huth
and told him to gn . for the Coroner. Went up
home ; knoWing that a post mcirtem examina
tion would have to be made, I called on Dr. Wil
helm to assist, as I had a sore hand. Dr. W.
and myself went down about three o'clock in
the afternoon. Mr. Borhek and myself went
into the house ; were told that Mary was up
Stairs—we. went up and found her lying down
sound asleep. I shook her and woke her up ;
she complained of headache, and said she had
been sittings up till near twelve o'clock last
night sewing. The vial of laudanum already
spoke of, which I found on the bureau in Mary's
room several weeks back, contained about half
an would doubtless have been enough
to destroy the child's life—to produce the.death
of such a child might require a drachm of pure
laudanum. Arsenic has a tendency to produce
vacuation of the bowels. All things taken into
considetation, I believe the inflamed spots in
the stomach were produced by some vegetable
poison, perhaps opium. Arsenic is more likely
to rtmain in the stomach, and would be found
in it in material quantities.; opium or laudanum
kill become absorbed in other matter and pass
off. I know of no disease that would produce
such a death—saw nothing of the stool which
the child's mother spoke of ns having passed
from the child at midnight preceeding its
death. •
Roepper, qffirtned. 7 -Last Wednes
day evening, Drs. Hillman and Wilhelm called
on me and brought a child's stomach and some
bowels, and requested to examine whether
they contained poison. They opened stomach
and emptied contents into a vial which I have
at home. In the course of that night, the fol
lowing day and yesterday, I examined the con
tents of stomach, first for arsenic and lauda
num or opium, as the; two poisons most likely
to be used—did not succeed in finding either ;
the contents of stomach were a mixture of sli
my matter, and apparently, particles of diges
ted apple—it was common contents of stomach.
I do not consider my failure to discover poison,
as conclusive that there had been none in the
stomach--the gastric juice will digest, and
may have decompsed vrArcitab/c poison, which
may readily account for its absence when the
tests were applied.
Thnnkegivlng Day,
Governor Pollock has issued a Thanksgiv

and the Giver of " every good and perfect gift,"
with a humble acknolledgement of our con
stant dependence upon the providence of Him,
" whO rules in the army of Heaven and among
the children of men," is alike the duty and the
privilege of a free and• Christian people.
" lle has crowned the past year with his
goodness, and caused our paths to drop with
fatness." lie has blessed our country with
peace. The Union of the -States—our free in

been continued and preserved. The great in
terests of education, morality and religion
have been encouraged and promoted—science
and art advanced—industry rewarded—and
the moral and physical condition of the people
improved.
The goodness of God has signally blessed our
Commonwealth. War with its desolation—
famine and pestilence with their horrors, have
not been permitted to come near us : and
whilst the ravages of disease and death have af
flicted the citizens of, other States, we have en
joyed the blessings of health and unusual pros

the husbandman ; and, surrounded by the
abundant fruits of autumn, he rejoices in the
rich rewards of his toil. " The pastures are
clothed with flocks—the valleys also are cover
ed over with corn—they shout for joy—they
also sing."
Acknowledging with grateful hearts these
manifold blessings of a beneficent Providence,
we should " offer unto God thanksgiving, and
pay our vows unto the Most High."

man, in this borough, a few days ago, was

LATI FOREIGII News.—Another arrival from
almond, brings advices frefn the seat of war
one xtreck later. No important engagement has
taken place between the contending partieS
but evils of war are spreading over a more ex
ended sphere. The fleets of the' Allies being
liberated by the destruction of tate Russian ves
sels at' Sebastopol, are cruising round seeking
for an opportunity of burning and destroying
the property of the enemy on land and sea. It
is thought that Odessa, a large and important
city, wilt be an early object of attack.
Perekop has been threatened by the allied
forces, but their' advance is checked for the
present. A French.force is gathering on the
Danube A fleet of the allied vessels is before
Odessa, preparing to commence an immediate
bombardment. Ten thousand men are employ
ed in making a road from Balaklava to the al
lied camp at Sebastopol. A British fleet has
been sent to Naples. During 'the three weeks
preceding the fall of Sebastopol, the Russian
lOsses were over 32.000 men,. exclusive of
deaths by disease. A battle has been fought in
Asia by the Russians, under Mouravieff, and
thc'Turks, under Ali Pasha, in which the latter .
was himself taken prisoner, and had 300 men
killed. It seems to have been a cavalry fight.
Kars still held out, but the garrison was re
duced to great extremity, and Omar Pasha was
advancing from Batoum to attempt to raise the
siege. At Sweaborg the Russians were actively
repairing the fortifications. Nineteen Russian
merchant vessels have been captured off the
coast. of Finland, and ten more burned at the
mouth cif the Sulis. An alliance bet wcen
Prince Napoleon and the Princess Royal of Eng
land is rumored. It is announced that the
Danish government has invited all the maritime
powers, including the 'United States, to meet
in Congress at Copenhagen to settle the Sound
Dues. In Greece the ministry have resigned
and a new cabinet been formed.
DISEASM AMONGST CATTLE.--Some time since,
William Stavely, of Bucks county, bought a
lot of young calves, some ninety in number,
from Nev; .Jersey. Two or three weeks ago, a
disease broke out amongst them, which carried
off a number before the nature of it could .be
discovered. Mr. Sinsely had sonic of them ex
amined afler death, when the cause appeared to
be a collection of small worms in the windpipe
and lungs. In some of the cases, the lungs
were very much diseased and hardened, making
respiration almost impossible. It has been
found that a dose of turpentine, about a table
spoonful, adminis!ored as, soon as the decease
appeared, is an elli2ctual remedy, affording al
most-immedatc relief in the worst cases.
[r7 Dr. L. B. Watunr, of New York., has pre

to the taste as any beverage, does not produce
nausea, griping, nor leave the bowels costive,
three indisputable virtues of a Family Physic,
most certainly, and, we believe, unknown
wit' all other preparations. Its action upon
the system is said to be that of a good Family
Physic and superior alternative. We believe
it is gaining in popularity very fast, not only
with families, but with a large portion of phy
sicians. See advertisement.

CONSUMPTION' or• TOE 130 Dr.—Tr no carbon,
in the shape of food is taken into the stomach,
for the. oxygen to act upon, it will consume the
body itself. Without food, the body loses daily
one fourteenth of its weight is summer, and
onedwelfth in winter. If food is continuously
withheld, a person ordinarily starves to death
in fourteen days, when they have lost two fifths
of their whole weight. From this it appears,
that if life could be preserved, the whole mat
ter of the system would be consumed in thirty
days.
It farther shows, that oxygen that consumes
the carbon in food, and produces heat in the
system, if unprovided with other carbon, will
consume the body itself.

The second Monday in November, has ,
been assigned for the trial of Louis BAKIM, who.
stands indicted as the principal in the murder
of Bill Poole. Turner and McLaughlin, charg
ed as-accessories,lbe tried separately, after
the conclusion of Baker's trial.
lAn exchange says, the man that would
systematically and wilfully set about cheating
the printer, would commit highway robbery ow
a crying baby and would rob it of its• ginger
bread—rob a church of its counterfeit pennies—
lick the butter off a blind nigger's last " flit
ter,"—pawn his grandmother's specks for a
drink of whiskey—steal acorns from a blind
sow, and take clothes from a scarecrow to ,
make a respectable appearance in society.
1:1:71t is estimated that it costs more to dress
any one of 5,000 ladies in New-York and Brook—
lyn than to build a comfortable country church
—say $20,500 ;—more to dress any ten of 5,000'
others there, than to buy a handsome brown'
stone house, pretty well up townsay 810,000:.
And yet most of these same dressy dames pay
for their keeping, and many a poor fellow, who,
if a bachelor, would go in , a threadbare suit,.
sports broad-cloth and fine linen, because he is
in partnership with one of them.
SALT YOUR CRUD:M.—In building a chim
ney put a quantity of salt in the mortar with ,
which the inner course of bricks arc to be laid.-
The effect will be that there never will be any
accumulation of soot in the chimney. This
philosophy is thus stated ; the salt in the por
tion of mortar which is exposed, absorbs mois
ture every damp day. The soot thus becom
ing damp, falls down to the fireplace. This
appears to be an English discovery. It is used
with success in Canada.
LAttnnAntE.--The Albany Argus tells a sto..
ry of a * man buying oats, a few days
since, who gave a fifty dollar bill in mistake
for a five. On discovering the blunder, and'
hastening to have it rectified, ho found the re
cipient of it deliberately rubbing out the cipher
on the bill in order to make his cash account
square with his funds. An exchange of • a
"five" for a " fifty" saved the latter from Air
ther defacement, and fully satisfied both par
ties.
