The Wiskonsan Gleaner, published at Swavjlle, states that on tho 4th instant a most singular and fatal accident occurred to a Miss Josephine Moorehouse, of that vil lage. It appears that she had called upon a young dentist for the .purpose of having a tooth extracted, As soon as he applied the Hujrnkey' to the tooth, he gave it a very sudden and violent twist, which instead of extracting the tooth dislocated her neck. MedicaJ aid was immediately called in, but it was of no avail, the vital spark had fled. ConsHeriblo excitement existed in the, vi. lage against the dentigj, who had prudently loft the placo by the advice of hid friends."

DANIEL SNYDER, PLEDGED -POB, ELECTED OVER Richard Fruit, 1 PLEDGED AGAINST IT, BY A MAJORITY OP We have the gratification of announcing to our friends tho election, of DANIEL SNYDER,, tho REMOVAL CANDI DATE foi tho Legislature, by over 875 majority, after one of the warmest cunteoied elections over held in tho county. This settles the question of removal, sofar .a3 the people of tho county can act, as both candi dates "were publicly pledged either for or ag&inst it, and the election turned wholly upon the question without any regard to the political parties nf tho county. The legislator can now do no less than givo to tho peoplo that which they havo so strong ly asked for through tho ballot boxes. the election; Has terminated in this county, in the election of Daniei Snyder, the removal can didate, by the triumphant majpfty of g"75 over 'Richard Fruit, tho opposing candidate. As this election settles tho long exciting question of removal in the county, it may not be amiss, to review tho whole campaign, the course pursued by our oppo- well as that of his friends, to sustain him, and thus ascertain tho true grounds upon which ihe election wag decided, that there may be no misunderstanding hereafter upon ike subject. During the pendency of the removal question last winter before the legislature, -the Bgants of Danville, declared not chiy verbally, but in a written state ment presented to the house, that (lie remo val party wero a minority in the county, and that ihey never had, nor never could, elect a member favorable to removal, if he wsb brdhglu forward upon that' question. they went siiU'furlher.and in private con versation with' the membeis declared "that Daniel Snyder, in particular could not bo again elected after having agitated the ques tion in the house, and dared his friends o tho contest at the. fall election, and ono of them, at least, pledging himself to givo up the contest, should ho bo elected, and sub mit to the wishes of tho majority. The friends of removal accepted the challenge. A convention was called ofth friends of removal, who nominated Daniel Snydcr.by acclamation, and ptBaed resolutions, calling upon the removal paity to susfatn him be cause he was an open,avowed, uncomproru ising friend to them, and instructing him to advocate tho removal should he he elected. In addition the bill which Mr. Snyder, had procured lo be past in the house was spread before the people. The opponents of re moval, placed in nomination, Richatd Fruit who publicly pledged himself in a lettor published in the Danville Intelligencer, lo oppose removal by his vote and influence. Thus the question was fairly before the people. Snyder pledged for re noval, and Fruit pledged against it. Under theso cir cumstances, with the flags of removal nd no removal, spread to the breeze, ihe par ties wont into the contest. Our opponents however, were not satisfied with haying the question settled upon its merits alone, but they must need resqrt to all the stratagems, and deceptions whiph they aro so capable of uing when ha.rd pressed, together with their usual, weapons of falsehoods, vituper ation, and ajunder, to divert tho minds of the, people from the main question before them. In this they have, succeeded in some iiislances,.,bul thanks to the stern integrity andjniclligenee.of.the people, the. reaoval patty has won the battleiby-the iridraphant majority o SSi' anu B majority would have been increased upwards of 409, had hot the division question interfered, whScli took from Daniel Snyder above 200 voles and gave them to Richard Fruit.: Tho fact also, that Fruit resided in a removal townslupi and having many strong frionds around him, decreased our vote another hundred, which would have icduccd . tho vole of the opponents of removal to less than one third of tho votes poled in ill a county, had it been decided upon its naked question. Under these circumstances, then we consider the question settled, and tho next legislature can do no less than comply with the voice, of two thirds of the county fairly expressed through the ballot boxes. Never was a party more, completely routed than the Danville faction, their can didate having received a majority in only, five districts out of twenty. We do not wish to rojoico ovor a fallen foe, but wo j cannot but feci cheered onward in our duty. when the inhabitants of the removal interest have rallied around us, with such a unanim ous expression ih favor of the course.we have pursued in this exciting question. We havo been beset by the bloodhounds of the Dan ville faction, with all tho means in their power to destroy us both personally and pecuniary. J, G. Montgomery and Valen iino Best, not satisfied with hurling their anathemas at, us through the medium of the) Intelligencer, have travelled the county, dealing oiil their slanders, at public meet ings, and in the private ear, as if the fate of tli ct county depended upon the destruction of our press and of our character. Daniel Snyder, loo.has come in foi a share of their abuso aiid falsehoods, but the triumphant majority with which he has been re-elected-, is a salvo for hit tho wounds they- have attempted to inflict upon him, and it urges, him forward with a still more vigorous determination to sustain the, rights of' tho many in .opposition to tho. grouping avarice; of the. few aristocrats who surround the Court House in Danvillq. This 'olection' has made them tiemblo on their thrones,, and t,'i next legislature will restore... to the. people the rights which have been, so-long, withheld from them, by bribery, treachery, and deception. XH-UOTlOtli ' - . The annual general election-in this slats-, was held in this state on Tuesday last, ami, from the partial returns, which we have; received, we collect the following. In Luzerne county, II. B Wright and Moses Overfield are elected to ho legisla ture, and the whole democratic- ticket. Dauphin county has elected the whole democratic ticket with the exception of ono member and the Prothonotaryi Cumbeiland,in consequence of a division; among tho democrats, the whole whig tick! et haj been elected.
