THE LITE 'ELECTION;
Tlio Ami Removal and Dj,fion party.in
this county, having been bcMn, rouled.and
Uticd up, are, now endeavoring to create an
impression that there was no fair test upon
the question: To proyo this, they assurno
as many different positions ftftivs as many
reasons for flieir not eueceejhng, as there
were leaders and interests in the party,
One portion claim that Fruit was defeated
becauso he. pledged himself against division
another, because the pooplo would not
believe he was opposed to division ahoth
or because ALL the division men did not
cote "or him, and a thousand other as ridic
mI us assertions as these, while the only
TRUE REASON of his defeat was.that he
WAS OPPOSED TO REMOVAL. This
is evident to any one at all acquainted in
the county. But the mopt absurd and fool
ish assertion of all ia made by thp Berwick
Sentinel; ''that the jipision men gener
ally vttd. for Snyder " ,Npw we chal
lange the Berwick Sentinel lo give the
haines of more than twenty who preferred
B division before a removal, tJut voted for
Snyder, while some hundred of removal
men voted against him,somo out of person
al friendship for Fruit, and others through
fear of the expense attending the erection of
new buildings. Of these were a largo pro
portion of the voted given for Fruit in Mflliti
and nearly the iole of thosn in Roaring-
mrftft luinnren voip. ivncrn men were
the division men who voted foi Snyder?
Were they injthe Fishingcreek townshipsT
Not, a man. They had unanimously remon
strated against it, and now i unanimously
vote against it. Were they in Mifflin and
Paxton? No. You cannot get thirty
nr.mes for division in preference to removal
in bolfi those districts, and yet tuey gave
111 votes against Snyder. Were they in
Briercreek? Moat certainly not, for a ma
jonty of that township did lemonstrste a
gainst division last winter, and now there
were 89 votes for Fruit, and fifty our more
taken from Snyder and given to Fruit would
have given him tlio majority. Did any of
those wno prefer, a removal to n division in
that township vote for Fruilt Who believes
it? No one. Then where art the division
men that voted for Snvder? Not to be
found any where but in the fertile imagina
tion of the Editors of tho Berwick Sentinel,
xcept some twenty in and about Berwick,
we Know mat anyaer e mo majority is a
knock down argument for tho division and
anli removal parly, but we can assure them,
that had the candidate resided in either of
the lower townships except Madison, and
the division question out of the way, and
110 pipe iaying in 'Danville, Snydei'a ma
Jotity would have been increased at least
300 if not 800, for then the question ol
xemoval or no removal would have been
'fairly up.without tho influence of neighbor
Hood friendship or tho division to operato
against the removal candidate, Petitions
Ka'veVwayrshown' two to ono in favor of
removal, and the late election proves it con
clusively. There is no backing out. Such
is the fact and no one in honesty can deny
it.

For s vera, days, rumors hail been afloat,
that Bears had been seen in Homlock and
Mount Pleasant townships within two or
three miles of this village, and on Monday
morning last the inhabitants were thrown
into confusion, by the cry ol 'Bears. Guns
were loaded and pursuit made by men and
dogs, within an hour,tho company returned
with on old Bear and two cubs, all of which
wero killed within half a mile of our usu
ally quiet town. We learn that several
Bears have been seen on the borders ol
Fishing creek far below their usual haunts,
within a few weeks pasjt, and that scvornl
have been killed. What has induced them
to roam from their retreat on North Moun

ed llietn to -resort to the settlements, for

Jl Story that make us laugh.-Caming
down the river on that pleasant am! well
officered boat, the Pathfinder, we were lold
an excellent story at least so it seemed io
us. Joel Green, when commanding an
other boat, had on board, a dry, humorous
pilot, named Pennington. A deck passen
ger having drowned his cares, if hi had
any to drown, in 'bald face' whiskey quietly
laid down to sleep, and as quiellj died.
In an huui or so after, it was discovered
that he was dead, tho boat landed at a wood
yard, and ihe deluuct toper was deposited
in mi extempore coffin, uud shovelled away.
Pennington looked and shook his head,
perhaps in discontent with all liquor, be
cause it had killed off otic lover of it in this
abrupt manner perhaps dissatisfied with
his hasty interment.

" 'I lie laws of life and mortality between
the sexes are very remar.kable. iThey may i
be slated thus :
" 1. In iho present condition of tho whim
population of ihe United Slates, the number
of females butn per annum is about tivclvo
thousand less than mates. 1 his determined
of itself thai polygamy is not a natural con
dition of man, and that' the., laws Of nature
and religion are the same that one man
shall ho ihe husband of one-woman.
"2. At twenty yearn of ago. the females
exceed (he males. This proven that, between
birth and twenty, mortality among boys is
much greatet than among girls,
"3. 1'rom twenty to forty, tho number
of men much exceed that of women, which
shows that this is the period of greatest
mortality among women, .
" 4. From forty to seventy, Ihe-difTerence
rapidly diminishes', the females, as in tho
early pari of life, gaining on the males.
This shows, that' tills is tho period of great
est danger, and'exposure to ihph the least
to womn.i,
"5 From seventy onwards, the women
outnumber the men. This shows, conclu
sively, that relatively. speaking, in compari
son with men, tho healthiest period of fe
male life is the close of it. Absolutely,
howevei, no period to either sex, is so heal
thy as that of youth, tlte blooming period of
boyhood and girlhood.
" The above deductions of statistical ta
bles correspond with every day observations
of human life.
" Women are exposed to peculiar haz
ards in the middle of life; but in the long
run, far She largest part of exposure, danger
and risk, in civilized nations, fall on men in
the active periods of life."
Bankrupts and the Bankrupt Law. It
i :i fact, which a reference to ihe records of
the District Couits of the Utiiicd Slates for
the Easjnru and Western Districts of Pcim
sylyania will lolly establish, that the appli
cations for relief by the Bankrupt law of
the United Stales, have been much less iis
number, tljan in any statu in the1 Union
wnh tlie same population. In New York,
tlio number of persons declared bankrupt
have been thrice greater than in Pennsylva
nia. In Maine, with not one fourth of our
population, the Bankrupt law has been en
forced in nearly three thousand cases, if
nowfpapeV reports are to be relied upon.
In the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,tho
cases amount to over cine thousand.
The effect of the Bankrupt law in Phila
delphia, hag beqn extensively beneficial.
CuniproniihCB with creditors obstinate and
unyielding before the law, have been very
fiequeut. The general influence of the law,
over ihtf dealings .ir,d transactions of men
in business; has been wholesome and use
ful. If the law is continued, it will work 11
mosi faiurablu alteration in all credit trans
actions. But will it be continued!
This is a most important question to tli 9
community; and it is still more important 10
many who have hitherto hesitated to avail
themselves of ihe provisions of the law.
At present the debtor is exempted by tho
laws of Pennsylvania from iirrest; and if
he is insolvent, and without property, he
cannot be disturbed by his creditors. But
in what situation is he as to the prosecution
of future business? All the acquisitions of
his industry and enterprise will belong to
his creditors. The property he may obtain
will be subject to execution, and 'thus he
remains, unless released by tho Uuykrupt
Law, at the mercy of his creditors. U. S.
