"J. CLANCY JONES, Chn'm.
C G. Werrcorr, Sec'y.
QWiugi(oit most respectfully lo the Com
'inittce, the selection of Blooms-urg, the lo
cation Tor the meeting of the next Democratic
State Cunventlun. Our pleasant and beautiful
'-village, which is a very Central Northern Depot,
easy ul access hy meant of public c.onveyanc e.
anil by that time will doubtless possess all the
facilities of the Telt graphic JVtwt H'irM, about
to ba erected here, Jut been long since favorably
named in this connection. Indeed we cannot
conceive of any place belter adapted to that par
ticular purpose, and we are not alone in (his opin
ion.l'or we notice by the proceedings of the lite
Wyoming Couniy Democratic Convention, that
they did u the distinguished honor of resolving

icmr clay.
An attempt or ruber a threat was made in the
senate chamber on Thursday last, to aiaiiiite
Hon. Henry Clay. It pm crazy tel low from
Baltimore. He was of course sooa put in a safe
place.
CO- Messrs. Drj Sou.k and ?icnneiha! have
ratircd from the. Philadelphia Spirit of the Times
and are succeeded by Messrs, SainH and Car-
Tilt L yesming Gazette, has appeared
in a new and neat dress of beautiful small
(type. It lias also underwent another very
important improvement, if not so attrac
live to the vision will, we but trust more
advantageous to its pecuniary interests, we
mean tire adoption of the - Cash-System in
. its business transactions. This is a whole
some reform in the publication line, to
which ve4nuet all come, if we expect to
i live by the reward of our investment of cap
ital and labor.
We ceinmend M:j. Eldred, for the lau
dable stand he has taken in this important
cnterprize, and we wish him and his Ga
zette enrounrument commensurate with
their merits.
' You mav a well, remarks a friend, be
out of the world, as ont of the fashion.
We do not think it safe to run your nose
tv'vj)l in the face of public opinion, for there
. is no doubt you will be much more hurt by
the collision, than your more doughty ap-
ponent. "It is, we think, nothing more nor
' less than sheer vanity, which causes a pe
ouliar cut in the garment, to take with the
public. Unwilling to be what these people
would designate, behind the age, they drain
their pockets, and neglect their heads, in
order to dress the back.
Now, while there are some fashions
which we decidedly like, there are others,
which we just as decidedly dislike. For
instance., we are in favor f garments of
all kinds being cut sufficiently large to give
rase and comfort to the wearer. We 'like
the plan of making a boot wide in the side
it is a sovereign anndote against corns.
But we confess we do not admiro the pres
ent fashion of cutting pantaloons. Many
reason might, very plausibly, be urged
against it, but we forbear, for after all it is a
matter of taste.
The objection we have to these thinge,
is, mainly, because many shallow patrd
individuals encase themselves in a peculiar
ly cut-garment, not because they really
prefer such, but hceausfl it is the, fashion.
Not having brains sufficient to judge for
themselves, they Mindly fallow the style
laid down by firms. Air, women, walk,
and dress, are. with perhr.ps the majority,
mere matters of imt'ation.
There is little or no judgement, displayed
by many, ai to what kinds of dress, figure,
or style suits their carriage or complexion.
Both soxes very often make themselves
look supremely rediculotis, by a wrong
choice of articles for dresBcs. You have
all we doubt not, noticed the effect which
we have just mentioned, in bringing together
the most incongruous materials, and ma
king them in Ac fuihion. Thus fashion
doth make ninnies of us all : and thus the
fair proportion of our bodies is plastered j
j'er with fashionable cut clothes. !
Task.
Well u do remember, and horrrschhut
rcffnj,the mecs and tables, tt cat era J
with which our youthful leathers used
to torture us. From the multiplication ta
ble, up, tilmont ad infinitum, we were for-
ed to lakor. With what melancholy fore-
lodtngs we used to near the old log school
"house, if by any mischance we had neglec
ted our unlucky task. No excuse was
sufficient, and either the ferule or the rod,
made up for that time, the deficiency, or
else we had to stand up in a comer, and
get it during intermission.
What a perfect hatred we bore io those
things. We considered them, indirectly
perhaps, as the destroyers of onr liberty-
the cnrtailers of our hours of plajf the
instruments of our punishment, the hands
of a Tyrannical master; for, although a
rod wis got the largest task, a good boy
was not wholly exempt. They were call
ed a tatk, and a task we assuredly consid
ered thorn ; given as they often were, with
out regard to the age,altainiuents or capaci
ty of the scholar.
Not knowing, nor having been told, of
the advantages resulting from giving tasks
to children, to wit : the improvement of
the memory and its concomitants; wc of
course, never felt or knew its necessity.
Children naturally hate Tusks, and we are
opposed to giving them, as such. The
proper plan is, to give long lessons and
make them be gotbut dont tell them they
must get it at night. Dont call any tiling
a tank, the very name is worm-wood.
There is in this case at least, a great deal
in a name. Teachers should always bring
into service their own experience. They
should k now, there are more ways of kil
ling a Pig than by sticking him. Often and
often have we wept over our task. We
feel for any boy or girl in this situation.
We know the many hours of anguish they
have-caused us, and we are, always were,
and hope we always shall be, opposed to
the system of giving Tanks.
Taxable in Columbia Co. in 1949.
The following is the number of taxablea inhab

By the foregoing table, it will be seen that the

and Bloom township, 631, being only 127 Jess
than Danville and Ihe second District in numeri

ved, that the to'al number of taxable in Colum

3.576, the number requisite for each Representa
tive in the Legislature, icenrding to the ratio a

away, or broken his harness, is scarcely
ever after to be trusted.
Frequently, all these things depend up
on the fidelity of a hostler. In addition to
this, an attentive hostler will draw as
much custom to a Tavern, as an obliging
landlord. Not long since we had occasion

Ven and Women in Bibs.
Among the many wrong things which
can bo done in nising children, is the prac
tice soma people liave, of making men' and
women of them from the cradle. , That
they should early be taught a proper res
pect for themselves, and their stations, and
the people surrounding them, there is 'no
doubt. But what we object to is this.
The fashion of teasing children about liav,
ing a mistress or a lover.
Many things are highly improper (or the
young. An impression is easily made,
and difficult to eradicate, And this very
injudicious impression, being continually
deepened, must be, before the mind is suf
ficiently matured to balance itself, pregnant
with evils, which may result in its ruin.
Thus are made the majority of our good-for-nolhing-novel-reading-wantlo-be-mar-ried-girls.
'It comes of a bad training when
young, giving such a bias to a giddy' and
inexperienced girl as makes her think of
beaux and lovers and intrigue,
f Dead Body Found.
A dead body was found on last Saturday,
on one of the branches of Deer creek, in
i this county, says the Clearfield Dollar,sup-
posed to be the remains of Mrs. Couteret,
the aired French lady, who mysteriously
disappeared from the residence of her son,
in Covington township, last summer, and
which circumstance was noticed in our
pa,per of the time.

fjr-We publish below, and f,r the last time,
the Irospeclus of the New Yrk E'eniiij? post.
We are in the receipt ol its daily exchange, and
find it an excellent paper. It is worthy of pa
tronage.
C 1 tl C UL A It .
The iN'bw Yoik Lvhihuh Post it the oldest
Democratic paper in the state of New York, and
one of Ihe oldest in the United Slates, 'lis past
history, we venture to hope, will justiiy us in so
Ikitiug from our democratic readeis and fellow
laborers, a friendly interest in behall of a journal
which has seeu some service in the cause ol de
mocracy. It is not for in perh.ips to say how far the Even
ing Post is calculated to meet Ihe want to which
we have alluded. Our readeis are doubtless nen
erally acquainted with its literary and political
charjeter. II us sun and inliuence are such as
mee,t wiih their approval, we trust they may find
it in their way to contribute somewhat to its cir
culation. To those unacquainted with ils plan and char
acter, wc beg to submit the following summary ;
The Evening Post will contain:
The Ntws or thk day, which we shall re
port with all the accuracv and fidelity in our
power, including intelligence In m foreign coun
tries, political information, reports ol elections,
and notice ol every occurrence ot general l ri
teiesl.
11. Public Documents of general importance
reports, meinaies, ollicial communications, Uc.
111. Discussions of Political Questions.
These we hope to be able to conduct in a spiiit of
lairness and courtesy, not descending lo personal
ities or appeals to prejudice, vet always without
any basi of persoiwl interest, and with complete
independence. We are democrats in principle:
we have embraced the democratic creed from a
profound conviction of ils truth, because we find
it sti ivine in the main for ohiecls which we cor
dially approve. We hold lo the nre:it doctpnes
ol Iree trade, of simplicity in tne powers ot kov
ernmenf, of equal and sparing legislation, of the
propriety nl brimming public aflaiis as much as
possible within the cognizance and management
of small neighborhoods. We are opposed to the
extension ot slavery, and in lavor ol lis restrict
ions in evury constitutional mode; wc are ene
mies of all monopolies.and of all legislation which
seeks to create jobs for favorite, and lo promote
Ihe interests ol particular clashes. I tie course ol
the Evening Post in regard to these subjects is
well known, and its conductors may say, w nh un
allowable satisfaction, that in the zealous support
of these views for a long series of years, they have
never wavered through tear or through interest.
IV. The Markets and Commercial Information
the proprietors have made arranuetrients for giv
ing wilh accuracy and with the latest revisions
ol person intelligent In such matters.
V. Literary notices, selections from the liter
at ure ol Ihe day.exiracts from our best magazines,
popular and scientific, and a fair proportion ol
that suit of misccllaneou? reading which gives
an entertaining character to a newspaper.
With these tn.terial, we endeavor In make a
paper b"h interesting and useful to the reader.
Our country friends have now gathered in the
principal harvests of the year, and will soon have
more leisure for reading than in Ihe late busy
season. Congress will suon be in sessinn, and
questions of the grrntrst moment will come be
fore it for its discussion. The legislatures of the
several Sla'es will shortlj enter upon their winter
sessions A contemporary record of theve impor
tant discussions, and proceedings, maor uu wiih
indusiry, exactness and candor, must be desired
bv every intelligent man. and to such we recom
mend Ihe examination of the Evening Post.
