STAR OF THE NORTH.
R. W. WEAVER EDITOR.
Blooauburn, Thursday, Oct. 31, 1850.
IS ALL THIS NOT SO f
In these days wo alternately record dis
asters by flood and destruction by fire. An
evil spirit seems to have a temporary reign
in this elemental war. The business of
boatmen is prostrated, atrl Ims for the whole
summer been a ruinous one. Men who
have toiled through tho live long day noath
n scorching sun, that burnt them until their
own children hardly knew them ; or who
have trudged and slaved through stormy
night in drenched clothes, are now coming
home with shattered constitutions and emp
ty purses in too many.cases.
And who gets up panics for these people
and for protection to them ? Who counts
lheirJon.esiiii.big sums and runs around
with petitions to Congress for their benefit ?
t\Vho gets up a mania for them I If they
were rich iron-mongers who rolled in their
wealth, sported their purple and fine linen,
and enjoyed their luxurious feasts with the
/est of princes, we should no doubt find ap
plications in Congress for their protection.
For when the iron master's business fails
.to be profitable, because it has been too
good and the maikei is overstocked ; the
whole country is agitated by his wild la
mentations : and the circumstance is prated
of by demagogues as a serious and sore na
tional calamnity. Then it is a "rascally,
I.oco-foco, free-trade tariff" which has ru
ined the country. But when, the boatman
comes home with the seeds of disease and
death sown in his frame, penniless and
nerveless, unfit for labor or business—no
fenatics lament his loss and ruin. If he
should petition to Congress for protection or
a pension, it would be said he was quite a
lunatic.
Again, when the flood sweeps away the
. crop neath the feet of the industrious hus
bandtnan, or when the fire destroys the
home over his head, the legislation of the
country is not invoked for his aid, nor the
whole machinery of government turned to
work for him alone. His loss is not attribu
ted to bad laws, but to the fate of life aod
"business accidents. His energy and indus
try are left to be his only shield against such
. disasters.
Bui on the other hand, the iron monger's
pei sioucd minions invoke all the spirits of
• the upper ami nelheimost world to sustain
"him. He is girt about with the special boun
jy of the government, and hedged around
by every appliance of legal protection and
pensions. If he fails it is the fault of uo ac
cident or imprudence in business, and
straightway the government with bountiful
hand makes up his losses. Ile has the law
to depend upon to enrich him, while the far
mer and the boatman must trust to their toil
and energy alone. He is presumed to bo a
public benefactor, whom it is the duty of
government to protect, while the man of
toil is left to struggle unaided and alone with
poverty and ill omened fate. Is all this not
so I
Anoiker Storm.
On last Fsiday, Saturday and Sunday a
great deal of rain fell in this neighborhood,
and the streams rose to a height that threat
ened lire and properly. Fishingcreek ren--
dered the main road above Orangevilla im
passible on Sunday ; nnd the Susquehanna
was very high on Monday evening.
A'short distance above Berwick, tho in
cessant fall of rain started tho slide of a
sand-hill into the canal, filling die whola
bed with sand and thus preventing the trans
portation of the needful fuel from the Lu
zerne mines. Tho small streams which
coine into the canal have kept up the water
here for navigation, until this lime, and Su
pervisor Saylor has put on a strong force of
hands to draw out the sand at the hill slide.
The coal-merchants have lant their hands to
aid on the work, for they are naturally eager
-to have some more boating this season.
Coal brings good prices, and freight is also
bigh. The canal will bo in fait order in a
day or two Irom ho re .to the head of naviga
lion.
Lightning and Flr.
In the thunder itorm of last Saturday
night, the barn of Mr. Jacob Sechler, a few
miles above Danville, was struck by light
ning, and burnt to the ground. drain to the
amount of some 1500 bushels was in the
barn, and destroyed with it. The loss of Mr.
Secliler was partly covered by insurance,
but hia loss over and above the insurance
will be soma 81500.
The Rett Speaker.
The Lycoming Gazette names Genets'
Drindlo of I.ycoming for the next Speaket
in the House of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture. He will po doubt receive a generous
support from the Democratic members of the
/North. The Doylostown Independent Demo
.crat suggests the name of John Cessna Esq.
.of Bradford county, who is also a reliable
Democrat, and would make an excellent
-Speaker. We have then too heard John S.
Rhey Esq. of Armstrong mentioned in this
connection, and hia election would certainly
.do credit to the Democratic party.
CALIFORNIA.— PIaces of amusement are al
rapst more abundant at San Franc.'sco than
gold. The "huoters" can visit Robln-'on It
Evards Dramatic Museum, Rowe'a Circus
the Italian Theatre or Dr. Colyer's Model.
Artists.
tgr The Carbondale Democrat says that
the burnt district of that town is fast being
rebuilt- •
tar There is a proposition on'foot to gat
Bp a lire eompanv in Danville * '*
A Sensible Review.
The Carbondalt Democrat, whose editor is
now one of the Luierne members to the
next legislature, indulges in the following
sensible reflections in speaking of the elec
tion this fall:
"In this Congressional District seems to
exist the only drawback to the general sal
sfaction with which the Democracy will
iriew the result. The returns here gives ev
idence to that distraction in our ranks which
has so often defes'.ed portions of our tioket.
It is a part of the same, and always inexcu
sable strife, v;hich defeated our Candidates
for Congress and Prothoriolary in 1846, our
Candidate for Treasurer, and nearly our
S'nerifl in 1847, our Candidates for Congress.
Assembly and Register and Recorder in 1848
which has now defeated our candidate for
Congress and Sheriff. It iB wrong trom be
ginning to end.
Private feelings and selfish ends may be
answered by such a course, but public inter
ests and political good faith are prostrated.
The result is ever gratifying to those that
wish the defeat of our Democratic princi
ples, and to them only."
Meeting of the Commissioners.
The next official meeting of our county
Commissioners will be on Tuesday the sih
of November next. Mr. John Staley ot
Giecnwood, tho newly elected Commission
er, will then be. ihMalled, and Mr. Lake of
Anthony will retire from the Board by the
expiration of his official term. Mr. Staley is
a man of strong practical mind, just such as
we may reasonably expect to fill his office
with credit to himself and profit to the coun
ty. ~,,,
A READING ROOM has been opened at Lew
isburg for the benefit of its newsmongers
and litrratti. How long until our town shall
boast of a similar mark of progression ? Tho
terms of the room at Lewisburg are as fol
lows
To the Ist of April next, 81,50; for one
week, 25 cents. Single visits, (to be al
'owed only when it will not incommode pa
ttons.) 5 cents. All payments to be in ad
vance. Subscribers removing from town, to
have the right to dispose of their interest ;
and patrons to have the privilege of introdu
cing strangers as visiters, for a terra not ex
ceeding one week.
I"3T In Columbiana county, Ohio, the
Pemocratic candidate for Representative im
mediately upon his nomination declared
himself opposed'to all existing or contempla
ted paper money banks. The letter was
kept at the editorial head of the leading pa
per in the county until the election, and the
result was a decisive Demcoratic triumph in
the election of the member.
I'nited Mate Senator.
The Carlisle Volunteer, the Mountain Sen
tinel, the Heading Gazette and the Berks
County Press are out in strotig terms for
Hon. Jeremiah S. Black of Somerset for the
next United Slates Senator. We vote for
him with a hearty good will.
C7*lt is at last decided that Curtis, the
Democraiic candidate is elected to Congress
in the Erie district, to succeed Judge Thomp
son. This makes a Democratic not gain of
six in the congressional delegation of this
state.
THE TEETH.— Toothache is not the only
inconvenience and bad consequence of de
cayed teeth. Foul breath and disease often
result from the same cause. Beside this,
noibittJS adds so much to the good appear
agceot any person as fair teeth. So reader,
if you chance to be in Light Street or its vi
cinity you can dp no better than call upon
Mr. C C. MARR, and exchange your old
teeth for new—the hollow oilis lorthe whole
—the black ones for thefairand pearly white.
He is a deserving young man of eP e W Bn d
nerve, and will do the job in scientifio style.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.— We learn from the
Mincrsville Bulletin, tkat Lcbbeus|W. Hugh
os, Son of Mr. Edward Hughes, of that bor
ough, met with an almost fatal accident, on
Saturday evetiing last, by falling from a Bhed
in the rear of Mr. Weaver's Hotel, badly
fracturing his left arm, and cutting a severe
gash in the back of his head. The height
from which he fell, was about 16 feet, and
his escape from instant death wus truly mi
raculous. We are happy to stale, he is now
in a fair way of speedy recovery.
A FEMALE FIOIIT.— We understand that a
regular knock-down occurred in Centre
Street, Pottsville, on Saturday evening last,
between two of the softer sex. They fought
for a considerable length of time, with no
other weapons save those with which nature
had provided them. No arrests were made.
"The Greon Eyed Monster" we learn, was
the originator of the affray.
tW We learn (bat the thief who broke in
to Mr. F.ggert's watch-maker shop, in Ber
wick, and stole all of his tools, has been ar
rested, and is now confined in the Lancas
ter Jail. He was arrested for robbing a Cloth
ing Store in Marietta.
Ur A gatherer of queer statistics says
that of 158 pretty women whom he met in
the streets of a city in a given time, 100
were sucking their parasol handles.
OF* The United States Commissioner,
Stetson, at Cincinatti, resigned his office on
the passage of the fugitive slave law.
E7* The young man that takes his tea at
the pump ar.d lodges against the handle has
gone south to shove his coat up the spout.
THE M. E. Church in Danville has been
holding an interesting protracted meeting.
We leant that a nnmoer have united with
the church.

Sewing lor the Greeks.
BT PEREGRINE PIPS.
The eccentric John Randolph one day
called at a house where he met a herd of
dirty and ragged children scampering about
the premises, and the lady of the mansioc
busily engaged with the needle. He in
quired what so intently engagod her, and
she answergjj that she was "sewing for the
Greeks." ''Yes madam" said the sarcastic
humorist, "I see, I see. I met them at your
door."
Since I heard this little incident related,
whenever I see a lady of ostentatious piety
in public, whose incontrollable temper
drives happiness from her home, and hus
band—alas thinks 1, you are sewing for the
Greeks.
When I see a lady spend her time at the
public sewing societies and associations of
charity, who does not stick a single hem or
her own dress, deluded woman, thinks I.
you are sewing for the Greeks.
When I see a young woman cry over yel
low covered novels until midnight, and
drum incessantly upon her piano from Mon
day morning until Saturday night, while she
cannot tell how the apple ever gets into the
dumpling—mistaken lady, thinks I, she too
is sewing for the Greeks.
When I see a woman sport the gaudiest
finery of silk and sstin dreae, mud .In purplm
and fine linon every day, while her husband
feels that the income of his toil cannot sup
port her extravagance, and he himself wears
a poor threadbare, torn and dirty coat—poor
woman, thinks I, she sews too little for her
household and too mnch for the Greeks.
When I see a young lady flit along the
street a half dozen times in a day retailing
the gossip of tl>.6 village, while her mother
is doing the dirty drudgery of household
work st hoine—poor girl, thinks 1, you spin
too much for the Greeks.
BERWICK, Pa. Oct. 28, 1850.
SENTENCE OF AN ABOLITIONIST.—Two men,
named Mcßride and Crooke, were recently
arre.-t.-d at Greensboro', North Carolina, on
the charge of circulating an abolition pam
phle', going to charge the slaveholders with
living in daily violation of the the ten com
mandments. The trial took place last week,
when Mcßride was declared guilty, and
Crooke was acquitted. Mc Bride was sen
tenced to one year's imprisonment, to stand
in the pillory one hour, and to receive twen
ty lashes. He appealed to the Supreme
Court.
EFFECT OF FANATICISM. —Judson Hutchin
son, of the Hutchinson farcily of singers, ar
rived at the Insane Hospital st Worcester on
Tuesday, in a state of insanity. The Spy
says the malady was greatly aggravated, if
not originally induced by excitement in re
gard to the fugitive slave law. Isanity is
said to be hereditary iu the family. The ab
olition zeal which they so largely shared
rather stimulated this natural tendency into
active operation, leading to the result above
stated.
Jenny Lind has requested Barnura, by
note, to reduce trie price of the tickets to
her Concerts, at Tripler Hali, and lie has ac
cordingly announced the following prices to
the entire first lloor and seccmd circle at $3
each; the row in the first cinrc at $5, and
all other seats in the same circle S4 each,
The size of the Hall is so great, that with
the reduced prices the receipts of Concerts
when the house is filled will be from ten to
fourteen thousand dollars.
XT A Precocious Couple. —One of tho cen
sus takers for Greene county, Mr. McCoy,
says the Xenia (Ohio) Torchlight, informs
us of an instance of precocity that came un"
der his obser.ation in the eastern part of that
county, which we venture to say is unparal
leled in this latitudo. The parties are a mar
ried couple, the husband 18, and the wife 16.
They have been married about four years,
and have twochildren—one of which is over
three years of age, and the other over one!
IT Accident on the Pottsville Railroad. —On
Tuesday of last week as the engine Sanato
ga was on her way to the wood station tit
Palo Alto, Mr. Joseph Ladde, the engineer
of the Missouri, who was going a short dis
tance with it, in jumping to the ground, ac
cidentally tripped, and was thrown violently
on the ground, with one of his legs on the
track, when the engine passed ovet and se
verely mashed it just above the ankle. The
leg had to be amputated at the knee.
FIRE-DAMP EXPLOSION.— We are sorry to
learn that a young Scotchman, named Wal
ter Snyder, in the employment of Bowman,
Moyer ft Richardson, was severely burnt by
the explosion of fire-damp, whilst decending
the slope at Reinhart's Run, on Monday
morning last, to commence his day's work.
Every particle of clothing on his body wa
burnt to a crisp. He ha* received muc)i in
jury, and is not yet entirely out (>f danger,
but will doubtless recover, unless mortifica
tion takes place.— Tamotpia, Legion.
Oca WATER WORKS. —This piece of enter
prise is now completed and in a perfect state
of operation. The water is conveyed into
almost every yard in the borough, and ap
pears to give general satisfaction. Too much
praise cannot be awarded this Company, af
ter battling it through so nobly, and contend
ing with so many obstacles.— Berwick Tele
graph.
XW The reply Barnum received from Cin
cinnati, when he wrote to ask whether there
were a house there large enough to accom
modate a Jenny Lind audience, ia chaiacter
illic of American energy. It was, that if DO
house could be found, one could be built *
ET" Governor Johnston has issued a pro
clamation appointing Thursday the 12th of
November noxt as a day of Thanksgiving
in this State*
The New Court House.
We find the following description of the
new Poitaville Court House, ir. the Miners'
Journal:
"The building measures 123 by 67 feet.
On the first floor, above ground level, are of
fices, in the following order respectively on
each side from the main entrance :—County
Commissioner, Recorder, Sheriff's office, and
county Treasurer, Prothonotary, Register,
Arbitration Room, and Clerk of the Orphan's
Conrt. Eight in all, with 6 fire-proof vaults.
There are four entrances to this story, one
at each end, and likewise at the sides. The
Court Room, on the second floor, measures on
the inside, clear 824 by 54 feet; 31 fee!
high and is well lighted. Back of this is a 7
feet passage, upon which open two Jury
Rooms and the Judge's Library—this story is
11 feet high—above which ore the Grand and
Traverse Jury Rooms and a Witness Room.
The whole building will be heated by three
furnaces.
The walls are of brick, over 20 inches
thick on the first story, and 18 inches above.
All the partition walls are of brick. The
Steeple measures from its base on the square
of the building to the top of the spire over 60
feet, 10 feet in diameter. It is now to have
a large Clock, and a Bell weighing 1628 lbs
already bought and on the way. The structure
is one of the most substantial in the State.
Its finish is plain but neat, the object being
to make % convenient and substantial Build
ing rathef than % display of ornamental ar
chitecture. In point of location it cannot be
surpassed—it stands on a beautiful elevation
at the North end of the Borough, and over
looks the whole town with a splendid view
on evety side,"
FDOITIVC SI.AVES.— A party of thirteen fu
gitive slaves, passed through Tamaqua,
Schuylkill county, last Friday, en-route for
Canada.—The next day they were followed
by two individuals, who, engaging the assis
tance of the Constable, followed on in their
pursuit. The pursuers succeeded in overta
king the slaves at Wilkesbarre ; but owing
to the strong expression of feeling manifest
ed by the people in their favor, they were
forced to beat a hasty retreat.—The consta
ble was induced to follow them under the
impression that they were horse thieves, but
on learning otherwise, he refused to render
any further co-operation.
COAL IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY —The Nor
ristown Watchman learns that the specimens
of coal have recently been found on the farm
of George W. Dewees, in Upper Aierion
township, which are said to burn as well as
any Schuylkill county coal. The vein was
struck upon while working a sand stone
quarry. There are also indications of cop
per in the same quarry, and some of the
workingmen say that silver ore has also been
found. Doubtful.
COPPER MINES IN PENNSYLVANIA.—VaIua
bIe veins of copper ore have been found and
opened in Pennsylvania, near the Schuylkill
river, about twenty miles from the city of
Philadelphia. The Pennsylvanian says
these mines, in richness and extent, are said
to be equallad only by the rich mines of
Cornwall, in England which they are said to
resemble in a remarkable degree. Some of
these veins have been opened to a great
depth, and traced for three miles in extent,
showing that they hre very regulur and inex
haustible.
f Bishop Onderdonk's case appears to
be settled, as far as the Convention at Cin-.
cinnati can settle it. On application fr,, ,j,e
Bishop's restoration, by a vote of iJto 9 he
has been declared to have power to resign
and whether he resit;:,, 0r not) if the Ho^e
of Bishops concur in this last canon, the Di
ocese can, without his content, go into the
eleciion of an Assistant Bishop with full
powers,
Woman's Rights Convention.
A Convention under the above title, held
a s ssion in Worcester, Mass., on Wednes
day last. Lucretia Mott, Abby Kelly, Jane
G. Swisshelm, Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phil
lies, Foster (the tpisband of Abby Kelly.)
Fred Douglass and others were the active
participants/
THE New Track on the Cumberland Val
ley railroad has been laid from Chambers
burg to Carlisle, and will be finished to lha
connection with the York and Cumberland
railroad by the Ist of December. The trip
from Chambersburg to Baltimore will fhen
be made in about six hours.
AN Abolition meeting was held at Boston
Charles Francis Ad; ra s, a eon of the late

considerate enough to take but two pair of
boots.
AN English Jury, in a criminal case, is
said to have brought in the following ver
