A mass meeting will accordingly be hold'hero on that day to give tho Democratic candidate for Governor a fitting reception, and hour bis views of public pol'cy.

Whig Logic Charley Cook of tlio Dantffllc IVhig has ! nil intelligent correspondent who defends Senator Krailey from our rcbuko iu this wise: "The people of Montour aro grateful to Mr. Fruilry—tho people of Columbia wero iingratolul to you, ergo it is right to give Mr. Krailey a horse for his devotion to the Montour interest." That chap is a dan gerous logician, nnd if ho must write for Whig papors had bettor go at tho business of putring pumpkins and squasllOß, for at that he might make his "tarnal fortin." But a Whin's a whig, nnd wo only ask that the j high intelligence ixtiivh delights in such classical and logical articles shall not attempt te ridicule us by praising us for having more manliness and decency than generally, iu these degenerate days, falls to tlio lot of ed itors in a small village, ft is very unkind for Hitch intelligence to eeniniond us, and we shall have to study out some strong de fence if we are threatened with tlio like in. lliclioii again. Cattuwlssa Railroad. To slioW with whut confidence wo may tely upott tho completion of tlio railroad connection between this region ami Phila delphia we will just mention an incident in tho lute ruilioad mooting nt Caltawissa.

W. Attlmicad, for a per petual injunction to restrain tlio collector ol Btalo and county taxes, oi Cumberland county, from proceeding to collect certain taxes assessed upon a military post occu pied as barracks by the U.

Tho opinion decides that there is no au thority by law to impose a lux upon any property owned by the United Slates within (lie State ul Pennsylvania, ar.d that all taxes heretofore assessed are illegal and void. The opinion is very able and interesting. l-F Peter Siegfried one of fho prisoners lately escaped from tho Danville jail was last week arrested at Espytown by Constable Hartmun and taken to his quarters at Duo ville.

Stock Companies are those that insure for a specific premium, paid annually in ad vatico. A long series of experiments has enabled tho managers of thoso Compalies to tlx a rate of insurance whioli w.ill ordina rily onablo them to declare a reasonable di vidend upoji tho Capital invested. What constitutes the safety of thcso companies is, tho amount of Capital actually jmid in and securely invested. Corporations sometimes borrow money to start upon, so lang as to answer tho iiloral requirements of tho law They have no consciences, and people must look out for thcin.—lit general it is safer to insure in a wcll-os'.ablishod Company. Tho Franklin, Philadelphia, is strictly a slock Company. It has issued over 100,00 Poli cies, and post-essed funds amounting to over one million dollars. 2 Mutual Companies aro thoso that, in ad dition to the ajvanco premium, tako a pre in i inn note of every member, which is sub ject to assessment to pay the losses and ex penses of the Company, or to make up tlio deficit alter appropriating the udvanee pre miums to !his purpose. Somo of these | Companies tako very high notes, and a small Cash premium; others, low nolod and : a high premium.—(In thcso Companies, the I notes' aro the principal fund to be relied up on by the insured.) — Ihe State Mutual Co., which duos business both upon tlio Stock utul Mutual principle, requires a sufficient premium iu advance, to pay ordinary tires and expenses; whereas tho Monroe Co.. \ takes but one dollar on a thousand insured. | Tho Wyoming, Lycoming, Luzerne, Moil i roe, Northampton, &c , aie strictly nwticul. 3. Mixed Companies are thoso that insure for a specific advance premium, without any further liability to the iusurod. At tho I same time those who insure participate with ! the Stockholders iu the profits of the busi ness, in proportion to tho amount paid in. l Of this character is tlio Delaware Co , Pliilu dclptua.—Carbon County Gazette..
