LYCOMING COUNTY TREASURER. —We see it
stated that the election officers in the Jersey
shore district, Lycoming counly, have made
a very gross mistake in making out their re
turns, by which blunder the return Judges
were made to declare Mr. John Kahier, the
Democratic candidate, duly elected '1 reas
urer by seven votes of a majority. The mis
take occurred in making out the returns
something after this fashion: one humired and
ninety votes were put down for Kahier in
the above named district instead ot ninety.
Mr. Kahier has received the certificate of
election; but we understand bis opponent
is about to contest the legality of it before
Court, where he hopes the matter will be
corrected, and he (Mr. Waddle) will be
duly commissioned to take charge of the
office to which he contends the people hava
elected him by a majority oi ninety three.—
The case looks pretty clear now, but before
they got through with it a rather murky ap
pearance may possibly be presented. These
contestaiions are not pleasant at best.
FIRE IN DANVILLE.— VVe learn from the
Danville papers that the Washington Foun
dry, near Groves' Furnace in that place, was
totally destroyed by fire, on last Wednes
day night about II o'clock. It was not dis
covered until too late to save the building.
So rapid were the flames that the whole
structure was consumed in less than an
hour. The main building was occupied by
Messrs. Huber & Boudeman as a Foundry,
and their loss in patterns, flasks, fee , is es
timated at from S3OOO to $4OOO, with no in
surance. John Hancock also had part of
the building as a machine shop, and his loss
will be about $l5O0 —no insurance. Peter
Haldy, sr.. was the owner of the building,
with a lot of old patterns, whose loss will
probably exceed $3OOO. He was not insur
ed. All adjoining property was saved
There being no wind, consequently the
spreading of flames was not great.
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW for October
has just been issued, is a very full number,
and remarkable for the variety and general
attractiveness of the subjects discussed.—
Witness the following table of Contents:
Militia Forces; Rousseau, his Life and
Writings; Spiritual Freedom; Modern Poets
nnd Poetry ol Italy; Physical Geography of
the Atlantic Ocean; Garibaldi and the Ital
ian Volunteers; Tennyson's Idylls of the
King; Bonapartism in Italy. On the scope
and treatment of these articles there is no
room for comment in a passing notice, and
we'll content ourself with a very brief indi
cation. There is one feature, however, in
this work—one at first sight apparently
subordinate and unattractive—to which it
is proper that attention should be particu
larly invited. We allude to the brief no
tiens of the publications ot the day under
the comprehensive head of Contemporary
Literature, which follow immediately after
the articles forming the bulk of the work

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION REPUDIATED— (
The Baltimore "Exchange," of Thursday,
eays : "It gives us pleasure to be able to |
state, on good authority, that tho rumor
which has been in circulation for some
days, to the effect that Judge Kemp has do
clined to recognize the validity of the re
cent election, by accepting his commission
as one ot the Judges of the Orphans Court
chosen on that occasion, is correct. We
understand that he has addressed a letter to
the Governor of Maryland refusing a com
mission, on the ground that that election
was so viciated by force and fraud, as to af
ford no test whatever of the popular choice."

THE Williamsport Preu, in noticing an
accident on the Williamsport arid Elmira
railroad last week, says : During the run
ning o< the Elmira Express Train on Tues
day evening last, near McKinney's Station,
five miles above Williamsport, a sad affair
occurred by which a man named Daniel B
Evans, lost his life. From evidence before
the Coroner's jury it is supposed the victim
was under the influence of liquor, and un
consciously sat down on the track and fell
over, the lower part of his body resting on
the rail.

The Pitiful Whiningi of the Democrat.
On Saturday las:, about 10 o'clock in the
forenoon, there appeared in our office rath
er an obscure looking sheet, bearing for its
title "COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT," which has for
its spokesman an individual whose name is
Levi L. Tale. This pioteus is making him
self appear more ridiculous by issuing his
paper, time and again, with laboied editori
als abusing, in almost a surreptitious man
ner, our present Sheriff and Register, simply
because they refuse to advertise in his pa
per, which sheet is so utterly beneath their
notice. They explained to him, some time
ago, through our paper, why they did not
support his journal, bnt it appears that the
explanation was not satisfactory. It may
be possible that the "communication" es
caped his visionary organs, as it appeared
through a channel he does not wish to ac
knowledge in existence. If we thought it
would be news to hitn, we should give it
another insertion. But to refresh his dull
apprehensions, we will state some of the
major objections:
in the first place he over charged for ev
erything he done for them. (They both pa
tronized his machine when they first came
into office ) At one lime he charged the
Sheriff in a certain matter FORTY TWO DOL
LARS! of which enormous bill lie was only
entitled to TWENTY ONE DOLLARS !!
Another one we would have "remember
ed." This one is in relation to the Regis
ter's printing: For an advertisement amount
ing) b y '' le square, to only EtoitT DOLLARS !
he charged TWENTY-THREE DOLLARS !!
Now, sir, these are "FACTS" that should be
"remembered" and cannot be denied, and
we have the therewith to prove them. This
is one of the causes why those officers do
not support the Columbia Democrat by their
advertising patronage. They both take his
paper, but it is rather marvelous, consider
ing the above facts, and that he attempted
to make one of these men pay him for two
copies, when it was proven to this fallacious
editor that but one copy was subscribed for.
In the second place "let it be remember
ed" that this man Tale always was hostile
towards the nomination of these men—he
neither urged their nominations or support
ed in the right manner and spirit their elec
tions; and in 1854, when Mr. LEE was the
regular Democratic nominee for Register
and Recorder, he oper.ly supported by pa
per and speech the Volunteer candidate for
that office ; and the same actions he perform
ed on the Commissioner question ; and now
has the impudence to present "figures" of
that and following years, showing that the
STAR or THE NORTH —a paper that supported
the regular Democratic nomiees—received
a few pennies more of County support than
the Democrat, his bogus sheet that had striv
en to elect the Volunteers, who were de
feated. No other man but the one in ques
tion, after conducting himself and paper in
the manner referred to, toward these officers,
would possess that much cool impudence
as to come out in "keep il befure-the people"
editorials, one after the other, abusing these
officers and attempting to thrash them into
his suppoit. This is very ungarteful in the
Democrat, although it is nothing more than
it always has done—fought them—and now
it is receiving its reward, principal and in
terest. Where is the man or set of men
who would not act just as these officers have
after receiving such treatment 7
The Democrat would have these officers
believe that the Democracy throughout the
County sympathise for him in this matter,
and that they denounce their proceedings,
such as advertisingin the STAR OF THE NORTH
and Columbia County Republican. We have
as yet the first Democrat to hear complain
about how these men manage their adver
tising. If there are any, we should think
them about as good Democrats as the editor
whom these officers are not patronizing.—
Although we will leave this for the intelli
gence of the people to decide.
There are some papers that claim to have
very Urge circulations, and among that
number is the Columbia Democrat. He would
"let it also be remembered" that the STAR
has "scarce one half the circulation of the
Columbia Democrat." H r e would have it
"remembered" that this is an infernal lie,
and the old hypocrite knew he was lying
when he penned it. This proves what we
have heretofore said of him, "that nothing
was too small for him to stoop to in order to
accomplish his ends." His paper has a
much larger circulation with EXCHANGES
than has ours; but, as to its circulating
more extensively through this county than
the STAR, is without foundation—it does not
bear the least shadow ol truth.
This all-wise editor falls into another wil
ful error when he sets out his table of "fig
ures," "since the STAR was established,"
making this paper only nine years olJ.—
"Now, let it be remembered," if the STAR
survives six weeks longer it will have been
established just eleven years ! Why did not
this lamentable editor drop the year 1856,
when the STAR received $133.75 for county
printing, while the Democrat only received
$67.00. He loots up the several amounts
paid the diflerenl offices in the nine years
that he would have his readers "remember"
the STAR was established, and discovers
that the STAR has received a few dollars the
most; and then like a little boy, just off his
ma's lap, bawls out, with crocodile tears
streaming down his cheeks, "just give me
back some of that," the Democracy won't
Btand it. Why didn't he speak of this years
ago 7 No, his actions were to fresh. But,
howsomever, come this way Col. and we'll
allow you to take a peep at our little colored
"box," but no further. We'd wish it to
roost high if no one were about.

Southern Sentiment.
A large number of persons at the North
who are excellent citizens, who prize the
advantages of the Union above all price,
and who would vote against, and if needs
be fight against, any party that should raise
the disunion Btandard, are nevertheless in
credulous whenever the subject of danger
to the Union is introduced. They have
heard the story so often, and connected it
with a small coterie of southern sectional
agitators,' that they regard it as nothing
more than a cry to Irighten the timid. This
Union has heretofore endured all the as
saults of northern and southern fanatics,
and for this reason they believe that it will
withstand them for all time to come. They
cannot comprehend how any political ac
tion at the North can exasperate the South
to such a degree as to induce all parties
there to agreo that they are no longer safe
as members of this confederacy. This false
state of security is an evil which results
from an entire misconception of the state of
feeling at the South. Much as we deplore
it, we cannot shut our eyes to the evidence
that the South as a whole—not the insignifi
cant fire eaters who are opposed to the con
tinuance of this Union on any terms—but
the conservative, Union-loving South re
gards the election* of a sectional President
upon the ground of opposition to southern
institutions, as the utmost limit of forbear,
ance, and the point where a violent rupture
of the Union must occur. Recent events
have had the effect of reconciling antagon
isms and concentrating the most moderate
southern opinion upon this position. As
one evidence of the truth of this statement,
we give the following extract from a lato
article in the Richmond IPAig, representing
the Opposition party in Virginia. The Whig
says:
" The triump of the Seward party in the
great State ot New York affords occasion
for alarm and apprehension to every lover
of the Union, North and South, East and
West. We make no threats, and we indi
cate no line of policy to the South, but it is
proper to inform the northern people, with
calmness and candor, that the election of
William 11. Seward to the Presidency would
be followed, according to our judgment and
belief, by an almost instant secession of the
Southern States from the Union. VVe entire
ly pass over the question at present, wheth
er it would be the part of wisdom and patri
otism or not for the Southern States to re
fuse submission to the inauguration of a
President, elected in accordance with the
forms of the Constitution. Nor is it neces
sary to state, even it we know exactly,
what wi I be our own course in the event of
Seward's election. We can only state that
we firmly and religiously believe that the
Southern Slates will not submit to the inau
guration of Seward as President of the Uni
ted Stales. We go further, and say that the
Southern States will not Rubmit to the inau
guration.of any Black Republican President
whatever—that is, any man elected by the
Republican party, as such, in its capacity
ol a separate and distinct 'political and sec
tional organization. In such an event, we
believe all the Gulf States, with one accord,
and at the same moment, will go out of the
Union, and set up for themselves, and that
the other Southern States, Virginia included,
will ultimately, if not immediately, take
precisely the same step. We confess that,
until recently, wo have never so believed,
or thought; or dreamed; but there is now
no mistaking the temper and purpose of
the southern people, and tho ominous signs
of tho limes.' .
The Whig is not alone in expressing such
views. They are identical with others
from moderate southern sources. It would
be blind infatuation for us to disregard them
or dismiss them with contempt, as do the
Republican newspaper's, who regard the
dissolution of the Union as not the worst
evil that could overtake this country. But
we should profit by these warnings. There
is always danger in injustice.
Terrible and Fatal Accident.
Last evening a horrible and fatal acci
dent occurred on the 6 : 15 train, at or near
the railroad bridge on the Erie Canal, be
tween Geddes and this city, by which a la
dy passenger was instantly killed, and her
remains mutilated in a horrible manner.—
Her name was Mrs. Susannah Knight, and
a widow woman, about 54 years of age.—
She was in company with her father-in-law,
and had been visiting at his house and Ar
lington, Vermont, and was now on her re
turn home, about six miles from Girard Sta
tion, on the Cleveland and Erie Railroad,
in the State of Pennsylvania. ,
As we learn tho facts from the railroad
men and her father-in-law, who was an
eye-witness to the sad and horrible acci
dent, they are these, viz : On the arrival
of the train from the East, as is customary,
the last coach in the train, where Mrs.
Knight, and her father-in-law were sitting,
was cut off, and the passengers directed to
take the forward car. In accordance with
instructions, they sought a seat in the next
car forward, but finding none, they proceed
ed to the next, and so on to the next, with
out finding a seat.
The train by this time was under good
headway, and the old gentleman tried to
persuade his daughter-in-law from going
further for a seat, but to wait till the con
ductor came along, but she thought she
would try the next car, and in attempting
to cross the platform the made a mis-step,
the night being dark, and fell between the
cars just as the train had crossed the bridge
above mentioned, and was immediately
killed. Her head was completely severed
from her body, and found about two rods
distant from where the melancholy acci
dent occurred.— Syracuse Journal, loth.
WE learn from the Pittsburgh Chronicle,
that Thomas G. Uutherford, late Superin
tendent of the Pittsburgh House of Refuge,
has been convicted of adultery with the
girls under his official care. The indict
ment against him contained six counts, on
four of which he was convicted.
IN New Jersey the other day a young
couple while courting by the fire fell asleep.
While asleep the young lady's dress took
fire, as soon as they awoke, the young man
made every exertion to extinguish the fire,
but without success. The young girl rush
ed out of the door enveloped in a sheet of
flames, which continued to burn until her
clothing was all consumed. The young
man will probably be crippled in the hands
lor life.

W. P. Position.
FRIEND Columbia Demo
crat of October a squib from
the personage in which he
decidedly backs controversy which
he opened by vile falsehood, and
sending it the public press,
lie remarks been trained '.o
the use of etc. We
see been trained, it
has been an for though
he often attempts to use and apply it, he
lails. He says in conclusion that, "he is
unable to answer it." Well he may be, for
an attempt to do so, would only involve him
deeper in guilt. Now, after this back out,
what position does ho occupy' Said a res*
pectable gentleman to me, a few days since,
while in Columbia county, "I would not
occupy the position Mr. Teitswonh does for
five thousand dollar) —no," said he, "money
could not tempt me to stand where he
stands in the eyes of a candid public." Said
another, and a Presbyterian at that, "I wish
he was welt out ol this muss, but he has
brought it on himself"—or words to the
same import.
Said another person, to one of my friends,
and in the presence of a number of persons,
after having read both sides, "It was a cow
ardly attack, and Mr. Noble would not have
done the community justice had he failed to
reply to it, etc." What I have here penned
are but a few of the expressions of the many
who have noticed the articles. 1 do not
wonder that the man (for gentleman I can
call him no longer) feels sore and worried,
for f assure you his position is an unenvia
ble one. Look at it:
1. Me falsely calls many of the residents
of upper Fishingrreek, "Unitarians, Miller
ites," etc., when 1 have proven that there is
no society of eilhsr class on the waters of
Fishingcreek, nor never has been one.
2. He writes a slanderous account con
cerning the Episcopalians and their "Drunk
en Bishop," sends it to the press, when
some older and wisw person caused its sup
pression. I
3. He falsely staff that I scandalized the
worshipers at the "Old Log Church."
4. He states to a ierson in Cambria, that
my discourse referral to, "was a good one,
he could find no-f|£dl with it," etc. Then
publicly declares a "soulless affair."
Here is a positive Wsehood in one case or
the other. m
5. He makes meHate, what I did not, at
that, or any other tiVe.
6. He quotes frMr my article what I
never wrote; whaHloes not appear there.
7. He compares-himself with Sir Isaac
Newton, St. Paul, and all the good and
great, when none of them ever occupied
the position ho does, but were all lovers of
the truth, and despised liars.
8. He pretends to be educated, when his
own composition and spirit show that he
has failed to acquire the knowledge most
needed in his case. "Know thyself."
9. In short, he indulges in misrepresenta
tion and slander, as though his whole study
at "Seminaries, Colleges, and Theological
Schools," had been to excel in this sublime
art.
These are some of his public positions.
Were I to take his courso and follow him to
his private walks, I could say more ; I could
tell of a certain professed preacher who in
directly begged the privilege of preaching
the funeral sermon of a person, when, as
yet, the deceased was hardly cold in death,
but I'll not enter into this spirit; I'll leave
it to Mr. T. Such a course comports best
with a talent like his. One
word of advice jßthe young man, and I
close : Never anything again un
less you are surrSsu can accomplish it.—
My prayer is may be converted
from the error ways and become a
good Christian. J. G. NOBLE.

A DREADFUL of suicide look place
on Thursday lasHlf Washington. A young
man named Lewis H. Jones shot himseit
at the house of his mother,' on New York
Avenue. His course of life was character

was a cause of glial grief to an excellent
mother, who frequently remonstrated with

him, when he stepped back a few feet, and
drawing a Derringer pistol from his pocket,
and pointing it at his head, exclaimed, "I'll
kill myself," and instantly discharged the
weapon into his lothead.— Bradford Reporter.
Bovs ON THE STREETS— Few boys in
town have the courage and energy necessa
ry to resist the temptation of running the
streets atnigjw. The privilege is grant
ed them by their parents of being out of
evenings, and under pretext or going to a
friend's Utey scour the streets in pursuit of
pleasure. Our streets at night are lined
with boys, and as we have r.o police force
to regulate them, they indulge in ail sorts
of lawless conduct. While boys are per
mitted to educate themselves in the streets,
neglected by those who should train them
in the ways ot wisdom and virtue, we need
look for nothing but crime to be the feature
of the rising generation. The oft-quoted
proverb is as true now as when it was first
written :
" 'Tis education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig if bent the tree's inclined."

Writ of Error refnsed in Brown's Case,
RICHMOND, Nor. 19—The petition of John
Brown for a writ of error to the judgment
rendered by the Circuit Court of Jefferson
county, was presented to the Supreme
Court of Appeal" yesterday. The Court to
day refused to award a writ of error, being
of the opinion that the judgment of the Cir
cuit Court is plainly right. The execution
will therefore take place, as appointed, on
the 2d of December—Judges Allen, Daniel
Harcure Lee and Robertson on the bench.
A Court Martial is now in session at the

About tke most remarkable piece ofbru

Some persons unknown caught a little

way home in that condition. No cause is
assigned. The lather has offered a reward
of $5O for the villains.

Holloway's Pills, invaluable to persons af
flicted with diseases of the Liver and stom
ach —The virtue of these Pills, having been
tested in alt parts of the civilized world,
particularly by the citizens of the Union,
renders it needless to expatiate upon their
merits ; the thousands who have derived
benefit from them in each and every one of
the Stales, being sufficient to convince the
most inctedulous. All those who are af
flicted with liver and bowel complaints ; in
digestion, sick headaches, and dizziness,
cannot make use of a remedy so certain in
its results as Holloway's Pills; for determi
nation of blood to the head their effect is
equally positive. Theyare also an unfail
