taaXelettNit.—We have heretofore eta-
Sod that this great Statesman-poet is in
, volved in very serious pecuniary difficult- .
We. and that it was thought his entire pa
lettelestate opal be , saeriticed to satisfy
the claim* of his creditors. To avoid a
adentity of this sort, a national subscrip
tion for his relief has been proposed in
Fiance to save his patrimony and to re
move front his shoulders the heavy pres
sure of debt. _A committee having been
formed, the members waited on the illus
trious poet, to whom they stated the object
of their visit. Lainartine thanked them
for their kindness, hut refused to accept the
oilbr of a national subscription, on the
ground that the produce of his literary !a
bet, is more than sufficient for his w ants.
We sincerely hope he may not he disa p-1
pointed, and that the proceeds of his lite- 1
vary labors may be entirely sufficient to
enable him to redeem himself from debt.
COMFORTS OF AM EDlTOR.—Somebody
who knows what he writes about thus dis•
muses of the consforlo attending the life
editorial :
Iron editor does not fill up his paper
with news of importance, whether there
are any or not, it is condemned for not be
ing what it purports to he—a newspaper.
If he does not at least fill one column
every week with something laughable, his
folio is pronounced uninteresting.
If a public nuisance should exist, notice'
of it would offend ; and not to notice
would be censured.
If he does not publish all the marriages
and deaths that occur in the world for 20
tales around, whether he hears of them or
not, he is not fit for an editor.
If every paper does not contain a goodly
number of '•Suicides, Horrible Murano',
and Melancholy Accidents," it is a dull,
unwelcome sheet.
If half of the gloomy transactions which
occur are recorded, it is spurned as a ve
hicle of calamities.
If his paper contains advertisements the
general reader murmurs; if it does not,
the man of busineis will not patronize it.
If dozen friends call on him while he
is correcting his proof-sheet, and one error
escapes detection, he is the biggest blun
der-head in the world.
Fast Sou. Nostazgrrry.—The Hartford
Cuurant relates a good story of a voter in
the western part of New York, who was
hailed and his polities required. "Well,"
said he, ain't nothing ! 1 used to be a
Liberty man till the Free Soil party came
up ; then I joined that party ; now that's
bust up, - and I aint nothing !"
D,
IBAD DRUNIC.—We learn from. Mack
inac that the 21 Indiana reported to have
been found 'on the beach near that place
dead of Cholera, got up next day and went
about their business. When discovered
they were only dead—drunk.
Goon Naws.—The Jersey buckwheat
crop has escaped the frost, and promises
abundance. Corn and potatoes in the
neighborhood of Mount , Holly, exceed
anything of the kinV j f e iretinfore grown.—
From fifteen hundre to three thousand
bushels are expected to be dug by several
fernier*, and one who cannot dig a thous
and is considered below par.
INOIDOVATION TO CALIFOANIA seems to
have become rile again. Four packet
ships have sailed from New York for San
Francisco within a week, with full cabins,
and some five or six from Boston, Phila
delphia and other ports. During the
month of September, 42 vessels.cleared for
the gohlvegion, viz : 9 from New York,
Z. from Philadelphia, and the remainder
from Boston and other Now England ports,
and the number of passengers is estimated
at 2,000.
Mumma WILL OUT.—The Chronotype
states that at the recent trial of youg White,
at Dedham, Massachusetts, for setting fire
to a barn, it came out in the evidence that
a man, whose body was found upon the
railroad track some time since, and who
it was supposed, was run over by the cars
and killed, was murdered in a grog shop
in that town, and that the murderers pla
ced the body upon the track for the pur
pose of misleading the public.
"My dear sir," said a doctor to his pa
tient, "I am truly gratified to see you alive.
At my last visit yesterday, you know I
told you that you had but six hours to

not take the dose you left for me."

uary notice of a deceased citizen of that
county : "lie was the lather of eleven

A MELANCHOLY AFFAIR
On last Thursday evening week, a man
by the name of Loucks, who was several
times in the Lunatic Asylum, wns seen ri
ding at full speed down Main street, with
a rifle in his hand. IVhen he came to
the residence of Maj. GEORGE HAY, he
shot into the window fortunately no one
was in the room. After committing this
deed, he continued his• course down Main
street, through Bottstown, at n rate which
defied all pursuit. Several of our citizens
procured horses and went in pursuit of him.
lie having taken the Carlisle road, two
men mounted on ono horse, took that di
rection, and about three miles from town
they caught up with Lomas—he turned
around and told them to come on, that he
would not hurt them. When they were
within 20 feet of him, be raised his rifle
and shot down the foremost one, Some
persons in the neighborhood seeing the af
fair, came to the assistance of the wound
ed man, but it was of no avail, as he died
shortly afterwards. The deceased, !Irv-
RY rEGENFRITZ, sou of John was
a young man, and a resident of York.—
lie was married only %Witt a year.—
Loucks was pursued and taken by Messrs.
Alburtus Welsh and David Eberhart, sev
eral miles above Dover, and brought to
York. Ile is now safely lodged in Jail.
It appears that Maj. George flay assist
ed several times to take Loucks to the Lu
natic Asylum ; and that, in consequence,
when in a fit of insaninty, he always ex
pressed a desire to be revenged.—Fork

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-JOIIN REMY, eld,
eat son of Dr. 1.. Roily of our borough
lost his left arm on Friday last by the ac.
eidental discharge of a gun. lie was out
on a hunting excursion, accompanied by
his father and brother. The gun was
accidentally discharged on attempting to
remove a from the carriage, shattering
his arm so terribly as to render amputation
necessary. It was taken off above the
elbow. We are gratified to learn that he
is doing well.
Airtrrnza.--Last Saturday,' as we are
informed, a son of Mr. Henry Landis of
this county, while taking the horses to the
field, accompanied with his brother, and
riding at a pretty rapid rate, the one horse
stumbled and threw the buy over his head
against a stone, killing him almost instant

THIS HUNGARIAN CROWN, which was
carried off by Kossuth, when he fled into
Turkey, is fabled, by the Hungarian le
gends, to have been sent by angels to St.
Stephen, who was crowned with it in
1001 ! The truth, as related by history,
is. that it was presented to Stephen by
Pope Sylvester, H. A golden circlet, pre
sented to Duke Geisa by the Greek Em
peror, was incorporated with it afterwards.
It has seen many curious adventures in
tha eventful history of Hungary, when ri-I
val claimants contended fur it. It was
once packed away in a cask by a royal
fugitive; who in journeying thus, lost it,
but recovered it again. This same.king,
Otto, had it forcibly taken from him by
Waywode Ladislas, who kept it three
years and then was forced to return it:—
In 1439 it was stolen by a maid of honor
at the instance of the widow of a deceased
monarclr, who wished to have her infant
son crowned with it. In 1481 the widow
pawned it to the Emperor, Frederick IV,
for 2500 guilders. It was redeemed, buti
soon stolen again by another - woman, to
crown another claimant, and after several
changes fell into the hands of the Turks,
whose leader, Solymon, returning from!
the siege of Vienna, exhibited it as the
crown of the famous Persian King Nush
iveon. Ile afterwards sent it back to the
person from whom he obtained it, and it
then was given up to the Emperor Ferdi
nand. After many other changes it was
sent to Hungary by Leopold, and there it
remained until Windischgratz took Pesth,
when Kossuth removed it, and has ever
since kept it in his possession.
How like rain is the human heart—ha
ving no beauty in itself, but beneath the
smile of God, showing forth with all the
rainbow's glory; or how like a star, which,
though but dust, can yet be cherished into
a semblance of the fountain of its light.
"Many readers judge of the power of a
book by the shock it gives their feelings--
as some savage tribes determine the pow
er of muskets by their recoil ; that being
considered the best which fairly prostrates
the purchaser."
POLITE HINT.—•'I do not wish to say
anything against the individual in ques
tion," said a very polite gentleman, "but
I would merely remark in the language of
the poet, that to him truth is strange,
.stranger than fiction.'"
MELANCHOLY CASE OF DROWPHNO.--•
Miss Elizabeth Bitter, a young lady a
bout 16 years of age, daughter of Mr. Jno.
Rixler, of Cumru township, was drowned
last Saturday, in the Union Canal, near
Lebanon. She was on a visit to some in
the neighborhood of that place, and on the
day just mentioned had been, in company
with several female acquaintances, at a
quilting party in Jonestown. Returning
' late at night in a boat, towed by a horse,
they were capsized while rounding a sud
den bend in the dam, near the Union Wa
ter Works. All the young ladies were
rescued from the water in safety, except
Miss Dialer, whose lifeless body was re
covered, after a long search. her remains
were taken home to her parents last Sun
day. Their heart-rerning grief at behold.
log the (laughter who left them but a short
time before, full of life and youthful glee,
brought home an inanimate corpse, was
too poignant fur words to express.
CCLTIVATIO:k; OF THE TEA PLANT.-.The
cultivation of the Tea Plant, which was
undertaken by Mr. James Smith, near
Greenfield, S. C., in 1848.. has so fair_pro
ved highly successful. In the fall of 1848'
about 500 plants were received direct from
China via London, and in December they
were planted in his garden. A considera
ble quantity of tea seed was planted at the
same time. Notwithstanding the severe
winter and spring, the plants, which were
left to take care of themselves, were un
harmed, and are now in a flourishing con
dition. Several specimens of green and
black plant are in bud. The tea plant
buds one year, but dbes not fruit till the
next. Next year Mr. Smith expects to
pick tea, although his great object for
some time to come will be to increase the
quantity of his plants.

BIT BY A RATTLE4SNAKE
A young man rirtimd George Keller,
son of Mr. Jacob Keller, a farmer of U
nion township, 'Jerks county, residing a
bout half way between Birdsborough and
Hopewell Furnace, was bitten by a rattle
snake, on Thursday the 6th instant, says
the Berks and Schuylkill Journal, under
the following circumstances. A short dia..
tattoo from the house he came across a
large rattle-snake, and prompted by the
feeling that seems to inspire all of the race
of Adam, lie determined to ..bruise" its
head. Arming himself with a stick he
he made for the reptile and pinned it fast
after two-thirds of its body had disappear
ed between the rocks. He then very
cooly took out his knife, and proceeded to
Chit oir the rattlers, but while in tho act,
the head of the snake found an opening in
the rock, and with its body fast, reached
around and bit him on the point of one of
his lingers. With remarkable presence
of mind he immediately cut off the bitten
part, and wound a string tightly round the
linger to prevent the circulation of the pois
on through his system. The bandage
was afterwards cut loose, and she arm
became enormously swollen. At this
stage Dm Allison and Bruner were called
in, who applied the proper antidotes.—
After severe suffering, in which it is said'
the young man became almost blind, the
physicians succeeded in placing him be
yond the reach of danger, and in a few
days he was well enough to "carry on the
war" against the whole tribe of "varmints"
in those diggins. One of the first acts af
ter his recovery was to visit the scene of
this disaster, where he found the snake
still pinned to the rock. This time he
made sure• work by killing it oevright,
and securing the rattlers as a trophy, bore
them off in triumph.
N
EA'S JERSEY RAILROADS. --There is
much excitement in New Jersey on the
subject of the monopoly of railroad and ca
nals, which the Legislature of that State
granted to ell-win companies some 'years
ago. The ! conditions of their chirtera
were, if they (the companies) would pay
to the State the interest on $200,000 worth
of stock, and transit duties on all passen
gers and freight, the State would guaran
tee to all the companies, that no road should
be made through it, to compete with their
road. The Legislatures of 1835,'88 and
37, re-affirmed the contract. The transit
duties now paid to the State amouut to a- ;
bout $BOO,OOO a year.
An effort is making to set aside these
contracts as Unjust and unconstitutional.

MEN WITH Taus.—A French scientific
commission has discovered a race of men
in Akita, with tails,- and no mistake. A
report was lately made to the Academy of
Sciences thereon. They are one remove
from the babpon, scarcely so handsome or
human as the onrang-outang. but can telit
like negroes. They are terrible savages
and one of their peculiarities is a fondness
for raw flesh, especially human flesh.—
When they are kept as slaves, if not stuf
fed with raw meat occasionally, they are
dangerous as a beast of prey. The slave
traders, on this acCrount refuse to buy
them, as they do not want their stock to
eat each other up.
The descriptions of them say that the
prolongation of the vertebral column gives
to each individual--male or female--a
tail of two or three inches long. They
are called Ghilans, 'and are rarely more
than five feet high ;. bodies lean and seem
tweak ; arms long•and slim; forehead l
and receding; ear long and deform ;„
mouth wide, and furnished with teeth v I
sharp.
Tlll2 STATE Or Otno.—T. P. KirITIM.
of New York, has published an article in
the last number,of Hunes Magsaine, - on
the prevent condition of the State of Ohio,
from which we collect the following par
ticulars :
The area of the State of Ohio is 89,984
square miles, or 25,576,980 acres : and
its character is that of a table land, eleva
ted on the northern centre about one thou
, sand feet, and on the eastern and the sou
thern borders from six hundred to eight
hundred feet. The completedeanals with
in its limits are the little Mama, which is
eighty-four miles long ; the Red River and .
Lake Erie, one hundred and thirty-four
miles long ; and the Mansfield Canal, fif
ty-six miles long : making the total two
hundred and seventy four miles. And the
Canals in progress, when completed, will
increase the inland navigation of the State
to the extent of three hundred and thirty
seven and a half miles. The amount of
money invested in turnpike stocks is $3,-
890,505, and the amount in railroads $482,-
005. The debt of the State is as follows :
school debt, $1,566,930, 87 ; domestic
bonds, Ct 725,309 85 ; and foreign debt,
$16,880,082 50 ; the sum total being $lO,-
173,223 22, and the interest thereon $l,-
150,893 39. The article before us occu
pies no less than twenty-one pages of the
Magazine, and is one of the most compre
hensive ones of the kind that we have ev
er seen in any periodical.

Riot at Philadelphia.
A terrible and sanguinary riot occurred in South
wark, Philadelphia, at • late hour on Election
night, between the blacks and whites, in which
fire-arms and every kind of missiles were freely
used. Several persons were killed, and a large
number seriously wounded, who were removed to
the hospital. The riot commenced by the "Kill
ers" attacking the California house—a place of
resort for the blacks, at the corner of Sixth and
St. Mary's streets. Resistance being made by the
blacks, a general fight soon ensued, in the course
of which the building was fired. The fire bells
giving the alarm, ireveral Fire companies, with a
number of police, repaired to the scene of riot; but
the mob beat back the police, and refused to let
the engines play on the fire. The California
house and several adjoining buildings were de
stroyed. Himellright, a member of the Good
Will Hose Company, was shot through the heart.
The military were called out about midnight,
whose appearance had the effect of dispersing the
Moab about two o'clock.
The military having subsequently retired, the
riot was renewed next day, and other buildings
destroyed. At about 10 o'clock, six or eight mil
itary eoznpanisa, headed by the Mayor and Sher
iff, took posseaioa of the disturbed district, made
swig arrests, and planted cannon in the streets to
prevent the encroachment of the crowd.

"Since the Vermont and Rhode Island Elec

our neighbor is searching after, else the charge, a
very simple one, would have been manfully met.
The Compiler quoted a remark as having been
made by President Taylor in regard to mmovals
and appointments, and upon it based a charge of
.hypocrisy" and infidelity to solemn pledges,
against the Administration, for making a charge '
in the Cashtown Posteffice. Now, Gen. Taylor
never uttered the expression dins quoted ; and the
falsehood has been so frequently and so pointedly
contradicted, and mows to be false, that it is sin

of our neighbor was whether he did not Avow that

A NEW STATE.--The people residing in
the valk7 of the Groat Balt Lake, have instituted
for thematlves a form of Government to be sob
, mined to Congress at its next session. A eon
' mitution has been adopted, Governor elected, also
member, of Legislature, and Debuts to Cootfolts.
The inhabitants are shoat exclusively of ths Mor.
mon filth, but there seems to be no peculiarity in
their brat of government, essentially dillerent from
that in operation in the States. The new Sate
L quaintly styled the State of .Deseret,' which im
plies, according to the Mormon history and inter
pretation, the “Lioney Bee," and is significant of
Industry and the kindred virtues.
THE PRESIDENT GOING NORTH,—
The Washington correspondent of the Boston Bee
learns "from good authority," that the President
is making arrangements to prosecute his visit to
the North. It is quite probable that he will leave
Washington so as to be in New York by the 16th,
and in Boston by the 18th, He will stop one
day or night with Gov. Lincoln. Mr. Preston is
desirous of visiting New England, and may per
haps accompany the President to Boston,
J We learn from a Western paper. that in
some parts of Ohio the original straw with which
Mr. Polk "sucked in" the Tarifrmen of Pennsyl
vania, is being exhibited, and is regarded as a great
curiosity.
THE CORN CROP.--The Hagerstown Pledge
says :—Many of the fanners in this region are
very agreeably surprised to find that the corn
crops are much better than they expected, consid
ming the great dryness of the season.

Intolerance of Nlavery.
At a late election in Kentucky, Delegates were
chosen by the people to meet in convention for
the purpose of revising the Cormitution of the
State. A large portion of the Whigs, knowing that
Slavery had retarded the progress end Improve
trtent of their noble State, and sharing in the %lens
of Henry Clay, his colleague in the U.S. Senate,
Judge Underwood, Rev. Dr. Breckenridge, and
other distinguished and able men, avowed them-
selves to be in favor of improving this opportunity
to provide for the adoption of a just and gradual
emancipation. The other party, Ironically called
democratic, with its reckless facility in seizing upon
any and every expedient for increasing its strength,
I immediately declared itself to be en masie opposed
to all schemes for relieving the State from the in
cubus of Slavery, and combined with all the pro
scriptive Slave-holders in the choice of delegates.
We say nothing now about the /moistener of this
conduct in contrast with the open coalitions of the
same party in N. York, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and other Northern States, with the
ultra abolitionists; but only note the result in
Kentucky that a small majority of those Demo.

Odin always and every whore to births exclude*

too profess to be Jefiersonlan Democrat; when
they know that the great object of their political
id olatry solemnly declared that when he reflected

"trembled to think dot pop re Jon:" Yet the

or the State and the emancipation of its hereditary
bondmen, is placed ender the ban of proscription
by this Dereorratie Convention, and excluded from
a privilege awarded to all those who fought the
battle of Slavery, and pandered to the indolence,
tyranny and pride of blasted wealth of the own

NOBLE SENTIMENTS,—Lord Morpeth,
in one of his addresses to the electors of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, (England,) expresses him
self as follows:—"Reference hu been frequently
made to the reigns of our former. female Sove
reigns, and indeed every Englishman must fondly
look back to the wisdom of Elizabeth and the vic
tories of Anne. But, in shaping the desired ca
reer of their fair and young successor, we do not
wish that her name should rise above the wrecks
of the armada; we do nut seek to emblazon her
throne with the trophies of such fields as Bien
helm, or the yet more transcendent Waterloo.—
Let her have glories, but such as Sri riot 41r:dried
from the treasury or dimu.ed with the blood of her
people. Let hers be the glories of peace, of in
dustrjr, of commerce. and of genius; of justice
made more accessible; of education made more
universal; of virtue more honored; of religion
more beloved ; of holding firth the earliest gospel
light to the unawakened nations; the glories that
arise from gratitude for benefits conferred ; and
the blessings of a loyal and chivalrous, because a
contented and admiring people."
117 The Whigs of Mamachusetts, at their late
State Convention, put forth the following succinct
profession of faith. It strikes us that welfare
read • great many party creeds that had more De
mocracy on their surface and less in their substance
than these.
RESOLUTIONS
Resolved, That Liberty is natural and
essential to all men—that we are not born
to be used by masters, demagogues, nor
whiffle rs—that Governments are not in
stituted and parties are not formed for the
benefit of leaders and office-holders, but
the people are the beginning and the end
of all politcal power—and while each
State may alone control its peculiar load-,
unions, all the States, ind the people
thereof are responsible for the Constitution
and the Union. which shall be preserved
and magnified to prosperity.
Resolved, That the Whig party, born
in opposition to tyranny—the author and
finisher of the American Revolution—
with Washington among its leaders, ever
has been, - and 'shill ever continue to be,
the party of Freedom, Law and;Popular
Rights. " -
Resolved, That reform in whatever is
bad, conservatism in whatever is good,
progress for whatever is better, and econo
my in all thing.. are the cornerstones of
Whig policy.
.Resolved, That we go for the abolition
and exclusion of Slavery. wherever Con
gress has jurisdiction—for a Tariff„ protec
tive of American labor—:for Internal Im
provements, essential to commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
States—for a sound and convenient cur
rency for the use of the people-4or cheap
postage—equal repreoentation—safe and
successful popular elections.
Resolved, That our candidates shall be
practical men, known for their constant ad
herence to the principles of piety, justice,
moderation, temperance, industry and fru
gality, who will co-operate with the Whig
party in the promotion of agriculture, arts,
sciences, commerce, trades and manufac
tures; and who will, by precept and ex
ample, countenance and inculcate the gra
ces of humanity, benevolence, charity,
honesty, and good humor--and all social
affections and generous sentiments among
the people.
Resolved, That General Taylor, by his
prompt, sacacious and energetic adminis
tration—by his humble faith in Divine
Providence, when pestilence consumed the
people—by his warm and comprehensive
patriotism, and by his quick vindication of
our sovereignty at home, our peace abroad
and our honor in diplomacy, has won and
deserves the approbation and confidence
of the whole natrbn.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—The York Press
states that Mr. Jesse Sherman, of Codorus town
ship, met with an accident which resulted in his
death. He was attending his saw mill, and whilst
thus engaged, his coat skirts became entangled in
the wheel, and his body was drawn in, and so ter

The British briglit. Jobe, Capt. Oliver,

It is supposed that she struck on the

will not survive—one being badly rut on
the head by a piece of the wreck.
The other woman, it is said, has a bun.
band residing in Boston. She had three
children on board with her, all of whom
were lost.

that there were 12 on bonrd, including the

The 'Whys' and 'Wherefores.'
THESE are the times in which men
look for the doings of the world and
general information. to the Press, which
is, by-the-by, the true path-finder for bus.
mess men, as well as thoae who wish to
make evere penny count most for them
selves. This being the order of the day,
the undersigned wishes to keep with the
current, and at the same time give the
reader a good hint which path to travel
to make his money count most. A few
good reasons will satisfy the reader at once
why it is that the undersigned will and can
sell any gentleman a suit of ready-made
clothing. from the commonest every-day
suit to a fine Sunday and superfine wed
ding suit, cheaper, than any, other tonal,-
!lament. ' In the - first 'plebe', then, he is
able to sell cheaper than 'other establish.

his business. He buys and sells for cash.
and knows when and where and how to
buy his goods. , 6Glonde Well
,bobght ate
halt sold." Even if he had no advantages
over any one in his line of business, he
can still indent!l them, because be
quires no large 'profits to make up for
large e,xpenses. He attends to his beta
nese himself, and therefore incurs but
small expenses, comparatively speaking, in
carrying on thesame. He sells his goods
for cash. and therefore requires no large
profits tomake up for loss sustained by
credit sale*. Nu one will doubt that the
Cash and One-price system together with
small profits, is the best mode of dealing
and most advantageous to the purchaser.
If any one tionlits.this. he will be convin•
ced of its truth by calling at the Clothing
and; Variety Store, opposite the Bank,
where he will find a large assortment of
all kinds of Ready-mide Clothing, for men's
and boys' wear, together with every arti
cle in this line of business--Cloaks, Over
Coats, frock, sack, business and dress
Coats, Pants and Vests of sill descrip
tions, Woolen Under-shirts and drawers,
all kinds of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Hand
kerchiefs, Silk Cloves and Stockings, wrap
pers, Caps, Hats, together with soma fan
cy articles—Jewelry, Pistols, knives, and
a few Six-shooters, all of which he will
with pleasure exhibit fur examination to
those who call upon him. 'rite prices are
such as will satisfy every one that this is
the place to buy Fall and Winter Cloth
ing. You will be asked but one price,
with but a very small profit. The sub
scriber takes this occasion to tender to the
public his thanks for the liberal patronage
which he has thus far received, and ree.
pectfully solicits a continuation of the
same. Also for sale, a very good and
neatly trimmed ROCKAWAY BUGGY,
with standing top, antlg a second-handed
Buggy, which will be disposed of very
low, either fur cash or with a credit of six
months, as may suit purchasers.
