CHILD ATTACKED AND BITTEN BY A
Rwr.—A most singular circumstance oc.
mired in the house of Mr. Wm. Crawford
(formerly , keerer of the old Si. Charles.)
on . Penneyleaning? Avenue. last Mon
day night. A young daughter of his, a
mere infant, was lying in the bed asleep,
when• she was attacked by a huge Nor
way rat, which began to inflict bites on
her arm and hand. A little boy in the
same bed anoke and endeavored to drive
the animal away but he too was bitten in
three or lour placer on the hand. The
girl's hand from the wrist to tbe end of
the thumb was bitten in a dozen difrtir
eel places and she is qnite seriously in
jured. •The screams of the children at.
treated the mother to the bed and nut un
til then did the vile beast leave them.—
He was afterwards caught and summary
vengeance executed on him.

4 PIIMEING CASE OF MINISTERIAL

Methodist, ecclesiastical authorities, upon
a charge orgross immorality, and is to be

heartlessly • and shamefully sacrificed.--
Jeopiegs has a family.
The . above is from the Moluiwk
Courier. The Utica Herald adds :
The girl is young—only 17, and one
of ihe moat .respectable families in • the
town Ofßome.' Her parents. and.we be
here herself, were members of Jennings'
church. 'f he family reposed the moat
impliet.confidence in ham, permitted him
torinike their house his home during the
abienett of his wife to the East ; requested
him to watch over the conduct of his
daughter and reprove her for her occasion
al - giddinese—in filet, rather placed her
under hie charge and bestowed upon him
a thousand expressions of confidence.
While they were doing this, he was
compassing her ruin. During a residence
of some weeks at her father's house he
had pecufiar opportunites for carrying on
his infernal purposes. After the girl had
been sent off to school her reverend se
dueer.opened a correspondence with her.
In these , letters ; various meetings and as
signations were appointed, some of which
were' fulfilled, and some providentially
mitteartled.. We are told that the style
of the letters written by Jennings to the
girl is,most disgustingly filthy.
The case is one of the most painful on
record, - Hitherto Jennings is said to have

The friends of BANKS have determined

These votes are slightly varied. as 'one or

Grow, Peareit, Todd e *Robinson, Coved°,
Knight, Ritchie, Pi/minuet), Alliion, and
Dick, for Banks; Tyson. Millward, Broom,
and Edie, for Fuller; Fuller throws his
vote away. It is not probable that an
election will be effected without a resort
to a plurality vote. The struggle is un-
Iderstood to turn on the construction of the

by Robert Tempt', and that gentleman,
with 16gsrs bteihens, of Georgia; 'nil
lard, of Alabama,
,paball of Florida, and
some otters, backed out _and voted for
Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, thus preventing
the election of Mr. Winthrop. When Mr.
Gentry arrived on the , following Monday,
he :withdrew his name, and , then Tootnbe
and company voted for Mr. Moorhead,
,rif
Kentucky. The Democrats dropped Cobb
and took tip William 3. Brown, running
his vote up to within two of being elected.
Brown had sueceeded in getting some Free
Soil votes, but the trick was exposed and
he was dropped.
Subsequently Messrs. Winthrop and
Wilmot withdrew their names, and voting
ensued, with no concentration by anipar
ty. The next wet* the Whigs and Dom
°date held caucuses and agreed that' a
plurality of votes should boa deemed an e
lection. The Toombs party worked des
perately to defeat this arrangement, but
were at length put down, and the mem.
hermit both parties agreed to ballot three
times more, and if no choice was made by
a majority of the votes, the person having
the highest vote on the fourth trial should
be declared the Speaiter. The three trials
were in vain, and on the aixty.fourth bal

votes, to 100 for Winthrop. 8 for IVilmot,

means the House organized on the 22nd

Financial Condition of the Com-
monwealth.
lICTIt will be seen by the statement
given below, that the fiscal concerns of the
State, under . the present Administration,
are in a very prosperous condition. It has
been thtioustom of our Democratic (cicada
when they were in power, to utter every
now and then a triumphant blast of the
trumpet in praise ofthe Executive or State
Treasurer—attributing to the unparalleled
exertions of those officern . whatever indica
tion of prosperity :night be exhibited by
the annual examination of ' the Treasury.
We do not desire to imitate them in this
respect, but only to call : attention :o the
with fact that all the giants did not die out with
the last Democratic ,Administration, and
that there are still a few !eft who have,
tome financial ability, and are competent
to take care of the pecuniary interests of
the Commonwealth. Thu statement is as
follows:
Balance in the Treasury,
Nov. 20, 1855. ;1,240,928 72
Receipts for the year 1855, 5,390,474 11

Expenditures for the year 1855, 5,385,705 52

the eame period are se follows :

Rama 0f1855 over 1854, 23,770 41
Tho condition of the Treasury as exhib
ited above is snob as must . be deeply grat
ifying to the people of the Comthenwealth.
It will bo seen that the February interest
may be paid . this year. without a resort to
a temporary loan, as formerly. In view
of all the facts. we may hope that this is
but the dawn of that brighter day in Penn

so long and so eagerly looking.—Hurns

FROM KANSAS.—The New York
papers have voluminous correspondence
from Kansasoo the 4th inst. No attack
had" been made upon Lawrence' but the ex
',gement among the people was on the in•
crease. One of the correspondents says
the invaders' camp contains nearly a thou
sand armed men, who are loud in their
threats against the "Abolition City." as
Lawrence is called. The citizens of Law
rence have been making no great prepara
tions to meat the mob, whose blustering,
indeed, they treat with proper contempt.
They are simply on the defensive, and
therein will resist to death. The Missou
rians. it seems, have dispatched their u/u -
rn/gum. but with all their fierce . display of
powei and pretension, they will never bo
able to bully the Free State men of Kan
sas into submission. A • public meeting
has been held in Lawromie, at which the
representations and excuses- made by Gov.
SHANNON, for calling out the militia, were
declared to be wholly false.
LATER.—A telegraphic dispatch from
St. Louis. dated the; 19th inst., states the
troubles at Lawrence had been settled, by
a promise °gibe part of the people of that
'place to deliver up the illedged offenders ,
against thelaws, and agreeing to recog
nize Gov. Shannon. They refuse, howev
er, to give up their arms. The Missouri
volunteers had disbanded, and were re 7
turning,to their. homes.
This despatch. though evidently defec
tive, may -be correct in the mein, as great
efforts were being made previously to bring
about an amicable adjustment of the diffi

The Foreign Pert/.
The anti-Amorican , papers are begin
ning to, feel very sore at being branded as
organs of the - foreign party. Upon this
subject the Lonisvillo Journal remarks :
"TheY say that there is an insignificant
foreign vote at the South. They don't
like nick names. They have called the
American. party the "mushroom oonspi
racy," the "dark lantern" party, and have
been very proftise.ii the epithet of "mar
dorers,""thugs." "church-burners," 'mid
night conspirators," and anything else that
is vile and criminal towards the' individual
members of the American party. They
have abused Amelia' and Americans ;
they have insulted the native born of the
country by prononneing them unfit to
govern themselves and lauded to the skies
the great mass of foreign immigrante s as
the only peo'ple in this country fit or ca
pable of exercising the rights of the popu
lar sovereignty, and noir forsooth they ob
ject-to be called the organs of the foreign
party. -
Therois boyetcd Nrlon a foreign party

have organised 'political associations as

They are opposed to Americanism. 'They

tial election, and they hope by a .00noen
tmtion of their strong ided by the
anti-American native. os, to con
tinue to control all out d national
elections. TheY have stun etermined to
do so by force of arms if necessary. A
gainst this combination of foreigners the
American party is contending. The A
mericans are struggling to retain their
birthright given to thorn by their fathers ;
they artrendeavoring to preserve the A
merican institutions which were founded
by the heroos of the revolution ; they are
seeking to perpetuate the American Union
and defend it against foes at home and a

American party, opposing the insolent ag.
greasions of foreigners, and those who op
pose them not only deserve, but are really

party.

ing that they should be treated precisely
the same as 'Democratic' Senators, so far as
concerned the distribution of places on the
committees, but the proposition was respect
fully deilined.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST ?
The Nashville Gazelle asks the question,
""How long will the American party last
and answers, ""as long as there is patrio
tient in the land ; as long as our people ral
ly around home, principle, republicanism;
ps long as the stars and stripes can catch the
eye and thrill the soul ; as long as the mew.
ory of the great, tho heroic, and the good .
of our fathers is cherished ; as long as there
is an enemy to our institutions in the land ;
as long as•politieians insult common sense,
the right, the sentiments of the people'; as

Messrs. A. S. Mitchell & Co.
Glittret—Eneload please find two dol
lars which "consider your due on the pres

ly Intelligencer. To "live and let live"
is and ever- has been my motto. and I
cannot for my - life see • how editors can
sustain themselves in their business, with
out an advance in the,price of publishing ,
and advertising. Their rents are much
higher now than a few years ago; paper,
type, and ink are higher—light and • fuel
higher—lood and raiment_ higher—think
mg costs more—their workmen get larger
salaries—in tact, all that is esential to their
support, Cr the successful prosecution of
their importatit profession. has gone up
at least fifty per cent. Then, how ran
can they live without proportional prices
for their labor? It would seem almost
impossible, and yet wo hear of no strike
for an advance. Perhaps they are afraid
to make the venture, not knowing what
the consequences might be.
Such being the case, it is evidently the
duty of their patrons to, strike for them,
adding, say fifty per cent, to the present
rates. If they will do this, (and I think
they will, this useful class of men will get
along ranch better. sot infinitely more
independent—feel vastly more comforta
ble—think and indite more profusely,
more elaborately and with greater alacrity;
advocate that which is right, fair, just and
honorable, more zealously, more vehem
ently, and more successfully ; and de
nounce repudiate and condemn that which
is wrung. unjust and dishonorable or
mean, with greater energy, greater force
and more efectually. Under this con
viction, then, I break the ice, believing
that thousands, more able, more liberal
and not less willing, will immediatly fol
low the example. B. B.
The above is an instance of charitable
consideiMion for newspaper publishers
highly grateful to the craft. None but
those whose fortune it has been to have
bad the experience, can appreciate the vex

If every printing establishment could
have a settlement once a year with eaoh
subscriber, its affairs would be conducted
almost on the cash system ; but the ruin
ously lengthy credits, thut the thoughtless

constant expenditure of capital required to
carry 'on the business, a matter of serious

serA suit was brought in Jersey City
last week, against the New• York and E
rie Railroad Company, by Lewis Barnum,
of Jersey City, for an overcoat which was
stolen from his seas in the care on that
road. The• train stopped at Port Jervis,
and the Plaintiff, seeing a notice posted
in the oars that passengers, in order to
keep their seals, must have some article of
baggage or wearing apparel in them, left
his overcoat there while he went into the
refreshment saloon. Upon returning he
discovered that his overcoat had been sto
len. The Company declined to pay for it
•he ened them, and the Justice decided in
his favor. New Jersey has immortalised
itself by recent decisions concerning lost
overcoats and stolen umbrellas.

COURT DOESOB,—.The Special Court
sat until a late hour on Saturday night, and.
met at 8 o'clock, on Sunday morning, to re
ceive the verdict, of the jury in the Lilly and
Hafer case. But two cases were disposed of
additional to those mentioned last Week,—
The remainder of the list was continued.
Elinfbeth Trimmer vs. Jacob 8. Hollinger
--Summons in trespass for taking, carrying
and driving away from the premises of PIA'.
certain personal property, consisting of a wa
gon, two horses, three cows, one calf, &c.—
Hollinger became the assignee° of David Trim
mer under a deed of voluntary assignment for
the benefit of creditors in 1853. The estate
being thought to be. solvent, $3OO worth of
property was appraised, and set aside for the
benefit of Trimmer. A few days after, Trim
mer transferred the property so 'appraised to
his daughter Elizabeth,. (the Plaintiff in this
action,) in consideration of wages due her for,
having workedfor him and his family over
age, and also iu considemtioil that she would
attend to the future support ofkinufeif and wife.
Upon the sale of the real estate the estate
warrfound to be insolvent, and the Assignee
claimed the property appraised, it having been
left, as was alledged, with the' Assignor upon'
condition that, in case the estate should prove
insolvent, the yroperty should be passed over
to the Assignee. Elizabeth Trimmer claimed'
legal possession under the transfer from her
father, and refused to surrender it The As
signor went to the premises, re-took the prop
erty above named, and sold it and applied the
proceeds to the claims of Trimmer's creditors.
Whereupon this action. Verdict for Plaintiff
$273 23 and costs.
John Lilly vs. William Hafer. An no
tion to recover damages for a suit alledg
ed to have been brought without probable
Buse, &c. This case was somewhat novel
and peculiar, there probably being no similar
case on record in the Courts of Pennsylvania,
and as such commanded a good deal of interest.
Hafer ROM time ago brought suit against
Lilly on a Note for $2OO given in 1846, but a
baudoued the'suit, not appearing on the arbi
trntion and suffering n non-suit. The present
action was brought b/ Lilly for the recovery
of damages for expenses, trouble, &c., incurred
by him in attending the former snit, alledging
that the note referred to lied been forged, and
that in attempting to recover it Hafer had
been guilty of instituting a meliciolis suit, with
out probable cause ■ &c. The note was not
produced in this trial,,the defendant alledging
that it had been lost. Plaintiff called a num
ber of witnesses who had.seeb the note at the
arbitration to prove that the signature was not
Mr. Lilly's. Defendant maintained that Plai
ntiff's witnesses were mistaken. in. thnirAndr.
mint bf the sigetiitire--that the note'was a
genuine ontygiyOiLilly, for a balance due
on settlement atiaminigs--audgalled witness
es to rebut Plaintiff's allegations, as also to
prove the execution of the note. The case
was given tuilitOury at a late bout on Sat
urdny night. Verdict for Defendant.

stating his experience and observations among
that remarkable people. There are but few
nations of which so little is known as the Ja
panese. For long ages they have been cutoff'
from "outside barbarians," by a rigidly enfor
ced. system of non-intercourse, and yet they
have attained a very high degree of excellence
in many of the fine arts, and supply fabrics of
rare elegance and finish. The visit of Corn.

ports to Government were rend with keen inter.

Maraeken's Invaluable Remedy The Pennsylvimiii ,Telegraph.
FOR THE RESTORATION A PRESERVATION ENLOGED FORM--REDUCED TERMS
OF THE HUMAN HAIR.
AFTER man y years of laborious research
and expe riment, I have the gratification
to announce to those of the public who may bo
afflicted with baldness or premature grey hair,
that I have succeeded in the preparation of an
article that is an infallible remedy for either of
these disorders. For a considerable length
of time I have been in the habit of using it up
on my own customers, and in no instance has
it failed to render the most entire satisfirction.
Having long entertained the belief that, in a
vast majority of cases, Baldness and prema
ture greyness were induced by disease, or want
of vigor and vitality of the scalp, rather than
being the necessary consequence of mere cc
cumulation of years.
My whole attention was directed to the din.
covery of some preparation, which, by rumor
ing the dandruff and other foreign matter
which, in spite of the utmost precaution, will
collect upon the scalp, would restore to this
part all its vigor anal vitality, and thus remove
the great cause of both these diseases. In
offering this preparation to the public, I have
full confidence that it will not disappoint the
expectations of many who may feel inclined to
give it a fair and impartial trial. It more ef
fectually, than any other preparation, removes
the dandruff and cleanses the head, thus re•
moving all obstacles to the growth of a new
and luxuriant crop of hair. For the prema
ture grey, it restores to the hair the free circu
lation of its natural fluid, and, in an almost in
credibly short time, brings to it its natural
healthfulness and color. Altliough this prep..
aration has never been brought before the
public through the medium of advertising, yet
by its own inherent virtues, it has won its way
into favor in many of the counties of this. ind
neighboring States. At the solicitation Air
Many of my friends and patrons. who have
been benefitted by it, I have been induced to
give it to the public, and in doing this, I do it
with the confident assurance that any who may
try it, will find it to possess all the merit claim
ed for it.
In case of partial baldness, when used a•
greeably to directions, this Restorative hits not
failed, in a single instance,
to produce a luxu•
riant growth of the natural hair.
In the hands of mothers and nurses, it is a
capital curntion for all those / diseases of
the i calp incident to infant children.
In fine, as a toilet article, it should be in the
hands of all who wish to expel! the dandruff,
preserve the hair, prevent it from falling off,
and render it soft, glossy and wavy.
