Harrisburg,h, April 'a, 1846.
This was a flay of great excitement in the House.—
The Right of Waybill, or rather Kutdde's amendment,
was discussed by Messrs Eigham, Bun ell and Ma
geehan. Mr Burrell's speech was a masterly effort
—the best he has made; indeed it is conceded to be
eke great speech of the session; all admire it, and the
friend's of the measure pronounce it unanswerable .
• Col ildageehan, followed Mr Burrell in defence of the
bill; he dared the Pennsyltiattia opponents to discuss
it on its merits; he charged them with cowatdice—
compared them to the Italian Brigands and other assail
sins. After Mr Mageehan took his seat, Mr Burnside
it ok the floor, in reply—he referred to the journals to
.chow that tho members from the Southern tier of
counties opposed the main line of the Pennsylvania
Canal, &c. but never touched the question at Issue.
At six o'clock, the House adjourned. Ab=ent. Messrs

the morning of otii- national birthday, the fourth of

report through their Chairman, Thomas Jefferson—
and by whom it was read, the house paused—hesita

marks of which remain to this time. These things
am vouched for by her mother, who is a **expectable

Tae POTATOE.—A farmer in Vermont last season
was behind all his neighbours in cutting his grass in hi.
meadows. At night some waggish boys went into one
of his meadows, and cut down all the grass in it.—
Tlu•y also went into his potato patch and cut a few
swathes throw h it. At the time of digging the pain,
toes, they were found rotten, except where the boys
had , cut of the tops, and there they were all found
good and sound. This would seem to show that rho
disease begins in the tops, and it suggests as a means ,
ofsm.ing a crop the cutting off the tops so soon as the
tops began to die.

The Calamity at Owego —The Owego Adveni
ser of the 9.4 th ult. contains the following particulars
of the melancholy catastrophe at that village, which
resulted in the loss of four lives. The Bath stage nos
swamped this morning. just on the verge of alto vil
loge, having crossed the bridge over the Owego creek.
and the driver, three passengers and one horse were
drowned. There were four passengers, of whom one
only,: Mr Swages, of Candor. ear:aped. From bin ac
count, it appears, that after having crossed the bad=e,
the horses plunged into deep water, having probably
diverged from the road. Three of the passengers
became so frightened that they jumped out and wear
instantly overwhelmed by the rushing waters. Tte
driver also threw op the reins and jumped off. and wan
instantly lost. Mr Sturges seems to have had mote
presence of mind, and though sitting (utile hack seat,
he made his way forward, seized the lines, sprang to
the top of the stage and culled for 1. 1 4 p.
At that early hour. about 4 o'rlocit, A M . few re,r
-' sans were stirring. but be was .10011 heol,l by Mr. J. G.
Grans, wino put off in a canoe and rescued him. Mr.
Starg,es walked to the village and gave the alarm, and
soon after it was light, several of our citizens went to
the spot. The stage roach wan found some rods below
the road, on the flats of C. F. Johnson, capsized with
all the baggage secure, including two mail bags. Ni
bodies were found.
The water was about four feet deep on the road. on
the south side of which was rt deep gulley, and the
current was very strong. Mr. S thinks Ilia: nil wou'cl
have been saved had they kept to the stage, but their
fears predominated, and they plunged into the stream,
supposing that they would land in the road. It un
fortunately happened that they jumped nut of the amnia
side into deep water, and bring encumpered with coats
and cloaks, and chilled by the water, they could not
evert themselves. Mr. S. thinks they did nut live five
minutes after they jumped off. Tim persons lost are
Truman F Rose, of Otsego county, W. Conkling, of
Ulster, Pa.,- Thomas Bowen. (the driver,) and Inane
tinthans, o colored man, belonging to Elmira. The
were all young men, and tile first named hod been
teaching school in Pennsylvania, and was returning
to visit his friends.
Our Citizen), with many from Tinge, rallied for the
purpose of searching for the bodies, and succeeded
in in finding that of the negro. who has been decently
buried by our colored population It is probable that
he other three have been swept into he river.
NOTH ER WON DELL—The Newark Daily Adverti
ser furnishes an account of a young woman living in
Middletown. Monmouth county, N. J who exhibited
certain magnetic phenomena. The paper says that
the p•rsan is now seventeen years of age. The ac
count is derived from two clergymen of Middletown,
who hate visited the patient:
"For four years pact she has been afflicted with
some mysterious nervous disorder, which Luis confined
her to her bed nearly that
...whole period. At first it
assumed the form of St Vitus' Dance, which was fol—
lowed some time afterwards with a remarkable sensi—
tiveness of the whole surface of the body, that made
the slightest touch very painful, until recently it has ta
ken on its present morvellons character. She eats
on anaverage not more than bairn cracker in 29 hours
and her bowels operate once in forty days—yet her
face and entire body remain full and plump, while the
skin preserves the fairness and freshness of health.
This may be considered as belonging to the preter
natural and the physical; what follow s has relation to
the supernatural and spiritual.
She falls into a sort of tranceor catalepsy, in which
condition her soul passes into the other world. Heaven
is opened to her and she is able to see and converse
with its blessed inhabitants. They have, she says,
constant intercourse with this world. Deceased per.
sons become the guardian angels of those in whom they
felt a special inserest while living. She told one of the
clergymen present at this interview, wbo lived in thit
neighborhood, and had lost a child a short time before,
that she saw the child's spirit looking over his should.

his study. ,

New Haven on the Bth of May ensuing. Last year
higs had 112, inembers—the .Democritts

This statement .assumes importance becattae it de
volves upon the legislature to elect a Goveinor. and
other State officers, if they fail of election by a ma
jority,of all others combined. It is certain theta ma
jority of votes have not been cast for either of the
candidates for Governor, and therefore the coninitu.

yards distant, and the swallow could scateely excel
my desperate flielat yet, as I turned my head to the
shore, I could see two dark of j•mts /birthing threuo
Idle underbrush, at a pace neatly double that of my
own. By 1 heir greet speed, and the short yells which
they occasionally gove, I knew at once that they were
the much dreaded grey wo'f.
,
71 had never met with these animals. but from the
description given of them, I had but little pleasure in
making their acrlaintance. Their untameable firce.
nese, and the untiring strength which seems a part
of their nature, render them objects of dread to every
benighted traveller.
"With their long gallop which can tire,
The hound's den bate, the hunter's fire,
they pursue their prey, and nought but death can sere
ante them. The freshet !but skirted the shore flew
past with the velocity of light, as I dashed on in my
flight. The outlet was nearly gained; one. second
more and I would be comparatively safe, when my
pursuers appeared on the honk directly above tnes
which here rose to the height of some ten feet...—
There was nn time for thought, I bent my head anti
dashed madly forward. The wolves sprang, but mire
celculeting my speed, sprang behind, while their in
tended prey glided out into the river.
Nature turned me towards home. The light flakes
of snow spun from the iron of my skates, and 1 was
some distance from my pursuers, when their fierce
howl told me that I was again the fugitive. I did
not look back, I did not look, I did not feel afraid
or sorry or glad; one thought of home; of the bright
faces awaiting my return, of their tears if they never
should again see me, and then every enolgy of body
and mind was exerted for escape. I was yolked) ,
at home on the ice. Many were the days that I spent
on ray skates, never thinking that at one time they
would be my only means of safety. Every half min.
ate an alternate yelp from my fierce attendants made
me but to certain that they were in close pursuit.—
Nearer and nearer they came; I heard their feat pats
tering on the ice neater still, until 1 fancied I could
hear their deep breathing. Every nerve and muscle
in my fiatno was stretched to their utmost tension.
The trees along the share seemed to dance in the
uncertain light, and my brain turned with my owl,
breathless spoed,yet still they seamed to hiss forth
with a sound truly horrible, when an involuntary mo
Ition on my part turned me out of my course. The
wolves close behind unable to stop, and as unable to
tarn, slipped, fell, still going on far ahead, their
Longues were lolling out, their white tushes gleaming
from their bloody mouths, their dark shaggy breasts
were freckled with foam, and as they passed mo their
eyes glared, and they howled with rage and fury.—
The thought flashed on me mind that by this means I
could avoid them, viz: by turning aside whenever
they came too near, for they, by the formation of their
feet; ate unable to ran on ice except in a right line.
I immediately acted upon this plan. The wolves
having regained their feet sprung directly towards
me. The race was renewed for tweniy yards up the
stream; they were already close un my back, when I
glided around, and dashed directly pant my pursuers.
A fierce fall greeted my evolution, and the wolvesslip
pad upon their haunches suited onward, presenting a
perfect picture of betrilestmess and baffled rage.—
Thus I gained nearly a hundred yards at each turning.
, This was repeated two or three times. Every moment
the wolves getting more excited and baffled, until
coming opposite the house, a couple of stag hounds,
aroused by the noise keyed Ai:lonely front their ken*
