XO" In another column it will be seen that
valuable farm, near New Washington, is of
fered at private sale, by Mr. Joux Siiktter.
This is a good piece of land, in a good locali
ty, and possesses excellent and commodious
improvements. See card.
CP"1 The 'Corporal' in bis perigrinatiusa few
days since, while searching for the 'Know Noth
ings,' observed a crowd pouring into the room
next door to the Journal office. Of course he
followed, but discovered the cause of attrac
tion to be a splendid and cheap assortment of
boots and shoes, recently opened there by C.
S. Black. From the excellent quality of his
work, the 'Corporal' come to the conclusion
that Charley did'nt belong to the Order.
IT?- It will be seen that D. W. Bobbins &
Co., at Lumber city, have dissolved partner
ship. The Books and accounts are in the
hands of D. W. Robbiss for settlement.
By reference to the Brigade Orders, in
another column, it will be seen that an election
is to be held for Major, in place of Thos. IT
Fcltox, deceased. We hope they may get as
good a man to fill the station, as our lamented
friend.

and the public, that he has removed his busi
ness Stand two doors cast of the Journal oflice,
in. Graham's Row, where he will be happy to
attend to those who may give him a call.
. jy If any of our friends have legal business
to transact in Philadelphia, they cannot place
it in better hands, than our lneml ash, xj
Bladik, Esq.. whose card may be found in an
other column. He is a good lawyer and a
clever fellow, and will do Tull justice to his cli
en'ta. Office No. 6G South 6th St.
We request the attention of our readers
to the card of Hughes & Irvin in another
column, the proprietors of the Tyrone City
Hotel. Give them a call, when you visit Ty
zone, if you wish to be well treated, and get
acquainted with a couple of clever fellows.
C!7"We see by a card in another part of our
paper, that our friend Hartshorn, whom we
announced sometime since as having retired
to private life, lias again launched his craft, at
Lumber City. Hartshorn & McCeakes, are
a pair of "sound eggs," as the boys say, and
if you want cheap goods just give them a call
C7" We call attention to the list of Sheriff's
Sales in another column, by which it will be
seen that a large quantity of valuable property
will be exposed to sale at the September Court.
Speculators will have a first rate opportunity
to make profitable investments.
C3" The Clearfield Academy will he opened
on the 4th of September next, under the di
rection of W. A. Campbell, A. B. This in
stitution is much needed, and we hope, as the
trustees have gone to a great deal of trouble
to secure the services of a good and compe
tent Principal, that it will be well sustained by
our citizens."
CC7 We call the attention of painters, and
others to the fact, that a large and excellent
upply of White Lead and Linseed Oil, has
just been received at Mossor & Fottarff's.
C7"The new System adopted by Mossor
Pottarff of selling goods at city prices, has
succeeded admirably, although they purchesed
the largest stock ever befor brought to the
county, and recruted several times since
spring, the demand has still exceeded the
supply. They are again getting on a new and
splended assortment which they will offer for
sale on the same terms.
CyBy refference to another column it will
be seen that the partnership heretofore exis
ting between Geo W. Ohk & John Klincer,
has been dissolved. The buisness will still be
carried on as usual br Mr. Orr and the books
ar in hir hands for collection.
E7"Therc is a tremendous excitement now
at Ulman's, Clothing Store, next door to the
office of L. J. Crans Esq. Mover is selling off
.at cost, and the low price of his goods lias a
larmed all our tailors, and dealers in ready
made clothing. If you want a cheap suit,
call immediately.
C7"Many of our readers, find it difficult to
.obtain- at all times, certain drugs and niedi
,cines at home, and will therefore be gratified
to learn that by sending to Tyrone they can
procure them at the Store of Dr. James M
Martin. Se card in another column.

FEARFUL ELECTION 1UOT IN ST.
LOUIS.
Three Ken Killed Large Number' Wounded
Fiem Fiity to Sixty Houses Destroyed.
Monday (election day) was a time of unu
ii.il excitement and bloody rit in St. Louis.
The difficulty commenced in the Filth Ward,
and was occasioned by an Irishman stabbing
an American. This was the signal for a gene
ral attack, which was commenced upon the
Irish doggeries on Mayor and Green streets,
and Washington avenue, and on the whole
front of the Levee, from Cherry street to be
low Locust street.
The crowd supplied themselves with axes
and other implements of the sort, from the
steamboats at the wharf, and with them beat
in the shutters and smashed the counters and
everything that would yield to blows. On the
Levee, between Cherry and Locust streets,
there are only one or two houses at most, that
do not bear disastrous marks of the conflict; at
Locust street the damage stopped.
We could only learn with certainty of one
death. It is rumored that there are four or
five killed. The number of the wounded we
have no means of estimating. From the re
ports rife on the spot, and from the fact that
hundreds of discharges were heard during the
course of the row, "which raged a good two
hours in all its fury, and has continued at in
tervals thus far during the night, it is fair to
presume that the number is large.
We have been able, up to the present time
to obtain with certainty only the following
names :
Josenh Arnot or Arnold, a Frenchman,
working on the canal boat Burlinston, and
iust arrived from Chicago, killed. He was
not in the affray, and was shot down almost
immediatelv ori leavius the boat to see what
was going on.
Jackson Fowler, mate, was shot in the left
side.
James Russell, pilot, was shot in the arm.
A man whose name we did not learn, re
ceived a stab in the back, under the left arm.
the point of the weapon coming out at the left
breast.
Wounded men were constantly borne up
from the Levee to Broadway, during the time
of the fiirht. and such terror reigned in the
neighborhood that the stores of Broadway and
on Fourth street, for some distance down,
were closed and remained closed during the
afternoon and evening.
The greatest excitement prevails at the
time of writimr. There is talk on the streets
of a project to attack the College, which pro
bably has its origin in the heated imaginations
of some terrified Irishmen. The office of the
Anzciscr has alreadv been once attacked with
stones, and as we write, crowds are rushing
down Third street in that direction, shouting,
"Bcerestein! Berestein!" The military,
however, are under arms, and on the alert;
and we anticipate no further damage to life or
property..
Eight companies of militia are in readiness,
of which three have just passed our oflice in
fine order, marching towards the point now
threatened the Continentals, the Washington
Guards, and the National Guards.
The militia companies have formed a double
line in such a manner as effectually to protect
the office of the Anzeiger, stretching across
Third, near the mouth of Chesnut and Market
streets, and the alley back of the Anzeiger of
fice, in such a way as to prevent all access.
About ten arrests have been made. The
prisoners were lodjred in the calaboose, with
the exception of the fellow with whom the
fight commenced. He was subsequently re
moved to the jail, as a rescue Mas feared. It
is said that he is an Irishman, that he stabbed
a man in the crowd round the polls in the Fifth
Ward, and then dropped his knife and ran.
lis was pursued for several squares, and final
ly caught.
As nearly as we can learn three men are al
readj' dead from the effects of the wounds re
ceived in the riot, and two are not expected
to survive.
As we write, (midnight,) there arc flying
rumors of rioters gathering in the neighbor
hood of the College, corner of Ninth and
Green. There has been more or less disturb
ance and alarm there since the rioting ltegan,
but we hope and selieve that the worst i3 past,
and that quiet is restored for the night.
At one o'clock this morning, the military
had retired, and Third street, in the neighbor
hood of the Anzeiger office was quiet, but
even at that late hour there were small knots
of the rioters scouring the northern part
of the city, yelling and throwing stones.
Some fifty or more were engaged tearing out
the inside of P. Brady's doggery, corner of
Morgan and Fifth streets. This house was
mobbed early in the afternoon, but the crowd
reruming did the work well, not leaving a
whole door or window, and not a particle of
furniture within. This is the third time with
in a few years that houses on that corner have
been sacked.
On Morgan and Green streets, extending
west from Broadway, not an Irish grocery is
left, all being torn to pieces, ami the houses
more or less injured- A frame row at the cor
ner of Filth and Green, suffered severely, the
weather boarding being split and torn by
stones, and all the windows and doors smash
ed in.
At a late hour, when it was deemed safe for
persons to pass along the riotous district, we
turned out for the purpose of procuring a list
of the houses and their location, but found
such a multitude on the streets named, that
we were compelled to give it up for a more
seasonable hour. At a rough estimate there
are not less than fifty or sixty houses, chiefly
Irish doggeries -of the lowest order, badly
damaged, and their contents destroyed. To
estimate the loss we are unable, but should
guess it not much short of ?50,000. All this
besides the mnrder and maiming, was the
work of but a few hours. The police force
was entirely insufficient and for nearly three
hours the excited multitude had full sway.
After the appearance of the military compara
tive order was restored; but up to the hour of
going to press this morning there were small
squads moving here and there, but apparently
without ability to do further mischief.
Which is it!
One of Gov. Bigler's organs recently stated
that it was "entirely beneath the dignity of a
Governor of Pennsylvania, to travel all over
the State making stump speeches and drink
ing bad whiskey." The Gov. however, has
since announced his willingness to take the
stump.
Now as the phrase of "taking the stump" is
rather ambigous in this poriion of the back
woods, and as the Governor's organ thinks it
necessary to drink "bad whiskey ' as he goes
along, we would mearly ask for information
which stump he means to take? Whether it is
the political stunip, or the stump of a glass of
"bad whiskey," or both Alleghanian
ny We do not know who the editor of the
Philadelphia Argus is, but judge from the
maniac articles republished from that sheet in
the locofoco papers of the interior, but a twad
dling fool who thinks every one as silly as him
self. His keepers in the custom house had
best hitch him to the tow-line of a canal boat
the place for which nature evidently designed
him. Lewistoun Gazette
Abuse of the Pardoning Power.
The following extract, is from the "North
hampton Farmer," a Democratic paper, wtih
the names of the Democratic candidates flying
at its masthead.
Our town was thrown into the most intense
excitement on Tuesday last, by the intelligence
that Gov. Bigler, by a pardon, had released
Dr. Lachenour from imprisonment. Never,
upon any occasion, or from any cause, have we
witnessed such unanimity of condemnation of
an act, or so deep and hearty anathemas evok
ed upon the head of the man who committed
it.
The people of this community feci it to be
an outrage upon the Court and Jury who pa
tiently sat for three long weeks, affording this
man every opportunity of prov'eiug his inno
cence of the foul charge of conspiracy of rob
bing, by the most infamous means, an imbe
cile, weak old man of his money that every
nriucinle of law whhrh individuals and commu
nities look to for protection from the hand of
the assassin and the foul conspirator, has been
trodden under foot by Gov. Bigler, in thus
releasing this roan from the rightious judge
ment of the law which had been imposed upon
him.
. We call upon the people to pause. Gov.
Bigler may be able to justify this act, by the
facts and circumstances presented for his con
sideration, which we think he is bound to
make public. Nay, we demand that he m ake
them public, for if he refuse if he does noth
ing to convince the people of this county that
he jvas justifiable in interfering with, and set
ting aside a verdict and sentence which nine
teen twentieths of our citizens considered
right and just, he will find that, hi despite of
all the efforts of those few higs wnosc lnenu-
ship and support he has secured by this act,
the people will pronounce such a judgement
upon him at the ballot-box, as will convince
him that the verdicts of our juries, and the
scutence of our Courts, are not to be trampled
under foot, even by a Governor.
If Gov. Bicler, is" satisfied that Dr. Lache
nour, is innocent, if he has been "shown that
the verdict of the iury was erroneous or the
sentence intolerable, whv did he stop where
he has whv does he suffer innocent men to
be incarcerated in a State Prison why not
liberate those men? If he is justifiable in par-
donin:r one be is in pardoning all, and the peo
ple will demand it of him. Petitions are al
ready in circulation a public meeting will be
held the Goveruormust extend las clemency
to them, and not suffer them to remain there
until "after the election" the time at which
it is said, he has agreed to liberate them. It
would not only be just, but good policy, for
they are democrats and will deposit in the bal
lot box an article which he will be very snort
of in this country unless he take some effectu
al means of satisfying the people fliat lie is
iustifiable in what he has already done.
Two poor young men were sentenced to six
months imprisonment in the county jail and a
fine of $50 and costs. Their time expired.
They were unable to pay the fine, and were
kept there for three months on account of their
poverty. Our Commissioners petitioned the
Governor to remit the fine, stating the utter
inability of the prisoners to pay, that they were
only an expense to the conmty. Gov. Bigler
treated the Commissioners with silent con
tempt he never even noticed them. In the
case of this millionaire, in opposition to the
will of the community, almost to a man, the
Governor remits the line robs the county of
$2500 whicn was her just due as the penalty
of this man's crimes, and refuses to give us
anything in justification, or even in cxplaan
tion of his course. These things will not do,
and Gov. Bigler will thus find it before he is
many months older.
If Governors have the power to thus sot
aside and render nugatory the doings of our
Courts of Justice if a Governor can, with im
punity, trample every principal of law and jus
tice under foot, then we say, abolish our courts,
do not call our citizans to serve for weeks as
jurymen, hand offenders over to the Gover
nor, and let him deal with them according as
his interest or his prejudice shall dictate.
Synopsis of the Decisions of the Superintendent
of Common Schools.
The God section of the school law authori
zes everj' board of Directors to levy the spe
cial tax for building school houses, and con
fers the same authority upon boards of Con
trollers in cities and boroughs, where the school
property is vested in them .
Trustees of school property held by them
for the general use of a neighborhood, and
dedicated to common "school purposes,"
should convey the same to the school district
in which it is located, upon the same terms
and lor the same uses for which it was convey
ed to the Trustees; but they can not be com
pelled to make such conveyences. Whenev
er such property ceases to be used for school
purposes, the ownership will revert to the
grantors, their heirs or assigns.
The law requires Directors to provided for
not less than lour months schooling for every
individual in their districts "above the ape of
five and under twenty-one years." They can
not, therefore, be compelled to admit individ
uals above the age of twenty-one years, but
arc not prohibited from doing so.
Directors can not be required to employ
teachers competent to give instruction to deaf
and dumb pupils.
The 20th section of the school law is strictly
penal in its nature; and, like all such laws, can
only be enforced by the Courts. The opinion
of the Superintendent, therefore, as to the con
struction it may properly bear, is merely ad
visory. Should any citizen feel that the sec
tion had been, violated, he could institute a
prosecution, as in any other criminal case.
The court and jury would determine the law
as well as the guilt or innocence of the accu
sed, without being controlled by the opinion
of the Superintendent of Common Schools, or
perhaps even being influenced by it. . The ob
ject of the section is to prevent imposition up
on the public in the selection and introduction
of school books, to prevent changes being
made from iecuniary motives, to guard and
protect the reputation and good names of the
Directors who determine what books shall be
used in the schools, and to give a guaranty to
the public that books will uot and cannot be
imposed upon them from unworthy selfish mo
tives, &c, and hence the construction given
the section by the Superintendent, published
in the last number of the School Journal.
Hamilton Cocntt (Ohio) Democr atic Con
vention. Cincinnati, August 12. The Ham
ilton County Democratic Convention met at
Carthage to day, for the purpose of nomina
ting candidates for Congress and county offi
cers. The Committee on resolutions reported the
Baltimore platform as soon as the afternoon
proceedings commenced. Great excitement
prevailed. The Know Nothing question was
introduced, and its organization denounced.
Charles Reenielin, Esq., who was a delegate,
said it was inconsistent to denounce them
while the Democrats had a secret organization,
refering to the Miami tribe of which a Uni
ted States Senator, George E. Pugh, was the
chief.
The lie was given to this assertion. Mr.
liecmelin was severely attacked, and finally
had to fly, after which the Convention broke
up in a row, without nominating any one, or
passing any resolutions.
The Greytown Claims.
Letters from Washington announce that re
clamations of the wanton destruction of pro
perty at Greytown, by the heroic Ilollins, are
coming in. French citizens claim tne rounu
sum ot $600,000. M. de Barronelle claims
$300,000. The English claim has not yet been,
made, but it isjeported that it will exceed the
French in amount. One English merchant
had eighty-six large packages of valuable mer
chandise destroyed, which was destined for
the western coast. There are also Grenadian
and Spanish merchants who will have heavy
claims, amounting to over half a million.
The claims of American citizens will doubt
less be much larger than those of any other
class, since the principal part of the buildings
belonged to them. They will claim a million
and a half, or two millions. The entire losses
by the victory of Ilollins, Marcy and Borland
may thus be set down at not less than three
millions of dollars, to be paid by the American
Government. These claims will probably be
attended to by Congress immediately after
those for the French Spoliations, previous to
the year 1800, unless the sufferers see fit to
distribute them to the first Congress that shall
have the magnanimity to see them adjusted,
the proceeds to be divided equally among those
who may hold seats at the time. In no other
way will they probably be paid in the coming
half century.
Ixdan Battle on the Plains. The St.
Louis Republican states that an Indian battle
recently took place at the "Buffalo Grounds,"
about 100 miies beyond Fort Riley, between
700 Cheyencs and Arrapahoes, and 400 Dele
ware Pottowatomies and Sacs. The former
had over fifty of their party killed, while the
latter lost only some three or four. This dif
ference, considering the disparagement in
numlicrs is accounted for by the fact that the
latter were armed with rifles, while the former
had but few fire arms, and depended upon bows
and arrows.
