CT A young man who understands the tail
oring business, will find a good berth, either as
a partner or foreman, with J). S Plotxer, at
Js'ew Washington, after the 1st cf May next.
37" In passing through Philipsburg, some
time ro, we had occasion to stop with David
Joussrov, who keeps the 'Philipsburg Hotel.'
and we must say, we never sat down to a bet
ter tabl, or ir.tA with a more gentlemanly, ac
commodating landlord. AVe advise ail our
friends who are fond of good accommodations
to stop with 'Squire Johnston. Sec notice.
C7The general complaint about 'hard times'
should induce us to be cautious, and endeavor
to purchase cheap and substantial goods. These
merchants who have this object in view, when
laying in their stock,wiildowcllto call at Pail
& Taylor's Wholesale Boot, Shoe and Straw
Goods Wharehouse, No. 255 Market St., PLil'a.
C7"The best Tobacco establishment in Phil

hould call at the new Restaurant, in the base
ment of Hemphill's Hotel, where our friend
Charley Oreaff, will be delighted to accom
modate them. Charley's sound on the ;goose
question." See Card, in another column.
C7It is feared that the result of the Elec
tion in Xcw York has proved unfavorable, but
tha result of an examination of Jas. B. Gra
ham's splendid assortment of fall & winter
foods at his store in Grahampton, will prove
highly satisfactory. Call and try it.
. 23" Wa presume most of our citizens reccol
lect an estimable young man named J. B.
Booxe, formerly of this county. He may now
be found at the large and splendid Boot and
Shoo House of Boker, Brothers Joses,Xo.
158 & 100 Market St., Philadelphia, where he
will be happy to meet his large circle of Clear
field acquaintances and to accommodate thorn
with a cheap and elegant stock of city and eas
tern made boots and shoes. Give him a call,
W a!?ver felli, and is with god firm.
C7"It was aTiuounced.'a few weeks ago, that
a wn'a of Brigham Young, the Great Ram of
the Mormon fold, was to deliver a series of lec
tures on Polygamy, as practiced among that
people and especially her own experience on
the subject. From a second letter from this
run-away wife, in a recent number of the Bos
ton Times, we are inclined to believe "Sarah
Young" she retains the patriarch's name a
great humbug, or Brigham a great rascal.
She expresses a fear that he will endeavor to
reclaim her as a fugitive but denies the legal
ity of her marriage, alleging that he had more
than twenty other wives when she married
him enough, we should say, to put a prudent
woman on her guard! She also states that
Brigham has a great secret think of a man,
with twenty or thirty wives, haviDg a secret!
no less than a plot to upset the Ujiion.
Hear her:
"There are two very important secrets in
Mormonism, of which none but the head lea
ders are aware, and they arc brought to it by
the most solemn oath. A part of this informa
tion I obtained from papers that I found. One
morning after Young left my bed, I discover
ed under the pillow a paper, of which I have
a copy. It is a secret plot, contrived to over
throw this government. In that package I
also found the plan of a fort; at the top of the
plan it siid, 'Three tiers, two hundred and six
guns each.' I also heard one of the leaders
say 'Uncle Sam would not disturb them before
they got the under ground works done, and
they should not then fear the whole United
States army, willi their Scotts and Wools.'"
This I heard by eaves-dropping, besides a
great deal more, ol which I have not time to
write. The Indians have had the promise that
all of the laud that has been taken from them
shall be returned. Mr. Young pretends to be
their friend, and they all, to a man, will fight
for him and the Mormons. Kotonly one tribe,
but all the chiefs in the far west are favorable
to the cause and to that people. I hey will
all follow their chiefs, and with their help, af
ter they have the ground fixed for battle the
emigrants to and from California wUl find no
mercy. You will also hear them boast of their
strength and bid defiance to any power. They
sav thev will also appoint their Governor of
Utah, and they mean to enlarge their Territo
ry and extend it to the Pacific, and as farnorth
and south as they like. I can toll more than
I have time to writh." Do, Sarah, tell us all
about them!
TheExpected Great Comet. The eminent
astronomer, M.Eabinct, member of the French
Academy of Sciences, gives some very inter
esting uetails relative to the return ot that
great comet, whose periodical course is com
puted by the most celebrated observer at throe
hundred years.
Our cj"clical records shows that it was ob
served in the year 101, f.S:J,07.3, again in 12(14,
and the next time in loo'i, always deseiihed as
shining with the most extraordinary brillian
cy. Most of the European astronomers hail
agreed in announcing the return of this comet
ia 1848; but it has hitherto failed to appear.
Ia fact, it is not so easy or simple a matter to
compute thosa vast cyclical periods as some
superficial persons, who do not look beyond
tha day of the year in which they live, may
imagine.
We are, however, assured by Mr. Babinct,
that, up to this moment, this luaiitilul star "is
living on its brUlat reputation;" so that Sir
John IIer.-chel himself was wrong when he de
spaired of its reappearance, and put crape on
his telescope! Wc arc now informed that a
col abrafed an J accurate computer 31. Bom me,
of Middlebnrg with a patience and devoted
ness truly German, has gone over all previous
calculations, and r.l.id; a new es'.im-'tv'of the
sept-rate and combined action of all the plan
ets upon this comet of three hundred years;
and he has discovered that it is not lost to us,
but only retarded in its motion. The result ei'
this severe labor gives the arrival of this rare
and renowned visiter in August, 1S-j3, with an
uncertainty of two years, mere or less; so that
between lS'iO and those who are then
living may hope to see the great Ltruinary which
in 1553 caused Charles V. to abdicate.

Every reader, we doubt not, will agree with
us that the subjoined letter is not only an in
teresting one, but that the concluding sentence
of it makes it a remarkable one. It is an exact
copy of a letter written by General W infield
Scott, tiken a captain in the army, during a so
jouru at his home in Petersburg, Va., on the
IStli of June, 1S11, ji-t one year before the
declaration of war. The letter was addressed
to an old friend in this city, and is now in the
possession of the son of J. L. Edwards, Esq. :
"L'jrTEiisnrao. -Tun 18, 1811.
'T believe we have very little village news
to give you, nor do I know what would please
you in that way.
"Of myself that personage who fills so large
a space i:i every man's ou n imagination, and
so small a one in the imagination of every
other I can say but little; perhaps less would
please you more. Since my return to Vir
ginia my time has been passed in easy transi
tions from pleasure to study, from study to
pleasure; in my gaycty forgetting the student,
in the student forgetting my gayety.
"I have generally hoen in the oitice of my
friend, Mr. Leigh, though not unmindful of
the studies connected with my present profes
sion; but you will easily conceive my military
ardor has suffered abatement. Indeed, it is
my design, as soon as circumstances will per
mit, to throw the feather out of my cap and
resume it in my hand. Yet should war come
at last, my enthusiasm will be rekindled ; and
then who knows but that I may yet write my
history with my sword. "
Yours, truly, Wixfeld Scott.

Riot is Kansas. A Clereyman Mobbed, and
Neurit Killed. The Lexington (Mo.) Express
publishes an occount of a liot between a num
ber of squatters in Kansas. It occurred In
tho town of Fremont, and the following are
said to be she facts:
The mob, without provocation, entirely, de
stroyed the premises of the Rev. 3Ir. Hum
mer, and after having beat and stoned his per
son to such a degree that all reasonable hope
of his life was lost, they carried him ofF by
force, together with his suffering wife, who
was still clinging to his mangled body, and
conveyed them five miles, and set them down
on the open prairie, there to perish. The mob
then returned, with yells of triumph, to the
residcucc of A. A. Ward, where they orga
nized, and from whence they started, which is
the immediate vicinity of tho demolished
premises. They held a mock auction, and
sold olf. what remained of building materials,
which were bid in by the instigators of. the
mob. They stole the potatoes, onions,-chickens,
&c, of the still bleeding, and supposed
dead, sntferer.

How to sell a Book. "Doesticks" writes

as to the means which ho will adopt to get it
into extensive circulation. We commend it
to some bock publisher wo wet of:
In order to cripple criticism, and disarm ed
itorial oqinion, a copy will be sent to every
editor, critic, reporter, writer, women's rights

most learned, most laughable, most profound,
most mirth-provoking and most solemn book

trickery or stratagem omitted. It will be for
sale wholesale, retail, and at auction. Those
of 3"ou who have a dollar to spare will please
buy it, and those who haven't will borrow a
copy from the nearest editor, and never carry
it back. It will be a "work which no gentle
man's library should be without." It is con
sidered necessary to the safety of the Union,
that its democratic principk'3 be thoroughly

Volcanic F-sicatiicr Tisiol.
We have seen and fired a pistol, recently
invented arid patented, which bids fair to ex
cel every thing ia that lino that has yet been
offered to the public attention. It seems to
combine 2)11 that could be desired in such a
weapon. Colt's pistol compared with it seems
like a distortion, or a clumsy, uncouth, and ri
diculous affair for a firearm. The volcanic
pitol carries a Minie or conical ball, in a rifle
barrel, and will put it through a three inch
plank at a distance of ninety rods. Tho re
ceiving tube will hold ten ball cartridges,
which may be deposited in two seconds of
time. Tho pistol may ba discharged thirty
times in fifty seconds. It is so contrived that
it is not liable to accidental discharge. There
is no priming, no caps, and therefore no dan
ger to the eyes from any ignition near the
breach. Neither is there any recoil, so as to
jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. The whole
construction is so simple as not to get out of
order even from long use. The powder and
ball are enclosed in the same metallic cover,
so that a person could swim a river with one
of these in his belt without in the slightest de
gree injuring the powder. In short, the weap
on is in all respects one of the most perfect
things in tho shooting line that we ever took
into our bauds. .Yew Haven Palltziiicm.
Adulterated Liquors The Toronto (Can
ada) Patriot, professes to have made some
startling discoveries re'specting the adultera
tion of liquors in that Province, and calls for
legislative interference, to arrest the evil. All
kiuds of liquors are extensively counterfeited.
The Patriot says : "The public has little idea
of the extent to which the adulteration of li
quor is carried on in this country. Sometime
ago, during a preliminary investigation of a
criminal case, the fact was incidentally elicit
ed, that all the liquors retailed in a particular
hose, in this city, were 'laade up', in Toronto!
So striking a disclosure did not arrest the pub
lic attention, which was exclusively fixed upon
other features cf the ease. We have recently
been led to make inquiries into the extent to
which this system of adulteration is is carried,
and the result will cause some surprise to the
uninitiated- Probably nine-tenths of the li
quors sold in this city are adulterated in differ
ent degrees, the lowest qualitiesfrequently con
tain not a drop of the liquor under tho namocf
which thej' :o e soi l. There are various parties
engaged in the fraud; but the greatest offend
ers are to be found amongst the grocers."
nv a Kixg. A continental corres
pondent of the London Morning Advertiser
writes : "A very unfortunate event has just oc
curred at the Hague, an event of so distressing
a nature that I should hessitate to narrate it,
but that it comes to me from unquestionable
authoritv. The King of Holland latelv went
to visit fne of his mistrcsse-, and found one of
his aides-d-s-camp closeted with her. The
king rushed upon his officer and stabbed him ;
the wound, it is said, has proved fatal, and
great exertions are bei lg made in high places
to keep this horrible tragedy from the public."
A Xr.v.- Stock Compaxy. A recent number
of the London Court Journal 1ms the following
hit on American schemes, which we think
pretty good:
"The American papers state that an indi
vidual in 3Iichigan proposes to build a spiral
staircase down the M;elstrom, in order to re
cover the valuables that have been sucked in
to that immense receiver during the last two
hundred years. He proposes to make a joint
stock concern, under the name of 'The Inter
national Spiral Staircase Treasure-seeking
Association.'"
C7" Commander Ringold is in Washington,
busily employed, it is stated, in preparing a
report of his exploration of the Chinese seas.
3Iany of the curiosities brought homo by the
vessels of the Japan- squadron are said to be
the results of Com. R.'s interesting explora
tions, which are designed to have an important
infiuance in the extension of our commercial
influence in those distant seas.
To the Point. Dan Russell was once aeao
didate for the Auditorship of JHssissippi. Ha
ving been called upon on for a speech, he de
livered the following, which, though brief,will
be adniitted was to the point : "Fellow-citi.
zens, you have called on me for a few remarks.
I have none to make. Ihavc no prepared speech.
Indeed, I am no speaker. I do not desire to be
a speaker. I only want to be Auditor."
Spots on tue Sun. A correspondent of the
Providence Journal states, for the information
of those who believe that there is a connection
letween tho temperature of our planet and
the state of .he sun's disc, that there are now
two spots on the sun of uncommon 'size and
great regularity of figure, almost circular,
which are surrounded by a penumbra, very
distinct, also circular.
Winter Wheat. Thus far the various ac
counts respecting the. prospects of the wheat
crop are highly favorable. Respecting the
crop in Jlichigan, the Detroit Free Press says:
"Froni all sections we' hear that the wheat is
looking exceedingly well. The quantity upon
the ground is greater than in any former year,
and, with no intervening calamity, the crop
will be unprecedented."
