Larceny. Quite an excitement was caused on
yesterday morning by the arrest of "Dutch John,"
Hemphill's Ostler, on a charge of Larceny. It ap
pears that in the night Benj. Jury and Wm. Wells,
two of Mr. Hemphill's guests, h ad their handker
chiefs and purse abstracted. In the morning as
one of them was passing down street, John acci
dentally exhibited a corner of the yellow hand
kerchief, which was immediately seized by the
owner who recognized it. John commenced 'ma
king tracks' down the alley, but he was soon ar
retted and brought before Esquire Frank, where,
vn examination, the missing purse, containing
eight or ten dollars, was found in his boot. John
was promptly committed to the kind hospitalities
of Sheriff Stone.
A Prayer. Cur neighbor, in his paper of last
week, finds fault with one of the Supcrintcndants
of our Sabbath Schools, for talking Know Nothing
ism, and praying the Lord "to deliver us from Dem
ocratic rule." We dont know whether the "Seal
er of weights and measures," did this or not, nor
do we care. But certainly, if there is one thing
above all others, for which a sincere Christian
who has the welfare of his country at heart, should
Tray, it is that the Almighty would speedily de
liver us from the "reign" of the present weak,
corrupt and imbecile Administration. Such a
prayer might be offered with as much propriety as
any other petition for deli vercnee from a pestilence,
for it is fast getting to be a "stench in the nostrils
of the nation." and is the source of every species
of moral and political leprosv-
Fcsioh Its DirriccLTiEs.-We commend the
following sensible article frorr the Honesdale
Democrat to those of our Editorial Brethren
opposed to the National Administration, who
ungenerously denounce Americanism. They
are by far the strongest party in the Xorth,
Antagonistic to Pierce Douglass & Co., and it
is folly to think of success without their assis
tance. And that . assistance is not to bo ob
tained by villi flcation and abuses:
"The Tioga Jgitalor Is right in declaring
that sow jrcneral plan of opperaiivns must be
agreed upon among the opponents of the Kan
sas swindle, or disaster is inevitable. We
have seen that from the beginning, and conse
quently stood ready to unite in any plan of
union that recommends itself to our judgment
4ia practicable. But we have submitted, and
jwe again submit, tka,t sweeping and incessant
.denunciation of the Know Nothings in which
,tho N. Y. Tribune, the Pittsburg Gazette, and
anany other advocates of fusion indulge, con
stitutes the great obstacle in the way of fusion.
TJta uass of the Northern Know Nothings are
heartily opposed to the Kansas villiany, and
are willing to co-operate with anybody and
with every body to rebuke it ; but they have
convictions in respect to foreignism which
ithoy cannot and will not repudiate for the sake
tft co-operation with the editors of the Tribune.
the Gazette, or any other class of persons. It
seems ax if these denouncers of the K. N.s
were detetmined not to learn this fact until the
great battle shall have been fought and lost."
Arm Talk. "WelJ, Jack, here's good
pews from home. We're to have a medal."
"That's very kind. Maybe one of these days
w'll ha a coat to fctick it on."
Correspondence ex th3 Jcuns'.
1'uilauL1uia, SvpteiuUr l&t, 1S5-3.
One sulject only seems at present to Till the
public mind, or the editorial columns of our
daily papers. The heart-rending Kailroad ac
cident at the city of Burlington N. J. It is re
ally too distressing to enter into particulars.
I have just returned home from the scene of
the disaster, and words ore wanting to give any
iaea ot tlie condition ot the sufferers, or the
feelings that are excited by the awful destruc
tion olTife. Thus far about 2o deaths have
occurred and four or five more a-e likely to
take place, so that the whole number will not
probably be less than 30. But when we take
into consideration the amount of agony the
survivers have to endure, it seems, those who
have met with a sudden death are in some re
spects not to be so much lamented for it. See
ing only can give any idea of the destruction
The cars were liteially torn to fragments, and
the ground around is strewed with them too
small to be gathered up mingled with the lin
ing of the seats, the glass of the windows &c.
I saw one poor man last evening who though
living, seemed more like one dead, his face
was cut and gashed in a frightful manner, his
collar bone broken, and several ribs actually
broken and driveu inwards, vet not a groan
escaped him, but he lay as if unconscious of
pain.
I was 0:1 the ground yesterday with the Cor
oners jury examining the locality and the caus
es of the accident, to me it seemed four-fold
though entirely the result of the 11103 reckless
carelessness. First the neglect of the com
pany (who enjoy the sole right of conveying
passengers by railroad across the State of New
Jersey,) to provide a double track road. Sec
ond, the neglect of the Superintendent to issue
his orders to the Conductors to await the arrh
val of the other train rather than run the risk
of a collision. Third, the recklessness of the
Conductor in running backward at a speed
positively forbidden by law at that spot, and
iailing to keep the required look out while
approaching a crossing, and, lastly the worse
than folly, the madness of the driver of the
carriage attempting to cross a railroad at a
speed of 8 miles an hour (as he himself admits)
without looking to see if a train was coming.
(I take it for granted that you will transfer the
full particulars to your columns, so I speak of
facts as though I had mentioned thorn.)
This is without exception the most distress
ing accident that has ever happened in the
history of railroads within 20 miles of ourcity,
but yon can have no idea of the gloom that
spread over Burlington. Had the yellow-fever
been dealing death among the inhabitants, and
marking its victims as it is doing at Norfolk
the city would scarce presentei a more sorrow
ful aspect. All mirth and pleasure was buried,
and the citizens nobly turned out to render all
the aid in their power, and many a parlor,
where but a few moments before, was heard
the gay laugh or the happy voice, now hear
naught but the stifled gro.tn, or the hurried
words of the attendants. The Physicians of
Burlington as well as several from Philadel
phia have been untiring, from the first, to ren
der all that medical skill could do, but alas in
too many instances their kind offices will be
unavailing. It is duo to the Railroad Compa
ny to say that since the accident they have
done all they could to help the injured, but
alas their assistance comes too late to many.
That ihortsightednt-33, which to save a few
thousands, has cost them many more, must
give way to a more enlightened policy or the
people will take the matter in their own
hands, and sooner or later they will find it out.
I his subject has so completely engrossed
my mind I have harly a thought for anything
else. 1 et a few words about that U llliamson
case. I lie innocent sutlerer of Judge Kane's
spleen is still an inmate of the prison, where
his health seems to be suffering from confine
ment, though his spirit is as unbroken as ever.
But a voice will go forth from that cell which
will shake the strong hold of slavery, and the
ball which Judge Kane has unintentionally set
in motion will not cease to roll until slavery
shall be driven back to its death-bed. Kansas
and Nebraska will be two free Stales now, or
none at all.
I lelieve' the convention of the contempla
ted Republican party met yesterday, but no
doings of theirs have come to light. I fear
they are a little too ultra in their views, and
are only attempting to build up the defunct
"Liberty part-." I am not a full blooded ubo.
lilionist, though a determined opponent of
slavery. I believe in the sovereign rights of
the individual States, but not of interference
with each other, on local considerations, hat
new Territory is the property ot all the States
collectively, and there the battle must be
fought and won.
Buisness is still pushing ahead, rapidlv, and
western and Southern merchants are crowding
our hotels. Money that all important article
is plenty, and the usual out-door rate is 8 per
cent for good paper, while the banks generally
take all the first class paper offered. Two
new banks go into operation on the 3rd.
The accounts from .Norfolk and Portsmouth
of the yellow fever, are still distressing, and
aid is still goincr forward from this citv. Over
$10,000 iu money, besides nearly as much
more in drugs &c. have been contributed
here.
Since this letter was written, I learn another
accident occurred on the Camden and Am boy
Kailroad about nine miles from Philadelphia
Two horeses were killed, but providentially
the cars were not thrown from the track, or
we might have had to record another fearlul
loss of life. Yours Stc. O. O.

Deafness and Ear Diseases Radieaily Cured.
Dr. Le Burs offers to those suffering from
Deafness his INFALLIBLE AURAL REMEDIES,
which have ben successful in nearly 3,000 eases
of confirmed deafness. These remedies comprise
different courses for diseases of the internal, mid
dle and external ear, and bave been pronounced
by those celebrated aurists, Drs. Cramer, of Ber
lin, Itard. and Delan, of Paris. Curtis. Pilcber and
Yearsly of London, as being the MOST WONDER
FUL and EFFECTUAL ever applied for diseases
of the internal and middle ear. ' 1'r. LeB., WAR
RANTS A CL'RE in every case where the car is
perfect iu formation. Ho has eighteen certificates
of cures from those who bad been DEAF AND
DUMB, and whose hearing is now completely res
tored aud are now enabled to learn the lasguage.
The names of 2.703 persons - who have been cured
by Dr. LeB., may be seen ou application. Pa
tients, by sending a description of the case, can
have remedies seut to any part of the United
States. -
In case of mucus accumulations in the Eusta
chian Tube and Tympanum, inflammation of the
mucus membrane, nervous affections, diseases of
the nieuirano tympani, called -the drum," or
wheu the disease can bo traced to the e fleets of fe
vers or coldi. the use of quinine or mercurial
medicines, gatherings in the ears in children, 4c.,
this treatment STANDS PREEMINENT. When
the auditory is dry and scaly, with little or no
secretion ; when the deafness is accompanied with
noise iu the ear, like falling water, chirping of
insects, ringing of bells, rustling of leaves, contin
ual pulsations, and discharge of matter, or when
in stooping, a sensation is felt, as if a rush of blood
to the head had taken place ; when tho hearing
is less nccnte in dull, cloudy weather, or when a
cold has been taken, this method of treating tho
disease is iiiliUMc.
Dr. Dufton U tho only Oeculist in the United
States who practices the new painless, aud suc
cessful method iu treating all the dhioasesto which
tho cvo is ubjet Where every other means
have failed to nfford relief, he nsks from such a
fair and impartial trial.
TEST1MDNV. The undersigned practition
ers in inedieinc in the city of New York, having
had frequent occasion to witness the practice of
Drs. LeBrunu and Dufton, in diseases of the Ear
and Eye. . laj-ing aside all professional jealousy,
freely admit, that the coarse pursued by them in
treating diseases of these delicate organs, from the
unparalleled sitcccs.t attending it, is well worth the
attention of our professional brethren throughout
the United States, feeling assured as we do. that
Aural Surgery has not met with that attention
which its importance demands. Their system of
treating diseases of the middle and internal Ear,
by " Medical Vapors.'1'' particularly in chronic or
complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice
of Aural Surgery; such cases yielding in almost
"every instance to this new aud poutrjul agent.
This practice fills up a void which has long been
felt by the general practitioner, enabling him to
cope successfully with every case where perfect
formation exists.
In diseases of the Eye. they seldom require to
resort to the operation.
As skillful Aurists and Oculists, enthusiastically
devoted to their profession, we cordially recom
mend them to such as may require their aid
