electing recently held in thi3 neighborhood has
bsjn productive of the most happy results, and
tbatal'rge number of converts have joined tho
Church both in this place and Curwensville. A se-rlt-s

ileth.odist Church, and new accessions are being

The Xewi. The main features of the Afri
ca's news, which dates to tho 1st inst., consist
in details of the battle of Tehernaya and the
rcr.itio:i that preceded it. From the official
r.-ports, it tarns out to have bi?eu a ileci led
victory for the Allies. Another Russian at
tick upon the AIlie3, ia the vicinity of Ceme
tery, wi anticipated. It is announced deSn-itelv-
that Omar Pacha is to take the command
in Asia. Nothing important has been receiv
ed from the Baltic SBa or Kars..
The rejioits of Gens. Simpson and Pclissier
atate that the Russian attack on Tcheraaya
was a deliberate eflort to raise the siege. It'
ther ha'.I succeeded in holding the heads, they
JntesdeJ afurther at'ack upon the four points.
The documents found on a dead Russian Gen
eral clearly indicate this. Gen. Simpson eti
tnites the Russian force at 5-5,000 infantry and
C,000 cavalry, with 1G0 guns. The French had
only 12,000 men and four batteries engaged; the
SardiuUns 4,o'J0 men and 24 guns ; and the
English only one battery. The Russians ad
vanced three thaes 'with determined bravery
ttal thrige eaj-riel the bridge crowning the
'leights, but were repulsed. Their retreat
iu covered by the Russian batteries. Ceu.
Fellisaier calls the French loss 17 officer kill
ed and 53 wounded; 172 men killed, ISO miss
ing, and HtiO wounded. The Sardeuiaa loss is
250 in killed and wounded. The Busaiau loss
is 3,000 killed and ,5,000,, wounded, and l,8u0
wounded prisoners. -The Russians admit great
losses. Three of their General were kiiled.
The Russians engaged in the battle had jut
arrived in the Crimea. Gea. Simpson Bays
the Rudan and MalakcC were bombarded on
le 17th, with as muchcSectaswasanticipated.
Prince Gortschakotf telegraphs on the night
of the 27th, that affairs at Sevastopol were un
changed, the fire of the Allies being occasion
ally very strong. It is reported that General
Simpson is ill, and that Gen. Bentinck his ta
ken the command. The Allies are preparing
to cross the Tcuernaya, and active operations
are delayed until this movement is eiTccted.
Omar Pacha was to leave for Trelozorde on the
21st. Xothing'reliable has been received from
jtlri or Erzsroum. The Russians had re-established
their communications between Gen
Hchi and Arabat, 7 ..... f ,f . " ,
Tho Allied fleet in the Baltic had been or
dered to retire from before Cronstadt, the dis
abled gua-boats only returning home. Private
letters state that the Russian loss in the bom
bardaignt of Sweiborgwas not less than 2,000
men. "LeNord," on the contrary, says that
only 50 men were killed, and that 1300 guns
in the various forte remain in the same posi
tion on the batteries wholly uninjured..

Dissolution of tue Democratic Paktt.
An Oath-Bound Convert in and an (Jaih-Lound
Ticket I
The old 'Democratic' party is -dead, dea l,
dead.' It was publicly executed in the Court
House last Tuesday, the Court Iiouse Clique
acting as executioners and a new oaih.-bou.n t
foreign fusion alliance set up ia its stead.
Henceforth we have no -democratic party'
among us not even a-locoioco party. The
mandate has gone forth. To have been a 'de
mocrat,' and voted the 'democratic ticket,'
will uo longer ausvcr. All uiut sice.tr ulle

kicked on!.
Labt Saturday the so-called de2cgat elec
tions ol the new organization were" hell. They
were called eleciions, but when the people
came to ttie polls they fotiucl that the selection
had already been luade by the wire workers in
the varions districts, und unless it was posi
tively certdin thai the voter who presented
himself would endoree the programme, his vote
.tiled out. In this way the convention
was completely puclel by the tools of the
clique, and every 'man returned was bound to
toe the nt'irk. As t ist as the deleg ttes arrived
in town they were placed under the surivu
1'iace of the leaders, and all disposition to mu
tiny promptly put down. To be certain, how
ever, tint iiuiit; should be admitted but those
in the ri'i;;,' a solatia oaik was agreed npou.

These Kicked delegates met in the Court
House oa Tuesday, and orgmiz.td by calling
Dr. II. H. Mh.li SBvMiG. ol 'Reading, to the
Chair, with four -Vice Presidents, and three
Si'cn-taries. I;n:nlediately after the ollicers
ha.l taken their-ssats, a tii'-f;i!. was ma le and
carru-d, thit the delegates, before being admit
ted to their se ts, be required to take an olti-g-tiion
wiih the uplifted haul, that they were
true ia the rope :rue io the foreign interest ,uu-J
true to the Clique. Then commenced the cere
mony of ergatiiziii; anew oi t-'joun I ;o.i i
cal Order in place ot theol 1 D.;urer itic pir;y.
The ritual, cr mode of initiation was as fol
lows :
Albany township bjing the Cist on the list,
the delegates from that township were revest
ed to come forward to the clerk's d:sk. Thr -e
men appeared and their names were read out,
viz: Benjamin Levati, Solomon Peitrich, Dan
iel Eoacher. The first degree was Diei ad
ministered, viz :
DELEGATE S OATH.
President Gentlemen, hold -up your right
hands and listen to the oath.'
Delegates hell up their right hinds as di
rected. President continues reading from the
established formuke.
"You do swear, that you do not now belong,
have not for six months belonged, and do not
intend for the future to belong to any secret
political society, and particularly that c.dled
Know Nothings. If yon swear s iy -yes."
The delegates answer '"i,' and resume,
their seats. The next district is read od'. del
egates come forward, are sworn in t.-e s;wne
way, and so on through the hat of districts.

G. SrtTTL:K, Esq. ux-meroi.-er oi' the legiali
ture, roe in his place, and stated th.it he had
cous:iett ious sjruj-Ui aga usi swe-triux. He de
nied all connection with tho Know Not.iiug
party, and oiiered to m tke a solemn declara
tion, but tiie oath-bound convention would
not make any exception in his favor, and he
was tUrotvu out. Wnat did the convention care
about -conscie'ious .samples. ' Conscience was
of no account ia that body.
Tiia new party being thus fairly orginize l
the next thi::g in order was to endorse the n -niin
itious jh evio-tily unree l upon by the clique.
But before proceeding to this business it was
moved, seconded and cirrie I

Latcst Xrwj F.ton Kansas. We have re
ceived from our special correspondent, at the
Kansas Legislature, the following telegraphic
dispatch relative of the proceedings of thatjii
teresting territory-: . -
"Shaarnee Mission. far. 27, 4 r. m. The
bill in regard to all territorial officers by the
present h-gisl iture has become a law, and the
two houses are now in joint session, for tbe
purpose of carrying iut the elections. The
list of county oflices to be filled under the
provisions of the act is too long lor m.-sertion.
Tiie following, however, h ive been t-lected so
far, to wit: 1st district, Charles G rover; d
district, H. A Hutchinson ; 3d distiict, John
Brady.
From Ih-is it will be seen that the bill where
by the Kansjs Solons enacted that all officer
iu the Territory for the term of six ye trs ensn
ing should be filled by the present Legislature
has become a law, and we are free to sty that
a more infamous invasion of the rights of any
people, a more unwarranted assumption of
power not delegated, was never perpetrated
by any assembly that ever sat in even revolu
tionary France. Not content with legislating
themselves into office in violation of the or
ganic law of the Territory not satisfied with
denying to the inhabitants and citizens of
Kansas the constitutional rights of free speech
and a free press but beyond and above all
this, they now ijnietly inform the people that
they, the Legislature, will now undertake to
appoint of their own free will and accord the
sheriffs, constables, attornej's, tax assessors,
and all local officers, not lor the coming year
or until an election can be held by the citi
zens, but for six years from the present time.

These Paints will stand any climate, withwut
crack or blister, and harden by exposure; thus
making in time an enamel of Stone, protecting
Wood from decay, and Iron and o'her metals from
rust und corrosion. They differ essentially from
the so-called Mineral Paints of the day, which aie
principally Ochres, and Clays, and are entirely
worthless.
SILVER'S Plastic Paints are purely METALL
IC, containing no Aluuiin or Clay.
They are levigated finely, mix readily with Lin
Seed Oil, (without the trouble of grinding. i and
flow under the brush as freelp as the best bite
Lead, and excel all others iu body or covering
properties, one pound of which will cover as much
surface as two pounds of White Lead, reducing the
cost two-thirds. There are six distinct colors, viz:
Olive, I Light Brown, i Ligi.t Chocola'e,
Black, I Dark Do. Deep Do.
All equally valuable as a preservative, and par
ticularly adapted to painting the ouL-ide of
BUILDING. S, FENCES, STEAMBOATS, CARS,

which have been successful in nearly 3,000 cam
of confirmed deafness. Ihese remedies cotnpritt
different courses for diseases of the internal, mld

by those celebrated acrists, Drs. Cramer, of Ber

Yearsly of London, as being tho MOa'f WONDER
FUL and EFFECTUAL ever appljei for disease
of tho internal aud middle car. Dr. LeB., WAR
RANTS A CURE in every case where the ear is
perfect in formation. He has eighteen certificate
of cures from those who had been DEAF AND
DUMB. ri,wb.ose bearing ia now completely res
tored aiidSrfe now enabled to learn the language.
The names of 2,700 persons viho have betn cured
by Dr. LeB., way be seen otv,app!ication. Pa
tients, by sending a description of tha case, can
have remedies sent to any part of the United
States.
In caso of mucus accumulations in the Eusta
chain Tube and Tympanum, inflammation of th
mucus membrane, uervous affections, diseases of
the membrane tympani, called "the dram," or
when the disease can bo traced to the effects of fe
vers or Colds, tho uso of quinine or mercurial
medicines, gatherings in tho ears in children, .to.,
this treatment STANDS PREEMINENT. Yt hen
the auditory is dry arid scaly, with liitlo or r.o
secrcliou ; when the deafness is accompanied with
noise in the ear, like falling water, chirffing of
inseels. 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 bed ti:ken placo ; when tho hearing
is less accute in dull, cloudy weather, or whcn a
e.-dd has bjen taken, this method cf treating lh
disease is iuj'aHthle.
Dr. Dufton is tho only Occulist ia the United
States who practices the new painless, aud suc
cessful method in treating all the diseases to which
the eyo is subject Whero very other mean
have failed to affrd relief, he asks from such a
lair ana impartial trial.
ThSTiM Ji V. Tho undersigned practition
ers in medicine in tho city of New York, having
had frequent occasion to witness the practice of
Drs. Louruua and Dufton. in diseases of the Ear
and Lye. laying aside all professional jealousy,
freely admit, that tho cour.-e pursued by them in
treating diseases of these delicate orgaus. from the
ttitpzrulltlrd .surcesttitienJiitit, is well worth th
attention of our professional brethren throughout
tho 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 " M-:hcal Vapors,'1' particularly in chronic or
complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice
of Aural Surgery ; such cases yielding in almos
rnrry instance to this new and potcerf ul agent.
This practice fills up a void which has long been
felt by the general practitioner, enabling him t
cope successfully with every case where perfeo
formation exists.
In diseases of tho Eye, they ecliom require te
resort to the operation.
As skillful Aurists and Oculists, enthusiastically
devoted to their profession, we cordially reooua
