sinct a bright little face appeared at oar door
and delivered us a package, hich, upon being
opened, prored to be another excellent cake
tent OS by some unknown fair one. "VYe ten
der the donor our hearty thanks, and exp rcss
the hope that she may succeed in doing all
other things as well as she succeeded in mak
ing the aforesaid cake ! .
Is rr Dt J Everybody says it is, and so it
roust be true. The earth has but little mois
ture, notwithstanding a number of showers
hare fallen within the past few weeks. If we
lo not soon get some copious rains, vegeta
tion of all kinds must be materially injured.
The heat for several days during the past week
was intense, and well calculated to test one's
powers of endurance.
The Yearly County Association of the Reg
ular Baptists, was held in this place, during
the past week. There was preaching on Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, and considerable
iotcrost manifested, among the ministers and
members of the church, for the spread of the
gospel. The members contemplate building a
house of worship, during the ensuing sum
mer. . We wish them success in their laudable
enterprise.
Am B&OTYFEs. By reference to card of P.
C. Purviance, it will be seen that he is now
prepared to take Ambrotype Likenesses, as
well as Daguerrean. We have seen several of
his pictures, and would say that they are, tru
ly, most magnificent. Persons desirous of
having a good likeness of themselves, or
friends, can procure the desired object, by cal
ling at Mr. Purviance's Gallery at his resi
dence, on 2d street.
Co-PARTXEHsmr. It will be seen, by rclcr
ing to the new advertisements in to-days Jour
nal, that a partneiship has been entered into,
between Doctors Lorain & IIartswick. Dr.
Ilartswick is a young man of fine talents, and,
no doubt, an excellent physician, and well
worthy the confidence of the afflicted public.

MARRIED:
Ox the 11th of June, inst., by the Rev. W.
Sterling, Dr. J. G. IIartswick, of this place,
to Miss Kate IIcston, of Centre county.
Ma. Cbittendes, of Ky., submitted a reso
lution to the Senate of the U. S., June 10, re
questing the President to send Gen. Scott to
Kansar, with a sufficient military force for the
restoration of law, peace and harmony there.
In the course of his rcmaiks, on presenting
the resolntion, Mr. Crittenden said, "it seem
ed to him that the Senate had but very seldom
nnder their consideration a subject of more
importance than the afTairs of Kansas. It was
enoug'j to make them feel ashamed for the
spectacle now presented in that territory.'
They had been in session six months, and not
one step has been taken by them to remedy
tins disgraceful evil, which was growing day
by day, spreading wider and wider, and infla
ming passions already too much excited. .Not
only is the peace and quiet of Kansas disturb
ed, but the peace of the entire country is
threatened. Of debate there had been enough,
but not of a kind to contribute to an impartial
judgment, but that rather which led to crimi
nation and recrimination. He wanted to see a
broad, general and fraternal peace, and that
must bo the ambition of all. Gen. Scott is
the man who carries the sword in his left hand,
and in the right Peace, gentle Peace, and by
his voice, trumpet-longued, will do more than
a thousand bayonets. His object was to put
an end to anarchy in Kansas."
Fokeigx News. The steamer Arabia, ar
rived at Xew York on the 13, with Liverpool
dates up to May 31. Peace rejoicings still
fill the English newspapers. There is much
anxiety felt respecting the American difficul
ties. The news of Padro Vijil's reception fol
lowing so close opon Lord Clarendon's arnica
Lie advances Increases the" excitement. It is
rumored that the Earl of Elgin will bo sent as
Plenipotentiary to Washington as the last
chance of averting war. The London Times,
in speaking of the recognition of Vyil, says :
It seems as if the demands on one side and
concessions on tho other had renched the ut
most limit 5" and suggests that the United
States send a special embassador or accredit
the present Minister with powers to settle the
dispute.
TnE Germans. We see it stated that Tcn
German Editors, issuing 70,000 papers week
ly, met in Cincinnati, O., last Monday a-weck,
and resolved to act with the Republicans, a
gainst the extension of slavery." It is also as
serted that "All the Germans in the Territory
of Kansas go with tho Free-State party to a
man. Hcrr Deitzler, who was arrested, is a
German. Another German was dragged thro'
the streets of Lawrence by the bandits and
most shamefully abused."

The Highland Patkiot, a Buchanan paper

Dori-vg the thunder storm, a few days ago,
stys the Boston Post, the lightning came down
upon a pasture of Charles Titcomb, of Ken
sington, N. II., descending perpendicularly
into the earth for about thirty feet, so as to
form a good well for water. The hole is as
big round as a barrel, and it was formed, like
the holes of the chip munk, without throwing
out any earth.

A BEC0BD OF KANSAS RUFFIANISM, a
That there has been falsehood as well as
truth sent over tho telegraphic lines, by the
Missourians who have charge of them, is
unquestionable. But these false statements
do not invalidate or diminish the real cata
logue of crime. To enablo our readers to keep
the latter in memory we subjoin below a list
of a few occurrences, which are authenticated
by legal evidence, and which are not even at
tempted to be denied. There are five times as
many similar ones reported, and tolerably
well authenticated. But we wait until they
shall be officially and legally confirmed before
adding them to the list : ,

' 4 HUMAN IFE SAVED !
1 Powagiac, Mich., March' II " li6.!
J. A. RHODES, Esq: Dear Sir As I tobk your'
medicine to sell on consignment, '-no core no pay,'r.
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to
me by three brothers who live in this place, and
their'testimony is a fair specimen of all I havere
ceiyed ; -
Y. S. Conkliu told mo '-I had taken nine bbl
tles of Christie's Ague Balsa xi, and continually run
down while using it until my lungs and liver were
Congested to that degree that blood discharged
from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible for me to live through another chill.
The doctors too did all they oould for me, but tho't
I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got
Rhode's Fever and Ague Cure, which at once re
lieved me of tho distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a.
permanent cure iu a short time.
H M. Conklinsays: "I had been taking "medi
cine of as good a doctor as we have in our county,
and taken any quantity of quinine and specific
without any good result, from 25th August to 17th
December. But seeing how nicely it operated on
my brother, I got a bottle of Rhodes' Fever and A
gue Cure, which effected a permanent curehy ua
in two-thirds of a bottle.
c-. M. Conklin was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as H. M's, I
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the'
cure was as speedy from the same small qaantity,
and I might o specify. Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Gooa proof as it it.
it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like
certificates I hare already published, and theatill
greateratnount thatiscontinually pouringhi to me.
One thing more. Last year I had oooasion tocau
lion the public in these words: "Inotictontferm,
who have taken out o f my general circulars, suh
stitattd the nam o f their nostrum- for my' medi
cine, ani then with brazen impndene tnd thmr
pamphlet with the exclamation, -Let the proprietor
of any other medicine say as much if he dares'' t)t
Now I take pleasure in saying that the caution
referred to the same "Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam'
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There are several other industrious people wb
aro applying to their poisonous traili all that I
publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the certificates of core,
and the certificate of tho celebrated Chemist, Dr.
J.inesR. Chilton, of N. Y.. in favor of its perfect
ly harmless charartcr, which is attached t-J every
bottle. These will always serve to distinguish my
medicine from imitations. JAS. A. RHODES,

LET US REASON TOGETHER.

WHY ARE WE SICK 7

tone to theso organs, however much deranged, and
when all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH:"
Many of the most despotic Governments hare o-
pened their Custom Houses to the introduction of,
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the niajses. Learned College admit that thia
medicine, is the best remedy ever known for per-:
sons of delicate health, or where the. system has
been impaired, as its invigorating properties never
fail to afford relief. . - -FEMALE

No female, young or old. should be without thia
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the

scs like a charm. It is also the best and safest
