genteel looking man, named Caiumel, was sent

from a display of fire-works.
Pleasant the evening we spent in the be
ginning of the week at a friend's house above
Cnmensville. It always makes us feel cheery,
and arouses the kindliest feelings of our heart,
when we mingle with such sociable, agreeable
and hospitable folks as rc met on this occa
sion. Tic Nic Parties seem to be plenty in this
place just now. there having been no less than
two or three last week. We attended a large
one on Saturday, which was a fine ati'air. An
abundant supply of "'the good things of earth"
was on hand, to which ample justice was ren
dered. Such pic-nics are good institutions.
Rotal Game of Chess. Dates from Hono
lulu, Sandw ich Islands, of the 21th May, state
that the king bad officially announced to the

cannot take him .

Notwithstanding this, from thirty to fifty are

county, Pa., was shot by a younger brother, on
the 22d June. They were in the woods hunt
ing, and had treed a squirrel, Use gin was
tauding between it and her brother, who told
tier to move or he would shoot her. She re
fused and he fired the load entering her side,
from the effects of which she died in about 06
tours. "This should serve as a warning not to
leave children have fire-arms.
Tue Fremont Baxxer. "I see," sys a cor
respondent of the Boston Atlas, "that in Penn
sylvania th2 Buchanan men are forming
Wheatland Clubs,' (Wheatland is tho name
f Buchanan's home,) with banners bearing as
a device a sheaf of Wheat. I beg to suggest
that th banner incribed ith ths mm of John
n v i . t .
v.. x ivuiuui iuuuiii nave as its device a threth. 1
ing machine. That sheaf of v, heat is destined
to be thrashed, and tho wheat to be gathered
into any other garner than that of the border
ruffians."
Impkotemexts. We are pleased to sec that
a spirit of improvement is awake in our town.
At this time we observe preparations for buil
ding at different points. Mr. Jonathan Boyn
ton has torn away his former residence, and is
erecting a fine brick dwelling on its site. TT.
L.Moore, Esq., is putting up a brick dwelling
oa the corner of Locust and 2d Sts., and Jas.
B. Graham, Esq., is putting a fine addition to
his house on the corner of Market and 2d Sts.
There are other improvements going on, all of
which will add to the appearance of our town.
M v r D r . We learn by the Lock Haven
Watchman, that on the 9th July, Win. Hall
was killed, at Kettle Creek, by Jacob W.
Pfouts. Hall, who was in his employ, it ap
pears, had ridden one of his horses and lamed
him. A quarrel ensued, and after handling a
man named Jerry Harkins roughly for inter
fering, Pfouts took his rifle and shot Hall thro'
the breast, killing him instantly it is supposed.
Mrs. Pfouts gave the alarm, and when the
neighbors came in they found the three men
lying on the floor. Pfouts Mas arrested and
committed to the Lock Haven jail. It seems
Rum was at the bottom of the affair.
A Frightful Railroad Accident occurred
near Gwynned Station on the North Pennsyl
vania railroad, 13 miles from Philadelphia, on
the 17th inst., by which not less than. 50 per
sons were killed, and between 200 and GOO
wounded. An excursion train, containing the
scholars and teachers of the Roman Catholic
church of St. Michaels, Kensington, who were
going to Fort Washington on a pleasure trip,
was run iuto by tho regular down train. The
cars of tiie former were driven on top of each
other, and to add to the calamity caught fire.
A most heart-rending scene ensued nineteen
men, women and children were roasted to
death, others crushed and horribly mangled,
and the groans and cries of the wounded and
burning were appalling in the extreme. Rev:
Mr. Sheriden, priest of St. Michael, was tho't
to be among the turned. It is estimated that
1100 persons were on the train when the col
lision occurred.
Flavoring Matters. One of tiie most re
markable, and interesting achievements of
modern chemistry has been the preparation of
certain liquids possessing the flavors of vari
ous fruits. So close indeed is the resem
blance that we are almost warranted in suppo
sing the flavor of the fruits to be actually cau
sed by "the presence of a trace of the above li
quids. Several of these articles arc employed
in confectionary, and are manufactured on a
tolerably large scale. The acetate of amylic
oxyd, when dissolved in six times its bulk of
alcohol, emits a most powerful and agreeable
odorofpear3, and is used in flavoring pear
drops. The valerate of amylc, dissolved in al
cohol, gives the scent and flavor of apples.
Butyric-ether communicates the flavor of the
pineapple, and is used in the preparation of
various beverages. Various other compounds
of the so-called fatty acids, with the oxyd of
amyle and ethyl?, possess very pleasing odors.

112. OLIVER'S MINORITY REPORT.
Thi.3 gentleman, as our readers are aware,
was one of the Congressional Committee that
went to Kansas to inquire into the alleged
outrages and wrongs, ol which so much has
been sid. lie did not co-operate very kind
ly with his colleagues, Messrs. Howard r.nd
Sherman, for the best of reasons, viz : that
the disclosures there made bore very hard
against the side lie i ad espoused, and against
a larcra number of -Missourians, a part of whom
are Mr. Oliver's constituents, who went, into
Kansas to help the people in voting. When
Messrs. Howard and Sherman made their re
port, which h:is been extensively read, and
has made a deep impression on the public
mind, Mr. Oliver announced that he should
present a minority report, which would be an
embodiment of his vijws. On Friday last, lto
fulfilled his promise, and made his report.
It is long, but very unsatisfactory and in
conclusive, lie deals largely in generalities
and broad, sweeping assertions, denying the
truthfulness of his colleagues' report, but un
fortunately, he does not establish the truth of
his own. The. fact is, Mr. Oliver was in a very
delicate position as a member of tiie Kans-is
Committee. It is proved conclusively that he
teas u- ith his Missouri brethren when they. went
into the Territory to aid the people to choose
a Legislature. He says he did not vote, but
he did make a speech to the border men while
they were in Kansas cheating tho people out
of their just rights. He did not vote, but did
he admonish the Missourians that they had no
right to vote? by no means. He was with
them for the purpose of seeing that enough
should cast their votes to have the Legislature
of the right stamp. Mr. Oliver's report will
have very little influence Willi intelligent, fair
minded men. It is the testimony of one who
was particejis crimiuis, partaker of the crime.
He must make out the best esse he can for
himself and his Missouri neighbors and friends.
The more the Kansas troubles are investi
gated, tho worse they appear on the side of
Mr. Oliver and the border men. There is not
the shadow of a doubt that there was a deep
laid p! in to overawe, terrify, and cheat the
bona fi le inhabitants of Kansas in all their e
lections, but especially the one on the 31st of
March, -'55. Then a Legislature was to bs
chosen, and it was thought if men of the rihl
stamp could then bo put in power, the institu
tion of slavery would be firmly established in
the Territory. The Missourians, therefore,
went over to the number of four thousand
nine hundred and twenty-one. Not quite so
manv as that, however ; they cast that num
ber of votes, but it is proved that some of theio
voted fire, six and seven times. The votes
they polled amounted to 4021, while the real
settlers, pro-s'nvcry and anti-slavery, polled
but fourteen hundred and ten. We should
I li!cc to soe Mr. Oliver attempt to explain or
controvert tnis fact. Anybody can make o la
and bold assertions, but it is hard to make in
telliacnt, reflecting men believe that the facts
embodied and proved in the Report of Messrs.
Howard and Sherman are fictions. Phil'aSun.
