Letting Buii.ii3a Tax. The following let

held that School Directors had no authority

. Bkllefonte, 12. Feb.. 1858.
Chns. Cadwalader, Esq : Dear Sir : I had
repeatedly instructed Boards of School Direc
tors to collect a building ta, in addition to
the school tax, and regarded that as the law,
.while Superintendent of Common Schools. .
1 understand the present Superintendent pla
ces the same construction on tho law, and I
haj- enclosed him your letter. I never doubt
ed that such was the reasonable construction
f the school . law, and I do not Jthink yon
thould acquiesce in the decision of the Court.

' Harrisburg, Feb. 15, 1858. J
Dear Sir : Your letter of the 2nd inst. to
Col. Curtin, has been forwarded by him to this
Department. Judge Burnside's decision a
ainst the right of townships to levy building
tax for school honses is manifestly erroneous,
and not sustained by the letter, objects and
spirit of the school law. II he refuses to re
verso his decision, the only remedy will be an
appeal to the Supreme Court ; and in the
meantime the Directors will, of course, be
obliged to obey the injunction. " ' .
Respectfully, yours,

CrRWEKsvti.LE, Feb. 25th. 1858.
Us.. Kow I have taken your paper about
year, asd have become wise enough, by the
diffusion of light and knowledge through its
columns, therefore I ask for a discontinuance
Enclosed you have 37 cents, your due for the
Miut. lours, VV . Ii. Iuomas,
CTlVe acknowledge the receipt of the a
foresaid 371 cts., in good order. "We were not
before aware that our paper exerted such an
extraordinary influence that it would render a
man wise iu three months. But the above
contains indubitable evidence of the fact, and
we lay it before "the whole world and the rest
of mankind" that all may avail themselves of
the superior advantages of the "Journal."
Jmt think of it ! A man growing wise in
lliree months, at a cost of 37 cents! It
ought to be half a dollar when not paid in ad
vance. At that price, everybody should roll
in and take a chance. ' Who's next T
The Real Game of Calhoun. The Kick-
opoo correspondent of the Presj, Philadelphia,
in his letter of Feb. 9, 1358, says:
"The programme of the Lecomptonites has
unwittingly leaked out. It is this: Calhoun
has left a man here to issue certificates rb-the
oL'icers elect, who are pro-slavery according
to his count, whenever tho Constitution pas
ses through Congress, whick fact he is to tele
graph to his said agent at the earliest oppor
tunity. As soon as the members of the Legis
lature receive their certificates, they are to
meet at Fort Leavenworth, elect Calhoun and
Isaacs United States Senators, and adjourn
tine die. What the State officers are to do we
are not informed. The game is a very despe
rat one. and it is verv certain that Calhoun
has staked his "bottom dollar" on the result
If the Constitution passes Congress, I know
of no two men who would be better entitled fo
its advantages, or better representatives of th
Lecompton party, than the two above named
It is not expected that either of them will ever
nter the Territory, again as citizens, nd
they would very fitly carry out in fraud, tho
game thus fraudulently begun."
Death of Judge Kane. lion. John K.Kane,
Judge of the United States District Court for

a man was shaving at a window, when some
comical fellow cracked away at him with a
snow ball. The missile struck the razor and
cut the man'i throat, and he died from the

that whoso throws a snow ball shall be senten

FOR THECCRR OF .
Bronchial affections,Coughs, Colds, ricurisy, Bron

and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluablo
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the rccint of a regular t hysician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and used
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
Droduces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediute relief. In this ever
changing climate; where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this CERTAIN CURE.
it would be easy to foUow in the wakeof the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
cot nn fur the occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to the public. Its real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it. cannot but give it a wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 3i i Cettis per bottle
