CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 14, 1858.
As UhlccktPbesidext. Mr. Buchanan has
been peculiarly unfortunate since his entrance
upon thi duties of the office of President
Notwithstanding there is a working majority
of his own party in both Houses of Congress,
he has failed in carrvinz through several-of
his most important measures. Leconipton
was, however, the one which ho set the most
store by. He made it a test of party fidelity
and only by favoring his Kansas policy could
a bite of the "loaves and fishes" be procured
To cany it through Congress, he used every
means at his command. The personal and po
litical influence of himself and his friends was
exerted public patronage was dispenscd'free
y to sustain the faint-hearted and threats
and menaces were used to reclaim the erring
After all this, he failed ! The House not on!
adopted the Crittenden-Montgomery substi
tute, which is a virtual defeat ol the Admin
istration measure, but last Thursday, by a vote
of 110 to 111, (Humphrey Marshall and Bowie
of Md. having paired off,) it decided to adhere
to its position. The matter is now reduced to
this issue : The original or Senate Leconipton
bill is dead, and the Senate has to choose be
twecn the House bill and the utter defeat of
Us measure. The Senate had previous to tho-
last action of the House, refused to concur in
the amendment of the latter. Whether it will
stick to this, remains to be seen. It is, how
ever, hinted that it will back down, and adopt
the House bill. A strong effort will be made
to get up a committee of conference.
Tnos. II. Bextos. The health of Mr. Ben
ton has of lato been very critical. It is said
lie suffers extreme pain, and is exhausted to
almost the last degree of physical prostration
But his mind is as clear and powerful as ever,
and we see it mentioned that he was continu
ing his labors, by means of an amanuensis, on
the abridgment of the Debates in Congress,
which he has now brought down to the year
1S50. Such energy as his is seldom witness
ed. II is death is momentarily looked for, and,
perhaps, by this time his spirit has departed
from its earthly tabernacle.
Later. After the above was in type, the
intelligence came to hand that Mr. Benton had
died at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 10th,
aged 79 years and 27says.
2ffiws from Utah. The St. Joseph Gazette
announces the arrival at that place of Alexan
der Constant from Fort Kearney SOth ult. Mr.
Constant reports that Brigtiam Young had no
tified Col. Johnson to leave the Territory of
Utah by the 10th of March; otherwise his
troops would be annihilated. Young had also
tendered to the army sufficient provisions to
list them to the States. Mr. Constant met a
eupply train of one hundred and sixty wagons,
accompanied by four companies of troops, on
the 1st inst., on the Little Blue River. He
also reportsjthe Indians all peaceable.
Op tho seven absentees, in the United
States Senate, two are dangerously ill ; one
ha not been in Washington since bis election,
and another has been three months absent,! rom
sickness. Mr. Henderson, of Texas, is far
gone in consumption. Mr. Davis, of Missis
sippi, is in danger of losing his eyesight.
Mr. Bates, of Delaware, has not been heard of
this winter. Mr. lleid, of Xorth Carolina,
left for home about the first of January, and
was unable to get farther than Kichniond.
Mr. Sumner, has never fully recovered from
the injuries received by the assault upon him.
Mcx.es. Large numbers of these ungainly
and useful animals, are passing daily over the
FennsylvaniaRailway on their journey towards
the Mormon country. Some of them aro
hard looking animals which look as if they
had seen the most of their service in this
world, and as if there was little hope that
Brignara Young would ever be disturbed by
their musical voices. Many of them will
doubtless enrich the soil of the spaces be
tween Utah and civilization.
Uxion is Pmj.ADEi.rnir. We learn by the
Daily News of the 9th that the Republicans
have adopted tlte People's Ticket nominated
by the Americans and old Line Whigs, and"
that there is no doubt about its success.
The effect of Mr. Buchanan's Kansas policy
is manifesting itself unmistakeably in the elec
tions this spring. Wherever an election has
been held, whether State or municipal, the
Lecomptonites have been signally defeated.
A correspondent writes to the Press from
Bellefonte, Pa., that a gentleman named Ahl,
is up there buying up all the old broken-down
tnules in the country. This Ahl is a brother
to the Congressional Lecompton Ahl. The
correspondent asks what connection there is

In pursuance of the arrangement mentioned

an excellent entertainment, truly characteris
tic of the fair hostess of the "Mansion House."
At the close of the superb repast, II. B.
Swoope, Esq., arose, and after remarking that
toasts were not the less sincere because drank
in the crystal beverage which the Great Eter
nal has prepared to nourish and invigorate all
his creatures, he proposed "The health of E.
S. Dcsdt, Esq., the guest of the evening."
Mr. Dundy responded in a feeling aud ap
propriate speech. He spoke of his associa
tions in Clearfield, and especially of his friend
ly intercourse with the members of the pro
fession, assuring them that he would carry
wilh him to his home in the far west, the re
collection of this last crowning act of their
kindness and regard, as a sacred memento to
cheer and urge him onward in the often dreary
pathway of professional labor. He concluded
by giving as a sentiment :
The Clearfield Bar may its learned mem

until they shall become complete masters of
our great system of American Jurisprudence.
To this W. A. .Wallace, Esq., responded in
a happy and pertinent speech. He alluded to
his first acquaintance with Mr. Dundy in the
city of Philadelphia to his urging him to de
vote his attention to the studv of the law to
his exemplary conduct while in his office as a
student to his unusually creditable examina
tion on admission to the Bar, and to the indus
try, perseverance and integrity that marked
his subsequent career among us as a practi
sing attorney. After expressing his regret
that convivial meetings among the gentlemen
of the Bar were not of more frequent occur
rence, he concluded with the following toast :
The Press like the legal profession, a learn
ed one. The union of both in one individual
is a sure guaranty of the intelligence of the
possessor.

speech, expressing his gratification at the hi
larity and good feeling that prevailed among
those present, and urging upon all the mem
bers of the Bar to continue to cultivate kindly
and fraternal sentiments for each other. He
gave, in conclusion :
The Surveyor and Lawyer as the one accu
rately measures mens' lands, so should the
other accurately measure their rights.
This called up J. L. Ccttle, Esq., who, af
ter some appropriate remarks, gave the fol
lowing sentiment :
Law and Medicine sister professions, each
alike indispensible to the other.
To this L. Jackson- Crass, Esq., responded,
alluding to the necessity of the lawyer being
acquainted with the profession of medicine,
and instancing numerous cases in which a
knowledge of the various branches of medical
science is of incalculable advantage to the
counsel and advocate, lie concluded with
this sentiment:
"Our Bar young in years, may its youngest
memocr reach the topmost round ot the lad
der of fame.
This called up R. J. Wallace, Esq., who

The Quarter Sessions the essential Court for
the preservation of good order in a communi
ty. May ours prove as effectual in the future
as it has been in the past. -
T. J. McCcllocgii, Esq., District Attorney,

Ltcomiso Countt. A destructive firo oc
curred in Williamsport on tbe morning of the

V. V. Higgins' loss is from three to four thou
sand dollars. Mr. Faries' loss, one thousand.
The property of Updegraft & Winegardncr,
and Jacob Sallada, was saved by the utmost
exertion. Great praise is due the fire com
panies and the citizens fortheir efforts to save
property. The firo was first discovered in
Eliott's store about three o'clock. The cause
of the fire is unknown. Two young men
named Jos. Wondcrley and George Gould,who
slept over the store of J. II. Fullmer, barely
escaped by means of a ladder An at
tempt was made to bnrn the Town Hall in Jer
sev Shore on the night of the 2d icst. In the

The affair is involved in mystery.
Jcniata Uocstt. The Mifflintown papers
chronicle a distressing case of small pox
which developed itself last week, in the per
son of a young girl residing at Patterson
She had been employed in the family of Adam
Holliday as a servant. The fever usually ac
companying this loathsome disease brought
on delirium, under which she wandered off,
and could not be found for several days. One
night she remained out with nothing for shel
ter but a friendly hay-stack, and Hie pale
moon and stars as her silent watchers. Re
turning to town, she concealed herself in the
stable' attached to the Central Hotel, where,
bv her groans and sufferings, sho was discov
ered by Dr. James L. Kelly. The Doctor at
once set about to have her properly cared for,
and in the afternoon removed her to the coun
try. All who have been suffering from this
disease are rapidly recovering, or are entirely
wen oi it, ana me auove is tne only case
which has occurred since our last report, some
weeks since.
Centre Cocxtt. On the 4th inst., the barn
of Wm.'Zeigler of Madisonburg, was destroy

a fire in the yard to boil Easter eggs, and that
the fire originated from sparks. Seven horses,
one buggy, three wagons, and many other ar
ticles were also burnt. Loss about $4000. .
A casting, weighing 7542 pounds, was made

and coming too close the burning brush, his
clothes caught nre. iteibling rescued the
child without any serious injuries. Provoked
at the child for his mishap, he took it to the
house, put it to bed, and left. Soon another
German, who was assisting Reibling, saw
smoke coming out of the house, and on reach
ing it they found that some firo had clung to
the child, from which the bed had caught, and
that the little fellow was burned almost to a
crisp the head completely bare of hair. Da
Fisher was called in, but no skill could save
the partially roasted child. The father is much
blamed for his carelessness.

Fayette county, representing himself as a
Deputy Marshal, came to Blairsville and at
tempted to carry off a colored man named
Newton, claiming him as a runaway slave
from Virginia. Several persons interfered,
and a melee ensued, during which Newton
made his escape. We have heard it said that
Newton denies being a slave, and it is said he
has resided at Blairsville some five years or
more A little son of Mr. Sweitzer. of
Indiana borough, fell off the roof of a coal
house, on Tuesday, and fractured his arm.

Two largo bay horses were stolen from J. B.
Moorhead, of Fairview township, on the 20th

curred, if at all, in some other Erie county.
Blair Countt. Four young Hollidaysbur

John M'Laughlin and Samuel Garrett, left in
the cars for UtalR Their purpose, we believe,

giant proportions before they get through with
their adventure. They started on the 9th inst.

ing was in the occupancy of an old man named
Smith. Loss about $300.
Green Countt. The County Temperance
Society at a late meeting resolved to support
no man for office who manufactures or uses
intoxicating liquors.
Disunion Hints. The traveler Burckbardt
relates a curious custom of the Arab guides on
the journey to .Nubia. It appears that when
ever they bring the solitary tourist to a pecu
liarly desolate or dangerous locality, they de
mand a gratuity, and by way of enforcing the
extortionate movement, thev fashion a rough
little semblance of a tomb in tbe sand, placing
a stone at either end, thus hinting the fatal
consequences of a refusal. Burckhardt savs
that he liked this particular guide so well that
ne aid not give him the trouble ot going
through this ceremony when he first asked for
his gratuity, but banded him what he thought
sufhcient for the whole trip. But coming in
a short time to another dangerous pass, the
guide had the audacity to renew his request,
and accompanied it with the solemn little
structure on the ground. Whereupon, the
traveller dismounted and gravely made a mate
for the miniature tomb, 'remarking that as he
and his guide had been friends in life, it was
not tit that they should be separated in death
"At Ibis," says Burckhardt, "the guide burst
out laughing, and nothing more was said a
bont the matter."
This trivial "narrative is not so very nnliko
the incidents which are always likely to ac
company the obtrusion into the debates of
Congress of the disunion menaces of South
ern members. The sepulchre with which
they attempt to frighten tho North into com
pliance with their whims, is apt to lie duplica
ted in tne speech ot some k rcc boil champion,
anumcn, as u tne retort gave complete sat
isfaction, things move forward harmoniously
Ihus, during the recent discussion in the
Senate, Mr. Hammond, of S. C. showed the
superior power of the South to outlive disu
nion, implying that event would prove the
grave or the .North. liutMr. Hamlin of Maine.
with much greater plausibility, showed that
tne danger of fatal consequences would be
clearly, on the other side. Upon these pre
sentations, senator Crittenden, a Southern
gentleman, considered that tho two sections
could uot get along without each other, and
never ought to make the attempt ; and that
was the last of disunionism in tho Senate de
bate. Boston Journal.
Senator Bigler. The Philadelphia Press,
(Democratic,) in noticing the defeat of the
Lecomptonites in the lower House of Con
gress, raps our own Bigler' over the knuck
les in the following style :
"But the most remarkable demonstration a-
gamst the patriotic action of the House, is
that of Senator Bigler, of this State. There
is not a decent man in Pennsylvania who will
not cry shame!' upon such ignorant audacity.
This man who is covered all over with pletN
ges in favor of a fair election in Kansas, who
voluntarily committed himself against the Le
compton Constitution because it bad not been
submitted to the people, and who knows that
Kansas cannot be made a slave State, save by
fraud of the most infamous character now
comes forward to say that he had hoped to see
Kansas coming into the Union as a Slave State !
Our proud State has been repeatedly humilia
ted by the weak and wretched tergiversations
of Senator Bigler. He was an early and a
voluntary deserter of the principle of popular
sovereignty when tho Kansas bill became a
law; he is now eager to signalize himself by
destroying that principle. But his present at
titude demands a new degradation to himself,
and a new insult to his constituents. And he
has been equal to both. A more studied dis
regard of the popular will, and a more arro
gant perversion of principles and of facts,
never was witnessed."
The Sabbath in New Orleans. Among
other excitements at New Orleans on Sunday
afternoon last, was a grand balloon ascension
at the corner ofAnnunciation andThalia streets,
by one Mrs. Marble, an ex-captive of the
Sioux Indians. During the inflation of the
balloon, Mrs. M. entertained visiters with the
history of her Indian captivity ; a band of
mnsic performed, accompanied by the cele
brated Indian drummer boy ; gifts were given
away to the purchasers of tickets ; and the en
tertainment wound up with Mrs. Marble's as
cent in the balloon. A horrid desecration of
the Sabbath day truly.
A Desperate Character Shot. Cant;
Charles Lenbart, a notorious desperado in
Kansas was shot, andt it is annnmoH mn.i.n-
wounded, in a fight at Geary City, on the 18th
mi. lurenerea at a gambling table, where
some other ruffians were playing, when one of
them shot him. Tt i. nnt i
but it is a fact, that Lenhart is the man who
shot Sheriff Jonea in T.
cing of tb.9 Kansas trouble, '
The English are looking for great news from
India. Sir Colin Campbell has been managing
the mutineers in good style, clearing tbe
country of them as he advances, and suffering
them to drift in great numbers into Lucknow
where they are thought to be an hundred
thousand strong. Upon that place Sir Colin
was at last accounts moving with his whole
available force, and by the next mail from
India, the intelligence of the decisive contest
with the mutineers is anticipated.
Massachusetts is retaliating on South Car
olina for tbe latter's encouragement of Brooks
and Keitt, Sumner's assailants, by removing
Judge Loring from office for the. part he took
in the Burns fugitive slave case, and voting
the sum of $3500 to Wm. II. Ela,as an indem
nity for injuries suffered by a charge upon him
by a portion of the Boston-brigade, at the
time of the rendition of Burns. The best
policy would have been to let South Carolina
and ether fire-eaters alone in their glory.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CUEWERS.
Dr. Giittav Unnard' Taste Restorative Troches,
the Great Snhitititte for Tobarro. It is a well
known and incontrovertable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause ot many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as cureful an-
aiaisami ion" and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it contaiascertnin narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange the
lunctions ard operations of the Heart, causinz ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"lasto Restorative Troches ' are dcsitrned to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed bv ercat indulgence, complete
ly removing tbe irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of tbe Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the Stom-
acn, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
tneir constitutions and shortening their lives.
should use these Troches immediately and thro
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
v-newmg.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cenis peruox. A liberal discount to the trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should be addressed.
