CI.EARFIELD, PA., APRIL 27, 1859.
The Ltcexsb Law. The Legislature of this
State at its recent session passed a supple
raeut to the license law, which provides "that
it shall be lawful for the several courts of quar
ter sessions of this Commonwealth to hear pe
titions, in addition to that of the applicant, in
favor of, and remonstrances against the appli
cation of any person applying to either of them
for license to keep a hotel, inn or tavern, and
thereupon refuse the same, whenever, in the
opinion of said court, such inn, hotel, or tav
ern is not necessary for the accommodation of
the public and entertainment of strangers and
travelers ; and so much of the sixth section of
the Act of Assembly, relating to the sale of
intoxicating liquors, passed the twentieth day
of April, 1838, is repealed: Provided, That
the several Courts of Quarter Sessions empow
ered to grant licenses shall have and exercise
such discretion, and no other, in regard to the
necessity of inns and taverns, as is given to
said Courts by the act relating to inns and tav.
cms, approved 11th March, 1831." This sup
pletnent has been signed by the Governor, and
is therefore part of the law.- Under the act
of 1856, the Courts could exercise no discre
tion, or hear remonstrances against granting
licenses. The supplement is.thcrefore,a very
important one.
"XewBocxdaet Dispcte. The Oregon trea
ty of 154C defines the line between the United
States and British Possessions as running a
long the 48th parallel of north latitude to the
middle of the channel which separates the con
tinent from Vancouver's Island, thence south
erly through the middle of said channel and
of Fuca's Straits to the Pacific Ocean." There
are many such channels, and a dispute has
arisen as to the ono intended. This dispute
has suspended the operation of the North
western Boundary Commission. The Ameri
cans claim tbat the line should run through
the Canal de Ilaro, and the English that it
should run through the straits cf Kosario.
This places in dispute several inlands, tho
chief of which is San Juan. On this a num
ber of Americans have settled, and others are
prepaiing to pre-empt - land there. The Eng
lish are also settling there and it seems pro
bable they will soon be quarreling. The Or
egon and Washington papers are expatiating
upon the difficulty.
Qcextix Dckwako, by Sir Walter Scott.
Peterson & Brothers have sent us, in the above
named volume, the fifth number of their cheap
edition of the works of Sir Walter Scott, and
a popular edition it is too, and we are glad to
find they have made a tremendous hit with
this cheap edition of the Waverly Novels.
There is a constant demand for these works,
and here at last we have an edition for the
million each volume costing but twenty-five
cents, and the whole series comprised in 20
volumes being furbished for the small sum of
five dollars. Such an opportunity to obtain
these fictions has never before been presented
to the masses of this country. Address all
orders to T. B. Petersen & Bros., 306 Chest
nut street, Philadelphia.
The War PaosPEcr. The Washington cor
respondent of the New Turk Ilsrald says:
The State Department is in receipt of letters,
brought by the last European steamer, from
onr Ministers in England, France, Madrid and
Vienna. The indications, write Messrs. Dal
las and Mason, are anything bet peaceful. The
impression is universal among leading men
that a general European war will sooner or la
ter convulse the entire continent of Europe ;
that the Peace Congress which is to assemble
may postpone, but cannot prevent it.
Accepted. Richardson L.Wright and John
Rove, the candidates of the Buchanan State
Convention for Auditor General and Surveyor
General, have accepted the nomination. They
do not say they stand upon the platform laid
down by the Convention, but merely take the
honor as it was tendered. Mr. Wright hopes
that "peace and concord, union and harmony,
may reign in the councils ot the party." Will
his hopes be realized ?
The Seventy-six members of the last House
of Representatives who voted in favor of rais
ing the rates of postage were almost identi
cally the very seventy-six men who voted
against the homestead bill and those seventy
six all were Administration men. "
A Relic or the Deep. An iron safe, with
$20,000 in gold Inside, which was sank in
Lake Erie some six years ago, was recently
recovered by the express company to whom
it belonged, and is now in use at their office
in Cincinnati.
The America Feeejiasox for April is to

and instructive character. It contains much
useful information on Masonic History, Law,
Architecture, Miscellaneous reading, &c.
'Th Atlantic Mosthxy for May is before
, filled with choice Reading. t J.
toned periodical, and its contributions are ex
clusively by American authors. Jt is as it
deserves to be, well patronized. '
la the case of the slaver Echo, the officers of
which have bees tried at Charleston, S. C, the
jzrj has returned a verdict of not guilt.
THE SICKLES TRIAL.
The trial of Hon. Daniel E. Sickles for the
murder of Phillip Barton Key is still in pro
gress at Washington city, but it is expected
that it will be brought to a close sometime
during the present week. A correspondent
of the -ew York Tribune, in a recent letter,
makes some good points upon this tedious case,
of which even the Counsel are becoming tired.
Of the trial and the Judge, he says :
"Itjs the same old story, day after day.
More talk to the Jury than reasoning address
ed to the Court, more reasoning and psuedo
reasoning than testimony, more testimony
than evidence relative to the issues in the
cause. Little or no scandal, few animated
passages between counsel and only one of
personal altercation. The Judge has little to
say except when called upon to decide a point:
exercises little authority, is littte respected.
He might shorten the length of the trial ma
terially if he chose;but he docs not attempt it."
Of the dock and Mr. Stanton he remarks :
Mr. Sickles is shown by his obsequious at
tendants into the dock, a fenced quadrangle,
reaching to his neck, in front of which usual
ly sits the leading counsel on behalf of defense,
Mr. E. M. Stanton, in a mass of hair and
beard, oot of which occasionally leaps, like
a tiger from a jungle, the mast sudden, the
roughest and loudest ot voices. On Thursday,
when this roz of praeterta mulla had full
sway of the Court room, a blind man would
have thought that all the bulls in Bashan
were there. . .
On letter-writers and the manufacture of
sympathy for the defense,he makes the follow
ing comments :
'Many of tho letter-writers from this place
are, wittingly or unwittiugly, used to advance
the interest of the defense. I anilar,from mean
ing to impute any unworthy motives to them,
or from intending to say that the reports of
tho proceedings in Court are otherwise iru
partial. But little impressions of sympathy
creep into letters and preface reports, and un
important incidents are magnified into histor
ic events. Certain persons who have volun
tarily attached themselves to Mr. Sickles and
his cause have much to do with these demon
strations, which, however intended, have the
enact of prepossessing people in favor of the
prisoner."
Referring to the story of the large company
of ladies who were said to have offered to tes
tify their sympathy with Mr. Sickles by their
presence in Court, he expresses regret at the
necessity of spoiling so touching a story, and
adds :
"These are the facts : Three "ladies," tem
porary denizens of the National Hotel, where
Mr. Sickles, sen., tarries one of tbeui from
Tauipico, one from Philadelphia, ono the
principal of a femalo seminary near Boston,'
all three toward the fifties "come in a body
to express "their sympathy for the son," and
to suggest, that if desired, they would, "daily
present themselves at the "Court House."
They spoke in tho name ol tho Washington
ladies.
Treasure from a Wkpxk. At the offices
of Messrs. Abcll andLanglcy, bullion brokers,
London, there are now to be seen gold bars of
the value of 11,000, and silver bars valued at
4000, fished up from the wreck of the British
ship Lutine, which was lost off the coast of
Holland, on the 9th of October, 1709. After,
sixty years immersion, the gold looks as fresh
as if it had just been taken out of the bank.
The silver bars, on the other hand, have be
come almost black under the action of salt wa
ter; and some of the dollars, which have been
almost all saved, are so much corroded that
they are worth only one to two shillings each.
Politicians should never meddle with Scrip
ture. It is something of which they know
but very little ot best.and it is unsafe for them,
therefore to touch it. In his letter to Hon.
David Hubbard, Gov. Wise of Va., says:
"The Reubens have tried to sell me into
Egypt for my dreimlng." The Governor has
reference, doubtless, to the story of Joseph
being sold into Egypt, but, unfortunately, he
has got it all wrong. "Reuben," it so hap
pens, was the only one of the brethren who
did not icant to sell him. The Governor should
join a Bible class right off, and let Goggin go.
Judge Wilson, of the U. S. Court it Cleve
land, backed down from his position, and ac
ceded to the demands of the counsel for the
defendants in the Slave Rescue case, granting
them a new jury. The trial of Charles Lang
ston was then proceeded with. Slow progress
is being made, and the prospects are good at
the present rate, for the trial of the "thirty
seven" to extend into 1860. The evidence
now being brought out is generally the same
as that upon tho former trial, save the identi
fication of Langston as one of the crowd of
rescuers.
The Political Pkospect. A Washington
correspondent of the New York Express says,
that after the adjournment cf the last Con
gress, the Speaker, Mr. Orr, of South Caroli
na, was requested by a friend to give him bis
views on tl.e political future. Mr. Orr re
plied, without hesitation "in my opinion tho
Opposition will organize the next House of
Representatives, and if they select a conser
vative, national condidate, will also select the
next President."
A New Filibcster Scheme. The St. Louis
Republican calls attention to a secret move
ment among the emigrants at Pike's Peak
for the organization of an expedition to take
possession of the Mexican provinces of Sono
ra and Chiahnahua. A consultation has al
ready been held over this matter at St. Joseph,
and probably at some other points on the bor
der, and ' prominent parties in St. Louis are
cognizant of. the movement.

York Coustt. The measles are prevailing
in the southern section ot Wrightsvillo. . . .
On the 0th April, Mr. Geo. Odenwald, of York
was severely injured by being thrown from
his horse, which, in afterwards leaping over
a fence, broke its neck. . . . An aged citizen
of Wrightsville, Wm. Wilson, Sr., fell into
the canal basin on the 16th, and .would have
doubtless been drowned had not two men been
close by and rescued him. ... Major John
Maguirc, of York, in attempting to descend a
flight of stairs, on the 19th,missed his footing
and fell to the bottom, injuring himself so
severely that be died the following Sunday. . .
Considerable excitement prevails in the upper
end of the county, in consequence of the ap
pearance of a wild animal of the cat species,
which lias been making night hideous by its
cries. It is described as being about three
feet in length, and eighteen inches in heigth,
and of a reddish color with variegated spots
on its back. Several attempts have been
made by citizen 1 of that portion of the county
to capture the animal but without succces.

A man named Thomas Duncan, a resident of
Blalrsville, and recently employed in the con
struction of the new railroad bridge at E bens
burg, was drowned in the canal basin on the

but without avail. The remains were taken
to Blairsville, where his wife and family re
side. . . . One of the puddling furnaces at the
Cambria Iron Works exploded on Friday last,
resulting in the slight injury of oue of the
workmen and the partial destruction of the
furnace roof. On the lath a most terrific ex
plosion occurred at Puddling Furnace No. 12,
resulting in the breaking of many iron plates
connected therewith and the almost entire
wreck of the furnace. A "helper" was slight
ly injured.
' Blair Colxtt. An unusual amonnt of
sickness, of a catarrhal and pneumonic char
acter, is prevailing among the children of
Hollidaysburg. . . . hwst Air. W acbob was
engaged plowing a field at the east end of
Hollidaysburg, on the 13th iust.; a segar box,
containing the remains of a still born infant,
was turned up. It is prtibably another case
of" infanticide. . . . Mr. Harvey Stewart, of
Scotch Valley, recently lost two horses by
poison, making seven in all that he has lost in
this way within a year. . . . A young man
named Cams was killed by a horse kicking
him on the side of the head, on the 11th,
whilst being put in the stable. He was re
siding with Mr. Wm. Learner, in Frankstown
township, where the accident occurred
Mr. Elijah Boring was seriously injured, on
the 12th, by the falling of an arch nt the
Frankstown furnace. . . . Mr. John Funk, of
Allegheny township, was thrown from his
horse a couple weeks since, and considerably
injured.
Beaver Cocstt. John D. Stokes, of Bea

from a tree which lie was engaged in trim
ming. He had siezed hold of a branch which
proved unsound, and breaking he fell with
much violence upon the railing of a fence,
injuring his head and shoulder very severe
ly. . . . The JlrgM says : "From all we can
observe, wc do not think the fruit has as yet
been seriously injured. We continue to re
ceive encouraging accounts lrom nearly all
sections of the county in relation to the grow
ing grain crop. We are told that with excep
tions here and there, the wheat, particularly,
looks very well, notwithstanding it presented
the appearance, a month or six weeks ago, of
being badly winter killed.
Clarion Coostt. An individual bearing
the distinguished name of Benjamin Franklin,
was arrested atFreyburg, this week, upon the
charge of forgery upon the Leaver County
Bank. The amount of the note upon which
he realized the money was one thousand dol
lars. A good portion of the money was found
upon his person. His whereabouts was dis
covered by means of letters directed to his
wife and of hers to him. He was conveyed to
Beaver in charge of two officers to await his
trial.
Clistos CorvTY. A frame house, owned
by Mr. David F. Lrng, above Farrandville,
was partly destroyed by fire on the 30th tilt.
The Furniture was entirely consumed. . . The

on the night of the 22d and was drowned. . . .
On the 22d, a dog bit four of the children of a
Mr. Jones of Harrisburg, and as the dog has
since died in a spasm, it is feared be was
mad. . . . The killing of dogs continues at
Harrisburg several mad ones have been dis
patched within a few days past.
Wheat from El roi-e. This seems a strange
perversion of the proper and natural current
of trade, but wc have advices, by the last
steamer, ot the shipments of this article to
Philadelphia. A lot of eight or nine thou
sand bushels on its way from Liverpool, is
now offered for sale by samples, and will pro
bably pay a good freight. Hurrah for Demo
cratic rule ! How the country is prospering
under it ! Importing breadstuff's into an agri
cultural country ! Well, that is the latest!
We will go on importing dry goods, bread
stuffs, etc., until the people have no means to
buy, and then we will go smash .' Splendid
policy! Great country I
A Sad Mistake. A man living near Nash
ville, who had been absent in California some
three years, on coming home recently, found
a babe only three mouths old lying in the
cradle. With a cruelty utterly diabolical, he
at once cut off the infant's cars to avenge his
"wounded honor." The screams of the little
sufferer called in the family, when the infnri
ated man learned that the child belonged to
a neighbor who was visiting his wife. He
had to fleo to escape a lynching.
Pr&aching to Some Purpose. A deacon in
one of the Hartford (Conn.) churches, a few
days ago, found a gold watch and chain be
longing to his minister's wife, wrapped up in
his morning Courant on the door step. They
were stolen from her two months since, at a
parish party, and as the minister preached two
sermons at the time upon stealing, the rogue
apparently could not stand the pressure.
A New Name for Them. In Vermont
they have what are called "Cow Boy" Demo
crats which are defined to be "professed

LIFE IN IOWA. .
The last Cambria Tribune contains the sub
joined extract from a letter written by an old
J ohnstowner residing in Iowa. His humorous
description doubtless gives us a truthful view
of life in that part of the Far West,! and we
commend it to tho attentive perusal of such
of our readers as have been thinking of emi
grating to Iowa. The letter was written some
time last month :
"I thiuk the best thing that could be done
with this country would bo to try to get the
Indians to come buck and live here, and make
them a present of the State with the improve
ments ; for it is not fit tor a white man to live
in. - Perhaps you will not 'believe what I tell
you about this country, but 1 assure you it is a
fact what I am going to tell you now. Last
week a team of four horses actually stalled
with an empty wagon. The roads arc impas
sable. Last October they got' muddy, and we
have not seen thtee. weeks since that time
without mud, and then it was froze-up and so
rongh that wo could hardly go afoot. No per
son can form any idea of it who never saw it
You have seen it when it was muddy from
ruins, but never when the frost was coming
out. R was here last Thursday. There is a
screw loose now, and a few more days will
break a bolt, and I am inclined to think the
bolt pin will break, for a sicker chiid than R.
you never saw- He declares that if the mud
is not dried up in twelve days from Thursday,
he will leave Iowa this Fall, for be says that
when he goes to feed his cattle his boots are
hardly long enough to keep the mud out. He
is cut ot wood and cannot haul any. The on
ly way ho can get any thing to burn is to pull
bark off his fences, and they have been at that
now for near two weeks. I am nearly out of
wood myself. I have been burning the fence
around the lot where I live, and I hive got it
nearly all burned up. When that is all gone
I do not know what to do ; but if I can do no
better, I will pull the weatherboarding off the
bouse and burn that. - The mud got so deep In
front of my house that I had to lay boards
down to walk on, and several of the poor,
dumb Hoosiers did not know w hat use there
was in doing' that, but waded through the
thickest of the mud. Poor old Ben; he may
be dead, for all I know, for I have not heard
from him for some time. I will write him a
letter some day, lor I know that be must be
out of heart, for he was that last fall; but if
yon have sent him ?50, I think it will bring
him to life again, and perhaps start him in an
other land speculation. Well, he may bny land
as much as he pleases, if he wants to ; but for
my part, I would not give a fist full of buck
wheat bran for the best section of land in Iowa.
The first fruits of the Paraguay arrangement
have just reached the Uuited States. A dralt
for ten thousand dollars, minus the difference
of exchange, has been received at tl.e Depart
ment of State, as an indemnification to the
family of the seaman who was killed on board
the "Water Witch" in February, 18-3-3, by a
shot from the Paraguayan fort, when that
steamer was on bet way to explore the Parana
river.
A faithless, heartless wife left her husband
at Sandusky, Ohio, last week, to elope with
another man, who, in turn, deserted a wife and
family. The deserted husband was dying with
consumption, and expired next day. His wife
stripped the house of all the furniture it con
tained before she left, except a cooking stove
and the couch cn which the" wretched hus
band lav.
The Rock Island Jlrgus has the following in
a late letter from tho Pike's Peak gold mines :
"In Arrapahos county there are from eight to
twelve hundred poor devils, like myself, bunt
ing gold, bnt not finding any. At present we
are preparing to skin the spring emigration,
which is to be done by disposing of town sites
and bad whiskey."
