Circulation—the largest in the, County
SEE NEVI Anv.—Estate notice of John
Conrad, dec'd. Six hundred five gallon kegs
wanted. Proclamation by Chief Burgess
Cremer. A farm of 210 acres for sale on
the 14th June.
The Sober Second Thought
Some sixty gentlemen of the democratic
party in the county of Lauderdale, Missis
sippi, have published a card announcing their
witndrawal from the know-nothing organiza
tion. M. A. McKinnon, the president of the
know-nothing council at Oxford, Mississippi,
also publishes a card announcing his with
drawal, and giving a history of the origin,
progress, and plans of the order in that coun
ty. In this state, in every county : those who
were followers of the distinguished leaders
of the Democratic and Whig parties, are dai
ly withdrawing from the Know-Nothings.—
Indeed there seems to be a general "cave in"
of the order in all parts of the country.
The Next State Pair
The Barrisburzers have succeeded in rais
in 2 the amount necessary (61.500) to insure
the holdincr of the next State Fair at that
place. The days fixed for the Fair, are Tees
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the
25th, 26th, 27th and 28th of SPptember next.
The annual aildress before the Society will be
delivered by the Hon. FREDERICK WATTS, of
Carlisle, its first President.
When shall we look upon its like again.?
The Herald and Free Press, the only
Whig paper published in Montgomery coun
ty, gives the Know-Nothings a severe thrust
under the fifth rib in the following :
"In the whole history of Pennsylvania
von may turn in vain to find another Legis
lature as that just adjourned—particularly the
lower branch of it. Reckless, corrupt and
irresponsible, it rushed wildly into every
scheme which was presented before it, and
we cannot now call to mind any measures
which seemed in danger of defeat or over
throw, except those which were calculated to
benefit the people or advance the interest and
prosperity of the State. Selfi.shness stood
out as the great leading pr;nciple and person
al benefits and advantage were the chief
ends to he accomplished, in its whole career
of legislation. if we are to believe its Mem
bers, corruption stalked abroad at noon-day,
bold and unblushing in its venality, and men
could be found who would chaffer and huck
ster to the value of a cent as to the consider
ation to be paid for services rendered. Let
us be thankful that at length such a body has
passed away, and pray earnestly that we nev
er "shall look upon its like again."
The Neva - Bounty Lana Law
The number of applications under this law
now amount to 10 I,BOG, and are still c.cming
in at a rapid rate. The Union says
It is probable that the Pension Office will
commence the issue of warrants about the
Ist of June next, as the engraving, of the
plates is rapidly progressing; !roady has a
portrait of the Secretary of the Navy been
completed for the 160 acre warrant, that of
the Secretary of the Interior for the 320 acre
warrant, and that of the Secretary of War
for the SO acre warrant. The portraits of
the President and others are still in the hands
of the engravers. The engravings already
executed are greatly admired by all who have
seen them, and are proud - evidences of Amer
ican skill and genius in this department of
the fine arts.
The commissioner has decided that the
:rights of a widow of a deceased soldier are
loSt in a second marriage, but are revived
again on the death of the second• husban-d.
If, howeyer. there be minor children living
of the first husband, they may claim in right
of their father during the second marriage.
A power of attorney cannot be executed un
til after the warrant has been issued.
There is about as much truth in the
following as there is 'in nine-tenths of the
Know-Nothing victories now going the
•
rounds of their papers :
"A mast residing in Humboldt county, Cal
ifornia, lately cut down a redwood tree, from
which he built a two-story frame house, 24
by 30 feet, and furnished complete ;
after
which he fenced in a ten-acre field with rails
split from the trunk, and sold enough to build
a good sized hotel. It was found, on meas
uring the remains of this forest monster, that
only thirty feet had been used altogether. At
least, so says the ,Sacramento .California)
Union."
Opinion of the Attorney General
The Attorney General has given the fol
lowing 'opinion, as to the operations of the
anti-licence law passeed by :the last legisla-
tare
Although the .14th section of the Act of
April 13th, 1855, entitled "An , Act to re
strain the sale of inzoxicating liquors," de
clares that no license wanted between Abe
date of the act and the first of July next,
shall authorize the retailing of liquors, by
innkeepers after the first day of October next,
yet the adt does not provide for
,any appor
tionment of the price of the license for a
less period than one year ; and 'innkeepers
whose licenses have been granted since the
date of the act, must therefore pay the price
of a whole year's license, to enable them to
continue their business until the first day of
October next, at which time all such licenses
will expire by the express terms of the law.
After the first day of July next, no licen
ses for the sale of intoxicating liquors can be
granted or issued in any other manner than
that provided by the act. Until the first of
July next, I am of . the opinion that the Coun
ty Treasurers -may issue licenses as hereto
fore. The applicants in such eases must pay
the prices now fixed by law for the whole
year ,- and the mercantile appraisers must
make their returns for the present year as
usual ; there being no change made in their
duties by the act, nor any provision for an
apportionment by them.
THOMAS E. FRANKLIN,
Attorney General.
1
Eaticaster, Rlay -10);
Every class of living things has its uses,-- 7 -
', its design and mission on earth; and no class
or kind can be exterminated without inflict
ing injury on the human family. Even in
sects have their uses and beneficial effects in
the economy of natrue. if they check veg
etation and reduce the crops, they in many
regions and districts prevent overproduction,
and exhaustion of the soil. But, while na
ture, has assigned to them a task and a use, it
has provided against the too abundant increase
of their numbers by making the insects them
selves food for the birds. But for the birds
the insects, worms and vermin would be
come so numerous as to destroy all, vegeta
tion. The feathered tribes keep down their
increase to a safe limit, and would thus
preserve a just balance in nature but for the
wanton propensity of man to destroy the
birds. A gin may be found in almost every
farm house in the country, and, while it is
useful for some' purposes, it destroys and
frightens away the best friends of the hus
bandman. They not only greet him with
their morning songs, and delight him with
their gay plumage, their infinite variety
and their active and sprightly industry, but
they protect his crops from the increase of
vermin that would destroy them. If they
devour a few bushels of his grain they corn':
pensate him for it by preventing the destruc
tion of ten times more than they claim as
their own reward.
Were we a farmer we would cultivate the
birds as assiduously as we would the domes
tic fowls, and would welcome them to an
undistnrbed home in our neighborhood.—
Their morning melodies are more delightful
than the best serenade of a city band. Their
cheerful activity gives life to the orchards,
the fields and the forests. They are pleasant
and harmless friends of man, and their wan
ton destructions is not only cruel, but most
injurious to the farmer and gardener.
PA
But strong as the reasons are that demand
an increase of the feathered tribes, man with
his murderous gun pursues them until in
thickly settled regions they are almost exter
minated. Were the uses of these birds un
derstood, and their melody, their innocence,
and their beauty duly appreciated, the guns
of the urchins and the sportsmen would al
most as soon be aimed at the domestic fowls.
A. writer in the Gennesscc Farmer, an excel
lent agricultural journal, has the following
just remarks on this subject:
Suppose the State of New York had a
thousand robins where it now has one, how
many caterp'llars, moths, worms, grubs. and
other voracious insects would these birds
consume ? If public opinion were only en
lightened on this subject, so as to protect all
insectivorous birds, we should soon cease to.
complain of cureulios, weevils peach tree
and apple tree borers, peabugs, and a hundred
garden bugs, flies, snails, grass hoppers,
lo
rusts, cotton and tobacco worms. «'e have
had opportunities for studying most of these
depredators and regard the unnatural destruc
tion of birds, or their expulsion, from all so
called civilized communities as the principal
cause of the increase of insects.
Let us study nature and observe how
nearly all the feathered tribes, with which
we are familiar, hatch their young at that
season of the year when insects and their
larva most abound, when to many millions
are daily consumed to feed the voracious
broods of rapidly . growinc , birds. In Mary
land and Virainia large flocks of turkeys are
reared expressly to be driven through tobac
co fields by children "to worm the crop."—
A turkey, from the time it is large enough to
eat a worm til it attains its fell growth, will
consume an incredible number of insects,
and forcibly illustrates an imporjant law.—
Barn yard fowls, doves, and pigeons may al
so be cultivated at a profit.
Were it not for the fact that insects devour
each other, and are destroyed in countless
_numbers every year by the bird 3, they might
soon accumulate to such an extent as to
sweep every vestige of vegetation from the
face of the earth. The extermination of all
the feathered tribes in wanton sport, and in
ignorance of Nature's laws, would tend rap-
idly towards such a result. There are very
few birds that do harm and their mischief
can be prevented by far better means than by
killing them. it should be made a penal of
fence to kill a harmleSs bird, for it is a
public injury. Nor is the injury in the ag
gregate a trifling one. Let every farmer cul
tivate birds, encourage their free and unmo
lested use of his forests 'and fields, and their
rapid multiplication -in his neighborhood.=
They will help to protect his
,crops, and in
crease their quantity. They may commit
some depredations but they will do fox him
±enfold more good than harm.
Nature's God has adjusted a nice balance
among all living things, and for a•wise and
bencficient purpose. If there were no in
sects and worms the ranknesS of vegetation
would soon exhaust the soil. If there were
no check to the multiplication of insects and
vermin they would soon destroy all vegeta
tion. The birds are the check. Tf mankind
for mere wanton sport destroys the birds the
insects and vermin increase, and the crops
are consequently reduced. Birds fit for food
may be killed for that purpose. But such
as are not used for food should not be de
stroyed.—Pit tburg post.
TEES END OF A GLUTTON.—English papers
mention the suicide of a Mr.',Raylstone, who
ten years ago was worth . one hundred and
fifty thousand pOunds sterling, which he has
since squandered in the gratification of his
appetite. He had agents in China, Mexico,
Canada, and other places.to supply him with
the rarest delicacies, and a single dish some
times cost him fifty pounds. At length, on
the 15th of last April, nothing was left him
but a solitary guinea, a shirt, and battered
hat. He bou7ht a woodcock with the guin
ea, which Ile had carved ,up in the highest
style of the culinary art; he gave himself two
hours for an easy digestion, and then jumped
into the Thaines from Westminster bridge.

News from the Seat of War.
Sebastopol not yet Taken--Attempts to
assassinate Napoleon---Critical posi
tion of the Allies---100,000 Russians
near Sebastopol---&c. &c
NEW YORK, May 18.—The steamer, Baltic
arrived this evening with Liverpool dates to
the sth.
The Allies are gaining ground. All the
Russian outworks were taken after sanguina
ry encounters, which were frequent. A large
number of Russian mortars were taken, with
many prisoners. The Sebastopol dates are to
the 4th.
Louis Napoleon narrowly escaped assassin
ation on the evening of the 28th. An Ital
ian fired two pistols at him while riding on
horseback. Personal revenge was the object
of the attempt.
There is nothing in the news from the
siege to warrant a result. The bombard.-
ment was much slacked, and had not pro
duced the result anticipated.
The position of the Allies is regarded as
critical. Notwithstanding the advantage
trained, the firing slacked on the 28th, in or
der not to exhaust the ammunition.
An immense Russian force is reported as
concentrating near Sebastopol . ; it is said to be
100,000 stronz:
Daily telegraphic communications are had
with the Crimea, but the Government is cap
tions with the news.
Lord Raglan admits that:the bombardment
has not produced the result looked for.—
The list of casualties to the Allies was not
heavy
The general impression in England is that
the siege will be abandoned for the present,
and the whole of Kannesch and Balakleva
left to defence by a few corpse. The main
portion of the Allies will try to penetrate into
the interior-, in order to cut off supplies to
Sebastopol, and then completely to invest the
town.
Numerous reinforcements were constantly
reaching the Allies. 'A French reserve of
80.000 men near Constantinople are expect
ing to be sent to Balaklava.
Russian official accounts, dated the 24th,
represent the damage as of but little account.
ft was actively repaired, while the skirmish
es were generally successful. The loss sus
tained by the garrison, from the llth to the
15th, was 7 subalterns and 436 men killed
and 6 superior, 34 subalterns officers and
1899 men wounded. The English captured
the first rifle pit on the nigh of the 17th, after
a desperate encounter, in which Col. Graham'
Errerton, a field officer in command, was kill
ed. On the 20th an attack was made . on the
2d Russian rifle pit, which was almost im
mediately abandoned.
According to the statement, of two Polish
deserters, 100,000 Russians were in the vi
cinity of Sebastopol, 60,000 of whom arri
ved from Sebastopol.
The forts on the north stale of the harbor
had taken part in the cannonade, carrying
shots clear intodhe lines of the. Allies.
.The telegraph to London from the Crimea
is perfect-except a small portion across the
Danube. Dispatches reached
_the "British
government in a few' hours, but Were not
generally communicated to the public, al
though nightly questions were asked in par
liament. The ministers declared that they
should exercise due discretion in the publica
tion of the news.
There was an insurrection in Ukraine,
Russia, which extended to three other gov
ernments. Twenty landed proprietors with
their wives and families have been destroy
ed.
GREAT BRITAIN—The loan bill of £16,-
000,000 was passed on the Ist by.the Com
mons, and on the same night was ordered to
be committed to the Lords.
The monthly returns of the Board of Trade
are short as contrasted -with the same month
last year, showing a falling off of about
£lOO,OOO. Metals have experienced the
decline, owing to the diminished demand for
iron in the United States.
Sir John Burgoy'ne before the Robuck
Committee.gave important evidence in rela
tion to the war in the Crimea.•
Latest Despatclt.—A. sharp engagement
took place on the night of the Ist of May.—
The front and left attack, of the whole Mis
sian rifle pits were taken, with 8 light mor
tars and 200 prisoners. The whole affair was
brilliant for the Allies.
