ANOTHER MURDER IN BLAIR COUNTY.- On Monday evening of last week another .cold blooded and daring murder was commit ted in the borough of Hollidaysburg, the fol lowing brief ac:-.ount of which we take from the Register. Up to the present time the murderer has not and it is thought he will not be arrested, as he took a hurried leave on the railroad eastward. It may be as well that he -should not be taken at all as to be brought back a candidate for the intense sympathy .of a Blair county Jury. The Register says : —On Monday night last there was a•dance at the house of James R. Johnston, on the South •side of the canal nearly opposite Leech's • Warehouse, to which a daughter of a man called Jim Davis had gone, contrary to his wishes, and about which he became very much excited, and sent word to Mrs. John ston that if his daughter did not leave imme diately he would shoot. The daughter is said to have left, but it would appear unob served by Davis, for it seeems that he repaired to the boat on. which he was boating, lying on the opposite side of the canal, - ,got out a gun loaded with 'heavy shot, and fired into the door of Johnston's house, killing John ston on the spot. Davis then. disappeared ; .and has not yet been arrested. P. Port offers a reward of $lOO for the murderer: and the brother of the de ceased we understand offers $l5O additional. HAVE You SEEN S,urt—Last year about 'this time, gain was a very important fellow in his own estimation.' He put on pompous airs; with his forefingers stuck between the 'buttons of his vest, he swaggered about with - 41-knoWiiig look and very consequential shake 'Of the head. But, oil ! what a change one short year,has produced in Sam's, prospects ! Poor fellow ! he has come out at the little end of the horn. He undertook to do a.large business upon his own wits, and failed for the want of stock. He thought he was fool .mg the world, but he has just discovered that he was making.a fool or himself. l3nt where is Stun? No one knows ; like his ancestor Cain, he is a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth ; and if every one that lindeth him does not slay him, it is because no one considers him worth killing. If a man meets him on the street, he-turns, his head, holds his nose, and passes by on the other side. It is said that Sam may be found in Congress, sitting , and voting with the Black Republicans. In Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecti cut he is so much like the abolitionists that one .cannot be distinguished from each other. In many of the Southren States Sam is no where. Sheriffs, with a posse and track dog, have not been able to '.find him ; and - it is re ported, that he has gone to Canada on the under-ground railroad. The late of poor . .Bam . should be a warning to all fast young men, who imagine they can :manage the world by falsehood, tomfoolery and humbug. Time generally discloses the fact they are the :green horns, and whilst they think they are fooling the Worldi,they are only acting' the part of a clown for the world's amusement. WHAT IS A TURNER —ln the recent trial of the German Turners for riot in Cincinnati, some discusiion. arose as tolhe character of the German Turner's Society, when Judge 'Stalle, one of the counsel'said "The name means gymnast. It was estab liShed in Germany in connection with the. "Universities, to promote and . develop the physical man, and also for the improvement Of the mind. In Cincinnati it was a social organization, which assembled together for gymnastic exercises, and for the study of the sciences. The Turners of that city had a library of over seven • thousand volumes, comprising many. scientific and valuable works. Lectures were delivered to them both by German and American born citizens. The society was acharitable and benevolent one. ' the sick memberi being cared'for and the families of the deceased members w ed‘an,amount per week. Their. meetings were not secret, and members were at times. willing to listen to'the suggestions or ions of those not belonging to thern.,•_ , Per- SonS of all religious beliefs are admitted 'as members." _Sow. rr WAS DONE.--11 is reported that ex 4GOV.

Shaniefu - 1 but rather judicious movement for the unmarried. Reirolutibn in San riaucisco. The news from California, brought by the George:JAW, is very important: The city of San Francisco is in a state of revolution; the Vigilance Committee of 1851 has been reVi ved, and the people have risen en masse to expelfrom their midst the gamblers, vaga bonds, thieves and murderers with which that city has been so ler.g infested. The im mediate cause of this popular commotion was the murder of James -King, editor of the Bulletin; by James P - Casey, editor of the 'Sunday Times. • On ehe 14th of May, Casey' met King in the public streets and deliberately shot him. An article that had appeared in the Bulletin, accusing Casey, among other ihings, of hav ing been an inmate of Sing Sing Prison, was the alleged cause of - the murder. Mr. King lingered for some six days and died. lii the meantime the indignation of the peo ple was thoroughly roused. The excitement was unparalleled, and on the 21st of May, the day. the :steamer sailed, continued. The citizens organized themselves into military coinpanies, and on the 19th of May proceed ed to the jail for the pupas° of seizing Casey. The Sheriff and other officers dared make no resistance. to such an imposing force, which numbered some two thousand rifles besides fleld'artillery. - Clisey and Cora, the murderers of the late United States Marshal Richardson, were con sequently given up, and the two wretched beings' were carried to the rooms of the Ex ecutive Committee, whence, it was generally believed, they would only go out to execution. The whole proceedings of the people are de scribed as being solemn and orderly in the extreme. An Executive Committee has been in ses sion night_ and day trying the prisoners, and it is said that, after they have been disposed of ,all the gamblers in San Francisco will be driven from the city. We must _await the arrival of another 'steamer to learn - whether this great popular movement will be for good or for evil. The press of San Francisco, with the exception of the "Herald" believe that a thorough renovation will be effected. POSITION AND WEIGHT OF THE MIDDLE STATES.-S 0 much is said, in newspapers and private talk, about the North and South, about Massachusetts and South Carolina, that a foreign traveller would be led to suppose that the Middle States had little, or no voice, in he management of public affairs. Never, however,would he make a greater mistake. The Middle States, though less vociferous than either North or South, have really con trolled the Union from the first, they fought the war of independence, they fixed the char acter of the Constitution, and they have de cided the policy of these States ever since. For who were the men that directed the Revolution? It is only necessary to examine the archives of that time, to learn that the statesmen of the Middle States, from the hour that the first CongresS met, stood be tween the rabid policy of the New England delegates and the half-avowed toryism of members from other quarters. It was Wash ington, Jay, Franklin, and other comparative ly moderate men, bred in the Middle States, .who secured the success 'of the cause, by ,holding in check the Adamses and similar spirits, and affecting a compromise which threw a preponderating weight on the side of independence. It was: in the Middle 'States that-all the decisive battles were fought.. It was the . Middle States that furnished the greater portion of the sinews of war. Finally, it was public opinion in the Middle States, principally, that led to the adoption , of the present Constitution. 0/. We are aware that these assertions ate new to many. But if the history of the republic is sludied at the fountain nead, and not in the muddy waters of garbled and sectional his tories, the , facts will be found to sustain all that we nave said. Nor, since the adoption of the .Federal Constitution, has the part . played by the Middle States been less impor tani. As Hamilton and Madison, the two leaders of the Middle-States in the Conven tion, were the two principal authors of the' Constitution;• so Washington and Jefferson, also men of the Middle States, were the two controlling spirits who-set that Constitution fairly to work. Of the thirteen Presidents who have filled the Executive chair, seven have been chosen directly from the Middle States. If to these we add Harrison and Tay lor, both born and bred in the Middle States, the number is increased to eleven. A review of the great measures of different administra tions—a review which we regret we have not space to enter upon in detail—shows that none which did not meet the sanction of the Middle States have ever become incorporated into the permanent policy of the country. The most central of the - Middle States, the Keystone of the Arch, as it has been called, has never voted for a President who was not elected, and has .never voted, against one who was not defeated. Nor is it difficult to.solve.the cause of this influence on the part of the Middle States. Placed geographically between the two ex trenies of th republic, having a soil more fer tile than the North, and blessed with a cli mate more temperate and healthful than that of the South, the people of the Middle,States are physically and mentally, because physi cally, more evenly balanced than those .on either side.. What is true of- them in this re spect, is true also of their descendants who occupy the'oTeat Middle States of the West: the people of Kentucky and Missouri as a whole, and of the southern halves of Ohio, In diana and Illinois. Less excitable than the populations on either_ side, perhaps even less brilliant; the inhabitants of thee parts of the Union are mere solid and judicial in their in tellect. They think slowly, but are general ly right. They are Characterized, in a word, by wisdom, rather than by showy mental „ qualities-. • In ;population and wealth, also, the' Middle States stand first. They have saved the Union more than once: they will . save it more thanamce again.. They are, in•fact, the:back bone,of the republic. Like a-majestic mount tain ridge, they interpose -between the tem pests that rage on either side, lifting their se rene heads above the uproar of sectional strife, high among the cairn and unmoved stars. , PUBLIC LEDGER. [From the Germantown - Telegraph.] Keep 'Down the 'Weeds. _ To THE EDITOR :--Every cultivated crop —and this head we.should embrace all the vegetables which are used as food by both man and beast—should be kept free from weeds. the injury' whioh.thesedo to most crops,'is far g reater than those who have not examined th subject Would soppose. MI weeds are great exhausters, and extract far more from the nutritive resources of the soil than cultivated plants of equal size and weight. Many of 'the 'native plants require five times the aliment which is necessary to support and mature an' equal weight of the most valuable grain plants. A field, there fore, which is infested by weeds, has Rh pro ducing powers very essentially diminished by thent without any advantage resulting to the owner, as every particle of nourishment which they assimilate is an actual and dead loss. It is said that "land well plowed is half hoed," and that "a crop once well hoed is twice hoed." Thoroughness in the per formance of these important details will ne cessarily effect much in cleansing the soil, and is one of the" most important practical lessons one can learn in farming. There are many kinds of spurious vegetation which can be subdued only by constant vigilance and care. Tge extreme hardiness of their na ture, and their perfect acclimation and won derful powers of procreation, render subjuga tion a task of difficult accomplishment, espe cially where the soil is rich; as in the ease of old fields whiCh have been long tilled, and heavily manured. many cases excessive foulness is perhaps most successfully reme died by sowing the land to grass, and mow ing it for a few seasons. This will generally weaken the worthless growth, and when the soil is again broken, care in the management of the cultivated crops, for a few years, wi,l enable the operator thoroughly to eradicate the plants, and secure a clean and healthy condition, even in the worst cases. The grasses, from the peculiar structure of their roots, and physiolgical habitudes, soon prove fatal to most of the annual and biennial weeds, as they do also to many of the peren nials; but care must be taken to stock the land down well, so that all the surface may be occupied, and ae little space left as possi- • blo for the growth of the profitless plants. Clean seed, also, is an important desidera tum. Grass seed, as well as many of the grains,are often foul, and great injury is done by sowing it. Whenever a weed makes itt appearance, no time or labor should be lost in eradicating it, as its seed, if permitted to mature, will produce a progeny which may demand great labor and expense to subdue. "One year's .seeding makes seven years' weeding," says the old adage and most far mers have found it a true one. AN OLD FARMER. Northampton, Bucks county, May 28, 1856. The War In Kansas We find in the St. Louis News of Thurs: day evening two extracts from the Kansas City Enterprise, and. the Westport Border Times, which contain the followingitems.— The accounts are no doubt greatly OXf: ggera tcd: KANSAS CITY, June 2, 4 P. M J. M. Bernard, Esq., startedfrom St Bern ard for Westport' on Friday night—since which-time he has not been heard of. He is supposed to have been murdered. Messrs. John W. Foreman, 11. Hamilton and John Lax went in search of Mr. Bern ard, and were taken prisoners by the Aboli tionists, who threatened to murder them. It is also believed they have met their fate. Mr. Donelson, United States Marshal, and seven men, were attacked while riding quiet ly along the road, by about fifty -Abolition ists, who were secreted in and about a house near the road. A short conflict ensued, which resulted in the wounding of several of the Marshal'sosse and several Mr. Slade, pro-slavery, had his horse shot from under him in the fight. Mr. 11. M. Carty, just in from the Terri tory, states that abent'eight men of the com pany he belongs to, were attacked near Hie= kory Point—l seriously, injured. He re ceived a wound in the car., Mr. Carty came in for the purpose of raising men and hor ses, and 25 of Buford's men will start this evening or in the morning to-the rescue.— They need horses badly. . Mr. Banks, just in from Bull Creek, states that he met Mr. Connelly, who was wounded in the thigh. Captain Pate's company went to Hickory Point to suppress further outrages by the abolitionists, and was attacked by about oue hundred and fifty of of the latter, when two of his men were killed. A second conflict was expected, and the messenger thinks that if. it happened the probability is that all .of Mr. P.'s party, which numbered forty or fif ty, were killed. P. S.—Since the above was written, we have learned that Capt. Pate's company had a second fight, and thirteen of his party were killed. Capt. Pate and Mr. James M'- Gee fell victims to the battle. LITER We learn since the above was put in type that nine Abolitionists were• killed at Black Jack-four pro-slavery men were wounded, two (reported dead above) mortally. Capt. Long's company of Wyandott Indi ans were united with Capt. Pate's company, and fought with great valor in their original mode of warfare. The following are the 'only items on the question from the Border pines office, which are not contained in the above : We learn from reliable despatches just re ceived from Capt Pate's company—now at Hickory Point—that, Ho,. John Donaldson was ki:lled by the Abolitionists _on. Friday last. A pro-slavery man—an old'gentleman na med Boyle, who lived at Hickory POint, was robbed and driven from his farm a few days ago, by the Abolition thieves. He_ is now in this place; They stole all of - his money and three fine hoises, then drove him and his family off. night last, the Deputy Marshal's posse was fired on from Wakefield's house, near Lawrence, and two of his men wounded and one horse killed. The party were then taken prisonres by about eighty -men, and kept over night, They were insulted in eve ry possible' .manner, and threatened many times with instant death. .But finding that they. had arrested a United States officer an& his possee, the prisonerswere released. Murders, .ro_bberies, and assassinations are daily occurrences in the Territory. The Kansas Rebellion - Manu.factured, to Order. 4 is 11, mistake, and a serious 'mistake, to suppose that the recent difficulties .in and about Lawrence were occasioned by any con siderable number of bona fide Kansas set tlers froni the free States. We have expreS sed (says the Detroit Free Press) the confi dent opinion that the collision at Lawrence was predetermined by the northern abolition presidential operators—that the resistance to the execution of legal process was pre-arran ged for the sole and express purpose of pro_ Curing the very result over which so much excitement is sought to to be raised. The plan was so comprehensive as to embrace the manner and the means of spreading the ex aggerated accounts of the affair brought to us by the telegraph. If proof, - other than that which the whole transaction- wears upon its face, were wanting toy convince even the skeptical that we did not express a mistaken opitdon, it is to be found in the subjoined intercepted letter, addressed to Governor Robinson by one of the Lawrence rebels. It bears date, :-"Lawrence, May 13-3, P. M.," and was Sent after Robinson, who had left for the East "GovEnsmt ROBINSON.—The bearer of this is one of us. We have, since you left, in ad dition to the forces, 980 more to join us, all well armed, and will give the border ruffians h—, - whenever and wherever we find them. But be sure and send us more of rifles, pow der and ball. We must have two more pie ces of cannon to plant on the north east con ner of the fort. In the morning we intend to send our women and children to different parts of the Territory. Before this reaches you, you will hear of a slaughter among the pro-slavery men and ruffians in case he can not see you immediately. We want more men, if you can prevail on them in Ohio, Mas sachusetts, and New York, to come immedi ately. Call on Greeley, Seward, Banks, Campbell, Beecher, etc. Do not call on Fill more's friends; if you do we may be betray ed before the election comes off. See 'Beech er yourself, and have the prayers of all the churches in behalf of liberty, freedom, and the entire annihilation of the rebels of the Southern States. While writing news has just come of 150 more men armed, making in all 2,760 well armed and well drilled men, well experienced -and brave officers.— .Reeder is still with us. They think he has left the . place. Write as soon as you make the right impression on the eastern people.— I think we can hold out three or four mouths with provisions, &c., except powder and ball. "By order of the Committee. Be sure and take care of this. Don't let the man in Lexington get it." The address upon this letter was "Gov. Robinson, Independence, or Lexington, or Jefferson city." Is it not a precious docu ment ? Does it not throw a flood of light upon the " free-State" operations in Kan sas ? There is no doubt of its genuineness. Bargains! Bargains ! rpHE goods in Col.

To School Directors i Decision No. 11, on page 56 of the Pamphlet copy of the " School La* and Decisions;" does not 'correspond With the getiefal practibe iher the State; and is also found to he erronemis to some extentas a Matter of law, inasmuch at+ it irriproperly exempts " trades, occupationS and professions," of a less value than two hundred dollars, from taxation for School purposes. It was so regulated to cor respond with the State tax on occupations, but the 29th and 30th sections of the School Law adjust the School tax to the County as well as State tax; and as occupations under two hun dred dollars arc not exempt from taxation for County purposes, it follows as a necessary con sequence that they are liable to taxation for School purposes. The various acts of Assembly, with regard to County tax are exceedingly ob. scure and unintelligible with regard to the man. net- of assessing the tax on occupations; hut the soundest rule of practice to be gathered from them will be for Directors to assess " oc cupations" for School purposes at such rate per cent., as the necessities of the District may re quire, not exceeding thirteen mills on the dollar, except where the tax at the rate thus fixed would not amount to fifty cents, in which case it should be fixed at that specific sum, accord. ing to the proviso to the 30th section of the School law. Where the duplicate has already been made out, Directors can recall ard'amend it accord ing to the instructions contained in this circu. lar.
