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

were not secret, and members were at times.

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.

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.

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
