jgrWe learn that Police officers from
Philadelphia succeeded, on Monday last,
near Turbutsville, Northumberland coun
ty, in arresting Dr. Giltncr, one of a band
of counterfeiters, that infested that neigh
borhood for some time past. The officers
came upon them at the house of Giltner,
while in"thc act of manufacturing money.
Giltncr was not taken until after being
lUG l "
wounded by a rifle shot. The rest, we
understand managed to make their escape.
Dies, plates, and a large quantity of coun
terfeit money, were found on the premises.

,Vc learn from various pcr.-nus that
looe the New Berlin meeting a marked
change f public sentiment has taken
place in nearly all parts of the county
ia reference to the Susquehanna road, and
large Lumbers influential of men, who were
before hostile, owing to falsehoods whieh
bad been imposed upon them, aro fTow
satisfied on the subject, and have become
he firm friends of the road, and cheerfully
icrt their influence to maintain a souud
public opiuiou on the subject As an il
lustration, we may state, that a radical
and lead'iug Democrat, of Limestone town
ship, who acted agrinst the roa 1 at New
Berlin, assured us, yesterday, that in his
neighborhood tliey were now nearly all in
favor of the road, and he addc-1, " I be.-

We learn that a most cowardly assault I

ensville, npo Mr. Sbroat. a gentleman
engaged in that neighborhood in the manu
facture of Sarsapurilbi, by three wen,
who so beat and bruised bim that it is
feared he will not recover. We have not
the particulars, but are informed that the
principal weapons used by tbe cowardly
assailants, were atones, with which they
borrilly cut and bruised Mr. Sbroat, and j
seriously injured his skull. The three
men were arrested, but aro now at large,
on bail of $1000 each. Hinncy Luminary.

The Rqradiators meeting.
VTe had intended publishing the pro
ceedings of this part of the doings at New
Berlin ; but on looking over what purports
to be the official account in the Timet, we
find it so full of wholesale and monstrous
falsehoods that we decline imposing upon
our readers by inserting it in ottr eolnmm
It seems they did cot dara to put hi print
all the resolutions that were offered and
passed, as they savored altogether too much
of recklcsCTics and briuistona-for the pub
lic eye. Most of Jtioee which do appear
are mere leather and pruuella. and have
already been before the public. The most
important ore the two following, whieh
were offered by John Swiiieford, E.sc?.:
Resolved, That the citizens of Union
county are a law-loving and law-abiding
people, but when unjust acts are passed,
incompatible with and antagonistic of our
free institutions, we consider it our right
Und duty constitutionally to oppose such
acts.

sembly passed lately by our Legislature,
sanctioned. by the Governor and carried in
to effect by our Commissioners, vesting
power in them, without the coneut of the
people, to subscribe stock to the Suque

can in principle and detail, and that we
will resut the payment of S00,000 sub,
scribed by our Comrciiseioners upon the
ground that the subscription was fraudu
lently obtained.
Interpreting these resolutions by the
light of the speech made upon the occasion

With what propriety and consistency
professed Demncrats, both lay and official,
can deliberately volunteer sweeping and
unmerited censure upon the State Admi
nistration and the Legislature, we leave
to judgment of the mass of the party, and
to the " powers that be." They may per
haps cut the Gordian knot, as the only
practicable method of solving the difficul
ty. We see no other way of escape.
But when a body of nisn, many of them
claiming to be persons of respectability

was finally acted upon ; it was well known

attended, were held at the county scat and
iu this place, at which numerous speeches
were made, and strong resolutions unani-
inously adopted in favor of a County Sab-
scription ; committees of rejponsibie and
respectable gentlemen appointed to confer
with the County Commissioners ; and all
these proceedings published in the papers
at New Berlin and Lewisburg, warmly and
repeatedly endorsed in the Editorial col
umns and by coi respondents, and scattered
broadcast over the county, ia both German
and English ; yet, as in the else of the law
itself, scarce a murmur was beard, or any
audible expression of dissatisfaction what
ever The Commissioner were called up
on by different delegations, at different
times; the subject fairly and honestly hid
before them in its full merits; and in com
pliance with the published requests of large
portions of the people of tbe county, and
the implied consent of those who, with
full knowledge of these circumstances,
maintained a profound silence, a majority
of the Commissioners discharged the re
gponsibility which tbe law had devolved
upon them, by making the desired sub
scription. They did not act with preeipi
tate rashness, but only after public discus
sion and careful deliberation ; and, with
an enlightened regard for the ultimate in-
tcresta of their constituents, the contract
they did execute was remarkably cautious
and guarded in its terms, so as to ennre
to the direct and special benefit of the
county, in many important particulars, or
else be null and void.
Tct no sooner was this done, than the
Swiss merceuary of the Timet who, in
his double capacity of Editor and Commit
teeman, had urged the subscription antrl
Got. liigler's Whiskey Inspector, who
bad taken one hundred and fifty dollars in
the stock of the Company, set them
selves to work, by systematic dcfauiatioa
and falsehood that has seldom been paral
leled, to turn the county, up side down,
nullify by force of arms, if needs be
the law and the contract, and frustrate, if
possible, a public improvement, of more
j vital importance to the interests of the
couufj than any similar enterprise that has
yet been, or is likely hereafter to be pro
jected all too, to gratify a reckless pro
pensity for mischief, and inanufiittuie a
homeopathic dose of political capital, for
some two or three infiuitesintally small pol
iticians. And this meeting is made to
play second fiddle to their intrigues, and.
ia the face of notorious evidence to th.'
contrary, falsely prefer a charge of fraud

the great rfirunttry to differ from Messrs.

permit a sheet so filled and freighted with vul

A LEWISBURG KOWDY.
Tor tht Lewlsburc Chronicle.
M. Eniron On Friday last as the Whis
key Inspector was coming up from Philadel
phia in the cars, between Lancaster and Har
risburg, he got talking very largely and loudly
about the New Berlin meeting and stated,
amongst other things, " that a party of rowdies
and bullies from Lewisburg, sent over for the
purpose, had come there to disturb the meeting;
but we knocked down and dragged out about
a doxen of Ihem, and went on with the mee
ting!" "But the fun of the thing was, I get
Isaac Slenker into it I"
That is, the whole affair was confessedly a
humbug, and in addition to a large number of
well meaning, but uninformed persons whom
he had imposed npon, be had succeeded in
gutling so worthy and respectable a gentleman
as Mr Slenker. Now the above incident is a
fact ; I have it direct from an unimpeachable
witness. And it is not calculated to lessen the
regret of Ihe hosts of Mr. Slcnker's friends,
who were astonished and mortified on that day
to see him occupying a position so unworthy
bis standing and character,

Tbe feeling in Philadelphia is strong for
tbe road, but they will not subscribe at
present, or till there is a chango in the di

it will have to be abandoned. There is no

County Subscription.
We published a few days since tlta de
cision of the Supreme-. Court of Ohio in
the ease of Clinton Co., affirming the va
lidity of the Bonds issued to the Cincin
nati, Wilmington and Zanesville Railroad
Company for sukscriptien to Its stock, and
granting a mandamus to the Commissioners
of that County requiring them to issue tha
Bonds. This decision bears with equal
force upon the Bonds of Pickaway Co.,
Fairfield Co. and Fayette Co. issued to the
same Company and offered for sale by
Messrs. Delano, Dunlevy A Co., No. 18
Wall st. It is justly remarked in regard
to thc!c Inmiii, that if the Courts Lave
power to eompel the officers of the County
to issue those Bonds, and give them to the
public, they certainly have power to com
pel the officers to assess and collect the
tax, to pay interest and principal ; and as
thy tax is collected by the same officer
who collects the State and County tax, for
other t! jcts, it ia impossible for one to be
collected without the other. Tbe power,
therefore, to eoorce payment of interest
and principal is so ample and summary,
and the security so abundant, that these
Bonds, when understood, must be regarded
as equal to the very best State eeeurities,
There is one important advautage possessed
byjhe holder of a County which does not
exist iu the holder of a State Bond. In
the former case, in default of payment, the
creditor can appeal to the law and enforce
payment, but in the case of a State he
must depeud entirely upon the faith of
the State ami the tardy movement! of
Legislatures fur his relief. X. Y. Tribune,

England and the United States.
Some people are afraid that England
and the United States will go to war about
the right to catch codfish; and thus expend
as much money in one year as the fi-h are
worth in twenty, to say nothing of the
loss of life, the misery and suffering which
cau notbe estimated. The Statesmen of
these countries are not such f jois. Eng
land the United States have better busi
ness their misniuu is of quite a different
character. For them to fight would be
just as wise as for a fuller and soa to en
gage in fisticuffs, about some trifle, when
there were a dozen blackguards standing
by ready to rob aud beat either, or both.
Let the great Anglo-Saxon race rem iiu
firm iu their attachment to the principles
of the revolution of 1CS8 civil freedom
religious liberty. Let no trifling cause
serve to alienate them from each other.
They can not afford to gratify the despots
of Europe so much as to quarrel. Their
cannon and bayonets will be wanted, some
day God grant it may not be far distant
to give liberty to the world. The storm
of a revolution must clear the atmosphere
of Europe, and effete institutions, civil and
religious, must crumble t) dust. If the
tree of liberty must be watered by the
blood of tyrants let it be shed. The tears
of suffering hnuiany have been flowing long
enough wrong has triumphed over tue
right until the hour for a change has come.
Aud when the storm breaks forth again
let there be a republic in Europe creu if
it is red. The mechanics of the coutinent
and the crushed laborers, have probably
skill enough left to make a guillotine, and
there are plenty of necks iu Europe that
are fit for nothing else. When that time
comes they will make clean work and if
Russia is to be fouht back and told to
stand still and show fair play, we hope
England and the Unitsd States will do it.

Lcsus Natvr.b. A very remarkable
freak of nature has just fallen under our
observation. Capt. Jocph Lovell of this
city, bad a hen of tho common kind,
which had grown so heavy and unwieldy
as to be unable to gut about, and it was
concluded to kill her. This being doce,
thero were taken out of her thirteen eggs ;
nine of them whole, acd four which were
broken by throwing her down on the
ground when she was killed. The nine
igj;8 weighed two pound and a half, and
tho other four appeared to have been
equally large. If eo, tbe whole Would
have weighed three pounds and ten oun
ces ! One of the eggs weighed six
uunces another five and a half ounces,
and the whole averaged over a quarter of
a pound each. The largest were nearly

Mattnias Skupinsfci, who was convicted
son.0 time since of the murder of the boy
Lehman, in Philadelphia coun'y, was
executed on Friday lst He declared
while en the gsllows, only a few moments
before he fell. " I am innocent, I did not
deserve the death, at least for the crime I
am charged, and was tried for, gailty or
not guilty, I am prepared to die."
Several statements have appeared in
some of the papers, purporting to be con
fessions, by Matthias, of his connection
with the murder of Lehman, and also
with numerous other murders in this coun
try and in Europe, but all of them were
subseanentTy disavowed by him. His
conduct has certainly been rery strange.
Of his guilt in the murder of Lehman,

As Dr. Clark ia about to return to the

of him, that our citizens, especially those
most intimate with him, estimate. Lis many
virtues as a man, Lis gentle and fervent
christian piety, his talents and extensive
scholarship and learning as a Divine and
Scholar. These eminent qualities and
qualifications are demanded elsewhere,
under circumstauces gratifying to bim, and
b.j doubt, will be profitable to all to whom
be may preach the Gospel.
His relations with the Trustees and
Faculty have been of the most cordial
kind, and we doubt not tbe gentlemen com
posing those Boards, will part with Dr.
Clark with many regrets. As a citizen
among ns he bad become exceedingly pop

feel the loss of his society. He will bear
away with him the kindest regards of all,

Singular Casb of Somnambulism.
Early on Thursday morning, a little girl
about six or eight years of age, daughter
of a Mr. Ycasle, residing near the corner
of Fourth and C streets, South Boston,
arose in her sleep, succeeded in effecting
her escape from the house without
awakening any of the inmates, and wan
dered away some 60 or 80 rods, being all
time under the influence of somnambulic
sleep or trance, the rain in the meantime
pouring in torrents. As might be sup
posed, her thin night clothing afforded
poor protection, and was soon drenched
through, and her hair hung in heavy wet
maws rencJ her face. In this sad plight,
and near a quarter cf a vile from home,
she awoke. Her cries bronchi the watch
men to her assistance, bnt she could give
no account of herself, and still kept up
her piercing criesa rousing many in the
neighborhood. Finally, watchman Wil
liston recognized her, and she was taken
to her home. With some little difficulty
the parents were sufficiently aroused to
comprehend the sad plight of their child,
when the mother explained the occurrence
by stating that the child was in the habit
of walking in her sleep. The watchmen
departed, somewhat amused at the inci
dent, while the parents, as may be sup
posed, were lavish in their care and atten
tion to tbe wet and chilled little wan
