Message.
The National Gazette has' been relinquished as
a distinct publication, and the subscription list
transferred to the rennsyivania inquirer.
$15,000 have been paid this year in Illinois,
for castor beans.
. The Washington (Pa.) Reporter boasts of two
hogs raised in that county, the aggregate weight
of which was 12 11 lbs.
A Hard Case.
John W. Shugart, the editor of the Venango
Democrat, complains bitterly of the want of punc
tuality on the part of Ins subscribers, and such
was the embarrassment of his situation that he
was "obliged to run for Sheriff at the last election
and move into the jail in order to keep out ol it.
The Inte news from Texas informs that immi
grants are pouring in rapidly by sea and land.
A vessel from Cork (Ireland) and another from
Bangor, Me., had arrived with a large number.
The salary of the President of thellopublie has
been reduced to 85000; Vice President, 81000;
and members of Congress to S3 per day. If ours

The Newburg (N. Y.) Telegraph states that the
Messrs. Gidney, farmers, residing a few miles from
this village, slaughtered, last week, six hogs, which
together weighed three thousand one hundred and
seventy pounds! The heaviest of the lot weihged
six hundred and thirty pounds, and the lowest
four hundred and thirty pounds, and they average
each five hundred and twenty-eight and a half
pounds.
New ESorse Shoe.
A Frenchman, resident in Poland, has invented
(so says the United Service Journal) a new meth
od of shoeing horses, for which the Emperor has
awarded him fifty thousand roubles, besides an
exclusive patent. He covers the entire hoof with
iron, and the base of his shoe or scandal is per
fectly smooth. It requires neither nail nor screw,
is extremely cheap, and has the important charac
teristic of great lightness. It is getting into use
in all parts of Russia. When the hoof is injured
it is found to be very beneficial. As near as we
can understand this account, this shoe is a kind of
moccasin, made of sheet iron.

hair was laln' by Mr. Ewing, the. Speaker
lected at the end of 'Vhe last session. The
new members were qualified, when there were
ten ballots taken for .the election of a Speaker,
and Unsuccessful. Mr. F. Coplan, of Fayette,
was the candidate of the Democrats, and John
Ewing, of the Whigs. The three first bal
lots Mr. Farrelly voted for. Mr., Strohm, ajid
once or twice for Mr. Ewing, but there could
be no election. The Senators all being pre
sent, it required seventeen to make an election.
Mr. Ewing.at .one time had-sixteen votes, only
requiring his own.K The Whigs stood for him

Harrisburg, Ja5, 1842.
The Senate this morning 3ucceedednnelect-
ing a Speaker, on the fifth trial. Mr. Siohm,
of Lancaster, was elected, having 17 votes?-
Mr. Fleming, of Lycoming, voted for Mr. Stohm;
as did Mr.. FarreJly though the last named
gentleman had previously voted for Mr. Ewing

The Senate passed the customary resolu
tions, and the Governor informed them that his

. Harrisburg,. Jan. 5, 1842.
In the House, little done. Mr. Stevens gave
notice of his intention to introduce n.resolution
to limit the State debt to $40,000,000, by the
Constitution. At the lime the Constitution
was amended, Mr. Stevens made a proposition
to limit the debt to 835,000,000, which unfor
tunately was rejected. He was not present at
the debate of the question, and some 30 or 40
members voted for it. But at this time, pub
lic sentiment is entirely different from what it
was at that time. The debt is now alarming.
Mr. J. 13. Andrews has been nominated as
Clerk of the House of Representatives, and
will, of course, be elected. The, Whigs might
re-elect Mr. Seiler, by joining $rfmc.of Mr. S's
friends ; but Major Andrews is so universally
popular, that they will not do it. Major An
drews is a gentlman, a quality not always
sought for in selecting officers. In private
life I do not beleive he has an enemy, and
that gives him in an advantage in a canvass.
Harrisburg, Jan. 10.
The House of Representatives was engaged
most of the morning in adopting rules, and a
resolution lo furnish books for members, Pur-
den's Digest, &c.
Mr. Ryan offered the following:

larrisburg, Jan. 11.
The State Treasurer made his annual report
to-day. It is an able and patriotic document,
and goes for reform, by the reduction of several
officers, now held as sinecures. The State
Treasurer will retire with dignity and credit.
Mr. Penniman introduced a bill to repeal the
