At thc'Electibn held pn FriiiSy- the 17ifi inst., the following named gentlemen were elected Jus tices of the Peace, in the several townships in this County, where vacancies had occurred. James Papening, Smithfield. John Edinger, Pocono. JjefTard Willard, Perm Forest. Melchior Spragle, Coolbaugh. We congratulate the people of Monroe, upon the choice of these men as a portion of their magis trates. We have the honor of a personal acquaint ance with two, and know them all to be highly qualified for the responsible, situations to which thev have been advanced. Disgraceful. Some offender, not having the fear of evil, or the terrors of the law, before his eyes, entered our celler one night last week, and stole therefrom a large mess of sourkrout, and some potatoes. We think the fellow must have mistaken the house, for we cannot bring ourselves to believe, that any per son, knowingly, would rob a poor priiiter If, however, it was done with malice prepense and afoicthought, and the feilow' will lake the trouble of calling upon us, we will iue him a piece oi pickled pork, (which was presentetjto us by a kindheartcd neighbour) to boil with the sourkrout and pota toes. Mercer, the iTlurtierci. The trial of young Mercer, for the murder of his Sister's seducer, in all probability commenced yesterday, at Woodbury New Jersey. On Wed nesday last, the Grand Jury found a true bill against him; to which, on the same day, he plead ed not guilty, He was accompanied, on his ap pearance in Court, by his venerable, gray haired lather; who, it is said, has been with him most of the time since his imprisonment. Young Mercer, is represented to have looked pale and much worn, but evinced great firmness and spirit. The Amer ican Eagle, a paper published at Camden, oppo site Philadelphia, speaks very favorably of his prospects of acquittal. It says that the public is not in possession of the most material parts of his defence, and that, in their opinion, twelve men cannot be found in Gloucester county, who would hang him for the death of Heberton.

Their "promise to pay' notes had depreciated from fifty to sixty per cent, on the dollar, and could scarcely find pur chasers! that ruinous late of discount. Numer ous suits were also brought against the Bank in Lehigh county. Finding it impossible to stand up against all this, they shut up on Thursday; in the hope, however, of soon being able to open and go on smoothly. To this end, we arc informed, thev have sent on a committee to New York, to negotiate funds. We hope they may be success ful in their mission. The Bank has many friends in Allentown, and its vicinity, who will do every thing in their power to resuscitate it. .IVevrs I Ucws ! ! KcV5 ! ! ! We have the gratification of informing our rea ders that during the past week our Solons, at llar nsburg, have been perfectly pacific-in all their movements. There have been no more pullings, umbrella-wars, or any thing else of.the like. Real ly, this is remarkable ! A whole week to pass by without the members of either House disgracing themselves and the State, by a brawl, is more than we could have expected. What great event can Le about to happen I Canal Commissioners. The Bill to change the mode of appointing Ca iial Commissioners, has at length passed the Sen ate by a vote of 90 yeas to 10 nays. It had pre viously passed the House by a vote of 63 to 32, cl nug the absence of Mr. Heckman, of North anijtiun, the originator of the Bill. Just two thirds in each House. The Bill, amongst other things, provides, that within ten days after its passage iie Legislature shall elect three Commissioners .h .ihnll serve until after the next general elec lion. At that Election, three Canal Commission ers are to be elected by the people, and at every s.icccwdiiig-genoral election one. The Governor has the Bill now before him. What he will do vith it, is not known. Good fSewu. Let us rejoice ! The Legislature has agreed to a.iurn on the 18th of April. We hope the" Meni ere wul not repentj and extend the time. From tVxishEnglou. By yesterday's mail, we have rumors from Washington that another break up in the Cabi net may shortly be looked for. It is reported that Mr. Spencer has succeeded in displacing Mr. Webster entirely in the favor of Captain Tyler, and that a remodeling of the Cabinet will be the consequence. Gen. Cass, is to suc ceed Mr. Webster, in the State Department, Col. Richard M. Johnson, James M.Porter, as Secretary of War, and A. M. Stevenson, of Virginia, Mr. Wicklifie, as Post Master Gen eral. Strange as it may appear, efforts are be ing made to produce these changes, and John lyler, our consistent President, thinks favora bly of them. lie no doubt thinks it would he a master-stroke of policy to connect Old Te cuinseh and Gen. Cass, with his administra tion, and as they ate prominent candidates for the Presidency, ihus buy off their opposition, and secure their influence in favor of himself. Mr. Stevenson, has heretofore been a strong Van Burenman, he it seems therefore is to be bribed from his allegiance to Matty, to secure his powerful influence in Virginia. It is asser ted, positively, thai Gen. Cass, will accept the office of Secretary of State, if offered to him. Col. Johnson, it is said, has lately become much reduced by unsuccessful speculations, and would accept the control of the War De partment, in ouler to replenish his fallen for tunes. Mr. Webster, beinji still somewhat Whiggish in his sentiments, will, we suppose, ho dismissed, without any ceremony James M. Porier and Charles A Wickliffo, can be transferred lo some of -the vacant foreign mis- sums. e look anxiously lor lurtner develop ments in relation to these matters. Mexico, a! last advices, persisted in her de termination to conquer Texas. A regular in vasion they say is to take place as soon as the difficulties are settled at home. Then it is very certain Texas will remain a long time without being invaded from Mexico. T5ic tLarjjeat Ear o SYoss.

It is a cable bolt, 25 feet liw englh and G inches in dianuter, and weighs j about 2,400 pounds. The pile from which it was rolled was about 7 feet long, by 12 inches square, and weighed upwards of 2.G0O lbs. Tragedy Ijj a Cca;r.bcn. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 10 h in slant, gives the particulars of a horrid tragedy enacted on board of the. steamboat President, ! ying at the Levee. Warden P.

The Slaughter Houses are generally long buildings, having a stout bench running nearly the whole length, beginning at the door. At a small pen, where the door opens, three men are employed from daylight to dark, in knocking down and dragging in the hogs, just inside the door, where Honc man is employed in cutting their ihroals. Two fcaiders then pass them .into the scalding tub, which holds four or five hogs at a lime. Four scrapers then haul them out to the aforesaid bench, scrape off their hair and bristles, and pass them along to six shav ers, who finish cleaning them, and give them another remove to the off-bearers, who hang them up, and resign their charge to the wash downs. The enlite Hog has thus reached the end of his rapid journey from the pen. Its en trails are then delivered by the gutters to the gut cleaners, who make a selection of their charge, and pass certain parts to the pluck boy and to the fit washers, who are employed in preparing the raw material for the use of the soap, boiler, candle maker, and other manufac- .tuturs of unctions articles. The Hog, in the meantime, has been washed down thoroughly, and hung up in the Dry House, where the dry houseman turns his, ( the hog's) tofigue on one side, and places a cob m his mouth to extend his jaws and let the wafer drain off well. The Hog then hangs till called for by the wagoner, who .brings him into the city to be cut, packed, salted and shipped. In this manner, Mr. Cartweather's establish ment, in that ciry, has given daily employment to 40 hands, who have killed nearly 30,000 hogs. Their greatest achievement was killing 827 hogs in one day of a little over eight hours; at another time they killed in three days, 2385, and at another in four days, 2809. Thus has it been repeatedly done of killing and completely dressing more than one hog in a mmuie through the day. The greatest order, economy, system and neatness prevail at these establishments. Ev ery thing hi turned to aceodni ; the bristles aie all sold at three cents per hog; the hair at SI per load, and the entrails to soapboilers at three cents per hog. The proprietors of the Slaughter louse, as a general rule, kill and dress the hog for the bristles and offal. They are' also at the expense of wagoning them inio town, and delivering them at any pork house desired. A ffliuisftcr Shot sa& Site Ptilpii! On Sunday evening a week the Rev. Joseph Dickey, minister of the third Presbyterian con gregation of Rathfnlaitd, had assembled his ncarers in the ,neeting-housc for evening wor ship, and while in the act .of concluding his sermon, the report of a gun and the crashing of ja wilulow ueai(e tho-pulpil were suddenly heard, and the Kev. gentleman was observed to stagger and fall. Endeavoring to rally, Mr. Dickey made a struggle to rise, but again fell, : and, upon being lilted up, it was found that a number of slugs had entered both arms, pass- ing across his breast. A rush was instantly made by the people to the outside of the house. ey suucruu, uui uie Mucin 10 uuiruer is m iubiii.

PHILIP G. READING & CoV. September 21, 1842. 4m. WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY. ALL Persons insuring in this company are members equally interested in its welfare and in the election of its ofheers. In order to become a member of this company and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre mium note, the amount of which is in proportion to the amount to be insured, and its degree ot hazard, thus: If 1000 is to be insured, at o per cent., he gives lus note for 50. U at 10 per cent, he gives his note for $100, and in that proportion for a greater or less sum, according to the rate of hazard, on which note he advances 6 per cent, and an additional sum ot SI ou tor survey ana poucy. He then becomes a member on the approval of his application and is insured for five years. The aggregate of the premium notes constitutes tho cash fund, charcable first", with the expenses, and second, with the losses of the Company; and should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and expenses the money to meet the losses, (should any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in corporation, and paid. An assessment is then made to repay such loan upon the premium notes, in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no case to be made but once a year, notwitnsianaing several losses may happen. At the expiration of live years the note, u any assessments have been made and paid, is given up, and the insured may renew his application. i oucies may ai any hiub ug aaajgusu y om rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes given up, according to the by-laws of the Com pany. No more than three fourths of the cash value of any property will be insured, and all Great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder Mills, Distilleries, lviacnine onops, iuanu lactones for Printer's Ink, and all establishments ol Urn same class of hazards, are not insured upon ai.y conditions whatever, and that no ono risk is taken over $5000, it is considered muqh, more safe an I less expensive than in Stock companies, where: they insure large amounts and hazardous property.
