At thc'Electibn held pn FriiiSy- the 17ifi inst.,
the following named gentlemen were elected Jus

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.

every possible way, the Directors of the North
ampton Bank, at Allentown, were obliged lo close
rs doors on Thursday last. 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.

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

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.

A CincsiJisnti Slaughter ISosisc.
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.

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.
