JBFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN. 1 ' . ' JEFFERS ONI AN REPUBLICAN j1 T.Iie Freshet. The freshet 'in the Delaware, which it was fear- ed would do;soinuch Injury tolhe Canal, had hap pily passed "by without doing half, the damage which had been anticipated. With the exception of a break, at Rocky Falls, and another at John- 1 son's Tavern, the damage has been very slight, and witli a moderate force can all be repaired by the latter part of this week. troiulsbusrg, April 20, l43. Serins, $2,00 m advance; $2.2.5, half yearly: and $2,50 if not paid bcfoic the end of the year. Adjoin -.uncut of the I,esisXatnrc. As was anticipated, the Legislature of Pennsyl vania adjourned on Tuesday the 18th inst. after a protracted session ief one hundred and six days, during which lime one hundred and sixty three Acts, and fifteen Reslutions were passed. Sever al of the Acts are of gieat importance, and if car ried out, may be highly beneficial to the State, in iis present emergency. We allude particularly to hose which authorize the sale of the Delaware (Division, and the main line of improvements from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The latter Bill.iliow- ever. ihc Governor has not vet approved of. If "Companies are formed, and those two sections of niir improvements disposed of, -our State Debt vi!l be nearly one-half cancelled. We hope this mav be realised. With but very few ex reptions, all the other Acts arc of little "or no vonsequencc, and possess no provisions of general interest. Nothing further was done to provide money for the payment of interest on the State Debt. Thcrefoie. if the sale of the improvements' cannot be carried into effect, our creditors will receive nothing for the loan of their money during another year. We have already so often spoken -ifthe character of this Legislature, that the sub ject has become hackneyed with us, yet we can hbid them farewell without remarking, that it 'will he lonc remembered and renowned as one of "the must disgraceful and inefficient bodies which tiver assembled to enact laws. -Latest fashions We observe by our exchange papers that the ladies of Boston are endeavoring to introduce the fashion hhrrvinrr walkiwr-cancs. Several of . - j 0 j them haVe already made their appenrance in the streets with these appeudages of authority, and used them in tire -most graceful manner. It is said that the fops and dandies are very much alarmed in consequence, and protest against it as a downright infringement of their prerogatives of manhood ! They aver that if the ladies do not desist, and lay by their canes they will be obliged to carry cudgels, else they can no longer way-lay, stare at, follow, speak to, and otherwise insult them with impunity. PJ mn Trees. A writer in the Massachusetts 'Ploughman, aires the following as a remedy for warts, o . " . ... worms. &c. in plum trees. "In April or v I A May, or before the blossoming, make some half dozen shts (according to the size of the tree) up and down the tree from the limbs to the roois." The writer assures this to be a perfect remedy. Surrender of Fugitives. France and England have entered into treaty for the mutual surrender of fugitives. It has never been done before. The same has been effected between this country and En sland. Lynn, Mass., has been noted for the manufac turing of shoes. In the course of the year lS-12, "it is said that one million pairs of women's moroc- I co shoes were made by the industrious inhabitants of that town! Canal Commissioners. The Bill giving the election of Canal Commis sioners to the people, has become a law without the signature -of the Governor, he not having re rurtied it to the House in ten days after its pass age, with his objections. Three Commissioners niust therefore be elected under it next fall. Another Hurdcrer Acquitted. Godfrey Pope, who was tried at Louisville, Ky. for killing Mr. Bliss, under "the most unjustifiable circumstances, has been acquitted and set at lib- The Lowell Courier states that some boys who were out gunning near the town, discovered aman named John Favro. suspended from a tree: a Miller book and bible, were found in his pocket It Trees. is a custom in Tin ke -says Dr. Walsh, crty; In the face of the numerous acquittals which -are constantly taking place all over the country, it is scarcely surprising that so many murders occur. Unless homicide, like other crimes, is punished in the most exemplary man ner, the aieople will soon become familiarized to scenes of blood, and "think no more of the murder of a fellow being, than of the most ordinary occurrence. to plant a platurnus orientalis, (button wood tree) on the birth of a son ; and a cypress on the death of one. Were this custom adopted in the United States, it would give us, at the end of forty years, about twenty millions of trees more than we shall probably have ; a con ! sideration of no mean appearance to posterity. And were the trees to be planted by the road side, most of our public highways would at the end of the period, be converted into delightful avenues. Let it be remembered that the road from Strasburg lo Munich, a distance of 250 miles, is already an avenue of fruit trees. Something -worth Knowing. In conversing with a gentleman of the bar a few oax's ago, he gave U3 some information in regard to a law now in force, of which we pre sume but few know of its existence, and which we -consider highly interesting to a large por tion of the communmty. For the advantage o our readers we will endeavor to give a synopsis of the law, as nearly in his own language as possible. lie informed us that by the laws o this State, no person under the age of twenty one years can dispose of his or her property, either real or personal, by will. By the same laws, it is declared that if a person die intes tale, unmarried and without lawful issue, the real estate of such .j-lestate shall go to his or her father and mother, during their joint lives, and the life of the survivor of them; and the .Jefferson K. Heckman, Esq. personal estate of such intestate shall be vested We are also informed that our efficient Repre-l!n h.is or ller falher and n,0,her abso,ule'y; r , r,r,.,;,.r tit- ni. j 17. - 11 EiniLT wiu miner ur uioiuer DB aeau ai me 1. r.,. t rr,, , timeol the death ol t James HI. Porter. We learn that Mr. Porter arrived at Easton on Thursday evening last, from Washington. He was serenaded by the Easton Band, in the eve ning, -and a number of his friends prevailed upon him to partake with them of a public eRtertain juoiit. which is to be given this evening at Mr. Connors American Hotel. He will continue in Easton during the present week to try a number . f rases which are pending in Court, and return 10 the Seat of T3overnment, on Monday next, to lesume the superintendence of the War Department. ihe adjournment of the Legislature, on Thursday last. His fearless and straight-forward conduct, whilst at Harrisburg, receives the wannest appro bation of his neighbors and friends. Preparations are being made to tender him a public dinner: Stocks. the intestate, the parent surviving such intestate, shall enjoy such rea estate during his or her life, and such persona estate absolutely. If, therefore, a man having a child or children, die without having made a will, leaves his estate to such child or children, without declaring in what manner such estate shall be disposed of, in the event of such child There appears to be quite an unusual auimation or children dying under the age of twenty-one ituhe Stock market at present. During the past years, unmarried-and without lawful issue; and -eeh, large quantities oi almost every description, have been disposed of at the Broker's Board in Philadelphia, and that tco at considerably advan ced prices. Pennsylvania State Fives, which a month ago were sold as low as $31 on the hun dred, icadily brought 45 and 46 on Thursday last. This rise is probably mainly attributable Jo the passage of .the Bills providing for the sale of some of the Public Works. '. Fips, Levies, and Quarters The rule adopted by the Banks and Brokers in the cities, to receive the old Spanish coins only upon the following conditions, viz . fips, for five cents, levies, for ten cents, and quarters, for twenty-three cents, has not yet been extended lo Stroudsburgh. These old fashioned coins pass as" Ireclyjhere as ever, at their nominal value. In ihe cities, however, we are informed, they are fnst disappearing, and getting out of circulation. . They are sent to the Mint to be re-coined into t'ilimes, half dimes, and quarter-dollars, our own currency, which will shortly supply their place. Judge Banks.
