JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN r PEN N sgpJL V AW I A. -30,000 Families destitute of the Bible! Does this statement appear to be incredible? Consider -the following TACTS. Philadelphia city and county have Vbeen explored and 4,0001 Uniilies sup tplied witli the Bible. 'Lehigh, York and Alleghany comi ties report each about 1000 families destitute of the Bible. Lancaster and "Berks counties, ;by -an estimate based on facts so far as developed, show a destitution of 3,000 families in the two counties, or 15,00 an each. In these SIX counties, therefore, the destitution amounts to,TEN THOUS AND FAMILIES 1 Warren county has been explored and "-the destitution amounts to one family an every SIX. Potter and M'Kcan comities have 'been explored and the result is, on -an average, one destitute family in FIVE. Clearfield comity reports an aver age destitution of one family in eve ry FOUR. Other facts of -'a -similar character might be mentioned, but we add but one more explanatory of ihissad and surprising . destitution. It is this ; since 1840 the popala'ttc-n of Penn sylvania has changed 'to 'the amount of three, quarters of a million or sev enty thousand new families." MOXKOE COUNTY-. This County has not yet been ex plored. So far as enquiry has been made we are led to conclude that the destitution is great. Will, you, dear sir,, as a christian and citizen aid in accomplishing this work so rich in civil, social-, domes tic and religious blessings? In behalf of. the Managers of the Monroe county Bible Society. DANIEL STROUD, Pres. .( Wm. P. Vail, Cor. Sec. J. W. Burnett, Treas.

P. Backus, A Methodist preacher, belonging- to the Oneida Conferencej w.is arrested on Friday in the town of Gates, on a charge of forging two notes to the amount of 1100, on one of the banks of Utica. The prison er, it appears, has been residing for two years past in the village of Sherburne, Chenango county, N. Y., where hp was engaged in the duties of his profession, About the first of June, he commit ted the forcery, and, fearing detection, he came some weeks after to the town of Gates, where officer Wilkinson, accompanied by C. Fielding, ap prehended him. About S9 in money was found on his person, and some unimportant papers. lie confessed that he committcdHhe forgery, he gave as his reason for doing so that he was deeply in volved in debt and wished to extricate himself. About S10C0 .of the money had been paid to his creditors, and the remaining $400 expended in lottery tickets, by means of which he hoped to obtain sufficient funds to cancel the notes when due. In his trunk were found some thiity or for ty pages, in manuscript, purporting to be an ac count of his life, which he intended to finish and surrender himself to justice. Horii Ail in Cattle. Mr. John Allen, of lkaintree, Mass., states that he has seen several cattle that were cured of the horn-ail by loosening the skin near the back bone. He says in such complaints the Uin adheres closely to The bone and the circu lation of the blood to the head is obstructed. The Senate Chamber at Harrisburg has been newly painted.
