Merchants, Me chanics, and tradesmen generally, may extend their business by availing themselves of the op portunities for advertising in country papers which his agency affords. To all Concerned. We would call the attention of some of our subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas ters, to the following reasonable, and well set tled rules of Law in relation to publishers, to the patrons of newspapers. THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS. 1. Subscribers who do not gie express no tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscripiions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publishers may continue to send them till all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take iheir papers from the officers to which they are directed, they are held responsible till they hare settled their bill, and ordered their papers discontined. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers, and their paper is sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take a newspaper or periodical from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is "pri ma facie" evidence of intentional fraud. o mm m The Whiff Almanac. We have received a few copies of this ex cellent periodical for the year 1845, which may be had on application at this office. Besides the usual matter of an Almanac, it contains Washington's Farewell Address, the Constitu tion of the U. Stales, the Declaration of Inde pendence, the official vote of all the States, at the late Elections, the Tariff of 1842, a Register of all the officers, civil, military and naval, in the employ of the U. States, and much other valuable reading. It is valuable to men of all parties, and no one should be without a copy. Price only 12 1-2 cents. The Hon. James M. Porter, of Easton, will deliver a lecture on Tuesday evening next, in the Presbyterian Church, in Stroudsburg: his topic, Pennsylvania her Institutions and her Great Men. The public are invited to at lend. Iiiterary Notices. Popular Lectures on Astronomy : by M. Ara go, with additions and corrections, by Dionysius Lardner, LL.D. Price 25 cents." We have received a copy of this excellent work from the publishers, Messrs. Greely & McElrath, Tri bune Office, New York. It is one of the best O0OK8 we nave read tor a long time, it con tains a vast fund of useful and entertaining mat ter, and the important science of Astronomy Competent judges pronounce it the best treatise of the kind extant. Any person desirous of ob taining it, can do so by calling at this office. The Lady's Book, and the Columbian Maga sine, for April, have both been received, and are truly excellent numbers. No lady should be without, at least, one of those monthlies. The American Review, is the title of a new monthly Whig journal, printed in New York, and devoted to Politics, Literature, Art, and Science. We sometime since published the prospectus of this work, which entitles us to an exchange. The second number, we under stand, has already been published, although we have not yet received it or the first. We hope the publisher will forward them to us. April Court. The April Term of the Monroe County Courts, will commence on Monday next. It is expected that a great deal of business will be transacted, and many persons from the ,coaitry will be in attendance. This will affordj our subscribers who are in arrears, an excellent op portunity of bringing or sending us the amount they respectively owe us. We. are in" want of money and hope our patrons will not forget us Cfearter Election. The annual Charier Election, in the City of New York, will take place on Tuesday next. The co.utest is triaugular, and has been very spirited. The Whigs, Locos and Natives are each striving for the mastery, and as their forces are nearly equally divided, the result is very uncertain. " . Polly JBodinc. The trial of this unfortunate woman is still in progress in New York. Up to Saturday last about fifty witnesses had been examined, and about as many more Were waiting their turn. It will not bo concluded before next week. The details are said to bo most shocking, yet the Court room is crowded with ladies and other spectators, whenever the Court is in session. Tennessee. The untiring Whigs of Tennessee, are again in the field preparatory to the election in Au gust next. At a State Convention, recently held, the Hon. Ephraim H. Foster was unan imously nominated as their candidate for Gov ornor, in opposition to Aaron V. Brown, loco foco. Mr. Foster, is a whole-souled Whig, and will be elected by a noble majority. The Whigs of Tennessee can and will triumph. United States Senator. Honest John Davis, of Massachusetts, has been elected to the Senate of the United States, for the unexpired term of Isaac C. Bates, de ceased. Mr. Davis is the person who so effec tually used up our James Buchanan, in 1840, when ho made his ten cent a-day speech. Great Temperance movement. The Temperance people of the city of New York, made a grand movement last week, and secured the signatures of over twenty-five thous and persons to a petition that the City should share with the other towns and cities of the State, in the benefit of the new license law. That law proposes to submit the question di rectly to the people whether licenses shall be granted or not granted. The dealers in liquor in the city, petition the Legislature, that they shall be exempt from the action of the bill. The Temperance petition was two hundred and eighty-seven yards long. Fast Travelling. The tram over the Long Island Railroad from Boston, reached New York, on Friday last, in nine hours and five minutes. It is the quickest trip ever made between the two cities. The distance is 221 miles. The Legislature. Both branches of the Legislature have agreed to adjourn on Tuesday the 15th inst. Just 99 days from the day they convened. Sale of the Public Works defeated. By reference to the proceedings of the House, it will be seen that the Sale of the Public Works has been defeated by nearly a strict par ty vote. Thus the Toice of the People, who by tens of thousands of a majority, at' the late Gubernatorial election, decided in favor of this measure of relief from State debt, taxation and prostrate credit, is foiled their burthens deri ded their judgment sneered at their will set at nought and the " democracy of numbers" made a foot ball to be kicked for the amuse ment of the office-seekers, treasury suckers, State defaulters and public paupers. We do not wonder that the People the burthen bear ers and supporters of this horde of pap fed idlers, are tired of this system of things, and begin ning to manifest great uneasiness. The Tax payers, the Farmers and Mechanics, who earn their money by the sweat of the brow, will not rest under this yoke of their oppressors quietly. A day of retribution will arise, when the wishes of the People will be respected, and their de cisions regarded. Let the alarm be sounded throughout the length and breadth of the land, that the oppressed may rally and unite for their protection. Hot. lelegraph. JXj3 We learn by the Lancaster Democrat, that the State obtained a judgment against Maj. Hambrighi's bail, for $2,340, at the recent term of the District Court of that city, on one of the bonds. The Major was Collector on the Rail road at Lancaster, a prominent and distinguish ed Locofoco ; one of the Buckshot War Patri ots, and is a defaulter to the amount of about $10,000; $7,500 of which are yet to be sued out on the bonds. The public works are hiph- ly useful to Locofoco office-holders- and plun derers much more so than to the tax payers. iNo Wonder that the Legislature refused to al low them to be sold, and thus the privilege of plunder for .their friends to be abridged. There is foretjwught in thus thwarting the honest and emphatically expressed will of the people from beingxarried out ! lb. Prenticea.va. A Washington correspon dent says that Dr. Duncan, in his last speech in Congress, " poured out the vials of his wrath on the Whigs." To. which Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, replies : The Doctor's wrath is not kept in "vials." Ho keeps it in quart- bottles, demijohnfjjc;puncheons ! Courting, sayJjphraiin, is done on printing principles; thero being a good deal of the hand press work about it. $ Dorr in Prison. Providence, R. 1., March 17. Of course all strangers passing here, are asKeu ii weynave seen Jjorr. 1 can answer in the affirmative. I visited the prison to-day, and there took a peep at the Martyr, as his friends designate him. He was sitting in the work shop in an armed chair, giving the finish ing stroke to the painting of fans, a branch of business extensively carried on in the prison, and a lucrative one to the Stale. Dorr occu pied the only armed chair in the shop. He is quite an adept with the brush, and is in an em ployment well suited to his taste he always having had a relish for the pencil. There is no uniform dress of the person, and no shaving of heads as at Auburn. Dorr had on his Chepatchet coat, and a fine broadcloth cloak hung on the back of his chair, and gave it rather a martial appearance. He looks fine and hearty with a good natured countenance. Among other cells, where the prisoners re tire for the night, Ppassed that of Dorr. In all of them but his, iron cot bedsteads are used. He has one of cherry, rocking chair, table, &c. There is a library in the prison, which is used by all the prisoners, and a good one it is. Lights are furnished to the occupants in their colls, after the work shop is closed, until 10 o'clock, and each prisoner amuses himself by reading or writing. This is the Algerine treat ment of prisoners, of which we hear such re volting accounts out west. This is probably the most humane prison in the world. Corrcs. Rochester Daily Democrat. The Inquisition. The members of President Polk's Cabinet are determined that few Whigs shall remain in any of the departments at Washington, and in order to find out " who is who," they have pre pared a series of questions to be answered by the incumbents. A correspondent of one of the Philadelphia papers gives the following result of the examination of a gentleman connected with the patent office. He says : A letter was received this morning by Mr. Ellsworth, Commissioner of the Patent Office, from Mr. Buchanan, Secretary of State, re questing him to furnish him with a list of the officers under him, their place of birth, age, the length of time they had been in the Depart ment, amount of salary, &c. The and-so-forth is understood to be, " What are your pol itics ?" Mr. Keller, long and favorably known as one of the Examiners, was first called. Whore were you born, "sir 1 Answered. How long have you been in this office. Since 1821, sir. What is your age, sir ? Answered. What is your salary 1 $1500 per annum. Did you vote last fall ? I did not, sir, as I was not entitled to a vote, being a resident of the District. Are those all the questions you have to ask 1 Yes sir, that's all. Well, sir, as you have made a memorandum of my answers, please to add, that if I had been entitled to a vote, I would have voted for Hen ry Clay, of Kentucky. I am, and always have been, and hope that I may always remain a Whig. An act passed on the 20th of February by Congress, appropriates for the year ending 30th June, 1816, for revolutionary pensioners, under act of 18ih March, 1818, $186,200; invalid pensions, $184,800; widows and orphans un der act of July 4, 1836, $220,500 ; widows and orphans under act of 7th July, 1838, and sup plementary act, $180,000 ; widows under act of 3d March.1843, $80,000 ; widows under act of 17th June, 1844, $1,096,000 ; half pay pen sions to widows and orphans, $1,500; arrear ages, $1,000; deficiencies of past appropria tions, $305,000 total, $2,254,000. A Thrilling Scene. In Frankfort, on the banks of the Penobscot, in Maine, a gentleman lost his wife by death. Three days after her interment he had some business with a young physician of that town. Calling-at his house, he was informed that the doctor had gone out, but would soon return. He concluded to wait, and to pass the time more agreeably as he thought, he went into the physicians studio, and there he found a student, with scalpel in hand, in the act of dissecting a dead body. Ho started back at first view, as peoplo gener ally do when tuddenly coming into the presence of the dead. Recovering from his surprise, he stepped towards the corpso which the student was cutting, and, horror of horrors, found the dead body to be that of his wife, buried three days before. His feelings may be imagined, but cannot be described. The husband imme diately took legal measures against both the studeuVand the doctor. They were oxamined and hound over to answer for the crime of dis secting andfearrying away dead bodies. The Coal Trade. We find the following very interesting article in the Miner's Journal. The middle column 'shows the amount of foreign coal imported into this country during the series of years gfverr the right hand column exhibits the Domestic Coal Trade during the same years : Years. 1820 21' 22 23 24.-, 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 ' 38 30 40 41 42 43 44 - Foreign coal.

For a series of years the 5amount of ,foreign coal imported grad ually increased. During the few years when the duly on coal wasjow, the amount imported greatly increased. Immediately after the du ties were raised,?the amount fell about half. The duties are uow up to a protective rate, im portations aro"greatly less than they were, and the price to the consumer is lower, owing to domestic competition. Precisely the effect of Protective dutiesjon every article we manufac ture or produce here. Wilkcs-Barre Adv. The Anti-Rent War. A Lady in Delhi, N. York, under date of March 18, writes to the N. Y. C.ommercial as follows : " Troops are stationed through our village, every man being armed and the jail sur rounded by a large guard, as several prisoners are confined there, whom the " Indians" say they are determined to rescue at the risk of heir lives. News arrived about 7 o'clock last evening that an attack would probably be made on the village. An express arrived, saying that they had been mustering in small compan ies all day; and that they would probably num ber about six hundred. Those among us who have heretofore felt secure now feel that every effort must be made to put an end to this ex citement. Scarcely a man has been seen un armed for several days, and we are obliged to sleep with weapons of defence every night. Every thing that can be used as a weapon of defence is in demand, even to hot water and pitchforks ; the water is kept by the ladies to defend themselves, as their husbands have all been ordered out. You may laugh when I tell you that my weapon is along toasting fork, and Mrs. H. has a pitchfork, which now stands in the corner of the room. Our Church, Acade my, and Court-house are turned into barracks, to accommodate citizen soldiers, and a compa. ny has been formed called the "pitchfork com pany" for want of arms. Our Pastor, who was warned out, is now sitting (as I am informed by my husband) in the basement of the Church, shouldering a pitchfork, in company with many others. An express was sent to the Governor for men and arms to protect the village and maintain the laws. Two pieces of cannon are placed in front of the public square, one point ing up and the other down tho main street, both heavily loaded with spikes, for the wantof can ister or grape shot. All business has been sus pended for several days, and nothing is thought of but war and perpetual safety. It is now half-pa9t four and all is safe." A letter from Kingston, dated 21st of March, gives tho following: The anti-rent movement extended through the town of Shandaken.Oliye, and a portion of Woodstock. The excursions of the Sheriff's posse were confined, however, to the two former towns, and effected the cap ture and imprisonment of ten of ihe Indians, At Walton, on Monday, Mr. Erastus Rodgors was seriously wounded by the accidental dis charge of his gun. His recovery is doubtful. Poisoned her Hnsbaud, Mrs. Van Valkenberg, of Perth, Fulton Co., N. Y., murdered her husband a few (jays ago, by giving him poison in his tea. In her efforts to escape from the officers of justice, sho fell from lite oft pf a barn and broke her leg, dis located her shoulder, and was otherwise injur d. She has since confessed, the murder. Anti-Rent in Schoharie County, N y We have the following information from cor respondents and reliable verbal sources : On Monday last the Sheriff of Schoharie County and Under Sheriff Bouck, proceeded to the towns of Blenheim and Jefferson, to SCrr(J warrants and collect rent. It is supposed tlia they succeeded in serving the warrants. Towards evening they returned to Pink's tavern, at North Blenheim, and put up fur night. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, a party 0j about 25 persons, disguised as Indians, and fu. ly, armed, entered the house, instantly seized the Sheriff and Under Sheriff, and without a'. lowing them to put on their hats pushed then out of the house. At the door they were j)in. ed by the entire party, consisting of 159 r,ir. sons, disguised, and armed with pistols, nn; kets, tomahawks and knives ; of the muskets 75 were counted with bayonets. Having supplied the Sheriff and Depu'.v Indian caps, they were placed in the ct- 'reo the party, and marched some four miles Westkill, and thence to the summit of the moun tain, in the woods a remote and dreary place There they held a pow-wow around them, af ter having searched them unsuccessfully for papers, and at about two o'clock at night they marched back to Fink's, where they left thetn, without further molestation. On the route (t(). ing and returning, the Sheriff was pricked some 15 times with the bayonet, ei'lier fur walking too quick or loo slow, and his foot and leg were much bruised. Alb. Argus. An Irish maid, boasting of her induMrioiN habits, said she rose at four, made a fin-, put on the-kettle, prepared breakfast, and n t, 'jae beds before any one in the house was up ' Not Elected After All. Miss Sally Brown and Miss Betsey French, of Woolwich, Gloucester county, N. J. the cor respondent of the Newark Advertiser says, it appears, are not yet entitled to the appellation of "Esquire." Although they made a "very respectable run," yet they did not receive quite enough votes to elect them Justices of the Peace. Iron is now manufactured at Smithville, Me. at the rate often tons a day. The population of Pittsburgh, Pa. is now nearly 50,000. "FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE" Which it would be well to remember, viz : that Sher man's Cough Lozenges have raised the Rer. Darius Anthony from the verge of the grave, when he was given over by his physicians and surrounding friends that they have cured Jon athan Howarth, the celebrated temperance lec turer, when all other means failed that the Rev. Mr. Do Forest, Rev. Sebastian Streeter, Rev. Mr. Dunbar, Rev. Mr. Handcock, Hon. Mr. Archer, of Virginia, and James W. Hale, Esq. have experienced more relief from them than from any other remedy they had ever used. That Sherman's Worm Lozenges hare been instrumental in bringing away morewormi, and saving more children from an unsimelr grave, than any other worm remedy ever known,. and are recommended and prescribed by the- first physicians in the land that the Camphor Lozenge prepared by Dr. Sherman, is a su;; cure for Headache, Palpitation, Nervous Atec tion, and ail the diseases arising from free tid ing, and that Sherman's Poor Man's Piaster, stands unrivalled as a strengthening plaster curing the worst cases of Rheumatism, Pa and Weakness in the back, side, chest or ex tremities, in a short space of time, and restore to perfect health. And last, not least that Dr. Sherman is not a quack, but a regular phy sician, who superintends the preparation of all his remedies,-and warrants them to be the ino-'t pleasant, safest and best medicines in the worli. A fresh supply of the above valuable medicine iust received, and for snlo nt tho Ronnhlican 0t fice. NOTICE.
