RScxico and the United Stales.
The uncertain relations lately existing be
tween Mexico and this country, still continue.
At the latest dales, the Mexican Congress had
adjourned without declaring war against us,
'hut had authorized a large loan for the purpose
Ktf'raising money wherewith to carry on hostil
ities against Texas, for the purpose of again
Mibduing that province to its allegiance. Should
this be attempted, it may end in a rupiure wilh

The Warren ITCurcIers.
We have prepared a reply to an article in
.last week's Belvidere Apollo, on the subject of
the Warren Murders, which is deferred until
next week.
The Proposed Rail Road.
"We have lately given place in our columns
1o several able communications on the subject
of the proposed Rail Road from Philadelphia to
Carpenter's Point, along the Delaware, to inier
seci, at the latter place, the New York and
.Erie Rail Road. The subject, we are glad to
Jearn, is beginning to attract much attention in
Philadelphia and New York, as well as at dif
ferent points along the proposed route. It is
.an important proposition and deserves the care
ful investigation of rnonied men in both cities.
Lafayette College.
A Catalogue of the Officers and Students of
Lafayetie College, for 1 844-5, has been polite
ly furnished us by a friend. By it we perceive
ihat ihis " home institution" is gradually, but
buiely, working its way into public estimation
and favor. The numbers of the different class
es are larger, and the institution generally in a
more flourishing condition than at any previous
period.
Canal Commissioner.
The last Harrisburg Intelligencer says that
arrangements have been made by the Whig
Slate Committee to bring out a candidate for
Canal Commissioner, at the earliest day. Next
week, probably, we will be able to announce
his name.
A Nominee.
The locos of Carbon county have nominated
Col. William Lilly, of Parryville, as their can
didate for Assembly. The Colonel is no great
shakes," and will not cause the Capitol at
Harrisburg to tumble about the ears of his as
sociates, either by his eloquence or wisdom.
Eastoit Items.
The Address before the Literary Societies
of Lafayetie College, was delivered on Tues
day afternoon last, by J. Pringle Jones, Esq.,
of Reading. A friend writing to us says it was
a very superior production.
The beautiful Steeple of the German Reform
ed Church has just been re-painted. The
Whig says it looks better than ever.
The locos will hold their Delegate Election
on Saturday afternoon, in the several wards of
the Borough.
Death of Judge Story.
The eminent jurist is no more ! The bright
est ornament of the legal profession has been
taken from us. Joseph Story, L. L. D., one
of the Justices of the U. Stales Supreme Court,
and Dane Professor of Law in Harvard Univer
sity, expired at his residence, in Cambridge
last Wednesday evening, at a quarter before
nine o'clock. His pulse ceased to beat, and
his bands were cold, before eight, P. M. His
disease was stoppage of the intestines, or stran
gulation, the same sickness which ended the
life of Mr. Legare in Boston in 1843. The
Boston Courier says : " Judge Story was 65
years of age. He graduated at Harvard Uni ver
bify in 1798, and was appointed to the Judge
' hhip of the United Stales Court by President
'Madison in 1811. He has filled a high office
in the judicial service of his couniry, and a
higher station in the public eye, and he has left
apace, which will not he easily filled."
The Coffee Trade.
According io a writer in the Merchants' Mag
azine, the quantiry of -coffee shipped from the
different places of its production is at present
estimated as being 459,000,000 lbs;; of which
Brazil furnishes 170,000;000, 'Cuba 45,000,
000, Hayii 40,000,000, and. Java and Sumatra
140,000,000. The import of coffee 'inio the
United States was, in 1S21, 21,273,659 lbs.;
in 1844, 158,332,111 lbs. The consumption
in 1821, 11,886,063 lbs.; in 1844, 149,711,820
lbs. In 4821, the consumption per head in the
United 'Siaies was 4 lb. 4 oz.; in 1830, it was
3 lbs. per head-; and-in 1842, 6 lbs. per head.
Coffee is now imported 'into the United States
free of duty. In England the duty on foreign
coffee is 16 cents per pound, and ihe consump
tion per head is 'less one-fourth of what it is in
the United Stales.
Terrific Hailstorm.
A most frightful storm of hail and rain, ac
companied by thunder and lightning, passed
over this village on Thursday of last week, do
ing immense damage to the crops, fruit, &c.
It is estimated that in this village and vicinity,
upwaf'ds of 20,000 panes of glass were broken
by the hail. One of Judge Whitney's barns
were 'unroofed ; fowls and birds were pelted to
death by the hail ; carriages upset by the wind;
horses broke their fastenings and ran furiously
through the streets ; corn was greatly damaged,
fields of buckwheat wholly destroyed ; and
miles and miles of fences prostrated. In one
field of beans, belonging to Capt. Thorp, 200
bushels it is supposed were shelled by the hail.
Altogether, it was a frightful scene, and our on
ly wonder is that our citizens escaped without
personal injury. One instance of heroism on
the part of a little deaf and dumb boy, some six
or seven years old, a son of Mr. Gabriel Arm
strong, is worthy of notice. He in company
with a little girl were absent on an errand,
some distance from any house when the storm
came on. The girl fainted, from fright, and
fell to the ground. The little fellow sal down
by her side and with his bare neck and thinly
clad bpdy, endeavored to screen his charge
from the effects of the storm. In this situation
he remained duringthe continuance of the storm,
and until they were discovered and relieved by
the neighbor. His neck was considerably cut
by the hail stones, but happily he escaped se
rious injury. Broome Republican.

Counterfeiters.
The Lexington, (Ky.) Observer gives an ac
count of a counterfeiting establishment which
has just been broken up within forty' miles of
Lexington. G. Y. Robinson was arrested some
time since in Columbus, Ga. While sick in
prison he made confess.ons which led to the
detection of his accomplices in Kentucky.
Robinson got his money from John and Wil
liam Banton, who lived on a Kentucky farm.
At the Banton farm uas found the moat com
plete and extensive establishment for counter
feiting that is to be found, perhaps, in the Uni
ted States presses, one which will weigh five
thousand pounds stamps, dyes, crucibles, with
a large quantity of metals, and, in fact, every-
lihing rtecessary for the business. The Ban-
tons were taken to Stanford for trial.
A War missile.
A mechanic in Cincinnati has just invented
a terrific war missile in the nature of a cannon
ball, in reference to which the Commercial'
asserts with perfect confidence that one war
vessel loaded with these balls, and two or three
cannons to fire ihem, could sink an opposing
fleet of ten sail in as many minutes ! The
Paixban guns are nothing by the side of this in
vention. It is asserted the inventor has sailed
for Europe to tecure a patent there of his in
veniion.. Whai iu the world is it ?
The Case of Mr. Gough.
The New York Express of Saturday nays :
" We are truly glad to announce that Mr. Gough
has been found and restored to his friends :
As there will probably be garbled statements
abroad in relation to this matter, we give the
accompanying account, drawn up for publication
by the gentleman (Mr. Hurlbut) to whose house,
in Brooklyn, Mr. Gough was taken as soon as
found, by Mr. G. F. Hays.
"Mr. Gough Found. Yesterday, about 12
o'clock, officer G. F. Hays discovered Mr.
Gough at a house in Walker street, where he
had been since Friday night last. His own
account of himselfis that, after leavjng the Cro
ton Hotel, he met wilh an old shop-mate, wilh
whom he drank, as he supposed, a glass of so
da water, and from that time till he was found
he has but little knowledge of what transpired.
v '-He is now with his friends, and under the
care of a physician, and hopes are entertained
of his speedy recovery.
" It was not at a soda fountain iu Broadway
that Mr. Gough and his -companion drank, but
at a shop in some street leading out of, or cros
sing Broadway. Mr. Gougb, as has been pre
viously stated, left the Croton Hotel, and went
to the store of Messrs. Saxton & Miles, where
he transacted some business and left passing
Coleman's, he slopped to look at some prints
in the window, when he was accosted by an
old acquaintance and shop mate (a book binder)
who accosted him, and asked him what he was
doing now.
" 'I am lecturing on temperance,1 replied Mr.
Gough.
" 4 Is not that Tather a poor work?' asked his
friend.
" ' Why, no ; I think it a good work,' an
swered the lecturer.
Well,' said the other, 'I suppose you have
got to be so pious now that you would not drink
a glass of soda water !'
O, no ! I do not refuse to drink soda wa
ter; and here is a fountain- suppose we go in
and have a glass?
They were, at this time, passing Thompson
& Weller's in Broadway; but, stopping at the
door, they saw a large number of persons wait
ing round the fountain, when Mr. G.'s acquain
tance said Come with me, I can soon take
you where you can get a better glass of soda
than you can get there ;' and, so saying, led him
round a corner to a small shop, where he call
ed for soda, something passing between the
keeper of the place and the person in whose
company Mr. G. had fallen. The soda water
being prepared, he drank it, and that is the last
that Mr. G. recollects i ill this morning, when
he recollects to have heard it said that there
was a reward offered for Mr. Gough, the Tem
perance lecturer.'
Mr. Gough's friends make no charges, as yet;
they are rejoiced at having their friend, and the
friend of temperance restored to them; and they
thank Heaven that he has been preserved. But
what course will the public authorities pursue?
Will not every person, who has been engaged
in this fiendish transaction, be called to ac
count? We sincerely hope so. Some strong
narcotic drug, probably opium, was undoubted
ly administered to Mr. Gough in no small quan
tity. His watch, ring, gold pencil, and chain,
were all safe, and he had about S70 in money
about him. It will be recollected that he had
S230 when he left the Croton Hotel.
There are yet many things to be called up ;
amongst others, (he fact that, although this gen
tleman had been missing a week, no tidings
were bad of him until a reward was offered for
his restoration. But we are in hopes that when
the effect of the drugs with which he has been
dosed, are worked off, that Mr. G. himself will
be able to give some information which will
throw more light upon the whole transaction.
At present he is quite delirious.
"At a late hour last night Mr. Gough remain
ed in a very critical situation. He has, no
doubt, eaten a very large quantity of opium ; so
much that his sysiom is prostrated by it, and is
almost beyond the action of medicine. No one
but his medical attendants are allowed to see
him, nor has he his reason sufficient to allow
him to make any explanation further than what,
we have given, and which he made known yes
terday forenoon.
" Mr. Gough was found at a house in Walk
er st., and his friends, it is said, refuse to dis
close the place ; but the refusal cannot stand
when the city authorities take action in the
primesis, which they must do speedily.
Sixteen Thousand Dollars in Gold
Picked up in the Street. -On Friday, in
Boston, Mr. J. L. Riddle picked up, in Con
gress street, opposite his store, a plain pine
box, which upon examination, proved to be
five bags of sovereigns. It has been claimed
by a Mr. Dorr, who says it dropped from hip
carriage.
A Warning Who will heed It?
The Baltimore American present in the fol
lowing paragraph some very lamentable truths:
" The overthrow of the Tariff and ihe re-establishment
of the Sub-Treasury would bring
back upon us ihe scenes of 1837, with bank
suspensions, a disordered currency, a bankrupt
treasury and paralyzed business. It may be
said that it is useless to speak of these things;
that a positive knowledge that the results here
spoken of would inevitably follow the measures
iu question would have no effect with some
no influence whatever to draw them away from
the onward parly movement. Such is ihe dis
heartening consideration which besets the mirufc
of thinking men when they look at the political
contest of these days. Nevertheless there- is
but one course for those who wou)d do their
duty to the couniry. Under all circumstances
the cause which they believe to be the right
one must bo sustained with whatever efforts a
resolute purpose and an aideni zeal can sum
mon to the struggle. We are all on board ihe
same ship. We mut keep her from the break
ers as long as we can for if she strikes we
must all go down together."
The "Malleable Glass" Invention.
A paper on the continent mentions the redis
covery of malleable- glass, iu Saint Etienne.
It is the production of a sort of glass as malle
able when cold, as while hot. The Montieur
des Arts, says : " This new metal which ere
long will be more valuable than o!d, and which
the inventor has called Silicon, is of a white
color, very sonorous, and as brilliant and trans
parent as crystal. It can be obtained with equal
ease opaque or colored; combines with various
substances, and some of these combinations
produce shades of extraordinary beauty. Ii is
without smell, very ductile, very malleable, and
neither air nor acids affect it. It can be blown
like glass, melted or stretched out into long
threads of perfect regularity. It is very hard,
very rough, and possesses the qualities of mol
ten steel, in the very highest degree, without
requiring to be tempered. A variety of objects
have been made of this Silicon, which are about
to be exhibited to the public.
A new kind of JLight.
A new mode of procuring light has been com
municated to the French Academy of Science,
which is to obtain and use the spirit resulting
from the distilation of wood. Four parts of
this spirit are to be mixed with one part of es
sence of turpentine.
Death from a Pin.
Mrs. Mary Eaton, of Farrninghim, came to
her death in the following manner :
" About three weeks since, being engaged in
doing her usual work, she stuck a pin into her
thumb, and then put her hands in cold water,
which produced inflammation, that was follow
by mortification, causing'her death in about 22
days from the time of the accident."
Death from the Bite off a Snake.
Mr. George W. Frederick, died at Greens
borough, Alabama, on the 9th ult., from the ef
fects of a snake bite received sixteen hours pre
vious. He was in the water fishing when he
was bitten.
Death Warrant.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has issued
his warrant for Ihe execution of Jabez Boyd,
convicted of murder in Chester county, to be
carried into effect on Friday, 21st of Novem
ber next.
An Execution.
Henry G, Green, who was lately convicted
of murdering his wife, by poison, at Troy N.
Y., was hung on the 10th inst. He confessed
his crime, and acknowledged the justness of
his sentence.
Something Singular.
Several persons of the Jewish persuation in
Cincinnati were fined $3 each for violating the
laws of Moses in keeping open their stores on
the Seventh day. This is the first time that
the christian magistracy ever enforced obedi
ence to the laws of Moses, by those professing
themselves to be governed by those laws.

Swapping Wives.
The Angelica (N. Y.) Reporter gives an ac.
count of two young fellows who mutually be.
came discontented with their wires, and there,
fore made an exchange of their belter haWej
thinking, no doubt, this a much better and !&
expensive manner of settling their family affairs
than troubling the Chancellor. They are rep.

and very respectably connected.

manners.
Travellers must make up their minds iu this
as in other countries, to fall in now and then,
with free and easy people. I am bound, how
ever, to say that in two most glaring instances
of vulgar familiarity which we have experienced
here, we found out that both the offenders had
crossed the Atlantic only ten years before, and
had risen rapidly from a humble station. What
ever good breeding exists here in the middle
classes is certainly not of foreign importation ,
and John Bull in particular, when out of humor
with the manners of the Americans, is ofien un
consciously beholding bis own image in the
mirror, or comparing one class of society in ihe
United States with another in his own country,
which ought, from superior affluence and leis
ure, to exhibit a higher standard of refinement
and intelligence.
