Snow In the East.
Mails due here from Philadelphia hare been
detained by the snow storm since last Tuesday
morning, snow fell to the depth of several feet
at Lancaster and Harrisburg on Tuesday night
impeding the transportation over the Central
Railroad. This misfortune has deprived us of
onr usual amount of news this week, but we
hope a few days will regulate affairs again.
VThile people are snowed up down east, we have
little or no snow here on the mountains "near
the line of perpetual snow."
Attempt to break Jail.
The three prisoners now in jail in this place
awaiting their trial for robbing the house of Rev.
Win. Martin in Johnstown, attempted within a
few days past to escape from Jail by burning
through the partition of the room and on the
Jailor moving them into another cell, they made
an attack on him and might have escaped but
for the timely assistance of another prisoner John
Rouk. They were secured and ironed.

New Arrangements.
It will be seen by an advertisement in another
column that Messrs. Thompson & Brawley have
changed the time of running their fast line of
hacks. These hacks are fitted up to suit the
most refined taste, calculated to afford tho pas
senger ease and comfort, and we do not wish to
flatter the drivers, but we must say they are per
fect gentlemen, and the most obliging the travel
ler can find anywhere.
Important Arrest.
The Lancasterian says that excitement has
been occasioned by the arrest of Judge Yonder
smith, and Gen. George Ford, by the United
States Marshall for the Eastern District of Penn
sylvania, and lodged in the Lancaster county
jail, on the charge ol obtaining pension monies
to a large amount from the Government by means
of fraudulent and forged certificates. They im
mediately sued out a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Long, and were admitted to bail in the
sum of $2000 each for their appcarace before the
United States District Court which set at Phila
delphia on last Monday. They were subsequent
ly re arrested by the Marshal, and gave bail for
the sum of $5000 for their appearance before
the U. S. District court. Walter G. Evans, Esq.
was arrested and held to bail in the same amount,
this gentleman is the magistrate, before whom
the alleged fraudulent acknowledgements were
taken.
Axotheb Daeixg Robberry. We learn from
the Huntingdon Journal of the 22d inst., that
the jewelry store ef Mr. Edmund Snare of that
place was broken open on Sunday night and rob
bed tif about 450 in money a number of gold
and silver watches, and other valuable articles
amounting to 31000. We are somewhat puzzled
at the various successes of those daring villains
who lurk arouud Huntingdon and Ilollidaysburg,
watching for a favorable moment to alight upon
their unsuspecting and uncontious prey. But a
few weeks since a similar daring and successful
robberry and burglary was effected in Ilollidays
burg, to the astonishment of every body, and
before the excitement has subsided we are in
formed of still another. It is our candid opinion
that an organized band of villians is secreted in
some of the adjoining counties, and we hopej our
citizens will bo on their guard and if any law
less vagabonds should make any attempts upon
their property they will be welcomed with hospi
tal hands to a place of safety.
We have been requested to state that a lec
ture will be delivered in this place, on Mon
day evening, the 6th of March, by Jacob Car
ter, the celebrated Temperance Lecturer on the
Evils of Intemperance.
We neglected in our last to notice "that our old
friend Peter Sweeny of Loretto, has permanent
ly established himself in the Boot and Shoe bu
siness. MrTS-'e reputation as an cxcellant Boot
maker cannot be denied, and we would advise all
who are in want of a good substantial winter
boot, to oall on Peter.
A petition has been circulated among oar cit
izens in favor of both Pine and Conemaugh coun
ties, making the Huntingdon and Ebensburg

"A treaty with the Ohamas has been effected.
The country north of the great Platte to be open
ed next spring. We have intelligence from the
Treaty Ground up to last evening. The Treaty
is closed with the Omaha?, whereby our Govern
ment purchases a tract of country estimated at
six and a half million cf acres at ten cents per
acre. The tribes are to receive a yearly annuity
of the interests which amounts to 40,000 a
year. The tribe is to receive protection from the
Sioux and settle upon a strip of land north of the
mouth of the Big Sioux. They are to evacuate
their lands in time for emigrants to get in crops
in the spring provided protection is afforded.
Major Gatewood has not been as successful in
treating with the Otoes ; however, they are ready
to agree to all the stipulations except that of re
moving north. They wish to go south ; we
think, hovever, the Major will be able to over
come these objections and proceed to treat with
the other tribes, and in a short time go on with
his Chiefs to ratify the stipulations. A military
post is to be established at the mouth of the
Little Sioux ; further particulars next issue.
There was no Indian fight as heretofore reported.
Terrible Scene at a Skip Wreck.
Tho Liverpool papers furnish full accounts of
the wreck of the ship Tayleur, on the Irish coast,
at the Island of Laniby, on the 21st of January,
having six hundred and twenty souls onboard,
of whom near four hundred were lost. One of
the passengers saved thus describes the scene.
" A raft was constructed, on which great num
bers of persons embarked ; but it was drifted
against the rocks and upset, when all on it per
ished. A rope was then conveyed on shore by
one of the swimmers, and about one hundred at
tempted to gain the rocks by clinging to it, when
the vessel suddenly fell over on her side, which
slackened one end of the rope, and caused the en
tire of them to let go their hold. The whole of
them were drowned. The captain, whose name
was Noble, was saved, but the only part of his
dress that he landed in was a flannel shirt. The
surgeon of the ship who had his wife and child
on board, attempted to swim on shore with his
child on his back, and supporting his lady with
one arm, while he swam with the other; the
three, however, unfortunately perished. One
lady had .4,000 in bank notes sewed in her
stays ; she offered 2,000 to any one who would
save her life, but in vaiu. She also was drowned.
A child of five months old is saved, and both pa
rents arc drowned. A German emigrant saved
his child's life by bearing it in his teeth from the
wreck to the shore. Only seven women are sa
ved, the rest, 197 in number, are drowned.
Thero are now upwards of sixty dead bodies on
tho island, and 200 survivors."
Railroad Accident.
Lancaster, Feb. 22.
The train which left Lancaster last evening,
when four miles East of Lancaster could get no
farther, on account of the immense drifts of snow.
An endeavor was made to force the train through,
when it was moved slowly back towards Lancas
ter. The train due at Lancaster from the West
had arrived, and started at schedule time ; it ran
cautiously, but not, however, sufficiently so as
to prevent a collision with the train backing up.
The down train running at the rate of twelve or
fifteen miles per hour, and the train hacking up
at the rato of from two to four miles per hour,
the shock was so great as to smash the car com
ing iu contact with the train East, pitching the
passengers from their seats and upsetting the
stove, which set fire to and consumed the car.
The engine ran half way through the car. Some
eight cars and five or six engines have been disa
bled by the violence of the collision. One pas
senger named Hudson, of Philadelphia, had both
legs broken, oue near the hip and the other at the
ankle ; Mr. William Larks had the toes of one
foot cut off, and another man had an arm bro
ken. Minnie P.ifle.
A Paris correspondent of the New York Tri
bune gives an account of a rifle used by the
Turks, in picking off the officers of the Russian
army at Oltenitza. It is designated as the Min
nie rifle, receiving its name from the maker, Ma
jor Miuuie. It is contracted with aback sight
sealed to distances, and carries with extraordina
ry accuracy. To show the power of the gun the
writer gives the result of a target the size of a
man's hat, off-hand and in succession. He pro
fessed the ability to do it all day, and to teach
any man of ordinary abilities to do the same. If
this i3 so, it beats Yankee rifledom. Only think
of popping off an officer at three-quarters of a
mile.
An Excentrio Treacher.
Murray's "Hand-book of South Italy " contains
some curious stories respecting Era Rocco, the
celebrated Dominican preacher and the spiritual
Joe Miller of Naples. On one occasion, it is re
Iated, he preached on the mole a penetcntial ser
mon, and introduced so many illustrations of ter
ror, that he soon brought his hearers to their
knees. While they were thus showing every
sign of contrition, he cried out, "Now all you
who sincerely repent of your sins, hold up your
hands. Every man in the vast multitude im
mediately stretched out his hands. "Holy Ar
changel Michael," exclaimed Rocco, "thou whe
with thine adamantine sword standest at the
right of judgment 6cat of God, hew me off every
hand which has been raised hypocritically."
In an instant every hand dropped, and Rocco,
cf course, poured forth a fresh torrent of elo
quent invective against their deceit. He had a
great dislike to tobacco, and when once preach
ing to a crowd of Spanish sailors, he astonished
them by saying that there were no Spanish saints
in heaven. A few, he said, had been admitted,
but they smoked so many cigars that they make
the lioly virgins sick : and St. Peter set his wits
to work to get them out. At length he Proclaim
ed that a bull fight was to be held out-side the
eates of Paradise. Thereupon every Spanish
saint, without exception, ran to see the fight,
and St. Peter immediately closed the gates, and
took care never to admit another fcpaniard.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE
Austria and Prussia About to take Sides
with England and France.
Yievxa. Count Buol has drawn out a decla
ration of neutrality, with a strong leaning to
ward the views of the Western Powers, and has
given this to Count Orloff as a final answer. Or
lofTs mission has therefore failed.
The Czar's proposals were to f rni a defensive
league with all the German Powers, and if the
Western rowers attacked any one thereof, Rus
sia would make common cause with theui, and
would not conclude any peace without consulting
their interests.
The German powcr3, through Austria, defin
itely refuse. Russia is, therefore, isolated.
The Western powcr3 are immediately to de
mand the evacuation of the Principalities, and
will compel it forthwith.
The Russian Minister in London has paid a fi
nal formal visit to the Foreign Department.
It is reported at the latest moment that Aus
tria and Prussia declared for the Western Pow
ers. JAPAN.
The American and Russian Expeditions. A
letter from Hong Kong, Dec. 11, says that the
United States squadron, comprising the Susque
hanna, Macedonia, Po what tan, Plymouth, and
Yandalia, were then in harbor, and were prepa
ring for departure northward. Commodore Per
ry was exacted over from Macao, in the steam
er Mississippi. At Canton, were the storesliip
Supply, and chartered steamer Queen; and at
Whampoa, the storeship Southampton. The
Sea Witch, at Hong Kong, was about to proceed
to Namoa, to ship laborers for the Panama Rail
road.
The Admiral of the Rnssian Japan Expedition
arrived at Shanghai, Nov. 27, in the screw steam
ship Yostock, leaving his frigate, the Pallas, and
a brig-of-war, under the Saddle Island. He had
just arrived from Nangasaki, where he had awai
ted a reply to his mission to the Emperor of Ja
pan. It was said that finding longer delay fruit
less, he had looked in at Shanghai for supplies
and news from Europe. He was thought to be
bound to Manilla.
Doubt is thrown on the reported death of the
Emperor of Japan. The report is explained by
the circumstance that the death of a Japanese
Monarch places the Court in mourning for three
years, during which time no foreign embassy can
be received.
AUSTRIA.
InsUious Designs Towards Turkey. Letters
from Vienna, Constantinople, and Widdin, (says
the Daily News.) represent the conduct of Aus
tria at this moment as insidiously and dangerous
ly hostile to Turkey. Austria again demands
that the commanders who have lately so ably de
fended Turkey on the Danube, shall be removed,
on the plea that they are renegades and revolu
tionists. The concession of such a claim would
deprive the Sultan of the services of Selim Facha,
commandant of Kalafat; of Ismail Pacha, who
fought so gallantly at Citale ; and even of those of
Omer Pacha himself. While preferring this de
mand, Austria is adding to her army of 80,000
men on the Turkish fronties, by marching 30,000
from Bohemia. The movements of Kossuth have,
perhaps, something to do with this.
INDIA AND CHINA.
Another Kingdom Seized by the Brithh. The
London press have letters and despatches in anti
cipation of the overland mail from Calcutta, Dec.
20, Madras 24, Shanghai 1, Amoy 5, Ilong Kong
11, Singapore 18, Penang 21. Galle 27, Bombay
29, Burmah Dec. 3. No mail from Australia,
though due.
Lord Elphinstonc has succeeded Lord Falkland
as Governor of Bombay. An important event
had occurred in Central India the Rajah of Nag-
pore died in his capital cf Nagpore oa the 11th of
December, and as the British Governor had stead
ily refused to permit him to name a successor,
(although the Rajah had sons,) the whole of his
magnificent dominions have fallen to the British,
who immediately occupied tho canital with
troops. On the 12th, the body of the late sover
eign was buried with the usual ceremonies.
The Governor General of India had arrived at
Pgu, in Ava, just in time to learn of the discov
ery of a conspiracy to massacre all the British in
Rangood. This conspiracy had 1,500 enrolled
men, who were to rise at a given signal, during
the religious feast of November 23. The Court
of Ava is believed to have instigated and encour
aged the plot, which, however, one of the accom
plices divulged.

The Czar's Statement of his Intentions. The
Journal of St. Petersburg publishes at the head
of its columns of the 20th of January, the follow

an official notice :
NOTICE.
" The public are already aware, through the
foreign papers, of the orders given by Great Bri
tain and France to their combined fleets to cuter

In Johnstown, on Sunday, the 12th-inst.,
A.VN-A Maria, daughter of David T. and Mary J.
Storm ; aged ly years 7 months and 21 days.
The subject of this notice was as edifying in
her death as the h:d been exemplary in her life.
Many who witnessed her last moments, and
comprehended the varied and tender ties that
bound her to life, were struck with admiration
at the cheerfulness, we had almost said anxiety,
with which the desired to bid adieu to the world.
The victim of Consumption, fbr some time before
her dissolution she felt that sooner or later na
ture must yield to the increasing inroads of the
lingering disease : and resigning herself into the
hands of God, she determined, by a closer atten
tion to the affairs of her soul, to prepare herself
for the crisis, which she knew could not be far
distant. How careful that preparation had been,
was Evident to those who stood by her to the
last. When fortified by the last sacrament, she
calmly awaited the call which should summon
her before the Sovereign Judge, earnestly' urging
as her last dying request, that those. around
ahouia yrciirp, those duties which Religion en
joins as necessary to eternal life. A spectacle so
edifying in one at an age when the fascinations
of society, and the allurements of "the world pos
sess the greatest charm, is indeed a great triumph
of God's grace, but one which it never fail Jo
achieve when the heart is not wilfully closed to
its influence. Side by side with her sister she
reposes in tho Catholic cemetery awaiting, a we
hope, a glorious Resurrection.. Eternal rest,
give to her, oli, Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon her. 1 c J
