Distressing Accident,
A few weeks ego, a 3fr. Derr, of Cumberland
count, net with a most distressing accident. Some
eight or ten years ago he had one of his legs am
jaunted, on account of a tree having fallen upon it;
after which he got a wooden leg, on which lie wor
ked about the neighborhood as a day laborer. A
few weeks ago, as above stated, while chopping
wood, he cut his,remaining leg so severely, with an
ate, that when he attempted to walk towards a house
in sight of him, the bone broke, and he was left in
a helpless condition, in the field. Although all the
assistance that medical and surgical skill could af
ford was bestowed upon him, he survived only a few

A Scene not in the Sill.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 12th inst. says:
a Gov. Porter attended the Walnut street Theatre
On Thursday evening. His Excellency was ac
companied by some friends, and soon of his arrival,
an ardent admirer, anxious to distinguish himself in
a peculiar manner, rose, and with a stentorian voice,
proposed 'three cheery for Governor Porter.' An
awful pause ensued--no one seconded the motion,
and instead of the contemplated shout, there was
an audible titter among the audience. The scene,
says our informant, was rich."
Candidates for Congress.
111 ROM of the districts the respective parties are
already looking around them for candidates for seats
in the next Congress. In this districtove believe,
the subject has not been agitated in a public way,
but the general impression would seem to be that
Gen. S. MILER GREEN, the last fall's candidate un
der the pocketted Apportionment bill, or Gen. Jamas
IRvIN, the present member from Centre, will be the
candidate of the Whig and Antimosonie party, and
Mr. GI/STINE, the present member from Juniata
that of the Locofocos.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the "Kickapoo
Chief," and his comrades to " use up" Huntingdon
county by throwing it into the jaws of a hideous
Gerrymander, we are inclined to think they "cant
come it." In this district the contest will no doubt
be a close one. We could name several prominent
Locofocos who could easily be defeated

Canal Commissioners.
Mn. &mom—Amongst a great many good
men and tnte end whose nain.l have seen used in
connection with the office of Canal Cominissiimeni,
is that of ANnnaw MsuArrer, Esq. of Lancaster
county. With the highest opinion of the abilities
and honesty of most of the other gentlemen spoken
of, Mr. Mehaffey has shown that he is preeminently
qualified to discharge the duties of Canal Commis
sioner. It will be recollected, that this gentleman
was Superintendent of Motive Power on the Phil
adelphia and Columbia railroad, under Ritner's Ad
ministration. He entered upon his duties at a time,
when everything had been plunged into inextricable
confusion and disorder, by the ignorance and un
faithfulness of those who had control of the road
under Wolf's Administration. Yet, though Mr. M,
found the Columbia Railroad in this ruinous condi
tion—an annual expense to the State, of thousands
of dollars—he woo enabled by his remarkable bust
neas tact, his indomitable energy of character, and
above all, by his rigid economy and strict integrity,
to bring onler out of disorder, system out of confu
sion, and in the last year of his administration of
the affairs of the road, to pay into the State Treasu
ry about thirty thousand dollars, instead of paying
out $75,000 or $lOO,OOO. No better evidence of
his talents, integrity and economy can he given, tlutn
this important fact; and the people will require no
other evidence of Mr. Mehaffey's peculiar fitness,
than that given by him while Superintendent of the
Columbia Railroad. lam aware that it will be no
recommendation of Mr.Mehaffey, to those who sup
port the present infamous State administration, to
be told that he left the office no richer than when he
found it, while their creed remains as it now is, for
every one to plunder the State as much as in his
power. But I trust the Democratic Harrison party
and the people at large, will view the matter in a
different light, and that they will show their appre
ciation of his honesty and fitness for the office, by
making him one of the candidates of that party for
Canal Commissioner. It is the services of such
men as Mr. M., which the State now imperatively
requires to raise it from the depressed and embarras
sed condition into which corrupt Canal Commission
ers, countenanced by a corrupt Executive, have
contributed to involve it snore than any other, or all
other causes. P.

Sabbath Day in Camp.
Much has already been said in praise of the sol
diery at the late Encampment at Bedford, for their
orderly and soldier-like conduct, their fine appear
ance, their proficiency in drill, &c., but their strict
observance of the Sabbath day is a matter which
redounds more to their credit than all else. That
among so large a body of men, and on an excursion
undertaken, by most of them at least, more for the
novelty and romance of the thing than for any thing
else, none should be found so far forgetful of the re
spect due to themselves, their fellow-soldiers, and
to the day, as to indulge in unbecoming or disor
derly conduct, may well excite surprise; neverthe
less it is a fact that such was the case at Bedford,
and we take no little pleasure in making the decla
ration, borne out as we are by our editorial brethren
of the press at that place. The Gazette says--
aOn Sunday at 10 o'clock the whole line was
formed without arms, and, under the conduct of
their officers, moved, without music, to the Presby
terian Church where an appropriate sermon was
delivered by the Chaplain. During the day all duty
was suspended in Camp, and perfect order prevail
ed. The manner in which the Sabbath was observ
ed, exhibited the fact that, under a good commander
and rigid decipline, the a tented field," instead of
being made a place of rendezvous on the Lord's
Day, can be converted into a place of order, sobrie
ty, and morality.
'Until we witnessed the orderly conduct of the
Troops encamped at this place on last Sabbath, we
had serious doubts as to the propriety of continuing
an encampment over Sunday. We arc now satisfied
that our doubts wore founded in error. We walked
all through the Camp on Sunday and found every
thing quiet and orderly, and the men all engaged
either in chaste and quiet conversation, or reading
their Bibles. It was a beautiful sight."
Singular Being.
Some time since, we gave an account of a man
who had been confined in our workhouse for nearly
roily years. He died a short time since at the age
of aboot seventy. He was deaf, dumb and blind,
and for more than thirty-nine years had been con
fined in the cblle of the house, and during this
length of time had R. communication with a single
individual, and lived mom like a beast than a hu
man being. He slept on nothing but hard boards,
and wore only a shirt and pantaloons. His food
was daily handed him, when he would rise, take it
and eat, and then return to his board, where lie lay
curled up till another meal was brought in. Hie
name was Mayo.
In this manner he lived, occupying hut two cells;
one in the cellar in the winter and another in an
outhouse in summer, for this long period. Previ
ously to his confinement in the poor house, he was
for five years a tenant of the county jail. It is said
that he was bright and active when a child, but se
vere sickness destroyed Iris speech and hearing.—
Possessing a violent temper, and depraved withal,
he committed various crimes, which induced his
friends to confine him. He once set fire to his
Father's house. When taken to jail his anger was
so intense, that he tore out his eyes with his own
hands, and thus for forty years was deaf, dumb and
blind.—Portland Tribune.
During a severe atorm on the 4th inst., a man and
his wife, residing on Lycoming creek, a few miles
from Williamsport, were struck by lightning and in
stantly killed. They were named Stewart ; and at
the time the bolt struck them, were on their knees
engaged in Sabbath evening devotions to the Su
premo Being.

A Thief Defraude3.
The last Berwick, Pa. Enquirer,gives an account
of a thief named John Myers who stole a home
from Mr. Pettit of Sugarloaf township, Luzerne
county, which ho traded off in Berwick fur another,
and then went to Loyalsock in Lycoming county,
when he sold that animal to a couple of essence
pedlars, they paying him with a $5O note. The
pedlars put out with the horse at full speed, when
they were met by Mr. Pettit and others in pursuit of
the thief. Being aware of the previous trade, and
knowing„the horse, they seized him, and the ped
lars sprang into the woods, escaping through the
darkness of the night. The fun of the affair was,
that just as they had given up the pursuit, up rides
the thief with a posses of men, with a warrant for
the pedlars for passing counterfeit money, and
claimed the horse. Ile was at once arrested and
conveyed to Wilksharre jail.

Canal boat lowa of Bingham'a lino as driver, came
to his death on the 6th inst., at the locks on the Ju

night, the boat, on which ho was, struck violently

his head was crushed, and he fell dead into the wa

The military did not turn out so strong as was
anticipated. The German Battalion was peculiar
ly thin. On Caine of the steets, the crowds of the
people were immense ; and the display in the neigh
borhood of the hotel, and on the large flight of steps
of the U. S. Bank building, resembled a crowded
amphitheatre.
We accompanied the procession over the route,
but did not observe any thing deserving special no
tice. There were but few handkerchiefs displayed
by the ladies from windows, and most of those were
at the residences of office holders. At times, a little
cheering was heard, occasionally intermixed with a
show of disapprobation.
About 9 o'clock in the evening, the President and
suite paid a flying visit to the entertainment at the
Museum and the Walnut Street Theatre.
On entering the Museum, ho was greeted with
three cheers. Ho stopped but a few minutes, and
as ho was leaving, the band, singular as it may

On entering the Walnut Street Theatre, three
cheers were proposed, and responded to. The party

Launch of the RaritCn.
Few sights prove mom attractive, or afford more
gratification, than the launching of a ship of war.
Yesterday, then, was a day for the exercise of this
curiosity, and the gratification of patriotism, because
after more than twenty-two years repose beneath the
roof of the ship house, the Raritan Frigate was to be
wakened up, and moved towards her mission. The
people from the towns up and down the river,,flock
ed to the city, and residents of the city and districts
poured in regular currents towards the Navy Yard,
and to those steamboats that were to convey pas.
senors to a place on the river convenient for seeing
the magnificent sight.
About 2 o'clock, P. M., the sight was beautiful.
An immense number of steamboats, (we did not
think there were so many in Philadelphia,) were
ranged along the Delaware, in front of the Yard,
crowded with passengers, male and female, young
and old. Sloops and schooners, too, were anchored
close into the wharf, but out of the line of the
Raritan. The U. S. Receiving Ship, Lieutenant
Hunter's steamer, and small craft innumerable, were
there with decks crowded with company. There
were hundreds of small boats dodging in and out,
containing a few ladies, or a child or two, or half a
dozen men. The entailer conveyances added to
the liveliness of the water scene.
On shore, the wharves, stagings, windows, and
roofs of buildings, were completely occupied. Every
coign and vantage had some half a dosed perched
upon it. The large shears that stand on the end of
the wharf, were dotted from bottom to top, with men
who had clambered up, looking, as a friend said, 1 1
like cocroaches on a pair of tongs; and even the
rope and iron stays, that keep these shears in place,
were half covered with boys, who had shinned up
with wonderous agility.
The number of ladies present was immense, and
their gaily dressed bonnets showed at a short dis
tance like a flower garden in May.
At two o'clock, a gun was fired, to warn the
boats and steamers to " clear the track." Then
were braid the sound of mauls, splitting out the
blocks, and the whole cradle was soon cleared.
At thirteen minutes before 3 o'clock, a tremulous
motion of the flag gave notice that the ship was
starting. In half a minute her stern settled, and
she glided out of the house into the water with in
expressible grace. At once the immense host on
land and water uplifted a shout of triumph, and when
the hums began to subside, a grand Federal salute
was fired.
The arrangements at the Navy Yard for the ac
commodation of the public, were such as to reflect
the highest credit on those who had the planning
and the execution, and nothing was left to chance
for injury.
The band
The lion. U. P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy
was present, to enjoy the sight, and with him were
Commodore Read, Commodore Kennon, and a vast
number of officers, and others whose pursuits con
nect them with some or the business of the Navy
Department.
The officers of the Navy, not on duty, were in
Uniform, and with customary court.) , looked to
the accommodation of persons that needed advice
in that matter.
We understand that the Philosophical Society, or
Franklin Institute, had a deputation near the ship,
with instruments to endeavor to ascertain the
amount of friction there was on the ways. This
was probably attempted by sinking a thermometer
horizontally in the ways, so an to receive and regis•
ter the heat, without being crushed.
Captain Herman's German Band, in full uniform,
was on board, and commenced playing a national
air as soon as the ship started ; and Capt. Engles
stood at the bows, and as the ship glided into the
water, broke over the figure head a bottle of choice
whiskey.
The day woe remarkably fine; it was cool and
cloudy, co that the congregated masses were but
little annoyed with heat. Just as the ship began to
move, the sun broke out, and shone splendidly
upon the scene.
The agitation of the water, when the Raritan left
her ways, was so great as to swamp a boat in which
were several lads. They were taken from the
water with only a good thorough ducking, and not
much fear.
At one period, it seemed as if the occasion was to
be marred by a lamentable accident. A short time
previous to the launch, a number of schooners wore
anchored in the stream, above the ship house, side
by side, but before the ship touched the water, they
had all removed to another position, with the excep
tion of one containing, besides the crew, a small
party of ladies. Tho schooner lay in the path of
the ship, and she was struck by her bow after the
anchor had been dropped. Fortunately, the hawser
attached to the anchor of the schooner parted, as
also did the heavy iron cable of the ship's anchor,
or the schooner would inevitably have been run
down. The ladies on board appeared to be very
much frightened, and some of the men were in a
very little better situation. It was nothing less titan
culpable carelessness on the part of those having the
direction of the schooner, to place her in such a
manifestly dangerous position.
The ship was immediately taken in tow of the
steamboat John Fitch, and brought to a favorable
position in front of the Navy Yard, where she now
lies. •
While we were on board, we learned from some
of the gentlemen connected with the Yard, the fol
lowing particulars concerning the dimensions of the
ship, her armament, &c. She is a first class frigate,
is pierced for sixty-two guns, and requires, as her
entire complement, four hundred and fifty to fire
hundred men.

and the rigging is complete inyvery.respeet The
boats, also, arc finished, and a life boat will form

A handsome fire engine has been built by Mr,
John Agnew, for the use of the ship.
The beauty and trimness of her appearance, and
her light and graceful eit upon the water, were the
theme of general admiration among those cognizant
of such things, and it is certain that her build and
finish reflect credit, in an eminent degree, upon the
Philadelphia Shipwrights who fashioned her. She
is but another memorial of their well applied skill
and taste.
