It seems we were wrong last week in stating that

signed the ' , Address" were delegates duly elected.
The remainder were manufactured in town for the

of this paper, hailing from Hollidaysburg, has been
received. It is printed on a super-royal sheet, with
new type—supports Buchanan for President, and
opposes the administration of Gov Porter. Its
editor, Joss DOUGHERTY, though not flippant, is a

A ro Zan Millad in a right in Law
renceville.
The Pitt:burg Chronicle states that a re.ncontre
took place, recently, at a tavern near the IT. S. Arse
nal, at Lawrenceville, between a blacksmith named
James Ryan, who worked at or near the Arsenal,
and a man named Michael Sleigh, which resulted in
the death of the former in a sudden and awful man
ner.
From the information which we could gather, it
appears that Ryan was the aggressor, and insulted
Sleigh in an insulting manner, as if to pick a quar
rel out of him. The fight, as we learned at the
Coroner's office, commenced inside of the tavern,
which was kept by a man named Haines, .ho not
wishing to have the quarrel in hie house, turned the
parties out of doors. They then proceeded to a
spot near the house, and commenced again, when
Sleigh struck Ryan a blow upon the aide of the face
or neck, which killed him instantly. Two or three
physicians were immediately called in, but the man
was quite dead, his neck, as we were informed,
having been dislocated by the force of the blow.
We may add, that two of the Pittsburg papers
state that Sleigh was very anxious to avoid the
fight, saying, 4 .1 do not want to quarrel or light, but
if Ido I shall kill you with a single blow." Ryan
then called him "a coward." The combat took
place, and Ryan was killed immediately.
Ascension by Mr. Greyer.
The Carlisle Herald of the 23rd inat.cays—"We
observe that our young townsman, Mr. Craver,
made an ascension in Mr. Wise's balloon from
Winchester, V. on Saturday last. The ascension
was entirely successful, and was made in the pres
ence of from six to eight thousand persons. A
young lady, highly respectable, but of romantic and
daring character, it is stated. was anxious to "take a
wet" Mertz, but could not he accommodated! The
tergnaut landed about fourteen miles from Win
chester.

'fte Warren Vrav,ll7.
The Newark Advertiser says t "Another item of
evidnce in the dreedrul Warren Tragedy is said to
have been revealed, and that through the instrumen
tality of leg—which was seen eotne days ago
dragging a bloody coat from under Carter's barn,
the prisoner now in custody on suspicion. On ex
amination it proved to be Carter'. coat!--very
much stained with blood. It is further rumored
that the servant girl who lived in Carter's family, at
the time of the murder, said that Mrs. C. washed
her husband's clothes the next morning up stairs—
which shc had never done before. There are other
strong circumstances against the prisoner, who is re
lated by marriage to Mr. Parke, one of the murder
ed family, who was a bachelor, and whose property,
in the usual course of descent, would have been in
herited by the children of Mrs. Castner, who was
also murdered with her husband and infant. Mr.
Carter's wife, it is said, would have been the next
heir."
CROPS or THE UNION.
PENNSYLVANIA.
From all the information that can be obtained
through travellers, and our numerous exchange Rat,
of papers pubiished in every county of the Common
wealth, an incident always of a paper published at a
seat of Government like Harrisburg, we have arrived
at the conclusion, and now exprees the opinion, that
the grain crop this year in Pennsylvania, is about a
fair average one. In this vicinity, (county of
Dauphin,) farmers tell us that, although the grain
stood thin upon the ground, and the amount of
straw is rather small, still the berry is plump and
full, and that on the whole the yield is quite as
great in quantity, and superior in quality to that of
last season. Asa specimen --Samuel S. Rutherford,
a farmer of Susquehanna township, residing about
three miles from Harrisburg, a week or two since
thrashed some 1200 sheaves of wheat, which yielded
him eighty-nine bushels of pure grain; a bushel to
nearly every 14 sheaves. This may be accounted
a good yield. So far as we have heard, also, the
damage from rust or smut, is but trifling; here and
there a field has been hurt by them; but generally
speaking, they have done but very little injury. In
regard to the crops of other States of the Union, we
collate and condense the latest information we find
on the subject in our exchanges.—Har. Tel.
NEW YORK.
The New York Tribune of the Bth inst, says
the wheat harvest throughout this State, as we gath
er from a comparison of all accounts, has been a
fair average one—the straw thin by reason of the
severity of the winter, but the heads long and the
berry clean and plump.
ILLINOIS.
The Alton Telegraph, published in extreme South
ern Illinois, has the following :—..The wheat har
vest commenced in this neighborhood some ten or
fifteen days since, and the crop generally is found
much better than was anticipated. Many who sup
posed in the spring that they would not have the
amount of the seed will have at least half a crop,
while others will realize a fair average yield. Upon
Mir whnlsa mou ton feeataer the wheat was novel
better. The'deep and protracted snows afforded it
complete protection from the frost."
0 AROLIN A.
A letter from Pineville, (S. C.) dated 2nd inst.,
speaking of crops, in Upper St. John's, Berkley, the
region which was ravaged by hail some time since,
says:— , Our crops are doing well, better than I
thought they could ever have done. They are
bearing well, and without too early a fell, they will
yield better by far then persona would have suppo
sed. Corn will be abundant—l will make nearly
two year's provisions."
MISSOURI,
The Missouri Statesman of the !ZEith tilt. has the
following paragraph:
From the present situation of the crops we feel
authorised to report that they will fall far short of
any previous year. The corn is unusually small,
uneven in height and unhealthy in appearance.
Wheat, on an average, does not yield half a crop,
and what there is, is very much injured by rust.
The tobacco growers have had a very unpropitious
season. In the first place the plants were small ;
and the dryness of the weather since the time for
planting, has very much prejudiced their efforts to
get their crops in. Therefore, judging from all ap
pearances, crops of tobacco will be much short of
last year.
ARKANSAS.
The Washington Telegraph of the 19th ult., says
that the crops in that region look very well, and that
even on Red River, where the Spring-flood proved
so destructive, a fair harvest is promised.
A Hall Storm.
The city of Maumee, Ohio, was visited on the 9th
inst. by a severe hail storm, which did much damage.
No less than three thousand panes of glass were bro
ken. The storm was nearly as destructive in Perrys
burgh. The ground was whitened with hail stones.
UNMITIGATED ScousnnErasm.—tinder this
head the Cleveland Herald, of the sth inst., gives an
account of the seduction of a Mrs. Bleden, by a Dr.
Peabody, and their flight:
" What adds, if possible, to the enormity of the
conduct of the adulterer, says the Herald, is the fact
that he has deserted an excellent and respectable wife
and an interesting family of children, but in addi
tion i,to robbing them of 'peace and happiness, has
literally stripped them of the conveniences of life.—
We are informed that, to raise money for the flight,
he mortgaged his property, including even the fur
niture, &c, of the family.
" Peabody is about 44 years old, 5 feet 10 inches
high, lather portly, with full brandy colored face,
speaks quick, and shows a rather handsome set of
small teeth, and is a great bragadocio. Mrs. B. isa
very small, frail looking woman, about 32 years old,
and has no children. We hope the press will give
them the notoriety such villany merits."
Cr The late Locofoco county meeting of Berke
nominated Henry A. Muhlenburg for the next
Go,ernor.
Dokaders of Baltimore.
The citizens of York, Pa., contemplate celebrating
the anniversary of the battle of North Point, in that
borough, viz: Tuesday the 12th of September.
They have held a public meeting on the subject,
and appointed a committee to make the necessary
arrangements, and Invite the old defenders of the
city now rceident in Baltimore to be present on the
occasion.
A Sumptuary Law.
One of the far-famed and much abused sumptua
ry laws of the Massachusetts Colony, was passed in
the year 1651. The legislature We can
not, but to our grief, take notice that intolerable ex
cess and bravery has crept in upon us, and especi
ally among people of mean condition, to the dishon
or of our God, the scandal of our profession, the
consumption of our estates, and altogether unsuitable
to our poverty." The court then says That
no person whose visible means does not exceed
$2OO, shall wear any gold or silver lace, or gold or
silver buttons, or silk hoods or scarfs." The select
men were to take notice of those who in the costliness
of their dress exceeded their abilities; especially
those that wore " ribands and great boots."
Honesty the rest Policy.
The Rochester Democrat gives a forcible illustra
tion of this sentiment in the case of a lad who was
4 , proceeding to an uncle's to petition him for his
sick sister and her children, when he found a wal
let containing $5O. The aid wan refused, and the
distressed family was pinched with want. The
boy revealed his fortune to his mother, but express
ed a doubt about using any portion of the money.
His mother confirmed his good resolution—the
pocket book was advertised and the owner found.—
Being a man of wealth, upon learning the history of
the family, he presented the $5O to the sick mother
and took the boy into his service; and he is now one
of the most successful merchants in Ohio. Hon
esty always brings its reward—to the mind if not to
the pocket."
A Petal Accident.
The New York Commercialsnystl7at a "young
man named States, a resident of Boundbrook, got
into the Somerville train bt the place of his resi
dence, and after the train luld proceeded two miles
on the way to the city, was killed in a shocking
manner by 4 a snake head,' or one of the iron rails,
which, being loose and turned up at one end, was
forced through the car.

Another Strike of Boatmen.
The impunity which was allowed to the unlaw
ful proceedings of the boatmen on the Lehigh, has
induced a like attempt at a similar outrage on the
North Branch Canal. The Columbia County
Resider of the 16th inst. says :
We learn that there is a jam of boats in the
canal, about three miles above Berwick, caused at
first by a few boatmen, who had conspired to meet
there and stake a 'strike,' and they now prevent all
boats from passing up or down. Measures should
be taken instantly to dislodge and disperse these
outlaws, before they become too strong for civil
authoritt."
Dauphin County.
The Locofoco Delegate Convention of Dauphin
county met in Harrisburg on the 21st inst., and
nominated the following ticket :
For Congress--Jacob Seiler, of Harrisburg, (sub
ject to the decision of the conferees.)
Assembly—George M. Leaman, Middletown;
Solomon Shindie, Ly ken.
Commissioner—Peter Mocker, Middle Paxton.
Treasurer—Michael Keller, Harrisburg.
Auditor—James Corbet, East Hanover.
Coroner—Jacob Brua, Esq., Mifflin.
E. W. nutter and George M. Laurnan. were
elected Delegates to the sth of September Conven

The Governor had no force of any account at the
Convention.
The ticket is manifestly a very weak one; and
much dissatisfaction is evinced about it in the Lo
