At sax or Ft az.--Our citizens were startled from
their slumbers about 2 o'clock on Thursday morn
ing last, by the cry of fire; and those of them who
were hard to rouse, were greeted on opening their
eyes with the red glare of the destructive element,
tinging all around. The light proceeded from a car
on the side of the rail road, opposite Mulberry st.,
which some mischievous and unprincipled scamps
had set on fire, for their own amusement, destroying
the valuable property of some of their fellow citi
zens, for the sake of dikurbing the rest of the others.
It is much to be regretted that we have not a lay

which fell was over eleven inches ; the streets pres
ented the appearance of rivers; the cellars in the
lowest parts of the city were all filled, and much
merchandise destroyed ; the New-Jersey Railroad
trains were all interrupted by the immense accumu

Staten Island were nearly all washed away, and the
roads broken up by the flood ; much damage was
done at Richmond, and the beautiful gardens on the
hill-slope washed away ; and the shipping also sus

Unntingdon Female Seminary.
M*. CREMER:-By the invitation of the In
structress of this Seminary, I attended the examina
tion of the Pupils of this humble yet excellent In
stitution, on Thursday of last week; and it came
forcibly to my mind as my duty to call the attention
of the public to its merits; feeling confident, it nee
ded but to he better known to receive a much more
extensive encouragement.
I will not attempt, an essay on the subject of
female education. Enough has already been written
by abler pens than mine, to convince every intelli
gent mind, that female influence, guides the desti
nies, not only of individuals but of nations; and
that, that influence becomes more effectual, when
education has awakened the latent energies, and re
fined the natuml affection of woman. Inspiration
has recorded these truths of the virtuous woman
that— , her candle goeth not out by night" —n her
tongue is the law of kindness"---"she eatheth not
the bread of idleness." It is sufficient for my
pose then, when I say, that in this Seminary the
young Ladies are taught all those moral duties and
precepts, as well as the various branches of Educa
tion; which are calculated to fit them for a
brighter hope beyond the grave, and to fulfil their
duties on earth, with the sterling virtues of life as
their only purpose.
It was with more than ordinary pleasure, I found
myself in that circle of gay, happy, and intelligent
Misses of the Seminary, and we could not but say
with Mrs. llemans
" —Unto them young life
Spreads out the treasuresof its vernal years,
And if they weep—they weep far other team
Than the cold world wrings forth. • • • • "
and while I listened to their ready answers, during
their examination ; the thought pressed itself upon
me, that unto them, with others of their years,
would soon be committed the hopes and prospects
of our fair and favored land. How important then
that each, should use his means to secure the bene
fits of such instruction, to every daughter in th e
country.
Let me in a few words use my means to direct
attention to this Seminary. MISS PIIILIPS, the
Instructess, I hope will not think it flattery while I
speak of her in the language of commendation and
praise. There arc but few, very few, of our most
celebrated Female Institutions; which can boast a
more accomplished, intelligent, competent, and suc
cessful teacher, than her who conducts this Semina
ry—few who " rule so well their own house"—Few
who win more of the affection and obedience of her
pupils.—" Give her of the fruit of her hands, and
let her own works praise her."
I listened for hours to the classes in French, His
tory, Botany, Geography, Grammar, &c. &c., and
their several compositions; and left them convinced
that the teacher had cause to be proud of her pupils
and the pupils, of their teacher. In all their exer
cises they gave evidence of the ability, untiring, an&
unabating attention of their tear - ter, to improve them
in all those titlngs which are calculated to make them
useful members of Society.
A word more to parents, and I have done. Why
do you not,—all who have daughters, embrace the
present opportunity of having them placed under
the care and instruction of an excellent teacher?
To those in the country I would say, your daughters
can find excellent boarding and care in the town.—
It is not always that such an opportunity can be
enjoyed—though the Institution may be continued,
it is far from certain that the same commendation
can be given to the teacher. It is not all who can
win the love—secure the obedience--and impart to
the pupil the knowledge she may herself posses, and
are recommended by ability, accomplishment, virtue
and piety. Embrace the present opportunity. Let
your daughters be fitted to be more respected, and
esteemed though after life,—make them intelligent,
accomplished, and useful, and not permit them to
grow up, ignorant hoydens, to finish their ill-man
ners, and use lessuess,by a few months at a fashion
able Boarding School, where the squeamish follies
and vanities of fashiom supply the rare qualities of
virtuous womanhood ; and the store house of the
mind is filled with the imagery of corrupt and cor
rupting fiction, instead of the wholesome, happy,
but sober realities of life. A.
Great Fire.
A dreadful conflagration occurred at Sacketts
Harbor, N. Y., on the morning of the 21st of Au
gust. An extra from the office of the Black River
Journal, furnishes us with the particulars. The
Sparks from a departing steamboat communicated
fire to the storehouse of S. T. Hooker, and as the
wind was very high at the time, the flames spread
with fearful rapidity, enveloping soon the entire
range as far east as the Steamboat Office. The fire
soon crossed the street, destroying the Commercial
Hotel and all the intermediate buidings between
that and the Centre House, kept by A. Schuyler ,
which wasreaved. The brick building opposite the
Commercial, occupied asp saddler's shop, was also
destroyed, and all the buildings on both sides of
Bayard street to the Presbyterian Church, which
was also consumed.
A young man leaped from an upper story in the
Commercial, and was considerably injured—both
ltis legs were broken. The amount of property des
troyed is estimated at about forty thousand dollars.
It is believed that a very small portion of the prop
erty destroyed, was insured.
DEATH OF • Srnamosn.—'rhellarrisburg Intel
ligencer, says—" A stranger died at the house of
Jacob Hackenberger, in Londonderry township, in
Dauphin county, on the night of the 21st ult., un
der the following circumstances :—He was found on
the farm of Mr. Hackenberger on the day above
named, nearly exhausted from loss of blood, with
which his clothes were completely saturated. It
was supposed by those who found him that he had
inflicted wounds upon himself with the intention of
bleeding himself to death. A vein on his left arm
was open. He gave no account of himself when
found, but requested a decent burial. He was re
moved to the house of Mr. H., where he died that
night, and was decently interred the next day.—
Thirty-six dollars and fifty-seven cents in money,
and a silverwateh, a pair of spectacles and a pocket
knife lying open by his side, were found with him.
A letter wan also found in his possession, directed
to Riclaanl Morgan, wllielt istcuppowed e been

Balloon Ascension.
The following narrative of Mr. Wises forty
second aerial voyage, we take from the Lancaster
Union and Sentinel, of the 29th ult., to whose editor
it was addressed. It will be found to possess much
interest.
" Mr. EDITOR :—My trip on Saturday last, made
from the city of Lancaster, was one that may in
reality be called a pleasure excursion. The day,
although somewhat rainy during the preliminary
arrangements, became unusually fine by the time
of starting,—.2 o'clock. In about 10 minutes after
I left Terra Firma, my altitude was 4,000 feet ; at
which height the prospect appears the most pleas
ing, as you can easily particularize the different ob
jects displayed in the grand panoramic view below.
Lancaster county appeared on this occasion unusu
ally rich and animated; all nature appeared to bo
crying alottd for joy from beneath. Numerous and
urgent were the hundreds of invitations that I re
ceived to allight ; to many of which I responded by
dropping overbord newspapers, scgularily done up
in wrappers, and mailed, per Wise's Comet!'
despite of the orders of the P. M. General to the
contrary. I also kept up a conversation with the
inhabitants, until I became fatigued from the loud
ness, necessary on my part, to be understood be
low. I find that sound reaches one more audibly
upwards than downwards, in a clear atmosphere.
When passing underneath clouds, I have always
found the echo of my words, as distinctly uttered
(and some times at intervals unusually long,) as
the original. After remaining in the air one hour
and three minutes, I reached the earth with a long
rope, by which the Balloon was towed to the house
of Mr. Forney, on the Reading road, nine miles from
Lancaster, when in tho course of ten minutes, se
veral hundred persons had congregated together.—
A great portion of the assembled spectators took
possession of tho ropes hanging down from the car
and moved me off, nolcna miens, to the village of
Earlville, where I tinelly alighted, and partook Of g
real substantial Lancaster county supper.
During this voyage, I made particular observa
tions in regard to the exhalation of the human ay.
tern. I find that the action of the internal organs
is augmented with the diminution of atmospheric
pressure, and consequently followed by a rapid ex
halation of the fluids of tho body ; this becomes
very sensible to any part of the body on which the
clothing is drawn tight to the skin ; the sensation on
any shaded part of the body is similar to that pro
duced by blowing on it with a bellows; and in the
sun it produces a painfully pricking sensation.—
To this cause I must attribute the prevalence of
that voraciousness of appetite and thirstiness, expe
rienced by ether teronaunt as well as myself which
must naturally follow a violent healthy action of
the body.
I have of late years frequently spoken of the be
nefits that might be derived . by invalids, laboring
under Chronic Diseases, ill ascending with expe
rienced Orel skilful aronaunts. Everything in such
an excursion would conspire to healthy action ; the
grandeur of the scenery must invigorate the mental
faculties, while a correspondent physical action
will ensue from the diminished pressure of the at
mosphere, and the salubrity of the climate entirely
above the reach of noxious vapors. I do not pre
tend to say that the upper regions are better cal
' culated to sustain a due action of the animal func
tions, for nature has in her general course destined
us for the earth. But in all such cases of debility
from Chronic diseases, I believe that the pure up
per regions of the atmosphere will do more good to
the patient, than the virtue of any internal medi
cines. This might appear paradoxical, when I say
that my frequent ascensions have somewhat debili
toted my bodily strength. It has also created in
me a peculiar nervous temperament,—a very acute
sense of smelling, hearing and touching; these to
such a degree, that they have almost became a
source of annoyance. It must however be borne in
mind, that in this case, as in many others, that too
much of a good thing is good for nothing, and may
be considered as giving the machinery of the human
frame too much of the via vitae, under a diminished
Atmospheric pressure, when the health of the indi
vidual is good and strong. I have seriously thought
of constructing a balloon for invalids, and should I
bring it into practical operation, I feel so sanguine
of its usefulness, that I would undertake to cure
Dyspepsy on the conditions of no cure no pay.

Very respectfully your most obedient servant.

Beauties of Looofoooism I
The Clinton County Whig, of the 26th ult. says:
On Monday evening, (the 21st ult.) our usually
guietttown was the scene of Locofoco uproar and
confusion. The locofoco Press, nt that time in the
hands of tha anti-Porter portion of the party, was
very uncermoniously taken possession of by Porter's
friends, and forcibly carried oft A very large num
ber of persons were collected together at the scene
of action to witness the sport—and rare sport it
proved to be. The excitement was intense—and
when the contending factions came together in friend
Seely's sanctum, a scene ensued that beggars all
description. Confusion, disorder and violence
reigned supreme for a time. Some were engaged in
fighting—others in upsetting the types and scatter
ing them over the floor in most beautiful confusion
—while others vented their indignation in loud and
bitter threatonings and denunciations. However,
the Porter party succeeded in carrying off the Press,
and great was their rejoicing thereat. The slum
bers of our citizens were disturbed by the firing of
Cannons and the shouts of the victors, which con
tinued until a late hour of the night. This is
modem "Democracy!" alias Porter Loco Focoism!
What think you of it?
New use of the Tomato.
The Cheraw (Ga.) Gazette states that, in addi
tion to the advantages of the Tomatoes for table use,
the vine is of great value as food for cattle, especially
cow. ft is stated that a cow fed on Tomato vines,
will give more milk, and yield butter of a finer fla
vor, and in greater abundance, than any other food
ever tried. It is thought too, that more good food
for cattle and less expense, can be raised tiom a
given quantity of ground planted in Tomatos, than
from any other vegetable; kno em in a tlouthern
country.
SUICIDE.
The Pennsylvania Telegraph of the 30th ult. says:
"Late in the afternoon of Monday the 2lst ult. Mr.
Jacob liachenherger, a farmer of Londonderry
township, in this county, discovered a man on his
farm, about 300 yards below the railroad bridge
over the Conowago creek, very bloody, much swol
len, and apparently near dead. With the assis
tance of sonic neighbors, Mr. 11. had him removed
to his house, about half a mile from where the man
was found: a physician was sent for and restora
tives applied, but he died that night about twelve
o'clock.
The man was sensible when found, but refused
to state who he was or where he came from. He
was evidently an Irishman, and repeatedly said that
he had neither wife nor children, nor any connec
tions. He was about fifty years old, bald, and the
hair that was on head was black. He was rather
short, but stout built, and was dressed in a suit of
blue clothes, with a checked vest, black silk hat and
calf-skin boots. He had been let out of the after
noon train of cars going east, at his request, about
half a mile north of the bridge, and his trunk was
taken out at the railroad hotel at Elizabethtown,
about 4 miles below the bridge, which, on being
opened, was fouud to contain a considerable quan
tity of various kinds of clothing, a letter addressed
to Rice:tan Monoxst, New York, which is suppo
sed to have been the name of the deceased. When
found there lay by him a three bladed knife open,
with which it is presumed he cut the vein in his left
arm, which was served ; and from his swelling it
was supposed that he had also taken arsenic. On
being questioned, he stated that no ono had injured
him, but that he wanted to kill himself, for ho did
not wish to live. The sum of $36 52, a silver
watch and spectacles were found on his person,
which, together with his clothing, was entered in a
schedule in the presence of the neighbors of Mr.
Hachenberger; and the body was decently interred,
without the Itoldinz of an inquest, front the circum
stance that Esqr. Lynch, the only Justice of the
Peace in Londonderry township, and Esqr. Wal
born, of Middletown, wore both attending Court at
Harrisburg. The other Justice at Middletown de
clining to act, upon application being made to him.
The Warren (N. I.) Murder.
The 'Pennsylvania Telegraph of the 30th ult.
says Our readers cannot have forgotten the ex
traordinary case of murder, a few nsonths since, in
Warren county, N. J., when a whole family, con
sisting of John B. Parke, his sister and her husband,
John Castner, and their child, at the hour of mid
night, were barbarously butchered by the hand of the
assassin ; and a lad, named Jesse Force, living with
Mr. Castner, horribly 'wounded and doubtless loft
for dead. Circumstances seemed to fix suspicion
Upon Joseph Carter, Jun., who married a niece of
Mr. Parke. He was arrested, examined and com
mitted, and his trial commenced lust week at Belvi
dere, in the county where the murder was perpetra
ted. The evidence against him is understood to be
entirely circumstantial. At the opening of the trial,
on Monday, the prosecutqf of the county recapitu
lated the facts which will appear evidence. A cor
respondent of the Newark advertiser give some of
the points against the prisoner, A strong fact is
that Carter, before the murder, was very poor, there
being several executions against him in the hands
of the constables, to whom he declared that he had
no money, and that he did not know where to get
any, as he tried to borrow frequently ; but the next
day after the murder he paid one constable forty-five
dollars in Easton and Belvidere money, (such as
Mr. Parke was known to have in his possesaion,) and
within a few days after he had paid some three or
four other executions, amounting to near a hundred
dollars ; and at the funeral of the murdered family,
ho enquired of a person, who had his notes for fifty
dollars, if he had them with him, for he could pay a
part of them. Another ground taken was, that in
Isis examination he stated that he first beard of the
murder on Tuesday morning, between 8 and 0
o'clock—whereas he wrote a letter to a gentleman
near Easton bridge, with whom he had an appoint.
meta, saying that he could not.fulfil it on account of
the murder, which letter he left at the village of
Washington, to be sent very soon after sunrise on
Tuesday, and before the news of the murder had
reached there. There are five indictments against
him. The one upon which he is now being tried
is that for the murder of Castner. There arc some
fifty witnesses to be examined on the part of the
State, and the trial will doubtless occupy a week or
more.' "
Riot in Boston.
We learn from the Boston papers of the 28th
ult., that a serious riot occurred in Ann street, Boa.
ton, about 5 o'clock on Sunday evening. It ap
pears that a boatswain's mate of the U.S. ship Ohio,
was passing into Ann street from the North Square
in company with the boatswain of the U. S. Reve
nue Cutter Htunilton, and when they arrived opo-
site Henry Foreman's boarding house, the side walk
was so crowded with colored men, that they were
unable to pass without walking in the street. The
boatswain's mate of the U. S. ship Ohio, requested
the men not to block the sidewalk, when pushing
and lighting commenced, and the boatswain of the
cutter was stabbed in several places. Other sailors
came up, and the fight became general, and Fore
man, the keeper of the house, was badly hurt. The
first policemen on theNround found the whites driv
en from the house, a large party attacking it from
the street, by throwing clubs and stones at the
windows, and the fight going on about the doors, in
the midst of a crowd of several hundred persons.—
He caused the bell of Mr. Bobbin's church to be
rung as if for fire, and the firemen, who immedi
ately collected, formed an important assistance to
the police in suppressing the disturbance. Mr. Mar
shal Blake and numerous officers were seen on the
field, and the crowd were rapidly dispersed and the
streets about Foreman's house cleared. The boat
swain of the cutter was the only man who was
stabbed, although several persons were more or
less injured.
