life be a feast, the amount of satisfaction to be deri

swallowing the viands hastily, and by having a free

Distressing Accident.
On Saturday last a young man named CURVE.
TIAN DECKER met with a most distressing accident,
near this place, while shooting at ducks with a pis
tol. We are informed that he pulled the trigger
several times without effect, after which he was
putting the pistol into his pocket, and while in the
act, the load was discharged, entering the palm of
the left hand, shattering and tearing it to fragments.
The hand was amputated, above the wrist, by Dr.
.1. B. LVDEN of this borough.
Temperance.
The Rev. T. P. HUNT delivered Temperance
Addresses to large assemblages of ladies and gen

Triumph of Mob Law.
A GovEr man INTIMIDATED.--A mob has been
at work in Madison county, Indiana. The armed
gang of lawless ruffians, banded together by solemn
oaths of mutual protection, threatened not only to
demolish the county jail, but to assault the judge
and Lynch the jury, unless one of their convicted
companions was immediately pardoned by the Gov
ernor. 'We regret to say that their threats have
had the desired effect upon his Excellency—he has
granted an unconditional pardon to Reynolds, the
robber.
What the Tariff has Done I
The Whig principle of protection has made us
exporters instead of importers of manufactured cot.
tuns—exporters instead of importers of calicoes—
exporters instead of importers of mixed cloths—
and importers instead of exporters of SPECIE.—
Why, then, should hard money men oppose a Pro
tective Tariff ?
La Odd Case.
The Pittsburg Sun relates the story of a German
who stole a pitchfork from his neighbor Mr. W.
The owner of thefork at length found it and threat-
ened Hans with the law. Hans was frightened.
Mr. W. gave him hie choice, to go with his bless
ing to the chain gang, or take fifty lashes. He
chose the latter, and Mr. W. administered them.
Hans goes straightway to the magistrate, and pros
ecutes W. for assault and battery with intent to kill,
and W. in his turn prosecutes Hans for theft! Both
were retuired to give security, and bound to ap
pear as witnesses against each ether.

Esq., feloniously and burglariously did break and
enter wills intent the goods and chattels of the said
William Orbison, Esq. to steal take and carry away.
The second count charged that the defendant did as
above stated break and enter the said dwelling house
and steal three American half dollars and a five
frank piece, the property of the said William Orbi
son, Esq. The Commonwealth made out a strong
case, by a closely connected chain of circumstances,
substantially the same that we noticed in announcing
the burglary. The jury found the defendant guil

year's imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary.—

There were also two cases of surety of the
Peace heard and disposed of by the Court.
As will appear from the above, there was an un
usual amount of Commonwealth business, which
occupied the time and attention of the Court until
Friday afternoon. The Grand Jurors were dischar
ged on Thursday.
A Sign.
The Globe contains an article signed 'Elias
Ellis,' in which the writer urges the propriety of
abandoning Mr. Van Buren, as the Loco Foco can
didate for President, and taking up Gen. Case.
Col. IL M. Johnston, too, it is contended, 'is s tronger
at this time than Van Buren, and would command
more votes among the people.' A strange article
to appear in the Globe, which is the great Van
Iluren organ.
The Ladies' National Magazine.
The December number of this highly popular
and interesting work is before us. It is adorned
with three splendid engravings and the usual plate
of fashions. " The Swiss Girl," is ono of A. L.
Dick's most happy efforts. "The Toilette," a beau
tifu I vignette title page, represents a sweet looking
girl dressing her hair—it is designed expressly for
this work, and engraved by G. B. Ellis.
"Embroidery and Embossed Birds," designed,
engraved and colored especially for this work, by F.
Quorre, Esq.
Fashions for December, representing the latest
style for cloaks, hats, and winter costumes, beauti
fully colored.
For dresses green, brown and blue are favorite
colors.
From the number before int we extract the follow
ing poetical effusion:
THE SWISS GIRL
She stands among her native hills,
But from her azure eyes
The sad and patient soul looks out
As twilight in the skies.
She thinks not of her native cot,
Or sheep-fold in the vale,
Of merry sisters round the hearth,
When beats the wintry hail.
They any she daily climbs the height,
To muse and look alone,
O'er winding vale and snowy hill
Toward the far-off Rhone !
For there her lover toils for wealth
In plains of gay Champaigne,—
It is her dream to see him first
When he returns again.
Dream on !—for faithful to his vow,
He nightly turns his eyes
To where the faint but rosy east
Tel!sof his Alpine skies.
Dream on !—he longs for thee sweet girl,
As ring-dove for his nest,
And soon the wand'rer shall return
To love, and home, and rest!
The next number of the Ladies' National Maga
zine will commence a new volume. We will give
the prospectus in our next.
cc7•The venerable Col. Jolts Timm sur.L, one o
the links between the past and present, who was the
last survivor of Washington's military family, died
in New York on the 10th inst., full of honors, at
the advanced age of 87. He was Aid-de-camp to
the Father of his country, and has become celebrated
for his historical paintings—particularly that of the
Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Ho
will be interred at N. Haven, by the side of the wife
of his youth. Tho grav , . of John Trumbull and
Noah Webster will almost render New Haven a
place of pious pilgrimage.
New York Election.
The Newark Advertiser condenses a few inter
-5104g kVit in relationg eaettlin to r tkri recent t citTnitn in
majority of some 16 or 18,00 for the Van Buren
party. The whole vote is very small, not more then
is 360,000, or near 100,000 lees than 1840. It said
that not more than three fourths of the whigs went
to the polls. the Assembly will stand about the same
as last year-94 Locos and 36 Whigs. The Locos
elect 8 of the 9 Senators, (a loss of 4 to the Whigs)
so that the Senate will stand 26 to 5, an increased
majority. The Abolitionists increased their vote
to 20,000 in the State. The Native Americans
polled 8,295 in the city, the 11th ward alono•giving
1120. The Whigs of the State do not appear to
have deemed the occasion important enough to
call out their strength.
Mr. brigennan.
Tho Hon. T. M. T. M'Kennan, of Washington
county, having been named by many of his friends
as the candidate, of the Whig party, for Governor
in 1844, the Washington Reporter has put forth
Ithe following paragtaph, by which it appears that he
could not, if selected, be prevailed on to accept the
nomination.
Mu. M'KsirsArr, of our own county, is a great
favorite, and is considered decidedly the most popu
lay man named. If he would permit himself to be
run, wo have no doubt he would be the strongest
man, in every respect that could be selected by the
Whigs. But we fear he cannot be prevailed upon
to give his consent. He has an insurmountable re
pugnance to public life, and most assiduously courts
retirement and the sweets of domestic seclusion.—
Office bas no temptation for him. His home, and
his profession, at the head of which he stands, so en
tirely engross his attention, that we think it likely
that he could not he induced, for any consideration
whatever, to abandon them, even with the certainty
of obtaining the Chief Executive office of the
Commouwealth.
Most Daring Contempt of Court.
On Wednesday last, Hugh B. Orr, was convic
ted of burglary, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer
of this county, and sentenced to four year's impris
onment in the Western Penitentiary. On Thurs
day morning about day-break, the convict made his
escape from the jail, through a hole which he picked
through the wall after a whole night's hard labor—
leaving
behind himhis hat and boots. Sheriff Shaver
immediately offered a reward for the apprehension of
the burglar now in the enjoyment of the "largest liber
ty ;" but nothing was again heard of him till Friday,
when it was discovered that he had returned to pay
our town a visit the previous night, when and where
he stole His Honor Judge Wilson's hat, and also
left one of our brothers of the bar minus a pair of
boots, with which he made HONORABLE TRACKS to
"parts unknown." A fair exchange, says an old
maxim, is no robbery, and the refugee, in view of
this, loft just as good a hat and boots at his late res
idence, the jail of Huntingdon county, which hat
and boots are said to fit the persons with whom he
"swapped" exactly.
Orr is a polished and scientific fellow, and under
the cover of Jndge Wilson, and with the under
standing of Attorney Blair, he can probably get to
Texas, or some other fit place, without detection,
where he no doubt can get a Judge's commission—
if he cannot steal ene on his way there—and be
come a respectable citizen of the " Infant Republic."
Amount of Treasury Notes outstanding on tho
I .t inst., $4,319,074 70.
Whig Liberality.
It is a common saying, says the York Republi
can, for the Locofocos to charge illiberality upon
the Whigs; but we thing that we know of an in
stance which will refute the accusation. Col.
RICHARD M. Jo: maw!, L ocofoco aspirant to the
Presidency, and beyond all question the second, if
not—and we think he is—the first choice of his
party in Pennsylvania, is now on a tour which it
might be truo,if not generous,to style Electioneering,
through some of the States. He was in Philadel
adelphia on Friday, but previous to reaching that
city he had been as far 'down East' as to Vermont.
There he was hospitable received, and at the capitol
of the State was handsomely treated, by the Whig
authorities and the Legislature then in session.—
He was greeted by an address from Gov. MATTOCKS
—an honest, upright and clear-headed old gentle
man who, after serving eight sessions in Congress,
declined a re-election and bragged that he had nev
er made a speech in that body. His welcome to
Col. JOHNSTON, however, shows that he can speak
to a good purpose, and although in our view, some
what eulogistic of the so-called Tecumseh-killer,
we copy it as well to show how willing Whigs are
to do even more than justice to persons who have
really 'done the state some service,' as for the
sake of the rebuke which it gives to the slanderers
of Gen HARRISON. The more Gov. MATTOCKS'
brief address is read, the more beauties it will be
found to contain. Here it is:—
COI JOHNSTON Sin—in behalf of the Legisla
ture of Vermont, and in the name of the entire
population of this honest little State, I bid you
welcome to this their Capitol.
Sir, you are a Statesman and a Soldier. At the
Thames you led a charge with a dashing gallantry
that has never, never been surpassed. You have
fought and bled—aye, bled—in Freedom's cause.
You are brave and generous to a proverb. Can
there be any higher praise? There can: you vin
dicated the honor of your fellow citizen and your
General when some who knew him not essayed to
tarnish the military fame of that hero, now, alas!
no more.
Magnanimous man ! again I sy, welcome, thrice
welcome, here amid the descendants of the Green
Mauntain Boys.
Please to pardon, sir, the conciseness of this ad
dress, for I am an old man of few words, but sin
cere."
The Election inf Massachusetts:
NO GOVERNOR BY THE PEOPLE.
We are indebted to the Boston Atlas for the
election returns of that state. In the city, the
Whigs have nearly 2000 majority. The result for
Governor in all the four towns, is thus :
Briggs, the Whig candidate, has 57,069
That Marcus Morton has 52,770
Making Mr. Briggs' majorty over Morton 4,299
For all other candidates than Mr. Briggs,
there are 61,625
For Mr. Briggs, there are 57,066
Leaving the majority of other votes
against Mr. Briggs, 4,556
For all other candidates than Morton, there
are - 65,924
For Morton, there are 52,790
Leaving the majority against Morton 13,154
According to the Atlas, twelve whigs are elected
to the Senate, namely in Suffolk, Hampshire,
Franklin, Barstable, and Nantucket and Dukes—
and 7 Democrats, viz: in Hampden, Berkshire, and
Bristol.
The Representatives are as follows-153 Whigs,
109 Democrats, and 137 no choice--against 176
Whigs, 176 Democrats, and 56 "no choice" last
year.
The Atlas says that Mr. Grinnell, the Whig can
didate for Congress for the tenth district, is elected
by a clear majority of 636 votes.
The Atlas, in the extra, containing the above
news, issued at half past 1 o'clock, says:
Thus it will be seen that, up to the moment of
preparing this Postcript, there is a Whig majority
of FIVE in the Senate Board, and a Whig majority
of FORTY-POUR in the next House of Representa
tives. Of the towns that have not chosen, many
have voted not to send—and many have no right to
send, having exhausted their constitutional right to
be represented.
If the Whigs towns that have yet a right to
choose Representatives, will only do their duty in
this respect, there is no fear but that the Common
wealth will be placed in the hands of those whom
the People may safely trust, and who will adminis
ter her public affairs according to the counsels of
prudence, integrity and patriotism. LET THEM no
Tama DUTY."
The Confession of Storech---The
Murderer of Mrs. Horn,
Further particulars of the confession of John
Storech, who recently committed suicide, are given
in the Baltimore Sun. It seems that on a certain
occasion, he confessed the knowledge of the murder
to his wife ; and on the following day, he detailed
the whole affair to Justice Bushey, He stated that
one night, a short time after the murder of Mrs.
Horn, he called at Horn's house, and sat down by
the stove; after a little Horn came and sat by him,
and said, "Storech, I'm in a good deal of trouble,
and I want to tell somebody about it." Horn then
having a German bible in his hand, asked Storech
to swear that he would never tell anybody, and he
would confide in him. Storech consented, and
then, in his own words, " Horn swore him an oath
on the bible, as hard as he could swear." Horn
then told him, that one night, (supposed to be the
23d of March,) after he and his wife had been some
time in bed, Melinda got up and went down stairs,
and staying longer than Horn could account for, he
went down after her, and found her on the front
porch talking to a young man named Franklin
Rhinehart ; that he then took the fire shovel, and
(it is presumed after Rhinehart left, if the tale be
true,) beat her with it and killed her." Upon this
statement Storech asked him what he had done with
the body, and Horn replied, " Oh, don't trouble
yourself about that; I've put that away all right."--
A day or two after this confession Storech commit
ted suicide by cutting his throat.
Mr. Crawford the newly elected Governor of
Cleo., was installed into office on the Bth inst.
