What has become of Graham's Magazine? We
have not received a number of it fur the list three
months. Whose fault is it? Certainly not ours,
for we published the prospectus, which entitled ua
to the Magazine for the present year. We hope
Mr. Graham will see that justice is done.
cj.AN ADJOURNED COURT is to be held
for this county, commencing on the third Monday
(and 16th day) of June next, and to centinuc fur
two weeks, if the business is not sooner disposed of.
All the causes on the list for the April term, indis
posed of, are ordered for trial at the adjourned
court.
Hail Storm.
On Friday afternoon this place was visited 1•y a
terrible hail storm, accompanied with copious rain,
The hail stones were, some of them, as large as
hazel-nuts, and could be seen in heaps an hour after
the storm. We haae not heard of any very serious
damage done by the hail, but the leaves and blos
soms were knocked off the trees and scattered over
the ground in great profusion--and the early gar
dens were none the better of it.
ccr We are informed by the oldest inhabitant'
that the extract we published two weeks ago' from
the records of the Ventrable Society for the propaga
tion of the Gospel in foreign parts,' does not relate
to our Huntingdon; and that at the date given this
region of country was yet a wilderness' beyond
• the remotest parts of the West.' The extract is
nevertheless, interesting.
Ton TOO ...TOLIMA,"
Friend Cremer:—Permit me, through the col
limns of your paper, nrannounce to the citizens of '
this place, the arrival of that young and eminent
artist Mr. J. WILSON. He has taken rooms at
Mr A. Hall's Temperance House, where he can be
men at any time duringliiirstay. He has with bins
■ number of specimen portraits and sketches, which
can also be seen at his rooms. Mr. Wilson was
much pleased with the encouragement he received
on his first visit to our place, and I hope any person
now wishing to have a correct likeness will honor
him with a call. Encourage native talent and
home industry.

An Awful Death.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of Vilednesdny last
says:—" On Thursday afternoon lest, as the great
omnibus was coming up Market street, filled with
passengers from the railroad depot, to the Cumber
land Valley railroad, on the other aide of the river,
a young man named Moses I...Clossen, a cabinet
maker by trade, ran out of Mr. Stahl's tavern and
attempted to climb up to the drivers sent, but his
hold slipping, he fell and both wheels of the omni
bus passed over his body, so crushing him that he
was taken up senseless and died in a few minutes.
He is said to have been intoxicated.
We regret to learn the death of Mr. Cunning
ham, a representative in our legislature from Beaver
county; on his way home. He died on board one
of the canal packets near Johnstown.
THE FISH. -It seems that the mortality among
the fish, which visited our shores a short time since.
is extending Southward. The Picyune says: A
goad deal of speculation is indulged in as to the
cause of the mortality among the fish at the New
Basin and in the Canal. There are thousands of
dead fish floating upon the surface. It is worthy
the attention of naturalists to investigate the
aide."
lowa Election,
We have received a slip from the office of the
lowa Standard, which contains a glorification at the
success of the Whigs in electing, in Johnson coun
ty, the candidate for the Legislature, Hugh D.
Downey, Esq. This is the first time the Whigs
ever succeeded in that county. There seems to ho

terday, (Sunday) about quarter past 12 o'clock,
when most of our inhabitants were attending divine
service in their respective places of worsip, their
devotions were interrupted by an alarm of fire.
The various congregations immediately ran into
the streets, when it was discovered that the Rob
inson Hall' hotel was on fire, which was soon con
sumed, together with a number of Merchants'
shops and warehouses on the opposite side of Dun
' das street, all of which, except the corner one, had
been erected since the last fire. The wind blow
ing a stiff gale from the N. W. by N., and every
thing as dry as tinder; it was at the same time
raging with indiscribable fury to leeward, sweeping
in its progress to the South the width of one block
and making inroads into two others.
It was found impossible to stay its progress until
it had laid waste four blocks, and part of three
others, containing an area, the principal part of
which was closely built, of nearly thirty acres of
ground. The loss is very heavy.

The Natchez Courier of the 16th has the fol.
lowing paragraphs:
SETTLY.III}OWIC AT LAST. --The Hon. Robert J.
Walker, whom residence has for so many years
been an enigma to creditors and others, has at last,
wo presume, come to an anchor. He is compelled,
at last to own a residence in Washington, D. C.,
and can doubtless be found there a portion of the
time at least, at the office of tho Secretary of the
Treasury, by Sheriffs, Constables and others who
may decree to see bun.
°ls the present incumbent to retain his situation
as Post Master of this city ?" is a question frequent
ly asked. Why certainly he is. When oar late
Honourable Senator, now Secretary of the Treasury,
Walker, was last in Natchez, didn't he sup with .
the Post Master? and wasn't he arrested by the
Sheriff, in the Post master's Parlour, for some little
debt he had pledged his honor several times, very
solemnly, to pay, which pledges he had, as in nu
merous similar instances, neglected to fulfill And
didn't the Post Master write a very indignant let
! ter to the Sheriff, accusing him of violating the
sanctity of a private dwelling, fur having thus cau
sed, in strict accordance with his sworn duty. the
laws to be executed? If this chivalrous feat of the
Post Master, as champion of the Secretary of the
Treasury does not retain hint his office what can
j be the use for a man longer to make sucrOcea for
democracy."

HAnntsnuno, MAncit 12, 1845,
GOICTLEMEN have received your note of this
date, in which you ask my answer to questions
touching certain points of nations! policy. Your
position as members of the body to which the con
stitution has confided the election of the representa
tives of the State in the Senate of the United States,
authorizes you to propound these questions, and
in my opinion requires that I .should frankly an
swer them. I have no difficulty in making my ,
reply.
On the subjects to which they refer, I have long
since matured and avowed my opinions. During
the recent presidential election the tariff of 1842
was much discussed. The democratic party of this
state took a decided stand in favor of this measure.
The leading interest of the state are involved in
its preservation. The people without distinction
of party, concur in desiring that its provisions
should remain unaltered, and regard any attempt to
change them as hazardous to the interests of Amer
ican industry. Supported by the democratic party
of the state in my views, and feeling the importance
of the measuro to Pennsylvania, I have no hesita
tion in declaring that I am in favor of the tariff of
1802, and if elected to the senate of the U.S. I will
sustain it without change.
The arnonnt received into the treabury from the
public lands will not for many years be of much im
portance. Whether the proceeds of such sales
should he distributed among the states, is a question
that in my opinion will not for a long period be of
much practical moment. 'rho patio lands are hold
in trust, however, for the benefit of all the states.—
In my apprehension the bost application that this state
can make of her share in that trust, would be its em
ployment in the discharge of the state debts. I am,
therefore in favor of the distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands, and if elected will support that
measure.
The failure of the democratic members of the
legislature to unite on a candidate, may have in
duced your desire to learn the sentiments of the
various gentlemen placed in nomination. This re
ply is merely a repetition of long entertained and
often expressed sentiments. They are given with
out reserve, and in a spirit of frankness, which I de
sire always to charecterize my conduct.
I have the honor to he,
with much respect,

A ROIII7S CArortr.-A man named John Demer,
was arrested in this borough on Saturday last, charg
ed with robbing a trunk belonging to a merchant in
Northumberland county, last fall, of the sum of
$560. Suspicion rested on him as being the their,
at the time, and he was arrested, but was discharg
ed for want of sufficient evidence to convict him.—
He removed to this place about a week previous to
his arrest, and purchased largely at a sheriff's sale ,
of a stock of merchandise, at the court house last
week. The gentleman who had lost the money,
confident of his guilt, sent an individual after hint I
to watch his movements. This person seeing hint
pay the cash for the' articles purchased at the sale,
wrote to the gentleman whetted lost the money, who
arrived here on Saturday last and had hint arrested.
Demer confessed that he had taken the money, and
gave up bet wren $250 and $3OO, and all the goods
he had purchased. lie left on Sneday morning for
Northumerland, in custody of an officer, where he
will be tried for the offence. Amongst the money
given up by him there were several $5O notes on
the Northumberlandp ask, the same which had been
taken front the trunk, notwithstanding, he had been
to St. Louis since the commission of the theft, and
had various opportunities of exchanging them for
other money, without the most rernotq l chance of
detection.—Lervislou?n Gazette.

HIOII HANDED OUTRAGE-WRIT OF HABEVS
Cotters SCOPENOYD.—The Legislature of South
Carolina, at their late session, passed a law en-
acting:—
'flat no negro or free person of color, who shall
enter this state on board of any vessel, as cook,
steward, or mariner, or in any other employment on
board such vessel, and who shall be apprehended
and confined by any sheriff, in pursuance of the
provisions of said act, shall be entitled to the writ
of mast's CORMS."
The Constitution of the United States, sec. 9.,
declares :
"'no writ of Weiss co pus shall notbc suspen
ded, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion,
the public safety may require it."
South Carolina thus, in another instance, says
the N. Y. Express, sets at defiance the Constitution
of the United States, and abolishes the great lead
ing feature of American liberty. The writ of
hams corpus has been allowed in that S tate, ever
since the reign of Charles the second. This is the
State whose leaders and rulers tell Europe, and the
civilized world that they wish to acquire Texas in.
"order to extend the area of freedom!" It can
hardly excite Wonder that the Iblassachusetts press
I should begin to talk of measures of retaliation.
Mitrxrusx.—The Bangor ‘N big says that the
most revolting practices are resorted to by the Mil
!crime in that neighborhood. Similar scenes, it is
said, are enacted in New York. The Whig says
they have a method „ of expressing joy by shout
ing and swinging of the arms and clapping attends.
There is the holy dance practiced and the holy
laugh. Frequent baptisms are observed—some at
midnight, and some personal. The latter has re
cently been performed by certain worthy and highly
accomplished young women, jumping and rolling
in the pools of water by the road-side. Little chil
dren have been seized and carried oat into the night
air and plunged into a neighboring brook. Various
means aro resorted to for the purpose of making
sacrifice.. One woman took her china tea•st•t and
broke it into small pieces. As a general thing,
they refrain front labor, and dispose of their pro
perty, apparently without thought of its value, or
the labor and pains-taking it demanded to collect it.
They consume their fences for fuel —have no regard
to regular hours of refreshment or rest. And fur
all these things they think they have the command
of God."

At a meeting of the citizens of the borough of

appointed Secretary—after some remarks and en
interchange of opinion on the sullied by the gen
tlemen.present, the following preamble and resolu
tions were offered by William Orbison, and unani
mously adopted.
WHEREAS, In the dispensation of an all-wise
Providence the city of Pittsburg has recently been
visited with the desolating scourge of fire, by which
many of its inhabitants, who were in the enjoy
' ment of a well-earned competency of the necessa
ries and comforts of life, have been suddenly redu
ced to poverty and' thrown upon the charity and be
nevolence of their more fortunate neighbor..
Resolved That we deeply sympathise with the'
sufferers By the conflagration referred to, who have
thus in a moment been deprived of their houses,
their homes, and•in many instances of their earthly
all.
Resolired; That, inasmuch as our warmest syth=
pathsos unaccompanied with something more sub
stantial, mill lie utterly unavailing, we feel it to be
our duty to contribute of the means which a kind
Providence has afforded us, to aid in alleviating the
distresses of our afflicted fellow-citizens.
Resofred, That for the purpose of accomplishing
the obleet proposes o committee of four gentlemen
he appointed to solicit and receive contributions.
from tire citizens of Huntingdon and the vicinity,
to be remitted to such persons as may be designated
by the city of Pittsburg to receive and distribute
the same.
Whereupon David Blair, William P. Orbison,

scription on Messrs. Griffin's, Rice's, Clayton's and

corner, was also destroyed, leaving only a new stable
on his lot. They all succeeded in saving the grea
ter part of their goods, except Mr. Griffin and Dr.
Webb; they saved nothing—not even their papers.
I believe, however, that Mr. Griffin has saved part
of his books, but lost all his papers. Mr. Rice has
lost moat ell his goods. Messrs. Clayton and Ben
son saved the principal part of their goods and fur

0:::? From the Pittsburg Age" of the 19th inst.,
we perceive that a large number of contracts have
already been entered into, for the re-building of
houses, &c., in that city. Messrs. Lyon, Shorts &
Co. have contracted fcr 5 new buildings; W.
Holmes & Co., 2; A. Fulton, 4 ; G. A. Bayard,
one block extending from Front to Water street,
on Smithfield; E. Upstill and J. Euwart, 6 ware
houses; B. C. Sawyer. 3; W. Hays, Esq. 7; N.
Holmes, 2 ; Dr. Hermit, 2; J. Duncan and T.
Simmons, 3; A. Jaynes, 5. Contracts are also en
tered into to re-build some half a dozen manufacto
ries, Foundries, &c., with many dwelling houses.
Of course the above is but a partial list, (says
the Age,) a complete one cannot be expected at
present. Enough is known, however. to enable us
to say that the entire burnt district" will be re
built in a very short space of time.
Ecuesss.—A correspondent of the Boston Dai

„ On the morning of Tuesday, the 6th of May,
the Sun, throughout New Poundland, Lower Can
ada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New England,
New York. New Jersey, and in the eastern part of
Pennsylvania, will rise partially eclipsed by the
Moon. A partial eclipse will also be seen in the
greater part of Europe and Asia; but the eclipse
will be central only within the Arctic circle. At
no city in America will the beginning of the eclipse
be visible, and greatest obscuration only in New
Foundland, Prince Edward's, Cape Breton, and
part of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In
Boston, the eclipse will end about 23 minutes after
sunrise; in New York about I t minutes, and in
Philadelphia about 6; but ut Washington and all
other places west and south thereof, the eclipse will
end before the sun is above the horizon."

[Extract from a London paperl
We're not ourselves,
When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind'
To suffer with the body."
This is a truism conceived by the master mind;
of Shatespeare, which neither sophistry nor argu ,
ment can require. To all those who are suffering
from bilious attacks, indigestion and flatulency, We'
would with great sincerity recommend, as a never
failing remedy Brandreth's Pills. The testimony
we have had submitted to us in favor of this admi—
rable medicine, fully justify our speaking of these'
Pills in terms of the highest praise. .

been used with undeviating success, and hundreds
acknowledge they owe the restoration of th . eir health.
to this invaluable medicine alone. in that form or
consumption so prevalent among delicate young'
females, commonly termed debility, or " going into.
a decline," a complaint with which thousands are
lingering, it• hot also proved highly successful, and
not only possesses the power of checking the pro. ,
great of this alarming complaint, but also strength
ens and invigorates the system more effectually than
any medicine we have ever possessed. Besides its
surprising efficacy in consumption, it is equally eft*,
carious in influenza, liver complaint, asthma, brim-'
chitis, and all affections of the lungs.and has cured
many of the most obstinate cases, after every other
remedy has failed.
