    Arrival of the Hibernia.
LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM tUROPE,
BOSTON, August 3d, 1896.
The Hibernia was telegraphed at an
early hour this morning. She brings to
the United States the Oregon Treaty rati
fied by the British Government, under the
seal of the new Foreign Minister, Lord
Palmerston.
This document was signed by his Lord
ship and Mr. McLane on the 17th ult. at
the Foreign Office, and afterwards convey
en for despatch by the Hibernia by his
Excellency Mr. McLane, the American
Minister Co Great Britain.
' In the House of Lords, on the I7th of
July the Marques of Lansdowne rose and
said that It was his duty to lay before their
Lordships and that House, the Treaty
which had just concluded between her Ma
jesty and the Government of the United
States in reference to the Oregon Territo
ry. He had the satisfaction of informing
their Lordships that ratifications had that
day been exchanged. . .
A similar motion was made in the House
of Commons by Lord Palmerston, who
appeared at the Bar and stated that he
had a paper to present by command of her
Majesty.
The new ministry has got to work, and
the business of the country is again in a
state of progression. All the members
have been• returned without Opposition ex
cept Mr. Macauly and Lord Ebington.
In every quarter a disposition exists to
give the new appointments a fair trial—
ln consequence of the excitement now
passed, the country needs repose, and
with the exception of the Sugar duties,
there is no prominent question likely to
embarrass the ministry, or test their capa
bility.
The affitirs'of this session of Parliament
will be wound' up probably by the middle
of August. The great movement to reitn.
Nurse Mr. Co!den for his loss of health
and money, is progressing apace. There
seems every chance that the hundred thou
sand pounds fixed upon as the maximum
Of the amount to be given to him, will be
'raised.
Efforts will be made to raise a spl► mild
Monument to Sir Robert Peel, by means
of penny subscriptions throughout the
British empire, as an expression of the
nation's gratitude.
PAREJAMENT:
The proceeding in the House of Par
liament possess considerable interest.—
Lord Brougham led to the assault in the
inatter of the Judges Salaries.
Earl Gery shun ed that if blame attach.
ed to any one, it Was to the Lord himself'.
Mr. Doncombe wished to hear from the
noble Lord himself a distinct avowal of his
V \ iews on the leading topics of the day.
Lord John Russell declined this categor•
kat analyses, but while doing so, said suf
kicient to paint the morale of his future
oreeras Minister, to the principles of Free
Trade, to which he avowed his unswerving
attachment. Justice he would literally
carry out; but with respect to the kstab
fished Church in the country, the Premier
thought it imprudent to meddle in this ear
ly stage of the business.
The same evening, Lord John Russell
declared that lie would make his views
respecting the sugar duties known on Mon-
COMMERCIAL.
The Manufacturing districts are busy,
and confidence prevails. The season con.
tinues all that w•e could desire.
The Cotton market is firm, with good
btehdy business, and prices hate an up-
Ward tendency. The latest arrivals from
the United States show that the last crop
Will not exceed 2,100,000 bales and that
the prospects of the crops for the !present
•ear owing to the lateness of the spring,
and not particularly promising.
4 The timber trade is in a most flourish
- log condition.
Frotti the Army.
We have a little later mteligence from
the army. The steamship Fashion arrived
at New Orleans from Brazos on the 25th
ult. She brings verbal reports that there
was a geueral movement of the troops up
the Rio Grande.
Gen. Taylor remained at Matamoros,
sending troops forward as last as his means
of transporting them would allow:
Advices had arrived of the taking of Ca.
tnargo without firing a shot. When the
U. S. troops arrived at that place Carra
jabal was on the opposite side of the river
St, Juan, but offered no resistance.
Oen. Taylor had received advices by
scbuts that there were only about SOO
troops in Monterey.
The general impression was that there
would be no resistance of erect to the U.
S. troops this side of that city on account
of the quietude of the enemy.
The Impression is also gaining ground
in the army that negotiations for a peace
are in progress.
It was said that Paredes was afraid to
leave the capital on account of suspected
attempts at revolution in his:absence.
• There was a report that !Or. Lumsden,
of the Picayeue, together with his party,
had been cut olf by the Indians, but it was
not generally credited.
The volunteers were still suffering from
diarrhoea, but otherwise enjoyed good
health.

TILE REPORTS IN RELATION TO Mexico The
Washington Union in noticing the reports of,pro
pose's for peace from Mexico, &c., says :—Wo aro
not advised that any messenger has arrived from
Mexico, or that any overture has been made by hcr
to the government at Washington. What prospect
there may be for peace. and at what period it may
be effected, we cannot undertake, to conjecture;
though it lii certain that the President .wilt make
good his repeated declarations :J conclude a peace,
as soon di he can do eb coneistently with the rights . ,
of the United States. if we wish to obtain peace,
and to secure the objects of the war, we must talk
less and do . more. We most prosecute the war
with all ti e r energies. We must see our smaller .
vesselli, which draw less water, arriving on the coast
of Mexico, to which they are destined in the gulf,
to blockade the smaller ports, to seize their small
towns, shd cut off every artery of their commerce.
Tho Mei l icans must see their ports in California
seized arid occupied by our squadron and our troops.
We must strike other blows at the Mexican strong
holds, and their troops, if they will oncc more re
main in the field lo measure weapons with us.—
When Santa Fe, and Coahuila, and Monterey aro
taken, or about to be taken, by our various detach
ments, and Mexico can see nothing but commercial
distraint in her sea-coast—When she zees California
about to bo lost to her, and her strongest places in
Upper Mexico about to bo occdpied by our arms,
she may begin to calculate the costs or the War, and
to manifest a more decided disposition to make
peace with us by a direct negotiation. But, we re
peat, the beat way to secure a peace isnot by talking
too much of its attainment. We mist advance
into her country, satisfy her people by our kind
treatment that we do not go among them to plun
der their property, to abuse their religion, or to vici
late their liberties; but that so long as her govern
ment refuses us justice, war--energetic,
.continued
war—is to be the redline of her people. It is in
this way only that we are to obtain a Betided and
permanent peace.
GEN. SCOTT.--SOMO of the Canada papera are
copying with much gusto, the attacks of some of
our Locofoco papers upon Gen. Suitt. The De•
troll Advertiser says:
..These Britons bitterly remember Lundy's Lone;
Chippewa and Fort Brie, and they are delighted
to find Americans abusing and blackguarding the
heroes who there struck down tho British flog."
This may be natural enough for some of the baser
sort of Britains and renegades in Canada, though
it will be despised by tho more gallant spirits even
there; but what shall we say of men on American
soil, claiming to be Americans, within sight of some
of the most renowned fields of American valor, who
like a pack of hounds or sneaking, cowardly wolves,
attempt to hunt dawn a man whose whole life has
been consecrated to the service of his country, and
whose achievements both in war and peace, illu
mine many of the brightest pages in our nation's
history. Tho gallant soldier has been caught in
the toils of mousing wily politicians, but they may
push the matter too far. The people aro generous
as well as just.—Briffalo Corn.
Every man of sense in our ranks must see the
selfish and sordid considerations that aro now mo
ving the Whig leaders. They invite us to join
them to show our attachment to the Tariff. Have
tee riot shown it already . 1
Who doubts but that the Democracy have shown
thelr attachment to the Protective policy already?
They have shown a love for it quite as strong as
that usually exhibited by a bear, when in possession
of its victith—hugged it until the vital spark has
fre&
GEn. Scorr.—Gen. Scott has been
quite indisposed fora tew days; but has re
covered sufficiently to be abotit. The
Washington correSpoittlent of the 11. Y.
Tribune says, ..1 said some tittle ago that
the predictions and calculations he made
about the Mexican war would all turn out
tilts. I atn now certain that this will be
the case; though the General was ridiculed
by a lot of Military gr'eenliorhs, tor calcu
lations on so late an invasion of Medico,
times and facts will prove the foresight
and the wisdom of this brave and distin
guished soldier. The panders and Syco
phants or power have laughed, as they
supposed over his grave. He still Bes
in the hearts of his countrymen.
FROM rise CAMP.—We understand
says the Washington Union, that the thir
teen small steamers have ascended the Rio
Grande, and arrived at Matamoros, for the
ttansportotion of Gen. Taylor's troops;
and that four more are expected—two
from Charleston and two from Philadel.
phia. A letter from Mr. Whiting to the
Quartermaster General; in this city, has
just been teemed from Matamoros, da
ted July 17th, which says s—'One of the
boats which went up to Camargo, returned
this day. She reached there without much
difficulty—not more than is encountered
below this. The troops on board of her
took quiet possession."
THUNDER STonst.—There was a terrific
thunder storm at Chambersburg on Wed-
nesday last, during which, William Wad
dles, Esq, of Mercersburg was killed.—
Several buildings were struck by lightning,
and a number of persons were struck
down and seriously injured.
DIED.
In this borough, on Thursday morning the 6th
instant, JOHN PEEBLES CARMON, (Printer)
agcd 21 years, 6 months and 25 days.
The deceased was the only son of his mother;
and she a widow." Being in delicate health ft om
early childhood, and left without tho care and pro
tection of a father, he Bras nurtured by a fond mother
like a tender plant; but that insidious destroyer,'
Consumption, preyed upon him, painting the rain
bow hues of promise and hope before him, until ho
had marked him for his own. In his feebleness,
however, the sufferer awakened to the reality of his
situation, and hurled his thoughts from the world
and its vanities, and fixed his affections upon higher
objects; and at length parted in pence, welcoming
Death with a serenity and joy, in tho comfortable
hope of the resurrection to eternal life, and the en
joyment of the blessed promises of the Gospel, in
the world beyond the grave. To his bereaved
parent and relatives and friends It is consoling to
feel that their loss is Isis gain.

That rendet.s it in most cases unnecessary
to extract Teeth, cvcn when they become
painful.

EDE f, STACKING,
PhURGEON DENTIST, would announce
to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Hunt
ingdon, that he has taken Rooms at the re
sidence of Mrs. elm k, where he will be
pleased to offer his professidnal setvices for a
few clays only.
He has the pleasure of saying that after
much expense and scientific research;, he
has obtained the long sought for, and riich
desired desideratum with the Dental Prd
fession, viz:
THE LITHODEON.
Which is a substance suitable for filling teeth
which are too far gone by decay to admit of their
being filled with gold, silver, or any other hard sub
stance. The principal advantages that this has over
all other substance is, it being of the consistency of
paste, is easily introduced into all the irregularities
of the cavities without producing the least pain,
and thbn moulded so as to give the tooth its origi
nal form, In the course of a few hours it becomes
hard like stone r and will remain firm and incorrup
tible--preventing further decay--restoring the tooth
to its lost usefulness in Masticating food.
Dr. S. has also the pleasthe of saying that he has
discovered an
A.NODVIVE
. r
That will immediately allay the Most violent
tooth ache, and distroy the nerve of the tooth with
oin producing the least pain. This is also a valua
ble discovery, inasmuch as all the preparations hith
erto resorted to for the purpose of destroying the vi
tality of LIM nerve, have produced the Most excru
ciating pain for at least ten or fifteen hours. Most
of the teeth that aro usually extracted may be savr
ed by .first killing the nerve, after which they may
be filled.
