SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-The Pa. Intelligencer
saes Ratt.r, eldest son of Dr, L. Polly
of our borough, lost his left arm on Friday last
by the accidental discharge of a gun. He was
out on a hunting excursion, accompanied with
Lb father and brother. The gun was acciden
tally discharged on his attempting to remove it
from the carriage, shattering his arm so terribly
as to render amputation necessary. It was ta
ken off above the elbow. We are gratfied to
learn that he is doing well.

Speaker of Next Congress
FIURNO C IBil
When a new Congress assembles and its pm
shling Milner is to be chosen, we of the country
generallY'permit the occasion to pais as one of.
no especial interest to us. This is all wrong.
In- Utah, we:have an equal if not a greater in
terest than have the more populous mercantile
and commercial districts. Our voices should
mingle ire the general council. Our ballot box
es-show that we know ""how fields are Woh,"
and w have a right to say how we think the
triumphs of truth should be maintained, as well
as obtained.
The Whigs of our country have triumphed
gloriously. We have a Whig National Admin
istration, (and in our State) a Whig State Ad
ministration.. The Work was nobly done---the
rich harvest for our toil is still to be gathered.
the next Congress will undoubtedly be. Whig ;
and if so, how important to all, and especially
to us of Pennsylvania, that we have Me right
man in the Speaker's chair. Pennsylvania has
that man ; and to her the honor belongs, for "on
her sole arm hung victory." Lancaster county,
that "Old Guard" of truth, is entitled to name
the man whom she d :lighteth to honor, That
District gave the largest Whig majority in the
Unlori.
The lion. Thaddeus Stevens needs no eulogy
from my pen. His energy and zeal—his un
yielding integrity and matchless eloquence--his
love of country and of Freedom:—his fearless and
never failing defence of right—his ability and
experience as a Legislator, are too well known
to require my feeble voice to re-echo them to
the world ; they are part of our history. We
rime it to ourselves in Pennsylvania to ..inite as one
man to secure the election of Mr. Stevens to the
Speaker's chair. No State has more just claims,
and no better man ran be offered—one in whom
is centered so many qualities which are called
into action in that place, and one who would so
well unite our strength. He is right on every
subject, and we hops to hear the press of our
State speak out. ARISNDES.
GaCAT FIRE IN NEW Yoart.-....The city of New
York was visited on FriJoY night by another
destructive conflagration, which broke out in
the stables of Mr. Juhnstort, in fifteenth• street
near the 10th avenue, which were entirely de
stroyed, together with the range of stables on
on Nth street. Between 150 and 100 cows and
15 horses were burned in the stables, and by the
calamity two human beings lost their lives.
One named James Keegan, had cows in the sta-•
Ides, and was stiMented while attempting to
rescne them.—The other wasp woman, named
Lucinda &irides, who, with her reputed hus
band, who Was employed about the stables, was
sleeping in one of the lofta. The fire was
doubtless the work of an . incendiary.

Minnesota.
The first message of Gov. RAMSEY to the Le
gislative Council of Minnesota app , .ars in the
Minnesota Chronicle of the Bth of last month.
It is chiefly devoted to the local affairs of the
Territory, and particularly recommends the
opening of the roads upon wren, itnportant
rotten.
The immigration into the Territory has been
qUite extensive. The town of St. Paul, the
seat of Government, is a thriving place, with a
growing population, and to judge froth thc col
unins Of the Chronicle, which are fillea with ad
vertisements, the business of the town must be
considerable. We notice, among other anneence•
ments of commodities, that twenty barrels of
Baltimore oysters were en tianda gratifying
indication of the good taste of the citizens of
St. Paul.
This new Territory has come suddenly into
existence, springing up in the midst of the wil
derness. The axe is busy in the forrest; the
plough is at work, upturning a soil never be
fore disturbed ; industry active and varied, is
stirring in every direction from the nucleus of
the young community and preparing a congenial
abode for civilization and refinement. Soon we
may expect to have the State of Minnesota ap
plying for admission into our political family.—
The Territorial organization in but the egg con
tdining the embryo State which will presently
emerge and come forth into full life.
How often this process is to be repeated ; how
long the world is to witness the birth of State
after State..each taking her place in full repub
lican panoply and adding to the strength and the
resources and the population of the great Amer
ican Republic—we need not undertake to con
jecture. But we may be satisfied iri the assu
rance that every addition thus made Will be an
addition to the firmness of our bond of Unity as
well. as to the resources and population of the
country.
The principle of political self-government
never received a more beautiful illustration
than it is now undergoing as from time to time
settlements in the far West are grouped into
Territories and Territories lire organized into
Statcs...-and all this in IJ/quiet a way as though
it were the mos: natural thing in the world.
The observance of law, the practice of indus
try, the habits of a well ordered social life, the
ready familiarity with all the elements of polit
ical administration, so as to render their appli
cation easy and prompt to the political wants of
the community in the way of providing laws
and enforcing justice—these are characteristics
of no people so eminently as they are of our
own, and they furnish a sure guarantee of a
steady and successful progress in the great work
of spreading over our ample territory the insti
tut one and the spirit of q substantial republi
canism.

The idea of laying annual imposts on the pro.

piety, to sustain the expense of Legislation, and
' for the furtherance of the public good, is not
alone a natural coneluSion, but also the only
feasible scheme by which the wheels of a gov
ernment can be kept in motion, and the credit
of a public firmly secured.
In the primitive ages of civilization, we read
of this expedient being resorted to, as the one
method by which every member of a communi
ty might bear, in proportiori to his property, of
the general expenses. Especially was this the
case among nations devoted to peace and corn
' merce. For precedents afforded us, in regard to
the manner of the supporting of the supreme au
thority in nations whose history i§ the catalogue
of continued wars, and whose character is dark
',cried with the blend of conquered kingdoms,
may not be received but with a shudder by a
people of the 19th century, who expect to defray
the costs incidkrit to the administration of public
justice, rather by the blessings of peace and In
dustry, than with the trophies of battle and the
gold of the Conquered. True, the extorted trib
utes bf a subdued tvdrld long replenished the
drained coffers of IMperial Rome ; but what
was not suffered by the vanquished kingdoms to
support the mildest Emperor that ever swayed
the sceptre of the seven-hilled city ! And if
such were the policy of any people at. this late
age, how long would enlightened humanity bear
their odious measures in peace ? Not an hour.
And we are convinced that to prosper, Repub
lics, as well as individuals, must pursue a poli
. cy which has for its main ingredients the prin
ciple of a brood undeviating honesty, and a
friendly regard for the interests of each of the
great brotherhood of nations.
To enable every commonwealth to live in ac
cordance with this maxim of universal equity,
and thereby superinduce permanent prosperity,
it behooves the respective inhabitants of each,
to contribute a slight portion of their gains to
advance public justice, and secure a general con
fidence in public faith. Such are the objects of
taxation. And if we but rightly vie Wed the
end for which we gave our money to the public,
gratitude Would take the place of diacontent,
and we would cheerfully give this only andpal
try recompense for the liberty Which we now
In the United States taxes, in proportion to the,
property protected,are smaller than loony other
government of the present time. The general
government derives its whole support from the
revenue of imports and other indirect modes of
taxation, almost as beneficial to individuals
as to the Republic.
In the different members of the sisterhood of
States, however, the per ceotum of taxation
differs, accordingly as the spirit of public im
provement has been agitated more or less in
their respective limits.—For in new countries,
the rapid progress of improvements is always
gigantic in proportion to the capital invested
for their completion.
Thus was at with Pennsylvenia. And the. l
Keystone State, owing to its vast system of in
ternal improvements, no,w owes the largest tin
liquidated debt of any State in the Union, and
consequently her people, for a dumber of years,
have had-not only the Executive and Legislative
' airanches of government to support, but_ also to
pay the'aninial interest of a debt of forty mil-
lions of dollars. It is not strange then that the
people witness with such evident satlsfactiOn
the efforts of an administration for the first time
crowned with success in , it si patriotic desire of
reducing our real public debt, by a laudable
economy, in the different departments ot finance.
Certain captious cavilers have attempted to de
crease the merit Of this proceeding, and yet it
may well be doubted whether any act of our
State government has been so deservedly popu
lar among all classes, since the enactment of
the law abolishing imprisonment for debt.
Governor Johnston, if not prevented by unto
ward circumstances, will reap, in the gratitude
of a gladdened people, the eternal honor of hav
ing first made a sensible reduction in a debt
which the present administration found virtual
ly increasing. For a few years it will require
every energY frock] the skilful pilots that now
guide the ship of State, to give the debt a,con
tinned decrease; but the do wnward impetus'then
added to it, wil be itself a guarantee of its ul
timate liquidation, provided succeeding admin
istrations but give this great object a part of the
attention lavished on it by the present.
In speaking thus hopefully of the promising
appearance given our public dues by the exit
. ting executive, we are not deserting the senti
ments contained in the former part of this arti
cle. Heavy as our tuxes are in comparison with
other states of the Union, they are light when
contrasted with other portions of the world—
light considered abstractedly as a mere matter
of dollars and centsinfinitely .so if we contrast
the liberty they warrant to us with the heritage
of woe guaranteed to the latter by the very mo
ney extorted for their protection.
The tax which we pay to our Commonwealth
is the price of our political liberty. We give a
very small proportion of our goods to ensure the
blessing of living in the quiet possession of the
balance. Imagine, if the tax-paying communi
ty, at a given time, were to cense contributing
to the State, that fountain head from which all
their present protection now flows, what would
be the inevitable consequence) Would not this
fair fabric of government soon vanish in anarchy
worse than tyranny) It matters not that our
Nide of laws is the most equitable in being, that
oar civil liberty is unspotted by ought the ma
jority has not willed, yet upon the happening of
such an event, our political liberty, (or the se
curity with which those just laws are guaran
teed to us) would scarcely have an existence ;
for the support rendered the State by individu
als in the shape of money, is certainly the Main
spring of public action, and were this withdrawn
what other motive would induce a proper en
forcement of the executive power, when exis
ting laws would be trampled upon by offenders
emboldened in the absence of every legal re
straint. But why contemplate even casually
the baleful effects of an event undreamed of in
the history of the nation. Oar object is merely
to show that, If our present taxes are burden
some, the eViis which they avert are great, and
the blessings which they secure are yet cheaply
purchased. Moreover, in view of the encour
aging state of our present fitinnees 4 one can safe
ly speak of the speedy and approximating dimin
ution of that debt, to the payment of the inter
est of which the major part of the State finances
have long been appropriated. M.

beyond all doubt, extending into several dis

in the country is attributable, in some degree, to
the alarm of the farmers, who are anxious. to
dispose of their crops; but the disease is very
partial, and some kind of potatoes are not at all
affected—it is only in a very slight degree in
some parts of the county of Clare. For in- I

Scratches.—Apply warm soap suds ; wash
the diseased pails thoroughly, and as soon as
dry repeat the process with beef brine. Three
or four applications will cure the most inveter
ate cases.
Poll Evil.—lnsert a amall lump of saleratus
into the pipe of the Poll Evil, and repeat the ap
plication till you affect a cure.
&stirs its oalres.—As soon as symptoms of
of this disease are developed, remove the pa
tient at once to a warm place, and restrict it
one half the usual quantity of milk, which it
should be permitted to draw directly from its
dam, at three different times during the day.
Make a tea of equal parts of white oak, birch,
dogwood and slipper), elm bark and administer
small doces twice a day.
To till lire on Cows, Horses or Hogs.—Rub
them thoroughly with water in which potatoes
have been boiled. In two hours every louse
will be dead.
Worms in Ike stomachs of Calves.—One
pint spirits of Turpentine; one pint train oil;
two ounces spirits vitriol; two ounces assafir
tide ; two ounces hartshorn; put the whole to
gether into a glass bottle and shake well before
using. The mixture is to be applied by turning
a table spoonful down each ncistril—holding the
head up so as to elevate the nose—three morn
ings in succession. The calves should not be
permitted to take any nourishment the night
previous to the application. When the fiest
trial does not succeed, repeat the process in the
course of eight days.
Spartns in Horses.—" There are three dif
ferent sorts of spavins," remarks an able wri
ter, " The bone spavin, which is a bony excre
sence, formed in the joint, which impedes the
motion of the joint, and is seldom curable. The
wind spavin, which commonly comes% tht hor
ses' ham." Prick the swelling with a phlegm
knife, but take especial care not to injdre the
nervous cords, for this will often bring on the
lockjaw. When opening the swelling, you will
often find a gelatinous matter to issue from the
opening apply a turnip poultice for a few days
to draw out the humor, then strengthen the part
by bathing it in brandy. The blood spavin, the
coats of the vein being ruptured, the blood ex
travirscates, and forms a protuberance in the
vein. Cusx—Take up the vein with a crook
ed needle, and tie it above the sWelling, then let
blood below it, and apply cow dung fried in
goose grease and vinegar, by way of a poultiCe.
To sure fresh. wounds in Sheep,:—Large
wounds may be closed by a common sticking
plaster; if not so extensive as to require more
elaborate treatment, this will generally prove
sufficient. _Fresh wounds should be kept per
fectly well cleansed, especially if the weather
I be warm.
To prevent maggots ut timunds.—These, as
every one is aware, originate from fly blows,
and are often extremely troublesome. They
may be avoided by dressing with common tar,
and destroyed by the application of honey,
when spirits of turpentine, the ordinary remedy
of simile practitioners, utterly fails.

the sheep's nose wit:l tar in June and July.
This, properly applied, will prevent the grub'
and invigorate the system.
To care the Stretches.—Exhibit a gill of hog's
lard, and cause the patient to move briskly
about for some time. Eicposure to wet and cold
should be avoided, and the food ndt too heavy
for some days.
TO cure fraciure.—Bind up neatly with one
or more splints, irk flannel or other soft cloth,
smeared with tar. Care shbuld be had that the
splints do not press upon the Wound, as this
Would aggravate and inflame the injured parts,
and perhaps becasion the loss of the limb. It
may be necessary sometimes to remove the
splints and apply some cooling wash to obviate
or allay inflamation. But this must be accom
plished with care. M.

Mr. Clark:—Allow me to inform numerous
teachers and other readers of your paper, in
this and adjoining counties, who have applied to,
me for copies of my Rules and Regulations
for the Government of the Huntingdon Public
Schools"—that it is not now in my power to
oblige them. 1 would however refer them to
our gentlemanly Board of Directors, who, I am
pleased to see, have re-adopted and re-published
these Regulations, with some slight additions
from the printed regulations of my Private
School. Having thus officially introduced these
Rules into the public schools under their fos
tering care, the honorable Board will, no doubt,
take pleasure in extending their circulation and
use to all who properly address them through
their President or Secretary, whose names Will
be found appended to said re-publication
It may be proper to add that the alteration
of the 12th rule, "Duties of Scholars" so as to
giveto teachers the suspending poteerTHE EX
ECUTIVE VETO-•-is an original and perhaps im
portant amendment by the Directors.

A MISSBAGE iv FIIENCH.-The Minesota Leg
islature have directed Gov. Ramsey's message
to be printed in French. It would look much
more natural for Governor Ramsey, who comes
from a good old Pennsylvania Dutch stock, to
have his message printed in German.
LATER FROM - TINE rantrics ma-
iIONS.
At the Monthly Concert of Prayer for
Foreign Missions, in the Bowdoin street
Chapel Boston, on Sunday evening last
a number of communications were re
rcetVed containing recent intelligence
froth several Missions. We copy the
material portion t
Aratok.—The reports from Southern
and Western Africa were quite • encour
aging. The additions to the churches
in Southern Africa were steadrand, oPI
Into somewhat •increasing ; and there is
believed to be a hopeful movement
throughout the entire field of the Mis
sionaries' labors in that region.
CHOCTAWB.—The results of the last
year among the tribe of Indians have
been very gratifying. The additions to
the churches have been 173, making
the present total of communicant;
nearly 1,000. It would be difficult to 4 ,
find an equal number of churches in any
part of the world, which have been so
uniformly and r eally blessed for the
last nine years. Indeed, during all this
period there has been a continuous revi
val.
GREECE.—A letter received by the
last steamer from Dr. King, at Athens,
represents his prospects as more encour
aging than they have been at any - tifhe
since his return to Greece. Twenty
nine persons now attend on his instruc
tions from Sabbath to Sabbath; and
among them aro students of the Univer
sity of Athens. He mentions also the
very unusual and encouraging circum
stance for that country, that two Greeks
habitually attended the private prayer
meetings which were held in his own
house, and took part in them praying
extemporaneously--a thing of very rare
occurrence in Greece.
InniA.--Rev. Mr. French, from the
Abinednuggur Mission, occupied some
time in developing the encouraging
signs of the times in India. He dwelt
first, on the success, of Missionary .
Iq
bore in that country. In the two church'.
under the care of the Mission with which
he was connected, there were 119 native
members, and the *ratio of additions of
late years had been much greater than
during the first years of their labors.— I
There is an influence at work in every
direction, which is leading the whole
moss of Indian mind. The effects of
this are, from time to time, developed
by the coming in from a distant part of
the country of persons who, years ago
perhaps received a tract, or casually
heard a Missionary preach and thus
were awakened to think seriously on
religions truth. Truth has wrorght in
them secretly but powerfully till it has
constrained them to abandon their super
stitions and embrace the truth. Anoth
er encouraging sign of the times in In
dia is the waning power of Hindooism.
This is seen in the teniplea of idolatry,
which are everywhere going, to . decay.
Where one new temple is now being
erected, fiveold onesare crumbling down.
The formation of societies among the
natives for publishing in the native lan
guage books of science, history &c., is
another encouraging sign. Sri ttlhe is .
the fact that the sacred books of the Hin
duos were being translated from the San
scrit and published in the vernaeular
tongue. The general desire of the na
tives for !aft:to/ledge is shown by their
readiness to subscribe for a newspaper
published by the Missionaries. Not
less than 170 new subscibers have been
added to their list within and year.
MAnuaA.--.This Mission has hereto
fore been much troubled with the Caste'
question; indeed, they hale been obli
ged to cut off many church members ;'
and some of their most promising con
verts hate gone out from them. During
the past year, however the Mission has
made considerable advance in its various
departments of labor. Thirty five have
been admitted to the churches ; and the
influence of the Mission is more and
more felt in the villages which surround
the different stations.
NESTORIANS.-A letter from Rev. Mr.
Stocking, of the Nestorian Mission,
gives an interesting account of a recent
journey from Oroomiah across the moun
tains to Mosul.—lt was made for the
purpose of seeing what could be done to
ward reviving the Mission at Mosul which
it will be reinemberedwas opened at that
place several years since, in behalf of the
mountain Nestorians but it was broken up
by a concurrence of unfavorable cir
cumstances—the death of the Mission
aries designed for the station, and the
.
warlike incursion into the territory of
the mountain tribes by a neighboring
chief. For some time past the Mission•
aries at Oroomiah have been receiving
encouraging accounts from Mosul, and
on visiting the place Mr. Stocking and
his companion found a hundred persona
or more under the influence of Evangel.
ical truth. The British Consul of Mosul
had become friendly to the American
Missionaries, and evinced a strong de
sire to have them re-establish their Mis
sion at Mosul. The Patriarch will, of
course, oppose this step ; so far as his in
fluence can go; but his power for evil
has been very materially abridged, and
his ability to persecute h:s people •for
embracing Evangelical doctrines very
essentially curtailed. For • the present
lie remains quiet among the mountains.
The effects of the revival at Oroomiah,
are reported to be 'very encouraging. A
spirit of reform had been awakened
among the Nestorians, which promise 4,
great good.
