An Heroic Wile
Throe men of bully reputation went into the
house of a gentleman in Paris, Ky., and asked his
%ifs where he was, avowing their business to be to
tie him up and whip him for slapping the child of
one of their chums. She replied that he was in
bls shop. They went off, and she followed them
into the shop unperceived, and picked up a mallet
and chisel. One of the men drew a knife and pis
tol and advanced to the husband, who cornered,
calling murder. The lady, however, advanced
with necessary speed, and dealt the assailant a blow
with the mallet upon the shoulder, dislocated it
and silenced him. The second was met by the wo
man, and a blow with the same instrument, dealt
with such force on the forehead as to break the
skull, put hint hors de combat. The heroine turn
ed to her husband, and Mond him tussling with the
third on the floor. She went to work upon this
third gentleman's head as delibeately as circum
stances allowed, and soon succeeded in relieving
her husband from all fear of "murder', at his hands.
All the gentlemen assailants had to be packed!
home.
Going to Bed Sober.
The last number of the Knickerbocker has a
good anecdote of a man who rarely failed to go to
bed intoxicated, and disturbing his wife during the
whole night. Upon its being charged by a friend
that he never went to bed sober, he indignantly
denied the impeachment, and gave the incidents of
one particular night in proof:
"Pretty soon after I got into my bed, my wife
said, "Why, husband, what is the matter with
you? You act strangely!" "There's nothing
the matter with me," said I, "nothing at all."—
"I'm sure there is," said she, "you don't act natu
ral at all. Shan't I get up and•get somothing•for
you I" And up she got, lighted a candle, and
came to the bedside to look at me, shading the
light with her hand. "I KNEW there Was some
thing strange about you," she said, "why, roe
ABE BOBER !"
"Now, this is a fact, and my wife will swear to
it; so don't you slander me any more by saying
that I haven't been to bed sober in six months—
'cause I have !"
THE RIOT ON TUE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.
—The Greensburg Argus gives full particulars of
the late grand battle at "Packsaddle Valley," be
tween-the 'Far Ups' and 'Far Downs.' It appears
that the party of one side went from the neighbor
hood of Greensburg, and met an equal number of
the other side front Johnstown. They encounter
ed in the "Packsaddle Valley," and after firing
one or two rounds, with their guns and pistols "got
mixed up," as the paper states, and then used the
butts oftheir guns. Several were killed and wound
ed on both sides. The Johnstown party retreated.
The Argus says, "Judge Knox gave the case to
the Grand Jury, at the opening of the COUrt on
Monday last, but we are not au-are that anything
has come to the konwledge of the officers of tke law
to warrant ar rests."
This is rather curious, certainly. Persons kill
ed and wounded on boils sides, and yet the officers
can find nothing to warrant arrests. They should
purchase bettor spectacles, then, for justice's sake..

Apprentices,
The following excellent advice we take from the
columns of a valuable cotemporary. It is good,
and worthy of being treasured up by our young
men who aro engaged in learning trades, in order
to make themselvs useful in utter life, ornaments
to society, and good citizens:
"Many of the apprentices of the present day arc
serving out their times as a mere task, without
aiming at proficiency in their trade. Tens of thou
sands a c only living—staying—with their masters
satified with doing as little as possible to advance
his interests. In this age of competition, it is ne
cessary for every mechanic to be a good workman,
in order to get along well in the world. But bow
few seem sumulated with a suitable ambition to
lead them to success. Bow few spend any oftheir
spare time in considering the difficulties to be sur
mounted in their vocation—in studying the science
of their calling, &in le.,rning the wants aud peculi
arities of the world with which they will soon have
to mingle. How few seek to improve their mor
als, and extend the measure of mental comprehen
sion, by reading good books t Bow many ever
stop to think, as they loaf away their spare time in
shops, stores, on the streets and other customary
places of resort, that education—mind—is the most
certain passport to success its business, respect in
society, and usefulness in their country? Boys
apprentices, young journeymen, do you ever reflect
on these things :"
Menotti IN SCHUYLKILL HAVEN -We learn
front the Miners' Jotrnal that a shocking tragedy
was enacted in the borough of Schuylkill Haven,
on Thursday of last week. It occurred in open
day light ; thout 12 o'clock. A man named Pifer
stabbed his wife with a . knife in the left breast caus
ing almost instant death. Ile then placed her in
bed with their two children and left the house.—
The lifeless woman was afterwards discovered by
some of the reighbors at rated by the crying of the
children. Pifer has not been heard of since. In
toxication is said to have been the cause of the hoc-.
rible deed. The woman was young and generally
respected. Tho case has produced much excite
ment among the citizens.
tir The census of the city of Cincinnati has
been completed. The entire population is now
116,078. In 1840 it was 46,382, showing an in
crease of 64,697 in the last ten years. This is cer
tainly a very extraordinary increase, and ono that
has but few parallels in the Union. The Chroni
cle says that the population of Cincinnati exceeds
that of St. Louis by 36,000, and falls but 25,000
below that of New Orleans.

tone and softness of light and shade. liy working
themselves '
they not only produce pictures which
arc GOOD AND CHEAP !! but by Sir the best
and cheapest which can be produced at any other
establishment. Their charge for pictures in hand
some improved cases, range from ONE DOLLAR
to three dollars, depending on the size of the pic
ture, being scarcely one-half the prices charged at
other establishments, for pictures of equal size—
but of inferior quality. Their GALLERY Ow Pon-
TRAITS, consisting of some hundreds, embraces a
collection of DIS fINGUISH ED AMERICANS
worthy the attention of visiters to their rooms,
which arc OPEN AT ALL TIMES.
The collection which they had deposited in the
exhibition of the Franklin Institute, was constant
ly surrounded by dense crowds of admirers, who
were loud in their praise of the artists' skill.
To guard against every possibility of mistake,
they guarantee every picture to be of the best ma

WESTERN LAND AGENCY.
ACAMPBELL, Land Agent at Lasalle, I -

Middle and Northern Illinois, and Southern Wis
consin, where he will attend to the purchase and
sale of Improved and Unimproved Lands, payment
of Taxes, Location of Mexican Land Warrants,
making selections for those who may be entitled to
Bounty Lands under the late act of Congress, and
generally to all business connected with a general
Land Agency.
Having completed arrangements whereby per
sons wishing to procure lands in this fertile and
rapidly improving portion of the West, can do so
at the minimum price of $1,25 per acre, without
the expense and risk of travelling there, any per
, son who stay pay to my Agent, James Maguire,
at Huntingdon, the sum of two hundred dollars,l
will have one quarter section (160 acres) entered
in their name, (or as they may direct) for which
they will receive the patrol from the general Land
Office at Washington city, in their niune, clear of
all charges.
According to existing laws those lands arc not tax
able fur 5 years from the slate of the entry. Sat

security will he given for all performances
on my part, and for the refunding of the amount
of the purchme, with 6 per cent., at the expiration
of five years, to any person who may then be dis
satisfied with the location.
The canal from Chicago to Lasalle, at the head
of Steam-boat Navigation on the Illinois River,
the Railroad from Chicago to Galena, which is •
now in process of construction, and the Railroad
from Chicago to Rock Island, on the Mississippi
river, now completed to Aurora, sonic 30 miles
west of Chicago, will puss through this country
from East to West, and the great Central Railroad
from Thslena to the mouth of the Ohio river, pass
es through it from North to South, for the con
struction of which the late Congress appropriated
a large amount of land, thereby securing, beyond
doubt, its speedy completion ; and there is no doubt
in the mind of any person well informed upon the
subject, but Chicago will be connected with all the
Atlantic Cities byßailrond, in the course of from
two to four years from this time, thereby enabling
families to emigrate to this country in the short
spare of from three to four days, from any portion
of the East, without the risk of travelling by steam
boat. Persons wishing to procure desirable homes
for themselves and families, will do well to make
application soon, as the amount of public lands is
limited, and is being taken up tepidly by actual
settlers.

TUSCARORA ACADEMY.
THIS flourishing institution is situated in Tug
carom Valley, Juniata county, Pa., eight miles
south-west of Manila.. and six miles from the
Perryville station on the l'enn'a. Railroad.
It has been in successful operation fur more than
twelve years, and is believed to he equal to any
Academy in the State in affording facilities to
young men for acquiring a thorough academical
education, either fur business or for college. Be
ing situated in a very pleasant neighborhood in
the country, the pupils are removed from those
temptations to idleness, dissipation and vice, which
are the bane of similar institutions in town; and
the whole surrottnding vicinity will vie with any
place in the State for healthfidnege, and for the
high tonf uirrality pervading the co= 1111 l
I'hc buildings, recently, have been greatly im
proved, and are large, appropriate and commodi
ous, constructed according to the latest and most
approved models of school architecture; and arc
believed to combine all the essential requisites for
the advantage and convenience of both learnerand
teacher. Pupils from a distance are required to
board in the Academy with the Principals; but if
it is desired by the parents, good boarding may be
obtained iu the neighborhood. •

The Principals have both been constantly enga
ged in teaching, for upwards of twelve years, and
can furnish the very best testimonials, both of
their own scholarship and ability, and also of the
thoroughness, success and accuracy of their mode of
teaching. They will both give their exclusive and
undivided (Mennen to their pupils, and will also be
assisted by other competent instructors ; and they
therefore hope to enjoy the confidence of the pub
lic, and to merit and receive a liberal share of
patronage.
The Vacations occur in April and October.
There is also a Private Boarding House belong
ing to the Academy, at which several young men
may hoard themselves at about half the above rates.
