• J ar Mr. John Read, of this place has pre

the "Japan Pea."
This plant is stated to be of Japan origin,
and from their hardihood to resist drought and
frost, and their enormous yield, appear to be
highly worthy of the attention of agriculturists.
Its habits of growth is bushy, upright and stiff,
branching near the ground, and attaining a
height of three or four feet. The leaflets are
large, resembling those of an ordinary bean,
occurring in sets of three, with long quadrang
lar stems.
This product will grow well on moderately
fertile, as well as on rich soils, and may be
planted, one seed in a place, at the distance of
three feet apart, from the last of April to the
first of July. It is said to be' well adapted to
plant as an after crop, on land which has been
been cultivated with early potatoes or peas, or
to supply the vacancies in a corn field, caused
by birds or worms.

The Legislature and Temperance.
The oiliciul returns of all the counties have
been received and the footing up shows a ma•
jority against Prohibition of 5,168. This re
suit is to he attributed not so much to the un
popularity of the measure, or the manegement
of keep ponents,as to the injudicious course of the
State Temperance Convention, first in totally
repudiating the idea of a popular vote, and
subsequently accepting the issue under apro
tot, leaving it optional with friends of Prohi
bition to vote or noti as they might deem pro
per. The temperance men themselves ore re

ly agitated on the subject, Prohibition would
have carried by twenty thousand majority.—
But as it is, with trilling majority ofjive thud
sand in a poll of orer three hundred thousand
roles, the rummies cannot claim the result as a
triumph Indeed, under all the circumstances
WE Ant STILL. Tun vteTotts For alarge ma
jority of the counties have voted for Prohibi
lion, and a decided majority in both branches
of the Legislature have been ins( rue: ionby their
:flea' constituency, in favor of a Prohibitory
Law. That such a law—or atleast a stringent
license law—will be enacted by the incoming
Legislature, there can be no doubt. More
than one hundred and
.tifty•eight thousand
voters of Pennsylvania have demanded, through
the ballot-box, a law fur the suppression of the
liquor traffic, and a temperance Legislature
will be very likely to accede to the demand.—
Let us see how the Legislature stands instruct
ed on this question. There are twenty-eight
Senatorial districts in the State, which elect
thirty-three Senators. In fifteen of these die
triets the voters have instructed their Sena.
tors for a prohibitory law, by giving majori
ties in favor of that measure ; these fifteen dis
tricts elect nineteen Senators. Thirteen dis
tricts, (including the 10th, 24thand 26th which
are divided on the question by counties) have
instructed against the law; these districts elect
fourteen Senators—leaving us a clear majority
of five.
There are sixtyfour counties, divided into
fortyone Representative districts electing one
hundred members to the house. Of this num
ber twenty-four distriets,ineu ltl ingfortycountics
have instructed for Prohibition; these districts
elect sixty members. Seventeen districts, in.
eluding t wentyfour counties, have given ma
jorities against the Law; these districts elect
forty members; this includes York and Dau
phin which have elected five temperance mem
bers. Then We have in the House sixty mem
bers instructed for the Law and forty against
it—rgiving us a clear majority of twenty in the
House and jive in the Senate! In addition to
this view of the case, quite a number of me.

good, his prices ever so reasonable, but unless
he employ proper means of making them

We see it stated, that this "used op man"

object of his visit was, to secure of President

Foreign Court. Bigler used his influence to
get James Campbell into the National Cabinet,
after he had beets rejected by the people of
Pennsylvania; now that be himself is a cast

Democratic 'Retrenchment and Reform.'
We have at length an official statement of
the appropriations of the last session, of the
offices created, and the salaries increased. The
definite and indefinite appropriations for the
current year will amount to $70,000,000. The
sum will be swelled to seventy three millions
of dollars by appropriations to be made next
session, thr omissions during the last. This
amount exceeds, by 30,000.000, the total ex
penditures during the last fiscal year of Mr.
Fillmore's term. It will entirely absorb the
enormous revenue of the last year, which was
admitted by both parties to have been an in
tolerable public burden. There have been one
hundred and seventy new offices created, the
aggregate salariesof which amount to $177,000
To these may be added an indefinite number
of collectors and surveyors of customs, whose
salaries areas indefinite as their numbers.—
A correspondent of the Xis-/la American (from
which paper we glean the above facts and fig
ures)says that the salaries of all the clerks in
Washington are 'raised about 20 per cent.—
There are fifteen or twenty government em
ployees of the higher grade who will receive
an increase of compensation of about the st o ne
amount. At this rate of progress it will be ob
served that we shall realize the culminating
point of Democratic 'retrenchment and reform.'
There has lieretoffire been a mystery attached
to this cabalistic phrase, but we are now learn
ing what it means. The definition of "Re
trenchment and Reform," is an increase of ex
penditures from $43,000,000 to 73,000,000 per
annum, ad increase of salaries for all govern
ment officers of 20 pet cent., and an increase
in the number of salaried officers of some two
hundred a year."—Har. Tel.
Extraordinary Case.
A few days ago, a woman named Mrs. Hun
ter, residing at Brim Woods, passed an animal
of an extraordinary description. She imagines
that it has been in her stomach for upwards of
six years, during that period she having expe
rienced novel and unpleasant sensations,which
no remedy in the shape of medicine could re
move and of which she is now relieved. The
animal is three or four inches in circumfer
ence, and about six inches in length, has a
head shaped like that of a cat, mouth well for
med, no eyes and no feet. Its tail is forked,
but not sharp. The belly is fiat. and namely
an inch in breadth. The whole body is cover
ed by incipient scales, and is striped like a
leech. Around the neck and shoulders there
is a membranous frill of a peculiar form. The
colour of the animal is dark brown, the nose
being white. The circumstance has created a
great sensation in the neighborhood. Mrs.
Hunter is about fiftyfive years of age, and has
for a long time bees in ill heuth.--fr&rodit

the woods opposite St. Louis on the afternon of
the 27th, the combats being Tom Myer and an
Irish Man named McGowan. But few spectators
were present, as the spot selected had been kept
a secret to prevent the interference of the police.
Both Ilyer and .111eGowan are men of great size
and strength, and when dressed in the custom
ary style of boxers, tight woolen drawers, flesh
colored silk stockings, and black slippers, with
bare bodies from the waist upwards, leaked tier

king in boldy and wi, hum hesitation at every
fresh round. They n•ere both much beaten
and bruised, but neither was totally whipped,
the fight being decided on the last round in
favor of McGowan, because Ilyer struck a foul
blow. The account of this brutal display is
given in the St. Louis Democrat with so much
low vulgar slang that it is difficult to under

Adroit Villany.
The Springfield Republican says that the offs
eers of the Western Railroad have been for some
time annoyed by frequent depredations upon
freight in course of transportation on board their
_their trains, and every effort has been made to
discover the perpetrators. No progress was
muds until the arrestof Ed. Bates the bigamist.
who acknowledged his participation in the lar
cenies, and gave information which led to the
arrest of three assistant freight conductors mid
six or seven brakemen. About a thousand
dollars worth of the stolen goods were recover.
ed, and the accused will be examined next
week. It appears that a regular system of
robbery has been carried on by these men,
light merchandise of almost every doscriptoin
having been abstacted by them from boxes abd
packages of freight on the tra ills upon which
they were employed. There was a mutual
understandiug among them, that no man
should take snore than lie required for his own
use; and while most of them adhered to this
rule, some of the more avaricious appropriated
enough to stock several moderate sized variety
stores. Of the former, however, are several
young men who were evidently led on by old
er heads in crime, and aro therefore less im
plicated. It is believed that these arrests will
put en end to these depredations, and tha t
freight will hereafte r pass unmolested over the
road.
COST or RELIGION IN BOSTON.—Religion is
a costly luxury in some certain wordly respects.
It is estimated that the current expenses of the
churches in Boston will amount to $ 240, 000
this year. The value of the several church
estates in the city of Boston is estimated •at
about fouemillion of dollars. The expenses
of the different societies vary from 1,500 to
$5, 500 a year. The cost of public worship
in the churches occupied by the wealthier por
tion of the citizens will average adbut $lOO a
Sunday. The clergymen have a salary of
$3,000, the music costs about $l,OOO and the
miscellaneous expenses will be from $l,OOO to
$1,300 a year. The tax on pews varies from
$8 to $7O a year according to their value.

Murder.
A horrible murder was committed on Satur
day the 28th ult., at the National Hotel, kept
by Capt. Samuel Wilt. The particulars of the
case as fir as we could learn, are as follows:
About a week ago, no individual by the name
of Turtle, left his home near Millersburg in
this county, and took board at Wilt's. After
spending a few days in idleness and living on
the fat of the land, the proprietor of the estab
lishment became dissatisfied and concluded to
have a settlement. Mr• Turtle was according
ly called up, but he refused to treat, when he
was violently seized by a couple of individuals
who held him firmly, while another seized a
knife and severed his head from his body. Mr.
Turtle fought desperately, but being unarmed
he was compelled to yield to superior strength.
Coroner Chandler refused td hold an inquest
on the body, in consequence the carcass was
immersed in a pot and converted into soup,
which was duly discussed by a party of gentle
men at the dinner table; and strange to say,
not one of the persons were sorry that Mr.
Turtle had been murdered.—Harrisburg Item.

But in connection with this matter,we would
remind our readers in general, and the mem•
bore of the Legislature in particular, that the
trickery of present Canal Board, by a re•
duetion ofthe tolls at an unpropitious titer,
contributed to the defeat of the sale of the

ly, and that the Governor bo authorized, by
and with the advise of the Senate, to appoint
a General Superintendent. This in due to the
people who have been duped and defrauded,
by the mismanagement of the Public Works
for years; it is due to our tax-payers, who so
earnestly desire .the sale, and can hardly hope
to secure it,.so long as-the present Board and
their thousands ofsnbordinates, are intriguing
to retain their places; it is due to thousands of
native Atnericen citizens, who are refused em
ployment as leek•tenders, mud•bosses, laborers,
in order to retain and pamper a host of
foreigners to vote down native Pennsylvanians,
and eat out their substance. We don't like to

just now about in that situation, having on its
tail the admini strittion, a something which it
can't get oil; and a pretty chase has it been
led in PennsYlvania, Ohio and Indiana. Long

VALUABLE MINERAL-A mineral known as
gas coal, found at Torbonohill, North Britain
is used by a Mr. Young, of Bathgate, for the
manufactu, therefrom of what is called rar
affine oil, and from the developments of a rc•
cent trial at Edinburgh, it seems that this es•
tablishment makes 8,000 gallons u: per
week, and sells yearly 400,030 gallons at five
shillngs the gallon—.£ 100,000—the greater
portion of the stun being clear profit. There
are many other establishments in Europe
which obtain this mineral for snaking oil and
producing gas. It is therefore, in a• commer
cial point of view, of immense value, and the

attention of our geologists and mineralogists
to search for minerals of the same character

his addreess, after which he re-entered the car

Thus has fuller one of our oldest, worthiest

fellow citizens during a long life, and filled the

acceptability. He was especially useful as an
early surveyor,in this and adjoining counties.
Ho lived to a green and hale old age, and

honorable grave—a wider sphere and a more
finished education, than was his lot, would
have made him a man of rank and intportance,
or even, celebrity. So true is it, that we are
more "the creatures of circumstances, fame,

dependent upon a man's surroundings. But

ThO daring boldness of the recreant who
