Fire in Hollidaysburg.
We understand that on last Saturday a
week, two fires broke out in Hollidaysburg
doing an amount of injury. McFarland's
Cabinet Ware Rooms and a Temperance
House occupied by one Cooper, and own
ed we believe by our townsman John G.
Miles, Esq., were almost destroyed by the
devouring element. We have not, as yet,
understood how the bre originated.
Price of Flour.
The highest figure which flour has been
up to within the last sixty years, was *l5
in 1796. It was sold in the New York
Market, during the year of the Irish fam
ine for $9 12 per bbl. In 1837 flour tou
ched $ll per bbl., but at the 'present time
it has swept ahead of that mark, and has
reached an almost 'starving point' for poor
families. 'The high price of the "staff of
life," at the present time, may be attribut
ed to the war in the East, which has been
the means of stopping intercourse between
the Russian Ports, and England.

of the opinion that "every tub stands best

War Kew&
By late advices from Europe per steam
er Atlantic, we have intelligence of great
moment relative to the allies and the war.
The long talked of and long anticipated
bombardment of Sevastopol, has at length
actually began. We are informed that a
battery of five hundred guns had opened
on the Russian fortifications and without
any apparent injury to them. up to the la
test accounts. The Russian accounts (al
ways the most reliable,) say that whatev
er damage is done through the day, is ve
ry speedily repaired during night. Our
humble opinion is and ever has been that
the allies have to meet obstacles ere Sevas
topol falls, which they cannot surmount.
That a mighty effort will be made to cap
ture this fomidable barrier between the al
lies and a peace, cannot be doubted. The
pride of England and France, the future
of Turkey, all are hazarded in the success
or failure of the present struggle. The
motive which actuated England and France
to take sides with the Sultan against the
Russian Autocrat, was not a good one ; it
was not for any particular regard or friend
ship these nations had for weak and imbe
cile Turkey, it was for the purpose of clip.
ping and injuring the powers of a nation
which threatened to distance them in the
march of improvement and prosperity.—
The motive therefore which led England
to league with the Mahometans. in the pre
sent war was a selfish one, and should be
so regarded by the civilized world.
Should the allies succeed in capturing the
renowned fortress nothing will follow but
the renewal of the scenes of Moscow ren
dered ten times more terrible by explosion
for, we are creditably informed that the
works in and around Sevastopol are all un
dermined, and therefore, the capture of any
part or portion of the fortifications of the
city would be marked by its explosion.—
Need we ask whether this may be so—in
Russia there is at present as willing hearts
and ready hands as lit the torch at Moscow,
where the sun of the great "uncle of his
nephew" suffered its first eclipse. May
we not believe that the seige of Sevasto
pol will result as disastrously to the pre
sent combination of European monarchies
as did the campaign of Napoleon I, many
years ago. _ _
Louis Napoleon made a visit to England
a short time ego, and was received with
the most lively demonstrations of joy and
esteem, by the John Bulls. The Qu.en of
that model nation of cockneys and syco
phants smferred on him the high title of
kniglß of some concern or other, by fast
ping a garter around his Highness' leg!
Poor Louis little dreamt of such condescen
sion when he played the part of constable
in "famous London town." But times are
changing, and England has fallen. She
no longer occupies the station of a consis•
tent nation, but has proven herself wholly
unworthy the birth place of many patriot
I is men, vho once gloried in the name of
Englishmen.
The present war has shown France in
what point she is superior to England. Tt
has proven conclusively whether England'
is longer entitled to the appellation of the
"mistress of nations:" it shows to France
and the world, that either Englishmen
have degenerated since the days of Wa
terloo, or that the victoiY there gained by
them, was owing more to accident than
superior good management or bravery on
their part. An invasion of England may
no longer appear to be that impracticable
or improbable affair it was some time ago.
Philadelphia Election.
The election in the city of Philadelphia
has resulted in the selection of the Whig
and American candidates. The Locofoco
party had made a strenuous effort to en
gage the Whigs on their side, and succee
ded partially in forming a 'fusion" ticket.
But the election has proven that the Amer.
ican party in Philadelphia, in conjunction
with the Whigs who acted with it, is a
match for any and all the elements of op
position which can be arrayed against it
by Locofocoism.
The result is about as follows : For
City Commissioner, Hill, Whig and Amer
ican, had 22,406 votes, and Sherry, Loco
foco, 22,209. Hill's majority being 197.
His actual majority, however, is 374, he
having received 197 more votes in the 7th
Ward, which were cast out on account of
the middle letter of the name being a mis
print.
For City Treasurer, Morton, Whig and
American, had 22,458, and Hagert, Fu.
sion, 22,036 ; the majority for Morton be
ing 422. la the Common Council the
Whigs and Americans have 43 and the
Locofocos 34 members.
This is not altogether a full vote of the
city, but may be taken as the probable
strength of the Know Nothings there, but
it is asserted that there are at the least cal
culation 5000 Fusionists who will support
the Afherican candidate at the next Presi
dential election.
Tux LUMBER TRADE.—The Columbia
Spy says the run of lumber thus lar has
been great, and that is still striving, the
river continuing in the best rafting order.
Some of the oldest inhabitants say there
never was as much at Columbia at ono
time, within their recollection. As yet
the sales have been extremely limited pur
chasers holding off under the expectation
of lower rates, while the lumberman
maintain that they will not be lower,—
The prices demanded are about similar to

What's become of It.
The Washington Union, asks the above
question relative to the whereabouts of the
"old patriotic Whig party, that once boast
ed of a Clay, a Webster," &c. It mani
fests a strong desire to save the party from
becoming contaminated and injured by the
"bloody Know Nothings !" This is a
strange tune for the organ of Mr. Pierce to
grind out. Afraid of the Whig Party of
the United States becoming extinct ! Oh
Mr Union, spare your fears, and we will
call upon you when we desire your sym
pathetic tears. It Is a strange, a remark
able affair, for the Union to ask such ques
tions, when well it knows the Whig party
is triumphantly progressing in the march
of prosperity. The Union really from be
ing a persecutor, has become a political
philanthropist and supplicant. But can
that distressed organ of the Administration
tell what has has become of the great and
overwhelming Pierce party! A history of
its decline and death would, we know, be
highly interesting at this time, especially
to the "old patriotic Whigs," whose can
didate for President the Union once decla
red to be a "gambler, a Sabbath breaker,
a duelist, and a murderer."
A WORD TO THE WISE, &0..
We seo by a recent action in one of our
eastern cities that an editor has recovered
the full amount of his subscription against
a delitivent subscriber. The facts of the
case are as follows :
A person subscribed for a paper, and af-
ter a certain time discontinued, by sending
his paper back, without any other notice ;
the subscriber had not paid anything on
the paper. No regard wes paid to the no.
tice, and the paper was sent on as usual.
The subscrib.•r was sued, and the edi•
for recovered the full amount of his claim
against him. The decision was that such
notice of discontinuance. was not lawful.
Subscribers will malce a note of this,
and take notice that all notices•of a discon
tinuance must be by letter, otherwise, ed
itors and publishers may continue sending
their journals, and recover the full amount
for the same by a due course of law.
We invite the attentfon of newspaper
subscribers to the above fact.
"A GOD SEND."
If the "new society" had not sprang up
into what a predicament would the Loco•
foco journals have been at the present time
for something to talk about. "Behold how
gr at a matter a little fire kindleth," for
now it is all commotion in the camp, and
frothing and foaming, and all on account
of the new order As "straws tell which
way the wind blows," although we are no
prophet nor the son of a prophet, present
appearances would appear to intimate a ra
pid dissolution of the so called Democracy
from the fact that the followers of that par
ticular political organization are Ariving to
gain popularity by kicking against public
opinion, and are denouncing a portion of
their fellow•citizens for using the same
privilege they do themselves.

Particulars of Itiot at Chicago.
The Chicago papers bring us extended par
tieulars of the riot in that city on Saturday
week, of which the telegraph has given the
main facts. It appears the city councils, some
weeks ago, raised the price of license to Hell li.
quors to 5300 per year, and stipulated that all
licenses should cense on the first of July, when
the prohibitory law goes into effect, provided
it is ratified by the people at the June election.
A number of . persons, thereupon refused to
take out licenses, and persisted in selling.—
Against these suits were brought, and the trials
were set down for Saturday week. The excite•
meet, in the meantime, rapidly increased, and
on Saturday a large and excited crowd with.
ered in and about the court house, blocking up
every avenue thereto to such an extent that the
Mayor was compelled to summons the police
and order the passages to be cleared. One
man only refused to obey the officers. and the
attempt to eject him led to the mob, the call
ing out of the military, and the wounding of
several persons, after some desperate fighting.
The police were repeatedly fire&upon, and one
of them, named Hunt, fell with three balls in
his body. His arm was subsequently amputa•
ted. Nathan Weston, another officer, was
dangerously if not fatally wounded. Two otli•
ere wore also injured. The man who shot
Hunt was pursued by a citizen, fired upon and
taken to jail in a dying state. His name was
Peter Martin. Fifty-six arrests were made.—
The police were on duty during Saturday night
and on Sunday, and every person found on the
streets with firemrms was arrested. Boys
were not permitted to be out after dark, and
she moat effectual measures wore adopted to
stop the rioters, and bring them to punishment.
A number of them were severely wounded, and

vainly insisting on the unconditional reduction

more so that Austria has definitely refused to

utmost to be expected from Austria is the
maintenance of a strict neutrality. Lord John
Russell and Drouyn de l'Huys had been order

Affairs are considerably more active in the
Crimea. The general bombardment, from 500
guns, was opened on Sevastopol on the 9th
April, preparatory to the assault, and was
warmly responded to by the city. Much dam
age was done to the works of the besiegers,
and besieged, but to our latest accounts, the
15th, storming bad nut been practicable. The
allied ikets lay in lino of battle off the harbor.
Fifteen thousand of Omar Paella's Turks had
been brought to Kamiesch, to take a share in
the assault. There is a report, which we give
fur what it is worth, that during Napoleon's
visit to England—where, with his wife, he had

Very Lath hope of Peace—Lord John Rus-

Accounts from Vienna are Mr from favora
ble as to the prospects of peace. Lord John
Russell was to leave Vienna on the 20th for
England, ar.d M. Drouyn de Lhuys would pro
bably leave for Paris on the same day. Lord
J. Russell's departure was formally announced
in Parliament for the 20th April, but a private
despatch intimates that he might remain a few
days longer until receipt of a reply to his last
letters.
Prince Gortschakoff's instructions arrived at
Vienna on Sunday, the 156, and the 10th con.
foresee was held on Tuesday, the 17th. After
four hours' conference the Russian plenipoten
tiaries left, and the representatives of the al
lies remained in session as hour longer. Rus•
sia declined to accept the conditions of the el
lies on the third point, but makes counter pro
!Positions.
At the• tenth conferencq, on Tuesday, the
17th April, Prince Oortschakoff announced
that Russia would not assent to reduce her
power in the Black Sea, nor have the sea open
'ed to all fleets. Russia would, however, pro
pose that the Black Sea be a closed sea to all .
fleets except* those of Russia and Turkey,—
' those two powers to maintain armaments of
equal strength on its waters. These proposals
were viewed by the plenipoteutiaries as 'wor
thy of consideration."
The eleventh and supposed FINAL Confer.
ence met on• the afternoon of Thursday, the
19th. Dismissing a thousand and one rumors,
wo believe that the only circumstance the pub
lit know is that France and England drew up
' their demands as to the third point in a speci
fic form, and communicated them to the pleni
potentiaries of the other Powers. It rests
there.
All hopes of Austria taking the field against
Russia appears to be at an end for the present.

peered to bear the most consistency was, that
Austria refuses to demand from Russia any

The War
Fire from all the French and English batte
ries was opened upon Sevastopol on the 9th.—
On the 10th, both French and English viewed
the bombardment as effective; but nothing de
cisive had occurred to warrant a conclusion as
to the immediate issue. Thu French left bat
teries had made a breach in the indented wall;
the two fronts of the last erected Russian bat
tery were much injured, and one of the Rua.
sian works of counteenpproach, near the ca.
reciting harbor, was silenced. During the two
first days, the besiegers' tire was superiortoo
that of the city.
The progress of events is thus narrated.
From St. Petersburg, April 16th, we have a
despatch wherein Prince tiortschakolf announ
ees, from Sevastopol, that at 0 o'clock on the
morning of the 9th of April, the Allies open
ed a cannonade from all their batteries, which
lasted till evening, amt was carried on in a less
er degree thouglimit the night. On the 10th
the bombardment was resumed. The Russians
replied with success, causing sensible loss to
the besiegers, but with a loss to the garrison of
833 killed and wounded.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes that during
the night ot the 13th, the left attack of the al
lies obtained considerable advantage over the
Russians. The Russians were twice dislodged
from a strongly fortified position, which remain
ed in the hands of the French. The posses
sion of this position enables the allies to forti
fy the summit of the ravines, which is of great
importance.
Or date April 15th, Prince Gortschakoff re
ports from , Sevastopol :—"The bombardment
of the city continued without interruption sinee
April 9th. Damages are repaired during the
night. Sevastopol is to-day in almost the some
state of defence as on the 9th. The loss sus
tained by the garrison, considering the tremen
dons lire of the enemy, is but small. There is
nothing upon from other parts of the Crimea."
Omar Paeha was reported to have landed at
Kamiesch with 10,000 men to participate in the
assault. Vire do not Sc., how he could withdraw
so large [cif umber from his lines of defence at
Eupatoria. Correspondence direct from Eupa.
torm, of' date the 2,1 did, however, state that
six French steam frigates were in waiting to

his men he, himself, would accompany them in

would be upon theta."

An Austrian officer, on the 11th March, saw
at a window a lady whose beauty attracted him,
and he forthwith entered the house and deman•
ded admittance to her apartment. The Indy
called fur assistance to expel the intruder.—
Her husband came and addressed the Austri•
an civilly—“ What do you want here? Ido
not know you. You are not billeted in my
house, and the lady you are insulting is my
wife." Without a word, the Austrian drew Isis
sword and stabbed the husband to the heart.—
Much excitement ensued. Some of the by•
standers went to lodge is formal complaint with
the police—others sent intelligence to the Turk

in sending to Krajova a battalion of infantry
and a squadron of cavalry and artillery. A

demand the arrest of the offender.
The General's reply was brief, but to the

curiosity was manifested by the members to

Emperor was observed to point it out to his
wife. Immense cheering marked the whole
course of their progress t hrouglt London. On
their arrival at Windsor Castle at 7 o'clock in
the evening, the visitors were received in the
grand hall by the Queen and her family, with
the usual court officials, and the Lords Pelmet •

and visited Queen Victoria's model farm and
dairy. At 3 o'clock, he received addresses
from the corporation of Windsor, the Mer

and from 4 till 6, put three regiments of Eng.

Two Children Starved—Shocking Cru

A moat shocking instance of human, or ra.
ther inhuman depravity, has just transpired in
Covington. It seems that the wife of an Irish
man recently died, leaving three children, an
infant boy and two girls three and five years r,t
ago. The husband, soon after her death, mar
ried again, introducing into his family thr,

of the little ones to whom she should have been
a mother. _ _
The youngest of the three died bat a week
or two after her entrance into the family, but
with an atrocity scarcely conceivable, one would
not suffice ; she must destroy the others. This
she undertook to do by withholding their food
with an obvious intention of starving them to
death. Fortunately the moans of the little
ones were overheard from without, and vague
rumors getting afloat that all was not right
within, and reaching the ears of the Council,
it woe resolved to send a committee to investi:
gate the matter. They went last evening, and
not an hour too early. Entering the house,
they found the step-mother at home, but, on in-
quiry for the children, she told them that they
were asleep, and could not be disturbed.
This did not-satisfy the committee, and, on
reaching the house, they found a door to one
of the rooms locked. Rearing faint cries with.

There two children, infants, their flesh as white
as death, and drawn tightly over the bones—
each feature defined with the vividness of a
corpse, while their eyes were almost bursting
from their socicets. - -
With the utmost alacrity and tenderness,
food was found and administered, which was
no sooner done than they were wrapped in
some blankets and removed to the hospitable
family of the jailer. As the sentlem en com
posing the committee were withdrawing from
the house with their present charge,. the female

Extraordinary Well.
In an interesting letter to the New York
Courier uud Enquirer, Mr. E. hfcriani, the
New York meteorologist, slates that there is in
Lockport, N. Y., an artesian well four hundred
Net in depth, from the bottom of which rises a
vein of snit water, holding in combination a
a large per centage of deliquescing chlorides,
which mingling with the waters of other veins,
produce instantaneous crystalizations of beau•
tiful selenile, in flattened eight.sided prisms of
about an inch in length, an eighth of an inch
in width, and a sixteenth of an inch in thick.
ness. e 'aniline of these are so perfect that
a single crystal may be divided by means of
heat, into two dozen distinct sheets. This well
is peculiar in more respects than one. It is
accustomed to spout salt water for but a few
moments at a time, and then subsiding remains
quiet for the space ofau hour, at the conclusion
of which it again bogit.s to puff and roar and
shoot forth Its saline Jets. When the workmen
were sinking this well, the anger, upon attain
in g the depth of two fiundred and thirty feet,
fell suddenly about fourteen feet, and reached
the bottom of a subterranean river flowing with
so strong a current as to produce a perceptible
motion in the upper part of the stein of the
