WM. BREWSTER,
Editor and Proprietor.
Wednesday Morning, April 27, 1859.
KrPhilosophers tell us that there are
certain necessary evils in the world ; but
they have neglected to enumerate them.—
Whether they include in the catalogue, et.
byls, wizards, quacks, &c., we are unable
to say. But one thing we know, that if
they do not, they ought to.
A professed Doctor Normand : by name,
his wife a fortune-teller, and his son a curer
f stammering, visited our town last week
and remained some days. The Erst act
was to get bills printed for which they did
not pay. As leeches suck blood, so they
suck money. Ignorant as brutes, they us.
vel through the country living off the cre
dulous and unsus2eccing, Devoid of all
honor and honesty, they delight in rascality
and falsehood, and seem happiest when
their damning roguery best succeeds.—
Such creatures aro the worst of nuisances
—yea, moral pollutions upon society. The
above caricatures of humanity have gone,
we leans, to Hollidaysburg. We caution
our friends there to beware of them. No
act of meanness is too low for them to com
mit. May God rid us of such impostors !
'Some time ago, the Borough au
thorities put up gas lamps in Main street,
and had them lit for several evenings.
Three weeks since, the town election was
held and a new set of men came into
power, since then, the lamps have not been
used. Why is this? The Borough has
been at the expense of their erection, and
is justly indignant at the action of the
present Council. To argue the conveni•
ence, propriety and even necessity of hay.

suit *very one, therefore it must not erect
any at all, or, if forsooth, it has nlready
erected some, they must remain useless
—proud and yet sad, monuments of depar.
ted public spirit and enterprise. What a
lasting, burning Shame. It is the misfor.
tune of Huntingdon to be governed by men
of the most contracted views of public
improvement and progress, and who can
never regard any thing favorably, that
does not directly inure to their personal
benefit. They are Solons, indeed. We
may advance something further on this
subject again.

ill'The trial of Daniel E. Suckles (or
the murder of Philip Barton Key, which
has already occupied nearly three weeks,
is not yet concluded. The evidence is
very voluminous, and of a character alto
gether unfitted for family reading. We
do not believe in pandering to a depraved
taste, and therefore prefer to keep it out
of our colume. The affair—which is af-
ter all little else than a farce—will probe
( y be concluded during the ensuing year.
Nobody doubts the acquittal of the prison

A CARD,
Mr. Editor
Will you be so good as to allow me a
small space in your paper, for the purpose
of refuting a rep)rt put in circulation for
for the purpose of placing me in a (mho
position before the people of the county at
this time, to the effect that I charged and
recoived pay from the county, for every
day during my term of office in '52 and
53, which, if that were so, would be 620
days. After the matter was brought to my
notice by a friend, 1 went to the Commis
sioners' office to examine the documents,
which are open to any person, and will not
lie. 1 found that I had credit and received
pay for 209 days, including 21 days em
ployed in holding the County Appeal: in
1853.
If this is not satisfactory to my friends,
who entrusted me in part with the busi.
ness of the ccunty at that time, the prool
is at hand and can be produced at any time.
ROBERT STITT.
Huntingdon, April 27 , 1859.
Tho Washington Union thinks that the
decay of the Democrat party is owing to
its excess of great men. A more general
impression is that it is owing to its lack of
them. The excess of great men may be
a cause of the decay of the parties; but, if
it as, we thtr.k there never has been a time
in the history of the democratic party when
it had so little to fear from this quarter,

sippiau. if their '.enemies, the pledged
destroyers of their civil and political rights'
—meaning Republicans--shall succeed in
the next Presidential election 1 ' , But one
alternative will be left. it separation of
the assailed States from the aggressing
members of the Union, ought instantly to
take place." We have an impression
thnt something of that sort has been said
before.
THE Louisville Journal sincerely re
grets to learn that Prestdent Buchanan h is
taken hold of the Washington monument
enterprise. Thu thing has been misman
aged enough in all con'cience, but its fate
is now sealed, and it may be regarded as
"finished" is a figurative sense.
THAT THIRTY MILLION
llOtt. JEREMIAH CLEMENS, of Memphis,
Tenn.. in a speech at Nashville. recenlly,
said that it required extraordinary credul
ity to believe that the Administration in
tended to use the 830,000,000 it asked of
the late Congress in the purchase of Cuba.
' , ln my honest opinion," continued MR•
Custesis. , the intention was to use it as a
corruption fund to secure the nomination
and election of km; SLIDELL as President
of these United States. There is nothing
in the past history of either JAMES BUCHAN.
AN or JOHN SLIDELL to place them above
suspicion. • Give them 830,000.000 to
be used in buying Spanish officals, and
unless some such miracle occurs an that
of a leopard changing his spots, a part of
that sum will be employed in buying the
Charleston Convention, and the remainder
in purchasing the vote necessary to insure
the election of its nominee."

Louis Republican calls attention to a se
cret movement emoting the emigrants at
Pike's Peak for the organization of an ex
pidition to take possession of the Mexican
provinces of Sonora and Chiahuahua, A
consultatiod has already been held over
this matter at St. Joseph, and probably at
some other points on the border, and prom

the movement,

•c Sickles is playing his part with the
skill of a trained actor. Himself and coon

save by moving appeals to the jury.—
These are made at every opportunity .
The miserable wife's extorted confession
was thrust in for that purpose. They
knew it would be thrown out of Court, but
then the Jury would hear it, and the sen

Four Children Bitten by a Dog.—We
learn that four children of a Mr. Jones, re
siding in the southern section of our bor
ough, were last evening bitten by a dog
belonging to the family. The line& of one
or two were considerably lacerated, and
are this morning very much inflamed from
the effects of the bite. The dog was at
once secured, and if he is in a rabid condi

that another child in the neight orhood was

be necessary that the rest of the Surveys
in his district shall not exceed $26,000, of
which $lO,OOO is apporteined to surveys
in Nebraska, and $16,000 for surveys in
Kansas. The Kansas Survey fund has
been appropriated for the Survey of the
New York Indian lands. As soon as the
surveys are completed, half a section will
be allotted to each of the Indians who may
have removed there under the provisions
of the treaties of 1838 and 1842, after
which the balance will be thrown into the
public domain and opened to preemption.

Aqueous Eruption in California.
The Sacramento Strthdard gives the folow
ing partieulass of a remarkable phenomenon
nature, which occurrer: on Saturday morning
February 2Gth, at 8 o'clock, on Wet Hill, a
mining point situated four miles East of Grass
Valley, and of which the editor of that paper
was a witness:
Michael Cullen and Joseph McChesney wore
engaged working on an open cot, with a view
to drain the kill, which contained numerous
springs of water. At the upper end of the cut
they obtained n perpendicular depth of about
thirtyfivo feet, whets the indications were of a
kind to excite suspicions of danger. They
therefore removed their tools as expeditiously
ns possible, and had barely made their escape
when nu eruption of water and sand took place
washinr violently through the cat, increasing
its width by the abrasion, and extending a•
round in every direction, till an errs of five or
six neres was opened into an immeso crater,
belching forth water and sand.

boiling vortext, snapped off ns though they
hod bees dried sticks. Continuing its head

to Mr. Kelly, and under cultivation, was cov
ered in spots to the depth of fifteen and twenty
feet. The ranch of Mr, 3feCartey, lower down
on the creek, was materially inlayed; and the
easels of Mr. Taylor, still lower down sustain.
oil damage to the extent of several thousand
dollars. Miners were driven from their claims
—sense with the loss of tools, improvements,
sluieohoxes, ke., and others to behold the la
bor of years destroyed beyond the hope of
profit or reclamation. The spectacle, notwith
standing its serious results, is described as
leaving been suLlime."
Fors Boorttt•as CONVICTEII.—Last week,
in the Crawford (Indiana) Circuit Court, nt
Leavenworth, Jockey Prather, Rensselaer Pra
thee, Pleasent Prather, and Win. Prather, four
brothers, were convicted and sentenced to the
Penitentiary for two yenre each for horse steal.
ing. One other brother, Thomas, who was al
so indicted, died some time ago at the jail in
Leavenworth. Jonathan, another brother,
was also indicted, but has not been arrested.
The father and still another son are under in.
dictment in the Perry Circuit Court for the
same offence—the father being now in jail at
Rome awaiting his trial. This family, con
sisting of father and seven sons, have but few
equals. They have resided for a long time in
the upper part of Perry connty, in a secluded
spot, and have been suspected of dishonest
practices; but from their number and the ma
liciousness of their character, the citizens of
that portion of the country were deterred from
instituting legal inquiries.

How mildly beams tho closing eyes,

When our little lamb was called,
Though we know it had gone to our Father,

And wits joined to the "upper fold!"
How we watched by her aide through the

How we sank 'oeatb the stern decree,
lire the angel had touched the prison bars,
To set the captive free.
We know that she lives amid realms of day,
Where all tears aro forever dried,
But a light has fled from our darkened way,
Since our "little Sallie" died.
Thy cherub form we no more shall see,
Thy prattle we hear no more,
But one stricken heart will mourn for thee,
Till life's wearisome journey is o'er.
