Dfed.-In this Borough. on Wednesday the
4th inst., CHARLES DONNEL, infant SON of
Peter and Elizabeth w. Lazarus.
Though none but Parents can fully realize the
bereavement caused by the death of one whom ma
ture had evidently formed too dehc,e and lovely
for the cares, sorrows and sickness of earth, yet
this may not preclude others from mingling SYM
pathetic tear with theirs and paying just tribute
of respect TO the memory Of one, who, though hut
infan, of scarcely ten months of age, will long
be remembered with heartfelt sorrow by others than
those connected Ivy the ties of blood. That God
may grant to the afflicted parcnts that consolation
which religion only gives to those who place their
trust in Him. tha, the brother and sisters may be
led by this acton from heaven to seek religion in
the days of their youth, is the sincere wish of
A FRIEND.
In this place, on Sunday morning the lst inst. at
the residence Of his father. after lingering illness
of several months, CHARLES MASSER, aged
"a years.
On Friday, the 9th inst, Mrs. MARY HEN
N1NGER, aged about SO years.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.


Mr.. OLMSLEY Of Ky offcr red Resolution thai,
the Senate concurring therein, the House would be
ready to adjourn on Wednesday the 18th instant.
During the day the Private Secretary of the
President, announced the signature Of the President
TO the Bill TO extend the &C, Of incorporation to the
Mechanics Society of the District of Columbia.
The appearance Of the Private Secretary of the Pre-
sden at the bar of the House created great interest,"
and his announcement of the signature to Bill Of
such minor importance, when very important
message was expected, created great laugh among
the members.l
REPEAL OF THE SUB-TREAsURY BILL.
The debate was resumed upon the Bill to repeal
the Sub Treasury Bill, which closed on Saturday.
Mr.. PICKENS of 5. e.. spoke his hour in de-
fence of the Sub Treasury system, agsinst the pro-
posed repeal, and in opposition to Bank, of the
United States.
Mr., Pickens was followed by Mr. Hunt of New
York, who took the opposite ground, and contended
that under the Administration which had favored
the Sub Treasury plan the Government had been
worse administered in the financial relations than
Treasury system upon the country, and warmly
argued in favor of the proprosed substitute in the
adoption of the Fiscal Agent which had become the
law Of Congress as far as it depended upon the ac
ton Of Congress,
Mr.. Hunt was cut short in the midst Of his re-
marks by the rule which limits the speeches of
members to one hour.
Mr.. STEINROD of Va. took g1ound in favor of
the Sub-rreasury system.
Mr.. HASTINGS Of Ohio read speech of an
hour in behalf of the Sub-Treasury Bill.
Mr.. GIDDINS, of Ohio, said the Sub Treasury
Question had been sufficiently discussed by the A
merican People, the two Houses of Congress and
by all classes and parcels of the People. Every
thing had been said upon the subject which could
he SAID and to cut of what might be an n,ermina-
bic discussion he moved the Previous Question.
A call of the House was then moved and with.
drawn. motion to dourn lost by strong
vote-ayes So, noes 95.
A call OF the House was then ordered by yeas
and nays, pending which closed ny report.
The Bill will be repealed by strong vote this
evening.
p. S. Nothing is known of The intentions Of the
President, in reference to the Bank Bill.

THIS MACHINE AGAINST THE
WORLD.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.


nAVENPORT'S Improved Pa'en, Threshing
y Machine and Horse Power, which ihreshes
and cleans at the same tlme-an invcntion for
which Farmers have long looked ia vain, aud which
renders the above machine perfect and past further
improvement. Those who have been waiting for
something better than heretofore offered for SALE
will find this TO be the article. Come see it and
Judge for yourselves.
The subscribers have purchased the right Of the
above Machine and Horse Power, for the coun~
ties of NORTHUMBERLAND, LrcoNrNe, CLINTON,
and UNIoS-and also, the privileges OF vending
them in any other places for which the hight has
not been previously sold.
The advantages which this Machine has over
all others invented are many and obvious. One
boy and three men can do all the thrcshing and
cleaning OF so bushels of wheat in dsy--and
this usually takes seven hands one day and three
the next. For field threshing it takes the lead Of
any thing in this worid--no grain scattered or
lost.
Such is the superiority Of the Horse Power,
that three horses can thresh as much with it as
four con with any other.
The Machines and Horse Power will he sold
together separate, to suit purchasers, Made and
sold in Milton, by the subscribers.

The history of wars furnishes few instances, il
any, exhibiting a more magnsnimous feeling than
that shown by the Army of General Sullivan, at
Saratoga, who, when the British and German troops
under General BuIeoyne surrendered 10 them and
stacked their arms retired within their own lines,
,ha, they might not be witnesses Of the shame OF
the yanquished. This too, after these very con-
quered men had been guilty of the creates, exces-
