The Entorssb,nent.

II was the wish and request Of the family and
relatives Of General Harrisons that his body
should be entombed as privately and with as lIl-
tie osteniation as possible. In consequence of
this, many thousands Of our citizens, who else
would have followed it TO North Bend, content
ed themselves TO remain away. The feelings
of the nearer neighbors and acquainiances Of the
late President, however, could not be thus re-
strained; and on the arrival Of the steamboat at
the place where the remains were taken ashore,
the committee found an assemblage Of several
thousand persons, who had collected from the
farms for miles around, and from the nearest
towns of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, anxious
ly awaiting the appearance OF The boat. Al
though the circumstance was to be regretted, II
affords new evidence of the deep and abiding
hold which General Harrison had upon the al
fections and respect of his immediate neighbors
For many miles around the Bend, he had with
every man who was worthy of his regard, what
may almost be said an intimate acquaintance;
and in reference to this relation between HIM
self and his neighbors, it may be truly said, that
they who knew him best, loved him most.
The Raritan landed about mile abore the
Harrison dwelling Here the remains of the
General were taken ashore, and the relatives
and committees formed in procession after them
AS they wound slowly and solemnly towards
the tomb, many Of those who were assembled
fell into the line. Others more anxious to get
a look at the coffin which incased the body of
their late friend, took positions ahead, where j,
was known the funeral train would pass, and
thus skr.ed the entire way. At the tomb a
prayer was offered up by the Rev. Joshua l..
Wilson, Of the First Presbyterian Church Of
this city, and the burial services of the Episco-
pal Church read by the Rev. John T. Brooke,
of Christ Church.
The tomb is simple vault, with nothing
merely for show, and none Of the decorations of
art. It's situation is very beautiful, with refer
ence either to the river or the country in its
rear. A few trees, of the original growth Of
the Forest stand around it. By another year
the grass will be creeping up lis sides, and the
wild flowers be bending towards it.-Cmcinna-

Changes. .

We hear OF changes In favor oil honest JOHN
BANKS every day, from every quarter OF the
State There have been several changes IN
this county that we could name, if we did not
doubt the policy.--There can be no harm, how
on the loco-foco ticket for the Assembly last
fall. We have been informed that one OF the
leading and most influential followers OF Van
Buren, in Westmoreland county has recently
come out against Porter, and that another gen.
tleman of scarcely less influence, has deserted
the spoils party In Lycoming county, too,
and all along the line of the public improve
ments, where the people have an opportunity OF
seeing for themselves how they have been rob-
bed, they are leaving the sinking ship of loco
focoism by tens and hundreds. The mass OF
the people never expect to stand in need of
Previous Pardons, and as Governor Porter IS
disqualified from exercising any higher or more
useful power, they see no necessity for cling
ing to him. They say let them vote for him
who want the benefit of his pardons We do
not
Since the above was written, an intelligent
gentleman from Bradford county called at our
Office to inform US of the progress which the
good cause is making in that county He gave
us the names of six of the most influential gen.
tlemen in that county who voted for Van Bu-
rem last fall that have deserted the spoils party,
and come ou, for HONEST JOHN BANKS !
From motives Of prudence we withhold them
from our readers but will give them to any one
who chooses TO call on us. He informs US that
there is also a radical change going on among
the people--the real bone and sinew of the
county Bradford county is safe for BANKS.
Loco Focos put that in your pockets.--Log

From Florida.

The Savannah Republican of the Sd instant,
contains dates from Florida to the 2Sth June.
Nothing discouraged by his recent i'll success
in exploring the camp of Halleck Tustenuggee,
Col Worth has issued such orders for grand
move of the troops from all the principal forts
in East Florida as must end the capture of this
noted bandit 1t is expected that the scouting
party will be absent some twenty days, during
which the whole country inhabited by the
braves of Halleck will be thoroughly examined.
The Republicans letter pays the following high
tribute 10 the gallan,ry and chiyalrous bearing
of Colonel WORTH amid scenes OF the most
trying difficulty:
Although sickness has prevailed fearfully a.
mong portion of the troops, the remainder are
in high spirits. Col. Worth has never passed
a summer in Florida, but has escaped so far
the disease of the climate. Passing by one of
our posts the other day, it was observed that
this chvalric commander was the only mounted
officer visible, the whole of his staff with whom
he started from Pilaika being sick in the wa
gon. But in spite of sickness, Col. Worth is
determined to do all for Florida which man can
do. He allows no obstacle TO impede his
movements. Wearied by physical and mental
fatigue, he takes his seat on the grass beside
his brother officers, speaks TO them of their
friends and connexions in distant land, and
should he touch string of private sympathy
holds out the hope Of better times. Yet his or
! dels arc prompt and decisve--ayoiding no re-
auiremenls from others.

West Point Academy.

The Report of the Board of Visiters at West
Point is published in the National Inielligencer
1t is highly complimentary to the Managers of
the Institution. Various suggestions are urged,
and the Board conclude with this language:
"The Department will permit US TO add, IN
conclusion, tha. with whatever diversity of
opinions we may have met, we are about to
take leave of each other and of this enticing
scenery, which nature seems to have created
in beautiful harmony with vigorous and tenn
pered devslopement of youthful intellect, deep
ly sensible TO the great permanent interest OF
the whole country in this our only national in
stitution of science, and earnestly hoping that
no narrow national counsels or party or local
iealousies will ever be suffered TO divert it from
its original purpose, or 10 impede its natural
progress 10 the very utmost limit of academical
perfection"

III The pardoned criminal Hutter, the fel-
low who now but for the illegal exercise of the
pardoning power by corrupt Executive, would
be housed with thieves, robbers and felons with
in the walls of some Penitentiary, for crimes
which ought to have sent him there, has forgot
ten the scoring we gave him when he was con-
Quoting a paper, the name of which even he, as
lost as he is to decency, is ashamed to own now.
We shall have 10 take the pardoned slandsrer
in hand again after we get rid of few other
similar dirty jobs, such as dressing down the
leprous backs of one or two of the clerks in the
Auditor Generals Office--Log Cabin Rifle.

The New York Herald of the 10th instant
Says The opinion of the Supreme Court was
received, unofficially, in advance of the regular
mail, at Washington on Tuesday, and we learn
that Mr. Fox, the British Minister, has given
assurances to our Government, that no further
steps will be taken by him until the case goes
,hrough the Courts Of New York in the regular
way.
at is true that in certain contingencies, Mr..
Fox was directed by his Government to de-
mand hi, passports, but there is now no proba-
bility that these contingencies will ever hap
pen.

JUDGES have their feelings severely tried
sometimes, if they possess much sensiblity.
On Friday, young man was brought before
the Court of Special Sessions in New York for
some trivial offence. His beautiful and inter-
esting wife, with an infant in her arms, was
present; and pleaded eloquently for her hus-
band, and he was discharged. She remained
behind and expressed her deep gratitude to the
Judge for his clemcDcy, although she was the
picture of suffering and despair. She had been
thrust from her house by her landlord during
the Imprisonment of her husband, she said, and
for four days and nights, she solomnly declared,
she had taken no nourishment but what was be-
slowed by the hand of charity This was ut,

ExTRAoRDINARY EsCAPE.-Ihe Boston Post
says, on Monday night William Ferguson, Jr.,
an indicted burglar, effected most daring and
wonderful escape from the northern Jail, in
which he was the only prisoner. He was in
the second story, or arch. In the evening, he
declined handing out his tin pan for water-nol
an uncommon thing, and it excited no suspicion;
but it now appears that he had ripped out the
stout wire which surrounded the rim, and FORM

hand through the little port hole, through which
the food is passed, he reached the paddock out.

press up strong iron grating before he could
get into the chimney. In getting out at the top
he displaced some bricks, and then ran the fear
full hazard of sliding down the sleep roof, and
dropping feet foremost on the projecting shade
of one Of the third story windows. Having ac-
complishcd this dangerous feat, he rested on
the iron stays Of the shade, while he fastened
his blanket, torn into three pieces, and tied al
the ends, 10 one of the hooks, which having
done, he descended to the ground in safety, and
afterwards climbed twenty feet offence and es.

Criminal Outrage.

In Port Carbon, Pa on the 2Sth, brute
named Mclaughlin committed an assault on the
person of a girl fourteen years of age. Her
screams prevented the accomplishment; of his
hellish purpose. The Miners Journal says
that since Gov, Porter pardoned wretch of a
similar offence some months since, it is quite
useless 10 have the villains tried. This is the
second case that has occurred in that vicinity
since the pardon was granted.
