The LegiSlafure,

The Legislature of Pennsylvania will assemble
at Harrisburg on the Sd of January, less than two
months from this date to enter upon the fulflment
of the important duties assigned TO them by the
people at the election. There never was time,
since the formation of the Republic, when our af-
fairs required more prudent and wise legislation
and the people being fully sensible of this, look
forward with the most intense anxiety, 10 the ac-
tion of their public servants. 1t rests with the
members of the present House and Senate to saw,
whether our prosperity shall again in a great
measure be restored, or whether it shall be ire
trieveably blasted. If they pursue a wise and pa
ariotc course-if they disregard party ties, and
stand up for the good of the State,--al may yet
be well; but if they "follow in the footsteps of
their predecessors" and make the interest Of par
iY paramount to that OF country, we fear our fate
as a Commonwealth is sealed The Star Of our
national prosperity is now obscured by the dark
clouds of adversely; and it remains to be seen
whether the acts Of the coming Session will cause
it once more TO beam forth resplendent amid the
galaxy Of tie Union, or to sink beneath the hori-
zon, rise again; if to rise, 10 do with
,arnishcdlnstre. At the coming session provision
,nasi be made for the regular and certain payment
of the interest the public debt--unless this is
done, nothing can be accomplished for our good.
The public improvements should be sold, to indi-
viduals, or companies under salutary restrictions
This would reduce our State Debt at least one
half, and prevent the possibility of It's increase for
the future. Retrenchment in the expenses, and re-
ductions in the salaries of the officers of govern
ment, should also be made. Enough might be
saved in this way TO pay large portion of the
interest on our remaining debl, and thereby lgh-
Ten the taxes of our citizens. Measures should
likewise at once be taken to raise the value of all
Relief Notes to. par. This would give US good
currency and infuse healthful action into all
business operations. The Legislature should, i'm
medialely upon their convening, turn their atten-
lions 10 these salutary reforms Two months
would suffice to consider them, as well as other
matters which will come before them and enact
them into laws What will be done! The time
is near at hand, and we shall soon see whether
dhey viii do their duty, or prefer erii TO good.

Melancholy Accident.

A most melancholy accident occurred within a
few miles of this place, on Tuesday night Of last
week, which has spread deep gloom over our
whole community. On Wednesday morning last,
4 two horse team belonging to Mr.. Philip Brotz-
man Of Smithfeld township, was found in the
;Smithfed Creek, at the crossing place just be-
low the Old Bridge, which was swept away by
tie great freshet, last winter year. The wagon,
which was loaded with store goods, which Mr.. b.
lad brought from Easton, for Mr.. John Lander, at
Craigs Meadows, was near the middle of the
Creek; one of the horses was drowned, and no hu-
man being about. This at once led to the belief
that Mr. Brotzman. the driver, was drowned
which opinion was strengthened upon examining
the harness Of the dead horse which was found
10 be considerably cut. The water was about
four feet deep, very swift, and the place where the
accident happened, about mile from where the
Creek emptes into the Delaware, at the Cap
Search was Immediately made for his body, but
without success. 1t has since been found. MIR.
B was poor man. who followed farming for a
living lie has left large family, which sustains
q heavy loss by his untimely death. 1t is believed
that the deceased was under the influence of liquor
when the accident occurred and that in crossing
The Creek he missed the fording place, got into
the swift water, and in endeavoring to extrcate
himself and his horses, lost his life. This is an
ottcr 7carliag 10 those acho indulge in the use Of
Intoxicating drink

BOZ'S New Work.

Charles Dickens's long looked for Book on the
United States, has at last made its appearance in
this country. 1t was received in New York the
beginning of last week, and 10000 copies, at 123
cents piece, were sold in t,co days. We have
not yet had an opportunity of reading the whele
of it, but if we may form an opinion from the nu-
merous extracts which we have met with in the
newspapers, it is mixture of good and bad. Some
of his reflections and suggestions upon our insti-
tutions and national manners are just, and worthy
of consideration and adoption Whilst others are
as unjust and libelous as the very worst passa-
ges in Mrs. Trollope or Captain Marryatt The
extracts are written in a laundering manner, and
will add nothing to Boz's reputation either as an
author or man, We are glad to see our coun-
trymen beginning to place proper estimate upon
such books as this. They laugh at their misrep-
reservations, and treat their ISLANDERS with proper
contempt.

A Tale of Horror.

In The Runisas Qowa) Gazette, we find The
most extraordinary and cruel relation of circum.
stances that we believe ever went forth in type
An old man lived alone. and had forbidden a
daughter, who lived near and her husband, or
even their children, ever 10 approach his place.
on account merely of some whimsical pique
that the old wretch had taken against his child
One morning The inhuman being found his grand
child, under three years Of age, climbing upon
his garden rail, and he deliberately went for
his rifle, and sho, the boy dead. The victim
fell inside of the fence. The old man reloaded
and sal watching. No, long after. the mother
came seeking her child, and the minute she
touched her fathers garden rail, as she did with
a shrek, the instant she perceived her dead
child, the old brute shot her in the temple, and
killed her stone dead on The spot. The hoary
maniac (as he is now accounled) shot the father
also, when he came, and he is now in prison 10

Brick-makfng Machine.

Mr.. Kirk. corner of Schuylkill Third and
Walnut streets, has in operation brick-making
machine, propelled by either steam or horse
power,) which takes up the clay perfectly dry,
conveys it 10 the top of depot twenty feet
high, or more, by means of little scoops, or
buckets, applied TO circular band. The clay
then drops into hopper, and is pulverised.
Thence it is conveyed into a mould, and strong
ly pressed by toggle joint stamper. The ma.
chine, continually operating, will make about
twelve thousand bricks a day-ten men being
employed in different parts. These men, if
moulding bricks, would probably make about
FIVE thousand. The bricks are remarkably
hard, each being about four or five ounces hea-
vier than those of the same size, made by The
ordinary means. They are smooth and perfect
ly shaped. Such machine seems calculated

.EOIaH G. Colt.

Gov. Seward, of New York, having
refused to pardon or commute the
sentence of this wretched man, he
will therefore, expiate his crime upon
the gallows on Friday next, the 18th
instant. Great efforts have been made
in his behalf to influence the Cover
nor to mitigate his sentence, but that
functionary under the solemn convlc-
ton of his guilt, fears that the execu-
tive interference in his case would be
violation Of public justice, and an
act of clemency entirely uncalled tor,
and at variance with a full and I'M
partial administration of the laws.
We learn from the Tribune that the
decision of Gov. Seward was COM
municated to Colt on Sunday morn
ing, and that he received it at first
with apparent GOODNESS and uncon-
Germ; but when he saw his fate was
sealed beyond llpossibility of change,
all the audacious boldness which has
marked his bearing since the day OF
the commission of the crime, gave
way, and he seemed overcome with
grief and detection. He sent for his
brother, who remained with him
through the afternoon; he also desired
the attendance of a clergyman. Du-
ring the first few hours he wept much,
but this emotion afterward gave way
to an appearance of wildness border
ing on insanity. To prevent his self
destruction, he will be kept shackled
until the day of his execution; and no
one will be admitted to see him ex-
cept IN presence of the keeper of the
prison.-Daily Chronicle.

The Elections.

Contrary to our expectations, Neio York has fol-
lowed the example of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
gone for ine Loco Focos Bouck, their candid
ate for Governor, Is elected by about 10000 ma
3arity. This untoward result is altogether owing
90 the supineness of the Wings, who did not turn
out to vote, but let the election go by default The
loco vote appears to be somewhat less than IT was
lwo years ago, when we carried the State by 5000,
whilst the Wing vote is $4,000 less. We have
clearly large majority of the votes, and will
~ the state handsomely two years hence at the
Presidential election,
Littlc Delalcdre, however that "good old State" I"
is firm and true to herself The election took
place there yesterday week, and notwithstand-
ing the tenpestuous storm which ragged all day
long, the Wings turned out and carried everything
before them. They have reelected Mr. Rodney
70 Congress, and have majority of IL in the Le-
gslalure.

Curious Geological Exhibition.

Among the curiosIies now exhibiting at the
Liverpool Institute, is Mr.. John Austin's coIiec-
ton Of animals OF opposite nature living in one
cage. There are eighteen rats, four cats, iour
kittens, two hawks, two owls, eight Guinea
pigs, five slarlings, one squirrel TWO rabbits, SIX
pigeons, hedgehog, and forty young ones, all
living in harmony! The rats run about and Ion
die with the cats, the siarlings fly on the ca's'S
heads, and rest there without being disturbed;
the hawks fly about at pleasure, and rest on
the same perch with :he pigeons and starlInss,
and not the least discord prevails. As one FAM
ily, they feed out Of The same dish, and are per-
feclIy harmless. This rare and curious oollec-
ton has attracted great notice.

Supposed Murder.

On Wednesday morning last says the Tus-
carawas (Ohio) Gazette, Valentine Weaver left
Dover in buggy, for Massillon, with the in
tention, as it was supposed, of drawing some
money out of the Bank. On the evening of the
same day, the horse and buggy returned to Do
yer, with The dead body of Mr.. Weaver attach
ed by rope TO the axletree. The rope was
fastened round his neck, his pocket book and

Dover, gave general impression that he had

A Heosier's RebRke.

At The Clay Barbecue in indianapolis, the
leading Wings who belong to Mr.. Clay were
adorned with badges. An old Hoosier demo-
crat, by way of Offset, pinned one dollar shin
plaster of broken bank TO the collar OF his
coat
The above is from The Iowa Gazette and Adj
verliser We see nothing marvellous in it, sup
posing it to be true. II was very natural tina,
the Locofoco should put on the badge of his
party as he saw the Wings doing so. 1t was
specimen of "ihe better currency" no doubt,
which the country was promised some eight or
nine years ago--U. S. Gazette.
