Congregational Conferces.

A number of Delegates of our loco loco friends,
from Northampton, Pike, Wayne, Monroe, and
Carbon, met in this place, one day week before
last, for the purpose Of fixing the numbe- of Con-
fereeS 10 which each OF these Counties should be
entitled in the Convention Of the party for nomn-
ating Members Of Congress. After spending a
long time in ruitless endeavors 10 agree upon the
relative number, they resolved to refer the whole
matter back to the party at their regular County
Meetings, 10 do what they might think proper
The disagreement between the Delegates arose
from the circumstance Of Northampton demanding
as many Conlerees as the three other Counties
combined. The other counties commended that
they ought to have one more than Northampton
SO the matter rests for the present, and we pre-
sumo will rest for long while, unless the demand
OF Northampton is complied with, as we
sured that that county considers herself entitled to
what she asks, and will not accept of any thing
less. Unless difficulties are speedily arranged,
some trouble may ensue TO our patriotic opponents
when the time for nominating Congressman ar
rives. If it should, we will certainly not cry

Singular Outrages.

There has been series Of depreddti0ns com
mitted upon a family residing in the town ci Ma
chias, in this county, by the name of Andrews,
which are unaccountable, disgraceiuf and villain
Gus. Early in the spring, there were several pet
ty thefts committed by entering the house IN the
night, carrying away provisions, &c. &c. Their
barn was set on fire and burned TO the ground
and two attempts have been made to burn the
house Who the desperajoeS are, has been inn
possible to find out as they would come nthe
uight. in disguise, painted black, and every effort
st detection, has proved unavaling. A few weeks
since. shingle was found in the house. on which
was written warning 10 the family to leave the
house, or they would be murdered, or their house
burned.
On Thursday the 9th tlt., about midnight, a
noise was heard by the family on the outside OF
the house; Mrs. Andrews got up, and upon look
ing out saw man fixing sort OF scatlold to get
mp to the window, the window being high up
nom the ground. She got axe and stood near
the window sentinel the window being par
TALLY fastened on llie inside The thlei mounted
the scaifold and commenced raising the window
finding, after raising ii three or four inches, that
it was fastened, thrust his arm under to pniaslen
it--when Mrs. Andrews raised the axe, and
nearly severed his arm from his body. The thief.
with loud groan, fell back, was seized by his
comrades, and carried to their wagon, which
siocd few rods distant, and the horse was driven
of al the top of his speed. An alarm was imme-
diately given by the family, and the whole neigh
borhood was aroused in search Of the deSperadoes.
Blood was found on the window siR traced to
the road, and they were traced by the blood as
far as the yillage.o Sandusky, in the town OF
Freedom, distance of some ten twelve miles,
when all trace of them was lost
We have a rumOr that DR.. ColgTove, living

eign corporation sues in the Courts of this State,
it is bound, the trial of the general issue, to
prove its capacity to make the contract sought TO
be enforced.

the defendant, after having pleaded the general is
sue 10 the whole declaration, to plead generally
that the plaintiff is not a corporation
Sd. That the defendant may also plead that
the plaintiff (Bank) had no power by its charter, TO
make the contract sued on.

The Whg triumph in this State is complete.
Gov. Jones is reelected by an increased majority,
and we have carried both branches of the Legisla-

felt all over the Union. For upwards Of two years
the Loco Focos, who Had an accidental majority
of one in the State Senate, prevented the State
from being represented in the Senate of the United
States, in the hope that they would this fall carry
majority OF the legislature and elect two of thet
own friends 10 fill the vacancies But they have
been disappointed, and fhe best is, that their de-
FEAT will give the Wings sure majority in the U
now how large the majority may be against us in

4 Dreadful steamboat accident

A frightfu steamboat accident recently occurred
IN the English waters-the loss of the Pegasus, a
| steamer which sailed between Leith and Hull.
She struck on the Goldstone Rock, near Holy Isl
and, and some two or three miles from the Great
Fern Lights. Out Of the crew and passengers,
which numbered between fifty and sixty persons,
only SIX have been sayed-namey. two passen-
gers, the mate. the engineer. the carpenter, and
one of The firenlen What makes This calamity
the more heart-rending is. that it occurred in the
calm OF summers night the sea hardly ruiiled
by breeze, within mile or two of the shore,
and under circumstances which, If iudciously
turned to account, would have prevented the loss
of single creature When she struck. the boats.
two in number. were got ont by the passengers, a
rush was made to them, and, being instantly
crowded, they were sgamped by the backing Of
the engine and fhe confusion which prevailed
amongst the passengers.
