Rev. Charles Thayer, Mr.. SAMUEL HAR..
PER to Miss MARY PANCOST, both Of
Crane township.
With the above notice, we received bead-
tifu slice of cake, such az the printers always
greet with smiling countenances, and say,
Like bright celestial ray,
This couple will have to say,
Every hour and every day,
Union and love will well pay.
The couple will please accept our thanks
and well wishes, and may every day of thslt
lives be as gay and as sweet as the rose, when
it first blooms in the Spring of the year.
On the 2sth ofFebruary last, in Darlington
townshiph, Beaver county, Pa, by Agnew
Duff Esq, Mr.. LAZARUS B. McLAIN, il
to Miss HARRIET M. LOUNSBURY, both
of New Lisbon.
Our young friends Lazarus and Miss Har-
riet united at very early age, but the ties Of
love bound them together never to be sepera
ted. May their lives be as bright as the Sun
that ilumlnates the Heaven-never be dark
ened, is our best wishes.

I Or Since the above was written. 'b
New Lisbon Palladium has been laid OF
our table. Onr cotemporary says
"Dr. George Fries, our late Represent
atiye in Congress, left tins county a few
days ago intending NJ locate and folio"
his profession in Cincinnati. Though
differing d from the Doctor upon most o
the great political questions of the day
We readily endorse the character he has
acquired for himself of being gentleman,
a gpod citizen, and an excellent surgeon
and physician.
''In his profession, but few anywhere
have higher reputation; and. we doubt
not the good people of Cincinnati will
duly appreciate his high qualifications,
and furnish the best evidence Of it in their
power. by employing him largely to cure
the ills that human nature is heir to.
"Though our political opponent, we
part with him reluctantly, and wish him
every success in his new home, except
IN the field Of politics, and even there we
would rather see him successful than most
msn of his party"

o. Hon. GEORGE FRiEs, who has been a
member of Congress for four years, from the
counties of Columbiana, Carroll and Jefferson,
has moved to Cincinnati, where he intends to
practice at his profession, and as Phcian he
is hard to be exceled, this we know from per-
sonal acquaintance. The Democracy of the
seventeenth Congressional district will miss
an able champion, for DR.. Fries was one Of
the most spirited and active men in the whole
district. Success will attend hlm-both in
politics and as medical man, let him go
where he may. The Ohio Patriot speaks as
follows:
Removal of DIR. Fries to Cincinnati.
Our readers will learn with regret that
DIR. George Fries, for several years past
our Representative in Congress, has re-
moved from this county to the city fCin
Clunatti. In changing his residence the
Doctor has left behind him lucrative, but
wide spread and consequently laborious
practice, and in settling himself in the
Queen City of the west, he desires to pur-
sue his profession where there will be less
wear to his physical system. We cannot
suppose there is particle OF risk in the
change, for with the superior skill and ex.
perisnce which he possesses, both In Sur.
gerry and Medicipe, there is no such thing
as fail.
We could most heartily wish that the
Doctor could have remained with US, and
his own Individual interest, not have sui,
fersd. BY the entire mass of our popula
ltion--without distinction to secls or par
ty--he has long been held in high esteem
aud his departure has caused universal
regret at the separation and heartfelt
desire for his continued prosperity.

GEORGE LIPPARD.

The more we read of the writings Of, George
Lippard the better we like him as an author.
He is at once pleasing and interesting to his
readers. His Quaker City newspaper is one
of the best, if not the best weekly literaries
of the day. Mr.. Lippard is bold and fear
less writer, and is ever ready to expose vice
and crime, whether practiced by Deacons
Ministers, Lai,y or the Worlds people.

In these days of Excitement the pubhc

In these days of Excitement the pubhc
eredulty is taxed to an enormous extent.
Excitement pervades every new acquisition
IN science, literature, or art. Yet, notwith-
standing the unprecedent enthusiasm with
which it has been received, there is one res
cent attainment in medical science, which,
we think, rickly merits all that has been said
in its favor. We allude to DR.. Guysott's Yell
low Dock and Sarsaporilla Extract, 1.-The un-
nvalled and rapidly increasing popularity of
which over all similar and counterfeit prepar-
ations, and the entire faith in its virtues pro
fessed by those who have used it, seem to us
pretty strong recommendations.
We are sufficiently convinced of its in;rin.
virtues, and unhesitatingly advise the sick
TO test Its curative powers.

MORE SHAVING AND sWINDLING!

| The famous Pittsburgh Scrip, which hat
the name of great responsibility, has been re
pudiated at home. Now it will be seen tha
all such species ofcurrency are unsafe io'be
in circulation, and the people at some time OF
other, will lose more or less by 1t. Should
these institutions be encouraged? certainly
not, but should be frown down by the honest
portion ofcommunity, as being the most dan
gerous pick pocket that ever was in existence:
| If it is just and right for men to cheat and act
roguish, let them do it in more honorable
way, than the bankers do, not make and cir
culate currency that is entirely worthless,
for good money, and after flooding the coun

sible palm upon the people; wilfully and
knowingly that they never intend TO redeem
the trash, are tho most dangerous things toll

beautiful picture of honesty.

Never since the time Of the bank sns

What seemed somewhat singular, we
heard some wings cursipg the policy which

that the city county and Alleghany money

lap all this commerce is to be emptied,
is likewise Interested Her sagacious
men cannot but be sensible of the i'm
portance of retaining a trade, which for
ages to come, must 60 on doubling itself
every few years, but which, with the ex-
listing impediments to the navigation OF
the river, they are in great danger of
losing. They cannot--or at least they
should not-overlook the fact, that rail-
roads have been projected, and are al
ready in progress of construction, with
the view of diverting this trade to the
east by northern route; and they cam
not be supposed to be so destitute of
common sense as not to perceive that
they can only hope to compete success
fully with their northern rivals by cheap
iening, as far as possible, the river trans
portation. We have Il right, therefore,
to look to st. Louis for aid in this mat
ter, and call upon her to send delegates
to the convention which is to assemble
lat Davenport on the 10th of October
next, for the purpose of deciding on the
measures best calculated to promote the
desired result.
The present is believed to be an aus
.picious time to urge the subject on the
attention of the General Government.
We are at peace with the world; the
finances are in fourishing condition;
the object is one Of utility, and of ad-
mtted national Importance in addition
to this, Iowa and Wisconsin are now
States, with Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress, ready to press the
measure with all proper zeal. An APP
preparation, it is believed, can be OBJ
tanned now, if ever, by making the prop
er representations and the object is Ger
tainly worthy the effort, even should it
fall
The deep stake cur own State has in
the Improvement should induce all the
river counties, and such Of the interior
counties as can conveniently do so, to
send full delegations to the Davenport
convention This, it should be borne in
mind, is an adjourned convention, and
the second attempt made to get up a
meeting to take into consideration the
iiit'I Va pC VI
fcctive it must be full. a second failure
should, if possible, be avoided. We
hope, therefore, that proper and timely
attention will be given to the subject in
all parts of he State. Meetings should
be speedily called, as the time appointed
for the assembling of the Convention is
but about five weeks distant.
Al
to appoint delegates, we suggest, should
not be put off till too late a day. The
delegates may need time to collect infor-
nation in relation to the object of the
convention, and this time they should be
afforded. We hope those who feel an
interest in the matter will confer togeth-
er before ournext issue, and agree upon
a time and place for the holding of the
meeting.
