THE PATENT LAWS.

Congress is attempting 10 amend the Pat.
en' Laws, and has submitted some wholesome
provision for the security Of inventors and The
public, and limiting the discretionary powers
OF the Patent Office. One Of The provisions
requires that uniform rules shall be prepared,
open in the office to the inspection Of all ap'
PlIcan's, which shall be observed with impair.
TALLY in all cases. Another requires the
Commissioner Of Patents 10 keep record os
the date of receipt Of every original paper,
and not allow them 10 be removed from the
office; and where an application for pa,en,
is rejected, requiring the Commissioner TO
cause record Of his reasons for his decision.
So also in extending or tessnina u patent; cer-
,ified copies of these and all other records and
correspondence are made evidence, in ali ca.
ses, in the same manner as originals would be
il duly proved. Another object songh, is Ia
protec, the true inventor. By the Seirs Fd
eias and trial will determine the validity o
the patent. Now no patent is deemed safe
or valuable property until repeated trials ant
Judgments have been obtained IN its favor
This will diminish litigation for patents, ant
render them more secure and valuable pro
perty.

GENERAL CAM ERoN.

The Pennsylvsnian thinks General Cameron Is
man of too small a cslibrs to represent fenn-
sylvanis In the United States Senate. Only th'nk
how Mr.. Sturgeon must have bounced when he
read that--Minsrs, Journal.
How any man like the editor of the
Pennsylvanian, who processes to be bore
Of more than ordinary calibre himself, could
indi.e a paragraph like the above, would
seem surprising, II the public were not al
ready aware how completely self sggran-
dizernent perverts the mental vision oi
some trading politicians. Is il not, after
all, amusing 10 sec an editor lavishinq
abuse on such man as Gen. Cameron, and
charging him with incapacity, while at the
same time he is eulosising Senator Stor
geon, whose incompeiency is notorious
and who, in point Of tact and ability, in th'
U. S. Senate, compared with Gen. Cam
eron, was a mere cypher.

THE POSTAGE DJLL.

We are glad to see that our member Hon
Joseph Casey has taken the proper stand
on this question:, viz: uncompromising
hostility to every or any bill that will not
do justice TO the Country Press, by allowing
a free circulation OF newspapers within
the County or Congressional district. Let
the members from the interior speak out
their sentiments, boldly s. emphtically, and
they must and will be heard. Legislation
has been controlled SO long by city infu-
ence, that the rights Of the interior are al.
most wholly forgotten and neglected.
There Is however, a determination Of our
best men in Congress TO carry the measure,
and we feel satisfied it will be done. We
arc glad to see Mr.. Thompson Of Erie, do
ing battle in our cause. Mr.. Morse from
Louisiana we believe,) said he had not seen
single argument in favor Of reduction, and
as for the encouragement OF the Country
Press, he seemed to have an utter contempt
We doubt whether a man so stupid could
be ever made to see or comprehend any ar
gument, and we think the Country Pres.
will be unanimous in awarding 10 him q
leather medal for his unrivalled stolidity

BRUrAL.-One Of the most brutal and inhu-

made according TO the dimensions sent, was
found, on placing therein the remains 10 be
entirely too small Whereupon the inhuman
father cody took up the corpse, and carrying
it 10 the wood pile, deliberately chopped of
both the feet abovs the ankle. Such all act OF
monsirosity, in community like this, is
enough 10 curdle our hearts blood, and made
US wonder 10 what manner Of species we be.

next. This no, being generally known ner

adjoining counties, assembled 10 witness the
execution, and being disappointed in their ex'
peciaiions, a portion ofthem resolved that the
per.op should be executed forthwith, and ur-
ged on by exciting speeches, they got posses.
sion Of the scafIold from the Jail yard, and
erected !, in the street. in front ofthe Jail. They
then effected an entrance by jerking The doors
and locks, aud proceeded with crowhar'
scaniling and other implements, 10 the cells
where they met with resistance from Brown
who, although shackled, as soon as the celli
were opened, stepped into the hall, disarmet
few Of the mobbers, by taking from then
the crow bars ard scan,ling, barred his cell OF
the inside, and defied them. He broke thu
scantlng over the mobbers, and gave then
other striking illustrations Of his entire disap
proval of such unlawful proceedings. Th'
prisoners were again secured in the cells, ant
before dark the crCwd dispersed.

recently been sold by the Sheriff, for $9,-

With all these evidences surrounding us,
DR.. Sturgeon our enlightened Senator, de-
clared that our Iron Masters were in a

equally enlightened cOadjutors of the Press,
re-echoed this spasmodic effort of our bril-
liant Senator. We trust our Legislature
will never again send to Washington a
Senator, who could thus be made to stultify
himself to please few demagogues, free
traders and foreign importers. Pennsylva-

TELEGRAPH TO THIS PLACE

Now that the line of Telegraph is about
being completed to Northumberland, it
could be brought 10 this place at a small
expense. Three hundred dollars would,
we believe, accomplish the object. 1t is
the intention Of the Company TO extend
the line to Harrisburg, and the question is,
which side Of the river presents the most
advantages. On this side, the line would
pass through larger number Of towns, viz :
Sunbury, Trevorton, Milersburg, Halifax
and Dauphin. On the West side, Selins-
grove and Liverpool are the only important
towns. In few years there will also be
a rail road communication from this place
TO Harrisburg. Besides the line on this
side would traverse the outlet OF four coal
regions between this and Harrisburg, viz
Sunbury, Trevorton, Millersburg and Dau-
phin. Our neighbors of Selinsgrove, which
is the only important point on the West
side, could be readily accommodated by
stretching line across the river from the
Isle of Que.

incident which happened in the village Of
Piedmont, N, H., last week. Two little
children, one five and the other three yeas
of age, strayed from home. Not returning at
dark, general search throughout the nigh, was
made by the people of the villages. In the
morning the children were discovered in an
open field, lying npon the frozen ground and
locked in each others arms, one sleeping
soundly and the other awake. Although the
night was severe one, the little ones have
shown as yet no i'll effects from The exposure
1t is wonderful how two such little children

than six per cent on its cost, which fact, in
