The Sting of the Locust.

a correspondent of the Germantown Teie-
graph. writing from Horshamville, says
81 hasten to inform thee, for the benefit of
the many readers of thy paper, that Elwood NJ
Walton, Oldest son of Lewis Walton, of Moore
land township, Montgomery county, sged near
FIVE years, was stung by locust on the back of
his right ear, on Seventh day last. He was
standing in the house, the door. when Il
few in and stung him, which alarmed his pa
rents very much, having previously understood
that their sting usually fatal.
However, they at once caught q chicken. cut
it in two, and applied half of it while yet kick
ing, TO the puncture or wound; in half an hour
took it off and applied the other half, and left
that remain on about an hour il giving him
relief. This was then also taken of. and in
Ave minutes after the child went into spasms
and was in such agony that it required two per
sons to hold him.
His ear turned 10 dark color, red streaks
the half of chicken again put on, and in
ten minutes after he begon to>feel relief and in
q short time he was perfectly calm. It reoui-
red, however, the third chicken TO remove ali
the poison, the first coming off very green. and
each succeeding half less green until the last;
which was nearly entirely free from any dis
coloration. The child is now, the second day
after it was stung, playing as usual

The Difference.

The Providence Post thus pithily shows tho
difference between the Democratic and Whia
parties in this State:-
In 1847, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed
q law denying the use of the jails of that State
for the detention of the fugitive slaves while
awaiting their trial. At the last session of the
Legislature, bin to repeal this law was passed
by both Houses, but Governor Johnston refused
to sign it, and it was thus lost. At the late
Democratic State Convention, the subject was
under consideration, and the following resoIu-
ton was adopted:-
Resolved, That the 9th section Of the Act OF
Legislature Of Pennsylvania, passed on the Sd
of March, 1847, denying, under severe penal
ty, the use of our State jails for the detention
of fugitive slaves, whilst awaiting their trials.
ought to be expunged from our statute books.
both because it interposes obstacles by means
of State Legislation 10 the execution of the
provisions of the Constitution of the United
States, and because it is virtual disregard of
the principles of the compromise, and is calcu-
lated seriously to endanger the existence of tho
I Union
| At the same time that the Democrats Con-
( Nention WIS III SeSsioh AT f.eaOing, portion Of
| the Wing party held Convention at Pittsburg
and after nominating General Scott for the
Presidency, adopted the following resolution
Resolved, That We regard the existence Of
slavery in the Southern States as a local insti-
| tuition, for which they alone are responsible.
That so far as it is recognized in the national
constitution, they are willing to execute the
, game in good faith, but that Pennsylvania, hav-
ing long since abolished slavery upon her soil,
is utterly hostile TO its further extension, or
any interference with it by her State officers
