penalty Of ten dollars in every case where
they neglect or refuse to "putup and keep
in complete repair" index boards a, the in.
tersec,ion of public roads, after ten days
personal notice by any citizen. That's the
law, and the Supervisors in many townships
who totally overlook it, should know the
liability they are under in relation TO it. In
numerous sections, you may travel for ma.

and are forced 10 inquire your way along,
at much Inconvenience, by stopping at the
different houses in your path.

Conspiracy to Rob and Murder.

On Saturday night last q nefarious plot
was attempted to be carried into execution
By three negroes, led on by notorious
white man, to murder Mr.. Rush aud family,
who reside about two miles from town. 1t
appears that they were under The impress.
sion that the old gentleman had in his pos
session considerable amount of money,
and this, we understand, was the chief OBJ
ject that urged them on in their diabolical
purpose-but through the confession of one
of the parties, We are happy to state that
they failed in their vilianous project. Esq'r
Kline issued warrant Immediately for The
apprehension "of the persons implicated
and placed lit in the hands of Constable
Snyder. Mr.. Snyder repaired 10 tho prem.
ises of Mr. Rush, accompanied by VIM
Colder, jr., and reached there before the
consp traitors arrived. After being shor,
time in the house, a rap was heard at the
door, the door was opened, but no one could
be seen.--Atler brief search, however, a.
round the house, three men, two negroes
and white man, were discovered near the
house, making off towards tho road. Mr..
Snyder Immediately followed, headed them,
drew his revolver, and commanded them TO
stand. They were then all three arrested,
taken back TO the house, and bound with
ropes, when they were brought TO town, had
hearing before Esquire Kline, and were
committed for trial. One Of the men was
armed with an axe, but neither of them
made any resistance"
We have since been informed that Mr..
Rush died on Sunday night He had been
very feeble for some iime.--H1risburg

FROM TRENTON.
TRENTON, Feb. 2ist, 1851.

TRENTON, Feb. 21st, 1851.
The long agony is over and Commodore
Stockton is elected to the United States Sen.
ate, notwithstanding most bitter and malig.
nsnt opposition. The Senate stood 10 10 10
politically, and the House 20 Democrats TO
10 Wings. But the issue was not strictly
political last fall, and the Wing defeat was
owing rather to the fact that the State govern
men, had falleu quite behind the age in its
antiquated notions. The Democrats at first
choose John R. Thomson in caucus as the
candidate for United States Senator, but
when his friends became assured that his
nomination was not most prudent one he
msgnanimously withdrew his name and de-
sired that the caucus should be calledto ogeth
er again and act for the best interest Of the
party.
Com. Robert F. Stockton was then placed
in nomination and to-day after an animated
contest, elected by the followidg vote.
Stockston 80 Ford (Dem.) 2
Dayton (W) 80 Randolph (W) 8
An effort was made to defeat Com Stock
ion because Of his business connection with
the main Canal and Railroad Co. Of the
state, but no specific charges of improprie-
ty could be preferred against him, and men
OF sense and thought will be at loss 10 see
how mans business connections should
eisfranchise him from the binhright of every
true and honest American eitizen-the right
of acting as the peoples representative when
they think his service of uso to them and
elect him. If Senator Stockston votes 10 ad-
nit railroad iron free of duty into the coun.
try, the Wings will have no right to com.
plain Of the mote in a Democrats eye, as
long as the bean projects SO far from the Wis
ual organ Of such Wings as the Hon. MIR.
Evans Of Maine. One thing is certain that
the Commodore will make a Senator that
will do justice to the people Of his State

the state be represents.

operation, from the fact That there is but one shut
Tor the grinding and boltug, aud that it ouly uc-
cupes space Of five feet in highlh and three feet
IN diameter and is capable of grinding from -four
to eight bushels per hour, turning out all the diff
ierent qualities Of llnnr and feed 1t runs with
one. fourth the power that is required to run an
ordinary milestone.
This desirable invention not only acts as a mill
OF ilse 1t. but must go in all large merchant mills as
an assistant, to grind over all the olla that escapes
the large miltstones, thus enabling the miller to
make barrel of -four from every tonr bushels of
wheat
