Locofoco Rule and It's R esulas.

The keystone says the Locofocos 'have
welded the government more than sew
en-eights of the time since its establish
ment.'
As consequence of this, we have ff-
ty-four Banks and Saving Institutions in
the Commonwealth, with a capital OF
more than sls 100000. Before elections,
how these Locofocos denounce Banks,
Corporations and all monopolies Atte'
elections, how rapidly they create Banks,
Corporations and monopolies!
Locofocos have welded the govern
ment more than seven-eights of the time
since its establishment" Very true. In
consequence we have State debt of O.
yer FORTY MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS. These Locofocos understand
how to roll up heavy debts, but they
don't know any thing about paying them.
The people have grown tired of the Lo-
cofoco mode of welding the govern
ment." They invariably enrich private
individuals, and swamp the State Treas
ury.-Ddaly American.

Horrible outrage.

The Honesdale Dem. ofthe 18th inst, says:
On Thursday last a Mr. Wilson and wife,
of Salem township, in this county, got on
board canal boat in this borough for the pur-
pose of going to Hawey. The boat on which
they took pa ssage started just before night
fall, and they found themselves in company
with three young men whom it subsequently
appeared were there to accomplish most re-
voting design. When the boat had got per-
haps two miles the young men left but they
soon returned. Soon after the captain, who
was somewhat intoxicated, left the boat, leav-
ing Mr. Willison.at the tiller. This was'be-
tween three and four miles from this borough
Mrs. Willison was in berth In the cabin
The young men drew pistols from their pock-
els, and while two of them prevented Mr.
Wilson from interposing for the protection
of his wife, the third young man went below
and, suh1uing her by threats, violated her per-
son. He then came on deck, and one of the
others went below and repeated the violation
and so on with the third. The Young men
then left the boat and betook themselves to
the woods, hoping to make their way back to
this place undetected. In this they were
disappointed. All of them were arrested, and
are now in jail in this borough awaiting trial.
Their names are Thomas Riley, David Rara-
tan, and John Stafford. The first named was
lately discharged from Monticello jail ; and
the others were boatmen. Mrs. Wilson is
respectable woman, and had been married
but three months.

A New Instrument of Dcstruc.
linn

A rife capable of firing 25 balls ev-
cry minute, including the time of load
ing, was shown us day or two since, as
an important improvement in firearms.
Under the barrel, in the place of the or
binary ramrod, is an iron tube contain
ing the 25 balls, and by cooking the gun
ball is brought up the barrel, and the
same operation brings up from the breech
ga pill" of priming. The charge of pow
der is contained in the ball, which is not
round, but oblOng, and having an OPEN
ing which is corked shut after the pow
der has been introduced. The quantity
of powder is only % grains, and drives
the ball with greater force than the large
charge in an ordinary gun. The day of
its exhibition to ourselves, the owner and
part inventor had been down on the
meadows with ten men having ordinary
muskets. He fired so balls while they
fired 40; all of his and only "a of theirs,
struck the target. Upon slight exam
ination we could see no objection to the
instrument.-Ncacark Adu., June 9.

Another Exposition of the R0-
chester EAGOckinSS.

The following letter appears in the
Honesdale (Penn.) Herald, of the 5th
inst. Il noticed in the n Y. Herald, of
the 30th ult., the substance of deposi-
ton made by Mrs Norman Culver, of
Arcadia, n. Y, as sister-in-law of the
Fox girls, or original Rochester knock
ing mediums. Mrs. Culver says she was
let into the secret by one of these girls,
and declares that the raps are made by
the toe joint; and says, that in order to do
the rapping effectively, the feet must be
soaked in warm water, or otherwise kept
warm.
To corroborate this statement, | here
by certify, (and swear, if required,) that
there is young lady of my acquaintance,
of the highest respectability, in this town,
who can make swapping noises similar to
the spirit rappings, as they have been
described to me, and that without the aid
of warm water, or heating her feet in
any way; that she can make these raps
by the hour, without any inconvenience !;
and has been in the habit of doing it for
years, Especially when warming her feet
at the fire before retiring at night, SO
loud, her mother told me, that they could
be heard all about large room,) with
out any idea of turning the faculty Of
swapping her toe-joints to account, much
less to use them for holding communion
with invisible spirits. She has not tried
to make these sounds seem to be on the
ceiling or on table. but | have no doubt
she could do SO by little practice a.
mong strangers to her faculty, and not
knowing whence the sounds come.
AS to answering questions by the raps,
Mrs. Culver, is not SO clear; but by close
observation Of the countenances of ques-
tioners, and having them try several
times, as Mrs. Culver says, | have no
doubt that the young lady alluded to, or
any other ordinarily shrewd person, could
soon learn to answer many questions cor
rectly. As to the moving of tables about
by unseen hands, Mrs. Culver is rather
foggy; would like to have her explain
the way that it is done more plainly, if in
deed it ever has been done, which |, for
one, do not believe. Thus it seems that
the trick is exposed, in part, at least, and
that spirit rapping will soon have to go
the way of its kindred humbugs Re-
spectfully.
