DROWNED.

A man, supposed to have been intoxi-
Gated, mounted the roof of the West Branch
bridge, at Northumberland, one evening
last week, and amused himself for some
time by trying how near TO the edge he
could slide without falling over. After a
number OF successful essays, he slid entirely
over the ewes, fell into the river and was
drowned. His body was recovered in a
few minutes, but life was extinct.
A boy named McAllister, of Danville,
fell from freight boat passing down the
canal opposite this place, on Saturday even
ing. He sank Immediately, and although
dilgent search was made, his body was
not recovered until Sunday evening. The
water in the canal at that place is about
ten feet in depth. His remains were Ia
ken charge of by his friends.

CHOLERA AND ITS CAuSE-We have re-
ceiyed from the author. j. X Chauberl, NJ.
D., Of New York, a copy of pamphlet, in
which he treats of the Cholera, lis causes,
and method of cure. According TO Dr.. c.
cholera is caused by nhaling a small erech
insect, disceinab!e only with the microscope,
and existing only where cholera EXISTS. He
found lhe insect by batting his arm; and
wh.re cholera exists, millions of this minute
insec, will be found upon The arm by using Il
microscope. These insects he thinks, are
produced by malarious exhalalions, and car
ried from place TO place by the wind. They
produce inflammation in the stomach BY
fixing upon the mucous membrane, and th.
inflammation Is transmitted TO the liver,
through the duet leading tIom the stomach
10 the gall bladder and by general irritation
of the nerves, produce the symloms of chol-
era. This is the theory his cure he keeps
TO himself, till the governments of various
countries, compensate him for his discovery
lie is sand TO have been very successful in
the cure af cholera, and 50 have others, by
the means which he condemns as mal-prac.
'ice, which he says has killed more than
cholera.-Lcdgc.

The system OF voting Tor all the officers
on single slip of paper opens the door to
the practise OF frauds upon unsuspecting
voters. A number of tickets are in circu-

each voter to read the whole of his ticket

COMMUNICATIONS.
FoR THE AMERICAN.

Mn. EDITOR Il observed a communica-
ton in your "Deutscher Amerikaner," over
the signature of "Ein Dentscher" setting forth
the claims of David Martz, Esq, 10 the office
OF Register and Recorder. also observed
a communication in the last Sunbury Ameri-
can, in which a "Democrat" takes "Ein
Deuischer" TO task for misrepresentation
falsehood &c. Now as regards both of these
communications, | have only TO say that they
were written by persons. who are either lg-
moran, of all that transpired in that conven-
tion, or strangely prejudced in favour OF their
favoriio candidate. 1t is well known fact,
that both Martz and Pursel, got every dele
gate that belonged TO them, and more too
Did Dennis Buoy get all tha, belonged TO him,
even on the first ballot, when those that
were taken from him by fair means, or with
his consent, no, far from il. The independ-
ent voters OF Northumberland county will
tell on next Tuesday at the ballot box vino
was chisclcd at the convention. They talk
OF poverty, large families, aged parents, &c !,
now let us take Bnoy's circumstances, and
compare them with those of his competitors,
he is a poor man who has not even house
of his own TO live in, with family of help
less children TO support, and nothing 10 do ii
with, but the labor of his own hands, neither
is it his own fault that he is so poor, he has
had very bad health for several years and is
not at present able TO bear much labor. AS
to his qualifications he is inferior to no man
in the field having business experience Of
many years. His popularity at home, ought
10 be sufficient recommendation as 10

in the township in which he lives, that he
