Ri0t in Chic.

1t was reported few days ago that q
serious riot had occurred at Somerset
Ohio, at an exhibition of Welch's Hippo
dro6ie. The Columbus Statesman of the
10th inst. gives the following account:
The cause of the disturbance was q
pipe. An Irishman was smoking pipe
in Welsh's IIippodrome. lie was reques,
ted by Snowman to stop, as it was "dis-
gustful" to the ladies. He refused.--
The Snowman then threatened to put
him out, which threat ended in the show
man being put out by several Irishmen.
The Snowman was pretty severely hand
died, but was rescued by other showmen
standing near. An Irishman was killed
in the melee, which 50 exasperated the L
rish Of the neighborhood, at work on the
railroad, that they arose in body, seized
the arms Of State, got the cannon, rammed
it with railroad spikes and stones, and
were about to fire on the show and show
men, but for rat-tail file which some
boy had spiked the touch-hole with.
The Governors proclamation, as we
understand, was issued, requiring the
Sheriff of Perry to retake the State arms
at all hazards. He sent to GAINESVILLE and
Lancaster for troops. The GAINESVILLE
company, commanded by Captain Gra-
ham, arrived in Somerset at six o'clock
last night, and as We hear, proceeded to
disarm the rioters. Fourteen Irishmen
so runs the rumor, we're shot down by
the GAINESVILLE troops. We hear, too,
that one Snowman, an offensive fellow,
was shot, in'an alley, when taking care of
his horses, and that another had his face
severely injured by a bullet. Another
had his teeth smashed in. The Hippo
drome had one man and six horses Kill
led
Later intelligence informs US of the
arrest of the murderer of Welch's man,
and the ringleader of the riot. The pub
lie arps have been recovered, and all is
now quiet.

State Convention, without Instructions
but passed resolution as follows:
ReSoltod, That the Democracy Of Berks
county regard with pride and pleasure
the past career Of their distinguished fell
low citizen, the Hon. VIM. Strong; that
they believe that his great abilities, strict
integrity, and devotion to the principles
of the Democratic party, render him EN-,

Chair of the Commonwealth, and that
they confidently look forward to his ele'
vation to that distinguished station at nc

TIE JUDGESHIP.
F,vo Candidates in the Field

The Democracy Of this-thc 22d Judi
cial District, have been sorely perpIexed
with the Judgeship question for some
time past, and the result of their delib-
crations is the nomination of two persons
for President Judge, viz: Hon. JAMES
NJ. PORTER, of Easton, and Hon. NJ. NJ
DIMMIcK, of this place.
On TUESDAY last the Dimmick Judi
cial Conferees Of this District met in
this place, and nominated the Hon. NJ
NJ. Dimmick. The vote in the Conven-
ton was not unanimous.
a Resolution declaring N. NJ. Dimmick
the unanimous choice Of the Convention
was offered, but was not agreed to
the Wayne County Conferecs dissenting
Daring the time the Dimmick men were
holding their Convention, the anti Dim
mick men held theirs in this place, and
nominated the Hon. JAMES NJ. PORTER,
of Northampton, and adopted Resolu-
tions, highly recommending him as suit
able person for President Judge of this
District. The proceedings of their Con-
ycntion will be found in another column OF
to-day's Jefersonian."
As lawyer Mr.. Porter maintains a
high reputation, and his fitness for the
Office il question, cannot be disputed by
any one. From what We learn from the
several Counties in the District, especial
ly from Wayne, We think his election is
certain.

Cure for KydrOpElObia.

DIR. Cooper, of this borough, claims tc
have discovered certain cure for this
terrible complaint. In consequence Of
the inability of patients to take liquids
he has reduced the ingredients to an ex.
tract and then into pills. 1t is said to be
a sovereign remedy. The receipt is-Al-
coholic extract of Red Chickweed and
Skullcap in equal parts, made into four.
grain pills; three given three times day
for nine days. Spasms will be stopped il
twenty-four hours; and the continuance
for nine days is to prevent relapse, by
bracing up the system against the disease
Should this prove a certain cure for Ily-
drophobia, it will be feather in the

Mechanics HantGd,

The Memphis Hhig says there is a
great scarcity Of good mechanics in that
city now, consequently prices have ad-
yanced to a pretty high rate. More par
ticularly is this true Of Brickmasons, as
there are pressing demands for at least
thirty or forty to carry on work already
commenced and under contract. Master
builders are afraid to contract any further
for fear they will not be able to get hands
Brick Masons are now getting from Sd
to 81 a day, and cannot be had even at
these prices.
