POISONING BY VIsrrrNG CARDs--In recent Jour
nal we have observed reports Of four cases of
poisoning in children, by the introduction Of visit
ing cards into the mouth. They all recovered,
though the symptoms were of an alarming char
acter. II should be generally known that in the
manufacture Of cards, in the enamiling and color
ing, various salts OF arsenic, copper and lead are
used, which are capable of producing very serious
sickness and even death. Children should not be
allowed TO play with them.

in the house excep some children, who gave the
alarm TO the neighbors, who went TO her assist

New TRRRIToRY.-The settlement of the new
territory acquired by the late treaty with Mexico
has already commenced from California. A party
of twenty-five left Los Angeles on the I'd of Octo-
Der, under The lead of Lieutenant Brady, who was
attached 70 the surveying party Of Captain Gray,
in The recent boundary commission. While on
that service he acquired very minute knowledge
of the territory along the line of exploration, and
gave such hatterng account of his discoveries
that preliminary party has started to take pos
session Of the choice spots which he Is capable Of
pointing out Ii is known in general terms that
there is fine agricultural and mineral region with
in the boundaries Of the Gadsden purchase. Ii is
moreover, stated with confidence that the portion
of Sonora along the northern routes travesed con-
tains placers and gold mines as Productive as any
that have been found in California The exped-
ton of Lieutenant Brady is not mere prospecting
trip but is based on actual knowledge derived
from personal explorations, and there very pros
porous settlement, 10 be largely increased by inn
migrants from California and Texas, is confidently
anticipated.
This party intends 10 erect a fort either at Tu-
macacari, or Calazabas, and il is understood that
authority Is TO be given TO the commanding gem
eral of the Pacific division 10 establish a military
garrison at the point which shall be selected as
most favorable.
new map Of the country acquired from Mex
leo is in preparation at San Francisco, which will
be an important addition 10 the geographical know
ledge ofthe day, II is described as exhibiting the
boundaries Of the newly acquired territory from
Mexico, laying down accurately the principal
points in the State of Sonora and portion ofChi-
huahua; also section of New Mexico and Cali
fornia bordering en- the Gila and Colorado and ex
tending 10 the parallel OF SO degrees north latitude
Ii has been compiled from actual surveys of
large portion of the country, and carefully COM
pared with all the recent surveys OF Gray, Bart
lett, Derby, Heintzelman and others who have
within late years explored this region.

COroner'S Inquest suspicion Of
F0uI PlaV.

Esquire Buck held Coroner's Inquest
on Thursday last, on the body of an un-
known man, whose corpse was found float
ing in the Delaware near the Collector S
office. The body had evidently been III
the water for some time and bore marks
of violence. It is said that five or six
holes we're cut on his head, and that be
had been otherwise bruised. We learn
by letter from the village of New Mar
ket, village on the Delaware river, near
the Monroe County line, that three Irish
men attacked a man about three or four
weeks ago, in that neighborhood and beat
him cruelty, and that the man has not
been seen since. 1t is suspected that they
killed him and threw his body in the riy-
er. We presume the matter will be in
vestigated by the legal authorities.-Eas-
ton ArgpS.'

stood that the names of gentlemen had
been given in to represent the county o, ,,
Erie, who were not regularly elected; and
he therefore desired to be Informed upon
what authority they appeared.
The President of the Convention stated
the question of Mr. F., and asked the
gentlemen referred to for response,
when Mr.. Alexander Russell, of Alleghe-
ny, stated that, in connection with anoth,
er gentleman, he had been requested to
represent the county of Erie, and that
they had accordingly taken their seats
but as they were clearly ruled out by the
resolution they would retire.
On motion of Mr., F!anigen, the Con
vention then proceeded to vote rtta r0ce
for candidates for the several offices, a
follows:

HeVCEUa Commissioners.

The Harrisburg Union says: The board Of
Revenue Commissioners is now in session.
and from the assessments decided on, it is ap,
parent that the labors Of the board are Likely
10 be protracted
II Is understood that commissioners are
much embarrassed with the valuations on real
estate in the several counties. The difficulty
most apparent, is the wide difference in the
relative valuation Of lands in adjoining coun,
ties. In some instances, we have heard o.
assessments Of good farming land at two OF
three dollars an acre; while lands Of like
quality in adjoining counties are valued at
some ten dollars Under embarrassment SO

the state tax on real estate, time is essential

ViIlainy in EastGn.

The Sentinel says that, few nights
since, a stranger was attacked in Easton
6y two desperate villains, and knocked
down upon the pavement. and in their
attempt to rob him, lie broke from them,
and made his escape into a house in the
neighborhood. No arrest.
The cellar of Il. w Barnet, of the
White Horse Hotel, was entered by bur
glars, few nights ago, and robbed OF
half beef and nine loaves Of fresh bread.
No clue to the rascals.
On Sunday evening week, an Irish
man entered into tie grocery store of Sam
uel Heinseleman. Mrs. HeinSleman see
ing the man in the store, asked him what
he wanted? He told her to give him all
the money she had, or he would kill her
Upon being told she had none, the man
threw himself over the counter, and took
about three dollars from the money draw,
er The william becoming frightened by
the screams of the lady, made his escape
but by some means dropped part of the
money in his fight, upon the pavement
No clue to the rascal.
An attempt was made one night last
week, to enter the residence Of \. II. Rec
der, Esq. The rascal tried to get in the
sleeping chamber, occupied by the family
upon the second floor. The scamps, fol
some cause, after pushing up the sash
and trying to force the inside shutters
gave up the attempt.

Resolved, That the Whig party, are in fa-
vor of just and equitable Homestead Bill,
and recommend to our Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress from Pennsylvania, to
aid in procuring the passage Of such q bill.
Resolved, That We congratulate the Dem
ocratic Party that the former differences be-
tween them ard theTNhig Party ,on the subject
of the banking Institutions of Pennsylvania,
are settled by resolution OF the late Democrat
ic Convention, recognizing and adopting the
Whir doctrine on that subject.
Resolved, That the Wing Party, now as
heretofore, will continue to urge the sale OF
the Public improvements as the only means
by which our heavy and oppressive taxes can
be reduced, and the ultimate payment of The
public debt be accomplished.
Resolved, That this Convention with en-
treme pleasure present to their constituency,
the Wing party of this State, the names OF
James Pollock of Northumberland, for GoFer-
nor, and George Darse of Allegheny, for Ca
nal Commissioner and Daniel NJ. Smyser OF
Montgomery, for Justice Of the Supreme Court:
because the gentlemen are not only faithful,
sound and tried Wings, but of approved abli.
ity and experience for their respective stations
and also honest, pure, and good men.
The resolutions were read by Mr.. Coffee,
of Blair county.
The thanks of the Convention were then
voted to the House of Representatives, fOr
the use of the Hall and to the officers, for
their faithful discharge of their general du-
ties; when the Convention ad journed Slnc de,
with three hearty cheers for the nominees.
4 After the adjournment mass meeting wa j
organized, by calling Col. Edie to the Chair,
and appointing several Vice Presidents and
E Secretaries. Speeches were made by Messrs.
Coffee, Benedict, and Casey, and great enthu-
siasm prevailed. A more respectable or spir-
tied Convention has not been held in the State
for years, and better candidates for any Offices
have never been presented for the sutfrages Of
the people. The augurles Of success are
cheering.
