Appointment at Hemlock.

The notice which appeared in our paper last
week Of the appointment Of Mr.. John Mullen, as
Postmaster at Hemlock, was premature. Mr..
Mullen has not yet received that appointment.
Some few weeks ago, the citizens of Hemlock
and vicinity asked for the appointment of Capt.
Henry Schnetberg, who has been Deputy Post
master at that place for the last year, and has CIV
en- general satisfaction. Among those who signed
the application for Capt Schnetberg, was Mr..
John Mullen.
Recently, the citizens in the neishborhood of
Hernlock, having learned that the appointment
would probably be given to Mr.. Mullen, and that
Capt. Sohnetberg would be snmmary discharged.
have demonstrated against the appointment of Mr.
Mullen inasmuch as Mr.. Mullen was not known
to them as candidate for the Office, and he had
signed the application for Capt. Schncthcrs. they
think it singular that the appointment should be
conferred upon him. s e
This is the situation of the MATER at present.
The remonstrance was signed very nllmcrously
end sets forth all the facts of the case. Regret
ting as we do that such is the case, we neyerthe-
less constrained to say, that in common justice
the wishes of the community in which the APP
pontment is to be made, should be regarded and
consulted. The citizens of Hemlock have per
feet right TO manage their business. We
may have more to say on this matter.

Blairsville Female Seminary.

We indebted to Rev. S. III. Sheply for copy
of tn Catsouge of the officers and members of the
Blsirsville Female Seminary. The institution ap-
pears to be in prosperous condition. The num-
Der of scholars now in ATTENDANCE is 40, and a
mong the number, we notice several from this
place and vicinity-1fufa Bttck, Summit, Jane
4. Ecans, Elizabeth II. Hutchison, Mary A..
Jones. Emily d. Roberts, Amaelia b. Thompson,
Ebensburg, and Frances j. Smith, Johnstown.
The location Of this institution is far more pref
ferabe than others. 1t is situated in Blairs-
vile, Pa.,-few towns possesses greater advan-
tages, having the turnpike from Pittsburg to Hol-
lislaysburg, and the Penna. Canal, pass through
through it; the Central Railroad passes within
two mile md and a half, with branch loa,ling to
the town. The building is three stories, so feet
in length by "A in breadth. The room arc pleas
ant and well arranged for the comfort and healn
Of the pupil; and we should judge that everything
has been done to make it one of the most popular
institution in Western Pennsylvania

YOU will be true to the sacred obligation you
have taken, and to the promises you have
made to me. But if you are not, you viii not
be permitted to withdraw from your C.
but you will be expelled, and notices will be

whole camp is eager for the assault. Gen
eral Canrobert never rides through the camp
without being followed by cries of 'EaSsaut,

CA witness of the sally of the Vladimir
from the port, assures me that, though she
did 60 out, she proceeded timidly enough,
and as soon as the Terrible got under way
steamed back again as fast as she could. In
returning the Vladimir missed the small en-
trance, and ran foul of the mast of one of
the sunken ships, which protruded melan
choly enough out of the water. The Eng
lish feet are in great hopes that Sir Edmund
Lyons will succeed Admiral Dundas III the
command. The latter is as unpopular with
the fleet as Lord Raglan is with the army
Sir Edmund Lyons, on the contrary, is look
ed upon as the most active, clever, and ener-
getic officer Of the Black Sea fleet. 1t is a
fact that the mastery embarcation OF the
troops at Vama, the we'll organized plan OF
sailing, and the successful landing at Eupa-
toria were all managed by him. 1t is, also,
fact that no man is so we'll acquainted
with the Russo European and Asiatic coast
as Sir Edmund Lyons, as he devoted the idle
time at Beicos and kavarna to investiga-
tions and surveys. Of his daring he has, on
more than one occasion, given brilliant
proofs"

AtGuilford, Connecticut, is q stone house
which is the Oldest in the United States. 1t
was raised in the old Indian war before the
revolution, as fort. About twenty miles
east Of the stone house, on the Hommona-
suck" river, lived man whose name was
Stannard. By some means he had made
himself obnoxious to the Indians, and they
therefore seized him and held council, at
which it was determined to burn him. A
hot fire was accordingly made around a
stake, and Stannard, with his arms bound
with thongs behind him, waited to be cook
ed, while the Indians went through with
their pow-wow. In the mean time Stannard
worked his hands clear of the thongs, and
seising "papoose from the back of a
squaw, tossed him into the middle OF the
fire, and the long-legged Yankee lcancd for
the stone house. Whether he made his mile
in 2.4O, more or less, we do not know; his
tory and tradition are silent. The doors Of
the stone house closed in upon Stannard just
as the whole tribe came bowling and yelling
to the wall. Stannard was safe but the

BARNUM IN THE CARs.--We understand
that when Mr.. Barnum left this city week
or two ago. it was in the cars on the Little
Miami railroad On his way to Columbus
his peculiar genius broke out. He spoke of
his knowledge of legerdemain and slight of
of whom was particularly overcome with
the old trick of placing quarter of dollar
on your knee, and placing card over the
piece of coin, and then lifting the card up
and finding the coin missing. The excited
young man said he would give FIVE dollars to
know how 10 do that smart thing. Barnum
said he would show him for that sum and
accordingly he instructed the excited young
man into the mysteries of the " card trick"
and pocketed the five dollars for his tuition.
We have this story from gentleman of un-
questionable veracity, who was in the cars
and saw the whole thing, including Barnum
pocketing the money.-[Cin. Gaz., JAM Goth.

been born nothing but girl baby she is sub.
iect to all these disqualifications from mere
accident Of birth" which so materially affect
woman's interest, and retard her progress in
the great march of life. Among those dis
qualifications Miss Caroline mentions " the
entire inability of woman TO seek as we'll as
accept husband TO openly assert her heart
felt preference and yeaming after the man of
her choice, and give, as we'll as receive. a
free and open declaration Of love- Is there
no one in Manchester who had I" the good
fortune to be born boy baby" who will
take pity on Caroline, and "put her out of
her misery" and avert revolution which
she says is impending. She threatens dire
things, but we have no doubt she will make
loving and dutiful wife, and smart one
too, for she has had the cuteness to get her
self we'll advertised gratis. Read the con-
clusion of her Declaration Of Indepen-
dence" and tremble for the result:
Against these exclusive privileges on the
part of the other sex, | with thousand
others of my own sex in this city earnestly
protest. And am authorized in their name,
and in their behalf, to declare that on and
after the Fourth of July. A. D. 1855. we
proclaim and publish to the world our inde-
pendence from all such cruel and unchris stian
restriction. And this is to give timely no.
tice to all single gentlemen. (widowers ex-
cluded) of industrious and temperate habits
in this city, that they must improve the few
remaining months to the best advantage for,
after the incoming Of the immortal Fourth.

heretofore restricted commerce Of love-" by
gallanting around modest youth, making
declarations, and popping questions.
