ATTEMPTED BANK RoBBERY.-On Sunday
evening last, at 9 o'clock, as the clerk of the
Pynchon Bank, Springfield, Mass, was going
into the bank for the night, he was seized by
two men who had been awaiting him in the
dark passage. They demanded where the Cash.
Ter lived, which he refused to tell, when one of
them plunged a knife at his breast, which pen
etrated his coat but struck a thick wallet with
coin it, probably preventing a serious wound.
The clerk then shouted murder, and the bur
glerS fed. No clue to the would-be robbers
has yet been obtained.

WAR WITH ENGLAND !

We hope that the warlike aspect of the late
foreign news has not awakened apprehensions
Of a rupture between this country and England,
in the minds of any of our readers. They need
not indulge in fears, for there is not the remot-
est prospect of such a disastrous contingency.
The indications are not alarming enough to
effect the nerves Of the most timid old lady in
the country. Divesting the whole matter of
the buster and braggadocia of the newspapers.
and the two countries have no dispute, and no
matter of disagreement which can possibly. lead
to a quarrel. We consider a war between the
United States and England as impossible with
in the next quarter of a century. The latter
country has now on her hands quite as much
as much she can attend to, and will not be
likely to increase her burdens by such a load
as a war with us. On the other hand, she is
one of the heaviest consumers of our cotton,
and a rupture with her would depreciate the
price Of this southern staple, as well as the pro-
perty employed in its production. The great
interests of Slavery are against a war with
England, and as that influence controls the
legislation and diplomacy of the country, we
may safely conclude that such a war will never
occur, except when every other mode of settle
ment has been exhausted. The same, indeed,
may be said Of any war, that does not tend to
the acquisition of slave territory. And then,
it is easier to acquire a slice, nowadays, from
our needy ~neighbors, by purchase, and Uncle
Sans treasury abundantly supplied with the
requisite for indefinitely extending our slave
area without the scandal of q war.

UTAH AND THE PLAINs-The mail from the
Salt Lake settlements has arrived at Indepcn.
dence, Mo, after a trip Of 30 days. Provi
sions were reported to be scarce at Salt Lake
city. The Mormon emfgrant trains were ar.
irving daily in good condition. Owing to the
danger from the Indians in the mountains, and
to prevent white men from furnishing them
with arms and ammunition, the traders in all
that country are ordered to repair to Fort
Laramie, and reside there during the winter.
Gen. Harvey intended going into winter
quarters soon on White river. Considerable
snow had fallen in the mountains, and the ice
in the Platte was some ten or twelve inches
thick. Plenty of water and grass on the
route in. The party brought in three passen-
gers. The Indians are considered very dan
gerous on the route. This party travelled with.
out an escort.
Gen. Summers command, which had started
to reinforce Gen. Harvey, had been ordered
back to Fort Leavenworth, where they will re-
main during the winter. 1t is said that Gen.
Harvey will spend the winter in the states
the elements on White river being too severe
for his health.

CARRYING IT TOO FAR.-The market for bread
stuffs on this side the water is said to be much
above the advanced prices ruling in Liverpool
and London. The French nov buy cheaper
there than here. The New-York Post says
that the shipments now making are at one to
two dollars including charges per barrel more
for flour than in Liverpool and this fact alone
renders bills drawn against them unsafe
Speculation has been carried too far. The ad.
vance in the foreign markets has been more
than anticipated long ago, and as the daily
supplies in the New-York have much increased
of late, prices are declining. We note another
decline in -four and grain in the market, and
the tendency is downward.

DIsGRACEFUL MOB IN MAINE-An ATTEMPT
to lay the cornerstone of a Catholic church in
Bath, Me, on Sunday last, was broken in I'D
on by a gang of rowdies and prevented. We
find the following account of the affair in The
Bath Tribune.
On Sunday, as the Catholics attempted to
hold religious services appropriate to laying
the cornerstone OF a new church, a large con-
course assembled to witness the exercises,
which were prevented by rowdyism of the low
est sort, and violence. During the forenoon a
wooden cross which had been erected was for
chilly pulled down. Early in the afternoon an
American flag was raised amid the cheering of
a considerable number of persons, who showed
themselves hostile to the exercises and the oc-
casion. Mr.. Russell, acting mayor, pulled the
flag down amid shouts of hustle him out"
and Kisses. But on his leaving it was again
put up.
A rush was made for the cornerstone which
had been previously laid, and several attempts
made to remove it from its setting, which was
prevented, as we learn, by the exeLtions of
Marshal Walker and Mr.. Constable Leach,
who kept the crowd at bay. There was much
bad talk, shouting, fighting, &c. The Catho-
lies, finding they would be opposed in their exer-
%cises, quietly withdrew and left the lawless
mob in possession of the field. No attempt
that we hear of was made to arrest any of the
disturbers of the peace up to 4 O'Clock. At
about 5 o'clock, the crowd having accomplish
ed their objects, and prevented the religious
exercises, gradually dispersed. Seeing the
temper of the people, the bishop sent word to
his parish that the exercises would not be held.
Some injury was done to private property, and
nuisances committed of which it is not decent
to speak. We blush to think that in this city
of churches and law and order the Sabbath
should be broken by such scenes of lawlessness
and violence. We are mortified that a few
low and irresponsible persons should be per-
mitted to again blacken the character of our
city.

ARREST OF BOGUS MONEY DEA1ERs.-On
Friday evening two men giving their names as
VIM. +. Stoddard and j. W. Lee were ares
ted for passing bogus money. The sample We
saw was a five dollar note on the Easton Bank
Kansas Territory-the Kansas T." being in
very small letters, placed in the lower part of
the shading of the figure five on the right end,
and the two so interviewer as to make it al
most imperceptible. The note bears date Sept.
20, 1855, No. 20, and is signed Geo. Hervey,
President, E.. Alton, Cashier. The engraving
is very coarse, and many of them, we are told,
very badly printed. On searching the parties
arrested, a large amount of the same kind of
currency, but on different banks, was found.
and some papers, agreeing to certain regula-
tons in passing it. After q hearing before
Justice Ulmer, they were both committed to
answer at court.-Lycoming Gazette.

next meeting on the best method of teaching
Geography.
Mr.. Morrow offered the following resolu-
ton =
Resokeed, That the present system of taxa
ton for the support of the common schools OF
Pennsylvania is the true one.
Mr.. Morrow supported the resolution at
considerable length when Mr.. Gqyer moved
as an amendment % L.l.3U t-s3& ~
That the principle recognised by the pre-
sent system of taxation for the support of
schools, in this State, is a correct one, and that
it should be so extended in its application as
to make all the property in the commonwealth
equally liable for the education Of all the chill
dren." II.
Mr.. Guyer was heard on the subject, and in
reply to some of the arguments of Mr.. Nor
row Messrs. Coburn and Booth continued
the debate, when the further consideration OF
the subject was postponed till next meeting.
DR.. Holmes, from a committee appointed on
the subject, reported the following obituary
notice of the late Miss f. f. Hendrick, a mem
Der of the Association, which was adopted =
"Miss FLORA Z. HENDRIoK, one of the first
members of the Bradford County Teachers
Association, died Sept. 18th, 1855. As a
Christian, the character of the deceased was
marked by decision and energy, and her forti
tudc in suffering was but the result of the sim
pie faith which had sustained her through life
as q scholar, she was conspicuous, and her ha
bits of thought were clear and accurate deep
" impressed with the Importance and RESPONSE
bilitv of the station of q teacher, she shranl
from no toll which could contribute to the wei
fare Of her pupils and during SOM years o.
experience in teaching, her labors were crown
ed with eminent success.
Resolred, That the Association profoundly
feeling the loss SO soon, of so valuable a mem
Der, do also tender to the b"ereaved friends O
our departed sister our heartfelt sympathy"
The Rev. Mr.. Corss made some remarks oil
the character of the deceased, and addressed
to the members of the Association appropriate
considerations of coincidence and admonition
P. d. Morrow, Esq, was appointed to de
liver the address at next meeting.
Messrs. o. j. Chubbuck, c. F. Phelps, anC
D. B. Cotton were appointed a business com
mittee.
The Association then adjourned to meet a

land strictness and pleasure. The recommen-
dation Of the Governor to set apart Thursday
last, as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to the
giver Of every good and perfect gift for His
bounteouS mercies during the past year, was
observed ill this place by a general suspension
of business. Divine service was performed in
the forenoon, in all the churches while during
the day, many a family, separated during the

stone. We trust our readers have enjoyed
their share of the blessings of the past year,
and will be able to welcome the next Thanks
giving day, with equal cause for gratitude and

The WESTERN Hoe TRADE.-The hog killing
season will at Louisville about the
10th inst. The Courier of Monday says =
1t has been estimated that 800, 600 hogs
would be slaughtered round the falls this sea-
son, but we now think the number will exceed
325, 600 head, and probably $4,000. There
is now a better feeling in the market than has
prevailed for sometime, though in consequence
of the continued stringency in money matters
many buyers are still holding back. The pre-,
vailing quotations for good hogs to be deliver,
ed at the pens are GAG IA cents net, while
drovers in the country are asking 4 II cents,
on time. We hear of a sale of 1000 head at
6 cents net, and learn that several lots have
been offered at 6 l8 cents net.
The Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday, says
Hogs are held as heretofore, with great firm.
ness, and from % to 80 per cent. above the
views of buyers. Holders of heavy hogs con
tend for s., and there are no sellers below
So IS for delivery this month, but these rates
being above the views of buyers, prices must
be set down as nominal.
The st. Louis I~nteHigencer, of the 9th says
Hogs were offered to-day at Sc, but buyers
at that figure were not about. The rate up the
country appears to be 5a5 25, and slow at the
latter price.
The Indianapolis Ind. } Journal, of the 10th,
says -
Hogs are inactive, at least since the resto-
ration of the Hog Law, which confines them to
their pens. There is little doing among our
packers ; S. so appears to be the only rate
at which we can quote them. We heard OF
some small lots taken at that yesterday.
The Hopkinsyille (Ky.) Press, of the 9th,
says =:
At a sale about I miles west Of this city, on
the Sth inst, a lot of stock hogs, which would
average about As pounds gross, sold for 81 80
cash per head, or about ten cents per pound.
A lot of fine pork hogs also were sold at IS "a
per 100 pounds gross.
