Remedy for umatism.

The New England Farmer recommends
the following recipe as a simple and inval-
liable remedy for rheumatism: "Take
half pint of spirits of turpentine, to which
add half an once of camphor; let it stand
till the camphor is dissolved, then rub it
on the parts affected, and it will never fail
of removing the complaint. Flannels
should be applied after the part is well TO-
mented with tupentine. Repeat the ap-
piication morning and evening. 1t is saia
to be equally available for burhs, scalds,
bruises and sprains, never failing of sue
cess"

is a candidate for reelection, and that
he is using all means which he thinks
proper to advance that end is equally
evident. He seems to think moreover
that to secure the South will be to
ensure his success. Hence his out-of-
the way and labored efforts to argue
the cause of Slavery and denounce all
Anti-Slavery sentiment and action, in
his Annual Message. Hence his Spe
cial Message solely TO upbraid Recdcr
and the Free State men Of Kansas.
And hence too his last cffort-No. 5
in the shape of 4 PROCLAMATION" ="
dated lIth inst. This document has
at first sight a fair and peaceful look;
6ut close scrutiny of its terms, and
q comparison Of it with his previous
published views, will show it to he
the most Jesuit;cal and mischievous
of all his efforts TO aid in forcing
Slavery upon the Freemen of Kansas
against :he will of its actual settlers.
1t will be rccollected at the outset.
that Pres. Pierce recognizes as lawful
the bastard Legislature elected by the
Missouri bordcrcrs; and consequently,
that the ruffians appointed to fill all
the Offices by that Ley islatuIe, togo
ther with all the odious and proscrip-
tive Laws passed by that Legislature,
arc legal, and binding upon all good
citizens. But nine-tcnths of the real
citizens Of Kansas have from the first
denounced that Legislature and all its
acts as fraud and imposition and
have quietly taken the steps necessary
to erect an honest Republican Gov
ernment on the true Sovereignty prin-
ciple laid down by Michigan, Califor-
MIA, and other Territories, before their
admission as States.
The Proclamation before US, in the
spirit and letter Of It's avowals, places
its appreciation upon all the acts OF
that Legislature, and will support il
by all the power of the Nation. ANY
act in SUPPORT Of that Legislature and
its tools, will be considered patriotic
and legal. But any act AGAINST thai
Legislature-and any attempt, from
within or without, to enforce the Free
State Constitution-isd denounced as
factious and fanatical, and incurrine
Executive vengeance and condigI
punishment.
In short, FRANKLIS PIERCE put:
under his protection the Missouri
mobocrats and all efforts made TO ge
Slavery fastened upon Kansas, which
he considers to be legal /: while every
movement for Liber.y is denounced az
illegal, and Free State men outlawcd
Just as King Georges Governors out
lawed the Wings of '16. The mel
who withstood the Regular troops a
Lexington and Concord. also opposed
the legal Authority" they too were
rebels, as Pierce by implication calls
those who strive for Freedom fol
Kansas but they loved LIBERTY more
than they feared arbitrary and op
prcssivc Power.
The effect of all this is evidently tt
encourage the Slavery mobocracy no
only to continue their murderous ont
RACES upon the Free State men. bu'
to expect payment for the same from
the United States Treasury, undel
prctence of enforcing the laws!

Pennsylvania Legislature.

Mr.. Browne presented remonstrance,
sieued by five thousand four hundred and
twenty.six women Of Philadelphia, against
the repeal of the Liquor Law. It was un-
rolled and read, reaching across the entire
Hall.
The judiciary Committee reported ad-
versely upon the bill, changing the venue
in the case Of Passmore Williamson vs.
John K. Kane, from Delaware county to
Philadelphia.
The bill to abolish the Office Of County
Superintendent of Common Schools was
also reported, with negative recommend
alton.
Both branches Of the Legislature to-day
adjourn until the "Wednesday following.
TIE several license bills still drag in
the Senate, and there is no prospect Of
speedy action. One thing is clear, how
ever-the repeal bill of the House will
not pass the Senate without stringent
substitute for the present law. Browne S
substitute passed the Senate in place OF
Wilkins.
PERsoNAL.-Ex-Gov. Ritner visited US
a few days ago, weaaing his more than
three score years and ten, yet still an ac-
tive and vigorous man. His interest in
public affairs seems not to abate with age,
and his familiarity with the political strug-
giles of the State and nation during the
last half century, is indeed remarkable
He still resides on his farm in Cumberland
county, giving his personal attention to its
management, and until few years ago he
always drove his own team. He is now
76 years of age, and looks hale enough tc
have another quarter Of century in store
for him.
Senator Douglass, of Illinois, stopped
here over night last week, on his way te
Washington. He attracted little notice,
and received no special attention from hi:
party friends.

tum vu Friday last. He spent severa
days here, giving his personal attention te

The House of Representatives, which
with Mr.. Beck forced into Mr.. M'Ghee'
seat, has just the even two-thirds of Dem
oerats, illustrated temperate ideas o
economy and reform, last week, by vo,iu:
to adjourn from the 18th to the 25t
inst.-a period of ten days; but the Sen
ate could not be driven into that extrava
gance, and the House then took five days
when it could not get frolic of ten. Be
tween voting adjouruments, jostling fairl
elected members out Of their seats, intro
ducing Slavery into our State, by forciu
the right of transit, and chartering jest
itical Monasteries, the present House seem
likely to win an unenviable fame. 81
weeks of the session have passed, and be
yond the unconditional repeal of tho Ii
cense law, the House has done little o
nothing but wrapgle on ultra politica
. questions.-Ibtd.

BEAR HUSr.-Gen. Patnan, Outdone.
One day last week, large bear was
seen on the Schrader branch, and num-
Der Of hunters turned out to capture bruin.
He was tracked through the snow for three
days, and finally found securely cnsconed
in his den, fearful looking cave near the
bank of the creek. All efforts to dislodge
him from his retreat having failed, WM
NoRTHRop made preparations for "beard.
ing the bear in his den." Furnishing
himself with torch and his trusty rife,
and with a rope tied to one leg, a Ia Put
nam, to expediate his retreat, should it be
necessary, he entered the cave. The as
cent, FOR about eight feet, was noarly per-
pendicular, aud crawling about twelve far
ther the aperture widened sufficiently to
allow of his standing upright. The light
of his torch showed him the bear sitting
upon his haunchss at the farther side of
the cavern, awaiting the attack. Aiming
at the eyes, which cleaned from the re-
flection of the torchlight, he fired, and
made his exit as speedily as possible. Ha-
wing every confidence that bis aim had
been true, and the shot efectual, in ,
short time he re-entered, and found the
anima! dead. A rope having been procur-
cd aud fastened to the bear, by the aid of
,bose outside, after much exertion be was
drs xn outside. He was found to be
monst, aus animal, weighing over 500 lbs.
