A PHYSIOLOGICAL. CURIosITY.-Ine doctors IN
New York have been experimenting upon the
Canadian st. Martin, who recently arrived In
that city, and whose digestive organs are eX-
posed to observation in consequence OF refusal
of gun-shot wound in his stomach to heal over
The experiments of DR.. Beaumount with this
individual are already celebrated. On Satur-
day afternoon a meeting Of several eminent
physicians was held for the purpose of seeing
this celebrated parsonage, and witnessing some
experiments. The Ecealng Post says:
1.-THE first experiment performed was that OF
introducing the thermometer into the stomach
through the opening, from which its temperature
was acertained to be l01 Fahrenheit. DR.. Bun
ting next introduced into the stomach the gum
elastic catheter and extracted nearly an ounce
and g half of gastric juice. which was presented
to DIR. Griscom, and examined by him and 9th
ers, as to its taste and other properties. The
third experiment consisted-in causing the pa
tient to drink two tunblers Of water, which was
Immediately afterwards poured out through the
orifce into the basin held by DR.. Bunting. The
experiments being concluded, various questions
were propounded to Dr.. Bunting in regard to
the time consumed. in the digestion OF various
foods In reply, he observed that the carrot
would consume between five and SIX hours;
while rare roast beef would thoroughly digest
in an hour and half Melted butter would
Lobster was comparatively easy Of digestion.
Upon the application of the gastric juice to q
piece of purple tissue paper, the color at once
faded In relation to the patients health, DR..
Bunting observed that it had been uniformly
excellent, having, since his recovery from the
first effects of the wound, supported large fam
lily by his daily labor.
The experiments do not differ materially from
those made by DR.. Beaucamp."

of fifty years of age, of a spare frame, but ap-
parently capable of considerable endurance.
He is in excellent bodily health, and has much
vivacity of manner. The opening in the stom-
ach has had no injurious effect upon his health,
nor has it prevented him from pursuing active
and severe labors. 1t is necessary, however,
for him always to maintain a compression
against the orifce, while eating or drinking, to
prevent the contens of the stomach from passing
out through it, He is now on his way to Eu-
rope under the auspices of DR.. Bunting, of Mon
treal.

A BEAUTIFUL SUMNER SoNG.-We copy the
following beautiful hymn to Summer from the
writings of an ancient poet.
'Thou makest, o Lord, the outgoing of the
morning and evening to rejoice Thou visitest
the earth, and waterest it; thou greatly enrich
est it with the river of God, which is full of wa
ter; thou preparest them corn, when thou hast
so provided for it thou waterest the ridges there
of abundantly; thou makest it soft with showers;
thou blessest the spring thereof; thou crownest
the year with goodness, and thy paths drop fat
ness They drop upon the paths of the wilder
ness, and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are clothed with focks; the val
leys are also covered with corn; they shout for
Joy, they also sing"

can mould her children, however diverse their
dispositions, into good and noble men and wo
men. And by leading in all things, true and
beautiful life, she can refine elevate and splritu-
alZe all who come within her reach, SO That,
with others of her sex emulating and assisting
her. she can eventually do more to regenefate
the world than all the statesmen or reforEers
that ever legislated. She can do as much, alas /!
perhaps even more, to degrade man. If she

The Future.

Where err our banner aaunts beneath the stars,
Its mimic splendors and its c.oud-like bars,
There shall Free Iabor's hardy children stand,
The equal soveregns of q slaveless land.
And when at last the hunted bison tires,
And dies o'ertaken by the squatter's fires
And westward, wave by wave the living food
Breaks on the snow-line of majestic Hood
And lonely Shasta listening hears the tread
OF Europe's fair haired children, Hesperled:
And gazing downwarls through his hoar-locks sees
The tawny Asian climb his giant knees,
The Eastern sea shall hush his waves to hear
Pacifc's surf-boat answer Freedoms cheer,
And one long rolling fire of triumph run
Between the sunrise and The sunset gun

The West.

Then with burst Of music, touching all
The keys of thrifty life--the miil-sream's fall,
The engines pant along its quiyering rails,
The anyil's ring, the measured beat of fails
The sweep of scythes, the reapers whistled tune,
Answering the summons of the bell Of noon,
The woodn1an's hail along the river shores,
The steamboats, signal. and the dip of oars
Slowly the curtain rose from OF a land
Fair as Go5's garden. Broad Oh either hand
The golden wheat fields glistened in the sun,
And the tall maize its yellow taSsels spun
Smooth highways set with hedgerows living green
With steepled towns through studded yistas seen,
The school house murmuring with its hiye-ke swarm
The brook-bank whitening in the grist-mill's storm
The painted farm house shining through the leaves
OF fruted orchards bending at its caves,
Where live again around the Western hearth,
The homely oh time virtues of the North;
Where the blithe housewife rises with the day,
And well paid labor counts his task play.
And, grateful tokens of Bible free,
And the free Gospel of Humanity,
OF divers sects and different names the shrine,
One of their faith, whateer their outward signs,
Like varying strophes of the same sweet hymn
From many prairie's swell and rivers hriIn.
A thousand church spires sanctify the air
OF the calm Sabbath, with their sign OF prayer

Black Republican Principles.

Last year about the time that the star of
knowNothingism began to wane it was Civ
en- out BY certain disappointed ofice-seekers,
that new party was about to be organized
party eminently patriotic in its principles
and objects, and consequently worthy of the
exalted appellation of the Republican Party
of the country. Notwithstanding the -four
ish of trumpets with which the advent of this
new organization was hailed, every sensible
man in the country on examining it, instantly
perceived that it was nothing more than a
fungus, which had sprung from the putrid
mass of decaying Know -Nothingism, and
which, Ike its illustrious predecessor, dying
before arriving at maturity, would be regard
ed as nothing more, than "a schoolboys tale,
the wonder of an hour" This new party has
as yet made but little progress in Cambria
The attempt to effect an organization in this
place, resulted in perfect s. fizzle," and we
understand 'Sanbo," has been equally as
unsuccessful in JohnstcYn. We understand
that a number of ''Nigger '' worshipping"
Yankees from ja5m0uRt or Maine, arc active
ly engaged in barking for Fremont and Day
ton, in the northern section of this county
but we are inclined to suspect they will find
it an uphill business, in converting the yeo-
manry of that section of the county from pa
triotic national Democrats into fanatical, union
hating abolitionists. If these Yankee gentle
mcn succeed in efecting anything in favor of
Abolitionism, they are better BcrIers than we
take them to be.
That the principles and designs Of the Black
Republican party are dangerous, nay, trea-
sonable, and that the election of Fremont and
Dayton, would result in the dissolution of the
Union, no unprejudiced man viii deny who
peruses the annexed collection of the senti-
ments of the most prominent leaders of The
Republican party. The sentiments contained
in the following extracts, compose the plat
form of principles which Fremont and
Dayton stand. We ask our friends to read

WV. B. REED, EsQ-Another important
letter from this gentleman will be found up
on our first page, in reply to an invitation to
attend the Democratic Mass meeting to be
held at Chambersburg tomorrow. 1t depicts
in graphic manner the evils likely to be in
ficted upon Pennsylvania, particularly upon
the Southern tier of counties should the mad
schemes of the supporters of Fremont to
bring about dissolution of the Union be sue
cessful The letter cannot fail to command
attention, it should be extensively circulated
and we commend it to the attention of our

Governor Of Kansas.

L he President has appointed Col John w
Geary of Westmoreland county, Governor of
Kansas in the place of Gov. Shannon who
has been removed. Col. Geary is well known
to the citizens of this county, having resided
for several years in their midst, and ouly left
them when called into the service of his coun-
try during the Mexican war. As captain of
the once large and fourishing company of
:" American Highlanders,' he marched to
Pittsburg, where upon the organization ofthe
Ind Pennsylvania Regiment he was elected
Lieutenant Colonel, and after the death of
Col. Roberts in Mexico was elected Colonel
upon the return of peace he was sent bv
President Polk to San Francisco, California
as Postmaster at that place, and subsequently,
became the first Mayor of that city.
Since his return to Pennsylvania, he has
resided in his native county, and called as nc
now is to the head of affairs in the distracted
territory Of Kansas, it is hoped that he will
be enabled to restore order in that region. =
The appointment has been confirmed bv the
Senate, and appears to be well received,

Black Republican Sentiments;

The tone and temper of the rampant Black

citizens, is very well indicated in tie fllow-
ing ''gems of thought" which have been re-

That will do very well but here is some
thing from an eminent Black Republican
which beats it:
cat recent Black Republican meeting in
Auburn, Fred Douglass said, among other
things, that it was the duty of every slave to
cut his masters throat!''
The reader is very well prepared we trust
now for the perusal of the following extracts
from late Fourth OF July Grafton delivered
by William Lloyd Carr ison, the NOTORIOUS
Abolition agitator Garrison said;
ITO me the path is plain To day [ dis

equalled hypocricy and transcendent oppres-

it Is "a covenant with death and an agreement
