The manner in which the affairs of this
Borough haye been conducted for the last
few months is an outrage on the taxpayers,
who are already oyerburdened with high
Locofoco State and County tax. They
have been laboring on the streets, and ex-
pending large sums of money TO no pur-
pose. One instance of this kind We will
here name Several weeks ago, they en-
gagged several teams and had quite num-
Der of hands employed in hauling and
spreading yellow mud all over Ju.iana
Street. A second time, at heavy expense,
they spread fine gravel from the hill-the
Council was informed that the street, in
consequence, would be o perfect nuisance,
almost impossible, on account of the mud
and dust, but they would not listen to the
advice or the complaints of citizens living
on the Street. The result vas as foretold,
a continual cloud of thick and almost inn
penetrable dust, and dust on the street an
kle deep. They were consequently compel
red to tinker at the street again for the
third time, and they have for several days
had five horses and carts, and some six or
eight persons employed in hauling and
spreading gravel frsm the creek, which
they ought to have done in tie first place,
thereby saving to the Borough large
amount of money. Our taxes, for Bor-
ough purposes, are enormous, and the man
ner in which the hard taxes wrung from our
people have been expended and squandered
is gross outrage. Large sums have been
misappliei, aud mis-spent as IN this case
Streets have been repaired, and after they
were done with them, they were in worse
condition than they were at first We hope
our citizens will look TO their own inter-
ests hereafter, and hurl from their place.
these Locofocos who have no regard for
their interests. We may return to this sub
jcct again.

WILMoT'S LETTER.

We publish in to-day's paper, the letter
Of the Hon. David Wilmot, in reply to the
interrogutories of the American State Ceun-
ell which met at Altoona, last April. The
reply is such as might be expected of the
man, straight t-forward, and to the point
On the subject of Americanism, he is all
that tho most ardent supporter of the prin-
ciples of that great and patriotic party
could desire. He answers each in
terrogatory in clear and emphatic tone Of
approval. Our American friends in this
County, will, We hope, all read and ponder
over this manly letter, and if there be any
who have heretofore doubted the American
ism of Wilmok and had determined to
vote for Hazlehurst, (the candidate of the
few Phiiadclphians, who use Amcricanisln
as blind to cover up their apostaey to that

A AREsINGATIoN.-.AC Chaiienge.-- Judge
Wilmot has resigned his Judgeship and
challenged General Packer to meet him on
the ros,rum, there to discuss before the peo-
pie the various political topics of the day.
Let General Packer accept this challenge,
and our word for it, if he has the intelli-
gence it is said he has, and the honesty
which candidate for the Govcrnorship
ough. to have, he will admit that he has no
business to be candidate at all 10 Penn

one in another latitude. e.-Phita. Sun.

A MURDER.--A case of alleged poison
ing of young Frenehman bJa young En-
glish woman, is just now occupying the at
ten.ion more or less of all England. The
trial IS now in progress before the High
Court of Judiciary Of Ednburg. Miss
Madeline Smith stands charged with the
murder Of Nj. L'Angellicr, whom she had
encouraged with secret attachment. ller
parents occupy a good position at Glasgow,
and the young man, who was clerk, with
insufficient means, would notthave been &C :
cepted by them The girl met him clandes-
timely, however, and corresPonded with
him, and professed her affections IN the
most unqualified aud extravagant terms
1t now appears that after some Of their la
test meetings the young man was frequent
ly attacked with agonizing symptoms, which
at last resulted in death. Among his eff
fects were found the letters of Miss Smith.
one of which had urged him TO a private
meeting few hours previously. An exam
ination of the body developed abundant
traces of arsenic.
Miss Smith is proved to have purchased
arsenic, and openly admits the fact, as she
used it for her complexion. She bought il
in company with some friends, and unhesi-
tatingly affixed her name to the register of
the chemists, wha were told by her that it
was to poison rats. After her intimacy and
correspondence with the Frenchma her
family arranged match for her with apcr-
sons in much better position. She ac-
cepted this new offer, but the Frenchman
was of an impulsiVe and dangerous disposi-
MON, and would be likely to expose her when
the affair became known to him. This indeed
she had ultimately threatened. Miss Smith
yainly implore him to return her letters
She then renewed her expression Of affection,
and invited him to meet her. The allega-
ton is that this was q snare to enable her
to destroy him. She is charged with having
administered arsenic to him in chocolate or
coffee A multitude of witnesses, medical
and others, will be called 80 for the
prosecution alone whom only 30 have
as yet been examined.

WHAT THEY MADE BY TT.

The application of the friends OF Packer
for an injunction to prevent the sala of the
Main Line, has resulted in loss TO the
State of million and half of dollars. -
The Lancaster Intriiigencer, the home or
gan Of Mr. Buchanan, acknowledges this
promptly in the following paragraph Re
ferring to the sale, it says:
awe do not wonder THAT scheers' we're
given with hearty good will by those in
terested in the Pennsylvania railroad.-
They have made q capital speculation for
the Stakeholder indeed, than if they had
bought under the bill before the action of
the Supreme Court was had upon it. They
now get it for seven and half millions of
dollars, whereas, then it would have cost
them NINE MILLIONS. IT'S true, under
their present purchase the tonnage tax is
not takei. off-bu that is of small moment,
inasmnch as they will doubtless be able to
get Legislature in year or two, pliable
enough to repeal the tax; and when once it
is taken off, no subsequent legislation can

its original profusion of natural and glossy
hair, and when the latter has been prema-
turely tinged with gray, We have seen it,
like magic, restore the colors Of youth und
