preferred by stockholders Of the Lancaster
Bank, and his being held in Sl2, GOO for
hearing on Wednesday next. We knew Of
the intended arrest the previous day, and that
warrant was cut for Mr.. Longenecker, but
as he had not been arrested at the time we
went TO press, we did not think it proper to
refer TO that matter 1t was understood that
Mr. l.. was in the city, and would return in

L0ngenecker and Thomas Baumgardner be-
coming his sureties in SO, each, besides
recognizing personally in the same amount.
The complaint charges that some time in
the month OF March, 1855, David Longeneck-
er, then President of the Lancaster Bank,
and b. {. Bachman, Cashier Of said Bank,
paid fifty thousand dollars Of the money of
the Bank to the Lancaster Savings Institution,
On the notes of w. l.. Ucfensten, which
notes were endorsed either by the President
or Cashier of said Bank in their individual
name or names, and other Directors of said
Bank; that at the maturity Of these notes
they were presented at the Bank for payment,
and were directed by the Cashier to be paid,
although at the time, Mr.. Helfenstein had no
funds in that Bank to his credit to meet them
thus apprepriating the funds Of the Bank
to their own private Indebtedness to an am
cunt exceeding $4,000
The complaint further charges that the
said David Longenecker, as President of the
Lancaster Bank, did at various times appro-
pirate the funds of said Bank to his own in
diViduai use and benefit, and also that he
loanea 3I "a out sums of money, the property of

Republican State Convention.

The RepuOncan State Convention, for the
nomination Of candidates for Governor and
other State Officers, will be held at Harrisburg,
on WEDNESDAY,, the 25th Of March. 1857.
Each District will elect Delegates in the usu-
al manner. equal in number to its represen-
tation in the two Houses of the Legislature:
and no person will be entitled by substitution,
10 represent district in which he does not
reside. CHARLES GIBBONS.
Chairman Of the State Executive Committee
The above notice is perhaps somewhat pre-
mature, but having been called by the regu-
larly constituted authority of the Republican
party, it is due that representatives from tho
several districts should be elected, and we
would accordingly suggest that meeting be
held at the Town Hall, IN Lewistown, on Mon
day evening March 9th for the purpose of
electing Delegates 1t does not necessarily
follow that because q convention is called
nomination mast be made, for circumstances
may arise to render a postponement both
proper and judicious; but if the foolish advice
of some to altogether disregard this call be
taken those who meet may do that which will
DO hard to undo. Besides such course
would be an insulting one towards the gal
liant voters of the7northern counties who in
the fall elections piled up majorities for the
Union ticket sufficient, had other parts of the
State not proved recreant, to turn Pennsylva-
MIA from the infamous platform laid down for
her by slavery prepagandists. Let each dis
trict then elect it's delegates, selecting men of
sound Judgment and conciliatory views-let
these men assemble and calmly deliberate
and cur word for it theiy action will be such
as to command ready response. While,
like others, we have our preferences for
candidate in the person Of Judge Hale, that
preference will not prevent US from giving a
cheerful support to any one on whom the
opposition to the National Administration
may unite, whether it he that sterling Repub-
lican and able statesman, DAVID WIL4or, or
any good American Republican

FoUND.--The pocket book lately stolen
from Elliott Williams at the Railroad Hotel
was found on Tuesday last At fence near tha
hotel with the papers in it. Walker who
was charged with the act by Carter has been
clearly proved innocent by the discovery that
the 500 note was not in the pocket book; he
was consequently discharged. Carter will
probably reap the reward of his first effort
by serving the State for some years in me-
chanical capacity.
GARRoTING.-Th first attempt at introduc-
ing this species of robbary was tried last
week by woman inveigling a man into
house, and as soon as he entered it had him
knocked down by man in waiting, and rob
bed of watch. The case came up before a
magistrate, but was afterwards settled by the
parties. One Of the peeuliarities of this case
was that one of the party was implicated in
a robbery on Thursday, committed to Jail on
Friday, bailed out on Saturday, and married

EFFECTS OF THE FLooD.-The Newton Ham
ilton dam we learn has been swept away be-
tween the piers, SO that it will require rebuilt
ding; the Jacks creek aqueduct has been
somewhat stove at the side. the piers under
the tow path bridge knocked down, and the
wing walls slightly shattered The tow path
is badly washed in many places. The cul-
vert at Mayes, at which some work had been
done. is in worse state than ever, the banks
daily caving in as the frost leaves the ground.
A friend who has some idea Of the damage
sustained on this division, estimates that with
the Newton dam it will cost the State $40, 900
to put all in good order.

Holiotcay's -Hedict,es-We are not in the
habit generally Of noticing the thousand and
one medicines Of the day, but when really
meritorious one is before the public, we think
it due 10 the afflicted that the fact should be
made known. We have used Hslloway's
Pills and Ointment in cases of humors bruis-
es and scalds with beneficial effects, and there
are cases within our knowledge of extraordi-
nary cures performed in diseases of long
standing. Professor HolIoway's Ointment
and Pills are among the few preparations
which perform ALL the cures for which they
are recommended. We are satisfied that for
purifying the blood, regulating the stomach,
and curing liver and bilious complaints, no
better remedy can be found.-Banyor Demo-
