ceived letter from an intelligent friend
in West Beaver, Tp. who writes, that be
has been "on visit through the upper end
of Snyder county, and from present indi'
cations David Wilmot will go it with q
rush ; that bis majority will be greater
than ever was given before for any guber-
Material candidate that the Wigs and
Americans are firmly united on him and
as for Packer and Hazlehurst, they kno~
nothing about them, and care less" Ano-
theI letter from an esteemed friend in Per-
ry township, says: Calls right here for
Wilmot; we will give him long pull, a
strong pull and pull altogether" This
we call cheering news, and indicates our
triumphant success at the next election

LOOK TO YOUR PREMIsEs-Be careful
to keep nothing on your premises that will
taint the atmosphere, or cause annoyance
to your neighbors. No decaying animal
or vegetable matter should be permitted
to remain an instant in any building or
yard in densely inhabited localities.
Warm weather is upon US, and health is
easily affected in Summe. by vitiated at
mosphere. Keep your premises clear and
well purified, and you keep infectious d.
seases at distance.
A Kentucky slavecatcher, in pursuit Of
fugitive, rather than suffer him to escape
out Of bis clutches, shot him dead. The
murderer's name is William Mead. The
Governor Of Ohio will make requisition
for him upon the Governor Of Kentucky
to answer the crime of murder-but will
he be given up? Free States must yield
the escaping slave. Will Kentucky sur
render a murderer We shall see how
far the surrender Of fugitives is an item in
tn, creed of that chiyalrous State.

One of our exchanges says that "com-
petition may be the life of business, but it
is not true in trout fishing" He went to
brook for trout, and found that the two
most eminent fisherman of bis village had
just passed over its whole length. He went
home and ate salt mackerel for breakfast.
A lady in Carlisle, Ind, left her infant,
about month old, in its cradle, while she
went out in the field where her husband
was at work. When she returned what
was her horror to find that the child had
been stolen and negro baby left in its
place! No clue, whatever, can be found
to the kiduapper.

from Virginia last year, and 1000 more
escaped" The election Of Buchanan gave
a good impetus to the slave trade and to
prices
