A PROCLAMATION

HAereos, a serious financial revulsion has
occurred, resulting in the suspension of
specie payments by the Banks OF this mud
other States of the Uniou, and the failure
of ma ny long established commercial houses
leading to the destruction of confidence, and
and to the general embarrassment aud de-
preston of trade, and threatening to affect
disastrously the credit of the Commonwealth
and the great industrial interests Of the peo-
pie.
Ind Whereas, All occasion SO extraordi-
Iary requires prompt aud efficient action To
relieve an alarmed and suffering communi-
y:
Therefore, |, james Pollock, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by
virtue Of the powers conferred on ME hy The
constitution, do hereby convene the Gener-
al Assembly Of this Commonwealth, and re-
l'auire the members of the Senate and House
of Representatives to meet in their ,respec-
tive houses in the Capitol at Harrisburg,
on
Tuesday, The sirh day Of October, 4. D.. 1857 /,
At II o'clock at noon of that day, then and
there to take into consideration, and adopt
such measures of relief in the premise ass
thelpresent exigency may seem to them in
their wisdom TO demand.
In testimony whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the Great Seal of
the Commonwealth to be affixed, at Harris
burg, this 2Sth day of September, in tie
year of cur Lord, 1857, and of the lndePen-
dpnce of the United States the eiehty-sec-

NICODEMuS and EVANS.

In the last Gazette is long article 10
defence of these two distinguished persons
who are plotting the Democracy of Bedford
county through the present contest. That
paper says Nicodemus ''did signal service
Juring the last campaign, and it was
through his instrumentaliiy alone, that
Hon. John Cessna was enabled to expose
those men Who SO persis,cn'ly denied their
membership Of the Secret Order. and who,
at the same Time, had taken the horrible
oath and had never reuouuced it," How
dii he suable John Cessna to make the ex-
2oses By basely betraying the confidence
which had been placed in him by The order.
After he was assured that Locofocoism
would pay better than remaining IN the
American party, be shoull have given up
she records which he had in his charge, as
IA. honorable man would have done. But
instead Of doing 50, he handed over these
documents to Johu Cessna Cor the purpose
Of ipjua.ag aad abusing the men who elect
"a him to the offiee of Justice Of the Peace,
which he now holds, and had not the honor
20 resign.
The Gazette says that Mr. Evans and
Mr.. Bruaner appointed Nicodemus Clerk

Directions for Fishermen,

When you 60 fishing, always hire
a low wheeled cart to accompany you,.
there's no telling what will hap
pen if you happen to take brandy or
Bourbon whiskey along. and it's al
ways best to be prepared for anything
that may turn up, even if it happens
to be yourself.
If you carry worms for bait, you
can put them in your boots, or your
mouth. The latter place, we are as
sured. however. is the most ccmforta.
bic for the worms.
If your bait is minnows, put them
in your vest pocket, as IN that posi-.
ton they are exceedingly handy in
case Of frequent bites. Some fisher
men put them down the back OF their
neck, but we don't recommend that
plan, as they often wriggle their way
into secret corners Of the boots and
pantaloons.
Should you have a bite-that is to
say, we'll defined sensation at the
end of the apparatus opposite to
where you are stationed,-it is obvi'
Gus that YOU had better pull up, rs
there's no telling what might be on
the other end of your string, and
you should extract your hook from
the water, if for no other purpose
Just to see what's going on.
Heavy stones thrown into the wa
ter in the immediate vicinity of your
line, much improves your chances
for fish.
Ifyou can get lively gentleman
to accompany you, who will sing
songs 10 loud tone, and laugh
vehemently when be isn't str;nging
the fish, you will b. likely to be
} very fortunate.
Splashing an oar in the water il
also considered an admirable plan
, for collecting the fish together.
A pull" at the line, should be
alternated with pull at the bot.
tie as often as once in while. This
will be very likely to have an effect
} on all descriptions Of "gills-

An Agricultural Hoax.

The follow ing rural "sell'' was

HORRIBLE MuRDER!-- Timothy Hay,
resident of Aurora, Portage county,
was found this morning, on bis prem
Uses, with his head completely severed
from his body and otherwise multi
ated, having the appearance of being
done by some sharp instrument. An
Irishman employed on the farm, who
is known to have had some difficulty
with Hay, is suspected; he is at large.
Many Of the papers took it for a
genuine occurrence, but some editorial
genius has carried out the joke, by
adding the paragraph below:
We learn from a gentleml IN direct
from Portage county, that MIR. Hay
in spite of his injuries, has been com
pletely cured. He had narrow
escape however, and solemnly realizes
the truth of the scripturdl declaration
call flesh is grass" The perpetrator of
the act is not an Irishman, as stated
but Scyth-ian. He is at present
out on straw bail; nevertheless from
the horrible manner in which he is said
to have mutilated Hay, We shall not
be surprised to learn that he is no
