PRESIDENT BUCHANAN, who had been
sojourning at the Springs for ten days, left
On Tuesday for Washington ola Cumber-
land. He was accompanied By his niece,
Miss Lane, and by Miss Bl ack, daughter
of the Attorney General. We understand
that, immediately after his departure, tel
egraphic dispatch arrived from Washington
advising him to proloug bis visit.
There was one noticeable feature connec-
ted with Mr.. Buchanan's visit-that was
his intimacy with Bowman. Can the coun-
try be in safe hands when the President
condescends to come in contact with such
an epitome of meauness. People of Bed
ford County you who kHow the AOia,al---
who have only preserved yourselves By ex-
trene care from pollution by its weekly
emission of offensive steach, what think you

A SEwITcH ED MISSISSIPPI GIRL.--We
find in the Grenada Republican the follow
ing singular narrative of facts :-''We arc
credibly informed that there is now, in this
county girl, ten years old, who is very
singularly afflicted. It appears that she la
bors under the impression that she is be
witehed. Her case is certainly remarka-
BILE one. She wears piece Of gold around
her neck, and if the gold is not watched, the
string will twist to sufoeation- She thinks
;f the gold vas renewed she would die in
INSTANTLY; on one occasion it Was removed
and Immediately there were signs OF straR-
gulatiou. Another remarkable feature con
neeted with her case is this:-Cut off piece
Of her hair and throw it into the FIRE, and
she viii show evident signs of pain or un-
easiness by screaming Her hair has been
burnt half a mile distant, and at the very
instant of burning she manifested the same
sign of pain-Another strange feature in
this case is If the picture of the person
whom she believes to be the cause of her
suferings, is drawn upon paper, and shot at
with lead, it makes no impression upon her,
but present gun loaded with silver, and
she is thrown into spasms--fre, aud she is
calm again

A GREAT CHANGE-Forty years ago,
wisen the old bridge across the Monongahela
river was built, all the iron work was
brought to Pittsbueg from HuBtingdon, there
aet being at that time single rolling mill

cost of $3.50 per ton. Nov the rolling
mills Of pittsburg and vicinity are counted
by the hundred, and good iron can be had

RESOLVING RUN MAD.-It has become
much too common to adept preambles and
resolutions on occasions which do not re-
quire them. The thing is indeed run into
the ground. But the folloRlng caps the
climax of absurdity, and velges on irteyer-
ence. A Sabbath School attached TO a
church at Syracuse, recently made an ex-
cursion to Little Sodus Bay. While enjoy
ing the sail, the following preamble and
resolutions we're unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Divine Providence, in His wis
dom and goodness, having favored the Sab
bath school of the Second Baptist Church,
of Syracuse, and the many citizens accom-
panying them, with 4 lovely day on this ex-
cursion, rendering the occasion agreeable
and delightful to all, afFording us the en-
joyment of healthy and refreshing ride
over the blue waters Of Lake Ontario, with
its varied and charming scenery, and, where
as, we have been vouchs afed prosperous
ride, free from accident and dagger, be it
therefore
Resolved. That NC Iumtiy acknowledge
our Indebtedness TO the Almighty for the
enjoy meats received on this occasion, and
thar we cemmit ourselves to His care, re-
turning to our respective homes, ia the hope
of receiving similar BLESSINGS of His DigiGe
will.
Resolved, That we heartily return oaI
thanks to Stones Sax horn Band
The Albany Argus remarks, wickedly
enough, on this series of resolutions, the
usual final one is lacking:
Resolved That copy of these resolutions,
signcd By the President and Secretary, be
forwarded, &c., &C.
