WExcITED-the Lock Haven folks about
the bill introduced into the Legislature, re-
stricting the floating of loose saw logs in the
Susquehanna. They held a meeting, passed
long batch of resolutions, containing state
merts which will surprise any man of strict
candor, and sent big delegation to Harris
burg to arrest the passage of this s.arbitrary
and oppressive measure.'' The editor of the
Democrat is wonderfully exercised about it,
His vivid imagination pictures the destruction
Of the towns of Lock Haven and Williams
port-their citizens involved in ruin-scxcite-
ment and contention, if not riot and civil war;
pervading the nov peaceful valley of the West
Branch-the State treasury reduced to a state
of bankruptcy, and some other 'orrible things
s'too numerous to mention" We hope our
Lock Haven friends will preserve their equa-
nimity, and not tear their linen, nor commit
any rash act of violence against their Senator,
Col. Gregg, who the Democrat thinks sshad
better be little wary about showing himself
amongst some of his constituents" :" if he votes
for the bill. We advise the Col to arm him.

4 remarkable case Of swindling and super
stition was developed before the Police Court
of ofPhiladelphia, few days since. A German
woman named Anna Meister, was charged with
defrauding a number of persons, (mostly Ger
mans) by representing that she was the daugh-
ter of God, and the sister of the Holy Ghost
and Jesus Christ our Saviour. She pretended
TO save souls, and have revelations from Heav-
en-. She SO wrought upon the supersti:ious
feelings Of her dupes that they surrendered all
their money and valuables to her. One poor
woman testified that she announced that she
vas going on a visit to Heaven. and that she
must have from her followers the means to
buy silk dress, gold watch, gold pencil,
and gold ring, as she could not be admitted
without them. Incredible as their simplicity
may appear, the morfey was actually raised 10
buy her these things. Other testimony of the
same kind induced the magistrate to commit
her TO prison as swindler. In a few hours
however, she was hailed out by some of her
miserable dupes.

IMPORTANT PROM KASsAs.-Recent intelli-
gence from Kansas states that difficulty had
occurred on the 18th February, between Gov
crnor Geary and man named Sherrod, grow
ing out of the refusal of the former to appoint
the latter to the office Of Sheriff, as desired by
the Legislature, and which had had fatal ter
mination. Sherrod had avowed the purpose
of killing Gov. Geary, and meeting him in the
street called him a liar, coward and scoundrel.
Gov. Geary did not resent the insult but his
friends got up an Indignation meeting, on
Thursday, the 10Th. Sheriff Jones, Sherrod,
and others attempted to interrupt the meeting,
and in the affray Sherrod shot Mr.. Sheppard,
one of Gov. Geary's friends, four times, and
wounded two others. Mr.. Jones, Gov. Gea-
ry's Secretary ,thereupon shot Sherrod through
the head, killing him instantly. Great excite
Inent prevailed at Lecompton, and general
fight was anticipated that night. Gov. .Geary's
residence was guarded by U. States troops.
Later accounts state that Sherrod was not
killed as was at first reported, and that Mr..
Jones who shot him was not~the Governors
secretary. He was arrested and held to bail
in the sum of $4,000. The Legislature Coun-
Gil condemns the outrage on Gov Geary, by
resolution, while the House fully sastains Sher-
rod. Gov. Geary fears assassination. and
sent yesterday for the troops at Teeumseh.

LIFE IN New YoRK.-Under this head, the
Tribune of the 2Sth Feb, gives an account OF
a charming ssCalifornia widow the admira-
ton of her male, and the envy of her female
acquaintances, cowhiding merchant at a
fashionable boarding house in one of the lead
ing avenues. 1T seems that the name of her
admirers was sSlegion'' and the Sights she
gave some of the gay Lotharios raised their
ire so much as to induce them to circulate
some scandalous reports about the ssvidder.''
To these she paid no attention until one more
virulent than the rest vast started which she
traced to the merchant in question. When he
came in to dinner, about so persons being pres
ent, she walked up to him and demanded re-
traction--he refused-she drew forth cow
hide and beat him severely about the head
as to mark his face lengthwisc and crosswise
with red lines, and confine him to his room for
several days. In consequence of the many
intrigues and amours among nearly all of the
boarders in the house, each and every one
seemed appointed a member of the silent COM
mittee, and general feeling prevailed TO hush
up the matter. In this little affair pretty much
all of the fashionables in the establishment
were mixed up in some way or other, and the
implication of one would tend to implieate all.

LATE DISCOVERIES PATHOLOGY show
that very many OF the diseases which affiict
mankind arise from irnpurity of the blood
This has long been suspected but is only lately
known. In consumption, tubercles are found
to be e sedmehtary deposite from the blood .
Dropsy, Cont, Cancer, Ulcers and Eruptions,
all arise in disordered deposites from the
blood. Bilious diseases and fevers are eau
sed solely by its deranged unhealthy state, and
even the decline of life follows want of vital
ity in the blood. In view of these facts DR..
Aver designed his Cathar'ic Pin especially to
purify and inyigorate the blood, and hence we
believe to arise its unparalleled success in con-
trolling and curing disease.-Medicai Journal.

REPEAL oF THE NATURALIZATION LAWS

From article with this heading, copied
from one of our Locofoco exchanges, we take
the following =
'sIn the House of Representatives at WASH
ington, there is bill pending for the repeal of
the naturalization laws, and requiring foreign
born residents of the United States 10 remain
in the United States twenty-one years before
acquiring any political rights. That bill is be-
fore the committee of the whole. and it
quires two-thrds TO force it before the House.
Last week, Humphrey Marshall, Of Kentucky,
the man who was elected by the Know Moth
ings, during the bloody riot at Louisville. in
August 1855, moved to suspend the rules, for
the purpose of bringing that bill before the
House on its passage; and his motion receiv-
ed the votes of the following members. We
invite close attention TO the names: Southern
Democrats, none Northern Democrats, none
Southern Know othings, 81; Northern Know
Nothings, 5; Republicans. 63." ssHere
are sixty-eight northern atolitionists voting TO
require a residence of twenty-one years on tie
part of all emigrants before their admission to
citizenship, and of that sixty-eight, sixty-three
were firm supporters of Fremont. Not dem
ocrat has disgraced himself by placing his
name in the list.''
Vel, rot Of it? Suppose these sixty-eight
Americans and Republicans did vote to extend
the term of naturalization Is there anything
s.disgracetul'' in that They wish merely TO
have proper guards thrown around the voting
franchise, in order to check such frauds as
have lately been exposed in Philadelphia.
where Paddles just frcm the sod, and Mynherrs
just landed, were supplied with fraudulent nat
uralization papers and voted for the Democrat
&c ticket. The matter of voting is privilege
granted after complying with certain requisi-
tions, and if Congress sees fit to extend the
time to ten, twenty or forty years, as they may
determine, no should complain. To be
sure it might interfere with the rapid increase
of Locofoco voters-which is matter of con-
siderable interest to that party-but it is strict
ly constitutional and within the power of Con
gress to do so, and if majority of the Rep
resentatives are in favor OF it, their decision
should be regarded as the will of the people.
