g. LYCoMINa CoUNTY AND THE LEcoNPToS
CogsTIruTloN.-There wss'a large democratic
meeting at Wiliamsport on the 9th inst, the
Court House being crowded. The object was
to give expression to the feeling Of the peo-
pie on the Lecompton Constitution. Henry
WHITE, Esq, presided and speeches were
made by Clinton Lloyd, Judge Eldred, Geo.
White, H. c. Parsons and G. d. Emery. All
were the warm personal and political friends
Of Governor Packer. Judge Eldred offered
q series Of resolutions, which were adopted
with great unanimity couple of which we
copy as specimens:
Resolred That the admission OF Kansas ns
q State, under the so-called Lecompton Con-
stitution, would be violation Of the princi.
Piles and pledges Of the Democratic party +; in
direct conflict with the Cincinnati platform,

tory, nor has it been sanctioned by a majority
of them, but is bantling conceived in sin and
brought forth in niquity
Resoired, That in our opinion, the admis-
sion Of Kansas under the Lecompton fraud
will not localze, but nationalze the question
and be such an oct Of aggression and wrong

SCARLET FEvER.-INPoRrANT PREscRIr-
TON DR.. Lindsly, Of Washington, strongly
recommends the mode of treatment Of scarlet
fever. resorted to by DR.. Schneeman, pbysi.
ciun 10 the King OF Hanover. 1t is as follows,
and exceedingly simple
Trcdfneni of Scarlet ferer By Injunction.
From the first day Of the illness, and as
soon rs VIC age certain Of its nature, the pa
tieut must be rubbed morning and evening
over the whole body with piece OF bacon, in
such manner that, with the exception OF the
hoad, covering Of fat is every where applied.
In order to make this rubbing in somewhat
easier, it is best TO take piece Of bacon the
size Of hand, choosing part still! armed
with the rind. that we may bave irm grasp.
ON the soft side Of this piece Sits are to be
made, in order to allow the ooZing out of the
fat The rabbiugs must be thoroughly per-
forhed, aud not too quickly, in order that the
skin may he regularly saturated with the fat,
The beneficial results of toe application ara
soon obvious with o rapdity bordering on
magic all, even the most painful, symptoms OF
the disease are allayed quiet sleep, good
humor, appetite Ietnrns, and there remains
ouly ths inpatience TO quit the sick-room."

KANSAS FRAUDS.

We gave, on saturday the facts of the dis
covery OF the buried returns of the Surveyor
Generals Office. The box contained the
whole Of the returns of both elections
among them being the much.talked of Della.
ware Crossing return, footing up 349 votes.
Governor Denver and the two presiding Off
GERS Of the Legislature, who were present
Calhoun opened and counted the returns
originally, swore that those found in the box
we're the same passed, except the Delaware
Crossing return, which must have been 10
Calhouns possession secretly, and by him
afterwards, included in the count. Calhoun's
chief clerk in the Surveyor. Generals Office,
Mclean, had sworn, before the investigating
committee Of the Legislature, that be had
sent all the documents to Calhoun, at Wes-
ton or Platte city but it seems that Mclean
had been watched for several days by secret
spies, who saw him and three other persons
bury the box containing the papers, at night,
and pile wood over the spot. This accounts
Tor tho exact Information possessed by the
Sheriff, who found the box. AS the three
judges who held the election at Delaware
have sworn positively that only forty-tbree
votes were cast there and no more were re-
turned by them on the papers givel to Hen
derson, the question is, how did the papers
come TO show 349. On examining them
after their exbumation. it was found quite evil
dent that they had been tsmpered with, as
nothing in them was genuine but the eertii-
Gates and signatures OF the judges, which had
been cut of from the original papers. and
pasted on at the foot Of seven pages of bogus
names written on entirely different paper

GENERAL CuAnAcrER.-A light yeIlowsh
brown-coored spirit having fragrant edoi
when evaporated from clean linen it left no oil
offensive matter. Analysed for volatile and fix.
ed drugs, of which no traces of any kind were
found. It's color is proved to be due to a coiored
resin an extract derived from wood.
In every respect it is pure spirituous liquor.
The fragrance or bouquet which it possesses
can be isolated and it then appears unlike that
from Cognac Brandy or Wine, being fruity es.
sence resulting frsm a peculiar fermentation Of
Catawba and Isabella Grapes.
CHEMICAL CHAnAcTEn.-l,00 900 parts in vol

10 parts of pure ulcohol besides the fragrant oil.
lojo parts Of the spirit afford % parts of strong
solution of the oil which characterizes this Bran
dy the spirit left, after removing the oil, is pure
and odoress, and in all its qualities perfect spi-
rit not subject to charge. One U. S. gallon of
this Brandy OF 60 deg F. contains, besides the
spir, and oil, only 220 grs. of matter composed
Of extract of fruit, gum, and coloIed resin from
wood.

suspunY AND ERIE RAILROAD COMPANY.

SUDBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD COMPANY.
The annual meeting Of Stockholders OF the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company was
held on Monday of last week at Philadelphia
The annual report of the Board Of Mana.
gers was then read, Of which the following is
an abstract:
On the Eastern Division the deep-cut op-
posite Jersey Shore, has been completed,
leaving no heavy work unfinished between
Williamsport and Farrandsyille so that this
important section could be put in running
condition in six months time, il the means
for the purpose can be secured.
On the Western Division, the work princi-
pally from resources furnished in that region
is so far advanced that in six or eight months
time the line could be put in full operation
from Erie to Warren, and soon after into the
Western margin Of the coal fields Of Elk and
Mexican counties.
An extensive revision Of the surveyed line
of the route has been determined upon, with
q view Of avoiding o large amount Of the
heaviest work, which it is believed can &c &C.
complished
IN the year 1855, mortgage for six mil
lions Of dollars was executed upon the whole
line of the road finished and unfinished. to
secure o like amount of bonds to be issued
under the same. These honda it was !ourd
impossible to negotiate.
The financial condition OF the company up
to the first Of January last is shown by the
following abstract OF the Treasurer's report

The earnings of the finished portion Of thC
work have not been as great as was anticipa
ted at the time Of the last annual report
owing to the financial troubles.
Arrangements have now been made for
resumption OF the coal business, with ever,
prospect Of success.
The net increase OF the finished portion O
the road for the past season, has exceeds
the interest of the mortgage debt upon it,
The bonds yet TO be disposed Of will be suffi
cient to provide for all the floating dedt.

choice of the following named gentlemen :
