THE Rich MAN.-The desire of nearly
all is to be rich in this worlds goods, fan
cying that therein consists human happi-
ness, yet what poor man that has noted
those with mammon' imprinted on their
foreheads, their thoughts bent alone on
money even while one foot is tottering
over the grave, would exchange his lot for
such a life? Gold has its uses, and may
be source of enjoyment to those who can
use it as designed by the nobler feelings of
cur nature, but if tainted with a miserly
disposition or oppression, the laborer who
tolls from morn until night to gain pre-
carious existence, is far happier than the
possessor OF tens of thousands.

Resale Of the Delaware Division.

On Saturday last, the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company, to whom the Legislature
at it's late session conveyed all the State
canals, resold the Delaware Division to
company of ten or twelve of our leading
capitalists, namely, j. v Williamson, A. S.
& G, Roberts, A G. Fell, E. w. Clarke &
Co., VIM. Longstreth, the Messrs. Borie,
Chas. Henry Fisher, Judge Hepburne,
Ephraim Marsh, of New Jersey, and some
others. Included in the list, we are told,
there are five Presidents of Banks, Rail
roads and Canals. The persons named are
of unquestioned means, and wholly unex-
ceptionable as purchasers on the score of
ability and probity of character. The
price stipulated to be paid is one million
segen hundred and seueaty-fOe thousand
dollars payable as follows:
Mortgage bonds at per cent, S1,250,00C
Preferred per cent. stock. 100000
Ten monthly payments of $4,000,
secured by collateral, 100000
Cash, on execution of the papers, $4,000
Sl,775, 600
This bargain, on Saturday afternoon, was
by the Governor, and is of course
complete. The cash payment of $4,000
was made, and the purchasers organized
into a company, under the title of the Della
ware division of Pennsylvania Canal Com
pany, and elected Jay Cook, Esq, President
After this sale was made an offer of two
millions was made, on behalf of the Lehigh
Navigation Company, but it was consid-
cred TOO late, the sale having already been
completed, and frequent attempts having
already been made previously to obtain
bid from the Lehigh Company.

effected by this medicine, in the town of

lated to US by DR.. Herrick, an eminent phy-
slcian of that town, to whom we have permis

of medicine, and she was informed by her
medical attendant that she must die She
was induced to send for n bottle of Wistar's

gage in teaching is called to the advertise
ment in to-day's paper of Normal Glass
In no place now do we more need trained
and competent men than in our schools
Such teachers can only be produced by a
course of study and preparation. In this
the Class promises to aid them. The sue
cess of the principal in this can be fully
endorsed by those who have already attend
ed. We hope to see full turnout from
all parts of the county.

THE CRoPs.-From personal observation
in this vicinity and authentic information
from different parts of the county, we are
satisfied that there will not be more than
half crop of wheat. The weevil has in
jured it severely, and most of that which
ripened is not so full and plump as was
expected. There are exceptional fields of
early Mediterranean where the wheat is
excellent.

DESTRUCTION OF WILD FRUIT TREES.
In some of our rambles over the hills
and through the woods, we notice that the
villainous practice Of destroying mulberry
fruit, is still practised. On the ridge sew
eral fine mulberry trees, among them one
noted for bearing remarkably large ones,
were torn down limb by limb, instead of
shaking or going to little pains to pick
them, and thus rendered useless hereafter
We hope the first owner Of property who
will catch one Of these scoundrels at this
infamous work, whether man, woman, boy
or girl, will have no hesitation in enforcing
a recent act Of the Legislature, which i'm
poses severe penalty for such doings,
more worthy Of an ignorant savage than
civilized people.
The discharge Of fire arms is also begin
ing to be heard in the neighborhood of
town, and many poor bird, perhaps with
halffedged young dependent on it for life,
has no doubt been ruthlessly shot down by
those who will exercise this cruel sport
for the sake merely of shooting, Cannot
an association be formed for carrying into
effect the bird law? 4 simple rule pledg-
ing each member to give information, and
the payment Of small sum annually to
employ a proper person to prosecute all
snch cases, is all that is needed.

THE ELECTION

omptonism--Protection to American In
dustry.
The extraordinary result of the election
in this county ON Tuesday last, and espe-
cially in the district composed of the Bor-
ough of Lewistown and Granville and Der
ry townships, which gave 212 majority for
James t. Hale for Congress, was the theme
of special wonder among all classes. 1t
cannot be claimed as party triumph, yet
is special and merited rebuke to Buchan-
an, White and Bower, and warning to all
future aspirants for Office that the time has
arrived when the SOVEREIGN PEOPLE will
no longer suffer themselves to be used as
mere machines, or permit Legislators to set
their will at defance with impunity.-
Lifelong democrats looked with regret on
the singular course Of Buchanan in lend
ing himself to outrages on rights held sa-
cred by every man who appreciated our in
stitutions others saw in the nomination of
VIM. A. Porter an attempt to perpetuate
Office in one family; and yet another por-
tion looked on the unbridIed interference
of oficeholders and the prescription for
opinions sake as more worthy Of despo-
tism than free government The labor
ing classes, who saw our furnaces and ore
banks idle, and themselves without en-
ployment, while foreign labor was furnish
ing us with iron, together with all interest
ed in business, arose in mass and declar-
ed their determination to put on record a
verdict that could not be mistaken by the
most blinded politician. Thus the ticket
nominated by what is called the "opposi-
ton became in reality the q People Tick
et," and received an overwhelming vote
which defeated the worthy with the un-
worthy on the so-called democratic.
The election of Mr.. Peachy as Commits
sioner is also a lesson which may with
profit be laid to heart by all who act on
the principle that the end will justify the
means. Against him was arrayed party
discipline, backed by all the physicians of
this town with the exception of one or two,
some of whom were electioneering against
him for weeks and up to the hour of clo-
sing the polls. Nor was detraction want
ing-yet what did it avail? The people
saw one of their most respected taxpayers,
with his colleagues, almost secretly legisla-
ted out of Office while in the midst of re-
form of what had become a nest of public
plunder, and they put their seal of con-
demnation on the act and its authors by
electing him to a post which now controls
the very institution from which the snake
bill elected him.
We subjoin the result in this county, by
reported majorities, for Congress, Legisla-
ture, and Commissioner:

Fatal A!Bfay.-Daniel Kinnealy, a farmer
in Jones county, Iowa, was struck with a
scythe by laborer named Pendergrass, and
both legs nearly severed at the thigh, and his
abdomen cut through. He died instantly
Mr.. Ryan, who tried to defend him, was
struck in the breast by the point of the scythe,
and probably fatally wounded. The enraged
people refused to deliver the murderer to any
officer, and he has probably suffered the pen.

for the last year
On Wednesday morning Rev John NJ

tened to with a great deal of interest.
The Presbytery adjourned on Thursday,
after a session Of four days The business
of the last day was not Of a character to be
interesting to the general reader-but the
proceedings throughout the session were
charaetized by dignity becoming the oc-
casion and the objects of assemblage.
The different ministers and elders attend

tanned by the people of Bellefonte, and we
think that all concerned were highly graft
