The installation of new President, and, with
but two exceptions, a new Board of Directors, of
the Northern Central Railway Company, is an
event of sufficient Importance to demand, in the
interest of the city, something more than mere
passing notice. The Annual Report of the retr-
ing Board, states the receipts and expenses of the
Company, for the year ending December 3lst, 1857,
to have been as follows

arsenal or armony-we question if many
English gentlemen could, in moment of
Indignation, suddenly stretch out their hands
as MIR. Sckles did, and find ready two single
barrelied pistols and revolver. Having
placed these weapons in his pockets, he
sailed forth, and as Mr. Key was extending
his hand for friendly grasp Mr.. Sickles
exclaimed, "Now, villain, you must die !"
and fired the first pistol at his enemy, but
without effect. MIR. Key hurled an opera
glass in his face, and photographic COM
menced, the one man trying TO master the
others arm, the other eIdeavoring 10 dis
charge his second pistol. Mr.. Sickles pre-
vailed, and his second shot brought his en-
emy 10 the ground. So maddened with
passion, however, was he that even when
he had killed Mr.. Key he discharged bar
rel of his revolver into The dead mans head,
and, with an oath, rendered himself up to
the officers of justice.
Such are the leading facts of this misera.
BILE story, which we record with unfeigned
sorrow, and which we are sure will be read
with much commiseraton by all persons in
England who had any knowledge of the ac-
tors in the tragedy.

Democratic Nominations.
Knox, Lauman, FOrnry & Co.'S Convention.

1t will be remembered that Foruey & Co
called State Convention 10 meet at Harris
burg TO day, April l3th, for the purpose Of
endorsing the policy Of Governor Packer and
nominating State ticket TO suit their prn-
cipes and carry out their wiful designs
According 10 previous notice this Conven-
tion is in session, dealing out severe blows
at the principles OF that tme-honored organ
izaton-the Democratic party. In some
counties they held meetings and appointed
delegates TO meet in this bogus Convention,
styling themselves Democrats Is not this
preposterous? Men who have not voted The
Democratic ticket for the last half dozen
years, and number who never voted with
the Democratic parry in their lives, calling
a Democratic Stale Convention! All sound
Democrats will differ widely with these men
and their periidous movements ; they can
not aid them in accomplishing their wicked
designs.
No doubt there will be grand ontpour-
ing Of revoiers from all corners OF the State,
for where is the spot but what has lis dis
appointed renegades, and they too of every
hue There can be found actively engaged
in this revengeful bogus Convention, anti
Lecomptoniles, btack Republicans, Know.
No,hings, and some ftc trcGeherous democrats!
Should the signers 10 the call for this Con-
vention from Schuylkil county be present,
they will add quite a cO'Ored and interesting
feature 10 the Convention. This would tend
TO verify the old adage that "bhds OF fealh.
er flock togelher," and be tar exposition
of the material which compose this bogus
Convention; but still they have impudence
enough 10 call it Democratic Convention
Catch birds with chaG, will you? We are
inclined to think it Disorganizers' Con.
venton, and called &c form a Republican
ticket, which will be quite saving of
time and money for the regular Republican
party.

THIRSTY AS FIsH.-Are fish uncommonly
thirsty? Do they drink at all Has any
writer upon subject OF natural history enter
tained us with a development of the fact,
that The whole race should be calculated by
er.heating" inebriates, diners on cor
ned.beef, and people, generally, whose
overnight excuses superinduce desire 10
indulge in draughts in the morning? Why
should such folks perpetually give as an
excuse Tor their little weakness that they
are ''dry as fish " Fish, we suspect, are
never in that arid condition The character
of their dweling-place forbds it, in one
sense: and their cold blood and physical
organization eamaSSe, repudiates it in the
other sense. Fish are sensible, well-be
haved creatures. They are considered
"scaly" by the world and some of them,
OF course, merit that reproachiul appela-
tion. They cannot help it. But as a body,
they are sober branch of the universe,
and should not be stigmatized by custom
with character which is wholly foreign 10
their nature, and impossible as to their
habits. We take up the cudgels for the

ARAB GRATITUDE.-THE LIGHT OF THE HAREM
During successful medical career ormore
than twenty years; in the course of which he
has visited every quarter of the globe, it
may well be supposed that Professor Hollo.
way has been the recipient of many distin-
guished marks of honor and confidence
AS the originator OF a system OF treatment
which has swept over the world with force
and rapidity that, in this enlightened age,
are the preogaiives of Truth, his fame eve-
rywhere preceded him. Even in Traversing
Arabia. some years ago, he found that his
name and discoveries were we'll known to
10 the Shelks of the various tribes, ,and depu
tations of Arabs met him at various points of
his sjourney, soliciting the great 'Hakin, (their
name for physician) 10 visit their tents and
administer 10 the sick. At every encamp-
ment he was received with most profound
respect, which deepened into absolute rev.
erence as the effect of his wonderful reme-
dies was Witnessed by these children of the
wilderness. Some of his adventures among
them were quite of romantic cast One
of their chiefs, a majestic old Bedouin,
whose favorite daughter had been for years
affected with scorbuic disease, was so
carried away with rapture al her recovery
under Professor HoIoway's hands, that in a
burst of gratitude, he offered him half his
1ocks and herds, if he would remain with
the tribe and be guest for life.
While visiting Constantinople, on his re-
tan, and was requested 10 prescribe for a fa-
vorite GdaAS9ue in the imperial harem, who
had been pronounced mcurable by the
| Turkish doctors. She was Circassian slave
of surprising beauty, and realized in her
form and face the description of "Young
Nourmahel' as described IN Lalla Rookh.-
Her disease was dyspepsia, aggravated no
doubt, by the ennui created by sequester-
ed and monotonous life. Within month,
however, Professor Holloway's great medi-
cines, with The aid of daily exercise in the
gardens of Seraelio, accomplished com.
plete cure ,and he subsequently received an

him in the warmest terms, for restoring 10
health the "Light of his Harem." No soon
er was the news of this cure noised through
Constantinople, than the lodgings of the
'Great Frank Physician" were literally be-
sleged by dyspeptc Pashas and bilious
Beys, and from the period of his departure
to the present time, the demand upon his
agents in Constantinople for the remedies
that bear his name hasconlnualy increased.

man Benton Marion Crops Tor the murder
of Policeman Rigdon; Peter Corrie, an ac.
complice of Crops; and Stephens, aIids
Cyphus, (colored) for the murder ofa negro
named King.
The execution was Witnessed Ivy at least
thirty thousand people from The city and
country. Two Of the convicts, GambrlI and
Stephens, protested their innocence to the
last Crops confessed his crime, and said
he had reperted of it; Corrie, his accom-
pice, said nothing.
Tie city was never known 10 have been
more crowded with strangers, and every
train that went there was laden with pas
sengers, The Philadelphia train of that
morning consisted of twenty-six cars filled
to the utmost capacity.
1t is stated that the friends of young Gam.
brill exerted every effort with Gov. Hicks 10
get him 10 commute the sentence, but with.
out effect The mother OF Corrie, accom-
panied by her sister and daughter, draped
in the deepest mourning, also called upon
his Excellency, and with tears and entreat-
les, which only mother and sister are pre-
pared TO give, and with all the eloquence
of maternal heart -gushngs, asked him il
there was no possibility of having the SEN
tence commuted. But this was all of no
avail. The Governor with marked firmness
and with great kindness and courtesy, stated
that he had always the feelings of human
ilv, and could feel for human woe with a
heart ful of sympathy, and with tears flow
ing down his cheeks, but that the law had
been most grossly violated and its mandates
must he observed, and that he had no just
grounds of action otherwise than TO see the
law enforced. The law has been enforced
and they have suffered lis penalty. There
were some friends of the negro before the
Governor, but they had very little 10 say i'll
his behalf
The proceedings before and during the
execution were very affecting, and intense
excitement and sadness prevailed the whole
community. This day will be memorable
one in the history Of Baltimore.

A NOBEL FLOUR lNsPEcToR.-An ex-
change, in speaking of the funny way they
have of inspecting flour in Philadelphia,
gives the following words of a reliable gen.
leman, who had been conversing on this
subject -
An up country miller told me that the
meanest lot of black -four he ever sent to
Philadelphia passed insp ecton and was
branded "exlra," whereas fine lot of
white wheat flour which followed was
scratched" A shipper told me- that among
lot that he had undergoing inspection,
five barrels were condemned. The same
evening he re.aranged the heads, and next
day had another inspection of the flour,
when it was branded extra.
