LADIES On and after the 29.h Of
February, ladies will be fully authorized
to commence making love TO gentlemen
they may deem worthy Of their hands,
hearts and fortunes. This year is called
leap gear, because it is the laIy's privil-
eye 70 ''leap" into the arms Of the mau
she faucies. To prove this, we quote
from an Old work, printed in l6G0, enti-
tied "Courtship, Love and Natrimonie."
In the chapter entitled {" Ighes ye gi;r1es
J.aH spar.e ye nleaAe," the learned author
thus speaks:
"Albeit, it is move part Of ye Com
mon Lave IN regard to- ye social relations
of life, that as often as every besextile year
doth return, ye ladies' have ye sole priyil-
ege during the whole time i: eOntinueth,
Of making love unto ye men, which they
may Do either by words or looks, as unite
them it seemeth proper and moreover, no
man will be entitled to ye benefit of cler-
gy who doth refuse to accept ye offer of
ladye, or Who doth in any wise treat her
proposal with slight or contumely."
Therefore, ladies, you must comply With
the Law, and, bringing your capsives up
to the altar, allow them the benefit Of
clergy.

nsy ScHuYLkILL CouNTx MEETING The
following are the two principal resolutions
passed at the Democratic mass meeting held
at Pottsville, on the 4th inst, in regard to
the Presidency and the course Of Mr.. Hughes,
as delegate TO the Charleston Convention
Mr.. Hottenstine, who with Mr.. Hughes rep
resents this district, isnot even named. Mr..
Hottenstine, it seems, did not vote with Mr..
Hughes, but followed the lead Of Senator
Bigler, even to the extent of supporting MIR.
Bayard's resolutions, which favor the re.
opening of the foreign slave trade. He also
acted with Senator Biger in favor of Sc.
ceeding with the Southern fire eaters from
the convention, and voted, we understand,
against the admission Of reporters to note the
proceedings of the Pennsylvania delegation,
in caucus. Surely no good Democrat need
be ashamed Of having his actions published
to the world Had Mr.. HotteDstine simply
voted against Judge Douglas nomination, as
Mr.. Hughes did, be nigh. have been excusa-
BILE, but when he and few other Northern
dough faces swallowed the nigger whole, wool
and all, even moderate Southern men reyolted
at the spectacle:
ReSolred, That the course of our distin.
guished delegate, the Hon. +. w. Hughes,
to the National Democratic Convention at
Charleston, in voting for and sustaining the
principles of the party as enunciated in the
Cincinnati Platform meets with our unquali.
fed appreciation. And we believe that all
his votes given in that Convention, were
prompted by spirit Of patriotism and pure
devotion TO the union of these States and the
best interests OF Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That the Hon. Stephen A. Dou-
glos, by his long and constant public career,
and eminent services to the Democratic party,
is entitled to our highest admiration and re.
spect, and we believe without disparagement
20 the claims Of other eminent candidates)
that with him as the nominee Of the Balti-
more Convention, we would be more certain
to secure triumph over the combined forces
Of Black Republicanism, Abolitionists and
Disunonists, than with any other candidate.

Ouue lOOU.
The Senate concurred in the House amond.
pent to the Pacific Telegraph bill
An amendment was adopted appropriating
100000 FOR the distribution of the Govern
meut arms among the militia of several
States.

o'clock p. NJ.
Erening Session.-The Senate re. assembled
OF 6 o'clock
The amendment appropriating $4,000 for
eeeds and cuttings for the Patent Office, was
stricken out, but afterwards restored.
In the debate Mr.. Iverson ga, J showed
that the Agricultural Bureau had abused the
appropriations made for these purposes, by
paying the funds out to mere snccures, and
buying seeds 10 New York and PENNSYLVANIA,
aud distributing them in other sections at an
immense expense to the Government, which
could be bought at any store, in any town in
the country.
MIR. Brown (Miss.,) denounced this seed
distribution as humbug, and doubted if the
Patent Once ever sent any valuable seeds
throughout the country.
Mr.. Milan Mass iDtmated that the agri-
cultural bureau was about TO investigate the
cattle disease.
Dir. Brain hoped the nation would not turn
COW doctors
Mr.. Mallory fla said the agricultural
reports we're made out OF material plagarized
from books that ought to be in the library ot
every agrculturst.
The bill was considered until after lC
o'clock, when the Senate adjourned.
Mr.. Gurley (Ohio) from the Printing Com
nIttee, reported resolution, which was pass
ed, to print fifty thousand extra copies OF the
mechanical part of the Patent Office Report
ten thousand for the use of the Office and The
remainder for the members Of the House.

The stores 10 this place are not snly large and
capacious, but their business has been greatly
augmented. We noticed some weeks since
the stock of Messrs. Friling & Grant and

the arrival of heavy stock by L. Y. Bright
& Son. Mr.. Bright is well known as one OF
the most energetic and enterprising merchants
in this section Of country. His large stock

Of this and the neighboring counties. We
are pleased with this increasing evidence oil
prosperity in our merchants, whose enterprise
and industry will not go unrewarded.

The weapons used were double barrelled shot

rnE GAZETTE AND OURSELVES,

We con assure our neighbor of the Gd=etie
that our temper is not, nor has it been, in
the least, ruffled. We did not undertake to
lecture the editor Of the Gazette although we
thought we had just grounds to complain Of
him in misconstruing our language, instead
of meeting our arguments fairly and squarely.
In regard to our course on the question Of
the Presidency, nothing we have said or done
would justify the assumption that we intended
to raise the name of Gen. Cameron to the
head Of our columns, had be been nominated.
The long personal friendship between the
General and ourselves, could not have 10.
duced us to leave the party of our choice,
whatever our feelings and wishes might have
been towards him, personally.
We profess to be Democrat according to
the doctrines of the party, as laid down by
Jefferson and Madison, before such renegade
old federalists as Mr.. Buchanan aud Caleb
Gushing had interpolated the hereses that
have nearly ruined the party.
Those who know US best, know that we
have always been too independent to be an
Office seeker, if we even had any such inclina-
ton. The emoluments, to US at least, are
not sufficient inducements, and as for the
honors, we think they are entirely too cheap
to allure rs from our position of indepen.
dence.
Our neighbor says be would prefer Edward
Everett, on the Cincinnati platform, to any
other man. But would not this be reversing
the old fable, by covering the lion with the
ass's skin The ears might not stick out,
but the tail unquestionably would. We look
upon these platforms, composed as they
often are of crooked unsound and rotten
planks, in most instances as pit falls, through
which politicians are constantly ralling-many
of them to rise no more.
These platforms, in both parties, are sim.
ply compromises among Office hunters for o
distribution of the spoils.
No, friend John, We have no aspirations
for office, and much less to be an organ, or
iu other words, the slave Of party. We
play our trumpet to suit ourselves and those
who do not like the music need not pay the
piper.

We noticed the fact last week that this
company were making examinations for the
purpose of selecting a site for an engine
house, machine shop, &C. After mature con-
sideration Mr.. Gay, the Vice President OF
the road, selected position on COL Cakes
farm, Just above the borough line. Some OF
our citizens, with view Of securing the loca.
ton in the borough, got up subscription,
and in q few hours raised one thousand dol
lars for the purchase of the saw mill lot
containing about three acres, fronting on
Cranberry street, and offered to present the
same to the company, TO be used for the
above purpose If deemed advisable. Mr.. Gay
examined the location, and felt strongly in
cliued to accept the generous offer, but re-
gretted to say, after q careful survey of the
ground, that although it might answer for
the present. yet in view Of the future business
of the road, when completed, the ground was
too limited and restricted by the basin and
railroad track. Mr.. Gay stated that safe
foot bridge would be constructed over the
trestle work, for the workmen and others to
pass to and from towr, and that the distance
would be little, if any further from Market
stseet than the buildings Of the Northern
Central road, below town.

week, recommending me as a candidate for Pro-

ton of the Peoples Party. am at loss to know
what prompted "Shamokin" to send in this COM

one intend to play off hoax, and thereby place
me in an awkward position before some of my

interded to hoax me thus, that am able to take
