After perusing the above extract. certainly
no American Patriot should be ashamed of
being called Union Saver, for the father OF
his Country was one. We think it is rather
a matter of pride to stand on the Platform
which he erected The attempt is now being
made to .'weaken the links which bind to-
gether the various parts" of this Union, and
certainly it is the duty of the Democracy as
its friends, to Indignantly frown OH the at
tempt, and prevent the aiders and abetors of
treason from laying profane hands on the ark
of our rights as frcemen.
1t may be thought that We alluded to this
subject too often, and that like the poet our
Harp has one unchanging theme" But it
should not be forgotten. that this is the great
political issue of the day, and that the ap-
preaching Presidential contest will be fought
by the friends of the Union on one side, and
its enemies on the other The time for action
has arrived, and it is right the democracy
should know the kind of foes they will be

attempted arrest Of Coppic-His Escape
"A few days ago. an officer from Virginia
arrived at Des Moines, Iowa. with requisi-
tion from the Governor of Virginia on the
Governor IF Iowa, for the body of young
Coppic, brother of the one who was executed
at Charlestown, ;. for participation IN the Har-
per's Ferry disturbance. Young Coppic, af-
ter the arrest of his brother and John Brown
managed to escape to Canada. but recently
returned home at Spring Grove, Iowa, Gov
ernor Kirkwood, on examining the Virginia
officers papers. stated that they were infor-
NAL and refused his warrant. The officer
then sought the aid of the United States Mar
shall, but, in the meantime, friend of Cop
pic started on Iorseback to inform him of his
danger; and it is presumed he escaped before
the United States Marshal could reach bis
house.

laid before the Board, aud laid over for fu-
ture consideration.
Resolred, That the income from occupa-
tons, mercantile and other employments.
ought by law TO be made the subjects oftaxa-
ton. as well as real and personal estate
Resolred, That in the opinion of this
Board the aggregate valuation of property
made taxable by law for State purposes by
the Revenue Board of 1857, should not be
exceeded; and that this Board should adopt
that valuation as maxim, beyond which the
necessities of the Commonwealth do not re-
quire an increase; and that this Board under
its powers, conferred by law to equalize, may
reduce as well as raise the respective valua.
tons returned from the several counties o
this Commonwealth.

For the Democrat and Sentinel.

The Report of the State Superintendent of
Common Schools for the year 1859. contains
some excellent suggestions. among which may
be found the following:
L. To allow County Superintendents in case
of pressure of time arising from sickness or
the bother to employ one or more assistants
for limited time.
2. To fix the salaries by law, according to
some ratio, such as the number of square
miles. the number of taxables, or the number
of schools. This would be just. though it
would reduce the share of Cambria County to
about 400 dollars. In the State there are
600, 900 taxables. while in Cambria County
there are not 800 The amount paid by the
State for that purpose being $4,000 dollars,
would give Cambria 400 dollars, or there
abouts. This would at least reduce the num-
Der of applicants for the Office.
3. To elect no N an to he Office but a tried
practical teacher, land not disabled inert
or unsuccessful mem Der of the professions"
| 4. To grant the State Superintendent the
power to remove subordinates, without being
subject to a review by the courts. This
however will not likely be done, as it would
be an Infringement upon the power and au-
thority of the Judiciary.
| 5. To increase the State appropriation, es-
pecially this year. in order to relieve the Dis
tricts blighted by last springs frost. This is
praise worthy suggestion.
g. To allow reasonable compensation to
the State Superintendent for travelling and
visiting the different Districts in the State
T. The establishment of Normal Schools
for the education of teachers, to be nodded
after the Lancaster Normal School, and
aided with small appropriation.
There are many other important sugges-
tioDs which we have not time to enumerate.
Upon the whole, this is an able report, and
reflects much credit upon its author, Hon. III
G. Hickok, who, we are sorry to learn, init
mates that he will not be a candidate for re
election. Yours,

Flre.-The small frame dwelling house in
the East end of town, one door West of the
old Toll House, was discovered to be on fire
on last Saturday morning about half past
eight o'clock. The alarm was promptly given
and nearly all our citizens promptly repaired
to the scene of action, bucket in hand, ''Der
Machine" known as the fire engine. was also
on the ground in due time, but being unfor-
tunately ''frozen up" wouldn't work The
roof in which the fire had caught, being CON-
posed of dry shingles burned rapidly. The
crowd now divided into three squads The
first formed line to neighboring pump
and conveyed water f.om it to the house which
was on fire, and employed it promptly in ex-
tinguishiDg the flames. By this means they
soon succeeded in putting OUT the fire, but
not until most of the roof was destroyed The
building was not otherwise materially injured
The second having succeeded in procuring a
tea kettle full Of boiling water, turned their
attention TO thawing the Engine, in which
they succeeded admirably about the time the
FIRE was entirely extinguished The third
turned their attention to removing the furni-
ture from the house and breaking things gen.
orally. They also were remarkably success
ful in their arduous undertaking. One gen.
tleman determined that dozen of crooks
should not be left prey to the devouring ell
ement, pitched them out of a window, and
allowed the hard pavement the pleasure of
breaking them into hundred fragments
Many similar deeds of dauntless daring were
performed during the trying occasion. The
building belongs to Mr.. John Thomas, and
is we learn. insured in the Lycoming Insu-
rance Company. 1t was occupied by an old
gentleman named John Evans, and we re-
gret to learn his furniture, particularly a

re- Yesterday was St. Valent tine day the
day on which according to an ancient tradi-

ever understood that the feathered ladies and
gentlemen merely meet on that day, and af-
ter few remarks from that dignifed and
wise looking gentleman called the owl ad-
journ until the 1st of May regarding it as the
proper time to choose mate
And proper time to marry"
1t is also the day on which sentimental
lovers send greeting" to each other in the
shape of sentimental poems, which far sur
passes the Strains of love- born sappho, or pic
lures of hearts pierced with one of cupid's
arrows, all of which is of course very touch
ing sentimental and refined. The romance is
considerably damaged" by the comic Valen-
tines which are even more abundant than the
sentimental, probably because they don't
cost so much. The Valentine nuisance has
been considerably abated of late years by the
law which requires the prepayment of the
postage on letters.
