YnI1NG LADY ratlrninp to he

A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after a sojourn of few months in
the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness and instead of twenty three she really ap-
peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con-
sdered it invaluable acquisition to any Lady g

A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.

We see by telegraphic report, that
Gen. Swayne, one of the sub-satraps
under the Reconstruction Law, copl-
manding the post of Mobile, Ala, has
suppressed the publication of tie Ma
Honal Republican, Radical Negro or
gan, on the ground that it has uttered
"incendiary" matter. The article COM
planned of was one instructing the ne
groes "when and how to use firearms. !"
Now, we are for the freedom of the
press all the time, no matter what
cause the publisher may advocate. We
deprecate the course ofGen. Swayne in
regard to this Radical sheet just as
much as we condemned the conduct of
Lincoln's administration in closing the
offices of the ". Y Day6ook and other
Democratic journals throughout the
North. Doubtless, the Negro organ at
Mobile exceeded the bounds of law;
but, then, it's publisher could have been
punished according to law, without
forcibly stopping his press. The Rad
ical party are now getting a taste of
their own medicine. We sincerely
hope it may cleanse their stomachs of
the bile which has made them the
scourge of the country.

A Coon CHAsE.-It was anovel sight
truly, to see Thos. F. Zeigler, John M.
Dixson and James Doyle, three Broad
Toppers, crossing the field of Mr. John
Grain in hot pursuit ofa coon. Zeigler
and Dixon led the hunt. Doyle ran
well too, but a good way behind. The
coon being too close pursued took ref
fuge in an old barn, climbed to the roof
and strange to relate, was broughtdown
in Davy Crockett style, without injury to
either captors or coon. His coonship
is now domiciled in small habitation
at the residence of Mr.. Grain, prepared
by the parties who captured an old
coon without the assistance of dogs. S.
Brooks, Esq, and R. Divelbliss were
the delighted witnesses of the chase

The jubilation of the Gazette over
the release of Jeff Davis.-LaQuirer.
When and how did the GAZETTE re-
ioice over "the release of jeff. Davis ?"
Point us to the line or sentence in which
our 'jubilation" over that event is ex-
pressed, or be forever silent. We de-
sire that Jefferson Davis shall be tried
for Treason, by the proper civil court
and by jury of his countrymen fairly
and lawfully empaneled. We want to
know what constitut es Treason in this
country, or whether there is any such
crime as Treason. If Mr.. Davis is not
tried, we shall be greatly disappointed.

trial d? Has that sheet ever urged upon
Judge Chase and the Radical U. S. Dis
trict Attorney for Virginia, the impor-
tance of having judicial disposition
of the case of Jefferson Davis? Never

MEXICO.
feat.

The struggle between the Imperial
and Liberal parties in Mexico, has end
ed i'm the overthrow of the former,
Maximilian and his lieutenants having
surrendered unconditionally to EscObe-
do, the commander of the JuareZ forces.
The downfall of the ill-starred emperor
has been evident ever since the with
drawal of the French troops. The Lib
eral army began to increase in numbers
and efficiency just as soon as the last
French bayonet disappeared from Mex
lean soil. 1t had been scattered into
insignificant guerrilla parties, formida-
BILE only to travellers and unprotected
trains, but from this condition it ral-
lied, gained few small successes over
the Imperialists, recruited, won some
important victories and finally hemmed
in its enemy at Queretaro, which, un-
der the command of Maximilian in
person, made brave and desperate re-
sistance, only to become at last, the
scene of the de11oWen1e1t of the Franco
Austrian Mexican empire. 1t is said
that Juarez has determined that Max
imilian and his officers shall be shot.
The sympathy of Americans has been
with the Liberals in their struggle to
drive Maximilian from the country,
but if the restoration of that party is
to be signalized by so barbarous an act
as the execution of the Imperial lead
ers, we hardly know whether even the
yindication of the Monroe Doctrine
will justify us in continuing our good
wishes for the "Patriot President. y
Let us hope that no such tragedy viii
wind up the Franco-Austrian farce in
Mexico, but that humanity, order and
peace will mark the rule of the restor-
ed President.

In our issue of week before last, we
proposed that if the Radicals of this
Representative district would nomi-
nate but one candidate for member of
the Legislature, we would agree that
no Democratic candidate should be
placed in nomination for Poor Director.
We made this proposition in good
faith, in order to soothe the anxiety of
the Bedford Inquirer as we'll in regard
to Poor House affairs as to the incor-
ruptibility of the next Legislature.
But our very liberal offer has been re-
jected, and it becomes the painful duty
of the Democracy to elect one of their
own number as Poor Director, which
they will now do by a larger majority
than ever was given before to any can
didate for that Office. The Inquirer has
acknowledged, time and again, that
the Legislature needs reformation. But
it is unwilling to permit Democrats to
be elected for that purpose. Now,
then, if Radicals only are to reform the
Legislature, let us see that none but
Democrats are elected to reform affairs
at the Poor House. The Inquirer seems
to be afraid that if it were to assent to
our proposition, we might be chosen by
our party to represent this district in
the Legislature. On that point we can
only say, that Radicalism has made the
title of Member of the Legislature"
synonymous with Thief and Ro66er,
and we choose to keep clear of such
company. Until the Augean stables
at Harrisburg are cleaned, we prefer
the private station" Besides, legisla-
tive life has not the attractions for us
that it is, doubtless, supposed to have
by the "standing candidate" of the IN
Q1irer, who measures our oats in his
own half bushel." To him we say that
whenever we fall so low, politically,
that we can't carry single district for
a party nomination, or fail to receive
half dozen votes at our own poll for
such nomination, we hope at least to
have sense enough left not to say or do
anything which would bring us into
comparison with men who have been
the chosen standard-bearers of their
party, when the fightraged hottest and
thickest, and in victory as well as in de-
feat.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-A daring
high way robbery was perpetrated upon
George w. Kuhns, resident of this
place, while in a buggy on the road
leading to Glatz's Ferry, in Hellam
township. The affair occurred on Sun
day of last week. AS Mr.. Kuhns was
driving along, he was asked by John
Wolf, citizen of Hellam township, for
seat in his buggy. Mr.. Kuhns con-
sented. Shortly afterwards heattempt-

of Wolf, when Mr.. Kuhns finding re-

off to the nearest house. AS soon as he
was able to procure some assistance, he

SUPREME JUDGE.-Since it has been
understood that Judge Chapman of
Bucks, positively refuses the use of his
name i'm connection with the office of
Judge of the Supreme Court, public
sentiment of the democracy of this
county has been gradually inclining
towards Judge Sharswood of Philadel-
phia. Judge S. ranks deservedly among
the ablest jurists not only of this State
but of the whole country. His integ--
rity as man, is above suspicion; and
the ability, and impartiality which
have characterized his conduct as one
of the Judges of the District Court of
Philadelphia, have secured for him the
respect and confidence of men of all
parties in that city. There is proba--
bly,, no man in the State, better fitted
in all essential qualifications, than
Judge S. to succeed Judge Woodward

United states Burial Corps Attacked
and Driven from their W0rks--Fhe
S'LOyaI COlOred Men, on the Rampage.
From the Richmond Examiner, May 30.
On Monday afternoon last party of
sixty colored men, belonging to the
burial corps, stationed near Danville,
went into the town for the avoWed pur-
pose of "setting the town to rights"
Shortly after getting into the corpora
ton, they met with a white citizen,
with whom they got into an alterca-
ton; very high words ensued, and
threats of bodily violence were made
towards him. About this time a color
ed man Giving in Danville) came up,
and took up the quarrel of the white
man He was quickly reinforced By
colored men, and quite large number
of them gathered on the ground. A
melee tnsued, pistols, stones, bricks,
and other missiles were freely used on
both sides. After a stubborn fight, the
burial corps negroes were driven out Of
town, into their camp. Three or four
of them were wounded quite seriously.
Two of the resident negroes of Dan
vile received wounds, but not of a SER
ious character. The negroes connected
with the burial corps were employed
during the war, and since, for a short
time, in guarding confederate prison
ers, an6 have been very turbulent and
disorderly since they have been in Dan
vile, and have been frequently engag
ed in disturbances with the colored
people of the town. During the riot
on Monday, Captain Taylor, of the
burial corps, was very energetic in his
efforts to suppress it, and was promptly
and efficiently seconded by the police
force of the town. Everything that
could be done by the authorities, mill
tary and civil, to stop it, was done, but
without success, until the burial corps
negroes were driven out of the town to
their camp.

responsible. A pretty way of getting
rid of an unpleasant responsibility,
