The North American states that
the Legislature at Harrisburg has
passed bill repeating the law which
required the clerks of markets in
Philadelphia to weigh butter, lard
and sausages, and therefore the
farmers and the hog butcher may
hereafter give short weight without
fear of confiscation. The next best
thing to this will probably be to
pass a law abolishing all curbstones
markets, all public street market
houses, and all such offices as clerks
of markets.
Mrs. G. W. Fink, residing near
Port Royal, was severely burned in
the face, and in her arms, by quar-
ter of pound of gun powder explo-
ding in her hands while she was ex-
amining it to find out what it con-
tanned. The package had found its
way to a pile of rubbish that she was
burning in the garden; she raked
the package away from the fire, took
it in her hands, a spark had set the
paper around the powder on fire, and
before Mrs. Fink knew what she was
handling the explosion took place.
Is our boyhood days story was
in circulation that Senator William
Wallace. was identified with the is
SUING of bogus naturalization papers
to foreigners in Clearfeld county.
Under date of April Il, 1853, Mr..
Wallace issues letter denying the
charge, and the Democratic press of
the State is correspondingly diligent
to give the letter the widest circrIla-
ton. If the report was false, the
truth comes limping long way be-
hind, as truth generally does to cor
rect falsehood. 1t is said that
Wallace is to be candidate for the
Presidency, and he is preparing the
road to have the naturalization pap
er story cleared out OF the way.
