Serious Accident. ' the condition of affuirs, but whether it will
Mr. William Coolbaugh, a citizen of this j succeed is a doubtful question,
pl-tce, met with a very serious accident on j Subsequently, Mr. Wise, of Jefferson, in
Saturday last. He was engaged in adjusting troduced a resolution in the House asking the
a band upon one of the wheels attached to j appointment of a committee to investigate the

which threw the machinery out of gear, or
he must have been instantly killed. Ampu

of a speedy recovery.
Mn. Clay's health is said to be daily im

The .Rhode Island Senate passed, by a
majority of three, a bill for abolishing the
punishment of death substituting imprison
ment for life. In older to provide against the
abuse of the pardoning power, the bill pro

for any term exceeding five years, can be re
leased, except by a concurrent vote of three
quarters of the members of both branches of
the Legislature.

Canal Cormnisftioner.
Mr. Editor. The Whig State Conven
tion will soon convene. One of its impor
tant duties will be the selection of a candi
date for Canal Commissioner. The impor
tance of selecting a good matt, cannot be
loo strongly impressed, upon those who will
have that duty to perform. The interior of
the State will no doubt get the candidate, if
one is presented having all the requisite
tjualifications ; and the show that she has an
individual of this character, it is but necessa-
ry to name WM. M. LLOYD, Esq., of Blair
county. He is a sound, unflinching and work

Hive business qualifications, purely honest in
all his dealings, and possesses a character

Mr. George Heindel, a citizen of Windsor
twp., was frozen to dcatli on Monday the 2Gth
of January, on his return home from town,
from w.hich he was hauling lime. He was
found about a mile and a half below Dallas
town, and not much more than a mile from
his own residence, having unhitched his hor
ses, two of which made their way home the
third being blind, he had probably attempted
to ride or lead. .

FraiEiis on Use Public Works
investigating CotntniUcc.
Some days ago Mr. Muhlenburg submitted
i . . . . i? i i
j a resolution m ine bennie, which was uuop
, led calling on the Auditor General and State
Treasurer for a State of the real cost arid
' receipts of the State improvements. It is
surmised that the true condition of these
works is not given in the annual report, but
is eupprcsed by the commissioners or their a-
! gents. Hence the resolution of inquiry, which
is desiffned to elicit a truthful statement of
ascertained that tho chairman was in earnest
in the movement and contemplated a thorough-
investigation, not only of the actual condition
of the road, but also of certian rumored frauds
in relation tocontracts and other matters, dis
closing a system of favoritism and corruption
which would startle the public and bring con
fusion and disgrace upon the commissioners
and their agents.
This state of affairs would never do; and a
terrible fluttering ensued amongst the friends
of the commissioners, and accordingly on
Thursday last, Mr.-Shugart moved aj-ccon-sideration
of the vote, on the resolution ap
pointing the committee. This gave rise to
an animated debate, in which Messrs. Mcy-.
ers, Wise, Flanigan, and Hart opposed the
motion to reconsider ; and Messrs Shugart,
Rhey and James (of Warren) favored it.
Mr. Wise pronounced that road to be the
hot-bed of corruption, and a burning- lazar
hoxist of iniquity !
Mr. Flunigan made a very eloquent speech
ripon this text. He regarded the motion at
an attempt to stifle a proper inquiry and have
n itthitp.tr. a shin"- committee raised. I
Mr. Hart stated in his place that the Ca- '
nal Commissioners pledged themselves last j
year, to apply the appropriation of 8175,000 '
to making a road from the foot of Plane No. j
1 to Plane No. 4, hieh pledge had been vi-1
i . i 1T , , , , . . '
olated. He had prepared an amendment to l
tho nnnrnnrintinn hill of W. vP,r n that Pf.
fed but had not offered it, in consideration of.
the pledge . referred to. j
Messrs. Bonham and Blair would be in fa
vorofthe motion, had it not been for the public
charge on the floor of the House, of corrup
tion. In view of this charge, they thought
the investigation should be made. ;
The House adjourned without disposing of
the Question, and the subject hag not since
been resumed.
We trust the investigation will not be
smothered, as such matters too generally are,
but that it will be faithfully and honestly pros
ecuted, and if fraud and corruption exists, let
it be exposed and the perpetrators puniehed
and held up to the public scorn. j
We heard of these rumors of frauds on the
Portage and other portions of the public works, )
during the late canvass for Governor, and j
drew attention to them in the Daily Ameri- j

From the Delaware Valley Diarist.
Improvement of the Delaware.
Legislative action is about being asked by
Captain Young and his associates, for the im
provement of the navigation of the Delaware
river. It is weil known to your readers that
CaPl- YouuS h?iB built a stcam boat to &
belwcen this Pkce and Easton' at lar&e ex
Pditure of money ; the boat was finished
aboot the flrst of AuSU6t la8t' but n Con8e-
uenC8 of lhe ?Xtreme loW Water f the, pa6t
summer, was unable to ascend the falls be-
DV"M"""
tween Place and Trenton. A tempera-
ry rise of the water enabled the boat to reach
here late in the fall, and an attempt was
made to reach Easton, but in couaequence of
the rapid falling of the water was unsuccess
ful having grounded in Howell's Pall's. Of
the feasibility of navigating the Delaware
river by steamboats there i'b no doubt ; but to
do this and guarantee to the travelling com
munity a regular and certain conveyance,
will require a heavy expenditure of capital
in blowing out rocks to strdighten the chan
nel, the clearing away of bars, &c, and du
ring the summer and fall seasons, the erec
tion of temporary wing dams to throw the
water into the channel.
This clearing is propoied to be done by
Capt. Young and his associates, under the
i sanction of legislative authority so as to se
cure to themselves tho right of running their
steamboat, under wch restrictions as the leg
islature may deem just in the case. What

I am awart the railroad to Trenton has in

modations to our cities than any other town
of its size in the United State. Its citizens
as well as all those in the many flourishing
towns around it, would be brought, by this
improvement, through our town.
The improvements proposed to be made by
Capt. Young' and associates, will in no way
interfere with the present rafting or boating
channel but on the contrary will improve
it; but aside from this, Capt. Young asks for
nothing unreasonable he asks for nothing
but what the whole community along the
shores of the Delawere are willing to grant
him for the expenditure of his money in ben
efitting the present navigation of the river,
and securing to himself the steam navigation.
This is justice, and the citizens ask that it
mar be granted. I have heard of no one who
is not in favor of the grant.

Pardons.
Some of the charges brought against
Gov. Johnston by his opponents, during
the last campaign was, that he had exer
cised the pardoning power in several ca
ses. If we remember correctly, Col Big
ler himself made the grave charge against
him. and now he is scarcely warm in his
seat until he stretches forth his hand and
pardons the kidnapper, Alberti, who was
sentenced in Philadelphia, last summer,
to ten years' imprisonment. The Gov
ernor's conduct proves that he is not an
ungrateful man. He remembers the
Southern influence which was brought to
bear upon the last election, and now in
imitation of the man who never forgot a
favor, he repays southern kindness.
This is meeting out 'exact justice to all.'
It is said that some of his own p opti
cal friends will take him to task for this
act.

Evading the Maine Liquor
ILaw.
Some ingenious devices are adopted in
Maine to evade the stringent liquor law
of that State. A few days ago a coffin,
at first supposed to contain the remains
of some deceased person, was carried
j through the streets in Portland, but the
suspicions of the police being excited, it
was opened, and lo ! it was touna to be
full of bottles of Whiskey, which were
immediately confiscated. It is said a
wag who saw the operation remarked
that, contrary to the usual c.ourso of
things, the coffin in this, case contained

Those of our readers who have felt
the excrutiating pains of this disease,
and like ourselves, have experienced but
little human sympathy on such occasions,
will no doubt be gratified to be put in
possession of a remedy which will in all
probabilty forever quiet the unmerciful
offender.
On one occasion, while laboring under
the tortures of this disease, a friend en
tered the room, and after learning the
cause of his suffering, joyously exclaim
ed :
"Why my dear friend, I can cure you
in five minutes."
"How? how?" enquired we.
" Have you any alum ?"
" Yes."
" Bring it and some common salt."
They were produced my friend pul
verized them, and mixed them in equal
quantities ; then wet a small piece of cot
ton, causing the mixed powders, to ad
here, and placed it in the hollow 'tooth.
" There," said he, "if that does not
cure you, I wili forfeit my head."
It was as predicted. On the introduc
tion of the mixed alum and salt, a sensa
tion of coldness was experienced which
gradually subsided, and with it the tor
ment of the toothache.
