LAST CALL.
Every man who has neglected to pay his subscription for the last year and those who arc in arrears since 1854 are requested to make immediate settlement and save cost, as we intend to commence sueing.— We have thrown grass long enough and like the old man in the fable shall try what virtue there is stones.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. This body assembled at the Capital on last Wednesday, and is said to be the largest Convention ever convened in the State. The city is densely thronged, and every hotel filled to overflowing. The Republicans arc amazed and frightened at the enormous outpouring of the Democratic masses. Many of their leaders openly acknowledge that the Indiana Democracy will prove more formidable in the approachii!3 campaign than ever. The appointment of Delegates to Charleston, with instructions to vote for Douglas, and the firm and steady adherence to the Cincin"'cinnati platform has grievously disappoint- .»• ed (he sectional party of Indiana, who .cherished the delusive hope that the slavc•code doctrine of Bright, Uobinson & Co., would be adopted, and the great leader o! the Democracy and the author of popular sovereignty repudiated. The action of the .Convention is a triumph of the masses over the machinations of truckling politicians and time servers. That arch demagogue Eobiuson, and his paltry clique have been rebuked, and the glorious principles

WOMAN FROZEN TO UKATII. On Thursday night of last week a very distressing casualty occurred in Colchester, in this county, being no less than the death, by freezing, of .Mrs. Isabella Craig. She ha 1 been out washing that day, and after night started for home, less than half a mile distant. She never reached her home, but her body was found about ten o'clock Friday morning frozen almost stiff, within a stone's throw of her house. It would seem that after starting home she had accomplished the greater part of the distance, and that she became bewildered and incapable of rightly directing her steps. In this condition she walked round and round a small circle, of not more than thirty feet in diameter. Her path was distinctly marked in the snow. At several places there were indications of her having fallen, and thence struggled or crawled before regaining her feet. Probably for hours she marched this weary road, while the wind mocked her frantic calls, and the driven snoiv blinded her eyes, and the intense cold fast chilled and congealed the current of life. Where she lay down to sleep, as she doubtless thought, but iu reality to sleep the sleep that knows no waking, there were no signs of her having suffered a particle of pain.— Her clothes were properly about her, her hands properly folded, and the snow undisturbed. Mrs Craig was born in Scotland, and was almost sixty-six years of .age. She was a remarkably stout and healthy woman- We were told that she once carried a stove on her head from Macomb to Clochcster, a distance of six miles that she carried at one load eleven bushels of brau from Tennessee to Colchester, four miles: and our informant told us that, he saw her carry a quarter of beef, weighing near a hundred pounds, fifty pounds offlour and a basket of groceries, ail at one time. —Macomb (Ills.)

flfSfThe Louisville Democrat, shows, in a late article, the suicidal folly of those Southern Democrats who are warring on DOUGi.AS on account of his Territorial views, and which are the views of ninetynine out of every hundred Democrats in the North. If DOUGLAS is to be killed off for entertaining them, so must nearly the entire Democracy of the free States. The Democrat puts the case very strongly to such Southern Democrats: "The South can't do without (hem iu this Union, and maintain a s!.ow in the councils of the nation. A war on them is suicidal and a wrangle with them on a point useless to us, but fatal to them, is unstatesmanliko and unpatriotic. Will not the common sense of the Democratic party stop it? God pity the party in the hands of such engineers! They arc laboring with a zeal which nothing but hate could inspire to crush themselves out.— What harm do they expect to do Douglas
that will not fall with one crushing wciirht

THE I.I EE ANI DEATH OF A MISEU. Michael Jiaird (or Bear as he is sometimes called) who lived near Little York, Pennsylvania, was a miserable miser. His father left a valuable farm of five hundred
farming and household articles. He kept a tavern for a number of years—married, and raised four children. He accumulated an immense estate, which he reserved so tenaciously that he never afforded a dollar for the education of his children. He never was known to lay out one dollar in ,. cash for any article he mi"ht be iu need 'nn-s- Still he was taken out and lived
of he would cither do without it, or find some person who would barter with him for something ho could not conveniently sell for money, lie farmed largely anil kept a large distillery, which he supplied entirely with his own grain. He kept a team for conveyance of his whiskey to Baltimore, where, when he could not sell for money at a price to suit him he bartered for necessaries for his family and tavern. In this way he amassed an estate worth four hundred thousand dollars.
Such was his attachment to money that lie was never known to credit a single dollar to any man. Upon the best mortgage or security that could be given lie would not lend a cent. He never vested one dollar to public funds, neither would he keep the notes of any bank longer than he could get them changed. He deposited his specie in a large iron chest, until it would hold no more. He then provided a strong iron-hooped barrel, which he also filled. After his death his strong boxes yielded two hundred and thirty thousand djllars in gold and silver.

LAWK i:\cn, MASS., Jan. 10.—One of the most terrible catastrophes on record occur red in this city this afternoon. The Pemberton Mills fell with a sudden crash at about five o'clock, while some six or seven hundred operatives were at work. The mills arc a complete wreck. Some two $ three hundred persons are supposed to be still in the ruins. At preseut it is impossible to give anything like a correct statement. of t!:e loss of life, but from the best authority it is believed that at least two hundred are dead in the ruins. Eighteen dead bodies have already been taken out, together with some twenty-five persons mortally wounded, besides some fifty in different stages of mutilation. Mr. Chase, the agent of the mill, and Mr. Howe, the treasurer, escaped by running from the falling building. It impossible as yet to tell the cause of the disaster:
On reporter has just come from the ruins, aud the scenes there beggar all description. Some two or more acres of ground arc piled up with every description of machinery of the fallen buildings. Huge bonfires are burning to light two or three thousand persons who arc at work, as if for their own lives, to rescue the unfortunate persons, many of whom are still crying and begging to be released from their tortures. Every few minutes some poor wretch is dragged from his prison, and it is heartrending to hear their cries as they are drawn out with legs and arms crushed and torn. One man shockingly mangled cut his own throat to end his agony. The whole city seems to be in mourning. Many are running through the streets and with frantic cries are searching the ruins. Temporary hospitals have been arranged for those rescued. Many stand by the wreck frigid with despair, after a terrible crash caused by the clearing away threatened death to all who may still be alive in the ruins.
Gangs of men with ropes below, are constantly dragging out large pieces of the wreck which imprison so many. Some of the rescuers were killed in their humane efforts. Since we left the scene of disaster, reports of more of the dead and dying are constantly coming to us. Surgeons are coming in from all directions, and everything that can be done at such a painful moment is doing for the suffering victims of the fatal calamijy, the mystery of which will have to be cleared up by an inque.stj
SECOND DISPATCH.
Il:o0 P.M.—At about 1U minutes after 5 o'clock this afternoon, our citizens were warned by the cry of fire, which proceeded from tlie Pembcrton Mill, about four-fifths of which had fallen a shapeless mass, without the slightest warning to the nearly 800 human beings who were then at work. The building was never considered to be as staunch as it ought to be. It was built about seven years ago, and was then thought a sham indeed, before the machinery was put in, the walls spread to such an extent that some twenty-two tons of iron slats were put in to save it from falling by its own weight.
From the best information that can be gathered, the building appeared to crumble and fall from the eastern corner or end. It fell inwards. The fire department at once repaired to the spot, but there being no fire, they at once set to work with a will to remove the rubbish. They very soon
reached some rooms, so that the dead and t"'l'dornia, have made arrangements wounded were taken out as fast as they
mail beings were actually buried in the ruins. A woman just rescued, says there arc some twenty-five more in the vicinity of her yet alive. About half past nine, fire was discovered. This additional horror struck terror to the hearts that had before been hopeful of saving more lives.— Still the work of removal w:ent on, the force-pump and engines ou the grounds were at once got to work, and have been pouring torrents on, so that at 11:30 the fire does not seem to gain, and hopes are entertained that it will be stayed.
Those near the breakiu_ were almost on the point of extracting a woman, not much hurt, but the flames drove them back, aud the woman supposed perished.
The Mayor lias telegraphed for the Lowell firemen, who will arrive here about 1 o'clock.
The fire, which fiually sacrificed the buried human beings, caught without doubt from a lantern of burning fluid, which was accidentally dropped. One fireman dropped dowu dead in the street from over exertion.
Friends, who beforo the fire were alternating between hope and fear, are now settling down into hopeless despair.
A portion of the operatives had gone to supper previous to the falling of the building about 600 remaining. The building was five stories high, 280 feet long by 70 feet .wide, with a wing on the west side 45
feet square, shaped like the letter L. I* ran 2,700 spindles 960 operatives were employed.
Three persons are known to hare been literally roasted. alive. The fire is subdued. Only two bodies have been taken out since the conflagration. Coroner Lamb commences an inquest to-day.
One o'clock, P. M., 11th.—We have but very little additional in regard to the dreadful catastrophe. A large number of the killed were young girls, many of them being the main support of their parents.— The fire was confined to the ruins of the Pemberton Mills.
The loss of property is estimated at $600,000. BOSTON, Jan. 11.—The Lawrcnee catastrophe casts a gloom over the city.— Hon. David Scars, presided at a meeting of twenty gentleman, to-day, who subscribed $2,0*00 for the relief of the sufferers, and appointed a committee to select further contributions.
John Ward, operative in the carding room of the second story, who was miraculously saved, with his wife, describes his escape as follows: "I was in the carding room with the Second Overseer, lighting up. It was five or ten minutes before five and we had but a few burners lighted. Suddenly we heard a loud thundering crash overhead, and looking up, saw the shafting coming down all over the room terrified I stood fast to the spot although I knew the building was coining on me then I heard the Overseer shout. I tried to jump out of the rubbish but something struck me senseless. When I came to, I found myself in the rubbish covered with blood wounds on my face.— Finally I crawled up and got to the top and found a lot of ruins hanging over me which like to have taken my life, but I succeeded in getting out. I passed a dead girl and two mangled bodies. When first I was knockcd down, I fell under a heavy grinding stone which was too heavy to give way to the weight above. Ward found his wife at the City Hall.
The following is one of the heart-rending incidents: Margaret Hamilton, aged 14 thi3 was her first day's work her devoted mother attended, and when asked what injuries her daughter had received, replied, "her arm is broken, and her head is broken, and Oh, my God," (and here the poor woman burst into tears) "my poor darling is all broken." The unfortunate girl died today. The daughter was the main support of the mother and four children.
Miss Olive Bridges, of Calais, Me., who worked in the fifth story, seized the hoisting chain of the elevator, and went safely down and escaped uninjured. Before the building caught afire, a number of those imprisoned beneath the ruins could be seen and conversed with. Drinks and refreshments, in some eases, were passed to them. When the fire spread over the ruins they found escape hopeless, and bid adieu to friends, and in several cases gave directions as to the disposal of their effects.
In one part of the building a hole was battered through a wall, and through it could be seen three young women, who said they were not at all injured. One thrust her arm through the.small hole and begged to be drawn through it, but before the aperture could be made large enough, the flames drove the men awav, and the prisoners perished.
A jury was summoned, who, after reviewing the dead, adjourned till to-mor-row,
The insurance on the niill.i was $115,000, said to be against fire only.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette gives quite a leugthy account of a Thanksgiving Dinner at Berlin, Prussia, on the 24th of November last, in which some twenty-five Americans participated. Those peculiarly American Thanksgiving dishes, turkey, beans, and pumpkin pie, figured largely in the repast. It would appear from the following paragraph that our ex-Governor was on hand:
There at the corner is our popular, genial, ungrammatical, earnest, excitable, intelligent Ambassador to Prussia, Gov. Joseph A. Wright of the Stato of Indiana, which, like a true Hoosier, be accounts the only State in the Union worth making public mention of.

TIIE MODK OF TAKINC THE UNITED STATES CENSUS. The following account of the method adopted in taking the census of the United States we copy from an address made by Mr. Kennedy, Superintendent of the Census, before the American Geographical and Statistical Society in New York on the 1st inst., which at the present moment will be read with interest:
The General Government has in each State and Territory one or more "Judicial Districts, with each of which is connected a Marshal, who acts as High Sheriff in the District Court of the United States.
These Marshals are required by law to subdivide their districts, and for each subdivision to appoint an assistant—taking
In the prosecution of their work they arc required to make two copies of their work. The original returns are filed with the elerk of the court of each county, and the eopics are forwarded to the Marshal, who transmits one copy to the Secretary of the State for his district, and tho other to the Census Ofiiec in Washington.

A delegate of the committee said to him: "We Republicans dread but one name, and that is the mighty name of DOUGLAS. It has roused thousands of stalwart war riors in the olden time, and it will do it again if the Democratic party nominate him at Charleston (and we Republicans are not going to give our opponents credit for being such infernal fools as not to nominate him). We will try to kill the DOUGLAS on 'his own bills,' by having all the ecUit and exertion of a Republican Convention in the principle city of Illinois."

COISTGKRE SBIOINTAL.
WASHINGTON. Tuesday, Jan. 10.
HOUSE—Mr. Gartrell said that no blame could attach .to the Democrats for non-organization. The sccnes enacted here are but the beginning of the irrepressible conflict of which they hear so much a conflict between opposing forces a conflict between the North and South. If war is to be waged on fifteen States of this Union, if they are to be denied the solemn guarantees of the Constitution, if the property of the South is to be taken and surrender refused, if the principle? of the Republi can party are to be maintained, and their purposes accomplished in the South by Congressional or othor contrivances, or by unfriendly legislation to be deprived of full participation iu the common territories belonging to the people of the United States, he, for one, was free to confess that the House had better not organize.
If you Republicans, he said, are determined to continue your aggressions as you propose to do, on our rights if you will not stay your hands if you are determined that this couflict shall come, then I warn 3'ou and those whom you represent, to beware the dangerous ground on which you stand. The South must have their full measure of constitutional rights.
They will enforce the demand, to be treated as political equals, otherwise the Union will be divided into as many parts as there are stars on the National bruner. He proceeded to show, first, what rights the Southern people enjoy as to slavery second, that these rights, so clear, sacred and high, are not only threatened, but boldly, daringly and willingly assailed by the Republican party, lie would announce the solemn truth, disagreeable as it might be to his constituents and those of many others, that if aggression continues, the people of the South will be compelled by every principle of justice, honor and self-preservation, to disrupt every tie of the Union, peaceably if they can, forcibly if they must.
Mr. llaskin, during his speech, asked Mr. Gartrell whether, if the doctrine of Judge Douglas as to slavery be acted upon in the Territories, he would therefore, olnim the right to secede from this Union.
Mr. Gartrell wished to know whether Mr. ITaskin was the champion and expounder of Republican doctrine.
Mr. llaskin said lie was uot- On the contrary, he was an antagonist to the Republican doctrine of intervention in the Territories for the prevention of Slavery, as lie was to the new-faugled Southern doctrine of intervention for the'protcction of slavery.
Mr. Gartfell replied that^hat was a judicial question for the courts. Mr. llaskin wished to ku'ow if that is to be inserted as a now plank at'thc Charleston Convention.
Mr. Gartrell replied—Tf you want to know what we will do, you can make your arrangements to be present there, provided you can comc as a delegate but if you come as a Republican, we will simply rule you nut. [Laughter.]
Mr. llaskin thought Mr. GartrclTs judgment upon him was unfair. He had said that lie agreed with neither Republicans or Southern men as to the prevention or
care not to include a greater population protection of slavery i:i the Territories.— (by estimate) than twenty thousand in any [10 wanted to know if Mr. (.'artrell did not one sabdn isiou.
The assistants having been qualified (by oath) for the proper performance of their duties, are furnished, through the Marshals, with blanks and instructions.

*or Clark's resolution, declaring ^n^rvh0rec0mmended the circuSSfcuLSl wnpondmn, of Helper's book is fit to be Speaker, he thought its introduction unnecessary and offensive.
Mr. Leake wanted to know whether any man who endorsed a book counselling vio. lence and murder, was fit to be Speaker—Southern gentleman thought this the first step towards the dissolution of the Union
Mr Edwards condemned that resolution: It was an abstraction, and therefore was predicted on an abstraction. Mr. Sherman had exonerated himself from tho charge of having endorsed such sentiments. .,
Mr. Clark, of New York,'.asked Mr. Edwards whether he would under any circumstances vote fqr.a candidate for Speaker, who entertained in.liis hea^t tho sentiments of intolerance- and proscription which were indicated in the extract read from the Helper book...
Mr. Edwards replied that in a private conversation with the gentleman, he might say what he would or would not do, but as a member here, he would not respond to the interogatory.
Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, said if he believed that Mr. Sherman entertained such sentiments as the Helper book inculcates, he never would have voted for him. It was because he knew 3[r. Sherman regarded with the utmost horror, encouragement to servile insurrection and deprecated the disturbance of the present state of society, that he voted for him.
Mr. Sherman had confidcd in the discretion of the Committee, and the Committee relied more on Helper than ou their discrc-. tion. When Mr. Clarke's resolution shall be withdrawn, Mr. Sherman will bo ready to answer frankly, and oxpress his opinion of the book.
Mr. Edwards offered a resolution, that from to-day until the election of a Speaker, tho IIouso will proceed to vote for a Speaker at one o'clock, and vote three times in succession, and that if any member have possession of the flour, lie shall surrender the floor for that purpose. (Cries of "good," from tho Republican side, aud objections interposed from tho Democratic side.)
Mr. Leake, of Ya., during some explanations claimed that Virginia has the right to recede from the Union. This, he said, was defensive, and not aggressive. Ho was applauded by the southern men.
Adjourned. SENATE—There was a full attendance. Several memorials and petitions were presented.
Mr. Johnson presented a petition iu favor of the Homestead Rill. Mr. l'ugh's resolution coming up, Mr. Green made a speech, assailing the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty as advocated by Douglas and J'ugh, contending that tho Territory possessed no sovereignty, and recommending the cessation of agitation aud obcdieuce to the Drecl Scott dceission. Without concluding, he gave way to a motion for an Executive session, after which the Senate adjourned.
