LA'JRSNCSBURGH. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1828. James W. Weaver, we are authorized to say, has declined a poll for Sheriff at the ensuing election. lfv 'Cross having advised us that he is a candidate for representative, (a material fact he omitted in his address,) his name appears in the list of candidates. .Coroner. By some mistake as to the term for which the acting Coroner was elected, it was thought that an election for that officer would take place at the coming August. We have examined the constitution on this subject, and find that agreeably to it provision the pre sent Coroner, Dr. Torbet, has yet one year to serve, and that there is no such officer to be elected at the next ensuing election in Dearborn county. It seems proper for us to remark, that the address of Mr. M'Cracken, published to-dav, has been on file in our office severa! weeks. Its publication was omit ted the first week of receipt, for want of room; and the second because of the declination of Mr. Plummer. Mr. M'Cracken has signified a wish that it might go to the public, as an cxplana tion of his course in the Manchester nomination: and as we have no desire to interfere in such matters, it is given with out further comment. Governor Ray. On the first page of this paper will be seen Gov. Raj's defence, and an explanation of his letter t -Mr. Handy. The interrogatories pu; by Mr. Jocelyn, as published, the (governor represents as misrepresentations of his language to that gentleman. O this subject he and Mr. Jocelyn are directly at issue. The after argues for the truth of his Statements at length, in his paper of (he 12 h insf., and has procured certificates in corroboration O the other side, the governor and hi? friends have asserted, and procured certificates to prove it, that Mr.- JocelvnV report of the governor's answers to hi?interrogatories is materially incorrect particularly uhere he represents Mr. Ray as saying the Jackson party is an "outrageous violent (action.'3 h is not for us to say who is right or who is wrong in this affair as it seems a matter of controversy between respectable men. The conduct of the governor having undergone some reprehension in our columns, we embrace the first opportunity of laying before our readers the defence of the accused; this done, we leave the matter with the people for adjudication. A crazy chap has lately been amusing himself with jumping from one of the precipices at Patterson Falls. Having pertormed the lent ai nrst privately, he ifterwards announced a public repetition of it. The authorities of the town kept him under restraint, to prevent it; but he watched, his opportunity, and jumped i

off in the presence of a number of,miles long; or supposing the boards a people. On Friday last he leaped fromjfoot wide, and placing them singly, they the position a few rods below the bridge, would extend 620 miles, which would

on the side towards the village, which is a height of 85 or 90 feet. He descended with his feet downwards, and somewhat drawn up, and on touching the water was seen quietly swimming otT, and returned for his shoes and coat. JVew York. On Saturda- afternoon last, New York was visited with one of the most violent thunder storms which it has for years experienced. The rain! fell in torrents for about an hour, during the whole of which time, there was aj constant succession of thunder clans! which appeared to come with the light ning and not behind it. The lightning struck a schooner in East river (name not known), the ship Ajx lying at Counties slip, and a brig lyit g at the same place. It is said (a singular fact if true) that it struck the pavement in Dey street and tore it up for some feet. It also struck a house in Lewis st. We have heard of no lives lost. Piracy and Murder. The schooner Charle?, of Philadelphia, has been cap tured near Kagua, Cuba, by a band of. pirates, and the captain and crew murdered. An active pursuit has commenced , and a hope is entertained that the cold blooded villains will meet the reward of their crimes. Nites

FOR THE PALLADIUM. To the Independent Electors of Dearborn County. Oa the first Monday of August nexi you will be called upon to select from among the list of candidates, four persons to represent the county of Dearborn in the next General Assembly of this State. Among the number of candidates now before the people, I discover the name of Mark M'Cracken, Esq. of Manchester township, who appears very zealous in support of himself. I have been waiting for some time to see in some public print a modest refusal on his part of standing a poll "to fill so

important a station,"' believing at the same time that what was considered a reasonable objection in 1825 must be considered in the same light in 1828, and in order to place the thing fairly before the public, the course he has pursued and is now pursuing, I will refer them to the "Indiana Spectator," of June 3d, 1825, where the follow ing paragraph appear.- and having understood that Mr. M'Cracken has stated in this township (.Manchester) that he had declined serving as a representative for several years, on account of Daniel Plummer being before the people, by reference to the same paper you will perceive that Mr. Plummer was not a candidate thai year. A VOTER. Messrs Editors On reading the Spectator of !Jay 21st 1 saw iuy name announced as a candidate, o represent the county of Dearborn, at the Dext General Asseoybly of this state Permit me through the saoje medium, to inform the public, that (las has been done without coy consent and that I cannot consistent with my feeling consent to be a candidate to fi'l so highly important a ataton; It is pain ful tome to 8hfciv the least unwillingness to! 9erve the people of this couoty in any situation where thi-y my require my services bat I thmk my fiiends will consider my objections good, after I uiforrn them that having been elected to and accepted of an honorable office 1 am unwilling (o abandon my constituents and gnsp at another; as I hold it a principle of duty, that when any man accepts of an office he ought fo serve in that office until its expiration. And as there is so maoy worthy characters before the public 1 hope to be excused, and tender to my friends through whose good will I have been nominated, my warmest thanks for their friendship MARK M'CKACKEN. May 27th, 1S25. West Point Conformably to a regulation for the government of the United States military academy, the names of ilio?e cadets who most distinguished themselves at the annual examinations, are to be reported to the war depariment, for publication in the ar my regis'er. Tne following are the nam?s of the sutcessful carets. First (or graduated) class. 1 Albert E. Cnurch, of Connectitu'; 2 Richaid C. Tilghman, of Maryland; 3 Hugh W. iVKtcc r, of Virginia; 4 Robert E.

Norton of New York: 4 Richard II. Pry ton, of Virginia; 5 George II, Talcott, of New York. The Warren, Pa. G iztfc, estimates, (that if the water be sufficiently hid), 50,000,000 feet of boards will descend the Allegheny this spring. I his quanti ty, he says, raited ten courses deep and 1 Z teet wide, would make a rait 18 reach to New-Orleans, thence to New York, Albany, Buffalo, and home to War ren, and leave an overplus sufficient to reach from New-York to Loudon. Allowing 5 men to 100,000 feet of boards, it will require 2500 men to run them to market. At 6 per 1000, they will bring 300,000. Shingles, square timber, saw logs, tan bark, Sec. worth .10,000, is supposed, may also be sent to market during the seasons by the river. making an aggregate for lumber of 400 ,000 a sum sufficient to make a Steam boat navigation from Pittsburgh i o r to W arren, or from Warren to Lake Erie. A Family. In the pine woods of Wil kinson County, a couple (both natives of) liurke County,) were, in 1S0G, marnried the gentleman, a bachelor, forty years of age. Since that time they have lived together in a state of uninterrupted happiness, which has been crowned by the birth of twenty-one children, ten sons and eleven daughters, all alive and healthy at the present time. Some paccs boast of their increase of hog?, others of their horses, and others again of their cattle; but we challenge the world to beat Wilkinson in what is infinitely more valuable the increase of fine healthy children. We would recommend a summer's residence in Wilkinson, to the1

married portion of our wealthy friends of the seaboard. Georgia Patriot. The wife of Jesse Egbert, of Cedartvill, N.J. was on the 29th ulf. delivered of three living children , at a birth.

The same woman was delivered of the same number about a year ago. Thus has she been the mother of SIX children in that short period. At Orange Farm, two miles from B.iltimore, may be seen a purnp worried by a small pointer dog. This pump is more than fifty feet in length, and the working of it was heretofore the fatiguing labor of two men. To the do? it is mere play. He at his Dleasure. either walks, trots,

Mr. Philip Smith, of Pitt county, with his wife, left home on a visit to Mr. S.'s mother, who a short distance from him, leavire children at home, the eldest resided in; his fr about 10 years of age; and horrid to relate, on his return he found the house consumed, together with four of the children. One (the eldest) escaped, but so dreadfully burnt, that her life was des- - paired of. It is not known in what way the fire originated. jYezvbem Sentinel. Cancer. Mr. Thomas Tyrrell, of Missouri, advertises that a cancer upon his nose, which had been treated without success by Dr. Smith, of N. Haven, and the ablest surgeons in the western country, had been cured iti the following manner. He was recommended uto use a strong potash, made of the ley of ashes of Red O ik bark, boiled down to the consistence of molasses, to cover the cancer with it, and in about an hour afterwards cover this with a plaster of tar, which must be removed after a few days, and if any protuberances remain in the wound, apply more potash to them, and the plaster again, until they all disappear; after which, heal the wound with any common salve." Cautery and the knife had previously been used in vain. This treatment effected a speedy and perfect cure. Jllonstrous Sopvit. killed a lew days A rattlesnake was t r . ago, ai Mammon, Harris count), measuring six and a hall feet long, and twenty two and a hnlf inches in circumference ; its mouth, when expanded, was six inches between the extremities; there were only seven Fatties to the tail, the balance having probably been lost in combat with some of his serpentine tribe. .When the snake was kiiled, it had a large rabbit in it mouth nearly swallowed, which caused it to become an eay prey to its murderer. Three fangs were exi racled, which measured nearly two inches long. Georgia Inquirer. Gov. Cass, and Col. Menard, of Illinois, have been appointed commissioners to treat with the S-tc, Fcx, Winnebago, Ottowa, Pottawatimie, and Cnippewa tribes of Indians, for the extinction of their title to the mining country upon Fever River, and also to a tract of land south ofthe St. Joseph of lake Michigan,! and to another, to connect the settlements of Indiana. The season is so far advanced that we learn it will be impracticable to hold the council this year tor the lead country it will be held next season. Some of the other objects' ...... . j I committed to the commissioners will be effected this year. Detroit Ga. Deleg are and Chesapeake canal. It is announced in very positive terms, that this canal will soon be ready for business. WTe rejoice at this information. Political Trees! Many of the supporters of general Jackson for the presidency, have devoted the hickory tree to him; and others of the friends ot the adminis tration have, in like manner, selected the oak, as typical of Mr. Adams; and we may expect that, at many places, of vot ing, these trees, torn from the forest, will be planted in the ground, as rallying points for the adverse parties. JVes. Making the most of Land.Cnpt James Perkins, of Esex, Mass. raised, last season, on an acre and a half of land, 72 bushels of Indian corn, 70 bushels of po tatoes, 70 bushels of winter apples, SO bushels of turnips 2 loads of squashes, and 2 bushels of beans. One third of the land alluded to, consisted of gravelly knolls. In 1826, the whole was planted with Indian corn. Jh England Farm. A slave vessel, called the BON JESUS!!! with a lull cargo of human beings, from Africa for Brazil, was lately captured by a Buenos Ayrean privates.
