TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES. The election on Monday next tor township officer* will be important. A« the law if a new one, and creating new offices, we think it ought to have been published by the county authorities for information of the citizens generally. Such we observe from our exchanges has been the course pursued in several counties in this State. We have already given an abstract of the law for the information of our readers, in order that they may be enabled to act advisedly on the occasion.

Three trustees are to be selected for each township, with very important duties assigned by the law. We presume the country portion of Harrison townahip will expect one if not two of these trustees outside of town limits. Indeed the duties of this office, having the roads, bridges &c., to superintend, will require the services of persons of practical experience. We have heard the Dame* of several mentioned, living within the townahip and outside of the town who would be well qualified for the duties of the office.

LIQUOR LAW.

Under the new Licence Law, a vote ia to be taken on the lat Monday in April,in each townahip, on the queation of granting licence. Thia proviaion of the law is aupposed by some to He unconstitutional and most likely the question will be brought finally before the Supreme Court. That Is. the question of granting licence by vote of the people, ia thought unconatltutional. But the law itaelf ia already in force and all old lawa repealed. The only queation ia, as to granting licence—whether even that provision, or action under it, by vote for licence, can be sustained.

Heretofore, it ia believed, that many have voted for licence for the purpoae of raising revenue, and in that way lesaening taxes. But this can be no longer the case, aa the new law expressly provides, that no corporation or board of commissioner shall exact or receive money for licence for the privilege of retailing spituous liquors.

The act of Congress to provide for the survey of the public lands in California gives a •alary of 84,500

to the aurveyor General of

California. It defines his duties and directs that the lands shall be divided into not less than 160 acres, nor subdivided into less than 40 acros. Registers and Receivers are to be appointed. Sections aixteen and thir-ty-alx in each township areaet apart for the benefit of public achools. The mineral lands are to bo excepted from sale and entry, but are to bo subject to the right of occupation and cultivation only until such time as Congress shall dispose of them.— Two entire townships or seventy-two sections, are granted to the Stato of California for the use of a seminary for learning—mineral landa excepted. Ten entire sections of land are also granted to the State of California for the purpose of erecting the public buildings of that State—mineral lands excepted.

Col. Hughes, ®f Maryland, the representative of the American Association for the management of the Chrystal Palace at New ?ork, who is now in London,has had a long interview with Prince Albert, who, in conjunction with Her Majesty, the Queen, it is said, takes great interest in the American World's Pair. Her Majesty and Prince Albert will send over variety of choice •nd valuable articles, including a bust of the Queen, to be exhibited. The emperor of tho French, the Pope and the Sul an are among tho contributors. England sends 543 objects, France 326,the Zollverein 500, Holland 140, and Itally 100 statues. Col. Hughea will shortly leave London for Paris, and proceed to the several European courts upon his important mission.

GRAVELLING.—We understand that a project is on foot to gravel the Lafayette road from town to Otter Creek Bridge. This is designed to be done by private subscription, the Commissioner of the County, offering, as we are informed, to subscribe dollar for dollar, equal to all other amounts, actually paid in for the work.

foT

the work

We hope for the credit of our County, that this measure may be carried out. The Lafayette road as far as Otter Creek has long been an absolute nuisance, and disgrace to the County. For a prairie road it may be put down as the worst in the world. ~~~~~~~

The Washington correspondent of the N. York National Democrat give* currency to a somewhat wonderful revelation, according to which a number of wealthy California*)* have entered into a negotiation to buy oat the Sandwich Inlands from their present sovereign, with the view of having them annexed te the United States as a county of California. The negotiation.it is asserted, had been brought to a successful termination, but the weak-minded king was afterwards induced to withdraw his assent The California!* have not given the project up* bat are endearoring to bring the king back to his bargain.

MESSRS. CLAYTON AND DOUGLAS. The Washington Union says that Mr. Douglus gained a triumph over Mr. Clayton. This is simply ridiculous Douglas did not pretend to meet Mr. Clayton in intellectual combat—that is to say, he did not pretend to encounter the points raised by Mr. Clayton in his masterly speech." Douglas had his own purpose to subserve in making the speeches he did upon central America.

He knew that he was eagerly listened to by thousands of office seekers from all sections of the Union, and he embraced that fine opportunity of informing them ol the doctrines for *hich he and the disciples of Young America contend.

Whenever an intellectual romhat takes place between Senators Clayton and Douglas, the victory will not he long delayed Whether the Little Giant will then appear most like a sparrow in the talons of the hawk, a chub in the mouth of a salmon, or a j-ickall under the paw of a lion, remains to be seen. Afar such a combat, the Little Giant would not pass for a man at en in Lilliptu.—Louisville Journal.

SIGNS AND TOKENS.—A lady who has paid some attention to small matters, says she always watches with much interest the ingress snd egress of husbsnds and wives to and from the dining and drawing rooms of fashionable hotels. -If, Mid she, "the wives enter and depart a little in advance of their husbands, be sure they wear tho— •Oh. no, we never mention 'ems.' If, on the contrary, the husbands take the lead, you may rest assured they take the lead in every thing else." This idea, to us. is perfectly original, and we shall be somewhat particular hereafter, in satisfying ourselves of the truth of such "significant siins.** And we shall tako care to lead off, «oo!—Boston Bee.

Crime, and what is the Caase of it. Every paper that comes to us contains its list of murders, assaults, and attempts upon life. The record is really alarming* especially as good proportion of these offences appear to have been committed by comparatively young men. In one instance, ih.-itofthe homicide at Rochester, the culprit is a mere child, and so was his viciim. What shall be done to put an end to this?— Are we really becoming so abandoned that these outrages are to be passed by without comment? lias all fear of law departed from the land that crime is so rife among us? We wish we could assign a philosophical cause for the generalprevalence of rowdyism, and find out where the* remedy ought to be applied. Is it not the case that there is a growing disrespect for law, aided perhaps by a lax administration of it on the part of the authorities but no matter for what cause, is not the fact apparent?— Does it arise from our system of electing magistrates and administrative officers, or from a want of efficiency on the part of the- elected? Have we reason to fear that punishment is not as certain to follow conviction now as formerly, and that conviction is not so certain after arrests? What is it? Is there less general morality in the nation? ii home, the great school of vinue, no longer a place where all the virtues are taught?

Is it because all the solemnity of law has departed under our new system of things.and its once dreaded terrors have faded away before the familiarity of popular elections? What is it owing to, and what is the remedy? These are grave questions, and if there be any sufficient answer we should be glad to record it.—Buffulo Commercial Advertiser.

Increase of Specie in the United States* In illustration of the sound financial condition of the United States, we present our readers the following table of the relations of paper and coin during the several periods of 1816, 1830, 1836, and 1#53. For this statement we are indebted to the "Railroad Record," and we doubt not it is based on accurate ca!culations:---Balt. Amer,» Years1816, 1830, 1836, 1853,

•This table," continues the Record, "shows the very remarkable result that the proportion of coin to paper in actual circulation has increased tenfold since 1816 and fourfold since 1836. and we may odd has more than doubled in the last three years! A dollar in coin was accompnnied by four dollars in paper in 1836, and now each dollur of paper is accompanied by one in coin. "It is obvious, then, that there is no inflation of pnper currency, and if un natural inflation comes, it must be the result of speculation in trade, nnd not of an expanded currency, unless we suppose that gold coin may be itself too much expanded. There may be insolvent bankers and corporations. Thtfre are some such, in all periods, but they will not be the result if an expanded currency.

LADIES RIDING SIDEWAYS.---The honor of the introduction of ladies riding sideways bv women in England, is attributed to Anna of Bohemia, consort of Richard II. She it was, according to Slow, that originally showed the women of this country how gracefully and conveniently they might ride on horseback sideways. Another historian enume rating the new fashions of Richard the Second's reign, observes. '-Likewise noble ladies then used high heads, and corsets, and robes with long trains, and seats on side saddles on iheir horses,'by the example of the respectable Queen Anna, daughier of the King of Ravaria. who first introduced ihe custom inio the kingdom for before, women of every rank rode as men." In the beautiful illustrative picture «f Chnuccr's Canterbury Pilgrims, Siothnrd appears to have committed on anachronism in placing the most conspicuous female character of his fine composition sideways on her steed. That the lady should have been depicted ridirg in the female fashion, might, it strikes us, have been inferred without any historical research on the subject, from the poet's describing her as having on her feet "a pair of spurressharpe."

TnE UHSDLIXE CONVENT.—For several years past the proprieiors nf the Ursuline Covent in Summerville. Massachucetts, which was burned and sacked by a mob in 1834. have urgently petitioned the State Legislature to indemnify them for the property thus destroyed.but without success. At the present session of tho Massachusetts Legislature, a special committee on the petition have reported in favor of the application. The report is accompanied by a bill, providing for the appointment of a Board of commis sioners to hear all claims, and award to each claimant the actual loss incurred. The bill also authorizes the Govenor to draw his warrant for the amount thus awarded.

The Panama Star says that the largest pearl in the world is in the possession of Victor Plise, Esq., of Panama. The pearl is much the shape of an egg. without a single flaw in its entire formation in color it is what judges consider perfection, and weighs one hundred and fifty-six grains. It is valued at five thousand dollars, and if a match could be procured for it the pair would be almost invaluable. Mr. Plise has a Urge assortment of beautiful pearls, all of which he has collected at his fisheries on the Pearl Islands.

The yearly sale of oysters In New York city, is estimated at five millinns of dollars the number of persons employed in the business, directly or indirectly. Is said to be about fifty thousand. Of the whole amount of oysters sold in that market, about two thirds come from Virginia, which has a more extensive oyster trade than any other State in the Union.

Small Gold as a Currency. What becomes of all the gold brought in from California and not sent abroad, is a very frequent inquiry. That it passes into the interior, without sticking long by the Banks in this city we have frequent official reports to show. That the Custom House returns are substantially the true measure of the proportion of the gross receipts which are sent abroad, we have no reason to question. Considerable sums go, of late, .to Canada in return for proceeds of English bills negotiated thro' New York for Railroad and other purposes. But these are supposed to be fully counterbalanced by the amount of foreign coin brought in by emigrants and not reported to the Custom House.

Last year, the gold statistics showed the retention in the country of $32 370,000, out of $60,690,000 received from California, and in foreign coin, through the Mint and Custom House. To the first of March, the retention, during the current year, two months, was $6,800,000 making together nearly forty millions of dollars in fourteen months, of which not over one-tenth was retained here, either in Bank or Sub-Treasu ry. About four millions additional has been retained at New Orleans, and the gross accumulations by the Government at other points than New York, are something larger than at the same period last year. Nearly thirty millions, therefore, remain to be accounted for and it may be well to look to the influence which restraining legislation upon the small note currency would have in bringing a liberal portion of this important accumulation to bear as a common currency. The suggestion is one that occurs from the following remarks made to us in a letter from an experienced Banker in the interior of the State: "We have a large number of individual accounts— probably greater in number than any other Bank in the city.

I have been surprised to see the amount of gold deposited from day to day, taken in the ordinary course, each depositor having one or more pieces. I think the average amount per day with us is $400. I was at a private market yesterday or rather a local Ward meat market, kept by a butcher of moderate means. I handed him a bill, and he thrust his hand into his pocket, and took out a handfull of change. I spied several gold pieces, and asked him the amount mixed in with silver coin of all sizcs---he stated almost sixty dollars— received that morning. I only mention these things to show that we cannot readily base an estimate of the coin in the hands of the people; it must be far beyond what is supposed. There is a better specie basis, although the circulation of paper is very great, and increased, than ever before. I have no doubt of it. In 1839, I was Teller of a Bank of a capital of half a million of dollars, in a neighboring city, and it was a rare thing to take a piece of gold coin. When I did receive it, it was carefully put in a tin covered box, and laid away, that the dust might not wear it."—N. Y. Times.

Sale nnd Location of Public Lands in ISO?. We tnke the following facts in relation to tho public lands, from the report of the Commissioner of the Land office, made at the last session of Congress. It seems that of 7,000,000 acres of pub lie land located only one filth part were sold. The residue was about equally divided between land warrants and railroad companies.

Within 1852, 9 522 953 acres were surveyed, and 8,032,463 acres advertised for sale. ,, in the last fiscal year there were sold 1,553,071 acres. Located with bounty-land warrants 3,201,314 Located wiih other certificates... 115.682

RAILROAD TRAVELING.—At a late meeting in London of the proprieiors of the London and South Center Railway, it was stated that a simple contrivance had been introduced on the trains on that railway for greater security against accidents, by which communication was preserved between the guard and the engine driver, by which the guard from his own box might at pleasure sound the driver's whistle. It was said that, during the last ten ten years, carrying as they did 2,000,000 passengers and running 2,000,000 miles annually, not a single fatal accident had occurred to a passenger. ~~~~~~~

Disastrous Railroad Accident—Loss of Life. BALTIMORE, March 28.

An immense mass meeting was held in the market place last night to nominate independent candidates for city offices to sustain the common schools, and to oppose the encroachments of the Roman Catholics. In regard to them all political party lines are laid aside, and candidates are selected with the single view to the school question Germans, bcth Catholics and Protestants, and Jews participated and pledged themselves in favor of the people's college. Great indignation is expressed at the attempts of foreign Ecclesiastics to interfere with the common schools.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24.

WITCHCRAFT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Chambersburg Whig of the 17th ult. says a rorrespondent, writing from Fulton county, informs us of a singular ense of supposed witchcraft that occurred near Sideling Hill. There is a certain religious sect in that neighborhood colling themselves the Christian Church. A lady, one of the members, was tnken sick and lay for some time, until she finally imagined herself bewitched, and a sister in the Church was settled upon as the witch.' A meeting of the session was called in due season, nt which the minister presided, and the charge of witchcraft formally preferred against the lady. Being a new case,and we presume, not provided for in the discrpline, the session was puzzled as to the proper manner to proceed in the case. At length it was proposed that she should be asked to step over a broomstick, as it had been said that a witch could not do so but the accused got over without apparent difficulty.-— After a consultation it was then agreed that she should then be tried in a pair of weigh scaies with a bible to balance her. and if she was a witch, the bible would be too heavy for her. According ly she was taken to a mill, and the experiment tried, but she proved too heavy for the bible. It was then inti mated that probably her clothing provented a fair test, and a half a bushel of corn was put on the scales with the bible, to balance the clothing but still the lady was too heavy, and the charge was formally dismissed.

INCKEASB OF INSANITY.—The soperin. tendent nf the lunatic asylum at UticaNew York, says that insanity is fearfully on the increase in this State. Wo learn ihat from Monday, the 2!st ult until Friday, the 25 ult., (five days, seventeen new patients were admitted into this institution—the greatest number ever before admitted in so brief a time. There is no doubt but that this increase is owing, in a great measure,to the unhealthy state of excitement caused by the "spiritual" humbugs of the day. This mental disturbance reaches people of all classes, for in all classes there are to be found those unfortunate beings in whom the nervous predominates over and tyrannically rules the temperaments, and renders them susceptible to the peculiar and fascinating influence of such marvellous demonstrations as, it is alleged, are produced by "spiritual mediums," and people more highly charged with electro-magnetism than common sense,—Albany Regitler.

THINGS IN NEW YOSX.—The Chiefof Police reports that there are in the eity 5,624 licensed places where liquor is *oid 354 wherelt Is sold without license aod 5,166 places open on Sunday, contrary to the ordinances of the city. The whole number of pieces, licensed and unlicensed, where ihe poison is sold aod drunk, Is 6,575. The fourth ward bears the ptlm ia grog-sbbpe.

Punch very slanderously makes use of the following: "The sun is called masculine, from his supporting and sustaining the moon, and finding her the withal to shine away as she does of a night, and from his being obliged to keep such a family of stars besides.—* The moon istfeminine because she is constantly changing, just a* a ship is blown about by every wind.
