Towers the Whig candidate for Mayor of Washington City has been elected by a majority of four or fire hundred. The Council Board is also Whig. It is a significant fact that such should be the result of the election when the President of the United States, and influential Senators, and members of the House, used their exertions to secure the election of the Democratic candidates, going so far, even, as to threaten the withholding of appropriations for the city.,

In Philadelphia the "Know Nothings" have swept all before them—a complete "Waterloo victory." Conrad, the Whig candidate carried twenty wards, and Vaux, Democratic, only four. Conrad's majority nearly 9,000. Coun oilmen—43 Whigs and Natives, to 11 Demo crats,

The President sent for him, but he refused to go, sending word that the President could see him by calling at his room.

I think this Territory is tolerably healthy away from the rivers bnt on the borders of stagnant water there is as much agoe as in the Western States. In one season here, at Portland, I have seen more agoe than ever I did in three years on the Wabash. But on the Pa cific coast it is very healthy indeed the people there being entirely free from bilious dis eases.

ET Messrs. McKinney fe Morehouse, agents for the sale of Fruit and Ornamen tal trees, from the Syracuse Nurseries, York, are now in our city receiving orders for trees to be delivered in November, the fall being the best time for transplanting trees, giving them a chance to become fixed in the ground and ready for an early spring growth. Our farmers and citizens now have a favorable opportunity of improving their orchards and door yards with the finest varieties of fruit trees and evergreens. We would advise farmers and others to call upon the agents and give thrm their orders, as we are assured that they can rely upon the quality of the trees being as represented by them.

They will remain here a short time and will call on the farmers in this vicinity. Further information can be had by calling at the Stewart House.

A THBI1UJTO INCIDENT. A number of years since a young man was a pnpijfet a school near West Chester, Penn., boarding at a farm-house aKout ooe mile distant from the academy. The hou«e was one of those boilt at different period* «f time, and presenting a lons-extended front to the road j»id«*. It was situated in the gorge of a lonely wood, and just below it ran a deep, dark ravine. which wa* the haunted ground of the neighborhood—for it is well known that every neighborhood has its haunted ground. The sleeping apartments of the family were in the extreme eud of the bouse, while that occupied by their boarder was the farthest removed rrom them possible. One night be remained late at a lecture delivered to the school, and by the time he arrived, the family had all retired, it being past the hour of twelve o'clock. He passed into the house, and immediately Vent up to his chamber. The reflected light of the moon shone into the room, and as he entered the doorway and turned towards his bed. there stood at the side of it a figure dressed in white, dimly apparent to him through the shadowy moonlignt. He was, as may well be supposed, terror-stricken. Turning for a momeut from the aparition towards the window, to se§ if it were not a fantastic creation, caused by the moonlight falling on some object in the apartment, his eye again looked for the strange light, but it was gone, wiihout the slightest perceptible noise. With his whole nervous system completely unstrung he, however, succeeded at length in convincing himself that he had been deceived, quietly undressed and laid down, but not to sleep, for there was too much agitation to do so.

He lay in this wakeful state for about three quarters of an hour, when he thought he felt the bed slowly raised beneath him. He again succeeded in pursuadin^' himself that he was deceived, ana attributed this to the intense fear and consequent nervous pxcitement of the first strange appearance. After another tedious period of time, the same rising of the bed was felt, and on this occasion he half rose, leaned over and looked partially under the bed, and listened with the most intense earnestness but not the slightest noise, even of respiration, on any of the different occasions, came to his ear. He again strove to dismiss the fearful subject from his mind, and at length, by excess of weariness, he soon fell into an uneasy and disturbed sleep, which must have lasted some two hours. He was a.oused from this uneasy repose by something between a piercing shriek and a frenzied laugh, unearthly in its tone, breaking upon his ear in the dead silence of the night,and immediately at his side. The unusual and horrible character of the cry, with all the preceding circumstances, renders it difficult, if not impossible, represent the intense and agonizing fear which crept over the completely unmanned inmate of that lonely chamber.

Ten years and more have elapsed since the circumstance occurred, and yet, at this distant day, our friend iilways relates the incident with an excited tone of voice, which indicates how dreadful were the realities that surrounded him. He sat up erect in the bed, with every fibre of his flesh quivering with terror, and with straining eye and ear sought to solve the fearful mystery. In the midst of this thrilling and excited state of feeling, there came a wilder repetition of the mingled scream and laugh, and, says our informant, "it was such a cry as can never be effaced from my memory." He instantly sprang from the bed to the floor, and in a delirium of fear, dragged the bedstead from the corncr of tho room, and there, behind the high headboard, stood ths apparition which presented itself to his astonished sight when he first entered the room on that dreadful night. It was the figure of a woman clothed in white, with long, black, luxuriant hair, hanging wildly about her person. It was a maniac girl, from a neighboring house who, came in the afternoon during his absence to spend the night, and had wandered from the room where the family supposed they had secured her. When he entered the room she was standing as he first described her position, and while his eye was turned for a moment towards the window, she silently crept beneath the bed.

We hope the recital of this story may not have the effect to disturb the repose of eur young or lady readers. If there are any fears on that subject, we advise them, before lock"ng their chamber doors at night, to look under ho bed, and into the band boxes and closets. After such an exarainatioJ, they may retire without the slightest alarm.

Extranrdinary ease of Scrof ulu. Hear the testimony of A. Cuburn. He says: "I was, from a chilli, afflicted with Scrofula,} had glandular swellings of the neck, incieas-' ing until I was fourteen. At the age of sixteen I was much worse, had eight abscesses on my neck, three ulcers on the shoulders, and three onthehips. I advised with Dr. Munson A Ives and other distinguished Physicians, but received no benefit 1 also consulted the best Physicians in the State, but got uo relief. In 15?17, when about 4!)years of age, a friend from Long Island, observing me with my head drawn on one side, and not able to labor, advi-ed me to use the Rock Rose, regularly after meals.— This I did for four weeks. The ulcers broke, discharged and healed, the glands on tho neck were no more swollen, my head resumed its natural position, and I went to work regularly did more labor in a few weeks than I had douo for many years before. Neglecting the use of the Rock Rose, I had renewed scrofulous symptoms, also bleeding at the lungs, for which Professor Ives prescribed the Itock Ro*e. I used it again with the same beneficial results, and am now, January, 1852, in good health for a man of my age, being 7.1. 1 have suffered everything from disease, paftl hundreds of dollars fur medicine, and found no relief until using the Rock Rose, whe* a complete euro was effected. Those facts my bo relied upon a* positive truth, rtnd Can be fully corroborated by hundreds of witnesses in New Haven, Connecticut, or ALKX. COBUIIN.38 Fairst."

This case is stated to show that Screfula can be permanently cured. See advertisement, of Myers' Rock Rose.

Jacksun, No. 120 Arch Street, Philadelphia In cases of Liver complaint, Dyspepsia, Disease of tho Kidneys, and all diseases arising from a disordered stomach, their power is not excelled, by any other kuowu preparation, as the cures attest, in many casus, al'ier the most celebrated physicians hud failed. We can con-cientions-iy recommend this medicine, as being what it is represented, and urge our readers who aro afflicted to procure a iiottle, and they will bo convinced oi the truth wo i*3art.
