Foreign News. Gone-The man with forty grammars. Weather-Variable as the Fashions. Missing-Porter's Spirit of the 15th inst. IN Rev. John J. Pearce is out in a card denying that he voted for A. White for Congress. Reports from Kansas intimate that Gov. Geary is getting into trouble with the Missourians. The run on the Farmers Bank of Lancaster county and Lancaster County Bank has in a measure ceased. IS There is said to be a township in Louisiana, colonized by free negroes, who all voted for Buchanan. The only white man in it voted for Fillmore. The Democrat puts up the name of Ephraim Banks, Esq., for Governor, on the principle we suppose of rotation-i. e. rotating from one office into another. Tickets were issued for a ball at the Lewistown on Tuesday evening, but bad weather and perhaps a want of "hoops" prevented it from coming off. Drugged and Robbed.-David Daughenbaugh, who had just sold his farm for $800, was drugged and robbed of the whole sum, in Pittsburg, Pa., last Thursday. Dandridge C. Williams of Eutaw, Alabama, killed seven grown turkeys and wounded the eighth one at one shot-all on the wing at that. Extensive Sale.-The Sheriff of Centre county advertises about 18,000 acres of land, in forty-two tracts, situate in Taylor township, to be sold at Bellefonte on the 1st December, as the property of James Wilson, deceased. Burglary and Robbery. -The store of Peter Baldy, Jr., in Danville, Pa,, was entered by a back window, on Saturday night last, and robbed of silks, broche shawls, &c., amounting in value to more than $500. Fire.-The Farmers' and Mechanics' store at Enow station, Ohio, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning. Loss, $10,000; insurance $5000. The Philadelphia City Council are talking of swapping away $450,000 Pa. Railroad stock for the same amount of North Pa. Railroad bonds-the former paying 8 per cent., the latter nothing. The fools are not all dead yet. For sale-Both the Tyrone papers. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the editors along the Juniata to buy the material of one establishment, and keep it for the especial accommodation of "traveling jours." As they average about one a week the year round, the paper might be edited, set up, worked off and distributed by each in turn, and thus afford an unequalled variety in the way of editorials, selections, &c.
