As the above facts have shown that in temperance and debauchery constitute 52 per cent of the pauperism, it is clear that for these two vices the people have paid, in the year 1843, $270,000 .— Alb ary Argus.

When about a mile from Taft’s Hotel, as Mr. Gay was driving^slowly up a hill, two men sprang from the bushes. One of them seized the horse, and the other presenting a cocked pistol at Mr. Gay, demanded his money or his life. Mr. Gay resisted, when ihe person fired, the ball taking effect in the wagon seat. The other man then stepped up to the side of the wagon, and with a large <Ai d>, knocked Mr. Gay out of the wagon and stunned him. They then robbed him of his pocket hook, containing $60 and some papers, and left him. The robbers escaped into the woods. Sir. G. was picked up by another Mr. Gay, who was btU a few rods behind him, and ■carried hom® very badly but not seiiously injured.

Since the above was in type, we learn that Mrs. Huntington has recovered her sen ses, and is now on the gain. inent, and at the earnest solicitation of his friends, consented, in 1823. lo become a candi date to Congress. He was elected twice from the district of Berks, Schuylkill, and Lehigh ; and afterward three times from Berks, when that county was erected into a separate Con gressional District. He remained in Congress ten years, acting always with the party which elected him, and that not as a mere follower, but oftener among the leaders in the prominent measures of the Democratic party. To go into the history of votes and movements upon questions, many of w hich are still open, would be to enter upon themes not fitted for our columns. Suffice it to say, that he comman ded the respect of all parties, and his personal friendship was highly prized by men of all po litical creeds. In 1837, upon the inauguration of Mr* Van Buren, as President, Mr. Muhlenberg was ten dered the Embassy to Russia, and the Secre taryship of the Navy1, both of which offices be declined. In 1838, he was appointed Minister to Austria—and in the Spring of that year, sailed upon his mission. lie was the first Minister from this country to Vienna; and at that Court, his high character and talents, his urbane manners and address, and his thorough acquaintance with the German language and literature, made a most favorable impression of our young Republic upon the Austrian Govern ment and nation. On his return to his residence, in 1840, he was received with a burst of enthusiasm mark ing ardent personal friendship as much as po litical preference, -There he resided until his death, in the. enjoyment of a handsome fortune, the principal pleasure of which, to him, was in the ability it afforded for active and efficient benevolence and charity. His education was classical and thorough—and in German Litera ture, particularly, he has not left behind him his superior in this country. He wrote and spoke that, language, with great purity and ease; and his library, one of the finest in the country, is especially well stocked in the de partment of German Literature. His mind was well balanced, without being remarkable for brilliancy ; and his purposes, the result of conviction and prudence, \ver« pursued with an unyielding and invariable per severance. Whatever any party may have said or thought of the abstract character of his poli tical opinions, his personal integrity and hones ty were universally admitted. To the ardent fiiendship of many, the respect and general well wishes of all were united ; and Mr. M. has gone down to the grave universally honored and lamented. He has left two sons and a daughter, and a large circle of relatives to mourn his loss; and hi& immediate neighbors and acquaintances, some of whom have been his companions for over forty years, while others have grown to manhood in bis esteem, honoring him as chil dren, respecting him as youths, and loving him as men—will feel as if indeed they had lost a Trreno, ana aorotner. IJis funeral took place in Reading, on Wed nesday, in the burial ground of the German Lutheran Clutch. The attack of apoplexy of which he died, was the third of the same disease; and the death of his father look place from the same cause. We learn with regret that Col. W illiam L.

Subsequent accounts, however, soon confirm ed the rumor. The circumstances of his death were substantially as follows—the first rumor only anticipating the hour of his decease.
