    THE WORLD S FAfn.
Tho great exhibition of the World' fair
in London, which was opened on the 1st
lnst. attracts universal attention. In rela
tion to the American portion of the exhi
bition, we copy the following from the
London Correspondence of the New York
Commercial Advertiser!
"It has been feared by Americans hero
that the articles contributed by our citizens
would not do us justice m a nation. One
cannot yet toll whnt llio comparative merit
cf our countiy will be, side by Fide, in the
strife of the peaceful arts with the old na
tions of the earth. But I feel sure that we
shnll not fall far behind. In many speci
mens of what will come under tho head of
'raw material,' 1 have seen abundant evi
dence to day that our show will be rich.
Ores, timber, as samples of ftur woods ;
grains in the kernel, and erronnd into the
whitest and finest flour : Indian corn upon
the ear, nnd in its various forms of samp,
hommony, nnd meal : coal, iron, copper,
nnd cotton, such as tho great markets never
received ; rice in tho ear, the kernel, nnd
flour ; tobacco, from tho impressed leaf
to the most aromatic cigar, and many other
things which occupy this classification, have
been opened nnd examined to day greatly
to our satisfaction. In machinery we shall
not make a large display. Still, even here
we havo much that is beautiful, and some
that is not only new and ingenious, but upon
which I should be willing to risk our reputa
tion at tho exhibition.
"Our agricultural implements excite great
attention In ploughs, harrows, drills, rea
pers, threshers, and the like, we are in ad
vance of whatever 1 havo seen here yet
from the continent or from England. We
have on exhibition, also, many very beauti
ful and useful horticultural implements
which are new hero. The Lawreyce Mills
have sent sheetings which will hardly be
outdone by Manchester ; and tweeds, coach
lace, gingliams, prints, and cassinicrs have
been planed upon our counters
"In nothing, however, do we excite so
great surprise as in our Indian-rubber goods
This is a thing almost unknown in England,
the conveitibilily of Indian rubber into al
most every conceivable thing on earth !
'Good heavens ! what is this 1 and this?
and this ?' were exclamattons 1 constantly
heard, ns case after case of tho almost infi
nite variety was opened. In daguerreotypes
throughout the whole art, wo are far ahead.
It has been wi.-e to send thus the likeness of
our good and great men. My friend Gov.
Briggs has had a crowd all day around his
perfect and admirable likeness. Twelve
hundred daguerreotypes, handsomely fram
ed and hung judiciously, will not bo the
least nttiaclive part of our exhibition, and I
am tolJ that there are arriving that number
of individual poitraits."
A letter dated London, March 5"?, to the
Boston Post, represent that there is n rich
confusion on the premises among the Amer
ican contributions, and adds :
"1 have been present daily at the Indus
trial Palace since the 22d, and such a des
truction as is here shown is frightful. The
water, in the first place, is leaking down
upon all kinds of goods, poli.-hed machinery,
prints, and cases (supposed to contain valua
ble goods) not yet opened. A case, five feet
long, throe fret wide, containing n beautiful
jnodcl of the Exchange in New Voik, plate
glass fiont ami minor back, was completely
demolished. The ar'.Ut is a young man,
now residing in New Voik ; his mother and
sister had obtained permission to seo it
opened, and when they beheld it a mass of
ruins they wept bitterly. A case, marked
Greenough, of Pa., containing an electrical
machine, was entirely destroyed, and had it
not been ruined before entering the building
it would have been by tho bungling manner
in which it was opened in my pieseuce. A
majority cf the committee of American
contributors being present, protested against
any more packages being opened until some
authorized agents were on the spot. Mr.
Slansbury, who ought to have been attend
ing to the duty ho had usurped, was about
being presented ut court, Mr. Kiddle not
having anived at that line.
The Nkw York and Er.n: Riii.noAt).
The first train passed over this important
public work on Tuesday last, from Pierinont
to Dunkirk, its entire length, of 4G5 miles.
A freight train will commence running on
the 28th inst., but as the steamers on the
Lakes will not be ready to commence their
trips until the middlo of May, tho Express
trains will not commence running until that
lime. The New York an I Erie Railway
Company was chartered in 1S32. It was
then estimated that the road could be built,
graded for a double and laid with a single
track, from the River to the Lake, for less
than five millions of dollars ; and no one
anticipated that a period of more than six or
eight year would be coitMime.l in its con-
truction. Nearly nineteen years have pa.
ted since the Company was organized, and
the road is just completed, at a cost of about
twenty millions of dollars. Fifty three
miles of the road had to bo rebuilt, and
counting the time when the great enterprise
was really undertaken with spirit, little
mora than four years have been consumed
in its construction. Lntr.
Coid-bi.ooped Act. In Columbus, Ohio,
on the 20lh, a person gut possession of one
of the late Governor Bubb's blank requisi
tions for fugitives, and filled it up for a piece
of sport, and directed it to Thumai Fpeucer,
a well known cattle dealer. This enraged
Spencer, and soma one, to carry on tho joke
lold him that it was done by Georgo Parcels
tho barkeeper of the Fiatikliu. lie imme
diately went to where Parcels was, and de
manded of him if he had "filled up that
paper." Mr. Parcels, in a jocular way,
answered "yes," and was about passing out
of a door, wbau Spencer druw a revolver
and khot him dead.

R AILROAD 0 VTM1 ION i'osTroM:n.
The Railroad Convention which was to
have been held st Ceorgc-town, in this
County, to day (3d of May,) has be?n post
poned until Tuesday the 2d of June next.
The reason for this postponement, is the
passage of the Susquehanna Rail Road bill,
by the last legislature, which will pass
over the same ground of the contemplated
Mahonoy and Wisconisco road. The in
terests cf both roads will therefore be con
centrated inta the one road loading from
this place to Ilarrisburg. As the connec
tion of the York atid Cumberland Road,
with the Pennsylvania Rail Road, depends
on the cottructiou of the Harrishurg and
Sunhury K-il Road, the prospects of the
extension of the road to llrie is rendered
highly favorable, and a deep and extensive
interest will therefore be manifested in the
proceedings.

The new Methodist'fchurch at Danville,

AGEIC iLTUHAL CONVENTION.
Impressed with the advantages that must
grow out of a constantly improving system
of Agriculture, and believing that such ad
vancement will result from association and
combined efTort, wo take the liberty of call
ing upon our fellow citizens to meet ns at the
Court liouso in Sunbury, on SATURDAY,
24th day or MAY, at 2 o'clock, P. M., for
the purpose of organiaing an Agricultural
Society for the County of Northumberland.
A Stat-) Society has been formod under Iho
influence and by the energies of nblo and
diotitmui.-hed men. County Societies are
springing up around us, and it is not proper
that ' Old Northumberland," the mother of
counties, should be hindmost in this impor
tant and interesting enterprise. To co-operate
with these, and to emulate them will bo
a portion of our purpose.
It is time Pennsylvania should assume tho
position she i3 entitled lo occupy, by virtue
of her resources, her population, and her in-
dnstry. New York and New England, less
iavorcd by nature in soil and climate, have
taken tho lead, and in improved stock, im
plements, and systems of Agriculture, are far
ahead. Wo can overtake them, and it is
our duty to do so. The Rip Van VYinklcism
of Pennsylvania farming should come to an
end. From Chester to Erie, and from Wayne
to Creen, let the Rig Rail of Improvement
roll ! and be our voices mingled with the
rest, to cheer its progress !
A s this Society is contemplated to embrace
Rural nnd Domestic Economy in all its
br.iuchc.4, and as all men live by tho fruits
of .he ciiith, this invitation is limited to no
class or calling, but is addressed to all.
Aral though tho tiller of tho soil is the most
concerned and will be thti most benolilttd,
yet every man who feels au interest in the
advancement of iho largest of human pur
suits, is caruov.ly and kindly solicited lo be
present.

OBSCQUKS OF OliJI. BRADY.
Gen. Brady, whose death we announced
last Week, was a native of this County, and
Ion g a resident of this place, where his
only iister still resides. The following ab
stract of the proceedings at his funeral will
no doubt prove interesting to many of our
readers. Tho Detroit Advertiser, from
which we copy, estimates the number of
person in the procession at fifteen thou
sand, and its length one mile.
This day, says the Advertiser of the 22d
ult., Detroit sets npart lo honor tho memory
of an old mid faithful public servant.
Her places of business intercourse are
closed and the busy feet of her citizens are
turned with chastened steps towards tho
house of God. A name of honor, which hns
been long inscribed upon her door posts, is
now, it is believed, chronicled on high. An
example of unostentatious virtue, of ntten"
live industry, of strict integrity, and of
strong self-control, has been taken from be
fore the eyes of her young mon and the
city mourns.
The peculiar characteristics of the de
ceased are those which should bo most pri
zed, as being most necessary to the strength
and honor of a self-governed people. These
characteristics were a punctilious and prompt
discharge of every duly imposed upon him,
and this is not meant simply his o'hcial du
ties, but his social and moral duties, grow
ing out of his relations us a father to .his
family, as a kinsman to his relatives, as a
citizen to the community having claims
upon him aj a Patriot to his country. lie
rendered affection and love to his children,
and grandchildren, kindness, generosity and
protection lo his kinsmen, cordiality and af
fibility lo his friends, public spirit and liber
ality to tho community, his best blood, his
sword mm1 Au Lojy to his country.
In his habits and tastes he was severe and
simple. lie made the splendor of his name,
the laurels of his youth, no subterfuge under
which to practice excesses, which often
times sully bright virtues and biave deeds,
but kept ever and constantly a stern control
over all inordinate passions and appetites.
Consequently he was kulcal, tejii'eratj:,
.MORAL.
He was fond of home, delighted with sim
ple and innocent recieations, and although
bred in the noise of camps, and used to
looking upon tho lax morality which ever
pervades them, he preferred thc prattlo of
his grand-children and the society of his
bosom friends to the more usual scenes of a
soldier's recreation. lie w as a constant r.t
tendant upon divine service upon the Sab
bath, a devout listener there, and held in
reverence the name of God nnd the Re
deemer, through wlmm ho trusted salvation,
to man and his neighbors he was just, pay
ing promptly that which due, and exacting
nothing beyond justice.
His habits of life were those of activity,
buth mentally and physically. He allowed
old ago to make uo exeusa fur the scrupu
lous neatness of his person, the cheerful
civility to those whom ho met. He mingled
daily at proper hours with ho world ; ho
kept his communication with current events
bright and ncctirate, and his interest in them
active and searching.
Such a wan was Gen. Hugh Prady, and
as such, an example of moral woith and
practical value ; his character is woithy to

U. S. Senator of MAsscnisrTTs.---The
Legislature of Massachusetts have elected
Oniric Summer, tho Free Soil candidate.
Tho Tiauseripl, Ihn'Jth opposed to Mr.
Suumei's slavery views, says : "lie is a
lorcible and elo.pient speaker, an apt scho
lar, a man of superior abilities, of polished
address, and extensive acquaintance with
the men and events of his times, und he
may become a statesman of mark in tho pa
lilical arena. Ha will probably act and
woik wilh the Whig par y on ail questions
but one a vital nnd momentous one, it is i
true, as he will find when he gets lo Wash
ington. Mr. Sumner will find, on ioachinS
Washington, that Massachusetts and even
New Ei gland, is but a fraction of the Uni
ted States ; that there are interests besides
hers to be looked after ; that under his calh
of office he is bound lo legislate for the
whole country, not a seel inn ! T,nri . .,..,
the conslilulioti.-.l rights of others must be !
respected ; and all this his Pood sense will j
saoii teach him, if he needs to he taught. I
