St. Louis, June, 9.
Tho Whig Convention met last Saturday
and nominated a full and complete- ticket
for the August election. Luther M. Kennett,
formerly Mayor of this city, is the Whig
candidate for Congress in tfm district. He
is a very popular man and will give Old Bul
lion a close brush in the race; be is without
a doubt tho strongest man the Whigs could
have selected, yet the impression seems to
prevail that Col. Benton will triumph over
ull opposition. Should the Administration
Tarty truly and manfully support their ticket
Uenton cannot fail to be elected, and the
only way that ho can be defeated, is for
Ihcm to vote directly for Kennott, which 1
think would be as bitter a pill for good Dem
ocrats to swallow, as for the Amies lo vote
for Benton himself. I might be wrong in
tny surmises, but my predictions heretofore
have been pretty generally varified, I still
hold that Col. Benton will be the next repre
sentative to Congress from the St. Louis dis'
triut, the opinions of others to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Gen. Pierce and his Cabinet are receiving
particular thunder from the Benton press of
this State, for the appointments that havs
teen made. Theie art very few 'Benton
men' holding office under the present admin
ulraiions, and this few is 'smi.ll and growing
beautifully less by degrees,1 from the fact
that they are being removed, aud their
places supplied by the Amies.

Gonr.i'e Lady's Book for July, is as attractive

E7" The Citors, and particularly the
grass, are unusually luxuriant. Under the
nfluence of the late and frequent rains
they have sprung forward with a rapidity
astonishing to our oldest aod best farmers.
Abundant pasturage mak-e! butler more

DC7The growing wheat crops throughout
the Union, are represented to be unusually
promising. Everywhere, in the north and
west, there is an increased breadth of land
under wheat say twenty per cent. - And
the prospect is, that the yield in Ohio and
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,' and other
western states will bo twenty to twenty
five ppr cent, greater than that of last year,
in spite of the fly, the rust, and the hard
winter. , ,
OCT" Drowned. A young woman na
med Sarah Johnson, aged about twenty
years, was drowned in Lloyd's mill dam
in Point township, in thit county, about
one and a baif miles above Northumberland,
on Friday evening the 16th inst. It ap
pears that she had been in the habit of
bathing in the dam, but upon this occasion
it is supposed, had accidentally stepped
into a hole. She was found in about ten
ieet of water. IJer garments were seen
on the beach near where the body was
found, by one of the hands employed at
tbe mill, who called her by name, and be
coming, alarmed at receiving no answer,
mentioned his (ears at the house. Imme
diate search was made and the corpse soon
recovered, but all efforts to restore life were
unavailing.
WARM WEATHER.
For the last lew days the heat has been
gradually increasing. While the thermom
eter stands at from 89 to 93 in the shades
tbe thoughts of many of the pent up inhab
itants of cities will be turned to the cool
delights of tbe watering places. Sunbury
present! attractions surpassed by very few
localities, indeed equalled by few, for a
summer residence. The surrounding coun
try is indescribably beautiful ; on all sides
the landscape it enchanting. Located on
Ihe beautiful Susquehanna, at a point where
the river viewi are finest, the fresh breeze
river imparts delightful coolness to (he
heated atmosphere and makes repose or

it time a movement was making in the
matter. jLvt a meeting be called at once,
and arrangement!, made properly to com
mmotate the grefct holiday of a free pr'

which will do credit to the borough, and

What say you young men ? Patriots, who
boast with pride of jour father! deeds, and
profess to love your country, will you try!
it is only necessary to try to succeed.
Can you and will you nrglect to honor,
by a public demonstration, those who have
honored us, and the day which made ut a

FIREMEN'S TARADE.
The Fire Companies of this place made
an exceedingly fine appearance upon the
occasion of their annual parade, on Saturday
last. Both companies have recently re-
uniformed. The Good Intent, in red shirts
trimmed with white braid, black panta
loons, and tbe glazed hat, such at is worn
by the New York companies, with the
name of the company in gilt letters in
front, black patent leather belts, &c. The
Washington company have adopted a blue
shir!, otherwise the uniforms are similar.
It would be difficult to say which of the
two companies presented the best appear
ance; both were exceedingly neat; were
out in large numbers, conducted with the
utmost decorum, and won the approbation
of all spectators. Both Engines were taste
fully, and indeed elegantly, decorated. For
Ihe numerous and beautiful wreaths of
natural flowers, with which they were fes
tooned, they were indebted to the taste,
skill and cordial feeling ol their fair young
townswomen. After passing through
the principal streets of the borough, pre
ceeded by good music, banners, &c, they
took the steamboat for Northumberland,
jpariook of the honpitulilia extended to
them there and returned about six o'clock
in the evening, delighted with. the. events
of the dav. Before housing their Eneines
a trial of power and capacity between the
two "machines" took place. A steady
stream of water was thrown about fifteen
feet above the cupalo on the court house.
An interesting interchange of courtesies
between the two rival, but still friendly
companies, look place before starting, each
presenting to the other magnificent wreaths,
whith were conspicuously placed unon
their respective engines.
C7 Pacific Kail Road Bill. Ou
Thursday the House ol Representatives laid
aside the Pacific Rail Rood Bill, until the
second Monday in December that is to
say, Ihe second Week of next session. The
ostensible object of the postponement was
to await the receipt ol surveys of diflerent
routes. We rather expect, however, says
the Baltimore American, that the fall elec
tions, and the political troubles that await
a large majority of the members in their
Congressional districts, have awakened a
new anxiety for an early adjournment, and
we may now hope to tee the buisness of
the session, which has been postponed lor
the discussion of abstractions, despatched
with commendable alacrity.
O" Congressional Candidates. The
last Mining Rcghttr, published at Polts
ville, has an article of some length on Ihe
subject of Ihe next candidate for Congress
in this district. The article is in reply lo
an article on lhat subject published in the
Milton Democrat, in which it was stated
that there was an understanding when Col
Straub was nominated, that he was to be a
candidate only one term, and then give
way to Major Dewart. The Register
pleads ignorance of any such arrangement,
and says if such wai the case, it would not
be binding on Ihe democracy. VVe know
nothing, personally, about tbe arrangement
but we recollect, distinctly, hearing it said
that such an agreement had been made.
The Register favors the nomination of J.
IV. Cake, Esq., of PotUville, and seems lo
think the nominee should ben tariff man.
E7Siud. Wf received few dayi
since several fine shad and tome salmon
from Mr. Wm. (laugler ol Seliusgrove.
They were caught at Mr. Oaugler't Kih
try, about two miles below this place. It

mUaiC-TUtT HUMAN VOICBi
Of all the toundi which music utters,
none are to pleasing, to varied in Hpret
sion, so capable of affecting tbt leelings, so
refined and delicate, and at the same time
overpowering, as the human voice. A
tingle voice, with Ihe compastol only two
octaves, can expresi more than any instru
nvnt or anv combination of Instruments.
Compared, indeed, with the tone! of an
instrument, the human voice leemi like life
contrasted with inanimate nature. In
sinain a iouI seemi to entef into lound,
and to give it life. Thit effect is, indeed,
partially produced by an instrument in the
hands of a skilllul performer, though never
in a degree equal to the power ol voice.
In playing on the piano forte for instance,
how much of Ihe effect depends upon the
touch ! In the hand! of tome persons the
instrument seemi almost magically inspr
red 'compared with their touch the per
formance of others it lifeless. Nor is this
power to be acquired j the most consummate
execution does not give it ; years ol prac
tice and study will not attain it. A fine
touch is a natural gift, and though it may
be aided and improved by cultivation, still
we can never have it unless it it born with
us.
The voice rises In quality of tone far
above all instruments, and by the combina
tion of a variety of voices, the utmost
pel lection of music is attained. VVe prefer
the r fleet of a number of persons singing in
harmony to that produced by any single
voice, however file. .-
The perfection of vocal music is un
doubtedly lo be found in the choir of sing
ers who perform mass in the presence 6f
the pope, at Rome. The whole effect of
music depends upon the expression : and
herein consists the secret of the Pope's
choir. It is, undoubtedly, more difficult
for a choir lo sing well, when unaccompa
nied by instrumental music, and it should
never be attempted except by performers
who are perfect in their parts, so that they
may sing with confidence, and feel cer
tain of never losing the pilch, Which im
mediately destorts the whole performance.
The accompaniment, however should, in
all cases be modest and low, aiming to
sustain the voices but never to lead them.
The tound of a heavy bass will be found
more effectual in supporting the voice, and
in bringing it to the correct pitch if the
performer is singing flat, than the highest
instrument. Church choirs should prac
tice singing without the aid ol any instru
ment, thus they will be enabled to give a
power lo their music which can be attain
ed in no other way. There is a richness
in the combination of voices, which no
combination of instruments can produce ;
for the service of the church, or the evening
serenade, we know nothing to be compared
with it.
