AN IMPROVE3IENT.-A movement is on foot,
to have the fence in' front of the Court House,
set back ten feet, or just inside the row of
trees fronting the Court House, so that the
pavement at the point will be twenty feet
wide, for the purpose of making a promenade.
We have one of the prettiest and most pleas
ant towns in the interior of the State, and
such an improvement, is just what we want.
That part of the town is a delightful spot and
is eminently suited for that very purpose.—
It would be such a nice place for "ye lovers"
to walk " by moonlight alone" as well as
all others, who love to promenade. We hope
the project will not fall through.
ftEr' An Encampment will be held in this
place beginning on the 24th of September,
and to continue for one week. We learn that
four hundred dollars have already been sub
-scribed by our citizens, to help defray the ex
penses which will necessarily be incurred in
getting it- up. Another hundred is to be
made up yet, but it is confidently hoped that
our citizens will meet the demand promptly.
A large attendance is expected, our business
men will lose nothing by subscribing liberal
ly, as the affair will bring a rush of custo
mers to town, when they can get their money
back with interest.
Goon.—The spirit of patriotism having per
vaded the hearts of some of our old ladies,
they gave vent to their pent up feelings by
baking themselves a lot of " ye good cakes"
and sich like, and on Thursday evening last,
repaired to McCahan's Grove, - where, we learn
they had a gal-orious time. Strange the spirit
does not. enter the heads and hearts of some
of our yOung ladies. Move along girls, or
your mothers will get ahead of you. •
SEND US THE NEWS.—We hope our subscri
bers in different sections will tell us occasion
ally of things happening in their localities.—
It is surprising what an interesting sheet a
paper can be made when friends help us in
this way. Don't be alarmed that we will
charge you anything for publishing your
items, but send them along any way, and we
will . fix them up, and be thankful for the fa
vor.
rcer A son of Peter C. Swoope, while en
deavoring to climb to the top of a tree near
Roman's store, on Monday evening last, lost
his hold, and fell with his back on the curb
stone ; but sustaining no other injury than a
severe shock, and rendering him insensible
for a few moments. It was, indeed, surpri
sing that his neck was not broken.
SLIGHT FIRE.—One day last week, ti-.. roof
of the jail was discovered to be on fire, but
before making much headway, it was fortu
nately extinguished. We understand there is
movement on foot to repair the above men
tioned " institution." A good idea, that; but
would it not be better to tear it down and
erect a new one.
gir Rev. 0. 0. McLean, of lowa, lowa
City, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of this place, passed through here on
Wednesday last, on his way east, to see his
friends. Hope he will stop to see us on his
way home.

preached in the colored church, on the corner
of Mifflin and Bath streets, on Tuesday eve

On Wednesday evening, another colored
woman lectured on Liberia. We. did not
hear either of them, but those who did, speak
in high terms of their productions.
Vir Oa Monday last, we had quite a " re
freshing" thunder shower, accompanied by
a slight fall of hail. It was of short dura
tion, however, and immediately after, the
sun came out in all its glory.

A SECOND TELL, IN THE SHOOTING LINE.—
Mr. Fred. Whitehead, of St. Louis, is aston
ishing the sharp-shooters with his marksman
ship. A few days since, Mr. T. F. Lennox
stationed himself off at the distance of ten
paces, and placed a common-sized lemon on
the top of his head. Mr. Whitehead took a
pistol and popped away at the lemon. The
ball entered fairly in the centre and cut the
lemon in two. During the performance, Mr.
Lennox, on whose head the lemon was, stood
with his -arms folded and coolly smoked his
pipe. 1-lad he moved an inch, or had the
skill of Whitehead failed, his soul would have
been sent instantly to eternity. We scarcely
- know whom to admire the most, Lennox, for
Pi intrepidity, or themarksman far his
The Rope-Walking Mania.
De Lave Crosses the Patterson Falls on a tight
Rope.
Mons. De Lave, who following in the wake
of Blondon, at Niagara, achieved some noto
riety by his teats at Rochesfer in crossing Gene
see Falls on a tight rope, yesterday gave
similar exhibition at Patterson, N. J., which
was witnessed by many thousand persons.—
The place selected for the " Grand Ascen
sion" was below the falls, where the river
passes through a gorge at least six hundred
feet in width, and nearly two hundred feet
deep. The rope, which was of Manilla, and
of the size of an ordinary hawser, was
stretched across this chasm from near " The
Cottage on the Cliff" to the top of " Morris'
Mountain." On the cliff side it was rove
through a stout block near the top of a tree
to give it the required height or level, and
was then hove taught and firmly secured.
Lateral and perpendicular stays of small
rope were also attached to the large one to
render it firm, and prevent it from swaying
under the feet of the performer. In order to
turn the affair to the best account a high
board fencer e protected the entrance to the
grounds; but while hundreds paid their quar
ter, thousands who did not pay witnessed the
feat from prominent points in the neighbor
hood. Morris' mountain was covered with
spectators, a large portion of them being la
dies. The " island," the windows and top of
the gun-mill, the print-works and machine
shop, commanding a view of the scene, were
alive with people. It was estimated that
nearly ten thousand persons witnessed the
sight.
Everything being in readiness, De Lave
made his appearance shortly after 4 o'clock,
and mounted the ladder which led to the start
ing-point on the rope. lie was greeted with
cheers, which he acknowledged by taking off
his cap and waving it to the multitude below.
He paused a few moments to survey the rope,
and after directing that two of the stays,
which were rather slack, should be tightened,
he poised himself upon the rope with a pole
in hand, and began the walk, keeping time
with the band, which played " Hail Colum
bia." The cheers of the multitude were now
hushed, and each one held his breath as the
little Frenchman walked rapidly forward over
the dizzy height. The rope slightly swayed
under his step, but there was no interruption
in his progress, and in about four minutes he
reached the opposite side at the top of Mor
ris' mountain.
Prolonged cheers now greeted him from
both sides of the fearful chasm over which
he had passed. Here De Lave passed
among the crowd, receiving what each one
would throw into his cap, by which, it is said,
he realized a handsome sum. In about fif
teen minutes he again made his appearance,
having exchanged his jaunty little cap and
feather for a drab Kossuth hat. After wav
ing a signal to the band, which struck up the
" Marseillaise," he began his return. In the
middle of the rope he stopped, laid dbwn up
on his back, rose, sat astride of the rope, then
on one side, and repeated these feats several
times, the spectators cheering from both sides
of the river. He concluded his walk, appear
ing considerably " winded," and in a profuse
perspiration. The performance was now con
cluded. De Lave gave notice of a repetition
of the feat on Mnnday next, when he would
walk "-:in peach baskets tied to his feet,
str ,u on his head, and perform other "terrif
ic feats." A large number of pickpockets
were on the ground, and one man, Israel Mon
son, a butcher doing business on Main street
lost his pocket-book, /containing the avails of
his week's business—about $115.—.N.

Our Pennsylvania Tanceys
The Democratic papers of this State, in
their general condemnation of the course of
the disunion bolters at Charleston, appear to
forget that we had some Yanceyites in our
own delegation who should not be lost sight
of. Those are they who, under the lead of
Senator Bigler, were willing to leave the Con
vention and join the fire-eating factionists of
the South, and even offered inducements to
got delegates from other States to go out also.
How shall such men be viewed by Democrats?
They certainly cannot be considered friends
of the party, fur they were willing to break
it up by joining the secessionists, whom they
encouraged in their treasonable designs.
When Yancey and other avowed disunion
men made their most ultra speeches in the
Convention, denouncing the Democratic Con
vention as false to its pledges among other
things, Bigler and friends were the first to
congratulate them, and otherwise out-Herod
ed llerod in catering to their extreme views.
They were willing to break up the Demo
cratic, the only national party in the country,
in order to carry out, to the bitter end, their
hostility to Mr. Douglas. Their subserviency
was so marked as to be contemptible in the
sight of all honorable men.
The course of Mr. Bigler does not much
surprise us, for his policy, during,the past two
years, has been in keeping with it. He has
shown a willingness to accede to the most ex
treme views of the Southern fire-eaters, and
in all things, was but too happy to serve
them. The cherished principles of the Dem
ocratic party have such slight hold upon his
political conscience that he is entirely willing
to give them the go-by, and take to his bo
som the rankest heresy. This easy virtue of
his is most beautifully exemplified in hislate
vote upon the resolutions of Senator Davis.
In this he deliberately advocates a Congres
sional slave code for the Territories, and says
that he is in favor of slavery being kept in
them against the will and wishes of the peo
ple. He takes the Republican ground that
the power of Congress is supreme over the
Territories, which makes them feeble depen
dencies of the National Government. Re
member Pennsylvanians, that Wm. Bigler,
your• Senator in Congress, was willing to de
stroy the Democratic party at Charleston, by
joining the secession traitors of Mr. Yancey;
also remember that if any of you shall re
move to a. new Territory, he will be one of the
the first to ask Congress to compel you to
have slavery, in case you do not accept it vol
untarily. He thus violates the usages and
principles of the Democratic party, and there
fore is no longer worthy our confidence:—
We hope Democrats will bear it in mind when
he comes to ask them for further political fa
vors.—Dowlestown Democrat.
SINGITLAR DEATH OF A TELEGRAPH OPERA.-
TOR.—The Marietta, Ohio, papers announce
the death of George L. Slocomb, a telegraphic
operator at that place. A short time since,
while he was sitting at his instrument in his
office, during the prevalence of a, heavy storm,
the lightning ran in upon the wires and com
pletely stunned him. A few days developed
the fact that his limbs were paralyzed, and
his muscles totally deprived of action. The
paralysis gradually extended over the body,
au death cadetl his affliction.
The Prospects of the Growing Crops. l
Generally, the intelligence in regard to the
crops is very encouraging. The long drought
which threatened a famine in the Northwest
has been broken by copious rains. " The
fields are green, the fruit trees are in bloom,
already verdure has commenced luxuriant
growth, and all nature looks refreshed and
invigorated." The Milwaukee Newsays:—
" If the present weather continues but a short
time longer, no fears need be entertained that
the harvest which is to follow will far exceed
in bounty and fruitfulness its predecessors
for many years. With a genial atmosphere,
an abundance of moisture, and careful atten
tion, the coming autumn will witness a gath
ering of cereals which will gladden the heart
and insure prosperity for the future."
The St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer is in
formed by a gentleman, who has travelled
over large portions of Minnesota, that all sorts
of crops are in a better condition than ever
before known at this season of the year, and
more than double the amount of ground is
under cultivation than last year. In Kansas
the prospect is not so favorable, the drought
continues, its bad effects are very severely
felt. The farmers are apprehensive that they
will not be able to get in their corn in time
to ripen before the frosts. The fall wheat is
entirely killed out for want of .rain. The oat
crop will be nothing, unless rain comes.—
The prospect is good in lowa. The rye har
vest will be very large. An unusual area
of corn has been planted in this State, which
is coming on finely.
The Michigan papers speak of the wheat
crop as looking remarkably well. A late
number of the Detroit Advertiser notices
some fine specimens of wheat and rye. The
rye was fully four feet in height, and was
headed Out ; the wheat was at least three
feet, and would probably have exhixited heads
in a week's time. Such crops are predicted
in Kentucky. The Louisville ,Touriza/ says:
" We hear many complaints about the wheat
in this State. A good many .of the fields in
which the wheat has been frozen out have
been planted in something else. The rem'ain
ing fields . present a spotted appearance, the
plants being of uneven height. The cause of
this is stated to be the work of a fly, which de
posits its egg near the root, the worm eats
into the stalk, producing a weak and sickly
growth."
Grain and fruit promise well in Pennsyl
vania. The Pittsburgh Journal thinks the
fruit crop in theavestern section of the State
will be unprecedented. Pears, plums, cher
ries, apples, all promise an abundant crop.—
The strawberry never looked finer, and such
is the case with the other small fruits. The
wheat crop never looked better thoughout the
State, and is advancing finely ; and from pres
ent indications will mature early. The in
sects are making serious ravages in Virginia.
The Fredericks (Va.) Herald says that the
growing wheat crop from Fredericksburg to
the mouth of the Rappahannock river—em
bracing the large and fertile valley of the
Rappahannock, nearly one hundred miles in
length—is less promising than for many years
past. In Richmond, Westmoreland, Middle
sex, Spottsylvania, King George, Orange, and
Stafford, the worm is making great inroads.
The worm has made its appearance in sever
al parts of the county of Ambers, and is play
ing sad havoc with the growing wheat.
The Americans Don't Like the Chicago
Nominations.
The St. Louis _News, an organ of Edward
Bates, a Free-soil American sheet, thus gives
vent to its feelings of disgust at the manner
the Americans were treated at Chicago. It
says :
" The result has not vindicated the assu
rances of Republican liberty to the Southern
States that were struggling for emancipation
from the dominion of National Demoeracy.---
It has not vindicated the assurances of just
consideration to the People's party of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, we were invited to
participate in the Chicago Convention.—
There is no Republican party proper in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. An immense
number of the Opposition of those States, re
cently acting with the Republican party are
Americans. But yet, at Chicago, Hon. Ed
ward Bates, of Missouri, was attacked and
defeated as a prominent contestant for the
nomination of President, on the sole ground
that he presided over the Whig National Con
vention of 1856, which nominated Mr. Fil
more, and was, therefore, under the suspicion
of having had a sympathy with the American
cause, although it was known full well that
he had never been in any way connected with
that party. Governor Keener, of Illinois,
Carl Shurz, of Wisconsin, and other Ger
mans as exponents of that foreign element
in the United States, at Chicago, formally
waited on the Indiana delegation, that was
supposed to be favorable to Mr. Bates, and
threatened the revolt of the whole German vote
of the country, and the running of an inde
pendent ticket, in case Mr. Bates was nomina
ted. In this way the sentiments and sympa
thies of the American portion of the Opposi
tion, all through the free Statss and the
friendly slave States, was defied and cast con
temptuously out of the programme of the
Chicago nominaturts. .Even - Gov. Banks, of
Massachusetts, though Republican as he is,
was fairly hooted out of the field at Chicago
because of his Americanism.
" These are facts mortifying and humiliat
ing; and. -how they are likely to effect the
Whig and American vote in Illinois, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island,
Delaware, Connecticut and New York, re
mains to be seen."
xye- Parson Brownslow says of the late
speech of Senator Douglas :
"In the Senate, this day, at one o'clock,
Senator Douglas commenced his reply to the
speech of Jeff. Davis, and his expose of the
Democratic Senatorial caucus resolution, re
pudiating squatter sovereignty. In order to
secure a seat in the gallery, I repaired thither
one hour and a half before the Senate was
called to order. The immense galleries were
crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and all
the vacant space on the floor of the Senate
was crowded with foreign ministers and mem
bers of the House. Douglas spoke three hours
and five minutes, and then gave way to a mo
tion to adjourn, and will conclude to-morrow.
The speech was an able one, both powerful
and convincing, for, as a debator, I doubt
whether he has a superior in American pup
lie life. * * * But he sways the people,
and inspires both friends and foes with admi
ration for his abilities. I think I have heard
all who spoke of it say the same. Ile liter
ally ruined the Democratic party, and made
tne Senate caucus, who adopted Davis' reso
lution condemning squatter sovereignty, look
like a gang of stupid asses, utterly ignorant
of what they-were doing."

THE HALF-MtekGED HIGHWAYMAN.--One
would naturally suppose that a man who had
suffered all the horrors of hanging, just short
of actual deat,h would never risk the gallows
again ; but such, in one case at least, was not
the result. A house-breaker named Smith
was hanged at Tyburn, Dec. 24, 1705, and
when he had hung nearly fifteen minutes, the
people shouted " a reprieve" lie was cut
down, bled, and recovered
When asked what his feelings had been, he
replied, in substance, that " when he was
turned off, he for some time was sensible - 15 f
very great pain, occasioned by the weight of
his body, and felt his spirits in a strange com
motion, violently pressing upwards ; that hav
ing forced their way to his head, he, as it
were, saw a great blaze or glaring light,
which seemed to go out of the eyes with a
flash, and then ho lost all sense of pain ; that
after he was cut down, and. began to come,
to himself, the blood and spirits forcing them
selves into their tormer channels, put him, by
a sort of pricking or shooting, to such intoler
able pain, that he could have wished those
hanged who had cut him down." Ever after
wards he went by the name of" Half-hanged
Smith." This fellow soon returned to his
former evil habits, and was again tried atthe
Old Bailey for house-breaking ; but the jury
brought in a special verdict, leaving the affair
to the decision of the twelve judges, who de
cided in favor of the prisoner. Even this sec
ond wonderful escape did not deter him from
resuming his malpractices; and the third
time he was to have been brought to trial, but
the prosecutor died before the day appointed,
and thus he once more got free. Nothing is
known of his subsequent history.
NOVEL MARRIAGE,-A couple were married
by Justice Purdy yesterday, says the Detroit
Free Press, of the 2fith ult., one of whom was
a female, aged fifty-eight, and the other a
verdant-looking young man, who had appa
rently reached the mature age of about
eighteen. He maintained, and stuck to it,
that he was thirty-seven years old, and, in
order to make up the deficiency, she brought
her years down to forty-five. The dodge did
not work, and upon being informed that they
must make oaths to the facts, they declined,
and requested to be united without any ques
tioning. The young fellow said lie had no
particular objection to telling his age, but the
lady was captious, and refused to divulge un
til she was informed that• she must give up
all hope of possessing the youngster as a pen
alty. She said he didn't amount to much as
a man, but then he would be handy to have
around, and she thought she might as well
take him, as she had more money than she
knew what to do with, and wanted somebody
to spend it. The bridegroom looked as if he
might fulfil the duty with a little judicious
training.
•AN AWFUL WARNING.—The Baltimore
Clipper, of Thursday, says we heard yester
day, from an entirely reliable and responsi
ble source, the particulars of an occurrence,
which can only be looked upon as an in
stance of Divine rebuke for taking the name
of the Almighty in justification of a false
hood. We refrain from mentioning names
through consideration of the parties, residing
in the south-western section of the city. It
appears that a few days since the aunt of a
young girl about eighteen years of age, ac
cused her of having been guilty of some mis
conduct, which she positively denied, and on
being again accused, she called upon God to
strike her blind if she was not telling the
truth. In a moment after, according to her
own statement, a film seemed to pass before
her eyes, and in the course of five minutes,
she was totally blind, and has continued
sightless ever since. The afflicted victim of
her own impiety, confessed that she had
called upon her Maker to justify her in what
was a falsehood. May not this be considered
as a terrible instance of Divine wrath, and
may not the thoughtless take warning ?
DEATH or By - Roles WIDOW.—The death of
Byron's widow is announced. This lady,
who was born in 1794, was the only daughter
and heir of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, by the
sister and co-heir of the second Viscount and
ninth Baron Wentworth. On the death of
the other co-heir, Lord Scarsdale, in 1856,
she succeeded to the barony of Wentworth by
writ, the viscounty becoming extinct. She
was married to the great poet in 1815, but
the union, as is well known, was a most un
happy one for the husband and the wife.—
Their only child, Ada, was married to Earl
Lovelace, and died in 1852.
the stomach of a dead cow at Double
Springs, Ky., were found eighty-two balls of
hair, varying in size from four to ten inches.
They wore almost round, hard, and perfect
ly compact. For a number of years past, (lu
ring the hog slaughtering season, the hair had
been purchased and spread on the ground to
dry. Where this hair was spread last season,
the grass grew up in the Spring. The cow
in eating the grass must have swallowed the
hair, forming the various balls.

School Teachers, and a Guide to Family Scripture Read

This book makes the Bible a pleasant as well as pro
found subject of study. It leaves no difficult or obscure
point unexplained. It renders every passage clear. It is
exactly the volume that every family, which reads at all
imperatively needs to place beside the Bible, as its best
companion.

TESTIMONIALS OF TILE CLERGY
"I have given some attention to the , Biblie.tl Reason
Why,' and feel bound to say that it seems to me to con
tain a vast amount of information on Biblical subjects,
convoyed in a clear manner, illustrated by many valuable
cuts, and printed on good paper. It constitutes a valuable
addition to the apparatus of the Teacher, Parent, and pri
vate Christian."
Right Rev. ALONZO POTTER, D. D., LL. D.
.131. , ,h0p of Pennsylvania
I have examined the 'Biblical Reason Why,' and find
it to be a repertory of facts on Biblical subjects, set forth
in a plain and intelligible way. Indeed, lam surprised
at the amount of matter that is compressed into this vol
ume. For use in families and schools, I consider it the
best book of the kind I have soen."
Rev. JOIIN McCLINTOCR, D. D., LT.. D.,
President of the Troy University, and Pastor' St.Paut's
Church (Methodist Episcopal") New York.
"The attention I have given your book satisfies tne that
it cannot thil to give important aid to all students of tho
Bible. and especially that large class who have neither
time nor means to bestow on larger or more critical works.
Tho plan of your work is excellent, and the matter well
chosen. It should have a large circulation. It will cer
tainly bo of great use in the study of the Holy Scriptures."
Rev. JOSEPII 11. KENNARD,
Pastor of the Eighth street Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
