The Reading Gazette, speaking of their return, says they are very regular and systematic in their habits,coming in the Spring and departing in Autumn, with remarkable precision as to lime. A record kept of their arrival, from the year 1835 to this time, shows that they have generally appeared between the Ist and 9th of April. Only once did (hey come earlier, and that was in 18-10, on tho 30th of March. The latest date of their appearance was in 185(1, when llicy remained m their Southern homes until the 17th of April. Last year they came on the full nf April, one day later than this year. They hatch two broods of young during their short sojourn here- It is a sight worth seeing to watch them of an evening, when returning to their nests, after a , long day’s sport upon the wing; and music i worth any one's hearing, to listen to their live ly warblings. How they come swarming in from all points of tho compass -how they crowd one upon another until the wall is fairly ■ black with them—how they flutter, and chirp, and warble merry lays—how they disappear one by one tu the tiny compartmenis, wlurh seem a world 100 small to hold them- how their voices gradually subside in the shadows ' of twilight, and at last, ns Night throws his 1 pall over them, they sink into sleep and silence ! Of all the pleasing spectacles which animated Nature affords us, we know of none more sn ' than this.

A llliuucane. —On Saturday uiglit last, Jjelwcon 0 and 10 o'clocK, one of the most vio lent storms of wind experienced in this section of country for many years, passed over our town, but occasioned no material damage. In Philadelphia, we notice, the gale was terrific. A number of uduuhlo buddings were blown down, ami one hundred and lifty Iwnses un roofed and lajured. The l.nlgri na^n: At 10 o clock at night, there arose a fierce roaring of the wind. meeeded by a few flashes of lightning and followed with a fall of hail atones. Instantly there wax a tremendous rat tling of window shutters. fluttering of ownings I falling of signs, lifting of roofs and destruction of walls and oven of buildings. The storm was 1 felt with more severity in the Northern part of the city, where not leas than one hundred and fifty houses have fdt its elitet in the demolition of chimneys, injury to roofs and damage lo •damage to walls. Some of the heal construct-1 cd houses apparently, suffered as severely ns buildings of a less substantial character. In Kensington, the effects of the wind arc to ho 1 seen in every direction. What is very fortu- f nolo amid all this destruction and falling of j bricks and scattering of limbers, scarcely any personal Injury was sustained, only a few per- i sons, as far as wo hove heard, having received j any injury, aud that of no very serious char acter. j AN EifiLT OHGJAIZiTIOY. j We notice by our exchanges that in a nura j ber of the counties of this Slate the Democrats arc organizing,.and forming Democratic Globs, J preparatory to the Presidential contest to qomo oIV t his ftll. This is eminently right and. prop-' rr. We hope our Democratic friends Ina Com-, i bcrland ns well as'those oH all other counties, I trill follow the praise-worthy example.'. ThO j Democratic party has nerer been defeated in I thia Union when thoroughly united, and never ran hr. When united, democracy is invincible, | and well our opponents know this fact. An j early organization. therefore, in view of the I great contest to pome of! next fall, is absolute- j ly necessary, and should be atlendco to ns soon ns possible. Since the formation of the Feder al I’nion, (to use the language of Uio Philadel phia Argus,) the Democratic parly has been, in the general, thoroughly true to its princi ■ pics, and therefore thoroughly consistent with itself. It began with the Jeffersons and Madi sons, who comprehended that the proposed-Con t stilufion should be, not a burdensome and dis i trustful instrument of restriction, but a mentis : freeing, amplifying nni ‘ cncouragihJ' all popular energies and spontancojisncas. In strict , consistency with this origin, was the Demo cratic sympathy with the French Revolution, the repeal of the Alien and Sedition Laws, the cheap and domestic simplicity cf Jefferson’s administration, the purchase of Louisiana, that doubled the area of our development, tho war Ku.irr Doi i, uis a Dat. —The practice now so common for members uf Congiess, to leave their legislative duties ami start oil on political campaigns should be stopped. , / Klll B Winter j N now f Q , r |y displnccd from his i<*y throne, ami the sceptre is wichhd -by genial, smiling Spring.

Another evidence is the change of feeling to ward Mr. Douglas.-so abundantly manifested throughout the country, by intelligent and ra tional men, to whom lire Nebraska Bill hoa lost its terrors. The pepple aro rapidly com in£ to their senses again; and, noting that 'neither ruin or desolation shocks our country. IW w*a i predicted; that Mr, Douglass, in the language of the great Daniel, ‘still lives;’ that, upon a sobtir second thought, the Nebraska Bill benefits’tlieNorlh far more than the South: that demagogues arc making capital for their own aggrandizement; that the overwhelming influence of the North, its wealth, jt»» industry, its tireless enterprise, renders slavery in Kan sas perfectly impossible: noting all these self evident facts, the people, I confidently believe, are looking upon tho Kansas-Nchraska Bill in a more deliberate and reasonable thanner.” Thus it is that time vindicates, as usual, the wisdom of Democratic measures, which al ways stand the test of public ordeal and exam ination. , CC7“ The Speakers of tholwo branches of our j legislatures have been presented by tho | Clerks of the respective bodies, each with a beautiful and appropriate testimonial of es j teem, and memorial of thcic legislative honors, in th« shape of a Gavel—the emblem of a pre siding officer’s authority. The one presented j by Col. Wm. Jack, to the courteous and effi- I cicnt Speaker of the House, is made of solid I ivory, elegantly mounted with silver, and con- J tains, upon the band around the head, the fol lowing inscription : Richardson L. Wright, Speaker House of Representatives of Penna., \ Session A■ D. 1856.” It is an exceedingly I tasteful and ornamental piece of workmanship, i and a gift of which the worthy recipient may j well be proud. The similar lentitnonial from Col. Thos. A. Maguire to the able speaker of the Senate, is in somewhat plainer style, but not less neat and well made. The lurndlc is dark rosewood, highly polished, and the head of solid ivory, upon one side of which is the following in scription : “//on. William M. Piatt, Speaker of the Senate of PcniiAi/Zvania. A. D. 1856.” Upon the opposite side is the Pennsylvania Coat-of-Arms, engraved in handsome style.— Speaker Piatt prizes his gift highly, and will doubtless treasure it during life, os a pleasing memento of-his Senatorial career. , AypßKw Jackson* Doxn’elson*.
