[JtT" We notice that Mr. John C. Dunlap,
of Silver Spring township, has become associa
ted with tho Cumberland Talley Bank of this
Borough.
TBB Streets, Au.—The streets and alleys of
our town arc now being scraped and cleaned,
in accordance with an" order, and under the di
rection of the Town Council. This is right.—
The streets were in a wretched condition, and
the health of our citizens as well as the dirty
appearance of the town, suggested that the
filth and rubbish should be removed.
Carlisle Looking Up.—The spiiit ol im
provement appears to be abroad in our town
this spring. The carpenter's hammer and the
trowel of the mason resound in every quarter.
Everything around us wears the aspect of en
terprise, and Cailisle, for oneb. is looking np: —
Push on the good woik.cNcry one, and in a
few years Carlisle will be the handsomest os H
is now the most healthy inland town m the
State.

Don’t Kill tub Birds !—A multitude of
them have perished during the winter ; give
tho survivors a chance- Shame on the man or
boy who kills robins amt little innocent birds
at any season ol ibeycar. It is cruel; it is
the act of a coward.
Memoir of Mu B'ciusas The Memoir
of James Bren a v in. published at length on
our first page, should be carefully perused by
our readers. The position in which Mr. Bu
chanan has been placed, without any conni
vance on his part, but through the generous
partiality of legions of friends, and the strong
likelihood of his nomination by the Democratic
party lor the office of President, makes it ne
cessary thot his services to the country should
be thoroughly known that they might bo pro
perly appreciated. Bead iL It will well re
pay a perusal.
Escape op a Pntso.NKU. —A prisoner named
Pf.sms Ryan, nn Irishman, made his escape
from our County Pnson on Sunday mghl last.

the floor of the cell in which he was contlnui. j
and then, by icmovnjg l \»o hnck out of ihe j

From the cellar (the doors of which were not
bolted.) he walked into the yard, seated the
wall hy means of a rope, and look "French I

was convicted for (he crime of larceny at the

SPRING,
Beauliful. flowery, laughing Spring, has
opened her lap-full ol bright treasures, and the
world of nature is revelling in her bounties.—
The green velvet grass is springing up. fresh
from the warm earth, and bright flowers are
blooming in the wood-lands. How the heart (
leaps to be abroad on these bright holidays of
nature, revelling in the sa eels of earth and the
clear sunshine of Heaven 1 It is the season of
rejoicing, when all go forth in the presence of
Opd, cheerful and happy. F.wn the poor men
dicant, as he trudges slowly on his dusty path,
toms aside to pluck the humble violet that
blooms upon, the road-side, and forgets, in the
joys of Spring. Ins lone and desolate lot. Love
ly, indeed, are thy bright flowers, O Spring '
To the aged they are as the waters of youth
and their breath is like the breathings of in
fant* upon the seared and furrowed check. To
middle-age they arc the sweet mm mhranerrs
that tell of the happy past. To } outli they are
the emblems of hope and of love, that open to
our minds bright visions of the future, and
scatter their richness around the pathway of
our dreams. What so enchanting as a morn
ing ramble in the country, long before the nun
Wakened from his revels among the bright
creations of (he other side of our planet'. Hut
you must be astir betimes, for, although he
may much admire oar opposite neighbors, ho
ntTcr lingers behind Time, who, by-thc-way,
drives a fleet pair of winged nags, and sympa
thizes with no one. If you arc 100 slothful, or
100 busy—which is rarely the ease—to enjoy
this luxury, open your window, and inhale the
fresh breath of the morning ; and as it plays
with your loose hair, and fan* with its invisible
wings your fevered forehead, you will feel its
soothing influence within your breast—even
though its tenement be flinty—and a fit ling ol
benevolence and conlcnlmmit will steal over
your spirit, like oil poured upon troubled wa
ter*.
To no one does the soft rhann of Spring
coma with a surer welcome, than to the wean
ed. Jaded, half-paid political Kditor. Kven the
news of a successful charier elect ion does not
possess for hia troubled spirit the joys that
oome with the mild Spring. Hut he cannot
often enjoy it in Us purity, and is obliged to
Luke it second-handed, wuhm the “wilderness
of brick and mortar.” Yet he is thank lul for
small favors, and whether they coino in the
form of subscriptions in advance, or bright fra
grant boqucls from the hip of Dame Nature, he
philosophically gives thanks, ami waits pa
tientfy for more.
“Tub Deserted Village."—The city of
Louisville, Ky., is fast reaping (he soubriquet
of “tho deserted village.” Business is at a
utand. stores closed and dwellings empty*, (hot
teemed with busy life before the Know-Noth
mg pestilence brought upon it death and de
struction. Like the "cities of the plain” it is
doomed to penance ; and years of struggle will
Lave to bo borne before it recovers from its
present disgrace.
Af flO WOIHDNOT--BE ff-FIKIEB ?
lu this glad season, when the earth is all
around burstinginto life and beauty;and nature
is keeping holiday—-when winter ts
vegetations Waking again. fromfUs deaih-liko

from {very bush, and man himself wakes Id
new life, amid the actisty around him; ! u , ap
vouldnot be a Farmer? him, antialradat
for him alone, bloom the fair flowers in nature’s
field—for him the feathered songster pours her
sweetest note, and for him the face of creation
wems a constant Rtnile. ■* Not so with the in
habitants of cities and towns, or with the pro
fcssional man, or the man of business, any
where. TheSS are shut out from the blessed
influence of nature. Their business is with
men- -xcatksa»--AdbUiousrßod*<>ftgniifq.w i dfc*’
honest men—they themselves are r afl engaged
in thccagcrscramblc for wealth and distinction,
sometimes caring little whom ‘'they thrust
down with their unhalloWed tread, so they
mount upon the wreck, and they lose the salu
tary lesson of benevolence which may bolearn- 1
cd from the ways of Providence in the outward
world. Thoy must maintain a constant strug
gle with temptation, or yield to its-power.—
Accustomed to so much of evil, they are some--
times almost tempted to deny the existence of
good. But the farmer pursues the ‘even tenor
of his way, 1 undisturbed by the passions of
men. His dealings are with nature, and he
may, if he will not shut his heart against it,
linrn true wisdom from its teachings. In tho
springing grass, the opening- -flower and 'the
ripening harvest—in sunshine and in shower—
he may see a token of God’s love and goodness,
and in the quiet of his own home, he may al
most foiget the existence of evil. Thus widely
different are the two classes spoken of. Yet
we sometimes find farmers discontented with
their lot, and eager to join with their fellows in
the feverish excitement and speculation. And
very often wc see young men, impatient to
leave their paternal acres, and to seek, ns they
vainly think, some more honorable or genteel
I mode of earning a. living—they bad rather
show a lily-while hand to a lady, os they mea
sure off a yard of tope, than exhibit a manly,
muscular frame, with a baud that docs not
shrink from contact with implements of hush,
andrv. It has. indeed, become oneof the great
| errors of onr time, that young men are de
serting the true nobility of the country, for the
sake of wearing a more delicate complexion, or
living, as they vainly hope, more at their case.
Hence n is, that nil trades and professions are
overstocked, that wc ha\c more lawyers than
clients, more doctors than patients, more par
sons than parishes.
We hear men complain of hard limes, mc
-1 ohanics cannot find situations, yet tho country
| is actually suffering, and very severely too, for
j a want of proper attention to farming, and why
is uf Ihcause many a man who should have
followed the plow, has become too proud for
that, and in his aspirations to become a gentle
man. has undertaken to wield a pen, or admin
ister cataplasms and boluses. It is all wrong.
\oung men should bo taught to regard the em
ployment of their fathers as one of the most
honorable in the world.
Your fanner is the independent man. What
cares lie for hard times, or high prices! Banks
may fait—merchant’s notes may be protested
and their drafts dishonorcdjbiit ‘Seed time and
I harvest,* that old and strtMp flrr - 1 - n
and the bank of nature, where the fanner
makes hts deposites, is‘as good as gold’and
always discounts liberally. He laughs at, or
rather pities, those who arc left at the mercy
nf the times, and com|>elled to eat the bread of
carelessness. Beef at 12 and 15 cent* a pound
and other eatables in proportion, docs not wor
ry him. He takes the favors Providence so
bountifully bestows upon him, and asks few of
his fellows. Wh.le want afflicts the rest of the
woild, he may snap his fingers in his face, as
much as to say, ‘-Who cans for you?”
I.idei.s. —The bill relative to libels has pas
sed Ixith branches of the Legislature. It isos
follows : “That, from and after the passage of
this act. on the trial of indictment* for writing
or publishing a libel, the truth of the matter
charged os libellous may be given in evidence;
and if the jury in any such case shall find that
the same was written or published from good
motives and for justifiable ends, and that Uie
matter so charged was true, it shall operate to
(he acquittal of the defendant or defendants.*’
The passage of this bill is a redeeming feature
in (he history of the Legislature. It will pro
tect honest minded newspaper publishers, to a
considerable extent, and relieve them of the
risks to which they have been constantly sub
let under (he antiquated and unsettled law'
upon live subject. Xhi* reform ts hi imitation
of the example of several Stat M-of theUnfdn,
and will be cordially welcomed by the commu
nity generally—by all who know Iho value ofo
fearless, well conducted newspaper press. Mr.
(iclz, of the House, pressed this bill with en
ergy and real. To his unceasing efforts, tpbre
than any other cause except the intrinsic mer
its of the bill, is the pres* indebted lor the
passage of the hill.

the Know-Nothings of these Stales could not

of the slavery question. The troolly-head par

Lotteries. A rough estimate, not much
exaggerated, judging from what wo know,puts
down the money sent away from Carlisle,
and surrounding country, of a few miles, at
81,000, during the past year, for which not
one ccnl lias been returned. If this is not suf
ficient to satisfy people with these infamous
humbugs, there is less sense predominating
than we give the public in general credit for at

Astonishing Tragedy in fyOrisiANA.—
When a woman Is wicked she is wicked, and

records that Mrs. Jodrigo of that ilk, having
behaved in an unseemly manner, was rebuked
by her husband, whereupon with the assist
ance of her paramour, she took him into tho
woods, and in spile of his prayers for mercy,
hung him by the neck until he was dead. This
Mrs. Rodrigo is about the strongest-miuded
woman of these strong times.

fling amendments. This Bill enlarges the free
list and effectually protects our importers and
the revenue from fraud. I think the people at
large have only to understand the provisions
of Senator J&mes’ Bill to approve them. The
Tariff needs remodelling to meet the require

ancy of his spirits has sunk wonderfully low,
bnd and bluster which marked his
early .performances on the political stage has
disappeared. The “Sam” of to-day is not the
“Sam” of last year. All have'been struck

They "arc not prepared to make an issut/ with
the Prestdenl orf that questiqn!” The publip
sentiment in behalf of tins measure is soslrong
that.vlt would be folly to do so ?’■ Let'these
admissions be bomo in mind.
There is another point in this article that
must not be ovcrlqokcd. ThP Georgia, Know-
Nothings are not satisflcd with Mr. Fillmore’s

commit themselves to his support in the com-
Ing'eleclfon, whether ho “will accept the nomi
nation on the 12th section of the Juno plat

one whifh dtfserves to be answered—-and that,
too, at an early day. But to the .article:
“ Thb Aubbican Statu Council —The '

“ ‘These were the resolutions actually pass- ■
cd after an animated discussion of the report of
the committee, and the striking out of a reso
lution indirectly endorsing tho nomination of
Fillmore and D/melson. Several gentlemen were
, anxious to do this; but we arc happy to say,
through the able efforts of Dr. M. A. Franklin,
of this city, and Jonathan Davis, Esq., of lx?c,
the-American party of Georgia have not been
blindly committed to the action of tho Phila
delphia Convention. Onr renders will recollect
that the platform of the Fi-lirunry Convention
expressly places tho American parly in oppo
sition to the course of President Pierce on the
subject of Kansas. Now. however much we
have been opposed to President Pierce, and to
some of tbo features of the bill, wo arc not pre
pared to make an issue with the President on
that question. It would be folly to do so.—
Besides, we do not know whether Mr. Fillmore
will accept the uominotion on the basis of the
twelfth section of the June platform, nml it
would be premature to ratify his nomination
unlihhis pbsitiob Is clearly ascertained. These
were the views taken by the gentlemen named,
and they are the views, we believe, of nine
tenths of the American party of Georgia.

gratulatory terms, offering him n welcome to the
city, whoso hospitalities ho was happy to be
empowered to offer. •
Mr. Buchanan replied briefly, expressing his
gratification at the distinguished honors paid
him by the authorities of this city, and his
happiness at seeing his native land and coun
trymen again.
Ue then entered in company with Alderman
Ely, a.barouche and four, which was in wnifltig,
and was driven to the Everett House, where ho
remains during his limited aojouin in this city.
The rest of the committee followed ip carri

The committee held a conference with him
at the Everett House, as to the manner in
which he wpuld prefer to ha entertained ns Ihe
cltio's guest. As ho Is obliged to leave the ci
ty Op Friday morning, ho felt obliged to de
cline the offer of a public dinner during his
stay In Now York; hut signified the gratifica
tion lie would experience, nt meeting ids tel
low citizens at suoti time and place os the Com
mittee should appoint.
Their arrangement* are not yet completed In
all thodatuils , but we are enabled to state that
Mr. Buchanan will receive the citizen- of Now
York, at,the Govcrnors’u room, in the City
Hall, to-morrow, from twovo to three o’clock.
'Ye understand that ha dines with the Mayor
privately to-morrow afternoon, and that in tho
evoiuga mignificont serenade by Dodworlh’s
full band, will bo given to him in front of the
Everett House.
In the course oftho morning. Mr. Buchanan
was waited upon by the Mayor, Alderman Bar
ker, President of the Board of Alderman, Sena
tor SHckels, his former Secretary of Legation,
and other citizens, all of whom ho received with
great licnrtness.
He has a strong desire to reach his homo by
Saturday evening, and to enjoy n quiet Sunday
on lus farm in Lancaster. After the public life
he has during the past throe years, the wish Is a
very natural one, and .wtp congratulate the ex
minister that lie can soon, escape the ovations
and demonstrations that are pouring In upon
him.
- Mr. BucHASAK*s reception In PBTriKmptitw-
Was on a munificent scale. He was made the
guest of the city, was serenaded at his quar
ters, «tc. On Saturday lie proceeded to Ins
home at Lancaster, and spent the Sabbath at
his own quiet ‘•'Wheatland.” The Ledger.
speaking of his stay in Philadelphia, and his
departure for Lancaster, says '
After the serenade on Friday night, hun
dreds of persons called at the Merchants' Ho
tel to see Air. Buchanan, and notwithstanding ;
the fatigues of the day. the distinguished ex-
Minister was not permitted to retire until some
time after midnight. F>arly on tSaturday morn
ing, many of his admirers and political friends
called on him. and up to the hour of leaving the
hotel for his home, near tancastcr, ho was be
sieged by persons of all parlies and conditions
in hfe. His reception in Philadelphia. and the
attentions paid him by its citizens during his
brief sojourn, were of tho wannest and most
gratifying charactqr, and we doubt whether
any man ever gathered oround him in this city
moit; sincere friends than did Mr. Buchanan
on the Decision referred to.
Uo was accompanied to the cars hy Joslah
Randall, and Kichard Yaux, tho, Democratic
candidate for Mayor. At the depot. Mr. Ran
dall, in a neat speech, handed the honored
guest over to the Committee from Lancaster,
numbering some thirty persons. This interest
ing ccreqiony having concluded, the crowd
rushed in. and*many enjoyed tho privilege of
taking Mr. Buchanan by the hand previous to
the departure of tho traip. In tho Twenty
fourth Ward, ho Was loudly cheered and called
bqt to make a speech, but before ho had time
to respond to the wishes of those assembled to
greet him, the train moved westward. At eve
ry station between Philadelphia and Lancaster,
tho same demonstration of welcome greeted
himj and in Lancaster city, as we learn by
telegraph, his reception was one of tho most
brilliant ever known in an inland city. Old
and young, rich and'poor, turned out to meet
their fellow townsman-and Welcome him home
after pn absence of three years in a foreign
land, engaged in the intricacies of diplomacy,
and that, 100, during a period of excitement
that caused many to fear a rupture between
