Farmer's Clubs.— We notice in some of our exchanges that'the farmers in various portions of our country seem to be sensible of the impor tance of meetings for the purpose of advising and comparing notes with one another in regard to their agricultural • doings and Farmer’s clubs are now organized in many parts of the country, and at their meetings dis; courses are given on such subjects of husband ry as may seem deserving of special discussion, while at the same lime a free and unrestrained ■conversation is encouraged upon all matters which may casually have been referred to du ring their debates. long.

The New York Democracy.— The indica tions in our sister State are that the Democratic party will play the part of the lion and the bear in the fable, while the cunning fox of Republi canism will steal away the prize of-victory at the November election. A few weeks ago the prospects for a great. Democratic triumph in New'York Were peculiarly bright and cheering. The Opposition had divided into, three (actions-, and three, tickets were placed in the field by them, while the Democratic party was united 1 and harmonious. But somehow or, other the faceot things seems rapidly changing. The Republicans and Americans are uniting on can didates for Congress, while the Democrats are quarreling and dividing.

The Pennsylvania Canal. —Wo learn from a reliable source that the Pennsylvania Company intend placing their portion of the late State canals in complete repair by next I spring, and will hereafter aim to facilitate nav igation to the best of their ability. The profi table business d'one-on this branch of their im provements during the present year, has encour aged them to offer strong inducements to boat men, and with this view, they have concluded to transfer all their heaviest freight from the railroad to the canal. The entire Main Line is to be deepened,for the passage of the largest sized boats, and we have good reason to predict. from what has been stated to us, that the canal business next year will be unusually lively. Wno does He belong to I—The Press claims Major Schwartz,, who was recently elec ted to Congress in Berks county, ns an Ami- Lecompton Democrat, and he is generally so classed. But a correspondent in Reading lately writes him down ns a “ People’s man :”or, in other words, a Republican. Now, the question is, who does bo belong to ? Will some of our Berks county friends enlighten the public, so that ho can be properly classified ? Preaching vs. Practice, The late election, bitter as it was contested, was productive of some amusing scenes and incidenlswhith served to keep up the good hu mor of the opposing parties; and ns wo Demo crats of this State have very little to crow over. We may as well have sortie of these incidents to laugh at —here goes for “one.of them.’’ ' In one of the interior counties, a Republican meeting was called at a tavern kept by an hon est member of that political’fraternity. This modern Boniface prided himself upon the skill he possessed in manufacturing “apple-jack,” and the highest compliment that Could be paid him by his guests was the free' imbibition of his home manufactured exhilirator. Besides, his profits on the article were great, because he realized all above the firet cost in his own per son-r-lhere being noyfntermcdiate dealers to “lake oft the cream.” The leaders of the Re publicans thronged the tavern on the day of the meeting, and talked loudly about “protecting home industry” and persistently drank whis key', and would hot touch the apple-jack. At last the patience of the landlord was exhausted, and with true indignation he exclaimed: •T tell you what, I don’t like all this talk about ‘encouraging home manufactures,’ be cause it’s a miserable cheat. - Now, here these men have been preaching this doctrine all day', yet d—h the bit of apple-jack have they drank, but they, have filled themselves with corn whiskey, imported all the way from Ohio.” It is useless to add thatlheßepublican professions about protection produced but little effect in that locality; What an Old Line Wdig Says.—Theven erablo Deacon Broughton, editor of that well known Old Line Whig paper; the Norfolk Her ald, alludes U>The result of the late elections, and then adds : “The question is, whether that issue [Le compton] may not die out before the. next two years come round, and Democracy, as it has heretofore done, become again in the ascendant, ■just in time lo- reap the- ‘spoils.’ . In former years the Whigs could sweep these States at the end of the first-two years of the Presiden*. tial terms, when there was nothing to be,gam ed.: but it generally ■ happened that when it came to the ‘second heat,’—the division of the spoils—the Democrats were sure to be ahead. If there is to be any organized and formidable ' opposition to the Democratic party inlB6o.thiS : had belter be borne in mind.” The Recent Law op Libel Unconstitu tional. —:Tii the case of Commonwealth vs. the. editors of the Workingmen's Advocate, pub lished. we believe, in Schuylkill county, the Court held that the law of libel of 1856 is un constitutional, inasmuch as no law can contra vene or transcend the Constitution of.the State. The Bill of Bights, which is part of the Con stitution, fixes the liberty of the press, and de clares in what cases the truth may be given in evidence, thereby prohibiting it in all other ca ses. But the law of 1856 goes further, and al lows it to bo given in evidence in all cases. It is an alteration of the,Bill of Rights, and there fore to that , extent unconstitutional.” The case is reported in the ‘lnsurance Intelligencer’ forSspt., 1858, No. 10, vol. 2d, published by; Orrin Rogers. - .

In the’ I case alluded to, the defendant, like many other scoundrels who fail to get their deserts, had de serted his wife and played bachelor lover, to a German girl. Failing to marry, according to promise, she sued him, and.he had the coward ly meanness to crawl off by saying that as_he had ai wile already his promise was an empty lie. The jury thought otherwise, and gave 85:000 damages.

The com mon sorts need not surely cost more than six cents per pound, so that every family not absp-. lutcly suffering from want might have a pound or two on theirdinner table.

In ail large cities the business of fortune tolling is carried on,extensively and profitably. Notwith standing the progress of education, there are thousands ol persons who have faith in the power to divine future by the magic shuffle of a pack Of cards. Hence, lor every mishap in life the fortune toller is consulted, and that prophet, understanding business, takes care always .to predict enough of good fortune to make the ill palatable. It would naturally bo expected that those who can sop so clearly into the future as to know what is to happen to" other people, would* be'ablq to see some of the misfortunes which are to happen to themselves, and would not be caught by an unexpected visit pi the po- lice in the midst of their professional practices. But if people reasoned correctly, credulity would not prove so profitable to sharpers, for the, pro per cxetoiso ot the ordinary common sense which is supposed’to fail to the lot of each indiviual would give as great a gift of prescience without the cards as the fortune teller, possesses with pAtended’spells and incantations. Suicide near Cleveland.—A bonnet and shawl were found on Monday, on the banks of the canal, near Cleveland, supposed to belong to a young woman, who, it is believed, committed suicide by drowning herself in the canal. To the shawl was pinned a letter, written in pen cii, addressed to “Mrs. Maria Johnston, Te cumseh, Mich.” In this letter the writer, who signs herself Eliza Williams, addresses her sis ter, slating that she fled from home about a year since at the solicitation of a young man, who represented himself as a travelling dentist from Detroit] and with whom she fell in love! She came to this city, where he took her to a house of ill-fame, accomplished her ruin and then left her. She went to Jgufialo and spent thb winter, leading an abandoned life. In the spring she went to Cleveland, and soon after engaged as a cook on a canal boat, where she. was brutally used by the men. Driven to de spair, she resolved to end her life. X his is the substance of the letter, and there is little doubt that it is genuine, and that “one more unfortu nate”-has “gone to her death.” Velocity of the Wind.— When the wind movesat the rate of one mile an hour, it is hard ly perceptible, at two miles an hour it fans us as the gentle zephyr, and at six it becomes a gen tle zephyr.'
