The POTTER JOTJMAL A>U NEWS ITEM. COUDERSPORT, PA.. May 9. 1873. ".*5 EEL-TIME and harvest, summer and winter shall nut cease". Often this sea-on hav the word* been quotes! a* a comforting promise of the •pring-tirne that was so slow to come, the warmth that d<*- not corne yet in the usual degree. M e need all the assurances of the constant re currence of the accustomed changes, to keep us from the doubting, fearing mood that seiz-s us whenever there is a little delay. And we are assured most and best by the promises that have stood tons since the morning of time—but by all experience and' and observation by scientific research that has enlarged our field of vision and he!jK*d us to understand the workings of nature. All tends to ° make our faith ami trust more intel ligent. and vet happy are they who want nothing bat the Divine promise f>r their comfort and content. In some lands there is scarcity and famine because people have not learned to make provision for ex changing one product for another, but in the world th<*re is always plenty. Where there is scarcity of one product there is abundance of another and the need of constant exchange but makes our universal brotherhood more plain. Seed-time and harvest come to the earth bring ing constant supply for the suste nance of the people. THEY want a capitalist in Empo rium who will build from fifty to sev enty-trie small dwelling houses and six or eight stores. The Herald says they could be rented as fast a* built. Something of this kind would lie a benefit to ('ouders|ort. We want a co-operative building society. ■■ ♦ THE Beaver Radical has a corres pondent in I'hiladelphia named Eiz zie who writes about the best things in that paper. T THE late cold weather has been favorable to the making of maple su gar. At the usual sugar seasov the snow was so deep that people could not get about among the trees, so that almost a total failure was appre hended. Now that th< snow has nearly gone otT without sufficient warmth to swell the buds, sugar has been made and is offered at moderate priees. m A MONO the indications of a change of climate we begin to miss the little red hoods that used to go by every morning to school. Now, occasion ally, bright eyes and pleasant smiles gleam out from beneath a sun-bonnet. THE Monthly lie port of the De partment of Agriculture, for April, sent from Washington, contains a good de;d of interesting matter, and some that must be very valuable to merchants as well as husbandmen. The first article is on the u Condi tion of Winter Wheat," and gives reports of the growing crop from a great many separate counties all over the I'nion. Here is what it says of Pennsylvania : In runny of the counties of Penn sylvania the ground was yet covered with snow; an aggregate snow-fall of eight and a half feet is reported in W aync; in Llk snow was seven to eight feet deep in situations and there were drifts twelve feet deep. Very few reports indicate unfavorable con ditions, including t hose of A rnist rung and Westmoreland; in Indiana the plants were "thrown out" to some extent by frosts; and in Pulton the early sown fields were somew hat in jured by the fly. In Adams the pros pect is 44 bettor than for some years;" the crops "remarkably fresh and vig orous" in York; "condition sehionj better" in Pike; "very promising" in Cumberland; in Northumberland so luxurious in the autumn that it was pastured down; and favorable returns come from Wyoming, Leba non, Krie, Wayne, Lancaster, Lu zerne, Huntingdon, Mercer, Lehigh, Cameron, Chester, Lycoming, Tioga toid many other counties. Warren County, Pa The steady cold winter, with the ground almost, constantly covered with snow, has Iteen highly favorable to winter wheat. I have a piece of winter wheat that looks as well as any 1 ever saw at this time of the year. The ground produced a fair crop of hay in July, was plowed a I tout the 10th of August, manured on top af ter plowing and was sowed on the 21st of August. Ahout twelve loads of barnyard manure, made the previ ous winter, was used to an acre. Next comes an article on the 44 Con dition of Sheep and Cattle," one on " Diseases of Farm Animals," 44En toniologienl Record "and 44 Chemical Memoranda," which gives some ac count of the manner in which sub- -lances are analyzed, corn, for in stance. We extract "I.unar I..gbt upon Vegetation La nor light upon >:• 'jrtatvyn. —Mons. P. Cbarbonnier. in a communication to the .Journal d'Agriculture Parliqw. states that lunar light exerts a mate rial influence uj>on aquatic vegetation. This fact was first noticed from the increased growth of crypt ogam'.c veg etation upon the sides of an aquarium. It was observed that during the time of full moon it was much more luxu riant than during the time of the new moon. This led to other observations with regard to it and it was found that aquatic vegetation generally is affected in a similar manner. u The Market Price of Farm Pro duets'' in several of the largest cities closes the report. TIIE following article from the Sabbath Recorder v.e have to cut down for the JOURNAL leaving out the extract of the debate. The *]>e< ches on this bill, by Mr. Rey nolds and Mr. Brown, are able and eloquent. It must I>e they were not well listened to, or the vote would have been different. It is hard to see why any one should l>e held liable to punishment for obeying his conscience in any respect not ihjuri oua to the community, esjiecially at this time when the greatest want seems to be that of a conscience to obey. • . Below* will be found the action of the ure of Pennsylvania on the ie tifion of the Seventh-day Baptists for the passage of such an act as will relieve them from the unjust effects of the law of April 23d, 171#I. The proceedings of the House of Ifepres ntatives on the evening of April 1. I-.73, on this ques tion, as they come to us in the Harris burg I)'til;i Teht/raph, are as follows: Agreeably to order, the House re sumed the consideration of bills on the public calendar. An act to exempt persons) who relig iously observe the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath from the penalties of tlie act of April 2_M, lTfil, The above action is too vital to pass unnoticed, for it strikes at the founda tion oil whitth the su|ieiHtriicture of Hie American government rests. Religious tyranny in the Old World resulted in driving some of its choicest spirits from their homes, across the ocean to find a resting place from the pursuit of the relentless oppressor in the wilderness of the New World, where finally a national compact was formed, the corner stone of which had inscrilicd upon it, /WiV/w LOn-rty to nil . Every beating pulse of this new-born child among the nations was quickened and made strong by the inspirations of the spirit of liberty and equality. But this spirit alone .had'not nossession of this country, fur slav'rv and oppression were here, and by their artful management, subsidized the gov ernment, and so obtained its unnatural support. Hut thank Heaven slavery is t dead, though in its death it nearly cost the nation its life. And yet the strife is not ended, for although the slave is free and by law enjoys the rights of citi zenship and political equality, religious tyranny still lives and is fostered by law, notwithstanding the clear and righteous utterances of the organic law of the nation; and this tyranny finds support in the action of an overwhelm ing majority of the House of Itepresen ] tatives of the great Common wealth of Pennsylvania, April .'id, 1X73. And yet in that dignified and powerful body are found twenty-seven Representatives ! who have <jf* and heurlx and moral ( lurnistii. Let their names he enshrined in your loving hearts, friends of free dom. and teacb your children to utter j them with reverence and afLetion! | These men are strangers to us, but we ! this day inscribe their names upon the I pillar of fame, and write them upon the ! sacred roll where are recorded the names I of those w ho, loving the right, have dared to do it ! < )f the titty-six who have placed theni . selves upon the side of oppression and in justice, we will say but little, for with some of them at least we doubt not ; that want of light was their misfortune, ! and their want of light was a misfortune ( to those upon whom they have laid the I heavy hand of oppression. For some of | them we know not what apology to make, for those whoni they wrong are a part of their constituency; and how they can under such circumstances, be without guilt, either from prejudice or neglect, we cannot see. A man who accepts the res|Kinsibtlities of olHce, should seek to possess himself of the requisite qualifications for the honorable discharge of the trust committed to him. It Is a public calamity for a man to aceopt office and then fail of meeting his res|>onsibilities, either for want of intelligence or candor. That some of these men acted from imperfect knowledge is clear. Mr. Lane said, "The recognition of any other than the first day of the week would lie dan gerous, and tend to vice and crime," and this in the face of the fact that Sev enth-day jM'oplf form communities that rank with the very best in his state. There are none more virtuous and law abiding; and his imputation isa slander, having its origin in ignorance or preju dice. or something else equally discred itable to hiin as a legislator. Mr. Lane should inform himself concerning these persons whom he thus wrongs, both in his speech and legislative acts. "Mr. Klliot (Speaker) pronounced this the most iniquitous bill of the pres ent session, and wanted it voted down." J iSt why this was the most iniquitous bill of the session the Speaker did not say. so far as the report shows, but it is pertinent to inquire wherein the iniqui ty of the bill consists. It certainly was an imperfect one because it fell far be low the standard of right as it regards the wants of those in whose interest it was framed, but evidently this was not its fault m the mind of the speaker. He evidently would grind under his Seventh-day persons. The iniquity of the bill consisted in this, that to some extent it resjected t!ie civil and religious rights of th:> e lent people whose sin consists in this, tliat they, as believers in the Divine authenticity of the Scripture**, practice their evident teachijijg concerning the day of weekly rest. This they do at a sacrifice, at the b-st: but the "-Hateof Pennsylvania, as if from motives of spite. adds to their ni herwise h-avy bur den that of unjustly discriminating leg islation. A man wiio, in that state, olieys the four h commandment is re garded sis a vile {xnson, and must be stigmatized and punished as if they were a nuisance to IK- alxited.

"For the lir-t time in my life." says George Alfred Townsend in a letter to the Chicago Tribune, which was pub lished in Saturday's Jh.uocrut, "I met and s!iook hands with Senator Morton yesterday," and ho then proceeds with an eloquent column which is a practical confession that for five years lie hasleen writing about the Hidiaiia Senator from the standpoint of a mistaken estimate, and that in consequence he has done great injustice to his qualities of head and heart, representing him as, in all respects, a lal man. Whereas a brief jiersonal contact hat! brought him to a cuneiusioii quite tiie reverse. This re- mi is us of Charles Lamb's famous re tort: "I hate that man,"said Lain'ouii one occasion, shaking of a person re ferred to in conversation. " But you don't know him." said a friend. " Xo. I don't." said Lamb, "and that's the reason 1 hate him." There is not in all the essays of Klia as great a truth as well expressed as is contained in these few words, and the wonder is that he who could discourse so well on t!i" most trivial subjects <1 id not suggest to him self an essay from his own text, and give us a few brilliant pages on Igno rance as the Mother of Hatred. In the presence of what might truthfully he said 011 this subject, its antipodal pro verb, that familiarity breeds contempt, would soon fall to pieces. What Mr. Townsei d so gracefully admits, and what Charles Lamb so forcibly empha sizes is proved every day in the public life of America. —Missouri Democrat. So it is, equally, in private life. We see something in people that is uupleasing—perhaps very objeetional —and sutter ourselves to feel a dislike that we perhaps take back with sor row anil shame on a further acquain- tance; or. if further acquaintance is not reached, which we cherish to the injury of the individual and the much greater injury to ourselves. We know, theoretically, that there is good in everybody. Happy arc we when we learn this practically and look for it with lull faith in even the most unpromising places. ears ago the pathological discov ery was published that feelings of dislike, of contempt, soured not only the temper but the stomach. So that by the mysterious connection of the spiritual and physical natures of men, dyspepsia and kindred diseases were the result of disagreeable surround- ings. But the better understanding of the mixed human life would always show us a better, generally an admi rable, side to every character, and relieve us from much that we allow ourselves to suffer. It is not so much that people are blind to the fanlts of those who are very near to them, as that they see their virtues as others would see them if they had tin' same opportunities. In the common neighborly inter course in chance meetings when tra veling, above all in the "common re port" so frequently charged with evil speaking, let tis accustom to look for the other side of the un pleasant character and l'eel assured that, as Churl s Lamb said, if we hate any one it is because we do not know him. Inauguration Ceremonies of tho World's Fair at Vienna. V I EN NA. May 1. —The exhibition was inaugurated to-day by the Emperor of Austria in presence of members of the Imperial family, royal and illustrious guests and State and civic dignitaries. The weather was unfavorable, but the crowds from all parts of the world who ] witn- *sed t!ie imposing ceremonies were immense. filling the rotunda and trau :*-pts of ike building and portions of the grounds surrounding it.

It is the •mbodiin nt of your motto, "Power and respect conic from union," which is strength. We therefore layout efforts it the foot of the throne." The Prince was followed by Dr. Fol der, the Burgomaster of Vienna, who •xpressed the gratitude of the jieople of the capital to his Majesty and added: "Under your government Vienna has !

'Gixl protect your Majesty,' ' Long live the Kmperor."' The cry was taken up l>y thousands of voices and re-echoed from nil parts of the building. The ceremonies closed i with the chorus "See the Conquering Hero Comes," sung by united musical societies and a chorus of the eitv. The IhniH'ior and Empress, followed by the i distinguished personages, then traversed the western and eastern wings of the jjvxhibition building, being received | everywhere with thunders of applause.

The Unkm as good assays that some times a white man "shoots an unoffend ing Indian down in sport and wanton ness and merely to try the range of his rifle," and thinks the slaughter of the whole trilie of Modocs. men. women and children, would be a disgrace to the army.
