Not only kit no longer allowed to sell slaVes in Egypt, but all those in the hands of priVate individuals were in formed that ,they ,were free. The condition of the farmers of Sus queharina'Op unty has greatly improved with in a few years past. The'soil they cultivate, though' not the richest, is , naturally good,being I. unsurpassed for grazing• and dairy purposes, and Producing fair i crops of grain. 'Their but ter and 'cheese takt premiums at our State Fairs, and are becoming knewn and prized in the cities. TII4 railroads aford -thorn fa cilities for reaching market, greatly superior to_those they fornierly gpssessed. And with gocCde crops, high prices and a convenient cash market, no wonder almost every farm shows more or lesssigns of recent Improve ments. The field, are better cultivated and fenced, the dwellings improved in appearance and surroundings, aid the barns' and other farm buildings increased in numbers and con venience. When we add that they, for the most part, provide good schools for their children4which are found more on r lesS, on most farms,) and take and read the' Independent Republican, outiiiiders will readily believe that our lot is cast amid a prosperous and intelligent com munity. ' If there c are any—as-we incline to `believe there arej—w.ho, with' means •suffie ient, have neglected either to provide pleas ant and comfortable homes, surrounded with trees and shrubbery, for their families o r barns and sheds for sheltering their stock,. with water alway4easily accessible—or good school houses, school books, and teachers for their children-or the REPUBLICAN and one, or' more good' city papers for the'amuse ment and improvement of the family circle, we would suggestithat delays are dangerous, and the mistake should be remedied as soon as possible. '.- or When Henry M. Fuller was elected Representative of the Luzerne District over that prince of d'Oughfaces;4,H. B. Wright, we supposed he was elected as an anti-Nebraska man. - He certainly has hadlthe reputation of being an opponent ofslaveryLe, :tension, here tofore, although before Coneess assembled we heard it intimated that h i e -would prove false to Free. Soil principlek His course while the House has been trynig to effect an organization, has destroyed all our confidence in him as a Free Sailer. Prompt action is nor required of the House, and for that, IM mediate organization is necessa4. Mr. Ful.' 1 ler in_ our opinion has it in , his !power to elect 1 Banks Speaker whenever he Ifhooses. But instead of doing this his duty, is we conceive, I • I to - his constituents and his oven professions, be is found actin in concert w`th the South; ern Know Notlungs, men 1,,. would vote for Richardson sooner thA: or Banks, and some of whom' a4nally did vote for Richard-, •, - son before voting for Fuller. i ,Nobody be lieves that these South Ameri6ens would ev ,er vote for a Speaker whom thei'deemed in imical to the.

The infer ence, in the easel of Mr. F ller, is plain.— We are very 'sorry, for his defection nfoir when the North 4eds.all-her.strength. 11isTeses.—doinplaints stud remonstran tee sometime reth us because of errors that appear. in our, co lumns . • That such errors occur ""' tie true j'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis tree."

Perhaps our sight is . getting dimor -our fawilties benumbed. re i from age or ov rwork. Perhaps the com positor, in cor , ting the type, again inserts the wrong letter, or puts -it in the wrong place, and thus makes " confusion worse con; founded." At ` ll events, from some cause , or other, the raiStakes are there too often.— ' Thus a torrespoedent writes us that he sent to the two Monirme papers a notice in which occurred the mine of Mr. Bnck, and one pa per made it Beech and the other Birch, and he thinks a third would have made it Maple, or some other Wood. ... • But let us re' wither that the world is, as it were, one gre t proofsheet, on which we • all are or Ghoul , be, trying to detect and cor t. meet the errors of our liyes; but we all fail, more or less, sd that even the most careful and suonmsful fini a few errors to be correct ed before the work is pronOunced perfect by the Great Proof Reader above, who alone --is not liable to lerr. • Imp".
