'TRADE, dr.c.—This him proved a most extraordinary season, and taking' alt the chances of the weather into consideration, we need not expect to see the Navigation open befent. the 10th or 15th of this month. U how ever, a sudden end extreme change should mite in the temperature, the opening might be delayed, some time longer. From all the information we can glean abroad. the prospects for business upon the opening of the Canal looks favorable; and as far as we can learn there.nrill be but little over supply, portico. holy if the protein wee'her should - condone; Ind the business will therefore commence under more favorable auspices. We' can coytatulate oar dealers upon the opening prospectlhey have of procuring good remunerating prices for their ma terial. It will only require a concert and unanim ity of action, op their part, to roakelhe trade of the coming season a profitable - and a prosper ous one; and sincerely do we hope,'for the sake of all depending upon the trade, that the proper means will not be witheld. We have written hitherto upon this subject, and we believe that every thinking collier in thidistriclcoineides with us in our views of the proper course to be pursu ed. Nothing then remains, but to carryout prac bcally the measures whch,all agree are the best —if this is done, we will never again be called upon to chronicle a disastrous and nprofitable trade. Taz WZATUSII ao•ts.—lt commenced snow ing here on Monday. morning, and continued fall• ing until about I I o'clock in the evening ; when, the temperature moderating, it changed into rain. and the next morning, ( Tuesday.) every thing locked ominous of a terrible flood.

Groat quantities of snow yet remain on our mountains; but as it has become hardened by the cold weather which succeeded the rain, we have no fear of a disastrous freshet. The water in the Schuylkill rose to considera ble height in consequence of the thaw. but not sufficiently so as to cause any damage. The Nor wegian Creek, was im,swollen in some places as to overflow the Rail Road. We have not beard of any injury , which this freshet has caused, and think it was esitirely.too slight to have effected any. List' Week 'was -.Court week," and a de lightful tinge mar i•iawyers, jurors, and witnesses had of it-wading nine miles through snow and water, saddle girth deep. On Tuesday end Wed neiday, it was', impossible to drive a vehicle .from this place tv Qrwigsburg; and the only methods of locomotion were on horseback or on foot. The rain on Tuesday morning bad swollen some of the small mountain streams 'which cross the road,' to such a height, that it was impossible to drive through, and ,many persona who started to Or arigsburg on that day were forced - lo return. The water eubsided.on Wednesday, and those whcise Urges were 611,1,and stout enough to Rounder through snow' and shaft were enabled to do so.

Such a law, being general in its character, would obviate the difficulty which renders the present law nugatory, and would check the progress of this illegal practice, which if suffered to increase, will be of immense loss and iatury to the comma- nity. • We have advocated Perseverance; maintained its ineineibiltry, and resolved to practice upon the rmixiir we havo inculcated to othcra.—Amer. icon Meciialtic. , The true - principle which mime you ano., etas, Brother Dealt ! if you wrep it well up in the coat .which uld father Job mole.

SUGGESTION.— , Now that the Legislature is making an effort to effect Retrenchment and E conomy in the public expenditures, and to devise Ways and Means to preserve the pledged faith of the state, and at the lame time to make the bur then of Taxation upon the People es light as pos sible, would it not be Well for members to consider er whether the expense of Collecting the 'Nits might not be avoided. We think it could be very readily accomplished, by pawing a law requiring taxables to pay their money directly into the County Treasury, indeed of having townsh;p Col lectors to call for it and receive s commission of 5 per cent. It seems 'perfectly clear to us that a system could - be arranged by which the taxes could be collected more promptly, than by the present method, at tr saving of 5 per cent. We shall not go into a detpil of our views, further than to say that wo would have taxable. furnished with notices of the amount:reassessed upon them respec tively. the lime when appeals would be held, and the day on which they would be required to make payment into 'the County Treasury-- Then after the 7 different periods appointed for ma king such paymeSte, suits, to be brought against delinquents the same 'a for any other debt.—No person to be allowed to vote who should not, if re quired. produce .'receipt for the payment of his tax for that year—or 'some proviton of this kind thot would secure payment from those who pay Nit trifling tales, andwhich is generally the most difficult to get. The Collector's commission upon our County and State the peat year. is but little abort of $2OOO. Wet commend the subject to the attention of Mr. &Arm& and all other members who are in favour of Reform and Econotny." The shelve suggestion we find in the lest . Chambersburg Whig," and we think it deserve. the attention of our Legislature. We would also recommend that in case the taxes are not paid at the time and place appointed, after notice is given, so as to require a collector to procure them, those who fail shalt be charged the amount of the cow mission annually paid to the collector ire addition to the taxes. The commissions paid to collectors, in this county, if saved, would nearly if not quite pay the interest on the county debt.
