W Wcitkcttcn, of Bethlehem, will preach in the Lutheran Church, cervices at iu .a. iu. and 7i P. 31. TIc Sew Currency Bill. The new currency hill which passed both houses of Congress on the eve of its adjourn ment, and at once received the signature of the President, though not exactly what cither the latter or the great mass of the people de sired, is a step in the rightdirection, and will tend to prepare the country for a resumption of spe cie payments at no very distant day. By its provisions the ultra inflationists are curbed in their rejoicings and the evils which their full des-ire would inflict upon our monetary affairs, and at the same time the radicals in the oppo site direction are prevented from rushing the change in our financial policy to a too sudden crisis. It is a mean between the two extremes and, hence, a safer ground to stand upon than either a compromise which after due reflec tion appears to give very general satisfaction. r,y its provisions the amount of paper nion cv to be kept in circulation is limited to $3S0,-00-',000. It cannot exceed this sum, though as business settles to a permanent and more legit imate basis than it has heretofore occupied, there is nothing in the law to prevent its set tling below that figure, and it is but reasona ble to sui'pose, from its already published pol icy, that the administration will avail itself of the earliest opportunity to secure that reduc tion. Such a course would best meet the views of the country, and as we have before said it i- hut reasonable to suppose that Gen. Grant will pursue it. The law, also, is designed to operate a relief t the bank, as one of its provisions eases upon the reserves which they were required to keep on hand against circulation and deposit. The bill provides that no reserve whatever need be kept against circulation, and it also provides that the five per cent which it requires to be kept at the Treasury shall be counted as part of the reserve against deposits. Under the late law it was required that country banks Miouid keep a reserve of fifteen per cent on each its circulation and deposit, and city banks a rocrve of twenty-five per cent. Thus, if a country bank had $100,000 of circulation and 100,000 on deposit it was required to main tain at the Treasury and in its own vaults the i '.vre sum of $30,000 lying idle, and the City W.ks $50,000 in the same predicament. Un der the new law there will be the reserve :iiT;u:ut deposits only, which shall be, as before fiueen per cent to wit. $3,000 in the Treasury ud $10,000 on hand for the country banks, a;ul $ ,000 in the Treasury and $20,000 on band for the citv bants. The relief to the banks from this change must be apparent at once, and that it is afforded at no new risk to note holders and depositors is settled by the f.ict that none of the other safe guards in these resoeebi heretofore found ample, have been set aside. Eeside this three fifths of the said re serve may consist of balances due to an associa tion available for the redemption of its circu ldtin" notes from associations approved by the Comptroller of the currency, organized under the law, in what are now known as redemption cities. The bill further provides for a greater equal ization of the currency throughout the coun try, bv taking from the Eastern banks their overj'ius of circulation, and giving it to the "Western and Northwestern banks which arc short of their fair proportion of the currency "allowed. It does not attempt to force this equalization before the "Western people are iirenared to receive it, but only as fast as banks p.n organized and prepared to claim circula tion. That the Eastern banks may not be drained too rapidly the law permits of the w ithdrawal of but $30,000,000 during the com ing year. But as there is no time set at which J this sum may be called for, it is Fettled that a j requisition upon an Eastern bank for its share of this $30,000,000 must be met within thirty days. Thus all the banks in the States having more than their fair proportion of circulation re compelled to keep on hand, or loaned on short time, each its share of the $30,000,000, and keep it waiting a year for a requisition whic h may fall upon it at any moment. After the first year each bank must be prepared to meet its proportion of the $30,000,000 of over plus at any time after thirty days notice. Taking it in all its provisions the bill is re markably fair and moderate, much more so than there was any reason to expect from Con gress at the outset of the session. We do not think that the President acted unwisely in signing it. Something was required to be done for the relief of the country, and as this was the bert that could be obtained, we think the President acted wisely in accepting it. The effect of its working will doubtless prove beneficial. Jte? Our' neighbor of the Democrat de rives imrucn.se consolation from the idea that the Democratic party still gives indication ol lingering vitality. In his last issue he in stances a number of States that have shewn leadings that way, aud from this pampers his .readers with the notion that the skies look bright, and that the day in which the it-eat conglomeration of treason Swartwout ism and swindling generally can again take hold of the public tit of .which they have so long been deprived. Experience as a teach er is not successful with our stubborn neigh bor. A retrospect of the last fifteen or eigh teen years would have satisfied him that the events of the present elective season are but history repeating itself that the results in the Republican States which have so cheered hini are but the results of a pastime, in which the Republican party has been pleased to indulge during that time, of galvanizing so much life into the dilapidated body of Democracy as will enable it to stand up long enough to be knocked down when the proper time arrives. That proper time, as hereto fore, will come with the next Presidential election, when there will be such shaking of the dry bones as Democracy never expenen cod before. Even though Cassarisui be the rule, and Gen. Grant be the nominee for the third time, this is sure to be the result W e do not begrudge our neighbor the rapsodyof his feeling, but we would advise him to not too long delay the "tapering off" or the de- noumcnt may prove more than even he can bear. JDST We find the following in the Milford Correspondent of the Wayne County Herald of last week. If Gen. Burnett has consented to be a candidate we do not see that the Democracy of the 22d Judicial District can do better that elect him.

Frankfort, besides hundreds of lives one jn coops, lhe roost is in the vicinity o Crystal Lake, a few miles from Frankfor in a forest of beech trees, the pigeons seek ing this place because of the beech-nuts, which they feed upon,- This flock, pre vious to roosting here, stayed in Oceana county some ten days or more, and there afforded work and amusement to several hundred men, and thousand of pigeons, dead and alive, were sent to various sec tions of the country from that point. There are men among the pigeon catchers who have followed this flock from Arkansas and Missouri, and who make pigeon-catching a business, being supplied with nets and all paraphernalia necessary to entrap and catch birds. They get track ' of a flock of pigeons early in the Spring in thc South, and, being acquainted with their habits, are able to follow them the whole year. They generally find men at every place ready to buy their pigeons, and pay the cash for them, the price being from $1.50 per dozen. The pigeon-catchers thought this flock, when they left their roost at Frankfort, would start for the Lake Super ior country, thence into V isconsin, and thence west. Some of the party were fet ting ready, when Mr. Witwood left Frank fort, to start for Mackinaw by boat to keen cm the track of the pigeons, as they gave indications of being about to take their de parture.
