WILLIAM L. MARCY. There could not bave been a more solemn and imoressive event connected with the -fciffhtv.first anniversary of American Inde- pendence than the suddeu decease of William L. Marcv. It bas been recorded as a rortu note incident that three of the ercat men of the early days of the Republic should have breathed their last on tnai eaerea oay, ana the death of Mr. Marcy will servo to identify him with the ereat event that the whole nation was rejoicing over at the time he ex pired. That the people of all parties will rriove over the departure of this emiueut man cannot be doubted ; for he was indispu- bly the most able and the most distinguished member of tbe dominant party of the United States. William Lamed Marcy was born at Stnr bridee, Worcester county, Massachusetts, December 12tb, 17SC. He was educated liberally, graduating at Brown University, Providence, It. I., in the year 1808. lie studied for tbe bar and was admitted to prac tice at Trov.

Durinc tbe war with Great Britain be served as a voluutecr in tbe military defence of the State. He was appointed Recorder of tbe city of Troy in the year 1816, but was re moved by Gov. De Witt Clinton, in 1818, uwing to bis siding with Mr. Van Buren iu opposition to bis administration. On the success of the anti-Clintouian party, Gov, Yates rewarded Mr. Marcy by appointing bim, In the year YbZ, to the ollice or Aiiju tant General ol the blato, and be then re moved to Albany. He was one of tbe eurli est and most important members of tbe fa'nous "Albany Regency," which coLt o led for a lone time tho movements of the Dem ocratic party in the State, and exercised miirhtv influence in tbe politics of the ftatiou. In 1823 he was appointed State Comptroller, and in 1829 one of the Associate Justices of tbe Supreme Court. Tbe latter cilice he resigned in 1S31, when he was elec. ted United States Senator. He resigned his place in tbe Senate in 1832, having beD elected Governor of the btato. He was re elected Governor in 1831 aud 1836, but in 1838, when be was nominated for a fourth time, be was defeated by Hon.

C2"Tbe Fourth of July was celebrated at this place, as nsoal of late years, by the different S'tbbatb schools in the shady groves near town. The day was fine and the weather pleasant. C"Tbe weather seems to have become settled at last, and there is a prospect of securing the hay crops in good order. The river has fallen rapidly. It will bo seen by the advertisement of II. Y. Fbilinq, Esq., that he keeps regular ly on band, for sale at the store of Friliko k Grant, a variety of papers and magazines, C3T Chakoe of Time. The cars for Slia. mokin and Mt. Carinel now leave this place at 81 o'clock, A. M., an hour later than before. The change took place on Wednss day last 3"Tok Crops. Although the weevil has severely injured the wheat crop fu this neigh borhood, and in some of the adjoining conn- ties, still, we bave reason to believe that the injury is not as serious nor as extensive aB some imagine. If oven the crop of the whole State was a fuilnre, it would bave no great effect npon the supply or the price in the city markets. In some of the States the crops are lnrger and heavier than nsual. On an average, we bave no doubt, the crop of this year is fully equal to that oi last. We anticipate no such high prices as are talked of by some who imagine that a few couuties, or even the whole State, can materially affect prices. W e have no doubt that before the close of the year, wheat will be selling again at $1,50 per bushel. IJ3 Tiik Nkw Stkam Flocriko Mill, which Messrs. Snyder k Harrison are erecting in this place, will be put into operation next month. Tbe building is a substantial brick structure. Tbe stack or chimney is forty-four feet high, and built in the most approved style. Mr. Campbell, the saill-wright, is making a good job. Tho mill, if properly conducted, will be a profitable investment as well as a great con venience. The builders are mechanics of limited means, who deserve every encourage ment in undertaking an enterprise that reflects great credit on their perseverance and indus try. Improvements. Mr. E. Y. Bright has greatly improved the front of bis store by a heavy cornice above tbe first story, and a range of paDel work on the roof, in front. Frederick Lazarus, Esq., we observe is taking out the front of his dwelling, and making extensive repairs. Sheriff Weise, who purchased the "Law- renco House," intends raising tbe front ano ther story, and erect new back buildings, including a dining room forty feet deep. Tbe property is a good one and has fallen into good bands. The Sheriff has always been one ot the most enterprising men in our Borough. Shoria Covert aUo contemplates adding an additional story to his Hotel, with wings on either side. These improvements would add greatly to oar Hotel accommoda tions. ttsr ine death or lion. w. h. Marcy is noticed everywhere with profound reeret. His abilities as a diplomatist, and bis admin Islrative talent were, perhaps, superior to any living statesman in the Union or else where. His great abilities were only bceiu ning to be properly appreciated, when death suddenly summoned him to a higher tribunal. His famous letter to Chevalier Hulsemun iu the affair of Martin Koszta, and his letter to ine i eace touierence at fans, ure monu ments of his comprehensive ability. 94 jibtiSEYs itBAFERs. we refer our readera to the advertisement of Geddes.

Af ter seeing tbe operation of the three ma chines, we give our preference to the II us. sey Reuper aod Mower, for tbe following reasons. I. We think it is the most durable ma chine. 2. It costs less than the Manny's and the Ketchum'e. 3. It is very simple in its construction and not liable to get out of order. 4. It is manufactured in this section or ibe country. And we would say to our neighbors, thai if you want a good, durable and reliable Kee per and Mower, get oue of the Uussey's Im proved Muchities- Wm. Yorks, O W Rishel.
