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

leading part as a Democrat in tbe politics of

and Madison in regard to our foreign policy.
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

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

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

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.

SUNDAY 8CH00L CELEBRATION IN
SHAMOKIN.
Mh. Epitoh :
Pursuant to public notice, a grand Sab
bath School celebration Came off' here on the
4th. Early in the morning tbe scholars aud
officers of the schools, aud a vast coucourse
of citizens were assembled ia front of the
Udd Fellows Hall. They were there mt by
tho bhamokiu Guards, commanded by Capl
Kasu; und our excellent brass Baud, under
their leader, Cupt. Mc Arthur.
Tho Kev. 1'. Bird and Copt. F. C. Clark
were appointed Chief Marshalls for tbe day.
After urranging everything getting the
teachers and children iu ranks and unfurling
our banners, we took up our "line of march."
Tho procession was lurge, there being over
three hundred children. I he military display
was highly creditable to the commaudiug
oQicer and the. Bond performed their part
admirably. 1 he banners were nomeruuB,
appropuale aud patriotic.
"Jong livo the name or w nshingtoa,
'God aud our nativo land," "we love our
institutions," "our Sabbath Schooln," "tbe
nurseries of piety," "independence forever,"
"in God wo trust, end "Liberty were to be
seen among tho number. The slurs and
stripes, freedom's standard sheet, floated
proudly over the military.
When we bad marched through several of
tbe streets, wo repaired to the grovo, where
very coinlorluule seuts bad been prepared tor
our rticeplion. 1 bere . were uow al least
six hundred persons on the ground. After a
prayer had been offered up by the Rev. Mr,
Tannyhill, the Hon. JOHN P. HKLFEN-
STEIN was unanimously chosen President,
Voon lani.g tbo chair be made a very
interesting aud appropriate, though brief
addresF.
He stated tbut when a child of one year
af age, be had been tuken by bis parents, iu
blladelpbia, to tbe first noniversarv of Ame-
rican independence. That he thanked the
giver of every blessing that be b-jd been per-
I united to celebrate bis eiqhty jirst with us.
His addreFg was listened to with much pleas

veteran.

W. W. Hays, D. N. Lake, Esq., J. Snyder
and W, 11. Churington were elected ice
Presidents ; J. F. Kennedy and Dr. J. J. John
Secretaries.
Tbe Declaration of Independence was then
read by Col. W. L. Scott, in a very able aud
satisfactory ninauer.
Tbe next thing in order, though not the
least in importance, was refreshments. The
ladies of Shamokiu certainly deserve a great
deal of credit for the liberality and taste
,,ieT manifested in preparing for tbe occasion.
Notwithstanding the great number of persons
present, there was i
superabundance ol every
thing, and all, too, gotten up in the very
neatest manner. After we bad all partaken
heartily of tbe bounties, tbe table was cleared
off and we took seats.
A very pleasing and patriotic address wet
delivered by ine lie v. ur, uonman, aner
wiacb Dr. Atwater was called to tbe staoa
lie entertained ut for some time with an
impromptu poem, delivered in bit usual
pleasant fiee and easy style. It was highly
appreciated and won for bim considerable
honor. Col. Scott then spoke. His address
was interesting and adapted to the occasion,
Tbe confectionaries being distributed among
tbe scholars, J. F. Kennedy was called out,
to which be responded in a brief address to
the Sabbath School scholars. The school
having sung a beautiful hymn, we prepared
to return to town.
The Band was again in readiness, anO,
While the weateat strains 0 mule
Were walled on the ta-eeae, -
we marched to tbe hall, where we disbanded
and returned to our respective homes, feeling
thankful to God for hit guidance and direc
tion through tbe past year, and invoking bit

were worked by the owners or agents. Af

reasons.
I. We think it is the most durable ma

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
