The Lutheran Sunday School of this place, held a pic uic yesterday. It is one of the largest Sunday Schools in the State. Rev. DeMoter delivered an excellent Tempe rance Sermon in the M. K.

As there was not sufficient fibre to hold it together, and being strong enough, it took to running around on the track, compelling the amicable baggage master at the depot to resort to stilts to pat the baggage into the cars. A bot about twelve years of age, named Mar quldt,of Sbamokin, lost bis leg in attempting to j amp on a freight train at the Weigh Scales. This is another warning to boys who are in the habit of jumping on trains while in motion. No Assessment. Jacob Shipman, Esq., agent for the Lycoming Fire Insurance Company.show ed us a letter from the officers of that company, staling that no extra assessment would be levied to pay the losses of the late fire in Chicago. The company ha sustained a loss of about thirty thonsand dollars, which they are prepared to pay without an extra assessment. The com crop in this vicinity never looked more promising than it does this season. By present appearance tbe crop will be more than an average one. Jciisox Weaver, of this place, firemau on the D.

As the peach season approaches the estimates of the brobable sice of the crop become wore immediately Interesting. The latest estimate by the railroad companies is thnt about 800,000 baskets will be shipped from Delaware. The Peach Growers' Association, possibly with a view of affecting prices, placed their estimate at 550,000 baskets. Tbe correct estimate is probably betwen the two just given Are Toe Registered t Every voter must he registered sixty days before tbe election.

The Locust Gap Cornet Band we learn is im proving rapidly, and will soon rank among tbe best in the coal region. The material fr a first class band at that placs Is of tbe best. A mili tary company, under the command of Capt. John - M'EUece, at that place, has a wide reputation for their good drill and discipline. Many of the mem bers being old veterans and with a good band of music, the citizens of Locust Gap may well feel great pride in their organizations. Only eighteen Democratic candidates for Sheriff have been beard from in this county. Hot as the next Sheriff will not be elected until in 1875, and several townships have not been heard from, a few more may be expected.

The one hundredth anniversary of Dr. Joseph Priestley's brilliant discovery of Oxygen, will be celebrated at Northumberland en Saturday the 1st of Au trust, when a re-nuion of American Chemists will take place for mutual exchange of ideus and observation. The meeting of so large a body of distinguished men In our neighboring town, will be e.u important event, and the occasion long to be remembered. - The name of Priestly has been remembered in this vicinity from the timo of its earliest scttlcre. The family connection arc not as large as might be supposed, as but few of that name arc living, two great grand sons, Dr. Jos. Priestley, and Marks B. Priestly, atd two great grand daughters, ladies highly esteemed and re spected wherever known. Joseph K. Priestley, a gruud sou of Dr. Jos. Priestley, whose name is to be commemorated on this ocensiou by some of the most eminent men in America ii. the sci eucc of Chemistry, acted for many years as Cash ier of the Bauk of Northumberland, whicb,uud(r his able management, aud through his integrity and business habits, gained a reputatian equal to any other bauk in the Uuitcd States. He died suddenly at Reading, Pa., about fifteen years ago. Dr. Joseph Priestley, at whose tomb the cen teunial of Chemistry will be celebrated, was born at Ficldhead, near Leeds, England. O. S. Cham bers Encyclopaedia, speaks of. his early career as follows : '"Priesti.et, Joseph, son of Jonas Priestley, a cloth-draper at Fieldbcad, near Leeds, was born at Ficldhead on 13th March, 1733, 0.S. Ilis mo ther having died when he was six years old, he was adopted by an aunt, by wnom he was sent to a free school. There he learned Latin und Greek. During vacation, he taught himself va rious languages, both ancient and modern. For some time lie was obliged to abandou his stu dies, owing to weak health : be then betook him self to mercantile pursuits. With returning strength, his literary studies were resumed, and successfully prosecuted at a dissenting academy at Daveutry under Mr. (afterwards Dr.) Ash- worth, successor to Dr. Doddridge. Though his father and aunt were strong Calviuists, their house was the resort of many men who held very different opinions ; and the theological discus sions which he was ic tbe habit of hearing, seem to have had uinch effect on young P. : before he was 1H, be calls himself rather a believer in the doctrines of Anniuius, but adds : I had by no means rejected the doctrine of the 1 runty or that of tbe Atonement.' Before leaving borne, be wished to join a Caivanistic communion, but be was refused admission, tbe ground of refusal being, that he had stated doubts as to the liabi litv of the whole human race to tbe 'wrath of God and pains of bell for ever.' During his re sidence at the academy, be conceived himself called on to renounce nearly all the theological aud metaphysical opinions of his youth. I came,' belays. to embrace what Is called the heterodox side of every question.' In 1755, he became minister to a small congregation at Need- bam Maikel, m Suffolk, with an average salary of 30 per annum. While here he composed bis work entitled Scripture Doelnnt of JCcnustxon, rhich uhatct that tin Dtath of Christ i no proper Sacnjlce nor Satisfaction Jor Sin. liis leading theological doctiine seems to have been, that the Bible is indeed a divine revelation, made from God to man through Christ, himself a man aud no more, nor claiming to be more. He seems to have rejected all theological dogmas which ap peared to him to rest solely upou the interpreta tion put upon certain passages of the Bible by ecclesiastical authority. Even the fundamental doctrines of the Trinity and of the Atonement he did not consider as warrautcd by Scripture, when read by the light of his own heart aud un derstanding. It does not, however, appear that these doctrinal errors produced any morally evil results. He not only contrived to live ou .30 a year; but by adding a little to his income by nieans of teaching, hs was enabled to purchase a variety of instruments to help him iu his scien- fic studies. In 17oS, he quitted Ncedham for Nantwieh ; and in 1701 he removed to Warring ton, where he was appointed successor to Mr. (afterwards Dr.) Aikin, as teacher of lauguages and. belles-lettres. At Warrington, he married Miss Wilkinson, a lady of great talent and aini nfcility. Here his literary career may be said first fairly to have begun. A visit to London led to his making tbe acquaintance of Franklin and of Dr. Price. Jbe former supplied him with book which enabled him to write his fittory and State of Electricity, published in 1707. It was followed by a work on Vinion. Light and Colour. In 1762, he published his Theory of Language and Vnirertal Grammar. Ia K06, he was made a member of the Royal Society, and a Doctor of Laws by tbe unirersity of Edinburgh. In the following year, he removed to Miilhill, near Leeds, where be was appointed minister of a dis senting chapel. rc fact of a brewery being be ing betide his dwelling gave a new direction to bis energetic and versatile mind ; he began to stndy pneumatic chemistry, publishing various important works connected with this science. No oue,' says Dr. Thomson, 'ever entered on the study of chemistry with more disadvantages than Dr. Priestley, and yet few have ocenpied a more dignified station iu It.' While at Leeds, he agreed to accompany Captain Cook on his se-, eond voyage; but certain ecclesiastics having ob jected to the latitude of his theological views, the Board of Longltnde refused to sanction the ar rangement, and be did not go. In 1773, he w as appointed librarian and literary companion to Lord Shelburn, with a salary of 250 per annum, and a separate residence. He accompanied the earl on a continental tour in the year 1774. Hav ing been told by certain Parisian savans that he was tbe only man tbey bad ever known, or any understanding, who believed in Christianity, be wrote, in reply, the Letttrt to a Philotophical I Tn- I believer, and various other works, containing cri ticisms on tbe doctrines ofUnineand others. His public position was rather a hard one ; for while laughed atln Paris as a believer, nt home he was branded as an atheist. To escape the odium arising from the latter impntation, he published, in 1777, his Divpttiition Relating to Matter atid Spirit. In this work, while he partly material ises spirit, he at tbe same time partly spiritual- J iscs matter. He holds, however, that our hopes of resnnection must rest solely on the truth of the Christian revelation, aud that on science they have no foundation whatever. Tbe doctrines of Revelatiou and a Resurrection appear with him to have supported one another. He believ ed in a Revelation, because it declared a Resur rection ; and be believed In a Resurrection, be cause he found it declared in the Revelatiou. On leaving Lord Shelbnm, he' became minister of a dissenting chapel at Birmingham. The publica tion, in 1786, of his JlMory of Farly Opinion concerning Jetu Chrint, occasioned the renewal of a controversy, which had begun in 1778, be tween him and Dr. Uorseley, concerning the doc trines of Free Will, Materialism and Unitarian ism. Tbe victory in this controversy will proba bly be awarded by most men iu accordance with their own precouceived views on theqnestious at Issue. His reply to Burke s Refiection on the French Revolution led to bit being made a citizen of tbe French Republic ; and this led to a mob on tbe occasion breaking into his house, and de stroying all its contents, book 6, manuscripts, scientific Instruments, ivc. He states that the sum awarded to him as damage fell 2000 short of the actual pecuniary loss. A brottier-in-law, however, about this time left him 10,000, with an annuity of 200. In 1701, he succeeded to tbe charge at Hackney, which had become vacant by the resignation of Dr. r nee. tie did not re main long here, however. His honestly-avowed opinions had made him as unpopular as an ho nest avowal of opinions generally does. lie re moved to America where he was received with respect, if not with enthusiasm. He had the of fer of the professorship of Chemistry at Philadel phia, which be declined. I tie located in .orlli- uinberlatid soon after with several other Englit-h families of prominence. In 1 96 his wife died. To the day of hi death be continued to pursue his literary and scientific pursuits witn as much ardour as he bad shown at any period of his ac tive life, ne died Ctb February, 1S04 expressing bit satisfaction with his haviug led a life so use ful, aud his confidence in immortality. He was a man of irreproachable moral and do mestic character, remarkable for zeal for truth, patience aud serenity of temper. lie appears to have been fearless in proclaiming his convictions whether theological, political or scientific." A meeting of the citizens of Sunbnry was held iu tbe Court House on last Thursday evening, to take action to build au ncademv. On motion, W. A. Sober, F.6q., was called to preside, and A. N. Biice appointed Secretary. Geu. Jno. Kay Clement stated the object of the meeting to lie to raWe money to build au academy. Rev. S. J. Millikcu, Rev. S. II. Gcarhard, Prof, E. 8chncider, Geo. Hill, Esq., Judge Rockefeller and others made remarks. The following resolutions were then proposed and adopted aud a committee appointed : Jletolved, That In the judgment of this meet ing, tbe citizens of Suubury ought to make an earnest effort to build au acadcinv. Itrtolced, That a committee of nine be appoint ed to solicit subscriptions for this object to the amount of 15,000. Geo. Hill, Esq., Hon. Win. M. Rockefeller, Dr. J. G. Markle, Rev. S. J. Millikcn, Rev. S. II. Gearbard, Rev. A. C. Wheat, Rev. G. W. Hem perley, Rev. J. DcMoyer, and Rev. Dr. Marsh were appointed as the committee. The semi-annual sessiou of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics was held at Dan ville.on Tuesday and Wednesday last. A large number of delegations from all parts of the State were in attendaucc. A great procession passed through the streets on Tuesday, forming a mag nificent sight nnd eliciting much applause. In the evening a grand banquet and ball for the benefit of the visiting delegations came off. A drcm coups from Lykens, Upper Dauphin, stopped at this place several hours, on Monday, on their way to Danville to participate in the pa rade of the Jr. O. U. A. M. on Tuesday. They are a fine looking set or young men, and their behavior excellent and dignified. Thef are a I credit to the town thev hail from. Oars on the Susquehanna. The boat and tub races came off on Friday evening last, as was announced, and were witnessed by several thou sand people. There were four races : tub race, experienced oarsmen, amateurs, and double oars. The tub race created much merriment lor the spectators. Four entered, viz: Wm. Israel, Jesse Andrews, M. Rawn and Wm. Blair. At G.45, they being iu readiness, started in the man ner of 'every man must paddle his own canoe,' nnd at the same time there was a grand overt urn, tubs up and occupant down, and a new start was lakeu every time this happened until oue succeed ed hi reaching the specified point and was declar ed the victor. Great agility was displayed in reaching tbo starting point anew, with tub iu hand. Ducking was frequent for at least an hour. Mr. Israel succeeded in safely reaching the place designated as tbe line for the victor to cross, about oue buudred yards distant. The experienced oarsman's race came off next: six entries for the race. The rowing dibtance bciug half a mile up tbe river and return. Mr. Gouglcr of Shamokin Dam, came out ahead ; Krohu, second; Ray, third ; Philips, fourth; Hopper, fifth, and Tmtt, sixth. Gouglcr receiv ed the principal prize oue barrel of flour ; Krohn, the second, a pair of gold sleeve buttons. The third race, amateurs ; three entries : Ja- coby, Westlall and Auraud. Mr. Auraud, of Shamokin Dam, curried ofl the prize, a cham pion flag. The. fourth race was between three double oar ed boats. The prize, a silver cup, was won by Messrs. Krohn and Frymire. During tbe races the river bank prescntci a lively appearance, being lined with people for at least a quarter of a mile. Forty boats, fully oc cupied, were counted in the, vicinity of the race. All on shore and river manifested intense inte rest iu the competitors as they passed up and down the river. The sail boat "Hattie," was also out, under full sail, filled with passengers. While the races were in progress the greatest en thusiasm prevailed. The waters were calm and the weather clear, which added greatly to the exciting amusement to all concerned. A num ber of strangers were noticed who were some what enraptured with our scenery, our river and our aquatic races. Postponed. The sale of the Limestone aud farm property, situate about two and a-half miles above the borough of Northumberland, in Point township, has been postponed until Mon day the 27ih inst., at 2 o'clock p. in. The sale will take place on the premises. Tbe lands con- ;iiu limestone and other minerals, inexhaus tible limestone quarries have been ojened on the ands, and a lateral railway leading to the P. fc E. R. R. built for an outlet to market. Tbe rail road switches, sidings, Ac, will aiso be iucluded iu the sale of the lanis. There will also be sold at the same time a tract of land wheroou is erect cd a good dwelling house and barn. The lime stone of these lands is of the first quality, and the quantity inexhaustible. These tracts are very valuable, and will be sold on liberal terms. The purchaser, whoever lie may be, will no doubt make a handsome barraiu, as the lands arc be coming daily more valiiable on account of their mineral productions. The correspondent of the .Vitfoniun whose language in reference to the celebration In the Park on the 4th we copied verbatim, tries to play the role of innocence. Last week he wrote a com munication to the Oa-.eUe and a letter to the Jfillouian, and we "would not bo surprised at all if he held in possession au "aJJSihwiC from some one proving his iniioceuce. He first says that we "nndertook to distort his language," and then adds "our reference to the matter was merely a joke, not knowing at the lime that any of our well-to-do German citizens bail anything to do with the celebration.'"' This looks like hitting a mau on the cheek, and theii patting him to make him believe it was all a joke, thus concealing his intentions to avail hlmsolf of some future opportunity to smack the other cheek. The fact Is that the correspondent was prompted to write as he did in consequence of one of our most respectable German citizens having asked him to contribute something towards the project, and to whom ho geneeowsbj contributed the libe ral sum of fifty cent. Our ruuiarks were not made through any malice as the correspondent prefers. We arc too well informed of his tricks to take umbrage at nny of his waywardness which we suppose is tbe result of hi nature. The stabbing of our citizens in the dark by this correspondent, has been frequent, xlad we a few more such correspondents, Sunbnry would soou become a doomed town. His denial of the real intent of his scribbling by saying it was a joke, might have done well enough for Tom Col- ins, but it is not in good keeping with Elder of modern times : particularly those who assist in the services of the sanctuary. Aspirants to legislative honors should be more discreet in matters in which the whole community nre inte rested. A Fine Enoine. Our citizens along Third street witnessed a !cautiful sight on last Friday evening. Soon after the 7 o'clock train passed northward, a locomotive came np the road most beautifully and tastefully trimmed with flower wreaths and flags. The cntrine came from Miilersburg, where it had been trimmed for the special .occasion of takiug the scholars aud teachers of tbe Evangelical Suuday School of that place on a pic nic excursion to Dauphin 'on Saturday. The engine was lit charge of C. M. Stewart, oue of the most cajcful engineers ou a railroad, and we learn was decorated by the member of class 36, of which he is au active member In the school. The excursion party on Saturday, numbered some six hundred ersous, who, beiDg drawn over the road by such a hand some machine, mt have felt happy. WellManoed. The machine, shops of the Pennsylvania railroad compauy, at this place, are admirably managed by tbe Superintendent, Martin Walls, Esq. Every department is con ducted with precision and everything moves along regular. Mr. Alonzo Dolbcer, foreman iu tbe machine shop, is constantly kecpiug an eye open, and watches closely that everything made n the shops is turned out iu first-class condition. He is a splendid mechanic. In the carpenter shops, Mr. Mason, an able and experienced workman, superintend the work iu a most sat isfactory maimer. In the offices the most effi cient clerks are found, polite and accommo dating. The shops present a lively appearance despite the hard times. About two hundred hands arc employed around tin: shops, and all arc busy from the superintendent down to the wijiing boys. Anniversary. Monday evening, July 20th, being the first anniversary of W. C, No. 194, P. O. S. of A., the room was well filled with members of the order. After the regular order of business of tbe evening, the Camp were hap pily surprised by Rev. G. W. Hempeiley, of Camp No. 19, stepping into the centre of the room, and iu a neat and appropriate address, and in behalf of Camp No. presented Camp No. 194 with a very handsome quarto Bible, which was responded to by members of the Camp. The following resolutions were adopt ed: Whereas, W. C, No. 1H4, P. O. S. of A., have been the happy recipients of a very handsome quarto Bible lrom Camp No. 19, on the evening of, our first anniversary, a present which we prize for its great value, and tbe precious truth it contains, we deeply appreciate the interest manifested in us by Camp No. 19; therefore Jinolved. That we tender onr most heartfelt thanks to Camp No. 19, who have so kindly pre sented to us such a precious present; and that we assure you that we will be guided by its Holy Precepts, aud ever keep iu renicmbrar.ee the kindness of the doners." After ice-cream and refreshment being serv ed, at a late hour tbey adjourned, all being well pleased with the entertainmeut. A correspondent of the Jtaily of yesterday, has the following : Wanted. .Vr.

The wild ani mals nre represented to be in splendid condition, aud the collection is larger than auy show now travelling. First class performers will given grand entertainment nnder the same canvass. So look out for the great steam organ. Lots of fun. I FOR TUB SUNBURY AMERICAN. C'onufjr Fiuances. It is really amusing to see the consistency and woudi rful ability displayed by Mr. Hottenste-.n and Mr. Eichholtz in dissecting the County Au ditors' Report of 1873. The comments on the do cument almost enables Mr. Eichholtz to dis pense for a season with his 'Patent Outsides.' We 6hall note, as a matter of curiosity, a few of the leading points taken by Mr. Holteustiue iu his first onslaught ou the County Treasurer and Auditors. He undertakes to convince Mr. Eich holtz iu 5 minutes time (provided, he Eichholtz, made no mistake iu copy) that tbe late Treasu rer. Mr. Cadwallader, went out of office with some 7,So2 G3 of public money in bis pocket, and should be made to refund both principal aud interest to the county. He arrives at his figures in the following iuircuious way : He takes the ex cess of receipts above expenditures 11,072 75 nnd subtracts the 1 rcasurer s indebtedness on settlement 13,240 12 from said amount, which produces his figures $7,832 63. This sum, in his dillereut communications, has been made to va ry, sometimes higherand sometimes lower. Now let us apply Mr. ilottenstinc's rule to tbe Audit of 1872, and we will find thai the excess of ex penditures above receipts was $810 64, and yet on settlement with tbo Treasurer, the Auditor's found him indebted to the couuty f 3,477 62. Then according to Mr. Uotlenstinc's method, Mr. Cad wallader should have received the $810 64 in stead of paying in addition to that sum $3,477 62, consequently Mr. Cadwallader must have been wronired to the amount of 4,294 zb. Now, does any sane person suppose that a man with tbe bu siness qualifications of Mr. Cadwallader, a man who knew at the close of every day's transac tions bow he stood in account with tbe county, would have submitted to such an act of injustice to himself ? Vet, according to Mr. Hotteustiue, I that would have been the mode of settlement. I The Board of County Auditors also fell uuder the ban of Mr. Ilottenstinc's displeasure, be cause they dared to make some explanatory re marks regarding extraordinary expenses incur red by the county during 1873. Those explana tions were no part or the report, but simply at tached after the signing of the certificate, ne at once saw a terrible political bug-bear behind these explanations. He calls them absurd, bungling, contemptible, and seemed to cxhan6t his vocabulary of Words to paint them in their hi deous enormity. This seemed very unnecessary on the part of Hottenstcin, when we reflect that we are living in an eulightcncd age, when every tax-payer can read, and form his own opinions on such matters. But now mark the consistency in this crusade against the Auditors. Later iu the discussion, .Mr. Eichholtz also became an "interested party," and after the County Audi tors met for a further explanation, explanations, (official in character,) not in order to satisfy Messrs. Hot tenstlne and Eichholtz, well knowing the impossibility of convincing men against tbeir will aud iutcrest, but simply to further explain to the public those points iu the report which were attacked. Upon those explunatious beiug made, Mr. Eichhol'.z burls particnlar thunder at the Auditors because those explanations were not made at the time of tbe settlement with tbo Treasurer. Mr. Uottenstine abuses the Auditors for making explanations ; Mr. Eicbbolts de nounces them for not making more explanations : hard taskmasters, these gentlemen ! The County Auditors never laid any claim to infallibility ; they are liable to errors with the rest of humanity Messrs. Uottenstine and Eichholtz aloue excepted. But in their late au dit they have given satisfactory proof to every unprejudiced miud, that their report is and al ways was correct. It seems like very small bu siness to attack public men merely from political motives, and to accuse men of rascality who have takeu an oath to perform their duties faith fully aud impartially, is a very grave and serious charge, it would be possible for County Auditors, ir required by law, and public demand, to publish every order issued by the County Commissioners. It would perhaps be a little difficult to explain the object or every order granted to tbe satisfaction of some parties Iu the county. They might perhaps demand to know the precise geographical localitf where every fox was caught loi whos? scalp the Commission ers granted an order on the Treasurer, &e ; but in thttl way general satisfaction might jterhaps be obtained. The cost of auditing and publish ing such a report would be a trine to good econo mists. We arc certain by comparing annual re ports with our sister counties, thai Northumber land county reports are as full auc complete as any we see. .Mr. tiehuoltz cau see uotulng more than a simple demand from Mr. Ilotten- etine for information from tbe County Auditors which he or any other lax-payer bad a right to make. We would ask any unprejudiced man to read the articles of Mr. Hottcunlne, and If there is not malice or contempt in almost every sen tence, we know nothing about the meaning of the T- t: . i 1 1 i . . ... . . .. . . . r.uiisu language. tv nab uu bucu term u ig noramus,' 'asses,' 'dolls and' the like, which are freely used, mean 1 if this is gentlemanly lan guage, nillliunism must be terrible when reduced to writing. If Mr. Uottenstine had been in quest of information regarding facts of tbe report be yond bis comprehension, and bad approached either or tbe auditors with common decency, they would no doubt have satisfied him to the best or their ability. Ouye of the auditors has been in connection with tbe Board for seven years iu succession, and for accuracy iu accounts has few superiors ; he certaiuly should under stand auditing in that length of time. Tbe en tire board f auditors are fully competent to per form the dnties devolving upon tbem. And should Mr. Uottenstine ever be called upon by the people of the county to be one f tbe board or auditors, he will find that it will require all his gigantic intellectual powers, to make a cor rect statement of all the transactions or the county during one year. It will be impossible for Messrs. Uottenstine and Eichholtz to obliterate this fact from tbe county records, that during tbe year 1873, tbe couuty indebtedness amounting to nearly $20, 000 00 has leeu paid off. That the paying of In terest on couuty indebtedness has ceased ; nnd that the system of allowing collectors or county taxes vcars upon years to settle up their dupli cates has also censed. Iu former settlements with county treasurers, we would find from 40 to SC.0,000 00 or outstanding taxes ; now, when we examine the late report or 1873, and find only $5,275 65 outstanding ou the 3d of January, 1874, we feel like joiniug with the auditors iu their detached explanations, iu congratulating the tax-parcrs of the county on the excellent man- uceineutor the Commissioners in bringing about such a desirable result.
