A Fishing Excihsion. Several of theSuubury Walton?, viz: .1. J. Smitli, the handsome, post master, E. M. Bueber, clerk, X. S. Fugle, bank er, and Geo.

The sportsmen arrived home on Wednesday evening soon after daik, looking much iu-proved in health, but verv much fati'-ued. We have for years past been impressed with the opinion from what we observe in those who visit the up per regions of tLe West Branch for sporting pur poses, that health must lay around loose among those lofty mouutains and cbrystal mountain trout -loving et reams. Loose dirt cheap to be picked up by the poorest without price. Why all who venture up that far from our place re- tarn horn? the very picture of health : Bronzed like the soldier, his step as light us stealth ; Ills ruddy cheek and brUU'Vit nose, the very fash of health.

Miner1 Journal. Rr.niciNii Eevis. Wo are happy to notice that landlords are moving in the reduction of rents. During the hard times many of the te nants were without employment, and perhaps their families in need of the necessaries of life. Owners of t"tiaut houses are receiving exhorbi tant rents in a number of instances, und now as wages are being reduced rents should be lowered correspondingly. Mr. Win. T. Engleman has been the first to move in this matter, and has re duced the rents on his houses ten per cent., to take effect on the first day of September. A good tenant will appreciate such a liberal act, and the landlord may expect to save the amount throMgh better care on the part of the tenant, which will insure a continuance of occupancy. The Daily adopts a very delicate way of bring ing Einauuel Wilvert out for Congress. Uazttte. Since the above notice appeared in the Gazette, there, have been surmises that the editor of that jiacr, Mr. Tounguiau, is an aspirant for the po sition, j'ohu always has an eye open for office, and with the aid of a little Cattery could no doubt be induced to be a candidate for either jxir t'j. Wc have consulted with Mr. Difsingcr who has agreed to withdraw and leave Mr. Young man have the field, jis he would most Jlkely re ceive the nomination of both parties, and there would be. no earthly hojie for either of us. We therefore deciine. The Reporter of tlie Co al proceedings in the Daily 6cems to think the owner of an old build ing is bound to pull it down with the privilege of putting up a new one if l.e is able. Accord ing to the law laid down by this expounder, the owner of every old house is bound to rebuild or have his cd l:o;ie removed.

The meeting was organized by Dr. Bolton, of New Tork city, as temporary chairman, who was waimly applauded cn taking the chair. Rev.

Prof. Chandler, on taking t je chair as President, stated that he would not occupy the time in making a speech, that bcwould call upon Col. David Taggart to deliver the address of welcome. The Colonel then cane forward, and delivered the following address, nesaid : I have been chosen by my fellow citizens to of fer to the learned and distinguished m?n and wo women who have gathered here to fomraemo rate a grand diseovcrv and to honor a great name, a brief but earnest welcome. Vc cannot follow you through the wide realms of science, nor explore very deeply the mysteries of nature, for we know more about oxen than oxjiren, and a great deal more about the way of n ilk than the milky way, but we can move whh equal step in paying a tribute of respect and rverancc to the illustrious man who, eighty yirs ago, found among the rude forefathers of thii hamlet a r,uict home, and seventy years ago an honored grave. While iu the lapse of everlasting time nil human names mnst be forgotten, maay ages will have come and gone nnd left the'r silent footmarks on the earth before that of Prie.-tlcy will pass from the. memories and re cords of Ids fellow men. He has writtea it in letters of light and glory upon the highest and broadest piuar of the universe. By right of eetiitis and labor he takes rank with the dead but scepter-d sovereigns who still rule our spirits from their urns. Like the eagle he built his eyrie upon the mountain's top, inac cessible to vulgar intrusions. In that pure at mosphere he dwelt not above human sjiite, jea lousy and detraction, for it is easier to get below than above their annoyances. The shafts of bi gots and fools were aimed at him, bnt thev could not penetrate the triple armor which phi. osophy, enthusiasm and truth had thrown arouud him. Like you, gentlemen, he made science his mis tress, and with a pure heart and an untiring mind he worshipped her through long days ot la bor and nights devoid of ease, and to-day he stands with Gallileo, Newton, Harvey, Franklin, Faraday atid Humboldt, grand, colossal nnd en during, one of the great high prcsts in the bound less and beautiful temple of nature. A brutal English uiob could bum his dwelling, and in an honr of political madness nod religious frenzy destroy the work of years, bnt It conld not stavthe indomitable, cueriv h's genius nor ctT.ii cne lumie oi ins weil earned renown, while the miserable wretches who composed that mob, have long ago given back to the; great clement which he discovered seventy-five per cent, of their worthless carcasses. More than eighty years' af terward his great name is a talllstuau to draw to this quiet village many of th most renowned knowledge-gathererB of the nation besides ev eral from New Jersey and Canada, an aristocra cy of learning an intellect that can afford to look down from its high citadels of thought and achievement with pity, if not contempt, upon the more vulgar aristocracy of blind accident, the painted catterpillars of pretentious illiterate wealth. As I am not vain cuougli to suppose that any one cares to listen to me, when such illustrious names are upon tbe bills, I will merely reiterate to you.men and women of seuse and science, in be bhalf of all my neighbors, a very sincere and un feigned welcome to our homes and to our hearts, and let me assure you most earnestly that we are not only willing but anxious to do all things possi ble to make you remember with pleasure your well-timed pilgrimage to the home und grave of the greatest discoverer of his time. A committee was appointed to confer with the centennial meeting iu Birmingham, England ; also, to takepart in spirit in the unveiling of the sfatue of the late Joseph Priestley, in that city. Numerous letters of regret were read to the meeting. Then followed a sketch of the "Life and Lr.bors of Dr. Joseph Priestley," by Profes sor Henry II. Craft, of Toronto, Canada. Professor Horsford of Cambridge, Mass., then gave some interesting sketches of the life and read several original letters of the late Dr. Priestley. OKEETING FItOM ACKOSS TI1E OCEAN.

Eiigi:nd : NoiiTln.MiiKiti.ANi), l'a., July 31, 1874. The brother chemists at the grave to their brothers at the home of Priestley send greeting oil this centennial anniversary of the birtli of chemistry. The. convention then adjourned till 2 p. ni. AT THE rniEbTl.EY MANSION. At two p. m. the chemists proceeded to the Priestley mansion, where they were photograph ed. In the building the apparatus, books, man uscripts, &c, of Priestley and other objects, il lustrating the hiktory of chemistry, were on ex hibition. The meeting reassembled at three p. m. Andrew Huston, aged S3, said to be the old est printer in the United States, occupied a seat ou the floor. It was announced that there were fifty scientific delegates present. THE CENTI UY'9 ritOGKESS. Professor T. Sterry Hunt, of Boston, delivered an extended review of the century's progress in theoretical chemistry. He traced the progress of chemistry as an art from the earliest times, endeavoring to show how it took form as a sci ence in the eighteenth century. Referring to the three gTcat chemists who, one hundred years since, began the new era, he said Priestley, though he had known the existence of oxygen, still held the old philosophy, and died tbe last defender of the phlogistic hypothesis, to the dowufall of which his discovery had so much contributed. The following despatch was sent to Birming ham, England. Welcome Despatch received. Professors J. L. Smith, Gorcmaus and Jay, were appointed a committee to represent the United 8tates in spi rit at the unveiling of Priestley's statue. A committee of five was appointed to co-operate with the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, ut its next meeting, in es tablishing a chemical section on a firmer basis. The convention then adjourned. THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. At the morning session a resolution that a com mittee be appointed to confer with the managers of the Centennial Exposition as to the best means of inducing the largest number of Euro pean professors of chemistry and cognate scien ces to visit America in 1876. was referred. VISIT TO THE GRAVE OP PltrESTLEY. At 6:30 P. M. the grave of Priestley was visi ted. At least 500 persons, including many ladies, repaired to the cemetery, which is located in of outskirts of the town, where, standing uncovered, they listened to a beautiful address by Professor Henry Coppee, of Lehigh University, who on short notice acted in place of Professor nenry, of Washington, who was unable to be present. He expressed his regret at the absence of Prof. TT., ... , , . nenry, to whom the duty of making the address at the grave of Priestly had been originally as- signed, and his extreme reluctance to act at short J,8r1,,UbStUntC: f?1"' urgent Tub light running "iWic" Sewing ma request of the committee, and solicited the in- chine, on account of its many points of superi diligence of his audience. He spoke of Priestly as not only a chemist, bnt a theologian, a politi cal economist and historian, calling especial nt tcution to his lecture on history and general polity, published in Loudon in 1793, the year be fore he came to America He allowed that Priestly was dogmatic and controversial, but claimed that lie was ardent in 6earch of the truth, that he thought he was right that he should propagate his views'. Priest ley's essay on education contained many sug- gestions which are now being carried out. nis views were unpopular in his day, but are singu iariy good iu ours. That essay was published n ' , , Dr. Coppee referred to the death of rricstley as one pnmnl. m .1 ... ... - - ...

He told kis physician that he would be perfectly satisfied if he could patch him up for six months, until he could complete the printing of his works. The brief address closed with a delicate allusion to the virtues and merits of Priestley's wife, who was an invaluable help to her husband, and who was presented to the ladies present as worthy of their Imitation, On the tombstone over his remains is the following inscription : TO THE MEMORT OF THE REV.

Professor Smith, of Kentucky, addressed the chemists in relation to the Liebig memorial, and proposed a contribution. He said two memorials were proposed, one In Munich and one in Gies- sen, and he hoped the contributions would be libcral,'that America would take prominence in the work. Subscriptions wete received amounting to SC00, the subscribers indicating Gicssevj as their choice. A lengthy essay on American contribu tions to chemistry was delivered by Professor Benjamin Sillimau, of New Haven, Connecticut. The report of the Finance Committee was re ceived nnd accepted. It was decided that the surplus be devoted to procuring a photograph album, aid a'so the autographs of delegates, to be presented to Joseph Priestley, ns a memorial of this Centennial. A committee to confer with the Centennial Commission did uot wish to report, but asked leave to increase their numbers. Granted. Resolutions of thanks to the citizens of Nor thumberland, for their warm reception and courteous hospitality, were adopted.
