Timely Suggestion'. —Next year is the regu- i lar census year* It is important that the sta tistics of the population and resources should he as accurate as possible. Our people give too little attention to the character of the infor mation they furnish the census taker. *ln view of the indifference bo generally shown to his labors, a Southern editor who was employed on the census returns of 1850 thus appeals to his farming readers,. The appeal is all the more important since, if the doty pointed out is neglected now, it can hardly be accurately done hereafter; “Now, what we suggest is, that each farmer, this faU, as he gathers his crops, shall keep li.ke an accurate account of the quan tity and value of the same; and, if he will take the trouble, to make out a statement of the names and ages of his family; the number of acres of land, cleared and timbered ; the number and ages of his servants ; the number and value of his horses and mules ; the number of bales of cotton, barels of corn, bushels of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &a.. and the value of each, and leave U in some place where any member of the family who may be at home when the Deputy Marshal-slmll call, can readi ly get hold of it, it will save time to all concer ned, and very greatly assist to make the census returns complete and satisfactory.” The Eatixg op Fruit.—- -The use of fruit in not understood by x many of our people. Some have great prejudice against it during the sum mer and autumnal months ; others observe no rule in regard to tho time of eating it, or the quanlty which may be taken with safety. The prejudice of the former most likely grow out of the neglect of ordinary prudence by those who use it without any regard to time, quanity or state. Improperly used or eaten, when in an unfit state, it ia productive of many diseases pccular to the summer months, but undoubted ly a proper use js conductive to health and preventive of disease. No general rule can be given for the eating of fruit—except that it should always be of a sound and wholesome quality. Every person must judge of the quantity and the kind of fruit and vegeta bles best suited to their constitutions. “What is one man’s meat is another’s poison.” Three or four largo apples would induce cholera mor bus in some, while it would be beneficial to others. Experience is always the best guide—r you can take with safety everything agreeable to the system, as well in dog-days as in mid winter. The great secret is to know when to stop. Excessive eating—stuffing, overloading the stomach—brings on disease and often pro duces death. Scorbutic diseases, are the parent stock from which arises a large proportion of the fatal maladies that afflict mankind.—They are as it were a species of of potato r.ot in the human constitution, which undermines and corrupts all the sources of its vitality and hastens its : deeav. They are the germ from which springs, Consumption, Rhumatism, Heart Disease, Liv er Complaints, and Eruptive Diseases which will be recognized as among those most fatal and destructive to the races of men.—So dread ful are its consequences to human life, that it is hardly possible to over estimate the impor tance of an actual, reliable remedy, that can sweep out this Scrofulous contamination. We know then we shall proclaim welcome news to our readers, of one from such a quarter as will leave little doubt of its efficacy—and still more welcome, when we tell them that it sorely does accomplish the end desired. We mean Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it is certainly wor thy the attention of those who are afflicted with-Scmfitta or Scrofulous complaints.—Reg ister, Albany t A r . T. The Newspaper Press. —Men dislike to praise the Newspaper Press ,or acknowledge its power. Many habitually deny its influence, and as constantly court its favor and its encour agement. It has made more reputatlons for public men, more fortunes in business, and more professional characters for individuals, than have been made otherwise by ability, energy and skill. It is a great beneficiary for politicans, their main reliance, and their only means of acquiring public notoriety. It is the ordinance department for polties—the arsenal nnd magazine from which small minds draw their weapons and ammunition for politcal warfare. It furnishes them with all their da ta, analyzes their subject, draws their con clusions, and confers upon them the distinction of ostensible authorship. It is, with its thous ands of editors, still an impersonality. The press speaks; we listen to it, not as the organ of one but the impersonal organ of many. It is assailed by dwarfs and struts, who often affect to treat it; with disdain, to the infinite delight of its laborers and conductors. The following paragraph from the Utica Oh serrer, demonstrates to business men the advan tages of advertising: It ia often the case that men come into our office and inquire for the papers published at such a place, saying they would like to find somebody's advertisement. They sit down and look the papers over, and it is often the ca«o that they are unable to find the desired infor mation. Not long since a gentleman was look ing for the names and address of an Albany firm to which he desired to make a consign ment, but not finding it he made the remark that he would ship to a firm he was well ac quainted with, but not liking their reputation, he desired to deal with the other firm. This is but one of many instances, and proves con clusively that business men should advertise, if ’tie nothing more than their business cards. Coppeh Oee.- —Mr. Freeman Thomas, of Wat sontown, Northumberland county, baring made such investigations on the property of Martin Roup, of IToIf Township, some eight miles from this Borough, as to satisfy himself of the existence, in considerable quantities, of Cop per Ore on the premises, has leased for a term of years, the privilege of mining the ore.

As the late Temperance Movement in our Borough has excited general interest through out our County, we bare been requested by a correspondent to give a short sketch of the means by which it was brought about. We shall be glad indeed if any other Township or Borough in the County shall be assisted by this bit of history to a determined and energetic effort in the same direction; and we trust that the friends of the Temperance Cause in the different sections shall organize at once and go to work. On the evening of the 18th of June last, a meeting was held in this town the object of which was to reorganize the Division of the Sons of Temperance. The few who met to gether, (and there were very few) appointed the necessary committees to make due arrange ments. These met with many difficulties.— There was a public apathy on the Temperance question which its friends found impossible to dispel. There was also a want of confidence in the organization of a society under the Order of the Sons, for reasons which it is needless to explain. In consequence of these and other draw-backs, the project of starting a Division was temporarily abandoned. On Sunday, the 17th of July, Rev. J. F. Calkins announced at the morning service in Presbyterian Church that Mr. Wm. E. Dodge of New York would address a meeting on that evening at the same place on the subject of Temperance. The well known character of the speaker attracted a very large audience. The address of Mr. Dodge was an earnest appeal to the friends of religion, sobriety and good order, to rescue our beautiful village from the terrible influences of the rum-traffic upon its citizens. The sad effects of Intemperance were illustrated by facts which had fallen under the speaker’s own observation, and these doubtless suggested to every man and woman present, ns they, did to us, cases of a similar character. At the close of the address, Mr. Calkins announced that a meeting would be held at the same place on the following Wednesday evening, July2oth. At this meeting, Dr. Webb was called to pre side, and Mr. C. G. Williams of the Democrat , and the editor of this paper wore chosen secre taries. It was a kind of conference meeting in which many of our best citizens took part, and short and earnest speeches were made by Messrs. Calkins, Webb, Ensworth, Osgood, H. W. Williams and Emery—all, with the excep tion of Mr. Emeiy, expressing their belief (hat the time had come when something ought to be done to stay the evils of intemperance so man ifest in our village. At this meeting two Com mittees were appointed, one to make arrange ments for future meetings and another to sug gest such modification of the present license laws ns would best promote the interests of temperance in this community. This action was taken with a view to petition the legisla ture next winter for the paksnge of a special law for our Borough (and if practicable for the entire County) embodying these modifications. On Tuesday evening August 2d, another in teresting meeting was held at the Presbyterian Church, which was addressed by Rev. W. S. Colton of Weatbersfield, Conn., whose services were secured for the occasion. On the 9th of August Dr. Webb and others addressed the meeting and the interest thus far seemed in creasing. At this meeting the committee pre viously appointed to examine the license laws and report what modifications thereof ought to be attempted, submitted the following Resolu tions : That such & modification of the existing license laws is needed os would take the power of granting licenses to Groceries and Restaurants from the County Treasurer and place it in the bands of the Court of Common Pleas to be exercised in the same name and upon the same conditions, a s the power to license Inns and Taverns. Jteivlced, Tb&t we deem it advisable to petition the Legislature during the coming session for the passage of « probibitary law for the County of Tioga. These resolutions were discussed on that evening and on every evening since then, and the further consideration of them was post poned from time to time. On the 23d of Au gust, Josiab Emery discussed the second Reso lution taking the negative of the question in volved, and the further consideration of it was postponed till meeting. Meantime another movement in the Tern* perance cause was made in a different direction. It had become quite evident that a large ma jority of those engaged in the "meetings above mentioned, were in favor of the legal sapprci- THE TIOGA [CQUffTY AGITATOR. sion of the traffic, and Were determined to di rect ail their labors to that end. The history of the “Moral Suasion Movement” as it has been called, may be given in the words of the Democrat : “Pursuant to notice given to that portion of our citizens who have not been actively identi fied with the recent Temperance movement in this place, a meeting was held at Boy’s Hall on Monday evening. It was called to order by C. G. Williams,.who nominated. 5.. E.. Wilson, Esq., as Chairman. A. S. Brewwster and, 1.. I). Taylor were chosen Tice Presidents; and A. J. Sofield and C. G. Williams elected Secreta ries. The Chairman returned his the nks to the meeting for the honor conferred upon him, and in concluding bis remarks, stated tb > object of; the meeting to be the formation of i Temper ance Society. Plans for organization were then submitted, and after some discussion the fol lowing Platform, offered by C. 6. Williams, was unanimously agreed to.- Whereat, It is the prerogative of freeman to hold, express, and act in accordance with their independent opinions upon all subjects, and especially so upon sub jects involving tbe common weal; and irhercat, ire firmly believe the power of Moral Suasion as an rnstru mentof reform is too mtich lost sigbt of bj those who, in their zeal for the cause of temperance, look mainly to coercion by means of the enactment if stringent laws; therefore, Retolved, That wo form ourselves into tn Associa tion, to be called the Reform Club, the object of which shall bo to test tbe strength of moral a lasion as a means of reform: and to this end we pledge our indi vidual and united influence to constrain jur friends and neighbors to abstain entirely from tbs use of al coholic drinks. Resolced, That, believing example should always accompany precept, we hereby pledge ourselves to ab stain from the use of malt or spirituous liquors, wine or cider, as a beverage. j A- J. Sofield, E.

G. Williams, S. F. Wilson, and A. J. Sofield were appointed a committee to report a Constitution and By-Laws for the Association, at its next meeting. The Club then resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, to make personal to those who are outside of other* temperance Jorganizn tions, to be present at the next meeting, and connect themselves with the After which, the meeting adjourned one we£k.” The organization thus effected, has been faith fully sustained, and the meetings have been at tended with much interest. New nakies have been added to the list every week, aiid at the meeting on Monday evening last, several gen tlemen from other parts of the county joined the society. A few have broken the pledge as was to be expected; but it isjbelieved that the great majority of those who put their names to the pledge will stand to it like men, determined as we know many of them to be, to free them selves from this curse. All honor to i hose who stand faithful. And it seems to us almost self evident that those who abandon ibis obligation need the coercive suasion deprecated in the above preamble. However, a short time will tell which of the suasions is the better, for if the moral kind fail in our community], we must have the legal method tried also. Wecannofcclu.se this article without advert ing to the healthful influence already exerted by this temperance movement. Whatever may be said to the contrary, we know that WeVU boro to-day is a great improvement upon Wells boro a month ago. Drunkenness is seldom seen in our streets, and rowdyism and disorderly conduct have entirely vanished from qur midst. BS'We bad supposed that Mr. Henry Sher wood and Mr. John W. Ryon were sile propri etors of Forney-Douglasism in and for the County of Tioga. We had thought that when Douglas received the nomination at Charleston (a contingency which from present appearances is not very likely to occur) these gentlemen would form the pillars for the triumphal arch through which the legions of the faithful in this county would walk to battle in 18(30. And we had thought, too, (how stupid to think so I) that the ides of last March had effectually stran gled any show of independent thought or action other than at the bidding of “Dr. jj B.” and had entirety settled the political hash of the two gentlemen “first aforesaid.” But we are all liable to err, and ns Seth Pecksniff truly said, “the best of us are but humaLl” For our part we acknowledge our These gentlemen did not enjoy the pleasurd of being Douglasites “all alone in their glory,f* and we will now tell you how we happen to know. Last Saturday was the day set apa rt in the Democratic calender for the election of dele gates to the County Convention to be held at this place next week. C. G. Williacus Esq., and Mr. H. A. Guernsey were announced as candidates for delegates from this !3orougb, but os these gentlemen were supposed! to favor the adoption of Buchanan resolutions in the approaching Convention, opposition delegates were announced, and for a couple of hours the “combat deepened” and the brave of both fac tions fought nobly and well. And jilthough “the battle is not always for the strong nor the race for the swift/' yet in this instance the strong and the swift, were victorious, jand £fr. Julius Sherwood and Mr. Thos, B. Bryden, the Douglas delegates were defeated by a majority of fifteen. In a fight in which we are in no wise interested, our sympathies are always With the weaker party. We go in for “the under dog in the fight,” always. Let it be known, then, that there are in this Borough no less than twelve Douglas Democrats! It is hardly neces sary to add that the Convention next waek will swallow “Dr. J, B,” and the acts of hi* admin istration, Lecompton and all. Hon. G. A. Gaow, Col. Scranton, Hon. H. M. Futuna, and others are now upon a fishing excursion, along the coast. Wo notice that on Monday, 14th, the party visited the State House at Boston, and were received by the Governor. They attended the sitting of the Legislative Committee and were conducted through the various State Departments. —Since theabovo was put in type, we learn that Mr. Grow returned to his home in Susque hanna County and after staying a few days there; started for Minnessota, to take an active part in the campaign. That young State is being thoroughly canvassed by first class speak ers of both parties, and we look forward to a brilliant Republican victory there this Fall. Wc have private assurances that Sir. Grow will visit us and perhaps speak to our people on his way back from the West, along about the first days of October. FIIQM THE PEOPLE. Mr. Young; Xu your issue of August 18th,' under the “People’s” bead, I saw a very good article from “Frank,” headed “Is party spirit consonant with Freedom?” in which he re marks “a fair and honest party spirit, in which men express their cherished convictions, is both right and expedient.” Now, surely this is right; but when Frank farther says “This position maybe disputed,” then I, as one of the people beg leave to dissent. Party spirit is, and ever has been an essential to all general progress amongst men, and that man is a progressive being will hardly admit of dispute. Then “fair and honest party spirit in which men express their cherished Convictions” is both right and expedient in eliciting the truth, in all questions, whether politically, financially, philosophically, morally or religiously considered; Frank con cedes too much to interested scepticism, when be says it may be disputed, i. e., upon any just ground for dispute. I wish to awaken inquiry in all minds upon this question and upon all the questions which may arise from the inves tigation of it. Let us see; Ido not say that a party which may arise from the exigencies of any case, is to be, per se, eternally the party for a progres sive people; for the necessity which called it into being may be obviated or removed. Then, as we are not yet perfect, another arising evil is to be crushed or another desideratum to be gainbd, through effort, (I speak now of men collectively,) will the principles of the old party which was raised to obviate another evil, answer the people’s purpose to correct this evil ? If so, then go ahead ! But the proba bility is against this assumption. Frank ! s citation of Greece is a case in point. When the seven states of Greece formed a party for a specific purpose,'that party could laugh at Xer xes though backed by bis countless legions.— But when through the management of the King of Macedon that party was sundered before public safety, for the protection of which it was formed was fully secured, see how she was bagged as game by Rome. And on the other band too, we may see that when a party has fully achieved the legitimate object of its for mation, it is folly to be carrying party sacks into another war, with another enemy and that for another object than the former. Why. Moslemistn was an improvement upon Atheism. But do we think it desirable at this time of the world ? Xo, and Mohammed would hardly rank as an equal to some of the reformers who have subsequently flourished, Judaism was right and proper for its recipients, at the time it was given the Jews by its author, through Moses. But did it do for them always ? Xo 1 for when the object of its giving and adoption was attained and the law of human progress had brought the Jews to the point beyond which the old law (which was given for the improve ment of an ignorant people who had been op pressed through some four centuries of hard servitude) was not proper fqr their farther ob servance in their then advanced state; I say no sooner than they outlived the proper' uses of the old law, than we hear from its author, by the mouth of his prophet, the then startling announcement; “Your new moons anil your “ sacrifices I cannot away with : The time has “ come when he who offers sacrifice, is as though “he cut off a dog’s neck; and when he offers “ a ram as though he offered swine’s blood: “ and when he performs oblation as though he “ blessed an Idol: It is abomination unto me ; “ even the solemn meeting.” These facts need less comment than reflection. We may see that it is generally so in a philosophical point of view. When old Gallileo had, under the stress of persecution, to publicly renounce the truth of his theory of diurnal revolution, (since fully confirmed by Copernicus, Xewton and others,) it was because the world of man had not suffi ciently advenced to give him the prestige of a party numerous enough to support his truth.— Mankind are getting a little cunning; but as human nature (as such) is about the same as it ever was, so aspirants are as rapacious now as ever. Religious aspirants have come to see that Christianity is about the right thing. So they raise a party, or sect, a little in advance of some other party or sect, and when the advantages of their party have become apparent, some oth er reformer raises another party, thus obviating some of the errors of the other. For, as “to err is human,” so no human institution can be perfect for all time. So also in a political sense, men have come to think that, Democracy is about the right thing, ‘Well, as tit religion, the question will arise, “What is Christianity?” so also in politics, “What is Democracy ?” Frank accords its paternity to Jefferson, with his slavery restriction doctrine. But does the repeal of the Missouri .Compromise, Lecomp ton, Dred Scott, Territorial Slave Laws, Steal ing of Cuba, and the re-opening of the African Slave Trade, necessarily attach to Jeffersonian Democracy ?—or Jeffersonian Democracy to these ? Here I fear that Frank and I trill hare to take issue—as also when he styles the slare ocracy of to-day, the “progressive party." Are all the above cardinal tenets of the now self styled “Democracy” to he traced back down the way of upward progress to our venerable sla very restrictive Jefferson?—who was a states man inn-dvance of his time ? Pshaw! we might as well talk of 1834 "VYhiggery. The fact is, a church member is just as good, and entitled to as much credit and respect, (if he he a Christ ian) whether he ceceded from Buddhism, or Moslomism, or Judaism, as though he were a “member born,” or entered the “Party" from high life, or the ranks of backwood yeomanry. I know that some are a little tender on that score ; and in view of the good to result from a combined action of freemen, I would in all humility suggest to friends—would it not be well to drop little personal rancours or preju- dices against old names or parties, and meet in good feeling with all friends—both old and new, %ho are brought together by a common princi ple for a specific purpose—and that purpose the greatest possible good to our race ? I suppose we all have faults, which are, perhaps, less ap parent to ourselves than to scrutinists. So in the spirit of charity, all reformers should leave alone the “bricks," and meet as friendly men —bighmlnded men, “who know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them. . Chateau.
