al)c tcliigli ftegister. Allentown, Pa. THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1849. Circulation near 200 REMOVAL! The office of the Lehigh Regis ter has been removed to the build, 114 formerly occupied by Mr. C. Mohr, tobacconist, on Hamilton street, first door east of the Ger man Reformed Church,'where our friends will always find us on hand, to attend to their wishes. Job work of every description will be neatly executed at the shorteSt notice. Our Streets. We are continually in pursuit of objects : which we flatter ourselves, possess the talis manic qualities of yielding ease, comfort and health. But our pursuit often is after phantoms, whose novel and capricious appearance elude us from a proper course into a maze of perplex ities, caused by a too prevelent notion of man kind, that ease and comfort can be gained at one grasp. This, however, is not the ease, they are composed like physical objects within our view, of minute particles, which adhering to gether by mutual sympathy make up one com mon mass. To enjoy comfort and health, our attention must be directed to such causes, as have a tendency to destroy the equilibrium of the mind on those that effect the natural and healthy opperation of the body, and means em ployed to remove them. The mind and body is so intimately; sympa theticaly and mysteriously connected, that the one cannot sutler without affecting the other. The mind should never be suffered to be bur thened with grief, anxiety or - discontentment ; nor let the passionate propensities of hatred jealousy or revenge reach the ascendency. On the other hand, we should be temperate in all . our physical enjoyments, and have every ob ject around us, administered to our pleasure and comfort. What a pleasure there is, in hav ing every thing in and about our homes, clean and comfortable. How much can an industri ous wife add to the comfort of her family, in keeping her house and household affairs, com *triable and well-arranged. But, there are other objects in cities and towns that preserve the health and add to the comfort of a community that cannot be reached individually, but by concert of action of the citizens and authorities of the town. There is one thing in Allentown That should be attended to particularlyl mean the Streets. There is not one individual in our otherwise comfortable and pleasant town, but Complains of the unpleasantness of the streets. In Winter they are so loaded with mud that they are altogether impassible on font, ing at a few crossing places, wmcri are kept free from mud by individuals; and since the opening of spring—with the exception of a few hours after a heavy rain—they have become so dusty, and the surrounding atmosphere so im pregnated with fine particles of dust, that one cannot be out, nor enjoy the fresh air with open doors; without hiwing the lungs loaded with fine particles of sand, and dress, furniture and every thing else, covered over with dust. What an incalculable amount of injury it is to stores and shops. Doors and windows ought necessarily be kept open in Summer for venti lation, but if open, especially in Hamilton street, atm& of dust are blown in, 4 lltrid not only injure the liner, fabrics but every kind of goods. . . Mow annoying must it be, to a thrifty house wife to find every evening her parlor and fur niture covered over With dust, that were so care fully cleaned in the morning. The greatest evil it inflicts, is on our health. We know that pectoral diScases are most rav ishing in our climate, and that we shotild be particularly careful to avoid every thing that may have a tendency to iritate the system or predispose it to disease of the lungs. Dust is composed of fine particles of stones or sand, which is indigestable by any of the animal secretions, and if it finds its way into the sys tem, and is lodged in the lungs, exerts a most deleterious influence on that organ, and may pave the way to consumption. Will the citizens come forward and aid in removing this evil We know they will! We know every one prefers a clean and comforta ble street to a muddy or dusty one. In hot days we pant for refreshing showers to allay the dust, like the weary traveller over the des ert of Sahara. To remove the unpleasentness of our streets, they should be paved or Macad- amized, which would keep them good in wet and comfortable in dry weather. What could be more delicious in a town, than clean streets, occasionally wetted in Summer. Our streets • are the only .objections that strangers have to our place. We know of a number of inacid uals, that would have located themselves here, had it notbeen for our unpleasant Streets. We will devise no plan, but let the matter rest With the citizens and town council, to adopt one for this improvement. Money that is expended for the improvement of 'a place is not lost; every improvement, decorative, hygein or use ful adds eo much to the value of every kind of property. Pictorial Brother Jonathan •The MamMoth Pictorial Brother Jonathan, containing one hundred and twenty engravings, published by Wilson and Co., No. 15 Spruce street, NeUr York, is now ready Sur" delivery, and will be furnished by mail or otherwise at 124 cents pe copy, or 10 copies for 1. dollar. The Country. Nature never showeth her handiwork to bet ter advantage than at the present period. The eye is charmed with the rich mantle of living green that decks the landscape, the sylvan groves and "grand old Woods." Those con fined by their occupation to some confined apartment, cannot ride forth and view the beautiful aspect of the country, withouj ex pressing delight and admiration. The vision 0 I cal moot stretch forth over the broad farms of well tilled acres, contemplate the quiet which reigns around the neat farm house, surrounded with fair shrubbery and fruitful trees, without wishing to share its pleasing retirement. The industrions - farmer-must-earn-his-bread-by_the sweat of his brow, but his ii the life, and his the home "for 'a that." Whitewash Your Fences, &o How much more neatly a habitation ap pears to the eye if the fences, trees &c., around it are whitewashed once or twice a year, than if suffered to wear their old dingy appearance. We have noticed the contrast and invite ever• one to do likewise. The improi•ed appearance well repays for all the trouble and expense. The pearly white agrees so beautifully with the deep green spread out by nature on every hand, that the cheap decoration should not be neglected by any one. The Gold Dollar Several thousands of the diminutive speci men of the good and "lawful currency of the United States" are in circulation and, hav• ing found their way into the interior, have met with every kind of reception. Some think them entirely too small, and liable to be'lost— others, that they are sweet little things, very handsome and very convenient. liy one por tion of the community, however, they are held in perfect abhorrance we mean the bankers and brokers. In their opinion, the gold dollar is a contemptible, sneaking., insignificant, dir ty affair. Reason—they interfere with the one dollar bills of their own manufactories. We have a small lot of the little devils on hand, and will exchange them to our friends, who wish to use them as pocket pieces. Strike by the Boatmen From the Whig of yesterday, we learn that the situation of things on the Canal at Easton, has become alarming. Contributions were lev ied upon Morris and other Boats, as the terms upon which they were permitted _to pass, if re fused, the boatmen were brutally assaulted by those on the "strike." A quarrel took place on Saturday night, between a boatman who wished to proceed, to which the other objected. The fight was with dirk knives, near the sec ond lock, below South Easton, where the dead body of Andrew Schuler ; was found on Sunday morning about day-light. A coroner's Jury was summoned, and the verdict was "came to his death by a wound inflicted with a sharp instru ment by the hands of Joseph Ambruster, oa the night of the 26th instant." • Ambruster was apprehended in the cabin of ! his boat, and is now in jail to await his trial. ' fie received but one wound, which though se •.l pot vonsidpriql mortni received but one blow which entered left of the navel and pierced him nearly through. . The Sheriff on Monday last, by marching lover with a strong posse, and the two military companies under Captains Voile and flora, suc ceeded in opening a passage up the canal.— The military arrived at the outlet lock, at this point the principal blockade existed, the boats not only closed the entrance of the canal, but !formed a bridge across the Lehigh to Easton.— Thousands of citizens of both sexes occupied the hills on both sides of the river, anxiously watch ing the course of events—filled with fearful anti cipations that the boatmen would resist, and some lives be sacrificed. But no opposition was loffered -29 persons were taken and imprisoned, , and the boatmen dispersed. Respect for Parents If children could realize but a small portion of the anxiety their parents feel on their ac count, they would pay far greater respect to the parental wishes. A good child, and one in whom confidence can be placed, is the one who does not allow himself to disobey his pa rents, nor to do anything when his parents are absent, that he has reason to believe they would disapprove were they present. The good ad vice of parents.is often engraven on the heart of the child, that after years of care and toil do not efface it; and in the hour of tetnpution the thought of a parent has been 'the salvation of the child, though the parent may be sleeping in the grave, and the ocean may roll between that sacred Spot and the tempted child. A small token of parental affection, borne about the person, especially a parent's likeness would frequently prove a talisman for good. A Pol ish prince was accustomed to carry the picture of his father always in his bosom; and on any particular occasion he would look upon it and say : "Let me do nothing unbecoming so ex cellent a father." Such respect for a father or a mother, is one of the best traits in the champ , ter of a son or a daughter. "Honor they father I and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, is the first commandment with promise,".says the sacred book, and happy is the child, that acts accordingly. Sartain Union Magazine, For June, is a very handsome number, offer. ing among the principal embellishments, one of Sartain's sweetest mezzotints—the "Roman Scrivener,` from a painting by Sant, B. Wang,h —awl a tine line engravkug, the "Prophecy of the Flower," by Triplet: Bannister; not to speak of two large and well executed wood engrav ings, one after a design by Darley with fashion plates, flower pieces, &e. The literary con tents comprise a continuation of Mr. Wiley's novel, ‘litonoke, with articles by Willis, Tuckerman, Herbert Professor Alden, Mrs,,Sig ourney, Mrs. Kirkland, Mrs. Osgood, and other well 'f4OVill writers. Cotton Factories The people of Lancaster, (Penn.) have built two large Steam Cotton Factories, within the last two or three years, and have raised within a few days past over 5160,000 towards the cap ital of another. The capital of this third Com pany is to be $200,000, about the same amount as that of each of the two previous Companies. Since this manufacturing enterprise sprang up in 1836, the population of that city has increas ed from 8,000 to 13,000, and we do not doubt that in three years more it will reach 20,000. All kinds of business have increased in propor tion, and Lancaster bids fair to be the second city in the state in a few years. The Press of Ahat_city—who_set.theiballin_motion=are very justly elated at the flattering prospect before them. Lancaster had stood precisely at the point from which it started in 1836 for twenty years, and would have stood their for twenty more, but for the Manufacturing spirit that seized her people. We learn that the sturdy Farmers, "the til lers of the soil," of old Lancaster are investing their surplus capital in the Manufacturing Com panies of that city. The new Company will go into operation under the Manufacturing law passed at the lust session of our Legisiature.— In additioa to this .miterprise, the citizens of Lancaster are also engaged in forming a stock company to light the city with gas. One half of the stock is already disposed ffir, with a fair view of disposing of the other half. Thus one improveMent is the means of advancing another. The bitizens of York ; (Pa.) arc about to hold a public meeting for the purpose of adopting measures to secure capital sufficient to erect and put into operation a Cotton Factory, at that place. • From the Reading papers, we too learn, that a meeting was to have been held at that place, on Saturday evening last, to take into consid eration the feasibility of erecting a Cotton Fac tory'. From the enterpise that the citizens of Reading displayed in beautifying and improv ing their city, we are inclined to believe, that the means to establish a Manufactory of this kind can very easily be procured. How is it with our beautiful AllentoWn ? Are we to remain mute in this great question of irn- Provement Shall we content ourselves, meer ly to see our neighbors around us, establish their Rolling Mills, their Cotton Factories, &c &c.? We hope not! We call upon the public Press—which we are sorry to say, has been too negligent in laying bare the advantages that the country in and about Allentown pre,•ents for the establishmeut of all kinds of Mantifac tories. The Press is the motive power, in mat ters of this kind, and much can be effected if it extends a helping hand in its support. We have within a few miles of our town, no less than five large Anthracite. Furnaces., with two more going up this season, making seven in all —they will on an average run from six to seven hundred tons of pig metal per week. This' is now transported from hero to other places, and manulactured into bar bon, nails, and thou sands of other articles of merchandize. Thos, we see the necessity of having nt least a Roll or near Allentown. We have been positively assured that thousands of tons of Rolled Iron, Nails, &c., is now brought from Reading to this place on wheels, which of course enhanses the cost of these heavy ar ticles considerable, all of which is paid out of the pocket 'of the consumer, whereas, if simi lar establishments were erected in our midst, not only would the consumer be benefited, but the honest hardworking laborer would find additional employment. A Cotton Factory is what we have long since needed, and next to a Rolling Mill, we know of no branch of busi ness, that promises abetter return for the in vestment of capital than the manufacture of Cotton goods. It alsowould give employment to young boys and girls, who now idle about our streets, and annoy the citizens. Let the peo ple of Allentown and vicinity take this matter into consideration, and see whether we cannot raise the means to erect either one or the other: How to Prevent the Cholera A correspondent olthe New York Journal of Commerce says, that i town in Tennessee has entirely escaped the ens' of the cholera, the past winter, not a ens of it having occurred there, notwithstanding very town in the vicin ity suffered from it se rely. This has been attributed, and no dot t correctly, to the free and universal use 011 ck lime, fresh from the kilns,.which was scan ed through the gutters, cellers, privies and ands. Its disinfecting qualities seizing with . itlity on all impure and deleterious gases are ell knoWn, and where plentifully used will; n doubt, under ordinary IL. circumstances of prude c and cleanliness, pre serve the !width of at .ities, towns or villages in the United Slater N Washington ...tional Monument. The Secretary of ids Society has been in structed to repeat, t i tt . the Board of Managers will be pleased to eive a block of marble, i t granite, or any och e nimble stone, from eve ry State in the rule to be placed in an appro priate position in th ointment. These blocks should be of the ft wing dimensions, viz: Four fr et long, two et high, and eighteen inches in depth. A s it is it 'wed to place these stones at every landing o to stair case, any substan tial material will a wer, when marble or gran he cannot be foun The name of the state from which it tom should be engraved upon it, In letters &Alf' tly large to be easily read.

Cholera, Homcepathy, &0., The following account, taken from the Cincin nati Times, speaks volumes in favor of the prac tice, of this new system of medicine, even in its application to the dreadful disease of Cholera. Read it and reflect thereon : "Three Homrepathic physicians report their cases of cholera, from 20th of-April up to the I oth I of May, to number one-hundred and fifty-two of i which there has only been one death. Another Homcepathic practioner reports for the last two weeks eighty-eight cases of cholera in his prac tice and no death. Besides these, we learn that there are eight other Homalopathic practitioners, who have been eminently successful. None of the above, we understand, have been reported to Ake - board - of healthThe-ratio-of-eures-to-cases treated in this city, by Homeopathy, so far as we have learned, are about the same compared with ! those under Allopathic treatment, as is generally found everywhere—that is to say as ten to one in favor of the new system." Dr. Drake, a physician of Cincinnati, whose acquaintance with this disease is said to he as extensive as that of any practitioner in the West, has published some suggestions on the subject, which we think worthy of notice : 1. That leaving the city can do no possible good. The disease is not contagious. The cause of it has already spread through the city and been received into the bodies of the inhabitants. Those who escape to the country are more like ly to be ill, than if they remained home. 2. Epidemic cholera has no premonitory symp toms. The diarrlitra, which is supposed to be its forerunner, is the disease itself, in its first stage; as positively so as when it has advanced to vomiting, or coldness and collapse. 3. The disease may be generally stopped, if met in that early stage; if it cannot then it can not afterwards. It cannot even then if the pa tient continues on his feet. His life depends on his lying by. 4. All persons who have worn flannel during the winter should keep it on, until the epedemic has passed away Dreadful Fire On Thursday night, the 24th inst., between 12 and 1 o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. William Lash, in Cumru township, Barks county, a two story stone budding, situated on the Harrisburg turnpike, about two miles from this city, and known as Good's old tavern-stand, was entirely ! destroyed by fire, together with all its furniture and contents. When the family were aroused from sleep, the house was already enveloped in flames, and they had barely time to escape, with a few articles of clothing that were near at hand, before everything was consumed but the black ened walls of the building. It is not known how the fire originated, but from .the fact that art attempt was made the night previous, to break in to the house, it is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The family took tea early in the evening, and when retiring to bed, there was not fire enough anywhere in the hoarse, to kindle a blaze sufficient to light a candle, without some exertion. Mr. Lash's loss cannot fall short of ;45,000 or f 6,000. He very fortunately had an insurance upon both house and furniture in the Sinking Spring Company, though to what amount we did not learn.—Rending Gazelle, Pensylvania Bible Society. The forty-first Anniversary of this excellent in stitution was celebrated at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening of last week. The Rev. Dr. Mayer presided. The ser vices commenced by the reading of a portion of the Scripture by the Rev. John Chambers, when a beautiful prayer was made by the President. The Rev. Mr. Howe read an abstract from the. annual report, which states that 53,876 copies of the Scriptures were issued during the past year. Since the year 1840, there have been issued the large number of 360,000 copies of Bibles and Testaments. The receipts the past year amount ed to $22,517 62. showing an increase in funds of $1,308 66 over the receipts of the previous year. .Thirty life members have been added the past year, and - several legacies granted to the Society. The sum of $3,000 was appropriated the past year fur foreign fields, and $5,000 have been resolved upon for the present year for a like purpose Excellent addresses were made by the Rev. Dr. Holdich, the ReV. Mr. Goddard and the Rev. Dr. Parker, when the deeply inter esting ceremonies closed with a doxology. Wreck of the Empire The New York Tribune gives the following af fecting incident of the wreck 9f the ill-fated steamer Empire. It is affirmed to Le strictly cur- I=l After the Empire was struck, and while sink ing, two mothers snatched what. they supposed to be their own infants, and rushed upon deck, and in their own fright, threw themselves into ithe_water.. _One of the devoted. parents held the child to her bbsom, and both were saved; while the other sustained hers till it breathed its last, yet still holding on to the body until she was res• cued.. The surprise of the mothers may be ima gined, when they discovered that in the confusion attending their escape, they had _each taken the other's child. And while the poor woman who had supposed that her little one was lost, pressed to her bosom her own babe, the other Was fran tic with grief to find too late that she had pre sery ed another's child and lost her own. • Desiruelire Fire.— The Iron Foundry and ma chine shop, at Fremont, Schuylkill county, Pa., which was erected only about two years ago, by Messrs.

Comptroller of Me Treasury.—lt is stated► on good authority, that Elibha Whittlesey, of Ohio, has. been appointed First Complrollbr of the Treasury; in place of McCulloch. President Taylor The Washington correspondent of the Bahl- More Patriot gives the following description of Gen. Taylor's appearance in public : The day being fine, the number of persons was very large, and the display of beauty and fashion unusual even on such an occasion. At an early hour the President made his appearance in the portico of the White House,and soon afterwards descended to the garden, and mixed with the company. He passed round and exchanged sa lutations with all who approached him, and seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion with as much zest as any one presenl. It was truly a gratifying sight to see the most exalted officer in, the government, one towards whom_we_are_accustomed_to look with a feelin' somewhat akin to awe,descending from his high position, and taking his place among the most humble in the community. .How beautifully such an incident illustrates the gentua and pecu liar characthr of our institutions. I heartily wish every citizen in the land could have seen Gen. Taylor yesterday, as he moved about among the crowd,conversing familiarily with his friends and acquaintances, and manifesting ,no desire whateva to attract attention. If this had been, so, I am convinced it would have added greatly to the number of his friends. Bo much simplic ity and affability, united to a sturdy manly hear ing, could not have failed to win the esteem of every right-minded individual. As for myself, I seldom ever witnessed a sight that itilioded me more satisfaction. The General is in excellent health, and reali zes, in his appearance, the very character we have so often heard ascribed' to him. He is re• markably vigorous and hale, and in every move ment shows that his constitution and physical abilities are very little, if at all, impaired. He..., looks as though he might go through nearly as many campaigns as he has already done, and suffer much by it. His dress was that of a plain ! citizen, and in style and quality inferior to that of a majority of those present. The gratifica tion at witnessing his presence on the occasion seemed to be universal, and it no doubt was the more remarked, from the circumstance that it is' a long time since a similar spectacle has been present. Nullification From the proceeedings of a State Convention which assembled at Columbia, in South Carolina, on the 14tli instant, we are led to believe that the spirit of nullification, is as rampant in that State as it ever was. That convention assembled for the purpose of taking into consideration what measures ought to be adopted-by the people of that State in case of the passage of the Wilmot proviso at the next session of Congress. Among the propositions introduced, was one requesting the Governor to convene the legishi tore, on the passage of the Wilmot pr6iso, or the abolition of slavery in the District of (Num- bia : and also a series of resolutions, recommend ing a system of non-intercourse by the South with the North. We have not learned what furth er action has been taken on those measures ;and we shall, therefore, refrain from commenting on this remarkable convention, until after we shall have received a report of its proceeding. This convention is an offset to that held in In et A itcplct. Appointment y . Drpuly twhotiy E. Roberts, Esq., the new ❑. S.

But $359 02, says the Montgomery Ledger, have been contributed for the Monument to Gov. chunk, which his friends design erecting to his memory at the Trappe. This is a vety trifling snm considering it comes from all sections of the cotninonwealth. The exalted life, public services, and wide spread popularity of Gov. Spunk, one would have been led to suppose, would have called forth a more liberal contribution limn his many wealthy friends. Influence of 31unufitclures.—In 1830, the popu lation of Manchester, N. H., was 877; in 1840, 3,235. By a recent census it appears that the present population is 14,542, an increase ahnom without a parallel. The number of males is 5,028 ; females, 8,914 ; excess of females, 2,686; gain in two last years, 2,256. It is . estitnated that by the Ist ofluly the population will be full 15,000, as the new fac!ory will add several hun dred to the present number. . Drowned.

Adrenturera Returning.—We see in almost every paper that reaches us from the NVest, a me cord of the disappointed hopes anti accumula ting griciance of those who seek fur California as the short road to be rich. Many of these ad ventures and mishaps arc laughable in the ex. treme, and the effect in some instances is so pow erful, as to induce the weary and harassed erni. grant to turn his back upon the gold lautl,and .seek in the laaants he has left, the mod, rate com petence and the content of his rough experience Will enable to wisely appreciate and fully enjoy.

Mr. and Mrs. Apple have been living to gether as husband and wife for some twenty years, and have raised a large family of child ren ! Their re-marriage was made necessary by the following mysterious train ofcircumstan ces, as we learn by a friend who was present at the examination of the case in the circuit court now in session in this city. Mr. John Ap ple) many years ago left this county as a vol unteer to the Black Ilan k war. During hip ab sence a traveller passed through the county, who iniormed Mrs. A. that her husband had been killed, that he, the traveller, had aided in burying him, and had marked, with an aye, the tree under which he was interred. Apple did not return, and no doubt was watertaineti ' by his wife or her friends of his decease. Time passed on, nothing was heard to discredit the traveller's story, and Mrs. A. after having continued for a proper length of time in a state l of supposed widowhood was formally married to 111 r. Henry Apple, a farmer of this county, with whom the has since cohabited. A levy months since, it was authentically ascertained that John Apple was actually living! A div orce was obtained by Airs. Apple, and . she was re-married as above stated, to Henry Apple, the man with whom she had been innocently living for many years past as her supposed husband. We have heard no cause assigned. Mr the signlar manner in which the first hus band acted.—linliens Stale Journ a l. ..116gatur F;gld.—Among, the onvelcome inci dents attendant upon the crevasse at New Or leans, not the least ditagreeble has been the vis its made by alligators to the vicinity of the breach. The workmen cannot of course pro ceed with their labors with any degree of calm ness, while under fear of losing a leg at a single snip of an alligator's jaws, and there have been fights of a furious character.
