It is really a magnificent edifice, an ornament to the borough—chaste, elegant, and well proportioned—fronting on Hamilton street 36 feet, on which is the main entrance, and on a ptiblic Alloy 61 feet. It is besides the basement three blot ies high, and front the sidewalk Witte top of the level cornice 45 feet high. The workmanship is in true Corinthian style of architecture. The ma son and plastering work was under the super intendance of 61r. Joseph Nonnemaeher, and the carpenter %Volk under the superintendance of Messrs. B. and E. Balliet, both of whom de serve much credit for their superior taste of mechanism. The basement or underground floor is divid ed in three apartments, and is occupied by Messrs. Stetticr George, as a redaurateur, or Eating-house. There are two entrances into said basement from Hamilton st., and the front room is 3,5 feet wide by 45 deep. One of the rear rooms is used as a kitchen and the other as a colter, which makes it very commodious to the. establishment. On the first floor there are three rooms, and Hall of entraae, one of which is occupied as an Ice Cream Saloon, the other is occupied by Messrs. Keck 4. Trudi, as a Merchant Tailor ing Establishment. The whole of the second story is one large and spacious I-tall, which is rented by the As• soeiation to Exhibitions. of a public nano-!. The third story has besides an anteqthamb.lr, a very splendid and beautiful papered and decorated Lodge room. Thismorn is occupied by Unity Encampment No 12, Allen Lodge No 71, and Lehigh Lodge No. 83. The meet ings of the Encampment are held rdi the even. ings of the first and third Thursday of every month. The meetings of Ancit, on Saturday, and of Lehigh, on Monday, of every week. Subscriptions for the building of the Hall were solicited in the summer. of 1848, and in the full of the same year, the association was organized under the name, style and title of "The Odd Fellows' flail Association" of Allen town. In the Spring of 1847, the building of the Hall was commenced, and in the stunner of 1848, before the same was yet finished, the devouring elements that laid waste so lunch property on the Ist of June of that year, also demolished this building. With the kind assistance, however, of the brethren of 'the Lodges abroad and the perse verance of those at home, it was again deter mined upon, to rebuilt the stone. The ruins wore accordingly removed, and a commence ment to rebuild was made early in the Spring of 1849. The Hall is now finished, and as be fore strited, is tin ornament tb the limn. e The cost of the building is paid by stock, and ie between eight and nine thousand dollars.— The rents of tho different apartments, it is cal culated %fill pay the interest on the entire cost. The Encampment and subordinate Lodges in Allentown, arc in a very prosperous condi tion, and through the instrumentality of its Members,has this beautiful building been erect ed. It is also true that tnauy of our enterpris. ing citizens who do not belong to the Order, have lent a helping hand by their liberal sub kriptions of stock. Inanother column of to•day's paper will be found a programme of the dedication, issued by the Chief Marshall, to which we invite the particular attention of our readers. If the Weather is favorable our .

The Commissioners named in the Act of As. sembly passed this session, incorporating a Gas Company in Easton . ; have already taken the matter in hand.

Sham then, the golden dreams of that hear of astonishment and hope have been more than fulfilled. The slate of things then wildly prophecied has come to pass in sober actuality. Vet the alarm which, as a prediction ; was so vivid, has no existence when the pradietion has bemene a presence.— e'alifornia has, during the last rear, sent to England and America, not lelis than thirty mil lions of gold. We may expect, with confidence, two millions a month during the,present year, with a probability of this supply being contin ued, and even increased, during coming years. It is impossible that so sudden and immense an increase in the circulation should not: tell with marked Oleo upon the values of all sorts of commodities. 'fhe . banks . of Englaott acid France„ and those of this country also, are full to repletion of bullion, and their paper issues must soon increase in neatly the same propnr timt. The prices of real estate ill this have advanced astonishingly, and .are ad yam.- ing at every stile that is mde. stocks have risen as decidedly, aml. that "market" is in a highly feverish state, just 'catty to goloati.— Strikes for higher wages are becoming com mon among all classes of mechanies. Every , thing indicates the approach of one of those great expansions which alter the standard of values, t o ad make greater revolutions iu , society than the sword of the comieror, or the "barriers" and paving•siones of the !nob. l\* hat will - he the (-fleet of this upon at tails class of our oldest and best sociwiy? It is ob vious that all those who depend upon fixed incomes will be unable to sustain themselves in the ,general enhancement of the prices of every description of articles, and will be forc ed to retire to cheaper countries. 'they can not very well hope that the tide of in flamation will speedily ebb, a 3 it has done when it arose front bank expansions. The pre.-tent increase of the circulation, consisting, a; it does, in an addition of precious metal, and not of paper credits, will be perinanent, or at least lung eon tinued. If the supply from the should wholly stop after a year or two, the uses of lux ury would absorb a portion of die excess; but that will be • extvarnely show relief. Our an nitants, tol holders of perpetual rents, will have to errs to the poorer conatties'of Europe. -I'h . o wisdom of bonds and mortgages is likely to he exploded. Italy, Switzerland, the South of France, will hereafter hold a large number of our oust pat r ician circles. It is the high rate of living iu England', and the large num ber of persons there who are what they there term "inemne•livers," that keep Su large a pro. portion of the thitish gentry in a state or per. inaocot oxile. The same causes here %vitt woik at sintilar result; and while France and Italy are coming here in the shape ol operas and cirensys, we shall be going thither in the persons of ladies and gentlemen of moderate settled fortunes, drowned out by a freshet of prbsperity.

Our Rule and Will We wish it distinctly understood, says the Pottstown Ledger, that items or editorials ap pearing in the' business department found in our paper, are published, not as Matter, but as truth and good policy, as near as our men tal conceptions and knowledge of the history of the world and wants of the commuuity, will permit us to arrive thereat, without any design to have our views and opinions leg:wiled as published for political effect, further than they may find favor with the reader as being wise, just and politic.

Upon the subject heading this article we agree with him exactly ; when he says-"Do not send abroad for help, if you have work to do—when it can he done in your own neighborhood—perhaps at your next door. Encourage your own hon est, industrious, faithful mechanics. They need all the work they can get. 'By such a course you keep your money at home—assist rho wortity and havejust as good work perform ed. It is the only way to make a town pros. per—to support your schools and your church es. Where there is a disposition to send a hundred miles for artieles that, to say the least ; could be manufactured as well at your own door, there will always be little or nu business done in the place—and churches will' be thinly anemia and all kinds of labor extremely dull. Wherever mechanics arc the best employed, prosperity is seen--the social virtues predoini nate—travellitrg mountebanks and pedlars re tire in disgust ; and a kindly, brotherly feeling is experienced, which is the source of unspeak able happiness. Whatever you have to be done, look around ;ma see if your neighbors cannot do it. If you have a house to build, Or a shoe to tap, it har ness to be made, or a pump to be bored, a pack of cards to be . printed, Or a wall to be Aug, just look among your neighbOrs, before you under take to send abroad, and if you have none 'able of the task, it will be time I={l enough to look elsewhere.

'They were discovered by an American traveller whilst ex ploring the country of the Sierra Made, near San Louis Potosi, Mexico, and excavated front the ruins of an ancient city, the existence of which is Wholly unknown to the present inhabi tants, either by tradition or history. They corn prise two idols and a sacrificial basin, hewn from solid' blocks of concrete sandstone, and are now in the most perfect slate of preservation.— The removal of these heavy pieces of statuary from the mountain i; was accomplished by means of wooden sleds; Transported by canoes to the mouth of the Panuce, and frotn thence shipped to this port. The largest of the idols was un• doubtedly the God of Sacrifice, and one of the most important. It is of life site, and"the only complete specimen of the hind that has ever beer discovered and brought away from the country—several attempts having been made by travellers, who were either thwarted by the na tives, or encountered difficulties deemed im practicable to overcome. The anatomical pro portions and beauty of this statue are not admir ed at the present day, but the elaborate work, upon its entire sUrface attracts at once the num non and scrutiny of the beholder. It is princi pally ornamental, interspersed with symbols of mythology, and occasional hieroglyphics. It has two faces, representing youth and old age ;signi fying that none' are exempt from offering life as a sacrifice. The . right hand forms an aperture in which a light burned during the time of sacri fice. The small idol is the God of Sorrow, to whom worshippers came to offer up their devo tions fur the tears it shed, and the relief afforded them in their griefs. This statue is diminutive, the carvings plain, and the whole simply devis ed. The Sacrificial Dasin measures two feet in diameter, and displays Dutch shill and truth in the workmanship. It is held by two serpei. entwined, with their heads reversed—the symbol of eternity, which enters largely into the mythol ogy of the ancient Egyptians.

Low Headed Fruit Trees 13y having low headed fruit trees, the sun; which is, perhaps, in our hot and dry summers, the cause of more disease and d6struction in fruit trees than all other diseases together, is kept from almost literally scalding the sap, as it does in long, naked trunks and limbs. The limbs and leaves.of a tree should always effectually shade the trunk and keep it cool. The leaves, only, should have plenty of sun and light ; ihey can hear and profit by it. If ter es were suffered to branch out low, say within one or two feet of the ground, We should hear very much less of "fire blight,"—"frozen sap blight, - black spots, and the like. The ground is always looser, moister, and cooler under a lost , branching tree than un der a high one. Grass and weeds do not grow a hundredth pat t so tank and readily, and mulching becomes unnecessary. The wind has not half the power to rack and twist, arid break the tree. and shake off the fruit; a matter of no inconsid erable consequence. The trees will be much longer lived and more prolific., beautiful and profitable. The trees are more easily rid of des. , tructivc insects, the fruit is much less damaged by falling, and the facilities for gathering it are much greater; there is less danger in clhnbiner and less of breaking limbs. The trees require less pruning and scraping, and washing; and the roots are protected front the plocgh, which is fao often made It tear and mutilate them: Paper fir Rooffv.—M.
