The Declioation
The dedication of the Odd Fellows' Hall.
will take place on Monday the 20th instant.—
The Hall billow finished from the basement to
the dome. 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.

When thi, moderri Ophirrikriti first revealed.
on the shores of the PaCifitt i tfayd, the-Home
Journal,: our -economists, in -anticipatiott.e4
treasures '-not then certain, to be' realized,:
dulged in very startling discussions of the:prob . -
able effect of this grent,augmentalien 'of the
currency upon the prices of Hying. 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. Such is the natural coot mere be
tween old relined lands and new wealthy.
ones. We gk'e souls for singers, and get mim
ics in exchange for minds. ‘Vo can hardly
say that the balance of trade is in our favor.
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. IVe consider the subject or a
Tariff and Ilank l ing, fur instance, entirely as
business matteis, and of right should lint be
treated as party questions—and our head for a
loot-ball, it nine-tenths of sensible men don't
agreewith us that they should be so consid
ered. These are our sentiments exactly.

Several specimens of American antiquities
have recently arrived in this city. '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. The .Egyptian
gallery of the British Museum contains several

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
