Its intentions are very pointed and wo must admit well applied, but as the °tied is hard ly worth the ammunition expended upon it, we will withhold the communication until we can have n personal interview with the writer. .ffir Joseph H. Acteharit, N..sq., the newly electiid Sheriff of Lehigh euuniy, returned from Harrieburg_ with his commission, and enter ed upon the duties of his office on Monday deal. He has selected R.-E. Wright, as his At. torney, and Charles P. Heintz, as his Assistant. Mr. Newhard has been brought up as an ac tive business man, and we have no doubt will snake an excellent Sheriff. Balloon Ascension Mr. Putty, who was to make a Balloon As cension from Allentown ; on Saturday last, re quested us to state, that the unfavorable state of the weather in the morning and other una• voidable causes—although all was done in his power—prevented him from effecting Ids pur pose.

In 1839 several enterprising citizens of Philg adelphia, determined to erect a furnace for the Manufacture of anthracite iron, a process which had then been only recently discovered and brought into use by Al. Crane, in England.— They selected a piece of ground on the Lehigh canal, 'three miles above Allentown, Lehigh county, in which iron ore of excellent quali ty and limestone wore found in close proxim ity. Late in 1839 the timber was cut from the ground, and in 1840 a furnace was erected ca pable of producing 4000 lons of pig metal an. ually. During the summer we visited the place and found the funace had jest been blown in. Three or four houses had been Greeted that year and several others we're in progress for the workmen, being the only build ings _within some distance of the place. The experiment succeeded, and under the tariff at 1842, the proprietors erected that year another furnace to produce 5000 tons, and another in 1840, propelled by steam, of 7200 tons. In 1849 two additional furnaces of 8000 tons each were commenced, which were completed eat ly in 1850, and put into blast. These works belong to the same proprietors, the "Crane Iron Co." During a summer excursion we vis ited this place in July last, and rotund it had he. come A. large town, erected entirely for those who are dependent upon and engaged in these works. This is another evidence of the advantage of encouraging our home manufactures. Adjoining Crites:m(oa is Bierysport. It, too, is dependant upon these furnaces for employ ment, and contains a population of 400 or 500 persons, principally employed in these works. The whole population of Catasauqua is 884, viz: 245 front Ireland;' 58 from AVales; 32 from Germany; 9 from England; 4 front Scot land ; and 557 were born hi the United States. Cost of oar, coal and limestone consumed $250,000. In 1850 the product of these furna ces will be 25,000 tons. Carrying Concealed Weapons in answer to numerous inquiries, and as a matter of general information, we publish the following section in relation to carrying con cealed weapons. It has not been published in the Pamphlet Laws of last session, as it was in corporated in an omnibus bill on which the tax has not been paid : Sect. 14. That hereafter any person within the limits of the city and county of Philadel phia, who shall carry any firearms, slung shot or other deadly weapons concealed upon his person, with the intent therewith - unlawfully end maliciously to do injury to any other per son, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemean or, and upon conviction thereof, shall be Ben teneed to undergo solitary confinement at hard labor, in the. prison of said county, for a period of not less than one month nor more than one year,. at the discretion of the court; , and theju ry trying the case may, infer such , intent as aforesaid, from the fact of the said defend ant carrying auch.weapon in the manner afore- The above is a.seotion in a bill passed by the laist-Legislature, and approved 13th. May, A. ri. Life Insurance We have been pleased to learn that the Ex ecutors of the Estate of Mr. James A. Rice,de ceased, of Bethlehem, have received from the Secretary of the 'Wenn Mtitual Life insurance Company," four thousand dollars, as the amount insured by that Company on the life of the said deceased. V:be payment of this amount d'as promptly made upon proof of his death. We take occasion to call the attention isf our readers to the importance of Cife !Insurance, ; and to say to every person in moderate circum stances, that it would be well for him to use this means of seeming something to his fami ly, in case ho should be Tommed from them by death. Indeed, it is a pMaitive duty which he owes to those who look to him for suste nance: For a small percentage, every person can secure to his .family an amount sufficient * fur their support . ; end .no man who has a wile and children dependent upon his exertions, for the Necessaries of life, ahoulel neglect this im portant matter. For a few dollars he eon have o the satisfaction of knowing, that when ho ran no longer minister to their ,wartils, they will be well provided for. Every young imsiness mail, who lives and supports his family by his. own exertions, should give this. matter his , se How, attention ; it most deeply interests him, and those who look up to him lor sustenance. 111 r. Rice has secured to his family four thou sand dollars, 8 uffivient with his other estate, (we are informed) to place them above want. lie was a worthy citizen, and by securing this amount upon the termination of his avle , Ihvas giyen another evidence that he was a worthy hushand and parent . In justice to the Penn Mutual Life Insu rance Company ; we would say that the prompt ness with which the meant was paid, before it was demanded, and without making any de ductions whatever, speaks well for them. Their Agent in Redikhem is Ernst F. fleck, and in Easton Me E'vers Furman —Eaqtonion. Other COPRIMIIICS we have every reason to believe are as good, and prompt in all apper- taining to their business. In our columns will be found the advertisement el the Girard Life insurance Company, for which we are the Agent. H. 1., Wright, Esq., is the Agent for the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. A Village Press The following is the correct language of some brother typo. IVe hope the citizen's of this place will read the extract and profit thereby : '(Perhaps no One establishment is of more advantage lo a corn unily Man that of.a news paper press. A newspaper in a village advan- COB the interest of all trades, professions and callnigs, by drawing to its vicinity much busi ness that would otherwise be diverted 'Woolli er channels; and by giving protninCle`c and notoriety abroad, to the business capabilities and other advantages of such village. The press is, as it were, the special counsel of the town wherein it is located—pleading in many eases without fee or reward; and- in some in stances conveying light and heat to establish ments which might otherwise "drag their slow length along" in utter obsetnity." There are probably dozens of individuals in this place who take papers from elsewhere; to the total neglect of the one in their own bo rough. This is a discouraging fact for the prin ter, and a shameful one for the citizen so act inu, for we believe—pardon the vanity if the belief is vain—we believe that the home jour nal, if read ' attentively, will be found, more useful and instructive than any from a distance. 11 our friends in this barring!' who believe with us in this matter, will remind those 'who un thinkingly send all their newspaper patronage to other places, that it is impolitic and unrea sonable, we might neVer have occasion to speak of it again; and if they care anything about their home paper they will do so.—Potts. Ledger. That's the Talk "What a grumbling, discontented set of dun ces we mortals•nre! We might all easily be happy, but we won't be happy except on our own terms. One determines to ho rich—an !eller sets his heart upon being learned—the pout most have celebrity—the deinagogue must have oflice,-ilie coquette must have admirers the dandy must have toggety and re nown. lint happiness is not wealth, nor wis-: dem, nor power, nor admiration, nor applause. Happiness is the buoyaucY of the hean. When the heart is languid, we droop—when it is cor roded, we ache—and when it is torpid, we die. • The best.of all earthly blessings is a lively, merry temper, that laughs at cam and trouble, and makes fun 01 the unreasonableness it might not unreasonably complain of —,a felicity of na ture that never blubbers nor whines, but culls and preserves always the roses of life, without condescending to look at a thorn or a nettle It iã the possession or non-possession of this disposition that makes the difference whether our existence is a pleasure or a task—whether we skate over life with charming rapidity, or wend our way slowly and wearily; like the la den pack-horse. To a person of rightly constituted Mind; the world is full of materials for happiness; it is happiness to live and snuff the air—happiness to stroll over the earth, and behold all that is lovely, beautiful and sublime—happiness to trace the ways of God in his wonderful works -'happiness to mingle and commune with our fellow men—happiness to do good to others, and receive kindness from them in return.— Care, it is said, killed a cat, and with this bad example before us, we are determined hence forth to be more wary of the villinn, and, in stead of allowing peevishness or selfishness to take.possession of us utder•circumsiances of annoyance or. wrong, to rally the household of joy and mirth, and hours with rosy fingers and 'scarlet lips, and'put the blua•devils to flight and you will then be happy." Composition Rooft Within the past two weeks, we have receiv- . ed not a few common'icaiionsabout cheap roof ing. One inquires about "the preparation of paper for roofs," and another about "a cheap composition for them." We will, not>• present what we call a method of making very cheap roofs: Let the roof boards be fastened down as Close as possible; then take cheap cotton cloth —say about 6d. per yard—cud nail it down, taking' particular care that no seam shall be over any board seam : then have ready a vessel with mineral tar, that is, the tar made at any coal gas works, and icy on with mlitroe brush, or otherwise, a heavy coat of this, laying it smooth—then take a lot of clean sand, stret• it thickly all over the tar; then take a roller, or something to roll over Om sand, to press 'it thick ly into the tar, alter which sweep riff the loose sand ; give another coat of tar and sand in the same way, and the roof i., complete. This makes a cheap and durable roof. Strong brown paper may be used as a substitute for Ihe•cot ton cloth. A composition of one half pitch and one hall of emnmon tar, will answer as well as rhe coal Mr; common tarcan easily 'tat made trite Mod by pouring:some of the oil Of vitriol into eisrboniv.es mot makes il brio a chatroel. A roof may he made in sections as described ; that is, one part finished before the other; its sin face must be thickly covered with the sand. Some use fine gravel, but clean Aar') saint is much bettor. A roof of ibis kind win last fot• a guest number of years, and if it is well mad.e.,it is more invonthustible, by far, than a shingle roof. Farmers vi mail do well to tae Fuck k•itrd of roofing for shuols and other kinds of tout-houses.—Srientific ihricrecon. Prinoiples of Odd Fellowship The following extract from the by daws of A rgerona Lodge, No. 289, I. 0. of 0. I'., of riiitsburg, beautifully expresses the aims and obligations of the 'Order : Our Association, if properly appreciated by its votaries; is capable of awakening the kind est-sentiments and - feelings of-the-htt man-lieart, No institution presents so lair a field for the philanthropiel3l allseeds and nations to labor in. The virtues inculcated at otir altars ; are those emanating from the great Fountain of Light, and Truth, and exercise a peculiar in. Ilnence in subduing the intemperate and uoho• ly passions of our common nature. By pru dence, discretion, amt integrity ; the most plea surable enjoyments of life may be experienced widdu the sphere of Odd Fellowship. Its ca pacity for softening the asperities of the Woild's habits and customs, and for elevating the so cial character of mankind, is a fixed fart and beyond the cavil of the ignorant, or the more foolish philosopher, the sceptic. Let it be our aim to snstain ,by every lauda ble exertion the proud po,dtion our Order now commands throughout all civilization.—Let it be our effort to perpetuate our association, that it may ever remain a glad and happy asy lum, where the widoW and the (Aimless, the distressed and needy Brother may repose under the broad mantle of Charity. More Gold California has sent us another million of tloi lars; but she has a good many such instal ments to pay, before she has liquidated Me ',kilt she owes to the Atlantic States. In mer chandise, more than eighty millions of dollars have been sent there, and as yet, we have scarcely had half that amount in gold dust.— We are glad to hear that the difficulty between the authorities anti the squatters, is over, for the present; hut there will be any amount of litirmtion, in regard to the old Mexican grants, and we shall be agreeably surprised if further violence and bloodsltbd do not en. sue.

Death from RydTol)hobia Mr, Joseph Hunt, of West Chester, in this State, died on Friday last of hydrophobia, hav ing first exhibited symptoms of the disease on the Tuesday preceding. Mr. Hunt 'called M a physician on Wednesday, and stated to him ilie symptoms of his case, and his fears that the ease was hydrophobia—that he had several weeks previously been attacked by his own dog, and bitten in the wrist of his right arm; that lie greatly feared the disease would be fatal, and desired to make some temporal arrangements. He was entirely resigned to his fate—seemed to entertain no hope of recovery—and begged of his physicians to put an end to his life by bleed. ing. Daring Thursday night and Friday, the character of the disease became most violent and alarming. The spasms came and went in rapid succession, cud •at the time they were on, it re , .quired several persons to hold hint. : baring the intervals of the spasms he was calm and 'collect ed, and conversed freely with his attendants with his uniform strung common sense. The spasms appeared to cause him the most intense agony, and he anticipated their approach with feelings apparently of the utmost horror. He complain ed of severe pain in his breast and lungs, and told his medical attendant that his sufferings -werc inespressible and inconceivable. Mr. Hnnt was bitten- on-eriday,-nine weeks preceding the day of his death. The WMlnd was indicted upon the wrist of the right arm, and al, though apparently not much more than a scratch. the blood flowed freely. After a day or two, the wrist was lied up by an intimate female friend, foe only person to whom he commnnicated the bite, and it quickly healed up. At the time the wound was indicted, the dog lay under the bench on the porch, and, appearing retless, Mr. Hunt IT:relied 'his hand down to him and was bitten. The day previous the dog had attacked and bit ten. one of Mr. Hunt's hogs; but the hog has shown no symptoms cd madness. The next day after Mr. Hunt had been bitten, the dog disappeared ; he was shot above Gallag• herville, about two [mks off, by ones f the neigh. burs, fora formad dog. The 'dog was owned by Mr. Hunt, was of medium size, and was partly of Newfoundland blood. He had been in Nlr.ll's possession but a short lime. On Thursday, the nerves of the pmient hecarat extremely sensitive, and the presence of a stran ger, or a breath of air, would bring on a spasm. One of the first mark; of his disease were two black spots, which- appeared at the root of the longue, and as the malady advanced, the tongue became completely discolored. In his tranquil moments, Mr. Hunt expressed a fear that he might bite or injure some of his attendants, and desired that they would secure him. His parox- ysms were very violent, arid he seemed to pos. seas supernatural strength; but he suffered, less when his head and body were pressed lightly to the bcd. Wine Making in Missouri At n horticultural fair in St. !Awls, a Mr. Al len made some remarks on the vine culture in Missriuri. He gave a short but very encourag• ing sketch of the progress of wine making in Missouri. After duly complimenting the enter prise of the vine growers in and around Cinein. nail, whose wine .the company around the St. Louis festive board had just been honoring by plentifttl and generous libations, Mr. Allen ex pressed the hope that Missouri would imitate the example of her Ohio neighbors, and ere long ri val them in the abundance and rxcellence of the fruits of the vineyard. hi regard to the products of thu wine press in Missouri, there was much gratifying and .encour aging. At Hermann alone, a small German vil, lage in Gasconade county, on the Missouri riv er, there are four hundred acres in vines. All around Hermann are hills; the village being built in the only plain to be found. These hills are covered and crowned by. fresh and luxuriant young v ineyards, and from them will be produc ed this year front 30,000 to 0,000 gallons of wine, which is sold at the press from $l,OO to ';1,50 per gallon. Some sanguine persons are calculating that the place of Hermann this year, will go to the amount of 50.000 gallons. The business of wine milting at Hermann is already carried on under that division of labor necessary for the attainnleni or the greatest sue, cess. There are three classes altogether distinct, now engaged in it; the grape grower, the wine peesser,and the wine merchant. Hermann is the chief wine grryripz, districtin Missouri, but by no means the only one. The day is not distant when the State will be as tinguished for her grapes and wine's at; for her hemp, tobacco and other heavier products. Remains of Gen. ,Tiny/or.—We learn from R. M. Magraw, Esq.;.the efficient President of the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, that the remains of General Taylor, late President of the United States, will leave Washington city, in a car furnished by the Susquehanna Railroad Company, on the morning of the 25th of October, at six o'clock, and will .reach Baltilnore at 8 o'clock, where Col. Taylor and Col. W. S. Bliss will take possession of the corpse. They will. then proceed over the Susquehanna Road, by the express train, stopping at York a few minutes, and will go thence to Wrightsville, where they will cross the Columbia bridge, and proceed by the new river railroad on the eastern bank of the Susquehanna, to Middletown,and thence to Har risburg, and so over the Central Railroad to Pittsburg, where they will take the steamer to Louisville.

Fliking Machine The practicability of navigating the air by Means of aflying machine has been satisfacto rily demonstrated and 'settled, as he thin'ti, by Mr. John Taggart, of CharlestoWn, Mass., who N at present to be seen with his invention, at . Dunlap's Hotel, 135 'Fulton street, New Wile.— The flying machine consists of a car, to the front of which is attathed 'a pair of wings somewhat like the screws tts*.ed by propellers, and a float or 'balloon fastened to the car in the ordinary way, at an elevation of s'ix or eight feet. The wings, which may be moved in any Arreelion, No as to assist in the ascent or descent of the machine, are put in motion by turning a small axle run ning through the centre of the car. The machine may be guided in any direction by means of a rudder, the slightest variation to which it obeys with wonderful precision. The float or balloon, which is pear-shaped, is thirty,three feet nine inches in height, having a diameter of some twelve feet ; and the whole weight of the machine, when ready fur ascension, is three hundred and fifty poundS, in addition 'to title.% 'it Will carry with ease over one thonsand pintails. The in , velour 'told es thn't he had already made one as-. tension in it, for the purpose of practically test, • ing its powers. The ascent. was made from the 1-commons-at-Lowelli - Mass;, - in - tire ,presence - ofli large-number aspect:l'MM ntving tosorne fault I in inflating the balloon, a quantity of steam was alhiwed to intermix with the gas, thus greatly diminishing its buoyancy, so that when the ropes which held it to the ground were cut. the mathite ascended only to the height of a few feet, when it fell down, to the imminent peril of the occu• pant. After two or three ineffectual attempts, Mr. Taggart ..elevioed the wings considerably above the line of the car, which had the desir ed effect, and away went the machin n, far above the heads of die spectators, until it had dwindled in their gaze to the size of a'swallow. After at taining a considerable elevariiin, Mr. Taggart proceeded in the direction of Lawrence, whence lie passed to Andover and Bradford, over which latter place he struck a current of air which ear ried him, at a rapid rate, to Redding. retort this again he passed to Salem, havingcrossed a poi , itin_of_the_sea_in_his_passage-from-Redding, and alighted at a distance of nine miles from Lowell, accomplishing the whole voyage in an hoar and twenty minutes. Mr. Tagaatt says, that at one time he had obtained an elevation where the air became so ra rifled that it was With the greatest difficulty' he could retain his powers of anima. tion ; his hands, anti other parts of his body, swel led,.amt blood spurted firom his mouth and nose. The inventinn,he tells us, has met with the stip. port,and countenance of several of the scientific men in Massachusetts. It is the intention of Mr. Taggart to make an ascent in this city, in the course of two or three weeks. He has already invited some of oar most eminent machinists, and men of science to examine his inVention.— Nov-York Evening Pod. The Muster Rolls The following extract (ruin a letter of the Ad. jutant General to a member of Congress will give information as to the rule adopted in re-' ference to copies or inspections of the muster rolls. '•lf it be necessary vi give any information respecting the time, &c., of the mustering into service the regiments and companies of the— volunteers, with a view to obtaining the land bounty, it is equally necessary in the case of all the volunteers enrolled and rfeeived into service front the other States; but to .10 this Ivonla be al- Most impossible. In the Black Hawk war, 1932, and the Seminole or Florida war, 1839 to 18.12, there were not less than 31,051 militia and vol. unteers enrolled; and during the Creek disturb. fumes, and nn the Southern frontiers, in the years ISM and 1837, neatly 20,009 militia were nuts• tered into the service of the United States. If we go back to the war with Great Britain, we find that .171,000 militia were called out. It will be seen, therefore, that to begin with answering such calls for information as you have made in the matter of claims to land bounty, may end in examining and reciting muster rolls so compli cated and numerous as 'to embrace no less than 531,729 names. "It has always been assumed by the Govern ment, that persons having, claims upon it know what they are entitled to. The only proper way, therefore, is, for the applicants to apply to the Commissioner for their land, (under the regula tions that no doubt will he duly published,) and whenever he may want any information from the records of the War Departtnent to establish the claim, he, as a matter of course, applies for and officially obtains whatever can he procured:— And this is the course, I am instructed by the Secretary of War to say, which must he cumin. tted to be observed. And L may add.lhnl, with the clerical force of this office, it would be almost impossible, if it were proper; to answer the calls of the description in question, without great ly obstructing the general business of this blanch of the War Department. ° • It will be seen from the foregoing, that copies of the rolls are not to be furnished. The "instructions and forms" necessary to be observed have been forwarded in every di rection throughout the country, and we un derstand that official certificates front the rolls are daily fdrnished to the Commissioner of Pensions, from the rolls in possession of the different offices, In support of claims.—lVesh.
