The New Brass Band
Thefiew "Brass Band': is making rapid pro•
the art of Music. It numbers some
':Aifteen or sixteen members, all of which are
'gr_;tyrtlemen that have more or less knowledge
c..inusie, and consequently better able to be
odie master of the instrument of their choice.
They are an active and enterprising set of men,
and,:as such are determined to spare neither
tharl or expense to effect their purpose. They
110 e at a very heavy salary engaged Mr.
Ariten licinickc, one of the most eminent ger
man musicians in the country, to whom they
pay the sum of three hundred duet? rs, fur s ix
months tuition. Their instruments and other
incidental expenses amount to four hand, cd de?.
Jars more. This is a very large amount to be
made up, 'making within a fraction filly dollars
to a member.
There are a. number of talented young men
who are unable to lay out such an amount fur
the purchase of instruments and instruction.
Many instances have happened within our
recollection, of Public exhibitions in churches,
Processions, &c., where our citizens were.um
der the necessity of paying large amounts to
BAndsay other places; whereas, if we would
have h something of the kind in our midst,
those amounts could have remained in the
pockets of our citizens. We would therefore
,advice a collection to be held for the purpose
of defraying part at least of the expenses con
tracted by the Band. We have no doubt but
ourdiberal minded citizens will.thi . nk well of
•
the matter.
Religious Revival
A great Revival is now going on in the
Methodist Church at this place. The Church
has been crowded every night for the last
week, and a large number of persons of both
sexes have been brought un der
. the in fl uence
of the religious feeling which the occasion
has excited. We hope it may be productive
of permanent good.
Dreatlful Accident
At a stone hauling frolic that took place in
Moore township; Northampton county, on Wed
nesday, the 27th of November, a shocking ad
oident happened,.which resulted in the death
,of one of the men, as follows : •
It appears that a party of men assembled to
haul atone from Moore township In the Slate
quarry in the neighborhood of Siegfried's tar
ern. They halted at theitavcrn, watered their
horses, and no doubt alio took to themselves
too much of the fiery titatcr. In starting, L'a•
angst, ono of the teamsters, drove ahead of
.Engler, which apPearsio, have created conic
feeling on the part of Engler, who remarked
that ho would yet head hint. Mr. Daniel Say.
!or, the unfortunate man, -was seated on Eng
ler's loaded wagon, and upon going down a
bill, he (Engler) gave the whip to his horses,
and put them to the run, in driving aside of
road, ho saw Saylor fall 'from his wagon, but
being unable to stop his horses, drove on a
short distance, and upon returning to the spot,
found his friend dead, the blood gushing from
his mouth and Oars, the-wagon had passed over
his body.- He was taken homes corpse; in the.
awful condition he was found. Hewes a sop .

a heart-stricken wife and several 'Children to
mourn his early, and ,ihocklag death.
Meeting of Congress
The second session of the present Congress,
assembled

and. will cud on the 4th of March next. The
Message of the Presidetti is Waal :for with
Ulrich anxiety, but. as it will no duubt:lre tr

give it in extract. That: it au
clear and decided document, no ono doubts that
is at all acquainted with the brilliant talents
and firm character of President Fillmore.
The flaw question is one of peculiar inter ,
cat, as it threatens the peace and harmony of
the Union, and upon the faithful execution of
the tntil promke measures', passed by the last
session of Congress, depeinlis the finale pros
perity of our gloriorni country.

Patronize Home Papers First
The. Western Magazine, puts forth some
good notions and strong arguments favorable to.
the more general support of the local. press—
its superiority over foreign newspapers. It says:
':Every person would give more for a histo
ry 01 his own, than of a foreign country.—
Upon the same principle he should prize more
highly a record of his own than a neighboring
state and still more highly should he value a
record of the events in his own than a neigh
boring county. People entertain a mistaken
notion when they suppose they can secure a
better family paper from abroad than at home.
Papers extended for a Ole circulation do not
contain the news, and :he insipid matter that
many of our foreign papers contain, leaves El
deadly mildew and vitiated taste wherever
they get: The advertisements of a home pa
per are far superior reading matter to the wishy
washy, milk and water, love silk trash that is
offered to us at such cheap club rates: Arid
then by patronizing our home papers we know
when to shred the sympathising tear with those
who have been bereft of '1:1 friend, by reading
under the deaths; and when to utter the hearty
Ha! ha! ha! by reading under the marriages.
We say, then to our western people patronize
yotir home papers'first. •

of the Convention.
Whereupon, the Chair appointed Jacob Dil
linger of Lehigh, J. M. Porter of Northampton,
S. 1). Meredith of Schuylkill, S. Balliet of Carbon,
W. Heidenreich of Bei ks, who after a short ab
mise reported the following:
Rooked—That this Convention learns with
pleasure that the Delaware ; Lehigh, Schuyl

ic:mid:de einuarnitting a good and permanent
Bail Road fiom Easton, on the Delaware river ;
up the valley of the Lehigh to a point where it
intersect the Beaver Aleadow Rail Road
al Perryville or Manch Chunk, as may be ur.
ranged between the two companies; and front
the river Lehigh, north of the Blue Mountain
to the valley of the little Schuylkill.
Resolved—That we earnestly- recommend to
the citizens of rite valley of the Lehigh, as an
inducement to an early completion of the said
road, to subscribe to the stock of the said
Company,, and that the Landholders on the
route be requested as soon as the location
shall be definitely fixed, to, settle and adjust
their claims for the right of way, before the
construction shall be commenced, and as tar
as practicable in the stock of the Company.
' Resolved—That James T. Borheck, Andrew H;
Reeder and C. A. Luckenbach: of Northampton,
Christian Prem., Henry King and Saco') Dillin,

Carbon, be a Committee, for their respective
Counties, with power to act jointly if necessary,
to confer with the Board of Managers of the said
Rail Road Company, on the subject of procuring
additional subscriptons of Stock as above recom
mended, and to render to said Company any aid
in their power in settling the right of way along
the line of said Rail Road.
fieso/rea-That in the ()pillion of this Con
' vention, the construction of the said Rail Road
will give great facilities to our farmers and
millers in getting their grain and flour to mar
ket, us well as to our •manufacturers in get
ting supplies of coal and sending their Iron
and other products to Now York and Philadel
phia at all seasons of the year, when the
Rail Rouds from Easton to those cities shall
be completed; us the counties of Northamp•
ton, Lehigh and Carbon will then be put with
in five to six hours distance of either of those
great Cities,. and thus the value of Property
along the line of the said flail Roads will be
greatly enhanced.
Resolved—That as the construction of Rail
• roads tends to develops the resources of the
country and afford facilities to carry to mark
et its products, mineral, agricultural and me
chanical, and as every portion of our Common-_
wealth is entitled to the best market that can

Editorials
A noted chap once stepped into thevanctum
of a yeller:ll4f and highly respected editor, and
indulgent in ktirade against a citizen, with
whom he was on had terms. '•I wish;" said
Ite, addressing the man of the pen, "that you
would write. a severe article against 1?—,
and put it in your paper.'' "Very well" was
the reply, and alter soine more conversation,
the visitor went away.. The next morning he
came rushing into the °Mee, in a violent state
of excitement—" What did yriu Put in your pa:
per? I have had my nose pulled and been
kicked twice." '•I wrote a severe article, as
you desired," calmly returned the editor, "and
signed' your tunic to it."
Literary Discoveries.,
A series of Manuscripts and autographs, of a
highly interesting, character, has been recently
brought to light in the library of the nano-pal
ace. The young Duke of Piano, D: Mario Otto
boni, who has not yet arrived at his Maturity,
being wily 19 years of age, is the sole remain,
lag representative of this noble and ancient
family, which; of Venetian origin, boasts of hav
ing given to the world many illhstrious person
'ages, atnang whom Pope Alexander VIII. Be.
side other rare mental qualities, the'young Dulte
already displays tr great love for bibliographic
pursuits, in consequence of which he recently,
requested'a well known Corhmendatore Viscon
ti, secretary of the Archmological Society, to
examine the numerous collection of autographs.
and manu s cripts existing in the ducal archives
These researches have revealed a long corres
pondence between Maria Clementine, (wife of
the Pi•etendr,)' and' Cardinal Ottoboni, who sub
sequently ascended' the papal throne as Alexan.
der VIII. and whose splendid monument forms
one of the ornaments of the Vatican Basilica.—
Other interesting correspondences with . the Ven
etian Doges Foscarina and Contarina have been
discovered, as well as those of the celebrated'
minister of Louis XIV. De Tourey. The exam
ination of these hidden treasures continues, and
there is no d'ottbt.that the zeal of their noble pro.
prietor will enrich the literary world with many
important historical dpcuments.
Origin of the Odd Fellows
On the night of the 25th of December, 1800,
while a winter storm was drifting over this is
landcity, in an upper chamber of a House yet
standing in Fulton street, live men assembled to
organize the first Lodge of the Independent Or.
der of Odd Fellows, ever founded on this cond.
rent.
To the Genius of humanity, who presided over
that humble scene and fotesaw its consequen
ces, it must have seemed, as to its first discov
erer did the parent rill which gushes from the
Hooky Mountains, and flows on in its far pil
grimage until it swells into the solemn Mis,
sissippi.
They called the institutinn they founded,
Shakspeare Lodge, and, like the name they gave
it, it has prevaded' the world. Its charter now
lies side by side with the play of Hamlet, in the
library of Sunny Side on the gold-digger on the:
golden banks of the Rio Sacramento.
The names given' to the first four Loditas s in .
New York, indicate Ain: spirit of their; founders:
Shakspeare's name represeated‘t,iteiature - and .

1:for one, joiimsl the class With the olijeqt of
learning the system, as have also the majority
of the principals auClteachers of the higher and
lower schools, as well as professional men, and
I think, I have reason to be thankful, that 1.
commenced the study . of such a useful art.
The class has had but four lessons, and there
is not one, who'has attended regularly, that. is
not able to express all his ideas • : in Phonogra
phy. Yes, the very system that , looks so toys
-tittaliand-whiclrwe-tirought-we-nevercould
learn. The spelling is so easy and na'ural,
and the writing so short, that no one can help
to become enthusiastic in its study. We speak
of the wonders of the present age ;:namely the
railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph; but as
respects time and labor saving, Phonography is
evidently the greatest wonder.
Before I commenced its study, I thought . , as
indeed most persons do, that it would be diffi
cult oTacquisitionybut,-1-am-perlectly;atisfied i
that any person, whether learned or unlearned,
if he pay; the requisite attention to it, can, by
taking a course of lessons (nine in number)
easily learn the "coveted art," and be enabled
to use it with greater freedom and certainty,
than the coinmon writing. The short lime 1
studied Thonography, - but as yet I cannot near
appreciate its value, enables ore safely to re
commend the system as follows: To the pro
le.sional man, who has much to write; to the
author; to the scholar or school-boy; to the
unlearned as we:l as to the learned;' to those
that hate the task of writing and consequently
:lo write but little in short, to all classes of
persons, for the system is so simple, so short,
and - so easy of acquisition, that airy cme whn
devotee one hoar daily for a month to writing
and reading, can write with the same facility
as'bY ordinary long-hand. Thesame practice
continued for six months, or a year, will ena
ble any one, who• has empire(' funiliiv in com•
mon writing, to make verbatim reports of
speeches. Why a boy but seven years of age,
publicly ht the city of New York, wrote 120
words a Minute. She then how advaota,:tious-
ly hs practice may be turned. 11'iite out your
studies in Phonography, they will be more
firmly fixed in your tnind. But why continue,
we have already seen enough of its utility.—
Let me only add, that whoever wishes to de
rive pleasure and. benefit from study, leant
Phonog,raphy; if for no other purpose than to
learn the eleMentary sotnals of the lan-

As Mr. limner Mond: to tomtit the system

Gov. Qktitman%
The demand on Gov. Quitman to appear at die
bar of the U. S. District Court, in New Oilcans;
to answer certain charges preferred against him
of being * concerned in the Lopez expedition to
Cohn, is thus alluded to by the Vicksburg Whig
of the 16;h:
"•It is rumored here that a writ from a Court
now in session at New Orleans, demanding the
appearance of Guy. Quitman at its bar to under
go an examination in regard to his alleged im•
plication in the Cuba enterprise of May last, has
been received at Jackson; that the Governor re
fuses to answer the demand, and threatens to
call upon the people of Mississippi for protection,
and that Judge Gholson, of the U. S. Codrt now
sitting in Jackson, has expressed d determination
to use the federal authority in him rested'to have
exedated the writ to the full purport of its reqfil- .
sition, This talk of resistance and enforcement

Important to Tanners
Henry W. Ellsworth, Esq., says the Lafayette
Journal, has shown us several specimens of
leather, which were tanned, under his•own eyes,
in the space of ten minutes, by a prbccss of
which Marion Hibbard; of RoChester, New York
is the inventor. This statement may seemeatt
most' incredible, when it' is considered that six
to ten months are required to tan [either by the
ordinary process.
Mr. Ellsworth has in his possession a pair of
boots and a pair of shoes made from a raw hide
in less than a day and a half, tanned, by his new
process., The leather is tanned by a compound
of chemicals, and in time and materials is a
saving of at least five thousand per cent over
the present blow and costly method of maltiDE
leather. '
