Cr:Me Cel)iql) flegiMer. Allentown, Pa. THURSDAY, 11AY27,1852, The Lehigh Road The Engineers on the Lehigh Railroad have come down as far as Kuntz's ford, and in anoth er week they will ho near Allentown. They had thus far no particular difficulties to contend with, and the location of the road will be made and damages with !and owners can be assessed upon very favorable terms. We hear but one opinion expressed by land owners along the .line in Lehigh county, in regard to this matter. • All we now wish to see is a connection between Allentown and Pottstown, and we will have Philadelphia as our market on the south, and that of Now York on the east. _ Railroad to Pottstown We invito the attention of the Commission ers-named-in-the-act-itieorporating-the-"-Allen—, lentown arid Pottstown Railroad Company" in another column, to attend a meeting to be held on Thursday the 3d day of June next, ai the public house of Frcilerick Shcinly, in Clay ' tonvhtle, Berks county, for the purpose of adopt. ing such measures as may be deemed necos. nary in the premises. This road if made, is the shortest and best route to Philadolphia,.it secures to that great city the trade which,it otherwise will be likely to lose. We trust there will bs a general atten. dance of the commissioners. The Season and Crops Wo have had exceedingly fine weather the past 8 or 10 days, and Summer has fairly set in. Notwithstanding the lateness of the Spring, vegetation is rapidly advancing. Wheat and grass are growing well, and present a vigorous appearance—promising a good yield, although in many fields they were considerably injured by the severity of the winter. Oats also is coming forward well; and the corn is begin. ing to come up—lato to be sure, but with the ground generally in good order. Fruit trees never presented a richer promise of. abundant production than is now seen in the apple, cher• ry, and other trees—the peach alone excepted, The latter appear to have Peen killed by the winter. The Dog Law—Hydrophobia The officers in Philadelphia, gave notice, that on and after Tuesday' the Ist of Juno, all dogs found running at large, without secure wire muzzles, Will be taken up and disposed of acceiding to law. In view - el - the fact that Hydrophobia has been and is even now pre vailing to a fearful extent in various portions of the country, would it not be well for the au thorities of Allentown, since the new borough charter has been accepted, to adopt some pre cautionary measures to lay a dog tax. Important Legal Decision. It has been decided says the Village Record, in the Court of Common Pleas, of Chester county, that a tenant of a farm has no right to remove manure from the premises, even when he purchases.the food with which to feed the stock, producing the manure, unless the agree ment grants the right. .During the drought of last season a tenant purchased hay, grain, &c., to keep up his dairy, and claimed the manure made from the cattle, for the time they were thus fed, from produce not raised upon the farm. The Court decided against the tenant, because of the difficulty of determining the extent of right in such cases, in making a division be tween manure produced from food raised oil or on the farm. Money Matters The demand for Money is comparatively light. The supply is superabundant, and loans are offering freely at 4 per cont. The brokers are paying off their 5 per cent. loans and borrowing at 4. The best short-dated pa -per sells steadily at 4 per cent. The amount of money on deposit with the Banks and pri• vale capitalists are at a loss to use their funds, and large balances are consequently lying idle. In the SOuth, there is a srarcity of money. A shipment of coin Sonthward was made to-day to the extent of SIOO,OOO, taken from the 1-mli of Commerce, and more is likely to follow. At Philadelphia money is very abundant, and the rate of interest is gradually falling.— The. Banks are in want of good paper, and have•tiffered to take choice lots as low as 5 per cent. City and Country The general rule with 'regard to City and Country is this—lf, though strength of intellect, peculiar faculty or strength of purpose, you are able and willing to do several lair average men's work each day, then the city is the place for you, and probably you can (to more good or make money faster hero than else where; but if you are only able : and willing to do ono man's work, you can live easier, fare 'better, and gradually grow into a competence more surely in the country. The working claw work more steadily and faithfully here than in the eluntry ; they live more frugally and save less. They may eat more fresh flesh, but they breathe less pure, air, while they lodge as in dustrious peoile in the Country would not consent to: To one who has a soul, the condi tion of a city laborer for wages, continually de- ' pendent On the favor or caprice of others for the moans of subsistence, petitioning for work as a boon, often condemned to idelness, bul lied by purse-pride, ground down by avarice, and often.defrauded of his hard earnings by bankruptcy or knavery, is far from desirable.

Knowledge—gives—scope—lor—thoughtrand ' thought strengthens and enlarges the judgment making the mind vigorous and active in turn ing the circumstances that surround us to the very best advantage. Why then should the farmer hesitate to glean knowledge from the thinking press? If his neighbor tell him of a better way of cultivating his crop, he has the confidence to give it a trial. Why then should he scout the something in print, when by such means the good knowledge is borne to the homes of thousands? But, says our doubter, your "hook farming" is conducted by your genteel-farmers in kid gloves, who, too deli cate to dig and get practice, can spin you very fine theories. Nay, friends, this is seldom the case; yet, if it were, have you, not, dear sir, ( the good judgment to digest the truth, and take that only which is beneficial and adopted to your location and circumstances? Does our i theoretical men detail some new process?— Then don't go straightway and serve your whole crop to it; but if there seem to be a measure of rt'ason in his arguments, give it a limited but fair trial.

Public Plunder We aro heartily glad says the Pottstown Ledger, to see the public press of this State noticing in just terms of indignation the sys tem of public Pinder so long tolerated in per sons holding politicial offices in the State.— The amount due the Stale from public delaub . ters has reached the enormous sum of $3,000, 000. What do our honest, harthoiling tax payers think. of this'? Is it not time for them to awake, and attend the primary meetings of their respective parties, and there put the seal of condemnation upon the idler, spendthrifts, and gamblers, who are continually hanging on to parties, and getting the best offices in the State, and in their stead nominate good, hon est, substantial men to the posts of honor and profit. The corruption and intrigue of more, partisans, has become so conspicuous, that good, religious, honest men shrink back from a participation in party affairs, to a consider able extent. The effect of this course of ac tion, is to saddle bad laws and taxation upon themselves. -Do•what you can, tax - payers, at your primary elections, and then, if unworthy nominations are made, (and there will be but few,) repudiate them at the polls. Pal Ojicc.--The office of Sheriff Cornley, of New York, is said to be worth from $75,000 to $lOO,OOO per annum. The office of President of the United States is a mere cypher to it, ps far as profits are concerned, Value of "Book Farming." However much of the men of ignorance, or of antiquated notions, may berate the idea, there is no question but "book fanning" puts money into the pockets of the thoughtful, in dustrious tiller of the soil. Progress is a prom inent feature of "the world we live in." Ev. ery art, every science, and every calling are making rapid strides along the path of improve. ment. Thoughts itself receives an onward, accelerating impe'us in the grand march, as is evidenced in the great discoveries of the age ; and i t the fact that now "bayonets think." There cannot he found in any other calling so many who reject the printed knowledge which the press may send to their doors. The mechanic, the lawyer, the physician, the mer chant, &c., are eager to learn, from whatever sco.ce, all they can concerning their several employments—knowing, that it is only in their intelligence they can keep pace with their fel- Duties of Constables Judge Jonei of Berks county, delivered a charge to the constables of that county, relative to their duties in making their returns as to the existence of disorderly houses, gambling estub• lishments and unlicensed liquor stands. We quote the following on the subject: "When you swear that you do not know of any drunkenness, gambling, or disorderly house keeping in your district, you are very far from swearing to the truth, very far from having done your duty so as to qualify you to make a true return, if you suppose that you can only swear safely to what you liavc seen with your own eyes. Of you wait until you see a gambling estab. lishment in full operation—or the proprietor of a brothel playing her cccupation—nr the trippling house keeper driving his unlawful traffic in drink —it may indeed be a very rare occasion that any one of you Will be called upon to make a return The Constable who is credibly informed that such on - fliers are committed—or who from coin• mon genera rumor receives such information— : or who from his own observation has reason to suspect a house or a person, and who takes ifo further action, _waiting till he can see the offence with his own eyes, swears falsely when he comes to this bar and deposes that he does not know of any offenses of the kind having been committed within his district. It may not be technical per jury in the eye of the law—but let him consider well what it may be in the eye of God. He has heard or has seen enough to put him upon in quiry, and it is his bounden duty to inquire into the character of every house or person in his district which bears an evil name or fame. He must not shut his eyes and ears to facts, which ring through the whole community, and because of that voluntary and convenient blindness and deafness, come here and swear that he knows of no such facts. It is his duty to be vigilent, and from the moment he finds a person or house of notorious - , or even whispered, bad repute, he should never lose sight of that person or that house. lie should watch them and warn them, so — as - to - make the suspected person feel that they are living under the eye of the law—he should be incessant in his efforts to ascertain precisely the nature and extent of their offences, to collect- the testimony, and - to - prepare for pro secuting the offenders, A Constable should be prompt, resolute and determined in his dealings with this kind of persons—he should make them feel that in him the law had an ever present, un- ' tiring, upright vindicator.

To all these violations of the law, occurring ::Dies Wit number, we shit expect you to give attention. you have but to look about you and do your duty fearlessly. On every side you will find instructions of the law. If you cannot see, or hear, or find anything out of the kind—you had better asked to be dis" charged from your oflice—we will discharge you cheerfully. No honest man, who knows what his duty is, can fail to bring to justice, in certain neighborhoods, scores of keepers of disorderly houses—gambling houses—bawdy houses—tips piing houses and unlicensed sellers of liquors. You are responsible for the good order and the peace of your districts, and we will hold you to that responsibility by all the means in our power "You will also observe how the Taverns in your districts are kept—for a tavern though censer! to sell liquor, may do it in such a way as to become a diSorderly house. If you observe idle, drunken, dissolute people about a Tavern especially on Sunday—and they frequent the house habitually or arc seen by you frequently, indeed if a Tavern has a common reputation of being the resort of such persons, you will report the fact to this Court. A well ordered Tavern is a.great convenience to the public, but one which is not of that character, is a nuisance, which should be abated. Look then into the taverns— and look with the eyes of mcm resolved to do their duty. If you will be on the alert and will but do your duties, the law has invested you with ample ers to break up the haunts of vice and crime, which are poisoning the morals of Society.— Again we would exhort you to be bold and fear less. The miscreants whom you will have to encounter will doubtless raise a fearful outcry but regard them not. The Court will stand by you—and every decent and honest man in the community, and they are yet, thank God, a vast majority, will stand by you. The American peo ple love to ace their lacers, of whatever grade, from the President down, a ;mune the responsi , bilities of their offices. You have takewithe of fice—take its responsibilities. in doing so you will derive a strength from your own conscience and front the approbation of the people, which will enable you to overcome all opposition to your discharge ofiduty."

It secures to onr,government the own. ership of an immense tract, considered by those familiar with the 'region, to embrace the finest farming and lumbering land in the North. west; and at a cost lower, we believe, than has attended purchases gained under former treaties.

Btfiwt tun* 4ffitir between two Relatives. Hon, Edward A. llannegan, late U. S. Senator for Indiana, and Capt. Duncan, his brother-in law, living in the same hriuse at Covington, In: (liana, on the most friendly terms, had a person al misunderstanding on the 7th inst. It appears that on the day and evening previous, they had both ken drinking, and that on the morning of the sad occurrence, Capt. Dungan went up stairs to lianreg,an's room, and an altercation ensued hetweeti.lhe parties, whin Capt. Dungan gave Mr. Hannegan a slap in the face. Mr. lianne. gan, upon the indignity he felt, and the impuL'e of the moment, struck Capt, Dungan with a knife in the lower part of the stomach, inflicting a severe, and what isthought a dangerous wound Mr. Hannegan, recovering from his passions, aroused by the supposed indignity, surfers the most excruciating tortures in the reflection that he has, perhaps, struck down as kind a friend as he has on earth. A rumor reached Cincinna• ti in the early part of the week that Capt. Dun. I can had died of his wound. Singular Circunotanee.—On the Ilth of May, says the Bucks County Intelligencer, Charles Bremer a tenant on the farni of Joseph Harvey, near Doylestown, turned his tows into time woods to pasture. In time afternoon they jumped over the fence into the grass field of Silas H. Thomp. son, and soon after, live of them were lying dead upon the ground. They were all lying within the space of half an acre of ground ; and some had not advanced more thon live paces from where they got in, before they died. They had been in the field hut a very short time, and had neither choked, nor swelled as cattle sometimes ! do that sufli•r from eating green clover or corn. They swelled considerably after death. On be ing opened there appeared nothing to indicate the cause of their death, except that the coats of their stomachs were apparently diseased and partly destroyed. The case is a singular one at least. Importation V . Sugar and Molasses.—During the year 1851, the importation of brown sugars in the United States amounted to 366,537,861 rounds, value $12,882,274 ; of white or refined sugars, 17,0(10,000 pounds, value 1.000,000. Of molasses there Were imported 36,376,783 gallons, valued at 1+3,707,581, making the total valuation of the importation of these two articles $17,589, 855, or nearly one-twelfth of the value of the en• tire imports for the year, which amounted to $216,224,932. The principal import of sugar is from Cuba ; 276,000,000 pounds, valued at $lO, 000,000, coming from that Island. Free Bunking in Intliann.-The Indiana Sen ate has passed the bill authorizing free banking in that State, the issues to be secured by United Stales Government, Indiana, New York, Ken tucky and Pennsylvania Stocks. The bill had previously passed the House. It will undotibi_ eilly become a law. It required a. specie basis in addition of P2l per cent. . Campaign Paper. The proprietors of the Democratic Union, at Ilarrishure, propose pub. lishing the Investigator during the approaching Presidential campaign, at 50 cents per copy.— The first number will be issued on the 15th of June.

The "Major Rune'," we understand, bus laid by fur the present. Railroad Subscrld ons.—The Borough Coun sel of Sunbury, Pa., has authorized a subscrip tion of $25,000 In the Susquehanna Railroad, and $25,000 to the Suabury.and Erie Railroad—the latter, provided the work is commenceti at that place within one year. .The subscription to the Susquehanna Married was entered by the, chief Burgess, on the books of the Cotnpany,.on Wcd . t f iesday last. „ Chanoes of Life Among the interesting facts developed by the recent census, are some in relation to the laws that,govern life and death. They are based up. on returns froth the State of Maryland, and a comparison with previous ones. The calcula• lion it is unnecessary to explain, but the result is a table from which we gather the following Illustration 10,268 infants are - born on the same day and enter upon life simultaneously. Of these 1233 never reach the anniversary of their birth; 9 . 025 commence the second year, but the proportion of death still continues so great, that at the end of the third only 8183, or about four-fifths of the original number survive. Hut during the fourth year, the system seems to acquire more strength, and the number of deaths rapidly decreases, It . goes on decreasing until 21, the commencement' of maturity, and the period of highest health.— . . 7,131 enter upon the activities and responsibili ties of life—mote than twmthlrds 01 the original - number.A 2 hirty:five - comesithe - meritl, trni man hood ; 0,302 have reached it. Twenty. years . more andrhe ranks are thinned. Only 4,727, or less of those who entered life fifty_five years ago 'are left. And now death comes more frequent ly. Every year, the ratio of mortality steado' increases and at 73 are not a thousand survivors. A scattered few live on to the close of the cen tury. and at the age of one hundred and six, the drama is ended. The last man is dead. Adounding Case rf Canrer.—A short time ago a Mrs. Henry Westerman, belonging to Dayton. Ohio, died. Her complaint had bead her phy and they made a post mortem examina tion of her body. The liver was found to ocen• py the greater part of the cavity of the abdomen extending from the sixth rib to the symphyiis• pubis, and reaching entirely.from One side of the body to the other, completely covering over anti displacing all the viscera within. The walls of the abdomen were so wasted away by the con stant pressure, that they were not thicker in front than one sixteenth part of an inch, and had her life been purlonged a few days, the liver would have protruded. The liver waspund to consist of one mass of hard cancer, and of exceedingly rOugh and irregular surf:vce, No more than one two.hundreth part of the organ was healthy and the remainder consisted of chiarhiN, which is the nature of gristle. The form of the organ was so changed that it was one shapel ess mass, anti was adherant to the diaphragm, the stom ach, the ribs in front, and the duodenum. The weight of the liver was twemy-four and three quarter pounds—ihe weight of the healthy liver being only three or four pounds. Large spheri• cal masses of cancerous growths were lottiot the. taicheil and lying between the lobes of the liver. ft is singular that the organ continued to per form its functions until within three days before her death, after which time she became perfect. ly jaundiced. 411ainc Lam in Masinichuscll3.—Guy. Boutwell vetoed the prohibitory Liquor Bill, recently pass' , ed by the Legislature of Massachusetts, on Wed nesday morning. The Senate immediately pass ed a new bill, almost similar to the one vetoed, with the exception that the secret ballot law is retained. The bill as it passed the Senate was sent to the Boase. The general tenor of the veto of Gov. Boutwell is decidedly opposed to the principle of the measure. The House has passed the bill, with the clause referring it to a vote of the people stricken out. The Senate sub. sequently passed it also after a warm debate, Gov.
