Indian Summer The weather for the current week has been •eautiful ; we were in the Indian Summer? fur older friends say that this delightful sea son comes on in November; that it follows and precedes severe frosts, &c. We do not suppose that those hazy, dreaming days term ed the Indian Summer must necessarily occur in any month ; but as far as our °Nervation goes they are generally in our Climate, a peen. liar feature of October. If the woods were but dressed in the •arigated hues of autumn, and every blast brought with it a shower of leaves, it would be hard for the cities to hold her pop. elation. The massive piles of corn and cheerful songs of the laborers as they gather and heap up this most abundant product of our soil—the soft tints of the now quiet skies, the blended hues of the fading year—the orchards laden with red and yellow winter fruits and the cheerful bustre of the husbandman lend a charm to the country and give a zest to rural life in striking contrast with the drowsy, plethoric, semi-ani mate lassitude of the larger cities. Since writing the above, however, a sudden change in the weather has taken place, and since Saturday we have had heavy showers of rain. This was very acceptable indeed, as it will bring on the little streams and rivulets for the winter. Agrioulture. Undoubtedly the most ennobling of all pur suits is that of the farmer—that it is also the . most pleasant & conductive to health all admit; Is any one ambitious? Here is the grendest and the widest theatre for the displalitiof his powers and theexeroise of sovereign preroga , fives; even strategy, diplommliegislation, in fact all the . oPeration of a well governed State are brought inr,eqUfidiion on a properly con; Odin/ fatrraliile every thing moves in obe dience to one absolute head, one despotic will. Is one devoted to science? Upon the farm it Is studied to the best advantage; here Na ture, which is the science of God, is at once our model, our instructor and our delightful book of problems. By agriculture is the world supported : it is the mother of all honest trades, the promoter of virtue, and the staunch friend of liberty. Agriculture in Pennsylvania, however, has been regarded as a very diflerent thing; the farmer has lost rank in the social scale, and science and literature have turned their backs upon him. The Graces, as well as the MIMS, have also deserted him ; and his calling has been considered one of coarse drudgery and moneyless promise, unrelieved by any of the amenities of refined Society, unpoetical, un sentimental, and fatal to all the instincts . and aspirations of active or cultivated intellect.— We are , happy to say, however, that the dawn of a new state of things is breaking upon us heaven-born agriculture is waking horn its long sleep, the rusty chains are falling from its lusty limbs, and it is rising to assert and main tain its high prerogatives. It is diligently studying its rights and its duties; and ere long we may expect to see it enter the field, cloth ed in the dignity of the first man, with a crown of unfading flowers on its head, heralded by all the arts and sciences making smooth its path, and followed by all the Virtues, leading peace and plenty, and pleasures through a smiling land. All the signs indicate such an auspicious ad vent; and prominent among these is the for mation of a recent State Agricultutal Society, numbering among its members many of the most intelligent men of this county. Farmers, mechanics, merchants and divines have enrolled thpmselves in the Association. We invite the friends of the good cause to push it on, assuring them that in this they will cer tainly find their reward. . " . The administration of Prel:iident Fillmore has been one of the most successful anti' honorable in the history of the republic, and impartial men of all parties have been, at all limes, rea dy to do justice to it for its dignity and its man ly regard for the honor of , the 'country and the rights of its citizens. Ilaving arrived within a few months of its termination, it would flaw. rally be supposed that it would be safe from all slandt3reqs attacks from .any quarter, and that where the President was wholly unconnected from politics, he would be wholly unmolested by 'politicians. But this supposition has pro ven to be erroneous. A dispatch sent from Washington city to New Orleans, signed by A. G. Penn and John-W.-Forney,- represents the government as "backing out" in the affair with Cuba, and yielding the point in regard to Pur see Smith, of the Cresent City. The story is utterly unfounded, and we regard this attempt to injure Mr. Fillmore and his administration as the niost infamOus contrivance for political effect yet concocted during the present cam paign. The party' whom it is intended t•I ben efit, will, we are sure, repudiate such baseness and refuse to employ such 'corrupt means to make political capital. The invention is one too gross for a man of common decency, and 'is worthy only of the one who could write a letter to a friend in New Orleans to induce him to make another man drunk and contrive to extort from him,during his intoxication, testi mony to destroy a woman's character. 3488 Employer and Employed '"`The Syracuse Star well says, that no man walr.ks willingly or zealously who feels that he is not . ITerally compensated for his services.— OW the bOntrary,,his labor is more a matter of necessity than pleasure, and is performed grudgingly with indifference. Employers scarcely ever consider ffialyants of any family beside their own, thinking;Ave suppose, that they can live upon air; at letltst h lhey award it to them ; and haVing forced a_LO;ltin into the acceptance of a salary insufricientM afford not only the necessities, but the comforts, of lite, assume a "holy horror" at his specolations.— The bond of attachment between theernplor ed and employer is of entiridy too slight ate nure ; it exists but front year to year, and is purely mercenary. Very low elml:4, even af .terthey have established their usefulness are reqnitted by a salary equivalent to their neces sities, and wo have known many cases where the demand for an additional hundred dollars to a salary has lout the °fleet to deprivo the merchant of the services of a valuable clerk, because the place might be filled for a less sum even though less efficiently. lle thought he saved by the operation, but he did not. What he gained in wages he lost by shop lifting. Much inconvenience is experienced from the scarcity of silver coin, and sompeomplainia are made of the Treasurer ojiieTNlint, who re fuses to return coin in kind for such silver bul lion as is parted from the deposits of California gold. The silver in these deposits averages( about four-fifths of one per cent, and the whole l amount is returned in gold, the Mint reserving the silver bullion to itself. The rule establish ed at the Mint, is that depositors of mixed bul lion, shall receive the returnritifie description which constitutes its principal value. There would bo no hardship in.this if the market val ue of gold and silver coin, agreed with the le gal value as recogniZed by the Mint. But that is not the castsor instance acertain bank in Wall sleet deposits every two weeks in the Mint abOut $400,000 in bullion; from this there ja . pEtrted $3,500 in silver, and the balance is gold. This bank is then paid in gold coin, the Mint reserving the silver although it charges he bank the whole cost of parting it. The ( bank has then to take the gold coin and pur chase silver coin for its own use at the counter, at a premium of 3a4 per cent. This is a loss to the bank of, say $122 50 on every such de posit. There can be no doubt but what equity requires that such silver bullion as may be par ted from the gold deposited, should be returned in silver coin to the depositor, when the amount is sufficient to justify it. Of course it is coined, and it is a matter of inquiry among depositors here, as to what be comes of it. It is worth . 4 per cent. premium if coined into dimes and half dimes, and about three per cent, in larger coin. Probably part of it is converted into three cent pieces. The remainder may be used for the convenittnee of the friends of the mint of Philadelphia. Cur- Minty none of it comes to the Sub-Treasury here, for we learn that every request for it has been refused, and the Treasurer las been ob liged to purchase small change for the use of his office at the premium noticed above. We can hardly doubt but what the others of the mint will, upon consideration, see the justice of returning in kind ffie-sleposits of silver, even if mixed with a little geld., •If silver is wanted for three cent pieces, the large sniper:lgo upon that coin will,justity its purchase by the gov ernment, without taking it frOnt the just dues of depositors. We know that thesto who have charge of the mint are anxious to.give public satisfaction, as far as it can be done consistent ly with their official duties, and %V P trust that a modification of the oppressive rule will effect the relief desired.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce. President Fillrnore.—Wc learn from the Balti more American, that as an appropriate mark of respect for the President of the United States, a number of gentlemen; Senators, members of Congress, Judges of the Supreme Court, and ci tizens of both political parties, hate employed Mr. D. Stone to execute a btfst, in pure Italian mable, of Mr. Fillmore, with•the design of hav- Mg it placed permanently in the Presidential Mansion, as an appropriate testimonial to the the character of one who has so greatly adorned and dignified his high position. It is to be re. gretted that likenesses of all the Presidents have not been preserved in the same manner, Infamous. Silver Coin Clay. Webster and Calhoun. Unquestionably the three great men of our generation, in this country, have been John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.— Their places cannot be adequately supplied by any living statesmen, now prominent; Crit tenden, Benton and Cass are nearer to thorn than any others. While we mourn the loss of our greiit legislators and jurists, we have other feelings besides grief. America has been un just to them; Their exertions have net been requitted, though their lame does not rest on empty honors. They never left the least or highest duty unperformed, but the country has bestowed none of its highest honors in return. Truly and heartily do we respond to the Herald, that both Clay and Webster have gone to the tomb with a largo debt of gratitude still due to them, which this country might have repaid; life of untiring energy and devotion in the public service, lived to witness their own con temptuous rejection, and the preferment of men unquestionably their inferiors, to the of flee to which they had paramount claims. A Boy Shot by hie Father We do not remember when our feelings . were more touched with an account of a catas trophe, then on listening a few days since, to the relation of the circumstance of Mr. John Williams, of Covington township, Luzerne county, mistaking his son for a deer, and shoot ing him on the 11th of October. Mr. Williams left his house in company with Mr. James Par ry, for the purpose of showing him the way through the wooar to a point for which Mr. Parry had started, and took with him a loaded gun. After going about;4oo yards front his house, he thought he saw a deer, and taking close aim, fired. Ills horror can be better agined than described, on instantly hearing his little son Isaac, a fine boy of about 12 years of age, cry out, "Father, why did you shoot me . 1 " The father-exclaimed-to his companion, "Oh ! did ever man shoot his boy before?" Both men ran and met the boy approaching them, about 20 yards from the place where he was shot. It was observed that the ball had enter ed the back, near the shoulder blade, and pass ed through the body, passed out a little on one side of the centre of the breast. No hope was entertained that the .boy would live an half an hour. Mr. Parry was so confused and con founded that he knew little of what passed, and only recollects that it was proposed to car ry the boy into the house, about four hundred yards distant, to which the little felloW object ed, ind asked that he might lie down. " - Mtn his father's coat for a bed, his request was granted, when he cast an anxious look at his frantic parent, anti said, "Father, you will bury me oa the farm, won't you ?" Immediately Mr. Parry hastened for a physician, and on his way gave notice to a neighbor who hurried to the spot and carried the boy into the house against his will. The physician arrived, and believed tho boy would not survive through the night. lie did however, and as late as one week alter, when we last heard from him: was doing well, the physician and friends strong in the hope that he would recover, having come to the conclusion that the ball did not touch a vital part.. The little fellow is cheerful and patient, breathes well, has a good appetite, and talks freely. No doubt many a hearty prayer has been offered up to Heaven for his recovery.— Poor little fellow, may he be restored, and yet be a great blessing to his deeply sorrowed pa rent.— fl'ilkesbarrc Adovocatc. English Breeding A Yanlcee in Switzerland, writing of his de• scent from the Rhiga, to the Philadelphia E.ven - Mg Bulletin, gives us the following piquant ep isode: • • "It was at this point I had one of those epit codes of travel, which yield more enjoyment sometimes than a whole new cathedral. Here I in2t for the last time that Flying Dutch woman, our high bred English girl. We snw her first at the station when we left Paris last December.— Thence she was on every train with us, in every steamboat cabin, opposite us at every table d'hote all the way to Rome. Always with the same languishing eyes and eye-glass, the same long slab of hair glued to her cheeks, like spaniels' ears, the same supercilious lip, always with an open hook, always bored to death, always look ing as if the impertinence of everybody was too dreadful to be believed. At the gate of Rome we waited together in silence for our passports. At all hours we met, mutually invisible, on the l'incio. All winter she was in all the small rooms of the Vacitan, always coming out as we went in. In various palaces we passed her, al ways sitting tired and scowling blankly on a so. fa: When we went to Naples, there she was, by George ! in Pompeii, looking now as if we were intruding with our guide upon her private grounds. At Florence, months later, she wan again turning her eyes upon us with a distant stare, from her carriage, while the band was playing in the Cascine. And at Venice, when we made our first visit to the Academy, her gon• dole drew up alongside ours. There we lost her, we thought forever. And now to come upon her all at once, away up in this odd place, look ing down upon me inquiringly from the back of a mule, as if I were a specimen of the costume of the country, while her body was jerked to and fro by the movements of the clambering animal, was almost too much.like the solemn passing of unintroduced Englishmen on the desert, for my sedateness. Being after all, human, she saw that it was to, and made haste to draw down the twitching corners of her lips to a dignified length, and to turn her face with serene unconsoiour pess toward the landicape t Should we meet still higher, will it at last be proper 1 May I nod to her without olMsce—in heaven. Cause of Mr. We/niter's Death.—lt has been found onpost.rnotem examination, that Mr. Web. ster died of disease of the liver. The immediate cause of death was hemorhage from the stom ach and bowels, owing to a morbid state of the blood consequent upon the above disease. There was also dropsy of the abdomen. • Great Men Never Die In the oration delivered by Webster in Faneuil Hall, in 1828, on the death of Adams and Jeffer• son, he thus tells us, and his wards have now full application to himsolf, that great and good men never die Adams and Jefferson, I have said, are no more. As human beings, indeed, they arc no more.— They are no more, as in 1776, bold and fearless advocates of independence ; no more, at on sub. sequent periods, the heads of 'the government; no more, as we have recently seen them, aged and venerable objects of admiration and regard. They are no more. They are dead. But how little is there, of the great and good, which can die. To their country they yet live, and live, and live forever. They live in all that perpetuates the rememberance of men on earth; in the re corded proofs of their own great actions; in the offspring of their intellect ; in the deep engraved lines of publictratitude, and In the respect and homage of mankind. They live in their exam , ple, and they live, emphatically, and will live, in the influence which their lives and efforts, their principles and opinions, now exercise on the affairs of men, not only in their own country, but throughout the civilized world, A superior and commanding human intellect, a truly great man, when heaven vouchsafes so rare a gift, is not a temporary flame, burning bright for a, while and then expiring, giving place to returning dark ness. It is rather a spark of fervent 'heat, as well as radient Itglit, with power to enkindle the common mass of hitinan mind; so that when it glimmers in its own decay, and finally goes out in death, no night follows, but it leaves the world all light, all on tire, from the potent contact of its own spirit. Bacon died; but the human under• standing. roused by the touch of his miraculous wand, to a perception, of the true philosophy, and the just mode of inquiring after truth, has kept on its course,'successfully and gloriously. Newton died; yet the courses of the spheres are still finown, and they yet move on, in the orbits which he saw, and described for them, in the infinity of space. Cass Rebuking Douglass We have seen it stated in the Detroit papers that Gen. Cass, on giving a dinner to some po litical friends, lately, neglected to invite Senator Douglas, who was in the city; and also that in a speech, the same day, he referred so frequently to the charge of 'Old Fogyism" that Douglas left the stand in great displeasure. We do not wonder at this statement and are disposed to be. lieve it is strictly correct. Gen. Cass has too good a sense of what is right and dignified in pol itics to be able to pass over the vulgar dema ...r!,,..ctsm or such a paltry fellow rts Douglas, without administering to it a rebuke. It was perfectly natural and proper that a man like Gen. Cass, who has seen long service in the State, should take some opportunity of showing what he thought of the conduct of Douglas, ma king the Presidency a prize to be coptended for in bar - rooms and among low rowdies, and dis• gracing the office of resorts to the most undigni, feed means of electioneering. Thatsnch means etnployed by such men of honor, ability and long service, is'a reproach to the party that submits to their management and a disgrace to the coun try tht t brought under their influence. We re• peat, it was perfectly natural and proper that Gen. Cass should rebuke such a man, and we are glad to learn that it was done in a manner so effective as has been reported: Funeral of Rev. Conrad Miler.—The funeral of the Rev. Conrad Miller, late Lutheran Pastor of the Boyerstown and Swamp Churches, took place on the 12th of October, upon which occa sion, says the Norristown Watchman, it is vari ously estimated that from 8000 0. 10,000 per sons attended ; about r.no vehicles were there.

DeMme, 1). D., of Phila delphia, assisted by Rev. G. A. Wenzel, of the Trappe, and the Rev. Mr. Herman, of the Swamp. It is further stated that Friday the 29th of Octo ber, has been set apart by the Lutheran Congre gation at lloyerstown, for Eulogies, in English and German, upon the life and character of the deceased. The Rev. gentlemen selected fur the purpose, are Rev. J. W. Richards, of Reading, President of the Lutheran Synod of Pennsylva nia, and Rev. G. Wenzel, of . the Trappe, Mont gomery county. Murder by a Female al. Wisconsin.—lt has al ready been stated briefly, through the telegraph, that a man named 1. M. W. Lace..has. been shot dead, at Wilwaukie, by a female named Ann . Wheeler, who alleged hr had seduced her. It ap pears that Lace, at the time he was shot, eras looking in the window of a book store, and that Miss Wheeler, without speaking to him, walked up behind him, drew a pistol from her dress, and fired it close to the back of his bend. He fell dead without a groan, his blond gushing out, and forming pools upon the pavement. The Wis. consin says: When she saw him fall, she offer , . ed the pistol to those who surrounded her, and declared her readiness to submit herself to the authorities; declaring she had accomplished her object. She was immediately conducted to the jail, by officer Page, to whom she delivered a dirk, which she had held in reserve. It is said that she had met Lace a few minutes before, and demanded whether he intended to marry her, and received a negative answer. The dirk was purchased by the perpetrator of this awful deed, at one of our hardware stores.. it is more prop. erly speaking a dirk knife. She went to the store in the morning, and examined the article, and re. turned in the afternoon to complete the purchase, thus showing a fixed determination.

Fellow Citizens:—The Almighty and merciful God has continued His guardianship over our Commonwealth during the year that is past.— Except in a single community, which claims our sympathies, '•the pestilence that walketh in dark- ness, and the destruction that wasteth at noon• day," have not had his leave to smite. Health has generally prevailed. The tumult of internal strife has nut been heard. Unexampled pros. . perily has attended the peaceful pursuits of our citizens. "Seed time and harvest have return ed." Our garners have been filled with the fin. est of the wheat. Our cup of blessings has over flowed. The educational institutions of our Commonwealth are growing in the affections of the people, developing the youthful mind, and elevating our National character. General in• telligence rind morality are on the advance.— Our holy religion, through its own institutions, continues to exert its sacred influence on the public mind—to administer its consolations to the contribute and the pure, and inspire them with the hopes of imtnortality.t As a nation, we are at peace with all the world, and eminently prosperous. The free institutions of our government have been strengthened by trials of the past, and a brighter promise dawns upon the future. To God, moat great and good, we owe all our blessings. To Him our thanks arc due. Under this solemn conviction, and in confoim• Ity with the wishes of many good citizens, I, William Bigler, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby appoint Thursday the twenty fifth day of November next, as a day of general Thanksgiving and Prayer throughout the State, and earnestly beseech the citizens of the Commonwealth, of all classes, that setting aside all worldly business on that day, they unite in offering thanks to Almighty God for his bless• ings, and invoke the continuance of , His good.' fleas, Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, at Harrisburg. this twenty fifth day of October, In the year of our Lord one thousand " eight hundred and fifty two, and of the Com• monwealth the seventy•seventh, E.

GOODRICH, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth Shocking Accident—On Saturday last, Mr. Jo^ seph Davis, a most . worthy farmer, living near Money, in Lycoming county, was killed by the falling of a tree. The Luminary says, Mr. D., his brother and nephew, having treed a raccoon, proceeded to cut the tree down, as it fell it lodg ed in a large dead hemlock without limb., three feet in diameter, which broke off near the groom!, and falling back, struck Mr. D. and lit. orally crushed him to atoms—leaving scarcely a remnant of the human frame. Every bone in his body, saving one hand, the fore arm, and the two feet and lower part of the legs, were broken and crushed to pieces. The heart, together with some of the other intestines, were forced from the body and found some three feet distant. Newspaper Editors. Dr. Johnson says : I know no classes of the community from whom so muck disinterested benevolence and thankless labors are expected as from the editors of news papers. They are expected to feel for every one but themselves—to correct public abuses, and private ones also, without giving offence—to sustain the difficulties of others without regard to their own--to condemn improper measures of every one and not one at the same time. They are expected' te note everything that is import tint or extraordinary of men's opinions, and at the same time offend no one. The Iluride Family.—lt is stated that the pa. Pers for a claim of land have lately been'filed with the Land Commissioner in California, cov ering four thousand square leagues of land, (to be located on the west bank of the Sacramen to river, extending from Puta Creek to a point above Shasta city, and reaching back to Clear Lake and the Coast Range. The tract specified includes nearly all of Shasta, Colusi and Yolo counties. The claimants are the heirs of Au gustin de Iturbide, the first Emperor of Mexico, who was once banished, returned with a milita. ry expedition, was taken prisoner and shot.— The heirs of the Emperor are Don Augustino Iturbide, now a field officer of Mexican cavalry, who was taken prisoner at Cerro Gordo, where he fought bravely, a younger son and two (laugh ters, Dona Josefina and Dona Jesus. The three latter have for many years resided with the ex- Empressin this city. Bought and Sold.-A friend of ours who Hied on Gross Isle, who has an eye to a good horse, and who is always open to trade, was accosted near his own door lately, by a stranger who wan ted to enqtlirc the way. The stranger had under him a smart lively pony, which it struck our 'friend was near enough like one of his own to make a good mate; he therefore asked the way faring man what he would take for his beast 1 ..Well, I don't come 'te sell him, but if I let him go, I must have forty dollars." Our friend held his pony at eighty, and the stranger's animal appeared every wit as good; so he offered thirirtive dollars, and was taken" up and the money paid over. The afternoon was spent in search for the supposed pony, which of a sudden came up missing and could not be found. Putting that and that together, our friend was in. duced to examine his new purchase a little mare closely, when he discovered, by the aid of his family, that he had been buying his own hoise!
