Wlnt•r ta Coming. IVO aro now in the midst of November.— We have to expect the first of winter Weather, and we must now look only for the fireside re creations which give to the season its peculiar charm. The beauties which crowded,upon us in the open air have departed,—gone as the flowers whose fCagrance and beauty gratified the senses, and we are left to seek in other ob jects for that charm which summer bestows.— The change, however, is frequently advanta geous, as it drives us more to reflection and reading. Insensibly, when the forest is in its deepest green, and the brook murmurs on with scarcely an audible sound,—when the thousand voices of articulate nature swell on the car, we are led from communion with ourselves. But when the leaves have fallen, and the shadow has come over nature, we return to habits of thought and to intercourse with the great and good, whore works, of genius have billowed tl;e memory of the past, or from the true glory of the present. Now is the period for our young men and apprentices. to participate in the ad vantages of education, and thus to store their minds with that useful knowledge which fits them properly for the duties of life. Thus the changes of the season may be of incalculable advantage toothem and society. Attempted Robbery-. A man employed as a servant during the last summer by Mr. Deily, in Hanover township, this county, entered the house of Mrs. ZELNER, living near by, and stole papers to the value of nearly *B,OOO, and it is supposed also some money. Mrs. Zelner had absented herself from her house, merely turning the key and leaving it in the door. While she was absent the .vil lain entered, and being well acquainted about the house, lie had but little trouble in securing the papers and money, which were kept in a side closet. He was however prevented from escaping with his plunder by Mrs. Z. making her appearance; as soon as he heard her ap: preach the room where he was, he crept under a bed, but .his legs being somewhat on the " Shanghai " style, they studk out under the curtain, which was immediately observed by Mrs. Zon entering the room. Although she was considerably frightened, she approached the bed and lifted the curtain ; he then crawled from under the bed, gave up the papers, an then escaped and has not been heard of since, ' IVleder & Boyer.

It is a sad thing that there Should be so much bickering and contention in society about reli gion ; tliis spirit of contention is in itself so for eign to the nature of true religion, as to strike any thoughtful mind as being particularly out of place. Every one has their own creed and ;formula of worship, and candidly believe, no doubt, that theirs alone is the true and only one that leads through the straight and narrow path. For this they are not to blame ; no blame attaches itself to a person for his candid belief, hut, when people begin to criticize their neighbors, and 4o say, either inwardly or out wardly, I am holier than thou, then they over step the bounds of propriety, and . are governed by a spirit very foreign to the dictates of true religion. We are all children of one Father in heaven, all eqoaily dear to his parental love, and it is a bold matter for us to undertake to judge between a man and his Maker. There can'be no Chris tianity where there is no charity ; and we should exercise a large degree of this spirit towards our brethren, for heaven knows we al have need enough of such a spirit being exercised in the judgment of our own conduct. Religion, has got, of late years, to lie too much a theme of contention, in place of being an incentive alone to good deeds and brotherly love. "Men will wrangle for religion ; write for it ; fight for it: die for it; anything but—lire for it," says Colton. When we learn to live up to the prin ciples of our religious convictions, we shall be found to be better members of society, and to delight in doing good. - If you would judge of a man's principles. look not so much upon his Sundays,— church-going—as upon the manner in passes his whole week. Merely going to churct on the Sabbath ; forms a very small part of the duty of the Christian; indeed, that form or practice is of far less importance, than a vast nuinber of other daily requirements. South says, " he that is a good man, is three•quatters of his way towards the being a good Christian, wheresoever he lives, or whatsoever he is called." It is not the forms and ceremonies to which a man subscribes, by which he is to be 'adjudged a Christian or not, but by his every day life, his dealings with his brethren, and his love of real justice. Indeed, true Christianity is so simple. that the child may understand it,zquiring no long dissertation to make it clear tote understand ing, no metaphysical analysis to fix its princi ples. Tiro simple commandments toyer its sum total ; these arc to love God, and to love our neighbours ! Young, & The Fur Department at the store of Messrs Youxo Lsu, is replete to a point.

Our Slate Government. The Legislature of Pennsylvania assembles and organizes on the first Tuesday in January, annually, and the inauguration of the Governor takes place on the third day of the same month. These are provisions of the Constitution. A .egislative provision directs the election of C. S.

Several of the near relatives of Keyser were present, including the young woman he recently made his wife. Sentence had no sooner been passed, than the latter, feeling the full force of her situation, became violently agi tated. She wept bitterly, and clung to his neck, refusing to be separated from him. As the moment arrived fur their leave-taking, the agony of the wife became more violently mani fested, and her lamentations were most painful hear. Finally they had to be forcibly parted, le to be taken to the gloomy cell, and she to desolate home, Gr 's PlbrontAr.. —This well known pu lie tion was sold at Boston, on Saturday to"eth er with the entire establishment's good-will, material, &c., and also those of the Flag of Our Union, to MaturinM.

A BRIM` AND EXPRESSIVE TIIANESDIVING 'PROCLAMATION.—Gov. Powell, ofKentucky, hag given an example Of expressive brevity in his thanksgiving proclamation, worthy Of special approbation : "I, Lazarus W. Rowell, Governor of• the Cothmonwealth of Kentucky, do set apart Thursday, the 30th day of November, 1854, as a day of Thanksgiving, and request that the people of Kentucky on that day do, suspend their ordinary pursuits, in order that all may attend on•assemblages for priryer; thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty 'God fOr the numer able blessings he has bestowed.upon us as a People, State, and Nation." • RELIGION. 21111 TERRITORIAL EXTENT TIIE UNITED STATER. -The territorial area of the I7nited State% at he peace of 1783, was 820,980 square miles.- I.t the present day, it is 2,936.166. It is nearly ten times as large as ( b eat Britain and France combined; three times as large as the whole of France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, and Den mark together one and a half times as large as the Russian Empire in Europe : one sixth less only than the filly-nine or sixty Empires, States, and Republics of Europe ; of equal ex tent with the Roman Empire, .or that of Alex ander; neither of which have exceeded 3,000,000 square miles. Of our territory, the -Pacific slope is stated at 706,002 square miles ; the Atlantic slope privet., 514,416 ; Northern lake region, 112,649 ; gulf region, 325,537 ; Atlan tic, lake, and,,gulf, east and west of the Missis sippi, 952,602 ; Mississippi valley, drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries, 1,217,50; Atlantic, including northern lake, 627,005; Mississippi valley and gulf, or middle region, 1,513,099. Thus, over two fifths of the nation al territory is drained by the Misslssippi and its tributaries, and more than one half is em braced in what may be called the middle region, OYSTERS.--in New York, according to the Times," the oyster business has been par ally suspended, and upon the authority of Q. prominent oyster-planter, that paper says:— " The city is supplied with oysters chiefly, if not entirely, by sixty oyster planters, who sell daily on an average $3OO worth, at the average rate, of 810 a thousand: That would make the daily average sales of each dealer about 30,000, add fir the whole sixty about :3,000,000, and worth about $ 3 0.000. Of the three millions of oysters daily brought to this city, it is probable that there are at least 200,- 000 daily consumers. It is very evident from ,this filet that there can be no general disease among the oysters for, if there were, the mor• tality among the consumers must:have been much greater than it has been. There is no nr. tide of food so universally used among us at this'present season of the year as oysters, and we venture to say that there is no kind of meat in general use which induces less disease. We presume the panic will be Temporary; all that is necessary is for the consumer to be sure that his oysters are fresh, that is, that they have not been out of the water more than twenty-fotir hoUis." INCIDENT AT .1 WEDDING.—One evening last week, while the ceremony of marriage between a happy pair was proceeding at St. John's Episcopal Church at Charlestown, the lady, the daughter of one of the first citizens of the place, there being 'in attendance no less than sixteen bridemaids and groomsmen and a large•on course of relatives, friends and interested spec tators, the flooring of a portion of the church gradually settled till it lowered some eight or ten feet. Though much alarm was experienced, no actual accident occurred to any of the vast concourse, and the ceremony was completed, doubtless to the full gratification of all present. —Telegraph.

A disinterested individual, who measured the acre of land and the corn as it was luisked.from the stalks, will be qualified under oath as this yield, and that it was only a fair average of the whole field. Mr. Mee., from another field of Gt. acres, se cured GO bushels per acre. At our late Fair this crop was brought to the notice of the " Committee on Agricultural Pro ductions," but as there was no of it, at the Exhibition, they could noti, by )he rules of the society take it into consideration, and therefore this superior corn did not receive the first premium, which it might have won.

Last Sunday Pantelia Meyers, alias:- Snyder. was arrested at Nicetown, in the upper section of the consolidated city of Philadelpliia, on the charge of having murdered five of her own off spring, and to which she subsequently confes sed. The North American, is speaking of the horrible crime says: " She is twenty-two years of age, and has been living for a long time as a domestic at a house in , the vicinity of the Rising Sun village. About three weeks since she haq a chid, but being a woman of remarkable Wily energy. she did nut cease her work for a single day. A few days since the child suddenly disappeared, and circumstances led to the suspicion that she had thrown the infitnt into the hog-pen, and that it had been eaten by the hogs ! Informa tion being lodged against the woman, she was arrested on Sunday, and committa to the county nrrihon. Startling developments follow le arrest. Persons who were intimately acquainted with Miss 'Meyers allege that; with , out being married, she had borne no less than five children. " The first child she attempted to smother: but, being detedted in this, the life of her child was preserved only to fall a victim to small-pox three weeks afterwards. She had three other children besides the two we have mentioned, all of whom disappeared suddenly : and there is reason to believe that they were thrown to the hogs for food ! These things are so horrible that we could scarcely i l eceive them as true, were it not for the authority on which they are related. Officers are now busy in searching out persons supposed to be implicated in the crimes of Miss Meyers, and those who will serve as evi <knee to fitslen the guilt upon the unnatural mother. Miss Meyers is now lying very ill, and we cannot say when site will be able to attend a hearing. It is long since the community was shocked with the details of such, a horrible crime, and we trust, for the sake of humanity, that sonic of the allegations may be disaprovcd." The Ledger, in its account, says : " When confronted by the Mayor, she at once commenced a confession of her horrible misdeeds. She stated that she had been the mother of six children, all of whom had been made way with by herself except one, which had died and was buried by her uncle, its (littler.— The others had been strangled by her and thrown into the cesspool. She was about ma king a full confession of her crimes when the Mayor hiliirmed her she had better wait and see her counsel. She was then conveyed to the county prison. Her uncle, Thomas Snyder, has also been arrested and committed to await an investigation. The accused is unmarried and quit F good looking and genteel in her appear anc4 with Ent little about her to indicate that she would beguilly ofsuch an enormous outrage as she stands charged with. " A number of witnesses from the vicinity 0: the outrage appeared at the Mayor's office ; an from one of them we ascertained that the cit zenti-in the vicinity have for several years ha suspicions of these murders, but that they ha been presented in so secret a manner that al attempts to ascertain the truth hate beet abortive. • - young man residing in the vicinity o Mr. Rice's house (where she has been staying for sotne time) is suspected of being an adcorn plice in the affair, but the police have not yet been able to find him."

The Dispatch states that Carrier got into the car and rose above the heads of the multitude, when, to the astonishment of every spectator, he cut the cords which held the balloon to earth, and waving his hat, sailed off rapidly towards the sky. The disappointment of Mr. Elliott, who was anticipating a magnificent aerial voyage, so affected him that he fainted, and during the evening two physicians had to be called in Carrier, when last seen, had ascended to a grey height.
