CUt \Atgioitr. ALLENTOWN, PA. WEDNESDAY, MAROII-14; 1855. .07 - V. B. PALMER,:Esq., N. W. corner of Third and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, is our authenticated Agent for• receiving advertise; monts and subscriptions to the Lehigh Register. TUlNlcssrs. ltSass, WEISER, And CRAIG, at Ilarrisurg, will please Accept our thanks for Legislative doctitnents. o"The next Court will commence on Tues day the 3rd of April, and not on the 2nd, as tated in the Proclamation last week, Public School Examination. An examination of each of the Public Schools, in their respective rooms, is to commence on Monday the 10th inst., to continue five days. Persons who can make it convenient should at tend, as the exercises will no doubt prove in teresting and instructive. These public ex aminations certainly stimulate to improvement, and often draw out latent talent which otherwise might lay "dormant. Keep your Doors Locked. We learn that several houses in town were lately entered by straggling vagabonds on pre tence of begging, and in the absence of the in mates, they appropriated to themselves such articles as they could lay hands on. We would advise persons to_bc on their guard. =I The spring season for advertising is now at hand. There is no one who has been deeply engaged in mercantile pursuits, that cannot testify to its numerous advantages. Notice, if you will the different firms in town, and you will see at once that-tliese who advertise do a business to almost double the amount of those who do not. If you want business, advertise. If you are a hatter, is your name so familiar to the public, that when a man looks at his old hat and says to himseif, " I must have a new hat," ho will think of you. If you are a tailor, make yourself so conspicuous that a man will think of you every time he brushes his coat. When a man lOoks at his boots in dusty weather, and says to himself, I " must go and buy a pair cf patent leathers," have your name so familiar to him, that he will think of you and your place of business just as soon as he dues of his boarding plaCe when ho is hungry. It is the same with everything and every body who advertises extensively. Their names, become familiar with the people and are associated in the midst so much with their goods and arti cles of merchandise, that all who want what they sell, are drawn as by instinct, to their shops and stores. There is nothing like ad vertising. If you do not believe it, try it and be convinced. New Luthernsa Church The new Lutheran Church is rapidly advanc ing towardS completion, and will probabl/ be ready for the accommodation of the congrega tion in the latter part of April. It is by fie• the most imposing church edifice in town. The style is Gothic, which is finely adapted for ef fect. The entire building will be heated by three hot Air Furnaces in the basement. The brick work of the building was executed by Messrs. Ssu' & NAGEL, and the carpenter work by BALLIET & SON. The fresco painting was ex ecuted by Messrs. LAMOR & Co., of Philadel phia, and reflects great credit on their artistic skill. When we take into view tho'unpropi tious time at which this improvement was cat'. tied on--materials being high,—ahnost every body feeling the scarcity of money, and labor advanced front the scarcity of subsistence, we must say, that those entrusted with the man agement deserve great credit fin• the present ad vanced state of the Church. We are told that the ultimate cost of the building will be about $12,000. When the edifice is finished it will _be an honor to our town, and redound to the credit of its projectors. V IRE. At about half-past nine o'clock last night a fire was discovered in the dwelling occupied by Mr. JESSE FAEVEIL, in Linden street near Fourth. There arc several stories as to the origin of the fire, the most credible being that Mr. F. had been in the basement with a candle in the even ing to cut wood, and that a spark had commu nicated with some shavings which were kept in a basket standing near a partition wall. The fire was extinguished without doing any serious damage. Arrested A man named Jacon Deus, formerly of East Allentown, was arrested on Sunday last on a charge of stealing uinety-five dollars from a man in Northampton county. The man: had been at work in the second story of a house, and had left his coat hanging in a room on the ilrstlldr,in the Pocket of„which he had a pocket book containing the above amount. The pocket book and about thirteen dollars in money were found in the posSession of DOM. Ile was sent to the Northampton County Jait to awiit his trial at the next Court. , Allentown BROIL• We learn from Harrisburg that the bill in corporating the Allentown Bank received the signature of Gov. Pollock on Saturday last.— No message has as yet been sent to the Legisla ture communicating this faCt, s but it is believed to be true. Wu are pleased to make this .au nouncement to our readers, as no town in the State requires Banking capital more than Al lentown. The inhabitants of our town have been laboring under great inconvenience for many years, as all banking business had to be transacted at Easton, a distance of eighteen miles, costing a great less of time and outlay of money. This bill was the ffrst presented to the Governor fur approval, and it is evident that the Governor regarded it as a case where a new bank was actually necessary. There are now sonic fifty or sixty other bills before the Legislature awaiting to be passed. cfiptpdhoti Look Here!' Wo wish tb-ctill 6o'hitoraion of capitalists and busineaS men from abroad to Allentowa-as a place possessing great advantages for . Mann facturing;.- Wo have: water power capable of propelling the.heaviest machinery. The west eligible 'sites might hero be obtained foi rolling mills, forges, sail works, foundries, &c., and which could not help but succeed if rightly managed. Labor, rents, and living, are far cheaper than in eastern cities. • By conducting an enterprise of this kind here, many important advantages would be sustained over eastern es tablishments. Ist. The pig metal is on hand, which saves the cost of transportation. 2nd. Labor is not so higli,,beeause it costs the opera tor less to live—produce being obtained with out the cost of shipment. 3rd. The market, for the Mannfactured article is, we may say, at the door, and costs but very little for its trans portation; Our agricultural resources arc not inferior 'to any in the State. Our town is healthy and beautifully situated, and inhabited by an honest and industrious people. The Lehigh Valley Rail Road will connect with onr place in July, and the North Pennsylvania Rail Road will be completed in about a year.. When once in operation, our town will assume a de gree of business importance not inferior to any inland town in the State. We have now about 6000 inhabitants. Six years hence, we have no doubt, it will be more than double that number. Our town would feel a new and accelerated im pulse by manufactories springing up around us. For every hand employed, no matter in what mechanical or laboring business, there will be an additional mouth to feed, and some times half a dozen ; for every family brought here a house will be wanted—and of course all the ramifications of society, from the wood saver to the merchant, will receive the benefits of the addition. There is not in all Pennsyl vania besides, a region of country so admirably adapted in all respects for manufacturing pur poses, ns the Lehigh Valley. * It is affluent in mineral wealth—boundless in resources—and that all these have not long since been fully de veloped, is not so much from an ignorance of their existence,.as from a lack of enterprise and a paucity or capital—essential elements in all important undertakings. These are a few facts which every discerning mind must comprehend readily—facts worthy the consideration of every man who wishes to cngnge in manufacturing enterprises. We might enlarge with a still longer editorial upon the subject, but as the Miter is plain and conclusive, we defer further comments for the present.

One paragraph !thews what is doing in England, in this branch of Industry. " The annual production in Great Britain is about two million seven hundred thousand tons. During the last year, more than seventy new fur Paces have been put up there, which will af ford an addition of over live hundred thousand tons. So that the product in England is uhitoSt equal to the entire demand of the Whole World. When that market is pressed upon, the price of iron becomes high, and when that market is ab stained from, it becomes cheap ; so that when ever we cease to manufacture iron in this coun try under a proper competition tariff we have to pay more for it in England. Sineo 1845, millions of dollars have been invested brour citizens in the enterprise of getting skilled labor, and carrying on the business of making railroad iron, and they now produce One hundred and sixty thousand tons of a first rate article, (and they will, in a few years, produce twice that amount, if not legislated out of existence,) which comes in competition with the English article." • It will be observed that, England is extend ing her operations much more 'rapidly than we are doing in this county. The new tariff bill which was before Con gress, proposed large reductions in the rates of duties imposed by the Tariff of ISO. It also proposed to defer the payment of duties on rail road iron for the present, and then a total re mission of the dutieS would have been asked for at a future session. Thanks. to Mr. Brod head and others, this scheme was defeated in the Senate of the United States. NORTHAAIPTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SO.

Iteesseireei of tise;Uatiteil litotes!. •Mr G ail Wcirri64,lll%, Ne'w York; has pro: pared:a vary 0014 , Abitractiortlie Census of 1850. Froth this ice loam , that the' amount of capital actually irwested ivagrieulture, was as follows: • ' • ' • cash value of farms 83,271,575,42 E Cash value of live stock 544,150,51 E Cash value of. huplements 151,587163 S Total The amount of capital invested in manufac tures, mining, the mechanic arts and fisheries, was $527,290,193, or less than one seventh of that employed in tricullure. The amount of the commerce, trade, &e., of the united States, during the same year, is esti mated nt $1,5000,000,000. or about one !bird more than the value of the agricultural pro ducts. The estimate, however, is of doubtful accuracy. The number of free males over fifteen years of age employed in agricultural labor in 1850, was 2 ; 400,583, or nearly as many as in all other occupations. The rural population of the country is estima- . ted at 17,393,907, or three-Jin:ols of the whole, living almost without exception by the direct productiveness of the land. The town and village- population is estimated at 5,797,969. At the same time, thrce-iburths of the com merce and trade consist in exchanges oiagri cultural products ; consequently threc-ITirths of those employed in these branches of indus try, are directly dependent on agriculture for their earnings. The supposed area of the territory of the United States in 1850, was 340455,680 acres ; the area in use was 293,560,614 acres : of this amount, there were of improved land 113,032,614 acres ; unimproved 180,528,000 acres. The proportion of land in use w.as ns follows : Tinproved, per' cent. 7.71 ; unimproved, pc] emt. 11.31. The prciporlton of land in use is greatest hi the - Middle States. • The occupied land is divided into 1,440,075 farms and plantations. The average size of farms is 203 acres. The average value of farmsjs $2258. The average value of occupied land per acre, in various localities, is thus stated : fit New England, $20.27 ; in the Middle States, $28.07 ; in the Southern States, $5.34 ; in the South , .Western States, $6•26 ; in the North-Western Stales, $11.39 ; in California and the organized Territories, $6.26 ; iu Texas, SI.SS ; in the whole country, $l4-14. The value of the live stock owned in the Uni ted States, in 1850, was estimated at F.,i544,- 180,51 G, The number of animals was as follows : Neat Cattle, 18,373 ; 007 ; horses, 4,335,7/0; Piles and Asses, 559,331 ; Sheep, 21,7:23,220 ; Swine, 30,251,213. The value of our Poultry was est.b4ted by Dr. Bennett at $20,000,000. The neat cattle enumerated in the census were divided as follows: Mitch Cows, 6,355,091; 11'orking Oxen, 1,- 700,7•1 : { ; Calve.,:, Steers, Fat l'atAle, , 18,- 293,069.

A num' was convicted in Delaware in 1853, of murder, and was sen tenced to be bung, but on three several occa sions was granted a respite, the last one on March lith, 18.53. It appears, however, that lie has not yet been executed, and ,a few days ago, he tvas brought out on a habeas corpus, and his discharge demanded, on the ground that the day appointed for his execution was passed ; and there being no power to fix the the day, the prisoner was entitled to be set at liberty. The court, however, remanded him to the custody of the sheriff: SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-A man named Mat tocks, from Philadelphia, while engaged in fir ing a salute in Richmond county, Vn., on the 32nd ultimo, was dreadfully injured. The Richmond Despatch says : His left aim was broken near the Shoulder, and again between the :wrist and elbow ; his right arm blown olf just below the elbow ; his right eye destroyed, and the sight of the left very munch hi:paired,- if not destroyed, and his .whole thee very Much mangled.

Nsw MOTIVE POWEIL-Mr. Samuel Gibson, near Cochranville, Chester county, has con structed a small locomotive engine which is moved upon a novel principle. The motive power is compressed cold air. lie has been maturing his plans for two years, but for the want of funds and proper facilities, has not been able to progress as rapidly as desirable.— Ile is a laboring man, and has carried on his mechanical labors under many difficulties-- Ile has succeeded in constructing a model en gine, about ten inches long, which moves upon a plant: floor, gaining velocity .as it proCeeds, without any 'oilier agency, than cold air. The machine is attracting much attention, and would seem to come as near perpetual motion as any thing which has been invented. A lit tle atmospheric air forced into the air chamber, puts the piston in motion, and the machine moves off witlt.all the gravity of a steam engine, and continues move forward, generating condensed air, aid increasing iu speed and power. To Cram TUB Cnour.—A writer in the Coun try Gentlemen gives the following prescription fur the Croup—Divest the child of all clothing about the neck and chest, then bathe the throat and upper part of the chest, freely with cold water. Let this be done by pouring, sponging or very frequent application of wet cloths.— While this is being done, prepare warm water and immerse the feet in it. This gives relief. in a short time ; the child should be put quietly to rest, with a jug of warm water to the feet, when perspiration and sleep soon follow. •Any one who can follow these directions immediate ly, and it is a complaint which is soon fatal un less checked in the early stages, and many pre. cious lives are lost because a physician is not nt hand until too tate to Qave from suflbcation. A PEDLAR Murtnmixn.--A Louisville paper pulllishes au account of the murder of a pedlar in Warrensburg, Mo., who had taken lodgings with a companion at a private house. Ilno of them retired early, leaving his companion sit ting up. Tlw latter, after an interval, fllowed. and groped his way in the dark to the bed, where'the other lay, when, putting forth his hand, lie found him motionless, and lying in•a pool of blood. Ascertaining by further exami nation that•his friend was dead, he turned to go out to give an alarm, but met three men enter ing the door. These men were the assassins, and as they Were evidently about to take his life also, the pedlar drew a large knife with which he was armed, and defended himself with such desperation that he killed all of his assail ants. Two of the assassins were unarmed, the other bore an axe, the same instrument he had used ill murdering the sleeping man.

Book er, of New Orleans, has discovered a chemical preparation which, mixed with mud, as n bricklayer would mix limo with sand, makes an excellent coal !--coal that can be made and sold in the New Orleans market for thirty cents per barrel, if made by hand, or fifteen, cents if made by machinery. It lights easily ; there is no olfensive smell emitted ; but little smoke, and but very little dust or cinders. What little cinders are left, is good for cleaning sil ver, brass or other similar metals ; and tho ::sees make a tolerable sand paper, mid is also good for scrubbing Iloors, &c, " The patentee also assures us," says the American Exponent, that it will not only burn well in grates (where we saw it burning), but in stoves, furnaces fur sinelting, and for making steam. , In fact, it - can be put to all the practical uses of wood or coal, except for the purpose of generating Es Sm.! volt QM:CCM:S.-If you wish your Quince bushes to bear plentiful crops of large and golden fruit, train them with a single trunk and a low bushy head, leaving no shoots or suckers to draw their nourishment from the main slca• Then dig up the ground well in spring or early summer, and scatter two to four quarts of salt over the surface as far as the roots extend alter which. spread a thick layer of straw or forest leaves around thou, and they will take care of themselves until the fruit harvest, when you will be amply repaid for all your trouble.

The aver age amount of lard, per hog, is 32, pounds.— The total amount of lard in commerce, is esti mated at ninety-six millions of pounds. Of this amount, twenty millions are shipped from Cincinnati. England and Cuba take more lard of us than all the rest of the world. Each of these countries buy over eight millions of pounds. In the Nrest Indies lard is very gene rally used as a substitute for butter. Lard oil is made more extensively at Cincinnati than at any other point in the Union. Thirty thousand barrels of it are annually sent from that city. The demand for lard over the world is on the increase, and prices will probably be sustained. EXECUTION OF A DisrknnrS NIX3EO.—The negro Artis, who was sentenced to death for murdering his daughter; Was executed at Syd ney, Shelby' county, Ohio, on the 22d ult. Ile fought desperately with the officers on his way to the gallows, and tore the coat completely off the deputy sheriff in endeavoring to resist. the efforts made in putting the rope around his neck. It took six men to secure him upon the scaffold, and when tkt, last he was swung oT ho managed to get hold of the rope with his hands which prevented , the fall from breaking his neck. After struggling violently for some time, ho was choked to death, when his body was taken down and burned.
