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.

Railroad Iron. -
We have received the Speech of Mr. Blio,tn-
HEAD, in opposition to the Repeal of the 'duty
on Railroad Iron. 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.

•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:

A Nov Er. CAsn. 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

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.

THE MAltell!ro OtAVE.—What a mighty
procession, has been marching towards the
grave during the last year. At the annual
estimate since the Ist of January, 1853, more
than 31,500,000 of the world's population has
gone down to thb earth. Place them in along

BURNIND MUD FOll Cum.—Dr. Thos. 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

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

iTION OF GRKASE.—TheHOIMUIt Price Cur
rent contains sonic very interesting statistics
upon the produce of lard in our country : " The
number of hogs killed the last season and pack
ed for commerce is three millions. 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

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

ho was choked to death, when his body was
