ary which
ered by pa
o day when the
ade to the world, that
. n are born free and equal—
. fleeted with the immortal memories
.;1 arson, Hancock, Adams, Franklin, Living
ston, and a host of others. To us it is tho day of
all days—and should never be any other than a
nationejubilee, in which every American voice
should be raised in praise. There is something
glorious in that day. because •it is associated
with deeds and virtues tho' noblest and the
best, because it reminds us of the great and
good soul of humanity, when that soul down
trodden and oppressed by the iron heels of
power, rose up in the strength which God had
even it, and strewed the hills and vallies with
the blood of despotism,---and it is glorious be
cause it reminds us of our present situation,
' made so, by the glorious men of the revolution,
who, shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart;
battled in the days of " 76," and poured out
a bloody sacrifice, that we might now enjoy the
blessings of our present day.
Though we are not by any means venerable,
we have lived long enough to see a great dimi
nution of interest, in this part of the world, in
celebrating the national festival. It is the only
one that is acknowledged throughout the length
and breadth of the land. In some places it is
still duly honored, but, alas ! Allentown has
sadly fallen off in this respect, a fact which is to
be deeply regretted.
Since the above was put in type, we have
been informed that our citizens arc awakening
from their lethargy, and arc now busily engaged
in making arrangements to celebrate the day in
a patriotic and spirited manner. The whole
fire department will be out, as well as the mili-
tarp. One of the most pleasing features of the
celebration will be the parade of the Veterans
of 1812. These old soldiers, tottering with
age, ought not to pass through our streets with
out exciting feelings of gratitude in the bosoms
of the rising generation. Patriotic orations will
be delivered by eminent speakers in lie after
noon in the Court House Lawn, and a grand
pyrotechnic display will take place in the
evening.
By reference to our advertising columns it
n•ill be seen that a celebration is also to take
plade at CataSauqua.
We are now in the midst of the lovliest part
of the year,—the fields, the gardens, the fruit
trees and shrubbery,' in short, everything is
clothed in verdure, and the air pregnant with
an odoriferous scent. Truly, a more lovely
place than our beautiful Allentown, can not be
desired, and we have often wondered, why it is,
that strangers from the large cities do not more
frequently conic among us during the warm
summer months. We have within half a mile
of our Borough, one of the largest and most
beautiful springs in the State, with water pure
and limpid as crystal. The scenery around us
is indeed picturesque and grand, and to strang.
els cannot fail to elicit feelings of satisfaction
A ppOillt meat.
Gov. Pollock has appointed our old friend,
JosErn DErrniat, of this Borotigh, Aid to his
Excellency, with the rank of Lieut. Colonel..
This is decidedly a good appointment. lle will
bear his honors with becoming dignity, and
should an emergency arise to call him to the
field, the Governor will find in Col. Dietrich, a
true heart and strong arm to defend - the right.
We congratulate the Colonel on his
,promotion,
and the Governor on his good fortune in select
ing a gentleman so eminently worthy of his
confidence.
On Saturday afternoon last, Mr. CnAttu:B
DESIMER., of Lowhill township, came to his
death in a most shocking.manner. Ile came to
town In the forenoon with a four-horse team
for the purpose of procuring a load of lumber.
After dinner he started for home, and when in
the vicinity of the residence of Mr. John
Kralzer, in South Whitehall, he attempted to
get from the wagon, but in so doing made a
mis-step and fell, so that one of the hind wheels
passed almost lengthways over his face, com
pletely crushing his . head, and causing instant
death. lle was , about :15 years of age, and
leaves a bereaved widow and four children to
niourn the loss of their protector. Alas !-Ilow
true, that " in the midst of life we are in
death."

PRICES OF PRODUCE IN NEW YanK.—Since
our last paper, flour has declined slightly
in price. Common to good State sold at $lO
to $lO.lB per barrel. Rye flour, $8.75 to
$B.Bl per barrel. Corn meal, $5.12 to $5.37
per barrel. Wheat sold at from $2.37 up to
$2.80 for the various qualities, western red
being the lowest on the list and white Genesee
the highest. Rye is scarce, and has been as
high ns $1.75 per bushel. Oats are unchanged
in price. Corn sold at from $l.OB to 1.18 per
bushel. Country mess beef, new, sold at $10.25
to $12.50 ; re-packed Chicago, Indiana, &c.,
$15.23 to $15.75. Beef hams, $l6 to $2O per
barrel. First quality beef cattle sold at 13 to
'l3l cents per pound ; medium, 12 to I% cents ;
poorest 11 to 11i cents. In swine, live weight,
the prices were 5i to 6 cents per pound. In
the retail market meat is still higb, and main
tains the same inordinate rate, notwithstanding
the reduced price of cattle. The butchers are
always ready to raise the price of meat when
cattle are high, but not- so willing to reduce
when it comes down again. Vegetables are
abundant and as cheap as can be expected.
New potatoes are in from Charleston and Ha
vana and Bermuda, and are very fine for so
early in the season. They sell at 50 cents per
half peck. Strawberries have been selling at
ten cents the basket, and cherries at fifteen cents
per pound. Eggs sell at 9 for 12 cents. and
butter at 25 to 31 cents per pound. Green
peas 31 cents per peck.
LATEST FORE MN NEWS.--The steamship Afri
ca arrived at Halifax, on Tuesday, with advices
from Europe one week later. The Vienna Con
ferences are to be reopened. A secret expedi
tion is in preparation in the Crimea. The siege
of Sebastopol remains unchanged, and the
French commander, Pelissier, is to comtemplate
an attack upon the Russians in the field. The
latest engagement wis before the Flag Staff
battery, in which the French had succeeded in
destroying some important Russian works. In
the British House of Commons, the motion of
a want of confidence in the Ministry failed.
The reopening of the Vienna Conferences was
proposed by Austria. The preliminary meet
ings had taken place in Vienna, between repre
sentatives of the Allies. Austria opens with a
fresh plan to arrange the disputed third point.
A spirited engagement took place on the
right attack of the Allies on the night of the
10th, in which the loss was considerable. It
was repeated on the 11th. On the 12:th the
Russians made a sortie against the left attack.
The Russians charged up the British trenches,
and some leaped over the parapets and were
bayoneted. The loss was severe. The British
lost a captain, and over 100 men were put hors
du combat. General Pellissier telegraphs on the
2.41.11, that a very lively combat had occurred
in front of his most important position, which
lasted all the previous night. He says—" We
obtained complete success. The Russian loss
is enormous, and ours has been considerable."
The Patrur gives further particulars, and states
that the French attacked the Russian entrenched
camp, near Quarantine Bastion, on the night of
the 22d, and again on the 23d, when it was
carried by assault.
SUDDEN Dc.vrti.---A man named Lucas, mid
dle aged, died in West Chester on Monday
week, suddenly. Ilis symptoms and suflivings
indicated something like an inflamation of bow . -
els ;, but still the mystery of the case led to a
post modem examination of the body, when it
was found that his death arose from ulceration
of the bowels, caused by the lodgment of a date
seed that had probably been swallowed some
weeks if not months before. The date seed is
long and slender, hard and indigestible. Seri
ous results from swallowing the stones of fruit;
cherry, plum, &c.—arc not uncommon. Chil
dren are sometimesin the practice of swallow
ing the stones of cherries. Generally they pass
off, but every medical man is familiar with the
serious if not fatal consequence. The fatal ef
fects from the date seed in the above case,
aflitrds a fit occasion for cautioning our readers
against the evil practices alluded to.—Register.
PAYMENT SUSPENDED.—The Lancaster Sav
ings Institution closed its doors on Monday
last, in consequence of the discovery that the
Treasurer, Charles Boughter, was a defaulter
to a very heavyitmount—stated at from•s2Bo,-

on the charge of embezzlement. Property and
stocks, valued at $lOO,OOO, have been obtained
from the defaulting Treasurer. His bail is held
for $20,000.--The capital stock of the Institu
tion is $50,000 ; and at the last annual state

have their names posted up in the different Post
Offices of the country, thus publishing-their ig

in New York, if not in the world."
DEATIT OF JIM TITERS, TUE C,LOWIC—We
learn from the Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser, that
Jim Myers, the noted clown of Myers & Madi
gan, was killed while performing on the slack
rope, at Geneva, on Saturday last. It appears
the iron ring to which the rope was fastened
gave way, in consequence of which he was pre
cipitated to the ground and his brains dished
out.

Freaks of Lightning.
On the 2d inst., lightning, in a ball of fire,
descended into the chimney of Capt. David Up
ton's houie on Great Chebeague island, Maine,
and demolished it down to the oven, scattering
the bricks, of course, very freely, and doing
such other damage as Capt. Daniel Stowell de
scribes in the Portland Advertiser. It is
curious and interesting account of freaks, which
it is safer to read than to witness :
" The family of six persons were at supper,
and their escape with theft• lives is a miracle.—
Old Mrs. Upton's right arm is cut to the bone
above the elbow, and she is otherwise badly
bruised. Her grand-daughter, Marietta Hamil
ton, six years old is so bruised as to be purple
from the hips to the feet, and is in a precarknis
condition. David Upton, jr., is badly bruised
about the head and face. Ilis child in his arms
was unhurt ; also his wife standing near, and
old Mr. Upton, likewise unhurt.
But the effects of the lightning about the
premises is astonishing. Old Mr. Upton was
eating a bowl of bread and milk, with one hand
upon the bowl, the other holding the spoon,—
the bowl was broken in his hand, and the spoon
has not been found. Old Mrs. Upton had a cup
of tea in der hand, and when she came to her
self she was partly under the table, with a piece
of the cup in her hand and herself covered with
the wreck of the chimney among which was a
piece of timber, from the front of the fire place,
eight feet long With a flat bar of iron of the
same length attached. The grand-daughter
was thrown from her seat at the table to near
the fire-place and was literally covered with
bricks and mortar. Nearly every article of
crockery in the house, two clocks, three looking
glasses, and two old-fashioned oak tables in the
kitchen, are smashed. The chair in which old
Mrs. Upton was sitting was broken into twen
ty-eight pieces—every chair in the kitchen was
broken. Every partition in the house was re.
moved from its pcsition and more or less s
tered
The fluid seems to live gone through the
)ottont of a cooking stove sitting in the kitche
fire-place, leaving a hole as if made by a shot
four inches in (howler, taking drone leg of the
stove, then entering the cellar through the floor,
leaving a hole large enough fin• a man to pass.
The sills of the house on the south side and
east end were sundered and thrown off under-
pining, so that that side and end hung suspe
ed from the roof. The arch in the cellar ma
ing the foundation of the chimney, which ik of
stone masonry, two feet thick, were asunderin
four different places. The fluid seems to have'
passed ofrthrough the northeast and southeast
corners of the cellar wall : the wall, built of
stone, two feet wide by one thick; lnih• flat in
masonry, being severed in two places from to
to bottom, the line of separation being straigh
nna l well defined. Here the stones are blacken
ed as if by powder.
The hoops of one barrel of molasses, two
soap barrels and one keg were all but off—a
stone jar sitting on a board over one of these
barrels, was severed horizontally, and the hot-
om pait unmoved, the top being eakied off.
Every window sash Ludic house is complete
y demolished, excepting one in the west chain
ber. Here there is a square of glass with a
space cut out as if by the point of a diamond,
ust the size of a brick—two inches by eigh
showing that n brick had been projecte ,
through it 'quick as lightning.' Five doors i
he lower part of the house were shattered to
Ucces. A large tight trunk filled with fine
clothing, &c., was locked and apparently unin
jured outwardly, yet on being opened, the soo
rom the chimney lay half an inch thick over
he contents, and sifted through in every direc-
on. Tin pans of milk on a shelf in the cellar
crc unharmed, yet some empty pans, one
within the other, on the same shelf were broken
p. The fluid passed throiigh eight difreren
places in the body of the house, besides those
already described
DID IT IN Crnmen.—On Sunday, the 20th
ult., a respectable citizen went to church in
Cleveland, Ohio, and seated himself in a pew
without inquiring to whom it belonged. The
owner came in, and finding his seat thtis occu
pied, went out again, but - soon returned, and
pulling out a pistol, presented it at the intru
der's breast, and compelled him, by threats, to
vacate the seat. He has since been arrested.
A GIGANTIC TREE.--PIC clipper ship Thomas
Watson arrived at Nevi York from San Fran
cisco last week having on board the bark of
" Washingtonea Gigantea," the largest tree in
the known world. The tree was 31 feet in di
ameter at the base, (or nearly 100 feet in cir
cumference,) 363 feet in height, and 160 feet to
the first limb. The bark has been taken off to
the height of 116 feet, at which point the di
ameter is 15 feet 0 inches. The bark is one
foot six inches at the base, and gradually ta
pers out toward the top to two or three inches.

that they will have to be looped up at the knee.

Barn a m's Baby Sls ow.
The much talked-of Baby Show opened at
Barnum's Museum in New York on Tuesday
the 9th. There were one hundred and forty
three entries, seven sets of which were triplets,
and eleven of twins. J. R. Sprague and wife
of Danbury, Ct., exhibit five children--two
girls and three boys, triplets and twins, all born.
in Knox county, Ohio. Robert 11. Owen of
Port Byron, Cayuga county, N. Y.,. exhibits
triplets who glory in the name of William 11.
Seward, John Quincy Adams and Albert Lamar
tine. The Tribune says a list of the twins
would be long and solemn. A child of Orlando
Scott, born in New York, Feb. 18, 1851, drew
the highest prize of $lOO, for the finest baby
tinder four years of age. Tts father is a coach•
man, and its mother is called a beauty. There
were about 6,000 visitors at the Museum at one
time on Tuesday, and 10,000 in all during
2811
There wns one child, Miss HELEN ECKHART,
from Easton, Pa., four years and three months
old, and weighing seventy-five pounds, who
attracted very general attention. Mrs. II , from
Bridgeport, was there, with her neighbor, Mrs.
A., and this child fairly astonished them. The
following conversation thenensued :
Mas. lI.—I don't believe it's a real child, do
'on?
➢fns. A.—l never saw the beat on't. Jets
PERKINS ain't a circumstance.
11.--I tell you it ain't a real natural
young 'un. Mister BARNUM'S been humbug
gin' agin, but he can't humbug me. I know
better ; and I know it ain't no such thing. I
hain't ihrgot about the mat-maid yet..
Mns; A.—lt's real queer, ain't it ?
Here other eager spectators crowded in, and
the ladies from Bridgeport were crowded out.
Being tightly squeezed the remainder of the
sentence was but an unintelligible explosion
of air.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary obesity of
its child, her grandmother declares she enjoys
ost excellent health.
GRAIN AND FLOUR.—The present high prices
of grain and flour cannot rule much longer in
our markets. The coming crops are said to be
most promising in every part of the Union.
If any of our farmers arc holding back for
higher prices they will be apt to get their
tin
ers burned. A bit of encouragment is given
to persons of this class in the last Village (West
Chester) Record. An old citizen of that place
said to the Editor the other day that in 1817 ho
was compelled to buy some grain, and had to
pay sixty dollars for twenty bushels of wheat, or
$3 a bushel. The next year ho got his flour
for four dollars and a half a barrel. It looks
very much just now as if it was going to be so
again.
TRANSIENT YOUNG MEN.—Girls, beware o
transient young man ; never suffer the address
es of a stranger ; recollect that one good steady
farmer-boy or mechanic is worth all the floating
trash in the world. The alltirements of a dandy
jack with a gold chain about his neck, a walk
ing stick in his paw, some honest tailor's coat
on his back, and a brainless skull, can never
make up the loss of a kind father's house, a
good mother's counsel, and the society of bro
thers and sisters ; their affections last, while
that of such a young man is lost at the wane of
the honeymoon.
The LARGEST CODFISI7.—The New London
(Connecticut) Chronicle says that, at Groton
Long Point, George W. Lamb caught a cod
fish weighing 75 pounds, in whose stomach
he found, besides six bonyfish and six squids, a
complete codilshing gear, except the line. The
hook weighed two pnd ik quarter pounds, and
look and gear were in shape unlike any
thing ever before seen by the fisherman in that
quarter
