Stammer Departing,.
The days aro growing perceptibly shorter
and the evenings cooler and longer. As dark- •
ness draws her veil o'er the world and the dews
fall gently upon the earth, a soft murmur may
be heard in every thicket, which reminds one of
the departure a SummerMul the approach of
Autumn. The cricket, that little trumpeter of
this change of season has again arrived, filling
the chilly air of evening with his nocturnal sym
phony and awaking sad memories or hallowed
association ill the minds of many.
it may not be out of place hero to state that
persons accustomed to exposure during the past
pleasant weather non,t, have a care about the

A Democratic County Meeting kill be belt

be largely attended.
Samplt•s of Damaged tV heat..
The rage, just now, of sending specimen
heads of sprouted wheat to newspaper editors
to frighten them, and thrOugh them the public,
with stories of damaged crops and prospects of
famine prices, does not seem to have, the effect
desired. Sending a head of damaged wheat as
a sample of a wh o le field, or of a whole district,
is Very much like carrying about a brick as a
specimen of a h o use. We pre,4anne there are
no wheat fields in which some shriveled, or
sprouted, or worm•catin beads could not be
tbund. The farmers hail better put a good face
upon the present prospects of the crops, and
make up their mind; to lower prices. We
have no doubt there has been some damage
done by the rains, but not, we have reason to
believe', to any great extent or sufficient to affect
the prices of grain a cent a bushel. Whatever
damage may have been done to the wheat by
the rain. has been more than compensated by
the benefit which the other crops have received
from the sumo caiwo.
A IL c marhably Large
On Wolin.Sday last the wife of Mr. ELI AS
Tharr, of this place, wee safelydelivered of a
child weighing n fraeti4m over sixteen pounds.
Unfortnnately, however, it lived but a short
time after its birth. This is a remarkable
weight, and we doubt whether there ever was
born in the county a child that outweighed the
above.
New Dtnil A rynngentriit
Last week a new mail arrangement was en
tered into, by which we now daily receive the
Philadelphia mail with the noon 'train via the
Beholere and Lehigh Valley Railroad. This
arrangement will no doubt be gratifying to our
citizens, as heretofore the time of arrival was
very uncertain,—sometimes at 3 o'clock and
then again at 5 and 6 o'clock,—depending a
great deal upon the condition of the roads and
the speed of horse drab.

New Counterfeit Note.
We learn that a new counterfeit is just out, a
ten dollar note on the Bank of Montgomery
county. The note is capitally executed, and is
well calculated to deceive. They are letter 11,
the genuine letter I% These notes no doubt will
be spread over Lehigh county, and people had
better be careful in receiving notes of the Bank

Faust at the Poor House of Lehigh county.—
From the proof there was no doubt of the fire
having been set to the barn (which also burned
the house) by some person. Tracks of men
were found near the place, and one horse had
been taken away from the barn which after
wards returned t‘ ith a strange saddle. Ochs
was committed to Jail, and after being there a
few weeks he broke out, and upon being retaken
in Saucon township, he confessed that he had
set tiro to the barn in company with two
others. A large amount of testimony was pro
duced by the Commonwealth pointing very
strongly to the prisoner.

crc.

The Month of August
August is so Galled after the Roman Empe
ror, Augustus Caesar. The old saxon name of
it is Arnmonth, or barn month, from the filling
of their barns era meaning harvest. The
Emperor took possession of his Consulship in
the month, then 'called. SestaEls, and celebrated
three triumphs--the oath of allegiance from
the army of Janiculum, - the reddetion of Egypt
to the Roman power, and the happy termina
tion of all civil wars—the era of what has been
called •' the Augustan or the golden age." The
Roman Senate, therefore, called the month after
him, as 'they . had previously called the month
proceeding, after Julius Ctosar. . .
• In the old Saxon ealenders August is emble
uitized as a carter standing near a cart loaded
with corn. In Inter times mowers were emble
tactic (says Brady) of this month. But still
nearer to'the present day, though yet of ancient
date, August was delineated as a young man
with a ftoree countenance dressed in a flame
colored garment, crowned with a garland of
wheat, and bearing a victim. . On his arm is a
basket of summer fruits, and through his belt
a sickle is thrust.
The first day of August was one of the an
cient " quarter days" of the year in the Eng
lish Calender, and it was called " Laminas
y." In the Roman calender it is the feast o
St. Peter and Vinctija," or St: Peter in
ends, conunemoratinNe day of that Apos
le's imprisonment. Antiquaries conjecture
hat Loin or no/di-mass originates from Peter's
ding the supposed patron of lambs, agreeably
to the metaphorical expression of the Saviour,
addressed to him " Feed my. lambs," and so
mass w•as instituted that lambs might escape
the danger arising from being shorn at that
MEM
And there are other legends that ascribe
other and various etymologies of the name,
some of which are curious, but that WO have
hot now the space to describe.

As this is the season when this wholesonie frui
every where abounds, it may be rendering a ser
vico to sonic of our good house-wives to fl-nisi
them with one or two recipes for converting i
nto a pleasant and mailable use. If it were
iot that the blackberry is regarded by most
'antlers as a pest as in fact it is when suffered to
%trying° on the arable land—we would reemn-
Rend the cultivation of it in small plantations,
ikc thO raspberry. Sonic of the varieties arc
liege, sweet, and very line, while others are
small and bitter. A selection might be made
while they are in bearing, and at the proper
season the 'bushes transplanted to a suitable
place, and put under cultivation. They would
thus serve to keep up a supply of good whole
some fruit, and add to the varieties at a time
when there is a general scarcity. The wino
made by the following recipe is, we are as
sured by the lady to whom we are indebted
for it, very much like port Wine, in taste and
appearance :
" Ti) :MAKE BLACKIIRRHY WINE.- For every
gallon of fruit add one quart of boiling water,
then strain off the juke, and to every -gallon add
3 lbs. of brown, sugar. Put it on the fire and
let it boil a few minutes : then pour it, into an
open jar, to remain till fermentation is over,
winch will be in about three weeks. Strain
again, and bottle, sealing the corks with wax.
In six months it will be ready for use. 7 •
Annexation to IC.nnmas.
Kansas embraces within its limits an area of
194,798 square miles, a region more than three
times as great as Ohio, and fourteen times as
large as Massachusetts. It is susceptible of di
vision into ten States with the same number of
square miles to each now embraced within the
limits of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu
setts, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and South
Carolina ; susceptible of sustaining a population
more than twice as dense. With this state of
facts, it is proposed to annex Six counties of
Missouri to Kansas, with an aggregate popula
tion of about seventy thousand, among which
a•e numbered some six thousand slaves. This
would add a region one hundred miles in length
from north to south, and averaging thirty miles
in width, giving additional territory consider
ably greater than the State of Delaware. It is
understood that this project was favorably en
tertained by the Missouri Legislature last win
tei'. That body will again assemble in Novem7
ber next. The net of cession cannot be con
summated without leave of Congress.
LATEST FOREIGN Nsws.—By the arrival at
New York on Wednesday, of the steamship,
Baltic, from Liverpool, we have news fron Eu
mpe one week later than previous advices. It
was rumoredithat General Simpson and Omar
Pacha had resigned their commands, and the
latter had arrived at Constantinople. In the.
Sea of A zoff, the British fleet has destroyed the
bridge of boats of Genitschi. Preparations
continue for a campaign on the Danube. At
Constantinople, the Bashi Bozouks had muti
nied and committed drelefeesses. The next
assault upon Sebastopol will be by land and sea,
40,000 men attacking by land, 100 ships at
tempting to force their Way into the harbor.—
The RusSian fire on the night of the 13th of July,
demoliShed the new French battery between the
Mapleton and Malakoff. The German Diet ac
cepts the Austrian propositions, with three ad
ditional points submitted by Prussia. The
English have commenced the construction of a
citadel at Heligoland. Gen. Todleben, the
skillful Rus§ian engineer of Sebastopol, is, dead.
A formidable insurrection has occurred among
the Arabs in Tripoli.
NOT HURT.—The removal •of Governer Reed
er, front the Governorship of Kansas, has
already brought his name before the public as
a candidate for Governor of Pensylvania: Gov.
Reeder may • live therefore in the scriptural
hope " that all things will work together for
good."
(17^The California election 'will take place on
the 10th of September.
The August Election
Tho result of the recent elections is not yet
known with certainty ; but from such returns
as we have we make tho following approxima
tion toward the fact :
NORTU CAROLINA.—In this State the election
was for members of Congress and State officers,
only. The new delegation in Congress will
probably stand 5 Democrats and 3 Americans.
In ono of the districts, however, the contest is
so close that the official figures alone will decide
the result. Compared with the last delegation
the Democrats have lost one member and
gain
ed,one, lea;ring Purycar's district, (Gth) out of
the account. The. Whigs are displaced by the
Kiiow Nothings. . •
TENNESSEE.—The Candidates in this State
for Governor, are Johnson, Dem. and Gentry,
American. Johnson (Dem.) is re-elected, by
at least 1,500 majority. We have only one
report about Congressmen. and that is that
Felix K. Zollicoffer is elected in the Eighth, and
Thomas Rivers in the Tenth District. Zolli
collbr was in the XXXIIId. Congress as a Whig :
now he turns up KnoW-Nothing. Rivers is K.
N., and takes the place of Frederick P Stanton,
a prominent Democrat, who was elected in 1853
by 6 majority. A later report says that Sam
uel A. Smith, (Dem.) is re-elected.
KENTUCKY.—Returns from 52 counties show
a gain for Morehead, American, for Governor,
of upwards of 5,000 over the vote for Scott in
1852, who carried the State by over 2.000.
Ile is of course elected. Six American Con
gressmen are elected and two Democrats. The
other two are in doubt. Both branches of the
Legislature arc largely American.
ALABAMA.—We have nothing from Alabama
except a mere rumor that Shortbridge, the K.
N. candidate is elected Governor.
Further returns of the vote for Governor show
large majorities for Winston, Dem., and al
though Shortbridge gains largely in some places,
Winston is probably elected.
LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA.—The steamship
Northern Light has arrived at New-York, bring.
ing nearly a million of dollars in gold, and news
from California sixteen clays later. From the
Isthmus, the news is that Walker and his band
were at Realejo, and that Captain French had
at rived at Nicaragua by the laSt steamer front
San Francisco, to join the government party,
which is opposed to Walker. Col. Kinney, with
21 of his followers, * arrived at San Juan on the
16th, on board of the brig Iluntress, of Philadel
phia. They were engaged in erectingbuildings
in San Juan.. A fire in San Francisco has de:
stroyed 20 houses. Lotis $lOO.OOO. Astmind
ing frauds are alleged against Adams & Co., San
Francisco, by one of the partners in the firm of
Page, Bacon C. Co. The news from the mines
shows a better yield of gold than fin• several
years past. Gold is said to be discovered in
large quantities near Puget. Sound.
Thu, Prices 'gust Come Down.
It is said that the speculators in grain and
breadstuff.; are combining to " keep up the
prices." We know not how true this is ; but
if it is a fact, we do not hesitate to pronounce
the movement a very foolish one, inasmuch as
the attainment of the object they, have in view
is an utter impossibility, as any man of the
least mercantile or commercial experience must
know.
A set of men might as well combine for the
purpose of preventing the clouds over our heads
from dropping down in showers of rain, as to
attempt to keep up the present high and exor
bitant prices for breadstufn and provisions.—
The great law of trade, that when the supply
exceeds the demand the commodity must be
come cheaper, is, general and unexceptionable
in its operations and results, The market has
its sure and unchangeable laws, and by these
must the speculator as well as the legitimate
merchant and trader be governed. They can
not be set aside at pleasure. They may by
means of combinations and panic, be delayed
in their operation for the time being ; but the
postponement will only hasten the results
which their natural operation would have ef
fected by.slower degrees.
The prices of grain; of flour and meal. and
provisions generally, must come down, end will
before many a day. The harvest in this coun
try is an extraordinary one. Never has so
large a quantity of grain been raised in one .
year, ns has been the present. In the princi
pal wheat growing sections of the United
States, and in Canada, there is an unprecedent
ed yield. It is indeed a season of great plenty.
The poor man's prayer has been answered, and
be will be enabled soon again to buy his bread
and his meat at a reasonable price, and to live
fearless of starvation. Only wait until the new
Wheat, the new flour, the new potatoes and the
new corn shall have fairly come into market.
The wheat harvest of Europe, we are told by
the late advices from England, will be more pro
ductive than for many years past r the only
exception being that of Poland. A decline of
prices is the consequence. Then, as a matter
of codise, a speedy. decline will follow• in our
own markets. How will the " speculators"
prevent it? We say again, wait until the new
grain and flour shall have fairly come into the
market. There will be—there must be a reduc
tion of prices. It can't be prevented by specu
lators, or by any . other Class of human sharks
who would fain enrich themselves at the ex
pense of the poor mechanics' and laboring men
of our laud.
a:7A largo merchant and importer says, wo
arc paying more duty on artificial flowers than .
on railroad iron. Ile says the women are not
educated right. They are going to bankrupt'
the country unless there is a change. More is
thought of show than of substance. We pay
scores of millions annually for ladies ornaments
which are no use. We cannot 'afford it. It is
worse than sinking the money in the sea.

AN ATTENfor TO BTAIIVE ♦ LITTLE BOY FOR
MS MoNNT.-John Blattner and Louisa Koch
were brought down to the day police office last
evening, from their residence at the corner of ,
Ninth street. and Lafayette avenue, having
been arrested for the ill-treatment and attempt
to starve a little son of Blattner, aged eight or
nine years, calling himself Franz Blattner.
It appears that the mother of the boy died a
short time since, leaving by will all her proper
ty consisting of a small share of real estate, to
little Franz. Shortly after her death the
woman, Louisa Koch, was brought to the house
and took up her residence with Blattner. It
was then determined by the man and woman to
get Franz out of the way, and secure the real
estate for themselves. The way to accomplish
this villainous purpose was to starve him to
death.
Accordingly ho was fastened up. in a room
with his hands tied behind his hack, where, at
the time of his discovery, he had been confined
for the space of two days, without having had
a morsel to cat or drink. He would probably
have suffered a horrible death, had it not been
for the watchfulness of the persons living in the
neighborhood, who suspecting the case, inform
ed the police, and had the house entered and
searched. Little • Granz was overjoyed at his
release.
Blattner and his paramour werelodged in the
calaboose, and Will be dealt with as they de
serve to-day. It is difficult to imagine a more
unnatural or inhuman casc.--Si- Louis Do" -

STORY OF A WATCII.—About four years since
Mr. Jacob Trimble, of Pocopson,.Chester coun
ty, lost his watch. He had been in the stable.
the barn-yard, the fields, etc., during the day.
and, being a valuable one, the watch was sought
for everywhere he recollected to have been that
clay, and for several days after, a vigilant eye
was kept in motion for the discovery of the
truant : but all to no purpose, it seemed irre
coverably lost, and was given up and forgotten.
A few days since, a young lad was sent to the
orchard for baking apples, when he discovered
the missing watch hanging by the chain to the
imb of a tree. It was taken down, fully re
cognized, and, being wound up, started off on
tic,' as though nothing had happened. The
discovery of the watch brought Mr. Timble's
recollection of the fact that he was picking
apples from the same tree on the day the watch
was lost. He had examined every place but
that. It had probably caught on the projecting
point of the limb, while in the act of (diming.
and thus jerked from his pocket. It is singular
that it was not discovered before, and that it
hail hung suspended through sunshine. wind
and rain fur so long a time without receiving
material injury.—Alittstmion.
R I.ES FOIL BUTTFAL MAKING. —The Massa
chusetts Committee on Dairies says : . Your
Committee haling had much experience in but
ter making, oftlr the following rules as the
result of their experience. The newer and
sweeter the cream, the sweeter and higher
flavored will be the butter. The air must be
fresh and. pure in the room or cellar where the
milk is set. The cream.shouhl not remain on
the milk over thirty-six hours. Keep the cream
in tin pails or stone pots, into which put a
spoonful of salt at the beginning, then stir the
cream, lightly every morning and evening, this
will prevent it from moulding or souring,
churn as often as once a week, and as much
oftener as circumstances will permit. Upon
churning add the cream upon all the milk in
the dairy. Use nearly an ounce of salt to it
pound of butter. Work the butter over twice
to free it from butter-milk and brine, before
lumping and paCking. Beware that it is en
tirely free from every particle of butter milk,
and it will keep 'as long as desired. In Scotland,
a syphon is sometimes used 'to separate the
milk from the cream, instead of skimming the
pans."
CLIME'S SUIT BY A LADY AGAINST A RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.—The Jeffersonville 'Railroad
Company in Indiana, have had a novel suit
commenced against them by a pretty young
married lady. Several months ago the lady in
the cars was thrown down an embankment and
received a slight abrasion of the skin. Now
she and her physician have made the astounding
discovery that the injuries were of such a nature
as to prevent her ever becoming a mother. If
she can prove this, the railroad company ought
certainly to pay for a small fatnily of which she
might have been the happy Mother. There are
some wives who may feelingly say, on the con
trary, the fair plaintiff' ought to pay the rail
road company.
j EASY METHOD OF 111GIMPLTING BT FIVE.-
Any number of figures you may wish to multi

BRE STING AND TOOTIPACIIE.—The pain of 1K
bee sting may be at OUCQ relieved, am! the sub
sequent swelling prevented, by wetting the part
with spirits of hartshorn (water of ammonia.)
The sting is hollow, and there is a little drop of
poison at its root that is driven through it by
the pressure of its insertion, and deposited in
the wound. The poison is said to be of an acid
nature, and to be destroyed by this volatile
alkali.
The pain of tooth-ache, also, is relieved oftener
by a few drops of hartshorn on a bit of lint in
serted into the cavity of the tooth, than by any
other application. Keep a vial of it, well cork
ed, in the house, 'and if you are fortunate
enough to need it for nothing else, use it to re
store the color destroyed by fridt,

REMAHKABLN Pitt.S.—A lady in Boston, who
stiff:red much—or thought she did—from head
ache; applied to a homeopathic doctor for a rem
edy. The doctor made up a box of pills for
her, charging her that she must not take more
than four at a time. The pills had a wonder
fill effect, not only curing the lady herself, but
several of her female friends, and they all
thought they must be very powerful, as they
were not much bigger than the head of a pin.
But the very best part of the story remains to
be told. A little boy of five years got hold
of the box containing. the pills, and to the
great consternation of the Indies, swallowed
at least fifty of them without producing" the
slightest dicet on him.
iMPOILTED STOCK.-I lon. Alfred Huffintglo, tho
U. S. Consul to Calcutta. has recently returned
to his home near New Hope, Ducks county,
after a absence of nearly twenty-three years,
bringing with him sonic splendid stock, which
arc now grazing on his farm at Spring Dale.—
Among his collection are several tine English
and French cattle, Chinese pigs, Arabian
horses, Shetland ponies, etc., which those who
are interested in the improvement of our stock
would do well to visit. They have all been
purchased and imported at great expense, and
he expects shortly an addition of the heavy Asi
atic cattle, which will put our diminutive stock
in the bac.k ground as far at least as size is con
cerned.—Burks Co. hd.
IIEICILY CLAY ON TILE Missorat COItirROMTSEL-7
Henry Clay was among the eminent statesmen
who opposed the extension of slavery, contend
ing that it should be restricted to its present
limits. In the Senate of the United States, on
this very point, he used the following very forc
ible language :
" I repeat it, sir, I never can, and never will,
and no earthly powpr will make me vote, direct;
ly or indirectly, to spread slavery over the,ter
ritory where it does not exist. Never white
reason has a seat in my brain— . never, whit*.
my heart sends the vital fluid through my
veins—never."
