On Monday evening a three year old daugh ter of Mr. DA TIOMMT, in Seventh street, near Chew, met with a dreadful accideitt. She had been standing on a chair at a third story window, which was raised at the time, and seeing her father come along the pavement she called out to him, and when ho came close up to the house she leaned forward to get another sight of him, when she lost her balance and was precipitated to the pavement below, a distance of about 33 feet. Her injuries arc of a very serious nature, but still there is some hope of her recovery. ttttt lay School Celebration. A celebration of the 111illerstown Sunday School is to take place in the woods near Mil- lerstown, on Sunday the IGth Of September, where addresses will be delivered by the Rey , Schindel and Brobst. All who delight laws' tering the noble cause aro invited to be resent. Several weeks ago a celebration of tlis kind was held in a grove at Trexlertown and we arc told by persons who were preseunilat it was a happy and creditable gathering The friends of education and religion may Old much for con gratulation, and hope for do future in celebra tions of the kind. n nrn d e woyed by Fire. A little before o'clock on Friday evening a bright light w4 ...seen in a south-wegtern direc tion, which we learned the next day was caused by the burning of the large barn of Mr. CHARLES Sol - Lim:a, in Longswanip township, &Tics county, together with all the hay and grain of this season, eight sheep, a cow and calf, two new wagons, and a large quantity of farming utensils. • The origin of the fire is not known.. There was an insurance on the building. Improvements. The other day we took a walk in sonic of our principal thoroughfares, and were convinced that the spirit of enterprise had received a new impuisO, among our citizens the present sum mer. Everywhere can be seen the busy hum of active life. Many old fashioned •structures have been demolished to give place to largo and beautiful new buildings, some of which promise to be ornaments to the place as well as conve nient and pleasant accommodations for busi ness, • Tho new Lutheran Church is progress ing and in a week or two will bo ready for roofing. It will be the most costly church edifice in this part of the country. Hitherto, We have been behind neighboring towns in im posing churches, but a spirit has been aroused which will, we think, bring Allentown to a level in this respect with the proudest town in eastern Pennsylvania. We like to see the erec tion of such buildings. They not only add to the beauty of the place, but serve to create and foster a public taste in such matters, which will go far towards the improvement of tlio town. There have been erected during the summer between forty and fifty new buildings. This it; no small number, if the " hard times" aro taken into consideration.. Let our capital ists but loosen their purse strings,.and erect con venient and commodious residences, and we will have still greattit.teason:i to admire our beautiful Allentown. Dr. C. C. D. GlzMtn. Coming up town the other day we called in to sce.our friend Guldin, at the American Hotel, and we were shown several very beautifulspe cimens of dental work.' He has put in several sets of teeth to our knowledge, the owners of which snap or and grind up radishes an inch thick with them. Ho fits the first trial, and jiws armed by the Dr. are . o caution to tough turkeys and crackers. Go and get your traps repair-ed. • ' Our Daily Bread. ;.. othwithstanding the earth aterally bur ! e d with bountiful and the wheat hat ...ut year is larger than ever •-• .t of the the great staple of life, wheat our, is still held at exorbitant prices. There i s ao good reason for this. It is estimated that ilinois, alone, has this year raised wheat enough to furnish every man, woman and child this country with a bushel. Michigan, In ..""^3qnsin and lowa have contributed 1- - gthaustible supply, and the other '7iit aro not behind in furnish- AvgtiigL riCan see but one cause.— For several year's past the flour business has been concentrating into the hands of a few, who have taken advantage of every available circum stance to make the channel of trade run through thdr pockets. They have their Associations for the purpose of regulating prices, and have got the flour business on such a system as to be almost ifuot wholly under their control. Those who have wheat to sell, of course sell it where they can get the highest prices, and those who monopolize the business can always afford to pay a little more than others. These monopolists in the flour business can not purchase all the wheat that has been har vested this year, and in this fact lies the hope of consumers. It does not seem possible that present prides can be kept up longer than the first of October ; but should there be no falling of by that time, there will be little chance for p rchasing cheaper before another spring.— her crops being large, the poor will not feel c pinching baud of want as they did the last inter. The high prices here for wheat aro maintain ed in a great measure because a set of monopo lists control the sales at the West, and prevent it from coming East in quantities sufficient to reduce the price. Even in our own town there is so little wheat brought to market, because the farmers expect higher prices, that Fenstermacher & Son, Bernd & Bros. and many other dealers have been obliged to purchase wheat in Philadelphia" and have it shipped to this place to keep their mills going in order to supply their customers. The New Rork Tribune, which usually pub. - fishes reports from every section of the country in regard to the crops, says : • _ longer print the reports which reach us f rom ev ery quarter as to the state and 1: , ' 7, • pect of the hars 7 es i orl or growimr, qatps, simply because they but reiterate what we have before stated and our readers fully know. Hay, wheat and rye are already secure J, and aro larger in quantity than any yield ever yet known. The Buffalo Republic estimates that the in crease of the crop of wheat this year will be 22,000.000 bushels above that of IMO,. and 40,000,000 above that of last year's. It must be remembered too, that last year, the wheat crop was drained oft to make up deflciences in all kinds of cereals and "vegetables, of which there was no .more than one fourth of a drop. Thu ezop - 9 in Europe are unusually large, and the same may be said of California. So we Lilian not have a demand in those quarters for or-C grain and flour. The only conclusions to Cie arrived at in view of these favorable indica tions is, that flour must fall in prices, and that too, before long. Lehigh Valley Railroad The friends of this great 6nterptiso trill be glad to learn that the entire line is now in com plete running order. The new locomotive, J. M. l'werza made the first trip over the road from South Easton to Mauch Chunk on Wed nesday last. On Monday next it is proposed to celebrate the opening of this new and important thorough fare from New York to Mauch Chunk, in a suitably way. It will be a great event for both named places as well as for the intervening towns. What the arrangements are we have not heard, but judging from the Mauch Chunk papers, the citizens of that place are exerting themselves to give the excursionists a proper reception. Tour County Paper Though our subscription list is rapidly in creasing, and is larger than it ever was before, we have room in our books for a few hundred more subscribers. There are a large num ber of persons still in this county, who do not take a bounty paper. This is hardly right.— Every one should encourage their neighbors first, and in the matter of taking papers, county papers should be taken first. As the reading time is now rapidly approaching,' we mean the long winter evenings, all who are not furnished with papers, and especially those who do not take county .papers, should supply themselves at once. In doing so too; you should remember that the Register is just the paper you want. NORTIIIIIPTON CO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The Northampton County AgriculitiMESO ciety, which intends holding their next annual fair on Wednesday, ThurSday and Friday the 26th, 27th And 28th day of September next, have now nearly completed their arrangements for that purpose. The Society has purchased a Imo pieco of ground at Nazareth containing nine and a half acres and have enclosed the same with a substantial' board fence. The main building for the Exhibition of Agricultur al produce, Horticultural llanufa'ctureg, &c. is situated near the centre of the lot, it is two sto ries high, a strong frame building, covered with slate—it is 86 by 72 feet with two wings at tached to the centre of it 36 by 18, the whole forming a cross, a gallery is over the whole roof, from where a find view of the surrounding country can be obtained.. The cattle stalls are arranged on the 'south side of the lot, and those for the horses on the north; between these a course for the trial of horses is laid out full a quarter of a mile in When fully completed it will no doubt bo an ornament for the Society (which in every res pect, cannot be done the year,) and being situ ated in a central part of the county, it is hoped will contribute to the elevation of Agriculture in old Northampton.—Baiton Whig. A Word to Farmers About Manure. This is the season in which our farmers elt engaged in removing tho manures °Mick yard and stables, and putting it upon their fie"; and from the general practice we won Sup pose thatthere is a great indiffero; e» the part of many as to whether the w4ur° produ- • Ces material or little kfll2ct.• ••• Our farmers must know the year is the very wort;f" fiat this season of ma nures on account of ,f getting out ma 'l great heatl of iht'• Sum ; - and tho censm evaporation of meis ttve. Isut as this cannot bo remedied in cense-. pence of the system of manuring the wheat land, this being tho plowing and seeding gea son, every precaution should be used to save the manures from deterioration in their transit from the yard to the bottoth of the farrow. Our farmers should benr iu mind that the most valuable part of their manures is the am monia, which is a gas that evaporates or passes off rapidly, in consequence of its being lighter than the atmosphere. This gas united with carbonic acid, forms carbonate of ammonia, which contains the four organic elements of an imal and vegetable life, or matter. This ammonia is constantly escaping from manure heaps that are exposed to the atmos phere, and the consequence is, that if the barn yards were covered, the manure thus protec ted from the weather in its formation, would be far more valuable than that exposed. Or if great care were taken to cover the yard with a coat of loam in the spring, and plaster was sown over it often, the ammonia would be mostly re tained, and tl ‘ Ly ..... nanure correspondingly im proved. Thousands and tens of thousands aro annu ally lost to our farmers in the wny of manures, that might easily be saved. The practice of getting out manure in the very heat of summer, spreading it upon the fields, and allowing it to lie thus exposed to the intense rays of the sun until dried to a powder, is a pernicious ono, that should bo discarded by every farmer.— What is left of the manure after tho ammonia has escaped, is little better than set much loam that could be scraped up front the roadside.— The really valuable portion of the manure, the volatile part, the salt that enriches the soil, is gone. A heap of manure, after the ammonia, or volatile part, has escaped, is nothing more than a heap of common loam, and will go no farther towards enriching afield. W" Inny not he but we are fully of the opinion that take our county together, the farmers do not reap more than one half the advantages they might derive from their stable and yard manures.— Some do more, while others derive still less ad vantage. Wo have often seen manure exposed upon fields until it was not worth the trouble of getting it cut, to the farmer ; and yet the nat ural soil of the land was so good that he had good crops, and may never have known that ho might have had better, and that his manure was of very little use. If manure roust be put upon the land at this season of the year, it should make a hasty transit from the yard to the soil—it should not be allowed to rest until it is under the soil, and then the ammonia gas, drawn by the attractions of the sun, will combine with and be retained by the soil ; and give it strength and food for the crops that are expected from it. We hope that our hasty remarks will draw the attention of farmers to this subject, and lead them to a thorough investigation nod reform. IMPORTANT PROM EUROPE.-:By the arrival at Ilalifax of the steamer Canada, we have news from Europb one week later. The Russians under Liprandi attacked the lines of the Allies on the Tchnernaya, on the 19th, and, after a three hours' tight, were repulsed, with a re ported loss of 3000 killed and wounded and 400 prisoners. The allied fleet bombarded Swea borg from the 9th to the 11tH, with immense destruction of property, but trifling loss to the Allies. After the bombardinent, the fleets re turned to Nargen on the 18th. The Russian fleet at Sweaborg was not harmed. An im mense conflagration was caused by the bom bardment, destroying store-houses, magazines and arsenals, and raging for forty-five hours.— Denmark is reported to have sent a commis sioner to ask the advice of France with refer ence to the refusal of American vessels to pay Sound dues. General Simpson telegraphs that the bombardment of Sebastopol would re-open on the morning of the 17th. Symptoms of popular discontent , are becoming manifest in France. The government candidates for coun cillors have been overwhelmingly defeated at Milks, ArretZ; Angouleme, Rouen, Havre, and many other places. The Allied fleet had visi ted Petropolovski with the intention of attack ing it, but, on going in, found the American flag flying, and 'only two Americans in the place, the - Russian inhabitants having all fled to a neighboring village, and the garriSon evacuated the town after removing all their guns, ammunition, &c. The Allies destroyed the fortifications, The RusSians escaped the vigilance of their enemy under cover of a dense fog, and sailed off to their new settlement at the mouth of the Amoor river, conveyed by two frigates and four merchant vessels. The Allies then sailed for Russian America, but did nothing there, as the place is a fur-trading post, protected by treaty between Britain ..and Russia. lAIMENSE YIPLD OP WHEAT.--WO learn from Mr. Jacob Nickel, and think it worthy of re cord, that a four acre field at his place, about a mile north of this city, yielded 188 bushels of wheat, or 47 bushels to the acre, exclusive of the rakings, which were removed to another field. The wheat was cradled. We do not suppose a larger product to the acre has been realized this season.L. Frederick (31d.)

EDITOR:-Is it not a singular fact in " 'Human nature" that some of its sincere spe imens, truthful, just and patriotic, disclaim terribly against all of a certain class because they are bigoted, and still, aro themselves no less bigoted ! Funny human nature ! Read ingyour remarks in relation to the Democratic County Meeting held in Lowhill on the 18th ult., Something , like suggested. The Democratic jowly (not the Democrats) go dead against Know Nothingism, and are de termined to have that party annihilated, and adcordingly assail the order with every availa ble weapon, the chief rind most objectionable feature however is its proscriptive character, for this reason especially, the Know Nothing party are to receive "no quarter." Is it not singular then, that the D'Emocratic meeting Resolved, That these proceedings be publish ed in the Democratic papers and Friedensbote, Allentown. and Union, at Harrisburg. Really this looks like proscription, the very fault most unendurable in Know Nothingism. Read it as you will, construe it as you may, it is that. Indeed it is worse than proscription, since it appears you are not a Know Nothing ; it is proscription on presumption. Now there are a great many Democrats who aro not Know Nothings, who nevertheless sympathised with the Know Nothing movement, and many of them with the purest motives, and for the best reasons, and therefore never can and never will admire this reckless warfare against the Know Nothing order. It fact beyond dispute that for some rea son the elections within two years past went ter ribly. against the Pierce administration. Why was this ? The reason is at least two-fold, viz. The sober sense of the people was against Fila buFterism in every shape. Another reason is, it was not to be disguised that the administration was leaning in favor of the south beyond the bounds of prudence or justice. The people saw that if the administration was endorsed, we should have Cuba, right or wrong, and with it, war, brought about thrmigh our want of faith fulness. Hence the people rebuked the admin istration. The parties, including the Know Nothing, over-rated the strength of the latter party ; the tremendous vote agait , st the ad minktration, nas not alt Know Nothing, but anti-administration from all parties, and gen erally men who were for their country, before party. Recent elections show the real strength of Know Nothingism ; when however questions of general interest and importance shall ask the opinion of the people, the party or administration that favours Filabustering sentiment, injustice to the Northern feeling on Slavery cr attempts to obliviate the anticipations of the falters of our Republic in regard to slavery, that administra tion or party will meet with as signal a rebuke, as did the Pierce administration receive within the last two years and which was attributed to Know Nothingism. COLUMBIA. Boni:mix Truman.—A man named John II• B. Seibert, was lodged in prison yesterday,. charged with the murder of a young woman named Catharine Bouch, at Womelsdorf, where they both resided. We have obtained from the Constable, Jacob Kendall, in whose cus tody Seibert was brought to this city, the following particulars of this horrible affair : It appears that Seibert had an affection for the girl, and for some time had been trying to per suade her to marry him, which she always re fused. The houses in which they liVed adjoin each other. Yesterday morning, he met her in the yard, going to feed the pigs, and again com menced importuning her to marry him. She give him no satisfaction ; when ho suddenly seized hold of her, and before she could cry for assistance, dragged her to a wood pile in the yard; picked up an axe that was lying there, and beat her brains out ! Her head was hor ribly mangled by the blows from the axe, and of course was almost instantly killed. Seibert was arrested and taken before Esquire Stephen, who ordered his commitment to prison on the charge of murder. It is said that Seibert is subject to occasional fits of insanity. The mur derer and his victem belong to respectable fami lies, and the terrible tragedy has caused no little excitement in the usually quiet and order ly borough of Womelsdorf.—Reading GatOtte.

' The horse behaved himself most admirably, and looked around and down upon the earth apparently in the most perfect astonishment. His hoofs never for a moment clawed the air,' but ho contented himself by gazing, in the most perfect horse wonder, at the peculiar situation of things. Mr. Elliott seemed as much as home upon his charger as if he were upon a macadamized road: As far as the eye could reach, boll horse and rider seemed to be getting along quietly but safely., This is the first ballon ascension on horeback, we believe, ever attempted in America, and in the science of aeronauts St. Louis ranks as the Paris of the continent. TERRIBLE DEATH Or A WOMAN FROM GLAN DERS.—The London Dispatch chronicles the death of Eliza Massey,.aged 31, wife of Jeremy Massey, the well known English pugilist, from glanders. MasSey resided with his wife over a stable in London, wherein ho kept twelve horses, one of whom had suffered from glanders ; but Mrs. Massey never had anything to do with the animals, therefore the supposition is that the . deceased caught the complaint by breathing the impure air, there being no ventilation or drainage to the stables. ller sufferings are de scribed to have been of the most excruciating nature,"and her body presented a most dreadful spectacle—immediately after death assuming the appearance of one mass of putrefaction.

Wo believe that if temperance were made ernre m.: - ,17.1 and religious question, and less a political one, it would make much greater progress. We believe that the men who put themselves forward as its advocates, might greatly strengthen their influence if they would personally decline the political preferment which so many of them seek with an eagerness that throws more than suspicion upon their mo tives and provokes the opinion—which whether, true or false, has become very general—that with too many, temperance is a *means not a end." DomssTowx Dinusramt, Bucks county folks have had an interesting Agricultural exhibition. At the baby show on the 23rd there were 15,000 persons present. Twelve babies were entered for the prizes.— The first premium was awarded to Helen Eck hart, of Easton,—weight seventy eight pounds, age four years and six months. The best feature was the competition of the ladies in horsemanship. Twelve ladies entered the lists, among whom were three professional riders from the cities. The first premium was awarded to Miss Mary Ann Roberts of Doyles town ; second to Mrs. Aaron of Norilstown ; third to Miss Jenkins of MontgoMery Square. Two TIIOI7.9AND LADIES BATIIING AT ONE TIME. —The Cape May correspondent of the Balti more American says : " The beach presented a scene to-day (Monday) of the most spirited and interesting character. The number of bathers exceeded that of any proceeding day.— Between 11 and 1 o'clock there could not have been less than 4,000 in the surf, fully one half, as usual, being ladies (all in neat dresses) ; many of whom can swim, and one lady I saw floating on the surface of the water, and riding over the swelling surf with tho greatest ease imaginable. A great number of ladies were un attended, but were fully as able to take care of themselves as the sterner sex. HOGS Is KENTUCKY.—According to returns to the auditor of Kentucky, there aro in that State, this year, 1,440,266 tugs over six months old, against 1,682,244 last ypar. This decrease in number is attributed to the short crop of corn last year,. which compelled many to kill that otherwise would have kept them for a year longer. The quantity of pork raised in the State the present season, however will un doubtedly exceed that of last year. Ricu AND VULGAR CALIPORNIANS.-A corres pondent of a city paper thus writes from New port, Rhode Island. the great fashionable sea bathing place "WC met at the dinner table ono of these so called ' gentlemen of fortune,' with diamond vest buttons, who took his big jack-knife out of his pocket and deliberately picked his teeth with it ; and yet he passes in the crowd, notwithstanding ho wears cords of black dirt under his finger-nails, for his income, ' they say,' is severity-five thou Sand dollars a year. His wife was blazoned with a diamond brooch as big as a horse shoo." • A DELUGE OF .WHEAT.—The wheat pressing forward to 'market begins to embarrass the western roads, whose freight equippage will soon be fully .employed. The Illinois Central Road has found it necessary to order three hum. Bred more freight cars. A large amount of wheat has already reached Chicago from. the southern section of the road. One station alone, (Jonesburgh,) it is estimated, willgive the road this season 300,000 bushels.

The man who heedlessly finds fault on every occasion, only lays the foundation for his own sorrow, for ho takes away an iMportant motive which actu ates the wife to faithfulness and pains -taking; and she must be more than a common woman, who, in the face of repeated fault-finding, can find a heart long to exert herself, only to To ceive again the same•roward. 11:7 - Quarre/.1.—One of the commonest and most foolish things in the world, is to quarrel, no matter with whom, man, woman, or child or upon what pretence, provocation, or occasion whatever.
