On Friday evening next, Dr. Emma, of Phil

Manufactin•ing, Commercial and Productive
Industry of our State." De liaS visited differ

changes represent his lectures as rare intellec
tual treats—being beautiful in description--
and his audiences not only delighted but also
instructed. We earnestly advise our citizens
to attend. As he will speak of educated indus
try, it is important that the mechanics should
not fail to be present.
Fatal Accident
On Thursday afternoon last a very sad nevi•
dent happened near Quakertown, which result
ed in the instant death of Jostant CAMI, a con
tractor• on section No. 45 on the North Penn
sylvania Railroad. The deceased and several
others, among them his partner Mr. 14tuldards,
and his foreman, were out on a gunning ex
pedition, and while walking along the road, the
foreman attempted to affix a cap to his gun,
which 'prematurely discharged, the load enter
ing into the side of Mr. 0., immediately under
the arm, killing him instantly. He was about
30 years of age, and highly respected and es
teemed by all who knew hint. his remains
were taken to his mother's residence near Wil
mington, Delaware, where they were interred
on Sunday last. lie leaves a young wife to
whom he was united in wedlock only three
weeks previous to this melancholy occurrence.
on whom the bereavement falls with a crushing
force. Truly has the poet said,—
" There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end.''
The Ohl Grave Yard
About a week ago we spent an hour or two
in strolling through the old Crave Yard. We
are sorry to say that. the grounds arc in a great
state of dilapidation,—being overgrown with
weeds, numerous head and foot stones arc lying
down, and the fences are in a rickety condition.
Slime the Union Cemetery has been esablished.
it is seldom that an interment takes place here.
Wo also find that there is a marked want of
tomb stones, many mounds being without a slab
or a letter to show who rested thercunder.—:
This probably is owing to the decay of the tem
porary boards which served to mark the spot.
These records are extremely interesting. and
add much to the solemn and impressive beau
ties-of the scene. No gaudy or expensive uionu
ment is needed to mark the nesting-place of any
one, but a simple marble slab, with name, age
and date, should designate the spot where re
pose the . remains of each once held dear by few
or many.
Coming homeward we also visited the Allen
town Cemetery. 'Everything, appears in good
order. During the Summer • several monu
ments were tastefully disposed throughout the
grounds,—some of them being exquisite works
of art, which with the numerous trees, shrub
beries, &c., makes it.n place of beauty and in
terest.
EEO
Danowsky & Co. have lately extended the
gas pipes into a number of new streets. Every
body now, who does not live in the districts, is
crazy to get the article, and well they may lie,
for oil is abominable and 11 , m1 unsafe ; candles
will drip, and camphene is decidedly dangerous.
Never mind friends ! have a little more pa•
tience. Next Summer the pipes will be extend
ed over the whole town, and we hope the
citizens along the different streets tat have
sufficient wisdoM and liberality to Patronize
tho enterprise in a becoming manner. Some
time since they pnrchased the property of lir.
John Egge at the Jordan Midge, and intend
next Spring to remove their Wm ha thither and
enlarge them so as to be able to meet any in
creased demand. Doctor ilanon•sky deserves
the thanks of our connimnity tbr'having estab
lished by his own individual enterprise what
in other towns is regarded as an undertaking
achieyed only by the capital and energy of stool;
companies. Ile comminced his operations on a
small scale by erecting small works on his lot
and laying pipes in but one black, and finding
his labor crowned with r.,IICCCS, he erected larg,
er works on a lot in the lower part of town,
and now the pipes are extended through all the
prbacipal streets.
Plunt ?frecei
Now is the proper season to plant trees
this county, the present season of general abun
dance of fruit to those Who had taken the pains
and labor some years since to supply their prcin
ises with a variety of fruit trees, ought to in
duce those who itre still without a plentiful sup
ply to attend at once to planting 'an orchard
or such trees as should absolutely be about
their premises. The magnificent apples which
abound in our midst this fall, are that
much testimony in favor of the fact that it
needs only'attention to planting to have the best
of fruit. And next to fruit trees, come shade
and ornamental trees, which sbould also be at
tended to. Many dwellings throughout the
country and in our villages are without any
shade or protection from the sun during the
long days of summer, because it has been too•
much trouble to plant a tree or two in season
to hide them from the sun's rays. It is not too
late yet to make a beginning and let it be
The ~ Free Lovers."
It would scarcely be possible to invent a
moral or religious dogma or series of dogmas so
absurd that they would fail to secure disciples,
if 'l4,liji!lied to the world. When the pretences
of JoiT7..urro first provoked the jeers of the
Public no one could have imagined the exist
ence of the blinded credulity which has built
upon that bydiculous'imposture--such a city
tunisystern as now flourishes in Utah. But the
ravings of that insane enthusiast has been fol
lowed with consequences for which truth and
true religion might under similar circumstances
strive in vain. In its wake has rapidly followed
similar delusions, more of less mischievous.—
Millerism, Spirit I - tappings, the various proge
ny of Fourierism, &c., and last,. in the year
1555, another, ns injurious to morals and vir

LOVEISNI. ThoSe who are inclined to look
upon the possibility of the success of this
nets heresy as incredible, as greatly mis
take human nature as did the observers
of Joe Smith in his first cfforfs at proselyting
his neighbors. It has already laid its founda
tion and will without doubt succeed much bet
ter than the delusion of Spirit Ilappings, situ
ply because it accords more fully with depraved
human nature, and appeals to stronger as well
as baser passions.
The name of the heresy expresses its design.

'Under professions of purity and virtue such a
system will furnish refuge for the whole of that
debauchery and libertinisM which possesses
enough of the memory of virtue to hide from
the gaze of the world and the light of day,—a
welcome veil to obscure moral impurity which
would shock and disgust the public eye.
The sweets of purity and youthful love ; the
calm pleasures of the family circle ; the fond
endearing.nlicction of re sister or brother—the
shelter and support and comfort of old age,—
all these are boons to be sacrificed by " reform
cis" to palliate the reproaches of a virtuous
public and yet living conscience. and to give
looser rein to the worst propensities of the hu
man heart.
THEATRE.
Townsend's Theatrical Company will this
evening again appear at the Odd Fellows' Hall,
and continue for a season of two weeks, and
were they to consult the wishes of the fun
loving portion of our' community they would
remain here the entire winter. Two or three
new members have been added to the company
while at Reading. They will now be able to
acquit themselves still more creditably. Full
houses May be expected.
The AVlient reltlas
of the county present an exec - Tech:loy luxu
riant and flourishing appearance. The moist
and warm weather thus, far, has been favora
ble to the rapid growth of the young plant,
and should it continue for a time, the wheat
generally will be sufficiently forward to stand
the winter without much injury. A large
breadth of ground has been sown this fall, as
the high prices at present ruling market have
stimulated the farmers to increased exertions.
Loaning, Newspnpers.
Subscribers to papers often make complaint
of the non-arrival of their papers, and in sonic
instances infiltrate that the loss is occasioned by
the fact of the postmaster loaning to his neigh
bors the papers of others for perusal. The
papers fail to be returned to their proper place,
and hence the dissatisfaction. Postmasters are
strictly forbidden to loan newspapers that are
in their office for delivery.
"What n Newspnper * is Nit Rewaril
The result of my observation enables me to
stale as a fact, that publishers of newspapers
arc more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the 'United States, who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital and thought.—
They arc expeeled to do more service for less
pay, to stand more sponging and " dead head
ing," to Puff and defend more people, and sorts
of people, without fee or hope of reward, than
any other class.
Theysredit wider and lengcr : get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss : and are
oftener the victims ofinisplaced confidence, than
any other calling in the community. People
pay a Printer's bill more reluctantly than any
other. It goes harder with them to expend a
dollar on a valuable newspaper, than ten on a
needless gewgaw; yet everybody avails him
self of the services of the editor's and printer's
ink. How many professional and political rep
utations and fortunes have been created and
sustained by the friendly, .though unrequited
pen of the editor ? How many embryo towns
and cities have been Mought: into notice, and
pulled into prosperity by the press ? How
many railroads, now in successful operation,
would have foundered but for the assistance of
the " lever that moves the world :" in short,
what branch of American industry, or activity,
has not been promoted, stimulated and defend
ed by the press ? And who has tendered it
more than a miserable pittance for its mighty
services ? The bazaars of fashion and folly,
the haunts of appetite and dissipation, are
thronged with an eager crowd bearing gold in
their palms, and the commodities there vended
are sold at enormous profits, though intrinsi
cally worthless, an paid fix• with scrupulous
punctuality ; while the counting room of the
newspaper is the seat of jewing, cheapening
trade orders and pennies. It is made a point
of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dis
honor to repudiate a printer's bill.

We are told that this crop in this county
never came in better than the present seaso
it escaped the blight during.the summer months
and ripened before the early frcst injured thb
kernel. A larger breadth than usual was sown.
The crop will 3 kid from 20 to 30'bushels per
acre. Surely this is good news to the lovers of
buckwheat cakes and sausages. We may here
tell our good housewives that one buckwheat
cake " diffacth from another in glory," yet
.not one in a thousand is made right. Yet . of
all things it is the easiest to bake, if the meal.
is made rightly. To every three bushels of
buckwheat, add %le of good heavy oats ; grind
'them together as if there was only buckwheat ;
tluis will you have cakes always light, and
always brown ; to say nothing of the great
digestibility, and the lightening of spirits, which
are equally certain. He who feeds on buck
wheat may be grum and lethargic, while he of
the oatmeal will have exhiliaration of brain and
contentment of spirit.
This monthly, for November, has been on

Ea ton Enterprlze.
The stock-holders in the new Agricultural
Society met at the Court House on Wednesday
evening last and made a permanent organiza
tion. A Constitution and By-laws were adopt
ed and the following gentlemen elected Mana
gers for the year : John Davis, Joseph
Steckel, Christian. Nagel, William Firmstone,
Dr. E. Schlough, Jacob B. Odenwelder, George
Y. Yates, Theodore R. Sitgreaves, Joseph Sig
man, James Shoemaker, It. C. Pyle, James M.
Porter, Samuel Yohe and David Connor.
The Managers have held a meeting and se
lected SAMCF.I. Yonn as President.
A committee was appointed and authorized
to purchase 25 acres of ground of the Messrs.
Odenwelder, on the north side of the Bethlehem
road, at $2.00 an acre. The site selected is a
very fine one. We learn that Mr. Odenwelder
contemplates the erection of a fine Hotel near
the grounds and to have the Water from his
spring forced up . the hill.
The name adopted for the . Society is. " The
Farmer's and Mechanics Institute of North
ampton County." The whole amount of the
Capital Stock, 515,000, has been taken ; this
sum is regarded as sufficient to improve the
ground and erect handsome buildings.—Argus.
John Adams nna ThOMRS Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was born in Virginia, and
John Adams in Massachusetts, they each re
ceived a splendid eductttiorrand*Lhen embraced
the profession of law. Both acquainted them
selves with literature and science, and they
both became noted for their literary at
tainments. They both entered into the open
ing contest with Great Britain, among the
warmest advocates of colonial rights, first each
in his respective State, and afterwards in the .
confederacy. They were both active members
of the Congress which declared our national in
dependence : both served as members upon the
same committee that reported the declaration
of Independence—both served their govern
ment upon foreign mission, and both served in
their time as Vice President and President of
the United States. Jefferson styled Adams
" The Colossus" of the Congress, a member of
ninety different committees, and acting as chair
man of twenty-five, one of the able 4 advocates.
defenders and supporters of the Declaration of
Independence, and also of the constitution.
And whilst Adams became the leader .f
the federal party, Jefferson headed what was
called the Republican party. The federal
party were the warm supporters of the Con
stitntion. :Whilst the Republican party` fear
ed that, it consolidated too much power in
the general Government, that the States had
yielded up to the government certain sovereign
tights, - which they once controled and should
have retained. But notwithstanding Adams
and Jefferson entertained different policies, and
advocated contrary meastit es, as they deemed
best to effect the general gobd, and promote the
best interest of their country, yet both were
great and efficfent laborers in maintaining the
unity of the government.
They both departed this life on the fourth o

CAUSE or TEE RUSSIAN WAIL—A correspon
dent calls our attention to the following extract
from a sermon recently delivered by Rev. Mr.
SCHAUFFLER, who has long been a Protestant
missionary at Constantinople. Ile says :
What are these thousands and scores -of
thousands fighting for? Ask the people in
Russia. There is- no man or woman in Russia,
I mean who is not familiar with the Emperor's
design to seize Turkey, and reside in Constan
tinople. The more intelligent understand the
further bearings ; which are, Russia will rule
the Mediterranean, and be a mistress in Europe.
This they consider the divine destiny and mis
sion of their nationality: The priests see still
farther. The means pretty successfully em
pkiyed in Russia, to draw in by fraud and keep
in by force the members of religious commu
nities, will be carried all aver the Old World.
Protestant missions will be crushed, Bible, and
Tract Societies crippled by laws and restric
tions, and the Russian priests live in their mil
lennial glory. Of those plans, which are per
fectly transparent to every reasonable man in
Russia, European government have compre
hended at least the political part. Pew see the
ecclesiastical and religious, which, however, to
us, is the burden of the inquiry. To.carry out
these plans, immense fortresses and navies are .
built, unl oohed for interferences att emptea, revo
lutions kindled among the subjects of this
country, fates pretences spread before the
world, war commenced in time of peace. Is
all this right ? No ! No ! Has Europe a right to
resist it ? Not a right only, but both right
and duty—more still, a necessity.

correspondent at
Douglassville sends us the tiarticalars . of a hor
rible murder committed on the , Ust Oct, on'
the person of Mrs. Hannah Shingle, a widow
lady about 60 years old, residing in North Cov-
entry township, Chester county, one and a half
miles south of Unionville. The house was en
tered by means of a ladder placed against a'
Window in the second story, and it appears
that the murdered woman was down stairs
when the murderer was climbing in the window
above. She went up to see what was wrong,
taking her axe with her, as she was accustomed
to do. Upon coming to the head of the stairs,
slie.wns met by the villain, when a desperate
struggle ensued., Ile pushed her to a bed which
was near by,.succeeded in taking the axe from
her, hit her some five or six times across the
the head, and killed her almost instantly. She
was undoubtedly killed onrsuppositioil that she
had money in the house, as the murderer ri
fled every thing in the house, *here he supposed
money could have been concealed ; even an old
clock-ca 9 - down stairs, wnsbroken open. One

habit Of putting money son ' Ames in the clock.
The murderer succeeded in ght,ing all the
money she had, with the exceptiON of $5,25
which was found in one corner of We \ bureau.
As yet, suspicion rests upon no one, snd the
villain is still at large. Mrs. Shingle Was liv

done so for seine years.—Reading Gazette.
ROBBER ARRESTED BY A LADY.—A few months
since a lady belonging to this city went to New
York, and put up nt one of the Broadway ho
tels. .After going to her room for the night,
she took out her pocket book and watch and
laid them on the table, and then sat down to
read. While engaged hr reading she thought
she heard breathing from some one apparently
near by, but finally concluded it must be ima
gination. Soon after she began making prepar
ations to. retire, and in adjusting her hair, she
dropped one of her pins. While stooping to
pick it up she discovered a hat under the bed,
and a closer observation revealed to her sight
the full length figure of a man. Without evin
cing any emotion, she quickly threw a shawl
over her shoulders, went out of the room, lock
ing the door after her, and stepping into the
hall she rang a bell which summoned to her as
sistance the proprietors, who called in the as
sistarice of a police officer, and the intruder was
arrested. There was finiid on the prisoner a
bottle of chloroform. lie was convicted on the
testimony of the lady, and sent to the State
prison fin• six months. The sequel to the whole
was in dropping tho hair pimi.—Neze Haven

Grs. SCOT : IVIN - .—We agree with our ven

gratification to the whole countrY„to learn that
the President of the 'United States has decided
that the distinguished Commander-in• Chief of
the Army is entitled to pay as Lieutenant Gen
eral, from the 2911 of May, 1847. This deci
sion is no doubt in accordance with the inten
tion of Congress in confering upon Gen. Score•
thipank previously held in this country only
by Gen. WAStuNarox ; because, high as the
complimentary title might in itself have been
considered, the national heart cheerfully re
sponded to the first suggestion, and would have
been satisfied with nothing less than a substan
tial token of the country's gratitude and its
high appreciation of the merit of this renowned
officer.

we learn by a letter from 1)r. L. W. Read, of
Norristown, who writes, under date of Simphe•
ropol, September oth : "We had an arrival a
few days ago, of four Americium two of whom
Drs. Deininger and Smith, were from Penitsyl

NEW STATE 01'T OP Titx.ts.—A writer from
western Texas, says; the German, French,
Swiss. Hungarian. and otlnr Eurorean settlers
in Northwestern Texas are to a man in favor of
forming a nzw State out of the western portion
of that State : and to a man they arc opposed
to slavery. There are many settlers from the
.Northern States among them, too, and together
he thinks they can command ten thousand votes
already. The letter is written by Mr. Wmeox,
a member of Congress from Mississippi; who
has lately returned from a visit to Texas. By
the act annexing Texas it is provided that it
May be divided into two or more States, and it
is quite probable that such a division will ere
long be demanded.

Evrgers os.atis groau..=—The greatest de.
struction of property, by the gale on Sunday
tho 28th ult., which we have heard-of, occurred
at Doylestown. The great At icultural
Exhi
bition building , which cost about $28,000 was
laid in ruins. The Bucks County Intellgencer
says :
," At ten o'clock the wind had so increased as
to stave in the north side of the west wing, ono
hundred feet long,. and down it carre . with a
crash that was heard to some distance in the
country. In a short time, the cast wing, ono
hundred feet long, and extending eastward to
wards the town, began to show . signs Of giving
up the ships, it reeled and rocked; and rocked
and reeled in the air, like something crazy, and
nt last'it fell with a tremendous crash, a cloud
of dust , and smoke rising fn triumph over tho
ruins. The centre wing on the north and south
sides , soon tottered and fell with tremendous
crashes, and the whole building twb hundred
and fifty feet long by fifty feet wide, and its
two wings each fifty feet square, lay in ono tort
fused and indescribable mass of ruins. The
sight was a grand one, and was witnessed by
hundreds of our citizens. The news flew
almost with the rapidity of the wind, and du
ring the afternoon, the 'spot where the famous
building once reared its head in triumph,
was visited almost by thousands who came in
from the surrounding country. The building
began to give way to tho hurricane before ten
o'clock, and in less than three quarters of an
hour, there was " a wreck of matter" that as
tonished the beholder. The cost of the build
ing was about twenty eight thousand dollars, and

others who were employed about it and fur

'UTILITY OF LF.AVES.—Every person convern.
ant with. vegetable philosophy, is aware that
the all-important requisite in the growth of fine
fruit, is a good supply of big, vigorous, healthy
leaves. A tree which is kept defoliated for a
single season, must die, and fruit growing upon
trees which are deprived of their leaties cannot
ripen—examples of which are furnished by the
instant cessation e. of growth and ripening of fruit
upon trees w rbecome stripped by leaf blight.
In one instance a s dense mass of plums remained
half grown and flittorless for several weeks,
in consequence of thospremature dropping
of the foliage—a second crop of leaves after
wards effected the completion of their growth
and their ripening to honied sweetness. Mr.
Moore: of Detroit, has a magnificent grape vino
spreading itself over one'-side of his louse,
which was in September richly laden with frujt.
After the clusters were formed, a cow entered
the enclosure, ate the leaves entirely, but left
the fruit untouched. The consequence was that
upon that portion of the vine which was beyond
the reach of the animal, there never were finer
clusters, while upon the portion from which the
leaves were removed, the cluster dwindled
away.—Tl - a,shington Agriculturalist.

TYPE DISTRIBUTOR:—Among the mechanical
wonders of recent invention, is a machine to ,
distribute printer's types—that is, to replace
the letters in the 'case' or receptacles after
they have been ' set up' and used in printing.'
Averal of these machines are now in operation.
in New York, and are said to work with sur
prising, accuracy, and celerity. . The Jour,* of
Connerce is convinced of its practical utility
in large printing establishments ; says that by
menus of it one man or boy can distribute
12.000 ems per hour, or four times as much as
by hand, and that 30,000 ems per hour can be
distributed by steam. Think of that! Dis
tributing type by steam ! What will the Yea
kers lie doing next ?
