Ligricultt.ral Meeting. The annual meeting of the Lehigh County gric ultur 41 Society will be held at Bechtel's Hotel, on Tuesday the sth of February next, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, instead of the Court House; asldvertised last week. Court Court commenced on Monday last ; Judge McCinxxim, and Associates Haas and Keck in their chairs. Boas IlAt:smAN, Esq., was chosen foreman of the Grand Jury. The excellent sleighing brought an unusual number of our country friends to town, giving it a very lively appearance. A row Boron;;" In another column of to-day's paper will be found an ordinance enacted by the town•cotut cil at its last meeting raative to the cleansing of pavements and gutters, of snow, ice, slush, mud, &c., which will take Lae: on and after the 27th instant. We have heretofore :spoken of the necessity of such a myasure, and it gay us pleasure to hear that tie " borough fathors' 'had at last given an attentive car to the fre quent complaints. It is to be regretted that it was not done sooner, as of late free locomotion was almost an impossibility to foot passongers, in consequence of the snow and slush which bad remained on the pavementst.uddenly freez ing into a mass of ice. We hope the require ments of the new ordinance will be complied with by our citizens ; and if not, our policemen should be prompt in lodging complaint against spell who refuse to comply 'with it, which in all probability will bring about the desired result. Celd Weather. The sleighing and the intense cold have been the topics since our last. ‘lre have had colder' weather last week, than has been known for many years. The Thermometer on Wednesday morning was 5 degrees below zero,— a slate of freezing that would reflect no discredit upon the polar regions. In Philadelphia ell Wedneday morning it was colder than it has been for 3 yeats. The Delaware was frozen so that per sons crossed over on the ice front the Navy Yard to South Cannlti. We have most excellent sleighing at present, and our citizens, excepting printers and other' poor people, arc improving their time most faithfully. Almost daily parties are going out to the neighboring towns. Merry times have these sleighing parties ! The keen air—the sparkling snow—the jingling belhl—the swiftly moving horses--the merry laugh—the bright eyes—the blooming cheeks—who has not en• joyed them by the Witching light of the stare? On Tuesday evening of last week a company of twenty-five couple came over from our neigh boring borough of Bethlehem, and stopped at the American. They had a good supper, mu sio, dancing, anti enjoyed a capital good time till the hours Of 'night grew late, and then re turned home. • On the same evening a large and select party of gentlemen of this place paid a visit to Bethle hem, Freemansburg and llellertown. They had a capital supper prepared by that " prince of landlords," CRAIG, at Frecinansburg, and otherwise enjoyed thtnisclves to their heart's content, but the fact that the thermometer marked some degree below zero, with a sharp wind facing them on the way up, hardly added to physical comfort. , 'll.3Lvr Petitions are already pouring into the Legis lature asking the repeal cf the law passed at the last session, rest' ainMg the sale of ephituuns liquors, and ulnae is commonly known `its the jug law. ,'`.s yet none have been presented from Lehigh, but the adjOining counties arc active in this movement. It is generally cou• ceded that this law will be muddied in some form, or repealed entirely before the adjouru• meat of the Legislature. A very extensive Zinc mine, says the Valley Times, has just been discovered on the lands ul )(Gilbert W etherill, at Friedensville. The ore is aaid to be more valuable and extensive than the celebrated '• L'eberroth mine," about half a mile off. This is important froin.the fact that it is located in another, part of the Saucon valley, and indicates an inexhaustible supply. Singular Aucidont A somewhat singular :accident occurred tAP Coopersburg on Thursday last, the particulars of which were related to us as follows : A cow 'belonging to Mr. Aaron Lrrosh became'greatly enraged while driven by the School House below the village in consequence of some noise made by the schoolboys, and afttrr they got to Coop orsburg. she took a deterntined stand in the street, and repulsed all tfforts made to drive her on. While this was going on a sleigh came slang and she made a desperate plunge at the Itorse, ripping open with her horns the flank pp that the entrails protruded therefrom. Both 'animals were thereupon shot. congress. "No Speaker yet." Such is the summary of the news which each day travels over the wires from Washington to every part of the _1 The balloting goes on, with now and then a little episode in the way of a quarrel between = i some ambitious politicians, and then a 'general defining of positions and explanations of plat ads. forms. Six Avccks have already been consumed ulna- in frdidess efforts to organize, costing the na , tiou about *lOO,OOO, and the breach between 1 the parties is wider now than ever. The legis lation of the country is delayed—important and pressing public questions are denied the con ' sideration which they merit and require, and the eyes of a elation are careles . sly watching the progress of a farce which disgraces those who arc responsible for it, and will eventually bring upon them the contempt not only of their con " stituents, but of the entire nation. What good can be derived from standing thus confronting each other, we are at a loss to imagine. Upon whom does the responsibility of pre venting an organization rest ? is a question which is beginning to be asked by the publiC, and one in which the people have an interest. Not upon the democrats who are voting for Richardson. • They are standing upon their true plattlini7-are voting for the representative of: their principles, and arc in this matter consist-, ent. These are not the men who arc primarily at fault in t'-is matter. Nor upOn the Repub licans, who vote for Banks, for they are in a plurality and are following out the instructions given them by their constituents in electing them. The whole difficulty is caused by the miserably factional policy, and action, of a few men who were elected as Free Soilers, who could not have been elected as any other, and who are now, under pretence of not being able to support Banks, thwarting every eilbrt to organize, by maliciously scattering their votes upon men who stand ten chances of being struck by lightning to one of being elected at for v speaker. Honest differences of opinion arc to be re- speeted, and when parties arc nicely balanced, a reasonable amount of firmness in support al their prinCiples is not only justifiable, but may be regarded as praiseworthy ; but when all I these, parties differ Considerably in the number of their adherents, and neither, while standing rigid upon its own platform, has force enough of itself, or attractivness sufficient to draw allies front the opposite ranks, some compromise should be made. it is not possible that there are no other three gentlemen in all that body capable of filling the office of Speaker. Itieither is it possible that there is not, at least, one upon whom a majority of the members may unite. A proper degree of firmness is a virtue, but there is no honor iu being consistent in obstinacy ; in clinging to a particular individ ual and ignoring all others. If Messrs. Rich ardson, Banks, and Fuller, can neither of them command a majority of the votes, either let the plurality rule be adopted, or set aside these candidates, and bring forward others less oh noMous. Whatever effect the choice of this nominee, or that, may have upon the success of party, we have no fear that the power wielded by either can materially affect for evil the in• terests of the nation. The last ballot (107th) resulted as follows: Banks, 04 ;'Richardson, GO ; Fuller 34 ; Pen- nington, 7 'L'cachors' Aumoiation The society having met according to ad journment, and the President having taken the chair, the meeting was called to order. The minutes of last meeting were read and on motion adopted. Reading, the subject for this evening's discussion was taken up and inter estingly occupied the attention of the meeting. Moved and adopted that in accordance with the views of the County Superintendent the consideration of the subject of a County Con vention be postponed.

Election of lJnitod Statos Senator At 12 o'clock on Monday last the two Bonus of the State Legislature went into Convention for the purpose of electing a United States Sen ator, to serve for six years from the 4th of ,larch, 1855. The following is the result of the first ballot : William Bigler . Edward Joy Morris John C. Flenniken William Bigler was thereupon declared elect ed, and the usual certificate of election drawn, signed and read, after which the Convention adjourned. 0:7 The Legislature of. Maine met on, the 2d inst., when the anticipated fusion between the " Straight Whigs" and the Democrats went into full effect. The Senate chose 4 Democratic Pre sident and a Whig Secretary, and the House a Whig Speaker and a Democratic Clerk.

"Ms educntion forms tho youthful mind; Just as the twig is bent the troo 's inclined." Whtit are we and what are our children without education? Everything depends upon this as it regards our character and standing, in society. It is by cultivating and expanding' the intellect that we advance the manners, the morals, and even the religious interests of the community. Mark it where' you will, those children that arc brought up in ignorance, arc always coarse and vulgar, and awkward. The very first lessons of civility they have not learnt. They know neither how to make a bOw or a I courtesy, indeed there are so many/forbidding repellances in their deportment, that you even dread to approach them, and much more to maintain any intercourse with them. It is the tendency of education to rub off and polish r up the manners of those otherwise low and vulgar characters" with whom we often meet ; and moreover it has a like tendency to improve the morals of our youth, and save them from those vices into which the ignorant and uncultivated are so prone to fall. Let a young man have diligently cultivated his intellect, and acquired a taste for sound learning, and you will not, find him, except in very rare cases, given to profanity, to intemperance or to any of the popular vices of the day. Contrast the igneranec, the rudeness and the helplessness of the savage with the know ' ledge ' the refinement and the mental resources i of the educated man. You can hardly persuade yourself that they belong to the saute species, yet the infant children of both are in all re spects the same. In both, the same mental powers lie folded up, and in both the organs of sensation, adapted to these powers are exactly similar. What but education creates the dif ference in subsequent life ? While the uncul tivated mind of the savage will scarcely elevate himself above the brute, leaving him alike insensible, both to the treasuries of nature and the wonders of creation, the man whose capa cities have been developed and strengthened by education, may be able to comprehend with in the ample range of his intelligence the uni verse of God. All the heautiCs of creation may have been unveiled before hint. The secret laws of nature may have been so revealed to his enraptured view as to unlock to him her rich stores, and thus his intellectual faculties and attainments may be made subservient to his highest advantage and delight. It is to education alone that the civilized and enlightened man owes all his superiority over the degraded savage. It is this, which next to religion, and along with it, raises hint above the debasing dominion of sense, and teaches I him to respect the voice of reason and of con science. It is this, while it developes the ties that unite him with friends, with kindred and I the great family of man, that causes his bosom to glow with social tenderness, and expands the emotions of sympathy into habitual and noble benevolence. So great aiel so obvious is the influence of education in the development and direction of our moral as well as intellectual faculties, that some ingenious authors have as cribed to this cause (dune, all the . varieties of human character. But while to-this theory there may be some objections, yet education does confessedly stand forth as holding a mighty sway over men. Who is yet to learn that with out it, man can neither be intelligent, happy, or useful ? It is this that poftrs light into the understanding, lays up its golden treasures in the memory, softens the asrerities of the tent per, cheeks the waywardness of passion, and trains to habits of temperance, industry and j benevolence.— Ex. rclv Colnltoricits The last number of Bickncll's•Reporter gives the fullowing list of new counterfeits.

Tun Cnors.—The Now York lhstorical So- ciety has furnished the following estimate of the crops of the United Stales, for the year 1855 : Wheat, bu., from 168,006,000 to 165,000,000 Indian Corn, . • '2,000,000,000 Oats, • . . . 400,000,000 Rice,. 225,000,000 Ryo, from 16,000,000 to Barley, . Potatoes. . . • Sugar, lbs., Cotton, bales, from 3,000,000 to Hay, tons, . • • ' • (1:71..ive pork is now coming. into the Phila delphia and New York markets, by Railroad, in large quantities. Later from Europe. The steamship Arago arrived at New York on Sundny, bringing four days later news from EurdPe. Rumors of peace are abundant.— Count Eszterhazy has gone from Vienna to St. Petersburg, as the bearer of new propositions of pence, invented by Austria and assented to by both Franco and England. The terms thus' submitted to the Czar are : 1. The Black Sea to be closed against war vessels of all nations, Russian. Turkish and other. 2. A general pio tection of the great powers over the Christians of Turkey. 3. The free navigation of the Dan ube to be secured. 4. The fortresses of Bomar sund and Sebastopol not to be rebuilt. The Czar is to have a fortnight to consider these proposals ; if he rejects them there will be an end of negotiations till after the next campaign, in which there is a vague, but we dare say most' fallacious, notion that Austria will take some part. If he accepts, a new Conference will take place at Dresden or Munich. There is not much reason to believe that Count Eszterhazy will have to wait for his answer, or that it will be other than a flat negati've. Russia is not yet sufficiently humiliated to accept such terms. From Kars we have at last positive intelli• gence of the capitulation of the garrison to the 1 Russians—all their heroism being unable to contend against Starvation. The Muchir, com manding the Turkish army of Anatolia, togeth er with some ten other general officers, inclu ding the British general, Williams, were taken ' jprisoners ; but the Ilungr.rians, Knotty, Koll j man, and Tashler, succeeded in making their escape from Erzeroum, rather than run tliC risk of being surrounded by the Austrians, which the Russiang would probably have done. Of Omar Paella we heard nothing ; it is said 1 however, Babutoif is about to march from Kutair to attack him, andj the. British journals ' 1 arc clamorous for sending re•inforcements to ' him from Sebastopol. A ROmarkablo Man AND A UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOR DISEASE. , :- This city is now - the home of one of the most remarkable men of the age —a man who has traversed the civilized globe, and established in almost every country which he has visited, the sale of his medicines for the relief of human suffering, and which are a certain cure for dis ease in all its forms. We allude to PROFESSOR THOMAS HOLLOWAY, of London. It is now sev eral years since. this benefactor of the human race.first proclaimed to the world, through the British press, that he had, after deep research, prepared a remedy that was sure to eradicate' disease. Years of patient investigation into the laws of human physiology which control our bodies iu health and when diseased, led to the invention and preparation of the world-re nowned HOI.LOWAY ' 3 PILLS and 0 INTM ENT. - Nearly, if not quite one half of the human race have taken his medicines ! His name is as uni versally known over the globe as that of Alex• lander, Napoleon, or Washington, when in the height of their ambitious career. If they con quered nations on the field of battle, Professor Holloway has, with no weapon but that of sci ence, conquered disease in all its forms. His trieritot ions career is Pounded by no imaginary lints of latitude and longitude short of those marking the confines of civilization itself. Nu isolated country or nation was sufficiently ex tensive for the operation of his enterprising and gigantic intellect. Wherever disease has a resi dence, there he has penetrated with his medi cines and left an enviable and enduring reputa: tiou. After enlightening Europe, his fame! spread over Asia and the civilized portions of Africa, and finally appeared in America. lie has translated the cures he has performed and the virtues of his medicines into as many lan guages as the misNionatbs have the Bible.— Governments, otherwise the most despotic, have been forced by the great value of his medi cines, and their popularity with the people, to remove antiquated and time-honored rcs'aiTetiOn upon the introductiou_nc-fereignmedicines, and open ffiffir -eii-sioffi houses to a J . /cc i,itrodlicLini 'r - t - o - the pills and sint»leW i.f this distinguished man. Empires and king louts removed the bar riers of ages against the introduction and sale of propriatary or patent medicines, and freely permitted Holloway's medicines to become the physician of the masses.—N.

The rope that he was hung with, the crowd after• wards took, cut it up in small pieces, and di vided it out among them, to act as a charm in protecting them in the future from ague and all other diseases. Surely this is the gitintesSence of superstition.— Terre Haute (Ind.) Express.
