We Would 'write about the weather did we think that any thing that we could say concerning it, would be new to our readers, but taking it for granted that they have eyes, as well as ourselves, and can see as well, and are possessed of the same senses generally, the sulject is submitted to the reader. Moving West Quite a number of families in our County. arc making speedy preparations to move West.— Hard toiling farmers are selling their comforta ble hoMes ; mechanics and others in the midst of prosperity, leave the scenes of their youth and the graves of their fathers, to seek a home and satisfy their aspirations for wealth upon the wide and fertile prairies in the West. En ticed away from the sunny hill-sides of '• Little Lehigh" by the glowing accounts of prosperity in those distant regions, they leave the endear ments of social life for one of privation and self denial. From what we have read and heard of the Western States, we would not speak unfavora ble of them, much as wo dislike to see people leave our County, nor would we discourage en terprising yoting farmers and mechanics from moving there to build up their fortunes. But to those who have already passed the prime of their life, and have families and comfortable homes, we say remain where you are. The West will be a new world to you, and the pri vations you Will there experience will cause you many regrets for having left a good situation among us. You cannot withstand the assaults of disease incident to the West like the more youthful emigrant ; neither can you expect to find the friends and neighbors whose presence cheered you here. The West .is a place for young, hardy, energetic men and womeZc. Because a number who went West years ago have amassed considerable wealth, it does not follow that all who go now will also rise to af fluence. Unless the farmer goes back, far from any settlement, he must pay a large price for land, and if he turns pioneer, striking out into the wide-spread prairie, he must encounter pri vations of a severe nature. Farming in this, as well as the adjoining States, has met with unfruitful seasons and short crops 'for several years, while in the West the reverse has been experienced. The exportations of breadsiuffs to California and Europe have made a market for our surplus wheat, thus keeping prices at a high figure and filling the rekets of Western farmers. It is now evident that a reaction will take place. California now more than supplies herself with provisions, and the close of the war in Europe. will stop the demand in that di rection. A few fruitful seasons in this part of the country will supply our wants, while the West will find the demand for its surplus grain to diminish. The over-strained prices of land at the 'West trill rapidly contract, and farming; which is now the life and prosperity of that part of the country, will be an every-day busi -ness and not a speculation. The chances for making a fortune by farming, we. consider, will not be so good for the next six ycarS as they have been during the past five. There is no doubt that those who go West with the intention of htboring, can obtain a good living much easier than they can among us, but a simple living witliout the comforts of social life, is poor encouragement to those who live to enjoy themselves. Those who go West with families will, find it for their in terest not to go too far, Kansas and Nebraska are too remote, and too sparsely settled for emigrants ill quallifled to withstand'the hard ships of a pioneer life. There is as good land in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan as can be found in Kansas or Minnesota, and it can be obtained' much cheaper considering the privileges con meted with it. The Moving Folks stirred about with great alacrity yesterday, there being a general turn-out of household goods into the street, as they were conveyed from tenements vacated to another twelve month resting-place.

THE LICENSE BILL *gill. in ! the early part of last week the Committee of Conference on the liquor licenses agreed upon a bill, and reported the same to libth branches ! of the Legislature. The bill, as finally agreed! upon by the Committee, authorizes the Courts ! to 'license hotels, inns, taverns, and eating houses, under certain pretty stringent restric tions. Not more than one hotel to every 100 taxables may be licensed in the cities ; nor more than one to every 150 taxables in the country, to be 'apportioned among the wards of the cit ies, and boroughs and townships of the coun ties, as the convenience and necessities of the public may require. The minimum rate of hotel licenses in Pittsburg and Philadelphia, is fixed at $75 ; in county towns and boroughs of over 200 taxables, 650 : in the country, $25. One eating-11puse to every four hotels may be licensed in city and country, with the privilege to sell domestic wines and malt liquors only— the license fee not to be less than $5O in Phila- I delphia, and $2O in other parts of the State. Brewers and distillers are to pay double the rates of license,now fixed by law, which shall in no case be less that $5O, and must not sell in less quantities than five gallons, except in the case of brewers who also bottle their liquors, who may sell by the dozen bottles. Retailers of liquors, with or without merchandize, are to pay double the rates now required of them, but not less than no in any case, and will not be allowed to sell in less quantities then ono gal lon. Bo ttreis of porter, ale, cider, and other brewed liquors, and manufacturers of domestic wine, may sell in quantities of not legs than one dozen bottles, without license. On Saturday last Mr. Wright from the Con ference Committee made a report of the bill as agreed upon, in the House. It was discussed by Messrs. Wright, Getz, Ilill, Whallon, .:lu gustine and Fry„ and adopted by a vote of 64 to 32 ; our representatives voting, Fry for and Craig against it. A summary of the vote shows that 47 Democrats voted for and 17 against it ; Americans, 17 voted for and 15 against it. On Monday Gov. Pollock signed the new bill, and it is now a law. The taxables iu Allentown number 1305, and will 'according to the above bill be allowed nine hotels, cutting off six of the fifteen we now have, and gives us but two eating houses.. In the County we have something over 8000 tax. ables with .128 hotels, which number trill be reduced to between 50 and GO. The annual exhibition of the pupils of this institution came (gat the Odd Fellows' hall on Thursday eveninglast. The exercises consist ed of original addresses, declamations and die. loguos, interspersed with vocal and instrumen tal music. The pieces were well selected and appropriate, and performed with mruked abili ty. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was excellent. On the whole the exercises weir highly creditable, both to the principal and the pupils. So much for the exhibition. Now we are about to notice a part that did not come under our observation as being on the programme, and that is the manner in which some youthful miscreants, scarcely out of their swaddling clothes, and half-grown boys, who ought to be better taught, behaved in the early part of the evening, by hollowing, hissing, staMping, etc. _Now this is not the first time that we have observed such shameful conduct, or we might overlook it, but on many other oc casions these disgraceful youths disturbed the audience, and disgraced the town. Boys ,you must remember that you are now forming hab its that will tell iii future days—habits that if persevered in will lead you on to do things that may cause you much sorrow and bitter regret. The Cadets of Temperance will give exhibi tions in the Odd Fellows' Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings next, April 7th and Sth. The Society has Inen engaged some time in pre paration, and we have no doubt it will prove a rare treat. It will consist of Songs, Speeches, Dialogues, ColloquieS; &c. We understand that the object of the Society is to purchaSe a library, and that the proceeds of the exhibi tions are to be devoted to that object. There fore all, who may attend, will have the satis faction of knowing that they have added their mite towards an object which is calculated to produce much good. Our young friend Enwn“:;.

From all we can learn there are great quantities in the Western depots, which will be thrown into the market as soon as the means of transportation shall fully open ; as there is also much in the hands of speculators who will be forced to sell before their payments shall be come due. Add, to these the immense quanti ties in the hands of farmers awaiting higher prices, and you have a stock of grain which, thrown into the market, must produce a great reductiOn in prices. The following little article will give sonic idea of the condition of the West in relation to the storing of grain : Cons ox 71tE Im.ixots Mt - mt.—The follow ing statement of the amount of corn in store along the Illinois River, is taken from a letter from Peru, 111. "At Peru, 124000 bushels ; at La Salle, 70,000 ; at Ottawa 200,000, and from Peru to and at Peoria, 700,000 ; in all 1,084,000 bushels at these points, from Ottawa to Peoria inclusive. There is probably in store at Lockport,t 25,000 bushels, at Morris, 100,- 000, and at Joliet, 50,00010 90,000. The pro bability is, that this quantity will be doubled before the canal is opened. There is little of any other grain in store at these ports." The Delawaro Catastrophe, The eximiination into the causes producing the destruction of the steamboat New Jersey and the loss of life attending it, is still going on before the Coronor's jury at Philadelphia. The facts seem to be entirely established that the boat was old and unsafe, its machinery in Vad order, and the boat totally unsupplied with any life saving means. Only one bucket was to be found, and.one passenger who with a foresight none of the officers or crew seemed to possess, asked for an axe in order to cut down the doors to serve'as (Wats, was told there was no such implement or hoard. One witness testifies that nothe fire progressed the passengers in advance were crowded against the chain running across • the front of the boat, and that when the latter gave way as many as twenty-five persons were at once precipitated into the river. The fire, according to the most reasonable 'supposition, originated from a back draft through the fur nace doors caused by a leak in the boiler. The fireman was required to do duty as a deck hand, and at the trim - rent the flames burst forth was not in the fireroom. According to the- tcs timony•of sonic of the witnesses, if the boat bad ! been run on the flats when tire was discovered not a life would have been lost.

Mr. Joseph Howell, Jr., was sleeping in the store at •the time, on the counter; and was awakened by the walking of a man, whom Mr. Howell describes as being masked, with ti dark lantern in one hand and a dirk knife in the other•.

The burglar then robbod Mr. Howell aids pocket-book containing 8575 and set fire to a lot of Dry Goods, on which he had fallen, after drawing a heap of combustible goods over the side of the counter, so that they should be ignited by the flames. He no doubt intended to burn down the entire store, to cre ate the impression that it had accidentally ta ken fire and that Mr. Howell had perished in the flames. Before retiring the prey ions evening, Mr. How ell had requested a carter who lived close by the Store, and who intended going to Easton ear ly next morning, to arouse him before starting, as he wanted to send this money with him. The carter went to the store between three and four o'clock and found the goods in flames and Mr. Howell nearly suffocated, with his whis kers burired off his face.

CRUPT, TREATMENT OP CIIILDREN'. —The Ravenna (Ohio) Dotorrat contains the following account of the brutal treatment of a little boy by his father, ono Thomas Lewis. Lewis is a drinking man, and a man of most furious pas sion. lie struck his boy with a barnshovel, cleaving his scalp to the skull. ile then kicked him in the mouth, rubbed his face in the snow, afterwards dragged him into the houso, swore lie would cut his head off; and made a deadly thrust at him with a butcher knife, which the boy, by a quick movement, escaped. His father then knocked him down, and left him bleeding on the floor. On a former occasion, Lewis pointed a loaded gun at the boy; and under a threat to shoot him made him climb a telegraph pole. A short time before the death of his wife, they lost a young child. While his wife was on her sick, and, as it proved, death bed, Lewis went to the grave, dug up the child, took it from the coffin, to1•e off its shroud, thrust the child into the bed ()fills dying wife, saying, with horrid imprecations, " that she might have her child if she made such a fuss about it."

It was generally rumored that the treaty of peace would be signed on Saturday. All the differences, however, have not yet been adjus ted.

It is tumorcd that the rectification of terri tory and the adjustment of other unarrangcd ditlbrences, are to be referred to CommisSioners on the spot, as the topographical details at hand are very incomplete, and the projected frontier is neither marked by stream nor iiinountain chain.

She, was com mitted to jail, but was brought before a magis trate on a writ of habeas corpus, when it ap pearing that she paid her way, and work, she was discharged from custody. The young lady gave quite a romantic history. She said she was born in New Orleans, in 1837, and when she was three years old her parents re moved to a village in .Maine. When she was fourteen, she came to Boston to live with a sis ter and was a*rwards married to an actor. Owing to ill treatment she left her husband, and went to New York, where she worked in a confectionery store. A fit of sickness having exhausted her resources, and having pawned all her clothes, at the suggestion of a man from Boston she accepted a suit of his clothes, and went to.tending bar in New York. After five months sliest behind . the bar, her husband found her out, and they joined the Providence Museum company, where she pretended to be her husband's brother. They afterwards went to the Albany Museum. Owing to ill treat ment, she again separated front her husband, and during two or three years past she has been tending bar in New York, working on steamboats on the Mississippi river, and in other kindred employments in various parts of the country. During all this time she was in male attire, and is now waiting for remittan ces in order to take the first steamer for Cali fornia.

The report was read ; and each resolution acted upon separately. As finally adopted, they are as lbßows: ' IVitEases, The freemen of Pennsylvania, op- . posed to the National Administration, are divi-f ded into political organizations holding on some questions of governmental policy divers opi nions ; yet it is believed that a large majority of the freemen of this State are agreed upon the momentous issues forced upon the country' by the repeal of the 'Missouri Compromise ; by' the undisguised policy of the National Admin istration to impose by violence and fraud Slavery upon Kansas, contrary to the wishes of a largo majority of the inhabitants ; and by its unjust, illiberal and Anti-American prefer ence in the appointment of men of foreign birth over those born upon the soil, to offices of trust and honor, as well as in the distribution of its patronage ; And Whereas, Agreement in principle is the only bond that can unite effectively honest men' in political action : Therefore, Resolved, That, animated by the spirit of concession, we will cordially unite in the sup port of the candidates to be nominated by this Convention, upon the basis of those , principles upon which_n-e are mutually agreed. Resoked, That the present National Admin istration, by the exercise of an unwarrantable' influence in the repeal of the Missouri Com-- promise, at the instance of selfish and sectional' politicians ; by the removal of honest and com petent men from Offices of honor and trust, ire order that their places might bo filled by in efficient and corrupt partizans; by refusinglo. protect the freeman of Kansas in the enjoyment of the rights designed to be secured to,them by the Constitution and laws of the United States —thereby showing itself powerful for mischief, but feeble in the maintainance of laws for the protection of the people and the honor of the country—has justly forfeited all claim to the the confidence and respect of the people of this Commonwealth. Respired, That we will use all honorable means to check the evils inflicted ulna tho country, by the urjust and sectional measures adopted by the present National Administration brought about by the exercise of its.patmn age ; that we are utterly opposed to the admis sion into the Confederacy of Slave States fornt. ed out of territory once consecrated to Free dom ; and also to the extension of Slavery into any territories of the United State now free. I?esolreti, That we cordially disapprove of the interference of foreign' influence of every kind in our civil and political affairs ; and are equally hostile to the interference of the gov ernment or people of the United States in the affairs of other nations, regarding any such interference as unwise and in conflict with the recommendation of Washington's Farewell Ad dress, which inculcates with emphatic earnest ness, the propriety of avoiding the adoption of any policy which might involve us in unprofi table and dapgerous controversies with foreign nations. Resolved, That we regard the panderings of any party to foreign influence as fraught with manifold evils to the country, threatening the stability of our institutions and endangering the morals of the people by a contact with the paupers and felons cast upon our shores from the hospitals and prisons of Europe. Resolved, That as American liberty depends for its preservation on the intelligence of the people, universal education is the first duty of the State, and that all attempts, by whomso ever made, or from whatever quarter instiga ted, to destroy such a bentlicient system by perverting it to sectarian purposes, or oppos ing its progress and extension, because it; is not the instrument of inculcating any particu lar religious creed, ought to be resisted as fraught with incalculable mischief and.eyil. Resolved, That the respect and" confidence of this Convention and the people of this Common wealth are duo to the present Chief Magistrate of the State and to the members of his Admin istration, for the integrity, purity of purpose and sterling patriotism manifested in their offi cial conduct, and we heartily commend them to the support of every citizen who values the honor and interests of the State, and can appre ciate the virtues of devoted faithful public aer vents. 0:7 - Holloway's Ointment and Pills will care any disease of tho skin of the longest standing. —William Frederick Anderson, of Yadkin .
