Final Adjournment Both branches of the State Legislature have agreed to adjourn on Tuesday, the 22nd inst. There is little business of importance now un der consideration. Tlio 'Crops Lehigh County from present indications, will produce bountiful crops. Notwithstanding the severity of the winter, we are told grain pre. Bents an universal promising appearance--es pecially where the fields have been covered with a thick covering of snow. Exchanges from Kentucky, Indiana, and Southern Ohio, also speak quite hopefully of a plentiful harvest. The Hausman Robbery,—Arrest of the Thief,— "Appearances are Deceptive." Immediately after the bold and daring rob bery of Mr. Solomon Hausman, of $OOO, at George's Hotel, in this borough, the particulars of which we gave in our last, suspicion rested i with much appearance of certainty on PENN- ROSE F. EISENBRAEN, the junior partner of the firm of Eisenbraun S. Co., manufacturers of tombstones and dealers in Marble. He Was a boarder at the same house, and although a sharp look-out was kept on his movements, nothing could be discovered until on Thursday evening, about 11 o'clock, it was found out that he intended to go to Philadelphia the fol lowing morning. Warrants for his arrest were thereupon immediately got out and placed in the hands of officers ilankey and Yingling, with instructions to arrest him at the Depot in the morning, as it was believed he would then have the money about his person, if suspicion had been correctly placed. - Officer Hankey, however, acting up to the old saying that " the early bird feeds on the worm," laid low for his object at Bachman's corner, on Market Square, where he made the arrest at about half-past five. When the officer tapped him on the shoulder he apparently took the matter as a joke, but on being taken inside the lintel, the warrant was read to him, and the officer then telling him he wanted to make a search, he be came agitated, but very willingly pulled out his pocket-book, which was examined but none of the missing money found. The officer him self then reached in the pocket and pulled out a lot of bills, tied together, which on exami nation proved to be part of the stolen mo ney—six $5O and one $lOO bill on the Reading Bank. He was thereupon taken before JOHN F. Runs, Esq., for examination, whO having paid the money over to Mr. Hausman the day previous to its being stolen, immediately recog nized it, and on telling the prisoner so, he con fessed the robbery, and commenced crying bit terly. He produced a key to a trunk in his room, tthere he said the officers could find Mr. IL's pocket-book and papers. In default of bail, ho was committed to prison until next Court. This robbery and arrest caused an unusual excitement in our midst, and although the pri soner bore a pretty good reputation heretofore, but few people sympathise with his misfortune, and it is perhaps well they do not, for the sooner our community is ridded of such a scamp, the better. It is right and proper to deal gently with the erring, and particularly so, when they are led into crime by ignorance, neglect and bad example. - But in such cases as this, where the offender is such an outs ight hypocrite, it is bad policy to show mercy. Ho enjoys an excellent education, is a master mechanic, was establish ed in a good bushiess, and had before him naught but success and prosperity. And more over, he was able to distinguish between right and wrong, about as well as the next person, as he not unfrequently,lf an opportunity offered itself, officiated as a religious mentor, ofiering prayer in behalf of those around him, Ro. " Oh, thou hypocrite, first cast the beam out of thine own eye and then thou may'st see to take the mote out of thy brother's eye."' With this garb of mock-modesty around him, he was looked upon by many with a favorable eye, but this act coming to light illustrates to them that "a , sea • • , • . " Oraham'e lag Graham's Magazine for April is on our tabl and wo must say that it still holds its own among the leading Magazines of tho day. We recommend it to those who want a good Maga zine. This number cornea richly embellished with fine engravings, and good instructive read ing. Enoourago your own Moohanics. Tithe citizens of any town do not encourage their own mechanics, that town will not be 1 prosperous. Every article that is manufactured at home should be purchased there and not abroad. If you send to other . towns for your shoes, your hats, your clothes, your furniture, &c.; when you can get these articles just as good at your own door, you are lending a hand to a system of trade, which if carried out, will prostrate your own mechanics, your own mer chants, your own schoolhouses and churches, and destroy even yourself. Whenever you purchase an article abroad, which you can have made at home just as well, you do a great wrong to your own town. You take the money which you pay for that article from your own , meehanics, and givo it to the support of mechanics residing elsewhere. You contribute to the prosperity of strangers, that which you refuse to contribute to the prosper ity of the 'town in which you live. You may . think you are putting a penny in your own pocket, but in fact you are taking several out of your neighbor's pockets, and in the end out of your own. You are not a good citizen. If you purchase at home those articles which your mechanics make as good as you can get elsewhere your mechanics will become prosper ous and wealthy. They will build churches and schoolhouses in your town ; they will edu cate their children—the social virtues will predominate, and society will become of a high order. They will bring all the late improve ments in the sciences to your door ; they will create a market for the produce of your farms ; they will change the whole character of things about them. If our citizens will pay more attention to these matters, they will soon see the.result.— Things made at home are just as servicalle as those made abroad, and we say to every man that has a piece of work to do, look about you and see if you have not a neighbor who can do it, and if you have, employ him. He will re turn the kindness, and you will soon sec the advantage•to yourself and others. A Now Mill The Allentown Water Company last week placed a strong force of men on the work of demolishing the old Mill on the other side of the Little Lehigh, on the site of which the said Com pany in tend erecting a new one, of the first class, with all the improved machinery. It is to be completed as soon as possible. Railroad Accident On Friday morning an accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, below South Eas ton, in consequence of a collission of the gravel and coal trains, by which some of the cars were thrown off the track, and two men severely in jured—one having one and the other both legs broken. The latter has since died from the effects of his injuries. Methodist Conferonco. The annual Conference of the Methodist Epis copal Church; held its sessions in Philadelphia last week. Among its proceedings we observe the following appointments in the North Phila delphia District for the ensuing year. The friends of the Rev. Mr. Hobbs will be pleased to learn that he will remain at this place an other year. North Philadelphia District.---Allentown and Bethlehem, 11. A. Hobbs ; Easton, W. Bishop ; South Easton, W. B. Wood ; Richmond, North ampton Co., E. Townsend ; Stroudsburg, J. E. Meredith ; Doylestown, Noble Frame ; New town, J. Irwin and W. Smith. Slatington, in this County, but Rending Dis trict, is not yet supplied. This Conference comprises six districts and about two hundred ministers. The number of white members of the church represented by the Conference is 40,336, being a decrease of 530 compared with the returns of last year. RD .- Within the last few months some mean, dirty, thieving rascal stole a "composing stick" out of our office, which fact was not discovered until lately. It was uMloubtedly done by a printer, and we are sorry that he does not strive to find More honorable employment for his hands and bruins, if he has any, and if he has, it is a pity that he applies them to such base purposes. We think the fellow who done it would be mean enough to steal a penny off a dead man's eyes-, and that he is in a fair - and speedy way of man ufacturing himself into a piece of furnittire for _the Penitentiary. Tho Next Agricultural Fair is to commence on the 30th of September and continue on the Ist, 2d and 3d of October. This then in our opinion,. is the very time to begin preparations therefor. If the people, and es pecially the farmers and mechanics will only bear this in mind, and conduct their business tiring the intervening time with reference to it, there is no question but the next exhibition will be as brilliant as any may dare to hope. There is scarcely a single farm in the County tn which sonic article may not be produced , hich would be worthy of exhibition, and the humblest or most delicate ,hands can prepare some useful or curious fabric to be exhibited. An Enterprising Man Our friend STOPP, in West Ilatnilton street, lately opened his new Store, and we must say that the taste and liberality displayed in its construction is worthy of credit. It is an or nament to that part of the town, and it is only a pity that some of our other merchants are so backward in such matters. Stopp however not only delights in, making a fine outside show, but also in selling cheap goods. • lle is a very pleasant gentleman to deal with, always oblig ing and trustworthy. 110 has a fine lot of goods, and with his clover assistants it in his element at present, keeping yard-stick and scis sors continually busy.

The Kansas Commitee has started for that territory with secretaries, phonographers and Sergeant at arms. It will be some months before its labors in that region will be completed. It is a no ticeable fact, also, that Mr. Oliver, of Mo., who is the champion of the Border Ruffians, started some days in advance of the other members of the Committee. Was it to prepare the Ruffians for the crisis, to • buy up witnesses, or what? It is certainly a very suspicious looking move ment until properly explained. Agricultural Meeting A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society was held at the public, house of John Y. Bechtel, in Allen town, on Saturday the 12th inst. President 11. J. Schantz, in the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted.

The committee to consult Mr. Wickes in re lation to his Black Hawk Stud Horse, report that they have consulted with him, and that he agreed to come to Allentown with said horse on the 20th of April next. Resolved, That said Committc publish said Horse at the expense of the Society. Resolved, That the Secretary send special notice to the Committee of Arrangement of their time of meeting. , Proceedings of Court Court convened on Monday the 7th of April. Charles Peter, of Washington . township, was selected foreman of the Grand Jury. A large number of criminal cases were returned to the District Attorney, but few were tried, most of them having been settled or continued to neS: sessions. The following were tried : Commonwealth is. Elias Leser.—indictment for obtaining a watch from John George Fra lich, under false pretences. It appeared the prosecutor, a young German buy of 15 years ofj age, met Leser on the public road in Weisen burg township. The boy said he wanted a 1 place to work ; Leser said he would get him a place, if he would give him his watch. The boy did so, but alleged that Leser did not get i him a place: Leger sent a watch back to the boy afterwards. which he said was the same ; but the boy rufused to take it and said it was not his watch. The evidence was conflicting somewhat as to what Leser agreed to do. Verdict guilty. Gibons and Stiles for commonwealth ; Marx for defendant. Commonwealth vs. Peter Stecker.--Indict ment for the larceny of a $5 note and a dollar in silver, the property cf Julin Mock. It ap peared Mock went to the house of Stecker, in Salisbury township, and enquired about renting a house. They went together to a,Livern near by and drank' together a few times ; Mock re 'turning with Stecker, stayed all night at his house. Early in the morning Mock missed his money, and had suspicion that Stccker stole it. Upon inquiry he found that Stecker bad pass ed the note ofl' to Daniel Ritter, in Allentown. Verdict guilty.. Sentenced to 15 days imprison ment. Stiles for commonwealth ; Forest for defendant. Commonwealth vs. Jacob Roth.—lndictment fur selling liquor to Charles Ritter, an intem perate person, &c. Roth keeps tavern in North 'Whitehall, and it was alleged sold liquor to Rit t r after notice not to do so, and that lie sold it to . Ritter when he knew he was an intemper ate person, and sold it also to him when lie was intoxicated. It was proved that Ritter was a man of intemperate habits; that Ritter gave Roth notice not to sell him liquor, and that he got liquor there when he was intoxicated.-- Roth denied the selling by himself, and alleged if ho got it, it was given to him by his bar keep er, and he also alleged Ritter was not a drun ken man. A large number of witnesses were examined. Verdict guilty. Sentenced to 10 days imprisonment and $lO fine and costs: Stiles for Comthonwealth ; Bridges for defend ant. Commonwealth vs. Henry Hoffman.—lndict ment for Peddling goods, &c. Hoffman .sold a gold finger ring to one Hower, and offered to sell him watch chains.

Recognizance forfeited. Tho argument lists were disposed of, and the court adjourned on Thursday. 4111 IN Congress. Railroad Law In a trial at Harrisburg, in the case of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, sued for inju ries sustained by a person who ran his wagon in the way of a coming train, the Court charg— ed that if by the Exercise of ordinary skill and care the plaintiff could have avoided the injury he received, or if his conduct contributed ..to produce it, he is not entitled to recover, even though the defendant was also guilty of negli : gencp., Whilst it is right and proper for the Company to give warning at the crossings of the approach of a train, it is also the duty of a traveller to use proper caution before attempt ing to cross the track. This is a good law, and good sound common sense. Carefulness in in dividunls travelling in the vicinity of railroads is jest as necessary as in the employees of the Company. It is not the property of a railroad only which is liable to injury by an individual driving across a track in front of the train, but the life of every passenger is involved. There fore, the public policy is to condemn careless ness in every quarter liable to produce such mischief, and not let it take advantage of its own wrong, by giving it damages for injuries partly of its own causing. Emigrants for Balsas A company of one hundred snd thirty per sons from the States of South Carolina, Georgia! and Alabama, are en route to Kansas. On the 3d inst., they experienced at Columbus, Ga., a military reception, speeches, &c., and on the! 4th they departed by railroad, the company having given them a free passage. Apropos of Kansas ailltirs, we observe that at ; a recent Kansas meeting in Columbia, S. C. letters were read from Atchison, saying. among other things, " it is understood by all parties, that the fight will begin in the Spring ; that he had at any moment the power to bring I about a civil war ; that their organization is complete ; that they have taken steps to pro- vidp for those who come into the Territory without means of support." Mr. Tradewell made the principal speech, and regarded the Kansas quarrel as the most hopeful means of bringing about the dissolution of the Union, which he avowed was his object, as he believed I it to be Mr. Atchison's ; but he said : " There is no chance on the earth for the South when it comes to votes. The only chance is to assist Gen. Atchison in the way of men and means for fighting. If there is not a fight before the meeting of the Convention, to, prepare a constitution for 'Kansas, the Union will be preserved." A Long Train A train of about fifty cars loaded with coal passed over the Lehigh Valley Railroad down from the mines on Friday. They are.driving a pretty heavy business in coal over the Lehigh Valley Road at present—as much as can be done, with a single track, which is all they have. When canal navigation opens, the coal business, which can then be carried on by rail road and canal, will be very extensive. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, will no doubt, before long, find it necessary to lay an other track, so as to be able to meet the increas ed demands which doubtless will be made for coal from the mines in this section of country. We expect a busy summer for coal transpor ters. A branch from the Railroad, at the cast end of the bridge over the Delaware, at this place, is now being laid around the bluff of Philipsburg, which, when finished, will enable them to carry coal to a point on the Morris Canal where boats can be loaded with the great est ease and convenience. The distance from where the branch track leads off from the main road to where Morris Carnal boats arc supplied is only about a quarter of a mile.--Easton WIZ Fire nt Philqdelphia A destructive fire occurred at Philadelphia early on Friday morning,. It broke out in the upper part of the Artisans' building, a vast es tablishment, five stories in height, forming a hollow Frynare in the rear of Chestnut and Fourth streets, occupied by various branches of man ufacture, which, together with nearly 'all the contents, was entirely destroyed. Every par• of the building was tenanted by workshops, with valuable machinery driven by an eighty horse_power engine in the basement. The rear o} the United States Hotel oa .Chestnut street 'adjoined the building, and its destruc tion seemed inevitable. The boarders took alarm and fled for safety, but the damage to the building from fire was very slight. It was, however, flooded with water. The Artisans' Building was occupied by Safnuel Aikens, electro plUte guilder ; P. S. Duval, lithographer ; George 1 teppard, jewel ler ; Gaskill, bookbinder ; Nathan E Morgan, spectacle•maker ; 0. W. Simmons, pencil-case maker ; Messrs. Kite & Walton, book printers, and others. The entire loss is stated at 5250,000. The loss of Mr. Duval alone is stated at nearly one half die amount. lle had forty steam presses and an immense stock of stones, &c., including the lithographs of Commodore Perry'S japan Expedition for the government, and plates worth 510,000, all complete and ready to sent off. • [a'S'ilocKlNG Occunamen.--On last Thurs day night, about 10 o'clock, a man went to Mr. Oberhaltz's,, in Warwick township, Lan- Taster county, Pa., knocked at his bed room window, and calling him by his name, deman ded fifty dollars of money in a hurry, or ho would set Mr. O's house anti barn on fire. Mr. 0. did not do as requested, and the barn was soon all in flames. It contained forty-sev en head of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs. Not one head was saved. The family did not dare to go out to Save their stock on_account of the • burglars. A man, after the fire was over, was found under the foreshot of the barn, burned so badly that ho could not be recognized. How he came there nobody knowq.Lancaster paper. A Shocking Soono in the Wost We have already alluded to the murder of Captain E. Stevens, of the Ohio Belle, by a man named Jones. Tho Memphis News gives the sequel to this terrible tragedy, Tho details are truly awful, and well calculated to cause a thrill of horror. Such atrocities cannot but damage the national reputation, and induce the belief that in some portions of the Union mad ness rules the hour. The News, alluding to Jones, the alleged murderer, says : lie was taken abaft the shift and lashed to a stancheon, commencing with the rope at his feet, and winding it around his body in contin uous folds until it reached his neck where it was drawn very tight. It was then' passed around his head and across his mouth so tight that it stretched the corners of his mouth back considerably, cutting them so that the blood ran down his jaws ; and leaving him in the greatest agony. A lady, hearing of the manner in which he was being treated, went below, and begged them, for Coda sake, not to treat a human being in such a manner. At her solici tation he was released, and bound fast in an arm-chair, and the chair bound to the stancheon by a dillerent rope. In this situation he was i left. In the mean-time a cabin passenger was making himself conspicuous by boasting that in California he had helped to hang over fifty per sons—that he had hung men for as low as five , dollars—and if they would give him a chance • he " would soon dispose of that scoundrel." A short time afterwards this " hangman extra ordinary" and a friend were missing, and soon after our informant heard a splash. lie and SOITIC, other passenger then went below to see the prisoner, but when they had gone aft they found the rope that bound the chair cut, and the man and chair both gone.. His fate can well be imagined. While hound in the chair he.acknowledged that' he had:done wrong, and said that all he wanted was to be placed ,in jail and allowed a fair trial, and if the law hung him he was willing to die. lie said he was the son of a planter, living near Raleigh in .this State, and that he 'had been forced to leave home on account of a warrent having been issu ed for his arrest for having threatened to shoot a man. Thus has ended a double tragedy. the primary cause of which may be attributed to An Unfortunate Traveler A Mr. Watson. of St. Louis, commenced an unfortunate career of railroad travel last sum mer, at the time of the Gasconade disaster, at which time he nearly lost his life. Scarcely had he recovered from the injuries then receiv• ed, when he again narrowly escaped death, from an accident which occurred to the train while he was coming east. He was laid up some months at the ( tirard House, Philadelphia, on account of the injuries received. As soon as sufficiently recovered, he took passage for Pittsburg. Some gentlemen who intended to go in the same direction, purposely delayed their departure, in order to avoid participating in his apprehended misfortunes. But as it sin gularly occurred, Mr. Watson's train met with an accident after proceeding a few miles, slight indeed, but sufficient to detain the train for several hours ; and before arriving at Harris , burg, a second accident occurred, with a deter) : lion of twenty-four hours. In the meantime. the cautious gentlemen before alluded to, pur suing their journey, overtook Mr. W., and un willingly got on the same, train, for Pittsburg. Before reaching its destination, however, the fated train was thrown entirely from the track by the breaking of a wheel. The passengers alighted, and greatly to their consternation, found that Mr. W. (Jonah) was' on board. Thereupon the whole company became greatly exasperated, and respectfully informed the con ; dilator that it would be utterly impossible to proceed in his company. Our informant states that Mr. W. has succeeded in reaching Pittsburg and is recovering from his contusions, at the Monongahela House. Mr. W. declares that, once more at hoino, he will remain 'there.—X. Journal. Tax I'ROSPECT;3 ur• WA Mint- —The New York Daily Courier says that private accounts brought by passengers, repreScnt that there has been great mortality among the recruits of I Gen. Walker's army, who went from the north ern part of the 'United States. Many die daily.' while those who survive are emaciated and en feebled to a sad degree. Numbers are without' boots and shoes, and other comfortable cloth ing. The officers try to keep up appearances and their 'own courage ; but 'the privates si•e quite dispirited, and complain loudly. They are unable to get their pay. 'Walker presses) men into his service for the slightest pretext. It is also stated that the Costa Rica army is officered by English and Irish-who have seen service, and includes many European troops.—' Nevertheless, the adherents of Walker were confident of his success over his enemies. Tho appearance of his troops Was not such as to in duce impartial minds to share this confidence. It was thought ho must be driven from the country. The natives of Nicaragua were held in strict suhjection, but did not conceal their hatred of Walker and his followers.. 1:0 --- GrrrA PuncutA.--Among the latest and most valuable uses to which gutta percha has been successfully applied is for dental purposes, replacing metal 'in putting in sets or parts of sets of teeth. Instead of gold or silver plate, gutta percha is used and found to work well, being Of an elastic nature and fitting more rea dily to the mouth and gum, working its way up as the gum recedes. FURTHER NEWS.—Costa Rica, having no de sire to bo .ruled by a filibuster, as Nicaragua now is, has declared war upon. the latter gov ernment. Walker has mustered his forces, about six hundred men, and marched against his new enemy. This is rather a small army to effect much, and as the steamers have stop ped running to Nicaragua, the.chances of any accessions to his numbers aro not promising. The Chemistry of Food Liebig hasbeen lecturing recently at Munich, the capitol of Bavaria, upon the chemistry of food. A correspondent of the New York Tri bune furnishes the following abstract of veiws of the great chemist in regard to the particular merits of beer ; Beer is worthless for the formation of blood; it is of value only to support respiration and warmth. The nitrogen portion of the barley becomes soluble in brewing, passes off in the sweet beer, and - is separated partly.by boiling and partly by fomentation. A little of the dregs remain; the brewer makes it as little as possible, or else the bear sours. A chemist at Munich eleven years ago asserted that our brown beer contained gum, two grains to the quart. Throwing out of account the nitrogen which appears in beer in the form of ammoni a cal salts, and, estimating only that which is present as gum, a man who drinks eleven pints per day would get no more gum in a whole i year than a five pound loaf of bread furnishes. Beer serves to make people fat who aro thin in flesh, it has the same effect as starch in bread. It has its value in supplying. warmth, but not in the formation of blood. It has its use also as a means of enjoyment and as a stimulant to. I the nerves ; but that does not come into the I account of chemistry ; chemically the 'use of meat may be recommended with bread instead of bcer. Liebig, intimated in conclusion, that the host proportions of food for use were one of nitrogen to three of carbon--the proportions in women's milk. TRE NEW YORK TRIRUNE.—This well known establishment now issues three distinct papers, namely, the Dnily, Semi-Weekly and the Weekly. The combined circulation is said to be shout .220,000, of which, the weekly contri butes the largest figure, being about IGO,OOO. It circulates all over the country, but most largely in New England, New York, Northern Pennsylvania and in the Western States. The proprietors formerly charged 50 cents per line for advertisements in the weekly for every in sertion, without regard to the length of adver tisement. Some time ago, finding that advertise ments were pressing upon them, they raised the price to 75 cents per line, and even at this rate they found it necessary, last week to an nounce that they have raised the price to ono dollar for ealh line, that they prefer Short cards to long ones, and would be glad if the enhance ment would impel their patrons to study brevi ty in their announcements. A " FAST" YOUTlL—Special officer Cal lahan last evening received a telegraphic dis patch from a Mr. Lippincott, at Easton, stating that n boy named Jacob Crouse, had stolen one hundred and seventy-five dollars, and started in the cars to this city. Mr. Callahan repaired to Walnut street wharf, and reached there jnst in time to take into custody the youth referred to. The prisoner is a rustic looking shaver, twelve y cars of age, who was evidently fixed up for tt .spree. Upon searching his pocket', a wallet containing two hundred and forty4wo dollars was found—a pretty substantial looking "pile' for so young a poSsessor. The youngster did not seem at all disconcerted at finding himself in custody, and evinced much shrewdness by professing to know nothing when questioned concerning the money and his movements in respect to it.

As Tmstexsu Cia.ktx WAIIIIIIOUSE.—The MM. moth grain warehouse on the grounds of the Illinois Central Railroad depot at Chicago, is now nearly completed. On Monday the 31st inst., the first grain was received into it and el evated. The building is 206 feet long, 102 feet wide, and 105 from the grolind to the comb of the roof. its present capacity for grain above the first story, which is .fourteen feet high, is 050,000 lyushel, and if desired, the bins can be run still higher, increasing their capacity to 700.000 bushels. The bins arc 153 in number, and foil.y-six feet deep. There are eleven sets of elevators to take grain from the cars, and distribute it over the building. The engine which drives the elevators is of ono hundred horse power. The building was erected by Messrs. Sturges, Buckingham 8: Co., at an expense of nearly, $160.000.

It is a great saving of time, labor and expense. It enables us to dispense with the services and annoyance of a number of boys, that were hitherto required to fold our paper. The folding is done more neat ly, accurately, and with greater uniformity than it can be done by hands. The machine is compact, simple, and substantially made.
