AGRICL7LWRAL FAIR. —The next Agricultural Fair and Cattle Show at Nazareth will be held on Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, October the 4th, sth and 6th. FLOUR CORING DOWN Could you have believed last December that flour in April, would be quoted at a fraction under six dollars a barrel, as it now is in New York Yet this thing has come to pass, and the probabilities aro that flour, breadstuffs, and provisions of all kinds, will continue to come down for the balance of the year. The bulk of our prodigious crops of last year still remains in the interior. In addition to this, our far mers, last fall, considering the prospect of a long war in Europe and of still upward prices for breadstuffs, put in an immense breadth of sand for the coming harvest. Should this har vest, therefore, be an average one per acre, the aggregate yield will swell our existing surplus to an incredible amount; but should it, he a harvest like that of last year, bread and meat will be cheap and plentiful beyond all anticipa tions. Change of Landlords Our young friend 'WALTER P. KRAMER., has lately become " mine host" of the " Gap House," at the Lehigh Gap, Carbon county, kept for many yetirs by Thomas Craig. Those who have never been to the Gap will find it worthy a visit, especially during the hot summer days. The romantic scenery surrounding is beautiful in the extreme. The public will find Mr. K. an accommodating and generous land lord, and his house a " home" where creature comforts liberally abound. Mneungio Institute Several prominent individuals id Millerstown. this county, have for some time been moving for the location of a High School, under the above name, in their midst, and it is now cer tain that their efforts will be crowned with success. It is to be a stock concern, the shares being nearly all sold. The building is to be commenced forthwith. May the enterprise meet the most sanguine expectations of its pro jectors. NEWSPAPER READERS How endless is the variety of newspaper readers, and how hard is it to satisfy their wants. Mr. A believes he shall discontinue his paper because it contains rig political news —and B is decidedly of opinion that the same sheet dabbles too freely in the political move ments of the day. C. does not take it because it is all on one side—and D does not like it be cause it is not severe enough upon the opposi•. tion. E thinks it does not pay due attention to fashionable literature—and F cannot bear the flimsy notions of idle writers. G . will not suffer a paper to lie upon his table which ven tures an opinion against slavery—and II never patronises one that lacks moral .courage to ex pose the evils of the day. I declares lie does not want a paper filled with the hodge-blodge proceedings and doings of congress and the leg islature—and J considers that paper the best which gives the greatest quantity of such•pro ceedings. K patronises papers for the light and lively reading which they contain—and L wonders that the press does not publish Dew ey's sermons, and such other " solid matter." M will not even read a paper that does not ex pose the evils of sectaiianisin —and INF is deci dedly of the opinion that the pulpit, and not the press, should meddle with religious dogmas. 0 likes to rend police reports—and P whose appetite is less morbid, would not have the pa per in which these silly reports are printed, in his house. Q likes anecdotes-4t won't take a paper that publishes them. S says that mur ders and dreadful accidents ought not to be put in the papers—and T complains that his misera ble paper gaPe no account of the great rob bery last week. U says the type is too small —and V thinks it is 100 large. W stops his paper because it contains nothing but adver tisements—and all that X wants of it is to see what is for sale. Y will not take the paper un less it is left at his door before sunrise--and Z declares ho will not pay for it, if left so early that it is stolen from his domicil before he is up. And last of all, come the compliments of some of the ladies, who declare the paper is not 'interesting, because it does not each week contain a list of marriages—just as if it were possible for poor printers to many people, whether the parties will or not. Applicaciono for Liconso In another column we publish the hit of ap plicants for license under the new law. The number of applicants for Hotels is 107, anil fur Restaurants 2G. Of the number of Hotel ap plicants, however, nearly one-half will have to be disilppointed. The number of taxables in the County is estimated to be near 8,000, and as the law' authorizes but one tavern to every 150, taxables, not more than between 50 and GO will be granted. Under the old law we had in the County 128 taverns. A misapprehen sion exists is to the manner in which taverns will be apportioned among the several districkii —the supposition being that each district will be allowed the number its taxables entitle it to. But this is a mistake. The aggregate of taxa bles in the whole county is the basis on which they will be granted, and the apportionment will be made among the districts at the discre thin of A° Court,. as the wants of the several neighborhoods' seem . to require. PEACE IN EUROPE. The last . steamer from Europe brings fife wel come announcement that the treaty of peace has been signed. The predise terms of the treaty will not be known until its ratification, which will not take place for four weeks from the time it recieved its signature. From European kat terd published in our New York exchanges, c -) e see that they arc no secret, but are in substance, as follows :—Russia is to destroy all her forti fications on the coast of the Black Sea, which is to become a commercial sea, with consuls in its ports. The Danubian Principalities are to be newly organized, so as to form on the land side a barrier against Russian encroachments. Russia renounces all pretensions to interfere in the internal administration of Turey, which latter is to enter into the great family of nations. The Emperor Alexander declares solemnly that he renounces sincerely and completely the tra ditional policy of Peter the Great and the Em prers Catherine, as regards the extension of the Russian empire in the East. The free naviga tion of the Danube is expressly secured ; Can dia , Trebizonde and Smyrna are to be taken possession of by the Allies, and the immunities and privileges of the Christian subjects of the Porte are to be placed under their guarantee. Such are the leading stipulationi of this import ant document. The news of peace was recieved in England and France, as a general thing, with great re joicing. The war has been a costly one from the first, and the belligerents have for some time been tired of it, so that it was no bard mdtter for the diplomatists to patch up a trea ty. The only opposition apparently came from England. As the facts stand,Russia has gained territory in Asia, and the Allies have gained territory in the Crimea; Russia has lost her fleet, her arsenals, her seaport at Sebastopol, and forts in the Baltic ; against these losses no equivalent injuries suffered by the Allies can be set. The war closes an interesting chapter in the annals of Europe. The events of Alma, Inker mann and the memorable siege of Sebastopol will long figure upon the historical pogo ; and it is deeply to be regretted that so profuse an expenditure of blood and treasure, and spchex hibitions of valor and military skill were attend ed with results so barren of good to mankind. Two years ago, when the war commenced, the hopes of the oppressed nationalities in Europe beat high that its termination would see them free and independent ; but. alas ! the chains of despotism bind them tighter than ever. Bring out tho Mud-Scows During the late rainy spell, and especially on Sunday, we heard numerous complaints in Iregard to the disgraceful condition' of the pave ments in Hamilton street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, and in fact it is no wonder, as " easy locotnntion" is indeed a difficult matter in that locality. Mud has accumulated on them to the depth of two or three inches. Last winter if memory serves us, the worthy town council took into consideration the welfare of our people, and passed an ordinance, to be Jiff ere,. binding and in force, that the sidewalks should be kept clear of mud, etc., by the owners or occupants, and that in any case where the pro visions of the said ordinance were not complied with, within three hours after such accumula tion, the High Constable or Police should lodge complaint with the Burgess, and the tinnier fined one dollar, with all costs, for each and every day that the provisions of said ordinance were not complied with. Wonder if our ofil cers are not aware that this ordinance is in existence, or whether they are afraid to do their duty. • Serious Accident from Firo-Arms On Sunday afternoon last an accident of a serious nature • occurred in Upper Macungie township, by which a boy named JAMES aged about fifteen years, had his left hand blown oft: He was playing With n loaded pistol, which by some accident exploded, the whole charge going through his hand. It is thought it will have to be amputated. To Printers For the last six months we have published, like many of our exchanges still do, an advert -tisement known as Dr. L. B. Wright's" Li quid Cathartic." As per contract, for, semi annual payment, we forwarded two.or three bills, but were never even honored with an answer. All we have to say about th'e / matter is, that if the medicine is as slow in Olt:ding the cures its prof rietor boasts of, as is the com ing forth of the advertising pay, we would not like to give it a trial, as it is quite likely we would have to use it until about three days after the resurrection.

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, APRIL 23, 1856. Iu consequence of Court our streets were well thronged with country people during last week; and our merchants of course done a heavy busi ness. Nearly all of them have received their 'spring and summer goods, and make great dis • plays of pretty things in their show-windows and in trent of respective places of business to attract attention. • They all, wear smiling faces, bow with unusual grace, walk with their heads up, and carry their pockets full of cash. Good ! We like •to see industry and enter prize rewarded, end meet the bright and cheer ful face, that seems to say for its owner, : " lie is easy in his boots." How differently when business is dull. Every man you meet looks " trouble," says " nzoney," and leaves off his Strut, his smiles, and his graceful bows. PROVIDE FOR TM BIRDS Early and late, we aro greeted with the mer rynotes of the birds, who herald the approach of mild weather and a season of flowers and fruits. How pleasant and agreeable aro the songs of the Spring birds. Their warblings electrify the youthful and reanimate the aged. There are few who object to cultivating an in timate acquaintance with the birds ; to having them nest, sing, chatter, rear their young, prey upon the worms and bugs, in orchard, garden and. shrubberies. Invite them by putting up small bird-houses, and furnish them facilities for nesting. Any kind of a small box or keg will attract the wrens, and in all the featl!ered family there is no more sociable singing and chattering summer companion. Bring them near your bedroom, and their voices will be mingled with the healthful morning air that enters its casement. The Great StorM Although we were visited hereabouts by a violent gale of wind on Saturday evening, the. 12th inst., which done some damage in blowing down sheds, fences, &c., we escaped with trif ling injury compared with that occasioned by it in Philadelphia, and in the counties of Ijerks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware, and in portions of the States of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. In Philadelphia and the sub urbs, several hundred houses were unroofed and otherwise damaged, and some buildings entirely blown down, causing serious bodily injury to several I , CTFOIIS. and a damage of not, less than F,itloo,ooo. Near Elkton, Md., a Mrs Woltham and a man named Walker, a Pennsylvanian, were killed during the gale, and at various places in this State where the blow prevailed, persons were seriou:;ly injured. The total destruction of property by the hurri cane will not fall below half a million of dol lars. The gale was experienced here ; but, n to that destructive degree which A . its Course over the extreme south-eastern counties of the State.

Schuylkill Lore, mown om Very nearly ail the prin cipal bridges over the Schuylkill between Polls. vine and'Philadtlphia suffered to sonic extent. The cause of the unusual blow is explained as follows . The high winds which usually prevail in March, come and may be expected to prevail this year in April, caused by the long contin uance of the snow on the ground. These winds are doubtless owing to the heated atmos phere of the south, causing a vacuum which brings the cold winds front the snow clad hills and mountains of the North West. On Satur day a powerful current drove the heated tem perature from the South along the surface of the eat tit to this latitude, causing the cold winds of the north to rush impetuously south wards. 'When these currents came together, the healed air upon the principles of gravita tion would rise, being lighter, and the cold cur rents froni above, would tend downwards. These diverse currents would form whirlwinds. and otherwise produce a general agitation and tumult of the elements—a general battle of the winds—of the hot air and the cold air. fig Figures. • Senator James in his new Tariff bill gives us the following statistics By the census of 1850, it appears that the amount of capital invested in the nianufactures of cotton, wool, and iron only was but a frac tion less than $150,000 ; 000. The raw mate rials consumed by those three cost over $87,- 000,000 per annum. Their combined product is estimated at $100,000.000. Thus, we have nearly $75,000,000, by means of those three branches alone added mostly by labor to the wealth of the country, even though the propri etors should gain nothing by their business.— Again, these branches alone employ nearly two hundred thousand persons. • The entire amount of capital employed in all the various branches is set down at $530,000,000 while the num ber of persons employed exceeds a million. The raw material consumed is estimated at $550,- 000,000 per annum, and the value* the anim al product at $1,000,000,000. This exhibit shows an annual absolute creation of wealth in our country from these sources of more than $450,000,000. The Central American War.

Reese for plaintiff; Bridges and Runk for de fendant: llelfrich vs. Stem.—ln March, 1846; David Stern, at that time Sheriff of this County, by virtue of a writ of execution from the Orphan's Court of 13erks county, levied upon and sold a stock of store goods, in a store carried on by the plaintiff, as the property of Daniel Helfrich, notwithstanding a notice to desist from Jacob S. Helfrich, who claimed the ownership of the store-goods by virtue of a sale made to him on the Gth of March, 1846, by his father, Daniel Helfrich. Thereupon Jacob S. Helfrich brought an action of trespass for the recovery of dama ges for this alleged infraction of his right of property, which action was tried at May term, 1848. The grounds of defence relied upon by defendant, were that the sale to Jacob S. Helfrich by his father was fraudulent, and for the purpose of defeating, delaying and hinder ing his creditors, and therefore inoperative as to them,—that a part of the consideration was ausbehald' for the maintenance of Daniel Ilclfrielt and his family during life, and that the . sale was further tainted with fraud by a con tempo•aneous conveyance, to Jacob, of The sto•e•stand of Daniel Helfrich, whilst the latter was overburdened with debt. The plaintiff re butted these allegations by averring that the consideration was valid, that he had assumed the payment of his falhcles debts, and that the ausbehald' or reservation was made from a motive of filial duty, and was not part consid eration for the sale. A verdict was rendered fur the defendant. Upon an appeal therefrom, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment, and awarded a new trial, which was had last week. After bitting five days, the jury rendered a ver diet, last Monday evening, giving the plaintiff ;..' , 500 damages.

The race was four mile heats for :: , ;800. The Pharsalia course-is said to be a :low one, and the track was heavier than usual on the day of the race. The new horse Pryor won the lace, and the public would like to see Lim matched against Leiington, the great c:anpetitor of Le comte. This is not 'ikely to happen, as Pryor is owned by Mr. Ten Broock, the owner of Lex ington.

The Baltic brings the news that peace was signed at Paris on Sunday, the 30th of March The event was announced in - Paris and London by salvos of artillery. Paris was illuminated, and in England the church bells Were pealed. Three or four weeks must elapse ere ratifica tions of the treaty can be exchanged. Details of adjustment are referred to a commission.— The great event of peace has swallowed up all minor subject of news. • The official announcement that the treaty of peace has at last been executed will be received with almost universal satisfaction, although with little emotion and no surprise. From the. time when the propositions for peace were first suggested, up to the time when the formal trea ty was signed, scarcely any one, who gravely reflected.on the matter, entertained much doubt as to what the issue would be. Lord Palmerston assures us, in his ministe- F lira capacity,. and with a full knowledge of what the terms of peace really are, " that his conviction is that the treaty which has just been concluded will be deemed satisfactory by this country and by Eurbpe ; that by the stipulation of the treaty the integrity and independence of the Turkish Empire—that is to say, the sole ob ject of the war L-will be secured, as far as hu man arrangements can effect that purpose : that the treaty is honorable to all Powers who are contracting parties to it; and that he (Lord Palmerston) trusts that while, on the one hand, it has put an end to a war which every friend of humanity. must naturally have wished to see concluded, it will, on the other, lay the founda lion of a lasting and enduring peace. Accompanying this assurance of the Premier, we may recognise the first fruits of peace in the general news of the day. The ,Bank of France has already reduced the rate of discount from six to five per cent, and the Bank of England is reported to be about to make a similar re duction. The accounts from the trading and manufacturing districts are also satisfactory. The plenipotentiaries in signing the treaty of peace made use of a silver-gilt inkstand special ly ordered for the occasion. The inkstand is decorated in the style of the first empire, and cost not less than 11,000 f. The prevailing feeling in England is one of satisfaction, but the anti-peace party arc very, indignant, even before the terms of the treaty are known. The London Su,t, one of their or gans, appears in a deep black border on the margin. At Paris joy is universal. The Lan don Times, in a leader, gives a slap at the United States, whilst joining chorus .in the general rejoicing. It says : All Europe is now resounding with the grate full notes of peace. Every State rejoices in the event which secures •• the integrity and hide- pendeneo" of a weak people against the schemes of a powerful neighbor.

Little stumpy noses among men are rare .in the higher races, and, when they occur, seldom fail to indicate weakness of mind, or imperfect moral development. • If they aro short and thick, wo may safely presume a strong sensual disposition. A tur'ned•up nose, with wide-open nostrils, is a surciy discovering sign of empty, pompous vanity. A large, strongly -marked nose, is rare in the fairer sex, and where found, is a sure sign of masculine temper, or undue development of the less refined sensations. Great, general leanness, the excessive use of snuff and the frequent touch of the finger in deep meditation, may reduce a nose to a pitiful shad ow, and give it a most marvellous sharpness. When' coupled with pale, prim lips, such a nose is a certain warning against the narrow mind that dwells within, or speaks of a melancholy temper. Faces of far famed beauty, in art or in life, show mostly .a nose approaching the 9reek ideal, which, perfect as it is theory, still does not convey to us the feoling we most prise, of a highly deyeloped mind and vigorous character. It may please the senses, but it cannot contain. the heart.
