American Hotel, Mauch Chunk. Our young friend "IX M. KRAUSE, formerly of this place, has lately taken the American Ho tel, at Muck Chunk. " Dave" is " posted up" in hotellteeping,—always clever and ac commodating, and will undoubtedly make his house popular. ~:,,,i As the population of our town increases, new business places spring into existence to' keel') up with the pace of time, and satisfy the increased demands. Several new Stores were Ij opened in town this Spring,. and it seems they arc all receiving their full share of public favor. The dry goods men make the gayestand most enticing display, and their windows are dressed up with most attractive samples of the rich and tastefnl fabi ics which are piled up on their counters and shelves in the greatest variety and abundance. We notice, too, a fine display of exceedingly rich and splendid clothing at differ ent stores, of the newest styles and larest spring patterns. We are pleased to see signs indicat ing the increase of trade in town, and we hope every house doing business -will be sustained handsomely. Daguerreotypes. The other day we stopped in to see the new ; Daguerreotype Gallery of Stemmer & Weiss, in ; Hamilton street. They have some very fine specimens of their skill in the art on hand, and are ever ready to show them to visitors.

The grounds of the Allentown Cemetery just now present a beautiful appearance. The ' other day we spent an hour or so in this:" city of the dead," and surely their abode seemed al ; most preferable to that of the living. hero no care or toil diSturbs their sweet repose. The ; numerous beautiful monuments stiidded;around the grounds to serve as mementoes of the de parted, with a profusion of trees, shrubs and Hewers; render it beautiful in the extreme. It seems as if ono would never tire in lingering amid its quiet scenes. The song of birds seems hushed to an unusual mournful sweetness, as if impressed with the sacredness of the spot. After we left this place we entered the old burying ground near by. Upon coming within this sacred enclosure, where so many hundred " sleep their last sleep," where so often has been breathed out the sigh, and dropped the tear of anguish over Father, 'Mother, Unhand, Wife, Children, Brother or Sister, we at once saw that everything was yielding under the tooth of time. The enclosure is getting rickety ; numerous head and foot: stones are lying down and leaning over, and grass and briars grow unmolested. Something ought to be :done to keep this sacred spot in proper order. _ . ."'AIII.

The Padre has presented his credentials, been introduced to the President, and received the usual honors. It is thought that this is the be ginning of serious complications in our foreign affairs. The Kansas Invest gat ion The Committee apointed by Congress to go to Kansas and investigate the matter - in dispute between Gov. Reeder and Gen. Whitfield as to who is entitled to a seat in Congress, have com menced their investigations at .the town of Lawrence, and at last accounts had examined nineteen witnesses. The general tenor of their evidence is to•the effect that hundreds of armed men have crossed from Missouri into Kansas at every election and voted, and the , eby imposed upon the people of that territory legislators and officers who were not their choice. Mr. Jordan Davidson, the first witness who was examined before this Committee, testified that he was a member of a secret Society formed in Missouri, the express o f of which was to make Kan sas a Slave State—and that he had reason to be lieve that it existed also in other Southern States—in Virginia, in Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas. Ile came from Missouri to Kan sas to vote—Was sworn in on the spot as one of the officers of election ; and knew of many others who came from Missouri and voted. ; The investigation will probably occupy many days.
