On Saturday next the scholars and teachers of tho German Reformed Sunday School intend celebrating the day in pic Me style, in Eber bard's woods, on the banks of Trout creek. A large attenda - nce and a still larger amount of pleasure is anticipated. The school is attended by about 270 scholars. Plc Nlc. The season for picnics and social gatherings is now at hand. On Tuesday of last week a party of young folks had intended to spend the day on Gangwere's Island, but owing to the rainy state of the weather, the idea of going there had to be abandoned. However, as all the ladies were well provided with " creature comforts" for themselves and their next best friends, it could not well be postponed, and they there• upon repaired to Centre hall, on the Fair Grounds, and there enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content during the day, in all the various ways appertaining to pic•uics, which Major Elbow says, includejtimping ! dancing, courting, kissing, hugging, eating, drinking, swinging, cooking, mud dabbling and sun• dry other things too numerous to mention end ing in " ing." The party returned to town in the evening well pleased with the pleasures of the day. A111103111,T During the late.dry spell some of the farmers along the route of the Lehigh Valley Railroad sustained pretty serieusdaninges in consequence of the sparks from the Locomotives setting lire to the crops Alongside the track. Wo learn that the other day the uncut wheat in a four acre field between Bethlehem and ]'reemans burg was set on fire in this way and entirely destroyed. Between this place and Mauch Chunk the sparks also set fire to several hay fields, and in each case the entire crop was consumed. Accommodation Train. The Raifroad company runs an accommoda tion train as far as this place, during the sum mer arrangement, every Saturday evening, leaving Easton upon the arrival of the trains from the cities. The regular summer nrrangemenis, however, aro not very satisfactory, because there is no train to connect with the afternoon &Ails from the cities, and consequently passengers living beyond Easton arc compelled to stop over night at that place. This can be avoided by leaving the cities in the morning trains. Good Will Elie Cu. A stated meeting of Good Will Fire Co., No. 3, was held at their house, corner of Eighth and Maple streets, on Friday evening last.

Mr. PETER WEAN' RR, a son or Tobias Weaver, residing near the Saucon Chnrch, in Lower San con township, met with a fatal accident on Tuesday of last week. Ile was at work in a harve.4t-fleld with a Reaping Machine', and one of the horses becoming..unmanageable, he. en• deavored to quiet him by patting him on the side, when he unexpectedly gave him a kick on one of his legs and broke it ; which caused him to fall forward, when the horse gave him ano ther kick. on the breast, which injured him so severely that he died shortly thereafter. Mr. W. was about 37 years of age, much respected by his neighbors, and leaves a family. Struck by Lightning. • During the thunder storm on the night of the 3d inst., the barn of Mr. Fittnuant Ft.onEs, in Upper Milford township, was struck by light ning and entirely destroyed by fire, together with his entire hay crop of the present season, farming implements, &c. The building was insured. Explosion of a Fluid. Lanip. It is surprising that we still have people among us, who, after the repeated newspaper. warnings, recklessly persist is following the dangerous practice of filling up fluid or cam tiheno lamps while they are lighted. An acci dent of this kind occurred in North Eighth street on Thursday evening last. The wife of Mr. 11. Smith, although heedlessly remonstrated with by her husband, attempted to fill a lamp while burning, when, as might naturally be ex- pected, the fluid ignited and exploded, scatter ing the blazing contents all over the room, and burning Mrs. S. slightly. With the aid of ! some of the neighbors the• fire was soon smothered. Such culpable practices frequently bring about fatal results, and we trust that 1 this accident may prove a warning.to all who] follow them. 10 - The Presidential election this veer will take.place on Tuesday, the dth day of Novem ber. Grasshoppers.—A. Remarkable Phenomenon. CATASAUQIIA, duly oth, 1850, These insects made their appearance in this neighborhood about a week ago and have fear fully multiplied themselves since. They are confined in their ravages to a certain district. They begin to be discovered on the cast side of Catasauqua and extend in a north-eastern di• rection over a district about three miles in length and about lmelf a Mile wide. The space over which they are thus spread, is not only a singular curiosity to behold, but` is a serious loss to the owners of the crops. A person can scarcely imagine what actual depredations they work unless really seeing it. , I was out last night to behold their labors. Almost every thing that I beheld in the nature of grain and herbage was completely destroyed, excepting wheat, which they have so far not very serious ly damaged. The rye that Ifhave seen, yet standing, is sacked of three•fourths of its actu al yield, and a field of cats that I beheld is completely destroyed, at least so much that the owner has turned it into pasture. Fields of corn are desolated by them.. The potato patch es that they attacked ale stripped of all exter nal verdure saving a portion of the vines. Put the most complete scene of desolation that I be held was the garden of Mr. Henry Kurtz. This I cannot describe unless telling you that a similar view will be presented by imagining that brumal rigor just to have Ida the same spot in April or thereabouts, only aggravated by the fact that, the currant bushes are not only deprived of every leaf and all fruit, but the bushes themsleves are about half stripped of their cortical integument. Whether their rav ages are equally complete over the whole dis (del over evhich they arc spread, I have not myself observed, but, according to what others hare reported, it must probably be about the snare. I have however observed that they are about dying away ; yet there is a sufficient quantity left amply to repay the la bor of going and seeing. them. A. S. fll7lbese are days characterized by a gen eral " bobin' around." Men gather up their small Recounts and go " "'Ain' around" after their debtors, who adroitly go " bobin' around'' the corners ; pretty girls sick of waiting " a few days" for a husband, now go " bobin' around" for a beau :--everybody whistles--" bobin' around ;" brass bands blow out--" bobin' around ;" high fellows sing " bobin' around :" while we go " bobin' around" for items. All arc " bobin' around." t4ebas!opol wurmed." Some time since a house of bad repute was opened in Pine Alley, by several Easton hags," which since has somewhat appropri ately received the name of" Sebastopol." The other night a party of dissatisfied out-ciders made an atsault on the " Port," and the way they stnasl ed in windows and showered britd:a against the doors wasn't —a sin. The place and neighborhood is nightly mode the resort of a pack of half-grown loafers and grey-headed old sinners. The quarrels, fights, yells and clamors of tho-foriner are a source of great an noyance to the orderly citizens who reside in die neigborbood.

As a freight (lain passed through the Lehigh Gap Ott Saturday afternoon last, the Engineer discovered a woman coming from amongst the brush wood along the road end before the train could be stopped she threw herself lengthways between the tracks, and the entire train passed over her without doing her any harm—a piece of wood attached to one of the cars only touch ed her slightly. The Engineer was almost par. alysed, and felt certain that the woman was killed. The train however was stopped, and the woman unit jured. She was well all over and upon approael::..,; tier slit. commenced run ning, an . 1 sAcceedra iu making her escaped It so happened that the locomotive uied had uo Cow Catcher—being the only one without it on the road, and this saved the woman's life.— i' all, y Ines. Sumner At•sault. The ease of Preston S. Brooks for the assault I upon Senator i*lnnier, was called up on Tues day, morning; bef ,re the Jtidge of the Criminal Court at Washington. A large number of spectators were present, including Senator Boller and other members of Congress. The District Attorney read a correspondence between himself and Mr. Sumner to show that he had used doe diligence, though unsuccess fully, to obtain the presence of Mr. Sumner, who' had expressed himself to have no desire to take part in the proceedings and left the city. The testimony of WM. L. Leader, who caused the arrest of Mr. Brooks after the assault ; J. W. Simonton, Mr. Keitt, Senators Foster, Pearce and Toombs, were all submitted. At the instance of Mr. Linton, counsel for the accused, extracts were read front "Mr. Sum ner's speech, reflecting upon South' Carolina and Mr. Butler, in mitigation of the ollfmcc. Doctors Boyle,. and Lindsley, and Senator Benjamin were examined, the last expressing his opinion, front what Ito saw of Mr. Sumner's notes, that the speech had been printed before delivery Mr. Brooks made a short speech, regretting Mr. Stnner's absence. Ile had hoped to have the benefit of interrogating him concerning his testimony before the House Conmdtt'ee. He took the ground that there are some offmces for which the law affords no adequate remedy', and said that while he had a heart to feel and a hand to strike, lie would redress the wrongs of his political mother from the effort to cover• her with obloquy and dishonor. Ilis property might be squandered, his life endangered, but ho would be true to her who bore him. Ile bowed to the majesty of the law, and would so receive his sentence. Judge Crawford said that, as the matter might perhaps at that moment be the subject of investigation at another place, (meaning the llohse of Representatives,) he would forbear comment on the testimony, and pronounce the judgment of the Court—which was that Mr. Brooks pay a tine of f;;;390. The fine being paid, Mr. Brooks retired with his friends. •11 - ) -- A Novsr. CIIALLENGII.—CoIoneI the owner of the great Australian bear now on exhibition at Chicago, formerly travelling with.

This measure provides for the appointment of five commis sioners to ascertain who are the true legal vo ters of the territory, and to make a regiStry of them. Every resident in Kansas on July 4th, is to be a voter, and all ;who absented them selves front it in consequence of disturbances which have occurred there, are also to be regis tered as voters, provided they return before October. No persons except those who arc thus registered are to be allowed to vote in the territory, and all frauds or interference with the rights of voters are to be punished severely. All the test acts of Kansas are nullified, and freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the right to bear arms guaranteed. Still fur ther; if possible, to paid against all frauds, the day of the election in Kansas is the same day as that fixed for the Presidential election throughout the Union, and if necessary the U. S. Army is to be called out to enforce order and justice at the polls. At the election to be thus held, delegates are chosen to form a State Con stitution, preparatory to the admission of Kan sas into the Union. Subsequently, the House reconsidered and paSsed what is called the Topeka bill, by two or three majority, and sent it to the Senate. The Senate thereupon considered the House bill, amended it by substituting Mr. Douglas' bill fir the Topeka bill to the House again, as an amendment. - What the House will now do is uncertain. Some think neither of these bills are likely to become a law,—that that of the House will not be acceptable to the House, while that of the House will not be aoceptable to the Senate. Harvest Prespccts In Europe. It appears now to be very generally conceded that the supply of breadstuffl; in Europe will again exhibit a marked deficiency. Tu the principal grain growing departments of Prance. the promise of an abundant harvest has been frustrated by the fearful inundations, which have not only destroyed the growing crops. but reduced to the extreme of poverty vast numbers of people. From the ports on the Baltic and the Black sea, owing principally to the drain of the war upon the farming stock and vehicles used for carrying produce to market, it is anti cipated that the surplus of grain for export will be light. In Germany and Sweden, a long continued drought has prevailed almost without cessation since early spring. In Scotland, in the north ern Islands, and all along the coast of Norway, similar causes have led to the conclusion, that a general ditninutibn of supplies prevails, even in those portions of Europe which arc usually regarded as the granaries of England and the Continent. r7Reaping and Mowing Machines are at tracting much attention just now, in the Agri cultural districts of the Northern States, as the harvests are getting ready for them. In New Jersey, the farmers arc now gathering in their rye crops, which are generally good, so far as we have seen. There"nppears to he a serious dif fercnce of opinion respecting the merits of tl:e various mechanical contrivancts fur reaping and mowing, and the result is frequent trials in the field, in the season when the crops are ripe. The most important of these we have noticed, occurred on the f.l6th of June, at Richmond, Indiana, under the direction of the Indiana State, Agricultural Society, and continued for three days. A large gathering of farmers from almost every portion of the State witnessed the trial, in which about twenty five single and combined machines entered for competition, in eluding several new ones. One day was devn ' ted to the trial of reapers, and another to the mowers. Manny's combined machine received the first premium of fifty dollars. Mann & Sons' machine took the first premium of fifty dollars as a reaper. Atkins' self-raker also took a second premium as a reaper. Ball's Ohio mower, took the second premium of thir ty dollars as a mower. These trials are useful. not merely in enabling the farmers to discrimi nate as to the value of the machines, but •also to enable the inventors to perceive their defects as compared with others, and to study out re medial devices.—Ex.

Mr. Gray, ,the United States Indian Agent : On the 21st inst., Mr. Wm. Gray, an Indian Agent, was' attacked about two miles from - Westport, by parties unknown, and murdered. He was accompanied by his son. As they pass- ed along the road they were overtaken by ; three men on horseback who spoke to them and I passed on. In a short time these men returned, and commenced a conversation with them, ask ing them to drink. The young man declined saying that he never drank anything, but the! Gather tonic a glass with them. Ono of the I party asked Gray what part of the country he I was from, and on being told from Michigan,' observed. I believe you are a d—d freesoiler,' and immediately blazed away at him. The! .old man was unarmed, but clenched his assail- ant and got away his bowie knife from him. I Upon this the other two fired upon him and his! son. Gray received five shotlwounds, the last shot lodging in his right eye. The son was also severely wounded in the thigh. The elder Gray soon expired, and an inquest was held on his body, which was carried into Westport( We have this narrative on the authority.of a gentle man who helped to convey the corpse into Westport. 7'Tun PohyricAT.

They roost in masses so great that large forest trees are broken down, and hundreds of acres of ground covered with bro ken timber to such an extent that a 'horseman cannot get through the woods. Their nesting places are equally remarkable. Every possible tree and spot on a tree where a nest can be formed is occupied, and the nests are often built so slightly that eggs and young tumble to the ground, where hogs fatten on such food. We see it stated that a pigeon nesting place is now in full blast in Ontario county, New York, thir ty miles north of Utica. s":l7i'•When the burning heaffi of Summer scorch the frinne and fever the Blood, when the Liver becomes torpid, the billions - secretions deranged, a general dis inclination to activity and a total lack of energy prostrate the system, then look out for a serious spell of illness.

It will be recollected that this steamer was instantly . sunk by collision with -a propeller, and.that large number of passengers were last; The diver was protected by copper armor, and was . under water forty minutes, during which time he had seine strange adventures,. The upper deck of the steamer lies- one hundred and six ty feet under water, and far below where there is any current or motion. Everything, there fore, is exactly as it first went down. When the diver alighted upon • the deck, he was sa- • hued by a beautiful lady, whose clothing was well arranged, sod her hair elegantly dressed. As he approached her, the motion of the wa ter caused an oscillation of the head, as ifgraccw , fully bowing to him. She was standing erect..Qt with one hand grasping the rigging. Around lay the bodies of several others, as if sleeping, Children holding their friends by their hands, and mothers with their babes in their staid were there. In the cabin the furniture was still untouched by decay And to all appearance had just been, arranged by some careful and tasteful hand. [We think the diver is trying his hand at romancing. It is difficult to be lieve that after four years submersion bodies were still undecaycd.] In the office ho Ibuntl the safe, and was cii shied to move it with case, and took it upon deck, where the grappling irons were fastened t on-- and the prize brought safely to the light. 1. - pon opening the safe, it displayad its con tents in a period slate of preservation.
