Sad Accidout On Wednesday last, Mr. JAMES Timxi.Eit, of Upper Milford township, residing about one mile east ofMillerstown, met with a distressing accident, which resulted in his death on Sunday morning. He and a servant were engaged in hauling building stone from the Lehigh Moun tain, and coming down an irregular passage through the woods with a heavy load, deceased left the horses and ran behind the wagon to tighten the lock, and in again going forward he was caughtlbetweerr a wheel and a tree, and wedged in so tight that the horses were unable to move the wagon either backwards or for wards, and ho could . therefore not be extricated froth his unfortunate and painful situation un til the servant had unloaded the wagon. He was unable to walk after his release, and was injured internally to so serious an extent that it resulted in his death at the time above stat ed.

The time is short. but still long enough the farm ers and others who take pride mid pleasure in exhibiting the fruits of their industry and skill, to get ready and attend. Make your arrange ! merits, immediately, theiefore, and be sure to bring somethirg along to exhibit. If you have prepared nothir; specially for the occasion, gather up son' , thing, however small, and bring it along. Remember, this world of ours is not made up of towering mountains, foaming cata racts and billowy oceans, but of small atoms— ! each furnishing matter for curious and instruc ! live examination. So of Fairs. It is not the big fat cattle, huge machinery, or prodigious pumpkins that form the chief attractions ; the numerous smaller specimens of art and natural productions, possessing beauty, utility and perfection, and manifesting skill, ingenuity, or industry, make up the grand and imposing whole. Every friend of improvement should take a deep interest in, and contribute some thing to the success of the Fair ; and every Le i high countian should take pride in doing what ever may be in his power to render the show I not only respectable, but equal if not superior to similar exhibitions in other Counties—aye, let us beat them if we can. We call, then, upon all—and especially upon the ladies—to be READY—to attend in person and bring something to show. We hope the ladies wilitake the cause into consideration— it tends greatly to maintain their rights and en , large their comforts—and agitate the subject from now until the time for the meeting, giv ing no rest to husbands or brothers until they arouse in them the right spirit and prompt them to the right action. Let us have one grand mass meeting of the whole County, which shall send back a thrill of delight and spirit of im provement from its centre to its circumference. These fairs are of general benefit, enable each one to sec what his friends nt a distance have in the way of stock, &c., and lead to an inter change of opinion that could not otherwise be obtained. We hope all who can will make it suit to attend. Democratic Delegate Elections.

In case none of the three candidates in the field receive one hundred and fiirty•nine votes, the'dection would go into the House according to the Provision Of the Constitution, which de- , Glares that the House shall choose the President by ballot from the three persons having the! highest number of electoral votes. If the House should fail to make a choice before the fourth of Marsh next following. then the matter passes into the hands of the Senate, unless one of the candidates for Vice President shall have received a majority of the electoral votes, in which case ho would, by the Constitution, be come President. But if none of the candidates for Vice President should have a majority of the ; electoral votes cast. then:the Senate is author ized to choose the Vice President from the two having the highest number of votes, and their choice for Vice l'resident would act as Presi dent until a new citation by the people was had. To be beplored—The Campaign. The presidential campaign of 1856, has thus / far been characterized by features totally dif fering from any previous campaign withinf our remembrance. We doubt whether, at any time since the inauguration of our government, partizan. rancors, hatreds and animosities have'. so universally prevailed. We observe now none of the vivacity of for mer campaigns. The people used to consider the election of the. President a sort of quadren nial amusement to be enjoyed. They built log cabins, and drank hard eider, they stripped the skins of defunct coons : they had grand jollifi cations and sang jolly songs. The case is very different now. Politics is a serious business.— The comedy is metemorphosed into tragedy.— Men shout but there is a bitter meaning in Opponents exhibit the most violent antagonism, and the speech-ma , kers are as tout-111M11.11,1 1/..)

We, who have to wade through soy= era! score of papers. every day, are heartily siek of their interminable and unmitigated violence. Another feature of the present campaign is that it is accompanied by threats. from por tions of all the parties, of a dissolution of the Union. Surely, we have fallen ; upon fearful times, and it behoves every trod potriot so to discharge the linty of tin American freeman as he thinks best for the welfare of his country. Our Broad Acres. The extent of our National domain is almost beyond the power of the human mind to con ceive. We speak of acres by the million, but what idea does that give us of the vast area that is included within our boundaries? This is a great country. The New York Timcs, in the course of an article on this subject states some interesting facts. First as to the acquirement of additional ter ritory by purchase. In 1803 we purchased'lmuisiana for $11,000,- 000, and stipulated to release France of as much more. In 1819 we paid $5,000,00Q to Spain for Florida. The extinguishment of Indian ti tles cost within a fraction of $1,000,000. For Texas and acquired Mexican territory, we have given $35,000.000. Burveying the public lands has cost us $5,000,000. In all $100,000,000. besides the expenses of the Florida and Mexi can wars. Immense as this sum appears, the fact that we have been able to pay it without extraordinary pressure by taxation, or other wise crippling the resources of our country, is a legitimate Canso for national pride and gratu• lation. Is this not a' reat country? The extent and value of land now owned by the United States present somestertling figures. We own upwards •of 1,1500m00m00 acres of land, worth $2.000.000,000 ! It requires no reasoning powers to show the importance of wisely economizing and prudent ly using this prodigious National Domain. While, on the one hand, it may be made a chief source of our future ptosperity as a people, it can also, if sacrificed to thecupidity of unprin cipled politicians and monopolist speculators, prove just such a means of embarrassment as the lands have become, by injudicious manage ment in the Spanish Colonies of America, and even in Canada. The highest point of legisla tion has certainly not heel" .reached as yet. Tlie' amount 'of land sold within the last two) years has been unprecedented ; but there is eve- ; ry reason to believe that the actual possession of it. has not been generally given to the class of persons whom the existing laws intended to benefit. tr?lt. is said of one or the shrewdest and wenithest of the business men of the city of Washington —a man now upwards of 80 years of ago—that he has Over set his foot in a rail road car, a steamboat, or a graveyard, and that ho has never been so far from Washington as I the city of Baltimore. which conveyed the party to the scene, and landed in a small boat at the foot of Thirty fourth street.

The men who took him said his name was John Williams. and that he had been beaten by a party of boatmen. ri - Ilonatur.r: A vrAill. CABRIRD OFF BY A IlzAn.—One of those fearful accidents oc curred near the village of Neshota, on S Lturday last, which go so far to create the thrilling in terest in the written romance of pioneer's life. Just before sunset, a child 5 years old, was seized in the presence of its mother, by a full grown bear, and in spite of its screams, and the frantic tffbrts of its mother, was borne off' into the thicket. The alarm was given, and the men with guns and other weapons of destruc tion commenced searching the woods, but up to Tuesday nothing has been found upon whiqt to base a conjecture with reference to its rate. &tars are quite plenty in this neighborhood, but this is the first instance where human life has been sacrificed by them, though they had fre quently carried dr stock from the farmers, cont ing up, as in this case, to the door of the house. —Manitoteen ( Wm) Trilmitc.

Olsen made such a desperate resistance that the executioner and six men who helped him could not bring him to the block without calling sol diers to assist them. As soon as Olsen's head was severedtrom -his body, two young peasant girls, fifteen or seventeen years of age, rushed through the double line of armed police who guarded the scaffold, and filled the cups which they carried with the blood that spouted from the neck of the mutilated corpse, and instantly ' swallowed the horrible draught. There is an old superstition amongst the rural population of Denmark, that the blood of a beheaded felon , if drunk while it is warm, is an infallible pre servative against epilepsy and apoplexy. The girls were taken before a police cotmnisioner, and declared that they had only done what they had aright to do. They showed a paper, sign ed G.

The Teeth: The enamel of the teeth is one of the most curious substances in the human organism. It is a vitriform compound sufficiently hard to strike fire with steel. Its surface is smooth and polished, and it forms a thiticar layer on the crown of the tooth, and at the parts where the teeth come in contact, than towards the cervix or neck. Its crystaline fibres, as seen through a microscope,• are transverse to the perpendicular surface of the teeth, and seem to protrude from the ivory beneath in innumera ble filiform pointi, giving to the more translu cent medium which they thus penetrate and pervade a beautiful velvety appearance. It is supposed, however, that the enamel has neither blood-vessels nor nerves in the matured and, completed state, and that its formation and sensitiveness to touch and dependent upon the vascular and nervous structure of the interior) osseous portion of the tooth, with which it coon- 1 1 municates by pressure or transferred motion. 11:7The Presbyterians of this country have 2.300 ministers, and 3,100 churches, and near ly 250.000 communicants.

There is a thorn in the path now and then, but there is a rose always hard by. Did you never know it before ? Wo will tell you something. We never heard it. nor read it. We found it out. Doctors, you know, are very inquisitive folks, always prying and peeping about, through their own eyes, and other peoples, and when these are not sufficient, they use the microscope, a very favorite instru ment with some of them, inasmucuh as it ena ble them ' " To seo what is not to be seen" by anybody, except themselves ; and full often, they arc like the sailor on the lookout ; he could not. see land exactly, but, he could pretty near do it. Well, all at once, one day, this bright idea (so we call it for the present, it may afterwards arise to a fact, for there is a shade ,of difference between the twain) broke in upon us effulgently. The roses and thorns of mar ried life are not one and indivisible ; they grow on separate stocks, and all that is req•aired to part them, is a good head and kind heart. There is one diflioulty in• the way, the thorns are indestructible, but you have only to throw them aside, and if anybody else chooses to pick them up, that is their lookout; every ono must see 11;r himself. A bunch of this sort hap ' pened to fall to our lot once upon a time, but we can easily account for it, and that is highly satisfactory ; we always had weak eyes, and the vicinage thereof is much of a sameness, in a certain phase of the moon. But we fully cal ' emulate on repeating the operation ; and wo in tend to have a pair of specs, next time, such as will diminish the blinding glare which Curls and Cotton, in certain conjunctions, attitudes and combinations, do most devastatingly throw ' around them. Not long since, n man was head over heels in debt, and he declared that his last specula tion left him head over heeler. So, one who tries by marriage to get out ortrouble, some times gets into greater ; but in the large main, marriage is the balm of life, it is the natural condition of human kind, hence, Divinity has ordained it. , The idea which we wished to convey, in can• nection with the heading of this article. is that while more women than men, in the country at large, die of consumption, yet five hundred married men will die of consumption, while three hundred married women die of it. There f ire, as to women, marriage, after tteeniy-five, is a preventive or consumption. Young Men There is no moral object so beautiful to mo as a conscientious young man. I watch him as I do a star in heaven : clouds may he before him, but we know that his light is behind them and will beam forth again ; but we know that, though unseen.illuminates his ownitrue sphere. He resists temptations, not without a struggle, for that is not virtue, hut he resists and con quers, he bears the sarcasm of the profligate, and it stings him, for that is a trait of virtue, but heals with his own pure touch. He heeds not the watchword of fashion, if it leads to sin : the Atheist who says, not only in his heart, but with his lips, " there is no God !" controls him not : he sees the hand of a creating God and rejoices in it. Woman is sheltered by fond arms and loving counsel ; old age is protected by its experience, and man manhood by its strength ; but the young man stands amid the temptations of the world like a self balanced tower. Happy ho who seeks mid gains the prop of morality. Onward then, conscientious youith—ralse thy standard, and nerve thyself for goodness. If God has given thee intellectual power, awake in that. cause : never let it be said of thee " ho helped to swell the river of sin by pouring his influence into its channels." If thou art feeble in mental strength, throw not that drop into a polluted current. Awake, arise young men! arouse that beautiful garb of virtue ! It is dif ficult to be pure and holy. Put on thy strength then. Let truth be the lady of love— defend her.—lbsv Carobitc A flu 01 . Advizo. Have you enemies d. Go straight on and don't mind them. If they-get in your way, walk around them, regardless of their spite. A man that has no enemies is seldom good for anything—he is made of that kind of material which is so easily worked that every ono has a hand in it. A sterling character—one who thinks for himself, and speaks , what he thinks, is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to him as fresh air they keep him, alive and active. A celebrated character, who. was surrounded by, enemies, used to remark.: •• They aro sparks, which if you do not blow will go out themselves."
