Curtin, OF CENTRE COUNTY Prospects of Ektooesi • As prospects now are, no man can doubt, for a moment, the election of Lincoln and Ham ' lin, in Novembei. The distracted and divided condition of the Democracy establishes this be yond a doubt. We believe we could elect Lincoln over a consolidated Democracy, heart ily united in support of an unexceptionable can didate, nominated without opposition in the party. We should prefer this plan of defeating the Democracy, and electing Lincoln. The mat ter,. however, is beyondour control, and we must whip the Democracy, as they are. This, we reckon, will be quite an easy task. Some Democratic Editors pretend to think otherwise. Let's look at the field, and examine the rea sons for the opinion, we entertain. The Democracy enter the contest, convinced, that defeat stares them in the face. This is half the battle. Thp masses will not be so foolish, as to strend i tfieir time, their money, and their effort in—pydsecuting vigorously a cam_ paign, 'when there are no prospects of success. The Democracy are divided and fighting nmong themselves. They were never so bit- Wl' at Republicans, as they now are at one another. The feud not only divides States, but has reached every munty, village, and borough, in the Northern States. A vigorous campaign requires an unwavering, united, and unbroken front, to make it effective. This division is such, that it will prevent all efforts to form a fusion or common electoral ticket. The friends of Breckenridge oppose fusion, as do those of Douglas. Judge Doug las, himself, speaking thrOugh his National Executive Committee, opposes all plans of fu sion with the "Rebels," as he now terms them. At present, it is fixed, that there will be two electoral tickets in the States' of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, In diana, and Minnesota. We speak, now, only of the Northern States. In what other States, two Democratic electoral tickets will be run, the future must determine. We presume, that, in all the States, there will be two such electoral tickets, where representatives of the two wings can be found. In none of the other Northern States, not mentioned above, except ing California and Oregon, could a united De mocracy ever olaim.the ghost of a chance. In the States, mentioned above, which includt what were termed . the doubtful States, the di visions of the Democracy render a Democratic victory impossible. It 'can not be said, by the friends of Douglas, that Breckenridge has no supporters in these States. Among the oppo nents of Douglas, are included many of the prominent men of the party ; Senators Fitch and 'Bright, of Indiana, Senator Thompson, of New Jersey, Senator Bigler, of Pennsylva nia, and others. But what are the prospects in California and Oregon. In Oregon, a Re publican Congressman, it would appear, was almost elected at the recent election. Lincoln, it may be put down, can carry the State, in November. In California, we may expect , that the Republicans will triumph, in the quar rels and divisions of the Democracy. The Re publican Party, we may conclude, will not on ly carry enough States to elect Lincoln, but will have electoral votes to spare. Let Re publicans then hopefully enter the contest.— Let not the prospects of success render Repub licans indolent in effort. Let the victory be an overwhelming one, such, as will ensure a long continuance of Republican rule, in the councils of the nation. OPPOSED TO VIZ FUSION.—fn reply to the letter of Mr. Welsh, Chairman of the Demo cratid State Central Committee, Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia, an elector on the ticket fram ed at the late Reading State Convention, states his determination to disregard the plan of fu sion adopted by the Committee and to vote for Douglas and Johnson, as the only Democratic nominees. Mr. Vaux considers that the Execu tive Committee have nothing to do in the premises and bases his position upon the action of the State Convention, as the only power, that can act in the matter. • MELTING OF THE REPUBLIC/NS OF THE OLD TENTH LEOION.-A mass meeting of the Re publicans of the Old Tenth Legion will be held at Stroudsburg, Monroe county, on the Bth of August, should not the time be changed, ow- Ingle conflicting arrangements of the State Central Committee. Col. Curtin will visit this section of the State in the middle of Au gust and possibly the programme may be changed, so as to allow of his presence at the mass meeting at Stroudsburg. SENATOR BRIGHT FOR BRECKENRIDGE.—SOII - Bright, of Indiana, has declared hie inten tion to oppose Douglar, and support Brecken ridge, and will start a daily paper, at Indian apolis,lhe capital of the State, in support of the Seceders' ticket. This will give Indiana to Lincoln and Hamlin, tgIS 11 '• To Vet id Lfeinoo'raey of. Pennsylvania, _ wlte'' , Ate the election 'ofttiltephen A.

Has Stephen , A:Douglasfic the course of hie political career ever voted w th the friends of profeetion on the tariff' question? KM Ihu3 he ever said sword in the halls of Con gress in favor of the protective system? Alave.not his_ votes uniformly been on the side of those opposed•to the protective system? We believe that an answer to these ques ' bons must satisfy the voters of Pennsylvania, that he is not the candidate to receive their support. The question of tariff is one of the .questions, upon which the coming election should turn, and the voters of Pennsylvania, should See that their own peculiar interests are cared for. If Pennsylvania will not care for herself, no other States will, except as their own interests are identical with hers. To the supporters of Douglas in vain will Pennsylva nia look for assistance in passing a protective tariff. The only party, that can accomplish anything for Pennsylvania is the Republican• party. 'We copy from the Congressional Globe sev eral extracts, giving some of the votes of Sen ator Douglas on the tariff question, as it has been presented in times' past. From the past wq form our conclusions as to the future: December 11th, 1843.—Mr. Rhea, of South Carolina, moved a suspension of the rules in order to introduce the folloVring resolution : "Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and Means do inquire, as soon as practicable, into the expediency of reporting a bill repealing the tariff act passed in the year 1842, and in lieu thereof imposing a maximum rate of duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem, on imports, discrim inating below this maximum in the duties im posed on the principle of producing revenue only." YEA ••Stir l STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS VO- TED See Cong. Globe, vol. 13, page 44. .January 3d, 1844.—Mr. Ithett submitted the following resolution, on which he moved the previous question: "Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and means be instructed - to report a bill reducing all the duties on imports over 30 per cent. ad valorem, to that amount, and providing for a final reduction within two years, to 20 per cent. ad valorem with such discrimination below this maximum as the purposes of revenue shall require. star-STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS VO TED YEA! See Ciong. Globe, vol. 13, page 08. The Pennsqlvania Elections. From all parts of tho State we hear en couraging reports as to the prospects of Cur tin's election in October and the success of Lincoln and Hamlin, In tho State in November. A meeting of the State Central Committee was held last week at Cresson, which was attended by all the members of the Committee, save three, one of whom was prevented from being present by sickness. Each of the members of the Committee present brought very flattering reports from his section of the State. In the home of Henry D. Foster, 'Westmoreland coun ty, it is said by the editor, of the Raftman's Journal; who has been travelling in the west ern portion of the State, that Curtin will poll the full opposition vote. By our exchanges we see, that in the city of Philadelphia, Ward Clubs and associations are organized in every wardin the city. It is said, that the Opposi tion were never so thoroughly organized and united in the city, as are now the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin . and Curtin. The divisions and feuds of the Democracy render a Repub lican triump in the two fall elections certain. Still let the victory be a signal one. We wish to see not only a Republican President and Governor elected, but should like to see as many Congressmen as possible of the Opposi tion, elected from the old Keystone, and a large majority in the two branches of the Leg islature. In Lehigh we have a county ticket also to elect, for whose success we should struggle incessantly. Let each Republican voter of the county shoulder his portion of the burden. No one person can accomplish much,, but the result of the combined efforts of all the Republicans of the county, working inces santly, judiebusly and systematically, may be a sweeping and glorious victory. Who would not share in the glory of the victory ? IteL.A. meeting of the Democratic City Club of Reading, was held on Wednesday evening last, to take action in reference to the late ac tion of thp Democratic State Central Commit tee upon the question of an electoral ticket.— Resolutions endorsing the action of the Com mittee were offered. An amendment, offered by A. G. Green, Esq., advocating the adoption of an Electoral Ticket pledged to the support of Douglas and Johnson, was lost by a large majority. The original resolutions were then passed with but one dissenting voice. A. G. Green and party then withdrew from the meet ing. Mr. Green was the candidate for District Attorney in 1859, on the ticket framed by the Anti-Lecompton Democrats of Berke county, in'opposition to the regular Democratic nomi nees. The old feud, which has divided the Democracy of Berke county for, the past two years, is likely to be continued this fall. JOHN HICKMAN • FOR LINCOLN.-HOH. John Hickman, of Chester county, has declared his intention to take the stump for Lincoln, Ham lin and Curtin. He is announced to speak at a grand Republican mass meeting at West Chester, on Friday week. lie is an eloquent and powerful speaker, and his exposures of President Buchanan's treacheries and corrup-. tions will be most withering. We understand it is Mr. Hickman's intention to make a tour Of the Western States during the, campaign, and address meetings wherever possible. At the urgent request of Francis P. Blair, he has consented to visit Missouri, and help the Re= publicans along in their noble fight in that State. Mr. Hickman will speak in Philadelphia, on the evening of the 24th inst. He has promis ed to speak in Bucks county sometimes during the campaign—probably during September Court.—Bucks County Intelligencer. A STRATOWT'DOUGLAS ELECTORAL TICKET.- Richard Haldeman, Esq., member of the Na tional Douglas Executive Committee from Penn sylvania, has issued an address to the friends of Douglas in Pennsylvania, protesting against the action of the State Executive Committee in proposing a fusion electoral ticket and call ing for a mass and delegate State Convention at Harrisburg, to meet on the the 24th of July, to form a straight Douglas electoral ticket. POTTER RE-NOMINATED.—The Republicans of the first Congressional District of Wiscon sin, on Thursday last, nominated John F. Pot ter, for Congress by acclamation. Men like Potter in the Republican ranks should be sent to Congress, until Southern Representatives stop their , insolence and arrogance. eaptfired on Want orAveralshrerkbyUnited States vessels, antp.Whafte been temporarily kept at Key Wete:l4 the'Atriternment, are likely to make the General Government consid erable trouble. Theauthorities nt Washing ton have teen disevissifig the ptopriety of re turning them to Africa. In the meanwhile numbers of the the unforhmate negroes have been kidnapped and sold 'into Slavery in the Southern States, doubtless with the connivance of the Federal officers.. To account for the loss reports have been circulated of mortality among the negroes. Coffins have been taken to the bench and sunk in the surf, nhich it is pretended, contained the bodies of Africans, who had died, whilst it is hinted, that they contained no " Dead Negroes" at all.. THE POLITICAL PAPERS OF NEW JERSEY: The Now York Tribune of Monday gives a statement of the polities of the different politi cal newspapers in New Jersey in 1856 and 1860. from this statement it appears that in 1856 fourteen newspapers supported Fremont andtDayton, six Fillmore and Donelson; and fourteen Bubhanan and Breckenridge. In 1860 twenty-two have already declared for Lin coln and Hamlin, two for Bell and Everett, ten for Douglas and Johnson, and four for Breck enridge and Lane. Of the six newspapers which supported Fillmore, four have already declared for Lineoln, .one is neutral and one supports Bell and Everett. The indications are that Lincoln in the divisions of the Demo cratic party will carry Now Jersey with ease. POPULATION OP HARRISBUItO.—The census of the city of Harrisburg has hetM completed, and shows the following result: Population of the First, Second and Third Wards, - - - - 7,772 Population of the Fourth, Fifth and Siith Wards, - - Total, - - Population in 1850, Increase, ' - - - 6,866 This shows a gratifying and healthy growth of nearly 100 per cont. A portion of this in crease, however, has been gained by the en largement of the boundaries of the town, when it was incorporated into a city. LINCOLN AMONG THE GERMANS WEST: The Germans, in the western States, in 1856, pret ty generally supported Fremont. Since then from the same ranks, strong reinforcements have been made to the Republican cause. We judge from the stand, which leading German papers have taken in the present political con test. In 1856, the Republicans had but one German paper, in Indiana, but now the tables are turned, and the Democrats have but one, while six are doing service for the Republican cause. The Illinois State Journal gives a list of sixty-nine German papers in the country, that have raised the Lincoln and Hanalin flag. WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA ASTIRRING : - A It Republican meeting, was held in Alle gbany city, on Friday evening last. The meet ing is said to have been one of the largest po litical gatherings, ever assembled in that sec tion of the Commonwealth. More than 7,000 persons were supposed to be present. The Wide-Awakes turned out in full force. The names of Lincoln and Hamlin were mentioned amid unbounded enthusiasm : Addresses were delivered by Representative McKnight and others. We may expect a good account from beyond the Alleghanies for Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin, in the fall. TILE DEMOCRACY OF NEW JERSEY.—The plan of fusion of the friends of Breckenridge and Douglas, upon a single electoral ticket, in the Northern States, proposed by some of the poli ticians of the Party; is destined to prove a grand failure. Col. Forney openly states, in the Philadelphia Press, that all such attempts are disapproved of by Judge DoUglas himself. At a meeting of a Douglas club, in Newark; N. J., it was resolved, that a straight Douglas electoral ticket be run in the fall. The De mocracy, of New Jersey, will follow the exam ple of their brethern of other States, and divide. TILE UNITED STATES ZOUAVE CADETS.—The United States Zouave Cadets of Chicago, said to be the best-drilled military organization of the country, are now on an excursion to the Eastern States. They were received at Utica, N. Y;, on Wednesday last. They have sent a challenge to all the volunteer organizations of the country to compete with them for the championship in drill in the United States.;— The challenge has beeti accepted by several companies. They will meet with splendid re ceptions at the different large cities of the East. THE GREAT EASTERN. - The excitement among the people to see the great eastern is constantly on the increase. From five to ten thousand persons visit the ship daily. Admit fee,• 50 cents. The New York papers state, that excursion trains are arriving from all parts, heavily laden with visitors. It is proposed to remove the vessel to Philadelphia for exhibi tion after she has remained at New York suf ficiently long. PRESIDENT BUCHANAN FOR BRECKENRIDGE.- After a ratification meeting, at Washington on Tuesday evening of last week, President Buchanan was serenaded and in a speech in reply declared his preferences for Breckenridge for the Presidency. The President considered neither nomination regular and that all Democrats wore left free to support either Douglas or Breckenridge. TIIE SEAVE-TRADE.-It is stated, in the city papers, that a slaver arrived in Mobile bay, with 124 slaves on board, and that a steamer immediately took them up the river. We have yet to learn of the arrest or attempt by the Gov ernment officials, to arrest the parties, con .corned in this violation of the law. The Fed oral laws brand it, as piracy, and yet the vio lators of the law escape with . impunity. ' VISIT OF TUE PRINCE or WALES.—The Prince of Wales has concluded to pay a visit to Can ada in the course of which he will pay a flying visit to the principal cities of the United States Nev; York &c., going as far west as Cincinnati. During his visit he will exchange his title for that of Lord Renfrew and studiously avoid all public receptions and display on his behalf. LINCOLN IN DLLEWARE.—The Republicans of little Delaware are in high spirits over the prospect of carrying that State for Lin cole and Hamlin. All the opposition papers except the Wilmington Commontrea/lh are vigorously supporting the Republican nom inees. HON. JOHN SHERMAN.—Hon. John Sherman has boon unanimously nominated for re-eleo tion to Congress by his constituents. , The Departaqjif the . Members of Vongress— Amen-de:loved compliment—The President at a political.meeting i 4:oc. l iN'e d r July Since the dePartttre ,V ef Aliti thos highfalutin" l: gentlemen, the M. C.'s, Arid the • venerable old fogies of-the Senate, this town hag been' ex tremely dial and it seems as if it were des tined to. become still nume deserted ere long, for everybody, who can, is going to the Springs, or somewhere else i end before many days have elapsed, we poor .plebians' will be " alone in our glory"—..in possession of the "metrop olis of the nation ;" or, as some persist in styl in it, " thecity of tnagnifiefint distandes. " " tanding upon the steps of the Capitol, at i eventide, n the declining rays of the setting sun, while the eye sweeps the whole length of Pennsylvania avenue, one can fully realize the fact. The "gloryand wisdom of the II ation" has indeed departed from Its, for a time at least.— Where, a few. short weeks ago, the avenue was crowded with' vehicles and pedestrians—well dressed gentlemen flourishing gutta-percha canes, and ladies with expansive crinoline—we behold now, perhaps, a dozen pedestrians and a solitary 'bits. Oh, how we miss those jovial fellows who make big speeches, drink good liquors, play " poker, ' and " them sort 'o things"--and who would fight duels, if it was'nt for the fact that their health might be seriously impaired during the modus operandi. But then we must patiently await their return, bearing in mind that "Patience and resignation are the columns Of human peace on earth." And while, in our solitude, we mourn their loss, we cling to the hope—.—the promised hope —that "Heaven has to all allotted, soon or late, Some lucky revolution in their fate." That was a well-deserved compliment the Republican Club paid the Hon. Henry C. Longnocker upon his arrival at Allentown ; and if I had been present on the occasion I would have handed over " my hat" at once, although it is a new one, and required consid erable exertion, industry and perseverance to raise the rino to purchase said hat. I said the compliment was " well-deserved ;" and so it was, for no man in the halls of Congress tried to perform his duty, to his country and his constituents, more faithfully than did Henry C. Longnecker. You know, Messrs. Editors, that I have had the opportunity, for years, to observe the course of members here, and I can say with truth, for a new member, Mr. Long necker has succeeded admirably in his efforts to perform the duties entrusted to his charge. ,Unprincipled prints may, in their blind party zeal, attempt to cast a stigma upon his course here, by-falsehood and slander—but. then, as Noodles says, " they (the Democratic press) are so used to lying, they can't help it ; they must lie." It is the kind of school they've been " fotched up" in that has brought on the bad habit, and they can't get rid of it. Jim Buchanan, left the White House, one night last week, came down to the City Hall, and addressed the " Brock. and Lane" meet ing. He said a good deal about a bird they call the " American eagle„" the " glorious Union" and the Constitution, (not the Leeomp ton constitution, for he don't like them kind of constitutions as well now as he once did.? 1 guess we can say to "Old Buck," what Tam erlane said to Bnjazet, emperor of the Otto mans:. " As for. thee, descended from a Turco man sailor, since the vessel of thy unbounded ambition has been wrecked in the gulf of thy self-love, it would he proper that thou should'st take in the sails of thy temerity, and cast the anchor of repentance in the port of sincerity and justice, which is the port of safety." LE I ITU 11. 7,090 14,862 7,996 ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC ELECTOR REPUDIATES THE ELISION SCHEME.—Honidaysburfi, Pa., Ja y 9th, 1960.—Dear Sir ; I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your circular, con taining the resolutions of the State Central Committee, passed at their late meeting. in .Philadelphia, and to which is appended a ptedge, to which my signature, as an elector. is requested: 'From a profound sense of my obligations to the Democratic party, I am con strained to withold my assent. Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson have been nominated by the National Convention in con formity to the recognized and long-established usages of the party. I, therefore, cannot con sent to be made a party to any arrangement (oven though it be by the State Central Com mittee,) the operation of which would be to ig nore those usages, and to encourage disorgan ization and secession. therefore, in the event of my election, as an elector, will pledge my vote only for Stephen A. Douglas and Her schel V. Johnson, the candidates of the Democ racy of the Union. . I -have the honor to be, very truly, yours, &c R. CRAWFORD. LINCOI.N.-A merchant travelling in the west, notices Lincoln as follows: " I started from Chicago at 9 p. 01. and got to Springfield at sa. m. After transacting my business there I decided to call on Mr Lincoln, the Republican candidate for President. I thought I should know him by the portraits I had seen and therefor did not want any one to point him out. So I bolted in and saw s,wo men but neither looked like the man I expected to meet. I inquired for Mr Lincoln, when one of them rose and said he was the man. He is is not a dark complexioned man, nor is be light. He is an exceedingly agreeable gentle man, and at once entered into conversation upon political affairs. Mr Lincoln is what I call a National man, fully informed from in stinct and observation of all that is going on in the world, and has a good knowledge of men. I have seen all the Presidents since Jack Son and none of them would compare with Abra ham Lincoln in intellectual looks and frank, free noble expression. In short, .I am glad so good a man has been nominated. His election is sure. I did not expect to see the Democra cy so demoralized, so justly ' used up ' " CHANGES FOR BRECKE)f RIDGE.—The North ampton Correspondent, a German organ of the Democracy, &Wished at Easton, after hav ing had the name, of Stephen A. Douglas at the head of its columns for two weeks, has de clared for Breckenridge & Lane. We notice changes of a similar character all over the Northern States. OREGON ELECTION.—The official returns of tile election in Oregon, show the election of Shiel, Democrat, over Logan, Republican, by a majority of seventy. The Legislature, how ever, is such, as to secure the election of One Republican and one Anti-Lecompton Democrat to the United States Senate.

Snyder is supposed to have been under the influence of liquor at the time. GOING TO CAMP PATTERSON.— The Allen Rifles are agitating the subject of visit ing Camp Patterson, to be held at York, Pa., commencing September 3rd.

THE- COMET.—The new Comet begins to present quite a luminous train, and, is now clearly discernible by the naked eye a few de grees above the Northwestern horizon. About 9 o'clock I'. M., is probably the best time for obseryations, though this new celestial visitor is so thickly enveloped in mist, that it does not look very brilliant. SAD ACCIDENT.— On Saturday last, a young ylaughter of Mr. Josiah Guth, of Guths ville, two years of age, met with a sad acci dent, which is likely to result in the loss of one of her eyes.

HOW TO GET RID OF MOSQUITOES IN THE NlGHT.—Mosquitoes, says somebody, love beef blood better than they do any that flows in the veins of human kind. • Just put a couple• of generous pieces on plates near your bed at night, and you will sleep undis turbed by these pests. • In the morning you will find them full and Stupid with beef blood, and the meat sucked dry. UNO HATEFUL MOTRER.—A yOung girl employed in the family of Mr. Isaac Mil ler near Weaversville, gave birth to an illegi timate child on the first inst., and carried it out to Fatzinger's woods, where it remained exposed for 24 hours before discovered by the neighbors.

Sunday last, We under stand, that there wore several exhibitions on the grounds ; one.of rope-walking, and another an exhibition of a three-legged horse, by some ingenious Yankee, who found out -that the gathering would be likely to bring large prof its into his purse, The whole affair wound up with a miscellaneous tight, between certain of the town folks, on the one hand, and certain .of the country folks, on the other, froth Snlie bury and Saucon townships.

BEWARE OP UNRIPE FRUIT.—The warm weather may now be said to have fairly set in and with the summery days Comes the usual supply of delicacies peculiar to the sea son. As ii preventative against a good deal of sickness which generally prevails about this time, we have a few words of caution and ad vice to offer our readers, Just now our town is beginning to be well stocked with fruits anti vegetables, some ripe anti quitelit for use but a large quantity, it must be edded,.qnite unsuited to the digestive powers of animals only supplied with Christian stomachs. Unripe fruit, is the source of an amount of disease, hav ing a tendency to produce even cholera, one of the most malignant and sii . onnary epidemics known to the disciples of Esculapius. It would be well, therefore for people to examine care fully their fruit before making purchases, and 'parents especialy should keep a close watch over their children. The destructive effects of unripe fruit among young folks is immense, as shown by the mortality list of this and other ENCOURAGE OUR.OIVN STORES 'AND MRCIIANICS.—An exchange says that it is a very great mistake for a citizens doing busi ness in a place. to suppose that because he can apparently save a dollar in purchasing, a given article in Philadelphia or New York, that ho is a gainer of that dollar. When right ly viewed it is just the reverse: he is a loser, for his money, which should have been kept in circulation here, is now gone from us, the community impoverished to , just the amount he has unnecessarily sent abroad, the ability of his customer to pay him thatnnich lessened and his prospect of business also to. that extent curtailed. It is undoubtedly a suicidal course to pursue, and the man of liberal and enlarged views will be careful. never to spend a dollar abroad which can be retained at home. For even to pay a trifle more for any given article here is better for all concerned than to send away the money out of circulation. If all would only look at this thing in the pxdper manner, we • would never experience - hard times. ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.—As the 3,20 P. M.

RB FOURTH OFjULY IN ZlOliiBV-ILUS, ..AXII:IO4.COUNTY.--On the evening of the I . 4thin large concourse of people were assembled, .althOngh it was not believed to be generally known,. that a celebration in honor of that great day, was to take place; and, as no spea ker in die. German language, could be obtained, it Imp doubted, whether Zionsville could pro dime rt.-proper celebration ; yet, for once, your Observer. had been mistaken. For, in the beau tiful twilight of the evening, the people of the surrounding country wore seen &eking to the village, which was splendidly illuminated with lights from almost every window. Many saw for-the first time what a handsome little place Zionstille was, -with its beautiful churches, schoolhouse, shops, and its large and tasteful mansions; and many wore so delighted, th i g several times, through the evening, they hur rahed aloud in honor of the place, and it m a y be properly regarded, as one of our country towns. But what occurred there? The assem was palled to order by a citizen of the piece, and the solemnity of the fourth of July, and. especially the occurrences of that day, in. 1776, were described ; and the celebrations of the present day, with fireworks, &c., represen ting the horrors of war, were thoroughly dis cussed, which was rendered still more impres sive by a Peal of patriotic music by the Z101: 18 ville Brass Band. After this, the Reelaration of Independence was read by a young citizen, which was fol lowed by great •• ap plause of the assembled crowd, in honor of the •Patriote os '76, and their valorous deeds, echoed by throe cheers from the Band. The remaining intervals of time .ivere suitably employed in short address es, by certain young fellow-eitizens; after this, fireworkssof various descriptions were intro duced. In conclusion, the' ascension of a balloon, about twelve feet in heighth, took place, which, at a fine elevation, pursued its course towards Millerstown, till it ascended to a higher cur rent, and sailed in the direction of Quaker town ; it gradually became less and less dis tinct, till, at length, it was lost to the sight. After a concluding applause, in honor of the enjoyment the crowd - dispersed, happy and in au orderly manner, except that a few,(as is often the case even in religious gatherings in the open air,)forgot that they could and were' intended to be honorable citizens of a free country, n,nd seemed to have enlisted under the standard and authority of king Alcohol, for they made night hideous with their brawls. I heard many, who pere present, ob serve, that it was more than they expected from so small a place, and that to the few gen erous business men, at whose private expense this celebration had been prepared. was due the gratitude, good will, and patronage of the community, for amusements of this kind *e attended with expense and labr. ' By ONE, WLIO WAS PRESENT I lOW ,To MAKE CURRANT WlNE.—This article, as usually manufactured, is rather a cordial, than a wine, and is entirely inferior to the common wine; but, when properly Made, it will be a very superior healthful-bev erage, particularly for suimmer drink, when fully diluted with water. We have experi mented carefully on the making of currant wine, and the following will be found to give a result, Which we have found no difficulty in selling in large quantities, at $1 per gallon : Before pressing -the juice from the currants pass them between a pair of rollers to crush them, after which they may be placed in a strong bag, and they will part with the juice readily by light pressure, such as a common screw, weights, tkm, To each quart of juice, add three. pounds of treble refined loaf sugar —single refined is not sufficiently pure—then add as much water as will make one gallon.— Or, in other words, suppose the cask intended to be used be 30. gallons. In this put thirty quarts of currant star, ninety pounds of dou ble refined sugrir, and fill the cask to the bung with water ; roll-it,ovor until the sugar is all dissolved. This will be told-by its ceasing to settle in the barrel. Next day roll it again, and place it in a cellar, where the temperature will be sure to be even, leaving the bung loose for the free admission of air. In the course of two or three days, fermentation will commence. In placing the ear to the bung hole, a slight noise will he heard, such as may be observed, when carbonic acid is 11111 aping from cham pagne or soda water. Fermentation will con tinue for a few weeks, converting the .sugar, into alcohol. As soon as this ceases, drive the bung in tightly, and leave the cask for , six months, at the end of which time the wine nifty be drawn off perfectly clear,* and without any excess of sweetness.—Rcaeling Times.i RETURN OF TILE NATIONAL GUARDS. --The National Guard, Capt.
