Curtin, OF (lENTItE COUNTY COI3'MY rifItEITENG. , The 'prelithinar3i,County. meeting of the Re publican party wil4be held on the coming Sat urdaY, at the public house of Mr. B. P. Belsel .Upper Macungie. We trust. that the call of the Epoutive County Committee may insure a genera and full attendance from all parts of -the county. The friends of a cause, glori ous in principle, and this fall, destined to be crowned with a signal victory, may effect good by mutual consultation, receive encouragement to effort in the presence of others, who testify by their presence and their numbers, that that they are up and doing, and prepared for the effort; which the election should call forth. At times it has been our lot to attend county meetings, when we were almost disheartened by the slimness of the attendance. We are glad to say that things have changed for the better for the prist•year or two, and believe that the Change for the better is still going on. Let it be telt, that there is a Republican party in the county of Lehie and that the party is a power, , equal to the•necessities demanded by victory. - We enter the contest,. confident of .eleetibg a President and Governor. Our suc cess here Mir candid enemies must acknow ledge. Let the State and national victories impending inspire us with the determination to achieve victories in our Congressional Dis trict, in our Legislative District, and upon our County -ticket. We elected a Congressman in 1858; we believe we Can elect one again this fall. We elected a Republican member of Assembly in 1858 and 1859, from the counties of Lehigh and Carbon; we believe that this fall- we cum elect bOth members. We have been partially successful with the County tick et for the past two years and believe, that we can do better in the election before us than at any time in.the past: To accomplish this re quires effort, incessant, untiring, general and judiefoup effort. That effort may not call for the greatest amount of display, but is effort, which'may: be still rewarded in its results.— Let then the.Republioans of Lehigh meet in council, disposed to forget everything but the success of the cause. Let there be a gene ral attendance of the Republicans of the ~ CountY'On'the coming Saturday. HICICHA . N Ms FIELD.—On Tuesday evening last,. the Hon. John Hickman, the able and distinguished Representative from the Choker district of this State, a supporter of Eixchtinan, in 1856, in Concert Hall, at Philadelphia, made his first political , speech .Itibchalf of the, Republican cause. Mr. Wok- Feaa ip a held, honeit and resolute man and ‘,during the last. few years of his Congressional career,; has taken a position entirely indepen_ 'dent , of parties. His +course, generally, has been in conjunction with the Republicans. In '1858,1e was elected to Congress in a Repub lican district, although there: wore two other candidates, each.of • them a regular nominee, /the one a candidate of the Republican Party, andihe other ,the nominee of the . Democratic Party. We believe, that his ,idection, this fall, ti is ceitainty and that by an overwhelming majority. On Eriday last, a largo assealblage of the Republicans, of Chester County, was held at West Chester, said to number as many as twenty.five thoUsand, and was addressed by Col: Andrew - G. 'Curtin, Hon. Thomas P. Ctuipbell, and the Hon. John Hickman. REPORT: or TEll COVODE COMMITTEE.—The House ordered 30,000 copies of the report of 'the Covode Investigating Committee. The work is from the press and ready for deliv ery to tile public.' We understand, that Mr. " ends% the principal agent of .tho President ,in. his villainous iniquities, has refused to de liver the : work to the printer of the 'House, under the pretext of some alleged dispute.— We suppOse that this is a trick of the Govern ment to keep.frorn•the people before the elec tion the exposure of its iniquities. Let us by all means have the' report. A Democratic Congressman, being asked by a Republican Member of Congress to exchange his copies of the report fdr other Congressional documents, refused' tlo 'do Stating his ,determination to commit all tbe copies, of work, which he re . • coned, tothe aspic!. . .

They oppose all efforts to feria a fusion `electoral ticket tieket in'their Stites with .the friends of. Breckenridge. The inevitable 're sult Of their efforts must be to elect Lincoln President. ,At the same time they are loud in their elaiins of the regularity of their nomina tione,ind,tbeir conformity to party usages and puStonno, , ..They represent the Democratic par ty and , all others are rebels. What then can be their present object ? kis to capture and take eharge of the Democratic organiza tion and to control it for future nominations. 1n1864, it is alleged, that the Demobracy must unite under the lead of Douglas, and their fa vorite chieftain will then be elected President. But the supporters of Breckenridge are 'also fighting the same desperate game. Which is most likely to succeed? We believe, and we think' that we have reasons for believing, that in this desperate game, . : the supporters of Breckenridge will be successful. Let us enu merate a few reasons for thinking so. In the United• States Senate Breckenridge is support ed by all isee Democratic Senators, save two, Senator Pugh of Ohio and Douglas himself.— ' In the House of Representatives at least four fifths of the Democratic Representatives are opposed . to Douglas and in favor of Brecken ridge: The-changes since the nomination have been in favor of Breehenridge. The Southern Democracy has become more and woe consolidated in support of Breckenridge, and by the time of election, we believe that there will be loft scarce a relic of a Douglas party in the Southern States. Already in the State of Georgia, where it is claimed that Dou glas has many able and influential supporters, his friends have united with the supporters of Bell upon a common electoral ticket. • In the Northern States the changes have been like wise adverse to Douglas. Newspapers, which at first supported Douglas, now support Breck enridge. We have heard of no changes the other way. Breckenridge was nominated and will be supported in pretty solid column . by Democratic States. Douglas was nominated by delegates from Republican States and the utmost, that his running can, do, will be to divide the Democracy in States,' already Re publican. As to principles avowed, we be lieve, that:the supporters of Douglas are stem ming . the current against the pro-slavery ten dencies of the Democratic party. Douglas took the lead, in repealing the Missouri Compro mise, in making the Democratic party a victori ous party as a consequence in all the Southern States, save one, and consigned it to hopeless defeat in the Northern States, in many of which the party' had been before victorious. The Douglas movement is a rebellion against the tyranny of the South over the Democratic party. It occupies the same relative 'position in the Democratic party, as does the Republi can party in the politics or the nation. We believe in view of these facts, when the fall's election has made them more palpably evident, that the Democratic party must unite, if unite it will, finally under the lead of those, who now support Breckenridge, who are true to the past tendencies of the party, and who control the Democratic States. Can Senator Douglas expect, in view of his past bitter denuncia ciationof the Republican party, and his treach ery to the North, that the Republican States will, rally to • his support and make for him a powerful party, which he could not expect to muster in •the Democratic ranks? Most mew- , edly not. The Republican party is too power ful for such a surrender and the position of Douglas himself but vindicates their past ac tion. Judge Douglas then, we believe, must be crushed out. Where then will his friends go? Many will go back to the Democratic fold. Many will land in the bosom of the Re publican party. Many have landed there al ready, John Hickman among the more noted, and many others are on the way. 'That Judge Douglas will 'ever be a Republican, we will not venture to assert.' We have no confidence in his honesty. Judging from the past, he might become' a Republican or a violent pro slavery Democrat. If he eyer does become a Republican, it will be because of the circum stances, in which he finds himself, and he will then be about as sincere a Republican as has been a sincere Democrat. We repeat then, that we have no objections to seeing aDouglas Democrat. Many of them are sincere. They have felt the lash, the South has held over the Democratic party and have rebelled. The Re publican party has felt the lash, the South has held over the Union and therefore have rebel led. Many of these Douglas Democrats we expect to take by the hand and welcome into our party, if not this fall, at least in the course of a year or so. Such as have pluck •enough to stick to their colors and not ignobly surren der them to the power, which has controlled the Democratic party and which eventually must control it again, we are certain, would make .good Republicans and therefore would be welcomed to our ranks. !MEE ACQUITTAL or JUDGE TERRY. —By latest in telligence from California, we learn, that Judge Terry was acquitted of the murder of Broderick, under the following circumstances. The trial took place at Marion, and shows a collusion between the prosecution and defen dant to procure a. verdict of acquittal.. The witnesses, establishing the guilt of Terry, were all on their way from San Francisco to Marion in a small boat. They wore delayed e 9 that they did not reach the court house until about 12 o'clock. Judge Hardy opened the court at 9 A. M. The District Attorney announced that his witnesses had not made their appearance. The case went to the jury without a word of testimony, and, under the charge of Judge Hardy, a verdict of acquittal was rendered be fore 10-o'clock; ARRIVAL. OF TIIE PRINCE OF WALES.—The Prince . of Wales arrived at St. Johns, New Foundland, on'Tuesday, the 24th inst.. The Prince was publicly received by the public authorities of the city. Ho expressed hini self highly pleased with 'the people of Now Foundland. • • cols 8, that no Republican'', ' UNION: The cry of distinion in to' be repeated again Vdtriltll;*iii4 4 B6firte - -frightett:Reptthilettne , from their party and tlleir, principio , .. To at tempt disunion, because aiiarty, :in fiedo ,4 rdance with the, forms of the:Cionatitution, \ . shoceeds in elevating its . candidate to • the.' :iieSidential chair, isilo become a rebel to the GOvertiinent. The fundamental principle of oir.free Gercirri- . :nent is .i .thati ate maj0110; in ateordance with requirententi or,the Conetitntion, govern. This principle lost sight of, and anarchy ensues.. We ¬ believe, that a formidable number of the citizens of this county would atempt-dis , union. We have no opinionof the sincerity of those, .. who threaten disunion. We judge of the iir6sent and the future by the past, and so judging;: we can arrive at no other conclusion; *than that the cry of .disunion is a political trik, Fug-a,boo, 'to frighten the wavering and the timid front the principles, which their consciences approve. Why is this cry of disunion usually heard upon the eve of an elec tion? Why is it that letters, containing those threats, are simultaneously brought to public attention in Northern papers. If their authors were in earnest, they would keep such threats to themselves until the happening of the con tingency,. requiring their execution. We be lieve, that the interests of the people of all sections of the Union would prevent a dissolu tion. Southern slave-holders are not so fool ish, as to precipitate a political revolution, which could only bring the Canada line near er to their borders. We believe that there is no power, which could effect a dissolution and that the patriotism of an indignant people would instantly crush to earth the traitorous band, that would attempt to topple to its foun dations that glorious edifice of Republican Gov ernment, which the blood of out forefathers purchased, and their efforts erected and conse crated. But what reason has any portion of the people to talk or even meditate disunion before an open encroachment upon their rights? Let a Republican Administration be inaugurated, let it bo tried and the sincerity of its professions be tested, and then only let disunion he talked of. Taut the cryof disunion requires no notice, The peOple will be deceiv ed by it no longer. The trick 'is played out, The people demand an honest, competent and faithful Administration, and demand the elec tion of " honest Abe Lincoln." And elected he will be, and we have no fear for the conse quences. • DOUGLAS STATE MASS MEETING.—A State Convention of the friends of Douglas and Johnson in Pennsylvania, was held at Harris bUrg, on Thursday last. The Convention was called to order by Richard Haldeman, Esq., member of tho Douglas National Executive Coin mittee from Pennsylvania. The Convention permanently organized by the appointment of Hendricks B. Wright of Luzorne, as perma nent Chairman. Lehigh county was repre sented by Gen. Geo. Fry, J. A. Kramer and Robert E. Wright, Esq. Resolutions were passed, condemning the action of the State Central Committee upon the question of an electoral ticket, demanding a reversal of its action at the next meeting of the . Committee, and resolving that in case this should not be done, the Douglcs members of the Committee act as the State Central Committee of the State, and that a call be issued for a State Conven tion to determine upon an electoral /ticket.— The members of the Convention in their speeches claimed to represent the regular nom inees of the party and expressed a desire to avoid any violation of the precedents and usages of the party. An address will he is sued to the Democracy of the State. WIDE AWAKE CIXIIS.—The several Wide Awake Clubs now formed, or those about to form themselves into Clubs can.procuro uni• forms at Albany, by addressing the Secretary of the Albany Central Wide Awake Club, Ira Porter, Jr., or on application by a letter, and an enclosure of two letter stamps, a circular with engraving of uniform, which will be furnished at $1.55, $1.75 or $2, as parties may select,'the circular explaining difference in the uniform. All Wide Awake Clubs formed or forming are requested to send names of nfficors, for the purpose of arranging a plan of correspondence for the coming campaign. Republican papers are requested to give publicity to the above information. PROSPECTS IN THE STATE.-T)10 reports from different parts of the State, are most flattering for the success of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin in the old Keystone. It is said, that Lancas ter will roll up a larger majority than she over gave,before, that the same is the case in Ches ter, an that Franklin will give a majority of 800. Buchanan, we believe, had a majority in the last-named county, in 1856. The 'Berks and Schuylkill Journal says, that, in old Berke, the opposition will succeed about as well as in the Schwartz campaign. Old Berks. let it be remembered, gavo nearly 7,000 ma jority for Buchanan, in 1856. Tho majority for Lincoln can not be loss than fifty thousand in the old Keystone, fusion or no fusion. TUE POLITICAL CONVENTIONS OF NEW ;TER SEY.—The friends of Breckenridge * and Lane ; of Douglas and Johnson, and of Bell and Ever ett met 'in Trenton, on Wednesday last, in three separate conventions. The Breckenridge convention adopted an electoral ticket, with three Brpckkridge men on it, three Bell men, and one Douglas man. The Douglas conven tion adopted a straight Douglas electoral tick et and voted against any fusion with the sup porters of Breckenridge. The friends of Bell also adopted an electoral ticket, two of the mem: bore of which are on the ticket, adopted by the Breckenridge convention. A fusion with the other parties was voted down. ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DEFAULTER.—Major Sutherland, quarter-master of the Marine Carps, has proved a defaUlter to the .Govern ment to the amount of $30,00. This is but another of the many constantly occurring in stances of Goiermnent swindling by the offi cials of James Buchanan. A more, corrupt body of officials has been unknown iu the his tory of the past AdMinistrations of the Gov ernment. And yet a party, that has placed Mich men in power, is asking at the hands of the people for a fresh lease of power. Will not the people, in view of the past, demand a wholesome change? TILE UNITED STATES AGRICCTURAL SOCIETY'S Exhibitioit Will be held: at Cincinnati, coin mencing September 12th and ending on• the 20th. The premium list amounts to $20,000. No cnttle will be received, on account of the pleuro-pnetunonia, but large premiums are offered for horse ', machinery, steam tire engines &e.; in other words, the leading feature of the exhibition will be the horse ring. Serena e "to -Col' Curtin. Col. Andrew G. Curtin was serenaded on t"d 6 T- 'ask 'br aft the Republicans ,:of Philadelphia. The Colo nel had returned;; . en Saturday, from -alarge political gathering, in Chestercounty, and was 'stopping at the Girard Hcinso,;Most: : of-sthe Repnblican4fitibrof thili;ertiNirere ix theTro , • - Cession, and the:display is said' to have :Amon one, of the" finest and largest witnessed for years. Senator • Cameron also, delivered. a brief speebh; The following is the reply of Col. Curtin'in response to the serenade. My friends arid . fellow-citizen's t. I have no voice to express to you the feelings of grati tude-that swell up from my heart, On this ovi donee of your kindness. [Here the multitude sent uir a torrent of cheers; and order wits loudly called for.] Mr, Curtin continued;_ it can scareely be expected that order can be 15i or that .the voice of any one man is strong enough to be heard over such a mein.: tude of people, and especially when a iida• of liquid fire is passing through cur midst.— [That's so, and cheers.] • Feltow-citizens—l-have heard much of the dissolution of the union of these State's, but it has been from timid men who have feared that men could dissolve the Union. It is in vain for dissenting politicians, fbr fanatical gentle men of the South to cry dissolution of the Union. It was never formed and fashioned to be divided by 'such means. It-was formed for higher, loftier and holier purposes. Let no man charge the People's party of Pennsylva with being in faVor of a dissolution of this Union. [No, no.] I roll back with indigna tion the imputation in the face of the man who dares make it. The fact is that the Peo ple'if Party , of Pennsylvania is now, and ever has been, loyal to the Union. [Cries of good, good, and cheers.] Paralyzed . be the hand that could be ruthlessly laid upon the Consti tion, and palsied be the tongue that could be venomous enough to utter n syllable against it. [Thunders of applause, cheers, roll of drums, and waving of flags.] • 'Humble man as •I am, if I ever supplied that the party which has placed me in nomi nation was in favor of dissolving the Union of these States, and of the Constitution, I would resign my nomination quick ae light. (Cries of good and cheers.] I say the man who dares declare that the People's party of Pennsylva nia is not loyal to the Union, tells what, in the living lighter day, is false and untrue, I Chiiers. I Fellow-citizens: You have done much for the development of the material wealth of Pennsylvania. You have stretched your iron arms into the interior of the State, and you have developed the treasures of the mountains, anti brought toyour City the products of the valley and the far-off woods. To produce per feet harmony, between the interests of the State and the country, and that kindness of feeling which should exist between the people of the State and their great metropolis, you need but one thing, and that is protection to your labor, [here the applause was absolutely deafening,] and there is but one way to get protection to your labor; by developing the power, your wealth, increasing your prosper ity and enlarging your resources as a State ; it is this, the partisan power at Washington must ho turned out, and better men put there.— (Cries of " do it," "we'll do it," and cheers.) Let no miscreant cry of disunion turn freemen from the path of their first duty to their State and to themselves ; (Cries . of we're wide awake.) Ever loyal to - the Union, let the People's Party of Pennsylvania strong in their might resolve most determinedly to have protection to their labor. The advancement of the States depends .upon the full development 'of their wealth, which at once progresses into the ripened pros perity and happiness of the people. [Cheers and clapping of hands,] It is for this devel opment that we have arrayed onrselvesagainst the tyranny of usurpation, and already have we crippled the giant that would prostrate the people, by shutting their mills and their man ufactories. Already the dawn is (milting after this long night of darknesq. The sweet song of grati tude begins to fall in the sweet accents of har mony on our enraptured ears, and as sure as the bright light of the progress ot• civilization has banished the gloomy darkness of igno rance, so will we hurl front power those parti zans that .have clouded the prospects of the people of our nation at large. (Greet cheers.) That Constitution we so much admire and cherish was made in this City ; the Declaration of Independence was first written, and declar ed, and approved in this City, and from that time to the present the people of Philadelphia and of the State at large, have ever been loyal to both of them. [Renewed applause.] Penn sylvania, situated midway between the North and the Smith. has been appropriately styled the Keystone State of the Federal arch, and I may say, without fear of contradiction that the names appropriated to the geographical fea tures of the country stand witness to 'the con servative ideas of its people. Through thdad vancenient of the interests of labor and protee in our State, the Peoples party will triumph. [Cries of that's so.] Fellow-citizens: I said on the 22nd of Feb nary that Iwould bear the hamper of my part from Lake Erie to the Delaware river. 1 have only reversed, the line of march. The banner is unfurled. lam in the field. It is the bond that I shall carry it to Lake Erie, and I will do it. [Cheers.) I will be faithful to the cov enant and the conditions of my contract. Let other men do as they will in the face of the intelligent and honest people of my native State, and I will tell them all the principles I advocate and the measures they may expect from me. Now, follow-citizens I thank you for this testimonial of your kindness, and bid you a very good night., Mr. Curtin then retired amidst deafening cheers. THE PENNSYLVANIAN FOR BRECKENRIDGE.— The Pennsylvanian of Philadelphia, after a lopg interval of non-intervention in the fam ily quarrel since the split of the Democracy at Baltimore, has finally hoisted the names of Breckenridge and Lane. The political cur rent in the Democratic ranks is rapidly setting iu in favor of Breckenridge and against Don= glas. 07-A County Meeting of the People's party will be held in goading; on the Cali of August. Isaac Ilazelhurst,' Esq., of Philadelphia, the straight-American candidate for Governor in 1857, will address the meeting. Mr„..gazel horst, like most other supporters .of }Unon in 1.85t1, heartily supports, Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin. ELECTIONT TO COIIE ore.—State elections will soon begin to take place. On the 3tl of Au: gust, in North Carolina, an election fur State officers will take place, and in Arkansas, Tex as, and Missouri, elections will be held on the Gth of the same month for State officers . and members of Congress. • [l:7lL'he ,Pemberton mill, at' Lawrence, will soon be completed. It is to be one story high er than before. It will manufacture coeton and woolen goods, and employ one thousand hands. We trust that the awful lesson taught by the late disaster will not be lost upon the present builder. Itet—We chew Mimeo, and the Ilindoos take lime. The children of this country delight in candy, those of Africa in rock salt. A Frenchman " goes in " on fried frog, while an an Esquimaux Indihn thinks a stewed can kle the climax of .dainties. Thus folks differ. • 0r..70n Monday and Tuesday, Of Nat week, a fishing party, numbering about one hundred and twenty-fire men, went to Thompson's dam; in Porter township, Schuylkill county, and, in two days, succeeded in catching about a ton of fish. • ..Cautioned—the farmers, by sonic Dem ocraticpapprs, to " keep a sharp lookout .for their rails.' Is Postmaster Fowler about'? PoUrinal Excitement .in A number of Republicans of a village ; of pole, at the top of which ;floated- a,:flag,:firt.. ecribed"with the miring of Lincoln and }Lim lin, xt was erected on the premises of.a..snii *lei of Bell and Everett, who had even his consent for its' erection. It wegf .ininoted the neighborhood, that the Democrats intended ta'eut'down the pole and threatened violence to all, who would resist. • Llformation was. sent by the Republicani to Governor Letcher; Who promised assistance,to prevent an Outbreak,— On Friday last, a company of forty men. under .command of Capt. W. Fitzhugh and Mayor Carter, with the consent, if not ,eptinivanee of 0 ov. Letcher's Prince William's Cavalry COrps, • who were present, proceeded to cut down the pole. • MIMI' past three o'clock the Prince.Will iam.Calvar7, Capt. Thornton commanding, en tend the village, and ranged themselves in the neighborhood of the pole. They wore follow ed by a company of about forty strong, under command of Captain Fitzhugh and Major Car ter, who, paying no attention whatever to the horsemen, quietly formed in a hollew vinare around the pole, facing inwards. Whilst this Company was surrodnding the pole,.Mr. Joseph T. Jadney advanced to the captain of the troop of horse and claimed protection for. his proper ty, upon which the pole stood. At the word of command, James W. Jack son of Fairfax, a stalwart yeoman. sprung for ward and gave the first blow. Others followed, redoubling stroke on stroke. Paring the time there was no interruption, save the Republi cans and others, who stood at corners near by, would cry out, ' Ain't your axe dull? Hope you're having a good time," &0.. In a few minutes:however, there was a cry of " Stand from under !" and the pole came to the ground. Instantly the crowd gave three elicits, when the Republicans responded by " Three cheers for Hamlin." All were quickly at work on the fallen pole, and in less time than it takes to tell it was chopped up, and the pieces car ried off.. The flag was sent to Brentsville. So soon as the flag pole was leveled, Captain Fitzhugh ordered " about face" and his com pany marched off, saluted as they went by mingled jeers and applause. During the 'evening there was some excite ment, and a personal recontre took place be tween Colonel Browner and Joseph T. Janney in which the latter was ennsiderbaly injured. The crowd cleared away during the' evening and at sundown all was quiet. The Republicans say they will put another pole on the same site. A report reached here to-night, through par ties who wore at Occoquan yesterday, that the greatest excitement prevailed at that place when they left ; that several Republicans hail been attacked, and severe tights resulted. One statement is that Mr. Janney, a Bell and Ever ett man—an old settler in Virginia, a large property holder, and the owner o( the land on which the liberty polo was erected—was bra tally assailed and beaten because he asserted that he had the right to declare his own prin ciples upon his own homestead, and to permit others to exercise their rights within his own grounds if it pleased him to do so. Narrow Escape./row Death .—On the Indiana and Cincinnati railroad, a pleasure party rode a short distance, when they alighted and stood around on the small platform, covering it com pletely, waiting to see the cars move before leaving for the woods. , Just as the train start ed, the skirt of one of the young ladies, who happened to be standing close td the train, caught on a nut on the side of one of the ears, throwing her from her feet. Very finiunately the train *as moving quite slowly at the time, or the consequences might have been more se rious. As it was, the young lady was pretty roughly wed. A stout man in the party, see ing her condition, at once raised her ip his arms and pulled with all his. strength, endeavoring to tear her loose, but the skirt was both strong and firmly fastened, and not until all the girl's under-clothing was pulled froM her body and her dress torn to shreds did he succeed. All this transpired while the train was moving a distance of twenty or thirty font. whnn ductor saw the danger and instantly checked its motion. Indeed, the girl was not entirely released until the train had stopped. _After the excitement Of. the moment had passed it was discovered that the soles of both the girl's shoes, by the, resistance she had offered the train, had been completely stripped away, leav ing the uppers upon her feet. Strange to say she received no serious in] Indianaury. paper. A Young Lady Kilted by Wad from a Can non.—On Tuesday night, .July 24th, at Po•ts mouth, N.

Experiments were tried at a scientific meeting in Edenhurg which satis fitetory demonstrated the fact that a crinoline dress, after being steeped in a solution of sul phuret of ammonia refused to ignite, the only effect of fire being to char it. Ammonia is a very Oleo!, commodity, and Ladies of all ranks and degrees can render themselves in combustible at a very trifling expense. hut though crinoline thus prepared may not itself turn we fear it will still possess the quality of kindling as many flames as ever: Ife — We shall be obliged to any of our read eys, in this, or adjoining counties, who will contribute to the local department of our pa per.
