A TIIIRD REASON why T. C. Kernalien, of
the Allentown China, Glassware and Lamp Store

more than any two In the county put together.

set of staff and chime bells from the Citizens Band

powers of the Band will make It one of the most
attractive In the State. One other band lu this

THE MAYORALTV.—In the ensuing fah elec
tion one of the most important officers our voters
will Se rolled upon to elect is the Mayor. The
importance of the office is not shown by the amount
of salary paid. The duties of that officer are infer
nos and upon his fitness for the position and the
energy with which he may perform his duties de

fare of our city. So far tis we have been able to

George Erdman, Esq., of the firm of Thayer, Erd

shout the tender of the engine hecatne loose and
was :striking against the rocks projecting to with-
hi a few Inches of the road in the neighborhood of
Mogee's quarries. Mr. Rittenhouse, hearing an
unusual noise, is supposed to hava looked oat of
the window to see what was the matter, and In
doing so came in contact with a such, which
struck Mtn on the back pait of the head with
force enough to turn up the :hull and causing his
eye and forehead to strike violently against some
portion of the locomotive. Ile remained sitting
as If nothing had happened and it it as not known
that anything was wrong until the train arrived
at Norristown. It Is customary here to whistle
down brakes and to detach the lintontotive from
the train, permitting tiro former 10 run throneli

THE STATE FAIR.—The Statit Agricultural
Fair will lake place, this year, at Scranton, Sep
tember 97,211,911 and lilt. Preparations are being
made to Insure a grand success. There are to be
three large buildings, besides twin large teals.
The Home Department will occupy a building ISO
Net lung it, subtliVided Into convenient
sections, for the display of musical instruments,
sewing tatichines, and in fact almost 'every im
aginable article connected with this department.
A great feature in this building Is the convenience
afforded visitors to witness articles on exhibition,
entering or leaving. without being Jammed almost
to death In some of thenarrow passage ways, as
Is too often the case at public buildings. Mr. F.
D. Hower, of Norristown, who hostile control over
this department, has gone to considerabl2 trouble
to have the building US convenient as It is possible
to snake it, and Judging from n draft exhibited to
us he will succeed without a doubt.
12,872 01 843,007 00
Another building, 250 by ::l0 feet, will be devoted
to the display of agricultural Implemeats.
A third building, of the same dimensions as the
last named, will contain stoves, heaters, ranges,
carriages, etc.
- A tent, 00 by . 110 feet, will be devoted' to fruits,
vegetables, etc., and another to flowers, etc.
The Fair will no doubt be a success, as the lo;
cality lu which it is to be held affords ample ma
terial to make it so.

A QuEsTroN rots Soaosts.—A great and
mighty question is puzzling the brain of one of our
et:temporaries. It is: Why can girls dress as
lightly as they do and still keep warm ? lie has
not arrived at the sohnion of the problem, but
adds to Its mystery by giving his experience an
follows:—" We once rode with a girl, In an open .
cutter, fifteen miles, on one of the coldest nights
In winter, and while we rat frozen nigh ns stiff as
it stake, our teeth chattering li'o castanets, she
kept up an animated conversation, every now and
then exclaiming 011, Isn't this delightful 7
Don't you enjoy it D When we arrived nt our
destination, notwithstanding we were dressed a
great deal warmer than our fair companion, she
had to Ilft us out of t he cotta rand conduct its to the
tropical at mosphere of the kitchei, of a farm house.
On the return trip we were frozen to death, and
she drove the corpse home. It must be that girls
are tougher than we taco people."
HARM/WINO -AIIAJNOT DIIILLINI,.—We are
informed that tents at the Experimental Farm of
Penns3ivania, during the present season, have
demonstrated the fact that harrowed-in wheat
produces a better crop than drilled-1m In every
Instance where the experiment . was tried. the pro
duct of the broadcast sowing exceeded the drilled
10 or 15 per cent. But better testimony in favor
of the harrow-in plan Is furnished by the experi
ence of Adrian Cornell, one of the most ob:wvatit
and practical fanners of ithelis county, who long
ago discarded the drill, and now broadcasts all his
wheat and oats. Ile says that wheneverhis neigh
bors who use the drill, ran. grow as much wheat
owl nn aere as he obtains, then he will drill also;
and it is his opinion that the drill buries the seed
too deep. This is a subject well worthy the atten
tion of all our farmers, and It would be well for
those who use the drill altogether, to broadcast an
acre or two in the Sallie Mae where they use the
drill, the coming fall, by way of practical expert
mcnt.

CRUEL TO SWELL. A Cow's PnriEn ?"—ln May

the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals, cawed the arrest of John Kennedy, a prom
tient citizen of Port Kennedy, Montgomery county,
On the charge of cruelty to animals.
NOITI,IoWit Defender Informs us that "Mr.
Kennedy Is a' well-known cattle-dealer, and has
been In the habit of muzzling the cows' calves for
front twenty to twenty-four how, previous to the
sale, for the purpose or " bagging" or swelling
the rows' udders. This the Society claimed to be
cruelty In the eye of the law. The Commonwealth
had the oath aml testimony of the agent of the
Society to support the charge. Mr. Kennedy
brought forward purchasers of one half the cows
alleged to have been cruelly treated, who swore
to the contrary.
Cot. Janie: , Lloyd explained to the Jury the
nicanbig• of the Oct of Assembly as to what consti
tuted cruelty to animals, and by way of illustra
tion stated' that i❑ ease it Ily should alight . on
his face, and he, instead of saying "Shoo fly,
don't budder me, with a gentle gesture of ti!nlinLid
by wa3 or oo odomoition to his •ItyAiip, ,,
suddenly kill the fly, It would not .come under the
head of the act of Assembly for the prevention of
cruelty to animals.
Or in case a honey, bee should alight on the top
of his head for a lump of loaf-sugar, and on find
ing its mistake, In Its rage should plunge Its sting
Into his sealp,aud he should crush the intruder on
his bald head, it would not conic under the act of
Assembly referred to.
'This being the first ease of the kind in this
Court, much loterest was felt In the result, as It Is
a Common custom for farmers and dealers In cat
tle to let their cows go untnliked for it period of
twenty to thirty hours, for the purpose of swelling
their udders, previous to Hiles, so that buyers might
notlee any Imperfections about the udder or teats,
If such imperfections existed, as it wits impossible
otherwise.
Messrs. D. 11. Multwry, Livezey, and District
Attorney Bush appeared on behalf of the Com
tnonwealtb ; Cot. James Boyd and Hon. B. M.
Boyer on behalf of the defendant. The case oc
cupied considerable time. The Jury - rendered a
verdict of not guilty, and pat the costs on the
county.
INFORNIATION VIANTEIL—On the 12th of .
July a letter was left at this office containing a
sum of money, which, we believe, was sent In

THE MAYOEALTI. —As ,the time before the

either of whom would make a strong candidate

will be the better for It.

fortunate in sccurhit the full proportion of circu

surplus of P:S0,000, which the Bank generally car

A L. ExcunsloN.—Yesterday week an
extra train of eleven cars arrived immediately
after the regular morning train on' the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. It contained five or six hundred
excursionists, principally from Plainfield and other
stations ninug the Central Railroad, u•ho had
come all the way from the Jerseys to visit the
principal city of the Lehigh Valley. 'The excur
sion was gotten up under the auspices of the La
fayette Chapter, It, A. M., of Plainfield, and those
who participated have reason to be grateful to the
managers fur the excellent manner in which the
ulPth was conducted.
At the depot were a number of omnibuses and
street ears to convey the passengers to the hotels
or to the grove. Of course all could not be ne.
emamodated with transportation and the balance
adopted the it:wield conveyance provided by
shank's mare. The Eagle and American Hotels,
and the Al len : House provided dinner for the guests,
and having satisfied- the .era vings-of locrippetite
produced by the bracing air of Allentowmproceed
ed to 0 riesetner's grove,where a platform had been
erected, and passed the afternoon tripping the light
fantastic toe to the tousle of an excellent string
b.tuil which accompanied the party. They return
home that evening and we hope they carried
with them the most pleasant recollections of their
trip to Allentown.

60111 C remarks hi yesterday's issues In replying to
the Allentown Chronicle, advising him to post
himself better about the population of South Beth

than yourself. Be speaks of South Bethlehem,
the real, genuine South Bethlehem of our own
glorious county of Lehigh, not of that borough of
many names in Northampton county• The new
South Bethlehem "started in the world about 20
years ago, under the name of Augusta,' as
deeds of lots about that time will verify. After
Col. Wetherill located the zinc works In the place,
which made it valuable and of some mark, It was
named Wetherill by the then proprietors of had,
In honor of the Colonel. This name It ought yet
to bear. Something happened, however, which
di.turheil the temper of some of the proprietors,
and the feeling of gratitude, which had prompted
them to adopt that name died away, and they had
the extreme bad taste to rename it, and call it
Bethlehem South, although maps and townplots
published by them called the "Plan of Wetherill'”
and their own deeds for lots at that period, styled
It so—some conscience was then left then,. They
did not rob its, or try to rob us, of our entire
ulna% By the time, however, that they applied
for an act of Incorporation to erect the pla'ee into
borough, this wan smoothed ov'er, and they now•
grow and trooper under a name stolen from us—
lacking, however, the privilege of subscribing
themselves, as I do.

PIPES IMPORTANT FACTS NOR HOUSE
BOLE lens.—Among the things essential to health,
and which receives so little attention, Is the pet
ting in of water pipes suitable to the kind of water
furnished our city. Many of the houses erected
here, as elsewhere, are put up to sell and the
builders let no opportunity slip of saving money.
This is commendable except where It alfects the
dunibility of the house or the health of those who
may occupy It. Even In the matter of water pipes
the cheapest kind Is hunted up and stuck hi with
out any regard to chemical laws.. We do not cx.
pect this item to create any reform hi these. In
stances, lint write it for the purpose of enlighten
ing those who are making repairs for themsel %TS
or erecting homes is which they expect their fam
ilies to reside.
In the first place, galvanized Iron pipe id cheap
—ln price, but It Is the dearest, most unendurable
pipe for limestone water that Is made. When
two metals come in contact, with the Water of this
city galvanizing commences, the pipe Is In it short
time mien away, so that it Food becomes too thin
to stand the pressure of water nod a burst is the
consequence. Besides, the family will have their
daily supply of poisonous matter, seriously detri
mental to health.
Common gas pipe is the cheapest in east and is,
therefore, much used. The water flowing through
this forms a carbonate of iron, leaving the lime in
solution, much of which adheres In places to the
Inside attic pipe and eventually fills It up, but
more, In company with thC carbonate of iron, goes
down the throats of those who drink the aqueous
fluid.
Having read thus fir some of our friends may
sec a plausible pretext for exclusive beer drinhing,
hut they must not be so fast. There Is another
kind of water pipe which Is not expensive that we
have not mentioned. B. Is lead pipe, so much
abused and discarded in soft water communltieS.
The action of our limestone water on this Is 113
follows : the carbonic acid unites with the lead,
forming an insoluble carbonate of lead which ad
heres to the Interior of the pipe. The pipe Is only
capable of receiving a thin coating, and when this
In formed no more chemical action takes 'place
anti the water forever after flows through as pure
as when It left the spring. This fact will be made
apparent upon examination of n lend pipe which
has been in use for some time. Mr. Blrehall,
plumber, has some on hand, and the coating above
referred to resists the most touching appeals of an
ordinary file.
'Besides insuring against poisonous matter, the
lead pipe will be found the most economical In
time, as it will outlastany other, and we are con
fident every chemist who has paid any attention
to the matter will support
used
In saying . it is the
only pipe that should be used in Allentown, but at
the same time none other than careful plumbers
should be employed, as careless soldering might
bring the tin in . action with the water, when
the result would he the same as with galvanized
Iron—a Franco-Prusslan battle. .

in the market, and In the dry goods and grocery
trades orders are coining in freely from country
merchants, showing small stocks ou hand and a
lively demand for immediate consumption. Pay

The South ern trade is opening, a number of buy

buying a considerable amount in rash.
There is every prospect of a good trade front the

AN OLD MADAZI:s:E UNDER A NEW NAME.
—Messrs. Charles Scribner & Co. announce that
they have organized the Magazine Department of
their bu,iness into a separate Comitany, with Dr.
J. G. Holland (Timothy Titcomb) and Roswell
C. Smith as part owners, under the !mine of Scrib
ner & Co. The new arrangement will commence
with the ovember windier of Ole Magazine. Dr.
Holland will conduct the editorial departniek and
Mr. Smith will he authorized to represent its busi
ness Interests. At the seine time, the Magazine
will be enlarged and illustrated, and otherwise
greatly Improved, and its name will be changed to
Scribner's Mutably.
The publishers say the change of purpose and
plan has been made to meet a popular de:nand,
and is so great a change that it has been deemed
advisable to drop the old and familiar title, even
though It has been associated with recognized ex
cellence and. popular success.
Dr. Holland, who has recently returned from
Europe, after a period of rest which his long and
unremitting literary labor rendered necessary, has
consented to embark his time and capital in this
enterprise; and American readers will need no
assurance front us that oile wino has proved his
capacity to meet the wants of the people In so
many walks of literature, and whose mine has no
associations but those of success, will make a
Magazine that will he welcomed at all the firesides
In the land. Ills books are everywhere, and his
friends are with his stinks.
The be writers proimrable In this country and
Great Britain will be employed upon the pages of
the new Magazine, and every number will he pro
fusely and handsomely illustrated.

Mit. WOODRING, Census Marshal, relates ICs
experiente as foliates :
In the lower end of the taw nship I met with
some awful hard specimens of the feminine gender.
I took them to be graduates from Five Points Col
lege. The Insults and expressions they used, I
would be ashamed to put in print. •
Now I will proceed to give you a short account
of Salmon. I must say that it has gone off right
well sn far, with bat one exception. I will,give
the conversation in this Instance, avoiding the
swearing done and the dirty words used. • We will
name the man S—. I went to his house in the
morning, for I had been all night with that perfect
gentleman, Joseph Wittman, Esq., and this said
lives not a mile away. I entered the yard,
told the kind lady my business and requested to
see her husband. She sent Intmediately.out to mho
barn for him to tome. I commenced writing dow
names us they were given to me by the lady. In
the meantime he rode by the house. I finished.
the enumeration, but the products of the farm I
had to get front the farmer himself. I, therefore,
followed him out to the field, met him In a friendly
mantles. To keep him cool I explained the object
of toy visit, etc. But, says he in German, " I'll be
if I will answer one rpiestion." I re
plied, " My good friend, you don't appear to un
derstand or you would- answer. I have written
several thousand names a n d have had no such
ease as this. How many acres Improved lands 1"
Ile answered, " forty-two acres. Now Judge for
yourself what I raised. Gld hep;" " Stop," said
I, " I will read the law first, then you may suit
yourself," I rend It. "I'll— Gll hop."
Go ahead. "1 um agoing to carry out the law ."
Then he came to his senses aid turned round on
the plough and answered all the questions put,
like a good fellow.
I visite 1 Mi. David Eguer's. 1 there ate splen
did pears of different kinds. He has a splendid
fruit lot. He Is offering It for private sale at a
reasonable price.
I will now Orb you some natural curiosities that
I met with: The first was In Salisbury, on the
land of Paul Nunuemaker and consisted of a
ter of apples, some twenty In uuniber, on a limb
only 10 inches long. The next was lu Upper
Baucon, on a lot of Mr. Rldlngton. A cluster of
'plums 24 In number, all full grown, was ou a limb
only 0 Inches In length. Next Is a chestnut tree
ou la u d of Mr. Jos. Wittman, Sauces. It meas
ures across the stump about 0 feet. The top
covers au area of 70 feet in diameter. The tree
stands near the house and bears wonderful fruit.
On the premises of Geo. Kemmerer, In Emaus, a
plumb sprout made Its way out of the ground lu
May last, and Is now nearly or quite 9 feet high.

READlNG.—Reading le a' good place for
amusements. The various parks nod pleasure
grounds in the Immediate vicinity afford ample
opportunity for the rambler to enjoy himself.
There Is no question but that one of the most en
terprising citizens of that place Is Frederick Lauer.
Among the number of his beneficent endeavors is
an elegant park, knownET Lauer's Park, which
he has fitted up in the Northern part of the city.
At this place plc-nice and pleasure parties are held
every week. Some of the most prominent assem
blW held there this season, were the gatherings of
the " Young Manerehor." A few nights ago tills
organization gave an entertainment similar to
those we read of In "ye olden time." There was
singing, dancing, gymnastics and rambling for a
whole night. The programme was arranged so
that the end would he reached about the "wee
sma" hours of night. The stately trees were hung
with Chinese lanterns and transparencies so that
the vast stretch of woods was brilliantly Illumined.
The arrangements were admirably complete. But
for the rain which put a stop to the exercises for
a short time, the whole affair was a success. An
other large concourse will assemble at this place
to-clay, under the auspices of the "German Na
tional Aid Society." Among the speakers to he
present on this occasion is Rev. B. M. Sehmucker,
D. D., formerly of Allentown. Dr. Schtnneker is
an orator of rare talents anti his heart being full
of patriotism for successful Prussia, his address
will no doubt prove a grand treat. The proceeds
will be forwarded to Germany as a relief fund for
the widows and orphans of the Prussian soldiers.
The pie-nix of the Sunday School of the First
Presbyterian church, on Friday, was held at Mill
way on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, about
IS miles from this city. The weather was
the woods delightful, the spring refreshing anti
everybody In a humor for enjoyment, so that the
plc-ulcers came home well pleased. A finer spot
could not be selected. The grove has been fitted
up for such•purposes and together with a tamed,
fel trout stream running through it,makes It a de
light fel retreat.
There are some 'people in this world, old fogies,
who are opposed to excursions, &e. We
pity them, they deserve pity, for such toll sourly
and bitterly daily and when night comes they are
tired. We ramble and frolic in pleasure and when
night comes, we are tired and we thank God for
the garden of picaeure whicli fie has given us and
the peaceful rest we enjoy afterward.—Reading

THE CAUSE OF Cif:IINIANY.—The following
is the uffilress of lion. Robert E. Wright sent to
the German Mass Meeting held at Bethlehem :
Gentlemen : I am honored by your polite and
pressing Invitation to visit Bethlehem for the pur
pose of addressing our German fellow citizens on,
the questions Involved hr the war between France
and Prussia, and our duty as American citizens
with respet to it.
Want of preparation and of sufficient time to
fluke it, coupled with the fact that I have been
unwell. for some slays, and felt therefore unable to
discharge this dully with anything likesatisfactlon
to the audience, which I know• will nssenffile out
that occasion, will, I trust, be a sufficient excuse
for my absence. But I desire to be understood,
(and embrace this opportunity of saving so,) that
with regard to the subject matter of your meeting,
I am with your heart and soul.
In the age In which we live, when the tneans of
disseminating information over all the civilized
world are so rapid and so accurate. no important
crest can happen without being generally known,
or be known without undergoing the most rigid
critielstn. The potentates and statesmen 'of the
world are nor exposed to the gaze of an audience
larger and more intelligent than ever witnessed
their actions before. No movement In the Cabi
net or the field can escape this observat7on. The
grand inquest of nations sits is Judgment out their
conduct and their motives, and has, of late years - ,
shown a marked disposition to render its verdicts
" without fear, favor, or affection."
Through this ordeal the prime movers of the
preset terrible war arc now passing, and from
the legitimate consequences of their conduct there
Is no escape. As a general thing, the people of
America have very little interest Or feeling In the
wars that are usually waged in other lands ; they
are so unlike our own In their causes and results,
that we do not feel their real value. Fighting as
we fought: first, that we might become a people;
next, that others should not withhold front us the
right that were done to us IS a people; and lastly,
that we might remalu forever awaited people—we
c.athl not hitherto with much sincerlty lament the
defeats, or exalt In the vineries abroad, In which
the Iwo; he always offred, hut In which they
never triumphed. The whole field of European
history Mt- for ages In this respect alike. King
doms were destroyed and Dynasties overthrown,
and contests In which blood Was poured out like
water, stained her soil again and again, whenever .
there was a palace to Shade, or shut out the clear,
bright light of Heaven front the peasant's tuned]
near It ; but in all these contests, the people, on
whom hue whole of all this fearful misery NB, us
though they were of no value, were ever lost in
the conflicts and forgotten in the triumphs; ex
changingsmly one oppressor for another; and
crushing out of centuries the milder for the fier:cr
tyrant. The materials of which their fetters were
. made were often change I ; often reglit and bur
nished ; but under every change they were fetters
still, and hung upon t heir limbs, and clanked ns
mournfully as ever. In such wars we as a people
had no interest; and if the war which Is now wag
ing on the continent were like most that have
preceded it, we could well afffirsi to he Indifferent
to Its results. If those who " made this battle
were the only ones to fight;' If It were a personal
combat for supremacy between he who styles him
self the King of Prussia by the Grace of God, and
he who Is most certainly the Emperor of France
by the agency of the Devil, we ,night bleSs the
"shot orsabri-stroke" that should scud one or
both of them to their fathers. But we cannot look
upon this war as It now stands with any such feel
ings, nor withhold the wish, nor doubt, the fact,
that in It, " God will clevad the right." For never
since the world began was there a more causeless
one than this! Never a morearregant exhibition
of Imperial insolence and folly, than that dis
played by the ruler of the French nation, nor any
more exemplary instance of quiet dignity and no
bility of soul sustained by conscious power, than
that which has marked who conduct of the states
, men of Prussia. Asthose whom the "gods would
destroy they first made mad;" It may be that this
last act of 'insanity Is the precursor of Napoleon's
Imperial death; the end of a dynasty that has
filled Europe with blood and tears from the first
Consulate of France to her latest Empire. Al
ready wo seem to see symptoms of his downfall ;
ascending as he did the Imperial throne, through
pecjUry and murder, be never posiessed the real
confidence of his nation ; and now, OM the ap.
pertranee of It seems leaving him. Cursed with
all the bad Ombitlon of Napoleon the First, but
1
without a tithe of his real greptuess, this effort of
his to "imitate his predecessor,'.' In the conquest
or dismemberment of Prussia, will, whether per
sisted in or not, most probably cod in his own de
struction. With the French 'as al:co* Prussia
can have no wars ; with Napoleon, they can now
have no peace I ' The wise statesmanship which
has thus far guided the Prussian King, Is widen
ing day by day the breach between Napoleon and
the people, and when this is completed, the war
will In all probability end. But If this should not
be so ; If carried away by any false idea of Na
tional Honor, aggrandizement, or extension of ter
ritory, France should adhere to his views and at
tempt to sustain than, then Heaven help that na
tion; for the tiny of its desolation Is at hand. If
they tan/ share this folly, they must also share his
fate ! • The " %um/ Nisdel" of Prussia will deci
mate the best and bravest legions France eon
insister; the cavalry of Prussia may water their
steeds In the Seine I The well trained, educated
and intelligent "Land Webr" of a nation thus
forced Into a war,will !level rest until like :he allied
armies of 1814 they sweep through the streets of
Paris ; and the world may yet see the
day when the Government of Prussia,
that now so wisely controls its own chi-
cons " Unter den Linden" in Berlin, may, for
a time at least; dictate law and enter to
its French subjects from the palace of the Tuttle
ries or St. Cloud. Our course to this matter fs
very plain. Active interference on our part as a
people Is both impossible and Illegal, and In aid
of Prussia Is especially superfluous. We are
American citizens, sad our hopes and home, are
Isere. But we can, and should, send abroad to
those of our friends who must suffer In this ml
- not only our warm •sympathy ; but should
also contribute liberally for their, relief out of the
abundance wherewith God has blessed us. , Hos
pitals will soon groan with woum:cd men. that
are bound to many In this land by tics of sal lon
allty, of friendship, and it may be by those that
are nearer and dearer ! Widows 'ard ON

dilllor•—Iu Monday's Qtrbuiele
cation calls upon Republicans to pot forward /t.
names of good men for nomination at the coming
Republican Comity Convention. Ona of t h e most
important offices to-be voted for Is that of Con
gressman. • I have thought over our boot men and
I can think of 110 one better qualitled than JOHN
H. OLIVER, Esq., of Allentown. I have .heen
acquainted with him personally for a number of
years, and I recognize in hint an ability which is
possessed by a very few of our citizens. Ile is one
of our most earnest Republicans and at the same
time he has fewer enemies among the opposition
than any man I can name. Ile is a non supporter
of a protective policy, an earnest friend to the
working classes, and I am confident a canvass of
Montgomery county would make Mtn as popular
there among the masses us lie is here.
