All the liquor of Wursberger Bros., has been confiscated for a Violation of the Revenue Laws, and several druggists, who have been selling barrels to a dealer, the stamps on which had not bee' cancelled,have gotten themselves into difficulty. It is thought that, as their offense was not with criminal intent,but was committed through ignorance, that they will be lot down lightly. There is a very heavy penalty for this neglect, him ever, and the greatest care should be taken to abide by the requirements of the law. The penalty is, we believe, not less than one nor more than ten thousand dollars, and immix. onment for not less than one year. OUR COUNTY PutsON.—A visit to this place warrants us in saying that it is one of the cleanest and best regulated prisons in the State. We do not refer to its Construction, for that has been spoken of before, but to its internal arrangements ; tho manlier in which the prisoners are cared for, and apportioned off in accordance with their of fences; how they are compelled to keep themseive, and their apartments perfectly clean. The cells would put to shame some of our modern house keepers. The utmost precaution is observed for the safety of the prisoners, the Warden permitting no one togoinside without having the door securely fastened on the outside. The food furnished Is plain, but clean, fresh and of the wholesome kind. The prisoners aro put to work weaving carpets, Which they seem to take delight In. This admir able condition of things is attributable to the per sonal supervision of Warden Jacoby, who takes great pains and pride in having everything about him In apple-pie order.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF 'FITE PENNSYLVA NIA COURTS.—TIIC pmetlee of the Courts has here tofore been, when an action for damages was brought against 0 railroad company, that the de fendantF. might claim that they used due di nurse and care to avoid accident, and the plaintiff AV:I6 to prove there was neglect. The company controlling the evidence to a great extent, it is often next to Impossible for the complainants to make out their case.' The Pennsylvania Courts now decide that the accident itself evident, or neglect. The company mast, if it can, prove the contrary, whether the accident on-es from tickets of engines, ears, or rails, or from the net of the employees. The adoption of such a role generally will he likely to lessen the humber or accidents by making the bill for damage: muck larger. .6comoTivE I.l•xcuv--.John Haddia, of on, has devised a ciu• wheel, part which is tic of rubber.

This has led •to tire ieleleetiee of numerous histories and nitrriitl . ves ou the Northern side, but until recently no anthen tie or really meritorious history had appeared on the slily of the South. The demand for such nis work was licehly felt, and there was it very gene ral feeling of satisfaction experienced throughout the eatintry, when, three years ago, It was an nouneed that the lion.

LAIIOE llmm.—Last week a party of sports men on the Lehigh Mountain caught a large num ber of wild pigeons—enough to all a wagon body, It is said. ' IRON ORE.—Mr. E. Moss, of this city, has found Iron ore In large quantities on his farm In Bucks county. The ore Is from three to eight feet thick, and It Is thought will yield n liberal per centage of Iron. Nenv ENoiNe:e. —The Lehigh Valley , 'Rail road Company has placed upon their road two new engines built by Music, at South Easton. They have four drivers, five feet In diameter, and are named Glendon and South Easton. • NARROW ESCAPE.—Friday evening as the down passenger train on the L. V. R. R., wan coining into Allentown a team attempted to cross the truck at Colt's lumber ya-d. The engineer blew down brakes and succeeded In slackening his train In time to save a smash-up. Fink.—The barn or Jesse Grim, Fsq., at is corner of Bth and Allen streets, was destroyed • tire Friday evening about 11 o'clock. A quantity f grain and a few fanning utensils were also de royed. The fire was evidently the work of an teendiary. SUICIDE. —Wm. Moyer, a married man, boarding at the hotel at Topton, committed suicide last Monday about ten o'clock, by taking poison.

ACCIDENT.—Friday evening about 6 o'clock, Andrew Rible, aged eboht 55 years, and a resident of Freemansburg, fell than a boat at Sigman's wharf on the Lehigh and was almost Instantly killed. The deceased was unmarried. Au inquest was held on the body to- day by Deputy P. F. Stier, when a verdict was rendered In accordance with the above faco. Free Press. IMPORTANT TO VOTRRH.—Many peisons are under the' impression that voters who were registered last year need not be registered again. This is a mistake. Yearly registration Is re quired, and persons who have not yet been regis tered this year should have their names placed on the list at once, an failure to attend to this im portant matter may result In the loss of a vote on the part of the careless. LECTUREA.—Our renders will be gralifii•d to learn that we are to have a number of distin guished lecturers here during the coming season. The season will be opened by Miss Anna .Dichen son, at the Court House, on the 14th of October. She will be followed, during the Winter, by De Cordova, one of the finest lecturers of *the age ; Mr. and Mrs. E. 1.. Davenport, the eminent actors; and Hon. Charles Stunner, the lending mind of the United Slates Senate. NunnEns.—Complaint having been made that the time allotted for numbering the houses of Allentown was too short, the Mayor has given notice that the penalty for not conforming with the Ordinance will not be enforced until after the first of October. We hope oar citizens will all have their stores and houses numbered before that time. The new'system of numbering Is the best that has been devised, and the Ordinance should be enforced. A COLORED Baptist clergyman preached in a certain church In Montgomery county hist Sun day, said church being without a regular minister. After service, one of the officers came up and handed him it fee of ten dollars. The minister looked at it, turned it over two or three times, cleared his throat, hesitated, and at last said : " This is all right a 3 far as It goes, brethren ; it is just right for the preachl4 In the church ; but pis I had some conversation with an impenitent sin ner on the froat'stcps, I thought fifty cents more would be the correct thing." That is the story as we heard It, and It was asserted that one of the deacons grumbled as he paid the half-dollar be cause, he said, prices ought to come down now that the war was over. STATF. FAIR AT SCRANTON.—The 'UMW exhibition of the Pennsylvania State _Agricultural Society a9ll be held at Serahlon 1111 the 27th, 23111, 20lh, and 30th of title month.

There will be a Sue display In every department, also some splendid trot ting, as the premiems offered is tilaL class are much larger than lust year. We would advise our citizens to visit the State Fair If they desire to seen line exhibition. 'rho railroad companies have reduced thick rates, and will run accommo dation trains. S BALLOONING A BREAM OF NEUTRALITY? Mr. Wells, the aeronaut, wlm has for some weeks ast bees making balloon ascents front the Gm- 'lam and Po«•dcrhall Running Grounda, Edin- burgh, Las been in communication with the Pros sine Government In regari to the employment of his balloon for military purposes. His proposals having been entertained, Mr. Wells, In obedierol to a telegraphic enormous Irmo a Prussian atice . t , has left for London, with the intention of proceed ing forthwith to the seat of war. The wronaut reckons that, with the balloon recently constructed by himsel the ciymnashon. he can maize cap- live ascents to the height of :Omni two miles,thus obtaining position from which Me.ervations may be made its 01 military movements over a wide ex tent of country. This hour be all very well for Mr. Wells' fame, but the irnza I aspect of his as sbtanee may involve us Ina breach of neutrality. TAKE CARE or YOUR ilEALTlL—Withill thirty (lily's from to-day there %vitt he many deaths which might be prevented by warmer clothing. Many a fatal case of disease Is caused by the want of a woolen undershitt or an extra blanket a gut. The sudden changes of the temperature villeh occur at this season of the year are very rying to the constitution. People with weak wigs quickly' feel the effect of them. Frequently the thermometer falls many degrees within a few hours. Not only the feeble, but robust and strong persons sulfur front such great varlatluns of tem perature: When the weather grows cold rapidly the p”res of the skin are suddenly closed, and th result frequently in a bad cold, which may hold o all whiter and iermhwte In consumption ,or a flan lack of dysentery, or that dreadful disease th typhoid fever. If the day seeinli ever en war' and bright, It Is ranch safer, to wear plenty of m derelothlng at this season. LIMO at Marion, Smythe county, Virgin in, Is a gentleman named Elmadoras Sprinkle, the happy father of eight Interesting 'children, six girls and two boys, who hear the following names: 'Memphis Tappin Sprinkle. Empress Vandalin Sprinkle. Tatula 'lain Sprinkle. • Myrtle Ellmore Sprinkle, (boy.) ()keno Moletto Sprinkle. • Og Wilt Sprinkle. Wintosse Enonah Sprinkle. Onyx Curwen Sprinkle (boy.) The cause assigned for giving such singular, names, Is that Smythe county is sprinkled all over with the Sprinkle family, and when their names are mentioned, It Is "John Sprinkle, son of old Jesse Sprinkle," and our particular Sprinkle Is determined that when any one of his children Is spoken of, the public shell know which particular Sprinkle it is without referring to the paternal an cestor.

They can he used many years and not become airy, as limit other pianos do, In only a few years. Come and examine them at C. F. Herrmann's Store, Seventh and Wallin streets.—Ada. OUR (lOUNTY FAIR. —Next week the annual exhibition of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society commences in this city. There is no reason to believe that the attendance will ho any smaller than In former years. The State Fair will not interfere with it. On the con trary it twill probably bring more strangers here. Parties going to Scranton front New York or Philadelphia, knowing the reputation of our exhibition, will probably stop here to make a comparison between ours and the State exhibition. We hope the people of Lehigh county are eady for it. Preparations are being made to ccommodate the rash of visitors and we trust the character of the displays in the different Departments will he fully up tai expectations. The Fair must be kept up. For years it has enjoyed the 'reputation of being the best in the State. Let every one contribute their share and keep up its goml name forever. FAMILY DIFFERENCES.- whole we have more cause to wonder at the in requency of conspicuous family disunion than at is existence In the degree which experience shows is. Nothing so convinces us of the strenth of the do of consanguinity as the I.lm, we see It bear. We are oftener surprised at what people will put up with from one and another under the bond of relationship, how they will bear with the unbeara ble, how the black sheep holds his ground, than ikt breaches and scandals when they do occur. We constantly see persons endured by their fami lies who are endurable to everybody else, and who certainly do not secure this toleration by any pains on their part, by being ally pleasanter at home than they are abroad. A bad temper ex pands, grows; expatiates in the family circle, and all bow to It. A brutal brother lords it over the women of the house. An odious woman embit ters the life oilier parents and spoils the prospects of her ulmable sisters. Self conceit puffs and swells In an Inverse ratio to success and desert ; selfishness In its lowest and nmst offensive form IS submitted to, and by submission fostered, which, Indulged elsewhere, would condemn a num to ab solute Isolation. MEETING OF REPUBLICAN CONFEREES.— On Saturday, nt 12 o'clock, a meeting of the Con gres-lonal NOmlnating Conferees of Montgomery and Lehigh counties was he'd at the Bingham House, Philadelphia, George N. Corson, Esq., called to the chair, when John H. Oliver, Esq., was nominated by a unanimous vote. Mr. Oliver, being informed of the result, was brought before the conferees-and thanked them in a short speech. lie mentioned the relations of himself and party In the district.

COMMUNICATIONS In. do not hold °unwires ro.•pnnrilio fer the opin ion:l entertained by our Corroxpondents • WHO snAir, DE °int Gaya vssm.lN? NORRISTOWN, September 14,1870. Mr. Editors—ThePottstown Ledger of this week, In giving a sketch of Pr. E. L. Acker, the Demo cratic nominee for Cotigress, says the District be ing Democratic his election is reasonably certain. Tl.at Is the only reason why he can or ought to be elected. I propose to show several excellent reasons why he ought to be defeated. I belong to that portion of the Democratic party who are termed progressive Democrats, who believe in dis carding dead issues and fighting the battle of the party on the issues which are before the country now. My reasons are as follows: Pr. Acker favors the restoration of slavery. However much we may have opposed the schemes of the ultra abolitionists, we submit to the decree of the war. Wu have experienced the difficulty of the great step from slavery to freedom, the upsetting of the old labor system of the South and the substitution of the new. The larger por tion of Southerners are satisfied with the , present order of things, and, laying aside the considera tion of Justice, we do not believe it policy to take a step baCkward, io bring disorder again In the transition to slavery, and to drive out from the Son!: the free labor of the North which has set tled there to work and develop the immense hid den wealth of the Southern part of our •country. In short, we believe slavery to be a dead issue. • Dr. Acker• is opposed to Me present monetary sys tem of the country. We all of us have felt the effects of a disarrange ment in our National finances front a change of policy produced by a change in the administration of our government. We know the effect of the un settled policy of Secretary McCullough. While we must acknowledge the financial ability and ' p: driotism of the Secretary, we cannot shut our eyes of the fact that his frequent change of tac tics crippled the business interests of the country. is purposi'l is not to discuss the merits of this or that policy, hut to urge the importance of adher ing to one system, and it is therefore the interest of every easiness man to support it, whether the head of the Treasury be the most radical Repub- Bean or the most ardent Democrat. The upset [big of the National Bank System, the withdrawal of erccubnck., or their over Issue In sufficient mourns is pay off the bonded Indebtedness of the country would bringabout the most terrible finan cial revulsion, such ns the world has never seen. Dr. Acker is an old, consistent and Winching Free Trader. Oar industrial interests have been suffering for a long lime from the fall In gold and the reduction of the Tariff MI goods manufactured in this coun try resulting from that decline. The laboring man has felt It most severely In a reduction of wages or the discontinuance of his pay caused by t la , inability of the Works to compete with foreign manufactures, and an the farmers, business men anal professional men depend directly and hall etly upon this class for their support, the loss has fallen on them as well. The Tariff question Is (4w of vital interest to the people of Pennsylvania.

Beside, these vital points, there arc other cons siderat lonA which will take Democratic votes away from pr. Acker in this county, which may not be fully appreciated in your county. The contest for Congre,s was a light mf the progressive and intel ligent Deinocrocy against the old fogies of the party. It cannot be disguised that we have been rapidly losing ground during the past ten yearn. The figures show It and every one can see for themselves. Under the entire control of ouch men as Hon. 3. Markley Boyer, we could have held our own, hut we have hail to shoulder the diaboli cal war record of Dr. Acker, whose paper was made np of extracts from the rebel Journals, who was hung in effigy for disloyalty, a n d who refused to Illuminate when peace was declared. His un popularity is shown in the successful establish ment of the Nlstion& Afender, the rival of the N,wrisl on•n Register. Ills nomination, It Is bet ie vvll svtß procure through fraud. In the Lower Ward of Norristown Col. Edward Sellall, one of the most popular men In the !enough, and other Boyer delegates, were defeated by fraudulent voters. The some disre gard of principle was practiced In other wards. The Convention was appealed to, but the Acker nun being In the ascendency and having the pres sure of the outside mob to back them, refused too do Justice and they must take the consequences. A TARIFF DEMOCRAT.. PHI G. 1.11311 DELTA SOCIETY. tae is scarcely ever allowed to go unrecog nized by the world. Few men except those of a distorted vision, eau fall to distinguish with any degree of ileel,racy the distinguishing marks by which a tree baud of brothers may be recognized. We had the pleasure of attending the symposium of the Phi Iffitnnut Delta fraternity last week, and were greatly pleased with the proceedings. 'The eceasion of' the banquet was the presence of Mr. Newman, of U. Chapter, who by ' . his pleasant and instructive remarks added greatly to the gratification of the evening. A spirit of har mony reigned, a spirit than which no liner One can he reeogniz,l, and If those who cavil at fraterni ties would seek after a litile of their harmonious spirit, the world would fidjudge then; better men. The tables, as is usual on such occasions, groaned with the weight of the viands, though strange to say, they never seemed to grow lighter. The spirits of the fraternity were not on II par, with the spirits discussed, for 'from the first course of the banquet to the final song, nothing but wit and jollity reigned slillrelllC. Even young Cupid WllB deserted for a more fun-loving god, for no mem bers of the " Sorosis" were allowed to enter this chamber, sacred for the time being. We newer act such it fine lot of young men before, and. it is certain they will reflect no discredit on the institu tion to which they belong. The kindness shown one by the fraternity was so marked that I cannot refrain from expressing my cordial thanks and best wishes to each and every one of those who were present lost evening, and hoping welfare and prosperity will await you all, I remain, yours truly, 'AblurtiscincutO.
