We venture to say that there will not bejnore than ten per cent. of those in attendance who will know any more about the language when they leave the school than when they enter It and we hear signs of dis approbation among those parents who object to having the time of their children wasted in this way.

More copies of newspapers are published In Allen town each week than in any other of Its size, we believe, on this continent, and these, printed In both German and English, sow their seed broad cast throughout the county and hence our agricul tural communities are intelligent and well-inform ed. Besides our papers, our citizens arc exte . uslve patrons of the principal magazines and leadlog newspapers of the Country, and although ghost stories are related and believed In our county we do not think that such believers are any more nu merous here, In proportion to our population, than in the wise cities of Boston, Philadelphia and New York, and should not be cited as evidence of the ignorance of our people. One Muffling institutions are believed in by our people, us our bank state Melds show and the people are too shrewd to bury their money In their cellars where It will be un; productive. Beer is a favorite beverage with out citizens, as It is with most AIIICrIC.IIIS, and " one L 311 0" is s not only a good brewer, but a widely known tihd highly respected citizen. We would like to see Mr. Townsend at Allen town istui show him, around. lic would then, we are confident, tell his readers that in Pennsylvania they have one city which equals in energy, enter prise and intelligence the cities of the Great West. The banks of our river are skirted on either side with railroads, and the gigantic furious and roll ing mills make the river' Lehigh qulve'r with hire in the night and keep up the busy fun of Industry in the day. A street railway, prosperous and well-managed, and omnibus lines connect with the three railroad depots and the heavy travel which patronizes them shows that we are at least an ac tive and moving people. Philadelphia deserves morn credit for the progress of our Valley than does New York. Nearly all the Capitalists out side of the Valley who own stock In our largest furtmees;are residents of the City of Penn and we believe that Pennsylvanians have a heavy interest In the stock of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. We owe little or no gratitude to; New York, as what ever that city lies done for us has been well com oensated for by a heavy wholesale patronage. THE PICNIC ON TuunsDAy.—The grand ltslret pie-nie Thusrday afternoon at site Felts ain House was a complete success, and ',retitle- I ire ol much pleasure, which was shared in by all present. It was largely attended by many of our most pleasant citizens and by a number of rhila delpillans as well as by numerous visitors now es jumping In our city. The party assembled on the plemic grounds early In the afternoon, most thor oughly equipped with all the paraphernalia of a compriAng croquet,buth field and parlor, euchre decks and other games or. atnasement to suit all present. One of thv. ladies as generalissi mo.(and she did it IVell)•superintemied the sur veying of the gromids and the planting of wickets pre paratory to croquet. Pa'rlies for the game were at once organized,lheir respective positions as signed them and put to Work'at batting. Euchre received proper attention from a number of the de voted. There were others who in a quiet way en oyed thej oily uud social spirit pervading the party, Lx.ehanging and comparing notes on the condition of the said circle and singling certain cases yet In the bal,ince of the future. Crystal Springs and the (limy tribe were a bource of much interest to a por tion of the party who much admired their beauty. Others gave themselves up to promenading over the hill to the rear of the Fountain (louse and wandered through the sweet scented clover. From the summit of this there was afforded a tine oppo•- tunity of viewing the Little Lehigh, the rolling Landscape, the silent city of the dead with its scat tered monuments,the Lehigh Mountains in the dis tance that for centuries have looked down over this beautiful and lovely valley as an everlasting watch, 'and proof against all time.

TIM PENNSYLVANIA DEUTSCII—George Al fredTownsend underlakcs_lawrite - up "the Penn. sylvania Deutsch" in a letter front I.ltiz to the Chi -tago Tribune. Townsend has a geol reputation as it racy, descriptive letter-writer, and those who read this letter will very probably place some reli ance upon his statements, otherwise, we shoald pass them over as the speculations Of a fool. ilia reputation will carry some weight with It and give those who are not acquainted with this region a false impression of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Ills wild remnrks, tiro suppose, are intended to apply more directly to the Lancaster county people, but the generality of readers arc not apt to discrimin ate so closely when loft to draw their own Infer ences. ills description of the Mora visits We re moth= : ' Litiz Is one of the vast series of Moravian mis sion towns which that pure and quaint Christian denomination has town around the world—in Greenland, Spit zbergen, Siberia. Tills mission, planted by the Count Zinzendorf many years be fore the American Revolution, is now the central object in a very picturesque stone village, and the schools arc about one hundred years old. A flue old gentleman, or the name of Beck, a Maryland Moravian, who strolls to oar hotel dilly, has taught a school fifty consecutive years here, and he gave up the business on its fiftieth anniversary. There are six old couples here who have celebrated their golden wedding. • 're-nay, Dick Tshuday, the politician and brewer of the town, has been collecting subscriptions from our boarders to hive a present of $ WO to a very old and very poor conple,'whose golden wedding would else lack a celebration to-morrow. Ile has got It, too, by putting in the balance himself, and it Isar ranged th tt 55st shall be put Into an envelope and slipped In by the post to the old dame, and the other $5O shall go in the same way to the old man. They will get tip and hear the trombones play in tile Moravian tower, and think they are very poor, though still a good deal in love and quite necessary to each other, and then the postanaster—a little be lore time, to be sure, but that will make no differ ence ; for they get no letters in their old age, every body being -dead—the postmaster will knock at the door and, in a formal, hasty sort of way, hand in ! the letters. The door will then close upon the old I couple and their gulden wedding. Thank Clod that there still living young folks who remember the affections of the old ! We cannot ge t along j even in these times, without our politician. These Moravians are not countrymen of Joint Huss.

These Moravians do not proselytiz ', except amongst the heathen ; by the appreciation of their latid and the profits of their very popular schools —schools which have ed seated the wives of the best men in the Middle States—they haYe made their coefeties prosperous, yet their numbers are constantly diminishing, the communistic life is nearly at sit end, and the steam engine of Metho disinwhose parent, Wesley, was, in some sense, a Moravian convert—ls playing High Dutch amongst these old burghers. The Moray tans have at Litz four schools and two hundred pupils, and they educate at their several establishments In the Dutch country six hundred per annum. Their edifices are old, hid roofed, hLth German stone houses.

FIRE IN TIM MINES. —A. Mauch Chunk ex change says a the ',Coke out at the head of Slope No. Inside of No. 6 mine, Lehigh Coal and Navig.atlna Commav, at three o'clock on Thurs day morning. Th r.. iv.m only a few men Inside and they all got out In ssfety. It is providential hat the accident did not occur later when thensen wore all In the mine. It is supposed there will be ut little damage done though the names may get he better of the workmen who are doing their best o subdue them as we write. The - danger Is that the fire will run along the vein which extends to Tamauqua. If this should be the case the damage would be very great. Be sides running four or five mines, the Nesquebos lug Tunnel across which the vein rune, (though the coal Is worked out,) would be filled with smoke and gas. This would stop the great work. it is to be hoped that all this will be averted by the subduing of the tire. To CAN PEACII ES. WC .find the following mode of Cunning peaches in Tilton's Journal of Horticulture: Take large ripe peaches—not over ripe—halve and pare neatly and lay on a large meat dish. To a three peck basket of fruit allow four pounde of sifted sugar; sprinkle It over the fruit as you lay it in the dials ; when done set in a cool place over night ; the next morning fit each piece, one by one, 'nicely into the jar, draining . them front the Juice. When the jars aro filled put them close together In a kettle of cold water, putting a double towel or something of the kind under them, in the bottom of the kettle, to pre vent their cracking, and set over the fire. Let the water heat gradually till it boils, while you pre pare the syrup from the Juice that bas been formed from the 'peaches and sugar over night, then fill up the jars with it, being careful to let the bubbles of air escape ; they will be seen rising to the top ; If any arc in the lower part of the Jar they will go up on the insertion of a fork. When allare full be gin to seal up, and have a large pan of hot water standing near to put the Jars in As fast as sealed, where they can cool olf gradually. Where one has glass Jars or bottles, without tight-fitting covers, prepare a cement of one pound rosin to two pounds mutton suet melted together and well mixed ; have pieces of strong muslin cut large enough to tie over the mouths of the jars or bot tles; lay the muslin on a hoard and with a spoon spread over a thick coating of cement; tako up Abe mania foickly,.before it has time to cool, and put It on the jar with the cement side downward, pressing it closely over the sides. If the muslin Is not very thick it is well to spread more cement on top of the first cove• and lay over that n second piece of muslin, then tie down with twine and fin ish with n good coat of cement over all. This Is a good way to use up old Jars whose covers have been broken or lost. • • THE BAY WINDOW QUESTION.—The ques tion whether or not a citizen shall be allowed to erect a bay window of the depth of three feel, or more, in front of a residence, has created no little stir among the citizeas of Lancaster, for some weeks past. The question was brought before court, by Messrs. Franklin Sutton and Samuel Kencagy, remonstrating against the erection of a window of this description by D. G. Eshleman, Esq., on Ills East King street building, now under repair. It was fully argued before a full bench on Monday of last week. The Court, through the lion. A. L. Hayes, read a very lengthy and elabo rate opinion last Saturday, deciding adversely to the plaintiffs, and in favor of Bay Windows. The concluding paragraph of the opinion Is as follows: "(laving attentively listened to the able discussion upon the Bill and Answer, and deliberately con sidered the questions mooted, we have arrived at the conclusion that the plaintiffs cannot be sus tained In their application : First, because the facts presented do not constitute a nuisance ; sec ondly, because no special or particular Injury to the plaintiffs from the erection of the Bay Window n question, is set forth in their Bill or has been or will by 4\tirMri.att t,. rt.um irnal lea armqino. The Thu Lancaster Express does not believe in this decision, in which the extraordinary conclusion is reached that the obstruction of a side-walk by the erection of bay windows Is not a nuisance or that it does not cause any special or particular Injury lo resid cuts of adjoining property. The Express adds that the conclusion arrived at by the honor able Court may be law, but it is certainly not com mon sense. Bay windows are well enough in their place, but those erecting them should be compelled to keep back the line of their fronts equal to the projection of the window•, and then they would, not interfere with either the view or the travel along the sidewalk. That Is our view also. ,Bay windows projecting beyond the building line area nuisance, though a thousand Courts should decide otherwise. They Should not be permitted la any MEETING 01' TILE BOARD 01 0 CONTROLLERS. —A e p..cia I meeting of the Board of Controllers was held In the Council Chamber on the evening of August 7th.

TnAus.—The Much Chunk Coal Gazette of Friday says up to the close of last week there has been transported south front here, over both railroads and the canal, since the Ist of Jan uary, 1,674,727.18 tons. Last week the shipments from here amounted to 137,738.t0 tons, being 0,020. 03 tons less than the preceding week. The corre sponding week last year 07,638.07 tons were sent south from here, and the total for last year to this time was 2,631,471.12 tons. In comparing the ship ments of the past week and the present year with corresponding dates of last year,we find an Increase for theweck of 1871 of 40,179.10 tons,and a decrease for the present year of 819,743.14 tons. Shipments by our railroads and canals fall little short of last week, which were the heaviest ever _made. Prices are no higher though there is good iii4CkSt. Lehigh is much inquired after, some sizes being exceedingly scarce. Higher prices tnay be looked fur at an early day. The Lehigh Valley have issued a new circular of rates for transporting coal but there Is little change. The Central Rail road of New Jersey have made no change. The men at a colliery near Mahanoy City have struck, because a reduction of wages was threat ened. The men of Schuylkill county are working nt about as low figures as they can support their families upon, and we hope the price they now get for their labor will be kept up. The Reading Rail road by raising their tolls have made one step to wards the lowering of the miners' wages, and the President gives notice that he will continue each mouth to lower tour. A break In the Lehigh canal has somewhat de• layed the transportation of coal during the past week, and the shipments are below what they usually nee. Fogelsville Items FOGELSVILLE, PA., Aug. 12, 1871 One BEDS. —Three more ore-beds have been discovered a short distance from this village. They were discovered respectively we Henry Stine's, Jacob Ste Winger's and Jesse Lorash's farms. Those beds are reported to be better than any that have as yet been discovered In this sec tion. Such discoveries arc indeed not only calcu lated to cheer those who . are so fortunateastoown these beds, but alike other classes. The labor of the poor man will thus rise In greater demand and hence obtain better wages, the more need there is for his services. Many a poor man already duds employment at these beds in our vicinity and thus secures that necessary medium by which his want° aresuPplied. How much business may thus be ushered Into existence Is as yet unknown but one thing is certain that such developments are Just the ones we need at this end of the county. The benefits of these extend, Indeed, far and wide. The benefits of the Iron business are insinuated as It were Into every branch of business and hence the propriety of calling this metal the most useful. The iron business seems to occupy that position iii the material world that the words of Plato occupy In the material world of mind: Ills words have entered successividy into the philosophies, the creeds, and the practical codes of the Grecian world, the Roman, the Saracen and the Christian. So have the benefits derived from this nosiness en• tared Into every branch of industry. Such devel opments will also make the necessity of having a rail road built In this direction the more apparent. There is every reason to believe that the iron com panies will soon so look upon this matter. Besides the many conveniences that would thus be brought to our people, such a project would beyond doubt be the most economical one In order to get their ore shipped away from this place. At least we may be permitted to indulge the hope that ere long will the locomotive travel through our part and rend the air with Its loud whistles. 'IRE NEW PATENT AIR BRAKE Of mention has been already made, says the Reading Times, was applied to the five passenger ears of the down Reading Aecompdation train yesterday morning. The experiment has already been par tially made upon the Reading Road, and the brake is also being tested on the Pennsylvania Central. speed can be stopped in a few seconds of time, as experiments have demonstrated. The following Is the description furnished of this ingenious con trivance: On the right hand side of thh locomotive, fast ened to the running board and immediately under the engineer's eyes. Is an upright direct-acting air-pump, which draws its supply of steam from the boiler and pumps air into a reservoir, which is attachedi to the foot-board, and hangs directly under the cab. This pump is composed of a steam cylinder and a narrow cylinder, Is entirely self :lain, and Is really a medium between the pres sure of steam lu the boiler and the pressure of air in the reservoir. Thus it will be seen that when the supply of air from the reservoir to apply the brake, the pump at once begins working vigorous ly, without attention from the engineer, to make up the deficiency of pressure In the reservoir, caused by the application of the brakes ; It then works on until the steam and air pressures are the same, less the allowance for friction In the pump. The quantity of steam used in pumping the air is scarcely perceptible, and the time necessary for the pump to restore the pressure varies from one to two minutes. Under cinch car of the train is a cylinder, firmly bolted in such a position that the piston acts di rectly on the lever now used for the ordinary hand brake, and not at nil interfering with hand brak- ing. ' The pressure of air Is conducted to these cylh dere from the reservoir, under the locomotive, b, a line of three-quarter Inch , gas pipe, running tin entire length df the train, and the connection with each cylinder is made front the main lime with a quarter Inch elbow. From each end of the car the pipes are extended by three-ply rubber hose, which are connected, when the cars arc coupled together so .arranced that when the parts are united, ate air passes through them. But should any of the carabecotne detached from any came. the coupling, which Is held together by stiff springs, pulls apart, the valve closes, the escape of air Is prevented, and the brake remains Wa ive on the rest of the train. Or should the brake have been applied, and afterwards a car become detached, the valves of the coupling on the de tached car immediately close, and the brake con tinues applied, thus preventing a car frosts run ning back on a grade. An air gunge, placed immediately above the steam gunge, indicates to the engineer the amount of pressure In the reservoir; and the entire man agement of the train is placed in his hands by means of a three-way cock, by simply turning which he can instantly and effectively stop the train, without that unpleasant Jerking and bound ing noticeable on all trains where hand or other brakes are used, or can as quickly release the brake or graduate it to any desired speed, • • While the brake is so adjusted that the engineer can, by simple movement of his hand, apply It will; its utmost force, as in ease of accideut, yet it is impossible for Bins to get 'such force as to break anything, or even lock or slide the wheels. The brake is applied instantly to all the caili f a train alike, so that, In running Into an ob,truc• tion the train would be perfectly taut, and could stand a considerable blow ; or, in case of an au ticipated. collision, the train could be stopped, the brake released, and , the traits backed out of dat:- ger at once.
