CoNongssmsN.—Since Governor Geary has
decided not to sign the new Apportionment Bill,
ail the old Congressional Districts will remain an
bef re, and Lehigh and Montgomery will again
work together in the Congressional election. This
sodden Upsetting of the slates that hsve been In
proce, , s of formation, is uniooked for and will
cau.e a little confusion before we can get back to
the old harness. The discussion entered Into by
the Doylestown papers, upon the subject of the re.
nomination of Dr. Acker, has been all in vain,
and they will now have enough to do to look to
their own District. Dr. Acker appared to have
a soft thing of it under the new Anportionment,
but now be will be called upon to do battle against
the wily politicians of Lehigh and perhaps Mark
ley Boyer, too. We like the old way the best as
we have not so many new acquaintances to make.

A LLENTOW N.—A correepondent of the Eon
ton Free Priv& adds the following postscript to a
letter from Alburtis :—On our return from a visit
beyond Alburtis we stopped at the city of Allen
town, Just as the saying goes, "to see the ele
phant." Accompanying a friend we went around,
and were very well pleased with the appearance of
the city generally, as It reminded us of a northern
city where we have passed many happy days. The
fine buildings and beautiful display of spring cools
in the show windows made an attractive sight to
a stranger. We would have liked to stay longer,
but could not that day, and so we took a long ride
in the ,treet car back th the depot, and waiving a
Previous intention to t ,ke a look through Bethle
hem, returned home to Easton. We must not in
our recollection of our trip on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, forget the pleasant and polite M. B. of
the Fast Penn Junction who so kindly gave direc
tions and took care of extra baggage during our
absence In the city.
Fiim Wrrnour FLAME.—An experiment
leg Detroit chemist took a piece of threadbare
cotton cloth, smeared It with boiled linseed oil,
and placed It In the centre of the cheat filled with
paper and rags. Although the room was not
tight and the weather was cold, there was a smell
of dm about the room In eight days. Unpacking
It the experimenter found the rag half charred.
In April he made a similar experiment with a pair
of pAinter's overalls, which he roiled up with pine
.insvings and crowded In next to the roof-hoards
of a loft. In a week the smell of smoke I.lartned
a workinun'ln the next room, and the overalls
acre found to be on tire. And during the hottest
weather a handful of old cotton rugs, not smeared
with oil, became hot enough when hung up In a
tin box in the sun to light matches Which he had
placed among them. These facts show the ne
cessity of caution in putting away rags, especially
those that may be saturated with oil, benzine or
other inflammable substance.
A Tnitittric .roum.—Nitture's scavenger,
thothunder Storm, visited Allentown last week
to great Circe and did the work of Mr. Moser (the
Board sf Health.) The lightning was vivid and
almost inee,isaiit, but none of the strokes appe fired
to descend hi this viAnity. The rain descended in
t rrents and most of the streets were transformed
Into rushing torrents, which did considerable dam
age. On Hamilton street;on the hill, deep geniis
won washed out, and below Fourth large holes
were created which are dangerous to vehicles.
Linden street was of course a young river and at
Sixth street the box culvert was torn up and some
of the planks were carried a considerable distance.
The want: complaint about cellars being filled with
watt r nre seal❑ uttered. On the south side, lear
the jail, large curbs and flag stones were tossed
about as though they were chips and probably
about one hundred feet of the pavement will have
to be relald. The culverts at Fourth and Linden
were entliely too small to meet the demands of the
Immense volumes of wa . .er, and consequently a
deo gulley was washed In Losch'S nursery and
Intoih damage wee done to the trees. In front of
he jail .he terraces were badly washed and con—
siderable labor will be required to rejuvenate them.
At Kern's saloon, under the Post Office, the water
covered the floor to the depth of a couple of feet.
The Jordan and Lehigh were very high thin morn
ing.
A Ilotz op Waftvtnio,—As you go up the
Lehigh Valley, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
)011 will notice, Just above Kittatinny Station. a
nice opening In the side of the mountain, which
would be taken by the average traveler for the
opening of a paint mine, as the siding of the Val.
Icy road to It is in good order and the little dump
car ntanding in front of the opening has the ap
pearance of having.been constructed only a few
months ego. Bet the average traveler, as usual,
would be mistaken. Tills Is " bole of warning"
to those frho are always willing to bite at the bait
of sharpers who make large int:Mises of immense
"percentages," &c., but who will never invest a
cent In legitimate enterprises at home. The way
of It is this: Some two years ago a sharper of
German extraction, came up the Valley and com
menced experimenting for zino ore. lie soon
found ore " containing a large percentage of pure
zinc." Chemists analysed It, and then It was set
tled. The anus of the Fatherland of Mauch
Chunk hetvlly Invested, as did others lu the Val
ley, until Mr. Zinc Experimenter had reaped some
$50,000. Than work was commenced, and this
hole sunk. No zinc ore was round, and when
they looked around for their friend, The Expert
. inenter, he, too, was not to be found; And now
this hole remains as a warning to the unwary.
The opening is plainly visible from the Lehigh
Valley trains, and we would suggest that an in
, seriptiou of warning be put over it.—Bethlehem
Times.
Dnowvan.—Harvey FI. R. Knauss, a boy
aged about 84 ye , . re, eon of Henry Knanee, was
drowned In the Lehigh, near the dam,on ?dooday
week, while out dishing in company with two
other boys. :
Tae Easton Argus favors fixing up &plat

The Democrats of Northampton have been edu

ciples were the only true one . Whether they can
now be made to see their past error, and follow
Horace Greeley, Is a very important question.
Tug present high prices of pig iron do not
benefit all the furnace companies. Borne of the
larger concerns made heavy contracts at prices
ruling several months ago, which they have not

SALE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA SLATE QUAR
tries.—The Sheriff of Northampton County on
Friday week sold the valuable property of the
Pennsylvania Slate Company, In Plainfield town.
ship, nt public sale. The tract contains 190 acres,
and an excellent Slate quarry has been developed
on the premises. A large farm house, fourteen
dwelling houses, and other improvements have
been made on the property. Tho purchasers arc
Messrs. Daniel Dealt, Augustus M'olle and Jere
miah S. Desh. These gentlemen are said, how
ever, to be a committee representing a company.
The price paid wars 71,000. The mortgagee on
the property exceeded $lOO,OOO. We suppose the
quarry will now be put In working order and the
business pushed along.
COLONISTS. —Last week the colonists on
their way to Kansas, previously referred to lu these
columns, rendezvoused at the East Penn. Junc
tion. The party numbered about three hundred
families, divided Into 'colonies, the Eureka being
from Philadelphia arid composed mainly of
mechanics, and the Volunteer being made up of
Lancaster county farmers. Those composing the
former were transported here via the North Penn
sylvania Railroad and 'the fader were brought
here over the East Penn. Railroad. At this point
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company furnished a
special train to convey the colonists to Elmira.
The route is somewhat circuitous, but cheaper
fares were offered—the price being about nineteen
dollars for a through ticket to Kansas City. Al
though the number who went out yesterday seems
large, they are but the pioneers of the main colo
nies which will probably leave here during the
next thirty days. It has been so arranged that
these colonies Is iii take up the whole of a town
ship in Russell county, Kansas, on the line of the
Kansas Pacific Railway, and with the purchase of
the company's land and that of the 'jutted States
Government they thus secure the grant of 1280
acres given by the State to each township settled,
for school purposes. Any information upon the
subject of emigration will be cheerfully given by
P. T. Dickinson, general Eastern agent, No. 917
Broadway, New York.
IloatE INSURANCE CoatrANlEs.—ln noticing
the rapid growth of our city in population, wealth,
manufacturing and mercantile latereste,we should
not lose sig..t of other enterprises that are rapidly
growing up In our midst and are a.ready compet
ing successfully with foreign capital, energy and
enterprise, viz : our home Insurance companies.
Having occasion to look Into the office of the Le
high Valley Fire Instirance Co., (2d National
Bank building), the fact was fully demonstrated
to us that the actual cost of insurance In this com
pany since its organization, now nearly six years,
averaged from °lac-third to one-half less than the
cost on the s ime class of risks in foreign stock
companies. Since the removal of this company
Into its new office the business has more than
doubled over th, business of any previous year.
Its officers arc composed of the most responsible
and honorable business men of the city. One of
its best features is that all the policy holders are
members and have a voice in Its management,
with liberty to In. pect . the books at any time dur
ing business hours, and the privilege of withdraw
ing at their pleasure and recover a Just proportion
of the premium paid in. Any of our citizens wish
ing to insure will certainly fled It to their interest
to call at this office before insuring In foreign com
panies. The advantages here arc two-fold—a safer
and cheaper insurance, and the benefit of money
invested at home which sooner or later comes back
again to the pockets of the insured.
In this connection we must not forget to men
the. the Allentown Mutual Live Stock Insurance
Company,doing business in the same office, organ
ized by a few of our most enterprising eitizeas. is
meeting with public favor and bids fair to take the
front rank in thin class of insurance In thla section
of the State. It supplies a want long felt In this
vicinity and is being extensively patronized.

Bethlehem Correspondence
BETIILEIIEM, April 15th, 1872.
Political circles are now already heard discuss
ing the Republican nomination for Governor and
their chances of success. Hamann is not uni
versally endorse.' by the Republicans, a source of
Immense comfort to the Democrats. But their
sorrows begin in their own ranks, too; for they
say Cass is their Robson's choice, and he has but
two merits : one that his surname IS Cuss and Old
Lewis bad been famous; secondly, he is a co•
laborer of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They don't
like the Republican party of course, but they dread
also a Pennsylvania Railroad Democrat, or pre
tend to at least. Since Grant's nomination is a
certainty, the coming Cincinnati Convention is
atrtiously awaited. The Democrats very coolly
praise Mr.llorace Greeley now—formerly Massa
Greeley. Yet we ratherthink Mr.llorace Greeley,
E-q., will Sod his course Indorsed by only a splen
did minority, which will fizzle away by slow de
grees till the Ides of November.
Standing on the New street bridge we were view
ing the suspension railway from the canal to the
gas. factory—a wonderful piece of engineering
skill, beating the famous Switch-Back all to pieces.
Here you can take your seat in a bucket, way
down to the "raging canawl," be drawn up in
mid-air some thirty feet, and then ascend sus
pended under a wire rope some distance over rail
road, street and tree tops to a building top situated
ou u promontory like Gibralter. It is indeed i t
wonderful piece of mechanism, yet it seems to us
questionable whether It will pay for the quantity
that is yearly needed.
Mr. Weldon, who has left for parts known to
himself, has been heard from, but that is about
all. Re is said to have given directions to draw
his balance in bank and to settle up all hisaffalrs.
Some say that the North Penn. Railroad Is stuck,
but this seems strange now, for after auditing his
books they reported everything correct. We do
think there were strong motives to urge him to do
so desperate a resource, but we will leave It here,
and let the broad mantle of charity rest over the
unhappy affair, •
The Morning Progress is getting up high In the
world. Its signboard la big letters stands on the
roof of the Wilbur banking house, opposite the
Union depot, South Bethlehem,—the must con
spicuous sign in this valley. If that does not
make it become 011 paper also, there is no use in
putting up signs where all must see them.
Lively streets now—organ grinders in abund
ance, Italians, one-legged, soldiers and others !
May their boxes get full of peon les, and then good
by, gentlemen, good-by. Cisme IN ♦ WHILE.

Those Valhint Fishermen
Mr. Editor:—l saw luau Allentown paper that
party had caught 150 trout In the Little Lehigh
from Emaus out. The party consisted of men
from Allentown, Philadelphia and some other
places, to the number of nine or ten. They ar
rived on Saturday, the 6th, at Shipe's Hotel, all
equipped with rods, reels and lines, as if they had
arrived on some Indian Fishing Grounds. On
Sunday morning they betook themselves to the
Little Lehigh and had poor luck till they arrived
at Mr. Trexler'a fish weir. There they made a
contract with the owner to fish, paying forty-five
dollars for the privilege. They put their privilege
to the best use they could, but it is hardly becorn;
ing to them to brag of what a noble fishing party
they must have been. People can judge what
men are who thus violate the sanctity of the Sab
bath, who ought to know and do better. It ap
pears that the people along the stream do not
know b. tier, or they would not allow such viola
tions of the Sabbath. They have no cause to brag
of their big fishing, for any child• of eight or ten
years, could have done as well, had the troutbeen
penned up in some small place to be caught.
I hOpe the good people along the Little Lehigh
will make up their minds to forbid the Sunday
fishing and not allow fishing parties from a dis
tance to fish on their proierties. If they do not
do so it will not be long before trout will boa cu
riosity in this stream.
The following residents will not allow fishing on
their premises in the future :—E. Knerr, E. Rom
!eh, M. Bogert, Mr. Laudenschlager, Wm. Kirk,
Joel Kirk, T. Kline, Solomon Kline, John Rein-
Wird, C. Bober and others. They are .now deter•
mined to protect their rights by law, so beware.
