ORANGEVILLE CELEBRATION.
Tq our last wo published the proceedings
of a meeting hold at Oratigeville, making
arrangements for tho celebration of the CQih
Anniversary of our Independence'.' We
neglected however, (o tneiuioii.that the di.i
ner was to be provided by Mr. George
Seiple, and from the known qualifications
of mine host.thoro can be no doubt but that
arnplo provisions will be made for all who
may attend. From tho arrangements that
wo learn have been made, anil from tho
known ability of tho committee, we believe
that the celebration will be as grand on
affair as ever came off in Columbia county
The Apportionment Bill has been signed
by the President, and has become a law.
There will be considerable difficulty in the
Legislature in the arrangement of the dis
tricts of the state, and wo should not be
urprised if the Legislature was compelled
to et for weeks, before it will be enabled
to agree upon the subject.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Sjnee the commencement of the Extra
Session it has done but little .business.other
than that of a private nature. A bill has
passed the house,authorizing the settlement
or the removal question by a vote of the
people of Columbia county. IVe hope the
senate win concur, ttial this long agitating
and exciting question may be put at icsl.by
aa expression fthe voice of those best
qualified to die ide it.
John W.Baer.the buckeyo blacksmith.has
given up coon skins and haid cider, and
turned temperance lecturer. He had found
that 'two dollars a day and roast beef did
not come from the election of the whig tic
Jcel; henco he concludes to try another
atrmg.and sea whether it will not discourse
more profitable music.
Tyranny A portion of tho working-
men of St. Etionrte in Franco, recently
formed associations with a common capital,
giving the opportunity for the wealthy to
subscribe a portion, the object of which was
mufuaJ employment and 'mutual relief in
ease at distress.
For this they were nrosncuted'before the
Criminal court, and convicted. Tho founder
of'the esublishmcnt was sentenced to pay a
June- of fifty frances and undergo two
months imprisonment: threo of the princi
pal members wero sentenced to pay tho
same fine each, without imprisonment.
Morrison' i would appear from the
lowing that Joe Smith, the .Morman chief is
wiser at least on one point than many
other Legislators;
pUrationi The Mayor of Nauvpo, the
Mormon head quarters, has published an
ordinance granting oqual toleration and
equal privileges to Catholic, Presbyterians
Methodists, Baptists, Latter Day Saint,
Quakers, Universalis, Episcopalians,
Unitarians, Mahomeiants, and all other
.religious seels and denomination whatever
any person who ridicules or disturbs the
.religious meetings of these, is fined a sum
Jiot exceeding $5Q0 and imprisonment for
not more than six months.
It is slated that during the earthquake at
Santiago, the inhabitants rushed into the
lloman Catholic Church to implorej mercy
from the most high God, and "filleiiit
overflowing, and when it fell, rivers of
Wood were seen to pour through tho ruins,
proceeding from tho bodies of the poor un
fortunate souls crubhed within.

Tho seeds of plants are their eggs.' A
sunflower produces 4,000; a poppy,30,000;
a tobacco plant 3 or 400,000; and spleen

A schoolmaster in tho country advertises
thai he will keep a Sunday school twice a
week Tuesdays and Saturdays.
A splendid war steamer, to be named the
Chippewa.is now upon tho stocks at Kings;
ton, Canada. Her burden is 700 tons, and
she will carry two long 82s and four 32
pounders. j
It costs aB much to build arid equip a sin

The New York Herald asks.which is best?
The houses would be best in time of peace,

indispensable.

Boston to Halifax.
Accident to President Fan Buren.
The mail stage in which this gentlemen was

which accidepl he was considerably injured
in One of his shoulders.'
Miraculous Escape. Two men fell a
distance of forty feet from a scaffolding' of
a building they were repairing, in New
Yoik, on Tuesday, and singular enough,
neither were much injured, although thov
.struck upon a mass of rubbish in the shape
of boards, kc. the' points of which wore
sticking up in all directions.
Singular Suicide. At New Orleans,
a Frenchman named Decillcs, oil tho 13th
