The Light Street Columbia Artil lerists visited our town and paraded in good style. Their appearance and general con duct was much to their credit. Sechler's Danville Band also visited the town, and gained credit lor discoursing ex cellent music. With them were the German Riflemen of Danville, a new Volunteer Com ptuy recently organized tlioro.

TIIE WEATHER OF JUNE. —Tho mean tem perature of June, as entertained by the ther mometer at the Pennsylvania Hospital, was 69j degrees, which is two degrees below the average for the last 32 years, and is the cool est June since 1846. Tho mercury indicated a (utnperulure of 89 degtecs on the 26th, which was the highest of the month, end of 53 degrees on the 6th, which was the lowest. The amount of rain was 74 inches. In June, 1855, there fell within a Irnction of 8 inches, viz : 9.94 inches, whirh ie the greatest srflour.t on record at the Hoapilal, for June. Tho av erage amount of rain for June, for the last 20 years, is 3j inches. EV The New Votk Times predicts a fall in the price of sugar.

Tlio courts about tho country should make such scamps feel that there is a higher law than mob violence, and one which can always protect the citizens in their civil and political rights. CASAHA WHEAT.' —Mr. P. Baldy, Jr., re ceived last week a cargo of 1500 bushels of excellent Canada wheat,superior to the wheat generally in this neighborhood, at a lets price including freight, than it can be bought tor of our farmers, who seem to hold on to their crops, not considering $•! SO per bushel high enough. Should the weather prove favorable, tho new crops will soon bring down prices 10 a living standard, and some of our farmers will then learn, to their sorrow, that HM/ast is not always the best dog.

Wheat is maturing finely, and corn is growing rapidly. The corn crop of the Wabash valley promises to be immense. IR<IN CARS —There is now nearly com pleted in Paterson, N. J . a first class pas senger car, a little larger than the ordinary size, constructed almost entirely of wrought iron. The material is employed to obtain great strength, with less weight than usual, and to avoid the injury to passengers by the destruction of ordinary cars in any kind ol collision. Iron cars have been used on the Boston city Railways.but have not. we un derstand, proved satisfactory. The rever beration of a longer passenger car will be found almost dcafcuiug.

Marcy, late Secretary of Slate in President Pierce's Cabinet. Mr. Marcy hail just returned to New York from the labors of his exalted post at Washington, which he had performed BO ably and so creditably to (he character of bis country. Few men have stood higher in public estimation for the judgment and skill he evinced In (he conduct of public affairs, especially in our diplomatic relations with Ureal Britain. Hs was a stales man in the fullest sense ol lite word, patriotic, sagacious and comprehensive. His clear in tellect embraced all the relations and connec tions of important questions under consider ation. His power of forcible Illustration was rarely excelled, and there was an honest di rectness of application which seldom failed to reach the object he aimed at. It was the influence of his commanding qualities in the Cabinet that averted the mischiefs of weaker or more arduous counsols. The power he held he exeroised for the good of his country, and that is the noblest epitaph to commemo rate his name.— Ledger. iy The Phenomena of cold forms the üb ject of some interesting statements by a wri ter in the Scientific American. It appears that for every mile we leave the surface of our earth lite temperature falls five degrees. At lorty-flve miles' distance from the glebe we gel beyond the atmosphere, and enter, strict ly speaking, into the regions of space, whose temperature is 225 degrees below zero ; and here cold reigns in all its power. Some idea of litis intense cold may be formed by stating that the greatest cold observed in the Arctic Circle, is from 40 to 60 degrees below zero ; and here many surprising effects are produc ed. It. the chemical laboratory, the greatest cold that we can produce is about 150 degrees below zero. At litis temperature, carbonic acid gss becomes a solid substance like snotv; if touched it produces just the same effect oil the skin as a red hot cinder; it blisters the finger like u burn. Quicksilver, or mer cury, freezos at -10 degrees below zero—t. e., 72 degrees below the temperature at which water freezes. Tho solid memory may then be l-eated as other materials, hammered into sheets, or made into spoons, such spoons, however, would molt in water as warm as ice.— Ledger. WHAT NEXT? —Passing along tho wharf yesterday, in front of Allen & Needles'place of business, wo observed a barrel filled with something that looked like a mixture,_ol wheal bran and smashed cockroaches. Wro article proved to be a newly newly discov ered fertilizer, very appropriately called Can cerine. Tho utility of this article is a weigh ty argument on the side of those who main tain that Nature has produced nothing with out a wise purpose. It is mado Irom the king crabs, or "moss bankers,•' which are found in myriads 011 the Jersey beach. They a'rt repulsive in appearance, consisting main ly ol a shell, legs and tail. The shell is ol a horse shoe shape, and is about tho size of a large dessert piste. At the town of Dennis ville, N. J. they abouud to such# degree ibat a firm have erected an extensive factory for the purpose of converting them into manure. When the tide leaves the shore dry, the animals are gathered into heaps. They are laid upon iheir backs ; when being unable to turn over, they eoor. die. They are then put I into a mill and ground to a coarse powder. I The ammonia evolved during the process is 1 extremely pungent, snd in order to fix it, the | preparation is decodorized by animal chat coal. It is then in merchantable order, (and wherepacked in barrels, aslls readily at th irty dollars per ton, just half the price of Peruvian guano. The shell of the king crab is not of an osseous character, but possesses the pro perty ol horn , and as we have said, contains a Urge proportion of ammonia. Wo learn that the demand at present is greater than the supply. We repeat, what novelty comes next I— Sorlk American. SLAVERY is ENGLAND. —We copy below a few advertisements taken from an old English newspaper, showing some of the peculiari ties of slavery in England a hundreJ years ago, and earlier. Just imagine a lot of negroes ruaning about with brass collars, fastened with a padlock, about their necks like so many dogs. ,- A black boy, of about 15 years ol age, named John White, ran away from Colonel kirke the 15*.h instant: he has a silver collar about his neck, upon which is the Colonel's coat of Arms and Cipher; he has upon his throat a great scar, bare in habit.

Several leading .newspapers have recently adopted the "iolio" form, after a long trial of the quarto, as the latter has proved unsatisfac tory to subscribers and advertisers. As a mere matter of convenience, the folio style is certainly the most acceptable. A reader don't -want tbe trouble of catting the edges of his newspaper or of folding it twioe when once will answer.

We fiad (he appended article id our ex changes. The assumption that the manifest decline in Temperance is due to the incon siderate teal of its advocates, is certainly cor rect with the addition that these persons plunged the cause into politics. That was an unnatural place for it, like religion, and both have suffered from the same cause. At the lime the great wrong was perpetrated wo pro protested againat ft, and made every eflort to induce its misguided advocates to desist from such action, pointing out to them that the sad result we now deplore would surely follow,— Suoh advice, however, was unheeded—Tem perance was made to subserve demagoguical political now it lies powerless and almost lifeless at the feet of the enemy it sought to destroy. Upon whose heads, then, rests the nSkponsibility for this state of affairs? Upon the beads of those who made it a political question, and they are responsi ble for nearly all the drunkenness of the day. The general debauching in yankee land de scribed in the Ipllowing may account for somo of its fanaticism : "The Temperaace fanaticism has run its course, and the result verifies the prediction and attests tho wisdom of those who opposed its introduction into politics and saw only in jury to the causa us the result of the blind and bigoted zeal f iiti which Temperance ad vocates plungeyi iitp the political arena, en deavoring to A>ttupon tha people .laws at once violative of the Constitution and the rights of man. .The great Temperance Rsf-' ormalion which had elicited so largely and so justly the attention and the co operation of the benevolent anil humane, began from that hour to decline, Until now it has almost lost its efficiency, and must begin and do its work over again. Mr. Cough, the eloquent lectur er, recently bore testimony to the decline of the temperance cause, but lie did not as he might havo done, explain the cause ol that decline. It is ascribuble solely to the excess es of Temperance advocates, who have sought to over-ride the rights of the people by means of restrictive legislative excitements, but which, fr6m its inherent wrong, it has been fnund impossible to enforce ; and the moral influence of the reform being lost, the evil of intem|Mirar.oe has proportionately in creased. The Sons of Temperance have dwindled dowa from 200,000 to less than 50.000, and the lifa has about gone out of this once powerful organization. The "Tem perance" papers have sunk to mere "whip persin" of faction. The amount raised for lectures and temperance tracts is one fifth of what it was live years ago. The Providence I'ost, speaking of this, and repelling some false assumptions of Neil Dow belore a black Republican meeting, says : "Mr. Gnngh went further. He said that mote liquor was sold in Massachusetts than he had ever before known, and that it was the same in other States. Here, again, he spoke the trutli and it is folly for Neil Dow In say that bis statements are 'at variance with the facts." We can testify fcr Rhode Island. Mr. (lough has known the Slate for about fifteen years. We have known it as long; and wis are sure that more liquor i now ifi iha Stale than has been mid at any former period within that time. We know that before Neil Dow's machine went into operation—say six years ago—there were ' not one fifth as many crog shops, or one fifth as many drunkards in the Slate as there are to-day. There were then seven towns where liquor wss not sold openly or slyly. There were twcjye or finaen in which it was not sold openly; and there were only five in which licenses were granted. Now it is sold openly in every one of the thirty-two towns; and in Providence there are at least three times as many grog shops as there were then. In the town of Butrtllville six years ago, there was not a single grogshop. We hare had the Maine Law live years, and now there arc twenty-five grog shops in Hurrillville. " Whaj ia true of Rhode Island is nearly true ol Connecticut, nearly true of Vermont, nearly true of Maine and New Hampshire, true to (be very Inner of the whole of Massa chusetts, and true to a great extent of New York. Indeed, it is true, in its main features of every State where the Maine law has been tried. In every one, the law has proved a failure. Mr. Dow know* better than to say that the law is enforced in Vermont and New Hampshire. In the former it does little or no good. In the latter it is everywhere a dead letter. He knows better than to say that the Maine I .aw carried Maine last fall. The Re publicans carried tbeState.il is true; but they did it by ignoring the Maine Law ques tion. and taking into llieir service the only papers in the State —the State of Maine and Expositor —that were recognized organs of the rumsel'er*."

The following despatch gives some idea of the frightful catastrophe. MONTREAL, June 27.—The loss of the stea mer Montreal haa been reported here, and the excitement is great, as may be supposed. The steamer contained no less than five hun dred passengers, generally emigrants from Scotland. The scene ia described as most frightful upon the bursting out ol the flames. The devouring element spread rapidly, and, as a large number of the passengers wore women and children, few precautions or a character to stive life could be adopted Amidst the awful horror of the scene, many persons leaped overboard, a large number of whom were drowned almost immediately.— Crowds of others were roasted to death be fore they could attempt to escape. The boat was off Cape Rouge at the lime of the disas ter. Persons on shore exerted themselves to save the unfortunates, but the rapidity with which the flames consumed ail in their track and the intense terror of those on board the ill-fated steamer operated against all efforts to rescue the unhappy passengers. As far as we csn learn at Montreal, only one hundred and scventv-ftve persons were saved from the burning wreck, but it is probable that others may have reached (he shore who have net reported themselres. It is certain that over I two hundred passengers were drowned, and that very many others were burned to desth. The shocking calamity has thrown a gloom over our whole community. Still later advices say that the number of those who are lost will probably exceed three hundred and fifty souls! People mntt go to Work. "The Chicago Tribune says that grocers ; and produce dealers in that city, are import ing pickles from Cincinnati, potatoes from New York, by thousands of bushels, and white beans from New Hampshire, in quan tities to suit purchasers. litis is disgraceful, with millions of acres of the richest soil the sun shines upon, lay-! iug waste and uncultivated, the West im- i ports produce from the East. Our only sur plus is wheat. Farmers cultivate this to the exclusion of other crops; aud the result is that, as we are credibly informed, bran and "shorts" for feeding cattle, have actu ally commanded a higher price in this city, the present spring, than good wheat. This is partially the result of too exclusively grown ing a single corp, and partly of the mania for land speculation, which has with drawn large numbers of men from produc tive industry in order to acquire sudden af fluence. The solemn truth is that more men have to go to work, before the time will be better. The people of the West will find themselves obliged to do something with their fair acres besides buying. They must not only produce a surplus of wheat but must at least, cultivate a sufficiency of i the necessaries of life, for home consump tion. It will not do to depend too perma nently upon the rise of real estate, or a ' speculation in City Lots, exhorbitant Kents, l or usurous Loans, for subsistance.

A Goon Cow.—The Ust number of the Chester County Times, give* a statement ol a e.ow which is owned by Jeffries William*, of said county, ami which yielded a week or two *ince the extraordinary amount of Iwnly pound* of butter in seven days.

The whole number of newspapers pub lished in the United States is 3,634; some 419 of which are in the State of New York From the Kansas Herald of Freedom. The Ciouklog Policy. Eastern journals continue to predict that Kansas will be ■ slave State, evidently with the intention o ( preventing emigration to the Territory, and making it a slave State. If Kansas is not a slava State it will not he the fault of demagogues throughout the North, who, we honestly believe, desire it to be made such that their predictions may be ver ified ! We say again and again that Kansas can never be made a slave Slate. Nineteen* twentieths of the population of that Territory, at the present rate of iuctease from the North, are, or soon will be, in favor of freedom, and will never consent to be enslaved. It is an outrage upon the people of Kansas, those who have borne the fight in person in the part, to be thus mistepressnted in the East, and through political journals. Travel over the entire length and breath of Kansas, and it is almost impossible to find a man of either patty so lost to truth as to ex press a doubt as to the ultimate result. Let our friends iu the States instead of de sponding, send us words of cheer and hope. A cause was never benefitted by laboring continually to discourage and dishearten ilt ad vocates.

The scientific discoverer and ihe scientific inventor are distinct and different characters, i It is rarely thst he who discovers a great principle applies it successfully and thorough ly. Sometimes, however, this is the case. Prof. Hollow ay was among the first to broach the theory that disease was the result of the introduction of morbid matter into the circu lation. But of itself this theory, however true, was useless. It could not suhservo any ben- I eficiat purpose to point out the locality of the bane unless the discoverer were provided with an antidote capable of reaching it.— Protestor Holloway came up to ihe good work doubly armed. He had not only traced Ihe symptoms of disease to their genniue cause, but had, after long research aud innu merable experiments, produced two reme dies which would infallibly reach it. Time, which tries all things, has tested the vslue of those remedies. What has been the re sult.' During the twenty years they have been before the world, thousands of medi cines, hundreds of now systems of prsctice have been nshered into existence, enjoyed an ephemeral popularity, and passed into obliv ion. Not so with Holloway's Pills and Oint ment. They stand first on the list of mod ern curatives. Their reputaion is founded on a rock—the rock of truth—and cannot be shaken. Scarcely a year ago their inventor came to our shores unheralded. It is true that large quantities of his medicines were consumed in the United Slates, and that his . skill, his enterprise, his success, were often referred to by the American press, but pet | sonally he was unknown to us, and the great | system of agencies with which ha bad cov | ered more than half the habitable globe hail not yet been extended to th's country. He I came hither for the purpose of affording us | new facilities for the procurement of his 1 preparations, and conseqnenoe has been an I increase of one hundred per cent., in the I demand for them within a few months. It ' appears, from the statement of all who have taken the Pills for indigestion, that their ef lect in cases of dyspepsia ia almost beyond belief. As this complaint has with some truth been called the national disease of | America, a specific tbat never fails to re move it is of course invaluable. The public, ou both aides of the Atlantic, hair been so often victimised by medical charlatan* during the last fifty yeara, that it received with something of distrust the first rumors of the efficacy of Holloway's rem edies. But every day furnished new proofs of the fact, and at last such was the over whelming weight of evidence in their favor, thai it became more absurd to doubt than to believe.
