It la a beneficent late that even in the son of treadmill life of an editor calls us out non and then among lbs hardy yeomanry and pure air of :be bills. Doubly grateful to out wearied brain and body is such a trip tvhen in town the meroury reaches close to lh 100 degrees, and the brick walla and pave, ments seem a buge oven. And pot only it the air more genial out bare, redolent with Hie odors of the new-mown hay, but there is a like refreshing spirit of kindness and hospitality in the hearts of the people. The farmer holds closer communion with nature and naturt'a God than tbe nar row mind pent up in the narrow walls ol the town. He mey not be able to read the city daily la the moraiag before the dew gems have ceased to sparkle on bis meadow but tbe heatty Iriendsbip of bis neighbor! and the smiles of his honest family awaken and exercise in him a far belter nature than the details of murders and conspiracies move in his lass moßest town cousin. The rise and fall of stocks do not distract not drive tc suicide the husbandman, but his heart and brawny frame seem to widen out as if in sympathy with the expanse of bis broad acres. Out here among these hillside* and val leys of Orange we forget the selfish jealousy of small men seeming great—of candidate! for Ccngreas each envious o f tbe other—o politicians each one afraid lest some othei may groiv greater than he, and therefore poisoning minds ngainst such rivals as arc in his way, like in the days of the Borgiai the vainly and wickedly ambitious ware wont to poison food. Aye, bnman nature is ever the same; anc its frailties only take new forms and nan names with succeeding ages. The politic! of Machiaveli come round again with the Kama unerring oeirteinty a* the plenel of th physical world. Bat the Isms which spring trom the diseased mind of city fanstios find no lodgmant in the clear healthy minds o) our yeomanry. No wonder ibat in the Wil mot district there was Tttelyan application for incorporating a borough one mile and three fourth square, where lens than 100 per eona lived, and where two of the proposed borough lines ran through an unbroken wil derness. No wonder that Wilmol incorpo rated the borough, and the Supreme Court reversed bis decision. There Were no doubt many great men there as fit to rule a borough as we have now in our district fit to go to Congress; that is—in their own estimation. No wonder these people of the Isms banket tor tbe flesh ,>otr and corruptions of the towns. Tbey have become "too tinart," and ought to sweat out their spiritualism in such ram bles ss ours among the sweet realities of the Oranga hillsides and valley*. Your political Catalines only fatten in the great sores of the city, and their degenerate * imitators in aorae town. We mean the reek 's less men who have neither character, merit nor means, and who yet by brazen impu dence play opoa and cheat the good nature of the public unli* repeated rebufTs etd dis appointments make them desperate adven turers for any enterprize. When a man hat no public spirit, and ho interest at stake in the society*around him, yon have no bond for hi* good behavior, and you do him t great uokindness by lending him into tempt ation. All hail to the true hearts and the stout hands l the tbiifty farmers—the only true masters of the earth—and after each of whom it can be truly said that the world is better foi his having live<J in it. THE CROPS.- — lt is pernio Ito see farmeri still complaining after Providence has giver them bopnlifui gifts wbioh grew into wealth while the husbandmen slept. Much battel it the spirit of our freind Mr. GEO. KRKAMEF of Ml. Pleasant township, who rejoices ir his luxuriant yield of hay, and has left at oui office a few sample atalkt of timothy mear uring fine feet and a half inch in height, anc one of tha beads being 10} inches in length Alt.

(lit Him Agals, The Wilkmbarre Record vety justly immo latvs Mr.' Albert O. Richardson, a nodnl New VeA Advertising Agent, who bee recently endeavored to get hold of newspaper oolomne for quack advertisements at $2.00 per square, while other advertisers pay at from $9 to $lO a year per square. We received one of bis circulars some time ago, another recently, both of which we filed away—in the stove. If publishers arc silly enough to be caught by such impositions there ge not much use for them to hold editor's conventions after wards for their protection. Very 'mail Business. A great part of Judge Kelley's speech at Lewisbnrg on the Fourth ol July was an ill uatured scolding of the new cent coin lately issued by the mint. It don't look well to him, but lie ought to quiet his nerves by the reflection that tie gustibus n on ditpulaadum at. He ia old enough to act like a eenf-sible man and not like the spunky boy who consoled himself that if he could not flog his more vigorour. playfellow lie could at least make moulha at bia sister. Judge Kelley couhl not flog Mr. Buchanan last fall, so he puts a spark to hia peony craker on the Fourth of July, and fizzles out by making moulha at the new cent, because it came out under Mr. Buchanan's Democratic administration. True hp ought to have his plaything, but this is rather small,business for an Ex-Judge. Be sides, hia fizzle was only a few grains of powder which Theodore Parker a month ago exploded in one sentence, without thinking it very smart.

YVe cordially welcome bitn back to the editorial oar, and wish him all the success which bis talent and i worth so justly entitle him. ROBERT J. WALKER'S RICHES. —The New York Mirror, whose editor has known Gov. Walker "intimately and thoroughly, for ten years," says of him : After haudlin'g.some hundreds of millions of the public money, he left the office as poor as a primitive Christian. Since then he may have bought stocks and lands and mines that have made him rich. But when waf it connted a crime for fortune to reward the sa gacity even of a speculator! In 1843, Mr. Walker invested >1,750 in the purchase of land on what ia now tha city of Fond du Lac, for whioh he has been offered within a few months, more than 1200,000 ; and he also bought, years ago,coal and quicksilver mines whioh ate making him a millionaire. SCHOOL AT ESPYTOWN.— Mr. Joshua R. Faua has taught one term of a select school at Espytown to the entire aalislaclion of his pa- Irons ; and had so large a number of scholars (sometimes 55) that he employed an assis tant. {la will commence another session | neat Mew day, cf whictithe term* may he found ia another oolumn. He laugh t;n this town last summer, and auatained here an ex cellent moral character. FURNACE BDRBTED.— On Friday week, a blast furnace at Phmnizville belonging to Reeves, Buek k Co., was blown to pieces, causing a good deal of consternation in the the neighborhood. Luekily no persons were aboni at the lime, or some seriuns injuries might have been ioflioled. Some of the good people of Pbcenixville thought the Comet had come, but they soon recovered from their fright. /• THE SUPRIMS COURT NOT SLAVEHOLDERS.— The Washington Union (eye, the majority of the Sepreme Court are not owners of slaves, aa has bean repeatedly ararerled. Feht of tha Justices reside in free Stales, and the Chief Justice hit not ewtiedl slave far 30 years— They came m hfm by inhtaiianoe, bnl he voluntarily gave them freedom, and two, who were too old to hike ear# of them* aelvee, he provided for duriirg their livee. VALUE or ma HAT CROPS —The bay crop of the free StSMa in 1866, is estimated by Mr. Helper, of -North Carolina, to ezoeed in value >ir dmtr the coltou crop Of tjin Smith. It also exceeded the value of nil thd eelloti, rien, hay and bntnp produced in the fifteen slave aunts. •>' ■ The Law Was. L. Matey. # The following extract from a later of a fa-, tber to hie eon, contain! a brief summary 0 f ! the striking oharsctefiaties of the greet Man whose loss now afflipis the Repeblic: " Yesterday the Depaittaents were closed —a token of respect to the memory of Mr. Marey, Secretary of War duriog the admin istration of Mr. Polk, and Secretary of State during that of Mr. Pierce. He has also been a Governo' of the State of York, a Judge pi one of the Superior Coyirts of that State, a„ Senator of tbe United State*, fee. I remem ber him (I was a printer's boy then) When he waa a student in a law office at Troy, N. Y. He was a plodding and slow young man —never making any pretensions, and attract ing no attention till he began to feel an inter est and take a par: in the movements of po litical parties. He then espoused the princi ples and joined himself to the Democratic party ; and, when the first opportunity called his pen and mind into exercise, it wae found by the discriminating that he was a ttrong man. He was never brilliant as a speaker; yet few men in the Union could build up a stronger argument thaa Mr. Marcy. He was always ready to meet an opponent, and, in all his contests wnh political antagonists through the press, he came off with victory. In his correspondence with British diplomats the same success attended bins; and be showed himself ts much the superior to Lord Clarendon, as he proved himself to be of the heretofore Gov. Tallmadge, of Wisconsin, and General Scotl. His great strength lay in his determination to keep the right track —to stand still and examine, until he found on' the true direction, and then go on. He would undertake nothing without being possessed of a good reason for acting—and it fared ill with the wight who ventured to qaeation or condemn his course in a manner'that requir ed of him a reply. From his youth to bis old age he was industrious—laborious—aqd> I believe, bis chief aim was the public good in all that he did. Ido not remember any act of his life ibat would lead rae to think he had any of that selfish ambition whicb 100 often urges men to seek office meraly to grat ify a pride of place.

The following notice of the business of Frick, Slifer & Co., boat builders of Lewie burg, we lake from the Home Gazelle: " The boats built by them have all been built for the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and the Delaware and Hudson Canal Compa ny. They are generally 60 feet in length, 14 feet 2 inches beam, and 64 feet hold.— Weight, about 40 tons, and will carry 120 tons. Their average value we judge to be about 51,400. From 75 to 140 hands are constantly employed by them, and the wages paid them are from Si 12 to St 50 pet day. Tltey occopy about 40tf feet river front, aftd their yard and buildings cover about 5 acres of ground. From 50 to 100 rafts ol square timber are purchased by them each year; and besides these, from 4 to 6 teams sre con stantly employed during the winter in haul-, ing timber to their m.ill, from limber lands which they purchase at convenient to the mill as they can be prooored. During the summer there teams are employed on the canal ; they keep boats running to carry lum ber, coal, flour, feed, &c. One hundred boats at 5J,400 each, amonnt to $140,000, and their sales of coal, lumber, &c., would make (heir business sum up something over one hundred and filly thous and dollars a year. One hundred and forty hands at an average of $1 25 per day, wonltl be $175 a day, or $54,775 a year, paid ont by them to mechanics and laborers in our town; and this they have done. We are just giving an estimate based on the largest amount ol business done by them in any one year, ai shown by their books, and furnished to us by Mr. Graham." IW In regard to the impression attempted to be made by the opposition press, that William F. Packer is e prohibitionist, we give the words of a Democratic cotetnpora ry "An effort has been made by the opposi tion to create the impression that Gen. Packer, 1 when in the State Senate, was a Maine Law Than, and advocated the passage of the some what celebrated Jug Law, so called—although this enactment was made ftco yeari efltr he retired fiom Ike Senate I The same party that now attacks Geo. Packer ia the party that was loudest in advancing prohibitory and re strictive laws, then denounced in untneaser td terms Gso. Packer and the whole Demo cratic party because they would aot go into The truth Is, that Gen. Paoker during big entire senatorial oaieer, did nothing more than to vote for leaving the whole question of prohibition to the decision ol the sover eign people. His acta are part of the Legia lative bit tor) of the State, and an examination of the Journals of the Senate, during the lime he was a member of tbe body, wi!l show that this is bis only offenoe—nothing more. And this Is doubtless tbe reason why these peliii co-temperanoe writers sod orators are now attacking him. CAN'T-SWALLOW NEG ton WHOLE.-— The Wilmington Herald, a staunch Rapublioan paparin Illinoit, which baa swallowed all iba isms of Iba party without a bona sticking in its throat, has not the saacoods-like property of gulping down "negro equality," though covered with the saliva of "brodderly" feel ing and mock philanthropy, previous to de glutition. The editor aaya: v " Wheoaver negro suffrage beooraas nan of the planks of the Republican plaAiorao, we ahaS leal free to seek some other political or ganieation, and we think we should find moat of our Republican brethren io the same way."

AM INVCNTIOM baa been brought forward which promises soaaething of importance in enabling the compass to work with certainty ooiron vessels, ft ronsiste solely in covering the ordinary .-box with cork, or the pith of eider wood, with several coats of resinous varnish or sealing wax.

THX SABBATH.— It is,very remarkable that the heathen nations, who can be supposed to have no knowledge sf lb* law or history of Moaes, account one day of the seven more sacred than the rest. Hesiod styles the seventh day, 'the illustrious of tire Son:' and Homer says, 'Then came the seventh day, which is sacred or holy.' Almost all nations, 100, who have any notion of relig ion, have appropriated ona day in seven to the purpose of public devotion. OT The Southern Journal of Medical Sci ence states "that a boy in the vieinity of eight years of age, has bin lower extremities turned completely amend. The heels are in front end the toes behind." We have in thess parts a political fustts naturae of the same kind in the Republican purty. Its ne gro heels are always |a front, and its toes are pointed behind, indicating ita 'advance back wards.'
