Last month the counties of Northampton, Montgomery and Berks paid 'the whole of their Slate lax for 1857 into the treasury. Of these Northampton paid (30,000, Montgom ery over 840,000 and Berks over $65,000. — We like the steady German industry and thrift which has proved itsell on many occa sions the main pillar ol the slate. It is this reliable and respectable element in the char l acter of our people that alone can keep our honest old Commor.wealih from bankrupting herself by indulging in every wild stock speculation, and from disgracing herself by running into every political fanaticism that springs from the distempered brains of Now England men. The German Democrats of Berks, North ampton and Montgomery have a solidity of character which make" thorn worth mote to keep the state from rocking into disorder and misrule than a dozer, of the Republican coun ties like Bradford or Potter. The staid and solid German character lias a hearty rever ence for God and an honest respect for his country. He lives by thrift, and not only by "hook or by crook"—by honest toil and not by dishonorable tricks—by a conscientious devotion to duty, and not by cunning craft. As to Yankee "smartness" in sustaining schools take the following example from j Bradford Last year in one district a school j tax of ten mills oil the dollar was laid, which yielded a trifle over one hundred dollars, and j teas spent in unwise litigation. In another dis- i irict the superintendent says of the school- ! •house "1 pity the children and teachers who tneet horei A humane man provides j , better shelter for bis sheep. Should say the model of this house was a canal shanty, but j it is a bad imitation.'' One district reports ttven schools, and levies 8217 lay for their support. Another reports ten schools, and levies 8300 school tx. The Republican rec ord goes on to say:— "Wilmot township is more remarkable for petty law-suits than excellent schools. It is new and chiefly a lumbering district. Thir teen mills school lax is paid by the people, and still thu amount raised from it is not suf ficient to keep open lour months' decent schooling. This is hard. When will the slate be just to these oppressed parents and wronged children ? "There was but one school open in Wilmot last winter, and that was not fiot-raie. The directors said they had not the means to pay fair wages lor teaching, and could not get in structors at such prices as they were able to pay. Number seven i a lair school house but has a bail location. Number threo is tol erable. Found two other frames of little val ue, anil th<ee log houses of the poorest sort." Some of these people corpe down in win ter to teach the "Pennsylvania Dutch." One starts out to peddle a receipt for makiug "A Universal everlasting soap." One goes on a vagrant tour to preach spiritualism. A third lectures on phreuology. A fourth goes out to make hia "tarnal lortin" as a Homeopathic doctor. Another sella "MAgio Oil" to the un itiated, and the remainder cry out to Berks Co. "come up and help us to pay our school lax for we have sore need o! your aid just now." We say to tbeso men look after your "op pressed parents and wronged children" at home, and teach them to make honest,steady and useful citizens before you trouble your selves about the people of the South. It seems there if quite enough work to do in some of that Republican North until the school houses shall become equal to the hou ses of many blacks iu the South. Popular Sovereiguty. The last number of Jilackieood's Magazine ha# a strong and able article upon the sub . ject oT representation in Parliament from the British American colonies. It wss long since proposed to allow each of the Canada* two members, New Brunswick two, Nova Scotia two, New Foundland one, and Cope Breton one; but the Tory propensities of the ministry resisted and defeated 'lie project. Now, however, the danger of losing these colonies is becoming too imminent; and the old cry of-"no taxation without representation" again swells over the Atlantic. Judge Halliburton has gone to England, like Franklin in 1774, to demand the right of self government for the British subjects of the American colonies, and even Blackwood agrees to give them a voice in Parliament. This is a significant sign of the times, as : indicating the spirit of sell-government or popolar sovereignty even in the subjects of a liberal monarchy. It indicates too th< even the strong, strict government of England is compelled to listen to the voice of ite people; and that in this age men wilt not be ruled by an irresponsible power three thousand miles away. Aid if even the least liberal of the British statesmen begin to concede this right of self government to distant colonists, would it not be strange if republican America refused it to her child re Diu Kansas 1 If tbe Canada* wiH not be govwned bf strangers in London, wby should cor people ol tbo territories be - ruled by those who are as nfaoh stranger* to >hea at Washington ekyl r Giving It up. The Montour American, the new Know , Nothing and Republican paper of that coun ty, feels the ground sliding out from under its feel, and surrenders tho political battle in the following language:— " From present indications, there is no prospect of defeating Packer. A triangular fight must result in the defeat of the opposi tion ; and in cur presont divided slate we may as well let it go by defautr, while we feel assured that we have the numerical strength to succeed, if united on a single tick el. We are not defeated by the popularity of Gen. Packer or the prestige of the Demo cratic parly, but we are sell-defeated and ren jdered powerless by the imprudent zeal of ul tra Republicans and intense Americans. The settled conviction of our mind has ever been, that 'united we stand, divided we fall.'" Montour ( ouiity. Valentine Best announces himself as a can i didate for Congress. 1 George D. Bntler and William H. Johnson ■* of Danville are candidates for Prolhonotary. Mr. Chiids will not be a candidate for re elec , lion, but designs to take to the practice of law for which he lias been preparing himself ' He made a very competent officer. The Tieasurer of Montour paid off the , whole amount of stale tax due from that coun f ly for 1857. f Bishop Poller last week ordained as Dea- i • cons of the Episcopal Church, Hurley Baldy i ■ and Isaiah Gougler ol Reading. Struck by Lightning. On last Monday evening Sheriff Miller re- j ceived a despatch from Mr. Maley of Pitts- : r ton to arrest two passengers on the Packet— \ ' one Mary Maley, his wife, who had eloped i with a man named Byrant Yard. This was j the man to be arrested. The SherifThaslen- j 1 ed to the Canal, and, along witlt Morris Van j Buskirk. found the runaways on the Packet i and arrested them. They had two trunks 1 . wiih them which the Sheriff secured. They ! had through tickets to Philadelphia, and no ; doubt think the lightning played them a scurvy trick. THE PRESS. —We have received the first number of Col. Forney's new Democratic . daily—"The Press." It looks well, reads well, and bears all over it the marks of the ; gentleman and the scholar. It is just such a ; paper as we would expect from Col. Forney's | capacity and experience. The terms are for the doily 86 a year; for the tri-weekly 83 a ! year, for the weekly as low as Si a year lo j clubs ol 20. | A FANDANGO. —Our town was awakened on last Monday from its noon nap by the i j display and pomp of a party of colored j gemtnen and their sweethearts, on a fancy J excursion to OrangoviHo. Several of them | dove a span in fine style, and they had no j j doubt a merry time at tho "ancient village." j i sr Judge Wilmot lately in bullying style j challenged Gen. Packer lo stump the State ! together after the fashion of the Southern j hot bloods. For commanding ami dignified | reasons tins plan of discussion is declined, i but by no means discussion itself. We will j publish the correspondence next week. j CP The Upper Nordi Branch Extension Canal will be opened in August. The Wilkes- ! barre Record learns from Col. Hollenbnck, 1 who has just returned from the Junction, that i lha repairs of dams at Johnny Cake, on the Chemung, and at llore Race on the Susque hanna, are progressing rapidly, and will be in a stale to fill their respective levels in a few weeks. The great excess of water this season has delayed the canals and interfered j with the mines. DEATH FROM GRIEF.— An instance of death i from sudden grief has just occurred in this 1 city. It is that of a slavo woman, named Mary Jane, aged about 30 years. She had | been the nurse of an interesting infant of Mr. j Paulus Thyson, of 7th street, which died on Sundny morning last. As soon as the spirit j of the little sufferer had passed away, the ) faithful nurse sunk into unconsciousness, and j. thirty hours thereafter expired, without other | apparent cause thar. the grief (hat bail over powered her. She belonged to Mr. Thyson, \ and had been the nurse of all his children. — j This is but another illustration of the fervor of the affections that so pre-eminently char- j acierizes the African race, especially when , educated under the influences of kind autf gentle associations.— Washington Stales. \ CP The sale of lots at Port Treverton on Saturday, the 25th, attracted quitd a large j assemblage of personß. There were about 80 lota sola, at prices ranging from S3O lo , 8115. These lots are 25 feet front and 150 | deep. The best lots were uoi put up for j sale. Mr. Bennet, of the great auction firm j of F. W. Bennet & Co., Baltimore, was the auctioneer on the occasion, who kept a hun- ( gry and thirsty crowd in constant good hu- j mor. for several hours, by hia short and wit- f ty speeches. After the sslr the refreshment* ' were served on tho tables, under the shade ; trees. In consequence of a break ill the ca nal a number of boatmen were present, who j after indulging in a free feast, concluded the . performance, on their part, in a free fight.— j Sunbwy American. AN OLD INFIDEL. —The Ilon.J. R.Giddings j has written a characteristic letter to the Tri- j bune, in which he says that the "God of: Abraham" is not his God; that he despises ' him and holds him in contempt; that he is an idol or the deity of the slave holders, and j they are right in worshipping him. He (Gid- ' dings) don't wotsbip nor believe in the Gocl of (be Bible, but he has one of his own— that is, an anti-slavery God—a nigger, we suppose, some odious creature who winks at pillage and theft. Seriously, though is it not disgraceful that a widely circulated newspa per should give currency to this old driveler's blasphemy 1 GTIt ia said that Wilmot spends half bis j time in Philadelphia, drinking ale and lager beer, iu order lo eonviuoe the German* that he's not a fanatic on the temperance ques tion. Lottery Specnlntlons--Tlielr Nature. ■ Since our financiers undertook to quarrel ■ with lotteries, they have given the world a > worse thing in the shape of fancy stocks, > which promise a great deal, and seldom ben efit any one except the managers. Well > 1 conducted lotteries, like the Jaspor County r Academy, managed by Messrs. Anderson & ■ Son, at Mtcon, and Savannah, Georgia, are ! not, in our opinion, liable to any objection, r Tho purchaser knows ho is to run the risk I of losing his money ; but he is equally well • aware that he tnay win largely. Their next drawing, we understand, will take place on • the 17th day of August inst., and should it ■ 1 come off as expected, it will be one of the - ! greatest of its kind—the capital prizes being i i 860,000, $20,000, $10,007, 85,000, $4,000, : i $2,000, anil so on down to three thousand prizes of S3O each, making in all, 3,286 pri zes, and only 30,000 tickets issued against them, being onoprizo lo every nine tickets. Those wishing to purchase tickets, which vary in price from two and a half to ten dol i lars, had better send their orders as soon as possible to Anderson & Son, Macon, Geor gia, as "delays are dangerous." Their small : j schemes arc drawn every Saturday—tickets | from one to four dollars. ! \V*n IN THE PACIFIC. —WhiIe the eyes of ,I Europe atjd America have been directeij to | wards the movements of Great Britain, in la | king possession of I'erim and trying lo get j one of the Buy Islands, they have entirely I overlooked what is occurring in the Pacific, ( among the guano islands. The island of i Elide, in the Pacific, a mile and a quarter ! from the coast of Lower California, was re- I cently visited by some Americans from San Francisco, claiming it and its guano under a Mexican title. There wore two other parlies claiming under other utles, and one o( these fitted out a schooner, tailed for the island, ■ where they found the first parly in possession, 1 landed eight men with eight rifles and a pis | 101, and took the possessors prisoners and j seized all their properly. The island was ! then fortified, and the prisoners sent to San i Francisco. In the latter city they entered , a complaint against their captors, who were | arrested. The Court has now the subject iof jurisdiction under consideration. But it ! is supposed that no more blood will be shed. IP The straw Bonnet business appears to ' have been overdone in Massachusetts, and hence there are great complaints of dull times 'in the trade. In Franklin alone seven mill i ions of straw bonnets have been manufac tured, enough for one quarter of the heads, great and small, old and young, in the Uni- j I ted Slates Many people have the idea, thai j ! fashionables in our large cities control tbe style of bonnets; in o'her words, that the fashionable buyer, and not the manufacturer, ! decides the styles of bonnets lo be made.— This is not so. The manufacturer controls I this matter completely. Last fall there was ' an association of bonnel-mxkers organized j in Massachusetts, for the purpose of making ' tho style uniform, ar.d it is said they have entirely succeeded in their purpose. ' New Discovery of Guano. —The California ' papers contain accounts of the successful ex ploration of the new guano island Kleile, on the Coast of Lower California, about the own- J ersliip of which there has recently been a law suit ill San Francisco. A cargo of one hundred and twenty tons was recently brought lo San Francisco, and is said to be equal in quality to Peruvian guano. The island was sold by ; Mexico to Atnericau citizens some time ago. i The properly is in Americans, but the sover eign'y of the island is in Mexico. The Direct Trade between Europe i.nd the '■ South. —The Hon. Wm. B. P:e6ton, of Vir i ginla, will sail for Europe on Saturday, on - his mission to secure the establishment of a i line of steamers from England to the waters lof tbe Chesapeake. It is stated that all the railroad companies in Virginia, and some in . Kentucky and Tennessee, have joined the ! movement, and that the parties now pledged to the enterprise represent a capital of 850,- , 000,000. It will probably require all that to | lorce trade from the channels it naturally flows into when left unrestricted. ' GONE TO THE Bow-wows!— Col. Humphrey Marshall ir. tbe course of a political speech at the Court House in Lonisville, Ky., on Saturday evening, pronounced the Know i Nothing organization dissolved, ritual, oath, | and all. He said he claimed no man's vote , on the ground that he had taken the oath of ' the order. He said he didn't know how many degrees he had taken, but he knew he bad done a good deal of hard swearing; but he considered himself and all others released from their oaths by the ectiou of the order. CP" The Honduras Oceanic Railroad, it is said, ba> been completely organized in Lon . don, and will proceed at once to locate and construct the road, which would open anoth er communication between the Atlantic and Pacific. From the statements of the compa- \ ' ny. it would appear that they are a "little I ' short" of tho amount necessary to complete j ; the road. SUGAR.—' Tbe sugar speculation has reached its culminating point, and prices are now on ; the decline. The probabiliiies are that, with ! die vast product this year from thb sugar car.e. ' the maple tree and the sorghum, with the | stock unsold of last season, we shall soon havo cheap sugar as well as cheap bread. CP" A conference of the Lutheran church, ' embracing 20 or 30 Ministers and Elders, ; was held in Lewisburg, Monday and Tues -1 day of last week. BP Clayton B. Lamb, of the well known i mercantile firm of Sieger, Lamb & Ca, Phil- ( ' adelphia, died suddenly at Saratogo on last ; Thursday evening. tP On last Saturday the Pennsylvania Railroad Company took possession of the Main Line. IP Pick pockets are becoming trouble some at Cape May. IP The best mode of revenge is not to imitate the injury. ffltlior* LETIGK. 1 Hoi as the weather is, we have psiiemly i waded through two columns of whal purports , lo be a reply to certain interrogatories ad dressed to Judge Wilmot by some of hissup • porters who are anxious lo make him a Know ' Nothing. : The first interrogatory reads thus : > 1. Do yoa hold that in the election or?p --■ pointment of all officers native born Ameri- : cans should he preferred t I To this he replies that "fee history of onr t State establishes a wise and aafe policy in re > spect to the point embraced in yonr/irsf in- I lerrogatory." Well, then, if the history of our Sine shows that "a wise and safe policy" has heretofore been pursued in regard to the appoiutmeot and election of naturalized citi zens to office, the Know Nothing creed and assertions on that point are alike false. Hence "/i Wilmot a Know Nothing?" But he en lightens us further by adding that "occasions may arise, when an enlightened and faithful disohaige of duty, would demand our sufira ges fo- tho naturalized citizen, in preference to one borq on our soil." Immortal Know Nothings, where are you now ? Does your creed admit that you vole for a naturalized citizen in preference to a native born ? Now give us a specimen of youf consistency, your sincerity, and your honesty ! "Americans must rule Amerita" forever!! And you, "Americans" fh'ust permit the Republicans to whip you into the harness and make you vote for a man who repudiates and scorns \ your creed ! Oh, how fallen, ye ramparf'in tense" Americans! . 2. Are you in favor of the protection of American labor, American rights, and Airier f ican interests? 1 To this, your second interrogatory, I shall I content myself with a simple affirmative an- I swer. I In the name of sense, who would not give an affirmative answer! Kvery free trader in the world will say AMEN to that. But they could not make him say he was in favor of a protective tariff as advocated by Clay and Websier, and the Pennsylvania Whigs ? To the 3d interrogatory, a rigmarole about "purification of the ballot box," "reform in the naturalization laws," "foreign paupers," &0., he sayar • —- "It has ever been a source of just pride to the true American, that bis country opened an asylum for the oppressed of every land. God forbid that we should be so ungrateful for his blessings, as to refuse lo share them with the honest and industrious of whatever clime our country ; but it is an outrage upon I our hospitality, and a violation of in ternHtion ' al law, for the Government of the Old World I to ship cargoes of criminals and paupers on our shores." There is more Know Nothingism for you ! Ha! ha! ha! "Js Wilmot a Know Nothing?'' "Oh, ye Gods and little fishes, Leather spoons and paper dishes !" But then follows a little sulve—the 4th in terrogatory : 4. Are you opposed lo any interference of Church Hierarchies inji'olitics? Tp your four iKinierrogatwy I answer: that I am opposed to the interference of Hierarch ies in politics. The office of a Christian Minister is second to no other in dignity and responsibility- I would not detract from bis functions, or impair the respect due to his character. I acknowledge his right, and as teacher of other people, believe it to be his duty, to speak openly and fearlessly against social and political evils, destructive of public morals and al wat with the interest and hap piness of mankind." Tho plain English of this answer is, that if thy "ChristiaujMimster" preaches aboli tiou politics, then he is right for the ministry to engage in that occupation, but not other wise. Bah, David, that is beneath you. You would have scoricd such demagogueism in your Democratiellays. You coolly assume, too, that the Catholics are all Democrats, and then yaß condemn them for tho mere fact {as you asSfert) that in polities they act together." Dare you assert, David, that such was the {act previous to Know Nothing times ? Dare you assert that tho Republican party of the North assume that position ? You dare do neither, and well you know it. Is it singular, reader, if it be true, that the Catholics all leave a party which opposes and denounces them, and for the same time act with one which refuses to mingle relig ion with polities in any form? Bet, Mr. Wilmot, you well know that the Quakers are equally unanimous iu opposing tho Demo cratic party, and hove maintained that stub born attitude ever since the Revolution.— Should they, therefore, be held up to public execration? You have not the manliness to arraign all denominations that do these things. Why then select the catholic for example? Tsople will see your trick as 1 plain as the Jews saw the pillar of fire. Brit the 'latter wrmlsup in a "blaze of glo ry." Here is the sth interrogatory : 5. Are you in favor of Free Schools for : the education of all classes, with the Bible j as a te*t book used therein? I "To your fifth interrogatory I answer— ! that 1 am in favor of free schools for the ed i ucation of all classes ; and am opposed to ' any exclusion of the Bible therefrom." ' There you are, on our own platform, just where yon have no business to be. Why did you not answer the question that was as ked: are you io favor of the use of the Bible as a Text Book in school ? You answer that you are opposed to its "exclusion from school"—very different subjects!" In our connection with public schools wd have al ways opposed the use of the Bible as a text book, because we regarded such use as ir reverent and irreligious,as well-as improper for other paeons, buf have always insisted that the sehoelp should be opened every day by the teacheeywading a small portion of the scripture to the pupils. Now, friend David, we are at a loss to know whether yon en dorse onr views or not We guess you do, or else you would have answered the ques tion frankly. Now, we challenge the K. N. organs and orators to show ue from this letter whether Wilmot is aK.N. or not. He dare not date his real position ON that iuue! He is a Cote Boy candidate, figfctiqgon all sides for booty —a freebooter politician, catching at every thing and dodging everything, to catch votes. If elected, he must cheat half the men that vote for him, and will most probably cheat all. We have given a fair, frank version of his letter, and it is biMtch a deliberate sys tem of double and amusing duplicity thnt he expects to be elected, if such a wild dream ever crossed his imagi nation.— Clinton Democrat. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. THE inula MUTINY INC REASING. QUEBEC, July 27.—.The Steamship North American has arrived with Liverpool dates lo the 15th instant, lour days later than pre vious advices. Advices by the overland mail announce an claiming spread of the mutiny among the native troops in India. Twenty-three regiments have joined the mutiny. They were defeated by the Gov ernment troopa outside of Delhi, but the unity still remained in the possession of the insur gents. General Anson, (he British Commander in-chief, had died of cholera, and has been succeeded by Sir Colin Campbell. The news from India has caused a decline of Consols in the London money market.— A reduction in the rates ol discount by the Rank of England was anticipated to take plate on Thursday. N The fall of Delhi was looked for hourly* when Ihe Indian mail left. The loss to the Bengal army in conse quence of the mutiny was estimated at 30,- 000. It was believed Ihe crisis had passed. The latest advices indicate a panic. The desertion among the insurgents was acting vigorously. Sir Colin Campbell started at a few hours' notice. Advices from Calcutta to June 7ib, repre sent that disaffection is entirely confined to the army. The native troops bad been diaarmed, and most of them stationed in Punjaub. The latest from Delhi states that the heights around the town are in possession ol the Government troops, who attacked and drove the rebels within the walls, capturing twen ty-six guns. The Bambay and Madras armies continu ed firmly loyal. The steamship Erin, from Bombay, with China mails, had been wrecked on the coast of Ceylon on the 6th of June. Her passen gers, mails and specie were all saved. Her cargo, valued at a million of dollars, and the vessel, were lost. Fimc.—'The details of the conspiracy in Paris, which have lately been brought to i light, present it in a more serious form than | | had ever been anticipated. I It is alleged that Mazzini escaped in a ' ship carrying the American flag. The Paris correspondent of the London j Times says that tho recently discovered con spiracy was more serious than any known, considering ihe character of the conspiracy, the extent of the ramifications and objects proposed—which included the assassination of the Emperor and revolution throughout ihe whole of Southern Europe. Tho members of the Provisional Govern ment were already named by the conspira tors, and the plans were nearly peifeotcd when discovered. Lord Palmerston having declared hostility to the Suez Canal, pro duced considerable sensation in France.— The Paris journals comment severely upon - it. Two Week* Later from California. AItItIV A I. OK llll*: ILLINOIS. NEW YORK, July 27.—Tho United Slates mail steamship Illinois, from Aspinwall on the 19th, with California dates to the sth inst, arrived at this port at 2 o'clock this af ternoon. Business in San Francisco was unusually dull, and there were several heavy failures. The primary election of Delegates to the Democratic Gubernatorial Convention, re sulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Broderiok. party. Mr. Weller was doubtless nominated on the first ballot. The miners held a meeting, denonnoing Fremont's Mariposa claim, and threatening resistance. The "Know-Nothings" are taking meas ores for the re-organization of the parly in California. The markets of San Francisco are glutted | with all kinds of produce. There being no 1 demand, prices were rapidly depreciating, while money was accumulating, and rates tending downward. Gntlego Flour was nominal at 813. Pork had declined fully 87 bO per bbl. for both Mess and clear; the sales were al $32 50 a $33 lor Mess, and $35 for clear, cash. Holloway's Pills and Ointment. —The axe is not more necessary in new settlements than are these wonderful medicines, which cure with rapidity nnd certainty all those debili tated affections of the stomach and the bow . els which paralyze industry in unhealthy re gions.

TTAS established a greater celebrity than has ever been obtained by any other Starch. This has been the result of its marked su periority iu quality, and its invariable uni formity. The miblic may be assured of the continu ance of the h gh standard now established. The production is over Twenty Tons daily, and the demand hasextended throughout th whole ol the United States, and to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and under a rigid system, they are able to secure a perfect and uniformity in the quality tnrough out the year. This is the great.Desideratum in Starch-making, and is realized now lor the first time. The very beat starch that can be made, cod no other, is always wanted by consumers, and while this will be supplied to them by the grocers, as soon as their customers havo learned which is the best, and ask for it— ; otherwise they woold be likely to get that article on which the largest profit can ba made. Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the manufacture of starch continuously for the last 27 years, and during the whole of the period, the starch made under his supervis ion has been, beyond any question, the bast • in the market. For tbe first 17 years, be bad the charge of the works of Wm. Colgale & Co., at which period he invented the process of the manufacture of corn starch. ty Ask for Kings ford's Starch, as the name Oswego has recently been taken by another fac tory. T. KINGSFORD & SON'S OSIPEGO CORN STARCH, (For Puddings, fe ,) Has obtained an equal celebriiy with their Starch for the Laundry. This article is per fectly pure, and is, in every respect, equal to the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav ing additional qualities which render it inval uable for the dessert. Potato Starch bas been extensively packed and sold as Corn Staroh, and has given false impressions to many, as to ibe real merits of our Corn Starcb. From its great delicacy and parity, if is coming also into extensive use as a diet lor infants and invalids. E. N. KELLOGG & CO., Agents. 196 Fulton Street, N.
