13T" Ihis season ol the year is peculiarly
suggestive. To-morrow is the Ist of Apr;!;
a day of general sublunary reckoning, sog
gestive, wo say it in all soberness, tifa'r.iore
important day. Reader, hq ,v stands the ac
count? we ask with reference to tho Ist of
April, and to that other day.
About the usual number <8" changes will
occur to-morrow, in Bloom,find in the coun
ty. But it is apparent to a careful observer
that each year brings more stability. The
•dwellers in the land, in town and country,
■are becoming more generally possessors
We are in fivor of that reform which has
for its object tho providing of every mau
with a home of his own.
Our friends in the country will find many
things in Bloom the coining year about as
they have been. Our staid and reliable
business friends, McKelvy, Meal St Co., of
course never change. Klias Meudenhall,
A. C. Mcnsch, A. J. Sloan, A. J. Evans,
" the Harlraan Boys" and "Jerry Brower,"
all expect to do business at their old stands
in their usual honest, prompt, and gentle
manly fashion. Mrs. Clark will still provide
for the literary appetite of the people, Mr.
Lowenberg for the bucks, Messrs. Else &
Wilson for the stomachs, and Mr. Unangst,
for the soles of the people, at their usual
places.
We might mention other dealers equally
worthy, but their names do not occur in the
Lurry in which this is written.
Peter Billmeyer of the "Exchange," and
John Leacock of the "American" will
remain at their posts, both being proprietors.
Robert Hagenhuch, who was formerly well
known as the keeper of an excellent house
at Light Street, lakes the place of our res
pected friend James Freeze, at the "Forks."
Mr. Freeze retires to his farm.
Tiie reliable and pithy "Columbia Demo
crat," the vigorous but rather eccentric
"Republican," and the didactic and high-toned
"STAB" (THE BEST PAI'ER OF THE
THREE,) will be fouud occupying the same
position on the ramparts of the citadel of
Freedom that they have heretofore so hon
orably maintained, ali laboring in the same
good cause, differing only a leelle in their
views of the manner of reaching the result.
All are confidently expecting the arrival
soon of better limes. Our furnaces are at
work, and hope soon to be able to pay their
hands in good old lashioned CASH. Most of
.our Merchants expect to replenish their
stocks of goods.
The sky is brightriing a little, the meas
)£g have passed through the town, and we
trust thai 'he good time so long looked for,

RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT, —Oit<2 of our city
religious exchanges computes the number
of conversions which have occurred during
the last three weeks to be about £O,OOO li om
all denominations. Their list had reached
over 17,000 when they were obliged, for
want of room, to condense it, and discon
tinue further additions save from their own
denomination,—striking out the Methodist
portion entirely (as the next largest). The
whole number reported in that paper during
the last two months reaches at least 40,000.
The total of the following list, during the
last couple of weeks, its abridged, is nearly
J 1,000 : Maine, 202; Nfltv Hampshire, 103;
Vermont, 93; Rhode Island, 225; Mass
achusetts, 716; Connecticut, .*>7B; New Y or k,
1,691; New Jersey, 317; Pennsylvania, 671;

>W bat our letral correspondent complains
of is, that this publisher quite gratuitously
inserted b'.s name as a reliable Lawyer in
the firm sheet, and incontinently cuts him
in the other. A refusal to comply with a
request which this Mr. Livingston,
'.mly incidentally, of course, makes, to send
him ten dollars, may have something to do
with this, but, as the profound Hunsby
would say, 'for whyV How can the pay
ment cf ten dollars make a man reliable ?
Mr. Livingston may be a very enterpris
ing gentleman, but that he is a very discreet
one is slightly doubtful; as the propriety of
publishing a lawyer one month as reliable,
and saying virtually the next month that he
is not, is qnestionable.
Men who occupy fte responsible position
of attorney do not care to have their names
made the sliuttle-cock of every man who
sets himself up as the publisher of "cata
logues"— to be kept up only as long as the
dollars corns in. Our notion is, that, as a
general rule, the man who don't pay his ton
dollars is quite as reliable as he who does.
CTTho season for warm weather and or
gan-grinders is fast approaching. One of the
latter made his appearance in this place on
last Friday with a music-box on lus back,
weighing, if you judge lrom the size of it,
about troo hundred. which at every public
corner and plnce, where symptoms of "cop
pers" and i'lliree-eenl-pieces" were indica
tive, he would plant and commence grinding
out music for the enjoyment of the surround
ing listeners.
The veteran Italian being the first one
of the season, success must have attended
his labors, as he was teen several days in
this place. Luckily he escaped a cold wat
er-batli, for the big little boys are in the habit
of applying doses of "Adam's Ale" to their
filthy looking bodies when thought essen
tial, both to rid the place of ihetn and for
their own good, in order that their days iny
he lengthened.
The halcyon days are being enjoyed some
what, but to no great extent. The industri
ous farmers are plowing and sowing oats,
and here an' there one planting potatoes,
in this neighborhood. We claim not to be
a horticulturist,but wedpine that the ground
is a little too cold yet lor vegetation. In a
'few days' "Old Sol" will jerk things—make
all vegetables sprout and grow —the grain
fields and meadows will present a beautiful
appearance.
SAD ACCIDENT IN LAWRENCE COUNTY.—A
lady named Anna Cross, was killed near
Pine Point, a few days since, under the fol
lowing circumstances: She had been at
tending worship in the Presbyterian Church
at Pottsville, and while returning home in a
buggy with a relative named Enken, with
whom she had been tarrying a few weeks,
the horse ran oil', upsetling the vehicle, and
killing Miss C. instantly. Mr. F.akcn was
much injured, his head being cut in two
places, and his breast badly bruised. A lit
tle son of Mr. was bruised on the head, and
had two fingers on his left hand cut off-
Miss Cross' was a member of the Episcopal
Church, and an educated lady, and had
taught a select school in Philadelphia. She
was about to pursue her journey to the
Stale ot Missouri, where she has a brother,
Rev. Wm. Cross, of the M. E Church. She
was about fifty-five years of age, and is
said to have three sisters residing in Hunt
ingdon couniy.
C3T The Merchants in this place nre en
gaged in preparing for the opening of the
spring trade. To acquaint the public in
general with the character ot their wares,
the best method is (decidedly so) to an
nounce it through a public journal, and that
journal to bo the Star of Ike Korth. Nobody
pretends to dispute, that he, who advertises
fre&.'y will secure the favors of the public.
We have facilities for advertising that can't
he surpassed bv any journal in this section
of country, therefore merchants and others
had belter improve the opportunity. A
word to the wise ivas always been consid
ered sufficient.
CP" Our townsman, M.'. JACOB Dctr., took
his departure frotn town this (Tuesday)
morning, with a lot of good horses for New
York City. Owing to the titeness of money
matters it is not very encouraging for deal
ers in horse-flesh, or any other kind, to go
into market, sinless with superior stocjc,
which we are informed Mr. D. has.

PS* Along with other advancements of the
day, the "Bloomsburg Braes Band" is not in
the rear. For the space ol time, and the
amount of instruction, they execute music
exceedingly woll. The prospects of a num
ber one band are flattering. The stove of
musical talent which they possess is devel
oping itself to the surprise of all who hear
them. Clear tho track with your •''.store

We learn from the Danville Democrat,
that in tho ease of the Commonwealth vs.

which offence defendant was tried and con

AFFAIRS IN LIBERIA.—A recetit letter from

DESTRUCTIVE FlßE.— Nearly Sixty Henri of
Choice Cattle Destroyed.— About two o'clock,
on Tuesday morning, the large stone barn
and stables on the country place oi Thomas
I'. Remington, Esq.. on the Lancaster Turn
pike, in Lower Merion township, wero en
tirely destroyed by fire. The fire had ob
tained so great a headway when it was dis
covered and the (lames spread with such
rapidity that but few of the large number of
choice cattle in the building were saved.'—"
There wero about seventy head of horned
cattle and lour horses in ilia stables. Four
teen ot tbo cows and one calf were saved,
and three horses got out; all tbo rest per
ished in the flames.
Mr. Remington's stock of cattle was cel
ebrated for its excellence. They were
short-homed Dnrhams and Alderneys, and
were of the very best description. All the
valuable machinery, vehicles and utensils,
and a large quantity of hay and feed,, and
the buildings in which they were stored,
were destroyed, involving a very heavy loss
upon which there is no insurance, the poli
cies having expired within a short time, and
not having boon renewed.
Tns Revivxr..— There is stll the greatest
possible religious excitement every day .at
Jane's Hall. The prayer meetings held there
in the morning are largely attended, and in
the afternoon crowds dock to the same place
to listen to sermons from various City di
vines. Yesterday aficrnoon Mr. Willits
preached. To-day there is to be another ser
mon, by whom, however, we do not know.
The spirit is not eoufiifcd, however, to one
locality in Philadelphia. All over the City,
on the contrary, prayer and exhortation
meetings arc being held, and the most
remarkable religions awakening everknown
is abroad. In New York and other prominent
cities and towns in every direction, the same
spirit is shown as bore, and there is a
chance that the excitement will increase
rather than deminish.— rhiltidctphiu, Ae.ct,

Remit af the Sumner Caurt-Martial. —We
learn from a reliable quarter that the result
of the Court-Martial upon Col. Sumner, at
Carlisle Barracks, was the acquittal of Col.
Sumner upon both the charges preferred
against him by Gen. Harney.
This result will be eminently gratifying to
the country, as it certainly is to the Army.—
Gen. Harney's conduct throughout the whole
alfair ha 3 been utterly unworthy of his pos
ilon, and eminently unbecoming an officer
and a genltcman. His remarks at the Fort
Leavenworth Court-Martial were gratuitous
ly personal and offensive, and this violation
of courtesy was greatly aggravated by his
obstinate refusal to offer Colonel Sumner
any explanation.
The Court deliberated less than fifteen
minutes before agreeing upon their verdict.
Col. Sumner loaves Carlisle this morning
for Watertown, New York, .where
meet his family. He is tinder orders for
Utah, and will leave Fort Leavenworth with
his regiment 011 the 10th of May.
LARGE HAUL or FISH.— On Friday of last
week. Jacob Fry caught wilh a seine 1000
cat-fish in the old basin, in this place. Mo
sold the whole lot to a huckster lor ?15.
This oasin appears to be inexhaustible in
cat-fish, as lust spring an equal number
were taken from it. — Sunbury American.
This goes ahead of our fishing and fisher
men in this place. A great many fish have
been caught in Fishiugereek this win
ter wilh the seine, but no one haul to corn
pair with the one above mentioned.
JAIL DELIVERY.— We learn tliat all the
prisioners in the county jail at Williainsport
mad their ascape 011 Wednesday night of
last week, They dug a hole in tho jail wall,
through which they escaped into the yard,
and with a rope and some boards soon
effected their liberty by climbing over the
wall.
THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS. —There are
more signs of business activity within the
Jast week, says the Public Ledger, than has
been seen for months past, The return to
confidence lias been slow, but it has been
sure, and the prospect is now very favorable
for a moderately profitable spring trade.—
The various channels of trade, through the
favorable weather, are opened much earlier
than last year, so a start once given to
business is not likely to meet with and im
pediment from the season.
TIIE Baltimore Clipper says that the re
ported insanity of Thomas Washington
Smith has no foundation in truth. Mr.

that about 1,000 persons have been hope

Resources of the Sooth.
Seirtaor Hammond, of South Carolina, in (
his lata speech, gave the following descrip
tion of the resources of the South: ■
: The South, he said, hps eight hundred
ahd lilty thousand sqflaro miles of territory,
an area as large as that CbVere^.by Qreat
Britain, France, Autria;Pttls*ia aSd'flpain.
The North, even after the admission of the j
two large Territories of Kansas and JVlin
nesota, Will fkll one "hundred thousand
square life.South. This does
not include the territory tying west of-llte
Rocky Mountains', Which will never come
into antagonism with the South. Wo have
the besi soil, the best climate,' indispensa
ble productions that cannot be grown else
whoro, a shore line of throe thousand miles
ar.d so indented with bays and crowded
with islands as to make the whole mcasur
ment twelve thousand miles. Through the
heart of our couutry runs the mighty Miss
issippi ipto whose bosom are poured thirty
six thousand miles of tributary streams.—
In the great valley it drains will_be the seat
of the world's empire. We have a popula
tion four times as largo as that which con
quered our independence, and a thousand
fold as st'ong. Upon onr muster rolls wo
have a millau of then. At any time the
South'can raise, equip, and maintain in the
field a larger force than any power on earth
can send against her—men, too, brought up
ou horseback, j&tii guns in llioir hands.—
The wealth of i people is to be estimated
by their surplus productions. All the on
terprises of peace and war depend on what
a nation is able to spo.nl The reports of
ihe Secretary of the Treasury show that the
exports of the United States amounted last
year to §279,000, exclusive of gold and for
eign merchandise re-exported. Of this
amount, the productions of the South are
siß.'i,ooo.ooo of our staples, making our
surplus productions worth §220,000,000,
equal to 16.66 per head of our population,
supposing it to be twelve millions, a divi
dend which no nation on earth cau show."
Voluiitt-eriug for Utah.
The passage of Mr. Quitman's bill in the
House of Representatives, at Washington,
on Friday last, authorising tho President to
accept the services of (anr regiments of vol
unteers, has aroused the patriotic spirit of
our young men. Yesterday morning a
notice appeared, signed by G. Eckendorf,
Wm. H. Siokels. and John P.'Vanleer, re
questing young men desirous of voluntering
for the "Utah Expedition," to assemble at
the Cadwalladen Gray's armory, S. W.
comer of Ninth and Walnut streets At the
hour named a large number of fine, able
bodied young men were in attendance, wil
ling and anxious to be enrolled. During
the day the place was kept open, under the
superintendance of Mr. Vanleer, and last
evening one hundred recruits had presented
themselves and been enrolled. From the
zeal manifested, there is no doubt that a
regiment can be raised in this city alone,
inside of a month, for this service. Some
of the parties in this movement have seen
service, (Hid ajMhwrnovcrs in it liava long
been indenlifted wiih the volunteer soldiery
of Philadelphia. Mr. Eckendorft was for
merly Captain of the Washington Grays, of

nies. Mr. Sickolt is now the First Lieuten
ant of the Cadwulader Grays, which com
pany served with credit in the Mexicrn war,
and Mr. Vanleer served during the Mexican
war in the Texan Rangers, and is now con
nected with the Scott Legion and Cadwala

enrollment, and fill up a regiment, and if
the bill passes the Senate, to immediately
tender their services to the President, for

Vote on Lccoitijiluu in the U. 8. Senate
The final vole on the Lecompton Consti
tution was in the United Stales Senate
last Monday, at a late hour. The bill was
passed with the following amendment:
" That nothing in this act shall be con
strued to abridge or infringe any right of
the people asserted in the Kansas Constitu
tion, at all limes to alter, reform, or abolish
their form of government in such manner
as they may think proper, Congress hereby
disclaiming any authority to interfere or de
clare the construction of the Constitution of
any Plate, except to see that it is republican
in form, ahTbmot in conflict with the Con
stitution.of the United States."
While the passage of this bill by Con
gress will localize the agitation, at the same
time it will give the people of Kansas the
right to rejwrltiis Constitution entirely, if
they please, or to .alter it to suit themselves.
What reasonable person can object to this,
or what man, knowing that the
majority in Kansas are Free State men, can
refrain from rejoicing that under this act of
Congress, there is a speedy prospect of
Kansas being a free State. The vote on the

casks of all sorts of liquor, ale, &c. Every
establishment in the palce was thus des

their bacon" by pledging their "words of
honor" not to sell liquor to any of the towns
people. One of tho town magistrates inter
