P. • Hornish, a printer of this city, was found on Sunday morning in an insensible condition on the bank of Peck ; ety creek, near Johnson station, a abort distance above Halton. He had gone up the Allegheny Valley Railroad on Satur day evening.•and, getting off the• train at Hutton, he proceeded up the track on (pot, and in crossing a bridge he fell through, a distance of twenty-three feet, upon a pile of stone, breaking two ribs, and otherwise seriously injuring himself. — His condition is somewhat critical,- but strong hopes are entertained of his ulti• plate r.ecovery. Fourth of July. Fonrl,l2 of-July is approaching, and we would like to see it celebrated in a good old fashioned way, somewhat similar to the - manner of celebrations of the kind when wo were erjoying the halcyon days of boyhood. If ever there was an appro priate time fot the celebration it is now.— Let there be servicein the churches ; let the military and firemen turn on' . let pie . riles be found in every beautiful grove that shade the streams of Western Pennsylva nia, and ekpecially the suburbs of Pitts burgh. Already has one of our fire cern panics received and accepted an invitation from a neighbarirg town to tie with them on that day. Let old and young, little and tail, grew; and smlll, Americans all turn out on that day, and us iist in awaking the echoes and remembrances of old revolu tiouarr times. Fire in Lawrenceville. A fire broke out yesterday morning at half-pest one in the dwelling house of Mrs. 'Tohn Esler, in Lawrenceville, and in a very short time it. together with a row of eight other dwellings, the property of Ro bert Wightman. &q , were burned to the ground. All of the occupants lost more or less of their household goods, and one of the . tenants, a Mr. Jackson, who was absent with his family, is believed to have lost every thing. Mr. Wightman's loss is fully covered by insurance in the Deleware _Mutual Insurance Company. Postal Matters. The report, that has gained circulation, that on and after July Ist, all letters de posited in the poet office fot mailing, on which the postage is short, instead of be. ing sent forward as now will be kept and treated as if there were no stamps on them, is not true. Letters upon which postage is Wort will, after the new law goes into effect, he forwarded as now, but double the deficiency will be demanded on deliv , ary„ This is the only change, and will probably be a sufficient inducement to the prepayment of a lull postage. From the first of May last, all postage due on unpaid letters received from foreign countries in the mails dispatched to this country from Great Britain, Ireland, Prussia, Hamburg, Bremen or Belgium, must be collected in specie or its Equivalent, rgreeable to a recent -Order from the Post Office Depart ment to postmasters throughout the coun try. Famine. We have heard considerable talk of late in regard to fears being entertained of a famine in this country. The reasons given for their fears are that the quantity of rain that has fallen is insuffi cient to bring forward the crops; second, that the fruit is dropping from the trees 014 account of dry weather; third. that the lo casts are devouring the grain and vegeta bles all over the country, and many other reasons. We do not know what the Lord has in store for as, but we do know that the farmers and gardeners are reaping a plentiful harvest of money by fostering and keeping up the fears of the people.. Marketing of all kinds ere exorbitant, and three dollars will scarcely buy what one dollar does in ordinary ceasons. We would thank our farmer friends if they would furnish us with short statements of the crepe in their neighbourhood. We do not believe that matters are so bad as re preseuted, but do behave that the few are practising upon the rears and credulity of the many for mere speculative pur• poses. Pension Office. Some idea of the amount of business ' - performed in the Pension Bureau, may be tormed when it is known that during the month of May last there were army pen sion certificates issued to widows, mothers and orphans, 78S; to invalids, 1,086, mak• ing a total of 1,874. Applications for certificates average over two hundred daily, and pensions are being granted at the rate of about 100 per day, all for the 'present war. IT is the wish of many of our citizens to iiitness an afternoon performance at Trimble's Varieties, so that ladies and the risieg generation may have an opportuni ty of seeing the two great wonders of the Age, Mias Kathleen O'Neil and Cheriskie, the wire walker and jaggier. The manage latent; therefore, intend giving a grand Idatine3 on Saturday afternoon, on which ,occasion all the company will appear, and children admitted at 10 cents. Useful Invention. Mr. William P. Patton, a machinist in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, has recently invented an im proved carpet tack. It consists of a flat oval bit of iron, perhaps half an inch long and about half as broad. From the centre of this little plate, which is about the thickness of the heads of ordinary carpet tacks, a prong or spur is punched, which tapers to a point, and which being bent to a right angle with the plate, forma ; the body of the tack. The invention is a very simple one. Its introduction to public use we know will be appreciated by house keepers, as the carpet tacks now in use are mostly a worthless article. The inventor has secured:a patent for his article, and so 11000 as the necessary machinery for the zosnuacture of them can be constrActed they will be introduced to the public.

She set her beautiful eyes on me, the tears did widely flow; and with her little lips she said " Confound you let me go." Theatre. Last night the beautiful play of the Flower Girl was presented for the last time. To-night our play-goers will have an opportunity of seeing Charles Reade's great play of Masks and Faces, in which Ettie Henderson sustains the part of Peg Woffingtor. There are many _who have striven for the palm es Peg , Woffington, but we believe among the many aspiratts Miss Deven port has thus far outstripped her competitors. The part of Peg Wot fington is a difficult character to person aria, and if Ettie Henderson snectieds-in doing it full justice, she will have been successful where many have failed. In dependent of the merits of Mrs. Ronde!. son, as an actress, the piece itself is sufti• cient to draw a full house. Multical Soiree. We dropped in for a few minutes last night, at Masonic Hall to listen to the performances of Mr. De Ham's pupils, and, as we expected, found the Hall filled with a very large and fashionable 'audi ence. We were in but a few moments, and heard but six or seven pieces, but what we did hear we were delighted with, and so appeared the audience, judging from the boquets that flew upon the stage, and the rapturous applause with which each piece was greeted. Ohio White Sulphur Springe, These springs are situated in Delaware county, Ohio, 18 miles north of Comm. bus, op the Sciota river, six miles from Lewis Centre, on the Cleveland, Colum• bus and Cincinnati Railroad, ten miles from Delaware, and five miles from White Sulphur Station, on the Springfield, Mt.

NEW Vous, June 9.—The Tribune has the following: From a gentleman fully conversant with affairs at Pert Hudson and in the Depart ment of the Gulf, we learn some interest ing tacts of the situation of Gen. Banks' army. Oar informant left Port Hudson late on the evening of the 31st ult. There had been no fighting of copse quence since the 27th, but Gen. .I:l4nks was industriously and rapidly contracting his lines and approaching the rebel work 4 The wings of our army rested on or very near the river both above and below, and there was no possibility of reinforce ments reaching the beleagured garrison. Gen. Banks had made up his mind to take the place, and be had the men and means' to do it. Gen. Sherman was hardly expected to live. Gen. Stone is at New Orleans, and wil probably receive the command of Genera Sherman' 8 division. Kirby Smith is reported to be at Frank in. Louisiana. The gunboats bombarded Port Hudson day and night on the 29th ult. without meeting with any.response. It is reported that Gen. Gardner offered to surrender the place if allowed to march out with their grins, provisions, Sze. Gen. Banks declined. Neither General Nickerson, Col. Clark, of the GI Michigan, Col. Bullock, of the 30th Massachusetts, nor Col. Payne, of the 21 Louisiana were in the least injured in the fight of the 27th. 'Col. Lull, of the Bth New Hampshire, Col. Bean. of the 4th Wisconsin, and Capt. Wortaneki, of Geri. WeitzelPs staff, were killed, and Capts. Cragon and Herren, and Lieut. Cristenden, of the 4th Wisconsin, were badly wounded. The latter regiment lost seventy in killed and wounded. Colonel Chapin, of the 116th New York regiment, was killed at Port Hudson. The Union Association of the First Dis• trict of New Orleans have tendered their services to General Banks for sixty days, whenever it may be found necessary to call for the aid of• the unconditional Unionists of New Orleans. New YORK, June 9. —The Tribune's special from the Army of the Potomac says. Matters on the Rappahannock remain substantially in statn quo. The position et our troops on the south aide of the Rappahannock have been strengthened, and the pickets cf the op posing forces are in dose proximity. NEW YORK, June 0. —A letter from Polly Island, near Charleston, dated the Ist inst., states that a few days previously, it having been observed from the look-out that James Island had a deserted appear ance, a reconnoissance was ordered,which resulted in the demonstration that there was leas than ten thousand troops there. Their number has hitherto been estimated at 10,000 to 12.000. The inference among our men was that the bulk of the rebel force hag been tent to operate against Gen. Grant. A. Hilton Head letter reports the total loss of the gunboat Shepherd Knapp. which went ashore near Nassau. Colonel Montgomery had made a raid with a col ored regiment, bringing in one thousand contrabands. The 54th colored Massachusetts reg ment has arrived at Port Royal, S. C.
