We would inform our citizens that Mr. Wm. Lighton of William port is on a visit to this place,and engaged in turning.and re pairing Pianos.

The Seminary is one of the best institutions of learning in the State, and seems to be in a very flourishing condi tion. The Weather. The drought continues in this county.and will materially injure the corn and potato crops, unless we have re freshing rains soon. In the Western States it is also very dry, in many localities, and this fact has been seized upon to enhance the price of flour, but we presume the ad ance will be only temporary, as, from all ac counts, the crops generally are pretty good. Sad Accident. We learn that the house in which Mr. J. Eyerson resided, in Brad ford township, caught fire on Friday, July T5th, and was burnt to the ground. A small child of Mr. E. was burnt to death in the house-ythe body, l owever, was taken from the building before it was consumed. The fire occurred during a short absence of Mrs. Kyerson. Mr. K. was from home at the time. The Lady's Friend. A beautiful steel engraving, called "Harvest Time," opens the August number of the Ladies Friend.

We are informed that Samuel Edmiston of Girard township, formerly of Centre county, destined his life, by hanging himself in the following manner. He went into the barn, tied a rope round his neck, threw it across a beam not quite as high as his head, passed the end dowu and put one leg over it, and then again took the rope up over the beam and held on to the end with his hands. In this position he was found at ahout 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday J uly 8th. 'Squire Coutriet held an inquest on the body a few hours later, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above elicited facts. From the circumstances named it would ap pear that the horrible deed was one a delib eration. In fact, it is said that he, on sev eral occasions previously, attempted to de stroy his life once by drinking three vials of laudanum. No special reason has been assigned for this self-destruction of life. Fire. On Friday morning, July 15th at about 8 o clock, our citizens were startled ly the cry of "l ire, at the Planinc Mill !' On hastening to the spot we soon ascertain ed that the dry kiln connected with the mill was on fire inside ; and soon our whole population men, women, and children were at hand id render such assistance as they could. 'Water lines were formed and toon the buckets passed along quite freely. ana tne root being torn on the kun. the wa tor was poured in at the top, in such quan tides as to prevent the flames from spread ing rapidly. Alter some time the end were torn out of the kiln, and most of the boards drawn out without material damage only about two thousand teet beina burnt. Great praise is due to all for their untiring ettorts in arresting the progress of .the de vouring element. The ladies are worthy of especial mention tor their timely and cm cient services in aiding in furnishing a sup ply ot water. llaa the nre not been check ed m its progress and confined to the kiln, the planing mill could hardly have been saved, and would have been a serious loss to the owners ; as it is the loss is .but small, and will only retard the operations of the null lor a few days. The pirate vessel Florida, some ten days Hnce, captured and burned five merchant vessels off Cane Mar. and took a sixth and laced the Captain under bonds for the de ivery of the vessel, and then sent the crews ot the other vessels into port on the last one captured. Several iron-clads have gone in search of the Florida and we hope she will meet the fate of the Alabama. Among the bills passed bv Congress was one providing for a special income tax of five per cent, on all incomes over $600. It is to be assessed on the 1st of October for the year preceding, and is additional to the present income tax. Itis estimated that this special tax will produce the $20,000,- wu required by the soldiers bounties. ..August Belmont, the "Chairman of the National Democratic Committee." is a Jew, a Banker, and Agent of the Rothschihh of Europe.

We Jiave not got the city ot Petersburg yet, but that is not saying we will not get it. We have drove the enemy inch by inch from the Uspidan. and we all have confidence in Grant's ability to enter Richmond before he takes up winter quarters again. When the news reached us the Union party was triumphant and had nominated Honest old Abe and Andy Johnson, for President and Vice President, it was hailed with joy, for it was a proof that our friends at home were willing and able to stand up for the right. It was more cheering to us than a victory in the field. Little Mac, showed'his true colors a little too soon for his own interest, but not any too soon for the -rood of the country, for we want no such men in authority.

Hush up the traitors at home, and we will hush up those in the field or die in the attempt. This summer' work in the field is going on well so far. We are meeting with success at every joint and I am happy to think that success fi-nwninfir our eiibrts at home.

Dear Journal : Excitement ran high in our town, during the past week. lh snaiks had a glorious time of it for the first day or two, but there came a calm over the spirit of their dreams, and before the week closed, they became as torpid as an alligator. If any one ever doubted, that there were disunion men in this locality, his douVts were removed bv the manifestations of joy that were expressed by the snaiks of this nest, when the news reached us on Tuesday last, that the rebels had attacked, and car nod the outer fortifications of W afclnngton Joy, inexpressible, was laithiully depicted on their venomous, disunion, traitorous countenances. One snaik, of a sandy Lite came rushing down street, his nineteen yards of linen, flowing to the breeze, aff ord ing ample space for a game ot base-ball, shoutiug, "glorious news, the rebels, 15, 000 strong, have carried the outer fortifications of 'Lincoln's den,' hip hurrah" and away lie sned. A 1 nion man cominir down be hind him, says to a man on the opposite side of the street, things are looking bad. Washington is in danger. ' ' The reply made him, was, let them take it, the sooner the better, that will end the war." Other snaiks wearing extensive appendages of nankeen, met where snaiks "most do con gregate" and talked jubilant over the news, planned out what the rebels would do, and what a glorious campaign document the sacking of Washington would be. Such are a few, and very few of the expression and scenes among our snaiks, on the receipt ot the news of the late rebel raid. And yet these vert' men will contend that they are true to the Constitution, and loyal, law abi ding citizens. It it is a test of loyalty. when a man glories in the downfall of the capitol of his country and rejoices that there is danger that an army of rebels may enter it and burn it ; then these snaiks are true to the Constitution, and loyal, law-abiding citizens, of the hrst mud hole. How is it, that certain men snarl, hiss, wriggle, and loam wnen tne term copper head is used, even in conversation t Only a few days ago, I was enjoying a familliar chat with a friend, and during the conver sation, the subject ot war was mentioned. From that we got on to the copperhead par ty. I had not the most remote idea, that my friend was of that species of reptile ; but at the mention of the term copperhead, I noticed a frown glide over his hitherto placid countenance, and soon he gave vent to his venom. Said he, "I am no copper head, I am a democrat, and I am in favor of mcfnn'nn 1 I T. " : " 'Voll sir, J. replied, who said you was a cop perhead. 1 know you are a democrat : or that you belonged to that party, when such a partjT existed ; but my .dear sir do you not know, that four years ago, at Charles ton, S. C, the once great democratic par- tee was rent in twain, and one wing, head ed by J elf. Davis, is to-day in rebellion against the Union ; the other wing, called the war democracy, are in deadly opposition to the Jeff Davis party, and nobly battling for the unconditional restoration ot the U nion. But tell me why vou get so excited. when I say that the copperhead party is of the Jeff. Davis pers&asion? You say vou are loyal, and in favor of the restoration of the union as it was. So am I, if we can do no better ; but if you call me a copper head or speak of the snaiky tribe, it does not irritate me, and raise my dutch as it seems to do yours." Said my friend, "vou abolitionists call all men that were formerly known as democrats, copperhead. ' ' 'Well, ' ' said I, "you may call me whatever suits your fancy, but you are in error, when you say I call all democrats copperheads. I can point ou out men in this town, who always supported, and voted the democratic ticket, ?nd to-day they are true to their colors, and v:ric. w hat, in yotir opinion, caused this rebellion? "Oh," said he, "it was slavery, of course ; that is acknowledged by all hands to be the sole cause." "Granted," said I, "and you are. in favor of the restoration of the Union as it was?" "Yes," "You are aware that slavery is the cause of the war, and has al ways been the 'bone of contention ? ' ' "Yes." "Then please tell me, why yon are in favor of restoring the Union, with the cause still remaining ?" At this stage of the chat, my friend walked to the door, and cast a wish ful look towards the clear blue sky; then turning around said to me, "I have some hay out, it looks showry, I must hurry home and get it in the barn, good day, I'll see you again." The time for deciding whether the - Old Keystone will allow her sons, who a 'e enga ged" in defending the Union, the right to vote, is drawing nigh. I hope she wdl roll up an unprecedented majority for the sol dier to enjoy that greatest of all rights that is known to the American citizen--the right of suffrage. The snaiks are making abeau tiful howl about the amendment When asked the question, are you going to vote for the amendment? Yes I'll vote for the soldier to have the right of suffrage, but I u'nn't vntp. for a 1 m nijrcer to be allowed that right This is certainly the height of absurdity, and when a man makes such an expression as that, I would set him down as a recent emigrant from the Canibal Islands, and that his knowledge o? plain English was so limited, that he could not compre hend the sentence in our State Constitution, reading, "JSvery.ichite freeman of the age of ticenty-oite years." They are making great use of the word "soldier" as it occurs in the amendment to be voted for on the second of August next ; using the argu ment that if the amendment is carried, it will allow the colored soldiers the light to vote. Poor dupes ; can't they sec that the State Constitution would have to be further amended, and read as the old constitution did, (every freeman,) before the colored sol dier can enjoy the right to vote. -No it to dodge the voting for the amendment, is sought by these snaiks. Let no man be humbugged by a certain small pamphlet, distributed by the Royal Arch cops of this vicinity. I have learned bv a letter received from Lieut. Musser, Co.'D, 53d Regt, P. V. V. that Henry Ileemau, noticed in my last as having lost an arm, is dead. He was a very young man, enlisted a few months ago, and had been with the company only a few days, when he met witli the sad accident which has resulted in his death. He was a brave soldier, stood right up to his post, and no bly done his duty.

S. 1040 BONDS. These Bonds are issued under the act of Con gress of March 8th, lSfU, which provides that all bonds issued under this act shall be exempt from taxation by or under any State or municipal au thority. Subscriptions to these bonds are receiv ed in United States notes or notes of National Backs. They are to be redeemed in coin, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not less than ten nor more than forty yean from their date, and until their redemption five i-er cent, will be paid in coin, on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually and on all other Bonds semi annually. The interest is payable on the first days of March and September in each year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the U: S. Treasurer, and can be transferred only ou the owner's order. Coupon bonds are payable to bearer, and arc more convcniotit for Commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st, by paying the accrued interost in coin (or in U nited States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscrip tion and deposit. As these Bonds are Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent, per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. t At the present rate of premium on gold they pay OVER EIGHT PES CENT INTEREST in currency, and are of equal convenienco as a permanent or temporary investment. It is believed that ao securities offer so great inducement to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebted ness, the faith or ability of private parties ox stock companies or seperate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property of the oounlry is noiaen to secure tbe payment of both priuci- pal and interest in coin. These bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. Thev can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of tbo interest. It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States 011 which interest ia payable iu gold, on the ,d day of March, 1SC4, was 57Gtj,Oa5,0uO. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be JJ5 -907:I2G, while the customs revenue iu gold fur the current fiscal year, ending June SUth, 18fi, has been so far f.t the rate of ovor SlUij.OOO.OuJ per annum. It will '.,c scen that even the present gold rev enues of the Government are largely in excess of tne. Wants of the Treasurer for the payment of gold interest, while tbe recent increase 01 tbe tar iff will doubtlesa raise the annual receipts from customs on the same amount of importations, to SliO.OaO.OOU per annum. Instructions to the National Hanks acting us loan agents were ru t issued from the United States Treasury until March 2J. but iu the first three weeks of April the subscriptions averaged more than ten mmiofs a wkck. Subscriptions will be received by the First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Second National Bank of Philadelphia. Pa Third National Bauk of Philadelphia, Pa. AND BY ALL WAT I0NAL HANKS which are depositaries tf Public money, and all RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the country, (th as agent of the National Depository Banks,) will furnish further information on application and afford eve,y facil ity to subscribers.
