ernor of tha said Commonwealth.
A PROCLAMATION.
The promise that "the seed time and
harvest shall nt cease," baa again been
fulfilled. A God of infinite gooduess has
watched over and cared for us, as a people,
during another year; plenty has poured
her treasures into our garners ; reace has
1 presided over our councils, and health and
happiness have been universally enjoyed.
Civil and religious liberty has been move
widely spread, and the foundations of those
institutions which our fathers laid, have
been deepened and strengthened ly the
providences thus vouchsafed to us.
To that gracious Giver, to whom be
longs "the Earjh and the fullness thereof'
f r these manifold evidences of his benfie
eenec, the citizens of this Commonwealth
owe a public demonstration of their hum-
lie dependence and adoration, and of their
heartfelt gratitude and thanksgiving.
Deeply impressed with the propriety of
that duty, and in accordance with venera
ted custom, I, William F. Johnston, Gov
ernor of the said Commonwealth, do here-
by appoint and designate Thurtday, the
7th day of Noven.ler next, at a day of
Tteral Tbauksgiving throughout the
Slate. And 1 hereby recommend and
earnestly invite all the good people of
this Commonwealth to a siucere and pray
erful observance of the same,

A PROCLAMATION.
Wherea. Ther i !,.
a military expedition is about being fitted
out in the United States for the purpose of
invading the Mexican Republic, with which
this country is at present at peace ; and
Whereas, There is reason to apprehend
that a portion of the people of this country,
regardless of their duty as good citizens,
are concerned in, or may be seduced to
take part in the same ; and, Whereas, Such
enterprises tend to degrade the character
of the United States, in the opinion of tho '
civilized world, and are expressly prohibi
ted by law .
Now, therefore, I hare issued this, my
proclamation, warning all persons who
shall connect themselves with any Buch
enterprise, in violation of the laws and the
national obligations of the United States,
that they will thereby subject themselves
to the heavy penalties denounced against
such offenders, that if they should be cap
tured within the jurisdiction of the Mexi
can authorities, they must expect to be
tried and punished according to the laws
of Mexico, and will have no right to claim
the interposition of this Government in
their behalf.
I therefore expect all well disposed citi
zens, and all who have at heart the repu
tation of their country, and are animated
with a just regard for its laws, its peace
and its welfare, to discountenance and by
all lawful means prevent any such enter
prise; and I call upon every officer of this
government, civil or military, to be vigi
lant in arresting for trial and punishment
every such offender.

Washington, Oct. 23.
Agricultural Fair.
The Agricultural Society of Northum
berland County held its 1st annual Fair at
Sunbury, on Friday the 17th inst There
were a great many people present, farmcM,
and other citizens from different parts of
the surrounding country, and considering
that it was the first effort of the kind in this
county, the attendance was very extensive.
The live stock was exhibited in a field above
Sunliisry, where suitable pens and coops
were erected the day previous, and the
grain, vegetables, domestic manufactures
and fncy articles were exposed to the
examination of the public in the Court
House.
Some specimens of good cattlo were ex
hibited, among which we observed a Devon
bull and calf of cxcellent'appearance, and
several Durham heifers, besides specimens
of the native breed. There was a fine dis
play of horses, some of tho finest nags in
the country being present, and their exam
ination was carried on with apparently
strict impartiality, although much emula
tion existed among the owners. The num
ber of hogs exhibited was not large, but
those that were produced were excellent
specimens of the native breed, and the
one that took the premium was a hand
some animal, and very creditable to its
rearer. A few sheep were brought on the
ground. This article of agricultutal pro
duction our farmers should engage in more
extensively, and although the number ex
hibited at our fair was this year very limi
ted, we think that hereafter they will make
a numerous appearance at our agricultural
reuuions.
The display of vegetables was good.
Good fruit was on hand, among which we
saw a jar of beautiful lemons. The grain
present was the best of its kind ; corn,oats,
and wheat. The wheat was pronounced
by them who had seen both, to be as good
as that which took the first premium at
the Rochester fair. The domestic flannel
displayed elicited much admiration. Ileury
Nyer of Northumberland exhibited some
beef and pork which for excellent appear
ance and fatness could not be surpassed
by any in the city markets. Among the
fancy articles produced at the fair were
soiuo beautiful artificial flowers manufac
tured by young ladie9 of Sunbury and
Northumberland. But the finest thins
wc saw there was a basket of butler manu
factured by a lady of Upper Augusta town
ship, which was extremely fair to look
upon in these times when butter is so very
scarce.
The Agricultural fair was something
tl at the farmers and cit izens in general of
X Unun! oerund couuty nave great reason
to be pi pud cC The attendence was very
good, and mch ."pint was exhibited. Next
year the fair wul be on a much larger
scale, and we expect L? see exhibited every
thinj that Northumberland county can
produce, both in agriculture ad domestic
manufactures. Sunbury Gazitfe.

Hints for Fanners.
Cabbages and Turnips should be suffered
to remain out while the ground kecp3 open.
When there is a pretty fair prospect for its
freezing, they may be removed. Both
these vegetables increase more rapidly in
size after the advent of cold, than before.
They also attain a certain crispness toward
the close of the season, of which they arc
destitute at the earlier seasons of their dc
vcloperaent. Cabbage when removed to the cellar,
should be imncdiately set out. A very
slight sprinkling of soil about the roots,
will cause them to keep fresh, and even to
increase somewhat in size during the win
ter. It will also conduce considerably to
the savoriness as an article of food, and re
tain them crisp and sweet.
fieCS. A shed behind your horse-stable,
is the most favorable place for the hens,
daring the winter. You can throw the
manure from the stalls into it, and as horse
dang, especially where the animals are
grain-fed, ferments rapidly and powerfully,
its beat will conduce to keep np a genial
and summer-like temperature, highly ad
vantageous to the fowls. By sprinkling
sulphuric acid freely over the surface cVy
few days, all the unpleasant a-.; deleterious
consequences resulti from the ammonial
gas, evolr; j,y the manure, will be neu
'eltzeJ, and saved for the benefit of the
crops. Another important advantage at
tending this practice, is the saving effected
by the economization of the grain contained
in the excrement. This, when the manure
,1s tLtswa Ihio avard, or. in Leap, ii inevi
tably lost; but under the system herein
recommended, every particle is saved.
Hens accommodated in this way, if well
fed, and supplied with meal, lime, ashes,
chopped vegetables, buttermilk, &c, &e.,
will lay constantly, and be nearly or quite
as profitable as during the summer months.
Rats may be expelled from your cellars
and granaries simply by scattering a few
stalks and leaves of mullen in their paths.
There is something very annoying in this
plant, to the rat It affords, therefore,
very easy remedy fur a most perplexing
evil, and much more economical and less
troublesome than gunpowder, " rat exter
minators," cats or traps. The mullen is a
very common production, aud may be found
in almost every field, as well as in pastures.
Bones. Save the bones, and having
mashed them, place them in a tub and
pour over thcra a puantity of sulphuric
aeid. They will be dissolved, and may
then be applied as manure to your turnip
and other cmps. Not a bone should bo
thrown away. Auricula.

The youngest son of Sheriff Myers, in
Kingston, Luzcrud Co., was dreadfully in
jured on Saturday last by the careless fir
ing ol a large pistol in the hands of a
neighboring clu'J. The pislid had been
curelessly left by a student upon a table
in a room of his hoarding house, and the
two children meeting in the room, one ol
ihem thoughtlessly picked up the pistol and
fired the heavy charge which it contained
into the luce of bis poor little playmate.
In un instant the bright little fellow was
disfigured for lifo, his sight nearly if not
quile destroyed, nnd a tender molhei's
heait ulinost broken. When will people

Political Movemknt. A convention
to nomiuate Mr. Webster for the Presi

on the 25th of November next. Webster
never has been one of the " availables "

although he is at present more popu
lar with the democratic party than he
ever hs been before, it is exceedingly
doubtful whether ho can succeed iu ob

The Judicial Elections.
Thegeaera! results of the recent elections
are such as to afford much gratification
and encouragement to the friends of an
Independent Judiciary ; especially as the
details of the "Amendment to the Constitu
tion had been arranged with an apparent
determination to throw th- fir.-t election
under it into the vortex of party polities,
and carry the day hy the force of the po
litical storm, without much regard to the
fitness of the individual candidates which
last is the real, and ought always to be
the paramount issue involved in the con
test. In some districts Democrats, and in
others Whigs, havo boon unanimously
elected; showing on the pirt of t!u peo
ple a praiseworthy disregard cf all p ditier.1
considuratiou. An 1 in most of the other
di.-triefs the t.leetious were mad-j in such a
manner as ti preclude either parly fcotil
justly cLiiuiug the result x; a ipAui-J Vic
tory. Iu this r'i.iirf gr.f inependencs was
exhibited in both parties. 3Ir. Ca.-ey hav
iti:; received according to the opinion of
otioef Ju-lg" Wilson's lcidlnj Democratic
supporUr?, sudwl.ichwe believe to be cor
rect between three and four hundred
Democratic votes in this counfy, and a re
spectable Democratic vote in Mdllin ; thus
showing how larg'dy Judgj W. was depen
dant upon the Whig vote for his success,
and how wide ."prcad an 1 extraordinary was
the defection in the rauis ef 3Ir. Carey's
political friends owing to the storm of
personal calumny poured out upon hiiu,
and various other local cau?cs having no
necessary connection with the Judgeship,
and which it would be useless now to ana
lyze. Our opinion of the relative qualifi
cations of the two candidates remains un
changed, and wc have no regrets for the
part we took in tho campaign, except that
wo would, of course, have preferred success
to defeat.
Private intimations have been thrown
out that the successful candidate will now
endeavor to correct some of the grievances
which hive so long Locn subjects of com
plaint among- the people". We sincerely
hope tLis may be the case. That then; is
great room for reform in many essentia!
particulars, no intelligent and unprejudiced
person, acquainted with the business of our
courts, can for a moment honestly dcubt.
And if the contemplated improvements in
the despatch of business be faithfully car
ried out, they will certainly afford very
great satisfaction to tho community.
The last Ferry Couuty Democrat has
a laughable- chapter of blunders about the
recent election for President Judge, iu this
district; proving that the editor's knowl
edge of affairs up this way is about as
accurate as his very charitable opinions of
some of his neighbors. Judge Stroop's
intimation that we have joined "the Fede
ralists" happens, unfortunately for his
peace of mind, to be nothing moro or less
than a "Roorback" of the first water; ori
ginated, just before the election, by some
of our amiable aud veracious cotcmporaries,
to accomplish a special purpose. They are
ashamed of it now, however, but have not
tho courage to mute the correction as
public as the lie.
