Noth-i ing has ever been known, and. it . is the leading topic of speculation in every part of the-city. The favorite fishing grounds are in the open Luke, a few hundred yards outside of the harbor, though we are informed that parties have met with nearly as much success alongside the piers at the entrance. Hosts of fishermen are out at all hours of the day, and the number of the finny tribe that they bring back with them would be incredible to per sons in less fav'ored localities. On Saturday afternoon, fifteen hosts, containing tot less than fifty inmates, nude and female, were anchored outside of the harbor, within a few yards of each other.. Their close proxiiiity. did not have the least effect upon the fishing, and thiise Who understood the knack"Of pro perly baiting their hooks, were rewarded with astonishing success.- In most cases, the line Was scarcely thrown into the water until it caught a fish, and the sport was exhilerating to a degree seldom attained. The fish are nearly all perch, and average from three quarters of a foot to a foot in length. Out of at least fifteen hundred that we . Saw, during our visit to the locality, there : were not half a dozen that would fall lielow . this size. To give readers abroad some impression of the way in which the fish bite, we will state that a party of two, after an alikenee of about three hours, returned with Ram hundred fish, and this is a fair sample of the _luck which attends nearly all after they once acquire the knack of the business. The sensation produced by thisi extntonli pary state of things may be easily imagined. The boats in the harbor are kept in constant use, and not less than a couple hundred per sons visit the favorite localities daily. Almost every hour of the day parties pass our office with enormous strings offish, in most eases so heavy that two men are needed to carry them. A string of forty or fitly is not thought worth bringing home, and would subject the person carrying them to ridicule. The news of the wonderful sport has spread far and wide, and crowds of persons from - the neighboring towns have come in to participate in the fish-. lug. If it continues for any. length of time , fish will become a drug upon the market, and, Erie will acquire a reputation throughout the country as. the Paradise of anglers. Fort ern eT GmAno.—The gocid people of Girard and vicinity are • preparing for a regular . old fashioned celebration of the Fourth. The day will be ushered in by a salute of thirteen guns, and . ringing of bells. At 10 o'clock a procession will be formed in the Square, and march through the principal streets. The Declaration is to be read by S. Todd Pericy, Esq:, and an oration will be de livered by Rev. C. L Shipman. Capt. D.W. Hutchinson is to preside at the meeting, and E. D. Pickett will act as Marshall. In the afternoon the Fairview Fantastift will invade the town. The festivities will close with a fine display of fireworks.

Our New System. .Lowry Carries Crawford County. The Radical primary elections held in Crawford comity, on Friday of last week, re sulted, as we eitpected they would, In the success of Mr. Lowry by a heavy majority. In the Eastern and Western portions of the county, his vote is well nigh, unanimous, and even in the middle portions his _competitor did not run as well as his friends ardirleated This triumph of Hr. Lowry is more to be at tribiited to his adroit management and plaus ible character, than to any particular degree Or personal popularity. It must be apparent to his friends, no less than to outsiders, that_ individually he is not a favorite with his par ty, but he IIAS that peculiar tact and boldness which do more towards winning political battles titan the purest character or the pre foundest ability. His gun boat scheme and new county dodge are as ridiculous as they are ingenious, but they, were sprung before the attention of the people at just the right moment to suit the, purpose intended, and have borne forth the'fruits that were expect ed from them. For appearance sake, the humbug will be kept up perhaps for a year or two after election, but those who seriously expect either Federal or State aid towards the enitirgement of the canal for naval purposes, or that a new county will be crea ted out of the Western part of CraSvford,will be as egregiously duped as the South was when it supposed that-secession could be ac complished without a struggle. , The selection of Mr. Lowry by a direct vote of the Radical masses, is a fair,com mentary upon the professions of patriotism which that party has mole in.' the last six Nears. The issue was presented to them of sustaining a soldier of admitted worth and talent, or a mere politician, who 1.,m0 rich during the war, while others were devoting their lives and means towrirtli the success of the Union : anti by their deliberate action they have tvject«l the former to promote the advancement of the latter! Could anything be more suggestive of the hypocrisy which has grown into a trade in our politics than such a verdict! The Colonel of the gallant old 8:Id regiment, the favorite of the whole North-West, whose - colors were torn to pieces by Southern bulletsond whose columns were so decimated that hardly air original member was left at the end of the war—a man of ac knowledged bravery and fine attainments— deserted by the very people whose homes he fought to protect, and pushed out of the way to make room for a plausible professional of lice-seeker Oh, for the consistency of our modern so-called "loyalty!" Of couAO this triumph of He' Lowry is decisive that he will again be the nominee of the Radicals for the. State Senate. His ene mies in the party ranks in Erie county, though numerous, are neither courageous enough, nor possessed of the necessary perseverance and shrewdness to make the slightest approach to an effective opposition. We have no doubt that he will carry the CoUnty Convention nearly unanimously, and henceforth his pow er may iie_reg s arded as being so firmly estab lished for years to come, that he can control the machinery of the party to suit himself. It is very likely that some new scheme to de feat him before the people may be originated, but the timidity and want of adroit manage ment which his Radical enemies have dis played heretofore are not oiery encouraging for Democrats to participate in it, and unless there is something of a more positive, deter mined and influential character than has been tried in the past, we ilrefer to ran araout and out ticket, from top to bottom, of true and tried members of our own party. 30 cents Yur. NrcuousoN opinhins respecting the Nicholson parethent are of so diverse a nature that it is very difficult for a disinterested person to make up his mind upon the subject. We had scarcely finished reading an elnimwate eulogy upon it, when a copy Of the Chicago Times was handed us, in Which the paving, as laid down in that city, is criticised with merciless-severity.. As we have already published a statement from an exchange, in " which the pavement was commended to the public, it isoo more than just that we should permit our readers to see the other side of the question, and some sub mit the following extrAttfrom the editorial in the Times: "If tiny persons shall be induced to favor the Nicholson street flooring on account of representations that the speculators may make concerning its success in Chicago, they will suffer themselvesto be humbugged with their eyes wide open. The Nicholson street floor ing is not a success in Chicago, butis a fail ure, just as it will be everywhere else. It is but a very slight improvement on the old Flan of horizontal planking, which was first introduced and extensively practised in this city twenty years ago. The planks did very well on streets where there was no heavy teaming, and so does the Nicholson " style of flooring. So long as Chicago remained a country village, three-inch oak planks, laid on a compact roadway of sand, were found to constitute an economical and satisfactory style of street flooring. So now in such places as Kalamazoo, Oshkosh, Milwaukee, Joliet, Springfield, etc., the Nicholson floor ing (which differs but little from the oak planl flooring) would probably answer the require ments of economy and usefulness. But when any of those places attain the size and.busi ness importance of Chicago, they wjll find something more substantial and durable than a wooden floor Ls' required in their busi nessstreets. They will do wisely to profit by the costly experience of Chicago, and not at tempt to make a whistle out of a pigs or a street pavement out of pine lumber. It cannot be done. The most useful i putTor the Nicholson street flooring has served in Chicago has been to prove its own Worthless ness.' Tin prospects at present look to us as if the contest for Radical Legislative • can didates in this city would he more than usu ally vigorous. The candidates thus tbr are Messrs: G. W. Starr and A. R. Kellogg, to which it is likely Gen. McCreary, one of our late members of the House, will be added. It is understood that Gen. McCreary did not return with the expectmion of-being re-elect ed, but since his arrival home he hay been urged by many of his friends, who regard his legislative experience as possessing consider able value, to accept a nomination in case it is tendered him, and, although he leas not positively decided, it is more than likely that he will conclude to become a candidate. In such an event, the fight in the city will vir tually be narrowed down to McCreary and Kellogg, .as Mr. Starr will hardly feel:like entering upon a hotly contested campaign. Kellogg is a young man of much energy,who has had a good deal of experiencein running Radical caucuses, and knows how: to put it to practical use. His extensive acquaintance with our younger citizens' will enable him to rally a large share of them to his support, and whether or not be succeeds, he will give his competitors considerable trouble. , The 'result in Crawford divests the Senatorial is sue of much of its interest here, and the main squabble will be upon the Assemblyman and Sheriff. WE are happy in being able to announce the completion - and formal" opening of the Jamestowd & Franklin It. R., extending from the" village otdamestown, on the Erie & Pittsburg It R., to the borough of Frank lin, in Venango 'county. This result opens up to the trade of Erie a new and desirable section of country, which our business men will doubtless 'hasten to occupy. ,It will give persons abroad some idea of the rapid development of North-Western Pennsylva nia, when we inform them that the James town & Franklin is the tenth railroad which has been. completed in this portion of the State since 1840, as follows: Ist.

Tae old saying, "GU abroad for - news," is strikingly verified in the following front the New York Tribune of Monday: An election for State Senator and A'ase mi laymen was held in Crawford connty,Pa., on Friday last, which has probably resulted in the choice of a Democratic Senator.

Tin; new Masonic Hall, in Noble's Block, was dedicated lon Monday afternoon, with imposing ecreinonies.‘ A large number of the fraternity at ended from abroad, and the hospitability es ended to them by oar citi zens made a very favorable impression. In the evening a grand promenade Concert and Festival was held in the Hall, which was participated in by an immense concourse of ladies and gentlemen, and which gave the utmost satisfaction to all. The incidents of the day have given Masonry a StrongZr hold than ever upon the respect of the communt ty, and will ht4..e the tendency to materially increase the applications for membeiship. • • THE followhig are the officers of the Y.

Mr. CaugheY is again choseri head of the Lecture commit tee, a post In which he has served for u nut& her of years, and the duties of which he, is better adapted to perform, perhaps, than any other person in the community.. Out?. influential daily cotempopry, having succeeded in completely annihilating Lowry, will, in all prohability,.now turn its gigantic batteries with redoubled vigor upon the cows, pigs and geese that infest the city lim its.

The fine, bracing breezes from the Lake temper the atmos phere here in the summer to - a degree that only those who live In the sultry places or the interior can properly appreciate. We feel assured that with the opening of a first class hotel, Erie will become a plai.e of much resort for parties from Philadelphia and else where, who wish to secure a pleasant place for spending the hot season of the yeas. +I.IOSF: ofour readers who are looking about for a machini! of the kind will find Doilge's Reaper and Mower and Self Raking Harves ter just the article they need. Messrs. Pierce Co. have it for sale at• their .hanlware* store, where nil who desire can have an op portunity of seeing it, and obtain descriptive circulars. These machines have been thoroughly tested in this section, and the en tire satisfactiOn they have giiren makes them sell better than any other machine in the market. Messrs. P. Co. deserve to be heartily congratulated upon the hit they have made in their agency for patent'agri cultural. implements The [Corse Hoc they sell has, like the Mowing Machine, attained an unrivalled popularity. About two- hunt red and fifty have already been disposed of this season, and the high favor in which the -fanners regard 'them, makes it certain that the hoe will remain a standard article for years to come. THE elevator of Messrs. Brown, McCarter, Shannon (k, Co., 'at our harbor, is progreming with great rapidity, and will be ready for. eratlons by - the coating fall. No , less than sixty men are employed in different capaci ties, and the speedy way iii which the work is being pushed ahead, speaks more than words for the enterprise and energy of the firm. The elevator will have a-capacity for unloading and storing 190,000 bushels of grain per day . , and is so arranged that within thirty days it, can be enlarged to any extent requir ed. The machinery will be heavy enough to meet any demand that may be made, upon it, being as powerful as that of the largest Buffalo concerns. We are pleased to o learn that the prospects for the elevator are of the most flattering kind. Parties in Philadelphia have given assurances of a large patronage as soon as it is completed, and the owners feel com plete confidence In the profitable character of the enterprise. Tut: Titusville Herald takes up the cudgel , in favor of Rev. J. L. Hays, and applies it with vigor to the politiciani who played the trick upon him by which he was with drawn from the field as a candidate for As sembly. A says his fiends had tuade "a . vigorbus canvass in Ithcbehalf, and the pros pectsweroconsidered not inferior to those of any competitor." 'The matter of his de clination "was arranged at, Meadville among some of his professed friends, and without any sort of intimation that such a course was intended. Mr. Hays heard a rumor to .that effect and at once started for Meadyille, but upon anfling there found that the announce meld of his 'withdrawal' had already been published da the Crafrford Journal, and ex tensively circulated throughout the county. lie was justly indignant at the proceeding, but it was too late to counteract the effect of' the infamous net, and he was compelled to yield to the necessity imposed." While we acknowledge the unfairness of Mr. Hays' treatment, we cannot say that we sympa thize with himjn his troubles. During Me war he was one of the most unfair enemies of Democrats: that we know' of, and by his vituperative denunciations of them frOM the pulpit secured an odium that will' attach; to him for years. Having deliberately made his lieu with- the class of politicians who. were congenial to him, he can blame no one but himself if at this late day, - he finds them to be what we Ipe always told him. Our sympathies witly' r politiciarts as a class are not the wanuesf at the best, but for none of the genus do we Wive a• more thorough con tempt than those who degrade the pulpit to minister to party ends, or their own selfish purposes. • WE hear but one report in, regard to the crops in this section. In every part of the county they give . the mast encouraging prospects, and, unless indications prove de ceptiye, we shall have a most bountiful har vest There are few persons in the com munity who will not be gratified with this intelligence—the farmers, because it affords the . prontise of 4 more profitable recompenqe for their labor—the tradesmen, because it is the token of an active fall business,—and the , mechanic, because it will bring, down the prices of provisions to a more economical standard. Let other interests monopolize the attention of legislators . and philosophers as they may, it Ls the agricultural after all, that forms the basis of every sound and pro:q• perous country. , • Wating:: county bids fair to b&ome quite as celebrated for ambitious politicians as her 'neighbor Crawford. We find the following list of patriotic individnals who are willing to serve the dear people, in the columns of the . Mail - Assembly—W. F., Dalrymple, of Pitts Sheriff-LA.

We are glad to see it improves filial year to year. Several years ago we said we thought it one of the best schools in the State, and we think it has since steadily increased its reputation and efficiency. In all points which make a first class school -it is unsur passed. All persons who intend to teach should send for' l l circular. Address the Principal, Prof. J. A. Eooper, Edinboro,•Erie Pa.— Erie Daily Dispatch. A NEw Telegraph fine is being built be tween New York and Chicago, by the Atlan tic Pacific Company. It is intended to compete with the Union line r whose monop oly has led to extortionate Charges, which we are surprisd that thepeopleitave borne with patience to long as they have. The new line wilt have an office in this city. Its - comple; tint' will work as much of a change in tele graph' charges as the establishment of the Merchants' Company did in express rates. , - WE have the comforting assurance at last that the Reed House will be opened to the public accommodation some time in July. Let the united public offer up prayers day. and night that this much wished for event may not be postponed longer than the end of the month, at furthest. The managers o are hastening matters to the best of. their ability, and if another disappointment occurs we are assured that it will be no fault of their's. THE acknowledged position of Erie_ ias the leading coal mart of the Lakes , is not likely to be diminished by the present season's op erations. Ina single day last week Our ship ments were over 5,000 tons. With an en larged canal—which, by the way, we suggest that the Company had bead undertake to econiplish itself, and not Wait for the uncer tainty of State or Federal aid—the trade of our harbor would be trebled inside of tire `rears. THE new stove works of Messrs. Tibbals, Shirk it Whitehead, at the comerof Twelfth and SassAfras streets, are expected to be cam-, ifieted about the Ist of August, The-estab lishment will be one of the most extensive west of the Alleghenies, and will not only re-. fleet much credit upon the enterprising firm by which it is.being erected, but he sif much benefit to the interests of the city. TUE Conneautvillc Record, having noticed that our City Councils have some difficulty occasionally in keeping a quorum together, suggests that they "can learn a better dodge than locking their doors, from the action of the august body" in that 'place, "who, when any business is to be tran'sactett hold iftseeret session and NI to notify Such members as are not certain to vote with those interest ed." WE call the attention (.4 such of our read ers as may be contemplating an .excursion during the present season, to the advertise ment of Messrs. Flower S Babcock. A num ber of parties who availed themselves last year of the advantages ()trend by these gentlemen inform us that the trip is' one of the most de lightful that they ever psirticipited in. Tun "ever glorious 1 7 Ourth"—a1a, at the rate the people have been losing respect for it of late years, we fear it will soon drop its glory—occurring next week on Thursday, the usital day of our publication, we :tall go to press on Wednesday in order. to give our workmen a chaucs to celebrate. Advertisers will please keep thefact in remembrance. Turk drug store of Hall it Warfel, on State street, is one of the most flourishing estab lishments in the tity. These gentlemen, with little parade, have built up an extremely large tratleond it would surprise most of our citizens do take a look through their store, and see the extensive nature of their trans aciions. Sax WAKE is evidently ambitious of win ning a reputation as a pugilist, He has had no less than three little knock downs with brother contrabands, during the last week or two, and each time came off first best. Ram will win the belt, if he keeps on, and probab ly a snug retreat in Warren's Fifth Avenue Hotel besides. We regret to be compelled to announce that no arrangements for a general celebra tion of the Foufth have been made in the city, and it is hardly probable that any will be at this late day.. The only demonstrations of a public nature will be those of the Irish and German societies, already'alluded to in our columns. , ' THE body ,of a dead man was found on the beach at gorth East, last week, and has been identified as that of William Boyle, who was last seen alive on the dock of the Anthracite Coal Company, on the night 'of Saturday, ttielfith last, When found, the' head was half imbedded In the sand, sand, with the face downwanl. . - Tam graduation this summer, of young Mr. Greer, a son of Judge Greer, will leave a va cancy for this district at West Point. Judge Scofield has recommended the selection of Mr. Miller, of Waterford, for the place-, and as the Tvord of a Congressman is' law upon that point, he will be selected. Mr. Miller volunteered in the 83d regiment when a.
