No paper was issued from this office last week unavoidable circumstances intervened to pre vent its publication. We shall be more regular in future. Fourth of Jul?. The Sabbath School and Temperance celebra tion, in our town, passed off in excellent style. At the hour of 2 P. M., the two Sabbath Schools of Stroudsburg, with th e school from the neigh borhood of Mr. James Postens, assembled at the Methodist Church, where they formed and march ed to the Presbyterian Church. Being seated, and the ample temperance banner displayed in full view, bearing upon it the inscription, " Strouds burg Cold Water Army," tho whole assembly joined in singing, to the fine old air of Auld'Lang Syne, the following song With banner and wish badge we come, An Army true and strong, To fight against the hosts of Rum, And this shall be our song ;. We lore the clear Cold Water Springs, Supplied by gentle showers ; We feel the strength cold water brings, "The victory is Ours." Cold Water Armv is our namo, O may we faithful be, And so, in truth and justice, claim Tli blessings of the free. We love &c. Though others love their rum and wine,, And drink till they are mad, To water we will still incline, To make us strong and glad. We love &c. ! pledge lo ihec this hand of mine, In faith and friendship strong: And fellow-soldiers we wtll join The chorus of our song. We We &c. Tfes throne of gTace was then invoked, by the Rev. Mr. Johmon, after which the Rev. Mr. Gardner addressed the children on the subject of Temperance, in aa appropriate manner. The popular piece, " Away, away the bowl," was then sung, when the Rev. Mr. Johnson followed with some suitable remarks on the importance of Sab- hath school instruction, the Sabbath School ban ker having been first displayed in front of the other. By th-2 way, that banner was altogether an ingenious and appropriate device. Upon a knot of flowers was spread an open bible, and jibove it, inscribed the wellcliosen motto : " Take last hold of instruction ; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life," Prov. iv. 13. The services at the Church Being ended, the schools again formed -and look up their line of u.arch to the main street, and thence along it to tlie.lowerendof the town, crossed the bridge, and passed up the shaded bank of the Pocono lo -a fine grove oT lofty and venerable trees, where was a long table, filled with a variety of cakes, nuts, candies, &c. &c, and an abundant suppty of such drink as w?'s furnished lor Adam and Eve in the "arden of Eden. Along this t.ible were rang- ed the children, those men and women of the future: on the one side the boys and on the other the girls. Not much ceremony was observed -there',' But each one h"elr3i3 hiniselT th right good .earnest, as best he could. Upwards of two Jiundfed Sabbath School children were there to fay their respects to the ample provisions made by the enterprising ladies of Stroudsburg, to whom, we are toldj the honor of ihfs appropriate celebration exclusively belongs. Never was there A happier group of children in cottage, hall, or j.ahce. They were brim full and running over ivith delight. Every little face beamed with joy. Not orie that was a sharer in those' ihrVocent and rational festivities, will even forget that happy rene ; and who knows'but the impressions there made, may be connected with important results for good, in tlie now forming character of many" a' rud dv faced child, who might otherwise have been iured to destruction, lhe reiresnment enuea, ma company marched in order lo the Court House, Vhefe, after singing another temperance song they were dismissed to go to their respective homes.

It is currently reported by the intimate friends of this distinguished statesman, that he is desirous of re-entering the Whig ranks, and taking part, wjih us in the great contest of 1844, as he did in that of 1810. He will gos far as the, farthest, in support of the nominee of &e Whig National Con- vehtion, and in battling for Whig principles. Mr. Webster well knows that Henri Clay, is the choice of the party, and will be the next Candid ate. In view, and with a full knowledge of this, he resumes his ancient standing as a Whig leader. Ireland. The intelligence brought by the last Steamer shows that the Repeal agitation in Ireland has as sumed a most formidable aspect. The continued influx of troops into the country, the repeated mass meetings of the people, and the dismissal from of fice of a number of Repeal magistrates have all tended to increase the excitement, and to render moro difficult the preservation of peace. The cautious hesitation observable in most of the acts of the Queen's Ministers, is indicative of the perplexity and trouble which this semi-rebellion gives them. They have pledged themselves to sustain the Union between England and Ire land at all hazards yet they let the Irish hold their meetings, and evidently intend to try every peaceful expedient before employing the military force which they have provided themselves, with. In the House of Lords the subject produced an intercsting.debate, in which the Duke of Welling ton, Earl' of Aberdeen, Lord Wharncliff, and the Lord Chancellor, defended the course of the Gov ernment, and the Marquis of Clarincalle, Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Campbell, and the late Lord Chancellor, severely censured the ministers for their supinencss and vacillating course of policy. Both parties concurred -in admitting the danger which threatened the Union in consequence of .this agitation. A very stormy debate arose in the House of Commons on the 1st of June, on the second read ing of the u Arms Bill," a measure intended to depriv e the Irish of the mean3 of self-defence, by requiring every person to procure a permit from' some Justice, before he could use or keep a gun of any description. It passed second reading by a vote of two to one, and will most probably be come a law. O'Connell continues to carry every thing before him. He has within a month addressed over two millions of his fellow-countiytnen, upon his favor ite subject. On one' occasion the number of peo ple to which he spoke, are computed at the in credible number of three hundred thousand. The procession alone took three hours and five minutes lo pass by his carriage. The Irish people cling to him with the most unbounded devotion', and the Catholic Bishops have directed the cleigy to in sert, in lhe forms of prayer, immediately after that in behalf of the Queen, one especially applicable to Daniel O'Connell, the libctalor. Although Ireland is literally flooded by troops, it appears to be O'Conncll's desire to avoici all collision between them and the people. Whenev er he speaks, he exhorts the Repealers to violate no law, and even disperse if the magistrates de manded of them to do so, and leave him to find out some mode of asserting their independence. This, unexplained, appears strange, for how could he expect to carry his end by mere talk, with lhe ma jority of Egland, and the feeling of that country against him. But a correspondent of the New York Sun, explains the mysterious behaviour of Mr. O'Connell in these words, " By the Treaty of Limerick, it is provided, that whenever three mil lions of Irish people, shall elect three hnndred freeholders to represent them in an Irish Parlia ment, England is bound to lecogniae such a Par liament." If this is so, Ireland has indeed cause to rejoice, for the address and management of O'Connellj lias brought about such a stale of affairs in that coun try, that it will now be easy to elect a Parliament in conformity with the Treat of Limerick. That Treaty was entered into in the year 1G38, but by reference to .Smollett's continuation of Hume's History of England, we find nothing as above stated. He .merely gives an account of the ca pitulation of the French and Irish to William the Third of England, and some minor details. It is possible, however, that some other History, to which we have no access, may contain it. The Copy of the Treaty, wherever it is, will of course solve the question. If it should contain sucli a provision, the inquiry then presents itself, will England abide by ill We believe she will. Admitting lhe fact to be so, O'Connell we think risks a great-deal in keeping the secret so long from the inas of the Irish people. They are in the habit of almost daily assembling to number of many thousands, in the midst of a well-organized soldierv, who assemble with them to watch their movements and lo see that they do not transgress thelaw's. now easily might ihey become cxas pe'rated at those soldiers, and by violence ruin all their hopes of liberty. Offer io tlie Government to Assassinate 2Tr. O'Connell. Government received a letter of the 9th June, which contains the following sentence. "I will undertake as I'mriy be advised, to run the risk of my life aganisiO'Connell's " Signed Sam uel Mayers This person was arrested and hetd to bail in lie sum of j400 to appear at the Crim inal Sessions.. He stated that he wrote the letter undc t'He influence of wine. Mr. Mayer is of gentlemanly appearance, and .about 3p years of age. Some years back he rc.signqd practice .as a solicitor, to take a situation in the Custom House, at Gloucester. He is a married man, with a fam ily, and is said lo be much respected. The agitation for the Repeal of the Union con tinues with unabated violence. At lhe Dublin Corn Exchange- on the 5th of June, the repeal rent amounted to 4?001, tho largest yet received, ex cept that of the previous wedk, which included Jsume extraordinary returns made at Mr. O'Con nnll's grpat ine'e'tihg: in'Tipperary. Trpppsjiave At the close (if ttje week, (Ipih of June) lib force in Ireland amounted to six -divisions ol" artillery, six regiments, and a squadron of cavalry, twelve battalions, and. twenty-two depots of infantry. The Repeal demonstration at Kilkenny, op the 8th, is described as having been great. . There were, it is said, apivards of 300,000 .people pres ent, including from. 11,000 to. 12,000 horsemen. Mr. O'Connell, in addressing this vast multitude, said Is there a band within hearing! If there be, let them play up "God save the Queen." (More than a dozen bands here played up the na tional anthem, the entire vast multitude remaining uncovered. At the termination of the air three hearty and deafening cheers were given for the Queen.) I .will now give you another subject to cheer three cheeis for the Queen's army the bravest anny in the world. (Tremendous cheers) Three cheers for the Irish people the most mor al, the most brave, the most temperate, and the most religious people on the face of the earth. (Great and long continued cheering.) The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal A sso ciation look place on the 12th.. at the Corn Ex change.

The rent hit ine wccr Hiuuimiuu in jw.i na. iw. ik enthusiasm was bevond all description. Notwithstanding the excitement which prevails, the country is in a quiet state. The relative positions of the two countries, are exciting the liveliest interest throughout the civil ized world, and the eyes of many are turned anx iously toward the Emerald Isle, to see what will 6e the result of their, so far, peaceful struggle The next arrival will be anticipated with intense anxiety. Death off the I2oii. Elssgla is. Iogare. The country has sustained a deep loss in the sudden and unexpected death of this young, but eminent statesman. He repaired to Boston, in the best health, to attend the Celebration at Bun ker Hill, but was immediately taken ill. and after suffering intensely for several days, died on Tues day the 2'0ih ult. At the time of his decease, Mr. Legare, held the important office of Attorney General of the U States, and also officiated as Acting Secretary of State. He has been the strong man in the Cabi net since lhe retirement of Mr. Webster, and Mr. Tyler will have some difficulty to supply his place by another equally capable and efficient. The last solemnities over his remains, were performed at 11 oYlock. on Wednesday morning a wfiek. at Trinitv Church. Boston. Mr..L. was about 42 years of age. He was unmarried, and has left an only Sister, who resides at Charleton, South Carolina. His death was caused by inter nal inflammation. S'lae Ps 5jrraaiage. . The. sudden death of Mr. Legare, has broken up the Presidential Pilgrimage, and Mr. Tyler, and his followers have pretty nearly all returned to Washington. The President, himself, whilst in Boston, was' very unwell a" whole day, and fears began to be entertained that he would have an at tack of brain fever. It however passed off, and he is now quite well again. The coldness with which he was received at nearly every place where he stopped, warrants us, we think, in pre dieting that he will never turn Pilgrim again! Asaothcr Vetft. Gov. Porter has returned the Bill, for the sale of the Maine Line of our Improvements with hi objections, to the office of lhe Secretary of the Commonwealth, with instructions to that officer to return the same to the House of Represehta tives, in which it originated, within three days af ter the meeting of the next Legislature. Unti this Veto made its appearance in the pa'pejrs, i was generally believed that the Governor would sign tlie Bill, and thus rid the State of a large por tion of her taxes. By this Line of Improvement continuing in the possession of the Commonwealth the election of Canal Commissioners, by tne peo pie, this fall, will become an important duly. livery one is interested mat men oi good moral character, and tried virtue and integrity, should be selected.

Boston, June 26th, 1843. Messrs. Scuocir & Kollock I have re- turned to Easion again irom uusiuu, which latter place 1 wrote you, last week, an account of the Bunker Hill Celebration. I now proceed to give.ydu. a shorl account ol.lhe resident's movements alter tne ueieorauou. On the evening of that day. he and the members of his Cabinet, attended a superb festival given them by the Mayor and Councils of Boston, at I'anneuil Hall,kthe old Cradle of Liberty. The LiOh. Daniel Webster, was also present. They were all toasted, lo which they replied in an appropriate manner. On Sunday, Mr. Tyler ano suuu rem.mieu n Boston, and attended divine service. Early m Mondav morning, the 19th, they left for the great manufacturing town of Lowell, to which they had been invited by a number of the citi zens (the town authorities having relused to join in lhe invitation.) 1 hey were receireu md entertained in lhe most hospitable manner, --yet I noticed that, as at most other places in lis toiif. little or no enthusiasm was mingled with the respect shown by the people tp jheir Chief Magistrate. The day was esceasnci) hoi, and on returning to Boston in the evening the President was so much overcome nnd ex hausted bv heal and travel, thai fears were en tertained for his health. Whal was worse, the intelligence was immediately conveyed to him, that his Attorney Genera;!;. Mr. Legare,. was lying at the point of death in another part of the Citv. . .. About 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning, Mr. L. expired, being perfectly resigned to his fate. The President continued so unwell lhat ho was obliged lo remain in his room all day. and could receive no company. On Wednesday, at 1 1 o'clock, he had recovered sufficiently lo attend. hU friend and coutisejlbr's funeral. The same afierilobii lie left for .Washington ; iih HI health, and a proper respect for the memory of the deceased, forbidding him lo continue hia pilgrimage. For a lew days past our goodly iiorougn oi Easton has been quite "frightened from its propriety" by an experimenter in Animal Mag netism, who has come into our midst. He has put a number of people lo sleep, and whilst they were in that unconscious 8iate,.madatnem perform a number.of wonderful, and almost in credible things. He seals tho individual, whom he wishes io magnetise, on a chair, places himself directly in front of him, and by the mere force of looking into his eyes steadily, and crossing his own hands, puis him into a. deep sleep in about ten or fifteen minutes. He then lets as many persons, as may desire to do so, come forward and satisfy themselves by investigation, that his subject is really asleep. After, having. done l.his, he tells the audience, thai the magnetised individual wijl. accompany any of them, in imagination, to any phtce ihey may wish to take him, and describe to them where ihey.are Some person then comes forward, and calling the. sleeper by his christ ened name, says "John, will you take a walk with me," to which he replies, "Yea." The person then fixes his mind upon some place, and without disclosing it. io any one, asks " well, John, where are we?" to which. he re plies "on the Hill," " by the river," " in Phil adelphia,' or wherever, clse.ahe person in im agination, may have taken him. He then is asked lo describo the place, which he does, although he may never hare seen it; when awake, with the same accuracy. that a waking person on the spot would. The Magnetisqr then says, thai the sleeping individual will de scribe the taste of any thing, he wijl put in his own mouth, and desires the audience to furnish him with something, so that. there may be no deception. He then goes into a distant corner of the room, behind the sleeper's back, and some person gives him " tobacco," " sugar," "lemon," " bread," or anything else which he puts in his mouth. He then inquires "John, what are we eating," to which he answers, " bread," " Ternon' or whatercr jt may. be. Strango as this may appear, hundreds of our Eastonians are firm believers in the reality of it. They say the sleeping man. read their thoughts, which ihey had made known lo rio one, and that they cannot help believing. For my own part, I shall suspend my judgmenMor a while.
