Stroud, Andre and Swarlwood, are making active preparations for the erection of a large Flour ing mill, in the lower part of this Town. Mr. David Keller, is about erecting a three story Brick Wilding on the south side of Eliz abeth street, nearly opposite the Hotel of Stroud J. Hollinshead. Mr. Robert Boys recently opened a large and richly furnished Store in his commodious Brick building, near the Washington Hotel. There are about 3,000 cords of bark annually consumed at the extensive tanning establishments of Messrs. Singmastcr and Hull, of this place. OCT We would suggest to the County Com missioners the propriety of paving in front of the Court House. It could be done cheaply, with either flatr stone or brick. We are sure that no citizen of the county who was here during last term of Court, would object to paying his quota of the expense, in compass ing so desirable an object Judges, Lawyers and Suitors were annoyed by getting stuck in the mud.

A convention of lay delegates of the Meth odist Episcopal church assembled in Philadel phia on the 3d inst. Prof. Allen presiding. In his opening address, he said the Conven tion was called to consider the propriety .of memorializing the General Conference to so alter the constitution of the Church as to pro vide for a lay representation in the law ma king bodies of the Church. Whether such representation should be'extended both to the general and the annual conferences, was a question also before the Convention. Here tofore, he said, the laity had been without a voice in the law making bodies-ofthe Church The only power possesed by the laity at pres ent had been said to be to starve the preach er into a compliance with their terms. Forty-one churches were represented, in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Mas sachusetts, Vermont, District of Columbia, Ohio, and Delaware. The Committee on resolutions reported a series providing for the carrying out of the ob ject of the Convention, prefaced by a pream ble setting forth the reasons for the proposed change, the chief of which is that it would render the government of the M. E. Church like that of all other Protestent churches, and promote a greater degree of harmony, satis faction, and prosperity in the Church. The Convention on Thursday terminated its labors having adopted a resolution in fa vor of lay delegates to the General Confer ence. Buchs Co. Intel.

Green, a free colored man, was convicted of theft, and sentenced to be sold out of the State for fifteen years. many, previously hostile to a change of the well-working tariff of '42, acquiesced in the change, under false representations of its friends. For a time the glowing predictions of Walker & Co. seemed likely to be fulfil led. Famine favored them, and secured' a demand for our breadstuffs which was quite overwhelming. The following table shows the value of ex'ports for the several years named : 1846-7 - - - 27,000,000 1847- 8 - - 19,500,010 1848- 9 - .- - 23,700,000 1849- 50 - - 12,200,000 1850- 51 - - - 8,100,000 It will be seen that with the famine years the usual demand ceased-; and that now our exports are nearly down to the average stan dard of previous years. The truth is, that however excessive our imports may be, Great Brittain will only take our breadstuffs in exchange on compulsion. So long as it is for her interest to buy her wheat and Flour.here, she will do so but not an hour longer; bo that, while our own man ufacturers and artisans are suffering from the ruinous competition of the cheap labor of Eu rope, our farmers find a growing market chec ked by a policy sanctioned under a delusive promise that the destruction of one market would be more than made up by the opening of another.

A country paper says that 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, a very easy remedy for a most perplexing evil, and much more economical and less troublesome than gunpowder, rat exterminator," cats, or traps. N. Y. Post. The lion. Henry Clay's health is proving. im- Ma. Allan N. Wilson, editor of the Som erset Whig, died on Thursday, the2Gth ult., in the 47th year of his age. Mr. Wilson, was a native of Trenton, the eldest son of James J Wilson, the distinguished editor of the old True American, and leader of the old Democratic party in New-Jersey. After the death of his father, Mr. Allan N. Wilson was for a short time the editor of the True American, and was afterwards connected with the Neib-Jerscy Union, then the organ of the Whig party in this city. He was af terwards editor of the Belvidere Apollo, but has been for some few years the editor of the Somerset, Whig. Mr. W. was a man of much intelligene, and a keen and polished writer. He had high-toned political principles, and a very lively sense of what was honerable in the conduct of public affairs. He, there fore, was quite distinguished for the zeal with which he assailed whatever he deemed cor rupt in politics, no less than for the keen sar casm with which he exposed it to public con demnation. He was a warm friend and a true man For many years he has suffered much from severe disease, which has often entirely disabled him. Mr. W. had many old friends in this city, who will sincerely lament his death. Tren State Gazette, History set right. Henry Clay, in a card to the press, denies that he was the writer of the spceoh made by Lafayette in reply to his (Clay's) address upon the occasion of his last visit to this country.
