AB gu4o}l-4Ty anu dppEOpTlate CeleDraLlOn OI the Nalilnal Anniversary. The sparkling
 fiverI I6e teaming meadows-the umbrage-
 ous Woo1s-the hoary headed mountains, all
 reioiced with joy unspeakable as the uncloud- cd eye of day beamed upon them in its bene- licence and glory. We would we had been there. and our wish is not diminished by the letter 0f b friend, from which we make the following extract:
 ~Out Rural Tea Party was more beautiful and thrrnged with Q greater number of peO- pie froT3 abroad, as well as from our own fOSfl. nm any recent year. It is quite ra- tion3E hs we'll as most delightful way of Gel ebftting the Fourth. The moody method If cIhding the fairer part of creation from al 5uf public festivities, to say the least, is in bad inste, and evinces great Restitution of gaIIantry in American gentlemen. How she ling the idea of the males herding toge-
 tller to oconsume pigs and poultry, and punish the wine bottle, while the better part of socie- ~ is leit at home to droop in dullness and s0liluds! The Bower for the Tea Party this
 yeaf Nns formed by beautiful Orchard in
 Pleasant street, fanked by the animated little
 MiII Ever. In rear of the grounds, grove Of ldlfb trees interposed to keep off the sun, so that lie spot had the seclusion and coolness of hT unbroken forest. In retired corner, aini0M concealed by foliage and flowers, the tables were placed, covered with the richest afd most beautiful pastry, the product of the fair lands then gathered upon the green.- The Exquisite flowers and beautiful Wreaths aiid dark green foliage with which the tables were Surrounded, formed Bower of rural txiSte and bcauty,in which Flora herself might have loved to nestle. Behind these tables
 wsE8 placed four fair ones, who presided there hnd dispensed their smiles, as they did theit xefreshments, with generous liberality to the aelighted guests. The company arriv- ed about four o'clock, to the number of some hundreds, in their most beautiful and gay at tire While the refreshments were circulat- ine sOine were standing ill merry groups un- def he shade of the overhanging trees, and 0slaGfs were seated, engaged ill social conver- satlOn. Some were prolnenadlng the green iiac0uples, and others stood in the rich shade, iii quiet enjoyment of the quadrille or cotil- IiCns Here group of little ones forming juvenile party ,and there gay circle of bright beings just budding into youth or woman hood The music from the band led off the whole in promenade round the Bower, and then when its notes quickened, they broke into sets, and the gay dance and merry laugh were flung over the green. Then again, in aH0ther beautifully shaded spot, some fair one, with guitar or piano forte, held in de- iightful suspense another group, by the rich tones of her voice or the exquisite touch of her instrument. It was thus the afternoon of the day was spent in Northampton, in the midst 0fIoveliness and beauty-the melody of mu- sie--thc exciting dance-the social prome- by the serenity of rural tnste, with refreshments of delicate kind, which gratified without inebriating. It was a spectacle of rare interest and exquisite beau ty. No man could witness it's innocent joys and festivities without being impressed with the justness of this opinion. We had bellies, aye, city bellies, from the Carolinas, from Flo- Iidn, and from each of the great cities, yet l declare to you, in beauty, cultivation, taste, md refinement, they did not excel some of our village bellcS.'"

 College Rebellion.-The Greenfield Gazette states that there has been an explosion in Amherst College which seriously threatens t0 abridge the present usefulness of the ln- skitution. It states as the cause of the troub- les that sat the giving out the parts for C0mnlencement, number of students de- 4llne0 their acceptance, on account of con- seientious scruples. One of them couched llls declination in disrespectful language, for
 which he was called to an account, and as he could not make such acknowledgements as the Faculty required, was expelled. His fel- low students deeming the terms of the Facul- ty oppressive, remonstrated, but without ef- lect. They then unanimously signed let ler to the friends of the young man, express sive of their sympathy in his behalf. This ave umbrage to the Faculty. who suspen- l1ed number who had been most active in lhe matter and this again gave offence to the remaining students, who declared they would leave the College if the others were not permitted to come back. The Faculty were to meet and decide the matter on Mon- day last.
 Another Murder.-A horrid murder was committed in Holland in this county, last sgcek, under singular and as yet mysterious The person murdered was gAivin Fuller of that town. The following no the facts, so far as we have learned them:
 Mr. Fuller was first missed on Monday Iast-and nothing being heard of nm, on Wednesday suspicious began to be entertained that he was murdered. On Thursday morning search for him com

 Eounded. It was supposed that he was kil- .ed on Sunday night by the infliction of blows Rith club or other weapon, and then Ehrown into the pond with weight attached D the body to cause it to sink-his suspen- aers, as supposed, being made use of for this Purpose. as they were found hanging loose Nbout the body.
 In the mean time suspicion fell upon one Jesse Hull, Jr., who lived in the neighborhood
