oITnv CRors.-The Harvest is nearly past
and the crops, generally, with the exception Of
:hc hay crop, have been excellent. In some
places the yield is not SO abundant nigh, have
been expected, but We think there never was
better grain produced than the wheat of the pre-,

OJ-The Supreme Court commenced its ses. |
sion at this place, on Monday week last. The
Judges are all present Judge Burusides makes
his first appearance hero, the present session.
We also observed Robert NJ. Barr, Esq, of
Reading, busly engaged in "takin notes" Mr.. |
Bsrr has been appointed, by the Governor, the
Reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court,
under an act Of the Legislature, passed last ses.
sion. Mr.. Barr is lawyer, of course, and was
formerly a member from "Old Bcrks," which
county he represented with great ability. He
devotes his whole attention to the subject, and
will, no doubt, give general satisfaction to the
profession, as n Reporter. The labors Of the
Supreme Court have greatly increased within
the last l2 or IS years. The Judges on the
Bench toll necessarily at their labors, and. with
the exception OF about three weeks in the year.
are constantly engaged in the discharge of their
duties Theirs is, indeed, no sinecure Office
We know no men who labor SO hard and so inces-
sanity, these self same and much abused
Judges. We certainly do not envy their station
and had we the abilities Of Chief Justice Marshall
we should be 10th TO accept seat on the Bench
with them, unless compelled TO do SO from dire
necessity.

Gg ASorHER MuRprR.--On Saturday nigh,
last, John Stewart of Nppenose bottom. near
Jersey Shore, was killed in an afffay, by John
Hunt, of Lock Haven. Hunt is a brother. in. law

own confession. who says that Stewart and him.
self quarreled as they were going out to the field
for Hunts horse, about oclock at night Tha,
in the afray he drew dirk knife and stabbed
Stewart. The knife entered the left breast cut

went to Jersey Shore. and next morning gave him
self up TO the authorities, and is now confined il
the Jail at Williamsport.
% A rumor was a1oat Saturday last, tha
Mr. BrcHaSAN had resigned the office Of Secre
tary Of State under Mr.. Polk As the Baltimor,
and Washington papers were silent on the sub

founded report. The Washington Union contra
diets the report in the most positive manner
and adds "The reason assigned for his resgna
tion, is as fabulous as the report itself Their

For the American.
| saw beautious flower il raised its head
Proudly and glorously. But there came blast
From the cold North--,he flower lit passed
away.
saw summer cloud, to sp'endour it,
By the descending sun. Its gorgeous hurs
Were far beyond the pencils art to paint.
Still lower sunk the sun Where was the cloud.
With its most lnsrous beauty, Passed away.
saw maiden in her spring of life
Ioveler than summer flower, or sun.lit cloud.
Her eye was like the stars-her form was such
As Sculptures dreamed of in the oden time.
But hush, my feeble muse 1T is not thine
To sing of charms like hers. The days roll'd on.
And where was she--the loved and beautiful
The grave has claimed its own---she passed away.
And so it is with all that's bright on earth
Like TO the maid, our joys--like to the cloud
Our hopes-lke to the flower, our dreams.

The Poetry of Family Affection.

Tho rose that blooms in Sharon's. vale.
And scents the purple mornings breath,
May IN the shades Of evening fail,
And bend its crimson head in death,
And iairer ones amid the to ND
May like the blushing rose decay,
But still the mind-the mind shall bIoora
Whea time and nature fade away;
And then, amid holier sphere,
Where se-sphs bow, with deepest ave.
Where sits in majesty severe,
The author of eternal law,
The ransomed Of the earth with Joy
Shall in their robes Of beauty come,
And find rest without alloy
Amid The Christians happy home.
