neAThe second of the Lewisburg course
of Lectures will be delivered on Tuesday
evening Of next week. Subject-"Books !:
their Uses"
The Lecture by Rev. DR.. Malcom last
evening was well attended, and an hour
very pleasantly passed in pithy and plain
portraitures of the position, productions,
customs, religion, &C., of the people of the
Burman Empire. We are confident that
a continuation of Lectures on the same
field would be desired by all who heard
the first, and hope Dr.Malcom will consent
TO crafty them on some future occasion.

g-Thc trial of Hannaway for Treason
resulted, under the charge of Judge Grier,
in his instantaneous acquittasand discharge
after months of suffering and exhausting
his means in selfdefence. 1t is allowed on
all hands that more groundless prosecu-
ton for so grave an offence was never ms

in clearer light than ever the inherent
brutality and tyrannical nature of the
Slave Power.-A notye prosequi was ente-

their trial on the charge of riot or murder.

@-The enterprising citizens of Montour
and Columbia counties are moving for the
Erie and Phi!ad. Railroad through their
borders; and those of Muncy, Williams
port, &C., are resolved to have the connec-
ton made; without caring as to whether it
be overland to Catawissa &c. or by Sunbury
and the West Branch. Meantime, what
are the people along this river, doing !?
The people of Sunbuy have more interest
in the river route than those Of any other
town, yet, if our memory is correct, they
subscribed less than $4,000 to the stock,
while at the same time and place one citi-
zen of Dauphin county subscribed SIC, 1000.

nyThere has been considerable dis
cussion i'll the U. S. Senate, as to the
manner of the reception of Kossuth at
Washington. On Friday last, the follow
ing joint resolution, proposed by Mr..
Seward, was adopted:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States, in
Congress assembled, That the Congress
of the United States, in the name and in
behalf of the people Of the United States,
give Louis Kossuth cordial welcome to
the Capitol Of the country.
Yes-33. Nays-Messrs. Badger,
Bcrland, Clemens, Dawson, Morton, and
Underwood GALL Southerners)-6.
The announcement of the result was
followed by much applause in the gallery.
The resolution was then read third
time and passed.
"A genius in the House, from Alabama,
rejoicing in the name of Smith, has pro-
posed to arrest Kossuth (according to the
report in the Daily News) on the charge Of
treason. He evidently thinks it is just
as bad for a servant to get away from his
master in Austria, as it is in America, and
is prepared to catch fugitives" wherever
he can find them; whether their skin is a
shade darker or lighter. Hon. Mr.. Smith
seems very honestly to think should make
no difference.

I@On our first page will be found
scrap of local history, which will interest
very many. We are told the Buffaloe
Presb. Ch. had log house for worship at
the Cross Roads before or Immediately
after the Revolution; that made way tor
large stone house and now neat brick
structure, with fenced graveyard adjoln-
ing, is the quiet and hallowed place tor
worship of a church which dates its first
planting pretty we'll towards century
ago. The Presb. Ch. in Lewisburg is one
of the offshoots from old Buffaloe.
Can any one tell the year of the first
white settlement in Bufaloc Valley? We
shall hope to see the era noticed by ga
thering Of her scattered SONS and daughters
at Centennial Celebration.
E1~The Maine Farmer Of the 4th inst.
states that November has been not very
cold, but the ground has been covered with
snow enough to drive all the sheep to the
barr, and brought the foddering season along
month earlier. During a part of the
month it has been very good sleighing.
The Boston Traveller, speaking Of Novem-
Der, has the following statements
"In the northern part Of Maine, the
weather has been SO severe that it was sup.
posed, at Bangor, winter had actually com
menced. But cold November is far from
being a sure indication of a cold winter
Indeed, the severest and most inclemen'
November within the last y years (tha'
of 1850 was followed by the mildest win
ter within our recollection, and the only
one in which, as it was said, the Hudson
River was not closed by ice"

" Oh Mary, go and call the cattle home,
And call .hc cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
Across the sands o. Dcc;"
The western wind was wild and dark wi foam,
And all alone went she.
Tho creeping tide came up along the sand,
And DER and o'er the sand,
And found and round the sand,
As far as eye could see;
The binding mist came down and hid the land
oh, is it weed, or fish, or floating hair
A tross o. golden hair,
o. drowned maidens hair,
Above the nets of sea
Was never salmon yet that shonc so fair,
Among the stakes on Dee"
They rowcd her in across the rolling foam,
The cruel crawling foam,
The cruel hungry foam,
To her grave beside the sea fhome
But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle
Across the sands o. Dee

aAll Thy Works Praise Thee"
ny MARY nowIrr.


The moonbeams on the billowy deep,
The blue waves rippling on the strand,
The ocean in its peaceful sleep,
The shell that murmurs on the sand,
The cloud that dims the bonding sky,
The bow that on its bosom glows,
The sun that lights the vault ON high,
The stars Mt midnight's calm reposc;
These praise the power that archhcd the sky
And robed the earth in beauty's dye.
The melody Of Natures choir,
The deep-toncd anthems of the sen,
The wind that tunes a viowless Tyre,
The zephyr on its pinions free,
The thunder with its thrilling notes,
The peal upon the mountain air,
The lay that through the foliage floats,
Or sinks in dying cadence there:
These all to Thee their voices raise,
y ferycnt voice Of gushing praise.
The day star, herald Of the dawn,
As the dark shadows fit away;
The tint upon the cheek Of morn,
The dewdrop cleaning ON the spray
From wild birds in their wanderings,
From strcamlet leapiDg to the sea,
From all carth's fair and loving things,
Doth living praise ascend to Thee:
These, with their silent tongues proclaim
The varied wonders of Thy name.
Father, thy hand formed the flower,
And flung it on the vordant lea,
Thou badcst it opc at summers hourj
It's hues of beauty speak OF Thee.
Thy works all praise Thee shall not man
Alike attunc the greatful hymn,
Shall we not join the lofty strain,
Echoed from heart OF seraphim.
We tune to Thee our humble lays,
Thy, mercy, goodness, love, we praise.

If YOU wish to be happy at home,
Then your heart to that wish is the door;
Keep It open-and angels may come,
And enter, and dwell evermore,
Ger each feeling ray will be cast,
AS if lit by some magical gem;
You will think you've found heaven at last.
But the angels have brought it with them.
Keep 1t open,-and friendship and love
And happiness-all-will be thine:
A gleam Of Elysium above
Aspark Of the spirit divine
Keep It shut-and then Pride will have birth
And Envy, and all VIC condemn;
You will think you've perdition on earth.
Prido and Envy have bropghtit it with them
Inc world will seem colder each day;
lis an image those demons but throw:
Cast your pride and your envy away,
And the worlds seeming coldness will 90.

And to this your own heart be the door:

is farmer in Ohio, to ask whether he had
as good furniture now, as when at home.
lie replied that she must not bother him
with such questions, but to give her some
idea of his style of living, would state that
his entire farm was wholly fenced with black
walnut,
