"We believe eshall be certain fdoing service
to the people Of the State, il we say word two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such q work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those of mere orthography or
1thoepy--it cannot be too copous and comprehen-
sive. When one is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to an abridgment that gives him
synonym, instead Of definition; but he demands
to know much as anybody knows OF its history
or etymology, and all its different shades Of mean
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion

nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-

The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue Of the
cad mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
(particulary the portion situated in Ilinas) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date Of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring' the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They all more or less

The Fourth Of JULY

Is day sacred and dear to the heart of every
lover'of our free and happy country On that
day, in the year l776, was adopted the memo
rable ''DEcLARATIoS OF ISDEPESpENcE." which
If We consider the effects which il ultimately
produced, the CONSERVATION that it oecasioned
whenxeceived in England, or the. samirable and
eloquent style in which it is couched bx-sh.
greatest Of the then, living writer's, the immor-
tai JEFFERSON, places it far above any paper
that ever preceded it, and we look in vain to
the future TO produce anything SO wonderful in
itself, SO beneficial to the world. The 75th
anniversary of that day will soon arrive and we
ask what is to be done by the people of Ebens-
burg? Have we no desire to celebrate it in a
becoming and proper manner? Certainly we
have, and we suggest the idea of an immediate
attention to this matter, and as all the different
villages of our county are about doing some
thing to remember it, let us 20 to work and
have dinner, parade, picnic, or anything,
so as it will enable US to give one day for cur
country.

About one o'clock on Friday morning FIRE
broke out in the Spade and Shovel Factory Of
Messrs. Negley & Mohan, situated on Liberty
street, about two squares above the ecanal bridge
The building was an old frame one, dry as =
powder house, and before the fremen could
reach the ground it was completely enveloped
in flames, destroying it with all its machinery:
Planning machine adjoining, and three houses
belonging to Mr.. Ellis. We regret to learn that
upon this property there was no insurance, and
the loss will be most severely felt by the suffe.-
ers. At this fire the fremen worked under
every possible disadvantage-the street is in an
almost impossible condition in consequence Of
the grading and laying of the rails for the Cen
tral railroad, and it was with the greatest diff
Guilty that the engines could be got sufficiently
near to do any service, and when they vers
there the supply Of water was so trifing thai
they were compelled 20 stand idle half thsr
time. Under all the circumstances il is q uOn-
der that much larger amount Of property vas
not destroyed. -FfttsSurg Chroniele.
