Learning Something Well;

1t is of great importance-m1y we not
say essentiai to future success or usefulness
in the world-that young persons learn
something reH. We do not much care
what it is, suppossng it not to be repre-
bensible. 1t will give them the habit of
learning reU all that they attempt. They
will become dissatisfied with any other mode
of flearning-inasmuch as they see it does
not suit their purpose. They speak with
confidence about what they kno~-doubt-
fully and distrusting, allowing them to be
candid, of what thev have acquired impcr-
fectly. The habit Of acquiring specifically
in our youth, is apt to attend us through
life. We are apt to acquire all things in
the same way. 1t places US at the mercy
Of frontless opponents, who often assert a
thing to be true, which they do not know
to be so-as also Of those who are more
accurate than ourselves. 1t prevents US,
too. from being useful to the world or any
mart Of it in fine to know nothing 'ce'

Ladies and the Fair.

1t is presumed that no lady will consi-
der it beneath or above her station to en-
courage needle-work, by producing speei-
mems, and being rewarded for her skill.
With all his wisdom, Solomon did not
think it lost time tor a wife to cultivate
both the useful and the Ornamental. He
describes the wise woman, and says; "She
make,h herself coverings of tapcstry'-
she "laye,h her hands to the spindle, and
holdeth the distaif" During all ages, the
taste and ingenuity of the fair sex, in the
quiet ofdomestic life, have reproduced, with
her wonderful needle, the finest pictures
of the artist, and the choicest flowers Of the
field Needle-work has refining infu
ence upon the sex. Even the prisoner in
her cell, and the patient nun, beguile their
solitude with lace-work and embroidery
Aud, if our ladies need the prestige of ex-
ample, they have it in Mrs. Crittenden, a
lady of rare accomplishments and the wife
of Il Governor of Kentucky and Attorney
General under Prcsiden, Taylor, who took
Il premium at a State Fair in Kentucky,
for wrought table covcring-in both Mrs.
and Miss Fillmore, the wife and daughter
of our late chief Magistrate, who received
premiums at a Fair in New York City, for
similar work-and in Mrs. Briggs, the
wife of the Hon. George n, Briggs, sever

AMERICAN INDEBTEDNESS ABROAD

AMERICAN INDEBTEDNESS ABROAD
For some time past, the Secretary OF the
Treasury is understood to have been en-
deavoring to obtain the information nee
essary to enable him to reply effectively to
the resolution cf Senator Hrodhead, calling
for information as to the amount OF Amer
lean stocks, &c held abrca1. He has so
far obtained about seven hundred replies
to his circulars to that end, which shed
much light on the subject. Yet, we are
inclined to believe that he has to encoun-
ter The now stereotyped difficulties Of get
tipo such information which made similar
expositions Of his predecessors little more
than approximate estimatcs-many Pres
dents of railroad companies among Others,
and even Governors of States have declin-
ed furnishing to him information in their
reach. This arises, we presume, from the
common iudiSposition Of men to signify to
others the exact condition of their busl-
ness. However, new circular Will shottiy
be issued from the Department, which, 1t
is hoped. will serve to awaken those who
as vet refuse to reply, to the fact that the
public interest is deeply involved in thus
spreading before Congress and the country
reliable statitics concerning the condition
of our financial relations with Europe. The
press everywhere should urge prompt and
full compliarce with these requests OF the
Government for necessary information

Stite Fair at Pitts5urg.

SIiLe GdiI dL ElttSJuIS'
PIrrsBURG, Sept. 29.-The exhibition
of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Society now holden at the city of Pittsburg,
is very large, and has already been visited
by over $1,000 persons and up to this
evening the receipts have reached Sl3 900.
The weather has been favorable, and the
display Of household manufactures, flowers,
carriages, vegetables, &c, is very fine. The
sheep are admitted to be the best ever ex
hbited in this country. The horses aud
horned cattle, though very fine, did not
quite compare with the other departments
of the Fair.
PIrrsBURG, Sept 80, s53.-The State
Fair opened here on Tuesday last, and
still continues in operation. So great Is
the variety of live stock, farming utensils,
machinery, fruits, &c, that the eye be-
comes weary in admiring, aud you turn
away, wishing for lifetime Of leisure to
a~.m.na IN ~n .L~;- ...;------, '--'-''~' .
and things" Of such interest and 'mpor-
tance.
The exhibition is the largest evet given
III reunsyivauIa, and does credit to the
good old Keystone State, and to her sons
and daughters who have engaged IN the
agricultural enterprise. No one who has
passed over the grounds with the most
superficial observation, can doubt for u
moment that farming has been reduced to
science. The department Of live stock
is large, and of the most celebrated breeds
in the country. There are chickens of ali
sorts, sizes and colors, from the tallest
Shanghai down to the diminutiye bantam.
MIR. Taggart, of Northumberland, makes
quite a large display Of Coehin-Chlna,
Shanghai'S, &C., which, for variety, excel
lence, and size, will vic with any others
on exhibition.
The exhibition of fruits is exceedingly
interesting. Mr.. Thomas Thornley,, OF
Fallston, Beaver county, Pa, exhibits
forty-two varieties of the finest apples,
three varieties of natural grapes, and a
half bushel of seckel pears, which, IN size
and quality, the world cannot beat, This
gentlemen also exhibits a silver goblet,
presented to bis father in 1860, by the
Horticultural Society of Manchester, En-
gland, for draining the largest quantity Of
land. Thorp, Smith & Co, of Syracuse
nursery, exhibit eighty varieties Of choice
apples, one hnhrlre1 ard .toriy varieties
of pears also, grapes, peaches and other
fruits. William Martin, of Allegheny
county, has on exhibition large quantity
Of grapes, among which is a branch con-
tanning one hundred and forty two punches
These are, however, but few exhibitors
of fruit, but will serve to give an idea OF
the strength Of this branch of the exhi-
bi,ion. Apart from agriculture, there is a
large display of manufactures and nier-
chandise, principally the resources Of the
cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny. At
one eni of the enclosure is park, III
which blooded horses are continually RI
cling, greatly increasing the excitement
and a fine band of music adds still another
charm to the sceue. The enclosure con
tains about twenty acres, and was to-da,
actually crowded, there being more thai
forty thousand persons on the ground
