But the same that was rolled in his granafy at
night, was found out by some person or persons
and reported about town. MIR. Laws, finding
that his secrets had become public, shipped said
whiskey on board Northern vessel for Phila-
delphia Then, Mr.. Editor, the anti-temper-
ance men vented their spleen against him,
which gave light to things heretofore unknown.
But suppose those that he'd taken such an ac-
tive part in getting it here, interceded, and
caused Mr.. Laws to goon board of the vessel,
about IL o'clock, Of the same night, and roll it
| back.
Now, MIR. Editor, would like for some one
to inform me which is the worst, man for the
Ike of filthy lucre, who engages in business
which he mselfacknowledges to be disreputa-
BILE, and consequently dishonest, or a person or
persons who sign their names and use their in
fuence, and absolutely urge him to it.

PRosPEcTs OF THE FARMERs.--From Europe
we have advices oflarge crops. That of France
is said to be one-fourth above the average, and
those of England and Germany are reported as
abundant. Our farmers cannot, therefore, look
to Europe for market. From California we
have adyices that the home supply of wheat is
very large-that the mountain regions are
raising immense numbers of swine, cattle and
poultry--and that fresh meats are generally al
cheap in the mines as in the agricultural vail
leys below. In this state of things the Journals
Of that State are rejoicing for, as they say,
the gold no longer passes off as soon as It il
obtained. The yield of the mines is ncreasing
but the export is decreasing, and they are dalJ
lncreas~n ~ng ~ their power 10 retain the QUANTITY
required for circulation. Looking westward
our farmers see thus a declining market; look
ing eastward they see the same; looking home
ward, they see that they are no longer to bt
secure III their own market. Canada will thi.
year have 100000 of bushels of wheat for il
Next year she will probably have 2O,OOO,CO
and as we have now granted an enormous
bounty on all her agricultural products, we ma
reasonably calculate that the increase from
year to year will be enormous-and that th
whole of it will seek a market within the Union
the consequence of which will, as is believed
be disastrous to our farmers, to which it woul
be, at this moment, hazardous to fix the limit.

mer owner of the property was Mr.. John
Rhodes, a staid old bachelor farmer, who has in
herited it in lineal descent from the grant that
was given by VIM. Penn. He sold it, tshowever,
about three years ago, to Robert West, ESQ.,,
of Lewes, who is now in possession of it. If
some enterprising capitalist would purchase
and make proper Improvements, it would, no
doubt, become a place of note. Lots can be
purchased of Mr.. West, on advantageous
terms.
The celebrated vocalist, Miss Rchings, is to

There IS to be a Camp Meeting held at a

Address to a. Jug Of Rum.

Hear, only by rock controlled
And slender walls of earthen mould
In all the pornp OF death, repose
The seed of many bloody nose;
The scattering tongue, the horrid oath;
The first for lighting nothing 10th;
The passion which 10 word can tame,
That bursts like sui phur into fame:
The nose carbuncled, glowing red;
The broken eye, the broken head,
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
Of murder, naming, and dispute.
Assault that innocence assails;
The images Of gloomy jails;
The glddy thought on mischiefbent;
The midnight hours in riot spent;
All these within this jug appear,
And Jack, the hangman in the rear"

RED LION CAMP AiEETING.-Durng the past

Red Lion, and will close Tomorrow. For q
number of years the Methodists have been in
the habit Of making pilgrimage to this spot
to spend season in the uninterrupted worship
of God, and often has that delightful grove been
vocal with his praise. It's numerously attend
cd by persons from Philadelph and the sur.
rounding towns-nearly every church having
large wotshipping tent, accompanied with
from ten to twenty private tents. The New
Castle and Frenchtown Railroad passes within
quarter OF a mile OF the ground, and for the
accommodation of visitors, the cars made ar
excursion about every hour to the camp ground
depot. On Saturday afternoon and evening, il
is supposed, at least four thousand persons from
Philadelphia. arrived on the ground. The en-.
eampment is the largest we ever saw. The
number OF tents, according to the Republican,
are $50; but, from the best information We
could gather, they number at least 600. Per.
sons from the surrounding country, to the dis
tance of thirty and forty miles, were there
and, Notwithstanding the throng, the very bes
order preyailed--not row occurred, nor q
drunken man was seen during the whole day. o.
