the cars, and took seats in an omnibus for
Lewisburg-our purpose being to attend
the Commencement of the University
there. The place was full of strangers, the
hotels were overnowing. Beautiful and
modest faces met US at every turn, and the
spirit-stirring notes of Hail Columbia,
Yankee Doodle, and Star-Spauglcd Ban
ner, saluted our ears. Now and then a
brace of students, with thoughtful faces,
moved by US, engaged in earnest talk.
Grayebrowcd professors, with little worlds
Of science tucked snugly under their hats,
walked solemnly on; cheerful ministers,
minus that long face through which once
the godly man was dubbed a terror to
children, stood in groups, and altogether
the place seemed inspiring to the stranger.
Yesterday was Commencement the day
dawned upon youthful and trembling spi-
rits, young and eager aspirants, flu:tering
feminine hearts, that hoped "somebody"
would do little better than all the rest;
and as it progressed, these was great
consultation of mirrors and clouds of white
muslin began to take form and fashion ,un-
til at last,the streets we're alive with beau
ty, and pleasant hum pervaded all the
air. 1t was decided that the services
should take place in the grove" Gods
first temple and accordingly thither We
directed our steps. The spirit of taste and
industry had been there before us, and
raised commodious seats and hung gar
lands of evergreen and flowers around and
above the different platforms. The band
discoursed its liveliest strains, every face
was alight, and not one sign of discomfort
was observable. But the clouds, if there
can be any concerted action among clouds,
took it upon themselves to have a COM
mencemcnt of their own, and so commence
Ell to rain, and great was the futtering
they caused.
We have word or two to say with re-
ference to cave which is one of the curl
osities Of the vicinity. A carriage drive
through scenes of surprising beauty, bro't
US to the hills of limestone imbedded in the
valley, and there we saw huge mouths
opening into rocky chasms, where the blast
ing power Of gunpowder has done its work.
Descending one of these, 10! We stood in
the very pu"eis ~e A. ---.h r~-:.:--
rather to be endured than coveted. But
it was very strange, very solemn, and even
awful. Long stalactites hung glittering
in the feeble light from the massy roof of
rock, and laid in huge boulders, sometimes
presenting the appearance of sarcophagi,
at others the mummifed semblance Of
dried up human beings.
1t has never been our lot, we think, to
"fall in" as the saying is, with more po-
lite and thoroughly hospitable people, that
those we met while sojourning in Lewis
burg. The town is delightfully."- situated
on the banks of the Susquehanna, and
when all the improvements in contempla-
ton shall have been completed, it will be
a gem set in the midst Of the mountains
for more fertile and lovely valleys, more
richly crowned heights, bluer skies, and
wider spreading orchards filed with lux
uriant fruits, We never beheld. May it
"fourish like palm tree and grow like
cedar in Lebanon" NJ. A. b.

IL. Not every species Of earth acts OF

for the spreading of the cholera to distant
places.
II. The disease is impaired to the ten.
ants Of house, that have not been infect
ed by direct contact, by sleeping in apart.
mcnts to which the above named catching
poison can come.
15. To prevent further infection and
spreading, the close-stools must, before
they are emptied, be made harmless, by an
addition of sulphate of iron or green cop
peras, dissolved in water. Chloride of
lime does not suffice, because it only puri-
fies the air, and does not destroy the chol-
era poison.
l6. Where strangers, out Of cholera dis
tricts, stop, the vault ought to be cleaned
at least once a week by an addition of sui
phate of iron. The same ought to take
place at all inns and hotels. In the differ.
ent apartments of hospitals the air ought
to be purified by papers, mois.ened with
spirits Of turpentine and exposed to the
air, placed at different places.
II. The clothes Of patient, that have
in the least degree been soiled by excre-
ments, should not be washed or soaked, be-
cause the poison is often called forth and
spread thereby in the most dangerous man
ner. 1t should invariably be burned in a
stove that enters fue.
Is. There are no other means of pre-
venting cholera, OF its spreading, than
those which tend to render harmless the
decomposition Of the human e1crenents,
and their being led off and removed in the
best and safest manner.
Prof. Pettenkcfer could only arrive at
By the utmost exertion and continual ac-
.ivity, By circumspective reflection upon
all circumstances and conditions, and only
a man of science, as he is, could ever have
solved so successfully such problem. To
show the satisfaction evinced at the results,
we will state that formal revolution has
taken place in the construction, &C., Of
vaults, and that special manufactures for
the making Of earthern pipes, &c, have
sprung up.-Cincinnati Daily CONNER.

The most beautiful display connected

with the Fair, was in Floral Hall. This
had been fitted up very tastefully, with
arches, festoons, and trellis work, Of white
cedar twigs, and the ladies had contrbu-
ted peculiar attraction to the place BY a
set of symbolic devices, in flowers and
leaves and other rustic material, represen.
ting all the different Counties in the State
The bright variety of flowers, roses, dah-
las, asters, pansies, verbcnas, salvias, &c.
was indeed splenlil.
But still more temptations was the Fruit.
Scarcely variety of apples of approved
excellence, except some Of the earliest
summer sorts, was wanting to the exhibi-
tior, while of pears, IIoyey & Son presen-
ted specimens of 200 varieties, Elwanger
4 Barry a still finer lot, though perhaps
not of quite so many sorts and other
growers, other collections of various merit
Plums were not remarkable, aud the
peaches by their green, shrivellcd appear
ance, seemed to plead for another year
that they might get their growth, But
grapes to say nothing of those shown
ty Barry and others, Mr.. Divcn of Elmira
( had three lunches there of Black and
White llamburgs, grown of course under
glass, one of which weighed nine pounds
avoirdupois.
Bu. we must descend to the grosser
fruits, cabbagcs, potatoes, carrots, &c, of
which there was but small show, and
ordinary in point of excellence. We saw
what were called California cucumbers,
rivaling in size the Silver Lake monster,
which the ladies in Floral Hall had dress
ed up as type of Wyoming county, and
lust about as inviting to the appetite
One lot Of carrots were very fine, and
some of the caulifowers good. We were
interested, too, in a collection embracing
twenty varieties Of potatoes, distinct and
pure, but on the whole this portion of the
show, including the samples of Grain and
Butter, would have been thought nothing
great in any truck raising County Fair.
1t seemed as if the farmers in that part
rot being used to the business, had sup
posed that all these were such common
things, that it was not worth while to
bring them to the Fatr-a very common
mistake.

that in spite of the horrible weather, We

of the community. B.

1--WE recently saw in the Boston Okre
Branch for the first time, notice of the Com
mencement of the University at Lewisburg,
from the pen of Mrs. DKSIsoS. the writer of
"Whnt Not" and other contributions TO the
polite literature of the day. The details of
the Commencement we omit, but some of her
descriptions of scenery &c. (evidently viewed
in the most happy frame of mindD will still be
rpadable.-EHs Chronicle.

The return of DR.. Kane and party from

termination of an adventurous undertaking
of more than ordinary peril. The expedi-

Melville Bay, and reaching the headland
