that officer did not agree with his associates,
Messrs. Thompson and Farwell, about the
Sutter Claim He considered that Gen. Sutter
was entitled to eleven leagues only, and not
33 leagues as given him by the late decision.

The PoLrrros OF THE DEMooRAr.--We
cannot but sdmire the eoarcge Of the edi-
tor Of the Democrat" in avowing his po-
litical sentiments; though we cannot say so
much for his discretion. 1t was impossible
for us, while reading his editorials Of last
week, to avoid constantly thinking Of the
fable of the little bull and the locomotive.
We fear our neighbor has not sufficiently
calculated the strength Of the engine he pro-
poses to bring his head in Contactwith. We
advise his keepers to remove him from the
enclosure, or fence the track, before the
powerful locomotive Anti Nebraska comes
along; for, if the cow-catcher should fail To
give him friendly toss, annihilation is inev.
table.
We shall give him little time to get out
Of the way, before we run the locomotive
through his enclosure. In other words, We
expect to be absent from home a short time
and if, on our return, the little bull is still
in the same pasture, determined to stop thu
locomotive, we shall not answer for the con
sequences. s

The Fourth OF July.

The 4th was beautiful day-clear and
bright, yet not oppressively hot. The day
was celebrated in many parts Of the county.
In the morning a procession Of Welsh,
embracing men, women, and children, pass
ed along Front street.. singing hymns and
anthems. We suppose il was probably a
Sabbath School celebration. Among the
the number in the procession were some
excellent singers, and altogether, the singing
was good, and produced very fine effect.
The procession was somewhat novel, but
we were much pleased with it. Where and
how they celebrated the day, we are NOT
advised. | f
A cannon placed on the bluff above the
Foundry, kept up q pretty brisk firing il
the morning. at noon, and in the evening
At one time, we think they did littli
the most rapid work we have ever heard
Of in that line.
In the afternoon, We visited Minersyille,
where We found quite large number o
men, women, and children. This was I
Sunday school celebration. A fine din
ner had been prepared. and an oratiop
delivered. The orator, we believe was osl
brother editor from West Colambia. Th,

SprRITuAL.--We see that Rev. J. G.
Lovejoy, brother Of the Martyr, and for-
merly a strong advocate for freedom from
oppression, and freedom from rum, was the
chief speaker at the late meeting in Faneuil
Hall, Boston, Of the friends Of good liquor
and free drinks. He has become the spirit
ual advisor Of the rummies, and charged
them to disregard the law; to sell, and sell
openly in spite Of it; and to furnish such an
army to the house Of correction that it
would not hold them. The Boston Tele-
graph in allusion to this course says: N
Poor man! When we think of what he
was once--how nobly he defended the tenn
perance cause and the prohibition Of the
rum traffic by law, manfully he
fought the battles Of freedom, and how elo-
qaeptly and powerfully he set forth from
the sacred desk The claims Of the gospel, we
are led to exclaim, chow are the mighty
fallen!' +.

besides a partial attendance Of several
others; and these with the parents and
friends of the scholars made an assembly
Of no small number. We marched to the
music of the drum and fife and under a
beautiful national fiag, made for the occa-
sion by some young ladies-mem of the
Sabbath School.
In the forenoon, after the reading Of the
DEcLARATIoN of INDEPENDENCE, addresses
were made by Rev. Mr.. Frampton, and
Rev. Mr.. johnson. A free dinner was then
served up, which was highly relished by all.
In the afternoon we were favored with
an able and interesting address on the i'm
portance and utility of Sabbath Schools, by
the Rev. Mr.. Frampton,
The following resolutions were then
brought forward and read by Mr.. Thos.
Radford, and were unanimously adopted
by the meeting:
1st. Resoiped, That the Sabbath School
cause.is Of God; intimately connected with
the happiness and spiritual interest Of the
rising generation; the nursery of character;
the hope Of the nation.
ed. Resolved, That we do not consider,
that the Sabbath School releases parents
from their personal obligations to train up
their children in the ways Of morality and
religion, but as auxiliary thereto.
Sd. Resolved, That we are more and
more impressed with the Importance
of urging upon our friends and neigh
bors, and especially the heads Of families tc
cooperate in the benevolent enterprise.
4th. Rssolced, That we make more Wig
orous effort in the circulation of our Sabbath
School libraries and literature. -
9th. Resolved, That the Ministers Of the
Gospel be requested to visit our schools al
often as they can make it convenient.
9th. RESOLVED, That there be Sabbatl
School established in every School Distric
where the same can be done.
7th. RESOLVED, That ,opy of the abov,
resolutions be furnished to each Sabbatl
School.

very little change since last week. 1t
is difficult to tell what Wheat is worth now,
as we believe millers are not buying much

Green Apples have have made their ap-

there is any change, is Molasses, which has

No7EwoRrHY.-In conversation, yes,er.
days with Nj. Gill our extensive seed and
sgrlculturalimplemep, dssler, he related TO
us some matters that are Of general interest.
He says. for the last three years combined,
be has not sold go much seed OF all kinds
% he has ,his season. He ordered large
assortment bu, |, was soon swept away. He
sen. frequent orders subsequently, 70 the
East. and some TO Cleveland. From his OBJ.
seryalion and conversation with farmers, he
finds that vas. increase OF quantity mas
been planted this spring, for all kinds Of veg.
sable productions. The earth has been lit
erally filled with seed. and never was The
prospect Of q glorious crop more suspicious.
While This has been the case with seeds,
he says tho sale OF all kinds Of agricultural
Implements hos thus far been much behind
that Of former years. Las, year. before this
time, he sold some Ten or dozen mowers
and reapers; this year he has sold bu. one
reaper, and no, one moving machine. Two
causes conspire to produce This marked re.
suit. Las, year, HANDS were exceeding
scarce. and Il was almost impossible 10 pro.
cure the necessary help for the harvest 6el d.
This year, hundreds Of men are travelling
abou, seeking employment. and ready and
willing 10 work for comparatively low wa.
ges. There is rot such necessity for ma.
chimes as there was then. The scarcity ol
money also induces many to postpone The
purchase Of new impleCen,s for this season

old cradles and scy,hes 70 help them 90 Eel,
out Of their harvesls. 20. s.. Jorwal.
