Mr.. DEyINE Not having seen any notice
in your last issue of the Exhibition, which
took place at the annual commencement of ST.
Francis Academy. on Wednesday, July Is,
1857 I have thought it advisable to send you
the following brief account. The exhibition
passed of most pleasantly, gratifying the high
expectations Of the immense audience, and
fully sustaining the exalted and well earned
reputation Of the Institution. The barn, In
which the exhibition was held, was tastefully
and comfortably arranged. and the stages
beautifully decorated with eycrgreens, paint
iugs mathematical diagrams, &c. The per-
formances opened with Saluts.ory by Syl-
vester Cosgrave. followed with select ora:ions
by James McDevitt in English, and Henry
Jacobs in French-all of which were well
delivered and fully appreciated, particularly
the French. The original orations by Messrs.
Blskely, Kane, Christy, Gafney, Letter,
Cassidy, Keogh, Walsh, Kerr. G Gallagher and
Dunn, were creditable alike to the talent with
which they were composed, and the ease aud
elosuence with which they were spoken
The Fsledictory by +. j. Murphy was fall
| of practical eloquence, and the manner OF
the speaker denoted that he felt what be said.
| The dramatic talent Of the School was bso't
| into ful! play, nor was comedy neglected.
| There was suck . variety and each particular
| individual acted his part SO we'll th at it would
be presxmrtuoas 70 attempt a description and
unjust 70 express preference. Cambria
| county was well represented BY Smith Of
Johnstoxn, jacobs and Bowman Of f{LoTetto.
Porter Of Washington, Christy of Allegheny,
and E Rhey Of Ebenshsrg. Who is the last,
| bat if the talent he manifested on the 18th,
| is any evidence be will not be the lesst OF
that family of intellectual giants, whose fame
is not eonEued to Cambria county. He wa:
presented with premiums for successful com
petition in the following branches Rhetoric
Arithmetic, German, Algebra, English Gram
mar aud Book Keeping
The hospitality displayed BY the generou!
professors won for them golden opinions. ant
as the crowd dispersed. words of praise aBc
wishes for success fell from every lip.

Mr. ED1roR Being on . fishing ezcur-
sion last week, our party happened to drop in-
to the hosse of Jacob Mack. Esq., where was
set before us one of the most magnificent din
ners that ever sstonished the admiring and
gratifed case Of hungry fishermen. Every
thing that an epicure could desire was there
in profusion, and presume. sir. it is almost
useless to state that full, entire and complete
justice was speedily and efectually done to the
"good tAings" before u>. state this fact
for the beae6t of ARCHAEOLOGICAL excuztioaists
who may happen to be in Mr.. hack's neigh
borhood about the hour of diRDer--it will pay
them to set their lines and give the old gen
tleman call, The trout fishing is splendid

ty, so take it all in all, there is no place in
the county where . pleasanter time can be
spent than round about old Jacobs. %

The Agricultural Fair.

The third annual exhibition of the Cambria
County Agricultural Society, as will be seen
by an announcement in our advertising col
umns. will be held in this place, on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, the 7th, sth and
9th DAYS of October next. 81 I bat it has betn
projected, is some evidence that the Society
is determined to effect the aims and objects of
its organization, and is withal in a fourishing
condition. IF We are to judge from the pub
lished arrangements, the assurance of the
officers, and the apparent favorableness of
the season, we may safely predict, that the
ond usefulness than either of its predecessors.
We do not, of course, say this in disparage-
ment to the fairs which have already been
held ip our county. On the contrary, We
were delighted with the successful result of
each. They were alike creditable to our Ag-
ricultural, Horticultural, Manufacturing and
Stock Growing interests. We hore thatthe
forthc oming exhibition may be more SO; and
with the past experience of the Society, judi
cious management. and hearty cooperation
of the Farmers and Mechanics of our county,
we have little doubt that our hope will be
realized. Rn1az3z
We have ever been an advocate and friend
of Agricultural Societies and Agricultural
Fairs. We believe they are well calculated
to benefit and advance good cause, and to
dignity and ennoble what is by too many
held in low esteem-the primitive, most use
full, and most independent occupation of man.
These annual fairs are at once social ingath-
! erings of the people, pleasant and profitable
to all. But they are especially SO to the farm
er. He meets with many from other portions
of the county who are embarked in an enter
prise in common with his own Each e1hib-
| its specimens which, under his culture, are
! the marvellous products of mother Garth S
bosom and gives to his fellow man the ben
eft of his experience and opinions. Thus
! knowledge is acquired, ambition awakened,
and spirit of emulation aroused which pla-
ces the farmer in a race of honorable compe.
titlon, improving his art, and eleyating his
condition. We hope, therefore. that that in
terest will be taken in the coming fair which
its Importance demands.
The annual address will be delivered by
William A. Stokes, Esq. of Greensburg.
We congratulate the Society as well upon its
taste as its success in securing the services
of an orator SO able and distinguished En-
dowed as he is with an intellect Of the highest
order, and himself being one of the best prac-
tical farmers in Western Pennsylvania, he il
just the man for the occasion. All who are
familiar with his character, (and their name
is legion will readily concede. that his effort
will be one of ability, beauty, and to Mt

The Capitol Dome. !.

The Washington States contradcts the ru-
NOR that the walls of the rotunda of the Cap
itol had been found insufficient to support the
new dome, and states upon the best authority
that there is no truth whatever in the rumor.
1t has the authority of Mr. Walter, the archi-
tect, for saying that no change has tsken
place in his =ewn-juegment, her in that of
Capt. Msigs' in, relation to this subject. and
that no practical demonstration has been made
from which any new conclusions are warran-
ted. 1t also states that the weight Of the new
dome will be less than that of the old one
The Union says this splendid monument Of
American genius is to2be of'cast iron and glass
124 feet in diameter at its columnar base and
rising above the main building to a height Of
over 200 feet; the apex consisting of mag
niicent lantern,a17 feet in diameter, and 50
feet high, surmounted bya bronze statue of
the Genius of Liberty, 16aa feet in height.
The foundation Of the dome is to be the cir
cular wall of the rotunda, carried up "a feet
above its interior cornice, and surrounded
above the reof Of the main building By an oc-
.agonal entablature and balcony. From cast
iron brackets embedded in this circular wall
are to rise double row of cast iron columns
to the height of q feet. This coionnade is
to be crowned by au entablature Of feet

mi-ellipsoidal, and 81 feet in height, with
ornamental windows at its base. This is to
be surmounted by the lantern and Statue of
Liberty. The dome is to be simply contin-
uation of the rotunda, and it's whole interior
viii be visible from the floor Of the rotunda
Above the cornice of the rotunda, on the in
terror of the foundation wall of the dome, will
appear continuous belt of sculpture, 800
feet in length, representing the history of
America. The dome is to be assembled by
spiral stairs between its outer and inner she'll
or its roof and ceiling There will occur frc-
quent landings or balconies, afording both ex-
ternal and internal views The present state
of the work on this structure is the fitting Of

his hobbies, he has been ironed moro securely,

being. lie has chains attached to both legs,

The reader can possibly form some idea of
his pain full situation, but language cannot full

And yet such is bis remarkable character, that
with but little over three weeks yet to live
with the fall knowledge that his body is to
swing upon the gallows. and then to fll q
murderer's grave-he can yet indulge in jests,
and frivolous conversation, An individual
who occupies the next cell, one night last
week tore off a portion of the plastering, for
the purpose of setting the lathing on fire.
This circumstance gave NJ Kim no little sat
isfaction. and when speaking OF the matter he
remarked that his next door neighbour was a
| good mechanic, and did not like to remain
idle. But as for himself although he loved
industry, he was at present bound to remain
in inactivity. He would work if he could
only get a chance, but his hands were tied;
and if he died for want of exercise the blame
should rest upon others than himself
