MoRGAHTowN School ExERcIsEs.-On last
Saturday afternoon and evening an exhibi-
tion was given 10 an august assemblage of
people by this school-under charge Of Miss
Nj. A. L., of poetical notoriety-in the Grove
neal the Irordale Company's Furnace, which
was rather creditable TO both teacher and
scholars. Here a handsome stand, with
seats in front, had been constructed in
campmeeiing style. Every thing was prop
erly arranged for out door exercises of a
scholastic order. On each side OF the seats
were stretched TO the breeze very hand.
some flag. The evening exercises consist
ed chiefly Of singing and defamation, clos
ing with an address from the School Miss,
which abounded in eloquence and patriot
ism.
HowER's CoRNET BAND, which had been
employed for the occasion, was in attend
ance, and repeatedly enlivened the hours
with their stirring strains.
Upon the whole, everything passed of
tolerably smooth, considering the large num-
Der of people in attendance; and all retired
well pleased with The Morgantown School
Exercises.

Er0uee--EOPpign News


The following is an extract from a Lon.
don paper, dated Paris, Thursday evening,
June 23d. Aswar is raging rather fearful
ly in the "old county, such extracts as the
one below may be of interest 10 our readers.
II says -
THE bloody conflict at Perugia between
the Pope's Swiss guards and the people, is
considered in government circles as de-
plorabIe event. 1t no doubt tends greatly
10 increase the difficulty of the task which
the French Emperor has undertaken of
preserving, the temporal dominion of the
Pope while emancipating Italy from the
Austrian yoke. The Papal forces are con-
iessedly it adequate to repress the national
movement which has broken out in many
large towns of the States of the Church.
The policy of selecting little mountainous
village like Perugia, where the population
is too small TO offer eaectual resistance, for
shedding blood in the name of Papal au-
tlority, may we'll be doubted. The event
is likely to double the intensity of the revo.
lutionary movement in Bologna, and TO ex-
cite insurrection in all the disaffected parts
of the Papal States that have hitherto re.
NAMED tranquil The Romans, rightly or
wrongly, consider themselves included in
the Emperor Napoleon's Milan proclama-
tion, addressed to the italian people, and
claim the benefit of his promise, that the
French army shall not interfere with the
manifestation of their Legitimate wishes
Unless, however, the Swiss hirelings, now
masters of Perugia, shall be supplied by
French troops, nothing is more likely than
that they will speedily be driven out by
all overwhelming national force.
"The Pays in answer TO the various cor.
respondents which persist in affirming that
King Victor Emmanuel is disposed TO &C.
cept the dictatorship which has been offer
ed him by certain towns in the Roman
States, asserts that all these rumors are
completely false, and that the King has re.
fused any sort of dictatorship, whether
PROVISIONAL or otherwise. The fact that
Prussia is making serious diplomatic ef-
fort 10 put an end 10 the war seems 10 be
every day regarded as more and more cer-
tain. But great astonishment is felt at the
positive assertion of the independence that
the territorial limits established by the trea.
Ties of 1915 are TO be proposed as the bases
of the announcement. The impossibility
that Prussia can for a moment seriously
suppose that France will listen 10 any such
proposition, gives some coun,enance TO all
but the incredible assertions of certain Ger.
man journals that war with France is
really intended by Germany.

ALL men are aspiranls; but the aspirations
oi all men Go not run in :he same direction.
Some men aim at, and struggle for, high
positions, while others follow a common
course, and appear TO be content with their
lot. Men who are continually striving for
place and power very seldom accomplish
their objects; and when they are fortunate
enough to gain their ends, nine times out Of
len, they only make themselves miserable,
and appear ridiculous in the eyes of the
public. They are of no service 10 The COM
munity, for what they do is invariably done
wrong,-creating strife and dissatisfaction
among the better class Of intelligent people.
Men who are chosen to make our laws and
to enforce them, should not be of this char
acter, but of good sound judgment and log
ical reasoning, possessing independence
enough 10 have a mind of their own. In
the selection of jurors 10 sit in the courts of
justice, this should be observed, and men
not stumbling blocks chosen.

The Presidential Election in 1860.

Should Kansas be admitted as State,
the coming session of Congress, the aggre-
gate Electoriai votuti the Union in 1860,
will be 306-making l54 necessary TO an
election.
Of these BOG votes, there will be 1856
from the Free States, and 100 from the slave
holding States.
That the latter will be cast for the candi-
date nominated by the Democratic National
Convention, whoever he may be, may be
regarded as reasonably certain; and, in that
case, it will require but 81 votes from the
Northern States, 10 secure his election -
These, and more, we think, are certain 10

We look with confidence 10 such a result,
and shall labor for it. True it is, indica-
tions occasionally present themselves that
are somewhat discouraging. Demagogism
and sectlonalism inspire some men claim
ing TO be national and constitutional in their

THE CRors.-A gentleman just returned
from a trip 10 Northern and Central New
Hampshire, informs the Boston 7raveler,
that the prospects for good crops this sea-
son are very encouraging. The hay crop,
particularly, will be unusually heavy. The
same encouragement is given in relation 10
the wheat, corn and potato crop. The
Cincinnati Gazette says Ohio will have a
good wheat crop this year, in the Miami
country the harvest is nearly completed, ,and
the grain is thick and plump, and promises
10 produce much better quality of flour
than for several years past Corn is rather
backward, but is in very good condition.
The appearances are now in favor of hea.
Wy crop. A correspondent of the Albany
Euening Journal writes under date of July
7th, that he has passed through portions of
Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne, Ontario
and Monroe counties. The winter wheat
looks good and is free from the ravages of
the insect. 1t is already about ripe for the
harvest. New York has more wheat than
for five years past. Spring wheat has been
touched by weevil-so has barley. The
latter is everywhere light.

CATTAwIssA AND TowANDA RAILROAD. -
Engineers are now engaged in locating The
Cattawissa and Towanda Railroad-the char
ter of the road having been renewed by the
last Legislature. That portion Of the road
upon which they are now engaged is be-
tween Towanda and Bloomsburg, on the
Lackawanna road The proposed Cata.
wissa and Towanda road is TO commence
at Rupert, or Bloomsburg, and inersect the
New York and Erie Railroad at Wavery,
passing through Sullivan near this county.

be surmounted on the route is 10 get prop

THE Boston Post, the leading Democratic
Journal in Mass, compliments very highly
the recent address of our Democratic State
Committee, both on account of its sound
political views and doctrines, and the abili.
ty with which they are presented. After
giving several extracts, it thus concludes its
remarks
"The citations we have made from this
address speak for themselves, and are speci.
mems OF lis logic aud precision. 1t is a calm
appeal to the reason and must command
the confidence Of the candid and intelligent.
Victory, with such principles, will be VIC
tory worth having; and the Democracy OF
the whole country will gladly welcome a
triumph of their cause in the old Keystone
State as the triumph of the old fashioned
Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson"

Belle Britain" writes from Paris, in
March last, that crinolne is subsding.-
The haut ton of Paris have never worn
hoops of such vast rolundity as we have
seen in New York and without being too
curious on the subject, have come TO the
conclusion that the Partisan skirt, as now
worn, is made of some more flexible mate
rial than steel. At ct tevents, it yields more
easily and gracefully in crowd. The bon
nets are becoming larger, and the greiseties
(who wear caps oniy) are the only bear
headed people in the streets of Paris
Trailing dresses are worn only in carriages
and drawing rooms, and in cut and color
they are more subdued than in Broadway.

Such is the feeling and sentiment of the
Opposition party, generally, North and
South, and they act it out whenever and
wherever they have the power. They have
done SO in Massachusetts, by their "two
year amendment TO the Constitution OF
that State, and they attempted it in New

The Democracy OF Maine.

Attempts have been made by the Press
and other disorganizing and Opposition jonr-
mails, 10 create public impression that the
action of the recent Democratic State Con.
veniou in Maine, was hostile 10 the Ma
tonal Democracy and President Buchan-
ans Administration. A similar course
was pursued in relation to the Vermont
Convention, ,and for time it was not without
effect, but subsequent and more reliable in
formation, soon disabused the public mind
OF the error, and ii is now known tina; the
Vermont delegates 10 the National Conven-
ticn are friends and supporters of the Nation
al administration, and entirely uncommitted
on the subject of the next Presidency. And
the same may be said of Maine. The Belfast
journal, prominent and influential Demo-
cratic paper of that State, in an article on
''lhe State Convention" dwells at some
length on The proceedings of that body. 1t
says that Mr.. Smith, the nominee for Co
vernon, was known as the earnest and de-
cided friend and supporter of President Blu.
chanan, and then adds Il: There is nothing
in the resolutions inconsistent with Mr.. Blu.
chanan's letter of acceptance, his SiliInan
letter, The Cincinnati Platform, or the gen.
orally received doctrines of the Democratic
party, that the people of the territory can
only abolish or prohibit slavery when they
form Constitution. 1t is well known that
a contrary opinion would have been reject
ed by the Committee, and if it had been, ii
would have been rejected by the Conven-
ton, as the denomination of Mr.. Smith
over his squalter sovereignty competitor
conclusively proves"
The fact is, the resolutions were, as they
clearly indicate on their face, the result oil
compromise, with view to entire union of
the party in the State compaign and it is
even more evident that the power of the
Convention was in the hands Of the Nation
al Democrats.

THE late terrific storm that passed over
this county destroyed, at some places, near
ly whole apple orchards, by uprooling the
trees. Had it not been that the storm oc-
cured at dry time all the trees would have
met the same fate. Barns were unroofed,
school-houses turned over, and fences dis
trlbuted promiscuously about the fields,
giving everything calamitous appearance.
Such storm as this has not been witnessed
IN this section for long time before. 1t
was not accompanied by much rain, but
with vivid lightning, fierce laundering,
and powerful wind.
