The Approaching Fourth of Juiy.

An exchange has suggestion for
for the celebration of our great Ma
tional Festival. Independence Day
has been for lifetime been our great
holiday, but this year it will have a
solennity of emphasis and will be cell
ebrated with ferVor of patriotic enthu-
siasm, such as has never yet been
known. Our contemporary suggests
that, in every city and county, where
Treason does not forbid and forcibly
prevent it, whether in the North or
the South, t. East and the West,
the entire population who are resolv-
ed to stand by the Union and die I'M
der the stars and stripes" shall be
gathered for such celebration as our
fathers loved, and that, in addition
to the usual exercises, the old Flag
shall be RAISED. with all the honors,
patriotic contribution taken up for
the benefit of our citizen soldiery and
their needy families the people march
ing by the collection in procession,
and every child who can give no more
throwing in half dime-and that we
gather around the flag and have the
oath of fidelity to the Constitution
and the Union solemnly administered
and reverently taken by the whole con-
gregation.
Ifthere be other obseryences better
calculated to impress on the general
mind the greatness of the peril which
now hangs over the country, and the
magnitude Of the sacr fees required
to meet and overcome that peril,
let these be added or substituted
but let there be a celebration in every
town. such as has not been wit
messed for forty years and may never
again be. Let the preparations be
fitfnlly made, aud the Fourth of July,
1861, will be remembered with patriot
ic affection and pride for the next half
! century.

Printers Notices.

Among the most amusing portions
of the columns of every paper are
are those notices which occasionally APP
pear at the head, in most prominent
and conspicuous position, requesting
the subscribers of said paper TO pay
up their subscriptions The tone of
these duns present marked contrast
to the lacanic and decided style OF
those which tradesmen and others put
forth in the advertising columns, and
in which they briefly but explicitly IN
form their debtors, that unless their
accounts are speedily adjuS ed, they
will lie put into the hands Of m officer
for collection. The printer on the
contrary, speaks in most modest and
deprecatory manner, as if he were in
danger of committing a mortal sin by
reminding his subscribers that some
thing more is nee esscry to the patron
age of a paper than any name and an
unredeemed promise to pay Such is
generally the character of his first
notices. Bat, finding that these do
not succeed, and dicovering that, Of
those indebted to him, probably nine
ty-nine out of hundred amuse them
selves with his greeneess in expecting
to collect cash with few soft words.
the printer waxeth wroth and issues
another pronunciamento fnll of fire
and fury. He tells his obdurate deb.
tors that printers cannot live on air.;
that the paper maker must be paid
type, ink, fuel, lights, rents, &C., cost
money-so does the printers daily
bread-and finally he exclaims in
tone thst he expects will rend the
very rocks, We want money and
must have it," But, unfortunate
and miserable mortal he is a printer,
and printers are the last men in the
world to resort to compulsory meas
nres. It is the general impression
that their " bark is worse than their
bite" so they lose thousands where
other men would not lose hundreds -
We would like to see an accurate state
ment of the losses sustained by news
paper establishments from the neglect
and procrastinatioG of their patrons.
We think we may safely conjecture
thai no other employment or profession
suffers so much loss.
Could those who thonghtlessly defer
or altogether omit to pay their news
paper accounts reflect upon the troub-
lie, difficulty, aud sometimes ruin, that
occasions, they would learn
to observe Justice, punctuality and
system, as strictly with newspaper
establishments asSwith merchants and

The Roigv of Van F0ssen.

A correspondent of the Beacon
writing from Stockton says, that the
body of John Van Fossen, who was
drowned in the Delaware River near
Point Pleasant some time in Febru-
airy last, was found yesterday afternoon
in the D. & r. Canal Feeder near
Bulls Island The body was dug out
of the bottom of the Feeder by a
scoop of the mud machine which was
W )rking at that place. D B. Boss,
Esq, Of this place, was Immediately
called on but as the fact of his acct
dental death was known to all and the
Identification Of the body by his cloth
ing and certain things in his pockets,
complete, no inquest was held.

Military Drill.

The organization Of home companies
for military drill shonld be encouraged
everywhere. Two or three companies
are now in successful operation in this
place, and our young men are perfect
ing themselves in the science of war.
In times like the present every able
bodied man should familiarize himself
with military tactics Let all who are
able to bear arms attach themselves to
some military organization and strive
to acquire as much knowledge on the
subject as possible The services of
the tay-at- home patriots may not be
required Immediately. but the future
looks dark. and we should no d our
selves in readiness, so that when called
upon we will be ready to enter upon
active service, not as raw recruits, but
as we'll drilled soldiers.

Success in Business.

When you find a man doing more
business than you are, look at the
advertisements in the newspapers. -
The business man who puts his sign
in the newspapers. does much wiser
thing than when he fastens ii over his
store, and who would think of neglect
ing that p? The man who advertises,
informs the public that he wants trade,
and his card in the newspapers is an
invitation to customers to come and
buy. Where one person reads sign
in the street, five hundred reads it in
newspapers No matter how we'll a
business man is known, he can always
pick mp new customers, if he will take
the pains to let them know where he is
and what he has to sell No man can af
ford not to advert Sc for by neglect
ing the means of securing trade he
looses tbs best part of his profits.

Meeting Trouble Half Way.

Some very prudent and thoughtful
persons are forever exercising them
selves in preparing for the worst pos
sible contingencies, even to the prac
ticing of strangulation in basin of
water, in order the better to endure
drowning They pride themselves
upon the great forethought which en-
ables them to fore see evils and disas-
tiers which most probably will never
come, and fancy they are prepared in
a superior manner to meet them
While their minds are occupied with
these grand achievements over imagin-
airy difficulties, they are totally unpre-
pared to meet and overcome the minor
troubles and trials of present life. We
sometimes hear one glowingly and ex-
ultingly tell how fearlessly he could
meet his great enemy, the King of
Terrors, while he is, alas, powerless in
the contest With the little imps which
daily beset his path in the form of
earthly passions, prejudices, cares,
disappointment and vexations. In
precisely the same manner our brave
volunteers with burning enthusiasm are
ready to face danger and death in be-
half of their beloved land, but suffer
actually from the self denials, duties,
restraints, and daily discipline of mil
tary life For these they were unpre-
pared, and they are, to many, calling
in the extreme, and at times almost
insupportable. But not to those brave
fellows who are fast learning in the
most practical manner the lesson we
speak of are our moralizings address
ed. We who are at home, removed
from the excitement which immedi-
ate contact with the events of the |
times must no doubt enhance, have
our share in the burden of the day
our part to perform.
Without launching into fruitless
specuiations as to whether the future
is to be prosperous or otherwise, let
MS employ the present in the perform
ance of those duties which circum-
stances seem to point out as the best |
for rs and our country. If the nature
of the times is such that we must eX-
ercise self denial instead of luxuria-
ting in extravagant enioyments as of
old, let Us bring our minds to our lot,
and with 1.-THE IF our former indul-
gences we may be happy in the con,
seriousness of doing right
