NEW sETTLEMENr OF nAMMoNroN

This thriving place was started by Landis
and Byrnes, about three years ago, and has
since arisen to a large population, and has be-
come one of the most prosperous settlements
IN the country. 1t is said that hard times
have not yet been known there. These gen-
telmen divided up some thousands of acres of
excellent land, laid the same out into broad
avenues and roads, and then directed their en-
orgies to procuring sale for it amongst intelli-
gent and thrifty people of means. The place
possessing one OF the most delightful climates
in the world, an excellent soil easy of culture.
and the best market in the Union. being only
thirty miles south east Of Philadelphia, by
railroad, at once recommends itself to this
class Of people. They pursued the wise pol-
icy Of refusing to sell the land to spectators
bur scllins only to those who would agree to
improve within a reasonable time, the result
has been that town and improved rural Set
Element has risen up as If by magic, and bread
avenues extend themselves FOR miles, lined
with neat and charming cottages, and planted
with yong shade trees Of different varieties -
Within the past three years over five hundred
handsome buildings have been constructed.
amongst which are two schools and an ednca-
tional institute upon a collegiate principle,
fine stores, mills, and other business improve.
ments
The most marked feature Of the place how
ever, is the number Of vineyards numerous
grape growers from the West and other sec
tons. have located here in consequence Of the
adaptation OF the soil to the vine. and it is
estimated that enough land has already been
set out in vines to make this one OF the great
est wine producing districts in the Union
Numerous pear, peach, plum and apple or
chards have also been set out, whilst the Gull
tivation Of blackberries is carried on extern
sivcly
Many settlers adopt this place as their
home IN consequence Of the salubrity and
health Of the climate. Those afflicted with
asthma, rheumatism, phthisic and pulmonary
affections have been known TO be cured, and
all have been benefited The increase Of
weight amongst strangers going there is often
such as TO surprise them.
Another important feature is the temper
ance and morality Of the place. Though at
tempts have, of course been made to intro
duco groggcrlcs, yet the influence of the foun-
ders of the place, and the settlers have pre-
vented any one obtaining license to sell IL
quor, and the train of evil usually following
the opening OF groggeries has thus far been
kept out.
We understand that the crops thereof
wheat. oats, grass, corn and putaioes--are
luxuriant in the highest degree Wo think
il would be better for all persons to visit this
place before going to the far West. away from
home and friends. There can be no doubt of
Tho facts Of the case, when a mere visit will
determine them. In another column an adj.
vertisement, giving a full account of this set
Element, will be found.-From The CONNER.

"SwEAR HIM AND LET HIM Go."-The

by the authorities, in reference to rebels
found committing depredations, is in the shape
Of a story, which is told, we believe by Gov

the soldiers in General Cox's camp, down in
Kanawaa, recently caught large rattlesnake.
The snake manifested most mschievous dis
position, swapping and thrusting out its fork
ed tongue at all who came near it. The boys
at last got tired Of the reptile, and as nobody
wanted such dangerous companion. the
question arose, ''what shall VIC do with him =

THREE RINGS AROUND SATUnN.-M. lie
Ncrricr has lately written letter to Marshal
valiant on the present theories Of the solar
system. He concludes that there are three
rings Of matter revolving round Ike sun; one
between the sun and Mercury, the second
near the earth, including moteoric and shoot
ing stars. and the third between Mars and
Jupiter. consisting Of small planets. The
rings Of asteroids between the sun and Mer-
curry has total mass about equal to that OF
Mercury. The ring which supplies our aero
lites and shooting stars has total mass Of
not more than tenth part Of the earth.---
The total mass Of the small planets between
Mars and Jupiter is greater than one-third
that Of the earth.

A nrA1ir1rliI. PROVISION.

By the wisdom of God the Creator Of the
Universe, water is made an exception to the
law which governs all bodies when contracted
by cold. Other bodies continue to contract
a. long As the cold increases. Water does
the same till it reaches the temperature OF
about eight degrees above the freezing point
when it is at its greatest density, and hence
its greatest weight. Additional degrees OF
cold expand 1t. and thus it becomes lighter.
Were this not the case. the specific gravity
Of water would continue to increase, until 1t
arrived at the freezing point; and ice thus
being heavier than tho surrounding water.
would sink as fast as formed. All bodies Of
water as a necessary consequence, would freeze
solid from the bottom to the top. and the heat
Of our summers would never suffice TO melt
them. In short. these beautiful and fertile
regions now tccming with mineral and agri-
cultural wealth. would present but the solita-
ry aspect Of the Mer de Glaee, or the eternal
SHOWS Of the Arctic regions.
In this phenomenon, so common through
out the world, what Christian mind can fail
to trace the evident workings Of Fathers
hand, thus providing in so beautiful manner
for the comfort and happiness Of his sentient
creation: while to the atheist. whose mind is
in any degree open to conviction, this, and
ten thousand analogous instances observable
in the world Of nature, indicating design IN
their creaton-and hence an intelligent Au-
thor--combine 10 form an argument for the
existence Of God. at once irrofutablo and I'M
answerabe. Truly we may exclaim. with the
golden-mouthcd singer of Israel. " The hoav-
ems declare the glory Of God, and the iifmu-
ment sho'oeh his handiwork. american Mes.
