A Remarkable ssody OF water.

From an Oregon paper take tho following
relative to remarkable body of water known
to exist in the Cascade range of mountains !:
"l'hls lake rivals the famous valley of S.n-
bad the sailor. 1t is thought to average two
thousand feet down to the water, nll round

IDLENEss. Tho greatest moral pest in the
world is idlcrs. They do nothing, and they
desire no one else to do anything. If ever
the day comes in this world when there will
be no idlers, neither in church nor state, this
world would look more like heaven than it
now resembles paradise.

ed for that purpose.
AT an early hour in the afternoon, dense
clouds looming up in the South and West,
gave warning of an approaching storm, and
filled the road with hundreds, bound for
home, while hundreds more needless of
the warning, remained on the grounds, or
started too late and got thoroughly drench-
ed by one of the heaviest thunderstorms of
the season.
We have heard but few comments on the

that part of the day was about three paper

Life Insurance. class of insurance
is now so well understood and appreciated
that no argument is needed upon either
of those subjects. But a very important
question is, "What is the best Company ?"
In answer TO this, we can safely refer to
the continental Life Insurance Com
pany'' of New York.
The "Continental'' probably has larger
amount of Insurance in this vicinity than
any other Company This is partly ON ac-
count of the known safety of the Company,
and partly owing to the popularity of the
General Agent for this State, J. f. EATON,
Esq, whose Office is in College Block, at
Harrisburg.
Persons wanting Life Insurance to any
amount should open a correspondence with
Mr.. Eaton upon the subject.

DUNCANNoN, July a, 1871.
THE Fourth reached here last evening,
ard kept up dire confusion during the
whole night, with fireworks, guns, pistols,
small cannon, and bacchanalian revelry I;
those who were fortunate enough to be
asleep were aroused at an early hour this
morning by an increased tumult caused by
the appearance in the streets of the most
ludicrous looking set of fantastics that ever
were seen any where.
At o'clock a. M, column of 400 men,
consisting of Odd-Fellows, Odd-Fellows'
Encampment, Junior and Senior Mechail-
les, Red Men and Knights of Pythias, was
formed, and headed by the Duncannon
Band, paraded the principal streets, Marsh
aled by DR.. Joseph Swartz, with DR.. II. l..
Johnston and Mr.. @. II. HIGHLANDER as aids.
Leaving town by Cumberland street, they
marched out the Juniata Creek road a mile
and half, to Steel's woods, where ] arge
number of people had already congregated.
The speakers stand, erected for the occa-
sion, was occupied by Revs. Graham, Rod
rock, Thompson, Messrs. Isaac G.. Black,
and Socrates Green. After prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Graham, Mr.. Green read the Declare
tion Of Independence, and the Rev. Rod
rock and Mr.. Isaac G. Black, made eloquent
and appropriate speeches. Then came a
time of eating, drinking and general merry
