West Indies, lat twenty degrees North, the quantity of rain oomputed to have fallen annually is one hundred and twelve inches; at London, fifty-one degrees North lat, thirty-three inohes; while at St Petersburg, lat. fiftynine and one-half degrees North, it is only sixteen inehes. Hence we cannot fail to see and admire the wonderful beneficence of Divine wisdom, when we find that the greatest quantity of rain descends on those parts of the earth where it is most needed. The Temperate Zones are the most pleasant regions of the earth, and the only parts in which the four seasons of the year are known and distinctly marked. In the Torrid Zone, they have only the dry and rainy seasons. The dry season commences in the northern half of the Zone, about the end of September; and not a drop of rain again falls until the ensuing rainy season, which commences about the end of April and continues on the increase until June, when it pours down in torrents, without intermission, until the whole face of nature is changed. Brooks and rivulets, whioh were before dried up, swell into large rivers and overflow their banks, while the plains which were covered with dried grass become immense lakes. with those countries where it does not rain at all. In mountainous regions the clouds are borne along by the wind until they come in contact with tho mountains, when they are instantly condensed and precipitated immediately, sometimes in showers, but more frequently in torrents; hence the mountains are said to pierce the clouds; and, in fact, there are some mountains higher than the clouds, their general height being from one to five miles. and that we may thus "live and let live."

The uses of rain have as yet been entirely overlooked. Sad, indeed, would be our condition were we not blessed with rain. Our country would be like a desert, without grass or foliage. No beautiful landscape would spread itself out to our view; no tiny flower would open its petals to adorn the earth and charm the sight; and no gorgeous hues of the rainbow would meet the eye to speak of God's promise to man. It is only by being deprived of rain for a few sultry Summer weeks or months that we can fully appreciate this blessing. But when a grateful shower of rain does come to refresh the thirsty earth, is it not delightful to look out upon the face of nature and partake of the joy that seems to animate all living creatures ? But sometimes, even in our latitude, the rain falls in torrents. Why is this J God has not made a single thing in vain, and when these torrents have been absorbed by the earth they pass downward until thoy meet a stratum of rock, or hard olay, and continue to run along this stratum till they find an opening, or crevice, out of which they ooze as springs or rivulets.

They are quietly grazing with their young upon the plains when the flood bursts upon them, and they may be seen swimming on the surface, feeding upon the grass that floats along the water. In this state they are attacked by crocodiles and many of them doomed ; and those that are fortunate enough to escape are easily distinguished by the marks of the reptilo's teeth. But after a few months elapse, as in the time of Noah, the waters again subside, and the verdant plains again become like deserts; the grass is reduced to powder; the earth cracks by the heat of the parching sun; and the Alligators and large sejpents lie buried in the mud until the showers of April shall again awaken them from their lethargy.

It is no less than the discovery of the body of Moses (?) The workmen there under the orders of a son of Mr. -, removed the stones in a segment of the circle. At the baa* of the mound, and near the outside of the cirole, they found) three mounds of ofirth, about five feet high. On opening dneof these, they found a coffin, about six and a half feet long, resting on sleepers, (like a railroad track,) and other sleepers above it-p-it was made of a singlo log of oak, in perfect preservation. On opening the coffin they found a skeleton of a man, with arms crossed on his breast, and on his breast twelve copper rings, of about the thiokness of a quill, beat together, but not soldered. They were, probably from their size, need as bracelets. The coffin looks as if made of bog oak. The people of Newark say it it is the body of Moses, and the rings denote the twelve tribes of Isreal. In the centre of the mound they found a large flat stone, which being raised they found a well about fourteen feet deep, with water in it The other graves have not yet been opened, nor has the well been examined. The coffin, with the skeleton, has been sent into Newark. The bones of the skeleton are much broken. This Is not a hoax, as my informat is a Mr. , a lawyer, who has seen the. rings and part of the coffin. The coffin had not got into town when he left.

Then there are those humble, unpretending little springs, whose waters trickle from the hillside, contented with affording to man the purest and moat delioious beverage ever bestowed upon man by his great Creator from whom all blessings flow. V. PETERSEN, Fitfaton, Pa U. 4 A, PETERSEN, Soronton, Pa. Read before the Pitt*ton Teachers' Association Bnt I have not said a word about those countries where rain never falls; where a man may say, at the end of his lifetime, that he has never seen a drop of rain.— Countries, too, in the yery warmest regions of the earth, surrounded by deserts of burning sand, where the rays of the sun are scorchingly severe; for the dry, sandy plains heat the air to such a degree it absorbs all the moisture it receives, but precipitates none. It is surprising when we reflect that there are more than six millions square miles of the earth's surface in this condition; but even here the all wise Creator has not neglected the inhabitants of those seemingly forgotten countries, but as if to make up for this defect in nature, most graciously bestows upon them a plentiful supply of moisture in the form of dew, which is of the greatest importance in promoting the growth of vegetation.— It was formerly supposed that dew was preoipitated to the earth from the atmosphere in the same manner that rain is, only in mor«T minute particles; but as learning pnd science advanced what before appeared intricate and mysterious was now made plain and simple; for it has been proved that dew is caused by the previous cooling of the earth which radiates heat much more rapidly than the surrounding air. After sunset, therefore, the ground being colder than the atmosphere which is in contact with it, condenses and draws from the air all the vapor witji which it has been saturated during-the day. We may obsorve the Bame phenomenon by bringing a glass filled with cold water into a very warm room. Tho outside of the glass being colder than the air of the room, condenses the vapor in the air with which it comes in contact, and it becomes covered with moisture. It has also been observed, and the fact is worthy of our admiration, that in the same locality the deposition of dew is, generally speaking, in proportion to the necessity for it. For instance, on a clear Summer night, when dew is being deposited, a thermometer laid on the grass sinks sixteen to twenty degrees lower than one laid on a gravel walk beside it; hence we may infer that the grass would receive a large portion of dew, while little or none would be deposited on tho gravel walk, rocks, sand, &c.— The reason is obvious: The gravel and rocks do not radiate or give off their heat as fast as grass and vegetables, consequently they retain their heat and do not condense the vapor in the air. The Metropolitan Fire Inxurante Company. 108 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. July 21st, 1860. Rain, of itself, is wet enough, but rather a dry subject upon which to write—so the best way for me to succeed is to address you, as if you are children, and in the first place tell you, what perhaps you hare never hcqrd before, that rain comes from tho clouds. Rain is a collection of vapors, drawn from the earth by the heat of tho sun. This vapor, when it ascends into a cooler atmosphere, becomes condensed and heavier than the air, thin and ratified as it is, and consequently falls to tho ground in the form of rain; that is, in round drops or globules, for the small particles of which the Cloud is composed on being coolod adhere to each other, so that the ocntre of gravity of each drop is at an equal distance from every part of its surface and hence it must assumo the globular foray The quantity of rain and snow which falls in certain countries is ascertained by means of an instrument called a pluviameter, or rain gago. It consists of a tin cylindrical vessel, closed at the top by a funnel-hhapcd cover having an aperture in the centre, whioh admits the rain and protects it from evaporation.

Affairs in old Abington arc flourishing, as usual.— The hearty laugh and pleasant mien of the farmer and his lads, bespeak good health, good spirits, and good crops. Durthe week past, an abundance of excellent hay has been stored for home consumption, and winter market. Winter grain is good, and sftmmer crops bid fair for an an average yield. In the age of steady movement, the old and teditfhs routine of farm labor is fast becoming obsolete. Even in this once rough country, machines are now in successful operation for performing all the heavier work connected with the farm, the daily, and the shojp. Reapers, mowers, and threshers, are fast taking the place of the cradle, tho scytho, and the flail. Where once the busy, good-natured house-wife was wont to spend a precious merning hour in converting the frothy cream into butter, the dog, tho sheep, the bullock, or the horse, does it in half the time, and better at that.

By the number of inches of rain that falls during a certain period is meant the depth which it would acquire on a square inch of the earth's surfactfj supposing none to be absorbed by the ground, or evaporated by the sun. In some countries, as all are aware, rain is more abundant than in others. For instance, in the Torrid Zone where the heat is more intense the quantity of vapor arising from the earth is proportionally greater, and as we should expect the rain falls in like proportion. Although the quantity of rain in warm regions is greater than in cold, yet the number of rainy days are less; just as it is with us in Summer. The mean quantity of water which falls in Summer is much greater than in Winter, yet in Winter the number of wet days are more numerous. The greatest fall of rain is precipitated in the shortest time. Ninety-five inehes fell at the Equator in eighty days, while at St. Petersburg the yearly fall does not exceed sixteen.— In the Torrid Zone the rain drops often measure three-quarters of an inch in diam' eter, while in the Temperate they never oxeeed a few lines, and the j-ain then falls in such torrents that sixteen inehes have been oolleeted in the rain-gage in the space of twenty-four hours.

West Indies, lat twenty degrees North, the quantity of rain oomputed to have fallen annually is one hundred and twelve inches; at London, fifty-one degrees North lat, thirty-three inohes; while at St Petersburg, lat. fiftynine and one-half degrees North, it is only sixteen inehes. Hence we cannot fail to see and admire the wonderful beneficence of Divine wisdom, when we find that the greatest quantity of rain descends on those parts of the earth where it is most needed. The Temperate Zones are the most pleasant regions of the earth, and the only parts in which the four seasons of the year are known and distinctly marked. In the Torrid Zone, they have only the dry and rainy seasons. The dry season commences in the northern half of the Zone, about the end of September; and not a drop of rain again falls until the ensuing rainy season, which commences about the end of April and continues on the increase until June, when it pours down in torrents, without intermission, until the whole face of nature is changed. Brooks and rivulets, whioh were before dried up, swell into large rivers and overflow their banks, while the plains which were covered with dried grass become immense lakes. with those countries where it does not rain at all. In mountainous regions the clouds are borne along by the wind until they come in contact with tho mountains, when they are instantly condensed and precipitated immediately, sometimes in showers, but more frequently in torrents; hence the mountains are said to pierce the clouds; and, in fact, there are some mountains higher than the clouds, their general height being from one to five miles. and that we may thus "live and let live."

The uses of rain have as yet been entirely overlooked. Sad, indeed, would be our condition were we not blessed with rain. Our country would be like a desert, without grass or foliage. No beautiful landscape would spread itself out to our view; no tiny flower would open its petals to adorn the earth and charm the sight; and no gorgeous hues of the rainbow would meet the eye to speak of God's promise to man. It is only by being deprived of rain for a few sultry Summer weeks or months that we can fully appreciate this blessing. But when a grateful shower of rain does come to refresh the thirsty earth, is it not delightful to look out upon the face of nature and partake of the joy that seems to animate all living creatures ? But sometimes, even in our latitude, the rain falls in torrents. Why is this J God has not made a single thing in vain, and when these torrents have been absorbed by the earth they pass downward until thoy meet a stratum of rock, or hard olay, and continue to run along this stratum till they find an opening, or crevice, out of which they ooze as springs or rivulets.

In this state they are attacked by crocodiles and many of them doomed ; and those that are fortunate enough to escape are easily distinguished by the marks of the reptilo's teeth. But after a few months elapse, as in the time of Noah, the waters again subside, and the verdant plains again become like deserts; the grass is reduced to powder; the earth cracks by the heat of the parching sun; and the Alligators and large sejpents lie buried in the mud until the showers of April shall again awaken them from their lethargy.

It is no less than the discovery of the body of Moses (?) The workmen there under the orders of a son of Mr. -, removed the stones in a segment of the circle. At the baa* of the mound, and near the outside of the cirole, they found) three mounds of ofirth, about five feet high. On opening dneof these, they found a coffin, about six and a half feet long, resting on sleepers, (like a railroad track,) and other sleepers above it-p-it was made of a singlo log of oak, in perfect preservation. On opening the coffin they found a skeleton of a man, with arms crossed on his breast, and on his breast twelve copper rings, of about the thiokness of a quill, beat together, but not soldered. They were, probably from their size, need as bracelets. The coffin looks as if made of bog oak. The people of Newark say it it is the body of Moses, and the rings denote the twelve tribes of Isreal. In the centre of the mound they found a large flat stone, which being raised they found a well about fourteen feet deep, with water in it The other graves have not yet been opened, nor has the well been examined. The coffin, with the skeleton, has been sent into Newark. The bones of the skeleton are much broken. This Is not a hoax, as my informat is a Mr. , a lawyer, who has seen the. rings and part of the coffin. The coffin had not got into town when he left.

Then there are those humble, unpretending little springs, whose waters trickle from the hillside, contented with affording to man the purest and moat delioious beverage ever bestowed upon man by his great Creator from whom all blessings flow. V. PETERSEN, Fitfaton, Pa U. 4 A, PETERSEN, Soronton, Pa. Read before the Pitt*ton Teachers' Association Bnt I have not said a word about those countries where rain never falls; where a man may say, at the end of his lifetime, that he has never seen a drop of rain.— Countries, too, in the yery warmest regions of the earth, surrounded by deserts of burning sand, where the rays of the sun are scorchingly severe; for the dry, sandy plains heat the air to such a degree it absorbs all the moisture it receives, but precipitates none. It is surprising when we reflect that there are more than six millions square miles of the earth's surface in this condition; but even here the all wise Creator has not neglected the inhabitants of those seemingly forgotten countries, but as if to make up for this defect in nature, most graciously bestows upon them a plentiful supply of moisture in the form of dew, which is of the greatest importance in promoting the growth of vegetation.— It was formerly supposed that dew was preoipitated to the earth from the atmosphere in the same manner that rain is, only in mor«T minute particles; but as learning pnd science advanced what before appeared intricate and mysterious was now made plain and simple; for it has been proved that dew is caused by the previous cooling of the earth which radiates heat much more rapidly than the surrounding air. After sunset, therefore, the ground being colder than the atmosphere which is in contact with it, condenses and draws from the air all the vapor witji which it has been saturated during-the day. We may obsorve the Bame phenomenon by bringing a glass filled with cold water into a very warm room. Tho outside of the glass being colder than the air of the room, condenses the vapor in the air with which it comes in contact, and it becomes covered with moisture. It has also been observed, and the fact is worthy of our admiration, that in the same locality the deposition of dew is, generally speaking, in proportion to the necessity for it. For instance, on a clear Summer night, when dew is being deposited, a thermometer laid on the grass sinks sixteen to twenty degrees lower than one laid on a gravel walk beside it; hence we may infer that the grass would receive a large portion of dew, while little or none would be deposited on tho gravel walk, rocks, sand, &c.— The reason is obvious: The gravel and rocks do not radiate or give off their heat as fast as grass and vegetables, consequently they retain their heat and do not condense the vapor in the air. The Metropolitan Fire Inxurante Company. 108 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. July 21st, 1860. Rain, of itself, is wet enough, but rather a dry subject upon which to write—so the best way for me to succeed is to address you, as if you are children, and in the first place tell you, what perhaps you hare never hcqrd before, that rain comes from tho clouds. Rain is a collection of vapors, drawn from the earth by the heat of tho sun. This vapor, when it ascends into a cooler atmosphere, becomes condensed and heavier than the air, thin and ratified as it is, and consequently falls to tho ground in the form of rain; that is, in round drops or globules, for the small particles of which the Cloud is composed on being coolod adhere to each other, so that the ocntre of gravity of each drop is at an equal distance from every part of its surface and hence it must assumo the globular foray The quantity of rain and snow which falls in certain countries is ascertained by means of an instrument called a pluviameter, or rain gago. It consists of a tin cylindrical vessel, closed at the top by a funnel-hhapcd cover having an aperture in the centre, whioh admits the rain and protects it from evaporation.

Affairs in old Abington arc flourishing, as usual.— The hearty laugh and pleasant mien of the farmer and his lads, bespeak good health, good spirits, and good crops. Durthe week past, an abundance of excellent hay has been stored for home consumption, and winter market. Winter grain is good, and sftmmer crops bid fair for an an average yield. In the age of steady movement, the old and teditfhs routine of farm labor is fast becoming obsolete. Even in this once rough country, machines are now in successful operation for performing all the heavier work connected with the farm, the daily, and the shojp. Reapers, mowers, and threshers, are fast taking the place of the cradle, tho scytho, and the flail. Where once the busy, good-natured house-wife was wont to spend a precious merning hour in converting the frothy cream into butter, the dog, tho sheep, the bullock, or the horse, does it in half the time, and better at that. I might speak more in extentio of recent improvements in this connection, It is both amusing and instructive to visit the farms of some of our thriving, and ingenius citizens, and observe the fruits of Yankee skill there displayed.

By the number of inches of rain that falls during a certain period is meant the depth which it would acquire on a square inch of the earth's surfactfj supposing none to be absorbed by the ground, or evaporated by the sun. In some countries, as all are aware, rain is more abundant than in others. For instance, in the Torrid Zone where the heat is more intense the quantity of vapor arising from the earth is proportionally greater, and as we should expect the rain falls in like proportion. Although the quantity of rain in warm regions is greater than in cold, yet the number of rainy days are less; just as it is with us in Summer. The mean quantity of water which falls in Summer is much greater than in Winter, yet in Winter the number of wet days are more numerous. The greatest fall of rain is precipitated in the shortest time. Ninety-five inehes fell at the Equator in eighty days, while at St. Petersburg the yearly fall does not exceed sixteen.— In the Torrid Zone the rain drops often measure three-quarters of an inch in diam' eter, while in the Temperate they never oxeeed a few lines, and the j-ain then falls in such torrents that sixteen inehes have been oolleeted in the rain-gage in the space of twenty-four hours.

Dr. Nott, of Union College, observes, that he can always tell the young men in oollege who are to make their mark in the world, if he ean only see them return from a visit to the College Library, which is only open once a week. If, says he, "I saw a man leaving the library with five or six books under his arm, I would say to myself, there goes a mental glutton, he will read, mark, bat not inwardly digest, and the consequence is, he is very likely to have 1 mental dyspepsia; the mind endeavoring to acquire too much, strains itself and becomes weakened." On the other hand, he says, "If I see a young student taking but a small book from the library, and that he does not return there for some time, I am satisfied tbat4 be will saturate his mind with the intellect of his author, and not only gain all the knowledge in the book, but sharpen hia perception and invigorate every faculty. and Brooklyn, worth at least (700,- 000, bearing 7 per cent, interest, - (300,000 00 Loans on Stocks, payable on demand, (market value or securities) (31,- 139, bearing 7 per cent, interest, - - 23.000 00 Cash, balance in bank and on hand, 7,981 72 Premiums, due and uncollected, 0,453 10 Interest, accrued, 3,102 28 Investments, in Brooklyn City Bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest, 10,000 00 " The long-promised millennial day, which we hare no doubt is to be brought out through the ministration of " C8.

Not; very high to be sure; but you are aware Mr. Editor that there is danger of becoming over-iealoua in any cause, however commondable it may appear. A good Republican Club has, however, been organited, based on sound principles, with honest, energetic, and persevering officers at its head, and if I mistake not, Abington will send up a majority this fall, for free-labor, a protective tariff, and equal rights, that will eclipse eyen her efforts in years past. The voice of the people is:—We want an honett man to guide the ship of State; one who will deD spiso, instead of encourage that contemptible meanness, petty despotism, and despicable treaohery, that secured the elcotion of " Ten Gent Jim," and that has characterised every act of his black administration.
