Sept 9. BIZUNER & MOOIIE. S ild)ClilNG ACCIDENTS. Y - 11-NY KILLED .VND A LAILGE-NUM.- Over two hundred :weddigs front kick ing and running away of horses occurred during the past year, in Lancaster county alone nearly all of which resulted in inju ring the drivers, killing sonic, maiming - :Ind wounding odium, and in most cases, breaking - coatly carriages and hurting the horses. Of the above, nine-tenths were tome family horses. The safety bridle will put an end to all such needless .techlents, and with. the Safety• Lines the soeeclor every horse is easily much increased. At the special meeting of the Saddlers of Lancaster city, Nov. i 7, 18n5, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Wit Ettil.ts, The usefulness, power and safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from one thousand to fifteen hundred persons to their entire satisfaction; and since it was proven at the - ..‘Eillersvil le horse exhibition on four of the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible for a horse either to kick or runaway; therefore 1ie..0l red, That we the Saddlers of Lan caster einuay, fa., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines aecconplish :ill and even more. than is 016111 N -I by the patentee, in preventing horses from kicking and mu lling away. that ill view' of the above facts we deem it our legitim a te duty, both indi vidually and. eollectively, to exert all hon orable menus to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we in a very great measure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. Resolved, That hereafter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual RigLts is :35 each; County Rights, from 100.00 to 500.01) accor ding to population—those containing large cities excepted, No other investment before the public presents such inducements of making money. In every county there are at least twenty townships, mid in each township at least oho - hundred persons who drive horses—which at IP, o dollars tbr an indi vidual right will amount to $5l/0 per town ship, and ten thousand dollars ($1.0,000) tir each county at the rate of twenty townships at live hundred dollars each I I have not the least doubt but that amount of money can be made out of a county with proper business tact and energy. The price of counties is so small as to place the invest ment in the hands of every one, for few aro so poor as to be unable to raise ono hun dred dollars. .another feature about this invention is that the proprietor of tli” territory need not manufacture the bridles and lines as the ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a Safety. The lines only require to be made to order, and these ,can be made by any saddler for a: trifle more than the ordinary lines. Ilence, unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold. No man need wish for a greater fortune than right of a State. To show the con& deuce the, patentee has in his invention,he offers to pay 1,000 dollars for any horse that can. either, hick or run away when t'Utider, , the inthictiec 'ef. the Safety; Rrid le h.itcrLincs. - For' County' and 'State rights address for circular, and for Individual Rights, enclose fl7O dollars to S.

But give to one the liquid pure, That trickle down the side Of hills so green, and mingles with The river broad and wide. 'Tis water from the cooling spring That gives renewing strength; 'Tis water from the wells above That gives to life good length. Then fill my goblet to brim With water pure-nntPhright, 'Tis richer, better far than wine And gives a clearer light. God, in his wisdom, brightand good, Intended man should be From all base passions dark and wild And sinful habits free: The wino that sparkles in the cup And looks so tempting bright, Will fire the brain and fill the heart With thoughts as black as night. 'Twill nerve the murder's arm to strike Toe guilty, fearful blow; 'Twill inako the earth a living hell, Of wickedness and woo; 'TAM drive from home all peace, content, And bring disorder dire; 'Twill make sweet Heaven further And endless misery nigher, Ab, do not touch the tempting bowl, But fill your crystal cup With water bright, and pure, and clear, .1u fl hold the goblet up; W ell pledge to night to Temperauco With liquid hum above; And angels bright will gladly smile In that bright aorta of love.

In the month of August, 1563, soon after our hero h.nl returned from school, he made arrangements to have, a a weeks gunning sp )rt among the CAtoe tin hills of Western Maryland, and iu order to secure time" he invited two of his old school utte:3 to accompany him, and accordingly set to work making preparation fur the occasion. A week had nearly passed before harry and Charles Connor were ready to go ; this gave young Clark more time to complete his arrangements, and in due season all things were completed for the trip to the hunting grounds among the forests and tangled underbrush of the Western Mary land 111114. It was a very pleasant morning the trio selected to start upon their excur sion from the pretty little village of lI and many were the congratu lations they received front their old play mates and friends who had gathered around to wish them a pleasant season, and say Farewell. But not one imagined it was the lust farewell to that bright eyed and jovial young fellow Harry Connor, as it eventually proved to be. After a day and a half of disagreeable travel iu cue of those rickety old stages, over a red.dust and rugged road, they arrived at E , near the bor der of the State of Pennsylvania, and "put up" for the night. Early the next morning they made preparations for a hunt through the mountains beyond St. Mary's College, and accordingly engaged a young man to pilot them. The day sown passed, and they had found but lit tie game, save a few pheasants, robins and squirrels. This sort of game did not suit Robert Clark, and he determin ed to go, the next morning to II from which place they could daily sally forth and "have a good time generally." The first day they reached their second I destination they were encouraged by the flattering accounts of excellent pigeon shooting among the hills, and no time was lost in arranging their equipments fur a trial. Taking a team in the town they soon found themselves nearing the I desired spot ; true to representation they found the woods swanned with this de• licions bird and they seperated, going in different directions, in order to vie with each other in securing the greatest num ber. The day soon passed, and Robert Clark repaired, with his game to the spot where they had seperated in the morning, but found only his friend Charles had arrive I. An hour or more passed by and Harry hat not yet teturn erl—night was coining on rapidly and they had a long way to g.', a nd b e i ng but very little acquainted with the neigh borhood through which they wen; to pass, Robert and Charles bee.ame very uneasy, not only coneerninz the non ap pearance of their companion, hut also c 'r 0( 0 t .

"Where did you last see Harry ?" asked Robert Clark after a few moments pause as he drove along the dark and rutty way. "I saw him half an hour after we parted," answered Civics, "and he bad secured a number of pigeons, even More than myself." "Was the dog with him ?" "1 didstit notice..." "What direction did he take when you parted r asked Robert, apparently more concerned than the brother ofilarry "I thought he went in the direction you took—at least he heard the discharge of your gun, and started off." _ "I fear something serious has hap pened to him—he never acted in this way betbre," returned Robert, scarcely looking where he was driving. "Pshaw ! I hate to hear you talk in this way, Robert, nothing has happened to Harry, he has only lost his way, and is at this moment, perhaps beside some farmer's fireside 'cogitating' upon the events of the day, and wondering like ourselves, what has become of us." And thus the two continued on to the town, where they arrived about twelve o'clock, after a very disagreeable drive of over twenty miles ; having mistook their road and gone smite seven miles out of their way. Returning the team to the owner, and making ample apology for keeping it out s) late—they made their way to their room, only to spend a rest less and very unhappy night Early the next morning they returned to the spot they had left their companion the day before, and together, gin in hand, started on a search for their friend and brother. They concluded not to soperate, and accordingly.., kept close to 2. - •eth dr; diScll;gitig a gun in order to give their friend a signal, should they pass near hint. Nearly half the day had passed,and still they had seen no trace of their lost companion. Hours I passed by, and they were growing dis heartened,wheu Robert stopped suddenly and said he heard the howl of Milo, the dog that had been last seen with Harry Connor. Again and again they heard the same faint howl—and concluded to go in the direction of the sound ; as they did so, it became more plain, until they were satisfied they had found the object of their search. They had proceeded but a mile and a half when they came upon the do,;, sit ting beside llarry's gun, and howling most pituously. They instituted an int im:l:edit:to L-earch, and a few rods from the spot where the gun lay they found the dead body of Harry Connor, cold and stiff. I will not describe the scene when Charles found the body of his brother—since it can better be imaz ined than described. They raised him, and doing so they noticed the very pc- euliar color of his face and hands Their first impression was that he had conic to his death by the accidental dis charge of his gun, but an examination , proved otherwise, and they were left to find out, if possible the manner of his untimely end. They removed him to a green sward, beneath an oak, and returned to collect his equipments, bat in doing so, Robert Clark stopped and exclaimed : "Good Heavens! I know the cause of poor Harry's death ! 17c , , I've found it out." "For the love of heaven I tell we I" exclaimed Uh:u•les COIIOI*, in a very ex-cited matiner. "Listen—listen, don't you. hear that little rattle before us there in that clump of weeds ?" asked Robert, at the same time moving backward a few MEM '•I do—what is it ?" inquired his friend, who had never heard the "flut ter" of a rattle snake in his life. "That is the rattle ola rattlesnake, the cause of your brother's death—step this way, and don't go too near it, or the reptile will strike at you." said Robert, turning around in order to get a chance to shoot it. But beton: he c.mid do su he heard his companion's scream, and beheld the poisonous reptile wound around his ankle; it haying struck at his leg and caught its poisonous fangs in the leg of his pautaloons, from which it had not been able to free itsef. •"fly God: Robert kill the thing— kill it—kill it!" screamed Charles, treut- [WHOLE NUMBER 1,906• bling with fear, without the least motion to kick it off. "Kick it off—kick it off!—are you. bitten ?" returned Robert—in a nervous manner, and at the same time making a move to the relief of his Companion. "Oh ! kill it, won't you, Robert ?" be' screamed again, apparently more excited than before. By this time Robert Clark bad suc ceeded in dealing the serpent a blow from the stick lie held in his hand, and broken its back. The blow loosened its hold on the wool pants, and it fell upon the ground, apparently as vicious as ever, and springing its rattle in a furious man ner. A few minutes later Robert suc ceeded in` shooting the reptile, and re turned to examine Charles' leg, in order to see if he had sustained harm. A speedy examinttion proved it a very nar row escape from death of Charles Con nor, the snake having pierced his panta locals in two places, with its poisonous fangs, and left a portion of one still in th 3 fabric. Although in -deep trouble at the loss of his brother, Charles had cause to rejoice that he had escaped the poison• ous stroke of the serpent. Securing the raalesnake, they return ed to the place they had placed their companion's corpse ; and after collecting his scattered equipments, started back to secure a vehicle in which to convey it to town. Poor Milo, the faithful dog, kept guard over the corpse until their return—when they drove to the town and had an inquest held—in which af ter a post mortem examination, it was proclaimed, by a verdict of the jury, that "Henry Connor came to his death from the bite of a rattle snake." The corpse was immediately sent home and amid much grief at so sudden and untimely death of one of the finest,and most gentlemanly young men of M—,it was was interred in the family burial place. Robert Clark has never been hunting, with dog and gun, from that day to this, and appears to be impressed with the idea that he was an instrumental cause .of IlannY-Co"SeliOlt'S It may be an item of interest to the reader, ere I close this article, to give an account of the power and the amount of the poison of the rattlesnake, it requires to destroy life. A certain Dr. .Dearing performed the experiment with the fol lowing effect : He selected a large and vicious reptile, very active at the time of experiment. Ile took eigh half grown chickens, and allowed the snake to strike at each, under the wing, as fast as they could be presented to him. The first died immediately; the second after a few minutes; the third after ten min utes ; the fourth after more than an hour ; the fifth after twelve hours ; the sixth was sick and drooping for several days, but recovered ; the seventh was only slightly affected, and the eight not at all. Hence, it will be seen that the poison of this dangerous reptile has a more fatal effect upon living creatures than that of any other agent known, and when once in contact with the blood flowing through the veins and arteries,no cure is certain, and the creature unfor tunate enough to receive it must certain ly die. 31tagnititent Mansion. The New York Citizen thus refers to the new mansion recently erected for J. Cooke in Philadelphia: "The new residence of Jay Cooke, the banker' is situated in Cheltenham, eight miles from Philadelphia, and is built in the French style, white steps, slate roofs and massive plastered chimneys. It is now quite finished, exteriorly, and will ) contain fifty bed-chambers, a ehaple, a I :! ymnasiuut, a library, and all the acces sories to the palatial home of a Christian banker. Its dimensions probably excede those of any private residence on the continent. It is pierced with about eighty windows, and has within it a spa cious court-yard. There is a porch in front of Pennsylvania granite, capped with a shield and monogram, and the rear, which faces the celebrated rural drive called the "Serpentine," is two faced, terminating in a bay-window, the latter of itself large as a dwelling-house. The grounds which make the crust and slopes of a tall hill, arc already set out with evergreens and silvery foliages, and an elderly and manorial wood stretches in front up the sides of a steep precipice, at the foot of which runs a pastoral stream, debouching in fish-ponds, and dropping into waterfalls. The house is a marvel to the Quaker people around it, and as an architectural enterpise, for America, rivals Cologne Cathedral."
