NEW AGRKTLTFRYL SETTLEMENT, I
TO ALL WANTING FARMS,
A RAUF. OPPORTUNITY IN A DELIGHTFUL ;
AND HEALTHY CLIMATE 25 MILES SOUTH
EAST OF PHILADELPHIA, ON THE CAM
DEN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD,
NEW JERSEY.
\n old estate consisting of several' thocsand of
acres of productive soil has been d.v.ded into Farms
of various sizes to suit the purchaser. A popula
tion of some Fifteen Hundred, irom various parts
of the middle States and New England have settled
there the past year, improved their places, and
raiitd excellent rrope. The price ol the land is at
the low sum of from sls to S2O per acre the soil
of tbe best quality for the production ol II Ac,,/.
Clover, Com, Peaches, Grapes and \ rsreta'des. 11
IS CONSIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IV
THE UNION. The place is perfectly secure Irom
frosts—the destructive pnemy of the farmer. Crops
of grain, grass and Iruit are now growing and can
be seen. By examining the place itself, a correct
judgment can be formed of the productiveness of the
land. The terms ate made easy to secure the rapid
improvement of the land,, which is only sold for
actual improvement. The result has been, that
within the past year, eome three hundred houses have j
been erected, two mills, one steam, lour stores, some [
forty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and a i
large number of other improvements, making it a
oesirable and active place of business.
THE MARKET,
as the reader may perceive from its location, is the
BEST IN THE UNION,
Productsbringing double the price than in loca
tions away from the city, and more than double the
price in the West. It is known that the ehrliest
and bpst fruits and vegetables in this latitude come i
from New Jersey, and are annually exported rothe
extent of millions.
In locating here, the settler lias many advantages
He is within a few hours rule "I the great cities n!'
New England and .Middle country icitrre every im
provement of comfort and civilization is at hind.
He can buy eVery article he wants at the cheapest
price, an I sell his produce for the highest, (in the
West this is reversed,) he has schools for his chil
dren, divine service, and will enjoy an open winter,
and delightful climate, where levers are utterly un
known. The result of the change upon those from
the north, has generally been to restore them to an
excellent state of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber
can be obtained at the miffs at the rate of SlO to
Si 15 per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard
opened in the place, every article can be procured
in the piace; good carpenters are at hand, and there
as no place in the Union where buildings and im
provements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the !
advantages here presented, and ask himself why the
property has not been taken tip before. The reason I
is, it was never thrown in the market; and unless
these statements were correct, no one would be in
vited to examine the laud before purchasing. This
all are expected to do. They will sell land under
<-ulti vation, such is the extent of the settlement that
they will no doubt, meet persons from their own
neighborhood; they will witness the improvements
and can judge the character of the population. If
they come with a view to settle, they should come
prepared to stay a day or two and be ready to pur
chase, as locations cannot be held on refusal.
There are two ,+aiFy trams to PBila-L-lplita, onl
to all settlers who improve, THE RAILUOUICOMPANY

THE TOWN OF HAMMONTOX.
In connection with the agricultural settlement, I
anew and thriving town has naturally arisen, which
presents inducements for any kind ot business,
particularly stores and mannlactories. The Shoe
business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, al-o cotton business, and man
ufactories of agricultural implements or Foundries

INDIAN SUMMER.
There is a time just when the frost
Prepares to pave old Winter's way,
When Autumn, in a reverie Jost ,
1 he mellow daytime dreams away ;
When Summer comes, in musing mind.
To gaze once more on hill and dell.
To mark how many sheaves they hind,
And see if all are ripened well.
\V ith balmy breath she whispers low ;
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters 'ir-ath the woodland's shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering sheaf,
And hear it gently where are laid
1 he loved and lost ones of its grief.
At last o'd Autumn rising, takes
Again Ins sceptre and his throne,
With boitterous hand the tree he shakes
Intent on gathering ail his own.
Sweet Summer sighing, 11 ie s the plain, j
And waiting Winter gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all for him.

A 2 asi Woman ;uttl hut- Yictims.
The pnblic has heard ol the numerous chap
ters no less star! ling than interesting, in the
history ot fast young men. who, yielding to
temptation in an evil and unguarded hour, have
rushed headlong to ruin ; but here is a history
which eclipses them all—an account of an ex
traordinarily clever and brilliant "fast" wo
i man, whose power of fascinating and beggar
ing men has been wonderful. We copy from
! the Paris correspondent ol the Courier- des \
I etafs Unis :
"Among the young spendthrifts noticed in
the journals of the day, is the name of a Prus
sian prince, count or Baron Ensbel, who has
eaten up, in less than lour years, a fortune of
more than six million francs, ail for the sweet
i eyes of a woman well known in Paris as Ihe
Marchioness of Pavia. The history of this
woman is curions. She was observed in Rus
sia, where she was born of Jewish parents, bv
a great pianist who conceived for her a passion
justified by her beauty, and above ail, bv her
knowledge and intelligence. She spoke seven
languages perfectly. The pianist brought her
with him to Paris, where he had the weakness
to present her as a legitimate wife in socie'.v,
and even at a court ball. At this ball she
made such an impression on one of the princes
cl ihe Orleans family, that she attracted him
to the home of the man whose name she bore.
Borne down by his excessive expenses, the
at list quitted France for a time to mend his
fortunes abroad. His companion, left at home,
during his absence, quitted it one fine morning,
to follow Lord Ward, known in London by his
conquests of this kind. This nobleman did not
retain her long—he economized too much of the
wealth ol which she was greedy. Returned to
Parts in quest of a new position, which was
the height of her ambition, she encountered the
young Marqni* of Pavia, brother to the Portu
guese Embassador, whom she so fascinated that
lie e|>oiised her legally and religiously, prom
ising her a million francs in case they should j
separate oa incompatibility of temper. This I
BEDFORD, PA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21,1859.
I eventually was not long in coming. The new
Marchioness could'not consent to live in the
1 heart of Portugal, whither her husband had
l taken her. so after making useless efforts to re
! tain her, he counted out the million and let
I her go. At the end ol the year til e million had
j vanished, so that the Marchioness was obliged
to pell furniture, horses and carriages, and to
take refuge in furnished lodgings, where she
spent her last cent. She had not the where
withal to pay for a dinner, when she met a
friend to whom she told her condition, and who
offered her a m u al at jthe Restaurant Ledoyen,
in the Champs Elysees. In the conversation at
dinner she told him that here she would be a
millionaire or drowned : that this was li§r un-.
changeable resolution, and ihe vision of her
slumber. VVhile saying this she held in her,
hand a journal, and her eyes rested on an ex-I
tract from a Prussian Gazette, relative to the I
decease ola Prussian personage, who left a for
tune of ten or twelve millions to his two young
unmarried nephews. She read this several
times, became thoughtful, and four davs after
ward she left for Prussia, with a thousand francs 1
borrowed from her acquaintances. She was!
presented afterwards, I know not how, to the
eldest of the heirs j but he was a species of
Nunrod huntsman who had no passion but tbe
chase. She addressed herself to the cadet of j
the family. He, just coming from school, was!
Ola nature sweet and sensitive as that of his j
brother was rude, fie was an easy prey, and !
hardly had the adroit huntress caught him in •
her toils, than the death of his brother doubled j
his fortune. He followed his tempter to Paris, !
and surrendered himself to her with sucb aban- i
donment, that I have heard that man, -nduw- !
ed nobly in body and mind, who knew all the |
antecedents of her who had seduced him. ey- j
press his regret that she was not a widow, so '
that he could bestow up in her his name, as he '
had his fortune. He was hardly twentv-eight
years old, while she was over lorty ! He cover
ed her with the rarest diamonds and pearls that
could be found. He bought her a country seat
near Paris, which is a princely chateau. She
gave every week splendid dinners, but she had
I for guests only men, and this tormented her. |
Her ambition, when all else was satisfied, was 1
[to attract to her, by her splendid style of Jile, ,
women who were not of the uemi rt.ff '
I impossible thins caused her to blush ainid her
i opulence. Hoping to triumph over this obsta
cle, by softening the conscience of the public,
she commenced to build in the great avenue of
the Champs Elysees, a mansion which would be
a wonder. Ihe stair case is entirelv ot onyx,
and the dining ot malachite. But the work
ii.rs been suspended after an expense of two or
three million ol francs. The poor rich man

Water SfMHtl o the Prairie
/ errible Destruction oj Life and properly.
The N*w York Tribune , dated May the 25th,
gives, the following particulars of a severe torna
do at lowa City :
Last evening, while yet it was light, there
arose suddenly a violent wind, accompanied bv
strong indications of rain. In a few moments
the whole horizon became pitchy black, and
the most vivid lightning darted athwart the sky.
A terrible thunder storm burst upon us.
While yet it was raging fearfully the skv sud
denly appeared unclouded in the east f;r a
space several inches in wjdth. Many of our
citizens discovered, indistinctly at first, the ra
pid approach of an immense water spoilt. The
phenomenon was so unusual that the attention
of hundreds was drawn, to it. The appear
ance of the huge volume of water as it reached
from earth to sky—waving to and fro like a
rope hung in the wind—was exceedingly grand.
The water—pout remained in sight nearly fif
teen minutes, when the sky becoming obscured,
it was lost sight of.
Scarcely an hour elapsed before news was '
brought that Jesse Berry, a member ofour com- !
moil council, had been killed in a barn, which !
was thrown down by the violence of the wind
and water. The next express from the country
brought us information that a family by the
name of Morgan, three in number, had been
struck two ot its members killed instantly,
and the mother so seriously injured that it is
thought impossible for her to recover. Two
men, w hose names we could not learn, were
killed instantly. Many have had their legs or
arms broken, and others have suffered from
contusion and fractures, occasioned by the fall
of houses which had been blown down upon
them.
The water-spont seems to have been from !
thirty to forty feet in diameter, and to have '
destroyed a larste amout of property. Its ex- j
tent was from seven to ten miles, and it is said j
to have traveled with great rapidity. In one
instance a barn ot Mr. Berry's was taken
iroin its foundation, carried some three hundred
yards, thrown down and crushed into a
thousand fragments. A child of Mr. Walsh
was taken up and carried nearly five hundred i

yards, thrown into a slough, but, strange to
say, escaped with its life. The spout appeared
like an immense funnel, and it seemed very
near, for the whirl and sparkle of the water
could he plainly seen.
On the same day a similar tornado passed
over a portion of Illinois. A dispatch from
j Jacksonville, says :
As far as heard from, it began in Calhoun
'county, carrying everything, men, houses,
I barns, fences, trees and cattle with it, from j
, Manchester to a distance of twelve miles, di
j rectly north-east. We can count thirty-six
dwelling houses, with ail the barns and out
houses destroyed. The number of killed, as
far as heard from, are Mrs. Route, a son of'Geo.
Van Zanes, Samuel Brown, a Portuguese in the
, employ of Mr. Route, Jonathan Carlisle, Jacob
' Sample and wife, and Mr. Thomas. Th ere are I
! about fifty seriously, if not mortally wounded.
Most ot them, it is leared, must die.
Io give an idea of the force of the storm, I '
have in my possession a stone weighing three
pounds that was lifted up and carried sixty feet,
passing through a window four feet from the
floor. The floor and partition of a school room,
twenty by thirty feet, was carried awav, with
heavy timber, and all cannot be found within
two miles of the place. A wind mill was car
ried over four hundred yards, with pipes, pumps,
<Nc., the small end foremost. There is not ten
feet square within the route of the storm that I
has not rails, boards, &c., stuck in the ground,
so that no one can easily pull them out. Whole
partitions of houses are gonp and cannot be
found. A man riding in a field was blown
from bis horse, the saddle torn off and carried j
about two miles from the place.
No one C3n form an idea of the terrible ef
fects of this s'oi m, which lasted but five min
utes, with but little rain. The cloud was very
brignt. while on either side it was so dark as
not to be able to distinguish objects.
Democracy.
fo there, says a cotemporary, a word in our
i language that has the ring of our noble watch
i word, Democracy ? It touches at once every
chord of our being, because in itself it compri
i ses all <he best men have dreamed, all the orea
-7 *3
I test sages have thought, all that the highest
S flights of nbman reason have reached. It epj(.
! onuzes all the results of the painful labors of
! mankind from the rude attempts of savage
| ignorance to the beautiful fabric of civilization,
i It is like a brilliant pinnacle perched on a high
| rugger! hill, up which struggling millions have
toiled and are still toiling. Democracy—the
' rights ot the people ! Not the rights of indi
viduals; not the rights of class, or section, but
| the rights of all including each. Nothing sel
fish, partial, limited, but the full recognition of
one's claim, the unfettered development ot each
one's faculties, the unrestricted enjoyment
of each one's rights. This is Democracy. Is
it wonderful that its trumpet sounds wake man
kind from the sleep of lethargy, that at its ech
| oes the ramparts of prejudice, the strong fast
! nesses of tyranny and fanaticism are sha
ken, down, toiler and fall. Was so potent
a name ever inscribed on any banner, a name
fiiat in itself betokens victory ? The partv that
owns this banner, must be national, it will be
universal. It JS born from no local passion,
from no selfish interest, from no personal pre
judice, from no transient expedient or passing
cause, its vital spark is an eternal truth. It
claims nothing at the expense of others, it
stands upon the immutable foundation of truth
; and justice. Even those that oppose it are ioath
to sunder every bond. Those that leave it re
pent and return. Democracy is the pride of
our land ; it is that which makes it the shining
beacon to mankind, the star of hope to present
and future generations. Not our shipping that
dots every sea, not our fertile, boundless lands,
not our inventions and gigantic strides, make us
the wonder of the world. These are but the
offspring, the practical manifestation of the great
priuciple embodied in our party name—the
rights of the people, the rights of all. *Can the
most prolific brain invent a just cause that is
not embraced in its protecting arms ? Is there
a wrong against which it has no weapons.—
The noble tree, which grows only in the rich
est soil, the young roots of which are led with
the blood of patriot men, that noble tree ex
tends its sheltering branches over everything
that is good and just, but wrong and error can
not live within its realm. The party which
watched over the birth of this nation, which sat
by its cradle, which reared it to youthful man
hood, that party shall be its guardian angel so
long as Providence has decreed to prolong its
days. Let no rash imaginings, no impatient
ardor, seduce the unwary from a brotherhood
which fias ever been faithful to its trust. Let
no one rashly condemn when the results have
been so grand, and abandon the bright lights of
the past for the fitful will-o-the-wisp of the
present.

leon has succeeded beyond her most sanguinary
expectorations.
The skull of Richelieu.
It £pf>ms probable that a very curious and
interesting affair will soon be brought before
the courts. Jt js known that the famous Car
dinal Richelieu was buried in the chapel of the
Sarbonne, where his tomb is still to be spen.—
During the days of terror the infuriated mob
tore oppn the Cardinal's grave, in common with
thousands of others, dragged forth the remains,
separated the head from the body, and carried j
it through the streets stuck on a pike. This
head subsequently fell into the possession of a
deputy of those days, who bequeathed it to his
son. TIIP latter, of course, attaches a high val
ue to the prize, obstinately refusing to give it
up to the State, which claims that the skull of j
the illustrious minister of Louis XIII, should be
placed among the public relics of the em
pire.
It was at first attempted to settle the contro- j
versy without appealing to the tribunal*, but,,
as the present possessor of the Cardinal's head
is determined not to give it up without being
absolutely forced to do so, it is said the authori- j
ties are about bringing suit against him to compel
its restoration ; and there seems very little doubt j
that lie wi II lose his cherished bead, at last.l
When Richelieu ruled France, and the weak i
king, his nominal master, with a rod of iron,;
holding the lives and fortunes of the
erful in the hollow of his hand, little did he
dream that the day would come wh en his skull
would be carried through Paris on a pike, trea
sured by a city deputy, and rec .aimed by Gov
ernment to be placed under a glass case, per
haps in the museum of the Louvre, or the Ho
tel dp Clurry.— Correspondent of Penna. In

In describing the great celebration in Par

says:
"As one of the regimental bands came to
take its station ou the Place Vendome in lront
ot us, while its regiment filed past, it played the
new Italian Marseillaise, or lather Milanaise, \
which annoyed the Austrians so much, nndj
which they prohibited in their Italian proyi
crs_ It was the |jrs£ air I heard on arriving iftfl
Italy, and the last one on leaving ; the Italians
ate, drank, went to bed, got up, marched and
begat their enemies, iu unison with its notes ;
; 1 did the same (all but the fighting) myself. It
is one ol those glorious airs which raise a man's
hair to the perpendicular and set his nerves in ;
a tremor. It utters the plaintive cry of the;
Italians struggling for liberty, it calls them from
their firesides, and clusters them under the flag
of independence ; it leads them to the midst of
roaring cannon and flashing sieel hushes to
sleep ttie dying wariiors on the field of battle,
and then sounds aloud tiie note of victory. I
was always atraid when I heard this piece of
exciting music that some one might come aiont*

than glorious music.

Greasing the nagoii tire.
A good many years ago I hired a "green 1
hand" just "come over" to work on the farm,'
and I had a good deal of fun that Summer, even
if he did not turn out very profitable at first,!
though he was a good faithful fellow, and after
a long schooling became first-rate help. One
morning I wanted to go to market before day
light, and I told Patrick to be sure and grease
the \va<*on wheels well over night. Morning
° .
came and I slatted off, Patrick having assured
me the wheels were well greased ; but when I
had traveled about ten miles, I had for my a
musement the hardest kind of music you ever
heard, sque—e— e— k, sque—e—e —k it went,
until I wished Pat had been there, so that I
could hare taken grease enough out of him to
stop the miserable noise. When I got home, of
course T called him to a pretty sharp account,
WHOLE XOIBER, 2873.
"SUIP and T grazed 'cm all, round and round,' y
?aid he, "and ye can see for your own eyes,
where I spilted some ot it on the woodens.*
True enough, he had given all the tires thor
ough oiling, a? the marks on the felloes, or
w oodeng, as hp called them, plainly shoewd.
I couldn t scold for laughing, and I've laughed
a good many times since when I've been put irv
mind of it by seeing a man waste his work by
| putting it in the wrong place.
There was my neighbor, who had the hardest
looking lot of stock I ever saw, and they were
just as hard as they looked, for they'd scale
fences like so many cats. He used to'keep (wo
dog S and spend half his time in chasing his crit
; ten out of the corn and grain fields, when they
only wanted something to eal, and it would
have puzzled a grasshopper to provide for a
family in his pastures. Whenever I saw him
j puffing, and sweating, and tearing around like
mad after his cattle, instead of fixing his fdnces,
I laughed and said, "His labor and expense are
all in the wrong place, he's greasing the wag
on tire."
Another man! new who used to work night
and day lo make money, but his farm kept run
j ning down every year. He would go to "mar
• ket at least three times a week, selling everv
! thing that grew on the place, from huckleberries
■ up to sawlogs, and I couldn't see as he spent
anything, for he and his wife always looked like
distress, but he just managed to keep up his in
terest, and that was all. His land was onlv
skinned, and his manure lay around loose in the
; only barn yard he had—the public road. And
j when I saw him week after week goiDg to town
; with a load of some truck to peddle out, thinks
j I, he's "greasing his Wagon tire."
H hen I ve seen men walloping their bovs for
swearing and cutting up, and then letting them
run around nights to the village tavern, ot
wherever they pleased, withou' calling them
to account, although I telt sad, I had to laugh,
for they put me so much in mind of "greasing
the wagon tire."
I've seen mechanics and merchants do the
same thing when they took their capital out of
a safe buisioess to go to speculating, and even
, the wortfen have "greased the wagon tire" by
j bringing' up their daughters to be ladies, by
sit reading novels in the parlor

T don't loYe to think about fnnny things in

Transplanting; Fruit Trees.
Planting fruit trees, like planting anything
else in the ground, designed to grow well, must
be done right ; and no labor can be more judi
ciously spent, than in planitng a fruit tree well.
Tn the first place, get good, sound trees, and if
the top is full of branches, or large, and the
roots are small, it is necessary to trim down the
top to suit the size and buantity of roots. This
j the person planting must be the judge of. AH
roots that are bruised or injured in taking up,
must be cijt off smooth. The longer and larger
•he roots the better. In the next place, make
, the holes for trees large, not less than from four
to six feet in diameter, and at least two feet deep
| —the more depth the better. Fill up the holes
with any good soil to withrn fifteen inches of
the top—set the tree in the hole the same way
it first grew—fill up all the spaces around the
roots with good fine earth, and cover over all
; the roots three or four inches thick with good
j rich soil, which press down lightiy with the
| toot, except around the trunk of the tree, where
j a half bucket of water poured around will have
the effect of causing all the vacancies around
the trunk and roots under it to fill up. Place
, a stake ot stick in the hole where there are no
j roots near; or what would be much better, a
l post of locust, of proper size and height to fas
ten the tree to for four or five years, to keep it
from swinging about by the wind, then fill up
the whole to within four or five inches of thp
top, and put a layer of any kind of manure,
straw, wpeds, two or three inches thick,
and then fill the hole fall of earth, and tramp it
moderately tight. The trees ought to be plan
ted from nine to fifteen inches in depth, accor
ding to size and former depth of growth. Ma
ny good trees are ruined by the storms, cattle,.
&c., for want of good stakes or posts to prevent
their bending down, and shaking loose at roots,
X.c. These prescriptions are intended for apple
trees, and all others can be planted m the same
way, except as regards distance. Appjp trees,
in a new orchard, should be planted from thir
ty to forty teet apart, according to size or kinds
of trees smaller size nearer in proportion.
Fall planting is the surest season, affording
more leisure to plant properly, fkc., and can be
done from the middle ot October until the
ground freezes.— Patriot & Union
