SEW AGRICCLTCRIL SETTLEMEST, TO ALL WANTING FARMS, A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN A DELIGHTFUL j AND HEALTHY CLIMATE 25 MILES SOUTH- j F.AST OF PHILADELPHIA, ON I'HE CAM- j DEN AND ATLANT IC RAILROAD, NEW JERSEY. .j An old estate consisting ot several thousand ot acres ot ■productive soil has been divided into farms of various sizes to sfot the purchaser. A popula tion of some fifteen Hundred , irom various parts of the middle Slates and New England have settled there the past year, improved their places, and S The price of the land lg at the low sum of from sls to S2O per acre, the soil of the best quality for the production ol .latest. Clover. Corn, Peacies, Graftei and Vesrtah/cs. IT fS CONSIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE UNION. The place is perfectly secure from frosts—the destructive enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, giass and lruit are now growing and can be seen. By examining tbe place itseli, a correct judgment can be formed of the productiveness ot the land. The terms aie made easy to secure the rapid improvement of the land., which is only sold lor actual improvement. Ihe result has been, that within the past year, some three hn wired houses have been erected, two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and a arse number of other improvements, making it a es.rable and active place of business. THE MARKET, as the reader may perceive from its location, is the ' BEST IN THE UNION, ' Products bringing doufle the p r ice *tlßn in loca- i tions away from the city, and m6ie"Bhan double the \ price in the.jj est. It is known that the earliest j and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come frorft New Jeisey, and are annually exported to the extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantages He is within a few hours ride of the great cities ol" New England and Middle country where every ini- j provenient oj comfort rflttl civilization t\ at hand. j He can buy every art.de he wants at the cheapen price, an I sell his produce ior+Le highest, (in the j We3t this is reversed,) he has schools for his ehii- j dren. divine service, and will er.joy an open winter, and delightful climate, where fevers are utterly tin- j known. The result of the change upon tho,e from | the north, has generally been to restore them to an i excellent state ot health. In the way of building and improving, lumber : can be obtained at tbe mills at the rate of $lO io ; sls per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard i opened in the piace, every article can be procured m the place; good carpenters are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where buildings and lyi- ! provemen's can be made cheaper. The reader will at once be struck with the j advantages here presented, and ask hirosel. why the • property has not been "taken up before. The reason . is, it was neyer thrown in the market; and unless ! these statements were correct, no one would be .11- . vited to examine the land be,ore pureua-ing. 1 his , all are expected to do.

MISCELLANEOUS. THE READY LAWYER Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, a< a barrister, occa sionally performed some generous action s. Se veral years ago, while on his way to the Chelms ford assizes, he met with an intelligent .aid pleasant leilow-traveiler on the coach. The Sergeant, who was on such occasions very I >nd of what he used to call a very agreeable chat ; with any talkative person he chanced to meet, soon drew his traveling companion into a live- Ily conversation with him. Having always had I <t sprinkling of Yankee curiosity, he generally . contrived to worm out, by a process impercep tible to thejrarly himself, what he wished to learn respecting him. On the occasion allu de! to, Mr. Vaughan was not long in ascertain i ing irom his companion that lie was .also going . to the Chelmsford assizes, which were to be held . the following d.iv. "As a juryman, no doubt," s.nd Mr. Vaugh ' an, on learning the tact itself. _ ; "No, sir, not as a juryman," said the oth -1 ef * . "Ah, as a witness, J should have said^L "Not as a witness, either ; 1 wish it i pleasant "Ah, 1 see Itor in some case which is painful to your feel ' mgs. However, sucti things will happen there j ;s no help fur them."' "You are slid wrong in your conjecture,sir: ' 1 am going to pay away some money tor a relr j tion who'has j case at the assizes."' ''.Ah, that is it ! very unpleasant, jto pay money," observed 'he learned : j geant. "It is, indeed, for those who have little to ! spare," ooservect the otli. r. "YY r eil, f hope it is not to any very serious amount." • MYhvahe magnitiide of the sum, vu ' depends on the resources of the paily who iian j to make payment." "V ery liue; certainly, very true,said Mr. Vaughan. "The sum of .£IOO, to one of limited means, ' is a very large sum lode^d. "Oh, but perhaps you expect to be repaid in . in some way or other again." "That's very uncertain : it depends entirely ' on whether my relative, who has i .si taken public house there, succeeds Well ill i>U>4- ness." "Weil, it ceMainh is a iiard case," ol .served Mr. Serjeant Vaugiiati, wuii a ei ••...•> and ein , phatic air. "All, vou waul i v so ii Vo'i n!y kne'v tile whole of it. "J adeeil are 'here av p-'Cuiizr ir% umstan ces in tbe case ' "There are indeed," answered tiie other, with something between a sign and a rroan. I "Is the mattet a secret .' ' asked Vaughan, j his curiosity being wound up to no ordinary ; pitch. j "Not in the least," said the othei : "i'li j tell you t:ie story, il you don't tiiiuk it tire ! some." j "I'm all anxiety to bear it," said the learned ; gent lemun. j "Well, then," sail tne other, "about si\ : weeks since, a respectable corn-dealer in L >u don, when on the coach to Chelmsford, met on tiie coach two persons who wereperlect stran gers to him. The strangers soon entered into conversation with him, and having learned the objectof his visit to Chelmsford, said they weie also going there on a precisely similar eriand, namely, to make purchases of corn. Alter some further conversation together, it wa> sug gested bv one ot the partes, that it would be better tor ail three, if they could come to an understanding together, as to what amount ot purchases they should make, under what par- I ticulai circumstances these purchases should b. | made —for if they went into market "slap-dash" j and without any understanding together, the ' result would be that in so small a place as j Chelmsford they would raise the prices; ivhere > as, by operating slowly and in conceit, that i would be avoided. The second paity appeared to approve highly of this suggestion, and fur ther proposed, in order to show that neither had the start of tiie other, that they should de posit the money in the hands of their respectable i landlord ol the principal inn ; taking caie that | they did so in the presence oi witnesses, and I that special nutructiou should be given to the j landlord not to give up a farthing to ejther, un j til all three returned to receive the whole— i adding that if he did it, he would be responsi ! hie. 'Vhe London merchant, knowing the lan ! lord ot the inn to be a man of undouoted re ! spectabilitv, at once assented to the proposal, ! and each ol the three parties accordingly pla j ced in his hands, under the circumstances stated, 5 JE2SO, making .£750 in all." "Well," observed Sergeant Vaughan, "vou i certainly do interest me in your singula! story. ! And wiial was the result ?" "Why, this—that scarcely bad the three J parties left the iun a minute, when one of the I strangers came running back, and said that on a ! second thought they all came to the conclusion : that it would be better to make their purchases as iat ly in the day as possible, and that conse • c*.. ally the other two had desired him to return BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25,185!). s and get the money." "And the land lord gave him the whole at once ?" interposed Mr. Vaughan. "He did, indeed, unfortunately for himself an 1 rnt-," answered the other. "And what followed ?" inquired the learned gentleman, eagerly. "Why, the other stranger and the London ■' merchant returned about an hour after, and de- manded their money." "When the landlord of course told them he i had given it to the other." "He did." "On which I suppose they bring an action against the landlord." "Precisely so; and seeing the defence was useless, inasmuch as he delivered up the money to one when his instructions were peremptory not to deliver it unlii ail three weie present, my friend is to allow the action to go undefen ded. The money must be paid tiie sharper— for both strangers, as the event proved, were sharpers—aud also the London merchant." "And you really' have made up your miud to | pay it ?" "Yes, I have. It seems almost useless to contest its payment." •Tain a bairister, I am Mr.Sergeant Vaugh an, and will defend the case of the poor land lord gratuitously. 1 ' The other tendered a thousand tor his intended kindness, but expressed ins apprehen sion that all the efforts ol defence would be perfectly useless. "We shail see. You and your Iriend the landlord will call on me this evening at eight o'clock, to arrange fur the defence to-mor row." To-morrow came, _and the ca- wis duly " called on.

Sheppard tv Overton, attorneys-at law in this city, were applied to by a son of Mrs. d Crull, ol Louisa county, in this State, to obtain, if possible, for her a dowry in certain lands, supposed to be a part of tbe military tract ol tiie Slate of Illinois. This tract uf land, tiie reader will recollect, embraces a large part of B the western part of that Slate, and was set a part by the United Stales, as a part compensa tion to the soldiers of tile war of 1812. Her 1 husband had been a soldier in that war, having enlisted in the army while on a visit ol business s to the city ol Philadelphia, his residence being •' a few miles out of the city, and in the State of Pennsylvania.—Since his enlistment, Mrs. . Crull has heard nothing from him, except a ■ mere rumor that he was killed in an engage ment with the enemy, near Lake Champiain, j aud as Mrs. Cruil had never married again, she | would as his widow be entitled tout least a ' j dowry in any lands her husband might be enti ! tied to as sucti soldier.

Gut no further trace of him coul i they i make out from government, or county records, j as hts wile nor my other of iiis acquaintances I j had ever hear.! from hun further than the rec- j ' ords showed; it seemed pretty clear that he was j j nut alive. But his (iesin wa- n.t suliicientlv : established for their purpose. Messrs. 8.

A MILLIONAIRE 1 N YENTOR'N CAR- j UIAGE "Give me nature and a day," savs Ralph W. Kir.erson, "and I will make the pomp of j emperors ridiculous." This is the remark of one who is- a philosopher and a poet. A shrewd, active, enterprising business man finds i a good patent right a sufficient aid in accoinplish i ing the task tor which Emerson invokes the ' sublime beauties of nature. In our list ot pat ients granted this week, may be found a state i rnent of the nine distiuct claims by which Mr. Singer, the sewing-machine inventor, has pro i tected his wonderful carriage. As this car ! riage has attracted much attention, and as it marks a step in the rapidly increasing strength ! and success of inventors, we give a briefdescrip i tion of it.— Without the aid of diagrams, we ' cannot attempt to give a lull understanding of | - the various contrivances for the safety, comfort, j j and convenience of the occupants, but we can j 1 \"give id the structure. It is a large coupe carriage, much wider than a cm , ' mon coach, tiie wheels b*-mg the same dilative ! apart as those of an omnibus. The body ol the . ' coacli is hung very low, and two >eai>, ol the , 'ordinary form, extend across it, each capab'e of , i accommodating three ladies in rrinolin*. Back I |of each of these seats are two single seats, fa ■ j cing each other, so raised that their floor is on ja level with the lower seats, and which is en ' tered by openings in (he back of the lower seats, 1 made by turning down the middle portion ol j tile back, which is hung on hinges for this pur j pose. Thus the body ot tiie coach will >eat 10 | persons, and two more are accommodated in (he coupe, making 12 inside. Seats for I f persons are provided on the outside, making 2d in all who can be carried at once by this vehicle. The coupe is behind the body of tire coach, witli which it communicates by a door. We cannot entertain our readers with full details of all the contrivances which the inge nious inventor has combined in this costly ve hicle, the expense of which exceeds §3,000, but ! will ami that it has an extensive apartment j for baggage, a room for ladies to arrange their toilet, a receptacle lor carrying dogs and poul | try, a water-closet, &C.; the uhoie being drawn by six horses, driven three abreast, after the j style of a Russian nobleman's equipage, and re sembiing more than anything else a continen j tai diligence of the olden times. In the royal establishments are numerous ! .-.tate carriages, and bv means of the illustrated : newspapers—one ol the great blessings ol mod- I ern civilization—we have formed veiy full ide as ol their appearance; we know how painting Hid gilding have been lavished in vain efforts to counter-balance tiie lumbering clumsiness of Sitm design. In looking at Mr. Stuger's car riage, its yellow and orange, its gmssy varuiHi, ! its glittering lauteins anu pol;.>ued silver, the | : remark ot Emer-un winch we have quoted oc- i i curred to us, ami w~ thought how ea-y it is to i make the pump oi emperors ridiculous.

He resolved latest at i.nee the soul, of the i artful nymph,and to surprise her inio an avow al ot her real feelings. For this purpose he ! proceeded to the d weiiing house ot Mrs. Ma tnews and stretched himself out on the front ■doorsteps, with an empty phial in his hand I tnaiked strychnine : *_\ow there will be an affecting scene when j mv captivating Charlotte comes out,' solilo quised Mr. Gould, us be closed his eyes and | composed his features to coi jrse-iike immobility. i'reseutl y Mi-- Mathews appeared at the door j with a broo.ii in her hand for tiie purpose ot ! sweeping the steps.

'Dead drunk, I guess,' said Mrs. Mathews, as she came to the front door. 'No, 1 declare if he hasn't kicked the bucket in reality,' said Charlotte, spying the bottle, 'and taken strychnine !' 'Four soul,' sighed the benevolent old lady ; how natural he looks.' 'lie looks about as well as when he was alive,' observed Charlotte, 'and that's m t say ing much lor his beauty. He newr could, hold a candie to Jimmy Hichinan,at any time.' This Hichman is a spruce young clerk who boards with Mrs. Mathews, and who happened to come home at that very juncture. When he saw the supposed corpse, James offered to go lor the coroner to hold an imp..-.-! over 'the poor devil,' as tie called Mr. Gould. 'Well, I don't like the notion of having a coroner and jury fellows packed about here, j j said Mrs. Mathews. i 'No,' added Charlotte, 'just drag the nasty j creature on to the cellar door ol lire next house, !

They have gone warmly into everv i exciting political contest. I'iieir faith has been in abuse of tlie South, abuse of the liquor deal ers, abuse ol everybody who did not believe just as they did—in Maine Liquor Jaws and Personal Liberty enactments—in VVilmot Pro visos and Presidential elections.

Theodore Parker, all ot whom have more faith in Sharp's i ill en than in the Christian's God. 'Of course, they have to neglect the care ol their flocks—the moral or spiritual care, we mean. They have given all their lime to in structions how to vote, and have had none lo devote to the moral conduct ot their people.— Instead of inquiring it men commenced the day with a prayer in their families, they have only had time to inquire if they were devoted to the "Republican" party.

Thou canst bind him with his band in the furrow . he will harrow the furrows after thee. His strength is terrible, in which he rejoi- Ceth. The glory of his nostrils is his pride: his neck is clothed with thunder. lie paweth m the valley, and waxeth proud in his speed. He mocketh at fear : neither turneth he his back from the hobgobliu. Lo, now, he moveth his tail like a cedar , his sinews are as rabies. His bones are tike strong pieces of brass, yea, like bars of iron.
