BKBFOKB, n. TBIMY, lAßfll 23. I SIB
THE POOR HOUSE BILL.
It is with some diffidence we address our
selves to the discussion of this vexed sub- j
ject, but it is a matter of so much impor- j
taoce to our people that it cannot be j massed i
in silence. A Poor House we must build.
It cannot be delayed. The bill before the
Legislature (and which we print in another
column) is a good one in the maim though
some cf its features are objectionable and
need amendment. The first section should
be amended and make the nuiubtr of Com
missioners either three or live, and provide
lor their appointment by the Court. The
objection to a large number is that they are
difficult to get together and consequently
frequently delay work; the expense of a
large commission is also necessarily heavier.
Three good men are plenty, and are decided
ly preferable to any larger number. The
Commissioners should be appointed by the
Judges of the Court. Otherwise some may
die, others tuny refuse to serve and the va
cancies cannot be filled until another year.
Indeed it might very easily happen that the
whole commission would thus be made va
cant. Again, in Court the selection can be
made in consultation with the county offi
cers and the tax payers of the county. The
men named in the bill are all good men, but
they have been named by unknown parties
and without the notice or knowledge of a
large portion of the people of the county.
Important appointments of this kind should
be made with the knowledge and consent of
the people who have to ray the piper, and
not by unknown parties who, perhaps with
a knowledge of their views, have named
them with a view to the accomplishment of
a specific object. On this point we think
the people should be very pvitive and de
mand that the appointment be made at
home and in open court. The fourth sec
tion in regard to issuing bonds is not clear
and should be amended so as to make it
more specific. The amount to be borrowed
should be definitely limited. In section
sixth it is right and proper that the people
be permitted to declare by a vote whether
they wish the present property sold or not,
but if they should decide against a sale the
commission should not lapse, but should be
authorized to select a suitable site and erect
buildings on the present property. Build
ings we must have and that without delay.
The present building is simply a disgrace to
the county, and the poor of the county can
hardly be kept in it as decently aud comfort
ably as almost any respectable farmer keeps
his beasts of burthen. With these amend
mcnts the bill would not be objectionable.
Without them it had better not be passed
at all, us it would, in all probability, only
further complicate an already perplexing
and disagreeable question and delay the
work that is so greatly and urgently needed.
THE FUNDING BILL
Senator Sherman's Funding bill, as it
passed the Senate, provides for issuing
bonds in three series, each of $400,000,000
for the purpose of refunding the public
debt. The first series are 10 40s at 5 per cent.
The second series are 15 40s at 4j per cent
And the third series 20 40s at 4 per cent.
The bonds to be of a not less denomination
than SSO, registered and coupon, exchang
able for the 6 per cents now in existence at
par values, and redeemable in coin within
the minimum and maximum periods which
give name to the securities. The ioterest
to be paid in coin semi-annually. The last i
scries of four per cents may be increased bc
yoDd the $400,000,000 in the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury, provided that
such increase does not increase the aggre
gate indebtedness.
It is further provided : ? iit the-e bonds
shall not be taxed nor the income derived
therefrom and $ 150.000,000 are annually to
be appropriated to the payment of the in
terest and principal of the debt. After
October next, it is required that the lution
a! banks shall exchange their six per cent
bonds for the four per cent bonds under
this act.
\\ e hope the bill will pass the House
promptly. The funding of our debt at the
lcwer rate-; ot interest herein named, which
it is believed can be promptly done, will
save from $20,000,000 to $25.000,0p0 of in
terest annually, being equivalent to a reduc
tion of $500,000 000 of the debt. The na
tional banks are grumbling at the protract
ot giving up their six per cent bonds and
taking the four per cent instead and threat
en to quit banking. Nobody will complain
it they do. \\ e need a re-division of the
national banks at any rate and this will af
ford a fine opportunity for a fairer distribu- i
tion. There will be plenty of banks lound i
ia the Middle, Western and Southern States I
to take the four per cent bonds and be glad ;
to get them.
A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.— Last Friday,
a coffee pot son of thunder from Bucks j
county, Senator Linderman, and another 1
democratic fightin pony from Philadelphia,
Senator Nagle, gave a free pugilistic and '
shillelah entertaiument in the Senate Cham
ber at Harriibnrg. The cause of this dis- ■
graceful altercation between these honor
able (?) representatives of Pennsylvania arose j
from a difference iu their actions and views '
on the first Metropolitan Police bill. After '
a bold and open charge with being bribed ;
and bought on the one l and, and designated '
as thief and pickpocket on the other, and
the usual amount of rough and abusive lan
gurgc (characteristic of democratic chivalry i
and to which democrats universally resort in :
order to get up the fightin' steam) on both !
sides, Mr. Nagle went for Mr. Linderman's |
proboscis in such a manner as to render him
-wins e\ed, and shade his complexion,
whilst Mr. L.nderman applied his cane about •
Mr. Nagle s cranium in such a manner that |
it caused several additional protuberances I
tn 'hat vicinity, which, according to the
latest phrenologists, is indicative of thin
blood and bad principles.
A NEW IDEA. —The latest suggestion in 1
finances, in connection with the funding bill, j
is the proposition to negotiate our new loans
in China and Japan. Money is said to be
very abundant in both these countries, and
can be had at very low rates. All that is
wanting is to briDg our bonds to the notice
of Chinese and Japanese capitalists and !
give them assurance of the security of the
investment. \Y e have already Won the
good will of these people through Burlio
game's mission and other good offices, and ,
the negotiation of a loan there would great- i
ly facilitate and improve our already flour
ishing commercial relations with those
countries. The only drawback we see is
that the feelings of the Democracy might be
uurt at the idea of selling our bonds and
borrowing money of any but white men.
They are opposed to the Chinese and would
doubtless be greatly exercised at the receiv
ing of any but white men's gold. Let us
try the mongolians anvhow.

SOME of our exchanges arc in ecstasies
over the fact that four women served on a
Jury in a murder case in Wisconsin and
that the Jury were four days in agreeing
upon a verdict. The c* is quoted as an
evidence or women's physical ability and
endurance and therefore fitness for the posi
tion of Jurors. We have no objection to
women voting and serving on juries when
ever they want to do so, (at present we
know of no woman for whom we have any
respect, who wants to do aoy of these
things.) but we would like to bear from some
of our "woman's rights'' friends bow the
husbands and children, including babies, of
those four women fared during those four
eveutful days. We would like to have a
bird's eye view of the household over which
those strong mirjded women presided.
A DISGRACEFUL BLUNDER.—When a
public officer, and especially when a mem
ber of Congress deliberately violates the
plain law and deliberately sells his patron
age, he should be promptly expelled and
permanently disgraced. Whittemore with
a proper sense of his disgrace, when found
guilty of selling cadetships, quickly resigned
to avoid the disgraceful expulsion be merit
ed. The House completely stultified itself
the other day, when it permitted R. R.
Butler to remain with a simple vote of cen
sure, when he was every whit as guilty a*
Whittemore. Snch conduct on the part
the House is a sad comment upon the esti
mate its members put upon their owe
characters. R. R. Butler is irretrievably dis
graced ; he deliberately betrayed his trust
and no consideration should have saved him
from prompt expulsion.
THE latest phase of the Cuban question
is presented in Spain. The Madrid papers
are seriously discussing the question ol
ceding Cuba to the United States for a
handsome consideration. The discussion is
said to be apptoved by the Spanish authori
ties. The fact that the Spanish Treasury
is empty may go for toward accounting for
this singular phenomenon. The only diffi
culty in the way now, seems to be that Un
cle Sam is not inclined to bid but prefers to
wait until Cuba comes of her own free will.
$y,500,000 of bonds held by the State
have been lent to four different railroad en
terprises in this state, for the purpose of
assisting in developing our resources. The
bill was passed though both Houses and
signed by the Governor within seventy-two
hours. Might not a little vigilance on the
part of our Senator and members have se
cured a portion of these bonds for the Bed
ford and Bridgeport road ? It is as import
ant as any other 26 miles in the interior of
the state.
THE Camden & Antboy and Baltimore A
Ohia railroad companies are making a des
perate effort to prevent the passage through
congress of the bill authorizing a new air
line railroad between New York and Wash
ington. The two roads above named have
a monopoly of the railroad business between
the two cities at present, and wish to pre
vent any rival road. Wo sincerely hope
their efforts may fail and the bill pass. An
additional road is greatly needed.
GREAT SNOW STORM. —The snowstorm
of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of last
week was the most extensive of the winter.
It prevailed over the whole northern por
tion of the United States from Maine to
Minnesota. The snow was three feet deep
all over Minnesota and in Boston the streets
were covered to the depth of two feet,
buildings were unroofed and blown down in
various places, and all the railroad and tele
graph lines were more or less obstructed.

the pay not being forthcoming the repeaters

ugly cases.
A -VITRO GLYCERINE factory in Bergen

LETTER FROM HA KRIS BURG,
Harrisbcro, Pa., March 18, 1870.
THE IRCTJEST THING
That bus taken place, in the way of legis.
lation, for many years, in this Bfate, has
been witnessed during the past week. A
bill was introduced into the Senate and
rushed through both Houses within four
days, which takes six miltions of the Penn
sylvania railroad bonds, and three and a
half millions of the bonds of the Allegheny
railroad, out of the sinking fund, and gives
them to railroads not yet constructed, taking
in lieu thereof the bonds of tho different
roads to be built. The Pennsylvania rail
road bonds, to the amount of six millions,
go to the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek, and
Buffalo railroad, to construct a line from
Jersey Shore, in LycomiDg couuty, to some
point in M'Kean county, to connect with
the Buffalo and Washington railroad. The
Alleghauy Valley railroad bonds, to the
amount of three aud a half millions, are
distributed us follows: To the Pittsburgh,
Virginia aud Charleston company, one
million six hundred thousand, to construct
a railroad between South Pittsburgh aud
Greensboro', in Greene county; to Clear
field and Buffalo company one million four
hundred thousand, to construct a road from
Clearfield county to M'Kean county; to the
I Eric and Allegheny company, five hundred
thousand dollars, to construct a railroad be
tween the city of Erie and the Atlantic and
Great Western railroad. In the case of the
Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo rail
road, the bunds substituted for those taken
out of the sinking fund, are to be a first
mortgage on the road, and in the other
I casts a second mortgage, with the fiist
! mortgage limited to sixteen thousand dollars
per mile. It is stipulated that the roads
shall be completed and in running order
within three years, aud that the payment of
the interest, at five per cent per annum, up
to the time of the completion of the roads,
shall he guaranteed by the Pennsylvania,
Northern Central, or Reading railroad com
pany.
WHAT IS CLAIMED.
It is claimed that by the construction of
these roads some of the richest natural re
sources of Pennsylvania will be developed,
and that avenues of traffic will be opened
that will add immensely to the wealth and
prosperity of the State By the Jersey Shore,
Pine Creek and Buffalo line a communica
tiiin will be opened with the important lake
p>ort of Buffalo and Philadelphia someeighty
miles shorter than any existing route. It is
thought that by this mtans a large portion
of the grain trade of the west from Chicago
will be directed towards Pennsylvania, and
the rich coal and iron fields of McKeaD,
Potter, Tioga and Lycoming will receive a
development that will render that section
one of the richest in the State. But whether
Pennsylvania, in its present financial con
dition, can afford to take out of the sinking
fund—a fund considered sacred for the pay
ment of tho public debt—bonds of roads
that Lave a marketable value, and are at
any time available, and exchange them for
bonds on roads that have as yet no actual
existence is a question that at least admits
of a difference of opinion.
STARTLING DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS
are still being developed in the Diamond-
Watt contested election case of the Senate.
At the meeting last night three New York
repeaters were on the witness stand. They
swore that they were a part of a gang of
twenty-five that came to Philadelphia last
October on election day for the purpose of
acting as repeaters. One of the witnesses
testified that he voted the Democratic ticket
eleven times, another seven and the other
nine times. In none of these eases were
they challenged, or required to be sworn.
They were to be paid twenty-five dollars
each and their expenses for their infamous
work, but their employer failing to pay the
full sum stipulated they were induced to
make an expose of the whole thing before
the committee. More developments of a
similar character are expected to be made at
the meetings next week.
TUE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL,
in a somewhat modified form, has again
passed the Senate, and will doubtless re
ceive the concurrence of the Ilouse next
week. Whether the Governor will sign
the bill or not is a matter of speculation.
The friends of the measure assert positively
that he has signified his approval of the hill
in the present shape, while those opposed
are equally positive in stating that he has
indicated his intention to veto it. A few
days will likely settle the matter one way or
the other.
TIIE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
is now ready for the action of the Senate.
The Finance Committee have given it a very
careful revision, and claim to have reduced
the aggregate some half a million of dollars
below what it was when it passed the House.
This will leave it, when reported to the
Senate, about a hundred thousand dollars
less than the bill of last year when it be
came a law.
HIE LOCAL OPTION BILL
has passed the House. It passed in a form
to allow brewers to sell not less than four
gallons, and authorizes elections to be held,
not more than once in three years, in each
county, city or township, on the question of
license. In the case of a majority in favor
of no license, the law shall be prohibitory,
but in the event of the majority being the
other way, the present license law shall re
maiu in full force. It is thought the bill
will fail in the Senate.
STATE TREASURY MATTERS
remain in the condition they were last week.
An effort was made this morning to get up
the resolution requiring the Sergeant-at-
Aruis to take General Irwin into custody,
and bring him before the bar of the Senate,
to show cause why he refused to be sworn
by the Finance Committee, but it proved
unsuccessful. The bill to regulate the State
Treasury, which has passed the House, still
remains on second reading in the Senate,
and it is very doubtful whether it will pass
the present session.
XLlst CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION.
SATURDAY, MARCH 12th.—The Senate
was not in session, having adjourned from
Friday, until Monday.
In the House, by unanimous consent, the
time ~ was entirely devoted to debate, and
consequently no business was transacted.
MONDAY March 14th.—In tne Senate
several petitions were presented, after which
the House bill to admit, the State of Georgia
to representation in Congress, was taken
up, but the Senate went into executive ses
sion before action was taken. In the House,
several resolutions were passed, one pro
viding for the safety of passengers on West
ern river steam boats, and another to regu
late the taxes and duties so as not to inter
fere with the business and industrial inter
est* of the eountry.
I UESDAY March 15th.—Senate passed
the liou9e resolution appropriating one
year's salary to the widow of Edwin 31.
Stanton dee'd. A resolution was then of
fered inquiring whether the Indians are not
citizens of the United States under the pro
visions of the XYth amendment, and
whether the treaties between the Indians
and the 4. nired States are or are Dot annull
ed. This led to considerable discussion and
when put to vote was a tie, but was deter
mined against the motion by the vote of the
Vice President. The Georgia bill was then
taken up.
Mr. Drake offered an amendment to the
Georgia bill, providing that whenever the
Governor or Legislature gt any State lately
in hostility to the United States shall repre
sent to the President that organisations ex
ist in auch State threatening violence to per
sons or property, or opposing the due exe
cution o|" the laws, and such State being un
able to suppress thetn, it shall be the duty
of the President to send into that State such
a cumber of United Stales troops as are
necessary for the suppressionand subjuga
tion of snob organisations and the officer
commanding sueo troope sfctil! declare B>sr- 1
rial law in the county or district ao infested,
and take such measures as are known ir
martial law for the suppression of such or
ganisations, the expenses of such expedi
tions to be defrayed by the county or dis
trict where stteb violence exists, or is report
ed to exist by the State officials.
On motion of Mr. Morton the Senate thin
went into executive session, at the close of
which it adjourned.
In the House, the Funding bill was takio
up and discussed and referred to the com
mittee ou Ways and Means.
Mr. Benjamin, from the Committee on
Invalid Pensions ( called up the bill to amend
the mode of paying pensions. He said the
bill will was intended to emancipate the
pensioner from the grasp of mercenary
claim-agents. The bill proposes to simpli
fy and economize the manner of paying pen
sions. It simply requires the pensioner to
sign the application and a receipt, and he
will speedily receive a draft at the nearest
post office, from the Government direct, in
curring no expense whatever, save that for
an oaih before a magistrate. The further
consideration at this bill was postponed for
two weeks. The bill to admit the people
of the State of Texas to representation in
Congress was taken up and_ passed by 131
yeas to 45 nays, The Deficiency bill wis
then taken up and discussed until the House
adjourned, which was 10 o'clock p. m.
W EDNRSUAY Mareh 16tb.—In the Sen
ate the Georgia bill was again taken up, and
Mr. Revels the colored Senator from Mis
sisssippi made his first speech on this occa
sion, after which Mr. Morton made some
remarks, when the Senate adjourned.
In the House, the Deficiency bill, after a
lengthy debate, was passed.
Mr. Stouehton, from the Committee on
Military Affairs, reported on the case of
Roderick R. Butler, Representative from
the First district, Tennessee, charged with
selling a cadetship. The testimony taken
shows that on Februray 27, 1809, Mr But
ler appointed Augustus C. Tyler, son of the
late General Tyler, who was not a resident
of Tennessee; that the said Butler received
S9OO for the same, with the avowed purpose
of using the money for political purposes
in Tennessee. The committee therefore
condemn Butler's conductasan unauthor
ized and dangerous practice.
Messrs. Logan, Cobb, Morgan and Slo
cum submitted a minority report, with a
resolution that Mr. Butler be expelled
Mr. Stoughtou gave notice that he would
call up both reports for action to-morrow.
THURSDAY March 17th.—In the Senate
the discussion of treaties was first in order,
hut the motion was finall referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations. On mo
rion the House bill aboli.-hiDg the franking
privilege was made the special order for
next Tuesday. Several speeches were then
made on the Georgia bill, but no action
taken.
In the House the Butier case was taken
up and consumed several hours time. The
vote tD expel Mr. Butler stood 102 yeas to
6S nays, but as this was Dot two thirds the
number required to expel a member the
question was lost. A vote was then taken
on the resolution censuring him for selling
cadetships. which resulted—yeas 101, nay
fid. The Tariff bill was then taken up and
discussed till the House adjourned.
FRIDAY March 18th.—The whole of the
time was occupied iD tho Senate iu discuss
ing the Georgia bill.
The House w nt into committee of the
whole, on the Tariff bib, after which the
business done was in the interest of the
District of Columbia
Adjourned till Monday.
PENNSYLVANIA LEVULATLBE.
MONDAY March 1 4th.—The Senate was
not in session to day.

TUESDAY March lath —ln the Senate
the Metropolitan Police bill was taken up,
and after a good deal of excitement and dis
cussion it passed to a third reading.
In the House the private calender, con
taining 24 printed nages, was considered.
WEDNESDAY March 16th.— SENATE. —
after a number of bills were introduced and
referred, the Senate bill to aid in the con
struction of'a railroad from the Susquehan
na river to Buffalo, was reported favorably
with an amendment. This amendment is
intended to secure the completion of the
Clearfield and Buffalo, the Erie and Alle
gheny. and the Pittsburgh, Virginia and
Charleston Railroads, by giving them the
use of the Allegheny Valley Railroad bonds
of the par value of $3,500,000, now in the
State Treasury, in exchange for their own
bonds, which shall bear the same rate of in
terest and mature at the same time as the
Allegheny bonds, and the completion of the
road* and the interest shall bo guaranteed
by responsible railroad companies.
In the House, the House bill allowing the
people of each county, eity or township to
vote on the license question was considered.
It was amended so as to HIIOW brewers to
sell not less than four gallons. Elections
may l>e held not ofttr.er than once in three
year-. The hill pas-cd by 59yeas to 32 nays.
(See bill in another column.)
THURSDAY Mareh 17th.—Among the
bills introduced in the Senate, we notice one
by Mr. Lowery protesting against the pass
age by Congress of the Sherman Funding
bill, and in favor of the General Govern
ment furnishing and redeeming the whole
currency of the country to all who want and
will pay_ for it in the bonds of the Govern
ment or in coin.
The Police bill came up on the third read
ing, but was finally postponed and made tbe
special order for to-morrow.
The House bill relative to the District
Court was reported favorable, providing
that after the fir*t Monday in December the
court shall consist of one president and four
associate Judges, and two associate Judges
shall be elected in October.
The Senate bill to aid the construction of
railroads from Susquehanna to the Great
Lakes was considered, and passed,
In the House, the above railroad bill was
passed to a third reading, as was also the
House bill increasing the number of Su
preme Court Judges to seven was amended
so as to allow one of the Judges to be des
ignated to sit on the Common Pleas of sev
eral countips when business requires it.
FRIDAY March 18th—In the Senate Mr.
Purtuan introduced the following resolution;
Resolved , That William W. Irwin having
appeared before the Senate Committee on
the Treasury investigation, and refused to be
sworn and give evidence to the said commit
tee in such matters as the Senate deems
necessary to the performance of the legisla
tive duties of the Senate, the said William
W. Irwin is hereby adjudged guilty of con
tempt, and therefore the .Speaker of the
Senate be and is hereby authorized and di
reeled to issm- his warrant to the Sergeant
at Arms authorizing and requiring him to
produce at the bar of the Senate William
W. Irwin, there to be held and subject to
such orders as the Senate may make in the
premises.
The new Philadelphia Police bill was then
taken up on the third reading, and passed.
_ln the House, the Senate bill extending
aid to the Jersey Shore, Buffalo and Pine
Creek Railway, the Pittsburgh, Virginia
and Chariestown, up the Monongahela val
ley, the Clearfield and Buffalo, and the Eric
and Allegheny Railroads, was considered,
and passed.
THE OFFENSE of the captain of the Bom
bay, in runniug down the Oneida, seems
even worse than it was at first reported to b*.
It is also shown, beyond a peradventure,
that Eyre left the Oneida when he knew
that she was in imminent danger, and there
is evidence that he knew her nationality and
exulted in bis achievement. That is, he
was certainly a brute, and very possibly a
deliberate murderer. The friends of the
men sunk by the Bombay have a special in
terest, but all Americans have a national in
terest. and all men a human interest, in see
ing that the extent of this man's guilt be
ascertained, and that be be made tc suffer
for it.
THE TKMPEKANCE BILE.
The following is the text of tb* u— l
ance bill now before the Legislature of Penn
sylvania. It has been reported from tho
House Committee favorably and was passed
by that body on the 16th inst. We hope to
see it finally passed and become a law before
the Legislature adjourns, so that the people
of every election district may decide the
matter in accordance with the wishes of the
majority.

TIIE Internal Revenue Bureau is prepa
ring for the most thorough assessment of the
income tax that has ever been made. Spe
cial instructions arc being issued to asses
sors to see to it that every |ierson believed
to be in the receipt of income or property
on which tax should be paid, be notified of
the Government demand, and required to
answer the questions of the tax list in a lull
and satisfactory manner. The, intention of
Mr. Delano is to secure the collection of this
tax, as far as possible without evasion, so
that its burden may be more equally borne
than hitherto. People of all classes, there
fore, who have made anything over and
above the usual exemption during the past
year, may as well begin to get their answers
ready, as assessors will begin during the
present month, and will prosecute with
vigor.

Q ROVER A BAKER'S
SEW I N G M ACHI X E S .
The following arc selected from thousands
of testimonials of similar character, as ex
pressing the reasons for the preference for
the GROVER A" BAKER Machines over all
•others.
* * "1 like the Grover A Baker Machine,
in the first plaae, because, if I bad any other
1 should still want a Grover & Baker; and,
having a Grover A Baker, it answers the pui
pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety
of work and it is easier to learn than any oth
i er."— Mrs. J. C. Croly [Jenny June.)
* * "I have bad several years' experi
ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which
has given me great satisfaction. I think the
Grover A Baker Machine is more easily man
aged, and less liable to get out of order, I
prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."—
Mrs. Dr. Watts, New York.
* * "I have had one in my family for
some two years; and from what I know of its
workings, and trom the testimony of many of
my friends who use the same, I can hardly
see how auytbing could be more complete or
give better satisfaction."— Mrs. Gen. Grant.
* * "I believe it to be the best, all things
considered, of any that 1 have known. It is
very simple and easily learned: the sewing
from the ordinary spools is a great advan
tage. the stick is entirely reliable; it does or
namental work beautifully; it is not liable to
get out of order."— Vrs. A. M. Spooner, 36
Bond Street, Brooklyn.
* 0 "I am acquainted with the work of
the principal machines: and I prefer the Gro
ver A Baker to them all, because I consider
tbe.stitch more elastic. I have work now in
the bouse which was done nine years ago,
which is still good."— Mrs. Dr. McCready,
A 'o. 43 East TAd street, New York.
* * "More than two-thirds of all the
sewing done in my family for the last two'
years has been done by Grover A Baker's
j Machine, aud I never bad a garment rip or
need mending, except those rents which
frolicsome boys will make in whole cloth. It
; is in my opinion by far the most valuable of
any I bare tried."— Mrs. Henry Ward
i Beecher.
\ * * "Tbe G over A Baker Sewing Ma
i chine has rendered in every resf ect the most
perfect satisfaction. It combines so many
i advantages with beauty of execution and
economy in price that it ia a necessity in ev
i ery household."— Mrs. Governor Geary, liar
risburgh. Pa.
* * "I have had the Grover A Baker
: Machine for ten or twelve years in constant
use in my house. I have seen and known
every kind of family sewiug, both personal
and household, accomplished upon the Gro
ver A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac
tion of ail who were concerned." — Hers. Ste
' phen 11. Tyng.
* * "I find the Grover A Baker stitch
will wear as long as the garments do—out
wear tbe garment, in fact. The stitch will
not break on bias seams, when stretched, as
others do; and neither does it draw the work."
—Mrs. Dr. Whiting. 4 East '2lth street, New
| York.
\ * * "We have n Grover A Baker Sewing
Machine for seven years in constant use,
: hemming, felling, tucking, and everything
that the fingers can do. It is preferred over
; all others on account of its durability of work,
elasticity and strength of stitch, ease of move
ment, and simplicity of construction." — Mrs.
General Buel.
* * "There could be no greater com
fort in a family than a Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machine. I have used one for the last
nine or ten years, and I think it is decidedly
the beßt family Sewing Machine."—Mrs. Alice
\ B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Dr. Whipple, Sec.
I Am. M iss. Association.
■ * * "I have bad an opportunity of ex
aminine and using other varieties of machines:
but I very much prefer the Grover A Baker
; stitch, for strength, elasticity, and beauty. I
1 have seen DO other machine so simple in its
, construction, wo easily understood and kept
| in order."—Mrs. E. D. Sanborn, St. Louis.

inr a. ... 11 l ' ,K,Pm " THEBLOOD,
every country an<Pam's?!, e J* *" ""frersally re
but efficient purgative FlLL.'Ta# o *' was ever
•on it, that it it a more reliable and lar more in J
factual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried U, know tbet it cured them ; tbote who have
not, know that it curet their neighbors and friendt,
and all know that what it doet once it done al
ways— that it never failt through any fault or
neglect, of lU composition. We have "thuuaanda
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cores
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them. Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates : containing neither calo
mel or anv deleterious drug, they may be tak~n
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleas
ant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu
late it into healthy act!on---reinove the obstruc
tions of the stomach, bowls, liver, and other or.
guns of the body, restoring their irregular action
to health, and by correcting, wherever they exiat,
such derangements us are the first origin of dis
ease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which
these PILLS rapidly cure:—
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIST
LESSHEBS. LANGUOR and LOSS OF APPE
TITE, they should be taken moderately to stim
ulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone
and aotiot,
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various
symptoms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK
HEACACHF, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK
NESS, BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS FEVERS,
they should be judiciously taken for each case, to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cause it.
For DYSENTERY or DIARRIKEA, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For RHEUMATI M, GOUT, GRAVEL, PAL
PJTATJON OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE
SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they should be con
tinuously taken, as required, to change the dis
eased action of the system. With such change
those complaints disappear.
For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be ta
ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER PILL, lake one or two PILLS
to promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dise stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
end invigorates the system. Hence it is often
advantageous where no serious derangement ex
ists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds
that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided
ly better, from their cleansing and renovating ef
fect on the digestive apparatus.

8 . G . MASON'S
DOUBLE-ACTING NON-FREEZING
CAST-IRON FORCE PUMP.
This Tump has been awarded the PIRST PRE
MIUM at the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva
nia State Fairs.
This Pump never freezes, from the fact that, the
moment you stop pumping, the water gradually
drops back to a level with the water in the well;
consequently you always get PURE COLD
WATER. It will force water any distance through
pipe, and in case of FIRE, is valuable, as water
may be thrown to the distance of from fifty to
sixty feot from its mouth, by attaching.! or four
feet of small hose. It is DOUBLE ACTING,
and can be worked with ease. It is just the
thing to wash wagons, buggies, and water gar
dens, Ac., and every farmer and mechanic should
have one of these pumps. As for Health, this
Pump has been pronounced by our leading Phy
sicians as being one of the very best pumps now
in use. It is generally known that wooden pumps
hold the water in the stalk, and of course it bastes
more or less of the wood. This Pump leaves all
the water drop back just as soon as you stop
pumping, to the level of the water in the well.
So you get PURE COLD WATER from the bot
torn of the well every time you draw a bucket
full. There arc about 92 of these pumps now in
use in this county, for one and two years, and
tbey have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not
one of these Has froien since they have been put
. in. For reference 1 can give some of the very
best men in our town and county. Call and see
this pump work before purchasing any o'her.

A YER'S HAIR VIGOR,
FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GRE A T DESIDERA TVM OF THE AGE
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or
gray hair it toon rettored to itt original color and
the glott and frethneet of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness
often, thougb not always, cured by its use.
Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decay
ed. But such as remain can be saved tor useful
ness by this application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
and vigorous. Its orcasional use will prevent the
hair from turning gray or falling off, and conse
quently prevent baldness. Free from those dele
terious substances which make tome preparations
dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm ib If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre aod a grateful perfume.
