The immerrse sale of these Powderi during

from their use.
They are confidently recommended not only
as a preventive, but as a complete cure for
all diseases incident to the HORSE, COW or
HOG, as Loss of Appetite, : Coughs, Heavei,
,Yellow Water, Distemper, Glanders, &c" &c.
By their use the Horse's Appetite is impror
ed, all derangements of the digestive organs
corrected, softening the skin, and giving to
the coat a sleek and shining appearance, and
may be used with perfect safety at all times,
as it, contains no ingredients which can injure
horse, whether sick or well.
They cleanse the breathing apparatus by
ejecting from the air cells coagulated matter,
or that formation which so severely clogs
them, causing a tightness in breaching, and by
their peculiar action on that part, they cause
the mucus membrane lb resume its natural
dimensions, thus equalizing the circul atql a of
the blood and restoring the aisteuded vessels
to their natural size. -
For fattening cattle .they are invaluable,
also poisessing peculiar properties in increas
ing the quantity of milk in Cows, thereby giv
ing them an importance and value which
should place them within the hands of all in

All diseases to which the Hog is subject, As
Coughs, Ulcers in the Lungs and Liver, and as
a general purifier of the blood we guarantee
their efficacy, if once fairly tned.

Influence of railr

ity of railroads on the hatching of eggs
haii been mentioned in Berne French pa
pers. It has been found at there aro
scarcely may chickens-raisedln all those
poultry yards which are situated in the
immediate neighborhood of thtrails_of a
much frequented road. This Net has
been Observed in ,various pats of Prance,
and is supposed to result from the earth-
quake-like trembling or shaking of the
soil caused by a passing railroad train, i
which exerts an unfavorable influence on'
The eggs. It would • be, indeed, interest-
ing to learn whether something similar'
to this has been.noticed on this side of

,A new method of shoeing refractory,
taunanageable horses.—A thick blanket
I is in the first place thrown over the head
of the horse to prevent it from seeing
I anything. A man....then takes 'his posi
tion in front of the horse, and on the first
sign of kicking or resistance of any kind,
'administers one or two smart blows on the
side of its head, leaving his hands for
some time on the smitten part. The
horse gets frightened and allows the
shoeing process to be finished without
interruption. This simple remedy has
succeeded where all the previously used
means have failed.
Freckles are removed fn a surprisingly
short time, fiy a perfectly new process
which probably no one besides the writer

Take powdered nitre (saltpetre,) any

affected by the finger, moistened and
dipped in the powder. This is the whole
proceeding; when properly done and ju

4 rhe Working Farmer has a report of a
recent discussion before the American
Institute Farmers' Club, in which this
point was canvassed. The remarks bf
W. S. Carpenter were to the point. He
contended that the orchard fertilizers
should cover the entire area penetrated
by the roots of the tree, which would cor
respond very nearly with the space cov
ered by its branches. In other words,
that . the roots projected laterally, from

the latter. That the4e rats may lie read

HAIR WASH FOR DANDRUFF.
A correspondent writing to us requesla
a receipt for "preparingbear's grease," to
prevent his.hair falling out, and to free
his head from dandruff. We are not ac
quainted with any preparation of bear's
grease, which is capable of effecting such
important results. If there is any virtue
in bear's grease to accomplish such objects
we think then - genuine article must be
superior to any chemical preparation of
it, - and the only way to obtain it pure to
a certainty, is to nab "Bruin," and make
sure of his pork.
We give, as follows,' however, a very
good recipe forYnaking a hair wash which
will remove dandruff and keep the scalp'
clean and soft so as to prevent the hair in
ordinary circumstance,, from failing out:
Take one pint of alcohol and t a hi,•,poon
ful of castor oil-, mix time together in li
bottle I.y shaking them well for a few
minutes, then scent it witlidrops of oil of
Tivender.. Aleoliel dissolves castor ell;
like'gitui camphor, leaving the liquid or
wash quite clear. It does not seem to
dissolve any other unctuous oil so per

Jelin W. Geary and the Soldiers of, the
Mexican War.
READ T READ T READ I
(From We Goolus of Liberty.]
John W. Geary, the candidate'of the
Radical Abolitionists for Governor of
Pennsylvania, was elected Lieutenant
ColoneL of the Second Pennsylvania
Regiment Of volunteers in the war with
Mexico, upon the organization of that
Regiment in the city of Pittsburg.-
-William B. Roberts,- of this county, was
the Colonel commanding, and died in
the city of Mexico. After his death ("teary
was promoted -to the Coloncicy. The
Fayette County Volunteers were attach
ed to this Regiment, and known as coin
patty H. They distinguished themselves
for 'gallant eonduct and intrepid bravery
in all the important eng:ezetnents from
Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, inclu
ding the bloody assaults upon the gates
of that city. They continued in service
' until the war ended, and ,were honorably
discharged. The survivors, upon their
return home, were received with well
earned and highly distinguishea,honors
by their fellow citizens. Here at the
County Seat, they were honored by a
splendid reception, participated in by the
citizens of the county generally, as well
as by the'ladies, who greeted their return
with all that delicate attention tunl re
fined taste peculiar to their sex.
At Connellsville, also, they were the
recipients of a, handsome ovation, the
• heartfelt tribute of the citizens and ladies
f that place and vicinity. The reception
at Connelisvillo took, place on ,Saturday,
July 15, 1848. The reception Speech was
made by Dr. James C. - Cummings, and
the response by Sergeant Peter A. Johns.
After the delivery of speeches, and par
taking an elegant dinner prepared for the
occasion; the returned soldiers met togeth
er and unanimously adopted a preamble
and series of resolutions, which show up
the character of John \V Geary in such
a light as would render his election as
Governor an everlasting disgrace to the
State of Pennsylvania. These resolutions
it will be seen, were unanimously adopted
by true and tried soldiers,. by men who
knew Geary well had by men who did
' not hesitate to proclaim their estimate of
his character, and that, too; not in tender,
dainty sentences, but in well expressed
and forcible littiguage. The testimon rof
these proceedings gains additional force
from tilfb fact that it was uttered at such
a time and "under circumstances as to
exempt it .entirely from any;imputation
of political influences. 'Mite-proceedings
were published- in the papers of this coun
ty, lay request of the soldiers, on the 27th
of July, 18:48, and here they are. Again
we say, read, read, read.
The following preamble and resolutions
were offered by the returned volunteers,
of company H, 2d Pennsylvania regiment
and unanimously adopted by the•meet

lo.me of the remaining, members of the
Fayettc volunteers has again placed them
in the position of citizens of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, and enabled
them to speak and assert their rights, they
now embrace this occasion, the first op
portunity since their return to express
their deep and ABIDNG
INDIGA
TION of the conduct of JOHN W. GEA
RY,, since he was elected to the command
of the 2d Pennsylvania Regiment, at the
City of Mexico. The said JOHN W.
GEARY procured his election by a mere
plurality of votes, by FALSEHOOD and
DECEPTION—whiIe he was promising
to give company H the privilege of elect
ing their own officers, according to the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania, lie, the
said GEARY, bargained with others for
votes, promising and giving appoint
ments in said company H to men from
other corn imp iemi who might answer his
pee u iar purpose. Time law of Conrress of
the 13th of May, 1848, calling for Volun
teers for the war with 31exico, has this
provision :
" SEc. 5. And he it further enacted, that
the said Volunteers so offering their ser
vices shall be accepted fiy the President,
in companies , battalions, squadrons and
regiments, whose officers shall be ap
pointed in the manner prescribed by law
in the several States and territories to
which such companies, battalions, squad
rons and regiments shall respectively
belong."
The said GEARY, while he availed
himself of this law to get himself into'a
high office, refused the same right to com
pany H, which legally and properly be
longed to them ' . threfore,
Resolved, That we, the remaining mem
bers of the Faykte County Volunteers,
view the conduct of the said JOHN W.
GEARY towards company H as an OUT
RAGE upon their just rights, as secured
to them by the laws of Pennsylvania as
u 1.41 as the laws of Congress. The whole
course and conduct of the said GEARY
being INCONSISTENT WITH THE
CHARACTER OF A GENTLEMAN
OR MAN OF HONOR—it was treating
us as a set of men who did not know their
rights, and could not appreciate them
—it was CORRUPT and MERCENARY
in all its bearings, characteristic of a

OF USURPED AUTHORITY ON THE
PART OF THE SAID JOHN W. GEA
RY—after he, the said GEARY, had
SURREPTITIOUSLY and VILLAIN
OUSLY SUPPRESSED the order of the
adjutant general of this State (issued.by
direction of Governor Shunk,) directing
him to fill all vacancies in the 2d regi
ment of Pennsylvania Volunteers by elec
tion—taking advantage of his STOLEN
authority to cover up his WORSE than
BASE MOTIVES, and to injure the
hard earned fame of a brave and gallant
officer.

In his letter to the recent Johnson
meeting in Brooklyn, Major Gen. Dix
said :
"I am of opinionikat it is both politic
and just to bring badk into the Union as
speedily as possible, the great body of the
Southern people who were forced or de
iffadd into a treasonable resistance to tife
authority of the Government."
In his letter to the St. Louis meeting,
held to rejoice over the proclamation of
peace, Major General Frank P. Blair said,:
" Those who have suffered nothing and
done nothing, but who, on the contrary,
have made the war an occasion for profit
and a means for perSonal advancement—
staying at home and making loud profes
*dons of loyalty—these are the greatest
and only otacies to the perfect restora
