contains 70 lbs. animal matter,yielding

Also 80 to 90Ibs. earthy bone Phosphate of lime,
30 lbs. of which are soluble phosphate.
It combines all the advantages of the best

By reason of its .greater concentration, we re
commend 20 per et. leas by weight to be used

those Felling at 20 per ct. snore per ton.—
Hence ita economy.

" Flour of Bone."
WE will give a money guarantee of the
purity of this article. It is pure un
steamed, unburnt bone, reduced to the fineness of
dour, which adds 100 per ct. to its value. It
is as quick and active as acid dissolved bone,
hence its value is vastly greater, because it
contains neither acid nor water, which neces
sarily add weight, and. reduce the quantity of
valuable elements. We recommend 250 lbs.
to be used in place of 300 lbs. Super Phosphate

Where are you going so fast 1'
There's a valley to cross, and a river to Ihrd,
There's a clasp of the hand and a parting word,
And a tremulous sigh for the past, old man;
The beautiful vanished past.
The road has been rugged and rough, old man,
To your feet It's rugged and rough;
But you see a dear being with gentle eyes,
Who shared in your labor and sacrifice;
Ah! that has been sunshine enough, old man,
For you and me, sunshine enough.
How lona since you matted o'er the hill, old man?
Of life o'er tie top of the hill
Were tnige beautiful valleys on t'other side . ?
Were there flowers, and trees with their branches
wide?
To shut out the heat of the sun, old man,
The heat of the fervid sun.
And how did you cross the waves, old man,
Of sorrow—the fearful waves?
Did yotflay your treasures by, one by one,
With an aching heart and "God's will be done,"
Under the wayside - dust, old man,
in.the graves 'neath the wayside dust?

There la SOMA' and labor for all, old man—
Alas! there is sorrow for all;
And you, peradventure, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitened your hair,
And they've whitened your heart, as well, old
man,
Thank God! your heart as well.
Ton are now at the foot of the hill, old man—
At last at the foot of the hill I
The sun has gone down In a golden glow,
And the Heavenly City Is Just below;
Go In through the pearly gate, old man—
The beautiful pearly gate.

In a recent number of the Sehnellpbat
We find an account of a method of com
pelling the wheat plant.td become peren
nial, like grass, and to perfect its grains
annually without annual sowing of seed,
whieh has been successfully practiced at
Constance, Germany. It was discovered
by the steward of an estate, named Kern.
His method, after ploughing and manur
ing Oland and sowing it with summer
or winter wheat, is to mow it in the spring,
before the ear makes its appearance.—
This process is repeated several times in
the season, and the product is used as
hay. The plant is then allowed to grow
and be cut in the ordinary manner. The
next year it ripens earlier and bears more
abundantly than when treated in the or
dinary manner. It is manured in the
autumn like grass in the meadows, and
in the spring cleared from weeds. In
this manner, from one field, four success
ive harvests have been gathered. "
FALL PLOWING CLAY LANDS
.Our farmers are learning one very im
portant thing in farming our clay lands ;
that is, fall plowing, if done at the right
time and well done. Although It does
not accord with the views of our exam
piers, yet experience has taught us its
great benefit. No machinery yet invent
ed can fine our chiy land like the frosts
of winter. I can convince any one if
he will only look on a piece of barley
here, part fall plowed, and part plowed
this spring. J But the benefit to.the crop
is not all; we can plow for one-half the
cost in the fall. Our teams are in good
condition, and ready, with a small ex
pense for feed. I close, and may say
more on the subject of plowing, tome oth
er time, as that is a very important part
of farming.—N. H. N., Geneva, New
York.

We lost, a few months since, a tine
cow with this disease, and there has
been considerable fatality with it
_in
some of our large dairy districts._ A
practical farmer informs us that, in his
own dairy, he has found nearly a certain
cure to be a large dose of laudanum, not
less than six to eight ounces. It has also
proved very successful In many other
cases outside of his own dairy. With
our own now—and we believe it is a gen !
eral accompaniment of the disease—
there was a violent dashing about with
the head and horns indicating great ex
citement of the brain. The laudanum
alleviates this, - and by temporarily
checking this excitement, allows time
for the disease to be thrown off by tfie
natural efforts of the system. Whatever
may be the theory of its action, how
ever, the favorable results in nine cases
out of ten have been very remarkable,—

HOW TO COOK A
A beefsteak ought always to be broiled
and never fried ; but the following meth
od of cooking is recommended by Mrs.
Hutton, which even those who are accusr
tomed xo frying may be willing to try:
"The frying pan being wiped very dry,
place it upon the stove, and let It become
hot—very hot. In the meantime, mangle
the steak—if it chance to be sirloin so
much the better—pepper and salt it, then
lay it in the hot, dry pan, which cover as
tightly as possible. When the raw flesh
touches the heated pan, of course it
seethes and adheres to it, but in a few
seconds it becomes loosened and juicy.—
Every half minute turn the steak; but be
careful to keep it as much as possible un
dercover. When nearly done lay a small
piece of butter upon it if you want much
gravy, and a tablespoonfulvfstrong coffee.
In three minutes from the time steak
first goes into the pan it is ready for the
table. This method of cooking makes
the most delicious, delicately broiled
steak, full of juice, yet retaining the
healthful beefy flavor that any John Bull
could require. The same method may be
applied to mutton chops, only they re
quire a little longer cooking to prevent
them from being rare. An excellent
gravy may be made for them by adding
a little cream, thickened with a pinch of
floor, in& which when off the fire and
partly cool, stir in the yoke of an egg,
well beaten I ,

WASHINGTQN, D. C., July 10, 1866.
Your immediate and earnest attention
is invited to the annexed call for a Na
tional Convention, is:ued by the Nation
al Union Executive Committee, and the
accompanying endorsement thereof by
prominent gentlemen who are well
known toThe country.
The undersigned have been duly ap
pointed a committee to facilitate and ex
pedite, by correspondence and otherwise,
such action as may seem necessary to
- ring togetherlat Philadelphia a Convent
tion of the ablest men of the nation, with
out regard to their party antecedents,
who favor, generally, the restoration pol
icy President Johnson has advocated
as against the dangerous course pursued
by the majority of Congress.
We deem it proper to suggest that it is
desirable that there be sent from each
State four delegates at large and two from
each Congressional district who favor the
principles set forth in the call, to be ta
ken from the supporters of Lincoln and
Johnson in 1804, and a like number from
their opponents. Also, four delegates
from each Territory, and four from the
District of Columbia.. In those States
whereof a portion of the people were
lately in rebellion, a corresponding
of delegates may be chosen by the
people generally who accept the princi
ples stated in the call. It is not intend
ed, however, that these suggestions shall
interfere with any arrangements already
made for the selection of delegates. It is
entirely to the political organizations in
the different States and districts that con
cur in . the principles of the call to decide
whether they will choose their delegates
by joint or separate meetings, by their
executive committees.
We have been authorized to appoint
temporary executive committees in the
States where the same are presumed-to be
necessary. You are, therefore, request
ed to act as such committee, and to adopt
immediate measures to secure a full dele
gation to the proposed Convention, not
interfering, however, with the action
which existing organizations may have
taken for the same object. Your action
will be such as to aid such movements—
the purpose of your appointment being
to provide for the selection of delegates if
no adequate preliminary arrangements
have yet been made.
The day fixed for the National Conven
tion is near, and we desire to impress on
you and on all friends of this cause, that
It is of the first importance that district
or State Conventions, or State executive
committees, immediately appoint dele
gates. And it is particularly requested
that a list of delegates and committees
appointed be speedily forwarded to the
chairman of this committee.
In conclusion, we have to add that the
paramount object of this movement is to
bring into a great National Conference,
from all parts of our distracted country,
wise and
.patriotic men, who may devise
a plan of political action calculated to re
store national unity, fraternity and har
mony, and secure to an afflicted people
that which is so sincerely desired by all
good filen, the practical blessings of an
enduring peace.

HUAI! AN HONEST REPUBLICAN PA.
PER SAYS.
We Commend to the notice of the Re
publican newspapers of this county the
following honest expression of opinion
from the Selinsgrove Post, always a con
sistent Republican journal :
"Duiing the past few weeks we have
been asked: 'Are you in favor of ,Ans
drew Johnson's course?" To which we
must •emphatically say yes! Ile stands
precisely, without fear or favor, where
the Union Republican party placed him
in 1961—iiit the Baltimore platform. We
have pursued, in regard to the Lincoln-
Johnson policy, the rule which we al
ways observe lu the discharge of ou rjdu ty
as journalists—we have interrogated our
conscience as to what we ought to do, and
that fathful guide tells us that we ought
to, with all our might, mind and strength,
sustain the statesmanlike and patriotic
policy of the President of the United
States; and renounce, with all our abili
ty, the evil designed party—Stevens,
Sumner dr, Co.—who would, if they pos
sessed the power, lead us down into_ the
darkness of despotism,hr the shame and
confusion of anarchy, for their personal
aggrandizement."
le - The Disunion press have not denied
the charge, made against Geary and the
State Central Committee of his party, that
they waited upon Gov. Curtin and urged
him to ignore the people and to prevent
them from voting on the Rump amend
ment, by calling the last Legislature
together, to adopt it immediately. Will
the voters of Pennsylvania cast their bal
lots for a mall who has thus insulted their
intelligence, ignored their prerogatives,
and counseled a usurpation of their dear
est rights? Will they vote for a man who
wants to take "snap judgment" upon
them, and to prevent them from having
an opportunity of saying whether we shall
have a Union or not—whether or not ne
gro suffrage shall be forced upon the
Southern States—and whether the word
"white" shall be struck out or remain in
their State constitutions? We hope they
will not. Let them ignore - Geary as
Geary has ignored them.
BEZir - The Bumpers are not so liberal to
the soldiers of the war of 1812' a.s they
have proved themselves to be to the
"colored citizens." After many sharp
practices upon the bill to grant pensions
to those soldiers and their widows and
orphans, the Dlsunionists were finally
compelled on Friday week to vote almost
directly upon it. On motion of Kelley
(Disunionist} the bill was referred to the
Committee' on Invalid Pensions by a
vote of ayes 74; nays 47—the Democracy
voting solidly against the reference.
Thus the bill for white soldiers of 1812
and their widows and orphans was
quashed by the Stevens-Gearyites. The
money already squandered upon lazy
Africans would have made all of them
comfortable and happy.

48TH YEAR. NO. 43,
THE DissournoN OF THE ILEIPCIII.I.
CAN PARTY.
While the Republican newspapers of
Pennsylvania are to a.great extent igno
ring alt the vital issues of the day and
contenting themseh es with heaping stale
slang abuse upon the Democratic party
and its candidates, they follow the lead
of Thad. Stevens and of John W. Forney
with a blind infatuation that is wonder
ful. We admire their stolid stupidity
and would not have them change their
tactics. They do not see that their party
is in the very throes of dissolution.—
Whetber they will wake up to a realiza
tion df their true situation before the
coming election, we neither know nor
care. ITheirdestinyissealed. The hand
writing is on the wall and it cannot be
erased; Here and there a Republican
editor 1 is to be found who has political
wisdom sufficient to enable him to fore
tell th impending destruction that must
follow in the way they are pursuing.—
The Pittsburg Cbitimereial exhibits some
strong symptoms of alarm, but we know
no other paper in this State which is not
conterit to have its eyes bandaged so that
it cannot see. In vain does the New York
•Timeairge the adoption of a wiser policy.
Those who follow the lead of Stevens and
Greeley dare not break loose from the
traces lin which they are securely har
neasedl.l We do not suppose they will
heed the following plain warning. The
Times imys : ,
The Union party is not united. The
present condition of the party exhibits
31
strong and dangerous dissensions rather
than armony. And in the regular ar
rangei eats of the party no provision has
been ade for eliciting the prevalent
opinio in regard to questions that have
arisen ince the last Presidential election
as wel as since the election of the mem
bers now in Congress.
On the principle that quit should be
hidden which is not pleasant, and that
that which we. would fain not believe
should be concealed, perhaps, there is
gross Wrong in these confessions touching
the - position of the Union party. It may
perch nee be.eriminal to disturb the ho
sann: - of those who cry peace when there
is no I ace, and who write about the
party . s though no difference of opinion
exist • • In its ranks. But we confess our
inabili y to discover either wisdom or
hones , in this course. Disguise It as we
may, tie unpleasant fact does not admit
of mistake. The Union party is divided
so dirt ed and distracted that its defeat
will he nevitable unless sonzething he mean
while one to determine authoritatively,
its col se on the question of restoration, its
cond it •ns and consequences.
The Lancaster Intelligences well says
that a ter such a bold and authoritative
exposi on of the true condition of the
Repub lean party, the Democracy of
Penns lvania can afford to laugh at all
the lit e gibes, the'many querulous com
plain, - and the Infinitude of mean and
meant glees lies with which Republican
newsp pers are constantly filled.. They
can sa ely refuse to deign any reply to
these ...hatless barbs, being contenb in
in the meantime with standing firmly
by the great principles which are daily
commanding themselves to all thought
ful me .. When•the Convention which
nomin ted General Geary committed the
&pub lean party of this State to all the
crudes hemes of the fanatics in Congress,
the fa • of the organization and of its
weak id vulgar candidate was sealed:
Disu ioniam in a Bad Way. —The New
York imes, (Republican) says :
"Th: call for a National Union conven
tion h - operated _upon the more violent
of the radicals as asearlet cloak is sup
posed to operate upon an angry bull. It
lut‘incensed them almost to madness."
The - - ew York Express says :
"The disruption of the Disunion party
(calling itself 'Union') shows itself more
upon the call for the Philadelphia Union
Convention, than upon anything else.
"Republicans and Democrats, who act
ed with the administration during the
war, are now, everywhere, more or less,
as we see by the public journals, going
into the convention. The response to the
call is universal from lowa to Maine—
and the convention, in point of numbers
and representation, will be a perfect suc
cess."
IM.The Radical disu,nionists greatly
fear the adjournment of Congress. They
think that when that event occurs, they
will be all turned away from the public
erib, at which they are now feeding.—
They are shamelessly prolonging the ses
sion, and recklessly spynding the money
of the heavily burdened tax-payers, sim
ply to prevent, if possible, any changes
irr the offices they now hold. If they
were assured that they would not be dis
turbed in their present snug positions,
they would adjourn ,to-morrow; but,
feeling somewhat uncertain on this point,
they want Congress to sit forever, and
thus hope to have a perpetual stream of
public plunder flowing into their pockets.
And these are the fellows who are all the
timeprating about a "bread and butter
brigade !"—Pcitriot & Uaion.
'The rumor that General Geary is
to be withdrawn from the Gubernatorial
contest is daily gaining strength. The
reason of this stragetic movement, how
ever, is not the absolute certainty of de
feat that stares him in the face, but is, we
learn, the fact that he has been tendered
a high command in Victor Emanuel's
army, since the latter'a uncomfortable
defeat by the Austrians. It is thought
by V. E. that the prestige of Geary's
name and his great fame as a warrior,
will promptly rescue from destruction
the Sardinian forces. We understand
that the General is pre ring a farewell
letter to his old friend Major Samuel
Maguire, clearly defining, his position
upon this all-important subject. —.Age,
Lir Should Gov. Curtin call an extra
session of the Legislature to adopt the
Rump Constitutional patch, and thus
entail taxes upon the people of the State
to the extent of at least two hundred
thousand dollars, the people will elect a
new Legislatnre next fall which will not
dare to elect Curtin to the United States
Senate. We may safely say, therefore,
that Curtin dare not ignore the people's
right to have a voice in the matter by call
ing an extra session.—Patriot 4fi• Union.
lair The friends of negro suffrage in
Pennsylvania will vote for General Geary.
He is known to be in favor of that meas
ure, and is thoroughly endorsed by all
the advocates of negro equality in the
State. Voters who are in favor of a white
man's government will bear this in mind
at the ballot-box.

opinion of the Supreme Court, open the
Aet of Congress of March 3, Mai, ie that
- "It means that the forfeits re which It
prescribes, like all other p e nis itiea for de
sertion, mast be oljurfgc to the convict
ed person after trial by a court martial
and scnocnee approect. For the movie
tion and sentence of such 9 court acre
can br no subelieute."
In regard to clertion board "tribu
nals," the opinion Is that—
"It is not iu the power of Congress to
confer upon such a tribunal, which is ex.
elusively of State creation, Jurisdiction
to try oneness against the United States.
* The doctrine seems a plain one that
Congress cannot vest any of the judicial
power of the United States in the courts
of any other govcramcat or sovereignty.
* Congr(.cs eannot.inaks a board of Slain
election officers competent to try whether es
person has been guilt yof an off,:um againsd
the United States, and, if they find them
guilty, to enforce a part of the prescribed
penalty.
"If therefore the act of March 3, IRO3,
really contemplates the infliction of its
prescribed penalty or any part of it with
out due process of law, or if It attempts
to confer upon the election officers of a
State the power to determine whether
there has been a violation of the act in
curring the penalty, and to enforce the
penalty or any part of it, It may well be
doubted whether it is not transgressive of
the authority vested in Congress by the
Congifiltition.
The opinion of the court Is, howevet,
that Congress (lid not - contemplate giving
to State election officers the power to re
ject votes under the act. As Cong
did not and could not delegate judicial
powers to election officers ; and as Con
gress has no authority to delegate power
to any State or any court or officer gra
State to try offi ?lees against the Federal
Government; and as tlto•act of Congress
is explicit upon the point that no man
can be disfranchised until lawfully tried
by court mai-till, convicted and sentence
approved, it is therefore, perfectly plain
that TIM STATE LAW IS A NULLITY, and
that election officers will be liable to severe
punishment for rejecting votes in accord
ance with it.
It is also clear that any person who
shall attempt to intimidate a citizen front
voting, by threat* of c 11 . ,/ kind, will also
be liable to heavy punishment under the
general election laws.
Election tiff - leers who may presume to
exercise' the forbidden judietal powers
alluded to, can rest assured that they wilt
be prowymtal with the utmost rigor!
Will the newspaper above-mentioned
please publish the decision of the Su

or even the extracts from It which we
have quoted, and thus give its readers et

does so, it statement may get some of its

them, and for which they will doubtless
