RENOVATE YOUR
FEATHERS
rpliff undersigned offers to the citizens of Get
-1 tysburg and vicinity a rare chance to avail
themselves of the unparalled benefits of this un
rivalled
Feather Dressing and Renovating Machine,
The most successful patent of the kind ever offer
ed to the public. And we venture the prediction
that it never will be excelled, for it proves to be
exactly what all conditions and qualities of Feath
ers, from entirely new to old and much worn
'need ,
eed to render them as perfect aaage, quality and
condition will admit of their being made.
The Cleansing is Done Entirely by Steam.
No fire coming near the Feathers, consequently
no pouibllity of burning, scorching, or otherwise
luring them. By this process all moths are de
stroyed and removed, the Feathers cleansed, the
fibres relieved from their matted position, giving
a bed an astonishing mrcease In bulk, often more
than one-hall: also removing all disagreeable
scent which Is so common to new. as well as old
Feathers. In fact giving the appearance and es
sential qualities of New Postilion', and reliev
ing them from all liability to moths by the remov
al of all gummy or glutinous matter from the
quill. Our facilities are such, that by short no.
tlix, we can take and return beds the same day,
well dressed and ready for immediate use.
We warrant entire satisfaction or make no
charge. All persons, especially ladies, are invited
to 81.11 and see the machine in operation, at Pax
ton's store room, on Baltimore street, and Judge
for themselves.

THE FLOINAZICZ OF A COUNISII46I
It came about in this way : I had mar
ried and was going to mike my fortune,
and therefore, (having that laudable end
in view,) left a good situation in Yorkshire
to settle down in Liverpool as a merchant
"oh my own account," and commence to
brake it without delay. I had not much
capital, and so resolved to economize at
first. In course of time I imagined the
tidy brougham and the country house
across the Mersey would certainly come;
and one serene September evening, many
years ago, I was walking up and down St.,
George's landing -stage building castles in
the air, wopdering whether rents were
high at New Brighton, and whether Kate
would prefer a pony photon to a brougham.
I am not sorry to add I still reside in a
modest house up Edge Hill way, and that
I come to business as Cresar went to
Rome, according to Joe Miller, "summa
diligentia," on the top of an omnibus. I
was waiting for Mr. Moss Noses to return
to his office in a street hard by.—call it
Mersey street, and for the reason that Mr.
Moss Moses had a furnished place to let
which his advertisement called "two spa
cious coutning-rooms, "—goodness knows
I never counted much there in the shape
.of coin; and I did not like the situation;
nor the narrow, dark staircase; nor the
look of the boy of Hebrew extraction who
'bawled "Cnbid," whest I knocked, and
told me "Mr. Boses would be in at eight
o'clock;" but twenty-five pounds a year
was very cheap, so I told my young friend
I would call at that time, and look at the
Atountlng-rooms."
How well I remember that night! The
ferry-boats from the Cheshire shore glid
ing along with their lights twinkling like
glow-worms, the vast hull of the Great
eastern just vunmer in she eitoyue, ww
squared yards, and all ataut look of a
seventy-four of the old school, showing
black and distinct against the daffodil
sky, and the lap of the swell against the
under timbers of the stage—l was inclined
to be sentimental; but Mr. Moss Moses
claimed my attention, and once more I
entered his office and found him awaiting
me. He was a - little, fat, good-tempered
Jew, who spoke decent English; and who,
I afterwards found out, was constantly
affirming in season, and out of season,
that he was no descendant of Abraham.
"Hullo, Brunton!" he cried, jumping
from his chair. "My lad told me you'd
been; where have you been these two
months and more? Look here, old fellow,
I've advertised your place; but you can
have it on the old terms."
"Some mistake, sir, I believe;" and I
handed him a card bearing the inscription,
"Charles Harker."
He took it and held it to the gaslight,
looked at the back, considered it endways,
and then pondered over it upside down,—
Then taking the candle his clerk had
brought, held it close to my face.
"If you are not disposed to proceed to
',business, I will bid you good night," said
I, greatly annoyed at his manner.
"It's him, and- it ain't him," he said
aloud; "Carl never could look a man in
the face as this one does. And yet I don't
see my way through the features."
"There is no necessity for you to trouble
yourself about my features!" I exclaim
ed, opening the dooi-,—‘ - good nigh "
"Step, stop, my good sir , and n't be
offen,d. It was a mistake. Isaac's
mise, upon my honor."
"All a bistake," echoed young Isaac.
My Curiosity was excited, and, betides,
I realli wanted the offices; and I there
fore allowed myself to - be persuaded into
mounting the narrow staircase, until we
faoed a door bearing the name of Branton
on it in white letters' and having the two
upper panels glazed more, I should imag
ine, to supply light to the staircase than
for - admission of light to the office;
Mr. Moss prOginced a key, and tuning
td me with a good-natured smile, said,
"I'd hive sworn you were Branton five
minutes ago, ba ram sure now that I-was .
wrong. Carl always swore as he came up
stairs, and you haven't. It's Brunton's
face all but the eyes, and I'd swear to the
eyes anywhere.: That is, to the twinkle,
of 'ens, you know."
And he tudooked the door and invited
me within.
Walkingto a table on which he had
placed the light , I took a chair, and pro
duced my ,pocket-book.
"Before we go further, Mr. Moss, let us
quite understand each other. I have no
wish to derive any benefit fromany *tw o
m i .. B run t on may possess, and I am going
to convince , youthat I am what I remnant
myself to be. Be good enough to read
that letter,"
It was c one from a merchant in the north,
only received timt morning, and zo oo tk ok .
ed circumstances which were sufticieut to
settle any doubts as to my indentity. :
,hir. Moss read it, folded it up briskly,
and presented it to me with a bow.
"Bir, I apologize. I confessAlret wp to
this moment I fancied it was gas ; t n 4
what puzzled me was, that inch a inutr
fellow should take to larking and playing
the fool. 'Thu. are very much like ray last
tenant, sir, that is all."
"Very well; wow that matter is settled,
let us look at the rooms."
The lighted gas ahowed'me a large lite
and very barely furnished. 'Theta wa s a

"Now, my dear sir, what more ooil.
you want? Would you like a safe?
got one to spare down stairs and you shall
have it, and a new mat for your feet,—
there now,.—l hate haggling."
"Let me see the other room, please."
It was one which a person sitting at the
table would have right opposite to him,
and it had no door. "It was a clerk's of
fice," Mr. Moss said, "and yen wanted
your eye on suck chaps." I suggested
that the principal might sometimes want
privacy, whereupon he said "he had the
door down stairs and it should be hung -at
once if I wished it." But having no in
tention of engaging a clerk at present I
told him it was of no consequence.
The room was about half the size of the
outer one, and containela desk and stool.
There was a large clot for coals and
such like matters, and good allowance of
dust and cobwebs all over.
"I'll have it cleaned up to-morrow,"
said Mr. Moss. "It looks beautiful when
clean, and you'll find the desk to be really
Spanish mahogany."
They would suit me well enough, and I
told Mr, Moss so; paid him a quarter's
rent in advance, and rose to depart. •
"0, by the way, Mr. Moss," I exclaimed,
a sudden thought striking me; "I will
send a man to paint my name!in the door,
and on the wall down stairs."
"Very good, sir; I would do it at once
if I were you. Carl was a loose flab, and
if you delayed it until you got here you
might Ile annoyed," •
"How sot What was he?"
"Take a cigar first, Mr. Harker, you'll
find no better in Liverpool. Lord! how
like him you do look when I don't see
your eyes!"
"And yet I have not been thought to re
semble a loose fish before, Mr. Moss."
"I didn't mean that. Have you never
seen an ugly person resemble a very hand
some. one ? I have many a time. Well,
about Carl: he was here about two years,
and call me a Jew if I could reckon him
up. He used to come here about noon,
and work up to eight or nine o'clock at
night; but what business he worked it I
could never find out. I know he had a big
ledger, and two or three such books; but a
big ledger won't maces business any more
than a big carpet-bag will, and he always
carried one. He would come and smoke a
cigar with me now and then; but I never
came up here during all that time, and he
kept this door locked. He always seemed
to be expecting a blow did poor Carl, more
like a rat in a corner than anything else,
poor beggar! Well, sir, one morning I
found the key on my mat, and found the
place just as you see it, and have never
seen Carl since. One or two queer-looking
men have inquired about him, and asked
if be was coming back, and. I said most
likely he would, and likely enough he
will "
UOUSZ.
"Not at all an interesting story," I
thought, and I felt inclined to yawn in
Mr. Moss' face; but I thanked him for his
inforniaticm, and promised to take posses
sion in three days, which I spent in pre
senting my letters of introduction, and
making other arrangements for the prose
cution of my plans.
At length the eventful day arrived, and
I stood in my own once, with my name
...blazoned on the door and postage wall.
I was waiting for a friend to cal on me
(who, by the way, had promised to put
me in the way of doing vile badness that
very day,) and felt impatient for his arrival
in consequence.
The office was clean and tidy, and the
floors had been well scrubbed.
Why hadn't they emptied the waste
piper basket of all that lumber?
The office keeper had lighted a fire, and
I took up the basket to perform the opera
tion myself; but from some cause or other
I placed it on the table and began idly to
burn the scraps one by one.
I had nearly disposed of them all' when
a scrap attracted my attention and I read
it. It was torn so as to leave a few words
intact, and it ran thus:
Louise has given your description, and
you may rely on our finding you. For
ward the plates at once, or—"
Then another piece of mysterious paper,
aPPerently a plan of some place or other.
- What did this mean?
But I had no time to consider, for my
friend entered, and putting the two pieces
of paper in my drawer, I emptied the
basket in the fire, and went out with
him to do a good day's work.
Returning late in the evening, I relit the
fire, and addressed myself to the writing
of two important letters to be pouted by
11.80 that night, in order to be in time for
the Cunard liner, which sailed early in the
morning; and then it was the black dark,
nem of the doorlees room opposite to me
began to trouble me most,
It had troubled me before, but on this
night it trembled me tenfold. From child
hood I have been imaginative, and .know
ing this, I stirred the fire, called myself
an ass, and went on with .my letter. But
not for long. My eyes wandered to the
black darkness of the doorway, and I be
gan to ransack my memory for Statistics
of men who could tell by some occult pow-
er if any one were hidden in the room they '
entered; and I huighed aloud when I re
membered that I had read of one sensitive
gentleman, who by this same occult sense
had found that a surgism's skeleton was
in a closet beldind him.
I own I dislike being in the dark,' but I
will do myself the justice to say that I
have resolution enough to overcome the
dislike.
Therefore I proposed to myself to very
quietly walk into the dark room 'which
troubled me (and without a light,) look
' out of the windows, and slowly return.
I went—the very first step beyond the
threshold dispelled my fears. I could see
the glimmer of theaters through the glass,
hear the rattle of the cabs ontaldir. Why,
it was -quite a -cheerful pima, after all!
Hal them was a ahldithufnoise there by
the closet, and then my feat returned and
overpowered me. I Meows 'to Walk out

"We have fousskrts:
I am thankful to say thit I sin hot
vows when I ue a danger, and I boldly re
plied.
"My name is Harker and not Brunton;
Mr. Moss, 'the landlord of these premises,
has noticed my resemblance to his late
tenant, and is satisfied that I am not the
same. Depend upon it that I shall make
you repent this outrage."
I tried to rise to call for help from the
street, but the pistol was cocked and point
ed at me, and there was that in the man's
face which cautioned me against rashness
in my helpless position.
"I will sit down," I replied, "and hear
what you have to say; but if 1 choose to
do It I shall do my best to raise an alarm
in spite of your revolver."
"Vell spoke, Carl." said, the foreigner;
"Louise always say he a pluciy one."
"Now, then, Brunton," whispered the
other, ."let us have no nonsense. We have
not met before, it is true, but Louise has
so well described you, that putting an
other name on your door was simply
idiotic. Besides one of ours has watched
for your return, and we communicated
with hinvdirectly after we landed. Go
free if you like, but we roill lune the plates."
"Hat's the matter vid us," echoed the
German; "ve vill have the plates."
"I know nothing of any plates," I cried,
"nor of Louise, nor of you. All I know
is, that you will see the inside of a prison
very shortly."
"And you think you can throw us,
throw ya over in this wayl Do you think
you deal with children?"
"I think I deal with a burglar. Most
certainly .with a rascal of some sort or
other."
Here my two friends held a whispered
conference. Then he of the revolver turn
ed sharply towards me.
"Will you marry Louise? Will you
give up the plates, and marry my sister ?"
"She lofe you like old boots," added the
German; and from which I opine that 'he
prided himself on a knowledge of English
idiom.
In spite of my serious position I was
getting thoroughly amused. The dark
doorway held unknown terrors to my ex
cited imagination; but two common-place
fellows who had made a mistake only
caused a feeling of merriment, even in
spite of the revolver.
"I am sorry I cannot oblige you," I
replied. "I am flattered by the lady's
preference; but having one wife already, I
fear I must decline taking a second; and
as for the plates, please explain what you
mean."
The answer to this flippant spewoh was
a blow on the face, which sent the blood
streaming on the floor.
"You'll remember insulting the sister of
Louis Orlon? Jlere, Baron, let us gag
him, and search; he will be rabring an I al
arm presently."
They thrust a piece of rope between my
teeth, compressing my windpipe to make
me open my mouth; and there I nit help
less whilst they turned out the contents of
my desk and drawers, not forgetting my
cash-box, which was opened with a key
taken from my waist-coat pocket, and the
contents appropriated. Knowing that the
two scraps of paper I had found in the
waste-paper basket, placed in my drawer,-
must refer to their visit. I watched very
am:lonely when they opened it. But they
escaped notice, and I felt that I had got
some clew to the mystery, even if these
men escaped; and I had quite determined
that they should not escape, for I was in
securely hound, and had been working
hard to get My right hand free, and,
thanks to having a very narrow one, I
now found myself able to slip it through
the loop which encircled the wrist; but I
"bided my time," for I saw that a false
move might bring a bullet through my
head.
"De- plates is in ze oder room, Carl
Brunton, mon ami," said the Baron, smil
ing, and patting my shoulder. "Vy not
say? Vy shoal-we you? You do dem so
well, ve no get any like dem. And you
use dem yourself, and den, AchGott; you
upset de cart of de apple," \
"Yes," I thought; "and it's odd to me
if I don't upset your cart of de apple be
fore long."
"In dare; in back room?" asked the
Baron, with another amiable smile.
I said, "Yes," with my eyes.
"Elee now, my Louis, you were too
rough. You into him pitch like dam, So
see him amiable." Then to me,—
"And you will marry Louise, who lofe
you like old boots I"
My other hand was free now. I tried to
speak, and implored with my eyes for the
gag to be removed.
The Baron removed it, and while doing
so I resolved on a plan of operations.
"You will marry Louise and give us the
plates ?"
"I will give you every satisfaction."
"That is business," said Louis Orloff,
coming forward.- "Ph* the plates.—
Then you return with us to New York,
and keep your proinisiS to Louise. Why
give us this trouble? I tell you frankly
that the expense will be deducted from
your share, and that you wM 'bp strictly
watched in future. I should haye cut your
throat but for my promise to Louise.—
Now,:where are the plates?"
"Look in the closet in the next room;
rake ont the coals, and take what yon
find."
"Good. Come, Baron."
And they left me to operate on the
coals. Springing up, I seized the revolver,
darted to the door, and in a moment had
locked them in. But my triumph was of
abort duration; for Orloff was on the other
side like lightning, the rotten woodwork
tore out under his vigorous wrench, and
his hand was on my throat before I could
grope my way to the stairs, '
•
Then I knew that life depended' on the
struggle, and I fought like one poasessed
for the revolver. The Baron came to bii
•friend's help; but I found time and op

getting up, and then gave an account of
the evening's adventure, not noticing at
the time that a tall inspector of police was
in the room.
"Will you kindly show me those Owes
of paps,"?" he said, aivancing. "I have
the men in Mr. Moss's office; but beyond
the assault on you I have no evidence
against them; but I know them well."
"I produced them, and the inspector
fastened on the one which seemed to be a
plan, then looking around said,—
"This is a plan of your office."
"Call me a Jew if it ain't!" exclaimed
Mr. Moss, taking it.
"Yes, it is certainly a plan of your of
fice. See, here is the doorway, and there
comes the other room. Then there is a
cross against the fireplace in this room, on
what I judge from the lines to mean the
fourth board from the hearthstone, and
another cross against the sixth form the
hearthstone in the other room. Get a
crowbar, Mr. Moss."
"There's one down stairs."
I do believe that if you'd asked for a
crocodile he would have got one • "down
stairs."
Crowbar and a policeman to wield it
were soon produced, and then the mys
tery was unravelled.
Close to where I sat were unearthed
several copper plates for the forging of
Russian rouble notes of various amounts;
and in the back room, under the flooring,
were found several hundreds of well-ex
ecuted forgeries carefully soldered up in a
tin case, together with correspondence im
plicating Orlorff and tlie Baron. It ap
peared that Brunton was engaged by a
New, York-gang to engrave the plates,
and that be had never seen his employers,
the agent between them being the Louise
before mentioned, whose fair.-hand I bad
been compelled to decline. Brunton had
evidently become frightened, and had fled.
He was no traitor, or he would have de
camped with the plates. Perhaps the
dread of having to espouse Louise may
:have had to do with his flight. She was a
very handsome woman, if I may judge
from a photograph of her found in the tin
case, but looked like one accustomed to
rule, and who would not hesitate to ad
minister wholesome correction to her
spouse,
Assisted into a carriage which was wait
ing, I had the satisfaction of seeing the
Baron and Orlorff brought down in hand
cuffs, the Baron regarding me with a sweet
smile, and Orloff scowling on me like a
fiend. I did not prosecute, for they were
so well known to the police as forgers that
there was evidence enough for the Russian
Embassy to procure a conviction and a
sentence of ten years' penal servitude; and
in due time I recovered, and dismissed the
matter from my mind.
But I had not heard the last of it.—
About twelve months after the trial and
condemnation of the Baron and his friend
there came one night a timid knock at my
office door, and my clerk (for I had such a
luxury then) nahered in what, at first sight,
seemed to be a moviag bundle of raga.—
Strictly speaking, the bundle of rags in,
sisted on seeing me, and ushered itself in,
spite of all re

F ed itself into the reoembrance of a' man,
—a man lean, haggard, sunken-eyed, rag
ged, and dirty, but with a face something
like my own; and without putting a ques
tion, I knew that I stood face to face with
Carl Brunton, and I addressed the rags by
that name.
"1.,t00k that name," the poor, shivering
things replied, "but n3y name is—but. no
matter. May I speak to you?"
"Yes, go on."
"Will you give me some drink first? I
have had none to-day, and I feel delirium
tremens coming on. 0, howfoold it is,
and how I shiver!"
I sent the clerk for some brandy, which
he took raw, and with shaking hand held
out the glass for more.
"I imagine it is Mr. Moss you want to
see, is it not? If so, you will find him to
morrow,. at ten o'clock."
"No, no, you, you I want—l—l am very
poor. Will you give me a six-pence?"
I gave hint half a crown,
"Now what can I do for you?"
"I—l left some property here when I
went away. You won't refuse to give it I
up? I seem poor, but I am rich—ah! so
rich!—and I will pay you well,", t
"You mean the forged rouble-notes and
the plate you engraved them from?"
"Ahl Who told you that?'. Then you
have found them, and used them? I ran
away from them, and wished to lead a
better life, but they drew me back; and
now you have robbed me, and I shall
starve."
I explained to the poor wretch what had
become of his possessions, and how they
were 'found, and inquired if he had not
heard of the fate of his accomplices.
"No; I have been wandering about the
country, living in hospitals and work
houses, because they hunt me down from
place to place. They will kill itta as they
killed the Posen Jew and the engraver at
Stockholm, all because they demanded a
fair share. They are dogging me to-night
- 7 -one of them is outside now. Let me
see, what did I come here for? 0, six
pence. Lend me sixpence; I'll give you a
liandred pounds for it to-morrow."
I made a further donation, and, as the

A YOUNG LADY GORED TO DEATE BY A
Cow.—A most horrible scene was enacted
the.barnyard of Samuel Craft a wealthy
farmer relying about two miles south of
, the village of Glen Cove, on Sunday after
noon, by which his sister was gored to
death by an infuriated cow. Miss Craft
stepped out of the house to feed a brood
of young turkies, when a cow that was
walking about the yard rushed Madly at
her, striking her in the left aide, crushing
her against the fence and trampling and
goring her in a terrible manner. Her
screams attracted the attention of a labor
er named Sheridan, who hastened to her
rescue and partly stunned the brute by a
blow from a stone, which had the effect of
knocking it down, while two of the sisters
bore the body away. The animal soon rt.
covered from the affects of the blow, and
again made a furious charge oa the party,
but Sheridan kept ber hack with stones,
bhe refraining from toughing him and evi
dently being determined to kill the ladies;
but the body was finally conveyed from the
yard. The lady, however, was fully oori
scions all the time, and as Abe expired %lbe
said, "She has killed me!" Her face and
body were terribly bruised. There was 4
frightful and deep laceration in her left
