THE H_UNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &O.
islature• in 1855, is 'entitled to the especial at- -
tention of the friends of Agriculture. In
the teachings of this institution, the scientific
and the practical are united ; and whilst the
art of farming and all that pertains to the
management, business and work of a farm,
will be the subject of instruction, the natural
sciences, in their relation,and application to
practical agriculture, will also be taught.—
The student of the institution will be enabled
to test, in his daily occupation, the truth and
value of • the knowledge communicated.
Much of the land connected with the school
has been successfully cultivated during the
past year. Orchards of every - variety of
fruit and hedges have been planted, and
many valuable improvements made. A-dou
ble storied barn, large and convenient, as
also the farmer's house and part of the out
buildings have been erected and occupied.
From the report of the trustees we learn
that " a contract has been made for the erec
tion of an edifice calculathd for the residence
of Professors, Lecture Halls . and Dormitories
for students, to be built of stone, four stories
high, two hundredi and thirty-three feet in
-front, with wings, and to cost fifty-five thous
and dollars. This building is already in
progress, and it is hoped that a part of it may
be put under roof and be so far completed as
to enable the Board to make arrangements
to receive a few students before the close of
the current year." The Legislature, at their
last session, appropriated fifty thousand dol
lars to this institution, ono-half of which has
been paid; the remaining twenty-five thous
and dollars to be paid. on condition that an
equal sum be realised from other sources,
within three years from the passage of the
act making the appropriation.
The objects and character of this institu
tion—its relation to agricultural knowledge,
and as the pioneer in the great work of agri
cultural education,- commend it to the gener
ous patronage of the Legislature, and to the
confidence and liberality of the people of the
Commonwealth.
. The report to be submitted by the Superin
tendent of Common Schools will present a
clear and satisfactbry statement of the gen
eral operation of the system during the past
year.
The separation of the school from the State
Department, by the act of the last session,
was a just tribute to the importance and value
of our Common School system. The great
educational interests of the State, the care
and giiardianship of the intellectual, social
arid moral improvement of the youth of the
Commonwealth, should occupy a prominent
and independent position among the Depart
ments of the Government. If the care of the
treasure of the Commonwealth, the develope
ment of her material wealth, and the advance
ment of her politico-economical interests,
have received from the Government the mark
ed and distinctive recognition of their im
portance; how much more should the mind
of her youth—with its wondrous activities—
its constantly unfolding energies, and its in
finite superiority to the material and physical,
claim a still higher consideration, and receive
from the Representatives of the people, a
more honored recognition.
As_ an independent Department, greater
efficiency will be given to the system—a more
direct and immediate supervision will be se
eured—the_details of its operation more care
fully observed—its deficiencies discovered—
its errors corrected—the accomplishment of
its noble nurnases and ehieol-.5 rendered_ mere
Certain, and. the system itself saved tram the
dangerous and debasing influence of political
excitement, and partizan prejudice.
The County Superintendency, tested by . ex
perience, has realized the just expectations
of the friends of the measure, and. may now
be regarded as a permanent and indispensa
ble part of the system. When committed to
competent men, it has accomplished a•noble
work in promoting the success and usefulness
of our Common Schools ; and wherever the
duties of the office have been faithfully per
formed, the character of the schools has been
elevated, their number and the number of
scholars increased, and the confidence and
encouragement of the public secured. In
the hands of incompetent men, these results
have not been obtamed ; but on the contrary,
opposition has been provoked, and the cause
of Common School education retarded. This
office should not be committed to any but
men thoroughly qualified by education and
experience for the performance of its arduous
and responsible duties; and if the School
Directors of any county, in disregard of-their
obligations, from opposition either to the sys
tem or the office, select an incompetent person
for the place, the odium of the act, and of
failure to secure the benefits resulting from
a proper and intelligent administration of
the office, should rest upon them, and not
upon the law authorizing the appointment.—
The defects of the system when clearly es
tablished should be promptly corrected ; but
change is not always reform; and innovation,
induced by selfishness or prejudice, may en
danger its permanency and destroy its effi
ciency.
The act of the 20th day of May, 1857, pro
viding for the due training of teachers for
the Common' Schools of the State, by encour
aging the establishment of Ncerual Schools
within the Districts designated in the law,
has received the cordial approbation of all
interested in the success of our Common
Schools. The passage of that act inaugura
ted a new era in the history of Common
School education in Pennsylvania. It is a
movement in the right direction; full of en
couragement and hope for the greater perfec
tion and usefulness of the system. Large
and enthusiastic meetings of the friends of
education have been held, in many of the
districts, to promote the establishment of
Normal Schools, as contemplated by the act;
and liberal sums of money have been . sub
scribed to secure this desirable object. A no
ble work has been commenced ; and sustain
ed by individual enterprise and liberality—
encouraged by the State, and vindicated by
its own intrinsic merit, it must go on until
State Normal Schools, in number and effi
ciency,- equal to the supply of well trained
teachers, shall become the just pride and
boast of Pennsylvania.
The organic structure of our system is as
perfect, perhaps, as human legislation can
make it; but it needs the competent and
thoroughly trained teacher to give it greater
vitality and efficiency, and secure the full ac
complishment of the purposes of its creation.
The teacher, the properly educated, the well
trained, the scientific teacher, is the great
want of the system. We need the TEAM
ING MIND) • not - the automaton movements of
mere physical organization or antiquated
routine; to direct and control the intellectual
enemies of the youth of the Commonwealth.
We require mind, educated mind, in our
sehae\z, that knowledge may be communica
ted, no. only effectively and practically, but
that in training the young, they may be
taught think—and how to think—to in
vestigate, and know for thetuselves ; and thus
be - fitted and prepared for the high and re
sponsible
duties of the man and the citizen.
This deficiency can only be supplied by
State Normal Schools for the education of
teachers. To them we must look. The fu
ture is full of hope. Much has already been
done to provide for their establishment and
support. In connection with honorable in
dividual effort, more legislative encourage
ment may be required. It should be given
cheerfully and promptly. No subject of
greater interest can claim your attention; no
one appeals with more reason and truth, to
duty and patriotism.
Teachers' Institutes, as auxiliary to Nor
mal Schoold, should be aided by the State.-
Through their agency, sustained by the no
ble and self-denying efforts of the - teachers
themselves, much good has been accomplish
ed in educating and training teachers, and in
dignifying a profession too long undervalued
by those most deeply interested in their use
ful labors..
In the great work of popular education
_there should be no retrograde movement in
Pennsylvania; no yielding to the impotent
clamor of ignorance, selfishness or prejudice,
in their attempts to stay its progress. • These,
one and all, may denounce and condemn, but
virtue, patriotism, truth, bid you onward.—
Let the system be maintained in its unity
and usefulness; let it be improved and per
fected in its details ; but let no act of yours
impair its strength, or mar the beauty and
harmony of its proportions.
Based as our institutions are on the will of
the people—dependent for preservation on
their virtue and intelligence—knowledge
with us should occupy the high position to
whichit is so pre-eminently entitled. Knowl
lodge, founded upon the pure principles of
eternal truth, is the crowning glory of the
citizen—the safeguard and defence of the
State. Education, full and free to all, is the
boon we ask for the children of the Common
wealth—it is the duty, paramount to all oth
ers, the State owes to her citizens. The aid
of the Commonwealth should be liberally be
st° tved. The subject in all its relations, is
warmly commended to the generous care and
patronage of the Legislature.
Legislation, whilst properly encouraging
the development of the material wealth of the
State, should recognize the' still higher obli
gation to improve the social, intellectual and
moral condition of the people. The amelio
ration of human suffering, the reformation of
the erring, and the correction of youthful vi
ciousness, are objects that deserve the atten
tion of the philanthropist and statesman. To
secure these results the educational, charita
ble and reform Cory institutions of the Corn
monwealth should be fostered and encourag-
ed by liberal legislation.
The reports of the State Lunatic Hospital,
at Harrisburg,
and the Western Pennsylva
nia Hospital for the Insane, at Pittsburg,
will be laid before you, and will exhibit in
detail their operations for the past year.
These institutions, in their objects and re
sults, merit and should receive our warmest
approbation. The condition of no class of
suffering humanity appeals with more thril
ling power to our sympathies, than that of
the insane. Ignornt of the frightful nialady
that oppresses them, shrouded in the fearful
gloom of mental darkness, and shut out from
the social joys of home and friends, 'the aid
of the benevolent and the benefactions of the
(in ruxaclri vonnl -
fully given to them.
The House of Refuge in Philadelphia, and
the Western House of Refuge near Pittsburg,
again ask to share the bounty of the Com
monwealth. These schools for the erring,
neglected and outcast children and youth
of
the State—these homes where kindness rules
and love subdues the vicious and incorrigi
ble, should not be denied their request.
The "Blind" and the "Deaf and Dumb"
Asylums at Philadelphia, and the Pennsyl
vania Training School for idiotic and feeble
minded children, present their annual claim
for your sympathy and aid. The darkened
eye, the silent tongue, and the weakened in
tellect, in sorrow and sadness, appeal to the
representatives of the people fer this boon.
It cannot be refused.
My views in relation to "local," "special"
and "omnibus legislation," have been so fre
quently expressed, in communications to the
Legislature that their repetition now is un
nessessary. Such legislation, often so sub
versive of private rights—so detrimental. to
the public interest, and generally so mischie
vous in its consequences—should not be en
couraged or permitted.
The report of the Adjutant General will be
laid before you. To its valuable and impor
tant suggestions I invite your careful consid
eration.
I must again call the attention of the Leg
islature to the subject of revising the militia
laws of the State. They are so crude and
imperfect, in many of their provisions and
obscure in some of their enactments, that it
is difficult to discover the object intended, or
comprehend the duty enjoined. The powers
and duties of the respective officers connected
with the military organization of the Com
monwealth, should be more clearly defined.
Greater encouragement shotild be given to
the formation of volunteer companies ; the
entire system should he remodeled, and plac
ed in a position to
.. .become alike honorable
and useful to the State.
The Select and Common Councils of the
City of Philadelphia, by an ordinance pass
ed the 7th day of April, 1856, and officially
communicated to the Legislature at their last
general session, proposed to convey to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a lot of
ground,-in that city, for the purpose of erect
ing an Arsenal thereon. By the act of the
6th of May, 1857, the Governor was author
ized to accept from the Mayor of Philadel
phia, under the seal of the Corporation, the
conveyance in fee simple of the lot of ground
proposed to be donated to the Commonwealth,
for the purpose indicated.. The conveyance
was duly executed by the Mayor on the 26th
day of J une, 1857, and delivered and accep
ted on the 31st day of July following, as di
rected by the act. The fourth section of the
same act authorized the Governor to apply
the proceeds of the sale of the Arsenal in
Philadelphia ($30,000) to the erection of an
Arsenal on the lot of ground thus granted to
the Commonwealth. In pursuance of the
authority conferred, a contract was made with
a skillful and experienced Architect, for the
erection and completion of the proposed Ar
senal ; to be large and commodious, and adap
ted to the purposes intended. The building
was immediately commenced under the di
rect supervision of the Adjutant General, and
is now completed and ready for the reception
of the Arms, Military stores and equipments
of the Commonwealth. It is of brick, three
stories high, one hundred and eighty-two feet
front on Filbert street, and fifty feet in depth.
The foundation walls of stone, are solid and
missive. The cost of construction did not ex-
ceed the 'appropriation. It is a substantial
and elegant structure, and will be a safe de
depository for the public arms—an ornament
to the city, and a credit to the Common
wealth.
One of my predecessors in his annual com
munication to the Legislature, immediately
after the close of the late war with Mexico,
recommended the erection of a monument to
the memory of those citizen soldiers, from
Pennsylvania, who died in the service of
their-country in that war. It is due to them,
that some public acknowledgment of their
patriotic services should be made by the
State. Concurring in the sentiments expres
ed in the communication to which reference
has been made, I would also invite your at
tention to the propriety of erecting, in the
public grounds of the Capitol, a• suitable
-monument to their memory—and thus honor
those who by their undaunted bravery and
invincible valor, honored our noble Common
wealth.
The publication of the Geological Report
of the State, under the superintendence of
Prof. Rogers, is rapidly approaching comple
tion. The engravings and illustrations are
nearly completed, and the first volume now
in press, which be expects will be ready for
delivery soon after the meeting of the Legis
lature, and the second and last volume before
its adjournment or immediately thereafter.
The style and . general execution of the work
- will be equal, if not superior, to that of any
similar publication by our sister States. It
- will fully sustain the reputation of the dis
tinguished Geologist, by whom the surveys
were made,,ancl who has devoted so much
care and attention to its publication. The
large geological map of the State, which will
accompany the volumes, will not be finished
before the close of the year. Great care has
been taken to make it perfect in all its de
tails. The whole work will be a valuable
addition to geographical, as well as geologi
cal science, and will be alike useful to the
citizens of the Commonwealth, and honora
ble to its author.
The resolutions proposing amendments to
the Constitution of the Commonwealth, were
published as directed - by that instrument.—
In accordance with the provisions of .the Act
of 12th of May, 1857, the proposed amend
ments were submitted to the people for their
ratification or rejection, on the second Tues
day of October last. The returns of said elec
tion have been received, and will be deliver
ed to the Speaker of the Senate, as directed
by law, when the fact of their adoption by a
large majority, will be officially ascertained
and announced.
The fourth section of the first article of
the amended Constitution, requires. the Le
gislature
at their first session, after the adop
tion of this amendment, to divide the City of
Philadelphia into Senatorial and Represent
ative Districts, in the manner provided in
that section. This duty devolves upon you,
and should be performed with fidelity and
due regard to the interest and rights of the
people of that city.
Relieved from the imputation of selfish
ness, I cannot forbear presenting for your
consideration, a subject that should claim
your earliest attention. I refer to the erec
tion of a house at the seat of Government,
for the use of the Governor of the Common
wealth. The want of a public mansion, has
been seriously felt by all who have been
called to occupy that official station. Whilst
.11. our-sister - estates nave premed
residences for the accommodation of their
Chief Magistrates, Pennsylvania for reasons
not creditable to her as the 'Keystone State,'
has refused to incur the expense necessary
for the erection of such a building. The fail
ure to provide, in this manner, for his accom
modation, subjects the Governor to much in
convenience, oftentimes vexatious and annoy
ing. A suitable house Cannot always be ob
tained here, and in that event lie is compell
ed to be shut up in the rooms of a hotel, or
crowded with his family into some small and
obscure dwelling, alike unfitted for domestic
comfort, or the exhibition of the amenities
and courtesies of social life. It should be
remembered that the Governor of the Com
monwealth is regarded as the representative
of the people ; socially, as well as politically,
and therefore he should be enabled, by every
proper appliance i to represent truly their so
cial virtues and character: This he cannot
do, to the extent desired ; on the very meagre
salary he receives; and do not hesitate to
affirm that no one occupying this office can,
without drawing largely on his private in
come, exercise the hospitalities or maintain
the dignity properly associated with the posi
tion. I have avoided all useless expenditures;
and yet the salary received, has been wholly
insufficient to defray the expenses necessarily
incurred. This should not be permitted.—
Every consideration of public policy, every
honorable impulse of proper State pride, re
quire that the Chief .V.xecutive Officer of the
Commonwealth should be provided with a
suitable residence, at the seat of Goveria
'Tient, and with a salary adequate to the ex
penditure incident to his high official.posi
tion.
In my last annual communication to the
General Assembly, my sentiments were fully
expressed in reference to reform in the natu
ralization laws, and the admission of appli
cants to the right of citizenship—to the pres
ervation of the purity of elections, by the
prevention- and punishment of fraudulent
and illegal voting; and the enactment of a
judicious registry law—to freedom as the
great centre truth of American republican
ism—the great law of American nationality
—to the rights of the States, as Independent
Sovereignties, and the power and duty of the
General Government to prevent the exten
sion of the institution of slavery to the free
territories of the Union—to the wrongs of
Kansas, as exhibited in the violation of the
doctrine of popular sovereignty, by the Gen
eral Government, in its attempts, by the mili
tary power of the country and &therwise, to
defeat the will of the majority in that terri
tory ; wrongs still existing and aggravated
by recent outrages on the rights and privi
leges of that people, and approved by high
National Executive authority. To the views
then presented, you are respectfully referred.
By the expiration of the Constitutional
term, my official connection with the Govern
ment of the Commonwealth will soon cease.
The powers, under the Constitution, vested
in me by the people, will be transferred to
another of their own selection ; and with my
warmest wishes for his success, I will, reliev
ed from the cares and anxieties of official
place, retire to private life. In discharge of
the duties devolved upon me, I have endeav
ored to the extent of my ability, to promote
the interests and honor of the Common
wealth, and the virtue, the happiness and
prosperity of her citizens. If not successful,_
I have at least labored to deserve success;
and in surrendering the trust committed to
me, by a generous people, my only regret
will be, that I have not been able to serve
our noble Commonwealth with a zeal and
ability equal to the interest I feel in her pro
gress and welfare. Whatever of merit, or
demerit may attach to my administration,
whatever may be the opinions entertained of
my conduct of the affairs of State, I
. can at
least claim from my felloftitizens, with a
full consciousness of its fight, the award of
good intention, and will enjoy in my retire
ment, the proud satisfaction of knowing that
no act of mine, or of my administration, in
tendency or fact, injured or corrupted the
public morals, retarded the prosperity, or
tarnished the fair fame of my native State.—
I will surrender to my successor the cares
and responsibilities of the office I now hold,
with greater cheerfulness than I assumed
them ; and will return, without a murmur,
to the society and companionship of those,
who can approve -without selfishness, and
censure only at the bidding of truth and
friendship. To the judgment of, impartial
history I commit my administration and its
acts, without a fear of the result; and when
time shall have softened the asperity of parti
zan feeling—healed the bitterness of disap
pointment and corrected the errors of preju
dice, truth will sustain the judgment and
justice approve the record.
Our beloved Commonwealth, rich in all
the elements of material greatness, her broad
and fertile fields—her lofty mountains, filled
with inexhaustible mineral wealth—her riv
ers and her streams—her internal improve
ments, her furnaces, rolling-mills and facto
ries—her colleges, her academies,- and her
noble system of Common Schools—her church
es and charitable institutions; her popula
tion, enterprising, energetic, intelligent and
prosperous—'-all these are justly the pride of
every true-hearted Pennsylvanian. Our mighty
republic, "the free heart's hope and home,"
the Constitution-and the Union of the States
—the civil and religious privileges of the
people—the right of conscience and freedom
of worship—the great and essential princi
ples of liberty and free government, here en
joyed; and our American Nationality, found
ed in a true and single devotion to home and
country, are objects that fill with patriotic
emotion, the heart of every American citizen.
May they be cherished and defended, until
patriotism ceases to be a virtue and liberty
be known only as a name.
_ The true glory and greatness of a nation
consist, not alone in the number, privileges
or intellectual superiority of her people, her
material wealth or physical strength, her po
litical position or form of government.—
`Righteousness exalteth a nation,' and 'hap
py is that people whose God is the Lord.'—
Our fathers trusted in Him, and were not
disappointed. Recognizing Him as the Sov
ereign Ruler of Nations and Men ; invoking
a continuance of his watchful care over the
interests of the Commonwealth, and His
blessing upon your official labors—may your
acts and the acts of those who may succeed
us in the administration of the government,
in their character and results, be such as pa
triotism demands, and honor, truth and con
science can sanction and approve.

UNRIVALLED ATTRACTIONS !--
MIERSON'S MAGAZINE
AND PUTNAM'S MONTHLY,
TWO GREAT MAGAZINES IN ONE!!
NINETY THOUSAND COPIES THE FIRST MONTH!! I
MAGNIFICENT PROGRAMME FOR 1858.
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SPLENDID WORKS
OF ART.
FIVE-DOLLAR ENGRAVING TO EVERY
SUBSCRIBER.
THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER-AGENTS GETTING
RICHIIII
The union of Emerson's Magazine alid Patnaih's Monthly
has given to the consolidated Work a circulation second to
but One similar publication in the country, and has secur
ed for it a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivaled by any other Magazine in the world, Du
ring the first month, the Sale in the trade and demand from
subscribers exceeded 90,000 copies, and the numbers al
ready issued of the consolidated work are universally con
ceded to have surpassed, in the richness of their literary
contents, and the beauty and profuseness of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from the
American press. Encouraged by these evidences of favor,
the publishers have determined to commence the new vol
lime in January with still additional attractions, and to
offer such inducements to subscribers as cannot fail to
place it, in circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With this view they now announce the following splendid
programme. They have purchased that superb and costly
steel-plate engraving,
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present it to every three-dollar subscriber for the
yeas- 1858. It was engraved at a cost of over $5,000, by
the Celebrated
,A: L. Dick, from the original of Raphael
Morghen, after Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel
plate engraving ever executed in this country, being three
times the size of the ordinary three-dollar engravings.
The first impregsions of this engraving are held at ten
dollars, and it was the intention of the artist that none of
the engravings should ever be offered for a less sum than
five dollars, being richly worth that amount. Thus every
three-dollar subscriber will receive the Magazine one year
—cheap at three dollars--and this splendid engraving,
richly worth $5; thus getting for $3 the value of $B.
We shall commence striking off the engravings immedi
ately, yet it can hardly be expected that impressions of so
large a plate can be taken as fast as they will be called
fur by subscribers. We shall, therefore, furnish them in
the order in which subscriptions are received. Those who
desire to obtain their engravings early, and from the first
impressions, should rend in their subscriptions without
delay. -The engraving can be sent on rollers, by mail, or
in any other manner, as subscribers shall order.
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS LN WORKS Or
In addition to the superb engraving of "The Last Sup
per," which will be presented to every three-dollar sub
scriber for 1858, the publishers have completed arrange
ments for the distribution, on the 25th of December, 1858,
of a series of splendid works of art, consisting of one hun
dred rich and rare Oil Paintings, valued at from $lOO to
$l,OOO each. Also 2,000 magnificent Steel-Plato Engra
vings, worth from three to five dollars each, and 1,000
choice Holiday Books, worth from one to five dollars each,
making, in all, over three thousand gifts, worth twenty
thousand dollars.
Inclose $3 to the publishers and you will commence re
ceiving the Magazine by return mail. You will also re
ceive with the first copy a. numbered subscript ion receipt
entitling you to the engraving of
" TRZLAST SUPPER,"
and a chance to draw one of these "three thouse.td prizes."
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE FOR
EMERSON'S SIAGAZINE FOR 1858. .
Ist. Because its literary contents *ill, during the year,
embrace contributions from over ono hundred different
writers and thinleers, numbering among them the most
distinguished of American authors.
2d. Because its editorial departments, "Our Studio,"
"Our Window," and "Our Olio," will each be condticted
by an able editor—and it will surpass, in the variety and
richness of its editorial contents any other magazine.
3d.' Because it will contain, during the year, nearly edt .
hundred original pictorial illustrations front designs by the
first American artists:
4th. Because for the sum of $3 you will reeeiie this
splendid monthly, more richly worth that sum than any
other magazine, and the superb engraving of "The Last
Supper," worth $5.
sth. Because you will be very likely to draw one of the
three thousand prizes to be distributed on the 25th day of
December, 1858—perhaps ono that is worth $l.OOO.
Notwithstanding that these extraordinary inducements
can hardly fail to accomplish the object of the publishers
without further efforts, yet they have determined to con
tinue through the year,
THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER.
To any person who will get up a club of t wenty-four sub
scribers, either at ono or more post offices, we will present
a splendid Library, consisting of over Forty Large Bound

T HE NEW YORK STEAM SAW
MILL AND MACHINE COMPANY,
ITAL, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TIIOUSAIcD
DOLLARS
This company has been organized with the above capital
for the purpose of supplying the demand for the
COMBINATION PORTABLE STEAM SAW-MILL,
and other improved machinery.
They have purchased the entire machinery business here
tofore carried on by J. M. Emerson & Co., also the Mont.'
gomery 'Works at Yonkers, on the Hudson, near this city,
and with the experience and facilities combined in its or
ganization are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds
at more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at any
other establishment.
The Combination Saw-Mill was patented October, 1850,
and is now generally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and
most practical, and efficient lumber manufacturing ma
chine in the world. A number of them are in successful
operation in different sections of the country, Canada,
Cuba, and South America, and wherever their merits have
been tested they are being adopted by lumber manufactu
rers in preference to all other mills.
The following letter expresses the general opinion of
thbse who are rising the Combination Mill :
ills.ssns..E:lMILSON 8; Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried the
saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that it performs
well, and more than meets my expectations. I am well
pleased with its performance. I set it up on a small stream
that afforded constant water about as thick as my little
finger, which Wtej Mitch more than sufficient to supply the
boiler. We are able to cut 3,000 feet of beautiful lumber
in 12 hours, with something less thaii one cord of Wood.—
It is the very thing We have so tellitCh needed in °dr county
for a long time. With a little trouble and expense, we are
able to move it from five to fed trines pd. day, and set it up
in the heart of the timber, which saves the great burden
of hauling the logs a long distance to the
Yours respectfully, JESSE ICEmi, Jr.,
Louisville,. Tennessee.
The company has purchased Lund's Patent Feed Ar
rangement, which is illustrated and described in the Scien
tific American for October 24. This adds greatly to the

O IN VALIDS .—Dr. Hardman,
Analytical Physician.—Physician for lliseases of the
angs, Throat and Heart—Formerly Physiciwn to the
CINCINNATI MARINE HOSPITAL,
Also to Invalids Retreat, Author of "Letters to /maids,
IS COMING I See following Card.
JANUARY APPOINTMENTS,
R. lI.A.RD.MAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs ' (formerly rhysiclan to Cincin
nati Marine ilospital,) will be in attendance at his rooms
as follows :
Huntingdon, Jackson's Motel, Saturday, January 113.
Lewistown, National Hotel, 18.
Hollidaysburg, Exchange Hotel, " 15.
Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately need in the Bt.:mitt% Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon tho organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the 'very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
fur it gives as direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that .Constamption,
and other diseases of the lun '
gs hai) heretofore restated
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach, Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were no administered that they should only act con
stittitlonally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation b?ings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can bo employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It. does trot derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find thew
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forme of Ifeart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and 14bwels, &c;
AU diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Bpllopsf,
and all forms of nervous disease.
