THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, SLG The Fanners' High School [From Correspondence of The Press.] The report of the Hon. Frederick Watts, President of the Board of Trustees of the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania, to the Legislature, is an interesting document, as showing the complete success, thus far, of the experiment. Gen. James Irvin donated to the institution two hundred acres of good limestsne 'land as an inducement to have it located in Centre county, and an equal amount has sincabeenpurchased for the sum of eleven thousand dollars. The present means which the board have and which they expect to realize are as fol lows: Contributed by citizens of Centro county as an induce went for present location of the institution, $lO,OOO 00 By State Agricultural Society, 10,000 00 By Legislature at last session, 25,000 00 Total With these funds the board proceeded first to the erection of such buildings as were ab solutely necessary to the enjoyment of the property, and to laying out the grounds and planting as extensively as practicable, pre paratory tikthe commencement of a course of instruction. • A. convenient farmhouse, a large barn, corri-diibs, wagon-shed, and other ne cessary out-buildings have been completed ; an edifice two hundred and thirty-three feet in front and five stories high, with wings at either end, built of limestone, is in a state of forwardness, and will be completed during the ensuing summer at a cost of $55,000. This building is adapted to the accommo dation of at least two professors, with their families, and 300 students. No students have yet been taken, as the progress made in the building is not sufficiently advanced. It has been deemed better to - proceed slowly, but certainly, as a measure of economy. It has been found that time is necessary in the pre natation 'of the farm for that profitable in struction - of practical agriculture which is the design of the institution to impart. The resources for the further preparation of the &nit and completion of the buildings, the success of which they anti;ipate in the coming year, are : A legacy from Hr. E. Cresson $5,000 The appropriation by the Legislature . 25,000 Which is made payable when a like sum is raised by individuals 25,000 Total The board have no doubt whatever but that the individual subscriptions will be forth coming, from their success thus far. This subject. of, agriculture has been too much neglect.sd as a science, leaving the tilling of the soil , to the chances of ignorance, while manufactures have ever received the foster ing attention of Government. A new era has begun to dawn, distinguished for patent reapers, mowers, ploughs, and planters, that would rather astonish the old Agricolas ; and -why may not equal improvements be mede in growing the crops, when a knowledge of soils, sub-soils, and composts is more generally dif fused ? The Voice of Illinois THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY.—In pursuance of public notice, a large and enthusiastic meeting of members of the Democratic party from various. parts of the State, assembled in the hall of the House of Representatives, at Springfield, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 13th, 1858. Col:: McClernand, from the committee on resoldtions, reported and read the following : Whereas, There appears to be a difference of opinion as to the true intent and meaning of the Kansas-Nebraska act, and as to the application of the principles of that act to the existing form of the Kansas question, there fore : Resolved ; That we reiterate, as the bond of union between the national Democracy, the platform of the party adopted at Cincinnati by their accredited representatives, and rec osnisti the same as the authoritative exposi tion of its principles. Resolved, That the Cincinnati platform, and the true intent and meaning thereof, binds the Democracy of the Union to guaranty to the people of each Territory of the United States the right of fully ratifying, by the majority vote cf such Territory, each and ev ery provision of the Constitution under which they .apply for admission into the Federal Union:• Resolved, That it would be equally contrary to reason and justice, that in a seeming an tagonism of form and substance, the latter should be sacrificed to the former, or that the essential rights and liberties of the people should . be made to yield to the authority of a mere technical rule—and, therefore; we as Democrats insist, that any act to be passed by Congress, unconditionally admitting Kan sas as a State into the Union under the Le compton Coastitution, upon the ground of an implied assent on the part of the people of that Territory to that Constitution, contrary to the: fact, would be an unwarranted and un righteous assumption of power on the part of Congress, and an unjust and oppressive exer cise of the same, particularly towards the people of Kansas. Resolved, That when a Territory forms a Constitution without au enabling act by Con gress, and asks for admission under the same, such"applicatkm should be regarded as a pe tition for the redress of grievances ; and to receive a 'State into the Union under a Con stitution' thus formed, in opposition to the knoWn wishes of the majority of the citizens of such Territory, 'is a violation of the prin ciples of popular sovereignty as declared in the Kansas-Nebraska act. Resolved, That the Illinois Democracy con sider that-the foregoing principles have ever constituted a vital and essential portion of the acknOwledged political creed of the Demo cratic party . of the United States ; that they combatted for and triumphed with them in the last Presidential election; that they stand pledged to maintain them before the country, and' lhat they cannot and will not disavow theM. - - Reiolved, That the Democracy of Illinois fully endorse the positions taken by the Ron. Stephen A. Douglas, our distinguished Sena tor, in the recent debates in the Senate of the United . States in support and vindication of the -faregoing principles I and propositions ; that-they approve his course, and arc proud of the ability • with which he has sustained himself as a faithful exponent of the princi ples of the National Democracy. Colonel J. A. McClerna.nd, Colonel Robert Blackwell, Hon: 0. B. Ficklin; Hon. C. L. Higbee, 3. L. McConnell, severally addressed the-Meeting in lucid and eloquent speeches, in support of the resolutions, which were re peatedly interrupted Eby the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled multitude pf Demo crats present: • The question on the adoption of the resolu tions being.then put .by the president, they were adopted unanimously. The King of Delhi's Mode of Execution. The following has been communicated to the Poona Observer: It appears from a jour nal of a European traveller ; that a new and fearful mode of execution has been adopted by the King of Delhi. The instrument and process are thus described: A box, each side of which is fifteen feet square, is con structed of timber eighteen inches thick, dove-tailed together; and braced with iron rods. The outside of the bottom of the box is covered with a plate of beaten iron, one inch in thickness. The interior is filled with perfect cubes of granite, weighing in the ag gregate several thousand tons. A machine is erected after the manner of an ordinary pile-driver, but of course, on an enormous scale, and of tremendous strength. The mass is raised by powerful machinery cast in Bir mingham for the express purpose, though it is to be presumed that the machinist by whom it was furnished had no idea of the horrid purpose for which it was intended.— The human victim is placed upon a block of granite, of a corresponding surface, buried in the earth immediately beneath the enor mous mass, and covered with a plate of iron. At a signal given by the vicramadack the ex ecutioner touches a spring, the mass falls, and the victim, crushed at once, is suddenly annihilated, and spread out like a sheet of pasteboard! The huge weight being again raised, the flattened body is withdrawn and dried in the sun. When completely prepared it is hung over the wall of a public building, there to serve as a warning to the multitude. $45,000 00 A Mad Bult—Exciting Chase. On Monday morning a bull, which had been taken to a .slaughter-house in Stanton street, broke loose and rushed into the street. It was pursued to the corner of Chrystie and llester streets, where a large number of boys took chase after the animal, which ran bel lowing through Chrystie and Division streets into East Broadway. As he passed the Se venth Ward station house, with a whole crowd in pursuit, the captain of police order ed five officers to follow the bull, which they did, and were led on a most exciting chase. On he ran, down Pike stieet, into South, and thence through Gouverneur into Grand street. The officers fired at the animal with their re volvers as he ran, which only had the effect to infuriate him ; everywhere the streets were instantly cleared, as the bull a,ppered tearing along almost at railroad speed. At the foot of Rivington street the bull ran into the cor poration yard. Here he received a volley of stones and bullets, when he clambered up a pile of stones and scaled a fence eight feet high. He then ran through Goerek street into a tree-nail yard, in Third street. Here a rope, which he carried round his horns, was made fast to a post, and another and furious onset was made upon the poor brute. He was struck on the head with mauls and clubs, stabbed with knives on the side and neck, and pistol shots were discharged into his body. The only - effect of all this appeared to be to enrage him. For nearly twenty minutes he kept his enemies at bay, dodging the blows of the uplifted maul and club. Finally, he was assaulted with a Upad-axe ; but it was not until his head was literally chopped half off that he was finally killed.—N. Y.

See adver tisement. "UxuArrr IRELAND" NO LONGER.—One of the Dublin papers thus raises a shout of grateful exultation over the present condition of Ireland : "We can hardly be grateful enough for the high position our own Ireland holds. Here no banks have stopped payments—nay, by wisely assisting trade, they are paying un heard of dividends. No manufacturing es tablishments have failed, throwing out of em ployment numerous hands. The storm reach ed us and passed over, leaving us unscathed. Possibly as we are deprived of the profits re sulting from gigantic factories, so also are we free from their fluctuations. Probably the terrible lessons which our country learned at so fearful a price in former visitations wrought their effect, and we are wiser and better men. Thanks be to God, our harvests were great. What trade we have is steady; our people have abundant work, the necessa ries of life are cheap. We are informed that thousands of our peasantry who left our fam ine stricken land. years ago, are threatening to return. Let them come; they will be wel comed. We shall find work for all. Glad, only too glad shall we be if, in the western land they sought and now fly from, they have learned industry and prudence." A DESPERATE Prusosnu—At York, Pa., on Monday, four persons were arrested on a charge of creating a. disturbance. One of them, named Fisher, made a desperate resistance, and assaulted High Constable Ruby and sev eral citizens with a long-bladed knife, but without doing them any injury. The York Republican says : It was with much difficulty that he was tied, thrown into a wagon and conveyed to jail. When he arrived there ho managed to get a bar of iron, with wheh he assaulted one of the keepers, injuring him somewhat. When in the cell he tore off the spiggot of the hydrant, which he threw with much force at those outside, who narrowly escaped feel ing its weight. He then broke up some of the wood work inside, with which he made a club, and swore he would knock out the brains of any persons who should enter the cell. His conduct was such that the sheriff ordered him to be shot, and two balls were fired at him, one of which grazed one leg, and the other ball took effect in the other leg. He then submitted—the ball was extracted, when he asked to eee it, and swallowed it im mediately, BUSINESS NOTICES. nighly Important CHARLES HARKNESS & SON, WhOieSa/e Clothiers, 338 Mar ket Street, (South-east Corner of Fourth Street,) PIIILA DELPHIA, Have determined to CLOSE OUT their ELEGANT STOCK of new Style Fall and Winter Clothing, at =IMMENSE RE DUCTION on the regular prices.

Don't cry out, "Humbug'. Lottery !" It's no such thing. The Pencils are sold at their cash value, and all the profits over the first cost are thrown into the gifts, which actually cost the purchaser nothing. The prizes aro distributed on a simple plan of drawing, which would take too much room to explain, but which has never failed to give complete satisfaction. We have drawn and sent to purchasers IS3 gold watches of various prices, 7.1 purses of gold dollars, 2.38 gold lockets, 850 gold chains, and a corresponding number of other prizes, within two months. THERE ARE NO BLANKS, but every purchaser draws a prize worth V. certain, and it stands thousands of chances to be a higher figure. We want a good agent in every neighborhood through out the country, to solicit purchasers, and any agent, to be successful, must have a Pencil and prize to exhibit.— 'We pay agents cash for each purchaser he obtains, and the first person in any neighborhood who applies for a Pencil and gift, will receive the agency for that locality.— Should an agent obtain a valuable prize to exhibit with his Pencil, he would have little difficulty in obtaining scores of purchasers, and making it a paying business. A NEW IDEA! READ!! READ!!! We ask nobody to send their money till they I:now what prize they draw. Any person wishing to try their luck, can first send us their name and address, and we will make their drawing and inform them by return mail what prize they drew, when they can send on and take the Pencil and prize, or not, whichever they choose. We give this privi lege only once to a purchaser. After the first drawing, ev ery purchaser will he required to send in advance, through the authorized agent. We will send with each drawing the number. taken out, with full description of the plan of drawing. Address C. B. TODD & CO.. 392 Broome Street, New York. January 13,1857.

UNRIVALLED ATTRACTIONS !- EMERSON'S MAGAZINE AND PUTNAM'S MONTHLY, MO GREAT MAGAZINES IN ONE!! NINETY THOUSAND COPIES THE FIRST MONTH!!! MAGNIFICENT PROGRAMME FOR 1958. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SPLENDID WORKS OF ART. FIVE-DOLLAR. ENGRAVING TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER. THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER-AGENTS GETTING RICH 1 !!! The union of Emerson's Magazine and Putnam'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 cou 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 tho new vol ume 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 year 1858. It was engraved at a cost of over ~ `.5,000, by the celebrated A. L. Dick, from the original (...)f 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 impressions of this engraving are held at ten dollars, and it was the intention of the artist that none or 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 for 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 send in their subscriptions without delay. The engraving can be scut on rollers, by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers shall order. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAIIS IN WORKS OP In addition to the superb engraving of " The Last Sup per," which w ill he presented to every three-dollar sub scriber for 185 S, the publishers have completed arrange ments for the distribution, on the 25th of December, 1808, of a series of splendid works of art, consisting of ono hun dred rich and rare Oil Paintings, valued at from $lOO to $l,OOO each. Also 2,000 magnificent Steel-Plate 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.

AND MACHINE COMPANY, CATITAL, TWO lIUNDAED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS This company has been organized with the above capital for the purpose of supplying the. demand for the COMBINATIO-N PORTABLE STE..-111 SAIS-MILL, and other improved machinery. They have purchased the entire machinely business here tofore carried on by L M. Emerson S. Co., alsd 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 mere liberal rates, than has ever been offered at any other establishment. The Combinatiim Saw-Mill was patented October, 1836, 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 those who are using the Combination Mill : MESSRS. EgErtsox & Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried the saw-mill purchases of you, and will say that it performs weli, and more than meets my expectations. I am well pleased With its performance. I set it upon asmall stream that afforded constant water abort as thick as my little f.nger, which was much more than sufficient to supply the boiler. We are able to cut 3.000 feet of beautiful lumber in 12 hours; with something less than one cord of wood.— It is the very thing we have so much needed in our county fora; long time. With a little trouble and expense, We are able to move it from five to ten miles per 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 mill.

Ffuntingdon, Jaefison's Hotel, Tuesday, February 16 Hollidaysburg, Exchange Hotel, 15 Lewistown, National hotel, 17 Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Larry ugittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs. by Medical Inhalation, lately used in the I:mutton Hospital, London. The great point in the treatment of all human maladies, is to got at the disease in the direct manner.— medicines are estimated by their action upon the 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 lunge. Medicines are antidotes to clii.ease and should be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs, for it gives us 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 Consuinptiom and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted 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 so administered that they should only act Con stitutionally' expending their immediate and principal ac tion upon the unotrending stomach, whilst thu foul ulcers within the lunge were unmolested.' Inhalation brings the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without the disadvantage of any violent action. Its appliCation is SO simple, that it can be employed by thu youngest infant or feeblest invalid. It does nut derange the stomach, or in terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or business of the patient. Other Diseases Treata—lu relation to the following dis eases, either hen complicated with lung affections or ex isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them promptly curable. Pr - olapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir reguhirities and Weakness.
