Over two hundred accidents from kick ing and running away of horses occurred during the past year, in Lancaster eounty alone nearly all of which resulted in inju ring the drivers, killing sonic, maiming and wounding others, and in most cases, breaking costly carriages and hurting the horses. „ . Of the above, ,nine-tenths. Were tame 'in:CM.Fti2mili **it 4teddlesSrtieeidi-n6; and' with 'the Safety. Lines the" speed of.every horse is easily much increased. ' At the special meeting of the Saddlers of Lancaster city, Nov. '27, 1865, the' tbllowing resolutions were unanimously adopted : Wm.:in-:As, The usefulness, power and safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from one thousand to fifteen hundred persons to their entire satisfaction; and since it was proven at the Millersville horse exhibition on that• of the most vicious anti confirmed kickers a nd runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible tbr a horse either to kick or runaway; therefore .11e8o/ved, That we the Saddlers of Lan caster county, l'a., believe that the Safety Bridle 811(1 Lines accomplish all and oven more, than is claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses from kicking and run 'ling away. Re.“,/ced, that in view of the above facts we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi vidually and collectively, to exert all hon orable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we in a very great measure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. Resolvcd,That hereafter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual Rights is s's each; County Rights,-front 100.00 to 300.00 accor ding to population 7 these containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public presents" such inducbments of making money. In every county there are at least twenty townships, and in each township at least one hundred persons who drive horses—which at five dollars for an indi vidual right will amount to 500 per town ship, and ten thousand dollars (=,',f10,000) for each county at the rate of twenty towusnips at five hundred dollars each 1 ] have not, the least doubt but that amount of money can be made out of a county with proper business tact and energy. The price of counties is so small as to place the invest ment in the hands of every one, for lbw are so poor as to be unable to raise ono hun dred dollars. Another feature about this invention is that the proprietor of the territory, need not manufacture the bridles and lines 'as the ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a Safety. The lines only require to be made to order, and these can be made by any saddler for a_trifie more than the ordinary lines. Hence,.': : unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold." Ist:o mall need wish for a greater fortune than right of a State. To show the confi dence the,patantee has in his invention,he otlerS to - pay 1;000 dollars for any horse that can either kick or run away 'when , under the influence of the Safety Bridle and Lines: For County and State ri,ghts address for circular, and for Individual Rights, enclose five dollars to S.

To-day however I was lying on my lounge which is near a window opening toward the south. Hill and valley are covered with snow, and this snow is en crusted with glassy ice. As the sun drew round toward the west, all the vast area of snow-covered fields and mountain slope seemed is a blaze of dazzlimg white light ; and as I looked on the glorious scene, I remembered the following "ex- ercise." It was summer time ; and with a gay party of kindred spirits I started on a visit across the river to It— Island.— Before we started I put iu my pocket a few globules of my enchanted stimulant and about noon as we landed at the bathing place, I swallowed my usual allowance and ate a hearty meal. After my comrades had smoked their after-din ner cigars, we started down the Island to a famous fishing place. Tho distance was not great, but it caused us to walk over the hot sand beneath a scorching sun, and before we had gone half the distance, I felt the starting thrill that announces the first working of the drug. My blood was heated by the exertion of walking, and I soon felt that I was about to pass through no ordinary exper ience. However I tottered onward pant ing, and gasping for breath, while the way seemed interminable, until C— who was with me noticing my condition took my cap and dipped it in the water. This cooled my brain for a few minutes, and before my fever grew again too great to bear we had reached our destination. $1647,175,13 The fishing place was known for miles around- as the White Rock ; and was formed by a large outcreeping vein of serpentine, that passed through the lower end of the island, and out into the river forming a deep eddy where the fish were ever abtindant. A few low bushes af forded the only protection from the sun, but the excitement, and the fresh air from the water, kept the heat from be ing felt, by those who were in health.— To me, however, the sun seemed coming nearer and hotter every moment, while my temples throbbed, and my heart seemed as though it would burst from my b. - soot. At length my agony became such that I rose from the side of my friend and bidding him not to follow, $1647,175,13 moctrg. BY \V r. G. COMERFORD it l'salut of Oil.

As I walked they seemed to recede, and at length to my amazement they vanished altogether and I stood all alone in the midst of a vast desert. I looked around me and on every side there was an endless expanse of arid sand which grew in the sun light with a fervor like that of melted iron. My tongue was fast to the roof of my mouth and my eyes seemed fixed in my head. Utterly exhausted I sank down on the burning sand and tried to remember where I was. All at once I became aware of a most dread silence.— Not a feature in all nature gave a single sound of life or motion. One great dread silence seemed to have swallowed me up, and I felt myself sinking down, down through numberless leagues of unanswer ing silence. Then while on my horrid journey I remembered how I came there. I know not what suggested the thought, but I remembered far back in the past. Centuries ago I had cursed the principle of' life, and had sworn to seek out a land where nothing lived there to exist alone. Memory led me back along a weary road beyond that fearful oath. Every step was over graves. Here I had buried a loved one ; there were covered the leaves °fa favorite flower ; and beyond, I had buried my cherished song bird. I re membered that every thing I had ever loved had died when she too withered under my eyes I had taken that dreadful oath. Now I understood it all. The spirit that ruled this dread empire to which I had been brought, was iu me far away in the past. I could trace it all along. An awful necessity had ruled over me. The spirit of blasting heat, of killing silence had, unknown to me, taken possession of' my body and issued from my eyes, thus it was that all I loved had died. My glance prompted. by love had been death. Oh the dread horror of that moment of awakening.— How I cursed the foul spirit that had ruled in me —that • g I elled--:me • onward loved, and at length by some iiiygteriaiii` influence, had compelled me to come here—here where it reigned supreme. c l I looked around with frenzied eye for the:spirit of this burning realm. I called upon it with every form of oath, and prayer, but a silence so deep, was not to be moved even to an echo. At length wearied I sank down and a thought of escape presented itself'. I would wait until night should drown the sun, and then I would escape. Vain hope. The sun was fixed, no night would. come, to relieve me of my awful suffering ' l " i ' now much longer I could have borne the anguish I was in without becomino. 0 hopelessly mad I fear to contemplate.-- Bat with the realization of the fixedness of that burning sun I gave a shriek of agony so loud that my companions heard my cry, and came to my assistance.— They found me iu a small basin of sand that had been hollowed out by the wind, 1 and from the bottom of which nothing was visible but the barren waste around. Thus my fearful vision had a plausible foundation. In fact much more of reality than is generally necessary to produce the wildest fantasia in one, well under the influence of Hasheesh. A thorough ducking in the river brought me to consciousness, and in fif teen minutes I was able to tell the story that I have here attempted to relate.— This was even a mild experience when compared with some of the scenes through which 1 passed. Yet it was of no use to me as a warning to abstain from my fearful habit. Bright forms still beckon ed to brilliant islands wasted by gorgeous seas. Music from another world drown ed the shrieking of demons that at times surrounded me, and I stopped not until a hundred deaths seemed to stare me in the thee at once. Yet until the hand of God was reached forth for my rescue. Is it necessary to ask my reader not to attempt even for a single time this treacherous means of pleasure ? —lt is calculated that the annual in come of the Government from taxes of all kinds will be something like $455,000,- 000, or $l5 per head of the entire popu lation.

[WHOLE NUMBER 1,90 I- Odds and Ends. BY A:4 ICUS Persons possessing the time, means and inclination for travel generally turn their attention to the Old World. They must gaze upon the fast decaying vesti ges of by-gone ages. They imagine they shall never be happy till they have seen the "homes and haunts" and renowned creations of the poet and painter. Of late another and a fresher field has been opened to the wonder and admira tion of the world, beyond our wcstern hills. The tales which travelers tell of the wonders there enclosed are such as almost stagger belief. They are never theless true as has been well attested. Fitzhugh Ludlow, describing his jour ney, "Among the Mormons," says ; "Before we came to the North Platte we were astonished by a ship equaling in size the Great Eastern, even surpass ing it in beauty of outline, its masts of columnar sandstone snapped by a storm, ) its prodigious hulk laboring iu a gloomy sea of hornblendie granite, its deck ' houses shapes with perfect accuracy of imitation, still remaining in their place, and a wierd looking demon at the wheel steering it on to some invisible destruc tion. This naval statue (if its bulk for bid not the name) was carved out of a coarse millstone-grit by the chisel of the wind, with but slight assistance from the unfrequent rain storms of this region."* " Before we enter the " City of the Saints' let me briefly describe the great est not merely of the architectural curi osities, but, in my opinion, the greatest natural curiosity of any kind which I bave ever seen or heard of. Mind, too, that I remember Niagara, the Cedar Creek Bridge, and the Mammoth Cave when I speak thus of Church Buttes. They are situated a short distance from Fort Bridger; the overland road passes by their side. They consist of a sand stone bluff, reddish brown in color;rising with the abruptness of a pile of masonry from the, perfectly „level,:plain,,%eirt.yeid ,.:,y!-- lyi:coxinecte !the most remarkable of which is a cathe dral as colossal as St. Peter's, and com pletely relieved from the bluff on all sides save the rear, where a portico joins it with the main precipice. So far from requiring an effort of the imagination to recognize the propriety of its name, this church almDst staggers belief in the un assisted naturalness of its architecture.— It belongs to a style entirely its own.— Its main and lower portion is not divided into nave and transept, but seems like a system of huge semi-cylinders erected on their vases and united with re-entrant angles, their convex surface towards us, so that the ground plan might be called a species of quatre-foil. In each of the convex . faces is an ad mirably proportioned door-way, a Gothic' arch with deeply carved and elaborately fretted mouldings, so wonderfully per fect in imitation that you almost feel liko knocking for admittance. Between and behind the doors, alternating with fly ing buttresses,are deep niched wihdows, set with grotesque statues, Imaging from, the pigmy to the colossal size, represent-. ing demons rather than saints, though, some of the figures are costumed in the style of religious art, with flowing sacer dotal garments. The structure termi nates above in a double dome, whose figure may be imagined by supposing a. small acorn yet set on the truncated top of a large one (the horizontal diameter of" both being considerably longer in pro portion to the perpendicular,than is com mon with that fruit,) and each of these domes is surrounded by a row of prison shaped pillars, half column, half buttress in their united effect somewhat sim ilar to the exquisite columnar cntnurage of the central cylinder of the lean ing tower of Pisa. The result of this arrangement is au aerial yet massive beauty without parallel in the architec ture of the world. The Cathedral Buttes are a lesson for the architects of all christendom. ' Amazing' is the only word for this glorious work of nature."' AO:antic Monthly, Vol. XIII —The editor of the Louisville Journal, alluding to a recent interview with the President, says: "We expected to find the President weary and worn and hag gard. Never were we more mistaken. He was in the finest and most vigorous health, his face as fresh as in earliest manhood, ere the "storms of state" beat upon him, and as calm and serene and cheerful as if only the responsibilities of a private citizen rested upon him. It would have been evident to any onc,seeing him as we saw him,that he is a firm reso lute, self-poised man, confident, but not vainly or arrogantly confident,in his own strength, and as immovable as a rock or mountain in his own strength, and as immovable as a rock or mountain in his own deep and fixed purposes. His will is like his frame, and that is of iron." For the Spy. gLous:e
