Over two hundred accidents from kick ing and runnin•:; away or horses occurred during tho past year, in Lancaster county alone Pearly all of which resulted in inju ring the drivers, killing some, nia!ming and wounding others, and in most cases, breaking costly earriau. , ,.s and hurling the horses. Of the above, nine-tenths were tame family horses. The safety bridle will pul an end to all such needless accidents, and with the Safely Lines the speed of every horse is easily much. in-creased. At the special fleetin g of the Saddlers of Lancaster city, NOV. :27,1805, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The user alness, power rind 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 :,atisraction; and since it was proven at the Ali llersvi I le horse exhibition on four or the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible IC! a horse either to kick or runaway; therefore, fic..yolvea. That wu the Saddlers of Len easter county, l'a., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines accomplish all and oven tuore, than is vlahned by the patentee, in preventing horses front kicking and run ning away. Re , olved, that in vie:V of the above facts we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi vidually :tad c , llectively, to exert all hon orable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, lieeaus.e iu doing SO "we in :t Very great nwasure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. ii!eso/ned, That hereafter we manutheture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual flights is $5 each; County Rights, from 100.00 to 500.00 accor ding to population—these containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public presents such inducements of making money. In every county there aro at least twenty townships, and. in each township at least one hundred persons who drive horses—which at 11 . , e dollars for an indi vidual right will amount to $5OO per town ship, and ten thousand dollars (rit0,000) for each county at Ow rate of twenty townsnips at live hundred dollars each ! 7 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 few are so poor as to be unable to raise one 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 orde..., and these can bo made by any saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold. No man need wish for a greater fortune than right of a State. To show the confi dence the patantee has in his invention,he offers 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 rights address for circular, and. for Individual Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Hart man, Millersville, Lancaster co., Pa. dec. 9 JACOB S.

The fiat went forth at the hour ofman's birth— The fiat of death, and the sign of decay ; And ev'rywhore now on this sin-trammelled earth., Bests the incubus, death-doom of •"passing away." But the love of the sonl,an.l the love of man's heart Like the love of the Infinite, liveth for aye ; For the love of man's soul is a fractional part, Of the Author and Master of " passing away." =EI Break! Heart, oh! break and end my pain, Cease life to live,—thy loss my gain; Oh spirit fold thy broken wing; End we in death, our sorrowing,. Some Love perchance beyond the grave Will reach Divinest armei to save; Some Gate of Peace, ajarmlay be, And o'er its threshhold welcome me, Oh ! Heart be sttll ! thy writhing cease! See! yonder is the Gate of Peace, Break now, and let no after pain Sheadte dazgers:in thy life again! Oh! azure day, oh! cloud-flecked sky, Why smile on me uo smiles have I, No joy for me unquenched in sighs, No morning fair, but storms arise. MEssits. Enrroas :—The Temperance question is exciting the public mind,and I thought that perhaps an article on that subject would be acceptable to the read ers of the Spy. _ Temperance men now assume high ground. They assert that Ille use of in toxicating liquor as a beverage is a sin against God and society ; that it is a vio lation of every law, physical, social and moral, and that the manufacture and traffic is the greatest iniquity of the age. But it is not my purpose to discuss the physical, social or moral aspect of the question, but to glance at it in au economic point of view. 12 10 P. 'AI 300 P.M It would not be an exagerated esti ' mate to say that of our six thousand in habitahts, five hundred are addicted to the USC of intoxicatin-- drinks. Now, I am informed that .1.11 , er sells at five ets. per glass and rut gut at 10 cts., and other liquors in proportion. I presume six glasses of lager or three of tangle-foot is a fair average of the per diem a the gen tlemen whose corpulency is the result of extra " fat'' or blubber. This will make thirty cents a d.ty for each of these five hundred, which would :mount to forty seven thousand dollars in the course of a year.

Not only wasted, but employed to destroy the well being and happiness of society and lead teen to ruin. But this is not all The amount wasted through this iniquitous traffic ex ceeds the amount actually- spent. Sup posing one-fifth of these five hundred to I he unfitted for work or business during! one-third of their time, the amount of time thus lust to productive industry equal 10,0110 days, whieh,at t:- , "2 per day, amounts to $.20:000.

Now this same capital invested in a use ful business would bless the community and yield at least $lO,OOO. Then the capital employed to carry on the busi ness equals at least $25,000 which would yield $5,000 if employed in any branch of productive industry. RIM To this add the time and label of the fifty men employed in the traffic at $6OO per annum and this will equal $,30,000.

IVAsniNGToN, .March 16, 186(3 MESSRS. EDITORS,-SOWO time since I promised you a description of the great fresco picbure in the dome of the Capitol, I shall now endeavor to redeem my promise, but the great beauty of this master piece of art can only be appreci ated by being seen. Language is inade quate to express the rich coloring, the wonderous glow of light, the harmony and exquisite beauty of the figures. Looking up from the rotunde,it seems as though the Heavens had opened, and given us this glimpse of the future of our country. In the centre of the pic ture seen through clouds of rose, violet, and purple, which seem to be floating in the dome, is Washington, upon his right the Goddess of Liberty appears proclaim ing the glad tidings of freedom to all men, and on his left the Goddess of Victory and Fame sounding a trumpet. Before these central figures are a group of thir teen females forming a semicircle, and representing the thirteen original states, the head of each is crowned with a star, and joined together by an indissoluble bond of union, they bear aloft a banner on which is inscribed the motto of our Republic, ''E Pluribus Unum." The form and drapery of these figures together with the leaves and blossoms entwined in their hair betoken the States they repre sent, the delicate green of the Northern States deepening into the brighter and warmer tints of the South. Surrounding this central group are six.. others. The first is Freedom with upraised sword striking down tyranny and kingly power; auger, discord and revenge bearing the incendiary torch are fleeing from her wrath; an American Eagle standing by the side of Freedom, is assisting - with beak and talons in the struggle. The second is agriculture. Ceres with the hate of plenty scattering her bounteous gifts upon all the laud is in the centre; Voting America crowned with a liberty cap of red: controls a pair of horses at tached.to an American Reaper; the back ground is a mass of vegetation in which Flora can be seen gathering flowers, and Pomona bearing a basket of fruit. The next repre::euts the meeh-anical inti:rests of our country. Vulcan, the hero God of,,trength issarrounded with ni.tchinury, forges, mortars, and cannon balls. Ad- joining this is flu appropriate representa tion of commerce. Mercury holds in hand a bag of gold to which he is directing the attention of llohert Morris, the Fiean cier of the Revolution, in the back ground arc boxes and bales of merchandise with two sailors pointing to a gunboat in the distance. Beside this is Neptune bear ing his trident, and riding triumphantly in his car. The beautiful Venus holds in her hand the Atlantic Cable, and is about dropping it into the sea. This group strikingly symbolizes our naval power. The last represents the arts and sciences. Minerva, the Goddess of Wis dom with helmet and spear is surrounded by the familiar faces of Franklin, Fulton, and Morse : all meekly receiving her teachine.s. - - You have here the details of this master work, and that is all. The brand effect of the whole as seen from a di-tance of two hundred feet, I have not attempted. An artist's soul con ceived ; an artiz-t's pencil dedicated it, and it would require an artist's pen to describe it. The officers of the Monitor "Miautau onuch," (now at this Navy lard,) gave a grand ball on board their vessel one evening last week. The stern deck was cleared, au awning spread, and closely fastened down at the sides, handsomely festooued,and decorated with flags. The Marine Band discoursed excellent music, the ladies were fair, and all hands danced with much zest "till the wee small hours." Au eiefant collation was served in the ward room. The scene was noble; the stretch of canvass; the light from the suspended lamps bringing out in strong relief, here a group, and there weaving fantastic shadows out of the flowing dra pery and quickly moving figures. We were ferried to the shore by six stout sailors, an officer gave the guard the password, and the cars soon landed us safely :It our respective homes. Fred Douglass dcliv red a lecture on Saturday evening last, on the "Issue of the day." Judge Kelley presided over the meeting, and a few remarks were made by Senators Yates, Wilson, and Gen. Howard.

Romance in Real Life. Last week Thomas W. 'Webster was tried in our county for the Murder of his father, in Montgomery township, in July last. Thomas and his father, Wm. Webster, a man aged 64 years, had a quarrel about a horse, when the old gen tleman struck the son with a club; and then the son ran to the . ,wood pile, sicced the axe and in a transport of passion hit the father on the head and killed him. The son is 23 years of age, and has a wife and child. lie was arrested and brought to our jail. And then, fur the first time, he learned that althoursl Wm. Webster whom he had killed was, his father, yet Mrs. Webster, the widow was not his mother. It seems that when this unfortunate man was a child only 13 months old, one cold rainy day he was laid upon the front door step of Wm. Webster's house, and Mrs. Webster took in the little foundling and took care of it. Win. Webster said the child should be theirs and that was all that was known about it. And straingo as it may seem that during the twenty-two years they lived together afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Webster never discussed or men tioned, or alluded to the facts connected with the origin of the child. While Thomas was in jail his real mother, reading the account of the! tragedy in the papers, came to Norris town and visited him the first time,saying Mrs. Webster whom he had always sup posed to be his mother, j was hot his mother in reality, but that the lady present was. His astonishment can be better imagined than described. We dout give her name because she is a very worthy woman, is well and re spectably married to a successful business man,and when she gave birth to Thomas she was a young girl only about 17 years of age, while Win. Webster,the deceased was about 40. She has watched the progress of her son with anxious solici tude, and has don_t ail iu her power to secure him au able defence. Seduction aunt nurder. The Chicago Rept/Jib:au contains the following dispatch, dated Indianapolis, Ind., March 6: A. horrible tragedy occurred in :Bed ford last night. it seems that Prof. J. Madison Ev::ro, in regard to whom there was some scandal a short time ago, had seduced a daughter or Dr. Benjamin Newland. The doctor s daughter had been oil at a boardin!! .. -school, when her condition became so apparent that she was tent home, where she confessed all to her father. The doctor took his pistol and one of his dissectin:r knives,and went to Evans' house. The latter was not at home. Newland went to hunt him, and found him in the street, where be shot him down, and then cut hint to pieces with the knife. Evans was a minister of the Uhriz.:tian church, and a man who at one time occupied a high pusition,and is well known as the author of a work entitled "The Pioneer Preacher of Indi ana." Ile at one time occupied a chair in the Northwestern Christian University of this city. v:Vit . :lol .reach Itzoxidy is made of in New York. An investigation into some of the illicit distilling operations which have been carried on very extensively in Gotham elicited the fact that French brandy is manut4ctured from the worn-out rollers which printers use to ink their types.— These rollers are made of glue and molas ses, and it appears that when they are no longer lit for use they are taken and. boiled, to separate the glue from the sac charine matter coutaided in thern,and the latter substance, by distillation. is con verted into an alcoholic liquor from which brandy is made. To persons of delicate taste this association of printers' rollers with the popular liquid will not render the officinal brandy more. attrac tive, but veteran Libbers will hardly be deterred front indulgence by the nausea ting refiection.—Phita. Dui/z/ —The manufacturing cities of the country, ranged according tej the value of their products, are as follows : New . York, $159,107,309; Philadelphia,sl3s,- 979,777; Pittsburgh, $110,000,000; Cin cinnati, $40,000,000; B rookiyu,s:34,ooo,- 000; St. Louis, $21,000,000. In pro portion to her population, Pittsburgh far outranks any other city in the country. The Secretary of the Interior mentions the 101 cities that do the chief manu facturing- for America. The total value of their manufactured products is $874,- this,l'itt,burgh contrihutes more than one eighth. —Female loveliness never appears to so great advantage as when set off with simplicity of dress. No artist ever decks his angels with towering - feathers and grand jewelry; and our dear human angels, it' they would make good their title to that name, should carefully avoid Ornaments which properly belong to Indian squaws and African princes.— These tinselries may serve to give effect on the stage or upon a ball room floor but in daily life there is no substitute for simplicity. A vulgar taste is not to be disguised by gold or diamonds.
