Mr Thomas J. Bigham, Connnission
; er< 1 s.atisticsof this State, lias prepar
ed. i:i advance of his annual nqioi t, a
very interest ing tabular statement of the
J "wealth, taxation, estimated ami true
! valuation and public indebtedness of
j Pennsylvania." From this we learn
that the aggregate assessed value of
real ( state in nli the counties is $1,087,
793,8-14, and the assessed value of perso
nal property $85,599,429, making the
total assessed value of property of both
kinds $1,172,966,977. The Conimis
i sinner, however, asserts the well-known
fact that this fictitious value is very j
much less than the actual value, and
he has attempted upon his own respon
sibility, without having positive data
, with which to work, to attain an ap
proximation to the real value. The re
sult thus secured places the real and
personal estate of Pennsylvania at
$3,475,831,851. Mr. Bigham informs
us that " in a few counties, in Chester,
Delaware and Erie, and measurably in
Montgomery and Philadelphia, the as
.s ssed creditably approaches the real
value, while in others the assessed is
shamefully below the cash value; in one
county, Luzerne, it is only one-four
teenth." — Pxchanye.

The Singer Still Triumphant. —At the
Vienna Exhibition the Singer received
the Medal of Merit, the Medal of Pro
gress. and three other Medals for supe
riority of productions. These are the
highest Sewing Machine Awards at Vi
enna- The Singer received all the Me d
als awarded to either of the competing
Machines, and two Medals more than
any other obtained. Then, in the name
of truth, what is it that prompts people
to claim recommendations for the I)i
--ploniaof Honor? The fact is no Diplo
ma of Honor has been given to any Sew
ing Machine Company.
The sickly season is at hand; the great

use of Rohrer's Tonic will
invigorate tbe system, brace up the shat

cure any case of Diarrhoea, Dysentery

Manufacturers of the celebrated Sarven
Wheel, the Rover Combination and

and Wagon Woodwork of every de
scription.
Actual wear and hard usage is the
best test of the strength and durability
of a wheel, and they have proved the
Sarven Patent to wear longei than three
or four sets of the best obi-style wheels.
When about to purchase a buggy, car
riage or wagon, see that your carriage
maker uses our make of the Sarvn
wheel. There are so many inferior pa
tent wheels in the market that it will
lie to your interest to stipulate for the
Sarven —as it is now conceded to be the
only perfectly reliable wheel in use.

Shcpartl, at Simmons' Regulators,
says he will give a laboring man or lady
more goods for the same amount of mo
ney than any other man will in the Uni
ted States.
Don't forget that < . H. Simmons, the
Merchant Prince of Wellsville, is yet in
trade larger than ever, and that his
twenty-live years' experience in this
market enables him to give his custom
ers the iiest goods and latest styles at
the lowest living rates. Be sure and
call and examine his stock, and be con
vinced that a dollar saved is worth two
earned.
Great run on a well known Institu
tion. —The famous Regulator man, C.
11. Simmons' Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5, Wells
ville, N. Y. lias recently been subjected
to an extraordinary pressure—the pres
sure of crowds of sufferers that have
lieeii in the habit of buying from small
dealers and paying enormous prices.
Money being scarce, they have seem
ingly all made a grand rush to the place
where they get the greatest amount oi"
goods for the smallest amount of mon
ey. The popularity of this establish
ment is boundless and will last, for it
is built on a solid foundation; one hun
dred thousand dollars being the corner
stone. This well known establishment
might justly lie called a savings bank
from the numbers of dollars it has saved
the people for the last ten years. From
its very infancy high prices have bad
to vanish like dew before the morning
sun.
To the Citizens of Pennsylvania.—
Your attention is specially invited to
the fact that the National Banks are
now prepared to receive subscriptions
to tbe Capital Stock of the Centennial
Board of Finance. The funds realized
from this source are to be employed in
the erection of the buildings for the In
ternational Exhibition, and the expenses
connected with the same. It is confi
dently believed that the Keystone State
will be represented by tbe name of every
citizen alive to patriotic commemora
tion of the one hundredth birthday of
the nation. The shares of stock are of
fered for $lO each, and subscribers will
receive a handsomely steel engraved
1 Certificate of Stock, suitable for fram
ing and preservation as a national me
morial.
Interest at the rate of six percent,
per annum will be paid on all payments
of Centennial Stock from date of pay
ment to January 1, lß7t>.
