- to buy a LARGE QUANTITY OF AM. KINDS OF
GRAIN, for which he will pay the CASH, as high as the
market will afford, according to quality. Any person
having good \\ heat will do|v\ clI to call and show a sum
j,la'before they sell, as he thinks lie can atford to give
MOIiK than any person in the place. Those not wishing
to sell and wanting to store, he will receipt after harvest
t.i h.- kept to the Ist of December, and after that time lie
v\ ill give a receipt to he kept to the Ist of August, as he
will wish to close al! his accounts twice a year, and will
not keep uny over unless he makes a written contract to
that efiect. It the person holding the receipt does not
x. il before the above days, it will be carried out to their
credit al market price at the above named time. In giv
ing a receipt, i! the wheat is not good, he will mention
the reduction ier bushel in the receipt, so that when the
owner conies to sell there will be no difficulty.
All wheat left in store he will reserve the privilege of
buwng, when the owner wishes to sell, at 13 cents less
t lan Philadelphia price when the canal is open, and Ift
roils less when it is closed, and if lie should not buy at
t isse prices, he will only charge one cent per bushel for
storage. No interest will be allowed on money left with
hau for grain, as he will be prepared at all times to pay
the cash.
He will keep all kinds of FI.OI'R and FEED for sale,
but the orders must be left in the office in the mill, and the
cash paid, before the Flour or Feed will be delivered.
This arrangement is made to prevent any disappointment,
as there is no person that hag any privilege of selling but
the Rook-keeper, who enters it on the book and puts the
order on a wire for the porter to deliver. This will pre
\citt anv mistake from being made in the filling of orders

HAIMISBURG, PENN'A.
rjnllE business of this company is conducted
X by the only true and equitable method in
the system of mutual insurance—that of CLAS
SIFYING THE RISKS —thus affording more equal
benefit to the insured. The Directors, in ac
cordance with the provisions of the charter,
divide their risks into two distinct classes, no
part of the funds of either being appropriated
for the payment of losses occurring in the other.
In the first class, which is denominated THE
FARMER'S COMPANY, dwellings, barns, out-build
in <rs, and personal property ONLY, situated in the
country, are insured.
IN the second class, called THE MERCHANT'S
COMPANY, the safer kind of property in towns
and villages may be insured. Hazardous pro
perty is not allowed to be taken at all; and it
i believed that the terms of insuiancc and con
ditions of the policies of this company are more
favorable than those of any other company in
the State.

WA R Iff SPR IN GS,
PERRY COUIJTY, PA
THE undersigned begs leave to inform the public, that
L he has recently purchased the Warm Springs, in
Perry county, Pa , and has improved and refurnished the
buildings for the entertainment of visiters, in a style
calculated to ensure comfort and convenience To all who
may feel disposed to patronize tin: establishment.
These springs are situated on the banks of and empty
into Sherman's creek, a stream associated with the thrill
ing scenes between the early settlers of that part of
Pennsylvania and the aborigines, whose hunting grounds
lay on its margin. They are 11 mites from Carlisle,
(through which the Cumberland Valley Railroad passes
from Chambersbnrg to Ilarrisburg.) from which place
visiters can at al! times procure excellent conveyances.
Those also from the east, w i hing to reach the springs by
the Central Railroad, tan do so by taking passage to the
Duncannon Iron Works, (13 miles distant from the
springs) where coaches are constantly in readiness to
convey them thither ; and those Cuming from the west
on the sauie road,can at all times obtain easy rout, yan
tes at the Railroad Hotel at Newport, which is but a few
miles distant from the springs.
The qualities of the water at these springs are most
extraordinary indeed for the speedy ami permanent cure
of SCHOf'CI. 7, 7 'I'TI'.H. Kruptions of the S/.;, and
in fact every species 'of Cutaneous Diseases. He has
hundreds of certificates, showing the wonderful cures
elici ted by using lltio water internally, and by bathing in
it, obtained as well from strangers as frotn those residing
in the immediate neighborhood of the springs, wit i have
not only experienced the infallible elficai y of the water
themselves, hut witnessed the same upon others. Prof.
JAMES C. BOOTH has analyzed the waters, and found
them to contain 0 2 grains of solid matter in the gallon,
which is composed as follows :
Carbonate of lime, - - - 2 ftCT
" inniMiem.i . . 1 U'<w
Alkaline salts, chiefly chlorides, with a por
tion of sulphate, - - 1 003
eilicia ..... c 605
Organic matter, ... 2 b'JT
9.200
There are also at the same pi ice half a dozen of oilier
springs, of different descriptions, among which is one of
sulphur and one of cold water.
It may not be improper to state why a knowledge of the
extraordinary medical qualities of these springs lias not
been more extensively known than is indicated by llie
certificates of those only who have resided in their im
mediate neighborhood. Years ago the property fill into
the hands of a number of heirs, who were indisposed to
undertake the responsibility of making it a place of pub
lie entertainment —probably because the patronage of the
public would not have justified the undertaking, as at
that time (before the spirit of improvement had rend red
distant and difficult points of sj < rdv and cheap access,)
its location was out of the way, and the roads to it rough
and almost impassable At the death of Mr. Kennedy,
it fell into the hands of his heirs, neither of w hom seem
ed disposed to take hold of it, but leased it to tenants,
more for the cultivation of the land than a regard to the
use of tlio water It was finally rented to Mr Hippie,
(now proprietor of a large hotel in Tremont.Pa ) who
made arrangements to accommodate the public, and dur
ing his term many invalids availed themselves of this
opportunity to visit and test its medical qualities .Mr
Hippie however retired in a short time, and the property
again fell into the hands of the heirs, and remained so
until proceedings were instituted in the Orphans' Court
for its sale. It was ordered to he sold, and the subscri
ber became tile purchaser- l! will thus be seen that with
the exception of the short time it was held by Mr. Hip
pie, no efforts were made to bring it into notice.
Tiie country round the springs and neighborhood i- di
versified by cultivation and beautifully wild and pictu
resque scenery, abounding in game, while the stream
passing through the properly affords fine fishing. Every
attention will be pan] to the comfort ariti convenience of
guest--, and the charges so moderate, that all may avail
themselves of the benefits of the Water.
