Letter from Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. March 3.
curious story is current in our city just
esent, presenting one of the many chap
0f villainy to be found within the pur
of a large city. A well known and very
jnt Alderman was called at night to the
euce of a woman of questionable char
and on arriving found he was required
ill-form the marriage ceremony between
eniale specified and an old and well-to-do
■n, who has a family of grown children.
Alderman at once discovered that the
jentleman had been stupefied, either by
ging or with liquor, and therefore, under
nee of going hack to his office to get the
;r papers, returned and informed ane of
jns of the intended victim what was go
n. The son, with a constable, succeeded
tting the old gentleman away, and thus
■d nil ingenious plan to "raise the wind."
e ninth annual commencement of our
epathic Medical College was largely at
d by ladies, and about forty graduates
,ed diplomas.
sterday afternoon a middle aged man
fitted suicide by jumping from the Mar
street bridge into the Schuylkill. The ;
was recovered and an inquest held, lie
a ring upon his finger upon which was
ame of ilhatn IV ilson.
ere was a total of 213 interments in this :
during the week just closed. Of these

ses. 10 from scarlet fever, and 4 from !

and semi-annual commencements. The Phil
adelphia College of Medicine, on Satqrdav,

The Female Medical College also turned out !

of our many paltry "conspiracy" cases ;
oSaturday had a well merited, though ainu
tiag termination. A petty dealer in contra-
BK3 "policies" sued a brace of our Herman ;
■Tow citizens for extorting mosey from him. '
The . had him arrested for his nefarious traf
fic, "but afterwards, having in the mean time j
(E&e>*d complainant of S4O as a condition for j
not appearing against him, allowed the case
to fail through. <'n these grounds he brought
aeti n for a conspiracy to extort money.—
Jod trt> Conrad held that there was a "conspi
rac; and that complainant was himself also
a f irty to it: he therefore bound over the
.whole three for court! That man looked more
like lie had received a shower bath than sat- j

Reaping and Mowing Machines. —As spring
comes on farmers will be looking around f>r
such machines as are best calculated to aid
them iu their arduous labors. There is no
doubt a number of excellent machines are to
be had, but so far as our observation extends
none receivo so much commendation as .l/ciii
ny's Combined Reaping and Mowing Machine, ,
with Wood's Improvement, which, as its name
signifies, can either bo used as a Mower or
Reaper, an advantage we believe not posses
' sod by any other thus far brought before the
public, i. e. of both mowing and reaping well.
The following certificates speak strongly to
this effect:
NEWVILLE, Pa., Aug. 1830. '
I W. A. WOOD: Hear Sir—After having cut
a heavy crop of grass and grain with your
i Combined Reaper and Mower, which 1 pur
| chased of Mr. Armstrong, your agent at Car- j
lisle, 1 would express to you and to my fel ;
low farmers my candid and confident opinion,
| that it is the most convenient and durable j
harvesting Machine that has been offered in i
i this eeunt; r , aud that it does the best work
in all kinds of grass and grain. Its cutting i
i was witnessed by a large number of my j
neighbors, who, it they have an opportunity,
| next year will show their appreciation of j
| your skill and enterprise by purchasing a :
Manny Machine with Wood's Improvement, i
Yours, respectfully,
JOHN M. WOODBURN. J
From a report made by Jacob Kauffman, i
John H. Bower, llenry Landis, John Heps, j
i and John Bear of a trial of machines made |
near Lancaster last summer, wc select the
following:
"The Manny's, with Wood's Improvement, :
I which was managed by the driver, Mr. j
; did its task in a shorter time than any of the
; Machines in competition, and in a more work
l manlike manner, cutting its piece cleaner
; and closer, and has no side draft. It is easi
j ly drawn and managed by two horses, and of j
lighter draft far than its competitors. Its
i perfect adaptation to uneven surfaces, adjust- I
j ing it-solf to the inequalities of the-ground,
the facility with which by means .fa lever
at the driver's seat, it can be raised to avoid I
I obstacles when moving along, its portability j
from field to field on its own wheels b; the j
use of a wagon, its superi-a-gearing, whereby
tlie horses are not obliged to move taster than j
a natural walk, are all important points which j
j attracted our peculiar attention; and there \
j fore, we, the committee, respectfully report j
that afit r a careful and candid examination i
, of the several Machines in competition, that
Manny's, with Wood's Improvement, did the
; best work, and that with confidence we cheer
fullv rec uitnend its introduction and u-e by !
i the farmers of Lancaster County.'
F. (1. Franciscus, Lewistown, is ag-nt for !
: the sale of these machines in Mittiiu county, j
at whose establishment they can be examined.
THE WE.ATUEK. —A sprinkling of snow and
i a high wind in ule quite a change in the
j weather in the beginning of this week. On
M unlay it blew up cold, aud'hiring the night 1
the thermometer mu-t have been within a i
Jew degrees of zero, making a variation in
| about ten days of 70 degrees. Such weather
is of course unhealthy, and persons subject
to cohis or diseases ot the throat cannot be '
too careful.

Mowing and Reaping Machine,
WITH WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT,
For the Harvest of 1857.
\I.L persons desirous of getting this ceiebra- I
ted machine will please send in their or- j
ders early, to prevent delay and disappointment ;
as was the case in so many instances last seas- j
on. This machine look the premium at York, I
Huntingdon, Carlisle Chambersburg, Harris- J
burg, Bellefonte, and other places too numerous f
to mention. East summer we had hundreds of i
j testimonials and official reports, vouching the ■
superiority of this machine over u!l others now
iin use. This machine excels all others in the 1
| following points, \,z: Its easy convertibility
: from a Mower to a Reaper and vice versa; its s
I construction I'm adaptation to uneven surface ;
I tlie ease with w bieh it can be raised or lowered, i
j for cutting lrom two inches to eighteen inches
j from the ground, which is done bv means of a
I lever controlled by the driver while in his seat; !
its ease of draft, portability, and cleanness and j
case of cut. Many of these features arc pat- 1
' cnted and cannot be embodied in any other ma- j
i chme, and ail will admit how essential and in- i
| dispensable they are to a complete combined !
machine. With each machine will he furnish
ed two scythes, two extra guards, two extra j
sections, one extra pinion and wrench.
They are warranted to give satisfaction, eilh- j
j er as a Mower or Reaper, or no sale.
