TIIEU SAD DEATH. —Our citizens wore
startled on Saturday last by the sad
ncement that JOH.V T. REYNOLDS, a son
rid R. Reynolds, Esq., of this place,
iet an untimely death by drowning
Parkesburg, Chester county, while out
several young men seine fishing, lie
bout 21 years of age, was employed in
ate shop at Parkesburg as a machinist,
eld in high estimation by all who knew
is au exemplary young man. This so
)]ow called forth a general aud heartfelt
athy for the parents and kiudredof the
scd, who were thus suddenly reminded of
pp.illing truths that we know not what
r may bring forth —that in the midst of
e are in death. The M est Chester Rcc
f Tuesday thus notices the unfortunate
•rence:
wo young men, one named Edwin Babb,
ther John T. Reynolds, were drowned in
[iu's dain, on Ruck Run, near Pavkes-
Chester county, on Saturday afternoon
They had gone out with a seine to fish,
iclule drawing the seine, one of them got
Jfop water, and from some cause or other
ijably from being entangled in the net),
lertced struggling, and ihe other swam
g ivlief. The young man v. bo so nobly
id the danger, and went to the rescue,
sacrifice, lie was seized by thedrown
aian, and both went down together!—
jh went out to the relief of the other,
i uoi know. At the place where the ac- j
it occurred, the water was 10 or 15 feet ;
Rabbwas a good swimmer. Reynolds :
l young man from L' wistow n- and Babb
i son of the late San-om Babb, formerly
e Washington Hotel in West Chester,
Bf one time Sheriff of Chester county. —
lad made arrangements to leave Partes- 1
hi a dav or two, and be had joined some
s companion* in a farewell fish tig party,
tas a machinist, and had been working
e State Shops at Parkesburg."
e remains of young Reynolds were
rht to this place and interred in live Prcs
rian graveyard on Tuesday last.
HP TO LICKING. —On Thursday-of last
t, accompanied by six young men a
j which now lays includes all ag^s —we
Lewistown tor the wilds of Licking, with
Intention of spending a few days in reg
ion beneath the shady hemlocks of that
pn. The party did nut : Mrt out as most
utb horses and wagons to carry themselves
[provisions, but each one equipped either
i knapsack, bag or bundle, containing a
jk< t. extra paiis of stockings and shoes,
; coffee pots, frying pan, provisions, £.\,
bienced a regular old fashioned tramp
i this to Minsk xrt's Cap, and there sealed
■ouuntain that intervened between it and
Lug. The first portion that reached the
gave three tremendous cheers, which were
f auswen d by a large eagle that was
►ably disturbed in his eirie by the unusu
bund. At this point the tumbling of (lis-
I thunder was heard, warning us that a
ply descent of the mountain was neces.-a
--1 ut before it was half acc< mplished the
began falling, though fortunately not in
TI nts." In half an hour ilie storm had
ltd, an 1 a >uitable spot having been BO
;d for encamping, all hands set to work
tine cutting poles, others pealing bark,
it.g hemlock, gv'hering firewood, &c., and
the course of a few hours a comfortable
in had been constructed, before which
fed a roaring fire. The editor having been
tic-tod to try his ha ml f.,r a few fish for
r-er, be departed and in the course of a
hours returned with six speckled le lutic-s,
[ of which, 12-} inches long, 3 inches wide,
I over 2 inches across the back, would have
1 P. P. & S's eyes water for a month.—
fcse, caught unexpectedly, for truut'arc not
borons in Licking any more, its glories in
|f respect having departed, afforded a fine
it at supper, after which the party laid
rn on hemlock branches, wrapped up in
ar blankets, to rest and sleep. In this,
Be succeeded pretty well, but bv early
jvn all were <n foot busy preparing coffee,
ling fish and hitch, eating breakfast and
in doing what they liked. Three started

i very successful in numbers, but romarka
f .HI iii -izc, sevei oi treut having been caught
>t vvi i 1 ha." done honor to the Kishaco
pllas. J iiis may bo instanced by the fact
[one el the party having been knocked
pu l v a tine trout that sprang nearly two
It out id water at a bait, at least itissuppo-
I that result was produced by the fisli, for
i fisherman certainly fell when said fish
peared ab<ive water. It is due however to
f that Mr. Tiout was subsequently caught
the same party without losing his foothold,
the afternopr, *r. discover .(1 an look-
I ret fen pine with a dangerous leaning to
(rds the foot of our cabin, and as there
iv some indications of wind, we dctermin
| to fell it in order to prevent mischief.—
:s was done, and having, as was expected,
lashed the bottom of our cabin, the whole
FJ proceeded to rebuild it. During these
sundry falling off logs, getting
jeo deep into a slough, &c. afforded a varie
to the incidents hourly occurring. By the
pe the cabin vv.-.s rebuilt and supper cooked
d despatched, all felt disposed to seek rest;
- night was considerably cooler than the
E -ding one, but most of the party slept
ill and arose with an appetite that did not
diew cuffce without sugar and cream, or
II h well fried. Between seven and eight
fit";* we turned our faces homewards, and
Easy stages c/ossod the mountain to Mine- j
' r t s run, where some of the boys again
rri 'd to fishing, and caught a few dozen in
Ehort time. The remainder continued on 1
dough trough hollow, where they amused
cmseives for a few hours in catching catties,
Dnies, &c., and then proceeded for town, !
J ich all reached about three o'clock, so well i
pleased with the trip that wc verily believe
they would be ready, on two hours notice, to
take another.
WRITING CLASS.—MISS KateKruh, a young
lady of considerable attainments, proposes to
teach a writing school in this place during
her residence here, should a suflisient number
be obtained to form one or more classes. The
importance of writing well, both by young
. and old, is so apparent that it hardly need bo ;
' referred to, and to young ladies is especially
important. Specimens can be seen at the
. book and jewelry establishment of 11. W. !

from Edward Fry singer, in lludisiil s build- j

years hence should it become, as we appre- j
hend it will, a terror to evil-doers, no one will J
regret its erection.

FROM NICARAGUA.
ISnd of Filibustering— Mating Mules, Hor
ses, Cuts and Uogt.
The 'ioge of Ilivas terminated on the first
day of May, and before night Walker had
taken refuge on board a U. S. vessel of war.
The Costa llicana managed the whole matter
very skilfully, and let the work of starvation
assist their anus in driving the filibusters out.
Having effectually cut 'Vaikor off from com
munication with the United States, either by
the Atlantic or Pacific, they harassed him
continually with attacks, every one f which
decimated the number of his forces, and star
vation and desertion did the rest. The fili
buster chiefs are trying to put the best face
on matters that they can, and tell magnificent
iies of their own prowess, victorious in every
fight, \md yet defeated in their only object.
Making all allowances for these exaggerations
of egotism and mortified feelings of disap
pointment, and we have the following facts,
as related by Gen. llenning.-en, a German
filibuster:
Since ilio last advices received here front
Gen. Walker, the Allies made an attack on
the intrenohments at Kivas with a force of
2000 men. The assault lasted six hours, and
was hotiy contested throughout. As near as
could bo ascertained, the Costa Ricans lost
400 killed (filibuster count) and wounded in
cluding 30 prisoners taken by Gen. Waiker ;
one cannon belonging to the Allies also fell
into the hands ef the filibusters. Walker's
total loss in this engagement, in killed and
wounded, did not exceed 50 or 60 men.
From this time until the second week in
April, when Gen. Mora arrived and assumed
command of the Allietr, no offensive opera
tions, to rpcak of, took place on either side.
On the 11th of that month the Allied forces,
led on, it was snid, by deserters from the fili
buster camp, made a desperate attack on
Gen. Walker's intrenchrnents, and succeeded
in gaining possession at one time of the lower
plaza. About lot) had entered that portion
of the town, when Gen. llenningsen succeed
ed in bringing three guns to bear upon them,
which mowed them down with great slaugh
ter. About half of them escaped and the
remainder being surrounded were obliged to
surrender. After a good deal of hard light
ing the enemy was finally repulsed, but not
without contesting the ground inch by inch ;
103 prisoners in all remained in the hands of
Gen. Walker after the fighting was over.
The hopes of the filibusters were greatly
sustained by the constant expectation of relief
from Col. Lockridge and party on the San
Juan river, who were daily looked for. Hut
as, day after day, no news came from the San
.Juan, the garrison in Rivas began to despair,
and wore fast losing their spirits, when in
formation was received that Capt. Davis, of
the U. S. sloop of-war St. Mary's, had seized
tiie schooner Grenada, containing half of Gen.
Walker's ammunition. Gen. Walker, after a
prolonged and painful consultation with his
officers, concluded to enter into stipulations
with Capt. Davis, and he subsequently sur
rendered to him as an officer of the U. S.
Oovernm cnt.
At the instance of Capt. Davis, the women
and children, numbering about 70, were re
moved from the camp on the 20th of April.
The formal capitulation took place on the 30th
of the same month, and the troops set out on
the march to Sau Juan del Sur on the Ist of
May.
The whole number of Walker's men, at the
time of surrender was 475; of these 250, in
cluding officers, were effective, 175 were on
the sick and wounded list, and 40 were na- i
tives.
Provisions had been exceedingly scarce du
ring the whole mouth of April, and the men
had lived chiefly on mule and horse meat
nearly all that time. Dogs, cats and other
animals were sometimes killed to furnish a
novelty.
The surrender of Walker did not please
such heroes as Col. Titus and Sanders, as ;
they began making speeches to the men, dc- !
claring that Gen. Walker had sold the cause
and embarked with the money. The men,
glad enough to get away, did not care much j
about the facts, so they got out of the cuun
try.
Tha day before Walker capitulated, one of
the men went outside the lines to look for
something to eat, and returned again in a
short time to his quarters, but being discov- I
ered in the act, he was sentenced to he shot. >
When brought out for execution, he said to I
the men who were told off to shoot him,
"Boys, will you kill me, and we about to sur
render?" Whereupon the guard raised their
muskets and fired over his head. The man
then started up and commenced to run; but
Major Rogers followed him, and with a shot
from a revolver brought him to bis knees; he
then ran up to the poor fellow, and placing
his revolver to his head, blew his brains out. !
The following melancholy details are the
sad closing of the tragedy:
"It is estimated that, during two years, of
2500 enlisted or holding commission under
Walker, about 1000 were killed, or died of
wounds or sickness, 700 deserted, 250 were
discharged, 43C were at lltvason the Ist May,
and SO m garrison or on steamers on the river.
Total. 2405—leaving 53 unaccounted for."
It is positively known that he received no
Jess than 5000 from the United States, and as
only 1300 of these are accounted for by de
sertion, discharge and surrender, the others
must have starved, or been killed or died of
disease.

It will he observed the foregoing testimonials arid re
ports have been made dutiag or since the harvest of 1856,
and are in addition to those heretofore published ; also to
| a great mass of voluntary testimonials on hand, which
have accumulated within the last two months. Those
I testimonials point out plainly the points in which this
machine excels all others, viz:
Its easy convertibility from a Mower to a Reaper, and j
| act versa ; its construct inn for adaptation to uneven stir- I
faces; the ease with which it can he raised or towered, '
for cutting from two inches to eighteen inches from the
| ground, which is done by means of a lever controlled by
j the driver while in his seat; its ease of draft, portability
: and cleanness, and ease of cut. Many of these features
I are patent, d and cannot be embodied in any other ma
i chine, ami all will admit how essential and indispensable
| they aie to a complete combined machine.
With each machine will be uruished two Sryih- s,two
| extra guards, S extia sections, I exira pinion & wrench

In oril--r that there will lie no disappointment about ex
| tr-is, I will ship bv railroad litis winter full supplies to
i each Agent, thereity saving overcharged express.age, as
I is tile case in waiting until harvest time before sending
i tin-in. The machine is warranted capable of cutting from
' ten to fifteen acres of grass or grain per day.
REPORT.
j 7o the Farmers of Centre county the undersigned
Judges, appointed as above, respectfully report:
That the M Coriuick machine of 1552 performed in gtass
' only—of IP ,5 in grain only. All ilie other machines pei
fornied b -ill in grass ami grain. One end - f the field
! was a heavy crop of I itnothy and clover; the other end
was a heavy crop of c.-iver, most of which had fallen to
the south east. Each machine made three rounds. The
• Met'.irmick machine, attended by the driver and a man
j to clear ihe machine, perf.-f ineti well and made good
I work on lift uorttewvesi and east, but iiiitil-long stut.b.e
i and clogged.occasfonsHly on (hat part of the south side
covered with clover only, culling Iri I fie same direction
j in whi- It the clover had £>l en.
The Manny machine \ it*. Wood's Improvement, alten
licit by the ilrieer alone, made good work on the three sides
j and better work on the south side than any machine on
tile ground, and did not dog.
The Ilussey machine,attended by a driver an.l a raker,
j ili I mowing well.
The Kam machine, in a great measure, failed; tile com
mittee think principally from want of a sufficient motion
; in the sickle.
To prevent delay the McCormick machine of 1855 had
j been tilted tip for rtSfhni ft, the cMieat ttetd, to which tiie

j The praclb e c-f Dr. ilimter has long been, ai d still is,
unbounded, but at ihe earnest solicitation of numerous

i I usefulness through the medium of his 'VADE MECUM.'
It is a volume that should be in the hands of every lam- j

i guide for ihe alleviation of t-i e of the m.-t awful and
j ilestru: tivp sc -urges ever visilt d upon mankind.

! the terrible consequences of their ignorant e of pbysiolo
i gieul laws and sexual impurities and irregularities. To
j those who have been already ensnared to the 'paths that
! take hold on death,' a clear and explicit way is shown by
J which they mav secure a return of sound hearth and a
' regeneration of the soul from its terrible pollution.
