had "get into a snarl," the ap
' il . c 'omiitee to take the subject

candidates.
Liady, of Allegheny, having
an Allegheny delegate en-1
dorscd his Americanism, but was sorry to say
Mr. Brady had no lrionds west of Altoona,
and his nomination would be inexpedient.
Mr. Church was in favor of nominating
Mr. Brady, as he was as good an American
as could be found, and in every way compe
tent.
The Allegheny deligate said this was a del
icate question, and he did not wish to go into
particulars; but it was sufficient to know that
in Allegheny county lie could not get twenty
five vetes; and the Allegheny delegation would
feel hound "to put their foot" upon his nomi
nation, although they had n doubts of the
sounduess of his American principles.
The policy of the nomination ol Mr. Brady
called forth considerable discussion, in which
a number of "sharp shots" were exchanged
between the Allegheny delegation, and Mr.
Thomas of York, Mr. Carter, Mr. Swope, and
others, in which a great variety of opinions
and insinuations were thrown out iu regard
to the availability of Mr. Brady and the mo
tives of the Allegheny delegation.
The yeas and nays on the nomination of
Mr. Brady were finally called for, and result
ed as follows:—Yeas 48, nays 8.
A motion was made to declare the nomina
tion unanimous, which was opposed by Mr.
Stemm, of Northampton, who said that the
rights and feelings of the minority ought to
be respected by the majority. He had his
own convictions in regard to this question,
he would speak them through the columns
he Controlled without regard to this vote, and
if ten thousand voted against him on the
question just decided he would still let liis
vote stand among the "nays" and shape his
acts accordingly. Let the Convention go on
in tins way and it would be severed to frag
ments. lie was opposed to making the elec
tion of judges a party test, and he would ex
orcise his constitutional convictions by voting
in accordance with his sense of right.
The motion to make the nomination unan
imous was withdrawn, and the Convention
proceeded to make general nominations for
Canal Commissioner, when Gen. E. C. Wil
liams of Dauphin, Kimber Cleaver of Nor
thumberland, Daniel McCurdy of Allegheny,
and John F. Lindermaii of Berks, were nam
ed, but all subsequently withdrawn except
that of Mr. Linderman.
Pending a motion to nominate Mr. Linder
man by acclamation, a delegate wished to
know who Mr. Linderman was, as a man
might be "a good American" and yet not
qualified to till the office. He had lived in
Berks, but never heard of Mr. L.
.V delegate fr m Berks answered that Mr.
Linderman had been a member of the Legis
lature from Berks.
He was then nominated vica voce as the
candidate for Canal Commissioner.
Mr. Swope renewed the motion to re con
sider the nominations for Supreme Judges,
for the purpose of, as he stated, again offer
ing the resolution declaring such nominations
inexpedient. On this motion, the yeas and
nays were called, which resulted as follows :
Yea- 23, Nays 27—so the motion tore-consid
er was lost.
Mr. Killian thought that as the dog's tail
had been cut off the Convention might as
well cut off the head also!
Another delegate concurred, and expressed
his opinion, that his only remaining course
was to secede.
Mr. Swope again renewed his motion to
make the nominations unanimous—as it was
an in-ult to the candidates to send theui forth
without a unanimous endorsement.
A delegate remarked that it was impolitic
to ofl u' such a resolution, when the ('. men
tion was on the point of breaking up in dis
order.
Mr. Swopo remarked that "no harm had
been done," and offered his resolution, mak
ing the nominations unanimous, naming each
candidate, which was carried by acclamation.
Mr. Swope, Chairman of the committee on
re- dutions, made a lengthy report, which was
adopted, and the Convention adjourned -fine
>!h:, with three cheers for the nominees of the
Convention.

B@uSander.son Flauigan of the Daily
News have brought suits against several edi
tors for libel, iu charging them with bribery
in the last campaign. If the tables should
be turned and the News sued for every libel

rich time of it.
B@L,Wm. J. Clark and Mrs. Mary Twiggs
have been committed for trial at Danville, Pa.,
f>r the murder, by poison, of Catharine Ann
' lark and David Twiggs, the wife and hus
band of the parties. The evidence that both
died by arsenic administered by the commit
ted parties is very strong. The trial will take
place in September.
Daniel E. Shaw, one of the firm of
Blanchard, Craig & Co., at Lock Haven, was
drowned on Thursday week in the Basin be

DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture weeds a
remedy that cures
livery fciittl ol' Humor
from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
XTE lyts tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed ex
-*■*-ce,it in two cases, (both thunder humor.) lie has
now in his possession over two hundred certificates of
its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of Pimples
on the Face
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles.

Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
desperate case of Rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are w irrarited to cure the Salt
Rheum.
Five to eight botiles will cure the worst case of scrof

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle,
and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti
ty is t ken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the
vicinity of Huston. 1 know the effect of it in every case.
So sure as water will extinguish lire, ensure will this
cure humor f never sold a bottle of it but that sold an
oilier; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There
are two thing- about tiiis herb that appears to me sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla
nes quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until I discovered u in 18 Hi—second, that ii should
cure all kinds ef humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and grpal
popularity ol the discovery, I will stole that in April,
IBa3, I peddled it and sold about-ix bottles per day—in

REPORT.
To the Farmers of Centre county the undersigned
Judges, appointed as above, respectfully report:
That the Mi l lormii k machine of 1852 performed in grass
only—of 1855 in grain only. All Ihe oilier machines per
formed both in grass and grain. Due end "f the field
was a heavy crop of timothy and clover; the other end
was a heavy crop of ciover, most of which had fallen to
the south east. Each machine made three rounds. The
McCormick machine, attended by the driver and a man
to clear the machine, performed well and made good
work on the north-west and east, but made long stuhb'e
and clogged occasionally on that part of the south side
covered with clover only, cutting in the same direction
in which the clover had fallen.
The Manny machine u ith Wood's Improvement, atten
ded by the ilrirer alone, tnbde aon.i work on the three sides
and belief work on the soulii side than any machine on
the ground, and did not dap.
The Ilussey machine,attended by a driver and a raker,
did mowing well.
The Kam machine, in a great measure, failed; the com
mittee think principally from want of a sufficient motion
in the sickle.
To prevent delay the McCormick machine of 1855 had
been lilted up f.r reaping in t lie wheat field, to which ihe
other machines, on beinu changed to Reapers, were im
mediately transferred. The McCormick Reaper here
again led oil". The committee were much pleased with
the operation of the machine, rs a Heaprr.
The Manny machine, with Wood's Improvement, per
formed w ell. ry trcll. both machinesremoviug the sheaf
sufficiently to the right to allow the horses to pass with
out us being removed.
Tin Ilussey diil good work, hut left the ,-lieaf upon the
track, requiring its removal prior to ihe entry of the next
machine
The Kam machine again failed, probably ow ing to the
gn at haste in whii It it was put together, it having been
tit last machine brought upon the ground.
Tile committee lake pleasure in announcing ihe Mr-
Corn i, ■. In pr. veil M h him* the freer tic.ijier; the Manny

best adapted for the use of the farming cointnutiiiy gen

as Mower and Reaper, yet in their judgment, excelled
both by the Manny and McCormick machines.

gratification at Ihe very large attendance of the farming
community, and at tin: deep interest manifested by theui
in the exhibition
All of which is most respectfully submitted.

Dr. Hunter's Vade Mecum;
A X original and popular treatise on Man and Woman—
A i||i>i r Physiology, Functions, and Sexual Disorder:
of every kind, with NEVER FAILING REMEDIES for theii
speedy cure. Price 5(1 cents.
Dr. I!ttiiter is a graduate of ore of the first tucdica
schools in the .8 , and lias devoted a quarter of a cen
tury to the study and treatment of Syphilis and kindred
disorders.
The practice of Dr. Hunter has long been, and still is,
unbounded, hut at the earnest solicitation of numerous
persons, he has beeq induced to extend his professional
usefulness through the medium of his 'VADE MECI 7 M.'
It is a volume that should be in the ha mis of every fam
ily in the land, as a preventive of secret vices, or as a
guide for the alleviation of one of the most awful and
destructive scourges ever visited upon mankind.
The author argues most strongly againstevery species
of self-defilement, and warns parents and guardians in
searching terms to guard the young of both sexes from
the terrible consequences of llieir ignorance of physiolo
gical laws and sexual impurities and irregularities. To
those who have been already ensnared to the 'paths that
take hold on death,' a clear anil explicit way is shownby
which they may secure a return of sound health and a
regeneration of the soul from its terrible pollution.
Ii is well known that thousands of virions are annual
ly sacrificed at the shrine of Quackery—especially those
sutler ing from Venereal or philitic diseases—Strictures,
Seminal Weakness, Nervous Debility and the numerous
maladies which spring directly from the indulgence of
carnal passion* and secret violations of Nature.
When it is also considered that about 1(10,0011 persons
die. annually in the linked Slates of Consumption—a larg
majority being ihe vl< tins of the voluptuous indiscretion
oftheir progenitors—llie author, imbued with sentiments
of eiuaig'-vi philanthropy, will scarcely be censur d for
any effort to restrain the vices of the age. by ihe humble
instrumentality of his Vade Mecum.
