aro'the most reliable and convenient vessels
that are in the market for preserving Fruits

They possess the following advantages over

First—All that is required after the fruit
Has been put in hot, is simply to screw the

Second—They can be opened by a single

rriißD—Besides their eimplicity and ease
of adjustment and the impossibility of stop

at the top of the cover: if the gum gasket is

itseif in time to be saved.

hen the humid showers gather
O'er all the starry spheres.
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
Tis a joy to press the pillow
Of a cottage chamber bed,
And listen to the pattiT,

And listen t;> the patter
Of the soft rain over head.
Every tinkle on the roof top
Has an echo in the heart.
And a thousand dreamy fancies
into busy being start,
And a thousand recollections
Weave their bright hues into woof,
And 1 iistcn to the patter.

And 1 listen to the patter
Of the soft rain on the roof.

THE REPUBLICAN W.ACOV.
There's right and wrong in politics,
And the right is on our sicfe;
So we've harnessed up the wagon, boys.
To let the nation ride.
The I'nion is our wagon.
And it isn't any sham,
F"nr us crowded with tiio people,
Aiid its driver's Abraham.
C'horcs —Wait for the wngoD.
Wail for the wagon,
Wait for the wagon.
For the driver's Abraham.
The wagon is a noble one,
Twas made in seventy-six.
"Twas driven by George" Washington
Through stormy polities;
W nil Northern oak and Eastern pine
And Western ash tis bound—
Talinetto, cypress, cotton wood
in every wheel are found.
Wait for toe wagon, Ae.
1 he mill-hoy of the slashes, hoys,
Kentucky's Harry Clay,
Once sat upon this wagon
As we're sitting here to-day;
He drove the road of Compromise
Hv Constitution charts.
And held the rcms of I'nion
All around the people's hearts.
Wait for the wagon, io.
In this our famous wagon.
With the people at its back.
Through alt the troublous elements
< 'ur Lincoln keeps the track;
And when the hands of Webster shook
The hand of proud Calhoun,
*Twas here upon this wagon box
They sat in close commune.
Wait for the wagon, io.
So jump into the wagon, hoys,
The people are its springs.
We're running on the I'nion course,
And Lincoln holds t! ostrings.
The I'nion is our wagon.
And it isn't any sham.
For it's crowded with the people,
And the driver's Abraham.
Wait for the wagon, ic.

Upright, Men. —We love upright men.
Puli them this way and the other, and they
only lend, hut never break. Trip them
down and in a trice they arc on their feet
again. Bury them in the mud, and in an
hour they are out and bright. You can
not keep them down you cannot destroy them.
They are the salt of the earth. Who but
they start any noble project ? They build
our cities, whiten the ocean with sails, and
supply railroads with cars. Look to them,
young men, and catch a spark of their
energy.
Silent Influence. —It is tho bubbling
spring which runs along day and night by
the firm house, that is useful, rather than
tho swollen flood, or the warring cataract.
Niagara excites our wonder, and we stand
amazed at the power and greatness of God
there shown. Put one Niagara is enough
for (he continent or the world—while the
same world requires thousands and tens of
thousands of silver fountains and gently flow
ing rivulets that water every farm meadow
and ever}* garden, and that shall flow every
day and every night with their gentle quiet
beauty. So with the acts of our lives.
It is not by great deeds, like those of the
martyrs, that good is to be done; it is by
the daily and quiet virtues of life, the meek
forbearance, the spirit of forgiveness in the
husband, the father, the mother, the broth
er, the sister, the friend, the neighbor, that
trocc l is to b n done,

Manners and Customs cf the Chinese.
Dr. Taylor, author of the volume recent
ly published entitled, 'Five ears in China,'
gitos a great deal ol information regarding
the custom? and manners of the Celestials)
j and his work is interesting and instructive,
j The following extract is somewhat amusing:
; The Chinese are our antipodes, not only
in geographical position, but they do so
many things in a manner directly the reverse
of our own modes, that a most amusing
j chapter might be written on these points of
; difference.—The following are some of the
• particulars: 1 hey shave the hair from the
head, instead of that on the face, after they
reach f :i! manhood. 'I he lather-brush
looks like a tooth brush, and they lather
with warm water only, without soap* They
not only always wash and bathe in hot water
but will also drink warm water in pref'er
: once to cold. They begin at the end of a !
book to read, and read from the ton to hot- ■
torn, beginning at. the right hand'instead I
; of across the page and beginning at the left.
Explanatory notes are always at the top of 1
the page instead of at the bottom. The ti
tie of a book is always on the outer margin I
instead of at the top. The leaves are all j
I double and printed on one side instead of!
j being single and printed on both.
r J he pupils in schools study as loudlv as J
j they can scream, instead of'sil ntly, and in :
| reciting stand with their back to* the tea
cher, instead of face. They locate the seat
: of intelligence in the stomach instead of in
the head. In salutation they each shake
their own hands instead of the others.
With them the magnetic needle is always
said to point to the South, and in naming j
the four cardinal points they say east, south, i
west, north. Instead of southwest and :
northwest, they always say east-south and I
west-north. Matting is used for mat- 1
trasses, instead of on floors, and they use
hard pillows (sometimes a block of wood)
instead of soft. Long nails are ornamen
tal—if three or four inches, they are of
quite au aristocratic length. They put the
given name, or the title by which you are
called, after the family name instead of be- >
fore it. So it would be Smith Mr instead ;
of Mr. Smith. It is impolite to take off I
your hat in the house. They plaster and
whitewash buildings on the outside oftener
than on the inner. It is a strong mark of !
filial regard for a son to buy a coffin as a !
[■resent to his father, while yet living. On :
presenting it he says, 'may you live a thou- j
sand years!'
When a man becomes able, one of the
first articles of furniture he buys for him
self, is his coffin ! It is often used as a
bench or table for years. When it becomes
tenanted it is frequently kept in the house
for many years longer instead of being
taken out and buried, and when thus taken
out it is often placed on the surface of the
ground instead of beneath it. The inscrip
tion is always on the end of the coffin in
stead of the top. They wear white for
mourning instead of black. At funerals, |
women must weep even if they are not
grieved; men must not if they ere.
More lanterns are carried at the time of j
the full moon than at any other. They
sell wood and fluids by weight instead of by
measure. At a dinner, the dessert is al- ■
ways eaten first. The seat of honor is on
the left hand instead of at the right. They
eat with two sticks, both in one hand, instead
of with a knife and fork, one in each.
Their boots and shoes are higher at the
toes than at the heels, and mostly made of
cloth instead of leather. They use whiting
instead of blacking. In laying floors they ,
lay the plank with the smooth surface
down on the timbers, while the upper is
left rough and unplaned.
In drinking tea, the saucer is placed on
the top of the cup instead of at the bottom. :
They kill themselves to be revenged of an
enemy. Men wear gowns, petticoats, beads, ;
embroidery, and gaiters, and women wear
pantaloons, not however, 'the pantaloons.' ,
They always mount a horse on the wrong
sdq and women ride as the men. Mili
tary officers carry fans instead of pistols. :
The plume is on the back of the cap and
hangs down, instead of being on the front
and standing up. In battle they wait for
a ship to sail into line with the cannon on
a fortification, instead of moving the gun,
and directing it to the position of the ship.
In the dress of men, the drawers are large J
and loose at the bottom, and have no string, (
while the pants are tight as possible, and |
are tied around the ancle like drawers. In ]
other words, it might be said they wear
drawers outside their pantaloons.
Among us, young men and women choose .
for themselves and do their own, courting,
when they beeomq grown (and sometimes !
before;) in ('hina, this is all done for tb'em
by their parents while they are infants.-
Wi th us, ladies have the preference; with
them, gentlemen. We educate and honor
our wives, sisters and daughters, and bring
them forward in s; jC j e ty. they degrade
theirs, keep them in ignorance and out of
sight. Women a ave C their feet always
bound— waist nevcr . The circurn
er<Ltice of their dress is greatest at the
VTaist and least at the ankles. They wear
their breast pins on the forehead. Ihe
young ladv goes to the residence of her
betrothed to be married, and she wails and
weeps along the whole way to her wedding.
They always have feasting and music at
funerals. Green plums are preferred to
ripe onoe. They abominate milk, butter
and cheese, but rehsh castor oil, snails, and
many other articles that are to us horribly
offensive. They shave off nearly the whole
of the eyebrows, leaving a mere pencil of
hair, while that on the opposite side of the
head is allowed to grow until it reaches the
ground. Although men do not exactly
set on tlie eggs, they yet do most ot the
hatching, thus assuming the prerogative of
the hen, depriving them of that pleasure and
privilege.
A Dreadfui Accident—A Man Falls from
the Top cf a Steeple-
J wo men were this morning employed in
giving to the dome of St. Patrick's church,
; West Troy, a coat of white paint. Before
• going up. one of them, named John Fish
back, was noticed by his companions to
have been drinking, and was remonstrated
with for ascending, but it was said in reply
that he was better able to go up in that con
j dition than though he was perfectly sober,
and as it appeared he was quite rational,
| and hut slightly under the influence ofli
; quor, he was permitted to go up. Sixty-one
' feet lrom the ground is a narrow ledge or
j cornice, from two to three feet wide, run
' ning around the base of the dome. Upon
| this ledge the two men had been at work
lor some time, having previously finished
the painting above by means of ladders
fastened from the cross on the summit of
the dome.
On this narrow shelving, whore the men
were now at work, Fishback would frequent
ly let go all support from the dome, and
walk out on the very edge, to show his nerve
and bravado. '1 he entreaties of his com
panion not to do so, only induced him to
show still greater recklessness, until all at
once his companion saw him fall. He had lost
his balance, and falling struck first upon a
cornice quite a distance below, and then
upon the ground, lulling upon the right
side oi the head and shoulder, instantly kill
ing him, causing the blood to spout from bis
ears, and driving the right side of his head
and face into a horrid shape. Coroner
Whitbeck held an inquest, and the jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. Fishback was a native of Can
ada, and was a widower, having two grown
up children, who are, we believe, at work
in Albany.— Troy Times, Scjit 7.
The Barbarism of Slavery.
A iCrics Agent Sentenced to Death for
Circulating the Aew lor/c Tribune.—
Some time since a very respectable and
well known citizen of St. Louis, named
llenry A. Marsh, established a news de
pot at some point in Texas. Subsequently
lie established other depots in Camden,
Ark., and Memphis, Tenn. A few weeks
since lie received an order at his Camden
depot for fifty copies of the New York
Tribune. As a matter of business, Marsh
undertook to till the order, and the pack
age arrived in due course of time, while he
was absent at Memphis. It having been
noised about Ouindcn that the Tribune was
about being circulated, through the medi
um—indirectly, however—of Mr. Marsh,
a committee of three men were appointed
to go after 31 r. Marsh and bring him back
to Camden. Accordingly, they* proceeded
on their mission, and, one night, captured
their unsuspecting victim, in Memphis, and
conveyed him on board a steamer, and lock
ed him in a state-room. The captain of
the boat, on learning their intention, refu
sed to convey the party, and they were
obliged to convey their captive across the
river in a yawl. Arriving in Camden, Mr
Marsh was arraigned on the charge of cir
culating seditious and incendiary docu
ments, was convicted and sentenced to be
hung. Time was, however, given him to
send for his wife, and permission given
him to procure from the citizens of St.
Louis a certificate of former good charac
ter, respectability, and loyality. The wife
of Mr. Marsh arrived in this city, en route
for Camden, and is stopping at Barnum's
Hotel, awaiting the completion of a peti
tion already signed by many well known
citizens, of all political parties, for the re
lief of the unfortunate man, whose only
crime is embraced in the faithful discharge
of his business relations. Mrs. Marsh will
leave for Camden to-day with the petition
numerously signed, with the heartfelt
prayer of the citizens of St. Louis fur the
salety of her husband from the hands o*
fanatical fire-eaters. — St. Louis Dc^ lorr( ,t.
A Duel Between T>- 0 Bro^ iers —Both
I Y Ue o : Natchitoches Chronicle, of
**° ~ * Limo records the following ter
rl J ' c * .agedy: A quarrel arose a few nights
ago ho'tween two brothers named Longino,
(vVilliam and liurril,) residing a few miles
above Campte, when a proposition being
made bv one of them that they should fight
it out immediately with double-barrelled
shot guns, it was accepted by the other, and
firing simultaneously, both of them were
instantly killed.
( Nothing to Wear' —The executors of
a lady named Desmond, who died at Bromp
ton, England, last May, sold the extraordi
nary number of eighteen hundred silk dress
es, seven hundred velvet mantles, two hun
dred bonnets, and upwards of one hundred
pairs of shoes, with innumerable kerchiefs
and scarfs of all colors of the rainbow, which
had been purchased by the deceased lady
i within ten years of her demise.
A Hint For Marksmen.
There is good news for our Rifle Volun
teers at home. The ancient town of Co
logne, emulous of throwing Wimbledon in
to the shade, has proposed to give a prize
to expert shots, such as probably was nev
er before offered to the masters of the
cross bovr or the rifle. The prize consists
in nothing less than a splendid castle on
the banks of the Rhine—a castle of mod
em build, but in the style of the middle
ages, with crenated towers, deep moats,
drawbridges, cisterns, fountains, verandahs,
grottoes, and all the other appurtenances
oi an ancient knightly mansion. English
travelers up the Rhine, who have kept a
sharp lookout, will have perceived, just op
posite the town of Coblcntz, close to the
frowning fortress of Ehronbrcitstein, a
Burg, surrounded by extensive vineyard
and wooded domains, looking proudly down
on the Rhine and Moselle, and almost ri
valing in beauty of situation the neighbor
ing Stolzenfcls. V ell, it is this splendid .
property, called the Sehutzenburg, which
the town of Cologne promises to the best
shot in the forthcoming match within its
walls. 'I he match will be open to all na
tions of Germanic origin, including the '
British. Numerous invitations have al
ready been sent for this great meeting,
which, it is expected, will be numerously
attended by deputations form all parts of
Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Holland,
Belgium and England. The Prince Re
gent. it is stated, has accepted the Presi- i
dency of the meeting; and various other j
German sovereigns, foremost among them |
the former ruler of Bavaria, Ludwig, the '
poet-king, have promised their assistance j
and contributions.— London Army and j
Xavy Gazette.
Excitement in Martinsville, Ohio—A
I iyilance Committee. —For several months
past the town of Martinsville, savs the
\\ heeling, \ a , Intelligencer, has been in
fested by a lot of abandoned women and
reckless outlaws, whose thefts, burglaries
and obscene conduct has been the annoy
ance of the entire community. The nui
sance having become intolerable, a vigi
lance committee, numbering thirty respec
table citizens, was formed on Thursday.—
I he members of the organization disguised
themselves, and. armed with muskets, sur
rounded a barn full of the obnoxious peo
ple, and captured them alter a desperate re
sistance. There were eight men and a
number of women disguised in men's cloth
ing. All of them were driven over in
to Virginia.
Destruction of Churches hy Fire. —The
Boston Transcript says that the church
burned at Medford, Sunday morning, is
the sixth which has been destroyed by fire
in that immediate neighborhood within the
past ten years. The Methodists of Cam
bridgeport, the Unitarians of Cambridge,
Somerville and West Cambridge, and the
Trinitarian Congregationalists of Winches
ter and Medford have had churches totally
destroyed by fire since 1850. Wehaveone
more to add to the list—the Baptist Church
at Maiden—a fine edifice destroyed in 1850.
Four of these were doubtless set on fire by
incendiaries. In addition to the foregoing
may be mentioned the destruction ot the
Trinitarian Church in Bridgewater by tire
and the loss of a fine new Episcopal Church
edifice in Bristol, Bhode Island, bv falling
within a few weeks.
Extraordinary Oil Well. —The most
extraordinary oil well yet opened was tap
ped by the Rev. Mr. Hequmbourgh, at
Tidioute on the Allegheny, on Friday last.
At a depth of 175 feet, oil was struck, and
it has since been coming to the suri'ace in
a voluntary flow one barrel per minute!
Think of this, ye men who are anxious to
get rich. At 81 I per barrel, a low estimate,
this well yields its owner §20,160 per day.
We are assured by parties who have visit
ed the well that there is no humbug in the
statement —that it positively yields its bar
rel per minute. — Eric Dispatch.
The Chadd's Ford Demonstration.
On Tuesday afternoon of ' a st WQC'R the
great Lincoln meeting a t the Brandywine
battle ground too*. place, The Philadel
phia Noitb American says it was one of
ttic Assemblages ever held in that i
vicinpj;. The number of participants is '
estimated at from 30,000 to 40,000 people.
There were nearly 5,000 equipped men, ;
all of whom were drilled in military tactics.
These clubs hailed from Delaware, New
.Terse}', Maryland, Philadelphia, and near
ly every section of Chester and Delaware
counties, and some from Montgomery and
Lancaster counties. They brought twenty
bands of music with them. A number of
coons and rails figured in the delegations.
The banners from Delaware proclaimed 'no
more Slave States.' The ground was gaily
decorated with flags, and the roads and
fields were crowded with vehicles for a
mile around. A brass cannon kept up a
constant peal from the hill-top. The meet
ing was organized by the election of Bayard
Taylor as President. Mr. Taylor, after re
turning thanks for the honor, and announ
cing himself a Republican, introduced the
Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio. Mr. Sher-
I man spoke for nearly two hours, amid the
most incessant applause. Mr. John Co
vode, who was announced to speak, was
prevented by his engagements in w^svn

We learn from the Journal that on the 22<?
August, informal! >n was brought to towi>
that a man was lying dead in the road near
Nancy Ogden's about a mile and a half east
of Clearfield. M. A. Frank Esq.. at onee
proceeded to the spot and selected a v ury,
consisting of Goo. Thorn. John W. tfhugert,
ILnrv Evans, Geo. W. Rheeni, Henry W.
i Park and llenry E. Snyder, who ascertained
that the deceased was a u:an named Frederick
; Sehindel, who, some months since, was em
ployed a? bar keeper in the National Hotel
iin 'i rone City. The Jorv rendered aver*
| diet "that said Frederick Sehindel, in pass
| ing along the public highway in Lawrence*
j towns! . fell dead; t'; it lie had nr marks
of vio 1 o appearing about .lis body, and'
died *. tiio visitation of God in a natural
way." Poor Fred ! There is no doubt that
the demon Alcohol was his destruction. He*
was bur ed on Friday in the grave yard or.
the hill, away from kindred and home, with
| strangers only to pity his sad and mournful
j end. It is creditable to the officers and oth
| ers who were called upon to take an activo
| part in the case, that they had liini decently,
J interred.
On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 25th, our ven
| eralilo friend Jason Kirk, of Peon township,
i this county, during a temporary ahseencefroiu
home, had his house robbed of SI,OBO. It
appears that a stranger, about 6ix fbe.t in
height, with heavy sandy whiskers, reddish
i brown coat arid black pants, called at the
house and informed a small boy and a girl,
who were the only persons about the premises
at the time, that a number of cattle were in
the corn field, and they had better hurry and
turn them out or they would destroy the corn,
Whilst the girl and boy were doing this, the
scoundrel entered the house, broke open sev
era! trunks and two chests, and from one of
the hitter abstracted the money; about S6OO
or SBOO of it was in S2O gold pieces, S2OO in
eagles and half eagles, and the balance in
silver. The robbery was not discovered un
til Mr. Kirk returned from Lumber City, in
the evening, when persons were sent in pur
suit of the robt e •, but no arrest so far as we
know, has yet been made. An individual an
swering the description of the one who sent
the boy and girl to the corn-field, was seen in
Curwensville towards evening. The cattle
had doubtlese been turned into the corn by
the villain for the purpose of committing thu
robbery.

Oak Grove. S. C., June 24th, ISSB.
Prof. O.J. Wood: Dear Sir:—Your Ilair Restorative
is rapidly gaining popularity in this community. I
have had occasion to lay prejudice aside, and give
your Hair Restorative a perfect test:
During the year IS.S4. 1 was so unfortunate as to bo
thrown from my sulky against a rock near the road
side. from which my head received a most terrible
blow, causing a great deal o! irritation, which commu
nicated to tiic brain and external surface of the head,
from the effects of which, mv hair was finally destroy
ed over the entire surface" of the head. From the
time I first discovered its dropping, however, up to
the time of its total disappearance. I employed every
thing 1 could think of. being a professional man my
self, .and, as I thought, understanding the nature of
the disease, but was finally defeated in every prescrip
tion advanced.
These and no other circumstances induced itie to
resort to your worthy Hair Ite -toimivc, which 1 have
every reason to believe, produced .a very happy result;
two v" u.ths after the first ; application,* I had as beau
tiful a head of young hair as 1 ever saw, for which 1 cer
tainly owe you Viiv nv -t sincere thanks. Rest assured,
dear sir. I shall recommend your remedy to all inqui
rers, moreover. I shall use my influence, which I Hatter
mvself to say. is not a little. *
You can publish this if you think proper.
Yours, respectfully," M. J. WRIGHT, M. D.

Dear Sir:—l feel it my duty as well as my pleas
ure, toft&te to you the following circumstance, which
you can use as you think proper: A gentleman of
this place, (a lawyer,) has been bald ever since his ear
ly youth; so much so, that he was compelled to wear
a wig. He was induced to use a bottle of your " Hair
Restorative,'' which he liked very much: and after
using some two or three bottles his hair grew out
quite luxuriantly, and he now has a handsome head of
hair. The gentleman's name is Bradford, aud as h
is very well known iu cur adjoining counties, y„an*
persons can testify to the truth of this s^ierfient; I
give it to you at the request of Mr. Bradford, Vou
can sell a great deal of your Hair Restorative iu tins
atui f ..,e adjoining couches tf you have the proper
agents. Yours Ac.,
THOMPSON SURGHN'OR.
Da. Woon Dear Sir: Permit me to express the obli
gationa 1 am under for the entire re r .rate>n of my
iiair to its original color; about the time of my arrival
in the United States it was rapidly becoming gray, but
upon the application of your " Hair Restorative" it
soon recovered its original hue. I cousider your Re
storative a u very wonderful invention, quite effica
cious as well as agreeable. S. THALBERG.
