Alexander Clark, editor of " Clark's
School Visitor," author of the " Old Log
School House," etc., who is now on a tour
of School visitations in this State, will give
an entertainment, consisting of Readings,
and Recitations, &c., together with practi
cal hints on the cultivation of the voice, at
the Town llall, this (Wednesday) evening,
commencing at 7 J o'clock. The exercises
will consist of quite a variety of pieces, pa
thetic, comic, patriotic, colloquial, &c.—
The lecture will reveal many important
facts, bearing directly upon health, and the I
laws of our being, how to acquire strong
musical tones of voice, and how to become
good readers and speakers. Parents are
respectfully invited to attend, bringing j
their children with theui. Admission 10
cents, children 5 cents.
FIRING GUNS, <fce.—This nuisance has
been carried to an almost unbearable extent ;
within the past few months in the borough I
limits, and something ought to be done to
put a stop to it. The State laws impose a
fine of 20 shillings for firing off a gun or
other firearm in a town : 40 shillings for i
firing at pigeons, doves, partridges or other j
fowl, on the open streets of a borough; j
and 40 shillings for firing off a gun on or
near any public highway.
RELIEF BOARD. —The Board will meet!
again on Friday, Ootober 4th, for the trans- 1
action of business.
Any sum from 850 to S2OOO will be ta- ,
ken on loan for the use of the board, and j
6 per cent with release of county tax al- !
lowed therefor.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—The public schools J
of this borough opened on Monday la6t, j
with ijuite an army of juveniles in atten- !
dance. The board has made sundry im- i
provemcnts and repairs during the past j
summer, the principal of which—that of
the armory building—will prove a source j
of comfurt to both teachers and pupils.—
ihe upper 6tory has been thrown out of
use altogether, the stairway takeD away,
and tho building reuovated in other res
pects.
WMr. McAtee the proprietor of the
hewistown Mills, has been making some
extensive repairs at that establishment, 60
to place it in working order. Wheat
and all other kinds of grain arc now wan
ted, for whioh cash will be paid.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —A fatal
accident occurred on the Northern Central
| Railroad on Saturday night, about five
miles from Baltimore. Two trains, the
first with eighteen, the other with eleven
cars attached, were conveying the 49th
Pennsylvania regiment, Col. Wm. H. Ir
win, to Baltimore, en route for Washington,
and when in the neighborhood of Mount
Washington the rear train ran into the front
and killed two soldiers instantly, wounded
three slightly, and crushed the engineer's
(Mr. Charles Johnson) font and ancle very
badly. The bodies of the two men killed
were taken to Baltimore, and buried in the
Western Cemetery. The three wounded
soldiers were taken charge of and convey
ed to the Adams House hospital, and pro
ceeded to Washington to join their regi
ment. The two killed were three months'
men, who had served out their time, and
had re enlisted for the war. Their names
were John Fulton, aged 20 years, and Dan
iel Parker, aged 24 years. The deceased
were both from Chester county, Pa. Mr.
Johnson, the engineer, had his leg ampu
tated by Prof. Smith. This regiment has
a large number of troops from this and ad
joining counties, but all fortunately escaped
injury. The coroner's inquest on the dead
bodies returned a verdict against the man
agers of the road for neglect in suffering
two trains to run at different rates of speed
—the first train only making 10 or 12 miles
an hour, while the rear was going at the
rate of 15 or 16, and thus caused the col
lision.

TO THE PUBLIC.
j '|MIE administrator of Francis N. Smith,
j -* having given notice that I was infringing
j said Smith's patent in the manufacture of
j Robb's Corn Sheller—a proceeding calculated
. to injure me iu my business—l submit the
; following facts to those who are using or
| desirous of purchasing them. On the Ist
j June, 1843, a patent was granted to said Smith,
| and extended from Juue 1, 1857, for seven
! years, in which he makes the subjoined claim:
\\ hat I claim as my invention and desire
j to secure by Letters Patent is the arrangement
j of the inclined concave, and toothed cylinder,
as described, and in combination therewith
the angular piece (a) the whole being con
structed and operating as above described."
FRANCIS N. SMITH.
On the 25th December, 1855, a patent was
issued to James Robb, to the description of
which is annexed the following claim:
" Having fully described my improvements
in corn shellere and cleaners, what I claim as
my invention and desire to secure by letters
patent is, the hood or casing G, in combina- '
tion with the concave F, fender board or cob
arrester H, and cylinder B, for the purpose of
directing a blast and separating or cleaning
the corn and cob substantially in the manner
described. In testimony whereof I have
hereunto signed my name before two subscrib
ing witnesses."
JAMES ROBB.
Under this patent I have been manufactu
ring one of the best machines in use, and it
will readily be perceived that there is no j
similarity whatever in the claims each made,
and must have been so regarded by the patent
office, or no patent would have issued. Parties
interested can see a full description of both
machines, as certified by the patent offce, by
calling on me, a perusal of which I think will
satisfy any cne that I am not infringing
Smith's nor any other patent.
If Mr. Smith's administrator, instead of!
endeavoring to scare away my customers, were j
to institute suit agasnst me, it would be more
to the purpose; or let him come forward and 1
satisfy me that I ain infringing, and 1 pledge ;
my word 1 will cease manufacturing it, as I j
have no desire to live off auother man's prop- j
erty.
In tlie meantime I invite farmers and others
to eall at nif machine simp, north end of
\ alley street, examine the papers and buy
TIIE BEST Corn Sheller in market, and I
guarantee they will not be disturbed in its use.
