I file) that your invention embraces ah that is desirable in a bridle. Its simple eons.ruction, and adaptation to any common bridle and any rein, cannot hut make its" use universal The ease with which it can be ad justed to a soft or hard mouthed horse isan excellent feature, rendering its use as effectual in preventing running or kicking as any other patent bridle or rein ami as easy on the mouth as the common bit.and as it is a.ways readv at tin* critical moment, it cannot but recommend itself to ail who w iil try or look at it. lies pee t fully yours, A.HAMILTOX, M. L>. LXWISTOWX. December 8,18G6. I have been driving horses since I know anything alsiiit tliem. and have drove some-very vicious florae* and colts. In driving such with a common bridle, I never feel easy nor eonit'ortatie to enjoy the ride. It is more annoying, however, when you have persons wit i you and you .can tell hy the r countenance that tney don't enjoy the ride from fear of your horse running little, or even rutmingaway. I have always (nought there might be a bridle or hit so constructed that you could drive and hold Imrses with perfect ease "and safety. The first of this kind I happened to see was Dr. Hartman's. I thought it was very good. In the meantime it occurred to me that the way the Hues worked on the bridle you could not draw the bit and let it drop quick enough on your horses. Some horses and colts when you surge them tightly and cannot slack the hues quickly, will balk and hack very ugly. I once saw Mr. t'hrists and Stamen's patent with the elastic strap, working on about the same principle as Dr. Hartman's. Mr. Christ then gave me a bridle to try on my horse. I had the same objection to it I had t'<> Dr. Hartman's. My attention was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Haines' Patent, of our tow n. My attention was arrested immediately with the appearance of it. I have been using it for some two weeks quite successfully. I have drove along the railroad and other ugly places, feeling quite safe. I think it embraces all you can get out of a bridle, If the public once get to see this bridle, they can't help hut understand its simplicity, durability and effective ness and taken together, cannot help recommending itself. Railroad* arc made and being made through the country in every direction, crossing our pub'ic roads four or five times in as many miles sometimes. These crossings often occur at very ugly place. All parties are more or less afraid of meeting the trains when they are traveling for fear their horses will take fright, and not he able to hold them. This communi ty rememliers how seriously Dr. Isaac Rothrock, of Js'nyder county, was hurt at the crossing, at the new Tannery, last May. He found he could not hold his horse and then got out of his buggy, and the horse tore him around badlv. "K." M. KEEVER. LEWISTOWX. PH., August 21,1506. Th s community is well aware of the fact that in the midst of art extensive practice. Dr. U. W. Hoover was almost killed by the running oil of his mare. I drove this mare in single harness hy using the Safety Bridle invented by Joseph C. Haines, and 1 found that she was entirely under my control. I liehevo the Saf.-tv Bridle is all thai can t>e desired for the security of life, limb, and vehicle when used either upon "a docile or vicious horse. H. M. PRATT. 9i~ Any persons having fractious horses are invited to bring ttiein to the undersigned, or during his ab sence to Mr. Pratt, and they can readily lie satisfied ttiat any horse can not only bo prevented from kick ing but from running away.

Treasure Trove Extraordinary. .4 Couple of Walkers in the Sewers of New York—" Pop Dirt" Struck Heavily— Diamond by the Jlusht I. [N. Y. Cuiret:pii(ieueo of the Erie Despatch ] Several years ago a little German Jew, believing that in the sewers of New York might ho found many arti eles of value which had been lost, en tered them, and for three days wander ed through the labyrinth. lie was very successful, picking up some twen ty seven thousand dollars' worth of jewelry, spoons, forks, Ax-., but having lost his way the first day, he believed that be might have found much more, could be have carried out the original plan, which was t> visit Fifth and Mad ison avenues, Broadway, and the wealthy portions of 11 e city. So great, however, were the difficulties and dan gers which he encountered, that noth ing could induce him again to visit 'New York underground.' ilis ad venture for a time created quite a lit tle sensation, but there were none ven turous enough to attempt a second, un til Wednesday of last week, when an adventurous party of three entered the sewer of Houston stieet at the ferry on East river, intending to remain one week, during which time they propos ed visiting every portion of the city where 1 here seemed to be any chance of finding treasure trove. The party consisted of Hiss Mary Walker, a young lady of eighteen, her brother James, aged sixteen, and Michael Gra dy, an old man of about fifty. The project originated with Miss Walker, and the ' how' of it was in this wise : Some two days ago James Walker, jr, was a merchant, doing a good business at OUi liowery. He was getting rich last, but in an evil hour lie was pre vailed upon by friends (?) to use some of bis money which bad been 'Salted down,' in speculating in gold. There suit was easy to be foreseen. He lost. To recover he took money from his business. Again he lost. His busi ness became embarrassed ; in despair beeommitted suicide, and Miss Walker •111(1 her brother found themselves six months ago the inhabitants of a room on the upper floor of a double tenement, Sixth street. M iss Walker, some months ago, in an old paper, wrapped around a parcel which she was taking home from a slop shop, saw an account of Schwartz's undertaking, and resolv ed to imitate it. Maps were obtained and the city studied carefully. Each day's work for herself, her brother and Grady, who was formerly in her father's employ, was carefully marked out. Every preparation which limited knowledge could prepare was made, and the adventurers start ed. 1 wish that I might have room to tell the story of the week they passed, but my manuscript warns me that 1 must condense Each day they ren dezvoused several times in the cham bers at the street corners. On Sunday they bad filled all the bags they had taken with them, some fifteen in num ber, and Miss Walker returned. James Walker and Grady continued in their search, emptying six of their bags at the corner of Twenty-second street and Fifth avenue. On Wednesday morning at a very early hour, Miss Walker was at the place with a wagon. On removing tho iron plate, which at each street corner leads into a small chamber connecting with tho sewer, she found her brother, but not Grady. Ho had started off on another trip, al though the six bags had been filled in Madison avenue. The loose treasure was placed in extra bags and the whole driven to a Broadway jeweler's- The rest was taken from the places on Thursday morning. A watch was set for Grally. but up to tbis time of writ ing, nothing lias been heard from him, and it is feared that he has perishod. The result of the week's search is roughly estimated at 81,500,000! 1 saw the treasures yesterday, piled in three heaps on the floor, and tho jew- aawasmswHs, sanifffansy ffiasysjo eler informed me that it must have cost over $2,000,000, but in consequence of the old fashioned style of setting, its bruised, battered and corroded condi tion, its value was reduced about one half. A little over a bushel (how queer it sounds to talk of jewelry by the bushel) has been sorted, and among it has been found one diamond ring val ued at 816,000, two more valued at 85,000, and half a dozen valued at So,ooo and upwards. The most curious is a plain gold ring, inscribed on tho inside in Dutch, 4 L'eter Stuyvesant to wife.' It is an heirloom of the Stuyvesauts, | and was stolen with other jewelry, last March, by burglars. How it came in the sewer is a problem for philosophers to speculate about Miss Walker and her brother, who find themselves thus lifted suddenly from penury to great wealth, intend to proceed to England, where they have relatives. This ad venture is talked of everywhere, and already there are others preparing to follow in their footsteps. Stale Treasurer's Report. The Annual Report of State Treas urer Kemble shows a satisfactory con dition of the State finances. The receipts for the past year have been 8G,829,668 54, all from ordinary sources, exceptingß667,s74 35 refund ed by the General Government, and 8100,060 received from the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company on account of indebtedness. The expenditures dur ing the year have been 86,402,303 41, as follows: fur ordinary expenses 84, 097,044 42; 8497,608 70 for the Cbam bersburg sufferers, and 81,867,650 25 for the liquidation of the debt. Among the ordinary expenses is included the amount' t the Ohambersburg sufferers The Treasurer says that the Act uf last Legislature authorizing the pay merit of pensions to the soldiers of the war of 1812 cost the State much more than was anticipated, over 2806 claims having been already received, involv ing adis b u rscme nt ex ceed in g 5160,000. lie recommends that the law be re pealed, holding that the paying of pen sions should be done by the general government. The officer complains of tho negli gence of the local assessors in procur ing returns of monies on interest. In the first,fourth,sixteenth,seventeenth and eighteenth wards of Philadelphia, there is no such return made, and the same is true of other districts in the State The amount of tax paid by tbis source during the year is about 8300,- 000. Ho recommends that the State tax on personal property be dispensed with, and in lieu thereof, each county be required to pay into the State Treas urer, forty cents on each taxable in habitant. He believes that the State debt can be reduced hereafter without increas ing the burden of taxation, at the rate of about three millions of dollars per annum, which would in a very few years liquidate our entire State indebt edness. Sporting' in lito Northwest— Kill ing Hears—A Close-Encounter. Harvey F. Muzzey writes us, giving an account of a week's hunt It will be ol interest to our Eastern readers particularly to see what kind of sport we have here in the hunting line, and what Western boys can do. Mr. Muz zey is but little more than a boy, being but nineteen years old. Here is his story : 'I started out hunting a few days ago, and alter killing a large buck in tho morning, I crossed Apple river and struck a bear track. After following the bear for several hours I entered a large poplar thicket, near Cedar lake. As I was working my way slowly through tho thick brush tho bear sud denly jumped up before me, not over three rods off. When about eight rods off I fired. The ball passed through his lights, and he fell dead a few rods from the spot. ' A few days later while hunting on Apple river, near Sucker branch, I started out with my dog about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Before I had gone far, in}' dog Grant 'winded some thing.' He lead me along —I expected every moment to see a deer—until I came in sight of what appeared to bo a large bole under the roots of a tree. On a nearer approach I discovered a bear's head protruding, I immediate ly raised my gun and fired. This was followed by a cry from tho wounded cub, and a fierce growl from the old bear. My rifle was donblo barreled, and I still bad one charge left. 'As the day had been a wet one; I was fearful that my rifle might miss fire. The old bear rushed out, and, when within a few rods of me, I fired an ounce ball, which took effect in her neck, killing her instantly. The cubs were large und seemed inclined to show fight. I loaded as quickly as possible and dispatched them both. What kind of a ship has two mates and no captain? A courtship.
