The following certificates from well known gentle men. some of whom have loot much experience with horses will show the estimation in which this bridle is held : LXWISTOWX. Aug. 21. LKBFI. Having occasion tv try tlie Safety Bridle invented 1 hv Joseph Haines, ot this town, upon my runnwav ! iiiare, the result has proven to my entire satisfaction | that any horse can he prevented from running ort or j kicking. Mr. 11 M.

GEO. W. HOOTEB. j LEWISTOWS. Aug. 21. 1860. Joseph C. H-vnes Dear Kir: After having fully tri- ! ed vour Safety Bridle on my uutraim d colts. I find that v'-nr invention embraces all that is desirable in a iiridle. Its simple construction, and adaptation to anv eoinnion bridle ami any rein, cannot but make its" ue universal. The ease with which it can be ad justed to ,t soft or liard mouthed horse ;* an excellent feature, r u l i ng lis use its effectual in preventing running or kicking as any other patent hi idle or rein and as~easy on tlie mouth as the common bit-and as it is always rea.lv at tlie ei iiical moment it can not but recommen I itself to all w ho wiii try oi look at it. Respectfully yours, A. T. HAMILTON, M. Lb J LKWISTOWX. December s. lKfifi. i 1 have been driving horses since I know anything | about them, and have drove some very viciousie-rsos j ,nd colts. In driving stleh with a common bridle. I never feel easy nor eomfortal it: to enjoy the ride. Ii j is more nnnot ing. however, w hen you have persons with y> u and you can tell by their countenance ti at tney don't enjoy the ride from fear of vour horse running a little, <> r even runningaway i have always tli.Higtit ti ere might be a bridle or bit so constructed tlu.t von could drive ami hold horses with perfect . use "and safety. The first of this kind I happened to see was 1 r. Mart man'a. 1 thought it was vtry good. In' tl e meantime it occurred to tne that the way the lines' worked on tlie 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 lines quickly, will balk and back very uglv 1 once saw Mr. Christs and Stamen's patent with the elastic strap, working on shout the same principle a* l>r. Harlman's. Mr.Uhnst then; gave me a bridle to try on my horse 1 had the same objection to it I had to L>r. llartman s. My attention was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Humes patent, ot our tow n M v attention was arrested immediately with the appearance of it. 1 have been using it tor some two weeks quite successfully. 1 have drove along the railroad and other uglv places, tee ling quite sate. I think it embraces all you can get out ot a bridle. It the public once get to see this bridle, thev can t help but understand its simplicity, durability and effective ness. and taken together, cannot help recommending itself Railroads are made and being made through the country in every direction, crossing our pubuc road.s four or five times in as many miles sometimes. These crossings often occur at very uyiy place. A parlies are more or less afraid of meeting the trains when they are traveling for fear their horses will take t'ri dit and not be able to hoi a them. 1 huscommunt tv remember* how seriously Dr. Isaac Kothrock, of snvder county, was hurt at the crossing, at the new Tannuiv la*t May. He found he eou.d not hold his horse and then git out of bis buggy, and the .horse tore him arouni badlv. • LEWISTOWH, Pa., August 21, 1806. This community is well aware of the fact that in the midst of an extensive practice, Di. G.W. Hoover was almost kille d by the running oft of hiaiware.

One evening four German students j at a university were enjoying them selves in tin upper room ot'a little hotel. They had four instruments, and were employing themselves in making music alter the hard labors of the day. There was a pause in their music, but no sooner had they ceased playing they ; heard an old man playing a voiiin be neath their window in the street. They went to the window and looked out, watching him until he had ceased play ing. One of them threw out a little piece of money, and said to him, laugh ing: 'Here, poor Peter, this is'3ll we have for you now ; come again some other time.' •Yes,' said another, 'come again in a year from now.' ' Then we will give 3011 a little house for a present,' said the third. 'Yes, in the middle of a garden,'said the fourth. The old man was struck with won der at such tt promise. His long white hair shone brightly in the light of the lanterns which h ing out at a neigh holing restaurant. He looked up to the window and said, after a moment's reflection : 'Young people are you in earnest in what 3011 say to me? 1 hope you are not making light of an old man.' 'lndeed we are in earnest,' repl ed Ernest, with excited voice; and his three companions called upon God to witness their seriousness. 'Farewell, then,' replied theold man, I take 103' leave of you. One 3" ear from to day, at this same hoar, expect me to come and pla\- a tune beneath this window. Farewell, may the Al mighty One, whose name you have called upon, bless you in 3 0111' kind ness.' The old man went off after invoking this blessing upon them. The students closed the window, took their instru ments again in their hands, anil after playing three jr four lively tunes seemed to forget all that had occurred. Ernest said to them, however, after the space of about half an hour, '3*oll seem to he very quiet, 1 cannot he, for 1 have made a promise that L would give something which I have hot got.' •What promise?' answered one of his light hearted companions. •The promise of a house and garden.' A loud hii'gh was tlio response that he met with, and the students separa ted. They met again on the following evening, and during their interview Ernest called to mind the promise ot the night before. They made light of him, and told him that he was foolish to pay any more attention to it. Then said he: 'L don't see where your con sciences are, if you can make a promise and break your word.' 'How can we fulfill an}* promise of that kind?' said Christopher. 'Our parents are all poor, and have no more than they can do to send us to the uni versity. How then can they help us to buy a house and garden for a fool ish old man ? Good night, comrades, I wish you as pleasant asleep as.l shall have.' But this kind of argument did not affect Ernest much, for he could not help thinking that he was compelled to keep his bargain. He was the poorest one of the group, for his moth er was a plain widow, and she made her living by washing. The promise he had made deeply affected him, and he left the university for a week, so that he might go homo and tell his mother the pledge that he had made to the old musician. After ho had told her, she replied : 'Keep it, my son, keep it, if it costs you your life.' 'That is what I'll try to do, .mother, and I hope I shall have your prayers.' Ernest returned to the university and told his friends that they must seriously think of buying tho old man a house and garden. lie went to a neighboring village one day, and found that he could get a neat little cottage and garden for two thousand guldeifr. That was a large sum for those poor students to think of paying, but through the influence of Ernest the other three gradually became con vinced that it was their duty to keep their promise. The four resolved that in one year frolu. the time the pledge was made tho old man should have his house and garden, if it was in their power to get it for him. They must leave the university—a proceeding for them. They came to the conclusion to go through the coun try and give little concerts, for really this appeared to them to be the only way possible to gain any money. Even by pursuing this course there appeared to be a poor prospect to get a large sum. Still they resolved to do their best. They closed their books, put their instruments in the little bags and set out on foot to give concerts in the villages through which they might Vol. LVII. No. 8. pass. Krnost before leaving exacted a promise of the man who owned tho bouse and lot which he had looked at, that he would not sell it under six months to anybody; and that if he would take it at the end of that time he might have it, though the money need not he paid under a year. Week alter week passed by, and the students slow !y proceeded on their way. '1 heir expenses were not heavy, but their in come was certainly small too. NiDe months, and a half passed by, and still they had but little above seven hun dicd guldens It was a great question with them how the remaining thirteen hundred could he raised. They were spending one day lit a country town, and a nobleman living in a large castle a few miies distant, was seeking mu sicians to attend the wedding of his | Jaughter who was to he married in three or lour days. Fortunately enough for the students, the nobleman I employed them for the occasion. The marriage ceremonies took place, and by and by iw was time for the music to begin. The students had trained them- I selves very carefully for that evening and their selections were certainly of a very high order. During the course of the festivities it was noticed that ; the nobleman became very sad. His face wore a melancholy appearance, and those who stood nearest to him {saw him weeping. What could have ; caused him to he melancholy at such a time as that? One of the pieces that these musicians had played was his mother's favorite melody She had often sung it to him many years ago, and he had not heard it since, until the students played it. It was enough to make him sorrowful, and it drew these students to his heart in such away that 1 he could not express his feelings. They had recalled to his memory a piece of music which he had never been able to j find in any music store, and which it was worth a fortune for him to hear. 1 must now make my story short. The noblemen kept the four students in his castle two weeks, became ac quainted with them very fully, and learned their object in leaving the uni. versity to give concerts Ho supplied them with three thousand guldens, and told them he would pay their expenses at the university for four years, and that they might have the privilege of making drafts on him at any time. Their fortune was better than they had reason to expect. Ernest had already written to the owner of the house "and garden that he might ex pect them to take it, so that it was now engaged. The students returned to the uni versity and reached there just a few weeks before the end of the }*ear when the house must be ready for the own er. On the evening of the day when the old man promised to appear, he stood below the window in the bright winter moonlight playing on his violin, lie was true to his word, and expected the promise to be kept. The young men went down and invited hint up, and told him all that they had done. They showed him the deed for the place and gave it to him. On the fol lowing day he formally took possession of it, and they supplied it with furni ture and groceries for housekeeping. The young men felt that they were amply repaid for their faithfulness to their word, by the gratitude and joy of the old man. But they were not repaid in feelings, they were more than repaid even in money. Fourteen years after that time, that place came into their possession : for the old man had died and bequeathed it to them in his will. That part of the town rose suddenly in value.— Many things contributed to increase its value which I will not enumerate. It is enough to say, that in seventeon years from the tiino the four students gave the deed of that house and gar den to the old musician, the same prop erty which had cost two thousand guldens was worth eighty thousand. The students therefore were not merely repaid in heart, but also in money. They kept their word, and tlio memory of being faithful to their word, even to the poor old man who had no power to compel them to be true to it, was a pleasant memory as long as they lived. ffiag"" A new stove has been invented for the comfort of travellers.
