Manufactories in the South. —The New Orleans Picayune refers cheerfully to the establishment of a steamer line between that city and Boston, and after showing its many advantages, regards the only drawback to an increased and most profitable commerce between the two cities, to oonsiet in the encour agement, by the people of New : England, of the war against the domestic institutions of the South. To remind these parties of some of the consequences .of this persistent hostility, the Picayune has the following observations: “ It may not be known by theone idea men of Massachusetts, who sneer broadly at the cotton-growing States, and find, as they sup pose, abundant proof that the institution of slavery cripples their progress and is against their development, that they now fall but little behind vaunting New England itself in the productiveness of their manufactures. In 1858, the States of Virginia, Missouri, Mary land, Kentucky and Tennessee, produced $117,954,737 worth of manufactures ; while Connecticut; Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont prodnced only $123,599,- 840. Yet manufacturing industry in these Southern States is of late introduction. The Empire State, Georgia, probably goes far beyond any other commonwealth at the South in the extent of her manufactures, while even in Louisiana and Mississippi enterprises of this character are rapidly increasing.” Tornado in Illinois—Sixteen Persons Killed. —The Jacksonville correspondent of the Springfield Register says, that a most terrific tornado occurred twelve miles south of that city on Friday week. The violence of the whirlwiod is described as exceeding anything of the kind ever witnessed in this country, and could only be compared to a West India hurricane. Sixteen persons are reported to have been killed and many others seriously injured. Houses and barns were demolished and blown to atoms. The names of the killed have not been ascertained. This, it will be observed, occurred on the same day that the hail storm visited our section of couutry. Violent Hail Storm.—On Monday after noon of last week, between three and four o'clock, the borough of York and its vicinity were visited by one of the heaviest hailstorms thut has occurred for many years in that neighborhood- Lhe storm lasted for nearly half an hour, and in some places the hail entirely covered the ground. The stones were very large, and it was 1 eared that much damage had been done to the crops and fruit. A Superior Pen. —We have received from Angle & Co., 102 Canal street, New York, one of their superior make of Guld Pens.— Having tried the same, and found it every thing it was guaranteed to he, we can cheer fully recommend this pen to all persons who have much writing to do. All in want of a very superior article in the pen line cannot do better than by sending on their orders to the above firm. JBgy** Sufferers from Scrofula and Scrofulous affections, clean up! Why wear your Pimples, Blotches, Ulcers, Sores? Why have the life twisted out of you by Dyspepsia, Rheumatism and G ait? Why suffer Syphilitic and Mer curial diseases to rot the hones in your body, or the flesh off your bones? wby let your sluggish blood drag, and scatter its distempers through your veins ? Ayer’s Compound Lx’t of Sarsaparilla cures these complaints, and cleanses them out of the system. Use it faith fully and you bring to society a healthier, cleanlier, and far more acceptable member.— Democrat, Baltimore , Md. Locustsijy tue Million. — Under thishead ing the Lexington Advertiser, says in parts of the country that locusts in any number have made their appearance within the last few days They emerge from the earth, leaving the ground in the neighborhood of trees thoroughly perforated with holes about the circumference of a five cent piece. We understand that it is exactly an interval of thirteen years since they last made their appearance here in any number—first in 1833 and then in 1846. In the latter period during the Mexican war, a great deal of superstition waß attached to the appearance of locusts. Shocking Custom. —A recent communica tion to the Indian Office, from the Superinten dent of Indian Affairs at San Francisco, reports a strange but shocking custom that prevails among almost all the Indians of California. This is that of burying alive.— Whfen a widow dies and leaves young-children, the tribe to which she belonged will bury the orphans alive. The Superintendent states that he will use all his efforts to put an end to this cruel practice, but it had been impos sible to prevent it entirely as yet, even on the Government reservations. Gkeat Calf. —Mr. Bennett Webb, of Po copßon township, Chester county, has a calf one week old, which weighed within twenty four, hours of its birth, the enormous weight of 123 pounds. We announced a year ago that Mr. Dickey, of Oxford, had a calf weigh ing 115 pounds at birth; but that was subsequently beaten. This calf of Mr. Webb, however, beats the calf that beat Mr. Dickey's. Successful Farming. —lt is stated by the New York Times, that Prof. Mapes now farms one hundred and twenty acres of land near that city, -and that his total receipts for produce raised on his farm from April Ist, 1858, to April Ist, 1859, were $11,627 88 . His total expenses were $3,152 28, leaving him the handsome net profit of $8,475 GO. Politics in Kansas. —Horace Greeley and Frank P. Blair are both lions in Kansas now. There is much political excitement in the Ter ritory, because of the new preparations for a State government, and the organization of political parties, in correspondence with those of the country, for the elections under it.— parties have been Free State and Slave State ; now they are dividing into Re publicans and Democrats. Large Catfish. —A catfish was caught in the river Schuylkill, near Frick's Locks, Ches ter county, on >aturday last, which measured 19 inches in length, 41 inches between the eyes, and weighed 3! pounds. A Heavy Verdict. —At St Louis, on Thursday, a Miss Effie Carstang, a young lady of twenty-five, obtained a verdict of one hundred thousand dollars against a wealthy old gentleman of sixty-five years, named Henry Shaw, for a breach of promise! Henry must not behave in.so naughty a manner to 'the young ladies hereafter, as it turns out to be a very expensive business. Miss Effie's affections very much trifled with—still, we think, she might stand a few more disappointments of the same sort, at the same price, and then get a handsome young bachelor at last. Religious Statistics. —The Old School Presbyterian General Assemb-y, which met at Indianopolis last week comprises 2,498 ministers, 2,324 churches, and 250,000 church members. There are 140 Presbyteries entitled to send delegates to the General Assembly. A Bishop Elected.— At the New Jersey Protestant Episcopal Convention, week'before last, Rev. Dr Odenheimer, of Philadelphia, was elected Bishop of the Diocese. SPECIAL NOTICES.

SUFFERING HUMANITY READ THIS The undersigned takes this method of informing the public generally that there is no medicine now offered to the public that is equal to DUVALL’S GALVANIC OIL in relieving suffering humanity. I was an observer of its effects in a friend of mine, who suffered almost everything from a neuralgic affection which resisted thabest medical treatment in Centre county. We applied freely the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and gave some inwardly, and in 20 miuutes the patient was asleep, and when awakened was free from pain, aud con tinued so. This is a positive fact which I am willing to make good at any time. A case of Felon was cured in nearly the same length of time. J. 11. HANN, Centre Hill, Centre county, Pa.

SUmeroad, of Lewistown, Pa., for a very painful disease myself and recommend it to others, aDd in every case found it to be one of the very best medicines for sore and painful dis eases.

He said that he. iu Hnmbng-land, ; To wealth and fame bad risen— j In courtly phrase he talked of courts, But never mentioned prison; • j Although, within the graoite walls i Where stubborn guards are mounted, ! The Windy-Bubble—then no Count— For years the hours had counted. A Babble, to the pipe he clnng; la meerschaums mnch delighting—' A mere sham he, as will be seen In faets we are inditing. His whiskers, hair and eyes were brown, His wicked heart was black, oh! Both sense and reason he, alas! Eschewed, and chewed tobacco. He smoked and chewed, aye, worst of all, Took snuff like any Beadle; And, thns addicted to the weed, He could most slyly w(h)eedle. A maid, with scores of worthy beanx, Spurned all of them as stnbble, And, with the hope to win a Count, Encountered Windy-Bubble. He talked of love, of wealth and rank, And clouded all her senses— When he, in Cut knew nanght of rank, Except his rank offences. One day, when seated by her side, With vows he did entreat her, .. And, while he did his vows repeat, He stole her gold repeater. He pawned the watch, and sent his dear The ticket—base deceiver! And, with his vows all unredeemed, Made her redeem her lever. The girl was cured—the Count was caught, And, though he said he right meant, Was guilty found upon a count Set forth in an indictment.

A mowing match will take place on WEDNESDAY. JUNE 15th. in the field of Jacob Shirk, at the north end of Duke st., on the east Bide on the Litiz pike, SMALLEY’S NEW JERSEY IMPROVED MACHINE,- patented, April 12th, 1859, will be on the ground at 9 o’clock, A. M., and all manufacturers or agents are Invite 1 to bring their machines, and test them in grass to enable farmers to select the machine that proves to do its work best and the easiest draft, and the most simple in construc tion and less liable to get out of order. Farmers will find it to their advantage to bo present and see Smalley’s New Jersey Improved Machine in operation. This machine will cut any kind of grass or grain, wet or dry; in fact, it it is impossible to clog or choke thi6 machine in the heavi est grass that can be found in the county of Lancaster.— The subscriber has made arrangements with the manufac turer, and has now ou band a uuuibtw of machines made of the best material and made in the most workmanlike manner, and are warranted to run with leas side draft than auy other. Two small mules can draw this machine in any kiDd of grass; iu fact, it runs nearly one horse lighter than auy machine in use. The manufacturer has spared n'o pains, but has made aD entire new set of patterns, and the seats are placed on eliptic spriugs which takes the jar and jamming of the machine ; the boxes of the master wheel are not to be altered from mowing to reaping as it was on the Jersey machiue of last year; thenf are only two bolts to be loosened on a slide rack and the cutter bar can be raised or lowered in an instant, and changed from a mower to reaper, it is very easy and quickly done ; in fact, it is unnecessary to say anything iu praise ofthis machiue. All I ask is Farmers to call and examine the machine be- fore purchasing elsewhere, and they will be convinced at once that this is the machine that will suit them the best. The machines are for salu at the Machine Shop of A. F. Bair, in East King st., in the rear of Dr. G. B. Markley, Lancaster City, a few doors east of Spraeher’s and Lechler’s taverns. ABRAIIAM F.

RAKE . PATENTED BY RANDALL PRATT. This Rake fias taken the First Premium jai Nine different Exhibitions. ~ Alter toiling and experimenting for many years, we have finally succeeded in getting up a RAKE that is perfectly adapted to rake both Grain and Grass, e%ch tooth being fastened on a ferrel so as to admit of its raising and lower ing to suit uneven surfaces with an independent cleaner. The public are already aware that this RAKE is unri valled in any market, and is admitted by every person that has seen it work (and who have seen other different ma chines work) to be the very best Rake now in nse. The large number sold by us last year, and the efforts of different parties to claim the right to sell, is of itself a most convincing proof of its superiority. We guarantee to every purchaser our indisputable right to sell the said Rake. The subscriber refers to the following persons: LANCASTER COUNTY.

THE ELECTRO MAGNET LIGHTNING ROD has been before the public for twenty yeart; has been the means of saving a vast deal of property and many lives, and never in a single instance failed to meet the high est expectations of its value. Hundreds of our own citi zens can testify from their own knowledge of its ability to protect property in safety; who have been eye witnesses where buildings public and private, churches and school houses, have been saved from destruction—the rod receiv ing and carrying harmless to the ground, strokes which but for them would have caused the total ruin of the building and all within it. The superiority of these rods over auy others in use, has been testified to by men who have no superiors in general science or In this department. Recommendations to the number of six thousand can be seen at the factory. The United States Patent Office is protected by my Rods, having been selected from all others in use as the best and most reliable. Considering the character and position of the men who have charge of -that institution, no higher testimony could be desired. Persona residing at a distance should be on their guard against a class of swindlers who by false representations of every description, seek to mislead the purchaser. Where my agents are not personally known as such, the only safe plan is to apply, by letter or otherwise, at the Factory. Weather Vanes, Cardinal Points, Bplre Rods, and all manner of SCROLL and FANCY IRON WORK, to suit all characters of Architecture, got op in the neatest and most durable manner at the lowest cost prices.
