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.

Great Rheumatic and Neuralgiac Remedy.
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.

Hear what Mrs. Vaughn of Duncansvilk says:
I have used the Galvauic Oil prepared by J. D. 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. Relieves all pain in a few minutes. Every family
should have it in the house. -

Dear Sir— Mr. Wm. Turnbaugh has been suffering
several years from rheumatism, got so ill that his friends
and relatives were summoned to witness bis death. I in
duced his friends to try the virtue of your preparation—
they did so, as the resort; and, to their astonishment
and joy, he began to improve, got better and bettor, and
now, so far as I know, he is a hale and stout man. This is
not the only case where the Galvanic Oil has surpassed
human expectations. In every case where I have recom
mended the Oil, it has done what it promises to do. Send
us another s'2o’s'worth.

QOCHT W INDY-BUBBLE.
[Entered according to Act of Congress, A. D-, 1859, by
Bennett k Co., in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court
of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsyl
vania.]
From Humbug-land there came a. Count,
Whose name was Windy-Bubble; |
He was a man, of no account, |
Except for making trouble. j
Chorus— “ Yankee Doodle ia the tune, j
Yankee Doodle Dandy,”—
Wait not. girls, for foreign Counts, j
When Freedom's sons are handy. |
The Count ve could not countenance, j
As be for spirits thirated, \
And going often oos“ bast,” '
The Bubble often bars^ed.
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.
Indictment I—Readers will yon mark
That Bennett I have slighted,
And never once said Toweb Hall
In all I have indited. ?
Because friend Bennett gives, for cash,
Id clothes a value double,
Of Tower Hall. I '‘■blow” not, when
I blow a “ Windy-Bubble.”

should take one of ours and any other Machine from a

is over to keep the Machine they like host.
We have the sale of three of-the most approved Reap

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.

PRATT’S PATENT STEEL TOOTH
H A Y A N D GRAIN. 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.

We take pleasure in calling the attention of Farmers to
our BUCKEYE MOWER, which has in its triumphant
practical working during the last harvest, so fully sustained
the decision of the much-abused Syracuse Committee, its
success has been complete and over one thousand were
built and sold. The principle of the Double Hinge Jointed
and Folding Bed which belongs to this machine exclusive
ly, is permanently established as the true one for the per
fect Mower. We with confidence refer to any and all of
the purchasers of the Buckeye, for proof of the above, from
many of whom have been received the most flattering tes
timonials. The demand the past season was far beyond
our ability to supply, aod we trust that orders will be fur
nished early the coming season, that none may be disap
pointed. For those requirlug a Combined Machine we
. recommend our REAPING ATTACHMENTS. We furnish
a rear or side delivery to suit purchasers.

changing the spools of thread.”— Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland,

Advocate. ' , _ , .
“After trying several diflereDtgood machines, I preferred
yonra, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease

Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., an Amer
ican gentleman, now resident in New South Wales, dated
January 12,1858:
“I had a tent made io Melbourne, in 1853, In which there
were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one
of Grover A Baker’s Machines, and a single seam of that
has ontstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine.” t T .
“If Homer coold be called np from his murky hades, he
would sing the advent of Grover A Baker as a more benig
nant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smithy. He
wonld denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the direful
spring of woee unoumbered.’” — Prof. North.
“I take pleasure in saying that the Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machines have more than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have three of them in
operation in my different places, and, after four years’trial,
have no fault to find.”—J. B. Hammond, Senator of South
°“My wife has had one of Grover A Baker’s Family Bewing
Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is one of the
best labor-saving machines that has been invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to the public.’ —2. G-
Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody Into an ex
citement of good bnmor. Were I a Catholic, I should insist
upon Saints Grover and Baker having an eternal holiday
In commemoration .of their good deeds for humanity.
Cassius M. Clay. ,
“I think it by far the best patent in use. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cas
‘ aimere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than
one can If mine could not be replaced, money
could not buy it”—Jfri. J. G. Brown, NashviUe, Tam.

Lightning rods*
To all who intend protecting their' property from
LIGHTNING, a few facts may not be unwelcome.
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.
