GaNNIBALISMtON THE PIaINB--ReTURNING
Gold .Hunters JLilling and Eating a Com
rade.—An old man from Pike's Peak gold
mioes bas. arriyed at Cleveland,, and tells the
AUl^tbry:
On the , tenth day oat from the mines on
theii ietarn, two pf the party that the old
man, <hfeson andnemhew bad come upon, had
died of were buried by
their comrades. " One of 'them was drom Mor
rdw^county,-Ohio.; His name was James
Richards. The other was from New Hamp
shire, but the old man did not remember his
name. The wretched party crawled on until
the a next.; day, when another died and was
li£e those who had died the day before.
Matters were now appallingly desperate, and
one of the party proposed they should draw
lots to ; see which one should be killed and
eaten by the rest 1 This was done, tremblingly
and silently, and the old man's nephew was
the unhappy loser in the terrible game for
life. He was dispatched by one of the survi
vors of the party they had overtaken, and
eaten by the miserable men. The next day,
towards night, they met an outward bound
train. They pounced upon the oxen aod slew
them outright, before the astonished owners
could offer a word Of remonstrance. They at
length reached St. Joseph, where they separ
ated. The old man and his son found a friend
who loaned them sufficient money to take
them home. The son was with his father and
fully corroborated what is related above.
THE REAL STATE OF THE CROPS,
The crops have this year furnished a sub
ject of unusual interest, though the accounts
given by the country press have been by far
too meagre. The editor of the Pittsburg
Dispatch , who is well informed on this subject
and publishes all his authorities in full,
comes to the following conclusions:
“ Ist, That the grea't wheat growing region
of the West is uninjured.
2d, That later reports —which we have in
several instances—will bring better news.
3d, »That there is no occasion for a wheat
and dour panic.
4th, That corn, potatoes, and garden vege
tables—if no further disasters happen—will
be abundant, though a month later in yield.
sth, That there will be a fair supply of the
moat valuable of all fruits, apples, and a tol
erable show of less indispensable fruits and
berries.
6th, That those who purchase flour and
wheat at high panic rates, will regret it before
September."
Every journalist will testify that while
ever / disaster aff toting the crops is invariably
published and exaggerated, anything tendiDg
to reduce prices ro p m i;d over in solemn
silence. Everybody knows, who has lived in
the country, what a remarkably cheerful body
of men farmers are, how invariably the
weather suits them, how sanguine are their
anticipations of good crups —in short, to drop
the ironical, how prone they are to keep up,
even to themselves, representations which may
tend to raise prices. When we consider the
precarious nature of crops, and how a few
degrees change in the thermometer may
destroy the hopes of months, this is natural
enough. But the country at large should in
all cases know the whole truth, aod nothing
but the truth. —Evening Bulletin.
About Grape Vines. —The grape vine will
live, says the Genesee Farmer, as long as the
Oak. Pliny speaks of a vine which had
existed 600 years. There are vineyards in
Italy which have been in a flourishing state
for upward of 300 years ; and. Miller states
that a vineyard 100 years old is considered
young. There is a vine at Hampton Courts,
near London, of the Red Hamburg variety,
supposed to be 375 years old. It occupies
about 120 square yards. One branch meas
ures 114 feet in length. It has produced in
a single season, 2,200 bunches, averaging one
pound each. A vine at Northalleraton,
(lately dead.) about the same age, was even
still larger. The stem, neur the ground, in
1785, measured 4 feet in circumference.
Large Train. —A train of fifty double cars
—equal to one hundred common freight cars—
loaded with cattle, arrived at Harrisburg, Pa.,
from the West, over the Pennsylvania Rail
road, last Saturday week,and proceeded direct
to New York by way of the Lebanon Valley
and East Pennsylvania Railroads. It was the
largest train seen in Harrisburg for some time.
jpg?* From Mexico we learn that the decree
of banishment against Santa Anna has been
reversed, and that he has been invited to
return to that country. This proceeding is
Baid to be agreeable to all parties, although
what satisfaction can be afforded by it to the
Liberals, it is difficult to understand. The
London Times expresses decided sympathy
with this party, whioh has secured the friend
ship of the United States, and approves the
alleged proceedings of the Americans in
reference to the affairs of Mexico.

Death from a Stingray. —A valuable
negro man belonging to James S. Garrison,
Esq., of Princess Anne, while hauling the
seine on Lynnhaven beach, about ten days
ago, was pierced in the leg by the sting of
the fish called a stingray,, the sting being a
Bharp, barbed bone growing under the long
tail of the fish, about the length of . a man ; s
fore-finger. The wound it inflicted was
painful and dangerous, and, although the
beat medical skill and attention was bestowed
upßn it unremittingly, the poor fellow died
on Monday morning last.

exploring the shores of the Chesapeake, lost
one of his companions by the same mishap ;

What is it ?
Dyspepsia is our National Diseases—weak stomach, feeble
digestion, distress after eating, costive habit, bilious condi
tion. How many suffer with it and its attendant symp
toms of low spirits, bad tasts, coated tougue, obstupified
head, and attacks of headache I Yet how few know bow
to cure it! Generally, because the bowels are constipated,
resort is had to cathartics or I «xativos. But such a con
dition was never cared by cathartics, whose only office is
to weaken the digestion impair the integrity of the
assimilative system.
But HUMPHREYS’ HOMEOPATHIC DYSPEPSIA
PILLS—a simple medicated sugar pill—have cured hnn
dreds of the worst and most obstinate cases. This is done
simply by improving the tone and restoring the integrity
of the digestive organs, from which result good appetite,
regular habits, a clear head, and buoyant spirits. Such a
medicine is a gem, and only requires to be known to be
appreciated.

rjp H E DOMESTIC DUET
A friend of ours named Henry , who is very prac •
tical in his ideas, has a wife quite as poetical in hers; and
—we are sorry to say—our friend Harry, in a peck of
trouble, is “ Hen ” pecked. A few evenings since, his wife
forced him into the parlor to hear a new song, she had
purchased, entitled “I have Something Sweet to Tell
You.” Astounded and indignant, the husband listened,
bnt interrupted his wife at the end of every two lines—
very much to her annoyance—by singing two linos of his
own, as seen below:
•“I have something sweet to tell you,
But the secret you must keep
Hus. —Will it sweeten tea and coffee ?
Do the Qrocers sell it cheap?
FVf/'e—“ And remember, if it Isn’t right,
t I am talking in my sleep.”—
Hus. —As you talk so much awake, love,
You should, dozing, quiet keep!
Wife. —“ For I know lam but dreaming,
When I think your heart is mine—
Hus.— o! I would that I were dreaming,
When I think that I am thinel
■“ And I know they are but seeming,
All the hopes that round me Bhine—
Hus.—Oh! I would that you were seaming —
Closing rents in coats ot mine.*
Wife —“ So remember when I tell you
What I can no longer keep
Hus. —That’s my heart and purse, my lady,
With a void-in each that’s deep.
Wife —“ We are none of us responsible
For what we say in sleep—
Hus. —Oh 1 I wish that I had slumber’d
When swearing vows to keep.
Wife —“ My pretty secret’s coming,
Oh listen with your heart:” —
Hus. —My ears, by Bcolding deafened,
'fro longer act their part!
•“ And you shall hear it humming
Bo close ’twill make you start:”—
Hus. —I’ve had enough of humming —
Let Aumbugs all depart.
-“OhI shut your eyes so earnest,
Or mine will wildly weep
Hus. —lf tears will stop your talking,
Let floods of them he deep.
Wife— l love you, I adore you I
But I’m talking in my sleep!”
Hus. —Awake you never talk so—
I wiU poppies for you steep.
Note.—The pretty song was ended
With the symptoms of a squall—
The husband, to avoid it,
Went to Bennett’s Tower Hall;
And now the man is singing
In a bargain he did reap—
I’ve something true to tell you,
And no secret you must keep!—
’Tis bny your clothes of Bennett
If you wish to buy them “ cheap!”

To my Friends and the Pnblic generaly: ,In addressing
yon from my new place of business (next door to Brene
man’s Shoe Store,) I sieze the occasion to thank you for the
encouragement you have given me since I
started at my old stand. I can safely say
that never had a young beginner mote
cheering encouragement to continue in the «PM|ggSS|
business he commenced. I therefore thank
you for your kind wishes and for your more substantial
aid, and at the same time may be permitted to express the
hope of continuing to merit both, by my future efforts to
please. I now pay a larger rent, but have a larger and
more convenient store, and depend upon the increase of
business to reward my efforts and increased expense. I
have just received a fresh invoice of the publications of
HARPER & BROTHERS,
including many of their latest editions and publications,
to which I invite your attention, as I am able to sell them
at something less than the regular prices.
SUBSCRIPTIONS will continue to be received for all the

to furnish them at the lowest rates and at the earliest
moment.

As the season is approaching for the use of Reaping
Machines, the undersigned inform their friends and the

procuring the best and most reliable COMBINED GRASS
and GRAIN REAPERS that are to be found.
We have them with or without Rakea or Reels, all of
which are warranted to give entire satisfaction for k cutting
CTass or grain. Certificates of the strongest character can
be presented, bat we prefer not tiring the patience of the
reader by inserting them in this aivertisement; but con
tent ourselves by courting competition, and would say to
any good person in want of a Machine we are willing they
should take one of ours and any other Machiue from a
different place, and after they have used all, when harvest
is over to keep the Machine they like best.
Wu have the sale of three- of the most approved Reap
ers in the market, and guarantee any of them to give en
tire satisfaction.
Farmers in want of a Machine will find it to their in
terest to examine onr stock before purchasing.

Notice to farmers.
A mowing match will take place on WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 16th, in the field of Jacob Shirk, at the north end of
Duke st., on the east side 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 m and all manufacturers or agents are Invited
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, aud the most simple in construc
tion and less liable to get ont of order. Farmers will find
it to their advantage to be present and see Smalley’s New
Jersey Improved Machine in operation. This machine
will cat any kind of grass or grain, wet or dry; in fact, it
it is impossible to clog or choke this machinejQ the heavi
est grass that can be found in the county of Lancaster.—
The subscriber Hra made arrangements with the manufac
turer, and has now on hand a number of machines made
of the best material and made in the most workmanlike
manner, and are warranted to run with less side draft than
any other. Two small mnles can draw this machine in
any kind of grass; in feet, it runs nearly one horse lighter
thAn any machine in use. The manufacturer has spared
no pains, but has made.au entire new 6et of patterns, and
the seats are placed on eliptic springs 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 machine of last year; there are only two
bolts to be loosened on a slide rack and the carter bar can
be raised or lowered in an instant, and changed from a
mower to reaper, it is very easy and quickly done; in feet,
it is unnecessary to say anything in praise of this machine.
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 sale at the Machine Sbop of A. F.

Fell, Gather and Stitch in a superior style, finishing eaeh
seam by theirown operation, without recourse to thehand

the best Machines in the market, for family sewing, on »c-.
couot of their simplicity, durability,ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of fondly sewing—executing
either heavy or fine wmk with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their Ma
chines, the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Graver A Baker's Machines in my
family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in com
mending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.”— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, i oife
qfßev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor ofN. Y. Independent
“I am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has
been In my family'for many months. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing the spools of thread-”— Mis. Elisabeth Strickland ,
w\fe qfSev. Dr. Striddand, Editor New York Christian
Advocate.
“After trying several different good machines, I preferred
yours, On account of its slmplldty, and the perfect ease
with which it is managed, as wdl as the strength and du
rability of the After long experience, I_foel compe
tent to speak in lhi* manner, and to confidently recommend
it for every variety of family sewing.”— Mrs. & B. Spooner,
wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star.
“I have nsed a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for two
years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have been
worn out without the giving way of a stitch. The Machine
is easily kept In order, and easily used.”— Mrs. A. B. Whip
pie, wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, New York.
“Your Sewing Machine hm been in use in my&milythe
past two years, and the ladies request me to give you their
to Its perfect adaptedness, as well as labor
saving qualities in the performance of family and house
hold sewing.”— Robert Boorman, New York.
“For several months we have used Grover A Baker's
Sewing Machine, and have come to the conclusion that
every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly
done, would be most fortunate In possessing one or these
reliable and indefatigable Aron needle women,’ whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength, and simplicity, are in
valuable.”—J- - W. Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris,
Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., ah Amer
ican gentleman, now resident in New South Wales, dated
January 12,1858: ,
“I bad a tent made in 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 Beam of that
has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine.”
“If Homer could be called up 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
would denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the dlrefui
spring of woes unnumbered.’ ” —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. H. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina.
u My wife has bad one of Grover & Baker’s Family Sewing
Machines for some time, and lam satisfied it is one of the
best labor-saviog machines that has been invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to the public.”— 2. 0.
Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody iQto an ex*
citement of good humor. 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-
Bimere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than
one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money
could not boy it."— Mrs. J. Brown, NdshviUe, linn.

The offer must be for the delivery of 15,000 tons, of 2,240
lbs., of the best Blackheath or Buck Mountain coal,

The price stated must be for the coal delivered on board

If an additional quantity, not exceeding 15,000 tons, is
demanded, it is to be furnished on like terms and con

The coal is to be delivered on board vessels In the port
of Philadelphia, in such quantities and at such times as, in
the opinion of the department, the exigencies of the ser

livery of the coal by the contractors, will be deducted from
their bills.
The offer, as required by law, must be accompanied by
a written guarantee, Bigned by one or more responsible
persons, to the effect that be or they undertake that the
bidder or bidders will, if bis or their bid be accepted, enter
into obligation in such time as may be prescribed by the

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 pnbllc for twenty years; has been the
means of saving a vast deal of property and many lives,
and has 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 wonld have caused the total ruin of tbe
building and all within it
Tbe superiority of these rods over any others in use,
has been testified to by men who bare 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 Bods,
haviDg been selected from all others in use as the beet and
most reliable. Considering the character and position of
tbe men who hare charge of that institution, no higher
testimony could be desired.
Persons 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, Spire Rods, and
all manoer of SCROLL and FANCY IRON WORK, to suit
alt characters of Architecture, got up lb the . neatest and
most darable manner at the lowest cost prices.
