Another Year has departed . and another born, and ft
day we write eighteen hundred and sixty. The 014, is
reckoned with the years before the flood, and of the one
just born no man can foresee what it will bring forth.
Speaking of the advent of the "New-Year," the Republi
can welimays it were a difficult tisk to recount -in the
J,
Spa,* we have alloted to ourselves, \ the ting - ulshing
features of the year that bee just ended. i ey have been
Promptly recorded on the page of his F, and many of
them will endure long in the memories of men. But
there have been those things that will never be chronicled.
The clash of arms, the roar of cannon, the flashing
bayonet, the waving flag and spirit-stirring music—the
trophies of peace—the gory hand of Faction uplifted
against a nation's welfare—lntestinal strife and conflict
beyond the gulf—national and State questions of policy
and polltici--these and other matters have been rescued
from oblivion and stamped upon the age. Bat they are
not all the themes that crowd upon the mind, looking
back upon the eients of a twelve-month. It has, perhaps,
not been written how hearts have bled beneath the
crushing hand of fate; how hopes have been humbled,
ambition prostrated, this or the other side of the goal, and
the noblest impulses deadened and laid low. Nor is there
any public scroll whereon are inscribed what gayeties and
joys, what happy, peaceful delights have been experienced
throughout the year. At such a season as this, all these
will beapt to be called up. And if there have been fore
bodings, and disappointments, and griefs, hope, Pandora's
prisoner, will spring amidst the gloom and open out the
future, colored with the brightest and meet radiant hues.
Plenteousness and peace still shed their benificent
smiles over our country. The sails of her commerce whiten
every sea. The overflowing of her fields are carried to
every nort. The bloodless victory of the "plow, the loom
and the anvil" still gods on. The miner's toil is amply
repaid. Manufactures, mechanics and the sciences keep
pace with American genius. The Union, despite the
croakings of sectionalists, is yet preserved to us, and above
the glorious fabric still floats the starry banner of the
'brave and free. Long may it wave I
With these introductory remarks, we tender to you and
your readers—with whom we have so lung held commun.
ion—a “ happy New Year."
The Price CurrOtt sod the different newspapers of our
city have just puhlished a review of the trade of the past
yesr, which has been charactert,d by quiets.m and
regularity. Nothing but extreme drought, or blighted
crops, can prevent the increase of business in this depart
ment from year to year, en long as the cultivation of the
fertile soil of rho West is extended millions of acres an
nually. With a slight exception or two, speculative
excitement has had air sway. When war in Europe was
positively declared. tie, markets of England and the Con
tinent became Unsettled, and under the expectation that
heavy orders would be drawn upon this country for pro
visions and bread st ults, holders refused to sell except at
a considerable advame, and heavy transactimm in Flour
and Pork were consummated at high figures. The fever,
however, ran but a tow days, when trade returned to its
regular channels. Throughout the season grain producers
have been looking t 1 rward to a decided improvement in
the home , markets. and have consequently exhibited an
indisposition to part with their surplus till such time as a
favorable turn should enable tlatllrto realize they expecte
tie.. Supplies, therefore, have at no time exceeded the
demand to a great extent, and the result has been as tee
before remarked. a season of unusual quietness and regu
larity In traffic of agricultural products.
Receipts as compared with last year have fallen off in
but few articlos, while in the majority there is a large
excesa. There ie a deficit in Hemp, Hog Meats, Oats and
Whisky, but the diftere.e Is more than made up in the
augmentation of privets. Tlio increase in receipts of all

The prairies in Texas have nearly all been burned off,
occasioning great distress to the people living an and near
them. The Legislature will no doubt pass a stringent law
on persons setting fire to the prairies in the fall and winter.
In this State it is a penitentiary offence.

Gen. Sam Houston Was inaugurated Governor of Texas
on the 21st ult., with more than ordinary pomp and excite
ment. The General seems to have a degree of popularity
even among his political opponents.
Mr. L. T. Wigial I, just elected United States Senator from
Texas, is said to be a man of considerable ability and a
fine orator. After his election tie made a very conservative
speech. He announced hie opposition M the re.opeuing of
the slave trade, and against a slave code for the Territories.
He would vote against both. Ho would support James
Buchanan's administration as long as Hr. Buchanan stood
aspen the Democratic platform.

were driven to the woods, and some of them arrested.—
Here, then, we have another taste of the doctrines of Black
Iteptiblicanism. But Missouri is abundantly able to defend
herself from disturbers without or within her borders.
The Bates movement in Missouri is about played out.—
The Black Republicans here place no confidence in Mr.
Beeps' Abolitionism, and are quietly shaping their sails for
Seimrd, of New York. The Bates hobby was only gotten
up tor effect—to induce his friends to believe they were
actually sincere. He may get the vote of this State in the
Chicago Convention, bat not so if Mr. Seward requires it

EDITORS REWARDED.—The chief clerks of
both branches of the Pennsylvania Legisla

of the Senate, is the editor of the Pittsburg
Gazette. E. H. Rauch, chief clerk of the
House, is the editor of the Mauch Chunk

to either of these gentlemen.
LARGE APPLE CROP.—The Lockport Adver
tiser places the number of barrels shipped
from Niagara county, N. Y., at two hundred
thousand. The average price per barrel is
put at $1 50, which would make the value of
the amount sent away $300,000. Adding the
qnantity of apples dried and marketed,
together with the amount sold for domestic
use, the Advertiser estimates the value of the
Niagara county apple crop the present year
at half a million of dollars.

organization of the House, present the appli

the Union. They adopted a Constitution
several years ago. He represents that Utah
has a population of 100,000, and if,the Mor
mons were allowed to elect their officers they
would be almost as well satisfied with a Ter
ritorial as a State organization, and probably
be willing to pay the expenses of their Gov
ernment besides.

ensign of the Republic, now known and hon

advanced, not a single star erased, nor a
single stripe polluted—bearing for its motto
no such miserable interrogatory as—' What is
all this worth ?'—Nor those other words of
delusion and folly, ' Liberty first and Union
afterwards '—hut everywhere, spread all over

The undersigned takes this method of informing the

I was an observer of its effects in- a friend of mine.. who
a uffcred almost every thing from a neuralgic affection which
resisted' the best medical treatment in Centre enunty. We
applied free he Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and
gave some inwardly, and in 03 minutes the patient was
asleep, and when awakened was free from pain, and-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.

I have used the Galvanic Oil prepared by J. D Stoneroad,
of Lewistown, Pa., for a very painful disease myself and

111UPOUT OP TUE DtREOTORA OF
THE FARMERS' MtiTUAL , INSURANCE COMPANY,
FOR THE YEAR 18.59.—Read at a rueti9g of the Mem
! boa nr that Institution, on the 21th day of December, A.
D.. 1659, being their Annual Meeting for the Mention of
' Offices.
In making up the report of their proceeelngs, it affords
the Direttors great satisfaction to be enablod to inf rm the
member. of the Company that dating the peat year,.the
losses sustained by the Company have been vary small ; so
trifling, indeed, that there bas been no necessity for levy
ing any tax. during that perks". This gratifying circum
stance, will be more . particularly appreciated, when con
trasted with the severity of the preceding year, during
which, the Directors were compelled to levy and collect
three different taxes. So frequent and nneroua were the
contributions required, that some be.usn to suspect that
the increase of Insurance Companies, in some way led to
the frequency of fires and that the more property there
was insured, the more then; would probably be burnt. The
experience of the "Farmers' Mutual 'neurones Company,"
for the year knit brought .to a close, has fairly exploded a
theory not founded in reason or unstained on philoiniphl
cal principles • The hand of the merciless incendiary.
seems, for a time at least to have been stayed in this vi
cinity, and tne impending dread of unseen danger, no
longer haunts the peaceful citizen on retiring to hie nightly
repose
How this salutary effect has been attained, cannot be
readily explained. No one has beer convicted of arson in
our county, but some who have been convicted and
inn
isoned.for larceny, or other crimes of infergrdelymvento the nomneonson?ofgi.
neighbor's building.
By some it is supposed that the rewards offered by the
County Commissioners, and the Directors of the "Far.
mere' Mutual Insurance Company," hew been the means of
detering ill disposed persons from a further perpetration of
those deeds of villainy, that strike at the Deane of Society,
and spread ruin and desolation wherever they are develop
ed. May we not indulge the hope that some who have
been engage I in this nefarious business, may have become
sensible of the enormity of their crimes, resolved to re
form their lives, and abstain from the destruction of their
neighbor? property in future. This would be the most
charitable conclusion. and if correct, would be the best
safeguard for our future security. Recent events, however,
disclose the fact, that the ruthless incendiary is still in
the exercise of his diabolical vocation, and the lull that
we have experienced, may be the precursor of a storm that
may soon overwhelm-us.
The only fire of any consequence that cc-carrell in prop
erty insured in this Company, was that of a small barn in
Lancaster township, the property of Anthony Lump, which
was burnt on the evening of the sixth of August last
How
How the fire originated was not known. Several other
fires occurred, which fortunately occasioned but a small
amount of damages, which it is not deemed necessary to
notice in this report. but are adverted to in the statement
of the Treasurer. Although but a small amount of prop
arty was destroyed during the year. a considerable amount
of money has been paid during that period, this was main
ly for losses previously sustained, that had not been paid
at the date of the last report. and the money collected was
for taxes previously assessed, a portion of-which still re
mains unpaid and will be appropriated to the payment of
the balance due to the Treasurer. The amount of ppop.
erty insured in this Company during the past year, has
been steadily increasing, and, although a considerable
amount appears to have been withdrawn, it has been
greatly overbalanced by new accessions. The withdrawals,
too, are more apparent than real, being in most cases oc
casioned by a wile of the property or the decease of the
owner, a great portion of which has been re-entered by the
new proprietors. The voluntary withdrawals have been
very few, a circumstance which indicates the confidence
which the public reposes in the stability and utility of
this institution.
The whole number of policies lamed during the year was
one hundred and seventy-five (175) covering property val
ued at $ 383,650
The additions made to old .policies amount to.
Making a total of $ 435,235
The number of policies cancelled was 79; the
valuation of which amounted to $214,116
The diminutions on old policies amount
to 20,445
Making an aggregate cancelled and with
drawn of $ 234,561
Which being deducted from the increase, leaves
an actual increase of two hundred thousand
six hundred and seventy-four dollars 200,674
To which, if we add the amount exhibited by
the last report $4,447,258
We have an aggregate of 0,647,932
Over FOUR MILLIONS AND AN HALF DOLLARS AS the amount .
of property issued by the Farmer's Mutual Insurance Com
pany, at this time.
The Treasurer submits the following statement of the
financial operations of the Company during the past year.
Jobs Rohrer, Treasurer of the "Farmer's Mutual In
surance Company."
To the amount of premiums received since the
date of the last report $ 74.94

A HARD RAP.
One night. this week, a merchant wiihed
To sat the spirit Tappings,
By seeing if the spirits told
The truth In table tappings.
A "medium" he found, who said;
"I am no recromancer ;
But I will call some spirits down
Your questions, sir, to answer."
A rap wee on the table heard,
Which made the parties wonder:—
It wee no feeble, timid rap,
But like a peal of thunder.
The merchant said; "Oh! dear! what's that?
Would friends from heav!nlyjoya, sir, •
Come here, to-night, to frighten me •
With such a thund'ring noise, sir P'
The spirit caller, turning pale,
Replied, "I cannot tell; sir;
For ne'er was heard a rap like that
Which on that table fell, sir!"
Then he remarked in whispered words ;
" Bear spirits, I'm not able
To call you down for fifty rents,
And have you spoil a table;
So please to spell with gentle raps
The sentence you would utter,
And then I'll pocket fifty cents
To purchase bread and butter."
In vain his talk; the table nracked,
And from it flew the splinters:—
Oh I horror: oh I—the spirits rapped ;
"Why don't you pay the Printers 1"
The merchant jumped, and through the door
He bolted like a rocket;
For he had Printer's unpaid bills
Tucked down In ey'ry pocket!
He paid them all within an hour,
And then, he proudly started
To try the spirits once !again '
When feeling honest!hearteal.
The spkits rapped: 'l If you have paid
The Printers, one and all, sir;
You will be right, If Clothes you wear
From Bennett's Tower Hell, sir ;"
Then seek the firm at Tower Hall,
And buy a suit for Winter
Of those who ever cheaply sell,
And always pay the PRINTER."

4yefs Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, in which we have la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Pafa Sarsaparilla, so combined with other
substances of still greater alterative power as
to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large class of our
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by expel ,
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints :
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS Cosrmerwrs,
ERUPTIONS AND ERUriirli DISEASES, Um:ens,
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, Svi'M RHEUM,
SCALD HEAD SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AP.
Fromm, 311norousi DISEASE, DROPSY, NEIN'
HALO'S. OR Tie DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY, DYS
PEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE,
on ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IN:marry OF
THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which, fester in the
blood at that season of the year. Ey the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do'
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the'
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins • cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your -feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
SAMUEL WAY,
JOHN M. HELTON,
JOEL HAWLEY,
ExeCutive Committee
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preptiratiens,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thineelse.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence; bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete,
