IhJ.M. Willis Goist,
Haw oysters, game, and roast beef rare,
Are gobblen down by (Jrelst;
While bran-bred stale and crackers taro
Aro t ibbled at by Gelst.
Old brandy, gin, and bottled rye
Are relished well by Grelst;
While cat-nip tea, (.tare on the sly,)
Is all that’s drank by Gelst.
A loud-mouthed, roaring, ranting pal

But these two loyal editors,
By Beelzebub enticed,
Aro always quarreling like curs—
These patriots, Grelst aud Gelst.
A coal of bato burns In tbe breast
Of Mister Elwood Grelst;
While venom swells the narrow chest
Of J. M. Willis Gelst.
The one growls like a bull-dog pup,
Tho other like a “llstc;"
And grievous words aro thus stirred up
’Twixt Messrs. Grelstand Gelst.
“You couldn’t quite wear Tbaddy's shirt!"
ttneeredJ.M. Willis Gelst;
“ You wear a dickey, daubed with dirt"
Laughed Mister Elwood Grelst.
“The people’s verdict made you quail,"
Grinned J. M. Willis Gelst;
“Tbelr verdict once locked you In Jail,"
Replied quick-witted Grelst.
“You shared with Kauffman and with Fry
Our bribery fund !" said Gelst;
“There you incontinently lie 1" ;
Roared honest Elwood Greist.
“You tried to cheat ÜB>f our vote !"
Knar led J. M. Willis Gelst;
“Yes, but I never forged a note !"
Retorted Elwood Grelst.
“ f)f tho Thug kite you are the tall,"
Yelled J. M. Willis Gelst;
“Aud you a levier of black mall,"
Growled angry Elwood Grelst.
“ You arc tho willing tool and slave
Ot thieving Thugs! ” said Gelst;
“And you a villain and a knave —
A cheat—a fraud!" said Greist.
“ Wha.l soldiers' tioitnb’r.? reared yon pllo
Of brick so high?" quoth Gelst;
“ Not soldiers such as you, poor, vile,
Convicted wietcb! " said Greist.
And thus goes on their war ofword’,
With criminations spiced !
Ah! should they change their pens for
sword <—
These heroes, Gelst and Greist—
There would be mortal combat then,
TUI both were sacrificed !
And who would care tor Geary then?
And who for Goist or Grelst ?

A Fizzle.— The Republican meeting held
in front of the County Committee Rooms,
on Duke street, Wednesday, notwithstand
ing the big posters, the eminent speakers,
tho music, tbe illumination and the urgent
calls made upon the faithful by the Radical
“organs” to attend iu their majesty, there
was but a pitiable squad assembled to lis
ten to tho logyism of Patterson and Hood,
the twaddle of Dickey, and the howling of
Hower, Fisher and Shenk. Even the Com
mittee on Applause became ashamed of
clapping their hands at the empty air, and
the Band very appropriately ended the

ings was also all burned.
The light of the fire was seen in this city
while the Firemen where in line of parade;
several companies withdrew from it and
ran some distance out the MillersviUe turn
pike, but owing to tbe distance of the scene
of the conflagration from this city they
were compelled to return without reaching

George W. Wormley, Esq., moved that
the Convention proceed to nominate
candidates for County Offices.
Jeremiah Mohler, Esq., made a few re
marks, urging that a proper distribution of
candidates in the different localities be
looked to, and that tbe best and strongest
men be selected.
A motion, made thut the Convention
adjourn without settling a ticket, led to
some discussion.
Dr. Carpenter gave his views at some
length against the propriety of settling a
ticket, and gave it as his opinion that it
would be best not to put forward candi
dates at tho present time for county officers.
Dr. Deaver, the mover of the resolution,
advocated its passage, alludiDg to .the dis
sensions between the contending factions
of the Radical party, and expressing his
belief that tbe State ticket would be bene
fited by to settle a ticket.
Charles G. Beale, Esq,, of the city, spoke
in favor of nominating a full ticket, and his
remarks brought down roundsjof applause.
Captain Isaao Hull also spoke on the
same side, and from the manner in which
his remarks were received,Jt was evident
that those favoring the nomination of a
ticket were overwhelmingly in the ma
jority.
A point of order was raised that the mo
tion was out of order, but the President
ruled finally that ;the question had been
decided, and that the motion not to settle
a ticket was out of order.
A motion to reconsider too motion « pro
ceed to the nomination of a county ticket
was lost, and the convention proceeded to
name candidates to he voted for with the
following reshlt:

parade of tbo firemen on Wednesday last,
in honor of the arrival of the Washington
Steam Fire Company, of Paterson, N. J.,
was quite an imposing demonstration. The

o’clock, P. M., where they were welcomed
by loud cheering by the assembled firemen
aud a tbrong of spectators. The line was at
once formed and moved over the prescribed
route.
The parade was dismissed shortly after (

Balloon Ascension or Hr. cUorlls K
. Wise, on Satnmay JLast. _
For noma weeksr pasty Mr. OhMles ,E.
Wise, son ofProl.Jonn Wise, tho calebra
ted jEronant. has been making prepare
tlons for a grand balloon asoenatoo from,
this city, and fixed on Satorday last, Sep
tember 18th, as the time.
The day opened rather inauspiclously,
dark clouds threatening rafn, but luckily
only a lltUe fell, and By noon the donds
had become broken. The wind, which had
been south In the morning, changed to east
at noon, and many were the Bnrmlseaand
guesses as to where and when the descent
would be made. , , _ *
As was to be expected, large numbers oi
persons were in from the country to wit*
neBS the novel performance, it being more
than ten years since an ascension had been
made from Lancaster. The town folks also
had taken holiday, and the principal topio
of conversation was “balloon!” Wood
ward and Kevinskl did a good business In
the sale of their muslo “ Up in a Balloon
—the girls drummed it on their pianos, ana
the boys hummed it ou the streets?
up in a Balloon, boys! Up la a Balloon !
Dodging in between the stars,
And sailing ronnd the moon ! , n n_
Wouldn’t It be fun, boys,—wouldn t It be inn
To Boar above the comets and the sun .
“ Or words to them effeck,” as Artemus
Ward used to say.
About noon the balloon was brought into
the Square for the purpose of inflation.—
This operation required sixty feet of oiled
cambric hose, four inches in diameter, one
end of which was attached to the gas main
in West King street, Mayors
Office, and the other to the mouth of the
balloon.
A crowd at once collected, and Captain
Boyle’s Company of Fire Zouaves was de
tailed to prevent those having the affair in
charge from being interfered with.
The inflation commenced about 14 o'clock
under the superintendence of the two Pro
fessors Wise. A numbor of bags, filled
with gravel, were attached to the cords of
the netting with which the balloon was cov
ered, to prevent its leaving terrafirma be
fore its time. As the gas was let into it, it
began to expand, and when filled present
ed tho appearance of a great top, towering
35 or 40 feet high, and swayed to and fro by
the slight current of air that was blowing
at the time.
The balloon is said to bold about 20,000
cubio feet of gas, and about three hours
were occupied in inflating it.
About 4 o’clock, Mrs. Wise, wife of the
aeronaut appeared on the ground, dressed
in a neat, ligtt-striped alpaca, a jaunty
little bonnet on her head, a zephyr shawl
thrown across her arm, and a small silk
American flag in her hand, about 3 feet in
length, bearing the following inscription:
“This Flag has accompanied 239 terial voy
ages— has traveled in the air over 11,000 ml les
—has been constantly the harbinger of eood
fortune—and no serious accident ever occurred
while It was present.”
Mrs. Wise is a good-looking, medium
sized lady, about 23 years old. She has
dark hair and eyes, and a pleasant expres
sion of countenance; was entirely self
possessed, and conversed vivaciously with
her friends, as she took a seat ip the shadow
of the balloon, which at the time she ar
rived on the ground was towering some
forty feet in height. She had with her her
two little boys, aged 5 and 8 years respec
tively. They played around the great air
ship as happy as “petrels in a storm,”
until their mother informed them that they
were not to go along. Then there was
grief and bitter tears of disappointment,
and they refused to be comforted. At last
an idea seemed to strike the 5 year old, and
he whispered to his brother, “ When ze
balloon goes up, I’ll tatoh hold ze basket,
and zen when I'seaway up, pap will be
afeard to frow me out.”
It was not generally known until Mrs
Wise appeared in the Square, that she in*
tended to accompany her husband, as Mr.
Wise bad advertised the seat for sale to the
highest bidder, and it was supposed he
would find a inale purchaser; but appli
cants either lacked the nerve to go up or
the stamps to put down, and Mr. "WiE©
wisely concluded to take with him his bet
ter half. The report of this arrangement
Bpread rapidly, and in a short time Centre
Square was a perfect hive of jostling, sway
ing, sweating and swearing humauity. It
was almost impossible for the military, the
Mayor and the police to keep cleur a space
arouud the balloon sufficiently large to
allow those haying it iii charge to peiform
their work ; and on two or three oem -i.jns
there were altercations that threatened
tiouble. Luckily they passed oil, and the
aeronaut and his experienced father lost no
time in attaching the basket, storing it with
a few refreshments, and placing the cords
in the hands of trusty men prep aratory to
a start.
Mrs. Wise stepped lightly into (be basket
and took a seat. Her husband followed.—
For a momen t there was a dend silence. Five
thousand eyes in tho .crowded; square, the
surrounding windows, steeples and house
tops, were riveted to a common focus. The
word “go” was given and the huge thing
rose lazily and nlmomt perpendicularly un
til above the roof of the Athenreum, -when,
saluted by a perfect hurricane of shouts and
cheers, it drifted gradually and grandly
to the northwest. gNotwitbstandtng tho
fact that this was Mrs. Wise’s first ascen
sion, and that she had witnessed but one
ascension before, she was perfectly calm
and collected waving first her handker
chief and then the flag to the applauding
multitude below, while Mr. Wise, standing
upright in the basket waved his hat, ana
showered down thousands of cards and
handbills vdiicb some of our sharp adver
tisers had furnished him for the occasion.
It was a rare sight to see it soaring higher
and higher—diminishing in size as it re
ceded—looking almost transparent as the
sun Bbone on it—and dark again as the
shadow of a cloud was thrown against it.
A nd it was almost as grand a sight to look
from our elevated position of observation
down upon the sea of upturned faces in the
Square—every bead thrown back at the
same angle, and every eye unmovabiy bent
on the same object! What a picture it
would have made 1
The balloon remained in sight about fif
teen minutes, when it disappeared among
the clouds to the northwest, much to the
regret of the spectators; but in a few min
utes more it reappeared, and was welcomed
by another volley of cheers. It seemed to
be then moving nearly north, and Bbortly
afterwards to take an easterly direction. It
soon hid itself again, however, and reap
peared and disappeared several times.—
About 15 minutes before 5 o’clock it showed
itself very plainly and looked entirely sta
tionary, due northwest, with a fine back
ground of silver topped clouds. It remained
thus till about 5 o’clock, when it was again
hidden by a bank of cloud that intervened
between it and our yiew, but in a few min
utes it arose above the cloud and_ seemed to
be reposing exactly on its summit, and
then to gradually sink down into it, becom
ing less and less distinct until it finally dis
appeared, as though “its grave was dug
among the dismal clouds.”
The steeples, houso-tops and window*
were soon deserted and by half-past 5
o’clock Centro Square had assumed its
usual Saturday evening appearance.
On inquiry ut the telegraph office soon
afterwards it was ascertained that the
teronauts had safely landed about 54 o’clock,
on the farm of J. Hoffman Hershey, on the
Harrisburg pike, one mile west of Saluoga,
and about nine miles north of this city. Mr.
and Mrs. Wise, and the balloon, were
brought home in a wagofi by Mr. Carper,
arriving'about half-past ten o’clock.
The balloon was made on a Wheeler A
Wilson lock-stitch sewing machine, Mr.
Joseph Blaschock, manager of the Com
pany having gratuitously done all the
sewing, at his office No. 04 North Queen
street. Prof. Wise pronouncoa the stitch
ing to be perfect in every respect. Four
hundred and fifty yards of fino cambric
were used in iU construction. It was first
cut into 30 gores, each gore measuring 224
yards in length; then sewed in sections of
6 gores, before oiling and varnishing; after
which;the,6 large sections were sewed to
gether on the machine to complete the form
of the balloon. 17,390 stitches were used for
one seam of 224 yards. /40,000 stitches
were used ior tho entire. The balloon took
40 hours to sew, and some of the seams of
yards were sewed in 10 minutos. If the
gores were laid by lengths, the material
would extend over one-half mile.
STATEMENT OF MRS. LOUISA WISE.
Messrs. Editors : I am not an advocate
of Woman’s Rights in the modern accepta
tion of the term, but have nevertheless a
notion that a lady mightjtake a ride through
the ethereal regions of space without sin*
ning against the proprieties of her sex, or
in the least infringing upon the good order
of a “time for all things and believing
thatjthe proper time had come to gratify my
woman’s curiosity upon this subject of an
ferial voyage, when my husband announced
that he would sell the vacant Beat in his
balloon chariot, “Jupiter,” I accordingly
resolved to be the highest bidder, though it
should be a thousand dollars; when he very
gravely suggested to me about the pay, hav
ing, as he said, two cash offers of fifty dol
lars each, I told him mine was a hundred
dollars—paid in advance, by numerous
charges against him for darning stockings
and sewing on bis buttons for ten years
past. From this he made no appeal, but
said, “all right, you shall go.” ADd now,
Messrs. Editors, through the medium of
your paper, I will tell my lady friends, as
well as I can, how I did go.
At 10 minutes past 4 o’clock last Saturday
afternoon, Jupiter being inflat
ed, I stepped into the wicker-car thereto
attached, and with a throb of delight loom
ed up and over the centre of the city. The
multitude below, with upturned faces—the
rattling sound of martial music—the shoots
of applause—and the earth with all this life,
gradually sinking down—down—still deep
er down, excited me very much, and I in
voluntarily began to wave my ’kerchief in
response to the happy salutations of my
good friends below. My husband handed
me the talismanic flag to wave, while he
would throw overboard ballast composed
of bundles of business circalars, and up, up
we went at a glorious rate. My replies to
his questions for awhile were only—
“ Splendid ! splendid !” My heart was
palpitating with joy over the beau
ties spread out beneath and around,
so that I could do nothing bat
gaze upon the grand scene before me.—
When we got beyond the built-up part of
the city, I ventured my head through the
barrier of ropes to look straight down, and
beneath I spied what seemed a nice little
Christmas garden, with little buildings in
the middle, which my husband told me
was Franklin and Marshall College, and
j ust at this moment a milk-like vapor rush
ed down before and underneath us, entire- :
ly obscuring the world below. All at once
my joy and observation changed to a feel
ing of amazement —amazement most pro
found. Oh, what a solemn silence sur
rounded ns. It was an awfully mysterious
thing to me how this heavenly curtain of
dew drops could so suddenly wrap itself all
around us. The big, puffed-up globe above
oar beads, scarcely visible,.seemed to tend
and stagger with tbls load of vapor welgh
iDg.apon.JV Presently a cheerful, mellow
glfiqmer d£ I!£M qbme from above, 'which
cheered ns again into conversation. Here
threw'overboard a considerable
handle. of business cards, and aa they
scattered through this Illuminated olond,
they crackled like little torpedoas, I
wondered what caused It. Hr. W. said:
“It sounds like electric sparks.” As
they floated leisurely about they shone
like silver and gold. Presently we came
out at the top of this cloud, and hore again
came a new scene. How beautifully strange
up here—great big masses of white, eoft
looking, fleecy clouds below. Oh, they
looked as soft and silky as the finest down,
and they rolled about, as It were, in a wan
ton voluptuousness. "Bat, where are we
now?? I inquired; "I can't seethe world—
we are entirely partitioned o£T; how will we
§ot down?” Sir. W. said—“l will take you
own now; but before.we go, let us eat a
bite of our provisions, kindly furnished us
by our friend, John Bides.” "No, indeed,”
said 1, "this is-a feast of reason; I can only
feast with my eyes.” But, to please him. I
ato a few grapes off a bunch placed in the
car by John Adams, which he was devour
jog with a gusto that indicated a keen ap*
petite, as he also cot out of the basket a
roasted fowl to regale himself with.
While In this solemn stillness I was sud
denly startled. "Oh, what was that ?” Mr.
W. said, "I let off Borne gas to go down.”—
When the valve snapped shut, it cracked
llko a gun and made me tremble for a mo
ment—lt made such a strange uoiso up
there. How we gently and softly sunk
down through this fleecy bed below ; In Its
midst it was more dark this time, and aa
we came out gradually below, I saw the
city as* behind a thin gossamer curtain,
and the clattering of iroa wheels, and
puffing of steam engines, and ringing of
dells, contrasting strangely with the bright
silent world above the clouds.
Here we could see the beautiful Susque
hanna, and here and there a village peer
ing from behind a dark oloud, and the peo*
Ele below hallooing all around us ; and I
eard a voice distinctly cry, “Charley,
come down—come down—come down.”
We repeated these cloud scenes five or
six times, going up and down, and I was
almost led to Delieve that when we shall
change from mortality to immortality, it
will be our happy destiny to soar through
the realms of apace, visiting on spiritual
wing, this globe and that globe; for the
good book tells us that, "in my Father’s
house there are many mansions,” and I
verily felt when I was away up above the
clouds, that* I was in the house of God—it
was so solemnly grand and sublime.
I shall dream of this all my lifetime. I
can now hardly realize It —it seems to me
more like the shadow of a vision—a trance
than n positive thing. I don’tltblnk any
body could mako such an adventure with
out becoming better, and particularly grate
ful to the Creator for the privileges he has
granted us.
We landed safely one hour and ten min
utes after wo left the earth on the farm of
Mr. Hoffman Hershey, about!) milesnorth
west of the city. Mr. John Herr invited us
to his house, where we took supper.

ought to get up a magnificent exhibition of j
its varied agricultural productions. We .
fear, however, that the managers are mak
ing one great mistake, Up to this time thoy
have not advertised their premium list in
any newspaper in tho county. The result
will be that comparatively lew people will
see the bills which they areclrculating. The
only way to roach the people in theso days
is through the newspaper press. If tne
comiDg exhibition should disappoint tho
managers they will know the reason of
their failure. It is certain that the total of
their roceipts will be much smaller than It
would be if they should advertise their
premium list in tho different newspapers of
the county. It is done overywhero e.so
throughout this and other States.

Our county seems to have been well repre
sented at the recent fair ot the American

four bushels of a new kind of wheat re
ceived from New York State, the product

son.
Eagle Shot.—The Oxford Press says
that George Whittaker, of Peacnbottom,
Fulton township, recently shot a grey eagle,
on the Susquehanna river, which measured
7 feet 2 iuches from tip to tip ot its wlDgs.
An Interesting Relic.— David Shoff
of ludiantown District, Manor twp., a dele
gate to the County Convention of the Demo
cracy,showed usonlWednesday a copy ofthe
Lancaster Gazette published in this city on
Sept. 15, 1829—just forty years ago. Hugh
Maxwell was then editor, and the paper
contains the names of the Democratic State
and county ticket headed by George Wolf
as the Democratic Candidate for Govoraor.
Mr. Shoff has been a subscriber to the
Intelligencer both Daily and Weekly for
many years.
Run Over.—A small child of Mr. Benja
min Markley, who resides about a half a
mile from Conestoga Centre, this county,
was driven over with a wagon ou Friday
last. The child is only about a year old,
and was lying on its face lengthwise in the
wheel track, unobserved by the driver of
the wagon until he heard it scream, as the
front wheel ofthe wagon passed over it. A
physician was called, who attended to the
child’s injuries. No bones were broken, but
the child was considerably bruised about
the body and one of its legs.
Accident. —Mr. John Shank, who re
sides near Conestoga Centre, fell from the
over-mow of his barn to the floor below,
Saturday last, thereby causing a fracture of
the thigh a little below the joint. Dr. B, S.
Kendlg set the broken limb.
Daring Robbery.—The Oxford Press
states that on the night of the 2d inst. the
bonse of James and Sally Porter, in Fulton
township, this county, was entered by
thieves, who stole all the canned fruit they
found, together with several pounds of but
ter. After visiting several rooms in the
house in search of valuables, they left for
parts unknown. This is Dot the first time
these old people have been visited by scoun
drels desiring to pilfer.
Tall Corn Stalk.—Mr. Jno. F. Krider,
of Warwick twp., has on his farm a “Pack
er ” cornstalk 15 feet 7 inobes in heighth.
Mr. K» is an enthusiastic Democrat and
would like to hear of a “ Geary” cornstalk
exceeding the one above mentioned in size.
The Storm—Numerous Barns avo
Houses Struck by Lightning.—' The
storm of Friday did. considerable dam
age throughout the oounty, and the light
nTog struck numerous houses and barns.
We nave already learned of the following
catastrophes:
The barn of Mr t Jacob M.&Huber, be
tween Landiaville and Rohrerstown was
struck by lightning,|and entirely destroy
ed, with all its contents, and a large quan
tity of agricultural implements, and one
cow
The barn of Mr. Bruckhart, on the road
leading from fiftinnga to«{Harlett& was
struck and destroyed, the entire crop of
grain and hay being oonaumed, The stook
was all saved except one cow.
At Salunga the.lightning struck the new
building of Mr. Brenneman, but did little
damage, being carried principally to the
ground by rod.
Both the house and barn of Beoj. Ritter,
1 mile below Lltiz was struck, and the
lightning rods torn off, but no other dam
age done.
The barn of Samuel Groff, on the Man
belm road, 6 mllesjnorth of Lancaster was
struck, but not; much*!damage was done,
the principal portion of the fluid descend
ing the rod, and the balance descending the
spouting which was <»naiderably torn.
A cow on the farm of Mr. Goohanaur,
near Salunga, was struck by lightning and
killed, while standing in a field under a
tree.
A rolling mill in Columbia was struck,
and one man severely stunned.
Tbe barn of John Kuhns, near Maytown,
was struck by lightning and burned down,
and also another building a few rods dis
tant. There was a lightning rod erected
between the two buildings,
Mr. Lougenecker’s barn, near Elizabeth
town, was also burnt, but we havejreceived
no particulars.
The lightning struck five times within
tbe borough of Mt. Jov, but we have heard
of no serious damage being done.
Along the railroad there have been nu
merous slides and washings caused by tbe
heavy rain, but not sufficient to interfere
with railroad travol.
The Marietlian states that a violent hail
and rain storm passed over the borough of
Marietta yesterday. The run at Kline’s
tanyard was very high, the water complete
ly covering the turnpike, and all the cross
ings oyer the streets running north and
South were Impassable for an hour or two.
The barn on the McCormick farm, on the
Lancaster turnpike, adjoining and Just east
of Marietta was struck by bghtniDg and
with all its contents burned. This will be
severe on George Hippie, the tenant, who
was stuuned and knocked down, but soon
aftor recovering, he succeeded in getting
all the live stock, except one calf, from the
burning building; all of bis grain was con
sumed with the barn.
Another barn on the farm of Mr. Kuhns
near Maytown shared tbe same fate—the
barn with all its contents being destroyed.
Tbe noon mail train was detained over an
hour at Musselman’s furnace in conse
quence of the rain Hooding Ihe road with so
much mud that the engiue run off the
traok. A horse attached to a buggy stand
ing in front of Dr. Landis’ office, became
frightened at a clap of thnnder that he fell
over, breaking a sdaft, and upon getting up
a flash of lightning started him off without
the buggy ; he was, however, soon after re
covered, with a portion of the harness still
cliuging to him.

gentlemen constitute the Township Execu
tive Committe of Coleraine for the ensuing
year: _
James Hays, Morgan J. Thomas, John
J. Pennell, Reuben Reynolds, Warren W.

Advantages of Life insurance.—ln De.
cember last, Mr. I. F. Beamer called on Mr
Jame 3 Coleman, residing below Altoona, and
explaining to him the advantage and Import
ance of Life Insurance, obtained his applica
tion for 85000, In the World Mutual Life Insur
ance Company, of New York. He was then
araongU our strongest and heartiest men,with
every prospect of a long life or usefulness before
him. He.was 65 years of age, and paid an an
nual premium of $237.75. Last April, whllston
, the roof of his barn making some repairs, bo
j fell from the Bame and broke his leg up at the
| thigh, au accident which might happen to our
I most careful and healthy citizens. He llnger
| ed on In pain and misery until his death, in
July last. Mr. Beamer attended at once to
making ont;ali the necessary papers of proof of
death, and last week had the satisfaction of
handing to Messrs. James Louden and Thomas
Coleman, his administrators, a draft on New
York for the amount of Insurance. Such a
striking Illustration of the Importance and
value of Life Insurance will do moro than
hours of talk to convince any man that it la his
duty to take out a policy according to his
' means, for the benefit of his survivors; and in
1 connection, we call especial attention to the
I world Muiwa Lia, and to oar fellow-towns-
J man, Mr. I, F. Beamer, who is Us agent rortbls
i county. Do uotdolay—at onco Insure, and you
I will never regret it.
We extract the above from the Democratic
Standard, of Holldaysburg, and would add our
endorsement of the above counsel: "DO NOT
DELAY—AT ONCE INSUREI” and state that
Maj. J. F.FBUEAUFF, of this city, is the Gen
eral Agent for the WORLD MUTUAL LIEE
and will be glad to seo all of our patrons at his
Oflice, to make Inquiries, and to insure. By
the Insurance Commissioners’ Report, of Now
York, for this year, the proportions of Assets
to the amount insured, and of Aotual Realized
Cash Assets to Total Assets of this Company,
are belter and higher than any Company of its
ase, and also surpasses many much folder
I companies. It is safely and carefully man
aged and merits confidence and support,
