By order of the Commissioners, Oct. 15. K. M. FARRAR. Clerk. " T'ZSn AND PHILOSOPHY." DR. JOHN M'INTOSH, Would inform the inhabitants of Bradford county that he respectfully solicits GOO subscribers for his local wuik entitled " FISH AND PHILOSOPHY, or Sketches made During a Short S >journ in Northern Pennsylvania." The book will consist of from 250 to 300 pages, 12rn0., and will be bound in embo.-sed mii-.lia. The price will be SI.OO. As the work was not written to vindicate any particular theory, or to advance any particular inte rest. it is difficult to say what it aims at—further than to help while away a leisure hour or two, in what the Au thor hopes, not unprofitable reading. The pages are chiefly devoted to descriptions of local scenery ; incidents while Trouting on the Schrader branch; literary criticisms aud reminiscences ; conversations, de velopments of local character, poetry und philosophical reflections. As the publication of the book is not a question of bread, the author ouu use the liberty of speaking plain. — ' Iu the first place, then, he cannot afford to publish the book uuauied—nor would lie if he could ; for the simple reason, he is unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of committing a—possibly—poor book to the world. He there.ore seeks to make a corporate concern of it. aud thus share with the subscribers the odium of tail (ire, should it fail. It is a purely gratuitous matter, gentle men, sign, or not sign. Iu the second place, the author i- unwilling to have his stock of books added to, by too many hundred copies of a work that failed to redeem the price of its publication ; neither docs he desire the horror of witnessing the awful spectacle of an auto-da-fe, of what cost him so much pains aud time to create ; —for he cer t tinlv would commit to the flames what remained unsold of the edition, should they remain too long ou his hands. He is determined to pay the publisher ou the receipt of the edition, should it be printed, asking no favors; and if GOO subscribers can be bad. he will do so. He can afford, however, to wait, should the 000 refuse to coine to the rescue. The MS will not diminish in value. It will ro maiu as it has done, cherished by the owner, as was cher ished and loved the poor man's one little ewe lamb, that j was unto him as a d auglier." The author will ask no one tj undertake to publish it on the strength of its merits : perhaps from pride, perhaps from a prophetic apprehen sion of it.-, lack of merit. Time—perhaps—will determine if he did well to be influenced by the latter consideration. The autiior will further say, that should the desired uuni bcr of subscriptions tie obtained, he will feel tempted to promise an embellished frontispiece.enclosing a medallion likeness or the principal character, Dr. I'lum. And should a second edition follow, he—the author—will exert alljthe influence he can command to secure for the original sufc -eri tiers a lock of that distinguished individual's hair; as thank Heaven, he is appreciative, aud, judging from his antecedents, the author has no doubt that Plum would ' gladly wear a wig for a whole year, to have the pleasure of furnishing to his friends so interesting a souvenir. j Tlie publication of the book, then, i dependent on the receipt of GOO subscribers, aud one month will be allowed : for names to be given in. If, at the expiration of that time I only one person has subscribed, or any other number be twfc-u that and Goo—unless very closely approximating it —the book will not of cour-e be expected to see the light. But, if the entire number be obtained, those who have signed, will, iu three months from the closing of the sub sciipiiiiu lists, be supplied with a copy, or copies, as they may have ordered. Subscription list- will be opened on Monday next,at all the -tore.-, and at the P. O. in the borough ; and at C. 11. Hkkuick's. at Athens. At Burlington, there will be ont at Messrs. Long & Mxkby's store, and at Ulster Mr. John Mar ii kic , and at Monroe, Mr. Sevmock Puixsey, will act as agents. Others may lie authorized. Towanda, October 13, 1855. MA XL PACKET-BOAT GAZELLE.
