pg- Another accident occnrred on Monday

iTltr J H Nsviss, while riding down the h.ll opposite
Ihe Ward House, run into the Park fence and broke his
i, g to two places. Dr. MASON was immediately called

14%. There never was a time, perhaps, in the
"history of our country, when the success and prosperity
of the people of the Northern States depended to so great
an extent upon the producers and manufacturers, as at
tne present time. Almost everything is high and mon- j
ev scarce, hence it becomes an absolute necessity that
the producers of the country should put forth every ex
ertion to provide an adequate supply for the consumers.
Cotton goods have materially advanced and owing to the
sptated state of the country it is impossible to divine
vben they will be cheaper. In the meantime the de-
E ind must be supplied, and the purchaser is compelled
w thc exhorbitant prices demanded by speculators
j mJ retailers, or a substitute be produced which can be
ppjeured at a nominal price, and have the effect to bring
jova the price of cotton. Wool, in consequence, is and
i 2! continue to be iu great demand, and we trust this
d lead the farmers of Bradford more into sheep bus
andry.
Paring the past season the demand for army goods has
kept the mills, all through the country running to their
(-..'.powers, and some to answer contracts, night aud
dr. The prices of the grades of wool thus used have ad
nsced nearly one hundred per cent, since July last.—
*hen the market shall be supplied with these goods,
;K manufacturers will necessarily turn their attention to
her qualities. This will give all the inducement to grow
rod that can he had, and our farmers that have sheep,
srcan procure them, will find them profitable for their
Jwce as well as their carcases.
According to the cenus of 1850, there were G0,403 sheep
sported in Bradford county, and no doubt that number
til largely increased during the past eleven years.
We also observe by the census of the same year, that
10,100 pounds of flax was produced. This amount might
te easily doubled with great profit to the grower.
bet our farmers take these matters into consideration,
and also remember our hint on maple sugar making,

DIED,
In the Hospital at Bird's Point, Mo., of Measles, Lient,
JOHN R ANDOLPH M'KKAN, son of Wm M'Kean,
of West Burlington, Pa., aged 32 years aud 3 months.
Mr. M'KEAN enlisted in the U. S. Army in 1851, and
was sent to New Mexico as artificer in the Artillery un
der command of Col. FONTLEROY. He served his five
years' enlistment, then returned to Kansas : but as things
were quiet there he returned to Pennsylvania. In 1856,
he went to Ottowa, 111., and staid there until April last,
when he enlisted in the 20th Regiment Illinois Volun
teers and was sent to St. Louis, Mo., then to Cape Girar
dau, then to Cairo, 111., then to Bird's point, Mo., where
he died, Jan. 22, 1862, in prospect of a blissful immortal
ity beyond the grave.
West Burlington, Feb. 10,1862,
January 3d inst., at his residence, in Herrick, Bradford
county. Pennsylvania, Mr. ISAAC CAMP, aged 79
years, eleven months, and thirteen days.
The deceased was one of the seven children of Job and
Anna Carnp, that emigrated with thetfi from New Mil
ford, Connecticut, to Wyalusiug, Pennsylvania, in the
Spring of 1792. The aggregate ages of these seven chil
dren and of Israel, their brother, horn after their emigra
tion, amount now to over six hundred and twenty years.
His death is the first and only one of this family of chil
dren since their settlement here. The children, grand
children, and great grand-children of the deceased, yet
surviving, amount to seventy-five. There are yet living
some three hundred and fifty-four of the descendants of
Job and Anna Camp. Isaac Camp was one of the first
settlers in what is now Herrick township. The honor of
being the original inventor of the mould-board of the
cast iron plough, is claimed for him. Wnen Mr. Wood
of Cayuga county, N. Y. was laboring to perfect the in
vention of the cast iron plough, and failed to suit nimself
with the Tight shape of a mould-board, Mr. Camp gave
him au idea of the form lhat suited him. Mr. Wood
never claimed the invention of the mould-board,and never
took a patent for it; but only for the point and land-side.
He expected Mr. Camp would take a patent for that,
which, however, he never did, as he never applied for it.
About twenty-eight years ago the deceased became a
subject of the renewing grace ol tod, and his subsequent
life evinced the greatness and reality of the change on
his moral character and prospects. His last days were
preeminently his best days. As the infirmities of old age
clustered aronnd him, and gave him premonitions of his
approaching dissolution, he seemed to he repining for
heaven ; and when the summons came, we trust, his
freed spirit, sanctified by grace divine, was prepared for
an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. C.
