Pti 'NED LoPEZ.
'AnOcz the middle of December, 1858, 1
took the cars at Montrose Depot, for Mans.
field, Tioga county, Pa., on a, visit to afriend
resident in that place. !laving some- busi.
ess to.atten4 to at Binghamton, I stopped
there over.night.; . .Tixt evening being pleas
ant, in company with a friend I visited the
new Court Douse recently' erected . itr Ring.
hatqatu —Tjfiltloagifulriz*Paoftkimuls-, of
freestone,.und presents a fine and imposing
spßearanee. The Court beingin session, we
entered the large and,beautiful court-room—
the seat of public justice; for the vindication
of the rights of the citizens of Broome coun
ty—which we found 'densely crowded with
people attentively listening to the eloquent
plea of the learned counsel for,the State in
an important criminal case. After spending
an hour or more at the Court Douse, ie re
turned to the residence .of my friend.
The train was to reeve at 2a. in., and I
was prudent enough to be at the station in
season, where a large number of passengers
assembled 'awaiting the coming train ; hut
fickle fortune doomed us all to. disappoint
ment; ro train was on bend at the appointed
time. Nearly an hour passed slowly by—au
age, (as every one knows that has ever had
any experience in traveling,) and yet no train
had made its-appearance. Arany of the pas
sengers, wearied from, travel and want
. of
rest, took possession of the, chairs, lounges,
and some were soon locked in the arms
of Morpheus. By my side sat a strong and
muspular son of toil, whose loud snoring be
tokened. that he was a pilgrim in the land, of
"elysian dreama - -holding, it only be, sweet
communion With absent and dear ones, For
myself, I was indulging in sweet rernitibeen
ces or the past and bright visions of the fu
ture, when they were ell cut Short by the
laud whistle of the long expected train, which
brought the sleepers to their feet, and we
were soon on our wsv.
Arrived at Corning 'about 7A. M: Cor
ning is a town of five or six thousand inhabi
4ants, and has a very pleasant situation.—
Upon a rising ground. stands the newly erect
ed Catholic Church, 'an imliosiqg structure, of
the G2thie order ot. Architecture. It is built
of stone, and at each corner, towering toward
the heavens, are four lofty domes, bringing
to. one's imagination the heroic days of chiv
alry.
Left Corning at B A. M.. by way., of the
Corning and Blosshurg railroad. The day
was delightful, and the pos'ieriger,s were in
high spirits, conversing on vanities topics of /
interest. Our train—the only one now run
ning upon this road—ire' one of freight with
passenger car attached, (and a heavy one at
that,) and moving only at the rate of about
8 miles an hour gave us ample opportunity
to view the beautiful proipect afforded in the
Tiega valley.
On our route, pas , cd the thrivihg villages I
of Lawrenceville and Tioga,handsomely . sit.
tinted on the Ti oga river. At alkol the M . -
feteut stations we passed, we 'noticed im.. I
mense quantities of pine lumber ready- for
transportntion, 'This tiraneh of - our national
industry has been Cr many years past the
principal business of the inhabitants of this
beautiful valley; to the detriment, we •can
safety say; of its agriculture. But . 1 am hap
py toJearn that many are now turning their
attention to the development of this one of
the most fertile sections of our State. Some
of the more wealthy have, erected for ,iheir
comfort and convenience elegant dwellings,
decorated their grounds n with fruit and shade
trees, and by their industry and taste made
their farms the admiration of all lovers of
honorable prosperity. " '
we
at Mansfield about 1 p. tn., where

produce is equal, if nut superior, we are in

affords a convenient outlet for all kinu.4 of

A Grain Speetilat,or tells lib Faperienee
Generally. speaking; wheat i 9 a Very good

in the granariee;. and , when well ground,
methodically kneaded, judiciously bakekand
browned and buttered into toast, tbeio is no
.One who will speak more respectfully, not to
shy enthusiastreally,. of the. vegetable than 1
will. For I am, an the main,a man too well
bred to do otherwise. But, as nn article: of
commerce, a medium for speenlaticn, I am
emphatically down on the whole institution
—both .".MT inter" and • "Sp ring ;" the one
has proved ",the winter of my 'discontent,"
while the other has " sprung" a trap on' me
like that projected over
,unwary birds ,which
nibble- at these* 7
bait. These retnarkit may
'seein4ivere, but they drop as naturally from
me OS the kernels would:from a head of
wheat that has been welt thrashed.
1... As everybody knows, I am "the on of
Ipoor but respectable parents." I started in
life with this talismanic maxim for money
making: buy when every one is selling; sell
When every one is buying. Well, sortie few
weeks since,. wheat, which has been very
1 buoyant ; suddenly fell. Every one was sell.
ing. I had a little-money, and, confiding in
I my golden rule, " pitched in," and bought at
1" eighty-five." Very soon the staple cour
t modify dropped to sixty-eight. Now, tho't
11, is - the time to get a "margin';" so, mort
-1 gaging the first - lot, I boughtmore. And II!
I venture to say that my old mother never
prayed so devoutly for her bread to rise, as
1 I did my wheat. But stillit dropped ! The
fault, they said, was in the East—(excuse the
pun, tithe pun is obvious;) until, as - it still
i kept dropping, I thought it my duty .to go
into Chicagoand put a step to it. • The first
greeting that met me as I stepped into the
Tremont, was a telegram on the bulletin '
board—" Wheat is flat."' Wheat probably
was flat enough, but this announcement struck
me as being lathera .sharp truths At half
1 past eleVen o'clock I Went down on " change."
lit is perhaps needless to. say that • I 'found
1 things' materially changed since I had bought.
1" Buyers" were offering "fifty-five;"every
! body appeared to be buying; therefore, fol
lowing out my aphorism, 1-sold. The result''
Imay be summed up thus: . -
Two months since .I had money- and no.
wheat; subsequently, I - had wheat and no
money. Nob, by the mai; I have neither!
The second lot - was a poor lot—as poor, in
fact, as the second edition of Pharaoh's kine,
' since it swallowed the first. But Lbouldit to
Make a margin, and .I made it!
I think that nest operators will concur with
me ill the following conclusion: _
That to buy at "eighty-five" and sell at
" fifty-five" will' not pay, unless a man does a
very large business. That wheat, when •it
begins to fall, is a, long while reaching the
bottom. That when it once begins to heat,
it very soon beconies too hot to' hold: That.
lifter all, the surest.way to make money in
wheat is to plant it in good soil. And last
ly, that a man.going into the, wheat market
with even a very small capita, if he is indus
-1
trious and perseveres, May very soon - suc
ceed in owing more than it is probable . he
l will ever. be 'worth. . SANDY.

I How Ladies can Learn , to Skate
Ir is pot probable that there will be much
more skating on the Schuylkill this winter,
but there is so much wit and wisdom in the
following from the Detroit. Free Press, 'that
one could read it with pleasure even in July
" Ladies can borrow or purloin their broth
ers' skates and, selecting the largest puddle
in the back yard, where high fenced interfere
to-prevent any evil•disposed petwon:, from
poking fun, strap, them over a heavy pair of
shoes. If they can-o b et on a pair of.". bubby's"
boots, so much the better, as the.duick feath.
er will protect the feet. The lady will: then
proceed to skate. The operation will be
somewhat as follows :
Yon will make a-dash at the ice, and will
instantly find your:Self flat on your back, With
your hack comb smashed to Hinders against
the ice. in this, however, you will be more
lucky than the youngsters, wholinve no back
hair to protect their unfortunate craniums.—
You will recover from the concussion - h'
slow degrees, and, having seen any quantity
of stars and blue lights during the operation,
will essay . tt perpendicular position. flaying
got one feat under you, and nearly placed
the other iii the same position,
both will cud'-
denly 'start off like a shot, and you will be
reduced to the necessity of depositing your:
self 'hump on. the while your toes will
stick up side by side, staring you in the face
in nwery coinicai manner. You Will try
again, and in an excess of caution to prevent
the skates from sliding out forward, will
cause them to take an opposite direction, and
as. quick as lightning you will find yourself
flat on your face—two to onewith a bloody
nose, or a' black,and bide spot on the fore.
head, that will spoil your efiances'to parties
fur a month to come. • If 'you happily escape
this misfortune, you will creep on your hands '
and James to dry land, and,. somewhat dis.
gusted, regain your feet.
Advancing more estitionsly this time, you ,
venture out again and regain the middle of
the ice, when, as you begin to exult in your
proficiency, your feet will commence to part 1
company gradually, ikorkindout sidewise.—
The agonizing suspense of, such a moment
can only be appreciated by a person who has
contidently,trusted his: weight - to. two saw.
logs in the water, and . ivith tine 'foot upon

engaged when the motion, to refer s was-pat, -
and did not-know. that the report was made;
In my judgment, the, lend policy of this
country should be brought back to, the' prin
ciples of sound legislation on this nubject, as ,
laid down by General Jackson, in his Ines- ,
sage in 1832, that 'you should cease .. to look
to the public lands as ,s source of reveeue,
and that they should be set apart add 'mut
ed, in limited quantities, as boom ter.amool.
settlers... Believirsi,that :that atiMilii. have.-
been the policy in the &it dispositionOt the , `; _
- puldic linds,, I trust that this Ciotti* will
restore the Government to that politer, nil .
that the . public lands will hereafter be scour;
ed in limited 'quantities to actual settlers, in;
stead of being left, as they now are ; to be ale.'
sorbed by the capital - of the country in a vast
system of laud monopoly. . .-, . :
It is unnecessary , I trust, to'argue -with.'
any gentleman on this floor, that the !Judie
est, direst curse that can be inflicted on the
nevi States or upon any country lea, system
of-land monopoly.:,lt palsies the arm of in
'dustry and paralizes the energies of a nation.
It. luta been tried in the Old World,' and its
fruits are written in the sighs and teats of its
crushed minium'. It his been tried there sut
ficiently long to satisfy the moat theistical
that the condition of the new States will be
greatly
,improved if you will secure and
guard the settlers forever , against a systein of
land monopoly in the public domain. By ,
securing the lands to the actual settler, you , .
will . not only confer such a blessing upon the "
new States, but will'add in the most substan
tial manner to the greatness and glory-of the
Republic. By the Constitution, Congress is
made a trustee of these landa t to administer
them f h 'tbe was that will best promote the
general welfare. Hole can this,bn done 'in
any better way than by placing upon,thent
actual settlers, who, by the cultivation cThthe
soil, will develop . its resources and s conyett
the haunts of savage life into a home for civ
ilized man, and ' make the wilderness bloom
and blossom as the rose?" By the present
land system the settler is obliged to go far .
distant into the wilderness, or to pay.,to the
speculator, who has purchesed trom the Gov,.
ernment the more desirable locations, four
dr five dollars" per acre in advance upon the
Government price of the public lands. What.
is the injury thus inflicted upon the labor of
the country and the deVelopement of its great
interests' - _Under and by what. i,uthority of
your existing laws do you permit to - be ab
stracted from its hard earnings four, fire,Shr i.
or eight dollars, per acre, to be paid into the
pocket of the speculator . and ' non-resident
land holder, to be squandered -too often in
reckless and prodigal extravagancal . '.
Under the existing system, the actual set.
tier gets his land-in comparatively few, cases
at Government price; but that is not the
greatest evil he, has to ,encounter. 'By the
lands being fiela 'by non-residents, the actual
Settlers are of necessity thrown further apart,,
thus making it more difficult to , tome schools
and churches, -and to surround their homes
with all the adjuncts of a nobler ; and better
civilization. I t Let the land system be so fixed
that the actual settlers can' take from the
Goverhment these lands as a hoinestead,.hy,
paying the expenses of the land lattice, or at
the Governmeet price as preemptors, and
they are secured thereby in: the means of
making compact settlements, opening and
constrectiog sou bile roads, and building school
houses, and churches, and even railroads, and
of supplying , all the wants of a thriving peo
ple and, growing civilization; and you will
require no giants of alternate sections to open
the wilderness. Four or five dollars per
acre woald amount. to 'the sum of-eighty or a
hundred thousand dollars in eachtownship
that you take from the settler, tinder the
_eration of existing laws, and pay over to to
specelator. And this legislation you call
just. Jt is of such legislation that the settler
complains. Why , not leave this large
amount Of his earnings in his own hands with
which be may open th'e avenues of trode, sur
round his home with comfort, and rear ,his
'Children honored and respected members of
society,?
Itt addition to tile justice of securing to the
actual settler a honostead in order thus most
effixtually to develop the material interests
of the country, it is required by, every die:
tats of hurnanity_ It you would *Avide the
race, make it wiser and better; the first and
most important step in itiadvanceMent is to
surround the fireside with comfort. It is in
vain you attempt to beckon on the weary
pilgrim of this world to a higher existence,
and arouse in hie . bosom the nobler elementi
of his nature, unless you place within his
reach the means fur satisfying his present
physical wants. I would not,. hOwever, have
the Government converted 'into an aline
house to relieve all the distresses of men. It
cannot, I grant, alleviate the manifold woes
of the race ; hut so far as it is within its con
stitutional power, I Would have. it so', sdmin

In the disposition of the public; lands you
have It in your power to secure that objeet,
to, a great extent, by. 'awning to - the actual

ed in large quantities, to be purchased by
the, speculator, who; of course, seeks the best
loeation in the nowly-surveyecl districts, and
the actual settlers are thus, pressid still fur

enhanced price. Secure - to the actual settler
those lands nearer to civilization; and' leave.
