Her Share of the Letters,
There 'iB a new town out in the Northwest
called Barton (contraction of Beartown.) At
this point, a post office has been established ;
the route extends some distance beyond, and
there are several offices further on. Soon
after the establishment of the office at Barton,
the pns'masters beyond began to be troubled
bv a strange irregularity in the mails. This
week, one thing would be missing ; the next
some other package would be non est ; and
quite often letters for B. would have to be
sent back. The stale of affairs became un
endurable : and Agent Hall was sent on to
' O .
investigate the mailer. He went straight to
Barton, where he found the post office in the
back room of a little grocery. It was about
time for the mail to arrive, and he look a
seat in the grocery, where a plump and good
nalured woman, well in years, and possessed
of a “rich brogue,” attended behind the
counter, dealing out small quantities of beer,
cakes, peanuts, etc., to a company of loun
gers, who seemed to wail for some event.
Hall bought a quantity of pea-nuts, and
ite.ted the crowd to beer, by which course
he succeeded in removing all suspicions
which his decent garb had created I against
him. Soon the stage drove up, the mail bag
was thrown out; the lady picked it up, and
retreated to the back room, followed by the
crowd —including Halt, who blocked up the
door.
After opening the bag, and turning its con
sents on the Boor, the postmistress produced
a box, and deliberately proceeded to measure
out a peck of miscellaneous matter from the
pile on' ihe floor. Having done this, she
commenced returning the rest, when Hall
found his tongue.
“Why, what are you doing there?” he
contrived lo stammer out.
“Indade,” said the postmistress, looking
up, “it’s changing the mail that I am.”
“But how do you know that you get right
matter? Why don’t you look it over and
sele ‘I your own J”
“Faith an’ it’s a fool’s job you’d be afther
havin’ me do,” replied her ladyship. “I
can’t read niver a blessed bit of riling an’
when my son Jim (he’s school. lamin’)
isn’t here, I Jest measurevut our sheer, an'
we dirides ’em.”
A Story about Lying. —Davidson Col
lege, North Carolina, contributes a good story
of a man with a very bad habit. As it is all
about lying, the reader may believe it or not,
as he likes;
“In the old North Slate lives a certain
John Long, who draws a long bow whenever
he has anything to tell, and his character for
truth and veracity has been below zero for
many years. Captain Johnson had been so
taken in by one of John's outrageous stories,
that he said to him in a pet:
“If you make me believe one of your lies
again in a month, I’ll give you fifty dollars!”
John pretended to be hurt by the offer, and
went off. A few days after be was riding by
the captain’s, post haste, on horseback, when
the captain called out to him :
“I say I hello, Johnny f stop and tell us a
lie or two this morning f’
John rode on, but cried out most dolefully:
“No lime for lying now ; brother Jimmv has
just been killed in the marine, and I’m go
ing for the old folksy-’ On he went.
Captain Johnson ordered his horse, and
rode over to see the dead man and offer his
services, bu| found him alive and well, gin
ning coltont and in no danger of the machine.
Just then, John rode up and demanded the
fifty dollars. Tne captain declared it was a
rascally trick, but he would have had lo pay
the money if John had not let him off.
Gentility is to be defined in the next edition
of the American dictionary. “Ealing meal

alien it was soon employed in Europe. In process
of time this medicine has como into general use,
and is highly spoken of by the best medical writers.
Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of
the urinary organs, such as gravel, a morbid irrita
tion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine,
also incontinence of urine from want of tone in Hie
urinary organs. It cools the unnatural heat and
relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing
it has been effectual when other valuable medicines

lost by the old process oi boiling. Hence it requires
great care and skilful management to prepare this
medicine properly.

Village would rcspecliully call the attention of the
public to the followlngadvcrliscment. M Man wan's
but little here below nor wants that little long” is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extents
But it scpmslo me that in this time of general
suspension and panic, everything is tending to a
reversion of time-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a little more still. The fanners (and they
really ought to have as much as anybody, for they
are toour country what a mainspring isloa watch,)
wants a little more for their wheat, buckwheat,rye,
corn, oats, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a
little more for his Flour, Pork, Salt, Dry Goods,
Boots & Shoes, Hals Sc Caps, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand Utile things he has to sell than
the farmer thinks he ought to pay.
At this present time it sccms-> to be conceded by
all that the cash value of good wheat is $1 per
bushel; buckwheat,' 2 to 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4-6;
oats, 2 to 2-6; butter, 14 to 16 cents. Now to
equalize the matter and make it satisfactory on both
sides, I want and will agree to lake from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 10 shillings per bush*

HERRING'S SAFE.

“On the 26th of February all the members of the committee
met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in
{hem) and were perfectly satisfied that ajl was right. The
,Uay following, the burning took place, under the superintend
ence of the Committee. After a fair,and impartial burning
for fire hours, the Safe of Messrs Evans k Watson was first
opened, the Safe being on fire Inside, and the contents par
tially consumed, while the contents, ia the Safe of Messrs
Parrels & Herring wero in good condition, and no fire inside."

ent from those they sell) to “burn up” one of Herring’s, (half
as thick) has met with its true reward.: Herring’s Safe could
not bo burnt, proving conclusively that the only reliable
Safe now mado is “Herring’s” of which over 15,000 are now
in actual use, and more than 200' have been tried by fire

27, 1857. J { a . ' ‘
“The undersigned, members of the committee, do
respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes origi
nally agreed upon fay Farrels & Herring and Evans
Sc Watson, placed side by side; in a furnace, viz:
The Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company, in his office
at Reading, manufactured by Farrels Sc Herring,
and the safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans Sc Watson, and putin books
and papers precisely alike. j
The fire was started at 8$ o’clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords
dry oak and half chestnut lop wood were entirely
consumed, the whole under the'superintendence of
the subscribers, members of; the Committee. The
Sales were then cooled off water, after which
they were opened and the books and papers taken
out by (he Committee and sent to H. A. Lantz’s
store for public examination, ailed they were first
examined and marked by |thc Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Sajfc manufactured
by Evans Sc Watson were but Slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by Farrels & Herring, were in our
judgment, damaged folly fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans Sc Watson’s Sale.
We believe the above to have been a fair and im
partial trial of tbc respective qualities of both Safes.
