'Forking thr Grindstone.-—“ When I was a little boy,’’ says Dr, Franklin, “I re member one cold winter's morning I was ac costed by a smiling man with an axe on his shoulder s “My prelly boy,” said he, "has your father a grindstone 1" “Yes, sir,” said 1. “You are a fine little fellow,” said he, “will you let me grind my axe on ill” Pleased with the compliment of “fine little fellow,” “O, yes,” I answered, “it is down intheshop,’’ “And will you, my man,” said he, patting me on the head, “get a little hot* water 1” Could I refuse? I ran and soon brought a kettle full. “How old are you, and what’s your name?” continued he, without wailing for a replyl am sure you are one of the finest little fellows that I ever saw—will you just turn a few minutes for me?” Tickled at the flattery, like a 'fool I went to work, and bitterly did I rue the day. It was a new axe, and I toiled and tugged till I was almost tired to death. The school bell rung, and I could not get away : my hands were blistered, the axe was sharpened, and the man turned to me with, “Now, vou little rascal, you’ve played truant; scud for school, or you’ll rue it.” Alas! thought I, it is hard enough to turn a grindstone ibis cold day, but to be little rascal was Inn much. It sunk deep in my mind and often have 1 thought of it since. When 1 see a merchant over-polite to his customers, begging them to lake a little btands, nnd throwing his goods on the coun ter, thinks I that man has an axe to grind. When ! seea man flattering the people, making great professions of a’tachmenl to liberty, who is in private life a tyrant, me thinks look out, good people, that fellow would set you turning a grindstone. When I see a man hoisted into office by a party spirit, without a single qualification to render him respectable or useful, alas! tnelhinks, deluded people, you are doomed for a season to turn the grindstone for a booby. Wo know a beautiful little blue-eyed girl, of some three years old, who was nestled in her mother’s arms, at twilight, looking nut at the stars. “.Mother,” said she, “it is gellins dark.” “And what makes it dark, Carrie?” said her mother. “Because God shuts his e\es!” replied the little poet.

From them the medicine was borrowed by the English and Dutch physicians residing there and by tlfeir recommend, ation it was soon employed in Europe. In process of time this medicine has come 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 irrila lion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine, also incontinence of urine from want of tone in the urinary organs. It cools (he unnatural heat and relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing it has been effectual when other valuable medicines had failed to produce an effect.

Etz of Tioga Village would respectiully calllhe attention of the public to the following advertisement. “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 seems to me that in this lime of general suspension and panic, everything is tending to a reversion of time-honored sayings, and everybody wants a little more still. The farmers (and thoy really ought to have as much as anybody, for they are to our country what a main spring is to a 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 & Caps, Hardware, Crockery and ten thousand little things be has to sell than the farmer thinks he ought to pay. At this present time it seems to be concede d by all that the cash" value of good wheat is $i 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 mailer and make it satisfactory on both sides, I want and wilt agree to take from every farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get for the next 60 days at 9 and 20 shillings per bush, elaccordingto quality; buckwheat a*. 2-6 to 3; corn sto 5-6: outs 2-9 to 3 shillings; butter 16 to 19 cents. - | Will sell yon in exchange: Salt per barrel, 16s.

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend the Burning of the Iron Safety at Readings Feb . 27,1857. : j “The undersigned, members of the committee, do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes origi nally agreed upon by Farrels(& Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side byj side in a furnace, viz: The Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel phia and Reading Railroad Company, in liis office at Reading, manufactured by Parrels do Herring, and the safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans &i\yatson,and palin books and papers precisely alike., | 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 jtop wood were entirely consumed, the whole under the superintendence of the subscribers, members pfj the Committee. The Safes were then cooled offi with water, after which they were opened and the; books and papers taken out by the Committee and sent to H. A. Lantz's store for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by (the Committee. The books and papers taken fromjtbe Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were but slightly affected by the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe manufactured by Parrels Atj Herring, were in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more than those taken from Evans &. Watson's Safe. We believe the above to, have been a fair and im* partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes. JACOB H. DYSHER, Daniel s. hunter, Having been absent during the burning, we fully coincide with the above statement of the condition of the papers and books taken out of their respective Safes. G.
