That should a thing be doing there? A

Oscar i. E. Stewart, who had blundered up
on "a useful agricultural machine,” treated.
Oscar J. E. Stewart coutd not stand this.—
(kar J. E. Stewart considered that he had
slight not merely to the brains, but to what,

ut petitioned tfye Senate that, if the Patent
OSce would n’bt, could not, or should not,
isjoe a patent to his ingenious “nigger,” it
night be compelled to issue the patent to him.
The petition was received, and the report
ms that it was appropriately referred. We

appropriate reference would be. Was it to
thiCommittee on Agriculture? Or to the
Committee on Claims ? Or to the Commu

Melancholy Accident,—On Wednesday
last, Dk Pettit, of Sandycreek township,
having occasion to pass through the woods
by a path, discovered a dead body, about \
n mile from his residence, which upon ex
amination proved to be that of a lad named
Geobge M’Elbee, abou' 15 years of age,
and a son of a widow woman residing in the
neighborhood. The contents of a gun, which
had doubtless been accidentally discharged,
had entered the abdomen near the umbilicus,
thus causing the death of the boy. The gun
was found about four rods from the body, the
smothered report of which had been heard
about an hour previously. The precise man
ner of the accident can never be known, it
doubtless however, was the result of the care
lessness with which many persons, especial
ly youths, are in the habit of using fire-arms.
Such accidents are of frequent occurrence,
and should admonish parents to keep fire
arms from their children. The family of the
deceased have the sympathy of the entire
community in their bereavement. —Muncy
Luminary.
An Adboit Swindler.—Last week one
of our citizens was mulct in the sum of four
hundred dollars by a sharper from the city,
who managed to sell him five shares of Penn.
Coal Company's Stock—our unsuspecting
friend believing it to be Pennsylvania Coal
Company’s Slock, and paying for it the price
at wh[ch that was quoted. The fraud was
not discovered until after the departure of the
stranger, who, however, was pursued, but
with what success we have not learned.—
Business men will do well to look out, and
examine the character of slock certificates
before they purchase. The Penn Coal Com
pany’s stock may not be quite as valuable as
that of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.—

testified, that when oil other remedies had failed, this hod
completely cured; that when tho sufferer bad well nigh des

The New York Tribune.
1858-59.
—The New York Tribune, now more than seventeen years
old, which was the first journal in the world that appeared
regularly on au imperial eight-page sheet at so low a price as
two cents, and which bos attained the unpafallelcd aggregate
of more than 200,000 subscribers, respectfully solicits Its
share of the patronage which the .Metropolitan Press is hence
forth to receive. It asks especially the patronage and active
favor of Kepoblicaws —of those who hate all forms of oppres
sion, and desire that every* rational being shall he free to em
ploy his faculties in such innocent manner as he shall deem
beat—of those who wonld extend Liberty and limit Slavetv;
but it further appeals likewise to all who look and labor for
the return of National thrift- plenty,prosperity, through the
Protection of American Industry by wisely discriminating
duties on Imports—all who favor Natlonol Progress through
Internal development and melioration rather than by exter
nal agression and extension—oil "who would rather have tho
National resources devoted to the construction of a railroad
to the Pacific than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico,
Nicaragua or Cuba—all who would retrench radically our
present Inordinate Federal expenditures by abolishing or im
mensely reducing th© Army and Navy, and expending the
money thus saved on works of beneficence which will endure
to bless our children—all who profoundly realize that “Right
eousness exalteth a nation,” and that no real advantage can
ever accrue to any person or community from acquisitions or
successes achieved by means which contravene the laws of
Federal Right. Tho free allotment of limited portious of the
Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon, and every hopeful
plan intended to diminish the sum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recompense—every
scheme especially that seems to help the unfortunate by en
abling and teaching them to help themselves—must command
our earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Whhin tho present year The Tribune has provided itself
with a new and fester press, at a cost of $30,000, merely that
some of our subscribers may receive their papers » mail ear
lier than they otherwise might do. With correspondents ut
the most important points throughout the civilized world,
and a stuff of writers chosen from among the best in the
country, we believe that even those who dislike the politics
of our sheet concede to it frankness in avowing its convic
tions and ability In maintaining them. We appeal then, to
those who believe that au increased circulation of Tue Trib
une would conduce to the political, intellectual and moral
well-being of the Republic, to aid us In effecting such in
crease. As we employ no traveling solicitors of snbMJrip
tions, we ask our present patrons in even- locality to speak
to their neighbors and friends in our behalf; we shall gladly
receive from any friend lists of those who would receive and
read a specimen copy of one of our editions, and shall bo
particularly grateful to those who may send us such names
from post-offices at which we have now no subscribers.—
Whatever additions may thus be made to our circulation
shall he paralleled by increased efforts and expenditures to
mako pur issues more valuable and useful than they have
hitherto been.
