On last Saturday the 12th inst., we learn that Mr. Charles Emmett one of the em ployees in this establishment was very se riously injured, being cut in the shoulder, the muscle cut off by a Roller falling off the pipes and the pipe with hot glass cut ting him. On the same day Mr. Frank Wilson also an employee had his fingers mashed by the car running over them. On the same day Mr. Reed Emmett was badly hurtby being thrown by the large monkey, or "pot car." Also on the same day, Mr. Andrew Geis ner cut his thumb badly by the cap of a roller. We are of the opinion that last Saturday must have been a very unlucky day at the Glass Works. We Sympathise with those injured and sincerely hope that it may be a long time before they suffer again or have another unlucky day. Mr. Porter the superintendent is master of his business, and a perfect gentlemen. Indeed all those employed in any capacity at the Glass Works are intelligent gentle men, and it did us good to hear them laugh at the idea of P. G. Meek constantly preach ing hard times. PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. —We : call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and present the fol lowing : REASONS IVRY YOU SHOULD INSURE Life Insurance is the only certain means by which persons,not possessed of Capital can secure their families against future want. • It is a moral duty, because it is an obli. gation on'everysperson, to expose to as few risks as possible the ,future interests of those with whom he has linked himself. It is a Religious duty, beca,use we are taught that ' 4, 11e that provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own household, hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." It is a social duty, because no one has a right to expect society to support or pros vide for those for whom he himself could, by a little self—denial, have made a certain provision. It is a duty universally practicable, inas much as the periodical payments are ex ceeding, small, compared with the amount insured. , The 9nan of moderate income finds in it the only .certain means by which he can insure to his representations the full re sults of his habitual economy. The rich man can find no better invest ment of his capital. The man who wishes to live' up to his income, can do so with a clear conscience, after he has, paid for a suitable Life Insurance. The man who has a fixed income, the larger part of which he finds necessary for the support of his family should insure, as it is the best means of making his small savings accumulate. . Creditors can protect themselves against loss by the death of the debtor. The hon est borrower can thus secure the repayment of a loan in case his trade enterprise should be terminated by death. The Minister of the Gospel should insure, because he seldom, from his small salary, can save enough to leave his family com fortable in any other way. The medical »tan ought to insure, because he is exposed to influences and accidents calculated to shorten his life; and because it is his interest to promote the practice of Life Insurance. Reader, reflect upon these things and make up your minds to call upon W. W. Brown, Agent, and have your life insured. IT is with pleasure that we allude not only to the prose Bellefonte ; but to . the prosperity of e whole country. Under B,epublican rule and its. admirable system of taxation, the people all over the loyal North prosper as they never pros pered before. Never in the history of Centre county did her farmers, mechanics and laboring men prosper as they do to day. Exorbitant prices for grain of all kinds, cattle, horses, butter, eggs, and all the products of the farm, and when did labor command such prices as at the pres ent ? No man who is willing to work need be idle. How unlike the hard times under the firee trade administration of James Buchanan? Then furnaces, forges, rol ling mills. manufacturers of every kind were all idle, and laboring men compelled to roam the country in search of work, and in thousands of instances without sue cess. Now all the furnaces, &c., of the country are In full blast and the demand for labor unequaled in the world's history. Go ask the enterprising firm of Todd & Duncan, what they think of the situation ? Ask them if they wish to return to the free trade policy of the democrat party and the consequent hard times of 1857 ? How well we know their answer. They will tell you, that times were never more prosperous with them than at present, and that they desire no change. They arc in a flourish ing condition. Have everything at their FoUndry that farmers need in that line, and so confident arc they that the Republi cans and the loyal people of the country will be continued in power, and the nun, try continue to prosper, that they are mak ing preperations to build a new Foundry, near Thomas' Mill—one of the largest in Central Pennsylvaniti. The increased de mand for their castings, plows, mill irons, &c., S:c., have compelled them to enlarge and increase their facilities. They are worthy industrious men, and must succeed if Grant a::.d Colfax are elected. They deprecate a change at this time. There is also the New Foundry Building owned by our fellow townsman Capt. Geo. A. Bayard, and the business carried on in the firm name of Bayard & Co. No signs of hard times here. The firm is composed of honest, industrious, practical men, who take pride in their busiusss, and employ none but the best of workmen. Their castings, stoves, plows and everything manufactured by them is of the very best quality, and at reasonable prices. They are doing exceedingly well and we are very much mistak en, if they desire a change! Why should any one desire a change, unless he is in search of hard times and the ruin the Watchman prates so much about? Bayard & Co., can't see it. The people can't see the point Gray. They simply laugh at you when you talk “hard times." • OUR M_EEnicus.—Not since iS6O has there been' such a blaze of enthusiasm as now prevades the Republican organiza tions of the county. The same unanimity of feeling ; the same determination to suc ceed, marks the efforts of this campaign. - The masses are thoroughly persuaded that they are again called upon .to settle the issues which agitated the public mind in 1860 and '64 ; and the earnest responses given to the call for every man to do - his duty, augur no doubtful triumph. The reports of meetings in all parts of the country, induce the conviction that the people are "wide awake" to the importance of the campaign. The numerous meetings thus far held in our own county, and which, without an exception, have been well attended, show our people to be fully alive, and solemnly in earnest. Can we, in view of these circumstances, be thought extravagant in our ideas, when we say that the political redemption of our county is among the possibilities. We can assure our readers that the probability attaching to this desirable result is so strong that it makes the "Cops" wriggle with anxiety. Our meeting at Houserville, on Satur day evening last, is for several reasons eminently deserving of notice. A very interesting feature of this meeting was a grand display of the Tanner's Club from Boalsburg and Centre Furnace; a club numberinz fifty-two members, with the cap, cape and torchlight peculiar to the organization. The Tanners appeared on horseback, under the command of Colonel McFarland, and by the readiness with which their evolutions were performed, showed that they had not forgotten their army discipline. While the Tanners were yet a mile or more distant from the place of meeting they were heard swelling the chorus of "Rally round the flag, boys." The words of the song became more and more distinct as they approached, until by their actual presence they begat an en thusiasm which seemed a sure premoni tion of triumph. As many as could find room were crowded into the building, and the meeting was organized with squire Mays in the chair, and E. H. Kinsloe act ing as Secretary, when Messrs.. Stephens and Brown, of Bellefonte, engaged in lay ing bare the rottenness of ye so-called De mocracy. Reconstruction, taxation, and the financial questions of the day were discussed in a manner that showed the speakers had given these matters the at tention due them. The meeting passed off pleasantly; was in itself considered a success, and as such should be taken as an intimation of what must follow earnest effort. aux. WM. H. ARMSTRONG IN CENTRE CO Mr. Armstrong, our candidate for Con gress, arrived at Howard on last Monday, and spoke to the citizens of Howard borough and township assembled in meet ing at the school house. It was said to have been as large as any ever held there. At least seventy-five or a hundred persons were unable to gain admittance. Quite a number of ladies were in attendance. The meeting was organized by calling Mr. Jenkins to the chair. Messrs. Johnson a nd Smith acting as vice presidents, and R. A. Kinsloe as secretary. The utmost attention was paid to the speeches de livered. A great portion of Mr. Arm strong's speech was taken up in a colloquy with Judge Allison. The Judge, in the opinion of all, was pretty badly worsted, but stood his ground better than we had anticipated. At the close of Mr. A's speech, Mr. Wm: P. Wilson, our efficient Chairman, on be half of the ladies present, presented Mr. Armstrong with a magnificent bouquet. Mr. Armstrong replied with appropriate remarks, after which 'Mr. Wilson made a short and telling speech, which was well received. The meeting adjourned by giv ing three rousing cheers for Grant, Colfax, and our whole ticket. After the adjournment of the meeting the speakers adjourned to the hotel of Mr. Alex. Knoll, where an excellent repast awaited them, and where we aided some little in paying "the national debt." Mr. Knoll, by the i'aY : ; is a good Republican, and "knows how to keep a hotel." TUE MEETDM AT BOALSBURG On our way to attend this meeting we were astonished at the signs of good times and prosperity all along the route. The new Union church erected near Mr. Gar bricks, on the Bellefonte and Boalsburg pike, struck us as the best evidence in the world that the farmers in that section were not suffering from hard times. Again, upon entering Boalsburg, (this was our first visit), we were surprised at the general appearance of the town—its thrift and enterprise. Two handsome brick churches are completed and one other,. fast approaching completion, and other buildings going up in different localities. Upon arriving, we at once repaired to the residence of Ezra D. Brisbin, Esq., where we were treated in a most kind and hospi table manner. The speakers were at the same time doing justice to the supper pre pared by George Jack, Esq. At about half-past seven, the Boalsburg Brass Band and Drum corps serenaded the speakers, and afterwards repaired to the headquarters of the Tanner's Club. In a few moments the club, numbering near one hundred, were formed in line, and after marching through the principal streets, halted in front of the speakers stand. The porch of Mr. Brisbin's house was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers by the hands of the fair ladies of Boalsburg, who, by the way, are not few in number. This porch was used as the speakers stand. The house of Samuel 11. Stover was illuminated, making a good appearance and showing that the heart of this good and honest Republican is in the the right place. The meeting was organ ized by appointing the different officers. In consequence of the illness of Mrs. Bris bin, the meeting adjourned to the porch of Geo. Jack, Esq., and after music by the band, Mr. Armstrong was loudly called. After three hearty cheers for Mr. Arm strong, he made his appearance upon the stand and entered upon the discussion of the issues of the present campaign. He explained the question of the "National Bon&s," Greenbacks, &c., to the satisfac tion of all present. Re read from the Centre Hall Reporter, the fourth resolu tion of the Democratic Platform, which declares for "Equal Taxation upon all "species of property ;" and proceeded to show the honest farmers and mechanics of Harris township, the effect it would have upon them. That under this system their farms would be taxed according to their real value. This system would compel the farmer to pa 7 $2OO in tax, when lie does not now pay more than $2O. He showed them that the Republican system exempts their farms entirely from taxation. Mr. Armstrong made a telling speech and was well received: He was followed by Gen. Beaver, who took up the subject whenre Mr. Armstrong closed, and for about twenty minutes spoke in a strong and forcible manner. He ex plained the doctrine 'of State rights, and explained fully the working of the law ; enforcing the revenue tax, and stated what articles were taxed and those exempt. After Gen. Beaver closed his remarks and retired from the stand, the audience called for Col. W. W. Brown. The Colonel stated that this was an infringement on the programing, and' declining to speak, introduced his friend John G. Love, Esq. Mr. Love spoke for an hour, delivering a neat, strong and forcible speech. • The THE NATIONAL, BELLEFONTE, PA.,° FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1868. questions of finances, taxation, the record of the Democratic party; also the past history and the glorious future of the Re publican party, constitutod the outline of his speech. His speech was attentively listened to, and we are satisfied was well received. After Mr. Love had closed his speech, the Brass Band played the "Star Spangled Banner." After which the vast audience again called out Col. Brown, who responded in a strong argumentative speech. The Col. spoke for nearly an hour. He made some good points, and closed by an appeal to the people to close up the lines and make a solid fight, not only for a national victory, but for the re demption of Centre county. The singing by the ladies in attendance, and Messrs. Evan M. Blanchard, Gen. Beaver, Love, Gray (not he of Watchnivn noteriety), and others, was highly corn• plimented, both before and after the meet ing; and at the singing in the parlor, one gentleman whose name we shall not men tion, seemed to be so entirely captivated,_ either with the music or the ladies present —so much so that as he joined in the sing ing that every muscle, every nerve, in fact, his whole soul seemed to be in motion or absorbed. At one time we were alarmed, fearing that his head might be thrown off his shoulders. On behalf of the speakers, we thank Col. Jack and his family for the entertainment received after the meeting. We forgot to mention that Messrs. Arm strong, Beaver, and others were made re cipients of very handsome bouquets. The meeting at this place was organized by calling John Daily to the Chair, and appointing Mr. Felty and several others vice presidents, and Messrs. Whippo and Dunlap, secretaries. A large crowd was in attendance. The speakers present were Gen. Beaver, A. 0. Furst, S. D. Gray, and Evan M. Blahcbard. The utmost en thusiasm prevailed throughout the entire meeting. The singing by the Glee Club was good. A large number of ladies were present. The meeting was productive of much good. On Wednesday night, according to ap pointment, Hon. W. H. Armstrong ad dressed the people of Walker township. The meeting was held in the new• and beautiful school house in Hublersburg. There was a respectable audience, and Mr. Armstrong surpassed himself and made one of the best and most telling speeches to which we have listened for years. He explained the issues of the campaign in a clear and forcible manner, and to the satis faction of every one present. • Loud calls were then made for Col. W. W. Brown, who declined speaking at the time, and introduced Mr. Love to the audi ence. • Mr. L. spoke for about one hour nd twenty minutes, explaining the acts of reconstruction, &c. He was followed by Col. Brown, who made a few practical re marks, and the meeting closed with three cheers for Grant and Colfax and the whole State and county ticket. The speakers, on their way to Hublers burg, by special invitation, stopped at Mr. James Gordon's and partook of a most ex cellent supper. Mr. Gordon and his ami able lady have the thanks of the speakers, and it is the united wish of all that they may long-live to enjoy their comfortable ome, and the wealth which is the results of their own united effort and induslry. It is a fact, which the experience of every farmer suggests to him, that there has been a falling off in the production of wheat, and that it has been gradual for the last twenty years. This crop is so important to the farmer as to make the cause of this a subject of serious inquiry. It will not do to rest satisfied that the failure is at tributable to the Hessian fly-, mildew, the midge, or any such cause; . for in our judgment these are but effects and not causes. Vermin is always the effect pro duced by a deficient quality of the soil, as certainly as it is found on the unhealthy body of a poor animal. We- must look deeper into this subject, and inquire whether the last hundred years has not served to exhaust the soil of "some one or more elements essential to raising wheat. For unless these elements of Wheat itself, foundlby analysis to be a component part of the grain, is in the soil, we can not hope to get it out. In looking through the anal yses of wheat, we do not see any thing which our ordinary cultivation does not restore, except phosphate, in the quantities of it we take away. Of all the bones of poultry, sheep, swine, cattle and horses, which are taken so continually and pro fusely from our farms, -in the ordinary course of our cultivation, they are not re stored, and it behooves us to inquire whether this is not the weak point. It is a fact, too, that a great change has occurred in the course of trade, whereby our wheat is taken away in grain instead of flour; as was the case before railroads came into operation. By this all the bran is carried away and not brought back in 'any shape. It has been observed, too, that our wheat crop seems to progress most favorably until within three weeks of harvest, promising a most abundant crop, and then it begins to fail and does not fill as it used to do, the earth, seemingly, having exhausted its power. We have much straw, but not the same proportion of grain. The harvest Just passed, strongly exemplified this. This being the defect, what is the remedy? Re store to the soil that which, in the long course of time we have been taking away— bone; and this-can only be done by the use of phosphates. The writer - used upon his farm, last year, six tons of phosphate, upon two fields of twenty acres each, upon which there was no other manure put; one of-them produced a fraction more than twenty-one bushels, and the other a frac tion more than twenty-six bushels to the acre, whilst there was not a farm adjoining that produced over seven bushels to the acre. The quantity used was three hun dred pounds to the acre, drilled in with the wheat. This requires a drill for the purpose, for the weight is too heavy to carry, and the odor excessively offensive; besides if sown broadcast the quantity should be increased. The phosphate used was manufactured by Miller & Smith, of Reading, and is almost entirely all bones, dissolved by sulphuric acid. There are many other phosphates, however, which are deemed equally efficient. Rees & Co., of Philadelphia, manufacture a phosphate, the basis of which is Pacific guano, and fish caught upon the coast, the oil pressed from them, which has no agricultural pro perties, and the muscle and bones dried and ground with the guano. Allen & Needles, of Philadelphia, also manufacture a phosphate which has character, but of its composition we know nothing. All these, however, restore bones to the land, and I which we deem essential to raising wheat upon our lands so long and extensively deprived of them. The cost of these phos phates is about fifty-five dollars a ton, and we are satisfied that their use will amply repay their cost. We have ceased to use a pound of barn yard manure upon land being prepared for wheat, choosing rather to put it upon the clover :sod, preparatory to corn. Fear not to expose your manure upon the surface, for whatever theory may suggest as to such exposure, experience teaches that its best use is in spreading it upon the surface. W SECRETARY BALD EAGLE VALLEY, Sep. 16th '6B ED. NATIONAL. - Hearing yesterday morning that the "white man's party" were to bold a meeting in the neighboring village of Mechanicsville, and being, my self intirely imprejudiced in my politics. I decided to go and perhaps return a "white man," notwithstanding the recent republican gain of ton thousand in the State of Maine, and 22,000 majority. Upon seating myself in the meeting, I first cast my eyes toward the place where I thought the orators of the evening out to be; and iclat do you think was my surprise to find there the "Great Gun" of the Democrats in this county. He looked like a "Great Gun" too, but having seen somwhat of artillery in the late war; I saw upon close examina tion that there were many flaws . ; not up on the smooth exterior, nor discernable to SECRETARY. MEET.DTG AT PINE GROVE MEETING AT 1117.BLEESBURG [CO3IMIINICATED.] AGRICULTURAL the naked eye, but flaws within the bore of the piece, which can, in ordinance in spection, only be detected by an ingenins instrument, called the "searcher," and alsolby the comparison of two atmospheres. within the bore. It struck me very forci bly, and before, he had progressed far in his "monetary" discussion • that Wm. H. Armstrong—who I had heard the night be. fore—would be peculiarly adapted to ful fill the duties of "searcher" in his particu lar case. But at the test of atmospheres we had, right there within the house— there being the required number, two pre sent; fortunately for him however they were compared of diametrically opposite elements, and so nearly equal, the one consisting of the breaths of 25 White Democrats; the other of the respirations of 30 black Republicans. Of course the effect of the one was neutralized by that of the other within the bore of the gun, and left all the veins and angles of weak ness untouched. The fuze used in this ordinance was also badly timed and the shells discharged, ex ploded before they reached the object of fire, as I noticed particularly that none of the black Republicans were struck, the appearance of their faces showing no im pression but that produced by the smell of bad powder. Mr. Orvis told us that the democratic party proposed to audit the account of the national government at the coming elec tion--pay off the five-twenty bonds (1,800,- 000,000,) in three years, and pay it in green backs without increasing the flow of cur rency upon the country a single dollar more than it is to-day—that we were to have no duties on foreign imports when they (the democrats) got into power; but failed to say where the laboring man was going to fine employment, when the manu factories of the country were paralyzed by the unlimited introduction of articles of foreign manufacture. The "white Democrats," in saying that the paying of the five-twenty portion of the national debt in greenbacks would not increase the flow of currency upon the country, ended his remarks with this mere assertion. This has led us poor thick skulls down here to suppose the great un terrified auditors of Republican accounts, must have in their possession the famous miracle—working Lamp of Aladdin of Arabian Nights notoriety, and that the man into whose care it has been intrusted is the "young Lion of the West." The following colloquy which took place immediately upon the adjournment of the meeting, will give the unfortunate who were absent, a far better idea of the goner. al character of this great speech, than I could give if I were to take a day at it. A well known Irishman to Democratic friend.—And who the devil is it he's elec tioneering for? Democratic friend.—ls it possible you don't know who he was speaking for? Irishman.—Devil the bit, and small chance it was I had of knowing when he never so much as mentioned the man's name. Mr. Boyd Henderson had the honor of opening the meeting, and in schoolboy style and an unsuccessful attempt to imitate the syle of the Great Gun (Orvis,) gave us a brief synopsis of the great slaveholdr's party from the time of its origin to the commencement of the late rebellion. Mr. J. P. Mitchell then tookup the sup port of Democratic policy from the open. ing of the rebellion until its close. He merely told us the old democratic tale that we could not have conquered the South if the South had not at last decided to be conquered in consequence of not being able to fight any longer—that the South needed no reconstruction, and wanted merely to be "left alone" just as it did in 1861. Mr. Orvis made a speciality of the "monety" issues before the people, his speech being the old worn out Democratic argument for repudiation and free trade. Yours Respectfully, INSPECTOR. WE have it from good authority that the Democratic meeting advertised to come off at Port Matilda, on Wednesday evening last, was a grand and glorious fizzle. Speakers were there in abundance, but no one for them to talk to. They adjourned without even having an organization. Hurrah for Seymour.. NEW HYDRANT.—We had the pleasure on Wednesday last, of seeing a new hydrant •invented by our old friend and fellow townsman D. I, Pruner, Esq. It is the most simple and yet the most complete hy drant we have ever seen. It can be manu factured so that the nett cost need not ex ceed $B.OO. It also answers the purpose of a fire-plug, and will do away with the almost worthless plugs now in use. It is so constructed that it can never freeze. While its adoption will work a great sav ing to the people, we hope Mr. Pruner may realize handsomely from tne inven tion. We understand that he has applied for a patent. EVERT man ought to pay his tights, if he can. Every man ought to get married if he can. Every man should do his work to suit his customer, if he can. Every wife should sometimes hold her tongue, if she can. Every lawyer should occasionally tell the truth, if he can. Every man ought to mind his own business and let other people's alone, if he can. And if you want a tooth extracted or a new and beautiful set of teeth made, be sure to call on Dr. H. H. Rothrick, upstairs in Bush's Arcade. Dr. Rothrock attends to his own business and does it well. MARRIED. Sept. 2nd 1868, Theodore MeNielde to Mrs. Strans Middarn, all of Spring Township. On the 16 inst., by Rev. U. C. Pardoc. Mr. Geo.

WORLD'S MOWER AND REAPER ! A TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS! A year ago we presented this novel Harvest er to the farming public on the merits of its construction, and with strong assurances that its equal was not to be found. To-day we are happy to . present it again, on its merits in the field, and feel safe in re-asserting its superior ity over all competitors, in Construction, Simplicity, Ease of Management, Lightness of Draft, Strength and Durability. We have abundant testimonials, from the most intelligent and influential farmers in the country, to the fact that this machine will not only cut more grass or grain, with greater ease to the. team than any other machine in use, but that no trace of wear can be detected in the working parts after a whole harvest's work. These facts triumphantly prove that Cut Gear, as applied to Harvesters, is evon a great er success than in its application to stationary machinery, and silo ice forever the selfish out cry against it. Remerrber ! Its frame is of?ulid iron and of a single piece. The journals, shafts and Gears cannot change - their relative positions. The gears are all cut out of solid iron, and sun with the precision of clock work. The case incloses all the works and protects them from sand, grass,-rain,rust, tto. It is made to last a farmer his life-time. - We build two sizes, both of which can be had as single Mowers, or Combined Machines. It mews, it reaps, it drops,- and can be used as a hand-rake as well. By attaching the cele brated "Johnson Rake," WO have made it the best Self-Raker ever of in this country. We offer you the cheapest machine in the mar ket, because it is the best and most durable. E. BALL .k CO., Canton, Ohio. rgr•So enthusiastic are intelligent farmers in their admiration of this machine, that they aro laying aside halt worn harvesters, (here tofore 'considered first class,) and buying the World.
