Last month the counties of Northampton,
Montgomery and Berks paid 'the whole of
their Slate lax for 1857 into the treasury. Of
these Northampton paid (30,000, Montgom
ery over 840,000 and Berks over $65,000. —
We like the steady German industry and
thrift which has proved itsell on many occa
sions the main pillar ol the slate. It is this
reliable and respectable element in the char l
acter of our people that alone can keep our
honest old Commor.wealih from bankrupting
herself by indulging in every wild stock
speculation, and from disgracing herself by
running into every political fanaticism that
springs from the distempered brains of Now
England men.
The German Democrats of Berks, North
ampton and Montgomery have a solidity of
character which make" thorn worth mote to
keep the state from rocking into disorder and
misrule than a dozer, of the Republican coun
ties like Bradford or Potter. The staid and
solid German character lias a hearty rever
ence for God and an honest respect for his
country. He lives by thrift, and not only by
"hook or by crook"—by honest toil and not
by dishonorable tricks—by a conscientious
devotion to duty, and not by cunning craft.
As to Yankee "smartness" in sustaining
schools take the following example from j
Bradford Last year in one district a school j
tax of ten mills oil the dollar was laid, which
yielded a trifle over one hundred dollars, and j
teas spent in unwise litigation. In another dis- i
irict the superintendent says of the school- !
•house "1 pity the children and teachers
who tneet horei A humane man provides j
, better shelter for bis sheep. Should say the
model of this house was a canal shanty, but j
it is a bad imitation.'' One district reports
ttven schools, and levies 8217 lay for their
support. Another reports ten schools, and
levies 8300 school tx. The Republican rec
ord goes on to say:—
"Wilmot township is more remarkable for
petty law-suits than excellent schools. It is
new and chiefly a lumbering district. Thir
teen mills school lax is paid by the people,
and still thu amount raised from it is not suf
ficient to keep open lour months' decent
schooling. This is hard. When will the
slate be just to these oppressed parents and
wronged children ?
"There was but one school open in Wilmot
last winter, and that was not fiot-raie. The
directors said they had not the means to pay
fair wages lor teaching, and could not get in
structors at such prices as they were able to
pay. Number seven i a lair school house
but has a bail location. Number threo is tol
erable. Found two other frames of little val
ue, anil th<ee log houses of the poorest sort."
Some of these people corpe down in win
ter to teach the "Pennsylvania Dutch." One
starts out to peddle a receipt for makiug "A
Universal everlasting soap." One goes on a
vagrant tour to preach spiritualism. A third
lectures on phreuology. A fourth goes out
to make hia "tarnal lortin" as a Homeopathic
doctor. Another sella "MAgio Oil" to the un
itiated, and the remainder cry out to Berks
Co. "come up and help us to pay our school
lax for we have sore need o! your aid just
now."
We say to tbeso men look after your "op
pressed parents and wronged children" at
home, and teach them to make honest,steady
and useful citizens before you trouble your
selves about the people of the South. It
seems there if quite enough work to do in
some of that Republican North until the
school houses shall become equal to the hou
ses of many blacks iu the South.
Popular Sovereiguty.
The last number of Jilackieood's Magazine
ha# a strong and able article upon the sub
. ject oT representation in Parliament from the
British American colonies. It wss long since
proposed to allow each of the Canada* two
members, New Brunswick two, Nova Scotia
two, New Foundland one, and Cope Breton
one; but the Tory propensities of the ministry
resisted and defeated 'lie project. Now,
however, the danger of losing these colonies
is becoming too imminent; and the old cry
of-"no taxation without representation" again
swells over the Atlantic. Judge Halliburton
has gone to England, like Franklin in 1774,
to demand the right of self government for
the British subjects of the American colonies,
and even Blackwood agrees to give them a
voice in Parliament.
This is a significant sign of the times, as :
indicating the spirit of sell-government or
popolar sovereignty even in the subjects of a
liberal monarchy. It indicates too th< even
the strong, strict government of England is
compelled to listen to the voice of ite people;
and that in this age men wilt not be ruled
by an irresponsible power three thousand
miles away.
Aid if even the least liberal of the British
statesmen begin to concede this right of self
government to distant colonists, would it not
be strange if republican America refused it
to her child re Diu Kansas 1 If tbe Canada*
wiH not be govwned bf strangers in London,
wby should cor people ol tbo territories be
- ruled by those who are as nfaoh stranger*

Giving It up.
The Montour American, the new Know
, Nothing and Republican paper of that coun
ty, feels the ground sliding out from under its
feel, and surrenders tho political battle in the
following language:—
" From present indications, there is no
prospect of defeating Packer. A triangular
fight must result in the defeat of the opposi
tion ; and in cur presont divided slate we
may as well let it go by defautr, while we
feel assured that we have the numerical
strength to succeed, if united on a single tick
el. We are not defeated by the popularity
of Gen. Packer or the prestige of the Demo
cratic parly, but we are sell-defeated and ren
jdered powerless by the imprudent zeal of ul
tra Republicans and intense Americans. The
settled conviction of our mind has ever been,
that 'united we stand, divided we fall.'"

Struck by Lightning.
On last Monday evening Sheriff Miller re- j
ceived a despatch from Mr. Maley of Pitts- :
r ton to arrest two passengers on the Packet— \
' one Mary Maley, his wife, who had eloped i
with a man named Byrant Yard. This was j
the man to be arrested. The SherifThaslen- j
1 ed to the Canal, and, along witlt Morris Van j
Buskirk. found the runaways on the Packet i
and arrested them. They had two trunks 1
. wiih them which the Sheriff secured. They !
had through tickets to Philadelphia, and no ;
doubt think the lightning played them a
scurvy trick.
THE PRESS. —We have received the first
number of Col. Forney's new Democratic .
daily—"The Press." It looks well, reads
well, and bears all over it the marks of the ;
gentleman and the scholar. It is just such a ;
paper as we would expect from Col. Forney's |
capacity and experience. The terms are for
the doily 86 a year; for the tri-weekly 83 a
! year, for the weekly as low as Si a year lo
j clubs ol 20.
| A FANDANGO. —Our town was awakened
on last Monday from its noon nap by the i
j display and pomp of a party of colored j
gemtnen and their sweethearts, on a fancy J
excursion to OrangoviHo. Several of them |
dove a span in fine style, and they had no j
j doubt a merry time at tho "ancient village." j
i sr Judge Wilmot lately in bullying style j
challenged Gen. Packer lo stump the State !
together after the fashion of the Southern j
hot bloods. For commanding ami dignified |
reasons tins plan of discussion is declined, i
but by no means discussion itself. We will j
publish the correspondence next week. j
CP The Upper Nordi Branch Extension
Canal will be opened in August. The Wilkes- !
barre Record learns from Col. Hollenbnck, 1
who has just returned from the Junction, that i
lha repairs of dams at Johnny Cake, on the
Chemung, and at llore Race on the Susque
hanna, are progressing rapidly, and will be
in a stale to fill their respective levels in a
few weeks. The great excess of water this
season has delayed the canals and interfered j
with the mines.
DEATH FROM GRIEF.— An instance of death i
from sudden grief has just occurred in this 1
city. It is that of a slavo woman, named
Mary Jane, aged about 30 years. She had |
been the nurse of an interesting infant of Mr. j
Paulus Thyson, of 7th street, which died on
Sundny morning last. As soon as the spirit j
of the little sufferer had passed away, the )
faithful nurse sunk into unconsciousness, and j.
thirty hours thereafter expired, without other |
apparent cause thar. the grief (hat bail over
powered her. She belonged to Mr. Thyson, \
and had been the nurse of all his children. — j
This is but another illustration of the fervor
of the affections that so pre-eminently char- j
acierizes the African race, especially when ,
educated under the influences of kind autf
gentle associations.— Washington Stales. \
CP The sale of lots at Port Treverton on
Saturday, the 25th, attracted quitd a large j
assemblage of personß. There were about
80 lota sola, at prices ranging from S3O lo ,
8115. These lots are 25 feet front and 150 |
deep. The best lots were uoi put up for j
sale. Mr. Bennet, of the great auction firm j
of F. W. Bennet & Co., Baltimore, was the
auctioneer on the occasion, who kept a hun- (
gry and thirsty crowd in constant good hu- j
mor. for several hours, by hia short and wit- f
ty speeches. After the sslr the refreshment* '
were served on tho tables, under the shade ;
trees. In consequence of a break ill the ca
nal a number of boatmen were present, who j
after indulging in a free feast, concluded the .
performance, on their part, in a free fight.— j

AN OLD INFIDEL. —The Ilon.J. R.Giddings j
has written a characteristic letter to the Tri- j
bune, in which he says that the "God of:
Abraham" is not his God; that he despises '
him and holds him in contempt; that he is
an idol or the deity of the slave holders, and j
they are right in worshipping him. He (Gid- '
dings) don't wotsbip nor believe in the Gocl
of (be Bible, but he has one of his own—
that is, an anti-slavery God—a nigger, we
suppose, some odious creature who winks at
pillage and theft. Seriously, though is it not
disgraceful that a widely circulated newspa
per should give currency to this old driveler's
blasphemy 1
GTIt ia said that Wilmot spends half bis j
time in Philadelphia, drinking ale and lager
beer, iu order lo eonviuoe the German* that
he's not a fanatic on the temperance ques
tion.
Lottery Specnlntlons--Tlielr Nature.
■ Since our financiers undertook to quarrel
■ with lotteries, they have given the world a
> worse thing in the shape of fancy stocks,
> which promise a great deal, and seldom ben
efit any one except the managers. Well
> 1 conducted lotteries, like the Jaspor County
r Academy, managed by Messrs. Anderson &
■ Son, at Mtcon, and Savannah, Georgia, are
! not, in our opinion, liable to any objection,
r Tho purchaser knows ho is to run the risk
I of losing his money ; but he is equally well
• aware that he tnay win largely. Their next
drawing, we understand, will take place on
• the 17th day of August inst., and should it
■ 1 come off as expected, it will be one of the
- ! greatest of its kind—the capital prizes being
i i 860,000, $20,000, $10,007, 85,000, $4,000,
: i $2,000, anil so on down to three thousand
prizes of S3O each, making in all, 3,286 pri
zes, and only 30,000 tickets issued against
them, being onoprizo lo every nine tickets.
Those wishing to purchase tickets, which
vary in price from two and a half to ten dol
i lars, had better send their orders as soon as
possible to Anderson & Son, Macon, Geor
gia, as "delays are dangerous." Their small
: j schemes arc drawn every Saturday—tickets
| from one to four dollars.
! \V*n IN THE PACIFIC. —WhiIe the eyes of
,I Europe atjd America have been directeij to
| wards the movements of Great Britain, in la
| king possession of I'erim and trying lo get
j one of the Buy Islands, they have entirely
I overlooked what is occurring in the Pacific, (
among the guano islands. The island of
i Elide, in the Pacific, a mile and a quarter
! from the coast of Lower California, was re-
I cently visited by some Americans from San
Francisco, claiming it and its guano under a
Mexican title. There wore two other parlies
claiming under other utles, and one o( these
fitted out a schooner, tailed for the island,
■ where they found the first parly in possession,
1 landed eight men with eight rifles and a pis
| 101, and took the possessors prisoners and
j seized all their properly. The island was
! then fortified, and the prisoners sent to San
i Francisco. In the latter city they entered
, a complaint against their captors, who were
| arrested. The Court has now the subject
iof jurisdiction under consideration. But it
! is supposed that no more blood will be shed.
IP The straw Bonnet business appears to
' have been overdone in Massachusetts, and
hence there are great complaints of dull times
'in the trade. In Franklin alone seven mill
i ions of straw bonnets have been manufac
tured, enough for one quarter of the heads,
great and small, old and young, in the Uni- j
I ted Slates Many people have the idea, thai j
! fashionables in our large cities control tbe
style of bonnets; in o'her words, that the
fashionable buyer, and not the manufacturer,
! decides the styles of bonnets lo be made.—
This is not so. The manufacturer controls
I this matter completely. Last fall there was
' an association of bonnel-mxkers organized
j in Massachusetts, for the purpose of making
' tho style uniform, ar.d it is said they have
entirely succeeded in their purpose.
' New Discovery of Guano. —The California
' papers contain accounts of the successful ex
ploration of the new guano island Kleile, on
the Coast of Lower California, about the own-
J ersliip of which there has recently been a law
suit ill San Francisco. A cargo of one hundred
and twenty tons was recently brought lo San
Francisco, and is said to be equal in quality
to Peruvian guano. The island was sold by
; Mexico to Atnericau citizens some time ago.
i The properly is in Americans, but the sover
eign'y of the island is in Mexico.
The Direct Trade between Europe i.nd the
'■ South. —The Hon. Wm. B. P:e6ton, of Vir
i ginla, will sail for Europe on Saturday, on
- his mission to secure the establishment of a
i line of steamers from England to the waters
lof tbe Chesapeake. It is stated that all the
railroad companies in Virginia, and some in
. Kentucky and Tennessee, have joined the
! movement, and that the parties now pledged
to the enterprise represent a capital of 850,-
, 000,000. It will probably require all that to
| lorce trade from the channels it naturally
flows into when left unrestricted.
' GONE TO THE Bow-wows!— Col. Humphrey
Marshall ir. tbe course of a political speech
at the Court House in Lonisville, Ky., on
Saturday evening, pronounced the Know
i Nothing organization dissolved, ritual, oath,
| and all. He said he claimed no man's vote
, on the ground that he had taken the oath of
' the order. He said he didn't know how many
degrees he had taken, but he knew he bad
done a good deal of hard swearing; but he
considered himself and all others released
from their oaths by the ectiou of the order.
CP" The Honduras Oceanic Railroad, it is
said, ba> been completely organized in Lon

' ny. it would appear that they are a "little I
' short" of tho amount necessary to complete j
; the road.
SUGAR.—' Tbe sugar speculation has reached
its culminating point, and prices are now on

ffltlior* LETIGK.
1 Hoi as the weather is, we have psiiemly
i waded through two columns of whal purports
, lo be a reply to certain interrogatories ad
dressed to Judge Wilmot by some of hissup
• porters who are anxious lo make him a Know
' Nothing.
: The first interrogatory reads thus :
> 1. Do yoa hold that in the election or?p
--■ pointment of all officers native born Ameri-
: cans should he preferred t
I To this he replies that "fee history of onr
t State establishes a wise and aafe policy in re
> spect to the point embraced in yonr/irsf in-
I lerrogatory." Well, then, if the history of
our Sine shows that "a wise and safe policy"
has heretofore been pursued in regard to the
appoiutmeot and election of naturalized citi
zens to office, the Know Nothing creed and
assertions on that point are alike false. Hence
"/i Wilmot a Know Nothing?" But he en
lightens us further by adding that "occasions
may arise, when an enlightened and faithful
disohaige of duty, would demand our sufira
ges fo- tho naturalized citizen, in preference
to one borq on our soil." Immortal Know
Nothings, where are you now ? Does your
creed admit that you vole for a naturalized
citizen in preference to a native born ? Now
give us a specimen of youf consistency, your
sincerity, and your honesty ! "Americans
must rule Amerita" forever!! And you,
"Americans" fh'ust permit the Republicans
to whip you into the harness and make you
vote for a man who repudiates and scorns
\ your creed ! Oh, how fallen, ye ramparf'in
tense" Americans! .
2. Are you in favor of the protection of
American labor, American rights, and Airier
f ican interests?
1 To this, your second interrogatory, I shall
I content myself with a simple affirmative an-
I swer.
I In the name of sense, who would not give
an affirmative answer! Kvery free trader in
the world will say AMEN to that. But they
could not make him say he was in favor of a
protective tariff as advocated by Clay and
Websier, and the Pennsylvania Whigs ?
To the 3d interrogatory, a rigmarole about
"purification of the ballot box," "reform in
the naturalization laws," "foreign paupers,"
&0., he sayar • —-
"It has ever been a source of just pride to
the true American, that bis country opened
an asylum for the oppressed of every land.
God forbid that we should be so ungrateful
for his blessings, as to refuse lo share them
with the honest and industrious of whatever
clime our country ; but it is an outrage upon
I our hospitality, and a violation of in ternHtion
' al law, for the Government of the Old World
I to ship cargoes of criminals and paupers on
our shores."
There is more Know Nothingism for you !
Ha! ha! ha! "Js Wilmot a Know Nothing?''
"Oh, ye Gods and little fishes,
Leather spoons and paper dishes !"
But then follows a little sulve—the 4th in
terrogatory :
4. Are you opposed lo any interference of
Church Hierarchies inji'olitics?
Tp your four iKinierrogatwy I answer: that
I am opposed to the interference of Hierarch
ies in politics. The office of a Christian
Minister is second to no other in dignity and
responsibility- I would not detract from bis
functions, or impair the respect due to his
character. I acknowledge his right, and as
teacher of other people, believe it to be his
duty, to speak openly and fearlessly against
social and political evils, destructive of public
morals and al wat with the interest and hap
piness of mankind."
Tho plain English of this answer is, that
if thy "ChristiaujMimster" preaches aboli
tiou politics, then he is right for the ministry
to engage in that occupation, but not other
wise. Bah, David, that is beneath you. You
would have scoricd such demagogueism in
your Democratiellays. You coolly assume,
too, that the Catholics are all Democrats,
and then yaß condemn them for tho mere
fact {as you asSfert) that in polities they act
together." Dare you assert, David, that such
was the {act previous to Know Nothing
times ? Dare you assert that tho Republican
party of the North assume that position ?
You dare do neither, and well you know it.
Is it singular, reader, if it be true, that the
Catholics all leave a party which opposes
and denounces them, and for the same time
act with one which refuses to mingle relig
ion with polities in any form? Bet, Mr.
Wilmot, you well know that the Quakers are
equally unanimous iu opposing tho Demo
cratic party, and hove maintained that stub
born attitude ever since the Revolution.—
Should they, therefore, be held up to public
execration? You have not the manliness
to arraign all denominations that do these
things. Why then select the catholic for
example? Tsople will see your trick as 1
plain as the Jews saw the pillar of fire.
Brit the 'latter wrmlsup in a "blaze of glo
ry." Here is the sth interrogatory :
5. Are you in favor of Free Schools for
: the education of all classes, with the Bible
j as a te*t book used therein?
I "To your fifth interrogatory I answer—
! that 1 am in favor of free schools for the ed
i ucation of all classes ; and am opposed to
' any exclusion of the Bible therefrom."
' There you are, on our own platform, just
where yon have no business to be. Why
did you not answer the question that was as
ked: are you io favor of the use of the Bible
as a Text Book in school ? You answer that
you are opposed to its "exclusion from
school"—very different subjects!" In our
connection with public schools wd have al
ways opposed the use of the Bible as a text
book, because we regarded such use as ir
reverent and irreligious,as well-as improper
for other paeons, buf have always insisted
that the sehoelp should be opened every day
by the teacheeywading a small portion of the
scripture to the pupils. Now, friend David,
we are at a loss to know whether yon en
dorse onr views or not We guess you do,
or else you would have answered the ques
tion frankly.
Now, we challenge the K. N. organs and
orators to show ue from this letter whether
Wilmot is aK.N. or not. He dare not date
his real position ON that iuue! He is a Cote
Boy candidate, figfctiqgon all sides for booty
—a freebooter politician, catching at every
thing and dodging everything, to catch votes.
If elected, he must cheat half the men that
vote for him, and will most probably cheat
all. We have given a fair, frank version of
his letter, and it is biMtch a deliberate sys
tem of double and amusing
duplicity thnt he expects to be elected, if
such a wild dream ever crossed his imagi
nation.— Clinton Democrat.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
THE inula MUTINY INC REASING.
QUEBEC, July 27.—.The Steamship North
American has arrived with Liverpool dates
lo the 15th instant, lour days later than pre
vious advices.
Advices by the overland mail announce
an claiming spread of the mutiny among
the native troops in India.
Twenty-three regiments have joined the
mutiny. They were defeated by the Gov
ernment troopa outside of Delhi, but the unity
still remained in the possession of the insur
gents.
General Anson, (he British Commander
in-chief, had died of cholera, and has been
succeeded by Sir Colin Campbell.
The news from India has caused a decline
of Consols in the London money market.—
A reduction in the rates ol discount by the
Rank of England was anticipated to take
plate on Thursday.
N The fall of Delhi was looked for hourly*
when Ihe Indian mail left.
The loss to the Bengal army in conse
quence of the mutiny was estimated at 30,-
000. It was believed Ihe crisis had passed.
The latest advices indicate a panic. The
desertion among the insurgents was acting
vigorously.
Sir Colin Campbell started at a few hours'
notice.
Advices from Calcutta to June 7ib, repre
sent that disaffection is entirely confined to
the army.
The native troops bad been diaarmed, and
most of them stationed in Punjaub.
The latest from Delhi states that the heights
around the town are in possession ol the
Government troops, who attacked and drove
the rebels within the walls, capturing twen
ty-six guns.
The Bambay and Madras armies continu
ed firmly loyal.
The steamship Erin, from Bombay, with
China mails, had been wrecked on the coast
of Ceylon on the 6th of June. Her passen
gers, mails and specie were all saved. Her
cargo, valued at a million of dollars, and the
vessel, were lost.
Fimc.—'The details of the conspiracy in
Paris, which have lately been brought to i
light, present it in a more serious form than |
| had ever been anticipated.
I It is alleged that Mazzini escaped in a
' ship carrying the American flag.
The Paris correspondent of the London j
Times says that tho recently discovered con
spiracy was more serious than any known,
considering ihe character of the conspiracy,
the extent of the ramifications and objects
proposed—which included the assassination
of the Emperor and revolution throughout
ihe whole of Southern Europe.
Tho members of the Provisional Govern
ment were already named by the conspira
tors, and the plans were nearly peifeotcd
when discovered. Lord Palmerston having
declared hostility to the Suez Canal, pro
duced considerable sensation in France.—
The Paris journals comment severely upon -
it.
Two Week* Later from California.
AItItIV A I. OK llll*: ILLINOIS.
NEW YORK, July 27.—Tho United Slates
mail steamship Illinois, from Aspinwall on
the 19th, with California dates to the sth
inst, arrived at this port at 2 o'clock this af
ternoon.
Business in San Francisco was unusually
dull, and there were several heavy failures.
The primary election of Delegates to the
Democratic Gubernatorial Convention, re
sulted in the overwhelming defeat of the
Broderiok. party.
Mr. Weller was doubtless nominated on the
first ballot.
The miners held a meeting, denonnoing
Fremont's Mariposa claim, and threatening
resistance.
The "Know-Nothings" are taking meas
ores for the re-organization of the parly in
California.
The markets of San Francisco are glutted |
with all kinds of produce. There being no 1
demand, prices were rapidly depreciating,
while money was accumulating, and rates
tending downward.
Gntlego Flour was nominal at 813. Pork
had declined fully 87 bO per bbl. for both
Mess and clear; the sales were al $32 50 a
$33 lor Mess, and $35 for clear, cash.
Holloway's Pills and Ointment. —The axe is
not more necessary in new settlements than
are these wonderful medicines, which cure
with rapidity nnd certainty all those debili
tated affections of the stomach and the bow
. els which paralyze industry in unhealthy re
gions. Passing through the absorbents into
the interior organs, this ointment acts like
a magic balsam on the inflamed and irritated
parts, while the pills, by their action on the
bloon, neutralize the elements of disease.
Caution should be used in seeing that the
1 medicine is genuine. To do this, look nar
rowly for the Water-mark, which appears
[ in every leaf of the book of directions. They
, are not genuine without the words "Hollo
way, New York and London" can be seen
' in the paper when held to the light.
'THE REV. C. S. BURNETT, while laboring as
a Missionary in Southern Asia, discovered a
simple and certain Cure for Consumption,

T. KINGS FORD & SON'S
PORK
OSWBGO STARCH,
(FOIt THE LAUNDItY.)
TTAS established a greater celebrity than
has ever been obtained by any other
Starch.
This has been the result of its marked su
periority iu quality, and its invariable uni
formity.
The miblic may be assured of the continu
ance of the h gh standard now established.
The production is over Twenty Tons daily,
and the demand hasextended throughout th
whole ol the United States, and to foreign
countries.
Working thus on a very large scale, and
under a rigid system, they are able to secure
a perfect and uniformity in the quality tnrough
out the year. This is the great.Desideratum
in Starch-making, and is realized now lor
the first time.
The very beat starch that can be made, cod
no other, is always wanted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to them by
the grocers, as soon as their customers havo
learned which is the best, and ask for it—
; otherwise they woold be likely to get that
article on which the largest profit can ba
made.
Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously for the
last 27 years, and during the whole of the
period, the starch made under his supervis
ion has been, beyond any question, the bast •
in the market. For tbe first 17 years, be bad
the charge of the works of Wm. Colgale &
Co., at which period he invented the process
of the manufacture of corn starch.
ty Ask for Kings ford's Starch, as the name
Oswego has recently been taken by another fac
tory.
T. KINGSFORD & SON'S
OSIPEGO CORN STARCH,
(For Puddings, fe ,)
Has obtained an equal celebriiy with their
Starch for the Laundry. This article is per
fectly pure, and is, in every respect, equal to
the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav
ing additional qualities which render it inval
uable for the dessert.
Potato Starch bas been extensively packed
and sold as Corn Staroh, and has given false
impressions to many, as to ibe real merits of
our Corn Starcb.
From its great delicacy and parity, if is
coming also into extensive use as a diet lor
infants and invalids.
