Bechham & Long. The senior partner, Joseph F. Beckliam,has had a long experience in the Bale of agricultural implements in the firm of Beckham &Xeefer, and Mr. Long has been engaged in selling reapers and mow. ers for years. Beth gentlemen know the wants of farmers and are prepared to sup. ply them. They will be found energetic, upright and courteous and 'we can coin, mend them knowingly. Their stock embraces everything usually found in such an establishment, and hay. tag no special interest in any machine their recommendation may be relied upon. They sell the Buckeye Mower and Reaper, Miller's Iron Harvester, Wood's Mower, and the Cayuga Chief Iron Mowing Machine. Also Russell's Thresher and Separator, Grain Drill and Wheel Oulti, vator, Straw and Fodder Cutters, horse rakes, cider mills, dog powers, self•adjust. lag horse pitchforks or hay elevators, corn diallers, automatic churns, &o. Their stock of the ordinary farming implements L large and well selected, and they have an infinite variety of choice garden and farm seeds. In a short time they will have a full supply of seed of the Chinese Sugar cane, now in great demand. In deed, nothing that the farmer requires is wanting here, and always furnished at a fair price. They are also agents for Beck. stone & Ammon's nursery, and will sup. ply customers at proprietors' prices. The stand of Messrs. Beckham & Long Is the best in the city for thar business, being near the market and the hotels at which farmers stop. As it is now the only establishment of the kind in the two cities' it must do a large business. MANUFACTURING Icz.—The prospect of a short supply of ice this season has put dealers and others to the exercise of their will to meet the exig.ncy. A lumber dealer informed us yesterday that he had sold boards to a gentleman who intended making his own ice. His plan is to build a watertight compartment sixteen feet square, exposed to the air, flooding the bot tom halt an inch deep, and when that is frozen by the atmosphere flooding and freezing alternately until a sufficient van. tity is obtained. We presume boards will be placed at intervals of eight to twelve inches as the freezing process goes on, to separate the ice into cakes of that thick. zees. Such weather as yesterday would make ice rapidly in this way, of excellent quality. Dessasisvi Accraswr.—On Saturday evening as a young man named Rodebaugh aad a young lady residing in the vicinity, whose name we did not ascertain, were passing through the deep cut near Rode. baugh's station on the Pennsylvania Rail. road, they heard the express train West approaching and climbed up the e.nbank ment to let the train pass. The young lady had scarcely reached the top when she lost her footing and fell back upon the track; the train came up just at the mo ment and, although it was stopped imme diately, all the cars passed over her and she was literally out to pieces. The accident was a most distressing one, particularly to young R7debangh, who witnessed her death, bat could do nothing to save her. HONOR To THE DEAD —We noticed the flag of the Crustom House at half mast yesterday, out of respect to Captain Kan shall Ford, who was killed by the explo. sion on board the gunboat "Rises" while storming Fort Henry on the Tennessee river. 0 iptain Ford was among the first to over his services as pilot to the expedi. tion fitting out at Cairo and this sorrow ful testimonial to his patriotism and death on the eve of a great victory reflects the highest honor on the sympathetic feelings of Captain Batchelor. The flats of the steamers were also at half mast in honor of his memory. HOUGH OF Rssuos Its.FORT.—We have received the eighth annual report of the Board of Managers of the House of Refuge. By it we learn that the expenses of the institution In 1861 were $28,190 04. The Board ask $2,000 more from the Legisla• ture than last year—no provision having been made for salaries during the last quarter, On the 24th December there were 206 inmates of the house, 148 boys and 88 girls; 82 boys and 82 girls were re- ceived in 1861 and 61 boys and 19 girls discharged. Paor. A. O'LaaaT.—This gentleman has been remarkably successful in his lecture course in this oity.

The lecture tonight will be on Physiognomy, or the means of reach ing character from the face, hair, eyes, walk, talk, gesture, &0., &c. It has been pronounced by the press everywhere as the most amusing and speculative lecture of the whole course. Go early if you wish a good seat. INITANTICIDEL—Some boys playing on the bank of the Allegheny river near the outlet lock of the (anal, in the First Ward, Allegheny, yesterday morning, found the dead body of an infant, envelop ed in some female under clothing and tied up in a sack, with a brick attached, to sink ft, An investigation by the Coroner only developed the fact that it was taken by three Germans, last week, out of a sink at the Pearl Mill, which they were clean ing, They first supposed it to be a bundle of veks, but found it was a child before they depoeited the load on the river bank. They said nothing about it to the authori% ties, feeling no interest in the matter. As no females are employed about the mill no clue to the parentage of the ohild was discovered. Pm Dolmans Rzw.aeo.—Was lost in or about the Eastern Railroad Depot on 3daYs: Feb. 10th, 1862, five tickets to Cincinwtti, and one ticket to Indianapolis.

The nation is in conflict with treason and rebellion and may be threatened by foreign foes.

Mr, Se ger had frankly stated to the committee that besides at Hampton the polls could not be opened in the other precincts of the congressional districts for the reason that they were in the possession of the rebel forces The committee says there was not a lull compliance with the Virginia elects tion code.
