We haVe already spoken of the immense
value of the agricultural productions of our
State, and of their yearly increasing value,—
These art a vast source of wealth, which we
enjoy in common with our sister States, few of
which approach us in the amount of value
produced, but it is her vast mineral wealth
which gives her a pre.emineucA3 over any
one of them• The limits of a newspaper
article pteclude the possibility of our giving
more than a general sketch of the
COALS, OliF6 N I.ltA I,:‘, he
of Penniylvania. The immense coal regions
form theimost interesting feature of the min
eral resources of our State. In quantity it is
inexhaustible, add in quality unequ died,—
Almost 1 everywhere west of the Allegh ny
Mountains, and in the Southern part of the
State to Ithe East of them, Bituminous coal is
abundant and easily mined. The bituminous
coal reOn of Pennsylvania is estimated at 21,-
000 square miles, cr 13,440,000 acres, over
which scattered. Of the amount mined
in each tear there are no data, from which even
an approximate estimate can be made, but it
is en rnious. Twenty years ago, it was esti
mated that in Pittsburgh alone the annual
consumption of coal was eight millions of
bushelss and at the present time this amount is
more than doubled. The annual export to all
points in the Mississippi Vs ley, from Pitts.
burgh to New Orleans, from the mines of
Pennsylvania is almost beyond computation,
and forms a great source of industrial occupa
tion and wealth. We are probably within the
mark, when we estimate the annual amount of
bituminous coal, mined in'Pittsburgh, at three
millions of tons, or say ninety millions of
bushel Fl. Here in Pittsburgh, we are so accus
tomed to coal, that we do not sufficiently tips
preciate its importance as an element of wealth.
Coal is the food and iron the muscle of our
vast manufacturing industry. It furnishes in
numerable workmen, with employment and
feeds and clothes millions of people at home and
ate ditance, whose active industry constitutes
the tram sources of national wealth. Pennsyl
vania coal keeps up the fires of thousands of
steam engines, which hammer, blow, grind,
pump,spin, print, navimlte the rivers, lakes
and oceans, travel the railroads, and perform
a hundred other works of industry and com
merce it keeps in operation a countless num•
her of furnaCes, rolling mills and workshops,
in different branches of arts and manufactures
The anthracite coal fields of the Eastern por
tion of the State,are equal in importance as a
basis of wealth producing industry to the bit
umintis ores of the West. It is generally classi
fied as consisting of three separ .te coal fields—
designated as tbeSauthern,Middleand Northern
coal fields. The Southern,comprising the min
ing districts of Lehigh,Schuylkill,Swatara and
Susquehanna, has immense beds of anthra
cite coal—some of them sixty feet in thickness
of the best quality, and mined with great fa
cility. The Middle coal field is composed of
several minor basins, and lies North of the
Broad Mountain, including the Beaver Mead ,
ow, Hazelton, Shamokin and Mahonoy dis
tricts. The 'product is a hard shining and
compact coal, and has not been fully dveloped
hitherto, but that great civilizes, the railroad,
is causing its hidden treasures to reach a mar
ket, and their value to become known and
appreciated. The Northern, or W i.oming, and
Lackawana field is nearly equal in extent to
the others, and contains numerous beds of
excellent coal from one to thirty feet in thicks
ness. These three great (I posits of anthra
cite coal have been calculated to contain 957
square miles, or 624,000 acres. A cubic yard
of coal when mined is estimated to contain a
ton, so that a vein but three feet thick, and an
acre in extent would yield 4,848 tons. When
the fact is considered that these beds lie one
over another to the number of ten, and some
of them are sixty feet thick, the mind is at a
loss to conceive, much less to calculate, the
vast quantity of this most valuable and use
ful material which underlays our Sate, and
no one can estimate how much it is destiried
to add to the wealth and importance of our
State. The-consumption and exportation of coal
are both annually increasing, h Ali Eastward
and Westward. It is now the general fuel in
the Atlantic cities, and must eventually become
the common fuel in all operations which require
artificial heat. The diminution of wood upon
the western waters constantly increases the
consumption of coal, and from Cincinnati to
New Orleans as well as all along the Atlantic
Seabord, Pennsylvania coal is mainly de•
pended upon for fuel. The supply is inex
haustible, and the demand as it increases
causes k new capital to embark in the bu
siness which is greatly facilitated by the Rail
road enterprises of the day. The coal mines
t. of Pennsylvania are as much greater and
surer source of wealth, and prosperity than
the gold mines of California. The one is an
actual value—the other but its representative
The industrial operations of manufactures and
trade, which depend upon the " black dia
monds" off the Keystone State, furnishes ems
ployment and support and luxuries to millions
of people. In mineral wealth, Pennsylvania
stands preeminent and unriv died a mong her
sister. States liar hills and valleys teem with
au inexhaustable source of wealth and pros,.
perity, and daily the efforts of productive use
fulness aro developing and enlarging all those
elements of prosperity which form a sure basis,
an I permanent employment for the interests
of the agriculturalist, the manufacturer and
the commercial man.
The iron ores of Pennsylvania are eaten , .
sively liflnsed throughout the State, and the
quality which is annually mined and smelted
in the State may be ascertained with tolerable
accuracy. Marble, Salt, Limestone and a va
riety of other minerals are produced. Iron is
the great staple of Pennsylvania, and ranks in
importance with coal. Oar own soil produces
the one which is wrought into value by the in
dustry of our own people Its production
and manufacture are :,t) much additional wealth
gained to the State, but the production and
manufacture are so indissolubly connected,
we shall endeavor to give an idea of the iron
interest in a future article under the head o
'manufactures.

VARIOUS THINGS
—Su f r ae the arttfloi.ll division is concerned
A 11.,,rnoritto Gtpsey Story
A try is afloat, that some gossip has been
occasioned in Cumberland county, Pa , by the
Yillowing circumstances:
Mr. George Fry, of Shippensburg, married a
gipsey girl, belonging to a gang who were haunt
ing the neighbourhood, about three years ago.
The gipsey girl's father was so enraged at this
that he kidnapped her, and sent her to parts un
known. Mr. Fry mourned her loss two years,
and then married again. But, says the Ship
pensburg News : Last week Mr. Fry's first wife
—his gipsey wife—in company with " George
Fry the second," arrived in this place in search
of him ! B the assistance of Officer Shade, she
was successful in finding him
Limited space forbids us from entering into
details. at the time, of the excruciating suffering
Mrs Fry has undergone since her departure
from this place. The intelligence of her hus
band's second marriage was a severe shock to
her, but she emphatically declares her exclusive
right to him. It appears, by the way, that Mr.
Fry's stoond wife was " a widow," that her hus
hand went to California some years ago, and,
soon after his arrival there, it was rumored that
he was murdered. A few weeks glee a letter
was received from him by her, we have been in
formed, in which he states that he will return in
the next steamer, &c. What the finale of this
romance will be is beyond the power of hu
man ken.
Animals and Men
The lean, ill-fed SQVir and rabbit, rear, it bee
long been known, a greatly more numerous pro
Remy than the same animals when cared for and
fat; and every horse and cattle breeder knows
that to over feed his ails proves a sure mode
of rendering them sterile. The sheep, if tolera
hle well pattured, brings forth only a single
lamb at a birth ; hot if half starved and lean, the
chalices are that it may bring forth two or three.
And Bo it is, also, with the greatly higher human
race. Place them in circumstances of degrada
tion and hardships so extreme as almost to threat -
en their existence as individuals, and they in
crease, as if in behalf of the sp , cies, with a rap
idity without precedent in circumstances of
greater comfort. The aristocratic falnilies of a
country are continually running out, and it re
quires frequent creations to keep up the [louse
of L.irds; whereas our poorer people seem in
creasing in more than arithmetical rate. In
Sylre, though fully two-thirds of the populaton
emigrated early in the latter half of the last cen
tury, a single generation had scarce passed, ere
the gap was completely fined ; and miserable
Ireland, as it existed ere the famine. would hay..
been of itself sufficient, had the human family
no other breeding place, to people in a few ag,s
the world. —The lore Hugh Miller's Schools and

HoW A TILUANT HUSBAND WAS FOUND.—The
Bloomington (Ill) Pantograph tells a good story
of one of its citizens, who sought after a servant
girl, and found one in the person of nis deserted
wife :—" On Saturday the 22d inst , Mrs. Mary
E. Rich, agent of the " Woman's Protective
Emigration Society," arrived at the Western
Depot from New York, in charge of between
seventy or eighty young women , some twenty
five or thirty, of whom were intended for this
place. Early iu the morning, a married man
of this ckty went to the depot and inquired for
Mrs Rich. The married man found Mrs. Rich,
The married man told Mrs. Rich he wanted a
girl to do housework. Mrs. Rich asked the
married man who he was. The married man
satisfied Mrs. Rich that he was all right, and
that the servant girl would be well treated in his
family Mrs. Rich then asked the married man
to walk into the room where the young women
were. - The married man walked into the room
Mrs. Rich told the young ladies that the marrit d
man wanted a girl to do housework, One of the
young ladies then walked up to the married
man and said : " I'll go with this gentleman ;
I've lived with him before ; he's my husband!"
Somebody was very much astonished when the
young lady found her husband, and another
somebody looked very pale when the married
man found hie first wife.,
New PATENTS.—We take the following from
the list of Patents issued from the United States
Patent Office, for the week ending February 23,
1858, each bearing that date :
Jacob Coover. of Chambers' urg.—For im
provement in spring-bed bottoms.
J. H. Hall, of Kittanning,Pa.—For substitute
for infant diapers.
W. 0 Hick )ck, of Harrisburg —For improve
ment in straw cutters.
Seymour Rogers, of Pittsburgh.—For im
provement in railroad car wheels.
David B. Rogers, of Pittsburgh.—For im
provement in railroad car springs.
Leander Shearer, of Dancannon, Pa.—For
improvement in whitewash-brush blocks.
Thomas H. and Daniel T. Willson, of Har
risburg.—For improvement in straw cutters.
Benjamin Teasel, of Allentown, Pa.—For im
provement in harvesters.
John Holtman, jr., of Philadelphia, assignor
to John Hartman sr., of same place.—For im
provement in the construction and arrangement
of the weighing mechanism applied to the carts
of coal dealers and others.
A desperate fight occurred in the States
prison on Saturday last, between a white and a
negro convict, in the progress of which the
negro was literary chopped into pieces with a
broad axe.
It strikes us a broad axe is rather a pecnq
liar article of hardware to be permitted inside
a jail. _ _

ANOTHER °NEAT CURE EFFECTED BY BIMILHAVE'S
HOLLAND BITTERS.—The wife of Pieter De Witte,
living in Holland Town, Sheboygan county, Wiscon
ein, suffered much from Weakness o. the Stomach
and Indigestion. She had been under a physician's
care f.r some time, but the disease seemed to baffle
oven his skid. She purchased some HOLLAND
BITTERS at our office, which has given tone to her
dtutnach ; her appetite and strength are returning,
and we firmly believe that this Is another great cure
effected by your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures
effected by this remedy, but must wait another op

HARRISBURG, March 4.—Tho Democratic State
Convention mot in the hall of the House of Repro
sentatives this morning, at 10S o'clock, and was called
to order by Mr. Buckalow, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee.
Victor E. Piolett, of Brallford, was elected tem.
porary Chairman, and C. J. Rhodos, of Lancaster,
and Benj. Grunt, of Erie, Secretaries.
A number of contested seats were passed over for
the present.
Mr. Hopkins, of Washington, moved the appoint
merit of a committee of ono from eaoh Sanatoria
District, by the President, to select permanent °Eft
L. C. Cussiday, of Philadelphia, moved as on
amendment that the Convention proceed to elect a
President, viva roes, and the delegates from the Sen•
atorial Districts choose one Vice President each.
The Chair put the question, when a number of
delegates called for the yeas and nays. The Chair
decided that it was impossible to call them, as they
had no alphabetical list. Tao call was insisted open,
and the Chairman insisted on his decision and pat
the vote, which decided that the amendment was lost
and the original resolu ion was carried. Great con
fusion and excitement prevailed, and finally the Chair
yielded and withdrew the decision, and ordered the
yeas and nays. Order being restored, the vote was
taken and the amendment lost—yeas 50, nays 138. A
rgolution was then ad( peed that the representatives
and Senatorial Delegates of the several districts .
choose one member as a Committee on permanent
officers, each delegation having chosen William
Laughlin, Lewis C. Cassiday, George Williams, A
G. llollu3an, Wm. Wheeler, John A. Martin, Edward

T. Mitchell, kiwis Laylor, James E. M'Farland,
James L. Gillis, E. E. Garvin, Timothy Ives. After
a decision on one of the Philadelphia contested seats,
the Convention adjourned till afternoon.
John L. Dawson was electad permanent President ,
He made a lengthy speech, in which, after referring
to the duties to be performed and complimenting the
administration of Mr. Packer, he urged tho propriety
of giving some decided expression of sentiment on
Kansas. He reviewed the affairs connected therewith
and argued that the Lecompton Constitution was le.
gaily formed and is a legal instrument. If it em
bodies only the views of the minority the fault was
with the n ajority in not attending to the elections,
and . ought to be ratified by Congress and admitted.
The party would sustain no permanent injury by en- i
dorsing the course of the National Administration
it was a party of principle, which would wan h
steadily on to success. His speech was frequently
greeted by applause. A committee on resolutions
was appointed.
A motion that all resoluthms regarding the policy
of the party be referred to the committee without
debate, was adopted.
Mr. Wright moved that no nomination be made
until a platform was adopted. This gave rise to a
spirited debate. The reason was asked for this
movement . , and the precedent of the Cincinnati Con.
tion given in reply. The President of the Conven
tion we , charged with packing the committee, all of
which are Lecompton men. The President replicd
that if such were the race it was accidental. A me
tisdn'was made to add four additional members.
Mr. Wright's motion finally prevailed, and the
motion for the addition of four members to the com
mittee woe negatived by a vote of 47 against 82.
A motion to increase the number of the committee
to 33 was also negatived, after debate ; by a vote of
20 against 102.
The Convention then adjourned till evening
EVENING SESSION.
The Committee not being able to report, the Con
vention adjourned till morning.
Mr. Stuart reported adversely on the bill amendie
the ant of Mardi 3d, 1853, granting bounty lands t
certain soldiers, etc.
Mr. Hammond coLtended that the Lecompton Con
siltation embodied the will of the people of Hansa:•,
for the Convention wits an assemblage of the people
in their highest capacity. Ho said that he had un
derstood that tl'e Senator from Illinois had declared
that ha had opposed the Lecompton Constitution only
on one point, namely: because he was not satisfied
that it embodied the will of the people.
Mr. Douglas replied that that was not exactly b
position. He thought there were other irregularitic
but he would waive them if he could be assured tio
the Constitution embodied the will of the people.
Mr. Hamra and had understood that. Mr. Douglas
maintained that all the other irregularities could be
cured by Congress, and that was some ground uf dif
ference between them; but the question is, how can
the will of the people of Kansas be ascertained? He
thought that Mr. Douglas was in error in saying that
the Lecompton Constitution was the creature of the
Territorial Legislature, and he thought that from
that error had probably arisen all his subsequent er
rors upon that subject. How was it possible that the
Convention could be the creature of the Territorial
Legislature? The Convention was an assemblage of
the people in their highest sovereign capacity, about
to perform the highest possible act of sovereignty;
the Territorial Legislature was a mere provisional
government—a petty corporation appointed and paid
by Congress, without a particle of sovereign power,
and therefore could not interfere with sovereignty,
although that sovereignty was still inchoate. Con
gress could not interfere with a convention, and could
not confer upon the Legislature power to interfere
with it, for Congress is not sovereign ; it has no
power to act outside of the:limitations of the Constitu
tion; no right to carry into effect the supreme will
of any people, if it has not been expressed in that
Constitution ; therefore Congress is not sovereign ;
nor does it hold the sovereignty of Kansas—that
sovereignty that resides in thirty-one sovereign
States. He then proceeded to argue that the Le
compton Constitution was a legal instrument even if
it embodied but the will of a minority of the people
of Kansas. He closed by saying that if the South
was obliged to surrender the government after sixty
years, thy would surrender it with a country abun
dant in prosperity, incalculable in strength, and the
wonder and admiration of the world.
Mr. Doolittle alluded to throats made in a certain
quarter that unless Kansas be admitted under the
Lecompton Constitution, the Union will be dissolved.
Did he believe that such a great national calamity
could follow or was at all likely, he confessed that
the consideration would be entithled to great weight.
He did not believe that all the politicians in Wash:
ir.gton could dissolve the Union. Referring to boasts
made that if Fremont had been elected, he would
never have been inaugurated, he said that the Re
publicans would stand by the Union whoever was
elected President. He then passed a glowing eulogy
on the Union.

Mr. Humphrey Marshal suggested that the matter
be postponed mouth.
Mr. Burnett objected to the postponement, and said
it was duo to Mr. Burns and the 'Lawler implicated,
that ho sh, uld have t hearing now, as the charge was
baseleseand contemntible, and was intended to injure
the Democratic pang, as well as Mr. Burns.
Mr. Hoard said be had I,wice disclaimed personal
hostility.
Mr. Burns scut up a written statement, charging
Hoard with intending to mace a false and slanderous
record against him, and that he will hereafter treat
Hoard and his slang with the contempt they merit
in the estimltion of all honorable men. He further
denied collusion with the President or Cabinet as to
his vote. Nothing .; the hind occurred, directly or
indirectly. .
Mr. Hoard again diselaiuml party spirit or any
'utention to wound the leehogs of any man. When
he int. oduced his proposition he did not suppose
there would be any opo,sition. Ile contemied that
it was a legitimate subject of inquiry ; that common
;.ire was tlUtliChint to gross I the investigation ; it is
the common rumor that the executive is now en
deavoring to control the se;lim of the House as be
has heretofore endeavored: it was common rumor
that led to the investigation in Wolcott's case; in
moving for an inquiry he was not in pursuit of a
victim, but of an offender. Mr. Hoard said he was
informed that Mr. Morris had twice endeavored to
get the floor to make some affirmation of the truth
of the statement which Mr. Burns denied relative to
his vote on a reference of the Lecompton Message to
the Committee on Territories. Messrs. Smith and
Morris, of Illinois, both informed him, Mr. Hoard,
that Mr. Burns was previously relied on as anti-
Lecompton.
Mr. Blair reps ited a conversation held with Mr.
Morris, corroborating Mr. Hoard's statement.
Mr. Nichols said that when common fame was pro-
seated as a general ground of investigation, it was
beneath toe dignity of the House to entertain the
subject. The allegation again-d his colleague was
false; ho never expected, as was charged, an appoint
ment to the Marshalship of Ohio. The members all
know without investigatir u that power and patronage
had been brought to hear in favor of administration
measures. This had been the practice of all admin.
istrations.
Mr. Giddings asked Mi. Nichols to make an ox
ception in favor of John Quincy Adams, who once
deciared on this floor that while President he never
but on one occasion as.ted for en appointment ; that
was for a Deputy Postmaster, in whose favor he
wrote a note to Mr. M'Loan, who declared the appli
cant to be unfit, and there the matter ended.
Mr. Nichols replied that there wore honorable ex
ceptions. As to Mr. Burns' vote, no member had
stated on his own responsibility any reason or motive
for a change. Ho moved to lay the subjeet on the
table, including the resolution of Mr. Burns, which
Mr. Hoa..ti had accepted as a substitute. Thi., sub
stitute provided for the appointment of a committee
to inquire whether there was any collusi n between
Mr. Burns and the President, or whether any im
proper attempts had been made, directty or indi
rectly, to influence the action of any member of the
House on any measure on which the House has acted,
or has under consideration, with power to send for
persons or papers.
The subject was tabled by a vote of 92 against 80.
Mr. Quitman called up his volunteerbill. He was
opposed to a permanent increase of the standing army.
He believed that volunteers were better adapted to
the present emergency, combatting, the charge that
volunteers - are inferior to regulars. He contended
that the former are governed by higher considera
tions than the latter. Ho also referred with pride
to the thousands of thousands who at the first sound
of the bugle offered their services in the Mexican
war. He mentioned the fact that volunteers do not
desert, while four thousand of the regular army de
serted in one year.
Pending its consideration, the House adjourned.
From Washing! on.
WASHINGTON CITY, M.trch 4.—Senator Clark in
tends moving an amendment to the Kansas bill, ad
mitting it as a State on condition that the power to
amend tho Constitution be expressly reserved to the
people whenever they see proper, and that neither its
admission with the Lecompton Constitution or the
Constitution itself shall be so construed or have force
to revive or re-enact, after the admission, any lacy or
regulation repealed by the. Territorial Legislature
before the passage of this sot, without the re•onact
of the State Legislature of Kansas after its admis
sion.
- -
Contrary to the position assumed by Gen. Shields
and other prominent gent omem the Senate Commit
tee on the Judiciary have completed a report con
cluding with the resolution that Minnesota is not a
State in the Union. This denies to Mr. Shields the
right which he claims to be admitted to a seat in the
Senate.
Meeting of the Kansas Investigating
WASHINGTON CITY, March 4.—The Kansas Inves
tigating C,mmittec met last night, all the member ,
being present. General Calhoun sent in a statement
relative to Kansas affairs, but it was decided that it
should not be considered as evidence. Mr. Stephens
read a report expressive of the views of the majority,
setting forth, among others, that as authority Was
legally conferred on the delegates to the Convention
to frame a Constitution. those who had an opportu
nity, but declined to vote, aro debarred from finding
fault with the action of the Convention. The report

Burning of a New Steamboat.
Ngw ALBANY, March 4.—The steamer R. J. Lock
wood, a new steamboat, just finished, commanded by
Capt. Lamothe, while rounding out from our wharf
on an excursion trip to the wood yard, took fire in
the watchman's room or cook house and was all in
flames in a short time. About sixty or seventy five
ladies and gentlemen were on board. The pilot, a
manly, brave fellow, stood at his wheel and succeed
ed in running her into the Kentucky shore, where
every person jumped off in safety. Some jumped from
the hurricane deck. The boat ewuc g around and float
ed down the Kentucky shore two or three thousand
yards and sunk. It was a fearful sight. We under
stand that there was no insurance on the boat, which
is.rt total loss. Tho passengers will all return to
night, as the ferryboats have to bring them back.
The suspense is great.

APLANE'S. VERHIFUGE IN TEXAS.—Hear what
the Proprietor of the "Star Hotel" has to say of the won .r
-ful effects of M'Lane's Fel nafuge :
" STAR HOTEL;' CENTREVILLE, Texas, Aug 22d, 1854
MUSTS. Flaming Bros :—I WI it my duty to make the fol
lowing statement: Several of my children have been un
well for the last week or two. I called at the " BIG laloaTan.'
to get some Oil of IVormseed end other truck, to give them
for worms. The Pruggist recommended IPLaties Vernufw,
prepared by yen, bnt having heretofore, tried every Vermi
fuge, in my knowing, without advantage, I told h m it was
not worth while, a 9 1113 children appeared proof against them
all. He said to take a bottle, ana offered if it done no good
to refund the money. To satisfy him I done so, and the ef
fect was so much better than expected that I got another
bottle, and the result was roost astonishing. Three of my
children discharged a great number of the largest worms I
over saw. To a young man, my _Vail Carrier, who was
weak, puuy and poor as a snake, for a month or so, I gave
two doses, which brought from him at least a pint of what
is called stomach worms! Strange as this may appear, yet
It is as " true as preaching.' How the boy stood it, so long
as he did, with ten thosand "BOT 8" gnawing at h:a stem
ach, is the greatert wonder to me. All these cases are now
doing well. No doubt the lives of thousands of children
have been saved by the timely use of this exeraordinery
medicine. Don't fail to give it a trial.

Mot the Farmer Says:
A late wtiter says that the various species of vermin are
multi,lying at a fearful rate throughout the land. Their
ravages have become a math r of vrions dread." A Yost
master to lllinois,-writing to "Costar's" Depot, says: The
country is literally overrun with them, (rats, mice, ac.")
.they, from the same same State, says: "The rats posi
tively gnaw the halters off toy horses while in the stable."
ca rreepoudeut remarks: "They (the rats) aro eve
rywhere—in the lions., the barn, and under every
stump in the field." In the South it is still worse. A
lute order from the Nave Yard at Mobile was for thirty
pound.] of the Hat Exterminator alone

complete and perfect exterminators. Wherever "Costar's"
Exterminators have been us-d, they have never failed to
pet form rill that is claimed for them. Housekeepers should
not foil to try them.—New York Atlas, May 17th.
" Costar's" Rat,
pestilent
&c„ Exterminator is an infallibk
destroser of these pestilent creatut es. His Bed Bug rxter
minator is valued beyond measure by every housewife wh.
has had occasion to use it. So is his Electric Powder, whict
is certain death to Musquitoes, Cloths, Flies, Fleas, and vet
min of every sort.—lndianapo is (fr.(l.) Sentinel.

THE CHEMICAL OLIVE ERASIVE
SOAP, manufactured by B. C. & J. il. Sawyer, re
receives the preference over all other kinds ever offeri.d fur
family use.
Its advantages over other Feaps are It fa cl caper
to use, one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2d. Half the time need only bo occupied in washing
when this Soap IS used in place of other Soap. IL Labor
in washing can bo nearly d spensed with, as the clothes
will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear
on the wash-board. 4th. toiling the clothes is unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or ealt. water answers
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Machinists, Paititera
and others, find it far superior to other Soaps. It apt etlily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers• ink and dirt front the
hands, leaving the skin soft, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the time of
the wash.boisd, the following directions should be followed :
Per the washing of eight or ten of a family, take One
pound of Soap, cut it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about ten gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved
Soap, and stir ttearoughly. Let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, cold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or sears, or grease
sp , ts, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwi3O the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
