previously given, a large number ol those in

as called upon to address the meeting in ex
planation of its object. He remarked that he
was a railroad man, would do his best to ad
Vance tlys cnterprize, but was not prepared to
make a speech, and left the floor by calling
upon Judge Hale, who rose and said he would
make as short a speech as Mr. Wallace had ;
that he had addressed the last meeting hero
on the subject; that enough speeches had been
mads, and that it was now time - to work, and
not to talk. He further remarked that there
"was but a few shares of additional stock need,
nd only some six thousand dollars to secure
the charter, and he thought it would bo a great
sbanic for the people of Clearfield county, con.
eidering their great wealth, and their direct in
terest in the construction of this road, if they
weuld allow it to languish for the want of the
few shares yet required to be taken. On mo
tion, ilr.Crans and SIr.Boynton were appoint
ed a committee to solicit subscriptions, who
shortly after made report that they had ob
tained forty shares 2,000 Ai Fitch, of Jer
sey City, having led off with 30 shares. When
this result was announced, leaving but some
54,000 lacking, Messrs. Boyntoa, Graham,
Leonard, J. Patchin, G. L. Kecd, W. A. Wal
lace and A. K. Wright, set to work and imme
diately subscribed, collectively, $3,000 which
made, la all, $8,000. This happy consumma
tion gave general satisfaction to all present,
and on motion the meeting adjourned.

eat Air-Tighs S;lf-3caliaj Caas nd Jars, for
Freservi-jr Frrsh Fruits, &a. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and tho effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
Tho cans and jars arc constructed with a chan
nel around tho mouth, ncrr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely, This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only nr.CKSj.ry tt heat the
cover sltzhtly, and press it into place. It may bo
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top.. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purposo for which this is intended,
cannot be closed. asi3 well known without the aid
of a tinner; are difficult to open'and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to be useless for
future service.
By this simple contrivance, the process of her
mctical scaling is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (it properly prepared) may bo kept,
with their natural flavor unimpaired, tor an in
definite length of time. For sale by
