XtJUted "by autborit j" that a newts
kion is about to be introduced by the ladies of
Buffalo no less in fact than an immense calash
which Is to bo attached to the waists of the
deir creatures, to be raised and lowered at
pleasure, like the top of a buggy. Buffalo pa
pers frantically ask "what next?"
J
Tough, madam totigh didyoa say?" said
the Irascible boarder to the landlady, as he was
trying to carre what was ostensibly a chicken
"Yes'm ; and were I to give my opinion
on the fowl, I should say it was old enough
to hare scratched up the seeds of original sin
when they were first planted.
The SU Paul Daily Timet needs to bo look
ed to. It tells of an Irishman in that city
who was engaged at a drain, and had bis
pick -axe raised in the air just as the town
clock struck 12, when, determined to do no
more work, he let go the pick and left it hang
ing there.
As this is the .gc of conventions and fast
youths, it is m UrstooC that the boys intend
to hold aconTvtioa to revise the ten com
mandment, particularly the fifth, which is
to be amended thus i "Parents obey your chil
dren."
Mrs. Mullooey writes from Cork to her sister
In this country, that her cousin Bridget died
In June last. "She ate Indy meal," she says,
till she got the "Cornelia Morgus," which car
ried her off in less time than you'd snuff out a
candle.
An Irishman, in great fright and haste.rush
d into Dr. Abernethy's office, and exclaimed :
"Be dad, the boy Tim has swallowed a rat !"
"Then, bedad," said the doctor, "tell the
boy Tim to swallow a cat !"
An elderly Pennsylvania woman with
daughter, looking at the marble statute of
Girard in the college building, the other day,
startled the bystanders by saying, "La, Sally,
how white he was !"
A Touso la.pt who was recommended to ex
ercise for the benefit of her health, replied, "I
will jump at an offer of marriage, and run my
own risk, if that kind of exercise will do you,

mo those who want farms.
A A FARM WITHIN THE REACH OF
EVERY MAN.
THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
rangements by which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil of the most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is bow pouring.
The property is located in Elk County, Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10,000. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible nlacrue of tho west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the best quality of Coal
and Iron. The price to buy it out is from S3 to
920 per acre, payable in instalments, to oe located
at the time of purchasing, or a shsreof 25 acres
entitling to locate the same for S300, payabln 6
per month or 12i acres payable 54 per month
Discount for every sura of S100 and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over S100 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the following are presented:
First The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which thisct
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Second It is the centre of the great North A est
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market, according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in the Union.) It
has five workable veincs of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in tho aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 2.0U0 tous of coal under each acre
This will make the land of inestimable value
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of the land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore and the limestone. This report together with
mnps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market forourcoal to the Lakes it runs
from Erie to Philadelphia. A largo part of this
road has been finished, and is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards our land in the western direction, the means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished, the Allegheny valley nan
road connects us with New lork, Boston and 1'ittS'
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the
v est.
There arc already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which has already taken place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to the man who wants to provide himself a home
in an easy way, and make a settlement where he
can live in prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having been known to ooi
car in this settlement. It is not like going to the
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intolterant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is highHand where
the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness ana
pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. Bat here is a thriving settlement haying
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash markebt hand. The lum
ber trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories will soon
be started : they are at present starting them ex
tensivcly at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, the payments are such that they
ean easily bay a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by the rise which will take place in the value of
lands By an outlay scarcely missed, a subs tan
tial provision ean be made
Persons should make early application, apply or

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1S57-8.
The Tribune was first issued, as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1841. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y;ar; its
So.ni-Waolrlv in Mav. 184o. It was the nrst daily
in America to issue a aouoie or eigm-page uec i
. inv nriA and it has keDt at least even with the
foremost of ;ts rivals in the rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, wnicu iu cwmiv
of Railroads, and the establishment of the Tele-
in Arnprien no matter at wti at price
annul imiiniiL weekly or monthly, for intellee
tual Tabor. It employs correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most
important points on this continent, with a" liberal
staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding
fnll. rlv and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation tnereot as ine cniei uu
rials. In that spirit, "The Tribune" has been and
will be conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense Should the cur
rent attempt to connect tne uia wiin ib new urm
by the magnetic wire prove successful,wc shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a correspond in ir advantage to our readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceeding day's
occurrences throughout Europe, Northern Africa
and Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects
of hither Europe. With a good atlas beside him
and his daily paper on his nresiae taoie, me --v-
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilised world throughout the day preced
ing : and it seems hardly possible that any who
can read, but especially one who has children to
educate, will longeraeny nimseit me pleasure ana
nrofit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland ; though.
where mails are mtrequcni, a cemi- ceaiy, or s
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune deals with questions of Political
Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual, Moral,
Social and Physical well be.ng of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
is the honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
sphere or capacity, ana tne consequent eievuuon
of the Laboring class in knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in the defense of Country and Liberty against
actual invasion, and to every form of Uamblmg.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating
Tariff a Policy which tends to increase the price
of Grain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance a-
cross which their respective products are exchang
ed and, of course, reducing the cost of their trans
far. Regarding Fillibustcrism in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covctous-
ness, with unqualified abhorrence as me Dane oi
Republics and in'their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
developement and oenencence at noine, loreinost
among which we ran: a ivaiiroaa mrougn me
heart ot our territory to connect me waters oi me
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the troods of this life are not yet fairly diitributed.
and that no one ready to work should ever famish
in unwilling idleness, it lends an open ear to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which does
not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has tairly produced or nonesiiy ac
fiuired. whose denial must sink mankind into the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be
other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it
bears alolt the great trutn inai i revemion is oci
ter than Punishment that thechild trained up in
the way ho should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that a'true Education Religious, Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual id the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our race. Recoguizing in the most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out, wc have charity for all forms of evil but those
which seek pcrional advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee or no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter impulses and aspirations, the harbinger of
general concord between Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions haAe thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary onco observed that he never knew a
bard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate 'The Tribune,' nor a generous, large-souled.
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. e ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation
The circulation of The Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, 32,000 copies; Weekly, 176,800
conies: beini-n eeklv. 15,000 copies; lamornia
and European, b.twu copies : lotai. zju.buv copies
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to bo cxeeeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that f the Daily falls behind that
ol some of our coteinporarics. llad our nostiiity
to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been
more cuarded and politic, onr Daily issues would
now be some thousands heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative; but of our patronage gen
erallv we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort, has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the influence
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraint, while a
larire number, wc are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all. Still, we have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capacity would have
stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage
of our papers within reach ot their subscribers aua
rightful owners, and their retention in the Post-
Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several or
them living on their self-proclaimed ability to
serve as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our expense the dis
semmination of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, bnt we do not anect in
difference to it. In the open field of discussion,
we fear nothing; bat in the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Fosmaster can in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to take the jour
nal he recommends, we have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor
and Free Soil throughout the land to take care
that this official warfare on our circulation be not
prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
the public harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in oar behalf. We strike the name of each
subscriber to onr Weekly and Semi-Weekly from
our books as soon as bis term has expired, for we
will not haunt our patrons with dans for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur.
for papers which perhaps they never read ; we re
ly for the renewal of onr subscriptions solely on
the volunteered efforts of those who, liking onr pa
per, believe its influence salutary and worthy to
ne extended: and thus far our reliance baa been
justified, as we trust it may continue to be.
