Previous to 17t2, shot were made, by drop
ping lead into water, and they were invariably
flattened on one side. In that year, Mrs. Watts,
the wife of a shoemaker, who had been earn
estly thinking of some method of making the
Shot perfectly round, i j said to have dream
ed that it could be doue by dropping the lead
from a great height. She and her husband
tried it in the shaft of a coal mine with per
fect success, and took out a patent, realizing a
fortune thereby.
An Irishman who was troubled with the
tooth-ache determined to Lave the offender
extract'.'! ; but there being no dentist near, he
resolved to do tLe job himself, whereupon he
filled the excavation with powder, being afraid
to touch it o!f, he put a slow match to it, then
ran to get out of the way.

rpo THOSE WHO WANT FARMS.
X A FARM WITH I X 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 tho most superior quality
for (arming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County, Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10, 0D(i. Tho climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the host quality of Coal
and Iron. The price to buy it out is from S-l to
S20 per acre, payable iu instalments, to be located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acres
entitling to locate the same for S-'JOO, payt.bln
per month or 12 acres payable 4 per month.
Discount for every sum of Slut) and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over S-100 a discount of 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the following are presented :
P"irst The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement ha3 attained its present great prosperity.
Second It is the cei.tre of the great North West
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
tupply tho great Lake market, (according to popu
lation aud travel the greatest in the Union.) It
has fivo workable veines of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22.OU0 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Clyis.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of the land, and analysed tho coal, the iron
ore and the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth. Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Suubury and Erie Railroad
givesus 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 srjon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. The Venango Road Connects us with the
West.
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through tho property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which bus already taken place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to the man who w ants to provide himself a home
in an easy way. and make a settlement where he
can livo in prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having .been known to oc
cur io this settlement. It is not like going to tho
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollerant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is high, and where
the emigrant, niter being used to tho healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruin? his health and that of his
family. But iiere is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash market at 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
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, the payments arc such that they
can easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by tho rise which will take place in tho value of
lands By an outlay scarcely missed, a substan

fllllE NEW YORK TRIKUNE, 1S57-8.
mc irionne was r.rst issueu as i imny on
tho 10th of April, 1811. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y -ar ; its
Semi-Weekly in May. 1S45. It was tho first daily
in America to issue n double or eight-page sheet at
a low price, and it has kept at least even with the
foremost of its rivals in the rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, which the great extension
of .Railroads, and the cstarjlisnnicnt ot the lele-
graph system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded at
so low a price in any quarter of the world ; none
in America, no matter at what price issued, pays
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellec
tual labor. It employs correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe, ar.d at the most
important points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writers and reporters at homo, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Edito
rials. In that spirit. "The Tribune" has been and
will bo conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as tho ir.ere:ise of iis pa
tronage will justify tho expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old with the NcwWorld
by the magnetic wire prove succes.--ful.wc shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
ii Corresponding advantage to our leaders publish
each morning a synopsis of tho proceeding 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 at 2 a beside him
and his daily v.aper on his ti reside table, tho A-
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughout the day preced
ing; and it seems hardly possible that any who
can road, but especially olio who has children to
educate, w ill longer deny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland : though,
where mails arc infrequent, a Seuii-Weekly, or e
ven a Weekly, uiay seen sufficient.
Tho 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
isthe honoring of honest useful Work in v.hatever
sphere or capacity, ami the consequent elevation
of the Laboring class in knowledge, virtuo and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under oil its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its iiecessories, to War
save in the defense of Country and Liberty against
actual iuvasion, and to every form of Gambling.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Homo 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 aro exchang
ed and. of course, reducing the cost of their trans
far. Regarding l'illibusterisiu in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covctuus
tiess, with unqualified abhorrence as the bano of
Republics and iu their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Right3. we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of oar countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
dcvelopcment and beneficence at home, foremost
among which wo rank a Railroad through tho
heart of our territory to connect tho waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the goods of this life are not yet fairly distributed,
and that do 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 tho dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, whoso denial must sink nmtikind 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 aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that thechild trained up in
the way he should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that n true Education Religious. Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our race. Recognizing 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 jeronal advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, wo would
fain be the interpreter to eaeh 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 bine thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
eotemporary once observed that ho never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate 'The Tribune,1 nor a generous, large-soulcd.
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation
The circulation of The Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, :2.0tl(l copies; Weekly, 176.8(H)
copies; Semi-Weekly, lo.imu copies; California
and European, tjJMMI copies ; Total, 2;i0.8U0 copies.
That of tae Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to be exceeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that of the Daily falls behind that
of some of our co-temporaries. Had our hostility1
to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been
more guarded and poliiic, our Daily issues would
now be some thousands heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative ; but of our patronage gen
erally 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 tho Postmasters, some of whom embark iu it
eagerly, others under political restraint, while a
large number, wc are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
nil. Still, we have ITeen made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands j
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual iu his private capacity would have
stooped havu been relied on to justify the stoppage
of our papers w ithin reach of their subscribers and j
rightful owners, and their retention in the Post
"llico till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
them living on their self-proclaimed ability to
servo as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our expense the dis- ;
semminntioij of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, but we do not affect in
difference to it. Jn the open field of discussion,
we fear nothing; but in tho tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where tho Posmaster can in
duce many of h is quiet neighbors to take the jour
nal he rccouimcuds.we have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to loso 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 caro
that this official warfare ou our circulation be not
prosecuted without counteraction. Wo employ no
travelling agents, for wo will not consent to have
the public harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in our behalf. We strike the name of each
subscriber to our Weekly and Semi-Weekly from
our books as soon as his term has expired, for we
will Dot haunt our patrons with dun's for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur,
for papers which perhaps they never read ; wc re
ly for the renewal of our subscriptions solely on
the volunteered efforts of those who, liking our pa
per, believe its influence salutary and worthy to
be extended; and thus far our reliance has been
justified, as wo trust it may continue to be.
