"YOU, ROLL OVER,"
oa,saxjoK, &. v -
."Well, boys, said BeoBriggs, one cold
winter evening, as he with three or four other
persons, including myself, were sitting around
the snag little, old laabioned stove, in Dr.
Baldwin's store, "shall I tell jou of the joko
ttoat Sam Jones, Jr., played off on his father,
when they resided in Central New York.
We all of one accord pressed him to tell
the story.
"Well, (well was a favorite word with Ben)
you know the old man, (we did'nt know him)
was one- of the laziest mortals that ever trod
shoe leather, and he was always about, "half
seas over," as they call it when a fellow.Is a
little tight. But the way he snored when
asleep was a caution to peace-makers. Soon
after dark he would go to bed, lie on his back
and Bnore loud enough to wake the seven
sleepers. In the course of two or three hours
Ills better half would also retire, and her first
move when once in bed would be to stop the
eld gcntelman's noise, which she easily did
by simply uttering three magical words, viz:
Ton roll over." (Mrs. Jones always address
ed her husband by name as Foa.) lie would
then roll over unconsciously, and sloop the
remainder of the night quietly.
"Well young Sam and myself were young
lads then, and full of the old Nick ; in fact,
young Sam was a chip of the old block. Well,
as I was saying, the old gentleman took it
into his bead one day to go a hunting and he
Invited his son and myself to aceompany him
which invitation we gladly accepted. Hav
ing provided everything for the hunt, not for-
gsitiug a jug of the needful, which the old
roan insisted was his sharo of the baggage
and to which wo gladly assented, we soon star
ted off, and after a wearisome tramp, we ar
rived about noon at a little clearing, where
stvodalog house the residence of Mrs. Tolly
Craw, a carpet-weaver (she was familiary
called Craw.) Entering the house we soon
xuadeVaown our wants, and she seon set about
tretting some dinner. While this was in prep
aration, old Sam. being much fatigued with
Ms tramnj Uy down on the floor, and straight
way fell asleep and commenced snoring lustily
Mother Craw found it necessary to go down
la the cellar after some pork for dinner, and
the only way Into the cellar was trough a trap
door in the kitchen floor, and very near where
the old gentleman was lying asleep. At this
timo I knew nothing of the method Mrs.
Jones took to stop her husband's snoring,
but I soon learned. His son Sam soon whis
pered to me to say "yon, roll over," and of
course I saidyou, roll over ;" the words were
scarcely out of my mouth when over rolled
tbe'unconscions sleeper, through the trap-door
Into the cellar, plump on the head of poor
Id Muther Craw, who was at that nnfortnuate
moment ascending the cellar stairs with the
pork for our dinner. The falling weight
which was over two hundred, caused the un
fortunate wouita to descend in a manner that
threatened to break something in truth she
yUlded to the falling budy without the least
resistance. The moment I saw in what direc
tion the old gentleman was going I sprang to
his rescue, but it was too late to prevent the
cataaucpho which inevitably followed. At
this exciting moment yenng Sam went out,
and was not seen again for two days. With
the ho!p of her husband, who now came in,
we soon liberated Mother Craw from the body
ot the insensible Jones. Fortunately old Sam
had left something in the jng, which soon ena
bled us to resusciate the two unfortunates."
If, after this, any one wanted to excite old
Sam, they had but to say, "you roll over."
IaaaocLA Vubs. A little Frenchman
who bad been taking irregular lessons, on a
voyage, from a fellow passenger, complained
much of the difficulties of our grammer.
"For Intnce," says he, ze verb to go.' Did
na ever seo such verb ?" And with the ut
most gravity he read from a sheet of paper :
"1 go."
"Thou depsrtest."
"lie cleared out."
"We cut stick."
'Ye or yon made tracks."
"They absquatulate'
Jf on Dien 1 Mon- Dien ! what Irregular
rerbs yeu have in yeur language."
A DisrcTK Question. An old toper, after
Indulging quite freely in his accustomed bev
erage, amused himself in teasing a mettlesome
horse. The animal not fancying bis familiar
ities, suddenly reared, and the disciple of Bac
chus found himself sprawling in an adjacent
mod puddle. Gathering himself up as com
po9ily a, his situation would allow, he shout
ed to his son who was standing by : "John did
yon see me kick that 'ere hess 1" "Why no
dad the boss kicked you!" "Reckon not
John. One or tother of us got badly hoisted.
Taint me, John, for Fm here !
Qrrra Taxi. An exchange says, that the
"more violent declaimers against" mixing pol
itics with religion, "are men with eurses upon
their lips, tobacco jnice upon their shirt bos
oms, and their whole manhood so steeped in
drugged alcohol, that poor whiskey could be
squeezed out of their hair." They may, bow
ever, be credited with a certain sort of consis
tency in keeping themselves entirely clear of
all imputation of mixing religion with their
politics. Still they might allow a man who
baa religion, to be nided by its principles,
without being attacked by ribaldry and slander.
The New Tcrk Day Book says that one of
t":e Central America passengers arrived, with
ry closely trimmed hair, which he stated he
-'5pp?i cffhimsclf, before the vessel went
down, to save being grappled by the drowning
crowd.
A loafer having been fined several weeks in

X 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 now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County. Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10, COO. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague 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
$20 per acre, payable in instalments, to be located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acres
entitling to locate the same for S300, payabln S6
per month or 12J acres payable S4 per mouth.
Discount for every sum of 5100 and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over S100 a discount ol 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 this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Second It is the centre of the great North West
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 vcincs of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22.000 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Clias.
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
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. Tho Sunbury and Erie Ruih-oad
givesns a market for onr coal 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 Erio to
wards our land in the western direction, the means
for tho completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitta
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the
West.
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various otbor roads have
been oponcd to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which has already taken place.
There is no opportunity cqnal 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 cno of fever ever having been known to oc
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to tbe
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollurant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is high, and where
the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pai n. and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. But here 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. Tbe lum
ber trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will etill become more valuable as a
number of iron works and manufactories will soon
be started ; they are atpresent starting them ex
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, tbe payments are such that they
can easily buy 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 substan
tial provision can bo made

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1857-8.
The Tribune was fint issued as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1841. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y;ar; its
Semi-Weekly in May. 1845. It was the first daily
in America to issue a 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 establishment of the Tele
graph system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded at
so low a price in any quarter of tho 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; and at the most
important points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writers and reporters at home, 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 be conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as tbe increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old with the NcwWorld
by the magnetic- wire prove successfnl.wc shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a corresponding advantago to our readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceeding days
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 fircsido table, the A
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
tho 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 read, but especially one who has children to
educate, will longcrdony himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland ; though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or c
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 maukind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
isthe honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
sphere or capacity, and the consequent elevation
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 Gambling.
Desiring to sco 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 Fillibusterism in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covetons
ness, with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of
Republics and in their triumph the grave of Equal
Humua Rights, we seek by cvory means to woo
and win tho attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
developement and bcncnccnce at nonie, ioremost
among which we rank a Railroad through the
heart of our territory to connect the waters of the
Atlantio with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the goods of this life are not yet fairly dijlributcd,
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 be has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, 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 bo
other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it
bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punisbmeut that the child trained up in
the way ho should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for the thorny paiiis of Vice and
Crime that a'truo 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 tho most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out. we have charity for all forms of evil bat those
which seek personnl 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 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 ba.te thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary once observed that ho never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate 'The Tribune,- 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. 32.000 copies; Weekly. 170.800
copies; Semi-Weekly, 16.000 copies; California
and European, 0,000 copies; Total, 230,800 copies.
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to bo execcded by no other newspaper published
in tho world; that of the Daily falls behind that
of some of our cotcmporarics. Had our hostility
to Human S'lvcry and the Liquor Traffic been
more guarded and politic, 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 rcasun, no wish, to complain.
Of lato, m 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
largo number, we 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 withiu reach of their subscribers and
rightful owners, and their retention in the Post
Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
havo been schooled by rival journals several of
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 tho dis
semmination of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, bui. we do not affect in
difference to it. In the opeu field of discussion,
we fear nothing; but In the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where tho Posuiastcr can in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to take tho jour
nal he recommeud8,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. Ws employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
tbe public harrasscd 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 not haunt our patrons with duns for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur,
for papers which perhaps they never read ; wo 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 we trust it may continue to be.
