I havo used Shugert's Patent Washing Machine
in my houe upwards of eight month, and do not

ful and valuable labor-saving machines ever inven
ted, I formerly kept two We 111 en continually oc
cupied in washiug, who now do as much in two
days at they then did in one week. There is no
Wear or teat in washing, and ll requires not mora
than ooo-third tbe usual quantity of aoap. I have
bad a number of other machines in my family, but
this is so decidedly superior to every thing else, and
eo little liable to get out of repair, that I would not
do without on if they should coat ten times the

We a'iand among tlie fallen leaves,
Young childrtn at our play,
And laugh to see Uie yellow things
Co rttshing on their way :
Pis;ht merrily we htlnt them down,
The autumn wind and We,
Nor pnuse to gale wliere xnow drifts lie,
Or sttnbeams Jlld the tree ;
With dancing feet we leap along,
Where withered boughs are strown,
Nor past nor future checks our song,
The present is our own.
We stand among the fallen leave
in youth's enchanted spring
When hope who wearies at the last
First spreads its eagle wing :
He treads with steps of conscious strength
lieneath the leafless trees,
And the color kindles in cur cheek,
As blows the winter breeze.
While gazing towards the cold gray sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all past by,
And the young spring come again:
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In manhood's haughty prime,
When first our paining hearts begin,
To love the olden time ;
And a we gaze, we sigh to think
How many a year hath past,
Since 'neath tbgxe cold and faded tries.
t)ur footsteps wandered last--And
old companions, now, perchance,
Kstranged, forgot, or dead,
Come round us. as those autumn leaves,
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among our fallen leaves,
In our own autumn day,
And tottring on with feeble steps,
Persvie our cheerless way
We look not baik too long ago,
Il&th all we loved been lost,
Nor forward, for we may not live
To see our new hopes crossed :
But on we go the sun's faint beam,
A feeble warmth imparts,
Chib'ihood without its joys returns,
77re prrttnt fills ur hearts.

Diirinft our last week our town haa been
thrown into a atate of excitement by the disco
very of a ekeloton, burled under a pile rd'etones
about two miles from the River, tip Ihe valley
of Bear Creek. The apot where it was found,
mti-t have been, Vhen the corpse wasdnpusi
ted there, almost inaccessahle, perhaps hever
lpfnro vicited pxce'pt by the ravage, nn occasion
al hunter, and those who were the perpetrators
of the murderous crime, which thoy thought to
conceal by depositing the evidence of their guilt,
where they supposed it would remain forever
undisturbed. Such however was not to he. For
tunny years, hunters who have passed near the
place which has been brought nearer the
haunts'fif men, by the improvcrr.ent of the I,p
high and the advancement of the Lumber trade
have remarked the singular appearance of
the heap of stones ; "It did not loolc natural !
j they were evidently placed in that 'position by
! the Iranda of men!" and a week or. two since,
i several being in company, they determined
to ascertain whether anything was benpath
j them. Thpy had not removed many of the
stones before th'ry drew forth bones evidently
human, pieces ttf cloth, apparently reen broid
i cloth and "pieces of what appeared be 'itie
j binding used in carriage trimmfag-.
When these facts became known, cunAsity
I was excited, and on Sunday last a laryu number
I of our citizens repaired to the lace, artj alter
J an examination, it was generally gfe'?d, thntn
j body, either enveloped in cloth and tied up with
j Che binding used in carriage trimming or in the
I cushions and lining of the 'carriage, had many
j years since boen de posited there. The later
i appeared to be the prevalent opinion, as several
! wooden button moulds s.tch as t5 rtsed in ni4
I king ciiFhion tufts, were found,
t The question naturally nrise, bow canie
these remains in that wild, unfrequented place,
' which when they were deposited, must have
i been abo'iit seven miles from a human habita-
Von.
In linking hack upon incidents Hint transpi
red, fifteen vears since, many of our citizens
! will recollect circumstances similar to the fol
j lowing.
In l'Ji) or HO a gentleman named Seligsnn,
who resided in Philadelphia, cume to Maiich

ik'ad. 1 1 is wife while living appeared to have
a weighty secret in her postesaioni which he
feared would be disclosed, ehe was often heard
to threaten to "scratch hi. neck for him,1' and it
ia said that on her death bed she told him that
she had caved him from the Gallows. It i. Mid
tbe remain, of. waggon, which had been burn
ed, were found in a ravine called Moor'. Swampt
through which he would have to pass, toconVey
tbe body to the place where these remains were
found. It la said also, that about the tune that
Albertson (the keeper ofthe tavern) waaarrea
ted, several of those who lived near the resi
dent of hi. daughter, were aronseJ at twelve
o'clock at night, by a stench of burning cotton,
and that a bright light was seen through the
windows o! the hotiye, and a thick smoke ari-
I sing from the chimney, it is supposed the light
and stench arose from the barning of'pnrt Of the
goodsoftbe Pedlar.
A Son in Iw of Alberfhnn, 'whose hSme is
Morrison, and who removed somewhere into the
state of New York, is also implicated in this af
fair; he was residing with Albettson at the
time, left this place nboiil that titfie, and passed
a Mr. Carey's between this place and Wilkes
llarre with a horse answering the description of
the Pedlar's, there exchanged a blind bridln for
n riding bridle, and purchased an old 'siddip.
The blind bridle w. learn was subsequently re
cognized by Mr. S. as similar to that of his bro
ther. Taking into consideration all the circumstances
attendant upon the disappearance of the I'eilliir
and the caution which lluu-e who murdered him
for there is nn doubt that ho was afisnsHtnatpd
must have used to remove every evidence of
the crime, in connection Vih Ihe appearance of
fhe rcinaiis, and the situation in 'Vhich !iey
were found, it leaves little doubt on the mind of
our citizen, that they nr'c the reiViainn of Ihe
Pedlar, anr! that whoever Were the perp'-trafors
of the murder, were men well iicquainted with
the glens and valleys of Ihe Lehigh. Who they
wore, will probably fi.rever remain a myi't'e'ry.

John l.bng, Aaron Imgand Granville Young
have this afternoon been hung ar.cordirglo law,
for murder ol'Col Geo. Davenport. Although
the morning was roiny an immense concourse
of people were seen assembling from every part
of the con try ; and tit the time of the execution,
I made An estimate, and should judge there
wore five thousand preeewt, a promiscuous as
semblage bf men, women and children.
A' 1 o'clock the guards formed in front of the
jail, when the prisoners were brought out, and
conducted In solemn procession, with music, to
the gallows. The guard formed in a hollow
square about the gallows, while the prisoners
ascended the scsflold and took their seats with
the sh'rrifr. Several other 'gentlemen also as
cended the scnfl.dd 1 ny other gentlemen,
for the prisoners appeared very like gentlemen.
They were well dressed, and up to th s time,
scarcely any emotion was Visible in their coun
tenances, lint alter Kitting awhile, a alight
paleness sr'emed to overshadow their faces as
they looked upon the crowd, and upon the ap
paratus before them.
The sheriff advanced and rend the or jer for
the execution ; ufter which he remarked that if
the pris' .'n. rs wi-hed to say anything, opportuni
ty was given. Jofin 1jng then arose,(lhe she
riff!. aving uiihond'ihe cords !n;m his arms,) and
advancing, made n very polite bow, and addres
sed 'hi! audience bh follows. 1 give 'the sub
stance of what he said, avoiding his frequent
repetitions, and correcting his langtta go, which
was sometime tiurauirr.atical, and otherwise
incorrect ;
We omit the speeches.
John Long conies-
sod that he was guilty of killing Col. Davenport,
but taid he wished those present to receive, as
the declaration of a dying man, his assertion
that h e hrotlipr Aaron and Granville Young
were innocent of that crime. Hobert Birch,
WflViani Fox, Theodore Ilrown and himself, he
said, killed DaveV.port, but did it unintentional
ly. He then called upon one EAnney to 'step
forward, but being fold llminey was not in the
crowd, he safe) it "knocked out fjOO pages ifrem
his speech." This Botmey he declared was the
chief among thieves and robbers. Aaron Long
and Granvilla Young then severally protested
tlitit they were innocent. Vhcn they had done,
John ling again made a speech, detailing some
event in In life, and called upon all to lake
warning by h".s fate. Up to IS 10, he bar never
wrorgeJ a man, but in that year he was persu
aded 'to 'engage in .nuntorfeif ing, and from that
be vris led In t"ie commission of robbery and
mnrder. A full Confession liisof acts and associ
ate he said would implicate two hundred men
in Illinois, Indians, MissCtri and the Territory,
but he withheld the coA-ssion frcin regard for
their families'.'

If a person, ten years ago, had said any thing
about fattening ftnimftls scientifically, he would
have been much ridiculed. Still, there is such
a thing as applying science to making pork ot
teef.
It is known that certain kinds of food would
make an animal fatten very fast, while other
would only keeritTiem thrifty. The antlysis of
the variousgrainhand articles of food Uk-edthow
the reason, and 'demonstrates fuliy the impot
tanceofa krtowlcclg'a of the elements it ccn
tains. To etiatile the readers of the Farmer m

corn possesses the largest amount of fat-form-ing

the best advantage. If we wish to fatten f-
give a greater proportion of corn.
But we learn another impnrfnrt f?r-. v
the fatting principle Ts in proportion to the oil
contained in tbe article fed. This we know a I-
o by experience ; fjr hogs which feed on m:ts(
j especially beach nuts, become very fat, and the
j nuts contain a larga proportion of ell. Hence.

it is said, 40 per cent of oil. By mixing and

other fjoJ, it would materially hasten the fat
