AT LAST ! AT LAST ! !—We are rejoiced to
know that the patient efforts and disinterest
ed loyalty of our rend friend ; J. H.
Mallon, are at last rewar4d by an appoint
ment commensurate with his deserts. He
has been commissioned as consul to Port
Mahon, island of Minorca, off the coast of.
Spain, in the Mediterranean sea—some three
thousand miles away from home. There
are sonic malignant enough to suggest that
the President, tired of the Parson's solicita
tions, gave him the position for the express
purpose of banishing him out of his sight,
but none who know that "great and good
man's" character would believe him capable
of such a cruel joke. Whatever in - I,y have
been the motive, we are gratified to know
that the Parson's eight years hard service in
the loyal cause, has finally secured a recog
nition at the hands of the powers that be.
"Half if loaf is'better thin none," and since
the Parson could neither be Gongressman,
nor Postmaster, nor Seerct Agent, he, per
haps, consoles himself with the reflection that ,
n tenth-rate consulship„at a few hundred
dollars salary, is better than nothing. Just
here, we are reminded of a story, which must
not, however, be understood as bearing any
application to the Parson's appointment:
During President Pierce's administration,
one of the Seeretarys was pestered for several
weeks by- an applicant for office. Ile 'was
willing at first to take charge of a Depart
ment Bureau. They were all, unfortunitely,
promised. Couldn't the Secretary then give
him .a clerkship? Those, too, were all sup
plied. Wasn't there a chance to be a mes
sengor ? The cabinet officer was very sorry,
but it so happened, nothing was left in that
line. The applicant was sadly disappointed.
He reflected a while and finally said, in the
accents of despair: "Well, Mr. Secretary,
since there's nothing else to be had, and I
don't like to go home without something,
wouldn't you be so obliging as to give me a
suit of your old clothes !"

A Venerable Document.
- We have received from N. W. Russell,
Esq., an old article of agreement, executed in
1796, which conveys to Russell B issell from
the Pennsylvania Population C 0., four hun
dred acres of land in Mill Creek township,
for what seems at the present time the
trifling consideration of five hundred dollars;
or at the rate of a dollar and a-quarter
per acre ! The paper hears the signature of
Capt. Bissell, the purchaser; Thames Rees,
agent of the Company, who sold the proper.
ty ; Judah Cult, his successor, acknowledging
money paid on the agreement ; and John
Brown and John W. Russell, witnesses.' Mr.
Russell writes as follows in regard to the
docnment
Editor &menet :—The ancient article of
agreement, made find dated June, 1796, for
four hundred acres of Land, taking in where
the Belle Valley Station, on the Philadelphia
& Erie Railroad now Is located, is among
the very first Land contracts made in this
county. The purchaser, Capt. Russell Bis.
sell,. was in the U. S. Service in Wayne's
Western army. After the defeat of the In
dians, in 1794, the army was discharged.
Capt. Bissell was detached with 200 men in
the spring of 1795, and sent to Presque Isle,
to make a location, build a tort, clear the
grounds adjacent, and keep the .Indians
quiet, and protect 4he surveyors and settlers.
He selected what is known as Garrison
Hill, and built the first block house and
stockade ever built by the U. S. Govern
ment at this place.
Gen. Wayne came down from Dotroit the
next year (tall of 1796,) and died there, and
was buried just outside the block house.
Coot. Bissell purchased this four hundied
acres of land, intending to becomo a resident
here, and the next three years cleared with
the soldiers some 20 or 25 acres of said land.
In 1799 he was ordered by the U. S. Gov
ernment, with his men, down the Ohio river
near where Marietta now is. He returned
here its 1805, but never resided on said land,
but lived in Hartford Co., Connecticut, and
died there.
The agent of the Population Land Com
pany, who took up all the land in the Tri
angle, except certain reservations, was Thos.
Rees, E•q., who resided in Harbor Creek, 0
miles from Erie, and died there in 1848.
Of the witnesses, John Brown, left soon
after, and removed to Ohio and died there.
The other witness, John W. Russell,. bought.
600 acres of land at 'the same date, west of
this land, a part of which has remained in
the Russell family ever since, and is still oc
cupied by them. He was a Sea Captain, and
lett his two brothers on this land; which was
afterwards transferred to them, and he again
went to sea, and died in Bristol, Rhode Is
land, in 1814. His only son afterwards in
herited part of said lands, and died on them
February 20th, 1840. His only surviving
child is now book keeper in the B. &E.
Freight office in Erie. Judah Colt was ap
pointed agent for the Population Company
in place of Thomas Rees, Esq.;'in 1708, and
held it-until his death, in 1882.
LOCAL ELECTIONS Trns FALL—The, Fif
eentli section of the new Registry bill is as
ollows
"All elections for city, ward, borough,
township and election officers shall hereaf
ter be held on the second Tuesday of Octo
ber, subject to all the provisions of the laws
regulating the election of such officers not
inconsistent with this act ; the persons elec
ted to such'offices at that time shall take
their places at the expiration of the terms of
the persons holding the Same at the time of
such election; but no election for the office
of,assessor - or assistant assessor shall be held,
under this act, until the year one thousand
eight hundred and seventy.":
According to this act, each borol'igh, ward
and township will elect its officers next fall,
in addition to.the tickets usually voted for.
In those districts which held elections in the
spring, the officers then chosen will serve
until their terms expire, when they will be
succeeded by the men elected in the fall.
What object was designed in postponing the
choice of assessors we cannot explain at
preSent. The bill will. have the effect of
making all our local offices depend upon
general political issues, and we are vastly
mistaken if it does not soon become one of
the most unpopular measures ever enacted
by a Pennsylvania Legislature, '
RELIEF FOR It Tau LADLES.—We recently
referred to an electro-magnetic engine. for
driving sewing Machines that has been in
vented
and introduced in France. We have
a note on the subject from a physician in
this vicinity. He considers that such a source
of motor power for these now indispensable
machines is imperatively demanded. There
can be no question that the employment of
the feet upon the pedals, now in use, is a
source of serious evil to many ladies, and
consequently such persons, at least, should
abstain from using the machine. The press
ing necessity for a substitute, for the pedal
ought to present sufficient inducement to the
ingenious to perfect such an agency. If the
French machine accomplishes the desired
end, it willprove of incredible value.

Ati ITEM AS IS Ali ITEM.-011C of the most
singular occurrences we have ever been
called upon to record happened on Saturday.
Valentine Eleidt was bringing a of hay
to the city. The hay was very dry and the
sun shone with great warmth. Coming to
a descending grade, the horses were allowed
to move rather fast. The hay pressed upon
the wheel, creating a friction so strong as to
kindle a fire, and, almost in an instant, the
whole loa4.wse 'in flames. .Mr. Heidi was
lucky enough to escape, but the hay and
wagon were consumed. When any of oar
exchanges can beat this local item, we shall
be glad to bear from tliem.
CEMETERY DEDICATIOR.—Trinity Ceme
tery, the new Catholic - , burying groundovill
be dedicated on Sabbath next a week, the
23d inst., with the most imposing ceremo
nies, all the congregational societies 'partici
pating. The cemetery includes about twelve
acres,Turchased of Wilson Laird, Esq., and
is situated on the Lake road, near the head
of the bay. The location is one of the finest
in-our vicinity, and it is the purpose of the
Church to render it doubly beautiful by the
adornments of art Several thousand per-
sons are expected to be present during the
dedication services.

patch office was .sold at Sheriff's on
Friday, for the sum of ; $6,070-8. A. Daven
port, Esq.,being the . purehaser on account of
the creditors. The establishment; has cost
about $33,000, and the material is now worth'
(rain 415,000 to #20,000. The debts are
largely, in excess of the assets, and those
creditors who were . unfortunate enough not
to have first liens, will have to'whistlo for
their pay. It would seem that theoflice has
been running behind for Several years, and
it - can never be Made to yield a fair profit,
while conducted on its present dimensions.
We believe it is the intention of the creditom
to:keep the concern in
_opemtion, until a
suitable- person can be,-forind to manage:or.
purchase it. , consolidating our two daily
newspaper offices; and i placing them under
proper management, it! 'would be an easy

every one to whom they, have applied his

is alreatly larger than it was deemed poisible
to raise. The programme includes a recep

OLLECTOR OP F.
Gaggin, Esq., Deputy_ Collector of Custonis
for the last eight years, has be appointed
Collector, in place of Captain Thos. Wilkins,
whose term has expired. The umlerstand
leg was that Capt. Wilkins would be reap
pointed, and, consequently, those who would
otherwise have applied for the place,
did not put in their claims. It is stated that
Mr. Gaggin was recommended by Capt.
Wilkins, the latter's age and infirmities being
assigned as a reason Ihr not wishing a remp-
Pointment. We believe Mr. Gaggin has giv
en genera) satisfaction as Deputy, and be will
be equally efficient as the head of the office.

To ENJOY LIFE'S BLESSINGS WE MUST
HAVE HEALTH.-It is 'a stubborn fact that
every human being is more or less predis
pdsed to disease, and in the Spring the ex
citing causes of disease are numerous and
active, and sickness is exceedingly prevalent.
Now, to counteract the baneful influences
which sometimes tell with fearful effect up
on our system at this period of the year, a
Certain and :agreeable remedy is furnished by
Messrs. S. B. Hartman Si . Co., of Lancas
ter and Pittsburgh, Pa. It is that noted and
efficacious invigorant tonic; Mishler's Herb
Bitters—a life giving preparation and in uni
versal use. It is the hest blood purifier now
before the public ; it -invigorates, renovates
and cleanses the life current within us; cor
rects all the irregularities of the system; im
parts fresh vigor and strength to the consti
tution, and produces perfect health and fine
spirits where now .is general debility and
nervousness. Everybody ought to use it in
tbe - Spring"and Summer, as it willbe found
a reliable protection against disease and a
promotor of happiness. myl3-2w
"Tall oaks from little acorns grow, '
,Large streams from little fountains flow."
Seven years ago the Plantation Bitters
were but little known. ,To-day there is not
a nook or corner of our Mad where they are
not found and used. The sale has -reached
the enormous 'number of Five Millions of
Bottles annually, and it is constantly
creasing. It only shows what can be done
with: a really good medicine, and a systema
tic course of making it known.' Perhaps nu
medicine in the world is so deservedly
popular as the Plantation Bitters. Go where
you will, among the rich or poor, and you
will•always find these Bitters in use. Their
merit has become an established fact, and
we cordially recommend them - in eases of
dyspepsia, loss of appetite, chills an't fever,

A. GREAT REMEDY
FOR 771 E =UK OF
TIIROAT AND LUNG DISEASES
Dr. W 1 hart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial.
It is the vital principle of the pine tree, ob
tained by a peculiar process to the distillation
of the tar, by which its highest medical proper
ties are retained.
It Is the only safeguard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the Juice of
the pinetree.
It invigorates the dlges Li ve organsa nd restores ,
the appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels
from the system the corruption which scrofula
breeds on the lungs.
It dissol ves the mums or phlegm which stops
the air passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving painandsubduing
inflammation.
It is the result of years of study and experi
ment, and it b offered to the afflicted, with the
positive assurance of its power to cure the fol
lowing diseases, if the patient has not too long
delayed a resort to the means of cure:—
Consumption of the Lungs Cough, Sore
Throat and. Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint,
,Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping
Cough, Diptheria, etc.
We are often asked why are not other reme
dies in the market for consumption, coughs.
colds and other pulmonary affections 'equal to
Dr. L. Q. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, We
answer
-Ist. It cures, not by stopping cough, but by
loosening and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
and bronchial tubes, causing irritation and
cough.
2d. Most throat and lung remedies are com
posed of anodynes, which allay the cough for a
while, but by their constringing effects, the fi
bres become hardened, and the unhealthy fluids
coagulute and ate retained in the system,caus •
ing diseases beyond the control of cur most cm
inentphysicians.
3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with Its assist
ants, are preferable, because they remove tile
• cause of irritation of the mucus membrane and
bronchial tubes, assist the lungs'to act and
throw off the unhealthy secretions, and purify
the blood, thus scientifically making the cure
perfect. -
Dr. Wishart has on tile at his office hundreds
and thousands of Certificates from men and
women of unquestionable character who Were
once hopelessly given up to dte, hut through
the Providence of God were completely restored
to health by the Pine Tree Tar Cordial. A Phy
sician in attendance who can he consulted In

Schenck's Puhuonic Syrup,
s;JEAWEED TONIC and 51ANDItARE PILLS
t.j will cure Consumption, Liver Comp',tint
and Dyspepsia, If taken according todirections.
They are all three to he taken at ti e same time.
They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver, and
put it to work ; then the appetite becomes gots];
the loot digests and makes good blood ; t..eplr
t lent begins to grow in flesh; the diseased mat
ter ripens in the lungs,, and the patient out•
grous the disease andgets well. This is theonly
way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Pr. J. IT. Schenck,
of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in
the treatment of pulmonary consumption. 1 he
Pulmonle Syrup ripens the morbid mutter in
the hinge, nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter - is
ripe, a slight cough will throw it off, and the
patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup mid- the
food will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely,lind the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
PIIIS can do; nothing has ever been invented
except calomel (a deadly poison which is very
dangerous to use unless with great care), that
w 111 unlock the gall-bladder and start the secre-
Lions of the liver like Sehenek's
Pllla.
Liver Complaint Is one of the most prominent
causes of emsumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimu
lant and alterative, and the alkali In the Sea
weed, which thLs preparation is made of assists ,
the stomach to throw 'out the gastric juice to.
dissolve the food with the Pulmonle Syrup,and , _
It is made into good blood without fermentation
or scouring in the stomach.
The great reason wla-7,- physicians do not sure'
sonsumption Is, they fry too much ; they give
qnedicine to stop the cough, to stop night sweats,
to stop chilts, beetle fever, and by so doing they
derange the whole digestive powers, locking up
the secretions, atul eventually the patient sinks
and dies.
. . . .
Dr. Schenek, in his treat ment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Kar
move the cause, and they will ill stop'l.4 their
own occord. No one can be cured of Consump,
don, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Can-
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless Lilo liver and
stomach are made healthy. .t.
If'a person has Consumption, of course the
lungs in way are diseased, either tuber
cles, abscesses, bronchial irritation, pleura ad- 'I
hesion, or the-lungs:we-a mass of inflammation
and fast decaying. In such cases what mustile
done? It is not only the lungs that aro wasting '
but it is the whole body. The stomach and liv
er have lost their power to make-blood out of
food. Now the only chancels to take Schenek's
threE mediciens, which will bring up a tone to
• the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food, it will eoMly and make good blood;
then the patient begins to gain in flesh, and aa
soon as the body - beglus to grow, the lungs
commence to heal up, and the patient gets
fleshy anti well. This Is the only way to -cure
consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only aver
complaint and dyspepsia, Schench*.s Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient with
, out the Pulmonle SYrup. Take the Mandrake
Pills freely in all billions complaints, as they
are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weights 231
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton,
in the very last stage or pulmonary consump
tion, his having pronounced his case
hopeless and abandoned him to his fate. He
was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since
his recovery many thousands similarly atTlict
ed have used Dr. itchenek's preparations with
he same remarkable success. lull directions
