NOTICE
Or Ihosc who arc abowt to build
or repass.
! Tho umdersigned respectfully informs the
public that he is duly authorised to sell the
Iiijrln of the JohnKon Re-acting Water wheel,
to The counties of Monroe and Pike, patented
the 22d day of June, A. D. 1840.
The Johnson re-acting wheel is the best now
in use to propel a saw mill; il excels any other
wheel in the United States under a low water
head; under a head from 5 to 7 feet is suffi
cient' to cut from 2 to 3000 feet in twelve hours
of inch or any other boards with ease. The
wheels require, under a 7 fool head, 140 inches
of water and so in proportion to any other head.
Under a 7 foot head, the Saw will make from
200 to 250 strokes per minute. Tho advan
tage which those wheels have over any other
wheels is, that it requires but four posts to make
the floont or bulk head; the wheels are hung on
the crank shaft. Two wheels are what is re
quired for a Saw mill, and the posts planked in
side the same as a pen stock. I have buih one
of those mills this season, on the Roaring
Brook, in Luzerne county, for Mr. S. P. Tem
plin, under about a 7 foot head, which will cut
from 3 to 4000 in twelve hours of inch boards;
therefore, 1 can recommend them as the best
wheels now in operation. There are several
more mills in that part, all under low heads,
which answers the same purpose as that of Mr.
Tcmplins. For further information, please call
on the subscriber.

MISS MARIA LOVEWELL'S ANSWER TO THE SEV
EN GENTLEMEN WANTING WIVES.
To M. R. M. II. Sir:
I see your advertisement in relation to the
seven young Gentlemen, who are in want of
umvis T nin a votinp adv in wani oi a nus-
band. With this avowal, I am of course a pro
per candidate! At the beginning, I bog leave
to state, that mv friends say 1 am handsome; as
In Inmnpr llmt is vet tO tTV: but all VOUtlff la-
dies are pood-temnercd till married. I am on
lv a vouno ladv of 18. and have seen but little
of the world any futiher than school, parents
and a few impudent puppies, who occasionally
call upon me to invite mo to a wajk, io tne Hie
atre, or as they think it more agreeable to go to
church. But as I am m want ol a liusuand, i
will reply to all your men, as 1 suppose they
are all candidates.
No. 1 Is too genla!; has loo large a salary
for so young a man as il will be apt to make
him eiddy and foolish. Jlo is ton lily con
nected 1 should be afraid, to unite myself with
one so much my superior, who am of but hum
ble pretensions, to such respectability of per
son and family. 1 wonder, whether his mother
knows what a fool he is making of himself, in
lowering himself down so low as to advertise
himself in a common newspaper. Such great
ness and respectability ought not to stoop so
low nor be sold so cheap. Besides I have been
taught at school and also by my mother, that
real respectability is not derived from our pa
rents, it is tho reward of real merit and person
al worth. You will see I am something of a
politician and a republican.
No. 2 Is a gentleman altogether loo hand
some, handsome men like handsome women,
are generally vain think too much of them
selves attract loo much atteniion from our sex
create jealousy in their wives besides his
fortune would make me feel too dependent, and
his habils might be more retiring than I should
like, as most rich men are very parsimonious
in their calculations and stingy with their wives.
With him I might live a beggar in affluence,
and a slave in a palace.
No. 3 Is of all men the most objectionable.
These men aro not distinguished in any coun
try or age for moral virtue. They are seldom
at home with their wives, and their children aro
generally left to the care of the unfortunate
mother, to weep over an unprotected offspring
and absent father. will not have him.
No. 4. 5 Are Drv Goods men. Men of
i j
moderate fortune, and are dependent upon cred
it. The whole history of the race as far as
New-York is concerned, if I am rightly inform
ed, is that of bankrupts, and as far as my little
knowledge extends, thev are generally men of
Utile education and less information, and spend
their whole lives in making nothing; except a
few old fashioned silks, remnants of calicoes,
protested notes, bad debts, and unpaid creditors
fsTo. 6 Is entirely too dependent, nas. no
thing but prospects before him like myself, that
may never be realized. If I should marry him,
we might both die in anticipation of unfounded
hopes and blasted expectations.
No. 7 Is the only man worth attention.
From reputation he is a man of some learning,
providing his moral habits rtre as good as his
learning ought to make him, and his person if
not handsome, yet not disagreeable, would be
tal-uho gentleman for a husband.
iiul there are
other qualifications necessary to please me
He
must have a good unuorstanuing, a quia
ppre-
hensiorf, a sound judgment, a good voice, a
ready utterance, and capable of speaking at the
bar, lhe senate, and even the pulpit, wiinoui De-
mg the slave oi notes or any wnwcu t-u....
linn before him
These are my views. I want a husband, but
I suppose ladies have as much right of choice
as gentlemen. The man I want, must not he
disagreeable in person, use no tooacco or suun,
drink no rum or ardent spirits, well educated,
accustomed to good company, a lover ot nis
wife and children, if he should have any, am
bitious to improve in knowledge and usefulnessj
a keener at home, and anything Din a aanuy.
l-Ie must read his liiblej and love to go to cnurcu.
...... , i . t
These are mv views, if any of your seven
rrrfllfnfn rninft nn to this standard I need
sav no more. Yours,

TEN RULES OF LIFE.
The following rules for practical life
were 151 ven by Mr. Jefferson, in a letter
of advice to his namesake, Thomas Jef
ferson Smith," in 1817:
1. Never put oil' till to-morrow what
can he done to-day.
2. Never trouble others to do what you
can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you
have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want be
cause it is cheap.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6. We never reppnt of eating loo little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
8. llow much pain those evils cost us
which never happened.
9. Take things always by their smooth
handle.
10. When angry, always count ten be
fore you speak.
Too much Mo.vr.v. A southern editor
says he met a man lately ascending a hill,
pulling like a broken winded dray horse,
who observed to him, " Pm used up Pvc
got a long, slim hag, filled wilh dollars,
wound round and round my body, ana in
stead of being pressed for want of money,
Pm squeezed to death wilh it." This fel
low had been foolish enough to 'resume.
In a stale of 11 suspension," he would not
have been so dreadfully pressed by the
hard stuff. The best remedy in such a
case would "be to come (o Pennsylvania
and exchange his specie for 'relief notes.'
. ? .. . ........ i I. ...
They would cure his di.-e ise, or any ouiei
caused by a plethora of cash.

One of the most revolting cases of hu
man depravity, degradation, and black
heal ted selfishness which we ever heard
of, came under our notice recently from an
authentic source. The place, Cincinnati
the lime, a few weeks since the vic
tim, an old lady, about ninety five years
of age, and the principal actors her chil
dren. The love of gold and the reluc
tance to part with it, was the prime cause
of an aged lady being incarcerated in a
small room, almost in a state of nudity,
nearly starved to death, wilh nolhing but
a miserable, filthy straw bed to rest her
aged limbs upon, wilh but a scanty cover
ing, and so neglected that her body swar
med with vermin. Horrible thought !
Well and truly has the poet said, Selfish
ness, that subtle fiend,
Can and does dissever all the ties of blood,
Of faith, of friendship, of devoted love;
Arm brother against brother, and unite
The filial band in one unbroken league
Against the breast that bore & nurtured them.
The circumstances as detailed to us are
as follows they are substantially correct.
The old ladv referred to, lived in the city
of New York, possessed of sufficient pro-
1-11 ! .1
nprtv to smooth tne down-nui oi uie, ana
make her comfortable in her declining
vears.
A son. now living in this city, in good
circumstances, it is stated, squandered a
part of this sacred fund, and came to this
city with the balance, leaving his parent
to the cold chanties of strangers. After
some time a daughter of tho old lady bro't
her out to the West, wilh whom she lived
near the Little Miami river for a while;
but at last getting tired of her, she brought
her to this city, and quartered her on an
other sister, who in a short time, reflect
ing no doubt, lhat as her brother had pos
sessed himself of all the old lady's prop
erty, he ought to take care of her, and
therefore applied to him to receive her
under his roof. This he refused to do.
Determined not to be at the expense and
trouble of shielding that venerable gray
head and those feeble limbs, and of com
forling that heart broken mother who had
nourished her from her own bosom, fon
died her in her arms and watched her
slumbers in infancy and childhood, she
placed her tottering frame in a carriage,
and proceeded to her brother's house;
when, not finding the family at home, she
seated her mother on the door steps, and
i
left her in the ratn,wnere sne remained
for an hour or two. On the return of her
son she was placed in a small back room
in his house--a miserable straw bed and
covering were given to her, and then she
was locked up. The condition in which
she was found is sufficient proof of the
treatment she was subjected to. Human
ity shudders at the picture the mind is
unable to conceive and the pen inadequate
to describe the scene in all its loathsome
particulars and heart rending imaginings.
Suffice it to say, that the lady who first
accidentally heard of the circumstance,
told her husband, who immediately called
on one of the sons-in-law of the sufferer,
a local preacher orexhorter in one of the
Moihndist churches of this city, who is in
the receipt of several thousand dollars of
rent from his real estate, anu siuiuu wic
information he had received in relation to
his wife's mother, and his apprehension
that unless something was done immedi
ately she could not survive such cruel
treatment. Alas 1 he conjectured truly :
the old lady died soon after.
" Life's fitful fever over,
She sleeps well."
Peace to her spirit ! She has felt
How worse than serpent's tongue it is
To have a thankless'child."
The Christian (?) minister answered
" 1 know il all the old woman was very
old, and ought to have died years ago j
and that it was nobody's business.
Rnt our friend was not to be so easily
hnnlked : the holy precepts which he had
i mli nt l (-.mulif him fo nerscvore. He
ixr.cn rdin-'lv called on the township trus
tees, and insisted on their going to see her,
which at first they refused to do ; and it
w:is only after he had threatened io pub
lish them if they refuEed, that they con
sentcd to go,
No.
43,
tiiuauUAii- jiLjiimairaa
His wife, previously to thi?, had callrd
on the wife of her minister, and taken lief
down to view lhe scene.
After the whole matter was thus made
public, and earnest threats mad to the
relatives of the victim, by our informant,
that if they did not provide for her he
would puhli.h them to lhe world, thev'
consented to and did employ a woman to
board and wait on the aged ami helph s
invalid. They gave her some food, which
she devoured as a famished wolf wtmU
have done. They cut off' her haii , rom
ed her head, and washed and dressed her.
While the process of cleaning was goin
on, her daughter advanced, placed In't
gold spectacles upon her nose, and gave
directions to "be careful not to leave any
of the creepers "
The poor old creature was at lat madr
clean and comfortable, and removed la
theliousc of a hireling, where she after
wards died.
Our informant states further, that om?
of the regular stationed minister-; of th;
Melhodi?t church in Ihis city, was an eye
witness to the condition of the deceased,
and remarked afterwards, "that he never
had witnessed such a case of human
wretchedness, such a revolting srene it
was, he thought, without parallel in a
Christian community."
Well do most pcopioknow that, "Plato
sin with gold, the lance of justice JnlU
harmless; but when clothed in rags a pig
my draw would pierce ir."
Mow to calcli Owls.
A western paper mentions the following a
an easy method of taking owls. When you
discover one on a tree, and find that it is look
ing at you, all you have to do is to move quick
ly round the tree several times, wnen tne owl,
in the mean time, will have its attention sr
firmly fixed, that forgeting the necessitj' of
turning its body with its head it will follow
your motions with its eyes, till it wrings Us
head off.
The same paper proposes a method of tak
ing rabbits equally easy and effectual. 'Place,
(says the writer) apples in the parts where they
frequent after sprinkling them with snuff, and
when they come to smell, the sudden effort to
sneeze, which they make, never fails to break
their necks, and even in some cases has been
known to throw heads a fool beyond their tails.
The End Doubtful.
One of the followers of Mr. Miller, a coun
try farmer, who is the owner of two hundred
acres of good land in one of the Eastern States,
was accosted by a merchant, and asked if he
was as strong in tho faith as ever, that tho "final
end" was to occur in April ncxt.
"Yes," said the farmer, "every day's expe
rience convinces me that the great day is near
at hand."
"And you believe that day is the 23d of next
April?" interrogated the merchant.
"1 uo sucn are me piupuevica.
"Now. sir," said the merchant, "I have a.
proposition to make, predicted upon the belief
hat you entertain ol tne ccnian propnecies m
this event at that time, l ou have a capital
arm. one of the best in the town; it is estima
ted to bo worth $40 per acre, and of course
you will make no use of it next season; tho
. . .1 t L
spring crops cannot be put into ine grouuu De-
fore that day arrives, ana as mere can oe no
object in your laboring any longer, I will givo
you $15 per acre for the farm; you. may retain
possession till Zlst ot aprn, wnen snaii im

to-day, and the money paid over instanier.
What say you snail it oe a oargaim
"Well, I don't know, really it i tnougtu u
wouldn't be wrong," replied the farmer, 44 1
think we could make a bargain. My sons talk
of going to Illinois next spring to settle, and
they might use the money to advantage in incir
purchases there, but can't you offer a little
more?"
"No: the sum I offer is a good deal to lose,
you know, In these hard times; besides 1 run
a great risk, replied the mercnani.
"I know it,- said the farmer, "nut mere-, is no.
better farm."
"True."
"Very cheap, loo $15 per acre."'
"Very."
"Good house and out buildings.
"First rate."
"First rate fences, too."
"Fact."
"On tho wholo," said tho farmer, reflecting a
moment, "1 think I may as well keep tho old
place and rim the risk myself 1"
Tho merchant went his way, perfectly satis
fied, and the Millerite returned to his house in
deep consideration upon the piobable destruc
tion of the world in 1843.
These are first rate times for getting married.
Where two persona are made one, of course
half the expense of living is taken away.
