SHUGERT'S PATENT
WASHING MACHINE

NNHlS Machine has now been tested by more
Il than thirty families in this neghborhood and
has given entire satisfaction. II is simple in its
construction, that 1t cannot get out of order il
contains no iron to rust and springs or rollers to
get out Of repair. II will do twice much wash
ing, with less than half the and tear Of any of
the late inventions, and what is of greater inpor-
tauce il costs but little half as much other
washing machines.
The subscriber has the exclusive right for Nor
cumberland, Union, Lscoming, Columbia, Lu-
zerhe and Clinton Counties. Price of single ma
chine Sc. II. B. MASSER.
The following cetifcste is from few of those
who have these machines in use.

We, the subscribers. certify that have now
in use, in our families, "Shuger's Patent Wash
ing Machine, and DO no, he state saying that it is
most excellent invention. That, in Washing,
il will save more than half the usual labor
That it does not require more than one third the
usual quantity Of soap and water and that there
is no rubbing, and consequently, little no wear
ing or tearing-That it knocks off no buttons. and
that the finest clothes, such collars, laces, tucks,
irils, &c, may be- washed in very short time
without the least injury, and in fact without any
apparen, wear and tear, whatever. We therefore
cheerfully recommend it to our friends and to the
public, as most useful and labor saving machine

DISCOVERY OF THE MAGNETIC Poles The
Cincinnati Chronicle has the following -
"a scientific gentleman, who was present at
Dr. Locke's lecture on Monday evening, says it

discoveries he had made and the facts accumu-
lated in regerd to the magnetic poles, and the
line of greatest intensity This has been sub.
iect of examination with him for several years.
He considers now that the magnetic poles are
discovered-at ledst their immediate locality.
His views on this subject have been confirmed
by other observers. One Of the magnetic poles
is in Siberia and another in the northern part of
America. The line ofgreatest intensity is near
the shores of Lake Superior"

Something for the Dead.

Willis says, in his letter from Frankfort, In
Germany: /" If one dies here, he has the choice
of returning te life, for two days longer than
elsewhere. Bodies are taken to the cemetery,
and after they are left by their friends, they are
laid out with bell-pull attached TO the fingers
by long thimbles. The least agitation of the
hand, rings bell and brings a waiter. This
kind Of halfway house between death and the
grave, would, believe, have been stopping
place for many poor traveller who has "gone
on" am sorry TO say did not see the arrange
mcnts Of this humane provision. The caution
and custom should be universal, and, | should like
to have material for saying more aboutit." That's
a pretty cute invention, and reminds US of
story told of an indolcnt Dutchman, who was very
fond of taking good long snooze in the morn
ing. He procured a bell, and mad strings at
tached 10 ii, which reached to his bed side. When
asked what he done that for, he replied: 81 has
noting to do, but bull de string, and wake NINE
self !"

THE CADIZ SENTINEL.
Remarkable PhenoInenon.

Not very remote from Cadiz, Ohio, says a
Clergyman Of that place, there lives Mrs. b.,
n member of the Presbyterian church in good
Standing. This lady for years past has inpoluq-
ltaTiiy and unconSciousiy delivered religious dis
course from one to three hours in duration reg
ular!y on every other Sabbath at about the usual
hour Of the morning service.
She generally appears somewhat unwell'and OPP
pressed on the morning preceding the exercises;
near The time Of commencing her discourse she
appears swooning away, from which she appears
to recover in some degree, still frothing at the
mouth, pale and deeply exercised; she recIines
upon her couch, and regularly addresses an au-
dience of from two 10 FIVE hundred persons. Af-
ter she closes she appears 10 faint away with
exhaustion; but is soon restored to her ordinary
health and spirits. Then she is totally uncon-
scous Of what she has done or said, and can on
y remember what occurred up to the time that
she seemed 10 pass under the control of this
strange affection.
Her discourse is pous, fervent strain Of ex-
horaton, often methodica and varied, and not
remarkable for repetition. She is a decided
Calvanist, and is sometimes severe in her ami
madversons upon the sins of the day,
Many people in the neighborhood think she is
inspired. Intelligent persons regard her affec-
tons as a remarkable species of calalepsy. There
are some things about it that are very difficult
TO explain. In some respects the case appears
analogous TO the German servant girl, who un-
der the delirum of a fever repeated correctly
pages of Greek and Hebrew, of which languages
she was totally ignorant.
1t may be that the religious reading Of this la
dy and her deyout meditaons, 10 which she is
inclined in her ordinary health, furnish her with
the materials for her sabbath discourses; and
that these things are brought up while laborlng
under her cataleptc affection on the same prnci-
pie on which the Hebrew and Greek-which the
servant girl had heard read, came wildly to
mind and got utterance at her lips But why
these affections, wholly involuntarily, should be
on the sabbath and not on week day--why they
should be every other Sabbath and not every
third Sabbath--and why they should be about
eleven O'Clock in the morning and not at six or
nine or some other hour of the twenty-four--I
shall leave TO your wiser correspondents to an
lswer
65-We find the above in the Cincinnati Com
mercial. The lady TO whom the piece refers, is
well known 10 our citizens. We have been TO
hear her on two occasions, and believe that the
account given above is literally correct Her dis
courses are generally religiously beautiful and
intensely affecting. Very often they cause the
audience to shed tears, and produce good and
lasting impressions on the mind. Similar cases
are reported in medical books, but this one is
said to be more remarkable than any other on re-
cord. We have often wished that some physi-
clan of learning would give the public full and
satisfactory account of the case ED. SENT.

OEr The Hon. John w. Davis, of Indiana,
may be very clever fellow, very good demo-
crat, and may make an excellent Speaker of the
House of Representatives; but in his selection Of
committees he must have forgotten that there
was such state in the Union as Ohio! Not an
Ohio member has been placed on committee
of the least consequence If this was the result
of ignorance. it shows that Mr.. Davis is a "hoo-
sier,r in the worst sense of he word; and if done
it proves that he is mean and ilbe-
raj, and totally unworthy of the place he occu-
pies
