July 8 '47-5m

The subscriber is still ready to supply the pub
lie with the right kind OF machinery. lie has
introduced Double Ram of his own invention,
winch will lift water from we'll, spring or res
ervoir, any depth not more than 80 II. beneath
the level where it works, end then throw 1t to
any desirable height. This is an entirely new
invention, and produces the effect by the simple
impulse and conclusion of the water and atmos-
pherc pressure. There Is no rotary friction, ana
nothing to wear but three simple valves; ana tne
cost is very little more than that OF the single
ram, which; while 1t is much more complicated
throws only part of the water used as the propei-
ling power.
The SINGLE RAM is improved materially from
those first used in this county.
lie has also introduced douhle-actng Force
and lift pump, of Il very superior kind. 1t will
lift the water from any well OF any depth and
throw it to any height required, say TO bath
room in any part of house, or 10 the garden IN
he form of "A Jet.
Also, single pump, much cheaper than the
above, but which will only raise water soft. This
pump suits well IN towns and vllages--it saves
the digging of other wells, one good well by
the placing ofleadcn pipes from it to the places
where the water is wanted, will supplya dozen
iamlics.
The above machines are made of durable ma
terialS, such iron, copper, brass and lead, and
are warranted.
On hand and for sale, patent trost-protcctcd
hydrants that will not freeze up, lead pipe of all
sizes, and carthcn and cement indestrucllble pipe
for conveying water long distances.
All orders and enquiries addressed to me at
Ekton, Md, will receive prompt attention.

CoNNEAuT, Oct, 1917

C~oNNEAuT, Oct, 1917.
Dear Sir:-It is deemed important that the
following facts should be Immediately pub
lished through your paper. A colored man,
calling himself Robert Thompson, is now in
the interior or southern part of this state, So
Letting funds for the avowed object of pur-
chasing his mother, who he says is now in
the louisville Jail, to have been sold on the
first of this month, but sale postponed by the
assurance that her sons had nearly the amount
required for her purchase. (&i00.)
1T is manifest from a variety of contradic-
tons and false statements made by the said
Robert in this part of the country that he is
a base impostor. He states that he has a
brother in Cincinnati by the name OF James,
who is a Methodist preacher, and to whom
he forwards his collections. 1t is presumed,
however, that he has several hundred duilaTs
in his possession, and as soon as his wherea-
bouts can be learned, measures will be taken
10 arrest him on the charge of swindling.
lie is nearly six feet high, of manly form,
prominent nose, dark eyes; is lame in his left
ANGLE, caused, as he says, by a charge Of
shot, and is always ready to show a brand
under one arm, inflicted by his master while
a slave.
These particulars will suffice as a caution
to the friends ofthe slave against giving Gre
dence TO his story.
E. F. DICKINSON.
Had the above intelligence been forwarded
directly from Conneaut instead of coming
ria Cincinnati, we might have prevented
some dollars from going into ~Thompson's
pocket. The fellow has been here, and
though he did not receive very much in this
place, we have heard Of his collections else
where being considerable. The public ought
to be on their guard against those who
are engaged in collecting money for the al
lodged purpose of redeeming their relations
from slavery; for although many OF them tell
too true a tale, yet thousands of dollars have
unquestionably been bestowed upon impos-
tiers.
huying men out Of slavery is a hundred

The Capture of Mexico.

We have been rather cautious about giving
too much credence TO any rumors from the
seat of war, and have therefore been slow to
believe the thousand and one reports that
have been put in circulation relative to the
capture of the city of Mexico. But we sup
pose it is no longer a matter Of doubt that
General Scott has, or rather had, possession
of the Capital, for Madame Rumor says he
has been forced TO relinqulsh his conquest.
The contamination so d%evoutly prayed for by
plous plunderers has been realized the star
s~pangled banner has loated over the city of
the ~lncas, or to use a threadbare expression,
the American troops hare revealed in the Halls
of the Montezumas and what better is the
world for it! Is christianity clothed with a
newer beauty, is truth made more lovely,
righteousness more desirable? Have the
hungry been fed thereby, the naked clothed,
the prisoners visited and comforted Has
the widows heart been made to smile in sad
ness, has the Orphans tear been dried : Let
the crumbling ruins of the desolated city an
swer. Let the mangled bodies Of its women
and children give back reply. Let the burst
ing bomb, and the roar Of the open-mouthed
cannon tell of what benefit the Conquest Of
Mexico has been 10 man.

Is IT WoRTu MENDlYGl-We remember
reading ola poet of modern times whose per-
son was considerably deformed, and who had
a habit of lnterldrding his conversation with
the expression ''The Lord mend mel" On
one occasion when he was travelling in a
stage coach he made frequent use q his IA
vorite exclamation and thereby attracted the
notice Of a passenger who was sitting with
his back toward him, and who, after atten-
lively examining his form responded ''rhe
Lord mend you! He would find it easier 10
to make haIfa dozen decent looking men,
than to mend such a fellow as you"
The American Union is SO mishapen, so
utterly deformcd, that they who would I'M
dertake to mend it, must indeed feel the hope
l%essness Of their labor, and after years Of toll
will come to a conclusion similar to that Of
the poets travelling companion, that ii would
be an easier task TO make a half a dozen new
ones. If the American Union, as some con-
tend, is reasonably good in itself, yet it is in
the hands of robbers and murIerers, and is
used by them for a wicked purpose. 1t is
now powerless for good and mighty for evil.
Without it, the North would not have made
war upon Texas, and the South could not
Withoutit, the fugitive slave would find shell
ter and a home in the northern states. With
out it, the South would be unable 10 hold her
bondman in their chains. Without it the right
of northern men would be respected, and free
dom of thought and speech be something
more than a name. Without it, the morality
of the North would be infinitely higher, and
her prosperity greatly increased. But will
the Union to blast and 10 curse, the reverse
of all this is true. Why then should We
cling to the present mishapen, deformed anc
worthless Unionl Cannot another be for
med that will effect all the good i! ever pro
missed, and more than it can now perform, o.
ever could perform if it were wres,ed from
the hands Of those who now direct and con
troll its movements? Why not make a ney
Union instead of trying to get possession G
the old one that you may tinker at it in hope
decently to mend it! Is il really worth men
ding?

sition than their redemption by the preaching
of truth. Ale purchase of a slave in order
to free him, does not necessarily lessen the
actual amount Of human suffering. 1t re-
lieves the indiriduaL but does not touch the
system; and the vacancy accustomed by such
sale is readily filled by another purchase,
which perhaps leaves a surplus in the hands
of the trader TO be applied for the further eX-
tension Of that institution which we wish
was moe peculiar than it really is. We have
heard it said, and have good reason to believe
it true, that Shareholders frequently originate
plans for the sale Of comparatively worthless
slaves, and appeal to the flial feelings of the
son or daughter Of such who is already free.
10 aid them in the speculation. The father
perchance bears the burden Of seventy years
and is worn out with excessive toll. His
but his master generously offers to dispose Of
him to Northern buyers for $3.50, and 10
quicken their desire to purchase, threatens to
sell him south if not redeemed before a Ger.
tain day. Some warm hearted friends of hui
manity who act upon the compensation pol.
icy, hastily raise the money and congratulate
themselves that they have released at leas
one soul from slavery. But how stands the
case! Their purchase has in fact tended t
make the slave trade a thought hriskcr, an>
the purchase money has enabled the maste
TO buy two young girls who have been rear
ed to supply the demand and Gil the vacan
cy thus created.
If you would be as wise as the slave deal
ing serpent, devote your money to the estab
l%ishmsnt Of anti-slayery principles, rattle
than to slavo-buying.

see that they cannot certainly and voluniafl-
~ sustain the wrong without guilt, or are so
deficient in moral courage as to be unable 10
take the position which truth and conscience
dictate. If those who believe the war TO be
wrong, had unitedly taken the true stand at
its very commencement, the butcheries Of
Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palama, and Mata-
moras, would have been the last ofii, and,
fifty thousand human lives, and almost count
less millions of money would have been saved

CASE OF Washington, Sept
81, 1S47.-A few years ago a gentleman diec

among them two children, who by his vii
were manumitted. Thrir mother "boun,
them out" to an individual of this city nance
Thomas, we understand, who transferre
them for a consideration to a "soul driver.
Under suspicious circumstances this fellow
was lately arrested with the children at Mem

arrest Of Thomas, who is held over in thi
city to answer. His colleague, with the kid
mapped children, it is expected, will also b.
brought forward to answer here at the comm!
