vanaerburg County library

FELLOW CITIZENS:
After long, yet unavoidable delay, we
are able to announce to you that (your) the
County Library will be open for the delivery
Of books on the LIST Saturday Of next month.
Cashing the County Orders procuring prop
er person to purchase at little expense, and
lowness of the river, have been some of the
causes for this delay. We are able to say
to you that we have a good selection. and
when all are received that aNe purchased and
donated there will be from twelve to fifteen
hundred volumes, suited as we believe to
the tastes Of this community. We have,
with hope that all will participate and be-
come readers, put the annual subscription at
the low price Of fifty cents, so that none can
say they are too poor to become members.
The ripe scholar the farmer the mechanic
and little child, all will be able 10 find some
thing that will be insiructing and well calcu-
lated to feed the mird.
None Of you, fellow-citizens. can say in
a truth that you are not interested in the
success of this Library. You all should en-
courage the use of the books, subscribe
yourselves and cause your children TO sub
scribe and encourage a love of knowledge
in them.
In country like this, where the people are
the Government, they cannot inform them
selves too much. The more knowledge they
have, the more power they have, and the less
liable they are TO be duped by designing dem
agogues. There are rules for the govern
ment of the Library, which will, as soon as
practicable, be published, with a catalogue Of
the books. We deem it proper TO give few
Of the rules here:
A member can retain book for 30 days, il
he or she wishes.
Members are liable for any damage the
books may sustain while in their hands.
The Library will be open for the delivery
or reception of books Tuesdays and Satur.
days, from 2 TO 6 o'clock p. M.
Fathers, moihers-and those who ever ex
pect to be such--exert yourselves in this cause
Young ladies, request your lovers to subscribe
Young gentlemen. subscribe Tor your sweet
hearts, so that we shall all be members OF tht
same body.
Many persons who wish to help in tn,
cause Of knowledge may have books tina
they may wish to donate TO the County Lii
brary TO those we would say, send them
and they will be received with thanks
They can be left with MIR. A. Ii. Sanders tn,

From Brazil.
E. A. CORRECT, Sec'y.

By the arrival yesterday of the ship Re-
becca, Capt. Wolfe, from Rio Janelro, we
have received news from that city to August
29th.
The Rebecca brought $500 bags of coffee,
being the first cargo OF the season.. 1t is con-
signed to Messrs. A. +. Elliott g. Co., and is
held al thirteen cents. Ii is a very fine car
90. We have seen a letter dated Rio Au-
gust 2Sth, which says that there was then 10
vessel loading for this port that coffee was
coming in freely but the quantity was indif-
erent, and that the general opinion was that
the crop would be short. Last year the srst
cargo, consisting Of 3.170 bags, was received
at this port by the Cllntonia Wright.
We find nothing in our files of the formal
do Concrete concerning the yellow lever at
Rio. We presume it has entirely disappear
eG in that city. AT Para anl other towns on
the coast, the epidemic was prevailing to a
fearful extent. The formal says that in Por-
tugal, in almost every town. masses were said
and prayers addressed 10 Heaven to abate
the disastrous epidemic which was ravaging
the coast Of Brazil.
We notice in our papers several statements
concerning the American recldmations on
Portugal, which we have not seen before
One correspondent says that the Portuguese
Government had agreed to pay. and another
that the Americans had agreed to submit the
claims 10 arbitration.
| News from Montevideo had been received
at Rio TO August Sih. There was nothing OF
Importance except that the French forces had
| landed.
A proposition has been introduced into the
Brazilian Parliament to relieve the British
mail steamers from harbor dues and other
imports.
The troubles which bad occasion good
deal Of annoyance at Pcrnambuco have come
TO an end, aud the district has been complete
ly paciied.
II was SAID that some crueIties had been
committed by the Government officials, and
accordingly resolution OF inquiry passed the
Brazilian Parliament or Cortes.
! We fad that the English have not yet con.
cluded their lnsolent proceedings on the coas
of Brazil. The steamer Harry is hoytr,,e
around the harbor OF Rio, and seizes every
now and then some unsuspecting Brazilian
schooner or brig. In this manner the Fetice
ira was captured and sent of to ST. Helen;
by Admiral Reynolds. 1t was said ;hat tn,
HAPPY was preparing for visit TO the coas
of Africa. We learn verbally that much ex
element existed in Rio on account of thes,
proceedings of the British, but we do not fine
that there has yet been any Government ac
ton on the subject.
We learn, also, that there was very it'll,
business doing in Rio. Money was very
scarce. and failures frequent.
About 10000 bags were in the market
There were only few vessels in port load
inc for New York They could take from
10000 to $4,000 bags. Exchange had ad
yanced 10 20 hence.

S25 Reward.

On Friday night two scoundrels amused
themselves by walking about the city, and
destroying property to the full extent Of their
ability. The tearing down of signs might be
considered matter of devitry very excusa-
bic IN wild young bucks, but the destruction
OF valuable property and the disturbance of
a city in connection, is a different thing
Fifteen panes of glass were broken out of the
window Of our editorial room-Dr. Laycock's
office window was generally smashed-Mr.
ONeil's window dtto-Dr. Hatchitt's win
dows broken--and gates torn from their him
gcs, banisters broken down, and various 9TH
or outrages committed, which should not 90
unpunished. We, therefore, offer the above
reward for the discovery and conviction of the
offenders. If there be no other way for the
prevention Of these outrages. n night police
should be employed. No citizen is secure in
his property, il such offences as these are al
lowed to be carried on without rebuke We
devoted Saturday to a search for the often.
dcrs. which accounts for the scarcity of ediro-
rial to-day, and with others have offered |;
LIBERAL reward for the discovery Of the rascals
engaged in this affair, but it becomes all. es.
,Peeially those interested as property holders
toferret out the villains. There appears tc
have been no private malice to crafty, but
merely propensity to injure as much prop
: erty as possible. These enemies to our peace
md property Should be ferreted out The
reward stands ready for any one who can dis
cover to us the true offenders.

Our AT LAsT.--It seems that the plan
which that betrayer of his countrymen, Louis
Napaieon, has 50 long medita,ed, of retain
ing the possession Of power, has been at last
divuIged. The paris Moriteur OF Sept. Gath,
in kind OF semi-officai manifesto, says that
the President, '.ior the sake of meeting the
mcnacing attitude of the monarchcal party
during the last two months, will apply to the
Assembly for a prolongaiion of power, which
he only asks for the sake of establishing or
der, confidence and credit, end with no dynas-
tic views; and if refused, he would not hest
tate 10 make an appeal to the people," But
il should be noted that the word people here
should be electors Tor more than half of the
people were lately DISTINGUISHED through the
efforts ofihis same unprincipled and selfish
Napoleon.

MILKING Cows-A Neo Meihod.-The
new method OF milking which our readers
may already have seen something OF IN the
papers, is no joke, but practicai reality
An Informant Of ours witnessed the opera
lion in the farm yard of )seph Fellows, Esq,
OF Geneva, but few days since. India ruO-
Der bags were drawn over the cows teats
which set close enough 10 exclude the air, in
the lower end of which metallic tubes were
inserted, closed by taps! when The four were
adjusted, the taps were Withdrawn, and The
mix streamed from each teat into the pail,
exhausting the whole quantity in the cows
bag. in half the time it would take 10 milk in
the ordinary way. 1t is a useful invention,
agains, which no valid objection can exist,
and will be likely to come into general USE
The prime cost of set--lour mixers, we
stall have to call them, cannot exceed fifty
cents. They are simple; east y and cheaply
manufactured. When cows are stalled it
would seem that one man could milk ten in
fifteen minutes, If he was supplied with the
apparatus for each cow Roch. ADlericGa.

FuritIyc Excitement.

BOSTON, Oct. 70.
The U. S. Marshall has issued warrants
for a large number of fugitive slaves, and
much excitement exists in consequence among
the negro population. The Court House has
been surrounded by them all the morning and
they have expressed determination to resist
any attempts to carry them back to slavery
even to the cost OF bloodshed
The negro Latimer. who has resided here
three or -four years, has been recognized by
his master. No doubt blood will flow if any
attempts at open arrest are made. II is ru-
mored that several fugitwes have already
been arrested, and that one or two are now
in Jail. Sprague was questioned this morn
ing, but would not say whether any arrests
had been made. He declared all examina-
tons should be made publicly 10 the Court
House. Excitement constantly increasing.
