What Advertising can Do.

/ Mr.. Bonner, the proprietor of the
New York Ledger, a weekly literary
paper, issued in New York city, has
run the edition Of that paper up
to one hundred and thirty thou
sand copies! a larger number than
any New York weekly newspaper. :
The quantity of paper used weekly
for the New York Ledger, is three
hundred and forty reams, Of five
hundred sheets per ream. The forms
Of matter are duplicated for each
number, by electrotype, and a large
number of presses are kept constant
ly at work, night and day, to turn of
its enormous supply. 1t is said that
the proprietor has expended $42, 900
within the last year in advertising
his paper, and when we see how lib
orally he uses the columns ofthe largest
circulated dailies, the above state
ment does not appear to be overesti-
mated. The result shows what a
man may do towards promoting bis
business judiciously as well as lib.
orally.

Fashionable Bristlcs.

appointed affection, oil gambling
debts, went crazy, and had to have
his head shaved. When he recover
ed his sanity, he, with noble disdain
for his appearance, refused to wear d
wig, but went into public with his
nearly bald head. The conrtiers, out
of complaisance to his Royal High
ness, Immediately had their locks
shorn to a brevity corresponding with
his, and thus bristles became fashion

Scene il ! Young Lady's Bed Chamber.

On Tuesday nigdt, 18th Of August,
which will be remembered as one Of
the warmest Of the season, "a young
lady at the West End was excessively
frightened at q little circumstance
which transpired about the hour Of
midnight, The young lady, whose
beauty is only eqnalled BY her modes
ty, and whose seyes dark charm" has
caused more than one waistcoat to pal
pitate, had retired to her chamber,
where. after laying aside the greater
part Of her wearing apparel, shecom
mitted herself to the tender embraces
Of Morpheus; whose soothing inhu-
ences were aidedIby the cooling breath
of Zephyr, who came id at the open
window and famed her cheeks with
his feathery wings. In a word, she
snoozing finely.
It was, as we said, about midnight,
when the young lady was reused from
delicious slumber By hearing a noise
at the window. Half unclosing her
eyes she was startled BY the sight Of
a 7corpulent form apparently strug-
Cling to gain admission to her cham
Der through the open window. It
struck her at once that the intruder
had been caught BY the rear Of his
unmentionables BY q nail or some
sharp instrument, as he seemed to be
struggling with . firm determination
to enter. s.a
Her first thought was to faint
her second, to give theIfellow a push
her third, to jump out Of the win
dow as soon as he jumped in-her
fourth, to scream, which was imlne-
diately carried into effect. The loco
motive on the Iron Mountain road,
when it gave it's first snort on the 4tk
of July, was but 4 whisper to- the
screams Of the young girl. The whole
house and half the neighborhood,
were awakened by the cutlery. The
old folks, three female servants, and
two big brothers rushed to the rescue,
and broom-sticks, mop-handles boot
jacks flashed in the gas light, as the
household entered the chamber Of the
frightened beauty. An examination
of the figure in the window dispelled
the fears of all, and changed the
screams Of the young lady into shouts
oflaughtcr. The imaginary fat man
was only her darling hoped skirt,
which she had hung on . hook near
the window. and which the wind had
inflated and set id motion. There
was no more sleeping in the house

We 1are pleased to add, here, that
we earn that our old friend, j. j.
CoIenan, Esq, late Commonwealth .
Attorney for Fayette, and q consis-
tent old line Wing, has declared his
intention to vote for Buchanan. Mr..
%. is one Of the few men in our coun-
try whose judgment may err but his
heart never. All his impulses are
patriotic he has no other aim than
his country's good. I'M
Monroe gave us an indication last
Spring Of her respect for Sam, BY
electing Democratic Sheriff over
the K. n. nominee, by about so ma
,iority. She promises to do even bet
ter for Buchanan. 1t will be remem-
bered that Monroe gave Flournoy a
majority Of about 800.
In Pocahontas and Allegheny there
has not been such great changes as in
other counties in this region, from
the fact that the thing has been pref
ty much all anti.Sam heretofore.
But we have from these counties the
most cheering intelligence. In d
conversation with an intelligent old
line Wing merchant of Huntersville,
a few weeks ago, we learned that lie
was a Buchanan man, and that Poca-
hontas was all right for Buck and
Breck. X %.,. .H ~ :..sE
These are some of our indications
in this region, but the tale is not hall
told. The figures after the election
will tell a more satisfactory story. ~
