and we cheerfully recommend it to the use o.
our farmers as most valuable and economical
implement.

In reply to your inquiry as to my success
and opinion of Duncan's Spring-Tooth Horse
Rake purchased two seasons ago, it gives me
pleasure to say that it has proved entirely salts
factory. Finding it impossible to CLEAN my
fields clean with revolving rake two which
which had at that time) concluded to pur-
chase one of the Cleaners, which have used
two seasons with the most satisfactory results /;
and am confident one-third more grain can
be sdped with the Cleaner than any other now
in use. am convinced that it is only neces-
sary for the farming community to become
practically acquainted with the advantage OF
this rake to cause them to become universally
adopted. JOHN l.. DUFIEF.

an effective remedy for the hog cholera,
which has been prevailing so extensively

he finds the hogs beginning to get sick,

with their food, and that invariably makes

years, yielded to the solicitation of the
President and dined with the Cabinet a
few days ago 1t is also stated that he
was waited upon by some friends few

department. General Cass said: "Of-
fice-seeking in men, women, and chill
dren has become our national malady.-
God only knows how it is to be checked,
or in what direction the cure lies." This
was in response to the statement of two
old friends who called on him simply to
pay their respects, and assured him that
they were not about to ask his aid to OBJ

Charles X, BuckaIeW.

On the Goth ult,. the Senatorial Confe.
rees, after numerous baIlotngs, nominated
the Hon. Charles Il. Buckalew for Senator
for this district, composed of the counties
of Northumberland, Snyder, Columbia and
Montour. We need hardly say that the
nomination gives entire satisfaction aud
that the confcreos could have made no
nomination that would have been moro
warmly received in this county aud the
district.
Mr.. Buckalcw has been in the State
Senate six years, and for the last three
years has been considered the leading an
in that body. His abilities are of the
highest order, whilst his modest and up-
pre- tending department is only cqualed by
his merits. In the borough of Sunbury,
We predict, he will receive the largest vote
ever polled for that Office.

The 5ilonce of an Artic Night.

The following eloquent description Of
the silence of an Artlo night occurs in DR..
Hays lecture on the Artc regions. We
have, at least upon one occasion, when
eight or nine miles under ground in the
Mammoth Cave, seemed to feel the darkness,
but We never imagined that other negative
attribute of nature, silence, could be SO
intense as % be hsard. Yet tho doct or'J
description makes this strange paradox
reality. He says;-
The moonlights of this period (winter)
are tho most grand and impressive of any
thing have ever witnessed. The clearness
of the air, the white surface of the snow and
ice give an elect ,monotonous and cheerful,
but truly grand. But there is a nea0 ele-
nent which makes this midnight moon
light seem almost terrible in its impressive
ness, it's silence.

monotony Of ship-boerd life, gone off six
or eight miles into tho interior in search Of
novelty and in order that might be alone.
There, seated upon rock or snow-bank,I i
look around me, and see a great, uneven
couutry--rocky hills and glaricies covered
with snow; myriads Of crystal gems
sparkling in the light of the pale moon,
which shoots its rays down through the
crisp air, making it almost as light as day.
I look seward, and sec a long plain Of
ice, melting into the horizon, dotted all

I am too far from the shore to hear the
crunching of thestables as they rise and
fall lazily with the tide, or the roar like
distant thunder as some huge crack opens
through the heavy foes. There is no
animal to cross my path, no tree among
whose stiff branches the wind can sigh and
moan. There is no song of bird to cnliven
the scene, no wild beast to howl. stand
there alone, the only representative Of

myself; I hear nothing but the pulsations
of my own heart, my own foot steps, or,
now and then possibly, in the distance, the

isolation croeps over me. My heart beats

A Man shot by a yeura Lady

On Wednesday night last distressing
accident occurred at the residence of Mr..
George Smith, in Charles City county, near
the Henrico cas- ern line, which resulted in
the death Of worthy young man, and in
great anguish to two families at least. Mr..
Samuel Throg, oyerscer for Wm. B.,
Randolph, Esq, at his Greenwood farm in
Honrioo, has been paying his addresses to
Miss Smith, and on the evening of the
accident had called to spend few hours
with her, After sitting in the house in
conversation with the young lady her
mother and brother fer some time, she
left the room for o few moments, and on
getting on tie porch, picked up gun
which she supposed to be empty, went to
the window leading into the direction o'
her mother, brother and Mr.. Throg, at.
tempted to snap it to frightcn them. Ur'
fortunately the gun happened to be heavily
charged at the time, and when the trigger
was pulled it exploded, dcpositing the
contents in the side of young ihrog's head
killing him almost instantly.
This sad occurrence is another warning
to persons never to point a gun or pistol a
any one, in play. Accidents are cOntinu
ally occurring from the careless use of drt
arms, and now that the shooting season is
about to set in a number of casualties may
be expected if carolessness is not strictly
guarded against, --Ricls0lo'aa Dispatch.

Poace in Kansas.

The war Of factions, on the Kansas
question, is confined to those outside of
Kansas. The people of the Territory are
deeply Interested Interested in their homes,
in their household goods--that there shall
be permanent and perpetual peace in
Kansas. No such motives inspire the
politicians who want war and dissonsion.
They desire to help themselves as parlisans,
not as patriots, aud hence they cry out
against tho amiablc and fraternal spirit
which is preparing Kansas for admission
into family of ataics. Two gentlemen con-
nected with the public press, but both
entirely Independent Of party politics, who
have just returned from Kansas, concur in
saying that when they left everything was
singularly quiet and satisfactory, The
people were absorbed in business and other
pursuits more ennuring than politics and
it was only when our informants returned
to the States that they found the real Kansas
war. few days, however, will settle The
matter, and we shall then be able TO tell
how far these representations are we'll
founded or not. We cannot doubt that
what the people of Kansas most desire
themselves they will obtain, no matter how
the factions, who have no right to interfere,
may clam Or The ErtSS.

" Gloomy Prospects" )"

The Tfbp"e says the prospects in
Kansas are gloomy No doubt. The
free State men having resolved to vote,
black rcpublicanism in the North is likely
to be bankrupt quite before election day
comes off. The Kansas capital stock is
all gone. Gloomy prospects, indeed here.

failures, and be done with it.
