INTERESTING FROM SALT LAKB.-By way Of
California, We have advices from Salt Lake
City to April.
The schism in the Mormon Church has as
sumed formidable character. The Glad
denites, or apostates from the Simon Pure
faith, as enuuciated by Brigham and his ad.
herents, have Of late wonderfully increased
their numbers, and grown so rebelious that
tho Prophet is forced to environ himself with
trusty guard Of the faithful. The letters
state that his house is guarded night and day
by his friends, and that so bitter are bis enc.
mics against him, he is afraid to show him
self in public. lie has deserted the Taber-
nacle.
The Mormons of Carson Valley, on account
Of difficulties apprehendcd with their Cen
tile neighbors, had been peremptory order
ed to Salt Lake by the Prophet, but thinking
it easier to negotiate peace than TO sacrifice
their homes, they have shaken hands with
the Amsakitcs, and buried the tomahawk
Snow had fallen in the Valley this winter to
the depth of two feet, but did not lie long
enough to do any injury to the stock. Cat
tie are in fine condition, and great many
have been wintered there.

TWENTY GOOD REASONS WHY
KETCHUMS Combined Reaper and
Mower

For 1857 is the most complete machine in use,
and the one best adapted TO the wants of the
Farmer
First.--Bens wholly made of IuoS it is more
durable than any other.
Second. 1t is go simple that any person can
readily manage it.
Third. 1t is so strongly and we'll built .hs,
it cannot easily get out of repair.
Fourth. 1t is neat and compact, occupying
less space than any other
Fifth The frame is 40 easily balanced hat
there is no weight on the horses necks.
Sixth. There is little OF no side draft.
Seventh II will cut heavy and light grass
equally well.
Eighth. 1t cuts wet grass well as drv.
Ninth The new cutter bar wheel lessons the
draft at least one fourth in moving.
Tenth Two horses will work it with ease
in any kind of grass or grain.
Eleventh 1t is the only machine with the
cutter bar directly opposite the shaft of the driving
wheel.
Twelfth The open cutting blade efectually
prevents clngeing ~ any kind of grass.
Thirteenth. lis changed in few minutes
frcm mower to Reaper
Fourteenth. 1t is tho only machine with a
rear and side delivery for grain.
Fifteenth 1t is the only machine which gives
the Raker control Of the grain, both before and
after it reaches the platform.
Sixteenth. The adjustable spring seat, and
new reaper shoe are capital Improvements.
Seventeenth. Seven Years of severe practical
trial with more than | . 0o0 machines have proven
its decided superiority. Like wine it improves
with age.
Eighteenth. All the improvements for 1857
have been practically and thoroughly tested.
Nineteenth. Every part Of the machine is
made By mas,rr workmcn end in the most sub
stantial manner.
Twentieth. Kc,chu,n's Reaper and Mower
is warranted to cut grass and grain as well as it
can he done with scy the or cradle.
In word it is just the machine which farmer
can buy without any nsk, because ample cXpc-
rence has proven that ii is reliable in all its parts
FARMERS, send in your orders early, MS the

IMPORTANT DEvRLoruEETs.-I, was dscov-
cred yesterday that the two men killed on
the Railroad at lIghspire, on Thursday NOR
ming last had been for several weeks residents
of our town, and occupied house in North
street near Front The disclosure of this
fact led to an immediate search of the house
and the discovery Of various implements used
in the manufacture Of counterfeit coin aud
bank notes.
A woman in the house-supposed to be
the wife or mistress of one of the partics-con
fessed that the men came here from Muncy
and had some connection with gang o.
counterleiters and burglars. This confirms
our suspicious as to the Mddletown robbie
ries. The two men who were killed no doubt
were connected with the Muncy gang il
these outrages. and the boat whose sudder
| and mysterious disappearance from Middle
town w0 alluded to yesterday there is reason
| 10 believe, con n,sined the stolen property.
| further search of the house was made las
night and it was expected that additional de
yelopmenls would be made. and full con

Ngw BANKS IN PnILADRLAHIA.-The Phil
adelphia American says -
Three new banks have been Incorporated this
year each with capital Of half million OF
dollars, and the capital Of the Manufacturers
and Mechanics Bank has been increased some
seven hundred thousand dollars. These ad-
dtions are in all two million two hundred
thousand dollars. The Manufacturers and
Mechanics Bank has long been among the
most active of our smaller banks, and its
sphere of operations had in fact become oil
necessity SO very extended in order to ac-
commodate the growth of trade, that large
increase ofcapital was much wanted. AS re-
CARDS the new institutions, their character is
yet TO be decided. The Corn Exchange was
asked for by the large and influential body OF
traders gathering at the daily meeting on
Change, and will be actively supported by
them. SO that it bids fair to become substan-
iial concern. The Union Bank was asked
for by parties engaged 10 the North Third
street trade and it is understood hat there it
will be organize and located and tie directors
be taken from that quarter. The Common
wealth Bank had its origin among tho prin.
ters and publishers, and is, we are informed
TO be under their management.
