MEbSKS EDITORS:
Having been called
upon by some of my friends, and finally
through your paper, to be a candidate for
Mayor at the approaching election, can
only answer the printed call, as have the
oral ones, with decided negative. While
| do this, am very grateful to my friends
as am also sensible of the honor they
would confer. My comparatively short
residence in the city and recent identity
with its interests, to say nothing of want
of age and experience, would forbid my
leaving the matter Gin the hands of my
friends" Very Respectfully,

been too great disposition on the part Of some
Of the Planters to mix with their good Tobacco

Hvered an address to the teachers ON the
Importance of improving their time, and
urging the necessity of promptness and
regularity on their part, to insure good re-
suits from the Institute. S. H. Sharp af-
terwards gave an interesting lecture on the
principles of penmanship. Prof f. A.
Allen was then introduced, and entertained
the members of the Institute with few
interesting remarks on the pleasure of
meeting his fellow-teachers on the present
occasion, after which the meeting adjourn
ed to meet at u o'clock, in the Presbyte-
ran church, where they were again enter
tanned by the same gentleman with lee
ture on the early and present conditions Of
our public schools Tuesday forenoon was
occupied with practical illustrations of
grammar and arithmetic The afternoon
session was spent in instructions on geog-
raphy, composition and reading, and lee
ture on school government by Prof Allen.
About seventy teachers are in attendance,
and lively interest is taken In all the ex-
ercises by both teachers and citizens. In
the evening the audience was favored with
an appropriate address by Geo. W. Elder,
Esq, of Lewistown At each calling of
the roll, the teachers responded with ap-
propriate sentiments, which greatly enliven-
ed the exercises.

peA.At Teachers and Scholars Prayer
Meeting of the Lutheran Sabbath School,
on Sept, goth, 1858, the following pream-
bic and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, In the Providence Of God it has
been the lot of ADAM G. McCuRDY one of
our most faithful Sabbath School Scholars, to
meet with an untimely end by drowning, on
Wednesday night, 18th inst, therefore
ReSolred, That in his death, our Sabbath
School has lost Scholar who was always at
his place in his class at the time appointed,
ever attentive to the lessons and instructions
of his teachers, and who took deep and
abiding interest in all the operations Of the
school. lie had gained the love and esteem
of both teachers and scholars, and gave cheer
ing hopes, by his general good conduct, of a
bright and useful future. But as 1t has pleas
ed God in his all-wise providence to remove
him from this world of sorrow at an early
age, we must submit with humbleness to his
inscrutable will, hoping our loss is his cter-
nal gain.
Resolced, That we tender our sincere SYM
pathies to his remaining sisters and friends,
and trust though they mourn, it is not as
those who have no hope. His last words
were Good bye, am going" Let theirs
and ours be good bye, till we meet again in
the joyful rest prepared for Gods people.
| Resoired, That this small tribute of re
| spect to his memory be published in the Lu-
/ theran Sabbath School journal and our town

TNHE subscriber takes pleasure in offering to
| his customers new Patented Gas-burnlng
Cooking Stove, undoubtedly the best stove made.
1t is well known that all infammable matter
requires a certain amount of air TO support COM
huston, and if the supply is insufficient it is
impossible to produce a flame. The heat of
the fire, in ordinary cooking stoves, decomposes
the fuel, and all the fresh air is admit ed un-
der the CRATE, its oxygen is exhausted before 1t
has passed through the fire chamber. The close
hues at the top of the stove then act as an ex-
inguisher, tending to put out the fire instead Of
assisting the combustion large portion of
the fuel, therefore, passes of in the shape OF
smoke, cloggng up the flues of the stove so as
to impede the draft and interfere with the ba-
king,-or of invisible gas which combines with
the lime and so destroys the mortar of the
chimneys, loosening the bricks, and exposing
the dwellings to the danger of fire.
The introduction of additional supply of
cold air would cool the gas below the igniting
temperature, but by the proper application
above the fire Of air previously heated to a tenn
perature of several hundred degrees (Which is
one of the prominent features of the PATENT
the gases are infamed in numerous jets, and
their combustion is sufficient TO heat the oven,
even if the draft through the fire chamber is
entirely closed In addition to the ordinary di-
rect draft under the CRATE and through the fire
chamber, the gas-burner has an additional draft
through the top plates, which is of itself suffi-
cient to maintain combustion. The upper draft
not only consumes the gases, but it helps TO
| strengthen and preserve the centre pieces which
are most exposed to the direct action of the
fire, and which are made double instead Of the
usual single plates. BY means Of this draft
alone, all the operations of cooking can be car
ried on when the fuel is but partially ignited,
and the fuel consequently burns more slowly
and more economically. A sufficient evidence
of the effect Of the gases in heating the oven is
/ found in the fact that the oven will be ready
| for baking even before the fire is thoroughly
kindled, and much sooner than in any other.
There is scarcely doubt that before long
/ the burning Cooking Stoves will supercede
/ all others The operation is so perfect and its
! consumption of fuel small in comparison
with other cooking stoves, and its heat so easily
! regulated burning more or less as desired,
J that every one who uses one of these stoves will
! have nothing else. For sale by
