MATHEMATIcs-PHYsICs.

The bread which we eat IS machine-made !;
the -four was ground and bolted; the wheat was
reaped, threshed and winnowed the seed was
put in the ground the soil was dug up, all by
machinery. The houses we live in have the
timbers cut, and the bricks made by machine
ry. The clothes which we wear, the paper on
our walls, the furniture which we use, the books
which we read, the paper on which we write,
the very pens which we use, are all, more or
less, indebted to machinery for their existence.
The better the machinery, the less costly and
more perfect are the products; and, in the
race of competition, the nations which have the
greatest aggregation of these advantages be-
come more prosperous. Thus, mathematics,
so disdained in youthful study, are of incalcu-
liable advantage personally and nationally, in
all points. Mathematics constitute only part
of the relations, the motive powers which we
call scientific. We also have physics, which,
combined with mathematics, produced that
wonder-worker, the steam-engine. 1t would
take long article to enumerate, even rapid
Iy, oae tenth of the advantages which the
knowledge and application OF physics have
wrought. Take the article of iron alone, and
see what it effects, from the digging of the ore
out of the earth-though, at Lebanon.we have
seen it shoveled from the side of hammock
above ground until its final appearance in
SO delicate shape as the hair-spring of a
watch. Physics have taught us to ventiate
our mines; to manufacture the safety lamp
to prevent explosions of foul air within them
to regulate various processes within them by
means of the thermometer; to run the hot
instead of the cold blast of air through thell
ores, when in the melting furnaces, and thu;
augment the produce; to change the common
iron into the elastic steel. Physics have i'm
proved the light -houses-have made the mi
croscope detective inquisitor; have carried
into perfection spectacies and the telescope
have conquered the wayeriDg intelligence o.
the compass have turned the sun himself IN
to a landscape painter and portrait-taker
have made the electrotype process have Civ
en- us the telegraph. and may, one day perfect
a true Atlantic Cable.

were made on the result of this novel race.
Fulton proposed to Collins to mount upon his
shoulders, which was acceded to. At the Civ
en signal, the racers started amidst the most
vociferous cheering. When Fulton reached O
part of the road which he had examined care
fully before the race and from which sundry
stones had been removed, he staggered, pitch
ed forward, and landed his rider face foremost
on the ground. A tremendous Shout which a.
rose, might have come from those who had
bet against Fulton, or it might have led the
uninitiated to believe that this was a part Of
the programme. None was more chagrined
than Collins at the accident, for of course il
could have been nothing but an accident.
Fortunately it occurred in soft part of the
road. If we can Judge of that fact by the cows
having selected it as place of repose and
the dark unctuous compound which covered
Mr.. Collins visage, whilst it may have broken
his tall and saved him from scratch or bruise.
certainly did not add much to his personal
appearance.
Robert Collins had two sons, Robert and
John, and eleven daughters-Mary, Margaretta,
IL,
Margaret, Betsy, Ellen, Martha.
The erection of Court house was followed
by the judicial organization of the county.
On the 2lst day of October 1922, Francis W.
Rawle and Moses Boggs, first Associate Jud-
ges OF the county, took their seats and court
was opened. Samuel Fulton officiated as Pro-
thonotary and Greenwood Bell as Sheriff. On
motion of Moses Cannau, William Il. Smith
of Huntingdon county was admitted to prac-
tice, and then on motion of William r. Smith,
Moses Cannan, John G. Miles and john Will
Hanson of Huntingdon, Daniel Stanard and
Thomas White of Indiana, Joseph ". Fox,
Samuel Miles Green and John Blanchard of
Centre, Hugh IL. Brady of Jefferson and James
Hepburn and William J. Christy of Philadel-
phia county were severally admitted. The
last two became resident attornies and died
here. Samuel Miles Green was then in COM
mission as Deputy Attorney General for this
county. The next day, the 22d, Charles Hus-
ton, the President Judge, arrived and entered
upon the discharge of his duties, and William
". Porter of Centre county, who had accom-
panied him, was admitted to practice. With
the exception of receiving returns from the
constables of Bradford, Lawrence, Pike, Glib
son and Beccaria townships, the business of
that court amounted to nothing, but from the
array of names of men then and since distin-
guished for their legal requirements, it is
needless to add that the court and bar were
prepared for anything that could transplre.
The next court was held in the following De-
cember, and the cause first submitted to jury
of the county was Wright VS.. Amassa Smith.
Thomas Reed was selected as the foreman of
the Grand jury. They found l bill for larce-
ny, for tippling houses, for nuisance and
for blasphemy, and ignored 1 bill. During
this court Thomas Burnside and James NJ. z ct
riken of Centre county, and Henry Shippen of
Philadelphia were admitted to the bar.

SWAPPING WIVES.

The Beardstown Democrat tells the following
strange story: There lived in Beard dstown,
Cass county, ILL.,, small family-the parents
and three children-the husband being car
penter by trade, not very perseyering, but
still he made a comfortable living. That
family appeared to be happy, and to livesvery
agreeaby. Some time in the fall of 1857 they
were visited by a relative from Richmond, In
diana. The relative was no less than sister
of the wife of the family alluded to-gay,
good looking, and very winning in her ways.
She spent her time quite agreeably /; but was
noticed by some to pay particular attention to
the husband. Still, the family circle was not
disturbed. She returned to her home in Indi-
ana after few weeks social visiting. On
the 5th of April following, (lS58,) the hus-
band concluded that Beardstown had poor
show for improvements. and that he would
seek work elsewhere. Accordingly he made
his arrangements to leave ,and was rather more
liberal in the way of providing for his family
than usual before taking his leave. Weeks
passed, and that family heard no tidings of
the carpenter in search of work. The first
intimation received was that he had repaired
to Richmond, Indiana, where his sister-in-law
lived and informed her husband that he was
on his way toPittsburgh, Pa, ito visit his moth
erin Jaw. The wife concluded that it would be
favorable time for her ais to visit her mother,
and that she would GO with her brother-in-law.
1t would be such favorable time the husband
consented, and the parties prepared for their
intended trip; but instead of visiting Pitts
burgh, they left for parts unknown. These
facts becoming fully known, the wife despair
ed of ever seeing her husband, brought suit
for divorce, and at the last March term of
the Ciscuit Court for this county, was divorc-
ed from her husband, Leroy Taylor. She has
lived in Beardstown until last Monday, indus
trious and respectable, when she, with her
family, started for Indianapolis, Indiana, where
her brother-in-law resides, (Mr. VIM. B. Hig-
gins,) who so unfortunate as to lose his
wife, he having also obtained divorce and
strange to say, to-day Mr.. Higgins is to be
married to Mrs. Taylor. This seems to be a
fair exchange. Taylor runs off with Higgins
wife, and now Higgins marries Taylor's wife.
Higgins appears to have the best of the bar.

LOVES STRATAGEM.-A wedding took place
at Cherokee recently, under peculiarly roman
tic circumstances. A fair maiden of that place
was promised in marriage by her father, who
is a publican, to countryman whose abiding
place is n orth San Juan but the damsel low
ed another younger and better looking man,
whom alone she declared should be her we'd
ded lord. The cruel ssparient'' decided that
his will must be obeyed in the matter,
and locked his daughter up in her room aud
started for this place in quest of the man of
his choice. While he was gone the lover OF
the girl stole her through the window-oh
blind parent and the two started on keen
run for the nearest Justice, whose office is
bout mile from Cherokee. Onth road they
were stopped by an oflcious pursuer, where
upon the 'syouthfnl and most brave'' drew a
revolver, presented it, and most CALAMITY de-
clared that he would "fight for woman quick
er than for his grub!" This settled the ques-
ton Of intervention, and the fugacious lovers
were allowed to proceed. Reaching the abode
of the justice, who was happily not away, they
were at once united in the holy bonds of we'd
lock, and returned to Ceerokee in less haste
than they left it. When the outwitted father

ENDING THE SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-The Dem
ocrats have a singular way of showing that
they ssregard the slavery agitation as at an
end" What but ssslavery agitaton'' furnish
es the staple of all the speeches of Democrat
ic speakers-the editorials of Democratic
newspapers-and the harangues of Democratic
crossroads leaders Why, they have nothing
else to stir up the country. Without it the
party would run to seed in one moon. The
leaders are now working it up into the form
they think best suited TO alarm the fears of
the Southern people, and make them unit in
the next Presidential election. No baker ev-
er kneaded his dough with half the persistent
zeal they are displaying in getting ssslavery
agitation'' in such shape as to give them
another rise.

THE CALIFORNIA DUEL.

When Senator of the United States is kil
led in q duel, sby Chief Justice of sorer-
eign State, it is natural that the public should
become excited. The position of the combat
ants as high functionaries gives Importance 20
the duel beyond that which attaches TO ordi-
nary duels. The violent death of a Senator Is
a national calamity, and murder by q Chief
Justice is national stain.
Senator Broderick, who has fallen before
Chief Justice Terry, of California, was such
man as could only spring up aud grow into dis
tinction in the United States. He Inherited no
greatness, or wealth, or education. He went
through rough life in not by any means the
best society of New York. And yet he avoid
ed the common vices of his associates he
trained himself in his low school for better
sphere of society he emigrated to another
and distant State, and he became one of the
foremost men in California. His Senatorial
career was distinguished by the manliness and
Independence with which he treated all public
questions. If he showed no great Senatorial
polish, or lofty Statesmanship, he at least
showed what are not less valuable qualities, e.
deity, conscientiousness and boldness. These
led to his death. For they lost him the favor
of the President and led to the bitter animos-
ity shown towards him by the Democrats In
the last State election, from which resulted
the duel in which he was slain.
The Californians, particularly the San Fran
ciscans, are Mortified and grieved at the vio-
Chief Justice. 1t is no palliation of the crime
that the duel was conducted in strict accor-

HOPE

Hope is like the dawn of morning =
Breaking through the misty night,
Each of natures works adorning
With pure and holy light;
Like the gentle evening shower,
Scattered fragrance all around,
Opening every little flower

And we leave this world of care.
We may meet again in heaven.
