This power to secure a likeness OF a
person. animal. landscape, fruit or
machine, upon an engraver's block, in
an instant. without the tedious process
of pencil and crayon. has at last been
accomplished. 1t has cost nearly as
much to get the animal or article
drawn upon the block. as to engrave
it afterward. This is no longer the
case. Any artist with camera can
now transfer a likeness to the wood
prepared by process recently invent
ed and patented by r. Rice. of n. Y.
city. 1t will be Of great service to all
classes having machinery, buildings or
animals. which they desire engraved.
There can no inaccuracy result. a
prepared block Of the size desired can
be forwarded to any daguerrean artist.
and he can take photograph after the
animal or implement upon the block.
which, returned to the engraver. in
sures an accurate representation Of said
article or animal.

J.. B.

The President OF the United States.
James Buchanan, went 10 Washington
yesterday. after sojourn OF q week at
Whestland and its vicinity. We are
told that when he showed himself in
the streets of Lancaster. there was
none of the cordial greeting that might
be expected for President or a great
patriot. on returning TO visit old sc-
qnsintsnces. The people Of Lancaster
were very shy of him. When he went
to the county agricultural fair. he was
actually avoided by his fellow citizens.
Nobody ventnred to offer a hearty wei
come to him. either as resident OF
Lancaster or IS President Of the L. s.
There were prize horses and other cat
tie at the fair that were much more in
teresting. The Lancaster farmers ev-
identity thought that though they
could raise prize cattle. they had not
raised prize President.
Well. j. B. went home Yesterday,
from Lancaster to Washington. lie
stayed in Pennsylvania just long
enough to see and hear how the peo-
pie had voted. He heard before he
left that Lancaster. which Mr.. Van
Bnren usei to call 1.-THE only Demo
cratic city," had given over 800 ma
iority for the Peoples ticket. he car
ned with him the news of Pennsylva-
nia's fresh condemnation Of him and
his policy. As he travelled along
through Lancaster and York counties.
the telegraphic wires were flashing
along the story of the Democratic de-
feat in Buchanan's native State. He
carried along with him also the fact
that Pennsylvania had repndia;ei his
fsvorite Senator. William Bigler, who
has so shamefully misrepresen,ed
Pennsylvania during the las, few years.

encroschments OF disease. and in q

attention. How many times, during
the next five or six days of anguish
and suspense. did she steal away TO
some secluded place. and, bending
teariully in prayer. ask that her child
might not be taken from her.
oh! spare her, Heavenly Father
spare her this time! Do not take my
child and leave my heart borne down

This was the burden of her oft-re-
