POLITICAL.
The Exodus of The FOsterites.

AzS I'm OGGsS Oh SRe EOStCEAtcS.
We clip the following sarcastic and
palpable p~araphrase from the Daily Meas
and commend it to our readers as also a
perfect specimen of wit and wisdom:
Now it came to pass in the year eigh-
teen hundred and sixty, which was the
fourth year of James the Fourth, that
there arose in the Keystone State a man
named Foster, who in his conceit aspired
TO be ruler of the State.
Now Foster was a babbler and foolish
of speech, and his words were like sound
ing brass and tiukling cymbals.
Nevertheless, as he was a Douglasite,
and a prophet in his W country, (albeit
he was a false prophct,) he drew many
people after him.
And Foster went about from place to
place cxhorting the people to the end
that he might become ruler over them.
Now there was a man of Centre, whose
name was Curtin--a Lipcolnite, and a
man of mighty power and the Lincoln
ties said among themselves This man
shall rule ever US, and we will have him
for our Governor.
And Curtin also exhorted the people.
And it came to pass that the Douglas
ties and the Lincolnites met together to
hear their chosen leaders speak to the
people, and exhort them to remain firm
10 the faith.
And Foster spake for the space of an
hour and forty minutes.
And when he had made an end of
speaking Curtin arose and spake with
great power, and moreover read and ex-
pounded the epistle Of, the Collec-
tor.
And when Foster heard it he was sore
afraid and was troubled within him.
And it came to pass that Curtin OBJ
tanned favor in the eyes of the people but
Foster went away discomfttcd.
And there were giants in those days,
(alboit they were little giants.)
And they waxed fat and presumpuous
and did boast that Foster should prevail
over Curtin.
And the Fosterites and Douglasites did
bring offerings Of gold and silver and
musical instruments from afar off, yea,
even a mock sun, to give light by night,
that they might tempt men to follow af-
ter Foster.
And many false prophets went about
the country exhorting to the same erd.
And it came to pass in the tenth month
and the ninth day of the month, that the
DouglasiteS and the Fosterites gathered
themselves together for battle.
And about the eigth hour the Lincoln
It's fell upon them and smote them hip
and thigh, the Douglasites, the Bellies
and the Clear Greeks.
And they fed before the hosts of Cur
tin ami his hosts, and took ship up the
river, yea even the river Of Salt.
And 1T came to pass when Foster saw
and heard these things he lifted up his
voice and wept.
And as they ~journeyed up the river
they chaunted IN the h~eaviness Of their
hearts
Oh, Fosters heart is broke,
Oh, Foster don't you cry, &c.

are fully prepared to execute all orders for
Miniature Licensees Of Persons on China,
presenting all the attractive and advantageous
features of ordinary photographs, the b%rillian-
cy and finish Of a water-cOlor drawing, ana a
hitherto unattained quality of durability, by
being rendered as imperishable as the natural
properties of the articles upon which they are
transferred.
As the patented process of the Company
enables the reproduction Of Photographs, not
only on plain surfaces, but upon such as are
round or of any degree of irregularity-por-
traits can be reproduced with f~aultless accu-
racy, and d~clicacy of delineation, upon Por-
celain wares of any description and dimension
used as articles of luxury or Of household
utility, such as
URNS, VASES, BREAKFAST CUPS, TOILET
ARTICLES, &C.;
thereby securing faithful portraits and furnish
ing a unique and exquisite sytle OF ornamen-
tation of articles in domestic use.
In order to furnish facilities for the gratifi-
cation of the popular taste, and to meet the
wants Of those patrons of the Fine Arts de-
sirous of having Portraits on Porcelain, the
Company have imported from Europe a col
lection of superior porcelain goods, manufac-
tured to their own order, which they sell at
cost prices.
As the American Company are owners of
the patent right, and consequently the only
persons authorized to use the process, they
have determined, in order

SENATOR SEWARD AND THE PRINCE
OF WALES.-The New York EUenjuq
Post says =" Among the guests assem-
bled to meet Baron Renfew and his suite
at the residence of Governor Morgon, on
Tuesday evening last, was Senator Sew
ard, This was the first occasion of their
meeting on this side Of the Atlantic. 1t
is not generally known that to the Sena-
tor from New York more than to any one
else, probably, does Lord Renfew owe
whatever pleasure he has received from
this visit, for it was mainly at his sug-
gestion and under his advice as to its gen
eral method Of prosecution, that the
Queens Government was induced to make
the experiment, which has proved SO
gratifying to both nations, and which
promises such important results.
No doubt the meeting at Governor
Morgan's table was a source of increased
pleasure to Lord Renfew, from the cir
cumstance to which we have alluded.
The result has fully indicated Senator
Stewards sagacity in proposing, the ex-
petition to the Princes friends, and his
judgment as to the proper mode of pros
ecuting it in the United States. Indeed
it may be doubted whether this last may
not in the end prove one of the most sub
s%tantial public services that the Senator
has ever rendered to his country"

UMPIRE BLOOD!

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is
at once distributed to every organ of the
body. Every nerve feels the poison, and all
the vital organs quickly complain. The stOm-
ach will not digest the food perfectly. The
liver ceases to secrete a sufficiently of bile.
The action of the heart is weakened, and SO
the circulation is feeble. The lungs become
clogged with the poisonous matter hence, 8
cough--and all from a slight impurity at the
fountain-head Of life-the Blood AS if you
had thrown some earth, for instance, in a
pure spring, from which ran a tiny %rivulet, in
q few minUles the whole coarse of the stream
becomes disturbed and discolored. As quick
ly does impure blood fly to every part, and
leave its sting behind. All the passages be-
obstructed, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but
regenerate all the secretiOns Of the body they
are therefore, unrivalled as Il
Cure FOR BILIOUS DISEASES,
Liver Complaint. Sick Headache, &c. This
Ambitious Medicine expels from the blood,
the hidden seeds of disease, and renders all
the fluids and secretionS pure and fluent,
clearing and resuscitating the vital organs.
Pleasant indeed, is it to US, that we are
able TO place within your reach, a medicine
like the " Mountain Herb Pills, that will pass
to the afflicted parts, through the
and fluids Of the body, and cause the
sufferer to brighten with the flush of beauty
and health.
Pills are the Best Remedy IN e1-,
tstence for the tollowinq Complaints:
Bowel Complaints, Debility, Inward Weak
ness, Coughs, Colds, Chest Diseases, CostiEe--
ness, Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Dropsy, Head
aches, Indigestion, Influenza, Inflammation
Piles, Stone and Gravel, Secondary SymP-
toms.

RICH.-A few days since an extra
train loaded with jackasses was trans
ported over the Louisville and New Al
bany Railroad. The telegraphic opera.
tor at Salem, a boy, getting wind of it,
set afoat a rumor that a large delegation
of Democrats would pass through at a
certain hour. Rumor increasing as it
few, said that many eminent speakers
were abroad, and that bands of music ac-
companied the expedition. Immense
crowds of enthusiastic Douglas men re-
paired to the depot, hats in hand, ready
for the expected cheers. When the train
Numbered in and an aged and venerable
owner of a pair of fabulous ears stuck his
head out of a stock car and gave vent to
a long agonizing hee,haw that fairly
shook the hills around; CONSERVATION
seized the crowd, and in two minutes not
a Democrat was to be seen within a mile
of the depot. Complaint has been made
to the Superintendent against the opera
tor, and he Is in momentary expectation
of a notice to quit.

MISS H. NJ. JONES,
The ULYSSES ACADEMY was commenced
in the spring of 1859 and opened to students
the following September. Its object is to af-
ford to the youth of its vicinity, and to others
who may choose it, as a place of study, the
requisite facilities for obtaining a thorough
and practical education.
The school is in a neat, two-story building,
beautifully situated on a gentle eminence
commanding a view of the village and coun-
try around. The adjoining yard contains
about three acres. The upper story contains
a single room and is used for a chapel. reel
tation, and study room. This room is ) lighted
by IA large windows, furnished with seats for
$50 scholars, tables, black boards, maps,
charts, clock, thermometer, and Library Of
Reference Books. The lower story contains
two rooms for recitations, one for library, a
dressing room, and a hall 8 by a feet.
The students board in private families and
study in their own rooms. Nearly every fam
lily in the village open their houses to boarders
AS several new houses are being erected,
there will be no lack of accommodations
and, in private families, students can enjoy
the comforts of home.
E@ This Institution is better furnished
with maps, charts and Reference Books than
any similar institution in the country. The
Library of Reference contains over 40 VOL
umes, costing about $500 a vol. Among
them are APPLETON'S NEW AMERICAN
ENCYCLOPEDIA, 9 vols. THE HOME CYCLIC
PEDIA, 8 vols. &c. There is a general Ii
brary under the care of a Librarian and a
Teachers Library containing 25 vols, upon

and enjoyment of its privileges, imply a sa-
cred contract on their part promptly to OBJ

is indispensable to continuance in the ~Institu-
