Wonderful Cure Of a Lifelong Cripple.

The Madison wis. Journal tells marvel
Gus story of the manner in which a gentle
man residing in Beloit wss cured of lame
ness. From his birth his right hip had been
out of place, 50 that his right leg was sever
al inches shorter than the left and it was only
by wearing very thick sOled shoe that he
was able TO limp about. When fatigued he
was accustomed to feel great pain in his hip.
Two or three month ago he was in Chicago
attending to some business matters which
kept him for several weeks. He attended
the religious meetings, becoming very
deeply interested in the subject
One Saturday, suffering from severe pain
in his hip, he called upon a surgeon to have
it examined, and to ascertain whether some
thing could not be done to alleviate the
pain. Some interruption occurred, however,
so that the examination was postponed, until
the following Monday. That night, after go
ing to bed, the pain continuing, it occurred
to him, whether or not, if he asked in the
proper spirit, some Divine assistance might
be vouched, as in the old time when the
prophets an6 apostles walked the earth. He
arose from his bed, procured light and, tax
ing his Bible, opened by chance to a chapter
| in the New Testament where Christ miracu-
| lonsly healed lame nam. After reading it,
he proceeded 10 invoke, in an earnest prayer,
some similar intervention in his own behalf,
and then feeling greatly cheered and support
| ed by trust in the Divine benefcence, he
! again retired to rest and soon fell asleep
/ During the night he dreamed that Christ
/ came to him accompanied by a surgeon,
the same upon whom he had called during
! the day. The surgeon examined his hip and
told him it could be relieved, but only by an
operation. To this he raised some objection,
desiring that it should be postponed, but the
surgeon seemed suddenly to seize and over
power him, and with some instrument laid
open his hip to the bone, and arranged the
Joint in its place. During the operation he
had the impression of suffering a severe ply
sical pain, as if really under the knife of a
surgeon. After it. be had no further remem-
branee OF anything until morning. Upon
rising he found to his utter astOnishmsnt not
only that bis short leg was heightened out SO
as to be even with the other, and his hip all
right, but that he could walk without limp
ing or inconvenience. He walked about the
room several times, then put on his clothes
and ran up and down stairs to assure himself
that he was awake and no longer lame man,
but sound and whole. His joy and gratitude
cannot well be described. He Immediately
discarded the boot with the false sole, which
: had hitherto been necessity and put on
pair that were mates. His leg was still weak
yet though limping slightly from long habit
he could walk as straight as any other mar
when he chose. 1t has since grown stronger
and his general health very materially i'm
proved. he, of course, considered the cure
direct answer to his supplications.

Senator Wade returned to Ohio last eve
ming, after having fulfilled all his engage
ments in this State, and will proceed immedi-
ately to Pennsylvania, there to continue his
gallant struggle for the redemption of the
country from the corrupt and donoralizing
rule of the pro-slavery Democracy. During
his short stay in this State, Senator Wade
has added largely to the high opinion of
Michigan already entertained of his ability,
and the great admiration they entertained
for his character. He has also largely in
creased the number of his friends. And well
be deserved to have done so. His eloquence,
boldness and straightforward, manly, gallant
bearing, have told with mighty effect upon
the public mind, whenever he has spoken
Here, at Surgis, at Niles, and at Kalamazoo,
his speeches have been listened to by tens of
thousands, and have everywhere produced a
deep and lasting impression. A more noble
hearted, gallant, and earnest Republican does
not live then B. F. Wade. The Republicans
of Michigan will long remember with graft
tude and pleasure his visit to our State and
the valuable service he has rendered the Re-
publicans here.-Detroit Advertiser.

Back-set to OH Wen specuIatOrs.

We learn by the Pittsburgh Chronicle that
latS. intelligence rom the oil districts reveals
the fact that the celebrated Tideout well
stopped flowing over the top after throwing out
some two hundred barrels. A pump has been
inserted, and the well is now yielding some
thirty barrels day. The famous Crosbey
well has dwindled down from seventy barrels
a day to six or seven, but the owner thinks
the failure is attributable to the filing of the
puup, and hopes to do better when it is
cleaned. Out of two hundred and sixty-seven
wells on the creek above Titusvile, only
thirty-four a-e yet pumping oil, and many
Of the Ofl-seekers are just now in state Of
very anxious suspense.

During the Illinois State Fair at Jackson
vile Fawke's Steam Plow was again submit
ted to a practical test in forty acre field,
and proved bad failure. It was tested last
year at the Freeport Fair, and it was thought
its failure then could be remedied by some
Improvement of the machinery. Alterations
and improvements were made in Cincinnati,
but perfection has not been attained. 0fthe
performance at Jacksonville the correspond
ent of the Press writes:
Mr.. Fawkes began plowing at II o'clock,
drawing six plows; steam $50 degrees; ran
IA minutes; stopped steam at 80; stopping
10 minutes; started again, ran the whole Of
one minute, and actually plowed 456 yards
burrows six and one-half feet wide; stopped;
started again: steam l30 deg; rau one min
ute stopped; steam at 100.
Now whatever elements Of success there
may be in this steam plow, we certainly have
not seen any results from it, and we certainly
consider that this days trial is a complete
failure. under the peculiar circumstances, of
which circumstances every one connected
with the Agricultural Society IS well aware.

APntenr Gov Mixer.

Among the lsbor-savers on exhibition at
the National Fair, Cincinnati, is Kershaw &
Colvin's Patent Cow Mixer, the invention Of
Mr.. L. 0. Colvin, of Cortland county, New
York. This mixer is being used by D. B.
Kershaw, On his dairy farm near Philadel.
phia, who milks one hundred cows with it
every day. 1t has been tested by several
dairymen who pronounce it a success. The
Mixers are manufactured in Philadelphia,
and sold at $40 each.
As this is an invention of interest to null
titudes, we append the Commercials descrip-
ton oft:
The machine is built on the principle of a
remitting suction, in imitation of the natural
suction of the calf 1t has two separate sue
ton pumps attached, which work so easily
that child ten or twelve years old can easily
use it. 1t milks all four teats at once, the
four clasps opening like so many little
mouths, and fitting as neatly as so many lit
tie tongues, and these are so hinged on that
they will adjust themSelUes to suit the capac-
ity of the COW, whether she is large or small,
fat or lean. 1t is composed of tin, zinc and
india-rubber, and is fastened on to the edge
of the bucket, into which the milk flows
The two handles lay across the top Of the
bucket when it is not in use, but when be-
ing used, the handles move horizontally, like
the opening and shutting Of pair Of common
shears.
The model we examined was attached to a
tin pail that would hold about twelve quarts,
and the machine, pail and all only weighs
about six and half pounds. It IS simple,
compact and durable, and another fact which
is not the least among its excellent qualities,
is that of its being so easily taken apart,
washed and put together again.
We saw it taken of of the bucket, separa-
ted into some half dozen pieces, and recon
structed and all in about the same length Of
time that it takes you to read about its be-
ing done. It usually milks about four quart:
a minute, but will work even faster than
that. At this rate if you have ten COWS tc
milk, and they each give ten quarts you could
milk them all in less than half an hour
Those who have seen it work, say that the
COWS remain more quiet while being milkeC
in this way, than when MIXED by hand, a
there is little or no pressure that can possibly
give them pain.
If the cow should start it will not stick t.
her, because the moment the mixer ceases t
press on the handles, the machine is entirel.
loose.

SPURIOUS AMERICAN WATCHES.

SPURIOUS AMERICAN WATCHES.
We are credibly informed that some of the Jewellers
Of Cleveland and other places are selling counterfeit
American Watches, for the genuine article, manu-
factured at waltham, Mass, and particularly for
eign imitation Of our watch, named P S. Barley,
which is represented to be manufactured in Hartford,
Conn. 1t may be Of service to the public to be in
formed that there is no mandatory Of watches in
that place. The genuine article Of one grade Of
watches is named P. S. BARTLETT, wALTHAM, MASS,
and all our watches OF every grade are marked
'sWalthaHi, Mas"
It is hardly necessary to state that such watches
are like ours in FORM only, and are made upon the
same old system that has already flooded the country
with watches that are not only vexatious and
slant source Of expense, but really useless to the
owners and when bought for genuine are calculated
to iniure the high reputation which our watches
have attained. We therefore caution the public
against buying our watches from any person who
cannot furnish certificate Of genuineness Tor every
watch offered for sale, bearing the number Of the
watch and the signature of the Treasurer Of the
Company, R. E. Robbins. We also beg to inform
those who deal in the spurious article, that legal
proceedings will be Instituted against them, upon
any well authenticated instance Of their selling
counterfeit or colorado imitation of any Of our pro-
ducts. For the American Wateh 20,

The Coal OIL Business.


The n Y. World devotes an interesting
article to Coal Oil aud the manufactures con-
nected with it. The manufacture was COM
meuced no longer ago than 1853 by New
York Company working under the &" Ker-
osene' patents which were granted to chem
ist OF that city, and now the World gives 3
list of fity-seven Coal Oil Companies and
firms, not more than ten of which were in
operation previous to 1856. Nor does the
list comprise a number of small coal oil
works in Philadelphia, Baltimore and the
Western cities, owned by individuals. The
World says:
The quantity Of coal oil produced is esti-
mated to be thirty thousand gallons per day,
or nine million gallons per year. COmpeti-
ton having reduced the price from Sl.25 per
gallen to 20 cents per gallon; many Of the
works mentioned above have been closed,
but the supply has been more than sustained
by the petroleum wells, whose products have
been put into market with great rapidity.-
The capital already expended in coal oil works
and camel coal mines, is estimated at nearly
S4, 900, 900. Three of the largest companies
have expended fully 81, 100000 in the sea-
board states, and $3.50, 900 has been invested
in the Ksnawha valley alone. Parafine, a
beautiful, waI-like product incidental to the
manufacture of coal oil, is now made into
candles by two companies in this city, and
will most probably becomes a regular article
of commerce.
The manufacture Of coal oil lamps, q
branch of the lamp trade which has resulted
from the use of the oil, forms greater part
of the business Of fsiIteen manufacturing COM
panies, who employ
COO men in making burners,
600 men in making brass work in stand,
$50 men in making vases,
700 men in making glass bowls, shades, &c,
200 women and boys in making paper shades,
200 women and boys in making brushes,
and furnish work for I25 looms in making
coal oil lamp-wicks.
The lamps are sold for So, so per dozen to
500 per dozen; the greater part are disposed
of at 81 to So per Dozen
The designs for paper and glass shades and
| fountains are as numerous as those Of the
lamps, which number $50 varieties in the
classes Of stand, bracket hanging, and side
lamps The style of these lamps has been
much improved lately, and they now are as
well made, and as rich and beautiful in sp-
| pearance, as most of the candelabra imported
| from abroad.

WARNING TO oSLAvBHoLDERs.-The Memphis
Appeal cautions the police of that city to be
vigilant in regard to the movements and ma
noavres Of the slave population in Memphis.
Rumors Of insurrectionary eHettes have
already come from the States of Texas,
Alabama, and Georgia. The Mississippi
papers, too, are calling upon the people to be
watchful and adopt a stricter system Of regime
over their slaves. The Pamela Miss Star,
in allusion to this matter, says that drunken
negroes may be seen at almost every meet
ing, and are quite plentiful upon the high
ways on Sundays.
