New Article for n Bed,


New Article for a Bed.
We had an opportunity the other day of exam
lining model of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr.. Thomas Tolman, of fitchburgh,
Mass. and which is 50 highly recommended by
those who have used it in Lowell, Nashua
Fitchburgh etc. 1t looks like a first rate thing
Iii made somewhat on the principle of a pair of
bellows-air tight at the bottom, with the eXcep-
ton of holes with clappers" over them to
admit the air when the pressure is taken from the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by movement of persons sleeping.
the " clappers' close, and the air is forced out
through the upper part or - stufing'' of the bed,
which is porous, thus continually ventilatng it
and keeping it free from all impurities. The
upholstry is set upon spiral springs, braced so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
slip out of place and the filing is made of either
hair, moss, or prepared husks, as any one may
desire. 1t is certainly very perfect bed and its
invention reflects much credit upon the ingenuity
of Mr.. Tolman.
We are also gratiied to refer to a few of those
who have used these beds in St. Adams and vi
cinity, viz -

PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND GEN. SCOTT

PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND GEN. SCOTT.
$50 - = WASHINGTON, July "a.
The debate in the House to-day between
Messrs. Burnett Of Kentucky, Richardson
of Illinois, Blair of Missouri, and Stevens
of Pennsylvania, was highly exciting and
interesting. Mr.. Richardson concluded
his speech as follows:
81 repeat that General Scott has been
forced to fight this battle. will tell the
gentlemen what occurred yesterday morn
ing. My colleagues, Messrs. Logan and
Washburne and myself were present with
the President, the Secretary Of War, and
General Scott. In the course of our con-
versation Gen. Scott remarked " am the
biggest coward in the world" l rose
from my seat. Stay" said Gen. Scott,
II will prove it. have fought the bat
tie against my judgment, and l think
the President ought to remove me to-day
for doing it. CAS- God is my judge" he
added, after an interval of silence, IL
did all in my power to make the army
efficient, and deserve removal because !
did not stand up when could and did
not" l stand here to vindicate Gen.
Scott. l am indebted to the gentleman
from Missouri for the compliment he paid
me. ] desire to say for myself that /
stand here the last of generation, my
father and grand father having fallen be-
meath the flag of their country. l too
have fought under its folds at home and
abroad, and, God willing, will stand to
the end Of my life defending it against
all foes ~ ,t#
Mr. Washburne-As my colleague has
referred to Gen. SCOTS remarks, he might
allude to what the President said.
Mr.. Richardson will do so. "Your
conversation implies" said the President
to Gen. Scott, that forced you to bat
tie" TO which Gen. Scott replied, i
have never served under President who
has been kinder to me than you have been. -
But Gen. Scott did not relieve the Presi-
dent from the fact Of the latter having
forced him to fight the battle. Gen. Scott
thus paid compliment to the President
personally. II desire to say of the Pres
ident that have known him from boy
hood. If you let him alone he is an hon.
est man. Uaughter) But | am afraid
he has not the 6rmness to stand up against
the politicians around him.

WOOL IN NEW YORk

During the last month there has been
no particular change to notice in the
Wool market. The demand has contin-
ued for Domestic and Foreign Wools
suitable for army and navy purposes,
and considerable quantities, in the ag-
gregate, have been sold-in the future
there will be probably less inquiry
Prices have remained firm for these par
ticular grades Of Wool, and would have
advanced slightly if there had not been
some difficulty III passing paper, and the
sellers determined to make cash sales.
Medium and low medium Foreign Wools
have met with good demand, and old
lots have been sold at full rates, as the
stock has become very light. For car
pet manufacturers, low foreign Wools
have been in less request, and in the alb
sence of buyers prices are easier. The
mills have curtailed their productions to
considcra lie extent.
Some of the better class Of low Wools,
such as Cordova, fine Smyrna, ETC., are
being tried for army goods, and conse-
quently the prices are better sustained.
W near DuG lllllC VI IlC ICh I'll u uON
in progress-the indications are for
much lover prices than those Of last
year; all the duty upon Wool and
Woolens will not exercise any influence
on the prices in favor of the wool grower,
and especially in these times. Credit
has become very limited, and the facili
ties for buying for cash in the interior
are naturally interrupted. The number
of buyers will be, during the present
clip term, much smaller, and their orders
for purchasing Wool more limited than
heretofore, and at reduced rates. The
European markets are suffering, too, by
our political affairs and war against re-
bellion, and will no doubt feel the ef-
fects much more in month or two
Atpresent, prices Of all good-conditioned
Woods have been sustained, and some of
the more desirable medium kinds have
improved slightly. In wasty and poor
kinds there has been a dccline-in some

LEBANON, June ], 1861.
Editor Tezcyaph-The citizens Of
Lebanon called 4 meeting a few weeks
psince, for the purpose of organizing a
Home Guard" \ large number of our
people patriotically responded to the call
The meeting was organized by calling
Rev. D. c. Topping to the Chair. and by
appointing Y. y. Walker Secretary.
Addresses full Of genuine patriotism
were made by the Chairman and others,
while the committee appointed for that
purpose, were drafting q plan for per-
manent organization. After the COM
mittee reported, an opportunity was
offered to those present to become mem
bers of the Lebanon Home Guards, -
and siirty members were Immediately en-
rolled.
At subsequent meeting of the
Guards Il committee consisting of j. IL i.
Gale, Il. W. Browning, Tunis Middle
swart, John Anderson and J. T. Mid
dleswart, reported the following resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Rcsolccd, That we, the citizens Of Lcb-
anon Township, do pledge our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor, to sus-
tain the Constitution of the United
States.
Rcsolccd, That so far as our influence
extends, the Union shall be transmitted
to posterity as we received it from our
forefathers.
Rcsozced, That we will neither buy or
sell, trade or traffic, with any person IA
voring secession, in any manner what
ever.
Resozred, That VIC will use all lawful
means to protect ourselves, while in the
discharge Of our duties as citizens or sol
diers.
The following report Of the meeting
held at Portland to-day, (June 1st,)
called to hear an address from your
townsman, II. 3. Smith, Esq, we take
from the Secretary's record of the pro
ceedings:
LEBANON, June 1, 1861.
In accordance with previous notice,
the people of Lebanon turned out en-
masse at the Chapel a Portland, to listen
to an address upon the ',crisis, from H.
B. Smith, Of Pomeroy. For two and a
half hours they were richly entertained
by a most eloquent and patriotic speech.
1t does seem, that any man, who, after
listening to the arguments Of Mr.. S., can
favor or sympathize with the traitors,
must be utterly devoid Of both patriotism
and honor.
After the address, the Home Guards
were made the recipients Of a beautiful
flag. The flag was presented by Mrs.
DR.. Hayworth, who delivered very neat
and patriotic address, which was re-

tones Of thunder, for the preservation
and pcrpetua ton Of our glorious Union.
