FJHE essential feature in these cans, is this, a
| i simple substitute for solder is absorbed in
paper, or its equivalent, and placed between the
top of the can and the cap that covers the hole,
and pressed upon the top by a springing wire,
thus causing the tin above and below to yield
together and to retain the cement, which melts by
the heat of the fruit in the can.
This simple soldering can be performed in an
instant by any person.
An entire revolution in Self-Sealing is at once
apparent to all who see this STRANGE SIM
PLICITY.
The inventors of all other Patent Cans are
challenged to produce its equal for SAFETY
OR CHEAPNESS OF CONSTRUCTION.
Having at considerable cost, procured the
right 10 manufacture and sell these cans in the
State of Maryland, and the exclusive right there
to in the City and County of Baltimore and in
the counties Of Hartford and Cecil all persons
are hereby cautioned against any infringement
of these rights.
Extra Sealing rings for further USE can be had
at all times, of all who keep these cans for sale,
at cent each.
DIRECTIONS FOR SEALING.-Seal the cans as
soon as the fruit is put in. Fill the can within
an inch of the top, wipe the top clean before
putting on the seal, and do not move them till
cold.
Open the Can by inserting thin knife blade
under the cap of the can, after having first
slightly warmed it by the fire or stove.
This Can having been brought as nearly as
possible to perfection, supercedes the use of all
Others almost entirely, wherever introduced.
Merchants and Others are respectfully solicited
to send in their orders.

DIED,

In Havre de Grace, on Thursday, June 2lst,
1866, of consumption, ELLA j., second daugh-
ter OF VIM. F. and Eleanor L. Evans, in the 10th
year of her age
Her Affections were long and painful. The
disease being of very lasting nature, her friends
hoped she might be spared to them for months
and perhaps for years longer; but when the re-
ality flashed upon them tEat they were so soon
TO be called TO give her up, with aching hearts
ami streaming eyes they could but say, ttNot
our will, but Thine be DONE oh ! our Father
and our God" She suffered nearly two years,
and when visited by her friends, relatives and
schoolmates, she always met them with smile;
always cheerful, never murmuring at the hand
of Him who had laid the affection upon her,
She knew well the nature Of her disease. But
few short months had passed since she had seen
her eldest and beloved brother fade as leaf under
the same disease, and pass away from earth-
She knew too well that she would soon follow
him; and rs she felt her bodily strength fading,
she made it her all-important business to be pre-
pared to meet her God. She often spoke of her
dissolution with calmness and great composure
of mind, and when the last hour came being
perfectly conscious Of all around her, calling her
dearest friends to her bedside taking each one
by the hand, bidding them an aGfectonate fare
well, telling them to weep rot for her, she would
soon be at rest. She said, ~ die trusting in the
Lord" and almost with the words upon her
lips, and with her head on her mothers bosom,
as the sun was about shedding his last rays on
the tree-tops, SO calmly and peacefully sank our
young friend to rest. May those who are left to
mourn her loss, find so peaceful m hour in which
to die.
Sweet friend, thou hast faded
AS fade the frail flowers,
When autumn invaded
The valley of ours.
No rose that we cherished
With care on its bougl,
Dropped, faded and persisted
AS quickly as thou.
Thine eye lost its brightness
Thy cheek lost its bloom,
Thy form lost its lightness,
And soon, in the tomb,
With clay for thy pillow,
And turf for thy breast,
Beneath the green cedar
They laid thee to rest.
All nature seems blended
With sorrow and gloom,
Since thou hast descended
To rest i'll thy tomb;
Her zephyrs are signing,
Her roses are shed,
For Ella is lying
In peace with the dead
But why should our bosoms
With sorrow be rven,
For one of earths blossoms
Transplanted in heaven?
The saints gather round her,
In garments Of white,
And Jesus hath crowned her
An CANCEL light"
Oh there we shall meet her,
When lifes dreams are DER,
And joyfully greet her
With loved words once more

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
decides that farmers, as veil as others, who
produce cheese to the annual valae of ST.
600, must take license as manufacturers,
(sIo). This rule will reach large class
OF farmers who have supposed themselves
exempt from license duty. 1t follows that
those who manufacture butter to the same
value. (I,o0o) must be subject to like
license, as the reasoning in support of the
rule applies as well TO the product of butter
as that of cheese.
