New and Improved water power.

We take pleasure in bringing to the attention
of mers, and others interested in the subject the
new and improved water wheel, invented by Mr..
ID. Il. Glen, Of Warren county. He has Just erected
one Of these wheels in the mill of Mr. Henry Hot
tel, near this place, the operation (which we had
the pleasure OF Witnessing on Tuesday last. The
plan upon which it is constructed is exceedingly
simple, and its motive power superior any wheel
ever introduced in this country. 1t is about four
feet in diameter, and is attached horizontally TO
perpendicular shaft, thus avoiding the friction ne
cessarily resulting from the heavy shafts, long
arms, and heavy gudgenns Of the wheels common
ly found in our mills and factories. You do not
see the motion OF this little Wheel as it revoves in
its box, but the foaming alter and the rapid but
regular motion OF the machinery attached to it as
sures YOU that it is there. 1t requires about one
fourth the water consumed by the old long-armed
wheels, and its motion is more uniform and regu-
lar AS compared with the old ponderous wheels
in use generally, this is emphatically ''Littie
Charlottesville to the eye, but wonderful in the
manifestation Of its power. When the merits of
this improved wheel shall become generally I'M
derstood and appreciated by millers and others
who are interested, it must supersede the ponder
Gus wheels now in use. 1t is only necessary that
they should examine this wheel, and witness its
motive power, 10 be convinced of its superior
laims

schenck's Seaweed Tonic.

This medicine, invented by DR.. j. H. ScHENcK,
OF Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve the food
and make it into chyme, the first process of indi-
gestion. BY cleansing the stomach with Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appe-
tte and food that could not be eaten before using
it will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Scnenck $
Pulnonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is
made healthy and the appetite restored, hence the
Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every case
of consumption half dozen bottles of the SEA
WEED TONIC and three or four boxes of the
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure an ordinary case
of dyspepsia.
DR.. SCHENCK makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and and at his principal Office in
Philadelphia every week. See daily papers of
each place, or his pamphlet on consumption for
his days for visitation.

on so much thereof as shall remain unpaid.
Where the debt OF interest thereon does
not become payable until after the first

sixty-six, interest from the time of pay
ment, or from the time from which inter-
est is payable, shall be paid on the said

cover it by motion, on twenty days no.
tice, before any court Or justice having

security shall be taken under such execu-
ton, and the same shall be endorsed ac-
cordingly by the clerk or justice issuing
