pURE COLD WATER.
The Best and Cheapest Pump nolo IN use.
s. G.. NJ As son
DoUBLE-ACTING NoN-FREEZING
CAST-IRON FORCE. PUMP.


This Pump has been awarded the PIRST PRE-
MUM at the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva-
MIA State Fairs.
This Pump never freezes, from the fact that the
moment yor stop pumping, the water gradually
drops back to q level with the water in the we'll;
consequently you always get PURE COLD
WATER. Jt will force water any distance through
pipe, and in case Of FIRE, is valuable, as water
may be thrown 10 the distance Of from fifty to
sixty feOt from its mouth, by attaching or four
feet of small hose 1t is DOUBLE ACTING,
and can be worked with ease. 1t is just the
thing to wash wagons, buggies, and water gar
dens, &c, ana every farmer and mechanic should
have one Of these pumps. As for Health, this
Pump has been pronounced by our leading Ply
sicians as being one Of the very best pumps now
in use. Il is generally known that wooden pumps
hold the water in the STALK and Of course It tastes
more OF less Of the wood. This Pump leaves ali
the water drop back just as soon as you stop
pumping, to the level Of the water in the veil.
So you get PURE COLD WATER from the bot
tom Of the well every time you draw bucket
full. There are about 90 Of these pumps now in
use in this county, for one and two years, and
they have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not
one Of these has frozen since they have been put
in. For reference I give some of the very
best men IN our town and county. Call and see
this pump work before purchasing any other.

METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL VETOED
Much to the surprise Of large number
of the members Of the Legislature, the Gov
ernor returned to the Senate on Thursday
morning the Metropolitan Police Bib with
out his approval. The veto message ae-
eompanying it is quite lengthy, and is re
iteration Of nearly all the Democratic and
aud other arguments that have been em-
ployed against it for the past two years.
The Indignation of some Republican mem
bers Of the Legislature hardly knows bounds
especially those from the city of Philadel
phia. Others, more moderate, content
themselves with the remark that IL is an
unfortunate veto The Democrats are, Of
course, jubilant This bill was considered
one Of the most important measures of the
session, and il has certainly been defeated
in quite an unexpo ted way. There is how
ever one fact very significant, that the
course of Gov. Geary in this matter will
meet with severe censure from many Repub-
ieans, but viii receive the unanimous ap-
proval of the Democratic party in Pennsyl-
vania.

A CoNTEMPTIBLE AcT.-In 1866 the
Tennessee Legislature ordered the por.
trait of Gen. GEO. II. THOMAS painted
ard placed in the state library, aud also
voted him a medal. These testimonials
of respect and esteem FOR the hero and
savior of Nashville were eminently fit
ting and proper, and were recognized as
good evidence that treason had given
place to loyalty in the state of TENNESSEE.
But it was reserved for the legislature of
1869 to turn the wheel backward, and
render itself infamous by ordering the
removal of the portrait from the state Ii.
brary. Gen. Thomas has written let
ter, offering to refund the cost CT pain
ting the portrait, and with that nice sense
of honor which has ever distinguished
him, he has also proposed to return to
the state of Tennessee the medal it so
freely voted him three years ago. A
meaner or more contemplate exhibition
of Southern sentiment than this action
of the Tennessee Legislature has never
come to light. Gen. THOMAS is the idol
of our army and the pride of every 10y
al heart. He has never mingled in poll
tics-his post has been a post of dan
ger-his duty, the duty of soldier
tried and true, and every insult given
him by the southern chivalry will but
heap Goals of fire upon their own heads.
1t is no political revenge. that has dicta
ted the step on the part of the honora-
bic body but stands simply as an ex-
preston of that vindictive spirit which
underlies the loyalty of ESQ called) recon
structed rebels.
