HRsteIbenyille RS,6S relates how. an
elderly gentleman was confidenced out of
5000 on the C..& P. Railroad, about 80
miles above that city, last Thursday, by q
young gentleman who eonfdinglyrelated
hoyfhe had had % lotofgoods damaged
en- route between Baltimore and Wheel

press to some way station On the P. Ft.
W. & Chicago. Presently chap pur.
porting to be the, express agent came
along, and asking "it those goods in the
express car" belonged to the young
man, sand receiving an affirmative reply
demanded the. charges namounting to
$500. The proprietor OF the goods had
nothing but specie 70 PAY, with; the ex5
press agent would not allow any premium
onit, and finally, after an angry dispute,
heoferedit to the Old gent dollar for dollar
for currency, rather than give It TO the
agent THE exchange was made, the
charges paid, and they. m.swent forward
to get receipt, OF course the gold was
counterfeit, and, Of course neither Of the
rascals was seen afterwards.

The report of the Judiciary Committee
Of the New York legislature, showing
the evidence taken before the committee
touching the official conduct OF the
Judges, Barnard and Carloza, shows so
oonclnsvely that the administration OF
these judges has been corrupt, that they
have interpreted The laws in favor Of
personal and political friends, regardless
Of established principles or of decisions
which had acquired tho authority Of the
law, that the press regardless OF party
affiliations or interests, are calling for
their impeachment " hen the Julicla-
ry stoop to be the instruments Of any
class of men, particularly such as dn,

j. an end to that security which the gov
eminent owes to every citizen who rem.
dcrs his allegiance and performs its du,

legislature owes it To itself to the people,
and to good government, to bring these
men to trial upon tho charges which,
according to tins report, seem to be es-
Ablishcd beyond successful controversy.

much larger aud better works than those
lust burned down. Finding we had not
sufficient time before Winter set III to
complete such works as we desired to
build, we concluded to rebuild temporarily
on our old site, in order to make supply
of machines in season. These temporary
works, though serving good purpose at
present, will have to be taken down at the
close Of the season, and ere that time ar
rives we intend to have completed an IN

where we can buill as largely as the
market demands Heretofore, in manutac

limited capacity Of the factory Our new
works will enable US to meet all demands.

GARpEy SEEDS, Vivian offers a new
thing in the market. Satisfied that the
prices charged for seeds in the west are and
have been too high and that too, for seeds
which the commission men have handled
over and over, some perhaps for ten years
or more, he has bought his seeds directly
from the great .eced Farm. of I.andreth
Son, near Philadelphia. This house does
not commission seeds but sells directly,
consequently the seeds bought each year
are fresh and Of the prior years growth
The Doctor buying directly is enabled to
under sell all commission seeds and at the
same time can warrant that his seeds art
all fresh. He sells at the low price OF five
cents per paper. As this price leaves a
very small margin, he trusts to his large
sale to rcmunerate him. Small profits and
quick returns is his motto. We would
advise all who have gardens to call and get
copy of Landrcth's Rural Register,
giving description of seeds and directions
for their cultivation. IL is furnished

What is Dirt I!

Old DR.. Cooper, of South Carolina, used
to say to his students, &" What is dirt?-
Don't be afraid of a little dirt, young men.
What is dirt a? Why, nothing at all often
sive, when chemically viewed. Rub lit
tie alkali upon that dirty grease-pot on
your coat, and it undergoes chemical
change and becomes soap; now rub it with
a little water and it disappears; it is neith-
er grease, soap, water, nor dirt. That is
not very odorous pile of dirt you observe
there; well, scatter, little gypsum over
it, and it is no longer dirty. Everything
you call dirt is worthy your notice as STU
dents of chemistry. Analyze it-analyze
it! 1t will all separate into very clean ele
ments. Dirt makes corn, corn makes
bread and meat, and that makes a very
sweet young lady that l saw one of you
kissing last night. So, after all, you were
kissing dirt-particularly if she whitened
her skin with chalk or Fuller s-earth.-
There is no telling, young gentlemen, what
is dirt. Though may say that rubbing
such stuff upon the beautiful skin of a
yonng lady is a dirty practice. Pearlpow-
der, think, is made of Misunderstanding
but dirt"
