And being the only Registering Gauge
now Manufactured

and offered to the public, filling the require
ments of said rules and regulations, we, the IN
derSigned, respectfully call your attention to the
fact that we are the sole owners of the right to
manufacture and vend said Gauges, and are now
ready to I'LL orders therefor in any required num-
Der and pressure. We warrant these Gauges TO
be OF superior workmanship, and 10 have been
tested by a Standard Mercury Column before
leaving the factory.
This Gauge is specially adapted for application
to all bOIlersin use for land purposes, it being
the first invention in the history of the world
brought out st any time for the purpose of regis
tering steam; thus giving to all parties who are
using steam for land purposes, not only pTOtee-
ton to life, but absolute protection to property;
atfOTding positive knowledge as ts whether their
boiler, under excessive pressure, has at any time
been strained, which no steam gauge now in use
except this has been able to give. Parties who
are using steam can readily appreciate its i'm
pUrtance, and cordially invite all such to call
upon our Agent, who will be happy to show them
the Register and its operation under pressure.
In proof of their merit we insert the following
testimony:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %, 1SI1.-Rear,
Admiral John A. Dahlgren, U. s. N, Command
ant-Sir: In obedience to your instructions of the
18th inst, have examined and tested the Regis
tering Steam Gauges invented by Mr.. Z. CLARK,
and respectfully report that it is exceedingly
simple in its construction, certain in its action,
reliable in its indications, and liable to little or
arrangement. l think the device complete
fer the purpose intended to be accomplished.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,

One Hundred and Sevenl

Al The Greeley Club started here last Tues
day evening, it was reported by the engineers
OF the movement that one hundred and seven
voters had joined. This is not surprising. con-
'sidering that it is less than the regular Demo-
'eratic strength of our town, and that some old
democratic "wheel horses" together with
some new converts, had been busy for days
previous, all over this and even into some ad-
joining towns, whipping the faithful into the
traces and drumming up recruits.
When we consider the ;rihing requisites for
enrolling names, we wonder that they stopped
al I07. The fact that not many more than
half that number went up and signed their
own names, was no reason for stopping there
Mere suspicion that any one was or might be-
come Greeley man, furnished, we are told,
suffi cient reason TO ssput down his name ~
Even absolute refusal 10 join was not always
a disqualification fer that Club. We under
stand that some aggrieyed parties have insist
ed on having their names taken of, white 9th :
ers. regarding il like any other harmless for
gerry, simply say it is nullity and does not
bind their votes.
No wonder they failed 70 read their list OF
names al the meeting, when called for.
Gtee,eyism, like poverty, makes strange
bediellows. Surely you are no. ashamed Of
each others company? Then give US the
names, gentlemen, il you please.

Elves and fourishes. Oar village has

for the past two years we can say
that if quantity outranks quality
! then are we favored, if not thusly
then otherwise.
Several new dwellings have been
added to our village during the past

splation. Mr.. Joseph Reith has erect

From Mr.. Hewlett Fisher, ,formei

lly of Lancaster, we have the follow
ling additional particulars:
1T seems that Mr.. Dabney's family
had been urging Mr.. Cover to start
home for some time and Capt Burke
even told him that he ought to come
on the trip previous to the one he
started on, but no thought he could
not get away quite so soon. He
made arrangements tocome upon this
return trip, and was even so weak
THAT it took two persons to help him
Jon board. He seemed to enjoy
the first weeks sail very much in
sdeed, and when the sea was fearful
rough, and the boat was rocking To
1 and fro, he would say; "ls'nt that
delightful. | didn't seem to enjoy
my trip out so much" He was upon
deck. only twice, and then not for a
great length of time, but enjoyed il
Immensely, and rather dislikod the
idea Of going down into the cabin
sagain.
4 The vessel had been al sea eleven days when
he died. He expired on the morning of July
Yah and received better burial than is custo-
Z mary at sea.
4 One very strange thing connected with his
sdeath was that he did not leave one word for
fanny one. He did not seem to have the Least
4 idea that he was going to die; was constantly
talking Of the good time he would have when
he reached Wisconsin,; and thought he would
Ssfeel better when he got upon the cars. He
Fseemed to be in no pal whatever and was al
/ the time reading; and when he became so
Sweak that he could not hold book himself
] The would have some one 20 read for him. III
4 had been listening to reading up TO within
Every short time before his death''

TRY whether financial, local, political,

NEGLECTED, or perverted to selfish

4 Such being the unquestioned state

3didate for denomination to the posi-
lion he now so honorably fills.

VI sster Of the bark Fredonia

My DeAR SIR Should this letter ever be
handed TO you it will be after you have had the
misfortune to hear of the decease of your good
ather. In the course of few DAYS he
will leave in our bark, the FREDoNGA, for
Boston, but his health has Of late been so fee
Sbe thar feel that he may not live TO reach
l his destinaton;-should this unhappily be theI
case, you would naturally wish to know some
thing OF his last days in Fayal and, with this
Sidea, | shall say few words to you.
Your father has probably written you that
for several months after his arrival here heI
sconiinued TO improve IN health indeed afterI
I he had resided with us for year he seemed
squite another man-the attacks 10 which hei
was subject coming with much less frequency
land being more easily fought off. But afterl
/ this, perhaps because the effects OF the changed
Sof climate and scene were passing away, bel
began 10 lose ground, aud has been going
! downward steadily ever since. Last Spring
! he suffered good deal with very persistent
cough, and ia the early part Of the SUMMER
Ahad slight hemoTrhage of arteral blood, evil
IDENTITY from the lungs. urged him a; once
go try the climate Of the island of Pieo, which,
although distant only five miles, is far drierI
aud more healthy than this, owing to its pc
ocular soil, and absence Of vegetation near,
! the coast line; but he declined going until
we moved over ourselves in the month of Au-
sgast. There be remained for while andi
Sand was evidently benefited, but the damp
I wlnds OF the win er soon eiaeed the gain oil
Z the summer, aud the state of stomach be-!
came very unsatisfactory. As is almost all
smost always the case with dyspeptics, hisI
Etaste became morbid and he partook OF foodi
I that 10 me appeared extremely pernicious-'
! the craving Of acids became extraordinary
and he would often, in spite of my frequentl
circumstances, take strong vinegar in quaint j
/ Titles that seemed injurious. trust you will
believe me when tell you hat had he been al
near relative OF ours we could have done mol
more in endeavoring TO counsel and assist
him in any way that we could. Your faith
Ier's many good qualities and extreme patience
interested US all, aud enlisted our warn SYM
patty. Net one man in a thousand could havel
shown The consideration for those around
him that yonr father did, wres Ting as he VAS
continually with malady so trying TO the dis
,position; and indeed il has been only during:
the last two months, when human nature could
|no longer resist, that he has evinced any fret-s
|fulness.
1t was my strong wish that he should have;
gone home by the ''Fredonia' on her last trip!
pa April, thinking itextremely important that

he should have change at once, bit saw that
he had resolved TO wait until June, and being
my guest could not urge IT. My earnest
hope has been that he might at least iiys TO be-
with his family once more, but should il be
otherwise ordered, Ishall have the satisfaction
of feeling that l have done my utmost to en-
sure il. beg you will accept my deep sym
pathy in the trial you have been subjected to-,
