HORSES STOLEN AS-D FoUND.-On Sat

team up here loaded with lumber, in
charge Of a hired man. The lumber
was unloaded at Eddy's lumber yard,

THE Press TIE ORATOR OF THE
DAY. The Hon. Daniel Dougherty, of
Philadelphia, in recent lecture on ora
tory, uses this language:
The grand days Of oratory are over.
The future may give birth to men who
shall rank with the greatest orators of
the past, for oratory never can be lost
while liberty survives but for all this,
its glory, power and pride have passed
away forever. 4 power mightier than
an army of orators has arisen which has
dwarfed their genius and lowered them
to the level OF ordinary mortalS, and
which is changing the whole world
The power of the orator sank when the
printing press arose. The orator speaks
to thousand the press to hundreds of
thousands the former rarely, the latter
every day. The orator is mortal, the
press unfajling the one speaks to u
city, the other to nation. The words
of the orator die with the sound that
voices them, the words of the press
lives forever The orators are listened
to by few OF an evening, and the press
sends even their words to the whole
world next day IF the press then does
honestly its duty with its far greater
powers aud laboTs for the welfare of the
people. the honor Of the nation, and the
glory of God. VIC may be content that
the days Of OratOrV are over.

\ MAGrIAG MACHINE. 1t Is truly a
marvel Of the aye to witness the many
inventions that proceed from the Yankee
mind. 1t is provcrbial that Yankee
brains arr the greatest workshops in the
world Some of the nOblcst inventions
the world ever saw, grace the patent Of
flee at Washington, and found their way
there from New England, the product
of Yankee skill and ingenuity. My at
tcntion has been called to this subject
by witnessing the operation Of a new
machine invented in this village by Mr..
Simeon Holton. It is called the "Ad-
dressing or Mailing Machine, and is de-
signed to facilitate the operation of mail
ing newspapers, pamphlets, etc, by
printing Offices and publishers to their
subscribers The names of subscribers
and residence are printed on Il slip of
paper about one inch wide and of any
length desirable, and put on roll in
the form of ribbon roll. There is a
dish containing paste which is placed Oh
springs, and the knife that cuts off the
different directions from the slip is also
set to a spring. The motion of a wheel
sets the role on which is wound the
printed slip, the paste cup and the knife
all in motion, as wanted to perform the
desired work The paste dish comes
down, leaves paste enough on the news
paper or pamphlet, then follows the slip
with the name i'll readiness, of the sub
scriber necessary to be put on the paper,
with the 7. o. address, etc, and rs it
reaches given point, the knife, by the
action Of the spring, comes down and
clips off the printed direction, and at
the same time presses it on the paste and
paper firmly and securely. The ma
chine is worked with a treadle, using the
foot or by steam or other motive power,
as easy as sewing machine. 1t can be
made quite light and all of iron or brass.
1t seems to me 10 be the best invention
eXtant for the purposes designed. 1t
will enable any expert hand to mail pa
pers, etc, at the rate of just as many as
can be picked up and put in the machine
say from thirty to forty per minute.
This saves the old and tedious way of
mailing papers by use of pen and ink,
which is necessarily very slow. think
il is destined to prove of immense adj
vantage to publishing offices in the ex-
peditious manner of mailing newspapers,
etc, to subscribers. Mr.. Holton will
show the machine to any one who may
wish to see IL work n is very simDle
in its construction and not liable to get
out of repair. may be mistaken, but
it seems to me that its utility is most
marked and manifest, and have no
doubt it will find its way into the large
printing establishments in our country.
1t will save its cost, in the saving of time,
in a short time. | have seen other in
ventions of Mr. Holton's, but none, to my
mind, that comprises more of the useful
and practical than this. 1t is well
worth seeing, and although in its con-
struction exceedingly simple, is also ex-
ceedingly useful. CANDoR.

Wheat in the West, kept back by

THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND
"a DEMAND.

The memorable law Of supply and
demand has had fair illustration
in the case of Hog products. Dur
ing the war the country was pretty
thoroughly drained of these pro
ducts, and the farming classes were
SO largely drawn into the army that
the production became materially
curtailed, with the consequence of
extreme prices, Mess Pork at one
time touching Ss4 per barrel. This,
in turn, had the effect to greatly
stimulate the production of Hogs,
the crop of which for the last three
years has been so large as to bring
about q reaction in prices, and the
complaint has been quite general
during that period that the farmers
have been inadequately rewarded
for their labor. And here again
comes in the law OF supply and da-
mand, to make things equal Tn,
low prices of last year led to an IN
paralleled export demand for lard
and bacon, which were shipped IN
vast quantities to many pisces IN
Europe where they had never g0a
before. At the beginning Of tha
present packing year, last Autumn.
the surplus Of hog products had
been pretty well cleared out; butas
thA incoming crop promised IN,
other large increrse, prices were
kept down, and the export trade 90
far has been twenty-five to thirty
per cent. greater than hast year,
Notwithstanding q much higher ruI-
ing Of freights. We have now n.
rived at q period when it is scan
that the hog crop, even though ess
timated to be three hundred thsn:

meat and lard, in excess Of Inst
