AN HISTORICAL FACT.-Every agent who ha
been st eadily selling the Improved 500 Home
stead Sewing Machine for three years, owns his
dwelling house, has a good account in bank, is
clear OF debt, and has money at interest.-the
natural consequence of securing good agency
for superior goods at the lowest prices. A good
trst-class Sewing Machine, most useful-reliable
at all times, easy to understand and control, the
same size and does the same work as any ma
chimes that sell at four times the price. There
IS no machine at any price better, or that will
do finer or more work, and certainly none SO
low in price by many dollars. The Homestead
Is widely known and used in thousands of FAM
lilies in the Eastern and Middle States, and dai.
ly becoming popular in the West 1t will save
its cost several times over in one season, doing
the work of the family, or will earn four or five
dollars day for any man or woman who sevs
for living. Ii il the strongest machine made,
is ready at all times to do its work, makes the
strongest and finest stitch yet invented and IL
fully acknowledged AZ the Standard Family
Sewing Machine. Price, complete for domes-
tic use, $40, delivered At your door, no matter

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, inquiring for the body of the
County of Columbia respectfully report that
we have pursuant to our required duty, calmly
and deliberately investigated all tho Bills of
Indictment presented for our consideration at
this time, and have passed upon them according
to their merits that we have examined the
public buildings, and find the Jail clean as could
be expected under the circumstances and also
find the jail-yard walls in a poor condition, not
su ilieient to hold prisoners if they have any de-
sire TO get out.
We recommend that the County Commission
ors as soon as practicable, to build new Jail
and jail-yard, believing money spent on the old
buildings lost. and also recommend that the
wall ON East side of Court House be repaired
All of which is respectfully submitted.
III. J. CLARK, Foreman.
And now, September g. 1870, this report and
that of the Grand Jury of May session, 1876,
recommending the erection of new County
jail, approved

ACCIDENT AT sUNBURY.

SUNDURY, Sept. l0-At ten o'clock this morn
ing the Sunday express struck man named
Walters--an employe of the railroad company
as he was passing through the yard on his
way to church in company with his wife. The
train was coming in on different track from
that generally used, and it is supposed that
that confused him. Seeing the imminent dan
ger his wife succeeded in stepping from the
track just as he was struck by the locomotive
and knocked OF with great force. He was
thrown some distance and on being picked up
was found to be cut about the head and badly
bruised about the body. 1t is feared that he is
seriously injured.

LElDY-WARNER,-Everybody was surprised
last evening when Jackson Ledy came in on
the train from Pierce City accompanied by a
beautiful young bride. No one suspiconed that
Jack had any such evil design when he left
the day before, but the sequel has proven that
he had contemplated and thought long and well
seriously the matter over. His wife is from
Weatherly, Pa, and was Miss Anna Warner.
She came from Pennsylvania in company with
Mrs. Martin Leidy and brother to Pierce City,
where they were met by Mr.. Ledy on Satuld
and the ceremony performed We extend our
congratulations to Mr.. Leidy and wife and be
speak for her a cordial welcome to her new
home.-Ctuthage (lfo.) Banner.

WHERE NICKEL COMES FRoM.-It may not
be generally known that the nickel deposit near
the Gap, Lancaster County, is considered he
largest yet discovered in the w3rld, and the on
ly deposit of the ore worked in America. The
mine is on the high dividing-ine between Ches.
ter and Pequa Valleys. Besides nickel, copper
iron and limestone are found in the same locali-
ty. Nickel was discovered here about the year
1885, though copper, which is taken from the
same mine, was known in this locality seventy
years ago. The ore has gray color, is very
heavy, and so hard that it is mined entirely by
blasting. After the ore has been broken Into
small fragments it is put into kins holding
eighty to ninety tons each and subject TO heat
produced at first by the burning of small
quantity Of wood and continued by the CONVEX
sion of the expelled gas. 1t is then put into
smelling furnace and undergoes a treatment
similar to that of iron ore. The product result
ting from this treatment is reduced to powder
by passing ii between iron rollers, and then
shipped to Camden, n. j., where complete
separation is made of the nickle and copper.
The price Of pure nickle averages over So a
pound From 400 to 500 tons Of ore are taken
from the mine per month, and the mining and
working Of this requires the labor of l75 hands.

that the jury did not think there was any cause
for suspicion against Mr.. Murphy.

UsuRIous lSTEREsT.-It will be of interest
to people generally to learn that the Supreme

This is in accordance with the rulings of our
State Courts.

BosroN, December "a, 1859.

Dear Sir: 1t may be some satisfaction to YOU
to be informed of the result of the trial of the
Peruvian Syrup in my family. My daughter
was brought low by a typhoid fever.last Spring,
and after the fever left her she continued very
weak, and the simplest food distressed her For
months she remained in the same debiitated
condition; but from the first of September last,
when she commenced taking the Syrup, the di-
gestive functions improved, and she steadily
gained strength and yivacity, and now, having
taken two bottles, she is restored to good state
OF health; indeed she appears more really
healthy than she has for several years past. /
am Of opinion that the "Protoxde of Iron" con-
tanned in the Peruvian Syrup was adapted to
her case, and effected what no other known
medicine could have effected.
Yours truly, S. CoBB.

How TO GET RIcH.-Nothing is more easy
than to grow rich. 1t is only to trust nobody
to befriend none-to get everything and save
all you get-to stint ourselves and every body
belonging to us--to be the friend of no man,
and have no man for our friend--to heap in
terest upon ihterest, cent upon cent-to be mean,
miserable and despised, for some twenty or
thirty years-and riches will come as sure as
disease and disappointment. And when pref
ty nearly enough wealth is collected by dis
regard of all the charities of the human heart
and at the expense of every enjoyment save
that of wallowing in filthy meanness-death
comes to finish the work-the body is buried in
hole, the heirs dance over it, and the spir
goes-where?
