TIE PREMIUM ENGRAVING, issued
by Peterson's Magazine for 1879, like
everything else from that quarter, is
of unriyalled excellence, eostliness
and beauty. 1t is not one of the
cheap, colored Autographs, with which
the couptry is flooded, but a 1rst-elass
line and stipple engraving, executed
in the highest style Of art. The ar
lists are Illman d Brothers, and they
have engraved it, (size, "a inches by
20, expressly for Peterson Maya
zine, in their most brilliant manner.
1t is such plate as would sell, at
retail for $500 The subject is
"Christ Blessing Little Children
and is after r picture by the cele-
brated German artist, Overlook. 1t
is a picture that ought to be ia every
household in America-that mothers,
at least, should own. In artistic merit
and beauty it is, we think, the finest
that even Peterson has ever issued.
You can get it gratis by raising Il
club for the magazine for 1879, OF By
renting $3.50 for it and for the

worth $500. This is a rare chance

road that is proposed to be extended
from Mt. Morris to Morgantown and
Grafton) and Mt q meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce held on last
Saturday, after addresses by the
President and the Manager, Geo. c.
Sturgiss, Esq, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolce1, That the thanks OF this
meeting be rendered to President
George p. Hays, and Mr.. Sturgiss, of
Morgantown, for their very able and
interesting addresses relative to the
Pittsburgh Southern Railroad, and
that we commend their enter prise TO
the attention of our merchants and

This road will be built, but only by
a combination of local and foreign
aid. Cass District will vote upon the
question Of a subscription to its cap

and then the road will be finally 10.
Gated and put under contract. IT,
however, the subscription should be
lost, the work will be abandoned and
Morgantown and vicinity will turn
their attention to the Southwest Pa,
road, which has already offered rea-
senahle terms for its construction
viii the voters Of Cass District lag
behind Morgan in the matter Of sub.
scription to the construction of this
road2 1t is their only chance, while
we have the additional prospect of
the S. W. Pa. road to encourage us.
The Southern, with Geo. =. Hayes

had new life infused into it, and if
the proper encouragement is given, ii
cannot fail of success.

Latest Novelties in Mowers an

TN Latest Novelties in Mowers and
Reapers.
5e are all apt to run after the latest novelty,
gid, in these days of progress, it is well to try
3and keep up with the times; but it should be
borne in mind that only small proportion Of
so-called novelties, when put to the test, prove
to have any value, and in the purchase of q
moving or reaping machine the farmer cannot
afford to make experiments.
Twenty-one years ago, the novelties Of two
driving wheels, double iointed folding cutter
bar, in front of the driver-a wonderfully SIM
pie and perfect system of gearing and bracing;
leading Wheel and lifting lever-were first
introduced into tde Buckeye Machine. These
novelties obviated all the difficulties that had
heretofore prevented the universal use of now
ing machines, and made them necessary farm
implement.
The Buckeye Machines have outlived scores
of novelties which have tried to compete with
them, and the hundreds of thousands Of farm
ers who have tested them bear witness that
they are to-day the simplest, the lghtest in
draft, the safest, the least costly TO keep in re-
pair, the strongest, most durable, and do the
best work. There are no mysteries about the
Buckeye Machines, but all is simple, solid and
mechanically correct. Adriance, Plat q Co.
of Poughkeepsie, and 1875 Greenwich Street
New York, who enjoy SO high reputation as
the builders Of the Buckeye, have introduced a
later novelty in the Adrianoe Single Wheel
Reaper which is in all respects worthy COM
panion to the Buckeye Mower.

A Tobacco Box and Renaissance.

The Middletown IN. Y Argus, says:
George r. Nance, now residing near
Pine Bush, this county, has an old
tobacco box-which is now in service
which was the property Of his grand
father, John Nance, who was one of the
first settlers ON the Shawangunk Noun
tains, in the town of Wawarsing. 1t is
related of him that during the Revolu-
ton he, together with relative, accom-
panied by a girl, started to cross the
mountain from Shawangunk to Wawar-
sing, and when on the mountains they
were attacked by party of Indians, and
the relative and the girl were killed.
Mr.. Nance ran and was pursued to a
narrow point whence the only escape
was over a steep precipice of rocks, at
the base of which there were trees
reaching up to near the level where he
stood. Having no other hope of escape
he jumped into one of them, which
served to break his fall with no other
injury than spralned ankle. AS he
got up and started to run he cast his
eyes upward to the rock from which he
had jumped, and there saw one of the
Indians with his gun leveled as if to
shoot, but strange as it seemed to
Nance he was allowed to escape-the
reason being explained to him at the
close Of the war by this same Indian
who was known to Nance, that they
wished to capture and not kill him, be-
cause he was skilful hunter and could
render them great service. The to-
bacco box now owned and used by Mr..
George r. Names was in his grand
fathers pocket during that 'perilous ad :
venture, and Las passed. from vue geu-
Grafton of the family to another as a
treasured heirloom.

How to Improve tie Mem CRY.

The truth is, almost everybodys
memory is poor, until it is trained and
cultivated, and the only way to improve
it is by use. If q boy puts his arm in q
sling, or keeps it hanging by his side, it
will grow slim and weak. If, on the
contrary, he use it vigorously, holding
pillow, chopping wood, and in other
vigorous exercise, it will grow muscular
and strong. The boy who goes into q
blacksmith shop as an apprentice, strikes
very feeble blows upon the heated iron,
at first he scarcely makes a visible i'm
preston. But after a few months exer-
else, his blows tell his arm has not
only become strong, but also disciplined
to give proper direction to the blows.
Just so with the memory. Exercising it
in any direction will give it strength and
disciplined power. One having weak
memory, should specially cultivate that
faculty. Parents and teachers often
make great mistake because child
exhibits a dislike of arithmetic, or of
any other branch, they let him give
more attention to something else, for
which he appears to have liking, or
natural tact. The true plan is, to give
most attention to the exercise and cult
walton of those very faculties which are
the weakest. In this way only eau a
well balanced effective mind be secured.
This applies to the education up to
maturity of mind and body. With this
general discipline, the mind will after
wards act most effectively if its energies
are mainly turned in some apaeifi chan
mel of thought.

A Zaandam Fire-wOmun.s

A good many of til children in the

stone buckets, with a tea-kettle on the
top. After proceeding II me distance

By this time they had reached the

They could see the whole apartment

old woman stood by stove, or great
oven, with a pair Of tongs, taking up
pieces of burning peat and dropping
them into the buckets OF the children,
and then filling their tea-kettles with

element AMONG publishers 1t was begun in
May, 1875, as local paper at Spring Valley,
Rockland copnty and on Jan'y 1st, 1877, re-
moved to Ndw York. The first issue in that year
was 1873 cobies, using twenty-five pounds Of
white paper, postage fifty cents, while the issue
Of May 22d instant was 156, 900, using near nine
tons of white paper and paying $500 postage
This has been done by discreet but bold

Hint. IN The Carn Of Health.

/. Diet. This should be pure and
wholesome, and Of mixed character.
Ii should also be moderate rs 10 quantity
and regular, allowing neither too long
nor too short intervals between meals.
2. Exercise. Daily exercise is necessary
10 the enjoyment II good health, and, If
possible, should be taken where the air
is pure and free from smoke and other
impurities. The best forms OF exercise
are walking, riding, rowing, etc. When
outdoor exercise is impracticable, the
dumb bells may be advantageously sub
stituted. 8. Pure air. The thorough
ventilation of the house or rooms we
live in is another essential to health,
and must on no account be neglected.
Nothing is so conducive to sickness as
hot and stuffy rooms; and this remark is
especially applicable to the bedroom,
which should be Of sufficient size, permit
ting free current of pure air TO pass
through it during the hours when it is
not occupied. And here it may not be
out of place to observe that it is not
sufficient to open doors leading into
passages or staircases, which may con-
tain all the bad air Of the house; neither
does it do to open windows looking into
confined and impure places. Ventila-
ton. to be of service, must permit of the
exit of the bad air in such way that it
cannot re-enter, and of the admission of
the pure air from the best source with
out. 4. Clothing. This should be
comfortable only, too much wrapping
up being quite as preludicial to health
as too little. 1t should be adapted to
the season OF the year, and should al
ways, in this country, include thick uu-
derclothing in the winter and light for
the summer; the feet also should be
well protected by warm stockings and
strong boots. The custom of placing
thick layers of flannel on the chest in
the form of a chest protector is very
much to be deprecated, except in the
case of really delicate people. 8. The
bath. This is q valuable adjunct to
health, and should be taken during the
summer months, and with the chill taken
off the balance of the year. A warm
soap and water bath should be taken
at bed time once week or once fort
night; or Turkish bath may be enjoy
ed by those who can indulge in the
luxury, care being taken not to drive,
but to walk briskly homo afterwards, if
the distance be not too great. 6. A
calm temperament. Those who are 30
constituted, or who have sufficient COM
mand over themselves as to preserve
this condition, have valuable adjunct
to health, as there is, perhaps, nothing
so prejudicial in this age Of over-work,
both of brain and body, as the worries
and anxieties of every day life. The
easy going, even-tempered man, must
digest his food better, and is less affect
ed by the daily wear and tear of life
than the passionate, impetuous and i'm
patient man, and will live longer. 7.
Rest and amusement. These are essen
tials to health; hence the proverbs,
"You cannot burn the candle at both
ends, and "All work and no play make
Jack q dull boy" The want of rest
may endanger life; Jacks dullness will
end in sickness.
