Description of our Premiums.
THE BUGGY

Is q first-class vehicle in every respect, made
of the best materials, and is known as the pi-
ano box style, which has become the most
popular buggy now in use. 1t is hung on the
celebrated Brewster Side-bar Oil tempered
springs, which are the most comfortable, and,
therefore the most widely used side spring. 1t
is full leather trimmed with "lazy back
Savern patent wheels, steel tire, best steel IAN
tail, double collar aXles. 1t is painted q rich
black. The buggy is a good one and VIII give
satisfaction. Its worth $50 and is furnished TO
us by Mr.. NJ. C. WILLIS, manufacturer OF
and dealer in buggies, carriages &C., and may
be seen by calling at his factory in this place.
THE FURNITURE.

and is made of black walnut, handsomely nm
ished. The following pieces comprise the set :
One marble-top Dresser, with large Mirror;
one marble-top Wash Stand, with Mirror one
marble-top Table; one Bedstead; one
Rack and five Chairs, including a Rocker.
This Furniture was procured from MIR. GEO.
H. O'LEARY, Yorkville's largest dealer in that
line, and can be relied upon as being OF the
latest style and superior quality. The Furnl-
ture can be seen and examined at any time by
calling at Mr.. O'Leary's showroom.
THE SHOT GUN.
The Shot Gun is known as the New Baker,
and will be made under the direct supervision
of Mr.. w. II. BAKER, who has had much eXpe-
rience in the manufacture OF shot guns. IN

that it shall be equal to any gun made in this
country or in Europe. The barrels will be Of
the best English stub-twist, the right mod1fled
choke and the left full choke, thus well adapt
ing the gun for shooting birds on the wing, or
squirrels. The barrels will be 80 inches in

pounds. It will have all the latest improve

toll grip stock, rubber butt-plate, low circular
hammers, SOLID strikers, rebounding locks, top
snap-action and compromising fore end, which
takes up all wear in the hinge-joint, preventing
the gun from becoming loose and shaky. The

the most symmetrical, the best balanced ana
neatest looking gun of it's class ever before Of
farad to the nuhlic at the price.

the humanity of our Saviour, Peter states
in plain, strong and exact words, the Di-
vinity and Office work of the Son of Man.
He states that he is the Christ, the anoint-
ed of.God, to execute the threefold Office
of prophet, priest and king. He is the
living God. The descriptive word living
not only distinguishes him from all crea-
lures, but places him at an Unreasonable
distance above them. He is not a crea-
ture, but the creator. He did not derive
his life from another, but is the living God
from whom life in every form is derived
and upon whom it is dependent.
The doctrine of the divinity Of Jesus
Christ is the most important doctrine
taught in the Bible. Jesus Christ is either
the "Living God" or he is nothing as a re-
deemer. No mere creature can save sim
ners. Acreated being can neither provide
a righteousness for the sinner, nor satisfy
the penal demands of Gods violated law
in the sinners stead. If Jesus Christ is
not the "Living God" he has not a single
qualification of a Saviour.
The practical question with us all is not
whether we are professors Of religion, but
do we confess that the Saviourin whom we
are trusting is the Christ, the son of the
living God. This all important truth
flesh and blood cannot reveal. It can be
revealed only by the God and Father of
our Lord and Saviour who is in Heaven.

POSTAGE STAMPS.

In printing steel plates are used, on
which two hundred stamps are engraved.
Two men are kept at work covering them
with colored inks and passing them to a
man and girl who are equally busy print
ing them with large, rolling hand press
es. Three of these little squads are en-
ployed all the time, although ten presses
can be put into use in case OF necessity
After the small sheet of paper upon when
the two hundred stamps are engraved have
dried enough, they are sent into anotner
room and gummed. The gum used lor
this purpose is a peculiar composition
made of the powder Of potatoes n other
vegetables, mixed with water, whlch IS
better than any other material lor ln-
stance, gum-arabic, which cracks the pa
per badly. This paper is also of a pecu.
liar texture, somewhat similar to that OF
hank notes. After having again been
dried, this time on little racks which are
famed by steam-poWer for about an hour,
thew are put in between sheets OF paste
board and pressed in hydraulic presses
cabable of applying a weight OF two
thousand tons. The next thing is to cut
the sheets in halves, each sheet OF course,
when cut, containing a hundred stamps.
They are then passed to two other squads
who, in as many operations, periorate the
sheets between the stamps. Next they
are pressed once more, and then packed
and labeled and stored away in another
ROOM, preparatory to being put in mail
bags for dispatching to fill orders. II a
single stamp is torn or in any way, mutt
lated, the whole sheet of one hundred is
burned. Five hundred thousand are
burned every week from this cause. For
the past twenty years not a single sheet
has been lost, such care has been taken IN
counting them. During the progress OF
manufacturing the sheets are counted
eleven times.-Micago Journal.

CULLIBILITY.

The wild phantoms and shricking cries of q worth
less humbug can make money by imposing upon the
crcdullty and ignorance Of m honest public, and the
supply of this species ofwork seems more than an ade-
quate demand. The enunclatlon of facts-fncts that
have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and
tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enter
priscs; but the execrable practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for self aggrandIzement Is truly
reprehenslble and should be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide of Potash Is
n poison simply because their opponents use II, and
because they are %pandering to your Ignorance, as they
suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant
frauds and their remedies as unworthy of public con-
fdence, and If those who make such assertions do
not know better, they are n set of unenviable igno-
Yamuses.

nez- The Bank of England doors are now
so finely balanced that a clerk, by pressing
a knob under his desk, can close out the
doors instantly, and they cannot be opened
again except by special process. This is
done to prevent the daring and ingenious
unemployed of the metropolis from rob-
bling the bank. The bullion department
of this and other banks is nightly SUBJ
merged several feet in water by, the action
of the machinery. In some banks the
bullion department is connected with the
managers sleeping room, and an entrance
cannot be effected without shooting a bolt
in the dormitory, which in turn sets in
motion an alarm. If a visitor during the
day should happen to knock off one from a
pile of half sovereigns, the whole pile
would disappear, a pool Of water taking
it's place.

nay There is no doubt that a well-kept
flock of poultry is the most profitable of all
farm stock. But a little flock we'll kept,
like a little farm we'll titled, brings the
most profit to the farmer. Just as many
as can be kept without crowding, and with
ease and convenience, will be the most
profitable. Poultry will not bear crowd
ing any more than sheep or pigs or people,
and it is we'll known that when any of
these are too closely kept, disease appears
and works mischief. 1t is a necessity of
the case, because cleanliness must be sac
rifced to necessity.
