COOPER. nov 5 tidr IMPROVEMENT IN SEWING GREAT MACHINES. SALESROOM, NO. 941 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA. This Machine is constructed on a new principle of mechanism, possessing many rare and valuable improvements, having been examined by the most profound experts, and pronounced to be SIMPLICITY and PERFECTION COMBINED.

The following are the principal objections urged against Sewing Machines: 1. Excessive fatigue to the operator. 2. Liability to get out of order. 3.

Expense, trouble, and loss of time in repairing. 4. Incapacity to sew every description of material. 5. Disagreeable noise while in operation.

THE EMPIRE SEWING MACHINE IS EXEMPT FROM ALL THESE OBJECTIONS. It has a straight needle, perpendicular action, makes the LOCK or SHUTTLE STITCH, which will NEITHER RIP nor RAVEL, and is alike on both sides; performs perfect sewing on every description of material, from Leather to the finest Nansook Muslin, with cotton, linen, or silk thread, from the co coarsest to the finest number. IT HEMS, FELLS, BINDS, BRAIDS, TUCKS, QUILTS, PLAITS, GATHERS. Having neither CAM nor COG WHEEL, and the least possible friction, it runs as smooth as glass, and is EMPHATICALLY A NOISELESS MACHINE. All varieties of CABINET MACHINES from $60 upwards.

Particular attention is called to our NEW and IMPROVED Manufacturing Machine, for Tailoring, Shoe-Fitting, Coach Trimming, Its advantages are simplicity, durability, adaptation to all branches of manufacturing. It makes perfect work on all material. It is especially desirable in sewing Patent Leather, and is very still. In short, it is the most perfect manufacturing machtne in the market. N.

For Quarter or Sand Crack, Corns, Thrush, Contracted, Hard or Brittle Hoofs, and for general use, in place of Stuffing or Soaking, and as a dressing tor the outside of the Hoof, is superior to any other article known, giving to the Hoof all that smooth, healthy appearance which the foot has when out on grass, and requiring no other treatment to keep them perfect order. TESTIMONIAL. JEROME PARK, November 23, 1866. This is to certify that I am using BAKER'S HOOF LINIMENT On the running horse Fleet Wing" for Quarter Cracks, and find it to be the only artiele that I have ever used that was of the least use. We have used the various ointments, have had him treated by some of the best veterinaries in the country, and gave him a year's run, but all to no effect.

I commenced using BAKER'S HOOF LINIMENT about the Ist of October, 1866, and it has grown them down about one-third, with every prospect of a permanent cure: Since I have been using the Liniment, he has run a two-mile race without starting the cracks up into the new growth in the least. I cheerfully recommend it as an important article for all well-regulated stables. GEORGE G. WALDRON, Trainer for Forbes Jerome. Sold by AMOS MILEY, Sole Agent.

ZIMMERMAN, Agent, No. 74 North Queen Lancaster. fan 3md Lancaster Intelligencer. MONDAY EVENING. MARCH 11, 1867.

I was lying in the verandah of my bungalow after tiffin one day, when the rajah's head shikaree, "Omrah Deen," appeared, and salaaming low, said, in the hill patois: "The rajah, sahib, has heard of three 'reis' (Baghesur," mentioning a village on a river about twelve off'; "he starts at sundown to sleep there and attack them in the morning, and he hopes your royal highness (the usual way of addressing English in the hills) will accompany." "Good," I said, "I be at Baghesur at ten this evening." The rajah and I dined together that night. He was quite a civilized sort of fellow, and did not disdain to smoke one of my havanas; he even took a slice of my European bacon (sent out in tins from Fortnum and Mason) with his curry, sly, when the Kitumtgars were outside the tent. We turned in early, and by three the next morning the camp was astir. Aftertwo delicious mussucks of ice-cold glacier water from the river, I had a cup of tea, lit a cheeroot, and felt "fit" for any bear. My arms were my shot-gun, with a bullet in left barrel; in my wist-belt a five-barreled revolver, and a huge couteau de chasse, or sword bayonet, which would fix on to my short breechloading rifle, carried by gun coolie, who also had most of my ammunition.

We strolled down to the river by starlight, the rajah and I with our gun coolies, his head shikaree, and a villager who had tracked the bears the day before their cave, and crossed on two inflated buffalo skins; the other shikarees and beaters went up the river to cross at a ford, and beat cultivated flat ground up to the hills where we were to be posted. On arriving at the foot of the rocky cliffs, the villager showed us a sort of track winding up the sides, which were covered with low brush wood, and which he said led to some caves about two hundred feet higher, and that, about a mile on, there was another track which ran back to the same caves, and that the bears would come up one of these at daylight or when disturbed. It was settled that I and my gun coolie should go up the first track, and that the rajah and his men should go on to the next one, as it was a wider one, with branches, and required several men to be on the watch, lest the bears should slip by and get into the cave uperceived. Iwas glad, before I had gone many hundred yards, that it was the coolest part of the twenty-four hours, for the track was very steep and very rough-hand-andfeet climbing most of the way--and by the time I reached the caves, and stood on the platform of rock in front of them, I was running with perspiration. From this spot I had a view of the whole valley, and could see the beaters just crossing the ford, preparatory to beating the flat ground below us, which was covered with sugar-cane and plantains.

the distance were the snowy gummits of the highest Himalayas, thirty thousand feet, now gloriously tinted with red and gold from the beams of the rising sup, which had just caught them. As soon as I had recovered my breath, I took a survey of the caves and their approaches, and quickly observed a projecting rock, round which the pathway or track wound, about fifty yards below the cave. Behind this I and my gun coolie ensconced ourselves. I placed a two ounce bullet in each barrel of my smooth-bore, which I held in my hand, as the handiest and deadliest at close quarters; in my rifle held by the coolie I placed a shell bullet with a percussion head, and flxed the sword on ready for an emergency. Soon the shouts and cries of the beaters disturbed the valley below, and raised up clouds of birdsducks from the river, pheasants and hawks and pigeons from the cliffs.

We had been peering over the rock behind which we were ambushed for some ten minutes, when my gun coolie gave me a nudge, as his quick ear detected something coming up the track, and in less than a minute appeared the shaggy black head of a bear shambling up the track. I cocked both barrels, determined to give him a broadside as he passed our ambuscade, and then to seize my rifle to finish him. Ag he approached our rock we could hear him growl and swear as his nose evidently detected us, but his desire to get to the cave, away from the row of the beaters, was apparently stronger than his prudence, and in half a minute his black head and fore-quarters loomed out between me and the sky as he trotted along the edge of the track. Bang! bang! went both my barrels pointed behind his shoulder, and in a cloud of dust and smoke he rolled over the precipice, and crashed through the rhododendron brushes. I handed my gun to my coolie to reload, and seizing my rifle, I moved to the edge to look after him and see if he required anything more in the shape of fo quietus.

About twenty yards below his carcase had caught in a thick bush, and I could see he was recovering and trying to get his footing. I immediately raised my rifle, and was peering about to get a fair shot at him between his eyes, which I could hardly see for the intervening bushes, when an unearthly yell from my coolie made me quickly look round, and, behold! four yards from me, two bears rushing up the track. One, a half-grown one, rushed, apparently to get past me, and get up to the caves, while the bigger reared on its hind legs, and evidently meant fighting. As the young one approached me I lowered my point and lunged at its chest, but it caught the sword in its mouth, and the point came out of its cheek on the other. I had just time to observe this, and was about to withdraw it when the big bear rushed at me and knocked me back wards.

In falling, I manged to get my face downwards, to save it and my chest from the clawing I expected, and immediately began to feel for my revolver, but to my surprise, directly fell the bear left me and to the young one, who was kicking up a tremendous row about the sword in its cheek. Irose up as quickly A Bear Hunt in the Himalayas. as I could, and shouted to my coolie for the smooth-bore. was standing on the rock, up which he had climbed for safety, though and wass screaming, for help, there hear him but as I rose, the young bear got his head clear of my rifle and sword, and he the mother, trotted off' down the hill and big one, which was evidently again. I discharged my revolver at their vanishing sterns, but apparently without effect, and now I heard again the scramblings of the first wounded bear trying to get up cliff'; his advent though, I waited with the utmost composure, as I was sure he must feel very sick after my broadside.

I crouched down, and soon his fore-paws appeared on the edge of the track. I stepped up, and as his head appeared uttering fierce growls, I plunged my point into the centre of his chest. A dark stream of blood poured out, and the bear fell backwards and disappeared, crashing through the underwood. I now retired to the old corner behind the rock, and refitted; my right arm was torn with the she-bear's claws, this I tied up; my rifle was much bruised and dented, and the sword was slightly bent by the efforts of young bear to free himself; however, nothing had happened to impair me or my weapons, and I was soon ready for anything that might turn up. In a few minutes I heard two quick discharges, and then one from the direction of the rajah, and loud shouts.

I hurried up the track to the mouth of the caves, thinking to intercept any bear that might have passed his party. However, I waited there some minutes, but nothing appeared, though another shot and loud shouting came from the same spot; and I heard from the noise below that the beaters were nearer the foot of the cliff, I hurried back to my old ambush, in the hopes of the she-bear and young one appearing again. Soon the shout below us re doubled, and we could hear the cry of Reis! salib! reis!" I now took up my position with my rifle, kneeling on the track, looking down, and close to the projecting rock, behind which I could spring if I should fail to bring down anything coming up, and in a few minutes a three grown bear came shambling up the path followed by a yapping dog of the village, on whom he turned every now and then. He did not see me at first, and I waited until he was within twenty yards, then his little eyes caught sight of me and glistened with rage. He uttered loud growls and redoubled nis pace; but the head of my foresight was his nose.

I pulled, and animal turned head over heels like a rabbit. My coolie handed hurried me but my he was smooth bore, and! up, quite dead, and the village dog was worrying his carcass. The shell ball had struck just under the left eye, having grazed along his nose, (my aim had been the pointof the snout,) and apparently exploded at once, as all that side of the head was blown open, and the ear hanging down. By the time I had done examining and measuring the brute, some of the beaters appeared on the track I had come, 80 there was more to expect from that quarter." Leaving my gun coolie to point out to the shikarees where my first bear had fallen over, I hurried on to see what the rajah had done. On arriving, I saw the rajah's shikaree, Omrah Deen, lying down, looking very sick, and a good deal of blood about; the rajah's rifle, with the barrel bent to an angle of forty-five degrees, and a half-grown bear lying dead on the path.

It appears that young bear had appeared first, when the rajah had knocked it over with a double shot, and that Omrah Deen had run out with a keokree to settle it, and drag it off the path. Whilst so employed a and great she-bear had come up suddenly, clawed his back; the rajah had run out with his rifle, and afraid to fire for fear of hitting his man, had crammed the -muzzle into the animal's mouth. He then, as he affirmed, pulled his trigger with the muzzle pointing at its head, but I expect the bullet must have gone out of its cheek; however, the brute had bent the barrel nearly double, and then' scutted off up the path, and must have got into the cave before I arrived there must have got into the cave before I arrived there Attorneys-at-Law.
