LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
THE SABBATH SCHOOLS connected
iv'th the Presbyterian and German Reformed
Churches of 'his place, had a pic-nic at Bed
ford Springs on Tuesday last, (he Presbyterian
school under the superintendence of John Mow
£sq.. and the German Reformed under that
P J John P. Heed, Esq. It was a treat not only
L latht , children, but also to the older persons in
attendance. A cheering sight, indeed, was it
st 0 watch the sportive gambols of merry child
|iooCj indulging in the innocent amusements of
Ife occasion— t!)e hillside ramble—hide-and-
! OSP pk—and other harmless pastimes in which
yogth delights. A sumptuous dinner was serv
ed up, and in the afternoon, after every body
had enjoyed the affair to his, or her, entire satis,
faction, Col. Gossler, the courteous President o!
Tl ie Springs Company, furnished for the enter
tainment of the crowd, a rich dessert of cak.
If an d dainties of every description. In short ev
il t , rv body was delighted with the pic-nic and
bad food reason for being so, too.

HO! FOR THE "FAIR".— Some of thi
enterprisng citizens of our town are agitating
the subject ol holding a "Fair"during the com
in<r month. There is nothing which developer
the "lat-nt energies" of a community more thai
the cenerous rivalry occasioned by an exhibi
tion of their industrial liopbi' S. The peacefu
emulation instigated by "Fairs" brings abou
one half of the reforms-made in Agriculture
Horticulture, dec.,&c. Therefore, we say, let thi
matter be encouraged. Let every one who feel
favorable to the progressive spirit of our country
interest himself in the project and he will bi
amply repaid for his (rouble. We are inform
edlhetime for holding the Fair, will be-tln
"Ist, 223 and 231 days of October next.
WE ARE INFORMED that A.J. Hite Esq.
fomerlv of Somerset county, is about starting i
new Democratic paper in Johnstown, Pa., ti
be called the "National Democrat ." Mr. Hit.
is one of the best practical printers in Western
Pennsylvania and we have r,o doubt that his pa
per will be a model of neatness and taste. H
is also a writer of force and ability, and we ex
pert to see him do much goad with his pen, fb
the Democracy of "little Cambiia."
A A 'UMBER of typographical errors occur
red ioour last issue which we, now, beg leav.
to correct. At the head of the first editorial
the word " hypocrisy " was misspelled, "hvpoc
racy." in the article headed, "Hon. \Vm. P
Schell," ' unexceptional " occurs for " uncxcrp
iionablc'' in the next article the word " op ' i
omitted in the first line: in the editorial on th.
"American Meeting," the words "which wil
last" should be supplied before "lo! these man
years,'' and the sentence should have read.—
It is plainly to fie seen, therefore, that there i
a bitter feud between the Abolitionists and Ik
"Antrir. inswhich will last, lo! these mar,,
years. ihe fact is that in the hurry of goin;
to press, last week, (some of our hands being sicl
whir.i put us in a "drag |we managed to mak.
nearly as many mistakes inotthography as Wil
II mot (ii.l in orlhtppy in bis speech on Tuesdai
evening of Court week. By the way, didn't i
look a little bad for David to talk about th.
van. if education in the South, when he him
i-e:i butchers tile' English language by savin;
l -sl\irc>iy ' andpresistently," and shows bis ig
norance as he did at Somerset, by saying tha
Baxter suffered imprisonment for writing "Pi!

PRESERVED CARROTS. —Arsons the varieties of
preserves in use, we see no good reason why
preserved carrots and parsnips may not prove
quite acceptable to a large number who are very
load of one or both of those esculents. A cor
respondent of the Southern Cultivator gives the
fill lowing i ecipe, ut the preparation of the form
er root, fake one pound of carrots, one pound
oi sugar, ami four lemons. Boil ti. e carrots sep
arately, and then cut them in small pieces of an
inch long, ami a quarter of an inch thick: pare
the lemons very thin, boil the peels thoroughly,
and cut them like the carrots; then put in the
juice of the lemons; boil the syrup over next
day until quite thick, and after you have flavor
! Ed it with the essence of lemon, pour it over the
i carrots again.
