ARRIVAL OF THE GOVERNPR. —His Excellency, Governor Geary, arrived at the Springs, on Tuesday night last. ON the 21st of August next three of Jupiter's moons will be in eclipse. Ju piter has four moons. What a place for moonlight. AT TIIE MENGEL HOUSE.—Dr. Mor rison, of Greensburg, and H. P. Laird, Esq., of the bar of that place, are at' pre sent stopping at the Mengel House. ATTHESRRINGS.—Capt. Alex. Lloyd and Maj. Williams, of Hollidaysburg, have been staying at the Springs, for some weeks. Their friends will lie glad to learn that their health is im proving SOMEBODY says "a wife should be like a roasted lamb— tender and nicely dressed." So should husbands. And the place for them to get nicely dressed is at the fashionable Clothing Bazaar of R. W. Berkstresser & Co., in this place. KILLED BY THE INDIANS.—Mr.Ed ward Dively, formerly a merchant at Grantsville, Allegany county, Md.,but more recently a resident of Kansas, -was lately murdered by the Cheyenne In dians, while traveling over the plains. —Baltimore Sun. SNArx.—The Beltefonte "Watch man" (extra) says that five rattlesnakes some of them containing twelve rattles, were killed at Walker's lumber camp, on Beech Creek, on Thursday last (the 27 ult.,) and over twenty-five that had been raked from among the rocks got away. SLIM.—But fifteen of the twenty four .election districts were represented in the Radical B. 11. County Convention held in this place, on the 4th inst. We are glad to note that some Republicans are unwilling to desecrate the anniversary of American Independence, by hold ing party conventions on that sacred day. DULL TIMES, says the JJenn Yan Ex press, are always the best for adver tisers. Why? Because when money is tight and people are forced to econo mize, they always read the adverti ments to ascertain who sells the cheap est, and where they can trade to the best advantage. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.—The late Democratic Convention, at Harrisburg, recommended that all Democrats make vigorous efforts to increase the circu lation of Democratic journals through out the land, and also to give them their individual support and pat ronage, as the power and success of the Democratic party depends on the character and efficiency of the Demo cratic newspaper press. BEDFORD SPRINGS. —Visitors are be ginning to come in more rapidly at the Springs. There is prospect of a large attendance. The Springs are kept bet ter this season than ever before, and visitors cannot fail to be pleased. The gentlemanly superintendent, Col. Al len, and his assistants Messrs. Hoopes, Sausom and others, are determined to leave nothing undone'to make their guests comfortable. HARVEST.—The farmers of this sec tion have been very busy harvesting their wheat crop during the past two weeks. They are now about finishing the work, and we hear from every quarter, that the yield of wheat is un precedented. This will be good news to every body and especially to the la boring classes. Let us rejoice that an other year of plenty has been vouch safed us, and that not only has famine been averted from our land, but we are able to assist in feeding the poor and destitute of other countries. THE ancients proclaimed that Mer maids, Nymphs, Naiads, and the Gra ces, had long flowing tresses w*hich made them envied by their sisters of earth. But they arose out of the sea foam or bathed W fountains reached ,by no mortal hpnusand kept their locks of dewy softness, dark and lustrous , and thus had no need of Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia which is doing the same thing for thousands of people in our day. DEMOREST'S MONTHLY.—NO other fashion and literary magazine in exis tence has made such rapid strides in popular favor asthis. The current num ber now before us speaks for itself, as to the causes which have brought about such flattering results. It is full of fresh, attractive and useful matter, specially interesting to ladies and households. The fashion department is complete three times as full as that of any other magazine—and contains abundance of sensible, practical information, inval uable to those living at a distance from the Metropolis. The illustrations are beautiful and numerous—the tone of the literary articles high—and, in fact, the entire contents are greatly above the average, from first to last. We do not wonder that ladies, generally, de clare they "could not do without it." Three dollars per annum, with a pre mium. Address, W. JENNINGS DE MOREST, Broadway, New York. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT ON THE FOURTH.—A most lamentable accident occurred here early on the morning of the Fourth. A number of our young men were engaged on Cemetery Hill in firing a salute, when the gun dis charged prematurely, resulting in ter rible injury to Mr. John Atwell, who was at the moment engaged in ram ming down the charge. His left hand was torn entirely from the arm, and his body thrown about eighteen feet from the muzzle of the-gun, inflicting shocking bruises and burns. He was at once brought to town (to the resi dence of Mr. Jacob Sheads,) and medi cal aid summoned. Drs. O'Neil, Horn er and Huber were promptly on the spot, and, after examination and con sultation, concluded to amputate the arm above the elbow, which was ac cordingly done. The 'injured man is now doing as well as could be expected, and is receiving every possible atten tion, Mr. Sheads and family, as well as citizens generally, manifesting the warmest solicitude for his comfort. Mr. Atwell has been among us for several years, and proven himself a cor rect, industrious and worthy young man. He is a marble cutter by trade, having recently finished a very credi table apprenticeship with Mr. Cannon. The case is one of the saddest, and we are glad to hear that a movement is on foot to manifest sympathy by more than mere words. * How it happened that the gun dis charged prematurely is altogether a mystery. The piece was in most care ful hands —never more so. They had nearly all served in the army, and en gaged in cannon drill for several days before the Fourth, to avoid the possi bility of accident. It is confidently thought that Mr. Atwell's vigorous constitution, with : the careful nursing and attention he is receiving, will insure his recovery.— God grant it!— Gettysburg Compiler. FOLLY—To try to make a living by farming without the right kind of tools i —to wait till your neighbor is done j plowing to borrow or hire his plow— j to wait till your neighbor has worked his corn, to borrow his shovel plow to cultivate your sickly crop , or what is greater folly than all, after preparing your ground, to depend on your neighbor for /mdrill, when every sensible farmer knows that the earlier grain is sown the better. Own a drill yourself, even if you have to mortgage your farm to get it. It will clear itself in one year. More people are kept poof by being too stingy and too close and timid than by being extravagant. Whoever heard of the Sheriff selling out a man who owned a good grain drill? A Gum Roller Drill would bring more at sheriff's sale any how than the agents ask.

PARIS, June 27, 1867. —At the Paris Exposition, the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine has been awarded the only Gold Medal for superiority as a Sewing Machine for general purposes, over eighty-two competitors, llowe received a Gold Medal as an inventor, not for machines. The sewing machine interest was fully represented at Paris, every machine of any prominence be fore the world being on exhibition, making this the greatest triumph ever i achieved by any sewing machine, and | certainly entitles the Wheeler & Wilson to the enviable position it has so long I held, the best sewing machine in the I world.

Put the ice into a deep dish,.cover it \yth a plate and place the dish on a pillow stuffed with feathers, and cover the top with another pillow carefully, by this means excluding the external | air. Feathers are well known non-con ductors of heat, and in consequence the ice is preserved from melting. A friend ! states that he has thus preserved six 1 pounds of ice tor eight days. The plan I is simple and within the reach of every household. . I—* 1 —* CROUP.—AS many children are troub : led with croup, we publish the follow ing remedy, which is said to be reliable: 1 a linen cloth—cotton will do but linen is preferable—out of cold water, fold it so as to make several thicknes ses, and place it upon thechild'sthroat and chest, then fold a flannel and wrap carefully over it. Warm the child's feet—with hot stones if neces sary—and cover with plenty of bed clothes, and let it go to sleep, you can not perceive, when it wakes, that it 'has eVen a cold. It acts like a charm. # In every daily walk of life, llow - many flies I see ; They bother husband and wife, And also bother me. The day that flies were born to me— Oh, mercy me, what shall I do?

A WESTERN EDITOR lias placed over his marriages a cut representing a large trap, sprung, with this motto—"The trap down —another ninny hammer caught!" AincrU-iMi WnnfiwtHri.-The American Watcb Company of Waltluui, Afaaa. OUR readers know that the best me chanism of the best manufactories of this country is unsurpassed anywhere in the world. The genius of American inventors and mechanics produced the cotton-gin, the mechanical reaper and mower, the sewing machine, the best telegraphic instruments, and last, but not least, the wonderful machine ry of the American Watch Company of Waltham, Mass., a mechanism that takes hold of the raw material—the brass and steel, and gold, and precious stones, and under competent direction turns out that daily wonder and neces sity—a perfect time-keeper. Beginning in 1850 in a very moderate way, but with the determination to make none but thoroughly good watch es, the Company have continued to en large their works from year to year, (as they were unable to supply the de mand J until now they manufacture a bout one-half of all the watches sold in the United States. Their factory covers over three acres of ground, and as an illustration of its extent, we may mention that it is supplied with over sixty miles of iron pipes. These watches have proved so reliable that several of the railways of the country now furnish them as a part of their e quipment; and while recommending o ther lines to adopt the same precaution against accidents, the editor of the Bos ton Railway Times remarks: "We have carried one of these watches for the past four years, and although it has had to submit to rough usage in camp life, horseback riding, <fcc., we do not hesitate to say that it is the best time keeper and less expensive to keep in or der than any watch we ever carried." The Company's success has stimulated the manufacture and importance of many worthless counterfeits, so that buyers should be careful to see that they obtain the genuine American watch made at Waltham. MATRIMONIAL QUESTION.—A young j man asked an old gentleman for his daughter in marriage. The answer was, go into the orchard and bring in a parcel of apples. Give me one-half of the whole number, and to the moth er one-half of the balance and half an apple over, and to the daughterone-half of the remainder and half an apple over and have one left for yourself without cutting an apple, then if she is willing you can have her.
