ARRIVAL OF THE GOVERNPR. —His

at the Springs, on Tuesday night last.

piter has four moons. What a place for

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

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.

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."

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

To SAVE ICE.—A German chemist
publishes the followingsimplemethod
of preserving small quantities of ice,
I which he has practiced with success.
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.

linen is preferable—out of cold water,
fold it so as to make several thicknes

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.

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. He solved
the question and how many did he
