MEETING OF COUNTY AUDITORS. —On Monday last, the County Audit ors met for the purpose of auditing and settling the accounts of the County Treasurer and Treasurer of the Poor House, for the fiscal year which luts just closed. We hope that a full and complete statement of tiie receipts, and expenditures, properly itemized, will he furnished for publication. This, we are glad to say, lias generally been done with respect to the accounts of the County Treasurer, but has not a/wags been done with respect to the affairs of the Poor House. Sometimes the Audit ors, or Directors, have been seized with a sudden spasm of "retrenchment," and in order to save a few dollars' worth of advertising, have so curtailed their report that but little satisfaction could be gleaned from it. Wo say, don't be so much afraid of printers'ink!— Make your report full and thorough, and if any thing has gone wrong, the twenty-five hundred readers of the county papers will, in all probability, detect it, and then it can be righted in time, instead of resting uncorrected for years and years. The niggardly spirit that stops to count the expense of pub lishing a full report, whilst it "saves at the spigot, is sure to spill at the bung." SLIPPERY. —Don't be alarmed, you nice fellows that cheat the printer ; you are "slippery," but we have no refer ence to you. We mean the sidewalks, streets, door-steps and terra firma gen ally. Such sliding of the sled-owning boys, such coasting of the fun-lov ing girls, such twisting, stamping, pirouetting, upsetting, down-falling, shin-scraping, head-breaking, of the stiff-jointed elderly ones, we don't recol lect having seen for some time. We look out of our window and—don't en joy it quite as much as we used to"some twenty years ago." Still, fun is fun ny, and so we laugh with the youngs ters in their joyous sport and forget the faithful old pine board that used to car ry us down the grand old hill near the school-house in which we tasted the Pierian spring and birch-bark. Boys and girls appear to be fond of that branch of astronomy, in which they arc brought to a vivid perception of the Aurora Bor ealis, interspersed with about a million of stars, through the operation of bring ing their head in sudden contact with the earth. If in the pursuit of their studies in school, they were compelled to take such lessons, the former would go into rebellion and the latter into hysterics Such is the porver.se ness of human nature, even from the cradle to the grave. But, we re peat, fun is funny, and study is any thing else. So, have your sport, chil dren, and after play, go to school and work with greater zest, on account of your pleasant recreation. LUTHERAN SABBATH SCHOOL. —We should have been happy to have no ticed the celebration of the anniversary of the Lutheran Sabbath School, of this place, held on the evening of Sun day, 22d ult., had some one connected with the school supplied us with par ticulars. No report, however, was made to us, by any one, and we, there fore, did not know that any thing of the sort had transpired. We are in debted to the Inquirer for the follow ing account: TIIE Anniversary of the Lutheran Sunday School, which was held on the evening of Sunday, 22d ult., exhibited some gratifying'features. The exer cises consisted of appropriate addresses by Messrs. 11. W. Fisher, W.C. Sehaef fcrandJ. M. Reynolds, the reading of the report for the year and the distri bution of rewards to the scholars. The lirst and best of these was given to Henry Lippel, who had committed, during the year, the extraordinary, number of eleven thousand four hun dred and seventy-one scripture verses, and the next to William Arnold, who had committed nine thousand two hundred and twenty-six. There were in all thirty seven prizes given, to as maiiy deserving scholars. In all 45,144 verses were committed by the school. The Secretary's report exhibited a high degree of prosperity in the school The money raised during the year, by the school, amounted to $519,37. The whole number of scholars in attendance was about 190 and the average 100. A fine Teacher's Library was purchased during the past year, and the libraries of the school combined now number nearly seven hundred volumes. The prosperity of the school is doubtless due in great part to the efficiency of its officers and teachers who deserve great credit for the faithfulness and regularity of their attendance. The Secretary, 11. Nicoderaus, Esq., has been connected with the school for fif teen years, during which time lie has rarely been absent from its sessions. + PATHETIC.— We heard a half-bare footed urchin, who wears out a pair of shoes per week, singing the following pathetic ditty, the other day : Oh. father, dear father, do please hurry home, My confidence no more nbuse. You've promised again and again when you came, You would bring me a new pair of shoes, My big toe sticks out like the head of a clam And you of neglect doth accuse, Because you have failed to do as you said, And bring home my new pair of shoes. It is not very oft that a favor I ask, And this you cannot refuse, For you know that it costs but a very small sum. To purehase a new pair of shoes, Then hurry, dear father, do, pray, hurry home, No more of your precious time lose, Oh, think of the cold, of your child and his toes, And, pray, hurry home with the snoes. Now, if that delinquent "parient" wants to shut down on that song and shut up on the toes of his pleading child, let hiin call at Irvine andStat ler's and get him a pair of those ever lasting shoes which they sell so low for cash, or produce. A GALA DAY IN BLOODY RUN.— New Year's Day, 1868, must long re main a bright page in the history of Bloody Run. Our people from child to grand-ma, at an early hour, were re galed in holiday attire (save your humble Servant;) and every tiling seemed in perfect readiness for the grand ovation to our worthy fellow citizens, the Odd Fellows. By their untiring efforts they had furnished themselves with a very commodious and most beautiful Wall, and now, were in wating to have it dedicated, and receive the merited encomiums of their neighboring brethren. Landlords wore the most inviting looks, and seemed to be mentally speculating over the probable contents of their bill, to be received, of course, only for the turkey and chickens that might have been seen about the premises a day previous. Indeed all were in the best possible humor, and anticipated en joyment filled not a few with ecstatic delight. The unexpected sound of a trumpet, above the fearful din of innumerable bells, for a moment arrested the tide of exquisite enjoyment, and announced the advent of the first delegation of the Brotherhood. Mounted, and in mar tial array, they paraded the streets, un til Young America assaulted them with snow balls. The Bedford delegation, with colors flying and brass band, cre ated quite a sensation, and at once be came the center of attraction at the Grove Hotel. Representatives along the B. T. R. R. formed in procession at the depot, and marched to the soul stirring music of the Huntingdon Cor net Band. We may mistake the name of their organization, but we shall nev er mistake their music, or their fine ap pearance, and we give the sentiment of the people when we say they shall al ways have a hearty welcome with us. The procession then moved and pro ceeded to the M. E. Church, where Dr. C. N. Hiekok, of Bedford, entertained the densely crowded audience for an hour. At seven p. in. the dedicatory services, which beautifully represented the principles of the order, were com menced, I). 1). G. M. lliekok and other representatives of the Grand Lodge offi ciating. The Hall was then given in charge of Noble Grand Win. Masters. To conclude, all were elated and joy ful and no wonder, for we can now boast of the finest hall in the county. J. C. [ We are sorry that we were compelled to abridge our friend .J. C'.'s communica tion, as it came to hand just as we were ready to go to press].— ED. INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS.— The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has rendered the following decisions : A mortgage securing $lOO or less is not subject to stamp duty ; but the lia bility of the bond or note, which is ev idence of the amount secured, is the same as though there were no mort gage. The necessary stamp may, how ever, be affixed either to the bond or the mortgage. Section 160. Internal Revenue taxes do not be come a lien on the real estate of the tax-payer until they are due, and when they do become a lien, such lien does not take priority of pre-existing liens. Attaching personal property, owned by a person who owes an Internal Revenue tax, does not affect the lien of the Government for the tax, if the same was due when the attachment was served. Orn FRIEND, J. Harry Hutton, says that lie still retains his old base of oper ations at 221 Market street, Philadel phia. The firm is now A. A. Shum way & co., where he can still be found ready to serve his friends with desira ble Hoots and Shoes and will be glad to have his old friends and a great many new ones call for their spring goods. We have the pleasure of know ing little Asa Shumway and can recommend him as a capital little fel low who knows how to beep a Shoe Store, and would advise those of our friends who have not been in to give the place a call—22l Market street. NEW STOCK OF BOOKS.—A large as sortment of standard books, has just been received by our friend, Lieut. Keeffe, at his store on Julianna St. Among them we notice Froissarfs Chronicle#, Crabbers Synonyms, Cole ridge's Works, Ranim's Works, <£•., all handsomely printed and bound. These books were bought, at auction, and will be sold lower than they can be bought at retail in Philadelphia. Call and examine them. POWERS OP COURTS.— By the act of assembly of March 26, 1867, the courts of common pleas have power to incor porate companies for insuring live stock from loss by death or being sto len, and also to grant charters to water and hook and ladder companies, build ing associations, teacher's institutes, hotel companies, skating park associa tions, clubs for the advancement of ath letic sports, and fire insurance compan ies. SKATERS are, by a recent Yankee in vention, to he made comfortable. A "warm skate" has been invented. In a slot in the skate-stock is inserted a square bit of soapstone, made red-hot in the fire. It retains warmth for some hours, and keeps the skater's foot in a comfortable condition —a sort of portable stove, which is handy and effective. CONCERNING how long Christmas greens should be allowed to remain up, we quote the following from among a lot ofancient superstitions: "If every remnant of Christmas decoration is not cleared out of church before Candle mas day, (the purification, February 2d,) there will be death that year in the family occupying the pew where a leaf or berry is left." The above, we believe, applies also to private houses.

THE WORLD AT HOME. —A new can- ] didate for public favor is "The World at Home," a monthly magazine, pub lished by Evans and Co., 814 Chestnut st., Philadelphia.

The prieeof themag zine is $B.OO per annum, or 88.36 will en title the .-.ubscriber to 12 sealed packa ges containing tickets in a distribution of goods to be made every month. We formerly had dealings with Mr. Evans, and found him prompt and upright in all his transactions. + "YOUNG AMERICA" FOR JANUA RY. —This brilliant periodical is replete with good things—a genuine holiday book, with any quantity of colored pict ures, puzzles, games and stories that will interest girls and boys. We un derstand the subscription list of this excellent Magazine is tenfold larger than at first, some fifteen months since, and is rapidly increasing. It deserves ail the success it has achieved. Among the new features, the "Physiognomist," a capital and original colored puzzle, given as a premium, will make the children scream with delight. Send for a circular. W.

This brings the line to the eastern base of the Kooky Mountains, and it is expected that the track will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans' Pass, the highest point on the road, by January. The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work in the rock-cuttings on the western slope will continue through the winter, and there is now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pacific will be open for business in 1870. The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $16,000 to $43,000 per mile, for which it takes a second lien as security, and receives payment to a large if not to the full extent of its claim in serv ices. These Bonds arc issued as each twenty mile section is finished, and after it has been ex amined by United Statc3 Commissioners and pro nounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair-shops, stations, and all necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,- 800 acres of laud to the mile, which will be a source of largo revenue to the Company Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions arc covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of the best quality. The Company is also authorized to issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work progresses, so that they always represent an actual and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five inil liorfs have been paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will be large beyond precedent, and, as there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail road is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and to a large extent with Government money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Compa ny's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent, lower than U. S. Stocks. They pay SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD, or over SINE PER CENT, upon the investment.
