abuse and thread-bare blackguardism.

True, they did not, but what is worse they pro-

only annoy the filthy portion of humanity, it
naturally follows that if we are ‘vermin,’ tho
beauty of the Standard must be an awfully wick
ed and deplorably filthy specimen of humanity.
We bare no doubt that he thought we were ‘ver
min,’ judging from the amount of teratehing wc
hate compelled him Ip do.
lie says he never accused us of being black
guards but only with the inclination to be such.
This Is the uakindeit cut of all, for it is calcu
lated to injure us in public estimation, by crea
ting the impression that he is our model, and
thst*we are envious of his i cell-tamed reputation
that of a finished blackguard. Now, Traugh,
please don’t. Wo can stand anything but that.
That la taking us foul, while in reality you have
no cause for jealousy.
He denies that ho ever intended to argue the
Leoompton question with us, and says that when
he wishes to argue he can get gertlemen to ar

gentlemen. lie don’t seem to understand the
meaning of the term. If lie dobs he was not
justified in using it as he did. Perhaps he dubs
as gentlemen
“ The knave the tool, the brute."
Wo advise him to stick to his gentlemen, as bis
j.*r,diar qualifications mayenable him to ‘gain’
something by nguing with them.' Ho ‘can gain
nothing by arguing Kith us,' as be himself con

This week the Standard's Altoona Re
porter winds up an article, which he says is his
last, in reply to Local of this paper, by saying
that for the sake of his reputation ns a wit, he
drops the subject Verily, a wise conclusion.
It would have been better for his reputation for
veracity also, had he dropped hU first article on
the subject in the stove instead of allowing it
to appear in print He again reiterates the as
sertion that he proved the unpopularity of Mr.
Warfel, but when or how, we’ll let our old hat
that not one of tho readers of the Standard can
tell. As to our dropping the point in argu
ment, that may do to tell those whnhavc not seen
both papers, but with those who have, it won’t
go down. Since Mr. Reporter has “caved,"
wc have no disposition to pursue the matter
further, feeling perfectly content to let tho pub

terms of Dr. Keyset's Pectoral Syrup, for sale
at the Drug’Store ofO. W. Kessler in this place:
Dr. Key ter's Pectoral Syrup, is highly extolled

I the Syrup.. They state that by the use of a bot
tle of this invaluable Cough Syrup, they hare
been relieved of a distressing Cough that caused
them much trouble. It is but j ustice to the Doc

j visable to appoint an agent here, it would be
to Ids advantage, as the Syrup would meet ready
sale, it is pronounced good.

HOME CORRESPONDENCE.
The citizens of Martinsburg seem determined
to have the Blair County Norpal sohool located
in their town. We have been informed that it
is now reduced to a certainty, (so sanguine are
they in their expectations.) although the C lur.ty
Superintendent, in whose power it has been left
to decide upon its locatiqn.has not us yet made
the fact publicly known trom the interest ta
ken by .the people in this neighborhood, and the
many flattering inducements'which they hold
out, it will be a difficult matter for the Super
intendent to locate the school at any other place.
A short time since a meeting was held in Mnr
tinsbnrg, to devise ways and means to have the
school brought to that place. All seemed to
manifest a deep interest in the matter, and the
meeting was largely attended U was deter
mined that the town hall should be furnished,
for the purpose of holding the school in, free of
expense; the preceptor, during his stay, should
be furnished boarding, “ free, gratia, for noth
ing; "boarding for teachers, who attend the
school, should be reduced to the low figure of
two dollars a week; and a committee, to receive,
and secure comfortable boarding places for the
fcmalcteachera was appointed. Can Hollidays
burg hold out such inducements ? we think not;
and as the place which could extend the best
inducements was the. one to be selected, Mar
tinsbprg is certainly A No. 1, on the list Quite
an excitement.prevails in this neighborhood on
the subject of education. It is the principal
topic of conversation. From what is said one
would infer that the brief sojourn of the teach
ers in oar midst, will be very pleasant and
agreeable, and 1 that the two months they expect
to bo there, during the time of the Normal
school, will be spent in about a week and half
or two weeks, i

Mr. Jacob Stoner received a severe stroke of
paliy, on Friday last, (tbefith Inst,) while in
the bam attending to his daily avocations. Mr.
Stoner isa man pretty well advanced' in yean,
and was among the! first settlers of Martmsburg.
It is said that bewas 'exceedingly rigorous for
a man of his years,- and could, before be met
with this unfortunate occurrence, perform as
hard a day’s labor as almost any young man.—
We hare been informed that the stroke is so
severe that be will never again be able to leave
his bod.
“ Alpha” is undoubtedly mistaken, or wrong
informed, in his ‘•chapter” of the 18th ult,
when f be says we “most unceremoniously
“ footed” it past my (his) domicil” some two
weeks ago. We did pass along that way about
two months ago, but not since. At that time we
understood he was from home, and hence we
were deprived of the pleasure of visiting him.
We did not mean that ‘‘ Alpha" should “drop
everything, and walk sjx miles,” merely to pay
us a visit, we would have indeed considered our*
self somebody of vast importance to have done
so. Our intimation, was, that when he again
found leisure to visit schools, we sbould be glad
if he would visit, some up in this direction, and
at the same time “ drop in” and see ns.
Holliuatsbubq, March 9, 1858.
A slight fire occurred last Friday, in a build
ing belonging to a colored man named Williams.
The flumes being, as it was thought, soon extin
guished, the first alairm did not spread. Short
ly afterwards, however, flames burst out
again but were soon checked. All the damage
sustained was the defacing of one room
The mania for.duelling belongs not exclusive
ly to Washington Congressmen, or Navy Officers,
nor to Philadelphia Medical Students or Pitts
burg Merchants. “ One-horse” towns claim the
same distinction. Honor is as dear to the hum
ble citizen, as to tho profoundcst statesman,
or most high-minded officer, or aristocratic mer-
chant. All seek redress in the same manner
and by the use of the same weapons. The
“Code of Honor" of the present day demands
alike of the high apd low, rich and poor, learned
ami unlearned, a resort to arms and challenges
to mortal combat. But to the case : This same
cruel and arbitrary code caused a young gent in
our (in Pittsburg style; “ one horse” town, nam
■Hed Henry Speilmnn, alias “Tuaky,” to send a
' challenge to a young man who had charged him
with stealing mackerel, etc., of which accep
tance was made. The due! came off in the af
ternoon of Saturday last, in the warehouse of
W. il. Cannn & Co. The seconds and a few
particular friends were there. Between the
; words one and three the parties were to tire;—
; The utmost coolness nnd self possession was ex
i hibited by both combatants. Scarcely had the
. word “one” escaped the second’s lips when
■ Spellman fired and bis antagonist fell. The lat
, ter was taken in charge by hia friends and is
likely to experience no dangerous results.—
| Spellman immediately made tracks at a 2.40
x - ate, limping over fences and with a movement
, considerably accelerated by fear and the vocif
erations of his pur.iuers, sped his way, it is said,
to Ernnkstowa.
-Or last Sabbath, eight persons were immersed
in the new Baptistry of the Baptist .church.—
This is the first tune, the tout has been used.
The male portion were baptised in the morning
and the females in tire evening. The church
was crowded to overflowing. Every available
spot in the gallery anfl church was occupied.—
So Urge a congregation perhaps never before
assembled in tins church. A very unpleasant
circumstance, which might have proved serious
had it not been timely discovered by a'couple of
gentlemen, occurred during the services. The
large heaters in the lecture room were closed,
and becoming red-hot began ’o heat the wood
work, when the smell Ojf.the scorching pine nt-

soon discovered tho cause and thus prevented

A Seven-Dajr Baptist, named Mr Rice, has
been visiting our to*h‘lor several days, declaim
ing against the first day of the week as being
the right and truly ’Christian Sabbath, lie is
well versed in the Scriptures; can quote it very
readily and refer to almost any passage in it.
He is moreover greatly opposed to slavery and
tobacco in every form, and is a decided advo
cate of temperance. He offers $2O to any one
who will find a passage in the Bible which says
that the first day of the week is Sabbath. Al
so, §lO,OOO to any; one jwho will prove from
the Scriptures that sprinkling is baptism'. He
has no converts to his doctrine as yet, nor is he
likely to have from the disposition of the citi
zens towardi him-
I notice an improvement being made in the
Railroad Office of the P. R. R., by enlarging it
to twice its former size and re-painting it. The
enlargement has been needed for some time, and
will, not only expedite the transaction of busi
ness, but will bo n more healthy and comforta
ble room for those who are almost constantly
necessitated to occupy it.
Mabtiksockq, Mabcb 8, 1858.
I presume the next charge to bo preferred
against me, will be that I am given to running
around. I cannot help it The old '• Simon”
will stick out But as I am attending to some
'of my own business, I hope that “Mac” at least
will find no reason to'object to my doing so.—
Now this thing of attending to one’s own busi
ness is a queer sort business, after all the
fuss made 1 about it, add some people, really, can
not find the time to do it, for if they do they
will have no time tjerote to other people’s
business. I think this is “Mao’s” fix. He bos
eome down on me like a few “ thousand of brick”
because I chose to speak the truth. But he says
that “from lath accounts his” Alpha’s “ vera
city is to be doubted,’’ Now if his meaning is
that. I did not tell the truth about AtTawayvbfc
juol cajy gratuitous, butllketheauihor
-of it, aa low. t 'now rwwei*
that Te»U (I db not |mean all, because there are
aa
duce) does contain those who arc given to
“voptriiOOXSSD LTtsto,” and if It be be deemed
necessary I can nome them. But lam not done
yet. They will not only lie but they will de
frand their neighbors. And I verily believe that
there are some men there who would even knock
their own wives down with a hoo-handle, who
would merit other peopWt theep, and be guilty of
various other things that I would denominate—
“ litilt mean thing/."
His (“ Mae’s”) advice as well as bis threats I
despise. I would have him know that I am
willing (at least I am not afraid) to “draw the
bow” with him at any time or in any manner.—
As for his “ breakers in the future” he may rest
assured that 1 bold my own helm and do not
fear them.
“School keeper (not teacher") I suppose he
means by this to say that lam on a level. with
himself. There are people in the world, who
feel their own insignificance and try to drag
others down to their level.. But he is by this try
ing to make me, what nature made him— a fool.
But for the present he may go with the assu
rance that there is no fear on this side of the
water. But as he did we will change the sub
ject.
I am at present enjoying the hospitality of my
friend Col. A. J. Crissman, who is one of those
who may with all propriety be called men , wo
have enjoyed the off denied pleasure of talk
ing old times, over.
This is certainly a beautiful country. And
from all I can learn one of the most productive
valleys of old Pennsylvania, you will evidently
think this is rather a short epistle, but us it is
given on,the impulse of the moment you will
have to be satisfied. ALPHA

I It does not dye the heir like the ttost of the
; hair restoratives, but produces* gradual change
of color from the roots of the hair to the final
end, and gives If a fine end gloss; appearance.
We have seen many persons who hare used it
i successfully, and pronounced it the only inven

I for grey beads.” We commenced using if .about
[•two months since, and if we ore any judge of
age and. beauty, it bos made us at. least ten
years- younger; in fact we are beginning to look
quite young, and feel very much like getting a
young wife. The change is miraculous, and it
would he as difficult to find a grey hair now aa
it would be to find an idea in the' hekd of the

this remedy, and we advise them not to delay
; any longer. It never foils — St. Loidt Herald
ggi. The most skeptical people can be Con
vinced by trial that all the family medicines are
not humbug, and that among the thousand of
butterfly life there are a few of great merit, and
undoubted worth. Of these, Dr. Sandford’s In
vigorator, or Liver llemedy stands first, and
foremost among the remedies of the .day that
cun be relied on ns a medicine that is all it is
recommended by its proprietors. It advertises
itself on every trial, for there are njme who use
it but tell theit friends' to do so, and so it'goes
from mouth to mouth till all the people of the
Uuiou have learned the good of this truly valu
able medicine. It is recommended with testi
monials to prove its virtue for the curb of liver
complaints of every kind, from the Worst Dys
pepsia to a common headache, aud is particular
ly adapted to Jaundice, Deranged Stomach,
Bowel Complaints and diseases of children.
One or two doses are said to cure a cold with
scarce a. failure. It is worth a trial* for this
alone. It is particularly adapted to the use of
ladies, particularly those $f sedentary habits.—
Some ladies of the highest standing in society
have given their certificates of its efficacy, and
we sny to all who are ailing, try one bottle, and
you will never be without it.

When Du Vail’s Galvanic Oil was first
introduced into the market, it never was thought
of being applied, by the proprietor, to Lung di
sease, but its being applicable to almost every
other disease, the afflicted have used this prep
aration in Consumption, and, although it has
never cured a purely consumptive patient, yet
it has.saved many who have been prone to the
disease from an early grave.
