Pursuant to previous notice? the Amer
ican and JRopoblican County Committees
met in thf Court-House, at Hollidayaburg,
on Friday-of dost week, and from wbat we
can lea?% we believe tbe meeting was
very harmonious. , A resolution was pas
aed calling a-Peoples’ County Convention,
to be held in Hollidaysburg on Tuesday
the -27 th day of June, (Delegates to
vwjfioh aro to be elected on Saturday pre
vious, 25th, in-tho township between the
hpt|tB of 4 and <7 P. M., and in the Bor-
OUgbsbetween the hours of 7 and 9 P. M.,)
to nominnte candidates for county offices,
and - appoint - Senatorial Gonferrees. A
resolution fixing the basis of representa
tion at tiro delegates from each Borough,
Ward, and election district, was also
passed.
Should that hanuoney which prevails
among the opposition in other places char
acterise - the coming Convention in this
- eonnty,'there can be no doubt of the suc
cltf ,of ■tlmt party at the ensuing election,
- especially whelp the present divided and
distracted condition' of the Democracy is
taken: into consideration. From pres
ent indications, we do not think the breach
■in - the ranks of the latter, can be suffi
ciently healed to enable it to poll a united
• vote for any officer.
Opposition Convention. —The Pco
' pies’; Party State Convention met at Har
risburg pn Wednesday of last week, to
candidates,for Auditor .aid Sur-
veyor General. Hon. David Taggart pre
sided, assisted by a number of Vico Pres
idents. On taking, the Chair, Mr. Tag
gart delivered a short address, which, from
its character, we think was well received
by the Convention. A number of gentle
men - were nominated for tbe offices to be
filled, and -after balletting for a time, the
bhoice fell upon Thosv E. Cochran, of
..York, county, for Auditor General, and
; .Gen. W- H. Keim, of Berks, for Surveyor
' General. Resolutions condemnatory of
the course of the National Administration
on the Kansas question and its wonton

. *the passage of the Homestead Bill giving
one hundred and sixty acres of land to

Railroad Com petition .
tral 1&e» of Railroad, connecting the
West) have been engaged in a
eompetitioa for the trade and travelpas
ring between those points, which most
have tested the foundations of their super
structures if it had been continued. In
their efforts to undermine each other, the
rates on freight and fare had been reduced
to a point below the actual cost of carriage,
and as a matter of oomrse it could not hq
expected that such estate of thingesbonld
long continue. The New Tork Central
was shipping first class freight from New
Tort city to Chicago at the rate ,of 35
cents par 100 lbs,- —25 cents below the
actual cost of carriage. This Bbad had
also reduced its rates of fare In like man
ner, but in doing so found a rival in the
Pcnn’a Central with which it oonld not
hope successfully to cope. On the Bth
inst the Pehn's Central aid Pittsburgh,
Ft. Wayne & Chicago, reduced the fare
from Chicago io Boston to $l4, to New
York $l2, to Baltimore and Philadelphia
$lO, from New York to OinoinUati $10,25,
to St. T.ouis 823^5 X and to other points
in like proportion. This was a niche be
low what the competing routes could stand,
and they had either to “ come down*”
come to terms, or go without business,
and the consequence was a meeting of the
dignitaries who preside over the opposition
lines at the St. Nicholas, New York, qn
Thursday last, at which an amicable dis
cussion was had and a satisfactory basis
of settlement .agreed upon. The new
schedule puts passenger fare hack to old
rates, and the freight tariff is on the basis
of 112 cents per qwt, for the first claqs to
Cincinnati. The New York roads wish
ed to reduce speed and desired, as one of
the, stipulations of the agreement, that the
Pehn’a Central should acquiesce, bat; it
being the shortest line, desired present
fast schedule to remain in force, as it can
make the; time with ease.
For the present, then, there is an end
of railroad competition, but how long the
truce will he observed remains to be seen.

In Paris, unless through treachery 6b private

The increase of vigilance and zeal is owing to

Tortone, hove been arrested and shot, having

This is the most complete and thorough work
of its kind. By writing in a simple, straight
forward style, and rejecting all irrelevant top
ics, the author has been enabled to embody in
this volume an. immense amount of useful and
valuable information, and by far the most ex
tensive collection of elegant patterns that has
ever been brought together in one book. These
patterns are engraved by the best artists and
printed on excellent paper and beautiful style.
Of course such a volume is the rage with the la
dies, who can appreciate tasteful patterns for
adorning their persons and their dwellings.—
They know the value of “Hartley’s Ladies’
Hand-Book,” and are ordering it with a perfect
rush. It is an indispensable book for all who
would be perfect in ornamental work.
Besides the subjects named on the title-page,
we observe that the volume embraces descrip
tions and engravings of all the various kinds of
stitches and descriptions, with illustrated pat

tal to the subject. The number of useful pat
terns for working in this book is greater than
can be obtained in any other way, by paying
ten times the price asked for “ Hartley's La

known author, of whom it has been truly said,
“ That dying, he hat not written a word that he
would wish to erase.” His graphic pen never
tires, and in'this new volume we perceive that
he is still successfully laboring to benefit while
he pleases, and while he cnchans with master
hand tho attention of men, to make them bet
ter. This is more decidedly religious than his
other works, though it is not doctrinal nor sec
tarian, It is a work well calculated to do good,
and is designed to show, that the beauties and
endearments of Christianity are to be developed
amid the etera realities of every-day life, “ and
not to be put aside at the tranquil close of Sab
bath evening.”
