A Mobil Bot.— On Wednesday evening last,
the Local Freight train If eat, on the Mountain’
Division, ah hour and thirty minutes be-
hind time, and consequently was running at a
pretty smart speed. About a mile east of Con
, f ߻ugh, at a sharp curve, a largo rock fell on
the track and broke, one-half going intti the
rirer and the other half remaining on the north
tnic k on which the Local 'Freight was running.
A little boy, on his way from school, discovered
the rock on the track and hearing the train
coning took a red cap from the head of his lit-
tle sister, ran with all his speed to meet the
train and waring the Cap, succeeded in stopping
it. The engineer says that bo certainly would
haTOtTUD into the rock, had ho not been signal
led, as he could not have seen it in tiqie to
check the-train. The, boy who thus.exhibited
m much forethought, and a knowledge of the
me of signals, and the consequences to the
train in case it was not stopped, is said to be
only about 10 years of age. The taking of his
sister's red cap 1 to use as a signal, evinces a self-'
possession and thoughtfulness in such an emer
gency, which would do credit to any man of
mature years. For one of his years he .is cer
tainly a model boy. His actions in this case
certainly deserves (and We are pleased to say
he has received) a.suitable reward.
CHunca Doue Loafing.—Every paper in the
country should contain an article weekly,' on the
jirnicious and reprehensible practice of church
door loufing. It is a trick indulged in by a set
of young men, who, while they have not , yet
sufficient courage to walk up to a girl abd offer
their arm, have all the inclination. They no
doubt sometimes screw up their courage to the
point, and.think they will take a girl home, hut
when the ladies step out of church the courage of
the;would be gallants all ooze out at their finger
cuds, and instead of being gallants, as 1 they
should be, they make .themselves blackguards
by indecently peering into the faces of the
ladies and making npgentlemanly remarks.—
Since these young men have not the courage or
manliness to ask the privilege of accompanying
the ladies home, we would suggest .that the la
dies act the gallant and.ask of the young men
the privilege of escorting: them home, as they
certainly should not he allowed to N stay away
from their mothers so long after nightfall! We
hope the ladies will consider this matter seri
ously and do something for the young men soon.
We know they will receive the thanks of the
mother’s of the young men for bringing them
home at reasbntiblo hours..
Tut CoLPomeoa.—Mr. Jonathan Foqht, Col
porteur of the American Tract Society, who has
just finished canvassing this place, gives us the
fallowing statement of the number of families
visited and. the amount of his sales as compared
with those of last year:—
Vnmilic. vicited in 1859, 663,—Amount of sales, $271 95
“ “ 1860, 827, “ •«; 303 20
incr«L"p,
Mr. Focht myites It his business to visit.every
family In the town which he canvasses, taking
the streets m regular, order, and his facilities for
obtaining, the exact number ,pf families, are,
therefore, the best that could be adopted. The
increase in the number of families in this place,
in. one year, is more than double what we imag
ined it would be. Taking the general average
of five to a family, we have 870 of an increase
of population in one year. Should we have a
corresponding increase for the next five years'
(some think it will be greater), we Will be after
spplying for a city charter. ’
Hr. Focht desires us to .return his thanks to
the citizens of this place for the kind manner in
which they received his visits and their liberali
ty in the purchase of his works.
Fa.ebweu. Sbbuox.—Wo understood that
Hot. J. Stock, of the Lutheran Church of this
place, preached bis farewell sermon.on Sunday

Run-otf and Bexakdown. —Oa Friday eve
ning last, two horses Attached to a carriage,
the property of Col. £. Baker, of Allegheny
Furnace, took fright at something in front of
Mann's store, and started down Virginia street
at a speed not consistent with safety. First the
carriage struck a hatcher wagon, standing in
front of Leonard’s Market bouse, .breaking an
axle of the wagon, proceeding a little further,
it run into the gutter in front of Joggard’s store,
where one of the wheels broke down and bronght'
the. carriage to a sudden halt, but the horses
being inclined to go on broke the tongue loose
and proceeded on their way dowq town, much
to the detriment of tree boxes and trees, and
were finally brought up by a tree in front of the
Superintendent’s office. The driver, wVo was
in the carriage at the time, and bad a fast hold
on tbe lines, was jerked out rather unceremoni
ously when the carriage halted, but was not
much injured.
Goon Flour.—Good flour is almost a godsend
these days, the preponderance of bad flour being
aogreat. That which is now called good wheat
flour, would hardly have been considered good
rye flour a few years since. The fault, however,
is said not to be with the millers, hut in the
grain, it having grown too large last year, and
been too much exposed, to the sun while ripen
ing. Be these excuses for bad flour true or
false, we know that the flour manufactured at
Baker’s Crystal Spring Mills it good flour, (not
withstanding the defects : in the grain) as we
have tried some of it. This Mill has always
been celebrated for .turning out the best flour to
be had in this or any other part of the country,
and it bids fair to keep up its reputation. Flour
from the Crystal Spring Mills.may be had in
sacks of 25 or 50 lbs. weight,' or in barrels, at
almost any of the stores in town.
'The Best Cough Kkhkdv Knows. —There is
no doubt about the fact that Dr. Keyser’s Pecto
ral Syrup is one of the most remarkable .cough
medicines now offered to the public. Old cases
of lung disease, bronchial, and every variety of
lung disease, have yielded to its wonderful pow
ers, and we therefore feel no hesitation in re
commending our readers who .may be afflicted in
that way to try'it. Theresa very little cost at
tending the purchase of a bottle, which though
it should not core) it will do no harm. We know
Dr. Keyser to be a regular physician ; conscien
tious in the discharge of his business, and our
readers will Audit safer to trust such a man’s
statements, than hundreds of those who ore un
known to the community. For sale by Geo. W.
Kessler.
Small Pox. —ls this a Fact?—lf the follow
ing, which we find among the local items .of a
cotemporary, be true, it will certainly be of ad
vantage to gas companies and gas (fitters:—A
medical gentleman writes to a Now Fork paper
that, from all the information he can obtain
from medical men now having coses of Small
Pox under treatment, that there is n? house
where gas is burned, of the ordinaiy consumF* -
tion, in which the disease has yet found lodg-.
raent. The gas is a powerful disinfectant, and'
hence there is no contagion within the circle of
its influence, lie says that a person burning
gas may contract the disease abroad and take it
home with him, bat it wilt not be communica
ted to any .other member of his family.
• We stepped into the picture gallery, of
Mr. Amey, n few days since, and examined a
fpw of bis specimens, and if we are a judge of
good pictures, and we think we are, we consi
der his specimens the .best ever exhibited in the
place. - Why, some of the pictures of our friends
were so perfect that they almost spoke, and we
felt like saying “ good morning” to them. .If
you .wish to view the beautiful and perfect, go
to Amoy’s gallery. We will not advise you to
get a picture taken, for the reason that you will
not leave without one if you examine his speci
mens.

I award it to you cheerfully, because I think it due. My
