Those who, with us, heurd the rabble on the street, near the ■Methodist Church, on Saturday evening last, an account of which will be found among our ideal items, will agree that sach a meeting should be hold in this place. Had the parents of the boys there collected, been within hearing distance, they would have had their eyes open to a fact which.they do not now dream of, but which will undoubtedly prove a heartache to them hereafter, if they possess the least degree of filial affection. Many,are the ways in which young men and boys .are led to ruin; but the first step is generally a desire to be free from pa rental control, and permission to go where they please, especially after night, with out inquiry. Parents may depend upon it that their boys learn nothing good in congregations which meet at the street corners and on vacant lots, after nightfall, but that they arc almost sure to be doing wrong. Quo of our cotemporaries in speaking of this school for a boy says : ‘*\His parents may depend upon it that he is getting into mischief of some kind, for this step will invariably lead him into bad company of some sort. He will smoke ci gars, begin to drink, acquire the slang of the streets, and presently the profanity of low haunts. If his parents allow him to run out on Sunday, instead of keeping him at home and taking him to church, they will all the more facilitate his pas sage down “the easy slope of hell”—which is the literal translation of the famous words of the Latin poet.” But we fear that parents too often encourage a dese cration of the Sabbath. As' an evidence of this we note that we observed buckets and baskets, which we presumed contain ed berries, coming in from the mountains on Sunday evening last. If parents do nCt allow tbeir children to do such things, it is Impossible that they should be igno rant of them. The writer of the article from which we qnote above, makes a number v . of sugges tions as to the best , way of preven ting boys from acquiring a vicious and good for-nothing disposition, among which is to endeavor to inculcate a taste for reading, and adds that “ parents sometimes make a , very great mistake in prohibiting imagi native reading to their children.” This is true to a certain extent, yet great care should be taken in selecting such reading, as much of it is entirely unfit to go into the hands of children. Taste for different kinds, of reading may be cultivated, and much depends upon the character of the ‘ channel into which it is first directed.— “ Tastes/- adds the same writer; “ are nsysterions things; they flow frOtn the deepest part of our nature and arc hot subject to the airect act of the will. But ; while they flow out from our nature, they can be /arrived in it by judicious culture. Where one boy has been ruined by poe- try and romantic .reading, a thousand have been destroyed by the bad company and low. tastes which result from a vacant mind.-fliodern literature is full of thought and sna the great want of the young”men tmd women of our time is a tastefqr reading. Is this which makes onr gurlsso silly, and our boys so rough and rototZy. /■, Next in importance is the necessity of flnd(pg something that will |nolin©boys and-young men to stay at hoqie, not as- a duty but as a pleasure. Any amount of oarepndexpense that cpn be afforded is well bestowed for this object. Pleasant rooms, agreeable society, pleasant games, epopraions planned with good company, visith to reticle and kindly people^—all may be. tried, if ope is bent upon it, and feels the importance of it,— Anything isbetter than the.gnawingpain: of a drunken or good-for-nothing son. Female society is a thing&r young men. We wist we could say ihat there is noV much sense and culture in young ladies' talk. But still the forms of culti-1 vated society, .the friendships, that natu rally grow dp among well mannered young people,_the necessity of propriety of con duct, and many other nameless results, all show the value of this expedient for preserving young men from ruin. In this age men are ruined young.—; Our climate, our institutions, our customs, our rush and fury, our unchecked and un trained girls; our presumptuous and con ceited boys, our strychnine whiskey and nnuterably low amusements, all work ter-; ribly to the utter ruin of our hoys and young men. They die youngs—perish in their folly, and the tide of life rolls over them. Meanwhile their parents are busy with politics, money or social advance ment, until.it ;is too late. We can con ceive of nothing more important that the' Indianapolis movement, whatever may be the best way of reaching its object. Important State Elections.—ln the next two or three months -various State elections come off whose results will be significant, as indicating the strength of parties, or combinations of parties, and .their bearing on the Presidential, election in November. On the 2nd of August, in North Carolina, an election for State offi cers will take place; ; and in Arkansas, Texas and Missouri elections will be held on the 6th of the same month for Sate officers and members of Congress. In Vermont and Maine similar elections will be held in September, and in Florida, Mississippi, Indiana, lowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania these contests will take place in October. S& “ The Great Eastern will be closed to visitors on Saturday next, 28th inst., and will take her departure for England on the 16th of August. Previous to leaving she is to make an excursion to Cape May. The number of tickets to be sold for the trip are limited, and the price for the excursion, covering three days, is §l6. A large number of passengers, will be taken out by her on her homeward trip, os a great many persons who intend crossing the ocean this season are arrang ing their time so as to go in her if possi ble. She will touch at Halifax on her way out. . „ A little daughter of Col. James W. Power,, of the “ States Union Hotel,” in Philadelphia, was burned to death on Wed nesday last, by her olotbes catching fire from the careless handling of matches^ — This is the second death which has occur red in Mr. P.’s family, within a few years, from the same cause. Mass Meeting at Hollidaysburg. Agreeably to previous notice, a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Peoples’ Party of Blair county was held at Hollidaysbarg, on Tuesday evening, July 23d, 1860. The meeting was organized by the appointment of CoL B. M. McMUETBIE as President, assisted by .the following Vice Presidents —Dr. fl. P. Butler, Jos. Smith, Seth B, UoCune, D. C.

Steam vs Lowell writer * states that a careful computation shows that the steam power of the Great Eastern steamship is equal to . the water power that drives the mills at Lowell. This, if true, gives and idea of the im mense power of the steamer, equal to that re quired for the works of the great manufacturing city of America. ■ "" ! Ziynehing of the lowa , v A few days since W» mentioned tie murder -of a wpmannamed Willis and her two children by oueKephart, at Ottumwa, lowa. A correspond dent of the 'Hawkeye, of that State, chronicles' thojitermination of the affair as follows: I'bavejust witnessed the most exciting and painful scene. Two hundred and fifty men from the;! vicinity of Batavia, where the murdered victims were found, came into Fairfield one hoar ago; organized on horseback end In Wagons,' pasited around the public park orderly and tjniet ly, the poor orphan boy in the van. They rode to tjie court-house and jail, surrounded it and halted; our citizens rapidly assembled—our County Judge asked to be Tieard—next Wilson, Slagle, Collins, from Batavia, Atpheson, Negus, Lamson, Myers wad others. They were all lis tened to—they asked not to defend Kephart, but appealed to all good citizens to defend the lajw. All was of no avail, they had come for 1 Kephart i—they had erected his gallows and dug a grave on: the banks of Cedar—Kephart they would have, and they heldunp the lonely orphan boy. Next they took 'a scs&Uing and battered down door after door to Kephart’s cell and took the feeble old man, black with guilt, from our jail, —he is now on his way to his gallows and his grave. The men who took him from our jail were old and respected citizens of our county and State. They were cool, decided, determined—there are no better citizens in the State, and right or wrong they took toe responsibility. THE EXECUTION. At an early hour of July 6th, the people be gan! to assemble upon the ground where, accor ding to report, Kephart would be hung. The place chosen was on the left hank of Cedar creek upon the road leading north from Batavia to j Abingdon, about a hundred yards or more from the bridge that spans the creek. The writer arrived upon the ground about 10 A. iM., and already a hundred or more people were waiting, and the scaffold was in a state of erection, while two men were nnsy digging the grave. >- • ° By noon two thousand people, at least, bad gathered to witness the execution, which was a novelty, perhaps, to the majority; and on the right of the creek, fronting the scaffold, and the place where the bodies of the murdered woman and children were found, the women, whb numbered three or four hundred, and, as it seemed, were as merry as though they bad been invited to a bridal scone ; but if one at a dis tance bad been deluded, upon drawing near to listen to the chatting, be would have learned then and there, that tender women, kind-heart ed, mild and lovely, can be gay, even when an engine of death stares them in the face: yes, .and' even when a man dangles in the air, whose neck is broken by the fall from the trap door o? the gallows, and who bangs suspended by a rope until the last vestige of life is choked out of him, and his spirit goes to the world of shades. .At 12 o’clock, a messenger arrived with the intelligence that the mob. bad broken into the jail at Fairfield, and taken the prisoner from the power of the law, despite the eloquent speeches that had been spoken in behalf of legal justice, and were fast approaching. At 2 P. M., a distinguished cititizen of Agen cy stepped upon the. scaffold and made a short, neryous harangue to the multitude, in which he approved the proceedings throughout; and in which be remarked that he professed to be a God-fearing man and law-abiding citizen, but when devils came from hell we would send them back. An Underground Railroad.— A London pa per contains a description of the tunnel now building under the streets of London, for the purpose of connecting the city with a series, of railways at the north of the Thames. To have a railway, after the American fashion, passing through a densely populous district, and crossing on a level and over crowded thoroughfares, was considered utterly out of the question. There fore, the plan was resorted to of avoiding the surface altogether, leaving that to the ordinary local traffic and travel, and going entirely under the city with all the passenger and freight trains The tunnel was constructed by making an open cut from the surface of the street down the dis tance required, building the archway, and then replacing the Surface—a cheaper mode than tun nelling. The work has been contracted for. and is now in progress. The company engaged in it have a capital of §42,250,000, in shares of §5O. To avoid any annoyance from smoke, or the combustion of fuel in the tunnel, the traffic is to be worked by light locomotives of a novel and ingenious construction. They-have no fire-box, but will be charged with hot water and steam at a certain temperature, to be supplied by fixed boilers at the termini, and will be furnished with a large heater to assist in maintaining the required temperature. It is believed that each locomotive can be supplied with power sufficient to run the whole tunnel distance. The tunnel is expected to be finished and in working order by 1862. A Mormon Argument. —Elder Hyde, writing in the Deseret News, against the anti-polygamy bill in Congress, winds up with the following ar guments : What a “ terrible fix” some of our priestly members of Congress will be in wbep they die an«p are carried' by angels to Abraham’s bosom. Abraham, of cofurso, is their father, and when they get home to bis bosom and find Sarah lean ing on one arm and H'agar on the other, being in puob close proximity to and so mixed up with polygamy, they may begin to tell the old gentle men of his errors, his corruptions and his wick edness. The old gentleman, won’t stand this, but administer to them a good threshing, telling thejn to keep their noses clean and mind their own business. He will, most likely, regard all suth as illegitimate children; for, if they were his legitimate children, they would do the works of Abraham; and one portion'.of his work was to take unto himself more than pne wife.” jBxPENsiVE Picture. —The Cincinnati Inquirer hah a story of a coachman who made $BOOO very eaiily. He had suspectedithat his mistress was qotlike Csesar’s wife m all things. A gentleman he,'observed, whose name was on the list of the large tax- came quite often to see her, and; queerly 'enough, always in the husband’s abkfence. Thinking this scarcely fair, the coach mt * Nine of our camels, were missing, in searching for which we ap proached .th® edge of one of the sand gults, when we stumbled upon the remains of a cara van bound from Groin, in Hadramant, to Olu- Jaseb. Removing the sand, we* found several dead Arabs, victims of the fell blast of the si moom, in the terror and confusion caused by which they had evidently • wandered blindly to the edge of the treacherous quicksand in which the main body of the caravan, had perished. Among them we found a young man und a girl—brother and sister—clasped ip each others arms. A slight indication of moisture on the bodies of these inspired one with hope that it might not yet be too late to restore them to con sciousness. By judicious and persevering fric tion, and the copious use of lavendar water, with which, luckily, I was always well supplied, I soon had the pleasure of seeing the young girl revive ; while Selim, by the application of simi lar remedies to the youth, was equally successful. Decision as to Endorsements.— The Cincin nati Gazette calls attention to an important de cision by Judge Leavitt, of the United States District Court of Ohio, (concurred in by Judge M’Lean.) The Cbilicotbe branch of the State Bank Of Ohio sent $50,000 in commercial bills to Ludlow, cashier of the Ohio Life and Trust Company Bank at New York, for collection.— Ludlow., instead of bolding the paper until ma turity, ns was his duty, sold it and used the pro ceeds. Before the bills fell due, the Trust Company failed, and subsequently the holders of the paper, who .bought it of Ludlow, sued the Chillicothe Bank as endorsers, the makers of the bills having been enjoined by the Ohio Bank from paying the same. The bills were endorsed by the cashier of the Chillicothe Bank, “Credit my account, J. B. Scott, Cashier.” Thu the Court decided was sufficient notice to third parties that Ludlow had no authority to negotiate the paper, and upon this ground the plaintiffs were non-suited. Had it been endor sed in the usual way as negotiable paper, the defendants would have lost their case. Mr. Scott’s caution, in this particular, saved his bank $50,000, and the establishment of the principle may prevent in the future'll great deal of rascality similar to that practiced by the bold and reckless Ludlow. A Lesson fob. Us.—The New York Sunday Times makes tbe following sensible remarks in alluding to the crime of Rev. Mr. Harden, for Which he suffered death: : The fact that he was a young and good-look ing miuister'Of the Gospel does not tell so much against him as might at first be imagined. The women-folks run after suoh gentlemen with a homage that almost amounts to idolatry. They court a freedom of intimacy on the part of such men whioh easlly leads astray Weak minds, and has tempted many a one to crime whose honest impulses have been m a better direction. .Top many fair ones think that a minister of the Gos pel can do no wrong: and fob many morn think that his prayers and repentance can wipe away both their sm and his own, if, in a moment of passion, both become culpable. It must be dif ficult for a really good man to reaist the Sensu al allurements thus incessantly thrown in bis path; and if he fall, oh 1 what a wopldof scan dal is letloose on his devoted head.' But all tins suggests no ‘ shade of justification fw( the Bey, Mr. Harden when he turned wife poikoner.' wfwnmnredhis hypocritical prayer over the oftte woman he wM sending; with FaioBTFUt Accident.— About 6 o’clhok last Saturday afternoon, a frightful accidenloccur red at the drug store of Loraino & Co., in this borough. It appears that among other articles Which had just been unloaded at their door, was a bottle of sulphuric acid, which, after being plated on a hex. Was accidentally broken. A! large quantity of the acid struck Mr. Loraine on the legs above the knees, and running to bis feet, destroyed his pantaloons and burnt his limbs in a dreadful manner. Several other per sons standing Close by, were more or less burn ed among them two spall boys, one a son of George Richards, and the other a son of George Thorn. Mr. Charles Lattimer and Mr. George Rheum were also slightly burned. Whilst Mr. Richards’ boy was, being token home, to tho op posite side of the street, H. B. Swoopo, Ksq., hurried into the drug to get some soda to apply to the bans and neutralize the effects of to« acid- When be came oat of the door he did not perceive* that toe acid had collected there, and stepping into it, ho fell, dishing his right foot and right band through it, burning them frightfully. His face was also burned badly, and his entire suit of clothes destroyed. He has been confined tip his room ever since, but his wounds are gradually improving. Bfc Lo raine has been, moving round some, but bis inju ries ore also severe., The injuries sustained by others Were comparatively slight; and subject them to little or no inconvenience. It is rather astonishing that, with such a number in close proximity when the accident occurred, so many escaped unhurt— Clearfield Journal, July ISffi. $14,048,896 Peayeb. —The following we 'dip from a re ligious paper. It is headed “Hpts to preach ers,” hut we consider it to be “ hints to all who pray in public.” Some persons—both lay and clerical—while praying, remind one of a school boy trying to bit a certain mark. The manner in which some men pray is an insult to the ma jesty of Heaven. The;paper referred to says: “Avoid long prayers; except it be in the closet. Some men seem to forget themselves, and pray until a congregation ■is absolutely wearied. At the close of the service, especially should the prayer be brief. ‘ The length of a prayer is by no means toe measure either of its earn estness or its comprehensiveness. Always use simple language in prsiyer. The best rhetoric, is a plain, fervent utterance. Pretences are all out of place: Fine figures of speech are not al lowable. It is not to the congregation that a man prays, but to God. Bo direct in your pub lic prayers, that is, keep in mind the act itself, and the profound reverence that belongs to it. Many prayers are elaborate dissertations upon the condition of the people—the character of the circumstances—or they are exhortations, bettor Suited to the body of a. discourse. Such things are irrevelant They belong not to pray er. Prayer is a direct address to the majesty of Heaven. Keep this though before you when you pray, and it will go far toward correcting indecorous familiarity; and a prolix wandering frotn the object of petition.” , • NEW BOOKS » NEW BOOKS ! OEOKGE G.
