LOCAL § OTHER MATTERS.
Croce Depication.—We sro requested
to announce that the new United Brethren
Church, at Millheim, will be dedicated to
the service of Almighty God op the first
Sunday in February, 1862. The public are
most respectfully invited to attend.
Ar Home. —We ate pleased to see our
young and handsome friend, Lieut. James
J. Brisbin, formerly editor of the CENTRE
DzxocRaT, but now Second Lieutenant of
Brown’s Sharpshooters, at Camp Curtin, at
home once more. Our friend wears Lis hon.
ors very gracefully, and we have no doubt
that, when the right time comes, he will
prove himself as brave as he is handsome.
The Lieutenant is looking remarkably well
and expresses himself highly pleased at his
transformation frown a poor devil of an edi~
tor into an officer of the United States army.
We congratulate him upon his good luck;
and now that he has laid down the pen 2nd
taken up the sword, he has our best wishes
for hiscomplete success. May his sabre
never be drawn in an unholy cause, nop
sheathed in a righteous one.

Bap Eaors Varrer RaitRoap.—From
the Central Press, of last week, we copy the
following item in regard to the above-named
road, towards the completion of which we
are all looking forward so anxiously. If
present appearances can be relied on, we
may soon expect to see the ‘‘ iron horse’
snorting up and down the Bald Eagle Val-
ley. The Press says: ‘‘ We announced
some wecks ago in the Press that operations
were, or 800n would be. commenced to the
speedy completion of this, to Centre county,
great and important improvement. We are
now enabled to furnish our reader- with the
gratifying intelligence that the company has
been organized and they have elected their
officers on last Monday, the 13th inst., in
Lock Haven. For President of the Board,
Philip M. Price, Esq., was elected, and D.
K. Jackman, Jno. W. Maynard, ‘Thos. A.
Scott, Edmund Blanchard, James Gamble
and James Chatham elected as Directors. —
We are authorized to say that the work will
commence upon the whole road as one hun-
dred men will be divided 80 as to finish the
bridges a8 soon as possible, and the track
commenced to be laid at Tyrone at once.—
This will enable the company to furnish all
the materials within reasonable distance of
the places where they will be needed.’
The Press also states that J. I. Thompson,
of Bald Eagle Valley, has received the con
tract to furnish the Road with 40,000 ties
and the lumber necessary for the bridges.
“i 0 ;
Hien Wiren.—The recent rains have
caused such a rise in the various streams
throughout the county, as to be productive
of considerable damage. Spring Creek, at
thi. place;:was very high, and an old build:
ing occupied by Mr. Ryan, of Ryan's Foun
dry, as a place for keeping patterns, &c.,
was washed from its foundation, and a num
ber of machines of various kinds were there-
by set afloat. We believe, however, that
the actual damage done, was inconsiderable
We also understand that the freshet caus-
ed a break in Mann's dam, a few miles from
town.
rm ee (me
DR. Jory B. MircHELL, the newly elected
Treasurer of this county, entered upon the
duties of his office on the first Monday of
the present month, and is now under full
headway. We have been requested to say
for the benefitof Dr. Mitchell's large circle
of patients, that his election to the office of
County Treasurer, will, in no wise, interfere
with the practice of his profession, as he
has placed the Treasurer’s office under the
control of Mr. J. D. Shugert—than whom a
more efficient and trustworthy gentleman for
the position can not be found—thus leaving
the Doctor free to practice his prof as
usual. Dr. Mitchell’s patients will be glad
to learn this, as we understand the impres-
sion had gone abroad that he would be com-
pelled to discontinue his professional duties,
Ra .
Loarers.—For some time past, we have
been annoyed almost beyond endurance, by
a set of fellows who seem to consider our
office their headquarters. They come in,
sit down, and laugh and talk as though our
compositors had nothing to do but listen to
their nonsensical gabble. Hitherto, we have
refrained from saying anything to them, be-
cause we did riot wish to wound their feel~
ings if we could help it; but the nuisance
has at last become unbearable, and we now
state, for the benefit of all who have been in
the habit of making this office their rendez-
vous, that we would thank them to keep out
snd not annoy us any more with their un-
welcome presénce. We do not wish to be
thought churlish fo sch matters, bat are
willing to be considered so, rather than put
up with this loafing impudence any longer.
Therefore, we say, once forall, to those who
may come under the'above heaciug, keep out
of our office, for your absence is greatly to
bo preferred to your company ; and you will
thus save us the trouble of some day telling
you to leave. -: Let those who think the shoe
fits them, putit on.

WARLIKE ENTeRPRISE. — Napoleon remark
ed at St. Helena:—‘ Generals are rarely
found eager to give battle ; they choose their
positions, establish th Ives, id
their binations, but then commences
their indeci~ion ; nothing is so difficult and
at the same time so important as to know
when to decide.”
** Wellington said : —* The fault with
most commanders, however brave, is back-
wardness in taking the last step to bring on
a battle, especially when armies are large ;
arising from moral anxieties, and after all
the uncertainties of the issue.’
Washington, in a letter to Congress in
1780, expressly speaks of ¢* our security de-
pending on want of enterprise in the enemy.
and says that, we-have been indebted for our
safety during the greater part of the war lo
their activity ”
Tae Arcmsismor oF New Yomrk.—The
Paris correspondent of the London Tablet
writes :— ** The Archbishop of New York
preached in St. Roch on the Feast of the Im-
muculate Conception, before a crowded and
promiscuous audience. He made no allusion
to passing events, much to the disappoint-
ment of the curious. We hear that his opin-
ions on political matters are to be produced
in form of a pamphlet, to be addressed to
John Bright, and will appearin a few days.
All here were much impressed with the calm
dignity of his manner. It seems generally
understood amongst Americans that he is ac-
credited from President Lincoln with a secret
mission to Europe.
BE I...
Uram APPLYING. —In the absorbtion of
the public mind in stirring events of the re-
bellion the Mormon Territory out in the
great Salt Lake region has probably been
the last thing thought of ; and it 18 a little
startling to hear that Utah is knocking at
the door of the Union, and asking 10 be let
in. A Convention is to meet on the 20th of
this month, to draw up and adopt a Uonsti~
tution for a State Government, which will be
submitted to the peopie for their approval. —
When the people have voted for it, applica-
"tion will be made to Congress for the admis-
sion of the State into the Union and the peo~
peor Utab hope it wili be accomplished
‘during the present session.
Waar 1s Sam oF 1r.—The Washington |
correspondent of Greely’s Tribune, speak-
ing of Cameron’s removal from the War |
Department, says :
If a bomub-shell had fallen into the Sen-
ate Chamber, it could not have produced a
greater sensation than did the Presidents
nomination of Mr. S:anton to the office of
Secretary of War, followed by the nomina~
tion or Simon Cameron as Minister to Rus-
sia. It was felt to be the solemn condem-
nation, by the Administration and the reg
ular army, of the policy of emancipation and
arming the slaves of rebels, so strongly re-
commended in the report of the Secretary of
War. Senators saw in it an open issue with
the anti-slavery feeling of the North and
West.”
The New York Jonrnal of Commerce
corroborates this view of the matter. Itsays :
« On the slavery question, it is well known
Mr. Stanton’s views are firmly opposed to
any of the schemes of proclaiming emanci-
pation or arming the slaves.’
And further, that—
The appointment is said to be highly
satisfactory to General McClellan.”
em
07" In his speech delivered in the House
of Representatives, on the 13th inst., Mr.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, presented some
startling facts respecting the Govern inent
contract for guns. Ie stated that contracts
had been given out to private individuals to
the amount of thirty-seven millions of dol-
larg, and that the contractors cannot furnish
the first musket under the contract within
six months, as they have no machinery.--
He stated further, that returns fron the
War Department showed that the price paid
for muskets to these gun-contractors was
nea'ly eight dollars more than the same ar-
ticle costs at the Springfield armory. The
speech made a profound impression upon the
House.
err QO pm ee
I= Mr. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the
Navy, has submitted to Congress a state
ment, longer than a President's message, de-
fending himself against the implications of
fraud contained in the repo:t of the Van
Wyck Committee. He admits that the Gov
ernment was outrageously swindled in a
number of cases, but denies that he had
any agency in these transactions. He de-
fends the operations of Mr. Geo. D. Morgan
of New York, as advantageous and an actu-
al saving to the Government in the purch-
ase of vessels. Mr. Morgan himself denies
that he wade $95,000 in threge months from
commissions. He orly made $75,000.

incurable for ysars. Ifer mother has bewn tony griev-
ously afflicted with blotches and pimples oh her skin and

Bilious Disorders — Liver Complaints,
From Dr. Theodore Belly of New York Cily.
Not ouly are your Pills admirably adapted to their pur-
ose as an aperient, but I find their beneficidl effects upon
the Liver very marked indeed. They have in my prac-
tice proved more tual for tlio cure of bdilious cone
plaints than any one remedy I caw montion. I sincerely
rejoice that we have at length a purgative which is wore
thy the confidence of the profession and tlie people.

guy they are the best cathartic we omplo i
lating action on the liver is quick aud decided, comse-
quently they are an admirable yemedy for derangsments
of that organ. Indeed, I have seldom found a case of
bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily yield to
them. Fraternally yours. ALONZO BALL, 3. D.,

From Dr. J. G. Green, of Chicago.
Your Pills have had a long tri} itn my practice, and I
hold them in esteem as one of thie lest aperients 1 have
ever found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes
them an excellent remedy, when given in small doses for
bilious dysentery and diwrrkea. hoi BUgAr-Conling

of wemen and children.
