Is IT NOT SO?. —If you have a wife and children is it not a pleasant thought that you will hand down to future genera tions a complete description and a perfect record, with likenesses of yourself and them? This is the reflection that those persons enjoy who have secured a "Photograph Family Record." MCSICAI.. —The only REEL) instrument that the celebrated Pianist GOTTNCHALK. will itseor recommend, is Mason & Hamlin's Cabinet Organ, and of them he says: "Tour Cabinet Organ is truly a charming instrument, WORTHY of the high praise it has received, and EAR SUPERIOR to every thing of its class I have seen." 11. M. Greene the agent for this county has constantly on hand at his Music Store, Huntingdon, Pa, a full assortment of these instruments and also of Steinway & Son's Pianos which he sells at Manufacturer'a prices. DR lIICKOK of our town we are pleased to learn is Mr Greene's agent in Bedfcrd County and Circulars and informa tion in full can he had of him upon applica tion. NEWSPAPORIAL. —There has been a num ber of newspaper changes which we have neglected to notice up to the present, and while we have our hand in we shall notice all those that present themselves to our recollec- T. B. Penniman, Esq., formerly of the Ilonesdale Republic, has assumed charge of the Pittsburgh Gazette as editor in chief. The Gazette has also been enlarged and improved. We take pleasure in recommending as one of the best and most reliable political journals in Western Pennsylvania. Benj. Bennan, Esq., of the Miner's Jour nal, at Pottsvills, proproses to issue a daily as soon as he secures a press. Success to him. P. C. YanGelder, late of the Williamsport Bulletin, joins M. H. Cobb in the publication ot that staunch republican journal, the Agita tor, at Wellsboro, Pa. They intend to en large. The Pittsburgh Daily Commercial has been enlarged and materially improved. It is now one of the largest daily papers in the State, its proprietors manifest great enterprise in giviDg it an extensive circulation. It ap pears to have the run of the cars both East and West of Pittsburgh. We have found it difficult to get any other journal. We are sorry that its go-aheadativeness does not war rant it in keeping up with progressive princi ples. The Chambersburg Repository comes to us very much enlarged. It is now in its seven ty-third year. It is certainly one of the most ably conducted political papers in the State. There are very few county papers that exceed its circulation. Whitaker retires from the Huntingdon Journal, and K. McDevitt, is supposed to be his successor. There has been, also, a change 011 the Monitor , but it would require a daily edition of the Inquirer to regularly announc e the changes on that paper. We are led to believe that both the Monitor and Fulton Leviocrat are used as infant schools in which to drill Copperhead editors for better posi tions. The responsibility of the Shirleysburg Her ald devolves upon Ben. Lutz. We hope that Benjamin will be able to bear up nnder it. We wish him abundant success. BOUNTY AND COMMUTATION. —We are frequently asked whether any provision has been made to equalize the Bounties to vol unteers who volunteered in 1861-2. To all who interrogate us upon the subject we are compelled to answer that Congress has made no such provision, but a bill is now before the Committee on Military affairs in the bower House. looking to that end. In the meanwhile we would warn our veteran friends against selling or in any manner disposing of their discharges. We are confident that Congress intends to do justice to those brave men, who in the early part of the rebellion with a pure love of country, and without, the hope of pecuniary reward forsook their peaceful pursuits to protect the sacred flag of the free when it was as soiled by the red hand of treason, by properly recompensing them for their sacrifices. When Congress does so we will inform those en titled to receive under it. We have, also, been frequently asked in regard to the re funding of the $3OO commutation paid by those who were aftewards drafted and went into service or put in substitutes. To those we answer that at present we do not know that the Department has decided to refund. Me will inform our friends when we re ceive the determination of the Depart ment. In the meantime any person desiring us to attend to procuring this Bounty (in case Congress passes a law equalizing them) or to secure the ret uuding of the $3OO, can " ave their papers with us and they shall iitf;flfJnil BOOK NOTICES. THE FOREIGN QUARTERLIES.— The London, Edinburgh, North British, and Westminster Quarterly Reviews, republished by Leonard, Scott & Co., New York, have been on our table for some time, and have demanded an early notice at our hands. These reviews contain the cream of the foreign critical press. No one, with the teeming press of modern timeB,can expect to be well advised of all that is progressing in the scientific and literary world without these reviews. The Westminster for October opens with an able and exhaustive article upon popular representation, arguing in favor of its univer sal extension. The Review adopts Mr. Hare's theory of representation, which has attracted favorable attention. Mr- Hare's theory may be briefly stated thus: He endeav ors to obtain a fair representation of minori ties: giving to all electors in proportion to the numbers of the respective parties, a voice in the public deliberations, instead of the repre sentation of majorities prevailing in localities leaving defeated minorities without represen tation. For illustration the counties of Bed ford, Somerset and Fulton seud two represen tatives to the Assembly, of a particular par ty, leaving unrepresented a large minority. Mr. Hare's theory is intended to obviate this inequality, and he would extend this repre sentation until so large a vote is obtained as would include and group these fragments and minorities together by going beyond the dis trict to obtain a representation. Under the present system in a representative govern ment, if one interest or party be predominant in twenty constituencies, twenty members may be elected to represent these majorities, although the minorities may amount to a num ber not far short of the successful majorities. In each of the districts one vote might deter mine the election, and twenty votes might determine twenty elections, leaving thou sands of electors without a representation. Locality is not essential to this theory. Every elector is at libeity to vote for whomsoever he chooses, and every representative then has a unanimous constituency. We have not space to dwell longer upon the numerous de tails of the plan, but would refer our readers to the article in question and to the work of Mr. Thomas Hare. The remaining arti cles are: Rationalism in Europe; Capacities of Women; Palgrave,s Travels in Arabia; The Holy Roman Empire; The Doctrine of Na tionalities and BcheswigHolstein;Mr. Grates' I'eatos Letters from Egypt. We note the contents of the others as fol lows: London Quarterly Review , for October, (Conservative): "Cathedrals of England," "The Mariners' Compass," "The Resources, Condition and Prospects of Italy," "The Po etry of Praed and Lord Houghton," "Blind People," "Field Sports of the Ancient Greeks and Romans," "The Gallician Church," "The Russians in Central Asia." Edinburg Review, (Whig): "Journal and Correspondence of Miss Berry," "Life in the Criminal Cases," "The Rock-cut Temples oi India," "Life of Carl Maria Von Weber," "Campbell's Frost and Fire," "Posthumous, Writings of Alexis de Tocqueville," "Pal grave's Arabia,i' "The Crotnwellian Settle ment of Ireland," ''Sir Thomas Wyse's Pe loponnesus," and "American Psychomancy." THE ELECTIC. —The first number of the new series of the Electic is on our table. Those who are familiar with Littell's Museum and Living Age, will understand the scope of this periodical. As its name indicates, it is a selection of the best articles from the Period icals of Europe. The selections are made with rare judgment and taste. The frontes piece is an exquisite engraving ot Shakes peare with his family at Stratford reading the tradegy of Hamlet. The leading articles are the Dante Commemoration, from the London Quarterly; some reminiscences of Leigh Hunt the poet andpolitician, and Coleridge the mat aphysieian,- witty, humorous, pretty women of the time of Horace Walpole. Our "YOUNG FOLKS" is without a rival in its claims upon the patronage of the young. No more pleasing present for New Year could be made to our young folks. The mat ter is full of interest and instruction to the young, and it will awaken a taste for reading and study, that might otherwise never be aroused. The December number of BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE is on our table. The number opens with part IV of the memoirs of Herr Von Borcke, Chief of Stall'to Gen. J. E. B. Stu art, of the Confederate army. The author formerly belonged, as his name indicates, to the Prussian army. He tells bis stery very well, but bis statements must be taken cum grano sails. He is the hero of innumerable daring personal adventures, from which he always magages to extricate himself with con summate skill. Take the following as a spe cimen of his style, and of the disposition to spin a good yarn which we have mentioned. The style is that of the inimitable Baron Von Trenck: "One of the Yankee officers, who as I was later informed, was the colonel of the regi ment that had effected its escape from Har per's Ferry, had attracted my attention the previous day by his gallantry and the excel lent dispositions he made of his troops. Here 1 saw him again, galloping very near us on a handsome grey horse, quickly discoverning our weak points, and posting and instructing his men accordingly. After having left him undisturbed for some time, I thought it neces sary to put a stop to his proceedings, and se lecting a conple of my infantry who had been pointed out to me as the best shots, I made across the open space in front of our lines directly towards him. Having arrived with in reasonable distance, I ordered my sharp shooters to fire at the daring ceionel, who was moving along at an easy gallop, without paying me the slightest attention. After sev eral bullets had whistled quite close to him, he suddenly halted, and, turning round, ad vanced a few steps and made me a military salute in the most graceful manner possible. Then calling out to one of his men to hand him a carbine, he raised the weapon, took a deliberate aim at me, and sent his ball so close to my head that I thought it had carried away a lock of my hair. I saluted him now on my part, and, wheeling round quietly, both of us rode back to our respective lines. So courtesies are sometimes exchanged in the midst of hostile conflict." The remaining articles are Miss Marjori banks, part XI; The Handy Horse Book, &c. HARPER KOR JANUARY. —We have neglected to notice this excellent number of Harper. The British Route to the Pacific is the sub ject of the opening article, and it is probably the most admirably illustrated paper ever contributed to a magazine. The illustrations are full pictures, giving a good and interest ing panorama of the graud western scenery that greets the eye throughout the route. ARTHUR'S HOME MAGAZINE for January, 186H, (T. S. Arthur & C 0.,323 Walnut street, Philadelphia,) presents us with a more than usually inviting table of contents, we enumer ate as follows.
