AUTHOR'S HOME MAGAZINE for March is cn our table containing its usual variety of entertaining and instructive reading matter. Published by T. S. Arthur & Co. 323 Walnut street Philadelphia. Price per single copy 51.50 per year or 3 copies for $6.00. BgL- We learn that the Post Office Depart ment has established a Post Office at the Spring Mills in St. Clair township, and ap pointed Gideon D. Trout, Esq., post master. This is an excellent arrangement and a mer ited appointment. We think the office is called "Spring Meadowr:" SgL. Barnhart k McMullin have removed their grocery and provision store to the next door west, in Cams' building. They have not net struck oil, but by last accounts they have struck beneath the surface of the earth about seventy-five thousand feet, a deep vein of J.auer's Reading ale —in oleaginous par lance, a paying well. #3?" The card of J.'M'D. Sharp and E. F. Kerr, who have entered into partnership in the practice of the law, will be found in to-day'B paper. These gentlemen will give their attention to all business entrusted to their care in a maimer to give entire satisfac tion. The man who does no paper take, Grudging two dollars once a year, Will never a good husband make, Because, he will always ignorant appear. But a man will make an excellent husband, were lie to go to J. L. Lewis' Drug Store, and purchase a package of Howes family dye colors. Any shade can be obtained pre pared ready for use, and warranted to be fast colors. GOOD TEMPLARS. —An order of good Tem plars was organized here some weeks ago and it already numbers some seventy or eighty members. This is very encouraging. A number of our best citizens are connected with it and give it cast and character. An organization of this character was very much demanded. We will be pleased to publish a list of the uaraes of the officers if they are handed to us? LECTURE. —The Rev. J. A. Barrow will deliver by request his second Lecture on London, at the Court House on Tuesday eve ning the 13th inst., for the benefit of the Cemetery Association. The first lecture of Mr. Barrow, delivered during Court week was exceedingly-interesting, and we may an ticipate from this second one of the series, as much pleasure as we experienced in listen ing to him on the former occasion. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW for January reprint by Leonard Scott & Co, 38 Walker street New York, contains"John Stuart Mill on the Philosophy of Sir W. Hamilton," "Precursors of the French Revolution," "Lord Palinerston," "Coleridge's Writings," "'Physiological Experiments," "The Polish Insurrection of 1863," "Dr. Livingston's Recent Travels," with an extensive review of contemporary Literature." SPRING ELECTION. —The Republican Union men of this County will proceed to nominate tickets in the various districts for the differ ent offices to be filled at the election to be held on the 10th instant. It is very impor tant that election boards to be elected should be ofthe right metal, as much depends upon them. Men are frequently elected who forget the oath they have taken before the words cease to wring in their ears, and they labor solely to subserve the interest of their party. Such men must not be elected. The Union men of Bedford borough, Harrison, Liberty, Lon donderry, St. Clrir, and South Woodberry can carry their electiop boards if our men *lll only make a little exertion. Let the *ork be done at once, this coming election is the first movement towards the great cam paign of this fall. If we desire to be suc cessful this fall we must be successful now. THE WOODBERRY MAIL ROUTE. —A fruitless effert has again been made to place- a daily mail on this route, which is certainly very annoying to us. We had thought that if 'heir were any merit in claims for a daily mail this route possessed them, but it seems 'hat the whole matter is in the hand of the present contractor who refuses to accommo date the people on that route unless he is paid two prices for his services. The con 'factor at present carries a tri-weekly mail from Martinsburg to Hopewell for $3.00, and refines to carry it daily for less than $7.00. This, the Department will not pay nor will it receive bids from outside parties, so that the convenience of the entire community must he set at defiance by an individual. In a short time a second traiu will be put on the Broad Top Railroad and thus will relieve people on the above route to some extent. A STORMY NIGHT. —The dwellers 111 Juliana street, although exempt from much ot the noise and tumult of canine revelry, have not always as quiet a time as might be imagined. Last Monday night was a stormy one. The wind was out for a high old time, and he had one. All the windows of the Court House were open, slamming and banging teritically. Strange forms were seen flitting about amid the arches and through the hall, and the oc casional shrieks that were heard above the banging of the shutters, were supposed to proceed from some luckless juror who had fallen asleep, and had been left behind, and was now whisked about in the mazes ot a witch dance, and out of the window on a broom stick. In short, it was a genuine Wal purgis night To add to the general uproar, the garrulous old town clock went hammering away not less than thirty times, a most impor tunate but unnecessary appeal to everybody within its sound to wake up—wake up. Amid all these noises in a swound, a neighbors dog rushed out and bayed the March moon as fiercely and as loud as the famous dog of Clandewah, and like Macbeth effectually mur dered sleep. INFORMATION WANTED. —OLIVER P. BAKER, concerning whom information is wanted, was the son of John C. Baker, of Clay township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Said Oliver P. Baker, was a private in Co. C, 181 th Regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, and was captured South of Petersburg, Va., on the 22nd of June, 1864, and, as is suppo sed, taken to Richmond; but of whose fate his friends have as yat been unable to obtain any satisfactory account. Recently, however, in formation has been obtained that a young man residing somewhere in Bedford County, Pa., who belonged to Co. A. of the same reg iment, was captured at the same time, and who, it is said, was acquainted with Oliver P. Baker, and knew his fate. Any information, therefore, from said young man, whoaa name has not been learn ed, will be thankfully received, and, if satis factory, will be liberally rewarded. Letters should be addressed to John C. Baker, Dub lin Mills, Fulton Co., Pa. Tun FOUR EAST AND WEST TRUNK LINES. —The first and foremost east and west line across Pennsylvania, between the Susquehan na river and Ohio, is the Pennsylvania, Rail road, via the Juniata valley, Johnstown and Greensburg, to Pittsburg; the second is the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, via the West Branch valley, Ridgewav and Warren, to Erie City; the "third is the Atlantic and Great Western combination line, via Beech creek, Clearfield and Brookvdle, to Franklin ; the fourth is the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad route, via the Cumberland valley, Bedford and Conneiisville, to Pittsburg, with a branch to Washington to reach Wheeling. This is the ground plan that will do the State most service, and which, moreover, will be devel oped in practical operation by the logic of events, the force of circumstances. Its ear liest possible consummation is "devoutly to be wished," for the good of the whole people of the Commonwealth.— U. 8. R. R. Reg ister. THE LADY'S FRIEND. —The March number of this magazine is on our table, "The Im pending Ruin," a fine and expressive steel engraving, illustrative of a story of the same name, leads off the number.
