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

few temptations to vice, idleness or dissipation;
situated in a rich agricultural section, this Insti

religion is inculcated both by precept and exam
ple. "In things necessary, unity; in things doubt
ful, liberty; and in all things, Charity."
