fißfc,llon. Thomas 11. Burrowes, of Lan
caster, Superintendent of Soldiers' Orphans
of the State of Pennsylvania, is very desirous
of establishing a Soldiers' Orphan School in
this county, but up to the present writing he
has been unable to procure a suitable build
ing. Such a school is regarded as almost a
matter of necessity in this region. 1 hera are
very many orphans in this county that require
the immediate advantage of one of these
schools. Is there no suitable building to be
had in the county, within five or six miles of
the railroad, which could be applied to this
purpose?

HANGMAN'S DAY —Governor Curtia has put
an end to the superstitions practice too prev
alent in this country, of ordering public exe
cutions to be made on Friday, which day of
the week is therefore kept in bad repute, as
"Hangman's Day." A short time ago he
ordered a criminal to be executed on some
other day, Monday, if we are not mistaken.
He has just issued another death warrant for
an execution in Lycoming county, naming
Tuesday as the day for the completion of the
sentence. If the Governors of other States
would combine to discountenance the peculiar
practice of choosing Fridays for executions,
iti a few years the ancient superstition which
assigns bad luck to that day, would be alto
gether forgotten.— Exchange.
How TO r>o CP SHIRT 80-OMS. —We have
often heard ladies express a desire to know
by what process the fine gioss observed on

following receipt for mrking Gum Arabic
Starch: Take two oz. fine white Gum Ara
bic powder, put it into a pitcher, and pour on
a pint or more of boiling water —according
to the strength you desire—and then having
covered it let it set all night. the morn
ing pour carefully from the dregs, into a bot
tle, cork it and keep it for use. A table
spoonful of gum water stirred into a pint of
starch, tnade.in the usual manner, will give to
either white or printed lawns a look of new
ness; which nothing else can restore them
after washing. Much diluted, it is also good
for thin muslin and bobinet.- Exchange.

SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.—
There has been for months a death-like si
lence in regard to this projected line of Rail
wav. We are no lenger bored with columns
of judicial decisions involving rights of way,
or questioning the status of legislative enact
ments. Even here there appears to be a
"season of rest." And yet no one knows
what has been gained or lost. The impene
trable darkness into which the "Great Legal
Fight" has precipitated the matter, is alto
gether incomprehensible. Whether like the
Phoenix it will rise from its ashes and aston
ish the world with its greatness and splendor,
remains to be seen. The seeming quietness
into which it has subsided, however, has by
no means lulled the people here on the pa
per line, into a lethean sleep ; not a bit of
it.
The people have been earnestly regarding
the innumerable "pin 3 that have been put
down by the. engineers, ami have involuntarily
shuddered at the idea of twenty lines of rail
road. Every foot of Epace from Chambers
buig up over the mountains—the engineers
alone know where —has been covered with
pins until it has been dangerous to invade the
territory, which tlieroad may some day cover,
drunk or sober, without running the risk of
having your shins skinned, your body run
through or your neck broken by coming in
contact with this terrible nuisance, in compar
ison with which an inverted harrow is hut a
feint illustration.
Two corps of engineers have vibrated be
tween Pittsburgh and Chambersburg for two
years, and if they have aot pot down a suffi
cient number of the "pegs," then there is no
virtue in engineering. At last we learn indi
rectly, that the mere "sticking of pins" is
about to come to an end, that the experimen
tal and locating lines have all been run, and
that the whole is about to be "dotted" on
paper. How long it will take to do this will
depend, we suppose, very much in what
length of time the Company desire it to be
done, and if we arelett to judge from the past,
the Company will not be likely to order the
matter through with telegraphic speed.
We desire in this connection to call the
attention of ali concerned to the following
section of an act passed by the last Legisla
ture, which may have passed from the recol
tion of Col. Wright and o'her3 associated
with him:
SECTION* 2. That so much of the said act
incorporating the said C'onnellsville and
Southern Pennsylvania Railway Company,
as limits the time for the construction of the
main line of their road to three years from the
the passage thereof, be and the same is here
by repealed ; and thatthe time for the com
mencement of the construction thereof shall
be extended for one year, and the time for its
completion to eight years, from the passage
of this act.
This act. we believe, became a law on the
fifth of April last: seven months of the time,
the fair season of the year, have passed away,
and there is not the first indication in the
world, outside of the "pin" arrangement, that
there is ever to be a railroad extended up
this way. Does the Company intend asking
the Legislature for another extension ? It
looks very much like it. If they do, the peo
ple along the line propose to storm the capi
tol, that's all. Against our most earnest
protest the last Legislature gave them all they
asked and now we expect them to -'come to
tine. t he people must "PREPJCF'e" TO fight t ha
monopoly in advanoo.
Just as soon as we have evidence
that the Company is in earnest and
intends building the road no set of
men will go further towards advancing their
interests than the people of Bedford, I ulton
end Somerset counties, but at present they
mean to look after their own interests.
TEMI-KFASCE CONTENTION. —A Convention
of Good Templars of the West Juniata Dis
trict was held in thi place on Wednesday
and Thursday last. Nov. Oth and 7th. It was
the largest aud heat yet held in the district,
there being nineteen lodges represented, of
which Huntingdon has 8, Blair 4, Bedford 8,

in Centre county was also represented in this
district. It was resolved that Cambria be
added to the district and that an endeavor be
made to establish one or more lodges in that
county before the r.ext convention, which
will be held in Altoona, Wednesday and
Thursday, the 20.h and 21st of February.

THE BIG TANNERY. —We lately paid a visit
to the extensive tanning establishment of
Messrs. Span ogle & Co., which is now rapid
ly approaching completion. This is one of
the largest (if not the largest) brick steam
anucry in Pennsylvania, the whole building
being uuder a slate roof. The maiu building
is 231 feet in length by 45 wide, with a wing
195 long. The bark shed is 180 feet long by
35 wide, and is reached by a railroad siding
of 1,000 feet. The building contains 210 vats:
23 leeches, and 8 pools, witb all necessary
requisites for ruuning water, liquor, Ac. The
drying and other rooms are to be heated by
means of steam pipes. The engine, which
was built by Reese, Slagle A Foust, of this
place, i 3 25 horse power, and was set iu mo
tion on Monday last, and found to be an ex
cellent piece of workmanship, complete in
all its parts. Among other features in the
building is an Archimean screw, which per
forms the work of carrying the water up hill.

ations is to visit the principal farmers, exhib
it tbeir model, sell a right to use it, and give
an oiMer on n manufacturing establishment,
where they pretend to have a contract for the
manufacture of the implement, receiving in
exchange the farmer's note, which they im

MEETING OF THE COUNTY SUCKRIKTESO.
ENTS OF PENNSYLVANIA.—A meeting of the
county Superintendents of Pennsylvania
been called by the State Superintendent, to
be held in Harrisburg, at 2 o'clock on the af
ternoon of the 4th of December, to continue
in session three days. Mr. Coburn, the late
State Superintendent, assigned some time
since a number of topics to different Superin
tendents, and requested written reports upon
them. It is expected that ihose will be read,
and that the Subjects treated of will be dis
cussed. In this connection the whole work
of the county iuperintendency can be re
viewed, and the School Department will be
able to give such instructions as seem to be
called for.
In addition to this, the new Superintendent
will ask the Convention to resolve itself into
a kind of Executive Session, at Last every
forenoon, for the purpose of enabling the
School Department to learn the views of the
Superintendents and of the people through
out the State on the following points, in
which changes in the law or in the practical
operation of it have been thought of:
1. The minimum length of time the Schools
should be kept open.—Should it be increased
to five Oi six months ?
2. Uniformity of Text-books in counties. —
Should a provision be made in the law for
effecting such uniformity ?
3. County aid to Teachert' Institututes. —
Should the law now in existence in eight
counties be made general ?
4. Provisional Certificates. —Should they
be dispensed with ? If not what chauges
should be made in the policy now practiced
in regard to granting them.
5. Renewing and Endorsing Certificates
by County Superintendents.—ls it good poli
cy to renew and endorse them ?
6. District Superintendents.—Should there
be a general law providing for their appoint
ment?
1. District Institutes. —What can be done
to increase their number ?
8. Branches of Study required by law.—
Should additions or substitutions be made ?
It is hoped that all Superintendents will
come prepared to represent the wishes of
their several counties in regard to these sub
jects by voice, and if called upon by vote.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —On Saturday after
noon last an accident, resulting in very seri
ous injuries to Mrs. Harriet Baker, wife of
Samuel Baker, lately of this place, and Miss
Laura Hassler, daughter of Maj. Hassler,
Treasurer of Franklin county, occurred near
this borough. The particulars, as we have
been able to gather them, are as follows :
The two ladies above named, in company
with William Gordon, a lad of 12 or 1-1 years
of age, son of Mr. Gordon,of Chambersburg,
were approaching this place from Fort Little
ton, with a horse and buggy. When about a
mile west of this borough, on the Peach Or
chard road, the party stopped on the top of
Scrub Ridge, and the boy alighted and walk
ed down the ridge gathering moss and ever
greens. While absent, and at a little distance
from the carriage, the horse became frighten
ed and dashed at a turious rate down the ter
ribly rocky roadway leading from the top of
the liidge to the turnpike at its foot. Alter
proceeding about 400 yards, the buggy was
to |-.toooa against tlio boultlcrs thiit
project from the mountain on the upper side
of the road, and both ladies thrown violently
against the mass of rocks that form the bed
and side of the road, injuring them very se
verely. Mrs. Baker is terribly bruised and
lacerated on head, face and limbs, one gash
full six inches in length upon the top of her
head; but fortunately no bones are broken.
Miss Hassler has one arm and one thumb
broken, is fearfully cut on face and head, and
has been injured in the back. The buggy is
completely demolished, not one part remain
ing whole. Fragments of the vehicle—bro
ken spriugs, splinters of the body, pieces of
tire, spokes, curtains, axles, Ac. —were
strewn along the road for a quarter of a mile.
Dr. S. E. Duffield was promptly oa the
ground, and rendered the sufferers every
medical assistance. They were subsequently
removed to the Eagle Hotel, where every at
tention is paid them. Their injuries, though
severe, will not prove fatal. That they were
not instantly killed, is truly miraculous.—

SOMERSET PETROLEUM COMPANY.—From a
card over the signature of 11. G. Bare, pub
lished in the Somerset Herald we learu the
following of the operations of tho above com
pany:
"Many of the stockholders of the company
being anxious to know the condition. Ac., ef
the Company, 1 have been requested by Mr.
Stutzman, the President of the Company, to
make a statement through the papers, of the
prospects of the company, financial condition
and number ot wells and their depth.
In the first place, nothing has occurred, or
developed to change the original opinion that
oil exists in Somerset county, aud as we be
lieve, can be reached at a less depth at the
poiuts our company are now boring, than
perhaps any other point in the county. At
Wellersburg in this county, in the same geo
logical formation, oil was struck on Friday
evening last, in considerable quantity, at a
Jopil, nf sun n>> (icn Caai iim Gomnanv
expect, (reasonably, too,) that as soon asthey
get through the rock they will get oil in much
larger quantities.
Two wells have been commenced on leases
of the Company, one on the North Fork of
Laurel Hill creek in Turkeyfoot township,
and thn other on Flaugherty in Larimer.
Notwithstanding the many breaks we had in
the Turkeyfoot wel], it is at present going
down rapidly, and having already reached
a depth of 600 feet. In the Flaugherty well
the tools are fast at a depth of about 400
feet, bat we are expecting tools daily, with
which we hope to be able to get them loose.
The amount of money paid in on subscrip
tion is about S3,(KM) all of which, (and mote
too,) has been expended for tools, machinery
and expenses of boring.
It will be seen at once that very little of
the capital stock has been paid in, and of
course it could not be expected that the offi
cers of the Company should complete the
wells at their own expense. With a view of
fulfilling our agreement with subscribers, we
have authorized Sheriff Walter to collect the
balance of subscription, and WQ sincerely
hope that parties will cheerfully pay him, and
thereby assist in developing the mineral in
terests of Somerset county to their own
profit.
Altoona Tribune says: "Very
extensive fires have been raging en the Alle
gheny and Brush Mountains for the past few
days. The one on Brush Mountain is in the
large bench near the Kettle, and is visible
from all parts of the town. The one on the
Alleghenies is in the neighborhood of Kiuan
ning Point, and is only visible from town at
intervals. We have not learned from what
cause these fires originated, but hope that ei
ther a sudden rain or the exertions of the far
mers in their course, may succeed in getting
them under control.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. —As announced
last, week Kevs. Mitchell, West and Fitzger
ald preauhed in the Presbyterian church du
ring the latter part of the week, and on Sun
day installed the Rev. A. V. C. Schenck as
pastor of the congregation. On Sunday
forenoon a communion service was held, and
an appropriate sermon was preached at night.
The whole series of services was one of un
usual interest and the sermons were powerful
and instructive exhibitions of truth. Tbey
will be long remembered by those who had
the pleasure of hearing them. The exercises
were attended by large audiences and the
church has marked it as "a good day." As
the result of the pastoral relations now es
tablished a future of unusual prosperity and
usefuluess is anticipated by the church.
jg*aT"The following, from the Richmond Ex
aminer is equally appropriate for this lo
cality -.
WANTED —One hundred and seventy-five
young men, of all shapes and sizes, from the
tall, graceful dandy with hair euough on his
upper lip to stuff a barber's cushion, down to
the little hump-backed, freckled-faced, bow
legged, carrot-headed upstart. The object is
to form a gaping corps, to be in attendance
at the church doors on each Sabbath, before
the commencement of divine service and at
its close, to stare at the ladies as they enter
and leave the =uid delicate
and gentlemanly remarks upon their person
and dress. All who wish to enter the above
corps will appear at the different church doors
next Sunday morning, where they will be duly
inspected, and their names, personal appear
ance, and quantiiy of brains registered in a
book kept for that purpose."
A PLEAS ANT COUNTRY TO Li YE IN.—The
Memphis Avalanche, of the Ist inst., con- ;
eludes an article as follows: "We will now
close by stating that not in the wide world
is there as much shooting stabbing and kill
ing a-; in Shelby county, when we take into
consideration the intelligence of the com
munity. Might after night affrays occur;
men are shot within a lew yards of our office;
bullets are fired into windows—and it is'd
—n you!' click! bang! 'j'm shot'—nightly,
from one end of the city to the other. One
of the most astonishing features in this
revelry of blood is the nonchalance of the
participants. They 'go for one another'
like men at a rowing match. While wrest
ling, two persons became engaged in a diffi
culty under our window some nights ago.
One made at hi 3 antagonist with a knife,
who replied with a shot, and exclaimed ,1'
ve killed him.' You are a liar!' says the
individual hit, while hebadabole in him
you could put your thumb in. The city is
mad; crime is epidemic, and the poisonous
elements consist in the evil practice of carry
ing weapons."

C heering Facts for tbc Billions.
I'veiy day demonstrates more clearly that Liv
er Complaint, in all its distressing forms, can bo
controlled and cured without difficulty or inconve
nience- It is an obstinate disease, but its obsti
nacy is not proof against the pertinacious, reme
dial and restorative operation of IIOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. That genial corrective
compels the organ to do its duty. It must secrete
regularly and healthfully under tho influence of
the Bitters. Their action brings it back from a
•tate of rebellion into perfect harmony with the
laws of health. If there is costiveness, it disap
pears, 17 there is side ache or back-ache it ceases;
if thc iiin and tho whites of tho eyes are tinged
with supcrflous bile, thov recover their natural
b J: if the appetite is gone, it returns; if the di
gr-tion is impaired, it is restored; in brief, what
ever the symptoms of the complaints may be, and
whatever the phase it has assumed, a cure is cer
tain. Such arc tho uniform effects of this prepa
ration where bilious disease has been already de
\ eloped: but in cases where there is merely a con
stitutional tendency to liver complaint, it may be
r —<-nt*ii throughout life by the rcgl
small quautitics, of tni„ palatablo antidote.
Tb'esc are proven facts, and shu)d be seriously
pondered, or, rather, they should be promptly
acted upon, by [persons of bilious habit.
Consumption Curable by Dr. Schenck's
Medicines.
To cure consumption, the system must be pre
pared so that the lungs will heal. To accomplish
this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesomo food,
which by these medicines will be oigu&ted prop
erly, and good healthy blood made: thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrako
Bill's cleanse tho stomach of all billious or mucous
accumulations; and by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, apd by using the three remedies all
impurities are "expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take these medicines ac
cording to directions, Consumption very frequent
ly in its last stage yields readily to then action 1
Take the pills, frequently, tocleanso the liver and
stomach. It does uot follow that bocause the
bowels aro not costive they are not required, for
ometimes in diarrhoea they are necessary. The
stoma eh must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow tho Pulmonic Syrup to act on the
respiratory organs properly and allay any irrita
tion. Then all that is required to perform a per
manent euro is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms : much as possible, eat all tho
ri d foul—fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite 'rave-; but bo particular and
n.a-ticato well.
