A COLLISION.- -A coal train from the Broad
Top road collided with a through freight train
going west on Friday evening last, at the end
of Broad Top road. It seems the through
freight had passed the point at which the
Broad Top road joins the Penusylvania road :
the coal train being in sight at the same time,
for some reason to us unknown, the through
freight backed beyond the outlet of Broad
Top and so suddenly taat the coal train could

COCXTY PAPERS. —Postmasters should bear
ia mind, for their advantage as well as that
of the local pre3s, that for every county pa
per delivered by them to subscribers they are
entitled to retain of the post office funds ten

interest, as well as for that of the publisheis,
that the county papers be preferred, since
there is no trouble in making collections or
keeping accounts thereof, as on papers print

which will not average more than from six to
eight cents a year.— Exchange.

EMBEZZLEMENT. — We are iflfortued that a
rather heavy embezzlement occurred at Bloody
Run, Bedford county, Tuesday last. It seems
that Dr. McNeil gave his teamster a check
for SBOO and sent him to a neighboring bank
with it for collection. The teamster did as
his master told him but failed to return with
the money and made good his escape, passing
through this place in his flight. Our informa
tion is very meagre, and we give the news as
we heard it without vouching for its correct
ness.—Huntingdon Monitor.
At the latest accounts Dr. McNeil had not
succeeded in capturing the scamp. On his
way to Huntingdon, he gathered up a young
woman at Bloody Run, took her to the form
er place, dressed her out in tine style, sent
her back, bought himself a new out-fit, and
then took to the woods. He was too sharp
to take the cars. We hope the Doctor will
succeed in finding out his whereabouts and
have him araested.
Ot*R ROAD SVSTEM.—A cotemporary con
tains the following "chapter on roads" which
we transfer to our columns as equally appro
priate to our county:
iVe never go abroad without being annoyed
with the conditions of public roads. They
are bad, positively and superlatively bad.
Everybody knows it and complains of it
and yet they remain the same from
year to year, or if anything are getting
worse continually. Why is this and where
lies the remedy ? We say they are bad first
because we have a stony country and without
much labor 'which is never devoted to them)
the roads will be rough. Secondly, because
we have a clayey soil and the roads in conse
quence liable to be muddy in wet weather
and fall of clods and rough in cold weather
But tne main reason why our roads are so in
tolerably bad is because they are neglected,
mismanaged, not worked as they should be.
Nature has interposed no insurmountable ob
stacles to good roads in our county, although
we have hills, rocks and mud, we can have
good roads, if properly managed. The peo
ple pay considerable road tax but it is all lost
money the way it is expended. The super
visors with their hands just run over the.roads
once a year, pitch out a few stones, open a
few break and side drains and that very su
perficially, and how can we have good roads
under such a system. The only wonder is
that they are not worse. The question is how
can they be improved? If we can prevent
the roads from getting muddy that is muddy
knee deep, we shall have good roads, and the
only way to do that is by macadamizing. In
traveling over muddy roads one can see the
adjoining fields dotted with large stone piles.
Why are these not broken in the road ? We
think a road law should be passed that every
freeholder should make and keep the roads
in good repair over his own lands. This
would be an inducement for farmers to haul
the stone from their lands, where they are an
injury, into the roads where they are a benefit.
But under any system of working the roads,
the only way to get rid of muddy roads is to
break stone into them and cover them with
gravel and make good side drains, so that the
roads are considerably higher in tke middle
than at the sides. Where the roads are rocky
the same process will improve them. Better,
far better, make one mi'e of macadamized
road every year than skip over fifty miles.
The hill 3 would be comparatively no great
objection, if the roads were only dry and
suiooin. i ne inaiei nio <>i_ wiw.
prove the roads and if the people do not at
tend to it they are blind to their own interest
and comfort.
DICKEX'S CHRISTMAS STORY IN EVERT
SATURDAY, —" Mugby Junction," Dicken's
Christmas Story for 1860, is published com
plete in the 50th number of Every Saturday.
As Mr. Dicken's contribution to the story
this year occupies a larger portion of the vol
ume than usual, it is safe to predict that
"Mugby Junction" will prove even more pop
ular than any of its predecessors. The first
four tales in the collection are from the pen
of the inimitable "Boz." These episodes are
• written in the author's happiest vein. Many
; of the characters introduced to the reader will
at once take their places in literature beside
such immortal creations as "Mr. Pickwick,"
"Little Nell," "the Marchioness," and "Oli
ver Twist." The sketch entitled "Barbox
Brothers," is one of those delicious lessons
which Dickens teaches so admirably. No one
1 can read it without strengthening his belief in
I human goodness. "Young Jackson," "Pha>-
• be," and "Lamp," with his periodical
I "rounders," become our personal friends im
mediately. "Little Polly," the lost child,
whose name is not Trivits, is a conception
as charming as anything in that marvellous
seriss of novels which we are never weary of
! perusing. The whimsical description of the
Refreshment Boom, with the stale pastry,
and poor Mr. Swift, will make " Mugby
Junction" a favorite stopping place this year
for many a delighted reader. This Story ap
pears in Every Saturday seven days previous
to its appearance in England. The Publish
ers evidently inteud, by such enterprise, to
give the readers of Every Saturday more
promptly than they can obtain from any other
source the best and most attractive of the
good things in European Periodicals.
{{ejection of the Constitutional Amend
uiuut.
TALLAHASSEE, FA.. Dec. 6.
The House of lleuresentatives of this
State have taken up the report of the com
mittee to whom the constitutional amend
ment was referred, and by unanimous vote
agreed to that report. The report, it will
be remembered, recommended the rejection
of the amendment.
The Cotton Crop.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 6.
The accounts from the cotton crop from
this State are less favorable, although some
of the planters are widely at variance in
their statements. The majority, however,
expiess great disappointment at the result
of the yield, which turned out far less than
they anticipated before the picking.
The Ohio Press and the Associated
Press.

and Clevel md, and some papers of the other

IMPORTANT FROM ALABAMA.
The Governor, Disposed to :i Acctjd the
Situation,' Favors the Ratification of the
Constitutional cimen dmcn t.
MOBILE, Dec. 6.
A spocial dispatch to the Advertiser and
Register , from Mougomery, dated to day,
says the Governor sent a message to both
Houses of the Legislature to day, stating
that events of most vital character are now
transpiring with reference to our relations
in the Union; and he expresses the appre
hension the stability of our affairs may be
suddenly broke up.
The Radicals are determined,at all hazard,
to enforce their terms of restoration, and
threaten to reverse our progress towards
tranquility. The cardinal principle of re
storation seems to be favorable action on the
Constitutional amendment. He thinks its
ratification necessary, and suggests that our
full restoration may follow. The Senate
referred the message to the Committee of
Federal Relations, but the House adjourned
pending its consideration. The contents of
the message caused excitement, as the
majority of both Houses is opposed to the
ratification.

Consumption Curable by Dr. Kcheuck'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 wholesome food,
which by these medicines will be c igestcd prop
erly, and good healthy bleed made; thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrake
Bill's cleanse the stomach of all billiousor 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, and by using the three remedies all
impurities arc expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dl. ■
ease. If patients will take these medicines ac
cording to directions, Consumption very frequent
ly in its last stage yields readily to theii action-
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It does not follow that because the
bowels are not costive they are not required, for
sometimes in diairho.a they arc nece.-sary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow Ihe Pulmonic Syrup to act on the
respiratory organs properly and allay any irrita
tion. Then ull that is required to perform a per
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, cat all the
richest food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite craves; but he particular and
masticate well.

Cheering Facts for the Billions.
Eveiy day demonstrates more clearly that Liv
er Complaint, la all its distressing forms, can be
controlled and cured without difficulty or inconve
nience. It is an obstinate disease, but its obsti
nacy is not proof against tho pertinacious, reme
dial and restorative operation of lIOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. That genial corrective
compels tho organ to do its duty. It must secrete
regularly and healthfully under the influence of
the Bitters. Their action brings it back from a
state of rebellion into perfect harmony with tho
laws of health. If there is eostiveness, it disap
pears, if there is side aehc or baek-ache it ceases:
if the skis and the whites of the eyes arc tinged
with supcrtious bile, they recover their natural
hue; if tho appetite is gone, it returns; if tnc di
gestion 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 are the uniform effects of this prepa
ration where bilious disease has been already de
veloped; but in eases where there is merely a con
stitutional tendency to liver complaint, it may be
prevented throughout life by the regular use, in
small quantities, of this palatable antidote.
These ar" proven facts, and shvuld he -eriously
pondered, or, rather, they should IK' promptly
acted upon, by persons of bilious habit.

JJOPI'LAR SCIENCE.
The Scientific American to be Greatly
Enlarged,
This widely circulated and Popular Journal of
the Industrial Arts and Sciences enters its twen
ty-second year on the Ist of January next, and
the publishers propose to signalize the occasion
by Enlarging it to the size of the most costly
Scientific Journals of Great Britain, without,
increasing the subscription price.
It is almost superfluous to speak of the great
value of this Popular and Useful Journal to all
classes, and especially to Mechanics, Manufactu
rers, Inventors, Engineers, Chemists, Agricultur
ists, and all who love to read of the wnndrorg pro
gress which now marks every department of Me
chanical Eugineering and the Industrial Arts and
Sciences generally.
The Editorial department is very ably conduc
ted, and many of the best Scientific writers in this
country and Europe are contributors to its pages.
Many of tkc articles have the charm of romance
about them, and inspire the mind with noble ideas.
The Scientific American has the largest circu
lation of any similar journal in existence, but it
ought to have a million of reader- in this growing
country.
The engravings of New Inventions. Tools, Im
plements fir the Farm, Workshop and Household
arc very uumerot.'*. end arc splendidly executed
by the best artists in the world. This feature of
the paper is very striking, and has won the praise
of the united press of the country and Europe.
Another feature of the Scientific American is
the Official publication of every Patent granted
by the Government Patent Office. Each number
coutains the weekly issue of Patent Claims, with
copious notices of now inventions, together with
Reviews of Foreign Inventions and Discoveries in
every department of Science.
Whoever reads the Scientijic American is in
structed and entertained, without being bothered
with hard words and dry details.
The American and European Patent Offices, in
connection with the Scientific American, form an
immense Museum of Mechanical Novelties which
furnish constant employment to a large corps of
Scientific Examiners who prepare drawings and
specifications for Patents.
This firm is no doubt the most extensive in the
world.
Now is the time to send in subscriptions to the
Scientijic American, so as to begin with the new
volume.
The numbers for a year make up a splendidly
illustrated volume of 832 pages. Terms. $3 per
annum; $1 50 for six months; $1 for four months;
Clubs of ten and upwards, $2 50 each, Canadian
subscribers, $3 25 per annum, always in advance-

C'IICAGO TRIBUNE.
Daily, Tri-Weekly and Weekly Editions, devoted
to News, Commerce, Polities, Agriculture, Manu
factures, Literature and Science. The best News
paper, the best Political paper, the best Commer
cial paper, the most valuable Family paper, the
Largest paper in the Northwest. It publishes .
more Telegraphic News, better Market Reports,
more Interesting Newt, and a Greater Variety of
Reliable and Useful Information than any other
paper in America.
The Chicago Tribune, now approaching its
twenty-first year, is recognised as the leading or
gan and exponent of the great, patriotic, domi
nant Republican party of the Northwest. The
Tribune is no ephemeral concern of doubtful da
ration, but a permanently established institution)
known and respected throughout the United
States, Its circulation exceeds the combined is
sues of other Chicago dailies. Its past record and
career may be pointed to with oride and pleasure
by its conductors. Since the Republican party
was organized, the Chicago Tribune has stood by
it, through evil as well as good report; never in
the rear, bat always In the front, beckoning it on
ward and upward; never faltering or weary, but
always hopeful, earnest, fearless. Its blows haTe
fallen incessantly on slavery, oligarchy aad trea
son. During the entire period of the rebellion it
blew se uncertain blasts, but sounded the charge
and cheered on the defenders of freedom to renew
ed efforts, assuring them of a glorious triumph
for the right as the Teward of perseverance and
sacrifice.
And now, when the wicked rebellion is crushed,
the oligarchy conquerred, and slavery abolished,
the Chicago Tribune insists that the legitimate
fruits of out victory shall not be yielded back to
vanquished rebels by an apostate Executive, who
has basely and wickedly betrayed the loyal peo
ple who intrusted him with Presidential powers.
The Tribune opens a new campaign to secure to
the Union an enduring peace, and a reconstruc
tion based on the principles of EQUAL RIGHTS
AND EXACT JUSTICE TO ALL MEN! It
therefore advocates Impartial Suffrage, irrespec
tive of color or birthplace. Right wrongs no man,
and no man's rights are abridged or endangered
by giving to every law-abiding citizen all his
rights. And no scheme of reconstruction will
prove satisfactory or enduring that denies equal
eivil and political rights and privileges to any
class of loyal citixens. No Democrat can oppose
impartial suffrage andequal rights without shame
lul inconsistency and stultification. And the
South can ueFer be truly free, prosperous or hap
py until all its citiiens/kre recognized as equal
before the law, and equal in making the laws,
which they must obey, regardless of color or po
sition;
The Chicago Tribune sincerely believes in the
principles of the Declaration of Independence, and
is therefore Radical in its aims, impulses and
endeavors, and is confident of witnessing, at an
early day, the acceptance and adoption of the be
neficent doctrines of Republicanism in every sec
tion and subdivision of our common country.
The readers of the Tribune will bear testimony
that the policies it has opposed have generally
been discarded: the measures it has supported
have nearly all been adopted, and that its predic
tions have been singularly verified. The secret of
its influence on public affairs is, that it espeuses
what is right, earnestly, end combats what is
wrong, boldly: and the glass with which it sees
into the future is implicit faith in the power of
Truth and the ultimate Triumph of Right.
A FIRST CLASS NEWSPAPEB.— The Chicago
Tribune, while fearless in the expression of its
opinions, and patriotic in its endeavors, aims at
being a First-Class Newspaper. It brings the
news to the people of the Northwest several days
sooner than the papers of the seaboard, and sur
passes all its contemporaries in the Northwest in
every department of news enterprise.
It discusses every subject ofinterest to Western
men —moral, political literary, commercial and
financial. No Western.merchant, banker, farmer,
mechanic, drover or manufacturer, can study his
own interest and do without it. No farmer should
sell a bushel of wheat, corn, oats, or a pound of
beef or pork, without reading the Tribune: no
manufacturer his wares; no mechanic the product
of his hands, without first consulting its well-fill
ed. accurate and reliable commercial columns.
The contents of each edition of the Tribune em
brace. Ist. A complete current history of the
progress of evtnts, with general news of the day.
2d. Copious telegraphic despatches, containing
the latest news from all parts, down to the hour
of going to press.
3d. Regular Correspondence from numerous
points in the South and the Capitals of the West
epi Bio ton, Workington, New York, St. Louis,
California, Kansas, Canada, Great Britian, Franca,
Germany and Italy, besides occasional letters from
many other points where interesting news is trans
piring. No other journal in the country employs
a larger or more capable corps of correspondents.
4tb. Able editorials cn Political Topics, and
all subjects of current interest, and Reviews of
New Publications.
sth. Full reports of meetings, whether Political,
Religions. Agricultural, Educational or Miscella
neous.
