FOUND DEAD.—On Sunday morning, the
22(1 ult., an old lady known as Granny Rian,
was found dead in her room, iu this place, by
her daughter. She had been lingering for a
long time, but no one supposed that death
would come so soon. Hannah Keely, an old la
dy residing in Shover ; s Valley, was also found
dead in her bed on the 31st ult. Both these
old persons were very poor, and it is quite
prebnble, the inclemency of the weather had
something to do with their sudden disap
pearance from the stajfe of active life. Do
not forget the poor !
How TO MAKE MONEY. —Poor Richard
says : "A penny saved is two pence earned."'
Our subscribers who are in arrears, (and
they are many.) will save money by paying
their subscriptions in time, to secure the ben
efit of our rates for advance payments.
If they fail to come to time they must not
complain when they find themselves charged
£2.50 and 53.00 according to our advertised
terms. The date following the name on the
printed slip on each paper, marks the time
to which the paper is paid for. All who find
this date, '6(l, instead of '<'.7 will understand
that they are iti arrears and will save fifty
cents or a dollar by paying up at once.
DIED.—We learn that the Paper Mill of
Ebv, Morrison & Co.. has met with another
loss, this time in the person of John Eby,
the senior member of- the firm, who died at
Spnngs Mill Blair county, on the 20th day
of December, ult.. of Typhoid Fever. Mr.
| Ki- wa quit, y n man hvving b<en only
■ 8-1 y. r.rs 2 m -t:l and 21 -lays old at the
time of his leath. This establishment has
been very unfortunate, first iu the explosion
of the boiler, then the burning of the Mill
and now the loss of the leading member of
the firm. The death of Mr. Eby will be se"
riously felt by his associates, but the enter
prise will be pushed forward with all vigor.
The mill was put in motion again ou Monday
or Tuesday last.
HOUSE BURSE*.—A fire was discovered,
about three o'clock of the afternoon of Sun
day last., in the House of Robert Allison, of
Napier township, this county, which entirely
consumed it with all its contents. Mr. Alli
son and wife h°d gone to visit a sick sister,
and returned only to find the domicil which
they had left early in the day, reduced to
ruins. Nothing was saved but a few hund
red pounds of pork. The loss will amount
to S6OO oi ftkH) —no insurance. This is a
very sad loss for our young friend Allison.

A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—An imli
vidua! living at Joetatesville, o:i the Broad
Top Railroad, this county, went out hunting
a week or two ago, aud while perambulating
the mountains, fell and fractured his leg. The
weather was severe, and the prospect of
free dig presented itgelf most vividly. The
unfortunate man was alone, far from home,
with no -ympathizing creature to assist or
even '.o commisserate with him in his sad
condition. Seized by a fit of desperation, and
finding his pockets well supplied with small
nail . he determined upon the horrible ex
pedieut of Bailing his foot to his boot and his
'root to his leg: to resolve was to exe
cute, and id this condition he crippled to his
onte. Wo received these facts from Mr.

CUTTING AFFAIR. —A sad affair took place
on the evening of the 2Tth ult. About .11
o'clock, P. M. several young rusn were
standing on the side walk, on the north side
o'" Meagerß Hotel; two colored boys passed
■ them, and in passing one of them named Calli
han, run against George McD.miel. Mi-
Daniel became indignant at being jostled iu
such a manner by a colored individual, and
expressed his determination to resentit. Sev
eral persons, who were the companions of
McDaniel, started with himto over take the
colored boys who had passed on up the street.
The boys were overtaken a few steps west of
the office of Mann A Spang, and Callihan
was chastised by McDaniel striking him and
knocking him down. Callihan flourished a
razor and assumed the offensive, but bis com
panion led him off, and McDaniel and his
party again followed aud while advancing
upon Callihan a second time, McDauied dis
covered that his left arm was so severely cut
that he could not use it; a large gash was also
discovered in the front of his coat. McDan
iel is under the impression that the cutting
was done at thctiine Callihan jostled him on
the street, while Callihan alleges that the
cut was inflicted after McDaniel struck him
and when he saw that he must go down. lie
alleges further that he was simply taking the
razor home having received it from another
party. The cut was inflicted in the left arm,
severing a large artery. Dr. lieamer was
called in and dressed it. The wound, though
severe, is healing up rapidly.
PITTSBURGH AND CONXEIJLSVILLK RAILROAD.
—The Sand Patch Tunnel, in Somerset
county, on the line of this road, is so nearly
completed, that it can easily be made ready
for the transit of cars by the time the rest of
the road can be finished. On uo other part
of the line south of Couuellsville, except
this great tunnel, has any work beeu prosecu
ted since the company was divested, by a
most unrighteous act of legislation, of their
franchises on the southern division of their
road.
This tunnel runs under the summit of the
Allegheny mountain, just as does the great
tunnel of the Pennsylvania Central a few
miles west of Altoona. Its length is 4,700
feet, and the altitude of its floor, above tide
water, is 2,486 feet, and above low water at
Pittsburgh, 1,736 feet. The work upon it was
commenced in 1856. As it was necessarily a
longjob, the company did well, and manifest
ed a commendable confidence iu the ultimate
justice of the Legislature of their own State,
by prosecuting the work during the suspen
sion of their chartered rights. We say sus
pension: for it is impossible that the repeal
of their charter —so far as it was repealed by
the act of April, 1864 —could work anything
more than a vexatious and injurious delay in
the completion of their enterprise.
In June last, as is well known, the issue
wits tried in the District Court of the United
States at Williainsport, Pennsylvania, wheth
er the company had forfeited its charter by
abuse or misuse. The verdict of the jury
was that it had not. The agreement of the
jury on this verdict was prompt, and arrived
at without difficulty. The Court then made
the injunction, had been granted the
yenr before, restraining the Connelßi ille and
Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Company
from interfering with the r..nl or franchises
of the Pittsburgh aud Connellsvilie Railroad
Company perpetual, on the ground that the
lair of Pennsylvania, repealing the charter of
the last named company south and east of
ConnellsviUe teas inoperative and void.
Had the matter been permitted to rest
there, that verdict of a Pennsylvania jury, and
that decree of the Court, would have restored
to this deeply wronged Company it - franchis
es, and the work upon this important road, so
greatly needed by the people of tic ( iti.
and still more by those of the p. ;ul us and
wealthy counties through which it passt-s,
would have been in a state of vigorous prose
cation. But the unsuccessful wrong-doing
party in the controversy—although it had no'
prospect of ultimate success —bud still the
power fo cause further delay ; and to effect
this it has taken an appeal from the decree of
t he Circuit Court to the -Supreme Court of the
United States.
Such is the attitude in which these great
parties stand before the country and the
ana millions ttre looking on to see if
the Stale of Pennsylvania will persist in the
face of this decree and in - iolation of what
all impartial men feel to be common justice,
in the perpetration of a great wrong, not to
these corporators merely, bnt to hundreds of
thousands of its own people—to the damage
of its interests, and to the diminution of its
population, wealth, resources and revenues,
until the unrighteous statute shall bo sticken,
by a higher and juster authority, and by a
final decree from its book of laws. This de
cree—unless averted by a repeal of the ob
noxious statute —will assuredly come sooner
or later. What a disgrace ! What a blot
upon the fair fame ol our good old Common
wealth would sucli a decree be 1 To be com
pelled, by an extraneous and constitutionally
superior authority, to do justice to its own
citizens ! Thir.k of it. We beg otir friends
in the Legislature lo save the State from this
dishonor, and to honor themselves by doing
rieht, by a prompt repeal of the repealing
act. Honor, justice, common honesty and
true expedincy all demand that this be done,
and done quickly. There should be no hesi-
tation at all ; for the law and the facts are
now patent to them and to the world.
Wc ask in all earnestness, is this a time to
strike down the arm of enterprise, and throw
obstructions in the way of progress Is this
a time to soy that the great natural treasures
of our Slate, locked up in those mountains
and valleys, shall not he developed ? Is this
a time —when enterprising men, some ofthem
our own citizens, are pushing parallel lines of
railway beyond the hounds of settlement to
the farthest West —to shut up such an avenue
ns this ? We ask that no wrong shall be done
to the Counellsville and Southern Pennsylva
nia Company aud its projected road—-we trust
that it will go on and prosper;—hot we do
ask that it shall not be permitted to interfere
with the interests of tbo people
of this end of the State by its interference
with the progress of the Pittsburgh and Cou
nellsville road to its original destination.
The importance of this road, and its con
nections with Fast and West, will be the
subject of another article. — Pittsburgh Ga

A GH-SEY SWINDLE,—The Waynesboro'
liecord ol last week, says: "We have just
heard the particulars ola Swindling opera
lion, by which a respectable farmer of this
neighborhood, Mr. Daniel Snowberger, was
mulcted in the sum of nearly five hundred
dollars. It appears a stranger, supposed to
be a gipscy, made his appearance at Mr.
Siiowberger's house, some ten months since,
and as is customary with such strolling vaga
bonds claimed to be a doctor, aud professed to
cure all diseases to which flesh is heir. Mrs. S.
it seems bad long been afflicted with rheuma
tism. He finally succeeded in getting the
parties to believe that he could perform a
permanent cure iu her case in the following
novel manner. They were to produce all the
treasure about their bouse aud place it ou the
table before him. lie would then select a
certain passage of scripture upon which they
were to meditate whilst be arranged the mo
ney in nine bags or packages, seated with
their backs towards him, the children to be
first removed from the room, with all of
which they complied. The bags or packages
thus arranged they were required to lock
them up and not open tlicui for nine months,
in which time the cure was to be a permanent
one. The nine months terminated a few
weeks since when Mr. S. opened the bags
and found them to contain gravel instead of
his treasure, nearly five hundred dollars,
mostly in gold and silver. These facts were
obtained from Mr. Snowbcrger himself. They
should prove a warning to the incredulous
and superstitions in the future."

A HIM NEW YKAII! A HAI'I-Y NEW YEAR!
The air with the greeting is ripe:
It fails like a charm on the wanderer's ear,
And lightens the loneliest life.
Though it come torn the high, or come from
the low.
From hearts over burdened with gladness or
woe,
It ripples along,
Like a beautiful song,
Or the laughter of waves when the summer-is
long.
A HAPPY NEW YEAH! A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Through the palace of plenty resounds:
From parlors in front to realms in the rear,
Are pealing such jovial sounds—
As '"life to the loveliest.' - "Love to the lorn
The light of prosperity rise with the morn
Of the promising year!"
And may ills disappear
As oft as they gather to wither and sear.
A HAPPY NEW YKAK! A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
From the lowliest cottage it comes.
Where the children are dressed for their
holiday cheer,
And the sound of their merriment
hums;
\V hen the mother has poured on the family
board;
The choice little dainties so thoughtfully
stored,
And lovingly stands.
With half wearied hands
Rejoiced to accede to her darling's demauds.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR! A IUPPY NEW YEAR!
Is echoed by light stepping ieet.
As they hasten to join in the gay career
Ofctlie people who throng the street:
And rollicking boys, with their quaint look
ing toys.
And the sweet little girls who tell oftheir joys,
In each chiming tone,
Their jo)fulness own.
That the new year has dawned, and the old
one has flown.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR! A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
While all those around me are glad
And hrin,fal of happiness seem to appear,
Shall the Carrier Boy be sad?
True, my trials and woes are known but to
those,
Who weather the tempest and laugh at the
snows;
Yet my heart is as light,
And with promise as bright,
As of any who bade the old a good night.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR! A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Let me swell the triumphant song,
! That is heard so delicious—enchanting the ear,
And its joyful measures prolong,
Though my words may he rule aud my ideas
crude,
My heart with contentment is deeply imbued;
Then will you employ
A moment of joy.
Iu reading the rhymes of the Carrier Boy ?
The old year is dead! His promises fled,
To the darkling tomb of the past,
Aud pleasures that o'er us their ruddy light
shed,
To the winds of the morning are cast;
The fears that beset us are quite overthrown,
The terrors that met us to shadows have
grown,
But hopes that were high,
On his natal morn, lie
Like storm scattered leaves 'neath a tempest
tpent sky.
The old year was peace, aud of plenty in
crease,
And exalted each patriot band;
Of i-. .-.v and suffering has been a surcease,
Through the whole of our cherished
land,
Hushed l ho dirge and the wail from mountain
Aud the terrible crash ot the iron hail,
Till we all could shout,
At the total rout,
Of the foes that encompassed the land about.
With the record we hold of the glorious old.
We have courage to gaze on the new,
Whose outlines grow plain as are slowly un
■* rolled. .
i Their lights and their shadows to
view,
See! v\e North and the South, the Last and
the West,
In garments of Freedom are royally uresseu.
And henceforth their claim,
To a noble fame
Abides in ;he bearing of liberty's name.
Bui our President erratic, like a crazy fanatic.
Still sticks to his favorite illusion.
In his message to Congress, in terms quite
emphatic,
He still urges his monstrous delusion.
And blathers aud prates,
About '"excluded states
And whines like a cur at their miserable fates;
But Andy's gone up;
On grief must be sup,
And drink to the dregs bis owu nasty cup.
"My Policy" is dead, 'tis knocked iuthe
head;
The sire and son lie together.
Aud the army of cravens who feed 011 his
bread,
Can't -ever the infamous tether.
As a Syren he sung, as "round the circle he
swung"
And honeyed the words that fell from his
tongue,
But the voice ot thepeople,
i rom hill top aud steeple,
Dec; cd t! .it no traitor their country should
!h, v ei-.y aim tone which Congress has
u.e subject of Reconstruction,
Displays a sagacity almost unknown,
And favor* iiuancial reduction,

But, dear Uncle Snm is a hardy old man,
And may live for centuries yet,
But what are his children ? Their lives are
