day evening the 9ih inst for the benefit of the
Lutbern Sabbath School Library Association.
Subject,— The Monk of EislcUen. Tickets
to be had at the door, or at Esq. Nicodemus'
Office.
TUEKE has been a change of schedule on
the Broad Top Road, which we think the
most reasonable schedule that they have ever
run to. Parties going East leave this place
at 1 o'clock, A. M.. and make all the morn
ing connections on the Central. East and
West, while those who leave Philadelphia or
Pittsburgh in the morning, reach here in the
train leaving Huntingdon at 6 o'clock, P M.

THE WEATHER has been unusually cool lor
several days past. Snow fell on the Alle
gheny on Friday last, and overcoats were in
demand out of doors, aud warm stoves with,
in. Sunday gave us bright warm sunshine
and singing birds once more, and we bid a
glad farewell to dark, lowering fogs and chil
ling East winds, hoping they have paid us
their last visit for this season, as they have
already lingered quite too long in the lap of
Spring.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP. —E. P. Kerr
Esq., was appointed District Attorney at the
late session of our Court, instead of John
Palmer, Esq., who decamped some time in
February or March. Palmer left Bedford with
Mr. Meyers aud others to spend a few weeks
in Washington, D. C. On the return of the
party to Huntingdon, he is represented
as over-sleeping himself and going on up the
road to the next station, from which he re
turned to Huntingdon, but too late for the
Broad Top train. lie loafed around Hun
tingdon for several hours, when he announ
that he would go up to Altoooa and see some
friends and return with a late train. He was
afterwards seen in Pittsburgh, and still later
by a lady of the upper end of the county,
somewhere in Ohio. It is currently reported
that he passed through Huntingdon ou San
day evening, the sth inst., on the Cincinnati
Express. Whether this be so or not, it is ev
ident that he has deserted his friends here.
He had collected several thousand dollars of
back pay, bounty and pension for different
persons, a number of them poor widows,
which he has either squandered or taken,
with him. It is not presumed that Mr. Mey
ers was cognizant of his ir.tentious, or'knows
anything of his wherabouts.
Mr. Kerr will make an efficient officer, and
we congratulate him on his success.
THE Holy Communion of the Lords, supper
will lie celebrated in the Lutheran Church of
this place on next Sabbath morning (the 12th
in at) at 10 j o'clock.
Services preparatory will begin on Friday
Evening at 7J P. If. on Saturday morning at
at 10$. o,clock, the Rev J. Q. McAtee will be
Installed as pastor of the congregation. Ser
vices on Saturday Evening, Sabbath morning
and night at the usual hours. Several officia
ting clergymen will be present on the occa
sions allndcd to.
"100 M ecu WHISKST." —An individual
laboring under the effects of sundry unwhole
some potations, caused a disturbance in the
Mengel House on Tuesday evening, by using
insulting language and displaying a knife in
a tkreatning manner toward Mr. John Little,
Livery Keeper. Officer Waters was called in
and proceeded to arrest the offender, which
action he resisted and was handled rather
roughly, but was finally overpowered and con
veyed to jail. If men will persist in making
brutes of themselves they can not expect to
evade the consequences.
THE BROAD Tor RAILROAD. —The control
lers of this road have, within the last six
months, improved it very much. All the old
trestle have been superceded by new and
splendid materials, while many other im
provements have been'madc. The Broad Top
road is oca of the safest in the State. It has
a less number of accidents recorded than any
other line of the same length reported, while
the care and attention of its officers to the
comforts of the travelling public speak in the
most favorable terms. We do not think that
any one will hesitate to prononnce the most
favorable opinion of the substantial condition
of the road who will take the pains to inquire
or to investigate. We do not know of a sin
gle accident which has resulted from pure
negligence of its employees or the inefficiency
of the material used in its construction
though it has been in existence for ten years.
The visitors to the Springs will find this road
perfectly safe and in a very good condition.
BOROUGH IMPROVEMENTS. —We are pleased,
to see that the borough officers are making an
effort to improve Penti street by opening the
water courses, and dividing the waters gath
ering in the Southwestern part of the town
so that that portion of the street below Rich
ard will not be flooded by every summer
shower. We hope they will not stop with
this, but devise some means for securing an
improvement of the sidewalks also: the be
ginning made alongside the Presbyterian
church is a move in the right direction, and
should be continued to Richard street. Our
public Square would present a more pleasing
appearance if ball playing and other sports
destructive to the grass were prohibited.
Ball playing by both intoi and boys on our
street has of late become a nuisance.
Would it not be a good idea to prohibit the
use of Juliana street and East Pitt street as
horse training grounds: the business streets
of the town are certainly not the proper pla
ces for these exercises, endangering, as they
often do, the lives of men, women and chil
dren.
IMPORTANT DATA. —We are indebted to
Wm. M. Hall, Esq., for the following infor
mation, which we publish as ft matter of his
torical interest, aud to put it into a good shape
for convenient reference.

DAVID COPPER FIELD, the third volume of
the DIAMOND Dickens is on our table: Be
yond comparison this is the most completely
designed and delightfully executed edition of
a popular series of works, intended for the
family library that has ever come from the
hands of a publisher. Socially, Americans
may not owe as much to Dickens as do his
countrymen, for his attempts to elevate their
humanity, yet, in a literary point of view, we
must acknowledge that no one, at home or
abroad, delights us more than he has done
for years past. "Pickwick,'' the initial of
his humorous works, and still the most amu
sing: "Out- Mutual Friend," his latest and by
many deemed equal to his best, and "David
Coppcrfield," undoubtedly the superior of all
the rest, are now before the public in this
dainty form, and their rapid sale well attests
the popularity they have achieved.
A renewed circulation and a still wider
reading of Dickens cannot prove otherwise
than a blessing to the country: for who shall
deny that this genial novelist is not, where
ever he may go, a missionary of good as well
as of delight: making men and women better,
whilst he makes them smile: softening and
enlarging the heart, even as he gratifies tho
lovo of bumor, the sensibilities that sympa
thize with the pathetic, and the artistic taste
that relishes pictures of homely and intense
ly human life. As the "Diamond'' has thus
inaugurated another conquering campaign for
he deservedly loved and popular gentleman
of G&dshill, it deserves to be praised for what
it is as well as for what it has done. For its
convenient form, its distinct though necessa
rily small type, and excellent original illus.
trations by Etynge, it merits commendation,
and meets a popular want at a very moderate
price. It is something new and something
beautiful and something useful likewise in
the way of book-making: and by its very pe
culiarities is quite sure to be a favorite, no
matter how many attractive rivals enter the
lists with it, aud win customers.
Every lover of Dickens should be euro to
get this edition. The illustrated volumes are
only $1.50 each, and the plain $1.25; Tick-
IW & Fields Hot ton.
TUB DANGERS or SPRING. —We have the
highest medical authority for saying that a
great many more persons die in May than in
November. The natural causes are: 1st —
Ihe increased dampness of the atmosphere,
proven by the fact that doors which shut
easily in winter, do not do so in spring. 2d
Nature takes away the appetite for meats, for
beat giving food, in order to prepare the body
for the increased temperature of -summer.
But two errors in practice at this time, inter
fere with wise nature's arrangement, and
induce many painful and dangerous diseases.
First, the amount of clothing is diminished
too soon. Second, the conveniences of fires
in our dwellings are removed too early. All
persons, especially children, old people, and
those in delicate health, should not remove
the thickest woolen flannel of mid winter,
until towards the end of May, and then it
should be merely a change to a little thinner
material. Furnaces should not be removed,
nor fire places and grates cleaned for the
summer, until the first of June; for a brisk
fire in the grate is sometimes very comfor
table in the last week of May; that may be a
rare occurrence, but as it does sometimes
take place, it is better to be prepared for it
than to ait shivering for half a day, with the
risk to ourselves and children, of sonw violent
attack of spring diseases.
By inattention to these things, four causes
are in operation to chill the body and induce
colds and fevers. First—The dampness of
the atmosphere in May. Second—That strik
ing falling off in appetite for meals and other
"heating" food. Third—The premature
diminution of clothing.. Fourth—The too
early removal of the conveniences of fire.
And when the very changing condition of the
weather in May is taken into account, it is no
wonder that under the influence ot so many
causes of diminution of the tempeature of
the body, many fall victims to disease. In
November, the healthiest month of the year,
we have put on our warmest clothing, kindled
our daily fires and have* found a keen relish
for substantial food, while the dampness of
the atmosphere has been relieved by the con
densation of increasing cold, The wise wil'
remember these things for a lifetime, and
teach them to their children. — Exchange '

WEST MILTON, Saratoga Co., N. Y., 1
July 6, 1861. f
DR. HOSTKTTKR—Sir : I have long delayed
writing to yon my sincere thanks for the good you
have done my daughter. I can truly say that
nothing but the kind hand of Providence and
your Bitters have saved her from an early grave.
For three years I have been doctoring her with
syrups and all kinds of hitters that have lieen
recomendcd to un for her, besides having two
first rate physicians, but all seemed to do her no
good, while I was searching the almanacs and al'
the newspapers that I could get hold of, in hopes
of finding somelhing (bat would suit her case.
Accidentally ihcrc came part of a newspaper
around some goods that I bought it iho Spa. In
looking over it I saw at a glance that your Bit
ters was just what she needed. I sent the next
day to Ballston Spa and got a bottle of your Bit
ters. She commenced taking thcin, and such a
change in one week with her appetite and the
distress that victuals occasioned, and that burn
ing in the Stomach, I never saw in my life, as
there was in her. She has taken three bottles and
is now able to work all the time. I think there
is a little derangement of the Liver. Please send
DC three bottles more, which I think will core her
entirely. We and others thought she had a dis
ease of the heart, but that beatin" ml fluttering
that would almost stop her from breathing at
times, is all gone.
Yours, with respect,
MaylO. ' MRS. AMANDA M'PULRSOX.
Consumption Curable by l)r. chcnck's_
Medicines.
To cure consumption, the system must bo pre
pared so that the lung? 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 cigested prop
erly, and good healthy blood made; thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrake
Bill's cleanse the stomach of all bfllious or mucous
accumulations: and by using the Sea Meed 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 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 their 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 diarrhtca they are necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the
respiratory organs properly and allay any irrita
tion. Then all that is required to perform a per
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the
richest food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite craves; but be particular and
mastieato well.
