AN individual, named Kepler, Rev. Sam uel. who "once upon a time" held forth on the street corners, in the groceries and in the Court House of this place, we learn from the Boekiogham Register, has turned up in Harrisonburg. Virginia. This is not the last place in which he will "turn up" by any means: if he would have had the courage of ordinary men he would have been consid erable further South, where his heart was, four years'ago. This place is well rid of him. (Jpzette please copy. W'L this week publish, in another column, under the head of "How a Loafer was Re baked," a few very pregnant lines. There is another class of "platter-brains" who are equally culpable. We mean that class who stand on the street corners and in the office doors and observe every lady passer by. The moment they see a lady enter a place of busi ness they post off at once, and break in upon her, when, in all probability, -he desires to transact business of a nature that she does not wish all the world to know, and especially the ungentlemanly intruder who thus breaks in upon her. We have seen so much of this that we are disgusted with it. THE GAI.AXY for June contains three fuil i agi- illustrations and the following articles: The German Cotillion, by George D.

Address W. C. A F. P. Church, No. 30 Park Row, New York. OUR townsman, James M. Bell, Esq., in company with a number of other prominent l'ennsylvauians, have gone on an excursion through Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina ami other Southern States. The party left Washington in a special train provided for the purpose, on yesterday.— HoUidaysbttrg Register. THE WEATHER, that never failing subject of comment has been decidedly, in the language of the Almanacs, "variable," for several weeks past, and as yet gives no sign of im provement. Wind, rain, mud, black lower ing clouds and gloomy fogß. with stray streaks of sunshine, few and far between, make up the dismal record thus far of what has some times been called the 'merry month of May,' but has not yet given us one clear, bright, warm day, with the blue skies and merrily singing birds of a genuine old fashioned May. PISCATORIAL. —Our young friend E. M. Alsip, Esq., while on a visit to the bordeis of Somerset county, a few days ago, bagged 260 fine trout as the fruit of a day's sporting in the mountain streams. Espy is a keen sports man and a skillful disciple of IsaakWalton, as his invariable success in capturing the speckled beauties of our mountain streams well attests. May as abundant success aitenckhim as a dis ciple of Blackstone. SI HOOL ACCOVKTU— TWr appears toU general negligence on the part of School Directors to publish the accounts of the re ceipts and expenditures of their respective districts as required by the Act of Assembly. The State Superintendent of Common Schools states that this section of the law is as obli gatory upon the Board of Directors as is the section requiring them to keep open the schools, and a neglect to perform this duty according to the law will subject Directors to removal by the courts, the same as the neg lect of any other duty required by law. THE WORK ox THE NEW RESERVOIR seems to have come to a full stop. Nothing seems to have been done for months, and the half finished work unless soon looked after, will be found crumbling to the ground. The walls are already giving way ; whether from bad workmanship in the building or want of care since their completion, we are not prepared to say. Will the city fathers have the good ness to inform us whether or not we are to have any use of the new reservoir this season? Or are we to be withottt water again when the dry season arrives ? The tax-payers of the borough would like to know when, if ev er, they are to derive any benefit from the money invested in this enterprise. A Goon EXAMPLE. —Rev. A. V. Schenck, of the Presbyterian Church, has been preach ing a series of sermons on the observance of the Sabbath. Ministers of the gospel through out this community would do well to emulate his example in illustrating the necessity for, and enforcing the duty of observing the fourth commandment. There is no doubt but that a desperate effort will be made at the next session of our legislature to repeal at lea3t a portion of our laws enforcing the observance of the Sabbath: and it becomes the moral watchmen of the country to be vigilant in counteracting all efforts to educate public sen timent into favoring a relaxation of laws im posing moral restraints upon that portion of every community that would know no laws but such as ministered to its own avarice or sensual indulgence. L. SOLUIEK'S ORPHANS. —Complaints are al most daily made in regard to the treatment of the Soldier's Orphans at White Ilall, Cum berland county, Pennsylvania. All manner of charges are preferred, whether true or false, we are not prepared to say; w here, however, there is so much smoke there must be a little fire. So bad is the reputation of this institution In this county that it will be utterly out of the question to get the consent of piothcrs to send their children to any of these schools unless this matter is fully venti lated and satisfactorily explained. The State authorities, who have the good of these schools in their hands, will do well to call j Mr. Denlinger to account for his steward ship, and if weighed in the balance aud found wanting, let an example be made of him. POSTAL AFFAIRS —An effort is again being made to establish a Post Office at the Foot of Dry Ridge. There was an office there lor many years, called ''Mann's Choice," in hon or of our distinguished townsman, Hon. Job Mann. We learn that the office has been dis continued at Buffalo Mills. We cannot ac count for this, unless it should be owing to the inefficiency or negligence of the officer' who has hitherto conducted it. This is a most unfortunate region: for a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, from the Foot of Dry Ridge to the Maryland line, in a narrow valley, hemmed in on all sides by high mountains, there are no postal facilities. A few years ago we made an effort to have the route revived, but we were told from Washington that the offices had been so miserably conducted, through inefficiency, that the Department would not re-establish it until assurance was giver, that persons capable of transacting the little busi ness pertaining to a country post office would apply. Unquestionably there are such per sons on this route, and for their owu advan tage, as well as for the accommodation of the public, they should sacrifice a little, and make an effort to have the route re establish ed. But as long as ''dunder-hcads" who can scarcely write their own name, and add three figures in simple addition, apply, there is no use talking about it. WE are pleased to hear that the Rev. Ed win M. Bong, formerly in charged the Union Tabernacle of Philadelphia, and widely known as the Children's Preacher, intends holding one of his grand Jubilees in the M. E. Church of this place, commencing Wednesday even ing, May 29tli. We are told the church is to be beautifully decorated, which, with Mr- Long's splendid Panoramic Paintings, bril liant illustrative lecture, together with the songs of the children, will make a jubilee in deed, that will gladden the hearts of all who may attend. Among the many testimonials, we clip the following from the American Presbyterian-, Philadelphia, in a notice of a Children's Meeting held at Cape May, in Au gust, 1 : "Fifteen hundred people, most of them children, assembled in graud jubilee, in Con greas Hall—as many more went away unable to gain admittance. * * The feature of the day was nu illustrated sermon by Rev. E. M. lAig, on the text: "A man shall be an hiding place lrom the wind, and a covert from the tempest." A beautifully painted pano -1 rama was made to pass before the audience, each picture assisting the speaker in enforc j ing his subject. We have seldom seen an audience of young and old more closely inter ested than was this one in Mr. Long's sermon, and the good it is calculated to do, by the strong impression made by one sense assist ing the other, must be very considerable." THE FAMINE or THE SOUTH —To MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL. —A circular issued from the Board of Trade Rooms, Philadelphia, calls upon the people of Bedford county to contri bute their mite to the fund for the relief of the Starving Poor of the South. The following have been appointed by the Managers of tho Fund, a committee, to bring the subject be fore the people of Bedford county: John Cessna, W. T. Daugherty, W. P. Schell, E. F. Kerr, J. T. Gephart, J. G. Hartley, B. F. Meyers, G. 11. Bailey, J. P. Reed, Josiah Miller, Andrew Crisman, Joseph B. Noble, James Madam, A. H. Hull, F. D. Beegle, H. P. Diehl, J. B. Williams, C. W. Ashconi, John Filler. At a meeting of as many of the Committee as could be assembled, it was. Resolved, That the ministers of the several churches in the county, be respectfully reques ted to announce to their congregations that contributions in aid o! the Southern Famine Relief Fund, will be solicited on next Sabbath, 19th inst., or as soon thereafter as they may deem best. We hope that the gentlemen appointed the above committee will see that ministers in their neighborhood are requested to announce this collection to their congregations. There is pressing need for help. White and black alike are crying to us for bread. Shall we turn a deaf ear to the cries of starvation? God forbid. Contributions can be sent to any of the committee residing BoJforJ wbo-will t once forward them to the Treasurer at Phil adelphia or may be sent direct to .J. M. Aertsen, Treasurer, S. E. Corner Walnut and Dock Streets, Philadelphia.— Bedford Gazette. NEWS OF TIIE NEIGHBORHOOD, We clip the following ilems from papefs published in neighboring counties: JOHN PALMER, EX. District Attorney lor Bedford county, bas absconded with a large amount of bounty funds, Ac., duo soldiers' widows, and others. We presume he has gone to pay Jeff Davis a visit to receive a lesson on Democracy.— Hot. Whiff. BURGLARY. —On Saturday night last be tweeen 10 and 11 o'clock the drug stores of C. C. Shriver, A Co., 01 and 53 Baltimore street were burglariously entered and robbed of what money remained in one of the draw ers, amounting to five or ten dollars. The thief effected au entrance by passing through the cellar, and thence into the wholesale house by a trap door. He then entered the retail store, and while engaged iu his depredations, one of the clerks entered for the purpose of filling a prescription, whereupon the thief be came alarmed and hastily decamped.—CHW berland Civilian. MAD DOGS nt PERRY COFXTY.— The Peo ple s Advocate, published at New Bloomfield, Perry county, of the Ist inst., says: We learn that several hogs and a young heifer belong ing to Mr. Solomon Bernheisle, of Tyrone township, were bitten by a mad dog and be came rabid. It is also reported that Mr. Mo- ses Waggoner, living about Loysville, had to kill a horse that showed unmistakable symp tows ofbeing mad. Jacob Kline, of Bridge port, Spring township, killed his dog last week, as it had been bitten and showed sighs of going mad. BERLIN came near being made a "temper auce" village last week. Remonstrance! against granting licen-ie to two of the Hotel keepers were presented to the court, the third "Landlord" agreeing not to ask for a license in ease the other two were refused. The thirsty citizens however prevailed on the remonstrants not '.o urge the matter, and on promises of circumspect conduct in the fu ture, the remonstancc was withdrawn. So the lovers of the "ardent" in that ancient village will sot be compelled, as they feared, to establish a "jug line" to the neighboring distilleries.— Som. Whig. INFORMATION WANTED. —Washington and Charity Black are very anxious to hear of the whearabouts of their son John, lie is a small boy, of dark color. He was taken away from this city by Thomas Bennett and S. San ders, against his own will and that of his pa rents. When last heard from they were about Miffliutown, Juniata county, working their way to Erie, Pa. as chimney sweeps. Any persons or papers giving any informa tion concerning the boy's whereabouts, will confer a great favor on his distressed parents, by addressing tbem at Horrisbnrg.—Harris burg Telegraph. Now that the Legislature has adjourned, the people are in a state of bewilderment in regard to the laws, important or unimpor tant, which have been enacted during the session. Some of these find their way into newspapers, through the efforts of the pub lishers to procure information for their read ers, but the great body of them remain a total mystery to those who are most directly con cerned. Had the Legislature made proper arrangements to have the general laws enact ed published officially in the newspapers, asis done in many of the other States, this condi tion of ignorance would not have existed. We agree with the Montrose Republican when it says that the time will soon come when such indifference to the public wants will not be tolerated.— hjs. WE plaee at the head of our paper to-day the excellent county ticket uominated at the primary election last week. The rcnomina tion of Mr Weller —without opposition—as our Legislative candidate, was a compliment not often conceded, but was eminently due to his fidelity to his party, and local interests during the session of last winter, and we presume his nomination by the district con ference will also, as it should be, condeded. In the person of Captain Grim for Treasurer, and Mr. Aurnan for Commissioner—two gal lant and badly wounded soldiers—we have fitting representatives of the "boy's in blue," and the material for efficient and reliable county officers. Mr. Meyers for Director of the Poor, and Mr. Cupp tor Auditor well represent our staid agricultural community, and complete a very good ticket, which will, as it should be elected by a large majority.— .Som. Whig. MEETING OF CLASSIC. —The "Mercers burg Classis," of the Reformed Church held its annual session in I'attonsvillc, Bedford county, Pa., on Friday. May 17th, at 7 o'clock P. M. The Classis is a representative body com posed of some 25 to 30 ministers and repre sents from 18 to 20 Pastoral charges, in the several counties of Bedford, Huntingdon, Blair, Fulton and Franklin, numbering an adult membership ot over tiOOO, including also ! the Baptist children, (last year's report num bering 5,232.) The officers of Classis, during the past year, were the Rev. H. Hecktnan, of Bedford, Rev. | W. M. Deatrick, of Friend's Cove Stated j Clerk, and Rev. J. llassler, Treasurer. Each minister is required topresent to Class is in writing, a Parochial report, on the state of morals and religion in hii charge, an ac count of all his labors, the lumber of Bap tisms, Confirmations, Deaths, Ac.; also the amount contributed for missions, education, Ac., which report is to be confirmed and en dorsed by the Elder present. The sessions usually last four or five days, aud arc opened to all who See proper to at tend.—Huntingdon Monitor. How A LOAKEK WAS BBBIKED.—We take the following bit of rhyme from the New Al bany (Ind.) Commercial. To the gangs of ignorant young platter-brains who stand at the post-office, church doors and street corn ers, and make obscene remarks about the la dies who pass, we recommend an attentive persual of the following: WHO WAS IT? He was standing on the corner, In the place where loafers meet, And he watched the dressy damsels, As they waded o'er the street. From his mouth came inuendoes, And his eyes were opeued wide, As on tiptoe they came dancing O'er the muddy, sloppy tide. When a lady and her daughter, Stepping carefully along, Closely veiled from street inspection, Heard his slimy venomed tongue. Then the little vuiU were lifted, And with shame his bead he hung, For his mother and his sister , Thus had struck the speaker dumb. We arc Selling Men's all wool Cass.

From a I.ndy. WIST MILTON, Saratoga Co., X. Y., I July , 1861. f I)R. HOSTETTKR —Sir: I have long delayed writing to you 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 ber from an early grave. For three years I have been doctoring her with syrups and all kinds of bitters that have been recomendcd to me for her. besides having two first rate physicians, but all seemed to do her no good, while I was searching the almanacs and alj the newspapers that I could get hold of, in hopes of finding something that would suit her case. Accidentally there came part of a newspaper around some goods that I bought at the Spa. In looking over it I saw at a glance that your Bit tors was just what she needed. I sent the next day to Ballston Spa and got a bottle of your Bit ters. She commenced taking them, and such a change in ono week with her appet'te and the distress that victuals occasioned, and that burn ing in the Stomach, I Devcr saw in my life, as there was in her. She lias taken three bottles and is now able to work alt the time. I think there is a little derangement of the Liver. Please send me three bottles more, which I think will cure her entirely. We and others thought she had a dis ease of the hear*, but that beating and fluttering that wonld almost stop her from breathing at times, is all gone. Yours, with respect, MaylO. MRS.
