Perkinsville is a thriving little village west of Johnstown about three miles, and located near the old canal bed. It has improved rapidly of late, and, judging from its eighty pupils in school, I should say it has about four hundred inhabitants. There is ample room for a large Borough, and, I doubt not, it will be large before ten years. Woodvale is also looking towards a Bor ough charter. The old factory building will be enlarged, or a new building put up, which will add value to the real estate, and a num ber of new dwelling houses are now being erected. The settlement at Mineral Point is also growing so rapidly that a new Borough is talked of up there. A very neat school house and a large saw mill and sash factory havo been built. A. J. Haws has a number of men at Work tip there getting potter's clay, and the Cambria Iron Co. have a num ber of men employed there also. We wiil therefore soon have our share of Boroughs. We havj Johnstown with six wards, Conemaugh with two wards. MUlville with two wards, Cambria, Frofpcrl. Frank lin. East Conemaugh, Pcrkinscille, Wvodvale, and Mineral Point ten Boroughs, with seventeen election di.-tricts.

While thero waiting for tho train, ho bethought himself Df over coat, which he had forgotten at his residence, aud sent a boy for it. Shortly afterwards the train arrived, and, Mr. Keenan preceiv ing the boy returning, ran to ttuvt him, but did not reach the cars till they had gained considerable headway. He gained the plat form, however, but, missing his fool hold, was dragged by the carasomo distance, when he threw himself R. and was fortun.Vely caught by Cyrus MrQ.iaide, of the "West moreland House," jost in timo to prevent his rolling back under the wheels. A por tion of the rim of his hat was cut tiff, and he. himsslf. sustalued some severe bodily inju ries. Tlie large crowd present were spell bound at his periloii situation, and, while many turned their heads away to avoid see ing him cut to pieces, but few had the nerve, or rather presence of mind, to render him the leabt assistance. Grecnuburg Argus. A IIkavt Contract. It will bo Raen by the following item, which we clip from a late issue of the Philadelphia Press, that the Messrs. Collins have been awarded a heavy contract on the Nes-quehouing Rail Road, and it is safe to say that the work iu their hands will be pushed forward to an early and succerbful completion. They de sign commencing operations forthwith, and we trust they wi.'l find a rt-numerati ve profit in tbe contract ; Thb Nisquehomsg Raii road. The let ling of the contract for tke graJing ind ma sonry of this road (about eighteen miles in length) took place yesterdav, the succissful parties being Themas aud Philip Collius. a heavy contracting firm, noted for energy and success in building railroads.

I have studied ontew all its eksen trisities and I hav' kum tew the konklushun that it is what Mister Thomas Benton uv Mizouri called a non-deakript. Sow we hav' a govurment fur it. That guvermcnt is devided, like gall, ontew three parts the legislativ, the jewdishal and the ecksecutiv branches. Then ther is koostitu ehuns and by laws, and nobody obeys them only when they plese. The legislatur gets drunk and then makes a law tew punish drunkards. The jewdishary grants lisenses tew sell likur and then puts men ontew pris on for sollin' likur. The ecksecutiv officers get their liknr fur not tellin' who 6ells iikur klandestingly and then tells ontew tbe ven der before they git sober. Tew men dispute about the boundary lines uv their farms. They go tew law. The judge calls a jure. He givs three lawyers on each side three hours ach tew mistify the case so that eich jurer must peijur himself or leave the box. The judge gits tew men, one ontew each side, tew set and listen till he tells tw jure that tney havn't got nothin' tew do with the cuo but bring iu a verdic. The Court charges is three hundred dollars. Won set of lawyers takes won farm, and t'other set takes t'other farm, tnd it's rekorded ontew the dokets as juslis. A lawyer pledes a case agin a man that sells likur, quotes the bibel and Justin ian and Coke and Blackstun. show in' its all. wrong tew use likur, and then goes tew his boardiu' idase aud gits as drunk as Bakus. Another pledes agin the Bin uv gambliu' and then plays jwke till mornin. Another char ges Iti s klieut one hundred dollars fur losin his cise. A doctor kills 7tis pashtint fur fifty dollars jest half price. While all this is goin' on the poor printer that eulitens the pep'd, the poor poet that thrills the senses, and the skool techer that teches little human natur, are all starvin'. Kongress preaches ekonomy by inkreasin' the aporopriashuns several million uv dol lars. The. legislatur practises ekonomy by multiply in' pasters and folders and inkreasin' their own numbers from one hundred tew three hundred and votin' themselves in kreased pay and milage. Won man is put ontew the Bastil fur violatin' the konstitu shun and by-laws, while all th6 officers uv tho goverment is doin' the same with im pugoity. Konstittitohens and laws is uv no yuse.and if the peole wetn't inherently good the whole fabric of goverment would dissolve like a lump of shugar. Goverment is jest a myth which simpl men obey and cunnin' men larf at. The innoser.t is punished and the raskals eskape. Rogues git awful big salaries for doin' nothin' and poor n.en work their siners away for a mean livin'. Human Natur votes knaves ontew oflij and then taxes itself tremenjus'y tew pay them fur their knavery. Human Natur is poor shaks and ort tew hav a gardecn appintnd to tak care uv it. but uf won was appinted ha wud pokit tho funds and then run off with some body's wife or dorter. Hnman Natur spent mor'n a thousand million uv dollars tew konvert the hethen, that is tew times better then we are. Hu man Natur sells the Injens whisky and guns, and then kills thorn for fitin'. Human Na tur invents a balh t-box and then about there men ontew each eleckshun d-estreet doez the votin', and that's what wo kail a Republic!;. Aheotit one hundred men govern this nas'iuo. It takes more men tew govern Mon.irkikal Russia. We brag aheout Washington and st'.ebr ite h'n b;r:h day with w is'iy. Human Nat ir p-.y the proj-iser nothin, but gives the konsutr.o.' fat sd i ies. Human Natur is easily humbugged. It's worse than the Mormons and tlie itch both together, and ort tew be suppressed by law. We've more laws now than an ostrige could diijest in a thousand niilieniuo.n. nd yet human natur' is gettiu' worsa every day. The only thing that will ever cure human natur will he fur this re erth tew open its mouth and swallow 'em all deown like Jouah swallowed the whale. Yours, in the wool, Nasqy, Ju.

The almanac tells us that this i3.the first month of Spring, but there is nothing above us or below us to ver.fy the fact. Still it is evident from the great bargains in wiuter goods that Rowley Davis is giving to his ctutomers, that he at least wants to make room for bis Spring stock as soon as possible, and hence money can be saved by buying at his establishment.

LITERARY IVOTIXG0, Thb American Yeah Book for 18G9. We certainly owe an apology to tbe publish ers for Laving failed to acknowledge at an earlier day the receipt of the advance pages of a work bearing the above title, now iu course of preparation by the publishers, O. D. Case & Co., Hartford. Conn. The first volume will contain 800 pages printed on fine paper, substantially bound, and will be sold at from $3.50 to JG.00 per copy, accord ing to tbe style of binding. It will embrace astronomical, historical, political, financial and commercial statistics, with a general view of the United States, including every depart ment of the National and State governments, together with a brief account of foreign States and other useful information. It will supply a want that has long been felt, and as a book of reference will be invaluable. No person who wishes to be well informed respecting the affairs of the General and State govern ments, as well as of tbe political, financial and social condition of all other countries, ought to be without it. It is a work of real and substantial merit, and ought to, as we have no doubt it will, meet with a ready sale. Something Extra for Boys and Girls. It is well known that. The Little Cobpo ral. tba brilliant Western Juvenile, has a larger circulation, than any other Juvenile Magazine in the world. This has been gained by real merit and enterprise. The Publishers are endeavoring to aonMe their immeuse circulation this year, and havo determined to send their Magazine free for THRhE months Jatrjary, February and March numbers ot 18o9 kkek to every family who will send their address before the first of May, w ith four cents in stamps for return postage. These are iutended as samples to those who are not now taking the Magazine in its new. enlarged form. Address Alfiiku L. Sewbll & Co., Publish ers, Chicago, HI. Brainard's Mchcal Worlu for March is received, and contains twenty pages of choice new music and interesting reading. This is by far the best and cheapest Mu fdcal Monthly published. Owing to its im mense circulation, (over twenty thousand copies monthly. ) the publishers ar enabled to furnish the Musical World at the low price of one dollar per annum, besides giv ing pianos, organs, guitars, sewing machines, etc.. for clubs. For five subscribers an ele gant writing desk is given. Specimen copies, containing a large amount of choice music, full lift ot premiums, Src. can be obtained by sending ten cents to S. Brainard & Socs, Publishers, Cleveland. O. Godey's Lady's Book, having outstiipped all competitors in the race for literary merit and artistic elegance, is now endeavoring to outdo even itself. The March number is by all odds the most prolific of exquisite engravings, beautiful fashion plates, desira ble patterns of various kinds, and choice reading matter. The design for an "Editor ial S ipper" is one f the prettiest fancies we have ever seen, and no doubt editor's wives all over the country will be acting on the hint conveyed. The Lady's Book is only $i per year, or two copies for 5. ami there is no publication in tho country more fully worth the money. L. A. G-xley, publisher, Philadelphia. Demobsst's Young America.

Dr. Hooklaxd's German Bittur? have re ceived tlie endorsement and cordial approba tion of the most eminent men in this and other communities.
