There can be no question that our 'State is

pure statesmen have passed to a pleasant

all ignoble uses !
-As---you have read elsewhere, there was
much bickering in the unnatural course of
assimilating the odds and ends of this heter
* ogenous Convention. 'During the first clay,.
much resembled a second edition of the
Rump Parliament. I verily believe; if ithad
notheen.for the presence of a.nnmber of us,
who helped ourselves to seats without ereden

ample opportunity to be heard. And when
there was no voting to be done,,, our party
illustrated their position by , calling. for Cox
and -Smith,, and other powerful orators suppo
sed. to flourish in remote'rural districts. Eta
when a John Smith occasionally did take die
floor;_aStinna became suddenly epidemic, and
there vra.s some coughing , to be done. :Vein
while; I must ",E4PLAIN" - (As the Journal
says to:Dr. Wintrode,) that, I represented my
constituency of Ground Ilog - Valley with be
coming dignity; and so secure am I of their
approbation, that, after the final adjournment,
I recommended Judge Jones to return home
to Hollidaysburg by that route, rather than
to run any risk by passing through Altoona
in daylight. •
Ofi'ThUrstlay evening, after the ticket had
been amalgamated, there was a Republican
to be seen running around the town in a
highly excited manner, offering to bet that
Lewis would be elected to the Judgeship. lie
at length found some one drunk enough to
coves his wager, and shook hands with him
self •in sure expectation of winning ; as the
candidates .on both sides were named Lewis.
But
"There is many a slip
'Twixt the cup and the lip."
Next day Hon. Ellis Lewis positively declined
the nomination ; and it is not likely that the
Democratic party will give it to another
member, - o :the' Lewis family; hence, the
" biter is. bitten,' providentially ; for, t,f
course, the Republican nominee . cannot be
successful.
Another droll incident of the Conventien
was the b'ona fide .presence of the original
dog-chub: . aetually , registered itself at
my hotel. 'Net l appearing at table, however,
I was for some time ariprehenSiVe that the
cc.oks had served it up for dinner (a la Wash
ington rat-soup); but, none of the boarders
being seized with "Buchanan grip," it is
right to conclude that the forlorn little ani
mal, after taking the hearings of where it
had got to, made its escape into less troubled
waters, / It doubtless had come hither in obe
dience-to tia ppet's,sublime injunction:
~U p4 f roia tlie sands, ye codlings creep,
And wag your tails about!"
Tuesday-evening,On the " Christian Asso
ciation" of this town treated. us to a lecture
by Henry I'lrard:Beecher ; which; perchance,
was intended for the edification of refractory
delegates, as it was arranged to be delivered
on the eve of the afore-talked-of pow-wow.—
The-'subject was Christian Commonwevlth ;
and.Alle .pastor of the Church of the Holy
Rifles dandled it in a manner significantly
characteristio.----.1 never listen to the " spout-.
inns" of erring yet brilliant ?H ind, but
that I am reminded of remark once made
in conversation by my. venerable friend Theo
dore D.wight. - Said-he, ‘,‘Asto Christendom,

Thirty members of the Philadelphia Insti

there reason to believe from 'what can be

platform, pouring out the sweet, clear strains -
of Bethooven and Mozart: That Man's heart

POSTSCEIPT.
When I closed the letter for this mor'ning's
mail, I little ,:thought this melancholy post
sbript would be added.
Little WILLIE CRANGLE is no more.
In your town of Huntingdon, there are
young hearts that will throb with' grief' as
they read that line and pause to make them
selVes sure their pleasant playfellow , will re
turn to them never again.
Spring will soon come, with the green grass
and young flowers .and glad song of birds ;
bright Summer will follow after, and fruitful
Autumn, and hoary Winter 'will come and go
in the season's train : 'but he Whose sweet
eyes brightened and pure heart grew happier
with theirs, in the sports of Springs and
Summer's gone, shall return to their circle,
nevermore. •
Not many weeks ago, when the moonlight •
was bright upon the snow-drifts, his sled was
with the merry throng upon the hill-side, and
his voice was heard among the clear tones
that rang out upon the frosty breeze. And
to-night, while he lays in silence, beneath the
sorrowing watch of those who loved him; and
other nights, when he lays beneath the moss
on the bank of the Susquehanna; and for
many, many days and nights to' come, while
time shall last, far up in the blue sky, beyond,
the great golden sun, and•beyond the farthest
little star, WILLIE'S voice will be heard in
the army of cherubs, chanting praises eter-'
nally to lint who bath brought them trium—
phantly to the thither shore of dpatli7s dark •
river.'
At this hour, there is sadness in the hearts
of all his friends—and WILLIE had many
friends among the old as well as young.—
There is the gloom or grief in a mother's
breast, and in. the breasts of those other
friends who loved him with parents' love.
After mailing my letter to the Globe, I had
been:spending this morning in the ,State Li
brary, turning over the leaves of David Paul
Brown's new book, "The Forum;" and pon
dering' upon the biography there given of.
WlLran's .di6t;nguis'hed relative,' Hon. EMS
Lewis, I returned.to my study to find in the
rack a note' telling that the little boy's soul
had escaped from its sufferings at early morn
ing, to meet the rising sun upon its eastern
track—more radiant now than that sun, his
spirit clad in robes of immortal beauty.
WILLIE was good and gentle and *winning;
in his manners; an apt student, and gifted
with natural 4tbilities that were developed far
beyond his years. lie came from his home
in Huntingdon to' Harrisburg, less than two
months ago, to attend the funeral of his only
sister, who had died with scarlet fever. He
caught the infection,. and he too is its victim.
Together the orphan children wear the cor
onet of immortality. She had but gone a
little while before, to find for her brother
where, in the vales of Heaven, the sweetest
flowers grow and the brightest fountains leap
up in the sunshine of 'the smile of Gon.
I . I.IR.RISBURG . , March 27, 1857
MR. EDITOR :—One who has never realized
it cannot conceive of the anxiety with which
I look forward to each Wednesday evening
for the arrival of The Globe. I am always
at the P. 0. in, due season and as soon as the
:paper is handed.over, I strike ~a. "bee line"
for home, (for I am at home ,Wherever I take
my hat -off,) and in a short time, Iknow who
among my acquaintances in Huntingdon
county have made their,exit from the active
scenes of life, or, who have embarked for a
voyage on the sea of matrimony; and infact
everything' of importance which has trans
pired. It is singular.hOW , attractive a paper
or anything else from one's native Place be•-
comes when abroad. It'is'so withme at least:
perhaps it is because I feel a little home sick
at times, however, not quite so bad as the sub
ject. of that " cat story," so conically descri
bed by Max. Greene. I had, intended this
week to write of McKim the murderer of
Norcross, whom I saw while he was impris
oned here last week—of Henry Ward Beecher
who lectured before the Young 11Ien's Chris
tian Association on Tuesday evening last;
and of the musical exhibition given by the
pupils of the Philadelphia Institution for the
Instruction of the Blind, on Wednesday even
ing, but will laythem all aside, and describe
a . visit which I took on Saturday last to Me
chanicsburg, in Cumberland county, situated
eight miles south of Harrisburg, on the rail
road leading to Chambernburg.
.If you recol
lect, it was a beautiful Spring morning—one
of the pleasantest Welave had since stern
old _Winter has wrapped his snowy mantle
about him and left for arctic regions just
the right kind for a visit to the country by
one like me who has been shut up in a dusty
office for two or three' weeks, and so bUsy as
to hardly have time to look out to see the sun,
though I believe that luminary still continued
to shine all the time except on Wednesday

evening, when it took a short game, " peep."
I took the 8 o'clock train ; and as the iron
horse hurried us along I could only obtain
glimpses of houses, trees and fields as we
hasted along. On arriving at Mechanics
burg I foXincl it to be a pleasant little town of
about the size of your " ancient borough,"
containing many large and handsome build
ings, several churches, and one Printing
office. I inquired the way and soon found
.myself at the entrance of the Cumberland
Valley Institute. I was cordially received by
my respeeted 'friend D. RUPP, .the
Princi
pal. _ I found him busily engaged in arrang
ing his books and mineral specimens. His
library cerrttpris' es i ever one thousand volumes.
This institution for young ladies - and gentle
men has for.several years been in successful
operation under - the -care of the Rev. ,J. S.
Loosu. It has now passed into the hands "of
RUPP ilt; COYLE. It is situated on a slight em
inence at the upper end of the town, surroun
ded by a .large yard containing trees and
flowers, with walkS leading through it. Ev
erything in and about the building displays
taste and neatness, and the proprietors, with
the assistance of their present able, and ex
cellent board of instructors, will no doubt
make it a school second to none iii the State.
-The view from the cupola is beautiful. On
the west, in the distance, the Blue mountain
range can be distinctly seen. As I stood
looking over this beautiful valley, now cover:-
ed with fertile farms and dotted with build
ings, all the history and tales of romance and
fiction of the valleys of Cumberland and
IVyoraing crowded into my memory. What
a change a century makes ! But I must
reign up my pen, and put this .in the pare of
uncle Sam for conveyance to you.
SPRUCE CREEk, March 27, 1857
- Ma.'EDlTOß:—Having seen that you lion
ored"my last, by inserting it in the columns
of your valuable paper, I thought probably
you would listen to me again, on the subject,
"Speak ill of no man."
There are-many persons in the world, who
are in the habit of speaking lightly or eon
temptuonSly of their neighbors, and some
who do not scruple. to treat those who are ab
sent, with 'the greatest disrespect, by - showing
up their faults to those who are present, with
out ever alluding to any good qualities they
possess. There is nothing so detestable as
this habit Of backbiting.: iri society;, it often
produces the greatest • bitterness ' of 'feeling,.
between those who. ought_ to live in peaee and
good felloiySl4;;-towards each other, and it
never does any good; It 'generally arises
from a• selfish feeling', but sometimes from
thoughtlessness; in either case, it is injurious
to society, and ought-to be condemned by ev
ery well-meaning and sensible person. Sel
fish persons have generally such an apprecia
tion of themselves and the situation they hold
in society, that they are apt to speak of oth
ers with' contempt, and are even happy when
they discover the least fault, (however trivial
it may be,) in someof their.neighbors, or ac
quaintances. Instead of which, it would be
as well for them to examine their own con
'duct, to see whether they are without fault.
It-would be better if they were to consider
the noble destiny which all mankind partake
of in common with themselves, both as re-.
spects the great moral end of this life, and
the more sublime prospect of "the future—if
they would remember the great fellowship Of
our common humanity; the social end, which,
as a part of a great community, we are all
working to attain, and which awaits us at
the close of our brief existence. Let them
reflect upon these things, and not offend their
Creator, by injuring their fellow-creatures;
rather let them judge others with tenderness,
as they would wish to be, judged, putting
aside the weeds that cover the surface of the
characters of their neighbors, to ascertain the
depth and sweetness of the clear water be
neath it.
OLD JERRY OF SPRUCE CREEK
MR. EDITOR :—During mylate visit to Blair
county, I-spent a few days in Sinking Valley,
and was no little surprised to find the people
of that beautiful and productive Valley so
far behind the enterprising population of the
hills and valleys of old Huntingdon in rela
tion to common schools. They have no such
things as teachers meetings or township in
stitutes. One eveningwhile I was in the Val
ley the, directors called a meeting to discuss'
'the utility of erecting a new school house in'
one of the districts under their control. As
it was near my lodgings ; I attended, expect- .
ing to learn something, or at least see the
mocha operandi of a Sinking Valley school
meeting. After spending an hour in discus
sing different topics, the house was called to
order, and a President and, Secretary was
elected. The . President walked' to the chair;
stated.the object of the meeting, and return
ed to the stove.; . The subject was then drop
ped, and two old farmers commenced talking,
about the price of beef, raising stock, &c.—..
A little farther back, the subject of •conver
sation seemed to be post and:rail fence, etc.,
etc. In the course of half an hour, the Sec
retary inquired, which the " beef question," ,
or fence, should come first in the. minutes.—
This hit brought them back to the proper sub
ject. Some one made a motion to build a
new school house, which motion, after some
discussion, (the debaters keeping their seats
while speaking,) was carried. The subject
of location for a new house, was then brought
up for discuSsion. One old gentleman, well
to do in the present world, but extremely ir
ritable,
who, for the sake of convenience, I
shall call Demas, insisted on building a. mile
closer to him, than the site of the old house
and when he was defeated in this, he opposed
'building at all, stating that the house they
had was good enough. As a teacher, I gave
them my. opinion on the subject, pointing out
the many deficiencies apparent in the old
house—for it is built in the old style, with
writing desks fastened to the walls, shattered
windows, unfit for ventilating the room, and
like "Jordan," "other things according.."—
When I had finished, Demas evidently smart
ing under the home thrusts made at hispeCk
et-book, alias, his heart—arose bursting with
the fury of the Eolcan Ajax, and the weak
ness of his namesake of old, poured forth a
tirade of abuse upon the teachers of common
.-„
schools in general.. He went on to say that
it is not for the. : scholars that the teachers
want new hduses, but merely to gratify them
selves, and get the "beeples nionks."—
" Washington and our fathers," he said; "did
not get such houses to go to school in: It is
teachers, instead of school houses We want,
and good old fashioned ones at that". I pit
ied Demas and the other good'people, because
I knew that "money; bath charms to soothe
the savage breast," . but still I felt confident
that the only objection to the teachers of the
present time is, that they are competent men,
and will not teach for such salaries as they
received in the days of old fogyism. Wheth
er the new.school house will be built or not,
time alone can,' tell. Be that as it may, I
fecl proud in saying that the Teachers, Di
rectors and patrons of common schools of old
Huntingdon, are coming - up to the work no
bly; and if Blair does not arouse her latent'
energies, she will'be left far in the wake.

Jonet McatuAN, .Esq.,,aged 77 years.
JOHN McCAnAN, Esq., was born in a small village, called
Diumnahaigh, in the north of Ireland, November, 1780—
landed in the United States, August, 1792. He, was bound
as an apprentice to Steel & McClain. of Carlisle, to learn
the printing business, in 1795—the establishment of these
men failed in 1796, and with their failure, ended his ap
prenticeship—he worked as a Jour with M. Duffey, in
Huntingdon, 1797, (no post office in Huntingdon. at that
period.) Duffey failed and went to Baltimore, when Mr.
McCitmx followed him, and worked for William Pechin.—
Hecommenced business in Huntingdon, January, 1801—
quit printing in 1828.
Mr. McCAnA37 was an aged, venerable, and highly respec
ted citizen, whose decease has occasioned, in this commu
nity, an expression of universal regret. lie came to the
wilds of the Juniata region, a young man, and settled in
this borough, when it was a little village on the frontiers.
Several efforts were made by different persons, to estab
lish a newspaper in this town, without meeting sufficient
encouragement. About the eginning of the year 1801,
Mr. McCAmts commenced the publication of the Hunting
don Gazette, of which paper he was the editor and proprie
tor, and continued in that capacity until the 9th of July,
1828, when he was succeeded by his son, J. KINNEY Mc-
CAnAN. After experiencing the troubles and vicissitudes
incident to the vocation, he then, after twenty-seven years
toil, retired from the pursuit of what he considered "a fa
vorite profession." . .
lie was a man of remarkable firmness and decision of
character, and nnitim• these qualities of mind with indus
try, energy, and good judgment, he was enabled to work
his way successfully theough the world, and amass a large
estate. Unostentatious. Le never sought political prefer

ceased was the youngest son of James Magehan, Esq., and
was born near Munster, in this county. in 1820. For the
first seventeen years of his eventful life, he resided in the
county, and by his aptness, urbanity and generosity, en
deared himself to all who possessed the pleasure of his ae
:quaintance. lie then emigrated to St. Louis, where his
ability,'energy and perseverance identified him with thci
growth of that city. Alike celebrated for the good quali
ties of head and heart, he won both the admiration and
affection of his fellow-citizens. When the California fever
raged, he left the city of his adoption to pitch his tent in
the "gOlden land." here his talents were called into
ac
tive operation, and by his integrity and business capacity,
he soon amassed a fortune, and returned to share it with
the friends of his infant days, and to die mid the scenes of
his early life, on the tree-clad summits of his native Alle
ghenies.
He possessed a well cultivated mind and as generous a
heart as ever softened at the cry of pity, or chimed to the
noble impulses of humanity. Green be the turf above
