lIUNTINGDON, SEPT. 21, 1857,
MR. EDITOR : It was my fortune, to pay
a short visit, to-day, to the Huntingdon Fe
male Seminary. I went there, unexpectedly
to, myself, and entirely so, to the accom
plished teacher, (Miss BIGELOW) who has
charge of it. I was accompanied by one of
its patrons, who was equally gratified with
myself at the proficiency made by the schol
ars, in the short time which has elapsed
since the re-opening of the school on the first
of the current month (September). Several
of them entered with the commencement of
the present session. The recitations we wit
nessed, were nothing more than a part of
the ordinary, every-day exercises of the
school, unaccompanied by any previous prep
aration on the part of either teacher or schol
ars, for an exhibition before outsiders.—
When we entered the school room, the class
in Algebra, was - about half through the les
-son for the day, and was examined to the end,
in the most complicated descriptions of appa
rently puzzling questions, all of which were
correctly solved with but little aid from the
teacher. Each young lady was required to
repeat or restate the problem to be solved,
before commencing the process of solution.
An interesting little girl (who only entered
a short time since) expressed a fear that she
could not solve a particular one propounded
to her, and by her expressive looks, begged
her teacher to let it pass her. Two short
words of encouragement, softly spoken, "try
it," fell upon the ear and reached the flutter
ing heart of the despairing little disciple.—
Courage and confidence returned, and she
passed through the mazes of the complex
proposition in triumph. It was an interesting
spectacle, and showed the power and skill of
the teacher in bringing into action the men
tal faculties of those she trains. The exer
cises of the algebra class were followed by
an exhibition of mental arithmetic which
equally gratified and astonished my compan
ion and myself. Although we knew some
thing of the merits of the teacher and of the
thoroughness with which instruction is im
parted by her, in all the departments of learn
ing in which she undertakes to instruct, yet
we had no conception (at least I had not)
that such rapidity, in the process of mental
calculation, as we witnessed, under Miss Big
elow's examination of the class, could be
achieved, by such juvenile minds. It was
obvious, from all we seen and heard, that the
results reached in the processes of demon
stration were not the transcripts which mere
memory unfolded, but were the conclusions of
reason, and of the reasoning faculties, brought
to bear, with surprising activity, upon the
elements of each proposition. Mere memory
could never have - performed _the work. I
freely confess-, I felt humbled, at the slowness
with which my own mind worked, in refer
ence to the questions propounded by the
teacher, when compared with the rapid oper
ations of the minds in the youthful bodies
before me. And here, let me say to the peo
ple of Huntingdon and of Huntingdon coun
ty, that they are exceedingly fortunate, in
having in their midst, such a school as Miss
Bigelow's, in which to have the minds of their
daughters trained fur the battle of life.—
There is no skimming of the surface under
her teaching, but every mental faculty is
brcktght into active exercise and strengthened
uso, just as the muscular power is increas
ed by the action of the body. Here you can
have your daughters thoroughly instructed
in all the solid branches of an English educa
tion , and in all that tits woman for the active
duties of her position, whatever it may be,
and that, too, at but a trifling cost when com
pared with the expenses of many, yea, many,.
superficial educations obtained at fashionable
boarding schools. I beg leave to state in this
connexion a fact, which too much characteri
zes the history of female education in Penn
sylVa,nia. We are too prone to think that a
feW quarters of instruction (thorough or other
wise) of our daughters, are enough for them,
and We w' ithdraw them from school, starting
than on the vcyage of life, just at a time
when their minds have merely passed through
the normal state of preparation for the recep
tion of instruction—and just at a time when
they are beginning to appreciate its import
ance. They are suddenly arrested in their
career of learning ; in their acquisition of
knowledge, before they have even reached its
portals. This is not justice to them, nor is it
justice to the world in which they are to
move in after life. It is a trite saying that
mothers mould the minds and characters of
their children, and they are expected to do
so, although their own minds have never been
subjected to the one-foerth of the training
they ought to. have received in the suscepti
bilities and fiexibilities of youth. Fathers
; do not lay this subject sufficiently to heart,
and do not properly estimate the responsibil
ities which rest upon them, to prepare their
; daughters for the trials in their pathway in
.whatever situation fickle fortune may place
them. If they are expected to mould the
.character of men, their own minds must be
schooled for the work. Again : Fathers know
not what misfortunes_ await them—nor how
soon adversity may compel them to earn
their own bread by the labor of their hands
if their minds are inadequate to the task.—
The rich of to-day are ;the poor of to-morrow,
and no times are more illustrative of this
truth, than the present. Every dictate of
_duty, then, to country, and of affection for
'family, ought to admonish parents, whether
male . or female; to los4 no opportunity ; with
which fortune may favor them, to thoroughly
educate their daughters according to the
means with which a kind Providence has
blessed them. The dollars which may be
spent now in their proper training may be
worth thousands in the changing chapters of
after years. But I have wandered uninten
tionally into a chapter on female education,
whilst my purpose was merely to notice the
character of the school to which I have call
ed your attention as the conductor of a pub
lic journal. Visit it and judge for yourself.
Do not wait for public examinations,, but
drop in at any time when the school is in
session, and you will have more reliable
means of judging as to the character of the
daily instructions given than any such exam
inations can afford you. M.
MR. EDITOR :—On Friday, the 18th instant,
we had the pleasure of attending a grand
Sunday School celebration near Marklesburg,
a short account of which I purpose giving
you. The celebration was held in a beauti
ful grove, on the farm of Mr. Henry Boyers,
about fourth of a mile from the village, and
consisted of the pupils, teachers, and others
connected with the Salem, Marklesburg, Zi
on's church, Coffee Run and Branch Sabbath
schools. The scholars of all the schools were
formed in procession on the green surround
ing the Methodist church, and matched to
the grove hi beautiful order, displaying sev
eral tastefully decorated banners, bearing ap
propriate mottos. In the grove was erected
a temporary stand and seats for the accom
modation of a large number of spectators.—
The audience were then called to order by
Mr. J. C. .T.lagey, who made an eloquent
prayer. After which Mr. F. Lane, of Hun
tingdon, was introduced, and delivered a very
able address, mainly to the pupils. He was
followed by our worthy friend Gen. John
Williamson, who was listened to with delight
ed attention by all. There was now display
ed under the foliage of the giant oaks, a large
table, amply provided with the good things of
the season, of which, after the children had
been supplied by their teachers, the whole
company present were invited to partake.
The company were again called to order
about half past one o'clock, when Rev. Mr.
Fletcher was called on, followed by Rev. Mr.
Bechtel, who both delivered short but pleas
ing and appropriate addresses. Dr. Wintrode
made the concluding remarks, and spoke on
the importance of Sunday schools, showing
that religious truths if properly instilled into
the minds of the young must ultimately pro
duce to the recipients a beneficial result.—
This concluded the programme for the day,
and we now retraced our way homeward.—
The pleasing entertainment of the day will
long be remembered by W. J. G.
A Literal Runaway Match.
A capitol story is told by a Texas paper of
a runaway , match that came off in that State:
It seems that n. couple bad resolved to
get married, not Withstanding the opposition
of parents and relatives of every degree;
and securing the co-operation of a friendly
clergyman, they all three mounted their hor
ses and set out for a friend's mansion, several
miles distant; where the rights could be sol
emnized without interference. They had
gone far, however, before their flight was dis
covered, and then there was as much mount
ing and racing and chasing as occured on the
, Icasion of " Young Lochiavar's" celebrated
occa, Jeil/LtViLa _
elopement with the Netherby maiden. The
lovers and their faithful pastor soon heard
the noise of approaching pursuers, and gave
their horses the spur. But alas! their ene
mies were better mounted and gained fast
upon them. It was evident they would soon
be captured, when a felicitous inspiration of
the maiden came to their aid. "Can't you
marry us as we run?" she shouted to the
clergyman. The idea took, and the pastor .
at once commenced the ritual. All parties
`covered themselves with glory' and just as
the bride's father clutched her bridle rein,
the clergyman pronounced the lovers man
and wife. When the old gentleman first
learned what had been done he was inclined
to be furious, but being a gallant old fellow,
and admiring a dashing action, he soon con
cluded to forgive the runaways in considera
tion of the handsome and novel manner in
which they triumphed over him.
TUE SUGAR TRADE.—The fall in the value
of sugar and molasses has been great within
a few weeks past. The losses on the stock
on hand must have been many millions of
dollars to dealers in this country, and much
more to foreign holders, The Boston Trav
eler says :
The decline from the highest point is now
over 3 cents a pound, and there is strong
probability that the bottom is not yet half
reached. When the decline had reached
only one half the present amount, a few
weeks since, the New York Independent es
timated that on the stock of 85,000 tons of
sugar and four million gallons of molasses,
held in that port alone, the, loss was then
fully three and a half million dollars. Of
course it must be double that now, and if
this loss is made on that in New 'York alone,
what must it be on that vast quantity afloat,
in store in Europe and in the United States,
and the stocks on hand in the sugar export
ing countries. It cannot be less than fifty
millions of dollars already, and as the ten
dency is steadily downward, it will probably
reach a hundred millions before the dealers
will be able to touch the next crop.
JrPErA certain facetious acquaintance of
ours, was a few days ago, "poking his fun"
at the very high and steep hills which give
such an air of sublimity to some parts of
our county and said that he had seen cultiva
ted fields so precipitous that he had to lie on
his back to see to their top! Whereupon he
was taken down by another "sharp custom
er," in this style: I was once at a place (said
Mr.—where the fields were so steep that
the people looked up their chimneys to see
whether the cows wore coming home! We
left, wondering what human nature will

JOYFUL MEETINO.—Herr Driesbach, the
lion tamer, who a few years ago retired from
the menagerie business, and devoted himself
to farming in Wisconsin, has lately visited
his old companions, the lions, tigers and
leopards, at Dubuque, lowa, where the men
agerie containing them was stopping. The
meeting was quite affecting. The lioness,
which was a particular favorite, caught sight
of him, and her eyes beamed with pleasure,
while her tail wagged a glad recognition.—
On his coming up to her she appeared frantic
with joy, and when he spoke to her and pre
sented his face to the cage, she kissed him
and placed her paw in his hand with the air
of an intense affection. Indeed, while he
was in her presence, she could not control
herself, but would lick his hands while he
attempted to pat her, roll over, reach out her
paws to him, and then press her nose be
tween the bars as though she would like to
have had a closer presence. The other ani
mals were equally affectionate.

CAUSE OP THE SUICIDE OF SENATOR RUSK.-
A gentleman just from Texas has communi
cated to us facts bearing on the recent mel
ancholy death of Senator Rusk, which throw
more light on that sad event than all else
concerning it we had previously learned. It
seems that he was suffering at the time most
grievously from a carbuncle oh the back of
his neck, Which, for sixty days, had baffled
the skill of his physician, and bade fair, un
less arrested soon, to terminate in his death.
He had been suffering intensely from it on
the day he committed the fatal act, and it
Was believed by those surrounding him that
the agonies of the disease, added to his be
lief that it Would deprive him of life in less
than thirty days, had much to do in bringing
about his resolution to make away with him

OCTOBER APPOINTMENTS
DR. HARDMAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs, (formerly , Physician to Cincinr

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
Maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach, If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They wore in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local. and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact . with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple,
that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, 1 usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
, Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases orstomach

All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and altforms of nervous disease.

"The finest among the many pianos at the Crystal Palace
are those placed there by Horace Waters, whose instru
ments are always popular.
The following we take from the "Christian Advocate"
(Memphis, Tenn.:) "The Horace Waters,Pianos are built
of the best and most thoroughly seasond material. From
all we can learn of this establishment—said to be the lar
gest in the United States—we have no doubt that buyers
can do as well, perhaps better, at this than at any other
house in the Union,
"Mr. Waters has been long established and is favorably
known. We speak from experience when we assure our
readers that his prices are below those usually charged
for articles in his line."---Jacksonian,

American Pianos, and an honor to the skilful manufactprer.
There is no doubt but they.will be appreciated by the pub.
lie and all admirers of true merit.—Oscar Conwttant.
The treble is, clear. pure, powerful, and very melodious,
the base is deep, rolling, and sonorous: the iniddlepart IA
rich, and sympathetic, and possessing the power of sing
ing, i. e. of uniting the sound of each tone, in a degree but
rarely achieve d."—./.lenry C. Watson.
For power of tone, depthof brass, and brilliancy of tre
ble, together with accuracy of touch, they ere equal to any

and most thoroughly seasoned material, and upon im
proved principles, it is capable of resisting the action of
the climate. and of standing a long time In tune.—Savan
nah Republican, Savannah, Ga."
Waters' pianos and melodeons challenge comparison
with the finest made anywhere in the country. - -Hones
Journal.
C. L. Shules, editor of the Kenocha "Tribune and Tele
graph" says, " The piano was received in good order, and
is pronounced au excellent instrument by good judges,
the tone of it is particularly commended, as is indeed its
external workmanship and finish, compared - with its cost."
Speaking of the _brace Waters' Pianos and Melodeons
at the Crystal Palace the " New York Disptach" says :
" A number of these pianos and pedal bass organ Laclede,
ons, from their great power, and fullness and richness of
tone, attract the very general attention and commenda
tion of visitors. Waters "hew Scale" i.s recognized by
artists as not only a sensa.t but in:porta:it improvement
in pianos."
The " New York Express" says: "The Horace Waters'
Pianos are pronounced by musical amateurs as a decidedly
superior article in all the requisites of this instrument,
and it is fast superseding those of other manufacturers."
The New York Evening Post" says: "The Horace
Waters' Pianos are excellent as well as cheap; but he has
those of other makers. as well as second-hand ones, capi
tally adapted to limited means."
Says the " Knoxville (Tema.) Standard :" "Mr. Waters
has long experience in the business. and has gained a repu
tation unsurpassed for eelling the best instruments in the
country."
The ' Sunny South" reaches us with the following:—
" This gentleman is one of the most extensive music-deal
ers in the Union. Ms pianos and melodeons have ob
tained great celebrity for their excellent tone and durabla
quality.'
Says the "Valley City Advocate:" 4 "We have taken a

tone, and powerful. —2%w York Musical _Review.

the United States, and far superior to those of a similar
make 1 saw in Englaud."—Geo. Waslebourne Morgan.
"I take great pleasure in announcing them instruments
of a superior quality, both in tune and touch."—Augme
Gockel.
We don't know that we ever saw better pianos—pianos
better made, of finer tone and of greater power—than we
met with yesterday at the fair in the Crystal Palace. The
finest among them are those placed there by Horace We

anger.

they are unrivalled by any other instrument, in perfect
quality of tone and power."—Courier.

brated and improved makes of the day. For power, bril
liancy and richness of tone, elasticity of touch. and
beauty of finish, they will not suffer in comparison with
those of any other manufacturer."—Thomas Bakeit
The "State Register" contains the following: "For
beauty of finish, sweetness and brilliancy of tone, they
undoubtedly surpass anything of the kind ever brought
before the public. They equal in tone the grand piano;
and being constructed of the best and most thoroughly
seasoned material, they are capable of resisting the action
of any climate."
Says the "Evening Mirror": They (the Horace Waters'
Pianos) are very superior instruments and the maker
may confidently challenge comparison with any other
manufacturer in the country, its regards their outward
elegance, and quality of tone and power."
IMP. BRUNKER is agent for the sale of these Pianos,

and putting up of them, apd keeping them in tune, for
