THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, SiG
Line nponLine--Mere and There a Little.
A CONTRABT.—The Pennsylvania Railroad is better man
aged than the Banks. Whilst the latter (although in a
state of suspension and virtual insolvency, because of
their inability to pay their honest debts,) are declaring
dividends for their steticholders—the Managers of the
former have wisely determined on the postponement of
the payment of the dividends to its stockholders, prefer
ing to pay off their debts before attempting',o, divide the
profits of the concern.
GRAIN FOE, Etisors.—There are now loadingirain and
flour at this port, (says the N. Y. Journal of Commerce,)
the large number of thirty ships, all for Europe. They
will average about 20,000 bushels for each ship. Such a
wholesale exportation of these two great staple articles of
agricultural produce is unprecedented.
AI&F - We owe some of our subscribers an apology for
sending them copies of Tits GLOBE imperfectly printed. It is
impossible for us to have our work well done at all times
unless we do it ourselves. We shall try to have Tits
lawns perfect hereafter.
A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.—About the best thing, it would
,seem, that a man could do in the way of providing for his
family, ' - •tvould be to got killed on a railroad. We observe
that a widow in Massachusetts recovered $lB,OOO damages
againt the Boston and Worcester Railroad Company, the
other day, for having killed her husband.
A limn) MoNnr Svern.—There is lofting but specie in
Arkansas, there being no banks. Taxes are paid in gold
and silver, and the State pays nothing but the "hard"
out. The State Treasury is well provided with gold and
silver, having more than will keep the Government for
two years.
GOOD Iltmrs.—When a Beading girl gets married, she
requires her new husband to send all the editors in the
city, a bottle of Berke county wine, which they call "Ca
tawba." She makes the DUTCII cake, and sees that it goes
along—and then the printers have a feast.
The Delaware county girls are more intellectual, and
their rule is a better one. They enjoin upon the happy
man who obtains their hand and heart, the necessity of
subscribing for a county paper—and he does it.
The Jatter rule should be adopted by the girls of this
county. TEIE GLOBE is only $1,50 in advance, and a mar
riage notice in the bargain. Who will be the first to give
us a call? P. S.—Cake not declined.
Dauss or Souza—keep off the railroad track. No less
than four men have been killed and several wounded ,
within two weeks, on the Central.
PANIC Sranca.—An old gentleman called in our sanc
tum yesterday to inquire of the extent of the panic. He
has a fine farm, heavy crops, fat cattle and other stock on
hand; owes nobody, but every body owes him; has specie
enough to see him through a six 'months,' and won't sell
his fat stock or produce until the panic is over or prices
come up to his figures. We suppo,4ed him a happy man
until he said ho was too poor to subqcribe for a county
paper.
21.
NOT TO um rottxn—tlie man upon whom was visited that
"'fearful judgment." Ife is not in the neighborhood of
Mount Union, as stated by a number of our exchanges.
AN EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL 1t1.71.E.—A few days since
at man gave us a call and sold us a half bushel of apples at
the rate of 6234 cents per bushel. Some three hours after
be called again and gave us back a "fip," stating that he
bad sold the rest of his load at 50 cents a bushel and
would not take a higher price from one man than he re
ceived from others. We give it as our candid opinion that
that man sleeps sound after he gets through with the la
bors of the day.
Ini'•the Hollidaysburg "Standard" says the liquor bu
siness is at a dead stand in that place. No wonder the
landlords there and everywhere else, have objections to
the "panic" reform. What could not be accomplished by
persuasion is now being accomplished by necessity. What
glorietts time this, to revive the Washingtonian fire.
ht,Z — John Schmidt is a German banker in LouisNille.—
Ho suffered a run, was obliged to saspeno, but di I not cicso
his doors. He simply stuck up a notice in high dutch
that he was going to have sonic money pretty soon. Two
days after ho took flown the notice, and put np another,
stating that he had $15,000 on hand. There was another
run, and the $15,000 was soon gone. John put up the old
notice again, and the next day was again in funds, when,
In accordance with his old plan, he changed the notice.—
At last accounts there was no run on John Schmidt, and
his depositors had all came back to him. That IN as
straightforward Dutch pluck and honesty.
HORRIBLE Xtss.man.—An entire train of emigrants from
Missouri and Arkansas, bound to California, by way of
the Great Salt Lake, have lately been massacred by the
Indians ut the Mountain Meadows, sonic distance south
of the most southern Norman settlements. The compa
ny consisted of a hundred and thirty-live men, women
and children. All were massacred with the exception of
fifteen infant children that were afterwards, with difficul
ty-, purchased by the ,Norman interpreters.
.fir David Warner, injured on the railroad, had so far
recovered from his injuries as to be able to return home
last week.
BUSINESS nErwrio.—We learn from the city papers that
business is already beginning to look up.
SPECIE.—We occasionally get a sight at a rusty half or
whole dollar. Tumble them out, there will be plenty of
new ones in circulation before the country goes to smash.
4* — Tho Cotton Mills of Pittsburg have suspended ope
rations, throwing out of employment upwards of two
thonsand females.
SusPENDED—the "Shirleysburg Herald," for want of the
‘‘munitions of war."
.120'"A Centre county farmer lately visited Harrisburg,
and while walking the streets by gas light was picked up
by a couple of •'nymps of the paw" and done brown to the

.-M.Tn Philadelphia there is a widow lady, who has 25
children, all living at home, and none ottliem married.—
We'll wager our old hat that those marriageable, are ei
ther too proud to go into partnership with their equals,
or too lazy to bo of any value to any body.
Dux LOOK mum—the greasy, dirty, ragged one and two
dollar bills, which have again taken the place of the
'hard'. If the cholera should again become general in the
cities and towns, those guilty of putting such filth again
in circulation will be held responsible.
..An editor out West, advises private debtors to get
themselves incorporated into Banks, as soon as possible,
because when a man fails, his property is seized, and if ho
attempts to evade payment, he is called a "swindler", but
when Banks fail they aro unfortunate, and the Legislature
snakes it all right. Pretty true.

.Reports say the Mormons are congregated in large
numbers, even on this side of the mountain, burning the
grass; and are determined, it seems, to prevent the en
trance of the 11. S. troops into the valley. They are regu
larly enrolled in thousands, and if Col. Johnston enters
the valley ho can act only on the defensive with his hand
ful of men. They have already burnt three supply trains,
consisting of seventy-eight wagons.

The teachers and a number of citizens of
Franklin, held an Institute in Cool Run
School-house, November 6th and 7th, 1857.
The meeting was organized by appointing
Mr. Laporte, President, and electing A. .13.7.
Miller, Secretary. The minutes of the pre
vious meeting were then read and adopted.
On motion, Mr. Houck delivered an excel
lent introductory address, after which, the
following snbjeet was presented for consider
ation: "The perfections and imperfections
of our Common School System," and was
opened by A. B. Miller.
A gentleman from Blair County then en
tertained the audience nearly three quarters
of an hour, with a very wearisome "talk."—
The discussion was interestingly continued,
until a very late hour, by Messrs. Benj. Har
don, J. D. Brown and others. Mr. Mattern,
Esq., was then called to give his views upon
the subject; he responded in an able and in
teresting manner.
Notwithstanding the falling rain and mud
dy roads, the house was fairly filled with pa
rents and children; who, by their good atten
tion, manifested a strong educational interest
in this district. On motion, adjourned, to
meet on the following morning at 9 o'clock.
.Morning Session. Mr. Ewing in the Chair.
The subject of teaching Reading was very
appropriately introduced by J. D. Brown in
structing a class of little girls. On motion,
the subject of securing the attendance and
attention of scholars, was introduced, and
discussed by teachers and citizens until noon.
The Afternoon Session, was occupied by
teachers giving their methods of instruction
in Arithmetic and Geography.
The following resolutions were offered and
adopted:
Resolved, That we view our " School Sys
tem" as the palladium of our "Religious In
stitutions," and the safe-guard to our glorious
inheritance bequeathed to us by our fore
fathers.
Rex°!red, That we return to the citizens of
this district, our due thanks for their interest
manifested in behalf of our Institute, and
for their hospitality shown towards us.
leesolred, That «•e, as an Association, re
turn to the Editor of the HuNI-IN-G - 1)(3N G
our thanks for the free publication of our
proceedings from time to time.
The nest meeting was appointed for Spruce
Creek School-house, on Friday, the 20th inst.
Opening address by Mr. Bathurst. Subject
of discussion: "The object of an Education."
On motion, adjourned.
It is but just to add, that the interest of
Franklin in the welfare of her schools and in
the education of her youth, is unsurpassed
by that of her sister townships. Her Insti
tutes are growing in strength and increasing
in interest. Justly of her, may it be said,
that Education is her watchword and Wisdom
her pursuit. Then I would say to teachers:
"Act—act in the living present,
Heart within, and God u'er head."

Huntingdon, "Jackson's Hotel," Tuesday, Decemberls
Lewistown,
M=Ml
Dr. Haidmatttreats 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
he 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 oat 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 became they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They wcre.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, 1 also invite consultation, I 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, D,) spepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and bowels. &c.
All diseases of the eye and car. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
