THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. gor fly lainttr. Sorrel. [From Cho Germattovm Telegaph.] MR. FREAS :—The cultivation of much light land, which otherwise might be of great value, is often rendered difficult if not almost impossible, by the tendency it exhibits to produce real sorrel. I have known whole fields to be abandoned simply in consequence of the preponderance of this - pest over more valuable vegetation. Yet this is not the proper course to adopt in such an emergency. Sorrel never finds sustenance, and of course can never grow where there is lime enough in the soil. Land of this kind possesses a sweetness which is not congenial to sorrel, and if takes root, it rarely outlives the first year, and never spreads. By liming lands infested with this weed, or by overcoming their acidity by liberal applications of house ashes, they will become fertile in other pro ductions, even though the sorrel should have monopolised them entirely. Sorrel is not wholly valueless. It may be fed profitably to sheep and horses during winter ; or it may be ground, (the seed) and fed to swine. Yet no farmer will ever think of cultivating it.— When it - will grow—as many contend is some times the case, despite all reasonable efforts to restrain it—it would be well to appropri ate it to some use which will prevent, in some degree, the inevitable loss its growth involves, and for this purpose we know of none more effectual than the above. One thing to - which it may not be improp er to allude is, that lands which have once pro duced a crop of mature sorrel seed—whether that crop be cut for hay or turned in, will not be likely to be purified "in a hurry," by any process whatever, unless it involves an entire and thorough constitutional change of the soil; which lime, and lime only, (perhaps) can completely insure. The seed of this pest is so hard, or rather the shell of it is so indura ted that it will remain on, or far beneath the surface, for years, without injury. Hence lands natural to its production, when once well stocked, with it, though they may be turned out to pasture, or cultivated with the most adroit skill and assiduity, will, on being laid down again, become immediately foul.— Sorrel rarely maintains its appearance or place among cultivated grasses more than two or three seasons, but afterwards re-ap pears in full vigor as soon as the land is bro ken up. Lands common to sorrel are, on many ac counts, the most valuable for arable purpo ses, being light, and remarkably easy to work, and answering admirably all the pur poses usually required of the more ponderous description of soils, and are almost equally productive, whether cultivated in grain, hay, or roots. W. B. P. Burlington Co., N. J., April 30, 1858. Things for the Boys to do. It is spring now, boys, and the time is com ing when a good deal of work must be done. Now some of you must take hold and work like the full grown man all day. If this is your lot, don't whimper nor complain. Be brave, and cheerful, and stick to it. It may seem hard now. But in the end, it will do you no harm, and may do you some good. But most of you will have much time on your hands. Your work will not do as much good, as some other things that you may do. Can you guess what they are ? Now we know you are good at guessing. But perhaps you might guess forty times, and miss every time. So we mention a few of these things. You can put every tool you use back in its place, after wiping it clean and dry. You can shut every gate, and put up every set of bars you pass through, unless you know they are to be kept open. You can do every errand you are sent on, promptly, coming back and reporting to your parents, or employer, as soon as possible. You can do all the chores (little jobs) en trusted to you, faithfully and well. You can Orer to do any little piece of work that some other person would do, if you did not. Such a habit will make you very pop ular at home and. abroad. You can clean your shoes at the door, place your hat and overcoat in their places, and be a pattern of neatness in your own room. You can be good-natured and polite to your equals, and respectful to your superi ors. This is the first lesson. When you have learned this pretty well, we will try to have another ready, which will be worth as much as this.—Ohio Farmer. ROCK OR STONE TURNlP.—Editors COU7I - Gentlemen-1 wish to tell your-numerous readers of a turnip worth raising, to wit, the Rock or Stone Turnip. I raised from ten rods of ground, (one six teenth of an acre,) ninety bushels, weighing sixty pounds per bushels, which I think worth as much to feed cattle, as potatoes.— I have no doubt I can raise 1,500 bushels on an acre of light, warm land, suitably enriched as for corn. I sow the seed in a bed, as for cabbage, and after my ground is well plowed and harrowed, transplant in rows eighteen inches apart, and the plants twelve inches ; but I think eight inches - would be better.— You will find but little trouble in keeping the-weeds out till they cover the ground.— Whole cost not over six cents per bushel— worth from 37i to 50, for the table, and will keep the year round. Sow the seed as soon as the ground is fit in the_spang, and trans plant when largo enough. The turnip -when cut-as-white - And -v-Bry%weet. JrnsoN WAns -Wcatru, - wee .- Winated, -Connecticut. Ashes---Some ways to Use Them as Manure. 1. One excellent way, is to scatter them thinly over the ground, and leave the dress ing to soak in the soil. This is the best mode on meadows that you do not wish to plow. 2. They may be applied in the same way to land which you arc going to plow for corn or potatoes. 3. Liuleached ashes may be applied to corn after it is up, at the rate of a tablespoonful to a hill, partly as a manure, and partly to arrest the ravages of cut-worms. 4. It may be profitably used as a dressing for strawberry-beds in the spring. It should be applied dry, and spaded in. Strawberries love an application of this sort. 5. They may, when concealed, be strewn over crops when growing. Such as grapes, or oats, or other grain. They should be scat tered ry. 6. They may be scattered with the seed of winter grain, and will often thus be of great use. T. They form an excellinat dressing for lands, to be used for fruit trees. They con tain so much of what is needed for the growth of trees, that a generous application of ashes, plowed in deep, will be beneficial. Trees already set out, may be helped by spa ding, in ashes sparingly about their roots. S. Applied to clay soil, they soften it.— Used on sandy soil, they harden it. Scatter ed on sour land, they correct its acidity.— They are quite generally useful.-- Ohio Far mer. TEE Ct - r WORM.—Some twelve years ago, we first printed, from the personal statement of No. 1 farmer of Delaware county, the beneficial results to his crop of corn from an addition, at the usual time of " plastering," of twenty five per cent. of salt—that is to say, to three pecks of plaster he added one peck of salt—apply in the same proportion as is cus tomary with the pure plaster—about a ta blespoonful to a hill—taking care, however, that the mixture does not come in contact with the corn, or it may destroy it. The salt is not only found to be a sure protection adainst the cut worm, but greatly increases the vigor of the plant. CASSVILLE SEMINARY. ONLY el 9 50 PER, QUARTER. THE NEW FACULTY. . N. McN.

They have purchased the entire machinery business here tofore carried on by J. M. Emerson & Co., also the Mont gomery Works at Yonkers, on the Hudson, near this city, and with the experience and facilities combined in its or ganization are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds at more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at any other establishment. The Combination Saw-Mill was patented October, 1356, and is now generally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and most practical, and efficient lumber manufacturing ma chine in the world. A number of them are in successful operation in different sections of the country, Canada, Cuba. and South America, and wherever their merits have been tested they are being adopted by lumber manufactu rers in preference to all other mills. The following letter expresses the general opinion of those who are using the Combination Mill: Mans. ESIERSON & Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that it performs well, and more than meets my expectations. I am well pleased with its performance. I set it up on a small stream that afforded constant water about as thick as my little Enger, which was much more than sufficient to supply the boiler. We are able to cut 3,000 feet of beautiful lumber in 12 hours, with something less than one cord of wood.— It is the very thing we have so much needed in our county for a long time. With a little trouble and expense, we are able to move it from five to ten miles per day, and set it up in the heart of the timber, which saves the great burden of hauling the logs a long distance to the mill. Yours respectfully, JEZSE KERR, Jr., Louisville, Tennessee. The company has purchased Lund's Patent Feed Ar rangement, which is illustrated and described in the Scien tific American for October 24. This adds greatly to the efficiency of the mill. TIM COMBINATION MILL, with all the rocont improvements, and steam power of 15 horses, is capable of sawing from 3,000 to 4,000 feet in 12 hours, and is sold for $1,650. TIIE NEW YORK CIRCULAR SAW-MILL Is manufactured only by this company. It: is of superior contraction, and sold for 25 per cent. less than other mills of no greater capacity. A mill with 36 to 54-inch saw can be sold for $450 to $5OO, and with a 20-horse engine and boiler is sold for $2.200. Stearn Engines and Boilers; Engines of from 1 to 100 horse power; Locomotive, Tabular. Flue and Cylinder Boilers furnished at greatly reduced prices from former quotations.' Drawings, with plans and specifications for buildings and machinery, furnished gratis to our customers. Competent mechanics are sent out to put up and set in operation our machinery, when required.

Stone Mill, for flour, corn meal, and all kinds of feed, which is pronounced by experienced millers, both in this country and Europe, the best mill ever constructed. It will grind more grain in the same time, and with halt the power, of any mill of the same price in the market. We also furnish other styles of Grist-Mills, when requi red. J. M.

We ore enabled to speak of these instruments with some degree of aonfidence, from personal knowledge of their excellent tone and durable quality."—N. Having inspected a logo number of the Horace Waters' Pianos we can speak of their merits, from personal knowl edge, as being of the very best quality."—Christain Intelli gencer. Nothing at the State Fair displayed greater excellence in any department than the Piano-Forte manufactured by Horace Waters, of this city.—Churclunan. The following is taken from the " Christian Inquirer": "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 hest and most thoroughly seasoned 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.v "Mr. Waters has been long established and is favorably known. We speak from experience when we assure our readers that his prices arc below those usually charged for articles in his line."—Jacksonian, N. J. "Your instruments are a sensible improvement upon American Pionos, and an honor to the skilful manufacturer. There is no doubt but they will be appreciated by the pub lic and all admirers of true merit.—Oscar Coniettant. The treble is clear, pure, powerful, and very melodious, the base is deep, rolling, and sonorous: the middlepart, is rich, and sympathetic, and possessing the power of sing ing, i. e. of uniting the sound of each tone, in a degree but rarely achieved."—Henry C. Watson. For power of tone, depthof brass, and brilliancy of tre ble, together with accuracy of touch, they are equal to any make lam acquainted with, and I cordially recommend them to those wishing to purchase.—V. C. Taylor. "Our friends will find at Mr. Waters' store the very best asortment of music and of pianos to be found in the United States, and we urge our southern and western friends to give him a call whenever they go to New York," —Graham's Magazine. " We consider them worthy of special attention, from the resonant and exceedingly musical tone which Mr. Waters has succeeded in attaining."—N. Metsical Wiwict and Times. "There is one which, fur beauty of finish and richness and brilliancy of tone, equals, if it does not excel, any thing of the kind we have even seen. It is from the estab lishment of Horace Waters. Being constructed of the best 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.—Saran molt Republican. Savannah, Ga." Waters' pianos and melodeons challenge comparison with the finest made anywhere in the country."—Home Journal. C. L. Simko, editor of the Kenoeha "Tribune and Tele graph" says, " The piano was received in good order, and is pronounced an excellent instrument by good judges, the tone of it is particularly commended, as is indetsd its external workmanship and finish, compared with its cost." Speaking of the llorace Waters' Pianos and Melodeons at the Crystal Palace the 1' New York Disptach" says : " A number of these pianos and pedal bass organ melode ons, from their great power, and fullness and richness of tone, attract the very general attention and commenda tion of visitors. Waters' " New Scale" is recognized by artists as not only a sensible but important improvement in pianos." The "New York Express" says: "The Itorace Waters' Pianos are pronounced by musical amateurs as a decidedly superior article in all tho requisites of this instrument, and`it is fast superseding those of other manufacturers." The "New York Evening Post" says: "The Horace Waters' Pianos arc 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 (Tenn.) Standard :" "Mr. Waters has long experience in the business, and has gained a repu tation unsurpassed for selling 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. His pianos and melodeons have ob tained great celebrity for their excellent tone and durable quality." Says the "Valley City Advocate:" "We have taken a look at a piano which has just arrived from the celebrated establishment of Horace Waters, and must say that for tone and beauty of finish, it surpasses any we over saw for the price." Horace Waters, Piano-Fortes are of full, rich, and even tone, and powerful.—New York Musical Review. "They are fully equal to any ofi,:the kind I have seen in the United States, and far superior to those of a similar make I saw in England."—Geo. Wizshbourne Morgan. "I take great pleasure in announcing them instruments of a superior quality, both in tone and touch."—August 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 Wa ters, whose pianos are always popular."—Tinzcs and Mes senger. "The Ilorace Waters' Pianos now on exhibition at the Fair, have attracted a surprising degree of attention; they are unrivalled by any other instrument, in perfect quality of tone and pozver."—Courier. , •The Illorace Waters' Pianos are among the most cele 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 Baker. 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, as regards their outward elegance, and quality of tone and power." va,.P. DRUNKER is agent for the sale of these Pianos, for Huntingdon county. He will attend to the unpacking and putting up of them, and keeping them in tune, for a year, free of charge.

TMPROVED PATENT ASPHALTIC _t ROOFING FELT—A CHEAP, DURABLE AND PER- Ft.CTLY WATERPROOF ROOFING—Frau; Timm CE.vrs PER SQUARE FOOT. 11'JI.1.EWIS. Huntingdon, Agent for Huntingdon county. This improved PATENT FELT makes a CHEAP, DERARLESUId PERFECTLY WATERPROOF ROOFING, for CHURCHES, CHAPELS, .PUIIIIC HALLS, RAILROAD STATIONS, HOUSES, COTTAGES, VER ANDAHS. FARM BUILDINGS, CATTLE anti SHEEP SHEDS, and every other description of BUILDINGS, in lieu of Tin, Zinc, Shingles, Tiles, 'Thatch, ,t - c. It costs only a fraction of a Tin or Shingle Roof and is more durable, as it neither CORRODES, CRACKS nor LEARS. It is made of the strongest and most durable materials, awl saturated with the hest of Asphalte. tis made up in Rolls, 25 yards long, 32 inches wide, and can be easily applied by any unpracticed person : with a few tacks. It is invaluable for LINING the WALLS of WOODEN HOUSES, GRANARIES, 13.tinsts, &c., as rats or other vermin and insects will not touch it. IT IS IMPERVIOUS TO WET, and being a NOS-CONDUCTOR, counteracts the heat of Stmuirt and the cold of WINTER, equalizing the temperature - within every building 'Valero it is used. To the Agriculturist, it makes a CHEAP and EFFECTUAL ROOFING, for FAEM RITIUDINGS and SuEns; a COVERING for CORN and 'Mr Melts, also a DEFENCE for Sheep during snow, and in the Yard as a loose covering for Turnips and other Fodder in 'Winter—the use of this FELT proves a great annual saving to the Farmer. It is suitable to every climate. It is light and portable, being in Rolls, and not liable to damage in transportation. When used UNDER. TIN or other ROOFING, it forms a smooth body for the metal to lie tightly on, Thereby the Tin wears much longer, not corroding beneath ; at the same Tillile DEADENING SOUND. Also being a NON-CONDUCTOR, it keeps the rrrsr. rooms coot, in Summer, and being W.vrEr.. moor, prevents the ltoof front LEAKING. August 19, 1857. GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS!! DR. GUSTAV LIN NARD'S Taste Restorative Troches, tlle Great Substitute for Tobacco. It is a well known and incontrovertable fact that the use of Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the most se vere MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISORDERS to which the race of man is subject, as careful analysis and long and painful experience have clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic and poisonous properties most dangerous in their effects, which by entering into the blood derange the functions and operations of the Heart, causing many to suppose that organ to be seriously deceased. TOBACCO affects also the entire nervous system, mani festing itself—as all who have used the noxious weed will bear testimony—in Lassitude, Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia, and many other disorders of a similar character. TIIE TASTE RESTORATIVE TROCHES are designed to counteract these baneful influences, and have proved com pletely successful in a multitude of cases, and wherever used. Doing harmless in themselves they exert a benefi cial effect upon the entire system, restoring the taste which has become vitiated or destroyed by great indulgence, com pletely removing the irritation and accompanying tickling sensation of the Throat—which are always consequent upon abstaining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving a healthy tone to Stomach, invigorate the whole system. Persons who are irretrievably undermining their con stitutions and shortening their lives, should use these Troches immediately and throw off the injurious and un pleasant habit of Tobacco Chewing. These Troches or Lozenges aro put up in a convenient and portable form at the low price of 50 Cents per Box.— A liberal discount to the Trade. - - Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom all orders should be addressed.
