Aa..- A heavy supply of Broad Top Coal

April. Superintendent Wierman is pushing
the repairs and improvements to completion
as rapidly as possible.
r'3 On Saturday night last, the "Excel
sior Baud" discoursed some of their delight
ful music to our - citizens. The night was
calm and clear, not a cloud to be seen on the
horizon, and as they brought forth their soul
stirring strains, we were lost in meditation of
the thought, that we could listen to such mu
sic fur an age. Long may they wave.
.)30.- In our last we referred briefly to the
new dwelling just finished by Dr. R. A. Mil
ler. Since then we have been through the
house, and speak from the 1»ok when we say
it is just the house we would build or buy
if all who are in arrears to us would call and
square up. It is worth the trouble of any
one intending to build, to call and examine
the arrangements of the Doctor's house.
MANAGEMENT OF CLIILDREN.—It is a popu
lar belief with mothers, that washing young
children daily, in cold water, makes them
hardy. This is a grave mistake ; the feeble
circulation of - a child requires the aid and as
sistance of warm water and warm clothing.
The greatest medical man who ever lived—
John Hunter—recommended three rules for
the management of children, and they express
the substance of a volume. " Give them
'plenty of milk, plenty of sleep, and plenty
of flannel."
"flow Mucu SHE IS BE LOVE H." —Such
were the words that escaped the lips of a
woman in speaking of another woman yes
terday. Well, the secret of her being so is,
that she drops sweet words and pleasant
smiles as she passes along; site lats a kind
word of sympathy for every person she tucets
in trouble, and a disposition to help them
out of difficulty ; she takes the friendless ley
the hand, sympathizes with those in affliction,
and everywhere diffuses around her sunshine
and joy. Dr. Dodridge one day a,lted leis
little girl why it - ivas that everybody Imed
her. "I know not," she replied, "uhlcss it
is that I love everybody." She was truly a
little philosopher.
111AB:cu.—The old adage, "that March
comes in like a lion," did not prove coma
this time, but as the adage don't end there,
we expect to see it go out "like a lion," as it
"came in like a lamb." So far however, (the
Bth,) it has followed up the gentleness of a
lamb admirably. Sunday last, was as fine a
spring day as we ever saw. The genial rays
of old Sol shone forth in all its splendor and
cheerfulness, and people could be seen con
gregated on almost every street corner, avail
ing themselves of the first coming of the first
real spring day. However. we anticipate
rough weatilikr yet, before March leaves us,
or else we will feel inclined to doubt the
truth of wise sayings of the wise prophets of
the days of old.
BLOCKADING THE CROSSINGS.—We have a
word to say to our farmers and others, who
come to town with horses, wagons, &c. Icre
have observed upon several occasions, the
different crossings of our streets blockaded
in such a manner, as to compel pedestrians to
wade through the mud up to their knees, in
order to get round the wagon, or whatever it
is. People, no doubt, when driving on to
the crossing, never think of any person want
ing to cross there. We do assure them, that
it is no pleasant job, to wade across the streets
just at this time, especially for the ladies, as
we observed one doing yesterday, on ac
count of the crossing being occupied by a
four-horse wagon. We trust our farmers and
others will be more thoughtful hereafter, as
the fine for so doing is considerable, consider
ing these hard times.
STATE LUNATIC 'HOSPITAL REPORT.-WC
have before us the Eighth Annual Report of
this State Institution, located near Harris
burg. The entire number of patients since
its organization has been males, 622 ; fe
males 427. Total, 1049. Admitted during
the year 1858, 151; discharged 134; leaving
267 at present ; supported by friends, 119 ;
by public authority, 148. Seven convicts
who had become insane in penitentiaries
have .been admitted in 185 S. The trustees
are not willing to continue to receive this
class of patients. The following table, we
suppose, indicates that matrimony at least,-
does not tend to insanity:

LIT WITH GAs.--The streets of our borough
were lit up for the first time, on Friday night
last, With Gas. The bright illumination
which the gas throws forth, enables the pe
destrian to get along with much less trouble
and without getting swamped in the mud,
which is so plentifully strewn in the streets
and along the sidewalks, especially at this
time of the year. This is quite an improve
ment; and after the others are erected and in
full blast, persons can then see where they
are going after nightfall, and perhaps tend to
quell some of the rowdyism which is so prev
alent on our streets at night. 1111 praise to
our borough "daddys " for this improvement.
May they never stop until they have every
deficiency remedied that is needed in our
borough, is our wish. Go on pappys,
give you praise for all such like doings. Who
says ours is a one-horse town ? Eli l Our
Hollidaysburg friends are not so very much
ahead of us, that's so. We'll beat you up
there all hollow, in a few more years.
-VI L JP- Being rather " hard up" for items,
we, the other day, employed a greeny to hunt
an item or two fur us. The following is his
report :
"I started down town, as you are aware,
to get an item or two for your paper—the
Globe. On my way, I met two yeatlemen, of
rather fine qualities fur pugilism, so I tried
to get them to fight aww•hile fur me, but they
toll me 'it wouldn't pay.' I then observed
some dogs in the street amusing themselves
at play. I called them to me, and endeavor
ed to - coax them to fight, (Mr. Editor, this
11-:l`i all fur the purpose of getting an item
fur your paper,) but when I attempted to urge
them on, they would wag their tails, and look
up into my face with a kind of a knowing
smile, as much as to say, "you are one of
thot-e newspaper reporters, and want to put
me in the papers—l won't fight." Failing
at this, I next encountered one of cur well
known "plugs," and wanted to hire him to
rid) somebody's hen roost, but he informed
1110 that lie had stolen the last chickens he
knew of, the night before. At this point,
beeame. enraged, and resolved I would either
find an item for your paper, or resign my
post as reporter forever. I hunted and bun
ted, but to no purpose. I could not get one
single paragraph, and becoming discouraged,
I thought I would go and take a " nip" to
keep up my spirits, but:, Mr. Editor, I took
one too many, and in your last issue, I ob
served a notice of a certain young man who
had been found lying in the gutter drunk,
but for the respect you hfld for him, you sup
pressed. his nt:me. Now, Mr. Editor, that
was all your fault, for I was always under
the impression that it is fashionable for news
paper reporters to get " tight." But to my
story. I need hardly tell you that I couldn't
find a solitary item, and I herewith tender
you my resignation as local reporter of your
paper, and I solemnly vow I'll never enter
into the business again. Just here, Mr. Ed
itor, I would remind you never to employ an
innocent young man like me again, to "hog
up" items for your paper, as reporters are
looked upon as suspicious characters, and I
narrowly escaped getting into the hands of
the police. Yours Resignedly,

YOUNG MEN AND LATE HOURS.—There is a
great deal of truth in the remark of a cotem
porary,
that one of the most deleterious in
fluences brought to bear against the strength
and vigor of American youths, is the prac
tice of keeping late hours. The simple fact
of a young man keeping late hours is not in
itself of so much import, though bad enough,
but when all is taken into account, the dis
sipation, and the long string of incidentals
connected with leading such a life, it will
readily be understood how keeping late hours
is calculated to reduce the vigor and strength
of our youths, both in body and in mind.
We will take as an instance, the young man
who has just broken loose from his mother's
apron strings, as it is called. He goes into
company with men much his seniors, and
every night, though against his inclinations
at first, he is led step by step into practices
at which his pure mind revolted but a few
short months before, and which he then
thought it impossible that he could ever be
induced to take part in. But, imperceptibly,
he becomes familiar with them, until at last
he first takes part and then delights in them
as much as his companions; and as not un
frequently happens, becomes the leader of
them all—and the first intimation that his
mother receives of the change that has come
over him is, that he comes home in the "small
hours" of the night, a roaring drunkard !
Such is almost invariably the result of keep-
Daring Feat at Niagara—Crossing on
The Chicago -Press has an account of a
Yankee adventurer, named Andrew Greenleaf,
crossing Niagara river between Goat Island
and the Falls on stilts, on the 12th ult. for a
bet of $lOOO, made with a Southerner. ult.,
(or Morulli, as he calls himself, for he
passes for an Italian, and is a "showman,")
had with him a pair of stilts about twelve
feet long, made of wrought iron, flat, sharp
edged and pointed—shaped in fact almost
precisely like a double edged dagger. These
were firmly lashed to his legs, and he walked
towards the terrible river with a confident
smile. The morning was clear and cold, but
he was attired very lightly in a dress not un
like that usually worn by professional gym
nasts. At ten minutes past seven he stepped
into the water, which in another moment was
boiling, gurgling, and rushing beneath his
feet. The boldest of the lookers-on held his
breath in suspense, as the daring man rece
ded from the shore. lle alone seemed un
moved, and passed on, slowly and carefully,
avoiding the larger rocks which were made
apparent by the eddying current. His steps
at first were very short and carefully made,
but afterwards became holder and longer.—
The stilts of course were so placed that the
current struck only against their sharp edge,
and produced but little effect, but the danger
of sunken rocks and the conviction that a sin
gle false step would send him to death, pro
duced a feeling which was horribly painful.
Once or twice he seemed to lose his balance,
and a sickening shudder ran through each of
the beholders. Recovering himself he still
kept on—still receded, until to our straining
eyes he could scarcely be distinguished from
the foaming waters.
The middle of the river was attained at
last, hours seemed to have fled, but it was
barely seventeen minutes since he•left the
shore.
As be approached the deepest and most
dangerous part of his route, the suspense be
came more fearfully intense. No word was
spoken except that one man offered another
five dollars for a moments use of his lorgnette,
which offer passed unheeded. Just as Mo
relli reached the swiftest and deepest portion
of the current, he seemed to totter—sink—he
threw up his arm—l closed my eyes. Open
ing them a moment after, I saw that he was
still standing. A few moments more, and he
had reached the Canadian bank—he was safe,
and fell exhausted into the arms of two men
who were waiting to receive him.
At this hour (3 P. M.) he was nearly re
covered, and though still in bed, receives the
con-rratulations of dozens of visitors who
came pouring in. He left the American
shore 000 feet above the fall, and came out
about 1,000 feet above the Canadian. The
money has already been banded over to him,
and all will agree that it was fairly won.—
His generous opponent is able to afford his
loss, and speaks in praise of Morelli more en
thusiastically than any.
A private letter gives some interesting in
formation in regard to silver mines in Arizo
na. A company got up to work an old Mexi
can mine, have been building houses, and
have done something toward clearing out the
shafts. Another company, started at Cincin
nati, have purchased a large tract of land,
covering several mines, and are now working
a new vein, which is said to be the richest
known mine in the world. They have found
specimens near the surface that yield 53 per
cent. or $26,000 per ton of that which has
been melted. They are getting up extensive
amalgamation works with which they expect
to turn out at least, $3,000 per day. The
company is incorporated, and has a capital
of two millions, but have sold no more stock
than is necessary to raise money for the work.
The company now employ onehundred hands,
mainly Mexicans Peons. It is said that
there is no end to the amount of silver there,
but that there is a scarcity of water to run
the machinery. The old mines were worked
over a hundred years ago by Spaniards, but
they were driven off by the Apache Indians
about thirty years ago, since which the mines
have not been opened. There is no danger
from the Indians now, although they occa
sionally steal cattle.
AN AWKWARD Fix.—The Brookville (Pa.)
Jqffi!rsonian, of the 10th ult., says that a
German, named Garb, while out hunting in
Clearfield
. county came across a bear trap,
and having never seen one befcre, he entered
for the purpose of examining it, but unfortu
nately touched the trigger, and was shut up.
In this predicamant he remained two days,
nearly dead from hunger and cold, when the
man who set the trap came to examine it,
and found that, instead of a bear, he had
caught a man.
EX-REPORTER."
ing late hours; and though our youths may
think it manly to smoke and drink like their
seniors, they should beware, and remember
that it is the first step that has ever led to
crime and all its dreadful consequences; and
that one of the greatest, if not the greatest,
mistake that they can make, is to keep late
hours. "Early to bed and early to rise," is
as -rood a motto now as when it was first ut
tered, and if it does not always make men
".wealthy and wise," it does better—it pre
serves their innocence, their constitution, and
keeps them free from sin and its train of evil
consequences.

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
The Publisher's believe that the Seventeen Vol
umes of HAI:PI:V:S MAGNZINE now issued contain a larger
amount of valuable and attractive reading than will be
found in any other Periodical of the day. The best Serial
Tales of the foremost Novelists of the time: LEVEE'S
"Maurice Tienmy," BUMPER LYTTON'S "My Novel," DECK
EN'S "Bleak Douse" and "Little Dorrit," TILICEERAY'S
"NeweineS" and " Virginians," have successively appear
ed in the Magazine simultaneously with their publication
in England. The best Tales and Sketches from the For
eign Magazines have been carefully selected, and original
contributions have been furnished by CII.tULES Mune,
WILNIE COLLINS, Mrs. GASEELL, Miss Mtmocit, and other
prominent English writers.
The larger portion of the 'Magazine has, however, been
devoted to articles upon American topics, furnished by
American writers. Contributions have been welcomed
from every section of the country ; and in deciding upon
their acceptance the Editors have aimed to be governed
'solely by the intrinsic merits of the articles, irrespective
of their authorship. Care has been taken that the Maga
zine should never become the organ of any local clique in
literature, or of any sectional party in politics.
At no period since the commencement of the Magazine
have its literary and artistic resources been more ample
and varied; and the Publisher's refer to the contents of the
Periodical for the past as the best guarantee for its future
claims upon the patronage of the American public.

the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they llem,
Fell, Gather, and Stitch in a superior style, finishing- each
seam by their own operation, without recourse to the
hand-needle. as is required by other machines. They will

either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
