The Garden---No. 1.
[Tor the Ilantingdou Globe.]
Gardening is one of the most attractive em
ployments. It is a great pleasure after plant
ing and sowing the seeds, and waiting hope
fully their germination to watch the increas
ing development of plants and flowers until
we are rewarded for our care and labor in
the enjoyments of their fruits and bloom.—
What fruits and vegetables are more deli
cious than those of our own production ?
What plants and flowers are more beautiful
than those of our own culture ? To cultivate
a grape tine, from which in a few years we
may gather bushels of fruit, requires no more
care or labor, and takes up no more ground
than does a hill of corn. And nothing tends
more to beautify and ernhelish our homes
than the'flowers that bloom in our yards and
gardens, and the vines that encircle our ar
bors and trellises.
In our latitude, spring work is in order
this month, and manuring, spading and plant
ing, may be commenced, when the weather
will admit - of it and the ground is sufficiently
dry. The rubbish, if any has been left since
last fall to litter up the garden, should be
raked up and burned. Where boards are
used around the sides of beds, they should
be straightened and firmly fastened to their
places, and low, wet places drained. If the
weather promises to be mild, a great many
things can be done to facilitate the work
when warm weather has fully set in. Grape
vines should have been pruned before this
time. It is best to do it in the fall. Uncov
er any vines of the tender hinds, which have
been buried in the fall, and fork in a good
dressing of manure. The ground should be
well drained about the vines, and made dry
and light. Roots and cuttings should now be
planted. Cuttings of currants and gooseber
ries should now be put in, and rooted plants
set ont.
A portion of peas, windsor beans, lettuce
radishes and 'onions for early use, may now
be put in. Cabbage seed may be sowed.—
Asparagus beds may be uncovered, and a
top dressing of manure and salt given them.
Rake off the winter covering of strawberries
and top dress with fine well rotted manure.
Procure and sow seeds of the winter cherry,
(Physalis,) they make excellent preserves,
and are highly recommended for pies, and
can be kept all winter. A hot bed is a very
convenient appendage to every garden, large
enough to raise vegetables for a. family.—
Lettuce, cabbage, cauliflowers, radishes, cu
cumbers, melons and tomatoes may be had
from four to"six weeks earlier than usual by
taking a little time to do this work at a season,
which can be easily spared from other occu
pations:, Peppers, egg plants, & - e., which are
always killed by the early frosts.when they
are in full bearing, would produce a good crop
if started in a hot bed and transplanted into
the open ground a little after the first of
May. A hot bed eight or ten feet long and
three or four feet wide, would be amply suffi
cient for a family.
In the floral department not much can be
done this month, farther than clearing up
beds and trimming up borders. Rose. and
other bushes can be thinned out, and all old
and dead branches cut away. Beds of tu
leps, hyacinths and other hardy bulbous roots
should now be raked up and forked over so
that they may receive the genial influences
of the heat and light of the sun. Seeds of
hardy annuals for early bloom may now be
sown, and roots of hardy perrennials may be
divided and replanted. Bulbous roots should
not be taken up until two or three weeks
after they are done blooming. Early in
autumn is the best time for transplanting
them.
The cultivation of flowers is an employ
ment adapted to every grade, the high and
the low, the rich and the poor. The pleas
ing and natural lesson which they convey is
instructive to the most intelligent and refined,
as well as to those of more humble capacities
and acquirements. Who does not love flow
ers ? What man is to be pitied who can de
rive no qualification from their gratifica
tion ? Solomon thought it not beneath his
dignity to make himself acquainted with the
structure and nature of the vegetable king
dom, " from the sedar of Lebanon to the hy
sops on the wall." Kings and Emperors
have -been delighted with flowers, and the
highest dignitary that ever graced our earth
called the attention of his followers to the
beauty of flowers when he said, "Consider
the lilies of the field, how they grow, they
toil not, neither do they spin, and yet, I say
unto you, that Solomon in all his glory, was
not arrayed like one of these.
" It has been said by travelers that they
could distinguish a pure minded and more in
telligent family, from the appearance of the
house and grounds. The house was sur
sounded with flowers—the windows displayed'
them—vines were twined with care and taste
over the dwelling. Another presented a dif
ferent spectacle ; weeds and briers were
allowed to hold dominion, and Solomon's pic
ture of the garden of the sluggard is exactly
verified."
" Who can forget the vine planted by his
mother's own -hand when he was a little
child." And there too are the flowers of va
ried hues, and the lilac and honey-suckle,
and the rose bush planted by the hands of a
sister. 01 who can recur to those scenes of
his childhood's home without gratifying the
holiest emotions of his nature. Scenes that
are gone never to return, among the fondest
recollections of which, mingle the cultivation
of flowers ? M.
To PREVENT CONVULSIONS.—The following
curious mode of preventing a convulsion, com
monly called "a fit," is given in the Charles
ton Medical Journal and Review in a long ar
ticle on the Treatment of Epilepsy, by Win.
M. Cornell, M. D., of Boston :
"I have employed various means to ward
of an epileptic attack for the time being.—
Stretching the muscles powerfully will gen
erally prevent an attack; for example, when
the aura commences in the great toe, or in
the leg, strong traction or elongating the toe,
or stretching the muscles of the leg, will car
ry the patient over the threatened attack for
the time ; or, when the patient has premoni
tory symptoms of an attack, opening the jaws
as widely as can be done, and placing some
hard substance between the teeth, to keep
the mouth open, will have the desired effect.
I have had one patient who by taking my ad
vice, carried a piece of iron with him for a
year, fitted for the purpose of expanding the
jaws to their utmost capacity, and keeping
them thus expanded. When ho has felt what
he calls the "little spasms;" which have usu
ally been the precursors of the great ones, or
the "fits," he has immediately drawn from
his pocket the iron wedge, opened his mouth
to the utmost width, and placed the wedge
between his teeth. He then becomes quiet,
goes about his business, or gives himself no
further trouble about the convulsions, and
has none."

The State Convention.
The Lock Haven Democrat, edited by Mr.
Diffenbough, Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth, speaking of the nominees of the
late Convention, says
" The Democratic candidates now in the
field are in every respect unexceptionable,
and neither of them approve the unjust and
violent policy of the Convention that nomi
nated them."

make the election of our nominees possible.
Another Democratic State Convention.
A call for another Democratic State Con
vention, numerously signed, by leading Dem
ocrats of the State, has been issued. The fol
lowing is the call :
The Democratic citizens of Pennsylvania are invited to
assemble in State Convention at Harrisburg. on Wednes
day, the 13th day of April, 1859, to consult upon the pro
priety of adopting measures to vindicate the name, fame.
and principles of the Democratic party, outraged and in
sulted by a Convention assoinbled at the State Capitol on
the 16th of March :
To resist the high-handed attempt of the Federal Ad
ministration to dictate political creeds of the people;
To protest against the war of a consolidated Federal des
potism upon stat 4 sovereignty and State rights ;
To re-n4sert the great principle of Popular Sovereignty
and non-intervention, as lvell in the Territories as in the
States—non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the
Territories, and non-intervention by the Federal Execu
tive with the franchises of the people of the States;
To re-endorse the old-fitshioned creed of the Democratic
party, repudiated and trampled under foot by men claim
ing, to represent the party ;
And, finally, to proclaim our unfaltering confidence in
William P. Packer, Governor of Pennsylvania, who has
been assailed and proscribed 'because he refused, at the
bidding of Federal dictation, to baray the trust, desert
the principles, and falsify the pledges of the Union States
Rights Democracy.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
BALTIMORE, Md., March 7, 1859.
Ma. EDITOR :--in my last letter I gave you a
short account of my first day in this pleasant
City. Oa Sunday morning, I made my way
to the Jefferson street M. E. Church, to visit
the Sunday School. In this school I found
between three and four hundred interesting
pupils. The officers of the school being
rather indulgent, there is not the prevailing
good order, which I have seen in many of
our own Sunday Schools. After the- school
was closed, we ascended to the upper part of
the church and heard Rev. 3. W. Cleaver
preach a sermon from Ileb. 12th chap. Ist v.,
to an attentive congregation. In the after
noon I bad the pleasure of addressing the
above mentioned Sabbath School, and also
visited a Mission School in the same part of
the City. I was much pleased at the respect
paid to the Sabbath in Baltimore. The Sab
bath I spent in the City was one of those
bright sunny days which one reght think
March had stolen from May.
reins had granted a truce of a day in or
der to find time to replenish his bellows for
a fresh blow, and Sol taking advantage of
the Storm King's absence, came forth in his
beauty and strength to tell of coming Spring.
The church bells pealed forth their cheerful
notes, calling the people up to Zion's hill,
and every heart seemed to respond, " A day
in thy court Vis better than a thousand."—
Not denying that there is much wickedness in
every City, justice compels me to say, that I
witnessed less loafing about the streets during
the Sunday I was in Baltimore, than is gen
erally to be seen in our small towns. On
Monday we went to the western part of the
City and dined with Dr. C. C. Richardson.—
The Doctor is one of nature's noble men, and
a comment on the southern hospitality.
In the afternoon, friend Cleaver and self,
took the cars on the Baltimore S.: Ohio Rail
road, for the Relery house, 9 miles from Bal
timore.
I had almost forgotten an incident that
transpired at the depot, previous to starting.
It seems that a car load of the descendants
of Ham, were taking leave of their sable
companions, and were about starting on a
fishing tour, of a couple of months, dawn
along the Chesapeake bay. Their friends,
including wives, children, sweat-hearts, &c.,
had accompanied them to the cars, and to a
northerner the scene was rich beyond de
scription. Some were singing darkey melo
dies, others crying, and still others showing
their ivory, as they went off in one of those
yah, yah, yabs, that make a darkey shake his
marrow bones " fit too kill." All at once the
iron horse gave a scream, the darkies yelled,
the conductor shouted " all aboard."—we set-*
tied back in our seats, and away we went.—
We soon reached our getting-off place, and
started on a walk of two miles, to visit my
friend's old charge, at the " Baltimore Co.
Manual labor school." Here we were kind
ly received and entertained by Mr. Charles
Counselman, the Superintendent of the school.
The school is under the control of a board of
managers who take under their care orphan
bays, who are in want, and • clothe, fetid- and
educate them ; requiring them to work on
the farm during partuf the day.
Many of the boys they have raised now
occupy important positions in life ; others
are now securing that mental and moral
training calculated to bring out manly prin
ciples; and many of them will, in all proba
bility, become useful wheels in the great
machinery of human progress.
WEST Towxstar, March 25,1850
MR. Erma :—As great improvement has been made in
the common schools, in various parts of our county during
the past few years, I thought it not amiss to make a
few remarks in reference to the Juniata School, (near
Neff's mills.) Examinations and an Exhibition was held
there during the 25th and 26th inst., decidedly the most
creditable to teacher and pupils, and most interesting t°
spectators of any that has been held in this section of the
country. The interest increased with the progress of the
exercises, and on the last night of the Exhibition, the
commodious house was filled early, to its utmost capacity,
and many were obliged to retire, not being able to gain
admittance. The best of order prevailed (luring the ex
ercises. - Parents especially, were much delighted with the
literary improvement of their children.
Wm. S. Davis, teacher, will start in a few days for the
Normal Institute, Lancaster co,, with the good wishes of
the entire cotn mutt it y. JUNIATA.
Tribute to the Memory of Dr. Lorain
At a meeting of the members of the Medicinal Profes
sion of Clearfield county. held March 9, 1859, at the office
of Dr. It. V. Wilson, in the Borough of Clearfield, there
were present, Drs. M. Wood, It. V. Wilson, D. 0. Crouch,
IL P. Thompson, G. F. Hoop, George Wilson and J. G.
Hartswick.
The object of the meeting being stated, it was organized
as follows : Dr. It. V. Wilson in the chair, and D. 0. Crouch
Secretary.
On motion the following was adopted as the sentiment
of the meeting :
Wilma:As, Almighty God has been pleased to remove
from our midst, our friend and brother, HENRY Lonsnl,
M. Dove deem it our duty to offer this tribute to the
memory and character of the deceased.
Professional eminence crowned the life and labors of
the late Dr. Lorain. Enjoying in the outset, as a student
of medicine, distinguished advantages, he laid the founda
tion of what proved afterwards to be a long, useful, and
honorable career. Thirty-five years of professional toil
and devotion, secured him a name and place high up in
the roll of medical men. As the brother-in-law and pupil
of the late Prof. Dewees, of the University of Pennsylvania,
he sat at the feet of a great medical Ganialiel.
Most men in most vocations, have individuality. Dr.
'Lorain was distinguished by marked traits admirable in
his profession. To be sent for—to be called in, was for
Wm. to go at once. Nothing delayed or prevented him.—
Dispatch was not only the word, but the act. Quick to
decide, and generally prompt to execute, he would go,
prescribe, and possibly be half-way back, before many a
tardy practitioner would be well on the way. lie accom
plished a great deal, in a short time. Delay or inattention
was never laid to his charge. The summons to the bed
side of the poor was obeyed with as much alacrity, as that
to the more favored of fortune—and their grateful teargbe
dew his memory. Though his field of labor was wide and
rough, he never hesitated. His habit walk energy ; and
so it continued to be until his bodily infirmities began to
bear upon him. In these respects, his example is valua
ble and instructive. Let his juniors and survivors in the
profession follow his example.
The above testimony to the merits of a venerable and
eminent man, is heartily felt, and it is believed, truthful
ly expressed—and it is due to ourselves that we publicly
acknowledge the worth of the deceased. It is due, and
justly, to his memory and family circle—his sons and
daughters and kindred well deserve it at our bands; There
fore it is
Resolved, That we acknowledge devoutly the hand of
God in this dispensation.
Resolved, That in the proceeding act, we discharge a
personal, social, and moral duty.
Resolved, That while, as a physician, his practical abili
ty and judgment secured a deservedly high position, his
courtesy awl candor won for him the esteem and confi
dence of alfaris associates.
Resolved, That as a man, we bear testimony to his in
tegrity in all his relations to the community in which he
lieolued, That while we deplore his death, and feel for
his afflicted family the deepest sympathy, we rejoice in
the hope that ho is in the enjoyment of a blessed immor
tality.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be presented
to the family of the deceased, and that it be sent to the
press for publication. R. V. WaSoN, Prest.
D. 0. Crouch, Secretary.
At a special communication of Clearfield Lodge No. 314
A. Y. M., held in Clearfield, March Bth, 1859, Bros. It. J.
Wallace, Alex'r. McLeod and John McGaughey were ap
pointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the
feelings of the members of the Lodge upon the death of
Bro. Henry Lorain, M. D., who submitted the following
Report, which was adopted;—
WHEREAS, The Supreme Architect of the Universe bath
seen fit to call our brother workman, HENRY LORAIN, from
the labors of Earth, for the first time in the history of this
Lodge severing one of the links in our golden chain of
brotherhood, Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Lorain, we are called
upon to mourn the extinguishment of one of the bright
lights of our fraternity, which leaves a void in our little
band that cannot be re-filled.
Resolved, That while wo have cause to lament the death
of the Brother by whose side we have been accustomed to
sit in our lodge-room, we bow with submission to the will
of "Him who doeth all things well," the blow being sof
tened by the remembrance of the worth of the deceased,
and his attachment to our fraternity.
Resolved, That we reverence the memory of the dead,
and desire to mingle our tributes, with the funeral offer
ings which others will lay upon his grave. An afflicted
family sob over, and a grateful people, around whose beds
of sickness he has ministered for more than one-third of a
century, will be stirred with sorrow, for "Earth has never
pillowed upon her bosom a man More devoted in his pro
fession, nor our fraternity ever lodged one more attached
to the principles of Masonry.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions under the
seal of the Lodge, be presented to the family of the de
ceased Brother. It. J. WALLACE,

Mob Law at Greensburg—Three Hoas-
es Torn Down--Intense Excitement
The unusually quiet borough of Greensburg
was the scene of a Most extraordinary affair
last night. It appears that a colored man
named Ben Ware, was suspected of being
more intimate with a white woman than the
law allows, and the feeling of the people be
ing decidedly anti-amalgamation, they resol
ved to deal summarily with him and punish
the fellow a/a Judge Lynch. Full of this
determination,
and, perhaps, of whisky, but
this makes no difference, as Greensburg whis
ky "ain't hard to take," and "never hurts no
body," a party resolved last night to clean
"Ben" out. Meeting at a certain point they
started for his house ,
_ but recollecting on the
way, that Glibert Sterling, another man of
color, had been accused of a like offence, they
repaired to his house first, and, will our read
ers believe it, levelled it to the ground.—
Ware's tenement was next pulled down, and,
subsequently, a fine two story house belong
ing to D. Abercrombie, also colored, was re
duced to a heap of ruins. The number en
gaged in this high handed outrage, is esti
mated between thirty and forty. Many of
them were men of standing and respectabili
ty, and it surprises us that their names should
be coupled with such a transaction. The
men may have transgressed. They may have
violated the laws of God and the la nd, but sure
ly there was another way of punishing them
than that adopted. The law was open for re
dress of any wrongs they might have inflicted
on individuals or society, and to it rather than
to a self constituted band of "Regulators,"
their punishment should have been left.—
Pittsburgh Chronicle of Thursday.
Tn Salem (Mass.) Register says that
a domestic in the kitchen of a wealthy man
in a neighboring town lost her father, and
the expense of the burial fell on the daugh
ter. Her employer owed her, $lO, and at
her request he paid her, and advanced her
$l5 more ; and on a subsequent settlement
charged her interest on the $l5, for fifteen
weeks. She was at work at $1 per week.—

Every Number of Harper's Magazine contains from
30 to 50 pages—and from one-third to one-half more read
ing—than any other in the country.
A.IIPER'S MAGAZINE.
The Publisher's believe that the Seventeen Vol
umes
of HARPER'S MAGAZINE now issued contain a larger ;.
amount of valuable and attractive reading than will be I
found in any other Periodical of the day. The best Serial
Tales of the foremost Novelists of the time: LEVER'S
"Maurice Tierney," BMW= LYTTON'S " My Novel," Ines
nx's "Bleak House" and "Little Dorrit," THACE.ERAT'S
"Newcomes" 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 CHARLES READS '
COLLINS, Mrs. ()ASKEW ' MISS MULOCII, and other f,
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
sine 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 fur the past as the best guarantee for its future L 4
claims upon the patronage of the American public.
