chants have the best and. cheapest goods, and
if they will take the advise of one who is making

- Mir On Saturday last, we were shown by
our young friend, Mr. James Green, a beau
tiful statue of little Samuel, which was got
ten up by him. It is a beautiful piece of
workmanship, and he deserves great credit
for his skill as a good workman. It can be
seen at Carmon's store. We are pleased to
know that Huntingdon can and does turn out
about as good mechanics as any place we
know of, and Mr. Green is about as good a
marble cutter as can be found- anywhere.

" A FEW LINES."
BY COMM SOLIN.
The rosy morn, dear one, so fresh and bright
Dispels the darkness of a mournful night.
And makes me feel, yea even Whilst I write,
That thou art near. -
But still, alas, a pain comes o'er my heart,
('Tis such as lovers feel when first they part)
And I am made unwillingly to start,
And yet to fear.
But thou wilt blame not! The morning's sun
With all its brightness sometimes is o'erruu
With low'ring clouds, and brightness just begun
Doth soon decay.
The heart too in its glow is ofttimes crusled,
And noisy joyousness as often busied,
When sadness o'er flee soul bath madly rush'd
To bold its away.
But doubt me not, dear one, 'tis vain to fear,
Yea, oven think of,me as though I'm near
And 'whispering to then fondly, whilst a tear
Is made to start,
I lore thee still, and long to greet the day
When joyously rzi hie myself away
To'clasp thee fondly, and to hear thee say,
IC() more we'll pare!
March, A. D. 1859
Coucu's MILL.--.'his property has been
purchased by our townsman, Mr. Henry
Cornpropst, who will take possession and
commence operations on the Ist of April.—
We regret to lose him as a citizen of the an
cient borough, but as he expects to be in
town often with dour, and a good article at
that, the change will be a good one as well
for himself as for our citizens, and the far
mers to be accommodated by his mill. As
appearances favor the prediction of a heavy
crop this season, our prospects for a trial
sample of Henry's best, may be considered
good.
We are having delightful weather just
now. Everything has a spring-like appear
ance. The little robin red-breast can now be
heard warbling forth the sweet strains for
which it is noted, and, the grass is springing
up as green as any grass we ever saw, and
the crops promise to be better than they have
been for several years. We only hope that
they may, and that the price of wheat may
come down to 50 cents per bushel, and give
us poor Editors a chance to live like we used
to, instead of living on hoe-cakes and herring
bones. We like hoe-cakes sometimes, but
we give our word for it, we don't like to eat
them all the time.
A RELIC.—On Saturday last, we were shown
by Mr. E. Summers, a piece of what is sup
posed to be the original Standing Stone, found
by him some time ago. It is a slate stone
about two feet in length, and one in breadth,
and on the sides and edges, are cut the names
of several persons, (which we don't now re
member,) dated as far back as 1768. Some
person has chipped one side of the stone off,
leaving quite an offset, and no doubt defac
ing several names. The stone looks as"
though it had been used for some purpose
or other at one time, as it is very smooth and
nice. It is quite a relic, and the veritable
Ed. says it is a genuine article. It can be
seen in his saloon, under the post office, and
the curious should not fail to go and take a
look at it, and we can assure them that Ed.
will take great pleasure in explaining any
mystery that may puzzle the mind of the
curious.
TUE BOROUGH ELECTION.—On next Mon
day it will be the duty of the citizens of this
borough to select officers for the corporation.
The exercise of the right of suffrage is not
only a privilege which every citizen is enti
tled to exercise, but it is a duty which every
one should faithfully perform. Minor sta
tions in our great political system most di
rectly interest the people, and such positions
should be conferred only upon the worthy.—
Too often these elections are treated with
almost criminal and certainly with culpable
neglect by those persons who, in case an im
proper man is elected to office, are loudest in
their denunciations and complaints.
The maintenance of good order, the se
curity of person and property, the cleanli
ness of our public streets and alleys, and the
health, comfort and convenience of our peo
ple, depend much upon the faithful execution
of our municipal laws. To select officers
who will attend earnestly and faithfully to
these matters of great importance to every
inhabitant should be the first and highest
consideration to the voter as he advances to
deposit his ballot.
To BUSINESS MEN.—Every business man
and mechanic who has a proper appreciation
of the true mode of doing business, ought to
have impressed upon his memory the fact
that no man should be delicate about asking
for what is properly his due. If he neglects
doing so, he is deficient in the spirit of inde
pendence which he should observe in all his
actions. Rights are rights, and if not grant
ed, should be demanded. The selfish world
is little inclined to claim it. The lack of
proper fulfillment of this principle has lost
to many, fortune, fame and reputation.
Occasionally a customer, who is less a gen
tleman than an upstart, puts on haughty airs
and affects to be insulted at being dunned
for money that he ought to have paid long
before. No matter. The laborer is worthy
of his hire. We know it is unpleasant to be
dunned, and equally unpleasant to dun oth
er people ; nevertheless, circumstances some
times require that we submit to both; but we
would be sorry to get "wroth3r" at a man be
cause he asked us for his own, and a man is
"very small potatoes" who will fly in a pas
sion when we demand a small bill.
SDSRE THE BIRDS.-A writer, over the sig
nature of "Lover of Nature," says that were
farmers aware of the vast benefit which the
destruction of insectiverous birds are to them
not another day would pass before an attempt
was made to avert this evil. There is the sap
sucker, that indispensable agent in the rear
ing of fruit trees, is a conspicuous mark for
the roaming, loafing gunner ; and the red
breast, a bird that will descend through all
future ages as the friend of man, and that is
so beautifully connected with our nursery
tales; the blue-jay, the oriole or hanging
bird, the sparrow, and in short all that come
within their reach are shot down without
mercy. There is a law, passed by our Leg
islature but a year or two ago, to prevent
this destruction of birds, and what is the use
of having laws and law-makers if they are not
enforced? If this bird law were carried out
to its fullest extent by every farmer, the birds
would' increase, and necessarily as they in
creased, the insects that destroy the crops
would decrease; and as a natural consequence
there being a less number of insects to dep
redate upon the grain, larger and better
crops would be the result.
[For The Globe.]
MR. EDITOR had the pleasure of at
tending the Examination of the Franklin
School, at Meadow Gap, on Saturday the
19th inst.
This school has been under the vigilant
care of Mr. John M. McAninch, during the
last two sessions The Examination consisted
of a thorough review of all studies pursued
the last winter. The classes in geography,
grammar, mental arithmetic and algebra,
with a sele - ct essay and declamation by most
of the scholars. We were much delighted
with the compositions and declamations,
which was sufficient to show that the schol
ars were well trained.
After the Examination, which occupied
some five hours, George. W. Holland deliver
ed an oration. Subject—Defence of the Com
mon School teacher. (All we had to regret
was, that the patrons of all the schools in the
District were not present.) It was delivered
in a very eloquent manner, which led us to
believe that the speaker understood his sub
ject, and dealt with it accordingly. Last,
though not least, was some very touching re
marks to the scholars'rby the teacher. The
teacher of this school deserves much credit,
certainly any Board of Directors would be
fortunate in securing his services. PLATO.
MR. EDITOR :—Being convalescent last
week, I was unable to furnish you with any
news, but this week I amain at my post,
ready for duty, and send You the following,
which is a little late, but as it is pretty good,
it will answer every purpose yet :
On Friday afternoon of week before last,
a well known colored "plug," John Hanson,
having just been released from jail, was cel
ebrating the event by getting on a " big
drunk," and as a colored boy was passing by
on a horse, where he was, on Tow Hill, he
took it into his head that both the boy and
horse ought to have a sound drubbing, and
took the task upon himself. After pulling
the boy off the horse, and thrashing him, he
commenced on the horse, but ere he hat fin
ished his work, the fuss attracted quite a
crowd, and one Bill Brooks (colored,) then
proceeded to chastise Hanson for his inhu-
Man conduct, which he did do most effectu
ally, -to the delight of the bystanders. Han
son not being satisfied with this, kicked up a
fuss with another darkey, "Old Dog Tray,"
as he is called, who split a board over Han
son's head, and otherwise beating him, which
he justly deserved. After the affairs were
over, it was pretty hard to tell whether Han
son was a red man or a darkey.
Oh, Mr. Editor, but I am becoming pop
ular amongst the ladies. Yes, sir. Why,
only the other evening whilst promena
ding with a lady she informed me that
whoever " that Ex-Reporter for the Globe
is, he is a dirty, mean fellow," and in
deed she wouldnh speak to, nor be seen on
the street with him. I told her that he was a
particular friend of her's, but she denied it like
a Turk, and said "no friend of her's would
write that way." Of course I had to cave,
very reluctantly, however. Yes, Mr. Editor,
I am making a disturbance in our town.—
Why, one fellow threatens to horse-whip me
in the public street, another says he can
whip the man who is the author of the Ex-
Reporter letters, and if he ever finds out who
it is, he will most certainly do it ; another
says nobody but a rascal would dare to in
dite such slanderous articles on paper, (of
course, then I am a rascal, and shall try to
establish a reputation to that effect,) about
the citizens of Huntingdon, yes, dear old
Huntingdon. But you will observe that I
am not taking very much notice of them, but
to let them know who I am and what I am,
I will hereby, and at this time, give public
warning to all those who have any intentions
of assaulting me, that I carry on and about
my person, eleven bowie knives, fifty-seven
revolvers, eighteen dirks, several single-bar
reled pistols, &c. &c., and many
,other arti
cles to numerous to mention just here, but
not for the purpose-of protecting my person
from assassination exactly, but to dispose of to
the good citizens of our town, as it is no in
convenience for me to step up to the door of
a house, while in pursuit of material for your
paper, and ask the proprietor whether he
would like to buy. an article of that kind ;
neither do I sell them for any pecuniary ben
efit, for you know, Mr. Editor, that the sala
ry I receive from you, is sufficient to keep
half a dozen women in hoops, but merely for
the fun of the thing. I would further state,
however, for the benefit of those interested,
that should I be molested, I would not be
slow to try the quality of one of my beauti
fully finished life-preservers, if you please.
That isn't all either, Mr. Editor, some folks
blame a poor, innocent andunoffending young
lawyer, for being the author of these letters,
who never - harmed any person in his life, and
I don't suppose he would either. They have
him almost frightened to death about it, but
you know, Mr. Editor, I can't help it. Ile
strongly denies having anything to do . with
them, but persons think they are so charac
teristic of him, that they do not believe
word he says. I will just say for the poor
fellow, that it isn't him, but 1, who am not
a lawyer, but who is going to be. Yes, Mr.
Editor, I think I will go to studying law
nest -week. If you have any cases you want
"put through," bring them to me, or my
partner, and we will see that you come out
whole, for I rather think you are a pretty
clever sort of a man. I will send in my card
nest week. You will see the number and
row of my office on it. More anon.
Yours gloriously, Ex-REPORTEa.

FINE HEAD OF RICH GLOSSY HAIR.
Talk of beauty, it cannot exist without a fine head of
hair, then read the following, and if you ask more, see
circular around each bottle, and no one can doubt.
PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—We call
the attention of all, old and young, to this wonderful prep
aration, which turns back to its original color, gray hair
—covers the head of the bald with a luxuriant growth—
removes the dandruff, itching, and all cutaneous eruptions
—causes a continual flow of the natural fluids; and hence
if used as a regular dressing for the hair will preserve its
color, and keep it from falling to extreme old age, in all
its natural beauty. 'We call then upon the bald, the grey,
or diseased in scalp, to use it: and surely the young will
not, as they value the flowing locks, or time witching curl,
ever be without it. Its praise is upon the tongue of thou
sands.
The Agent for Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative in New
Haven, received the following letter in regard to the Res
torative, a few weeks since :
DEEP EWER, Co:ix, July 23,1556.
Mr. Leavenworth—Sir: I have been troubled with dan
druff or scurf on my head for more than a year, my hair
began to come out, scurf and hair together. I saw in a
New Haven paper about " Wood's Hair Restorative" as a
cure. I called at your store on the Ist of April last, and
purchased one bottle to try it, and I found to my satisfac
tion it was the thing; it removed the scurf and new hair
began to grow; it is now two or three inches in length
where it was a// off. I have great faith in it. I wish you
to send me two bottles more by Mr. Post, the bearer of
this. I don't know as any of the kind is used in this
place, you may have a market for many bottles after it is
known hero. ' Yours with respect,
ItIIFUS PRATT
PrtoF. Wooo—Dear Sir: Your Hair Restorative is prov
ing itself beneficial to me. Tho front, and also the back
part of my head almost lost its covering—in fact BALD. I
have used but two half pint bottles of your Restorative,
and now the top of my head is well studded with a prom
ising crop of young hair, and the front is also receiving
its benefit. I have tried other preparations without any
benefit whatever. I think from my own personal recom
mendation, I can induce many others to try it.
tours respectfully, D. R. THOMAS, M. D,
No. 401 Vine street.
PROF. 0. J. WOOD: As you are about to manUfacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I will
state, for whomsoever it may concern, that I have used it
and known others to use it—that I have, for several years
been in the habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and
that I find yours vastly superior to any other I know. It
entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and with one
month's proper use will restore any person's hair to the
original youthful color and texture, giving it a healthy,
soft and glossy appearance; and all this, without discolor
ing the hands that apply it, or the dress on which it drops.
I would, therefore, recommend its use to every one desi
rous of having a fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, WILSON KING.

New Stilles—Prices from $5O to $125. Extra
Charge of $5 for Hemmers.

Fell, Gather, and Stitch a superior style, finishing each
ream by their own operation, without recourse to the
hand-needle, as is required by other machines. They will
do better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even
if she works for one cent an hour, and aro, unquestionably,
the best Machines in the market for family sowing, on ac
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all - varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and - without
special adjustment.
