THE HUNTBGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C.
THE GLOBE.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, April 6, 1859
LOCAL & PERSONAL.
ser The water was let into the Canal on
the Ist inst. Boatmen are busily engaged in
preparing their boats for a. trip down the
" raging eanawl " with a load of Broad Top
coal.
RATHER CooL.—The weather has been a
little on the cool order for two or three days
past. April, so far, is giving us the kind of
weather March should have given, to keep up
the reputation for its surly, growling propen
sities, which it is so noted for.
Ear . The gas lamps on the corners of our
streets are quite an improvement, as well as
an ornament to our town, and also very con
venient to pedestrians, whose business calls
them away from their homes after the mantle
of darkness has spread her husky form over
us.
REMOVAL.—Boss Westbrook has removed
his Boot Shoe Store, to the room formerly
occupied by Eclairas Thomas, as a confection
ary, two doors east of the Globe building.—
Advertisement will be found in the columns
of the Globe, as soon as the Boss returns from
the city.
BOROI7GLI ELECTION.—The election on Mon
day, resulted in the election of the following
named gentlemen : •
Burgess,—Wm. Rothrock. •
Council—David Dunn, David Black, Peter
Swoope, Louis Bergans.
High Constable—Wm. IL King.
Supervisors—John White, W. K. Rahm.
IIEALTII PROMOTED BY FAMILY
Music, like paintings - and satuary, refines
and elevates and sanctifies. Song is the lan
guage of gladness, and it is the utterance of
devotion. But coming lower down, it is phys
ically beneficial ; it rouses the circulation,
wakes up bodily energies, and diffuses life
and animation around. Does a lazy man
ever sing ? Does a milk-and-water character
ever strike a stirring note ? Never. Song
is the outlet of mental and physical activity,
and increases both, by its exercises. No
child has completed a religious education who
has not been taught to sing the songs of
Zion. No part of our religious worship is
sweeter than this. In Dal - id's day it was a
practice and a study.
We think there is good sense in a sug
gestion made by an American who thus writes
from London: "In the churches, whoever
comes first, whether gentleman or lady, takes
the further - seat in the slip, and those that
follow fill up the remaining seats, and thus
prevent the awkward disturbance which oc
curs in our churches here in the process of
filling in and out by men, in order to isolate
Women at the further end of the pew. It is
said the habit so universal among us, origi
nated with the early settlers, who sat near
the doors of the pews, so that in case of an
attack by the Indians, they might be ready
for action. In many instances, this march
ing out and in, like a parcel of soldiers, is a
perfect nuisance, and the custom might well
be changed."
A PEEP IN AT TILE STpßES.—Printers are
privileged charaeters„soinclimes—in stores
always, if they do not ask for credit. The
merchants know our "pile," and consequent
ly we have been Permitted to look at their
goods, without being questioned as to what
article we wanted. We have looked at their
goods,
and now we are troubled to determine
where to advise our friends to go to get the
best, unless we direct their attention to our
new. advertisements. Gavin has lots of the
very prettiest and best goods.---Fisher & Mc
11.turtrie, or Rash, perhaps we should say,
has been fortunate in making a selection to
suit everybody.—Benj. Jacobs and old Mose
Strous, have each a large and good stock of
goods. In the Clothing way, IL Roman and
M. Gutman & Co., have each opened splendid
assortments. Robt. King, has a fine assort
ment of goods for gentlemen's wear, which
he will make to order in the best style. In
quiring persons will consult our columns,
and their own interests, by calling at the bu
siness places of business men, always indica
ted by advertisements in the columns of the
"Globe."
F144.G PRESENTATION. - At an early hour on
Monday evening, the Court House was crowd
ed with ladies and gentlemen, to witness the
presentation of a handsome American Flag,
on behalf of Maj. Gen. Watson and his Staff,
to the Excelsior Brass Band, of this place.—
After the crowd had settled itself down, the
Band performed -the new and beautiful piece,
" The Garrettson Quick Step," presented to
the Band as an honor to our :worthy friend, the
Major, who is every inch a military man.—
The Star Spangled Banner was next per
formed by the Band, when Maj. Gen. Wat
son, introduced Col. F. U. Lane, who pre
sented the Flag in a speech beautiful and ap
propriate in every particular: J. S. Stewart,
Esq., on behalf of the Band, received the
Flag, in a short, but neat and patriotic
speech. After several pieces had been per
formed' by the Band, the crowd dispersed,
And . the Band, Military, and' a number of
ladies and gentlemen, returned to Williams'
Franklin Hotel, where they partook of an
-oyster- supper- prepared for the occasion.—
After several short, but spicy speeches had
been -,- delivered;:the - oompany returned to
; their homes at ;In early hour, delighted with
all the performantes of the evening.
A lloAx.—Two weeks ago we noticed in
our paper, that gold had been discovered at
Mill Creek, or what every person supposed to
be gold. Some of our citizens anxious to
know the real truth of the matter, and having
business in Philadelphia, took some of the
ore with them, and had it tested at the mint,
and the result was, "no gold there." The
operators at the mint said there was a small
particle of mica in it, but not sufficient to be
worth the trouble of mining and smelting it.
THE SLEEPING CARS.-Our local cotempo
rary of the Johnstown Tribune, describing
the new sleeping cars lately placed upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad, saps they arc models
of beauty and comfort. The outside of the
cars are finished in a workmanlike manner,
and the internal arrangements are dressed
up in a style of elegance seldom to be seen.
The apartments in each car are entirely sep
arate from each other, being divided by a
partition, and provided with a door which
can be shut and locked by the occupants of
the apartments, thereby rendering them se
cure from any intrusion or annoyance from
other passengers or persons walking through
the cars, and enabling them to obtain that
rest which those who ride in other passenger
cars so much desire, but cannot find. Since
these cars have been placed upon the. road,
we have been informed that the number ap
plying for apartments therein, at either end
of the road, would be sufficient to fill two cars
of the same kind with each train.
Ma. EDITOR.—In my observations of Hun
tingdon, I find there are about twenty different
classes of society, such as the high and the
low, the rich and the poor, the refined and
unrefined, the do-somethings and the do-noth
ings, the respectable and those that are not
respectable, the learned and the unlearned,
the common street blackguard, and those
who follow the same business under the sa
ble mantle of darkness, the drunk and those
who go behind the door to drink, and those
who profess to be sober, the honest and the
dishonest, the proud and those that are not
proud. The Globe being a welcome visitor to
all their firesides, I merely name over the
different classes in order that they may be
think themselves, and try to be more com
mon place people. The Globe is what I
term a friend to all. It is read as well by its
enemies as its friends. And, I have not the
least doubt, many of its good, moral lessons
which it teaches is taken to heart by many
of its bitterest enemies. However, let the
enemies of the Globe, wriggle and squirm, it
will live long after the Bald Hornet (which is
to be,) has budded and bloomed fora season,
and lost its fragrance on the desert air, to
raise the battle cry of LIDERTY and INDEPEN
DENCE forever.
Well, Mr. Editor, it is a fact beyond doubt,
that no person was ever in a more perilous
predicament in the world, than your humble
reporter is at present. In my last, you re
member, I was about taking up the law.—
Well, no sooner had I hung out my " shin
gle," than my political friends, (I am a mem
ber of the " What Not Party,") wanted to
run me for High Constable, but I declined.—
They insisted. I told them I was no politi
cal aspirant, but wanted to live a quiet, hon
est life. That I did not want to be a tool for
any party. (You see, Mr. Editor, if I had
accepted the nomination for High Constable,
the next thing they would have had my name
up for United State Senator, or some other
equally honorable position, if, indeed, it is an
honor now-a-days, to be an office-holder.) I
am determined to live in retirement, and
shall never seek to have my name paraded
in the public journals of the day, as a dishon
est, thieving, political trickster. It is glory
enough for me to watch the movements of
others, who are more ambitious in that direc
tion than I am.
My law business, I will not advertise yet,
my office has been crowded ever since I open
ed out, with clients.
Yours dearly,
MARRIED,

NOTICE TMULL OWNERS.
The undersigned has purchased the right of Hun
tingdon and Blair counties, for the DIRECT ACTION
TURBINE WATER: WHEEL, of Timothy Rose, patented.
September 20, 1850. This wheel has been successfully
introduced in all the Eastern States, and sonic of the Wes
tern, and wherever introduced, has proven to be the most
efficient and economical wheel for the use of water, that
has ever been invented for Saw Mills, and driving other
machinery where there is a quick motion required.
The important features of this \ 'heel for saw mills,
are
briefly these: Ist. It is made of cast iron, and for that
reason is much less liable to be troubled with ice, as the
cast iron generates heat much quicker than the wooden
wheel, and not liable to decay, 20. Its cheapness of con
struction and the amount of effective power obtained from
it. 3d. The manner in which they are constructed, being
unlike all other wheels for saw mills, making it evident
that they are easy of access under any circumstances for
repairs, or anything else. The shafts and wheels can be
taken out of their place without removing any part of the
plum. 4. Its great-per centage of power tothe water ex
pended, and its uniformity of per centage andpower, when
the gate is but partially raised.
This wheel claims a superiority over all other water
wheels now in use for saw mills, inasmuch as a much lar
ger per centage is saved in the power of propulsion, and
works equally well under either high or low heads, and is
a valuable power for those who find it necessary to econo
mize in water.
All further information will be cheerfully given by the
subscriber at Potter's Mill, Centre county, Pa., who is pre
pared to put in wheels at short notice and on reasonable

The Agent for Prof. Wood's hair Restorative in New
Haven, received the following letter iu regard to the Res
torative, a few weeks since :
Anal , m Coco, 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 all 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, yen may haye market for many bottles after it is
known here. Yours with respect,
RUFUS PRATT
MULADELPITIA, Sept. D, ISSG.
Woon—Dear Sir: Tour Hair Restorative is prov
ing, itself beneficial to me. The front, and also the back
part of my head almost lost its covering—in filet 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.
Yours respectfully, ' D. R. TIDDIAS, iIL D.

PROF. 0. J. WOOD: As you are about to manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Bair itestorativc, 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 Ilair 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 ono desi
rous of having a tine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, WILSON KING.

TOY TO THE ADMIRERS OF A
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 donbt.
PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVIL—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 the witching curl,
ever be without it. Its praise is upon the tongue of thou
sands.

_L,FARPER'S ArAGAZINE.
The Publisher's believe that the Seventeen Vol
umes of Hstirsit's MAGAZINE 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 Tiernzy," DELAYER. LYTTON'S "My Novel," Dies-
Liv's "Bleak Muse" and "Little Dorrit," TUACKEEIT'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 READE,
I WILKIE, COLLINS, Mrs. GASEELL, Miss :Antoci!, 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 beep welcomed
from every section of the country ; npd 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 pnblic.
