LOCAL & PERSONAL.
The frost hereabouts has considerably
injured the prospects of an abundant fruit
crop.
,13.6 r The Court proceedings not being com
plete, their publication is deferred until our
next issue.
Cow KILLED.—A valuable cow owned by
Mrs. Morgan, of this place, was killed by
being thrown from the track by a freight
train, on Friday last.
The report from all sections of the
country,' is that the winter grains are in
good condition, and prospering finely. The
prospect for a heavy harvest of wheat is
very good.
I. 0. 0. F.—The anniversary celebration
of. the 0. F., comes off at Alexandria on Tues
day next, 26th inst. Public exercises at 3 P.
M., to be followed by refreshments and. soi
ree in the Hall. The public are invited to
attend.
SOMETHING NEW.-MT. Wm. Summers is
completing his arrangements for opening a
news depot on the street, where all the best
weekly and daily papers can be had fresh
from the press. We hope be may meet with
abundant success.
Our town was pretty well crowded
last week—first week of Court—and those
who called upon us will please accept our
thanks.
The crowd in town this week is rather slim.
Ditto, our receipts.
ADMITTED.—On. Thursday last, on motion
of J. Sew el Stewart, Esq., Henry T.K. White,
Esq., was admitted to practice law in the sev
eral courts of Huntingdon county. Mr.
White
_passed a highly creditable examina
tion, both to himself, and the gentlemen with
whom he studied. Tie is a young man of
fine literary qualifications, and we wish him
an abundant success wherever he may de
termine to hang out his "shingle."
WurrEwAsu.—As this is the season when
housekeepers are cleaning and whitening
their Walls, the following will be found to
make an excellent whitewash :—Slack lime
in a barrel or 'other vessel, then thin down to
the proper consistency, adding a pound of
salt to every five gallons. When cool, add
about half a gallon of sweet milk, which will
render it less liable to be washed off with
rain.. For - -out-houses and fences,- if copper
is added to every five gallons of the above
whitewash, •a very durable buff-colored wash
will be produced.
INTERESTING EXPERDIENTS WITH LOCOMO
TIVES.-A series of experiments are now be
ing made on the Pennsylvania Railroad at
Altoona, on the Mountain grade, under the
supervision of W. J. Palmer, Esq., of Phila.
Lie object is to test the capacity of engines
of different build, to generate the greatest
amount of steam from. the least amount of
coal, and to consume smoke. Five engines
are being tested, namely : A " Winans' Cam
el Back ;" one built by Norris and rebuilt by
Baldwin, with Dempfield's boiler; one rebuilt
at Altoona, with smoke consumer; one built
by Norris, with Phioger's boiler, and one
equipped with Gill & Co.'s smoke consumer,
by Mr. Greer, master of machinery at Al
toona. A train of nine cars, loaded, are be
ing hauled by each engine from Altoona .to
the top of the grade, twelve miles. The
amount of coal is accurately measured that
each engine requires to make the trip. So
far, the Winans' Engine has used the least
coal, by about fifteen bushels. Last week a
train of cars was tried on the Mountain grade
with Loughridge's car brake. The train was
handled very satisfactorily by the Engineer ;
a number of stops were made in very short
distances on the heaviest grades. The Com
pany are equipping their fast line engine and
cars, with this safeguard to their trains. The
results, of the trials above noted will be made
public in a few days, and will be looked for
with no little interest.
-Mr. EDITOR.—When I lectured on the sub-',
ject of temperance many years since, I Was
in the, habit of quoting from a long list of
receipts, for the manufacture of alcoholic
drinks. - This was the part of my address
that usually "took" with the audience.
examining some old papers ,a few days ago,
I found a .portion of the'-paper; which,.l sup
posed:was• altogether lost. - It is but a frag
ment.. I.wishl had the whole of it; it would
edify 'both those who sell, and thoe who
drink the article.
One kind ofgin-or brandy is made up of,
among other things, the following :
a pint of cc:doling matter ; a- of the extract
of orris root ; -a-, pint of cherry lawrel water ;
pint extract of capsicums,• .
To make 101 gallonyf good Jamaica
RUm : _
30 gal's Jamaica Rum 25 per cent over
proof; 30 gal's Leeward Island Rum, 25 over
proof; 20 . gal's Rectified Spirits, 56 per cent
over proof ; 21 gal's of water ; 1 pint of col
oring matter; I pint extract orris root;
pint cherry lawrel water (poison).
The following mixture is frequently put
into wines of the "choicest brands."
Bad brandy, cider, sloe juice, logwood, sal
tartar, gum dragon, - extract of almond cake,
(potion), cherry lawret water; (poison), sum
benzoin, nitim , iic. A bottle of New York port
wine, was found to contain, 2 ounces of alco
hol, 4 of cider, ?-; of sugar, 2 of alum, 1 of
tartaric acid, 4 of concentrated solution of
logwood.
A party of Congressmen got hold of a dem
ijohn of an article intended expressly for
"congressional use," and after emptying the
vessel of its contents, found in the bottom 1
quart of—cockroaches.
The drinks of the present day, are even
worse than these. For to the above materi
als, they add strychnine. - Young man, read
the above, and then determine you will never
touch a drop of the vile stuff. I only add
that these receipts, and many others, 1 once
had, were copied from papers found in the
house of a New York manufacturer of wines,
brandies, &e., after his death.

Judge Knox
The difference between James Buchanan
and his office-holders and servitors general
ly, and Judge Knox, is this :
In Illinois, King James Buchanan and his
corrupt office-holders, aimed to elect a "Black
Republican" Legislature in order that Lin
coln, an Abolitionist should be returned to
the 11. S. Senate, instead of Douglas, whose
whole political life has been one of spotless
Democracy; whereas, in the Chester and
Delaware districts, Judge Knox advocated
the election of Hickman, who ran as an anti-
Lecompton Democrat, and was elected as
well over his Republiccut as his Buchanan
Federal opponent.
A very marked difference, indeed ; and if
the Pennsylvanian has not before looked at it
in this light, we invite its attention to it
now.
The Pennsylvanian charges Judge Knox
with " infidelity to principles," meaning, of
course Democratic "principles." We desire,
nay, we defy, the Pennsylvanian, with all its
reckless effrontery, and habitual disregard of
truth, to point to a single, instance in his po
litical career, in which Judge Knox has shown
"infidelity" to Democratic " principles."
Let us have no more loose assertions—no
perkily-a-line falsehoods—no graceless libels.
Give us time, and place and deed. Other
wise,,any further controversy on the subject
would be bootless.
" lle Wassuot proscribed for his opinions,"
says the Pennsylvanian. In. the sense in
which this will be. understood, it is not true.
Ile might. not have been " proscribed" for
entertaining the opinions he did if he had
sealed his lips. So might a Russian serf en
tertain democratic sentiments without detri
ment to himself, if he smothered them in his
own breast. But what are opinions worth if
the. conceiver dare, not utter them ? What
was,Douglas "proscribed" for ? lle had not
disorganized ; he had not addressed Repub
lican meetings ; he had not stepped a hairs
breadth aside from the strictest party disci
pline. But he . did what was more unaccep
table to Buchanan ; he exercised his right as
the representative of a sovereign State in the
discharge of his duty, to differ on a measure
of policy from that high functionary, and to
give expression to his sentiments. It was not
for differing in opinion from the President
that Douglas was proscribed, but for boldly
stating the grounds of difirenee. The tyrant
—any tyrant can tolerate "opinions" adverse
to himself so long as he does not know that
such "opinions" are entertained. But he
will not tolerate them when expressed.—
Judge Knox, like Senator Douglas, was "pro
scribed,"uot for entertaining, but for pro
mulgating "opinions." They would not have
" proscribed' Judge Knox if he had not spo
ken—but, having spoken,. he was condemned.
This reveals - to the public another idea and
another phase of Buchanan Democracy.
zezim David Mann, Esq., who many years
ago was Auditor General of Pennsylvania,
died at his residence in Bedford, at an ad
vanced age, on the 15th inst.
The Two Attorneys-General.
[From the Lycoming Gazette.]
The disorganizers make much ado about
Attorney-General Knox delivering a speech
last fall in favor of Hon. John Hickman, the
anti- - Lecompton Democratic candidate for
Congress, in the Chester county district.•—
That was an unpardonable sin in the eyes of
a Lecomptonite. But there is another Attor
ney-General who did much worse things than
make a speech in favor of a Democratic can
didate for Congress, in whom they can find
no fault. During Senator Douglas' campaign
last fall against the combined forces of the
Republicans and National Administration,
Jeremiah S. Black, Mr. Buchanan's Attorney-
General, wrote letter after letter to Demo
crats in Illinois, urging them to defeat Doug
las, and thereby elect Lincoln, the Republi
can. Was that Democratic ? No ; but it
was Lecomptonism of the purest kind, and
therefore a thing to be applauded by the dis
organizers of Pennsylvania. If the disorgan
izers continue to force the matter upon the
Democracy, some of the nice doings of Mr.
Attorney-General Black, together with other
members of Mr. Buchanan's Democratic (?)
Cabinet, during the last Illinois campaign,
will be held up for the inspection of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania. Some of
the Illinois documents still remain on file.
Aar Captain Hudson, of the Niagara, was
once, says the Jamaica (Long Island) Farnt
er, a baker boy in Brooklyn. One day he
chanced to be in the Navy Yard at Brooklyn,
and the thought struck him, that he would
like to enter the navy. So, going to the prop
er officer, he applied for admission. The nov
elty of seeing a lad alone, boldly asking for a
place so often secured by political preference,
or by the entreaties of influential friends, at
tracted at once the attention of the officer, and
he inquired, "What can you do I" The re
ply was prompt and decisive : "Anything
that another boy can." He was told to call
again, and a few days passed, and the place
was given to the enterprising lad. Scarcely
in his new position, he began to show marks
of genius and aptitude, which out-did his as
sociates, and step by step the baker's boy
rose to influence and rank, and to-day ho
stands among the highest in rank and most
influential in power of the great ones who
compose the United States Navy. Such, in
belief, is the career of William N. Hudson,
commander of the United States steamer Ni
agara.
METHODISTS EXPELLED FROM TEX-lE.—The
Texas papers give particulars of the proceed
ings of several meetings recently held in Fan
nin county, for the purpose of taking meas
ures to expel - the members of the Methodist
Church North, who are accused of being Ab
olitionists. At one meeting, a committee of
fifty was appointed to wait on Bishop Jayne
with a warning. They performed their duty
on a Sunday, while the Bishop was engaged
in the morning service in the Church. It
was also resolved that the Methodist Church
North could not be tolerated in Texas, and.
that it must be, put down if necessary. A
committee was appointed to draft other reso
lutions, to be acted upon at an adjourned
meeting.

NOTICE TO MILL 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 some 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 fur Saw ➢Tills, and driving other
machinery where there is a quick motion required.
The important features of this wheel 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. 2d. 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 coning° of power to the 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 rea.sonablo
terms. J01.1.N TODD.

jOY TO THE ADMIRERS OF A
FINE HEAD OF RICH GLOSSY HAIR.
Talk of beauty, it cannot exist without a flue 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 HAM JE.—Wecall
the attention of all, old and young, to this wonderful prep.
oration, 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 ago, in all
its natural beauty. We (mil 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,
over 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 iu regard to the Res
torative, a few weeks since:
DEEP Riven, Cos::, July 23, 1856.
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 itestonitive " as a
ehre. 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 offi I have great faith in it. I wish you
to send me two bottles more by ,Jr. Post, the bearer of
this. I don't know us 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.
ItUFLTS MATT
Pram Woon—Dear Sir: Your Hair Restorative is prov
ing itself beneficial to mo. The front, and also the back
part of my head almost lost its covering—in fact anin. 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 frofit is also receiving
its benefit. 1 have tried other preparations without ally
benefit whatever. I think from my own personal recom
mendation, I can induce many others to try it.
Yours respectfully ; D. It. THOMAS, M. D.
No. 4.0-1 Vine street.
PROF. 0. J. WOOD: As you aro 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, fur several - years
been in the habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and
that I hind yours vastly superior to any other I know. It
entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and 'With ono
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 ou which it drops.
I would. therefore, recommend its use to every one desi
rous of having a flue color and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, WILSON RING.
