they will have a fine harvest this season.

on Tuesday morning, and took with him the
kind wishes of this community.
liar Our little favorite, HATTIE MILLER, on
yesterday, made us a handsome present of
early vegetables, for which she has our thanks.
We are particularly fond of vegetables, and
kind hearted little girls.
I/af- A very fine article of Ladies' Note
Paper, for sale at Lewis' Book, Stationery
and Music Store, where every article in his
line of business can be had at retail as cheap
if not cheaper, than at any other establish
ment in the State.
ger Workmen are busily engaged in lay
ing down gas pipes from the corner of Hill
street, up Montgomery to Washington street.
We are not advised whether the Gas Compa
ny intend laying the pipes from one end of
the street to the other.
BOUQUETS.—This is the season for youth—
the spring time of life—and bouquets. Bou
quets—we received one last week, from our
neighbor NANNTE—it was the first of the sea
son—not as large as the one we expect to re
ceive from the same hands when the varie
ties are in full bloom.
We had the pleasure, a few evenings
since, of trying the quality of Mr. C. Long's
Ice Cream. His room can easily be found,
at his residence over G utman's Clothing Store,
and if his Cream is not found equal to the
best, then we may be put down as no judge
of the article. Call and taste for yourselves.
LARCENY OF TEN DOLLARS.—On Wednesday
last, a colored girl, living in one of the back
streets, with her mother and step-father, was
arrested, on oath of the latter, on a charge of
stealing ten dollars from him. She had a
hearing before Esquire Snare, and was sent
to board in the county institution for sixty
days.
par' There has been complaint of late by
a number of our subscribers, that they do
not receive the "Globe" regularly. The
fault is not with us, we place the papers in
the P. 0. at this place regularly every Wed
nesday, in time for the mails. Our friends
will confer a favor by informing us of any
irregularity hereafter. We shall stir Uncle
Sam up with a long pole, if he attempts to
crush us out by detaining our papers.
SITICIDE.—We learn that Mrs. John Rich
ardson, living in Woodcock valley, commit
ted suicide on Saturday morning hist, by
hanging herself. Mrs. Richardson, had been
insane for several years, and un till Saturday
last, she had never shown any signs of her
intentions to take her own life. We are un
able to learn the full particulars, at present,
but if anything of importance should turn up
concerning the case, we will advise our read
ers of it.
I AND J.—There are no two letters in the
manuscript alphabet of the English language
which occasion so much trouble, or cause so
much misconstruction, as the two letters, I
and J, as many persons inadvertently write
them. The rule for writing them properly,
and which should - be universally understood
and adopted, is to extend the J below the
line, while the I should be written even with
the line. If those who write I for J knew
how it sometimes puzzles printers, they would
remember the above suggestions.
The German Reformed Classis have
been in session in this place, since Friday
last, and will close to-day. The mos,t, of the
Clergy in attendance, rank with the most
able in the State. On Sabbath last, members
of the Classis preached in the Methodist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist and Reform
ed churches. Several of the Clergy also vis
ited Alexandria and preached for congrega
tions in that place. The Classii will be long
and favorably remembered by the good peo
ple of all congregations in this neighborhood.
CONCERT.—On Wednesday evening last, a
blind girl, named Miss Phoebe Looker, gave
a concert in the Court House, assisted by the
Huntingdon Continentals. We did not at
tend the Concert, but learn that it was quite
a good affair. Miss Looker plays admirably
on the melodeon, and sings well. She also
read a psalm, printed in raised letters for the
blind. She is truly an object of charity, and
we are pleased to know that our citizens took
such an interest in her behalf. The Conti
nentals also deserve the commendation of our
citizens, for the effort which they made, to
assist her. They acquitted themselves nobly.
We hope that Miss Looker may be well pat
ronized wherever sho may go.
Tier: DrvistoN or CALIFORNIA.—The tele
graph brings information, that a bill for the
division of the State of California has passed
both branches of the Legislature, and gone
to the Governor for his signature. This bill
is entitled "An Act granting the consent of
the Legislature to the formation of a different
government for the Southern counties of the
State," and undoubtedly looks to the erection
of the territory thus set off, into an indepen
dent State. The name proposed to be given
to it is the "Territory of Colorado."

j" The steamship Tennessee, which ar
rived at Quarantine, New Orleans, May 12th,
furnishes dates from the Vera Cruz to the
Bth inst., and from the city of Mexico, to the
Ist. Gen. Robles was at Jalapa with 1000
men. He had issued a decree forbidding the
passage of.the American mails.
Great confusion reigned at the capital. A
change of the Presidency was soon expected.
An outbreak it was feared would occur short
ly. Miramon was endeavoring to raise money
in Europe on the church proporty, the Arch
bishop having consented to its mortgage.
XI-Z°' A dreadful accident, resulting from
foolishness and carelessness combined, re
cently occurred at a law school near Gallatin,
Tennessee. Some of the students were try-
ing (illustrating) the Sickles case, in moot
court, when the young man who took the part
of Sickles, jerked out a pistol which he did
not know was loaded, and shot his most inti
mate friend, who was taking the part of Key,
through the chest. Mr. Tap took the part of
Sickles, and Mr. Burke the part of Key. It
is a very sad thing, but the shot was purely
accidental. It was at first thought Mr. Burke
would recover, but mortification has taken
place. Mr. Tap has suffered so much in
mind that he has two or three times tried to
kill himself, but been prevented by his
young friends.

Persons laboring under this distressing malady will find
Dc. llANces Epileptic Pills to be the only remedy ever
discovered for curing Epilepsy or Falling Fits. These Pills
possess a specific action on the nervous system; and al
though prepared especially for the purpose of curing Fits,
they will be found of especial benefit to all persons afflic
ted with weak nerves, or whose nervous system has been
prostrated or shattered front any cause whatever. The
dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of
duly converting food into a life sustaining element, is re
lieved by a single course of the extraordinary Pills. The
gastric fluid re-acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment which was a load and a burden to the sufferer,
while his digestive organization was paralyzed and un
strung, becomes under the wholesome revolution created
in the system, the basis of strength, activity, and health.

In Jackson township, on Wednesday, May 4, 1359, after
a protracted sickness, MARGARET, wife of John Mcllroy,
aged sixty-one years.
She descended from a family—the Oberns—whose name,
in this Valley, is coeval with civilization. Like her illus
trious progenitor, " who kept his wheat for those that had
no money and no horse," she was ever ready to relieve the
distressed, to comfort the afflicted, and to remember the
forgotten. As piety predominated in her mind, so it in
fluenced all her conduct; hence, her silent generosity,
meekness of disposition, and veneration of the Sabbath.
In the nearest relations of life—as a wife and a mother
—her character was eminently lovely. Her gentle words
uttered with such peculiar grace, found access ready, to
the listener's heart.
To us who were present at that trying time—the hour
of death—we felt that many tears and lamentations were
there unbecoming, and would have marred the solemn
sweetness of the scene—we remembered, full well, her
sleepless nights and wasting form. With serenity, nay,
joy, we saw her, with uplifted hands, "accepting death as
gently and silently as the sky receives into its arms the
waning moon." J. B. M.

EDICAL SCIENCE.
11 The history of "11 - 00FLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TERS," the most remarkable medicine of the clay, and
the ninny cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVES COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among the most astonishing
discoveries
that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their own families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public commendation. It is a fact that, in the
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
are called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes
timony to support it as Hoofland's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not your Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to
the everlasting injury of your health; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
'These Bitters are prepared- and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son,
No. 418 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America,

PATENT CHAMPION SAFE.
LATE FIRE AT DUBUQUE, lOWA,
DUBUQUE„ Jan, 7, 1859
Gents: I am requested by Mr. T. A. C. Cochrane, of this
place, to say to you that on the morning of the 4th inst.,
about ZI o'clock, his store took fire, and the entire stock of
goods was destroyed. The heat became so suddenly intense
that none of the goods could possibly be saved ; but fortu
nately his books and papers, which were in one of your
Champion ,iiafiCs, were all preserved perfectly. And well
they may be called Champion, for during the whole con
flagration there was one incessant pouring of flame direct
ly upon the safe which contained them. And still, upon
opening it, the inside was found to be scarcely warm, while
the outside was most severely scorched. Yours truly.

NOTICE TO MILL OWNERS.
The undersigned has purchased the right of Hllll
tmgdon 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 he 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 wheel for saw mills, are
briefly these: Ist. It is made of cast iron, and for that
reason is much less liable to he 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 centago of power to the water ex
pended, and its uniformity of per centego and power, 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 centago 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 ut short notice and on reasonable
terms. JOHN TODD.
