News About Town.
BY EX-REPORTER
MR. EDITOR :—The Fourth is over, and I
am not sorry, and presume many others feel
likewise. As I have not the time, and pre
sume you have not the space in your paper,
I will make my report of the Fourth and the
doings of mankind, as brief as possible, and
its follows :
The Methodist Sabbath School celebrated
Saturday for the Fourth. At an early hour
on Saturday morning, they met at the Meth
odist Church, formed into procession, and re
paired to Cottage Grove, escorted by the Ex
celsior Band. The Declaration of Indepen
dence was read by Mr. James Mitchell.—
Speeches were delivered by Gen. Williamson
and T. M. Cornpropst. Vocal Music was
practiced, led by our friend Geissinger ; after
which the good things were served up in am
ple order.
The first thing that greeted my ears on the
morning of the Fourth, was "Hail Columbia,"
by the Excelsior Band. At an early hour,
groups of men and boys could be seen con
gregating on the street corners, all intent
upon doing some wonderful deed on the 4th
of July. Shooting of fire-crackers, &c., was
the order of the day with the boys. The
Presbyterian Sabbath School met at their
Church at eight o'clock, A. M., and repair
ed to Cottage Grove, escorted by the Excel
sior Band, when the Declaration of Indepen
dence was read by Mr. J. 11. 0. Corbin, and
speeches delivered by Rev. Zahnizer and R.
M. Speer. After which, the good things
were spread before the assembly.
The "Young American Lancers" paraded
through our streets on horseback, and made a
grand display, acquitting themselves in a
manner that would have done credit to more
experienced hands. Corpora el Stewart de
serves credit for the trouble and pains be took
in teaching the boys so thoroughly.
In the evening an exhibition was given in the
Court House, by the members of the Standing-
Stop e Literary Association. At an early hour,
crowds could be seen wending their way in the
direction of the Court House, and by the
time the hour had arrived for the bell to
ring, the room was literally jammed. I nev
er saw a more crowded house in my life.—
A great number were unable to gain admit
tance at all. The exercises consisted of music,
(vocal and instrumental,) reading of the Dec
laration of Independence, essays, orations,
and reading of toasts, opening with prayer
and closing with a benediction. The mem
bers of the Association did nobly, and acquit
ted themselves- with honor and credit, both to
themselves and to the community. The mu
sical gentlemen also deserve a notice at our
hands. The "Continentals" sang some of
their beautiful melodies, which was very en
tertaining. A company of gentlemen also
enlivened the audience with instrumental
music, which was delightful, and was appre
ciated by an appreciative audience. Take it
all in all, the exhibition was the best ever
given in this place. The proceedings- were
ordered to be published in the town papers,
and will appear next week.
The 4th didn't pass off entirely void of ac
cidents. John King, youngest son of Wm.
H. King, of this place, met with a sad
accident. lam unable to learn the full par
ticulars of the case, but the following is as
near as I can come at it: He was engaged,
with other boys, in setting off powder, and,
by some means or other, as they were pre
paring about two pounds of the combustible, it
caught fire, and flashed up, burning King's
face and hands in a shocking manner. He
was taken home; medical aid summoned, his
wounds dressed, and is doing as well as can
bo expected under the circumstances. This
is another warning to boys. Take heed. '
There was the usual number of drunken
people on the 4th, but I forbear making any
comments. The usual amount of rowdyism,
and the usual number of fights. I say usual,
because they are settled facts on such days.
I witnessed any amount of skirmishes on the
night of the Fourth, whilst wending my way
home.
I believe I have given you all the news of
importance in as brief a space as possible,
without any comments. However, bad I the
time, and your space would permit, I should
like to give you a more extended notice of the
proceedings of the different associations, and
the people in general. I visited Broad Top
on the 4th, and you may expect a notice of
my trip in your next,
S,--two important items I had almost
neglected. On the morning of the 4th, our
fellow-citizen, Mr. J. Simpson Africa, march
ed through town with a band of martial mu
sic, which he employed for the amusement of
our citizens and the gratification of his taste
for the National music of our country. The
Court House, the school house, and all the
Church bells were rung in the morning at
five o'clock, in honor of our National birth:
43r.
4:ter The next quarter at the Cassville Sem
inary begins on Monday, July 18th.
Prof. T. McCauley Ballintine, A, M. of
Cumberland College, Ky., will commence his
comma of lectures about the last of the month.
Mr. Owen, , the County Superintendent of
Schools has also consented to lecture—more
particularly for the benefit of the Teacher's
Normal class—but he has not yet fixed the
.tune.
TUE FOURTH AT HOPEiVELL AND BARNET.-
At an early hour on the morning of the 4th,
a large number of our citizens, including the
Huntingdon Excelsior Brass Band, took seats
in the Broad Top cars for these points. Mr.
Lawrence, the gentlemanly Superintendent
of the road, had the locomotive appropriately
decorated, and with the music of the Band
and the life of the company, the scene was
truly refreshing. At Saxton, some of the
company branched off to Barnet, where the
people of the coal region had a dinner, and
put in the day pleasantly to all. The main
body of the excursionists landed at Hopewell
at 11 A. M., where a large crowd of people
had already assembled. Dinner over, the
Odd Fellows in full regalia, a military corn
pang 'under the command of Capt. T. W. Hor
ton, the Excelsior Band, and citizens and
strangers generally, formed into line and re
paired to a grove, where an oration was de
livered by Dr. Wintrode, and an address upon
Oda 'Fellowship by a gentleman from Bed
ford. Everybody in attendance appeared to
enjoy the proceedings of the day, especially
the dinner served up at the Bedford House,
to which we had the good luck of being an
eye witness. Towards evening, Capt. IV.
came up to the " scratch" and " floored" a
few who bad become over anxious to show the
strength of their patriotism. Upon the whole,
the gathering was about as orderly as such a
gathering on such an occasion could have
been expected. The large majority of the
crowd conducted themselves in a tery be
coming manner, and returned to their homes,
no doubt, well pleased with the proceedings
of the day.
YouNG MEN AND LADIES.—An exchange,
in noticing the fact that several of our cotem
poraries are reprimanding the young men of
their towns for standing on the street corners
of evenings and staring at ladies as they pass
says :—"Now we can see no great evil in
looking at the ladies as they pass ; besides
there is no evidence that the ladies dislike to
be looked. at. We think they rather like it
of the two, else why so often on the streets
but to see and be seen ? We'll venture a dish
of strawberries and cream that if the young
men were all out of town for a month, there
would be very few young ladies' shoes want
mending during that time." More than
likely.
On Monday last, -xe were handed a
potato stock by Mr. Walsh, of this place, con
taining a striped worm about an inch long,
which eats its way through the length of the
stock, and thus destroys it. He informed us
that his entire potato crop is affected in this
way, and wishes to know if any of our farm
ers throughout the county are troubled with
the same thing. Persons wishing to see the
potato stock, or the worms, can do so, by cal
ling at our office, as Mr. Walsh has left sever
al of the "critters" with us.
TALL .4ND GOOD WHEAT.—Mr. Thomas Fish
er has left at our office a stalk of white blue
stem wheat, which measures five feet eight
inches, grown upon the ridge opposite town.
There are fifteen acres in the field, the heads
averaging from 40 to 46 grains to the head.
Mr. F. says it is the best wheat he ever saw.
Can any of our farmers beat it.
A NEw . FRUIT JAR.-T. P. Love has for
sale a new glass fruit jar, which we think is
just the thing for all who put up fruit. Call
at Love's Grocery Store and examine the Zr
tide before purchasing any other kind.

fused to publish the Association's invitation
to the public to attend.
gEr We are requested to announce that
11. Bucher Swoope, Esq., will deliver a lec
ture in this place, on Monday evening next.
Ze''. We have received a communication
from Yellow Springs, Blair co., which we will
cheerfully publish next week.
SEW' The Easton (Pa.) Express gives an in
stance of sharp finaneiering on the part of a
young man who was at that place, and wished
to visit Philadelphia. The fare by the Bel
videre, Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad is
a dollar and a half, but as the financier had
but one dollar, he purchased a ticket to New
York ; with that he came as far as Trenton ;
here he sold his ticket for two dollars, and
with fifty cents he purchased a ticket for
Philadelphia, thus not only getting the ride
for nothing, but making fifty cents by his
morning's work. That man ought to be a
Wall street broker.
The Swing as a Cure for Consumption
[From the Springtliold (',l4ass.) Republican.]
I wish to say a few words to "whom it may
concern" on the use of the swing—one of the
gymnastic exercises—as a prevention and
cure of pulmonary disease. I mean the sus
pending of the body by the hands, by means of
a strong rope a chain fastened to a beam at
one end and at the other a stick three feet
long, convenient to grasp with the hands.—
The rope should be fastened to the centre of
the stick, which should hang six or eight
inches above the head. Let a person grasp
this stick, with the hands two or three feet
apart, and swing very moderately at first—
perhaps only bear the weight, if very weak--
and gradually increase as the muscles gain
strength from the exercise, until it may be
used from three to five times daily. The con
nection of the arms with the body (with the
exception of the clavicle with the sternum or
breast bone) being a muscular attachment to
the ribs, the effect of this exercise is to ele
vate the ribs and enlarge the chest; and, as
nature allows no vacuum, the lungs expand
to fill the cavity, increasing the volume of
air—the natural purifier of the blood—and
preventing congestion or the deposit of tuber
culous matter. I have prescribed the above
for all cases of hemorrhage of the lungs and
threatened consumption for thirty-five years,
and have been able to increase the measure
of the chest from two or four inches within a
few months, and always with good results.—
But especially as a preventive I would rec
ommed this exercise. Let those who love life
cultivate a well formed, capacious chest.—
The student, the merchant, the sedentary,
the young of both sexes—aye, all should have
a swing upon which to stretch themselves
daily ; and I am morally certain that if this
were to be practised by the rising generation,
in a dress allowing a free and full develop
ment of the body, thousands, yes tens of thou
sands, would be saved from the ravages of
that opprobrium medicorwm, consumption.

An Inquest.
[From the Reading Press, June 28.]
The Coroner, John Fox, held an inquest on
the body of Charles Mathews, of Lewistown,
Mifflin county, last Friday evening. The de
ceased was found dead on the platform steps
leading to the observatory of the Mansion
House. The cause of his death is attributed
to excessive drinking. The clothing which
the deceased wore were: brown striped cas
simere pants, linen coat, a glazed cap, and
gaiter boots. His age was about 34 years;
height, about 5 feet 9 inches ; complexion,
florid ; and hair, light brown. The body
must have lain from Wednesday morning till
Friday evening, the time when it was first dis
covered, as it was not known -by the inmates
of the house until then. The door to the
platform was found locked on the inside, with
the key in the lock. The details as here giv
en we have from the Coroner himself, and
presume they are the verdict of the jury.—
The deceased was buried on Saturday morn
ing in Potter's Field.
On a board on the inside of the cupola, he
had written, evidently when he was in the
last agonies of death—
" C. S. MATHEWS.
Lewistown, Pa.
Bury me with the honors of war. I was
a soldier in Mexico."

DIODEE,N INVENTIONS.
'We know of no invention of modern times that deserves
or is destined to occupy a higher niche in the temple of
fame, than the discovery or invention of the Vegetable
Epiletic Pills for curing Epilepsy. or Falling Fits, Spasms,
Cramps, and all the various modifications of Nervous Dis
ease. Dr. Seth S. Hance, of 10S BaMinor° street, Balti
more, Md., the inventor, is certainly entitled to the best
wishes of all the benevolent portion of mankind, who ex
perience a pleasure by the alleviation of human suffering.
When Dr. Hance first prepared these Pills, ho intended
them solely for Fits, Cramps and Spasms; but subse
quent experience satisfactorily proved to hint, that in ad
dition to their remarkable sanative properties in this
class of diseases, they exerted a perfect control over the
entire nervous system. He was then induced to try them
in cases of Neuralgia, Tic-Doloreux, Nervous Headache,
Palpitation of the Heart, incipient Paralysis, Hysteria,
Muscular Debility, and a host of minor diseases, spring
ing from a lack of nervous energy, in all of which his an
ticipation were crowned with the most sanguine success.
Persons at a distance, by writing and sending a remittance
to Dr. Hance, can have the medicine forwarded by mall
to their post office address, he paying the postage. The
prices are for a single box, $3, two boxes, $5, or $24 per
dozen. We have given his address above.
DIED,
On Sabbath, 10th ult., after a lingering illness, at her
residence, three miles from Orbisonia, Mrs. ANN Joan4:v,
in the 70th year of her age.
The deceased has resided near 00 years in the same
neighborhood where she was called to rest. As a kind
friend, especially in sickness, and as a respected member
of the Presbyterian Church, she leaves the memory of her
worth with the living. They who knew her best, we be
lieve, will respect her memory most. " A mother in Is
rael has left us."

JUST PUB LISH ED.-
;NEW ;IBTIIOD FOR THE PIA.NO FORTE,
A good instruction book for the Piano haq long been
wanting, and Mr. Charles Grebe has performed the labor,
in getting this one up in a most athairabiraml salieuctory
manner. It will prove itself to be ono of the most valua
ble guides in the instruction of the tilt of playing the
Piano.
Considering the author's well known capacity, and long
and unremitting devotion to the task qf elementary teaching,
we have strong reason to hope that the public are now to
be furnished with it thorough, ,systematic, progressive, and
entertaining method for the Piano.
We can confidently recommend it to teachers and pupils
as better adapted to the purposes of elenumfary instruction
than any others with which we are acquainted.
The plan pursued in this work is substantially the same
as that developed in 011endorff's method of teaching lan
guages. It commences with the simplest elements, The
progress made will be gradual, so that every step will be
perfectly intelligible, and be rendered of positive value to
the pupil. Every difficulty is met with singly, and, after
thorough analysis, overcome by practice.
This method will, undoubtedly, provide teachers with a
well digested, progressive, and entertaining plan by which a
sound and correct knowledge of the art of playing the
piano may be acquired with comparatively little labor, and
in so short a space of time as will almost scent incredible
to those who have confined themselves to some of the
tedious systems heretofore in ass.
This work contains ten exam: red figures, illustrating the
different positions of the hands and fingers; and also a
likeness of the author•.
. _
Its typographical accuracy and appearance have nerer
been equalled in any musical work that has heretofore been
issued from the press in this or any other country.
Copies will be sent by mail, free of postage, on the re
ceipt of the marked price.

AN . D'S GERMAN BlT
rEtts," the most remarkable medicine of the (lay, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER 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 Ilootiand's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered mon of talent. lmve and do use it iu
their own families. Why should yoa, reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not you, 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 arc prepared and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son, No. 41S Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, Wtst Indies, and S(Mth America,
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signatute of C. M.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.

LATE FIRE AT DUBUQUE, lOWA,
Dyntrcznr. 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 3 o'clock, his store took fire, and the entire stock of
goods was destroyed. The heat became so suddenly in tenSe
that none of the goods could possibly be saved; but fortu
nately his books and papers, which were in one of your
Champion Safes, 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 werm r while
the outside was most severely scorched. Tours truly.
Herring's Patent Champion Fire arid Burglar:Proof Safes
with HALL'S PATENT POWDER PROOF LOCOS; afford'
the greatest security of any safe in the world. Also sid6L
board end Parlor safes, of elegant workmanship and finish,
for plate, &c.

street, to their new store, No. 629 Chestnut street. (.lAYNE's
