Ja..qi.r. Prof. M. MeN. Walsh, the Principal
of the Cassville Seminary, has recently been
honored with.the degree of Master of Arts,
by one of the Colleges in New York.
IL seems his friends in New York, made a
complete surprise of it, for he knew nothing
about their intention to procure the honor,
until it was actually conferred. They then
got some person, whose writing he could not
recognize, to address an envelope to " Prof.
M. MoN. Walsh, A. M.," and inclosed a fancy
sheet of note paper, on which were printed
the following words: "If a warrior who has
won many trophies, will not ask for the hon
ors which he deserves, his friends beg leave
to proffer them, and the plumes which they
bring unsolicited, it is hoped, he will not re
fuse to wear." No names were given, and
Mr. Walsh entirely in the dark, cannot even
surmise to whom he is indebted for the honor.
GOOD TIMES COMING.-Our friends from the
country report the grain crop heavier than it
has been for many years. True, some farm
ers have not been as fortunato as others, but,
taking the yield in the aggregate, the crop is
immense.
Seir . A fine specimen of tall wheat has been
left at our office by Mr. John Reynolds, taken
from Walker McCahan's field, near the Ju
niata bridge.. 'The•stalks measures 5 feet SA:

Essay, by 11. W. Miller.
Music--" Before all Lauds in East or West"
—by the Continentals.
The following Regular Toasts were read
by J. Simpson Africa:-
Ist. The Day Ice Celebrate.—On the glorious
Fourth day of .Itt . y, 1770, was realized the pro
phetic inquiry: "Shall a nation be born at once ?"
and as the old State House Bell rang out its
merry peals over the city of Penn, it signalized
the birth of a free nation. May the annual re
currence of this day lain.. n with it the homage
and adoration of a, free and happy people.
2d. The President of the United Staten—The
Representative of the people—invested with
their power; may he exercise it only in their
elevation, advancement and defence.
ffd. The Covernor of Pennsylvania—The ruler
of three millions of freemen, may he maintain
the integrity of the Commonwealth, protect the
honor of the people and faithfully execute the
laws.
Ith. Our Country—The birthplace of freemen
and the secure refuge of the oppressed ; extend
ing front the frozen shores of the St. John's to
the eternal summer of the Rio Grande, and from
the barren rock of Plymouth to the Ophir of the
West, it affords a rich field for every variety of
labor. May the clays of her prosperity never
cease.
3th. Liberty--The legacy of our patriot fath
ers, purchased at the cost of lives and at the
sacrifice of official position, the comforts of home
and the advantages of wealth. We should guard
it carefully.
oth. The Signer-8Y the Declaration—The noble
fifty-six who knew the right, :cud knowing, dared
to assert it. Their names shall ever be enshri
' ned by a wreath of glory. May they be to all
Melt, W.:l - thy examples of patriotism.
7th. Peitiwyfrania—ln devotion to the con
federacy she admits no superior. In the jar of
sectional discord, her conservative voice is heard
calming the turbulent threatenings or dissolu
-6.011. in Agriculture, Manufactures. and Edu
cation, site fears no rival ; her mineral wealth
is beyond computation. May the sari of pros
perity forever shine upon her.
Bth. Our Xatiunal Env:viz.—Originally thir
teen stars glittered in our national constellation ;
this day that number has augmented to thirty
three bright luminaries; may it ever, its it floats
from our 111:1A-11C:111S, bill-tops and spires, excite
the just admiration of every American heart.
9th. The Constitation—The corner-stone of our
political fabric, the Gibralter of the government
upon which the shafts of envy, the fires of see
tionalism and the bitter contests of party, fill
harmless. May its great principles and com
promises never be violated.
10th. The Ladies.—ln the gloomy days of the
Revolution, the noble mothers and fair daugh
ters of the Colonies supported the brave and
encouraged the doubtful in resistance to the
tyranny of King George, his hired minions and
his mercenary supporters. The sex has not
abated in patriotism. May they continue to
love our happy land, and not fail to exert their
genial influence over the minds of the sterner
sex, and incite them to devotion to their coun
try.
11th. The Press—The freeman's pride, the
tyrant's fear; may it ever be found eat-nest in
the advocacy of right, and fearless in the expo
sition of wrung.
12th. "The Ancient Borough."—The Indian
wigwam has been supplanted by temples of
learning and religion ; the sounds of the sharp
cracking rifle and the savage war-whoop have
yielded to the melody of the white man's anthem
of patriotism. Ninety-two fears ago, the Sur
veyor, with his compass, struck the lines of the
town of Ituntinodon ; before the present century
we became a borough. Iles progress, though
slow and measured, has always been sure; in
devotion to our country her‘titizens admit no
superior.
13th. The Blete Juniata—Emanating from a-
mong the towering peaks of the Alleghenies on
its way to the great father of waters, it flows by
the peaceful cottage, the rumbling mill and the
noisy thrge. Once its banks were the habitation
of the savage,—now they arc the seats of in
dustry, science and learning. May peace, hap
piness and prosperity reign itt its beautiful val
ley as lung as its waters continue to flow.
VOLUNTEER. TOASTS.
By Col. T P. Campbell:
As the American doctrine, that the flag covers
the cargo, commands the assent of the country,
much more should that, that it folds, as an m
gis the person ef the citizen;—humanity above
goods, always.
By John Scott, Esq.:
Virtue and Intelligence: the Jachin and Boaz of
the Temple of Freedom.—May they have many
such institutions to promote them as the "Stand
ing-Stone Literary Association."
By A. L. Grim:
The Soldiers of the second war of Independence:
Seared like the autumn leaf, by the hand of
time, ripened like the bending cereal, prepared
to be gathered to the garner of their hope. May
the recollection of their generous valor, in de
fence of their country, be ever green in the
hearts of a grateful people.
By J. Simpson Africa :
The Soldiers of the Revolution.—No privation
was too great—no sacrifice too much, for them
to endure, to wrest the last vestige of despotism
from fair America. Their foot-prints, crimsoned
with blood at Valley Forge and on the burning
sands at Eutaw Springs, speak louder than
words in testimony of their - valor. May their
memory forever remain green in the hearts of
grateful countrymen.
By A. W. Benedict, Esq. :
John Paulding, David Williams, and Isaac
Van TVcrt, the captors of Major Andre.—Tribute
to their memory should be the annual offering
of every American heart: Neither gold nor
glory could corrupt them. •
By a Lady :
The Standing-stone Literary Association.—May
its members be as faithful as the hearts of true
A o ericans to Vie Fourth of July.
By B. M. Speer :
Woman.—Creation's sweetest riddle ; remain
just as thou art, man's only worthy gain.
By A. L. Grim :
The Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad—The
avenue through which is reached the Ophir of
our county; the connecting link which binds us
to the Atlantic States. May its increasing pros
perity in the development of our slumbering
wealth, be handed down as a rich legacy to fu
ture generations.
By H. T. White:
Ladies—May your courage be as animating
as your faces.
The following resolutions were offered, read
and unanimously passed by the Association :
Resolved, That the heartfelt thanks of the
Association be, and they are hereby tendered
to the ladies of Huntingdon, to whose exquisite
taste and skil l ful hands we owe the decorations
which gramahis Hall, and to the citizens, who
have robbed their parlors to heighten the inter
est of the occasion by portraits of the men and
pictures of scenes of the P...,-rolutionary period.

have so charmingly enlivened our exercises by
"the -;.meord of sweet sounds" which they have

are hereby tendered to the Commissioners of
Huntingdon County for generously granting the
use of this Hall for the present occasion.

have given of their interest in the success o: the

After the adjournment of the Association, it
was ordered by the audience, on motion of T.
S. Mc:Callan, that the proceedings of the meet

the town.
THE LECTURE. —On Monday evening, ac
cording to previous announcement, H. Buch
er Swoope, Esq., of Clearfield, delivered a
lecture in the Town Hall, before the members
of the Standing-Stone Literary Association,
on "The History, Philosophy and Poetry of
the Bible."
An invitation having been extended to the
public to attend, the Hall was early filled with
an intelligent and appreciative audience, anx
ious to hear this talented gentleman touch so
sacred and interesting a topic. The meeting
was called to order by the President, J. Simp
son Africa, after which a prayer was offered
to the Throne of Grace, by Rev. Zahnizer,
of the Presbyterian Church. The President,
in a few appropriate remarks, stated the ob
ject of the meeting and intimated the inten
tion of the Association to give, at a proper
:,eason, a series of public lectures. He con
cluded, by introducing Mr. Swoope to the au
dience, who proceeded to deliver his lecture
in that earnest, forcible and eloquent man
ner which characterizes all his public ad
dresses. Our pen is unable to adequately
describe the beauty, truthfulness and sublim
ity of the discourse ; it must be heard to be
appreciated.
After the conclusion of the address, the
following resolutions were offered by J. D.
Campbell, and were unanimously adopted viz:
EIIEAS, The Standing• Stone Literary
Association have been the recipients, at the
hands of J. Nelson Ball, of a beautiful ivory
headed gavel and marble block ; therefore be

Resolved, That we hereby tender to Mr.
Ball our sincere thanks for his disinterested
kindness and that we hereby extend to him an
invitation to attend the meetings of the asso
ciation at all times when it may be his pleas
ure so to do, and,
Ve.yared, Tlrat a copy of these resolutions
he furnished to Mr. Ball, that they be recor
ded in the minutes of the next meeting, and
that the original be filed in the Library of
the Association.
The entertainment was concluded with a
benediction, and the audience separated, well
pleased with the exercises of the evening.—
Good order, whieh of late has been a rare
quality in public assemblages in this town,
prevailed during the evening, and evinced
that proper respect due to the Lecturer and
the Association.
The " Standing-Stoue" is receiving the
the merited praise of its well earned reputa
tion. The members have ever shown energy,
faithfulness and industry in the ordinary trans
actions of the Association, and on public oc
casions have acquitted themselves with high
honor. We wish it God-speed, and hope ever
to be a faithful chonieler of its continued
success
'WALKING PARTIES.—On Thursday evening
last a party of our young folks visited Whit
6a:ors old Mill, about two miles from town.
We learn they had a good time.
On Saturday evening, the younger portion
of our young folks bad a good time at MeCa-
Ilan's Grove. There is a good swing at the
Grove, and there is no more healthier exer
cise than swinging. Welike to see our young
folks enjoy themselves, and had we the get
ting up of walking parties, and such like, we
would have the ladies out every evening. It
would do them good. When will the next
party come off?
BROAD Tor COAL FOR FRANCE.—Messrs.
Blair and Wigton of this place, operators in
Broad Top Coal, are now loading a vessel in
Philadelphia for Marseilles, France. This is

EPILEPSY, OE FALLING FITS.
'We believe we cannot do our readers a more important
service, than by again calling their attention to that most
remarkable preparation, discovered by Dr. ~tit S. Hance,
of Baltimore, Md., which possesses the power of allevia
ting and curing that horrid visitation of man—Epilepsy,
or Falling Fits. In recommending this preparation to our
readers, we do so with a conviction that we are not degra
ding our columns to puff a common patent medicine, but
are placing before them adiscovery, which, if fully known,
would probably do more to alleviate human suffering,
than ally invention of modern times. Dr. Hance, in ask
ing us to notice his preparation favorably in our editorial
department, has sent us for perusal a number of letters
from persons who have used his Pills. and have been cur
ed thereby. All of them speak in the most grateful and
eulogistic terms. One great advantage this medicine pos
sesses is the fact, that it can be transported through the
mails, therby affording every one an opportunity of deal
ing directly with the inventor, and also precluding all pos
sibility of being imposed on by a counterfeit or spurious
imitation. Dr. Hance pays the postage on his Pills to any
part of the country, and will forward them by return of
mail, on the receipt of a remittance. His prices are as fol
lows: One box, $3; two do., $5; twelve do., $:24. All or
ders for the medicine should be addressed to Sr.m S.
