LOCAL & PERSONAL.
Ex-. Reporter's Visit to the Warm Springs
and Broad Top.
MY DEAR GLons:—Since you last made
your appearance, •a great many changes have
taken place. Death has spread her mantle
of sorrow' over some, while mirth and pleas
ure have invaded the household of others.—
You can elasS me with the latter, for, since I
last met you, I have visited the Warm Springs
and the Broad Top , region. Of the Warm
Springs, I have very little to say. The ac
commodations about the -house are tolerably
good. The, hills and places of resort are
good. The - ,ten -pin alley is quite animprove
merit, and persons visiting the Springs, gen
erally..,make for the ten-pin alley the first
thing. - The 'bathing apparatus was not in
operation while I was there, - (on - Friday last,)
but it was expected to have the pipes laid
and in order about -the first of this week.—
Col. Herd, the -gentlemanly proprietor; does
all in ,his power to make visitors feel comfort
able and at home. After-the proprietors of
the Springs get them fixed up properly, I
have no doubt-but that they will become a
popular place of resort. ,
On Saturday- last, at 9.25 A. M., in com
pany with four or five others, I took the Broad
Top passenger train for - Broad Top City.—
On our way up, nothing worthy of note trans
pired. The country all the way long between
this place and 'Saxton; has already been mi
nutely detailed - in - your paper, and an at
tempt, on my part, would be superfluous.—
That prince of good fellows, Col. Gum Morri
son, conducted us through to Saxton. Gum
is one of the most obliging and clever men I
ever traveled with—always in a good humor,
ready to crack, a joke at any and all times,
and with any person—and is just the man to
please, travelers. 'We arrived at Saxton
about II o'clock, where we took a branch
train for Broad, Top City. We stopped at
Coalmont, for dinner. Just here, allow me
to say'a word in regard to the Coalmont House
and its lady proprietress, Mrs. Irvin. We
expected to find a mere hut for a stopping
place at Coalmont, from the description we
had of it, but imagine our surprise, when
we stepped into the Coalmont House.—
It is as *ell *furnished a house as you will
find anywhere, and as tastefully arranged as
any one could possibly wish. We were in
troduced to the landlady, Mrs. Irvin, by our
friend and feller-citizen, Alex. Port, Esq.,
(who, by the way, accompanied us during
our day's travel, and who is a gentleman in
every sense of the word, and we wish to ten
der the thanks of the party for his kind at
tention. • We were all strangers in, that part
of the country excepting the 'Squire, who ex
plained and7showed us everything worthy of
note.) ashort time, dinner was announced,
and NYei)artii*of as good a meal as we ever sat
downtci:" 'Everything in abundance, and what
was more,it w,as cooked i na style to suit the taste
of the niOst fakidious. Mrs. Irvin deserves great
credit for the' manner in which she conducts
the house, and should - any of our friends . visit
the coal region, we would adVise them to stop
with
,Mrs, ITQIn, fer we can assure them be
forehand, that they can't help but be pleased
with the landlady, as well as her good din
ners. At one o'clock, we resumed our 'jour
ney to Broad Top City, and, after a ride of
- an hour and a half over one of the most crook
ed and winding _roads weever traveled, and
the wildest and most romantic and hilly coun
tries we ever saw; We arrived at the terminus
of-the Huntingdon & Broad Top Mountain
Railroad. , • Broad To City is between a quar
ter and half a mile from the terminus, and
we had only twenty minutes to go that dis
tone; look around, and return, before the
ears started. Leaving the frail • portion of
our ,party - in the 'car, we started on a run for
Broad TeprCity,, which place we reached,-af
ter about five minutes as fast traveling as we
ever did on foot. We bad'iat much time to
lose, ['assure you, and we made good use of
what we had. Our ever fait,hful companion,
the 'Squire,_ topic us through all the different
parlors and up to the Observatory, where we
bad a grand sight. • Broad Top City is on the
top of the Broad. Top Mountain, is perfectly
level for railetraround, and is thirteen hun
dred and fifty - feet above - llnntingdom
. Our
time being - so precious, we did not get an op
portunity of taking•thelandlord,Xr. Morri :
son;'bythe band, as we had wished ; merely
getting a glib:l4)Se Of him hoWever, be remon
strated With' some of our party, for being in such
a hurry, and informed them that if we would
only:stayawhile with him,; he would take us
.to Voidmont in a.!carriage, but we declined.
:The Hotel isas'_finea._building as you will
find in any of our cities,, and is
_conducted on
the city style.. 'The scenery' around about the
the HoteLis_SublimelYlgrand. We were in-
formed by a friend, that it is so healthy up
there,
,that : - when, persons want to die t they
have to leave the-place altogether., After a
hasty look, we returned to the, car and star
ted homeward. ~We run from the terminus
of the road to Saxton, without the aid of a lo
comotive. It is called the switchback, from
the fact that they run one way, then switch off
and run backwards and then forward again,
alternately. - The male 'portion of our party
left-the car about two. miles above Coalmont,
and visited !Squire,,Port's coal mines. We
did pct enter:as the miners were not at work,
and everything was dark, a man having been
killed the'day . before, at-the
,prospect mines,
and the minors were attendi ngthe fan eral; how
ever, the 'Squire explained everything, so that
we were perfectly satisfied, nevertheless. We
then started for Coalmont on foot.. While
traveling along, we came across a party of
men looking out a site-for a school house, and
alsO receiving bids for the erection of the some.
It was quite a novel sight, and put us in mind
of our younger days, when we used to live
in the country, to see the men scattered here
and therein groups, some perched on stumps,
while others were stretched at full length on
the ground. We arrived at Coalmont, at five
o'clock where we parfook of a splendid sup
per at the Coalmont House, under the auspi
ces of our clever hostess of noon. We never
came across a landlady before that we were
so much pleased with. If we ever visit Coal
mont again, Mrs. Irvin may set us down for
at least one meal, anyhow. At seven o'clock,
we resumed our journey to Saxton, where we
arrived one hour before car time at that place-
I don't think much of Saxton. When we
alighted from the car, our first inquiry was.
"Where is there a stopping place ?" We
Were informed that there was none. Our
party then strolled about the place a little
while, and finally brought up on the platform
of the warehouse, where we amused ourselves
as best we'could, till Gum and his train came
whizzing along frn llopewell. We felt at
home the moment we beheld the smiling phiz
of that model conductor. At eight_ o'clock,
we started for home, which place we reached
at half-past nine. Nothing occurred from
Saxton hOme, worthy of note. Wo seated
ourself comfortably, and remained so till
we reached "ye ancient borough"
A Camp Meeting is being held at Fisher's
Summit, but of what persuasion, we did not
learn. We had quite a delegation from Sax
ton to the Camp, in the evening.
Constable King was also up in the Broad
Top region, in hunt of two'of the party con
cerned in the of of stoning the cars on the
13th of July, and which we noticed two weeks
ago. lle succeeded in capturing one of them
and got "wind" of the other, but was unable
to arrest him, the fellow having heard that
Mr. King was on the look-out for him. -The
young man he arrested was brought to this
place and bound over. Mr. Ring will return
for the other one some time this week.
EX-REPORTER.
Court commences on Monday next.—
We are not informed as to what will be the
extent of business done. We hope, however,
that a large number of our country friends
will be in attendance, and that as many of
them as are in arrears for subscription and
job work, will make it suit to call on us, and
shell out tht " sweet sparkler" to the tune of
the amount of their bills. Our latch-string
will always be hanging on the outside of the
door.

last week, the first time for two , months, giv

we would like- to have you come out oftener,

were,_ ccompanied by a guitar, whiFli made
excellent music, and we hope to have the
pleasure of hearing .it repeated ere long.—

the proprietors may' find it a paying " insti

fect, and every one having any knowledge of
the milling business assures us that the work
'of the mill' must 'give customers entire satis
faction. Our farmers will certainly give it a
STRANGERS IN TowN.—For a week past a
large number of visitors on their "way to and
from the Bedford and Warm Springs have
been stopping with us,:and many of them
have expressed their astonishment at finding
the "ancient borough" a place of business,
and a place where " city folks" can feel at
home for a few days. Huntingdon will be
a place of more than usual note - when the
capital of the place is made use of to attract
the attention of capitalists from abroad.
ter There is already abundant evidence
that " the cramped condition of affairs" must
soon give place to " the good times coming."
The heavy crops are already being brought
to market, and before winter sets in, the far
mers will feel comfortable and at home.—
When our farmers can live right, everybody
else enjoys a share of their abundance, even
the printer is remembered by those in ar
rears.

A VOICE FROM VIRGINIA.
CABIN POEN; Surry Co.,
Dr. Seth S. llance :—I was in Baltimore in April, 1851,
and from a paper I received of yours was induced to buy a
box of your Pills, recommended as a sovereign cure for the
Epileptic Mt g. At that time one of my servants had been
nillcted witin fits about twelve years. When reaching
home, I commenced with the pills according to. directions.
Ido not think she has had once since. Any wife, though,
somewhat induced to believe she may have had one only.
Enclosed you will find five dollars, for which you will
please forward me two boxes. I suppose you can forward
them by mail, Your compliance will oblige me. Yours
respectfully. M. P. SLEDGE.
Dr. Hance's Epileptic Pills are also a sovereign remedy for
every mortification of nervous, diseases. The nervous suf
ferer whether tormented by the acute, physical agony of
neuralgia, ticdoloreux, or ordinary headache, afflicted with
vague terrors, weakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible las
situde which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or
experiencing any other pain of disability arising from the
unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which
connects every member with the source of sensation, MG
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use
of those pills, which at once calms, invigorates, and regu
lates the shattered nervous organization.

THE SALAMANDER SAFES OF PHILADELPHIA
AGAINST THE WORLD.
EVANS & WATSON
Have had the surest demonstration in the following cer
tificate that their,manufacture of Salamander Safes has at
length fully warranted the representations which have
been made of them ai9 rendering 'an undoubted security
against the terrific ailment :
Philadelphia, April 12th, ME.
Messrs. Evens l WsTsoN—Gentlemen—lt affords us the
highest satisfaction to state to you, that owing to the very
protective qualities of two of the Salamander Safes which
we purchased of you seine few months since, we saved a
large portion of our jewelry, ned all our books, papers, ac.,
exposed to the calamitous fire in Ranstead Place, on the
morning of the 11th instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were located in the
fourth story' of the building we occupied, and that they
fell subsequently into a heap of burning ruins, where the
vast concentration of heat caused 'the brass plates to melt,
we cannot hut regard the preservation' of their valuable
contents as most convincing proof of the great security
afforded by your Safes.
, We shall take much pleasure in recommending them to
men of business as a sure reliance against fire'
