THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JO
'TIT:E GLOBE.
Huntingdon,-Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1859.
IEOCATA & PERSONAIi.
AN INCIDENT.--Th e e
life of editors lind
re
porters is truly a chequered one; and to show
our readers one of the many backsets they
have to contend with, the local will narrate,. a
little incident that happened' him in - the Court
House . last Friday evening. We would state
for the gr'atific - ation of our readers, that the
other hero of our little incident, once distin
guished himself by getting up a map of Hun
tingdon county; and whom 'we happened to
recognize, though not perionally acquainted
and; by the' . waiY,' we had the advafitage of
him, for he didn't know us. We entered the
Court room (not as a felon, but as a specta
tor) and took our seat behind the said gentle
man. Nothing happened to mar our pleasure
until after a certain worthy functionary of
the Court came and 'spoke to the gentleman.
We also : bid the time of day. After the
furictionary had addressed a few words to the
gentleman, he left the room, when the man
turned round abruptly to us, and said :
' " Are you concerned in this case ?" (mean:
ing the one then before the Court.)
" No sir."
" Do you live in town ?"
" Yes, sir.'!.
" Are you engaged in business 2" '
".3Ces,sir." - . ,
" What business are you engaged in ?"
" Printing." '
" What office 7"
"'The Globe."
"Are you what they call the devil?"
We hesitated a moment at this question,
'stroked: our beard gently, and finally answer
ed-in a,'clear, manly tone, " No, sir." Just
at this moFnent, the Court-ing gentleman re
turned aaidstopped to speak with our inquis
itive stranger again, thus interrupting him
in his interrogatories with us, and we took
our hat and loft, fearing he might. cross-ques
tion us; and thinking in our own mind, that
we had justas good a right to sit there with
out being questioned as to our business, as
he had.
PROF. CorLE's CONCERTS.—The Concerts
given by Prof. Coyle and his class of young
ladies and. Misses, on Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings last, were received with great
eclat, by large'and appreciative audiences.—
We never, saw the Hall so crowded, as on
these occasions. The ladies acquitted them
selveS to the honor and credit of both teacher
and pupil. The class of little Misses per
formed admirably ; and should they be kept
under: the instruction of the Professor for a
short time, we predict for them a place in
the first ranks of the musical world. In fact,
the whole class displayed no small amount
of musical talent. The stage, too,' should
not be passed by •without notice. It is an
old saying that where the hand of woman
predominates, neatness, cleanliness, and good
taste is bound to prevail. Just so in - this
case. It was a most . handsomely gotten up
affair. Indeed, so comfortable and tidy was
it, that 'nobody but a crusty old bachelor
would eve'• think of attributing the taste and
skill 'displayed thereon, to anyone but to the
ladies. The whole affair was one of the most
successful ever gotten up in this place.
The nettprofits of the two nights, after all
expenses were paid, amounted to something
like $4O ; and as the money belonged to the
ladies, they met on Saturday evening last, to
agree 'upon what they would do with it, and
without a-: dissenting voice, agreed to take
the money, purchase a watch, and present it
to-Prof. Coyle, as a slight token of their high
esteem and appreciation of him as a gentle
man and a teacher.
slay- We would"now, as we have on nu
merous former occasions, 'entreat boYs who
wish 'to be happy and respected, to refrain
from spending their time in idlenesS and on
the streets, especially after nightfall. Such
a course is ruinous both to their health and
morals. Under the cover of night, in an un
healthy and ' excited state of mind, they are
almost certain to acquire profane, vulgar and
obscene practices, criminal 'sentiments, and a
lawless and riotons bearing, that will surely
forfeit the confidence and esteem of the wise
and good, render them suited to the society of
the bad and dissolute, and, bring them at
last before the Bar of Justice as degraded
criminals. Let them rather seek the compa
ny of the virtuous and good, and the pleasures
of the family fireside. Let them read good
books, and therefore, store their minds with
useful knowledge, and qualify themselves for
honest and honorable citizenship. Let them
do this, and our word for it, their youthful
hours:will glide away pleasantly, they will
become. respected and happy, and never re
gret reading these lines penned for their spe
cial benefit. -
There js not a few boys in Hunting
don, who should never be permitted to enter
a place of amusement where good order and
decency should be observed—neither should
they be allowed to display their rowdyism
outside of public places to the annoyance of
respectable 'people inside.
.It does appear
that such boys do as they please wherever
they go, and that the men who should keep
order are afraid of them.
Se - Ex-Sheriff Greenland who was severe
ly injured some days ago, •we are happy to
know, is rapidly recovering, bat is still con
fined to his fled•
WE AT DOES IT MEAN ?-:---IVO have been in
formed by several persons that during two
or three weeks past, a number of men fully
uniformed likp regular soldiers, with rifles,
'pistols and kriiies by their sides, have been
repeatedly seen on the mountains in Spring
field' township in this county:, 'They go to
farm houses and get'their meals and paY lib
erally. They have , intimated that they are a
few of a large number preparing to rescue
Brown or punish his persecutors.

they can save money by buying their Books

to order new supplies almost every - day, to

the people of the county. No " mammoth"

on what is saleable. Call and examine stock
and 'prices. •

the duties of the office this week, and his
place will be filled by Gen. John C. Watson,
who, we hope and believe, will discharge2tho
duties to the satisfaction •of the people of the
county. Sheriff Miller has made a most ex
cellent and popular officer, and well deserves
the warm friendship of his fellow-citizens,
irrespective of party. ,

at a very trifling expense.
Postmaster Colon erected a Washing
ton contribution box in the Post Office, on
Friday last, and on 'Monday evening, there
was a . dollar and ten cents in it. Good. for
the " ancient borough," she has taken the
right step, and we give her credit for it.
;AD"' Brother Jolly, editor and proprietor
of the Tyrone Star, paid us a pop visit last
week. Twenty-nine , years ago, we were
neighborS in old Montgomery, but we did
not think then, that in the course of time we
should rise to be publishers of the two best
papers in neighboring counties.
We received a communication from
cg Populus," giving the particulars of the af
fray in West township, which is not materi
ally different from the account we have al
ready given, and therefore deem it unneces
sary to publish it.
tar- Dr. Mackenzie's. Lecture before the
Standing-Stone Literary Society, on 'Thurs
day evening last, was pretty well attended,
and .is highly spoken of, by persons who were
near enough to hear everything he said,. As
is usual at all gatherings at the Court House,
the boys made the most noise.
The Home String Band were well
patronized last evening. The house was,
filled to overflowing. Their music was sweet
and charming, and could not fail to delight
the listener. They will give another concert
to-night.
Xter Admitted, last week James D. Camp
bell, James 11. 0. Corbin and R. Milton Speer,

to their profession.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
RoclvxEw, Nov. .12, 1859
MR. Eorroß:—Last season being one fa
vorable to
,aila,bandant crop of wortleberries,
a great many of our neighbors and their chil
dren sought to roam over "Warriorsridge"
for a " few." Among -the number was a
gentleman (friend) who concluddd to take a
pleasure trip to-the " Ridge" _for a quart or
two of the delicious berries, but thinking
pleasure could not be found on "footback,"
as he termed it, he succeeded in bridling a
stray jack - , (that had been browsing on our
plantation:for a number of days, arid annoy
ing us every morning with his harsh music,)
with the intention of , going on "jack-back."
After accomplishing all that was needful, he
mounted his "steed" and started, to the , great
joy of the bystanders. Not knowing how he
enjoyed his trip until the other day, I shall
give it in his own words; as found among his
writings. Hear it :
Up the ridge I wended my way—
Though occasionally the jackass Would bray,
I cared not for that, but used well the cowhide,
And determined on having a right pleasant rido.
Arriving safely at the top of the hill,
I eagerly proceeded my belly to till;
This accomplished, I started for home, •
Safely arrived, and sent the jackass to roam.
Sot the dogs on—out the lane they went,
And the poor old jack to Ida feelings gave vent,
In a "yell" which appeared his thrappleto rent

MR. EDITOR :—The Franklin Teachers' In
stitute held its' third 'session . at Coleraine
Forge, on Friday evening, Nov. 11,1850.
Mr. Clarke occupied the chair. • Rev: A. B.
Miller; teacher :of the Coleraine school,.open
ed the evening's exercises with an interesting
and instructive oration, subject—" Youth.—
As his superior talent is well known to the
public, it is needless to say that we Were all
delighted to hear him speak. Suitable to the
occasion, he had his :scholars; numbering
aboutseventy-five, systematically arranged bet;
fore him, behind which were his patrons and
a crowd, of spectators. At the close of his
address we were char Med by the sweet voices
of his little girls, .who' united in singing a:de
lightful and appropriate song. The follow
ing subject was then introduced for discus
sion : Resolved, That 'parents should-be
compelled to send to school;?' It was argued
in a very spirited manner, by both citizens
and teachers, but the true friends of educa
tion were numerous and the affirmative tri
umphed. The following day was occupied
with discussions upon various subjects. A
goodly number of the citizens and scholars
being present, contributed greatly to the in
terest of the session. Before adjournment
the following reSolution was, adopted : Re-
Solved, That we, as an association, tender our
hearty thanks to the citizens of Coleraine for
their kindness and hospitality.

MECHANICSVILLE, Nov.-18, 1859.
MR. EDITOR :—The Ladies' Literary So
cial Circle, of this place, gave select perfor- ,
mance on Monday evening of this week. It
was truly a rich literary feast. The exerci
ses consisted of Reading, Essay ,and Recite
tion,. in all of which were displayed an emi,
nent degree of cultivated taste and talent,
and unaffected modesty. The sweetest charm
of female excellence; characterized every per
former. At. the - close of their exercises, Rev.
J. S. Beyer, their chosen speaker, delivered
an address that did honor to the 'circle and
won the esteem and applause - of the entire
audience. We believe that the design of the
circle,is to promote literature, to prepare its
members to meet' the claims of society, and
fit them to discharge the active duties of life,
and'as such it merits the warmest respect and
approbation of the people. Female educa
tion -possesses a real worth that can not be
too highly prized, it gladdens and elevates so
ciety, and breathes life, hope and harmony
around. the domestic hearth.
The Circle is now raising a library, and
contributions will be thankfully received.—
Grateful thanks are tendered to Messrs.
Win: Lewis and R. Milton Speer, for their
liberal contributions—would that such 'true
friends of education were more numerous.

• To THE PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSTLYANIA AGRICULTURAL
Sectur z—The subscribers, your committee to examine the
contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans G Watson, after
being exposed to a strong fire on the Fair Grounds for eight
hours, respectfully represent—
That after seven cords of oak wood and three of pine
had been consumed around the Snfe, it was opened in the
presence of the committee, and the contents taken out, a
little warmed, but not even scorched.
Several Silver Medals heretofore received by the manu
facturers, and a large quantity of documents were in the
Safe, and came out entirely uninjured.
The experiment satisfied us of the capacity of Safes of
this kind to protect contents from any fire to which they
may be exposed.
The Cotnmitceo awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

Garrett, of our city, some nine months ago, was severely
tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they
had a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder,
they did not succeed in opening the Safe. The lock being
one of "Hall's Patent Powder-proof," they could not got
the powder into it, but drilled a hole in•the lower panel
and forced in a large charge, which was ignited, and al
though the door, inside and out, showed the explosion not

Messrs. EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gen lenten—lt affords mo great pleasure to say to you
that the Salamander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 1858, proved to be what yon recommended it—
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground its March last.—
The Safe fell through into the cellar, and was exposed to
intense heat for six or eight hours, and when it was taken
from the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to
be in a perfect state, the 'books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheorfullY recommend your
Sates to the community, believing, as I do, that they arc
as near tire-proof as it is possible for any Safe to ho made.

Bulletin of testimonials in favor of this unique work,
which has already attained an unprecedented popularity.
From "The Musical Review," New York.
We must confess that we are naturally not very favora
bly inclined to new methods for the piano. We have had
so many instructions during the last twenty years, that
we really think mankind ought, at least, to know how to
play the piano -forte. However, Mr. (robe's book has
somewhat altered our mind. It offers really something
new, containing some truth we have not met with until
now in any other method. It adheres for °nal° the prin
ciple, "Tussos BEFORE SIGNS." Ile justly says, 'The reality
(playing) should come first, and the things which belong
to notation should follow.' This is excellent. This is just.
This is true and natural. The whole system is based upon
this principle—always with special regard to the primary
instruction in the art of playing the piano. It is for this
reason that such matters as belong to a more advanced pe
riod in the player's art are excluded, and will follow in
another book. The music in the book practically illus
trates the principle of the author. The whole is to the
point, and will be found extremely useful."
From "The Musical World," New York.
"First, we find a very sensible preface, in the course of
which a list is given of the most distinguished of his pre
decessors in the book-making and piano-teaching profes
sion—the date of their birth and death being not forgot
ten. Mr. Grobe is doubtless better posted in the matter
of musical biography than any other musical man. We
find, next, some excellent advice to teachers, which we
should like to transcribe to our columns. had we space.—
Mr. Grobe's admirable book is, on the whole, heartily to
be recommended to the musical public.
From "The Daily Picayune," New Orleans.
"Mr. Grobe stands very high as a professor cud teacher,
and composer for the piano. The book he now gives to the
public bears upon its face, to every experienced and prac.
tised eye, conviction that there is a valuable addition to
the rudimentary musical lore of the country and the
world. A better primary instructor in the art, and espe
cially in the science of piano-playing, has never before
been published."
From "The Public Ledger." Philadelphia.
"Lee ,F 6 Walker have published Professor Charles Grobe's
New Method for the Piano, which is one of the best ele
mentary works upon the subject extant. Mr. Grobe is a
thorough master of his subject, and he leads the pupils
pleasantly through the task, by making it clear, simple,
progreSsive and practical."
Copies will be sent by mail, free of postage, on the re
ceipt of the marked price. '
