LOCAL & PERSONAL.
see. The Altoonians are going to have a
grand jubilee on the 15th inst., in commem
oration of the introduction of gas and water
works into that borough. The Tribune says
that large preparations are being made, that
all the military of the country are to be pres
ent, besides the different orders, public
schools, &c., of that place, will turn out. In
vitations have been extended abroad to sever
al military companies, brass bands, &c., all
of which have signified their intention of at
tending the• jubilee. The Brass and String
Bands'of this place have also been invited,
and we learn they have signified their inten
tion of being on hand. In the evening a
grand illumination will take place. Excur
sion tickets will be issued from all stations
between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, good
from the 14th to the 16th, inclusive. .-
bar A• soiree was given in the Court
House, on Thursday evening last, by Messrs.
Godbold, Haas and Barrett, of Harrisburg.
They were assisted by the Home String Band
of this place. Mr. Haas, the pianist, is an
excellent performer. Mr. Barrett, the vio
linist, is a skillful musician, and can make
the fiddle almost talk. His playing is some
thing in the opera style, and cannot fail to
please the refined and cultivated ear. Some
of our young ladies, (what is entertaining
without them ?) to make the entertainment
still more acceptable, generously consented
to sing for them, which they did, in a man
ner highly creditable, both to themselVes and
to the reputation of our musical village. Al!
in all, the entertainment was one highly
pleasing to the most fastidious.
SriEr It is not often we write about the
weather, for the reason that we believe every
body else has the same opportunity of seeing
and feeling the different changes, as we have,
but sometimes it deserves a notice for its ca
pers, and we have determined to give it one
for its last prank. We have had most de
lightful weather until a few days back. On
Saturday afternoon last it commenced rain
ing and sleeting and continued so nearly all
day Sunday, making it anythinl but agreea
ble to be out.
186rOn Saturday evening last, we eat, at
G. Ashman Miller's Saloon, the largest oys
ters we ever saw in town. The Saloon is
gotten up in the most exquisite style, for
both ladies and gentlemen, the " fixins" of
the best quality, and with the accomplished
waiter, Peter Johnson, as "chief cook and
bottle washer," everything is done up in
grand order.
ter Our young folks have already com
menced their winter sports. We say "go it
while you're young, for when you're old you
can't." There is nothing we like to see bet
ter than for young folks to congregate to
gether and enjoy themselves in innocent
amusements. There is nothing will give you
more life and vigor, than these self-same little
;sociable parties.
DEATH or JUDGE BREWSTER.—We regret to
learn that 'Hon, John Brewster died at his
residence in Shirleysburg, on Monday morn
ing,last, after a few days' illness. The Judge,
we should suppose, was between 65 and 70
years of age. The vacancy on the Bench
will have to be filled by appointment by Gov.
Packer.
A FREE LECTURE.---T. Morris Chester, (a
colored. gentleman,) Attorney-at-law, and edi
tor of the &zr of Liberia, will deliver a Lec
ture in the Court House on to-morrow (Thurs
day) evening. Mr. Chester has but lately re
turned from Liberia, and, we have no doubt,
his lecture will be interesting.
FOOT SMASICIED.-MT. Wm. White, of Smith
field, had his right foot badly crushed on
Tuesday last. He was standing on the hind
wheel of a wagon, for some purpose or other,
when the--horses started, causing his foot to
get between the spokes of the wheel and the
wagon bed, bruising it in a frightful manner.
A LECTURE. - 11. J. Jones, Esq., of Holli
daysburg, will deliver a Lecture in the Court
Rouse, this (Wednesday) evening. Subject
—" Our Country—lts Destiny." The Lec
ture was delivered in Ebensburg last week,
and drew a successful house.
Sar We learn that the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company are making arrangements for
lighting their passenger cars with gas.—
This is a good idea, and passengers will find
it a decided improvement upon the old oil
lamp system of illlumination.
Ili Owing to the crowded state of our col
umns, several articles of importance are un
avoidably crowded out ; among the rest, is
" Leroy'a" letter. We • will try • and make
room for it next week.

Message of the Governor of South Car-
The following is an extract from the annu
al message of the Governor of South Caroli
na, just presented to the Legislature of that
State :
" What, then, it may be asked, should
South Carolina do in view of the crisis now
approaching (and in my opinion fearfully
near,) to save her institutions from destruc
tion, and afford safety and security to her
people ? Would to God that I were able to
give a satisfactory answer to this momentous
question, and thus be the humble instrument
to avert the impending danger; but I must
confess my utter inability to point out the
path of honor and safety, in the midst of the
difficulties that surround us.
" With a united South our course would
be clear, and our future glorious ; we could
enforce equality in the Union, or maintain
our independence out of it. If, as I solemn
ly believe, we can no longer live in peace and
harmony in the Union—notwithstanding the
associations of the past, and the remembrance
of our common triumphs, (being treated as
enemies and aliens, rather than brethren of
the same family, and heirs of the same inher
itance by the North,)—we can form a Con
federacy with ability to protect itself against
any enemy, and command the respect and
admiration of the world. This proud posi
tion is only to be obtained by a strict adhe
rence to law and duty ; and while South Car
olina insists on the other States carrying out
their constitutional obligations, she should
be careful to do her whole duty, and carry
out in good faith all her obligations to her
sister States and the Federal Government,
by discouraging all attempts to evade the
laws, under any pretence whatever. While
in the Union we should comply with all the
laws of Congress until they are pronounced
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, or
our people are released from their binding
obligations by the constituted authorities of
the State ; and it would be an arrogant as
sumption on the part of individuals to set up
their opinions of the constitutionality of a law
as their rule of action. We should not imi
tate the example of the North in setting up a
' higher law,' but retain the proud position
we have always occupied, and it will give
self-satisfaction, an approving conscience, and
moral power to achieve victory. In prepar
ing for any emergency that may arise, I would
respectively recommend you, at an early pe
riod, to take such measures as, in your wis
dom, you may deem proper and expedient,
to obtain the co-operation of the Southern
States in concerted notion, in defence of our
institutions whenever they may be put in
jeopardy by all the departments of the Gov
ernment passing into the hands of our ene
mies.
" The election of a Black Republican Pres
ident will settle the question of our safety in
the Union ; and although the forms of the
Constitution may he complied with, its vital
principle will be extinguished, and the South
must consent to occupy an inferior and de
grading position, or seek new safeguards for
future security. Let South Carolina exhaust
every means to get the co-operation or the
Southern States in this vital and important
movement, yielding everything but principle
for that purpose, prepared to follow any lead
in resistance ; but she should never forget
that she is a sovereign and an equal—that by
her sovereign act she created the relationship
of the State that now exists in the Federal
Union, and that she has a clear and unques
tionable right to resume her position as a sov
ereign in the family of nations,"
A Night in a Pigeon Roost.
Just now the -wild pigeons roost in innu
merable numbers in the Chenango Swamp,
Crawford county, Pa., about ten miles long
by two or three wide, grown up with tamer
ack or larch trees and alder bushes. The
editor of the Ashtabula (0.) Sentinel has
been among the pigeons. lle says:
When within two miles of the roosting
place, we began to bear the roar of the wings
of the millions of birds here congregated,
which literally equalled the roar of Niagara.
But the sights and sounds that greeted us as
we neared the swamp, beggars description.
There were probably a hundred hunters
assembled and at work. These were divided
into parties of not more than two or three
—some in the tameracks, and some in the
alders. At a shot in the bushes the birds
rose in a mass and settled in these trees ; and
when fired upon there they flew to the bush
es. This changing continued all night. At
a single shot, the flock always rose and flew
a short distance to settle or be fired up again.
This scene lasted -all night. The usual mode
of hunting the pigeons is for two men to go
together—one pith a gun, and the other with
a bag and lanthorn and matches. As soon as
the shot is fired, the bag man strikes a light
and " bags" the birds ; and this must be done
speedily or the wounded ones will hide and
be lost. Six dozen is quite a heavy load for
any man. We " gin eout" under five dozen,
very soon. We were told to fire with one
barrel at the bushes, and with the other at the
" bile up." The term boil up, is a very nat
ural one, for at every shot the flock will rise
straight upward, and after circling a few
moments, make a sweeping course, and then
alight perhaps within a few yards of where
they rose. The number killed seems almost
incredible: One man killed four dozen at a
single shot, and nine hundred in the night.
SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.—ProposaI

BENEVOLENCE.
We do not think a person can evince a more benevolent
trait of character than being moved at the distress and
suffering of others, and furthermore, anxious to do all in
their power to alleviate by every possible means human
suffering. In this view of the case, we do not know how
the humane and benevolent can do an action more in ac
cordance with their philanthropic views, than by calling
the attention of their afflicted friends and acquaintances.
to the fact, that Dr. SETH S.lLute; of 108 Baltimore street,
Baltimore, Md., has discovered a preparation, which is put
up in the form of a pill, that has a specific action for
curing Epilepsy, or falling fits, spasms, cramps, and all
forms of nervous diseases. Among those who have been
permanently cured, we might mention a member of the
family of James IL Beadle, Huntsville, Alabama; Mr. N.
P. Sledge, Cabin Point, Burry county, Va., and Mr. W. P.
Ligon, Grenada, Missouri. We might go on enumerating
a number of others, until we had entirety filled up this
column of our paper; but we think we have said sufficient
to satisfy every person that the subject under considera
tion is one of vital importance to every one. Reader! if
you are a well man or woman, and have no need of a rem
edy, perhaps you know some person who is not equally
blessed as yourself, if so, cut out this notice, and send it
to him or her. It will cost you but little trouble, and
probably it will make you instrumental in curing some
poor, afflicted mortal of that dreadful visitation, Epilepsy
or falling sickness,
Dr. Hance sends his pills by mail, free of postage, to all
parts of the world, on the receipt of a remittance. His
prices are: one box, $3; two, $5; twelve, $24. We have
given his address above.

had been consumed around the Safe, 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 Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 17, 1859.—Messrs. Evens & WAS
SON, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen:—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your
manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris &
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 get
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
to have beer a small one, it was not forced open. We sup
pose they were the greater part of the night at work on
it. We are much gratified at the result of the attempt to
enter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you are
at liberty to use them. Yours, truly,
BAYNARD & JONES.
GREAT FIRE!—ANOTFIER
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee, March lath, 1859.
Messrs. EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to yon
that the Salamander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 1858, proved to be what you recommended it—
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground in 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
he in a perfect state, the books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheerfully recommend your
Sates to the community, believing, as I do, that they are
as near fire-proof as it is possible tier any Safe to be made.
