LOCAL & PERSONAL.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—We scarcely ever open
an exchange paper but what we see recorded,
accidents from the explosion of fluid lamps,
and now it becomes our sad duty to chronicle
a shocking case which happened on Friday
evening last,. at Elizabethtown, eighteen m Iles
below Harrisburg, to a young and promising
lad, named Alfred McCollister, of this place,
who had gone there for the purpose of attend
ing the telegraph office for a few days. lle
was in the act of changing the wires for some
purpose ()nether, and had the lamp in his left
hand, and whilst he was working with the
wires, it exploded ; he threw it from him, and
in. its .courst, it struck another fluid vessel
close by, which contained about a quart of
the fiery element, exploding it also, and burn
iiig'young McCallister's face and hands in a
most shocking manner: A boy that was in
the office with him at the time, and who was
standing near the fluid vessel, was also seri
ously burned. The noise of the explosion
brought timely assistance, and the flames
were speedily extinguished, otherwise the
whole building would have been consumed,
for the lads were so. badly burned, that they
were unable to extinguish the fire. Young
McCollister was brought home on Sunday
morning, and is recovering slowly, although
he is unable to see, his eyes being so badly
scorched, that it is feared he will be deprived
. of sight. This is another warning to those
who burn fluid. Persons cannot be too care
ful how they use this distructive, disastrous
and ignitable combustible.
Cusismis.—To our readers, one and all.
Before we shall again greet you with our
weekly budget of news, Christmas will have
come and gone. To one and all of you, we
wish a merry Christmas. Another year has
rolled around, and still we are at the helm;
steering our little craft boldly up the channel
of truth and fidelity, and ever battling against
the evil tide of men. Many have come and
gone during the year, and some of us, per
haps, can look back on the past with pleasure,
and wish the days gone by could be re-called
again, whilst others view the past with re
morse and,regret. To the first, We say all
hail ! With. the latter, We sincerely sympa
thize. Another year has almost ended, and
we find ourselves so much nearer the brink of
death. May the kind Providence who has
watched over us thus far in our lives, still
keeP an eye single to our well-being.
ROBBER ARRESTED.—On Monday morning
last; a fellow giving the name of B. Thomp
son, was arrested near Bloody Run, for steal
ing goods on Thursday evening last, froni the
store of Simon Cohn, & co., of Hopewell town
ship, thii county. The following articles
were found on the person of the thief, but no
owners, have, as yet, claimed them : one gold
hunting-cased watch, three pair boots, one
revolver, two new and two old vests, several
boxes of knives, a number of keys, and a
number of gentlemen's hair combs. The
above named articles are at the office of Es
quire Snare, where they can be seen and will
be returned to the owners, on their proving
property, &c. The scoundrel had a hearing
before Esquire Snare, and in the default of
bail, was committed to the stone institution
at the head of Smith street, to await his trial
at the next Quarter Sessions.

ser. We learn from the last Tyrone Star,
that John Culvert, the Fostoria -foundling,
died on the 9th inst., of scarlet fever. The
Star adds: ," The poor babe found its last
resting-placein the same grave with a child
of its foster-parents, (Mr. and Mrs. John D.
Miller,) that had been stricken down the day
before. In death as in life, the foundling
was treated as their own offspring."

CORRESPONDENCE OF TIKE GLOBE.
The Farmer's High School.
Every individual in this commonwealth
who has a single wish for the general good,
the improvement of the intellect, and a re
lief from the slavery and drudgery of fruit
less toil, will watch with anxious care the
progress—the growth and prosperity of the
Farmer's High School. The advancement
already made by those having the work in
charge, is generally understood from its pub
lished reports. Even that advancement has
required a struggle, a vigorous effort. I have
listened with attention to the arrangements,
and wished success to all that has been prom
ised by its sanguine friends ; but to sume ex
tent, have doubted the realization of those
results which would be so desirable. If it
were possible to select from the rising sons of
toil, those who have, or who may acquire a
desire to apply scientific truths to the culti
vation of the earth, or to any commendable
branch of industry, then the result need not
be feared or doubted. For it would matter
very little in that event, what deficiencies or
delinquencies were found elsewhere, the ge
nius of these intellectual and physical giants
would sustain them, and the institution, with
its glorious results, would rise above every ob
stacle. But if this school will have no
means for protecting itself from imposition,
i. e. if it is to be accessible by those who live
to idle away life, who cannot be made to feel
that there is a dignity and pleasure in . labor ;
if it is to be filled to any considerable extent
by the scape-goats and scape-graces of indo
lence or licentiousness, then all that the. State,
all that its friends, and all that an able. fac
ulty can do, will be comparatively fruitless.
The experiment is now begun ; one year
has elapsed ; the index on the dial counts one.
The result still carries its doubts. As has
been the case in all other institutions of learn
ing, the students of this are subjected to cor
rupt associations, the blight and mildew of
student life. One example will be sufficient
to indicate the character of the present class
of students. At the close of the session last
week, some fifty or sixty found it convenient
to pass through our county en route for the
R. Road and their homes. About fifty called
at a highly respectable hotel, registered their
names, called for supper, and apart of them
for rooms. The stay was characterized by
drunkenness, profanity, and. confusion, and
their departure by a nun-payment of bills by
about a dozen of the party.
If the institution was a reform school, those
dozen would doubtless be its properibmates,
but as it was and is intended to be the foun
tain from which knowledge is to flow to all
parts of the State, to keep its current clear
from such influences, will be a matter of no
small account. At sties non,fracta.
INTERESTING POST-OFFICE DEClSlON.—Post
master-General Holt has recently decided an
interesting and novel question. A husband,
who had been separated from his wife, de
manded that his village Post-master should
deliver her letters to him, and threatened a
suit at law. The wife on the other hand, for
bade the delivery of her letters to the hus
band. In these circumstances, the Postmas
ter appealed to Mr. Holt for instructions.—
That officer pronounces the claim advanced
by the husband too preposterous to be seri
ously refuted. Indeed, he says it is abhor
rent to law as it is to Christian civilization of
the age, and he directs the Postmaster to de
liver the letters to the wife.
1100PLAND 9 S GERRIAN BITTERS,

of Patent Medicines in the United States and Canadas.
Price 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of C. N.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.
BENEVOLENCE.
We do not think a person can evince a more benevolent
traitor 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. HaNes, 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; 111 r. M.
P. Sledge, Cabin Point, Surry 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 hie address above.
