THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, O. THE GLOBE. Huntingdon, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 1860 LOCAL & PERSONAL. Agricultural Society. The Huntingdon County Agricultural So ciety met, pursuant to agreement, in the Court House, on 'Tuesday evening, January 10th. President J. C. Watson in the Chair. The Committee appointed at the last meet ing, to visit the Farmers' High School, pre sented a verbal report, which, after some discussion, was received, and the Committee discharged. The Annual Report of the Association for the year 1859, was read by the Secretary, sub mitted and accepted. The Society then proceeded to the annual election of officers for the coming year. Gen. S. Miles Green was chosen President, and on motion, the remainder of the officers con tinued for another year. On motion of Jacob Cresswell, Esq., a Committee of five be appointed by the Chair, to report on the present condition of the So ciety, and the best means to be adopted for the promotion of its future interest. Jacob Cresswell, D. Blair, Jon. McWil liams, Geo. W. Speer, and Wm. Moore, were appointed said Committee, who, after re tiring for a short time, presented the follow ing preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, The Huntingdon County Agri cultural Society has done much for the pro motion and enlargement of our social rela tions, as well as for the improvement of ag riculture in our county, and has just claims upon the patronage of all good citizens. AND WHEREAS, The financial condition of the Society is such, that unless a reform, sug gested by past experience, can be introduced, we must cease to hold Annual Agricultural Fairs, and consequently, suffer our Society to fall to the ground, thus practically acknowl edging that all our efforts have been vain.— Therefore, Resolved Ist, That a committee of five be appointed at this meeting, instructed to make the following arrangements, viz: Ist. Reduce our list of premiums one fifth in the aggregate. 2d. Reduce the expense of music, police and printing, one third, 3d. Add one third to the amount charged for all victualing tents, auctioneers, and ex hibitions not belonging to the Society, (ma king the last year's list of income and ex pense the criterion by which to carry out the foregoing economy,) and that the citizens of the place where the Fair may be held, be re quested to raise by subscription, a sum not less than one hundred dollars, for the benefit of the Society. Resolved 2nd. That the committee above mentioned shall have full power to make ar rangements fur holding a Fair next fall, if the provisions of the foregoing resolution is fully carried out, but if not, they shall in no wise do so. Resolved 3rd. That the said committee be instructed to provide well executed certifi cates of honorary premiums, and also to dis tribute as many Congressional and other Looks as possible, in the way of premiums. On motion of F. 11. Lane, the same com mittee were continued for the purpose of car rying out the above preamble and resolutions. On motion, Juhn S. Isett, John Colder, T. 11. Cromer and Geo. Jackson were added to the above committee. On motion, the Annual Report of the So ciety be published in the county papers. On motion of Geo. W. Speer, the thanks of the Society be tendered to Gen. Watson, for the faithful and efficient discharge of his duty as President, during the past two years. The Association then adjourned, to meet on Tuesday evening of the first week of the April Court.. S. MILES GREEN, Pres't R. McDivITT, Secretaries J. F. RAMEY, COURT.—The crowd iu town last week was pretty large—principally witnesses. Both political parties held Conventions, but out side of the would-be-leaders of both parties, there was very little talking of politics.— The large majority of the people are hearti ly sick of the kind of polities the country is cursed with now-a-days. John C. Couch has been appointed Agent in this county, for the Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, New York. These Nurseries were established twenty years ago, and are now the largest and most complete in the United States. Mr. C. can be found at Jackson's Hotel. DANCING.—Rev. Reed preached a very able sermon on Sunday evening last, on dancing. His church was full—crowded—and many could not get in. Many wholesome truths were spoken, and it would be well for our young people if they would profit by the ad vice so honestly given. ger The Opposition Convention met in this place on Tuesday last, and elected J. B. Simone, of Franklin township, their Repre sentative Delegate to their State Convention, and instructed for Simon Cameron for Presi dent, No instructions for Governor. IVL= " FEED."—We have received from Mr. James Watson, several long feet of very fine sausage. As long as we have such friends, we need not fear of being " starved out." Who wouldn't be a printer sonzetinzes? Mr. W. has our thanks. Seir Now that the County Convention is over, the several applicants for appointment as deputy Marshals of this county, are anx ious to know who are to be successful. Wait a little longer, and you'll discover that prom ises are easily made. se- Diaries for 1860, for sale at Lewis' Book Store. CORRESPONDENCE OF TILE GLOBE.

Fall of the Pemberton Mills Building, al Lawrence, Mass.—Keurly Seven Hundred Persons Buried in the Ruins.— Over Two Hundred Killed.—NUmbers Mortally Woun • ded or Mutilated. BOSTON, Jan. 10.—The Pemberton mills, at Lawrence, Mass., employing from four to five hundred operatives, fell this afternoon, burying nearly every person in the ruins. The mangled bodies are being taken out by the cart-load. It is supposed that over two hundred per sons were. instantly killed. SECOND DESPATCLE. LAWRENCE, Mass., Jan. 10.-9 o'clock, P. M.—Tho Pemberton mills fell in, suddenly, at about five o'clock this evening, while from Bix to seven hundred operatives were at work. The mills are a complete wreck. It is supposed that from two to three hun dred bodies are buried in the ruins. It is impossible, at present, to give a cor rect account of the loss of life. LAWRENCE, Mass., Jan. 11.—At the time of the falling of the mills there were GOO operatives in the building. The factory em ployed 950 operatives, but a portion had gone to supper. The building was five stories high, 280 feet long, and 70 feet wide, with a wing 45 feet square. Containing 27,000 spindles. The dead and missing number 115, a large proportion of whom were young girls, many of them being the main support of their fam ilies. The fire was confined to the ruins of the Pemberton Mills. The surroundingprop erty is uninjured. The dead number 115, and the wounded 165. Some of the latter will die, but by far the larger part may sur vive their injuries. The loss is estimated at $600,000. Before the building caught fire, those im prisoned beneath the ruins could be seen and conversed with. Drinks and refreshments were in some instances passed to them. When the fire spread over the ruins and they found escape hopeless, they bid adieu to their friends, and in several eases gave direc tions as to the disposition of their bodies.— In one part of the building ^ hole was bat tered through the wall, and through it could be seen three young women, who said they were not at all injured. One of them thrust her arm through the small aperture and beg ged to be drawn through it ; but before the hole could be made large enough, the flames drove the men away, and the prisoners per ished in the flames. A hundred and fifty long passenger cars, crowded to excess, arri ved here to-day. But the railroads did not alone contribute to the number of our visi tors. Every kind of vehicle in the surround ing towns was brought into use. During the forenoon, a large force were busily engaged in removing the rubbish. Quite a number of bodies were got out, and two persons were taken out alive. A strong force of canvassers went from house to house, thereby ascertaining of every family what persons were wounded, missing or safe. This summing up shows 162 per sons missing. It embraces all known as killed, and those of whom no tidings have been obtained by those who made the inves tigation. Fifty-two persons are yet immolated in the brick, mortar, &e., and a hundred and thirty dead bodies have been removed to the City Hall, or delivered to their friends. [From the Boston 'Herald, Jan. 11.] The dreadful calamity which yesterday af ternoon cast a gloom over the city of Law rence, has already been detailed with much fullness, but the following fuller account, gathered last night by our own reporters on the spot, will be road with intense interest. The mill, which was a long brick building 300 feet long by eighty-four feet wide, was yesterday in full operation, when, at a very few minutes after five o'clock in the after noon, it fell with a sudden crash, and with out hardly a moment's warning, to the ground, burying in its ruins the vast masses of ma chinery used at the mill, and with the mass of solid iron, and mingled with the beams and brick of the edifice, lay in mangled and gory layers the forms of over four_hundred human beings. As soon as those in the neighborhood could recover from the horrified astonishment into which they were thrown by the disaster, the fire alarm was at once sounded, and the de partment were soon on the spot. Their ser vices were not, however, required to extin guish any flame, for at this time no fire had broken out. Without the horror of fire, however, the scene was frightful beyond description. The ruins lay in one confused heap, covering an area of about two acres, and piled up to a height of about thirty feet. From nearly every hole and crevice in this vast pile, from the top, from the sides, and in fact, from every fissure from whence a voice from inside could make its way, came shrieks for help, groans of anguish, prayers and moanings ; and in many, very many cases, the poor sufferers could be distinctly seen, talked to, and even reached by the hand from the outside. Many thus imprisoned were encouraged and sustained by assurances of safety, and in many cases cups of coffee, could be, and were passed down to those be low, who, alas ! after all this near approach to safety, saw hour after hour pass away, un til, at last, the frightful cry of fire, and the greedy licking of the flames as they ap proached with fearful rapidity, cracking and July, 3 rainy days " 23 clear " " 5 cloudy " August, 5 rainy " " 17 clear " " 9 cloudy " Sept'br, 5 rainy " " 16 clear " " 9 cloudy " October, 3 rainy " " 19 clear " " 9 cloudy " Nov'ber, 4 rainy cc " 15 clear cc " 10 cloudy cc " 1 snowy " Dec'ber, 1 rainy cc " 15 clear cc " 12 cloudy cc cc 3 snowy " KATE E. COLSTOCK. hissing all over the remains on the ground, told them too plainly that all hopes of life was gone.. The fall of the building took place just as the mill was being lighted up, and outside, of course, all was dark. To obviate this difficulty, huge fires were made to the leeward of the ruins, and the light thus made, lighted up the horrible scene with inexpressible grandeur. THE ATTEMPT AT RESCUE r At this time, six o'clock, fifteen hundred persons gathered about the spot, and by the light of the fires the more daring were on top, crawling under the ruins, fixing ropes, and doing all in their power to extricate those within. At the outset their efforts were quite successful. About seventy-five persons, men, women, and children, more or less wounded, were taken out, and, if recognized, carried home, and if not, taken to the City Hall, which had been converted into a temporary hospital. After the first hour, however, the work becomes much more dangerous, by rea son of the fall of timbers as displacements are made, and often the rescued and rescuer are again in danger of a fresh entombment. We do not learn, however, that any serious accident has befallen any of those who ren dered assistance from outside; but still, the danger of the attempt deterred many from rendering any help, except by standing at a distance and screaming themselves hoarse in giving advice or direction to the more daring spirits who were hot at work. WOMAN'S HEROISM At one point when a rope had been fixed to a projecting timber, a call was made to the crowd to take hold and pull with a will, but for a few minutes, such was the danger of the attempt, for the beam in falling might engulph all near it, for a few minutes, we say, the call was unheeded. Men shuddered and drew back—they would risk much to aid those below, but life was sweet, and the danger great. At this critical juncture, a woman rushed from among the crowd, and daring the spectators to follow, seized the rope arid attempted to mount the pile of smouldering ruins to clear away with her hands. The example was enough ; not a word was said, but strong hands at once drew her back, and then there was no lack of hands to the rope, the beam was drawn out, and at least two suf ferers released from the opening thus made. Besides those thus saved, a large number of operatives, mostly males, who were in the weaving room, which is in the lower story, managed to escape by crawling up from that room through a couple of low windows which were not obstructed. The weaving room was partially saved by a heavy stone floor of the story above, and many in this department were thus saved. HOW TLIET" WERE BROUGHT OUT-HORRIBLE SIGHTS. The sights and scenes at this period of the disaster were frightful. One poor girl, alive and fully conscious, was dragged from the east end of the fallen mass, with her left arm torn from the socket, and her body and legs aw fully mangled. She was taken by her friends, but could not have survived long. In one place the bodies of three girls were found lock ed in each other's arms, but quite dead.— They could not be removed without mangling the bodies, and, being abandoned for a time, the flames broke out before another attempt was made, and all three perished. One Irishman was taken out quite unhurt, and his first act was to feel in his pocket, from whence he drew forth a sooty " dudhdeen," and seizing a brand from the fire, he lit his pipe, and went on his way. Next from the ruins we saw the dead body of a lad, and following him was borne a girl, with one of her ankles burnt to a crisp. She had been confined by one foot between two beams, and only by the utmost exertion was she recovered. She was also taken home by her friends. A young girl was released just before the flames burst forth, and in answer to a question stated that she was unhurt. It afterwards appeared that her right arm was badly brc ken near the wrist, but in the excitement of the moment and in the joy of deliverance from a dreadful death, she had not noticed the hurt. One woman was found with her head jam med between two heavy beams, and pressed so that it was not thicker than the thickness of a band. It was a sickening sight. One young girl, whose name we have but do not publish, was confined in a narrow hole surrounded by broken machinery and ragged timber and boards, succeeded in crushing out into the open air, but when she emerged from the ruins she had scarcely an article of cloth ing on her person. Perhaps one of the saddest episodes of the whole calamity was the fate of Mr. Maurice Palmer, who was an overseer in the mill.— In the fall, he was so imbedded in the ruins that he could not be extricated before the fire, and seeing the dreadful element approach ing him, he, in his agony and despair, deter mined not be roasted to death, and so drew his pocket-knife and cut his throat. He was, however, taken out alive, and would have sur vived but for the self-inflicted injury. Who, however, can judge the anguish and agony which induced the fearful deed? Our reporter is told by a gentleman who was early on the spot, that, at one point of the ruins, he distinguished a female voice crying in distress, and soon another voice an swered, " Is that you, Lizzie ? are you hurt ?" The reply was a smothered groan, and an ap peal to God's mercy in her behalf. But these girls were afterwards rescued. SCENES AT THE CITY lIALL-THE DEAD AND WOUNDED-AGONIZING SPECTACLE. Immediately after the dreadful occurrence, the City Ball was thrown open, by order of the Mayor, as a hospital for the wounded, and a receptacle fur the dead. _ At 7 o'clock this morning the stairways were thronged by a multitude of people, eve ry one apparently in an agonizing state of suspense to ascertain whether a father, hus band, wife, or child, had been immolated in the awful funeral pyre. It was a struggle for our reporter to obtain an entrance to the main hall, but by the aid of the city officials he finally succeeded ; and the sight was fearful. Stretched on mattres ses around the hall were men, women, and children, all more or less injured—some dread fully mangled. On the right of the entrance, in a small ante-room, were stretched the corpses of thir ty-six persons of both sexes, old and young. The bodies were so close together that it was difficult to pass between without treading upon a mangled limb. Feet were crushed— shoulders, arms, legs, bodies, all terribly gashed and mashed—faces so disfigured that it would be difficult for the most intimate friends to recognise the bodies by the coun tenances. In the midst of the ghastly throng was to be seen a minister of God carefully scanning each countenance, and we could see a tear drop from his eyes upon more than one of the ghastly dead. YIELD OF THE MINES.-A Denver city let ter to the Missouri Democrat, states that it has been estimated by parties who have a good right to know, that there must have been no less than two millions, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of gold ta ken out of all the various sections of the Pike's Peak mines, by all parties, during the past twelve months ; not less than 837,500 were taken out each week in Russel's gulch alone, as recorded by the Register of those diggings.

PITS : WHY PROMINENT. For a long time there was a paragraph making its reg ular weekly appearance in our columns, with the brief, but emphatic words •Fits I Fits I" always at the head, to some an offensive caption, but not so to the benevolent and humane, who could sympathize in the sorrows of others. Some persons are shocked at any indication of disease, and arc even thrown into nervous excitement on witnessing a hearoe or a coffin. Such are to be pitied.— We should always strive to look disease and even death in the face with calmness, mid especially take every oppor tunity for alleviating disease. Viewed in this light, the advertisements of S. S. Hance. of HS Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md., possess a certain interest, and those who know of any one suffering from Epilepsy, Spasms, or Fits of any kind, should feel it a pleasure to cut out his adver tisement, or in some other way send word to the afflicted of the great value of his remedies.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29, 18.39 To THE PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY :—The subscribers, your committee to examine the contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans & 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 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 tiro to which they may be exposed. The Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal. GEO. W. WOODWARD, JOHN W. GE k.RY, J. P. RUTIXERFORD. ALSRED STILL ANOTHER WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 17, ISs9.—Messrs. EVANS & WAT sox, Philadelphia. Gentlemen:—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris & Ciarrtjt, of our city, some nine months ago, was severely tried...by...burglars last Saturday night, and although they hyrif sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder, *ley did not succeed in opening the Safe. The lock being one of "Hall's Patent Powder,pr9of," tWeould 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 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 Diets are of any service, you are at liberty to use them. Yours, truly, BAY.fsLARD & JONES. GREAT FIREI-ANOTHER TRIUMPH!! ""' KNOXVILLE. Tennessee, March 18th, 185 g. Messrs:'EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia: Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to you 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 tht 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 front the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to be in a perfect state, the books and the papers not Wag 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 for any Safe to be made. TIIOMAS J. POWELL.
