Huntingdon, Wednesday, April 18, 1860
LOCAL & PERSONAL.
LOCALS IN BRIEF.-It will be seen by ad
vertisements in another column, that the old
partnership of Fisher & McMurtrie has been
dissolved, and a new one formed by Fisher &
Son. " Rash" is a first class business man,
there being but few, if any of his age, his
equals in the country.
Our old friend and fellow-citizen, Maj. D.
McMurtrie, has retired from active business.
For many years he has been very successful
in storing up this world's treasure, and can
now afford to lie idly by and watch the exer
tions of the rest of mankind to make an hon
est and comfortable living, or scratch out a
miserable existence.
D. P. Gwin's spring advertisements may
be found in another column. He has been
fortunate in making his selection of goods.—
Give him a call and examine for yourselves.
Fisher & Son's new advertisements will be
found in to-day's Globe. Rash has made a
fine selection of goods for customers: Call
and see for yourselves.
Rev. Reid, of the German Reformed church
of this place, preached ono of the best ser
mons on Sunday morning last, we have lis
tened to for a long time. His text was—
" For I am determined not to know anything
among you, save Jesus Christ, and him cru
cified." It was truly, in our opinion, a mas
terly production, and one worthy the rever
end gentleman.
The Union Daily Prayer Meetings still con
tinue in successful operation in the Court
House.
Rev. Guyer, P. E., delivered an eloquent
discourse in the Methodist church of this
place, on Sabbath evening last.
A quarterly meeting is going on in McCon
nellstown, under the supervision of Rev. Con
ser, of this place, and others.
Our Hoosier corrospondent says there is a
glorious chance out in his part of Uncle Sam's
dominion, for the Hill street girls, if they
want partners. Ile says, " only emigrate,
and they will find comfortable quarters for
you." Don't go, girls.
The Pennsylvania Central and Broad Top
Railroads changed schedules on Monday last.
For the arrival and departure of trains at this
place, consult our advertising columns.
The string band will consider our best bow
made, for the serenade on Thursday night
last. The music was sweet and melodeons.
Call soon again.
We are gratified to learn that there is a
steady increase demand for Broad Top Coal.
On Friday last but a few pounds short of eight
hundred tons came down from the mines, and
almost every day from five to seven hundred
tons.
There is not a very strong attendance at
Court this week.
The bill which passed the House, to take
from this county parts of Dublin and Spring
field townships, did not get through the Senate.
Last week we noticed farmers leaving town
with hundreds of young fruit trees, purchased
from strangers and our own nursery men.
All right—they can't buy too many of a good
fruit.
Poor people and printers can live—pota
toes are plenty, and selling for 31 cents a
bushel.
Our musical friend Geissinger, has retired
from the hardware business. We wish him
success in whatever business he may go into.
Col. R. F. Haslet offers for rent his large
hotel, and his furniture for sale. See his ad
vertisement.
Ezekiel White has been appointed Post
Master at Coalmont, vice Samuel Brooks, re-
signed.
A new Boot and Shoe Store has been open
ed in the Diamond by Mr. George Schaefer.
He has a good stock on hand waiting custo
mers. See his advertisement,
Beautiful, the oil paintings in Prof. Roe
sen's room. The fruit is early, nevertheless,
it is perfect. Several young ladies are now
taking lessons.
A Goon Ruts.—The editor of the Inde
pendent Phoenix adheres to a good rule, and
we adopt it. The editor says :—Our rule is,
and will continue to be, to insert nothing
simply to oblige any man. If anything we
choose to print may so oblige any one, it
must be our own act, done in our own way,
at our own time. If an article is sent to us
for publication, we give it respectful atten
tion, and if we find that it ()bilges ourselves
as well as the general reader—that is, pro
ductive of some general or particular good
—it goes in when room can be found for it.
On the other hand, if anybody desires to be
personally obliged by the insertion of any
thing, he is referred at once to our broad ad
vertising columns, where he can be "obliged"
to his heart's content at the usulil prices.
We beg to remind all that this is our rule,
that none may forget it. And so beg farther
to say, that if editors would generally pursue
the same course, they would be much more
respected by the community, however much
they might be complained of by selfish indi
viduals and aspiring politicians.
TuArms.—Our (the local's) amiable friend,
Major Garrettson of the Bank, will consider
our beaver slightly elevated and our best and
most graceful bow made, and we tender him
our unfeigned thanks for the delicious cakes
he presented to us yesterday morning. The
Major is a clever, whole-souled fellow, and
we know how to appreciate a present from
him, We thank you again, Major.
LIE LOAFER.—The most miserable, hope
less scrap of humanity, is an idle man—a
man whose chief aim of life is to " loaf "—to
waste in listless lounging and mental and
physical inaction, the best years of his life.
There are a number of such beings here and
in every other town—miserable loafers, whose
sole occupation is to avoid employment of any
kind—whose lives can scarcely be called lives
—who die one after another, and leave behind
them—what ? A vacancy to be mourned ?
No, for they are in themselves vacancies, not
men. To these atoms society owes nothing.
The history of the world's progress ignores
their names, their existence, and being dead,
the grave contains no more inert, worthless
earth than it did before. They become chron
ic nuisances ; they have no local habitation
or name in so far as regards their worth or
value, and from day to day, in the haunts of
busy men, they pass current as uncurrent
funds—at so much of a discount that they
can't even buy themselves. The only appa
rent exertion they exhibit is that which ena
bles them to be eternally in somebody's way,
to the great hindrance of that somebody's
progress and business. They never do any
special harm and never accomplish any good.
They die only when they get too lazy and in
dolsnt to use their respiratory organs. They
never get the consumption, because they
haven't energy enough to cough. They give
employment to nobody, for they have none
fur themselves. It costs more to get them to
the polls to deposit their votes, than their
votes, carcasses and the entire election aro
worth. From these, and such as these, may
Fortune preserve all well-meaning mortals.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.--A meeting of the
Huntingdon County Agricultural Society was
held in•the Court House, in Huntingdon,.on
'Wednesday evening, the 11th inst., the room
having been otherwise occupied during the
evening of its regular appointment, and in
the absence of the President, was organized
by the appointment of Gen. F. H. Lane as
President pro tan.
The minutes of last session were read by
the Secretary, corrected and adopted.
The Committee appointed at the last regu
lar meeting, to " take into consideration the
best means of promoting the future interest
and advancement of the Society," provide
for the reduction of expenses, secure by sub
scription an appropriation for the benefit, of
the Society, take into consideration the pro
priety of holding a Fair during the coming
fall, prepare a premium list for the same, &c.,
reported progress, and were, on motion, con
tinued.
A premium list, as amended by the Com
mittee, was presented and adopted, subject
to further amendment at the next meeting.
On motion, Society then adjourned to meet
in the Court House, on Thursday evening of
the first week of the August Court.
F. IL LANE, Pres't pro tent.

J. F. RAMEY,
PAPERING 110031 S.—The Scientific Amen&
can remarks that many lives have been lost
from the laziness or ignorance of paper hang
ers, who have laid one paper above another,
instead of tearing off the old before hanging
the new. There was a very handsome house
near one of our best provincial towns, which
could never keep its tenants. A ready-witted
observer promised the owner to find out the
cause. He traced the mischief to one room,
and presently conjectured what was the mat
ter there. He let a slip of glass into the wall,
and found it nest day dimmed with foetid,
condensed vapor. He tore down a strip of
paper, and found abundant cause for any
amount of fever. For generations the walls
had been prepared afresh, without the remo
val of anything underneath. And there was
the putrid size and the fermenting old paper
inches deep! A thorough clearance, scraping
and clearing put an end to the fever, and re
stored the value of the house.
Tus OPPOSlTlGlsr.—Pursuant to a call, pre
viously posted about town, the Opposition
party met in the Court House, on Tuesday
evening of last week, and organized by ap
pointing a Mr. Geo. W. Johnston, President,
and electing several Vice Presidents and Sec
retaries. A Committee was appointed to
draft resolutions, which they did, unanimous
ly in favor of Gen. Simon Cameron as their
candidate for the Presidency, endorsing the
nomination of Andrew G. Curtin for Gov
ernor, promising him one thousand majori
ty in the county . this fall, and urging the
necessity of forming People's Party Clubs in
every election district. Col. Curtin and L.
W. Hall of Blair county, addressed the meet
ing, which was quite a respectable crowd.
)30'. Materials for Flowers, handsomely
assorted in boxes, just received and for sale
at Lewis' Book Store.
BEAUTIFUL, BUT TRUE.
A few days biuce, Mr. Jas. 11. Beadle, of Huntsville, Al
abama, called on us and gave us permission to publish for
the benefit of suffering humanity, the astonishing cure
which had been effected in the case of his wife by the use
of Dr. dance's Vegetable Epileptic Pills. He informed us,
that at the time his wife commenced using the medicine,
her system was so entirely prostrated, by the number of
spasms she had undergone, as to reduce her weight to 100
h
lbs. Since she as been taking the pills, she has entirely
got over the spasms and has gained in weight and bodily
health. She now weighs at least 200 lbs., and declares she
is in better enjoyment of health than ever before in her
life. Mr. Beadle also related the case of Mr. Harrison
Lightfoot of the same town, who has been entirely cured
of the worst form of Epilepsy by these same pills. Mr.
Lightfoot's case was so bad that he never passed a week
without having an attack, often falling down in thestreet.
Ile has not had an attack for more than a year. Mr. Bea
dle thinks that if the pills ever fail in curing a case, it is
for the want of a proper perseverance on the part of the
person in taking them, as ho feels assured from observa
tion in the case of his wife,
that if they are taken for a
sufficient length of time, they will cure any case. Sent to
any part of the country by mail, on the receipt of a re
mittance. Address SETH S. UANCE, 10S Baltimore street;

DIED,
In Juniata township, on the 22d March last, ELIZA
MAncAnsr, daughter of Abraham and Ellen E. Speck,
aged 5 years 6 months and 6 days.
Go to thy rest, my child,
Go to thy dreamless bed,
Gentle and undefird,
With blessings on thy head.
Because thy smile was fair,
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because thy cradle-care
Was such a fond delight.—
Shall love, with weak embrace,
Thy heavenward wing detain?
No!—angel seek thy place
Amid heaven's cherub train. -
Dearest sister, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel ;
But 'tie God that hath bereft us;
Ho can all our sorrows heal.

TESTIMONIALS OF THE CLERGY
"I have given some attention to the 'Biblical Reason
Why,' and feel bound to say that it seems to me to con
tain a vast amount of information on Biblical subjects,
convoyed in a clear manner, illustrated by many vainable
cuts, and printed on good paper. It constitutes a valuable
addition to the apparatus of the Teacher, Parent, and pri
vate Christian."
Right Rev. ALONZO POTTER, D. D., LL. D.
Bishop of Pennsylvania
"have examined the 'Biblical Reason Why,' and find
it to be a repartory of facts on Biblical subjects, set forth
in a plain and intelligible way. Indeed, lam surprised
at the amount of matter that is compressed into this vol
ume. For use in families and schools, I consider it the
best book of the kind I have seen."

_President of the Troy University, and Pastor of St. Paul's
Church (Methodist Episcopal,) New nrk.
"The attention I have given your book satisfies me that
it cannot fail to give important aid to all students of the
Bible, and especially that large class who have neither
time nor means to bestow on larger or more critical works.
The plan of your work is excellent, and the matter well
chosen. It should have a large circulation. It will cer
tainly be of great use in the study of the Holy Scriptures."

SELLING OFF FOR CASH!!
BARGAINS IN HARDWARE.
As "the nimble penny is better than the slow sixpence,"
and small profits in cash, are better than vexing eye-sore
