THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C.
THE GLOBE.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, May 2, 1860
LOCAL & PERSONAL.
ROBBERY.—Some time after twelve o'clock
on Friday night last, a thief or thieves broke
into the store and Post office of Wm. Colon,
and carried off a quantity of jewelry, a few
dozen pocket-knives, port monnaies, postage
stamps and some fifteen dollars in small
change—the whole in value about $250.
They gained an entrance through a door at
the head of a stairway leading from the base
ment story occupied by, E. C. Summers.—
How the thieves got into the basement is yet
a mystery. A front door and a back window
was broken open, but whether broken from
the inside or outside has not yet been satis
factorily decided. .The letters in the boxes
had been handled and considerably changed
from their right boxes, but it has not been as
certained whether any are missing. The rob
bers are at large, making arrangements, per
haps, to commence a retail business.
SCHOOLBUILDING.—There are now 360 chil
dren in attendance at the six Public Schools
of this Borough, making an average of 58 for
each, while it is conceded that 40 is quite
sufficient for the management of one teacher,
to say nothing of the injury of health result
ing from crowded rooms. In view of these
facts, the Directors have under consideration
the project of building two additional School
rooms, one of which is intended to be used
for a high school for both sexes. 'Ye hope
this measure, will succeed. The increasing
population demands it, and we see no reason
why our public schools should not be carried
to a grade 'equal to any private school in the
place.
How TO BECOME A GOOD llnasnmsN.--A
knowing writer on the subject, in laying down
rules for riding on horseback, gives this ad-
vice :
"Keep your' head up, chin down, chest
forward, shoulders back, elbows in, hands
down, back in, belly out, feet forward, thighs
fixed, knees in, legs close, heels down, toes
in, loins loose, seat firm, hands tight, horse
and rider well balanced, trot two hours every
day without stirrups, and then time and per
severance may make you a good horseman.
To this we beg to add that when you have
perfected yourself under these instructions,
yon may invite a lady to ride with you, or
enlist in a regiment of dragoons."
ESCAPE OF Two PalsoNErts.—On Friday
last, about noon, two prisoners, from Peters
burg, this county, who were in the jail yard,
sealed the wall while jailor Shoemaker was
eating his dinner, and made good their es
cape. As soon as they were missed, search
was immediately instituted, but of -no avail.
Nothing has, as yet, been heard of them.
BRAVO.—On Friday last, some half dozen
of our young ladies walked to Petersburg, a
distance of five miles, got their dinner, and
walked home again, before dark. Pretty
good, that. Do it often, girls, and wo give
our word for it, you will present a healthier
and more robust appearance, as well as en
joy better health.
A FINE CIIANCE TO HAVE CHOICE FRUIT.—
Schneider & Steel, of this place, have just re
ceived by the steamship Persia, several kinds
of the most choice Hungarian and German
Grape vines, and a few dozen genuine Ger
man Prune Trees. Call or order soon if you
avant choice fruit.

will be an ornament of value.
LOCAL CO R,RESPO D E C E
To the School Directors of Huntingdon County:—As the
7th of May will record on the pages of History. an event
more intimately connected with the educational interests
of our county, than any Gubernatorial or Presidential
campaign, we, as directors, parents and teachers, are pres
s:A with the all-important question, Who should and who
will be our next County Superintendent? We should
have a man of but one occupation. A man who will give
tins calling his whole time awl attention. Not a mer
chant or a minister, but we •cant a man for Superinten
dent who is a practical teacher•; not one who has taught
only, but is teaching at the present. Let the Directors
inform themselves of the good qualities and abilities of
each candidate, and exercise their good judgment in se
lecting the one best qualified in every respect for the office.
We do not want a man whose educational qualifications
are good only, but one who has correct views of the art of
teaching, and who has always been a successful teacher.
All the requisitions necessary to make a good Superinten
dent, we feel confident, are found in Prof.Jus. W. Hughes,
of Cassville. We, therefore, take pleasure in recommend
ing Prof. Hughes to the Directors• of this county, as the
Man in every way suited to that office. S. & G.
INSANITY RESULTING FROlf VANITY.—The
Lafayette Journal says the sheriff of that
county recently took a young fellow to the
lunatic asylum from that place, who is-re
markable handsome, and whose insanity is
believed to have been produced by a morbid
development of his self-conceit. Vanity
not satisfied with making people crazy—it
has more victims in the grave than the chol
era.
Ser The style of orchards they have in
Portland, Oregon, may be inferred from the
description of one which yielded in one sea
son $30,000 worth of cheeri6s, pears and
lums, and required forty thousand feet of
lumber for fruit boxes.
EAST EA.RREE, April 30, 1860
From the Pike's Peak Region
[From tho St. Louia Republican.]
DENVER, April 4, 1860.—Denver was again
thrown into excitement, last week, by the
announcement that a man had been killed.—
Oa proceeding to the ground I found the vic
tim to be Jack O'Neil, a person long since
noted for his crimes, which were still unpun
ished. It appears that a quarrel had arisen
several days previous, which had been re
newed on the day before, by very insulting
and slanderous language used by O'Neil to
Rooker, who commtted the deed. In conse
quence of this, a challenge passed between
them. O'Neil chose bowie knives as weap
ons, and a dark room for the place. These
Rooker rejected, whereupon O'Neil sent word
that they would shoot on sight.
With this arrangement of the matter, Rook
er stationed himself in the door of the 'West
ern Saloon, armed with a shot gun, loaded
with buckshot. O'Neil had occasion to pass
by, and as he did so, when Rooker saw him
he cried out with an oath, " I've got you
now," and immediately shot him. O'Neil,
who had turned to go away, fell with his revol
ver cocked in his hand, simply uttering the
words: " Rooker has killed me," and ex
pired in ten minutes. Rooker fled, but soon
after returned, and has since received a sham
trial, at which he was acquitted.
It will be remembered that O'Neil fled from
Kansas City in the night to escape being
lynched by the people for committing a rape
in connection with another person. He is
reported to have killed several persons in Salt
Lake, of which deeds he has frequently boas
ted. He has been quite noted here as a pu
gilist. His death was looked upon more in
the light of the abatement of a nuisance than
of anything else, and consequently but little
attention was paid to the matter, and it was
passed by without a thorough investigation.
The price of town property is rapidly ad
vancing. Lots here, 25 feet by 125 feet, sell
fur from five hundred to one thousand dollars
in the business portions of the town. There
is very little property for sale at any price.—
At the present time, the mills are unable to
supply the demand for lumber.
The bustle of the new year has fairly com
menced. Every one has something to do.—
Carpenter's wages are now five dollars per
day, with the probability of an increase.—
Farmers are busy fencing, and would be en
gaged with the plow but for the fact that
there arc none to be had. The blossoming of
flowers on the open prairie indicates the re
turn of Spring. Vegetables are already up
in many of the gardens. The renewed ac
tivity everywhere manifested, has not been
without valuable results in the mines. New
and rich discoveries are being made daily.
The Socreto lode has proved itself to be one
of the richest ever discovered, at least so far
as its quartz 'is concerned. Specimens of
great richness and rare beauty are frequent
ly taken out. No quartz or earth has yet
been washed from it.
In grading the new Gregory and Mount
Vernon road, whore it crosses Clear Creek, a
lode which yields very rich quartz, has just
been discovered. Specimens have been ex
hibited from it which are fairly covered with
gold.
Just now the Arkansas mines are the great
cry. They are about one hundred miles dis
tant, and are reported to extend over all the
upper tributaries of that stream. The dis
coveries in that region were made simultane
ously by Cherokees and Americans, though
at points considerably distant from each other.
The average per diem has been, during the
past Winter, with rockers, five dollars.—
When the smaller gulches and ravines are
free from snow, it is confidently expected that
richer diggings will be found. But little re
ally has been done anywhere west of the
range. towards prospecting the country.—
Enough, however, has been done to indicate
that the western slope is fully equal to the
eastern. The westward tide has at length
broken through the deep snows upon the di
vide, and those rallies, so little known to
white men, are echoing with the sound of the
aso, the pick and the shovel.

BEAUTIFUL, BUT TRIUE.
A few days since, Mr. Jas. H. 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. Ilance'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
lbs. Since she has 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 bettor 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 the street.
Ito 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 he 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 SET/1 S. 'RANCE, NS Baltimore street,

"I have given somo 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,
conveyed in a clear manner, illustrated by many valuable
cuts, antl printed on good paper. It constitutes a valuable
addition to the apparatus of the Teacher, Parent, and pri
vate Christian."
Rigbt Rev. ALONZO POTTER, D. D., LL. D.
Bishop of Pennsylvania
"I have examined the 'Biblical Beason Why,' and find
it to be a repertory 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."
Rev. JOHN MeCLINTOCK, D. D., LL. D.,

"The attention I hare 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."
