THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C.
THE GLOBE.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, May 30, 1860
LOCAL & PERSONAL.
A GALA DAY.—Friday last, was•a•gala day
among the good citizens of our borough. At
an early hour, the " bold soger boys" began
to make their appearance, and all was the
" wildest excitement." Men, women and
children thronged the streets from morning
till night. The military companies present,
were : The Union Guards, of Petersburg ;
Scott Infantry, of Huntingdon Furnace;
Ringgold Artillery, of Orbisonia ; Scott Ar
tillery, - of Hare's Valley, and the Jackson
Artillery, of McAlvey's Fort. They made a
grand show, and behaved like gentlemen.—
Gen. Neagley, of Pittsburgh, and one of his
aids, were present. The General is a fine
looking man, and a brave soldier. He served
his country in the Mexican war, and did good
service. After marching through the principal
streets, the soldiers repaired to - West Hun
tingdon, where they were " put through,"
and inspected by R. C. McGill, Brigade In
spector, and also reviewed by Gen. Neagley.
In the afternoon, after going through the
same performance, they proceeded to the
Court House, to elect a Colonel and Lieuten
ant Colonel, which resulted in the election of
Andrew Sharrer for Colonel, and Geo. W.
Patterson for Lieutenant Colonel.
A tight rope walker arrived in this place
on Thursday evening, and announced that he
would perform the wonderful feat of walking
a rope stretched across the street, on Friday,
at one o'clock. He didn't come up to time,
however, as the " fancy " would say, for it
was half past two before he made his ap
pearance. For fully two hours, the Diamond
was crowded with people of all ages, sizes,
sex and color, anxiously waiting to see the feat
performed. At half past two, all being in
readiness, Prof. Nagle made his appearance
on the rope, which was stretched from
Crouse's Hotel to Jacob Miller's residence, and
walked it first forward and then backward.
He exhibited a great deal of bold daring and
nerve, and seemed to walk with perfect ease ;
but, as in most other cases, we are afraid he
will attempt to walk it once too often.
There was much less drunkenness and row
dyism than is generally carried on upon such
occasions, and much less than we anticipated.
The masses behaved themselves tolerably
well, until about five o'clock, when " minnie
rifle" began to take charge of quite a goodly
number. We noticed several little brawls,
but they all ended in "gas," there not being
much disposition shown to fight, except
among the regular " fancy," who almost
make their living at that and drinking
"strychnine."
• lIURR4II FOR VIE FOURTH OF JULY.—The
glorious 4th is almost upon us again, and we
have not heard one word about it yet. The
question is, whether our people will go abroad
to celebrate the Fourth, or whether a general
fandango will be arranged to come off at home.
We might as well have a few hundred people
in Huntingdon as not on that day, if arrange
ments were entered into to entertain them.—
We do not believe in leaving a town as pleas
ant as ours to find fun or expend patriotism
on rodependence Day, when it can as well take
place in our midst. Get out the big drum,
stir up the people and arrange a programme
for the "glorious Fourth 1" Seidlitz pow
ders and torpedoes cost but little, and the
man who is not willing to indulge in a " cheap
spree" in honor of "American Independence,"
at least once a year, deserves to be disfran
chised from citizenship. And the ladies, the
mother and sisters, and the children, want an
opportunity to allow the accumulated patriot
ism of twelve months to escape.
Speaking of the ladies, if our male citizens
do not see proper to bestir themselves and
undertake the management of a celebration,
we hope the females will ; and we believe
they could do it in a more handsome and
creditable style than the sterner sex.
A PLEAS-ANT RIDE.—We (local) treated our
self to a visit up to the Broad Top regions on
Wednesday last, over the Broad Top Road,
under the care and supervision of J. J. Law
rence, Esq., a gentleman of well known abil
ity, and who understands the business of rail
roading, perfectly. We found the road in
goad .condition, from beginning to end,
(for we went to the " eend," as the Irishman
says.) We found Col. Gum Morrison, the
same clever, obliging, and accommodating
gentleman we have ever known him to be.—
Full of fun, and ready to crack a joke at any
and all times. Gum is truly the right man
in the right place.
The grain crop looks exceedingly well.—
All along the road, the wheat and rye crop
promise an abundant yield. The corn was
just sprouting from mother earth, and looked
well.
A JOVIAL PARTY.—In company with three
of earth's fairest creatures, and one typ
ical of old Mr. Adam, we strolled into the
woods on Monday afternoon last, and had a
goy time. We seated ourselves by the side
of a little murmuring stream, and chatted
and talked and admired the beautiful scenery
which surrounded us on every hand, until
our faithful chronometer told us that it was
time to return to "ye ancient town," which
we did, all highly delighted with our " love of
a" walk.
Jae' We were visited by another violent
storm on Saturday last, accompanied with
hail. We hear of no serious damage,ijping
done to the crops. •
Our esteemed friends and fellow citi
zens I. P. Anderson and John B. Given leave
New York on Saturday next, for Europe.—
Gen. Jas. Burns of Lewistown, and one or
two other gentlemen, also leave in the same
steamer. Hope they may have a pleasant
tour and return in good health and in time
to help to elect Stephen A. Douglas the next
President of these United States.
No WONDER HE LOOKED SO PROUD.—We
noticed on Friday last, that Gen. P. 11. Lane
looked more than usually pleased with him
self or somebody else. The secret soon leaked
out that his better-half had presented him, at
an early hour in the morning, with a " bold
soldier boy."
SUNDAY ScuooL EXIIIDITION.—The Metho
dist Episcopal Sunday School of this place,
intend giving an exhibition in their church
on Tuesday evening, the 12th of June. We
ask for them a liberal attendance, as the pro
ceeds are to be expended for a good purpose.
-We had the pleasure of taking our old
friend, Col. D. 11. Huyett, by the hand, on
Friday last, who was circulating around among
his friends in this place. He looks hale and
hearty, and speaks highly of the western
country.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-Mr. Thompson
Martin of Walker township, lost a fine mare
and spring colt, by lightning on Friday last.
They took shelter under a tree during the
storm—the tree was struck and the mare and
colt instantly killed.
XtGyz- The President and Directors of the H.
&B. T. R. R. Co., went over the road on
Wednesday last. They were on an exploring
expedition, and visited the different mines
now in operation.
John Ashman, a respectable citizen of
Three Springs, in this county, died at his res
idence near Scottsville, on Wednesday last,
at an advanced age,

The Consequences of the Defeat of Sew
ard at Chicago.
[From the N. Y. Herald.]
There is no disguising the fact that every
where throughout the North the Republicans
are filled with deep disappointment at the ac
tion of the Chicago Convention in rejecting
William H. Seward, an able statesman—the
man who created and built up the Republican
party. Nowhere is this disappointment more
keenly felt than in the State of New York,
where a visible gloom hangs over the whole
rank and file of the Republican host, what
ever some interested leaders may say to the
contrary. As for Mr Seward himself, there
is every reason to believe that he will retire
from public affairs, utterly disgusted with an
ungrateful party, who knew not how to ap
preciate his merits or its own situation.—
Had he been defeated by the democracy, that
would be nothing. But to be so wounded in
the house of his friends is political death.—
Thurlow Weed will probably sell out the
Evening Journal and retreat into private life;
and many of Seward's personal and influen
tial friends will maintain a sullen reserve and
keep aloof from the party, while the general
effect upon it will be that the Democrats who
joined at the time of Fremont's contest will
withdraw and return to the Democracy ; so
that in a short time there will be nothing left
of the great Republican organization but the
old abolition rump.
Greeley and Blair intrigued against Seward
because they could not bend him to their sel
fish views. They succeeded in overthrowing
him ; but with him they have overthrown the
party, whose head and front he was. The Re
publican managers, envious of his superiorty,
and unable to control him, have offered him
a sacrifice ; but they have lost everything and
gained nothing by the course they have pur
sued. They have lost his ability, statesman
ship, and successful prestige in the Empire
State, and lost that enthusiasm which the
name of the prophet of the higher law would
be sure to inspire among his followers, while
they will fail to conciliate the conservatism of
the Middle States—the ostensible object for
which they threw him overboard. The ob
scurity of Lincoln has been calculated upon
as an element of success ; but it is known that
he preceded Seward in the announcement of
the "irrepressible conflict," and his language
was even more violent than that of the Roch
ester manifesto. Lincoln, too, is a man who
would be more likely to be driven to extremes
by his party, if successful, than William H.
Seward, whose cool and cautious sagacity
would perhaps restrain him within the bounds
of moderation, so soon as he reached the
summit of his ambition and he felt the weight
of a vast responsibility pressing upon his
shoulders as President of thirty-three united
States.
In fine, the Republican leaders have done
their party such irreparable mischief at Chi
cago, that it only remains for the Democrats
to unite upon a good candidate in order to
have a walk over the course in this State, to
say nothing of other Norttern States, and to
carry the election in November by a sweep
ing majority.
,tler- A horrible tragedy was enacted in
Franklin county, on Sunday night a week.—
An old man named Mason, had a son, who,
for some time, had been taking such of the
old man's property as he desired and could
get hold of. Only the last week he took a
horse and -some other articles, and on Sunday
night demanded the old man's money, and
threatened to take his life if it was not given
to him. The old man told him he was old,
and needed all he had to support himself and
wife, and ordered him to go away. It seems
the son had not been permitted to enter the
house on this occasion, but broke the door to
effect an entrance, and as he entered he was
shot by his father, and expired in a few min
utes. The old man, on Monday morning,
had gone to procure a coffin for his son, and
to surrender himself to an officer or the law,
History of the Charleston Convention
in a Nut-shell
[From the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal.]
The Yancey secessionists (as they turned
out to be) went to Charleston not so much
with the hope of obtaining the recognition of
any particular principle, as to defeat the nom
ination of Judge Douglas. They had be
come pledged against him before their peo
ple, and to consent to his nomination was
equivalent to admitting, their want of fore
cast, and, with many, to abandon their posi
tions—some of them prominent—in their re
spective localities. The first movement they
made on the chess-board at Charleston was
to unite on some statesman—North or South
—holding this view or that, it did not much
matter which, upon whom the opposition to
Douglas might unite to secure his overthrow.
They failed in this, for the obvious reason,
as the ballotings will indicate, that the could
not concentrate their discordant forces upon
any common candidate. Still hoping to beat
the "Little Giant," they then addressed them
selves to the labor of constructing such a plat
form as the North and Northwest could not
and would not accept, and which, if accepted
would certainly defeat Douglas by defeating
the Democratic party in all the non-slave
holding States. They failed, too, in this
movement, because the real friends of the
Democratic organization had a clear and re
liable majority, which, if it could not nomi
nate a President by a two-thirds vote, could
at least make the basis of the canvass.
Failing in this, the opposition to Douglas
became for the most part desperate secession
ists, determined to defeat him at any and
every hazard, even if it required a disruption
of the ties which bound the party together.
This was the Yancey secession movement
which resulted in taking from the Convention
some few entire and some fractional delega
tions from the Southern States. They hoped
thus to break up the Convention and place
the Presidential canvass at sea. Fortune favor
ed them less in the movement than any pre
vious one. The Convntion continued in ses
sion as usual, apparently littlereduced in size,
and not a whit in the interest displayed in
the nomination ; while the 'Hotspur secession
ists looked about as blank as sensible men
could pe expected to look after doing a very
silly thing which could not well be recalled,
or defended before their constituents.
So the Democratic organization has sur
vived the shock of faction, and douglas has
outlived his enemies. He is this hour more
closely taken to the hearts of the .American
peoplo than evor before in all his brilliant,
trying, and eventful history.
Mississippi.
The Chickasaw (Miss.) Advertiser has no
very good opinion of the disunion move
ments of Yancey & Co. After reading them
a severe, though just, lecture for their deser
tion of the State rights doctrines embodied
in the Cincinnati Platform, and for their per
sonal and factitious opposition to Senator
Douglas, the Advertiser closes as follows:
Stephen A. Douglas may be defeated, the
foundation of this Union may be shaken
from center to circumference, yea, it may be
sundered, and civil war, like baleful simoon,
sweep over the country and drench its hills
and vales with fraternal blood, yet these ca',•'
lamities (which may heaven avert) cannot
disprove the truth of that principle of Gov
ernment which Mr. Douglas advocates—that
principle of self-government, in defense of
which the colonies revolted from their mother
country and united in a pledge of " life, lib
erty and sacred honor," upon the fearful is
sues of war, and over which they triumphed
and achieved for themselves and posterity a
victory which the gratitude of humanity can
alone requite. Venal politicians may preju
dice the mindsof men against it, but time, the
impartial arbiter of human acts, will place it
upon that elevation from which it will be
seen to encompass those great principles of
free government dear to every American heart.
In 1776 the people of our country indorsed
it; in 1856 their decendents reindorsed it;
but, whether amid the chaos, which in the
politics of our country is becoming more con
founded, this principle will again be indorsed,
is known only to him who knows all things.
Indeed the political horizon is dark—lower
ing clouds are gathering that betoken a storm
which the peace of our country cannot sur
vive. In this dark hour of our political ad
versity we hope the reflecting men of our
country will rally and rear them a standard
emblazoned with the sacred names of Liberty
and Union.
Douglas and the People.
[From the Blairsville Record.]
The Democratic meeting in this borough
on Friday evening last, was of quite a spirited
and decided character ; the utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailed, and although the
persons present came from various sections of
this and the adjoining county of Westmoreland,
and there had been no previous consultation
as to predelictions for any particular candi
date, yet there existed but one sentiment, and
that was moat emphatically in favor of Sena
tor Douglas as the candidate for the next Pres
ident. They fully endorsed the course of the
delegates to the late National Convention,
who voted for Mr. Douglas all the time, and
urged them to be steadfast and true, and to
accept of no compromise candidate. It seems
like the extreme of folly any longer to stem
the current of popular will; and those who
do we fear will be engulphed in polical ruin.
The vox populi has proclaimed for the great
Illinois Senator, and to be the next President
is his manifest destiny.
The Democratic masses will have no other
man ; with him as the standard-bearer, they
will be unconquerable and irresistable. The
illustrious champion of Popular Sovereignty
has triumphed, and will triumph over all op
position. The people are thoroughly disgus
ted with the subject of slavery, and are de
termined to drive it from Congress, and leave
it to be decided where it belongs—the signs
of the times are unmistakable—he who runs
may read. Whatever may have been our
personal preference, we consider it our duty
as the exponant of Democratic opinion, to
bow to the sovereign majesty of the people.
A SHOWER or TOADS.—Wo have all read
about its raining cats and dogs, pitchforks,
and other out of the way things; but at Port
Jervis, N. Y., they had an actual shower of
toads the other day, hundreds having fallen
there during a tremendous shower, which,
"in quantity and quality could only be
likened to the outpourings of a waterspout
at sea." Those of these toads that fell on
the pavement were severely maimed, show
ing that they had fallen from a considerable
height.
GREAT TORNADO AT TEE WEST.--/Warly
One hundred Lives Lost.—The Cincinnati
papers of Wednesday last, are filled with ac
counts of the storm which visited that sec
tion of the country on Monday. It is sup
posed to have extended from Louisville to
Marietta, following the course of the river.—
The damage done is estimated at $1,000,000.
All the towns and villages on the river above
Cincinnati have suffered severely. Thirty
six pairs of coal boats, with 900,000 bushels
of coal are known to have sunk, and it is
feared that nearly 100 lives are lost.
All the steamboats on the river are more or
less injured. At Louisville and New Albany
the storm was not so disastrous but a great
many houses were unroofed and trees and
fences blown down. At Louisville two lives
were lost, and a number of coal boats sunk.
At Carthage, Ohio, the lunatic asylum suf
fered a damage of $15,000. Gov. Corwin's res
idence, at Lebanon Ohio, was unroofed. At
Chilicothe the engine house of the Marietta
and Cincinnati railroad was unroofed, and P.
Garrity, a fireman, killed. Loss to the road
$4,000. At Greenfield, Ohio the Methodist
church suffered a damage of $6,000, and the
Catholic church $3OO. Dwellings, barns,
whole forests of heavy timber, valuable or
chards and fences have been prostrated for
miles. During the storm the waves in the
Ohio river ran very high,
and coal, salt and
produce boats were sunk in great numbers.
The coal alone lost is valued at $75,000.
The Gazette says :
The storm, as it passed Cincinnati, must
have been at least forty miles in breadth, hav
ing reached Independence, Ky., on the south
and Preble county, Ohio, on the north.
The velocity with which this tornado travel
ed may be estimated from the fact that it was
only about two hours in going from Louis
ville to Portsmouth, a distance by an air line
of 160 miles. When it is borne in mind that
this tornado pursued the sinuosities of the
river, it will be seen that its speed must have
been immensely beyond that of the fastest lo
ccmotive ever run.
MAKING SHOES BY STEAM.—The Haverhill
(Hass.) Publisher gives an account of a steam
shoe factory in that place, for sewing the
seams and pegging shoes. The machinery is
all worked by a small five-horse power en
gine. In the basement of the building are
the machines for cutting, stripping, rolling
and shaping the soles. These are then pass
ed to a story above, where the shoes are las
ted, and the outer sole tacked on by hand,
which process prepares them for pegging.—
The pegging machines are simple in their
construction and mode of operation, but per
form the work with dispatch and accuracy,
driving the pegs at the rate of 14 a second.—
One of the most curious operations of the
machine is the manner in which it manufac
tures the pegs for its own use. A strip of
wood of the required width, and neatly laid
in a coil one hundred feet in length, is put
into the machine, and at every revolution it is
moved forward, and a peg cut off 'and driven
into the shoe. The rapidity and unerring
accuracy with which these machines perform
their work is truly astonishing. After being
pegged, the shoes are passed up to the third
story, where the bottoms are smoothed,
scoured and brushed. The fourth story is
occupied by the stitching machines, attended
by females, but run by steam, which saves a
laborious and fatiguing operation.
A WITTY JAIL BIRD.-A short time ago a
man named Crandall made his escape from
the Angelica county, N. Y., jail. For the in
formation of the curious, he has lately writ
ten back to Angelica, the following account
of his escape. It must be very satisfactOry
to his late custodians. He says:—
" I suppose it is a mystery to some how I
got away, consequently I will give you a
brief history of my departure. The modus
operandi was this : I got out of my cell with
ingenuity, ran up stairs with agility, crawled
out of the back window in secresy, slid down
the lightning rod with rapidity, walked out
of the Angelic town with dignity, and am
now basking in the sunshine of pleasure and
liberty."
BRIDGE BLOWN DOWN.—The bridge of the
Chicago and Rock Island railroad, at Rock
Island, was blown down by a violent gale of
wind last Saturday evening. It was 700 feet
long, and the loss is about 520,000.
In Shirleysburg, on the ISth inst., 3l.tncinr.m, wife of
Isaac Mcllonathan ; aged about 30 years. The deceased
leaves a disconsolate fantily of five small children—one an
infant eleven days old.
Died at "The Cedars," Huntingdon Co., on the 15th inst.,
Mrs. SALLIE L. PORTER, Wile of Geo. B. Porter, and daughter
of John Lyon, Esq., in the 29th year of her age.
The deceased has left a large circle of relatives and friends
to mourn her death, but who have reason to rejoice that
they are not called on to " Sorrow even as others which
have no hope" for " what is their loss, is her eternal gain."
In this place, on the 2Sth just., CLARA Limn T.tcons, in
fant daughter of Samuel T. anti Sarah J. Brown, of in
flammation of the lungs, aged about five mouths.
"Mourn not ye whose child bath found
Purer skies and holier ground;
Flowers of bright and pleasant hue,
Free from thorns and fresh with dew.
Mourn not ye whose child bath fled
Prom this region of the dead,
To you winged angel-band,
To a better, fairer laud.
Knowledge in that clime doth grow
Free from weeds of toil and wo,
Joys which mortals may not share,
Mourn ye not your child is there,"
At his residence in this place, on the 2Sth inst. after a
protracted and painful illness, JANES Ilion; in the 70th
year of his age.
The deceased was a native of this county, and was long
and favorably known as a citizen of this place. It is duo
to his memory to say that in all the relations of social
life, and intercourse with his fellow-men, lie has ever sus
tained the character of a kind parent, an affectionate com
panion, an accommodating neighbor and a good citizen.—
Few men have lived a more exemplary life, or died more
universally esteemed and respected by all who knew him.
Of him it may be truly said, ho was an honest man and
the noblest work of God. Ire leaves a devoted and loving
companion, a largo family, and numerous relatives and
friends to mourn his departure. May Ile who "tempereth
the wind to the shorn lamb" be their comfort and stay in
this hour of bereavement and sorrow.

THE BIBLICAL REASON WHY,
A handsome book for Biblical Students and Sunday
School Teachers, and a Guide to Family Scripture Read
ing, beautifully illustrated.—Large 12 mo., cloth, gilt side
and back. Publishers' price $l.
This book makes the Bible a pleasant as well as pro
found subject of study. It leaves no difficult or obscure
point unexplained. It renders every passage clear. It is
exactly the volume that every family, which reads at all
imperatively needs to place beside the Bible, as its best
companion.
THIS "VOLUME ANSWERS 1.493 QUESTIONS IN A
CLEAR MANNER
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,
conveyed in a clear manner, illustrated by many valuable
cuts, and printed on good paper. It constitutes a valuable
addition to the apparatus of the Teacher, Pare.nt, and pri
vate Christian."
Right Rev. ALONZO POTTER, D. P., LT.,. D.
Dishop of itnnsylvania
"I have examined the 'Biblical Reason Why,' and find
it to be a repertory of facts on Biblical subjects, set forth
in a plain and intelligiplo way. Indeed, lam surprised
at the amount of matter that is compressed into this vol
tune. For use in families and schools, I consider it the
best book of the kind I have seen."
Rev. JOHN McCLINTOCK, D. D., LL. D.,
President of the Troy rniversity, and Pastorof St. Paul's
Church (Methodist Episcopal,) New Tbrk.
"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 largo 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."
Rev. JOSEPH it. KENNARD,
Pastor of the Eighth street Baptist - Church, Philadelphia.
