LOCAL & PERSONAL
'UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Voters of Huntingdon county
in favor 'of sustaining the Administra
tion in its efforts to put down the re
. bellion inaugurated by Southern trai
"tors, and opposed to Secession, its ad
,
vsteates and apologists _North or South,

tive boroughs and townships, on. Sat
urday; the 30th April next, at the usu
al places and times, and elect two del
egates to represent them in a County

ttebels Captured.
On Saturday last a party of rebels
entered this place, for what purpose is
unknown ,to us. -Two of the number
were arrested and lodged in jail, to
await further disposition ; the remain
der made their escape, to be arrested,
we hope, in some other locality. We
do not deem it safe policy to allow re
bels, who profess . to be deserters, to
travel at large through the country ,
especially at this time, when move
ments of a raiding character are on
foot. It is best to be sure that such
men are deserters seeking work and
protection from the North, and even
then to watch their actions with scru
tiny. We commend our officers for
their promptness in arresting these
ray-so "runaways."
'rho Draft.
For the information of our readers,
in general,_but more particularly for
the "itchy" ones, we will state that
the draft, which always is to be, and
yet is not, has again been postponed
till the Ist of June. This is undoubt
edly the last postponement, and the
last chance for those who have any
dread of being snatched by the 'tongs'
to voluntarily shoulder the musket.
There is new, we may say, but one
alternative; to take 468 dollar§ and a
surplus in bounty money, for three
years' service, or to pay 300 dollars in
a moment from a hard-earned sum.
The New ..Tins.l)
There.will soon be an abundant sup
ply, it is hoped, of pennies, to meet all
demands for this necessity small
change. ; The
_present_ small nickel
cent weighs 72 grains, and contains
eighty per cent. of copper and twelve
of nickel. Tho new cent will weigh
only 48 grains, and will consist of 90
five per cent. of copper and five per
cent. of tin. Now 2'cent pieces of the
size of a silver quarter, containing loss
nickel, than the present one cent coin,
and abundance of copper, with five
parts of tin, aro soon, it is believed, to
receive the sanction. of Congress and
bo issued for circulation.
Insturned to his Moine

the Cambria court of murder in the
second degree for the shooting of Jor

•pring.
We now believe that spring is fair
ly on her way, and that ye tillers of
the soil need not fear for any strayed
wintry blast to come o'er the main
to desolate the fruits of their -labor,
nor destroy the seed and plant now
entrusted to the care of Mother Earth.
If you do have any such fear for the
results we advise you not to mope
over such an idea, but prepare for the
worst as Weh for the best.

"Slitter Is Alt.
We are daily surprised to hear of
the rapid and increasing rise in the
price, of butter. -We cannot imagine
what is the cause of it, nor can anyone
else, except those who deal in the oily
substance, and who wish . to make rao•
ney (honestly, of course.) In this
place it has ridea to thirty-4s° cents
and in the cities is from forty to six
ty cents, per pound. • If it continues 'to
increase in price the community will
cease spreading their bread, and. be
more economical in the culinary use
of the article ; then the speculators will,
perhaps, repent. Anti•butter-eating
societies will form, and the farthere
who have formerly . made money by
selling butter, Will then have but a
"poor show." We hope all dealers in
this article of consumption will take
warning, and bo more reasonable in
their prices,
