Preaching in German Reformed
Church on next Sabbath evening.
The School Direetore of this
county meet to-day in the Court House
for tho purpose of considering the poli
cy of inereaeing the salary of the
County Superintendent.
—Some neighboring farmers are
commencing to flit already. From in
,dieations we o think there will be a flit
ting time in Spring. •
—Lieut. GOO. C. Wilson, of Porter
'township, is an his way home from
Danville, where Ite_had been confined
a prisoner forlinv43ral months.
—A gentleman complaining of the
income tax, says he cannot pat on his
boots in the morning without a stamp.
subscriber states that one of his
objects in taking the newspaper is that
it learns his children to read. Why
can't every parent think likewise, and
subscribe for a fireside sheet.
—A revival has been progressing for
the past week in the Presbyterian
church of this placer It meets with
success. .
The ;Hollidaysburg Register of the
22d says that within the last ten days
there were two hundred and thirty
nine volunteers and twenty-three sub
stitutes inustemil into the United
States service at the Provost Marshal's
office.
—ln a private note to us, a lady
complains of a "deplorable practice" in
the public streets of the town. We
-shall call the attention of the high
constable to what is complained of.
—Several of the townships of this
county are out of the draft, and others
aro working hard to get out. We
hope all may sneceed.
—The "skedaddlers" of Bedford
and Somersetcounties still continue to
arrive, under the escort of the proper
military authorities. They are sent
ton to Harrisburg . and Chambersburg.
—The warm days of last week had
the very undesirable effect of melting
the snow, spoiling to a considerable
extent the fine sleighing, and making
a disagreeable llow of water. There
ism use walking on certain pavements
in this place in such weather.
Our readers will be enlightened
and benefitted in perusing an article
headed "American Affairs in Ireland,"
on the first page of this number. The
"ould country" has still a friendly feel
ing toward us. •
—There will be an examination of
applicants to teach in the public
schools of this borough during the
next term, in room No. 1 of the school
building, on Saturday morning next,
-at ten o'clock. All applicants must
'present themselves on that day.
Two-companies have been recrui
ted in Blair county, One under com
mand of Captain Robert Johnston, of
Williamsburg, and the other under
Captain S. At Andrews. Other com
panies aro forming throughout the
•district. The full number of 1,604 will
it is thought be attained without a
draft being necessary.
Washington's Birthday was ob
served, as is usual for such memorable
days in this borough, in a quiet, peace
ful and unconcerned manner. We
- were led to wonder where Washington
and his deeds aro remembered—not
in the hearts of hie countrymen, surely.
The. National Bank suspended busi
mess for the day; but there was no
public holiday—at least we couldn't
see it.
-- If there is a poet in our midst
- who wishes to degrade himself by ex
patiating on a lofty subject, we sug
gest that his pen and thoughts be used
upon the nslid, soft and charming topic
:that everywhere meets our gaze, and
-often embraces our pedal coverings - 7
that universal topic of mud, mud, MUD !
—Onr town is thinned to a noticea
ble extent of its young men, who en
listed and are still enlisting in the com
panies being raised. The majority'of
those who left this place were those
not liable to draft, but wont to save
others. They deserve to be remem
bered by our people, and especially by
those whom they rescued from the
clutches of the draft. We hop they
will all return.at the expiration of their
term,pf service, baying safely encoun
tered a soldier's perils.
A fetv car loads of "Johnies"
passed through here on Sunday last.
They were exchanged, and judging
from their appearance they must have
been highly fed in our Western pris
ons, or, rather, camps. They will pro.
sent a sad contrast when viewed with
the Union prisoners in Southern pens,
for whom they are exchanged.
_Thorp wero several destructive
rairrcfid Accidents last week. One
near Altoona in which four men were
killed, and twenty five wounded, and
one near MoVeytown, which resulted
in the destruction of a number of cars.
Several moreof oursoldier friends
aro home on a visit: Capt. T. B. Read
and Lieut. J. B. Shontz, of Co. D, 205th
Regt.—and Sergeant (acting Captain)
Wm. Snyder Decker was granted a
furlough of 30 days for gallantry at
Hatcher's Run. He was one of two
who first charged across the Ran—his
partner was killed and Decker made a
narrow escape. We notice a number
of. others (strangers to us) moving
round. All look well.
—An oil company has been started
in Lewistown with a view to boring
for petroleum in Decatur township, in
the north-eastern portion of Mifflin co.
It is said that an examination was
made by an old expert in the oil busi
ness, who reports that oil is sure to
be found in that locality. We infer
that our men of enterprise will not be
far behind our neighbors in forming
Chß companies to bore in this county.
We hear that there is a company in
Mill Creek which designs boring at an
early date on the land of Mr. Wilson.
—ln the east a novel mode of get
ting substitutes is practiced. The
substitute offers himself in the market,
and the brokers bid against each other
until the highest price for the man's
services is attained. It reminds us of
the manner in which cattle at auction
are bid off, and also of the way in
which "chattels" (negroes) were form
erly bid upon by slave.owners in the
South, the only difference being that
in the substitute's ease he voluntarily
offers himself and services. This is
an odd mode of making money, but
at the same timo it is very degrading.
—Since the eleventh hour and fifty
ninth minute has arrived with respect
to the draft, our young men through.
out the county are energetically work
ing to escape the indiscriminate doings
of the wheel of ill—luck. In townships
where the general feeling is expressed
that volunteering is preferable to draft,
the bounty inducement is freely '
brought to light, and those who ex
pressed the desire to volunteer gener
ally take the reward and shun Draft's
hideousness. In other townships
where no bounty is offered, volunteers
are escaping and crediting themselves
to their richer neighbors, thus increa
sing the chances of the unlucky town
ships they deserted. These townships
are to be pitied in . their poverty ; but
there is only one reniedv—for the
draftable men to onlistiii masse, and
allow the wheel to call upon whom it
may, but take the women, if it dare!
Before the draft does come off, it may
be necessary to take another enrolment
to ascertain whether there are any
men in some townships at all.
Gen: Hancock's Corps.--To Veterans.
We urge upon all veteran soldiers,
whether they desire to serve their
country or not, tonread
_an advertise
ment in our issue to-dayipertaining to
General Hancock's new corps. All
soldiers who have fought under this
gallant leader, and all soldiers who
have heard of his_servims—titid ex
ploits, agree in saying that Hancock
is a military General. Besides this
great consideration of having a skill
ful military leader, the_, bounties and
pay given to veterans who enlist in his
Corps are very liberal : The net pay,
including bounty, for one year is $1,131;
for two years, $1,587; and for three
years, $2,043. ' These two facts—a
good General and liberal pay—should
induce every veteran to again enlist
in this favored Corps. Decide quickly
and act promptly, as the desire is "to
put the thing through before the first
of Nay." Recruiting offices are about
to be organized, we understand, in dif
ferent sections of the country, but
those desiring to enlist now can signify
thoir determination by addressing
Benjamin Franklin, Chief Detective
Department Police, layor's Office,
Philadelphia.
Important to Landlords.
The stamps required on landlords"
And tenants' agreements are not "fifty
cents" as formerly, but are materially
changed by the last act of Congress as
follows:
"Lease, agreement, memorandums
or contract for tho hire, use or rent of
any land, tenement, or portion there—
of, where the rent or rental value its
three hundred dollars per annum, or
less, fifty cents; where the rent or
rental value exceeds the sum of three
hundred dollars por annum, for each
additional two hundred dollars, or
fractional part thereof in excess of
three hundred dollars, fifty conts."—
All agreements, leases, &c., not stamp•
ed in conformity with said act are void.

a scout for General Sheridan, was shot
through the lungs three weeks ago

Huntingdon dr. , llrond Top Railroad
During the year 1864 the Bedford
Railroad, with all its franchises, was
purchased by and consolidated with
the Huntingdon and Broad Top Rail
road and Coal Company at a cost of
$70,000, whereby the lino Was extend•
ed from the Pennsylvania Railroad at
Huntingdota—to_the-t,,..--of---D.arolsz
This movement, says the Philadelphia
Gazette, derives importance from the
incorporation of the Southern Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, and the
certainty that the line of that work
will forthwith be put under contract
and built from Bedford to Connells
ville, and so the route from Hunting
don to Pittsburgh, via Broad Top, Bed
ford and Connellsville, may be run as
a through lino tho. moment that the
now link shall have been completed.—
By. this .arrangement the western di—
vision of the Southern Pennsylvania
Railroad will be rendered available and
lucrative as soon as built, without
waiting for the building of the eastern
division.
This connection will largely enhance
the value and importance of the Broad
Top Railroad. At present its trade is
limited by the difficulty of obtaining
transportation for its coal, to obviate
which six hundred now eight-wheeled
cars have been ordered by the Penn—
sylvania and Reading Railroads, for
the Broad Top coal trade to Port Rich-
I the ' Mmiil Ton Company is
to increa•c iiTiTil-AlVrp'OWerlintiliteil—
ities in prlportion. Fifty cars are also
being built for the canal coal trade oast
from Huntingdon, and the enlarge.
ment of the canal, which is now in
progress, will be finished by the spring
of 1866. The iron mines along the
lino of the Broad Top road have been
opened, sidings built for the shipment
of ore, and many.iinprovements_mad
at the Broad Top coal mines. Alto—
gether the prospects of this work seem
very fair.

On Saturday, February 18th, 1865,
at the residence of her son, Semi. T.
Brown, Esq., in this place, Mrs. JANE
BROWN, aged 67 years an 10 months.
The deCeased came to reside in this
county, in 1808. About twenty-three
years ago she was left a widow with a
largo family of young children, and in
rather limited circumstances. By the
blessing of Providence, however, and
her untiring industry, she lived to see
her children grow up around her and
become useful and respected members
Of society, and, what was of far more
importance in her estimation, all pro
fessed Christians. All her children, liv
ing, were present and attended her re
mains to their last resting-place, except
the Rev. John D. Brown, now a mis
sionary in India.
She was a woman of more than or
dinary intelligence and firmness of
character, and kept herself fully infer
mod on the great questions of her time.
She manifested the deepest solicitude
for the success of our Govornmeet in
its present - struggle, and her prayers
were always for its triumph and safety.
At her residence in Huntingdon, on
Monday, February 13, 1865, ELEANOR
ORBISON, widow of the late William
Orbison, Esq., dec'd., in tho 77th year

MILITARY EXECUTION.
A BAD AND IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
HARPER'S FERRY, Fob. 17, 1365
Two mon, Charles Stewart, 6th U.
S. Cavalry, and JOhn Jackson, sth N.
Y. Artillery, wore sentenced to bo
si.ot to death by musketry for the
crime of desertion. All arrangements
were made. •The execution- was set
for the middle of the forenoon, out on
Bolivar Heights. All the troops at
the post were drawn up to witness the
punishment due to a soldier's greatest
crime. Many of the citizens, too, were
out. Everything was orderly and de,
--curuus T showing well- for - arose-who
had the management of the proceed
ings. The troops, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Murray, formed a
hollow square, open at a point in line
with the firing party. General . .
Ste
venson and stal were in the centre of
the square. The cortege' from the
prison, led by our efficient Provost
Marshal, Major Pratt, 34th Massachu
setts, with two ambulances, in which
were the prisoners, surrounded by a
suitable guard, and accompanied by
the Band of the sth New York Heavy
Artillery, playing the Dead March,
came to the place of execution about
half past eleven o'clock.
Two coffins, painted black, were
placed upon the snow covered ground
within the square, a short distance a
part. The condemned were led for
ward and placed beside their coffins,
about ten or twelve paces in front of
the firing party. They were both
young men of ordinary appearance.—
They seemed considerably affected by
their situation. For a short time they
engaged in earnest prayer with the
two Catholic priests who attended
them. The fateful moment had ar
rived. There, upon that snow-white,
sunlit plain, the great hills a solemn
background, these two men stood upon
the very brink of an awful eternity.—
The flags they had forsaken waved
-11rOLIALL I , a u d
known were around and before them,
no longer as friends and brothers, but
as executioners. Every one felt the
solemnity of the occasion. The last
prayer was said;
their few friends,
one a gray haired father, fell back.
The condemned stood by their cof
fins; their arms were pinioned, and the
bandages that were to shut out the
light of the world forever were being
ted orderly dashed into the square and
handed General Stevenson a dispatch.
With a calm face,.but a heart full of
man's finest feelings, the General read
that Cin ili F z o
priests, had invoked Executive clem
ency, and Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, had granted a
longer lease of life. There was a feel
ing of relief throughout the crowd, and
many an earnest "God bless them"
went up to the Groat White Throne
for Chaplain Fitzgibbon and Abraham
Lincoln. Three minutes more and all
would have been over.
That a deserter, who disregards his
oath and his honor, his God and his
country, should die, is but just, and
every right-minded anan, particularly
every soldier, will say,, let them die;
but this case was peculiar. These
men were two of six who had all been
alike sentenced by, General Court
Martial, and friends had interposed to
give the other four another chance for
life. There was then a sympathy for
these men, and when the'President de
cided on examining the records in the
case, and giving them, too, another
chance, the whole assemblage felt re
lieved and grateful.—Batt. American.
