If report be true, he is a b'hoy, and is not particular where he :goes in for something to eat. —A fire was discovered about cloven o'clock on Monday sight of last week inlthe each house, in the rear of the . 14i1, in this place. The flames were extinguished before any great damage wai, inflicted. The fire originated from hot ashes having been thrown in the ash•box. understand that a party in -this place have purchased the effects of the Shirleysburg Herald office, and intend starting a paper at Mt. Union, this county. There, appears to be truth in rumor, if we can judge from the fact that the Herald has not come to us for several weeks. —We were in error last week in sta ting that the dedication of the new col ored church in this place would be on Friday, the 14th. The church' will be .dedicated on Sunday next, the 16th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, by Bishop Williams. Our citizens are invited BO expected to contribute liberally. —The Huntingdon *Brass Cornet and the Bell Ringers' Silver. Cornet Bands gave a public. musical enter tainment in front of the Exchange Ho tel, to a large crowd, Saturday evening last Both bands showed to advantage, our LoYs not being in the least behind their worthy competitors. By the by, oughtn't the Huntingdon Band to have .silver instruments? —The "immortal philosopher J. N." paid a visit last week to Jeff. Davis, located at Fortress Monroe. After ex pounding his theory to him for a short time, and ondeaioring to "lift the veil and remove the pressure" he was con ducted unceremoniously from His Ma jesty (?) Davis' presence. He has had the satisfaction of seeing his views ex tensively published. Aah Miller, the new postmas ter at this place, has removed the post office to the old Broad Top corner.— This is not a very convenient or desi• ruble locality, but the successive pro prietors of that untenable position are obliged to move it wherever they can find room. Our citizens would not nor postmasters either, if we had a permanent post-office. We don't pelievo in rotary post-offices. —The building of a Towd Hall is : again all the talk with those of our citizens who were badly disappointed in not hearing the Peak Family per formance. Whorl the foundation of the building is ready for the brick we will let our readers know that they may go and see. Huntingdon should have a good market house and town hall. Make them the questions at the spring elections. —Disappointed--The Peak Family of Bell Ringers, and our citizens gene rally. When the company arrived here on Friday they discovered that the County. Commissioners had passed a resolution closing the Court Room against all shows or exhibitions. We suppose there would be no ohjectons to occupying the room occasionally for the amusement of our citizens it it was possible to keep mischievous boys and young men from damaging the falmi tore and taking charge generally of the room when occupied for such purpose. Revenue Stampq Can again be bad at Lewis' Book Store. Orders by mail shall receive prompt attention.. The Troubles of a Troupe In our last week's issue we announ ced that the Peak and Berger Family of Bell Ringers would give an enter tainment in the Court House, on Fri day and Saturday evenings. The troupe came, saw, but did not conquer, as will bo seen hereafter. The first thing to be done was to fit up the Court Room for the exhibition, and accordingly they went to the Clerk for the keys, but ho informed them of the determination of the Commissioners not to let any thing of a public nature within the Room. Then the fun com menced. All the Bell Ringers wore here, and the question was to leave or not to leave. Fortunately, or unfor tunately, some of our citizens interest ed themselves in behalf of the troupe, and one or two were persuaded to pen etrate Oneida township, about fire miles in the country, and endeavor to got the consent of the Chief of Commis sioners, Mr. Jacob Miller. The earnest solicitation of our citizens and the lib erality of the troupe had no effect on the resolute firmness of Jacob. The party returned and informed the citi zens that the troupe could not exhibit in the Court House that evening—Fri day. The next day, renewed efforts were made to shako the indomitable determination - of Mr. Miller, and not withstanding the other two commis sioners had been telegraphed for and had partially consented, Mr. Miller would not yield. Tho troupe thinking all efforts useless in convincing "such a man," after a little further prospect ing, concluded to leave the town, with out giving a concert. ThiS occurrence elicited a great deal of discussion amongst our citizens. The sympathy was about epially divided between the troupe and Mr. Miller. All regretted however that the troupe could notgivo their entertainment, and had met with such a, disappointment, while not a few admired the "heroic valor" of Mr. Mil ler. Wo aro with the class that are sorry the troupe was disappointed and yet give credit to Mr. Miller, for arous ing such a degree of agitation on the subject of erecting a town-hall. It is now certain that the Court House will not be used hereafter for entertain ments, and if our people must enjoy themselves and be on a par with other towns, we say they should , have a ball. We have discussed this subject hereto fore in our columns and the recent event has only confirmed our convic tions. Let us have a Hall, and fur ther difficulty will be avoided. The Swiss Bell Miners The anticipations and hopes of poor humanity are constantly subject to dis appointment. This deplorable fact has been obviously demonstrated here by the County Commissioners refusing our Court Houso to. the' Treupo of Swiss 801 l Ringers, when we were all on the qui vice to hear. While thus musing rather depondingly in our sanctum on the frailty of our hopes a happy thought struck us, and with all dispatch we hastened to S. E. Henry & Co's Mammoth Store, where they constantly keep an endless variety of Dry Goods, Groceries, Carpets, Oil Cloths, Ladies Furs, Cloaks and Shawls, Cedarware, Qucensware, &c., &e. And being satisfied that we could not ask the gentlemanly proprietors for any thing but what they could promptly furnish, we quietly bought a ..'penny whistle" for our oldest Boy, and wended our way home moralizing thus, "Life is real, life is earnest," &c., &c. =Mil Some days ago we were invited to call at the depot of a traveling store for cheap goods. Many of our c iti zens , as usual, patronized the concern, pur chased freely, and afterwards some of them learned that they had been pur chasing goods furnished by a regular dealer in this place. Of course the traveling merchant had to have a pro- fit and it came off his customers who thought they were buying cheaper from him than they could from the home merchant who furnished the goods. Some people deserve to bo "sold" occasionally, especially the few who are always ready to receive, but seldom, if ever, feel inclined to bestow favors. The true rule to adhere to, to build up Your. town and its citizens, is to deal with your citizens for every thing you want, if it is possible you can be accommodated as well, or nearly so, by giving them the preference. Now Temperance Paper., We received the first cumber of the Leader, a new temperance paper pub lished at Hollidaysburg, Blair county, by John H. Keatley, Esq. It is a folio, seven columns to a page, and shows signs of mechanical taste, as well as ed itorial ability. We hope the editor success, and to insure success to a wor thy object of this nature, those in favor of the temperance cause, whether in Orders or not, should patronize it lib erally. The terms of the paper are $2,00 a year for single copy, and $1,50 for clubs of ten or more. Who Can Boat It Mr. David W. Witldsmith, of Oneida township, raised the past season on a tWelith part of an acre, potatoes worth $l2, and turnips worth $28,20—540,00. That's good farming. Can it be beat ? AWll.on. A. A.

The particulars aro as fol lows. As Mr. Wm. McClelland, Sr., an old and respected citizen of this vi cinity was returning to his home, from a neighbors, where ho had been butch ering, be was walking on the South track when a freight train came along with several of the hind cars uncoupled following a few rods behind. Mr. Mc- Clelland stepped off the track to let it pass, but being hard of hearing and supposing all the train had passed, he stepped on again as the latter part of the train reached him, which knocked him down. The cars passing over him, cut off part of his right foot, and other wise horribly mangling him, causing instant death. The deceased was 67 years of age, and leaves a largo family to mourn his sudden death. A Roy /Killed On Wednesday night, the 28th ult., about ten o'clock, a row took place among the boys employed at the roll ing mill of B. M. Johnston, in this place. The watchman had put John Jones, aged 13 years, to watch the other boys. Milton Stevens, aged 16 years,'son of Benjamin Stevens, took a piece of brass casting and concealed it. Jones reported the fact to the watchman, who made Stevens show him where he had concealed it. Ste vens then attacked Jones, and said he would whip him, for tel ing on him. Jones told him he could whip him, but if ho undertook it, ho would hit him. As Stevens approached him, Jones threw a: small piece of iron at him which struck him in the temple, cans ing his death in a few minutes.—/Tol lidaysburgh Whig. Frac Lecture. Gen.
