Young Mon's Christian Associ

tion."
--We received the first number of

sure life, property and live stock, and

recommend this firm to the considera
tion of the public.
—Mr. A. E. Bradley, of New York,
delivered a lecture on Temperance in
the Court House on Thursday evening
last. Ho gave every evidence of a
pleasing speaker, and his remarks I
were devoid of anything that could of-
fend any ono. Such speakers accom
plish permanent good, and should be
kept in the service.
—The frame dwelling opposite the
Globe office, occupied by Mr. Levi
Westbrook, was sold on Thursday last
to Mr. John IL Westbrook for $3,000.
"Boss" has been a resident of "ye an•
cient borough" for fifty-five years, and
ho now leaves for• the town of Alliance,
Ohio, to engage in the boot and shoe
business. We wish him success.
—Many of our citizens were out
playing "shovel mud" last week. This
is a game getting popular now-a-days,
and it can be played in the street or
in the garden. This amusement is
different from others, because it always
adds to the comfort of the players, and
good players are in demand.
—A public meeting for the purpose
of receiving subscriptions to the capi
tal stock of the Stone Creek Railroad
Company will be held at Meilevy's
Fort on Saturday, the 16th of May.—
Let all the friends of progress be pre
sent to give this worthy enterprise
their encouragement and assistance.
—We believe we have spoken of our
Cemetery before, and we now ro assert
that there is groat room for improve
ment in and around the entrance, and
elsewhere. We suggest that a gate
be put by the side of the present one,
for the accommodation of those who
visit the graves of their departed. Tho
present mode of getting over the fence
is voted a decided nuisance.
—Rev. 11. M. Johnson, D. D., Pres
ident of Dickinson College at Carlisle,
and Rev. H. L. Baugher, D. D., Presi
dent of Pennsylvania College at Get•
tysburg, have both died within a few
days. Their loss will be greatly felt
in their respective institutions. Dick
inson College is under the control of
the Methodist Episcopal church and
Pennsylvania College is a Lutheran
institution.
—An old store keeper, somewhere
in this State, tolls that be used to rig
out many a lady, from head to foot,
for ono dollar, thus: Six yards of cali
co. at six cents per yard, 36 cents; one
pair of shoes, 40 cents; one pair of
stockings, 6 cents; one bonnet, 18 cts.
We are afraid the days of such low
prices will not come in this generation,
as we live in fast times and faster pri
ces. The ladies, too, would think a
dollar "rig" too cheap to sail under in
which to catch a beau.
Bold Robbery.—Safe Robbed
The safe in the office of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company at this
place was broken open and despoiled
of $165 in money on Tuesday night of
last week. There being no watchman
in the building, the thieves effected an
entrance into the depot, and from.
thence into the office, without moles
tation, whoa they deliberately pro
ceeded to break a hole in the door of
the safe, (a chilled iron one and sup.
posed to be burglar proof,) and charg
ing it with powder blew it into smith
ereens. The rascals doubtless antici
pated a rich haul,' but only realized
some 865 for their trouble, the balance
being in checks and not available. No
clue, we pelieve, bas been obtained to
tho WI) ttrators of the burglary.—

Railroad Meetings
A meeting of citizens favorable to the erec
tion of the projected railroad from Hunting
don to .111cAlevy's Fort was held in the Court
House, pursuant to previous notice, on Wed
nesday evening the 15th irket.
The meeting was organized by the appoint
ment of Henry Cornprobst as Chairman, and
J. Simpson Africa and Robert M'Divitt, Sec
retaries.
The object of tho meeting was then stated
by R. Bruce Petriken, Esq., to secure the in
corporation of a railroad between the points
specified, -which, though in its present shape,
might seem to be a local road, yet must fi
nally become one of the links in the chain of
railroads running north and south through
the State. The charter secured, incorporates
a company with a capital of $300,000 un
der the law of 1849, and in order that it be
come a law it would be necessary• to pay
$llO enrollment tax to lift the charter, after
which the next step would be to got suffi
cient stock to secure letters patent from the
Government.
The company can then proceed to elect
officers, make preliminary surveys, &c. An
experimental line he said was once run over
the same route and the estimated expense of
building a road over it would not exceed
$5OOO a mile. The advantages of such a
road to the farmers of this neighborhood and
the citizens of this town were referred to,
after which it was
Resolved, Thnt, in order to ascertain the
wishes and sentiments of the people on the
subject, a committee of three be appointed
by the Chair to raise a sufficient amount of
money to pay the enrollment tax on the
charter.
The chair appointed as said committee, R.
Bruce Petriken, Esq, J. Simpson Africa,
add John Jackson.
Resolved, That the corporators in the act
to incorporate the Stone Creek Railroad Co.,
ho requested to prepare and sign a call for a
meeting to receive subscriptions, preparatory
to an organization of the company, at as early
a day as practicable.
Immediately after the adjournment a
meeting of citizens favorable to the erection
of the Washington and Buffalo Railroad was
organized by appointing John Dougherty,
Esq., Chairman, and It. McDivitt, Secre
tary.
The object of this mooting as briefly stated
by the Chairman, was a preparatory step to
wards the completion of a railroad connec
tion between Washington and the Lakes, by
way of Fort Louden and Huntingdon, to Buf
falo and Erie. Ho suggested the appoint.
ment of delegates from the counties of Fulton
and Franklin to confer together in regard to
the proposed route, &c.
The following resolution was offered by
Capt. 11. C. Weaver, and adopted.
Resolved, That the citizens of Franklin
and Fulton counties be respectfully requested
to meet in convention at such time and place
they may select, to appoint delegates to meet
similar delegates appointed at this conven
tion to determine which of the three railroad
laws passed by the last Session of the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania it will be for the best
interests of the persons ir.terestod under
which to raise subscriptions to the capital
stock thereof and proceed to organize a com
pany to , build the Louden _division of the
Washington and Buffalo Railroad.
Capt. 11. C. Weaver, Maj. R. B. Potriken,
James Kelley, Esq., Michael Stair and Thus.
E. Orbison were appointed as said delegates.
Letters from the President of the Buffalo
and Washington Railroad, at Buffalo, were
read before the meeting which were expres
sive of very encouraging and satisfactory as
surances of the ultimate success of the enter-
prise.
Major Petriken offered the following reso
lution, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the friends of the Buffalo
and Washington Railroad he also invited to
meet with the aforesaid delegates, from this
and other counties of the State.
The charter of the Huntingdon, Fulten,and
Franklin Railroad company was read, and
after a few eloquent remarks by the Chair
man, in relation to the necessity, advantages
and importance of the enterprise, the meet
ing adjourned.
[COMMUNICATED.]
The brief communication in your last issue
from the classic pen of "T. P. C.," in refer
ence-to the (loath of John Reed, Esq., as a
worthy member of the "House of York,"
brings fresh to my recollection many pleas
ant and some sorrowful scenes enacted in
that House. "Fond memory brings the light
of other days around me." Of the numerous
and happy hearts that filled that House with
gladness, how few still beat in the land, of
the living!
Mrs. Clark, the excellent lady who kept
the House of York, nnd Arthur and Ann, her
son and daughter, all throe are dead. Dr.
Rowan Clark, of Blair county, is the only sur
vivor of that interesting family. Ellen An
derson and• John P. Anderson, and little
Willie, are all deed, and A. B. Cornyn, Esq.,
(to whom Miss Ellen was married,) with his
wonderful and fascinating powers of conver
sation, he too is dead. All the Dorsey chil
dren, John, Greenberg, Lizzie, (who was
married to Tom Duncan.) and Harry, are
dead. Col. Wm. Buchanan, with his great
physical strength and wonderful powers of
endurance, but with what John Williamson
called his "bumble bee" voice, is dead ; and
Col. Wharton, with his generous heart and
manly form, he too is dead. Judge Burn
side, the younger, and Judge Wilson, both
welcome guests at the House of York, are
dead. Mr. Massey, from West Virginia, who
taught in the Academy, nnd whose respected
widow and son still reside in Huntingdon, is
dead ; and Dixon from Illinois, who also
taught in the Academy, and who was so
agreeable and fascinating in his manners
that on hie death-bed he coueed and won the
heart
.of Miss —, then a netnber of the
House of York; poor Dixon, he died in that
House. James Clark, the genial and talent
ed editor of the "Journal," ho too is dead;
and Isaac Fisher, with his fine intellect, be
is dead. I have often wished he had lived to
I see the downfall of negro slavery in the Uni
ted States, for which he labored so long and
born the reproach of ninny. What has be
come of G. W. Johnston, of Westmoreland,
a handsome and gallant member of the House
in its palmiest days ; does lie survive? who
can tell? And Miss Phillips, the excellent
teacher, who afterwards married a Mr. Dob
bins, of York State, what has become of her?
who can tell?
Wo had some gay times too. When "Sha
ver's Creek," "Shade Gap" and "Chißisque
qua" (let him that readeth understand) were
all three on the floor at the Lame time, and
neither of whom could dance any more than
a bear, my word for it, that was a lively co
tillion.
Ono word in regard to the character of
John Rood whom we all so much respected.
When his father made his will, for some
reason ho left his estate, the bulk, if not the
whole of it to his eon John, who after his fa
ther's death threw the will into the fire and
let the estate be divided equally to his broth
ore and sisters under the intestate laws.
This feet was told to me by Major Steel since
the death of John Rood. Another fact I
mention- from personal knowledge. Moro
than once when Dlr. Reed was Register, &c.,
when a poor widow would comp to administer
on her husband's estate, Mr. Reed while the
bail or others were present would take his
fens for granting letters, but immediately af
terwards would follow the widow to her hotel
and privately . rliturn to her every cent of fees
she had paid him in the office. The mem
ory of the just is blessed. B.
Xter'Aliss D. L. Baker, respectfully in
forms the public, that she is now ready
to oblige all that may favor her with
their custom. Dress making and sew•
jug of all kinds done. She is agent for

A Female Forger
• During ono day last week, ono of the bold
est forgeries of whioh wo over know a female
to be guilty, was committed by a woman by
the name of Kate Stover, who resides near
Yellow Springs, in this county. It seems
this fair, but frail creature, being out of
funds, went to the First National Bank of
this city, with what purported. to be a check
for seven hundred dollars, drawn by one
Emma Hite, of Golden Springs, payable to
the order of Daniel K. Ramey, of Hollidays
burg, and endorsed by him. The officers of
the bank having no acquaintance with fair
one, sent her to get it endorsed by some re
sponsible person. She soon returned with it
having forged the endorsement of Richard
McLain, with whom she alleged she was ac
quainted. She was then paid three hnndred
dollars in money, and an .obligation given
her for four hundred dollars. But'they soon
found that the whole thing was a forgery,
that Emma Bile had never drawn it, and
that neither Ramey nor Mr. McLain had
endorsed it. We understand that Mr. Ramey
having obtained a warrant for her arrest,suc
ceeded in getting back tho money drawn from
the bank. But why is she not arrested and
punished? A few days ago, this same woman
imposdd upon several of our merchants by
personating others, and obtaining from them
a largo amount of goods by false pretenses.—
She was then permitted to escape, and we
hope that the vigilance of our police will not
again permit her to escape the condign pun
ishment of the law.—.Altoona Vindicator.
