(lc Nit. ItIIINTINGDON, PA. 'Tuesday morning Oct. 18, 1870. WM. ISATIS, } EDITORS HUGH LINDSAY, The "Globe" has the largest number of Valdes of any other payer published in the ounty. Advertisers should.remenzber this. There will be a groat demand for *heat from the ti. S. next year, not only on account of the war which has taken away men from the agricul tural pursuit in France and Prussia, but also because the English wheat crop, it is estimated, will full 6,0 0 0,000 bushels short of last year. Wo can feel safe in urging our farmers to till their land to their utmost capacity. IM.A. lively season is anticipated at Washington.. The hotels are preparing for vigorous campaign, and the hack drivers are getting ready to "stop and deliver." It looks as if a good many , ijobs"are to be done by Congressmen, the big job of "reconstruction" having exhausted the most of the wind and fury of the former statesmen, and there will be a general picking up of crumbs. A:rush of lobbyists is expec ted to fill up the halls and nooks to whisper in the ears of their rpets" what they deem best for the wel-fare of the Government, and altogether it looks as if there was "business" to be done. We hope Congressmen will stand the storm, and not let the anchor of the ship of State fall in too deep water. tarTboJobilstoWn Tribune, Mr. Dior rell's.organ, is very sore over the re sult. Speaking of the election in this county, it says : "The monstrous treachery of the po litical cut-throats and assassins of Huntingdon county, was not anticipa ted even by the few honest Republi cans' who reside there, and we, of course could not be prepared for it," (Speer's majority.) The "few honest Republicans," wo suppose, are those who crushed the ticket last year. Again: it.says : "Rich in political speculators and scoundrels, and its honest men noted for 'their lack of political sagacity, we have but to hope that in a new ap. portionnieni the county of Hunting don may not be annexed to Cambria foi . , any purpose whatever." . SoinebOdy here Mr. Morrell has had . confidence in lacks political sagacity. Wecoilld name several, and they are the kind Mr. Morrell most admired. The President's Proclamation. Under date of the Bth inst., Presi dent Grant issued a proclamation in regard:to belligerent French and Prus sian vessels in our waters. The where ages refer to the President's neutrality proclamation and state the apprehen sion that the belligerents may be temp ted:to abuse the . hospitality accorded toothein in,dur waters. The body of the proOlamation declares that the har bors of the United States shall not be used by either the Prussians or French in preparing for war. It declares that vessels of .war- of either party shall notAeave any of our ports within twenty-four hours of the departure of a merchantman of either party. It de clares that belligerent war vessels, either French or__Prussian, shall not remain in our ports -unless it is for needed supplies or repairs. It lastly declares that a war ship-of either bob ligerents having once entered a port of the United States shall not re-enter a United States port until after a visit to a port Of its own government. The Result in the County. .The" result in this county is just what we expected it would be—and just what we said it would be—with Morrell as the Republican candidate. Two years ago this county gave Mr. Morrell 999 majority—now there is a majority of 586 against him—and why? because ho was run in the in terest alone of the men who united with the Democrats last fall to crush as good Republicans as Morrell, Scott & Co., dare claim to be. We regret that the "situation is as it is—the Republi can party so completely demoralized that success in the future is uncertain —but the responsibility must and will rest with the men who struck down the regularly nominated ticket last fall. They were the first to repudiate party nominations, and Mr. Morrell nursed them then and has nursed them ever since. Mr. Morrell must be a very short sighted man if he expected 'to carry, this county after permitting one wing of the party to be persecuted: to the bitter end, by the few would-he leaders who have but little or no in fluence with the mass of the Republi can voters. Our Senators have both been de; boated. Mr. Woods was cut by at, least two hundred Republicans who were false last year, but his vote was kept up by Democrats, who cut Petri kin or Crawford. Both Democratic members are also elected. The party majority on the balance of the ticket is in the.neigh borhood of only 400, a heavy falling off from what the majority would have been for - the whole ticket had a new man been nominated for Congress. terThe Democrats elect their whole county ticket in Cambria, and gave Mr. Morrell 109 majority over Speer. Mr. Morrell'agains wore made in and around Johnstown. . The Elections. PENNSYLVANIA. Below we give the list of Congress men elect in Pennsylvania. It will be seen that, conceding all doubtful die tricts, the Democrats gain five mem bers, the delegation thus standing thir teen Republicans to eleven Democrats: let District—*Samuel J.

In the Legislature the Senate is tie, and the Democrats have eight majority in the House. lOWA The Republicans in lowa made a clean sweep, and elected the State tic ket by about 30,000 majority, and have the six Congressmen. NEBRASKA Nebrabka has elected a Republican Legislature, which will secure a Re publican United States Senator. To PARENTS AND TEACIIERS.—Futh or, do you send your boy to school 7 If so, did you ever think that there is where ho spends more than half the day; and where he learns, probabl.T, all the good or bad that will follow him up to manhood 7 You may not have thought of this, but have let him go on in his course, never troubling yourself whether he does well or does badly; and so your child is permitted to grow up without any restraint or hindrance. If you think he does well, according to your notion of good, you feel proud, but do you ever let your boy share that pride with you, by commending him and giving him kind words of cheer ? If you have not clone so, you should not neglect the practice of this little act of kindness and en couragement in the future. The boy will feel you are interested in his pro gress and will strive to improve as his years increase. On the other hand, when your boy does badly, what do you then do 7 Do you fret, worry, scold and thrash the child into obedi ence,or do:you let him go on"sowing to the wind and reaping the whirlwind?" Which course do you pursue 7 Do you go to the root of the.matter by asking yourself whore has he learned his mis chief? And after looking at home to see whether the seeds of evil have not been sown there, do you visit the school, and in conjunction with the teacher do you sift the boy's charac ter, by learning his ways and his asso ciates? The teacher should never hesitate to tell the parent the faults of his child when solicited, for often the parent is kept in ignorance by the boy's own shrewdness; and there would not be as many unruly pupils if the parents could be led to visit the school-room and inquire concerning their children. Then, parents, don't fail to ask the teacher,and teacher don't ho ashamed to toll the parent about his child, for his weal or woe depends greatly upon the training he receives at your hands.

There were skirmishing engage ments in the vicinity of Paris on Fri day and, Saturday of last week. In each case the French were repulsed and lost largely. Several minor :en gagements have:taken placeduring the week with varying results. The Prus sian forces besieging Paris are getting their heavy siege guns in place, and expect to be ready to open fire and commence a general engagement on the 18th instant, the anniversary of the battle at Leipsic. Some enthusi astic Germans count on being in Paris by October 19th. Telegrams from Berlin announce a great Prussian success before Metz last Sunday, and there is great excite ment at the capital in consequenco.•— It is claimed the French were badly repulsed and driven within the walls of the city again with terrible loss of life. It is reported that the Prussians have burnt twenty small villages in that neighborhood and executed one hundred and fifty peasants for carrying on illicit warfare. :Marshal Bazaine's soldiers are said to be greatly dissatis fied with the situation, and had coup• selled a surrender. The London Times says Bismark's obvious policy is to render the French powerless for offence or defence here after. Prince Frederick Charles, of Prue eia, died of typhoid fever. General Gar.ibaldi is in France, but has not yet taken the field, his health preventing. He draws his sword in behalf of thetFrench Republic. Adviees from the city of Paris rep resent the people as steadthst, quiet and orderly, and without any anxiety on the question of food. They claim to be fully prepared for any assault the Prussians may make. The Death of General Lee. _LExilsoroll, VA., October 18.—This community was plunged into profound sorrow upon the death of General R. E Leo. The various church bells rang out their mournful dirges, and a gene ral suspension of the duties of Wash ington College, the Virginia military institute, and the minor schools fol lowed, and they will not resume again until after the final interment of the great chieftain. Every business house in the community was closed, and crape affixed to the doors. Even the colored barbers shut up their shops, and a general expression of deep grief was visible on every face.' • General Leo had been almost en tirely unconscious since Monday night last, and expired very peacefully and quietly at 9-30 on Wednesday morn ing. lie was first taken sick on Sept. 28, while just about to sit down to tea, when he suddenly sank in his chair in sensible. He soon reacted, and in the course of the next ten days steadily improved, until it was hoped be was out of danger, but on Monday evening last ho became suddenly and rapidly .worse, and continued to sink until Wednesday morning. During the early part of biisiekness he slept much ar.d spoke -but little, but was rational when awake, and always recognized those who approached him. At times his mind seemed for a little while to wander, and on several occasions re verted to the army. He once ordered his tent to be struck, and at another time desired that "Hill should be sent for." He suffered but little pain dur ing his whole sickness, and died with out a struggle Ho will be buried on Saturday, October 15, at 12 o'clock. Tho place selected for his interment is a vault beneath the college chapel, which stands in the midst of the col lege grounds. This was the first buil ding ho had erected after his removal to Lexington, having declared that it was proper that the first thing the col lege did should be to dedicate a house to the service of religion, and here he will appropriately rest, surrounded by the monuments of his later years, his remains sentinelled by the mountains of that Virginia upon which he has conferred such imperishable fume. PERPETUAL Itronotv.—A full patent has been received by a young man of Chicago for a perpetual motion machine. The Chicago papers say that the ma chine behaved itself handsomely,work ed without cessation for months. The most essential portion of the machine consists of a hollow rocking lover, or beam, marbling the walking beam of a steamboat engine, except that it is bent at oblique angles in several places. Inside this are placed balls partially, filled with mercury. The balls once set in motion roll down the interior of the hollow beam in a vain search for a permanent loVel,but no sooner do they reach the lower end than the Mercury in tbo spokes of the main wheel over come their weight, the beam is forced up, and the balls are again impelled in their onward rusb, only to bo caught by the valve that is forced open from without, and pushed into tbo upper arm of the beam or lever, ready to be hustled along their never•euding route. A delicately adjusted weight and brake are attached to the machine and serves to regulate its motion, but it is in the hollow spokes and beams, and the balls of quicksilver that the mysterious pow er is said to lie. Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with nothing in their pockets are rich. A man born with a good heart and good limbs,and pretty good head-piece, is rich. Good bones are bettor than gold, tough mus cles than silver, and nerves that flash fire and energy to ovory function, are better than houses and land. It is better than landed estate to have had the right kind of a father and mother. Good breeds and had breeds exist among men as readily as among herds and horses. Education may do much to check the evil tendencies or to de velop good ones, but it is a good thing to inherit the right proportion of fac ulties to start with. 591 580 tea..

The parents bad 'gone out to gather in potatoes from a lot and left the baby wrapped up, sleeping in its cradle. A little girl was sent in after they bad been absent a short time, to see about the child, and when she opened the door, was horrified to see a large wild cat with the infant behind the stove. The little girl was crying piteously, and in a short time would doubtless have been killed and devoured by the savage beast. On the alarm being given, the wild cat escaped through the window, and not since been seen in that neighborhood.—Clarion Demo. erat. 86Y'The "removal party" in Cambria was defeated by 250—50 the county seat will remain at Ebensburg.
