FACTS ABOUT THE SEWING MACHINE COI:TEM—On Wednesd ty, February 15th, a hasty effort was made to have a trial of Wheel er & Wilson and the t.riginal Howe Sewing Machines together. The operator of each Ma chine selected one person to act as judge and those two were to choose the third person. The operator of the Wheeler & Wilson—Mr. Davis—chose Mrs. Mary M'Cauley, who had long been acquainted with, and was stronglj, attached to the Wheeler & Wilson machine Miss Atkinson, the operator of "Howe" chose Miss Newingbam, who had a few months ex perience with the Howe, but who when called on, could not leave home. The trial could not be postponed; for Miss Atkinson (opera tor of the Howe) had to go to Philadelphia that night. In the hurry of the moment there fore, another lady—Mrs. T S. Johnston who had only a few days experience with the Howe, was called in to act as one of the judges. The place of trial was in Sheriff Neely's parlor, in the jail building. The operators immediately started their machines before the third judge was chosen, or any rules or regu lations agreed upon. The Wheeler It Wison party needing a pliable ally for third judge, insisted on having a gentleman (?) named T. N. Colder, then present in the room. Com mon courtesy in the presence of such a dis tinguished guest of the house forbade Mrs. Johnston to refuse him a seat on the Judicial Bench. He was therefore "illicitly" seated, even without the iron-clad oath. The trial proceeded. Many kinds of seams in light and medium goods were well made on both machines. In hemming they both did well until the Wheeler & Wilson tried a henry crash, making a very imperfect hem on it. The Howe proposed to put on its hemmer adapted to such work, and hem the other edge of the same piece. But the Wheeler & Wilson rais ing unreasonable objections to putting on the appropriate hemmer, tfie Howe put the crash through the fine hemmer making a perfect hem on it. In cording both machines did well in making round corners ; but on the square corners the Wheeler & Wilson operator acknowledged then and there, that "the Howe had cornered him!" in making a neat square corner, in attempting which, the Wheeler & Wilson utterly failed. In moderately heavy work the Wheeler & Wilson also failed. The Howe ran a seam through some light pieces of leather and re quested the Wheeler & Wilson to do the same. The operator demurred, but finally started in, and ran about an inch on the leather without l i sewing, and then GAVE IT re The Howe would have gone en through heavy and extra heavy work, such as eight thicknessess of Cassimere, crossing heavy seams without "soar.," thick leather and lids of cigar boxes. But when the Wheeler & Wil son backed out on light leather it was thought unnecessary to go any further. Mrs. Johnston was obliged to go house an hour before the trial ended. On requesting Mrs. M'Cauley and T. N. Colder to meet the other judge (Mrs. Johnston) at her house, it was then divulged that Uncle Sam had applied an "illicit" sticking plaster to Colder which was so adhesive that he could not leave the jail. Mrs. Johnson, supposing the trial still going on, called at the jail in the afternoon, but Mrs. M'Cauley not then being there, the judges have never met 'to make up their decision. The above are a fete, of many facts, which might be given, showing how truth was per versed iu the recent advertisement of the Wheeler & Wilson concern. They may, 'like a drowning man, grasp at straws." But never theless the living truth stands boldly out, that for adaptation to the greatest range of work, from extremely light, through all medium, and up to extremely heavy grades, and for regular ity of tensions, economy of thread, strength and durability, &c., &c., the great Original Howe Lock Stitch Sewing Machine has no equal in the WIDE Won.. Scores of respectable citizens using these machines in this community, are ready to tes tify to the superior intrinsic merit of the Howe Machine and Cult it does not depend for its success on the decision of a United States Convict. A BRACE OF WEDUINCS—TRE UPS AND DOWNS OF A WEDDING PASTY.—The region of New Enterprise, in Bedford county, and "ye ancient borough" of Huntingdon were the scenes of a couple of weddings, on Tuesday, the 28th ult., that had furnished gossip for the gossippy people for several weeks previously. On Tuesday morning, at 8 o'clock, Mr. M. P. Beckerman, of Bedford and Miss Beckie Had erman, of New Enterprise, were joined in wed lock by the Rev. E. D. Shoemaker, at the res ideuce of our old and much respected friend, Adam Haderman, Esq., the bride's father. The wedding party was very select. Among the number was our mutual friends Alexander King and H. D. Tate, Esqrs., of Bedford, who had the misfortune, in driving from Woodberry to New Enterprise, to have a regplar break down, and they only reached the waiting party by the most vigorous pedestrianism. Imme diately after the ceremony and refreshments the party started for Hopewell, a distance of eight miles, to meet the afternoon train. on the . Broad Top Railroad. After leaving Pattons ville the road became very heavy, and the hackman had great difficulty in "steering his craft." Mud! mud 1 every foot of the way! The party seemed, however, as Mark Tapley would say, "jolly I" When a sudden lurch, a few little screams, and the inmates were tum bled together promiscuously--"up set I" The bridle party "up set I" ran all along the line down to Hopewell ! Well ! here was r. go ! The bridegroom crawled through the rear window of the hack and proclaimed that the bride and others were safe inside—only a little the worse for mud 1 Pooh ! how dirty ! The truth is, reader, if you are disposed to laugh, mud ain't pleasant under such circumstances! To soil nice dresses, gotten up expressly for the occasion, the first time we wear them, makes mothers and wives, (we know our wire does, like sixty,) let alone brides and brides maids, scold ! The interesting party was "set up," but there was the dilapidated hack and the queer expression of Sam; he thought it was a Diehl of ajob—a hub smashed, the spokes out and no time was to be lost, and there were at least eight furlongs to Hopewell, and it was almost car time. Tate, who had tried "Walk er's Line" in the morning, no doubt again said "walk I" and bride, groom and all parties "walked in," through, at least, four inches of mud to Hopewell —just in time for the cars And, then, such rejoicing. Even "Dolph" smiled a half doubtful smile ! And they bid farewell to bad roads and thought Broad Top .the greatest institution between Hopewell and Huntingdon, where they arrived a little the worse for wear, at four o'clock, P. a. At eight o'clock, the same evening, the same party, reinforced by quite a number of the first citizens of Huntingdon, and others, as sembled at the residence of Henry W. Miller, Esq., and witnessed the marriage ceremony between Mr. M. I. Haderman, of New Enter prise, and Miss Rose, third daughter of Henry \V. Miller, Esq. The ceremony was celebrated by Rev.. Tames C. Clarke, and was brief and impressive. After the ceremony the company was invited to a table groaning beneath the weight of the most delicious refreshments, where every person appeared to do justice to the occasion. The party was one of the most sociable and temperate that we have had the pleasure of meeting for some time, and passed off splendidly. Mrs. Haderman received, from her numerous friends and relatives, a large number of valuable gifts and souvenirs, con sisting of silver batter dishes, butter knives, forks, spoons, fruit dishes, etc., etc., making a very fine array of-presents, which bespeak volumes of golden opinions entertained by the donors. Both parties took the Cincinnati express east at 11.12 the same evening. The good wishes of all attend them. DEATII OF GEN. A. P. WILSON.— General Andrew Porter Wilson died at his re sidence, in this town, on Tuesday last, the 28th ult., after a lingering illness, aged 65 years.— He was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, graduated at Jefferson College in 1823, and en tered the law office of George B. Porter of Lan caster, afterwards Governor of Michigan, from whence he went to the law school at Litchfield, Connecticut, where he graduated in the same class with Hon. A. V. Parsons of Philadelphia, he commencing the practice of law at Williams port, Pa., and General Wilson, under the aus pices and patronage of his cousin, Lion. David R. Porter, opened an office and commenced practice in Huntingdon in 1827. Through the influence of Gov. Porter he was appointed Dis trict Attorney of this county, in the discharge of the duties of which office he displayed such abilities and legal learning that he soon took a front rank in his profession, and at once en tered upon . a large and lucrative practice, and was, until his retirement from the law in 1866,1 one of the leading lawyers in this part of the State. Amongst those who studied law in his office are Hon. George Taylor, President Judge, Hon. John Cresswell. Hon. Thad. Banks, T. P. Campbell, now of Davenport, lowa, Hon. R • Milton Speer, our present member of Congress, and Hon. R. Bruce Petrikin, now of the State Senate, his relative and for many years his law partner. To a fine personal appearance and agreeable manner, General Wilson added fine abilities., and a very kind and generous heart He was exceedingly warm in his friendships, popular with the people, and in the trial of causes before juries, he became and remained until his retirement from practicaa formidable antagonist. By his untiring industry and ex tensive practice he became rich, and it was always to him a sincere pleasure to have his friends enjoy his hospitality. To his enterprise and activity the people of this section are in a large degree indebted for the development of the Broad Top coal fields, and the construction of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, of which Company, he was from its first or ganization, and at the time of his death, a Di rector. He never was married, but leaves among other relatives to mourn his loss, a niece and two nephews, who inherit his estate, children of his deceased brother, Adolphus D. Wilson, Esq., formerly an eminent lawyer at Williamsport, Pa. In politics General Wilson was an ardent Democrat, and for many years a leading member of his party. He had, how ever, a distaste for public office, and against his judgment was in 1846 brought out as the Democratic candidate for Congress, but the District being largely against him, he was de feated by a small majority, although his own county gave a majority in his favor. The peo ple of Sinking Valley, Blair county, will ever gratefully remember him for his instrumental. ity in developing the zinc mines of that valley and the erection of zinc works at Birmingham iu this county. In the earlier history of the State he took a very active part in military affairs, and was earnest in his efforts and lib eral in his Expenditures of money to arouse and organize the military spirit of the Com monwealth. He was liberal and generous to a fault—in his death the poor have losta good friend—and he will be generally missed and sincerely mourned in tliis section of the State. PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE BOROUGH COlTN cm.—Stated Meeting, March 3, 1871. Present Chief Burgess, Mr. Elliott, Asst, Burgesses, Messrs. Africa and Murray. Council, Messrs. Strickler, Carman, Leister and Shaffer. The minutes of the last stated meeting were read and approved. A petition of 13 citizens praying the erec tion of a public lamp at the south-east corner of Church and St. Clair streets was read, and on motion, the committee on streets was in structed to cause a lamp to be erected at the point named. The Chief Burgess laid before the Council a communication from the Man ufacturer of a patent street lamp, in which gasoline is used, when, on motion, the Chief Burgess was authorized to procure one-fourth of a dozen of said lamps. Complaint hay ng been made of obstruction in Washington street, and the pavement on the south side of said street, between Bath and Franklin streets, the Chief Burgess was instructed to issue his warrant, directed to the High Constable to cause said obstructions to be removed. Mr. Africa, from the special Committee to which was referred the petition praying the pas sage of an ordinance requiring the owners of buildings to number the same and changing the names of cei tail' streets, reported "An act changing the names of certain streets and providing for the numbering of houses in the borough," which ordinance was read and, considered, and the rules being suspended, was passed finally and ordered to be printed. A petition of the citizens residing in the eastern end of the borough, complaining that the public roads at and near the eastern cad of the bridge over Standing Stone Creek has bees so blockaded with lumber and railroad ties as to hinder the passage of wagons and footmen, was read, and, on motion, the Street Commissioner was directed to notify the owners of such ties and lumber that the same must be removed from the public street. Bills were read and orders granted as fol- lows, to wit: Hunt. Gas Co., fur Feb. 1871, $26.00 Check Roll Street Com. for Feb., 15.75 Total Adjourned. ADVERTiSING.—Professor Eastman, of the Poughkeepsie Commercial College, in a recent lecture, made some very sensible re marks upon advertising. His siews are worthy of attention, as he has made advertising a life study ; and by practicing (even recklessly) what he preaches, has' achieved a large suc cess in his department. He says that the merchants of Europe are far iu advance of American merchants in skilful advertising, as well as in the extent to which they advertise. It is not unfrequently the case that single firms on the other side of the Atlantic expend $lOO,OOO per annum in advertising their busi ness. He deprecates the method of advertis ing in a single advertisement an entire stock, and claims that each article should be ad vertised thoroughly by itself. He cites as a good example of the benefits of thorough ad vertising, the paying of $22,000 by A. T . Stewart upon one occasion to advertise a cer tain line of goods by which means he realized a clear profit of $lOO,OOO. Advertising, to be most successful, must be thorough enough to produce an excitement in the minds of the public. Many a man lacks pluck to go on and fails to reap the full fruits of his outlay by stopping only a little too soon. He argues that the general principles of advertising are the same in all kinds of business, and that everything else being equal, the man who suc ceeds by this means in one business would also succeed in any other. Mr. Bonner once asked Mr. Bennett, of the Herald, if he could have the use of three pages of his paper, and upon being told that, by paying double price, he could have all he wanted, promptly replied that he would take the whole advertising space of the paper. He did take it, and filled it with the repetition of an advertisement which alone would not have occupied ten lines. It paid as all thorough advertising is certain to do. A man who does not know how to make advertising pay is no more a thorough business man than one who cannot judge for himself of the value of the goods. Tut Riddlesburg Furnace people put their second stack in blast on Saturday last. The Furnace has been yielding splendidly for some time—averaging about thirty tons a day. RAILROAD PROJECTS.—The citizens of the northern portion of Fulton county are taking steps for the immediate construction of railroads which will bring their rich mineral lands at once into the market. Our columns yesterday contained an account of a large meeting recently held at Burnt Cabins, Fulton county, for the purpose of constructing a road from that point to Mount Union, Huntingdon county, on the Pennsylvania Central, a dis t mce of about twent-five miles. Joseph Mif flin, esq., is now engaged in surveying the route. A rout is also to be surveyed from Burnt Cabins via Sideling Hill Gap to a point on the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad, to reach the Bituminous coal of the Broad Top region. These roads when completed will be brought into connection with the Cumberland Valley at Chambersburg, by means of a road through Cowan's Gap, the route of which has already been surveyed. The engineer (Jos. Muffin, esq.,) writing on this subject, describes the whole region as one vast deposit of iron ore. The ores are of nearly every variety, embracing hematite, fossil, pipe, etc. He has seen the Chestnut Hill mines near Columbia, as well as the Cornwall mines, but here are ores extending over an erea of country equal in extent to scores of Chestnut Hills and Cornwalls, and of unfath omed depth, awaiting that development which railroads alone can give. The region offers a spledid field for enterprise. The ores are needed at Pittsburg and in the east. Mr• Mifflin is of opinion that the region to be opened by the contemplated roads, will be come at no distant day a great iron manufac turing center. Its proximity to the Broad Top coal fields and the Pennsylvania Central railroad will give it a great advantage. The great value of the minerals of this portion of the state need only to become known to at• tract the attention of capitalists.—Harrisburg Patriot Feb. 25th. MEETING OF THE MEMBERS OF TIIE Btn.—On Wednesday, the lot inst., the'members of the iluntiogdon Bar, met for the purpose of pay ing their last tribute of respect to the memory of General A. P. lillson,:whe died at his residence in this place, on the previous Tuesday. J. O. Miles, Esq., was called to the chair, and Milton S. Lytle, circled Secretary. The Chairman addressed tie meeting at some length, upon the life and character of the deceased, and the lessons to he drawn from the occasion. On motion of D. Caldwel. Esq., Mess.-s. W. P, Orbison, J. M. Dailey and J. it. purborrow, were appointed a committee to draft and report resolu tions. They reported the following: After many years of useful and active life, re plete with hospitality and kindness, General A. P. Wilson, a brother member of the Dar, has been re moved from amor, us, by the orderings of an All Wise, but inscrutable Providence, we have therefore met, not only in accordance with our usage upon such sad events, but with the remembrance by many of us of the repeated acts of courtesy and hospitality, received from the deceased heather, during an association with him of many years at the Bar, and desiring to give some expression to our feelings of respect and esteem for him, and of sorrow for his loss, therefore Reftolred, That while we condole with those who constituted the family of the deceased, and tender to them, onr deepest sympathies in this sad be reavement, we would remind them of that great consolation which they may find in his long, useful and industrious life. Re.lced, That we will attend in a body the fun• eral of our deceased. brother. ResoFred, That a copy of these resolutions and of the proceedings of this meeting, be presented to the niece and nephews of the ifeceasiii, and that they be published in the county pope.. Remarks were then made by D. Blair, W. P. Or. bison and S. F. Brown, Esqs., on the appropriate. ness of the resolutions, after which they were unan. imously adopted. J. G. MILES, Mums S. LTmE, Sect'y. Chairman. ORBISONIA ITEMS.—A well-wisher of the Jouimw writes us the following items from Orbisonia, under date of March 1, 1871 : "The Keystone Guards, Capt. Baker, turned out the largest number of men on the 12d ult., that have gotten together at any one time. The company now numbers seventy-nine men. The uniform worn by them is dark blue, dress coat, trimmed with red ; light blue pants with red stripe and Burnside hat, worn up at one side, with feather. This makes a very nice snit. They are armed with Simmon's Riffled muskets. _ _ "Checker are the - prevailing game, What Base Ball or Billiards are to New York and Philadelphia, checkers are to Orbisonia. I say fearlessly that some of the best checker players in the county are in the lower end. Shall I say best in the State? A series of games for the championship of Orbisonia and Cromwell township were played, a few days ago, between T. 0. Cloyd and B. F. Ripple, best out of five, draws not counted. Seven games were played and T. 0. Cloyd succeed ed in getting three games and was declared the champion. Others in this vicinity play equally as well. "We have a Literary Society in town which is in quite a flourishing condition. It meets every Tuesday evening. The last subject dis cussed was ; Resolved, That the sexes should be equally educated. The judges decided, on the merits of the debate, negatively, but t}n appeal to to the house, on the merits of the question, it decided affirmatively. "Rev. Mr. Long, of the M. E. Church, has delivered his farewell sermon here and pre pared to leave for Conference. Mr. Long leaves quite a number of friends and takes with him our best wishes for his health and prosperity. Yours truly, ARCHIBALD Z. GREGORY. ENCOURAGING.—The following letter sent us by Isaac Smith, un.der date of Solomon City, Kansas, February 27th, 1871, speaks for itself "Enclosed please find $2 for which you will please continue to send your very excellent paper. I have taken, read and paid for it, I believe, for thirty years while residing in my native county of Huntingdon. It has always been a welcome visitor in my family. It is rendered still more so now that we reside some seventeen hundred miles from the home of my childhood and the kind associations of my after life. Indeed I could not afford to de prive myself and family of the pleasurable sat isfaction its weekly visits afford us. $41.7 “We are very much pleased with the en larged and beautified appearance of your pa per, and I doubt not its usefulness, for good to the county and party, will be realized in proportion to its enlarged and improved ap pearance. lam glad to see already that the Republicans of Huntingdon county have come to the sensible conclusion that there is noth ing to be gained, but much to be lost, by die sentions, both to the county and party, and for the future they will not be 'led off by side issues.' ” PUBLIC SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. —Wednesday, March 15th, 1871, at the resi dence of the subscriber, on corner of the Dia mond, opposite the Post Office.

A Co3lE DOWN.—On Thsrsday after noon last,while some persons were seated on the railing of the sidewalk, near the late resi dence of Gen. Wilson, awaiting the starting of the funeral procession, the railing suddenly gave way, precipitating some four or five per sons backwards, over a stone wall, some seven or eight feet. G. A. 31iller, one of the party, received one or two rather severe cuts about the head, and was the only person receiving injuries of any consequence, the balance of the party having clime off each with a few slight scratches, and their clothing rather the worse for mud. All however seemed disposed to congratulate themselves on having escaped so easily, as the accident might have been mach more serious. AN IMPOSTOR CIRCULATING.—A man calling himself Rev. Chas. E. Raymond, who was recently baptised in the Baptist Church, at York, proves to be an impostor. He left York rather suddenly when he saw an article from the Boston Congregationalist concerning him which gives him the following 'irecotu mencl7: "He is a Jew by birth, a play actor by profession, an impostor in truth, is small, nervous, with black hair and whiskers, small light blue eyes; wears spectacles, shows forg ed credentials and a letter of dismission from an association in London."
