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:

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.

“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

ley, we have been acquainted almost from
childhood and we know him to be an excellent
man, and a sound Republican. If he has ever
been regarded in any other light be must have
been mis-represented because he is too can
did a man to say one thing and do another.

SAXTON ITEMS.—On Saturday, the 18th
ult., two ernVoyees of the H. & B. T. It.
named John Wlliams and Oscar Corbett, whilst
engaged in coupling cars at Saxton, were
caught between the bumpers and pretty badly
squeezed, but fortunately escaped with but
slight injuries.
0 t the llti, a horse, attached to a sleigh
belonging tc Samuel Staler, took fright and
ran away. Mr. Stoler and a young lady, the
occupants of the vehicle, were thrown out and
sustaine I :Sight injuries.
Engine ;So. 129 was thrown from the track
near Dud:ey, on Wednesday last, and consid
erably damaged. The accident was caused
by a misplaced switch. No one was hurt.—
Bedford County Press.
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." He may chance
to pass this way and our readers had better
sate the above picture of him.
THE MONITOR SHOULD HAVE A POW
ER Parms.—The editor of the Monitor
publishes, from week to week, the
names of his subscribers who pay up and
advance him monies towards buying a
Power Press. This is right. The Democrats
should help him out of the woods at once. We
hope that he will be able to accomplish the
object ha has in view, and that the Democrat
ic party, for the sake of the town, will put him
in a conditon to print a paper that will he sec
ond to no Democratic paper in the State. If
Democrats will have a paper, let them act
sensible, and support out that they can be
proud of. Democrats, roll in your greenbacks.
Oss of the best points made by Senator
Schurz in his great speech on the San Domin
go question was that the people were not fit
to be sharers in our civilization. gilt cannot
13 - e shown," said he, by the most devoted sup
porter of this project, that they ever purchas
ed any carpets from the large stock of Fisher
and Sons, or that they know what carpeting
is. "Shall we then degrade ourselves by
sharing our liberties with such a people. it.
A RARE Cunsce.—Glazier and Dro , have
just received a new lot of Dry Goods, Dress
Goods, &c., to which the attention of consum

SEVERELY HURT.—A little son, aged
about four years, of Luden Long, living in
Charleston, in the out-skirts of Huntingdon,
on Wednesday of last week, fell- off a fence
and severely cnt his forehead, laying the
skull bare for an inch or more. The Doctor
was called in, dressed the wound an 4 at the
latest accounts he was doing very well,

Tux EARTHQUAKE.-It has been thought
that the recent earthquake did not visit Phil
adelphia, but either it or somebody very like
it must have hit Oak Hall, if we may judge
from the up heaving of mountains of fine
clothing there, and the swallowing up of low
prices, which has been noticed at Wanamaker
& Brown's.
H. Harper, (dealer in Watches,
J.welry, &c.,) has removed from 520 Arch
