LOVE, 3LATRIIIONY AND SAD DISAP
POINTMENT.—GirIs do some queer thingsl The
fact is we have never -understood the (Veer
little posses They go through so many 'sim
pering little flirtations, win a feilow's heart,
and then as if by a wave of a fan, topple all
our air castles to the ground with a crash that
shakes the very soul in us. This was our ex
perience once. It was very cruel. It tested
our living qualities. But faith and a gocid ,
constitution overcame all, and "we still live."
We heard, a few days ago, a sad tale of thi s
kind which stirred up those old recollections
and made us wonder why man's affections
are thus made the toy of women.
In the quiet solitudes of Bedford county,
where lofty hills rear their heads in majesty,
crowned with the most beautiful shrubbery,
and little rivulets go leaping from rock to
rock, forming lovely cascades, and birds sing
and chirp from bough to bough, and many
other equally interesting and purely romantic.
objects salute the lover of romance, a young
swain, whom we shall call Dick, loved, most
ardently, one of the daughters of the valley, of
which she was the Lilly.
Dick was young and full of life, and he with
palpitating bosom, doted on fair Lilly and
vowed that "naught in this sad world" should
ever them sunder, until death the old go-to
sunderer should them part. Fair Lilly smiled
on him and smiled again and—eat his candies
and chestnuts and vowed that she was "his'n."
Many big apples and little pea-nuts did he
bring unto her. Many were the promises and
kisses which they indulged in. Many solitary
walks and quiet tete-a tetes dicl the enjoy on the
banks of the "Blue Juniata," feasting their eyes
upon the sluggish mud-turtles that lay
,basithi
in the sun—and upon themselves. Oh butsuch
things are sweet when we are young,' and we
have heard old ones being eqnally as foolish.
But dopbly sweet and sentimental . were these
things to 1,311 y and Dick. They appeared to
be swimming in a ses of soda water, or attar
of roses, or--mush and milk! It was happi
ness any way let the coMparison be what it
may. The day, the happy day was fired! The
minister, he with the white cravat and black
cloth fitting close up about his person, had
been named. Time was rolling heavily. How
weary time is under such circumstances. But
Dick and Lilly had determined to till time.
They visited friends and spent days amid the
scenes of their childhood. One gloomy even
ing they returned to their homes, Dick to
look after his stock and Lilly to see her ma.
Both dwelling upon the theme, no doubt, upper
most in their minds. It wcs a dark and dis
mal evening and Dick felt lonely separated
from his charmer. ,
Lilly had scarcely concluded the task of
telling her ma how nicely they were getting
on and in return receiving those delicate little
instructions which mothers are in duty bound
to give their marriagable daughters, such as
not to kiss their husbands after supper nor be
fore breakfast and never to keep a pretty
chambermaid, etc., when a rap, rap, rap, was
heard at the door. The mother had only time
to caution her daughter, when John, the son
of a well-to-do neighbor was ushered in.
Now, to tell the truth, John and Dick were
"spoons on" l.illy. Here was a go I Lilly
had been playing with both the boys. John
had just heard "some dings" and be "shmelt
mice spout as loud as any pody." And he
was determined that things should come to a
cry-sis which they did. But Lilly didn't cry
long. She said she had made up her mind to get
married and that she would just as soon have
John as Dick—and they were married before
Dick had his stock cleverly fed. Was there
any wonder that it was a dismal evening and
that Dick had the dumps ?
Well, to cut a long story short, Dick heard
the dreadful intelligence without going into
histerics, as women do, but went oif and pur
chased a pistol, wrote a challenge, sent it,
sod scared John so badly that the marriage
feasts were postponed far several weeks.
Finding that he could get no satisfaction out
of John he became raving mad and threaten
ed self destruction for several days, when he
sobered up and came to the sensible conclu
sion that the prize was not worth fighting or
killing one's self for, and—subsided. Oh
ladies ; fair ladies, why do you thus trifle
with young men ? If you don't want to marry
them don't eat their big applei airl their little
pea-nuts and make them all manner of prem
ises and then fool them—its wicked.
A HEAVY SELL.—At one of our hotels,
a few evenings since, a gentleman, from Balti
more, proposed, to several young gentlemen
spending the evening at the house, to drink a
bottle or two of wine. The wine was procured,
and with other refreshments, was taken pretty
freely. Among the number present were John
ny, Dave and Will, who enjoyed the entertain.'
ment hugely. Johnny fused to drink and
laughed immoderately at what lie supposed to
be demonstrations of excessiveness on the part
of Dave. This rather amused Dave and Willi
who conspired to sell Johnny. They retired
for a moment, and concluded that Will should
inform Johnny that Dave was outside very
much intoxicated, and that he must be stowed
away somewhere. Will proceeded with Johnny
to the front of the building, where Dave was
lying across the-entrance, where Johnny sup
posed lie had fallen. He was satisfied in a
moment that the situation was a critical one,
and he inquired hastily what should be done.
"Done !" exclaimed Will, "why we must carry
him up stairs!" And Johnny laid bold with a
will. Dave weighs about one hundred and fifty
pounds, the big end of which it is no light
matter to carry up two flights of stairs ; but
Johnny pulled, puffed and sweated, while Will
scarcely carried his boots. Dave was as limber
as a rag, and didn't help himself a particle:—
Will suggested, when Johnny hesitated a mo
ment on the landing, that the ladies were
coming, and in be went with a vim that would
have thrown the most muscular man into the
shade. Dave was conveyed to a place of aafety
in the attic, and Johnny only learned, some
time afterwards, when he discovered Dave
slipping out of the house, that lie had been
Rolm. He takes no stock' in drunken men
A Pool:. SQUIRT.—We d,sil t moon some
poor devil about the town who ain't anybody,
and because he ain't, is abused by all his
neighbors. No ; we allude to a Fire En
gine, so called, that we saw on exhibition, in
the diamond of the town, the other day. It
was a most treacherous, leaky, creaky, affair.
The boys had hauled it. out to sprinkle the
streets, and in one sense,it.was a perfect sac :
cess. It laid the dust•most cfNetually where
ever it was stopped up for a moment. We
have seen the same thing done much better
by a perforated hogshead. The streams that
poured out were not quite esstrong. We were
told that the boys lahoted two hours to get
water enough ahead to run it across the
street. Some fellow, with more energy than
discretion ascended the machine and the last
we saw was about ten g,alions of water going
up his pants-legs and coming-outin the region
of his paper collar. We remember seeing a
boy on one occasion go head and front into a
mud hole. He rose undignifiedly, extending
both arms, with his fingers slightly curved
and exclaimed, "fooh !" The engine Inge pre
sented a similar figure. The sprinkling, we
presume, was not after the most orthodox
plan, But is this the kind of a machine that
Huntingdon has to depend upon in case of a
fire? Think of it! One good human squirt,
with a dinner bucket, would be worth two of
this machine! Boys, dump it into the river
for three months, and if it don't hold water
then, perhaps, some other arra.ngetafftts,
be made. If not, the people will call for Vet
ter squirts in a double sense!

Young Men Drowned.—On Saturday afternoon
fast; our citizens were shocked and startled by
the intelligence that Fairinan C. Flenner, son
of John Flenner, Esq., ' of i- this - place,. aged
about eighteen years, was drowned in the
dam at.the .mouth of th,c4.o.otown Branch,
about 21 miles below town.
The deceased was on apprentice in the
JlfonFtbr printing offite,aild, in :cfoinPany with
three other boys, started on a fishing excur
sion to the dam, about the middle of the
forennon. the_
JaPpetirs:igat Aile there the
boys had stripped for a bath, the water being
very deep at that place and young Flenner
being no swimmer, he had not gone into the
deep water but was standing on the breast of
the dam when his feet slipped ..ftetl,he fell
over, and almoSt immediately liiappea'red be
neath the surface, the force of the reacting
current carrying Lim under L ithe sheeting of
the dam. Search was immediately made for
the body, but it was not till Sunday morning
,that it was recovered and . aliveked to his
heart-broken friends.
He was a young man of steady habits and
of more than ordinary promise, bidding fair
for long life and usAltiesi, Ant) his sad fate
not only furnishes to his companions a timely
warning in regard to the recklessness often
manifested by boys in needlessly endanger
ing their lives, on such occasions, but to all a
solemn admonition of the uncertainty of life.
Young Flenner left us in the bloom of life,
and in the vigor of health, but` alas, how sud
den and unexpected the change! In one brief
hour the hopes of a lifetime were crushed ; the
sub of his young life had gone down beneath
the dark eclipse of death, and a once happy
household was darkened by the shaduwy,wing
of the destroying angel.
May He who "doeth all things well," but
whose ways are "mysterious and past finding
out," be the comfort and: stay, of the heart
stricken and bereaved pareutislitt this hour of
their heavy sorrow. - !
EXTENSION Og THE BEDFORD & BRIDGE
PORT RAIL ROAD.-THE SURVEY ALREADY COY
MENCED.-FOr some time the extension of the
Bedford & Bridgeport Rail Road into Mary
land has been Talked of, and we are now hap ;
py to announce that it will be done, and that
the engineers are actually at work surveying
the route. The Pennsylvania Central is going
to build this extension for the purpose of tap
ping the coal fields of George's Creek, in
Maryland. The route from Bridgeport will be
alongside of the Pittsburgh Is Connellsville
road to Kreichbaum's where it will connect
with the Maryland and
.Pennsylvania road.
This new link in the chain of railways now
being built in Southern Pennsylvania, will
be au important one, as' it *lll-afford short
and direct transit for the valuable coal of
Western Maryland to all the markets north of
Baltimore. That it will greatly increase the
tonnage of the Bedford & Leidgeport and the
Brod Top roads cannot be doubted. Besides,
Bedford being in the center of three important
coal fields, it will give our people, and all
manufacturing establishments that may here
after spring up'in this neighborhood, a choice
between Broad Top, Somerset and George's
Creek coal.
We understand that the grading and bridg
ing of the road will be let during the early
part of the summer, and its completion pushed
as rapidly as possibly. Findley Barber, Esq.,
who has had the charge of the Bridgeport end
of the B.'& B. RI R., has been selected to sur
vey the route. Mr. Barber understands his
business thoroughly and will hurry up mat
ters in Isis department. We hail the extension
of the Bedford A Bridgeport Rail Road and
devoutly hope for its early completion.—Bed

A PREACIIEK TAKES TO THE WATER.—
A minister, who lives in the southern portion
of the county, left Huntingdon, where he had
been attending the Union Sabbath School
Convention, for home. ,As he drove out of
town and 'approached Stone Creek bridge, he
concluded to drive into the creek and water
his horse. He drove in and turned and then
permitted his animal to drink. Some of the
harness interfered with the horse's comfort
and he concluded to venture out on the shafts
and arrange the matter. He is not. stripling
by any means, In fact he weighs about 200
or 220 pounds. The harness was not intended
to meet such contingencies and gave way,
which caused the horse to spring forward.
He determined before the horse could get out
of his reach tie spring upon its back, and he
did make a lofty leap, but when he reached
the spot where the horse's back should have
been it had departed and "ker-chug I" went
the minister into the creek up to his neck,
soiling his neckerchief. He has no serious ob
jection to immersion and consequently he took
to the water pretty well. By the time he got
the water rubbed out of his eyes and blown
out of his nose, his lady companion had pulled
up his faithful animal a few rods from the
bank. His new silk hat suffered some in the
adventure. When discovered it was about
two thirds full of water floating down stream.
The moral of all this, is : when you weigh
so much don't test the strength of harness in
a deep stream of water lest you get a ducking
by th e experiment.

VALUABLE DoNATIONS.—Mr. F. F•
Milne, of Philadelphia, has recently presented
to the Engineering Department of Lafayette
College, Easton, Pa., a complete working mod

a cost of over $l,OOO. The Library of this
department has lately been enriched by a num
ber of works upon Engineering, presented by
Mr. Edward Miller, C. E., and a collection of
the reports and all other official documents
relating to the Suez Canal, presented to the
college by the distinguished French Engineer,
M. Ferdinand de Lesseps. It is contained in
twenty-three volumes, with maps, plans, Src.
and is the only complete collection of the kind'
in this country.—Easton Erprevs.
HEAVY ROBBERY .—On Wednesday
evening last Mr. S. L. Ettinger, a horse dealer
residing in Newtown, Bucks county, and well
known to the people of our county, left Phil
adelphia on the Philadelphia Express, for this
place, having in his possession nearly $2,500,
with which he intended to buy a car load of
horses here. On his arrival at Lancaster he
found that he had been robbed of his pocket
book containing this mosey, and other valua
ble papers. He offers $l,OOO reward for. the
recovery of the money and papers.—Juniata
Republican.
,ADMITTED. ---Robert A. Orbison, of this
place, was, on Thursday last, during the argu
ment court, admitted to practice in the several
courts of this county.
Mr. Orbison is a young man, of fine attain
ments, and will no doubt be an ornament to
his profession. He graduated with ability at
the Albany Law School, N. Y., after reading
some two years in the office of his father, Wm.
P. Orbison, Esq., of this place, and passed a
very creditable examination. See card else
where.
THE lecture of Hon. James H. Hopkins,
of Pittsburgh, on last Tuesday night, in the
Court House, was a very creditable and highly
interesting oratorical effort. Ile presented
his subject in a most attractive form. The
audience was not as large as it should have
been. We sometimes think that the people of
Huntingdon do not, as a general thing, appre
ciate this kind of literary efforts as highly as
they might.
AN EXTRAORDINARY DOG.—A gentle
man named Isenburg, residing in ,Franklin
township, has a dog that has learned to fish.
Ile goes along a race, from day to day, and
catches splendid fish. A few days ago the
race was drawn off, and this animal caught
seventeen large fish which he delivered to Mr.
Isenburg's children on the bank.

Gr'eat Fortunes.—We have long thought that
a volume of short but authentic and well-writ
ten sketches of the most eminent self-made
men of America—telling not only of their suc
cess, but also in what way and by what efforts
this success was attained—could not fail to
possess an absorbing and universal interest,
and must prove an exceedingly popular and
successful book. Such a volume now lies on
our table from the press of Geo. Maclean,
(Publisher of First-Clais Subscription Books,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston), under
the title 9f "Great Fortunes, and How They
Were Made ; or, The Struggles and Triumphs
of Our Self-Made Men. By James D. McCabe,
Jr." D. is a really elegant octavo of 633 pages,
illustrated with thirty-two remarkably well
executed wood engravings from original de
signs by the talented young artists G. F. k E.
R. Bensell.
"Great Fortunes" is a book that appeals to
all classes, describing the careers not only of
our merchant princes and heavy capitalists,
but also of leading inventors, publishers, edi
tors, lawyers, artists, preachers, auLhors, ac
tors, physicians, etc. It abounds in history,
anecdote, sketches of life in various parts of
the country, reminiscence of distinguished and
eccentric men, accounts of curious and cele
brated inventions, and naratives of intense and
determined struggles crowned by the most
brilliant triunsphs, tt ocunmends itself, like
wise, as a work possessing a great practical
value, as a means of instruction and self-hclp
to all its readers. Row great Fortunes were
made, and how fame was won, largely make up
our author's interesting narratives.
It shows how poor boys, without friends or
influence, have risen to the front mt.:. of
American capitalists ; how a fortune of forty
millions was won by a poor schoolmaster; how
thirty millions sprang from one thousand dol
lars saved by a determined young boatman ;
how a newspaper whirls was first published in
a cellar has become the wealthiest journal in
the land; how a cabinet maker's apprentice
made the world his debtor, and built up an
immense manufacturing business, which is
now conducted in the largest building in the
United States; how the Inman of 'a poor
schoolmaster, unexpectedly thrown out of
employment, created one of onr most import
ant national industries, and made many States
rich and powerful ; how a printer's apprentice
made his way in the world, and became the
head of tile largest puhlishing house in Amer-
It shows how a poor cattle drover became
one 9f the "kings" of Wall Street, an unknown
mechanic a millionaire in seven years, a butch
er's son the wealthiest man In America, a New
England farmer's boy the first merchant in the
land, a penniless lawyer Chief Justice of the
United States, a farmer's orphan the most fa
mous of living sculptors, with many more such
examples ; in short, how energy talent, and :
patient industry have always met with success
when properly exerted, and haw intelligince
and strict attention to business—not "sharp"
practices and over reaching—have been proven
to be the only sure and safe road to prosperity.
We are not surprised to learn that "Great
Fortunes" is having a very large and rapdi
sale. It is sold by subscription only, and for
the benefit of any of our readers who may wish
to take a local or traveling agency for this
most entertaining work, we give the address
of the publisher in full : George Maclean, 719
TO RAILROAD TRAVELERS.-The )1"
towing "rules of the road" are based upon
legal decisions, and ought to be universally
known. The courts have decided that appli
cants for tickets on railroads can be ejected if
they do not offer the exact amount of their fare .
Conductors are not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until used, con
ditions "good for this dap only" or otherwise
admitting time of genuineness, are of no ac
count. Passengers who lose their tickets can
be ejected from the cars unless they purchase
a second one. Passengers are bound to ob-.,
serve decorum in the cars, and are obliged to
comply with all reasonable demands to show
their tickets. Standing on the platform, or
otherwise violating the rules of the company,
renders a person liable to be put from the
train. No person has a right to monopolize
more seats than he has paid for; and any ar
ticle left in the seat while the owner is tem
porarily absent entitles him to his seat on his
return.
Go to 3lcKiernan's, the popular 4th street
Tobacconist, for fine brands of Cigars and
Tobacco.
WHO WILL RESROND ?—Wanted—one
hundred and fifty young, men, more or less, of
all shapes and sizes, from the tall, graceful
dandy with hair sufficient on his upper lip to
stuff a barber's cushion, down to the little
bow-legged, freckled-face, carroty-headed up
start. The object is to form a gaping corps
to be in attendance at the church doors at the
close of divine service each Sdbbath evening
to stare at the ladies as they leave the church
and to make delicate and gentlemanly remarks
on their person and dress. All who wish to
enter the above corps will appear on the steps
of the various church doors next Sunday eve
ning, when they will be duly inspected, their
names, personal appearance and quality of
brains, registered in a book provided for that
purpose. To prevent a general rush u e will
state that no one will be enlisted who possesses
intellectual capacity above that of a well-bred
donkey.

The "Burlington Route," so called, lies right
in the path of the Star of umpire. It runs
almost immediately in the center of the great
westward movement of emigration. Crossing
Illinois and lowa, it strikes the Missouri river
at three points.
These three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the trans-Missouri re
gion.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land of
gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per-
petual summer. •
The middle gale is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south
of the Platte river, a region unsurpasse I on
the continent for agriculture and grazing.
Just here are the B. 8; M. Railroad lands, con
cerning Geo. S. Barris, the land officer at
Burlington, lowa, can give you all informs
tion, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the
State Capital and present terminus of the
road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con
nections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg,
running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. It run
the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and
pullinan dining cars, and shquld you take tfie
jonineifoi thijourney's" sake alone, you will
be repaid; or take it to find ahome of a farm
and you cannot find either better titan among
the B. Sr M, lands, where you can buy on ten
years' credit, and at a low price. tf.
