while the latter excels in outside grandeur
and pleas ,ntaess, the formsr sarpasacs in fire
side comforts and homo attractions. The poor
wretches who make two ends meet by flourish
ing the pen and pencil cannot always elect
when they well enjoy a little recreation from
toil and care. The truth is that when Sum
mer, lovely queen, dres-ed in verdant robes,
rules the season, the disciples of Faust and
Guttenberg are chained to their tripods, with
fetters of steel, as it were, to vindicate the
great truths embodied in the annual campaign
between the owls and th, bats, and cannot
desert the:r positions scarcely, for a day, lest
they be captured by the enemy. But the
usual campaign being over, the weather being
fair and the roads in excellent condition, we
determined to see some of our patrons and
make their acquaintance and ascertain wheth
er a railroad could really be built to McAlevy's
Fort, r Boalsburg, without money. We were
under the impression that many of our read
ers thought co, because they have shown no
disposition to take hold, but we assure them
that it is all a mistake, it cannot be done. It
will take a few rusty dollars.
Well, to carry our resolution into effect, we
borrowed a horse. saddle and head getr, and
after two whole days spent in constant prepa
ration, we mounted our bold Campeador, with
a huge satchel beneath our left arm and a plia
ble stick in our right hand and clattered out
of town, "jog along jog, jog," up Stone Creek
Avenue, for eleven miles, past "Screech Owl
Bend," the residence of the sage of Oneida,
so Conprobst Mills. Here we reined up and
proceeded to the residence of that prince of
good-fellows, Henry Conprobst, and were
made happy in his sight. After dinner we ex
amined his splendid new barn, erected by Mr.
Chaney, and found it to be a capital design, far
superior to any thing which we have ever
seen of the barn kind. The arrangements are
complete. It would be well for persons wish
ing to build good and improved barns to fash
ion them after this one. We made the ac
quaintance of Charles Slack, the wagon-ma
ker, Martin Getz, blacksmith, Samuel Barnett,
Edward Couch, James A. Curwin, Alex. My
ton, farmers, and A. L. Couch, school teacher,
and were glad to meet them. We put up for
the night with our friend and became the sub
ject of quite a number of his sly jokes, but we
won't say any thing about them ; not 'even
about the wasp. It was suggested that we
could take our own time to getting up in the
morning, but we suspected that our host de
sired to save a breallast, and consequently we
were up directly after the cook. Barton Greene,
Esq., has a very fine store, at this place, and
sells a large quantity of goods. When we
wore ready to depart for regions higher up,
our host proposed to accompany us to Cum

We pulled up at Curtis Kidder's and deter
mined to hear whether that agitator had any
thing new on the subject of the railroad, but
while he was brimful it was only the accumu
-1 itions of the old. Us talked railroad, be
sighed railroad, and he caught the least fa
vorable report with avidity, and added new
thoughts. Oh K.dderl K dder! when your
darling is a success, and thousands are enjoy
ing the fruits of your agitation, there wIl. be
at least one, if uo more, to recollect your
earnestness. This is about the average num
ber who never forget good offices of this kind.
We left him with reluctance and passed
through a most secluded defile to the base of
an old furnace stack where, many years ago,
some very unwise persons endeavored to make
a fortune, on a small scale, out of the iron busi
ness. Just beyond we , passed Mr. Joseph
huiton's and reined in at Cumminsville.
Here we met John lt'Alevy, David Cunning
ham and James Dickey. They were in a bet
ter humor than you generally find men in
the midst of a threshing machine break. They
were manifesting the patience of stolid phi
losophers. Here our friend Conprobst bid us
adieu and retraced his steps, and we beaded
to Ennisville, where we put up with our friend,
W. S. Smith, Esq., of the firm of Smith & Son,
store-keepers. At Mr. Smith's we had the
pleasure of partaking of a splendid dinner
with S. W. Myton, Esq., of Davenport, lowa,
and his accomplished bride, now on a bridal
tour. Our friend Smith lives perfectly at
home, and has all the comforts that any man
can want. Ennisville is handsomely located at
the junction of the roads leading from Peters
burg and Huntingdon to M'Alevy's Fort. The

At two o'clock, p.m., we took up the line of
march for the Fart, and fifteen minutes later
we were inside its hospitable walls. Jackson
Harmon, elsq , brought us down and we sur
rendered gracefully. Jack is a whole-souled
fellow and the fat of the land was at our dis
posal. We made the aCquainLance of a num
ber of c tzens in and about the place, among
those were It. V. Stewart, Geo. McAlevy, Mc-
Birney, Harper, Little, James Barr, the Brick
ets, &c., &c. We spent the evening with the
brethren of United Brother's Lodge of I. 0. 0.
F. very pleasantly. They have a very neat
an . well-adapted lodge room and are growing
rapidly in numbers. The village of M'Alevy's
Fort does not contain over two hundred in
habitants yet there is a vast amount of trade
conducted here. It is the depot for supplying
the greater portion of Jackson township.
On Sabbath morning, we rode over to Green
wood Furnares,o. distance of five miles, to hear
the Rev. Gwynn, who preached a most excel
lent discourse. This appointment belongs to
the Manor H.ll charge. We took dinner with
Mr. Gwynn, at Mr. DeArmit's, and spent the
remainder of the time, until Monday morning,
with Mr. Withers, the accomplished and gen
tlemanly manager of the Furnaces. Mr. With
ers has occupied the position which he now
occupies for fourteen years and upwards, and
his merits as a manager, in all these long
years, have been severely tested, and he has
come out with flying colors. Mr. Withers has
a very commodious reLideace and a very of
fectionate and interesting family around him.
The ladies of the household have our thanks
for their handsome entertainment of vocal
and instrumental music. Mr. Shultz c'erks
the store and Mr ffaskett the office, and both
are clever fellows.
Greenwood Furnaces are located in a pock
et of Jackson township formed by Broad and 1
stone mountains. We are not so sure about the
come of the latter. The first furnace was lo
cated, in this outeof-the-way place, some
thirty-seven years ago, and the second one
during the war. They both consume charcoal.
The company has some forty odd thousand
acres of timber land, from which they can
supply them, with this indispensable article,
for thirty-seven years to come. There are
over two hundred hands employed but they are
not now running to their fullest rapacity. The
new furnace is out of blast and the old one is
only yielding about thirty two tons of pig
metal per week. The ore is brought, a dis
Lance of two miles, from the mines, by means
of a tram-road, which lessens the expense of
transportation very much. The metal is taken
to Lewistown, a distance of fifteen miles, and
shipped to purchasers, who manufacture car•
wheels out of it, for which, it is said, to be a
very superior article.
On Monday we returned to M'Alevy's Fort,
took dinner at the only hotel in the place,
kept by Lieu. E. Little, and immediately there
after bid good-bye to the kind friends who had
shown 113 so much hospitality and passed Ea-

with cozy farm houses, to Saulsburg. Here
we called upon that genial gent!cman, Andy
Conover, who has just ensconced himself in
one of the neatest residences we saw along the
way, with everything as nest and bright about
him as a new pin. He introduced us to Mr.
Ash, who reminded us, slyly, that we nms'nt
be too hard on them, and that Kidder, good
fellow, was the fullest man of railroad in the
state. Ash only meant to compliment. We

future they will have light. From Saulsburg
we sauntered le surely down t 3 Manor Hil,
and put up at the Morrison House. We have
a partial.ty for Morrison Houses. ‘Ve were
very hospitably entertained by Mr. Morrison,
the proprietor, and his good lady. We spe:t
the evening, v try pleasantly, with Dorsey Silk

been built in the days of the Penns and al
lowed to scale off ever since. From Manor
Hill to Mooresville and Neff's Mills the land
is of the best limestone and an air of thrift
and happy circumstances present themselves
on every hand. At Neff's Mills we met Sheriff
Johnston and his son, who have a store at
this place and are driving a thriving business,
and Mr. Neff, the proprietor of the Mills.
From here down to Cottage the same splendid
country is on both sides of the splendid high
way. At Cottage we made the acquaintance
of Mr. Troutwine, the Post-master, and found
him driving a brisk and lucrative store busi
ness and Mr. Long, the landlord, and Messrs.
Quinn, the Shoemakers. A mile or two down
the road we fell in wills Squire Hamilton and
accompanied him into Petersburg. We put
up with our friend, of many years standing,
James M. Snowden, one of the proprietors of
the Petersburg Foundry. James was one of
the most active Republicans, a few years ago,
in Bedford county. He is scrupulously hon
est ; a man of principle and of backbone. Pe
tersburg is growing quite rapidly , and in u
few years will be quite a place. On the three
o'clock train we returned to Huntingdon to
find very unwelcome news—the severe illness
of our wife, but she is recovering rapidly
We were most hospitably treated by all whom
we met and they have our warmest thanks.
A word in conclusion in regard to the rail
road. We learned, at Greenwood Furnaces,
that the engineers were endeavoring to secure
4 route from Milroy to Boalsburg with a fail
prospect of success. This contemplated route
will bring them to the head waters of atone
Creek, within eight miles of WAlevy's Fcrt.
which would leave only a gap to be filled, be
tween Huntingdon and Boaleburg, of twenty
five miles. The road, we think, can be graded,

every foot of the way. We also learned that
the Lewistown, Centre ane Spruce Creek rail
road company intend 0 make the terminus of
their roan, at Bellefonte and not at Tyrone, of
Spruce Creek .as heretofore contemplated.
The Snoe Shoe road is putting eight miles,
from Bellefonte, in the direction of Boalsburf . ,
under contract, and the line from Lewisburg
is being rapidly pushed forward. This is the
state of the case north, what will Hutitih,gdon

AID-DE-CAMP WITH THE RANK OF COL
ONEL.--Ilis Excellency, Gov. John W. Geary,
Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard,
of Pennsylvania, has commissioned, J. Hall
S:usser, Esq., of this place, aid-de-camp with
the rank of Colone!, to date from the 29th day
of November, 1871.
We congratulate our friend on this hand
some acknowledgement of his long and ardu
ous services during the late rebellion, and as
sure Governor Geary that his honors could
not have fallen upon more worthy shoulders.
Colonel Musser, during the late civil war,
entered the service as a private soldier, in
1861, at the youthful age of seventeen years,
and served with great credit, without inter•
mission, for a term of four ymrs, until the
close of the rebellion, in 1865. lie was at
tached, during the entire period of service, to
the gallant old 45th Regiment of Pennsylva
nia Veteran Voltinteers. The regiment was
originally commanded by Col. Welsh and L:eut.
Col. James A. Beaver, and was attached, the
greater portion of the service, to the famous
Oth corps commanded by Maj. Gen. Burnside.
The subject of tills notice was with his Regi
meat in the campaign in south Carolina, in
the early part of the war, thes in Virginia,
next in Kentucky, at the siege of Vicksburg,
then back to East Tennessee and winding up
with Grant at Appomattox. Although he
participated in numerous battles and skirmish
es he was fortunately never wounded, but
made a hair-breadth escape at the siege of
Eaoxville, when his musket was shot out of
his hands. A younger brother entered the
service, in 1861, at the age of fifteen, as a pri
vate, iu the 110th Regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers ; and served with distinction, until
he was killed, at the battle of the Wilde:ness,
in 1864.
We wish the Colonel long life and the many
rewards which peace brings to the honest and
faithful soldier.
THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH
IMPOSITION.-We do hope that the day is not
far distant when the government will establish
a cheap telegraphic system, and until this i,
done the telegraph will be of comparatively
little value to those who are in nunlmtte cir
cumstances. We do think that the Western
Union Te egraph Company is one of the most
unreasonable monopolies in existence. A few
days ago it became necessary to send a num
ber of messages between the this point and
Bedford.a distance of fifty miles, but be
cause the company has no direct line to that
point,-we were compelled to pay forty cents
for each dispatch, of ten words, transmitted
over it- lines, thus making us pay twenty
cents a dispatch for their own want of a.:
commodations. We hope our business men
will patronize the Atlantic an l Pacific which
is much more I.beral in its rates and is an op-
position I.ne to th, above named monopoly.
CHANGE OF NUMER ILS.—In speaking
of a cross street and a long street together, the
numeral should be used first, thus: sth and
Hill streets, not Hill and sth streets. Custom
has established this as correct, besides it is
more euphonious. By the way we think our
authorities should anew the numbering system
of the town, by authorizing the use of the word
' , North" for numbt-rs of cross streets north of
the river. The time will come when the south
side of the river will b. built up ; the num
bers then will be duplicate; and a reference,
then, to title, and other papers made now, wid
refer to two separate properties. For exam-
Fie, a deed or mortgage on N 0.530, sth street,
examined twenty years hence, would leave the
examiner in doubt as to which side of the river
the property might be. Now is the proper
time to commence to use the word north, and,
besides, it sounds, much better.
1:4 LIMBO AGAIN.—John Houck, the
young man who broke jail in August last,
while awaiting sentence for assault and bat
tery with intent to commit a rape on the per
sou of Elizabeth Hounstein, was re-arrested,
on Friday night, by Policeman Fisher, and
returned to his old quarters, where, we hope,
he may oe kept until he takes his departure
for Allegheny. Houck has escape.) twice from
prison, and it behooves SherilF Houck to use
extra vigilance in hls safe keeping, in order
that justice may 11 rucutea out to him.
DEATH OF DAVID WURDEN.—Directly
after ourpaper had gone to pram last week,
the sad intelligence reached here, that Deere
lVonrmc. Esq , Superinteudent of the KomblC
Coal and Iron Company's Furnaces, at Rid
dlesburg, Bedford county, had died, on Monday
evening, the 11th inst., of pneumonia, in the
46th year of his age.
Mr. tVorden's death, though a comparative
stranger in Bedford county, cast a gloom over
the entire community. He had been connected
with the improvements made by the Kemble
Coal and Iron Company from their inception.
He was on the ground before the first stone
was laid in thosemagnificent structures which
will stand as monuments of his skill for many
years, and superintended them to their com
pletion and to their ultimate triumph. Well
was it for the citizens of Bedford county Viet
Norden become the pioneer to open up their
vast mineral resources. With him there was
an such "word as fail." His unparalleled in
dustry, quiet demeanor, ability to grasp and
overcome great obstacles made him the leader
among the most energetic and skillful of his
men and the admiration of all who knew him.
No wonder then that his loss is keenly felt and
that the feeling is universal that no one can
be found to successfully fill his place. His
loss is a heavy.one to Bedford county and the
iron interests of this section. We deeply
sympathize with those immediately interested
in him, and drop our tear in behalf of the
community which in him, loses one of its
brightest jewels.
Mr. Louder, who has been connected
with the office, since the establishment of the
works, and who understands them better than
any other man connected with them, has been
appointed temporary Superintendent, and we
hope that he may be continued permanently,
as he is a young man n orthy of every confidence
and the man upon whom, we think, the man
tles of the lamented Worden should fall.
ANOTHER. JAGFITNINO ROD AND INSU
RANCE SwISDLE.—Wc have repeatedly warned

whatever, seek to obtain the i notes, without
first having delivered the full value of them.

Elie latest case that has been biought to our
notice is the operation of a man styling him

lightning sod for apart of the consideration of
a note of $151,65, and gave the following

WINTERY.—The whistling wind tells us
that winter, with its snows and sighs and sor
rows is here. To some it brings only health
and happiness, to others, hunger and hopeless
ness ; to some, pleasures of the palate, to oth
ers the pinchings of poverty ; to some,
cheerfulness and comfort ; to others, the
cries of craving children ; to some the witch
ery of wealth, to others the wailings of want ;
it will bring to some the highest designs of ,
which we are capable in this sphere. Let all
whom God has blessed with a goodly store of
this world's wealth, remember the poor during
the coming winter. The man of the world and
and the woman of fashion amid the exciting
scenes of the social dance, will lose sight Of
the widow and the orphan, but their cry tone
the less ascend to Heaven, and it is incumbent
upon us as believers in Him who bade us to
care for the poor, that we should satisfy their
wants. Whilst you arc pursuing the phan
tom pleasure, forgetful there is pain or euff.w
ing in this world, many a starving babe is
vainly seeking nourishment from the empty
breast, wherein beats a heart as warm in ma
ternal love as ever the affection of heiress or
queen. Think of these things, and while you
lavish thousands in luxuriousness forget not
to alleviate the pangs of penury.—Exchange.

PAINTING AND WHITEWASIIING. — Th ,
buildings upon the rising ground on the north
side, arc adding greatly to the fine appearance
of our town. The view from the railway
trains, and especially from the Broad Top, is
beautiful and attractive. The beauty of that
part of town will be greatly added to, bowev
cr. when all the wooden houses are painted
white. Speaking of paint, we may here ex
press our gratification in view of the improv
ed taste exhibited by our people in this mat
ter. We are glad to see the dingy brown
paints abandoned and pure white used instead.
A stroll through West lluntingdon, where
white paint is used almost exclusively, is re
ally refreshing.
Paint is a preservative, besides adding
greatly to the appearance and value of a prop
erty, and we would sugzest that special atten

RATHER A BIG UNDERTAKING.—Mor
ris Wiernick, a lad aged fourteen years, a
nephew of William and Joseph March, of this
place, left Czenstochau, in Russian Poland, on
the 26th day of October last, and arrived in
New York the 22d day of December, alone.
It will be remembered that some eight weeks
ago, a vessel reached New York, bringing the
horrifying intelligence, that on the passage out,
some forty odd fatal cases of Cholera had oc
cured on board, and a number subsequently
occurred at Quarantine. Morris was a pas
senger on this vessel, and escaped the terrible
disease and after the expiration of the <guar
autinc order he made his way to Huntingdon
where the conductor set him off to find his
friends. He is a bright boy, small for his age
and plucky. Ho desgves a gold medal fur his
fortitude.

benefit of the M, E. Church, in M'Connells

BURLINGTON.—Leaving the East and
arriving at Chicago or Indianapolis, bow shall
we read' the West ? The bast Line is acknowl
edged to be the C. B. & Q., joined together
with the B. & M. Railroad by the Iron Bridge
at Burlington, and called the Buniniarog
ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma
ha, connects wall the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, formiag the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another barer of the B. IL, diverging at
Red Oak, falls iuto a line running down the
Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern lowa, and Missouri,
and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebraska
also.
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, furits towns "high gleam
ing from afar"—its tree-fringed streams—its
ro,gh bluffs and quarries—its corn oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach. .
Land-buyers will be sure to remember it, for
they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. S.
larris, the Laud Comissioner of the 11. & M.
R. R. at Burlington, lowa, or among the four
thousand home- steaders and pre-emptors who
last year filed claims in the Lincoln land of
fine, where "Uncle Sam is rich enough to give
us all a farm."

USED IN PIANO-FORTES.

REVERS ED

TIM
COMPOUND
REST
THE
FULi
IRON
AND THE
SUSTAINING
8,868
A FEW REASONS
ARION PIA NO
IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTIIERS
The ARION PIANO-FORTE has greater power
than any other Piano-Forte manufactured.
It will Stand in Tune Longer,
and in its mechanical construction it is more per
fect, and, therefore, more durable, than any instru
ment constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agraffe, the manner of
etring:ng, the peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS,
The use of a bar (which is a part of the Iron
Frame on a line with the heal" , steel stringing,)
GREAT STRENGTH
where most needed, and in this respect all other
plan.. fail
The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the cue
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness
throughout the scale, the excellent Singing Qnali
ity, the
LENGTH AND PURITY OF VIBRATION,
all go to prove what we Jlaim, vie ; that the
ARION PIANO-FORTE
Is the Best Instrument Manufactured
ALSO
ESTEYS COTTAGE ORGANS,
WITH THE
VOX JUBILANT
VOX lIUMANA
THE NE PLUS ULTRA OF
REED ORGANS,
univereally acknowledged to be the BEST Organ
made for Sunday School., Churchee. Parlors and
Lodges.
Having more power, with a sweeter tone, than
16 20
any other Organ in the market notwithstanding
the representations of agents interested in the sale
ICI
of other Organs, we do fully warrant every Organ
for the period of five years, (at our own expense.)
We have no agent in Huntingdon at present,there
fore all who may want one of the beat Organs ex
tant may receive, by corresponding with us, a
price and descriptive list front which a selection
may be made, to which we will give our personal
attention, and guarantee satisfaction,
