COURT AFFAIRS.—From out of the
very largo batch of criminal business, accu
mulated since the last regular session, and
after the usual number had been disposed of
by the Grand Jury, by compromise, and other
wise, the docket was finally cleared, last week,
by the trial and disposition of the following
cases:
Commonwealth ye. John King and John
Nash.
Indictment for assalt and battery, continued
from the August sessions. The prosecutor in
the case, Geo. Pierce, is a colored individual
of this place, where the parties all belong, who,
on the 22d of July last, the day of the balloon
ascension, was set upon and severely beaten
by the defendants. It appears from the evi
dence that not only the balloon but all the
parties engaged in this Affair were inflated to
an extent which rendered them somewhat un
manageable, and the result was, as is common
on such occasions, a kind of promiscuous
street fight, in which Pierce was knocked
down and rather roughly handled by the afore
said Nash and sing jointly, so as to disable
him for a considerable time afterwards.
King having pleaded guilty and submitted,
tho evidence was entirely relative to part
taken by the other defendant in the transac
tion, who was convicted in manner and form
as indicted, and the parties were sentenced,
King to pay a fine of $5, and cost of prosecu
tion, and Nash a fine of $lO, and cost, etc.
Whiskey.
Commonwealth vs. Daniel Grazier and Da
vid Buck.
The defendants in this case were the Super
visers of Warriorsmark township, and the
indictment was for neglecting or refusing to
open a public road, which had been laid out
and confirmed in November, 1844, an order
for the opening of which was obtained in June
last, and placed by the party who obtained it
in the hands of one of the defendants. The
first question entering into the case was as to
whether both defendants had notice of the
order, and the next one was whether it, was a
wilful violation of duty to refuse to open a
road the original order for which had been
allowed to slumber for twenty six years, the
circumstances being sufficient to remove from
the case the essential element to a conviction,
a willful disregard of the law. The question
was very ably argued by Messrs. Speer for
defendants, and P. M. Lytle in behalf of the
commonwealth, and the jury returned a ver
dict of not guilty, and prosecutor to pay the
costs.
Commonwealths vs. Henry Bollinger.
Indictment, assault and battery and assault
ing a religious meeting. This offense occurred
at a camp-meeting in Clay township, some
time in August last, at which time the prose
cutor, John Dickson, was, during one night of
the meeting, and while on duty as guard, as •
saulted in a rude manner by the defendant,
who resisted forcibly the attempt made to re
move him from the ground, and that in con
sequence of the excitement thus occasioned, a
large crowd of persons gathered around the
scene of disturbance to the annoyance and
interruption of the religious services then in
progress. The defense consisted in the alle
gation that the alleged assault was intended
as a joke, and that it lacked the essential
ingredient of malice in securing a conviction.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on
either count of the indictment, and three-fifths
of the cost on the defendant and the ballance
on the prosecutor. Messrs. Woods and Wil
liamson for defendant.
It was in evidence that the defendant was
intoxicated to some extent at the time the
affray took place. LIQUOR I
Commonwealth vs. John Morningstar and
Adam Price.
The defendants in this case were indicted
for assault and battery, and for assaulting a
police officer, in this Borough on the night of
the 16th of December last, at which time said
defendant had been imbibing rather freely,
and, as a natural consequence, were drunk,
riotous, and uproarous, making the night
hideous with their bachanalian revels and dis
turbing the tranquillity of all peacably inclined
citizens, and amongst other harmless amuse
ments incidental to an overdose of "tangle
foot," smashing in the door of Dean's hotel.
Policeman J. Westbrook was called upon to
suppress the disturbance and in attempting to
arrest them, was struck with a stone in the
hands of one of them, and severely injured on
the head. This was a test case as to whether
the police officers of the Borough were prop
erly appointed and legally authorized to make
arrests, or, in other words, whether rampant
rowdyism should be allowed full sway, and
crime and lawlessness go unwhipped of jus
tice. The case was argued by Messrs. Petri
ken for the defendants, and Speer for the
commonwealth, and the jury returned a ver
dice of guilty in manner and form as indicted.
The prisoners were sentenced to each to pay
a fine of $lO and jointly to pay the cost of
prosecution, and undergo an imprisonment of
one week. The punishment was made thus
light by the court, at the earnest solicitation
of the counsel and quite a number of citizens,
but not without the positive assurance that
no influence whatever should prevent them
from being punished to the full extent of the
law should the offense be repeated hereafter.
Mr. Speer assisted in the prosecution, and the
defense was conducted by Messrs. Petriken
and Lytle. STRYCHNINK
Commonwealth vs. Lewis Reichter.
The defendant in this case is the keeper of
a saloon in this place, and the indictment was
for selling liquor without license, and to
minors. The action on the part of the com
monwealth was sustained, and a verdict ren
dered of guilty in manner, etc. The defendant
was sentenced to pay a fine of $5O and costs
of prosecution, and fifteen days imprisonment
on the first count, and on the second a fine of
$2O and costs and ten days imprisonment.
BENZINE III!
Commonwealth vs. Martha Weston
Indictment, selling liquor to persons of
known intemperate habits, without license,
and to minors. The defendant is the propri
etress of a public house in the borough of
Mapleton. A large number of witnesses were
in attendance, and the case was oue which
excited quite an amount of interest and sym
pathy on both sides, the peace-loving and
well-disposed portion of the citizens of the
village declaring that they had forborne till
forbearance was no longer a virtue, and that
the safety of the community positively de
manded that steps should be taken for the
enforcement of the law, and the suppression
of the liquor traffic. On the other hand con
siderable sympathy for the defendant in con
sideration of her sex, and from the fact of her
being a widow woman, with a family to sup
port, and compelled to resort to some means
of obtaining a livelihood. The case was
clearly made out, and a verdict rendered of
guilty in manner and form as indicted, but in
view of the fact that the defendant had igno
rantly and not willfully broken the law and
incurred its penalty, a petition, invoking the
clemency of the Executive in her behalf, was
prepared, and numerously signed by the mem
bers of the Bar, officers of the court, and
citizens, including the entire jury which tried
the case, by means of which a pardon was
obtained, remitting the fine and imprisonment
and subjecting her only to the payment of the
costs of prosecution which were imposed by
'the court.
The counsel for the commonwealth was
assisted by Mr. Speer, and the defense was
conducted by Messrs. l'etriken and Lytle.
Rum I ! I !
Commonwealth vs. John S. Pheasant,
This was an indictment for the same offense,
and the parties were from the same locality,
the defendant being also a hotel keeper in the
borough of Mapleton. Defendant plead guilty
and submitted to the court, and was sentenced
to a fine of $5O, and costs, and imprisonment
for ten days on each of the three counts on
the indictment. TANGLEFOOT ii II ! 1
Commonwealth vs. Geo. E. Little.
The defendant is the proprietor of a public
house in the village of M'Alevy's Fort, and
the indictment was for selling liquor to per
sons of known intemperate habits. The case
of the commonwealth broke down for want of
sufficient evidence to convict, and the District
Attorney abandoned the case. The jury ren
dered a verdict of not guilty, and that the
prosecutor pay the costs. OLD RYE
Commonwealth vs. Brady Wise.
In this case the defendant, a young man
about 22 years of age, living in Union town
ship, near Mapleton, was indicted for setting
fire to a stack of straw in the barn-yard of
A. D. McCall, the prosecutor, on the 18th of
December last. It would seem from the evi
dence that on the evening above named he
had been absent from home, and returned with
a very heavy load of fighting whiskey. On
arriving at home, owing to some alleged of
fense, he signified his intention to make a
clean sweep of everything about the premises,
and commenced to put his threat into execu
tion by striking a match and attempting to
set fire to the straw pile,'which he was pre
vented from doing by the interference of the
prosecutor, who is a tenant on the farm of
defendant's father, and occupied a building
near the barn, and on the same premises. The
defendant had been, for the last six years, in
the Volunteer and Regular service, and re
turned home recently minus an arm, and oth
erwise disabled, since which time he has man
ifested symptoms of aberration of mind, and
an effort was made, on the part of the defense,
to prove him non compos mentis , hi) t the evi
dence not being satisfactory on that point the
jury returned a verdict of guilty in manner
and form as indicted. A motion being made
for a new trial and arrest of judgment the
sentence was deferred till after the argument
court. STAGGER JUICE 11111111
Robert Houck and Albert Glassmyer, the
former the ever-dutiful son, and the latter the
loving and affectionate son in-law of Catha
rine Houck, of this borough, were, upon in
dictment for surety of the peace, instituted by
the aforesaid Catharine, sentenced to pay the
costs of prosecution, and enter into recogniz
ance in the sum of $lOO, for one year. The
parties had maltreated and made certain rath
er significant threats against the precious life
of their honored maternal relative, while in a
state of mental and physical excitement, aris
ing from an overdose of—FIRE-wezzu !ill!!
A. A. Jacobs and James Glenny, of this
place, who were indicted for refusing to assist
a peace officer in preserving the peace, were
released upon payment of costs, it appearing
that they acted under a misapprehension in
regard to the authority of the office, the de
fendants having plead guilty and submitted.
CIVIL Lisr.
The following cases, on the civil list, were
also tried and disposed of during the past week:
C. W. Ashcom vs. D. Cr. Cantner.
This was an action for debt in which the
plaintiff claimed for boards alleged to have
been sold to defendant, in August, 1865, after
having been used for camp meeting purposes,
near Ilarklesburg station, under an agreement
between them, and for the consideration of
$lO2, the quantity being supposed to be 6,000
feet; the defendant agreeing to haul them
away, and being allowed to deduct the amount
of all lumber that was cut or damaged, the
entire claim being for the above amount, less
$1.71 for cut boards, and $l7, admitted to
have been paid.
The defence consisisted in the allegation
that there was a deficiency of some 4,000 feet
in the lumber, when measured and removed,
some three or four weeks afterwards, and that
defendant was not entitled, under the agree
ment, to pay for more lumber than was actu
ally found there, and further that he was not
under an agreement to take the lumber by the
lump but by the thousand.
The question was simply whether the con
tract was complete at the time of the conver
sation in regard to the price, or whether it
was not complete or executed until the actual
carrying away and delivery of the boards to
the defendant. If the former, the instruction
of the court was that there was a construc
tive delivery at the time, and that any subse
quent loss of the lumber was the loss of the
defendant, and not of the plaintiff ; but if the
latter, then any loss that occurred would be
that of the plaintiff.
Verdict for plaintiff for $llO. Brown and
Bailey for plaintiff, Woods and Williamson for
defendant.
August Koehler vs. John E. Seeds and Jose
phine Seeds.
This was an action brought to recover for
some two years services as a farm hand, on a
farm occupied by the defendants, John E.
Seeds being insolvent, and Josephine Seeds
his wife being the owner of the farm. It was
in evidence that the plaintiff, in the spring of
1869, made a bargain with the husband, in
presence of the wife, to work for one year,
and afterwards worked another year on the
same terms, when he settled with them, and
took a sealed bill, signed jointly by the de
fendants, for $232, the balance due him. The
only defense set up by the responsible party,
was that of coverture, that is, that at the
time of the contract, she was married, which
prevented her contract from being enforced
against her; in other words, that the parties
were willing to receive and appropriate the
services of the plaintiff for two long years
without recompensing him for it, because they
were enabled to do so by taking advantage of
his ignorance of the law. The court was com
pelled to instruct the jury, as a matter of law,
to find for the defendant as against his wife,
and for the plaintiff as against the husband,
inasmuch as the contract was not only made
with her, but that it was made with him, the
separate estate of the wife not being bound
for any contracts made by her husband., or
even by herself, except for necessaries furs
ished for the maintenance of herself or family,
on ajudgment for purchase money on land,
in all of which cases this contract must be
made with her and not with her husband,
The case of the plaintiff not coming under
any rule of law, could not be decided other
wise under the evidence, although, as remark
ed by the court, the case was decidedly a
hard one. Verdict for the plaintiff for $256.82
as against John E Seeds. Lytle and Brown
for plaintiff, Petrikla and Dorris for defen
dants.
Lazarus Moyer va. Wm. B. Hicks and Isaac
Walls.
Action of debt, brought to recover a bal
ance on bill of liquors sold by plaintiff to de
fendants, in 1869. The question was as to
the liability of Wall, one of the defendants.
It was alleged by plaintiff that after the time
of sale he found defendants, as he supposed,
jointly engaged in keeping hotel at Water -
street, and that they jointly agreed to pay the
bill. Hicks, the other defendant proving af
terwards to be insolvent, suit was brought
against both parties to recover the amount.
The joint liability of Walls was denied on the
part of defense, and it was clearly proven that
he had no interest in the business, but was
simply there as a boarder, but it was further
contended that, inasmuch as the liquors were
shipped from time to time, and the bills sent
in the name of both parties, and that with
the knowledge of Walls, that, in neglecting to
undeceive him he rendered himself jointly
liable, on the familiar principle of law that
he who remains silent when he ought to speak
cannot be heard when equity demands that
he should be silent. Verdict for plaintiff.
Brown & Bailey for plaintiff, Petrlkin Mat
soy for defendant!.
Out of the unusually large amount of crim
inal businss, with which the Sessions docket
was burdened, and in consequence of which
the county has been saddled with an immense
cost, it will be observed, by reference to the
list, that, 'with one solitary exception, every
case on the list was the direct result of the use
of intoxicating liquors ! had there been no
liquor sold within the limits of our county ;
there would have been but one Commonwealth
case to try, and one less civil suit, and the
court, instead of being occupied the entire
week, could have despatched all the business
in less than two days. Could there be a bet
ter text offered, for a temperance address, or
a more forcible appeal to the moral sense, as
well as the pockets of the people, in behalf of
a prohibitory law.—[ftspourza.]
WHAT A FELLOW SUFFERER HAS TO
SAY.—Brown, of the New Castle Gazette and
Democrat, was over here a couple of weeks
ago, and on his return home, be wrote two
mortal columns of the spiciest wit—great
chunks of it—on his tour. If we had the
space we would like to give it all to our rea
ders, but as we cannot do this, we give that
portion which refers directly to this county.
Re does Spruce Creek up handsomely, which
will "please dem fellows very mooch." We
are sorry that he saw our tile go down ; it
looked bad afterwards ; we really think it was
ashamed of the boy, and then every body
laughed so I But listen to Brown ;he always
does things up Brown:
"From Altoona to a country station named Spruce
Creek, in Huntingdon county, we went in an ac
commodation train. The stranger traveler over
the Penn'a Central railroad wonders at the rough,
untillahle, mountainous country through which the
road passes. He sees very little except streams
and huge rocky monuments of a grayish blue, in
places covered with scraggy pine trees.. Here and
there a village is modestly squatted on a little flat
on the bank of a stream. The trains stop at these
little places, the traveler wonders what for. The
explanation is that on either side of the railroad
the many fertile valleys stretch away,and these sta
tions are the outlets for their produce, and the de
pots for the goods they receive in return. Hund
reds of thousands of bushels of wheat and other
veins are shipped from these places to the city
markets. The valleys between the spurs of the Al
leghenies and the Blue Ridge are most fertile.
They are well protected from Winter storms by the
mountains that wall them in, leaving but a nar
row pass—the mouth of some stream—a highway
to the railroad. Such a place is the village of.
Spruce Creek, located at the mouth of a stream by
that name which flows into a branch of the song
famed blue Juniata. An uninteresting cluster of
houses is all that at first sight meets the eye, but
in four different directions branch out beautiful
valleys, of which this place is the business and
railroad center. In a two horse stage coach we
trundled along the pike, which follows the creek in
its winding course up the valley. This valley is
ten or twelve miles in length, and varies in breadth
from an eighth of mile to three miles. Fine farms,
with many nice farm buildings dotting them are
spread in map like nicety. The air is pure and
the mountain scenery magnificent. Talk of the
Yo-Semi-te valley of California. No one need go
out of our own Pennsylvania, to witness the gran
duer and sublimity of nature. Neither the artist's
pencil, nor the tourist's pen can picture truthfully
these views, even at this season of the year, and
how much lovlier they are in midsummer. There
is yet some game in the uplands, and an occasion
al deer falls a prey to the rifle, and woe to the wild
turkeys that come down to the wheatfields in win
ter for a meal. In the limpid waters of Spruce
creek sport many a speckled trout, though shy of
"fly and reel." There area number of forges and
iron works in the valley, and occasionally we pass
a six mule team lumbering slowly along with a
heavily loaded, broad wheeled wagon, either haul
ing charcoal to the forges, or pig iron or blooms
away to the railroad. Little villages, principally
noted for good, honest people and scores of child
ren. In fact the whole valley is populated with
an honest, intelligent and steady class of citizens.
"On Wednesday oveninr, 27th ult., we went to
Tyrone to hear Oliver Logan deliver her celebrated
lecture "Nice 'Young Men." [Here the printers tell
us "no more copy wanted, paper's up. "] And we
have‘not written a word yet of what Olive said ;
of our visit to the office of the Tyrone Herald, of
Capt. Jones, its enterprising publisher and first
class job printer; of the Herald editor, Brainerd,
the renowned Brainerd, unexcelled paragraphist
and genial fellow, the man whose paper we open
first of all in the Monday's mail; of how he pro
cured a "reserved seat" for us; of that structure
which disgraces Tyrone—that Bridge (of sighs), at
least Brainerd always.s-ighs when he speaks of it.
How shall we tell of our trip to Huntingdon in the
midnight train with Durborrow, Esq., the editor
of the Huntingdon JOURNAL, without occupying
further space. Of visiting his sanctum next day;
of finding the once lethargic JOURNAL awaked in
to a live and prosperous newspaper, under his vig
orous management. Of witnessing the total de
struction of his silk hat, by a promising youth of
Huntingdon planting his hoof down on it and flat
tening it, while at the Institute next evening. Of
visiting the Globe office '
and finding Lindsay, with
his coat off, hard at job work, but cheerful withal,
owing to success in business and domestic bliss.
How shall we tell of onrreturn trip, etc., etc., with
out taking up space. We can't do it, so we sue
carob to the pressure."

SUMMARY OF NEWS FROM THE "Low-
Eit EXll."—Mr.Harman, who took part of the
edntract for making the new mad from Black
Log Valley to Silverthorn's Mill, in Tell town
ship, has finished his contract, which extended
from Shirley township to the summit of Shade
Mountain. The contractor for the southern
end is within fifty yards of connecting on said
summit of the mountain. When finished the
distance will be shortened twelve miles from
the present route via. Shade Gap, which is
twenty-two miles from point to point. This
will save considerable milage to the county
seat from Tell township.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the East Broad Top Railroad and Coal
Company, was held in Philadelphia, on the
Bth inst., for the election of officers for
said road. Any further action taken by the
Board is as yet unknown here. The principal
engineer, we understand, has furnished the
drafts and estimates for said road, which were
to have been laid before the Board at said
meeting. The citizens all along the contem
plated route are on tip-toe in anticipation of
the road being made, and some of them who
own mineral lands are at work developing the
Shirley and Clay townships have been se
verely scourged with the measles of the most
malignant type. They were imported into the
neighborhood from Philadelphia.
The Baptist Church, at Shirleysburg, has
just closed a series of meetings. Nine persons
professed conversion. Six of them were bap
tised ou last Sabbath by Rev. J. W. Evans.
The Presbyterians of Mount Union have re
cently closed a series of meetings, and some
ten or twelve have been added to the church.
The Methodist Church, at Scottsville, is now
engaged in a very interesting revival, and a
goodly number are forward for prayer.
The United Brethren of Mount Union dedi
cated their new church building on Sabbath,
7th inst. It is a fine brick edifice, built in
the Gothic style, and cost some $5,500. They
raised $2,100 on the day of dedication, in ad
dition to previous subscriptions amounting to
$3,500. AUGHWICK.
A GOOD MOVE.—We heard last week
of a movement in our town, of a very gratify
ing character. It was no less, than, that a
written agreement wee being circulated by
and among the owners of hotel property, in
our town, and the landlords, stipulating they
would not keep or sell, or permit to be kept
or sold, on their premises, any kind of liquors.
We have not heard how many of our landlords
were willing to enter into the agreement, but
we were assured that some were anions to
do so.
In view of the annoyance and trouble, given
to our landlords, their families and guests,
by disorderly persons and lazy loungers, who
always congregate where liquor is sold, we
think our landlords would be glad to give up
the keeping of liquors. If all would cease
keeping liquors, all would be on an equal
footing, and every one would do just as large
a business as formerly. The same number of
people would travel, and stop at our hotels,
as if liquor's were kept. In many parts of the
country, the hotels have no bar connected
with them, and yet it is found profitable to
keep the hotels without bars, ten chances to
one if it is not more profitable. It is a well
known fact that for a long time in our own
town, two or three of our largest hotels have
rented out their bars, to parties entirely un
connected with the hotels. The peace and
quiet of the hotels are worth more than the
paltry sum received for the rent of the bar,
and therefore why not keep it off the premises
entirely. Feeling satisfied, that if this move
ment is consummated by our landlords, that
they, together with onr hotels, will be greatly
benefitted and improved, we can heartily wish
it success.
RAILROAD TO LEWISTOWN DIRECT.—
We learn from one of our citizens, Janie:
Milliken, Esq., who has been instrumental in
reviving the project of a Railrord to Lewistown,
thrtrugh the seven mountains, that the matter
now has the approval of the railways which
this enterprise will, in short, connect to
gether,vix The Penn'a R. It., the Lewistown
and Sunbury R. R., the Bellefonte and Snow
Shoe R. R., and the Bald Eagle Valley R. R.
and, that with the'early spring a thorough ex
amination and survey, will be made of a route
considerably west of former surveys—possibly
extending into Stone Valley. The practica
bility of the route being established, the road
will be constructed, for we cannot doubt that
the benefits which will accrue to our large
agricultural, mining and manufacturing inter
ests, must insure this result. The present
Railroad distance from Bellefonte to Lewis
town is over ninety miles, by the proposed
route it may not exceed forty seven, with less
than thirty-five miles to construct, (with like
saving to the sea-board cities) which will
guarantee, to this enterprise, such a traffic in
coal, iron, lumber, manufactured products, as
to render it at once remunerative on its legiti
mate cost.
We understand that this project will not in
any way interfere with the Lewisburg and
Spruce Creek Narrow Gauge road, which if
built, will cross it in Pennsvalley uud pursue
its course to Tyrone, each the other in
traffic benefitting.
We shall advocate for this undertaking the
heartiest support, believing it one that will do
much to develop° and promote the material
interests of this part of the State, more especi
ally of Centre and Mifflin counties.—Bellefonte
Republican.
THE ROLLING MILL.—For souse weeks
the subject of a Rolling Mill has been fully
discussed among our business men, and at last
we are assured the matter has assumed a defi
nite form, We learn that a Joint took Com
pany Is about to be organized under the gen•
eral Mining and Manufacturing Laws of Penn
sylvania, with a capital stock of $40,000. The
shares are to be of $l,OOO each and, we are
assured, that at least $25,000 of the amount is
already taken. This looks like business. We
refrained from saying anything in regard to
this matter, heretofore, nntil the project would
assnrae some definite shape, and now since it
seems that all the preliminary steps have been
taken we urge all those who can to give it a
helping hand. This, above all other places, is
splendidly adapted to the location of Furnaces
and Rolling Mills. It is only necessary to break
the ice and capital will come this way in
abundance, the town will spring up as if
by magic, manufactories of every kind will
start into existence and property will treble in
value. Let everybody encourage the project
and especially those who can must put their
shoulders to the wheel and push along the
column, The impression has gone abroad, that
with the exception of half-a-dozen or ten live
men, Huntingdon is made up of old fossils, who
stand in the way of every enterprise and impede
it, and who are only fit, in the plain, for first
class fneerals, I t et us show our jeering neigh
hors that we have the enterprise, and that
while they are sneering at us we will give
them the practical lie.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE JOURNAL—With
this issue of the Journaw, we send out a sup
plement. We would call attention to the ad-
vertisement of Eastman's Business University.

One half hour A. M and P. M. was used for De—
votional exercises.
The prOposition, Can the literature of Sabbath
Schools be improved? was discussed earnestly and
ably in the affirmative by q W Reynolds and J R
Lowry. The latter puts more confidence in relig
ions papers for distribution than books; he does
not estimate Sabbath School libraries very highly.
Could they be successfully conducted without Li
braries? A G Ewing, B F Browfi, Dr Van Tries
and Rev Castleman, spoke in the affirmative, but
none appeared disposed to dispense with them en
tirely. Some think libraries are too fictitious, and
lead to reading romantic productions.
What relation does the teacher sustain to his
class? was ably discussed by J R Lowry, B F
Brown, andJ Stewart, all agreeing that the teacher
should be a devoted Christian, and should pray for
his class in secret, and should have faith in God.
What relation does temperance have to the Sab
bath School ? This was discussed with much enthu
siasm by Rev J D Brown, Dr Van Tries, G W Rey
nold, S Ralston, Esq, and D K Fry, all of whom
think that teachers should make special efforts to
impress upon the minds of their pupils the import
ance of totally abstaining from touching anything
that intoxicates, as the only safe course in the
journey of life. This was opposed by Mr Crowell,
of Birmingham, but he was completely overthrown
by the logic against him.
Some gentlemen would go so far as to form tem
perance societies in our Sabbath Schools, and insist
upon having the pupils sign a teetotal pledge; oth
ers think all christian che i rches and Sabbath schools
are temperance bodies, and that it is their mission
to set up Christ's kingdom in the heartsof its mem
bers, and where his kingdom is, all evils are de
barred.
Should the alphabet be taught in the Sabbath
School? Capt D Ross Miller spoke in the affirma
tive, and S Ralston, Beg, and others in the negative.
On the second afternoon the children were ably
addressed by Revs W J Owens and J D Brown.—
Rev Brown related some affecting incidents which
he witnessed during his missionary labors in India.
He sang "There is a happy land," for no in the
Hinder, language, with thrilling effect on the vast
congregation who heard it.
Rev J D Brown, of Carlisle, lectured each even
ing upon the moral and political condition of the
people of India. His lectures were highly edify
ing and impressive, and were listened to with pro
found attention throughout. The most impressive
passage related to the surprise and amazement of
many Hindoos, when they heard that the Savior
had died for sinners 1000 years ago, and that the
Americans could be a Christian people, and yet
never sent a messenger to proclaim that great tid
.
ings till now. Mr brown possesses the
faculty of sending home with telling effect to the
hearts of his hearers the truths he wishes to im
press. lie proclaims the great truths of salvation
as though he had not a moment to lose; as though
his great Master was standing beside him urging
him forward, as though he was sounding his last
note of warning, ere taking his departure for the
Judgment Bar.
Tiie Convention selected Franklinville for its
next meeting. It will meet semi-annually. It is
composed of the Schools mentioned above and
some others adjacent. It is called the Union Sab
bath School Association. Permanent officers are,
President, G W Reynolds ; Vice President, T K
Henderson; Secretaries, Dre Van Tries and Deaver;
Cor Sec, A G Ewing; Bossiness Committee, G B
Porter, J C Hartmek and Wm Cole. The conven
tion was entertained by excellent instrumental and
vocal music, discoursed by a choir formed under
the management of the Methodist Church of War
rior's Mark. A DELEGATE.

LITERARY NOTICES.— The New York
Observer has issued its Year-Book and Almon
iD for 18'p, including an amount of valuable
information, very rarely condensed into one
volume, and sold for a dollar. It is a library
of statistics and facts in civil, religious, edu
cational, agricultural, and philosophical de
partments, such as every intelligent family
desire to have at hand for daily consultation.
All the countries and governments of the
world are here displayed, with accurate state
ments of their rulers, resources, productions:
it gives a general summary of all the Benevo
lent Institutions and Religious Denominations
in the world, with a complete Ministerial
Directory of nearly every Religious Body in
the United States ; a complete list of all the
Colleges, Theological Seminaries, Medical and
Law Schools in the United States; a careful
ly prepared List of the recent valuable Publi
cations issued by the leading Publishing
Houses of the country, with the prices ; an
extended Chronological Table of Important
Events, from the creation to the presept time ;
also the entire reading matter of Poor Rich
ard's 41manac, by Benjamin Franklin, during
the first sixteen years of its publication, in
cluding all its celebrated Proverbs and
Apothegms. The tables and lists of the peers
and chief rulers of Great Britain, and the
Chronologies of the United States, are in
themselves of the greatest value as a study for
the young, and to refresh the memories of the
old.' Such a book will be of almost daily use
and aid in the household, adding to all the
information to be found in the common Al
manac a thousand facts that could not be
found elsewhere without vast labor. It is a
perfect Hand-Book for the household, and one
who has it will wonder that he was ever able
to do without it.
The New York Observer enters upon its 50th
year with more than the vigor and freshness
of youth, and with the energy and maturity of
manhood. Its last five years baye been ' . the
most prosperous of its existence. It is un
rivaled in the extent and value of its corres
iionSence—foreign and domestic; its Editors
have personally made themselves familiar with
the various countries of the globe, by actual
examination of their condition; and being of
various Christian demoninations, they make a
religious newspaper, not sectarian, but thor
oughly Protestant and Evangelical, and fairly
exhibiting every week the progress of each
and all the chnrolses, nlthout partiality or in
justice to any.

TAKE IT TO YOUR HOMIL—It is so much the
fashion nowadays to convey information, and
moral truths and sentiments, in the form of
Stories, that even some popularlecturers have
adopted this style of address. The mass of
people, especially the young, demand stories
to such a degree, that papers filled with sen
sational novels and exciting, trashy stuff, have
a wide circulation. To forestall this taste,
and supply something better to the masses,
the Publishers of Hearth and Rome. in addi
tion to the usual variety of that paper, have
engaged a corps of first-class writers, among
whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Eggleston,
Mary E. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Edward
Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Harriet
Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria R. Oakley,
Lucia G. Runkle, and many others, who fur
nish to this Journal the beat Original Stories,
of the purest character and highest grade—thus
conveying much instruction in a pleasing form.
Besides these, the weekly Hearth and Home
contains a large amount of first-class reading,
editorials, literature, art, science, amusement;
instruction for the housekeeper, the gardener,
the farmer; a capital department for Children
and Youth ; the news of the day; financial
and market reports, etc. Its engravings, cost
ing over $26,000 a year, are of a high order
of merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper
in the world. Altogether, Hearth and Home
,
is such a journal as may be safely and vt ry
profitably taken into a family. It is supplied
at the low rate of $3 a year; four copies for
$11; and ten or more copies , for $2.50 each.

woßngN.—On the 12th ult., at Riddlesburg,
Pa., Mr. David Worden, Superintendent of the
Furnace of the Kemble Coal and Iron Company at
that place.
Mr. Worden was burn in Rochester, New York.
His parents bad moved to that place from High
land, Ulster county, and after the death of his
father, his mother returned to Highland, which
thus became his home.
Mr. Worden came as a boy into the Finishing
Department of the West Point Foundry, at Cold
Spring, N. V. and soon became distinguished for
his ability and skill as a mechanic.
liis positition gradually became a prominent
one, and his ability was exhibited not only in his
own personal skill, but in superintending the
erection of machinery sent from the Foundry to
distant points . Ile ever justified the confidence
placed in him and the work entrusted to his
charge was alway put into successful operation.
One prominent instance only need be referred to.
lie had charge of the erection of the engines of the
well known "Merrimac;" fitted out in Boston, and
at the time a specimen of War Steamer which had
not been surpassed, which went forth, moved by
her engines for the first time, upon a winter trial
cruise resulting in an entire success.
Mr. Wordon;as honorably ambitious and sought
in many ways to build up a business for himself,
founded up9n his deoided mechanical and engin
eering ability.
lle - was in California, and subsequently went,
with machinery, to the mines of Montana, display
ing great energy and endurance but without pe
cuniary success..
He ha ‘ d for a time the care of the machinery in
the Furnaces at Hudson, N. T., and also the charge
of a blast furnace at Cold Springs, and ho never
failed to carry with him the respect of his employ
er and the confidence and regard of all with whom
ho was associated. In IS6B Mr. Worden took
charge of the propaity at Riddlesburg, Pa., at
which point it was proposed, by the Kemble
Coal and Iron Company, to erect a Blast Furnace
for the smelting rf the iron ore, found in that vi
cinity, with the coal of the Broad Top coal fields
in which Riddlesburg is situated.
In many respects The undertaking was an ex
perimental one. Iron had not been made in that
region with the material now to be used, No mix
tures of ore, so generally desired, could then be
obtained, as only ono seam had been reached.
Plans of the furnaces, machinery and all appen
dages of a stueltiog furnace were made and the
whole of the buiding and equipments completed
with great dispatch, and in the solid and substan
tial manner which characterized all Mr. Worden's
constructions.
To those who know the difficulties and frequent
disappointments attending the operalion of new
blast furnaces, in a new region, and particularly
those which must use untried combinations of ma
terials, it is enough of praise, to say that the fur
nace started by Mr. Worden in July, 1868, is still
on its first blast and in successful operation.
Another furnace was afterwards added and is
also now running suocessfully, and Mr. Worden
could justly look fsrward to many days of com
fort as the reward of his successful exertions.
Ile enjoyed the full confidence of all whom in
terests he had in charge, and they desired to make
his position in all respeoto comfortable and satis
factory. But all such kind purposes were destin
ed tg be overruled. A cold, taken during some
unguarded exposure,qaid the foundation of an at
tack of Pneumonia, under whioh Mr. Worden sank
amidst the grief of all around him.
Mr. Worden left two children, whose mother
died some years since. Their home is with his
own mother at Higland. At this retired and
beautiful village Mr. Worden was burled with im
pressive services, in which a large concourse of
neighbors and friends bore testimony to the worth
of one who was mourned as a good son, a loving
parent and a faithful friend.

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD
DR. CROOKS COMPOUND
SYRUP OF POKE ROOT.
Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu
tation ass Blood PuriEer,andfor the sure of Rheu
matism. With all this local reputation, and the
praise of distinguished Physicians, (Dre. Coe, Lee,
Kin g , Wilson, H. Hunt, Griffits, Copland and oth
ers,)who have tested its medical powers; it has
been neglected by the profession at large, as much
through a want of a proper appreciation of Ramer
its, as a knowledge of the proper way to prepare it
for medicinal use. Dr Oliver Crook, (a physiiian
who devotes his entire time to the duties of his
profession), has fully tested the active medicinal
qualities of Poke Root during the last 25 years,
and unhesitatingly pronounces it to have MORE
manrr—for diseases depending on a depraved con
dition of the blood,—than any and all other arti
cles named in the Materia Medics. Under his in
structions our Chemists have combined the active
medicinal qualities of Poke Root with the best
Tonic Preparation of Iron, and we offer this pre
paration to the public under the above name.
