K! DING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE,
LOCAL AND PERSONAL,
How DELEGATES TO TIIE Guss CON
VENTION WERE MANUFACTURED IN WARRIORS
MARIE.-A correspondent sends 113 the follow-
Strictly in pursuance to a call for a dele
gate meeting, by Gusty Guns, the merited head
of the Woods disorganizers, a few person; met
at Warriorsmark School House to select dele
gates to mis-represent tho Borough and Town
ship (?) of Warriorsmark at the Bogus Con
vention to be held at Huntingdon on the 9th
instant.
The meeting was organized by electing D.
R. (Dr.) Fry president and Christopher Dun
gate secretary.
This Fry and five or six small frys consti
tuted the tremendous outpouring of the Re
publicans-as they mis represented would come
of on this occasion ; and this meeting too was
a consolidation of the Borough and Township,
as all the business for both was done at the
same session and by the same organization.—
The great body of the republicans being too
wide awake and too well posted of the situa
tion to bite at such an unpalitable bait.
In addition to theabove five or six interested
or sympathic persons there were several other
persons present as spectators among whom
there were three or four Democrats who were
ready, as we suppose, to render any timely aid
and comfort that their half-brethern might
need in their extremely critical condition.
One exceedingly dim light was sufficient for
them to transact all their important business.
A brave soldier who had been all through the
war, happening to pass that way testifies that
the room was as dark as Libby Prison and the
inmates just as dismal. All things being in
trim, the august president announces the ob
ject of the meeting. This seemed to be par
ticularly necessary as very few could see the.
necessity in holding another convention, as
the great majority in fact, nearly all the re
publicans here have made up their minds to
vote the whole regular ticket.
The nominations being made, in good order
they voted vise voce, which resulted in appoint
ing C. L. Addleman and Job Truax for the
borough, and S. T. Johnston and Wm. Burket
for the township. it seems that these dale.
gates were elected (?) by two or three voices
and weak ones at that.
A few days previous to this meeting Wm.
Wocds visited this place to establish a pro
gram (we suppose) for the guidance of his lit
tle infant meeting.

SENSIBLE —The efforts of a few crack
brained fanatics to have a definite recognition
of the Christian religion inserted in the con_
stitution of the United States are apposed by
all sensible men. No good Christian would
wish to disfranchise a neighbor who held to
some other form of belief, and a religion
which has so little vitality that its continu
ance depends upon State aid—says the Holli
daysburg Standard, and which we most heartily
approve—is a shame and a fraud. The Centre
Baptist Association, which held its session at
Bell's Mills last week, holds decided opinions
upon the matter, and adopted the following
incisive resolutions. They are eminently sen
sible and truthful :
WHEREAS, Systematic and persistent efforts
are being made to insert in the Constitution
of the United States a declaration of belief in
the existence of God.
Resolved, That, as Baplists, we are opposed
to any declaration of Christian doctrine on the
part of the State by makinn. ' it a part of the
organic law, or otherwise ; believing the testi
may of our Saviour who declares, "My
Kingdom is not of this world."
Resolved, That in onr judgment, no benefit
to religion itself, could possibly result from
such change if effected.
Resolved, That Christianity has ever .won
its noblest triumphs, while free from State
control and acknowledgment ; and that its
days of deepest gloom have been those while
living under the patronage of civil govern
ment.

TERRIBLE ACCILBENT.—OR Monday of
last week, as we learn from the Tyrone Demo_
era!, a nine year old son of Mr. J. S. Gondon,
of Tyrone, was run over and instantly killed
by a train of cars on the Clearfield branch,
under the following circumstances The boy
started for berries that morning. His father
is a brakeman ou one of the coal trains of th e
road, and it was arranged that he should take
the bucket of berries on the train in the eve
ning, leaving the boy to walk. At the ap
pointed time the boy was seen standing near
the track holding up his bucket. This the
father grasped, walking forward, when lie was
startled by hearing a cry from his boy. He
immediately jumped from the train and soon
discovered that his son was dead. Forty
heavily-laden cars had passed over the unfor
tunate lad, severing his bead from his body.
It is supposed that he attempted to jump on
the train and missed his footing. Within a
few months the Gondon family have lost four
children, three from scarlet fever, the last and
oldest by the horrid accident above detailed.

PETERSBURG [TEBE.—Pitching quoits
is the only amusement the loafing young mcn
of this town can find to do ; they do that with
a vengeance.
John A. Wilson has the foundation laid for
quite a large brick house which is to be built,
this fall, on the hill north of the M. E.Chnrch.
Kennedy Myton's pottery has got started at
last.
It would bo a blessing to Petersburg if its
old school houses would burn down; perhaps
the authorities would then deem it necessary
to build a good one ; the two that are now
standing are a disgrace to the town.
Some one is talking of starting a store in
R. Myton & Son's new house.
Three young ladies had a quarrel here last
week ; it was thought, by some, that they
would come to blows, but they contented
themselves with calling one another liars.
As I will write again for tltedornms.L, I will
close without further ceremony. HOWELL.

A NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY UP STONE
CIECEIC.-Afriend of ours, and of Stone Valley,
writes us
" , I am really glad to learn that the "Narrow
Guage System" has been started in Hunting
don county. I hope you may have a perfect
net-work of them. There is one place I would
like to see a Narrow Guage road, and that is
from Huntingdon up Stone Valley and across
the mountains into Centre county. I believe
a three foot road would pay there, and bare
often thought of writing to Senator Scott to
see if such a road could not be started."
We have no doubt but snch a road could be
made to pay, and under the management of a
gentleman whom we can name it would pay
handsomely. Won't somebody start the pro
ject ?
