it looks as if Wm. M. Loyd would at last be

Some person in the neighborhood of our
office has a voice that would bring them a

in proper tune it could be beard from the

The Louisianians were not greeted with a
full house last week. There are too many

The Conference News will begin its third
volume with the October number. It is the
organ of the Central Pennsylvania M. E. Con
ference, and is indispensable to all Methodist
households that desire to be kept informed in
their own church news. It is published

annum. Subscriptions received by any Meth
odist pastor.
The concerts given by Prof. Dounelle's class,
in Penn Street Hall, on Saturday and Monday
evenings, were highly enjoyable, and were at
tended by large and appreciative audiences.
The Professor deserves great credit for the
pains taken in drilling his youthful pupils,
and the manner in which they acquitted them
selves proves that he is an instructor of no
mean merit.
The Harrisburg Patriot : "Some three or
four attempts have been made recently to rob
Rev. J. C. Clarke, on Ridge avenue, corner
Boas street. The last burglar operated on the
Boas street side of the house, using a chisel
in chopping away a portion of the wood work
in a bungling way, around the lock on the
outside. It is most likely the thief or thieves
were frightened off."
We notice that a number of our exchanges
publish a large advertisement of W. W. Evans
& Co., of Chicago, beaded "Watches ! Jewelry
Our information is that this is a fraud. There
is no pay in it. It would be advisable for
newspapers never to accept advertisements,
from a distance, unless through some respon
sible agency. In nine cases out of ten where
they do there is trouble.
A son of our friend, Silas A. Creswell, esq.,
of Petersburg, met with a serious accident, on
Sunday last, near that village, whilst attempt
ing to board a passing freight train. He had
one leg crushed below the knee to such an
extent that amputation was necessary ; the
other leg was broken, and his head bruised
and cut. The yonrg man died on Tuesday.—
He was about 17 years of age.
On Tuesday evening Rev. Jacob Biels, of
Huntingdon, Pa., was robbed at Grafton, W.
Va., of about $7O in money, his ordination
papers and several valuable certificates. Rev.
Biels was on his way to the Pittsburgh Meth
odist Protestant conference now in session at
Fairmont, and the theft was committed while
the train was lying at Grafton.—Pittsburgh
Leader. There is evidently a mistake in the
above, as no Reverend Beils vegetates herea
ways.
We understand that a one-horse circus has
been doing the smaller towns in this county
for the part week, and that its managers have
made arrangements to pitch their tent in this
place some day in the near future. We were
flattering ourselves that this community would
escape the visit of one of these catch-penny
concerns this season, but it seems such will
not be. If our readers are wise, and don't
feel !lice being humbugged, they will stay at
home and save their money.
An Indian missionary has told a correspond
ent of the Somerset Herald how to preserve
green corn oa the cobs, as follows : "When
your cern is in good eating condition, pluck
the ears and remove all the husks but the last
layer next the corn, being careful not to ex
pose any of the grains. Then tie a string
tightly around this husk at the end where the
silk ; then take one-half gallon of clean
hickory ashes, put it and three or four gallons
of water in a deep vessel and, while it is boil
ing, dip the corn into it slowly eight or ten
times, holding by the string you have tied
around it. Hang away in a dark, dry place.
Whenever you want roasting ears you will
have them as fresh as when they came from
the stalk. The Indians preserve hundreds of
bushels in this way without a single failure."
On Saturday last we visited the St. Aloysius'
Academy. under the care of the Sisters of
Mercy, located at Loretto, Cambria county,
Pennsylvania, and found it most pleasantly
situated on an elevation over-looking a very
flue landscape, and surronuded by a splendid
lawn, dotted with evergreens end beautiful
shade trees. The building is a capacious one,
well designed, and capable of accommodating
about eighty pupils. We were shown through
the various departments and were highly
pleased with the neatness, extreme cleanliness
and order which reigned throughout. The
Lady Directoress and Lady Superior who re
ceived us were very cheerful and communi
cative and made our brief stay very pleasant.
We left in their charge all that will unite us
to the next generation, feeling fully satisfied
that our dear one will be perfectly safe in
their hands and that no pains will be spared
to thoroughly train her mind for the duties
of the future.
The run of the Pacific Express due here a t
7.30 o'clock A. at., on Saturday morning last
will long be remembered by the train men.—
At Philadelphia a very fine looking, able
bodied lady, aged about 28 or 30 years, took
passage for Pittsburgh. The train had not
sped far on its way until the lady gave evi
dence of suffering with parturition pains.—
There were a number of ladies on board but
to their shame be it said no one came to her
assistance. Telegrams were sent ahead for a
physician to Downingtown and other points
but none could be had. The baggage-master
came to her relief and acted as acconcheur,
physician, kc. A child was born before the
train reached Downingtown which only sur
vived a few hours. At Altoona the lady sat
up and took some refreshments and appeared
to be remarkably smart. She was the centre
of attraction all along the route. At Pitts
burgh she expected to meet her mother. Her
only company was a little girl two or three
years old.
A STUBBORN MULE.—Daring the wet
and disagreeable weather on Saturday morn
ing last the Captain of a canal boat, lying in
this port. concluded to shelter his mules, and
to do so he proceeded to put them into the
stable, a compartment to be found in Lhe front
part of every well regulated craft. One of
the mules walked the gang-plank like an old
sailor and was out of the drizzling rain in a
jiffy, but when his partner of the towing-path
was invited to enter, he refused, and set him
self upon his haunches, in which position he
"held the fort" for the space of an hour or
more, against all efforts of the boat's crew to
make him surrender. By this time quite a
large crowd of spectators had arrived at the
scene of conflict, and, as usual, nearly every
one had some suggestion to make as to the
best mode of making the mule comply with
the wishes of his master. Several plans were
tried, and amongst the rest the animal was
blindfolded by having a bag securely fastened
over his eyes, but this had only the effect of
making him more stubborn, if such a thing
were possible. Finally the patience of those
engaged in trying to get him in became ex
hausted, and they made up their minds that
that mule should be stabled if he had to be
put in in chunks. By this time some of the
spectators bad become interested in the con
test, and they went to the assistance of the
boatmen, and by the aid of a pole across his
haunches, and as many men as could con
veniently get around him, he was forced to
the plank, where he made a final stand, but
the pressure was too great, and he was pushed
up the gang-way,inch by inch, until he reached
the summit, when he slipped into his quarters
as sleek as grease, when he gave his tail a
switch or two and immediately commenced
eating his morning meal, looking as calm as
a midsummer morning, and apparently de
lighted at the amount of trouble and labor he
had caused those who were desirous for his
bodily comfort, and fully demonstrated the fact
that when
A mule will, he will,
And when he won't, he won't.
JOTTINGS FROM BRADY.—
J. G. Corbin and Rev. Kerlin are back from
the Lutheran Synod held at Somerset.
Mrs. Abram Speck, whose life was almost
despaired of a few days ago, is some better.
The funeral of Thomas Gates' child, about
one year old, took place on the 10th inst, at
the "old Baptist church."
The Brady agricultural fair is to be held at
Mill Creek, on Wednesday and Thursday of
the first week in October.
lienry Wolfkill is boring for coal on Jacob
Bite's farm, three miles from Mill Creek. A
glossy black elate stone, resembling coal in
color, only, is found in that vicinity. The
black slate has caused some over sanguine
people to spend a great deal of money for
nothing.
Our citizens are awake to the importance of
the prdent Labor movement. At a prelimi
nary meeting last Saturday night, an organi
zation was effected by the election of Mr. W.
S. Thompson as chairman, J. G. Corbin, Sec
retary and Mr. Joseph Cornelius, Treasurer.
About thirty persons became members by
subscribing to the Greenback Platform. Its
merits were freely discussed, pro and con, and
the result was an almost universal verdict in
its tavor. Thus the cause moves on.

"A GREENBACK ER.."—A few days since
one of our readers related the story of the
singular doings of a mouse. For some time
previous in his store room, certain mysterious
transactions were daily occurring, such as the
disappearance of sums of money from the
money drawer in the most unaccountable man
ner. Certain specified amounts of money
would be placed in the drawer, and notwith
standing the room might not be left, nor any one
else have access to the room or:tnoney drawer ,
Set in the course of a short time, on opening
the drawer, the money would have disappeared.
However in this case it was strictly a "green
backer," as silver not being "remonetized,"
would always be left undisturbed. This state
of affairs continued for some time, until an
examination into the top of the counter reveal
ed the mystery.. There in one corner was a
pile of the missing greenbacks—a small hat
full, made up of all denominations, from a ten
cent note to the ten dollar bill, all one mass of
mixed currency, but not much niultilated very
fortunately. Upon counting, it was found
that Mr. Mouse had appropriated sixty-eight
dollars for his winter's expenses. This active
little depredator would always watch his
chance, and whenever he would find any
greenbacks in the drawer, ho would apply
himself very industriously to get it to his
home.
During this process, the parties attending to
the business felt as if their employer could
not but suspect them of pilfering, for these
daily losses of sums of money could not be
stopped, neither could they be accounted for
until the discovery was made. The little
thief had no occasion fur a key to unlock the
drawer, as he made use of a back entrance for
his work.—Phiiipsturg Journal.
A NOTED HORSE THIEF.—The Belle
fonte IZepublvcan of last week, has this to say
of Stewart Walker, the most accomplished
horse thief in this or any other State : "Stew
art Walker managed to get up some sympathy
for liiinself on account of the long sentence ;
but when we come to consider that he is one
of the most cunning and desperate horse
thieves ever captured in this county, every
horse owner should rejoice that he has been
so effectually disposed of. He has a brother
in the Williamsport jail awaiting trial for
horse stealing. A cousin of his was convicted
in the Huntingdon court, last week, and sent
to the penitentiary for three years and a half.
The latter informed Deputy Sheriff Munson
that Stewart Walker had stolen a large num
ber of horses for which he had never been
arrested. Stewart, in bis plea to the court,
claimed that he was not personally responsi
ble for the theft but had confederates. He
admitted that he was one of a gang that
extended from this part of Pennsylvania to
Dayton, Ohio, who have stations and confed
erates in all the counties between the points
named ; that he has horses now boarding ready
to be moved at will. A proposition was made
to him that if he would expose the gang and
testify against them, his sentence would be
suspended, which he refused to do. The peo
ple can now judge for themselves whether ten
years is too much for such• an accomplished
thief."
BURSTING OF A THRESHING MACHINE.
—On Monday of last week, while Mr. Thomas
Fagley was threshing wheat for Mr. John Van_
scoyoc, of Antis.township, with a four-horse
power machine, he and his helpers were star
tled by an explosion. After threshing a
number of dozens, there appeared to he some
thing wrong with the machine, and it was
stopped. Some slight repairs were made,
when it was again started, but in a few
minutes it exploded with terrific force, redu
cing the machine to atoms. More than three
hundred pieces of the thresher were picked up
in different parts of the barn, while another
hundred were thrown out of the barn entirely.
The strangest part of the accident, and we
may say the most miraculous, was the escape
of the four men and five children who were
standing immediately around the machine,
and who were not in the least injured, though
the fragments were scattered Profusely about
them. Another machine was borrowed from
a neighboring farmer, and set to work the fol
lowing morning. It did not run long before
it was also wrecked. A spike from the wreck
of the previous day had lodged in a bundle of
wheat. which escaped unobserved while feed
ing into the borrowed machine, tearing out
the spikes and damaging the cylinder. These
mishaps will cose Mr. Fagley a good sum for
repairs.—Alloooa Tribune.
HOW TO IMPROVE.—Every one wants
to see better times and is squealing because
some one else does not make them better,
unmindful of the fact that all are interested
in that work, and no one should wait for the
other to strike out first. We must all help
and encourage each other, not lie crouched
down seeking whom we may devour—and
thereby cause all the harder times by the
scares arising therefrom. Remember that men
make times hard, but hard times dQ, not make
men. The longer we continue entertaining
thoughts about suing and breaking down men
who are in our debt, depend upon it, just so
long we may expect the times to remain bard,
and affairs to remain as they sow exist—with
out confidence. If you want to see better
times, begin to improve them yourself. Don't
wait for some one else to start first; roll up
your sleeves and strike the monster, panic, on
the head first. Your neighbor won't be be
hind if he sees you striving ; his neighbor will
no the outrivalled; the next neighbor will come
forth and the next still won't he behind ; so
all along the line will the revival extend until
there is a complete revolution all around.
Begin as though you were beginning over
again after a disastrous failure, with all the
determination of a 'fresh man," and then you
will soon see the result, and be happy.
On a recent visit to Philadelphia we made
a call at the well-known house of Strawbridge
Rt Clothier, at the nothwest corner Eighth and
Market streets, and obtained some information
which may be of some interest to our readers.
We were greatly surprised to learn that the
hard times, apparently, have not in the least
affected the business of this enterprising firm.
On the contrary, their annual sales have been
steadily growing larger and larger. For the
coming season, Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier
have made most extraordinary preparations
for an immense business. During the early
summer one of the firm visited Europe and
made arrangements for one of the most mag
nificent stocks of French dress textures and
Novelities ever exhibit d by- an American
house. It is the purpose of these gentlemen
that every lady in Philadelphia and within a
radius of a hundred miles shall visit their
establishment during the season. Judging by
the numerous attractions they have to offer,
we should say the difficulty will be not to get
the ladies there, but to keep them away. To
those, however, who cannot visit the city the
Order Department is a great convenience.
From this department samples are daily for
warded to all parts of the country, and even
to the most distant States and Territories, and
numerous and large crders carefully and sat
isfactorily filled.
Lack of space will not permit us to enlarge
further, but we advise all our readers to avail
themselves of the first opportunity to spend an
hour in inspecting the really wonderful display
of foreign Novelties and General Dry Goods
which are now to be seen at the establishment
of Strawbridge It Clothier.

PHILADELPHIA ADVERTISERS. The
following is clipped from the Carlisle Mirror :
705 Sanson street, 1
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 1, 1377.
Mg Dear Friehd :—Busiuess has heretofore pre
vented me from thanking you personally for the
interest you have manifested in the success of our
agency. The press of Central and Southern Penn
sylvania, and in fact all over the State, has been
so kind to us that it will take years to repay the
debt of gratitude which it has placed us under.
And then there are so many personal friends who
have taken a deep interest in 119, and who have
expressed their many kind wishes for our success
that we have been stimulated to make more than
the ordinary efforts to gratify them. All have our
thanks and the assurance that we have located
business in Philadelphia permanently and that for
us to resolve is to execute. Perhaps the sooner
this is understood the better. There is abundance
of room hero for such an agency as we have in our
minds, and which we propose to permanently es
tablish.
We know full well the difficulties under which
we labor in trying to rescue the agency business
from much of the odium arid unpopularity which
has been heaped upon it, but we can do it if the
press will stand by us. It all rests with the news
papers. If they will decide upon a liberal scale of
rates—not exorbitant rates for flush times, but liv
ing, reasonable rates, such as will make a proper
return to the judicious advertiser—and strictly
adhere to them there will be no trouble. Reduc
tions, outside of the usual commission, must he out
of the question nor can special contracts be toler
ated. They are the bane of the business. One
man's money should be as good as that of another.
The rates at the head of the paper should be no
tice to all the world. If all will follow this sug
gestion wo promise them that there is abundance
of advertisingfor all at reasonable prices, but if
they will not follow it, and permit advertising
agents to pay them any prices they may see fit
there never will be any advertising worth looking
after. This must be apparent. No honorable men
can afford to go into the field to oompete with par
ties who make their own prices and pay in old
boots or their equivalent. Ido not wish to place
myself in opposition to legitimate exchange of
products, but there has been so much trade offered
to our country press in payment of advertising that
has been anything but legitimate. It is the com
petition with this class of business that I complain
of, viz: allowing agents to make their own prices
and then paying in any kind of truck. This
should he broken up completely.
The business man who wants to advertise (anti
who does not?) is willing to pay a fair prioe and
the publisher ought to have it, and in the future it
will be his own fault if he does not get it. I would
suggest that every publisher, once a year, over
haul his schednle of rates and make them as rea
sonable as possible, because most of them are ex
travagantly high, so high that the advertiser can
not get s proper return, and then adhere to them.
The advertising agency business is in its infancy.
Much will have to be improved and systerr atised
that is now very crude. The agency is au abso
lute necessity to bring publisher and advertiser
together. It is as respectable as any other legiti
mate business. It should receive the ;-ommenda
tion and encouragement of both the publisher and
advertiser.
With many thousands of wishes for your indi
vidual welfare, and the welfare of the country
press generully,
I remain your friend,
J. R. DURBQRROW.

HON. HENDRICK B. WRIGHT ON THE
LABOR QUZOTION.—The following letter, ad
dressed by the above named gentleman to
John Dougherty, esq., of Mt. Union, has the
ring of the true philanthropist. We hope
our friends will give it a careful reading. It
should have appeared last week, but owing to
the absence of the editor, to whom it had been
personally addressed, it did not appear
WILKES BARRER, August 9, 1877,
Mr DRAR SIR :-I am in the receipt of your in
teresting letter of the 4th inst. You state the case
in strong language, and with startling truth.
They all say, "something must be done?" What
shall it be ? Famine is in the land,and want stares
tens of thousands full in the face. What then
shall be done ? Gods' great fields lie unoccupied ;
there are willing hands anxious to till them, and
hungry children ara crying for bread. How much
better is it for the government to aid her citizens
to occupy the vast domain, than to grant subsidies
by the hundred of millions to aid corporations !
Our penitentiaries, jails, alms-houses, and poor
houses are full; and outside of them groan the
starving thousands for food. Such is the fact, and
no sane man can deny it. These people must have
supplies. They cannot be permitted to starve.
They are willing to labor, but there is no employ
ment for them. _ .
The issue is not between capital and labor—it is
between life and death. And cold is the heart and
selfish the man that can contemplate the situation
with indifference. If any person can produce a
better plan than my Homestead Bill, I will leave
my scheme and embrace theirs. I am bound to
push upon Congress some measure of relief for suf
fering humanity, and I mean to expend allmy en
ergies for such an object. Ido not fear denuncia
tion. lam ready to meet abuse; I know that I
am on the side of humanity, and I intend to fight
in the cause I have marked out.
Youra very truly,
HENDRICK B. WRIGHT.

Relief Without a Doctor.
Though we would by no means be under
stood as deprecating, but rather as recom
mending, professional aid in disease, there are
multitudes of instances when it is neither
necessary or easy to obtain. A family pro
vided with a comprehensive household specific
like Liostetter's Stomach Bitters, is possessed
of a medicinal resource adequate to most
emergencies in which medical advice would be
otherwise needful, That sterling tonic and
corrective invariably remedies, and is author
itatively recommended for debility, indiges
tion, liver disorder, and irregular habit of
body, urinary and uterine troubles, incipient
rheumatism and gout, and many other ailments
of frequent occurrence. It eradicates and
prevents intermittent and remittent fevers,
relieves mental despondency, checks premature
decay, and invigorates the nervous and mus
cular tissues. Sleep, digestion and appetite
are promoted by it, and it is extremely useful
in overcoming the effects of exhaustion and
exposure. [septl4-lm.
