THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday Morning, Dec. 4. THE MESSAGE. —The late reception of this ■ document prevents us from giving more than about one half of it this week without delay- 1 in"- our paper, which we long since determin- ' ed to do for nobody. It is considerable of a political harangue, censuring the north for | voting for free soil, as though it was a heinous sin to do so. The document is not of much weight, and after being read will, like its au thor, bo laid aside with a feeling of regret that his inaugural and first message should be o inconsistent with bis last. jtiT Congress met on Monday. In the | House a debate sprung up on the admission ' I of Whitfield, delegate from Kansas, and a majority decided ho should not be sworn in. Il will be a fruitful theme of discord during : 1 the session. The message was sent in on Tuesdav. Hale, Trumbull, and others, ban * i died the assertions of Piercu as to the motives of the Republicans pretty severely.

OUTRAGE. — Most of our citizens Livt been fully aware for years that some of tho i.-ffscouring of creation were in our midst, but from a diabolical and venomous act per- j patrated on Mouday evening last at the fur nace, it wuuld almost seem that among them arc numbered those more deserving of being incarnate fiends than human beings. The furnace of Messrs. kitting A Uro., which had • been undergoing sundry repairs for some i months pa.-t, had been gut ready for firing on j the following day, and the hands employed ' (were in and around it until six o'clock on Monday evening. Shortly after they had \ left the malicious scoundrel who no doubt had planned the act and watched hie time, enter tiic building, fired tho stack, then opened the valves of the boilers and let out the water, evidently with the intention of causing an 1 explosion. Although tho Llaet pipes had not bc-ri put on the tiro obtained such headway .•n the stack before it was discovered as to prevent its being chocked, 'ibis would not : have been of inucli moment, but on sending for the engineers to start the engine, thev ! discovered the boilers 10 bo empty and red hot, ami one of them with a large crack in itl Had any water been lot into the boilers previous to this timely discovery, tho furnace . would probably have been blown to atoms, ' ami those in it either killed or maimed. I lie fire in the stack, cousidorcd alone, might i have been the result of accident, but when taken in connection with the discharge of' water from the boilers, enforces the convic- i tion that aii was the work of one who had no - scruples as to Ihe destruction of property and human life iu its most horrid and agonizing form. Whoever was the perpetrator of the vile act, it was well for him that he was not discovered at the time or in the act, for had he been that roaring fire in the stack would perhaps have rid the earth of one fiend and given tie bottomless pit an additional ono. As it is, no effort ought to be spared to ferret him out, for such a being is an injury to our citizens and their prosperity, un outrage on the name of inan, and at best an outcast of society; and if caught, let the law take its course, but if the law will not adequately pun ish such a misorea&t, a tree and a rope, the | waters of the Juniata, ox a cord of pitch pine could never be put to a better use than either j might be in such a case. flair Andrew Reed, Esq., will deliver alec- ' ture before the Apprentices' Literary Society i on Saturday evening next, commencing at U* o'clock. The public are respectfully invi ted to attend. ! THE POOR HOUSE. —The Directors of the i Poor have had an arduous time for several days in allotting tho Stewardship of the Poor House and the Poor llouso farm on the basis i invited by their proposals. After sifting tho I I merits and demerits of the several applicants in the way of qualification, Ac., they finally appointed JOSEPH I. LANGTON, Esq., of Gran- J . ville. Steward at a salary of SSOO per annum. Mr. L. wo think is well fitted for the post, and will probably prove as acceptable to the unfortunates who have to make their home there as any man who could be appointed, though we doubt whether ho will find it an I occupation to his liking. Use however does much towards reconciling unpleasant with public duties, and such may bo the case with him. The farm, on the shares, was given to Moses A. Sample, of Oliver township, who, I now that there is both public and private in ! terest combined in its eultivatien, will proba- I bly be made to yield what judicious farming generally produces, to wit, first rate crops.— We say this without any view of reflecting on those who have had the land in charge, but because it is an acknowledged truth that i mo6t men will do for themselves that which they will uot for tho public. GAS BILLS. —The Treasurer of the company ! is now making his first visit to the consumers , | of gn with the bills for October and Novem ber, by which they can see what light is like- j ly to cost. Some have perhaps burnt more ' freely than was needed—a splendid light be ing a strong temptation—but this will soon regulate itself. On tho whole the consumers are well satisfied, many of them already won dering how in the name of sense they have j ! been able to live thus far without gas ! The ' number of censumers the first month was 70, the second about 100, and by spring they i will probably increase to 150, which with i prudent management and no mishaps, ought to yield from S3OOO to S4OOO, an amount that 1 will afford a margin for a fair dividend. COMMISSIONER'S OFFICB.—Wm. Wilson, Esq. J I the newly elected commissioner, took his seat I RK the board during November court, in place i of J. Fleming, Esq., whose term had expired, j i The board now consists of Jacob Hoover, Esq., I'resident, Major J. Linthurst and Wil liam Wilson, Esq., with R. D. Smith as Sec retary and D. W. Woods, Esq., Attorney. JBtgrThe election and other exciting sub- i jects having in a measure passed awuv, two I or three fights occurred in West Market street i on Monday to wile away the time, in which both parties got some bruises and hard knocks. A bystander who aw the whole operation, says the peace officers prudently kept out of i the way, go that there was no disturbance of : I tho poace by an attempt to arrest the parties. flaSCThe weather continues very changea- ; bio, varying in a few hours from pleasant j sunshine to rain, cold winds, and freezing.— j There was a tremendous blow last night and j this morning, and we should not be surprised i to hear of much damage on both land and sea. For the Gazette. Mr. Editor—Permit me through your ex- i j ccllent paper to give a descriptiou of one of ! the most interesting scenes I have witnessed 1 | for some time, viz: the Exhibition of the Dry Valley M. E. Sabbath School held in their Church, which is a large and commodious building, situated on a considerable elevation, and surrounded by a beautiful and well ar- I ranged Cemetery, which gives it a neat and ; j tasteful appearance. In connection with this church is a large and flourishing Sunday , School, which I am informed is divided into threo departments, viz: Bible Class, Sunday School Proper, and Infant School. But to the Exhibition, which I fear 1 shall j fail to do justice, for it so far excelled rav cx | pectation that I think it cannot be surpassed by any town or country school I ever saw.— j ; On entering the church 1 was wonder struck at the taste displayed by the ladies in the or- < namcnting of the stage, which extended across too end of the Church. In front of the stage, j attached to the ceiling and extending to cith- ! or side of the church, hung a beautiful wreath j of evergreen, bespangled with flowers of al most every hue. In the rear and near the ceutre of the stage stood "Flora's Bower," j i , which consisted of a large collection of arti- j ficial flowers, gaid to be the work of Miss M. j E. Mitchell. On the wall hung a large col- ' lection of Scripture emblems, which were wont to adorn the Infant School room, and to [ j add to tho attractions of the place, Miss 11. i Alexander gave forth on the Melodeon, ac- I companied by her voice, enchanting music I , and song, until the school arrived, which en- , ; tered the church at 7 o'clock. The girls dressed in white, and the boys of the Infant \ \ school with their white pants, added much to t their appearance. After they had taken their j j places on the stage in regular order the school ' ' certainly presented a most beautiful appear- ' ance. The arrangement throughout was ex- I | cellent—the Addresses, Dialogues and Reci- ! tations by boys and girls, some not three feet ; ( high, were good arid well-timed—and last but j not least, the singing of the Infant Class was i enchanting. I witnessed it for two nights, I and thought myself well paid in pleasure for ; a ride of nine or ten miles. I understand j they intend having another on New Year's night, and I think it well worth a visit from every lover of Sabbath Schools. All praise j is due to the officers and teachers of that ex- ; cellent school. SPECTATOR. Daniel J. Neff, of Ilollidaysburg, con victed of manslaughter and sentenced to two ! years in the penitentiary, has been pardoned. ! ' Cleveland and Mahoning Railroad i is now in operation. The first regular mail train from Cleveland arrived in Warren on Wednegday last. , ' llolloway's Ointment and. J'ills are a certain ! ■ Cure for Scurvy.—Edward Hope, of Charles- j* i ton, South Carolina, suffered more than most i i people from the scurvy, and the whole of his f body was covered with this unsightly erup- j tion, he tried a great number of reputed rem edies, but he was not benefitted by tho same, i indeed, it became doubtful to his friends, ! ' whether he would ever overcome this disfig urement. At length ho tried llolloway's I Ointment and Pills, and these medicines ' quickly produced a beneficial change, by * ; continuing theso excellent medicines for eight < | weeks, he was radically cured. STO V ES—ECO NOMIS IN G HEAT. It is well known thafSiylindrical stoves give out the most heat, and have the best draft, but there are few who seem to know ; the reason why. They do not seem to be aware at least that there is anything in the principle of their construction which imparts to them such qualities. Stove I manufacturers cannot be accused of professing too much scientific knowledge regarding the best lorni of stoves, or we would not see so many blunders committed by them in casting so many with square and rectangular furnaces. This is especi ally the case with cooking ranges and stoves—their fire boxes arc constructed on wrong principles. 'l'iie reason why a cylinder stove gives out so much heat, and tends to produce such a good draft, is owing to the sides of its fire box or furnace being concave in form. Heat, like light, may lie concen trated by concave mirrors, hence the heat is more concentrated in stoves which have concave, than those which have square fire boxes. The rectanguhr lire box may be more convenient for cooking rang es, but there is no excuse for constructing , the furnace of any parlor or other heating stove of a square form. The lire bricks for lining stoves should be fluted. Bricks with plain surfaces are | not so durable as the fluted kind, because ! the latter lends to prevent the adhcrance of : clinker. Some bricks for stoves are aetn . ally cast with convex surfaces, as if de signed for scattering heat, thus exhibiting ignorance of the laws of heat. Bright metal surfaces do not radiate | heat so well as dark, duli surfaces, there -1 fore Russia iron in stoves and pipe does not radiate so much heat into a room as common iron. Those surfaces which ra diate heat most efficiently also possess the power of absorbing it, and vice versa. As the intensity of heat varies inversely as the square of the distance from the ra diant point, it is evident that the nearer the stove is placed to the centre oi the ' room, or sprme which it is designed to heat, the more uniform will be the temperature ol the whole space, and not only so, but a greater amount of heat will be economiz ed. | Stove manufacturers have devoted an immense amount of attention to elaborate the surfaces of cast-iron stoves, and to pro duce an incalculable amount of complicat ed forms, but not much to produce stoves based upon he philosophy of the laws of j heat. We hope that more attention, sci entifically, will hereafter be devoted to this great and important branch of American in a ntjfac t ures.— Scientific Amcrican. SOAPSUDS. Iu days that once were, the soapsuds went to the gutter as regular as the wash- ! iiig day was ended, and there are too many who allow the plan to be followed in the present day. All do not yet seem to have learned that a tublul of strong soapsuds is worth as much as a wheel barrow load of good manure; and yet how much is thrown away. No wonder that : the grounds about kitchens and farm-house grow rich in so short a time. Now every bucket of suds should be thrown whore it will not be lost. The | garden is a good and convenient place to 1 1 dispose of it, but the roots of grape vines, young trees, or anything of this sort vvili , do as well. Anything that requires a strong, moist soil, needs soapsuds. How many a good crop of vegetables or fruit might be realized, if ever} body would act ! on the iiints here given.— lndiana Far. I ni er. MARVELLOUS CURES. —We have always been 6low to believe the wonderful cures which one medicine after another pretends to have made, —but slow as we are we will own up, when we are fully convinced.

For those who are not cognizant of the j facts, wo will say: she had been afflicted for ; over eight years with scrofula which only 1 J grew worse in epito of all tho remedies she j , could employ, until she took Ayer's Pills.— ! Under their influence ono after another of her ! sores have healed, until she is apparently as ' . free from the pom plaint as ourselves, lie has ' had liver complaint with pain in his side that 1 disabled him from work for a long time; all | other medicines had failed to afford liiiu any permanent relief, but a few doses of Ayer's Pills cured him and he is now steadily at his J old post, of conductor on the cars.— Middle- : town ])aily Courier. j , THE MARKETS.
