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.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
PI A Rot IC AI. 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.

■ 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

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. Those of our : (
readers who arc acquainted with the cases of ,
Mrs. Beach and Mr. Farwell, will not think I
us lightly turned, when we confess our belief I j

facts, wo will say: she had been afflicted for ;
over eight years with scrofula which only 1 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- :

tured under his immediate superintendence bv
competent and faithful workmen, or should a fit

got at short notice, aii of which ate warranted
to be equal, if not superior, to any sold either
in Lewistown or any other place in or out of
this State. There is no gammon about this, no
idle boasting, as the people can iearn for them
selves by making the inquiry and trial.
For the Ornish he has constantly on hand, or
will anake to orJer, hats to tbeir taste of any
required size or brim, at prices that cannot fail
to be satisfactory.
Country Merchants will fiud it to their ad
vantage to give me a call, as a liberal deduction
will be made on wholesale purchases, and es
pecially so to punctual men.
Thankful for the liberal patronagp heretofore
received, his study will be to please all who
may favor him with their custom in future,
and trusts that as the times are hard, eatables
high, and other things in proportion, the mass
will act as much as poisible' on the cash system
or at least on the saying thatshort credits
make long friends." feb22
