THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, l'A. Thursday, March 19, 1857. TO OUU PATRONS. We have this year, tn addition to our regular expenses, to meet nearly SODO on the Ist of April, anil we trust there- . fore that our patrons who have heretofore so liberally res- j ponded to this annual call, will do so a;,alt). Ttie past few years. with their high prices, have been trying ones to us, j for while everything else has gone up our terms for the , paper and prices, of job work are the same as when we j rould purchase ilour at $4.50 and $6.00 per barrel, butter at 12*4 cents per pound, and many othcrtlilngsin proportion; yet with all this, such notices as " We want money," " We MrsT have money," &c., are never found in the columns of the Gazette unless it be at this season. Bids is not because we do not need it, (for to tell the tnith we have been a bor rower in 1356,) but because these constant "duns" are cold- , !y looked upon by the public, and >vMoin produce any good. ' There is one class to whom we have a special word to say. They are few In number, but totally regardless wheth er they pay or not. The day has arrived when we MIST dispense with seen "patronage," and we bore give them notice that we shall take an early occasion to -Tike their names off the hooks. I \ large number of - :!• rij/i a.- I.i the Western States, Ae. will expire during the months of February, March and ; April, and as tlies - arc discontinued nt the expiration of ; the time paid for, (except in a few special cases,) those wishing the paper continued will ptensc remit a gold dol lar, wapped in a piece of paper and enclosed In a letter.— | No western small notes will be taken in payment. Notices of New Advertisements. The boohs of W. I*. Milliken have been ' placed in the hands of D. W. Woods, Esq., 1 for collection. The Franklin Fire Insurance Company, for which It. J. Walters, Esq., is agent, is noted j for its prompt liquidation of losses by lire. ! Two Gift R )ok sales arc on the carpet, giv- j ing purchasers double chances. Some additions have been made to the ap- 1 piicants for Itemise and eating houses. An advertisement of Milnwood Academy, under charge of Win. If. Woods, A. M., for- | mcrly of this place, will be found on the i next page. This institution i.s in a retired j situation, hut easy of access, aud from the known ability of Vr. as a teacher, pre- ! gents strung inducements to parents and oth- I •T8 id place young gentlemen under his ; charge. Pennsylvania Legislature. In tite House, a further supplement to an act for the incorporation of the Lewistown ' Bridge Company, and for other purposes, was passed finally. Mr. I'uroell introduced a bill to authorize the sale of certain property of the Union Bridge Company. Also, ;i bill to attach certain premises own- j ml by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to ' the Newton Hamilton school district. The Bellefonte Democrat says:—" The Bvllefonte and Snowslioe Railroad has he- i come a fixed fact. The company is composed of several capitalists—men of enterprise and energy. It is the intention of the Company to commence operations as soon as the Spring opens. They have already purchased the property of Messrs. Wm. W. and A. llays, at 84,500 for a depot. This is the road that is proposed to lie ex tended to Lewistown, a survey for which we understand will shortly be made. The route is said to be favorable, asebnding at an easy I grade from Bellefonte to the head waters of Logan branch, which rises but a short dis- j tanee from the head waters of Laurel run on this side, and thence to Lewistown. C'onsid- i erable interest is felt along the line, and if a ; bold push is made on both sides of the moun tains, much might be effected hitherto un dreamed of. Methodist Conference. —The main features of the division made by the Baltimore Con ference are as follows, a few stations and cir cuits having been changed from one side to the other. ! Resolved, By the Baltimore Annual Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Conference assembled, That this Conference be divided by Districts, and that the Balti more Conference proper be composed of the Baltimore, Potomac, Lewisburg, Roanoke, Rockingham aud "Winchester District-; and that the Baltimore East Conference bo com post d of the North Baltimore, Frederick, Cumberland, Bellefonte, Northumberland and the Carlisle Districts." l he epidemic at IV ashington, or, the mysterious sickness which attacked everybody who put up at tlie National hotel, just previ- • ous to the inauguration, and the cause of' which has been traced to the water taken from the cistern of the house, into which a number of rats, who had partaken of arsenic bad plunged, is of a more serious character than is generally supposed. Mr. Lenox, of Ohio, died last week from its effect, and we s"0 by the New York papers that the wife of Mr. .lay L. Adams, who stopped at the on her way home from Savannah has also died from the sickness contracted there, \ j-oy.i ni.rrir.n examination of Mis. Adams re- * vented the fact "that the stomach had been partially eaten away; the bowels manifested symptoms of violent inflammation; the lungs were congested, and the kidnevs severely af fected." These appearances" indicate the presence and action of arsenic in the stomach. Mr. O. B. Matteson, member of Congress, is suffering severely. Many other persons in New York, Newark and in Philadelphia, be st .es the 1 resident himself, are much enfeebled n the attacks of diarrho a, having their ori gin, as is .-opposed, in the poisoned water ' which they drank. £t£V*Tbe February receipts cf the Penn sylvania Kail road are very large, as will be seen by the following statement: Receipts for month ending Feb. 28, §413,779 34 Same mouth last year, 298*442 1G Increase, §115,337 18 From Jan. 1 to March 1, 1857, 667,659 77 Same period last year, 596,551 49 Increase, §71,103 28 gist?" i he Hon. D. J . Disney, formerly mem ber of Congress from Ohio, died at Dextcr's Hotel, Washington, on the 14th. I ftsfSenator V\ ilkins of Allegheny, an old I democrat, in a speech the other day at Ilar risburg, defined opposition to banks to be the J "fanaticism of democracy." j LOCAL AFFAIRS. FREE LECTURE. The absurdity of Univeraalism will be shown at the Town Hall, on Sabbath after- ' noon, at three o'clock. The public are invi- 1 ted to attend. S. LEWIS. Spring Exhibition of Mattawana School, under charge of that excellent teach- , or, A. D. Ilawn, will be held at McYeytowu on Wednesday evening next, 25th instant.— The public are invited to attend. B§*Y-The weather has been springlike du- i ring the past week, with occasional showers, and last night a heavy rain which carried off < most of the snow in the mountains. | LECTURE. —-11. J. Walters, Esq., of this place, delivered a learned and happily con ceived lecture before the Mattawana Literary | Association of McYeytown, on Monday even lust, on "The consideration due to the Me- , chanic Arts." ! ! MORE BOOKS'. —If the public will not bo well supplied with books, ifc will hardly be j ; the fault of those who have them for sale.— | I Last week Messrs. Evans & Co. announced their intention of coining with their gift book i . ... ( sale, and since then 11. W. Junkin, who is always getting up something new, has put out bills for a Gift Book Sale on a liberal | scale, by which a gift worth from 25 cents to 840 will be delivered with each'book. The prices of the books range from 81 up. Those | curious in such matters, and who have the ! bump of acquisition largely developed, are referred to the circulars fur further informa tion. MUII.VAINK'S EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY. —'l itis able work on the evidences of the Christum faith is one of unusual power, and deserves a place in every library and in every family. The train of reasoning pursued by | the author is one calculated to make a deep j and salutary impression on the mind of any j candid investigator, being free from that un- j I due warmth which characterises too many ; : works of this kind. Tho work is highly j 1 commended by all the leading Protestant : ministers of Philadelphia, Lancaster, and Hrrrisburg, and endorsed by Rev. Jas. S. 1 Woods, D. lb, Itev. \\ m. V. Bowers, and Rev. j C. M. Blink. A benevolent desire to place the book in the hands of every reader, has i i > - induced the appointment of an agent, who ; will call on our citizens and furnish it at a ; low price. Fifty cents cannot bo better spent ! ' than in its purchase by beads of families, young men, and young ladies. TERRA-CULTURE. —Professor Comstock of! ( New York lias been creating considerable ex citement for some years among the farmers i • of Ohio and other states by introducing a new j , and said to be certain method of raising crops, Ac., which he calls Terra Culture. What it consists of is not known, as it is imparted as i 1 a secret, but if the concurrent testimony of j several hundreds be worth anything, the - j value to fanners is incalculable. From am- ' ; ong a largo number of certificates we have j seen, we select the following tit random: GROVEI'ORT, Ohio, July 18, 1850. i To Cultivators: —The best crop of wheat . j that 1 over harvested ( which was two years ; ago), was nearest Terra-Cultured, to which j j fact, T now attribute its superiority. I esti- i | mate Prof. Comstock's system of culture for j ; all crops and plants, far above the hap-hazard ' methods of culture which I have always seen ; practiced previous to May 20, 1850. A know- j ledge of Terra-culture must materially in- 1 crease the profits of every farmer too much . to be believed bv the incredulous. W. K. BISHOP. ; A class of fifty at $2 each has been f„ linr .j : t ?P. Purry and the adjtA.mg tow-ships, and ; we barn that a paper is up at Judge Ititz's, in this place, for forming another. Professor Comstock will probably be here in April to instruct theui and such others as may be ! formed. I . . j I MON MEETING.—A meeting was held in the Town Hall on Monday evening for the | purpose of appointing a delegate to the Uui on State Convention, which is to assemble at i 1 Harrisburg on tho 725 th inst. Col. Win. BUT- j ' LKR was appoined President, gtnd Col.

Resolved, That the delegate shall have pow er to appoint a substitute in case lie is unable ' i to attend. Resolved, That this meeting approve of the general csursc of Messrs. Sellers and Pur cell, of the Senate and House of Representa tives from this district. COUGHS AND COLDS. —The following remedy ' for coughs and colds is easily prepared, and is invaluable:—-Boil an ounce of hoarhound herb in three half pints of water down to a pint: strain it while hot, and add one pint of syrup molasses and simmer slowly to three j half pints, to which add—when strained—one < ounce of liquorice, (host Calabria.) Stir ( frequently until it becomes cold, and then j add half an ounce of antiinonial wine aud t one ounce of paregoric. The liquorice should I be pulverized before it is used. Dose for an < adult—a dessert spoouful three times a day. j * it is reported that Col. Geary lias re- 1 signed his post as Governor of Kansas. 1 JtesTAVe are indebted to Samuel Hopper, * formerly of this place, for a number of Cali fornia papers. n C@,A largo number of publie meetings in d Lawrence county are giving the county su- ft periptendency particular fits. ; o For th ej.ewistown Gazette. \ HINTS TO THE WOULD-BE-" SHARP ERS." Mr. Editor:—Some time since, the viMage of Milroy was startled by the appearance of | a scurrilous sheet called "'llie Milroy Obser ver," published by the would-be-"Sharpers," in which many of the most respectable citi zens of the place were ridiculed and slander ed, most of whom, they well knew, would not deign to answer their blackguardism: and. ! after having foully slandered those who wculd tako no notice of theru, they, in order that they might the better guard themselves from retaliation, stooped to wreak out their spite on unsuspecting children, and sated their depraved natures by attacking those who have po other means of defence except their ten der age, which has always been deemed a sufficient protection by even the meanest wretch under human form. Now, sir, wo have always claimed that it is a right due to all authors to reap the hon ors merited by their productions however dis creditable, and this is oue motive which has induced us to review the aforementioned sheut. Many might suppose we have taken this way to avenge ourselves of some iusult aimed at us through its filthy columns; but such is not the case, except that we may feel ourselves ashamed as members of a commu nity in which such moral iucubi are suffered tij remain at large, especially since our coun ty has been at considerable expense to furnish such characters with a suitable abode. But we also "are determined to spare none but to do justice to all." And we are sorry indeed that our duty to others will not permit us to allow the would-bc-"sharpers" to enjoy the paltry honors of their miserable and abortive attempt at publishing. But luckily happen ing to see the original, we are forced to tear from their brows tho usurped laurels with which they have so tjloriously decked them selves, and to assign them their merited place in tho scale of literary and moral attainments. At a College not a thousand miles distant, thero was printed not many years ago a little sheet called "The Crape Shot," playing off some squibs and si}' jukes upon the students, but intended merely for a local circulation, whore the jukes were understood and would apply, and where by general consent it was only considered a pastime; as its editorial, which in part appears in "The Observer" plainly shows, saying that its foolish articles were merely intended for jokes. Now, in the circumstances under which the original appeared, this excuse might have beeD con sidered valid; but it canaot apply to tho would-be-"Sbarpers." Ami in their whole sale plagiarism their extreme stupidity would not allow them to sec this—for it is a mean, contemptible wholesale plagiarism from "The drape Shot," except the low vulgarities which the original authors would have blushed to have seen in their paper, and a few perverted notices to correspondents from tho New York Lodger; and such was their unparalleled stu pidity and greenness that they had not even the intelligence and good sense to alter or leave cut some cull ego phrases and words of only local application, which cannot possibly apply under the altered circumstances. True, they did indeed alter and curtail a few para graphs which, for s mie reason or other, did not appear to suit; for instance:—Mr. "The Haydn of America. He has rendered i himself famous by a recent musical produc -1 tion in the Pioneer," which in the original has this addition:—"which we, without exag -1 gcration, think is fully equal to that melodi ous piece—'The Miller's Big Hog.' " They claim to be "sharpers." Sharpers indeed! when their ignoraueo is so glaring! when they even the common sense to write scarcely a single original line! "with just enough of Icarningto misquote." Again, they ape tlie scholar; Heaven forbid! But any person reading their sheet cannot but be amused at their ludicrous attempts to quote Latin and to use epithets, the meaning of which it is evident from the connection that they had not the slightest idea. Had the would-be-" sharpers" remained contented in their own sphere, which, judg ing from the very small original part of their ! sheet, must be among the ?ery scum of soci ety, it would have been infinitely xv>-- . then' credit, and perhaps the*" /V* .' ; ? shl " h . shedium through the plea of your verdancy.— ' ' Contempt and pity through life—and after vour glorious courses are run, memones loathed and scorned —-are all that will remain to crown your " noble exertions." Although indeed we do not approve of- the original, we can hardly express our condem nation of these base copyists. The circum stances may have been such as to render the printing of the original comparatively harm less aiul inoffensive, which cannot be plead in the latter case. It is not the harmless sa tire or playful jokes of the humorist that wounds the feelings of tho community, " But the sinister application Of the malicious, ignorant and hose I Interpreter , who will distort and strain The gen'ral scope and purpose of an author 1 To his particular and private spleen." REVIEWER. Milroy, March 11, 1857. ffg"*A collision occurred last week at the I Allegheny tunnel on the Pennsylvania Ilail ! road, betweon a freight and emigrant train, j by which two or three were killed and a num ber wounded. Among the killed was Louisa Shaeffer, a native of Germany, and Matthew ' Wilkins, one of the wounded, has since died. WIA I-E I 'K AUi)S. A Fugitive from Justice. —An extensive and most audacious scheme for counterfeiting two ! popular medicinal preparations has recently | been brought to light in this city. A few of the leading facts have appeared in reports of the legal proceedings growing out of the affair, but its comprehensive character has been but imperfectly developed in these brief statements. It would seem that the principal person impli cated in this transaction is a drug broker named WILLIAM LEITH, lately doing business at 8 Gold street and 5 William street, in this city, and residing at 4 Union street, Brooklyn, lie had j conceived the idea of establishing a factory for J the purpose of counterfeiting, on a wholesale scale, the most popular and widely advertised medicines in the civilized world, viz: HOLLO WAY'S PILLS and HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT. This | audacious project he intended to carry out in the city of New York, almost within hail, as it were, of the great central office for the sale of Holloway's medicines in this country! He had it appears, ordered no less than 500,000 copies of the pamphlet or book of directions, around each box, and the printer to whom the order j was given, supposing it to emanate from Pro fessor Holloway, had no hesitation in executing the work. An accident led to the detection of the fraud. Leith failed to meet an obligation he had given for a portion of the job, and the printer went to Professor Holloway's establish ment, 80 Maiden Lane, to inquire the cause.— Then, of course, the fraud was disclosed, and it was found, on comparing the counterfeit wrappers with the original, that the former i were perfect fac similes of the latter, with tiie j exception of the water-mark. This water-mark consists of the words " Holloway, New York and London," and is visible upon every leaf of the authentic pamphlet when held against the light. In all other respects there was a perfect identity between the false document and the true. Wiliiam Leith, the author of this atro cious forgery, was subsequently arrested, and fully charged, on examination before the com mitting magistrate, with procuring the printin" and uttering of the above counterfeits, out through an indiscretion on the part of the ma gistrate, he managed to escape ffom the custo dy ol the officers, *ai,d is now a fugitive from justice. Proles,>r Holloway's agents are on the qui rice to discover his whereabouts, but so i lar iie has eluded their vigilance. He is a : Scotchman by biith, and still preserves a little jot the accent; his voice is deep, his articulation : emphatic, and in speaking lie gesticulates a ! good deal, and interlards his sentences with frequent oaths. Ilis height is about 5 feet e.j j inches, his person rather stout, complexion florid, light hair and thin whiskers, and his age ! about 35 years. His aridres- is good and btisi ; ness-iike. As it is not known to what extent he may have counterfeited the medicines, it would be well lor druggists in the interior to beware of purchasing articles purporting to be ! Holloway's remedies from irresponsible parties. ; I here is one test of genuineness which ** ; however be relied upon, viz: the w • * J,a y> : the leaves of the book ac ..uier-maik on • Vloping each bo- " , -~"'pay> n g and en- Oii tmcnt. " - ar,< * P ot ie j the ,r ' v 'ien 'he leaf is held between - and the light, the words " Hollowav, ( ' New \ ork and London," are discernible m semi-transparent letters, iri the substance of the paper, then tiie pamphlets and the medicines they envelope are genuine; if not they are per nicious counterfeits.

A Dry Swamp. —lnteresting intelligence has just been received from the State survey of the Okefenokee Swamp, which covers nearly a fourth of the map of Georgia. The groat swamn does not appear to he a swamp after all. So far from heing impeded by wa i tor, the expedition suffered severely from want of it, and were compelled to sink throe wells for drinking and cooking purposes. — j The underwood, also was found ot almost fabulous thickness, through which they were ■ compelled to cut their way with knives, whereby they were so much delayed as to be j I in daugor of starvation, their supplies being exhausted. The most erroneous opinions have been entertained of the extent and na ture of the whole region. No published map gives any idea of its geography. The survey will prove a fortunate venture. The submer ged portion is found to be easily drained, whereby thousands of acres of the most val uable cotton lands in the South will be re claimed.
