jEE G- A Z E T T E. LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE STORM OF LAST WEDNESDAY — \),ath by Drowning. —We briefly mention ed last week that on Wednesday night the Yn caiuc down in torrents and that a j voung man named Adam McCurdy, son of : |j lC widow McCurdy, deceased, who former- ' ] V resided at the first gate on the Kishaco- j illas turnpike, had lost his life on a fish i' Act below Jacob's mill by the rapid rise i r that creek. The circumstances attend- j his death were of the most harrowing | he having held on to the basket for j [ffo long hours, which must have been years ! t , him on the brink of eternity, during all ' which time the turbid waters were gradu allv rising higher and higher, until at last, i c , n scious that his mortal career on earth < ffa s closing, he said, "Good by —I can hold | on no longer," and was swept into eternity. | The young man who had been witli him j succeeded in reaehiug the shore when the | water first rose and gave the alarm. Sev-1 C ral neighbors were soon gathered on the ; shore and various ineffectual efforts made to rescue him —among them an attempt to | swim a horse, throwing ropes, Ac., but the ! onlv method that could have saved him was unhappily not thought of, namely, car rying a rope across the bridge, and with 1 persons on each side of the stream moving upwards until it would have come in con tact with his body. The creek and dams were searched in all directions for his body I during Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but with the exception of his over- ! coat, which was hooked up on Sunday, no trace of him was discovered until Tuesday morning, when Jonathan Barroll, a colored man residing at the head of the Narrows, saw a body floating in the river below the mouth of Jack's creek, which proved to be that of young McCurdy. It was brought to town and interred by his friends, lie was about IS years of age, and esteemed as a quiet, kindly-disposed boy. The culvert ereeted last year from Third ,-treet to the Huntingdon road bridge, was considerably injured by the great body of water which came down the run and over the streets, and numerous fields sown in grain were badly washed, wagon loads of soil having been swept off in some cases. The old stone mill also cauic in for a share of the flood, a portion of the southern side having fallen. Several bridges on Jack's creek and other streams were also injured. The river rose but a few feet, showing that the heavy outpouring was confined to a narrow space.

Two or three priests are in attendance, and meetings have been held in the church every even ing for several days, which were well atten ded by outsiders who have some curiosity to know what " Mother Church" has to say in support of her creed. This denom ination has never obtained much foothold in this county, and the services are there fore new to many. oL.Judge Stine lately fell from the loft of his barn, breaking his arm and a few ribs, and W. P. Robison was thrown from a vehicle by his horse taking fright, break ing one of his legs. Both are now doing well. T KACHF.RS' INSTITUTE. —The Teacher's Institute at McVeytown was opened on -Monday, Sept. 20th, as was previously an nounced. The teachers assembled at 2 \ o clock, p. m. 'J'he meeting was opened with prayer, after which A. D. Ilawn de- | livered an address to the teachers on the j importance of improving their time, and urging the necessity of promptness and regularity on their part, to insure good re sults from the Institute. S. Z. fclharp af terwards gave an interesting lecture on the { principles of penmanship. Prof. F. A. Allen was then introduced, and entertained | the members of the Institute with a few I interesting remarks on the pleasure of ! meeting his fellow-teachers on the present j occasion, after which the meeting adjourn led to meet at 71 o'clock, in the Presbyte | rian church, where they were again enter tained by the same gentleman with a lcc ! ture on the early and present conditions of , our public schools. Tuesday forenoon was occupied with practical illustrations of grammar and arithmetic. The afternoon j session was spent in instructions on geog raphy, composition and reading, and a lec ture on school government by Prof. Allen. | About seventy teachers are in attendance, | and a lively interest is taken In all the ex- I ercises by both teachers and citizens, in j the evening the audience was favored with an appropriate address by Geo. AY. Elder, | Esq., of Lewistown. At each calling of | the roll, the teachers responded with ap ; propriate sentiments, which greatly enliven ed the exercises. B*s^,At a Teachers' and Scholars' Prayer i Meeting of the Lutheran Sabbath School, j on Sept. 20th, 1808, the following prcani j ble and resolutions were adopted : WHEUEAS, In the Providence of God it has I been the lot of AD.\.U G.

But as it has pleas { ed God in his all-wise providence to remove \ him from this world of sorrow at an early i age, we must submit with humbleness to his j inscrutable will, hoping our loss is his eter nal gain. ! Resolced , That we tender our sincere sym ! pathies to his remaining sisters and friends, and trust though they mourn, it is not as j those who have no hope.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN SOCxSIITCr STOVES i Consumption of Smoke &Gas & Sating of Fuel! rpHE subscriber takes pleasure in offering to A bis customers a new Patented Gas-burning (JookingStove,undoubtedly the beststovc made. It is well known that all inflammable matter requires a certain amount of air to support com bustion, and if the supply is insufficient it is impossible to produce a flame. The heat of the fire, in orflinary cooking stoves, decomposes the fuel, and as all the fresh air is admitted un der the grate, its oxygen is exhausted before it has passed through the fire chamber. The close flues at the top of the stove then act as an ex tinguisher, tending to put out the fire instead of assisting the combustion. A large portion of the fuel, therefore, passes oIF in the shape of smoke, clogging up the flues of the stove so as to impede the draft and interfere with the ba king,—or of invisible gas which combines with the lime and so destroys the mortar of the chimneys, loosening the bricks, and exposing the dwellings to the danger of fire. The introduction of an additional supply of cold air would cool the gas below the igniting temperature, but by the proper application above the fire of air previously heated to a tem perature of several hundred degrees (which is one of the prominent features of the patent) the gases are inflamed in numerous jets, and their combustion is sufficient to heat the oven, even if the draft through the fire chamber is entirely closed. In addition to the ordinary di rect draft under the grate and through the fire chamber, the gas-burner has an additional draft through the top plates, which is of itself suffi cient to maintain combustion. The upper draft not only consumes the gases, but it helps to strengthen and preserve the centre pieces which are most exposed to the direct action of the fire, and which are made double instead of the usual single plates. By means of this draft alone, all the operations of cooking can becar j ried on when the fuel is but partially ignited, i and the fuel consequently burns more slowly land more economically. A sufficient evidence | of the effect of the gases in heating the oven is ' found in the fact that the oven will be ready for baking even before the fire is thoroughly kindled, and much sooner than in any other. There is scarcely a doubt that before long i the Gas-burning Cooking Stoves will supercede i all others. The operation is so perfect and its | consumption of fuel so small in comparison j with other cooking stoves, and its heat so easily ; regulated, (burning more or less as desired,) i that every one who uses one of these stoves will i have nothing else.

S.V.N FORD, Compounded entirely from GIIIS, IS one of the best Purgative and Liver Medicines now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier, mild )er, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting Su?t on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, turn on the stom ach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplish ing two'purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienc il in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens at the same time that it purges it, and when taken daily in no d> late doses will strength en and build il up with itiiusDnSMpiditv. T lie Liver is one of the [principal regulators of ilie human botfy ; and when ; it perforins its functions well the powersol'thesys- .Item are fully developed. Theslomuch is almost en- //- tirely dependent on the healthy actainofthel.tver , for the proper perform ance of its functions ; j when the stomach is at fault the bowels are at J 'fault, and the w hole sys tem suffers in ronfe-i i|tienee of one < rgan—the LlVKß— having ceased to do its duty. For the dis eases of that organ, one fl lof ?he proprietors Aas ina-h- rt his study, in a ~"* practice of more than 20 years, to find some reme- dy wherewith to counter act the many derange-1 meats to which it is liable To prove that this rem jedy is at last found, nny person troubled with Liv- R 1 ; I:R COH.FLAINT in any of its forms, has but to try a j jbottle and conviction is certain. These Gums re-1 - i move all morbid or bad matler from the system.

Only one dose immediate- jly relieves CHOLIC, wliife one dose often repeated is' a sure cure for CHOLERA MORBCS, and a preventive of CHOLERA E>Only out bottle is needed to throw out of the system the effects of medicine after a long sickness. One bottle taken for JAUNDICE removes all sallovvness or unnatural color from the skin. One uose taken a short time befote eating gives vigor to the appetite and makes food digest well Une dose often repealed cures CHRONIC DIARRHEA in its worst forms, and Summer and Bowel Complaints yield almost to the first dose. One or two doses cures attacks caused by Worms in Children ; there is no surer, safer or speed ier remedy in the world, as it NEVER fails. A few bottles cures DROPSY, by exciting the absorbents. W'e take pleasure in recommending this medicine as a preventive for FEVER AND AOCE, CHILL FEVER, and all Fevers of a > Bilious Type. It operates with certainty, and thousand? are willing to testify to its wonderful virtues. All who use it are giving iheir unanimous testimony in its favor. tt>Mix water in the nionlh with the Invigorator, and swallow both together. THE I.IVER INVIGORATOR is a scientific Medical Discovery, and is daily working cures almost too great to believe. It cures as if by magic, even the nrsl dose giv iug benefit, and seldom tuore than one bottle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice to a common Headache, ali of which are the result of a Diseased Liver.
