Notice of election for officers of the Water Company. State Legislation. There arc several radical evils in our State Laws which v.c hope will receive some attention at the hands of our legisla tors. Common Sense supposes that men are elected to the Senate and House of Representatives for the purpose of enact ing new laws bcnclicial to the people or amending those in force where they do not answer the intended view; hut to judge from the general tenor of legislative pro ceedings hitherto we fear Common Sense has had h it little to do with the modus operandi of enacting a good law, for in most eases where one ot that kind lias been passed it w=>.= ir ire the result of accident than Icsigu. U liether the present legisla ture has good material enough to carry through measures of general interest, we cannot say; but it is to be hoped that nig gers, mulatoes, batiks, and monopolies gen erally will be ignored so far at least as not to engage the attention of our sages during the whole session. Among the subjects worthy of attention are— -Ist. ihe institution of Justices' courts to try and dispose of the minor offences which now take up so much time in our county courts and entail heavy expenses on the taxpayers in the shape of costs. 2d. ihe time for making assessments of real and personal property ought to be changed to April or May. At present this work is done in December, and before tbe duplicate is in process of collection hun dreds have removed to other districts, or left the State. 3d. d lie license laws, as at present con stituted, are a mere mockery. One clause will make a man pay a license for selling either coal or lumber, while another will permit him to go into a hundred different vocations unthrone liccnsr. There can be no justification or apology for such an ab surd system. Trade ought either to be free, or all subject to a license. Our idea is that if a cabinet maker desires to add shoe-making to his business lie ought to pay an additional license; if to that be wants to add tailoring, let him pay another, and so on through all mechanical business of any character. 4tli. The publication of all general laws in all the leading papers in the State im mediately after their passage and approval, so that the people can see what they are expected to obey. All laws of a local chac ter ought also to be published in the coun ties or districts affected by them. ttSuThe House of Representatives at ! Washington still continues to keep up a tic- J bating school, in which the democratic fac tions let off steam on the slavery question, though it is evidently flagging, as those j who were lately quite willing to eat fire and brimstone arc now content with roast beef j and turkey. The patent democrats get up a new candidate about every twenty-four hours —one da)' denounce the know noth- 1 ings and the next try to cajole them into voting for some national (i.e. slavery) man —but thus far have not succeeded in form ing that abhorenee <>f Jackson men, a COA LITION The republicans continue to vote steadfastly for Sherman, who on several ballots lacked but three votes. Gilmer, of North Carolina, as we stated last week, can probably still be elected whenever the dem ocrats will vote for him, but we suppose they are afraid lie will not appoint white washing committees to suit the administra tion.

A more exemplary life or happier experience in death than that of the dear youth so early called to the tomb, has seldom been met with in one so young. Though but a short time resident among us. his amiable dis position had endeared him to the hearts of many who witnessed the patience and resignation with which be bore his affliction, and who sympathize with the be reaved family whose little circle death has again en tered. Ilis disease was lingering, and often accom panied with severe suffering, yet no murmur or com plaint ever escaped his lips, and he seemed to he calmly awaiting his summons to the skies. Christian friends wiso eonver.-ed with him invariably found him in the happiest state of mind, but it was when he itemed the hour of his departure that he more partic ularly evidenced the delightful influence of piety up on the youthful heart. The evening preceding his death, a most joyous feeling came over his spirits, which was manifested by the dismissal of the natural timidity which usually made him appear quiet and re served. and he conversed freely with a number of friends present, and so sweetly did he speak of his pi t -ont happy condition and the joys of that immortal state he should so soon enter, that those who stood by his dying bed felt indeed that it was "heaven's gate." Later in the night, he called his father to his bedside, and after speaking in regard to the disposal of his re mains. lie bade him live for heaven, telling him that when he would come to die he would find his three boys awaiting his arrival on the other shore. He then affectionately addressed his mother, and afterwards his little sister, counselling her to avoid the company of wicked children, and always to be obedient to her parents, and. asking to IK* left alone, he offered a most touching and eloquent prayer for her preservation from evil and that they might meet in heaven. His conversation was intermingled with ejaculations of praise, and lie frequently gave utterance to such ex pressions as "It is nothing to die!" " Paradise is close I by!" Ac. A few hours before his death, he spoke of i hearing delightful music and of seeing bright forms; I and who can doubt but that the heavenly messengers •• Were "round the bed. and in the room, Waiting to bear iiis spirit home." After a violent fit of coughing, he turned to his ! mother and said. "Hid you hear that?" an i then ad ded. "The Saviour called me!" When, prevu u.-!y. tie ! wt£ told by Dr. Martin, his p! y.-i...m. that he could i not live two days, he r-r•.!. "I long for the hour to ! come." Here his rm pt. when ii said, "Moth i or. what i- that for .-.use I that?" His I mother t -plied, "Sonny, it is hard to part with you!" upon which he said, "My dear mother, 1 am prepared to go; all is peace, ppir.e'-s and joy! U. I ant so : happy, so happy! O, praise the Lord! glory betoflod! | O, my Saviour, my Saviour! hallelujah! hallelujah! O, : I am so happy!" Here he was so exceedingly happy ;n Christ, that his heart seemed to be on fire with love to Je.-.tts: and this state of mind continued to the last moment of his life. About six o'clock on Friday even ! iug, he gently breathed his last, and Clinton's spirit, . released from earth, flew to meet his Saviour's em ' brace, and join his little brothers in the happy land. LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE BATTLE SONG OF THE CHVRGH. F*ar not the foo. Thou flock of God. Fear not the sword, the spear, the rod. Fear not the foe He fights in vain who fights with thee; Soon shalt thou sc.- his armies Himself laid low. Come, cheer thee to the toil and fight; 'Tis God. thy God, defends the right; He leads thee on. His sword shall scatter every foe. His shield shall ward off every blow— The crown is won. His is the battle. His tlie power. His is the triumph in that hour; In Hi in !K> strong. So round thy brow the wreath shall twine, So shall the victory be thine. " And thine the song. Not long the sigh, tltc, toil, the sweat. Not long the tight-day's wasting heat; The shadows come. Slack not thy weapon ill the fight: Courage: for God defends tie* right: Strike home! strike home! Some twelve months ago, missionaries of the Cross, laboring in India, sent out to the world an earnest invitation to unite with them in devoting the second week in January, 1860, to "importuate prayer that God would pour out his Spirit upon the flesh, and cause the ends of the Earth to see his salvation." In accordance with these recommendations the Protestants throughout the world are now holding pray er meetings, so that there is probably not a minute during each twenty four hours in which a prayer is not seat up to the throne of grace in some part of the world. In Lewistowji the meetings are held alter nately at the Presbyterian, Lutheran and Methodist churches, are largely attended, and give promise that ere the close of the week no church in town will hold the con gregation. There is no special concerted action for these meetings, but a council of ministers in Philadelphia recommended the following : 1. That, as far as practicable, we would en gage in these solemn services in assembled congregations. 2. That Monday should be devoted to fast ing, and to deep humiliation, heart-searching and self abasement before God. 3. That Tuesday we cry mightily unto God from the deep places of humility, that he will deepen and strengthen the work of grace, in the heart of every believer. 4. Wednesday may be given to supplica tion, that G jd will regard specially, and spe cially bless the children and youth, in both Christian and heathen lands. 5. Thursday may well be devoted to earnest prayer that God, by the exercise of his migh ty power, will remove all obstacles which now hinder the progress of the Gospel in our own land and throughout tire world. 6. Friday may be made a day of special in tercession for the large cities, towns and pop olous districts of the world, and for the islands of the sea. 7. Saturday we might plead, specially for Christ's ministers everywhere, and for a clo ser union of all Christ's disciples—for a ful fillment of the Saviour's precious prayer, That they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be one in us." On each of these days, as we bear these subjects to the throne of grace, in our closets, at the family altar, in the congregation and wherever we cart pray, t . • Messing of the Most High should be earnestly implored upon all missionaries and missionary agencies, that through their instrumentality the world ma}' be speedily converted to God. 8. The Sabbath, as our brethren in India suggest, may bo given to praise and thanks giving in the great congregation. O ® O C O MORKTHIEVIXG. —The dwelling of llcv. 11. linker. Pastor of the Lutheran Church in this place, was entered un Saturday al ternoon and a set of furs belonging to Mrs. Raker, a child's set, some daguerreotypes, and probably other articles taken —it is be lieved, by a short, stout man, with drab eoat and slouch hat. Should any such ar ticles be offered for sale, or seen in the hands of any suspicious person, it is hoped information w ill at once be given. From the number of strolling vagabonds through the country, who take every opportunity of stealing whatever they can lay hands on, it is evident our citizens cannot be too careful in keeping their doors closed and cither locked or bolted. [Since the above was in type, we learn that i a portion of the goods have been recovered, the thief having pledged them for his : lodging, lie is making his way north, and . measures have been taken for the recovery : of the remainder.] The robbers whom we noticed last week i with a hope of their arrest and punishment, j have met with a speedy retribution. They were taken at Mount I nion by I). Mut thersbough and Wm. 13. Hoffman, with | quite a variety of stolen property in their possession, brought to town, a true bill found, put upon trial, found guilty, and James Wakeman sentenced to the peniten tiary for two years and a half, and the boy, John Lyon, a half-brother we believe of the former, to the House of Refuge until he merits a discharge. ol those disgraceful calithum | pian exhibitions, much too common in this county, was enacted on Monday evening last, no doubt to the annoyance of the par ties and neighborhood. In this case it was the more reprehensible from the fact that a stranger in our community was the sub ject of this low proceeding. Such exhibi tions subject all engaged in them to severe punishment, and we fear a stop will not be ' put to them until the court some day inflict a severe but merited punishment on the actors. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. —On Thursday last " Fort Granville Division of Sons of Temperance" was opened in the Odd Fel lows Hall, Lewistown. by Grand Scribe Win.

Lecture by John A. Wright, Esq. A lecture was delivered by John A. Wright, Esq., before the Aprenticcs' Literary Society and a large and intelligent audience of ladies ' and gentlemen, on Saturday evening, Decem ber 31st. His text was " I will feed you with milk, and not with meat," or, in other words, that mankind should never be fed with food strong er than they are able to bear. He traced the rise and progress of human society from the creation of man to the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, from that epoch to the coming of Christ, and from thence to the present time and onward. He adverted to the marked events of the different epochs of time, and the peculiar fitness of the world for the ad vent of each, at its proper time. He conten ded that if the law had been given at an ear- j lier period, it would have failed in producing its designed effects; and that Christ could not have come into the world at any other period than he did. He spoke of the slow marches of civilization, government, the arts and sci ences, through the centuries of the past, and hiuted even at the comparative unfitness of man for self government at the present day, of which fact abundant proofs might be pro- j duced, but he did not wish to open " Pando ra's box." One grand fact is plain enough to all who make human nature a study, that the progress of every epoch bas been fully as rap id as the digestive organs of the people of the advancing generations could bear. He dwelt on the idea that there is a good time coming yet for man. His mental faculties are to be wonderfully developed and enlarged. Lon gevity is now on the increase, and will con tinue to increase as the laws and forces of na- • ture are better understood. He will have much longer time to work out the powers of his mind, and add improvement to improve ment, till he arrives at a standard so perfect as to be enabled to imitate the example of the great model as exhibited in the humanity of Jesus Christ. Our machines now so imper fect, shail be multiplied and perfected, and : their uses and forces increased to such a de gree, and adapted so completely to practical purposes that manual labor will be dispensed with, and the digging and toiling will be done by machinery altogether, ' Man was not made to earn bis bread by the labor of his hands, but " by the sweat of his brow,' that is, by the power of his mind. Ilis province is not to toil, but to direct. Ihe medical profession though of hoary age, has made but comparatively little progress in the healing art, and although some considerable advance is apparent, yet since the days of Esculapius and Galen, the practice has been a regular round of lancet, calomel. Spanish flies and Ippecacuanha. But as their pro genitors were great at guessing, they contin tinue that branch of the science with remark able skill and effect. Their Honors, the Judges of our Courts, and professional gen tlemen of the Bar, were handled in an appro priate manner, but they, in their turn, will be superseded by new developments in that branch, in the good time to come. He fancied twelve jurors in the box, having their inner man stuffed with sour crout and pork and their mouths with tobacco quids, butat smok ing, the great distinguished feature of thisage, lie did not give a single puff. The lecturer concluded by a forcible argument in favor of the protection of home industry, as the sur est means of developing the resources of our country, and the skill and enterprise of our people. The lecture was an able and highly instructive production, and was delivered in au easy and pleasing manner. The regret is, that so little justice is done to it in this imperfect sketch. Ido not pre tend to give the sentences in the elegant style in which they were delivered, but have mere ly endeavored to give an idea of the outlines of the discourse. It seems like an oasis in the literary desert j to liave the pleasure ot' hearing so tine a dis- ■ course from a private gentleman and business j man. It is hoped that we may enjoy many more such treats through the instrumentality of • that excellent society. J. Huntingdon County.

What the New York City Folks Say Of Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured bv .

His son then mentioned Dr. \i bane's \ ermifuge, and asked him If he would take it; ids reply was— I must. lake something to get relief, or die. ' they at once procured a bottle of Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated \ ermil'ugc, and be took one half at one dose.
