FRYSINGER, the pa per will in the future bo conducted. ; Their long experience in the business j and knowledge of the interests of the people of Mifflin count}*, will enable j them to make the "Gazette" as for- | raerly under their charge, a necessity ; for the Union party of j YVitbin the brief term that we had the 5 paper, has ended successfully for the Union, the most unwarranted and un- j holy rebellion that has ever disgraced i . i the history of the world. YVe used j the influence of the '-Gazette" against j the traitors, and in tiivorof the Union, j and the people of Mifflin county at i the late election, by a decisive majori- I ty approved our course, and decided I that a party that favored the enemies : of the country in their efforts to de stroy our glorious Union, is unfit to . rule the nation and make our laws, j With proper efforts Mifflin county will always hereafter be found ranged on the side of the country's friends. YY*e ! relinquish the editorial chair at a time i like this with pleasure, and thank the Union men of Mifflin county for their cordial support of us during the past year, and bespeak for the new propri tors the "aid and comfort" they have heretofore received from the people of lids county. DAVID OVER. BACK AGAIN. After an interval of ten months, we again appear as proprietor of the Lew istown Gazette, which paper will here after be published by G. k G. R. FRY SINGER. Our political status is so well known, and both of us have so long been identified with the Union partv, that it is hardly necessary to say more than that we shall advocate its best • interests, not by utter subserviency to all that is said and done by those in power, but by a respectful canvass of measures which now, more than ever, will have an important bearing on the future weal or woe of this country.— The war is over, it is true; but we are by no meanß free from danger in the future, unless restoration and recon struction be put upon a basis guarding i agaiust all probability of another re bellion, or, what would be still worse, an insurrection on the part of the colored population of the South a measure which we honestly believe many of the Southern cutthroats who inaugurated the rebellion, are now trying their best to produce by bar barous and cruel treatment of the op pressed race, and by the attempted enforcement of unequal and unjust laws. Many of the southern people would no doubt gladly set down to peacetul pursuits and endeavor to adapt themselves to the new circumstances brought on their heads by acquiescing in the foul deeds of the traitors who "fired the Southern heart," but so long as these leading traitors are suffered to go at large and in newspapers as well as at public assemblages glory in their treason, so long will it require military authority to keep them in subjection; for, it must be evident to the least discerning, that whon once recognized by Congress as States in Full communion, the same evil spirits who controlled them five years ago would again resume sway, and then, in defiance of President and Congress, * enact laws favoring those who had been in rebellion and oppressing those who had been loyal. To suffer this,; would be shameful and disgraceful to us as a nation, if not tantamount to National suicide. We believe the Pres ident has become satisfied that icith i this class he has been too lenient, and of late has adopted a much stricter course in granting pardons. Between himself and Congress there is therefore now no essential difference as to the proper course to be followed, and we teel sat isfied that until a better disposition is i shown in several States lately in rebel lion, tbey will be put upon their good behavior and held under military rule- After deliberating upon the matter, we have come to the conclusion to j publish the Gazette at its old terms, namely, $1 50 per annum in advance. We shall try this price for six months, and if prompt payment is made in or nearly in advance, we may bo enabled to continue it. In job work and ad- ! vertising however we can make no change. To a number in and out of town, ! now on the list, who,'have heretofore been dilatory in paying, we furnish a paper this week, but will not do so hereafter unless some satisfactory ar rangement be made. Should we feel able to do so, some improvement will be made in the ap pearance of the Gazette, a portion ot the type in use being considerably worn, and in other respects we shall endeavor to print a paper useful and interesting to home readers generally. GEORGE FRYSINGER, Lewistown, Jan. 10, 1860. Is there a Christian Sabbath ? Quite a controversy lately sprung up in Philadelphia between a number ot leading ministers and the publisher of The Press, in consequence of the latter issuing a Sunday paper. The clergymen naturally took the ground ' that such a publication was a desecra tion of the Sabbath, and accordingly requested Forney to discontinue it; while the latter contends that nearly all the work is done on Saturday— that its reading is good and useful to j the religious community—and that more work is done on Sunday on a Monday paper than one published on the first day. Since then others have i participated in the strife, and hard words given on both sides. The Press . has also brought in another issue, and now advocates the running of street cars on Sundays, which it justifies on various grounds. We have read all on ■ both sides that has thus tar been pub- I lished, and believe The Press in the main is wrong, by placing a matter of convenience to the public before ahigher i obligation, tor turn and twist the sub- j ject as you may, it resolves itself into ! the simple question, ''ls there a Chris tian Sabbath, and ought it to bo ob served?" The laws of Pennsylvania ! recognize it, and accordingly prohibit ; all unnecessary secular employment. Why, then, Should a proprietor of a newspaper be allowed to follow his oc cupation in preference to a carpenter, i shoemaker, blacksmith, or other me- I chanie.' \\ e know from personal j experience there is no necessity for do j ing an}* work on a Monday morning paper on Sunday, for all that is wanting j to secure its outward observance is for i the publishers of all daily papers to enter into an agreement to cease work j on Saturday evening, and not to com- j meneo again until after 12 o'clock at j night on Monday,which would be doing no more than is done, by general ac- j quiescence, by almost every other bus- j iness or occupation followed. Again, j why should a soulless corporation be ! suffered to run street ears on Sunday? The Press says to accommodate those who have no time to recreate during the week. But how about those who may have no money to spend? And suppose those who do go should get dry and want something to drink, or want a feast? YY ould the Press give the same right to the rumshopg it clai ms for itself and passenger railways? Besides, why close the stores? " The people he speaks ot may have as little time during the week to go shopping as to go on pleasure trips. The recrimina tion that sundry clergymen and reli gious people ride in their carriages and feast on Sundays is no argument at all. If there is a Christian Sabbath and they do wrong, it is no justification for eith er The Press or passenger railways to do likewise. Even passing over the religious view of the question, wo believe the general observance of Sunday by all classes, viewed morally, is a measure beneficial I to tuiud and body, bringing a grateful relaxation from business and labor, and enabling those who toil early and late during the week to spend at least one day in seven in the midst ! of home or friends, in church, in Sun day school, Ac. Unless extremely poor or improvident, few but can find both time and occasion for rational en joyment during the progress of a year, and the sober and industrious of this class we are sure care but little for ad ditional facilities lor visiting places of public resort on that day—visits which as a general thing, tend to vice and , dissipation more than to virtuous en joj7ment. Our opinion, with many years of experience before us, is that Sunday employments ought rather to he further restrained than extended, for if public opinion, which now holds the major part in check, were to break through its outward observance, there would he no end to its open violation, under just such pleas as the Press ad vocates for street cars. A Leaf of History. Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, a noted rebel and former patent democrat, has been reconstructed, at least in part, and adapted his new 7 situation according t> circumstances, as appears by tbe ; following letter addressed to Gen. O. O. Howard, Commissioner of Freed men : NASHVILLE, TENN., Dec. 22, 1865. It affords rae pleasure to inform you that I have been successful beyond the most sanguine expectations in engaging labor : for all my plantations in Arkansas and Tennessee. 1 have already engaged about 4UU freedmen. and have full confidence in making a success of the work. I hare given in all cases the ireedmcn a part safes were all blown open. Somo SBO,OOO in greenbacks, and a large ; amount ot bonds were scattered around ■ the floor. The car was an iron one. The robbery was not discovered until it reached Boston. The only two countries in Europe where highway robbery is still a sys tematic business, carried on in defiance jof the authorities, are Naples and Greece. In the laiter country it is on the increase A few weeks ago three ; English travelers, of noble birth, were captured by the brigands in Livadia. One was detained as hostage, and the other two sent on their way to procure money to. their rausom. After some negotiation, the matter was settled by each of the gentlemen paying £I,OOO, making an aggregate amount which should support a large band of brigands for some time in such splendor as their representatives in opera and melo drama always display. The London I Times appeals to the interests of the | Greek people to have a stop put to i such doings, unless they wish English j tourists to avoid their shores alto j gether. The Soldiers' and Sailors' National Union League ol Washington, has is sued an address urging all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors to pre | serve their discharge papers, and not ; to part with them to speculators for any sum. This advice has the official | endorsement of Hon. J Broadhead, Second Comptroller, who has address ed a communication to the Paymaster General as follows: It has been brought to my notice that certain claim agents are advertising that they are engaged in the collection of extra bounty, from two to three hundred dollars, for sol diers who enlisted in 1861 and 1862, and all other times when only one hundred dollars were paid, arid are thus fraudulently obtaining possession !of soldiers' discharges. In no case, ! except that of veterans, has the extra i bounty- referred to been authorized, [ nor can it be paid without further leg- I islation; and it is very important that j soldiers should not part with their dis charges through a misrepresentation of their rights. 1 would therefore re spectfully suggest the propriety of giving official notice that in no case, except as above,' is a soldier who en listed prior to June 25, 1863, entitled to more than one hundred bounty. PILLS TIIAT ARE PERFECT. i There are many good pills in the world, i we hope, for the sake of humanity, but the i pills that are really perfect, because they are . I aperient, tonic, laxative, stimulant, counter" | irritant, sudorific, and alterative all the same time, are Kadway's Regulating Pills, sold everywhere, and for only 25 cents a box.— With these rare pills in your house, you can do without purging by means of other pills !or powders. You can do without salts, seid ! litz, castor oil, citrate of magnesia, senna and manna, and so on. You w ant none of these, i Radway's Regulating Pills are a substitute I for the whole of them, and, what is better, may be taken with safety and comfort by the most delicate woman as well as the robust i man. They are the only vegetable prepara tion existing which will answer in place of calomel, regulating the action of the liver, without making you a life long victim to the use of mercury or blue pill. They open the i bowels in a proper and wholesome manner, 1 being composed of the extracts of suitable i medicaments. They do not purge violently, like the drastic pills of aloes, or Croton or Harlem oil, or elaterum. by irritating the ■ coats of the intestines. They are, we repeat , the "perfec " pill of the age, and, when ta ken; keep all the secretions in a healthy con> dition, compel the organs to do their duty - with regularity, purify the blood, and secure that inestimable blessmg. sound health.— There is nothing like Radway's Regulating ■ Pilis for the cure of all disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and bladder; for nervous diseases, headache, costiveness, indigestion, biliious fever, piles, and all de rangements of the internal viscera. For 25 cents H box you have in those pills a panacea for some of the most painful and dangerous of all diseases. Sold by Druggists, i N. B. Dr. Radway's pills are elegantly coated with gum, are free from taste or smell . and peculiarly adapted for the use of all who are averse to taking pills- A child can swal low them with ease: they are mild, soothing and healing in their operation, they purge disease thoroughly from the system. Every i family should keep them in the house. 2w Illinois produced in 1865. one hun dred and seventy-seven millions of : bushels of corn, twenty five millions of bushels of wheat, eight hundred thousand bushels of rye, one million bushels of baric}*, and twenty-eight million bHshels of oats. Ex-President Millard Fillmore and i wife sailed for Europe on Friday. — | They "ill he absent about six or eight months. Official news from Mexico, received byway of Washington, says that Jua rez has entered upon his new term without encountering any serious op position Gen, Keguies has been up pointed General in chief of the central army. Several other officers have been piomoted to Major Generals. St. Paul's Church, in New York, is j to be a horse-railroad depot. 'i he receipts of internal revenue on Mon day were H million and a quarter dollars During the past year 221 persons o' va rious ages have been killed by horse con veyances in the streets of London The wheat yield of Minnesota is said to be unprecedented, averaging twenty seven bushels to the acre. Spain promises a large olive crop. Com m u nieated. To those who have Money I atu still selling share* in the Tarsbish silver Mining Co., of New York and C e : Spanish Gold and Silver Mining Co., j! i Philadelphia. Both are legitimate com ; patties. and not speculative; in both ihedi i rectors are men of wealth and high stand ing; and in both the prospects o; taujr r \ turps are exceedingly promising, >osv the least Moreover, they are nearly one year ahead of any other company which i now offering its stock for sale, their machinery j being at the mines and their shop- and fae ! tories under way. It is entirely reasonable to exp-ct divi fiends from these companies the coming j ' summer. j If is rot at all likely that shares can be | had much longer at the present prices, j ' Moreover 1 am offering inducements in ! ' -Spanish" //us tcerk, which I cannot prom | ise next. Therelore, I advise those who j contemplate investing in silver tocks to j call at my office this week. I can give ; full and satisfactory information concerning these companies. I am authorized to receive government bonds at par in payment for shares. 11 FRY SINGER. Lew is town, Jan. 10, 1866.

On examining the proof sheets, the committee were rather favorably impressed, and it? view of the great importance of having a grammar suited to the wants of our schools, they deemed it expedient to postpone final ac tion in this matter until Mr Parkcr'a grammar is published in full, and we and the teachers have an opportunity of giving it a complete and thorough examination. The grammar will be out in about two weeks. On motiou the following resolu tions were passed : ltesolved, That the President and Sec retary be appointed to prepare and for ward a copy of the report of the sub com mittee to each School Board in the county, j together with the proceedings of the gen eral committee.

Mohler, County Superintendent, at Lewis town, on or before the 15th day of Febru ary, 1866 Resolved, ihat in case of the adoption of the report of the sub-committee, it, is recommended that each School Board in the couuty defray the expense of exohang j ing the old books for the new, out of the school funds of the different districts.
