T. Bar nitz, who has been engaged in teaching for some years in this and other locali ties, commences a Night School, in the Town Hall, this evening, 10th inst. Ho will teach by the oral method entire ly. It will be an adult class, and a fine opportunity is afforded those too old to go to school, or where business prevents them from paying attention to books. — Young geiits and ladies, and even mar ried ladies and gentlemen will find it to their advantage to attend.- TEMPERANCE. —On Thursday last Lo gan Lodge of this place held a picnic in Banks' grove, which was attended by members of several other Lodges in the county. The affair passed off pleasantly, ami the address was delivered by Rev. J. Croralish. ♦ In the evening, Mrs. Gage addressed our citizens in the Town Hall. Her elo quence drew a very large audience on Friday evening, also. She is an estima ble lady, and was a contributor to the New- York Independent. The Presidential electioneering party reached this place on Friday last, a little after four o'clock. A large num ber of persons visited the station, some to see Johnson, others to take a look at Grant, Faragut, &c. Mr. Banks welcomed the President irrespective of party, which rather seemed to astonish the Kitchen Department in Johnson's rear, as well as the special reporter, as the latter dismiss es us in a few brief lines, not even deign ing to mention Mr. Banks' name. John son briefly replied by expressing his ap preeiation of the honor, and promised to do his duty. Several relicts of democracy, who used to ask republicans a year and a half ago how they liked their drunken Vice President, went over, as they said, to keep republicans from insulting "Our no ble President," but with the exception of a private democratic fight, everytnihg passed off in harmony and g<x>d feeling. At Mifflin the reporter waked up, Mr. Doty, as usual, making a rabid address, which is thus reported : E. S. Doty, in his speech of welcome to the President, said "Discourteous otti eials had often attempted to deprive him of the honor which was his due, but he had the regard of the masses accorded to him. YOQ have," he said, "the hearts of your countrymen. I mean those who love their country above party. In war you fought disunionists in the army, and now, in peace, you fight those who seek to disrupt the Government by legislative means. The one was to tear down our beautiful temple by force, and the other by stratagem and fraud. The attachment to your home was weaker than your love of your country, and you still uphold the standard, not with twenty-five, but with thirty-six stars, and neither men nor dev ils can drive you from your purpose." The President said, "please accept my sincere thanks, through your honored re presentative, for this cordial and sponta neous welcome. Allusion has been made to the discharge of my public duty in vetoing some Hills, and 1 have stood* un waveringly to the post of duty. In reply to what you say about party, 1 will mere ly remark, the time has come when the people of the United States should lift themselves above party, and stand by the Constitution." As Mr. Doty is one of the most unscrup ulous partizans in the State, and Johnson himself is using every species of bribery and corruption in his power to form anew party, their reference to rising above party is peculiarly rich. ''Engaged—Miss Anna Gould to John Caudal, City Marshall, both of Leaven worth, Kansas. From this time hence forward and forever, until Miss Anna Gould becomes a widow —all young men are requested to withdraw their particu lar attention." We clip the abovfe from a Kansas paper | for the edification of a number of young ladies and gentlemen who frequently get astray after church, and commend it to them as an excellent method for prevent ing jealousy, ill-feeling, hatred or revenge, and frequently a cutting in two of tender hearts formed for each other. Aftrr such ■t notice, of course no gentleman or lady would be guilty of interfering with tin parking preliminary to the consumma tion of their hopes, and the "course of true love" would he more apt to run mooth than now, when "fellers" occa sionally pick up your gal before your <yes, walk away in triumph, and "-olid you pouting to your home, per i iaps to pass a sleepless night imagining all "orts of things that might occur. Adver bs by all means, and then you are safe . rid sure. FRIGHTFUL. ACCIDEXT AT JOHHSTOWK. Fall or a Flat form. Several Persons Killed and Three Hund red Wounded. On Friday morning, Sept. 14th, Johns town was visited by the most frightful ac cident in its history. About eleven o'- clock, says the Tribune, the train from Pittsburgh, containing President Johnson and his party, arrived at the Station and j stopped a few mintes to allow a large crowd of citizens, of both sexes and all ages, to obtain a sight of the distinguish ed gentlemen. The President was intro duced by Hon. Edgar Cowan. The crowd then called successively for Grant, Farra gut and Secretary Seward, who also made their appearance on the platform of the car. At this moment, and before any op portunity had been offered for making speeches, the platform which spans the abandoned canal at the Station suddenly gave way and precipitated several hund red persons a distance of twenty feet to its bed, now occupied by the track of the Johnstown and Cuneniaugh Railroad.— The scene which ensued can better be im agined than described. It was appalling to the stoutest hearts. As soon as possi ble those who were not on the platform and those who were but did not sustain any injury, made haste to rescue the suf ferers from the horrible pit, and to render them sueii assistance as was in their pow er. Physicians were sent for and banda ges and stimulants procured. We have made every effort to obtain the names of the killed and wounded, and subjoin the following as a tolerably accurate list: KILLED. —-David Metzgar, Nathaniel Duncan, Mrs. Quirk. WOUNDED.—WM.

FIRE. —On Monday evening last a child was playing in a room up stairs in the houseof Wm. Montgomery, on Mill street, when she got hold of some matches and somehow set the bedding on fire, the flames partly consuming the quilt, tick, &t\, and communicating to the window frame close by. Tt was fortunately extin guished before further damage was done. Matches should be placed out of the reach of children. WHAT WAS IT?—At the reception of the President last week, among the bou quets presented was a small one appar ently with the roots or stems stuck into a bottle, which was wrapped closely enough in a newspaper to disclose its shape. Was that beautiful floral offering preserved in whisky or water t We pause for a reply. The Lewistown Academy, in charge of Prof. J. 11. Nourse, opened this morning. Ball playing by boys on the most fre quented streets is getting to be somewhat of a nuisance. The public schools opened on Monday last. It is to be hoped some attention will be paid to the conduct of the scholars out side, and that the recess nuisance will be at once abandoned, if they will not be have themselves. A circus was here on Monday, and, as might have been expected had poor hous- es. Blymyers are remodeling their store house at the mill. We had a slight frost on Hunday morn- 1 ing last, but so far as we can learn no in jury was sustained from it. j Mrs. Andrew Mayes, while walking along Third street the other day, was at- ' tacked by a fierce cow, and barely escaped being seriously injured. Henry Book of Derry township, pre- ! sented an apple to us weighing one pound three OUIHKS and a half, and measuring j fourteen inches in circumference—the j largest we have yet seen. Who can beat it? Bring them on. Lida, second daughter of H. W. Jun- j kin, who remained overnight at the res idence of the editor of the Democrat, j night before last, got up in her sleep, and ! walked out of the second story window, i falling on a paved yard below. She is ! apparently but little hurt. Charles C. Parker, an axemaker at 1 Mann's factory, was so much injured on Monday last between two cars on the siding at that place, that he died yester- j day morning. A car was standing on the ; track, and while crossing lie was caught by some cars which were being moved. He was a single man from br near Tren- j ton, N. J., and aged 46 years. The new party will hold a mass meet ing at Lewistown on the 27tli of Septem ber, when Mr. Clymer will probably ex plain how Andrew Johnson was bought. T'S.

The eyes speak all languages, whether black, blue, brown or hazel. In alike manner,cheeks, neck, ears, hands, feet, walk, voice, laugh, etc., are shown to be "signs of character." I In no other work is so milch light thrown upon the l character juid destiny of mankind as in this, or the | distinctive traits of nations and tribes so clearly point : ed out. Portraits of distiinguished persons of ancient i and modern times, with biographical sketches and I delineation of character, are given.
