It is. in fact, perfect, a point but seldom reached by any invention. Wo would call the atten tion of Carpenters to it. They are the persons wiio should purchase the right of use for their own townships. From the fact of its radical advantages over all oth er window fixtures, it must soon come into universal use.

TntS H.DIERS' ORPHANS. —'The gener al good feeling existing for our soldiers and those connected with them wasstrou ly exemplified by all classes of our citizens last week towards the orphan children at McAllisterville school, who came here for the purpose of raising funds to be appro priated for the benefit of two young girls from this county who desire to remain there, but cannot do so as free scholars— the law excluding them on attaining the age of sixteen. Tiie number brought up was fifty-six, and it was pleasant on al! sides to hiar that the ditlereiit families who received them vied with each othe. in acts of kindness and good feeling. On Wednesday morning, just previous to their departure, men, women and chil dren flocked to the Town Hall with books and other presents, aud a considerable number were the recipients of skates, gloves, hoods, scarfs, and various other articles calculated to create pleasant re miniscences; and being just of that age when such things create the deepest im pression, we lia%"e no doubt many will, in long years to come, recur to their visit to Lewistown as one of the pleasures of their youthful days. The whole proceeding was creditable to oar citizens, and elicited the remark from one of the orphans that "although they had been to Philadelphia and Harrisburg, they liked their visit to Lewistown better than either of the others." The exhibitions netted, clear of expenses and a few dollars of counterfeit money, $297.15. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— i John Van Camp ami some other hands j employed on the canal left hereon Thurs day last, 3d January, for the purj>ose of ; making some repairs on tiie line near ' Dauphin, and on the cars arriving at Ma- ; rysville they proceeded to cross the X. C. i Railroad Bridge. Van Camp was a little i ht hind, and when he reached a point be- I tween the county road and low water j mark, fell through on the rocks beneath, fearfully crushing his head and producing instant death, llis remains were brought to Lewistown and on Sunday last inter red in the Methodist graveyard with a military escort, he having made that re quest to a comrade some days before his death. He was aged 51 years. 6 months aid lb days. He enlisted in the 9th Cav alry during the war, from which he was discharged for disability, but afterwards again entered the service and remained in it for soiue unie. LOST. —(Considerable excitement was oc casioned at Milroy last week, by a littie 4 year old boy getting on a passing sled un observed, and tiding some distance, when the driver noticed him and left hint ott'at Ldm Taylor's. A strict search wasinsti t'Jted, but all returned unawarded except one, who stoppel at Mr. T's. and found the little runaway snugly laid away un <ler blanket and coverlid. At 3 o'clock a. m. he was taken safely to his father's house. EL,"** A good many of our mail subscri bers m iv have noticed an "X'' on their papers. They all doubtless know that X means "due," and that, unless we hear from them, their names will be crossed on t j ie , na jj jjook Thankingthem fr past favors, we hope they may all re new. TEMPERANCE. —On Friday evening last the Town Hall was crowded to hear Rev. B. F. Crever and Maj. J. P. Walters, both formerly of this place, on the subject of temperance. Mr. \\ alters is a good read er, and rendered several j>oems in a style that elicited admiration and applause, lite speech of Mr. Crevcjr was powerful in logic, and did not fail in impressing his auditors with the great necessity for all to rise and do battle against the giant evil which contributes so largely and foul- ' ly to the premature destruction of our young men, desolates so many homes, undermines morality, and impairs the 1 foundations of the noble Institutions of our glorious Republic*. Another meeting was held last evening, addressed by Rev. K'rby, of Milllintown, : in an earnest and stirring speech. Maj. Walters sang a song and recited several lK>ems. A branch organization of the National Temperance Society was formed with James McCord, esq., as President. HENDERSON 11. H. & L.

The ice houses have been filled with ex cellent ice. They key of Swan's variety store was stolen a few weeks ago, and some hungry fellow got in while he was at supper and hooked sls or S2O. Two young horses ran off with a sleigh on Thursday morning last, upsetting it and throwing out the seat, but the sleigh being an iron one was but little imured. A Bupier, got up at the instance of a number of Odd Fellows, was given at the Union House o:i the evening of the Ist January, and about 99 ladies and gentle men did ample justice to the sumptuous table set by Major Cnrr.

Haines' Patent SAFETY BRIDLE The Best and Most Effectual in Use. ■WrMEROTS patents have been issued and various improvements made on Safety Bridles, but ihere is nothing invidious in saying that the invention pa tented by Joseph C. Haines vt tliis place is superior to any yet offered. combining features of simplicity and power in guiding and surging a horse or horses which no e<hoi* possesses. The essential feature of this patent >9 in providing the driviua rein with shift ing bearings, which form the points of attachment between the rem and bit rings, and thus act upon the bit directly, when easv and steady driving will con trol ttie animal, but when it requires a more severe application of the bit, sent bei rings leave the bit rings ami give way to the straps to winch they may lie at tached. Tins is all done t.y the regular driving line, no extra one being required, which ought to .-study every person of the great superiority ot this inven tion to an? otiier. I he following certificates from well kn wn gentle men, some of whom have had roach experience with horses will show the estiniaMu in wbw.li this bridle is held : I.EWISTOWX, Aug. Si 18C6.

Hiunes. ot this town, upon my luuaway mare, tiie result ha- proven to my entire sMisfactiou trial any horse can !-e prevented from running off or kicking. Mr. H.

VV. Hoovui. I.Kiwsmw*. Aug 21. 1806. Joseph C. Haines—Dear Sir: After having fully tri ed your c afeiv Bridle on my untrained colts. 1 find that your invention embraces all Unit is desirable in a bridle. Its simple construction, and adaptation to any common bridle and any rein, cannot but mal. e its use universal. The ease with which it can be ad justed to a soft or hard mouthed hoisc is an excellent teature, rendering its tte as effectual in preventing running or kicking as any other pateut bridle or reitx and as easy on the tnotitli as the common bit,and as it is always readv at the critical moment, it cuimotbol recommend itself to ali who will try or look at it. Respectfully yours, A. T. H tLTO>. M. D. i.EWWTowx. i Jecember 8, 1866. I have been driving liorses since I know anvthmg ; about them, and have drove some very vicious horses i and colts. In driving such with a e.nullum bridle, I 1 never feci easy nor conifortal le to enjoy the lide. It j is more annoying, however, when you*have persona I with you and you can tell by their countenance tl at ! they dou't enjoy the ride from fear of your horse I running a little, or even running away. 1 have always i thought there might a bridle or bit so constructed 1 that you could drive and iiold horses with perfect ! ease and safety. The first of this kind I happened | to see was I>r. Hartman's. 1 thought it was very good. In the meantime it occurred to ine that the way the | lines worked on the bridle you could not draw tfie bit I and let it drop quirk enough on your horses, Some j horses and colts when you surge them tightly and I cannot slack the lines quickly, "will balk and back j very ugly. I once saw Mr. t'hrists and Stamen's patent with the elastic strap, working on about the same principle as Dr. Hartman's. Mr. Christ then gave me a bridle to try on my horse. I had the same objection to it 1 had to Dr. Hartman's. My attention was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Haines' Patent, of our town. My attention was arrested immediately with the appearance of it. I have been using it for some two weeks quite successfully. I have drove along the railroad and other ugly places, feeling quite sate. 1 think it embraces all you can get out of a bridle. If the public once get to see tins bridle, they can't help but understand its simplicity, durability and effective ness, and taken together, cannot help recommending J itself. Railroads are made and being made lb rough | the country in every direction, crossing our pub'ic I roads four or five times in as many miles sometimes. I These crossings often occur at very ugly place. All i parties are more or iess afraid of meeting the trams ] when they are traveling f.ir fear their horses w ill take fright, and not be able to hold thein. This communi ty remembers how seriously Dr. Isaac ltothroek, of Snyder county, was hurt at the crossing, at the new Tan nary, last May. He found he could not hold his horse and then got out of his buggy, and the horse tore him around badly. K." M. KEEVER. LEWISTOVTS, Pa-, August 21,1866. This community is well aware of the fact that in the midst of an extensive practice, Dr. G. W. Hoover was almost killed by the running off of his mare. I drove this mare in single harness by using the Safety Bridle invented by Joseph C. Haines, and I found that she was entirely under my control. I believe the Safety Bridle is ail that can be desired for the security of life, limb, and vehicle when used either upon a docile or vicious horse. H. M. PRATT. fiif Any persons having fractious horses are invited to bring tliem to the undersigned, or during his ab sence to Mr. Pratt, and they can readily be satisfied | that any horse can not only "be prevented from kick ' ing but from running away. 1 have named the bridle "The Eureka," signifying j "I have found."
