R.,and withiE one-half mile of Ross's crossing; at lattei place all accommodation passenger trains will stop. Efforts are being made to lrav local freight trains stop there aiso 011 day of commencing or closing, and ample ac commodations for boarding convenient, and abundance of excellent water within reasonable distance of the ground. Public are invited to attend. Friends from ad joining charges wishing to tent with us, will please signify their intentions to the undersigned. M. L. SMITH, Pastor. Newton Hamilton, Pa. Slackwater. —Some preliminary meas ures have been taken with a view of adapting the Juniata to slackwater navi gation. There is certainly nothing in the road to prevent this from being carried out. as the fall of water from the Newton Hamilton dam down is quite regular, and from thence to Huntingdon but little dif ficulty would be encountered. Such a change would soon create steam naviga tiand present a sight few ever aaltci pated on the " Blue Juniata." It has al ways appeared to us that a channel for light draught boats—such as arc used on tii* Ohio—could be made at a eompara tiv y small expense, by removing rocks and stones for a breadth of 50 or 100 feet, although in many places the river ap pear- lite shallow to the eye, the real dt-j en the riffles is never less than from on. ' - two feet, as any one can test by an attempt at wading, and in most places no. li more. Many boats on the Ohio draw only about 2U inches, so that navi gation here is not so unfavorable as some imagine. fr it is evident that if even a channel, such as we speak of. were clean ed out. i flat b ttom steamer could make its way I rum Duncan s Island to the old Au- iiwick Falls at the present stage of wanr without difficulty. Middle Creek Railroad, —The corps of en gineer- employed to locate this road have corn p. -i tin- survey to the old Roth rock Mi!!, a out o; miles from town, from v. •■nee we learn a re-survey will be made to Liiieysville, in order to test the praeti . y *•; that route. It is the intention of tin mi any to get towork next month. > .I:H a 1 iitional stock has been secured, - .hat but a comparatively small amount r .mams to be provided for. Whatever (!;::< fences of opinion may exist a- to the proj nety or impropriety of sundry pro i tilings, we are sure all will be rejoiced to see the road commenced, and if it i then prosecuted with any degree of wis lom, we believe capital enough can be -ecured to grade it. The Academy.—The want existing by the vacancy in the above Institution will d.-ly be supplied, as a female teacher tuts dready U*en engaged, viz: Mrs. Jane h. Nolan formerly of this county. The trliave marie a proposition to Mr. John Laird formerly of Academia, Juni ata < unty. which he will likely accept. The fall -ession will begin about tSeptem i< r. Wf no reason why this Acarie ru\ should not be a popular Institution, such Leu istown would l>e proud of, as : ful location and surroundings re:. it an attractive place for students. He.angt's Patent Soap. —Captain M. F. C"• tr: ai-'haui has purchased the right of this -nap for a number of counties, from wh m individual, family, and county right- may be secured. This is an excel ie:.t .- >-ap, and for cheapness cannot be exr . Common hard Soap can be h.a :• tor one cent ].<er pound, and an ex article of Shaving Soap for five cer.N jor pound. Thi- Soap will remove givase, oil, pitch, tar or paiut, without in jury to cloth or silk. Grove has still the largest run of customers, and the reason is he keeps nothing but what is good and sells cheap. II - Hams, Shoulders and Bacon are ex cellent, while Iris Cheese can't be beat.

Of sucli childish charms, so gentle and affect ion -] ate in disposition, her clear blue eve. ol - singular brilliancy and beauty, spoke that | depth ot tenuernc.-.- and sensibility that made her the idol of her home and of her ! loved Sabbath School. How deeply dis , tres-ing to see -ucli youth and gentleness torture! with such severe agonies as thi j dear child was called UJHOU to endure— pains almost as great as we could suppose 1 1 possible to humanity. In a tempo ran t; respite the little sufferer uttered with a , sigh of relief the touching exclamation. ' O, I think i will lie so comfortably in my coffin. Alas ! for <diildhood to be so troubled as "to be glad when it can find the grave," and to say with Job, "For now should I have lain still and been quiet. I should have slept, then had I been at rest. Her childish faith proved strung as a .Luther in this liery trial. She want- I ed her Superintendent and Pastor ever at her bedside, and at prayer—she prayed , j audibly, using often the forms of child hood—she talked'constantly of the Sab bath school and of her love to Jesus, am! told all with delight how once a host of angels filled the room and smiled and beckoned to her, so that she knew invisi ble friends were near.
