There is a time for everything, a time to be merry and a time to be sad, a time to laugh and a time to mourn, but the time lbr buying goods at Grove's is now at hand, and of course every one who knows what is best for his own interest will patronize him.

Montgom ery's, where one of them is still living— the other which had been thrown in the water having died. A Revenue Case. —Weber's market car was seized at Millerstown last week by a detective, charged with having a lot of whisky on board manufactured at the Kast Find Distillery in this county, on which it is alleged the revenue tax was not paid. We hear it stated however that a permit had been granted for the removal of this whisky, and consequent ly that the seizure was without cause. The Morning Glory. —We beg leave to call the attention of the public to the fact that the Morning Glory in size is a much larger Stove and more powerful heater than any other similar stove made, the .A'', of the stove giving no similarity in . For instance, the No. 9 Morning Glory is 121 inches, the No. 9 of other similar stoves is only 101 inches. So on rdl through the different sizes, making to the purchaser a saving of $2 to $6 in each stove, according to size. Examine them at F. G. FRANCISCUS'. The AVatkins (Schuylkill eo., N. Y.)

Hurlbut, one of our most intimate and highly esteemed personal friends, has taken up his residence in the nourishing town of Lewistown, Pa., where, we un dcrstand, he is now practicing his profes sion. We became acquainted with Dr. Hurlbut in the village of Glean, N. Y., w here, as a practicing physician and sur geon, he earned an enviable reputation for skill in his profession, and attained an extensive and lucrative practice. As our family physician, we learned to esteem him not alum for his.superior professional abilit i-, but for his estimable moral and serial virtues. His solicitude for, and fi delity to his patients, were most remark able, and these qualities, together with his onterprize, liberality and reliability as a ritizen and man, endeared him to a wide circle of patrons and friends. We commend him to the good people of Lew- F town, as an experienced and skillful physician, and an upright and true man, worthy of their con tide nee and patronage. For the Gazette. Kisliacoquillns Seminary. I he summer session of the Kishaco quiilas Seminary closed on Tuesday even ing. S.i pteniler 10. The last two days were devoted to examinations, which were largely attended, and evinced a de grec of thoroughness highly commenda ble to both teachers and students. On the ening of the last day a contest between the two literary societies connected with the institution was held in the grove of •r. U. lay lor, near the Seminary. The , x " r ''i- s consisted of rival declamations, i ( original orations, debates, and the reeling of manuscript papers, ititerspers with lively vocal and instrumental. iiuiMe The performances, in theestima-i ion of many competent judges, were of a j Higher order of excellence than usual, and reni'i'tci) much credit on those who parti ' •pated iu them. The tasteful manner in w nii-h the stage was ornamented withev 'go-en Ul|, i flowers, for which thanks are cue to the ladies, added much to the I li ferent of the occasion. On the whole this contest was a decided success, and produ ced a favorable impression on the unusu ally large audience assembled. The scs !"'oii ju>t closed was more than ordinarily Rjere.-fni, am j Highly satisfactory to the -'Gents, who, as an evidence of their ap preciation of the services of the principal, f*\' and the uniform kindness of Mr>.

The barn on the farm of Peter Ripple, ; Cromwell township, Huntingdon county, recently sold to George Quarry, was de- : stroved by lightning on the 28th. Isaac AValls, the tenant, lost his share of the crop ami some farming utensils.

XL London _ ID alher- ITydc Park—The Tow er—A'rnso' Green Cemetery—Hampton Court— E'linburtj—AbboUford, etc. EuiNiiUKG, Aug. 15, 1867. After rather a rough passage across the channel, we got back to London a week ago, and while there experienced some genuine London weather, frigid and fog gy. \\ e passed the time very pleasantly, however, in sight-seeing. On the afternoon of the Bth wo visited Hyde Park. The drive is a beautiful one, but ttie park is very common place. AYc were much more pleased with Battersea Park, which borders on the Thames, and presents the appearance of a magnificent flower garden. At another time we went to the famous London Tower, where, among many other interesting things, we saw the "Bloody Tower" in which the two chil dren of Edward the Fourth were smoth ered to death. AVe satisfied our curiosity, also, by walking across the Thames Tun nel, passing underneath the bed of the river and back again. AVestminter Ab- U-y, St. Paul's Cathedral, the British Museum, and the Parliament House are | points which at different times we visited, but which I have not time now to de scribe. One afternoon was spent in Ivensal Green Cemetery, where we saw the tombs of Thomas Hood, the poet, Sir John Ross, Anne Scott, daughter of Sir Walter, Rev. i Sidney Smith, W. M. Thackery, and others. Returning from the Cemetery late in the evening, we had a line view of! London by gas and moonlight. 1 n visiting some other burying grounds, we saw the last resting places of many whose names are familiar in history, such as John Wesley, founder of the Method-' ists; George Fox, founder of the Quakers;! John Bunyan, author of the "Pilgrim's 1 Progress," and Isaac Watts, who is liest known to the rising generation as the au thor of the "Busy Bee," and to all Chris tendom by the hymns which hecoinposed. I was very much interested in Hamp ton Court, a place of historical note. It is about thirteen miles from Loudon. — While here we visited the "Viuery," where we saw a grape vine 99 years ofd. I t is of prodigious size, and yields 3iM)O bunches of grapes in a single season. The grounds contain a Maze, also, composed of shrubbery so arranged that when voti j once get in it is almost impossible to find your way out. A\ e arrived here day before yesterdav, l after a hot and dusty ride from Liverpool! j Indeed, the weather of the last few days! has been the warmest we have experienced since we left home. Edinburg is a very j beautiful city, containing many hand some streets and buildings, parks and monuments. Since we have been here we have feasted upon delicious strawber ries, of extraordinary size and liavor.— j AVe have visited a number of interesting! points here, among them the house in which John Knox, the Scotch Reformer, lived; Holy Rood Palace, which the an cient kings of Scotland occupied; Scott's and Burns' monuments, the Castle, etc. To-day we made an excursion to Mel rose Abbey, a picturesque church ruin, and from thence to Abbots ford, Sir Wal- j ter Scott's residence. The old mansion is still pervaded by an air of neatness and comfort, reminding one of the genial old man wlio once occupied it. We were shown through the principal rooms, the i Library, Study, Armory, and Hall, in all j of which the very books and furniture; used by Sir Walter are stijl preserved. Adjoining the study is a small room called ' Speak-a-bit," from which he spoke j through a window to persons outside We were also shown his "body clothes," i worn before his last sickness, consisting ; of a g-eon coat, plaid pants, striped vest,' and white hat. After leaving Abbotsford, we repaired to Dry burg Abbey, the birthplace of Sir' \A alter Scott. It is a fine old ruin, cov ered in places with moss and ivy, situated in a woody district, around which the! river T weed sweeps inost beau ti fu I ly. We remained here to enjoy the scene as long as we could, and then returned to our quarters in the Hotel Edinburg. To-morrow we leave for Glasgow, from which point we expect to make small ex cursions to the various lakes around.— From thence we will cross over to Belfast, in Ireland, and visit the Giant's Cause way, and then push on to Dublin and Cork. At Queenstown we will take the steamer for home. This will be my last letter from this side of the Atlantic, and about the time I shall bo saying "good-bye" to your readers, I will be greeting the friends whom I expect soon to meet.
