Those wishing to obtain a knowledge of music are invited toattend. try* The Rev. John Anderson, of the M. E. Church, well known and much re spect j1 in this county, was stricken with apoplexy at Snydertown on the evening of tin- loth September, and after lingering until Tuesday following, was gathered to his fathers. Mr. Auderson was stationed at Suubury, and on the day when prostra ted iiad preached three times. He was a kind and benevolent man, a plain-spoken and devout christian, an exemplary citi zen, and now after a long and eventful life, during which he served his Lord and Master with fervent zeal from the day of his remarkable conversion, hehasentorcd on i hat reward provided for those of whom it can be said "Well done, good and faith ful servant." In referring to his conver sion as remarkable, it may not be amiss to relate the story its we heard it. It is said he was what is called a bad man in nearly every respect, and after pursuing this course for years he one day approached a house where a mother was severely reprimanding a child, and among other observations said, "If you will not alter your life you'll be as bad as John Ander son!" Mr. A. retired in confusion with out being seen, but that simple barbed arrow had entered his soul, and from that hour John Anderson was a changed man, had awakened to the reality that profane, vicious and wicked conduct was not man's alloted sphere on earth, but that higher, more noble, and loftier attributes only needed culture to make him a little lower than the augels. He was aged 63 years. Death-Bed Confession. —A woman named Maria Berrymau, aged probably 40 or 4.3 years, died at the Poor House a few weeks ago. concerning whom various exaggera ted reports haye been in circulation as to the confession of murder she should have made. Common report stated that she had admitted having poisoned a daughter of one of our citizens several years ago, but this is not so. We learn from an au thentic source that the confession she made to a young man and woman who had been setting up and waiting uj>on her the day before her death, was in sub stance that she had poisoned a little girl about three years of age, an illegitimate daughter of her own, whom she had at tributed to a young man, but whom she subsequently, at least in part, exonerated, and gave as her motive that she did not want to be bothered with the child, tehe a!.-o expressed much contrition for her conduct to her father, whom, to use her' own words, she had treated very badly ; and also dated that on the following day slie would tell them something more. 1 he morning however passed away with out any further communication, and to ward the middle of the day she became senseless, and thus died—ending her life, like thousands of others, with an acquired knowledge, at too late an hour, that "the way of the transgressor is hard." A Snake Story. —The Harrisburg Tele graph tells the following whopper about a -mike said to have been seen by a former re-, lent of I.ewistown. It says: "Mr. I'eter Altmire, of our city, one day last week, while gunning in the mountains back of Xew]xrt, came in contact with a -nuke over thirty feet in length. His Miukeship carried his head four or five frt from the ground. Mr. A. fired at the monster while passing him, and the, shot rebounded as if i, had been an ludia r C,LT hull. Other citizens were with Mr., Altmire, and vouch for the truth of the: .'move. The snake after being shot at ran d'wn the side of the embankment, cans inc a fearful crash of everything with wlu'.-h he came in contact."

Bun Off.—On Tuesday evening of last week the horse attached to a carriage con-\ j tain lug William Bingham and Joseph |Tice, (the former of Snyder e0.,) seared ! at a broken cart lying in Market street, and jumping aside, broke oif the axle : precipitating both men out, and slightly j injuring them.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The Secretary of State has received the following: * U. S. LEGATION, THE HABUE, Sept. 6, | 1867.— Sir: A statement appeared some time since in an American paper, to the etiect that the minister at the Hague had confirmed a report that $75,000,0.U had been lull in Holland to t be descendants of one Hans Graff. In answer to the marly letters received on the subject, I have made inquiry and 11 ud no foundation for the rumor. Some of the writers state that their ancestors owned a large estate in a■ certain part of Baden, which was courts-! eated during a religious persecution, and that the government was prepared to re fund. The minister of Baden informs niei that no such persecution and confiscation | ever occurred, and that the records show that, ai the time and place specified, one Hans Graff was in possession of a farm as tenant, but held no estate in fee. As I am advised that in many parts of the country money is being laid out by the family, and i find it impossible to continue to notice their numerous letteis, I beg to suggest that .such publication la; author ized bv tlie Department as will answer; their inquiries aud save them further ex pend itu res. j 1 have the honor to he, with great re spect, your obedient servant, HUGH EWIXG. It is now supposed the estate is located in some other part of Europe. .Neighboring Counties. Two horses belonging to David Bird, captain of tiie canal boat "Carrie," ofj Newport, l'a., were stolen at Wrightsville on Monday night a week. Francis Koch, of West Beaver twp., Snyder county, met with an accident I which resulted in the loss of several fin-1 gers, having them cut off by coming in : contact with a circular saw, at which Mr. j Koch was working. On Sunday, the 14th inst., the barn on ! the premises of Rev. John Kreiuer, in Rye township, Perry co., was destroyed | by lire, together with the entire crop of! grain, threshing machine, barn mill and I wagon gears. All the horses aud mules! were taken out in time to save them with ! the exception of one mule. On the 20th ult., the barn of Mr. David \ Goehiiour, some two miles ami a half west of Sarah Furnace, Blair county, was : struck by lightning and burned to the| ground, with all its con tens. The loss isj aliout $2,000. No insurance. On Thursday evening, the 19th ult, a! young man ly the name of Win.

He rose and walked j a short distance to his home, and told his | mother to send for a physician, that he I was unwell. Before hisarrivul the young man wi s dead, the fall haviug produced a concussion of the brain, resulting ru death. A distressing accident occurred on Thursday morning in the immediate vi jcinity of the borough of Gratztown, i)au-| ' phin county, it seems that Mr. Henry! Walborn and M r.

VLI> the important Stove Improvements of the age can now be found at the Big Coffee Pot Sign. By looking over our list you can see that we have all the latest and choicest stoves of the day. The latest and first Cookstove we bring to your uotice is S.E37IASSR, I „ Extra fieavy a - d large. The oven in num ber 7 is as large as number 8 of any other i ! stove, and it has no projection or low place ! in tho front part of oven: it has also a revol ving top, by which means you can move your pots or boiler off or over the fire with out lifting them and thereby prevent the es cape of either gas or smoke in the room. But the greatest stove of the day, on ac ' count of the many conveniences, is James j Spear's ANTI-DUST, GAS BURNER Cooking Stove, ' j which is preferred even before a range. You ; can have?, by the hot water attachment, hot I and cold water up stairs; it also separates the ; unburnt coal from the ashes without dust or dirt in the house; the centre plates are all 1 double, with the air passing through them; it is a perfect baker, and a tip top stove in eve ; ry respect. Our next Cook is the REGULATOR, j plain top, with feeder front. This is the same as the other except the top. And last, but not least, is tho COMBINATION COOK, | a stove that we have been selling for six | years, and the sale of them is increasing ev- ' ery day. 'Tis a stove we put against the world for baking purposes; it takes but little fuel, and is a plain, substantial stove, 1)2)3 9mm Y/U'm, Almost everybody has heard of Jas. Spear's i ANXI DUST, GAS-BURNER, PAIt LOlt STOVES. For beauty, economy, and durability they I i stand second to none, and for cleanliness I there is none to equal them; they only need j to be seen to be appreciated. We have also Spear's Anti Dust Parlor EGG STOVE, just new, and pretty. And we have the stoves that we suppose are going to set the world on tire, —the Morning Glory, & ORIENTAL, AND THE ORIENTAL HEATER Our stock of STORE and OFFICE STOVES is complete—new pattern, wood, etc., —and in order that everybody can have a stove, we are now manufacturing out of genuine Rus sia Iron a new PARLOR GAS BURNER stove, called the BOX TON; and to all those who wish to heat an upper and lower room with one stove, I would say, call aud see J. j IRVIN W A I.LIS'S Parlor Heater. I have now improved and completed my 1 Parlor Heater. With this stove you can per fectly heat up and down stairs at will, and ! their cost is cot ono third that of any other Heater. There, is no mistake about it, and 1 1 ask no pay until you are perfectly satisfied it will do as represented. And since lam de termined to render satisfaction to all my cus j turners, I have brought from Philadelphia one of the b<~st mechanics in the country, and | we intend this season to give special atten i tion to furnishing off and putting up all our stoves. We have been compelled, in order to supply the increasing demand for our stoves, to lease another building, on Brown street, in which we have a large stock of STOVES, j P. S. We will receive in a few days a large stock of HousefurnishiDg Goods, At the Big Coffee Pot Sign. Lewistown, Sept. 25. 1867 Experience Proves there are only Two YALLAELE Machine Stitches: on mm h Mm ELASTIC STITCH AND THE SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCII, rrUF. Grover k Baker Elastic-Stitch Sewing Machines ! L ire superior to all others tor the following reasons: | 1. They sew ilireet from tho spools, and require no j rewinding of thread. 2. They ate more easily understood and used, and j less liable to derangement than other machines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment,* much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these iTmehtnes is much more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to he washed and tioned, than any other stitch. 5 This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in use, and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequently washed and ironed until they are worn out. 6. The structure of the seam is such that though it j he cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it j will neither open, run, or ravel, hut remains tirm aud j durable. 7. t'nlike other machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, white silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on uoothei machine, and is a great saving upon ail articles stitch ed or made up with silk. 9. l'licse machines, in addition to their superior" merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of ad justment. easily learned aud practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna mental work.
