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." We have

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.

Tho beautiful Piano Fortes of GKOVESTCKX & Co. are

We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu

to admit that tiie limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they hail submitted them to compe

country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is hutjustice to say t nut the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in

achieved the paradox of making excellence more

These AVorld-lCenoxv lied Machines
Were awarded the highest premium at the World's Fair,

State fair, of 1800, anil are
Celebrated for doing the tiesi work, using a much
smaller needle for the same thread, than any other
machine, and by the introduction of the most appro
ved machinery, we arc now able to supply the very
best machines in the world.
These Machines are made, at our neic
and spacious Factory at Bridgeport, Con
necticut, under the immediate supervision
of the .President of' the Company, Flint
Howe, jr., the Original Inventor of the
Sewing Machine.
j They are adapted to all kinds of Family Sewing.
' and to the use of Seamstresses, Dressmakers, Tail
; ITS. Manufacturers of Shirts, Collars, skirts. Cloaks,
i Mantillas, Clothing. Hilts. Cups. Corsets. Boots. Shoes,
j Harness, Saddles. Linen Goods, Umbrellas, Parasols,
; etc. They work equally well upon silk, linen, woolen
■ and cotton goods, with silk, cotton or linen thread.
| They will seam, quilt, gather, hem-fell, cord, braid.
; bind, and perform every species of,•wing, making a
j perfect and beautiful stitch, alike onboth sides of the
i article sowed.
Tire Stitch Invented by Mr. HOWE, and
I made on tins machine, is the inosi popular and dura
ble, and all Sewing Machines are subject to the prin

STOVES! STOVES! STOVES!
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.

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.
