Gov- Curtin.
On last Friday evening our gallant
Governor, arrived in our town, where he came for
the purpose of recruiting his hoalth, which has
been mnch impaired by the close attention he has
paid to themany andarduous duties which devo've
upon him iu his present responsible position
No Govern or of any State has ever had more la
bor to perform and more difficulties to contend
with, than has Gov. Curtin during the short
time he has oecupied the position of Chief Execu
tive of the Keystone State. AVhen ho assumed
the responsibilities of Governor and seized the
reins of Government, he found the State on an
admirable "peace footing," prepared only to en
joy tho peace and happiness which had so long
been our portion. And, when soon after, a call
came for 15,000 men from Pennsylvania, to pro
tect the city of Washington, ; then it was that
our Governor was obliged to spend sleepless nights
and days of labor, regardless of his personal wel
fare and conifurt. How unceasingly he labored —
bow zealously he toiled ; how he bent all his en
ergies to raise tho men and means to respond to
the call of ths Government. The call was an
swered ! Another call came, and still another;
They are all answered, with a readiness which
speaks volumes in favor of the energy and ability
of our noble Governor. Little do we know what
amount of labor was required to raise and equip
and feed the large number of soldiers which was
required at the hands of Gov. Curtin. We can
not form an idea of the amount of labor which he
has porformed since his i nauguration. Yet not
withstanding all his labor and all his untiring
zeal, there were those found who were willing to
charge upouhim sins of other men, and make him
responsible for the frauds committed by greedy
contractors. But he has came out of all these
charges of corruption with clear skirts, and now
stands high above his slanderers. We are proud
of him ! We are proud that he is our fellow
.citizm and at tho same time one of the first and
greatest men of the nation.
Upon his arrival in our town, Gov. Curtin stop,
ped with Wm. P. Wilson, Esq , at whose residence
he was visited by a large crowd of our citizcn g
arid the Band, on Friday evening. Upon the ar.
rival of the procession, tho Governor made his
appearance, and was publicly welcomed, on be
half of tho crowd, by 11. N. McAllister, Esq., in
a most appropriate speech. The Governor then
ascended tho stand, amid tho most vociferous
cheering, and delivered such a speech as Govern
or Curtiu only can make. We will not attempt to
report it; for we could not do the speaker
We wish ail our readers could have heard it. We
visit all our readers could have .-een him.
On Monday Gov. Curtin returned to the scene
of his labor.
The Coming Winter and the Poor.
Winter is always
a terror to the poor. By "the poor" we da not
moan those who have comfortable homes and an
abundance of the necessaries of life, a d who com
plain and call themselves poor, because the times
arc hard and they cannot speculate, and do busi
ness on as grand a scale as they did when times
wore good and money plenty. We have too many
of this kind in our owu midst, and tbiy would do
well to be thankful for what they have, lest a
time come when they shall have reason to com
plain. When we say the poor ire mean such as
are really poor ; men who have to support them
ee.ves and their families b, daily labor, and who
are out of employment and can get none, and
whose families are now suffering or are likely to
suffer for want of food, and who from their ina
bility to pay ent, shall bo turned out to contend
with the biting frosts and the piercing winds oi
Winter; such ere the really pour. God only
knows what will become of such during the ap
proaching Winter. With this Winter will come
terrors to them never before known in this land.
Never has so many been thrown out of employ
ment by the stopping of manufactories of different
kinds ; never before have the horrors of civil war
visited us, throwing the whole country -into con
vulsions and drawing the attention of the humane
from the suffering poor to the condition of our ar
my ; rever has the merchant been so unwilling
to sell lis goods to the poor, who for want of the
means with which to pay for them are obliged tc
ask credit at his hands.; never has the employer
of those who now have work, been so unwilling
or so unable to pay his employees, promptly, and
at fiiir rates. And all these things, now, are
comparatively light to what they will he when
Winter shall set in, in earnest--when the very
fountains of nature shall appear to be frozen up.
God eave the poor ! God save the rich ! Save the
poor from wait and starvation! Save the rich
from selfishness ! Help the poor to remember that
God is the friend of those who trust in him !
Help the rich to remember that their riches were
not given them to hoard away while fellow-beings
are shivering with cold and dying of starvation !
God help us all to do our duty ; to alleviate as far
as possible the sufferings of the unfoTtunate ! 0,
how we wish for a fortune, without the pr'de, sel
fishness, and miserly spirit, which usually come
with it. But we can all do something for the poor.
We have them in ourjn idst ; every neighborhood
hag them. Lei us do our duty !
Death by Fire.
On Monday evening the 7th instant,
an accid nt happened in this place which has
oaused the death of an old female resident, named
Mrs. Nancy Higgftis. The old lady was almost
helpless, from age. Her supper was carried to
her room and while she was eating, her attendant
repaired to another part of the house. When she
returned she found tho old lady with the candle
upon her knee, her clothes in a flame and portions
of her body burned to a crisp. She lived in sgony
until Thursday morning, when death put an end
to her sufferings.
Rev. Odillo Vondergreen-
The above named Reverend
Gentlemen, has keen induced, in consequence of
ill health, to leave Bellefonte and accept a call
from Covington, Ky. By this the Catholic eon
gregation in this town, loses a worthy and effi
eieut pastor, and the community agood and loyal
member. Since the breaking out of the rebellion
Rev Vondergreen has been among the most active
of cur citizens, in rendering aid to the govern
ment, not only by encouraging others to go into
the service of their country, but by offering to go
himself.
A Splendid Revolver.
One of the finest specimens of
"homo manufacture" we have ever seen was
shown us the other day, by F. P. Green, of this
town. It is a Colt's Improved Revolver, manu
factured by Joseph Reed, a machinest, in Miles
burg. The barrel is of the finest steel, the iron
used was taken from the mines of old Centre. It
is most handsomely finished, and throws a ball
with great force and accuracy. Would it not be
a fine present for Gen. McClellan ?
Our Knitting Association.
We are glad that the
Knitting Association in our town is in active op
eration. We hope that societies will be formed in
every place where they do not already exist, and
that a good report may be madeof Centre county.
There seems to be a misunderstanding in regard
to who recoives the money for the socks. The
money is paid to the Treasurer of the Society, to
be applied to the Soldiers' Relief Fund. The
general impression appears te be that the money
was to be paid to the County Treasurer. This is
a mistake, howet er.
Some person who pretends to know all about
knitting has written a communication for the
Philadelphia Press, which may be interesting to
our lady readers. The following is the communi
cation :
"How TO KNIT SOLDIERS' STOCKINGS.
Mr. Editor : As our patriotic ladies are at pres
ent busily engaged in knittiDg socks for our vol
teers, and, as very many more would gladly do
the same, but are prevented from want of proper
knowledge, will yon oblige an experienced knit
ter by giving insertion to the accompanying di
rections, and thus ading in the good work ?
Set up twenty-eightor thirty stitches on a needle;
rib two inches ; knit plain seven inches before
setting tho heel ; form the heel by knitting twen
ty-three inches each side of the seam, taking off
the first stitch without knitting; length of heel,
before narrowing, three inches ; narrow the heel
by knittiDg ten inches plain knit two together;
knit plain to within three of tha ssum ; knit two
together ; one plain, and turn the seam ; knit
one plain, slip and bind one stitch ; knit plain to
within twelve of the end of the needle, slip and
bind ; knit ten plain; knit back plain ; knit thus
until tha narrowings meet ; knit back on wrong
side to seam; then double together on the wroDg
side ; knit two together and bind off to one stitch;
take up the loops to the lef; hand, and knit five
stitches off the instep needle cn to that one ;
knit eff the instep needle, and take five off the
other end, to add to the other side of the heel,
and then take up the loops ; knit one round all
plain ; knit three stitches and widen, by taking
up a loop between all across, to within seven, of
the end of the nocdie ; then narrow on the first
side, by knitting two together, and knit off five
plain ; kuit instep neeuie plain ; knit five, and
narrow on the last needle by slipping and bind
ing one stitch ; ihcn widen as before, but only
this one round. Now narrow ev ry other round
as before, until you have twenty-four stitches on
a needle ; knit plain for four inches ; narrow the
toe on the needle to the left of instep needle, by
knifing one plain slip and bind ; then knit plain
to within three stitches of the end of the needle ;
knit two together and one plain : knit thus on
each needle ; knit three rounus plain, then nar
row as before, knitting three plain rounds between
each narrowjng ; then knit two rounds between,
to twelve stitches on each ncedlo ; narrow every
other round to the close."
Perhaps tho ladies will he able to understand
tho above ; to us it is very clear, indeed.
Ail Axe Contract.
Mr. Harvey Man has taken a
Government contract for furnishing a large num
ber of aimy axes. This is right. Centre county
has sent a great number of her sous into tho ar
my, and it is right that she .-hould come in for a
share of tho gorernm'nt patronage. Better axes
than those manufactured by Mr. Mann, cannotbo
found AA'e are informed thero is a largo force of
workmen engaged ou these axes, in order to fill
the contra-t as socn as pogsible.
Attempt at Robbery.
On Monday night, two color
ed boys effected an entrance into the cellar of the
store of May A Leoh, by cutting the bars of the
window. They then a-cendeil the inside cellar
way and bored several holes in the doer, with a
view to remove the fastening, and get into the
principal room. In this they wera unsuccessful.
The next commenced operabous upon thecontents
of the cellar and succeeded in getting out some
sugar, when they wore discovered, arrested and
confined in jail.
Burnsiaes' Emporium
Uur readers will be glad to lear t
that notwithstanding the hard times, Thus. Burn
sides still keeps on hand a large supply of Leath
er, Boots and shoes, bats and caps, t unks, gloves
and, indeed so many things that we cannot stop
to cnum- rate them. He recceived, this week,
from the city a most splended .stock of the above
articles. Call and examine.
Bankets for Our Army
Mr. Kendall of the Spring
Creek AA'oolen Factory, has received from the Gov
ernment a sample of tho army blanket, with the
notice that he wuu.d receive, from tho Govern
ment, S6,AO per pair for all the blankets ho can
make, coming up to the sample. This is a good
factory and Mr. Kendall is just the man to make
blankets for the sohliers, for ho is honest, and will
make them right. Let the wool growers bring iu
the material.
Robbery-
Some person or persous entered the cellar
of Mrs. Lipton of Milesburg, on last Saturday
night, and took therefrom every thing eatable.
If we are not misinformed, the articles taken are
twelve bushels of potatoes, five bushels of apples,
•five loaves of bread, five pies, a basket of cakes
thirtoen cans of fruit and all the milk and cream
in the cellar. If one man got all this it is not
particular whether he has employment this AVin
ter, or not-
Narrow Escape.
AA'e aro informed that our friend
Spear Gillilanri made a very narrow escape, while
on a hunting expedition, a few days since. His
gun was accidentally discharged, contents passing
through his hat rim, in close proximity with his
head. AVe consider that close shooting; but a
" miss is as good as a mile" in this case, surely.
Removed to New Orleans.
AVe are informed that
among a number ef the Richmond prisoners, who
were recently removed from that place to New
Orleans, is Lieut. Hutchinson of this county, a
member of Capt. Hess' unfortunate comp any.
Blankets and Socks.
AA'e are informed that the Gov
ernment has advanced the price of army blankets
and socks. The price of blankets is now $6,50
per pair, and the price of socks is 27 cents.

Pur unto tin, Diseases of the Bowel*,
at i*irig from Cold, Incipient Cnusumjttion, and
fur the relief and (if at all possible)
cure of Patients in adcanced
stages of the latter
disease.
THE Balsamic Cordial is entirely a Vegetable
prhduction, combining the healing proper
lies of the Balsam, with the invigorating quali
ties of a Cordial, producing a combination so well
adapted to the purpose intendedf that there are
but few cases of diseases which will not, at an
early period, succumb to its healing and life giv
ing proj erties.
For ages, has the treatment of pnlmonatv dis
eases occupied the greater portion of the attentios
of the scientific of the medical world, but none
acquiied more eminence in his treatment of these
diseases, than the celebratsd Prussian Dr. Hoof
land, the originator of the Balsamic Cordial. His
life was devoted to the production of remedies that
would stand udrivalled. How well he has suc
ceeded, the American people are able to judge :
and we positively assert, that no preparations that
have ever been placed before theui, have confer
red the samo amount of benefits on suffering hu
manity, or have elicited so many commendations
from all classes of society, as the remedies of Dr.
Hoofland, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jockson <fc Co.,
of Philadelphia.
The Cordial is designed for a class of diseases
more general and more fatal than any other to
which the people of this country are subject—
those springihg from a " slight cold " That emi
nent authority, Dr. Bell, says: " I will not say
that Colds are to our inhabitants what the Plague
and Yellow Fever are to those of other countries ;
but I can aver confidently that they usher in dis
ease of greoter complicity and mortality than
these latter."

BALSAMIC CORDIAL.

number, might be given from ladies and gen
tlemen in all grades of society, whose united tes
timony none could resist, that Prof. Wood's Hair
Restorative will restore-the bald and gray, and
preserve the hair of the youth to old age, in all
its youthful beauty.
Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 21st, 1858.
PROF. WOOD:—Thee wilt please accept a line to
inform thee that the hair on my head all fell off
over twenty years ago, caused by a complicated
chronic disease, attended with an eruption on the
head. A continual course of suffering through
life having reduced me to a state of dependence,
I have not been able to abtain stuff for caps,
neither have I been able to do them up, in conse
quence of which my head has suffered extremely
from cold. This induced me to pay Briggs <fc
Hodges almost the last cer.t I had on earth for a
two dollar botile of thy Hair Restorative about
tbe first of August last. I have faithfully follow
ed the directions and the ba'dspot is now covered
with hair thick and black, though short, it is also
coming in all over my head. Feeling confident
tl at another large bottle would restore it. entirely
and permanently, I feel anxious to persevere in
its use, and being destitute of mejns te purchase
any more, I would ask thee if thee wouldst not be
willing to send me an order on thine agents 'or a
bottle, and receive to thyself the scripture decla
ration —" tbe reward i; to those that ore kind to
the widow and the fatherless."

PROF. 0. J. WOOD : Dear Sir:—ln the latter
part of the year 1852, while attending the Stats
and National Law School of the State of New
York, my hair, frcin a causo unknown to me, com
menced falling off very rapidly, so that in the
short space of six months, the whole upper part of
my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, ami much of the remaining portion upon the
side and back part of my bead short'y after be
came gray, so that you will not be surprised when
I tell you that upon my return to the State of In
diana, my more casual acquaintances were not so
much at a loss to discover the cause of tbe change
in my appearance, as my more intimate acquain
ces were to recognize me at all.
I at once made application to the most skillful
physicians in the country, but, receiving no as
surance from them that my hair could again bo
restored. I was forced to become reconciled to my
fate, until, fortunately, in tbe latter part of tho
year 1557, your Restorative was recommended to
me by a druggist, as being tha most reliable Hair
Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found
fo my great satisfaction that it was producing the
desired effect. Since that time, I have used seven
dollars' worth of your Restorative, and as a re
sult, have a rich coat of very soft black hair,
which no money can buy.
As a mark of my gratitude for your labor and
skill in tbe production of so wonderful an article,
I have recommended its use to many of my friends
and acquaintances, who, I am happy to inform
you, are using it with like effect. Very respect
fully. yours, A. M. LATTA,
Attorney and Counsellor at Law.

Sarsaparilla
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
Ami for the ppeedy cure of the following complaint*3 !
Scrofulaaud Scrofulous Afrcctious,sucU j
an Tumors, Ulcers, Sores, Eruptions,
Pimples, Pustules, Hlotclics, Boils,
Blaius, and all Sit in Diseases.
OAKLAND, Iml., 6th June, 1859.
J. C. Aykti & Co. Gents: I feel it eiy duty to ae.
knowledge what your Sarsaparilla has done for me.
Having inherited a Scrofulous infection, I have suffered
lroin it in various ways for years. Sometimes it burs I
out in Ulcers ou my hands and arms; sometimes it
turned Inward and distressed me at the stomach. Two
years ago it broke out on my head and covered my scalp
and earn with one sore, which WHS painful and loathsome
beyond description. 1 tried many medicines ami several
physicians, but without much relief from any thing. In !
fact, the disorder grew worse. At length I was rejoiced J
to read in the Gospel .Messenger that you had prepared
An alterative (SarsupariiJn), for 1 knew from your reputa- j
\iou that any thing you made must be good. 1 sent to j
Cincinnati and got it, and used it till it cured me. 1 took
it, as you advise, in small doses of a teaspoonful over a
month, ami used almost three bottles. New and healthy i
skin soon began to form under the scab, which altera i
while fell off. My skill is now clear, and I know by my
feelings that the disease has gone from my system. You j
can well believe that I feel what I am saying when I toll
you, that 1 hold you to be one of the ayostloa of the age,
and remain ever gratefully. Yours,
A I, bit ED 15. T ALLEY.
St. Anthony's Fire. Hose or Erysipelas,

Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Dropsy.
Dr. Robert M. Preble writes from Salem, N. Y., 12th
Sept., 1859, that ho has cured an inveterate case of j
Dropsyy which threatened to terminate fatally, by the
persevering use of our Sarsaparilla, and also a duugerous 1
Malignant Erysipelas ly large doses of the same; saya '
he cures the common Eruptions by it constantly.
Bronchoctle, Goitre or Swelled Neck.
Zebu lon Sloan of Prospect, Texas, writes : "Three hot- 1
ties of your Sarsaparilla cured me from a Go&rt a hid- J
eons swelling on the neck, which 1 had suffered from i
over two yours."
Beucorrhoea or White*, Ovarian Tumor,
Uterine Ulceration, Female Discuses. j
Dr. J B. S. Outlining, of New York City, writes ; " I
most cheerfully comply with the request of your agent in !
saying I have found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent
alterative in the numerous complaints for which w<
employ such a remedy, hut especially in Fbnale Disease:
of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter
ate cases of Leucorrhoea by it, and some whore the com
plaint was caused by ulceration of the uterus . The ulcer
ation iteelf was soon cured. Nothing within my kuowl
edge oquals it for these feuiule derangements."
Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, Ala., writes, "A dun
gerous ovarian tumor on one of the females In my family,
which had deffed all the remedies we could employ, hat
at length been completely cured by your Extract of Sar.
eaparilla. Our physician thought nothing hut extirpa
tion could afford relief, but be advised the trial of you.
Sarsaparilla as tho last resort before cutting, and it
proved effectual. After faking your remedy eight weeks
no symptom of tho disease remains."
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease.
% KEW ORLEANS, 25th August, 1859.
DR. J. C. ATBR : Fir, I cheerfully comply with the re
quest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects
I have realized with your Sarsaparilla.
1 have cured with it, in my practice, most of the com
plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its
effects truly wonderful in the cure of Venereal and Mer
curial Disease . One of my patients had Syphilitic ulcers
in his throat, which were consuming his palate and tho
top of his month. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken, 1
cured him in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec
ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration had
eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe tho
disorder would soon reach his brain and kill him. But it
yielded to my administration of your Sartmporilla; the
ulcers healed, and he is well again, not of course without
some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been
treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering
from this poison in her hones. They had become so sen
sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex
cruciating pain in her joints and bones, fche, tco, wus 1
cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. I
know from its formula, which your agent gave me, that |
this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great j
remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results
with it have not surprised me.
Fraternally yours, G. V. LARIMER, 51. D.
Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint.
INDEPENDENCE, Preston Co., Vn.. 6th July, 1859.
Da. J. C. AVER: Sir, 1 have been afflicted with a pain- j
hil chronic Rheumatism for a long time, which baffled the !
skill of physicians, and stuck to me in spite of all the
remedioa I could find, until I tried your Sarsaparilla. One j
bottle cured me in two weeks, and restored my general j
health so much that 1 am far better than before 1 was
attacked. 1 think it a wonderful medicine. J. FKLAM.
Jules Y. Getchell, of St. Louis, writes: "I have been
afflicted for years with an affection of the Liver , which
destroyed my health. I tried every thing, and every thing
failed to relieve me; and I have been a broken-down man
for some years from no other cause than derangement of
the Liver. My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. Espy, advised
me to try your Sarsaparilla, because he said lie knew you,
Riid any thing you made was worth trying. By the bless
ing of God it has cured me, and has so purified my blood
as to make a now man of me. I feel young again. Tho
beet that can be said of you is not half good enough."
Scliirrus,Cancer Tumors, Enlargement,
Ulceration, Caries and Exfoliation of
tike Bones.
A great variety of rages have been reported to us where
cures of those formidable complaints have resulted from
the use of this remedy, but our space here will not admit
them. Some of them may ha found iu our American
Almanac, which the ageuts below named are pleased to
furnish gratis to all who call for tliem.
Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilep
sy, Melancholy, Neuralgia
Many remarkable cures of these affections have been
made by tho alterative power of this medicine. It stimu
lates the vital functions into vigorous action, and thus
overcomes disorders which would be supposed beyond its
reach. Such a remedy has long been required by the ne
cessities of the people, and we are coufideut that this will
do for them ail that modicine can do.

Thl 1 a remedy so universally known to surpass any
other for the cure of throat mid lung complaints, that it
is useless here to publish the evidence of its virtues. Its '
unrivalled excellence for coughs and colds, and its truly
wonderful cures of pulmonary disease, have made it
known throughout the civilized nations of the earth.
Few are the communities, or eveu families, among tin w
who have not some personal experience of its etfec ts
some living trophy in their midst of its victory over tho
subtle and dangerous disorders of the throat and lungs.
As all know the dreadful fatality of these, disorders, and
ss they know, too,-the effects of this remedy, we need not
do more than to assure them that it lias now all tho vir
tues that it did have when making the cures which have
won so strongly upon the confidence of mankind.
