MUSICAL CONVENTION.—A Musical Conven
tion will be held at Athens, commencing on
the 20th iust., to be under the direction of
l'rof. T. J. COOK of New York, to continue
three days and close with a Grand Concert.—
The conventions held at this place have satis

prove an equally pleasant and profitable re

T HE STATE CANVASS. —Judge WILMOT is do
ing yeoman's service in his canvass of the
< ta te. During the past wetk he has spoken
in Indiana, Johnstown, Clearfield, Bellefoute,
Lewistown, Mifflin and Duncannon, and
everywhere the meetings have been large and
spirited, and he has made hosts of friends.—
\ fine feeling prevails, and every day his pro
spects of election are brightening. If the
Kastern and Southern counties but do their du
ty his election will be certain.
l*p then to work ! and let every friend of
human freedom, every opponent of Locofoco
ism.do hi* whole duty. l)ou't be deceived by the
• wolves in sheeps clothing," who are election
eering for the straight-out ticket. Remember
that every vote cast for that ticket is a vote
vast indirectly for the Locofoco candidates.—
Xo true American, therefore, who desires the
defeat of Locofocoism, can thus cast his vote,
and retain his consistency. Let there be,
then, a united energetic and determined rally
for the UNION TICKET, and victory will
perch upon our banner. "Up Guards, and
at them !"'— Harrisburg Telegraph.
Ilsrißi-icANs, LOOK HERE !—Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, lowa, j
and Minnesota, have all held their elections;
since the Presidential contest. Every one of .
them ha:- sustained its position as a Republi-,
can State by decided majorities. The next t
trial conies on in Pennsylvania; and if this
can be won to the side of Freedom, the j
battle of 1860 will be already fought and won. 1
House ap, then, for a united effort in behalf
of the State ticket. To falter now is to peril
vvervthifig. Those who take one step back
wards in an hour when everything depends on
our constancy and firmness will sow the seeds
of repentance and earn for themselves a har
vest of reproaches.

year of his age. •
This sad treat, occurring as it his in the very midst of
a "lite of active and more extending usefulness, has spread
universal gloom aud sadness over the entire community.
Universally esteemed for his many excellent anil virtu
ous qualities of mind ami heart, every acquaintance will
have to feel yet more and more the loss they have sus
tained.
—But there are no words to convey an adequate idea
of the loss to the liereaveil wife and intaut daughters,
the mourning father and surviving partner *aul the in
e u-u!a!i!e mother, brothers and sister-. As * hit-band

a<-tiw participation in his father's bit a iocs-, ami by an
intense application and ronstant devotion to his duties,
M-i .iudial by an amount of natural talent and acquired
ski;! si' Mom combined in one individual, he had secured
a uniformity of suer-ess seldom attained in a business of
su"h eeiupii atid character. The urbanity of his tuan
j tier,strict attention to every minute detail of business,
j idau accommodating spirit, he had iu an eminent de
kree oi.taused the esteem aud lore of all with whom lie

DR. J.M'INTOSH, DENTIST,
nfc£p£sSheordia!!y thanks the community for thege-
nerous treatment he has received for the
past eight years, and promises to exert hinistll in future
as he has never li-me before to deserve their confidence.
Hereafter no work will leave his bauds that will not
compare favorably with the best -tyle of city dentistry.
In connection v. .at thanks, he begs to say, that the im
mediate payment of plate work will be a necessity. A
good fit i- a most difficult olgect to be attained without
having paid for the plate. It is true that a poor fit can
be had whether paid for or not, but the responsibility is
not in the least impaired with him. if the work is paid lor
perhaps the opposite. It is mightily offensive to lie sus
pected of a deliberate attempt to gouge. He will under
take to do nothing beyond his skill to accomplish. Per
sons who do not wish to employ liim until they tind the
plate is " going to do," are imfoVtncd that he does net de
sire to tie so employed. He can point to as large a num
ber of good tits as any dentist can of equal business ; and
—if he does say it—to a great many more artistically ar
ranged cases. If what lie has done, cannot be taken as
a sufficient guarantee, the choice of another dentist will
never be a subject of complaint by him.
