ANDREW G. CURTIS. Andrew G. Curtin. the candid ato of the People's party for Governor of Peon-, sylvania, was born the 22d of April 1817, in Bellefonte, a beautiful village in the county of Centre, so called because it lies in tho very heart of tbo Common wealth, This county is away from the great routes between the North and the South, the East and the West, and thus it is not as well known as it ought to bo that it is exceedingly rich and lovely, a bounding in iron ores, fertile valleys and fine streams. The rare facilities of this rogion attracted to it, at an early day, the energies and tho residence of Roland Curtin, who, for forty years was a leading iron manufacturer in 'Centre county, ac cumulated a competent estate, and has left three sons, brothers of Andrew, en gaged in tho great staple business of Pennsylvania. Andrew G. Curtin comes of first-rate Pennsylvania stock. His father married a daughter of Andrew Grcge, who was one of the great men of Pennsylvania in the early part of this century. He wa- a representative from the interrior of the State in the first Con gress under the Constitution, and sat in the House of Representatives for eighteen' successive years. Then he was trans ferred to the United States Senate, and 6ervcd a term of six yean. Andrew Gregg was a steady supporter of the Adminis-, trations of the earlier Presidents, and es-, pecially of Jefferson and Madison. He offered in Congress the famous war reso-i lutions which preceded our last confliot ! with Great Britain, aud which elicited the eloquence of Henry Clay and Johni Randolph. After bis retirement from j Congress, he acted as Secrotary of tho j Commonwealth duriug tho Adicinistra- tion of Governor Joseph tleistor. JliVery Pennylvanian of middle ago will remem bor tbe fierce and deoisive State canvass of 1823, when the old Federal party, un der the lead of Andrew Gregg as theircan didate for Governor, made a last stand for victory and existence, and were defeated by the old Pennsylvania Democracy, un der te lead of Jno. Audrow Shulze. There can be no doubt that the grandson, Andrew Gregg Curtin, etandard-bear-er as he is of tbe real Demooraoy of the State at this day, will faro better than his grandfather. The subject of our sketch was educated at the Academy of the Rev. J. Kirkpat rick, in Milton, Northumberland couuty. Mr. Kirkpatrick, still living in Allegheny county, was one of the old style of in structors. He "turned out" his boys thoroughly impregnated with the clasios and mathematics. It is quite a coince dence, that Governor James Pollock, President of the late State Convention whioh noaiinated Mr. Curtin, and Messrs. Samuel Calvin and David Tar gart, both candidates for the nomination, were educated by the same instructor. These three gentlemen, in their speeches to the Convention, endorsing its nominee, referred, in most touuhiug term, to the happy memories of the suuny days when they were boys together in tho good old Milton Academy. After getting well imbued with as much Latin, Greek, and mathematics as any of our colleges afford, the young Curtin was placed in the law office and law school of Judge Reed, of Carlisle. This hchool was one of tbe departments of Dickinson College, and as long as its Professor lived it flourished, and scut forth eotue of the best lawyers and public men of Pennsyl vania. Judge Reed was well known for his "Pennsylvania Blaekstone," one of tbe first attempts ever made to adapt the immortal "Commentaries" to our modern law. He was a first-rate lawyer, and an adept in teaching legal principles. Andrew G. Curtin was admitted to the Bar in 1839, and began the practice of the law in his native town. He imme diately entered upon a largo and varied practice, and has ever since been constant ly and actively employed in the Courts of the counties of Cutre, Clearfield, Mifflin and Clinton. Ilia great information, his vigorous mind, and his candor, recom mended him to tbe Courts; his winning style made him powerful with juries. He rapidly became one of the best known, and most rising young men in central Pennsylvania. A man with the gifts and temperament of Andrew G. Cuttin could not fail to bo largely interested and concerned in public affairs. Strikingly amiable, ge nial, and warm-hearted, of luminous, quick, and extensive intelligence, of thej most engaging address, endowed with a; fluent, facetious, and captivating elo-l quenoe, and instinct with old Poonsylva- nia traditions of policy and patriotism, he threw himself at once into those po-! litical controversies which, as Burke tells us, are the noblest employments of tho cultivated man. Ho was an ardent and! thorough-going Whig, and in 1840 he be took an active part in that ontbusias- tie campaign which made General Har rison President of tbe United StateB. In 1844 he was a fervent adherent of the illustrious candidate of the Whigs, and be stumped all central Pennsylvania for Henry Clay and Protection to American Industry. In that struggle Mr. Curtin first acquired his wide-spread reputation for effective and resistless popular elo quence. There is not a county from tbo Susquehanna to the Alleghenios in which the name of Andrew G. Curtin ever fails to attract the very largest STROUDSBURG, MONROE crowds, who oagerly gather to enjoy th- feasts of wisdom and wit, of humor and pathos, of poetry, statistics, story, argu ment, and imagery, which spread out in i . ... his glowing and melodious periods. In 1848 he was plaoed on the Whig electoral ticket, and again traversed ma ny sections of tho Stato in behalf of Gen - - . I Zachary Taylor. He was an original neot of tbe immense mineral and agricul supporter of tho nomination of Genoral tural resources of bis native State. By Winfield Scott, and in 1852 he was a gain placed on the electoral ticket, and worked with his usual zeal to carry the Stato for the hero of tho Valley of Mexi Indeed. Mr. Curtin was at all times CO. a tnorougn ana inorou jreuujrivui Whig, devoted to all those conservative and humane ideas which distinguished that party which now bleeps in the graves of Clay and Webster. He is by training, and by mature conviction, a believer jn systematic and efficient Protection, in liberal internal improvements, in the pol icy of encouraging well paid and wide diffused Free American Labor. Suoh a Whig could not fail to be a loader and a counsellor of tbe party, and, accord ingly, Mr. Curtin was an influential mem ber of nearly every Whig State Conven tion which met during the last ten years of the Whig party's existence. No man was ever more popular at home. He is endowed with muoh of that rare magnetism which neutralizes social and political differences, and makes the man stronger than his party. As an il lustration of this, in the year 1849 Cen tre county composed part of tbe Senato rial district in which General William F. Packer, now Governor, was tbe Demo cratic candidate for the State Senate. Tho Whig candidate withdrew from the can ass on the Friday before the election. At tho earnest and general solicitation of the party, Coolnel Curtin took tho field. There remained only three days to canvass a very large district. Yet, while Centre county gave a majority of e levcn hundred for the rest of tbe Demo cratic ticket, she gave General Packer a majority of only three hundred. Three days sufficed Curtin, against as strong a candidate as Packer, to soatter two-thirds of the Democratic majority. In the year 1854, Colonel Curtin was strongly urged by the counties of central Pennsylvania for tho Governorship; and when Hon. James Pollock of Northum berland, received the nomination, Curtin was made Chairman of the State Central Committee. Upon the election of Gover nor Pollock, he appointed Colonel Curtin Secretary of the Commonwealth. He discharged the varied duties of that office with signal ability and discretion. Gov. Pollock's administration was Bingularly pure, moderate and conservative. It was not distinguished by any startling mea sures, or any exciting innovations. Tbe agitations and fluctuations caused by the breaking up of the Whig party, the pro slavery democratic outrages in Kansas, the rise of the American and Republican organizations, and tho tremendous politi cal contest of '56, withdrew the general at tention from mere State affairs to those of national concern. But, in the midst of all, tho Pollock administration held its even way, maintainingthe interests and the hon or of Penn'a, condemning the barbarities which oppressed the people of Kansas and the faithless servilities of the Pierce and Buchanan administrations uttoring its voice for protection to the industries of Pennsylvania, and exhibiting, on eve ry occasion, that dignified moderation which is so peculiar to the Pennsylvania character. That administration steadily won tho confidence of the people as it pro ceeded, and retired from power attended by the respect of every citizen in the com monwealth, and above even the suspicion of corruption or partiality. Ex-Scoreta- ry Curtin, as the intimate friend and con- stitutional adviser of the Governor, is fair- ly entitled to a full share of tho credit whioh attaches to the honest, wise and benign administration of James Pollock, During that strenuous contoat for the J? ...... United Siates Senatorsbip, wnicu distm- guisbed the legislative seseion of 1855, Colooel Curtin was stronaly and persist- ently urged by a large majority of friends for that high position. His department of the ad ministration ; connected him closely with our oommon school system as its superintendent, tie gave laborious attention to it, and took particular pleasure in perfecting its details and increasing its efficiency. Tho Com monwealth is greatly indebted to bim for the legislation concerning tho Normal schools, whicb affords tbe method and means of systematically training a body of intelligent and highly competent teach ers, and thus supplying the most pressing need of our froe schools. Under the working of that law, one Stato Normal School is in effioient operation, and others are springing up in various parts of the Commonwealth. Secretary Curtin was an original and active advocate of that great measure of two shillings." The lady asked tho own the Pollock Administration the sale of' cr of tho land tbo roason for ?be differ the Main Line of Public Improvements, enoo of tbo price! He answered you see, .. . . I . i i v . I This measure was vigorously opposed Do- fore its consummation, but it is now a greed on all bands that it was timely and wise, and that tho Commonwealth was thereby reliovcd of an incubus which an nually depleted its treasury and corrupted its politics. Since bis retirement from the Seoreta rvnlnn of the Com monwealth. Colonel Cur- tin has devoted himself again to the prac- tice of the law, and to the material and industrial interest of his region of the COUNTY, PA. MARCH Commonwealth. He has been very active in promoting those lines of railroad which are to bring Centre, Clinton, Clearfield, and the adjoining counties into connection xaUU tYta Ponnaclffanin Cnnfcral. aud the Sunbury and Erie railroads. He is a .i r l ki:. gentleman of unusual public spirit, and his whole soul is bound up m the develop birth, education, and lifelong habit and association, he is a protectionist, aud a traditionary believer in free labor, and in that policy which purposely encourage, diversifies and perfects all arts and in duBtries and refinements of a free and civilized community. Since that auspicious union of the Op position in Pennsylvania, whioh has re ulted in the formation and tho continued ascendency of tho People's party, Colonel Curtin has been for at least two years, re garded from many quarters as a particu larly worthy candidate for Governor. For that high office he is particularly qualified. Ho unites an even temper and a solid judgment, to great knowledge, not only of books, but of men and affairs. No man in tbe Commonwealth is more familiar with its various local interests; with its diversified capacities and require ments; with its legislation, its polioy and itB public opinions; no one has suoh an extensive acquaintance all over tho State. In all his private relations, and in the dis charge of bis official duties, ho has achiev ed a high character for probity and hon or. In head and heart, in temperament and aotion, he is an ingrainod Pennsylva nian. Within our broad limits there is none who can or will make a better Gov ernor. Colonel Curtin is not only above all re proach, but is beloved by his immediate neighbors and personal acquaintances. A man of dignified preienco, of gracious and gentle demeanor, kind-hearted, genial and sunny-tempered, remarkably instruc tive in conversation, he is, beyond all question tbe most popular man of his ago in Pennsylvania. In his native county, and all through the valleys of central Pennsylvania, every man, woman and child cherishes a feeling of personal at tachment to "Andy Curtin." He is noto rious at home for his open-handed liber ality, and for his continual charities. Al though be is not rich, and left office with out a cent more than be had when he en tered it, no man in Centre county has giv en away as much money to relieve the wants of the poor and aid the struggles of the embarrassed. It was remarked in the late Convention, which nominated him so promptly and by such a decided vote, that no man in the State bad such a body of devoted, en thusiastic, personal friends. There nev or was a nomination more joyfully hailed. It gives equal satisfaction among tbe far mers and iron mon of Centre, and tbe merchants and manufacturers of Philadel phia. The commercial metroplfs of the State answers it with a wonderfully gen eral applause. The solid business men of the oity and tbe State are delighted with it. From Lake Erie tothe Delaware, this nomination is regarded as tho bogin ing of a brilliant oampaign, and the harb inger of decisive State and National victo ries. The People's party could not have placed atthe head oftbeir army amore gal lant, admirable and formidable champion. He will make all Pennsylvania ring with his trenchant, sparkling and sonorous elo quence. Ho will be surrounded by the best men of the People's party the flow er and the promise of its future young, intellectual, well informed, public-spirited aud enthusiastic, who, fighting by his side, will ensure a powerful and stirring dis cussion of our glorious ideas of freedom, progress, and the rights of labor. An- drew G. Curtin is himself a young nan, in the very prime of life, and when he becomes Governor of Pennsylvania bis administration will exhibit all the virtues of a youthful maturity, solid enterprise, generous liberality, enlightened humani- 1 .1 I T 1 1 ty, ana a tuourougn rennsyivania poucy. This sketch comes from tbe heart, as well as the head, of atruo Pennsylvanian, wno tuuon as no aamires ana trusts ine candidate, loves the matt. But let no one, therefore, supposo that tbe warmth of friendship colors, this picture too highly. Andrew G. Curtin will soon visit every part of the Stato himself. Wherever he goes, the erowds who will meet and know bim, will become his charmed and eager personal friends. In October, tbe people of Pennsylva nia will attest tho justice of this sketch by their vo.os, and the future course of o vonts will prove tho correctness of their verdict, and turn our anticipation into facts. C. A lady passing through tbe country, observed the following notice on a board: "Horses taken in to grass. Long tails, three shilling and six pence; short tails, ma am, tno Jong talis can orusu away ine flies: but the short tails are so tormented by them, that they oan hardly oat at all." It was a wise and a Christian speech of Charles the Fifth to tho Duke of Ven ioe, who, when ho showed bim the glory of bis rjrineelv palace and earthly para- dUo. instead of admirinc it, or him for it, only returned him this grave and serious memento. "These aro the things whioh make as unwilling to die." 15, 1S60, School Examination. 1 Class in general information, eland upl" The class consisting of four youths in various conditions of forwardness, and iu garments of patched hue, struggled up and prepared for the ordeal.

They drive the nail up to the head and clinch it: "Men May sophisticate as they please. They can never make it right, and all the bankrupt laws in the Universe can not make it right for them not to pay their debts. There is a sin in negleot as clear and deserving of ohurch discipline as in stealing or false swearing.

The New Bedford Standard tells the following story, which illustrates either the power of love, or tho force of the im agination, in a manner little less than miraculous : Miss Louba Jones, an intelligent and accomplished young lady of Fairhaven, twenty-one years of age, baa been for the last four months, confioed to her bed, and for tbo last two months had lost the us a or her lower limbs, so that she could be moved only with great difficulty, Sho appeared to be failing rapidly, and tbo medical attendants declared they could do nothing more for her. On the 8th inst. some friend who was in to see her men tioned that tho Rev. Joseph K. Bellows of New York, a Second Advent preacher, was in town, holding a series of meetings. Sho immediately expressed a desire to see him and the belief that, should he pray for her, sho should recover. The olergyman accordingly visited her that evening, and Miss Jones describes her sensations during tbe prayer as similar to those of a person receiving a galvanic shock. That uigbt she arose and dressed herself without assistance, and on tho fol lowing Sabbath sho attended ohurch. She is now enjoying the best of health, and relishes the heartiest food. Tho young lady belongs to the samo religious persuasion with the preacher, which is an indication of her system being very sus ceptible to the influence of imagination. Appearance of Locusts. Mr. Gideon B. Smith, of Baltimore, writes to the National Intelligencer that tho locusts will appear extensively this year. Tbo followiug States and parts of States will be occupied by them, viz : New York and Connecticut from Long Inland Sound to Washington county, New York; from tbe Connecticut river to the Hudson river, and several counties in New York west of the Hudson river, to Montgomery county, on the Mohawk riv er. New Jersey occupying tho whole State. Pennsylvania In that portion bound ed by Peter's Mountain on the south, Mahantango Mountain on the north, the Delaware river on the cast, and the Sus quehanna river on tho west. Maryland from Anne Arundel coun ty to the middle of St. Mary's county; from the Chesapeake to tho Potomac riv er. Virginia from the south part of Lon don county to the Roanoke river; from tho Blue Ridge to the Potomac rivor. North Carolina Caswell, Stokes, Rockingham, Guilford, Rowan, Surry, and adjacent counties. Michigan about Kalamazoo, Indiana Dearborn and adjacent coun ties. They will commenoe emerging in North Carolina about tbe 10th of May, and a few days later for every hundred miles as we progress north, until the 1st of June, in Washington county, Y. This will afford a fine opportunity to test the correctness of the assertion that they do not appear regularly every 17 years. Nona of the Southern tribe (13 year lo custs) appear this year. o The Sagacity of a Horse. A short time since, a gentleman of Ly ons, 111., was thrown from his horse, and his ankle bono broken, leaving him help less on the road. Tho horse manifested great concern for his injured ridor, going four different times to a neighboring house, and as often returning to bim, smelling of him and whinnying on tho road, showing so much distress as to in duce a geutloman to follow him to whero his master lay on tbe road, perfectly help less, and liable to be ran over in the dark. .i Tho new State of Oregon is rcgardod by the democracy, as safe for the pro-ala-very candidate for President. This, wo think, is a matter whioh it won't do for our antagonists to be too sure of. The Republicans there are thoroughly organi zing for tho conflict, and already evince an enthusiasm which promises tbe most triumphant results. Col. Baker, (the elo quent orator and gallant soldier, who oneo represented an Illinois district in Congress and who was a Republican nominee in California last Fall) has emigrated to the young State, and will devote himself to the work of the oampaign. o a ii ' A Pair of Twins. Last evening, a lady, residing in Spring st., presented her husband with two daughters. In tho course of threo hours thereafter, a ring was beard at'the door bell, and under the impression that tho doctor had returned to seo his patient, the servant hastened to answer the sum mons. No one was to be seen iu tho neighborhood, but. upon the t-toop was found a basket, which contained two new ly born male children, apparently twins. Tbe lady, when informed of the circum stance, seemed well pleased, and at onco adopted the little waifs placing them iu bod bcHi'Jc her own. The young travel ers were fat asleep, and were comforta bly wrapped iu costly embroidered flan. nels. New York Tribune, Consolino.
