Mr. Price has refused several fine offers for it, and has now a standing offer of 1500, by a gentleman in New York." The London Advertiser is greatly dissatisfied at the result of the Arbitration at Geneva. It thinks that the British Government has perthitted itself to be bullied out of three or four million lbs., only to curry favor with the United States; that it now assumes to think it a matter of congratulation, the settlement of claims for which but a short time before it had declared England was neither legally or morally liable. • rtst,..The award of the Arbitration at Geneva is finally announced at $15,500, 000. Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Eng lish member, disagrees on the award for the Shenandoah and Florida, but agrees on the Alabama, which constitutes the greater portion of the sum. The Loudon Times thinks .England not morally to blame, and argues that because only the Alabama claims were unanimously allow ed the accusations made against England's friendliness are disproved ; it cheerfully consents to pay the sum awarded as tend ing to obviate similar difficulties in the future. • SO - Billy Forrester, alias Billy Mar shall, alias Bill or Frank Campbell, alias Frank Harding, alias Frank Howard, the suspected murderer, of Nathan, the New York banker, was arrested in Wash ington on Sunday a week by Detective Clarvoe, McDevitt, McElfresh and Mil ler.

' OUR PASEMENTS.—That the pa,st, few years have made a marked change upon the general a .pearance of our town so far as a spirit of improvement ie concerned is witnessed in the number of new build ings erected and the remodeling of others, the opening of new streets, grading, pik ing, &c. Whilst we have these evidences of thrift and enterprise throughout our of gross carelessness, and which detracts much from these laudable improvements. We refer to the present condition of our pavements. Man of them, and in the most frequented parts of our town, are disgraceful to property holders. Brick can be had at reasonable price 9 and it is not to late to remedy this . public nuisance. The expense must be incurred sooner or later,and-why-defer it - throUgh — an - otha "muddy season." . Of all its surroundings nothing ap pears more to the disadvantage of a town than bad pavements. Let propertj , hold era. move in this matter in time, and by putting down substantial brick pavements in place of those worn out or half laid with stone, they will contribute to their own and the public's comfort, the church going portion more particularly. Don't procras mate, for the probability is that brick will cost more per thousand next season than the do now. DRESSING FOR CHIIRCIL—The Bloom field (Pa.)

The wear- 3 carry a p e' up agony to ti e sanctuary as to a fair, as if her errand were not so much to praise as to be apli praised. Until some change is made in respect to "dressing for church," we think it vain to expect any great awakening a mong sinners, or any great growth in Chris tianity among professors. NEW ENTERPRISE.-Mr. G. P. Fred erick has just published a very handsome Business Chart and Lodge Guide of Way nesboro'. Mr. F. is a social and agreea ble gentleman and we are glad our citi zens so generally patronized his enter prise. His Chart is pronounced superior to similar works of the kind. Mr. Fred erick goes to Hagerstown and Greencas on the same business where we trust he may meet with like success. THE SURVEY.-A corps of Engineers are now engaged in running .a railroad line from Hagerstown to this place. As before stated the object is to connect with the H. & P. R. R. at or near this place. They are expected to reach here the lat• ter part of this week, when the line will be continued by Mr. Gitt to the Cumber land county line. Our people have been so often disappointed with railroad move ments that little importance attaches to the running of experimental lines from any quarter.

THE SEVENTH-DAY BAPTISTS.—We publish on the first page of to-day's paper an interesting article from Rev. / W. M. Fahntock in reference to this denomi nation of christians, which will be presen ted to the next Legislature in the form of a petition. Other papers in our county will confer a favor upon this society by giving the article a place in their columns. tEis It is wisely, suggested that those who will take the pains to fill their lungs with air, at least once a day, by a dozen or more full inspirations, will greatly de minish their risk of dying with consump tion. Very few persons, comparatively test the full capacity of their lungs in this way once a month. Having been greatly benefited by the practice, we heart ily recommend it. It is well, after infla ting the lungs to their utmost capacity, to "hold" them in that condition as long as possible. DECEASED.—We are pained to learn that Mr. Jacob S.

Mr. Boyle was overseer or Bishop of Pipe .Creek, congregation for upwards of thirty years. and his loss will be severely felt by the the church, which he adorned by a consistent and blameless life. In all the relations of life he main tained the character of a pure and up right man, and was greatly beloved in. the community in which he resided : — Westminster Sentinel.

These worms are hatched from the eggs of a white butterfly—an insect tilat has nev er been known in these parts before this season.

THE WORTH OF A LOCAL NEWSPAPIL - 7 -Does it ever for an instant occur to the business man that it is his solemn duty to support the -local press of his neighbor hood ? What is it but the well conducted news a• er that makes his town ? What constantly and gratuitously adver tises it as a place of interest or impor tance ? What weekly makes known to the whole earth- the simple fact that suoh a place as where he strives to gain a liveli hood has existence in the atlas ? It is a -local paper. Now, we venture to say that not one-tenth part of the business people of any city in the country spend anything in the way of judicious advertising. Sho w us a local • a .er well filled with advertise- meats and we will at once take stock in the enterprise and.business tact of the peo• ple who live where'the journal is publish ed.

STENGER, ESQ. • Sir: You are a candidate for the Legis lature this fall, for Franklin county, and as we are deeply interested in the "Border Damage Claims" we desire to know from you, what you will undertake to do for us, in this particular, if elected. For some un accountable reason, our member, at the last session, allowed our rights to slumber in si lence. Are you going to act in the same way ?

Kunkel, W. H. Brown, J. B. Crowell. CIIAMDMISBURG, Sept. 2nd A. D., 1872. Gentlemen :—I have always held, and nev er - hesitated to express, the opinion that the State of Pennsylvania is, in duty and honor, bound to make good the losses sus tained by the people of the border counties during the late war. I havealways thought too, that instead of the claimants for these losses being sent to the National Govern ment for re-imbursement, the State should first indemnify them, and then, through her representatives in Congress, demand payment of the National Government. To procure such action on the part of the State Legislature, it is of the highest importance that its members should be conVinced that justice and equity are on the side of these claimants, and to convince them of this fact, constant agitation of the subject is ab solutely necessary. 1 can only say, in answer to the inquiry in your letter, that if I shall be chosen a(t, the October election to represent Franklin county in the next Assembly, while I shall endeavor to pay duo attention to the in terests of all her people, it will afford me great pleasure and I shall esteem it my first duty,to press, in every honorable way for the payment of the Border Damage Claims.
