This is all right, bec am it is Democratic, and therefore such journals should not complain. The object is to choke oil the loyal portion of the party in the nomination of candidates and when the time of the election arrives, whip them into the traces and compel them to "support the ticket" on a penalty in case of refusal, of "lead and steel." I=lr2==l Grans.—There are two kinds of girls. One is the kind that appeafs best abroad—the girls that are good for parties, rides, visits, balls, etc., and whose chief delight is in such things. The other is ti•e kind that appears best at home— the girls that are useful and cheerful in the dining room, the sick room, and all the precincts of their home. They differ widely inoharacter. One is often a torment at home, the other a blessing. One is a moth, consuming everything about her ; the other a sunbeam, inspiring life and gladness all along her pathway. Now, it does nut necessarily follow that there should be two dames of girls. A slight education of the right sort will modify both a little, and unite their good qualities in one. BEATtR COUNTY. —Narrow Escape for Drowning. Two young men, sons of Mr. Nicholson of Bridgewater, aged about 18 and 20 respectively, had a narrow escape from drowning, on Monday of last week, while skating on the dam, at or near the Beaver toll bridge. One of them went through the ice. His brother seeing this, went to his assietanceorhen be too went under. The ice was so thin and brittle that as fast as they attempted to get up, it broke away. A gentleman named Mr. Jacob Beeson happened to be near, and seeing the peril they were in, seized a ladder lying near, which he pushed in front of him until the ice began to crack under him. He then got down on "all fours," and at the risk of his lite pushed the ladder within reach of them. By this time a crowd had gathered ou the shore, and a rope with a stone * attached, was thrown to Mr. Beeson, who made it fast to the ladder, and the young men were drawn out more dead than alive. =I MTSTEMLOIJS DEATH till' A GIRL. —A few days ago Miss Bell Huston, a lumber of the family of Mr. Beatty, of New Florence, Westmoreland county, (formerly of Armagh, Indiana county,) came to her death under the followin g circum stances : She started to go to the house o f a neighbor, a mile distant, going around an eh— vation called "Squirrel Bill." Not returning at the proper time, search was made for her, and she was found lying on the ground, speech less and but just alive. She died shortly after: There were some suspicions that violence had been used, but they are not supposed to be well founded. The deceased was left an orphan at an early age, and had been brought up in the family of Mr. Elliott, of Florence. She was a young lady of fair features, and modest, pleas ing stamen, and was highly respected, PalluMbhutia Way etlcgraph, to tin'evening, IDectitther 22. )1362- Atturnma W&RElNG.—Burned to Death.—A child of Silas Alrord, of Washington township, Lawrence county, aged three years, was left alone in a room last week, and was so seriously burned as to cause its death in a few hours. Gags or ART.—There is now on exhibition at the music store of Win. Knoche, 93 Market street, near Fourth, two pil paintings which are really gems of art. One is a fruit piece— the other a display of flowers almost rivalling nature. They are the work of Mr. Rosen, an artist who has established a deservedly high repatation in paintings of this .style. They must be seen to be properly appreciated. Mr. Knoche has on hand a large assortment of engravings, embracing all the latest European importations, plain and colored in the highest style of art, which will be framed in any style of moulding, or sold as they are at New York prices. Also, an endless variety of goods suit able for holiday presents—fine looking glasses, photographic albums, accordeons, violins, guitars, drums, fifes, flageoletts, music of all kinds, and the best and cheapest pianos, melo deons and harmoniums to be found any where. Persons who are about making purchases are respectfully invited to call and see for them selves.. New Publications. SIMPLE CONTENSATIONS ON ENGINEERING, with illustrations from Nature and 4pylications to Spirit ual Life. Philadelphia : Lutheran Board of Publication. There is no feature in the great plan of eirt, cation, so important as that which is presented in the organization or the details of the Sunday School. The Sunday School has as much to do with the safety and perpetuity of a nation, as ships of war or armies. Indeed, if the virtue and honor and truthfulness which are Incul cated by the teaching of the Sunday School, were improved upon and extended as the boy or girl leaves that sacred precinct, and goes out into the busy world, the most lasting foun dations of peace would be laid, and the world become what God intended it should be , the abode of love and happiness. In connection with the Sunday School, there is immense good achieved not only among scholars, but among parents, by the books which are weekly circulated for perusal. Our Sunday School Libraries wield a great influence, and because this is the fact, we have ofton thought that more care should be given to the character of the books thus placed in the hands of the young. We do not mean to write that the books in our various Sunday School Libra ries are deficient in any of the essentials of a cor rect moral teaching. So far as they go, they are perfect—bet in connection with this, great improvement could be made in other direc tions, whereby much good would be accomplish ed that is not even now attempted. The volume before us comes np to our own idea, at least, of the improvement in the other direction to which we now allude. It has taken a great practical subject, elucidated its myste ries, exemplified its theories, and thus in a pleasant and a familiar style, so applies the subject to the aims and the ends of life, as at once to cast .41.4 of light on the mind of the young reader, and leave hinivith• a tau sense of the pleasure which is ever derived from the consciousness of being able to comprehend and understand that which before was mysterious and perplexing. We trust that this little volume will not only find its way into'every Sunday School Library in the country, but that it may be honored with a place in the Library of every-family in the land. It is worthy of its subject, and the author will never regret the time or the labor he devoted in its preparation. AMUSEMENTS. TIEN Ausawszurrs.—The first concert of these celebrated musicians, vocalists and bell ringers, will be given in this city, at Brant's Hall, on Christmas eve. To write a notice of the 411,le ghanians is at once to praise them. To criticise is to commend them. No other troupe ever acquired suej► celebrity or deserved similar suc cess. On this account, we feel certain that the contemplated concerts of the Alteghanisna will be a great triumph. They will be the great feature of the coming holidays. SANIORD'S OPERA Hoess.—Another great bill for to-night--Paddy's Wedding, the Bird Hunt, are, and the United States Mail. Great prepara tions are being made for the production of Cin derella on Wednesday evening. This will be a great treat for the little ones. Cinderella, or the Glass Slipper, is one of the best household fairy tales ever presented upon the Stage. The cruel sisters, ;with their bad treatment of Cin derella, will be displayed well by Sanford's Troupe.. The faithful Pedro, whose devoted attention to Cinderella, will be personated by Sanford, and the stern parent by Mr. Brown. The Prince is in the bands of Mr. Turner, who we know will do justice to the part. The play is well cast, and from all accounts it will be put upon the stage in a most brilliant manner. All the tricks and transformations will be pro duced there. Great mechanical efforts will be a novelty in this city. So lookout for the Holiday piece. SPECIAL NOTICES CHRIMILUI. —How many thousand changes have taken place since Christmas, 1861. Our national welfare has been threatened; the death ly strife of war still continues ; thousands of the flower of our brave young men have found a soldier's grave ; the vacant chair at the Christmas family board will remind many a loving father and mother of that favorite son whose manly courage and social qualities con tributed to the, general happiness at the last Christmas dinner; but let us hope on, though dark clouds seem to obscure the' brighter day, that through Providence will soon be the con summation of this deadly struggle. And in the meantime let us keep our hearts Warm to wards one another, by the interchange of Christmas presents, that can be had at such moderate prices at the cheap dry goods house of Uric% & Bowmaa.
