SAD CASE or DROWNINO.—We are pained to learn that, on Friday evening week, Mr. John A. Noel, of Buchanan valley, was drowned in Wild Cat Branch of the Conewago, a short distance from his home. The heavy rain which had just fallen—the heaviest ever recol lected there—had swollen the stream to an ex traordinary height, Mr. Noel, had been to Mumasburg with the team, accompanied by his father, and on the return just after dark, did- not suppose the stream dangerous, and drove in without fear_ But the lead horse was at once swept around, and Mr. Noel, in get ting off the saddle horse and trying to reach the bank, was struck by the rapid current and carried down—to rise no more. His body was found about two o'clock next morning, two hundred yards below the crossing. His age was 86 years and 4 months. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his sad death.— God comfort them. ' ALLRFAIENI' COUNTY.

DEATH OF AN Ex-EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT. —William H. Powell, Esq., formerly editor and publisher of the 'Doy/estown Democrat, died at his residence in . Plymouth township, Mont gomery county, very suddenly, on the morning of the 12th of October. The deceased was a printer by profession. He, learned 'the busi ness in the office of the Norristown Register, and afterwards, in connection with Samuel D. Patterson, Esq., published that paper. On retiring from that establishment, he pur chased, in 1830, the Doylestown Democrat from Mr. Snyder, and published it until about 1834, when he sold it • to the late Judge Bryan. Subsequently he engaged in the mercantile business in Market street, Philadelphia, in which he continued successfully for a period of nearly twenty years, when he purchased a farm in Plymouth township, where he ended his days. BARN BURNED.—Mr. George Washington Brown, of Middletown, was at mill on Wed nesday last, and returning home a little before nine o'clock at night, and taking a little boy with a lantern, proceeded to the barn to put away his horse. While Mr. B. was in the en try the boy let the lantern fall in the stable, setting the straw on fire. He called Mr. 8., who attempted to stamp it ont;•and called to hive wife for _water, but it had Made such head way that he was unable to extinguish the flames, and the barn;with all the crops of the season, were consumed. BLAIR COUNTY. LADIES FAIR BY FAIR LADIES—The ladies• con nected with the St. John's Catholic congrega tion, Altoona, are busily employed just now in the preliminary arrangements for a grand Fair, for the benefit of the church, to be held there in the course of a few weeks. STEEP.—Butter is retailing in our market at only 27 cents per pound—a figure we do not recollect it to have ever reached before, and one that behooves those of limited means to know on which side their bread is buttered. ESCAPED.-Six prisoners, confined in the Ebensburg jail, made their escape from 44 du rance tile," on Thursday night a week, by cut ting the bars of one of the windows of their cell. One of them was captured at Johnstown and re-jugged, but made his escape the second time. BEANS COUNTY. MIDSHIPMEN APPOINTED. —ln the list of can didate admitted as Midshipmen in the United States Naval Adademy at Newport, Rhode Is land, at the regular fall examination for 1863, we observe the name of John Hagenman, son of Mr. Lewis Hagenman, of Reading ; and John Missimer, jr., son of John Missimer, of Alsace township. _ Mr. J. J. Good, (brother of Rev. Wm. A. Good, of Reading) who had been in the mili tary service over two years and had escaped without a wound was killed at the battle of Chickamauga, on Sept. 19th, while bravely charging on a rebel battery. He was a mem ber of Co. A. 77th Regt. P. V. CAMBRIA COUNTY. DEssgrans.—On Thursday evening last five deserters, under escort of a squad of soldiers, were taken east on the cars. They were na tives of Somerset county, and were there cap tured. Only one, we believe, was a paroled prisoner; the rest had been for some time in service. Notwithstanding the shoddy organs of Pittsburg have declared that the "secession element is strong in Johnstown," no attempt was made to rescue them. THE best answer that Mr. Pershing could make to the attack 'of the Scrip manager through his pettifogging and printing agents, would be a plainly transcribed copy of his cer tificate of oloctin tc the Legislature, for the third time, by the PEOPLE of Cambria county. COLUMBIA-COUNTY. The total vote OW at last fall's election in Columbia county was, on the state ticket,. 4,314. At the late election the vote polled was 0,148; an increase of 829 votes. The Demo cratic majority last fall was 1,650; at this elec tion it falls short nine votes of what it was last fall. It will be seen on the 829 increased vote the Democracy nearly held their own. In Bloom township 406 votes were polled last fall, and at this election 479 were polled ; an in crease of 78 votes over last fall's election. The Republican majority in this township last fall was 32, and at this election their majority is 87. O u t of the increased vote the Democratic ticket received but 9 in this township. JUNIATA COUNTY. Among the Rounded at the battle of Bristow Station,t Virginia, is Lieut. Colonel John K. Robinson, (16th Pa. Cavalry,) of , this county. Capt. Wilson ought to have been there fight ing f9r hie country, instead of at home, on furlough, to vote for Curtin. LEHIGH COUNTY. RAILROAD IMPRovEME.NT—The Lehigh Valley railroad erimpany are building a car shop at Burlington, about one mile below Mauch Chunk. The main building it 261 by 168 feet. The company intend building a round house below the car shop, which will not be com menced before next season. One hundred soldiers of Colonel Good's regi ment will soon be home on thirty days' fur lough, they having agreed to re- Millet for three years after their present term of service ex pires. They were to come on the last steamer —the ci Union," but there Was no room for them. PRICE TWO CENTS LUZERN,. COUKTY. ACCIDERT.-Mr. Thomas T. Kocher, of King ston, met with a serious accident at Nanti coke last week. - He was assisting to raise a truss at the bridge on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg railroad, when the sling broke and a large piece of timber struck him on the back of the head. It was feared that conges tion of the brain would follow. Mr. K. is a worthy, industrious man. Ws regret to state that the Hon. Chas. Den nison, member of Congress, lies seriously ill at his home in this borough. He was attacked last week with erysipelas, but at present la presumed to be in a fair way of recovering, Rumoa.—lt has been rumored the past week, that Mr. N. Palmer was shot:by a deserter, somewhere in the upper part of the county, while endeavoring to arrest him. We have heard no particulars, and therefore know no thing as to the truth of the rumor. MONTGOMERY COUNTY. Although the result of the election on Tues day in this State is not as favorable as many hoped, there is no reason for any lack of effort for success at another time. Whatever the re. stilt now, sooner, or later, if _our republican Yorm of government is to be preserved, the Democratio principle must prevail. It is the principle of the Cohstitution which formed the Union and made our country what it was, and upon it alone can the latter be restored. Dem ocrats, maintain your organisation and let every Club be maintained the same as before the late election. Our vote and majority in Montgomery county are a good foundation upon which to build, and at another election we shall swell them to a much larger figure. NORTHAMPTON COUNTY. Two DEMOCRATIC VETERARB.-At the recent election, the venerable Peter Steckel, of Moore hoWnship, in the 93d year of his age, walked three miles to the election at Klecknersville, to deposit his ballot for Judge Woodward. His elder brother, Mr. Daniel Steckel, 97 years of age, also attended the election at Bath and deposited his vote for the Democratic ticket. All honor to these aged veterans. WESTMORELAND COUNTY. We learn that Charles T. Yoder, formerly of Unity township, until lately a member of com pany C, Fourth Pennsylvania cavalry, has re ceived an appointment as clerk in the Pay master General's office at Washington, with a salary of $1,600 per annum.

Dick's cavalry' company, which was recruited for the three months' service, was mustered out. on Monday of last week, its term of service having expired, The company was raised as an independent or ganization at Mount Pleasant, and was com posed almost entirely of young farmers from old Westmoreland, who furnished their own horses. NEGRO EQUALITY IN CARLFA..—That portion of Canada bordering the Detroit river, where gentlemen of African descent from the "neigh boring republic" first do land and most do congregate, is a perfect paradise for the negro. At the recent Kent assizes. held at Chatham, a scene occurred. The Planet thus describes : Upon the case being called, Mr. Thomas Russell rose in...thejury box and said that one of the jurors chosen was a colored man, and the eleven white men agreed that they would not sit with him. lie said this in behalf of the jury, but out of no contempt for the court, but simply stated the fact, and begged to be re• lieved. Judge Richards—l know no reason why you should not in the eyes of the law act as juryman as you have been chosen. Mr. Russell—We do not think he is intelli gent enough - Wad, Judge Richards—But the law says he is, and that is sufficient. The law is the judge in this matter, not the jury. Mr. Russell—Well, then, air, I must respect fully decline to sit as ajuryman with this col ored man. Justice Richards—Well, then,-1 shall fine you. Mr. 'Russell—And if I do not pay the fine ? Justice Richards—l shall send you down be low (to goal.) Mr. Russell—Well. (Here Mr. Russell left the jury box. Justice Richards—Mr. Clerk, what is that man's name name leaving the box. The Clerk (Ireland)—Mr. Thomas Russell, my lord. 'Justice Richards—Well then record a fine of five pounds against Mr. Thomas Russell. Mr. Bergeson Verrall, standing in his place in the jury boy—My Lord, I am ill able to pay a five pounds, but really I cannot sit here, but will go to the cells. (Here Mr. Varral left the jury box.) Justice Richards—Mr. Clerk, what is the name of that man who is now leaving the jury box ? Mr. Clerk—Mr_ Sargeson Verrall, my lord. Justice Richards—Record a fine of five pounds against him, too. (A . pause.) Call some more jurors to fill up the box. The clerk then proceeded •to call the names of Mr. Hugh Palmer, of Oxford, and Mr. Wm. M'Pherson, of Bothwell, who Mk the vacated seats and were sworn in as jurors in the room of Mr. Russell and Mr. Verrall, who refused to sit. WEBSTER.—The Boston Past, in noticing the recent visit of Mrs. Webster to the tomb of her husband in Marshfield, says, after ten years of sepulture in the harbor of the Pilgrims, the doors of the tomb swung suddenly back, and the lid of the sarcophagus was raised by the friendly hand of surviving friendship, Peter Harvey, Esq., to see what traces a decade of years in death had left of the illustrious de parted. It was found that " the noble brow was yet 'perfect in all its features," and that the "contour of that impressive face" was pre served the same as on the day when the funs• ral of ten thousand, at whose head was a Pre siedut of the United States, in all his su pernal prime, took up its solemn march from the library at Marshfield to wend its way to the " Tomb by the . Great Sea." THE NEW POSTAL Guano:cr.—The wretched new postal currency, of which specimens have begun to appear here, was gotten up in Wash. ington city; and none of our New York artists or artisans are responsible for it. The entire work of designing, engraving and printing the notes was done in the Department at Washing ton—which, fact is recorded in a line at the bottom of the notes themselves. We hope it will not be allowed to go into circulation.— We could better endure our present dirty slips a month or tiro longer than the substitution of such trash—if the notes we have are speci mens of those that remain behind.--New York Argus. HABBIAGH-IN HIGH Linz.—Miss Kate Chase, daughter of the U. B. Secretary of the Trea sury, will be married to Hon. Wm. Sprague, Rhode Island 11. S. Senator, on Thursday, the 12th of November.

MISCELLANEOUS. GOLD.—There are good reasons for believing that gold was the first metal with which man became acquainted. Its peculiar properties render it the best for the purpose of being worked by a primative..people. Gold is the only metal which is found in a metallic state, such as we see it need in the arts and mann. factures. The process of - *lending all the other metals from their matrix or ore is so te dious and difficult that without gold it is pro. bable our forefathers would have had no me tals at all to use. We who live at thisperiod of the world's history can well believe how little advancement could be made in-civiliza tion without a metal of some kind. Now those qualities which we recognize as metallit in the highest degree are possessed by gold, and it is thne we see, even in this single instance, a proof of the Creator's wisdom in the adoption of a means to an end. Gold, the most easily worked of all metals, the most imperishable, the most brilliant and attractive, was the first that was given to man. No other metal could have served the purpose so well as the one we find him first possessed of.. No wonder gold is typified in the Scriptures as the purest me tal, no wonder that it was chosen as the means (in the shape of coin) of representing the pro ducts of labor, that man should select what age after age has proved to be the most fitting thing for this purpose. As an assurance to us that the supply of gold shall be adequate to our wants, this metal has been found in the ratio of the increase of the human family. It is diffused over the whole earth, and has seta as a stimulus to man to visit regions pre viously uncultivated. The wilds of Australia and California have thus been peopled in our day in the same way that the Spaniards peo pled South America years ago. . "WOUNDED AND KILLED."—It takes but little spade in the columns of the daily papers, but oh what long household stories and biogra phies are every one of these strange names we read over and forget ! Killed and wounded ! Some eye reads the name, to whom it is as dear as life, and some heart is struck or broken by the blow made by some name among the list. It is our Henry, or oar James, or oar John, that lies with his poor limbs at the hos pital, or dead—still, and with ghastly face— on the battle-field. Alas for the eyes that read ! " He was my pretty boy, that I have sung to sleep so many times in my EMI !" says the poor mother, bowing in anguish that cannot be uttered. "He was my brave, noble husband, the father of my little orpan children !" sobs the stricken wife. "He was my darling brother, that I was proud of !" murmurs the sister, amid tears ; and so the terrible stroke falls on the homes throughout the laud. "Wounded and killed !" Every name in that list is a lightning stroke to some heart, and breaks the thunder over some home, and falls a long black shadow upon some hear th-stone. An educated man ought to know three things: First, where he is—that is to say, what sort of a world he has got into ; how large it is, what kind of creatures live in it, and how ; what it is made of, and what may be made of it.— Secondly, where he is going—that is to say. what chances or reports there are of any other world besides this ; what seems to be the na ture of that other world.' Thirely, what he had beat do tinder these circumstances—that is to say, what kind of faculties he possesses. what are the present state and wants of man kind ; what is his place in society ; and what are the readiest means in his power of attain ing happiness and diffusing it. 'The man who knows them' things, and who has his will so subdued in the learning of them that he is ready to do what he knows he ought, is an educated man ; and the man who knows them not is uneducated, though he could talk an the tongues of Babel.—Ruskin. A DEVOTED DAITORTED,—Sir John Cochrane, being engaged in Argyle's rebellion against James 11, was taken prisoner after a desperate resistance, and sentenced to be hanged. His daughter Grizzle having obtained information that the death-warrant was expected from London by the coach, dressed herself up in man's clothes and twice attacked and robbed, between Belford and Berwick, the mails which conveyed the death-warrants. This gave time to Sir John Coebrane's father, the Earl of Dundonald, to make interest with rather Pe ter, a Jesuit priest and the king's confessor, who, for the EMU of five thousand pounds, agreed to intercede with his royal master, and to obtain his pardon, which was panted. The great-granddaughter of this lady, Miss Stuart, of Allan Bank, was the grandmother of the late eminent banker, Mr. Thomas Coutts, whose grandchild is the present Miss Burdett Coutts. • Tina skeletons of five Indians, together with three copper coins, were discovered at Newton Corner, Mass., some days since, by some la borers who were digging a cellar. The re mains were found in different parts of the eel= tar, and about two feet below the ground. The evidences are, as this was once the seat of an Indian settlement, that many of their dead were buried there. Those parts of the skele ton which were found most intact were the skulls. The jawbone of one was in perfect condition, and contained the full number of teeth, the enamel of which was in an excellent state of preservation. Parts of the' ribs and back-bone were also found in good condition. Only one of the coins could be deciphered ; on it was a head ; it is believed to, belong to the reign of Geerge I, and to have been made be tween 1720 and 1730. TILE ORIGIN OF HAND-BRAYING.—The Romans had a goddess whose name was Fides, or Fi delety—a goddess of "faith and honesty," to whom Numa was the first to pay divine honors. Her only dress was a white veil, expressive of frankness, candor and modesty ; and her sym bol was two right hands joined, or" sometimes two figures holding each other by the right hand ; whence, in all agreements among the Greeks and Romans, it was usual for the par ties to take each other by the hand, as a token of their intention to adhere to the compact ; and this custom is in more general use, even among ourselves at the present day, than would at first thought be realized. SINGULAR DEATEI.—A young man named B residing in the Avenue de, Clichy, lost his life, a few days since, while attempting to save a favorite cat which had fallen into a deep draw well. On being informed of his poor cat's accident, he immediately determined to fetch her up,a rather dangerous operation for hits,as he had but one leg, having lost the other when in the army. In spite of all his neighbors could say, be insisted on being let down by a rope in to the well, and he succeeded in bringing up the cat; but while he was handing her to his assistants, the rope broke, and he fell to the bottom. Some time wee /oat in procuring ano ther rope, and when B— was drawn from the well, life waS extinct. DISCOVERY OF B.ocw. SALT AT MIDDLESBOR OCOR.—The following is an extract of a letter from Newcastle-on -Tyne ; "I do not know whether you have observed anything about a, very interesting discovery that has been made in this district, under the new red sandstone —a bed of rock salt at Middlesborough, where they have bored. It is about 120 feet thick ;it is deep, I think, about 200 fathoms."
