Agriculture. On the 4th page wc pnblish
a portion of an address delivered by Hon., T.
P. Hoyt, of this county, before the Centre
County Agricultural Society ; we will in our
next publish the remainder. The subject of
Agricultural Improvement is one upon wLicli
too much attention cannot be bestowed. This
remark is particularly applicable when refer
ence is had to this section of country. The
business of lumbering so absorbs the atten
tion of a large proportion of our people that
it withholds them from engaging in that pur
suit in which alone is centred the permanent
prosperity of any community. After a while,
it may bo within, comparatively speaking, a
few years, the valuable timber susceptible of
easy transit to market, with which this region
now abounds, will become scarce, and the
lumber business much contracted. This is a
natural and inevitable result, and when it does
come many persons who are now actively en
gaged in it will have to seek some other voca
tion. And where is there one which is more
honorable and respectable, more promotive of
happiness and contentment, or better calcula
ted to bring an individual into affluent circum
stances, than that of agriculture 1 Objections,
it is true, may be raised to a mountainous sec
tion of country as having many disadvanta
ges; but all these obstacles can be overcome,
if properly managed. Massachusetts was at
one time a barren, sterile, rocky region, void
of cultivation and not producing enough to
supply her inhabitants. Now, however, under
a system of scientific farming, she Las become
rich and productive, ami her agriculturists arc
ranked among the best in the country. And
why should not similar results be arrived at
here where we have the advantage of naturally
productive valleys, and adjacent uplands that
are susceptible of easy improvement ? "VVe
know no reason, aud if, as we see stated, there
are deposits of good lime in the county, the
making of rich, productive forms will be ren
dered the more easy. We trust that those
who are more immediately interested in agri
culture will exert themselves in arousing the
citizens of our county to a proper appreciation
of the importance cf this sul ject.
REPCOAcnixo Americans. On hist Sabbath,
we listened to a sermon delivered by Bishop
Young, of Eric, in the Catholic church in
this place. In the course of his remarks he
referred to the Know-Nothing movement, and
with all the gravity and solemnity imaginable
made the startling announcement that "Jesus
Christ was not an Americau that he was a
foreigner and a Jew by birth," and that "the
only exclusively American religion was wit
nessed in the horrid orgies and nasty practi
ces of a sect who had perched themselves on
the peaks of the Kocky mountains, and in the
valley of the Salt Lake." Are American cit
izens to be thus reproached for the lewd, sin
ful and outrageouS practices of the Mormons ?
Are they to be charged with being the cause
of these T And who, after all, constitute the
mass of this deluded class 1 Every intelligent
reader knows that since their settlement in
the Salt Lake valley, their greatest accessions
have bet-n from abroad, and it is but recently
that we saw mention made of 2(Jl)0 Europeans
being on their way to join this sect in their
present home. And yet Americans are to be
blamed for "the horrid orgies and nasty prac
tices" of these foreign followers of the Moi
mon prophet ! We think, if His Holiness, the
Bishop, would confine himself to his appro
priate mission of "Christ and Him crucified,"
instead of indulging in slang phrases and abu
sive epithets of the American people such as
-'midnight cabal," "bands of traitors," etc.,
dc. it might give less cause for the fault find
ings and "persecutions" to which he alluded.
Wc hare seldom listened to a more Jesuitical
sermon, or cue more calculated to stir up the
l:golry and passions of his audience. While
pretending to counsel them to bear, silently,
persecution and reproach for Christ's sake, he
did not fail to remind them of all that could
appeal to their prejudice and arouse their hos
tility to Americans and Protestants refer
ring, among other things, to the Louisville e
Scction riots, and representing that numbers
rof faithful catholics were there shot down in
the lreets, because they adhered to the reli
gion of Jesus ! The Bishop is good at telling
dis side of the story, and this is a fair speci
men of his pacific and charitable admonitions
to his flock.
New Advertisements. Special attention is
directed to the new advertisements in to-day's
Jcurnal. The administrators of J. Fearce,
dee'd, offer for sale a piece of land in Chest
township. A blacksmith is wanted, at Gra
harnton. Jas. M. Kelly cautions the public
against purchasing or meddlicg with a certain
span of horses. E. S. Dundy, Esq., publishes
an auditor's notice. Jno. Kussel!, trustee, of
fers for sale several tracts pf land, late the es
tate of James Moore, dee'd.
Storm. On last Sunday evening, a heavy
rain storm, accompanied bythuader and light
ning, passed over this neighborhood. A num
ber of trees were struck by the lightning. We
have not heard of any serious damage having
been done. The rain was much needed, and
in that respect the storm was of great benefit.
A Tremendous Excitement, we understand,
was raised on last Wednesday at Philipsbur",
on the arrival of the "hack from Tyron.cs. If
the individual who produced it had his just
deserts, he would be turned out to browsa on
thistles, which are said to be emblematical of
his peculiar genus.
Rafting. The recent rains along the river

have rafts to run, are taking advantage.

Railroad M.fETisG. A meeting was called
last evening in the Court House, on about ten
minutes notice, to hear Mr. E. K. Landis, and
other gentlemen from Philadelphia, who were
on their way to celebrate the coming Fourth
Mr. Laudi was just from a meetiDg of the
Board of Directors of the Sunburv and Erie

CLIPPINGS AND SCEIBELINGS.
The Connecticut House of Representatives
has appropriated $15,000 for a school for idi
ots. The Senate has yet to act upon the ap
propriation.
The third trial of Wm. Arrison, the alleg
ed murderer of the Allisons, will commence at
Cincinnati on Monday, July 7. It is thought
some difficulty will ensue in cmpannelingajury.
Attention Bcciianan Men ! All of you who

Memphis Whig.
Ir is rumored in Washington that in case
Mr. Buchanan should be elected, Mr. Slidell
will be Secretary of State, and Gen. Quitman
Secretary of War. What a glorious time the
filibusters would then have !
Davis, the murderer of Johnston, was ar
rested at Saltsburg, on the 23d June, and the
Shcriil of Indiana county conducted him to
Hollidaysburg.where he is now securely lodg
ed te await his trial at the next court.
It is stated that the three "American" jour
nals in New Hampshire the Concord Repor
ter, the especial organ of Governor Metcalf,
the Manchester .Imerican, and the Portsmouth
Ballot have all declared for Fremont.
The day fixed for the election of electors
to elect a President and Vice President of the

first Monday in November, in all the States
It will fall thi3 year upon the 4th day of the

Tiif farmers of Chicago, Illinois, and its
vicinity, are preparing to cut their wheat,
which is said te be a fair average crop. Spring
wheat, oats and corn are suffering from the
continued drought, and the grass crop will be
rather light from the same cruse.
"Eick and Breck," the rallying cry of the
democracy, is suggestive. The following sa
tirical hit is from the Berkshire County Eagle :
'We know what to look for when Arnold Doug
lass drives the democratic team, with a "Haw,
Buck! Gee, Breck! G'lang there, dang ye!'"
A Great Tailors Shop. M. Godillot, in
Paris, employs sixty-six sewing machincs,kept
in motion by a steam engine of nine horse
power, and which' sewcl all tfie overcoats for i
the Crimean army. Besides the machines,onc
thousand women and girls are constantly en
gaged in sewing.
Bolting Beck. The St. Louis .Inzciger des
West ess, a German daily and weekly paper,
with a large circulation and much influence
among the Germans in the West, which has
hitherto acted with the Administration, repu
diates both the platform and the candidates of
the Cincinnati Convention.
New York. In the city of New York, the
Tribune, Times, Herald, Post, and Courier and
Enquirer, support the nomination of Fremont.
Buchanan is supported by the Journal of Com
merce and News, and Fillmore by the Express
and Mirror. The weight of talcut and influ
ence is Immeasurably on the side of Fremont.
An affray occurred in Williamsburg, Blair
county, on the 21st June, in which a man nam
ed Christopher H. Hockcr stabbed another
man named Frank Davis, causing his death iu
a few minutes. Hocker fled immediately af
ter the perpetration of the deed, and at last
accounts he had not been arrested. Both par
ties were intoxicated at the time.
A singular mode of robbery has been de
tected at Dublin. A man used to send a large
press by the Liverpool steamer, headed "'this
side up." In this press was a compartment
in which lie bid himself. At night, when all
was still, he would get out and rob the ware
house of valuables, and retreating to his hiding-place,
would be safely conveyed with his
plunder to his own house.
The Utica Observer says pigions are devas
tating the newly planted corn fields, in the
counties of Cattaraugus and Chatauquc, and
in that of Erie Penn., to such an extent that
the farmers are in despair. Not a field of corn
escapes, and so strong are the flocks of birds,
in point of numbers, that the hunting them
with guns and all other usual methods of
frightening them, amounts to naught.
The followino are the names of a few of the
conic-outers from the "Democracy :" Ham
lin and Morrill, of Maine ; Cleveland, of Con
necticut ; Preston King, Abijah Mann, D. K.
Tompkins, A. S. Murray, J. J. Vide, D. G.
Floyd and P. Dorshcinier, of N. York ; F. P.
Blair, of Maryland ; A. P. Stono and N. II.
Swayne, of Ohio; Trumbull, Bisscll, Kcerner
and Knox, in Illinois, and W. C. Bryant, in
New York.
The wnEAT harvest is progressing rapidly in
Ohio, and in Tennessee aud Kentucky is draw
ing to a close. In the southern parts of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, the wheat will all be cut
duriDg the present week. In some parts of
Virginia aud Tennessee the fly has injured the
crop, but the grain fully matured,and is there
fore of a superior qua.'H.y; and tho great in
crease in the amount sown will SWCll the crop
beyond au average one.
Worth trying. The Maine Cultivator says :
"When a cucumber Is taken from ths vines
let it be cut with a knife, leaving about the
eighth of an inch of the cucumber on the
stem, then slit tho stem with a knife from its
end to the vine, leaving a small portion of the
cucumber on each division,.aad on each sepa
rate slit there will be a new c.fs cumber 3 large
a3 the first. Those wishing to raise large
quantities of this article for pickles will do
well to try the experiment."
Judge Kellog, of Michigan, made his first
visit to the Federal Capital last week. Not
certain as to where he was when the cars stop
ped, he followed the rest of the passengers
who were leaving. As he entered the main
hall of tho depot, he saw one man caning an
other ferociously all over the room. " When I
saw that," said the Judge, "Ikncvs I.rcasia
Washington, immediately," The sarcasm of
the remark is as biting as the wit is pungent.

J. A. RHODES, E.i : Dear Sir As I took your
medicine to sell on consignment, -no cure no pa v.''
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to
me by three brothers who live in this place, and.
their testimony is a fair f pecimen cf all I have re
ceived :
W. S. Conklin told dic '1 had taken niao bot
tles of Christie's Ague Ralsaai.and continually ruit
down while using it nutil my lungs and liver wero
Congested to that degree that blood discharge!,
from mv mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible lor me to live th:T,ugh another chill.
The doctors too did all they could for me, but tho't j
I must die

Jvtioue s J-ever and Ague Cure, which at once re
lieved me of the distress and nausea at m v stomach.
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced u .
permanent cure 111 a snort tuno.
11. M. Conklin says: "I had been taking medi- '
cine of as good a doctor as we havo iu our county.
and taken any quantity ot quinine and specilit-s s
w ithout any pood result, from 25th August to 17th.
December. Rut seeing how nicely it operated on
my brother, I got a bottle of Rhodes" Fever and A- j
gue Cure, which effected a permanent cure by us- "
lr.g two-thirds 01 a bottle.
M. Conklin was not here, but both tlie other
brothers say his case was tho same as II. M's. I
sold the anedicine to both the same day, and tho
ture us ypcci j--r iIia uuuu email uuuiiy,
and I niigjit so specify. Yours with respect.
A. H L'NTINO TON.
Tho above speaks for itself, (iooa proof as it is.
it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like
certificates I have already published, and the still
greater amount that iscontinually pouring iu to inc.
One thing more. Last year I had occasion tocnu
tion tho public in tlicso words : - notice one firm
who have taken one of my general circulars, wh
sliinted the. name of th ir nostrum, for tut tnedi
cine, and then with brazeji impiulenee cud their
pamphlet with the. exclamation, 1st the proprietor
of any other medicine say a much if lie dares'' ire
Now I take pleasure ia saying that the caution
referred to the same '-Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam"
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There arc several other industrious poople who
are applying to their poisonous tras.h all that 1
publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except tho certificates of cures.
and the certificate of the celebrated Chemist. Dr.
James R. Chilton, of N. Y., in favor of its perfect
ly harmless character, which is attached to every
bottlo. These will always serve to distinguish my
medicine from imitations. JAS. A. RHODES,

THESE PILLS PURIFY THE ELOOD.
These famous Pills are expressly combined to op
erate on the stomach, tho liver, tho kidneys, the
lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting any de
rangemeut in their functions, purifying the blood,
tho very fountain of life, and thus curing disease
iu all its tonus.
OISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human raco have taken these
Pills. It has been proved in all parts of the world,
that nothing has been found cqnal to them in cases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon givo a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged, and
when all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have o
pencd their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses.' Learned Colleges admit that this
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per
sons of delicate health, or where the system hxs
been impaired, as its invigorating properties r.evcr
fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.

ses like a charm. It is also the best and salest
