"'-AFFAIRS AT HOME.
AoaiccLToat. Oa the 4th page we publish
portion of an address delivered by lion. J.
Jloyt, 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 vAiich
too much attention cannot be bestowed. This
remark is particularly applicable when refer
ence is bad to this section of country. The
business of lumbering so absorbs tho atten
tion of a large - proportion of our peoplo 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 be within, comparatively speaking, a
lew 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 ? 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,
it 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 has become
rich and productive, and her agriculturists are
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 I "We
know no reason, and if, as we see stated, there
are deposits of good lime in the county, the
making of rich, productive farms will be ren
dered the more easy. tVe 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
vt the importance of this subject.
Railroad Mnmixc A meeting was called
last evening in the Court House, oa about ten
minutes notice, to hear Mr. L K. Laudis, and
other gentlemen from Philadelphia, w ho were
on tLeir way to celebrate the coming Fourth.
Mr. Laudis was just from a meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Sunbury and Erie
Eoud, where niuusures were taken to secure
the immediate completion of the western end
of that road. Mr. Landis made a very appro
priate speech. The meeting was also address
ed by II. B. Swoope and Hon. G. K. Barrett.
L. J . Crans, Esq., presided.
lvEPROAcniNG Americans. On last Sabbath,
we listened to a sermon delivered by Bishop
Yorxc, 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 American that he was a
foreigner and a Jew by birth," and that 'ithe
n!y exclusively American religion was wit
nessed in the horrid orgies and nasty practi
ces of a sect who had perched themselves on
tho peaks of the liocky 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 tho Monnous ?
Are they to be charged with being the cause
of these T Aud who, after all, constitute the
mass of this deluded class ? Every intelligent
reader knows that since their settlement in
the Salt Lako valley, their greatest accessions
have been from abroad, and it is but recently
that we saw mention made of 2000 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
hion prophet ! We think, if His Holiness, the
Bishop, would confine himself to his appro
priate mission of "Christ aud Him crucified,"
instead of indulging in slang phrases and abu
sive epithets of the American people such as
midnight cabal," "bands of traitors," etc.,
etc. it might give less cause for the fault find
ings and 'persecutions' to which he alluded.
VTe have seldom listened to a more Jesuitical
ermon, or one more calculated to stir up the
'bigotry and rhissions of his audience. While
pretending to counsel them to bear, silently
jcrsecution and reproach for Christ's sake, he
ilid 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
lection riots, and representing that numbers
of faithful catholics were there shot down in
the streets, because they adhered to the reli
gion of Jesus ! The Bishop is good at telling
bis side of the story, and this is a fair spec i
men of his pacific and charitable admouitions
to his flock.
JCew AnvEttTisEMtSTS. Special attention is
directed to the new advertisements in to-day's
Journal. The administrators of J. Pcarce,
dee'd, offer for sale a piece of land in Chest
township. A blacksmith is wanted at Gra
liamton. Jas. M. Kelly cautions the public
against purchasing or meddling with a certain
span of horses. E. S. Dundy, Esq., publishes
an auditor's notice. Jno. Russell, trustee, of
fers for sale several tracts of land, late the cs
tato of James Moore, dee'd.
CLIPPINGS AND SCEIBBLIJTQS.
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 Win. Arrison, the alleg
ed murderer of the Allisons, will commence at
Cincinnati on Monday, July 7. It is thought
some difficulty will ensue in empanncling a jury.
Attention Buchanan Men ! All of you who
have "any Democratic blood in your veins," are
hereby ordered to repair to the surgeon, and
have it "let out." This order is imperative.
Memphis Whig. '
It is bcmored in Washington that in case
Mr. Buchanan should be elected", Mr. Slidell
will be Secretary of State, and Gen. Quitman
Secretary or War. What a glorious time the
fillibusters would then have !
Davis, the murderer of Johnston, was ar
rested at Saltsburg, on the 23d June, and the
Sheriff of Indiana county conducted him to
nollidaysburgjWhere he is now securely lodg
ed tc await his trial at the next court.
It is stated that the three " American" jour
nals in Xew Hampshire the Concord Repor
ter, the especial organ of Governor Metcalf,
the Manchester .imtrican, and the Portsmouth
Ballot have all declared for Fremont.
The dat fixed for the election of electors
to elect a President and Vice President of the
United States, is the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, in all the States.
It will fall this year upon the 4th day of the
! month.
Thf farmers of Chicago, Illinois, and its
vicinity, are preparing to cut their wheat,
which is said tc 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.
"Bcck 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 machines, kept
in motion by a steam engine of nine horse

the Crimean army. Besides the ruachiues.one
thousand women and girls are constantly en
gaged in sewing.

Jcdoe 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 the depot, he saw one man caning an
other ferociously all over the room. "When I
saw that," said the Judge, "I knew I was in
Washington, immediately." The sarcasm of
the remark is as biting as the wit is pungent.

Storm. On last Sunday evening, a heavy
rain storm, accompanied by thunder and light

press by the Liverpool steamer, beaded "this

house of valuables, and retreating to his hiding-place,
would be safely conveyed with his
plunder to his own house.
The ITtica Observer says pigions are devas
tating the newly planted corn fields, in the
counties of Cattaraugus and Chatauquc, and
in that of Erie Pcnn., 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 cuns and all other usual methods of
frightening them, amounts to naught.

The wheat harvest is progressing rapidly in

A HUMAN LIFE SAVED !
Dowauiac. Mich.. March 11. 1S5C.
J. A. RHODES, Esq : Dear Sir As I took your
medicino to sell on consignment, -no cure no .pay,"
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to
me by threo brothers w ho live in this ilace, aud
their testimony is a fair tpeeimcu vf all 1 have re
ceived :
W. S. Conkliu told me '! had taken nine bot
tles of Christie's Ague I'.aUa ii.and continually run
down while using it until my lungs and liver were
Congested U that degree that blood discharged
from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible for me to live through another chill.
The doctors too did all they could for roe, but tho't
I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got
Rhode's Fever and Ague Cure, which at once re
lieved me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a
permanent cure in a short time.
H. M. Conklin says : had been taking medi
cine of aa good a doctor as we have in our eounty,
and taken any quantity of quinine and specific
without any good result, from 25th August tolTth
December. l!ut seeing how nicely it operated on
my brother, I got a bottle of Rhodes' Fever and A
gue Cure, which effected a permanent cure by us
ing two-thirds of a bottle."
S. M. Conklin was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as H. M s. I
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity,
and I might so specify. Yours with respect.
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Gooo proof as it is,
it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like
certificates I have already published, and the still
groateramount that iseontinually pouriDg in to me.
One thinjr more. Last year I had occasion to cau
tion the public in theje words : " noticeonefirm
who have taken one of mit general circulars, sub
stituted the tiame o f thr.tr nostrum for my mrdi
cine, and then with brazen impudence end thrir
pamphlet with the exclamation, -Iet the proprietor
of any other medicine say as much if he darcx'c
Now I take pleasure iu saying that the caution
referred to the same "Dr. Christie's Agne Balsam"
that is mentioued in tbe above certificate.
There are several other industrious people who
are applying to their poisonous traih all that I
publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or AntiT
dote to Malaria, except the certificates of euros,
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
bottle. These will always serve to distinguish my
medicine from imitations. JAS. K. RHOl'ES, '.
