Ccrwexsvillk Boro' and Pike Tr. There
was considerable interest, in a political point
of view, taken in the election held on the 20th,
in these districts. A friend, in writing to us,
asys: "In tho borough we had little opposi
tion, no regular ticket being formed agamt us,
arid the Democracy only votinjr for Inspector.
with some half dozen votes for other ollicers.
Consequently our majority is about forty, all
through. In the township the Democracy
went to considerable trouble to form a ticket,
having prior to the election, held three con
ventions to make nominations, and boasted
very loudly that they had every thing their
own way. The result shows that we beat them
lor every ofliee in tho township, excepting
town clerk, for which ollice we did not run a
candidate. The vote of tho township was a
largo one for a township election, "6 votes
leing polled, out cf which wc polled 7o. Th'.
majority for our candidates in the township,
Wis from 11 to 23 on the entire ticket. Tho
fact is our party feel glorious over the result
cf this littlo election, and feel confident that
hereafter we can hold them lervl in I'ikc town
ship, as well as the borough of Curwensville."

supper was supcr-excelleut.
C-'Society, like shaded silk, must be view

D"Mr. Appletion, the new editor of the
Washington Union, was formerly an "aboli

rX7Tho Board of Revenue Commissioners,
which convened at Harrisburg on the 11th, are
still in session, actively at work.
D"There are said to be 8,820 females em
ployed in the Lowell Mills, in Massachusetts.

C"A bill has passed the House of Repre
sentatives, increasing the pay of j urors in Lan
caster county to $1,50 per day, and of witnes

CF"Sensible suggestion. The Washington
City Star strongly recommends the adoption
of the cash system by the whole newspaper
press of the country.
C "An English writer classified old maids
and bachelors as "solitary mature men and
women who have nothing happening to them."
He ought to have his ears boxed.
" CA young ;vidder." A couple was mar
ried in the cars of tho Memphis and Charles
ton railroad a few weeks Rince. The bride
was a widow aged sixteen years.
D"Slightly befuddled the individual who
wanted an officer to arrest his shadow, the oth
er night, complaining that he did not believe
in being followed by such an ill-looking
scoundrel.
D "The Grand Jury of Clinton county ig
nored the bill against young Smoke, who shot
his father a few months ago. It is generally
believed to have been an accident, as declared
by tho father previous to his death.
K7The Tartars pnll a man by tho car when
they want him to drink, and keep pulling un
til he opens his mouth, when they pour down
tho liquor. We know some folks whoso ears
would not require much pulling.
C7"In Manchester, New Hampship, on the
13th, two women, named Ilcttessy and Cough
lin, got into a quarrel about a piece of cheese,
during which the former threw the latter on
the floor and beat her so badly that she died
shortly afterwards.
!T7It is stated that Mr. Keitt, the intimate
friend of the late Preston S.Brooks, and par
ticipator in the Sumner assault, is confined to
his bed with the identical disease of which
Mr. Brooks died. The coincidence is some
what singular.
C-"The height of lolly half a dozen broth
crs, four uncles, and a grey-headed father try
ing to stop a girl from getting married to tbo
'man she loves, and loves he-; just as if lad
dors were out of date and all the horses in the

C7Gov. Pollock has offered 500 reward
for the murderer of Xorcross at Altoona ; Gov.
Gardner of Massachusetts $500; the citizens
of Pittsburgh $500 ; the friends of tho de
ceased $500, and tho citizens of Altoona $200,
making in all $2,200.
K7"Uov. McRca, of Mississippi, in his re
cent message to the Legislature, says that he
is Governor far life. It seems that the Legis
lature of 1854 in making changes in the con
stitution, have managed to make the term of
governorship perpetual.
C7A mother and four daughters, all of
whom reside at Northampton, Massachusetts,
have, collectively, approached the altar of Hy

four husbands, one of her daughters four, and

was disposed of by the Supremo Court, and
tho prisoner ordered to be bung on tho 13th of

H7"A St. Faul, Minnesota, paper says : A
large and beautiful elk went down Third street
the other day, with a cutter, and two young
men as drivers. Ho did not exhibit a very
well defined trot, though he was very manago
able, but when ho opened his gait, it was a cau
tion to all fast 'crabs' on the track. Wonder
if wo hadn't better sell all our nags South ;
bucks are said to bo plenty in the back coun
try." 'Thenr Minnesotians seem to bo 'fast'
people.
E7"A rather rich winding up of a murder
trial came off a few days ago in Detroit, Mich
igan. A pedlar, named Samuel Kitcr, was
missed by his friends. He was last seen en
tering tho house of a Mr. Bickley. Foul play
was suspected, and Mrs. Bickley, daughter
and another woman arrested, charged with
murdering him. Blood was discovered on the
floor and wall, human hairs with it, bones and
a piece of cloth in an ash barrel, and something
burning was smelt by ono witness. On Satur

LET US REASON TOGETHER,
HOLLOW AY'S PILLS'
WHY ARE Wfi SICK V - - ;
IT has been tho lot of the human race to be weih
cd down by disoasc and suffering. .HOLLO-
WAY'S PILLS are specially adapted to the relief
of tho WEAK, tho NERVOUS, the DELICATE,
and the INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Holloway personally m
pcrintends the manufacture of bis medicines in tho -.
United States, and offers them tea free and enlighi-
cned people, as tbe best remedy the world, ever. s
saw for the removal of disease.
THESE PILLS PURtFY THE BLOODC.
These famous Pills arc expressly combined to cp
erato on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, tha
lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting anyde
rangement in their functions, purifying the blood.
the very fountain of life, and that caring. diseaaa
in all its forms.
OISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAfNTS, :
Nearly half the human race have taken tkese
Pills, fr-his been proved in all part -f tho world,
that nothing has been found equal ta tUm in cases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon give 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 of
pened 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 has-
been unpaired, as its invigorating properties nover
fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should be without this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and rcgulatcsth
mommy courses at all periods, acting in many ca
ses like a charm. It is also the best and safuet
medicine that can be iven to Children of all ags.
and for any complaint; consequently no family
should be without it.
