Is Jail. A man named George Xeagle was
lodged in our jail on the 12th, and another
named John Orner yesterday, charged with
having one night last January taken !roni the
Cresson House on the mountain in Cambria
county a lot of bed clothing, knifes, forks,
Jtc, en their own confession. Sercl haps,
lour blankets, live and a half dozen case
knives, three carving knives, and a looking
glass, which were hidden in tj woods, were
given up by Xeagle and Orner, who implicate
others in the transaction. The Sheriff of
Cambria has been notified of the arrest. The
articles, it is said, belong to the Pennsylvania
railroad company. The prisoners are resi
dents of Cambria connty.
Buookville Republican. This is the name
ot a neatly printed, spirited and well edited
paper, which we have found on our table. We
presume it is sound in politics, and wish it
success.
Wc observe that it knows how to appreciate
a good article copies from us compliments
"us but says rather too much. Wc shall put
the Republican on our exchange list, if for no
other reason, to observe when it copies copy
righted articles. Doubt if it would have dis
covered the anachronism it the Major, who was
at the baptism, had n t lived in the same town.
We see that Judge Douglas has written a
jdiort and pointed letter to Col. John L. Pey
ton, on naturalization and the African slave
trade, substantially as follows: "There can
be no difference in the degiees of protection
accorded by government to native and'natu
ralized citizens. Our Constitution recognizes
no difference in this respect. If a person can
expatriate himself from a foreign government
and svjrear allegiance to this, and still owe any
thing to the foreign power, he is in the singu
lar and incredible predicament of owing alle
giance to two countries without being entitled
to tho protection of either. He would accord
the fullest protection to all our citizens. In
the Convention the Constitution was a crea
ture of compromise, and the African slave
trade was the subject. South Carolina and
Georgia wished to continue it ; Virginia, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, wished
it terminated; New England was passive in
the matter ; South Carolina and Georgia final
ly carried their point of continuance till the
year 18G8, with the understanding that it
f-hould then end. It, therefore, became the
vital compromise of the instrument, and must
be held as sacred as the instrument itself.
I: this view, Judge Douglas declares himself
to be irrevocably opposed to the re-opening of
the African slave-trade."
Eight Children ! They will allow ns this
point of exclamation, for if a person is ever
permitted to be astonished it is in the prcs-ence-of
a woman who has given birth to eight
-children on one day. This phenomenal moth
er is called Eunice Bradley, and lives at John
ion in Trumbull county, Ohio.
Eight children ! After all, the father should
stop there, if he knew the proverb of the good
clog who run a race. Iudeed, the grandmoth
er of his fruitful half had had rive pair of
twins ; one of these girls had married into a
family where there were only twin?, and from
this marriage sprung the first year three in
fants, of w hich Miss Eunice Mowery was the
eldest. Six years ago, when Timothy Bradley
espoused this woman, who then weighed 273
pounds, his friends. predicted that so large a
woman, the issue of such parents, could not
fail -To bring him a large family. The result
justified their prediction. The first year Mrs.
Bradley had twins, and fifteen months after she
gave birth to twins. The good Timothy tho?t
to quit at four, but he counted without his
wife, who, on the 2nd instant, became mother
of eight children three boys and five girls
all small, it is true, but well formed and full of
licalth. Without being cast down by this un
expected event, Bradley, who is a poor man,
asked three of the richest men in the neigh
borhood to act as god-fathers for his sons.
1 hey aceefitey', amj on the day of baptism one
of theni, Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, gave to
his god son a magnificent gold rneaj.; the sec
ond, Mr. James Johnson, sent to bis a .fine
milch cow; and Xje last, the' Hon. Elijah
Champlin, made a prasest to .the child he held
at the baptismal foot, of 50 acres of land.
With such god-fathers, the father ed fear no
more that his children shall ever Iaekkread.

At h:s residence in Penn township, on Tues

GLEswoRrn, aged about 30 years.
Suddenly and unexpectedly a devoted wife
and .four young awi fovcy ChH-dreti are be
reaved of the head and pride of the family;
and neighbors are called to pay the last trib
ute of respect to one they knew but to love.
Surrounded bg all that his heart desired, this
amiable man went to rest as the wearied child
to his slumber, lie bard taken no part in the
busy and active affairs of life ; his disposition
and temperament led him to seek enjoyment
at the fireside and in the social circle there
his affable conduct and lovely qualities made
him shine, and knit his friends to him by indis
soluble bonds. In ail the relations of life his
conduct was marked with frankness, honesty,
and good humor. Aught never ruffled his brow;
a harsh expression rarely escaped his lips- He
was for years a consistent church member.
'The soul of origin 'divine,
God's glorious image freed from clay,
In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine
-A star of day." C.
At the residence of his soil near Cherrylree
borough, Clearfield Co., Pa., Aug. 8th, Mr.
William Mahaffkt, aged 80 years and 8
months. He was for a long time a cittect of
Lycoming count', where he enjoyed the con
fidence and esteem of all who knew him. He
united with the Presbyterian church (O. S.)
of New Berry, then under the charge of Rev.
John Grier. The promises of God, that he
relied upon in health, v.-ere- dear to him in sick
ness. The language of his heart was, "not
my ivilS but thine, o Lord, be done." Altho'
his sufferings were intense and almost insup
portable for a period of three months, yet liot
a murmur escaped his lips. His last words
were, "come Lord and take me home." He
has left a numerous family of children and
grandchildren to mourn their irreparable loss.
Yet their loss is his infinite gain. "Let me
die the death of the righteous, let my last end
be like his." The funeral occasion was im
proved by Rev. J. P. Kennedy of the Presby
terian church, from Rev. 14 13.
"Where Jesus dwells my soul would be.
And pants my much loved Lord to sec ;

SCROFULA, OR KINO'S EVIL, isacon
stitutional disease, a taint, or corruption of the
blood, by which this Uuid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being iu the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and, abave all. by the venereal infec
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, desoendiug from parents '-to children
unto the third ami fourth generation ; " iudcl it
seems to be the rod of Him who says, -'l w ill visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon tboirchildrcn."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous inatter,whioh, in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ie
the glands, swellings,' and on tho surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases ; consc- !
qucntly, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which decent inates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination , and many destructive diseases of the
liver, k id n3Ts, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the systom we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Cornmimd Extract of Sttrxapa-rilla.
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this everywhere pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
most active remedial that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains
and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rhcutnati"in, SyphiliHc and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief iu ''impuri
ty of the blood''' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpose
and virtue of the Sarsaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital Uuid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AYER'S CATHARTIC YlA&. foraU the punw
ses of a familif physic, are so composed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every
portion of the huiuau organism, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inaltd
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting
Not only do they euro the cvery-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and dan
gerous diseases. The agent below named is pleas
ed to furnish gratis my American Almanac, con
taining certificates of their cures and directions
for their uso in the following complaints: Cos
liveness, Heartburn, Headache, arising from dis
ordered Stomari, Nattsea, Indigestion. Pain in
and Morbid ln-ictton. of the Bowels, Flatulency,
Loss of Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
C roup, Broiichitis,Inciv'f nt Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumjitice- Patients in advanced
stages of the disease. So wido is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi
ority over every other medicine of its kird is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vir
tues are known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affactionBof tho pulmonary organs that arc in
cident to onr climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on tho afflicted they cau
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the publie journals, by a New York Gift
Sto.e, which are calculated to deceive ; who even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of tho Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say ho&arably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, '-TheOldest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but for stock to-eommenco
with, and a plaoe to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is "Tho fifth yeaj? of tUir location
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thought, on account f the naruo
connected with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but it is
not so, and I wish it distinctly understood, that I
mil not in any way responsible for their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of tha Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States having es
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, by constant labor, unwearied application,
and large expenditure of money, I doemU my du
ty to the publio and myself to exposo- these pre
tended ' originators," who are attomptiag- to im
pose upon the people. I would here pubUely state
that theso parties have been referring, without
authority or permission, to tho largest and most
widely known publishing house , in th United
States. Iam inormed by this na. which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift SUre to
refer to them, but they utterly disclaim any knowl-'
edge of their business or standing: -The fore
going can bo substantiated to the satisfaction of
any person or persons, by tho most incontroverti
ble proofs. July U, I85'v-Ca.
