LOCAL AHD PERSONAL
The old year and the new. Years
have been aptly compared to men. They
are born like men, and they grow, mature,
aii J die like men. And in obedience to
this dispensation, since we last had the
pleasure of holding "sweet converse" with
our readers, an old year has died, and a
ncw year has been born. On Saturday
niirht last, just as the old clock tolled
twelve, Eighteen hundred and Fifty
xix k, having finished its course, was
leathered to its fathers." Calmly and
serenely, and with the stars to watch its
departure, it yielded to the irrevocable
Jeeree of Time, and took its flight to the
mysterious Past. It was a great old year,
was 1S59. It was characterized by great
events. It had its troubles and its sor
rows, its joys and its hopes. It was mark
ed by unseasonable frosts, yet it saw
Mother Karth yielding bountifully the
fruits of the husbandman's toil. In the
OM World, it witnessed fierce conflicts ;
it saw Liberty throttled, and Despotic
Tower triumphant ; but it saw Despotisms
totter and left them tottering. In our
own country, it witnessed contending par
i ii. . ...
its, and even nau its ears pierced with
he traitor's cry of "Disunion but though
the old year died, the Union still lives.
Moreover, during the past vear. Death.
hat foe to mortality, has been unusually
iby. He has visited the palaces of the
Vieh, as well as the humble cottacres of
he poor ; and in his work of havoc and
isolation, mankind shall we say it ?
ave freely given him assistance Un
.eeessary wars, and those beautiful badges
f civilization, the duel, the gibbet and
ihe guillotine, have well and faithfully
kerveJ his purpose. Truly, the old year
.as seen the grim monster in many forms;
t has seen many a poor mortal die ; and
J. j the old year itself has died. To the
id, whether it be the mortal or the vear,
e can only say, "peace to thy manes. '
J5ut we are now under a new dispensa
n. Just as old ls."i9 piped out, his
Ji-eessor, ElliHTEEN II I'XDKEl) AND SlX
i' was Lorn ; and Time, whose motto is
roirreiMon, immediately crowned him
L.oiiareh of the year. Ihe young prince
aiae to his birth at a cold season snow
:J iee everywhere the whole brow of
reatiou shaggy with hoar-frost. This is
i 't as it should be. As a matter of taste,
t is a sad arrangement. Time and Na
are would much better liarmonize did the
ear have its beginning in the springtime;
that deligitful season when the genial
uhine gladL'us everything ; when the
t-o.i bud, and tK fiowers spring up ; when
ntlo breezes send fWth wcet music, and
e dear little birds sin; th praises of
ir great Creator. But it were idle to
k iibout changing this arrangement ; we
uM not change it if we could. It has
coin u a fixture, and we are content that
-viulier shall end, and January hegin
f o year.
In events of importance, the new year
'1 oipial, if not surpass, its immediate
rodeecssor. Durini' its cv-h a (Jover-
o j 7
r will b elected for our own .State, and
President will be chosen to watch over
destinies of our great and mighty Ile
blic. Wc may state, also, that 100,
"11 be one day longer than 1859. It is
,-ap year ; a time when the order of some
uigs at least is reversed ; a year in which
the saying is) "the girls court the boys,
t the boys the girls." These facts will
themselves render the new year one of
ortancc But it will be important in
ny other aspects. It will bring siek-
s, and sorrow, and sadness, to many a
usehold ; to others, it will bring health,
Hid p a-e, aud comfort. It will give life
id bed li" to millions? to million if in-ill
the end of their earthly hopes. It will
tiH-ss the taking of many good resolu-
"is; many of them kept; many of them
"ken. And last, though not least, it
d, as its predecessors have done before
witness too many of the follies and
'u-foolrries which pertain to mankind.
1 1 let us hone, that 100 will have a
1 '
'n eye to Progress, and that it may
rk an era in the advancement of the
I'uan race. Meantime, we wish the
ader a happy now year I
Oi'K Thanks. We return out thanks
Mr. J. Keil, of Wilmore, for an excel-
l pair of gloves, given us last week.
Ie s a whole-souled fellow, and is deserv-
K of a liberal patronage from the citi-
"a of that place.

good singing. The procession in the af
ten.oon was highly imposing, and number
ed seventy .Sons and Daughters. We are
informed, that the Order is now in a most
prosperous condition, and its members are
determined to press onward in their worker
of Bencvotcucc and Beform. J
Important to Postmasters. Post
masters arc reminded that the sending of
notices to parties having letters detained
for non-payment of postage, is at all times
a mere matter of courtesy, and that this
courtesy is not to be shown where the
failure to prepay, in whole or in part, is
clearly intcntionable upon the part of the
writer. .Such an intention may be fairly
presumed where large numbers of unpaid
letters are deposited by the same person,
especially if that person be a lottery deal
er ; or where a letter, intended to go by
mail, bears but a single one-cent stamp.
In cases of the latter kind, the letter is
neither to be forwarded as postpaid, nor
is any notice to be given to the party ad
dressed. The attention of the Post Office Depart
ment has been called to this subject by
various persons, who, through the well
intended courtesy of postmasters, have
been induced to pay the postage upon cer
tain "grand schemes" and extensive cir
culars, addressed to them by cunning op
erators in the lottery business.
No paper last week. Many of our
cotemporaries did not publish a paper last
week. It was our intention, however, to
publish one ; but owing to the illness of
one of our Publishers, it was impossible
for us to do so. Our friends will, we know
excuse us under the circumstances es
pecially when they call to remembrance
the fact, that last week was tJte week be
tween Christmas and Ncw Year's. Edi
tors and Printers will generally have a
,,tj0i ti,uc to themselves during the holi-
- j goou lime lo iiieiuseivcs uunng me non -

-iEEnscHAUM.-We have got a
Meerschaum ; not a mere sham ; not a
potato pipe, with a quill stein to it; not
one of your common white clay pipes, that
you get "throwed into the bargain ;" not
an ordinary green mud pipe, fashioned
after a faun's head ; nor yet a big dutch
pipe, illustrated with "picters," and hung
with tassels, and all that sort of thing ;
but a real, genuine, unadulterated, simon
pure Meerschaum ; such a Meerschaum in
deed as will most likely excite considera
ble envy in meerschaum ic circles. Yes,
we have a Meerschaum ; and we have more.
We have a supply of Tobacco ; not of the
Vuelta de Abajo, or the Colorado Pintado,
or the Havelock brands; not grown upon
the soil of famous Virginia even ; but
Tobacco hailing directly from the domin
ions of His Oriental Highness, the Sultan.
It is the Turkish Tobacco wc have,
the incomparable, unapproachable Turkish
(lolden Leaf Tobacco, done up in mem
branaceous bags without seams, and so
carefully sealed, stamped and labelled as
to leave every thing like doubt about its
genuineness quite 'out of the question.
But it may be asked, how came we by this
Meerschaum and this Tobacco ? for it is
generally knowu that editors cannot of
themselves attain such luxuries. We an
swer we came by them fairly and honestly.
Our Meerschaum and Tobacco were pre
sented to us by a friend and that friend,
gentle reader, is no less a personage than
that prince of good fellows, J. Patton
Thompson, Esq., of the Quaker city. Oft
as wc indulge in our 3Iccrschaum anl
Tobacco, will we think of the munificent
donor from whom we received them. May
his life be useful, and may he live to a se
rene old age ! Aud, finally, when he
comes to bid adieu to the scenes of this
troublesome world, may his spirit soar up
ward even as the smoke of our genuine
Turkish Tobacco ascendeth from our much
prized Meerschaum upward, ever up
ward !
And now, O 3Ieerschaum ! what re
maineth for thee but thy coloring ?
Tkmi'Ku.vnce Procession. The Sons
aud Daughters of Temperance, of this
place and vicinity, on Saturday afternoon
last, celebrated the birth of the Xew Year,
by a public demonstration. They met at
their hall, and from thence proceeded, in
full regalia, to the Welch Independent
Church, where able and impressive ad
dresses were delivered by Messrs. Nick
clson and Williams. In the evening, the
members of the Order, together with a
large number of our citizens, again met
at the church, and listened to addresses
from Messrs. Darker and Litzinger, all of
which were appropriate, and delivered
with ability and effect. The exercises of
the occasion were enlivened by the music
of the choir belonging to the Church a
choir which has become proverbial for its
a u - j.- m v. ------ j ' '
Kail Road Election. As the an
nual election for a President and Board of
Directors of the Ebensburg and Cresson
Rail Road Company is almost at hand, we
have been requested, by the present offi
cers, to call attention to the following
provision in the 8th section of the Gene
al Rail Road Act of this Commonwealth :
No stockholder shall be entitled to vote ot
any election, nor at any general or special
meeting of the company, on whose share or
shares any instalment or arrearages mar be
due more than thirty days next preceding 'said
election or meeting.
We are requested also to remark, that
subscribers of stock, who have failed to
meet their instalments in accordance with
the above provision, will be prohibited
from voting at the approaching election.
And we volunteer the remark, that this
is a capital time for delinquents to call
upon John Williams, Esq., the Treasurer
of the Company, and "sock up."
Life of JonN Brown. A biography
of this remarkable man is to be published
at once, for the benefit of his family. The
author is James Redpath, so prominent in
Kansas annals, an intimate personal friend
of Capt. Brown, and a spirited and graph
ic writer. He is probably better adapted
for the task than any other person in the
country. The work will contain an auto
biographical account of Capt. Brown's
early life. It will be published by Thayer
& Eldredge, of Boston, Mass., and will be
an elegant 12mo. volume of 400 pages,
with engravings, and will also contain a
fine steel portrait ot Brown. 20,000 copies
are already subscribed for. Its sale will
surpass that of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
We understand that the publishers are in
want of agents to circulate it in this section.
Agricultural, Address. The ad
dress delivered by the Hon. George Tay
lor, before the Agricultural Societies of
Blair and Cambria counties, is, wc under
stand, being printed in pamphlet form.
Unless it be very thoroughly circulated
amongst our farmers in that shape, we
will, so soon as wc have the opportunity,
publish it in these columns. It is a doc
ument which may be perused with pleas
ure and profit by all our citizens; but
especially should it find its way to the
home and the fireside of every one who
has a farm or a garden.
Personal. On Tuesday last, the ed
itor of this paper, on invitation, partook
of a Venison Dinner, served up at Thomp
son's Mountain House. The whole affair
was gotten up in the best style, and did
credit even to the Major and his estimable
lady, whose reputation as successful ca
terers to the appetite, is universal. We
need only add, that all present did amplj
justice to the many "good things of this
world" with which the table was filled.
More Testimony. Rev. Alexander
Clark, editor of the "School Visitor,"
says : "We have had ample opportunities
to know that the entire faculty of the Iron
City College is composed of competent and
faithful instructors, that every inducement
announced in the widely diffused adver
tisements of this institution, is promptly
carried out, in the course of study and dis
cipline by which this college has won its
present reputation."
Counterfeit Detector. We have
received Petersons' well known and relia
ble Detector for January. It well and
truly describes one hundred and sixteen
new counterfeits, besides descriptions of
all spurious bank notes now in circulation
over the country. A copy of "Petersons'
complete Coin-Book" will be given gratis
to all subscribers for 1800.
Dickens' Novels. Buy the whole
series of these excellent works now that
it can be purchased so cheap. By send
ing five dollars to T. B. Peterson & Bros.,
300 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, you
will receive the twenty-eight volumes com
posing it post-paid.
"Our Carrier" requests us to return
his sincere aud unadulterated thanks to
the public for the liberal manner in which
his demand for "change" on last Saturday
was met. With the hope that time may
rest lightly on their brows, he once more
retires to private life.
