GEO. HUNTLEY". EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 22, 18G9. How to Get Rich. Beaver Valley, July 9, 18G9. To the .Editors of The Alleghanian s We do not pretend to bo able to lay down any particular method by which one may become rich, the highest ambition of almost every one of us ; but there are a few fundamental principles which must be fallowed by any one who strives to ac- ;re wcaUh . honcst means, and which, .. . , ,11. -u li 11 strict.y adhered to, will, iu the majority of Cases, enable him to realize, it not abso lute wealth, what is, perhaps, in the long run. productive of uioro general happiness and ample competence. Before we pro ceed to notice these principles, we will say that there is no more generally mista ken theory, in our opinion, than to sup pose that in riches lies happiness, and being poor that one must necessarily be miserable. The moderately poor have at their command, and are able to enjoy fully as well as the rich, all the blessings of vouth while it lasts, health, annetite. d jook clicerfulne.ss, and wisdom. . .1 ? 1 , . " 1111 Sluwlu Ui ncm, a uiau a ueuri. too often contracts and becomes selfish, 4 and his tastes and abilities narrowed. To n.lss through life contented with a mndor. ate competence, suthcient lor our wants ; and comfort, to be rich iu health, in cheerfulness, in disposition, in family and friends, and to do all the good that we can in the sphere of life in which our lot has been cast, is indeed to be truly rich, and not to be despised. We are often told that fortune is a fickle dame; that she distributes her fa vors without any discrimination, and that wealth is the result of mere accident or of favorable circumstances, without the exercise of any skill or foresight. Rut still there arc scie principles withoat which she can never be wooed and won, and by the help of which there are but few instances in which wo cannot be success ful in at least attaining a moderate degree of wealth. First and" foremost among these are pre eminent honesty and the strictest integrity in all our dealings and transactions with our fellow men. With out these, every other qualification which we may possesi, all our acthity, inudstry, talent, must and will most assuredly prove ! unavailing. Under no plea whatever should we permit r yuielycsto djj.yiatft, . oven in the most indirect manner, lrom the rigid path of honor and upright dealing, for vhen enco the faintest suspi cion has fallen on ov.r character in this one respect, all confidence iu us is lost, and is hardly ever to bo regained. Punc tuality and method are to ctlu.r most essential elements of ssuccess in life punctuality in the exact and faith Jul ful filment of engagements and promises, and method and dispatch in the management and transaction of our business. Wo have already mentioned industry, and it is hardly necessary to dilate upon the im portance of this principle, as upon it hinges all the others. If we are indus trious, persevering, constant, regular, and systematic, applying ourselves daily to our business, allowing nothing to distract our attention from our duties, we cannot but attain success in our uudertakiugs, provided, of course, that we are not defi cient in the other principles which we have mentioned. It must lead us to wealth, tts idleness and inattention to business always lead-to poverty. TLo ibregoing are essentially the main priucq let which fiord the true secret of succcs? in attaining wealth. But there are still others, which, although perhaps not so absolutely necessary towards the li.uie .ivi ,l money-making, still 111 the mind of every one who follows the pur suits of wealth, not for the sake of the money itself but for what it briugs with it, should ever be acted up to. Frugality in our departments, temperate and mod erate habits, and a generous and self-denying disposition, arc all equally to be desired. Unless we are frugal and prac tice economy', we can never hope to be come rich, and most of the poverty which we sec all around us may be traced back to the want of this very virtue. We need hardly say anything as to the importance of agreeable and gentlemanly manners, for we all know how much they alone- contribute to a man's success in life, and how much the want of them de tracts l'rom all other, qualifications which he may possess. We hope the few remarks we have made will at least show the leading principles by which a man must be guidj 1, and up to which he must act, when once begun and persevered in, and success will as as suredly attend his efforts to grow rich by honest means, und not alone to grow rich, but to retain the possession of his wealth.

Of the nominations, the Philadelphia Nbrth American says : . General Geary is veteran soldier of two of the most glori ous wars of the Republic. In both cases he went to seek no holiday service. He served fully and ably, and in the last and greatest war he only he returned to the bbsom of his native Commonwealth when the great army of Sherman was disbanded alter its ever-memorable campaign through Gforgia and the Carolinas. . ' Such a hero is a fit target forthe sneersLmuch of tile party" that went" into the Presiden tial campaign of lSG-i with a platform pronouncing the war a failure. The peo ple en lorsed him iu 18GG, when he was elected their Governor, and we cannot be lieve that they will now. reverse that ver dict in 1SC9, alter he has honorably ful filled the responsible duties of his high office, but will re-elect him by a great ma jority. Judge Williams is no new or untried man. As a Judge of the court of Alle-'-hanv county, his record is one in the highest degree honorable to himself. . His character stands enviably hign-with the bench and bar of the State, and his thor oughly judicial cast of mind befits him fur the office to which he has been nominated. It is ;he same he now fills by appointment of the Governor, made upon the rcsigna- tion of Judge Strong, and v.'e have lte":d I no objection to his course and conuoct on that bench. As regards the import-.-.nce of the office, we need only remind our readers that of the Judges now on the bench of the Supremo Court, Messrs. Sharswoed and Thompson are Democrats in a strict partisan sense, and that if an other Democrat be now elected to fill Strong's vacancy, that party will again have entire control of the highest Court in the Commonwealth, three being a ma jority of that bench. Tie Coming Girl. She will vote, will be of some use in the world, will cook her own food, will earn her own living, and will not die an old maid. The coming girl will not wear the Grecian bend, dance the German, ignore all possibilities of knowing how to work ; will iU)t udcavo.rto break the hearts of unsophisticated young men ; will spell cor rectly, understand English before she af fects French; will preside with equal grace at the piano or washboard ; will spin more yarn for the house than for tiie street; will not despise her poor relations, or the hand of an honest worker ; wear a bonnet; speak good, plain, unlisping En glish ; will darn her own stockings ; will know how to bake doughnuts; and will not read the LcJyer oi'tcner than she does her Rible. The coming girl will walk five miles a d:iy, if need be, to keep her cheeks in a glow ; will mind her health, her physical development, and her mother ; will adopt a costume both sensible aud conducive to comfort and health ; will not ooufound hy p jcracy with politeness ; will not place ly ing to please above frankness; wii! have courage U cut an unwelcome acquaintance; will iiot think refinement is French du plicity ; that assumed hospitality, where hate dwells in the heart, ia better than condemnation ; will not confound grace of movement with silly affectation ; will not regard the end of her being to have a beau. Tlit coming girl will not look to Paris, but to reason, fi,r her fashions; will not aim to follow a foolish fashion because milliners and dressmakers decreed it ; will not torture her b:dy, shrivel her soul with puerilities, or ruiu it with wine or pleas ures. In short, the coming girl will seek to gloiif'y her 3Iaker, and to enjoy mental ly I!is works. Duty will be her aim, and life a living reality. Chui'vh Cirioii.

In passing along out side the cages where the animals were confined her dress swept the bars of one which contained a lion, the ferocious in stincts of which had been excited by tho smell of raw meat, just brought iu for feed ing time and lying at hand. The animal caught hold of the gown with one paw, and, us the woman turned suddenly rouud, snatched with the other the child out of her arms and dragged it within tho cae. The poor mother filled the air with her cries, and even struiruled to disenjjratro the iifunt from the jaws of the beast, but all in vain ; and when assistance arrived the child had already been half devoured. The horror of the husband, who came in soon after, was mingled with raire, and seizing a gun he shut the lion dead on the spot. Immediately after, orders for iu fctant departure were issued.

Sunstroke, like hydrophobia, is al ways a doubtful subject as to what it really is, and how caused. The forms or medical treatment iu the case of sunstroke' are as varied as the theories advanced of the character of tho malady.

At home some doctors consider it a poisoning of the blood, and follow a treatmcut ana'ogous to that ii snake poisoning.
