THE BROAD TOP RA.ILRO4.D.—The cars
now run within four miles of Stonerstown, a
distance from this place of twenty miles .The
balance of the road is being rapidly comple
ted. The high bridge at. Stonerstown is pro

week. In the course or two or three months
we may expect an abundance of coal from
the Broad Top.
The gentlemen having the contract for
making the basin and building the weigh-lock
at this place are now here and will com
mence work in a few days.
a:7 Gov. Pollock, in his Proclamation for
a day of thanksgiving, says :—"The union
of the States—our free institutions—our civ
il and religious privileges—right of con
science and freedom of worship have been
continued and preserved."
Yes, but no thanks to the• Governor and
his Know Nothing followers, for these con
tinued blessings to all mankind. Know
Nothingism, the power that elevated Gov. P.
to his present position, but for the Democracy ;
would long since have deprived a portion of
our people of the enjoyment of many of the
privileges guaranteed to them by the consti_
tution of our country.
Thanks then unto the Most High, the
Democratic party and the Constitutional
Whigs, for the continued "union of the States
—our free institutions—our civil and reli-
gious privileges—right of conscience and
freedom of worship."

A. Small Business
Wm. Dorris, Jr., John Porter, James Clark,
James Henderson and John C. Watson, one
of the Committees appointed to award pre
miums at our County Fair, noticed in their
report some work executed at the "Globe"
job printing office as follows :
"A frame containing beautiful specimens
of printing was exhibited by Wm. Lewis! ,
The Journal editors appointed themselves
a committee ; with power to make such alter
ations in the report as they might think
proper. Fearing that the notice taken of
our printing by the proper committee
might induce some of -the readers of the
Journal to call at the "Globe" job office, they,
the Journal editors thought it would be to
their interest to strike out the word beautiful
and leave the impression upon the minds of
the readers of the Journal that the specimens
exhibited by us were such as are stamped at
that office—so the word beautiful wee omit
ted in the report as publisned in the Journal.
They shall have the first premium at our
rinvt fair for being able to do smaller things
than the meanest of men.
A LARGE BEvr.—Yesterday we received
front Mrs. Kimes, of this place, a beet a little
larger we think than any exhibited at the
Fair. A few of the same size would see us
through the winter, and if any of our friends
have more of the article on hand than they
can store away, we will undertake to find
room for them. Mrs. K. has our thanks for
the present.
LARGE POTATOES.—We have received from
Mr. JAMES HUTCHISON, of Henderson town
ship, a peck of very large and beautiful pota
toes. We awari them the first premium of
—thanks.

Old terks Leading the Way
The Democratic Standing Committee of
Berks county have issued an address urging i
the Democracy of that county thus early to
prepare, by efficient and thorough organiza
tion for the great struggle with fanaticism
and Abolitionism in 1856. Nor is the invita
tion solely to the Democracy. It solicits the
co-operation of all, who are opposed to the
thousand political heresies of the day, and all
who are desirous of maintaining the guaran
tees of the Constitution. Of the issues invol
ved in the contest the address slys:
"The coming contest will be one purely of
principles and measures: principles no less
important than the Constitution and its gua
rantees of religious toleration, and equal po
litical rights to every American citizen, no
matter where born; the faithful execution of
all laws passed in accordance with the pro
visions of that sacred instrument, to secure
the rights of all, without regard to section or
locality; the saereignty of the people in the
States and in the Territories, in administering
their own government, enacting their own
laws, framing and moulding their own insti
tutions in their own way, subject only to the
Constitution, without interference or interven
tion by Congress at any time; and the admis
sion of new States into the Union, without
inquiry by that body even into those institu
tions, beyond the simple requisites of that
Constitution. These are some of the princi
ples involved in this coming issue. They
are to be maintained by the National Demo
cracy of this Union, under its regular organi
zation; aided, however, by the patTiotic spirits
of the country, who are willing to co-operate
with that party for the country and its organ
ic law against Abolition Sectonalisrn and
Know-Nothingism. To be successful, Dem
ocrats of Berks, you must begin now; ORGAN
IZE at once. The canvas being one of princi
ple, is to be conducted on your part by free,
open discussion, before the people, leaving to
your enemies to arrange and ma:ma b c in the
chambers of darkness, at,micinight gatherings,
their mode of action. To insure the free I
discussion of the principles involved, the
State Central Committee will soon address
you, in common with your brethren of the
State, as we are informed, on this subject,
making arrangements for the complete pub
lic organization of the whole .date, and for
securing public speakers at meetings to be
held in every section of the State immediate
ly after the opening of the campaign.",
We are sincerely gratified at this move
ment. It recognizes at once the_importance
of organization, and the great fact that the
duty of the Democracy is tO struggle unceas
ingly—to lose no advantage by inactivity,
and to accept of no success but the most com
plete and unquestionable. The late result in
the Old Keystone is in every aspect full of
encouragement, but it points merely to the
work yet to be accomplished—the greater
triumph to be achieved, and which, by the
utter overthrow of all the elements of Abel
tionism, and Disunion, and Proscription, shall
give lasting peace and prosperity to our united
confederacy. This can only be done, as our
gallant friends in Old Berks propose, by early
action and the most thorough and complete
organization in every county and in every
election division.
NV ill the Democracy of "old HUntingdon"
be the last to organize for the Presidential
campaign ? We hope not, A perfect or
ganization can be effected in every election
district at an early day—and we call upon the
Standing Committee of the county to move
in the matter at once. The Abolition and
Know Nothing fanatics are already at work,
secretly and publicly.
THE "SOURNAL" OPPOSED TO ENCOURA
GING "OUR OWN MECHANICS.--111 the report
of the Committee upon Mechanical Imple
ments and Manufactures exhibited at our
County Fair / we find the following notice of
manufactures from the establishments of Mr.
Owen Boat of this place and of Mr. Alex.
Dearmit of Hollidaysburg :
To Owen Boat for best two horse carriage $2
To Owen Boat for best rockaway, 1
To Alexander Dearrnit, best trotting buggy, 1
We consider the rockaway of Mr. Boat
and covered buggy of Mr Dearmit as in com
petition with each other and award the pre
mium to Mr. Boat's rockaway for its work
manship, finish and adaptation to country
use.
Why the Journal editors took the liberty
of doing Mr. Boat a great injustice by stri
king out of the report the last paragraph is
for them to explain. The fact that they did
not notice Mr. Boats manufactures in
their editorial notice of carriages shows that
they were determined to do Mr. Boat's estab
lishment an injury if they could, by giving
Mr. Dearmit praise for carriages manufac
tured by Mr. Boat. Mr. Boat received the
first premium on his carriage and on his
rockaway—and Mr. Dearmit, for his trotting
buggy, it being the only one on exhibition.
Mr. Dearmit's covered and trotting . buggies
were beautiful and well made, but where
they came . in competition with those manu
factured by Mr. Boat, the Judges decided in
favor of Mr. B.—and the least that can be said
of the conduct of the editors of the Journal
in striking out the last paragraph given
above is that they took upon themselves priv
ileges granted only to the Committee.
A Colored Convention
A. Convention of colored gentlemen was
held in Philadelphia some few days since.
The big gun in the body was Fred Douglass,
the same colored gentleman who was named
at the late Republican Convention held at
Pittsburg as the man of that party to receive
their votes for the Presidency in 1856. the
colonization system was denounced quite
frantically by some of the members.
[C7 The Supreme Court of this State have
decided that GEO. W. Bowmax, of Bedford
county, is the legally commissioned Adja
tan t General, and not Txoaras J. POWER, who
was appointed some months since by Gov.
POLLOCK.
An Interesting Book.
It will be seen by the following which we
copy from the Hollidaysburg Democratic
Standard, that our friend Tones intends to
write a book.
NOTICE.-At the :urgent request of a num
ber of my friends, I shall write, during the
ensuing winter, health and life spared me, an
elaborate history of the early settlement of
the Juniata Valley, from facts gathered from
the few surviving pioneers, and such other
information as I can gain from manuscripts,
&c.
The early settlers are rapidly passing away,
and if we do not make an effort soon to se
cure from their own lips a recital of the trials,
troubles, and hair breadth escapes attending
their adventures among the savages, they
will merge into unreliable tradition.
• To aid mein the undertaking, I shall be
obliged to any person residing in the Valley
of the Juniata, who will give me information
of any kind that will be of advantage to me
in getting up the work.
The work will be issued this winter, or
early in the Spring, and will be published by
subscription. The size and price not deter
mined.

Ohio Election—Chase a Minority Gov
ernor---his Repudiation by the .People.
We have now received the official returns
from fifty-one counties on governor, which
give nearly two-thirds of the aggregate vote
of the State. The increase, thus far, on last
year's vote, which was 60,000 short of that
given at the•presidential election in 1852, is
only about 8,000. The probability is that
the whole vote for governor will be about
310,000. In these fifty-one counties official
ly heard from, Chase's majority over Medill is
7,814. Trimble has received 8.393 votes in
the same counties. Last year ; i3lickensder
fer beat Miller, democrat, for member of the
board of puplic works, in these fifty-one coun
ties, 56 ; 706, showing a democratic gain on
governor in the same of about 49,000. We
have reported returns, more or less accurate,
in addition to this official abstract, from all
the counties but three. The entire majority
for Chase over Medill will not vary much
from 16,000. Trimble will have at least
24,000 votes.
It is, thereforei a certainty that Chase is a
minority governor. He has been repudiated
by the people, although he obtains the office
under the the constitution. Chase made this
run in order to receive an endorsement from
the electors of Ohio that his course in the
Senate had met with their approbation. He
has failed to receive it; they have refused to
approve of his abolition notions. It is, there
fore, unjust to Ohio to call her an abolition
State. She must be taken out of that. cate
gory. Owing to a division among his oppo
nents, Chase will assume the gubernatorial
office, and not because he is the choice. The'
majority against the democracy last fall was
75,000, and yet, with this capital to go upon,
Chase fails of an election by the peopl. The
following estimate of the vote for governor in
the whole State, we think, will turn out to be
nearly accurate:
Chase,
Medill,
Trimble,

In the name and by -the authority of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. JAMES
POLLOCIZ, Gov. of said Commonwealth,
A PROCLAMATION.
FELLOW-CITIZENS :—A public recognition
of the existence of God, as the creator of all
things and the Giver of "every good and per
fect gift," with a humble acknowledgement
of our constant dependence upon the provi
dence of him, "who rules in the,army of
Heaven and among the children of men," is
alike the duty and the privileges of a free
and christian people.
"He has crowned the past year with his
goodness and caused our paths to drop with
fatness." He has blessed our country with
peace. The Union of the States—our free
institutions—our civil and religious
leges—right of conscience and freedom of
worship have been continued and preserved.
The great interests of education, morality
and religion have been encouraged and pro
moted—science and art advanced—industry
rewarded—and the moral and physical con
dition of the people improved;
The Goodness of God has signally blessed
our Commonwealth. War with its desola
tion—famine and pestilence with their hor
rors, have not been permitted to come near
us; and whilst the ravages of disease and
death have afflicted the citizens of other
States, we have enjoyed the blessings of
health and unusual prosperity. The seasons,
in their annual round, have come and gone,
—"seed time and harvest" have rot failed,
—smiling plenty cheers the husbandman;
and, surrounded by the abundant fruits of au
tumn, he rejoices in the rich rewards of his
toil. "The pastures are clothed with flocks—
the valleys also are covered over with corn
—they shout for joy—they also sing."
Acknowledging with grateful hearts these
manifold blessings of a beneficient Provi
dence we should "offer unto God thanksgiv
en. and pay our vows unto the Most High."
Under the solemn conviction of the impor
tance and propriety of this duty, and in con
formity with the wishes of many good citi
zens, 1, Limes PoLLocx, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
appoint Thursday, the 22d day of November
next as a day of GENERAL THANKSGIVING AND
PaArsE'throughout this State; and earnestly
implore the people that, setting aside all
wordly pursuits on that day, they unite in
offering thanks to Almighty God for His past
goodness and mercy; and beseech Him for a
continuance of His blessings.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
of the State, at Harrisburg, this 22d day of
October, in the year of our Lord, one thou

Common wealth the eightieth.

HORRIBLE DEATII.--On Friday, the 28th
ult., Louisa, aged about 11 years, daughter
of Mr. Solomon Ziegler, of Weisenberg town
ship, this county, died from the shocking ef
fects of hydrophobia. About twenty months
ago on her way to school, she was bitten by
a dog, supposed at the time to be mad. The
wound still bled very profusely on her arri
val at the school house, and the teacher re
quested her to return home. The parents,
fearful of the consequences, immediately pro
cured medical aid, and the ordinary proscrip
tion -was administered, and finding no par
ticular symptoms arise, the parents felt re
lieved thinking a cure had been effected.—
AP. was well, and nothing more thought
about it, little thinking that the poison could
so long slumber in the system and at last do
its fearful work. But in this they were sad
ly disappointed. Several days before her
death, she complained of dullness and pain
in her head and limbs, which with the bewil
dered appearance of the eyes ,
_ and dread of
the sight of water, were the first symptoms
of the horrible disease. This was followed
by a general prostration of system, accompa
nied by violent paroxysms, with a flow of
saliva, which ended in her death on the day
above named.--Lehigh, Reg.
UTAh—A private letter from Provo City,
Utah county, U. T., (fifty miles from Great
Salt Lake,) contains the following items of
intelligence:
"We live in sight of snow the year round.
We can, as it were, pick flowers with one
hand and gather snow with the other. It is
warm in the valleys, healthy, pleasant, and
fruitful, with seldom any rain, but we have
plenty of mountain streams to irrigate our
fields and gardens, so that the latter do not
suffer from a want of moisture. We have no
fever and ague. There is always a mountain
breeze which affords us a very pure atmos
phere.—Groceries are very high. Coffee
and sugar sell at fifty cents per pound, calico
is from 20 to 30 cents per yard, and other
things are in proportion. We have been
very busily engaged in making sugar, which
is manufactured from a sort of honey-dew, or
or sugar casting, which falls on the leaves of
the cotton-wood trees, and resembles the
frosting on cake, There have been several
thousand pounds of sugar made from this sub
stance within a few days, and it sells readily
at forty cents"per pound.'

PRETTY FAIR FOR A NEW STATE.-At a late
election in California, in Saguenay county,
'having 12, 000 inhabitants, 13,000 votes were
'polled. En one parish, containing but 400
inhabitants, the inspectors returned 4,000
votes !—Baltimore Sun.
This leads us into the secret of the Know
Nothing victory in that State. The dark
lantern party can only triumph by the pollu
tion of the ballot-box.
DYING FROM EmoTrox.--The father of
Tuckerman, the Bosten defaulter, was well
known as a genial man, with a smile and a
pleasant word to every one. Since the news
respecting his son's swindling transaction
was made known; all joyful expressions left
his face, and his stolid features, his eyes fixed
on vacancy, and his gastly, pallid color, all
showed that deep grief had taken possession
of him. Some ten days since, without any
marked cause, he died from shame—the vic
tim of his son. There may have been no
rupture of the cardiac organ, but the world
recognizes it as a broken heart. if the son is
unmoved by the thoughts of the orphans and
widows he has wronged, will he not be touch
ed by the parricidal results of his wilful
wrong-doing.
The death of Mr. Dellicker, a well known
merchant at Brooklyn, occurred on Monday,
under very peculiar circumstances. He was
in perfectly good health, and had just return
ed from the country where he had left his
wife, who was recovering from a recent ill
ness. He had but reached home when a tel
egraphic message was brought to him an
nouncing his wife's death. He sat down on
a chair on reading the sad news, said he felt
very ill, and requested that a physician should
be sent for, and died immediately. The in
fluence of the body over the mind is myste
rious and its effects are startling. The above
instances are not unusual, but none the less
noteworthy.--N. Y. Times.
A Man Forbidden to Burn the Dead
Body of his Wife.
The Milwaukie American says that city
was thrown into the greatest excitement on
the 19th inst., by an attempt of a man there
to burn the dead body of his wife.
The story is as follows Russian by
the name of Pfeil married a woman wtio
was a Brahmin in belief. He was possessed
of wealth, and both were persons of culture.
She sickened and died, and requested, accord
ing to the faith of her fathers, that her body
should be burned. Pfeil had collected six
teen cords of wood, arranged it properly, and
was about to perform the deed, when news
of the fact was circulated, creating intense
excitement.
Sheriff Conover proceeded at once to Pfell's
house, and forbade the act. The Russian as
serted his right and duty to be, to burn the
boby of his wife. "No law forbids," said he;
"my religion commands, I will do it." The
body was in its shroud, the torches prepared,
and all was ready -to place it on the funeral
pyre. "Let it be borne to its place," contin
ued the Russian; "there is no law against it
in Wisconsin." But the sheriff took posses
sion of the body, ordered a coffin, and made
preparation for its Christian burial. The
crowd grew and thronged round the house,
Alarmed or afraid to persist, Pfell gave his
consent to a Christian burial. "You may
order or have what ceremonies you please
over the body, "said Sheriff Conover. "Gen
tlemen," replied Pfell, "it makes no differ
ence with us, if we cannot go on in our otvn
way 1" Thereupowthe body was buried--
though the American intimates that the wo
man had been foully dealt with; and demands
the fullest investigation into the matter.--
What authority had the Sheriff to interfere,
and to :lecide that the man should bury and
not burn his wife we leave the lawyers to
settle.
AMERICANS IN THE RUSSIAN SERVICE.-
The Reading Gazette states that Dr. Charles
A. Deininger, who left that city on the 4th
of July, for the purpose of entering the Rus
sian service, as a surgeon, in the Crimea,
arrived safely out. Dr. L. W. Read, of Nor
ristown, writes, under date of Simpheropol,
September 9th, as follows :—"We had an ar
rival, a fews days ago, of four Americans,
two of whom, Drs. Deininger and Smith,
were from Pennsylvania." Dr. D. is stationed
at Coronaya, and, with his fellow Americans,
is treated with much consideration by the
Russian officers. There are now over one
hundred American surgions and officers in
the Russian service.
U Wheat is so abundant at the West as
to seriously embarrass the railroads of that
region to find adequate freight equipage for
its conveyance. On the Illinois Central Rail
road it has been found necessary to order three
hundred more cars. This road has already
transported a large amount of grain to Chica
go from the southern divisions of the line,
and it is estimated that one station, Jones
burg, will give the road this year no less than
390,000 bushels of wheat.
Tin VERY LAST 'DODGE.—During the late ag
riJultural fair at Havervill a place was wan•
ted for the trial of horses, and a man named
Lee offered the committee and spectators free
admission to his grounds for that purpose.
The crowd rushed, but, when the sport was

Kossuth writing hi the London Atlas,
says :
The condition of Europe is evidently such
as to render an almost universal revolution
inevitable. To ignore this is blindness--to
deny it, madness.

A DESIDERATUM
AT JACOB'S Amalgam Pens will be found on
ja. trial superior to gold or steel, collecting
none of that sediment aout. them which steel
pens invariably do. They will be preferred—
the acting of these pens resemble the quill
more than the gold pen. One trial will prove
the fact that they are the best pen yet introdu
ced. Their durability is about 8 or 10 times
as great as steel. Solo in Huntingdon and vicin
