THE COUNCIL Room ALMOST DESERTED.-
'" Attention Americans !" Under this caption,
an official call was made last week, request
ing " the members of the American party to
meet in the Council Room on Friday evening,
for the purpose of ratifying the nominations"
of the so-called National Convention of the
Know-Nothings.
Friday evening came, of course, but it ex
hibited a magnificent fizzle of the Thugs, ac
•cording to a well-authenticated account. For
be it known, they have not abandoned their
secret meetings, their impious oaths, and
their proscriptive, unconstitutional doctrines.
But their doings " will out !"
We say it was a complete fizzle I For, fif
teen minutes' notice at any hour of any day
would collect five times the number present
~(at the Council Room) to any meeting called
for .any other purpose.
Not more than a dozen or so of this' dodg
ing clan repaired to the Council Room to rat
ify the nomination of Millard Fillmore and
ANDREW JACKSON douelson for President
•aand Vice President of the United States; and
these, principally, were the old wire-workers
and dictators of the defunct Whig party.—
'Their countenances looked pale, and their
dimbs trembled, as they gazed around the
.alMost vacant hall, and thought themselves
the "faithful few among the faithless found."
It was agreed that the nominations be ratified,
.and it was done, Without disturbing the peace
•or repose of the next door neighbors. After
which, secret arrangements were made with
regard to the approaching Spring election,
when they disbanded. •
And thus have the Know-Nothing nomina
tions been ratified in old Huntingdon. From
all which we report, Knomnothing stock be
low par, with a downward tendency.
MUSICAL CONCERT' AND EXIIIRITION.—
Miss BRUNKER wilt give a musical concert at
the Court House on, Friday evening next.—
The object of this concert is to give an exhi
bition of the prr-gress of 'her pupils on . the
Piano; the relatives acid friends of whom, as
well as the lovers of music, and citizens gen
•erally., should attend. We bespeak for Miss
8. a large,audience. Admission 124 cents:
IMPROyEMENTS - .—We learn that the old
and well established firm of FISHER &
Mc
.MuRTRIE will commence, in a few days, the
'erection of a - large three-story brick Grist
`Mill at the west end of the borough, on the ,
Isite of the present old dilapidated stone mill.
iit will be the largest and best mill in this sec
ction of country, and well furnished with the
ilatest'imProvements in machinery, &c.
The West Huntingdon Improvement Conn
ipany have contracted with our enterprising
neighbor, JAMES SAXTON, Esq., for the erne=
tion of two large buildings in West Hunting
,don.
We will speak of these and other contem ,
plated improvements, more at length, at some
;future time.
'THE LADIES . FAIR.—The Ladies of the
IPresbyterian congregation of this borough
will hold a fair at the Town Hall during the
first and probably the second week of the
April-eoart: We are assured that every effort
isfbeirig ?andel() render it highly attractive,
amusing, and beneficial. The ladies,
.who
are always foremost in every enterprise of
Christian- charity and benevolence, should,.
and •we doubt: not, will be sustained by the
presence and the purses of the "sterner sex."
Every •conceivable article of ornarnent • and
will'bean 'hand for sale, '".cheap for
cash."
" Oh . : there l 4! a good .time a corning. thus—
Wait a little longer." . „
GRAPES.---THEO . ; H. CREMES., Esq., has our
- thanks for a quantity of grapes as fresh and
sweet as- when they were -taken. fronst the
vine. . They are quite a luxury at this season
of the year. We do not know how they have
been preserved, but any information on the
subject can be obtained from Mr. Cramer.
Now &roans .—We are to tare three or
four new Stores opened out in town in the
course of a few days. Notice will be given in
the columns of the Globe when they are ready
for customers.
A CARD.
' Ma. LEWlS:—Permit me, through. your col
umns, to correct a misstatement that seems to
have gone abroad, and which if i.ot corrected,
may have a. tendency to retard the progress of
the "Huntingdon Commercial School."
The statement represents me as going away
in the present or coining month to teach in an
other place. This idea, no doubt, has originated
from my having received a communication from
the Principal of the "Penna. Coniniercial Insti
tution," asking me to teach there. NoW to set
this matter right before the public, I will state
that, that invitation was declined when received,
and this Institution will not therefore be closed
as has been anticipated.
My intention has been and is, to build up a
permanent Institution, in which a very import
rant, but much neglected, part of the busi
ness men's information may be obtained at much
less cost than it can bm in large Cities, and thus
bring it I n ithin the reach of all.
T. H. POLLOCK
Huntingdon, Pa., March 7, 1856.
OUR NEIGHBORS.
Johnstown.—The . Echo says that the dam
age occasioned by the recent fire at the Cam
bria Iron Works has been repaired, and three
of the blast furnaces are in operation. The
greatest energy was manifested by all con
cerned in these works, to repair the loss in
the quickest time.
The Cambria Iron Company is ready to
furnish rail road iron of the best quality, and
in any quantity that may be desired.
OC7 - The Echo has hoisted the name of James
Buchanan for President—and throws a well
timed hint to several democratic editors who
are slightly previous' in agitating the ques
tion, who shall be our next gubernatorial can
didate 1 and says :
" We . regard all discussjon on this subject,
at this time, as premature. Let us first secure
Pennsylvania for the nominee of the Cincin
nati Convention, and also elect our State ticket
and a majority in both branches of the State
Legislature. It will then be time enough to
decide who the candidate for Governor shall
be."
Bellefonte.—The Democratic Watchman, of
Wednesday last, says :
"The branch of one of the Pittsburg banks"
located in Bellefonte, is in the hands of known
respectable and responsible business men,
while the Cashier, Mr. Murray, has an unlink
lied reputation for intelligence 'and integrity;
Thus fat the "branch" has not only been ap
preciated, but has proved a benefit to the peo
ple."
.Lewistown.—The Democrat gives a case of
somnambUlism which occurred there on Fri
day night
"John A. Cummins, clerk at the new Steam
Mill, while asleep, at the residence of his sis
ter, .Mrs. Thomas M'Kee, got out of - his bed,
and jumped out of the front window, alight
ing upon the porch. The shock awakened
him, and he soon aroused some one to let
him into the house. Except a sprained foot,
he received no injury.
la:7' At the Lutheran church in this place,
services continue to be held almost every day
and evening:' Large numbers haie flocked
around the altar, to send their prayers on
High, and seek salvation. We doubt not
large accessions to the church membership
will be the result.—lb.
Hollidaysburg.—Some graceless scamp who
had access to our news-table, pocketed last
week's Standard, but we learn from the other
papers that considerable excitement exists
there in consequence of the efforts that are
now- being made to dispose of the main line
of public improvements. A meeting was
held, resolutions passed, and speeches made
against the sale. James M. Bell, Esq.,
it appears, favored the sale,• and in conse
quence, was burnt in effigy ! Poor revenge,
we .would say.—The Register mentions
that the. protracted . meetings at Logan's Val
ley and Altoona Lutheran Churches, under
charge of the Rev. Mr. Baker, closed a couple
of weeks ago. In the former 70 made a pro
fession of religion, 40 of whom connected
with the Clanrch, and in-the latter 93 made a
profession, 78 of whom joined the church.-
-The History of the Juniata Valley, now
in process of publication, will be issued in a
few days. U. J. JONES, Esq., assistant editor
of the Standard, a writer of some celebrity, is
the author, and we doubt not the work will
be replete with interest. It will be illustra
ted by 12 or probably 14 engravings, from
original designs furnished by Dr.. Jeremy
Wilson. Among the illustrations will be—
Hart's Loq, or Watering Place.
Continental Mill at Barree.
Chimney Rocks, opposite Hollidaysburg.
Pulpit Rocks, Warrior Ridge. '
Scene below Patterson.
Scene below McVey town.
Mill Creek.
The Old Bridge near Petersburg.
Scene below Williamsburg.
The Eastern Reservoir.
Mouth of Cave in Sinking Valley.
Junction of the Big and Little Juniata.
And probabir'others. The book will contain
34 chapters embracing the early °settlement
of the Valley—the-French and Indian Wars
—and the predatory incursions of the savages
and their massacres' during the Revolution,
when the upper end of the Valley was the
Pennsylvania frontier.
This History, will, without a doubt, be the
most interesting to the residents of the Val
ley ever published, and .if there is a single
man who does not secure a copy, it will be
because he cares nothing• about transmitting
to posterity the trials and sufferings of our
early pioneers. •
Clearfield.—A. large meeting of the friends
of the Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad was
held at Clearfieid on the 20th nit. Pion. I.
-
P. Hoyt was chosen President, John Patchin
and Jas. B. Graham, Vice Presidents; and
D. W: Moore and S. B. Row, Secretaries.—
Hon.' Jas. T. Hale addressed the meeting,
and urged the people along the line to make
93p the amount yet wanting to secure the
.oharter. Before the meeting closed $BOOO
were subscribed, which, with that before rais
ed; is sufficient to obtain the charter. The
prospects for the making of this road are very
fair, and the probability is.that i. will be put
under contract during the coming summer;
—The Republican says :—We read an ac
count a few days ago, of a physician having
extracted an incredible number of needles
from the foot of a lady. which had been there
buried, for several years without causing any
pain—the lady not even being aware that
her foot was a veritable "needle case." '
A. somewhat similar circumstance recently
occurred with a young lady—daughter of
John Owens—within a few miles of this
place. For a year past, she had suffered
with a pain first in her left breast, then in
her side, and last in her left leg, which final
ly festered, and from which she, a few days
ago, extracted a clever sized needle.
"Put None but Americans on Guard to-
Night."
We deny that GEORGE WASHINGTON ever
issued such an order. As long as the asser
tion that he did, was confined to the Know
Nothing press, we suffered it to pass without
comment, trusting to the good sense of the
American people to detect and appreciate the
falsehood. But when men of character—
statesmen of reputation, who are known to
the whole country, such as Hon. Joint . T.
CRITTENDEN, undertake to endorse the asser
tion, by repeating it in a public speech, it is
time to meet and deny it. At the FILLMORE
and DONELSON ratification meeting, held in
the city of Washington, on the evening of the
29th ultimo, Mr. CRITTENDEN is represented
as saying—
"The whole philosophy of our principles
lay in one memorable order given by the
Father of his Country during the darkness of
the revolution—'Place none but Americans
on gaurd to-night.' "
Now, we profess to have read the history
of the revolutionary war, the life of WASH
INGTON2and many historical works embracing,
we presume, all the orders issued by General
WASHINGTON that were ever published, and
we cannot find such an order, as the one we
have quoted, on record. We presume, there
fore, that no such order was ever issued, and
we ask the Hon. JNO. I. CRITTENDEN to re
fer us to his authority for making.ibe asser
tion. It may, possibly, be-found in some of
LIPPARD'S writings; in fact, we believe we
have seen it there; bit no man of sense would
pretend to quote from them as historical au
thority. At all events, we deny that WASH
INGTON ever issued such an order, and we
call for the proof from those who assert that
he did.--Union & Patriot.
STILL THEY ComE.—Hon. Isaac E. Mester,
whig member of the last congress-from Lan
caster county, has formally united with the
Democratic party. Knownothingisio was too
much for him.
Jas. McCahon, Esq., Prosecuting Attor
ney of Jefferson county, at the late Demo
cratic meeting in Brookvile, formally re
nounced the dark lantern Party, and declared
his purpose to act with the Democracy here
after.
I HAVE NO TIME TO READ.—The idea about
the want of time is a mere phantom. Frank
lin found time in the midst of all his labors
to dive into the hidden recess of all his phil
osophy, and explore the untrodden path of
science. The great Frederick, with an em
pire at his direction, in the midst of war, on
the eve of battles which were to decide
the fate of his kingdom, found time to revel
in the charms of philosophy and intellectnal
pleasures. Bonaparte, with all Europe at
his disposal, with kings in his ante-chamber
begging for vacant throne with thousands of
men whose destinies were suspended by the
brittle, thread of his arbitrary pleasure, had
time to converse with books. Cmsar, when
he had curbed the spirits of the Roman peo
ple, and was thronged with visitors from the
remotest kingdoms, found time for intellectu
al conversation. Every man has time ;if he
is careful to improve it as well he as might,
he can reap a threefold reward. Let me
chanics make use of the hours at their dispo
sal, if they want to obtain a proper influence
in society. They can, if they please, hold
in theirs hands the destinies of our Republic;
they are numerous, respectable and powerful:
and they have only to be educated half as
well as other professions to make laws for
the nation.
