LOCAL & PERSONAL
Lecture on Kansas
By invitation of a number of our citizens,
MAXWELL Grtzzri, Esq., will lecture in the
Court House in Huntingdon on Monday even.
log next, 26th inst.
Mitch has been said and written of Kansas
that has been vague and contradictory—it
has been represented by some as "a land flow
ing with milk and honey," by others "a bleak
and barren desert"—but those wishing to
dear the truth in regard to that beautiful ter
fitory—which is, or may yet be the home - of
many of their friends and relatives, and thus
interested in it, will be amply satisfied and
repaid by turning out to hear the lecture of
Mr. GREENE, who, being art educated and
talented young man, and having traversed the
whole extent of the territory and made him
self well acquainted with its soil, scenery,
climate, and .productions, is well qualified
to give them "a pleasing and interesting"
account of it.
We append the following brief notice from
the Hollidaysburg Register :
(:'MAX. GREENE, Esq. lectured in . the
Court House in this place on Friday evening
last toe very respectable audience. His sub
ject was "Kansas;" and in a very pleasing
and interesting way he discoursed of its soil,
scenery, climate, productions, &c. for some
two hours, relating, as he passed along, some
thrilling incidents in western life. His lec
ture in matter and style was good, and his
elocution excellent.
Pie Nrc.—The first male school under the
charge of Mr. S. S. SAUL, and the first female
school under the charge of Miss C. T. BENE
DICT, had a pleasant pie nic on Weanesday
last. They passed our office en route to their
chosen grounds in the woods, and we could
not refrain from remarking their neat, clean
and gay appearance—their orderly prome
nade, and above all, the happy looks which
beamed from their youthful but intelligent
countenances. Both schools were under the
immediate superintendence of their accom
plished teachers. The day was exceedingly
fine and the pie nic came off to the Oelight
and satisfaction of teachers and scholars.—
May they all live to enjoy many such happy
days I
BEAUTIFUL-Our town. The many and
varied improvements - which have been made
and are now progressing, are bringing up the
"ancient borough," iti business and enter
prize; to the mark reached by more modern
towns, with indications that it will go ahead.
But•the silver, sugar maple, and other shade
and ornamental trees, which line the streets
and yards in many portions of. the town give
it a truly beautiful appearance; second to
none in the Valley of the Juniata. There
are several locations however that do not look
so well for the want of them, and we wonder
that the property holders do not procure them.
Remember, " a thing of beauty is a joy for
ever," and it only needs a little of the spirit
of enterprize, a little courage, and a little
cash, to procure from Messrs. CurnrEn. &
TAYLOR enough " joy" of that kind to last a
whole life time. •
JONES' JUNIA.TA. VALLEY.-ThIS highly in
teresting historical work meets with a rapid
sale wherever it is introduced. It should be
well patronized in the region of the Juniata
by the descendants of those whose patriotic
deeds it records and whose' history it illus
trates in language at once beautiful and true.
The book is receiving the highest praise from
the press in all directions. Let the work be
well patronized and our " Home Author" en
couraged.
It can be obtained of Mr. W.M. COLON, in
Huntingdon, or of Mr. JOHN McCum.oucfr,
travelling Agent for the sale of the work.—
Mr.. McCulloUgh will call at the principal
towns in Huntingdon county during this and
next week. Price $2.00.
A SOUND SERNON.-A sound sermon was
preached in the Baptist Church in this place
on Sunday a week, by the Pastor, Rev. Mr.
STILL. The great principle of " equality,"
or democracy, as taught by the Bible, was
beautifully and logically delineated. The
self-righteous and presumptions were also
measured by the " Gospel rule ;" and altho'
Know-Nothingism was not named, the ap
plication of the christian principles enuncia
ted, to its doctrines and practices, was, in the
opinion of more than one, absolutely scorch
ing. It was an instance in which the,
prOved "sharper than any two-edged
:Such sermons are truly refreshing and encoii':.

fectual in 11 banishing bigotry back to its na

- CARRIAGE AND WAGON MANUFACTORY.-
'The 'Carriage and Wagon manufactory of
-cowEN BOAT, deserves to be liberally patroni

-the kind out of the city. He is a first rate
mechanic and an - examination of his carriages,
buggys and rockaways—several of which
are now fini§tied and ready' for sale—will
.convince you that they are as handsome, as
..neat, •and more' durable than those brought
from the . ..city. And he can make you a sub
stantial wagon, -of any size required, and re
pair your ol.d.ones, at short notice.and on ac
commodating terms. In patronizing this es
tablishment you will be "encouraging home
industry," and will also stand a very fair
chance of getting the worth of your money!!

was lately destroyed by the storm, to one Mr.
Lamp, of Porter township for $2, 944.

Anecdote of Jackson.
The Western Christian Advocate records
the following interesting anecdote of Jackson.
The scene of it was in the Tennessee Annual
Conference, held at Nashville, and to which
he had been invited by a vote of the brethren,
that they might have the pleasure of an in
troduction to him:
" The committee was appointed, and the
General fixed the time for nine o'clock on
Monday morning. The conference room be
ing too small to accommodate the hundreds
who wished to witness the introduction, one
of the churches was substituted, and an hour
before the time filled to overflowing. Front
seats were reserved for the members of the
conference, which was called to order by the
bishop, seated in a large chair in the altar,
just before the pulpit. After prayers, the
committee retired ; and a minute afterwards
entered, conducting the man whom all de
lighted to honor. They led him to the bish
op's chair, which was made vacant for him,
the bishop meanwhile occupying another
place within the altar.
"The 'secretary was directed to call the
names of the members of the conference,
which he - did in alphabetical order, each com
ing forward and receiving from the bishop a
personal introduction to the ex-President, and
immediately retired to give place to the next.
The ceremony had nearly been completed
when the secretary read the name of Rev.
James T. An elderly gentleman with a
weather beaten face, clad in a suit of jeans,
arose and came ' forward. Fe* seemed to
know him. He had always been on a circuit,
on the frontier ; and though always at confer
ence, he never troubled it with lona , speeches,
but kept his seat, and said but little—that lit
tle, however, was always to the purpose. Mr.
T. came forward, and was introduced to Gem
Jackson. He turned his face .towards the
General, who said 'lt seems to me that we
have met before.' The preacher, apparently
embarrassed, said, ' I was with you through
the Creek campaign —one of your body
guard at the battle of the Horse Shoe—and
fought under your command at New Orleans.'
The general arose slowly from his seat, and
throwing his long, withered, bony arms
around the preacher's neck, exclaimed, 'We'll
soon meet where there's no war—where the
smoke of battle never rolls up its sulpherous
incense •
Never before, or since have I seen so many
tears shed as then flowed forth from the eyes
of that vast assembly. Every eye was moist
with weeping.
Eleven years have passed away since that
day. The old hero has been more than ten
in his silent and narrow home. The voice
that cheered the drooping fight, and thunder
ed in the rear of routed armies, is silent for
ever. The old preacher, too, has fought his
last battle, laid his arnica by, and done home
to his eternal rest."
I.lThe following incident is said to have
occured at New Orleans during the invasion
of that quarter by the British. After the bat
tle of the 23d Dec.„ 1814, in which both
armies received nearly the same injury, a
subaltern British officer was sent over to the
American lines with a flag of truce. Being
detained a little he began to converse with a
corporal in our service respecting the probable
issue of events there. He said "it was folly
for the Americans to resist any longer as they
must eventually be beaten—that the troops
opposed to them were the flower of the Brit
ish army, who had repeatedly vanquished
the best veterans on the Continent of Europe,
and were commanded by Lord Packenham,
Lord Picton, Lord Cochran, Lord Kean and
many more of the ablest generals in Europe."
To this, the Corporal replied indignantly :
"On our side we have the Lord God Al
mighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, the hero, An
drew Jackson, and be d _d if WO
don't ,whip you."

I ARRIVAL OF TEEE GEORGE LAW.
$1,700,000 IN SPECIE.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE PANA-
MA RAILROAD
A NUMBER KILLED AND WOUNDED
Damage to a Philadelphia Ship.
THE OREGON INDIAN WAR.
NEW Y'3lol, May 16.—The George Law ar
rived at the dock at Ho'clock, with Califor
nia dates to the 21st ult. She sailed from
Aspinwall on the 7th inst ;
She has on board $1,700,000 in specie.
A dreadful accident occurred on the Pana
ma Railroad to the train carrying the George
Law's mails and passengers. The entire
train was thrown from the track and com
pletely wrecked.
A large number were killed and wounded;
but a correct list had not been ascertained
when the steamer sailed from Aspinwall.

000 000 in treasure, $l, 670,000 of which

From the Isthmus
The Isthmus papers are filled with official
documents concerning the Panama riot, but
no new facts have been elicited, nor any ad
ditional names of the killed and wounded
furnished.
The citizens of Panama had formed a guard
for the protection of property, and the autho
rities had placed a force at the disposal of the
Railroad Company, so that no further vio
lence was anticipated.
The correspondence between the Governor
of Panama and Commander Bailey, of the
U. S. sloop-of-war St. Mary's is published in
full. The closing note of the latter is excee
dingly sharp. He tells the Governor that his
answer was not satisfactory, and afforded no
assurance of the safety of transit passengers
for the future, and that until he hears from
his own Government in the matter, he will
take all the means in his power to avert fur
ther danger.
The accident on the Panama Railroad oc
curred on the Obispo bridge, 15 miles from
Panama. The train that was wrecked, con
sisted of nine card, containing 900 passen
crers.
The passengers were principally those
landed at Aspinwall by the George Law, and
mostly those in the steerage.
Owing to-theaccident the passage through
could not be effected, and the passengers
were sent back to Aspinwall. Over fifty
wounded had arrived, two of whom died af
ter reaching AspinWall. The next morning
there was a further arrival of the wounded
and uninjured.
At the latest advices brought by the George
Law, the wreck had not been wholy cleared
from-the road, but thirty bodies had been re
covered. Very few ladies or children were
injured. Among the wounded and killed
were a number of brakemen employed ou
the road.
The only name given is that of Mr Dal
ponse, a clerk at Aspinwall, who was killed.
There had been heavy rains throughout the
State during the past fortnight, which had
given mining operations a new start.
The grain crops promise a most abundant
harvest.
The Governor had signed the bill consoli
dating the city and county of San Francisco.
The Democrats had carried the municipal
ticket at the recent election in Sacramento.
The Republicans attempted to hold a mass
meeting at the same place, but were driven
from the ground with violence.
A powder vessel at Sacramento,.was sunk
in the river on election day. LOFS $7O 000
