Ore Palt6t/TATTrr. —WO recommend to
uur fellow-citizens. the propriety of getting up
some substantial testimonial of their high air ;
preeietion of the laborious efforts in their be
halt; of their late Representative, Dr. John H.
Wintrode. We suggest, further, that said testi
monial consist of a patent leather medal, with
a median , sized hole therein, in which shall be
platted a piece of red tape. Said medal to he •
presented to said gentleman immediately. Or
if this be not approved by said constituents of
old Wintrode, then, we suggest a testimonial
of thirty (3 cent) pieces of silver. This would
be appropriate and we are led to believe more
acceptable. We offer this suggestion on the
ground that a faithful servant deserves a 'kind
.l! mention.' Aside from all jokes, we cannot,
for the life of us, see how a community could
he humbugged into working up such material
into Legislators. Had the county no better ?
To be care she has, and let her hereafter use
,t. The nomination of such men will weaken
uur strength—as the past proves—until Loco.
fucuiam shall triumph ; it must be stopped.—
Since Mr. Wintrode has now some leisure, he
van enlighten the people of the county on his
refusing to support the Opposition candidate
for the State Treasnryship. The reasons he
gave us, we did rot consider ourselves nuthori•
zed to publish. Events have since transpired,
which bring as again to the original question,

out the county for the reasons given us. We
now reiterate that those reasons are unsatiefac ,
tory from events which have since transpired.
DIJORACCFCL—Another drunken brawl oc
cured about 12 o'clock on last Saturday night,
in one of the drinking-houses of this place,
in which quite a number of our citizens parti
cipated. Dutch versus Segola ; law order and
private drinkers versus Germany and lumbago.
It appears we have a class of citizens who pay
their vows to Dachas at the "wee 'ma' hours o'
the night," behind' the door. On this occasion
they became riotous, and the consequence was
a free fight generally. "Whither are we tend
ing?" When the damning curse of inteinpe•
ranee id seizing upon the most promising of
our youth, paralyzing the faculties of our best
vitisens, converting young and old, rich and
poor, met, in high ttation3 and mon of low de
gree, in our very midst, int, beastly sots and
worthlees vagabonds, is it not time to 'Make off
our stupor and awake in the cause of temps

drinkers and old bruisers, and we will always
Lave them unless we act with decision. Better

THE Bona.—Last week we spoke of our bad
boy! ; we shall continue to giro some of the
. .
causes which lead to their ilhbehavour. A ve•
ry great cause is Map out at night. It is one
of the most ruinou., dangerous, mischievous'
things possible. Nothing so speedily and sure.
ly marks their downward course. We have a
gain and again alluded to these melancholy
facts, and most continue to do so while we
have strength to lift a pen. It is ruinous to
their morale in all instance , 'they acquire,
under the cover of night, au unhealthy state of
mind, bud, vulgar, and profane language,. oh.
scene practices, criminal sentiments, a !anions
and riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in the street
after nightfall, that the boys principally acquire
the education of the bad, and capacity for be.
...ming rowdy, dissolute, criminal men. Pa.
rents do you believe it ? Will you heed it ?
Will you keep your children home at night,
and see that your homes are made pleasant
sad profitable ? Or, take them with you to
the house of Clod, of prayer and praise. "Evil
communications corrupt good manners." "A
little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Ile•
ware of the serpent.
UAL—We are glad to learn that the gentle•
roan who has contracted for erecting the gas
works at this place, has come on, and is now
making preparations to begin the work. We
bad expected when the subject was first talked
of that it would end in smoke, but we have been
very agreeably disappointed. The unusual ra
pidity with which this project has advanced
from a mere subject of conversation to a real.
ity, is owing, mainly, to the energetic efforts of
Capt. Dorris, Dr. MeMarkle, Co'. Orbison, and
others of our progressive citizens who are en•
closvoring to crowd out the spirit of "old fogy.
which has so long been paralyzing our
faculties. wiluntingdon by Gas-Light," is not,
therefore, a "dim and indistinct vision," but
will shortly become a bright reality. Clear the
track, old fogys, for the car of progress.
RINGTID.—Our worthy County Treasurer,
Col. Frank Lane, has removed his office into
the brick building opposite the Court House,
formerly occupied by Col. Doyle, and latterly
used as 'pdegtsph Office. Col. Lane is an
obligiot and attentive officer, an excellent fi
minder, and a whole smiled fellow generally.—
Nothing could afford us greater pleasure than
to bare the Col. for our nominee this fall, as we
ore satisfied a mote fathful officer could not be
named; ono who could attend more faithfully
to the public interests.
STEM PREACHINO,--Tho pastors of the
Protestant Churches of this borough have made
arrangemeute for west:thing in the streets of
this place, commencing on next Sabbath, and
to continue during the Summer, twice a math.
The first sertuou will he preached by Rev. 0.
0. McClean, cootmenoing at four o'clock next
Sabbath. The place hill be Colon's Corner,
on Railroad street.
CHICILI.B.—Iietis disappear rely rapidly in
this neighborhood by a disease which they de•
nomicate the "grab disease." Many roosts
have been wads desolate in a single night. It
is all 4 to he carding.
rionrs.—The dog star rageth not, and yet
our 'maid' population will engage in fisticuffs.
Quite an animated little batch of law-suits has
resulted from a "rough and tumble" fight be.
tween a couple of "chattles in law," some two
weeks ago, in the African church of this place.
At the kit accounts, however, matters were
progressing towards a happy termination and a
peaceable settlement of hostilities.
HOW IS IT.—Would it nut be a good move
for our town "fathers" to erect at the expense
of the borough, a place of amusement for the
rising generation ? Soy for instance a hall-al-
ley, or something of that description We ob.
serve that the Court House has been converted
into a "sort of an alley" and the yard into a
