A WONDERFUL EtiVAPE.-011 Tuesday of last week, whilst the evening train of cars was coo•' ing in front the East, when a short distance be low the bridge over the creek, at this place, it ran over a cow, which threw three of the cars off the track, and as the engine was under tre mendous headway, dragged them a distance of some two hundred yards. The escape of the passengers from a most horrible death was teu• ly wonderful, and clearly indicates the miracu lous interposition of the Almighty arm. The only thing which prevented the cars from plun ging over the bridge into the creek, with their living freight, was the cordon extending along. Several huge stones were peeled off by the car• wheels, as neatly as if sawed. The care were dragged over the entire length of the bridge with but "a step" between the passengers and death, and were finally thrown over ariembank meat some sixteen or twenty feet high, with• out the loss of life or serious injury of a single individual 1 The cars were all more or less damaged, and the track for some one hundred yards was as completely torn up as if an earth quake had taken place. On Wednesday, the track was again clear, and ready for another "smash." We cannot, for the life of us, when we look at the awful position in which the pas sengers were placed, bee how any sane man can doubt the existence of an All• Wise, over ruling Providence, "who doeth all things well." MORE OF me .—Some six months ago, a family of some haltdozen manumitted slaves from Virginia, took up their abode in this place. In company with this family was a woman who had been freed by her master, but whose has band was still under tho lash of the overseer. She became dissatisfied with her condition here and determined on returning to her husband and slavery, having no hope of ever being able to purchase Isis freedom. Before returning, however, she was persuaded to make a trial, and accordingly she started out among our cit izens with a subscription paper, on her almost hopeless effin t. She succeeded so well here, however, that site visited other parts of this and Blair county, and the result was the sum required for the liberation of her slave husband —eight hundred dollars ! The money was sent, and some two weeks ago, her husbanil nr ' rived at this place, a free man, but not alone— ho brought with him another family, consisting of only fourteen, who had been freed by their master. We recommend that a portion of the "Liberian fund" be sent up this way, to colonize these "chattles," on the Lick Ridges. Now POSTMASTEIL—We can give Mr. Buch anan's administration credit fur doing one good Ibt, at least the removal of the late post of fice official at this place. "Old Buck" deserves t he thanks of this community fur this act "of kindness and merciful deliverance" from a long endured evil. We congratulate our fellow•oiti. zens on their happy riddance from one • of the most annoying nuisances .hich can be inflict ed upon a community—a busily managed post office or an incompetent or unfairpostmas ter. Mr. William Colon, the new appointee, outside of politics and political 'arrangeme nts' thereunto appertaining, is a good citizen, a clover fellow, and we have no doubt will make an attentive and obliging officer. At least, we know him to be honest and upright (with the forgoing qualification) in his "walk and conver sation," and cannot be an exchange for the worse. Ills appcintmeut gives genetal satis. faction. Oen troy, I..—We have some as well-fur. uished hotels and obliging landlords in our !tn. loge, as can be found. We have room to no tice a few of them.—The "Black Bear," by Col. Williams, is a well•regulatcd and well kept hotel, and the Col. is a prides of landlords.— The "Exchange," by Col. Johnson, is an admi• rabic house, and everything there is gotten op in the right style.—" Jackson's Hotel," by Ma jor Zeigler, is a first class hotel, and has been titled up in an elegant style by the Major:— The "Huntingdon House" by our old friend H. Cornprobst, is also a well•conducted hotel, and any one of the forgoing we can recommend to strangers, travelers, "and the rest of mank•n".' -• -04 .0 - - - TUE FAIR.—As it is now a fixed fact, and o "dead certainty," as Sam Weller says, that we ore to have another County Fair next fall, we would suggest to our fellow-citizens the idea of getting up one on a grand scale. Let our far mers pay attention to their grain and fruit, and send along the best. Let our enterprising me chanics "fix up" some "brag" job in their lino of business, and our fisir Indies be on hand with their ecntributions. Let every one—men, women, children and babies take an interest in the matter, and "put things through." eow killed below town on Tuesday, was the property of Sheriff Miller. On Wednes• day evening another one was killed above town, belonging to Mr. John White. On Thursday evening still another one was killed 'near Mill Creek. Whose fault is it 7 DEAn.—Mr. Wm. Norris, whom we noticed last week, as being likely to recover from the injuries he received by the falling of a log up on him, at a harn.raising in Woodcock valley, has since died. "CANDLE Cosr.."—We have received from ,cur handsome young friend, Col. T. D. Gill, of .Iliddlesburg, a specimen of the above named coal, taken from the mines at that place. It is so called because it is said to. ignite and blase liko a candle. RIV.—We have seldom heard tell of a jui• cicr season than the past spring and present summer. so far, have been. It has been a con- tinual and unceasing driz, driz, drizzle, or a perfect break down. STORM.—The storm of Saturday night done he ri ou a damage in many parts of the county. A woman was blown off the bridge at McColl e el Istown, into the creek, and was almost drown ed ore rescued. Sir Our Gas men are now busily engaged in laying down the pipes, and are progressit.g rapidly, BLAIR COI7NTY.—We find the following in the Standard.—HA young woman named Cruse residing in Frankstown, attempted sui- ! tide on Sunday evening last, by taking Laud anum. The fact being discovered, a physician was sent for and the proper remedies adminis tered just in time to save her life. Disppoint,- . went in love affair is said to have been the cause of the rash attempt," "On Saturday morning last the body of a new bckn male infant was discovered in the river immediately below the viaduct. The body was enclosed in clothes, with a string and brick attached, and, from its condition, bad evidently lain in the water for a couple of weeks. Coroner Funk was immediately noti fied of the fact, a jury summoned, and a ver dict rendered that the child came to its death by the hands of some person or persons un known. Suspicion is at a loss to fix the crime upon any one, and the probability is that its guilty author or authors will escape the pun ishment they so richly merit in this world; but there is a day of reckoning coming, when they will have the full measure of their deserts me ted out to them by an impartial and unsparing hand." Dar The shipments of coal from the Broad Top Mines, for the week ending Thursday, 11th of June, were 2369 tons. Total for season, 30,782.

They haVe elected every member of Congress. ge- in the General Appropriation Bill, which passed the Legislature, it is provided that the state tax this year shall be two and a half mills on the dollar, instead of three, as formerly. Governor Walker, of Kansas, receives a yearly salary, of $1500,, out of which he has to pay his private secretary and all other ex penses. The governorship of Kansas is evi dently no sinecure.

SisrGen. Walker has sturendered only tem porarily ; like the paddy on a certain critical occasion, he has only let go to spit on his hands.

Tax payers, get your purses ready for another pull, for you will have to "face the music." And it is a pleasant thing to knew that you are pay ing for a nuisance, kept up to enrich a few ar istocratic blackguards. Isn't it ? Couldn't Conte It.—Dr. Cheever, of New York, some time ago preached a sermon that was unpalatable to the admirers of Slavery.— Some of the Deacons of the church, who love the almighty dollar more than the Almighty himself, undertook to eject the doctor from the Church. The Congregation recently after a stormy debate, adopted a report of the spe c cial committee sustaiuing Dr. Cheesier. *IST OF 111ZINAISMIS. oLAssxrzomexose OP 2112111.- chants in Huntingdan County, by the Ap praiser of Merchantile Taxes, for the year commencing the Ist clay of May, 1857.

THE GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED by the public to procure more certain secu rity from fire for valuable papers, such as Bonds, Mortgages, Deeds, Notes and Books of Accounts, than the ordinary SAFES heretofore in use affor ded, induced the Patentees to devote a large por of their time for the last fourteen years, in ma king discoveries and improvements for this ob ject, the result of which is the unrivalled Herring's Patent World's Fair Premium Fire Proof Safes, Universally acknowledged as the CHAMPION NAPE OF THE WORLD.

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchi tie, Asthma, Lartyngittis and all diseases of tho throat and lungs, by medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital, London. The great point in the treatment of all human male dies is to get at the disease in the direct man ner, All medicines are estimated by their ac tion upon the organ requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which Inhalation is ba sed. If the stomach is diseased we take medicine directly into the stomach. lithe lungs are diseased, breathe or inhale medicated va pors directly into the lungs. Medicines ore the antidotes to disease and should be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the ap plication of this pnnciple 'to the treatment of the lungs, for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells and tubes which lie out of reach of every other means 'of administering medicines. The reason that Consumption, and other diseases of the lungs, hove heretofore re sisted all treatment has been because they had never been approached in a direct manner by medicine. They were intended to act upon the lungs and yet were applied to the stomach.— ' Their action was intended to•be local, and yet, they were so administered that they should not act constistutionally, expending immediate and principal action upon the unoliending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers within the lungs were un molested. Inhalation brings the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without the disadvantage of any violent action. Its appli cation is simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant or feeblest invalid. t doe s not derange the stomach, or interfere in the least de gree with the strength, comfort, or business of the patient. _ . . 7 00 7 00 7 00 7 00 7 00 7 00 7 00 Oructt Disuma Tassysp.—ln relation to the 'Mowing diseases, either when compli cated with lung affections existing alone, I also invite consultation.
