Young folks should not marry.

We have heard Of loving 'yo1ng uns'
courting by the telegraph and binding them
selves IN matrimony by the magnetic bands
of The lightning line. But a case Of another
kind turned up here last Saturday. 1t seems
that a swaIthy Elhiop in the neighborhood
Of F~oundryville had been wooing a lighter
tinted maiden, and she had been won by the
courageous Moor to consent to marriage.
But the parents of the maiden were opposed
and relentless. An elopement was accord.
ingly agreed upon and IN Saturday evening
our brave Othello came to our town-bear
ing his fair Desdemona as his prize-having
escaped all bars and bolts, and now eager
for a parson or esquire, TO tie the nuptial
knot. But the telegraph, it seems, had
grown invidious at this triumph o: the little
love god, and SO determined 10 raise a
breeze, a little like Eolus of old upon the
pious Eneas. Her parents, like the Juno Of
cong and story, found the prince of the tele.
graph with the ,hunderbolt ready for sale to
make a storm, and so sent a decree TO our
town forbidding parson OF squire TO marry
he maid for she was ''too young" The in
vidious notice outsped the space OF the low
ing twain, and when they reached towr: they
found their bans forbidden. So the tele.
graph has decided that "young folks should
not marry.

Tragical Atari

Another tragical affair has taken place in
Blair county. The particulars are given in
the Standard as follows -
A farmer named George Pecht, residing
between Altoona and Blair Furnace, has fol
some time been laboring under partial in
sanity, caused by religious monomania. Hi:
actions, however, never were so violent tina
any restraint was put on them, and he wa'
suffered 10 conduct his own business. On
Sabbath last, at about 8 O'Clock, he was in
the kitchen where his daughter, aged abour
ls years, was engaged in washing dishes,
when he seized an axe and struck her on
the forehead with the sharp edge, c~leaving
her head in such a manner that she died al.
most instantly. The noise brought Other
members of the family TO the kitchen, who
observed Pecht running from the house
Chase was made as soon as possible, but 10
no purpose, as he ran direct to the forebay
OF a saw mill, about 30 rods of, and fore,
irg himself under the gate, was drowned be.
fore he could be extricated.
Pecht always bore a good character, was
temperate man, and highly esteemed by
all who knew him.

NEWS BY

We receive regularly the public telegraph
&c despatche S which come to the Blooms.
burg Office; and we give the first set oil
these to day. By this means it will be OBJ.
served that we are able to give the public
news of what happens near the various tel.
egraph stations through the country, up to
the hour of our paper going to press.
The office here is quite a convenience to
our towns-people on many occasions, and it
will not be long until the rising generation
of progress will wonder how it was posi-.
BILE for mankind to live SO long, by receiving
the news only at the old snails gait speed.
The present rates of sending dispatches is
now much reduced, and they can be made
10 supercede the use of mail letters in a
great degree. They have this additional adj
vantage that the dispatches received at an
office do lot lay there to await being called
for, but are sent Immediately By the operator 10
the person named in the address. For this
purpose the address should be either to some
person whose residence is certain 10 be
A'S"h ~ oPoiotoi CioS W. tue care oil
some such person. In the city this diff.
Guilty is avoided by addressing to a particu.
lar street and number.
Under the present cheap rates a despatch
OF ten words (not including the address) can
be sent 10 Danville or Berwick for 10 cents
or 10 Philadelphia for 25 cents. From Phil.
adelphia TO Harrisburg such a despatch would
cost 20 cents. From Philadelphia 10 Wilkes.
barree 25 cents.
The line here extends 10 Haz!e,on, and
there connects with that of another Compa.
ny. For this reason, a despatch between
this place and any town further than Hazle-
ton will have TO be re written there and sent
on anew. Mr.. Carver VINO had been the
operator at the Bloomsbury office from its
opening to within a few weeks past is now
attending the Hazleton office. Mr.. Cham
berlin has now learned the art and mystery
Of playing wirh the lightning; and we are
pleased Il TO see that a number of our people
are appreciating the advantages of this mark
OF the progressive age, and making good use
of il.

Gen. Sam. Houston.

This distinguished and remarkable man
delivered a lecture to a highly respectable
and intelligent audience in the Hall OF the
House of Representatives, a, Harrisburg, on
Saturday evening last. We learn that the
visit Of the General, lecture, and all, was ra-
Their a mixed up affair-commencing in pol.
tiles, and threataning, at one time, 20 end in
religion.
He was invited, it appears, by sundry
Democrats, who may have had an idea oil
making q Presidential movement, and his
visit was eagerly seized upon by certain la,
dies of the Episcopal church as a means ..ol
helping their funds and promoting the crea'
ton of q parsonage. "Old Sam" a,peSrs to
have repudiated both arrangements, and we
have heard that the gentlemen who invited
him were not TO be found when he came,
and after much tribulation AID changing Of
place and terms, the lecture was finally de-
livered, as above stated, in the Hall Of the
House-admission free 10 all.

graph in his last letter:
"The most righteous vote which has mar.

THE CRY OF PmLApELpHIA.-It is often a
matter of inquiry and discussion how large
the city proper is. The distance from the
Delaware river 10 the Schuylkill is set down
at two miles, and from Vine street 10 Cedar
at one mile. These are the bounds of what
lie known as the incorporated city OF Phila'
delphia, though but a small part of the actu
al space lhickly covered with buildings. II
has been doubted whether it istwo full miles
between the two rivers, but actual measure.
ment shows that the distance is l2,448 feet,
two miles and almost q sixth over. The dis.
tarce from north TO south is 1911 feet, or 81
feet over q mile. The aggregate distance OF
sqnares.from Broad street TO the river Sci uyl.
kill is 53l7, and thence east TO the Delaware
$500, the width of the streets make Vi the
difference. The length of the squares run
ming east and west from Third street TO
Schuylkill SIKH, a q each 396 feet long
North and south the squares vary in size,
but they average Ala feet from one mair
street to another. This inforIa,ion will SET.
tie some mooied points, which have fire.
quentiy occasioned much dispute.-Publie

New Invention.

We have just beeu shown says the Eas-
ton Argus, a new and singularly ingenious
machine for sewing. 1t occupies not moro
than a cubit foot of space, and when opera
ted by the foot as the ordinary spinning
wheels are, il will sew an excellent seam, on
any kind of cloth, at the inconceivably ra-
pidity of about one yard a minute. The
stitches are taken with great regularity, and
the sewing is unusually firm and durable.
The machine is simple in its construction,
and can be operated by any person. A seam
may be taken at any distance flom the edge
of the cloth and in any direction, either
straight or circular, with as much ease as if
done by the hands. The machines are sold
by the patentee, Mr.. Wilson of the city of
New York, for SIS apiece, but the actual
expense of constructing one is no more
han ten dollars.
