whom he must of necessity, look for help in
| the hour of need.
But while those who thus complain, can so
easily see the mote that is in their brothers
| eve, they too often overlook the beam that is
| in their owns. It=isnot long since we heard
this complaint made by who held in his
hand at the time, Philadelphia paper. We
asked him if he was a subscriber to either of
his county papers, and he said he not
that he could get city paper for less money.
| He forgot that we can get the same articles be
manufactures in .sthe city, fer less money
| But this is not all. The same man has suit
| in our court, and Notwithstanding thero are
some dozen of resident lawyers living around
him, spending their money at home, where,it
will benefit their neighbors, he has employed,
| to conduct his suit, two attornies from Belle
fonte, and when he pays them their fees, they
will put the money in their pockets, and carry
| it ont of the County. And yet this man
poets the resident printers and lawyers to
| patronize him, because be lives among them
| and they ought to protect the shome Market
/ sIt is a poor rule that won't work both ways
| and if We expect to live We must also slet
/ live,' by patronizing each other. For exam
when the lawyer or printer, wants shoes,
| clothes, furniture, &C., he should buy them OF
| the shoemakers, talors. and cabinet makers at
home, and not send abroad for them. And
| just so, when the shoemaker, tailor, or cabi-
net maker, want counsel or want newspaper,
they should obtain them at home without GO
ing to Bellefonte or Philadelphia Ii this rule
was more generally adopted and observed, it
would be productive of vast amount OF pro-
fit to every member Of our community. BY
supporting each other will advance both
our own good and the prosperity Of all our
fellow citizens. i raa--ssasa
WORD ABOUT GROWING Having waited
patiently until our Locofoco friends, with their
Roman Catholic cohorts, have got their scrow'
out we should now just like to know what
| they've been growing about? Is it because in
this County their majority has been reduced,
in two years, from seren hundred TO three hun
drei /? Or is it because we have elected an
American Senator in this District, which was
! never before known to falter for the Democra-
cy? Or do they find still greater cause for re-
ioicing over the result in the State which
clearly demonstrates that the Locofoco Adj
| ministrstion party is in hopeless minority,
and at the mercy of an opposition which wants
only wnity of action, to be successful
We are certainly at a loss to discover what
| reason our enemies have to rejoice over the
result of an election that exhibits the follow
| ing state of facts First, that their candidate
| is in the minority some three housana votes

thousand, as many votes polled, at this election
as there was at that time. Thus nearly sirty

of whom, it is reasonable to presume, the larg-
est portion were opposed to the Administra-

THE NEws.-The following is the latest
news perrsCAfrica'': The London Daily News
says: ssWe believe there is no doubt that Cen
Simpson has resigned his command in the
Crimea, and has recommended General Eyre
as his successor. The Government, however
has declined to accept General Simpson'sres-
ignation. The Duke and Duchess of Brabant
arrived at Paris at four O'Clock, and we're re-
ceived with great ceremony. Fridays "con-
stitutioual,' - speaking probably on good au-
thority, says, tha. according to letter from
Kamiesch, dated September 9Th, it was ex-
pected that in two days time the floating bat
teries, each carrying 36 guns, would open :,
fire against the North side of the harbor.
The London Daily News in its city article,
says The most serious change exhibited in
the Bank of England returns, is the decrease
of no less than f659 647 in the coin and bull
lion, and of f778 517 in the reverse. The ad-
vance of the Allies on Perekop caused rise
of one -quarter per cent. in Consols, making
the tota advance of the day no less Than sew
en- eghths per cent compared with prices quo
ted on Thursday, prior to the decision of the
Bank Board being known. The latest quota
tions of this (Friday) afternoon, show rise of
one and half per cent. a favorable feature
upon which stress is laid is the apparent ces-
sation Of the drain of gold. Diminished anx-
lety was also expressed as regards the results
to be exhibited in the evenings Bank returns |
at the same time it would appear that real ]
relief would be best derived from immediate |
supplies from Australia. Such arrivals would
be peculiarly opportune at the present mo-
ment, as an excellent test would be afforded /
