LOOKING UP.

We are glad to learn from the Evening
Bulletin, that things are looking up in
Philadelphia. In late number it says
" Stocks are increasing rapidly in price,
money is becoming cheap, and business is
improving. Among the encouraging signs
of the times, it is stated that the cotton
mills of Joseph Ripka, Esq, at Manayunk,
will 60 into operation to-day. Spencer's
mills, at Germantown, viii also resume
work in few days. The extensive cotton
mills near Hestonville, which have recent
ly changed proprietors, are now undergo
ing thorough repair, and will be in full op-
Grafton in few days. These mills will
give employment TO large number of
hands, and save many deserving families
from suffering through the winter Quite
q large number Of the Eastern mills are
resuming"

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

BGA series Of religious meetings have

Church at Yeagertown, under charge of
Rev. q. Baker of this place, which have
thus far resulted in awakening quite a
number to the Importance of being prepar-
ed for that hour when the spirit shall wing

For the Gazette
The Lutheran and Reformed Church at
Yeagertown, il is generally known, has been
standing ever since it's erection about i've
yearsl shut up and dark and dreary looking.
There was, to be sure an occasional sermon
preached in it, but no good effect seemed to
be produced on the minds of the people,
Fortunately for the church and people it is
about springing forth into light; and instead
of contention and strife all seem to vie with
each other in promoting the great cause OF
the salvation of souls. Sson alter Rev. Hen
ry Baker took charge al Lewistewn, he set
about making arrangements 10 prcach IN lhat
church, and in few weeks he had so far rec
onci!ed the conflicting elements as TO clear
the way for q protracted meeting. lie has
been preaching there for more than week,
and the Lord mas blest his labors in the con-
version of a number of heads of families and
others, middle aged and young. The house
is crowded night after night, and the best
feeling prevails. | have attended the meet
ings several nights and was much gratiied at
the good order and decorum observed by all

Christ On Sabbath evening the subject was

and his triumph over him, and thereby open.

Any description | could give would come far

time yet, and may the Great Head Of the
Church be with them and give them much
success in their endeavors to do good.

pa-T There were over 200 communicants
at the Methodist Church on Sunday last,
about double the number that partook of it
on previous occasion The religious
meetings in this church still continue to be
held every evening, being now in the third
month since their commencement, and from
appearances will probably be kept up the
remainder of the year.

DEcoRUM IN CHURCH.-There Is moth
ing that shows the degeneraey of the rising
generation-not even excepting the pro-
family, indecency and general vulgar con-
duct of mere children on the streets-than
the frivolous department that can be VIII
messed on almost any Sunday evening at
most of our churches. This was partieu-
larlv the case in the Methodist Church on
Sunday evening last, when the talking,
titterine. and low remarks OF a number OF
Young persons in the gallery were subjects
of painful observation to correspondent
who has called our attention TO the subject.
In this case he says it was not confined TO
the low and illiterate, to those who, black
guards by nature, seek no cover to hide
their conduct, but to young men who aspire
to the name of gentlemen, and girls who
would consider it an insult not to be classed
as ladies. Most of them consider them
selves members Of other churches, and
when there no doubt wear a sanctimonious
face for the time being, listen to the minis
ter's remarks with apparent devotion, and
under their influence perhaps temporarily
have that feeling which inculcates love and
good will to all yet, strange to say, these
same persons viii 90 into another church
where the AlLknowing and All-seeing God
is worshipped a shade different from their
own creed, where strong words of exhorta-
ton and prayer, derived from the same
fountain whence they themselves profess to
draw the words of life and salvation, fall
upon their ears as if in mockery, and in
stead of furnishing food for reflection, call
forth a ribald jest at mourner, an unchris-
tian remark, or an idle laugh. Young
men, young girls, this is not gentlemanly
nor ladylike-it is not even decent-and is
but part of Satan's teachings. If then
you cannot behave with propriety in any
other church than your own, stay away
from all others if you cannot, for an hour
and half or two hours, quietly keep a
seat in a house dedicated to religious ser
vices, no matter under what creed, do not
60 there, lest the tempter carry you step
further and rob you forever of the little
Christianity with which you are now tinc-
tured There is but one step from virtue
to vice-but one step from religion to inf
deity.

c5-The suggestion that Congress imposes
TN excise tax upon all bank notes of lower
denomination than twenty-five dollars, meets
with great favor, as being the most feasible
method Of effecting currency reform. In
looking over the late proceedings of the Ten
nessee Legislature, we find the following:
Resolved, That our representatives in Con-
gress be requested, and our Senators instruct
ed to use their best efforts to secure the pas
sage of a law which shall impose tax on all
bank notes of any State Of the United States
of denomination below $25. Lies over.
The Toledo l0hio) Commercial advises the
people of that country to get up and forward
petitions to Congress in its favor.
These schemes for reforming the currency,
are always popular-and nearly always aber-
tive. Whether the plan proposed be really
adapted to the wants Of the country, can only
be determined after being tested. The sick
man is ever credulous, and hence quackery is
bound to flourish NOT less in medicine, than
in currency.

ra.A rowing colored boy, who belongs
we believe to Juniata county, has been sleep
ing in carriages, &c. for some weeks, and
on Friday night came very near being fro
zen to death, having been discovered in the
morning in one of Illness vehicles IN the
first stage of inanition. If not already
done the Directors of the Poor ought to
have him sent TO his proper place OF resi-
dence.
pA- Some night prowler stole three
leaves from r. Fl. McClintic's cellar on
Sunday night last If he was really after
bread, we hope he will ask when he wants
another loaf, as there is certainly no neces-
sity at present for resorting to theft to pro-
cure it. Poor as we begin to feel ourself,
we'll help him or her to get loaf or two
sooner than see them steal.
WINTER WEATHER.-The snow and
rain squalls Of last week were generally
followed by cold winds until Friday last,
when spell of winter weather set in wor-
thy of later season-the river above the
bridge having been frozen over on Saturday
morning. With but little variation it has
continued cold and clustering, and from
appearances it may be set down as a fixed
fact that winter has commenced much ear
lier than had been anticipated.
In demand--Butter and eggs.
