THE MEETING ON THE asTH.

Our readers we hope throughout the
county will bear in mind that Judge Will
mot will be here on Friday afternoon of
next week, 18th instant, when all who de-
sire to hear an exposition of his views,
made in plain and simple language, can do
SO. As the American Republican nominee,
and as the representative of a great prin-
ciple coeval with our independence, he is
the only candidate that can succeed in de-
feating the so-called democratic nominee
truth so transparent that he who runs
may read. Ii is in this light we support
him-a support we would cheerfully accord
to Isaac Hazlehurst, were he the represen-
tative of the 100000 Union voters of last
year, and Wilmot the representative of
$4,000 only. No truer remark was ever
made than that uttered by the Buckeye
Blacksmith on Friday evening, when he
stated that the Packer men were holding
but few or no meetings, because they knew
there was no need for such things as long
as they could encourage the Hazlehurst
men to hold distinct meetings and refuse to
traternize with Wilmot, and because this
dssensIon was precisely what the democ-
raey built its hopes of success upon
Ihis no sensible man can doubt, and ought
to be sufficient to open the eyes of the
most blinded vision as to the true policy
to be pursued

The barkeeper at the Lewistown
Hotel met with pretty severe accident to
his hand last week in attempting to put
down a window, by which he lost one fin
ger and severely hurt his hand otherwise.
1t appears that some obstruction had got
into the frame work, and this suddenly
giving way, the window came down with
great force, striking his hand with one of
the lights, which resulted as above.

anything like fairness at the hands of the

in overhauling detached portions Of Mr.
Purcelrs votes last winter in the Leo;sla
ture, and lays great stress on his voting
against certain attempts to defeat the bill
for the sale Of the main line by mutilating
some Of its provisions. We suspect, if the
truth were known, Mr. p. committed far
greater sin in the eyes of the Democrat,
than any of those enumerated, by voting
against giving the Sunbury and Erie Rail
road 100000.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

B9@John w Bear, the Buckeye Black
smith, paid our town a visit on Friday
evening last, and made an effective speech
to a large audience in front of the Court
House. The Buckeye is an American Re-
publican, and goes it strong for Wilmot,
whom he considers quite as good an Amer
lean as Hazlehurst or any other man, be-
cause the former advocates reforms that
may be carried out, while the extreme
views of the latter never can be. We are
sorry, for the credit of our town, to say
that Mr.. Bear was most shamefully inter-
rupted during his speech by two or three
persons, who may have perfect right of
disgracing themselves as much as they
please, but have no right to disgrace COM
munity by such conduct, and this they will
learn to their cost if it is again attempted
FIRE.-A one story log dwelling in Blk
ler's Gap, for some years occupied by Hen
ry Palmer, caught fire ON Thursday morn
ing last, about 5 o'clock, and burnt SO rap
idly that the occupants lost the greater
portion of their furniture and goods, inclu-
ding three beds. The fire it is supposed
originated from the chimney, as it COM
menced burning at the roof While to
many such loss would be unimportant, to
Mr.. and Mrs. p, with family of FIVE or
six small children, it is severe blow, and
affords a fitting opportunity to the well-dis-
posed TO do unto others as they would like
to be done by. Mrs. P. is well known in
town as an industrious and hard working
woman, and deserves all the kindness that
may be bestowed upon her. They have
removed to the house at Reeds saw mill
on Jacks creek, where articles of clothing,
bedding, &c. will no doubt be gratefully
received, or if left at this Office we will see
them delivered.

RoBBERY.-On Monday, man named
Joseph Gates was brought before C. Hoov-
er, Esq, by Constable Wasson, charged
with the larceny of the key of an iron safe
and some books belonging to Judge Ritz.
Ona hearing, he was committed to Jail for
further examination. There was also found
upon his person pair of new shoes, which
have since been identified by c. @. Stan
barger as purloined from his store. The
defendant appears to be insane, and ru-
NOR says that he escaped lately from the
Insane Asylum at Harrisburg, where he
had been sent by the authorities of Blair
county. If such be the case, the County
Commissioners of that county should attend
to having him returned

table eighty-six feet long, arched over
with foliage, tastefully decorated with flow
ers, fruits and garlands, and laden with the
best the lady friends of the Institution
could possibly spread before their guests.
Judge Hale then made an interesting ad-
dress on the benefits to be derived from
the institution. Hewas followed by Judge
Watts, who proposed to be one of ten, to

{ Gen. James Irwin said he would give $1,000
Several counties were then pledged in sue
cession for the same amount. Mr. Harsh

not in a position to pledge that county to
any set amount, but would do the best they
could. The meeting appeared to have

gratifed with their visit

PETTY THIEvING.-There is more of
this degenerating practicable prelude to
greater thefts-going on at this time in
this. town and neighborhood than we have
ever known, no regard whatever being had
to persons OF. their station in life Among
the most fragrant cases that have recently
come to our knowledge are wholesale
robbery of the peach orchard of George
Aurand ON the ridge, in which an entire
row or two of trees were entirely stripped
by some eight or ten persons IN one night,
and the robbery of the contents of Judge
Moore's spring house on his farm across
the ridge, where almost every portable ar
ticle was carried off The thefts of corn
from the fields, men, women and children
carrying it away by the basket and bag
full-of peaches, plums, pears, &c. from
gardens-of wood, coal, and in truth al
most any and everything that hands can
be laid on, whether on the streets, in dwell
lings, cellars and outhouses, are without
parallel, and betray recklessness of moral
conduct that speaks badly for the future.
If parents will steal themselves, and teach
their children to steal either by encour-
agement or example in preference to enga-
ging in labor, what hope can they have of
their ever becoming honest or useful citi-
zens Nay, the lesson may even react on
themselves by raising up band of scape
o1sces who will neither honor father nor
mother and perhaps bring down their gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave. Think of
these things, ye night prow.ers, before it is
too late.
