Stick to your Home

"A correspondent of the Potter (Pa.) JOUR
nal wiring from Wisconsin, gives the follow
ing good advice to farmers and mechanics.
We commend it to their earnest consldera-
ton
If YOU have a comfortable home
a place that you can call your own
where you can, by honest industry and
economy earn enough to support your
family, and keep them from want
don't get the western fever" and sell
out" but stick to that home as you
would to a long tried friend. 1t is
true, that hundreds are selling out
and coming West but do they 6~a
peace and plenty-a paradise where
they can rest from all their labors,
and live on the fat Of the land p No,
sir. But with disappointment do they
see that they have been misinformed !;
that instead of peace and plenty, they
have not even the necessaries of life.
l do not pretend to say that this is
the case with every one, but ii is a
general thing. People who come
West with their families are dissatis-
fed with the country. Then stay on
your farms, (Which you have laborcd
long and hard to secure,) and let not
the fictitious tales of the West so ex-
cite your imaginations as to render
you unfit to enjoy the blessings that
might otherwise be derived from your
pleasant little home. You must re-
member that it requires labor, perse-
verance. and more capital, to COM
mence business with, here, than it does
in the Eastern States"

AGED TRIPLErs.-Fowler e. Wells
chronological Journal for September,
gives the portraits, with short bio
graphical and chronological sketch
Of the character of three sisters, named
Mrs. Sybil Luddington, Mrs. Sarah
Bushnell, and Mrs. Sarah Grennel.
They were triplets, born March 26th,
1883, in Goshen, Litchfeld county,
Connecticut, and are consequently
now over 10 years of age. In July
last they met in Honesdale, Pa, after
separation of several years.
A correspondent of the Journal at
Honcsdale, Pa, says that their per-
sonal resemblance is very striking.
Mrs. Grennel and Mrs. Bushnell re-
semble each other so much that even
Mrs. Luddington has mistaken one
for the other. They now reside in
Susquehanna and Wayne counties in
comfortable circumstances, healthy
and Industrious, never idle, and go
about their daily avocations Of house
hold work "spry as crickets," and all
bid fair for many more years Of use

THE UNION SAFE.-Kein the Hots2ur
of South Carolina, seems to have come to
think better Of the Union since GROW
knocked him down in Congress, last win
ter. A year ago, be advised secession in
q recent letter to his constituents, be
writes:
"As for himself, so long as he was in
the Union, be was for discharging every
obligation that devolved upon the State
or the citizens of the State. Twelve
months ago, be advised adversely /; but
now he would say. sustain Mr.. Buchanan 5
Administration He went to Washington,
at the beginning of the last session, re-
solved TO oppose the Administration ; but
when he got there he found NJ. Buchan-
an upon the Puform of the South. Ii
was then he determined to sustain the Pres.
ident, cordially and uDgrudgiDgly."
An ELEcrIoNEERING JUDGE.-The
Lecomp,on candidate for the Supreme
Court; W. A. Porter, is now on an elec-
,ioneering tour tho olgh the State. We
heard of him last week at Hollidaysburg,
and on Monday be was at Erie. 1t was
held highly undemocratic and subversive
of all judicial dignity for Mr.. Porter to
write Letter for the press defining bis
views on the various topics of the day,
but it is all right for him We presume to
slip quietly through the State giving pri.
uate and confidential assurances that be is
call right on the goose" Such is latter
day democratic consistency

THE POTOMAC RAIL ROAD PROJECT.

We are glad to see that another movement is
being made in behalf of this project. It will be
seen by reference to our advertising columns
that cal, signed by several of the Commission
|ers named in the charter of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company, is made for gen
eral meeting of all the Commissioners, and Of
1others interested in the movement, at UPPER
MARLBORO, on the Goth instant. The follow
| ing remarks from the Planters AdrocGte, we
commend to the attention of our subscribers:
Our readers will remember that the Company
was chartered some four or five years since, by
the Legislature, for the purpose of building a
road to connect Baltimore City and Aqua Creek,
traversing portions of Anne Arundel, SPrince
Georges and Charles Counties. They will also
remember that it's advantages were thoroughly
discussed at the time, and that considerable at
tention was attracted to the merits of the enter
prise. The fact that its construction would fur
nish the only link wanted to complete the di-
rect connection between the North and South,
and, by lessening delays and increasing direct
ness of the route, would give decided advan-
tage, in the gaining Of time, both for the trans
mission ofiproduce and for travel, seemed to re-
commend it as project in the highest degree
|important7to the country. Its incidental adj
vantages,, ID opening up new facilities to mark
let a large quantity of produce, both in Mary
land and Virginia, and in increasing the coun-
try trade, also made it a matter of interest to
the localities concerned. "A survey of the route
was made by Major Trimble,. and it was found
to be eminently practicable $50 great were the
natural advantages of the route, indeed, that it
was estimated the road could be built at the
minimum cost of construction.
Much effort now having been made to raise
the stock, and peculiar circumstances having
prevented the Virginia Companies from extend
| ing the aid they proposed, the enterprise has
been allowed to. sleep up to this time. The OBJ
,ect of the present movement is to receive it,
and make an earnest effort to place it on foun-
Fdation that will ensure success. The charter is
still alive, and all the reasons which ever exist
ed for the construction of the road, and which
seemed to render it profitable enterprise, still
exist in all their force and we doubt not that,
should the matter be placed in proper hands, the
necessary amount of stock may be easily secur-
ed to enable the Company to be organized
| We learn that, in the event of satisfactory ar
rangements being made by the proposed meet
ling on the 2eth, Robert Bowie, Esq, who has
been so successful in obtainging subscriptions to
the stock of the Agricultural College, is willing
to undertake canvass for the Road. His we'll
known enterprise would seem to guarantee that
| it would succeed in his hands, if any. We
earnestly hope, therefore, that there will be a
full attendance as proposed, of all interested in
the matter, that it will be placed in train of sue
cessful accomplishment.

OBITUARY

Died, at her residence, near Beantown, in this
county, on Wednesday, 2Sth of July, Miss MARY
J. BOONE, in the 18th year of her age.
The deceased was most amiable and worthy
woman, and to the poor, always charitable, endea-
voring in all the relations of life to do to Others
she would have them do to her. She has left no
enemies, but many neighbors and friends, to mourn
her loss, and being sincere believer in the truth
of Christianity, as set forth in the Gospel of Our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, it is confidently
hoped that they need not mourn as those without
hope, but inspired with confidence, that their lois
is her eternal gain. +

The EXECUTION AT New ORLEANs:-Joseph
Wright, alias Trip, was hanged on Friday last
| at New Orleans, within the walls of the Parish
Prison, for the murder of Henry Keene As
usual, the execution was witnessed by limited
number of persons, the crowd outside the prison
being much more numerous than that inside
The doomed man was accompanied to the plat
form by his spitural adviser Catholic priest
He, betrayed no fear nor even dread Of his APP
preaching fate, but calmly gazed on the omin-
GUS preparations, and walking firmly forward
seated himself upon the chair-his last resting
place this side of eternity. The moose was ad-
after whispered conference between the priest
and the condemned the former offered up a brief
and appropriate prayer, and retired from the
scene The wretched man then addressed the
following remarks to the persons assembled to
witness his dea,h:s
Gentlemen am prepared to die it is moth
ing to die, when you are once prepared. Geu-
tlemen, you have all got to die. pray God to
have mercy on my soul Amen.
The executioner disguised under white do
mino and hideous mask, then came forward
and pulled the white cap down over the crimi-
nails face a moment after, the rope which sus-
tanned the platform was cut and he was dang
ling in the air. Wright was large and appar-
|ently muscular man, but he died almost without
la struggle
