A HUMAN WAD-The India Rubber
Man, at the Museum, answers to this name.
He does himself up into ball, eighteen
inches square, and makes himself comforta-
BILE in a box of that size he turns his feet
behind him, and walks forward with his
heels in front; he carries a hump on his
shoulders, which, by a sudden movement
of the body, he thrusts forward upon his
chest, he showing its entire disappearance
from behind. BY another movement, he
throws it to its more convenientresting place
ON his back. On seeing his acting, one
would feel but little additional surprise to
see him take his head off and put it back
again.-N T. Sun.

American Meeting In Blair County.

The Americans of Blair county recently
held meeting at which the following sen.
sible resolutions were adopted. Union
among the opposition, not merely one Of
expediency but of general sentiment, such
as characterised the whig party in its palmy
days, is most desirable and to effect this,
all ought to be willing to yield something,
though care must be taken to keep out OF
the lead the swindlers and political scoun-
dreis who first destroyed the whig and then
the American party Purge the opposition
of these, and CRITTENDFN or any other
good man who may be named will be the
next President.
Resolced, That the pandering of any Polit-
cal party Of our Country to Foreigners or to
Hierarchies, is fraught with manifold evils, is
subversve of the best interests of the country
and ought to receive the uncompromising
condemnation of every American freeman.
RcSolUed, That there is no antagonism be-
tween labor and capital, but that they are
mutually dependent upon each other; and
that the present prostration of American La
Dor and American Manufacturers, admonishes
us of the necessity of protecting the same by
a iudicious Tariff of specific duties from that
ruinous competition with the combined capi-
tai and pauper labor of Europe and that Con
gress should enact such laws as will protect
American Labor and American capital from
such ruinous competition.
ResolUed, That we are opposed to the ex-
tension of Slavery over Territory now free
and that the use of the power of the General
Government to that end, as in Kansas, under
the Administration of Presidents Pierce and
Buchanan, is an outrage upon the Govern
ment, disgraceful to the country and to hu-
manity, and should ever be firmly resisted.
ResolUed, That the attempt of the present
Democratic Administration to force upon the
people of Kansas Constitution which great
majority of them have rejected with indigna
ton and adherence, and in utter contempt
of the popular WILL should excite against the
Administration party the determined opposi
ton of the friends of true Democracy and
Republican government, in all parts of the
country; that this is the SD year of Ameri-
can Independence. and not the lst year of
American Monarchy, and that we are for
cherishing and maintaining the Rights of the
people against the assaults of trucking poll
ticians, ambitious knayes and fanatical sec
tioual brayadoes.

Broth for the Poor or Broth for Dr. Justice
that's THE QUESTION.

Broth for the Poor or Broth for DR.. Justice
THAT'S THE QUESTION.
My article was only intended to draw pub
lie attention to the Misrepresentation in the
Press, not to enter into discussion with
Justice" or any other demagogue lie re-
peats his chicken story however with so much
gusto, and calls on the late steward so author
itatively, that | desire to ask whether said
steward could not have purchased some of
the chickens from Derry and Decatur that al
most daily passed the poor house, whenever
needed? 1t is known that he exercised the
authority to purchase other matters he
thought necessary, in amount sufficient to
have bought two or three hundred chickens,
without particularly consulting the board
and it therefore sounds passing strange, if
Justices statement be true in the sense he
desires to convey it. that he could not supply
a sick pauper with broth without applying to
the board. The late steward may have said
that he had no chickens for broth, but do
not believe either he or the directors were
bound dewn not TO purchase chickens, or that
he ever said so. More likely it is q cock and
bull story of Justices, on par with the
statement in late number of the Press that
there was swill enough at the poor house to
keep Twenty-Five hogs, when the whole mum
Der of inmates including the steward and his
help, did not exceed twenty persons 1t is
by such silly statements that Justice expects
to raise a candidate for the next election who
will furnish him with "broth," mot the poor)
a project quite worthy of baby editor, but
of which an NJ. b. ought to be ashamed, or if
he is not. the profession ought to he ashamed
Of him. Should he continue to administer
his quark nnstrums to the public. on this sub
jcct when the election comes around he may
again hear from AN OLD STUDENT.
p. S. Did Justice ever read the story of shc
ram who butted himself away all but the tail?
If he has not it is time to hunt it up. as it
suits his present Sancho Panza pursuit to

For the Gazette.

At q meeting of the subscribers, physicians
of Lewistown. held on the Oath of December,
1857, the subject of remuneration to the ply
sicians appointed by the Directors of the Poor
of Mif1in county being brought up and care
fully considered, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the remuneration to the
physicians attending the county poor, owing
TO the nature and extent Of their services, has
been entirely inadequate.
Resslred, That the physicians attending the
Poor House should receive the annual COM
pensation of taco hundred dollars.
Resolced, That the "out door poor" or
persons receiving professional relief, should
be attended by such physicians as they may
themselves select, and the physicians so at
tending be compensated by the county at
fair and just rate.
Or. Resolved, If the Directors prefer it, the
physicians appointed to attend the County
Poor House" will attend that house for one
dollar visit, two visits to be made a week,
and as many more as the cases may require.
Should the Directors accept this alternative,
in preference to the first proposition OF two
hundred year, then in addition to one dol
lar per visit, five dollars will be charged for
every "obstetrical case' in the house, and
surgical cases shall be paid for at the usual
rate of the /" fee biH." -

By the foregoing statement it will be seen
that the alternate proposition gave the Direc-
tors the power to receive the professional ser
Lewistown gazette. [volume] (Lewistown, Pa.) 1843-1944, 1858-04-29

vices of two physicians to be selected by
themselves, ut the old established rate of one
dollar for every necessary visit. This is the
same rate private family is charged for this
distance. The number of necessary visits
the past year did not exceed one hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE, making $l25
Five obstetrical cases ut SIS each, rs
The out door practice may be set down at 40
Making for the whole year, $50
1t was year of general health, neverthe-
less it is not conceived that the whole expense
under any circumstances could have exceeded
the sum of $500.
Had any compromise been offered, they
would have been willing to give guarantee
that the whole expense for the year, embra-
cling every branch of service, should not go
beyond the sum of $3.50; and had the year
proved one of health, the sum would not have
amounted to $200-thus the county would
have been the gamer. In their opinion, this
is not too much, when the nature and extent
of the services are considered, embracing the
Poor House, the Borough and the district of
seven miles around it. But the premature
and precipitate appointment in February in
stead of March, the usual time of appoint
ment, prevented any accommodation. twill
be thus seen that the allegation made that
their proposition would cost the county from
$500 to $1,000, is entirely gratuitous and
without foundation Respect for themselves,
no less than the public, renders the foregoing
statement proper and becoming on their part
With this exposition, impeaching the motives
of no one, they dismiss the further considera-
ton of the subject, leaving the public to form
their own opinion.

Communicated.
DfED,-In Lewistown, on Sabbath morn
ing last, JAMES A. CUNNINGHAM, Esq,
aged about 40 years.
The death of Mr.. Cunningham is a loss to
our community of valued citizen. With
the exception of few years, his manhood
was spent in Lewistown, and through his
connection with the press, and as a public
officer, he was we'll known throughout the
country, and highly esteemed. He came to
this place from Huntingdon county shortly
after attaining his majority, and soon
won the confidence and regard which integ-
rity and genuine manliness of character al
ways inspires, and sustained it to the last
He was loved most by those who knew him
best He was modest and unassuming, as be
was frank, open and generous. He had a
large heart which met the demands of mis-
fortune more than half way, and alu ays
with a free and open hand. If he was gen.
erous, he was also a just man in all his
intercourse with the world, dischargin g
every duty and meeting every responsibility
Our friend has gone, and while this commu'
nifty laments its loss, it sympathizes with the
relatives in their painful bereavement. To
the God of the fatherless and the afflicted we
commend them for comfort in this hoar of
misfortune. He was a good man, and his re.
ward is on high his work is done and his
labors, in answer to his dying prayer APP
proved. He rests in peace.
There's world where all are equal
We are hurrying towards it asst
We shall meet upon the level there,
When the gates of death are passed
We shall stand before the Orient,
And our Master will be there,
And try the blocks we offer
By his own unerring square. W.
