OF CENTER COUNTY.

nlzs- The Peoples Convention, which
was held at Harrisburg on the 22d ult.,
did good work in nominating Col. AN
DREW G. CURTIN, Of Centre County, for
Governor of this State. Col. Cul tain has
been a member of the State Legislature,
and has held the Office of Secretary Of
State. He is a lawyer of superior talent,
and a capital stump speaker, who will
most undoubtedly personally canvass the
State thoroughly and successfully, 20 mat
ter who the Democracy put against him.
He is strongly in favor Of protection tG
American industry, apd Of course opposed
to the extension of Slavery into free ter
ritories, aud is therefore just the man for
the people and the whole people, who re-
gard the interests of the white man supc-
rior to those OF the Stakeholder and bis
slaves. He is well worthy to be the sue
cessor of the present able Executive, who
has SO faithfully discharged the duties OF
that Office, and We venture the prediction
that he will be triumphantly elected next
October, Governor of Pennsylvania.

Parental SvmDathY,

Parents express too little sympathy for
their children. The effect Of this is Ia
mentable.
"How your children love you! 1 would
give the world to have my children so de
voted to NE - said mother to one who
did rot regard the time given TO her chill
drcn as so much capital wasted. Parents
err fatally when they grudge their time
necessary fer their ebildren's amusement
and instruction; for no investment brings
SO sure and so rich returns.
The chid's love is holy; nd, if the pa
rent does not fix that love himself. be de-
serves to lose it, and, in after life, to
bewail his property of heart.
The child's heart is full Of love, and it
must gush out toward somebody OF some
thing. If the parent is worthy of it, and
possesses it. be is blessed, and the child
is safe. When the child loves worthy
persons, and receives their sympathy, be
is less liable to be Influenced by the un
deserving; for, in his soul, are Godels ci
excellence, With which he compares 9th
ers.
ANY person can descend from his chill.
ling dignity, talking Familiarity and ten
derIy with him; and, when the little ore
wishes help. the parent should como out
of his distractions and cbeerfully helE
bim Then bis mind will return to bis
speculations elastic, and it will act with
force. All parents can fiDd few min
utes. occasionally. during the day, to
read little stories to the children, and tc
illustrate the respective tendencies of good
and bad feelings. They can talk to then
about flowers, birds, trees, about agels
and about God.
They can show interest in their sports
determining the character of them. Whst
is surer way than this OF binding tbC
child to the heart Of the parent Whor
you have made friend of child, got
may cons aratulute yourself yoa have {
friend for life.

A MAN PLEADS Hrs OWN CAsE.-In the
Quarter Sessions, Philadelphia, recently. man
named Pierce Kitchen was tried for an assault
and battery upon his wife. Mrs. Kitchen was
brought to the stand. She couldn't swear
that her husband had ever struck her, but
swore that he INDUCED in whisky and failed to
support his family. The defendant, who plead
not guilty, said that lawyers were humbugs,
ana informed the Court that he would plead
MS own cause. Mr.. Kitchen spread himself,
ana made speech. He faced the jury, and
went through the motions in a manner that
would have done no discredit to any of our
best Quarter Sessions practitioners. He in
formed the jury that, having failed to prove
that he ever laid an angry hand upon his wife,
ne couldn't possibly be convicted of an assault
upen her. As to the other charges he pleaded
Justification. "Mrs. Kitchen, gentlemen of the
jury, said Mr.. Kitchen, sis member of a
church, Mrs. Kitchen forsakes her kitchen.
and spends half her time in the church lee
ture-room While my breeches are running
to seed, and the children going about with i'll.
kept noses and dilapidated extremities, Mrs.
Kitchen Is indulging in a confab with a lot of
Old ladies about the shocking nudity of the
South Sea Islanders. While willing to pro-
vide for her gentlemen of the iury' amt
willing to feed all the brethren of the church.
nor to give BOhea parties to twenty people
twice week neither. If I've got tight on the
strength OF such provocation, gentlemen of
the jury, 1t amt bit more than the best of
you would have done if placed in nv circum-
stances; and If you was me, and was you-
knowing the case as 1 do-I'd render a YER
dict OF acquittal, and served the woman right. -
Having said this, Mr. Kitchen discontinued the
SUBJECT, and the jury placing their heads to-
gether rendered verdict of ''Not guilty"
