in regardfo secession of the Southern States
Let us look to the machinery and see if our ship
has a sea-worthy engine in her before we ven
ture out on the ocean of Nations. Let us go to
work and build up manufactures, and develope
the resources of the South. Let us learn to make
our shoes, cloths, our carpets, our machinery,
our guns and ammunition. BY the bye, this re-
minds us of a fact which many of our younger
bloods no doubt have overlooked. How stands
our military? How many men can We in Mary
land, arm and equip for the field, if it were re-
quiste to call them out tomorrow. next week
we are sadly deficient in this department. Look
to your machinery, friends, before you attempt
to get up steam. "Be sure you are right, then
20 ahead" This is our sentiment.

INSANE STRANGER.-On Saturday last, Mr..
Leonard Farrall, near this village, fell in with
and brought before DR.. Franklin, justice Of the
peace, as suspicious character a stranger, who
gave could give very little account of himself.
He turned out evidently to be an insane person.
He gives his name as George F. Morrison, which
name is written in a bold, business hand upon
the bosom of his shirt. Says his fathers name
is James B. Morrison, of Dayton. Ohio, and that
he is on leave of absence from the Navy, and is
on his way to Norfolk, Va, whence he designs
making his way to Mexico. He was dressed in
blue cloath coat and grey pantaloons, shoe
soles tied with string to his feet. The Doctor
thinks, from conversation with him, that he is
an escaped lunatic from the Washington Luna
tic Asylum. BY the advice of the States At
torney, he was set at liberty and the last we
heard of him he was endeayoring to board a
steamer for Norfolk, Va.
RIFLEs-The Smallwood Riflemen have re-
ceived information from the Adjutant General,
that their arms will be forthcoming The Ad-
jutant was surprized that they had not already
been received, his orders having been expressly
given to his Agent in Baltimore to forward
them before this.

BELL AND EVERETT MEETING AT ALIENS

In pursuance of notice, quite respectable

day last. ALEXANDER SHEIRBURN, Esq, was
appointed President and H. II. FREEMAN. Sc
cretary ...
hA->if-L '" LA" AlNS, ESQ, lnen TOOK the
stand and delivered most eloquent and argu-
mentative speech in behalf of the Union candi-
dates and their principles, rebuking with scath-
ing effect the fanaticism of the Republican party.
and the disunion sentiments of Southern fire
eaters. He triumphantly refuted the sanderous
charges of Abolitionism against Bell and Everett,
contained in Breckenridge campaign document
extensively circulated in our midst
| An invitation was then extended to either
wing of the Democracy, whereupon Thomas D.
STONE, Esq, in a speech Of much enthusiasm,
We'd with any man in his attachment to the
Constitution and the Union
Mr.. HAWKINS rejoined at some length, after
which
Mr.. SAMUEL Cox, being loudly called for, took
the stand and addressed the meeting in a strong
patriotic and practical speech, in behalf Of the
Union candidates He was particularly severe
in his reprobation of the Southern Democracy
in arrogating to themselves the claim of being
the exclusive champions of Southern rights. He
deprecated the feeling attempted to be excited
by passionate appeals to Southern chivalry,'
and proclaimed that no one would sooner resist
Northern aggression upon the Constitutional
rights Of the South, than himself or the candi-
dates whom he supported.

STANDING AT CHURCH DooRs.-We often see
in papers complaint made of men and boys
standing at church doors when the services
are over, and bitter are the denuncIations that
are showered upon the heads of those who are
addicted to this habit. We know that the
doors of the sanctuary are often blockaded by
impudent fellows, who stare ladies out of coun-
tenance and make improper remarks. Such
conduct deserves the severest censure 1T is
ungentlemanly and inexcusabie. Yet, whilst
we are ever ready to pitch rough-shod into
any male biped who is guilty of such conduct,
We are inclined to think that much of this
standing around church doors originates in the
habit OF ladies huddling together in the aisles,
and remaining in the pews till the male por-
zion OF the congregation passes out-hence, if
a gentleman has accompanied lady to church
"a husband his wife, or a brother his sister
he is necessarily compelled to wait for her at
Inc door outside, for which he may he de-
nounced as being impudent, rowdy, &C., or
aeave the lady return home alone, at the risk
OF being insulted on the street. But how ia
this to be remediedf To great extent ft-can
be done by having the males and females sit
together promiscuously, which enables them
to pass out as they entered. This will also
put . stop to much of the gaping around on
che part OF young people to spy out their las
sizes and beaux-a hint that some older heads
might also profit by. The ili-mannered fell
lows who are disposed to loiter around church
doors, with no other object than to stare at
Ioiks, would thus find their number SO small
ana so marked that they would fear to do SO
olten, and would soon be driven off entirely.

Letter from Morris Township.

Mr. EDITOR Il had the pleasure of attend
ing an exhibition of the school of Miss Annie
Morgan. at Swartz' School house in this town.
ship, On Monday evening the 9th inst. Not
withstanding the unpleasantness ofthe evening,
the scholars were honored with large audi
ence, who were very orderly and attentive.
They appeared to enjoy the exercises very
much, and appreciate the labors of the teach
er, who had taken so much pains to prepare
their sons and daughters to appear in public
and acquit themselves so honorably indeed.
The performance throughout reflects great
credit upon both teacher and pupils.
By special invitation. Mr.. Wm. NJ. McCul-
Tough addressed the children upon the subject
of education, and was listened to with marked
attention throughout. Mr. M. had formerly
been the teacher in this school, and he remin-
ded them of the many pleasant hours spent
with them, in the relation of teacher and pupil
that he looked back 10 that time with pleas
ant recolections. He pointed out the advan-
tages which the youth of the present day en-
JOY that were denied to their ancestors. He
noticed also the grand mistake, which is only
too frequently made by both children and pa
| rents, that pupils can never become scholars
in common schools. He reminded them that
some of our most eminent men and scholars
had received their education here. He urged
upon the scholars the necessity of perseve-
rance under all circumstances, and appealed
to the parents to educate their children, and
above all to teach them TO revere the Holy
Sabbath day and attend to its duties. He con-
cludcd his remarks by saying that if he had
melted any one to greater deeds and nober
aims, he asked no better reward. ssLet your
motto be onward and upward, and your labor
shall not be in vain, but wreaths of honor shall
crown thy brow and gems shall glitter in the
diadem of fame.''
On Saturday morning, 11th inst, the roof of
jerry McCartney's house in Kylertown took
fire from the stove-ppe, but the flames were
quenched by the timely efforts Of the citizens
before much damage was done.
The scarlet fever continues to prevail una
bated in this neigh5orhood, and several cases

The closing Years of Life are often rendered
wretched by ailments which trihing in them
selves and easily cured if taken in time. Affec-
ton of the liver, stomach, and other organs con-
cerned in digestion, are the most frequent They
naturally make the sufferer irritable and
complaining, and relatives and friends are forced
to bear the brunt of their i'll humor. The use of
Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove
an efficient remedy for this evil. it will not only
strengthen the whole physical organization, but
entirely cure the most obstinate cases of Indigcs-
ton, Diarrhea, Dysentery, and Liver complaint.
The first physicians in the country are loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another recon-
mendation of the Biters is that it is palatable
to the taste that it may be used even a bever-
age. Sold by all druggists.
