County Poor HoUsE.-At the late session
of the Legislature an act was passed providing
that the voters Of Bradford County should
vote at the coming election upon the question
of County Poor House. This law also made
it the duty of the Sheriff to publish the act at
least six weeks before the day of election. 1t
has been impossible for the Sheriff to comply
with the provisions of the law, because the
pamphlet laws have not yet been received,
and the law itself did not come to the notice
of the Sheriff, until the time had passed.

Baltimore others TO men in New York, and
a number for Europe. 10 addition to this,
there were various bills of sale, dated at Rich
mond, for pork and other articles, and large
package of money principally in notes on banks
in the Confederate States. All Of these arti-
ces, says the reporter, were done up in neat
packages, and looked as if they had been sub
iected to the pressure of an hydraulic press.

The PUBLIC FEELING ON THE WAR.-The
firm and vigorous action taken by the Govern
ment has Infused fresh courage and hopeful
ness into the public heart. Men who less than
week ago were desponding, are now full of
confidence and resolution. The tide Of events,
which seemed 10 be adverse so long, has turn
ed, and everything now seems to be working
in favor of the Government. The splendid
success Of our feet in capturing the forts at
Hatteras the vigor and energy displayed in
FREMoNr's proclamation the wreck of the
best of the rebel priyateers the reported
death of their leader the splendid response
of the people to the call of the Government
for money to carry on the war the fresh life
and activity visible in every department of the
public service, and the highly encouraging re-
ports which reach us from abroad, have COM
bined to infuse hope and cheerful faith 10 the
public mind Business of all kinds shows the
effect of this change. Men no longer fear to
act. They have felt the strength and stability
of the Government, and now that it is ample
for their protection. They no longer fear its
overthrow, or wha: was far more dreadful, its
decay and death from inanition 1t has shown
itself strong in the attachment of the people,
the surest basis which any Goverement can
possibly have.

ISAAC LYONS, Of Orwell, was declared duly
nominated
For Auditor, ROBERT MASON, of
Armenia township, was nominated on second
ballot.
The following Resolutions were reported by
the Committee -
The Republicans of Bradford County, through their
delegates in annual Convention assembled do hereby
solve and declare.
st That time has strengthened our conviction in the
justice aud soundneSs OF those great principles OF human
freedom which the people ratified at the last Presidential
election. The yiruence with which they have been
tackled by the enemies of free institutions, prove
their great value to the loyal people Of the whole
country.
I'd. The war which is being waged under the lead of
reckless and ambitious of the South, is the
wicked and shameful rebellion, against mild and bene
hcent government that has stained the page of his
tory.
Sd Our Constitution our laws our civil and religious
liberties are the great questions involved in the present
contest and whoever now councils peace through base
abandonment OF those principles which underlie free
government IS traitor to the best interests OF humanity
and justly merits traitors doom.
4th The whole physical power and energies of our
government and OF people, if necessary, should be
called into requisitOn to subdue rebeous citizens for
the greatest possible sacrifice and blood
oil trng value, compared with the loss of that
ment which secures and protects all that and dear
to US and to our poSterity.
5th. We have undiminlshed confidence in the wisdom
otlaiu VI Iie OF LIN
COLIN and rejoice that it has entered upon the work
OF arresting traitors in the North well the South.
9th. The Administration of Gov. CURTIN has shown n
commendabe zeal in strengthening the Of the Cen
eral Government with the willing hearts and stalwart
forms of Pennsylvania sons.
7th That security for the future is in infexibe
adherence to the time honored principles of Revou
tonary fathers through whatever bloody encounters it
may lead us.

KISSING.

There nrc thousand things which are extreme.
ly common, and yet very little understood. Kiss.
ing is one of them. Every body thinks that it is
delightful process; but who can tell why7 Philos-
ophers have overlooked 1t, and the vulgar, content
with the practice have cared nothing for the theory
This Is wrong. A knowledge of the causes of
natural phenomena increase their enjoyment
Who hears not the rcverbcrations of thunder, and
sees the gleam of the lightning with increased
pleasure, when he understands the laws of cleo
hicity2 Gives not astronomy new glory 10 the
starry heavens. Who, so much as the scientific
botanist delights in plants and nowers--for even
the weed, dcspised by common observers, to him
ologist takes in n bank of earth or a ledge of
rocks! Science not only renders pleasant things
more delightful but it makes those pleasant,
which were otherwise disgusting. Have you ever
noticed the anatomist, mangle the mortal remains
of his fellow creature, which he has bought at
some hospital, or stolen from some grave yard?
Can any thing be more horrible and disgusting 2
Yet he bends over it for hours, with delight
Why2 He is making scientific investigation
The muscles. tendons, ligaments, arteries, veins,
nerves, articuatons, &C., are all to him intense.
ly interesting, for he knows their uses and some
thing OF their laws. If then, science can make
disgusting things pleasant, and pleasant things
more delightful, what must be the plilosophy or
science of kissing? Walking is we'll understood
Seeing, every school girl can explain. Boys in
pctticoots can explain the principles of gravita
ton; but who has explained the philosophy o.
kissing, Or treated it scientifically? Echo an
swers-for people buss and smack, and even kis
very prettily, and in some cases very delightfully."-
without well knowing what they are about Sucl
woful ignorance ought not to be. 1t is disgrace
to this refined, scientific, and transendental era
Kissing is universal. The tea-making, opium
smoking, incomprehensiblc, and unalterablC
Chinese the dark skined, warm blooded IIndoos
the uncouth and dirty Hottentotts; the thick
Tipped wool-heody Negroes; the dark eyed Span

getic, enterprising and inventive American-
Thus, from birth to DEATH in all countries, il
every cline, and from all antiquity, men an,
women have been putting their lips together
while not one in a million has ever understoo,
why or wherefore. How like twin cherries mus
have looked the lips of the beautiful Helen, whel

CJIILDHOOD's SCENE.
by MISS C. z.

Where is there spot ou earth 80 dear,
Fields so green and skies so clear;
Where bright waters flow in thcirbcds serene,
It's my native home nv childhood's scene
Where birds do warble their sweetest lay,
With enchanting music hail each day;
From leaty boughs their plumage sheen,
It's my native land my childhood's scene
Where many long hour whed away,
Plucking pure lilies and roses gay;
Then by the trees shade from the sun would screen,
That place I'd see it's my childhood's scene
Where with sisters and brothers by the brook
strayed,
And on its green banks with volets Played;
But it is now long since together we've been,
Where memory fingers, ON childhoods scene
Where the moss. covered rock gigantic laid
On whose adamant crest our houses we made;
The roof of fboughs, the carpet evergreen;
0 sweet is memory Of childhood's scene
Often in my dreams, again roam there,
And with imaginary roses entwined my hair;
But 10 on awakng, find I've not been
Where memory fingers on childhood's scene
Fond imagination often beguilcs,
That father and mother are there with there smiles
That sisters and brothers at the old hearth convene
Where memory fingers on childhood's scene
But it is all in vain, it can be so no more,
For some have alas! gone to another shore;
And the old cottage is rooiess, it's walls do lean
No more can we meet, around childhood's scene
| then bid adicu, to the scene of my youth,
Try with fond hopes my memory to soothe;
Though the fathomless deep may yet intervene
lndeliblc in memory is my childhood's scene !

Bad Luck to Him.

A graccless scamp has been circulating a re-
port that the mud is five feet deep OH the sidewalks
on Clay street. This report is unqucstionably
designed to prejudice the public mind against our
Town Council, and very unustly too. Our Town
Council, with degree Of enterprise and public
spirit worthy of all praise, have paved the side
walks on Clay street-with wind--annuay for
the last forty five years. To show the depths OF
ouly necessary for us to say that there is no
truth in the report of the mud being five feet deep
Why, the County Surveyor has measured it accu.
rately and asccrtained the average depth to be
but four feet eleven inches. We hope papers
friendly to truth will copy and thus aid in passing
the y.ng scoundrel round.

Robbery.

Report says an attempt was made to murder
and rob Mr.. JOHN VAN LEAR, of Loudenville, one
day last week, between Ashland and Loudenvillc
Mr.. Twas known to have a considerable amount
of money in his possession. 1t is said that while
On the road from Ashland to LoudenvilIe three
men came out of wood and attacked him. He
was struck on the head with slung-s shot which
fractured his skull and another stroke from n
similar instrument gave him dangerous wound in
the side. These strokes knocked Mr. V. insensi-
bic for the instant, and of the scoundrels COM
menced rihng his pockets; before he got through
with that job Mr. ", who is powerful man, got
him down in the buggy and held him until he drove
him into Loudenve 1t is said all three of the
men have been arrested. There arc many con-
flicting reports concerning the affair." We hope
to be able to give the true version next week.
We have heard no names.

Get Credit.

A number Of our subscribers have brought us
wood which is not credited to them We desire
nil who have brought us wood to call our atten-
tion to it and have it placed to their credit. We
hope this request will be attended to for the reason
that at the close Of the present volume, which
will be in three weeks, We intend to stop sending
the paper to a number of persons who have been
getting it going on two years without paying
anything. If those who have brought us wood
and coal do not get their credits some of them
might find their paper discontinued. We are
sorry to part with those we scratch off, we would
willingly work for nothing for them but we have
paid out over dollar in cash to get paper where
on to print for each of them. We could stand
working for nothing and boarding ourselves but
we can't afford to buy the paper for them.

Cleveland PIaindealer.

Some two months ago we paid the difference of
exchange, (three dollars, for the Plaindealer for
one year from that time. The paper came regu-
larly for q time; afterwards it came occasionally
but since the early part of this month we have
not received copy We have written three
letters asking that the paper be properly ant
regularly sent, these have been treated witt
silent contempt. We are slow to believe thai
the proprietor of the Plaindealcr intends to swim
die out of three dollars but at present we have
no other way of solving the matter.
