The Coming Winter and the Poor.

Winter Is always
a terror to the poor. BY "the poor" we do not
moan those who have comfortable homes and an
abundance Of the nocessaries fife, who CONS
plain and call themselves poor, because the times
are hard and they cannot speculate, and Go busi-
ncss on as grand scale as they did when times
were COED and money plenty. We have toe many
Of this kind in our own midst, and thty would do
well to be thankful for what they have, lest a
time come when they shall have reason to com
plain. When we say the poor mean such as
are really poor men who have to support them
90 .yes and their families b, daily labor, and who
are out Of employment and can get none and
whose families are now suffering are likely tp
suffer for want Of food, and who from their ina
biity to pay ent, shall be turned out to contend
with the biting frosts and the piercing winds OF
Winter such are the really poor God only
knows what viii become of such during the ap
preaching Winter. With this Winter will come
terrors to them never before known in this land
Naver has SO many been thrown out of employ
ment by the stopping of manufactures of different
kinds never before have the horrors Of civil war
visited us, throwing the whole country into con,
vulsions and drawing the attention of the humane
from the suffering poor TO the condition of our ar
nv; reyer has the merchant been so unwilling
to sell lis goods to the poor who for want Of the
means with which to pay for them are obliged tc
ask credit at his hands; never has the employer
of those Hho now have work, been SO unwilling
or SO unable to pay his employees, promptly, and
at fair rates. And all these things, now, are
comparatively light to what they will be when
Winter shall set in, in earnest--when the very
fountains of nature shall appear to be frozen up.
God sare the poor! God save the rich Save the
poor from waI t and starvation Save the rich
from selfshness Help the poor to remember that
God is the friend of those who trust in him =

Our Knitting Association.

We are glad that the
Knitting Association in our town is in active op-
Grafton. We hope that societies will be formed in
every place where they do not already exist. and
that good report may be madeof Centre county.
There seems to be misunderstanding in regard
to who receives the money for the socks. The
money is paid to the Treasurer of the Society, to
be applied to the Soldiers Relief Fund. The
general impression appears to be that the money
was to be paid to the County Treasurer. This is
mistake, however.
Some person who pretends to know all about
knitting has written communication for the
Philadelphia Press, which may be interesting to
our lady readers. The following is the communi-
cation
"How TO KNIT SOLDIERS STOCKINGS

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Gov. Curtin.

Gov. Curtin
On last Friday evening our gallant
Governor, arrived in our town, where he came for
the purpose of recruiting his health, which has
been mnch impaired by the close attention he has
paid to the many and arduous duties which deyo We
upon him in his present responsible position -
No Govern or of any State has ever had more Ia
Dor to perform and more difficulties to contend
with, than has Gov. Curtin during the short
time he has occupied the position Of Chief Execu-
tive of the Keystone State When he assumed
the responsibilities Of Governor and seized the
reins of Government, he found the State on an
admirable ''peac footing" prepared only to en-
10y the peace and happiness which had so long
been our portion. And, when soon after, call
came for Is, 900 men from Pennsylvania, to pro-
tect the city of Washington, then it was that
our Governor was obliged to spend seepless nights
and days of labor, ardless of his personal well
fare and comfort How increasingly he labored-
how zeaiousy he toiled how he bent all his en-
ergies to raise the men and means to respond to
the call of ths Government The call was an :
swered Another cali came, and still another; ;
They are all answered, with a readiness which
of our noble Governor. Little do we know what
amount Of labor was required to raise and equip
and feed the large number of soldiers which wos
required at t he hands of Gov Curtin. We can
not form an idea of the amount of labor which he
has performed since his Inauguration. Yet not
withstanding all his labor and all his untiring
zeal there we're those found who were willing to
charse upon him sins of other men, and make him
responsible for the frauds committed by greedy
contractors. But he has came out of all these
charges of corruption with clear skirts, and now
stands high above his slanderers. We are proud
of him We are proud that he is our fellow
citizen n and at the same time one of the first and
greatest men of the nation.
Upon his arrival in our town, Gov. Curtin stop
ped with VIM. P. Wilson, Esq atwhose residence
be was visited by large crowd of our citizens
and the Band, on Friday evening. Upon the ar
rival of the procession, the Governor made his
appearance, and was publicly welcomed, on be-
half of tho crowd by II. N. MeAlli ster, Esq, in
most appropriate speech. The Governor then
assembled the stand, amid tho most yociferouS
cheering, and delivered such speech as Govern
or Curtin only can make. We viii not attempt to
report it for we could not do the speaker justice
we wish all our readers could have heard it. We
wish all our readers could have seen him.
On Monday Gov. Curtin returned to the scene
Of his labor.

Some person or persous entered the cellar

If we are not misinformed, the articles taken are
twelve bushels of potatoes, five bushels Of apples,
five loaves of bread, five pies, basket of cakes
thirteen cans of fruit and all the milk and cream
in the cellar. If one man got all this it is not

Death BY Fire.

On Monday evening the 7th ms tant,
an accident happened in this place which has
caused the death of an old female resident, named
Mrs Nancy Higgins. The old lady was almost
helpless, from age. Her supper was carried to
her ON and while she was eating, her attendant
repaired another part of the house. When she
returned she found the old lady with the candle
upon her knee, her clothes in flame and portions
of her body burned to crisp. She lived in agony
until Thursday morning, when death put an end
to her sufferings.
