A SoLENy FARCE,-On Thursday the Dist
three young men were arraigned in court for
a wanton attack upon eolored barber sever
al weeks ago while quietly at work in his own
shop. They had been arrested and released
upon giving bail for their appearance at the
recent session Of court and their good be-
havior during the interval. The same par
ties before they had been arraigned in court
on this first charge, were again engaged in a
drunken quarrel and sent to prison. Under
these circumstances they came before the
court as above stated, pleaded guilty, without
any extenuating circumstances, and were
fined by the court two dollars each and costs
Of prosecution. We believe in tempering
justice with mercy but we also believe in tenn
pering mercy with such justice as will secure
peace and good order in the community.
Such traing penalties for aagrant outrages
are scarcely better than encouragement of
crime, and only make solemn mockery Of
the supposed power OF the law toprotect quiet,
unolfending and peacable citizens.

A WANT UPPLIED.-The want Of a good
book aud Stationery store, where all sorts of
stationary. books, papers, blanks can at
all times be hand. has long been felt by the
people Of our town and neighborhood. Hav-
ing often heard the want expressed, by both
our own people and strangers and believing
we found superior facilities for the business,
we have been induced to undertake 10 supply
1t. We begin with small but well assorted
stock intending to increase it gradually as we
gain a better knowledge of the wants of the
community. Havin began the business we
iatend to make it permanent thing. We
will keep a well assorted stock of stationery.
books, periodicals and newspapers always on
had, and viii furnish to order ANYTHING not
found in our present stock, at the lowest re-.
tail prices. Buying and selling for cash only,
as we intend to do, We viii be enabled to sell
as cheap as the cheapest.

DicEESs AMERICAN NoTEs.-We have just
received from the publishers, (Iieknor q
Fields; Boston, a copy Of these much abused
papers Of the great novelist. The enterpris-
ing publishers improved the very moment Of
Mr.. Dickens arrival on our shores by issuing
this timely edition of his criticisms Of our
American life of twenty years ago. 1t was
called forth by the following editorial in the
"Neg York Tribune of0ct, %.
We regret to observe that one or two jour
nails are spiteful enough to print some very
unkind remarks about Charles Dickens in an
ticipation of his forthcoming visit to America.
Mr.. Dickens said some pretty hard thinGs Of
us many years ago, but it is by no means GER
tain that we did not deserve them; and even if
we did not, any man of sense ought to know
that whatever little injury he ever did us has
been twenty times outweighed by the substan-
tial good he has conferred upon the world.
The fact is, we doubt whether those who are
now rudest in their eensure of the great move.
list know how much truth aud good sense are
embodied in the writings with which they
principally find fault, and how groundless is
the assertion that he ''abused the hospitality
which We forced upon him. It would be a
wise thing good for Mr.. Dickens and good
for ourselves-ifou our publishers would take the
present opportunity to pat upon the market
new edition Of the American Notes. that
would help us to know how little we had to
complain of from The hands ofour guest, how
much we have mended our manners, and how
much there is still to mend.

ANCIENT FINE AIRS. To The Editor Of the
Ne,g York Herald; Respecting the relics Of
porcelain ware found in the late exhumations
at Hercuaueum, which have been forwarded
to the Society Of Antiquities iH London,
whereof your correspondent says the bottle
resembling brakes Plantation Bit.ers was
undoubtedly placed among the ruins by the
agent of Dr. Drake, we desire to state he is
incorrect in every respect. If bottle was
found there bearing our lettering, thelanguage
Of the Ancient Romans was different from
the accepted literature of that day. Our
Agent has other business than this in Europe
and has not been in Italy at all. No doubt
Americans carry Plantation Bitters to Romei
but trying to impose upon a society Of Anti
qnarians in this way, seems quite useless, and
we do nos appreciate the joke. it is unnee
essary for US 10 spend money in Europe while
we are unable TO supply the demand for these
celebrated Bitters here, Respectfully,

AFFlxINe STAMPS. From The following no.
tiee which we copy, persons mailing letters
viii see what their duty is in regard to. that
matter.
Many inquiries have from time to time
reached us from postmasters as to their duty
in regard to afixing stamps on letters, &C.,
handed to them at the postofice, accompa
MED by the necessary amount of postage in
money. The duty Of postmaster in re-
gard to this matter is very clear. 1t is to see
that all matter sent from his office, on which
prepayment is required, IS pre- paid By
stamps. 1t is not bis dnty to prepay such
matter himself; that is the business of the
person who deposits the matter in the post
Office, and he should afix the necessary
stamps, and not call upon the postmaster or
clerks to do so. There are circumstances un-
der which it is proper for postmaster or
clerk to afix them, as mater Of common
courtesy or charity-as in the case ofa woman +,
child, a cripple, an aged or very ignorant
person; but he is not only not required to do
1t in ordinary cases, but is, for various rea-
sons, very desirable that he should not make
a practice Of it. Where it involves neglect
of his regular prescribed duties, it should
aercr be done. Without enlarging further on
the subject, we viii mention that this practice
not long since led to the arrest Of two clerks
in postoflice for very serious violation Of a
law relating to the postoffice,

THE MoRasoN's Cove RAILWAY. This
project has been revived again as we learn
from citizens along the route and from the
Hollidaysburg Register. That paper says
''the engineers are now at work surveying the
route for the proposed railroad from HoIli-
daysburg 10 Pattonsville, in Bedford county.
There are two routes talked of-one by way
of Newry, the other directly from Holidays.
hurg ria the Reservoir to Martha Furnace and
the Gap Works. The enterprise is in the
hands Of men who viii push it to completion
The iron manufacturers Of that vicinity are
all deeply interested in its success, and from
the manner in which they are going into the
work we believe it viii succeed. The eiti.
zens all along, and at the otLer terminus Of
the road will, as a matter of course, give the
enterprise all the assistance they can. The
road, when built, will open up one Of the
richest grain growing districts in the State,
besides bringing to market the inexhaustible
quantities Of iron ore with which this part of
the country abounds."
This is very encouraging, and We hope that
the project will be pushed right along. There
is an abundance Of capital to complete the
road along the line; all that will be neces-
sary for the farmers to do will be to subscribe
half as much stock as such an Improvement
viii enhanced the value of their lands and
the road will be made.
