The Base BALL NUIsANcE.- season
/ for this game has again opened, and we may
expect the usual complaints from persons
who have young men and boys in their en-
ploy. Amusement and exercise should be
encouraged, but when base ball playing
is run in the ground as was the case al.
most everywhere last year, it becomes a
nuisance. Huntingdon Globe.

| Be PREPARED FOR THE CHOLERA Now that
the cholera season is approaching, the citi-
zens of all the towns in the country should
thoroughly cleanse all alleys, &c, near their
residences, and burn and bury all rubbish.

extensively this summer, and the Surgeon
General Of the United States army has or
dered preparations to be made for it at all the
military posts in the country. With proper
care the people outside of the large cities and
towns will have little to fear from it, Filth,
however, viii breed pestilence anywhere, and
it is best to prevent its ravages by proper
sanitary precautions.
RESIGNED Our jovial friend Mr. John C.
Carroll, who, for two years past has been en-
ployed in responsible positions on the Broad
Top Railroad, and latterly as Conductors has
resigned, and we understand, has been en-
rloYed as hrakesman. on anassenger train on
the Pennsylvania Central. We regret 10 part
with John, but we hope that his most sanguiue
expectations in the way of success will be
more than realized, as he is in every way de-
serving. We expect to hear from him often,
which announcement viii please many read
ers who admire his literary productions.
Mr. John Rahm has been appointed Con
ductor IN lieu of Mr.. Carroll. Huntingdon

RscoRDIYe OF SOLDIERS DIscHARGEs.-
The last Legislature passed a law requiring
the Recorders Of the several counties to place
on record the discharges of soldiers, so that
in case of their being lost or destroyed, the
proofs viii still remain on the county records.
1t is as follows:
SEc7Ioy /. Be Il enacted &c. That the
Recorders of Deeds in the sevele. counties Of
| this Commonwealth are hereby authorized
and required to record all final discharges of
commissioned and non commissioned officers
| and privates upon application being made to
I them by the holders Of the same, and that the
4 recording of the same shall not be subject to
the payment Of the State tax,
THE Bedford Inquirer of last week asks.
/ ssDid not Mr.. Scull favor the repeal Of the
| Connellsville charter, and did not he, with
several hundred influential citizens Of Somer-
set county, sign a petition for its repeal at the
time our Senator, Mr.. Householder, voted for
| it''
Mr. Scull did not favor the repeal Of the
Connellsville charter, nor did he sig1 peti-
ton asking for it. On the contrary, be
signed a petition against its repeal, and the
first knowledge he had of petition being
forwarded from this county tayoring it, he
derived from the above article Somerset
Wing.
The BIRDs.-Boys Of al sizes and ages
may not remember that there is a statute
prohibiting the killing of inseetivorous birds.
The tribe of insectivorous birds embraces
robins; wrens, blackbirds, wood peckers, wag-
4 tails chipping birds, yellow birds, cat thirds,
swallows, martins, sparrows, and almost every
kind, save the hawk, owl, eagle, and so-forth.
Don't kill the birds, boys. You should treat
them so kindly that they viii nest in the trees
in your yards, and pick up the crumbs al the
kitchen door.
