OUR YOUNG FoIKs.-This popular juve
nile Monthly for January is at hand, and is
a splendid number. For 1869, its contents
will be far more practical and instructice
than heretofore. The Story of a Bad Boy,
by T. b. Alrich, is believed to be regarded
rs one of the freshest, healthiest, and most
entertaining stories ever written for youth
full readers. The Biographical Sketches of
great Navigators, Voyagers, and Discover
ers, by James Parton, will be valuable not
only for their biographical character, but
equally SO for the clearness and emphasis
with which they will bring out numerous
important facts in Geography and give to
them a living interest. The series of arti-
cles ON practical matters by Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, will give special value and
interest to his suggestions on Talking,
Reading, Writing, Travelling, Working,
and Conduct in Society. The series of
semi-scientific papers by Mrs. Agassiz, will
treat of subjects of great interest to all
thoughtful young persons,-such as Coal
Deposits, the groth of Carol Islands, the
causes and history of Earthquakes, etc.
The articles by J. T. Trowbridge ON sever
al branches of industry, Making,
CoaLMining, Ship Building, Watch-Mak-
ing, etc., will be peculiarly full and inter-
csting. The valuable series of papers on
American History by Mr.. Bone, the Dia-
logues by Epes Sargent, aud the Declama-
tions by Elijah Kellogg, will add not a
little to the interest of the Magazine. and
assist to make it what it has always been,
the best juvenile periodical in the United
States. Price $500. Fields, Osgood & Co.,
Successor to Ticknor & Fields,) Publish
ers, Boston.

EDITORIAL CONVENTIONAL cOnven-
ton of the editors of Central Pennsyl-
vania will be held on the Sth of Janu-
airy next, at Bellefonte. for the purpose,
mainly, of agreeing on scale Of prices
for advertising and job work. The
movement is a good one, and, for the
general interests of the State, an inn
portant one For the newspapers
themselves, its influence cannot but be
strengthening and improving in every
way. Organization is the lever Of
modern progress, and it is rather sur
prising that the newspaper interest has
for so long time remained, as it We're,
in Observation-Disclosures Press.

PAY DAY.

Now that we are at the end of the
old wear it were wise to begin the new
with clear hands and squared up ac-
count books Let the old year bear its
own burdens, and give the business of
the new fair chance, unencumbercd
bv debts contracted in the old. This
should be the case, especially in the
matter of small debts, which are veX-
alton and constant annoyance to every
business man. They make large per
cent of the little cares and pcrplexities
of life, extracting more from its real en-
joyments, than perhaps any other class
of annoyances. The small bills that
are two often allowed to run unsettled
from month to month, and year to year,
cause more labor to the accountant, and
larger amont of Inconvenience to bust
ness men than the larger transactions
in trade Let every man make this
resolve with his entering on the new
year, to at once look after his small bills
and settle them up, and if he has larger
amounts owing, which he is not able at
once to meet, by getting clear of those
little Fostering imps, the small debts,
he will have all his time and talents
free to devote to bringing his larger
obligations under complete control.
We know that if our patrons, who
constitute largely a class of small debt
ors, would act on these suggestions,
we would have much time to apply to
editorial labors, now consumed in keep
ing those small bills in hand and look
ing out for their collection. We could,
in consequence, issue a better paper,
besides cheapening everything.
Now, friends, in view of these good
results, to be attained by little effort
in paying up, let us begin the year
with firm resolve to pay our debts at
once, and by way of setting the good
example, all who have accounts against
us unsettled, we invite to present them
at once, and we hope that others will
not "think hard " when WE to present
bills for settlement. We believe in prac.
tice as well as preaching. The latter
without the former is akin to faith with.

DUEL NEAR CHESTER, PENNsYLvA-
MIA bloodless duel was fought near
the city of Chester, on the line of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti-
more Railroad, a few days ago. The
principals were two young men, with
wounded dignity and enraged passions
one Phiiadelphian, the other Prince
ton, N. j., sport. The trouble which
led them to engage in the outlawry,
was about beautiful, young, and dash
ing brunette, worth in her own name
close on to quarter of million, with
a papa equally rich and quite indulgent.
They both wanted her, and concluded
to die for her Friends were consult
ed, and murderous letters were
exchanged. A challenge was the re-
suit, and it was agreed to fight it out.
Pistols were chosen as the weapons
Seconds were selected, the spot was
picked on and the time agreed upon
The principals and their hackers were
on hand at the appointed hour The
distance was marked off, the pistols
were loaded and handed to the would
be duelists. The word was given and
bang, bang went the pistols. Again
and again they fired, but they were so
nervous that neither of them received
the fatal shot; not even scratch
The matter was then adjusted. The
lovers fastened to the bosom of the
pretty brunette. She had been appraised
of their doings, and like sensible
young lady gave them both to under
stand that much better and wiser
man than either of them was to be her
liege lord, and that she anticipated that
by Christmas Day she would no longer
be Miss, but Mrs. and bride.

TUE Howr SEwINc MAcIIIN,

The HOWE SEWING MACHINE
Mecssrs. Mckinney & Co., the Balti-
more agents for the celebrated Howe
Sewing Machine, renew their adver-
tisement in the WING this week. We
advise all who want machine, which
they will like better than any other
machine in use, to purchase one of the
Howe manufacture. This machine
makes the lock stitch which will not
rip, and is not liable to the objection
which some of the lock stitch machines
are, of making a seam that draws or
will not stretch. The scam made by
the Howe machine is as elastic as q
chain stitch seam, while it has all the
advantage of not being liable to rip,
and is a much neatcr and prcttier seam
than the unsightly chain stitch.
