ANOTHER LECTURE.-Thes second OF
a series of temperance lectures, was de-
| liyered in the court house, on last Mon
day evening, by the Rev. FL. Heeker-
man. The evening was miserable, yet
! the house was filled TO its utmost capa-
city. The lecturer did himself and his
subject ample justice, which was high
ly appreciated by the audience as
evinced by their marked attention
throughout.
The Cumberland AHegaaian, in
speaking of the mild weather, in that
section. says:
The retail coal men are out OF sorts
and the ice gatherers are becoming des-

AcoUITTED.-A. toward Crewitt,
tried last week, at Huntingdon. for
the murder of Miles Hampson, in Oc-
tober last, has been acquitted. The
trial lasted for nearly week, and i
said TO have been ore of the most re-
markabIe and exciting ones that ever
took place in that county. The noni-
tor says, Throughout the trial much
feeling was manifested by the friends
of each party, and we will be fortu-
nate indeed if that feeling passes away
without violations of law or business
and social estrangments.'
Will he Do Ir?-Mr. Scull declar-
ed Immediately after the election that
he would not contest if Mr.. Findlay
was admitted to the Senate on
z1riDta facie case. Will he now be as
good as his word? Or has he tied
himself so securely to John Cessna's
coat tail as to be willing to allow him
self to be forced into a seat To which he
knows he has no moral or legal right,
merely to crafty the aspirations OF an
ambitious aud INSCRIPTIONS politician.
We shall see what the honorable gen
tleman will do.
DARING TRICK.-After the reward
was offer i for the arrest of the esca-
ped Jail birds, +" two strangers Of pIau-
sible appearance and conversation, rep
resented to the Sheriff that they were
Baltimore detectives and were after
"olr boys" They were supplied
with a horse each by the Sheriff in his
anxiety as good officer to secure their
arrest, but is now evident that they
were horse thieves and perhaps aiders
of the runaway prisoners, others in the
city having also been swindled by
them Times, Cumberland.
4 Dry PORTABLE VINEGAR.-
Wash we'll halfa pound of white tar
tar with warm water, then dry it and
pulyerize as fine as possible. Soak
that powder with good sharp vinegar,
and dry it before the fire or in the sun.
Re-suak it as before, with vinegar, and
dry as above, repeating this operation
a dozen of times, BY these means you
will have a very good and sharp pow
der, which turns water instantly to
vinegar. 1t is very convenient to car
ry in the pocket, especially when trav-
cling.
NEW PAPER.-The first number Of
the Somerset Standard, +" an eight col
umn paper, edited and published by
II. NJ. & w. NJ SchrOck, has been is
sued. The initial number IS a fine
specimen of typographical beauty, and
evinces more than ordinary editorial a.
bility. 1t IS certainly the neatest pa
per published at Somerset. and if we
may Judge from the copy before u,
will enrich a department in which the
journals of that place have heretofore
been sadly deficient, namely, interest
ing local intelligence. We feel as
sured that the MeSsrs. Schrock will
print a spicy paper. We welcome
them to the editorial fraternity, wish
them unlimited success in everything.

same as in days agone, when, 'you
