Brief Mention—Home-Made and Stolen Send us local news. Politics were trump last week. Corn fields are visited by thieves. Johnstown has a female physician. Bogus five cent pieces are in circulation. Court was rather slimly attended last week. Enthusiastically received—The county tick- One hearty laugh is better than a bucketful of tears. Lewistown is erecting a new Roman Catho lie church. Flourishing—The Grant and Wilson Club in this place. The passenger business WAS good on Broad Top on Sunday. Ap?les are selling in the Carlisle market at four cents a peck. A Grant and Wilson Club has been organi zed at Shade Gap. Next. A pressure of local matter interferes with our usual editorial variety. The crowd that got in at Tatesville, on Sun day, knew all about whisky. Young America are jubilant over the pros pective circus and menagerie. There were about two thousand persons at Bloody Run camp, on Sunday. D. S. Elliott, Esq., of the Bedford County Press, knows how to run a hotel. A feline exhibition came off in front of the postoffice on Sunday morning. 'Scat ! Our junior imp of darkness has one of Job's comforters in the region of his coat tails. Plums are selling at sixteen cents a quart. We want to buy some, but not at that price. Beware of the young lady who calls you by your christian name the first time she meets you. Room could have been made for one more passenger on the camp-meeting train on Sun day. We are indebted to our young friend, G. Taylor Simonton, for a batch of Western pa pers. The boys who run the Temperance machine, on last Thursday, after the nomination, looked a little White. The J. V. C. M. A. closed their camp on last Friday morning. The success was much bet ter than expected. - On a high—Shrom, the other day, when finishing the apex of the tower of the new Presbyterian church. Two are company and three are a crowd— for further particulars ask at the store oppo site Broad Top Corner. It is predicted that the sewer on Fifth street will be completed by the first fall of snow, but we can hardly believe it. Some of the delegates to the Temperance Convention were verymuch dis-Guss-ted with the manner of procedure. The potato bugs, the vilest buggers known hereaways, have played sad havoc with the potato tops here and there. The young lady who did so much scratch ing, at "bush meeting," on Sunday evening, must have "Scotch fiddle." The "bush meeting" of our colored friends, in McCahan's woods, on Sanday last, was well attended, and the order good. The party who said the Temperance Con vention did not consist of over a Bakers' doz en was not far from the truth. Saxton's artist has a very delicate sense of smell. It is a big undertaking, however, to supply a whole car with cologne. The person who never sees the point of a joke until itis driven through his obtuseness with a sledge has been heard from. Our young friend, A. P. W. Johnston, Esq., has hang out his shingle, and is ready to ac commodate all who need his services. Messrs. Biggins, Flenner & Co. are building a new steam saw mill at Broad Top City. It will add very much to those "Diggins." Beauties often die old maids. They set such a value on themselves that they don't find a purchaser before the market closes. The Labor Reformers hold forth this week, After this—nothing comes save Liberal Re publicans, and they amount to about that. If there had been a few more Conventions last week the necessity for a new Town Hall would have been more fully demonstrated. Nick Isenberg told the Democratic Conven tion some exhilarating things. He thought, with Greeley, they "had a good thing of it." New subscribers are still rolling in, and we ain't "forcing" the Jouraner. either. Two dol lars per annum, or fifty cents for the campaign. The Democratic editors have not got done eating their "crow" of several weeks ago.— North Carolina, to them, is a very black bird. Honey failed to come in as rapidly as we expected last week. Our receipts were not enough to run our establishment during Court. Pay up I Mr. Benjamin Sprankle, of Spruce Creek, this season, raised fifty bushels of Early Rose potatoes from one bushel of seed. Who can beat it ? The new postal cards will be three inches wide and five and one fourth long, the stamp and lines to be engraved on them in a variety of colors, E. F. Keever, Esq., General Freight Agent for the Broad Top Railroad, is at his post again, looking much improved. We welcome him back. All the comfort, which our interesting young friend, McNeil, received from the Temperance Convention is to be found in "Greenland's icy mountains." Dr. Goss, after all his sacrifices of time and money, was ignored, on last Thursday, by the boys who ran the Temperance machine. What ingratitude One of the members of the Democratic Con vention said that the Court House was a dis grace to Huntingdon county. That delegate's head is level. The young ladies who gabbled in front of us, at camp, on Sunday, during the entire ser vice, must have thought that we appreciated kitchen affairs. The Chairman of the Republican County Committee bas established his headquarters in the Grant and Wilson Club Room, opposite the JOURNAL Office. With so many Bakers on hand it is a little surprising that the Temperance Convention should have declared Dr. Guss' legislative cake (aspirations) all dough. One of the people's Colleges, on the train South, on Sunday, was the observed of all ob servers. how sweet the pair were! They were a pleasant sight to the widowers. Why cannot railroad conpanies attach par lor cars to all trains? Passengers should have first-class accommodatiOns, at all times, if they are willing to pay for them. Isenberg told the Democratic Convention that he could not, in fifteen minutes, tell all lie knew about Greeley. Greeley might tell, in a less time, all he knows about Isenberg. When Supervisor. Preston goes out now he always has company. The bachelor has taken unto himself a helpmeet. Well done thou good and faithful servant. Clear the track for the special train It was interesting, and sometimes not a lit tle amusing, to see the "cut and dry" resolu tions pop out of the pockets of the delegates to the Democratic Convention, where they had been Preen-ited away. Col. McFarland, the philanthropic editor of the Vindicator. was in town, on last Thursday, looking after the interests of the Temperance cause. He is the most unselfish philanthro pist (?) of the nineteenth century "We have thrown more offices over our shoulder,"—Lewis. Well, there's richness for you. Dad Lewis "throwing offices covet his shoulder"! He don't exert his muscle much in getting them over. Not much I Oh, how sad-looking and long were the vis ages of the nominationists who failed to se cure Temperance nominations! They reminded us of the inexpressively long_ countenance of a venerable old mule, looking out of a canal boat, down at the wharf, the other day. The enthusiasm was all knocked out of them. NEWS OP THE NEIGHBORHOOD.— Altoona policemen are again up to their ears in business. The work on the Bloomfield railroad is being pushed rapidly forward by Col. Leinon. The members ofthe Church of God, at 'roar ing Spring, proposn to erect a house of wor ship immediately. The fruit trees in many sections of the coun ty require proping up to prevent the limbs from breaking down. Two hardened villains recently stole the bible from the McConnellsburg Presbyterian Church and sold it for whiskey. The Blair county Democrats will hold their County Conventicin, in the Court House, in Hollidaysburg, on Tuesday, September 3d, 1872 at 11 o'clock A. 11. Mr. James Mclntyre, of Newry, is the happy father of three babies, two girls and a boy, which were presented to him by his better half, a couple of weeks ago. A young lady named Kate Markle, residing near Bellefonte, fell from a swing on Tuesday evening oflast week and broke both her legs.— The Watchman says her recovery is doubtful. The steam saw mill of A. A. Barker lc Son, three miles from Ebensburg, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning of last week. Loss $O,OOO. Insured for $2,000 in the Andes, of Cincinnati. George Lockard, of Martinsburg, recently attempted to scare a dog with a loaded pistol. The pistolwas accidently discharged. George is now suffering from a painful wound between his thumb and fore-finger. Some boys attempted to fire two buildings on the new school lotat Lewistown, on Thurs day evening, one of which had just been vaca ted. The other was still tenanted by young Leper, who discovered the fire and put it out. One night last week some thief made away with a horse of Mr. G. D. Trout, living at Spring Mills, Bedford county. We understand that Mr. T. has offered a reward of $l5O for the arrest of the thief and recovery of the horse. Last Friday afternoon, as Jacob Lemon was leading his horse out of the stable of the Cen tral Hotel, in Patterson, the horse took a vi cious spell, reared on his master, struck him to the floor, hurting him severely in his face and on his body. A little two-year old child of Alexander Agnew, of Bedford, was badly scalded on Fri day last, by falling backward into a kettle of hot water. Though seriously scalded, the child is now in a fair way for recoverywithout suffering any permanent injury. The limits of the borough of Bedford, were never extended (except to take in the Union School building and ground) from the time it was first laid out in June 176 G until last April, a period of almost 106 years. It is about time the old town should begin to spread herself. We regret to note that the steam saw mill owned by Gen. B. F. Bell, and situated at Bell's Mills, Blair county, was totally consum ed by fire about five o'clock on Thursday morning last. It is supposed that the fire was the work of incendiaries. The loss amounts to $3,500 on which there is noinsurance. Tho General has commenced the erection of a new mill. A large number of ladies and gentleman assembled in the dining room of the National House, at Lewistown, Pa., on Saturday even ing last to witness the presentation of a box of beautiful drafting instruments to Mr. W. H. Brown, late Superintendent, and a gold chain to Mr. C. L. Bretz, Train Master, on the partof the employes and business men along the line of the Lewistown Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AND MlR ecuLous ESCAPE.—On the 6th inst., as the fu neral procession was conveying Daniel Turner from his late residence, in Hare's Valley, to his last resting place, in Trough Creek Valley, Hon. Judge Clarkson (who for thirty years or more has been undertaker in this neighbor hood, and who has doubtless traveled many thousand miles with his hearse without acci dent) was driving in front of the procession, about a half mile from the residence of the deceased. While crossing a high braker inthe road one of the traces of the harness broke, which frightened his horse, and with one bound brought the Judge right on his feet in the rear of the horse, inside the shaves—the horse pulling by the holding-back strap. His con stant rearing and leaping immediately brought the Judge full length on the ground, and hav ing a tight hold of the lines he held on until dragged a considerable distarde, when his hold gave way, and the hearse passed over him.— The horse, still speeding on at a rapid rate, brought the hearse against a tree, breaking a wheel and the coupling, leaving the hind-car riage and corpse on its side, and strange to say the coffin was scarcely moved from its fastening, while its occupant, always upright and honorable in all his doings, and who has left to his friends the odor of an unblemished character, remained unmoved and undisturbed as when kind friends first placed him is ilia winding sheet. The people in procession were much alarmed and ran at once to the assis tance of the Judge, expecting to find him dead. He, however, gathered himself up, nearly mi nus coat and pants, with watch trailing by the chain. The Judge was considerably bruised and sprained, but not seriously. The coffin was placed in a spring-wagon, and the Judge, receiving his horse, rode home, procured a change of clothing, bitched to his carriage and went on and attended the funeral, and is still improving from his injuries. THE GRAND CENTRAL PARK MENAGE RIE AND Caucus.—Our readers will see by an advertisement in another column that thi first class, and extensive combination of ani. mal display and arenic exhibition, will visit Huntingdon, and give two entertainments or WEDNESDAY TEE 28th inst. There can be no doubt as to the general excellence of this mam moth show, for it visits our town endorsed in the most eloquent possible maner as an ex hibition worthy of patronage, and faithfnly fulfilling all the promises of its advertisements and pictorial posters. The grand street procession will be given about 9 o'clock on the morning of the exhibi tion. The Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad will run special excursion trains for the ac commodation of all who reside on the line of their road, to enable parties to visit either the afternoon or evening entertainment. Re member, Wednesday, August 28th., is the day and dale. The Pittsburgh journals teem with flattering encomiumns of this combination. We have only space to quote an article from a couple of them. The Dispatch says : The first two exhibitions of the Mammoth Cen tral Park Menagerie and Circus in this locality were given at Union Park, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon and evening, and both were attended by thousands of our citizens. The show beyond ques tion is one of the best that has been in this city for years. The menagerie is much better than any we have ever seen, but a great objection, and one we think of much more disadvan'nge to the man agement than to the patrons, is the crowded condi tion of the animals, not that they are over crowd ed, but by separating them a much 'larger display might be made than is made, or than many others make who promise more. Every animal advertis ed on the bills will be found on exhibition, but in many instances there are two and three in one cage. The bird show comprises one of the finest collections of rare specimens of the feathered tribe ever exhibited in this country. Parents should not fail to take their children to see this finii col leetion of living animals and birds as they will learn more natural history in an hour or two at this exhibition than they would auquireby years of reading. The arena exhibition is really grand and in some respects, unequalled by auy other show in the country, as it comprises some of the best talent in the world. Mademoiselle Cordelia, the bareback equestrian, is one of the most fearless and daring riders we have ever seen, not even excepting James Robinson or any other. She is young, handsome, dashing and brilliant and performs all her feats of equestrianism with an ease and grace that chal lenge competition. Miss Minnie Perry is another brilliant star in the equestrian horizon, who rides with a dash and spirit seldom witnessed. Mr. E. W. Perry in his four horse and Master Willie 0. Dale in his bareback act are unapproachable in their respective lio•,, of business. The Snow brothers, William, Den and Dan, acrobats and gymnasts, arc the beet ever seen with a traveling company. These are only a few of the distinctive features of this mammoth exhibition, which should be seen by all our readers to be fully appreciated. The universal verdict of those who attended yes terday and last night was that it was the best show they had ever seen. The Leader says : The exhibition given by the Central Park Me nagerie and Circus at the Union Park, Allegheny city, yesterday, attracted thousands of visitors, the evening entertainment especially having an audi ence the mamonth circus tent seated comfortably, but it required judicious ushering to accomplish this. We have no hesitation in declaring this exhibition to be the beet of the kind that has visited this place for manyyears, better than Forpaugh's, for the arena performance excels that of the foremetionod showman by odds, and the collection of animals is more rare and better preserved. Though a less costly concern than Barnum's a visit affords one more pleasure, for that which is exhibited is pleas ant to look upon, Inasmuch as it is now and novel. It is a show shorn of the weighty rubbish that ac companies circuses like Forepangh's and:Barnum's for the purpose of making a big display at little cost, to the sacrifice of the spectators patience and humor. The arena performance i of the combina tion now exhibiting n the city has all originality of Lent's circus, all the tidinesk of that old es tablishment, and on a par with it in novelties and the finish of its entertainment. The menagerie is unquestionably the best ever brought here. The animals of rare species are bright in eye, fine in form, healthy and vigorous. This exhibition no one would regret the time and expense in visiting, as it is one of the few folks leave with feelings of satisfaction. Reported by R,lrDivitt, Esq.] COURT PROCEEDINGS—QUARTER SES HONS.—Commonwealth vs. Isaac Edwards and El len Edwards. Indictment, keeping a disorderly house. The parties in this prosecution are not unknown to the Sessions Record. Isaac Edwards, one of the de fendants, is a representative of the Anglo Saxon race, and with his wife, Ellen—a lady of African extraction—occupied a shanty in the northwestern part of this town. The offence alleged in the in dictment was upon information of some of their neighbors, that their slumbers had at sundry times been broken in upon by serious, and oft repeated broils, or revels, carried on in the aforesaid dwell ing, participated in by various individuals, of dif ferent races, Colors and nationalities, mingled with certain opprobrious and rather uncomplimentary epithets passing between Isaac and his wife, indi eating that the conjugal relations between them were not of the most amiable character. The de fense consisted in the testimony of Isaac himself, who stated that the trouble complained of, had originated in an attempt made by him to protect the honor of his family and the reputation of his house, by ejecting from his premises an intruder, whose basilisk touch and insidious advancements, accompanied by the persuasive arguments of a bottle of whisky, had made fearful encroachments upon the virtue and fidelity of his wife Ellen, and proved highly destructive to his domestic happi ness. The Jury failed however, to see the situa tion in the same light, and accordingly a verdict of guilty was rendered. Blair for defendants. Sentence. Both to go to jail ten days, and pay a fine of $1 each and costs of prosecution. Com. vs. George IL Lang. Indictment, selling liquor without license. The defendant in this case failed to appear and forfeited his recognizance but was afterwards brought into Court on a Bench warrant, and placed on trial. Verdict guilty in manner and form as indicted. MattOrn and Baily for defendant. Com.. re. Harmon Yocum. The defendant in this notion was brought into Court on surety of the peace, on oath of Az}drew Johnston, for shooting a dog, making threats, Ac. The parties were sentenced to pay, each one-half the costs, and stand bound by their own recogni zance to keep the peace, one toward the other. Lytle for prosecution. Petrikin for defendant. Com. rs. Daniel Montgomery. Indictment, as sault and battery. Defendant plead guilty and submitted. Sen tenced to pay a fine of 55 and costs of prosecution. Com. vs. Joseph Woods and Wm. Mutersbaugh. Assault and battery on •oath of Samuel Huff, who charged the defendants with coming to his house, driving cattle into his premises,abusing his wife, and other mischievous and wicked acts. Ver dict not guilty, and the prosecutor, and Woods , one of the defendants, to pay eaeh one-half the costs. Speer and Lytle for the Commonwealth.— Petriken for defendants. Com. vs. henry Snyder. The defendant in this case was arraigned before a jury of his peers, for attempting to open a store at Mill Creek, which ordinarily is considered a le gitimate branch of business. The difficulty, how ever, arose from the fact that he had inadvertently used a tile, chisel, and other implements, in open ing it, which was still further aggravated by the fact that the store happened to belong to another person, a difficulty which it seems the jury were unable to reconcile, and accordingly a verdict was rendered of guilty of burglarious entrance. Sentenced to oneyear imprirnment in tho West ern Penitentiary, and pay a fine of $t and costs. Com. sc. John E. Davis. Indictment, fornica tion and bastardy. The only importance attached to this case con sisted in the fact that it was the first one tried in this Court under the present law allowing parties, on trial for certain misdemeanors, to testify in their own behalf. The result was a verdict against the defendant, followed by the usual order. Lytle for prosecution. Speer for defendant. Com. roe. Win. F. Brooks. Indictment, fornica tion and bastardy. Defendant plead guilty and submitted. Sen tenced to pay Elizabeth Winton $3O lying in ex penses, $1 per week for seven years, from April 6, 1872, $5 fine and costs, and surety in $5OO, and stands committed. The ease of Susan Dunlap, charged with the murder of her mother-in-law, at Mapleton, by poi soning, was continued for the present, no analyza tion having been made of the stomach of deceased• Coma, court, next week, next week Folks attending court should avail themselves of the opportunity of examining the large stock of goods at Henry & Co's. consisting in Salt, Iron, Nails, Dry-Goods, Groceries, Hats, Boots, Shoes, Coal and Lumber, &c., &c.

Contestants appeared from the following districts Carbon, Juniata and Sbirleysburg borough. Dr. M'Pherran, of Alexandria, immediately upon the completion of Roll call moved that a committee of three be appointed on contested seats. This resolution was severely resisted on the ground that it was a departure from well established precedents, but on a final vote it was adopted. The Chair appointed Dr. James M. M'Pher ran, of Alexandria, Alex. Elliott, of Hunting don and David Grove, of Henderson, said committee. The Convention then took a recess of ten minutes. - At the expiration of the recess the Commit tee on Contested Seats reported in favor of the delegates named in the above list, and, on motion, the report was adopted. An effort was then made to proceed to the election of a Permanent Chairman, but a motion to adjourn to half-past one o'clock was adopted. Adjourned.

Robt. 11'Divitt, Esq., moved that Dr. John If'Cullough, of Huntingdon, be declared the choice of Huntingdon county, for Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, with power to appoint his own Conferees. S. T. Brown, Esq., moved to strike out the name of John Dl'Cullough, and insert in lien thereof, that of K. Allen Lovell, Esq. Mr. Lovell thanked the Convention for nam ingim in this connection, stating, however, that he was not a candidate, and therefore withdrew his name, and cordially seconded the motion of the gentleman from Oneida, in a pointed and happy speech. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. Lovell nominated Mr. Albert Tyhurat for Chairman of the County Committee, in a telling little speech, and he was appointed to fill that position by acclamation. On motion, each delegate was permitted to name one member of the County Committee for his own district. On motion, the thanks of the Convention were tendered to the officers of the Conven- Oa motion, adjourned sine die. PROHIBITION COUNTY CONVENTION.— Agreeable to a call, numerously signed, a few delegates, numbering perhaps fifteen, met in the Grand Jury room, of the Court House, on Thursday, the 15th instant, at 1.80 o'clock, and were called to order by Dr. Isaac Guss, the Chairman of the Prohibition County Com mittee. Prayer was offered to the Throne of Grace by the Rev. J. W. Plannett. The Chair man read the call as follows : iIIINTIN.ON, PA., June 20, 1872. The evils resulting from the liquor traffic are palpable to all, and of ouch a character as to se riously threaten the permanency of our statute books to-day, are those laws which, by the grant ing of license, virtually sanction the sale and use of that poison, which infatuates and degrades its victims, rendering them incapable of exercising the right function-. f American citizens. And as our county as well as State and National govern ment is a government "of the people, by the peo ple and for the people ," and as that government is greatly impaired in its efficacy by the existence of the liquor traffic—a traffic that is ever increas ing the pauperism and crime of our country—a traffic which is a crime in the sight of God, and should be so recognized by man—it becomes a fit subject for legislation, demanding absolute prohi bition as the only effectual remedy. While Local Option, if fairly tested, may result in mach good, and should be favorably recognized by all, yet we have but little assurance that its constitutionality will be maintained, or that it will even be sanction ed by the next legislature, much less enforasti by the dominant party; after being carried by a vote of the people. It is at best, but a partial remedy, and is believed to be utterly inadequate to meet the demand of the age fora temperancepeople. Well satisfied that existing parties who refuse to make the question an issue will not give the need ed relief, the friends of prohibition see no other course open bat to organize and vote only for such ,p44brisrsr - vrt” mrpperre these -principleson til every position of trust in the gift of the people shall be . . filled by officers pledgedto the total 'suppression of the dram shop by law. Being firmly Lae,. these convictions, and re lying upon Almighty God for aid in our under taking, we hereby earnestly invite all citizens of Huntingdon county favorable to these views to meet in mass convention at the court house in BuNriNono,r, DO Tnuasney, AUCIUST 15th, 1872, at one o'clock, p.m., for the purpose of nomina, tinrcandidates to be voted for at the ensuing election and of providing for a vigorous canvass of the county in favor of local as well as general prohibition. By order of the County Committee. ISAAC Gcss, J. R. B iKER, } Sub. Com. A. C. GREENLAND, On motion of John W. Scott,.Mr. Wm. Baker was chosen temporary Secrdtary. The roll was called and about the number above stated answered to their names. J. R. Baker moved that a committee of five be appointed, by the Chairman, oil Platform and Candidates, which was adopted without discussion. The Chair appointed J. R. Baker, A. C. Greenland, E. P M9iitriek, E. M. Giles and Rev. J. W. Plannett. The Chair stated that suggestions, for the various offices to be filled, would be received. On motion, all resolutions were directed to be referred to the Committee on Platform and Nominations without debate. At this stage of the proceedings considerable disgust began to manifest itself at the manner of doing bus iness and the more influential began to de nounce the Convention as a set up job. On motion, Mr. Fleming called upon all present and asked them to sign a pledge to support the movement. Mr. Lindsey, J. R. Baker, Greenland, Plan nett, Miller and others, pro and con, criticised and defended the movement. Mr. John Miller denounced the head and front of the concern with great severity, charging it mith sinister motives, and called for the election of a permanent Chairman. The Convention then received the following suggestions for the offices for which nomina tions were to be made. 43 votes. 39 For Legislature, J. K. Baker nominated J. J. White, of Mapleton ; E. M. Giles, Dr. Isaac Gess, of Cassville ; and J. J. White, W. B. Baker, of Orbisonia. For Prothonotary, Dr. Isaac Guss nominated A. C. Greenland, of Cassville. Rev. Mr. Plannett here stated that he was opposed to nominating a county ticket; that it was inexpedient and injudicious at this time, and that holding these views he would be obliged to withdraw from the committee upon which he had been placed. J. K. Baker in a peculiar voice, attempted to reply to Mr. Plannott. Mr. Miller denounced the manner of pro cedure, the movement and demanded the election of a permanent Chairman. On motion of J. R. Baker, the Convention, which had now become a mere farce, proceed_ ed to the election of a permanent Chairman. Messrs. Guss, Swoop° and Giles were placed in nomination. Guss received thirteen votes, and each of the others received one. On motion, J. R. Baker was made perma nent Secretary. On motion of J. R. Baker, the business transacted up to this point was ratified. Here Col. M'Earland, of Harrisburg, asked permission to say a few words, which was granted. In the course of his remarks he re flected upon those who could not sanction the movement, attributing to them the wiles of politicians. Mr. Plannctt hurled back indig nantly and properly the imputation which had been made, and asserted his honesty of pur pose. Sheriff Neeley went off at a tangent. M'Farland disclaimed, and the matter dropped. Considerable feeling was manifested that no action was taken on the Congressional question and charges bandied about that the whole thing was a set up job by Mr. Speer ; the expression becoming rather strong, a mo tion was made authorizing the Chair, of course, to appoint three Congressional Conferees. The Chair appointed, A. C. Greenland, J. J. White and Wm. Baker. Suggestions for n6minations were received. For Register and Recorder, F. D. Stevens and Wm. Lightner, of West : for District At torney, P. M. Lytle, of Huntingdon ; for Com missioner, James 31. Norris, of Cass and John Whitney, of Tod ; Director of the Poor, Geo. W. Cornelius, of Orbisonia and E. 11. Giles, of Petersburg; for Auditor, R. S. Henderson. of Mapleton and Isaac Taylor, of Tod. While these suggestions were being receiv ed, some one named Col. J. Hall Musser, for District Attorney, who rose to his feet instant ly and denounced the glaring inconsistency of the who were running the machine, stating that the nomination of a ticket was uncalled for, that the Republicans had nomi nated a Temperance ticket from Congressman to Auditor, that no other ticket was in the field and that in case this Convention nomina ted a ticket it was for the purpose of taking away votes from temperance men, to elect some whiskey-loving Deniocrat, and that the whole thing was tho unsuspecting cat's-paw of the whiskey ring. This was the deliberate udgment of everybody, save the few who wanted to be tickled with empty nominations. The Committee on Platform and Candidates made its appearance and presented the fol lowing report : Resolved, That we fully re-affirm the platform adopted by the National Prohibition Party which met in Columbus, Ohio, February 22, 1872, and will support the candidates of said party. Resolved, That we endorse the Platform laid down by the State Prohibition Convention meet ing in Altoona, Pa., June 14, 1872, and will give our votes for the State Prohibition nominees. Resolved, That wo hold Prohibition to be the only line issue of the day and on that calls for hearty support of all temperance men. The following were the nominations re ported : Legislature, W. R. Baker, Orbisonia ; Pro- thonotary, A. C. Greenland, Cassville ; Regis ter and Recorder, T. D. Stevens, Mt. Union; County Commissioner, John Whitney ; Direc tor of the Poor, Geo. W. Cornelius; Auditor, R. S. Henderson, Mapleton. Prof. Atkinson, of Huntingdon, moved to jay the report of the committe on the table. Yeas and nays were demandsd which resulted yeas, 4; nays, 9; so it was negatived. On motion, the report was adopted. J. J. White read the following pledge and resolution. "I hereby accept the nomination of the Pro hibitionists of Huntingdon county, and by so doing pledge my earnest efforts to secure the entire suppression of the dram shop by legal enactment efficiently executed." Reeared, That if candidates to-day nomin,ated shall be found unwilling to subscribe to the above, their places Pball be supplied by an executive committee of five to be appointedby the Chair, said emmittee to have full power to conduct the cam paign, appoint meetings, employ speakers, raise money, provide tickets, &o. The resolution was adopted. The committee to make arrangements with the publishers of Huntingdon county for the use of space in their newspapers reported no success. The JOURNAL alone offering any terms—to the effect that it would publish weekly, free of charge, any general temperance matter, not personal or political, furnished not exceeding one column, but charge adver tising rates for all other matter. Mr. Giles proposed that they would take all their printing from the county papers, stating that they had no right to support papers that wouldnotsupport them; of course he meant, in their foolhardy effort to run a ticket against as good temperance men as they dare be. [The editors of the Huntingdon papers are all temperance men and conduct their papers in the interest of the temperance cause, and because they will not give aid and counte nance to the folly of a dozen impractical tem perance men they are to be proseribed.—En.] The labors of the farcical affair having been performed—truly never in our experience did we see any deliberate (?) body half so ridicu lous—it adjourned. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.— The Democratic County Convention assem bled, in Yenter's Hall, in this place, on Wed nesday, the 14th inst., at 1 o'clock, and was called to order by the Chairman of the Dem ocratic County Committee. Messrs. J. C. Seekler, of Mt. Union and J. D. Caldwell, of Shade Gap, were chosen Sec retaries. The Chair announced the selection of a Permanent Chairman as the first business in order. The following gentlemen were placed in nomination with the following result: Dr. Wm. B. M'Knight, Shirleysburg, 37 votes. Nicholas Isenburg, Alexandria, 35 votes. Dr. KKnight, on taking the Chair, thanked, briefly, the Convention for the honor confer• red upon him and said the Convention was ready for business. J. M. Stoneroad moved that in case of the absence of a delegate his colleague should cast the vote unrepresented, which was adopt ed. Mr. Stewart moved that the course of the Hon. It. Milton Speer be approved by the Con wntion, and declaring him to be the choice of Huntingdon county for re-election, and giving him power to select his own Conferees, which was carried. On motion of Mr. Stewart, the following Committee was appointed on resolutions: J. M. Stewart, James Smith, Dr. Thompson, and Nicholas Isenberg. On motion, John M. Bailey, Esq. was declar ed to be the choice of Huntingdon county for Delegate to the Constitutional Convention with authority to select his own Conferees. -Mr. Stoneroad read the following resolu tion : Resolved, That this Convention deems it inex pedient to make a nomination at this time, and that when this Convention adjourns, it adjourn to meet at the call of tho Chairman of tho Cuunty Committee. • Mr. Isenberg moved that all be stricken out after the word 'adjourn" and that "sihe die" be inserted in lien thereof, which was agreed to and the resolution as amended adopted. The election of a Chairman of the County Committee was declared to be next in order. The friends of the Monitor placed J. Simpson Africa Esq., in nomination and the friends of the Globe, Ashman Miller, Esq. A letter was read from Mr. Africa declining, but members al leged that they had talked to Mr. Africa on the subject and that he had subsequently agreed to serve provided he was elected. The fight was bitter. The vote resulted as follows which was a victory for the Monitor: J. Simpson Africa 42 Ashman Miller. The Committee on resolutions reported and their report was adopted, but we were not furnished with a copy of it and cannot therefore present the resolutions to our readers. The thanks of the Convention were tender ed to the officers. And on motion, the Convention adjourned. AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—The Agri cultural Society met in the Court House on Wednesday evening last. D. W. Womelsdorf, Esq., chairman of the committee on premiums, presented a list which was read and adopted as the list to be used at the coming Agricultural Fair, to commence on the Ist of October next. A resolution was offered and adopted, dis pensing with the use of complimentary tickets, at the coming Fair. J.E. Smucker, Esq., Capt B. X. Blair, Theo. IL Cramer, Esq., and R. McDivitt Esq., were appointed a committee to superintend the printing, and solicit subscriptions from the citizens, for the coming exhibition. W. F. Cunningham was appointed a delegate to the coming annual meeting of the Agricul tural College ; and John S. Miller, T. P. Love, and J. A. Pollock were appointed alternates.

EDITOR :—Dear Sir:—Being a subscri ber and a constant reader of the Jornsez, whose locals and items abound with news from the many towns and villages of our county, save the ancient borough of Cassville, whose whereabouts the Editor knows not of, for he • has never graced its streets with his presence —a description of which he has never read; and if he had how faint and imperfect a view he must have of it ; how little you know of a landscape, a waterfall, a picture, by any de scription that can be given. Especially.must this be so of objects which have no resem blance to anything that we have seen. Who ever obtained any idea of Niagara by a descrip tion? Who, save to the most polished Greek and Roman mind, could have conveyed by mere description any idea of the Coliseum?— Nevertheless I'll fain a description. Cassville is a quiet country village, embo corned among the blue hills of Central Penn sylvania, numbering about two hundred in habitants. Its situation is a romantic and beautiful one, being under the shadow of Shirley's Knob, and near Sideling Hill, in a fertile and undulating valley. Its dusky exte rior would indicate that it has not been sacred from Old Time's arrows. It was formerly called "Chilcoate Town," and is distant about fourteen miles from Mill Creek Station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The drive to undfrom Cassville is one of the most delightful in the State, presenting scenery of the sublimest as pect—the grand old mountains around whose distant peaks the pale smoke wreaths and curls like banners. The beautiful valley, with its fields of green corn lazily bending before the soft south wind—its grassy meadows, afford ing a'rich pasture—the "blue Juniata," which, in the morning sunlight shines in its mountain path like a sheen of silver, and whose limpid waters always remind me of the story of An ethma, hurrying from the embraces of the water-god to blithe Cecilia,—all go to make up a round of observation from which the lover of nature may drink to his spirit's core. A two-horse coach, (magnificently wrought and new—proprietor courteous and kind)pass es over this route for the accommodation of travellers tri-weekly, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Ye lovers of the romantic, you could not do better in sight-seeing than to take a mountain trip to the village of Cassville; for certainly, that mythical personage who pil grimages up and down the earth, scattering the germs of cities and towns from his golden horn, did not make a mistake in selecting a romantic spot when he planted the seeds of this quiet village. Although it is one of an tique mold, yet, it has many redeeming quali ties ; for in it three beautiful churches lift their spiral hands to Heaven. A number of workshops give forth the hum of industry,— the coal fields of Broad Top are distant but a few miles—four schools adorn the village, one private taught by Miss Hutson,—the "Cassville Select School," numbering from thirty to thirty-five pupils, some six or eight preparing to teach, is taught by Prof. Giffin, an efficient and accomplished teacher—the one known as "Tadmer" numbers fifty-one pupils, fourteen expecting to teach the coming winter, is pre sided over by your humble correspondent, of whom reports say (here) has a key for every thing he teaches. Wonder if he has You will perceive that our village is not be hind our neighbors in matters of education.— The examination of teachers this season is of special significance. Especially so considered by our teachers. They feel that they have bid farewell to their late Superintendent by whose learning, untiring labors, and wise counsels, they have so long been guided, and at the same time admits to their councils a man as Superintendent who promises them such active co-operation. The schools of our county, nn der Prof. McNeal, begin a new career, and we trust it will be with new courses greatly strengthened and enlarged, that our schools of learning may keep pace with the expanding demands of the age. • It is well for the great State of Pennsylvania that, in spite of this busy life of ours, filled as it is with the noise of trade, the love of gain, and the wearing cares of professional duty, so many thousands of her citizens are interested in the Common Schools. And the most cheer ful sign of the times is the liberality with which the men who, themselves denied the advantages of any education, contribute of the profits of their own exertions, and of their in fluence to insure to their children the training which their own deprivation has led them to appreciate. So long as this continues, so long as the storehouse does not shut from view the Common Schools of the State, the culture and advancement of the present or coming genera tion may be considered insured. But the chief pride of our village is the Home of the Soldiers' Orphans. This Home is surrounded by a stone wall, surmounted in front by a neat pale fence. A number of for est trees of different varieties have been left standing, to which five hundred dollars worth of ornamental trees and shrnbbr ry have been added. Beds of flowers, for each week in the season, meet you at every turn. Extensive arbors, through whose lattice-work the grapes hang in clusters, nod you to seats of ease.— Vases and statuary are seen on every hand. Three fountains of beautiful design are con stantly playing, one of which sheds its dia mond tears staid banks of flowers, in a spark ling basin in which sport the speckled -trout, with their cousins from many another tribe.— The water is conducted, in iron pipes, from a spring on the hillside. A beautiful spring is also found in the yard, whose water, through out the season, flows clear and cold. It is by this spring. and under the pines, that the "wards of the State," when tired by the labors of the school-room, come to soothe the mind. The Home to-day is tinged with something very like sadness, for the children, whom the past year has taught to kaow and love each other, are all at home, to tell to admiring mothers and friends the lessons they have re ceived, and some, perhaps, to take their first step into the outside world. The gradual scattering of these children throughout the State cannot but excite a practical interest in their behalf, for they cannot but build up an interest in their fellow citizens which will de velope itself in more judicious elections—is a more judicious legislation for the highest education. ' We also have an organizedbrass band in our village ; consisting of sixteen members, instru ments costing three hundred and nine dollars. Commencing to practice on the 19th of June they are now able to play two tunes efficiently, while snatches of the old songs, which have become so popular, such as Sherman's "March to the Sea," then the "Red, White and Blue," "Lilly Dale," "We are Marching Along," break upon the ear constantly. The band is under the immediate tutorship of Prof. A. Lenk, of Harrisburg, whose accomplishment as a musi cian, as well as plan of imparting instruction to others, is peculiar to himself; and we may justly say that the swelling of sixteen instru ments simultaneously, causing these moun tains to echo to the surrounding hills the mel ody of their notes, is magnificently grand, and gives full attestation to correctness of instruc tion, and speaks the ability of their teacher in a regulated succession of sounds. We have four resident ministers, not one of them for Greeley. Eight resident school teachers ; sixteen attending school ; but none for Greeley. Six school directors; none for Greeley. Two squires ; none for Greeley. Two constables ; none for Greeley. One judge; none for Greeley. We will soon have a Con gressman; he is not for Greeley by a long shot. "What I know about farming" is the theme of conversation among the little mi nority. JASON. REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING. -THE FIRST RALLY OF THE CAMPAIGN.-A large and enthusiastic Republican meeting was held in the Court House, on Tuesday evening, the 13th inst., under the auspices of the Grant and Wilson Club, of this place. Col. John W. Slattern called the meeting to order and mo ved the appointment of the following officers, who were accordingly chosen President, David Musser, of Brady; Vice Presidents, Henry Conpropst, of Barree, and Joseph Parks, of Cassville, John Henderson, of and George Leas, of Shirleysburg ; and Sec • rotaries A. R. M'Carthy, of Dudley, and Theo. H. Cremer, Esq., of Huntingdon. Hon. S. S. Blair, of Hollidaysburg, being in attendance, was called out and made a most effective speech. He showed up the Greeley swindle in its true colors. This speech was listened to with great interest, and frequently applauded. At the conclusion of Mr. Blair's remarks, Hon. John Scott was enthusiastically called for and came forward and made a most thrilling speech showing up the Reformers in their naked ugliness. The Republicans of Hun tingdon county are alive and if we con judge from the signs of the times they will do better for . the whole Republican ticket, at the ap proaching, elections than they have done for years. The fires are beginning to burn bright ly. Keep them up, friends, organize every- where ! Organize I Organize!

The Castoria prepared by Dr. Pitcher is purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, pleasant to take, and more effective than Castor Oil.

It contains neith er, Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. Its soothing, quieting effect, produces natural sleep, and particularly adapts it to crying children.
