The Huntingdon Journal, Wednesday Morning, Jan, 7, 1874 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE LOCAL AND PERSONAL. To OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS, Gaisirriso :—We return thanks to our numer. ous friends and patrons for their generous and liberal support during the past year, and hope to merit a continuance of the same in the future. In this, our annual greeting, we beg leave to state to eur friends that after due deliber ation we have concluded that on and after .TANITAFtY 10th, 1874, we will adopt the liar CASH SYSTE3I - at We have arrived at the conclusion, through motives of economy, both to ourselves and patrons. NO BOOKS, NO LOSSES, and a con seq vent reduction in prices. "ECON OMY IS WEALTH," and we will prove by the cash system that it is benificial to both seller and buyer. We have successfully with. stood the rigors of the late panic, although many others doing a large credit business have not been so fortunate, as poor TRUST KILLED THEM. The highest cash prices will always be paid for grain and produce of all kinds or taken in exchange for goods at cash prices. We will always keep on hand a complete assortment of goods for the HOUSE, SHOP AND FARM, and will sell them at prices far below those who do a credit business can afford to do, again thanking the public generally for a very liberal support in the past, we hope to merit a larger than in the future. With this brief explanation of our purpose during the year, we bow ourselves out and proceed to busi ness. HENRY & CO. January 7, 1874 THREE PARAGRAPHS OF GOLD.—A good advertisement in a widely circulated newspaper is the best of all possible salesmen. It is a salesman who never sleeps, and is never weary; who goes after business early and late ; who accosts the merchant in his shop, the scholar in b.s study, the lawyer in his office, the lady at her tea table ; who can be at a thousand places at once, and speak to a million people every day, saying to each one the best thing in the best manner. A good advertisement in a newspaper pays no fares on railroads; costs nothing for hotel bills ; gives away no boxes of cigars to cus tomers, or merino dresses to customers' wives; ,drinks uo whiskey under the head of travel ing expenses; but goes at once and all the time about his business free of expense. A good advertisement insures a business connection on a permanent and independent basis, and is in a certain sense a guarantee to the customer of fair and moderate prices. Experience has shown that the dealer whose wares have obtaintd a public celebrity is not enabled to sell, but is forced to sell, at rea sonable rates, and to furnish a good article. A PLEASANT SIIRPRISE.—We clip the following handsome compliment, paid one of our Huntingdon county boys, a son of Judge Clarkson, of Cassville, from a paper published in Bcl Air, Md., where he travels: On Friday last our most esteemed and effi. cient minister, Rev. B. F. Clarkson, received a surprise visit from his friends of Bel Air, Thomas' Run, Darlington and Franklin. Those kind friends came loaded with a profusion of good things. They filled the Rev. gentleman's bins with oats and corn, and his larder with beef, pork, sausage, groceries and other good things. The meeting was social, convivial, friendly and entertaining. Mr. Clarkson richly deserves this well-merited tribute of respect from his friends, for since his sojourn amongst us, lie has been laboring indefatigably in the vineyard of the Lord. His preaching is chaste, eloquent and refined, and he is well calculated to do the holy work of his Immaculate, Divine Master. He is a high toned, social gehtleman, and everybody that has had the good fortune to make his acquaintance esteems him. We regret when we think that the next Conference may send oar favorite minister to some other field of action ; but go where he may, he will be followed,by the kind wishes of his numerous friends of Ifarford, for his continued welfare. Mans. NATCHER DIAMOND DRESS FOR MILL l3ugus.— BROAD To CITY, PA., Dcc. 20, 1873. To MILLERS AND MILL OWNERS : dents:— We have made a trial of G. Natcher's Diamond Dress in our Steam Mill, and we agree with what John S. Isett, Cresswell, and others say as to its merits. It grinds faster with less power than any that has ever came under our notice, making a high percentage in yield and quality of flour. We esteem it a valuable invention and recommend it to all millers and consider it the best tool we have ever seen, and invite millers to call and see it cut and examine our work.

Beltman exhibited to us the other day a beautiful article of black marble, which he discovered on Clover creek, near Williams burg, in Blair county. It is of fine grain, yields a polish equal to any hitherto discov ered, and a competent judge in Philadelphia, pronounces it a superior article every way.— Another deposit yields a drab marble, and quite near them is au abundance of the lime stone. Ile has also discovered similar depos its near Union Furnace, above Spruce creek. These devolopments, we hope, will afford an ample return to the enterprising young man who has unearthed them.—Lewistown Ga zette.

REDUCTION OF WAGES.—The following important general order has been promulgat ed by the President of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, to take effect, as will be seen, on the first day of January next. It will be seen, also, that the objectionable feature in the reduction of wages of the laboring class of employes is entirely removed by making the reduction equal (ten per cent.) upon officers' salaries and laborers' wages. The following is the generel order: GENERAL ORDER, The great demand for the services of rail road employes in the various departments of this and other railroad companies having, during several years past, gradually caused an increase of the various salaries and wages of those engaged by them, to an extent which the present condition of the business of the company does not warrant, and a reduction appearing to be necessary to meet the altered I financial condition of the country, the Board of Directors have ordered that a uniform re duction of ten per cent. be made in the pay ment for services of all officers and employes of every grade, to take effect on and after the Ist of January, 1874.

The Christmas Trees in the Baptist and Episcopal churches were splendid. The roughs of Orbisonia ware fighting all day, on Christmas. Who sold the whiskey ? Mr. Jacob Hoffman, of Mt. Union, we learn from the Times, sold his tannery for $17,000. Rev. J. D. Thomas, iJolin S. Warfel and party killed six deer the last week in Decem ber. Our friend, N. F. Cunningham, of Altoona, is three inches taller than he was this time last week. It's a bop! We will be glad to hear from 'Jacob" any time, but not in Dutch. Too mach of a good thing may become a bore. The new Methodist Episcopal Church o f Warriorsmark,will be dedicated on the 11th of January, 1874.. The public are inviter to be present. A horse attached to a new top buggy, ran off, on Wednesday morning, in Shirley town ship, Smashing up the buggy and running the shaft into his aide. On Wednesday last Mr. John Barrick, of this place, killed three deer—a doe and two fawns—on Warrior Ridge. And it wasn't a very good day, for deer either. The Germany Valley Agricultural Society, of Shirley township, elected new Officers, one day last week. We did not learn their names. The Society is in a prosperous condition. Our friend Michael H. Hyper, esq., is teach ing this winter at the Red Hill School House, in Shirley township. He has a rery fine school and is getting along very well. We wish him abundant success. A couple of gentleman CO from Nit. Union, who, by the way, had too much benziqe, went sleighing through Germany Valley, last week, and, under the circumstances, they thought the sleighing very good. Mud! The Exhibition for the benefit of the Pres byterian Sabbath School, in Wharton & Ma guire's Hall, on last Thursday and Friday evening", was quite a success. The young folks acquitted themselves with much credit. Brady townshiP'is without a Justice of the Peace. Those elected last spring failed to lift their commissions and consequently in that district the scales of Justice have gone begging. Brady must be a Paradise—no body wants office I The last Times Mauls one of its prominent citizens frightly. The vary Old Harry is bristling in every firm of it I What in the mischief has come over the spirit of the dreams of the newspaper men in the Juniata Valley? Too much Christmas, eh? At a shooting match, in Penn township, on Tuesday of last week, a Mr. Anthony Ander- son was severely wounded in the arm by a .ball shot from a gun in the hands of his fath er. Mr. Anderson, sr., was making ready to aim at the target and by some 'accident the gun wah discharged with the result above stated. A gentleman of Tyrone, named Pitcher, lo cated a tobacco store in this place, some time ago, and put it iu charge of aGerman, in whom be had confidence. On Saturday night lest that worthy departed for New York, taking with him almost all the valuable goods of the es tablishment. Prof. Geddes, of Hanover C.Rllege, Indiana, passed through this place on Tuesday morn ing last, on his way to Williamsport, on a visit to his mother who is lying dangerously ill. Prof. Geddes is a native of this State and was the predecessor of Prof. James Stephens as Principal of the Huntingdon Academy.— Tyrone Democrat. A Ghost. BY DENNIS WRIFFERTY.

Union, on Saturday last, and wishing to, go to this place, we bought a ticket for a ride on the E. B. T. R.-R. At 11:50 A. 31. the Conductor called out, "All-aboard !" steam up and all right, and away we went. We found we were aboard the first train engine No. 1, Mr. Isaac Fickes, engineer, and 31r. George Kann, conductor. To our astonishment there were 35 passengers aboard. The cars are, in every respect, equal to any in use on other roads and far superior to some of the dirty dingy cars used by the Central. .We were pleased with the gentlemanly de portment of all the employees on thirroad, es pecially the conductor—though the name would indicate that be was a dangerous man lie does not look, however, like a man that would kiltany person but moves around in his train at though hp meant business and very polite to all ; in fact when we knew who was the engineer and conductor we felt perfectly safe. The track has been ballasted and the cars run over the road very smoothly. Some of the citizens here inclined to complain about the fare, it being 46 cents to this place, a dis tance of 7 miles, but when we compare the comfortable cars on this read with the miser able old stages we have been accnstorqed to travel on from Mt. Union to this place, we think there is reason to rejoice over the charge at any price. We are informed that the com pany is realizing a better patronage for the road both in passengers and freight than they had anticipated. They expect to have the road completed next summer to its terminus. We arrived here safely at 12:30 P. M., making the trip in 40 minutes. A neat ticket office, with comfortable room for passengers, and also a Freight Depot, hare been built here. Shirleysburg has not improved any since this road has been built, but this is not the fault of the Company. With good water-power, plenty-of iron ore and limestone accessible, end now a railroad, it only remains for enter prising capitalists to take hold of things here, to snake the place compete with any town in the county. Time will tell the tale. Like all country towns, at this time, business appears dull here. It would be a waste of time for us to give a description of this place, but permit us to say, there is a Lodge of I. 0. of 0. F. here, organized one year ago, which is in a prosperous condition, both numerically and financially. We are told that they have more than doubled their number in one year. This is said to be the first society, outside of the Church and Sabbath School, that has been organized in this place, that has lived to be a ' yearling. We saw the smiling face of Mr. George Leas, who is still at his oldbusiness of selling goods. We have often thought George ought to have entered into busines on his own hook ere this, as he is doubtless among the most enterpris ing men in the Lower End of the county. He is a sound Republican and has done snore to keep the party together than any other man in the community. There has been considerable turkey hunting done in this vicinity and we are told a large number have been caught. The hunting is not allconfined to the woods as we are informed that some persen found one in F. H. Lane's coop, the other night, that was being fattened for a Christmas roast.

DINNER AND FESTIVAL A Diurer and Festival were given in Shade Gap on Christmas and Christmas night, and the night following, which, considering the "panicy times," was a brilliant success. 'The proceeds, over two hundred dollars, to be used for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church. The Hall was beautifully decorated with wintergreens. Dinner was served at two o'clock, the table was abundantly spread wit:a all the delicacies of the season. More than one hundred persons partook of the meal. After dinner, and the necessary redding up, a recess of a few hours was given, after which the doors were again opened and persons re ceived until slate hour, during which time, Oys tors and Ich Cream were served. There wore many valuable articles chanced off, and some handsomely wrought tidy's, mats, toilet sets, and many other fancy articles. A handsome Carriage Afghan was voted for between Rev. Dunmire, of Burnt Cabins, and Rev. Kuhn, of Shade Gap. Mr. Dunmire had a largo major ity. There was a queen looking box, whose contents no one knew, except the Boner. It caused some merriment, and no little excite ment, finally it was put up to be contended for between Mrs. L izzie Sipes and Mrs. Anna Hudson—votes were taken in during both eve nings; when they were counted it was found that Mrs. H. would be the happy recipient. It was then moved that she open the box, and solve the mystery publicly, but she refused, guarding her treasure carefully, until she reached her sister's across the way, (which is nearer than home). There her woman's curi osity, which had been severely tried gave out. and she, with breathless excitement, tore open the box, and lo I and behold what did she unmask but a huge gourd? The woman felt that she had been severely cheated, and all sympathized with her, but none so heartily as Mrs. Sipes. There were two cakes put up to be chosen by ballot, one between Miss Ella Lap fer, of Blair, and Miss Precilla Montague, of Shade Gap, the majority was in Miss Mon tague's favor; the other was between Miss Mary Taylor and Miss•• Jennie Wilson; Miss Taylor had the majority. The Hall is to re - main decorated until after New Yesrs, when an entertainment is to be given to the Sabbath School scholars. We've all had a merry Christmas, and we wish them a happy New Year. MAIID. '''' ' FROM,THREE SPRINGS. EDITOR JoruNAL:—We had the pleasure of attending a concert at Three Springs given by Prof. .1. Glenn, on Christmas night. The Professor has for some time been teaching a vocal music class at Three Springs, and also a class at Saltillo. Ile had spent a great deal of labor in decorating the town hall for the occasion, and certainly manifested good taste in its management. It was arranged on this occasion, by the Professor, that each class should sing separately, to show the improve ment made, or the musical ability of each. The programme consisted of vocal solos, duets, trios, quartettes, interspersed with in strumental music on the violin and organ. The ladies of Three Springs, and especially the ladies of Saltine), made a splendid appear ance on the stage. They wore dressed in tifhite, and their heads were crowned wills wreaths of myrtle and dowers. They looked charming. And I would just sayto my young man wanting a wife to call on the ladies of Three Springs or Saltillo, ands will guarantee him to get a pretty wife and a good singer,• and I must acknowledge, Mr. Editor, when I saw those ladies make their appearance on the stage I almost regretted that I had some mat rimonial engagements that I could not easily fall back on. 1 will not pretend to hay whiph class excelfed in singing, but I would just say that they both did nobly, and proved that their teacher, Prof. Glenn, is a splendid music teacher, and fully master of his profession. The closing scene was a Christmas tree, sur rounded by some twenty little girls, who sang a Christmas carol. The tree made a splendid appearance when lit up. It was gotten up by hOth classes with considerable expense. And while.the, singing was very goOd, I must not forget the instrumental part of the music,- which was also very good, and, taking it alto gether, it was a rich entertainment, and, I may say, a complete success, and reflects credit on the citizens of Three Springs and Saltillo, and especially on Prof. Glenn.
