The Huntingdon Journal. Wednesday Morning, March 25,1874 - - READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. LOCAL AND PERSONAL, Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen. The Orbisonia mill will soon be iu operation. The wind blew a perfect hurricane on Sun- dad• night. M. M. Logan, esq., is about starting a dairy in this place. Sunday last dried up the fountait, of mud in West Huntingdon. The Silsby Slinstrels speak very flatteringly of their visit to Clearfield. A small child of Maj. U. S. Wharton died very suddenly last week. Mr. Andrew Cross, of 6 lexandria, uow han dles a babe on each knee. Twin girls. The neatest and cleverest condiment out is celery salt. Massey sells it very readily. On Sunday night the winds were on a high and made things bang and clatter frightfully. A large number of persons visited the M. E. Conference, at Altoona, during the last week. J. II Weight, esq., of Tod township, caught four wild cats this winter. Two of them un fortunately escaped. Two children swamped in West Huntingdon one day last week. Verdict of the '•Crowner's quest"-- ,, Stuck in the mud I" Dou't fail to read our appeal for money and if you are of the 1200 please respond. We n.ed every cent that is due us. 'lf I only bad some butter," is the cry of It is as scarce every other person you meet as honest Democratic politicians Woods had nn opportunity to pour out his political grievances at Harrisburg, and he did his level best. It was a fit occasion. The Spring trade is about to commence. Get your letter heads, note heads, cards, en. velopes, tags, &c., at the Jornsm. office. Rev. A.. W. Gibson, of Curwensville, Clear. field county, preached iu the Methodist Epis copal Church, in this place, last Sunday. A couple of crack shots, in Smithfield, did some tall shooting last week. A board a foot square received an only ball in the match. The letter of our friend from Mapleton is entirely too lengthy for our columns. Could n't you boil it down one half or two-thirds? The spirit-of enterprise has attacked a few persons in Warriorsmark, who are trying to organize a Building and Loan Association." Sums, 'Squire Smith, Bedford's newly elected Jus tice of the Peace, dropped in the other eve ning. and reports everything lovely in the ancient Fort George Wells pulls the strings now when the Bus" moves. George is as nice and polite as a French dancing master. "Bits for all parts of the town !'' Mr. John 'Bisbin, constable of Alexandria, aged about 78 years, was stricken by paraly sis, on Monday of last week. The left side was entirely paralyzed. Joseph Miller, of West township, lost a fino mare, last week, b: the hots. They had eaten entirely through the maw and destroyed the passage leading to the stomach. The sigh-board at BurchinelPs Planing Hill, which announces "One line to Huntingdon," might as well be taken down, sirce the town extenda•almoat a mile beyond it. Persons changing their location or post of fice address on the first proximo. will please advise us so that we can make the chvge upon our books to accommodate them. The schools of West township are closing a very successful term. We will not make in vidious comparisons : but say that the teachers have generally gives satisfaction. George Hawn, of Jurjata township, died, last week, of severe afflictions with which he been suffering for several months. lie was a good citizen and highly respected. The little girl and only child of Rev. G. D. Pennypaeker, of whom we spoke a week ago, died on last Sunday evening. We deeply sympathize with the afflicted parents. Some wag says that partof the Silsby Troupe got into the Clearfield jail, but adds that they think it a very great improvement on the mis erable old ice house at the foot of Cemetery II ill. The Book and Ladder Company's Fair is said to hare been a complete success. We are glad to hear it. The young men deserve credit for their efforts is behalf of this great improvement. The editor of the Local News has won our admiration. Go in, Ilugh ; there isn't any body we would sooner see win than you, if it is in the timber. We like your candor. Stick to that, old boy. Dr. B. B. Hamlin was in town last week, on his way to Conference. lie is as much of a wag as ever. He said we should put some thing in these columns to please his family, and we hope we have. Judges Hall and Rowe, of the Bedford and Franklin Judicial district, have divided their district satisfactorily. Jndge Hall taking Bedford and Somerset counties and Judge Rowe, Franklin and Fulton. Prof. Coyle is now holding one of his week ly concerts or musical conventions in the Presbyterian Church, near Cottage. He Ap pears to be master of his business, and his class, we learn, is making good progress. The Orbisonia Esculapius, who, on the in • t•itation of some lady friend, attended a wed ding. near Shirleysburg, reports the supper as having been capital, but the weddings wretch ed farce. Don't go the next time, Doctor. We hope those indebted to us have not come to the conclusion that we can run our business and live without money? It takes a large sum of money to run our business, and we arc not getting it. Come, friends, help us. [tf. The Times says that W. A. Ingham and other gentlemen connected with the East Broad Top Railroad, have been looking for locations for coal-chutes at that point, in anticipation of coal shipments as soon as the road is com• pleted. A gentleman wanting a house to rent, the other day, said that he saw a written notice of one for rent sticking up on the street corners, hut he was afraid to apply to the man who was too stingy to use the usuals channel for advertising. The venerable " Phmnix" is being over hauled at the Car Shops of Orbison & Co. She is to, be located in West Huntingdon ; where she will be the champion squirt. She will be able to exclaim with Selkirk monarch of all I survey Capt. Thomas S. Johnston "has it so in his hack" that he has been laid up fur the last week. Methuselah, in the 969th year of his age, could'nt have experienced more difficulty or presented a more venerable figure than lie does in hobblitg about the house. Miss Eliza Gibson, of whom we spoke in our last issue, died on Tuesday morning of last week and was buried at Bedford on Thursday. She was in the 28th year of her age. She was a most estimable young, lady, and leaves many kind friends to mourn her untimely death. Mr. T. Love, of West township, while cutting wood at the wood bile, cut his foot very severely. It is healing and doing very well, but he regrets that he is missing all the sales this spring. No doubt they do miss his genial phiz and the auctioneer his frequent winks. Sales are very numerous this Spring, and stock of all kinds bring high prices. At a sale , in West township, one day last week, ten horses brought over $1,800; colts and cattle about $700.00 or $BOO.OO. The sale amount ed to near $3.000. Shaver's Creek Valley is noted for good stock. The Hollidaysburg Standard says : "We are not sure that a good coal oil lamp is not infinitely more convenient and less expensive than such gas as is doled out.to the people of Huntingdon." We are sorry our gas is not better. We hope our gas men will give us a better article. There is much complaint. We expect, in our next issue, to lay before our readers the report of the Committee on the Orphan School Scandal. The Committee, we are informed, will report in favor of the removal of the school. This is all that comes within their province. All further proceed ings will be conducted in the Criminal Courts. The debating societies of Shaver's Creek Bridge still meet twice a week. One of them, the "Young Men's Literary Club," is now en gaged in getting up a programme for public exhibition. We think they deserve praise and encouragement in their endeavors for mutual improvement, and bespeak for them a full house and an appreciative audience. Hon. Bruce Petriken, of Huntingdon, is nam ed in Democratic circles as a candidate for Governor or Lieutenant Governor, but his chances for securinz the nomination for either office are about as favorable as is the chance of the Bunker Hill Monument being struck by lightning next Fourth of July.—Johnstoten TeL bone. The young men who wrote defamatory lan guage on cards and strewed them about the strr 2ts of Alexandria, with a view to injure the character of some young ladies, ought to be severely punished. Very nice work for would-be young gentlemen Remember your association, of itself, would be as much as the character of any young lady could bear. A look through the Car Works, in company with Superintendent Orbison, on Friday last, exhibited to us a perfect hive of industry. About eighty hands bale been employed during the last month. Large oil-tanks are being built,. and old ones repaired, in large numbers. " Such a clang, clash and roar" would deafen almost anybody. It looks like business truly in that quarter. In the hardness of his heart, the editor of the Lewistown Democrat, says : "The editor of the Huntingdon .Tocaxit wants money ! He says it requires money to keep a printing office going! When four newspapers are pub lished in a small town like Huntingdon, even though it is backed up by n large county, we don t wonder that the edi.ors need money. It would not surprise us to learn before long that some of them needed bread." The argument of counsel before the Com mittee to Investigate the charges of immoral ity against A. L. Guss took place in the Sen ate Chamber on Thursday last. The argu ment was opened by E. S. Doty; esq., follow ed by S. T. Brown, esq., for the prosecution who were followed in turn by W. H. Woods, esq., and R. Bruce Petrekin, esq., for the de fence, and Mr. Vanderslice, of Philadelphia closed for the prosecution. The chamber was crowded. We last week gave some statistics of the consumption of Mann's Axe Factory in which there were several errors. The following statement is correct: iOO tons of iron; 120 of steel * : 500 of grind stones ; 500 of soft coal and 1000 hard coal per annum. We stated that Mr. Mann orriginally located at Johns town, it should have been Bellefonte. They ship axes to every State and Territory in the Union, to British Columbia, Hawaiian Islands, Australia, Vic., ke. The following joke, which occurred in the lower end of this county recently, is certainly worth publishing : Two strangers met ; and, by the way, they both stuttered badly. After the usual salutation, the following conversa tion ensued: One said to the other, "What t t-t•time have?•ou T" The other replied, "My t-t-t time aln't gain". The first said, "Do-do-do-don't you mo-mo-mo-mock me, or I-I 1-I'll 1-1-1-lick you like the d d-devil The second one said, " The he-lie.he.liell you will !" Just at this point the fight was com_ meucing, when some persons who understood the joke, stepped up and explained the diffi culty and made friends of the stutterers. On Tuesday of last week, says the Lewis town Democrat, "the Tanner's Mutual Fire lnsuranle Company, of Pennsylvania," was organized in this place. The Directors are : Messrs. Wm. J. Robison, Wm. B. Leas, Sam% Kurtz, Geo. B. Kerper, H. B. Bechtel, A. G. Spanogle, Amos Hollinger, D. B. Spanogle, A. J. North, John 11. Johnston, and J. A. Mc- Kee. Wm. J. Robinson was elected President, Wm. B. Leas Vice President, 11. H. Bechtel Treasurer, John A. McKee Secretary, James H. Parker General Agent, and Geo. B. Kerper, A. J. Spanogle and Samuel Kurtz, Executive Committee. The design of the company is to insure tannery property throughout the State The Central Office is to be in Lewistown. The reason why everybody is seen going to Henry & Co.'s is that they have just filled their immense store, frcm cellar to garret, with a fresh etock of desirable goods of every description, which they are selling cheaper, for cash, than the same article can be purcha sed elsewhere in the county. REVIVAL AT WARRIOR63IAItK.—The labors, of a five weeks' revival of religion, in the M. E. Church, at Warriorsmark, have just closed. The result, of this religious effort, has been the happy conversion of about ninety (90) sin ners, many of whom enjoyed a clear evidence of their acceptance. Seventy-one (71) acces sions have been made to the M. E. Church, thus commencing a new journey in life, sup ported by the fervent prayer of a faithful membership, for their safe transit through the ills and dangers of life. The present season seems to he propitious throughout the land for religious blessings, and our little village has received its full pro portion of the divine favor. The necessity, for much preaching or ex hortation, did not seem to exist ; but, a strong conviction bad seized the consciences of the community, impressing them with the great necessity of changing from a sinful ton chris tian course of life. CHEIL. We chanced into Henry 4; Co.'s several times, during the week, and found all hands as busy as Rollers vending oat Dry Goods, Groceries, Hats, Caps, Boots, Shoes, Lumber, Iron and Nails, a complete assortment of which they keep constantly on hand.

An incident somewhat divartin, Jist now to me memory occurs; Front truth it would not be departin To wave the same tale into verse. A lady and jintleman walkin', Met Pat wid a dhrap in his eye; Of "love in a cot" they were talkin' Not Kadin' the Irishman nigh. But Paddy persaved, very clearly, The fatures of one who had thrown Insult at tho gran° flag of Arin, And ehpite in his flashin' eve shone. Forninst the young couple so tinder, About where the parties must pass. Was sated a grave-lookin' gander, Quite leisurely plucking the grass. Thought Pat: "Be me sowl. jist rinder To that chap his own and come more; For shore its right well I remimber The frazin insult that I bore." Thin shtraitenin' up very proudly, To the gander he made a great bow And, shpakin* out plainly and loudly, See. be: "Sir, an' how do ye do? "Be jabers, I think ye are lonely— I do not mane any abuse: On this side I seo but you only, The other one ehports a fine goose!' ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PENNSYL VANIA RULROAD COMPANT.-The annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railrond Company was held on Tuesday, March 10, at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadel phia. Promptly ut ten o'clock the secretary commenced reading the annual report of the Board of Managers, which corers operations for the entire year 1873. The revenues and expenses of the main line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from all sources were $24,886,008, against $15,440,- 305 expenses, leaving net earnings of $9,445,- 703. The net earnings of the same line in 1872 were $8,247,852, showing an increase of net earnings of 1873 over 1872 of $1,197,851. The total of passengers carried in 1873 was 5,879,684, against 5,250,393 in 1872, an in crease of 629,291, or nearly 12 per cent. Of freight there were carried 9,998,794 tons, against 8,459,535 tons the yesr previous, show ing an increase of 1,539,259 tons, or over 18 per cent. The actual costs of operating, ex cluding branch lines, was 571 per cent. The earnings of the United Railroads of New Jersey and branches and of the'Philadel phia and Trenton Railroad were $8,516,739; expenses, $6,792,158; Jeaving net earnings of $1,724,551. There was an increase in the number of passengers carried of 422,248, and in the amount of freight moved of 515,273 tons. The operating expenses were slightly more than 74 per cent. of the receipts. This large perentage of expenses to receipts is attributed to running too many passenger trains, therefore these undue facilities have been reduced. The earnings of the Philadelphia and Tren ton Railroad and Branches, 38 miles, and the United Railroads of New Jersey and branches, 238 miles, Belvidere Delaware Railroad, 68 miles, Flemington branch, 12 miles, and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, 61 miles, inclu ding feeder, in 1873, were : From United Rail roads of New Jersey, $8,516,739; from Bel videre Delaware Railroad and Flemington branches, $1,148,222 ; and from Delaware and Raritan Canal, $1,590,100, giving total earn ings during 1873 of $11,255,062. The expen ses of the several works enumerated were SS, 823,732, leaving as their net earnings $2,431,- 330, from which was paid in interest en bonds $1,168,570, and in dividends to shareholders $1,948,450, making the rental $3,117,020, thus showing s loss to the Pennsylvania Railroad on the New Jersey railroads and canals of $685,689. Deducting this loss from the net profits from the main line ($2,198,767) leaves as surplus net profits on the whole line from New York to Pittsburgh, after providing for a ten per cent. dividend, payment of interest, etc., of $1,513,077. Prom this time forth it is expected by the Board of Managers that the New Jersey liues'will show little, if any, work ing loss, the expensive improvements made and making to cheapen the moving and handling of freight being nearly completed. The total earnings of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad for the year 1873 were $3,842,- 067. The operating expenses were $3,413,- 310, showing a balance to the credit of the Company of $428,756. The business of this teased road makes a bad show—the traffic shod•s a falling off, attributable fo the panic. and the actual working expenses for 1873 were 88 6 14 per cent. of receipts. The Company owns of coal land 28,050 acres, lying in the Wilkesbarre, Hazleton, Shamokin and Lykens Valley regions, purchased at a cost of 53,857,573, and are now valued at slo,' 050,000. The total anthracite tonnage last year on the Company's main line was 1,173,- 960 tons, and on its canals 1,542,125 tons.— The bituminous tonnage in the same time was 3,353,541 tons. The cause of the scrip dividend last fall is explained, and the fact that $754,600 of the amount has been redeemed, is announced, and much of the remainder, it is expected, will be absorbed in the payment of installments on subscriptions to the stock. The general account of the Treasurer's statement shows a capital and debt in 1873 of $140,725,637, being an increase over the total of 1872 of $24,066,813—0f this increase $14,- 872,538 is in capital, $8,073,476 in bonded debt, the remainder in bills payable, etc. The report expresses unbroken confidence as to the future value of the Company's property, and though no reference was made as to the probability of the next dividend, all the facts and figures presented point to the usual divi dend of 10 per cent. per annum.—Ledger. AND STILL ANOTHER.—Dr. 11. A. Miller and Rash Fisher, of Iluntingdon, pur chased a very valuable tract of coal land, on the Little Beaver run, from General Patton, of Curwensville. They bought with the view of immediately opening it, and going to work, provided those pwning interests along said stream will assist in building the road, but can afford to leave it lay for two or three years, provided they cannot get this assistance. We congratulate Messrs. Miller and Fisher on their purchase. There are not many such tracts left in this section. We avill have more to say on this subject again, but would like to see those who are willing to loan assistance in building the road up this stream, come to the front, and make their intentions known, for it is a little valley full of bright mineral pros pects. From the way the coal lands have been bought up within the last mouth or two in this region we are lead to the co7triction that there cannot be much left.—Osceola Rev— eille. A GRAND SUCCESS.—The Citizens of Corinne, Utah, are feeling jubilant over the success of the Grand Gift Concert recently in augurated in that city for the benefit of their free school. The day of drawing approaches, t he demand for tickets increases, and there is no doubt that the Concert will take place as advertised. All who desire to invest had bet ter do so at once and secure a chance of draw ing $50,000 on an investment of $l.OO. Full particulars will be found in another column. We have an eighty dollar Sewing Machine that we will give to any young lady who will raise us eighty new subscribers that will pay within the year at the rate of $2 per subscriber, Here is a chance. This ought to be done in two or three townships we can name, without much effort. tf. 16561 FRESII ARRIVAL OF MILLINERY GOODS.—Miss E. M. Africa has just returned rotn the east with a large nod fashionable stock of bonnets, hats, notions, assortment of children's aprons, &c., &c. And every thing in her line. tr.
