It is said that the juice from an onion will instantly cure the pain from a mosquito bite. Our clever friend, Harry Thomas, conducts the Huntingdon Accommodation camp train. The tog was so thick and heavy on Monday morning that it could almost be sliced off in chunks. 'LThe public schools of this borough will open in one week from next Monday, being the 2d day of September. Our townsman, D. S. Africa, esq., will pull up stakes and leave for his new Texas home about the 15th prox. John A. Schick, late local editor of the Greenback Nationalist has left for his home in Montgomery county. An sld woman who visited this place last week was badly treated and insulted by the hoodlums of the town. It is estimated that nine thousand persons were present on the Juniata Valley camp ground on Sunday last. The handsomest paper, for making wall pockets, in town, all colors and styles, just re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. Rev. Landis, of Lancaster, filled the pulpit in the Presbyterian church, in this place, on Sunday morning and evening. Two Italians, with an organ and two monkies perambulated onx streets on Monday, and the trundle-bed brigade was happy. The howling through our streets, at a late hour on Saturday night, was indicative of a good supply of noisy whiskey. We arc to have one more eclipse this year, and that v► ill be the eclipse of the Democratic and Greenback parties in November. Our Methodist friends, who have been "tenting on the old camp ground" for the past ten days, will break camp on Friday morning . The hair swindlers have paid Osceola a visit, and some of its fair damsels lament over the loss of their carefully preserved "combings." Babies are the institution and should be guarded from attacks of Colic, Flatulence, etc., by Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. Price 25 cents per bottle. The Fifth street pavement, along the Meth odist church property should be raised a foot or two. In its present condition it is entirely too low. On Sunday evening last we observed a couple of tramps washing their clothing in the Ju niata river, in the vicinity of the B. T. R. R. bridge. We sampled a variety of plums grown in the garden of our townsman, Cdr. A. A. Jacobs, and found them luscious and toothsome.— Thanks. A well-known citizen of this place was "gobbled" the other day for "gobbling" a neighbor's gobbler off his roost. The matter was "settled." Rev. Riddle, of our town, don't take kindly to camp meetings that are run more in the interest of the stockholders than for the saving of sinners. Onr friend, Russ Henry has been walking with a limp in bis gait, for several days past, occasioned by stepping on a nail, which pen etrated his foot. u ommercial printing a specialty at the JOUR NAL Job Rooms. We have the finest stock to select from in the interior of the State. Send along your orders. tf. A new invoice of the handsomest stationery ever brought to Huntingdon has just been re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. It is really beautiful, and so cheap. tf. By the demise of the Tribune the Sentinel and Republican is the only Republican paper in Juniata county, and we wish its editor financial and political success. The dog days end to-morrow, and we would be happy to be able to announce that the days of a number of worthiest dogs in this place were to end at the same time. We are pleased to note a decided improve ment in the health of our clever young friend, Tommy Africa,who is sojourning in the rural districts for the benefit of the same. The brick work on the Normal School is now being pushed rapidly forward, an addi tional force of brick layers having been added ; it is now ready for the joist on the second floor. Judge Ross, of Montgomery county, decides that the county is not bound to pay the costs of arrest and commitment of persons who are captured while stealing rides on railroad trains. A dog was sent to the how-wows, in front of the Leister House, on Saturday evening, by being caught by a passing train. He was in prime order for the manufacture of bologna. On Monday night some mean thief stole six chickens from the coop of D. P. Gwin, esq.— If you are a lover of plain German you should have heard Casper when be discovered the theft. H. H. North, esq., has been afflicted, for a week or two past, with a violent attack of the "Juniata Jigs," but at last accounts, by a plentiful use of quinine, he had mastered the disease. A goodly number of Huntingdon's popula tion visited the Juniata camp on Sunday, but the turnout was not more than half of what it was last year. People are tiring of camp meetings. Chawls DeSlaughter, of our town, is the "boss" barber at the Newton camp. We hope Charley will not get into the same trouble that befell him on a former occasion at the same place. A communication from the pen of our able correspondent "Trite," will be found on the first page of to-day's JOURNAL, to which we invite the attention of every laboring man in the county. We want two or three loads of good, dry kindling wood. If any of our country friends have such an article, and desire to pay their subscriptions in this way, they can bring along the wood. Four hundred and forty bushels of berries, principally alder-berries, were brought to town, one day last week, by a party of berry pickers. They were gathered in the neighbor hood of Manayunk. Our old friend, 11. Roman, esq., intending to retire from business, offers his entire steel; of clothing and furnishing goods for sale.— The store room, one of the most desirable iu town, can be rented. Geo. A. Port's sorrel mare, whose front leg was fearfully cut by her halter chain, some time ago, a notice of which appeared in the JOURNAL at the time, has so far recover': , ! as to be able to be driven gently. Judging from the number of drunken p,,r sons who arrived in this place, from camp, On Sunday night, whiskey must {lace been as free as water. Another argument agaist making Sunday "the big day' at such places. John Berry, esq., of Baltimore, Md., has opened a law office at No. 319 Penn street.— Mr. Berry is a native of this county, where he has many warm personal friends. lie is a clever gentleman, and we wish him success. D. P. Gwin, esq., and wife left home on Thursday morning of last week for Mercer, Pa., whither they go to visit our former popular townsman, Rev. Geo. W. Zahnizer. We wish them a pleasant visit and a safe return home. A Lewistown lady had her pocket picked at the station, at Newton Hamilton, on Sunday night, during the rush of passengers for the eastern bound train. The chap who did the job was not much benefitted by Sunday's ser vices. Rev. John A. Peters, for many years pastor of the German Reformed church in Alexandria, is about to sever his relationship with his old charge for the purpose of accepting the vacant pastorate of the First Reformed church of Lancaster. • "L'homme qui rit."—The man who laughs is a happy man, and no man can he happy with his blood loaded with impurities. The remedy which all can depend upon for every vitiated condition of the blood is Dr. Bull's Blood 31 ixture. We understand that the dancing platform was liberally patronized on Saturday night, and that the proceeds panned out remarkably well, all of which we are glad to know, as it will assist the Phoenix boys in purchasing their new suits. The camp train, on Sunday morning, when it reached its destination, had between thir teen and fourteen hundred passengers on board. Five conductors were kept busy lift ing tickets and preserving order. They all lauded safely. This vicinity was visited by two heavy rain storms on Thursday of last week. Fifth street, from Washington to Moore, presented the ap pearance of a miniaturelake, that portion of it being completely under water during the continuance of the shower. Mrs. Hannah Geissinger, mother of our friend, Wm. Geissinger, esq., of Penn town ship, is lying dangerously ill at his residence. Mrs. Geissinger has attained the ripe old ago of 95 years, and is the only surviving widow of a revolutionary soldier in the county. P. S. Mrs. Geissinger died on Wednesday. About half a dozen wagon loads of gravel were hauled off Judge Miller's pavement after the heavy rain of Thursday. Unless there is some improvement made in the water courses in that neighborhood, in the course of a few years the school house hill will be washed away. Last week we copied a notice from the Belle fonte Watchman, in which it was stated that the sum paid by our townsman, L. L. Brown, esq., for the coal and grain business of Shortlidge dk Co., in that town was $l6OO. We learn from the same source that the price paid was $6,000. Among the list of postmasters appointed during the past week we find the names of Jonathan Evants, esq., and Eli Plummer, esq., the former to be postmaster at Eagle Foundry, and the latter at Trough Creek, both in this county. Both of these gentlemen will make good and efficient officers. C. G. Welsh, esq., of Baltimore, Md., spent last week with friends in this place. Hun tingdon seems to have some peculiar attrac tion for Charley. Well, its nobody's business if it has ; he's a clever fellow, and is alss'ays welcome to his old home, and is warmly re ceived by his many friends. The dedication of the Evangelical Lutheran church, of Huntingdon, will take place on Sunday, August 23th. The Rev. J. 11. Menges, of Philadelphia, will be present and officiate. Other able ministers from abroad will also be present. Services at 10i A. m., 3P. M., and 7i P. M. All are invited to attend. Every newspaper man will appreciate the following from the Mt. Holly, N. J., Mirror, if no one else does : "Get your printing done where you please—it is your right—but please do not after spending your money elsewhere, come to the Mirror office begging free local notices. It isn't business. It isn't decent." Charlie Cromley, clerk at the Bush House, goes to Huntingdon, September Ist, to take that position at the Leister House. Hunting don people will find him a good fellow. Du ring his stay in Bellefonte he has won many friends by his courteousness. As a hotel clerk he has few superiors.—Bellefonte Re publican. The new Penitentiary project is a trump card. Who holds it, the Governor or the would-be Congressman '?—Nationalist, Speer's organ No. 2. Senator Fisher holds both bowers, the ace and enough side trumps to "skunk" those who have been laboring to defeat his efforts to advance the interests of our people. If printers were to publish some of the com munications sent them, without correction, the writers would be astonished at their own ignorance. People who want to figure in the papers should prepare their manuscripts so that they could be sent to the compositors without consuming the time of the editor in overhauling them in order to render them readable. Some fellow wants the new penitentiary built in the wilds of Cambria county, about two miles from the Ebensburg & Cresson rail road, a thoroughfare that is usually snow bound from early in the fall till late in spring. If located at that point prisoners shipped there during the winter months could enjoy the pleasures of a sleigh ride from Cresson to the institution. Our old-time friend, Dr. J. G. Camp, dropped in to see us on Monday morning. He has dis carded the forceps for the present and is now engaged in farming. He does this for the purpose of recupering his health, which bad become impaired by too long and close con finement to office duties. He is a clever fel low, and we wish bim luck in whatever busi ness he may engage in. The three female swindlers whom we noticed a week or two ago, as having swindled some Cambria county ladies out of their combings which they had entrusted to them to be con verted into switches, etc., have been heard from in Indiana county, where they practiced the same game. If they should turn up in our county, we hope our fair readers will not per mit themselves to be taken in. We learn from the Osceola Reveille that a lawyer named C. C. Leidy, who vegetates in Houtzdale, Clearfield county, has been ar rested and imprisoned to answer the double charge of forgery and abstracting money from letters which be took from the office for another person. The chances are that this disciple of Blackstone will be kept a year or two at the expense of the State. We take the following from an exchange : "Camping and fishing parties can obtain a good light by soaking a common brick in kerosene oil for ten minutes. The brick ab sorbs the oil, and on being suspended with wire and ignited a brilliant light, lasting for half an hour, is obtained. This is said, by those who have experimented with it, to be greatly superior to the torch in general use." Postmasters should remember that merely returning a paper to the office of publication with the word "refused" written upon its mar gin, is not a legal notice. They have blanks furnished them for this purpose, and they should give publishers an intelligible and legal notification when a paper addressed to a subscriber is allowed to remain in their offices. We bogie postmasters will give this matter their attention. During the thunder storm on Thursday at tarnoon of last week, the barn of David Harsh barger, about half a mile west of Mattawanna, in Mifflin county, was struck twice by light ning, and with the hay, grain and other pro duce was totally consumed. A couple of tramps, who had sought shelter in the barn, succeeded in rescuing all the live stock except two calves. One of the tramps was severely stunned, but soon recovered. We learn from the Globe, of last week, that C. C. Read and a friend were waylaid by a tramp, on Warrior Ridge, one evening recently when on their way home from the Mooresville camp. The tramp stopped the horse and de manded money, and while waiting for them to hand over the shekels Carleton's companion juraped out of the buggy and sent the thief to grass by a well-directed blow at the butt of his ear. By the time he got up the buggy was beyond his reach. The sum of $l,lOO has already been sub scribed for the purpose of drilling an experi mental oil well in Jackson township, Cambria county. It will require about $3,500 to run the bole to the required depth, 1,000, feet, and the sum, it is thought, can be secured with out nfueli difficulty. As soon as this amount of stock is taken, work will be begun forth with. The point selected for the site of active ope;i:tions is near the line of ttio Pittsburgh turni,ike, seven miles west of Ebensburg. A. W. Edwards, the too-mach married man , who was to have been tried this week for lei f :my. failed to put in an typearance when Isis was called on Tuesday last, as a con sequence his bail was forfeited. On the same evening he was arrested in Altoona, on a warrant issued by Samuel March, of this place, as agent for Mr. Wolf, who had been "diddled" out of some clothing by false representations made to him. Edwards was brought to this place and lodged in jail on Wednesday morn ing. There are a couple of candidates on the Re publican county ticket whose names are not to be found among our list of subscribers, and yet we presume they expect us to urge their claims for the offices for which they have been nominated. Well, we can't do it; we will vote fur them, as a matter of course, but, "only this and nothing more." Unless they borrow the paper from a neighbor they would not be able to tell whether their names appeared in the JOURNAL or not. It is "cool," to fay. the least.' A short time since, says the Waynesboro' Record, the remains of the late Isaac Deardorff were disinterred from the family burying ground, on the Stover farm, near Shady Grove, for the purpose of removing them to the Hade Church Cemetery. The coffin was found to be in a perfect state of preservation, and upon opening it, to the surprise of all present, the body presented the same appearance it did when buried, nearly twelve years ago. This must be regarded as a rather remarkable case as the coffin was not an air-tight one. This statement is vouched by trustworthy citizens. A runaway horse made it lively on Fifth street, on Saturday evening. The horse, the property of Dr. Wm. Allen, of New York, had just been hitched to a buggy, in the carriage yard attached to the Franklin House, and while the hostler went into the stable to get the whip the animal became frightened and mad! a break for the street. He ran across the street to the ~ a vement of D. P. Gwinn, which he followed to the corner of Penn, when he struck Fifth, and running up that thorough fare at full speed turned into Washington street where he soon stumbled and fell, and becoming entangled in the harness was unable to get up until the harness was removed. The buggy was turned upside down, but strange to say escaped with very slight injury. The horse was very badly used up. One of the shafts entered his flesh just behind the front leg, making an ugly gash. A little child, who was on the crossing at the corner of Fifth and Penn streets, made a narrow escape from being run over. COURT PROCEEDINGS.—Court met at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, and after a few hours were occupied iu hearing motions and petitions, receiving returnslof constables, &c., the first case was reached at 3 P. M. his was an indictment charging Henry E. Shafer, esq., with the rarely heard of crime of common barratry. Mr. Jackson, the prose cuting officer, stated in opening he case that this was the only case of the kind ever tried in this county, and that only one other had been tried in the State, as far as he could learn. Mr. Speer, in his argument for the defense, said that he never heard of more than one conviction for this offense in the United States, and that was the case of a Justice of the Peace in South Carolina. The present case was prosecuted by Andrew Wise, esq., who. testified that in a certain prosecution instituted against himself for is suing fraudulent scalp orders, Mr. Shafer ap peared for the prosecutor, Michael Dell, ind vexed and harrassed him by causing him to be arrested several times, that be frightened his bail and put him to the trouble of getting new bail for his appearance at court, and in fine, showed a malicious spirit towards him in Laving him prosecuted for an offense of which he was not guilty. Mr. Wise's testimony was somewhat shattered by the witness who followed him, who flatly contradicted him in several important particulars. • John Dougherty, esq., of Mt. Union, testified to Mr. Shafer's connection with four lawsuits against himself, in all of which he thought' Mr. Shafer showed more of a desire to oppress him than was really necessary. Mr. George Clymens testified to a case in which Mr. Shafer was retained by the Mt. Union Banking Company to collect a note from Mr. Clymens and thre others who were co-endorsers with Clymens on the note, and that he gave Clymens 6 months after the note was due in which to pay it, that Clymen's paid the note before the -expiration of that time, and Mr. Shafer made arrangements to collect from the other endorsers the shares they should have paid and pay back to Mr. Clymen's. Mr. Clymens however did not complain of Mr. Shafer. In defense, Mr. Shafer swore that in the case of the prosecution against Esq. Wise by Michael Dell, he had refused to take the case three times before he finally accepted it from Mr. Dell, that he believed the case was well founded, as there were no less than four wit nesses who swore to as many acts of fraudulent issuing of scalp orders by Esq. Wise ; that in stead of intimidating the bail of Esq. Wise, he actually assisted him to get bail, and that the withdrawal of the bail afterwards was caused by Esq. Wise himself who swore that he would never go to court but would let his bail stick. Mr. Shafer was corroborated by several wit nesses on these points. As to the Dougherty and Clymens cases, Mr. Shafer proved that he had been regularly retained in them and directed to prosecute them, and that he did not originate a single one of the cases named by the prosecution, but only did his duty as his oath of office required. Other evidence was produced to show that Mr. Wise had in stigated the present prosecution against Mr. Shafer through a spirit of revenge, and not for the purpose of observing the interests of the public. The jury was sent out at noon on Tuesday. but it was evident to every one that the prosecution in this case was an entire failure, and when on the reassembling of court in the afternoon, a verdict of Not Guilty, and that Andrew Wise the prosecutor pay the costs was rendered by the jury, no one was surprised in the least. This was the first and only jury case tried at this court. In the case of the commonwealth vs. Calvin Smith, Levi Miller, George Taylor and Melissa Dennison, charged with conspiracy to extract money from Rev. J. W. Curry, of Altoona, by bringing against him an ill-founded prosecu tion for adultery; which was tried at last April Sessions, and resulted in a disagreement of the jury ; District Attorney Jackson moved for a nolle prosequi on the ground that Mr. Curry had already been amply vindicated by the action of the grand jury in Blair county, in ignoring the adultery bill, and that the present case could not in any way effect his guilt or innocence. The court allowed the nolle prosequi to be entered. Several minor bills were called up, in each of which the defendants pleaded guilty. Among them was the case of commonwealth vs. Abra ham Grissinger, who said he had a wife that refused to get him his supper when he wanted it, and he tried to persuade her to do her duty by gently tapping her on the arm with a switch not thicker than his little finger. His Honor Judge Dean jocularly informed him that he was about 200 years behind the age, that the old Roman law which allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick not thicker than his little finger had long been abolished, and under the present laws of Pennsylvania he was guilty of assault and battery. A couple of amusing surety of the Peace cases were then called up and heard by the court, end thus ended the July Quarter Ses sions of Huntingdon county. ALLEGIIENY SYNOD.—The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Allegheny will meet in El un tingdon, on Wednesday, Sept. 4th, 1878. It is composed of the ministers and a lay dele gate from each charge in the counties of Hun tingdon, Fulton, Bedford, Somerset, Cambria, Indiana and Clearfield. There will be about 55 clergymen and 45 laymen. The ses sion will continue five or six days, and is open to all. Preaching every evening, and neighboring pulpits supplied, if desired, on Sabbath. Special discourses on ordination, education and missions, will be delivered.— This will be the 37th session of this Synod, but the first ever held in Huntingdon, and will afford the public a good opportunity of be coming better acquainted with the "mother church of the Reformation." DIED OF HIS INJURIES.—Mr. Dtvid C. Kauffman, who was injbtred at Hefright's quarry, near Mapleton, on Wednesday morn ing, a full account of which appeared in last week's JouaNat, died the following morning about 9 o'clock. Mr. Kauffman was a sober, industrious man and a good citizen, and his death, in the prime of manhood, will be deep ly regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his untimely and shocking death. The sorrow-stricken family have the sympathies of the whole community in their terribly sad bereavement. PICNIC AND RE-UNION.—The second meeting and first bi-eunial re-union of the teachers, directors and pupils of the old Hook School House, on Spruce Creek, in Franklin township, was held on Thursday of last week. Quite a large number of people were in attend twee to enjoy the exercises and partake of the festivities of the occasion, including five of the former teachers and a large number of the former pupils, of different ages, and of both sexes, mane of them from different portions of t W.: and other states, to renew once more the scones of the past, and revive the many pleas ant memories of their youthful days. This time honored building once stood near what was then known as the old "Hook Tav ern," from which it derives its name, a little over half a mile from the village of Spruce Creek, at the foot of Tussey's mountain, on the edge of a grove of pine, and thicket of laurel, a wild and picturesque spot, where for many years in the good old times of yore, the boys and girls of the neighborhood, long since grown to the years of.ruanhood and woman hood, were wont to assemble for the purpose of receiving the rudiments of an education. The building was abandoned about the year 1852, and its place supplied by a new one more in accordance with the requirements of the present age, not far from the old site, and nothing remains but a few stones of the old foundation, to mark the spot where the build ing once stood. The idea of a re-union seems to have origi nated with D. Caldwell, Esq., of Huntingdon, a former pupil and teacher in the old school house, and on the 11th of August, 1876, the first meeting was held, which was largely at tended, quite a number having responded to the invitation, and after some consultation on the part of those present and the citizens of the neighborhood it was concluded to hold a similar meeting on the same spot. The meet ing was a success, beyond the most sanguine expectations, a large number of invited guests and citizens being present. The families of John S. Isett, Esq , David Henderson, John Ebberts, and William Wray, being most con venient were the most largely represented, and to their generous hospitality and untiring efforts the company were largely indebted for the ample accommodations afforded and the sumptuous repast provided for the occasion. By 10 o'clock in the forenoon the old pine forest was alive with men, women and chil dren, horses, wagons and carriages, each bear ing their contribution to the general store. It was a time of feasting, hilarity and merri ment, and yet a somewhat solemn and impres sive scene. Hoary haired men and women met together and greeted the companions of their childhood, for the first time since they played together on the old echol house green, a half century ago. They exchanged glad greetings; they talked of the past •, they rehearsed old scenes and incidents of boyhood and girlhood, and there, amid the sounding aisles of that grand old forest, they played over again the well-remembered games of "town ball" and "mumble-the-peg"and "ring around the rosy," with the zest of the olden time, and had it not been for a slight falling of rain, which inter fered to a considerable extent with the exer cises, the day would have been one of unin terrupted enjoyment. And such an entertain ment as was there provided! The improvised tables literally groaned beneath their burden of good things. There was bread of the whitest and sweetest; butter, such as the markets of Huntingdon have not witnessed within the last twelve months, roast ham of the finest variety, roasted turkeys and chick ens in abundance ; pies, cakes, preserves, hot cottee, lemonade and ice cream, of which all partook to satiety, and the "fragments" that remained would have made a feast for as many more. . . . . After the repast was ended and the tables were cleared, the meeting was called to order by D. Caldwell, and the list of invited guests was called, between forty and fifty of whom responded, including five of the original teach ers, G. W. Reynolds, of Franklin township, J. D. Sankey, of Pittsburgh, John A. Hunter, of Half Moon, and D. Caldwell and R. McDivitt, of Huntingdon, the first named being the oldest in point of time, having taught in 1839-40, and the last named the youngest, having taught in 1852-3, the old house having been vacated during his term, and the new one occupied. The exercises were at this time materially interfered with by the ominous mut terings of the distant thunder and the patter ings of a few rain drops, the precursors of the coming shower, which caused some confusion, and prompted some to leave the ground for fear of a wetting, but the greater portion preferred remaining till the exercises were over, and accordingly sheltered themselves as best they could beneath the trees and umbrellas till the shower had abated, when on motion, a permanent organization was effected by the election of D. Caldwell, Esq., as Chairman, and R. McDivitt as Secretary, authorizing the Chairman to appoint a committee of arrangements for future action. A number of congratulatory letters were read from persons who had been invited but were unable to attend, including one from J. S. Barr, Esq., formerly of Huntingdon, and now of Benton, who had been a teacher there some thirty four years ago. The call for speeches was responded to by Messrs. Reynolds, Hunter, and McDivitt—Mr. Sankey having left the ground in anticipation of the rain—in brief and appropriate addresses. Their remarks, though for the most part impromptu, were well-timed and admirably suited to the occa sion, being all in somewhat the same strain, that of a happy blending of mirthfulness, gravity and pathos. They spoke feelingly of the past and reviewed the changes that had taken place in men and things. They rehears ed the scenes of other days, spoke in language touchingly eloquent of those who bad fallen in life's conflict, and pointed the survivors hopefuliy to the shadowy and dim future, and to a final re-union and revival of death-broken friendships in "the Better Land," the remarks eliciting alternately smiles and tears from the audience. Messrs. Hunter and McDivitt each produced the original list of their pupils, and each in turn called the roll of the boys and girls that had been in attendance during their terms of teaching, numbering about fifty each, not more than eight or ten of whom were present to answer "here." At the close of these exercises the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the Chairman, the only regret expressed being that the day had been too short, and the weather too un favorable for the enjoyment which the occasion would otherwise have afforded. THE MIDDLE PENIII,ENTEARY.—OUT worthy townsman and efficient State Senator, lion. H. G. Fisher, has reason to feel a pride over his success in securing the passage of a law for the erection of a Middle Penitentiary. The necessity for such a building is apparent to every one who has given any attention to the prisco statistics of the State. Both the Eastern and Western penitentiaries are crowd ed beyond their capacity, and for some time past their enlargement has been asked for and urged by those having them in charge. Sen ator Fisher, who is a member of the commit tee appointed to visit the prisons throughout the state, saw the urgent necessity for a new building, and he at once set about to accom plish this end. He drew a bill and read it in his place in the Senate, but on account of some opposition to the measure it "hung firs" until near the close of the session when, by his persistent efforts and able advocacy of the measure, it passed finally and received the sig nature of the Governor. Mr. Fisher is the father of this bill, and, as we said in the be ginning of this item, he has a right to feel proud over its success. Our members of the House, Messrs. Port and Dewees, it is but jus tice to say, assisted in its passage through that branch of the Legislature. The bill, in brief, is as follows SecnoN 1. That the district shall consist of the counties of Adams, Bradford, Blair, Bedford, Cam bria, Clinton, Centre, Clearfield Columbia, Cum berland, Dauphin, Fulton, Franklin, Lyooming, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin, M'Kean, Montour, Northumberland, Potter, Perry, Somerset, Sulli van, Snyder, Tioga and Union (in all 25 counties a ith a population of about 1,000,000.) Sec. 2. To be called the "Middle Penitentiary," and is to be "capable of holding 250 prisoners." EEc. 3. Seven commissioners are to be "appoint ed by the Governor outside the district," who are to select a site of "not less than 15 acres." to agree upon plans and make contracts for building. In case of vacancy the Governor is to fill it. Sec. 4 The plan of the Eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia is to be followed. Sec. 5. Appropriates $lOO,OOO toward the work. Sec. 6. W hen completed the courts to send crim inals to this penitentiary. . . . SEc, 7. When completed the commissioners are to surrender their trust to a board of five trustees to be appointed by the Governor "from the distri - st in which the penitentiary is erected" to serve for 3 years each. Sec. 8. Commissioners not to receive compen sation "except actual expenses," nor to partici pate in contracts. The commission are authorized to employ a clerk and the necessary officers. In accordance with the third section of the bill the Governor, on Saturday last, appointed the following gentlemen commissioners to se lect a site for the erection of the building: Hon. Henry Rawle, Erie - Henry Howell, Geo. I. Young, and Charles Thompson Jones, Phil adelphia ; J. K. Moorehead and John Paul, Pittsburg ; Wm. Nolan, Reading. We presume the commission will proceed at once to organize, after which they will visit the different eligible localities and at an early a day as possible select a site for the building. As Huntingdon presents superior advantages over any other town in the district, we see no reason why it should not be chosen. We be lieve it will be. SPORTING NOTES Several blooded dogs are in training by Huntingdon sportsmen. In Mifflin county, one day recently, a man named James T. Aiken, killed two weasels at one throw. "Long Boy," an Altoona trotting bout., has been sold, on private terms, to a gentleman of Baltimore, Md. Nine members of the Detroit rowing clot posed througl► this place on Pacific Express no Friday morning last, for Nowark, N. J. Mice are said to make excellent bass bait. And uow we expect to hear of a corner in mice—or mice in a corner and sonic fellow trying to gobble them alive. Last week the bass hit lively. We hear of several fine strings having been taken, but we believe our friend, S. G. Whittaker, esq., is still entitled to the "blue ribbon" as the champion bass fisherman hereways, he having caught thirteen, one day last week, averaging in weight from one and a half to three pounds. From present indications there will be a match between the rifle clubs of Osceola and Clearfield at no distant day. The challenge comes from the Osccolians, and the Clearfield ers accept, and say they will shoot any dis tance from one hundred to one thousand yards. The river shores are lined with young bass from 2 to 4 inches long, and the prospect Esil next year's fishing is highly encouraging. The young bass have a black tail, and are so easily told from common bait fish that the man or boy who does not put them back when caught ought to be turned into a tadpole or mullet.— Lewistown Gazette. It is said you "can-it catch a bird with chaff," but it was demonstrated the other day at the lower dam, that you can catch one on a fish hook. A lad who was fishing down there, af ter baiting his hook with a red worm threw it upon the ground, and when in the act of cast ing it into the water a bird took hold of it and was securely hooked.

A FREAK OF NATURE.—REMARKABLE CAVE DISCOVERED NEAR ALEXANDRIA, HUNTING DON COUNTY.—A correspondent, writing . to the Harrisburg Patriot, from Alexandria, under date of August 20, gives the particulars of the discovery of an extensive cave in Porter township. We very much doubt the truth of the writer, but we publish his letter for what it is worth : "Some time ago a Mr. Neff, residing near Alexandria, Huntingdon county, this state, went to his well to got a drink, and found it dry. He then went down into the well to make repairs, and was much surprised to find not a pint of water, and the bottom fallen out. A cool breeze blew up strong enough to rustle the leaves of a tree standing near. He tied a lantern to a rope one hundred feet long and let it down and as the lantern still burned he rightly concluded that the air was pure. He then procured a spliced rope three hundred feet ►n length and to the endattached a basket containing a lantern, a dog and a cat. lle let them dow, striking bottom at two hundred and niaety feet. At the end of six hours, the basket was brought up. The lantern was still burning, and the only visible effect on the dog and cat was chilliness. The next day the owner of the well accompanied by a trusty neighbor, Mr. Lefford, descended to the bot tom. What was their surprise to find an im mense cave, stretching miles and miles in every direction. Stalagmites and stalactites of magnificent gorgeousness lent beauty and variety to the otherwise tomb-like scene. Here and there a flowing stream of water rippled over stony beds, while thousands and thousands of hats fluttered their clammy wings, surprised at the intrusion of man. Petrified seashells of a hundred varieties strewed the floors and protruded from the strata. After spending ten or twelve hours of continuous wandering, during which time they penetrated beneath and beyond Alexan dria, and discovered a vein of nickel ore and *nugget of metal resembling antimony, they returned to the surface, where their half stricken wives clasped them to their bosoms, thinking they had been lost. It is supposed that this cave is coneeted with those at War rior Ridge and Sinking Valley, only a few miles away. Specimens of the nickel ore have been sent to Philadelphia and analyzed and pronounced superior to the nickel of either Lancaster or Germany, the only two places on the globe where it is now mined." Montgomery has determined to close out his entire stack of men's,youth's and boys' ready made clothing. He will now sell very low to close out. Don't fail to call on him when you want clothing.

Glum, Esq.—Dear Sir : Your favor of Jan. 20th, '77, just received, and I thank you for the information therein. I have been giving the mare a tonic powder in tte morning and a little salt petre, pulverized in a mash, at night, and using Liniment freely down her back, loins and limbs. I procured the quart bottle from Johnson, Holloway & Co., and am satisfied that the trouble acro.s the loins and kidneys is fast disappearing. The stifle lame ness, I am pretty well satisfied, has been done for sometime. I shall give her the purge-ball, (which I know how to do), and then with the powders put her in good condition—mean while trying'your Liniment on the stifle trouble or in the loins and hip, whichever it may be. To prove that your Liniment and the rest are doing her good—a week ago she was "all gone" behind ; on Saturday night, while walking her, she broke away, took a trot up and down a large lot, equal to about a three mile trot, and then struck a beeline for her old home. Her former owner was surprised on Sunday to see how she had improved, and said :—"Darned if I don't think you will get that mare all right, and if you do, why, I'm stuck!" Again thanking you for your prompt reply, I am respectfully yours, GEO. K. CRUMBLCK. P. S.—lf the mare gets all right, you will bear from me.—G. K. C. Sold by all druggists. Send for pamphlet Da.

ANOTHER SAD OCCURRENCE. —Mr Ben jamin Norton, an esteemed citizen of Newton Hamilton, and Recording Steward of the Methodist church at that place, was seized with a sudden hemorrhage of the lungs yester day afternoon, which in a few minutes proved fatal. He had taken his seat iu the Taberna cle to listen to preaching, but feeling faint arose and proceeded across Circle No. 2, toward his tent, before reaching which he sank down exhausted and bled profusely. He was conveyed into a neighboring tent, and medical aid summoned, but nothing could he lone for his relief, and within fifteen minutes he breathed his last. He had been in feeble health for some years. On Thursday of last week he removed to his tent on the camp ground, expecting to derive benefit from a residence of a few weeks in the woods, but his Heavenly Father had prepared a more glorious home for him in the Paradise above and now he is with the redeemed in that better country.—Camp Daily, of Friday. IMPORTANT TO DRUOGISTS.—Judge Dean, at the recent term of the Blair county court, in s,tntencing the Tyrone druggists for selling liquor without license, took occasion to remark substantially as follows : "Druggists are authorized to sell liquor for medical purposes, subject, however, to indict ment. A physician's prescription is not of itself a safeguard for the druggist. Tf the latter, even on the prescription of a regular physician, sells liquor to persons of known intemperate habits, or to those who are known to use liquor as a beverage, he is liable to indictment, and if found guilty will be punish ed to the extent of the law. In short, in the opinion of the court, a druggist who sells liquor for any purpose whatever, or upon the prescription of the most eminent physician in the county, does so at his own risk."
