LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen . Pick your steps. Have you rented ? Mud, and lots of it. Rheumatism twinges. Repair the man traps. Do you date it 1879 or 1880? Altoona has a commercial college. Have you hung up a new calendar. New Year's day was unusually quiet. See that the crossings are kept clean. Congressman Fisher is in Washington. Sunday was a good day to stay in the house And now, Altoona wants a street commis sioner. Sunday funerals Lereaw•ays"are largely at tended. You will profit much by reading the adver tisements. The week of prati•er is being observed in this place. Our hotel keepers are preparing fur a throng Court week. School satchels, as low as 15 cents, at the JOURNIL Store.

' Butter twenty-two cents per pound ; wagon grease-at the same price. "As the dayslengthen,the cold strengthens ; " and your coal bills ditto. Gil. Greenberg has become manager of the "Juniata Minstrel Troupe." Communion services were held at the Bap tist church Sunday morning. Harry Jacobs of the Globe spent his days off at his borne in Hollidaysburg. Parties who stored away winter apples re port thew rotting, hereaways. Owners of ice houses do not wear a smile that is "child like and bland." The County Auditors will soon present their work to the people of the county. And now, it is parlor archery. The new game hasn't reached Huntingdon. A boy with a penny horn can make as much noise as a house full of old maids. Alr Bell assumed the functions of his office, sheriff of Blair county, last Monday. And now some of onr good little boys can't behave themselves, even at funerals. By handing twenty-two cents over the counter you can now get a dozen of eggs. Notwithstanding the holiday season is over travel continues brisi on the Central road. 'Union services are being held by the Luth eran and Reformed congregations this week. Mothers are becoming more careful of their little ones, since the recent deaths from croup. It is wrong to stop your team at street crossings. You ain't that kind of a man, are Sou ? The principal thoroughfares of our town were vast mortar beds the latter part of last week. Applicants for tavern licenses will have a hearing on the 3d Monday, 19th day of the month. Slimmer and slimmer grow the Sunday Schools, all of which is blamed on the bad weather. "Swelled heads" is the usual remark of several of our 3 oung bloods every Sunday morning. The Bedford Springs have been leased by Messrs. Jolin Darby and Win. Lambert, of Maryland. The "business boom" has surely reached the physicians, for they all seem to be busy at their work. The Atlantic East, on New Year's evening, had several of Brigham Young's grandchildren for passengers. At the Court of Quarter Sessions next week, quite a number of Commonwealth cases will be disposed of. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon says that she does not intend to take advantage of Leap Year privileges. Don't stop advertising because the holidays are over. It is the persistent advertiser that makes the money. The school children are at their books again, and we hope with greater vim than before the holidays. Thomas G. Isenberg, esq., of Morris town ship, has been appointed Mercantile Appraiser for the ensuing year. The Philadelphia Times says that the wages of the employees of the P. R. R. are to be ad vanced in the Spring. The Central Pennsylvania Dental Associa— tion met io this plac3 on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Next week is Court week, and we would like our friends to call on us. Our latch string always hangs out. "Lengthened sweetness, long drawn out," was plenty hereabouts, but none of an un common length that we heard of. The observatory on the James A. Brown house, Penn street, makes a good roosting place for the pigeons of the town. As this is the week of prayer, would it not be well to ask that a strong Healthy one be given for delinquent subscribers? Some midnight prowler despoiled Mrs. Wil loughby's clothrs-line of several shirts and other garments, on Tuesday night. Wallace Bruce's history of "The Yosemite" can be had at the JOURNAL Store for $1.25. The book is gotten up in good style. Read carefully the interview between Mr. Gary of our town and a Boston .Herald re porter, to be found in another cglumn. 'Tis said that the prospects of the new post office project, in Altoona, are brighter, and that an appropriation will be made. Mr. 3. F. Evans has been chosen by the Di rectors to teach the scholars in scho,l room No. 9, formerly taught by Wilson Evans. Strengthen your voice and remove Coughs, Colds and Hoarseness, by taking Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Price 25 cents per bottle. The Philipsburg Journal says that James Gwin and his sister Mary, of Huntingdon, were visitors at that place during the holidays. Services will soon be held in the lecture room of the new Baptist church, as the work men are busily engaged on its completion. Excursion rates ended last Saturday ; con sequently those of our citizens who were away have returned to their several homes. The Sheriff will bold his levee, this day one week, when he will sell you a property cheap, if you have the wherewithal to "plank down." Keep the little ones' feet dry and out of the damp easterly winds, if you wish to save them from an attack of the dread monster, croup. Thirty-one hundred and twenty-five dollars Was the atnonnt bid for the Penn Street Hall en Thursday last. The bid was not accepted. Reports still come to us from various sec tions of this and neighboring counties that diphtheria is prevailing to an alarming extent. A few of our citizens are "under the Wea ther" with the rheumatism, and as long as this dampness keeps up they ►u.+y expect to Ice cream will be a scarce article hereaways next summer, if it don't, r.,ret cold enottzli to make "congealed liquid" of the pr, - _, , er thicl:-- uess. When you bear the sweet notes of a violin from a wood shed on Mifflin street, you tu:iy know it is our Charlie that is drawing the bow. A horse, loose on the streets, Saturday, created some terror among the female pede,- trians who happened to be iu the neighbor hood. Frank Fry, of the Newport News, was mar ried on Tuesday a week ago, to a Miss Mary Schofield, of Harrisburg. May his tribe in crease. The schools of our town having resumed operations again, there will be no break du ring the term again, except from unavoidable cause. The man that discovered hard coal and its uses has surely been a benefactor to his race. and a monument should be reared to 11. s memory. They say that the statement of the expendi tuNs of the County Alms-house for the past year, will present a favorable showing for the tax-payers. The monthly tinion Temperance Prayer Meeting will be held in the First M. E. church next Sunday at 3:45 P. at. The public are cordially invited. You ain't that kind of a christian that stays at home on Sunday on account of wet weather. If you are, you didn't go to church Sunday evening. The Fifth Semi-annual Convention of the Pennsylvania Millers' State Association will be held at the Lochiel HOWL Harrisburg, on Tuesday of next week. The newly elected county officers were sworn in on Monday. We wouldn't mind be ing "sworn" if there was something hanging at the end of the string. Duricg the past year thirteen aged persons Cied in Huntingdon, their ages aggregating 921 years. The average age of each one was 70 years and 10 months. What's the matter? Huntingdon has not been visited by a show of any kind, except horn s talent, since the 19th of December. Are they "handing in their checks." lion. D. 11. Anderson, member of the St•ite Legislature from Bedford comity, died at his residence in Cumberland Valley, ou tile Ist inst., in the 49th year of his age. The pupils of the country schools may ex pect a "treat" this week, for a great many teachers laid in a supply for that purpose, before leaving town last Saturday. We arc indebted to our friend, Wm. Africa, esq., for a large slice of a ninety-seven pound pumpkin raised by him last season. It WJS as yellow as gold and very toothsome. Mr. Joseph Smith, the aged father of our druggist friend, S. S. Smith, died at the resi dence of the latter, in this place, on Tuesday morning, at the ripe old age of 88 years. Who was that young man who took a "go as-you-please" walk into a mud hole, Satur day night, thereby spoiling his Sunday clothes. "Captain Parker" was too much fur bitn. To-day, (Thursday) sixty-five years ago, Gen. Jackson with his hand full of men be hind a breabt work of cotton bales gave the English an extra touch of "Rail Columbia." Some drunken brute quartered in our press room on Sunday night, and on Monday morn ing the stench of rot-gut whiskey was suffi cient to impregnate the air for a square around. It is more than probable that the printers of Altoona will gorge themselves at a sump tuous "set-out" on the evening of the 17th inst.—the anniversary of the birth of Ben Franklin. Over $3,300,000 of counterfeit money was gobbled up by detectives last year, whilst du ring the same time, 500 persons were captured and punished for having the "shiners" in their possession. The amount of goods carried by the several railroad companies for Adams Express, have fallen off considerable since the holidays, es peciallyon Broad Top,and we suppose "Peeps" is quite glad of it. The Huntingdon JOURNAL entered upon the forty-fourth year of its existence with the is sue of yesterday. It is an excellent weekly newspaper, and ably conducted, both editori ally and locally.—Tohnstown Tribune. The young miss, mentioned iu our last is sue, as taking wearing apparel that didn't belong to her, is now in durance vile.— The bad traits of her kleptomania act will be made clear to her some day next week. This is the first January fur one hundred and three years that the Legislature didn't meet. Let us give thanks ; whilst the old rooster who has been receiving State "does" year after year, rages with a vengeance. If this rainy weather should continue much longer Council will be obliged to establish a line of ferry boats at some of the street cross ings for the use of pedestrians whose business compels them to cross over the seas of mud. The committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the J•iniata Valley Campmeeting Association have had their 'little piece," which appeared in two of our town papors, published by request in the Lewistown Ga zette. Many physicians are prescribing Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup because they know it is a good remedy for children and is warranted not to contain either Opium, Morphia, Paregoric or Laudanum the base of the usual soothing rem edies. Last week we forgot to note that Mr. Gains M. Brumbaugh, who is teaching school at Stewartsville, Westmoreland county, was cir culating amongst friends in this place during the holiday week. He returned to his post on Sunday. If Mr. James Clark, Express MesQenger on Broad Top railroad, continues to mend as fast as he has been doing within the past two weeks his familiar countenance will be seen once again at his post of duty within the next ten days. As the season for sales is drawing nigh, you will do well to remember that the JOURNAL office is the only place in Huntingdon where you can get illustrated sale bills. All work done on the shortest notice, and at very mod erate prices. A neat new paling fence now surrounds the school building, and in the near future will either receive a coat of paint or whitewash. For the sake of the beauty of the new build ing and its surroundings, we hope it will not be the latter. Jackson Harmon, steward of the Alms house, on Christmas Day feasted the inn►ates with turkey and chicken, accompanied with the usual side dishes. The way they made the good things disappear manifested that they relished it. Miss Hull, of Tyrone, who, for two months past, has been giving instructions in short hand writing to a class, in this place, finished up the course last Saturday evening. And now, for can not throw a stone without stri king a phonographer. The Auditors, Commissioners, Directors of the Poor, and Treasurer, are now engaged in overhauling the accounts of the past year,and in the course of two or three weeks will have completed their onerous task and have their report ready fur the public. A York county man, the other day, paid in to the Treasury $13.95 for swearing. What a big pocket book our borough treasury would have if the law was enforced here. Some of our young men can't open their mouths un less an oath comes out first. We acknowledge the receipt of a compli mentary admission ticket to the exhibition to be given by the Franklin County Poultry and Pet Stock Association in Chambersburg on the 13th, 14th and 15th inst. The Associa tion offer casu premiums to the amount of $6OO. Blair county must be a good hunting coun try. On Thursday last Solomon Boone shot a panther measuring eleven feet teu inches and a half from the end of the nose to the tip of the tail, and on Friday Win. Wright shot a fine black bear weighing a trifle over 200 pounds. A church festival will be held at Shaver's Creek Bridge, by the members of the Bethel Presbyterian church, on Thursday and Friday evenings next, Jan. 15th and 16th, to which all in that neck o' timber are respectfully in vited to come and partake of the delicacies of the season, at a very moderate price. Are the "borough fathers" aware that some of the pavements of "ye ancient town" need looking after. On nearly every street, and especially on Mifflin, large pools of water, from one to four inches in depth, spring up after a heavy rain, or the melting of the snow and ice. Such things ought not to be. Work has been commenced on the new de pot, at Tyrone. The building will be of brick, and larger than the old one burnt some time ago, and will be arranged to accommodate the office of the Superintendent of the Tyrone division, Adams' Express and baggage room. May let izt the time set for its cot:•pletion. One hundred persons, 'tis said, attended the celebration of the eighty-fifth anniversary of the birth 'ACV. Jno. Cresswell, at Petersburg, on Tuesday last, amongst tvbuui was Hon. J. Simpson A frica, of our town. Mr. Cresswell was born in Alexandria, this county, in 1794, and cast his first ••little for James Madis.on. •J•I; , cui,r_l•,:,dcut u! . the Al touna Tribune is in error in stating that Paul O. Decker is visiting his old stamping ground in this place. Pant is not here, and he told a gentleman of our town, who saw him in the \Vest, a few weeks ago, that he "did not ex pect to be in Iluntini„rdon until Gabriel blew his horn.'' This i 3 the year of double holidays. The first one, February 22d conies on a Sunday. as does also 4th of July, and they will be ob sem,' on Saturday and Sunday. Christmas coins on a Saturday, and with the day follow ing will make a double one also. The only exception is Thanksgiving Day which will conic on a Thursday. The Junior Greys band last evening sere naded Mr. J. A. Parker and wife—married some time since—at the residence of the hus bamrs mother, corner of Tenth avenue and Fourteenth street. Mrs. Parker was formerly Miss Annie E. Caldwell, of Mount Union, Hun ingdon county. The band was invited in and served to an elegant supper.—Altoona Sun of Saturday. Queer, isn't it, that the correspondent from Huntingdon to the Altoona Tribune always waits until the several papers of the town are issued before he sends in his batch of informa tion. Perhaps the poor fellow was either born tired, or the temptation of a red hot stove is too much for him to leave his seat and hunt up his own news. The question is, who is the talented gentleman? A large buck was found lying near the rail road track, in the vicinity of what is known as "Nigger Cut," it couple of miles east of this place, on Saturday morning last, by a man named Peter Reed. The presumption is that the deer had been chased by dogs, and in its efforts to escape leaped over the precipice at that lac e and broke its neck. It is said to have urea an unusually large one. Three of Altoona's crack marksmen, accord ing to the Tribune, are desirous to "shoot against any three men, or any one man for twenty-five or forty dollars, at fifty or seventy yards " We think they can he accommodated if they will agree to make the sum $lOO.OO and the distance one hundred yards. Any com munication addressed to this office, in relation to the matter, will receive attention. Next. Monday the ladies in charge of the West Huntingdon M. E. Chapel Festival will open the doors of the Pt.nn Street Ilall and display the good things they have for the "inner man," to which they invite one and all to come and partake of. The rooms will be tastefully arranged, and it is expected that all who attend will enjoy a pleasant time. tit>, fill yourself, and thus help them along. We are requested to say that the Juniata Minstrels, composed of home talent, some ev ening seat week, will give an entertainment in Moebus' Hall, for the benefit of Wm. E. Port, the young who was so seriously injured on the railroad a few weeks ago. The object is a laudable one, aud on the occasion of their appearance the house should be crowded to overflowing. Reserved seats can be had at Reads' drug store. Wouldn't this item read well to our people if it was true : "Our industrial establishments commence the New Year with plenty of work and good prospects for the future. We will soon gain* a reputation as a manufacturing town." It could be made '•true blue" if our monied men were inclined to put their hands on their purse strings and shell out the shekels. We have every facility for becoming atirst- class centre for tnanufacturing purposes A United States mint official recently stated to a Philadelphia reporter that in the South pennies are little known, the smallest coin being a five cent piece. In the far west there is but little call for the penny, but when one gets to St. Louis, or east of that point, then the penny becomes a familiar friend. Where ever there are six cent fares on the street cars there is a demand from that city for pennies. The horse car companies re limited to $2O per day. Last year was walking year ; now it is leap year. In this connection we give notice to the fair sex of our town that all the gentle men employed around this establishment are married men, with one exception, and he is under the lead of a West Huntingdon damsel. We give this timely warning ; so that we will not be obliged to secure the services of five or six special policemen to stern the flow of beauty that would,want to leap our two flights of stairs, and to save the few hairs remaining in our Leads. Parents, whose sons are allowed to roam the streets at night at will, should look after their haunts ere it is too late. We know of the conduct of some boys that is calculated to bring much sorrow to mothers if a halt is not soon called. Remember that in a town of this siza there are places that only need the light of publicity to make them a stench ►n the nostrils of honest people. Look after your offspring, parents, and we jog your mem ory that manhood is not formed at night in questionable places. The large Dry Goods and Notion dealers, Hess, Rodgers & Chambers, 411, Market street, Philadelphia, are making extensive arrange ments fur an increased business this year.— Their house has been considerably enlarged and improved, and will be stocked with the choicest goods in their line to be found in the markets of this country and of Europe. Our young film!, W Oakes Cunningham, of our town, is a salesman in this house, and we be speak for him a share of patronage from the merchant readers of the JOURNAL. We are in receipt of the "Little Folk's Reader," a new juvenile publication just is sued by D. Lothrop A; Co., Boston, and edited by the editors of "Wide Awake" and "Baby land." The hook is intended to supply a want long felt for fresh reading in the public schools of the land. It has already been adopted and is is general use in the public schools of Boston. The contents are made up cf simple little stories, poems and object les sons, highly illustrated with pretty pictures, the whole of which cannot fail to interest the " , little folks." It is furnished at 75 cents a year, but a liberal reduction will be made when ordered in large numbers. The Hollidaysburg correspondent of the Altoona Tribune has the following to say of the shabby treatment given the Plimaix "fire kiddies" by the property owners of that burg, and in the whole we considered it the meanest kind of treatment as they, the property holders, are the first to call upon the boys for help when their timbered possessions are in danger : "The Phoenix boys at their entertainment took in on Saturday night one dollar and sixty cents, and on Monday night fifteen cents.— They made the fifteen-cent man a life mem ber, and talk of purchasing. the hall with the money. They feel gratified to the Allegheny street people for their patrons.ge. Since penciling the death of Flora Lamp, the Death Angel, on Saturday afternoon, en tered the home circle of Mr. Gus. Letterman, and carried away his little son Louie, aged about four years, beyond the dark river.— Croup, in its severest form, was the cause of his death. The parents in their sore affliction have the heartfelt sympathies of friends and neighbors in their sad and unexpected be reavement, and we know they fully realie. that they shall meet their little one gone be fore "in the sweet by and by." Little Louic was generally known in his neighborhood as a bright and wiu.oine child, and won the hearts of all persons, both old and young, that he came in contact with, and we, in our daily walks shall miss the bright and cheery coun tenance of our little friend, but the Master who "death all things well" has called him to his home above. Since our last issue, the insatiate reaper, Death, has crossed the threshold of our friend, Isaac Lamp, Church street, and gathered in the pet of the family, little Flora. Flora took very ill on Saturday a week ago, with mem branous croup, which increased in violence until Friday morning, when the spirit of the little sufferer left the body and winged its flight to the bosom of her God. Flora Lamp lived in this sin-stricken world but brief five years. She was the centre of tenderest love to many hearts, and none could see the child without being attracted by her winsome ways. The shaft of the insatiate archer was a cruel one indeed, but the child is now among the immortal ones, hard by the throne of Him who idthe days of his mortality folded the little ones to His heart, which compassed all man kind. Our hope is, that in the hour of their bitter sorrow, may the stricken parents be comforted by Him who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me." About one o'clock; New Year's morning, several of our boys assembled in the rear of Gahegan's blacksmith shop, near Penn and Seventh streets, and commenced "shooting out" the old year, using in lieu of a cannoa, a piece of gas pipe that they had picked up somewhere. The m;ssile of war was loaded and fired oir several time] with entire satis faction to the cannoniers, but the last time it was fired it recoiled with great force, penetra ting through a coal shed, a nail keg, and sped across Seventh street with lightning speed striking the rysidence of Mrs. Decker, at the side of a second-story wiadow, tearing a hole in the weather boarding about eighteen inches long. The concusdon and the tlillingplaster ing awoke a daughter of Mrs. Decker who was asleep in the room at the time, and had the pipe struck the building endways, it is more than likely she would have been killed. The distance passed over, after passing through the two sides of the shed and the nail keg. is near about seventy-five feet. This is a warn ing to boys not to play with fire arms of any kind, whether they be gas pipes, cannons. old army muskets, or worn out pistols, for it is not known when they will shoot the wrong way,and it is to be wondered at that some one of the party concerned in this Year's racket, was not killed outright_ A reader of the JOURNAL informs us that Our esteemed friend, Dr. J. Aubrey Crewitt, formerly of this town, but now of Ilohertsdale, this county, came near his death on Friday afternoon last, by taking an overdose of hy drate of chloral. His information is to the effect that the Doclor had been suffering in tense pain with neuralgia in his teeth, and from weakness, had been confined to his bed for several days. On Friday, the nerve of one tooth was extracted by Dr. Rhodes, of Saxton, who cauterized the socket. The pain then became unbearable, and to ease it, he took a large dose of hydrate of chloral, and in his weakened condition, having eaten nothing for four days, he was in a few moments uncon scious, but aroused himself enough to tell his wife what to do in the matter. After the alarm was given that he was dying, several gentlemen came to her assistance, and they started the Doctor on a seven hours go-as-you please tramp up and down the garden walk, to keep him awake, the which they were suc cessful in doing. About midnight, Drs. Hun ter and Brennemin arrived, when they took charge of him, and he is now on a fair way of recovery. We congratulate the Doctor upon his safe deliverance from the very jaws of death, and suppose lie will remember to the end of his life his experience with hydrate of chloral, and the seven-hours tramp which scored him between 35 and 40 miles. GARY'S RAILWAY SIGNAL.—Thd many friends of Mr. W. W. Gary, in this place, will be pleased to learn that his magnetic railway signal, one of which, on a small scale, he exhibted at Henry & Co.'s crossing, in this place, a mouth or two ago, is meeting with favor and being adopted by the leading rail road companies it: New England. The signal does all, and more, than Mr. Gary claimed for it, the magnetic machine working under water just as well as it does in a dry atmos phere. Mr. Gary is now in Boston, where he is arranging for the extensive manufacture of his railway signal to supply the immediate demand for it. In order that his host of friends here may know how he is succeeding with his inventions, we cannot more fully enlighten them on this subject than by pub lishing an interview between a representative of the Boston Herald and Mr. Gary, held in that city on Wednesday of last week : "Mr. Gary, will you explain to the Herald what you are doing at the present time, and how your railway signal is progressing ?" "Willingly, for I feel that I am now in a posi tion to speak with some degree of confidence on the magnetic railway signal—not that I have any better opinion of it than of my other magnetic in ventions, but because I have satisfied gentlemen who have had a large experience in electric sig nals for railways that I have proved in actual practice the claim I always made for my machines —that they would work. I suppose it may appear to you and to others that my progress has hereto fore been a slow one, but the delay has been alto gether in adapting my discovery to the most ready means of introducing it to the public, and that is by its application to the purpose of railway sig nals. My sole aim has been to so construct my magnetic railway signal that it would work under all conditions of weather, atmosphere, etc., and would not get out of order. The less complicated machinery is, you know ; that i , the fewer parts there be, the less liable it is to get out of order. I have succeeded in making my signal with so few complications that I know any mechanic who sees it once at work will say that there is nothing about it to get out of order. When I applied it to the track of TRH FITCHBVILG RAILROAD, some two weeks ago, I wasjust as well satisfied that it would work as I am to day ; but others were not, and had to be convinced by the evidence of their own senses and by personal irsvesti , ration. No one who has seen it, that I have heard of— and a great many have seen it—has any doubts of its performance. The gong was placed in the signal house near the junction of the tracks of the Fitchburg and Grand Junction roads, in Somer ville, and the instrument to operate it beside the track some three hundred feet east of the signal station ; and since it has been there I will venture to say that the tapet or lever-arm, which is placed beside the rail, was never touched by the flange of a wheel or the foot of a person without giving a response on the gong inside the house. The signal man in the house—who has the beat opportunity of knowing whether it works or not—says he would not be afraid to risk his life on it. When I first brought it to the attention of Mr. Adams, the superintendent of the Fitchburg Railroad, he said if I could do what I claimed, I had just the thing that all &he railways needed. But he said that, in any eTent, he would require a six months' trial before deciding to adopt it. That was natural enough, Mr. Adams based his estimate of my machine partly on . the performance of the electric machines that have been in use on railways for some years. He calculated that, while it might work well under favorable conditions, there might be cases where it would fail. You see that I had the impressions created by failures in the working of the electric signals to encounter. But I knew that what I had would work its way on its own intrinsic merits. Well, I may tell you the result in a few words. The machine has been working but two weeks, and has given such uncoalified satisfaction that Mr. Adams has given me the order to EQUIP 019 ENTIRE ItuAL WITH 311' SIGNALS, and I am about to enlarge my facilities of manu facture to fill the order. It has proved a wonder ful success, and has even exceeded my expecta tions. I will tell you about it. The box which contains the magnets, lever and armature, which are connected with the tapet at the side of the rail, is over ground beside the track. I had it placed there in that manner, as its use there would b only temporary in that particular place, and also because I could readily show the doubting Thomases that 1 had no battery concealed ander or over it. In the late snowstorm the snow was piled up on the box, and I had it tamped in ander the lever or tapet, so as to test its working powers in case of ice pressure or accumulation around it. It worked, however, as well as if it were entirely free of snow or ice; but the most curious thing was that, when the thaw took place and the box became filled with water, the machine worked on as if nothing-happened, sending its induced cur rents along the wires and operating the gong in the signal house, as if the box were only fille i with air. This has opened a new field of useful ness, which I shall take advantage of in operating submerged wires in my telegraphic system." "Your signal, then, as I underssand it, is only to ring a bell ahead at a crossing to warn of the approach of a train?" "That is what the signal I have had reference to does. But I told Mr. Adams I could every thing that was now done by the electric signal systems without the aid of a battery, and I am going to do it. Here arc the parts of a machine which I am about completing, and will soon attach to the Fitchhurg road, which will not Only ring a bell ahead, but :hoer a danger signal either to those about to cross the road, or to the engineer of an approaching train, as the case may be. It involves SOME CLOCKWORK MACHINERY, and is operated by a lever, to the end of which a weight is attached. A dPpression of the tapet on the track by the flange of a wheel passing over it raises the lever, wb:ch is held in that position by a magnet until the train has gone by, wheu the circuit is broke, the lever released, and the weight upon it operates a hammer which strikes a gong. and, at the same time, throws out a danger signal. I c moot now give you the full details of this machine, but only tell you enough to indicate what it will do. Mr. Adams has not seen it yet, but he tells me to put it on, having confidence, no doubt, that I can do what I claim I can do. "Have you made any progress with your tele graph machine?" "I have it now in such a form that once I can got the manufacture of the magnetic railway sig nal into shape, I will soon have it so perfected that it can be used for telegraphy at once. The sending of messages without the use of batteries, will, I think, find ready appreciation by the vari ous telegraph interests ot the country, if not of the world. If something unforseen does not occur, I should say that, inside of six months, I will have my magnetic telegraph machine in practical operation. I will place it in competition with the present system, fully satisfied that it will work its way." "How far can you send an induced current over wires by your telegraph machine ?" "I have not yet ascertained the limit, but the distance will depend largely on the strength of the magnets I use. Certainly 50 miles can be covered by qne machine, and, I think, 200 can be. But this is not altogether important, for I can have relays of permanent magnets, which, in re peating the movements made at the initial point, will project a current forward to another instru igent, which will act in like manner, so that I can, in this way, have continuous self-sustaining lines covering great distances." "Is there not some danger of the current losing force in a long distance, even with relays ?" "Not at all. I will show you. Here I take a single magnet, and send a current from it by a simple movement of the armature to an armature on a pile of magnets. The initial current is nece,:arily a very weak one, and you would hardly perceive it; but it will operate the arma ture on the pile of strong magnets, from which you can receive a shock that wil make you jump. THE WEAK CURRENT OPERATES THE STRONG CURRENT, • and hence, tnstead of losing power, I can gain it as Igo along, if need be. It is only a question of magnets." `•llo you mean to say that a very small magnet, by such manipulation, could be made to produce a greatly multiplied power from half a dozen or more strong magnets ?" "That's just what can be done." "Then your motor can be made a practical thing." "It never was otherwise in my mind; but in order to start a thing that would most readily bring me an income, I switched off on to the mag netic railway signal. But I have not been idle about the motor. I have an improved system of movement which you shall see in operation in good time. The principle is the same as that with which you are already familiar, but it is carried out in a way, and will work." _ _ "I see thii:t Prof. Morton of the Steven's Insti tute of New York classes you with Keely, and affects to look upon you as a humbug." "I have seen . his letter on the Edison light, in which my /latile occurs. I have no reply to make to it, or to the effusions of those scientific men who, having their science ready made for them, swear by it as a gospel that is infallible and can't be improved upon. I shall chow by my actions that what I claim will be accomplished. That, I think, will be the best answer to those scientific gentlemen, who, no doubt, honestly be lieve that they know it all, but whose assumption I shall take the liberty to question. It will not be long before my first answer to them will be rung from the railway crossings of New England and the United States. My second reply will be sent with lightning speed ver the telegraph wires of the country, obliging them by trans mitting their private messages in any direction they may want to send them. My thirti-. But I will say no more, about it at present.

WARRIOaSMARK WAIFS.— The citizens of Warriorsmark are hopeful their railroad will be finished in the near Waive. May their hopes be realized. Rev. Swallow, of Tyrone, preached in the M. E. Church and conducted watch meeting services on Wednesday night. Rev. Heckman, the pastor, is holding an interesting revival of religion. Mr. Henry Cupp, who lives two miles north of Warriorsmark, has lost four children with in a year, three having died within two weeks of diphtheria. Mr. and Mrs. Cupp have the sympathy of the neighborhood in their sad bereavement. I ast Saturday evening the Birmingham and War! iorsmark Literary Societies met at War riorscuark and engaged in a contest debate, and a large number of people assembled to hear the pent-up eloquence. The question de bated was : "A Republican Form of Govern went is Preferable to a Monarchical." Arm ative, H. 0. Love, G. W. Weston and H. H. Waite, of Warriorsmark. Negative, A. G. Grier, George Moore and Lloyd Owens, of Birmingham►. The chief disputants each ap pointed two judges and they Chose the fifth man, making it a fair 'decision, which was given in favor of Warriorsmark. The War riorsmark Society meets every Saturday eve ning ; it is a pleasant place to spend an evening. They offer to challenge any Society in Hun tingdon county to-engage in a contest debate. X. NAIL CUTTING IN EARLY DAYS —The first cut nails made in the central part of Pennsylvania were made in the town of Newry, this county, over fifty years ago. Mr. Robert McNamara, the father of Wm. McNamara, of Gaysport, brought a small handmachine from Philadelphia to that town, and made cut nails. Six pounds of nails, which sold at 25 cents per pound, were con sidered a big day's work on the machine.— liollidaysburg correspondent of the Tribune. An old resident of Altoona remembers back sixty years ago when nails were cut by a baud machine at Alexandria, Huntingdon county, by William Dean, a popular Irishman of that day. At that time Blair county was a part of Huntingdon county. Plenty of old residents of the county will remember the fact. Our informant thinks that if the Hol lidaysburg correspondent of the Tribune will refer to Judge Caldwell, of Gaysport, be will remember the circumstance as we have noted it.—Altoona can. Can the "oldest inhabitant" of Alexandria, give us any information in regard to this matter, as there is a difference of opinion between the above paragraphs. SCARLET' FEVER —A "Worn;ng to Pa rents and Teachers.—ln several sections of the State scarlet fever has been raging among children with great fatality. Within a short time a number of cases has been reported and several deaths have occurred in this city. This warning should not be overlooked by teach ers in the schools and parents. When the dis ease attacks a family the parents should see to it that the case is isolated so that there is no danger of its being spread by other mem bers of the household. The children of an infected family should also be kept from school, as the disease is terribly infectious and its germs may be carried about in the clothing for a great length of time. Teachers in the schools should exercise increased su pervision and see that no child comes to school from a house in which there is a case of the fever. There is no such thing as over carefulness where scarlet fever is concerned.— Ilarrisburg Patriot. A CARD. I wish to say to the people of Huntingdon that the person who recently visited them, and solicited a donation in my behalf, was an im poster, and swindled those whose contribu tions she received The plea used to prove successful, except that I have been confined to the house for several weeks, was entirely a misrepresentation of matters, and certainly an insult to all concerned, especially to the Mill Creek church, who financially more than meet their obligations to us, and whose tokens of respect are so numerous. We can but pity and pray for the one upon whose character rests the above stigma, and hope the future will find her facing the ills of life a true Christian with self—respect. R. C. BLACK. MILL CLUES, Jan. ith, 1880. How THE "TRAMP ACT" WORKS IN CUMBERLAND CouNTv.-•-The report of lion. Diller Luther concerning the effect of the "Tramp Act" in Cumberland county, brings to light some remarkable facts.— For the months of September, October, No vember and December, 1879, the amount paid the Sheriff of the county for the keeping and maintenance of tramps was $449 as against $5,162.31 for the same months the previous year. The law was enacted last winter throngh the ability and energy of A M. Rhodes, oue of Cumberland county's reprez , entatives. A strict enforcement of the law in every county in the State would soon rid the Common wealth of the "tramp nuisance." TEACHERS' INSTIT U lE.—The County Teachers' Institute held last week was the largest ever assembled here, some two hun dred teachers being in attendance. The ex ercises consisted of discussions, lectures, class drills, music, kc., and were of a lively and instruetive character throughout. We were unable to attend the meetings, and not being furnished with any report of the proceedings are unable to publish them at present. We understand, however, that a full report of the proceedings is shortly to appear in pamphlet form, so that all who wish can obtain them at a trifling cost.

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENTS SAY. Communicated.) The Philadelphia Pm: of December 13th, had this straige paragraph : "Ought Christmas and Easter he recognizca by Baptists ? will be the subject of discussion by the Philadelphia Conference of Baptista on Monday morning next." What a question for discussion by any de nomination whatever, who call themselves Christian's ! Christmas and Easter, around which centre, and from which all the Chris tians hope is derived. 0 1 what a question for Christian men to discuss now, near the close of the nineteenth century. "Ought we to recognize" the birth of Him who eighteen hundred years ago descended from the bights of His glory and took upon Him our poor hu manity, suffered all the trials and afflictions man is heir to, (sin Only excepted,) trod this weary world, with not where to lay His head, was persecuted, condemned and crucified, and after three days in "the place of departed spirits," arose from the dead, to confirm and make forever sure the work lle had begun for us, that we might have a sure hope of that inheritance which He purchased for us with His precious blood. "Ought" we to keep the birthday of a man like that? 0 I Christians, one and all, who are dependent on His mercy, celebrate the event of His birth before it is too late for the privilege of doing Him such honor. Remember His word declares "They who honor me, I will honor." All who pro fess His name, have no objection to accept the gifts that circle around the anniversary and have their origin from the glorious "day spring frolki on high who visited us and gave gifts unto men," and what are all the perishable gifts we receive, one from another (which all spring from Him) compared with the gift of Himself? 0! that all Christians might at tentively "read, work, learn and inwardly di jest" the first chapter of St. Luke. It would give them an idea of whether they "ought to recognize" that Saviour whose coming was heralded for ages prior.to the event "by the mouth of all llis holy prophe a ts." Shall the birthday of an earthly potentate be kept, and that of the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" not be "recognized!" Shame! Shame 1 on all Christians who are insensible to the great neglect. Well will it be for them, if in claim ing the inheritance He has purchased for them by His first advent, He should say to them at the second, "Ought I to recognize you, who questioned recognizing Me ?" Show this to your Doctor, CLEVELAND, November 1, 18;8. Editors "Wachter am Erie," Cleveland, Ohio. GENTLEMEN :--Allow me, as an old reader of your valued journal, herewith to send you a few lines, which please insert in your next issue. I will vouch for their truth, and know that by their publication a great deal of good will be accomplished. Having been a reader of your paper for many years, I hope you will kindly grant my request. For twelve years I had suffered, from time to time, terribly with Rheumatism, to such an extent that I was unable to move about and lost the use of my limbs. I tried everything recommended to effect a cure, consulted some of the most prominent physicians, and ex pended large sums of money, hoping to find relief, but without any success. Glancing over the columns of the "Wachter," I read about the ST. Jevons OIL and the MANY cures this remedy had affected. Having been dis appointed so many times, I lost all faith in any remedy, the ST. JACOBS OIL included, until I saw one day that it had cured a well.. known citizen with whom I am acquainted. Other parties fully endorsed the value and wonderful power of the OIL, telling me that it had cured them of different ailments in a very short time. This brought me to a conclusion. I said to myself, "Schweizer, fifty cents won't break you ;" so I went to my druggist, Mr. Bock, bought a bottle of the OIL, and must now confess that the result was truly wonder. ful. I used it every two hours, and found relief immediately upon the first application, and the pain ceased entirely after a few more applications. Fearing a new attack, I re mained in bed and continued to use the remedy every three hours. All pain having left me,. I arose from my bed and walked down stairs without any trouble. Since that time I have been able to follow my occupation and feel no pains or incon venience, however disagreeable the changes of the weather may be. Having thoroughly tested the ST. JACOBS OIL, I can conscien tiously recommend it to all afflicted with Rheumatism. Fifty cents is a small expense when the services for so trifling an outlay are considered. If I was one thousand miles away from all human habitation, I should, nevertheless, procure this remedy and keep it always in my house. LOUIS SCIINVEIZEB., Cor. Mervin and Centre Sta., Cleveland, 0.
