The readers of the JocasAL will remember the rich tramp who had his feet so badly frozen, last winter a year ago, when beating his way through Bedford county. The Al toona Tribune says that he was in Hollidays burg, the other day, oa his way to Washing ton, Pa., where be has a brother. He lost his right foot. He presented a pitiable sight as he hobbled away toward his destination. He was just out of the Bedford county alms house. Our friend, Rev. D. W. Ebbert, of Shippens burg, who was attending the Alercershurg Classis, atMcConnellstown,last week, preached two sermons on Sunday—at the Reforthed church in the morning and Lutheran church in the evening—which are highly spoken of as meritorious efforts, by those who heard the young gentleman. We are glad to note this, for we believe Mr. Ebbert is destined to reach the highest rong in the ladder of fame, in tse Reformed ministry. One of the numerous Jones family, first name Annie, and a resident of Harrisburg, went to Hollidaysburg, the other day, to ful fill a marriage contract with a gentleman of that town. After seeing her future spouse she backed out, and as she was out of money, the Altoona authorties procured her a pass, and sent her home. She gave no reason for still remaining in a state of single blessedness, but we suppose the Hollidaysburg,er didn't come up to her expectations. The Mt. Union Times says that Jackson Brumbaugh, a lad of ten years, whilst playing Along the canal, opposite Mapleton, fell into the water and was drowned. The last seen of him, by his grandmother, Mrs. Hatfield, with whom he lived, was about three o'clock, and nothing was thought of him until late in the evening, a search then being made, when his hat was found in the water. The body was found the next morning, after the level had been drawn off, by Supervisor W. C. Gayton. The farm of W. H. Wagner, this county, was chanced off at Altoona, on Thursday, the lucky chap being Mr. Isaac Diehl, of Mill Creek, who held ticket number 2,121. At the same time Philip Smith, of Pittsburgh, drew the $2O gold piece with ticket No. 2 ; 499, and Mrs. Elizabeth Shermer, of Altoona, who held ticket No. 5, drew the cow. The lucky tickets were odd numbers, and the drawing was done on "the square," the person being blind folded, and all interested in the affair seem satisfied. The firm of Murray, Dongal k Co., of Mil ton, whose car works were destroyed by the late fire in that place, and to whom Henry & Co., offered their works and machinery free of rent, decline to accept the very liberal offer, and are making arrangements to rebuild on the site of their former works. We are sorry that these genticnnen did not see their way clear to come to oar town, as their coming would have helped our business considerably. The enterprising firm of Henry & Co. deserve the thanks of this community for their efforts to secure that industry for us. Ed. Morgan and Mr. Reeder, of this place, who work in the stone quarry west of town, on Thursday last, observed two men alight from a passing freight, each carrying a bundle, and going to the ridge and secreting them.— On the departure of the strange men they went to the spot and secured the bundles, which proved to be stolen store goods. They now have them in their possession. 'Tis probable that these chaps went through some estab lishment west of this, but in telegraphing around to the neighboring towns no informa tion could be learned by our authorities. The following receipt for keeping lamp chimneys from cracking is taken from tha Diamond, a Leipzig journal devoted to the glass interest: Place your tumblers, chim neys, or vessels which you desire to keep from cracking into a pot filled with cold water, add a little cooking salt, allow the mixture to boil well over a fire, and then to cool slowly. Glass treated in this way is said not to crack, even if exposed to very sudden changes of temperature. Chimneys are said to become very durable by this process, which may also be extended to crockery, stoneware, porcelain, etc. The experiment is so cheap that it de serves a trial. On Friday evening, the committee appointed to collect subscriptions for the Milton 'suf ferers, reported the amounts collected by them. The following are the contributions: For the Relief Committe at Milton, cash For Jlrs. Huff, cash... “ “ goods... For Rev. E. C. Hooch For Juo. G. Coder, Total Geo. W. Garrettson, Treasurer, at the First National Bank, will still receive donations from persons desiring to contribute to this fund. Set fire to the rubbish on the streets, in the alleys and in the garden plots close to houses and stables is a good way, in dry weather, to make ashes of a town. Seeing a number of women engaged in burning rubbish in a gar den plot, last Thursday evening, forced this suggestion upon us, and if there is no ordi nance prohibiting such recklessness, the bor ough authorities should at once enact one and enforce it. A spark from a locomotive, de stroying nearly the whole of Milton, and a match and an oil room of a grocery store, lay ing the business part of Cowdersport in ashes, should be warnings to our people to exercise the greatest caution at this time, owing to the dry spell and the tinder-box nature of our buildings, and the great scarcity of water.

ORANGE EimBSOMS.—Weduesday eve fling, May 19th. 1880, the residence of Mr. Samuel Spangler, in Franklin township, was the scene of an unusually large and festal gathering on the occasion of the marriage of his only daughter, Miss Kate Spangler, to the Rev. George AV. Stroup, of Karthans, Clear field county. Tne invited guests, to the number of one hundred or more, began to ar rive as the hour for the ceremony approached, and were all assembled by eight o'clock. At half-past eight the bridal party entered the large parlor, where the guests were awaiting them, and were soon united in marriage by Ray. W. 11. Diven, assisted by Revs. Ilattersby and Walterick. The cere mony was impressive and passed off very smoothly. The bride looked very handsome in a full white toilet with orange blossoms, and was ably supported by her two brides maids, Miss Jennie Williams and Miss Carrie Fetterhoof, who were also very becomingly dressed in full white. The groom looked every ineh the happy man lie WAS, and was accompanied by Messrs. George W. Spangler and George D. Blair, as groomsmen, the latter taking the place of Mr. Robert Gilliland who was unfortunately detained too late for the ceremony. The happy pair received the con gratulations of their numerous friends, after which they led the way to the spacious dining room decorated with evergreens, &c., where the tables, skillfully decorated and'beautifully ladened, presented a very handsome appear ance with a great variety of large and hand some cakes ar.d other good things, too nu merous to mention, whose promises of pleas ures to come were most amply fulfilled when the guests were seated. After they had done ' justice to the bounteous repast, the bridal party gave the signal for adjournment from the table, and accompanied by music returned to the parlor, where the remainder of the evening was passed in social conversation, music and other entertainments. All were ntost strongly impressed with the kind and bounteous hospitality of their host, and re gretted the final necessity of saying "good night." The bride and groom left the next morning to visit Mr. Stroup's family, ac companied by the best wishes of their many friends. May their path through life be strewn with roses, and may they never tread on the thorns. Our correspondent furnished us with a full list of the presents, but owing to our want of space we are compelled to omit them. They were numerous acid costly, and embraced both the useful and ornamental. IF you want a web of muslin, cheap and good, go to GLAZIER & BRO. WATER WORKS.—A Chance to Supply the Town with Water Works at a Small Cost.— We are in receipt of a copy of the Scientific American containing a description of the Holly System of Water Works, the which we would like to lay before our readers in its entirety, but our space forbids it, but will give the fol lowing concerning them. Golden, Colorado, has this system in operation, and the Globe of that city estimates their cost at $40,433,83, which amount, if divided up, is as follows : Cost of machinery and six mites of pipe, $32,- 650 ; engine house, $3,639.15, and a reservoir, 18x20 feet, 18 feet deep. with a capacity of 275,000 gallons, $4,144.68. The owner of the system claims that towns working it need no fire engines, as the pressure is sufficiently strong to throw a stream of water through a a one and one-half inch nozzle, 200 feet high, and 230 feet on the level. Two years ago this spring it was contended by those in opposi tion to the erection of water works, that no kind of a system could be got into working order under $75,000 or $lOO,OOO, and the pro ject was defeated by the vote of the people, hut we think these figures ($40,433.83), ought to cure the most skeptical of them that works can be erected for less money than they based their assertions on at thr.t time, and for less than the Golden works. The people of Golden believe that the rents from the use of the water will not only prove sufficient to pay annual expenses, but in the course of time will become a source of revenue to the city, and the same, if adopted, might be said of Huntingdon. At the present time, our au thorities have under consideration the feasi bility of purchasing another steam fire engine, and we say, before this is done, it would be to the interest of the people for the Burgess and town council to investigate this system or some other good one. The time has come when something of this kind must be done, and that speedily, notwithstanding the allega tions of fogyism. 11 , 3 you naut a white vest?

In the first place, newspaper space is valuable. The modern newspaper is never troubled with the old-time complaint of needing "something to fill up." Time editor's scalpel is constantly reeking from time slaughter of live news mat ter and interesting miscellany. Short com munications are much more likely to find readers than long ones are, and unless they are to be read it is much better not to publish them. More contributions can be represented where the articles are short than when they are long, and one man has as strong a claim upon the columns as another, provided he furnishes as interesting matter. A abort ar ticle is usually more pithy and pointed than a long one. A subject should have many ramifications to demand more than half a column in a newspaper, while all that can be saved even from that limit up to a certain point is apt to be an improvement. That prince of journalists, the late Samuel Bowles, once apologized for a long editorial, and gave as his excuse lack of time to write a short one. lie expressed an important truth in his usual epigrammatic way.

Fundenberg, of Cumberland Md., operated for the removal of the left eye-ball from Mr. Jos. Schrock, who lives in Roxbury, this county. Mr. Schrock lost the sight of his eye from a shooting cracker being thrown into it about seventeen months ago. The eye bad been a constant source of trouble to him ever since the hurt, and lately the sight of his . right eye began to fail rapidly. It was necessary to remove the bad one at once to save the good one, which operation was successfully performed, the patient being thoroughly under the influence of ether. He returned home on Saturday, having fully recovered from the effects of the operation. The Doctor was ably assisted by Dr. Henry Brubaker, of this town.—Somerset Herald. Dr. Fundenberg is now at the Luster House, where those suffering from any disease of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat can consult him. ALL CONSULTATION FREE.

A "FISHING CAMP."—The proprietors of Pennsylvania's favorite sporting paper, Afield and Afloat, have leased a piece of ground from the Reading Railroad Company, situate on the banks of the Schuylkill, about thirty two miles from Philadelphia, and are now en gaged in erecting a thirty-five foot building upon it to be used for bunking purposes by any reader of their paper who may choose to visit the camp during the bass-fishing season. They are loud in their praise of the beautiful surroundings of the camp, and claim that this fishing ground is the Mecca of anglers. As their accommodations are limited, they will not be able to accommodate more than six or eight at a time, and those desiring to occupy the camp will have to register their names at the office and fix the date of their intended visit, so that arrangements can be made for them. Cots will be provided, but visitors are requested to take blankets with them. The entire cost of a week's stay in camp will not exceed four or five dollars. Every reader of Afield and Afloat will be a welcome visitor. $323 62 52 00 27 40 5 00 12 50 $420 52 100 gross ladies dress buttons, from 8 to 12 cents a dozen, at J. R. CARMON'S. A CORRECTION.—In our notice lag week, of the loss sustained by George B. Porter, by the burning of his horses, farming implements, etc., we are pleased to learn that we were in error when we stated that Mr. Porter had been "financially ruined." We supposed that Mr. P. was a tenant on the farm of Mr. Cress well, and had about him such a large number of live stock and an extensive assortment of farming implements, that he was like ninety nine tenants out of every hundred, and had his all invested. But we are informed that such is not the case, and although his loss is heavy he still has something left, all of which we were delighted to learn. A MINISTER relates his experience thus : —1 take pleasure in adding to your many testimonials, that last Thursday (Thanksgiv ing Day), not being able to preach on account of Rheumatic pains in the shoulder, I bought a bottle of ST.

WELS H AND SANDS' GREAT SIIOW. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says of Wetsst AND SANDS GREAT Snow : "As far as our ad vices reach everybody looked on tip-toe with eager and well founded anticipations of a day and evening brim full of wonderful sights, and worlds of fun. Yesterday, for long ere the sun deigned to show his face, the Union de pot, streets and avenues leading thereto was one solid mass or human flesh swaying to and fro watching the unloading of Welsh and Sands' great show, which is entirely new and undeniably leads the van in magnitude. Long before nine o'clock thousands upon thousands of people filled the streets along the line of march, which had been published in these columns, to witness the most gorgeous and sensational free street parade ever given in this city. In the afternoon their enormous tents were filled to their utmost capacity, to witness an exhibition of more rare wild beasts, birds, reptiles and marine wonders and a greater number of thrilling, novel and ludi crous Equestrian and Gymnastic teats and animal acts and antics, than ever before seen in this city, in any five shows put together.— What a host of genuine features ; they have combined ample capital with every adjunct of modern science to gather in the most notable of living curiosities and muscular phenomena from the uttermost parts of the earth, and to present them with every elegant accessory that can devise to impart attractive magnifi cence to both spectacular display and arenic performance, including the marvelous steam Electric Light. It is the first show in our recollection that has ever exhibited more under their canvas than pasted on the bill boards, and our advice would be to those who were unable to get tickets in the great jam, or gain admission last evening to try it again this afternoon and evening, as this is positively the last day." This stupendous aggregation will exhibit at Huntingdon, on Thursday, June 10th. BARGAINS in Gloves, Hoisery, Fans Ladies' Corsets, Ladies' Skirts, Hamburg Edg• ing, Laces, &c., at GLAZIER & BRO.'S. Ur' INTEREST TO TOB ICC° GROWERS.— As a.goodly number of our fanner readers are engaged in growing tobacco, the follow ing remarks by a writer in the Blossburg Industrial Register, in the method used to prevent the destruction of the plants by the cut worm, may prove of interest to them : In our younger days we had considerable experience in the growing of tobacco. We found that the common cut worm was the L greatest enemy of the young plant, often r making such severe attacks that we were obliged to reset several times thereby mak ing the crop very uneven. In order to cir cumvent this malicious and voracious enemy of the tobacco plant, we adopted the following plan, which was a complete success : About three weeks before we wished to set the tobacco plant, we plowed our tobacco field and before harrowing it sowed about three bushels of buckwheat to the acre, and then immediately proceeded to mark out the rows and make the "spats" or hills for setting. By the time we wished to set the tobacco plant, the buckwheat had grown to be about the same size of the tobacco plant, and was found in the same hill, "spat," or place where the tobacco plant was to be set. This was no annoyance. We set our tobacco and awaited the result. We found that the cut worm was just as fond of young and fresh buckwheat stalks as it was of tobacco, and there being three hundred stalks of buckwheat to one of tobacco the chances for the protection of the tobacco plant were in that proportion. In about two weeks the buckwheat was removed from between the rows, and in a week more from around the hill, and the danger was ever ; the cut worm had outlived his virulence and was ready to die by the heat of the sun. The field of tobacco was even, it ripened at the same time and could be harvested and taken care of at the same period, and brought a better price in the market on that account.

EYES RELIEVED.—Mr. Fred Lewis, of Grant county, went to Cumberland one day last week to have his eyes operated upon.— The disease and weakness in his eyes created a kind of continual weeping that caused him much annoyance, and frequently suffering.— Doctor W. F. Fundenberg, to whom Mr. Lewis applied, found it necessary to insert a silver tube from the corner of each eye, running down into the nose, through which drippings from the ball and diseased matter could es cape. These glands bad become clogged and the natural course so obstructed as to render an artificial drain necessary. The operation was delicately and skillfully performed, and Mr. Lewis returned, highly pleased with the relief afforded. A little spirits to strengthen bis nerve while the doctor operated, was all the subject took.—Seyser, (W. Va.) Tribune. Dr. Fundenberg is now at the Leister House, where those suffering from any disease of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat can consult him. ALL CONSULTATIONS FREE. GREAT BARGAINS !

"I DON'T WANT THAT STUFF"—IS what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter, it was administered to her with such good results, that she continued its use until cured, and was so enthusiastic in its praise that she induced twenty-two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine.

EDITJR:—In yu !! last issue I read with mingled delight and astonishment that the Hunt ingdon County Medical Society had held a regu lar meeting, and I h,atened to confirm the glad tidings. But I was doomed to disappointment as usual. There Wag no meeting—no election eitlitr of oftcers or delegates! This high-sounding an nouncement was a, lie--not quite so disastrous in results as the chicken-pox lie of two years ape, but nevertheless a lie. I found, on investigation, that the announcements of previous years were lies also. There has not been a rc.:;ular inciting of the Medical Society iu this county fur neatly ten years. It has been sulicring from ouicial septic • teuttia and lying in a c,stnituse condition. Aount once a year a peculiar thrill shoots through it (like electricity through a corpse;) there is a nod ding of the head, swagging of the tail, a wink out of one eye, and then it subsides into the repose and immobility of death. A couple of second-rate practitioners meet on the street or in one of their offices and call it ts regular meeting of the Hunt ingdon County Medical Society ! They elect theuaselves °dicers sewl word to somebody that he is a delegate ! It rewinds us of the two Bowery bummers who went into a saloon, organ ized a convention and issued a flaming manifesto commentsing: '•We, the people of these United States," t&c. • The public and the medical profession of Hunt ingdon county, and of Pennsylvania, are respect fully and honestly informed tnat this meeting Ws a farce, the election a fraud, and that Drs. 0. P. Miller, Isaac Giles anti A. B. Brumbaugh are nut du y elected officers, and their claims and preten sions as such are invalid, fraudulent, and entitled to no consideration or respect.
