It is thought that an old grudge rV?.? at the bottom of the mat ter. Wash Stover is sueli a ki.nl, gentle, even-tempered, good-natured fellow that nobody ever thought he could get oros3 under any circumstances, or pos sible combination of circumstances. But that impression is a big mistake. Just ask him how heavy his hog weigh ed and a madder man you never saw. lie gets fierce and dangerous as a loos ened tiger. No indeed—they can never coax us to ask Wash such a question again. A VETERAN OF THE CROSS.— Bev. J. G. Anspach came to Mifflinburg in the year 1831, and, since that lime lias delivered 7,221 sermons, exclusive of funeral discourses. Confirmed during the same peri id, 2,705; Buried, 1,4(59; Married, 942; Adult baptisms, 185; In fant baptisms, 3,172. lie is now in bis 81st year and still an "active minis ter, having three charges—Ray's church, Farmersville congregation, and the Union Church in Buffalo Twp. —We have a big "crow to pick" with Mr. Meek, of the Watchman , and Major Foister, of the Democrat , for spreading reports about us and calling lis names; and the first time we catch either of them on our own hunting ground they will have to answer for their bad manners: Portly, forsooth ! AVe are just as snug and ' neat as Mr. Meek I just as goodlooking as the Ma jor, any day of the week—and as re gards our moral karraktdrs (we here speak in the plural) the les3 there is said about that, the better all round. —The PUILADKLPAIA TLMKS AL -1 MANAC, for the year 1882, is en our j table. It is brimful of valuable in- I formation prominent among which are the election laws of Pennsylvania, game and tlsh laws, list of state and United States flicials, complete elec tion returns tor isSl, list of county officers throughout the state &c. It is ! the most complete year book of the kind published and an indispensable help to the country editor. IMPORTANT. —'To those contemplat ing marriage—that is those who soon expect to be married—that means such as expect to go to housekeeping soon after they are married—it is very im portant to know just where to go for good and cheap furniture. W. K. Camp's at Centre Ilall, is exactly such a place. lie makes the best kind of furniture and sells leally cheap. Whether you need a Chamber suit, par lor suit, lounges, ehairs, or any other ticle in his line, you can do as well as any where in the county. Just try Mr. Camp, and you will find that we tell you the square truth in the matter. 2t A SAD PICTURE.— When on that cold, stormy Monday morning (the 23' id inst. ) we saw no less than forty of our citizens, neighbors and friends, depart for liellefonte, parlies and wit nesses in three separate crimin d suits, each one consequent to the others, we could not help moralizing ou the sub ject ill its entirety. How much better if people could settle their difference at home. Wlutt an amount of c rets, bad blood and bitter heartburnings could b avoided, if people, instead of pursu ing imaginary "rights", would ho more ft i boning and foigiving. These three suits will o the parties and the coun ty not lass than 81000, and when over the liti pints will hardly bo better satis fied than b 'fore. If ody the in one y thus thrown a way, worse than uselesdy, to say noth ing of the injury and demo alizing ef fects upon the community, were spent j to build churches, to educate the j young, to establish public libraries, to I feed and clot ho the poor, how much ! good could be done, how much could ! II e aggregate happiness of society be J enhaitvd. Phere is an abandoned of material for sober reflection on this inc. BBLLEFONTE LETTS ft. Bdlefonte, IV, Jan. 24th, 1882. * Speaker lveifer mIV imagine he has I cast upon Gov. Curtin's record an in | deliible blot, by refnsiug to place ! him upon committees to which lie rightfully belonged. Petty vindictive ness of this sort is more becoming fools and children: but wherefore one as high in the councils of the nation as Keifer, should allow those who control him, to make an KSS uf him, I cannot see. You will excuse llu* pride I felt up on noticing the JOURNAL, on the file in the Y. M. C. A. reading room, of this place. Thecirwoiks nw employ about three hundred men a.id are running on full time. A great many of your people are at tending court. A superior q talry of ice is now be i :g housed by our ice men. Ti.e new county offic rs are proving themselves capable to properly dis charge their d 'ties, and are much liked and respected bv the general public. The 99 cent store folks have like the Arab, silently folded their tents and stolen away. Mr. L. T. Monson 13 book-keeper at the alass works. A'isitois will not lie admitted; this order was made necessa ry by the cro v.D of boys, that d ii!y frcquentt d the busiest part of the work and seriously interfered with the work men. The lecture of Dr. J. Jay A r i!!ers on Monday of last week, was really a good thing. The anuouncment of one to f.?lliv shortly will be made this week. * * ■* A BEAUTIFUL EUISODK. -The other week a snip ise donation-was had at the lesidenco of that aged and beloved minis'er of the gospel, Rev. Father Ansjmcb, of Miffiinbtirg, lll3' deserves more than a passing notice. The mat ter was not confined to the membership of Mr. Anspach's church. The whole community took part. Rev. A. C. Whitmer, Rev. Dr. Grier, Rev. A. M. ' * Bani'tz and Itev. S. Henry the resident ! ministers of the place, and Rev. Mr. Rice, a visitor, were all present. The Telegraph thinks that about four hun dred persons were at the parsonage, the m. st of them bringing thei r "pounds" of some useful househ Id necessity, llev. S. Ilenry made a very fitting address to the dear old man, to which the venerable pastor responded, deeply affected in the following brief but golden words : Ladies and Gent e men : "Your visit this evening was wholly unexpected 011 my part—not anticipated, and takes me coinpl tely by surprise. I accept, as you certainly intend it, as a testi monial of your love and affection, which is indeed most gratifying, and shall be cherished while memory 1 ists. Accept, dear friends, my beaitfelt thanks, as well rs the thanks of iny family. Especially pleasing is the fact that all my colleagues in this place are here assembled at one time—? thing that has not happened during my min isterial labor in this village and vicini ty—a period of fifty-one years. Many changes have occurred in that time. Neatly, if not all, of those then resid l ing hero have gone to their eternal j home. Let us all sir live that when the time for our departure comes, we ! may all join the redeemed in heaven. Prayer was then offered by Rev. I)r. Grier, and after personal congratula tions and a general hand-shaking the largo crowd dispersed to their homes. A $20.00 Biblo Reward.

Always complain of being tired and i remember that nobody else gets tired. ) Your wife should always have ovey ! tiling in readiness for y >u, but you ! should not do anything fr her. When your wife asks for money ive her a nickel and ask her what she in tends to do with it. Then go down town and spend ten times the amount for cigars, for they aie a necessity. Go down town of an evening, stand around on th e coiner and talk politic*; it's more interesting than to s*ay at home with your family. Charge your wife not to gossip, but you can spit) all the yarns yon like. llave your wife get up and make the fires, but don't you get up until the rest of the family are eating Ueakfaat, as you might take cold. Wear old cloths and make yourself | as untidy as possible until your wife's health fail*, th n it would he best to tlx up same, for in all probability you will want another when she is gone. Have a smile f>r everybody you meet, but try and get a frown ou be fore icaching youi house. The Hanging Crop For 1881, The put year lias been a busy ous for the official hatigm n in this country The number rccoided is ninety. O f course this ;l>os not include those who were com pt lied to make the short shift allowed by vigilance committees. The most liberal in the application of the hempen cord was Arkansas. In Ohio fifteen wore hanged. South Car olina bung tor., Georgit eight. Miss uri six, New York and Tenness'e fiveeach, lVnnsvlv.inia four. Florida, Colorado, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi and Nortli Carolina, each Uiice; California, Illi nois, Maryland, New Jersey and Ver mont, two each, and each of the fol lowing nan.el Siaus and Territories one: West Virginia, Oiegou, Louisi ana, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona. Indian Territotv, New Mexico and Washing bin. In several of the States not men tioned capital punijliment baa been a uolished. This absence from the list, therefore, will not be mistaken as in dicative that tli y are free from the ug liest of criminals. The murdeiers are always with t:s. At a meeting of the board of par dons at Il.iriisburg the following cases were dually disposed of and pardons refused: Ilenrv and Frank Hamburger, Dau phin county, muider, and sentenced to be hanged. John A. Nevling, Clearfield county, mu-rder and sentenced to he hanged. Jonathan Moyer, Snyder coun'y, murder and sentenced to tie hanged. Joseph G. Allison, Indiana c ninty, murder and sentenced to be hanged. Frank Small, Allegheny county, murder and sentenced to be hanged. The c ise of Israel Erb, of Snyder county, convicted of murder, wis held under advisement. The supreme c nirt of Pennsylvania has recently decided tnat "a prouiissa ry note whicli bears the genuine signa ture of the obligator, but whicli was, in fact, obtained from him by fraud and under the impression that he was signing an entirely different instru ment, is a valid obligati 111 against liiui, and in the hands of a bona fide pur chaser or assignee for value, before maturity." LAWYER SCOVILLE,— in Ins blind zeal to clear his brother-in-law, the black-hearted assassin Guiteau, goes beyond all bonds of propriety and de cency, in charging Grant, Conkling, Arthur as being ''morally and intel lectually responsible for" the murder of President Garfield. We certainly take no stock in these men, either as individuals or as leaders of the Stal wart wing of the Republican party. As politicians—for they are not states men—they are bad and only bad. The damnable spoils system, of which they are the chief sulvocfttes >d representa tives, has done more to demoralize and corrupt our rotten civil service than all other causes combined. Hut to charcc them, even in a lawyer's plea, with an almost direct responsibility for the great crime, is entirely too far fetched for argument, or to make the impression intended. It is illogical and indecent and will recoil with increased force upon dcovilie's own head, while it can do the miserable Guiteau no good whatever. A Committee That Commits.
