FALSE ALARM. —On Thursday evening of
last week, the cry of fire raised quite a com
motion on J uliatiaand Pitt Sts. As is usual on
-ucb an occasion in this place, everybody ran
the wror.g way, and nobody thought of the
tv-eine or hose, neither of which, however,
would have been of any use had the alarm
proved more than a cbimuey on fire, for there
is no water in our reservoir. It will be good
by Bedford, if she ever catches fire. Some
years ago with one reservoir wc generally had
• -rplus water enough to extinguish a fire oc
casionally. Now we have two reservoirs and
can't get as much water as we can drink,
b ho 8 to blame ?
1 HANKSGIYINU was unusually well observed
in old Bedford ; business generally being sus

morning. The congregations of the towu
unitedly attended service at the Presbyterian
church where an able and appropriate sermon
was preached by Rev. J. Q. McAtee, the pas
tor of the Lutheran church. After service
the time honored custom of eatiDg roast turk
ey was scruixulously observed by almost every
household. The editor would have been en
tirely forgotten in the general rush for turkey,
but for mine hospitable host of the Washing
ton, who thoughtfully provided a choice fat
one, with which we were enabled to satisfy the
wants of the inner man, and give thanks
along with our neighbors.

"Ir I ONLY nxo CAPITAL." —If I only had
capital, we heard a young man say a few days
ago as he puffed away at a ten cent cigar, I
would soon do something. If I only had
capital, said another as he walked away from
a dram-shop where he bad just paid ten cents
for a drink, I would go into business. The
same remark might have been beard from
the young man loafing on the street corner.
Young man with the cigar, you are smoking
away your capital; you, from the dram-shop,
are drinking yours and destroying your body
at the same time, and you, of the street cor
ner, are wasting yours in idleness and form
ing bad habits. Dimes make dollars. Time
is money. Don't wait for a fortune to begin
with. If you had ten thousand a year and
spent it all you would be poor still. The mil
liounaires of our land began poor. Our men
of power and influence did not start with for
tunes. You too can make your mark if you
will. But you must stop spending your mon
ey for what you don't need and squandering
your time in idleness. Go to work. Do
whatever you can find. Refuse no useful or
honorable work until you can get better. It
is not honest work that degrades men. Make
good use of your time. Save your earnings,
and improve your leisure moments by storing
your mind with useful knowledge. Be true
to your employer. Care for his business and
his iuterests as if they were your own. Such
conduct will make you friends, aud a judi
cious economy will accumulate you capital.
Then you may begin for yourself whenever a
favorable opportunity offers ; and the same,
industry, economy and attention to business
will give you a competence. This is the way
you can attain to power and influence. If
you get tbem any other way, your bad habits
will waste your patrimony and destroy your
influence. If you are unwilling thus to labor
for them you are unworthy to enjoy them and
will never get them. There still is no excel
lence without labor.
THE secret of the Alisma's success Ex
plained. The hair is secreted by a little ve
sicle or gland, and each gland is nourished
and supported by a minute blood-vessel, and
at long as these blood-vessels carry a suffi
cient quantity of nourishment to these glands,
the hair will grow : but if from disease or
any other cause, these vessels become ob
structed or torbid, so much so as not to carry
to these glands a sufficient quantity of blood
to nourish and sustain them, the bair will be
come dry and fall off. The reproduction of
the bair, therefore, depends upon the restora
tion of these small blood-vessels to their
primitive and unobstructed circulation, which
indication the Alisma performs. It is abso
lutely necessary, before new hair can be pro
duced, to stimulate the scalp by the applica
tion of the Alisma, which excites the blood
vessels to an increased healthy action. Re
member, it reqnires time; for if the bair
were to start as soon as the tonic was applied,
it wonld probably be five or six weeks before
it would make its appearance through the
skin.
HINKLEY KNITTING MACHlNE. —Elsewhere
will be found the card of Messrs. Straw A
Morton 20th street, agents for the above
machine. We have never had much confi
dence in the statements made in regard to the
capabilities of (he various Knitting Machines
now before the public, but having personally
examined the Hinkley Machine, we. find that
it will perform all that is claimed for it in the
advertisement, in a satisfactory manner. The
agents are among the most reliable and en
terprising of the business men of our city, and
their names alone are a sufficient guarantee
that anything that comes from their establish
ment will be as represented.— Pittsburgh

GAME. —This is the time of year our sports
men enjoy themselves. Already we hear
the report of the hunter's rifle in every "neck
of woods" Already have we seen some of
our townsmen return from a bunting ex
cursion with game, traps and dog and a brace
of turkeys, a deer or a bear.
On Friday last our friend 'Squire, E. M.
Alsip, shot a turkey which weighed 18 or
20 pounds. His father John Alsip, Esq , the
next day killed two deer. A Mr. May and
two other gentlemen of Londonderry town
ship killed two deer and a bear a few days
ago. Concerning the last, a very interesting,
thrilling and exciting story is afloat, bat as
we bav'nt got the particulars from reliable
sources, we retain from giving it.
MURDER IS HPKTIKGDOS CODSTT.— On
Wednesday evening the 17th inst., the most
atrocious murder, it has ever been our duty to
record, was committed near Eleasant Grove,
a station on the Huntingdon and Broadtop
Railroad. The victims, three in number,
Mr. John Pechtel, bia wife, and a boy named
Scott Garner, were sitting at supper, when
all three were shot. Mr. Pechtel and Gar
ner were instantly killed and Mrs. Pechtel
being only wounded was afterward killed with
a hatchet. The object of the murderers was
to obtain several thousand dollars of money
which Mr. Pechtel was supposed to have, and
which they obtained. After plundering the
house the 4ead bodies of the murdered par
lies were placed on a bed and covered over
and the bed set on fire. The design was
evidently to burn the house and dead bodies
so as to convey the idea that the house bad
burned and the inmates perished in the
flames. This occurred between seven and
eight o'clock—about nine o'clock two men
passing by, discovered the light and the
smoke issuing from the house and at once
entered and extinguished the fire without
much difficulty. They then found the vie
tims paitially burned, but not enough to pre
vent identification. The alarm was at once
given and messengers dispatched to Hunting
don. The murderers in the meantime bad
reached Huntingdon, and entered an oyster
saloon uear the depot, evidently trying to
conceal themselves or attract as little atten
tion as possible. They spent about three
hours at Huntingdon, when they took the 31
a. m. train for Altoona. Shortly after their
departure the parties from the vicinity of the
murder reached Huntingdon; where they
were informed of the sucpicious looking
couple referred to. A telegram was imme
diately sent to Altoona, and on the arrival of
the train, the murderers were arrested. They
were returned to Huntingdon Thanksgiving
day.
Great excitement prevailed on their arriv
al and the excited populace threatened to
lyDch them and hang them on the spot. The
murderers are Germans named Oliver Bod
enbnrg aud Gotlieb Bohner. The latter is
said to have been convicted of larceny in
Huntingdon some three years ago and sent to
the penitentiary. Mr. Pechtel was quite old,
about 65 years of age, and his wife CI, the
boy was about ten. The money obtained
was about S2OOO. When arrested S2OO of
greenbacks were found on the murderers and
s6oo'were afterward found in the lockup at
Altoona, where they were kept. Some S2O
in gold were afterward obtaiued from one of
the prisoners, who bad attempted to conceal
it in his mouth. Bohner has since confessed
as follows :
I was born in Wurtemberg, in May, 1827,
aud came to this country in 186F, I was
never married. I served as a private in Co.
C, 70th New York Volunteers, for two years
and two months. After being discharged
from the army I lived first in New York, then
in Huntingdon, and lately at Altoona. 1
worked in the coal mine on Broad Top a
couple of months for Robert Hare Powell.
I was never acqaainted with the family of
John Pechtel; but passed there once and
asked for work.
I first became acquainted with Oliver [Al
bert] Bodenberg at his Loaiding-house in A1
tooua in September last. We slept together
and boarded at the same house. Soon after
I got acquainted with him, be told me that
Pechtel had money, lie said that he had
slept there twice. He asked me to go along
and stay outside, and said I need not know
what be did inside. We came down on the
cars on Monday evening from Altoona, and
walked from Huntingdon byway of M'Con
nellstown to Pechtel's that evening; and
slept all night in his (Pechtel's) stable loft.
On Tuesday we walked over the neighbor
hood and inquired for work, and staid all
night in barn further down the road. On
Wednesday morning we came to Huntingdon,
and I did not want to go back [This was on
the morning of the murder.] Oliver [Albert]
said if I did not go back he would shoot me.
We started back after dinner and walked by
Pechtel's; but went by the Broad Top to
avoid getting there too soon. We stopped a
while at M'Connellstown station, and a while
at Pleasant Grove. We reached Pechtel's
about 7 o'clock. I staid on the railroad and
Oliver [Albert] went to the house. I heard
only one shot. The wind was blowing very
hard. He was in the house about one hour.
He brought out the bags full of gold and sil
ver. He gave me one of them, and said,
"Now, let's go." I think Oliver [Albert]
had about twice as much money as 1 had.
He told me in the lock-up at Altoona that be
had put the money away while he was down
in the privy, by digging a bole with his hand
and burying it.
Bodenberg, corroborates this, with this ex
ception—He alleges he staid on the railroad
while Bobner went to the house.
Bodenberg also alleges that they got a bot
tle of liquor at M'Conuellstown, but that he
had only two drinks.
UNSEASONABLE POETRY.— In looking over
our exchanges we are sometimes struck with
the extremely unseasonable character of po
etical selections. This year wiuter begun in
this region aboat the middle of October and
verily seems to have fastened on us with such
a firm grip that there is little prospect ot
his relaxing it until April. Notwithstanding
this fact we find in about one-half of our ex
changes that
Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are hurried in snow
There comes a festive season
When natnre is all ag'ow— Ac., Ac.
In those smoothly flaming stanzas we admit
that Indian Summer is beautifully portrayed,
but then Indian Summer has obstinately re
fused to respond to all this flattery and has
not deigned to show ber face or give us the
faintest glimpse of her gorgeous raiment.
On the contrary tierce, cold, unrelenting win
ter close clasped in his robe of SDOW greet 6
us ere we bad fairly passed the portals of
summer, and the flowers are buried in snow
almost before their death and instead of In
dian Summer, "The comir.g of the snow
storm" would make more seasonable reading.
FIRE IN THE ALTOONA R. li. SHOPS. —
About eight o'clock on Tuesday night fire
was discovered issuing from the planing mill
connected with the Railroad Shops in this
city. In a short time the whole building was
enveloped in flames and the fire communi
cated to the tin shop adjoining. The planing
mill was a frame building and contained a
large quantity of finished and rough lumber.
The entire building and contents were con
sumed. The tin shop was partially destroyed.
We have no estimate of the loss, but have
understood it is at least $25,000.
The fire department were promptly on the
ground and by their efficiency, (aud they
labored at great disadvantage on account of
the scarcity of water) the main buildings of
the company were saved from ruin, although
one of them was several times on fire. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but there are
no grounds for supposing it anything other
than an accident. It is estimated that fifteen
or twenty bands are temporarily thrown out
of employment, but no doubt the company
will give them other work until the buildings
burned, are replaced, which, we understand,
will be done at once Blair Countv Radical.
WE are glad to learn of the succss of our
friend John W. Shuck who has been elected
Clerk of the Cosnty Court of Champaign
County, 111. by an overwhelming majority.
John always was a good Republican, true to
his country in time of her trouble, having
served a number of years in the late war, and
justly deserves the honor the people have
conferred upon him.
DUNNING.— One of our exchanges, hard np
for tnouey to meet expenses, has been com
pelled to dun pretty sharply, and ingeniously
puts in rhyme the apology therefor—which we
commend to the attention of onr own read
ers:
"Should you ask why this dunning,
Why these sad complaints and murmurs,
Murmurs loud about delinquents
Wbo have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Reed with pleasure and with profit,
Read of State affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom aui in true to i,
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly?
Should you ask us why this dunning?
We should answer, we should tell you,
"From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man wbo taxes letters,
With a stamp from uncle Samuel—
'Oncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes a mesrage,
Message kind and firmly spoken,
'Please to fay us what you owe us.'
"Sad it is to hear such message,
When our funds are a'l exhausted,
When the last bank note bos left us,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay tbe paper-maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the nimble carrier,
Gone to pay the taithfnl mailer,
Gone to pay our Uncle Samuel—
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him —
Gone to pay for used up paper
Ten and twenty hundred dollars!
' 'Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
f urn to see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years ef toilsome labor,
Due despite our constant dunning.
Due in sums ftom three to twenty.
"Would you lift a burden from us?
Would you drive a specter from you ?
Would you taste a pleasant slumber?
Would you have a quiet conscience?
Would you read a paper PAID FOR?
Send u- money—send ug money,
Send us money— send us money—
SEND t-S.MO.VHV THAT YOU OWE US!"
ANOTHER MURDER IN HUNTINGDON
COUNTY. —At Broadtop city one day last
week aMr Cassiday murdered his son, a
young man, under the following circum
stances. Mr Cassiday it seems was iu the
habit of getting iDtosicatcd and abusing his
family, when tbeyouug man would be oblig
ed to protect the family from his violence
and sometimes was compelled to turn hint
out of the house. On the day of the mur
der Cassiday overto k his sou some distance
front the house, and attacked him with a
club, ODe report says, and another with a
knife, and killed him. Young Cassiday is
reported to have been a steady yoong man
who by work in the tuincs supported the
family of bis dissipated father. The mur
derer was arrested and lodged in the Hunt
ingdon jail.
Cot.-RT.—The attendance at Court last week
was uuusually small for a regular session.
The whole week was occupied with the quar
ter sessions, not a civil case being tried. It
is indeed a sad commentary upon the moral
condition of our county, that a whole week
should now be occupied with criminal busi
ness when a few years ago but a couple of
days were required to dispose of nil Com
monwealth business. Is it the fault of our
pablic officers?
BANKING. —Mr. George F. Huff, agent
of Wtu. M. Lloyd of Altoona paid a flying
visit to our town on Thursday, at tho solic
itation of a number of our citizens, with a
view to making arrangements for opening a
banking house. Banking facilities are
greatly needed and we have a reasonable as
surance that the above named parties will
open business here within a week or two.
ONE of the few really successful enterprises
of the day is Parker & Co.'s One Dollar Sale.
Their system offers a greater opportunity for
the purchase of the thousand and one useful
nrticles, at a price that comes within the
reach of all classes, than any other.
It is a well understood fact, that certain
: classes of goods pay the dealer a very large
; percentage of profit: This appears almost
necessary, especially in Fancy Goods, Jewel
ry, Silver Plated Ware. Ac., of which a deal
er does not sell sufficient of any one article to
make it an object of trade, and is obliged to
purchase in small quantities ; nod when the
goods are sold by three or four different
classes of merchants, and each charge a very
large profit, the price becomes double the
original cost of manufacture before reaching
, the hands of the people.
It is in such goods Parker A Co., 98 A 100
Summer street, Boston, deal most extensive
ly. Their sales are so immense they make
each article a speciality, often buying alia
manufacturer can produce. Their system
gives universal Satisfaction. Read their ad

How Ilustcttcr's Hitters cure Dyspepsia.
THE WHOLE STOBV IN A NCTSUELL.
The office of the stomach is to convert the
food into a cream-like semi-fluid, called
CHYME. This is effected partly by the action
of a solvent, called the gastric juice, which
exudes from the coating of the stomach, and
partly by a mechanical movement of that
organ, which churns, as it were, the dissolv
ing aliment. The CHYME passes from the
stomach into the duodenum, or entrance to
the bowels, where it is subjected to the action
of the bile, and the nutritions portion ot it
converted into a fluid cailed Chyle, which
eventually becomes blood.
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent,
the gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient
j quantity, or if the mechanical action of the
stomach is not sufficiently brisk, the first
process of digestion will be but imperfectly
performed. It is also clear that if the liver,
which plays such an important part in chang
ing the nourishing portion of the chyme into
i the n>ate:ial of the blood, ie congested, or in
any unnatural condition, the second process
will not be thoroughly accomplished. The
result of the two failures is dyspepsia, com
plicated with biliousness.
The mode in which HOSTETTEICS BIT
TERS operate in such cases is this; they in
vigorate the cellular membrane of the
stomach, which' evolves the gastric juice,
thereby insuring an ample sufficiency of the
fluid to completely dissolve the food. They
al3o act upon the nerves of the stomach,
causing an acceleration of the mechanical
movement necessary to reduce the food to a
homogeneous mass. Tbey also act specifically
upon the liver, strengthening it, and so ena
bling it to produce an ample and regular sup
ply of bile, for the purpose of converting the
nutritious particles of the Chyme into Chyle,
and promote the passage through the bowels
of the useless debris.
In this way, HOSTETTER'S BITTEKS
cure dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex
planation is plain, simple, philosophical, and
true.

ROBERT GRAHAM. A sequel to Linda; or,
The Young Pilot of the Bell Creole. By 4U-.
Caroline Lee Ilentz. Tbe thousands who
have read Linda will make haste to procure a
copy of Robert Graham, which is a sequel to
that colebrated work, aud h also the second
volume issued of Peterson's new and beauti
ful edition of the complete works of Mrs Car
oline Lee Hentx. Robert Graham is a
charming novel, being natural, graphic, and
very entertaining. In point of plot, style,
and all the other characteristics of a popular
romance, it wilITo found equal, if not superi
or to the novels of the present day. We can
not admire too much, nor thank Mrs. Hentz
too sincerely for the high and ennobling mor
ality and Christian grace, which not only
pervade her entire writings, but which shine
forth with undimmed beauty in this novel of
Robert Graham. It sustains the character
which is very difficult to well delineate in a
work of fiction— a religious missionary. All
wbo read tbe work will bear testimony to the
entire success of Mrs. Heutz's writings. It
is published in a large duodecimo volume,
bound in green morocco cloth, price $1.76;
or, in paper cover for $1.50.
THE Lady's Friend for December. The
Christmas number of ibis attractive monthly

ion pictures, The Departure and The Return.
It has also a gay and stylish plate of Colored
Fashions, aud a Christmas title page, showing
various modes of celebrating the day. Music
—Tbe Angels are Waiting lor Me. Amanda
M. Douglas concludes The Prize of Two
Meu's Lives, and Mrs. Wood of Roland
Yorke, ends in the moßt satisfactory manner.
There is a fine story from Mrs. Moulton, and
one from Nora Perry, and a sweet poem
from Florence Percyjwith the usual literary
variety. The recipes are good, practical di
rections, such as ladies want for the holidays.

THE "ATLANTIC" for this month sustains
its well established reputation, and closes the
year with an excellent number. The first ar
ticle—"Uncle Sam's Treatment of his Ser
vants," is from Mr. Barton's facile pen, and
will, of course have many readers. "The
Dead Level," by F. Sheldon, introduces us
to a talkative great grandfather, who stead
fastly believed in the good old days of yore.
"The Mormon Prophet's Tragedy," by John
Hay; "The Brick Moon," by E. F. Hale,
brings its observations to April, 1871, and
will be continued we cannot imagine, how
much farther. "Americau Industry in the
Census," by F. A. Walker, cannot fail to in
terest many people in view of our coming
census of '7O. Alice Eliot, who we believe
is a new contributor, is the author of "Mr.
Bruce," a sprightly sketch, cleverly written.
"The Increase of Human Life," Part 111., by
Dr. Edward Jarvis, is a valuable article.
Bayard Taylor is the author of "In My
Vineyard." Caroline Cheseboro, finishes
her serial, "The Foe in the Household."
"John," a sensible view of our Chinese em
igrants, by A. I). Richardson. "Life Saving
as a Business Duty," by W. F. G. Shanks;
"Uuder the Midnight Sun," by I. I. Hayes,
of Arctic fame; with the Reviews and Literary
notices, complete the contents'
Oca YOCNG FOLKS, FOR DF.CEMBEB, is the
twelfth number of volume 5, and a very good
one it i, Mr. Aldrich's story of a Bad Boy
whs was not such a very Bad Boy after Ail,
closes, and we hear many wishes expressed
that Mr. Aldrich will soon introduce some
more of his boys and girls to the Young
Folks. How to Do It, by Edward E. Hale,
makes some suggestions that are perhaps as
apropos for the elder as for the younger
members of society. Christmas Tide, by A.
W. Bellow, and Johnny Tearful, by George
Cooper, are the poems in this number. Hot
Buckwheat Cakes, is by H. L. Palmer; Carl's
Christmas Carol, by Mr. W. McLain; Le
l>(cuf Gras, by Mrs. Craik; how Battles are
Fought, by Major Traverse, and how a Ship
is Modeled and Launched, by J. T. Trow
bridge, convey useful information in a very
pleasant manner. A December Charade, is
by Mrs. Daix, Round the Evening Lamp, and
The Letter Box, are indeed treasuries of en
tertainment for the long winter evetungs.
There are promises of many good things for
the coming year, and we wish The Young
Folks a largely increased circulation.
THE Eclectic Magazine for December opens
wilh a fine steel engraving of Pere Hyacin'.Le.

THF. North British Review for October is
on our table. Juventus Mundi (the title of
the new Book of the Right Honorrble Wil
iam Ewart Gladstone on The Gods and Men
of the Heroic Age) is the opening artich.
The next paper in importance, and tbe one ol
mostjpresent interest, is The Pope and the

all," says the Sunday-School Times , "This
is the best magazine for children in the
world." For beauty of illustration and
