The close of the Beecher trial is an event beyond the ken of tnan to determine, but the clothes on exhibition and sale at the renowned Star Clothing Hall, 109 Clinton fetreet, Johnstown, need no determination except the determination of everybody to pitch in and btly whatever they want, and that is a determination easily arrived at by any one who examines Murphy's superb stock and Icarus the moderate'prices at which he disposes of his goods. The d writing house of Mr. Patrick Reil ly, near Portage, this county, was destroyed by Are Wednesday about noon, involving a loss in the building and household property of not less than S1,H)0, on which we believe there was no insurance. The fire originated from a store pip running through the roof. It of course has no connection with the mat ter in hand, but it may not be out of place to say that Mr. Reiliy is an nncleofonr Cohgreksman elect, Hon. John Reiily. As if we had not enough of.that kind of thing to bear already, here comes the Johns town Democrat with the assurance that Mc Pike "has served the Democracy of Cam bria long and faithfully, and a recognition of bis services by the many great and good men who annually attend our county con ventions would not be out of place." But then you know those printer men will "say their say," and if they didn't have us to talk about somebody else would have to stand the pressure. The discontinuance cf the Altoona Daily Tribune has of necessity resulted in the re tirement from active service of our much es teemed friend, Cal. Hachetr, one Of thfe best local editors that ever wielded a pen. That he will not long remain unemployed is a foregone conclusion, for while brains and the ability to use them are in demand the possessor of such a commodity, as Hackett undoubtedly is, need not hide hi light for auy length of time under a half bushel, or a whole one cither, for that matter. Joe Durborrow, editor of the Hunting don Journal, has been sued for libel by a conductor on the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad, the cause of action, which has been brought in Bedford county, being some thing a id about a coat which the aforesaid condntfor deems derogatory to his charac ters. This thing of suing editors for libel is becoming somewhat monotonous, but, like nearly all who have preceded him, we have no Tears for the final deliverence of Joseph from the perils which seem to environ him. Not a matter of local i:e.vs, but because our editorial page is full up, we note here the acceptance by the President of Attorney General Williarno resignation add tho appointment of Hon. Kdward S.

A crowd of gay and festive youths as sembled in a saloon at Summitville on Tnes- j . , .. stepped down and ont, and now Sum mitville tallies five less of a population than it did before ttiese startling events occurred. Of course, if we had seen it In time we would never have permitted the appearance the Huntingdon Journal. As it has, how ever, slipped in without our knowledge, we cau only say that Brother Durborrow has our sincere thanks for the kindly . nords spoken: "McTike, of the Cambria Freeman, is again a candidate for the office of Trea- snrer, and we know of no Democrat, the wide world over, more ?eservini of thn cannot do better than nominate this ink- slinger.

Our Popular Installment Plait, or ' Easy Method to Pboccrea Piano or vbwa. is now eooui seven years since wo introduced the monthly installment plan in the Piano and Organ business iu this city and vicinity, and it has stood the great tests of everything (time and experience), and has proven a great boon to the inusic-lovine portion of our commnuity. But few persons nre able to pay down at once all the inoney for a Piano or Organ, and yet they desire to educate their families in the accomplish ments of modern society; and music is cer-. fainly the accomplishment most generally appreciated, most useful, most harmless, most refining and elevating. The introduc tion of our Installment Plan put the posses- nion of a Piano or Orcan within the reach of everv one. As the circumstances of differ- pnt nermm varv so n-uch and nersons have ent persons vary so n-.ucn, ana persons na e such different incomes and salaries, we do not have any fixed terras on our installment plan, our idea and intention being to fur nish everybody with an instrument, even those of the most limited means, and who can make only small payments. Bit to give some idea of onr usual terms, we generally get about twenty percent, of the value of the instrument as a first installment, and then about ten percent, of the balance each month. For instance, an instrument worth 5100, the first payment of twenty per cent, would be ?20. This would leave SS0, and ten per cent, of this, that is $8, would lie the monthly pay ment for ten mouths. We wish to have it distiuctly understood that these are not ovr only term ire are willing to take a 7c pay ment each month, if your circumstances re quire it. In short, yon can have from one to tiro year in which to pay up for a Piano or Organ, if it ia necessary; and we wish it dis tinctly understood, also, thattrcrfo'wof charge a fancy price for our instruments when wait ing in this way for the payments. We hare our business so systematized, and onr In stallment Plan in such admirable working order, that we can afford to furnish an in strument even on a long series of payments within a fraction of what we could furnish it for cash down. The great advantage of this plan is, that you or your family can have the use of the Piano or Organ all tho time you are paying for it. and by the time you have all the payments made they will have acquired great proficiency on the in strument. 'ow, you might have put away the same amount in a savings bank, intend ing when it amounted to a certain sum to put it into a piano or organ, but in that case your daughter would just have lieen from one to two years Ixdiind in her progress; and besides that banks will break sometimes, and you might have put your money in such a one. Onr installment plan saves all this risk, and all this loss of time. We are pre pared to furnish any instrument on our list, piano or organ, high-priced or low-priced, new or oldj on our installment' plan. We solicit all persons who want an instrument to call and see us or write to us ou the sub ject. Mellor & Hokxe. 7J Fifth avenre, Next door to Masonic Hall, Pittsburgh, Pa. An incident connected with the recent fiendish attempt to wreck a passenger train near Wilmore is related at the expense of a couple of gay youngcowrriers residing in this place, both of whom are semi-monthly visi tors, on wooing missions bent, to the pleas ant little village referred to.

For several hours subsequent ro their arriv al our heroes confined themselves strictly to business, but some time during the wee sma' hours, they reluctantly tore themselves away, so to speak, from thepresenceof their hearrs' idols and essayed to reach the hotel where they have been in the habit of putting np for tbe night, or for that part of it, more properly speaking, not otherwise employed. In this efl'orf, however, they had only par tially succeeded when they were overhauled by a party of men on suspicion of having been paiticipis crimini in the obstruction of the railroad, the late hour at which they were found on ihe street giving some color to the suspicion. Of conrse a satisfactory explanation and a speedy release followed in quick succession, but this incident among others we could relate should have the ef fect of inducing our young friends to pitch in and end their troubles in that direction. A enrious affair happened at a grist mill in Westmoreland county one? day last week. A woman who had occasion to visit the miller ou business went upstairs with that person to view the wonders of the machine ry, and while examining the boiling ma chine very intently Fhe approached that treacherous invention too closely, the con sequence of which was that her dress was caught between two cogwheels, the iron teeth of which began to gather in her cloth ing in a slow but frightfully systematic and sure manner. The miller saw the danger.and being a very strong and robust individual, he immediately clasped the terrified woman in bis brawny arms, and bracing bis feel against an upright post, there ensued a struggle between him and the holtir.g ma chine as to which should have the woman. Ii was decided in favor of the miller, how ever, who by a herculean jerk, got the wo man clear, but the machine r;t her clothes, uit nuri iuc c.i iiciiirtii 9 un i .tun I lit- One day last week threo strangers drove np in a bng2y to the residence of Mr. Simon Kirsch, in Barr township, and proceeded at once to dicker for a horse belonging to that gentleman, which they readily succeeded iu purchasing at ihe stipulated price of 5140, in payment whereof they gave a check on the banking house of Collins, Johnston & Co., in this place, after which they drove to St. Nicholas, where they bought another horse for S180- from Mr. N. Lamliorn, for which ihey also gave a check. A few days after the sale Mr. Kirsoh presented his che?k for payment, when he learned to his utter regret aud astonish men . that it wasn't worth a baubee no man be;i; ng the name signed to the check having .t;iy money on deposit in that institution. At latest accounts Mr. Kirsch and Mr. Lamtour were looking for the men who had swindled them, hut if they have succeeded in overhauling the rascals and recovering their property, it is more than we are aware of at present writing. Mr. Godfrey Wolf, one of the oldest and roost reliable clothing dealers of Al toona, did ns the honor of a visit yesterday. M. W. at all times carries the most extern sive stock in his line to. lie fonnd in the mountain city, and just notv has an immense snpply of Spring goods on hand, to which he proposes, however, to add very largely dining the coming week.- He says he cau sell a suit of good, substantial clothing, tit for any tnan to wear, for the remarkable low price of $7, and for snch an outfit as he himselt sports, and it is one he has worn for three seasons, he asks only S15 in cash.
