There must have been at least 10,000 persons to witness the ceremonies. There was a procession in the morning, about a mile long, comprising fire companies, two pieces of artillery, and the differ ent orders. The crowd repaired to the cemetery after the parade, where the dedicatory address was delivered by Gen. James A Beaver. The Hun, tingdon Cornet Band acquitted itself creditably—even surpassing the ox. poctations of the most sanguine. We think the crowd of strangers could hare enjoyed themselves better, if there had not been so much "tangle foot".disposed of, but fortunately the extreme cases of drunkenness were very , rare, Runaway and Accident On Thursday afternoon last, two young men, well known to our commu nity, named John A. Willoughby and John Maguire, the latter ono of the firm of Wharton S.: Maguire, hardware merchants, of this place, hitched up a young horse, belonging to Mr. G: B. Armitage, in a bran new buggy, for the,purposo of taking a pleasure ride. The party were, alas, doomed to a end disappointment. They had just gone over the river bridge leading to Smith field when the horse suddenly star ted off at a frightful speed. Ho ran into the fence a short distance from Smithfield, broke up the buggy, and upset the gentlemen. Maguire was thrown on his side, and his right leg broken above the knee, besides sus taining injuries to his left hip and back. Willoughby escaped unhurt, although he was dragged some distance. The horse, after upsetting the buggy, and breaking the shafts, started up the road, through Smithfield, and got on the ridge road. He was not found un til the next morning, when he was brought home, nothing the worse for his run. We are happy to state that Mr. Maguire is rapidly getting better. Affectionate, Very - The Hollidaysburg Register -ia re spousiblo for the following. Jealous "monsters" shouldn't read it : "At a party in this town recently, two chaps were particularly struck with the same lass. Being chilly, the fair maiden wore a large shawl. While sitting in the back part of the room, with one of the lovers above mention ed on either side, each of her admirers concluded to slip his hand under the shawl, and try what effect squeezing her hand would have. Ile went for it, and succeeded. 'Great day," how happy ho was. He squeezed, and he squeezed apparently. le felt glorious all over, and she evidently felt glorious too. After quite a joyful time spent in this way, the lady threw back her shawl, and revealed to a little crowd standing near, our two youths squeez ing one another's hands most lovingly. It don't do to say "squeeze" to either of them since. Kicked by n Horse Mr. B. Prank Sloan, of Henderson township, was kicked in the face by a horse on Thursday evening, July 4th, and had his jaw broken in two places, and also his nose. He had brought the horses from water, to the stable door, when one of them kicked al the other, and Mr. Sloan received the blow, which knocked him down. He was picked up in an insensible state, the blood rapidly oozing from the wounds. Dr. Brumbaugh was sent for, who, with the assistance of Dr. D. P. Miller, suc ceeded in relieving the unfortunate man's sufferings. —One of those itinerant peddlers, who hold forth in the night time, and supply the bystanders with plenty of gas, was in town on Saturday night last, selling boot-blacking by the box, "one for 15, and two for a quarter."— fie succeeded in disposing of most of his stock, ("but a little more loft") .much to the chagrin of our Job-like merchants, who stood by, wondering bow it come that so many persons were in need of boot-polish. We think the peddler explained the secret of his success when ho said ho had plenty of "brass," and still more "gab." —The Lewistown Gazette publishes the following stretch of imagination : Many passengers through the Nar rows below this place, on the P. R. R, no doubt fail to observe a large rock about half way up the mountain, just above the division house, about six miles down, which nature bas carved into the form of a soldier standing on picket, in the act of peeping around a rock, as if listening, his cap, coat, knapsack, and other appurtenances be. ing well defined, the whole forming a giant statue of life-like appearance. —We are indebted to.

CHEESE, Tho test always for sato at LEWIS' FAMILY GROCERY Our Baud The Huntingdon Silver Cornet Band receives some very complimentary no tices front- the Hollidaysburg papers, which we give below. The boys are deserving of all they get, and we aro glad that their trip to Altoona was so satisfactory, and has called forth such appropriate comments from our co temporaries. Bead what is said of them: THE HUNTINGDON BAND.—Among the prominent and attractive features of the great demonstration, at Altoo na, on the Fourth, was the Hunting don Silver Cornet Band. The fine ap pearance and gentlemanly deportment of the members, together with their excellent playing, elecited universal admiration, and it was the generally expressed ,opinion that the Juniata Valley had good reason to feel proud of such a first class organization. In the comparatively short period of its existence this Band has acquired a re putation second to none in the State. It will have to look to its laurels, how ever, because our Social Band will have their now horns in a short time.— Register. Not the least interesting feature of the occasion, and one which attracted much attention, was the appearance of the silver cornet hand of Huntingdon, which, on account of its soul-stirring music, admirable training and gen eral appearance, was admired by all admirers. This band, taking into con— sideration the length of time since its organization has attained a remarka ble degree of efficiency in the art of instrumental music, and fully sustained the reputation already won, of being second to none in the State. A finer looking set of fellows we have seldom seen, and better music than that dis coursed by them wo have seldom lis tened to.— Whig. Died From Eattoff Cherries A boy named Philip Garlock, son of Mr. Frank Garlock, of this place, died on Thursday morning last, from the effects of eating °horde?. About a week previous to his death ho went, to the country, where ho had free access to a cherry tree, and it is supposed ho ate an over quantity of tho fruit, to gethor with the stones. He was brought home sick, and ever since his arrival home, it was found impossible to open his bowels,although every remedy was tried that medical skill could devise. His death should bo a warning to those who eat this fruit, particularly to the younger portion of the community who aro so apt to swallow the seeds.
