HUNTINGDON SHOULD BE A GREAT
MANUFACTURING CENTRII.-TIICTC is no loca
tion in the State of Pennsylvania that has the
advantages and resources of Huntingdon for
manufacturing purposes, and the only wonder
is that the capitalists of the country have not
discovered this fact. We desire, briefly, to
call the attention of the public to what should
be manifest to every body.
Huntingdon is located on the Juniata river
atthat is about to be the head of navigation
on the Pennsylvania Canal, and at the junction
of the Huntingdon and. Broad Top Mountain
Railroad with the Pennsylvania Central. The
Broad Top Railroad traverses the entire
length of Woodcock Valley to within a few
miles of Bedford, and by several branches
penetrates the Broad Top Coal field from
which great quantities of coal are constantly
being shipped to the eastern markets. The
supply of coal in this field cannot be exhaust
ed for many years, if worked to double the
capacity they are now worked, or ever have
been worked. So that the question of cheap
fuel is fully settled, but besides this the Al
legheny and Clearfield coal fields are reached
directly by the Pennsylvania Central and its
connections with less than sixty miles of
transportation, while on the other hand, by
the completion of the Bedford and Bridgeport
Railroad, which will be successfully accom
plished during the year 1871, the great Berlin,
Mt. Savage and Connellsville coal fields can
be reached in about the same distance. The
Connellsville Coke 'has a national reputation.
Here then are inexhaustible quantities of fuel
within easy distances of Huntingdon.
The question of fuel being settled the next
point to be settled, is, is there sufficient quan
tities of ore within easy transportation of
Huntingdon to warrant the location of the
larger and heavier classes of manufactories?
We answer this query emphatically in the
affirmative. Wood,ock Valley, lying at the
base of Tussey's Mountain, for a distance of
forty miles, contains vast quantities of the
best quality of iron ore, and Tussey's Moun
tain contains a heavy vein or two extending
through the whole length of it. These veins
are worked at several points and ores transport
ed to Johnstown and Danville to be smelted
into iron. But it is quite probable that there
are other veins of ore to be developed in the
course of time, though enough to run a large
number of furnaces for centuries, has already
been discovered. Ore has also been found in
large quantities at Orbiania. In addition to
the ore in Woodcock Valley, lime stone is
found in great abundance, so that all the ne
cessary raw materials, out of which to manu
facture iron, are to be had within a radius of
a few miles and directly on the line of rail
road. Why then haul these materials hun
dreds of miles away to manufacture them
into iron, and consume so much that ought to
be profits, in transportation? It is worse
than folly, it is stupidity.
Iron can be manufactured at Iluntingdon,
and conveyed to market as cheap, if not
cheaper, than any other point in the United
States, and we make this statement without
fear of successful contradiction. The estab
lishment and successful operation of the
Riddlesburg Furnace, by the Kemble Coal and
Iron Company, has fully established the fact
that iron can be manufactured here as cheap,
if not cheaper, than anywhere else in the
country and that persons manufacturing iron
can make money here while at 'other points,
owing to heavy expenses, they are compelled
to abandoned the business. And with the
advatages of the Canal for the transporting
of the manufactured article to market, Hun
tingdon has a twofold advantage • over any
other point in the State. And what is here
said in regard to the manufacturing of iron is
applicable to any other branch of manufac
tures.
Now, then, why have capitalists not learn
ed these facts and availed themselves of these
advantages ? The only answer we can make,
is, that they have not been made acquainted
with them. What, then, is to be done to ac
quaint capitalists with these important ad
vantages? The live men of lluntingdon, those
who desire to do some good for themselves,
their posterity and their neighbors, not the
dead wood and lumber which are a curse to
the community and who are only calculated,
to borrow a homely expression from a cotem
porary, for first-class funerals, should call a
meeting at once and appoint a committee to
draw up a statement of all these advantages,
and to have thousands of them printed and
circulated wherever surplus capital is to be
found, and in addition, let several live gentle
men be appointed Secretaries to conduct all
correspondence and to give any information
which may be required. This is the only way
in which our natural advantages and great
resources can become known, and the live
men must do it—dead men don't eve toll
tales. Come, let us hear from you, who is go
ing to move first ?
Bedford Lodge No. 202. L 0. 0. F.
Afflictions, it is said, never come singly; and the
Lodge of Odd Fellows at Bedford, seem to be real
lining the truth of the proverb. They have, until
recently,. enjoyed for several years, a remarkable
immunity from the average mortality of similar
associations. On the 21st of Dec. last, .no of
their oldest members, Mr. James Strong, who had
long been known as a worthy citizen and devoted
christiau,,departed this life, and he was buried in
Bedford Cemetery in compliance with his own re
quest, clothed in a Patriarch's regalia, and with the
fallest ceremonies of the Order. "Bury me," he
said, a few days before his death, "in my regalia,
and let the brothers wear their regalia; and bury
me with ail the ceremonies of the Order, and say
that I requested it; that the world may know
there is nothing in Odd-Fellowship, that a Chris
tian man need be ashamed of when he comes to
die. Thank God that I ever became an Odd-Fel-
His request was fully carried out. lle was borne
to his grave, as he desired, by fraternal hands, ac
companied by the Brothers of Bedford, Bloody
Run and ltainsburg Lodges, and the Patriarchs of
Peace Branch Encampment of Bedford.
After the services of the church, the imprerisive
ritual of the Order was read by Rev. Bro. Whitney,
and the chaplain of Bedford Lodge, Rev. J. T.
Thompson. Then the following hymn, written for
the occasion, by Dr. C. N. Hickok, Grand Repre
sentative to the G. L. U. S., was sung by the
Brotherhood to the beautiful air "Adede
Cold on his bier ourCherish'd Brother lies;
Pulselees and still the heart within his breast;
Death's hand has seal'd to us his loving eyes;
Come, let us gently bear - him to his rest.
Silent his tongue: In vain the friendly hand
We wait, that ours iu mystic grasp caressed;
Gather ye Patriarchs of our "chosen band;"
With tender sadness bear him to his rest.
111
Finislid his work : Ilis days of toil are o'er;
Gone all the cares which once his bosom press's'.
Sorrow and sighing are Isis lot no more;
Then let us thankful lay him down to rest.
Iv.
Peaceful his slumbers; Brothers, mourn him not,
Whose life and death the love of God bath
bless'd:
Wash'd from his soul each stain of mortal spot;
In joyful hope we'll leave him to his rest.
In yon bright land of never fading youth;
With the redeem'd, in shinking raiment dress'd;
'Neath the full Sun of "Friendship, Love and
Truth ;'
Ms ehasten'd spirit finds immortal rest.
Cod of our Order, hear our earnest prayer:
011, bend thy sovereign car to our request:
Make us thy servants; fix our portion where
Thy faithful people dwell in endless rest.
The strains of the anthem sounded exquisitely
upon the clear, wintry air, amid the forest trees of
the Cemetery; and many eyes were moist with
tears; and many hearts melted with sympathy, as
the Brotherhood filed past the grave, to deposit
their last token of love, "the evergreen," upon the
sleeper's breast; to indicate that the Odd Fellow's
burial was ended.
Appropriate resolutions were adopted and pub
lished by the Order; but scarcely had they met the
public eye, when the Lodge was again called upon
to perform their funereal rites, for a distinguished
Brother, suddenly smitten by the hand of death.
Hon. Alexander King, President Judge of the
IGth Judicial District, died after a brief illness, at
his residence in Bedford, at noon of Tuesday, the
10 lust, in the 66th year of his age, and his obzo
quies were attended by his large fancily connection,
the Order of Odd Fellows, the members of the Bar
and officers of the Cotrt, and a large concourse of
sorrowing citizens, on the 12th, at 2, o'clock P. ar.
Judge King had been a member of Bedford
Lodge, since the year 1816, and was warmly at
tached to the Order. The annexed resolutions will
suffice to express, far better than we can do, the
estimate placed upon his character, by those most
intimately acquainted with bins, in public and pri
vate life, for this long period. We may mention
in passing, that several years of his early life were
spent in Huntingdon, while pursuing his law stud
ies in the office of the late Robert Allison Esq.
Since the above was written Past Grand Wm.
Bowles of Bedford Lodge who was one of the pall
bearers at the Judge's funeral and also at Bro.
Strongs died on Monday morning last from
apoplexy.

C. N. Hickok, G. Rep. and Past Grande, S. L. Rus

who were appointed a committee to express the
sentiments of Bedford Lodge, No. 202, I. 0. 0. F.
on the death . of their late brother, lion. Alexander
King, Past Grand, was unanimously adopted at
cthe regular meeting of the Lodge, held on Friday

JNO. R. JORDAN, "SECY
Again has the shadow of the death angel's wing,
fallen upon our Lodge Room. Once more we are call
ed upon to morn a Brother departed, the sound of
whose footsteps we may never hear returning across
our threshold. The lesson of our mortality, taught
us in God's Holy Book, and reiterated in our
ritual, and demonstrated in the experience of our
lives, and yet so habitually forgotten; is again re
peated;—"all must die." The brothers of high,
as well as they of low degree, are alike the objects
of the insatiate archer's aim; and none may es
cape. As it has been, all through the past; as it
ever will be, until time shall be no more; so is now
nature's sad refrain—" Earth to earth; ashes to
ashes; dust to dust." Many centuries have passed
since it was first written ;—"Man goeth to his long
home, and the mourners go about the streets ;" and
to-day the sable tokens of Earth's woo are univer
sal as then.
We knew the day of mourning would sooner or
later come to no as a Brotherhood ; "we knew not
when; we knew not where." We knew our mys
tic chain could not remain forever unbroken, yet
we could not divine on what link the severing blow
would fall; and how unexpected has been our sor
row; how little prepared arc we for our sadness.
Only a few days have passed since we sung our
requium at the grave of an humble Brother;—one
of God's lowly, suffering ones, who, ripe for heaven,
had long waited to depart. Now a Brother, strong
in his manhood; high in our Order; exalted in,
social life; honored in political position and pub
lic trust, lies prostrate in the tomb. To-day we
mourn the Past Grand, sage in council; and in
whose example we saw demonstrated all that is in
culcated in our "Finc.vpsulP, Love, AND TRUTH,"
and—
WHEREAS, it hath pleased Almighty God, thus
to bereave us, in the sudden death, in the midst of
his usefulness, of lion. Alexander King, Past
Grand of this Lodge; therefore be it
Brooked, That while in the death of Past Grand,
Alex. King, we are deeply afflicted; we aro never
theless greatly comforted in the remembrance of
his useful and honorable career, in all the several
relations of life ;—as a firm believer in the revela
tion of God's Word ; as an honored and influential
citizen; a trusted and faithful lawyer; an ince,
ruptable Senator ; a righteous Judge ; an accom
plished scholar; a high toned gentleman; a fast
friend; a loving husband; a tender father; a
true brother; a warm hearted, compassionate,
just man.
Resoiced, That to the lives of such men as Judge
King, who during a quarter of a century of con
nection with our Order, saw no cause to be asham
ed of genuine Odd Fellowship, we point with pride,
as an unanswerable argument against the asper
sions of our opponents, and in favor of our benev
olent institution.
lic'coked, That the death of Past Grand King,
after so brief an illness, admonishes us to be "also
ready," that, like him, we may be able, by Divine
help, to "set our house in order," and, "sustained
by .an unfaltering trust," calmly resign our spirits
into the hands of Rim who gave them.
Resoked, That to the family of Past Grand
King, who, bereft of his tender care and affection,
will most sadly feel his loss, we offer our most
heart-felt sympathy; praying that "the God of all
consolation" may be with his Widow and Orphans
in their sore trial ; upholding, comforting, counsel
ling, leading and forever blessing them.
Resolerd, That as a token of our respect for the
memory of Past Grand King, the Lodge Room of
No. 202, be draped in mourning , and that the
members thereof wear the usual badge of sorrow
for thirty days. - •
Resolved, That a record of Past Grand King's
death, and of his connection with the Order, be en
tered in the Bible of the Lodge; that these pro
etiedings.be spread upon the journal; and that
copy thereof be signed by the Noble Grand and
Secretary, and by the Committee, with the Seal of
the Lodge; and forwarded to the family of Brother
King; and also that the same be published in the
papers of this Judicial District, "Tits Ilusrisonow
JounNaL" and the "American Odd Fellow" of New
York.

REPORT OF TILE CIIIEF ENGINEER OF
rue B. & B. &maws]) COMPANY.—We cut the
following facts from the Report of John Ful
ton Esq., Chief Engineer of the Bedford and
Bridgeport Rai'toad Company, publish° I in
the Bedford Inquirer of last week
The whole distance from Mt. Dallas to
Bridgeport by the located line is 30 9-10 miles.
The alignment of the road, considering the
rough character of the main portion of the
country through which it passes, is very satis
factory. 19 4-10 miles of the distance is made
of straight lines, and 11 5-10 miles of curved
lines.
On the most difficult portion of the line,
from Mt. Dallas to Bedford, the greatest cur
vature used is 9°, having a radius of 637 feet.
On the Bridgeport end it has not been found
necessary to use greater than an 8° curve and
even this at only a few places.
The maximum gradient on the Mt. Dallas
end is only 39 feet par mile, graduating down
to the horizontal—for the road at Bedford is
only 10 feet higher than at the Mt. Dallas con
nection, in a distance of 7 7-10 miles.
From Bedford to Buffalo Summit the gra
dients ascend in a regular order, beginning
with almost horizontal and raising at the rate
of 20, 30, to 52.8 feet per mile, until the sum
mit is approached. One mile on either side
of it the gradients are 93 feet per mile. From
the extent and uniformity of ground under the
two miles saddling the summit, no effort has
been made to cut it down to the maximum
grade of 52.8 feet per mile. An average cut
ting of two miles in length and 20 feet deep
would accomplish this—besides the slate rock
at this place is of the softest kind and easily
excavated, but such a work exceeded the de
sign in expenditure in location, and hence,
has been left for subsequent action.
Prom the south side of Buffalo Summit
grade, the gradients descend uniformly to
Bridgeport—beginning with 52.8 feet per mile,
graduating to 40 feet per mile and flattening
near the junction at Bridgeport to 30 feet per
mile.
The width of prism. of road iu excavations
is 14 feet and on embankments 12 feet.
On the whole line there will only be requir
ed nine trussed bridges from 80 to 140 feet
spans. The bridge at Mt. Dallas is designed
to be a deck bridge—the cars to ran on top of
it, 40 feet above low water. It will have a
central opening of 140 feet spanning the river,
and two wing spans of 80 feet each, affording
abundant waterway for the extraordinary
freshets which are sometimes so destructive
along this river. The Cove Creek bridge is a
thorough bridge of 100 feet span. The bridge
at Juniata river crossing near Bedford is to be
similiar to the Cove Creek bridge, with the
addition of a short wing trustle to give free
vent to waters in floods. The bride at Presby
terian church is designed to be 140 feet span
with trussed or tresseled approaches to ac
commodate the somewhat shifting character
of river channel at this place. The bridge on
Buffalo Creek is to be 80 feetspau, two bridges
on Little Will's Creek of 100 feet spans, and
one bridge over Big Wills Creek of two spans
of 100 feet each.
No trestling has has been adopted on the
road. The design is to make it permanent and
substantial in all its details, opening a way
over which passengers and freight can be
transported safely, promptly and economically.
The field work of preliminary survey began
at Bedford the 19th of August last. Maps,
profiles and estimates were prepared covering
30 miles of examined lines, for the advertised
day of letting, Oct. 1, 1870. Your Engineer's
estimate for the graduation, Masonry and
Bridging on the 23 2-10 miles of road from
Bedford to Bridgeport, by the adopted "Iron
Ore Route," was $106,938.97—0r at the rate
of $4609.41 per mile.
On the adjourned day of letting, Oct. 12,
the work was allotted to Messrs. 11. R. Camp
bell, Son & Co., of Philadelphia, for the gross
sum of $94,381.00—the work to be completed
on or before the first day of July, 1871. The
contractor to be paid 80. per cent. in cash and 20
per cent. in capital stock of your company.
The following refers to the Mt. Dallas end:
Your Engineer's estimate for the graduation,
masonry and bridging of this difficult division
of the work was $99,348.20 or $12,902.36 per
mile.
On the 15th of November this work was let
to two parties. The first 5 miles west of Mt.
Dallas station were allotted to Messrs. Lowry,
Williams & Co., and We remaining 2 7-10
miles to Messrs. Campbell & Bros. of Altoona.
The amount to be paid to Lowery, Williams
& Co., for the five miles is $68,455.26, and to
Campbell & Bros. for 2 7-10 miles, $21,344.-
74; making the aggregate cost of this work at
contractors prices $89,800.00
The total cost of the graduation, bridging
and masonry of the whole line at contract
prices is as follows :
11. R. Campbell, Son & Co., Phil'a. $94,381.00
Lowry, Williams, & Co 68,455.26
Campbell & Bros.. Altoona. 21,344.74
30 9-10 miles of cross-tics, at 50e 40,170.00

HALL DEDICATION.—The new Hall of
United Brothers Lodge, No. 176, 1. 0. 0. F.,
at M'Alevy's Fort, was formally dedicated to
the purposes of the order, on Thursday, the
sth inst., by Past D. D. G. Master, Grafilas
Miller, assisted by several Past Grands.
An address was delivered by Dr. C. N.
Hickok, of Bedford, It. W. Grand Representa
tive from the Grand Encampment of Pennsyl
vania to the Grand Lodge of the United
States, and was followed by some excellent re
marks by Past Grand, Rev. W. Gwynn, of
Manor Hill. The address of Grand Represen
tative Hickok, which was of a controversial
character, is spoken of as an able effort, as
is usual with him, when the occasion calls for
it, he threw down the gauntlet and walked
fearlessly into the ranks of the opposition. In
telligent and finely educated, the Doctor is
moreover a forcible writer and an earnest and
eloquent speaker, and being thoroughly post
ed on the subject of Odd-Fellowship, his ad
dress, as might be expected, has done much
toward removing the grumblers prejudice,
againts the Order, which exists in the vicinity
of the Fort.
The members of the lodge there deserve
great credit for their efforts in the cause of
"Benevolence and Charity," amidst discour
aging circumstances. Through the enter
prise of a brother, they have now one of the
most convenient and tasteful Lodge Rooms in
the county, and they cannot fail to prosper.
May success attend them.

EVERYBODY KNOWS Us.—Some say, that it is
no use for them to advertise, that they have
been in one place of business all their lives,
and everybody knows them. Such people for
get lo take into consideration thatour country
is increasing in population nearly forty per
cent. every ten years, and no matter how old
the place may be, there arc constant changes
taking place, some move to other parts, and
strangers fill their places. In this age of the
world, unless the name of a business firm is
kept constantly before the public, some new
firms may start up, and, liberally advertising,
in a very short time take the places of the
older ones, and the latter rust out, as it were
and be forgotten. No man ever lost money by
judicious advertising.
A BOAT3IENS' MEETINO was held at
the Juniata !louse, on the 12th inst., for the
purpose of fixing rates of Freight on the Canal
for the coming boating season. The interest
of the Boatmen and Shippers was fully dis
cussed by persons present. On motion, the
meeting adjourned to meet at the same place,
on the 23d of February next., where all inter
ested are invited to attend.

We notice that at the annual election for
President and Board of Directors of the Bed
ford and Bridgeport Railroad Company, held
on the oth inst., four of the old board were re
elected. We are not surprised at the re-elec
tion of two of them, because they have acted
pretty consistently, but if we had been re-elec
ted we would consid.r that there was room for
reflection upon our integrity.
B. Mann & Bao.—Return their thanks for
the prompt response given to their notice of
settlement, and respectfully ask a continuance
of public patronage. Those who have not re
sponded, are expected to call immediately, as
our books must be settled, and we prefer set
tling them ourselves. Those who are not pre

able terms will be taken.
