To be resurrected, at 812 a page—The Daily Legislative Record. A revival of religion is in progress in the colored church in this place. Col. M'Cru.n, of the Altoona Tribune, illuminated our sanctum on Friday last. It should not be forgotten that the girls of the period will be the mothers of the future. The JOURNAL job power presses are now turning out some handsome specimens of typography. The Great Council of the Improved Or der of Red Men was in session iu Phila delphia last week. The Morrison's Cove railroad will be completed to Martha Furnace before the Ist of April next. The young man and girl who make love on the doorstep in the evening will subject themselves to severe colds. Gov. Geary has appointed Augustus Troxeli Associate Judge of Mifflin county, in place of Hon. Ephraim Banks,.dee'd. John Richardson, a farmer residing in JUniata township, was seriously injured. one day last week, by a log rolling over his body. The editor who kissed his sweetheart, saying, "please exchange," is. believed not to have exceeded the proper liberty of the press. Mr. Samuel Neal, of Oneida township, had one of his feet badly sprained and bruis ed by being caught with a tree he was en gaged in felling. Senator Petrikin is chairman of the committee on Estates and Escheats, and Mr. Crawford chairman of the committee on Public Buildings. Bedford has about twenty-five attorneys, but two good lawyers could, very readily, do all the business and have time to attend the Springs in season. We saw so much of a young lady's neck the ether day, owino• ' to her low-necked dress; that she reminded us of a goose with saddle packets hung about it. A very interesting revival of religion is in progress at Cassville under the auspices of the M. E. Church. A large number have been forward for prayers. A Pittsburgh lady entrusted a boy with a bundle containing a dress valued at $l5O to carry to the depot. She is now making anxious inquiry for the boy and bundle. Rev. B. B. Hamlin, D. D., of this place, lectures in Bedford on next Friday evening, en the subject : "Our Bible and our Lib erties." We expect him to repeat. it in this place. Slightly ruffled—The tempers of several .of the female sex at our item, in last week's issue, in regard to painting. We didn't mean them, and as they plead guilty we will keep mum. Cambria county has an old hunter in the person of John Mishler, aged eighty-two years, who, during his life, has killed four hundred and ten deer, fifty-two bears and twenty-six wolves. A man in Allentown was awakened one night by heavy, murderous blows on his body with an axe, and on following the retreating steps of the intruder, discovered it to be his own daughter. We met a stranger the other day ; said he : "Send me the JOURNAL for a year; I want a live paper." We had a live-ly ap preciation of his good sense, and sent him the JOURNAL with our thanks. There is a boy in Reading, under twelve years of ago, who has upwars of $3OO de posited in the Savings Bank. It was earn ed through his own industry. A good ex ample for the boys of this place. A son of our friend John hyper, of Sinking Valley, while assisting his father in threshing, was caughtby the right hand in the cylinder and most seriously injured, three of his fingers being terribly lacerated. Several parties have applied to us to fur nish them the JOURNAL, for. less than the published rates in clubs. We are unwillinr , to .depart from our published terms: We desire to treat all persons alike and then we cannot be accused of partiality. Bedford county was formed on the 9th of March, 1771, out of part of Cumberland county. It will be one hundred years old on the 9th of March next. The Bedford people, it is said, will hold a great centen nial colebration at the county hotel—the Poor House. The Millerites have fixed on Saturday, February 11, as the day of the final judg ment. Delinquent newspaper patrons will take due notice and govern themselves ac cordingly, remembering the old saw has it that "no delinquent on the printer's books can ever enter heaven." THE JouRNAL.—We are indebted to our neighbors fur the following handsome compliments : Tun HUNTINGDON JOURNAL appears in a new dress and much enlarged, and makes a highly creditable appearance.—Lewistown Gazette. THE JOURNAL also greets us in an entire new dress, beautiful in appearance, and swing ing eight columns to the breeze. Long may they live.—Tyrone Blade. THE new HUNTINGDON JOURNAL looks well , and shows decided editorial ability. We trust its new editor, J. R. Durborrow, esq., will have no cause to regret his re-entering the harness.—Blair County Radical. THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL, enlarged, beau tified, improved, spiced and welcome, comes to us as perfectly accoutred, a, as—a modern belle. Which is good—for Huntingdon. Suc cess gentleman. Pull straight.—Tyrone Her ald. THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL made its appear ance last week in a new suit of type and en larged to an eight column paper. It looks neat and clean, displaying mechanical taste. We wish the proprietors abundant success— finan c Incl.:pendent. THE HUNTINGDON JornsAL, last week donned an entire new suit, and boasts of having a new power press. The JOURNAL looks first rate in its new suit, and is a very readable pa per, notwithstanding its politics are of the very blackest possible type.—Altoona Sun. The Huntingdon Journal 4 American, and Huntingdon Republican, have consolidated, and appear now under the name of the HUNT INGDON JOURNAL. The new paper is large) aad printed with new type on a Power Press. We wish it success save in politics.—Johns town Democrat. The combination of the Iluntingdon Jona- NAL and the Huntingdon Republican has been effected, and the result is the issue of a paper called the Huntingdon JOURNAL. It is a neat looking sheet. J. R. Durborrow, formerly of this place, is editor.—Ebensburg Allegenian. The Huntingdon JOURNAL comes to us this week enlarged and improved. It now pre sents as handsome an appearance as any pa per in the State. The Journal has been con solidated with the Republican and Mr. Du, borrow, formerly of the Bedford Inquirer, su. Percedes Mr. McDivitt in the editorial their. We wish our friends success in their new en terprise.—Somerset Herald. The JOURNAL also appears this week enlarg ed and in a new dress, with J. R. Durborrow, Esq., as editor and J. A. Nash, Esq., publisher. We do hope these two papers will quit quar reling, and go to work with a will and make the Republican votes tell on the Republican side. R. McDivitt, Esq., who retires from the editorial chair of the Journal, has our best wishes for his future success.—Johnstown Tri lune. The Huntingdon Republican and Journal f American have been hitched together. Cre mer of the Republican ; and McDivitt, of the Journal vacating the editorial tripod, and the united papers, under the name of the Hunt ingdon JonaxeL, coming under the manage ment of Messrs. J. A. Nash and J. R. Dur borrow. The paper has been fitted up with new type and makes a very neat and clean ap pearance.—Alloona Tribune. The Huntingdon Journal 4. American and the Republican have been consolidated, and will hereafter be issued under the title of the Huntingdon JOURNAL, by Messrs. Durborrow & Nash. The first No. comes to us enlarged and improved in appearance. The consolida tion will doubtless inure to the benefit of Re publicanism in Huntingdon, which has been distracted by factions representing rival jour nals of the same party.—Gellysburg Star. THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL.-The first num of this, our friend Durborrow's, paper has made its appearance on our table. It is the same size and style of the Inquirer and pre sents a very creditable appearance. The character of its typography, as well as its con tents, both editorial and local, has been greatly improved, and our friends, the Republicans of Huntingdon county, have great reason to re joice in the improvement. They now have a paper in every way worthy their liberal sup port. —B edford Inquirer. The Huntingdon Journal 4. American, and the Republican have been consolidated—the new paper taking the name of Huntingdon JOURNAL. R. McDivitt, Esq., of the Journal and Mr. Cremer of the Republican, retiring' Mr. Durborrow, of Bedford, and Mr. Nash of the Journal 4. American, publishers—Mr. Dur boriow, editor. They have procured a new power press, and type, and print a neat thirty two column paper. Success to them.—Holli daysburg Register. The first number of the Huntingdon Joca- CAL, under the new management, has reached us. The Journal 4- American and the Repub lican have been consolidated under the above title. The new paper is run editorially by J. R. Durborrow, of this place, and the number before us is a splendid specimen of the art typographical, and evinces editorial ability above the average standard. Mr. Durborrow brings to his new field of labor considerable experience as a newspaper writer, and we pre dict for him a sphere of usefulness in our neighboring town of Huntingdon. He is a clever, companionable gentleman, and we wish him unlimited success in all save politics.— Bedford Gazette. Among the first and most prominent of our rural contemporaries, which has thus improv ed, we notice the Huntingdon Jocaxer., pub lished by Messrs. Durborrow & Nash, and edi ted by our genial and kind friend J. R. Dur borrow, Esq. The JOURNAL looks as neat and prim in its new clothes as a gushing maiden of sixteen, and, besides, displays a large amount of typographical taste in its "make up." With the clear head and ready pen of the editor-in-chief to guid its political move ments and the long experience and good judg ment of the publisher in the newspaper busi ness to manage its appearance, the JOURNAL cannot fail to soon take a prominent place in the front rank of the great army of newspa pers in the State. We wish , its proprietors abundant success.—/Roody Run .."ress. ANOTHER SWINDLING OPERATION.— The following we find in the Bedford Inquirer, and pablish it in order to put our farmers on their guard : We are informed that a set of sharpers professing to be Western Land Agents have been swindling the people in dif ferent sections of the country. if what we learn is true, it is the most systematic fraud and wholesale swindle ever perpetarated on our people. Their modus operandi is some thing like the following : They call on a far mer who they think has a little spare money, propose to sell him Western lands, make very fair inducements and sell at very reasonable figures. They tell the buyer that unless ev erything is as represented by them, he will not have to pay for the land ; they even enter into a written contract, but at the same time require of him a negotiable note, which they sell on the first opportunity at a discount of 50 to 70 per cent., and every cent can be recovered from the man who glees the note. Our inform ant tells us that some of these same notes have been offered.to parties in Bedford at one third of their value. Or last Friday, a rock, about eight feet long, three feet in breadth and one foot thick, fell in the Riddlesburg Coal Mine instantly killing a man named Evan Jones and seriously injuring another whose name we have not learned. Busy as ever at Lewis' Red Front Grocery and Variety Store, selling all kinds of choice Groceries, &c., at prices to suit everybody. MORTALITY AMONGST OLD RESIDENTS OF BEDFORD.—Bedford has been isolated from the active world since the completion of the Pennsylvania Canal. Previously to that im portant event it was one of the most conspic uous stopping places upon the Turnpikes leading respectfully from Philadelphia and Baltimore to the Great West, and up to this period, it attaineda high state of prosperity, but with the revolution in the mode of travel, Bedford went into a sort of decline, and for a period of thirty years everything appeared to be at a stand still. The citizens became fixed instiutions--they apparently never changed. The young people grew up to manhood and womanhood and sought homes toward the setting sun, but the old people remained and but very few heads of old families appeared to pay the debt of nature. But the breaking out of the war was the signal for ushering in ar oth er era, and since then Bedford has lost many of her old and substantial residents; men who were identified with her and gave her cast and character for forty or fifty years of her existence. We have prepared the follow ing list of old citizens, the heads of families, who have died since the Ist of April, A. D. 1862, covering a period of less than nine years, and amongst them will be recognized the leading men for fifty years back: John Amos, Judge John Taylor, Rt. Rev. Thomas Heyden, Lawrence Jamison, Nicholas J. Lyons, Espey L. Anderson, Esq., Major Samuel Davis, Anthony Stuffier, George Gray, William Stahl, William Claar, Judge Peter Schell, Dr. Wm. 11. Watson, Dr. F. C. Reamer, Robert Fyan, Dr. John Compher, William Mill burn, William Bowles, Major John Sellers, Thomas Knox, Lase Mengel, Sr., Hon. James M. Russell, A. Sydney Russell, Major Samuel H. Tate, Major John Watson, William Krich baum, Michael Herring, James Farquhar, Joseph Crawley, Robert Brown, Jacob Crouse, Capt. George Smith, John Bridaham, John W. Beeler, Samuel Barnhart, Daniel Leader, Judge Wm. T. Dougherty, Hon. Alex. King, James Strong, Washington Herring, Jerry Brown and Major Lawrence Taliaferro. At least 45 per cent. of the heads of families have died within nine years, this is certainly a very striking mortality. Ten years hence, at this rate, old Bedford will have entirely disap peared. "WHAT O'CLOCK IS IT ?"—This question has been constantly obtruding itself upon us since we have been visiting Huntingdon. Ev ery few moments we have been compelled to run down the street, around the corner, across the way or somewhere else find out "votteim ittiss." It is extremely annoying. It takes up too much time. If thee would stop until we could get even with it, we would not have so much reason to complain, but—it won't. We are always behind time. Our printers are behind time, too, and "the devil is to pay" generally whether "behind time" or not. It is very provoking to use who have been accus tomed to a Town Clock for the last nineyears. Under such circumstances we had no use for a watch and now we are too poor to pay for one. We had a handsome gold-watch "once upon a time," but with a town clock to thun der out the "flight o' time," we came to the conclusion to make a fortune at one "fell swoop" and exchanged it—swopped it, you know—for a "patent right,"—a "patent gate." We opened the "gate" ant the watch stalked out never again to return, and, now, after years have rolled away, we can look back, with calmness upon the transaction, and say that it was not a paying investment; it was only the usual tax paid by "young verdant" on "patent rights." "The income tax laid on by fate," as Byron would characterize it. Since then we never infest in "patent rights," nor do we carry a watch as an unpleasant re minder of the "patent right swindle." The only way in which we can get out of this eter nal demand for "votteimittiss" is for Hun tingdon tq put up a town clock. It would regulate every body and all would move off "like clock work." Let us have a town clock. "Vonder votteimittiss ?" A SOCIETY FOR TILE PROTECTION OF SMALL BIRDS.—In a few short weeks, or a month or two at most, we will have the dear little birds paying us their annual visit, and just think of it, how many wretches stand ready, with gun in hand, to welcome them to destruction ! Sow barbarous 1 There is no one thing of so much service to the farmer and horticulturist as the little birds. Fur a number of years fruit has been the exception instead of the rule, owing to thedestructiveness of insects, which little birds, when abundant, consume almost entirely, and yet there has been very little effort makde to stay the hands of the destroyers, and preserve these useful and pretty little songsters, that cheer us in the hours of sadness and make our hearts leap for joy by their melodious songs and twitterings. We have for many months thought of organ izing a SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF IN SECTIVEHOGS BIRDS. A Society of this kind, in each county, would accomplish much good. There should be a President to secure any necessary legislation, and he should, also, vin dicate the laws upon the subject. Ile should have a secret agent, a member of the Society, or several of them, in each district in the county, to report any violations of the law and he should conduct all prosecutions. This is the only plan that we can see of putting a stop to the wholesale destruction of these valuable little creatures. Who will aid us to organize such a Society ? STATE REVENUE.—The following tax es have been paid by the county of Hunting don and her citizens to the State for the year 1870 : M. M. Logan, tax on bank stock, $ 398 83 Huntingdon and Broad Top Moun- R. R. tax on corporation 49 69 Huntingdon Gas Company, 19 58 Huntingdon county tax on person al property, 6,312 67 Huntingdon Gas Company tax on loans, 50 57 Huntingdon Gas Company tax on nett earning or income, 27 96 Huntingdon k B.

Simpson, late Prothonotary, 44 43 J. E. Smucker, Reg., and Recorder, 322 37 J. E. Smucker, Reg., and Recorder, . . . . collateral inheritance tax, 7,061 36 Samuel J. Cloyd, tavern licenses, 817 72 " Retailers licenses, 1,712 80 THE LAW OF ADVERTISLNO.—On conclusion of a suit just ended in New York, in which the publishers of a daily paper re eovercd a judgment of $774 against a mer cantile firm for advertising, some facts were brought out that the public will do well to heed. The advertisement was sent to the office by the firm, but with no accompaning order as to how many times it should be pub lished. This being the case, it was marked "till forbiden," - and published in every edition until the bill amounted to the sum above stat ed. The firm contended that it was the inten tion to have the advertisement inserted but once, but stated that they saw it appear day after day and did not order it out. They held that the publishers pursued the only course left them, and that the defendants were negligent in not sending instructions at first, or not ordering the advertisement out subse quently, and rendered a judgment for the amount of the bill. SITES FOR PRIVATE RESIDENCES.— There are no finer and picturesque sites for private residences than the numerous high bluffs contiguous to the town of Huntingdon. They only require taste and capital to make them fully as beautiful as any of the locations along the Hudson. A CHILD BURNED TO DEATII.—A lit tle girl, aged about 12 years, named Lizzie Miller, whose mother is married to a second husband by the name of Lint, and who lives with his family in a tenant house of Mr. Ben ton, in an alley off Baynes street, in the Fifth Ward, was fatally burned by the explosion of a can of carbon oil about 12i o'clock to-day, (Friday). The parents ol the child were out at the time of the accident—the mother hav ing carried the dinner of her husband to the mill, where he was at work—and there in none but circumstantial evidence as to how it oc curred. It is prettyclear, however, that the child was trying the fatal experiment of pour ing carbon oil on the fire in the stove. At the time of writing, the little sufferer is still alive but she is so sho'kingly burned as to be be yond human aid.—Johnstown Tribune. OuR young friend and fellow-townsman L. L. Plaunett, is at present living in Rich mond, Ohio, engaged as a clerk in one of the dry goods houses of that place. We mention this circumstance in view of the fact that certain rumors, prejudicial to his character, have been recently current in this place, all of which are without the slightest shadow of truth. The person who will thus wilfully manufacture and give publicity to such malicious slanders for the purpose of injuring a neighbor, is un worthy the confidence of the community, and fit for "treason, stratagem and spoils." ltEmEmnEtt Mts.—Remember this ; that while we lay stress on ourlow prices, and insist upon there being the "lowest ;" we do not rest our claims to patronage on this alone, but equally on the fact that our clothing is superior to any Ready-made Clothing to be had in the State of Pennsylvania.
