We have secured the servi ces of a first-class job printer and are pre pared to do anything in the jobbing line at Philadelphia prices. Give us a call. THE GILOIVTII or lILTNTINGDON.—The growth of our borough during recent years, the prospects of its continued improvement and expansion, and the means by which its ex tent and importance may be increased, are to : pies of frequent discussion among our citizens and in which all of our people seem to be in terested. We; believe that subjects, to which so much importance is attached, are well worthy of some attention in these columns, and that we cannot give place to anything more valuable, in a local point of view, than a retrospect of our late progress, and some sug gestions as to the manner in which our advan tages and resources may be most rapidly de veloped and improved and the greatest general prosperity secured. It requires no effort of memory to recollect the time when Huntingdon was in size a mere village, surpassed in spirit and enterprise by many neighboring country villages; when like a wagon with the lock applied to its wheels, it seemed as difficult to move back. ward as forward ; when Standing Still was a more appropriate name than "Standing Stone." Those of our oldest citizens, who were born about the time the first foundation was laid here, might have believed that they had lived to see Huntingdon a finished toil'', but this delusion cannot longer exist. It has been driven from intelligent minds by the light of passing events. The spirit of improvement commenced to revive about the close of the war. At that time "the town" lay east of Charles street, and although the borough limits extended more than a mile further west, those who had ven tured to build beyond that street were looked upon as irretrievably lost in the country. That part was regarded as too distant for the resi dence of any but the few whose business call ed them in that direction and those who had no business anywhere. It is not strange, therefore, that the men who then had capital to invest in fine houses preferred to build in the old town. The cheap -. ness at which lots could be obtained in West Huntingdon was the inducement Oat first led people to buy there. Many purchasers, whose object was to secure homes within their means, scarcelyimagined, that at this early day, their property, not including improvements, would be worth from two hundred to four hundred per cent. more than it cost them. So rapid was its increase in value that men of wealth, taste and foresight became anxious to be own ers there and were willing to pay six hundred, eight hundred and even a thousand dollars,for lots that sold five years ago, for two hundred dollars each. The result of this is that West Huntingdon is to-day, as far as it has progress ed, more beautiful and attractive in appearance than Old Huntingdon. The buildings on Washington street, from Fulton to Locust, in the former, a distance of five squares, are, as a class, superior to those on Hill street, from St. Clair to Charles, in the latter, also a dis tance of five squres. But if West Huntingdon had never been built, and no other improvements had been made-than those in the Old Town, our people would have just reason for pride. Onr finest structures have been the work of a few years past, while in the northern part of the borough and in Oneida township, which is in fact but a suburb of Huntingdon, the comfor table dwellings that have been built, or are In process of erection, are scarcely less numer ous than in West Huntingdon. That we have commenced another year that will be more remarkable than any preced ing one, for the growth and progress of Hunt ingdon, is the opinion of the intelligent por tion of our community. Capitalists are turn ing their attention to this place for opportuni ties of investment, and prices are offered for lands in this vicinity,which by the short-sight ed, are considered extravagant. But we may safely conclude that those,who have the money to dispose of, are wiser than the ones who can not see how it is to be profitably invested here. The relative facilities offered by different points in this State for the establishment of manufactures are at the present time being carefully inquired into and compared. Be tween several towns a warm rivalry has sprung up as to which possesses the greatest advantages in this respect. Harrisburg and Lebanon are discussing their comparative merits and competing for the location of con templated works. The argument of one is that it is situated in the midst of a vast iron ore region and that iron manufactures can be more successfully and cheaply carried on there than in the neighboring town. The other in sists that the railroad systems, of which it is the centre, afford conveniences for the trans portation of coal, lumber and iron, which the first is deficient in. Thus disinterested parties dare convinced that neither offers all the in dacenteuts necessary to make it the seat of ex tensive manufactures. Where can we find a combination of the advantages claimed by both these towns? Certainly ta Huntingdon. Our ore fields cover the whole county. In the west ern, southern and southeastern parts they are inexhaustible. They extend from the Juniata river, opposite Huntingdon, to the Maryland line. We have also coal in abundance. After we finish the under-mining of Broad Top, though our prophets have not told us when that will be, the Clearfield, Centre and Allegheny re gions will still be open to us. Our railroad facilities are as good as could be desired, and are soon to be added to by the com pletion of the road from Mt. Dallas to Bridge port, and, we hope, by the making of the Lewis burg, Centre and Spruce Creek and the Buffalo and Washington roads, the latter traversing the country from the Fulton county line to Mount Union. The proposed enlargement of the Pennsylvania canal is also a project the value of which we will not attempt to predict. We arc unsurpassed in everything but en terprise. And as we lack originality, we might well follow the example Oct us by the town of Columbia. There the citizens, by public meetings, the appointment of com mittes, the wide p"uidication and circulation of their proceedings, and other means, are at tracting the attention of manufactures to that place. Owners of available sites for machine shops, furnaces, mills, and other works are offering to contribute lauds and to sell more at fair prices, and the probability is that Colum bia, with not half the advantages, will soon be far ahead of Huntingdon. The difficult question to determine and the one which is most likely to divide the moneyed men, is in what particular place in or about the borough should manufacturing establish. meats be located. We have conflicting per sonal interests and men who are selfish enough to think that whatever is for their individual benefit should be adopted. Such persons are more injurious than useful. They must take back seats in the advance our borough is des tined to make. Our factories, furnaces and rolling-mills must be erected at the points which offer the best facilities and which will insure the greatest return for the money to be invested. If West Huntingdon is such a place, let it be selected. If water power, that un tiring worker,taking neither food nor fuel, is required, it can be found in extent beyond all necessity, between the canal and river, below Burchinell's planing mill. If superior advan tages are offered on the other side of the Ju niata, lot that be the place for improvements. Each must so far ignore what seems to 'be best for himself as to co-operate harmonously iu measures intended for the general good. Until this is done the locks so long applied to the wheels will not be removed. A Mar.—lnstead of getting your old over coat done up, give it away.

We present it to our readers with pleasure, and hope others will take similar interest in dem onstrating the resources of their respective neighborhoods : I like the spirit of enterprise you show in your paper in encouraging the manufacturing interests of the community, and particularly the iron interest. I read with pleasure, an article in your paper on the 18th ult., speak ing of the town of Huntingdon as a good place for manufacturing purposes. This is my idea exactly, and I have told the people of Hun tingdon so, frequently. "You speak of the ores in Woodcock Valley and in Tussey's Mountain, and mention some. thirg of the ores near Orbisonia. I will give you a description of this part of the county and of the deposits of ore that have come under my notice. The same kind of ore is to be found here that is in Woodcock Valley. There is a vein of 36 inches running through the Black Log Mountain, some 600 feet above the water level, whirls we have worked. This vein is on our lands for eight miles. The Black Log Mountain runs parallel with Tus sey's Mountain. This ore makes iron of a cold short character. There is fully as much of it here as there is in Woodcock Valley. "But the mineral wealth of this end of the county lies principally in the deposites of Hemotite Ore which is in great abandance. The discovery of this ore-has been made with in the last three years. We have found it on, I may say, hundreds of "acres within the last month. I have come on a vein of it seven feet in thickness, and we have tested it for some 400 feet in depth. This ore is the most valuable of any in the State—it makes a very strong iron and is very much sought , after for the purpose of mixing with other ores that are not so strong. " Huntingdon county has an abundance of ore and coal and is no doubt destined to be a great iron county at some future day; all that is required, isZthat the people become in terested for the good of the county and for future generations. There is a large quantity of coal land on the east side of Broad Top, and the coal can only be taken out on that side. It looks as though a railroad would be built from East Broad Top to the Pennsylva nia Central and run through this Valley. Should this be the case it will be a great thing for this county; and Tor your town. In order to make good iron, different kinds of ore ought to be used, and all the ores which are necessary, as well as coal and lime stone, are within easy distances of Huntingdon. Our ores contain from 4o to 54 per cent. of pure metal. " It seems to me that if the people of Hun tingdon county do not wish to invest in the manufacturing business themselves, they should take some action by which their re sources can be made known to those who would do something towards developing them. There is certainly no better locality in the State for the manufacturing of iron than the town of ,Huntingdon." ATTEMPTED MURDER.-On Friday morning the tranquility of our city was dis turbed by the report that an assault, with in tent to kill,had been made upon Andrew Feay, an employee in the New Car Shops of the P. R. R. Co., in the First Ward, by a man named Hamilton Starr, employed in the machine shop. Shortly after the employees of the shops had assembled for the purpose of commencing their daily avocations, Hamilton Stars entered the Car shop and inquired for Andrew Fcay. The latter was working under a car in close prox imity, and was pointed out to him. Advanc ing towards Petty, Starr deliberately took aim at him and fired, whereupon the assailed, see ing the danger to which his life was, exposed, turned and fled, rapidly followed by his assail ant, who was all the while firing, the employees joining in• the chase and endeavoring to get pos-ession of the revolver, now in the hands of a man whose heart.seemed to be on fire, and whose demoniacal expression caused not a few, who witnessed the tragedy, to craze with fear and excitement. In an adjoining shop,a ball from the revoker had the effect of bringing Feay to the ground, whereupon his assailant rushed upon bins in his helpless condition, and fired several shots before the spectators of the aw ful scene could succeed in extricating Feay from his perilous situation. _ . Feay was immediately conveyed to his resi dence, on Eleveth avenue, and Dr. Fay sum moned. Upon examination of the wounds it was discovered that five of the shots fired had taken effect. Two entering the back of the neck and passing out at the Mouth, two entering the shoulder, and the other entering the arm. The Doctor was of the opinionthat the wounds would not prove fatal, and we since learn, that nnder the care of his skillful physician, Feay has so famaecovered as to be able to walk in his room. After committing the deed, Starr surren dered himself to Mr. Levi Geesey, and was taken before Alderman McCormick, for a hear ing. lie was subsequently placed in the lock up until a commitment was made out, When lie was given in charge of two-police officers who had him heavily ironed and conveyed to prison, at liolliday-sburg, to await the result of Feay's wounds.—Altoona Tribune. THE PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE IN PAT TERSON, BURNED TO TIIE GROUND.— Another disastrous fire occurred in our phice on Monday of this week. A little before 11 o'clock, a. m., of that day the roof of Mackey's Pennsylvania House, near the rail road, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was at once given, and the citzens of both towns flocked to the place. It was soon apparent that the Hotel property could not be saved, and the efforts of those present were directed to saving the personal property and and the adjoining buildings. The engine re paired by our authorities since the late fire done effective work. It was a calm day, the snow was falling fast, water- in abundance was convenient—which added to the constant, indefatigable labors of hundreds of men and woMen, - prevented the fire from spreading. The losses sustained, as far t.s we received them, arc as follows : F. M. Mackey, hotel,- valued -at $6,000, in sured for $3,400 in the Lyeomiug, company. Win. Young, occupant, personal property, loss $O,OOO no insurance. J. Fennel, store goods, loss $2,500, fully in sured. Mrs. Mickey, personal property, loss $6OO, no insurance. Wm. Wright, loss to building and personal property $l,OOO, insured in Lebanon com pany. Besides these, the personal property was removed from the following dwellings, and were more or less injured: F. Roam, Mr. Loudenslager, D. A. Doughman, Mrs. Ilan- The Lewistown fire company was sent for, but owing to the engine breaking down did not arrive in time. The fire was undoubtedly accidental, and no blame is attached to any one.—Juniata Rep. of last ?reek. A PRETTY ORNAMENT:—A pretty or ment may be obtained by suspending an acorn by a piece of thread tied around it, within half an inch of the surface of some water con tained in a vase, tumbler, or saucer, and allow ing it to remain undisturbed for several weeks- It will soon burst open, and small roots will seek the water ; a straight and tapering stem, with beautiful glossy.green- leaves, will shoot upward and present a very pleasant appear ance. Chestnut trees may be grown this man ner but their leaves are not so beautiful as those of the oak. The water should be chang ed once a month, taking care to suply water of the same warmth ; bits of charcoal added to it will prevent the water from souring. If the leaves turn yellow, put a grain of nitrate of amnia in the vessel which holds the water, and it will renew their luxurlante. Go to A. R. Stewart & Co., And buy one of their Silver light or organd oil Burners. 2m• "The Ifuntidgdon Journal, makes a very creditable appearance.
