There is no better remedy for cold feet than $ slap the leg briskly just above the knee af r raising the foot. The increased circulation &duces immediate relief. Try it. An exchange has an article headed "women a dress." We have no objection to women a dress ; neither should we object in many sees to a little more dress on women. Peterson's Detector, for February 1, says : sever was there so many dangerous counter its in circulation as there are at present."— soilless folks should therefore be watchful. Maj. Thomas A. Maguire, of Cambria county, as been appointed clerk of the Select Corn tittee of the Senate on the condition of the louthern States. An excellent appointment. The Philadelphia Evening Star notes a case (itch contracted by handling old greenbacks. 7e are willing to run the risk of the contagion some of our delinquents give us the oppor inity. That haughty, little sprightly, the Bedford :ounty Press, thinks there is no salvation for luntingdon unless she gets a town clock and rater-works, and maliciously adds that "gas loss won't do the work." That's so. Any information respecting the whereabouts f Mrs. Elizabeth Cupples, formerly Elizabeth ;mailman, will be thankfully received by Jas. :apples, at Lewistown. She is supposed to e somewhere in Huntingdon county. The Miffiintown people are very much con erned in regard to a new Cottrell & Babcock tower press purchased by Messrs. Bonsai' & ackman. We have one of the finest machines n the State and we never thought worth while mention it. We had a pop visit from our young and geni_ Ll friend, A. B. Crewitt, on Monday morning est. Andy is now a resident of Gotham, where le is engaged in the hardware trade, and we .re pleased to learn is prospering. May sue ess attend him. The present style of men's hats is an exact •epresentation of the fashion of 1840. The wesent scrambled style of ladies' head-dress e of the older origin, being, according to a :ontemporary, the identical fashion which 3revailed before the invention of combs. The Bedford County Press sympathizes with our esteemed friend Spang, of Bedford, whose ;lothes-line was relieved, as one of ours was similarly, years ago, and says "it isn't pleasant to go without underclothing this cold weath er, and we hope the thieves will pony up.' " Our marksmen are practising for the "Rifle Tournament" to come off in this place on the 22d inst. Our contemporary of the Juniata Sentinel can send his "crack shots" up this way on that occasion if he wants them beaten. Huntingdon will carry off the "blue ribbon," mark ye. The excellent local of the Bedford Gazette expects to meet us at the centennial 'celebra tion on the 9th proximo. We will be there. We are anxious to know how the Democrats live at the county hotel. Ye local and his friends will get up the usual fare. We like Bomethiug guud. An exchange gives reasons for not publish ing a poetic effusion as follows : "The rhyme sounds like pumpkins rolling over a barn floor, while some of the lines appear to have been measured with a yardstick, and others with a ten-foot pole." Is this applicable to any of the "poets" hereaways. Valentine Houser, son of Mr. Christian Hou ser, of Hollidaysburg, had the flesh torn from the front part of one of his thighs, and receiv ed severe contusions on the right temple and shoulder, in consequence of the breaking of a crane while hoisting a four ton casting, a few days ago, in the Altoona Manufacturing Com pany's works. His escape from instant death was very miraculous. TIIE MONARdII OF ADVERTISERS.— What an enterprising Doctor made by a judicious use of Printer's Ink-Z.llelmbold's princely turn out.—llelmbold's big sleigh was out in the Park yesterday with a load of Judges and Generals. A Sun man, meeting the Doctor asked him how much the bells cost. "They're gold plated. There are 378 of them. They cost me $970," answered the little giant of the medical world. On further inquiry the reporter learned that the harness cost nearly $4,000, and the buffalo robes $1,850. Thinking that a man with such a turnout ought to be worth something, the reporter came down town and hunted up the Doctor's assets. Ile found them to be as fol lows : Five story Lrown stone store 594 Broadway, $2OO 000 Stock in store, 100 000 „.. Private resideace, Furniture in private residence, Stable, ------, Horses, carriages, sleighs, harness, and the finest turnout ill the world, 30 000 Stores at Long Branch, 60 000 Hotels at Long Branch, 35 000 Cottages at Long Branch, 25 000 Furnitute in cottages, 10 000 Land in Long Branch, 120 000 Stocklin the Philadelphia labratory, 150 000 The reporter learned that the Doctor owns, in addition to the above, several lots on Mad ison and Fifth Avenues, and some on the Boulevards. The reporter was assured that there was not a pencil mark against all this property. The Doctor's business is immense. The orders have reached $30,000 and $40,000 in a single day. Seven years ago he came to this city with $30,000 in his pocket. Now he is worth his millions, and spends as much money as any man in the city. "How did he make his money?" asked the reporter of the Doctor's agent. "Through t.dvertising liberally in the news papers," was the reply, "same as Bonner, Smith & Street, Ayer, and Jayne." The Doctor is advertising in 3,150 newspa pers. He buys is own merchandise, and con tracts for his advertising in such a manner that he is prepared to discount at seven per cent. per annum any obligation that may be presented. The Doctor is emphatically a self made man. He has a special fondness for yachts, and is spending large sums of money in procuring models of the Dauntless. He proposes to decorate his drug store with these models. TN MEMORTAM.—Pursuant to adjourn ment, the Court met on Tuesday, February 7, 1871, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Hon. D. Clarkson presiding. Immediately after the Court was called Samuel T. Brown, Esq., an nounced the death of J. SEWELL STEWART, Esq. and moved that the Court adjourn out 4 respect to his memory. Judge Clarkson then adjourned the Court until Thursday, the 9th inst. Immediately after adjournment a meet ing of the Court and liar was organized by calling Hon. D. Clarkson to the Chair and ap pointing J. S. Blair, Esq., Secretary. David Blair, William Dorris and Samuel T. Brown, Esqs., then made addresses in which they very feelingly bore witness to the high character for integrity, the kind heart, and the social and gentlemanly qualities of the deceased, after which William Dorris, Samuel T. Brown and M. B. Massey, Esqs., were ap pointed a committee to draft the customary resolutions. The report of this committee, as adopted by the meeting, is as follows : At a meeting of the members of the Bar, on the recent death of one of its members, reso lutions were drawn up by our brother J. SEW ELL STEWART, and after their adoption be ex pressed a desire that when he died the same resolutions should be passed. The committee appointed for that purpose have therefore adopted, with such alterations as are neces sary, those resolutions and preamble as fol lows : WHEREAS, It has pleased Divine Providence, by a rigorous and impartial enforcement of His laws, to sever the cord that bound our late brother, J. Sewell Stewart, to things earthly and to translate his spirit to that pu rer and happier sphere where sorrows never come and temptations have no power to al lure. Resolved, That while deploring the untimely death of this generous, kind and truthful man, we tender to her, who was his faithful and loving wife, and to his children, our condo lence in their great bereavement. Resolved, That as members of the Bar wo will attend his funeral in a body. Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be presented to the family of the deceased; and that copies be furnished to the town papers for publication. D. CLARKSON, J. S. BLAIR, Chairman. Secretary. SKETCHES.—Dear Editor : If you will devote me the space, I propose to write a sketch of the different townships of our county, be lieving or hoping they will prove interesting to the readers of the JOURNAL, or at least to those of the respective districts. And to be gin I will take JUNIATA. TOWNSHIP. It evidently takes its name from our "Blue Juniata" river. It is one of the smallest town ships, though not the least in area, containing about twelve square miles. It is bounded on the North by Walker and the Juniata river; on the East by the Juniata river and Terrace Mountain, the latter separating it from Union township ; on the South by Terrace Mountain and Penn township, and on the West by Penn and Walker townships. The territory is somewhat mountainous and some of the laud not very productive. In its Valleys and along Raystown Branch of the Juniata, which meanders from South to North are to be found some of the most clever people of the county. The Assistant Marshal of the district, for taking the last census, reports her as having a population of three hundred and ninety-five inhabitants. Juniata is not by any means an old town ship—having only been organized in 1857. By the assessment of 1870 she has 82 taxa ble inhabitants, and for the same year is as sessed with $248.22 for county tax ; $18,03 for State and $14,00 for militia purposes. I cannot give the amount of tax for her school purposes. I wish that her educational system ranked higher than it does. Five schools with the average number of months taught, but four. Not one female teacher, and the average salary of the gentlemen who taught but $25,- 65. Seventy-eight males and forty-four fe male pupils, making an average of nearly twenty-four scholars per school. Quite a suf ficient number of scholars, but to prosper with our age, I must say to the directors, you must pay better wages and have longer terms if you want good schools. Politically she is all right. The last Presidential vote stood 58 for Grant and 21 for Seymour. Hotels there are none, but the lager beer or ale establishment, on the opposite side of the river from Huntingdon, is well known to citi zens as a place where "suckers" are want to go—on Sunday. More anon. COMPULSORY EDUCATION.—Mr. Editor: As our Democratic friends are painfully exer cised in regard to the question of compulsory education, we commend to them the following extract from "Lectures on Law" by James Wil son, L. L. D., late one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court U. S. Vol. 2, page 235, [1804.] "In the reign of Charles the Second, the lords of the -ommittee on plantations trans mitted to Virginia a series of inquiries con cerning the condition of the Colony. Among the angwerg roturned by Sir William Berkeley, who was then its Governor, we find the follow ing one, too extraordinary to be passed with out particular notice : '1 thank God, there are no free schools, nor printing ; and I hope we shall not have, these hundred years. For learning has brought disobedience, and heresy, and sects into the world; and printing has di vulged them and libels against the best gov ernment God keep us from both By the Court of Charles this prayer was received most graciously; and, agreeably to its principle, a succeeding Governor was ordered 'to allow no person to use a printing press on any occasion whatever.' " THE Miners in the Broad Top Coal region have been on a strike for several weeks. Our impression is that it is a kind of a back handed strike. The miners are about the worst hurt. WE kart, from the Piiiebxirgh Commer cial, that President Hughart, on a tour to the Ohio Pile Falls, reports that the building of the road in that vicinity has been greatly re tarded by slips, which for the past month have occurred very often, but that the greatest ob stacles have been removed and that track lay ing will now proceed at the rate of from a mile to a mile and a half per day. On Monday last trains passed over the bridge of Bear Run, which is 150 feet long and 52 feet from the water and is 21 miles east of Connellsville• The Brook Tunnel, which is GOO feet in lengths will not be completed for some time yet, bu a temporary track has been laid around and across the mountain, so that there will be no delay whatever on that account. The track encounters a grade of 185 feet to the mile. Shoo Fly Pinkerton and Sand Patch Tunnels are all completed and ready for the track. On the eastern division the track has been laid a considerable distance west of Southampton. The contractors are proceeding with the track at the rate of 2,500 to 3000 feet a day. Mr. Hughart is confident that at present rates of laying track the road will be ready for the t ransportation of freight by the 15th of Febru ary. The formal opening and grand excur sion in honor of the road will, it is stated, not take place until sometime in March or later, as the company desires to have the road in first class order before running regular passenger trains by schedules. 25 000 30 000 £545 000 A "CITIZEN" writes under date of En nisville, February 12th, as follows : "We are gratified with the appearance of our new HUNTINGDON JOURNAL. It opens out bright and clean, neat and new from its clear caption to its final column. Its contents af ford us a very wholesome pabulam ; we enjoy the stimulus and welcome every issue. The citizens of Jackson township never revel in dailies. the weeklies are therefore the more appreciated. We seldom write for newspa pers, being but slightly acquainted with Edi tors and unable to surmount a delicacy of feeling which intrudes when we attempt to write for immortality. But if you will come and see us we will fill a tripple sheet for you. Our resources are inexhaustible. We have ties for a railroad, stone for a turnpike, sensa tion enough for a bulletin board, and news enough for a telegraph." [We would be much gratified to pay such a highly favored community a visit, if we could only find time to do so, but we will be happy to see "citizen" when he comes to town and to take him by the hand and make his personal acquaintance.—ED. JOURNAL.] HOW TO TAKE NEWSPAPERS.—A let ter under date of West Zanesville, Ohio, ad dressed by Hugh Madden, to Mr. Nash, says "Enclosed you will find five dollars to settle up for the JOURNAL AND AMERICAN, and apply the balance as subscription to that elegant pa per THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL. The Hunting don Jountw. of 1835 was the first newspaper that I ever read, or at least the first I ever sub scribed for. I was hardly able to pay for it then. I now take, in addition to the JOURNAL, the Zanes ville Courier, the Zanesville Signal, the New York Ledger, the New York Independent, and often the Cincinnati daily Commercial, and yet I am able and very willing to pay for them all, believing, as I do, that money is always laid out to good advantage when paid for good newspapers, and I think you will agree with me that I have made some good selections. As I was born and raised in the hills of old Huntingdon county I always feel glad to hear from there, therefore, the JOURNAL is a very welcome visitor." REMOVAL.—"The Union Bank of Hun tingdon" has been removed to the new room, in Cunningham's building, finished: special ly for its business. The vault is a master piece of workmanship, being built in such a manner as to defy the assaults of burglars or the fury of the flames. It is constructed of large square stones, cemented and fastened together by iron "dogs," and the safe inside of it is one of the best manufactured, while everything about the room bears evidence of security. The counter is EL beautiful one, and reflects credit on the manufacturers, Burch inell It Son. This is a reliable institution, and our clever and handsome friend, C. C. North, the efficient Cashier, an affable and courteous gentleman. SOMERSET must be an awful place to get married in. We picked up the Herald the other day and waded through a column to find that our friend J. C. Wright, of Bedford, had done right once in his life, and had gone and taken unto himself a wife ; but the way they go on about it in Somerset is enough to scare a man out of his wits during all the bal ance of his natural life. Is it a new thing to get married up there ? We will wager our old hat that there will not be a wedding there for the next ten years. No doubt John considered it Wright good Pteking. THE RAILROAD.—Work on the Bed ford & Bridgeport Railrord is being rapidly pushed. We learn that on the Bridgeport end about eight miles of the grading has already been completed. Between this place and Bedford the contractors are hurrying matters with commendable zeal. The work on both ends begins to show for itself, and it is really cheering to witness the progress that is being made. By the first of August, at the farthest, it is expected that the "iron horse" will be heard to scream for the first time in Bedford. Glory —Bedford County Press. A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—David S. Black, jr., an employee in Burchinell k Son's Planing Mill, in this place, on last Wednes day morning, while working at a machine call ed the "sticker," endeavored to change it while in motion, and the wrench slipped and carried his hand beneath the chisel, which cut away the thumb and index finger of the left hand and otherwise terribly mutilated it. Drs. Brumbaugh and Miller were called in and dressed it. At the last accounts the young man was suffering very much with the wound. PROTECTION OF RABBITS.—The fol lowing bill has passed the Senate : An act to prevent the destruction of rabbits be tween the first of January and fifteenth of Oc- SECTION 1. Be it enacted, etc., That hereaf ter it shall not be lawful for any person in this Commonwealth to kill or have unlawfully in his possession, or expose for sale any rabbit, between the first of January and the fifteenth of October, in each year, under a penalty of five dollars for each and every rabbit so killed or unlawfully had in possession or exposed for sale. DR. EVELYN 0. PORTER, assistant ed itor of the Bedford County Press, died of Con sumption, at the residence of D. S. Elliott, Esq., in Bloody Run, the 7th of February, inst., aged 30 years. He was found dead in his room. He was a fine scholar, having been educated for an Episcopal Minister. He sub sequently graduated at Jefferson Medical Col lege, Philadelphia. JUNIUS.

N. dolder, of Alexandria, this county, was convicted in Judge WCandlas' Court, at Pittsburgh, for illicit distilling and sentenced to pay a fine of $l5O and costs of prosecution and to undergo an imprisonment of six months in the county prison. THE Press is assured that we have no further suggestions to make. The local of the Gazette took our former kind suggestions as personal. We hope, however, that the scales will soon fall from his eyes as large as the scales from the sides of the Bedford County Alms-House. HENRY J.

SEWELL STEWART, ESQ. Mr. Stewart was born in West township, in this county. on the Ist day of March, 1819. He gradu ated, with distinction, at Meadville College in the fall of 1840, when he came to Huntingdon and commenced reading law with James Steel, Esq. He was admitted to the bar in April, 1843, and from that time he has been actively engaged in the duties of his profession until 1865, when he was ap pointed Assessor of U. S. Revenue, for the XVIIth District. From 1848 to 1856, he was District At torney. In 1851 and 1352, he was Editor and Pro prietor of the Hu BriNonox JOUICNAL. As a member of the bar he established a reputa tion for scrupulous honesty and fidelity in watch ing the interests of his clients. Having strong self-control, he was rarely thrown off his guard in the trial of causes, and in his demeanor towards the Court, witnesses and opposing counsel, was al ways respectful and gentlemanly. In this particu lar his example is well worthy of emulation. Mr. Stewart was a student by nature, and in ad dition to a well stored legal mind, he had traversed the fields of literature and science so successfully, that his opinion was generally sought after by our citizens on all questions of a scientific nature. He gave much time to literary pursuits, and some of his writings, especially his poems, have had a wide circulation. With the kindliest feelings towards mankind he was an earnest advocate of every scheme calculated to elevate and advance the interests of his fellow creatures of every race, and tongue, and color, and the principle of his life appeared to be to confer the greatest good upon the greatest number. Kind, genial, sprightly, and original in conver sation; overflowing with wit and humor, he was the life of every circle. Ills society was always sought after, and he was universally honored and beloved. "With malice toward none, he had char ity to all," and we do not believe he loft a■ enemy on earth. The news of SEWELL'S death flashed over our community bringing sorrow to many hearts. No common man has fallen in our midst! How sud denly has he laid clown the daily, pressing cares and burdens of life, and leaving home, wife, chil dren, friends, gone to his rest! How emphatically does Providence, in this dispensation, speak to as, "lie ye also ready." Miscellaneous, T R.
