WATER WouKs.—These columns have contained very little in regard to the all-im portant subject of a competent supply of water for the town of Huntingdon. There appeared to be a wholesome agitation outside of the press that indicated that the subject was fully ripe and that the proper authorities would take the necessary steps to accomplish the rnmh desired and greatly needed end. But there is a time in all projects of this kind when a good and well directed word May give a fresh im petus to its friends, and cause those who have done and said nothing heretofore, to lend a well supplied and vigorous hand. This is the object of this article. Everybody admits the necessity for Water Works. But does everybody in the town and vicinity comprehend the absolute haste which is necessary ? Because, if they do not, we as sure them that haste is necessary. How much time will it require to erect Water Works, and put them in a condition to be of service in the case of emergency? Not less than nine months or a year. This is a long time, and it is ex ceedingly doubtful, whether eighteen or twen ty months will not be necessary to put them in a condition that they could be of service in case of a large fire. Now, when we take into consideration the remarkable fact that very destructive fires have been experienced on the line of the railroad, both east and west of Huntingdon, and that Huntingdon has escaped while the one-third of Mifflin has been destroy ed and Lewistown and Altoona very severely af flicted, it behooves us to make haste. The very next tap of the bell may sound the alarm of fire, and a single hour may destroy more property than would pay for competent Water Works two or three times over. The only rea son that we can give for the escape of Hun tingdou, up to this time, is the fact that Hun tingdon is growing very rapidly, and there is abundant employment for all her mechanics and artisans. There is no better evidence that a town has ceased to grow than when it has frequent fires. While the great body of me chanics and artisans are strictly honest, and they will, no doubt, consider this a severe re flection upon them, yet if they will remember that one evil disposed person in a thousand. and this is a very small proportion, can destroy enough to keep all of them employed for months and years they will see the force of the logic. if you want to keep men out of mischief you must keep them employed. Huntingdon has gathered up a large population of working men and can you keep them employed? The moment these men are thrown out of employ ment some wretched one may find means to make employment for the whole number. We throw out these hints because such is the ex perience of the world. Let Huntingdon put herself in proper raiment. Just here another important question arises, whore is tho water to come from ? One says, "Well, from Stone-creek I" another says, "It can be taken from the river," and a third, from some one of the springs within three, four or five miles of the town. The first question to be disposed of, is, what kind of water do you want, hard or soft ? Soft of course. A very serious objection to Huntingdon, at pres ent, is, it is supplied with hard water from the numerous wells. A great many people abso lutely refuse to live in a town where soft water cannot be had. Good house-wives know, only too well, the value of soft water, and if soft water can be had it shoujd be procured even if it cost one-half more. In fact the question of cost should not fie taken into consideration if it con be had at all. Now, then, you are the best judges as to where it can be had or whether it can be had or not. We plead our ignorance. but as a faithful guardian of the best interests of the community, we desire to set you to thinking and we hope you will not consume too much time in thinking either, but that you will commence acting without delay. We hope that you will have no difficulty in determining to secure soft water, and at a place high enough to run it into the fourth or fifth story of a house without having to force it into a reservoir. The high bluffs and moun tains in the neighborhood of Huntingdon cer tainly ought to have some springs, if husban ded in artificial reservoirs, which would afford a sufficient supply and of the kind of water desired. Those acquainted with the topogra phy of the country ought to be able to give the desired information. As to the cost, we are unable to give any thing but a mere guess, but we cannot see how they would cost over $50,000 or $75,000. And suppose they cost $lOO,OOO, bonds could be issued payable in ten, fifteeen and twenty years that would be met without scarcely an effort. Go to work and place the town in a condition to enable the people to successfully resist the fire fiend when he comes, and every day's delay only brings us nearer to the day when we have to meet him. HUNTINGDON AS A POINT FOR THE MANIFACTIIRS OF IRON.-Mr. Editor :—Among the iron men of Pennsylvania it is now con ceded that the manufacture of iron with An thracite coal, must be abandoned. The limi ted area of the Anthracite coal field ; the con stantly increasing demand for domestic pur poses ; the frequent stoppage of supply, in consequence of strikes among the miners ; the constant fluctuation in price, often amounting to a dollar a ton, and lastly the fact that Bi tuminous coal is better suited for the manu facture of iron, than Anthracite, have caused the thinking men engaged in this business care fully to consider the question, where can iron be most profitably manufactured in Pennsyl vania with Bituminous coal ? We answer most unhesitatingly, that Hun tingdon has advantages orer any other point in the State, for the following reasons 1. We have an unlimited supply of iron ore, of the best quality, accessible by railroad and canal. It passes through our town daily to Johnstown and Danville, and if it pays to car ry it such distances, it would pay to manufac ture it here. The fossil ore, from the eastern slope of Tussey's Mountain can be brought by the Broad Top Railroad to Huntingdon fora sum not exceeding $2.90 per ton, and Hems atite ore for mixing can be brought from the same locality or from the southern end of the county, for the same price. 2. Huntingdon has the choice of the best Bituminous coal, at minimum rates. The Broad Top, Clearfield and Allegheny coals can all be delivered here at an average rate of $l.lO per ton. The almost entire freedom from sul phur, which characterizes some of these coals, renders them invaluable for making good iron, whilst the Coke they yield has no superior. - . 3. There is an abundance of Liniestone of first quality, within three miles, immediately on Railroad and Canal. _ _ 4. Huntingdon lies in the heart of the re gion, which produces the best iron for wire, imitation Russian iron, boiler plate and with out taking time to speak of her advantages such as the healthy location, the abundance of water, the cheapness of building materials, the quality of our clay for brick: I wish to call the attention of capitalists to the fact that some of the wealthy iron and Anthracite coal men have lately made large purchases of coal and mineral lands in this county, and one of our best informed iron manufacturers says that within a few years Huntingdon county will be the great iron pro ducing region of the State. We are pleased to learn that one of our for mer townsmen, Robert Hare Powell, Esq., now of Philadelphia, contemplates the erection of a furnace and rolling mill here or in this vi cinity. With that far-sightedness which has always characterized ate business operations, he was a pioneer in developing the Broad Top coal field, and after working it so successfully as to become the largest shipper of Bitumin ous coal in the State, he directed his attention to the iron ores of the county, and has secured a tract some twelve miles in extent, probably the most valuable mineral deposit in Pennsylvania. He is now preparing to make iron and it is the universal desire of his former townsmen that he should erect the works at this place. We may again ask room in your valuable paper for some further remarks on this ques tion so important to the citizens of our town and county. PEARL DROP.—This is an excellent article for beantifyink the complexion, as will be attested by those who have tried it. Man. ufactured and for sale by Mrs. L. A. Hamer. Druggists and Milliners supplied. THE LOCAL EDITOR.—What at un fortunate fellow the local editor is, to be sure, and how much is expected of him. If a man buys a new horse or buggy, or if hiNtow can bawl, three times without winking, "local" is expected to proclaim the fact with a great flourish. Hite starts a two penny business, his first thought is to bribe the "locil" with a five cent segar to write up a five dollar puff. Indeed, he thinks it is the mission of the "lo cal" to make his fortune for him by "free blowing." He will take the "local" to one side and point out the superior qualities of a rat-terrier dog, and coolly ask him to "give the pup a hoist." He don't care anything about it, only Spriggins has a dog that lie thinks is a buster, and some of 'em wanted his ' put in" just to take the conceit out of Spriggins. Oh, yes, "put it in" by all means. Everybody wants us to "put it in" that they are the "GREAT I Au," but nobody says: "Here local, put yourself inside this new suit of clothes, or throw yourself outside of this oyster stew, or stuff this watch in your pocket." Oh, no, of course not ; that would cost something. The shoe is on the other foot, you see. The "local" is supposed to know everything about other people's business, and is expected to "show.up" all the actors in every family broil in town. If the vile tongue of scandal finds a victim, people wonder that he don't run about with his note book and gather up the vituper ative bits of slander for the paper. If he steps into the billiard saloon he is requested to make a note of the astonishing fact that Bill Thompkins has just made a "run of 11 points." When the minstrel troupe arrives in town, the agent immediately rushes for the printing of fice and calling for the "local" he slips three or four tickets into his hand and whispers— " Draw us a big house!" "Put it in strong!" and patting him patronizingly on the shoulder the agent admits the inferiority of the troupe, but we are not to "let on." It is no sin for tke "local" to lie. Toplease the lecturer, the "local" is forced to sit two mortal hours to bear him through an insipid discourse so that he can "write him up." And so it goes. All are anxious to appear favorably in print, but few are willing to pay for it. The "local's" time is worth nothing. He has nothing to do but to bother his brains in writing puffs for ambitious parsons. It don't cost him any thing to live. He never eats, or drinks, or travels, and money is of no use to him. "Put it in 1" "Put it in I"—Gazette and Democrat. A MODEL CONDUCTOR.—"DoIph" Faro is the man! "Dolph"—every body calls him "Dolph"—has been running on the Broad Top Railroad for fourteen years. On the 29th of March, 1857, he entered into the employ of the Broad Top Company and from that date until the present, with the exception of three months, some years ago, he has daily vibrated between Huntingdon and the south ern terminus of the Broad Top Railroad. Of that time some eight or ten years have been spent as Conductor. No wonder every body speaks to him and familiarly calls him "Dolph." His good natured face ought to be known by every man, woman and baby along the route, and some of the cattle ought even to know him and thank him for their existence. "Dolph" is knd and accom modating to every body and he minds his own business. Every body consequently respects him and loves him. There is no "fuss and feathers" about him. He goes about his vo cation without any flourish of trumpets. We have ridden with him any number of times and we have never heard "Dolph" have an al tercation with a passenger or any body else in our experience which is a customary thing on some other railroads. In fact it is expected, but with such conductors as "Dolph" there is no necessity for any thing of the kind. And one of the most interesting features of this notice, is, that in the fourteen years that he has run on Broad Top he has never seen or had a passenger hurt on the train on which he is employed. Broad Top is sometimes sneered at and called a shaky road, and people who travel it are expected to say their prayers be fore crossing each and every trestle, and have their lives insured to boot, but we are very much in doubt whether there is another road in the United States that can give a similar experience. "Dolph," Broad Top should make thee a present of a handsome little villa, on some of those elevated points along the line, where in thy old age, thou canst look down upon the road which, in thy better years, thou didst serve sd well, and from whence thou canst pass from this earthily tabernacle to that House not made with hands, eternal in the Hesvens. BLACK VALLEY BRANCH R. 11.—Black Valley is a small valley apparently starting at the Raystown Branch of the Juniata river, about a mile above Bloody Run, lying between Tussey's Mountain on the West and Clear Ridge on the East, and extending to the Po tomac river in Maryland a distance of twenty- Eve miles. It appears to be a continuation of Woodcock Valley somewhat contracted. In this little valley large deposits of iron ore have been found similar to those found in Wood cock Valley. James Morley, Esq., the Mining Engineer of the Cambria Iron Company, we are told, pronounces them of the best quality and to be almost inexhaustible in quantity. Heavy purchases have been made here by Messrs. Lowry, Eichelberger & Co., The Cam bria Iron Company and some eastern and other parties. We are positively assured that a branch railroad, leaving the Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad at the south end of the bridge across the river, a few rods above Mt. Dallas, then hugging the base of Tussey's Mountain to the mouth of the valley, will be built to enable those parties to get oat their ores. This branch will be of great impor Lance to the people of Bloody Run. Let the good work go bravely forward. LOCAL LEGISLATION.—The following bill, handed us by a friend, has been offered in the Senate, and we lay it before our readers that they may see what disposition is trying to be made of the county fouls: "AN ACT to authorize the commissioners of Huntingdon county to pay to the supervi sors of Shirly and Tell townships one thous and dollars to make a certain road. SEC. 1. Be it enacted the by Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That the commissioners of the county of Huntingdon are hereby authorized and re quired, to appropriate the sum of one thous and dollars out of any moneys in the county treasury, for the purpose of aiding the town ships of Shirly and Tell, in said county in mak ing a road recently laid out, commencing at Thomas J. Morrison's in Shirley township and ending at the mill of Richard Silverthorn, in Tell township, and confirmed at the last Au gust sessions of the court of quarter sessions of Huntingdon. Provided, that the said money shall be equally divided between the said townships and the county commissioners of said county shall pay the same to the supervi sors thereof." DISTRESSING ACCIDENT—A Aran Falls 6 Di6(611. of Forty Feet through a Hatchway.— A young man named John Dossier, aged 17 years, an employe. at the Huntingdon Furnace Mill, in Morris township, met with an accident, on Monday of last week, which resulted in his death a few hours afterwards. He was engag ed in hoisting grain to the upper story of the building, and while in the act of drawing a bag from the opening in the floor, he feel and was precipitated to the basement, a distance of over forty feet. His skull was fractured, and after lingering a few hours death relieved him of his suffering. He was a sober, indus trious young man, and his shocking death is deeply mourned by those who knew him.

HUNTINGDON, Pa., Feb. 15, '7l. This is to certify that we, the undersigned, were invited to act as J7DGES at a cosTesr be tween the Howe Sewing Machine, operated by Miss A. Atkinson, traveling Agent for the Howe, from Wilmington, Delaware, and the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine, operated by J. James Davis, of Huntingdon, Pa., all par ties were favored with the kindness extended by D. R. P. Neely and lady, to the use of their parlor for the TEST, after watching both par ties closely for nearly three hours, and close ly examining all the work, we must say that the work done by the Wheeler A Wilson was better, neater, closer, and the speed far sur passed, that of the Howe. The Wheeler & Wilson is renowned for its simplicity, Dura bility and light running. Judges, M. C. M'CAULEY, T. M. COLDER. Witnesses, Mrs. L. 11. NEELY, Mrs. LOUSIA LEWIS, CHAS. 11. GLAZIER. The judges appointed by the Howe operator refused to give a decision either way. INSURED.—WiII. C. Curry, a prominent citizen of Erie, Pa., killed by the late accident on the Hudson River railroad, held a yearly accident policy of $lO,OOO in the Traveler's Insurance Co., of Hartford Connecticut, on which the bremiuin paid was only fifty dollars. The Traveler's lose by the same accident, $lO,OOO on W. H. Forbush, of Buffalo, N.Y. This sterling old company has over $1,606,- 000 of cash assets. It has aluays paid its just claims promptly, and its name is now a synonym of financial strewth wherever it has transacted business. The insuring public should be fully convinced that it is worth something to hold an accident policy in a strong company, able and cheerfully willing to pay all just demands. The expense of a yearly policy is but trifling. J. Hall Musser is agent for Huntingdon and vicinity. TUE Bedford papers are kind of jubi lant over the fact that Huntingdon has no town clock or water works and Bedford has.

Huntingdon county has a de cent Poor House any how ! EDITOR HUNTINGDON JOURNAL :—Dear Sir : I see an article in to day's Honitor concerning a contest between the "Howe" and "Wheeler & Wilso , " Sewing Machines. It is a base, one sided fabrication ; a perversion of facts. Some facts will be given next week which will show that the Howe Machine outstrips the Wheeler & Wilson as far as the eagle outstrips the bat in lofty flight. As well might the little stream boast that it was higher than its source, as the Wheeler & Wilson assert that it was better than the Howe, the source of Sewing Machines. JAMES A. BROWN RUNAWAY.—A horse, driven by Mr. Geo. [`oft, of this place, ran away on Wednes day night near Spruce Creek, dumping out the occupants of the sleigh, Messrs. Port and KIM, without doing them any bodily injury. The acci dent happened where the pike crosses the rail road track, and the horse started at full speed down the railroad and was caught in the tun nel by the watchman. The horse was consid erably injured about the head, supposed to have been done by coming in contact with the rough surface of the arch of the tunnel. ANOTHER .RELIC DEPARTING.—On Monday last the workmen commenced the op eration of tearing down the time-honored building, formerly known as the "Snare pro perty," in the "Diamond," now owned by H. G. Fisher, Esq., who intendsito erect a first class brick dwelling on the site. Thus one by one the venerable relics of the days of our fathers, in the shape of old log buildings, are passing away to make room for the advance ment of the age, and the improvement afforded by energy, capital and labor. 3IAGGIonE Baking Powder at Read's.
