The JOURNAL is the best advertising medium n the county, baring a circulation almost !qual to all the other papers combined. Bu siness men will make a note of this. J. W. McKinney, Esq., has retired from the Altoona Sun, leaving D. W. Moore, Esq., sole . proprietor. We will expect Moore Sun in the future. Both have our good wishes.

Walker, Franklin Dundore, and Andrew, Reed, Directors. The Supreme Court has rendered a judgment of ouster against President Judge Taylor and Associates Murray and Easly and Prothonotary Hite, officers of the Johnstown District Court. This stops the court until officers are elected at the general election nest fall. During a recent trip east we had the pleasure of taking by the hand our friend and compan ion of our boyhood days, Mr. J. A. King, of Wilmington, Del. Time has dealt gently with him, and his presence reminded ns of days lang sync when "we were boys together." May suc cess attend him. ADVERTISING AG EN TL-3.—There is a species of humbuggery in this kind of busi ness and yet to some extent it would seem to be a necessary evil. It is necessary to enable enterprising men to reach a larger number of newspapers than they could otherwise, and in this manlier the enterprising business man is benefited to a coheir extent, but of what ad vantage are they to the publisher? They im pose, invariably, upon the poor printer to serve the rich merchant or manufacturer. They bully the printer into taking fifty per cent. less from them than regular advertisers, and then take off twenty-five per cent. of the remainder for commissions. This is our ex perience, how is it wit's you, neighbors? We have thought at times that we had great bills co:ilia:0o us from tilers parasites, and when we have received a little check for $8 or $lO of a balance, we have stood with amazement and contemplated how they had figured us out of the remainder of out: bill. It appears to us to be a systematic swindle ; there is no fair, square or honorable business transaction about it. Aud while we have seen• men start out, thinking to do a fair and honorable bossiness, they have been compelled, for want of sup port, to give away to swindlers who can bully and dexterously cheat the country press out of all the advertising that they want advertis ed. We put the whole batch in the same cate gory, and we have done business with the whole set of them. Until the country press determines to have nothing to do with a set of men who make their own prices it will be no better. For our part we will not allow any body to make prices for us. Printing is just as much a business as any other branch of industry. Let country newspaper men de termine to treat these fellows like they treat other people who want the use of their col umns, and they will have to accept such terms as everybody else accepts. We can't see why a foreign advertiser should take up our space, and crowd our paper, to the disadvan tage of the people among whom we live, and get our support for less money than the latter pay ? It is unjust and unreasonable that he should. We mean to stand by our home ad vertisers and not to push them back to make room for any foreign humbug at half-price. There is hardly a country newspaper that makes enough of money out of these agents to pay for the ink and paper used in the publish ing of their stuff, and yet we find country pub lishers encouraging the business and building up great fortunes for the men who grind them down to the last farthing. If business men want to insert advertisements in news papers that they know nothing about, let them pay some man to attend to that branch of their business, and leave him to pay newspaper men what they charge their immediate patrons ; this is our doctrine. We can live without the patronage of these parasites and we mean to do it, unless they pay our prices. We need no middle men to do our business, and we intend, for our part, to give our prominent space to our neighbors who support us at home. SKETCH No. 2 —Dear Editor : It is "ONEIDA" we wish to sketch for this time. It is bounded on the north by West township, on the east by Barree, on the south by Hender son and on the west by the Juniata river and Huntingdon. The territory, some years ago, belonged partially to West and partially to Henderson townships. It was organized in 1857. Those who have never traveled any in this township will be misled as to the real terri tory, by relying on Hr. Christy's map of Hun tingdon county. Since his survey, the north ern part of Henderson township—north of Stone Creek and Lick Rridge—has been at tached to Oneida, while the southern part of Oneida, as represented on the map south of Hurry's Run, is now apart of Henderson town ship. These changes, with several others in the county, suggest the propriety of a new map. As an agricultural district this town ship is like most of others—it has some very good lands and some very poor. With regard to its area, we are at a loss to say anything, though it is considered one of the small dis tricts. With her population of three hundred and eighty-six inhabitants, according to the census report of 1870 she is among the least populous-districts. The people are most all engaged in farming, there being a very limited number of manufactories—saw-mills. A more peaceable, clever and hospitable set of citizens are not to be found in Pennsylva nia. We may account for it perhaps because there is very little of that sold, which impov erishes the rich, brings the youth to prema ture death, mars the happiness of families, destroys the brightest intellect, and is the fell destroyer of its every votary. This brings us to speak of the hotels and places where spirit uous and other liquors are sold. Since the destruction of the National Hall, just outside the borough limits of Huntingdon, about one year ago, there is but one place where any thing as a beverage is sold. It is at the hotel at the noted Warm Springs owned by Gen. Wilson. We will not elaborate on the "Springs." They are a subject for an article themselves. But to those who have never visited the local ity, we say go and see—it is a pleasant drive of only five miles from the county town. If our memory serves us there is but one church, the Baptist, at Murraysville. By the report of the County Superintendent of Com mon Schools for 1870, there are three schools, all taught by male teachers, with an average salary of $32.75 per month. But it is really painful to think that her 60 boys and 48 girls only get the benefit of four months of public school. It is high time our legislature was in creasing the minimum number of months du ring which the schools are to be kept open. For 1870 $430.92 county, $16.67 State and $9.50 Military taxes were levied on her one hundred and six taxable inhabitants. In conclusion we will advert to the name "ONEIDA." Our theory for this part of our sub lunary globe being thus named is this: "Oneida" is an Indian term for Standing Stone. Hence Stone Creek, which passes through the entire length of this township, received its name from the "Oneida" or Standing Stone set up by the Indians at the mouth of the creek. When the township was organized it was giv en the synonym of the name of the creek. Yours, &c., March 1, 1871. JUNIUS. RAILROAD MEETING.—At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Burnt Cabins and vicinity held on Thursday evening, the 23d of February, at the public house of fienry M'Gowan, Rev. C3TusJeffries was called to the chair, James Kelly, Esq., elected vice president and Joseph Mifflin, secretary. The president, on taking the chair, stated briefly the object of the meeting, viz : The advance ment of the project of a railroad to developthe latent resources of this mineral region. John Dougherty of Mt. Union, then address ed the meeting at some length, setting forth the great need of this road not only to the re gion which it is destined to trarerse, but also to thoae north, south, east and west, which this missing link is designated to bring into connection. D. V. Ahl, Esq., president of the Miramar iron company, then briefly addressed the meet ing, stating that he had put the engineer of the Miramar iron company (Joseph Mifflin, Esq.,) and his corps on the survey of the route, with the expectation that the people would respond according to promise in the way of obtaining rights of way, leases of ore lands, etc., etc., and would therefore leave the matter in their hands to determine what route or routes should be surveyed. It was then, on motion of M r. Dougherty, Received, That the engineer be requested to make a survey of such route from Burnt Cabins to Mount Union, as in his judgment will best advance the interests of the company, without regard to local interests. On motion of D. V. Ahl, Esq., it was then Resolved, That'll:le engineer be instructed, after the conclusion of the survey named, to survey a route from Burnt Cabins, by way of SidelingHill Gap to an intersection with the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad at such point as his judgment dictates. Resolved. That a committee be appointed to accompany the engineer corps to see to the supplying of their wants, and at the same time attend to procuring leases, subscription to stock, etc., etc. Said committee to consist of the president, vice-president of the meeting and such others as they may see fit to add.— Harrisburg Patriot. THE NEW COUNTY PROJECT.—The following letter, under date of New Grenada, Fulton county, Penna. Feb. 16th, 1871, reached us too late for last week's issue : EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL.—Dear Sir :—I have never before attempted to write anything for a newspaper, so that if this does not read very well, the readers of your estimable paper will bear in mind that-this is my first effort. I would not attempt it now only to inform you, and the many readers of the JOURNAL, that there is a possibility, as well as a probability, of our being stricken off from Fulton county and attached to a new county, which is now agitating the minds of the people very much in this locality. The proposed new county will only cut Went, township off our county, East Providenco, Broad Top and Liberty townships off of Bed-, ford and Hopewell, Tod, Carbon, Cass, Clay, Springfield and Dublin off of Huntingdon. The county seat is to be at Broad Top city. The people in our township are very favorable to the project on account of being more con venient to the county seat and because it would make a much better market than we have at present. However our market is as good as could be expected at the present time, but business in and around the coal regions has been very dull this winter, on account of a misunder standing between the operators and the min ers, what the misunderstanding is I do not know, living so far a way as I do and with but few opportunities of ascertaining. I un derstand there is quite an excitement in Clay township, your county, in regard to the pro posed new county. The people are unani mously in favor of the change. In Dublin and Springfield townships the sentiment is also very favorable so that I think there will be but little if any objection in this and Hunting ingdon counties. There are a few ambitious parties in Bedford county that may object but beyond this there will be but little. While on Broad Top a few days ago I was informed that the public buildings could be erected without any cost to the new county. I was also informed that the probable name of the new county would be ROBERTS. If a new county is formed it will add largely to the value of farms in all of the above named townships and will encourage railroad companies to build railroads through every part of this county. The ghost at Berkstressers', or Water Falls Mills has disappeared, so that there is nothing more down here that would interest your read ers in any way. I hope the Republican party in Huntingdon county will come to some terms soon, at least before next fall, so as to prevent the Democrats from making so much noise about their victo ries. Let factions go to the winds and let our people look to the interests of the whole Re publican party without regard to factions. This is the sentiment of all the good Republi cans in the southern portion of the county with whom I have talked. - FULTON. [We hope the above candid communication, from a gentleman of character will show our people 'the exact status of the new count question, and they will, no doubt, take due notice and govern themselves accord ingly We are in the woods.] How BUSINESS IS TIED 171..—0ur neighboring county of Bedford has been, in a, financial point of view, terribly prostrated. Business has been at a stand still and every body has been and is very much cramped for money. No one appears to know the exact cause of the stringency and there is only a general complaint without attributing it to the proper cause. In our estimation there are three prominent causes for the derangement. Ist. The banks of Messrs. Reed & Schell and 0. E. Shannon, Esq., closing up and tie ing up the greater portion of the money on deposit—that amount is taken out of circula tion and the community is the sufferer to that extent. 2ndl3 - . A large quantity of money has been shipped out of the county without an equal amount being returned. In the year 1860 not less than $175,000 where shipped by the Bank and other parties, while in the year 1870 it did not fall short of $200,000. This may be doubted but we have the figures in our pos session and know whereof we speak. 3rdly. The people of the county have adopt ed the miserable alternative of taking judg pent exemption notes from everybody in all the every day transactions of life. And the re sult is that there is scarcely a dollar's worth of negotiable paper outside of the banks in the county. Consequently the entire credit system of the county is tied up. No one is willing to take a judgment note, subject to all the equities existing between the original par ties to the bill. Thousands and tens of thous ands of dollars given by good men, that should be in circulation, to relieve the distress, are tied up and of no use to any one except the parties in whose favor the notes are drawn. There is no other community in Pennsylvania where a similar system prevails. The s stem was brought about, we suppose, by a desire • of storekeepers to protect themselves against the $3OO exemption law, but while they have saved a few dollars in this way, they have lost three times as muchmoney by the prostration of business. Truly they have been saving at the bung and loosing at the spicket. So gen eral is the system that the printing offices, have not printed any other notes, for general use, for half the last decade, and it will re quire a general break up to straighten out this short sightedness. We advise the people of Bed ford county to throw away their blank judgment notes, and to take negotiable paper, and put it in circulation and business, instead of being tied up, will become easy and they will in a few mouths experience the much wanted re• lief. THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL.—The management of this road has submitted a re port of its operations for the year 1870 which the Philadelphia Day boils down into the following compact space "Tire earnings of the main line and branches for - the year amounted to the immense sum of $17,531,706 82, exceeding the expenses by $6,- 271,621 97, the net earnings of the company. The increase of revenue over the previous year was $280,895 09. Owing to a reduction of the freight charges, the receipts from this source fell off $139,496 '4l ; but the increase tom passenger, mail, express and other re ceipts amounted to $420,391 50, leaving the net earnings as above stated. The gross re ceipts for the year amounted to $48,971 25 per mile of the main line, and the whole num ber of passengers carried during the year was 4,352,769, an increase of 123,406, or nearly 3 ger cent. over 1869. The number of tons of freight moved was 5,804,051, including 2,550,389 tons of coal. The actual cost of operating the road was a fraction over 59 per cent. of its receipts. During the discussions at the business meeting of the stockholders, yesterday, Col. Thomas A. Scott, the vice president of the company, in reply to ques tions from a New York stockholder, distinctly declared that this company has no interest in the Union Pacific railroad ; that the exten sions of the Pennsylvania railroad company are limited to Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and other centres, forming connec tions with New Orleans and the lines to the Pacific, and in reference to the leasing of the Camden St Amboy, and other New Jersey lines, Col. Scott• said that negotiations are pending which the company think will, if consumma ted, prove highly beneficial to it." TnE RIFLE TOURNAMENT.—The Rifle Tournament, on the 22d ult., passed off very pleasantly, and was a success as far as attend ance was concerned. Blair county was repre sented by several marksmen, but we were dis appointed in not seeing delegations from other counties. Huntingdon county turned out in force and carried off both prizes, but neither of them were allowed to stay in town. The first prize was won by G. W. Long on a string of ten shots measuring 8i inches, and the second by Wm. Conrad, his string measuring 11f inches. The next day, in another match for a valua ble row, our townsman, Wm. Williams, came off victorious, winning with a string of three shots, sixty yards, off hand, measuring If inches.

SENSIBLE.—A gentleman writes from Broad Top City, under date of February, as follows : "Your article in the JOURNAL, of a week or two ago, headed, 'Support your Local Paper,' has made a decided impression upon my mind, so much so that I consider it the 'right thing in the right place.' And to prove my appre ciation of it, you will greatly oblige me by placing my name upon your subscription list. Any thing I can do to increase the circulation of your JOURNAL in this part of the county by contributing, &c., you have but to speak the word and my feeble efforts will be devoted in your behalf. I would be young as a corres pondent but perhaps I could add a little toward increasing the interest of your already inter esting and valuable paper." Your name has been added to the list and we will be happy to hear from you whenever you have anything of interest to communicate. Tell everybody that does not take the JOURNAL in your neighborhood, to subscribe for it and get rid of the sin of doing without a newspaper. The man who is raising a family, and who re fuses to subscribe and pay for a newspaper, will find that he will have a fearful responsi bility to answer for. Ile will find it easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than for him to enter into thejoys of the here after. Does the parent ever think, to speak seriously, what a responsibility he will have to answer for in keeping his children in igno rance in an age like ours? Remember wher ever their knowledge of the world is deficient, owing to your dereliction as a good parent in not providing them w th the mesas of infor • ming themselves, you are responsible and just ly so. And the best of all means is the news paper. It tells the ways of the world. ADVERTISINo APIIORISMs..---.Tudieious advertising always pays. If you have a good thing, advertise it. If you havn't don't. If you don't mean to mind your own busi ness, it will not pay to advertise. Never run down your opponents' goods in public. Let him do his own advertising. It's as true of advertising as of anything else in this world if it is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. We don't recommend advertising as the best way to get a wife ; but we know that it is the best way to get a good trade. You can't eat enough in one week to last a whole year, and you can't advertigb - tut' plan either. _ _ A large e.vertisement once, and then dis continued, creates the impression that the man has fizzled. Injudicious advertising is like fishing where there's no fish. You need to let the lines fall in the right place. A constant dropping will wear a rock. Keep dropping your advertisements on the public and they will soon melt under it like rock salt• Large type isn't necessary in advertising• Blind folks don't read newspapers. If you can arouse curiosity by an advertise ment it is a great point gained. The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world. Don't be afraid to invest in printer's ink, lest your sands of life be nearly run out. People who advertise only once in three mouths forget that most folks can't remember anything longer than about seven days. THE GONDEN HOMICIDE.—This case has been on trial for a week and at present writing—Tuesday—is still in progress. The court held two sessions on Sunday last, and, as has been the case during the long and tedi ous trial, the court house was literally jammed with people. The holding of the court on the Sabbath was the subject of much comment, and perhaps the history of the county does not afford a similar occurrence. In the Rice case, tried by Judge Thompson in 1842, the court was opened on Sunday, but an adjournment to Monday was immediately ordered after the opening, and Rice, who had been found guilty late on Saturday evening, was sentenced on Monday. The lawyers, who ought to know, say that no day dare intervene during the pro gress of a trial for murder. For this reason, and for the purpose of gaining time in this tri al, the court made a full day on the Sabbath. The above, cut from the Bedford Gazette, was in type before the verdict was renderel. On Wednesday morning about 2i o'clock the jury rendered a verdict of "not guilty." Mr. Spang, (who was senior counsel,) and Mr. Rus_ sell conducted the case for the defendant, and they deserve great credit for their masterly defense. Mr. Russell was only taken into the case a few hours before the trial commenced• Mr. Spang's whole soul was literally wrapped up in the case, and when he went to the jury, he poured forth such a torrent of sympathetic eloquence that he carried everything by storm. The Commonwealth also, under the leadership of Gco. A. Smith of McConnellsburg, conduct ed her case splendidly. Smith hammered away to the last. But Spang had a woman, a baby, and a pretty sister in the case and—a verdict of not guilty. We think the verdict was in accordance with the evidence. DEATH OF THOMAS H. BURROWES.— Thomas H. Borrower, L. L. P., President of the" Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, died at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, aged sixty seven years. Mr. Burrowes possessed a vigorous and highly cultivated mind, and did much in furthering the interests of the Com mon School System in the state. He was also. prominently identified with politics in the earlier part of his life and was Secretary of the Commonwealth from December 15, 1835, to January 15, 1839 under Governor Ritner. In 1860 the late Governor Picker appointed him state superintendent of Common Schools, which position he held until 1863, display. ing eminent ability during his entire term. Mr. Burrowes was the first superintendent of Orphans' Schools in the state, having been appointed by Governor Curtin during the last year of his administration. He was also for many years the able editor of the Pennsylva nia School Journal. In February, 1869, he was appointed to the presidency of the State Agricultaral college, in which capacity he sorted until his decease. Mr. Burrowes was a native of Lancaster county.—Harrisburg Pa triot. Teas at cost at Patton's Drug Store. March Ist. 2t.

FRY, WIIO HAS LOST A LITTLE GIRL?— last summer a party of Gipsies consisting of two men, two women and a girl about eleven years of age, passed through the village of Belmore, Crawford lounty, going west. Short ly after passing through the place, a man en gaged at hauling logs came across a little girl, aged about fouryears, who had been left in the road about a mile east of the village, on the route which the Gipsies had just passed over. The man who was hauling logs picked up the child and took it to his home. The little thing could give no account of itself, and ha s never yet conveyed an idea who its parents are. The general impression is that the child did not belong to the Gipsies, and that they stole it from some family, and becoming tired of it they left it in the road as above stated. There may be somewhere a mourning father or mother, whom the publication of this item may lead to the recovery of their lost child. Will our exchat.ges give it as much circula tion as possible ?--Afijflintown Independent. WE copy the following from the Con. neautrille Courier, as a local item, because it is a sensible proposition that would be wise and well for every beard of County Commis sioners to adopt "The commissioners in every county in the State ought to direct the preservation, binding and Sling of each paper published in their re spective counties. These files should be pre served by the recorder wills as much care as any other records of the county, as they would form a very complete history of the events in respective localities where published. Is fu ture years, to the historian and archeologist, they would be invaluable, and frequently ex plain the origin of customs and institutions, which otherwise would be wholly lost. The annual cost of their preservation to the county would be inc ,nsiderable, the advan tages inexpressible. B. & B. RAILROAD.—What an impetus to business a railroad gives. Everybody is seized with the spirit of enterprise which it develops. All along the line of the above road villages are being laid out and towns pre dicted.

David Wolf, the proprietor, has laid out a large number of lots and will dispose of them at public sale, on Tuesday, the 7th day of March next.
