REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION-- In accordance with the notice given by the Chairman of the Republican County Commit tee, the Delegates elected on Saturday, the 12th inst., met in the Hall of the Court House, in the Borough of Huntingdon, on Tuesday, at 1 o'clock, p. m., and was called to order by J.

H. Brewster; of Shirleysburg, and L. D. Tate, of Jackson township, were chosen Secretaries. Owing to the immense outside pressure, the Delegates were almost suffocated by the in_ tense heat, and a motion was made, and car ried, to adjourn for half and hour.

In half an hour it again assembled with closed doors. Mr. McDivitt moved that members of the press be admitted, which was so ordered. _ . - Ur. Wm. K. Burchinell, of Huntingdon, moved that a Committee of three be appointed on Credentials. The Chair appointed Wm. K. Bnrchinell, of Huntingdon, Thomas S. M'Cahan, of Birmingham, and D.

Assault and battery. True bill. Not guilty, and the prosecutor to pay the costs. Commonwealth vs. J. H. Isett. Assault and battery. True bill. Defendant plead guilty, and submitted. Sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and costs. Commonwealth vs. James Barnes. This was an indictment for perjury, and was founded upon evidence given by Barnes, the defendant, against Geo. L. Smith, both of Cass township, In an action tried at November Sessions of 1870, in which an indictment was brought by Barnes against Smith for shooting at him with intent to kill or maim. It was there testified by Barnes that on the evening of Friday, August sth, a little after dusk, when he and busboy were passingnear Smith's residence, he saw Smith in his field with a gun, whicF he pointed at him and discharged. This evidence was corroborated by that of his boy, and two or three other witnesses who were passing at the time and testified that they saw a man they took to be Smith in that locality with a gun. It was shown by a num ber of witnesses on the part of the Common wealth, that Smith had left home on that day about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and did not return till 10 or 11 that night, and the only question to be decided was whether the state ment of Barnes was wilfully false, made know ing it to be untrue, or made recklessly, with out any reason or foundation. The-case involved an immense amount of testimony, some sixty witnesses being examin ed, and occupied the time of the Court almost three days going to the jury on Thursday eve ning. The jury after remaining out all night on the question of costs, returned on Friday morning with a verdict of acquittal, - taxing the defendant with $25 of the costs, and the ba lance on the plaintiff. The counsel for the Commonwealth was as sisted by Messrs. Petrikin and S. S. Blair. Counsel for defense, Messrs. Speer, J. S. Blair and Fleming. Commonwealth vs. John Elliott. Indictment. Larceny. True bill. Guilty. The defendant in this case was a "traveling man" of strongly marked Aboriginal features, who had been sojourning in flys place a few days during the month of June last, and had taken lodgings in the meantime with the prosecutor Eli Barker who attends the livery stables of Mr. Carmon, on Canal Avenue, where he enjoyed the luxury of a bed on the floor, and lived by picking up odd jobs around town. When about to leave there to push his fortunes further, he accidently stowed away amongst his effects the watch chain of the prosecutor, and it would seem from the evi• deuce leaving about as fair a presumption that the watch was atached to it as would be affor ded in regard to the proximity of a fox to see his WI sticking out of a hole. Some $2, 11. S. Currency it seems had mysteriously disap peared at the same time from the pocket of Eli, who, enraged at such viper like ingrati tude at the hands of the man he had warmed and fed, proceeded at once to place the minis ters ofjustice on the track of the fugitive, and the consequence was that the unfortunate John was caught and caged, arraigned and convicted, and will, no doubt, be treated to a free ride over the mountains, and a brief so journ within the walls of the WeAern Peni tentiary. Commonwealth vs. John Houck. Indictment, assault and battery with the intent to commit a rape. True bill. Verdict guilty. This offence was committed upon the per son of Elizabeth Hounstein, a married and rather elderly woman, living within the bounds of this borough, at her home, in Aug ust 1869, two years ago, since which time the offender has been evading the officers of jus tice until recently.. The offense with which he was charged was clearly made out, and was of a very aggravated character. The prisoner is also a native of the town, and though but a mere youth appears to be rapidly descending the steep of crime. He was no doubt under the influence of liquor at the time the fiendish act was perpetrated. Commonwealth vs. Hannah Huff. This was an fiction brought and prosecu i til , against Samuel Huff and Hannah, his wife, for assault and battery upon the person of Bridget Meehan, the indictment having been brought against both parties, and Samuel having for fieited his recognizance leaving Hannah to stand the brunt of the action alone. Bridget Meehan the prosecutrix, an old lady of Celtic origin and according to her statement, a "poor lone widdy with five small children" living in Tyrone, it seems was passing the house of the tlercusl.... to, ii. CV, , ,,,.; n-,.....-1. co Ns-22 all in. in April last, accompanied by a small dog, and when afew rods from the house her dog shot by Huff, who, together with his wife and dog, fell upon the old lady and beat and wor ried her unmercifully with stones and sticks, tearing her clothing, and otherwise injuring her. To this accusation the defendant had I nothing to answer further than to assert that the assault was commenced by Bridget her self, who fired the first stone, when the en gagement b,came general along the whole line. The Court and Jury failed to see the thing in the same light, and Hannah was found guilty in manner and form as indicted, and re-committed for sentence, taking the matter however very philosophically and man ifesting the same amount of pluck on her de parture for Fort Neely which was displayed by her during the trial, declaring that she would just as soon go there as anywhere else. The above were all the criminal cases tried out of a large batch on hand at the commence ment of the sessions. Some ten or a dozen cases were ignored by the Grand Jury and a large number disposed of by settlement and otherwise, • civic T,jaT, But one case was disposed of, which was an action of assumpsit, brought by the heiF4 of Samuel Caldwell, deceased, agaiiist the Administrators of Charles Barclay, deceased, to recover a share of the proceeds of a tract of land on -Ray's Hill, in Tod township, sold in the year 1854. The claim was found ed upon an agreement made in the year 1848, which, it seems, had never been placed on record, arid the necessary steps to secure a special performance of the coutract not 104 , lug been taken, the plaintiff haying reposed upon his rights from the year 1854, OP tinge when his right of action accrued, up to 1887, the defendant plead the statute of limitation,which the Court decided to be a complete answer to the plaintiff's title and a conclusive bar to the action; and so ruling instructed the jury to find Ikr the defendant. Verdict accordingly. Scott It Brava for plaintiff, Dorris and Cessna for defendants, AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—The 111.111- tinf4on County Agricultural Society, met in the Court 'louse, on Wednesday evening last/ and was called tcrorder by the Chairman.

Qa tpotign, adjoarned. ' G. MILLEit, Prest. B. eCy: A FOLLOWER Or THE CROSS DECEIV ED —The new Methodist Church ; at Bedford, is a very neat and unobtrusive structure, with a handsome spire, surmounted by a metalic cross, some ten or twelve feet in height. This addition of a cross is a departure from the usual plain manner of finishing Methodist Episcopal Churches and shows a disposition not to allow the Catholic and Episcopalian Churches to monopolize this symbol of Chris tianity. A few weeks ago Rev. Father Brown, of Bedford, announced that his New Church would be dedicated by Rt. Rev. Bishop Do menic, of Pittsburgh. A number of strangers found their way to Bedford to be present on the occasion. Among others were our mutu al friends H— and K—. These gentle men concluded, on Sabbath morning, before the commencement of the religious exercises, to saunter about the town and see what was to be seen. They started out Julian street in the direction of the Springs, turned down John street and in a few moments were face to face with the new Methodist Episcopal Church. K— looking up at and admiring the new edifice, inquired of 11— where the new Catholic Church was located. 11— cant a glance of superior knowledge at his companion, as much as to say, "you goosey , don't you see it right before you I': and pointed to the cross as conclusive evidence of the correctness of his identification. They strolled on past the church, paying it some very hand some compliments, when K— said "H—, where is the old Catholic church?" ll— quietly pointed, with a knowing look to what he supposed to be the remains of that church, but which was, in reality, the unfinished Episcopalian Church. K— suggested that it had not the appearance of the ruins of an old church, but H— ejacu:ated, "zounds hadn't he been there before, and didn't he know? They faced down Richard street and in a few minutes were in front of the veritable new Catholic Church. said it was the new unfinished Lutheran church and together they sought their hotel. When the hour for service arrived, K— started alone to find the new Catholic Church. A few minutes' walk found him in front of the new Methodist Episcopal Church. He appeared to have some misgivings that things were mixed. He ap proached a juvenile and inquired, cautiously, what church occupied the square diagonally across from the Court House. He was in formed that it was the Presbyterian Church. He then inquired what church was before them and was told the Methodist Episcopal Church and that the new Catholic Church was the same that they had taken for the unfinish ed Lutheran Church in the morning. K— declares, that in the future, when he hears 11— asseverate that he knows and hasn't he been there before that he will re member bow he mixed the churches at Bed ford. SAD ACCIDENT.-1 little daughter of Wm. Triester, aged about two years, was kill ed one day last week under circumstances well calculated to call forth the deepest sym pathies of our nature. ; She was playing in the sad on the road near Mr. Milliken's, in Derry township, when an ore team came down the hill. The driver as usual took hold of the lock at the back and so continued until near the foot, when changing his position he dis covered to his horror that a little girl had been run over by the front wheel. He caught hold of her before she got under the hind wheel, but the poor sufferer was almost cut in two by the heavy weight, and lived but a short time. The scene when the mangled little one was brought to the bereaved mother may be imagined but cannot be described, for to her and all around a light in the household had been quenched.—Lewistown Gazette. THREE PERSONS INJURED. =On Sat urday evening last, three men named William Crawford, Adam Ernest and William Hall, nnnv. the, rnilrnnd track hands quit work in the narrows, between this place and Lewistown, and started for Mifflin Station on a handcar, two of them were working the lever. The man on the upper or hindermost side of the lever overbalanced- The lever then threw him over on the man on the opposite side. They too in Billing strnck a third man, and all were throw upon the 'track in front of the car, which ran oyer them severely injuring two of them, Crawford and Ernest, breaking the jaw and bruising the face of the former and the latter sustained in ternal injuries. Dra. Banks and Crawford were called to the Patterson house to give the sufferers medical attention. Tne wounded men are improving.—Hifilin Independent. A LAB, S4CfAl l PARTY.—A large social party was given at the residence of Hon. John Scott, on last Thursday evening, which was attended by the youth and beauty and the wit and wisdom of the town. It was Is happy, social union of the many personal friends of tile distinguished Senator and his estimable lady and their daughter, Miss Ellis Scott, and all enjoyed themselves so cleverly that the recollections of the pleasant evening, spent on this occasion, will never be effaced from memory's tablet. All endeavored to add to the enjoyment of the hour, and universal cheer' fulness and pleasantry prevailed, We hope that there may be many happy unions of the kind in the future, and that the leading citi zens of old Huntingdon may ever he willing to meet and spend a few hours thus in social pleasantry. " STOP MY PAPER."—One of our ex changes has the following allegory, which we commend to the careful consideration of those gentleman who, the moment they see anything which displeases them in the columns of their local journal, rush to the printing office and cry out, "Stop my paper." A, certain man hit his toe and fell head long to the ground. He was vexed and under the influence of anger and self sufficiency he kicked the earth right saucily, With lraper turhable gravity he looked to ace the . earth itself dissolve and come to naught. But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was in jured in the encounter. This is the way of man. An article in a newspaper touches him in a weak spot, andforthwith he sends to stop Id. paper, With great complacency he looks to see 'the crash, when he fin4s ho Ws lilt his own tqe against 4 world that does not percep tibly feel the shook, and injures no one but himself. THE WAY TO DO IT.—The stock of Mr• Cree, which was damaged by the fire on Wednesday night, w.as insured in the Andes Insurance Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, by its gentlemanly agent in this Place, Mr. Will De- Artultt, The day after the tire an inyentury of the stock was taken and the amount of the insurance money handed over to Mr. Crem This promptness, on the part of this Coinpany, should recommend it to our citizens as one worthy their confidence. Mr. DeArmitt will be happy to take risks, at his office, at the Penn'a. Railroad Depot. MlLlTAny.—Pursuant to previous ar rangement, a meeting of the noble, bold and patriotic sons of Huntingdon Furnace, and surroundings, was held in Huntingdon Fur s- ce school house, on last Saturday evening, to organige a Military company. A, roll was prepared and many signatures added. The result was flattering. Another meeting will be held on next Thurs day evening, at the same place, and all persons desirous of uniting with the company can have the privilege of enrolling their names. KILLED.—^A man named Owen Diho, employed on a freight train, on tile Penn'a, Central Railroad, was precipitated heneath the cars, at Spruce Creek, on the 16th inst., and had both Iggs cut off and died from the effects of the ateident in a few honrs. A HANDSOME LIVERY STOCK.—We dropped into the Livery Stable of A. B. Flood, the other day, and found every thing in the neatest and trimest order. The vehicles had just been overhauled and looked as bright and clean as a newly painted theatre. The harness were just out of the shop and glittered in the sun like a new set of silver ware, and the horses were as spry as kittens. It is a real pleasure to sport With such a rig. We mean to when we get time. LEATIIEIt, Gutta-percha, and Britania Tour ists' Cups at Stewarts' Hardware Store. [23-3t MORE FAST RUNNING.—The fast line east on the Pennsylvania railroad accomplish ed the feat on Wednesday morning of running from Altoona to Harrisburg—one hundred and thirty-two miles—in two hours and fifty min utes, or forty-seven miles an hour. The dis tance between Huntingdon and Marysville— ninety-one miles—was run in an hour and fifty minutes, or about fifty miles an hour. The engine making this time was No. 193 and the engineer Samuel Free.—Har. Telegraph.
