Bright and beautiful—The weather on Sun• day. No longer a mooted question—The town clock. The attendance at court, up to this time, is rather slim. Hon. John Scott spent a couple of days at home last week. Quite a spirited revival is in progress in the M. E. Church of this place. Bloody Run has a superabundance of coun terfeit fifty cent currency. Renova has a new paper called the Record, with John U. Shaffer as editor. The evening train, through to Bedford, will be restored by the Ist of February. The jail at Bedford contains three persons charged with the crime of murder. Robert W. Mackey, the present State Treas urer, will be re-elected without opposition. The juveniles enjoyed themselves skating and coasting on the icy pavements last week. Hon. D. J. Morrell has been elected Presi• dent of the Somerset and Johnstown railroad, A. W. Kenyon, Esq., Treasurer elect, has been duly qualified and entered upon the du ties of his office. People who fancy dogs ought to have dis cretion enough to leave them at home when they go to church. Now is the time for the rich to open their hearts, untie their purse strings, and care for the suffering poor. Startling—The new style of collar for gen tlemen. It resembles a cabbage leaf growing out of a cornstalk. Mrs. Jane s .A.. McCrum, wife of E. B. McCrum, Esq., senior editor of the Altoona Tribune, died in that city on the 30th ult. "Stagger Juice" is the latest name for in toxicating liquors. It is certainly very appro priate as well as expressive. Handling currency is a fruitful agency for the spread of small-pox. That's why so few printers suffer from the disease. If you want to buy good and fashionable clothing, at very low rates, consult our adver tising columns before pUrchasing. John B. Gough will lecture in Tyrone on 'Tuesday evening, the 30th inst., and not on the 9th as announced by us last week. If you don't stop using tobacco the first tbing you will have the amanrosis anginapec torsi, hypochoncaiasls, and locomotoiataxy. In oue of our neighboring towns they have a female barber who will now retire from bu siness on account of the arrival of a 'little shaver." Alex. M. Lloyd, of Hollidaysburg, has been appointed District Deputy Grand Master of A. Y. 1., for Cambria, Rlair and Huntingdon counties. With the beginning of the new year the JOURNAL starts out with a circulation of 1728. Advertisers will do well to make a note of this fact. Services will be held in the Protestant Epis copal Church, in this place, on Sunday, Jan uary 14th, at 10} A. u. and 3 P. M., by the Rev Mr. Jarred. This is leap year, and onrdevils are wearing their blandest smiles, ready to have the ques- tion "pbpped" from any person who may feel so inclined. The Chicago Post says the bell worn by the cow that kicked the lamp that set fire to Chi cago is on exhibition in that city in sixty-one different places.

A very eloquent, able and instructive dis course, on the second coming of Christ, was delivered by Bev. J. W. Plannett, in the Bap tist church, on Sunday last. Our Carrier desires to return his thanks, and make his grand salaam, to the patrons of the Jammer, and others, for their liberality on New Year's day. He has not concluded how he will invest his pile. Newspapers bad better stop noticing the "Grecian bend," for many of the ladies have got their "backs up" about it. They don't like to be run down behind their backs, and no newspaper has a right to do so. The following is a sure and simple remedy for croup : Take the white of an egg, stir it thoroughly into a quantity of well-sweetened water, and give it in repeated doses until a cure is effected. If one egg is not sufficient, a second, or even a third one should be used. On the let inst., Samuel Raffensberger, of 'Markleville, Perry county, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. At the time of the deed be was behind his blacksmith .shop trying to elude a constable who had a warrant for his arrest on a charge of rape. As the season for frosted feet is just setting in, the following remedy for relieving the in tense itching produced thereby will come quite handy to some unfortunates: Dissolve a lump of alum in a little water and bathe the part with it, warming in before the fire. One or two applications are sure to give relief. Every day brings something new, and a man knows mere one day than he knows the next--or somehow that way. There is a man who has invented a . "nose machine," by which homely noses are pressed into the most fash ionable shape, according to the taste of the owner. Now let this genius invent a "nose machine" that willprevent persons from stick. ing their noses into other people's business, and his fortune is guaranteed.

Buchanan, Henry, Leister, Miller, Shafer, Strickler, and Williamson. The minutes of the last stated and adjourn ed meeting were read approved. The comittees on Fire Engine and Town Clock respectively, made verbal reports and were continued. The committee on Public Property, in com pliance wi'h a motion adopted at last stated meeting, presented a report embracing a lint of tools on hand belonging to the borough. The report was accepted and ordered to be filed. The committee on Streets, to which had been referred the bill of David Mingle for ma terial carted on Mifflin street west of 7th, re ported that they had measured the cellar from which the material had been excavated, and that he was entitled,according to the contract, to be paid for 152 i yards at 12 cts. per yard, making $lB 40. On motion the report was adopted. The committee on Public Property reported that they had ordered the painting of two boards to be placed upon the bridge on Hill street west of 7th, noticing the penalty for fast riding or driving over said bridge, and prohibiting the posting of bills thereon. On motion of Mr. Henry, it was Resolved, That a committee of three mem bers shall be appointed to examine the Fire Engine room and report upon the propriety of partitioning off a part of the same to be used as a lock-up for the detention of persons ar rested by the policemen; and also to make in quiry and report if a suitable place to be used for the same purpose could be rented. Messrs. Henry, Buchanan and Leister were appointed as said committee. On motion it was ordered that an appeal shall be taken from the judgment of Esquire Swoope in the case of Wm. Morningstar. On motion of Mr. Boring, it was Resolved, That hereafter all bills contracted for by the Street Commissioner or other offi cer; and that on all bills for lumber or other material, the places at which the same was used shall as far as practicable be designated thereon. On motion of Mr. Buchanan, it was Resolved, That a.committee of three shall be appointed to consult with the owners of pro perty adjoining 7th street relative to the wid ening of said street north of Oneida st., and to re-adjusting and establishing the lines there of, to report at the next stated meeting or at a special meeting if one should be called. Messrs. Buchanan, Williamson and Strickler were ap pointed as said committee. In order that the citizens of the borough may have ready access to the fire engines in case of fire it was announced that the keys of the engine room have been doposited at the following named places: Colestock's resi dence, corner sth and Washington ; G. Ashman Miller's ; No. 517, Washington street; John H. Westbrook, No. 513, Washington street.

A bill of William Stutzman for blacksmith - ing was read and not being properly certified was referred for correction. The Secretary was instructed to call upon Ilugh Lindsay, weighmastcr, and Z. Yenter, and ascertain the amounts of money received by them belonging to borough, and report at the next meeting. Adjourned WE would call the attention of the trade to the announcment, in an other column of Messrs. Hood, Bonbright & Co., of Philadel phia. This firm are now located in their handsome new building on Market Street above Eighth, and extend a cordial invitation to their friends and the trade generally to call and inspect their establishment. Owing to their steadily increasing trade the old estab lishment on Market Street below Sixth, al though one of the most commodious of its kind in Philadelphia, was long since found too small to meet the requirements of their vast business, and early last Spring ground was broken for the new and palatial structure, now occupied by Messrs. Hood, Bonbright & Co. In the construction of their new building, which is now the largest store of its kind in Philad elphia, the firm have so throughly re-organiz ed and systemized the various departments as to afford their patrons the most ample facili ties for inspecting the immense stock of For eign and Domestic Dry Goods, now being ar ranged for the Spring trade. In prospect of a largely increased demand for goods of this line, it is gratifying for us to be able to make this announcment respecting the enterprise and energy of this well known house whose patrons are scattered throughout the whole Union. Persons wanting a Sewing Machine will find it to their advantage, in many respects, to call on M. M. Logan & Co., Huntingdon, Pa., agents for the Howe Shuttle Sewing Ma cchine. [janlo-3t. SALE OF POOR HOUSE PROPERTY.— In accordance with the notice of the Poor House Commissioners, the old Poor House property cast of Bedford was sold on Thursday, the 28th of December. The property was sold in three separate parts. The Mill, dwell ing house and three or four acres of land were knocked down to John Alsip, Esq., at $7,175. The brick mansion and farm, including all the land west of the top of the mountain was knocked off at Mr. S. Defibaugh's (the present steward) bid, $8,020. Joseph Tate, Esq., got the land west of the top of Dunning's moan• lain for $7Ol, making the price of the whole property $15,975. The ore right was not sold. The weather was disagreeable and the attend ance was rather small, though we presume all who had any idea of bidding were on hand.— Bedford Inquirrer. Fos RICNT.-A House on Main street, be tween Josiah Cunninghams and Presbyterian Church. Would do for store and dwelling. Add:ess box 261, Huntingdon, Pa. I. 0. 0. R.

Spang, Esq., advertising lots for sale, at Roaring Spring, Blair county. This place is growing very rapidly and has advantages that few other places in Blair county have. Persons wishing to locate in the Great Cove would do well to give Mr. Spang a call, The Supreme Judgeship---Hon. P. Frazier Smith. MR. EDITOR: So much attention is attracted to the several candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor that the importance of selecting the proper nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court, on the same ticket, is being overlooked, Considering the great interests that are in volved in the cases decided by that Court, and that the Judges hold their offices for fifteen years, it is really more important than the of fice of Governor, and the men where character and qualifications fit them for the responsible duties of that Bench, should be named long enough before the Convention meets to have their merits publicly discussed, in order that a proper selection may be made. Among the men most widely and favorably known to the legal profession is P. Frazier Smith, Esq., of West Chester, the present State Reporter, and the mention of his name will at once suggest to the lawyers of the State, fa miliar with his labors in that office, the many qualities he possesses to fit him for Judicial duties. Of stainless private life, a muture and cultivated lawyer, with a clear head, an hon est heart, and habits of untiring industry, he would make a Judge whose integrity and ability would command at once the confidence and respect of the bar and the people. His services in the Legislature of the State, his pa triotism and devotion to the country's interests in her hour of trial, are well known and appre ciated. It is not my purpose to write a labored etiology upon him, but to present his name as one of our eminent citizens, whose purity and learning point him out as a proper candi date of the Republican party at the approach ing campaign. Ido not know that he would make himself a candidate, but I do know that he belongs to that class of men upon whom the people should call to serve them in public life, and upon whose fidelity they can always safely rely. INTERIOR. THE Sabbath School connected with the Baptist Church, at Wilsonsitown, in West township, held a fair and festival during the holiday week, and realized about $5O clear of expenses, as the result of their labors, besides a donation of $lO presented to the Pastor of the Church. The proceeds are to be applied to the purchasing of a library for the Sabbath School. The work was all done by a few energetic ladies and young men, who deserve ranch credit for the zeal and interest mani fested by them in the Sabbath School cause.

It imposes extraordina ry duties on journals from which the people may usually expect not only the news of the day, bet intelligent dis cussion of public questions and enunciation of opinions. While this is true in a general sense, the year before es is likely, in a political sense, to be one of unusual interest ; the Democratic party is breaking up, and there are indi cations of alliances and parposes altogether novel in our politics. The elections of the past year have resulted in almost an unbroken series of Republican victories. Gen. Grant's administration has received the unequivocal in- doreement of the American people and in dication now that, as the Republican candidate, he will be re-elected President. As an Immezunmir RIPUBLICAN PAPER the Couxriasz, will in the future, as in the past, render an undlviding support to REPUBLICAN PRINCIPIAB holding that the good of the Republic requires that the Government should remain in the hands of the party that saved it in the great life-or-death struggle. In the iuture as in the past it will speak its own views regarding men and measures, holding that through free discussion only can safe conclusions be reached and the independence of the preen preserved. In this regard we can say simply that the CORMBECIAL will be true to itself and ita establish ed character. . . . -- liD7/siirIIPAPER, nothing will be spared to maintain the =g n j w ou h rt h al t s h o e f?l ' i ll e Cl i ry i fOr L hnrwaisevrgrpshrelisde amongwe the as for independent opinions. This year, at home or abroad, will be fall of interest. European politics are agi tated, and the American reader will likely find much iq them to attract his attention. At home all is life and push. Railroads are being constructed everywhere; new projects are almost daily proclaimed; population is in creasing; enterprise intelligently directed was never so well awarded, and the prospect for the wonderful activities of our country is, to may the least, extremely encouraging. With all these things the Commsuctst. is intimately iden tified, and as a BUSINESS PAPER, at the centre of the great eat manufacturing district on the continent, has Oen stantly in view whatever of interest readers may reason ably expect to see in its columns,—especially CAREFULLY PREPARED HARM= REPORTS, ICANITPACTURING INTELLIGENCE and (=nut trews, collected at home and from abroad. To our patrons we have only words of cheer. With some of our rerders we have held pleasant relations for years. It will be our aim to deserve the continuance of these re lations for many years to come. We feel proud in the fact that the Quitusaczex yields an influence second to no journal in the State. Its readem as a general thing are the influential, intelligent classes. In a circle of hundreds of miles, embracing nearly the whole of Pennsylvania, much of Ohio, West Virginia and Staters beyond, it is the favorite in the counting-boner, the office, Inn store and the especially of business and cultivated classes. To hold this place will be oar constant effort. TERMS-IN ADVANCE $lO 00 , 200 Daily paper, per year.., IVeekly paper, per year.
