Get your bills printed at the JonaNAL office. An argument Court was held, last week, which disposed of a large number of cases. Convalescing—Mr. Westbrook, the young man who was hurt on the railroad, on Friday a week ago. The skatists were in ecstacies on Thursday last. The ice was good, but the weather was intensely cold. Senator Petriken was home a few days last week. He is one of the most industrious Sen ators at Harrisburg. Rev. Wm. Gephart has been appointed Court Crier for Redford Court, rice Joshua Mower. A very good appointment. Crowded—Our job department; but never mind, send along your orders. Our three power presses are equal to the emergency. The Methodist church in / Altoona, which has been undergoing extensive repairs, for some time, was reopened on Sabbath last. A great number of marksmen have signified their intention of participating in the rifle tournament, in this place, on the 22d. The more the merrier. Tyrone bas only thirty one marriageable females. Huntingdon has more than twice that number who think they have arrived at a marriageable age. The Juniata Valley Old Fellow's Mutual Life Insurance Company, of this place, has met with its first loss in the death of I. N. Sheets, of Dudley. Quite a snow storm prevailed on Saturday, covering the ground to the depth of an inch or so, but it has nearly all disappeared under old Sol's warm rays. Rev. James Johnston, of this place, preached his maiden sermon, in the M. E. Church, on Sunday night, and we hear it spoken of as a very creditable production. The junior editor of the Johnstown Demo crat is the champion checker player of that place. If he steps down this way he can have the conceit taken out of him. • "Carleton" lectures, in Tyrone, on Friday evening, the 23d inst. Go and hear him. Those holding season tickets admitted without extra charge. All others 25 cents a head. A bill has passed the House of Representa tives directing the Treasurer of Huntingdon county to do all the collection of state, county and militia taxes. It is an excellent move. The Huntingdon Rolling Mill is being puff. ed in all quarters, but the projectors must be heavy weights. We judge from the slowness of their motions. "What's the matter now V' Ourfriend Speddy, of the Independent, is very much worried that there have been no leap year parties in Ilifflintown. The girls must be afraid of the "fellers" down there. We are sorry for our friend. A dead letter—The borough ordinance for Oe prevention of the throwing of stones and other missiles on the streets, judging from the manner in which some of the young rowdies indulge in the dangerous pastime. Our Paul's lady love sent him quite a hand some Valentine, the other day, and ever since he has been eating lasses candy and humming snatches of old love songs. He feels as if he would like to go into the housekeeping busi ness. Thirty-eight converts have been added to the Methodist church in Tyrone. Brainerd, we are sorry to say, is not among the number ; but we have this consolation to cheer us, that "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." Joshua Hicks, of Smithfield, an aged gentle. man, stepped upon some ice, covered with snow, while out walking, on last Sunday after noon, fell and broke his left limb. Dr. Brum baugh was called in immediately and admin istered to the wants of the patient. Our colored friends of Tappan Lodge, Sons of Temperance, intend holding a "Festival and Cake Walk" in Yenter's Hall, on the evenings of the 22d and 23d inst. The object is to raise funds for the purpose of furnishing their lodge room, and we bespeak for them a liber al patronage from the friends of temperance. The community, in the neighborhood of our office, were annoyed almost to death, on Thursday last, by the everlasting tooting of some novice in the school of music. He put in two-thirds of the day, and the music he made reminded us very much of some fellow cutting a dry pine board across a half-barrel tub with an exceedingly dull wood saw. Suits were lately brought against two ex auditors of Shamokin township, Northumber land county. for neglecting, while in office, to publish an annual statement of the finances of the township. The cases were tried and re sulted in the defendants being fined $5O each for neglect or refusal to publish as aforesaid. Those interested in these matters will do well to stick a pin here. Another stock of new and handsome type just cased in our job office. Our assortment of type is unsurpassed by any country office in the State, and the work we turn out is equal to any done in the city, both as regards quality and price. Come and see our speci mens, and you will be convinced that it is not necessary for you to go to the city to have a fine job of work executed. THE DEVIL ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD—IIe RUM, the Philadelphia Express— A Phantom Train, 4e.—The Columbia Cour ant is responsible for the following. The "debbil am out on a big rampage" along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad. He is at various places along the road, and in different shapes. One night last week after the Phil adelphia express left Tyrone station, his sa tanic majesty got on the engine with Sol. Hofmaster. He looked around for a moment, then taking the poker from the fireman, open ed the fire door and stirred the fire, at the same time sticking his feet in. He then sat down stretching out his immense legs and bringing his tail around laid it between his cloven hoofs. Sometimes wings could be seen about his shoulders. He was very particular about the fire; sometimes he would put his head in the fire box and look around, then throw in his tail, stirring the fire at a rapid rate. By this time he had got warmed up, and so had the engineer and fireman, who were nearly scared to death. The engine was making about thirty-five miles an hour when the devil picked up the oil can, went out and oiled the locomotive in all its parts. He then returned, and requested Mr. Hofmaster to slack up and let him off at bridge No. 5 ; but Mr. H. told him he might get off the same way he got on. The engine was then running at a fearful rate of speed, and Mr. Devil stepped to one side and disappeared. We learn since that a phantom train was seen in the vicinity of the Gap. Some nights ago, David Wayne, engineer of 477 had stop ped for some purpose when a train was heard approaching at a rapid rate. Knowing there was no train due at that hour, schedules were examined carefully; but the stranger could not be made out. At length it came thunder ing around the curve with an immense head light and other equipments. Ths conductor, 11. Bell, engineer, fireman and brakeman all saw and heard the train coming. The flag man, John K. Newell, immediately went back with a light and placed signal caps upon the rails. The phantom train came, making the usual noise and lighting up the whole track with its huge lurid glare, when in a twinkling the whole thing disappeared. Some say it was old Amos Clemson's train—the notorious leader of the Gap gang, who died several years ago—and that he was aboard swinging a red light furiously. John Filbert, engineer of the Lancaster train, informs us that when approaching Pe quea bridge, some nights ago, he saw the devil on the cowcatcher of his engine. He was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. He quickly shut off the steam and slackened up, but could not see anything more of the strange object. These stories are creating a great deal of comment among railroad men. We give them as told to us, and leave the read ers to draw their own conclusions.

We hope to see it pass the Senate and become a law as speedily as possible ; SECTION 1. Be it enacted, 4-c , That whenever any promissory note or other negotiable in strument shall be given, the consideration fur which shall consist, in whole or in part, of the right to make, use or vend any patent inven tions claimed to be patented, the worth "giv en for a patent right" shall be prominently and legibly written or printed on the face of such note or instrument above the signature thereto, and such note or instrument, in the hands of any purchaser or holder, shall be subject to the same defenses as in the hands of the original owner or holder, and any per son who shall purchase or become the holder of any promissory note or other negotiable instrument, knowing the same to have been given for the consideration aforesaid, shall bold such note or instrument subject to the same defenses as in the hands of the original owner or holder, although the words "given for a patent right" shall be written or printed upon the face thereof. SEC. 4. If any purchaser shall take, purchase sell or transfer any promissory note or other negotiable instrument not having the words `'given for a patent right" written or printed legibly and prominently on the face of such note or instrument above the signature thereto, knowing the consideration of such note or in strument to consist in whole or in part of the right to make, use or vend any patent inven tion or inventions claimed to be patented, every such person or persons shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeaner, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not exceed ingfive hundred dollars, or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding sixty days, or both, in the discretion of the court. SEC. 3. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. LOST !—520,000 by the citizens of Iluntin,g don county, thrown away on cheap sewing machines. ish dot for cheap I" 21f2t.

IT is being discovered that Huntingdon county, Pa., is rich in both hematite and fossil ores. There great coal fields also exist in ac- cessible localities, together with fire clay and fire sand. Prospecting is rapidly going on to determine the extent and value of the ore and coal deposits. Skill from surrounding sec tions is engaged in the hunt, and, if the devel opments justify expectations now entertained, capital in abundance will be immediately plac ed at the disposal of the enterprising men who have the matter in hand. A shaft has been sunk at the base of Tussey's mountain where the hematite and fossil vein known as the Riddlesburg vein was met with. The developments thus far made, justify the belief, in the minds of those who best know, that the deposits are sufficient and suf. ficiently accessible to make mining profitable. A railroad will soon be built to connect the iron fields with the coal fields. We anxiously watch for further developments. The position the Lake Superior ores hold in the market demands that we should soon multiply our sources of supply.—Pillsburg Iron World and Manufacturer. A WORK OF MERCY.-$150,000,00 in 3000 Cash Prizes is to be distributed Legally, March 28th, 1872, at Omaha, in aid of the Sick, and destitute, at Mercy Hospital. This enterprise is endorsed by the Governor and best business men of Nebraska. The Tickets are $3 each, or two for $3. For fall particulars address— Pattee & Gardiner, Business Managers, Omaha, Neb. NEWS FROM THE LOWER END.—RAIL ROAD StRVEYING.-The Engineers are still at work on the various surveys. Having finish ed their temporary survey down the Sideling and Aughwick Creeks to Newton Hamilton, they commenced on last Monday running a survey from the mouth of Aughwick Creek down the Juniata to Manayunk. After they are through with this survey the company, I am informed, will very soon make their loca tion. There is considerable uneasiness man ifested by the citizens of Mt. Union and New ton Hamilton as to where this road will con nect with the Penna. Railroad. IRON WORKS. A Bill has been read iu the Senate, by Mr. Petriken, to incorporate a company, by the name and title of the Rock Hill Iron Company, with a capital of $1,000,000, with the privi lege of increasing it 2,000,000 dollars, for the purpose of erecting Furnaces, Rolling Mills, &c., along the line of this contemplated Railroad. The protracted meetings have generally come to a close, and with very good results, I am told, in all the various churches; sinners in this end of the county can have no excuse at the judgment day for the want of christian privileges and opportunities, for they Lave been faithfully and earnestly warned by the watchman on the walls of Zion. The measles, which have swept over this section to a fearful extent, have about disap peared, and now in its trail, a more danger ous disease has followed, the scarlet fever, which is now spreading to a considerable ex tent. Allen B. Douglass, a bright and prom ising son of Samuel R. Douglass, aged fifteen years, was its first victim. "His son went down before it was yet noon," others in the community are lying in a critical state. THE COUNTY INSTITUTE.—Mr. Editor: —The last School Journal contains this no tice : "Institute was held in Huntingdon, du ring the holiday week, 144 actual members. Names of Instructors, J. H. Shoemaker and R. M. McNeal. A very active part was taken by the teachers in this county. A very full and interesting report of the Institute was given by R. M'Divitt, formerly County Superinten dent." This will be an item of NEWS to many teachers and citizens in this county; and, therefore, for the benefit of those who do not take that journal, it had better be pnblished in our own county. That the two gentlemen named were the instructors exclusively, is an error that needs correction. J. H. S. did fill his place successfully. R. 11. M. may have filled his—in his own estimation. His subject was Arithmetic. But there are several other gentlemen who occupied more prominent po sitions as instructors than he, whose names should have been sent to that journal accord ing to custom. Why 31r. McNeal's name was sent exclusively will be answered next May. R. M'Divitt may have made out the "report," but I was under the impression that the sec retaries did it. I know they recorded the proceedings as published, and I know Mr. H'- Divitt was not in constant attendance. Let truth prevail. JUSTICE. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS AT DUDLEY—The following letter was mislaid, until a few days ago, when it was unearthed. We assure our friend Palmer that we will guard against a re. pitition of such negligence in the future: DUDLEY, February 1,1871 Mr. Editor :—I am always happy to read, in your excellent paper, the news of revivals of reli gion in our county. We have a glorious meeting going on in Dudley. Over fifty precious souls have been converted to God. Most of them heads of families. It has been going on for seven weeks and is still going on, and it is my prayer that it may go on until there shall not be a sinner left on Broad Top. Since our meetings commenced we have bad some very solemn scenes as well as some very pleasing ones. Two of our dear brethren, John Dunlap and Mr. Heading, of Coalmont, both members of the M. E. Church, have passed to that borne frdm whence no traveler returns. Their funer als were preached in our church. One of the pleasing incidents I shall relate for the purpose of stimula ting others to do likewise; Two old persons, liv ing a short distance from Dudley, in one of the old ouses near the switch back, were reported to be sick, and no ono near them to give them any assis tance, and they were in very poor circumstances. They bad no wood to make fire and consequently they suffered very much from the severity of the weather. A collection was Liken up in the oburch, at one of our meetings, and the result Was $l4 in cash. The friends decided, after meeting, that on the following day they would get a team and take their axes and make ample provisions for these helpless old people, and thus we realized how much more blesseu it is give than to receive. The Methodist Protestant Church is in a pros perous condition. We have two sessions every Sunday. We have three classes which meet every week—Sabbath morning at 7 o'clock, a. m., after noon at S o'clock, and on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock. Yours most respectfully, J. PALMER. TROUGH CREEK.—EDITOR JOURNAL : —Whilst reading articles from other parts of the county speaking of their merits, &e., we deem it not out of the way to occupy a small space in your most valuable paper to say a word concerning -Old Trough Creek." The Valley derived its name from the peculiar deep narrowness of the creek running through its centre much resembling a trough, wind ing from its source, near Mr. Brenneman's, in a southerly direction, passing the farm houses, and Calvin. one of the villages, onward leaving the Cassvillians to the east, then in a westerly direc tion until it empties Into the Raystown Branch of the Juniata river. Trough Creek, for the past year. has boon enli vened with saw mill men. Several parties have placed their steam saw mills on the mountain slopes and are fast felling the stately yellow pines which heretofore were as dead bodies, but are now proving valuable as to quantity and quality, giv ing employment to quite a number of men making an increased amount of travel on the road to Mill Creek and to Huntingdon. which has brought about the question whether parties can overload county bridges and render them unsafe; whether there is not some restriction under which they could be placed by the Commissioners? This question is agitating this section of the county considerably. The bridge between Mill Creek and Huntingdon, on this road, has already given signs of giving way. The braces are working out and tremble when one of these large loads aro upon it, so much so that great fear is manifested for the result.— Probably a word from you on this question would he of great interest to your reuders. This bridge is one that is used excessively, and if not abused, would do ordinary duty for a number of years. On the other hand, if broken down it will have a bad effect on the part of this county. llad not the Com missioners better see that it is safe and if not, take steps to make it so? JuNtort INIIACITANT. Feb. 20. 1072. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—Broad Top City Lodge, No. 579. I. 0. of 0. F., of Pa., Feb ruary 4, 1372. WHEREAS, Since the last regular meeting of this Lodge, it has pleased the All-wise and Most . . Mer;iful Creator of the universe to summon from our midst, by death, our well-beloved friend and brother, Isaac Newton Sheets, there fore, be it Resolved, That in the death of brother Sheets, we humbly recognize the hand of Divine Provi dence in taking from our midst, a useful and hon orable member of the order, whose loss we deeply mourn. Rewired, That in the daily life and walk of our deceased brother, we have an example of the honest, upright man, respected citizen, and faith ful Odd Fellow, an example worthy of imitation by all. Rewired, That as a Lodge, we deeply sympa thize with the family of the deceased, in their great Ims, praying that the God of the widow and fatherless will shield them under Isis wings of mercy.. Re'solced, That our Lodge-room bo draped in mourning for the space of thirty days, and that the members wear the usual badge of mourning for the same time. Resoiced, That these resolutions be recorded in the minute book, and that a copy be furnished the family of the deceased, and that they he published in all the county newspapers. J. W. AMMERMAN, THOMAS LOBB, }Committee. SAML. G. MILLER, THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL, HUNT INGDON, PA.—One of the first exchanges re ceived at this office, in answer to our prospec tus, was the above-named periodical, edited by J. R. Dcanoattow. The make up and general typographical appearance of the JOURNAL is unexceptionable, while it abounds in all the latest news pertaining to its section. The paper is indicative of a high-toned, apprecia tive constituency.— The Neu York Coal and Iron Record. Roar. U. Jecou At Co., are now prepared to furnish Anthracite and Broad Top Coals, in any quantity, at short notice.

THE PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL for March has been received. Its contents more than con firm our high opinion of that magazine's char acter. The very instructive articles on "Fish Culture in America," and "Ague and Fever" are alone worth more than a years snbscrip• tion. But besides these there is a long list of readable matter. Attorney-General Williams; Expression; Harriet Hosmer ; Our Horse-Cars; Will it pay? Writing for the Press ; The Arc tic Regions; James Fisk, Jr.; Lord Brough• ham's Ghost; Rev. George H. Hepworth, etc., with fine portraits and numerous illustrations. Price 30 cts, or $3 a year, S, R, Wells, 389 Broadway, N. Y. SCRIBNER'S FOR MARCII.-The March num ber of Scribner's is bright with picture, story, and poem. 'George AI fred Townsend gives us, in the leading article, a glimpse into that pic turesque and romatic, but hitherto little known region, the "Chesapeake Peninsula," many of the accompanying illustrations being particu larly- bright and attractive. Bayard Taylor has an interesting article on "The Heart of Arabia," with effective pictures ; and Mr. Townley contributes entertaining sketches of the celebrated artists, Page and Bierstadt, in his illustrated series of "Living American Ar tists." Noah Brooks' account of "The Cruise of the Balboa" is a curious and graphic tale, founded upon feet; and from Susan Coolidge we have a tender little story, entitled "In the Brook." The third of Warner's delicious "Black-log Studies ;" "Statistics of Statira," by Mrs. Sherwood, and an article by Wm. 0. Stoddard, throwing light by means of the Suez Canal surveys, upon the Red Sea cross ing of the Jews under Moses; President Sabi son's paper on "The False Claim of Mormonism.' —in which he denies that polygamy isjustified by Asiatic or patriarchal custom, Mohamme dan or Mosaic statutes,—all these are sugges tive in different ways ; but the article in the present number likely to attract most atten- Lion is Col. Knok's account of "That Grand Jury," of which he is a member, and which has achieved such distinction for its fearless action in the matter of the city frauds. He tolls several amusing and pathetic incidents of the session, and indicates the ingenious man ner in which witnesses were obtained to testi fy in the fraud cases. H. 11. and Hiram Rich are the poets of this somber. Mrs. Oiiphant's "At His Gates," is continued with growing in terest, and George Macdonald's" Wilfrid Cum bermede" is concluded. In the "Topics of the Time" there are "essays" on "Easy Lessons from Hard Lives," "Something that Wealth can do for Labor," and "Fewer Sermons and More Service." "The Old Cabinet" falls un der the heads of "Affectation," "A. Sermon for the Times," "The Balloon Age," "What My Family Knows About Me," and "Welcome Macdonald I" In "Home and Society" are "In Behalf of an exile," "Illuminating," and "Beef, -tea." In "Culture and Progress Abroad" and "at Home" many timely subjects and new books are discussed ; in the latter is an edi torial on the extraordinary story of 'Wilfred Cumbermede" (now published in book form), ana this very diversified number ends with a delightful pencil satire, in the department of "Etchings," on the Opening of the Duck seas- OD.
