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

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.

ufacture sell like hot cakes. See his Carpet

A GOOD LAW PROPOSED.—The follow
ing bill passed the HOUS2 at Harrisburg last
week. 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

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

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

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.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—Broad Top
City Lodge, No. 579. I. 0. of 0. F., of Pa., Feb
ruary 4, 1372.

one of the most useful and interesting jour
nals ever published. Every number is beau
tifully printed on fine paper, and elegantly
illustrated with original engravings, represent

tinual source of valuable instruction. The

tific American, 37 Park Row, New York.
AMERICAN HOMES.—The illustrations and
stories in the February number of this popu
lar dollar magazine are of the first order.
George Alfred Townsend bas a story entitled
"A Chesapeake Wonder Tale," which is of
absorbing interest, and a serial by him to be
called "Crutch the Page, a Talc of Washing
ton City," will be begun in the next number.
It cannot fail to create a decided sensation.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that "American
Homes is edited with a singularly symmetrical
judgment, and that 'it gives more thought .d
entertainment for one dollar a year than any
monthly publication in the United States.' "
Subscriptions for American Homes are pour
ing in from all 'sections of the country and
Canada, and it is meeting with great success,
its premium engraving to every subscriber
proving a great card. A unique list of pre
miums is offered, and the ladies and girls can
dress elegantly without cost by getting sub
scribers. Address CHARLES 11. TAYLOR
& CO., Publisherl, 51 water street, Boston.
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-

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. B.; from In
dionapois over the Indianapolis, Bloomington

running through B7RLINGTON, reaches Omaha,
Linenlu, Nebraska City, St. Joseph, Atchison,
Leavenworth and Kansas City, connecting
with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and
other Railroads running from those cities.
Always go 'By way of Burlington," and you
will sure to be right.
The Burlingto; Route has admirably an
swered the question ~ flow to go West ?" by
the publication of a truthful and interesting
document, filled with facts in regard to Time,
Connections, Accommodations, rates of Fare,
and other interesting items, and illustrated
'by a large map, truthfully showing the whole
