time before trains will run through to Mt.
Savage.
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT—JAS. BRICK
ER, ESQ., HORRIBLY MANGLED ON THE RAILROAD.
—The citizens of this place were horrified be
yond expression, on last Wednesday evening,
at a report in effect that James Bricker, Esq.,
an old citizen, had been terribly mutilated on
the railroad and that there were doubts enter
tained as to whether he could recover.
The facts, as near as we could learn them,
arc as follows : Mr. Bricker and W. I. Steel,
about nine o'clock in'the evening, went down
to the foot of the Lock, generally known as
“Snyder's Lock," to see a Mr. Piper, who re
sides in that locality, on business, and were
returning with Mr. Piper in company. On
reaching a point opposite the gas tank au
engine coming down signalled and Bricker
stepped off on the up-track, while the other
gentlemen stepped off to the side of the rail
road. The noise of the down-train prevented
him from bearing the First Stock west ap
proaching on the up-track, and before he was
aware of his danger he was beneath the wheels
of the engine and cars of the up-train. After
the passage of the trains be was found with
his left leg terribly smashed and otherwise
much bruised. He was carried to the railroad
station and thence home to his afflicted family.
The accident occurred about half past nine
o'clock. Dr. Gemmell, of Altoona, was tele
graphed, who came down on the Philadelphia
Express, and he, assisted by Drs. McCullough,
Miller and Flemming, amputated the limb. He
died on Friday afternoon at four o'clock. This
is another warning to those who will frequent
the railroad without due precaution of the
terrible fate awaiting them. Mr. Bricker is
the last man that any one would have sus
pected of meeting with such an accident.
FOR SALE—The Bee Hive Grocery and Can
dy Manufactory. The business is good, and
the only reason for selling is on account of
bad health. Apply or address N. B. Corbin,

CHICAGO REmEr.—The report of the
Chicago Relief and Aid Society, covering the
contributions of all kinds made by the people
through christendom, to the unfortunate suf
ferers by the conflagration of the Sib and 9th
of October last, has been placed upon our
table. From this we learn that Huntingdon
county contributed in both money and other
necessaries. The contributors of clothing and
bedding were from citizens of Orbisonia, if
we are not mistaken, while the money was
from this place. The other contributions of
Huntingdon were sent to the sufferers of the
North-west. From the Report before us, we
learn that the total cash receipts up to Janu
ary 6th, 1872, were $3,335,700.75, of which
amount $1,573,636.19 were expended, leaving
a balance on hand at that date, of $1,762,064.-
16. We prize these reports very highly. They
preach a finer sermon than was ever uttered by
mortal lips, and teach a higher and a better or
der of humanity than the history of the world
has ever before chronicled.

THE TOURNAMENT.—The third annual
rifle tournament of the Sportsmen's Club, of
Huntingdon, came off on Thursday last, and
was the occasion for the assembling of a
goodly number of marksmen. The weather
was cold and blustry, and consequently the
shooting was not as good as it would have
been had the day been favorable. The fol
lowing is the result : First prize, Wm. Con
rad, of Philadelphia, string. Uf inches; sec
ond prize, Wm. Posten, of Smith's Valley,
string 12 inches; third prize ; M. B. 3fsssey,
Esq., of Huntingdon, string 12f inches.
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.—A local news
paper is the traveling agent, taking his week
ly round to the families of all their custo
mers. No matter whether times are good or
dull; no matter whether trade is brisk or
otherwise, no business man can afford to take
down his sign, nor withdraw the pleasing
weekly chat with his customers through the
newspapers. For a business man to stop ad
vertising would be equivalent to his • saying,
"I have stopped business, and ask no more
favors of the people."
THE people are not slow to learn Howe they

311:RDElt TRIALS.—The ease of the Com
monwealth vs. John McGinity charged with
the murder of Daniel McClain, near Bridge
port, on the 21st of October last, was called
for trial on Monday of last week. E. F. Kerr,
&N., District Attorney, assisted by J. M. Rey
nolds, Esq., appeared for the Commonwealth,
and G. H. Spang, Esq.,
Hon. W. P. Schell, J.
W. Lingenfelter and A. King, Esqs., for the
defendant. About three hours were occupied
in the select on of the following jury, viz:—
Daniel Barley, Josiah Zembower, Geo. Kim
berlain, Michael Dihert , Charles "irickroy, Ed
ward Northcraft, Josiah Imler, Nathan Shaw,
John Grove, W. L. Horn, Samuel Frazey and
Samuel Barefoot. District Attorney Kerr
opened the case for the Commonwealth sta
ting fully the facts connected with the trage
dy and the evidence on which the Common
wealth would rely for a conviction. We have
not the space to give the testimony in the
case as it was quite lengthy. The evidence
however showed the following facts that the
prisoner and one Lewis Nelson went to the
house of Mayberry Simpson on the morning
of the 21st of October last, about 9 o'clock ;
that they inquires for Dan. McKain, dec'd.,
as soon as they got into the house ; that the
prisoner and Dan. McLain immediately got
into a quarrel ; the prisoner stating that he
had hurt his hand at Bridgeport and intend
ed to hurt it again; that the prisoner struck
first; a fight ensued in the house and outside;
that they were parted outside and the priso
ner said, "Dan, lets shake hands and be
friends ;" that they did make up and Dan.
McLain come back into the house ; had re
mained there some minutes when McGinity,
the prikoner, approached the door with a
knife concealed in his right hand and called
Dan. McLain to him to fight it over; as Mc-
Lain came to the door the prisoner stabbed
him in the left side, making a wound some
four inches in depth, through the lower lobe
of the lung; McLain lived about twenty-four
hours afterwards.
J. M. Reynolds, Esq., opened the argument
for the Commonwealth and for ono hour held
the jury and the crowdthat thronged the court
room, in a speech abounding with power and
eloquence. G. H. Spang, Esq., followed in an
able, effective and eloquent appeal to the
jury for mercy towards his young client, in
which lie held the jury and audience spell
bound for about a half hour. Hon. W. P.
Schell closed for the defence in which he ably
reviewed the testimony and discussed the law
of the case in a convincing speech of about an
hour in length. District Attorney Kerr then.
closed for the prosecution. His speech was a
telling one for conviction, show_ng in a clear
and forcible argument the guilt that rested on
the prisoner. Judge Hal delivered a lengthy
and able charge to the jury on the law and
the evidence, concluding his charge by sta
ting to the jury that the crime committed was
murder in the second degree. The jury fol
lowing his instructions returned a verdict ac
cordingly in less than ten minutes. The pris.
ouer was sentenced to 5 years and G mouths
in the Western Penitentiary.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. Chris
tian Hartman charged with the murder of
John McAttee, at Bridgeport, ou Tuesday.
25th December last, was called for trial on

named Mulany and Dobson • he came to
Bridgeport on the morning Of the 25th of
December, and met McAttee the deceased,
Hartman the prisoner, and some others, in the
bar-room of Crouse's hotel; Burket asked
McAttee, Geo. King and the prisoner to go
with him to make the arrest; while the party was
getting ready to go, Mulany came to Bridge
port and was arrested by McAttee and taken
to the constable ; some words passed between
the constable and McAttee about what was to
be paid him, McAttee, for making the arrest ;
while they were disputing, the prisoner, Hart
man, came up and said to McAttee he should
take 50 cents or he would get nothing; Mc-
Attee replied to the prisoner that "it was
none of his business, he should shut up his
mouth or he would slap it;" the consta
ble then said to MeAttee he would fix
the matter and started into Riser's black
smith shop near by; just as they got to the
door, Riser looked across the road and saw
the prisoner pointing a gun at McAttee, who
was standing with his back towards him ;
Riser called "don't shoot! for God sake, don't
shoot I" the prisoner lowered his gun and
McAttee started to run away from him ; when
he had run about 11 feet the prisoner raised
the gun again, took aim and fired, shooting
McAttee through the heart.—Bedford Gazette.
THE AMERICAN WORKING PEOPLE.—A
monthly magazine earnestly devoted to the
cause of protection to American industries,
and to the interests of the working people,
comes to us this month full of terse exhaustive
articles against the policy of a revenue tariff
only. It is liberal in tone,
comprehensive in
grasp, and thorough in its dealings with the
great questions to government and society
which it undertakes to discuss. Upon its first
page appears a scene of farmer's life and sur
roundings under free trade and protection.
In the former poverty indicates the result of
seeking a market across the ocean, and in the
latter plenty and comfort revealed on all sides
are a powerful argument in favor of protec
tion. It is a truthful picture.
On the second page appears the "History of
Protection" 'by the editor, in which the com
mercial policy of European governments to the
American colonies will be rigidly investigated
with a view to elucidate and evolve the truth
underlying the antagonistic theories of protec
tion and free trade. This history will be car
ried down to the present time and it is under
stood will then appear in book form. The story
of "Katie Kyle" breaks a monotony and it be
comes immediately interesting.
The disastrous consequences of English
free trade in Ireland is portrayed from histori
cal sources.
The biography of the eminent railway en
gineer, George Stephenson, is introduced and
furnishes an instructive and encouraging chap
ter to workingmen.
Its protection articles strike home, and
should be read by all who feel an interest in
the social and Political convervation of Amer
lean workingmen and American ideas. Nu
merous wall chosen selections intersperse the
voluminous original matter, and on the whole
we have not lately met with a more Valnable
and interesting magazine.
- It should be read by all classes. Published
by the Iron World Publishing Company, Iron
World Building, Pitt-burgh, Pa.
MR. EDITOR :—The communication from
'.Justice," in your last issue, has excited con
siderable comment. The author of the notice
of our recent Institute, in the school Journal,
whoever he may be, I am con4dent is ignorant
of the common forms of courtesy among edn
cated men, or else, with a gross disregard of
such rules, the said notice was made for per
sonal motives.
I will do It. M. dI. the justice to say I do
not believe the notice was sent in that form at
his suggestion, but the object in view is too
apparent to e mistaken by the initiated. I
believe the gentleman referred to to be too
modest a young man to wish to be publicly
named as an instructor of teachers or mem
bers of the Institute, many of whom commen
ced teaching before he had entered his teens,
and have, years ago, in schools of all the vari
ous grades and sizes, proven themselves as
thoroughly competent teachers, in every res
pect. I do not mean my remarks as being
personal, nor do I wish them to be taken as
such.
Some of the teachers, and others who took
an active part in keeping up the life and in•
terest of the Institute, aucl yet who are not
connected with the public schools, are well
known in other places besides Huntingdon
county. Why our Institutes do not draw more
strangers from a distance, who take a lively
interest in school matters, is a question for
solution. Who will answer this question, viz:
Why do the schools of some of our adjoining
counties have a higher reputation than the
schools of our own county? "Justice" is a
close observer ; perhaps he will answer it. Let
the ball roll, CITIZEN.
THANKS.—Wm. March Sr Bro., return
thanks to those of their patrons who so
promptly responded to their request to call
and settle; and they also desire those who
have failed to comply with their request to
do so without further delay.

THE CLARK JEWELS AGAIN. --Verily
there is no end to the sensation arising out of
the suicide of the mysterious Mrs. Clark the
woman with so many husbands—which tragic
occurrence took place at the Union Depot Ho
tel not many months ago. In the first instance,
the public were startled by the announcement
of the suicide in view of the fact that the wo
man was possessed of diamonds and jewelry of
the value of $1,200, and again, before
the inquest was well over, the public mind
was again directed to the case by the
appearance of a Mr. Clark, the represen
tative husband, whose bout with the
Coroner for possession of the valuables
w ill no doubt be recollected. Sundry other
Mr. Clarks presented themselves to the Coro
ner at regular intervals, while the Coroner
held the valuables. And finally the Court ap
pointed an administrator to dispose of the
property. This was done, and the diamonds,
etc., the actual value of which was $1,200,
were sacrificed for little or nothing.
Thus ended the case at that time, and it was
thought by many that its mysteries would re
main buried in oblivion.
It seems that the jewels, Sc., of the deceased
Mrs. Clark, were purchased by Mr. Cohen, a
pawnbroker, doing business on Smithfield
street, between Seventh avenue and Liberty
street, and have since the purchase, been regu
larly on display in his show window. About
nine o'clock last evening, while sitting in the
rear end of the shop, Mr. Cohen heard a ter
rible crash in front, as if the window had been
smashed. lie hurried to the door when the
supposition was discovered to be well founded.
There lay the fragments of the window pane
which had been shivered to atoms. So alarm
ed was the shopkeeper that he almost entire
ly failed to see a man, the party who er - zashed
the window, who was • then disappearing
around the corner of Liberty street. Ile
caught a glimpse of him, however and gave
chase, but the fellow dodged into the alley, at
the foot of Seventh street, and disappeared.
An examination of the valuables displayed iu
the window was immediately made, when the
astonishing discovery was made that all the
valuables once owned by Mrs. Clark, were
gone. They were together two feet, at least,
from the front of the window, and no other
jewelry seemed to have been disturbed. Not
one of the pieces belonging to the deceased
Mrs. Clark's set was lett, a clean sweep of the
whole having been made. Mr. Cohen at once
informed a detective of the facts, and he set
to work immediately on the case, but at last
accounts no clue to the perpetrators of the
daring outrage had been discovered.—.Piits

"How TO GO WEST."—Forty years
ago, Illinois was as far West as most people
wished to go, and journeys were made in the
legendary "Prairie Schooner," but in these
days of Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean lowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado, California and the Territories,
and the traveler reaches almost any point
therein by a splendid Line of Railroad.
This line of Railroad is the BURLINGTON
ROUTE, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. K.; from In
dionapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw R. It., and
running through BURLINGTON, reaches Omaha,
Lincoln, 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 yon
will sure to be right.
. • •
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question "How 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
West, which they distribute free of charge.

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD
DR. CROOK'S COMPOUND
SYRUP OF POKE ROOT
Wherever Poko Root grows, it has a local repu
tation as a Blood Purifier, and for the care of
Rheumatism. With all this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Coo,
Lee, King, Wilson, M. Gant, Griffits, Copland and
others,) who have tested its medical powers; it
has been neglected by the profession at large, as
much through a want of a proper appreciation of
its merits, as a knowledge of the proper way to
prepare It for medical use. Dr. Oliver Crook, (a
physician who devotes his entire time to the duties
of his profession), has fully tested the active med
ical qualities of Poke Root during the last 25
years, and unhesitatingly pronounces it to have
none soma—for diseases depending on a deprav
ed condition of the blood,—than any and all other
articles named in the Materie. Medics. Under his
instructions our Chemists have combined tho ac
tive medical qualities of Poke Root with the best
Tonic Preparation of Iron, and we offer this prep
aration to the public under the above name.
