Wasn't it the red clay lot on which Mrs. Dwin's house now stands ? and your experience in farming, when you pulled up a stock of corn and ran to show the folks in the house how "big it had groomed." Hey?—Newport News. How is this, Joseph ? TIIE NEW COLLECTION LAW.—Below we publish the act extending the Bedford County Collection Act to this county, followed by the text of the Bedford county bill. This plan, for the collection of taxes, has been in use, in the Western States, for a number of years, and it has been extended to a number of counties in this State. and wherever it has been introduced, the results have been every thing that its friends have claimed for it. We have been a witness of its practical workings in Bedford county, for two or three years, and we arc satisfied that the people would not return to the old system under any circumstances. When the new system was adopted the county was fearfully in debt, the money scattered over the county, in the hands of twenty-five or thirty collectors, who were paying in just as little as they possibly could and every Court the Commissioners were obliged to borrow money to pay ju-ors and other expenses. In fact the old system had proven an entire failure. A great many men seek the appointment of collector to get the use of the county funds, and this being the case the duplicates arc nevq paid up for sev eral years after they arc sentmt, and now and then somebody becomes a defaulter and the county has great difficulty in getting its mon ey or is cut out entirely by a special act of the Legislature relieving somebody. Of course a number of persons, who are applicants for the duplicates, will growl at this bill and mis represent it, but the tax-payer will find that it will save the county from a thousand to fif teen hundred dollars each year, and will save him five per cent. on his tax for prompt pay ments. The man who will have one hundred dollars to pay will just save five dollars, and this is an item. Everybody will have notice, weeks ahead, that the Treasurer will be at a certain point, in a certain district, and the tax-payer prepares to meet him and gets five per cent. off The result is that the Treasu rer, after making the circuit of the county, comes back with $20,000 or $30,000, and the Commissioners will not be constantly borrow ing money and paying heavy percentages to keep the courts running. This system is very prompt and business like, and consequently it is effective. It may be a little slow getting into motion this year, but when it moves it will please everybody, except those who are determined not to be pleased : AN ACT To provide for the more economical collection of State, County, Poor and Military taxes in the county of Huntingdon.

GEARY. THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTEAL.--The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad was held in Philadel phia last week. From the report read, we learn that the earnings of the main line, be tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, were re ported to have been $18,719,836, and the ex penses sll,B23,433—leaving a net profit of $6,899,403. This is an increase of more than a million over last year. The earn ngs of the Philadelphia and Erie branch were $3,542,263, yielding a net profit of $758,590. Two divi dends of five per cent. each were paid during the last year. Large expenses have been in curred in strengthening the tracks, building iron bridges and laying steel rails in place of iron. The amount to be paid as rental under the lease of the New Jersey lines is $1,048,500 per year. The assumption of these roads, says the report, is only to be justified by the very great importance of securing an outlet terminating on the Hudson river. There has not yet been time to make the charges neces sary to obtain from these lines the revenue required to make them pay the ten per cent. which they will cost every year. The report speaks at length of the operations of the "Pennsylvania Company," and the "Southern Security Company," organizations which are entirely controlled by the Pennsylvania Cen• tral, but cannot be merged into • it with con venience. The roads now in possession of the Pennsylvania Company, of which Thomas A. Scott has been chosen President, amount in the aggregate to about 3200 miles, and pen etrate all parts of the West. The President of the Southern Security Company is George W. Cass. Its operations extend into the South and South-west, and it controls all the lead ing routes in lines region. The tonnage of the road shows an increase of 25i per cent. since 1870. Greatly increased shipping facil ities for agricultural products are needed at Philadelphia, and should be provided for by opening Delaware Avenue along the whole city front. The Company has taken an active part in starting a new line of steamers, which are to be ready for service next summer. In every respect the Company is prosperous. Its affairs now equal in magnitude those of most civil governments, and its yearly receipts and expenditures are more than twice as great as those of the State of Pennsylvania. AN ANGEL ON THE RAILROAD.—A week or two ago, a large, fine looking, middle aged lady stepped off at this place and "run down the town." She was very free and easy in her manners, courtesied and simpered, and smiled, so pleasantly, that she would have taken in a saint, in these degenerate days. After looking all about the place she made a raid upon our excellent neighbor—a bac'aelor by the way—who gives people assurances of the safe arrival of baggage. William's good looks, pleasing address and winning disposi tion may have especially attracted the "lovely femail" and she stopped at his room, where checks are numerous, and craved some little favor, which he, in the very kindness of his great heart, accustomed as he is to all manner of baggage, with a number of the most rever ential bows, and scrapes and smirks, granted. In granting the favor, however, lie was oblig eh to turn his back for a moment. When the train arrived she left west taking many kind and pleasant thoughts—the good wishes of our friend—with her. A short time afterward a telegram was received, from a conductor, want ing to know whether he had lost any checks. Ile took the first train and followed west and found his visitor on board. She had pledged a check, which she had pocketed, while his back was turned, for a free ride to Altoona, alledging that she had baggage at Spruce Creek. The baggage man compromised with her and "passed" her to Altoona, where, no doubt, she was perfectly at home. Our friend has no faith in the devil on the railroad, but thinks he would just as soon see him as some angels that he has met. DISTRIBUTION OP TILE REED & SCIIELL FUND AN BEDFOUD.—Many of oar readers will remember that, a little over two years ago, the banking house, of Reed Schell, at Bed ford, suspended, creating great distress throughout the entire community. Assignees were appointed and at the last regular term of court the first distribution was confirmed. By this account it appears that the partnership indebtedness accepted is $169,756, and Jacob Reed's individual indebtedness, . $12,708.94. So that the entire indebtedness in, Bedford county, will fall but little, if any, short $190,- 000. On the individual indebtedness the as signees were able to pay 61.9 percent. amount ing to $7,869.53 and upon the partubrship 6.7 per cent. amounting to $11,741.43, showing that the whole amount of money realized, by the assignees, up to the filing of the account in question, was only $19,610.96 or about ten per cent. on the whole indebtedness. It is quite probable that the individual creditors may be paid out, or within fifteen or twenty per cent. of it, but the partnership creditors will scarcely realize forty per cent. This is a very sad termination of an affair which brought distress and difficulty to so many homes. No wonder that Bedford, which has had very lit tle, if any wealth, is without money. Her citizens have been laboring under such finan cial difficulties as no other community in the State has experienced, and yet she has, in the meantime, contributed liberally to her railroad and built four churches. ENLARGEMENT OF TILE CANAL.—The Pennsylvania Canal Company now controls 363 miles of navigation—main line from Col umbia to Hollidaysburg, 173 miles; West Branch and Susquehanna division, from the junction to Lock Haven, 114 miles ; Wyoming division, from Northumberland to Wilkesbarre 64 miles; Wiconisco canal, recently acquired by the company, 12 miles. Two years ago last fall the company com menced to enlarge the dimensions of its canals. The channel is about five feet deep, twenty eight feet wide at the bottom and forty-four feet at water line. The improvements make it six feet in depth, thirty four feet at the bot tom and fifty-fiee feet across the surface of the water. It is expected that the work of increasing the width, etc., from Columbia to Wilkesbarre will be completed by June next. Large numbers of workmen are now engag ed in digg ng between Middletown and Col umbia, Clark's Ferry and Northumberland, and between the latter place and Nanticoke dam—a force of nearly 2,000, which is being gradually increased, as laborers can be pro cured. The wages paid amount to about $60,000 per month. Four dredging machines are used during the summer, each of which are capable of remov ing five miles of bank a season. The cost is about $lO,OOO. The intention of the company is to make the diminsions of all the canals alike, but this may not be consummated for several years. The company owns three steamboats and thirty-seven canal boats. The entire number on the different lines reaches about nine hun dred, which transport in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 tons of freight, such as coal, lnm b2r, etc., annually. The main line and branches of the company have 114 lift and 16 guard locks, most of those on the eastern division (which passes throng) Harrisburg) having double chambers. The enlargement of the Pennsylvania Canal is already giving ample evidence of its utility in facilitating navigation. Eight pairs of sec tion boats, each couple capable of carrying safely and expeditiously 300 tons of freight, arc now plying the lower canals, where the channel has been enlarged to the requisite di missions and double chamber locks have been introdned. Two of these boats pass through a lock together one behind the other. The capacity of an ordinary boat is about 100 tons so it will be seen that 300 tons of freight can be transported almost as cheaply as 100 under the old system of navigation. The water be ing deeper by a foot about can be more heav ily laden without requiring any additional horses. The capacity of two section boats is about fifty per cent. greater than that of one of the barges on the Erie canal, which chan nel is considerable wider and deeper than the improved Pennsylvania. When the enlarge ment has been effected on all the lines of the Pennsylvania Canal, double chamber leeks will be generally erected and section boats substituted for those now in use.—Meintown Independent. A WOMAN MURDERED IN THE WOODS. —The vicinity of Johnstown, Cambria county, is at present startled by the discovery of one the most fivndish murders that has been com mitted in this State for years. The name of the unfortunate victim is unknown, or at least the remains had not been identified yesterday, at which time one of our reporters visited the scene of the bloody deed. The body, that of a female, was first seen on Friday morning, by John Shriver, a resident of Johnstown, lying on the side of a mountain, on the lands of the Cambria Iron Company. Ile, it appears in the evidence, had been out fox hunting, when one of the dogs he had with him got upon the track of a man in the snow. The dog followed it and Mr. Shriver continued in the course pursued by the dog came to the dead body of a woman, evidently about forty-five years of age. It was some distance from the place to the nearest house, and Mr. Shriver at once pro ceeded to alarm the people. During his ab sence from the body, sonic person, yet un known, covered it with brushwood and leaves and set them on fire. When Mr. Shriver and some persons to whom he had communicated his discovery returned to the spot the fire was still smouldering. After removing the body from the fire the party separated and searched the mountain gorges in the vicinity in hopes of discovering tha murderer, but their efforts were not rewarded with success. Speculation is ripe in Johnstown and Cone maugh as to the guilty party. Chief of Police Irwin, of this city, visited Johnstown yester day morning and was busily engaged all day working up the case. When our reporter left the Chief thought he had a clue that would lead to the arrest of the perpetrator of the deed. The remains, up to the present writing, have not been indentified. Mr. Martin, proprietor of the Merchant's Hotel, in Johnstown, is of opinion that the body is that of a woman who stopped at the hotel some weeks ago. She had come to Johnstown for the purpose of engaging in the millinery business. She re mained at the hotel for a few days and then took boarding at a private bossy. Her name was Amberlin, and she said she was from Ohio. This woman has not been seen for sev eral days, although she was in the habit of calling regularly at the postoMee for letters. When our reporter left Johnstown yesterday, Justice Strayer's police, we were informed, were endeavoring to find 4 , ut where Mrs. Am berline had been boarding since leaving the hotel. Some of those who viewed the remains of the unfortunate victim on Sat...rday are of the opinion that she had been outraged and then strangled to death. The Coroner cut froth tGe victim's neck a piece of cord which was sunk into the flesh, which seems to strengthen the suspicion as.to the mahner in which the wo man was killed. It is hoped that in to-mor row's Commercial we may be able to announce the arrest of the party guilty of this trerrible crime.—Pittsburg Commercial, March 4th. A Bar FALLS BENEATH. A LOADED WAGON-Arm and Leg Crushed.—A son of William Richner, of West Huntingdon, aged fifteen or sixteen years, was 'Man ties, near Mill Creek, on Friday last, and on reaching a hill he endeavored to draw the rubbers, and was precipated beneath the wagon, and it, with its ponderous load, passed over his left thigh and arm crushing ,he bones as if they had been so many reeds. He was brought up to this place, on the way passenger, the same day, and on his way up he won the admira tion of all the passengers by his coolness and calm demeanor. The passengers presented him with small sums of money as a token of their appreciation of his manliness. He was taken to the residence of his father where his wounds were dressed and the broken and crushed bones set, as best they could be, by Drs. Brumbaugh and M'Carthy. We have not heard from him since. • WARRIORSMARK AND FRANKLIN ITEMS. —The en:ricers, of the Lewisburg,Centre and Spruce Creek Railroad Company, still board in Warriorsmark. They have located a route to run near Huntingdon Furnace Mill, to a point about a mile and a quarter south of Warriorsmark, thus leaving the venerable town out in the cold. A meeting of the subscribers of stock was held this week to protest against paying, if the road were thus located, but after some inter-change of opinions and deliberation they adjourned to await events. Rev. Wagoner preached an interesting ser mon last Sabbath, in the M. E. Church, of Warriorsmnrk, and took up the annual mis sionary collection, amounting to $79.50 which we have no doubt will be made a hundred. The citizens of Cross Roads were favored, with a very interesting lecture on Wednesday evening, by Robert Weir. Subject : Natural Science. A spelling contest came off in Franklin vi le, last Thursday evening, a week ago,which resulted in awarding the first prize to B. F. Brown; second, A. G. Ewing; third, David Miller; fourth, D. R. Miller, and fifth B. F. Kinck. A. M. Laporte had his face badly injured by his horse falling with him, on Saturday even ing last.

Royer It Deweos have re cently opened a new vein of fossil ore, one and 'a -half miles south of Rock Bill Furnace, at the base of Black Log Mountain, of superior quality, hich promises an abundance of the precious article. Others, in different sections of the country, are still exploring, with favor able prospects. RAILROAD SVIIVEYING.—The engineer corps, employed by the East Broad Top Railroad & Coal Company, have finished their several lines of survey, and arc now making out the estimates of the several routes, in order to re port to the Company. as soon as possible. The anxiety which has been so much manifested by the citizens along the several lines, as to the final location, will soon be settled. The location, when made, will no doubt be a good one, for no time or expense has been spared in selecting the most favorable route, having been some nine months since they commenced the survey. Dzerns.—The scarlet fever that I referred to in my last communication, has abated measureably. It was confined hiefly to Shir ley township and Shirleysburg, but not with out causing some four or five deaths in the course of one week. Its second victim was the youngest son of Reuben Myers ; the third was the youngest daughter of Samuel R. Doug las, aged twelve years, and was the second death in this family, f this disease, in one week; the fourth was Mrs. Ellie Swine, aged eighteen years, wife of David Swine. They had been married some two months. John McConahey, of Hill Valley, died on the 21st ult., of cancer in the face. His suffering was great for the last two years. Aconwrca. FRIEND DVIIBORROW : * * * The Monitor man, gets off quite an editorial, in reply to "That Cartoon"—in other words. replies to your articles and engraving on the tariff question of the proceeding week. A thought or two presented itself, when reading said article ; and while writing you, shall take occasion to notice it. Among his ary,uments for free trade he says, we "mean to so increase the duty on all goods that American Manufactures will have no competition, and thus be able to demand prices which will permit them to pay their neighboring farmers such prices as will ena ble said farmers wives and children to revel in the luxuries of fashion and drive from the field soiled linen, and labor worn clothing."—(the italics are my own). Now, how in the name of common sense free trade advocates can use this argument we are unable to see. This specimen of free trade logic and the inferences intended to be drawn from it are so utterly false that it merits particular attention. A protective tariff to drive from the field soiled linen and labor worn clothing! Substitute free trade for protective tariff and the argu ment is good. Say we have free trade on Iron, which can be manufactured across the Atlantic at a much lesser cost than here, from the fact that, comparatively speaking their labor cost them nothing! bring this article here and sell it for a less price than our man ufactures can make it—Result, the closing of principally alI our manufacturing establish ments ; throwing innumerable men out of employment, their families thereby, in many instances suffering, they not being able to ob tain employment elsewhere. Either this, or have the laboring class in America as in Europe—England in particular—at the pres ent day, xeceives such low wages that rising is, and living almost, an imposibility. Our Iron mills provide work, not only for the thousand men at each mill, but for twenty thousand others who work up the raw cr rough material, gi *ng them work at such wages that will enable them to live well. Again free trade would not diminish our national debt, the $150,000,000 that it each year does. Can our friend tell us what could be gdmed by us destroying our own manufac tures, in order to become the customers of European workshops ? On the one hundred and fortieth anniver sary of the birth of the great Washington, (22d inst.,) two conventions for nominating candidates for President and Vice President, were held in Columbus, Ohio. The prohibi- tion convention was composed of delegates from nine states; and after adopting resolu tions, nominated James Black, of Lancaster, Penna., and John Russel, of Michigan, for President and Vice President. Mr. Black is a lawyer of Lancaster city, and once represented that county in the House of Representatives—is also ^. Past R. W. G. C. T., of the Right H. G. L., 1.0. of G. T. of North America, and G. W. C. T. of Pa., is now, President of the State Temperance Union, and is a true and tried friend of the temperance cause. Of Hr. Russell we know but little. The names of Horace Greeley, B. F. Butler, Chief Justice Chase and others were presented for nomination to the Presidency at this Con vention. The Labor Reformer: at the same time and place, nominated David H. Davis, of Illinois, and Joel Parker, of New Jersey, for the same offices, the one an ex-Republican. the other a democrat, said to be a strong ticket (?) An accident occurred to a teamster employ ed at Rock Hill Furnace this afternoon, which may result in the amputation of a limb, if not worse. This man, with three or four others were hauling logs, (which they have been for some time and have hauled about one hun• dred and fifty) they were in the act of loading the last log, when for some reason it rolled off the wagon, knocking the man down and falling on his right leg, he was conveyed home in a buggy, Dr. James called in when it was found that several bones were broken or mashed near the knee—the cap being broken irto pieces. The man has a family of small children. Feb. 29,1872. Aaous. MURDER IN TROUGH CREEK.—Editor JOURNAL.-We frequently hear it said that "Murder will out." This expression had its origin in obscure ages, and has proven true in inany, many instances, but from the follow ing it will be seen it has failed as yet. It will be remembered, by a portion of your readers, at least, that upwards of twelve years ago, our usualy quiet neighborhood was startled by the news that the skeleton of a man had been found almost in our midst, about two hundred yards from the road, on the cast side of Terrace mountain, a distance not exceed ing two miles from the centre of our valley. People hurried to the spot in numbers and an iaquest was held by the proper authorities, whose verdict was that the person had been murdered. A man had been !ranting and found the naked bones and a small box which had been broken open—containing a few ar ticles of little value. The remains were de cently interred by the citizens, thinking that some day some friends might find them out. In regard to the length of time that had elapsed, prior to the discovery, no one could tell. Until the present the public is in per fect ignorance as to who committed the mur der. It is hoped by the community that ere long some intel.igence will be gained in re gard to this mystery and the fiend, if livin7, be brought to justice. Juxion INHABITANT. RELIEF OF CAPT. BRICE X. BLAIR 31r.11. Milton Speer introduced the following bill into,the Lower House of Congress entitled "A Bill for the relief of Capt. Brice X. Blair," postmaster at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania: WHEREAS, the postoffice at Huntingdon, Penn sylvania, was broken into on the night of October twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred and seventy, and the safe therein blown open and postage stamps stolen therefrom to the amount of three hundred and twenty eight dollars and forty-eight cents, without any fault or neglect of the postmaster : There fore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep• resentatives of the United Slates of America in Congress assembled, That the Postmaster Gen eral be, and is hereby, authorized and direct ed, in the settlement of the accounts of Brice X. Blair, postmaster at Uuntingdon, Pennsyl vania' to allow him a credit for the sum of three hundred and twenty-eight dollars and forty-eight cents, the amount of postage stamps stolen from his safe on the night of October twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred and seventy. THE WAY OF A POSTMASTER.—The following verbatim letter was received at this office in January last : J K Dirbrow Rev Dear Sir you Will Please to Not Send me your paper as there is more Reading matter Comes to this office than I can Reade so you see it Does not pay fur me to pay for a paper when I can get it for nothing lours do Co [lt it a little too bad that this poor post master must read everything that is sent. to his office.

"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, Ban sas, Colorado,California and the Territories, and the traveer reaches almost any point therein by a.splendid Line of Railroad. This Ii;;E, of Railroad is the Buniscros ROUTE, which starts from Chicago over the Chicago, Burlington Is Quincy R. Ft.; from In• dionapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington Western Short Line, and from Loginsport, over the Toledo, Peoria k Warsaw R. R., and running through 13 , rnmaros, 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.
