SPRING ELECTIONS.—The System,
of Cumulative Voting for Borotigh Councils.—
The Legislature, some year.> ago, changed the
law fixing the time for holding borough and
township elections, from the third Friday in
March to the second Tuesday of October. It
was believed that many advantages would re•
suit from holding the local and State elections
on the same day, but experience soon showed
that the change, if not positively injurious, was
so inconvenient and unsatisfactory as to call
for the substitution of the old plan. Accord
ingly the spring elections were restored dur
ing the session of 1871, to take effect in the
spring of 1872—that is, those officers elected
in October, 1870, held over until the elections
this spring. The borough and township offi
cers will therefore be elected, as usual, on the
third Friday (15th) of the present month, ex
cept that the members for town Councils shall
be elected in the manner provided for in sec •
lion third of "An act for the further regulation
of boroughs," approved June 224. 1871. That
section reads
"In elections Lir members of town council, each
voter may, at his option, bestow his votes singly
upon six candidates, or cumulate theta upon any
less nu ober, in the manner authorized by the fourth
section of the act to &hue the limits molts organ
ize to the town of Bloomsburg, approved March 4,
1870; and vacancies in any such council shall be
filled in the manner provided in the fifth section of
the same act ; but nothing herein contained shall
be held to regulate or effect the manner of choosing
the burgess or other principal elective officers of a
borough, even when he shall be authorized to serve
as a member of the town council."
Section fourth of an net "to define the Halite and
to organize the town of Bloomsburg," provides
that ••each voter duly qualified shall be entitled
to es many votes as the number of persons to be
chosen," and may poll his votes has follows
First. Where two persons are to he chosen, he
may give ono vote to en-h of two candidates or
two votes to one.
Second. Where three persons are to ho chosen, he
may give one vote to each of three candidates, two
votes to one candidate and one to another, ono vote
and a half to each of two candidates. or three votes
to one.
Third. Where four persona arc to be chosen, he
may give one vote to each of four eandidates, one
one vote and one-third to each of three, two votes
to each of two, and four votes to one.
Fourth. Where FiX persons are to he chosen, be

shall be declared elected. Whenever a voter

THE JAPANESE TRICK—Sa Old Game
in a New Dress.—Yesterday a well known
Pittsburgher arrived in the city after ajaunt to
the far West. He explainea to some friends,
whom he met in the Union Depot, a new game
that he had learned. "You see," said he, "We
were coming along pretty lively between Alli
ance and Enon, when at a way station a rath
er smartly dressed young man entered the car
and took a seat beside me. He had not been
seated long before he entered into converse •
tion. He had been out West, and on his re
turn to the States lie had traveled a portion of
the way with the Japanese embassy. One of
the Orient bad taught him a very funny trick
with three little cards. One of the cards con
tained the picture of a woman, and on each of
the others was an eagle. These the new com
er manipulated very slowly, throwing one to
the right and another to the left, and placing
the other between the two. "Now on which
of the cards is the woman ?" asked my new ac
quaintance. "On this one, to be sure," said
turning it up, and I was right. "Well now."
said he, that's strange, let me try again, let me
try again. lam only learning." So he threw
.them around again, about as slowly as before,
keeping the card with the woman on it in the
middle. "Now" said he "you cannot tell where
the woman is?" "Yes I can," says I, for I
knew it was the middle card. • "Well, I'll bet
you ten dollars you cannot," said he. "Here's
your ten, and I'll bet you twenty more," said
my new acquaintance. I put up twenty more,
and then knowing that I had a sure thing, and
keeping my eye on the woman card in the
middle, I increased the bet until we had two
hundred dollars a side up, when I called for a
decision, and he told Me to turn the card over.
With one hand I reached over to receive the
stakes while with the other I turned the card,
and, do you believe me, that woman was an
eagle I My new acquaintance left the car with
his spoils at Enon Station. Ido not want to
see a Japanese trick for the next ten years."
And here we had "three-card monte" blamed
on the poor Japanese.—Pittsburgh Chronicle.
ELECT GOOD MEN FOR SCIIOOL
Di
aeCToss.-We clip the following from the
State Journal:
"We arc glad to observe that, as the spring
elections approach, a disposition is manifested,
throughout the State, to secure the election of the
very best men for school directors. There seems
to be a new interest awakened on this subject,
promoted by some powerful influence seeking the
promotion of the best interests of all communities.
The more thoroughly each subjects are discussed
the greater must be the benefits derived from our
magnificent system of free education."
We read the above paragraph with great
pleasure. If there is any one office, more im
portant gran another, to be filled at the Spring
Elections, it is that of School Director.
Upon the School Directors, in a great measure,
rests the respoasibility of the success or
failure of our educational system—Abe deed],
opetnent of the rising generation. If you
place men who are inaifferent and dilatory
in this office, you can expect your schools to

We urge the people of Huntingdon county
to elect their best men—we mean their most
live school men—to the office of School
Director. You must have schools and let
them be worth having.

THE JOHNSTOWN MYSTERY CLEARED
lip—The Victim Fully Identified—Michael Nowa
Finally Committed.—The inquest in the case of
the woman found murdered in the woods near
Mineral Point, on last Friday morning, was
concluded yesterday beforo Coroner Harrold
of Cambria county. The conductor of the
mail train west, on last Thursday night, fully
identified Michael Moore as the person who
got off his train in company with a woman
who was veiled. Moore was placed among
the crowd present at the inquest and the con
ductor picked him out as the inditidual. A
baggage check came into the possession of
Justice Strayer, being handed to the magis-
Int-Onziolfir,sou who received it from Moore :
had been carried from Tyrone to Amine. It
I was sent for and found to be a trunk. This
was opened in the presence of several witness
es. and was found to contain a memoranda of
the name of deceased, Mary (not Bridget)
Boyle, with the direction to two places in
Philadelphia where she had lived—No. 43 and
4002 Dean street. A certificate of the mar
riage, by Father Mullin, of Johnstown, of the
deceased to Michael Moore, in 1853, with the
names of the witnesses to the ceremony was
also found in the trunk. In addition there
was a quantity of woman's wearing apparel, a
waterfall, a side-comb of the same appearance
as the one found at the scene of the mur
der and some other articles tending to show
that the woman had started for Johnstown,
with the determination of remaining there.
The letters written to deceased by Father
Garvey, entreating her to come and live with
her husband, were also found in the trunk.
The ticket agent at Tyrone testified to having
sold two tickets to Johnstown on Thursday
evening, and that the trunk in question had
only been checked to Altoona. Moore, it ap
pears, had gone on all the way to Philadelphia
for the deceased, in place of meeting her be
tween Mineral Point and Altoona, and that of
ter leaving the train at the Point accompanied
her to a secluded spot, where the murder was
committed.
After the testimony referred to had been re
ceded the jury returned a verdict to the effect
that the deceased had come to her death at
the hands of her husband, Michael Moore, on
the morning of Friday, March Ist, 1872. At
the conclusion of the inquest officer John T.
Harris and S. B. Cohick took Moore into cus
tody, and he was finally committed and sent
to the Ebensburg jail for trial at court, on the
charge of murder.—Pittaburgh Commercial 7th

J. S. CORNISAN,
_ES9.
✓ Editor of the Monitor,
Sir the Monitor
of the 27th ult., you referred to a schedule
prites, which was signed by the publishers of
the several papers in this place, executed on
the 28th day of December, 1870, and, which of
the Globe, of the sth instant, gives the follow
ing version :
"About the time the Monitor sautes, in the win
ter of '7O and '7l, and about the time Mr. Durbor
row was getting rendy to kstte the first number-of
his enlarged Journal. Mr. Doritorrow cailedat our
I.e r.. Meet him and Mr. Corn
wall at the letter's office in the afternoon to fix up,
uniform rates fur advertising. etc. We hail not
time to attend the meeting, but expressed our wil
lingness to agree to the rates they might arrange.
A day or two after, Mr. Durborrow again came to(
our office and presented the rates agreed upon by
himself and Mr. Cornwall, and without examining
them we signed theta, and they were taken charge
of by our associate, Mr. Lindsay, put in type and
inserted in our paper as uur rates. Two or three
weeks afterwards our attention was called to our
new rates by several gentlemen who had been ad
vertising with us. and then ler the first time we
examined them, and found that our rates for tran
sient advertising, was run up to about 'two hun
dred per emit. higher than our former rates, when
the editors were informed that we would - not stand
by such rates, and w•e at once took the responsi
bility of attending to our business earself, and
changed our rates to what they are now, reasona
ble and living rates:*
This would seem to require an explanation,
at my hands, in justice to you as well us to
myself.
When I became one of the proprietors of the
Jourmar., in the winter of 1870, I resolved, to
the best of my ability, to make it a first-class
country paper. I was fully aware that to do
this a large amount of money would hard to
be expended for type, presses and other mod
ern improvements, and to meet this, and the
additional outlay,in publishing a larger paper,
with twice the amount of reading matter con-.
Coined in the old Journal and American, I felt
th at we would be compelled to charge higher
rates for advertising. 1 examined the rates of
the different papers and found that there was
no uniformity whatever; that each paper had
a schedule of prices of its own. This I con
ceived to be all wrong. I had no desire to
under bid my neighbor, nor did I wish him to
under bid me. I accordingly culled on you,
and subsequently on Mr. Lewis and Mr. Lind
say, and suggested that we agree upon a sched
ule of reasonable prices. I stated to Mr. Lewis
and Mr. Lindsay, if I remember correctly, that
' , I wanted to 'live and let live,' that there was
room enough for both of our papers, and that
there was no necessity for cutting each other's
throat." A time and place of meeting were
agreed upon. Mr. Lewis did not attend. I
was told, several times, in the meantime, that
it was useless for me to endeavor to get Mr.
Lewis to agree to a scale of prices, that he
would never adhere to them. I had, however,
more confidence in Mr. Lea-es. I believed him
to be a gentleman.
On an examination of the rates we found
that the Monitor was charging $lOO.OO per
column. This I thought fully high enough
and, though I knew the columns of the Joca-
CAL would be several inches longer, I conclu
ded to leave the price at that figure, but on
farther examination we concluded jointly that
the table was not properly graduated, from
three to twelve mouths, and we agreed upon
a regular gradation, which increased the rates,
of regular advertising about twenty per cent.
This was certainly a very trifling increase.—
The question then arose in regard to transient
advertisements. I was in favor of adopting
a schedule similar to that used in Chambers
burg and Bedford. But we concluded to charge
ten cents a line for the first four insertions
and five cents a line for all subsequent inner
tions less than three months, while in Cham
bersburg they charge fifteen cents a line for
the first insertion, and ten cents a line for
subsequent insertions less than three months,
and in Bedford ten cents a line for all loser
tious less than three months. I believed these
rates to be very reasonable then and I think'
so now. The man who inserts a transient ad•
vertisement may not insert more than one in a
lifetime and he should certainly pay more than
the man who advertises year in and year out.
I called upon Mr. Lewis and Mr. Lindsay with
the schedule you and I considered and Mr.
Lewis examined it and thoeght that there would
be serious objection to the rates. I explained
them and he attached his signature, followed
by the signature of Mr. Lindsay. It was subse
quently signed by Mr. Nash and myself. Mere
the matter rested until I learned, indirectly, that '
Mr. Lewis had pulled down the scale agreed
upon and substituted one of his own. There

quently there was no notice taken of the mat

treated the Globe fairly in this and every oth

disposition shown toward us.
I have, through life, made it a point to se.

sure that the man who denies this to his fellow

BROAD To CITY, March 12, 1872.
MR. EDlTOR:—Sometime ago I happened to
be in Huntingdon, and having a little business
at the Commissioners' office, I called in while
the board was in session. Several gentlemen
were lounging about the room when I entered,
while among the Commissioners there appear
ed to be a very angry and violent discussion
going on. One of the Commissioners was
very violent and swore very lustily, while the
others appeared to approve, but with less
oaths, if not with less emphasis. It was some
minutes before I could fully comprehend the
drift of the severe denunciation ; however,
when I did, I found it to be a denunciation of
charges for county printing. I became very
much interested and listened with eagerness
to what was said, and 1 assure you, my friend,
my better judgment condemned you, and I
made up my mind to assist in raising a breeze
about the cars of the printers, who could be
so exorbitant in their charges as to rob the
county. I really wondered whether any other
county in the Stat.e could be similarly treated
and I made up my mind to investigate the
matter, and if I found my impressions to be
correct, to blow "you out of water." I noticed
though that the principal, and only argument
of the Commissioners, was that they had paid
so much less heretofore, and that the present
prices were such an unreasonable aavance.
This matter annoyed me considerably, and
after leaving the Commissioners' office I kept
turning it over in my own mind until finding
myself in the neighborhood of your office I
thought I would just step in and pay up my
subscription for the in coming year. You will
remember no doubt, my asking you whether
you had not some difficulty in increasing your
rates, You replied : "06, no i We have more
advertising no*, much more, than the JOURNAL
has ever had. We have had some litt.e grum
bling on the part of men who talk, as if they
just gave so much to the paper every year, to
support it. A kind of pew rent. We hare
lost a few customers of this kind, but we don't
want this kind of patronage. If an advert.ser
cannot realize his money out of advertising in
our paper, we don't want his advertising.
Practical business men looks at the matter
in this way, and for this class we preserve our
space. We have doubled our circulation and
our spans is worth, consequently, just twice
as much as formerly," or words to this
effect. This was not what 1 wanted. I
wanted to get your views in regard to county
printing. I then inquired whether your prices
did not increase the charges for public print
ing very considerably. Your reply was in
effect, that they did. You then went on to
say that the conduct of the Commissioners of
Huntingdon county, towards the publishers of
the county papers, was, to say the least, a dis-
grace and a reproach upon the fair fame of a
great county like ours. 1 felt this reflection
very keenly, I assure you, and wondered how
you intended to make such a sweeping charge
good. You' continued by saying—l cannot,
give the exact words, but as near as I can
recollect—that county papers, like public
schools, Public institutions, public libraries,
denominational churches, courts, and goveen
ments, and every institution that is maintain
ed by the public, for the benefit of the public,
should be generously supported. That every
dollar that is paid towards the inaintainance
of a good, moral and high toned newspaper,
that meets the wants of the public fully, is
returned a hundred fold in lessening the ex
penses of our courts, our jails, and our alms
houses, People in this enlightened age, are
judged by their newspapers, and this is just
as it ought to be. People who will not sup
port schools and churches must have igno
rance and vice, and the newspaper is the
pil
lar of fire to both school and church, But
the Commissioners of Huntingdon county have
never looked at the matter In this light. It
has been their business to stab and crush out
their papers. Yes, the very papers that have
otented tbpns to ofQee, Yearly they have gone to
the printers and said in will give you a dol
lar for printing five or ten dollars worth of
advertising—not enough to pay for the setting

of the type—and if one wouldn't do it, some
one could be found, who supports an office
with some other out side business, willing to
take it. How can good respectable papers be
kept up in this way? No one can keep
up the standard of a country newspaper with
out being paid, and if it is rue without labor,
it must become uninteresting and be without
influence. It takes all the support which a
party can give a paper, in a county, to afford
a decent living for those who control it, and
et every effort is made to cut down its ligiti
mate patronage, while everybody demands
that it denounce every local wrong and advo
ate every local improvement. In other words
t is expected to subserve every public good
ithout any expense to the public. But we
sift want any tax levied to support us as is
levied to support a court, a jail or an alms
house, while we are of equally as much
benefit to the county, but like the school
teacher, the minister, the superintendent, the
julge, the commissioner—we want to be paid
just as thuch for doing the public's work as
we charge individuals and there is no reason
wiy we should not be. There is no reason why
the printer should be made an exception !
I must confess that your mode of putting it
knocked the props from under me. It may be
pcssible that I have not given your arguments
,the force that you gave them, but you can
ccrrect by adding below if you see fit. You
alto showed me a list of the expenses of the
sa - eral counties, which you had compiled, but
1 mly remember a few now, and only round
timbers: Dauphin $4,200, Franklin $2,700,
Ledford $1,700, and even little Fulton, with
hit a little over a fifth of the population of
luntingdon, $6OO, while that for our county
Dr 1870, if I remember correctly, was $2BO
$283.50—e5.] lam not astonished that you
omplain at the conduct of the Commissioners.
have given this matter much thought since,
.nd especially since, I notice that a bill has
men introduced into te Legislature regulating
eg,al advertising. I feel confident that the
teople of Huntingdon county are as liberal as
my other people in the State, yea, in the
vorld. Yes, sir, I feel proud of my native
munty, and we want newspapers of char
acter, with broad and liberal views, that
stand up for our local institutions, build up
our towns and manufactories, and denounce
imposition and wrong wherever found. the
that strikes our newspapers strikes us—they
are our sentinels on the watch-towers of our
liberties, and when the sentinels-are taken
town on account of a beggarly avarice the
masses are at the mercy of everything that
treys upon them.
Sir, if you think this can be of any advan
age to you, you are at liberty to publish it
vith any comments you may desire to make.
I am yours, respectfully,
A TAX-PAYER.
["A Tax-payer" puts our case so much
dronger than we can, that we have very little
to add. He improves upon our argument, we
ire sure, and, that done. welhink, the ground
pretty well covered. Mr, as the opportunity
afforded us, we will draw attention to a few
.hings in addition to what has been brought
out by him.
The publication of a newspaper is a means
of communicating intelligence to the public.
t takes the place of the carrier and the poster.
It reaches thousands of persons in a single
lay. It is the best means ever discovered for
the dissemination of intelligence. It is not a
public enterprise but an individual one, and
a; such, it becomes, to the individual who con
tiols it, a source of profit as the telegraph
ofice, the railway car, the mercantile agency,
co: as either is to the partiet who controls it.
All the parties we have named can deed head
jest as much as they please ; so can we ; but i
they don't dead head; they have regular rates
for everything they do ; so have we ; and no
one thinks of refusing to pay their rates, why
then refuse to pay ours and not their's? We
only want fair 'rates—nothing more, and we
can give our people the worth of their money.
We are aware that the Commissioners have
imposed upon the printers so long that they
try to make their charges a soap-goat
for all other excessiveness. They will pay
without a word the officers of the -court, hun
dreds of dollars, for securing the attendance
and the trial of some trifling case, that is per
haps the result of malice, and of no interest
to any person but the parties concerned, but
if the printer, through his medium, secures
the attendance of every tax-payer in the
coutrry,--atru .141.1 g, Icsw-ttrair - - fr
would charge for subpoenaing a half-dozen of
witnesses, they would curse him and charge
him with robbing the county. This kind of
fairness we have had enough of We mean to
be treated like any other respectable trades
men is treated, or we will quit the business.
Printing must be a very mean business, in
deed, when every booby in the land under
takes to make prices for it.]
NEWS FROM THE `'IsOIVE2 END."—
LIVELY TIMES are expected here during the
coming summer, and many a rich incident will
doubtless occur to relieve the monotony and
dullness which characterize this vicinity now.
The medium by which we expect these lively
times to reach us and occur, is the E. B. T. R.
R. We have nothing new as to the location,
and know only that their Engineers are now
in their head quarters at this place—Mt. Union
—doing some office work.
THE WEATHER is about as changable as well
calculated to promote good health and com
fort; the thermometer changing from twenty
degrees above to zero in twenty-four hours,
but on one or two occasions six degrees below.
Last week was a real Apra or May weather,
while now,
"The air is thick With falling snow,
The white drifts fill the street."
But you know Mother Shil'ton's prophecy :
"The world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one," •
So we must expect everything to turn up
side down before that time. A correspondent
of one of our dailies, writing from Wisconsin,
Feb. 12, gives the thermometer at "fifty-nine
degrees below zero. As mercury freezes at
forty degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, it is
probable that some other was the measure.
LEAP YEAR has been entirely forgotten by
the gentler sex of our town ; vre judge from
the fact that not a lady has even intimated to
your correspondent that this was that year.
Now if we were writiug from Three Springs
or Orbisonia it would be quite different, as
these towns, by the way, contain the least
ni.mber of marriageable ladies it lies ever
been the writers misfortune to visit (I) But a
town of our importance, with from twenty to
thirty good looking, handsome young ladies—
we think it rediculous that they should let an
occasion of this kind pass by without noticing.
The ladies of Lewistown are said to have
adopted a novel method of celebrating the
advent of Leap year : Nothing more nor less
than a public sale, at which the following
prices were brought: Lawyers, (an inferior
grade) $5 a head; farmers, from $4.50 to
$5.50 ; doctors, (common stock, and evidently
"drugs in the market") $5; clerks, $17.50 to
87 cents ; said to be cheap ; widower; $lO.OO,
bidding spirited; bachelors 75 cents to $1.05,
and the bidding slow. The high price paid
for the widowers seems unaccountable to the
bachelors. Ladies, call to see Jim when in
own.
Tae Ilwan of the Lower End of our county
is not so good as is generally the case—the
prevailing disease being the measles; some
families having so many as six cases, others
three and four. One case known to us to have
proved fatal ; that of a child in Clay town
ship. Another is said to have went insane
from them. Several cases of scarlet fever
reported in Shirley township; those proving
fatal as reported by "Aughwick" in your last.
MIFOR IvEms.—A horse attached to a buggy,
and hitched near the railroad, frighteeed at
the cars, a few days ago, and, breaking lose,
run about half a mile, when it was stopped ;
not, however, till the buggy was csmpletely
demolished.
The teamster referred to in my letter last
week has since died. He leaves a wife and
four small children, in very poor circum-
stances, to mourn his loss.
A young man, by the name of Gifford, had
a foot smashed while hauling logs last week.
You will most likely hear from me at Shir
leysburg next week. ARGCS.
March 8, 1872,
MR. EDITOR notice that you desire Local
'Correspondence. I thought perhaps yon would
have no serious objection to an occasional
epistle from your humble servant in this pre
cinct. Although I don't know that I have
anything very important to communicate,
Business is dull, and money Is as scarce as
"hens• teeth." We have some prospects of a
now railroad from East Broad Top to Mt.
Union, or Manayunk, probably to the latter
place.
There has been much sickness iu this neigh
borhood for the past three months ; soar throat,
measles, and scarlet fever, are the prevailing
maladies ; a number of deaths have occurred
within a short time.
Grain is looking bad, though it is hard to
tell, at present, to what extent it is injured.
The opinions of farmers, respecting the pros
pects of a crop, are as various as the weather
is changable.
"Political things" seem to be a good deal
"mixed."
Ditto, the "Poor House" report. We like
to see things condensed in a proper way. But
the late report of our poor directors, "beats
the bugs." To say the least, it is such a con
glomeration of things that it must be refresh
ing to all reflecting taxpayers. In the first
place, we find sundries $141.74, then ashes
121 cents. How is that for itemizing? Then
we have "posts, mutton and real,"—mixed.
We have heard it said that "vinegar rnd weal
—mixed of course—makes eery good wituals."
But "posts, mutton and veal" is something
new under the sun." Who ever heard of the
like? The paupers who are compelled to di
gest such provender as that deserved the sym
pathy of all mankind. Then we have a pre
scription of "posts and medicine." Zounds!
What a dose that must have been for the poor
sick! We do wonder what the disease was? It
must have been something very malignent that
required such a powerful dose. Hope the
disease is not contagious. If it is and we be
come a victim, we shall die rather than take
a dose like that. We have no authority for
saying whether the physician in charge pre
scribed as indicated in the report or whether
the Steward and Directors got things "mixed."
lam inclined to believe the latter. It may be
that medical science is progressing in the
right direction, and it may be that poor house
affairs are not. We don't exactly know. But
here comes stocking yarn by the yard, rails
by the cord, crocks by the pound, with some
kearsey, cord wood, and stove coal mixed in.
Now kearsey by the yard, yarn by the pound,
coal by the pound, crocks by the piece, wood
by the cord, and rails by the hundred, is some•
thing very common and natural to everybody;
but this thing of yarn by the yard, crocks by
the pound, and rails by the cord, does sound
funny, not to say unnatural. In the next re
port we shall look for wheat by the foot, cof
fins by the bushel, potatoes by the bundle,
mutton by the yard, and posts, rails, cord
wood, and all such eatables and medicines by
the ounce.
We think the managers of the Poor House
are entitled to the credit of getting up this
novel and convenient way of doing things. It
possesses the merit, at least, of being decided
ly original. We suggest that the Direct°lop
secure a copy right of their late report and
sell it as a curiosity. We think there is money
in it. OCCASIONAL.

A SIGHT NEVER BEFORE WITNESSED
rx HENTINGDON.—Editor Journal: Being in
Huntingdon out day last week, and passing
along Hill street, my attention was attracted
by the longest row of Sewing Machines ever
seen in Huntingdon. There were 60 Boxes !
A whole car load, of the famous HOWE ma
chines, just received from the factory and
stacked up in front of Brown's Carpet Store.
The people want the best machine, and Brown
is prepared to supply them.
LITERARY NOTICES.—THE ALDINE
FOR Mints.—With this number the full acepe and
resources of the American Art Department begin
to be fairly manifest, and we turn its pages with a
proud consciousness that, at last, we are to have a
periodical that shall do credit to the taste and tal
ent of our country. Those who were so pleased
with the inimitable conception of Maud Muller,
- WlTtite.ll,lMlo danCll•l7 nve•••••., rtt gszu to re
cognize the powerful pencil of Miss Davis on the
first page of this issue. Here we have the heroine
of "Hood's Bridge of Sighs," as she stands in her
desperation, undeterred by the minor terrors of
"the black arch or the dark flowing river." The
artist has with wonderful power fixed "the daring
last look of desparing—" yet the face is that of a
woman, ono endowed with the, to her, alas! fatal
gift of beauty. The glare of a light on a passing
boat, itself invisible, brings the ogonized Mee in
strong relief against the almost silhoutte blackness
of that dreary night, and the picture is ono that
willnot quickly lose its interest with the lovers of that
most touching poem of this or any other language.
The next illustrations area series of six, which, with
the magnificent full page, "Blowing Rock," illus
trate an appreciative and enthusiatic article on the
scenery of Western North Carolina. This region,
heretofore comparatively unknown to the mass of
our people, is demonstrated to be one of the most
attractive places in the country for admirers of the
beauties of nature. The illustrations are from the
pencil of Mr. Piguet, and three principal ones, "On
the Linville, "Watauga Falls and "Blowing Rock,"
are rendered by three masters of the graver, Bo
gert, Geraty, and Henry Linton—to the na, a
native American artist, is probsbly due the high
est rank in the engraving world, and the picture
before us would alone go far to establish the claim
—for wealth or detail and perfect preservation of
the artist'apencil effects, this block is a wonderful
exhibition of power and faithful devoted attention.
With such talent at hand it is really surprising
that we should have been so long without a publi
cation adequate to its full development and demon
stration. The portrait of "Man's Unselfish Friend"
will be welcome to everybody, for who does not
love a noble dug? There are several smaller cuts
which deserve attention; and the literature, prose
and poetry, is of that high order which gives The
Aldine a still further claim on the American peo
ple for recognition and support, and is fast win

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD
DR. CROOK'S COMPOTND
SYRUP OF POKE ROOT
Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu -
tation an a Blood Purifier. and for the erre of
Rheumatism. With aU this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Coe,
Lee, Ring, Wilson, M. Mint, Griffits, Copland and
others,) who have tested its medical powers; it
has been neglected by the profession at largo, as
much through a want of a proper appreeiation of
its merits, ac a knowledge of the proper way to
prepare it for medical use. Dr. Oliver Crook, (a
physician who devotes his entire Simko tbe duties
of his profession), has fully tested the active toed
teal qualities of Poke Root during the last 2.
years, and unhesitatingly prononaeas it to have
MORN rows—for diseases depending ono deprav
ed eondition of the blood,—than any and all other
articles named in the Mated.. Marilee. Under his
instructions our Chemists have ootabineci the ac
tive medical qualities of Poke Root with 'he best
Tonie Preparation of Iron, and we offer this prs p
otation to the public under the above dame.
