The JOURNAL office is the place to get your job work done. aspirants for the County Superintendency are looming up. A flock of wild geese passed over this place on Sunday last.

SOlll9 of our young men prefer blue-eyed maidens, and others dark-eyed ones, but of late years the mon-eyed ones have had the call over all others. Half a lemon eaten every morning on rising, and on retiring, is often efficacious in remov ing a billions condition of the system, giving a good appetite and greater general health. The officials of the Broad Top Railroad, and especially Supt. McKillips, will accept our most grateful thanks for courtesies shown us in our late 'move" from Bedford to this place. We shall ever remember their kindness. A Hollidaysburg leap yenress calls on her beloved every Sunday night with exemplary regularity, and goes home alone after midnight. One of onr devils says she wouldn't "go home till morning," if she were going with him. The borough election, on Monday, was a tame affair, there being but one ticket in the field.

The price of wool is still on the rise, and farmers should be on the lookout for specula tors who arc contracting fer wool at figures below the market rates. Men who don't read the newspapers will doubtless have the wool pulled over their eyes, but our subscribers will be on the alert. This hint may be worth a dozen years' subscription. Don't sell your wool too soou. A correspondent of the Huntingdon Journal says that Rev. J. W. Evans ' , immersed five persons in Germany Valley, on the 3d inst." A good dry place for immersion.—Blair Coon- I ty Radical. This is certainly an item of news to us. We know of no valley, of the same size, better supplied with water, than the little valley of Germany, in this county, which contains, per haps, within its area, the most abundant soil, the best water, and the cleverestpeople of any valley within the limits of the five counties, of the same population and extent. METHODISM.— Central Pennsylvania Conference Appointments. The Methodist Episcopal Conference met at Lock Haven on the 20th of March —Religious services con ducted by Rev. J. W. Hauhawout. The jour nal was read and approved. The committee on Dickinson college reported favorably in re gard to the affairs of that institution. James P. Davis was made supernumerary with an appointment. The committee on memoirs was granted permission to prepare memoir of Rev. Dr. Ryan, of York, and furn ish the same for publication in the annual minutes. The following paper, signed by J. B. Young, W. M. Meminger and H. C. Pardoe, was read and sdopted WHEREAS, Our beloved brother, John D. Brow n, intends to return to his work in India; And whereas, His zealous, intelligent and constant labors among us in behalf of foreign missions has been crowned with great and gratifying success, rendering the cause more interesting, familliar and weighty in our view, and bringing us to feel more deeply than ever our responsibilities. Resolved, That we tender to Brother Brown our hearty thanks for the instruction and en couragement we have gained by intercourse with him, that we assure him of our tenderest sympathies in the approaching trial th at awaits him in parting from his children for the sake of preaching Christ in India, and that we will follow him with our prayers that God may powerfully bless him and make him a mighty instrumentality in the redemption of the land of the Hindoo to Christ. Rev. Dr. Hodgson addressed the conference in a very touching and felicitous manner in relation to the transfer of Brother Brown to his foreign work. The amount of $853. 11 was announced as being the collection for the expenses of the general conference delegates. The tract committee presented a report which was read and adopted. . . The report of the Sunday school committee elicited considerable discussion. The committee on Dickinson Seminary re ported as follows : Incases, It has been one of the great ob jects of this conference to secure a first class litera7 institution within the bounds of our conference, and God has blessed us with such an institution in Williamsport Dickinson Sem inary; therefore. 1. Resolved, That we hear with pleasure and gratitude of the continued prosperity of that institution. 2. That we have the most implicit confidence in the present efficient president, Rev. W. Lee Spottswood, D. D. 3. That we pledge ourselves as a conference to contribute to the support of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary by securing for it alt the patronage we can. 4. That, having heard a statement from the majority of the directiors, we discover nothing in the present management or future prospects of the seminary to shake our confidence in its financial success. Resolutions of thanks were tendered the trustees of Lock Haven Methodist Episcopal church, citizens of the city and others. The conference joined in singing.

A NEW Law num.—We learn, pri vately, that our mutual friends, Edward F. Kerr, Esq., and J. M. Reynolds, Esq., of Bed ford, have entered into a partnership in the practice of law. They are young men of de cided promise. Both have considerable ex perience in the profession. Mr. Kerr read law under Hon. John Cessna and was admitted to practice about six years ago. He was ap pointed to the District Attorneyship as soon as he was eligible and he has been twice elect ed since. He has made an able and efficient officer and his services hare been properly appreciated as we have a right to know. Mr. Reynolds read law under the late John W. Dickerson, Esq., and was admitted about two years ago and shorly afterwards became a partner of his preceptor. He is a close stu dent and will make a thorough lawyer. He was presented by the Democracy of Bedford county to fill the place made vacant in the Legislature by the death of his partner, John W. Dickerson, Esq., but the nomination was conceded to Fulton. We wish them success. The LARGEST stock of WOOD woak and CAR nIAGE-MAHERS GOODS iS LO be found at WHAR.- TONS, 416 Hut Street, at prices that cannot be competed with. [ap3-21.

John Scott arrived at home, on last Saturday. He is enjoying excellent health and looks as if his senatorial duties weighed lightly upon him. By invitation a number of gentlemen met him at the resid,nce of Hon. David Blair in the evening. A luncheon was served up which did great credit to Mr. and Mrs. Blair. The occasion was a felicitous one, and at a reasonable hour all retired feeling that they had spent the evening very pleasantly. NEW HARDWARE STORE.—By refer ence to our advertising columns it will be seen that a new Hardware establishment has been opened in this place. This means :business. Read the advertisement and then drop in and see their stock. A GOOD PLACE TO STOP.—While vis iting Bedford, last week, we put up with "Mine Host" of the Bedford House, and found it to be a well regulated, well conducted and most bountifully and substantially served house.

WEDDED BLISS= Just one month had Mattie been married to me When the dear little puss came and sat on my knee, With the cunnin rest "peepers" that ever was seen, Whispered, ••Hubb!e," I must have a Sowing Machine. Of course I consented —what new husband would'ut? If it cost roe a thousand deny her I conld'ut. So I asked my pet blandly what kind I should bring her, And wisely she suggested a Singer. To be had at Blair's on easy term. SHADE GAP, Pa., March 30, 1872. MR. EDITOR:—If you or any of your readers will follow the road leading south-east out of Orbisonia for six miles, pass over numerous bridges, thr , ugh the narrows of Black Log and Shade mountains and through a country thickly timbered, you will in all probability find yourself in the town of Shade Gap ; from which point this communication is dated. A daily line of stages, carrying the mail, runs from this place to Mt. Union, a distance of seventeen miles, passing through Orbisonia and Shirleysburg, from which places I wrote you. To say that this town is famous for its story-and-a- half buildings, old smith shops and stables, would hardly be doing justice to a town that gave sixteen republican votes out of twenty-eight, polled at the last election, which number is considerable when compar ed with the adjoining township, (Tell) where every twenty-second man is a republican. This township, by the by, is the strongest Democratic one in the county, and when viewed in any other light is the poorest. Here twenty dollars per month was paid for teach ing and nineteen offered ! Situated in or near Shade Gap is Milnwood Academy—Milnwood—what old residents of the county are not familiar with the name. Standing for a quarter of a century it still stands and now flourishes and blooms as bright as ever. The smiling face of Prof. Kuhn who returned from Yale College only a year ago—but is this interesting to the read er? Thought only answers, and to close the subject will say I had the pleasure of attend ing the closing exhibition of the Fall session, on the evening of the 27th inst. The exer cises were entertaining, amusing and instruct ing, consisting in part ofdialognes, orations— selected and original, and essays. To refer to any particular piece or person might be showing partiality, and have only to say that the performers all acquitted them selves well ; and in the whole, it was a grand success While seated in a store a few eve nings ago, discussing the Gray-McClure can; Local Option bill, &c., the idea struck me very forcibly that the policy pursued in elect ing our Presidents was very fallacious ; to illustrate, New Jersey has, say five electors in the Electoral College for President and elects her five Democratic electors by a ma jority of one in each district—making five of a majority in the State ; New Hampshire has, say three electors to send, and elects three Republicans by 10,000 majority each • so, in a close contest for President, where ihe vote would be even, leaving out these two States— the majority of five in New Jersey would out weigh the 30,000 in New Hampshire. By this system of voting Gen. Scott was defeated in 1852. Statistics show that Scott had 1,883,- 537 popular votes, and only 42 Electoral votes ; while the same year, Franklin Pierce had a popular vote of only 1,585,545 (or three hun dred thousand less than Scott), and had 254 Electoral votes and was elected. As absurd an idea as that of a stockholder in a joint stock company, who holds 200 shares, and has only one vote—the same as a man owning one share. The mountains spoken of in the first part of my letter, are said once to have been the hiding place of Lewis, the robber, and Captain Jack when fighting Indians. Many are the stories told of these two characters—one is, that the former concealed a pot of gold in one of the mountains, which has not yet been dis covered, so if any of your readers wish to be come wealthy, here's the chance. The weather is moderating, but our farm ers, in general express the opinion, that the grain crop will be a failure this year. Wheat is worth 51.50 here. Will be in M'Connells burg, Fulton county, the former part of next week and in Three Springs the latter part, from which place I will write you. My letter this week has been a little diffuse and my only appology is coils tout. macs. EDITOR JOURSAL :—On Wednesday evening, March 27th, the citizens of Shade Gap and the surounding neighborhood were treated to a grand entertainment, by the students, male and female of Milnwood Academy. This was no common affair, as the sinning countenances of an overflowing audience testified: This was the ending of the winter session, of this first class Classical School. The worthy Principal, Rev. W. C. Kukn, with the assistance of the talented musical artist, Miss Ellie Minick, have in a wonderful degree developed the literary and musical talents of the patrons of this school. Space will not permit me to give you the entire programme of Wednesday evening's entertainment. After the usual preliminaries to an exhibition of this kind, Mr. Theo. C. Peterson delivered the salutary address. Then "Over the River," was sung by many young voices, with Piano accompaniament. Then followed Dialogues, Essays, Oratory and more meet., iu wou mrEangoao LLGUGOCO;r4{I. 1 . 110 and touching duty of delivering the valedic tory address was assigned to a rising young artist of the school, David A. Bucher, after which followed a musical treat, and the de lighted audience disappeared to their homes. B. R. Shearer has begun the erection of a residence and store room on Main street, there is some talk of others going to build. This borough needs fifty tenant houses; this is a rare chance to invest capital. Its buildings are ever crowded, some houses contain four fam ilies, and only large enough for one family to live comfortable in. . A short time ago, a wild eat, saw fit to venture into the neighborhood of A. Drake, the "purps" quickly put the varmintup a tree, but it was no go, for Abraham put in an ap pearance and brought it down. P. S.—This was none 'o yer pole cats. Now AND TnEN. Shade Gap, March 30, 1872. LITERARY NOTICES.— Tice Aldine for April.—The feature of this issue is an exquis ite design by Victor Nehlig, entitled "Morning Dew." The delicacy of the artist's imagina tion is fittingly offset by the sympathetic treat ment of the engraver and printer. By any known process it would be extremely difficult to rival the effect, and we have no doubt that there are many who would not grudge the year's subscription for this single plate. This is the frontispiece promised every quarter. Then we find two other full page plates—an interior by Emilie, engraved in a masterly manner by Henry Linton, and a view on the "Hudson at Hyde Park," by George Smillie. Of the small er cuts "The Little Mother," by John S. Davis, is conspicuous as one of the very best speci mens of figure drawing that we have yet seen from an American pencil. Mr. Davis is con scientious in every detail, and lovers of true art will look to his future with the greatest expectation. Pictorially, this number justifies the highest commendations, and indicates a fixity of purpose, on the part of thopublishers that argues well for the American Art. The literary department is very well sustained, and we think, for excellence and variety, this is the best number yet issued. Among its stories, which are always good, we may mention "Mr. Maximilian Morningdew's Advice," a curious psychological study, by Julian Hawthorne ; "The Story of Coelio," a romantic incident in the life of a famous Spanish painter, by R. B. Davey ; and "The Puddle Party," by Lolly Dinks's Mother's a childlike fantasy, which Hans Andersen himself might have written. The more solid articles are a valuable paper ou "Ancient Pottery," by S. F. Corkran, for merly of the British Museum ; "On the East ern Shore of Virginia;' a pleasant sketch of American life and scenery, by Mary E. Brad ley, and "Cocas de Espana," an entertaining ac count of the difficulties of Spanish travel. The poems are, "Liverworts," by W. W. Bailey, a graceful little lyric, which is a real addition to floral poetry, and "Shameful Death," a remark able poem by the author of "The Earthly Par adise." Nor must we forget Bryant's "Green (illusiraied), and the editoral on "Potts' Rivers," which was evidently inspired by it, and is brimful of genial scholarship. Mr. Stoddard will have to exert himself to make another number as good as this. The state ment of the publishers that the edition is al ready within a fraction of 50,000 copies per month will be hailed as a vindication of Amer ican taste and appreciation. Such an unpar alleled success, in a publication utterly non sensational, is a recognition and endorsement of which the youthful publishers (the senior member of the firm has just turned thirty) may well be proud. We are glad that our neigh borhood is represented anung the patrons of The Aldine, and would urge the necessity of according the widest circulation to its elevat ing and refining influences. The subscription price, including a pretty oil-chromo premium, is ss—and the publishers' address is James Sutton & Co., 23 Liberty Street, New York. In The Phrenological Journal for April we find an abundance of that which is pleasant to read and good to remember. For instance sketch es and portrait of W. 11. Aspinwall, the emi nent merchant; Robert S. Candlish, D. D., successor of Dr. Chalmer's of Edinburgh ; the Engineers of the Mt. Cenis Tunnel ; beside ad mirable articles on Right and Wrong Views of Life; Respiration and its Appatatus; Inebriate Asylums; History of Phonography in America; Homes of Famous Americans; Rocky Mountain Scenery; "Stitch in Time," or the Alabama Question; Early English Education, &c.; finely illustrated. Price only 30 cents, or $3 a year. S. R. Wells, New York. The April Number of Harper's Magazine offers novel and unusual attractions. It con tains sixteen articles, coveringthe greatest vari ety of subjects, and ten of the sears illustrated, the Number altogether containing over seven ty-five engravings. Moncure D. Conway contributes a second paper on Munich, introducing the reader to the rich art-treasures of that city, and pro fusely illustrated. The leading engraving is an excellent portrait of Kaulbacit the artist. Under the title of "The Mountains," Porte Crayon commences a series of of sketches of Southern life, not less entertaining from their Numerous delineations than from the char acteristic illustrations, which are engraved from the author's own drawings. A second paper by Allan D. - Brown, on "Na• val Architecture, Past and Present," embel lished with seventeen illustrations, completes the history of ship-building from the begin ning of the present century. Rufus Home, in "The Story of Tammany" (illustrated), contributes a very timely and interesting paper, tracing the origin and de velopement of the Tammany Society, and its connection with the political history of the state and nations. It will be concluded in the May Number. The most remarkable paper in this Number is contributed by Edward llowland. Under the title of "The Social Palace at Guise," he gives a very minute and interesting account of NI. Godlin's Familistere—the most practi cal and successful attempt which has yet been made to effect a union between the in • terests of labor and those of capital. This paper shows that M. Godlin has solved the most important problem of the age. It is em bellished with eight illustrations. A. R. Mocdonough contributes a very enter taining orticle on "William Wilberforce," based on recently published memoirs. The article is accompanied by a striking portrait. In "Music, Emotion, and Morals," an ab stract is given of the principles laid down by 11. R. Hawels in the first Book of his work "Music and Morals"—a work which does for music very much the same thing which Bus kin's writings have accomplished for Paint ing. 7 .1 Good Investment, "by William J. Flagg, and Anthony Tro'lope's "The Golden Lion of Granpere"—both illustrated—are continued ; and three excllent short stories are con tributed by Mrs. Caroline A. Merighi, Miss Katharine G. Ware, and Miss Kate Putman Osgood. The Poetry of the number is contributed by Carl Spencer, Mrs. Annie Chambers Ketchum, and Mrs. Zadel B. Buddingtou. Mrs. Budding ton's poem "Little Martin Craigham,'illustra ted by Sol. Eytinge, Jun., in the most beauti ful and touching way, draws our attention to the fearful risks of life to which the cupidity of monoplists expose the eperators in coal mines. Pocket Dictionary.—We have received from the publishers, 138 and 140 Grand Street, a copy of Webster's Pocket Dictionary, which is a great improvement over all previous edi tions and all similar works. In the first place it is neatly printed, and hound in morocco, with gilt edges. Then it contains 200 pictori al illustrations, which give a much clearer idea of the meaning of many words than could possibly be conveyed by the usual definition. The little volume, while being no larger that an ordinary pocket-book, embraces in its vo cabulary a careful solection of over 18,000 of the most important words of the language, with definitions sufficiently clear, though nec cessarily brief, to meet the ordinary wants of any one requiring its use. Prefixed to the work are tables of money, weight and meas• urc, abbreviations, words and phrases from foreign languages, rules for spelling, explana tions, etc. It is in fact a most valuable little book, and is doubly worth the dollar it costs. The Publishers, Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., 138 and 140 Grand Street New York, will forward it by mail on receipt of One Dollar, or it can be bought at almost any book store. Scribner's For April.—A half dozen'illustra ted articles, an unusual number of short sto ries, several bright essays and sketches, two or three papers of special interest to scholars, and some excellent poems, make the April number of Scribner's not only popularly at tractive, but really valuable. The leading article, beautifully illustrated, is decriptive of the United States Navy Yard at Mare Island, California. "Curiosities of Plant Life" is an entertaining paper on Natural History, with a number of striking illustrations. Prof Schele de Vere writes sketchily, and with the aid of pictures, of the Earth's "Hidden Treasures ;" and Amos G. Draper, himself an inmate of the institution, describes "The Silent College at Washington." Apropos of Easter, we find graphic account, by Eugene Schuyler, of the Russian observance of the feast ; also a thoughtful and characteristic poem by Mrs. A. D. Whitney. "Awakened Japan" is the title of a brief and timely paper by Noah Brooks, a writer unusually well informed on Japanese matters. The three short stories are CakicUltattic cutl..alsi.. Mystery," by young Hawthorne; "With the False Prophet A Mormon Wife's story," by Mrs. Raffenberger ; and "The Flaunted Closet," by Mrs. Weiss. There is a suggestive and touching little paper on "The Boy John." Warner's Back. Log Studies—lV." are juicy and delicious as usual. These papers have attention, and constitue one of the most attrac tive features of the MONTHLY. "Shall we Say 'ls Being Built'" is a spirited and scholarly essay in the field of grammatical controversy, by Fitzedward Hall, of Oxford University ; and in au able and eloquent paper Dr. Taylor defends the belief in "The One Human Race," in:opposition to the theories of a race before Adam. Among the poems, Marguaret J. Pres ton's "Hero of the Commune" should not be overlooked. In the Editorial Departments Dr. Holland expresses some decided opinions on "A Heresy of Art," "Hepworth and heterodoxy," "The Illinois Temperance Law," and "The General and his Friends." In the "Old Cabinet" there is a talk about "The Smut of 'Real Work,' " "Our Friend's Portfolio," "Playing with the Passions," "Studies," and "The Sculptor and the Statuette." In the departments of "Home and Society," and "Culture and Progress Ahead" and "At Home" are papers on "The Art Museum," musical matters, and new books. The Etchings show how Peter Green emulated the Grand Duke's career in the Buffalo Hunt.

"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. H.; from In dionapois 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 you 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. Copies, and additional information, can be obtained by addressing, General Passenger Agent, B. & M. R. R. tf.

Crrisxxs of this county who, had been persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines, which seemed at first to work well on a tolerable range of work, have expressed to me their regrets that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma chine—the best in the world—had not been brought to their notice before purchasing. And judging from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the people of this county have lost more than $26,000 by failing to get, at the first, the !minim Howe Mackin, It is made on sound mechanical prin ciples avoids rickety cog-wheels,and is so con structed as to have perfect contro l by adjustment. and provision made to restore lost motion when it wears, thereby securing extraordinary and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now sts my traveling agents may not be able to visit every person in time, and as many inferior ma chines of different kinds are still being urged on the public, I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before you spend your time or money on any other ma chine, the safest plan is, either to write to me di rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Iliac Howe, machine, from Brown's Carpet Store, Hun tingdon, Ps., and take no agents word for it, that the machine is genuine, unless it has the medal lion at the head of this article, imbedded in the bed plate of every machine.
