A merchant recently bad a pound of sugar

There are a few men in every community—
to use the language of another—who never do
anything to assist the public improvement in
the way of building up their town. They al
ways protests that such improvements do not
profit them a solitary nickel. We notice,
however, that every time a town secures a
public improvement of any importance, these
same men, if they have any real estate or
bu lding to rent, put up the price. A town
wholly composed of such individuals, would
be about as lively as a grave-yard.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.—The following
cases on the Session Docket were tried and
disposed cf:
Commonwealth vs. Win. Lynch.
The defendant in this action was indicted
for assault and battery upon Elizabeth Trim
bath, near Dudley, on last Christmas, by
striking her on the back with his fist, during
a row which was then in progress between
some boys, including the defendant, and while
the prosecutor was endeavoring to make peace
between the combatants. Verdict not guilty
and the costs equally divided between the
parties. The prosecuting attorney was assist
ed by Mr. Brown, and the defense was con
ducted by Mr. Woods.
Commonwealth vs.Wni. Deiffonbach, JOseph
Turley, John Canty, Emanuel Eckert, 1V m•
Lynch and Daniel Lynch.
This was an indictment for assult and bat
tery and a part of the same transaction. The
indictment included also three others not
taken. The aliegation of the commonwealth
was, that on last Christmas, the prosecutor,
Hiram Wilkins, in company with his brother,
wife an,: sister in-law, were passing along the
road, near Dudley, and they were insulted by
the defendants, who applied to them certain
approhrious epithets, and finally assaulted and
bested them, after taking refuge in the house
of a neighbor. Verdict guilty, as to Deiffea
bath, Turley, Eckert, and Wm. Lynch, and
not guilty as to Daniel Lynch and C:.nty.
Brown for commonwealth, Woods and Cald
well for defendants.
Commonwealth vs. Thos. C. Ash.
Fornication and bastardy. Defendant plead
guilty and submitted. Usual order.
Commonwealth vs. Wm. Hatfield.
Indictment malicious mischief. Defendant
plead guilty and submitted. The offense was
committed on the 18th of January last, at the
store of S. E. Henry & Co., where the defen
dant, while in a state of intoxication, behaved
in a very unbecoming and abusive manner,
and wound up by breaking in one of the win
dows. Sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and
costs, and undergo an imprisonment' in the
county jail, of 10 days, and also to enter into
recognizance in the sum of $5OO to keep the
peace towards all good citizens, and especially
toward Samuel E. Henry and Solomon Isen-
berg, for one year.
Conuaonwealth Vs. Piper Grace, Jacob Grace
and Blair Grace.
The defendants in this action—father and
twa sons—were indicted for killing certain
hogs, the property of Daniel Helsel, in Hope
well twp., where the parties reside. The in
dictment was proved under the act assembly
which makes it a misdemeanor, wilfully and
maliciously, to kill domestic animals. The
difficulty was occasioned by unruly hogs on
one side and bad fences on the other; and it
was proven that undue violence and wanton
cruelty had been exercised by the defendants
in getting rid of the animals, which had rot
only been a source of annoyance to them, but
had actually destroyed a great portion of the
summer crop. A verdict of guilty was ren
dered, and the parties were sentenced, the
father to pay a fine of $2O. and the sons each
a fine of $l, and costs, and undergo an im
prisonment, each, in the county jail, for the
term of one day. Speer for rrosecutor and'
Pctrekin for defendants.
Commonwealth vs. J. G. Walker.
Indictment, assault and battery. The de
fendant was engaged in teaching school, in
Jackson twp., last winter, and the prosecutor,
Thomas Jackson, was a pupil. The allegation
of the plaintiff was, that undue severity had
been exercised towards him, it forcibly pre
venting him from leaving the school room
after school hours, where he had been detain
ed as a punishment for disobedience. Ver
dict, not guilty, and the prosecutor to pay the
costs. Petrekin and Massey for prosecutor,
and Speer for defendant.
Commonwealth vs. Robert Wilson.-
Indictment, assault and battery. Verdict,
guilty, but acquitted on the ground of insani
ty, and the usual order made by the court.

and somewhat venerable colored gentleman
of this place, who was arraigned, before a
jury cf his peers, for smashing in the door
and window of a shanty in the back street,
occupied by Ellen Edwards the prosecute. ,
also a lady of color. The evidence was some
what damaging to the character of Edward,
and resulted in a conviction, although his
version of the affair was quite different, and
Placed the blame on other parties not named
in the indictment. Edward was fined $5 and
costs, and sentenced to undero an imprison
ment of 10 days.
Commonwealth vs. Edward Warren.

of fees accruing in the issuing of a number
of writs against the defendants, amounting to
$128,08. A special verdict was rendered for

only question to be decided by the jury was
the amount of damages. Verdict for plaintiffs
for $294.13. Simpson and Calvin for plaintiffs.
Speer and Petiikin for defendants.
WILLIAMSBURG Tll HAVE A RAIL ROAD.
—This place has long been sweltering under
the disadvantage of having no rail road com
munication with the other part of the world,
but of. late their most sauguice expectations
are being realized and in consequence, the
good citizens are all astir and prospective im
provements are running the prices of proper
ty up quite encouragingly.
The starting point of the road is to be Hol
lidaysburg ; from thence, down the Juniata to
Williamsburg, and from there, about two
miles South West to Springfield Furnauce.
This will be quite an affair for the Williams
burgers and surroundings and no doubt will
give an impetus to enterprise that will tell fa
vorably on the place and business generally,
but for the pleasure ofseeiug the "Iron Horse,' ,
they are to pay the s,tig little sum of $35,-
000 as a bonus. This looks a little extrava
gant, but the saying runs ; . .',,511 is well that
ends well.' They claim for their place, some
considerable advantages, among the most con
spicuous is water power, which cannot be sur
passed perhaps, in the State.—Cove Echo.
A SCAMP.—On Wednesday lost, a man
giving the name of James Rice, presented an
order for $34.50, purporting to be signed by
Mr. Frank Ileflight, at the store of Mr. Oliver
Cunningham, for which he procured a suit of
clothes. The appearance of the order was
suspicious, and upon inquiry it was found to
be a forgery. Rice was arrested, and after strip
ping him of his fine clothes, was allowed to
go his way.
DESTRUCTION OE TUE STONERSTOWN
TRESTLE.-On last Wednesday, about half-past
three o'clock, in the afternoon, a whirlwind
struck the Stonerstown trestle, a few yards
below where it spanned the township road
leading directly into Stouerstown, and wrench
ed a span of it from its foundation and flung
it about as so mary splinters. Then the whole
work, bench after bench began to fall remind
ing one of the fall of a row of bricks.
We repaired to the scene of disaster on
Thursday morning, in company with 11. G.
Fisher, J. S. Cornman, editor of the Monitor
and Mr. Keefer, the Geneaal Agent of the
road. The train was halted a short distance
beyond Sugar Camp trestle and the passengers
directed to proceed, by the township road, to
the river where arrangements had bees made
to ferry them over. We proceeded directly to
the brid,ge, which is still standing, and walked
out to the end of it and contemplated the ter
rible wreck. 1300 feet of trestle—over a quar
ter of a mile—lay shattered and splintered and
tangled eighty-seven feet below us. It was
the most fearful ruin we ever beheld. No one
could imagine, without some °miler demon
stration, that such vast quantities of timber
arc necessary to construct works of this kind.
By actual calculation the amount was found
to be very little, if any, short of two millions
of feet. Great trees, sound to the core, were
shivered and splintered into mere fragments.
The greater part of the timbers was new and
had the trestle not been struck by a tornado
would have lasted for years.
The company has resolved not to rebuild
it. A heavy force of men was immediately
employed to erect a temporary track, by
means of a switch back, to the river, thence
acress it by a temporary trestle and thence
forward, about a mile and-a-half, to Sugar
Camp trest:e, where it will connect with the
present track. One of the routes heretofore
surveyed will no doubt be adopted. and du
ring the summer it will be graded and the
high bridge and trestle avoided altogether.
The company expects to have the road open
again in the course of ten or fifteen days.
Freight is transferred. at present, from the
North to the South side and return by wag-
We had intended giving an extended ac
count of our visit but owing to the crowded
state of our columns, we have been com
pelled to "cut it short."
AGRICULVRAL MEETINa—The HUD
tingdon County Agricultural Society met,
pursuent to previous notice, in the Court
House, on Wednesday evening of lnst week.
The following Committee of Arrangements
for the present year, was announced by the
chair:
John Flenner, Huntingdon; John S. Warfel,
Henderson ; James Port, Huntingdon ; J. Simp
son Africa. Huntingdon ; J. A. White, Porter.
On motion of John S. Miller, Resolved,
That the premiums for mule and horse race
during the last fair, be paid by the society.
Mr. Womelsdorf, for the Committee on pre
miums, made a verbal report, which was ac
cepted.
The following resolution was offered by
John S. Miller and adopted :
Whereas, the Fair Ground belonging to this
society is last fading into a state of dilapida
Lion and decay for want of proper care and at
tendon. It is, tlurefore, resolved that the of
ficers of this society be and they are hereby
authorized to leave thcesame to sonic proper
person who will care for said grounds and
keep them in good order, relerviug the right
to this society to enter upon the same at any
time for the purpose of holding Fairs thereon,
and for the purpose of making improvements
when needful, or desirable. The said leer to
put the track in good order and keep it so,
for the use of the society, at his own expense.
John Dougherty Esq., read the following
article on seeding grapes which was on mo
lion, ordered to be printed with the minutes:
“Ile at first picks up with great care and
discrimination some grapes perfectly ripe, of
that kind which he wishes to introduce into
his vineyard, and keeps in a dry place. When
in the spring, by making a small cut in the
vine it bleeds, and the sap oozes: out the
makes a small hole in the main stock with a
gimlet, An_l___lntrotbtces seed ofAbe
grapes preserved. This is what is called
"sowing." This seed—which has been kepL
alive for months by the moisture contained in
tlic• berry—being immersed in a liquid homo
genous and conatural, now germinates, and
the sap hardened by the contact of the air, en
velopes the small root of the little new plant,
which indentifies itself with the main stock,
and grows up .with the other branches.
Menwhile the mother vine continues to bear
fruit. After the lapse of two years the new
offspring is pruned: The third year it bears
grapes. Then the old vine is cut above the
sew plant, and thus the change or'renovation
is perfectly operated."

DEFENDANTS TO TESTIFY IN THEIR
OWN BEHALF.—The act which enables defend
ants in certain criminal case to testify in their
own behalf has been signed by the governor.
It provides that. in the trial of all indictments,
complaints and other proceedings against per
sons charged with commission of crimes of of
fenses not above the grade of misdemeanor, in
any court of record, of criminal jurisdiction,
the person so charged shall at his own request,
but not otherwise, be deemed a competent
witness, but his neglect or refusal to testify
shall not create any presumption against him ,
nor shall any comment be made upon, such
neglect or refusal by counsel during the trial
of-the case; provided that this act shall not
extend to the trial of any person for an indict
meat for perjury or forgery.
BRIDGE BURNED.—On Saturday fore
noon last, the kridge that spanned Stone
Creek, at the eastern end of this borough,
was totally destroyed by fire. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from a spark from a
passing locomotive. The destruction of this
bridge will be severely felt by the citizens of
Henderson township, and the traveling public
generally.
WnrrAT A MAN CAN I)o.—A gentle
man assures us that he labored , 287 days
travelled over 4000 miles and attended church
and sabbath school 47 sundays during last
year.
THREE SPRINGS, April 19, 1872.
Mn. EDITOR.-From :Shade' dap to IdTon
nellsburg, thence to this place, via Fort Lit
tleton was my route, and with one exceptign
nothing worth relating occurred; that of a
man found dead a weak or more ago on the
State road. The story was told me this way:
A well-known citizen of that vacinity left
home to visit some relations ; the next day
he was found dead; near him, or on his per
son was found a bottle, nearly empty, eon
. taining hydrate of chloral used in cases of
delirum-tremens, and to steady the
nerves, a deadly poison, when use in large
quantities I believe. It is the opinion of the
doctors that he was intoxicated, and had ta
ken a large dose of this medicine, which com
bined with the liquor he had taken, produced
apoplexy, from which he died. Another name :
to the long. list of persons dead from—what?
The damnable use of intoxicating drinks; li
censed too, by the higher authorities, but
thank fortune one year more will tell another
tale as to the granting thesepersons authority
to sell this stuff.
One comes in, as it were, at the postern
door to this town, and has only been prepared
for the beautiful ville be is about to see by
the beauty, a:.d picturesque scenery of the
surrounding country. But, once there, he
finds a veritable summer resort in an eleva
ted, high caste community, a city, evidently,
laid out and a very agreeable climate. Hardly
the famous Mineral Springs a little further on.
will tempt him beyond the precincts of Mr.
Hudson's well-kept hotel. Be will End the
people hospita. and inviting. Educationally
it is one of the formost in the comity, it has
also churches, stores, shops, mills, &c.
Public antes and auctions seem to be the
order of the day. This is the place to learn
human nature one of the very best, opportu
nities ; you will find upon looking around and
observing people, that the ludiercus bide of
one's nature predominates on this occasion.
On every side are merry countenances, and
the occasion is so free from all restraint that
even a stranger can hugely enjoy himself. At
sales in this vicinity, Which it has been the
writers pleasure to visit, th:: following some
what high prices were paid Wheat, $1.71 ;
Rye, $1.64 ; Oats. 55; Potatoes, $1.08; Hay,
$15,50 per ton. These arc the highest prices
have known to be paid this season. Hastily.
Aaors.
EthronJo eI:NA L.-Dear Sir:—The small-pox
has broken out in the family of Mr. Floss, at
the lower hotel, in this borough. They re
cently removed from Baltimore to this place,
and, it is believed, brought the loathsome
disease with them. They have the sympathy
of the entire community in their distress.
The Doctor; pronounce it the gmaine article.
It is hoped, by proper management, the dis
ease will be stayed in is ravages.
Oar townsman, Mr. D. M. Giles, had, re
cently, a large tumor remnved froth his shoal
der, of sixteen year's growth. The operation'
was performed by George Orlady, M. D., late
graduate of Jefferson Medical College, Phila
delphia. The patient convalescent. Dr.
George promises to become an ornament to
his profession.
YOur editorial in reference to the foithcom
Comity Superintendent, is opportune and
judicious. We unhesitatingly indorse the
sentiment: "Let none but men fully qualified
be placed in the office." The incumbent
should be inte:ligent, impartial, moral,
thoroughly conversant with the workings of
the common school system, know something
about parliamentary usages, and be able-to
express his ideas before a public assembly.
