Carpet shaking is at band. Here is a bit of
advice which it will be well for housekeepers
to heed. When a carpet is taken up to be
cleaned, the floor beneath is generally covered
with dust. This dust is very fine and dry and
poisonous to the lungs. Before removing it
sprinkle the floor with diluted carbolic acid,
to kill any poisonous germs that may be
present, and to thoroughly disinfect the floor
and make it sweet.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOROUGH COUN
co..—Special Meeting, April 19th, 1872.
Present : Chief Burgess —Mr. Africa ; Asst.
Burgesses—Messrs. Murray and Boring.
Council—Messrs. Burchinell, Buchanan, Henry
and Shaffer.
The Chief Burgess stated that he had called this
meeting for the purpose of receiving the report of
the committee on Fire Engine.
The committee on Fire Engine reported that they
had examined the Southwark Steam Fire Engine
proposed to be sold to the borough, and witnessed
a trial of its power. It was placed at the Dela
ware river in the city of Philadelphia. and fifteen
minutes after fire was applied, it began to throw
water through 1.50 feet of hose with It inch noz
zle over an elevation of forty feet to a distance of
three hundred feet. Through each of two lines of
hose with one inch nozzles, it throwed water to the
height of eighty feet. The water was drawn from
the Delaware through twelve feet of suction hose.
Tho engine weighs, when filled with wood and
water with Fireman and Driver on, about four
tons ; it is second hand but every thing is in good
condition. The price is $25011.00, one third or one
fourth cash and the balance in three payments to
be made within eighteen months with interest.
On motion the report was received and ordered
to he filed.
On motion, the further consideration of the
report was postponed until GI o'clock r. m. on the I
224 inst.
On motion, a committee consisting of Messrs.
'lonry, Burchinet and Buchanan, to which the
Chief Burgess was subsequently added, was ap
pointed to consult with the officers of the Penn. it.
R. Co., relative to the erection of water works.
The Secretary read a draft of an agreement be
tween the Borough and the liuntingdon Presbyte
rian Congregation relative to placing the Town
Clock in the tower of the church, now in progress
of construction at the corner of sth and Mifflin
Streets. which had been prepared in accordance
with a resolution adopted on the 4th day of March
last.
On motion the agreement was approved and the
Chief Burgers authorized to sign the same on be—
half of the borough and cause it to be attested
with the corporate seal.
On motion adjourned until O o'clock P. M., on
the 22d inst.

SPOT HIM —The Cleveland papers warn
the public against an impostor who is travel
ing about the country representing himself as
a "secret service detective." He calls him
self Joseph Walker, claims Bethlehem, in this
State, as his place of residence. His modus
operandi is to approach his victim with a
cock•and-boll story that he is an officer in
the United States secret service, and by order
of the Secretary of the Treasury be will on
beginning of the next fiscal year assume the
possition of chief of the secret service depart
ment in place of the present incumbent, Col
onel Whiteley. He carries with him either
forged or genuine letters of reference from
Gov. Geary, Senator Cameron and other prom
inet personages. On the strength of his affir
mation he extorts money from parties, to
whom lie promises situations as assistants
after he shall have assumed general charge,
assigning to one person the supervision over
one State, and to another control of another
State. He travels on free passes, which he
obtains by representing himself to be so high
an officer in the service. It is said also, that
he is in the habit of putting up at first class
hotels and leaving without troubling himself
to pay his bill. The paper from which we
obtain these facts says if it is not mistaken
there is now au indictment against him in the
Indiana courts for burglary. Pass him round;
it is bad enough to have the people robbed by
persons actually in the employ of the govern
ment, without having them swindled by im
postors.

TLIE LEWISBURG, CENTRE & SPRUCE
CREEK RAILROAD.-To be Let at Once.—We
know that our l'ennsvalley friends will be
gratified to learn that their railroad is to be
put through at once. At the meeting of the
board of directors in Philadelphia last week,
a resolution adopting the ordinary gauge and
authorizing the letting of the road from Mif
fliuburg to the forks of Penns Creek, and also
from Pennsylvania Furnace to Tyrone, was
adopted. The location of the road from Lin
den Hall to Pennsylvania Furnace, was not
decided, but we understand will be fixed in a
few days, when it will at once he put under
contract.
The speedy completion of the branch from
this place to the end of the mountain, depends
almost entirely upon the action of the Snow
Shoe Company. If it does as agreed to last
fall—if it makes its subscription of $O,OOO
and acts in accordance with the resolution
passed at the last meeting of the board of di
rectors, we may expect this part of the enter
prise to be completed before this time next
year.
Whether or not Mr. Kurtz will go on with
his "narrow gauge" road we are unable to
say. The board of directors of the L. C. &
S. C. road, having thrown his advice aside,
and determined to build such a road as the
people of Pennsvalley and the interests cf the
county demand, the public need not be sur
prised to find the editor of the Reporter going
it solitary and alone on a narrow gauge track
of his own construction.—Belkfonte TVatch-

THE WASHINGTON HOTEL—While
attending Coart, at Bedford, last week, we
stopped at the Washington Hotel, kept by S.
S. Bowden, Esq., formerly of Hagerstown,
Maryland. Mr. Bowden has entirely refurn
ished the house so that the beds, bedding ,
furniture and carpeting arc entirely new, and
consequently everything wears a bright and
cheerful aspect and you feel perfectly at home.
rlie table gave great satisfaction. We were
glad to see that his efforts and those of the
family were fully appreciated and that the
house will continue to receive its usual large
run of custom.
WHO WAS DOLLY VARDEN?—The cor_
rcct thing from which to make up lovely
spring dresses for ladies is a gorgeous mate
rial—all bright blossoms and maizy inter
twining stems—known as 'Dolly Varden."
Whence this singulir appellation for dress
goods naturally queries the fair sex? The
new name in dry goods is that of one of
Charles Dickens heroines. Dolly Varden is
one of the female characters in Barnaby
nudge; is fie daughter of Gabriel Varden a
blacksmith ;is sought in marriage by Sim
Tappertit, a vain London apprentice, and Joe
Willett, a very exemplary young gentlemen
indeed. Miss Dolly becomes Mrs. Willett.
She is described by Dickens as possessing a
face lighted up by the loveliest pair of spar
ling eyes that ever lock Smith looked upon;
the face of a pretty laughing girl; dimpled
and fresh, and healthful—the very impersona
tion of good humor and blooming beauty.
THE largest and best stock of Harmonicas
is at C. M. Africa's, germaa silver plated, only
$2,00.
WATER WORKS.—Every few days we
have an alarm of fire, but fortunately, up to
this time, we have escaped any serious con
fiagration, but every alarm brings us nearer
to a more disastrous result. It is time that
our enterprising council is procuring a steam
er, but what will a steamer amount to without
water? We urge upon our council to take
immediate steps to supply the town with good
and wholesome water. We are informed that
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company
desire water to supply the new depot about
to be erected, and that the company will lib
erally aesist the council in an effort to make
this much needed improvement. Now is the
time to strike. We advise immediate action.
Let tbs . ; project be put under way at. once.
JUST received at C. M. Africa'., No. 420, a
new stock of Oranges, Lemons, Raisins, Figs,
Apples, Cocoa-nuts and Pean,its.
ALMOST A FIRE.—On Tuesday night
of last week the Globe printing office made a
narrow escape from being destroyed by fire.
The second-story of the building, we believe,
is used as a kind of receptacle for rubish, and
among this debris the fire originated, but how,
is a mystery, as we learn there was so fire
about the premises for several hours previous
to the alarm. Fortunately the fire occurred
about half past 9 o'clock, when the streets
were full of promenaders, and was seen he
fore it had time to make much progress. No
damage was done to the building, not even
by water, as there were not enough buckets
on the ground to fill the engines.
THE finest stock of Gold, Silver Plated and
French Horn Jewelry, in town is at C. H.
Africa's, No. 420.
JUMPING ROPE.—We find the little
girls are at their sport in this late again, as
the weather becomes fit to be out doors.
While jumping rope may be, in moderation,
fair exercise, yet some of the most pernicious
results follow its excessive use. Nut unfre
quently we notice death caused by children
jumping in contests with each other. They
get excited and go on until exhausted or in
jured so that if not fatal, at least very in
jurious consequences follow. Parents should
be on the lookout and not allow their daugh
ters indulge to too great an extent in this
pastime.
THE largest and best selected stock of Pock
et Books, Ladies' and Gents Satchels, is at
No. 420, one door west of postoffice.
THE Directors of the Juniata Valley
Camp Meeting Association, at their meeting
held in Huntingdon, on the 23d ult.. agreed

CASTORIA.—A substitute for Castor
Oil—a vegetable preparation contaicingneith
er Minerals, Morphine uor Alcohol. It is pleas
ant to take, does not nauseate. and operates
when all other remedies failed. Dr. Pitcher
has experimented fifteen years in producing a
preparation more efficient than Castor Oil,
without its horrid taste. The Castoria regu
lates the system ; cures conception, stomach
ache, croup and flatulency, and kills worms.
It does not distress or gripe. By its quieting,
soothing effect it produces natural sleep, and
is particularly adapted to crying and teething
children.
We desire Physicians to test this article,
and will forward three bottles GRATIS to the
address of any one so authenticated. Insist
that your druggist order it for you. It costs
but 50 cents, and one bottle will save many
doctor bills. J. B. ROSE & CO., Broadway,

Wu call attention to the advertisements
of A. B. Kennedy & Co. These gentlemen
mean business and they know how to do it.
THE THEORY OF ADVERTISING.—The
object in advertising is to inform the people.
This is done orally or by means of written or
printed matter. Printed matter is admitted
by all to be the cheapest mode. The printed
matter is either by circular or by means of
journals published at stated periods. Circulars
are printed at so much per hundred or thous
and. Each individual procuring as many as
he thinks will reach the eyes of those whom
be desires to inform. He pays for his circu
lars in proportion to the number he gets
printed. Newspapers accomplish the same
purpose and consequently should charge in
proportion to the number of papers circulated.
No one will controvert this unless he is as
stupid as a Courty Commissioner. But the
JOURNAL with twice the circulation of the
Globe charges no more than the Globe. If you
want to reach hundreds advertise in the Globe;
if you want to reach THOUSANDS advertise in
the JOURN 4L. tf.

establishment on the North-east corner of Hill
and Fifth streets. SIT" manufactures bonnets

If you want to reach the shopkeepers, me

ber of subscribers in Huntingdon, Shirleys
burg, Mt. Union, Mapleton, Cassville, Alexan
dria, Warriorsmark, &c., &c., than any other
paper in the county. tf
THE Globe endeavors to insult a large
number of the subscribers of the JOURNAL by
alleging that the JOURNAL has been forced
upon them and therefore they do not read it.
This is an insult alike to the intelligence and
self respect of the people of Huntingdon coun
ty, and will be resented, as the Globe will find
to its cost. tf.
No MORE GRAY HAIR.-Nature's Hair Restor
ative brings back the original color. It is not
a dye, and clear as crystal. Contains nothing
injurious. See advertisement. [myl-2t.
THERE are not above one hundre,: subscri
bers of the Globe, in Huntingdon county, that
are not reached by the JOURNAL or Monitor.—
The advertiser who patronizes the Globe and
Monitor, and not the JOURNAL, does so to reach
thousands of readers less than he would reach
if he advertised in the JOURNAL and Monitor. tf
FROM THE "LO WEE END."—Diar Jour
nal.—Rejoice with us, for Spring has come at
last; the Cherry trees are in full bloom. The
clarion notes of the whippoorwill are heard at
nightfall, the industrious Bedbug pursues his
nightly researches, cheered by the sweet mu
sic of the sonorous Bull-frog. Yes, Spring has
come, and the house flies have taken posses
sion of the butter dish, and spring-fever pa
tients are lying around loose, scarcely pos
sessing energy enough to whiskoff the horde of
gnats that have gathered around them wait
ing for abi e. There is some talk of raising
a Lazy Mans' Cub here ; judging from the
amount of dead-beats about here we believe
the project will prove a sucnss.
A cowardly outrage was perpetrated on a
poor widow, Mary A. Wall, residing a short
distance out of town ; while absent from hei•
home engaged in doing house-cleaning for
some of the neighbors, a bevy of outlaws,
composed of two men and one woman, repair
ed to the-widow's log residence, and demol
ished the greater part of her house ; the roof
was torn off end tie logs torn off down to the
first story, some of them falling inside and
crushing what little household goods she pos
sessed. Mrs. Wall repaired to a Justice of
the Peace, but that Legal Functionary would
have nothing to do with it, and the guilty
parties have gone unpunished thus far; the
widow with her children have taken up tem

Politicians arc becoming rampant, and every
man I meet is a Candidate for something or
other; the fact of the matter is this, if four
fifths of all the arguments that we hear upan
the street corners were boiled down to one

when the ball gets to rolling fairly we expect
to light up our wigwam, and hear the issues
of the day discussed by the big guns, whose
tongues hang balanced in the middle of their

PRESBYTERIAN COLONY IN MINNESOTA.
—Ehnoß JOJIINAL.-As some people of Hun
tingdon county have decided to join this Col
ony, and as others may want to benefit them
selves in this way too, will you permit the
writer through your excellent paper to state a
few facts concerning it. Rev. R. S. Wilson,
of Owatonna, Minn. (in company with others,)
has been exploring the country to get a suit
able location for this Colony and they have
found in Lyon county, Minn., in the southern
part of the State, a region of country, be,
W. S. Wilson, says "unsurpassed fur fertility
of soil, or capacity of cultivation, suited al
most equally well for the culture of any kind
of grain or grass, and he confidently believes
there cannot be found locations more desira
ble and presenting greater advantages for
permanent homes than are to be found here."
The W. &. St. Peter Railroad is now being
made right through this country, and by Aug
ust or September it will be completed to the
Colony, and will bring lumber or anything
the Colonists may need, at half rates. This
W. & St. Peter Railroac is going to become
one of the most important branches of the
Northern Pacific road. The country is not
broken, but sufficiently diversified for either
grain or grass growing. Rev. Wilson says,
he was told by many persons that from two
to four tons of hay per acre are cut from the
natural meadow, and this is the very best
quality of hay.
Every family joining this Colony will get
eighty acres of this land, and as much moreas
they may want at from three to five dollars
per acre and have from three to five years in
which to pay lb:. it. They expect about one
hundred families in this Colony during the
coming summer. We would say to any more
that may feel I;ke joining this enterprise to
arrange so as to go along with the company
about the middle of May. If they are not
prepared to take their families now, they had
better go to see it, and by starting at that
time they will be taken over the Northwest
ern roads at half rates. It.

LITERARY NOTICES.— The illdine for
May has just arrived, giving further proof of the
wonderful progressive power of its conductors,
both in the art and literary departments. It is,
indeed, a triumph for America that its youthful
civilization has given to the art worli a publica
tion so unique in conception and so excellent in its
development as The Aldine. At the dinner recent
ly given by the publishers to the artists and lit
erati of the country, Prof. Cattell President of
Lafayette College, spoke as follows: "The success
of The Aldine, like the growing power and infiu
once of the great colleges, is one of the most hope
tl.l signs fur _the future of nor °gauntry Til.cry
American is proud to know that we have now great
schools both for liberal culture and science equal
to those abroad where the past generation were
compelled to send their sons ; and with equal pride
we point to such publications as The Aldine, in
which the schollarship, and the elegant and varied
:culture of our age is presented in a style of typo
graphy equal to that of the oldest and best pub
lishing houses in the world. Reference had been
made to the great excellence of its engravings.
This feature of the magazine had impressed the
speaker equally with the elevating and instructive
character of its reading matter. Our busy, prac
tical people used such as education towards the
appreciation of the beautiful. The Aldine has
entered upon a mission field, where the prospects
were not very encouraginz, and it is certainly a
great triumph of its able and enterprising pub
lishers that they have already won for it such a
success. From the start they made large claims
for it, and the subscription list shows that the
public response was quickly 'set up' in the em
phatic style known as 'double caps.' And the
increasing circulation of The Aldine is something
not only for the publishers to be cheerful about ;
it shows that, after all, there is somewhere among
our people an appreciation of what is first-elms in
art as well as in literature. Let no cultivate this
and it will bear abundant and goodly fruit. With
the accession to the management of The Aldine of
our learned and accomplishing friend, honored in
all the republic of letters, the increased circulation
of the magazine and its large efficiency in promo
ting a love for 'the true and beautiful' is not so
much a proficiency as the statement of an accom•
fished fact." Of course the necessity of according a
proper support and encouragement for such an
enterprise as well as the advantages of possession,
will be impressed upon all thoughtful people and
we will with pleasure forward any subscriptions
handed in at this office to the publishers James

ScrunNan's 1 , 011 M AY.—"Traveling by Telegraph:
Northward to Niagara," is the title of the leading
article in Scribner's for May. It begins a descrip
tion of the route from Washington to Niagara
over the still unfinished Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad and the well known Northern Central. A
most interesting region was traversed by Mr.
James Richardson. the author of the paper, and
the artists of Seribner's (including the line of the
Pennsylvania Central from Philadelphia to liar
risburgh), a part of the results of the trip are be
fore us in one of the most brilliantly illustrated and
entertaining magazine articles of the day. Some
of the cuts are wonderful both in drawing and en
graving ; and their effect is heightened by good
paper and good printing. Following this is a
bright little illustr led story by Mrs. IValker,
.Fanny Winthrop's Treat." Mr. John 11. Tread
well describes •'%osa Fictitian in History," with
the aid of exquisite wood-cuts, including a por
trait of the vase given to General Dix by Napo
leon 111. ; and Professor Wells has a pictorial on
the queer little Democratic Swiss Canton of Ap
pcnzell. The new novelett, entitled "Draxy Mil
ler's Dowry," by Saxe Holm, author of "Esther
Wynn's Love-Letters," is begun in this number,
and gives promise of extraordinary interest. Mrs.
Oliphant's "At Ilis Gates" is continued, and proves
to be a really masterly story ; it certainly deserves
wider attention. Noah Brooks. author of "The
Cruise of the Balboa," comes out with a beautiful
and pathetic story, "The Waif of Nautilus Island."
Warner's "Black-Log Studies" arc as juicy and
delicious as ever, with a little more serious thought
this time. His picture of the singing reformers is
a delightful bit of IVarnerism. For solid articles
we have suggestive paper on "Our Educational
Outlook," in which compulsory education is advo
cated. and a paper on Mr. Lowell's Prose, in which
Mr. Wilkinson is as courteous as he is cutting. In
a little article on "Frederic Mistral, the Proven
cal Poet," we find a translation of the song Ma
gali, by lie, Charles T. Brooks, which is one of
the most charming pieces of versification we have
ever met with. Saxe hobo's story contains two
retnarkablc poems ; there is a ringing lyric, "The
Railway Ride," by Thomas Dunn English, in the
railroad article ; and there are verses by Rev. Geo.
Lensing Taylor, Sara 11. Brown, and Amelia E.
Daley. In "Topics of the Time," Dr. Holland dis
cusses "The Conservative Resources of American'
Life," "Esthetics at a Premium," "Rum and Rail
roads." In "The Old Cabinet" are "New Names,"
•'Stories without Paint." "Concerning a Pestilent
Evil," Macllonaltl's "Within and Without," and
"Tragic." This number begins a new volume, and
among the improvements which should be noted
arc a new Department entitled “Nature and Sci
ence," which opens well with a pregnant summary
of practical science ; enlargement of “Home and
Society"' and the consolidatiop of "Culture and
Progress" notes under one head. The Etchings
tell the story of an Absent-Minded Man.

not.—Advertising alone does not produce sue
cess. The thing which is advertised must
have intrinsic merit, or else large advertising
will eventually do it more harm than good. If
you have anything which you know to be
good, advertise it thoroughly, and you will be
sure to succeed ; if it is poor, don't praise it,
for people will soon discover you are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON ROUTE,
which runs to three great regions in the West :
Ist, To Omaha, connecting with the great Pa
cific Roads. 2d, To Lincoln,the capital of Ne
braska, Platte, filled with R. It. lands and home
steads.
.3d, To St. Joseph, Kansas City and all
Kansas points.
, The roads are splendidly built, have the
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform
and coupler, and the safety air brake (to pre
vent the loss of life that is every where else
happening) ; Pullman's sleepers, Pullman din
ing cars, large and powerful engines (to make
quick time and good connections), and are in
a word the best equipped roads in the West.
So that if you desire to go safely, surely,
q .ickly and comfortably to any point in
Southern lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, or on the
Pacific Roads, be sure that you go "By Way of
Burlington."

large map, showing correctly the Great West,
and all its railroad connections, can obtain
them, and any other knowledge, by addressing

Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, made
of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please
the taste, called "Tonics," "Appetizers," "'Restor

and ruin, but are a trait Medieine, made from the
native roots and herbs of California, free from all
Alcoholic Stimulents. They are the Great Blood
Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect
Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carry
ing off all poisonous matter and restoring the
blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refresh
ing and invigorating both mind and body. They
are easy of administration, prompt in their action,
certain in their results, safe and reliable in all
forms of disease.
No Person coo take their Bitter. according to
directions, and remain long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other
means, aad the vital organs wasted beyond the
point of repair.
.Dyspeperia or ludgestion. Headache, Pain in the

Taste in the Mouth, Billions Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflamation of the Lungs, Pain in
the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other
painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Depepsia.
In these complaints it has no equal,
i and one bot

a lengthy advertisement.
Fo; Female Complaints, in young or old, mar
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided
an influence that a marked improvement is soon
perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rlaermatimn and
Goat, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers. Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters
have been most successful. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally pro
duced by derangement of the Digestive Organs.

Medicine, no vermifuge, no anthelminities, will
free the system from worms like these Bitters.

purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at
the same time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy func
