he may make it pay, lint how it is to be done

SIDE TRACK ON ALLEGHENY STREET.
—DEAR Jormisr. It seems the fate of progress
to always meet with opposition. It was so
eighteen hundred years since, and it is so to
day. And nowhere is this lurking opposition
more prevalent and bold than in this, our lit
tle town of Huntingdon. Fenced in by the
elements by which other towns have grown
rich and spread their borders, yet cramped
and ground by the actions of a few who live
for to-day, and for themselves only, we are liv
ing, as it were, by the produce of others.
Scarcely a manufactory within our limas,
where we should be awakened at early dawn
by numerous whistles in all quarters from
manufactories, especially in the way of iron
and lumber.
We had been led to believe that there bad
"a change come o'er the spirit of our dream,"
since the juvakile adventure of Town Clock
and Fire Engine, but now comes the opposi
tion to the ra hood in the •petty matter of a
side track on Allegheny street. It is well
known that the growing business of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, through the control of the
Bedford Division, calls loudly for more room
at the junction, and it is also known that for
some time there has been under consideration
by the railway officials the project of aban
doning Huntingdon, as a point of business,
and locating somewhere east, entirely beyond
the limits of the town ; and should the lease
of the Broad Top be accomplished, and the
prevailing opposition still continue, we may
tremble lest we be left in the cold. We unite
in opposition_to all unnecessary infringement,
and believe the Railroad Company should be
looked after occasionally, as, like individuals,
it will sometimes overleap bounds; but as for
prohibiting the laying of a side track between
Fourth and Fifth streets, on a strip contigu
ous to their present main track and entirely
useless—an offensive gutter until filled by the
Railroad Company at their own expense—and
all, too, for the sake of accommodating the
entrance to a stable or two, we think absurd
and very detrimental to the interests of the
town. We are now on the eve of advantages
which may, if encouraged, result in vast ben
efit, and it behooves us to give the beckoning,
lest enterprise be' driven from our borders
~ and we be left desolate." "As we sow so
shall we reap." DODNEY.

PAID LOCALS.—There seems to be a
good deal of misconception in regard to the
use of the local columns of newspapers as
advertising agencies. The proprietor of a
newspaper depends largely on the profits of
his advertisieg columns for support. The
subszription rarely pays the cost of the paper.
The advertising columns constitute the 'Sub
Usher's stock in trade—the commodity which
ho siLITs - iiittit --- pit i alis-At stipulated prices ,
just as the merchant sells his And
publishers are constantly asked to insert gra
tuitously locals, notices, andadvertisemenis in
aid of money making enterprises. With just
as much propriety might the merchant be
asked to DONATE goods from his counter in
aid of these enterprises—a favor that few
would think of asking.
The sooner the public get a correct under
standing of this maiter the better. All local
news of general interest we are glad to pub
lish; but we SELL the right of advertising local
private h"siness, and at fixed prices—whether
this advertising be in aid of Lectures, Con
certs, Exhibitions, or ordinary business enter
prise. The fact that the enterprise has a
religious or moral bearing, does not give it
claim for gratuitous advertising, any more
than it does on the merchant or mechanic for
a donation of his goods or products. if we
see fit to contribute to the enterprises, we
prefer to do it as other people do, ix MONEY—
demanding pay for that which we sell.
There is a question of sound morals as well
as sound business in all this, which will be
approved by all who care to use a little re
flee tion.—Ec.

STOi ) MY PAPER.-Evefy publisher of
a newsuaper has heard this tremendious order
from offended subscribers, imagined by the
offended to be as dangerous as a stroke Of
lightning, but in reality more harmless than a
mosquito bite. A good story is told by Th
Philadelphia Po:: of Nlr. Swain, the former
proprietor of Phe Deiily Ledger. By his course
on some public question, on which different
persons had different opinions, Mr. Swain had
offended a number of readers, one of whom
met him on Chestnut st., and thus accosted
him 'Mr. Swain. Ire stopped The Ledger."
"What is that, Sir?" I've stopped The Ledger,"
was the stern reply. "Is it possible ?" said
Mr. Swain. "My dear Sir, what do you mean?
Come with me to my office." And taking the
man with him, he entered the office.at Third
and Chestnut sts. There they foundthe clerks
busy at their desks ; then they ascended to
the editorial rooms and composing rooms,
where everything was going on as usual;
finally they descended to the press rooms,
where the engines were at work. "I thought
you told me you bad stopped The Ledger,'
said Mr. Swain. "So I have," said the offend
ed subscriber. "I don't see the stoppage.
The Ledger seems to be going on." "Oh 1 I
mean to say—that is, that I—sb—had stopped
taking it." "Isthat all !" exclaimed Mr. Swain,
"Why my deer Sir, you don't know how you
alarmed me."
PETERSBURG ITEMS.—A friend sends
us the following items from Petersburg :
The several religious denominations of Pe
tersburg convened in the M. E. Church, on
Thanksgiving morning and services were open
ed with a fervent prayer by the Rev. M. L.
Smith; Rev. J. C. Wilhelm, Pastor of the Pres
byterian church, delivered an impressive and
highly commended discourse from the Psalms
107 : 1.
J. C. Walker is doing a large mercantile
and lumber trade.
John Ross is extensively engaged in the re•
tail coal business.
J. Cresswell & Son have their mill in excel
lent repair and are making the best quality of
flour.
R. Myton & Son aro just completing the
the brick work of one of the largest houses in

Petersburg station to Philadelphia.
J. R. Hunter & Co. are increasing their
forge business.
Augustus Ant!man is just completing a fine
brick house.
J. 1 Weaver is building r. new brick black
smith shop.
COLBURN FOUND.—Mr. George N. Col
burn, who was to have taken charge of the
Ward House, sod whom we noticed last week
as having mysteriously disappeared on Tues
day evening, was found at Water Street, Hun
tingdon county, in a deplorable condition on
Friday of last week, by Mr. Roller, a contrac
tor on the Lewisburg and Spruce Creek Rail
road, and taken to Williamsburg. It seems
that he had wandered about through the woods,
for his clothing was nearly all torn off him and
his face and head scratched and bleeding. Oi.r
informant states that his feet are so badly fro
zen that they have bursted open and his hands
are frozen nearly off. Ile had about 54,000
with him when he left, which he still retained
when taken to Williamsburg by Mr. Roller.—
His friends were notified and he is now receiv
ing careful medical - treatment at Williamsburg.
Mr. Colburn was not subject to these spells
and his family and friends are much depressed
in consequence of this affliction. Mrs. Colburn
says that she noticed he was unusually quiet
the day lie disappeared, but, not suspecting
anything to be wrong with him, she observed
nothing else unusual in his conduct. Such in
brief is wnat we have been able to le.trn, of
ter dilligent inquiry, from hi.lf a dozen differ
ent vague and unsatisfactory stories.—Tyrone
herald.
ROBBING THE DEAD.—The watch and
pocket book of Jacob Bowser, one of the vic
tims of the terrible disaster which occurred on
the Broad Top Railroad, on the Ist of Novem
ber, could not be found immediately after the
accident. There was no accounting for their
disappearance. At last, however, the watch
has turned up. On the 26u1t., it was discov
ered in the bands of a young man, at Bloody
Run, Bedford county, employed at one of the
ore banks. He hs.d traded an over coat for it
on the previous Saturday, to a man by the
name of Stuart, who alleges that he met an
unknown man ou the railroad, between the
wreck and Bloody Run, with whom he traded
watches. It is supposed that Stuart took the
watch from the dead body of Bowser, and,
if he took the one, the presumption would be
that he took the other also. The watch had
been carried sometime without a chain.
Stuart.lives at Carlisle but he was working on
the repairs at the time of the accident. The
watch has been handed to Mrs. Bowser.
How To Go WEST.—This is an in
quiry which every one should have truthfully
answered before he starts on his journey, and
a little care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much tronule, time
and money.
The "C. B. & Q. R. R." running from
-Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the "Iti."l - Route," running from
Indianapolis, through -fficrottlillr
lington, have achieved a splendid repu
in the last two years as the leading Passenger
Routes to the West. At Burlington they con
nect with the B. & Bi. R. R. and form the great
Burlington Route, which runs direct through
Southern lowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the Terri.
tories ; and passengers starting from Hun
tingdon county, on their way westward, can
not do better itin to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE. _
This Line has published a pamphet called
"II ow to go West," which contains much valua

Great West, which On be obtained free of

MATTERS AND MINOS ON BROAD TOP.
--Hoomtv, Pa., N0v.30. 1872.—Editor Journal:
—The subscriber again essays to tell your
readers of doings on Broad Top—theme wor
thy the pen of a Cresar or the tongue of a
Cicero (perhaps). The subscriber does not
claim .0 be able to do tip subject justice ;
but he will do what be can, leaving those who
may do better. Be proposes in this chapter
to speak first of railroads, last of railroads,
and if space be left he ruby fill it with items
regarding members of the human family. He
gives railroads the preference in this letter,
because they have the preference in all mat
ter. It is expected that there will soon be so
many railroads as to leave . any
little room for
thing else. The ancient couplet will be alter
ed so as to read "all the world's arailroad and
all the men and women merely passengers.:
And what a lot of them will be so badly
smashed up as not to care afterwards whether
the world moves or not.
Future books on Geography, (wherein chil
dren at school are supposed to learn all that
they ever know about Forms of Government
and other such foolish things;) will tell us that
the different Orders of Government are divid
ed into two g.mat classes, Primary and Second
airy; te ,, d that Secondary Governments, (again
classed' as Republics, Kingdoms, &c.,) hol
their power by the authority of, and ate us
der the control of the Primary Governments,
which are in name and in fact combinations
and consolidations of Railroad Companies and
like corporations. But we are going too much
into generalities. This letter is not intended
to teach Political Economy, but to furnish
news from Broad Top ; and its writer must at
tend mare close 'y to business on band.
The week ending Nov. 23, was a c-ushing
week on Broad Top. Little smashes of parts
of trains on the H. & B. T R R. were quite
common. On Tuesday a "camel" ran off the
track at Dudley. Such little things are too
•ommon to attract attention. How can a
'"camel" be expectel always to walk in a
atraipht and narrow path ? 4 It is better than
any man could do ; and we don't fault the
"camel" for occasionally stepping off. On
Saturday evening a tank jumped the track at
Hopewell and the engine, which was backing,
ran up on top of it, breaking th 3 tank and
injuring sonic cars of the train. On the same
evening a part of a train broke loose below
'Jove Station and, runni g down a grade into
the train at cc increased velocity, broke up
five cars. Ott Friday three or four cars we,
wrecked at Dudley by running off an unturn
ad switch. It is said that a brakeman Irta
gone ahead to turn the switch and was looking
at it without turning it when the train tan off.
rain is at least the third instance, inside of a
few weeks or months, of accidents caused by
failures to turn switches. It • long ago a
firetnan went a head of his engine to turn a
switch, found it right, and turned it wrong.
His engine tried running up to the station on
the ties, but ignominiously failed. Some per
sons have been so thoughtless as to accuse
brakemen and others of making too much use
of the forty rod article; but we II ouldn't fora
moment suppose that any officer or employee
of the H. & B. T. R. R. would touch, taste of
handle anything intoxicating. Never !
Things promise to become livelier on Broad
Top . . We understand there is sufficient motive
power on the railroad to do all the work de
mended of it. Provided too much is not de
. mended. The new piece of road at Saxton
will soon be in use (the new bridge has been
in use Tor weeks) and the road will be safe
and pleasant to travel over. The managers
of the "New York Company" (if anybody
knows what company that is) were here a
week ego ; and it is p_oinised that at the "New
York Bank" work will he resumed by the first
of. the year. This will give Coalmont a chance
of lookmg up again. Work is to be resumedal
so at "Dudley Slope ;" and a slope or shaft is
to be sunk to the vein beneath the one hereto
fore worked.
At last we are to have an East Broad Top
Railroad. Eleven miles of it, from Mt. Union
to Orbisonia, are being graded ; and the whole
of it may be graded by another season. Two
mines are being opened on the land of Roberts'
heirs one or two miles east of Broad Top City ;
and forty new houses are to be erected there
in the Spring. All of which looks as if some
body meant business.
Perhaps everybody don't know yet that
Broad Top City has a steam mill. It has
though. And the engine which runs that
mill has a whistle. Nobody within five miles
aas failed to discover that fact. Fourteen
times daily is heard its treble tone, each time
strung out to a full ncte of ten to twenty min
utes duration. flow the machinery is arrang
ed to allow of such long notes being perform
ed on one whistle is above the comprehension
of the writer ; but the fact remains. That en
gibe is the longest winded animal that travels
on Broad Top. We hearn that Messrs. D R.
P. Flenner and Edward Pool are about reor
ganizing a Good Templar Lodge at Broad Top
City. Success attend them. They have a
very good field to operate in.
Dudley has a singing dehool. And Dudley
has some good singers. It ought to have.
We cannot tell how many times a week its
singers meet to practice, but we would say
eight times at a rough guess. When Dudley,
undertakes to do a thing it goes at it in earn
est. Duffity has one of the best Sunday Schools
in the county. Scarcely a Sabbath in sum
mar or winter that this school does not . have
two sessions ; and its branch at Minersville is
kept up through out the year. There is not
in the county so active a Sunday School man
as the Superintendent of the Dudley S. S.,
Rev. John Palmer. Taken all in all there is
not likely a church of even larger size in the
county, as well attended, where as many meet
ings are held, and where as much good is done
as at the Dudley Union Church.
And now Dudley has "F.ocietas Literatorum."
If the reader knows what a SocietAs Literato
rum is he known more than the Subscriber,
who has failed to find an account .of such a
thing after a careful search in fourteen die
tionaries,twenty-seven encyclopmdias, a Pike's
arithmetic, and the Constitution of the United
States. But there is one in Dudley. And
this calls to mind the promise made at the
outset that this letter would discourse first
and last and mostly of railroads. But the
said letter has already become too long ; and
the further consideration of railroads will be
postponed, to be resumed on a future occasion.

PROS PECT US FOR 1873-SIXTH
YEAR.
THE ALDINE,
An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally admitted to
be the Handsomest J eriodical in the n orld.
A Representative andel:au:upon
of American Taste.
Not for sale in Book or News Stores.
The Aldine. while issued with all the regularity, has
none Of the .emponey or timely interest characteristic of
irshoury periodicals. It is au elegaut mi cellany of pure,
light, and graceful literature ; and a collection of picture,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white.
Although each nucceeding limber aliordti a fresh pleacnre
to its friends, the real value and beauty of the Aldine will
ue most appreciated after it has been bound up at the close
if the year. While other publications may claifir superior
cheapuois, as compared with rivals of s similar class. The
Aldiue is a unique and original conception—alone and un
approached—absolutely without csmpetition in price or
eharacter. The possessor of a complete volume cannot
duplicate the gnaw ity of fine paper and rngravings in any
other shape or nom. or of volumes for ten times its cost ;
mod then, there are the chromes, besides
ART DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price of subacription
last Fall, when The Aldine aesumed its pteseut noble pro
portions and representative character, the edition was
inure than doubled during the part year; proving that oho
American public appreciate, and will support, a !sincere
Abet in the cause of Art. The publishers, anxious to
justfy the ready confidence thus demonstrated, have ex
erted themselvea to the utmost to develop and tor-wove the
work; and the plaus for the coming year, as unfolded by
the monthly issues, will astonish and delight even the
most sanguine friends of The Aldine.
The publishers are authorized to announce designs from
many of the most eminent or iota of America.
In addition, The Aldine will reproduce examples of the
best toreign masters, selected with a view to the highest
artistic success, and greatest genet al interest; avoiding
such as have bee me familiar, through photograph. or
'copies of any kind.
The quat torly tinted plates, for 1873, will reproduce four
of John S. Davis' inimitable child-sketches, appropriate to
the four seasons. These platen, appearing in the issues for
January, April, July, nod October, would be atone worth
;he price of a year's subscription.
The popular feature of a copiously illustrated "Christ-
MILS" number will be continued.
To possess ench a valuable epitome of the art world, at
a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of
thousands in every section of the country; but, oe the use
,alness and attraction, of The Aldine ten be enhanced, In
proportmei to the numerical increase of as supporters, he
publishers propose to make "assurance double auto" by
the following unparallel.ll offer of
PREMIUM CIIROMOS POE 1913.
Every snbscriber to The Aldine, who pays in advance
fir the year 1573, will receive, without additional charge,
a pair of beautiful oil chrome., afterJ.J. ill, the eminent
English painter. The pictures, entitled "The Village
Belle," and "Crossing the Moor," are '14x20 locket—are
printed from 5 different plat., requiring 25 impressions
and tints to perfect each picture. The same ch.emos are
sold for f,::0 per pair in he art stores. As it is the deter
mination of tto conductors to keep The Aldine out of ti o
reach of competition in ever) department, the phrumos
will be found correspondingly ahead of any that can be
offered by other periodicals. Every eubscriber will re
ceive a certificate, over the signatu: e of the publishers.
guaranteeing that the chromes delivered shall be equal to
the sump!es furnished the agent, or the money will be
refunded. The distribution of pictures of this grade, free
to the subscribers to a five dollar periodical, will mark an
epoch in the history of Art; and, considering the unpre
cedented cheapness of the price for Tho Aldine itself, the
marvel falls short of a miracle, even to those best acquaint
ed with the achievements of inventive genius and improv
ed mechanical appliances. (For illustrations of these
chromes, see November issue of The Aldine.)
THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT
will continue under the care of Mr. Richard Henry Stod
dard, amisted by th.• be+t writers and poets of the day,
wlm will strive to have the I itemture of The Aldine alwaye
in keeping with its artietic attractions. •
TERMS.
