The lumbermen of Trough Creek Valley are enjoying a season of rest, owing to the epi zootic and the hard crust oa the snow. An individual is wanted to take a contract to manufacture 1,000,000 of brick for the Rock Bill Iron and Coal Company, at Orbisonia. The Trough Creek people are bringing to market the best articles of potatoes produced in the county. Won't some one bring us a lot? Mr. Speer is neglecting us wonderfully, this session, somehow or other : He hasn't sent us eren an Agricultural Report. What is the matter? No head of a family should think of doing without a general and especially a local news paper. Three dollars and ion cents will sup ply both. Tbe extension of the Morrison's Core rail road from Martinsburg to Woodbury seems assured, but $6OO of the $lO,OOO required, having vet to be raised. I. N. Stevenson intends supplying Yount Union with one million of brick, to be made at that point, early in tho Spring. A I ino or two in the JOURNAL did this. Prof. Wm. Howard Day, editor of °tor Na tional Progress, has been appointed to a first class clerkship in the Auditor General's -office at Harrisburg. A good appointment. The floating ice on the river carried a way some of the timbers from the Broad "Top bridge, making it very insecure. Engines are not run over it.. It will bo repaired in a. few days.

Ile was a subscriber to Mr. McCahan's paper before the establishing of the JOURNAL. On Wednesday, of last week,L. S. Geissing er was admitted to practice in the several courts of Huntingdon county. Mr. Geissinser, we learn, passed a very creditable examina tion, and bids fair to make a. successful law yer. We wish him many clients and liberal fees. The friend who sent us, last week, the item giving the precise location of a few of the leading MU of Saulsburg, requests no to say, that he was notpoking fun at any of the small er suburban towns, such as Huntingdon, Al loons, &c., so that the noodle who thought it was soft can rest his soul in peace. One day last week, while the fire company were exercising with the new steamer, at the Exchange Hotel, some scoundrel entered the basement story of the building occupied by Broad Top, and set fire to a large lot of waste paper. Fortunately it was discovered and promptly extinguished without much damage. The ''Gem !" That's the place to get oysters, No. 4011, Allegheny street, opposite the Union Depot, W. H.

Reader, it you want oysters by the can, half can, gallon, quart or pint, go to the "Gem !" Brown, of the Clarion Atmocrat, relates the following: A singular incident occurred at Spruce Creek, Huntingdon county, where we were visiting last week. A large bald eagle attacked a wild turkey, and killed it in a field in front of the house ; bat before its flesh was torn to any extent a person who saw the affair frightened the eagle away and thus captured a turkey, which made a fine roast. From the Bedford Inquirer we learn that "on and after Jan. 13, 1873, the Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad will carry coal and oth er freight over its line daring, the day and leave a clear road at night for the Pennsylva nia Railroad to carry coal trains. In this way it is expected that they will be able to carry 1,200 tons o' Cumberland coal every twenty four hones instead of 500 tons as heretofore." Col. Jobs S. Miller, of the Exchange, and a Mr. Kerr, of Philadelphia, wore thrown frnm a sleigh, en last Friday night, in front of the Washington House., and badly bruised and otherwise hurt. The immediate cause of the occident was owing to the breaking or loss of a pin holding the Longue to the sleigh, which caused the latter to run to one side egairst post, upsetting it and frightening the horses, causing the them to ran away. [Reported by R. McDiviTr. RF-0.1 Cot:la APFAIRS.—The. cases ou the eivii 4iat, for the fir.A week, having all been continued, but little was left to dispose of ex- Coptthe criminal list, which, by the action of Ithe Grand Jury, and other means, was nar- I rowed down to an unusually small amount. In the Sessions, Henry Hess plead guilty to a charge of selling liquor without license, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $5O and costs of prosecution. Elizabeth Shank was indicted on surety of the peace, on oath of William Stewart, for threats made against the life of the complain ant, and was held in a recognizance of $lOO to keep the peace for one year. The defendant was, however, re-incarcerated for want of the necessary stamps to pay the costs. A demented-looking individual, answering to the name of Patrick Highland, was before the Court on complaint of Mrs. Walker, of Portstown, for entering her house, in her ab sence, and presenting himself at the door, on her return, in a threatening attitude, brandish ing a huge knife. He seemed unable to give an intelligible account of himself, and was remanded for a further hearing. In the Oyer and Terminer, William J. Henry was arraigned on the charge of committing a rape on the person of Mrs. Nancy J. Shawley, in West township, some time in October last. The prosecutrix testified that the defendant entered her house, in the absence of her hus band, and committed the outrage on her per son, but the information Was not made till about a mouth after the offense was alleged to have been committed, and the defense con sisted principally in the fact that the prosecu trix had not, as she was required, divulged the fact to nuy one for so long a time, and a large number of witnesses were summoned on both sides, to testify in regard to the charac ter of the parties. The jury, after remaining out during the most of tile afternoon and night, returned a verdict of guilty. John W. Randolph was arraigned for the same crime, perpetrated on the same individ ual, and within a few days of the same time. The evidence was about of the same character, except that an alibi was sought to be estab lished on the part of the defendant, with at least some degree of success. The jury in this case, after a short absence, returned a verdict of not guilty. The parties, in both cases, lived at the time of the alleged offense, in the same neighbor hood, and are all married, with families. Some fifty witnesses were examined in each case, consisting almost entirely of citizens of the immediate vicinity. In the case of Henry a new trial has been applied for. Court adjourned on Wednesday afternoon. AN OUTRAGEOUS IMPOSITION UPON Tax-revErts.—An act was passed in 1867 entitled en act "for the protection of wild tur keys and squirrels, and for other purposes, in the county of Huntingdon," the sixth sec tion of which contains the following provision "That for the purpose of further protecting game and ins.ectiverous birds, whenever any person, af ter the passage of this act, has killed any fox, wild cat, pole cat, hawk, or owl, within said county, and produced, in the ea, of a fox, or wild cat, or pole sot, the scalp, and iu the case of a hawk, or owl, the scalp and the exact measure, from the extremi ty of one wino to the extremity of the other. before any justice of the pence in and for said county, it shall be the duty of said justice to examine such person, on oath, or affirmation, touching the time when and the place whore, such fox, wild cat, pole hawk,cat, :awk, or owl, was killed ; and if the same shall be found to have been within said county, it shall be the duty of the said justice to give an order to the treasurer of said county, for the sum of two dol lars for each and every scalp of a full grown fox, or wild eat, and for the suns of one dollar for each and every scalp of a fox, or wild cat less than full grown, and every hawk, or owl, exceeding three feet from the extremity of one wing to the extremi ty of the other, and the sum of fifty cents for each and every pole oat, and every hawk, or owl, lees than three feet from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other; and it shall be the duty of the treasurer to pay the amount of such order." This section was found to be oppressive and, in 1869, it was repealed, but, not having the pamphlet laws at hand, (and by the way, they should always be furnished to the printing of fices where such legislation as pertains to the county could be found and given to the peo ple) we suppose, that it was re-enacted in 1870. In consequence of this the county has pal d during the year 1872 over $4OOO ! fer this kind of trash. Here is just what the county has paid for, viz : 22 Wild Cats 0, $2 per scalp S 44 00 784Pozes " " " " 351 Owls " " " " 832 Hawks " " " " ...... 832 00 3130 Pole Cats " 50c' Tax-payers, look at this! $4,390 for nothiag ! Was there ever a more deliberate outrage ? Such farming and such imposition ! ono fam ily in Harm township was paid for 503 polo cat scalps—s2sl.sol This lawwas extended a few years ago, to Bedford county, and one in dustrious, honest citizen subsisted a whole family, one whole winter, upon dile premiums of a single skunk He cut it up into bits and doled it out from week to week. We suspect the same thing has been done here. We hope our representatives, at Harrisburg, will have the law repealed before the is sue of our n&rt paper. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—At the reg ular meeting of the Huntingdon County Agri cultural Society, held on . Wednesday evening last, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year. • President, El. G. Fisher, Hnntingdon ; Vice Presidents, .1. S. Africa, Huntingdon, A. G.

A bill of $6 presented by. 11. Chamberlain, was read and referred to the same committee. The report of the committee to audit the Treasurer's account for the year 1872, was read and accepted and ordered to be published in the county papers, (see report elsewhere).

THE PORTER TOWNSHIP CASE.—DII - the present term of the Court a decree was made in the case of the School District of Porter township against Robert A. Laird, Treasurer and Collector of school taxes, thus bringing to a final close a long and exciting contest. The decree is as follows : "It having been agreed by the parties to this ease that the Court should pass upon and decide all the matters in dispute between said parties and make a final decree thereon without awarding is sue, &r. Now, January 13, 1873, the Court, upon full consideration of the testimony, concur with J. R. Simpson, Auditor, as to his finding of the foots in his report filed, and therefore approve and con firm said report and finding of a balance, 1,0 wit: $1,798.33 against the said Robert A. Laird, on which balance the said Robert A. Laird is entitled t o a credit of '5.133.86. It is further ordered and directed, that judgment thereon be entered against 'him, the said Robert A. Laird, in favor of the said township of Porter, for the amount so found to be due and owing from him to said township, with one -h a lf t h e cos t, of litigation: Further, said township and its officers having been negligent and careless in the transaction of the public busi ness connected herewith, equally with said Robert A. Laird. it is but proper that said township should pay one-half the costs, and the Court so decree. "BY THE COURT." Buy your Wall Paper,Window Shades, Books Stationery at Langdon's Book Store.

CONFLAGRATION AT HOLIDAYSBURG. —The Standard Office Badly Damaged.—About eight o'clock on Monday evening last fire was discovered issuing from a buildeng owned by James Lovett and occupied by H. L. Bunker as a meat market, Allegheny street, Hollidays burg. The fire originated on the first floor and soon communicated with the second story of the building, and despite the efforts of the fire department which had promptly respond ed to the alarm, the flames soon spread to an adjoining building, owned by James Bingham, occupied on the first floor by Goldman's cloth ing store and McCoy's grocery store, and on the second floor by the office of the Standard and Dr. R. W. Christy. The roofs ,of both buildings were burned off while the building adjoining on the corner, owned by a man named Wolf and occupied by the post-office, was partially burned. Goldsmith's stock of clothing, McCoys stock of groceries and the material in the Standard office were greatly damaged by the water. After the flames had been subdued the office of our sprightly cotemporary presented a pret ty mess, as might reasonably be expected after a stream from the Phoenix engine was per mitted to have full scope therein. The floor was covered with water, almost all the type in the cases and that set up for the paper had been pied, and nearly all the files destroyed. The Register of last week gives the losses as follows : Trough, sBoo—fully insured, McCoy, s2oo—insured, Goldman's loss in damaged goods amounts to ssoo—insured, Bingham's loss, V6oo—frilly insured, Wolf's loss, slso—insured, Lovett's building was injured to the amount ofslso—not insured.— Altoona Tribune. A BIG THING.—A Fire Engine Throws Five Hundred Feet Through an Inch Nozzle.— We were in Huntingdon on last Saturday week, when they were trying the new steam fire engine. We did not have time to go up to where they were at work, but after we had taken the ears we obtained all the information we wanted, in relation to it, from an enthusi astic Huntingdonian, who had seen how it was himself, with his own eyes, and knew all about it. Ho said that on a dead level she threw fifteen kindred feet. We think he said she throw from Fisher's mill to the Exchange Hotel, and that she had cost twenty-eight thou sand dollars. He said the Baptist church stee ple was three hundred and fifty feet high, and she had cleared that by over a cool five hun dred feet. Here wo ventured the assertion that wo had never known au engine to throw over three hundred anti--, but before we could finish the number of feet, or give the size of tho nozzle, he turned upon us such a comingled look of scorn, contempt and pity at the expose of our own ignorance, that we at once wilted down, and felt, not only ex ceedingly cheap, but young, amiss if we could have crawled into that inch noz,sle ;and caused us to rebel in our minds against the fates for having switched us elf upon the tip top of the the Allegheny mountains, where we never see, nor hear, nor know anything. From that time until we reached Tyrone, we hardly dared to move; if we did, again that dreadful eye would be turnedupon us instanter. After we got home and retired the "big thing" kept on annoying us; and all night long we dream ed of "high steeples," "Huntingdon," "steam fire engines," etc., and we kept holding on to a large size pipe in the vain endeavor to throw over Huntingdon's big squirt.—Oreeola MCKILLIPS RETIRES FROM THE SUPSRIXTENDENCY Or THE H. at B. T. M. R. R.— Mr. John McKillips, after a Superintendency, covering almost a decade,retires from the Hunt ingdon and Broad 'fop Mountain Railroad, and George F. Gage, Esq., late of the Columbia and Reading Railroad, takes his place. Mr. McKillips came to the road when it was without character and run at a loss, if we are not mistaken, and at once changed the entire systeth of management; reduced its employees, reduced its expenses in a thousand different ways, and in a year or two worked it up to a paying basis. During his Superintendency the tonnage boa more than doubled as have the receipts, while the expense has far from kept a proportionate advance. He has constantly done the work of two or three ordinary men, and with the increase of labors be has contin ued to be equal to the emergency. Wo are sorry to part with one who has ever been kind and generous to us, but after the many years of care and trouble it is well that he should have some rest. We wish him prosper ity in his retirement, and hope to hear, in a short time, that he has been the recipient of higher honors, if there are any, and more sub stantial pecuniary reward. His successor comes with a ripe experience, and will "push things," no doubt, to the satis faction of all those who have business to transact with the company. A BOY KILLS A WILD CAT WITH A STONE. —A boy named Patrick McGinley, aged about thirteen years, and son of Michael McGinley, living in the vicinity of Kittanning Point, says the Altoona Tribune, while on the mountain on New Year's day, discovered a wild animal of some kind in an old sheep pen, and picking up a stone he advanced with in a few feet of it and threw at it, striking it on the side and injuring it so severely that it gave vent to the most piercing screams and frightful yells. Not knowing what kind of an animal it was, and while it was still writhing its death agonies, the little fellow went into the pen, picked it up end carried it home, when it was discovered to be a full-grown wild cat, one of the largest we have ever seen. The eat was subsequently skinned, and the hide stuffed, and on the following day young McGinley brought it to this city, made oath before Alderman McCormick to having killed it as above stated, and received an order on the Treasurer of the county for the usual bounty 'mid for wild cat scalps. After leaving the Alderman's office, young McGinley sold the hide of the cat and his order for the bounty for $1 50, the scalp alone being worth that amount and the skin probably worth mach more. It was certainly most fortunate that the lad succeeded in fatally wounding the vicious animal when lie did, for had he failed to do so, the struggle which would have ensued would doubtless have re sulted in a victory for the cat. ITEMS FROM THE "LOWER END."—A man by the name of Pierce, in Springfield township, had his feet so badly frozen, on Christmas night, that one foot and part of the other had to be amputated. It is said that he went in company witk a Mr. Madden to Orbi sonia in a sled, where he got intoxicated, and .on his way home lie determined to get out of the sled and go back to Orbisonia and get more whisky. He was so helpless that he never reached Orbisonia, and was found the. next morning almost frozen to death. Poor man, he will be a cripple for life, and no doubt a charge on the county. Who is to blame? Is it not the man that gave him the liquor? There is a meeting in progress, in the M. E. Church, at Three Springs borough, with con siderable interest. Rev. Mason's meeting at Saltillo is still going on. William Stake, of Saltillo, had two of his fingers torn off, on the 17th inst., by a gun bursting in Isis hands.

Smith alleged that he had paid the order and subsequently lost it. Ho made affidavit to this state of facto. Messrs.

T. il. Durborrow, Esq.: —I see in a letter in last week's Globe, pur porting to come from our town, giving the rea sons of the writer for subscribing for the Globe, to wit: that the editor, Guss, has made a scurrilous attack on the Hon. John Scott.— Having lived in this town and townshiponearly all my lifetime—and I ern no longer young-1 can say, with confidence, that not more than three or four persons in this locality entertain the sentiments of that letter, and they are persons who belong to the "seven or eight active wen in each township" who are leagued together for selfish and corrupt political purposes, or who have been made to feel that Mr. Scott is a ter ror to evil doers. John Scott has risen from obscurity to a position of honcr and useful ness by force of eminent ability and manly in tegrity. No man could have warmer personal friends or more ardent admirers than Senator Scott has in his native place, and they most heartily despise the malice that dictated that letter and that pretends to locate it at Alex andria. I would advise Mr. G. to look after that two dollar subscription, for any man who will frame such a base fabrication does not possess honesty enough to pay his debts.

They told the teechers they shoodent be paid for their time if they went to the institute. But mr. superinten dent he come along and told the teechers to go to that institute if they wanted to, for he said the legislacher had made a law that the teechers moot be paid for their time at the in stitute. Then it was that thoze direktcrs showed them that they new as much as any legislacher.. They just rived the teachers of their township notice that if enny of them de serted their skules and went to that there in stitute thay wood be amembered & delt with accordingly next winter then there wuz sissies to give ages. That wuz a rum around that the legislacher hadent thott of. For bold independent manhood give me a sknle di reckter all wait. Still thou) konfonnded teechers neerly 01l went to that institute. Az i said before mr.. editor, the institute wuz held in the kourt house and' it will kost the kounty sumthing to eleen out that kourt house agen. Wan of the commishiners told me it wood kost they county 2 dollers to have that house scrubd and thay didnt get nothing for lettin the institute be held there neether. I told him that they cood gether up enouff of book sirkulers and catalogs to sell and pay for the skrubbing. He said mornfolly that they might if it wuzent that thay war all spoiled with tobacko. Where, mr. editor, does the mutiny cum from that keeps 01l those teechers in tobacko ? Evry scent of it is razed by the poor taxpaers of which i am wun. 011 the way the cummishiners had of ma king up the mutiny waz to have a fare upp stares the same weak. do they had it. It dis turbed the institute but wheze bizness waz that. It giv the teechers a chance to take their girls to see the fare when the prefesser win making a long speech. The jndg said at the last, kourt that he woodent hay kourt agen when there was fares up stares. But mr. edi tor, i tell you the cummishiners of Huntingdon kounty kno whets buziness and yule find them there evry time. mr. editor If i waz a skule direkter i wood attempt to ellevate the standerd of teeching and to increse the dignity of the profesbun. I woodent dmploy army man or women to teech whoo hadent spent at leest three months in the study of liberal sienees : Reedin, Ritin and Rithmetic. Thoze are the ground work of a solid edukashun and no teecher shood think of teaching without haven givin them sum attensheen. But how menny of them doo it mr. editur ? They cant 'reed worth a cuss, they cant rite a ledgable hand and if thay doo a sum in rithmetick they doant kno whether it is rite till they see the anser in the book. I are down on such things. Then i wood increase the dignity of the pre feshun. I wood have every teacher coiled ,I prefesser." This is a distinkshun that teach err ott surtenly to have. nay call clouns asst serkns purformers prefessers ; they call mesie teechers professers. If a fella gone around teeching singing skules they call him a professer ; they even call fiddlers prefessers ; ant why, oh why thoodeut skule teechers be called prefessors ? But iam glad to see a re. ferns in this direkshun, for'in Elezandria, Ma piston, Kassville, Huntingden and neerly oil On other borrows of the kouuty they doe coil them prefessors. This reform will add grately to the dignity of the prefession. Bet i wont speak now of anny more reforms, for tsar lest sumbuddy else takes them In hand and gets the creddit of inventing them. If thaydo i will bent them for along time. I will onlysay mr. editor, that if ever i shood rise to the tenor of being elected a skule direktnr, and save served my country faithfully in that capacity for three years, i will upon retiring from the kares and Wills of office, amid the plolciits of mi admiring relatives and second kuzins, have a grand supper given me by my sucksesser in office, to be attended by thebole bored of dire,ktors A; at which speeches will be nade, and i will have the bole akkount of it peblished in the kouuty papers, along with a statement of my valuable survices renderd the koz of eddncashun and all that. That is the way goveners and commishiners and registers and rekorders and all thoze kinds of fokes do now a daze and why mr. editor shoodent skule dereckters go and dolikewise ? Eckoe Inters why.
