Some days ago, a Huntingdon man named
George A. 3itchell, accused a Baltimorean
named J. J. Greer, whilst traveling on the
railroad together, with stealing seventy dol
lars from his watch fob. He was arrested at
Altoona, and while the officers were about to
search Greer, tie insisted that Mitchell be first
searched, when the supposed stolen money was
fauna wrapped up in his inside coat pocket,
and an additional five dollars besides. It is
thought that, fearing the consequences, he
slipped the money into the pocket of Mitchell,
who was intoxicated, and along with it the
extra five dollars. Mitchell paid the costs,
and had a surplus left out of the five dollars—
and there the matter ended.—Altoona Sun.
AN INMATE OF TIIE ALLEGHENY COUN
TY JAIL CHARGES MAISEL,' WITH COMMITTING
AasoN.—For the purpose of escaping the tor
ture of an accusing conscience, a prisoner
named E. C. fill, confined in the county jail
at Pittsburgh for drunkenness, recently con
fessed to having committed a graver crime six
years ago. The confession was made to De
tective Coppice, who visited him for the pur
pose of obtaining information in regard to
other matters, about which he was presumed_
ly posted. lie stated to the officer that the
incendiary fire in Altoona in 1866, by which
seven new buildings, occupied as stores and
dwellings, were destroyed, had been caused
by hire. The secret he had kept until it had
become a source of torment, and he had now
up his mind to confess, and receive the
punishment of the crime, thinking that, as he
was only twenty-two years of age, he can take
a new start of life at the expiration of the
term of imprisonment.
During the day on which the crime was
committed he was drinking heavily, and fell
in with two men who made his acquainetnee
and supplied him with liquor. After getting
him in a reckless condition they offered him
fifty dollars to set the fire, and after some de
murring he consented. While the two watched
from a distance be applied a match to a pile
of shavings under one of thesteps. While the
buildings were burning Hill was lying drunk
at the opposite side of the street. He saw the
two strangers for a few moments the next day,
but they gave bins no money and afterward
they disappeared. Ile remained in Altoona
unsuspected for three or four days, and then
fled. Since then he has been traveling with
circus companies, but claims to have always
felt the influence of what he had done, and
drank constantly to drown the recollection.
After hearing his statement the detective
wrote at once to Altoona, and finding that the
facts of the fire had been correctly stated, de
termined to carry the man to that place. He
started with him on Saturday, and after arri
val there the prisoner repeated his story. An
information was made against him, and he was
taken before the Mayor for examination. He
waived a hearing, stating his guilt, and was
committed to jail to await the session of the
court. A reward of flee hundred dollars bad
been offered for him, which will probably fall
to Mr. Cupples.—Johnstown Voice.
COURT AFFAIRS—SECOND WEEK.—
The amount of business on the Common Pleas
list, for last week, was unusually light, only
two small cases being disposed of by jury tri
al, the balance of the cases down for trial be_
ing either settled by the parties or continued
by consent. The following were the oases
tried :
Robert Waring, Treasurer of the Tyrone
Glen Hope Turnpike Company vs. Thomas S.
McCann.
This ivas an action of debt, to recover the
amount of a joint note for $llB, given Nov.
sth, 1868. The defemse consisted in the alle
gation of defendant that at the time the obli
gation was signed hybim he was not conscious
of the responsibility he was assuming, but the
allegation was not sustained by other witness
es, and the defense failed. Verdict for plain
tiff for $147.50, the amount of note and inter
est. Brown Jr. Bailey for plaintiff; Woods k
Williamson for defendant.
Henry S. Wood vs. James G. Stewart.
This was an action to recover an alleged
balance on plaintiff's books for work done for
defendant, who also claimed a balance on his
book against plaintiff for money paid, provi
sion furnished, &c., each party claiming about
S7O. Verdict for defendant for $3O. 'Woods

RECIPE POE KILLING A TOWN.—The
Kingston Gazette speaks truly when it says:
"To kill a town, underrate every present and
prospective public enterprise, speak ill of the
churches and schools, tell everybody the ho
tels are "bad,' enlarge the vices of the peo
ple, especially the young people ; withhold
the patronage front your merchants and trades
men, and buy your goods mud groceries in
some other place; and by all means go to the
city for your millinery and such like , never
subscribe for the local paper, and if you are
in business, refuse to advertise."
ODEY'S LADY'S Boox.—This great fa
vorite with the ladies has found its way to our

are crammed full of the most intereating mat
ters for ladies. It is one of the cheapest and

FAILURE Or THE JURY TO AGREE IN
THE TRIAL. OF GEORGE B. KERPER.-Early in
November last ex-Representative George W.
Skinner and Geo. D. Kerper, both of whom
are well known in this city, were offered many
indignities while on a visit to M'Connelsburg
by a notorious ruffian. The principal object
of the latter's malevolence was Captain Skin
ner, whom ho severely wounded by hitting
him on the head with a stout. This unpro
voked and violent assault on his associate
aroused a spirit of resentment in Mr. Keeper,
and he fired a revolver at his assailant. Un
fortunately the ball struck an innocent man
named Welsh and imparted a wound which
terminated fatally next day. Immediately
after the occurrence of the tragic affair Mr.
Kerper delivered himself into the custody of
the authorities of Fulton county, by whom he
was released on tendering $20,000 bail to an-1
swer at court for the killing of Welsh. This
week the case was tried, and the jury an
nounced on Thursday that they were unable
to agree, a minority of the jurors favoring a
verdict of manslaughter and the majority of
not guilty. Under the ruling of Judge Hall,
before whom the case was tried, the disagree
ment is said to be equivalent to an acquittal.
The accused was defended by Hon. F. M. Kim
mel!, J. AVD. Sharpe, W. S. Stenger and Geo.
W. Smith, Esqs. The arguments of Messrs.
Sharpe and Stenger are spoken of as able and
eloquent forensic efforts. Hon. John Cessna
assisted the prosecution. Among the wit
nesses who bore testimony to the good char
acter of Mr. Kerper were Hen. Heister Clymer,
Senator Davis, S. E. Ancona and other citi
zens of Reading.—Harrisburg Patriot.
A BEAUTIFUL rEANDWRITINCL—There
are but few of our readers who would not like
to acquire a rapid and beautiful handwriting,
for there is no one accomplishment so highly
prized as this. The business colleges of the
country have afforded the best instruction in
this branch and have succeeded in producing
the most accomplished penmen. The best
penman in America to-day is Prof. GASKELL,
Pres't of the Bryant d Stratton College of
Manchester, N. H. There are few lovers of
he beautiful art of penmanship who hare not
heard of this wonderful penman and many
have seen specimens of his' skill. His large
specimens have attracted great attention in
New York City and throughout the country
where they hare been placed on exhibition.
lie is now engaged day and night sending
out Copies for self-instruction, which he
writes himself expressly for applicants, so that
any one can learn to write at the home fire
side. These contain full printed instructions,
and are put up in large heavy envelopes and
sent by mail prepaid for 9,1.00 per package.
They are all numbered and so fully explained
that no one can fail to learn rapidly from
them. They have been ordered by thousands
—not by poor writers alone, but by the lead
ing teachers of penmanship throughout the
United States and Canada. Our readers would
do well to write for a package, as nothing so
complete, beautiful and useful for self-instrnc
tion will ever again be offered them.
NOBLE ACT OF A FREIGHT CONDUCTOR.
—On Wednesday last as the Six Mile Run
freight train switched off the main track at
Riddlesburg, the engine from some cause or
other jumped from•lhe track and the engineer
and fireman becoming alarmed jumped the en
gine without shutting off the steam. The
conductor, Mr. Joseph Mogle, a faithful officer,
seeing how the matter stood and knowing the
fearful consequence which would follow,
climbed over one ear after another and up on
the engine and stopped the train within forty
feet of the bridge which crosses Six Mile Run.
Had ho not acted promptly the whoM train
would have gone down the embankment, and
been completely wrecked. Mr. Mogle is a
deserving man and we have no doubt will be
remembered by the company when the oppor
tunity offers.—Bedford Inquirer.

ORBISONIA, JANUARY 24,1878.—Dear
Journal: I see your local correspondents are
sending to your very interesting columns the
news from almost every locality except from
here, and we think we have one of the most
beautiful little towns in the county, and pos
sessing more facilities for a tradingpoint than
can be found elsewhere. Orbisonia is pleas.
antly situated on the north east bank of the
Black Log Creek, is the great Aughwich Val
ley and directly opposite the only throughfare
leading through the mountain to the Black
Log and Tuscarora Valleys. Black Log is a
narrow Valley possessing some as fertile lands
as you can find elsewhere, besides it has an
abundance of the finest lime steno in central
Pennsylvania. Next you pass through Shade
Gap (a deep ravine in the Shade mountain)
where you find the very beautiful Valley of
Tuscarora. This vast Valley has superior ad
vantages over many localities. It is well
watered with the purest of mountain water,
and its soil is well adapted to agricultural
purposes, besides we find an abundance of
iron ores, lime stone, lumber, &c., and all this
vast trade must eventually concentrate in our
town, as this will be the nearest railroad sta
tion. Yon return to Orbisonia again and cast
your eyes north, swab and west—the vast iron
ore fields of the great Anghwich Valley greet
you with their untold millions of wealth. Now
we point you south of our town to the lands
of the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company, where
they have chosen sites for two large furnaces
which will be erected this coming summer for
the purpose of developing the buried wealth of
this section. The company will have their
railroad completed to East Broad Top within
use year at the farthest, and by the middle of
July the road will be completed from hers to
Mount Union, and perhaps sooner. There are , 1
quite anumber of houses new under contem
plation
for the coming season and quite a
number of them have - been contracted for.
All this enterprise and development of wealth
in building up the country with railroads and
furnaces we, as a just and grateful people,
ascribe to the untiring and zealous labors of
Col. P. P. Dewees and Dr. Royer. They are
both live men and thorough bred iron men.
Col. Dewees, not unlike the Hon. D. J. Mor
rell, is a worker and not a babling speech ma
ker. He never gets astride of the ditch but
is at all times on his own side and in the
right place.
I notice that your correspondent from Clay ,
makes some very wild statements in his re
ports to you. He is either not posted or else
intentionally makes things wear as bad a face
as be does himself. That man Pierce, who had
his feet frozen so badly as to necessitate am
putation of one at the instep and the other at
the tees, ;vas not coming for whisky when he
received the injury. The fact of the case is,
he was at A. Carothers' hotel, in this place, on
the night before Christmas, and there met
with a Mr. J. W. Scott and others who wished
to go to Shade Gap; a distance of six miles,
and he agreed to take them for so much, if
they would treat, and all being made right,
they started for Shade Gap, and it was there
that Mr. Pierce got drunk, and when on his
way homele fell off of his sled near Mr. Mi
chael Starr's, in Blackleg Valley, and there
met with his misfortune. Mr. Pierce has for
some time been aconsistent member of Christ's
Church in America, and is esteemed by his
o neighbors.
Orbisonia is not chargeable with any mis
fortune of the kind. We have four churches,
one school house, three stores, three groce
ries, two blacksmith shops, two shoemaker
shops, one temperance hotel, and one licensed
hotel, and go into either you will find quiet
.
supreme.
_ . .
And as for the twenty-six or twenty-eight
surveys that the Railroad Company have made
on East Broad Top, I venture to say that the
Company have paid for every survey made,
and if it becomes necessary they have the stamps
to make twenty-eight more surveys without
asking contributions from the citizens.

MATTERS AND THINGS ON BROAD TOP.
-DUPLEY, Jan. 35, 1873.—Nr. Editor a—lt, is
some weeks since the subscriber has essayed
to write an article for the JOURNAL. Several
reasons might be givea for this . seeming ne
glect. Chief among them is that the coming of
Christmas and New Year called for acessation
of hard work for awhile. Most people like a
holiday now and then. Printers don't won:
durin , the holidays ; and why should corre
spondents work when printers are idle? They
must not be expected to do it. Then the rea
der must know that it is hard work to write a
letter for a newspaper. A correspondent mnst
only give items of news that are deserving of
publication, and be must always adhere strict
ly to the truth. If a correspondent had liber
ty to alter, amend and color the statements
he makes to suit himself, lie might get up St
much more readable letter, and do it with half
the work ; but when be undertakes to tell the
truth, toe whole truth, and nothing but the
unvarnished truth, as Broad Top correspon
dent always do, he finds it hard work to get up
a letter for publication. This might be urged
as a sufficient reason for the subscriber's hav
ing been three weeks in getting up this letter ;
but the further fact that be has been employed
as a regular correspondent for the New York
Herald, London Times, Paris Revue Deux-Monde,
Vienna and St. Petersburg Sornsakoffenoff, and
that he must collect the Broad Top news for
those papers will sufficiently excuse him in the
eyes of all respectable readers and critics.
It is not worth while to gather tip all the
stale news of the last four weeks and give a
rehash of it in this letter. At present we pro
pose.only to take a hasty view of some mat
ters in general relating to this classic moun
tain, and its - vicinity. Of course the railroads
must be heard from. It would be useless to
record the minor and major accidents that
have occured on the H. kB.T. R. It., since
our last writing. It we did this letter would
be but a kind of repetition of former letters ;
and we will try to avoid vain repetitions. At
last a change has been made in the manage
ment of that particular railroad ; and it now
remains to be seen 'whether it can be run with
out a daily smash-up. Let us hope that the
feat is not impossible. The now superintend
ent, Mr. Gage, is a man of experience and abil
ity ; he has been for years connected with a
road noted for its good management ; and it
is hoped and believed that his accession to
the control and management of this road will
make a new era, not only in the business suc
cess of the road, but in everything pertaining
to the interest of the people of Broad Top,
(N. B. The writer of this letter does not expect
a pass on the said road.)
. .
'•
Work in the mines is not very active at
present, but the prospects arc favorable for
study work during the year. The taking of
Cumberland coal over this road by the P. R.
R. Co., has not had any effect on the mining
of Broad Top Coal. Nor is the completion of
the E. B. T. R. R., likely to effect themining of
coal on this side of the mountain, while it will
cause an increase of population and a general
improvement in the business of the whole reg
iou. Though mines arc being opened up on
the cast side, it will be two years before much
coal will be taken out from that side, as it will
require at least two years to complete the tun
nels through Sideling and Ray's
Any amount of snow has fallen and is still
falling, and still promises to fall on Broad Top
this winter. Sleighing is better than it has
been for years, or is ever likely to be again.
Snow-shoes have not been used here as yet,
but our merchants think of ordering a supply
for immediate use. They might have been had
before this if it hadn't been for that Boston
fire which burnt so many shoes that it was',
feared the supply would fail. A largenumber
of snow-balls have been manufactured this
winter. The boys have a monopoly of this
business. They dispose of the snow-balls at
a tangent, and the effect is sometimes tragical.
Speaking of balls reminds us that a grand ball
was held at lffinersville, on New Years eve
ning, which was a success. If we had been a
Washington correspondent, instead of simply
a Broad Top news gatherer, we would have
told who received and who assisted, and who
wore a mauve silk, and gum shoes, and—and
—but this isn't a Washington letter and we
won't say anything more about it.
Our teachers attended the county conven
tion, at Huntingdon, in December, and doubt
less profited by what they learned there. One
of the improvements noticeable in our schools
since that time, is in the increased length of
the school day. Teachers here, as well as in
other parts tf the county, have been in the
habit of teaching only sixhours daily. At the
suggestion of the Board of Directors, the
teachers of Carbon township have agreed to
open their schools .M 8.30 in the morning and
close at 5 in the evening, thus adding 25 per
cent. to the time given to their duties, and, of
course, twenty-five per cent. to the benefit
reaped from the schools by the children of
Carbon township. This is a self-sacrificing
reform, for which fature generations will thank
the teachers of Carbon township.
We learn that the survey of the E. B. T. R.
R. has been completed, and that the contracts
for its construction are about being awarded.
As soon as we can obtain them we will for
ward to the JousseL for publication the report
of the engineers, and a description of the route
of the said railroad. The first accident on
that road occurred some weeks since, in the
vicinity of the Three Springs. A man named
Long, if we mistake not, started to go to Glas
gow's, before daylight of a frosty morning.—
Heedless mortal ! He shouldn't have ventured
out without a lantern. Ile even started to
run, and, as a matter of fearful certainty, he
tripped on one of the E. B. T. R. R. stakes
spoken of in our last. How he came off with
out a broken neck has been a matter of won
der to him ever since. As it was, he kept his
bed for awhile. He carries a lantern now when
he goes out o'nights.
It is said that a project is on foot for ma
king a railroad from Mount Union up Hill
Valley. Where that road is to end is more
than anybody knows. There is no more room
for railroad termini anywhere about East Broad
Top. The ground is all engaged.
We notice that the Monitor has a Dudley
correspondent. Brice writes a good letter,
and we are sure that the editor and readers of
that paper will be glad to hear from him often.

DR. CROOK'S WINE OF TAR
Ten years of a public test has proved Dr. Crook's
Wine of Tar to have more merit than any similar
preparation ever offered to the public. It is rich
in the medicinal qualities or Tar, and unequaled
for disease of the
THROAT AND LUNGS,
performing the most remarkable cures. It effectu
ally cores all COUGHS and COLDS. It has cured
so many cases of
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS,
that it has been pronounced a specific for these
complaints. For
PAINS IN THE BREAST. SIDE OR BACK,
GRAVEL OR KIDNEY DISEASE,
disease of the Urinary Organs, Jaundice, or any
Liver Complaint it has no equal.
It is also a superior Tonic, restores the Appe
tite, strengthens the System, restores the Weak
and Debilitated, causes the Fogd to Digest, re
moves Dyspepsia and Indigestion. prevents Mal
arious Fevers, Oivos tone to your System.
AND IRON
That Pale, Yellow, Sickly Looking . Skin is chang
ed to one of freshness and health. Those
Diseases of the Skin, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches
and Eruptions are renweed. Scrofula,
h'crofelous Diseases of the Eyes,
IVhite Swelling, Ulcer.,
Old Sorer
or any kind of Humor rapidly dwindle and disap
pear under its influence. In fact it will do yon
more good, and cure you snore speedily than any
and all other preparations combined. What is it ?
IT IS NATURE'S OWN RESTORER!
A soluble oxyd of iron combined with the medici
nal properties of Poke Root divested of all disa
greeable qualities. It will core any CHRONIC
or LONG STANDING DISEASE whose real or
direct cause is
BAD BLOOD, RHEII3IATISM, PAINS IN LIMBS OR
BONES, CONSTITUTION BROKEN DOWN
by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it.
PorSYPIIILIS, or SYPIIITRIALTADIT, there is
