Run in at Spruce Creek—A ,Drover Loses his Life.—Brief mention was made , of the accidental killing of a drover on the Pennsylvania railroad in yesterday's Patriot. Since the following par ticulars have been related to no concerning the affair: About five o'clock on Tuesday morning the first Altoona freight was trans ferred from the north to the south track at Spruce Creek to allow the Pittsburg express west to pass. The flagman of the former was sent forward the necessary direction to cau tion the first freight, which was near due, of the danger before it. The train soon made to appearance and stopped a short distance west of the Altoona freight. The former was followed by the second Harrisburg freight, which ran into the cabin ear of the train pre , ceding it. In this car had been four drovers, conductor and flagman. Observing that a ruu in was inevitable the drovers were notified of the impending danger and urged to jump from the train. Three of them and the conductor and flagman succeeded in getting off before the crash occurred, but the fourth (Moses Blank, of Lehigh county,) became confused and was caught in the wreck and burned on severely that he died about an hour afterward. The engine of the second Harrisburg freight struck the rear car of the preceding train with muck violence, demolishing it, as well as two stock cars before it laden with horses. The locomotive (a new one) wan also badly wrecked. Soon after the cabin car was set on fire by burning oil from the headlight of the engine, and a scene of indescribable horror ensued. The drover had been thrown under one of the stock cars, his legs wedged between the wheels and the track. The flames were rapidly approaching him, but he had no means of escape and the horrified spectators were powerless to afford him assistance. Nome, ous efforts were made to extricate him, but the heat wen so intense that no progress could be effected. The fire soon reached his feet and gradually rested him. His sufferings were of the /neat excruciating character, and he loudly cried for help. At last the engine of the Altoona freight was ran to the spot, and through its instrumentality the sufferer was relaxed. He was removed to a neighboring house, and in about an hour he died from his terrible injuries. A wife and four children survive the deceased at Albertus, about twelve miles from -Allentown. _ _ In addition to the fatal burning of Mr. Blank two horses en one of the stock cars wrecked wore injured so badly that they had to be killed. . We are tot fully advised as to who is re sponsible for the accident, but it seems to be the impression that the EAgman of the first Harrisburg freight failed in the performance of his duty. A searching investigation should and no doubt will be instituted.—Patrist, March 6, IWI3. Oliver Cunningham has just received large quantities of Ready Made Clothing for gentle men and boys.

New Spring Styles. lr has often been said that the majority of people have no bead above their eyes—or, in other words, care more for pictures than for reading—and therefore only the consideratioa of expenses has !Alert° prevented the estab lishment of a daily illustrated newspaper in the City of New York. That difficulty has been removed, and The Daily Graphic has made its appearance with four pages of ad miral illustrations of art and currant events, and four pages of letter press containing the cream of the news and life pictures of the day. Of course this has not been accomplished by any of the old processes of woodcuts. Recent inventions in photography, and notably the, immediate transfer of photographic pictures! to stone : have cheapened and simplified the system of copying impressions. It is new possible to tales a printed engraving or an artist's sketch and have it transferred to the lithographic stone in from twenty minutes to two hours. The process is a secret with the Graphic Company : and cannot therefore be described. By its means the picture accom panies the compositor's work, so that the photographic or sketched counterpart of the last great event of which society is talking appears in The Daily Graphic with the ac count freah from the reporter's pencil. This would appear incredible but for the proof positive presented to our sight. All that the publishers promiseed has been fulfiled, and The Daily Graphic can not only hold the field against all competitors, but has new and promising fields to conquer. Its publishers will reap a golden harvest, but the public will none the less owe them a debt of gratitude. Their practical faith in the inventions under their control has brought the best fruits of I art within the means of the poor, and has given a spur to the highest style of journal ism. The Daily Graphic deserves the grand success it is sure to win. Gents' furnishing goods to supply the mil lion at Oliver Cunningham's in the late Broad Top Depot.

Eniroa:—Thinking that it might per haps, be interesting to some of the readers of the JOURNAL, especially to those who are in terested in the great temperance reform, to know how it is progressing in this part of the County, I therefore take the liberty to inform you of the movements. Previous to the call for a Convention to assemble in Huntingdon, the Citizens of Orbisonia had organized and were holding a series of meetings and trying to arouse the people to the importance of this great question. At the call of P. P. Dewees, one of the Committee appointed by the County Convention, a meeting was held in the new school house, near Rockhill, for the purpose of organizing in the Township so as to work in harmony and more effectually. Tie meet ing was called to order by electing J. R. Baker, Chairman, and T. 0. Cloyd, secretary-. P .P. Dewees favored the appointment of a Com mittee and on motion of E. Baker a committee of ten was appointed, one for each sub-dis trict of the Township, including the Borough, to make arrangements for holding meetings, procure speakers,•: getting out the vote, &c., of each district, on the 21st of March. After which, addresses were made by E. Baker, P. P. Dewees, J. R. Baker, and others on the evils ott the rum traffic. After Dewees had coughed up some half dozen tomahawks, about four feet of the tariff question and a pint of black strap molasses, he read an elab orate and well written essay onthe evils of in temperance, giving some of the statistics of the accursed rum traffic. Mr. Dewees is a thorough temperance man and as an evidence of the fact he intends to have a clause insert ed in the charter of the Rockhill Iron and coal Company, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks within the limits specified by the char ter. For once in the history of this great State the People have the privilege of saying wheth er this accursed traffic shall continue or not. On the 21st of March every good citizen throughout the County should go to the polls and east his vote in favor of local option, there should be no compromise about this matter. Your vote may be the cause of life or death to scores. If you vote in favor of ! cense, you virtually say by your act that we are not tired of these magazines of hell in our midst. That we do not care if it does cost this greet nation one hundred millions of dol lars annaally, for taxes to support Jails, Peni tentaries, Alms-Houses, Sc. That we do not care if it does send thirty thousand of our fellow men to a drunkards grave and a drunkards hell every year. That we do not care if it does make six hundred thousand drunken sots every year and as' many families miser able. That we do not care if it does make six hundred of our countryman insane every year. We have been waiting for the day when God shall tread upon and crush this mass of corruption that is robbing the earth of its beauty, and filling the land with mour ners until it shall be everlastingly and eter nally dead and now that time has come and as God works by means, let every voter use those means and crush one of the worst curses that ever fell upon our race. Now the uuestion is "licence or no license !" Vote yev and the lava-tide of death liver cottage, hall and bower, Shall roll its dark, blood erected war, While madness rules the bon:. Vote no and the white winged angel, Peace, Shall dwell in the drat:a:lard's home And beams of temperance, troth and light. Dispel the withering gloom. Vote no ! and the mother's heart shall leap : The sister's eye be dry, The poor inebriate clasp his bands, And raise his role, on high. By the cherished heart's great wrong By the spirit's deathless woo— In the name of God and the name of man, Let every Tote be NO.- Letter from Mill Creek. MILL CREEK, March 5, 1815 Ma. Emvoa:—The citizens of the enter prising little town of lit. Uunion, have been entertained several times, during the past win ter, by their Dramatic Association. Having heard several persons speak very favorably of previous entertainments, we concluded to lend our presence and our "quarter," on the evening of the 28th ult. Sending our belov ed spouse there in the morning to visit some friends, we prepared to follow in the evening. Taking our seat in the cars, with some half dozen or more companions, we were soon fly ing along the Juniata, and ere we were aware of it, Mr. Brakeman put his head in at the door and with a screaah that would have done credit to a Shawnee Indian, announced that we had arrived at our destination. After having partaken of a bountiful supper, we started on a stroll through town with a friend, who by the way is a member of the medical fraternity, and a whole-souled gentleman. We stepped into the storo of Miller Os Black, where we met our old time friend, John the senior partner of the firm, and had a wag of his "paw." John's smiling face is good for week nerves, but the way he sells goods is good for a weak purse. While there we smoked one of his best segars, at his expense of course, also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shafer, editor of the Mt. Union Times About 7 o'clock we wended our way to Na tional Hall, which was soon to be the scene of comedy and tragedy, never before equaled. We found the hall already crowded so much that, we .with difficulty, secured seats, al though aided by a gentlemanly usher, and yet they came until every nook and corner wae filled to overflowing. TLe would-be en tertainment was opened with music by the string band, followed by a Farce, entitled "Ticket Taker," and, we, are sorry to say, that the entire performance was a contemp tible farce throughout, not so much on the part of the Dramatic Association, as it was on the part of the audience. After the per formance the agent ceased selling tickets, then there was a rush of “dead heads" who, judgieg from their actions, had imbibed freely of bad whiskey, and not being very gentle manly at best, they were doubly obnoxious when under the influence of King Alcohol. There followed a scene of confusion as is rarely witnessed in• a civilized community. Talking, laughing, dancing and swearing mingled in the wildest confusion until not a word was audible. The managers attempted to restore order bat all to no purpose. Ladies were insulted with impunity and in the most outrageous manner. Many desired to leave the room but the aisles were blocked up by these rowdies so tliat egress was next to impossible. The geed name of lit. Union has suffered ie. merely and their entertainments had better be discountinned unless there are measures taken to preserve order. Respectable citizens do not desire the company of drunken rowdies, nor do ladies desire the indiscriminate kissing of a debauchee in a Public Hall. Let Mt. Union redeem itself before it gives another entertainment. Yours, Truly. 28,430 Notes from Coffee • Run COFFEE &TY, March 5, 1873. EDITOR JOURNAL: Dear Sir :—I see in the last Globe that the great and good Reverend (?) editor of that paper tries to show who defeated lion. A. A. Barker. He, the immaculate (?) Gass, charges the defeat of Mr. Barker upon the Scott and Orladywing of the party ! Now does any sane man believe this story? I think not. I would like to know whether the Brig adier General of the Literati thinks the honest: voters of the Republican party don't know that the Male ticket that the "Ratties" and Democrats set up to defeat the whole, or at 'least a great part, of the regularly nominated ticket of theßepublican Convention had some thing to do with it? I know what I say when I state that I have seen men belonging to this Ring trade off a vote for Governor to secure a vote for Constable. This was done three years ago in a certain district, in this county, and I at the same place, one year later, from three to five votes for Mr. Morrell were traded for one vote tor Poor Director. From such Re publicans, we may well say, "Good Lord de liver us." I do think the great (?) and good(?) editor of the Mule organ should be careful whom he throws mud at. I hope he will not compel Hen. John Scott to resign ! • There is another matter I want to say a word about : I would like to knew whether the Temperance Convention was only in fun in appointing their local committees to see that the temperance voters are got out to the polls to vote on the Local Option question ? if so they have got the right men, as I was told that, iu a great many districts, they appointed two rummies to one temperance man ' whether this is so, of course, I do not know, but I have been told that in certain locations, some of the committees have been waited on and urged to call meetings and get the people aroused to the work, but thus far nothing has been done. I hope all will end well, but it looks to me as if a big blunder had been cemmitted. Nothing more at present. .1 VOTER. Wanted to Know. The "upper end" wants to know where the County Superintendent of Common Schools is. The school term is almost closed and no visits, Where is be ' Florco Beavertown Heard From. MR. EDITOR:—So many fellows are asking whether you have ever heard from this, that or the other place, that I must ask you wheth er you know where Beavertown is? If you don't, I will tellyou. It is away down Trough Creek Valley, in the edge of Tod township, near where the old McClain mill used to stand. This old establishment has been torn down by Mr. Cook and a handsome new brick mill built iu its stead. It is doing a splendid business. Thomas Mansbarger runs it and people take his capital flour in all directions. Beavertown has a population of thirty. A store and a school house are the only places efpub lie resort. A church is• within convenient distance. Things look a little dull here. We have no prospects of a railroad but we live in hopes. This is all for the present. B. C. L. HUNTINGDON MARKETS.
