ROASTED TO DEATH. 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,

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.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Letter from Orbisonia.
MR. 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.

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.

The Great Jlehicuement of the .Nineteenth

THE DAILY GRAPHIC.
ALL THE NEWS AND FULL OF PICTURES
The Daily Graphic is the title of a newspaper, published
in New York, which is achieving the most remarkable
journalistic success ever chronicled. It is an eight•page
evening paper (three editions daily), elegantly printed,
and conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable.
As a newspaper The Daily Graphic stands in the first
rank, and contains regularly
The Very Latevt <tad Falieet Pow all parte
of the World.
Its great feature consists in the fact that it is not only
a newspaper, but in iilustrated newspaper as well. Your
of its pages are filled with choice reading matter—tele
grams, editorials, general and local sows, items, gossip,
and correspondence on the freshest and most interesting
tcpics. The remaining four pagus consist of
• SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS,
executed in the most faultless and artistic sty le, and por
truying accurately and fully all leading events within
twenty-four hours after their occurrence. Those who
have made Journalism a study, and fully appreciate the'
great enterprise manifested in the collection and pap
cation of news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presitds,
and the development of journalistic talent, have been loud
of advancing the theory that the next advance In that
field would result in a newspaper furnishing in its rega
l.ar issued pictures of all current prominent events. That
theory is a theory no longer; the newspaper of the future
is the newspaper of today, and that is The Daily Graphic,
The protease, which render this marvel/out achievement
an existing fact are the resnit of the most careful study
andel, endless variety of experiments, gradually perfected,
during the past twelve years. They depend upon im
provements iu lithographic camera. By their aid a pic
ture is engraved and made ready to print in from twenty
minntes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works
of art, scenes of interest, are produced and pictured forth
with equal finality and the moat scrupulous fidelity. il
lustrations of eeding events are engraved for the press
even before the accompanying written narrative or des
cri pH?n leaves the hands of the compositor.
