The Huntingdon Journal. Wednesday Morning, March 19, 1871 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. LOCAL. AND PERSONAL. Brief Mention--Home-Made an d Stolen Spring. Blue birds, People are preparing to flit. Everybody, vote no license. Centre county has spotted fever. Port & Friedly hhve a new sign. Drunks were numerous on Saturday night. Greenwood Furnaces employ about 300 hands. The wind was on a high on Saturday night and Sunday. J. G. Covert, of Mt. Union, becomes n. citizen of this place is the Spring. Don't forget the "Silsby Troupe" en Thurs day, Friday and Saturday nights. James M. Rosensteel, of Mt. Union, removes to Johnstown on the first of April. A horse blanket was stolen from the stable of Lee T. Wilson, a week or so ago. The loek-up was tenanted, on Friday after. noon, by a benzined disciple of Faust. One of the bridges over the "Little Juniata," above Spruce Creek, is being repaired. Mt. Union is very much exercised over a project to make a walk to the Town Hall. Wagner & Shaffner will accept our thanks for a roast and steak. They keep the best of meats. "Gospel Bill" affords a splendid view of Al toona. But the wind strikes keenly .around there in March. A large amount of Real Estate has changed hands, regardless of the scarcity of money, in Shaver's Creek Valley. The Broad Top operators continue to give Mr. Gage praise for his new order of thingsand his skillful management. We learn from the Times that forty-eight shares of stock, of the Mt. Union Building and Loan Association, have been taken. The new depot is a great improvement. The railroad company will soon make every thing ..look as gay as a peach ix that locality. We are under obligations, to our friend Hackett, of the Tribune, for handsome courte sies. Come this way and we will reciprocate. The Council should take measures at once to fill up fifth street, so that the depot can be reached directly from the diamond of the town The Huntingdon Gas Company presented a splendid Silver Trumpet to the Fire Company. The boys will feel proud of this handsome tes timonial The wind, on Saturday night and Sunday, did considerable damage. it is stated that a new frame dwelling was capsized in West Huntingdon. On Thursday 2,5'39 eight wheel ears passed 3lifflin, middle division of the Pennsylvania railroad. This freight shipment has not been equaled for years. If our Fire Company wants to see something handsome in the engine house line we would advise them to visit the quarters of the Vigi 'ants of Altoona. Only one of the Greenwood Furnaces is in blast. It yields 37 tons of charcoal iron per week. The other will be put in blast about the middle of May. Richard Langdon, Esq., is going to occupy Broad Top corner. He is having things fixed up splendidly. He means business and he knows how to do it. A week or two ago some vagabond entered the residence of A. It. Stewart,Esq., after mid_ night. Fortunately a member of the family confronted him and be lied. Lock your doors• Quite a spirited revival of religion has been in progress, in the United Brethern church, in West Huntingdon, for some weeks past. Large number of persons have been turned from their evil ways. Adolph Opel, of Black Log Valley, mourns the loss of a dog, weighing 125 lbs., killed by the cars in Mt. Union, the other day. He was only fit for sausage meat after the cars had done the work. Au alarm of fire on Sunday last, brought out the fire company. Fire was discovered in Leister's building opposite the railway build ing. A little effort quenched it and the boys returned the machine. The editor of the Times don't like our allu sion to Mt. Union's contemplated financial in provement. We only advertise another man's business when paid for it. Hope you got twelve cents per line. We had the pleasure of a visit of William H.. Wooer, Esq., superintendent of the Green wood Furnaces. He is a very clever and bu siness like gentleman. He is a live to the hest interests of his section. We will take back all we said about Graw last week. He is still at his post on No. 16, on Broad Top, where we hope he will remain for the nes. decade. He is one of the most careful engineers in the State. The Times of last week says:—' , A. man by the name of Shafer, who was working in Mr. Robley's Sand Quarry, above Mapleton, was struck by a passing train, on last Saturday, and so badly injured that he cannot recover On Saturday last two engines collided be low the gas tank and were badly damaged, A third ran into the caboose car of the west era-bound train and threw it and several cars off the track. It all came of running ahead of Would it not be advisable for the Broad Top coal operators to combine together to furnish a sufficient number of cars for their own use? Or net jointly to furnish them by some eth er method ? It strikes us that this ought to be done. There appears to be a great defficiency of motive power, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The coal operators of both the Broad Top and Clearfield regions are complaining fearfully. They cannot work to more than one•half of their capacity. A large number of persons attended thefree concert given, by Prof. Jones and his class, in the Presbyterian Church, at Shaver's Creek bridge, one 'evening last week. Everybody .appeared to be pleased. At the close of the concert, D. C. Hamilton handsomely compli mented the Professor. One day last week, says the Times, a horse belonging to Fisher Postblewait, used to cart dirt on the East Broad Top Railroad, not ob serving the commands of his driver, backed over the edge of a bank 20 feet high, precipi tating horse and cart to the bottom. The horse was somewhat injured and the cart con siderably broken. Two or three weeks ago Mrs. Capt. W. L. Neff, of Williamsburg, Blair county, and sev eral friends went on a visit to a sister living near Rome, Georgia. At Rome a connection was missed and the party were taken on a hand car. Mrs. Neff took cold, from the effects of which she died in a few days afterwards. The body will be interred, at Williamsburg, to•day (Tuesday.) Great complaint is made along the line of the Broad Top Railroad on account of the de lay experienced in the receipt of the New York and Baltimore mails. These mails reach here by the Pacific Express, which frequently fails to make a close connection, consequently the mails are delayed twenty-four hours. If the mails reached here by the Southern Express the whole difficulty would be obviated. We find the following handsome compliment of an old friend, Mrs. Ogle, in the Johnstown Echo:—"Mrs. Ogle, W. U. telegraph operator, at this place, deserves credit for the victory she has gained over the knowing ones who predicted her failure, by the rapidity and ac curacy with which she receives the Asocia ted Press dispatches for the ' , Tribune." Mrs. Ogle is the only operator in the United States who has the ability and nerve to undertake so difficult a work." COLORED JURORS.—The following ex tract is from the charge of Judge Hall to the Grand Jury of Bedford county, at the February sessions. It is in relation to colored jurors, and what his honor addressed to i i he Bedford county Grand Jury on the subject is equally applicable to our own county: For many years, extending into the past as far as my professional life, and beyond it, per haps, as far as any of our memories, there has been no colored man summoned as a juror in any Pennsylvania Court, until within the last few years. Growing out of the late war waged by the slaveholders In rebellion against the Government of the United States, there was enacted in 1865 an amendment to the National Constitution abolishing slavery. This was the 13th amendment. Soon after, the 14th amendment was ratified, by which it was provided that no State should enact any law abridging the privileges and immunities of any citizen of the United States. This was speedily followed by the 15th amendment, providing that no man should be denied the right to vote on account of color. Therefore, by the highest enactment of human law, all men are equal before the law, and colored men are "qualified electors." The State law provides, it shall be the duty of the Jury Commissioners and President Judge or Additional Law Judge, or a majority of them to select "from the qualified electors of the county at large" the designated number of 'sober, intelligent and judicious persons to serve as jurors.' The Constitution of Pennsylvania provides that all officers shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the State and to perform the duties of their office with fidelity. In addition to this oath the jury Commis sioners swear "to use their utmost endeavors and diligence in making an impartial selec tion of competent persons for jurors during the year, and not to suffer partiality, favor, affection, hatred, malice or in any re aped whatever, to influence them in the selec tion of jurors." The jury Commissioners or Judge, there- fore, who would refuse to put in the name of a qualified elector, simply because of the color of the skin, when be was otherwise qualified, would violate his oath of office. As well might he refuse to put in a man because of his religion, or of his nativity, or because he bad red hair. Every fair and impartial person, who wishes well to his country, desires to obey the law. No doetrine was more clearly taught by the Savior of mankind when on earth than that of strict obedience to the law. "Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, rend er unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." In a Government of the People, revereaee for law is the very cornerstone of the edifice. There can be no enduring government with out it. We may not like the Constitution and - the laws. If we do not, we have a right to vote in favor of a change by amendment in the regularly constituted mode. But as long as any provision is the established law, no citi zen is at liberty to disobey it; much lees an officer of the law acting under the edema sanction of an oath. It would not only be a violation of his oath for a Jury Commissioner to deliberately and designedly exclude a man's name from the wheel simply because of his color, if he is otherwise qualified, but it would be a misde meanor in office. And all parties aiding and abetting therein would be criminally responsi ble. Moreover, the Attorney at law who would single a man out and persistently challenge hire for sole reason of his color would violate his oath and law. The novelty of having a colored man on apan nel of j urors having attracted general attention, and some newspaper comments, we have deemed it a matter of importance that you, gentlemen, and all other officers of the law, shall understand the law, axd what would amount to violations of it. It is a mistake to regard this matter as one of sentiment, or in clination, or prejudice, orpartisan feeling. It has advanced from that, so far at least as all officers of the law are concerned, into the do main that is governed by solemn oaths and by constituted laws.

THE ORIGIN OF BLOODY RUN.—Sam eel Evans, of Columbia, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in a letter addressed to the Press, gives the following account of the origin of the name of Bloody Run which has passed in to history and in the future will only be known by the name of Everett : The following I find going the rounds of the public press of this State : "The town of Bloody Run, in Bedford county, has changed its name to Everett City. The original name came from an affair in 1765 be tween traders from Philadelphia, Who were taking supplies to Fort Pitt, and a party of settlers, which was magnified into a massacre by London papers." • This account of the origin of the name of that place is not correct. There was an affair as stated in that year with which the Indians had nothing to do. In the spring of 1763 while a company of Indian Traders were encamped upon the banks of the stream now known as "Bloody Run" they were surprised at night by hostile Indi ans belonging to the Shawnees, Delaware and Huron Tribes, members of the confederation of six nations of Indians. A number of per sons attached to the train, were massacred and an immense amount of peltries and me, chandiso destroyed, amounting to £85,906. Some of the traders were thrown into jail for debts where they died. At a conference with the six nations of Indians held at 'Johnson's Hall' at 'Fort Stanwix' the subject of this massacre was brought before them, and it was agreed that a full congress of all the tribes belonging to the six nations, should be held to consider the matter. This congress did not sovene until Nov., 1768. It met at "Fort Stanwix," and was one of the most important ever held with the Indians. The Indians made restitution to these traders, by granting them a tract of land upon the Ohio, between the Monongahela River and Little Kanawha, in Va. His majesty George the Third confirmed this grant by patent. There are . climeendants of some of these tra ders now living in Lancaster county. The traders numbered twenty-two. Their names were Robert Callender, David Franks, Joseph Simons, Levy Andrew Levy,Philp Boyle, John Baynten, Samuel Wharton, George Morgan, Joseph Spear, Thomas Smallman, John Welsh, Edmund Moran, Evan Shelby, Samuel Pos lethwait, John Gibson, Richard Winston, Den nis Crohon, William Thompson, Abraham Mitchel, James Dundas, John Armstrong and Alexander Lowery. Col. William Trent, of Carlisle, and a prom inent man in his time, was the attorney for these traders, to whom the deed was made. A full and complete history of this massa cre, and the efforts of these traders to get possession of the grant of land, can be found in a book called "A View of the Title to Indi ans," and a tract call the "Plain Facts." They may be seen in the "Philadelphia Library." Supposing this subject might have some lo cal interest, I have given a correct account of the affair from which your place derived its name.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE• Address of the Temperince County Comunfttie, To the Voters of Huntingdon County.—The Legislature having authorized the people to vote on Friday March 21st, 1873, on the ques• tion of License, we respectfully present a few thoughts upon this important question and ask your earnest consideration. It is unnecessary to argue that intemperance is a terrible curse, bringing unmeasured woe upon man ; all admit that fact, even the most extreme advocates of liquor. There ' is not a liquor roan in the State butwhat will candidly admit 'that the excessive use of liquordegrades man to a level with the beast. And yet with these plain undisputed facts so apparent the law for many years has fostered andprotected the foundation cause of it all, viz, in licensing the traffic in liquor; giving a select few in every community a legal and lawful authority to deal in that which causes intemperance, and permit them under the sanction of law to openly present temptation that irresistably draws thousands of our best citizens into in temperance. To remedy the evil the last leg islature directed the people to vote upon the question of lecense, rightly divining that where a major ity of the people by their votes would condemn the system, the publie sentiment would be strong enough to enforce the laws against illicit liquor selling. And there fore the question comes squarely 'to you, voters, whether in our County of Hun tingdon license shall be granted to con tinue to make hundreds of our people in temperate. if you would keep these temp tations wide open, to allure the youth to ruin and shame, to destroy the peace of families and make heart-broken wives and siarving children; to doable the taxes, build larger prisons and fill up the poor house, vote "for license." But if you would save your chil dren from the crime of drunkeness, if you would seeure your own personal safety, and , your wives and daughters Lam the insulting ' language of besotted men crazed with drink; if you would have peace and security and pros perity, vote "Against License." In voting against license you do not vote against hotels and eating houses, you vote only against the granting of the privilege to sell liquor. Ho tels will be far better than with license, for they will not then be surrounded with a vi cious, drunken crowd of lazy loafers. In Potter County, in this State there has been no license granted for twenty years past. Hon. J. S. Mann, many years a member of the Leg islature, and now in the Constitutional Con vention, in a public letter, says : "There is no open violation of the law, and the consumption of strong drink has decreased very materially in consequence of our prohibition ofthe traffic. Decidedly the best hotels ever kept in the County have been opened since licenses were refused, there is no shadow of ground for any lack of good hotels should license to sell liquor be withheld. Not a single interst of our Coun ty has suffered from no license policy. Crime of all grades has decreased as is abundantly proved by the examination of the records of our criminal courts. With more than double the population, there is less than half the DRUNK ENNESS that existed under the license system. Our jail is without an inmate more than half the time. We have no poor house; eaehtown ship takes care of its own poor, so that it is difficult to get at the exact figures upon that subject, but from the best information to be obtained, I find but eight persons in this coun are receiving a support as a town charge." Columns of testimony could be produced showing the decrease of Grime and pauperism in counties and districts where there is no li cense. Remember, Fellow Citizens, the great re sponsibilities that cluster around your vote. Vote "for license" and the open temptation continues to allure its victims. Vote "for license" and when you say the bloated, reel ing drunkard, feel and say—l voted for that. When you learn of families abused, the heart and hope of the wife crushed, the children ignorant and imhruted by the father's drunk enness say and feel—l voted for that. When you see the prison and poor house filled, the taxes increased, and riot running wild, say and feel—l voted for that. You cannot es cape that responsibility, except by voting "AGAINST LICENSE." When by all the promptings of your true manhood, work and vote “AGAINST LICENSE," by every feeling of self interest and self pro tection vote “AttAtssv LICENSE, by all the fearful warnings of the past, ever looming up with the sad spectacle of ruined and wrecked lives, and burdened with its weight of crime and misery, vote AGAINST LICENSE." In conclusion, we desire to warn all voters, against the many false.stories that are put in circulation to distract the attention from the true issue. No doubt there will he wild stories at every election poll, that the law has been repealed, that there will be no hotels in the county, that if no license is carried, then eyery person will have the right to sell liquor. Be lieve no such stories; they are only started to delude thoughtless people out of their votes. It is not possible for anything to occur to stop or postpone the election, and the other stories are so absurd, that no sinking man should be deceived by them. S. B. HENRY, Ch. Co. Com J. R. SIMPSON, }Secretaries J. HALL MUSSER, John Logan, the Honest (?) Steward of the Huntingdon County Alms House! MR. EDITOR see that John Logan (his signature, but the letter written by the great moralist, G. W. W.,) has seen fit to make an ungentlemanly and personal attack on an through the Globe, and if you will allow it I would like to reply. John accuses us of writing letters to the JOURNAL, over the signature of "tax-payer," exposing some of his nice bargains, which let ters, Mr. "Tax•payer,' made John feel very uncomfortable; so much so that John went to Huntingdon intending to sue somebody for libel, (so he said before he left home,) but we presume he forgot to. He came home, called a council of the "faithful," told them he had been to Huntingdon, went to Durborrow and threatened him with prosecution if he did not produce the original name of 'tax-payer; Durborrow "got seared" and out came the name, and behold ! it was Dr. Gehrett. So John says—this is all we know about it. The "faithful," under this supposition, *went to work, and an exhaustive article (which Logan says was to completely annihilate Gehrett) was the result. This was done two weeks ago, if we can believe Logan. Well, the arti cle is in this week's Globe. A perfect "scorch er." We don't quite know whether we are "done for" or not. We suppose G. W. W. thinks so. Well, John, if you are as honest as you pre tend to be, why do you lie? You say that I was not a resident of this place when MeNite was appointed physician of the Poor House. I deny it. I returned from Clearfield in March 1872. The appointments were made in Octo ber, 1872. If I was not a resident of the place why did you go to William Harvey a week or so before the delegate election last fall, and tell him that it was your intention to do ail you could to have me appointed physician ? Who asked you to give your influence in that way? Did you not do it expecting him (Har vey) to vote for your delegates ? It wouldn't win, would it? Did you not know it was a false promise? Or did you, for the time, for get you had keepers? Why don't you answer the direct charges preferred against you by "tax-payer," instead of propounding a lot of silly questions to me? You do the next best thing yon can, that is to get some one else to write an article and you sign your name to it denying the whole. Of course, the people will believe it. I like your way of replying to "tax-payer" by propound ing questions to another party. I do not think your silly questions worth replying to, as they are only gotten up for buncombe to lead per sons from Poor House affairs. Yet if you have any great desire to see my diploma, call at the office and I will try and enlighten you in re gard to all the questions proposed. My army record also. McNite is recognized by the County Medical Society, is he? (A shrewd advertisement.) I don't know whether lam or not, and don't care. I never asked admis sion of them, consequently they never refused me. I am, however, recognized by as digni fled (not speaking disrespectfully of the Hun tingdon County Society) and influential a bo dy. The people here also recognize me. If I have no qualifications for the practice of medi cine, why are the Poor House Doctor's pa tients coming to me daily for treatment? I am doing fine, friends. My practice is suffi. l cient to keep me out of. "the mud" without getting whiskey by the barrel and retailing it out. How much, Mr. W., did you swill into you out of the last barrel, when at work on "the great letter ?" I am not "hard up," no executions after me yet, none followed me from my last place of residence. I keep a warm stove, John, and an extra chair for friends. 30,982 Now, John. as you are such an extraordina ry honest man, why did you offer to pay the fare of Mr. Messerman and wife to McVeytown last fall if he would stay till after the dele gate election ? And did you not ask a Repub lican to vote your mixed ticket ? Did not the man say that "he was a Republican ?" and you in reply say that "we are all mixed up togeth er this fall ?" Did not yen ask or tell certain merchants that if they would help you that you "would make it all right ?" 1 will let "tax-payer" answer for himself, at least what pertains to him, which no doubt he will do in good time. As for myself I try to do my own writing. If Ido need any assistance it may be to spell gourd. I thank you, John, for your advise. If I get tired of my company I will try on your "fixins," if you give "boot," but at present I will not take any of "yours" in mine. In con clusion, I presume John Logan will affix that awful signature of his to anything that the "Literati ring" will ask. Yours, &c. B. F. GEHIIETT Shirleysburg, March 13, 1873. The New School House Project. MR. EDITOU :-Allow me space to say a few words under your appropriate heading—" The Voice of the People"—in favor of the new school house movement. I am surprised and mortified to learn that there are men of character .and intelligence, who oppose the erection of a new and comfort able school house for our little ones. The meanest stable in the town is better adapted to the stock housed in it than the stable on the bill for our children. Just think of crowd ing ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX poor, helpless little beings into one room not large enough to accommodate one-half the number properly! Here they are huddled together like sheep, without proper ventilation and without sufficient accommodations. Is it not strange, indeed, that pestilence has not swept away the half of our innocents ? The man who can see this condition of affairs almost every school day of his life, if he will take the trouble to visit the schools, and who will op pose a new building, must desire the deliber ate murder of our children. God spare the children The point selected, by the Directors, is a central one, and will accommodate the town for many years to come. It is ten or fifteen feet higher than the natural sewer, Muddy Run, and call be drained much more readily than private lots are drained on the principal streets. It will not be hampered by other buildings and will not receive the cold blasts of winter nor the scorching slate reflections of summer without shelter of a hospitable tree. Let us have a Peoples' College that will be a credit to the place, where abecedarians can enter and in the coarse of a few years gradu ate fully prepared for any of the various occu pations or professions of life. Twenty-one years has given the borough a title, by pre scription, to the old ground beyond all con troversy, and the authorities can sell it for more money than the new will cost. Let every man who loves his children vote for the Directors who are in favor of a new school house. A VOTEIC. Ridding the Party of War Democrats. Enron JonaNAL.—An article appeared in the Globe, from Trough Creek, dated Febru ary 10, signed "Life long Republican," con taining a request that the Globe would rid the Republican party "of all white-washed dem ocrats who seek to control it." The evident meaning is that all persons, who were once democrats, are now to suffer a political death, no matter what may have been their useful ness, during the War—no matter how many Union Democrats lost their fives in trying to save our county from ruin. Memory viv idly recalls those long dark years of strife and blood shed, and, now that class are to be wiped out of the Republican party and to be deprived of all their nobly earned honors. This is similar to old Knownothing ism. None but Republicans are to receive any honors, office, or place of trust. Large num bers of those who were democrats from birth and remained so until the war was waged upon us, and from the time the tiring com menced on Fort Sumpter, until the cessation of hostilities made every sacrifice to save the country. We have good men inside the party, in this county, who were democrats formerly, and since have been firmest Repub can voters in the party. The expression certainly does evince a narrow-minded, un christian and selfish office-seeking spirit, and appears to be clearly factional. Let the people rule and not factions. As a farmer and citizen of Trough Creek from childhood, I am forced to say, the appel ation "Potato region" is not coveted. We do claim to produce a superior quality of pota toes, but do not claim to he the "potato hole" of the county, on the contrary we might claim the name of the "Osceola" of the coun ty, having three Steam Saw Mills in opera tion in our midst, furnishing for the market, as good a quality of yellow pine as can be found in the State. Agreeable to your "boiling down" request, I am, REPUBLICAN, JR. Calvin, March 12, 1873. County Superintendent Overhauled. Me. EDITOR :-It has become proverbial that the "School Tax is the best tax." We cannot indorse this withoutamendmeat. We think the school tax is the best tax pro vided, always, that it is properly expended ; but so long as there is such a misapplication of this levy on the people we respectfully beg leave to non concur. We cannot indorse a measure that takes the hard earned wages from the laboring man and applies them to an al most useless purpose. We do not consider it just that men should derive their subsistence from others without rendering them a full and just equivalent. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars" and you are merely do ing an act of justice, but render unto Caesar that which does not belong to him and for which he does not render an equivalent and you commit an act of robbery. "The laborer is worthy of his hire" and is justly entitled to his wages provided he renders a full equiva lent in work, otherwise not, and it is very sel dom that a laborer gets more than be canjust ly call his own having given a full equivalent for it in manual laborer. All this is required at his hands, then why not require it of those who act in officio] capacity? It is an overt act of fraud to pay a man, oat of the public funds, more than a just remuneration for his services, and I contend that the County Su perintendency, as conducted in this county, and I elsewhere is a fraud of this character. It is a fraudulent expenditure of money to pay a man a salary of $lOOO per annum for the little use less labor performed by the County Superin tendent. It is a crying abuse of the public trust of any officer to ;brink his duty. The people demand labor at his hands. It is a mel-practice for a County Superintendent to spend only from one-half to one hour in each school during the entire term, but then he receives a salary of $lOOO per annum and is above associating with a poor pedant. Be-1 sides this he must exercise the functions of his exalted station in hunting down the poor pedagogues because, fbr sooth, they did not I attend that great humbug the County Institute, and see him spreading himself as presiding' officer of that learned body. Mr. Superiaten dent we did receive pay for the institute days. Do you want us to disgorge on amount of this dereliction ? We will whenever you perform your full measure of duty, but so long as the "boss" is dilatory in the performance of his official duties he ought not ask us to pay the last full measure of devotion in our pedantic relations. "Toe the scratch" and we are with you in every good word and work but we don't like to hear the pot calling the kettle black- foot. Yours, &c. KRINO. Mill Creek, March 13th, 1873. HUNTINGDON MARKETS.

The Great .11ehieventent of the Nineteenth Century. THE DAILY GRAPHIC. ALL THE SEWS 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 eTening paper (three editions daily), elegantly printed, and conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable. • Ana newspaper The Daily Graphic atom& in the firm rank, and contains regularly The Very Latest and Fullest News from all ',arta of the World. Its great feature consists in the fact that it is not only a newspaper, but an iilustmted newspaper as well. Four of its pages are filled with choice reading matter—tele grams, editorials, general and local news, items, gossip, and correspondence on the freshest and most interesting topics. The remaining fear pages consist of SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS, executed in the most faultless and artistic et) le, and por traying 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 publi cation of news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presses, and the development of journalistic talent, have been fond ofadvancing the theory that the next advance in that field would result in a newspaper furnishing in its raga lar issues 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 processes which render this marvellous achievement an existing act are the result of the most careful study andan endless variety of experiments, gradually perfected during the past twelve years. They depend upon tea provements In lithographic camera. By their aid a pic ture is engraved and made ready to print in from twenty minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plat., works of art, scenes of interest, are produced and pictured forth with equal facility and tt,e most scrupulous fidelity. Il lustrations of leading events are engraved for the press even before the accompanying written narrative or des cription leaves the hands of the compositor. For the proper prooboul working of so great an enter prim, THE GRAPHIC COMPANY was formed with a capital of $600,000 in gold, months and months before the first Dove of the The Daily Graphic, the most exten sive preparations were made, and to-day THE GRAPHIC COMPANY has The Largeat and Moat Complete Newspaper Es— tabliehmento in the United States. In the great work of illustrating the events of the day an extensive corps of the best known and most accom plished artists are constantly engaged. The Daily Graphic aims to be in its strictest sense a newspaper. Striving always to be just and truthful, it discusses all questions independently and impartially. It is not the organ otany party, sect, or creed. It is al ways high-toned, and contains nothing to offend :my taste. Its contents give it an immense advantage over the "old fashioned" papers. The annual subscriber gets a Pictorial History of the Year, a volume of twenty-four hundred pages, constituting a valuable record of events and a graphic panorama of our time and progress. It possesses not merely a local interest, but is a paper for every render of the language. It is, emphatically, the paper for the Household. Terms, 512 per year, or $3 for three months.

EXCELSIOR.- Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines are considered superior to all others before the American public for the speedy and certain cure of the diseases for which they are recommended. Invalids, try them, and be convinced of the truth of what we assert. It is but ten months since they were first offered to the public, and to-day they are sold by first-class Druggists and Merchants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, the Virginias, Ohio,lndiana, and the District of Columbia. Surely tey are not humbugs or they would'nt be so highly commended by the intelli gence of the most powerful states in all this fair land. They are classified so as to meet the most difficult diseases for which they are offered, not one medicine for all the diseases humanity is heir to. The Magic Balm cannot fail to cure C .aghs and Colds if used ac cording to directions. For all diseases arising from impurities in the blood use the THE INDIAN VEGETABLE Restorative and Blood Purifier, THE SAMSON OIL need only be tried to convince any one that it will cure Cramp Colin, Bunions, etc. The Hepatica Pills• are an Alternative Cathartic, and should be used in every family.
