A PLEASANT AFFAIR.—At the late
session of the Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence, of the M. E. Church, held in Chambers
burg, a very interesting presentation took
place. The preachers of the Altoona District
recognized the ability and faithful service of
their Presiding Elder, Rev. J. S. MeMurray,
who bad completed four years in the District,
determined to set a watch upon him in the
future. They accordingly purchased a hand
some chronometer from the popular and re
liable establishment of Bailey & Co., Philadel
phia, and made the recent session of the Con
ference the time of completing their arrange
ments. On Wednesday evening, March sth,
they met in the prayer meeting room of the
11. E. Church and ofganized by calling Rev.
Thos. Barnhart to the chair. The object of
the meeting was then stated. It was the in
tention to arrange for the presentation to
take place at a later date, but the reverend
gentleman happening to be in an adjacent
room he was immediately sailed in, and Rev.
Win. H. Dill, after a few appropriate remarks
handed over an open case, containing a plain
and valuable Gold Watch. It is the opinion
of those present, that for the first time,' Bro.
McMurray was overcome. His moistened eye
told £he deep feeling,of his heart sad the few
worcrs he uttered in response, expressed the
language of his soul. All were happy, but
above all, the retiring Presiding Elder, felt
that he was among his brethren and enjoyed
their confidence and love. • It is proper to
say that one preacher not in the district, Rev.
James C. Clark, and two laymen, of Altoona,
J. W. Webber and E. B. MsCrum, voluntarily
participated in this pleasant surprise.
Before the meeting adjourned, it was "Re
solved, That an account of the presentation be
published in all the papers of the Alteona
District." THOMAS BARNHART, Chairman.
W. 0. CUNNINGHAM, formerly of this
place, connected with the large, 'well-lighted
and popular house of Hood, Bonbright & Co.,
Nos. 811, 813, 815 Market street, Philadelphia,
extends a cordial invitation to the merchants
of Huntingdon county to call, during the pre
sent season, and examine the immense stock
of Domestic and Foreign Dry Goods, Notions,
Carpets, Oil Cloths, Ac., before making their
Spring purchases. The reputation of this
house is II sure guarantee to merchants that
they will be honorably dealt with, and our
young friend Cunningham will sell goods so
cheap that it will pay handsomely to buy from
him. Don't fail to go and see him.
A FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON BROAD TOP.
—The Accommodation Over a Thirty Feet Em
bankment—Nobody Dangerously Bart.—The
late thaw and rains have made railroaling, ex
tremely dangerous and unsafe. The frost com
ing out of the ground is an element of dan
ger which railroaders regard with much anx
ious interest but, when it is coupled with rain,
it is doubly so. On last Saturday morning as
the Accommodation, which leaves Bedford at
5 o'clock, was passing, a few yards to the
north of Clark's Cut, about one mile south of
Saxton, on the Broad Top, the passenger car
leaped to the east side of the track, owing
to the flange of the front truck striking the
centre of a rail, which evidently was moved
from its position by the engine or baggage
ear ; owing no doubt, to the soft condition of
the earth and ties. The coupling broke nod
the ear careened to the west and went over
an embankment of thirty feet and upwards.
It turned over three times and lodged before
reaching the river. There were from twelve
to fifteen passengers on board at the time.
We have not been able to learn the names of
all of them, as quite a number passed on
through this place, without stopping. Among
the injured were Conductor Will. Lougenec
ker, Martin V. Zeth, of Hopewell, and old gen
tleman named Yeager, of Liberty township
Bedford county. These were the most severly
injured. ConductorLongenecker had his shoul
der dislocated and his nose broken. His in
juries were the most severe. All the ethers
were more or less bruised. There was only
one lady on beard who had charge of a couple
of small children. The lady's face was badly
braised, but neither of the children was hurt.
The officers of the road, with Drs. A. B. Brum
baugh and Kelly, repaired to the .cene of dis
aster and everything was promptly done to
relieve the wounded. Our friend, Will Scott,
was on board and had just stepped, a few mo
ments before, into the baggage car to take a
smoke, when he heard a grating noise and
the next instant the train was stopped and
the passenger carriage was seen rolling ever the
embankment Towards the river. He can thank
his fondness for the weed for his lucky es
cape. The car was not set on fire, by the
stoves, as is generally the ease on such occa
sions. The train was running very slowly at
the time. The officers of the road were in no
way, that we can see, responsible for the ac
cident.

THE REVOLUTION COMPLETE.—The
downfall of the alCoholic nostrums which
have so long been a curse to the aealth and
morals of the community is nearly accom
plished. The introduction of Da. WALKER'S
VINEGAR BITTERS was a mortal blow to the
whole brood of rem polluted nostrums adver
tised as "Tonics," and they will soon be con
signed to the limbo of things lost on earth,
with the hearty consent of all the intelligent
portion of mankind. Uncontaminated with
the deadly bane of the bodies and souls of
men, VINEGAR BITTERS contains all the valua
ble medical properties with which the Creator
has endowed the choicest medical herbs, roots
and barks of the Western World. It is indeed
the pure and powerful Tonic and Alterative
which the masses have been asking torso long
and which the profession, hitherto, have
been unable to supply. Botanical research,
chemical skill, and a profound insight into the
causes of disease, have combined to produce
a specific which literally eradicates dyspepsia,
billiousness, intermittent and remittent fevers,
nervous disorders, rheumatism, gout and all
other bodily ills which are not absolutely be
yond the reach of medicine.
REnovci..—The Franciscus Hardware Com
pany have removed to their new store-room,
in Wm. Long's boilding,one door west of Lew
is's groeery store, where they will ho pleased
to see all their old customers andas many new
ones as will favor them with a call.
A CONCERT will be given, in the Court House,
by the adult and juvenile singing classes of
Prof. Kernenkabe, on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings of next week
NOTICE.--Medical Society Meeting. There
will be a stated meeting of the Huntingdon
County Medical Society, in Huntingdon, Tues
day, April 15th, at 1 o'clock, P. M. A full

Letter from Orbisonia.
ORBISONIA, March 22, 1873,
ED. JOURNAL:-The election is ever. Right
has trimuphed. No longer will the curse and
blasphemy of the drunkard disturb the quiet
and peaceful population of town. No longer
will our poeple be disturbed by the midnight
carousing of those under the influence of
strong drink. The deadly blow has boen
struck and license falls. Next in order will
be absolute prohibition, and that inside of five
years, for the temperance cause is moving
firmly and steadily on, increasing day after
day. The dealers is alcoholic drinks have
looked on all former movements with indiffer
ence, and ridiculed the weakness of the efforts
of temperance, bat now the ball of their ridi:
mile rebounds to their own discomfiture. Our
borough polled 49 votes, of which 37 were
against and 12 for license ; for years these
twelve persons have been controlling three
times their number ; even to such an extent
as to have two licensed houses in this small
town ; this year however we have but one.
In the township the vote was nearly in the
same proportion. Out of 150 votes polled on -1
ly foity-three were for license, the balance be
ing against.
Considerable interest was manifested in the
township election for the different township
offices—particularly school directors. We are
told there were seven or eight aspirants for
that office—some of whom would nndoubtly
corns out 'short count. Our friend Dettrees
had the highest number of votes east for direc
tor—he having one hundred and thirty-six out
of one hundred and sixty votes, being twenty
nine a head of the temperance vote and lack
ing but a comparatively small number of all
the votes east.
A . E. BEUMBAUGII,
Secretary.
We mention this because some interest is
taken by the people over the county in school
affairs, judging from the numerous articles on
education which have appeared in your col
umns, and of the feeling of some of your cor
respondents in the edition of week before•last.
Also to show the high standing and popularity
of Mr. Dewees in his own community. We
think this large number of votes a mark of es
teem to Mr. D. and know the people will ap
preciate his services. The qualifications and
ability to discharge the important duties of
this office are net possessed by every one; but
in the person elected is to be found all thelex
perience and ability necessary to competently
and carefully discharge his duties, together
with the advantage of several years experience
in the school beard of one of the best school
districts in the State—that of Norristown with
Gov. Hartranft. And before long, taking into
ednsideation the numerous improvements of
our community, Cromwell Township will
compare favorably with other portions of our
county. For in salaries, length of term, buil
dings and conveniences she is certainly farbe
hind.
It was not my intention to dismiss school af
fairs in this letter, but merely to give you a
synopsis of the vote on prohibition, and we
have accomplished this we hope without tres
passing too largely on yoar columns.
• If there
is anything we dislike it is this fashion editors
have of "cutting" articles. We have been a
victim of their dire in this respect frequently.
We would rather have an article consigned,
wholesale, to the waste basket than mutilated
by the pen and scissors of an editor.
Yours, very truly,
Shade Gap to the Front.
MR. EDITOR:-Persons have been describing
all the other little towns about and left Shade
Gap out. I wish yon to know it has some
friends, too. I have visited there different
seasons of the year, and think it one of the
most romantic little towns in the county. It
is a spot where one may study the beauties of
nature in t.ll their changes and varieties. It
is situated in the Gap of the Shade Mountain,
and contains two churches—Presbyterian and
Methodist—a flourishing academy, under the
care of Prof. Peterson and lady, three stores,
a blacksmith shop and a tin shop, the latter
kept by 11. Zeigler, Esq., a very fine young
man. Young ladies seeking a rural retreat
for Summer would do well to give Shade Gap
a call. They will find some genial, pleasant
and refined society of both sexes. Among my
acquaintances I would recommend Miss Jennie
Wilson and her gentlemanly brother Calvin,
and his friend Mr. S.D. Caldwell another very
fine young man, whose superior talents would
recommend him in a mach larger place than
Shade Gap. In visiting this place do net fail
to make the acquaintance of our minister,
Rev. Kuhn, and his wife. You will find him
a most sincere and earnest christian gentle
man, and his wife a most amiable and cultiva
ted cbristian lady.
in fine residences it is not altogether defi
cient. Dr. Campbell's comes first in the beau
ty of its architecture. D. J. Appleby, Esq.,
and his lovely young wife reside in a tasteful
little cottage in the upper end of town. The
scenery is unsurpassed in the county. Beau
tiful region I How calm and grand the moun
tain looking down upon the green earth in
Summer like benevolent genii who guard the
abodes of its inhabitants, or like ancient,
white haired prophets, speaking of the myste
ries of heaven. S. C,Hcxxxx.
No Fire, But Some Tall Swearing.
310. EDITOR :-Tizere was a fire last night.—
About 12 o'clock the trumpet called and the
cry of "fire !" was given. The new engine was
fired at once, and a few sat to to pull it out of
the engine-house and away to the seat of ac
tion. Outside the engine-house it lodged,and
with all the tugging and pulling it would not
move. One fellow—we feel quite sore he did
not belong to the Fire Company—tried his
best to swear it out; he cursed, swore and
raved, but it would not move. Finally a ques
tion was raised as to where the fire was, when
it was discovered that the only fire of any
pretentions was, in the Engine. We would
suggest to the swearer that if there is any
virtue in swearing, under such circumstances,
he did not "swear hard enough."
