it was found that lightning had struck the

The new passenger engines .of the Broad
Top railroad have been received. In a short

cars will be put on. With patent Air brakes, a

railroad men that she has to run it, Broad Top
will be all that can be desired.
The roof of Miller's brewery, en the corner
of Fifth and Moore streets, in this borough,
was slightly damaged by fire on Thursday
night last. The steamer was out promptly,
but no water could be had, as the canal was
dry and the suction hose would not reach the
river. The firs was extinguished by water
carried in buckets. The necessity for water
works was sorely felt on this occasion.
Nearly a year since a freight conductor, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, dropped his watch
while running over the tops of cars. Search
was matte for it several times but without suc
cess. The otberday some laborers discovered
it while turning railroad ties. The only dam

•he crystal. When wound op it commenced
ticking as naturally as when in the pocket of
the owner.

There is great complaint among the Bread
Top coal operators at the scarcity of cars.
The Pennsylvania railroad is deficient in wharf
age in Philadelphia, and cannot accommoda
date, while the Reading • complains that the
Pennsylvania does not allow sufficient reining-
ation for car service so that between the two
the operators are left fearfully short. Twice the
amount of coal per day could be shipped and
then the demandwould not be wholly supplied.
A special train, consisting of the directors'
car, No. 180, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
drawn by directors' car engine 212, Henry

THOMAS LONG THE MAN WHO STOLE
BOWSER'S WATCR—STZWART INNOCENT.—It will
he remembered that a yoting man,named Stew
art, was convicted at the late Sessions, of the
Bedford county Court, and sent to the Pen
itentiary, for stealing a watch from the dead
body of Conductor Bowser, who was killed in
a wreck upon the Broad Top Railroad, last
November. The young man protested his in
noeense, at every stage of the proceedings,
and alledged that he bought the watch from a
man lie met on the railroad, who was an en
tire stranger to him, and if he could see the
man be would know him. Bat as he bad no
evidence to substantiate his story, he was
promptly convicted, though the case was far
from being a clear one, in our estimation.—
Last week we stated that Thomas Long and
others were arrested here for robbing cars. It
turas out that Thomas Long, the principal
thief, was armed with a car-key taken by him
from the dead body of Conductor Bowser, and
the strong presumption is that -if he went
through Bowser's pockets, and took the key,
he also took the watch,- and that he is the
man who sold it to young Stewart. This mat
ter should be investigated at once, and if our
surmises are correct, Stewart should be par
doned without unnecessary delay.

"THIS EVERLASTING Rick ON MUST
STOP".—A subscriber, in a fit of virtuous in
dignation, sends ns the foll Owing:
TYRONE, April 8, 1873.
• Mu. Jot mut.:—Enclesed, please find check for
SI, which place to my credit. When this money
runs out, please stop the paper, as I have deter
mined to take no paper that will run on after the
advanced subscription has expired. Te have a
part of the columns of a paper taken up with
perpetual duns. I think is unprofitable to the pa
per and unjust to the subscriber, as well as un
pleasant. Respectfully, yours.
P. S.—l expect to take a paper from H., and
will he more than likely to take the JOCIINAL than
any other, but so far as I am concerned, this ever
lasting run on must stop. o
Well, this is emphatic! About as pointed
as a pitchfork I But, friend, since you have
paid up fifteen months in advance, and are,
therefore, not likely to stop for some time to
come, let ns calmly discuss "this everlasting
run on" for a few minutes, and ascertain why
it is that country newspapers "will run on af
ter the advanced subscription has expired."
The country newspaper is as much theguar
dian of the secular interests of the commu
nity in which it is published, if properly con
ducted, as the minister is cf the religious in
terests. In many respects they are very sim
ilar. Both are supported by the public, and
the one is expected to be as perntanent no the
other. No one is compelled to support either,
and they are at the mercy of those for whose
benefit they exist. If you stop paying at
the end of the year both will be expected
to go on nevertheless. And as they must go
On, and you feel that you will support some
one, why have the church stop until you feel
like paying up ? Why should the newspaper
.stop until you remember that you have not
paid up ? You admit that you "expect tg take
a newspaper in II," now why will you have it
stopped the day your subscription expires. to
be renewed, perhaps. the next day or the next
week? Can't you remember that the printer
has to be paid without his stopping the paper
to remind you of the fast? If this is the case,
it would be advisable to notify you of the ex
piration. This we do by a little tab on each
issue of the paper which you receive. All you
have to do is to glance at it, now and then, and
you will receive the necessary notice.
But we desire to state more explicitly why
it is that the Jocasta. and other country news
papers "will run on after the advanced sub
icription has expired." A county newspaper
is priteipally patronized by those who are in
terested in the local news of the community
in which it is published. It has, then, only a
local ebiculation, generally not exceeding
eight or ten hundred. Suppose it were to
adopt the cash system and stop all subscrip
tions at theit expiration, what would be the
result? Why out of one thousand persons,
whose subscription would expire on the first
day of January, not above two hundred
and fifty, and we doubt, after years of expe
rience, whether one hundred would think of
renewing their subscriptions promptly so as
to be clasied in the advance paying category.
So you see from a circulation •tf one thousand
we would run down to one-fourth that num
ber. The remainder would come straggling
back in from one to twelve months and a
considerable percentage would never come
without solicitation, and country offices do
not pay well enough to keep solicitors eon
stoutly travelling. Where is the country paper
that could stand this kind of circulation? It
does not exist. • I
And, now, who do you sappos.e would neg
lect this matter? Why the first loss would be
our friend who writes the above sharp criti
cism. He, and a hundred other excellent men,
head over heels in business, would not think
of renewing his subscription until weeks after
it had expired. It is the business men more
than others who fail to pay promptly for their
reading matter. Many of them talk about
supporting a local paper, which is expected
to champion the interests of the community,
and all they do is take the paper, year in and
year out, and "growl like a bear, with a sore
head" when a bill is presented, and wonder
whether some little advertiseing which they
have had done does not entitle them to a pa
per into the bargain. Of course our friend is
not in this category but there are those who
are.
No, no ; until the country press can number
its subscriptions by thousands it cannot adopt
the advance paying system. Every bodyought
to pay in advance—there is no doubt, 'n
our mind, on this subject. But they will not
do it. We count all who pay inside of three
months as paying in advance. We do this be
cause men cannot drop everything and rata
town to pay two dollars for a newspaper.
And finally, it would be a hard matter to
run a newspaper without dunning. In fact it
is one of the principal features of its adver
tising columns, and if others can use the col
umns of a newspaper to remind delinquents
of their indebtedness, we do not see why the
publishers should not enjoy the same privi
lege. If an advertisement of that kind does
not concern the reader he is wasting time to
read it. Ile should treat it a 3 the old man

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.—From
the Pittsburg Commercial we learn that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has reeom
menced grading for the additional double
traeks between that city and Philadelphia,
and it is estimated that the enormous sum of
$19,000.000 will be spent during the present
year by the eompany within the State. Of
this :mount, $1,000,000 will be expended on
the Pittsburg Division, extending from Pitts
burg to Altoeas, a distance of one hundred
and seventeen miles. In the latter "sum is in
cluded the cost of making the connection be
tween the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pitts.
burg, Virginia, and Charleston railway, by
bridge across the Monongahela, above the
month of Turtle creek. This work is partly un
der way, and the estimated cost is $550,000.
It is expected that the connection will be com
pleted during the present year. The grading
and excavating for the new double tracks be
tween Pittsburg and Turtle creek are already
far advanced, and portions of the road bed
and tracks have been constructed. Other im
povements will he made on the Western end
of the line, which will absorb a considerable
portion of the $3,000,000 to be spent on the
Western Divison. The "great monopoly" oc
easionally tramps pretty hard on the toes of
Individuals, corporations and municipalities ;
bat it confers vast benefits on the people of
the State at large, and is one of those "evils''
that the Commonwealth is quite willing to
put up with. The distribution of $19,000,000
among the laborers, mechanics, contractors,
merchants, manufacturers, and farmers of the
State, in a single year, is an act which ought
to atone for some of the sins of the company.
The improvements resulting from such large
expenditures will be mainly of a permanent,
character, tending to still further increase the
business of the road, and adding to the wealth
and prosperity of the State. In all such en
terpriseons this the public will join in wish
ing the "moseply" success.—Barrisburg Tele

11.NOTIIER SWINDLE.---Some weeks—
perhaps months—ago, a couple of patentright
agents, circulating through the remote parts
of Huntingdon county and picking up here
and there a greenhorn, came to the conclu
sion to go into partnership for the purpose of
making a ten strike in their swindling opera_
tions. As to their success let the sequel tell:
A Huntingdon county farmer, named Liv
ingston, had been several times importuned to
purchase the right to sell a patent wind mill
in this State. The agent gave a glowing ac
count of the wonderful superiority of this wind
mill over all others that ever bad been invent
ed, and guaranteed a speedy fortune to the
purchaser of the State right. Mr. Livingston
was disposed to listen favorably, and finally
agreed to go to Lewistown where the agent
had the wind mill and take a look at the
"critter" anyhow.
While in the hotel examining the patent and
listening to the exposition of its virtues, a
well-dressed gentleman entered the room,
glanced at the wind mill, walked up and in
-1 quired for the owner of the patent. The agent
made himself known. Then the finely dressed
gentleman wanted to purchase the State right.
It WAS just the thing he had been looking for.
What could he have itTor? "yery sorry, sir,"
replied the proprietor of the wonderful patent
right, "but 1 have just about ,old the State to
this gentleman," indicating Mr. Livingston.—
Then the nice gentleman called Mr. L. to one
side and asked what he was to pay for the
State. "Eight thousand dollars." "Well, sir,
buy it, and 1 will give you twelve thousand
for certain counties," naming them. The far
mer bit. lie thought it would be an exceed-
Mgly sharp business stroke to get a wind mill
patent right for nothing, and to have four
thousand dollars for his trouble. The bargain
was concluded. Some cash was paid and
notes given for the balance. •
Only a few days elapsed until Livingston
discovered that be had been outrageously
swindled, and steps were taken toward appre
hending the swindler. The latter had depart
ed' as soon as his fish was fairly caught. On
the way he purchased six horses, a buggy,
harness and saddle, paying Tor them with the
notes given by his victim. When he reached
this borough some intimation that the officers
of the law were on his track reached him and
he departed, leaving his recent purchases in
the stable of the American House. This pro
perty was attached, and on Saturday last, in
pursuance of an order of court, was disposed
of by public sale. Col. John S. Miller of Hun
tingdon purchased buggy, harness and three
horses. Albert Wilson, Jerome Rooney and
Wm. Kellerman each purchased one.
Mr. Livingston will lose at least $5;000 by
this transaction, and after this costly lesson
will doubtless steer clear of patent rights. It
should be understood, once for all, that out of
every ten traveling venders of patent rights,
nine are arrant swindlers, and the safest plan
is to have nothing whatever to do with any of
the tribe.—Sol. Standard.

SCRIBNER'S FOR APRIL.—The record
of An Hour among the Greenbacks," in Scrib
ner's for April, is as entertaining as a story.
The unnamed author certainly writes from a
thorough acquaintance with his subject, and
gives, with the aid of pictures, the best ac
count yet published of the workings of the
currency Department. Miss Proctor's profuse
ly illustrated description of "Moscow and
Southern Russia" will be read with peculiar
interest at this time, as well as the sketch of
"An Emperor's Vacation at Vichy." Among
the illustrated papers are an article on Ameri
ca's prima donna, Clara Louisa Kellogg,with a
portrait, and "An Ancient American Civiliza
tion," with pictures of Peruvian antiquities.
Besides Dr. Holland's serial, "Author Bondi
castle," there is, by way of•fiction, the begin
ning of a very powerful story by Saxe Holm,
"The Elder's Wife," a sequel to Draxy Miller's
Dowry; "Martin Lea's story," by Norman
Holm; "The Automaton-Ear," a strange ro
mance, by Florence McLandburgh; and "The
Flea and the Professor," by Hans Christian
Andersen. Pref. Atwater, of Princeton, ably '
discusses "Needed Modifications of our Cur
rency Banking System," and amou2, the poems
we find some striking verses by Mr. Stedman,
entit led "Hypatia," and having reference to
the woman-lecturer of to-day. From George
McDonald there is another beautiful transla
tion from Novalis. In "Topics of the Times,"
Dr. Holland writes of "The Latin Nations,"
"Clean Hands," "Lord Lytton," and "Party
Virtue." The Old Cabinet has a "Protest con
cerning Catalogues," something about expres
sion, etc. Home and Society, Culture and
Progress, Nature and Science, and Etchings,
are perhaps more interesting than usual.
The May number of Scribner's opens the
sixth volume, and, as the publishers say, "This

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Letter from Shirleysburg.
EDITOR JOVRNAL, :--It has been so long sinee
I have written you a letter that I began to
fear you would blot me out of your book of
remembrance.
Here am I in this ancient town, which I
learn derived its name from a fort here erected
and commanded by General Shirley. Be this
as it may the town is here about as large as
it was twenty years ago. But then you know
there is a Railroad being Wit through here
to the enterprising town of Orbisonia, which
will probably make the town look up.
There are three stores, two blacksmith shops,
one shoe shop, and, well, I have not counted
how many candy shops, but I am led to be
lieve the citizens are fond of candy. There is a
demand for houses this spring by parties that
are working on the railroad but I hear of nose
being built as the citizens believe the town is
about as large as it should be. The land is
very good for farming and the owners think it
bad policy to waste it by building houses on
it. There is one large brick building at the
upper-end, which they call the Poor House; I
think the name inappropriate, as it looks
like the best house around, but then they say
it is very Poorly Managed. The grain looks
very promising aid bidS fair for a fine crop.
The Fruit is all killed by the winter—except
apples. This is a greet place for grapes, but
I am told they are killed this season; this will
be hard on the wine drinkers ; but I suppose
it is all right—Providence killed the grapes
and Local Option the venders. There is a
lodge of I. 0. 0. F. here. They were institu
ted last December and are prospering. There
are three churches here Presbyterian, Rev.
S. C. Alexander, Pastor; Baptist, Rev. Evans,
Pastor, and Methodist, Rev. McKee, Pastor. I
am told that Rev. Alexander has accepted a
call from Path Valley and intends moving
shortly. This change, I believe, is very much
regretted by all the citizens of this place. My
sheet is full and I see nothing more to write
about. I will close and will probably write
again. RAMBLER.
