write. It was really awful I They were both
Democrats.
Chief of Police, Westbrook, marched "Ike"
Edwards and "Old Jude" off to Fort Hoick,

"Jude" heavily, judging from the appearance

while "Ike" bad been gone, and "Ike"
wouldn't put up with it. "Jude" looked black
and "Ike" looked pale. They wore a sorrowful
looking pair.
Alexander MeElwaine, son of Jesse MeEl

quart of benzine, about 12 o'clock, on Satur

my man. He (hic) put the fish bill through

policeman, made his appearance and the thread
brake. What wonderful instincts these fel

The JOURNAL, for the last twe years, has
paid great attention to the iron interests of this
section, and especially to the tariff, and yet of
the whole number of iron establishments in
this county only one has given us its printing.
This we consider a little bit of ingratitude.
We educate the masses to sustain them in a mo
nopoly which, gives them thousands of profits.
Because they can make fifty cents on a dollar
on a lot of printing, they send it to Philadel
phia or elswehere to parties who have no in
terest i■ them whatever. We think we have
good reason to complain. What encourage
meat have we to advocate their interests for
the future ?
A young gentleman—a beau of the town—
indicted a billet-doux to a favored damsel
stuck it into his coat pocket, sauntered out to
deposit it in the post office, met some friends,
forgot it, removed the coat and awaited a re
ply. Two or three weeks afterwards he resu
med the aforementioned coat and imagine his
astonishment and vexation, at finding, safely
and snugly stowed away in the pocket, the
aforesaid letter. His a dorable in the mean
time has called him a beastand a noodle and
everything else she can lay her tongue to,
owing to his fancied neglect, and the twain
are likely to remain twain for some time to
come. Moral—When you write a letter to
your sweetest and dearest always make up
your mind to deliver it in person, and then no
unpleasant consequences will be likely ‘ to oc
cur.
LECTURE.—At the solicitation of nu
merous citizens of Huutingdou, Capt. Samuel
Adams, has consented to deliver a lecture, at
the Court House, Tuesday evening, April 29,
1873, at 8 o'clock. Subject: His Esplorations
of the Great Canons of the Colorado River
and the country west of the Rocky Mountains,
embracing the mines of precious metals, val
leys, ancient cities, missions, canals and scen
ery of this extensive, rich and comparatively
unknown country, destined soon to be con
netted with and to pour its treasures into this
State. Lecture free.
The business of J. H. Kennedy, ruerehandi
zing, at Alexandria, will now be carried on in
the name of Kennedy & Hatfield. Thankful
for past fevers they solicit a continuance of
the same.
LITERARY - NOTICES.--The Aldine for
May is the . most lirilliant number of this su
perb magazine ever issued. It opens with a
magnificent marine picture, "The Lee Shore,"
by M. F. de Haas, who stands, by general con
sent, at the head of the marine painters of
merica, and who has never done anything,
so fine as this drawing. The fart' of the winds
and waters that have driven the good ship
from her course on the terrible lee shore is
rendered with wonderful breath and vigor,
and vividly recalls the destruction which so
lately overtook the ill-fated Atlantic. We
turn from this dreadful struggle of the ele
ments to a delicious drawing after the original
of Monginot. It is entitled "Unbidden Guests,"
and represents a group of kittens on the ta
ble of an epicure, and making havoc among
the dishes. One has upset the milk cup, and
is licking up the river of cream ; another has
found something to its taste in an overturned
cup ; while a third, the most mischievous of
all, has gone for a plate of lobsters, which is
about to be dashed to pieces on the floor. We
have next "A Trout Brook," by Casilear—a
glimpse of a roaring torrent, that goes wind
ing and dashing on its way through the breezy
woods, which the angler will be unwilling to
leave as long as the trout rise, as they must
there. There are besides six spirited illustra
tions of Chicago ; the first, a full drawing,
being a noble architectural view of the "New
Post Office," a magnificent structure—and the
others similar views of the principal public
building of Chicago as the "Pacific Hotel," the
"Michigan Southern and Rock Island Passen
ger Depot," the "Chamber of Commerce," and
the buildings of the Ames and Tribune news
papers. Chicago out to be proud when it sees
what it has done for itself, and what the Al
dine has done for it in giving such wide pic
torial currency to these monuments of its
pluck and enterprise. There is also an admir
able view of the "The Drusenfall," a noted
fall in Thuringia ; and a charming illustration
by Dore, imbued with that grace which he
knows so well haw to infuse into his pictures
when the subject demands. These are some
of the masterpieces, for such they are, in this
monthly gallery of the world's Art. The Lit
erature of the May number is as good as usual.
Miss Lucy Ellen Guernsey contributes an
amusing social sketch, entitled "Mr. Bensall's
Match-Making," and Miss Kate Putnam Os
good, a vigorous story of French peasant-life,
entitled "Pierre's Crime." Mr. W. W. Bailey
has a pleasant little essay on "The Flowers of
May ;" Mr. Frank Jocelyn a curious paper on
"Poe's Early Poems," which are almost un
known; and Mr. Henry M. Smith tell no all
about the rapid rise and growth of "New
Chicago." The poems are "How he Saved
St. Michael's," a ringing ballad of Charleston
before the war, by Mrs. M. A. P. Stans
bury, and "May," a dainty little lyric by Henry
Richards. The editor gossips about "The Lee
Shore," "A Trout Brook," "The Pine Mar
ten," etc., and discusses that important ques
tion, "What shall we Name the Baby ?" Music,
Art, and Literature are discussed with great
intelligence and independence. Subscription
price $5 including Chromes "Village Belle"
and "Crossing the Moor." James Sutton

Lignthaly
Scribner's for May.—" The Insanity of Cain"
is the suggestive title of the most remarkable
article in the May number of "Scribner's," and
one which is destined to attract wide attention-
In the way of "pictorial" papers, there is a
weird little poem by Miss Maria R. Oakey,
with a decoration by the author; Mrs. Rhodes'
article on Gavarni, the John Leech of Frame,
illustrated by some of the bestengravings that
have lately been made in America; Stanley's
paper on "Four Great African Travelers," with
a number of lively illustrations, and "Cuba
and tke Cubans," giving us, by means of pen
and picture, a good idea of the situation in l i
that unfortunate island. Miss Ledyard's de
signs accompanying Mrs. Walker's amusing
story are very bright, and the Japanese pic
tures in the Etchings are as funny as the let
terpress descriptions. We find a fine critical
paper on Walter Savage Lander, by Edmund
C. Stedman; also some timely hints on "The
California Journey," by Susan Coolidge; an
interesting account of the Civil Service Re
form ; the last part of Saxe Holm's story.
"Arthur Bonnicastle ;" poems and translations
by J. T. Trowbridge, George McDonald, Thos,
Dunn English, and others. Dr. Holland's
"Topics of the Time" are entitled "Thou Shalt
Kill," "Mitigating Circumstances," "Cruelty
to Men and Women," 'and "Civil Service Re
form." The Old Cabinet contains "Reckless
Moments," and a couple of sonnets in the Ital
ian manner. In Home and Society there are
pithy papers on "Our Old Books and Periodi
cals," "Less Glitter," "Making Presents," etc.
In Culture and Progress there is a brief paper
by Col. Higginson, in which he quotes the
opinions of various educators in regard to his
proposition as to Inter-Collegiate scholarship,
and also an excellent account of" English Par
liamentary Rules and the late Ministerial Cri-
WE have jest received from the National
Publishing Co., of Philadelphia, a copy ef Prof.
0. S. Fowler's great work, on Manhood, Wo-
manhood, and their Mutual Inter relations ;
Love, Its Laws, Power, etc. We bail its ad
vent with undisguised satisfaction, and cordi-
ally commend it to the perusal of all classes
of our community. Forty years experience as
a teaeher and lecturer on science, and a long
life devoted to consultations and advice in
connection with subjects concerning which
men and women hesitate to confide—even in
their physicians—have enabled Professor Fowl
er to give to the world the most remarkable
and useful volume of the day, and which
should find its way into the hands of every
conseientious man and woman.
As its title indicates, it is devoted to an
ox
planation of the laws which govern the sexes
in their relations to each other ; the ignorance
of which causes so mach sorrow and suffering
in the world. Thousands will thank the anth
er for his disclosures, and we predict that the
book will mark . the beginning of a clearer un_
derstanding of the subjects whereof it treats.
Men will be arrested in their heedless course.
and made to think of the misery they are en
tailing upon their families and themselves
through ignorance. Wives will find iu this
volume a sure and safe road to the accomplish
ment of every true wife's desires. Women
who wish to retain their health and beauty in
mature life, will be taught in this volume the
secret of doing se, and will also learn here
the true meansof keeping their husbands faith
ful.
There would be fewer firesides made deso
late by the loss of a loved wife ; fewer render
ed unhappy by a prematurely old, broken and
enfeebled wife, if the laws of "Sexual Science,"
which are laid down and explained in this
book were better understood and more gener
ally acted upon. The best guarantee of its
excellence is the fast that its suggestions and
remedies meet the approval of every intelli
gent physician in the country. It exposes
quacks and patent medicines unmercifully,
and by its common-sense-views will save many
a dollar for those who follows its instructions,
as well as put them on the sure road to health.
It will show bow mothers can avoid much of
their suffering, and how they can raise daugh
ters fit to be wives and mothers. It will show
men bow to develop their manly vigor, and
women how to promote the growth of those
charms which render them so attractive to
MIL It will show how happiness may be
made to reign supreme in the domestic circle,
and bow it may he brought back to those
from whom it has fled. The book appeals to
every class, and to people of t.ll ages, tastes,
and habits, and we hope it will be read by
every man and woman in our broad land. The
author addresses himself with special force to
these contemplating marriage, and we most
cordially commend this book to all such. It
is pure and eleN:ited in tone, and abounia in
the most useful information concerning the
sexes. Its low price brings it within the reach
of all, and the information it contains is be
yond value. Its circulation will be a benefit
to society.
The book is sold by subscription only, and
the publishers want agents in every county.
RAILROAD MATTERS.—As usual, the
Register first announces the location of the
Dunning's Creek railroad between Bedford and
Leamersrille, or, we may as well say, Holli
daysburg. This road is an extension of the
Bedford a.id Dunning's Creek road. 51r. W. H.
Brown, Bedford, is the superintendent engin
eer. The engineers passed over the line
one day last week. M. A. P. W. John
son has charge of the corps, consisting of
Messrs. F. P. Ake, Huston Tate and others.
The corps has been three weeks engaged in
locating a road between the Red Bridge, six
miles north of Bedford, and the point of in
terseetion with Morrison's Cove road one and
one-quarter miles below McKee's Gap. The
road from Bedford to Red Bridge is under eon
tract and partly graded. Work is being vig
orously pushed. The route, leaving Bedford,
runs up the east side of Dunning's Creek to '
mouth of Dobbs Creek, where it crosses and
continues up the west side to mouth of Scrub
Grass Creek as far as lmler Valley, sixteen
miles from Bedford. Thence through Imler
Valley two miles to the summit, or dividing of
water north and south. The summit is 211
feet above Bedford. From the summit the
route passes down Beaver Dani creek, or,
what may be better known, the Frankstown
Branch of the Juniata river, to Leamersville.
The highest grade per mile is 40 feet between
Bedford and Summit, and 45 this side. The
average grade is about 15 feet per mile. As
a natural consequence, the farmers along the
projected road are iwa fever of excitement
and entertain liberal views concerning rise in
land, depots, markets, etc. The road as stak
ed is doubtless the route most likely to be
adopted, although it makes sad havoc with
many fine farms. The engineers reached East
Freedom on Thursday last, and on Friday re
turned to Bedford to make their report. If
the route is adopted it i.e believed the road
will be put under immediate contract, and
then the Bedford hucksters will be able to
put their tennis to other uses.—Hollidaysburg
Register.
POSTPONEMENT OF THE PUBLIC LI
BRARY GIFT CONCEItT.—It will he seen by the
announcement in our advertising columnsthat
the third gift concert of the Public Library of
Kentucky, which was to have taken place to
day, has been postponed until July 8. This
postponement has not been occasioned, as we
are advised, by Gov. Bramlette, by the small
sales of tickets ; on the contrary, the sales
have been unusually large—nineh larger than,
at any of the preceding concerts—so large,
indeed, that the time given by this ninety-day
postponement will enable Gov. Bramlette to
dispose of every ticket and insure a full draw
ing without any reduction or sealing of the
gifts, as has heretofore been the case. Gov.
B. sees his way so clearly that he announces
in the most positive and unequivocal language
that the drawing will take place July 8, and
that it will be a full one. The owner of the
ticket drawing the capital gift will get $lOO,-
000 in greenbacks without any discount, and
so of all the other gifts. The money sufficient
to par all the gifts-4500,000 in greenbacks—
is already on deposit in the Farmers' and
Drovers' Bank, set apart for the payment of
the gifts and can be used for no other purpose,
as will be seen by the cashier's certificate.
With a knowledge of these facts—and we do
net hesitate to guarantee their scrupulous ful
fillment—there will be such a demand for the
tickets now on band that, in all probability
not a single one will be left for sale weeks be
fore the time of drawing. There never was a
fairer or more honorably-condueted enterprise
before the public, and it has, as it deserves,
the entire confidence of the people. It is one
of those schemes in which the purchasers of
tickets feel the most positive assurance that
that the drawing will be fair, for it will be
controlled by the must prominent and dis
tinguished citizens of the city and State, and
those who draw gifts will be certain to get
the money the moment their tickets are pre
sented.

County Prue.
it gives us pleasure to hear that our friend
Lowry is prospering and that he is still full of
new schemes for the development of the region
in which he is located. Much of the enterprise,
thrift and wealth of which Bedford county
boasts to-day, can be traced to the Colonel.—
He never loses sight of her interests for a mo
ment.
Nor does his interest take a selfish
tern, so that the riches of the region are
brought to the surface and turned to account,
it matters not to him who gets the advantage
of them. If Bedford county had only a few
more men like the Colonel it would be well
for her.

MR. EDITOR:-Dear sir, being a former resi
dent of your county and baring occasion to
travel through the "Lower Eni" to New Rich
mond, and concluding if a few notes of our
travels will net be nninterestingto the readers
of the JOURNAL, you arc at liberty to use the
crude rambling remarks as you deem best—
that is, insert them in the Stove or JOURNAL as
you like.
i - We took the train at Harrisburg westward
and arrived at Mt. Union, dusty, hungry and
tired. We noticed all along our route that
the grain fields looked very promising indeed,
for an abundant yield the coming harvest. We
were made to think that those who are holding
back their grain from last harvest for higher
prices, would act wisely by not holding it too
long. Well, as we stated before we landed at
Mt. Union and found it greatly improved in
appearance since a previous visit some years
arzo. A number of neat and valuable dwel
ling houses hare been erected. They have al
so got a Bank, which step in its progress,
makes Mt. Union look as though it were a
place of considerable business, and in fact we
believe it is judging from the number of Fac
tories, Steam mills, Furnaces, Stores, dc., it
has within its limits and vicinity. They have
also got a very fine Public School House and 1
Town Hall which speaks more favorably of
the place than any building is it, as "you can
always judge of the intelligence and morals c f
a community by their school houses and
churches." The streets and sidewalks are al
so in a macli better condition than formerly,
but there is still room yet for considerable
improvemnt. They hare also a weekly paper
published here—the Mt. Union ZifliCB.
... . . ._.
- Next we appear in Shirleysbarg, nothing
worthy of noto occupying our attention while
traveling from Mt. Union to this place, except
they have 3ommenced laying the ties on the
E. B. Railroad. Shirleysbnrg has not im
proved very much and if our judgment is
right, it is certainly cut off and left out iu the
cold. There certainly cannot be much busi
ness done here in the future, as the greater
part of Germany Valley—the land of "big
eaters," will transact their trading at Orbiso
nia. Shirleysburg is a right neat little vil
-1 liege ; the streets and sidewalks are superior
to those of Mt. Union, being much cleaner and
and dryer. We did not see any public school
house. Here we saw the residence of the
great John Logan. Why, Mr. Editor, he is as
fat as a rye straw, we are ineliued to think if
he would take one of Dr. Gherett's Turkish
baths, tuba, brushes, soap and all, inwardly,
it might be good for the dyspepsia in his lower
joints, but we are told the Doctor has been
scrubbing him of late.
We lea.;:e Shirleysburgand as usual the doors
close and the windows go down—all being
satisfied with their sly peep of notoriety.
We next arrive at the present centre of at
traction—Orbisonia. From the great blow we
have heard of the place, we expected to see
something, and so we id, we saw the mud
diest, dirty, filthy streets and side walks we
have met with in all ear travels. Have the
citizens of Orbisenia no pride in their town ?
The first building we saw, we were informed
was their school house, and compared favor
ably with the streets and c mtrasted with some
other buildings we have seen in some of the
Senthern States. The next building pointed
out to us was "Fort Neil." Orbisenia is des
tined to be a considerable of a place. The
H. B. T. Railroad Company intends to erect
two large furnaces here, also a Rolling Mill,
Foundry and Machine Shops, which will afford
a great amount of labor and will reqire a con
siderable number of bands, and will make
business brisk for the merchants and others.
The company has made preparation to burn
one mildon brick and expect to commence
moulding in a few days. A branch road of
one and a half miles in length, will be made
from this place to an ore bank, also an adi
itional branch of two miles in length will be
made to their lime stone quarry. They have
als contracted to have ten houses built at
Rockhill and ten more are contracted for, op
posit, Orbisonia. The contractors are vigor
ously pushing forward the work. Quite a num
ber of neat dwellings have been built in Or
bisonia during the last year and quite a num
ber are still in progress, and we are inform
ed the building and business generally, has
not fairly commenced yet, The town lots are
selling rapidly from on, to two hundred dol
lars each. The citizens should take steps to
wards cleaning up the streets, planting shade
trees, painting houses, dm., it would certainly
add to the appearance of the place and en
hance the value of property.
The contracters of the second and third di
visions, have commenced work and are pay
ing liberal wages—two dollars per day.
Boarding eighteen dollars per month. The
ears are expected to run into this place some
in December. We here met with Mr. M'El.
haney one of the contractors.
We leave at I a. m., for Shede Gap without
a smuell of "corn juice." At Rockhill weex
changed compliments with Col. Dewees, one
of the most enterprising and go-ahead men we
have met with in our travels. He is a good
talker and speaks right to the point. He has
done much for the development of this sec
tion and seems greativ interested in the labor
ing man's interests. The scenery from Rock
hill to Shade Gap is magnificent. Tito "Nar
rows" look as if some great volcanic upheavel
had taken place away hack in the dim ages of
the past. The strata of rock on the ends of
both mountains lay in the same slant
ing direction and the large overhanging
rocks look as though they had been torn front
their rocky bed by some sudden and powerful
force. Next, Shade Gap. The great valley
of pole eats. Shades of Shade I what a place
—a few houses stuck away up in the rocks,so
that it is doubtful whether they will be found
when the last horn blows. Mr. Editor, don't
go there, you if do and should die it may be
doubtful you would ever be resurrected—
take along time to hunt up your hones amongst
the rocks and woods. Will get out of this at
once; good bye Shade Gapl Passing along
towards the Cabins we saw some of the poor
est hills and knolls we ever saw. Some of
them looked as though the sun had blistered
them for two centuries, others looked as
though they had been frozen like poor Pierce
and all of them would hardly furnish enough
mullet' seed for a Whippoorwill to live on
while traveling to the poor Mouse. %V found
the Cabins all here and Buckweat cakes and
tough beef in abundance. Transacting our
busyness at New Richmond, we leave for
Zansville, Maryland, where we will remain
during the summer, and where you will please
send us the JOURNAL. Respectfully,
Letter from Orbisonia.
ORBISONIA, April 23, 1873,
Enrrou jou:sat :—Grandfather has been at
me for several days to write to you. He says
his hand is getting too unsteady to write. Now,
Mr. Editor, I don't know much about writing
for a paper, but grandfather says I will never
learn younger, and this may be true. I would
just say here that my grandfather's hand is
not. only unsteady, but I fear he will lose his
eye-sight too, just from reading the Globe. He
reads it all the time, Sunday and Saturday,
and when he gets through it he just commen
ees and reads it over again ; he thinks there
never• was such a paper published, (and per
haps there never was.) He is going to try
and get the Professor to convert it into a reli
gious paper. lie thinks all it will need will
be a new heading, and says he will try and get
him to call it the "Christian Union." As the
Professor is so good at suiting politicians, he
thinks if he cau succeed in getting him to con
vert the Globe into a religious paper he would
unite the churches in our county, and might,
perhaps, be the means of bringing about the
millennium. And then his next idea to to get
the Professor to publish his paper in our town
so he can attend to the paper through the
week and preach for us on the Sabbath day.
My grandfathet is a very religions man, and
from the manner in which the Professor has
conducted the Globe, since it came into his
hands, he thinks he is a very religious man
too. This is the only reason I can give for
grandfather taking such a liking to the Pro
fessor and his paper.
Now, Mr. Editor, grandfather has some fault
to Sod with your paper, and I will just tell
you here what it is. He thinks that Mr. Woods
and Mr. Speer are just as good christians as
the Professor, and no they are united with him
now in the good work of trying to unite the Re
publican party in our county, he thinks you
should not be too hard on them.
11,111
153,419
. 87,940
67,479
In speakirg of Mr. Speer and the $5,000
grab, grandfather says it is no matter how a
man gets nioney if he only appropriates it
well. Be may, perhaps, purchase Bibles with
the $5,000 and send them to the heathen ; he
has no doubt but thlit he will apply it to some
good purpose. From present indications
grandfather thinks it will not be "long any
more" until the time will come spoken of in
the good Book, when "the wolf shall dwell
with the lamb, and when the leopard shall lie
down with the kid and a little child shall lead
them."
Quite a number of houses are under con•
tract at this place and at Roekhill. We are
going to have quite a busy time here this
summer. Our enterprising townsman, A. B.
Green, has moved into his new dwelling, quite
a good building by the way.
Now. Mr. Editor, grandfather says I have
written too long a letter for a boy of my age,
as you may think so too. So I will close for
the present. Truly yours,
P. S.—Grandfather says as the Professor
published a nice article on the amputation of
Pierce's feet, he would now like if he would
publish a piece en his death. P. C.
From Alexandria.
ALEXANDRIA, April 26, 1873.
. _ .
Ma. EDITOR :—Justice to our school and
teacher compels me to reply to a communica
tion I read in your paper of April 23d. Mr.
"M. C. I," appears to be displeased with our
High School. I will try and explain to the
readers of your paper the reasons, or some of
them. Mr. M'Kibbin, the teacher of our high
est school, has been teaching here for about
twenty years; has ahrays taught this school ;
has a permanent certificate, and all who know
him know him to be duly qualified. If not,
why are there so many who send their children
to him from other school districts, when they
could send them in their own districts free of
charge? I never knew Mr. M'Kibbin to be
obliged to go around with a subscription pa
per to get a Summer or subscription school.—
The parents know his worth as a teacher, and
they come and offer him their scholars, nor
did I ever know him to reject a scholar on ac
count of his poverty. This charge is false and
a lie, and I challenge Mr. "M. C: I." to show a
single instance where he did. Mr. "M. C. 1.,"
why did you not get a school here? Had not
you a subscription paper out? Did you not
carry it around from house to house and ask
every man in the place, that had a child to
send to school, to send it to you ? And what
was the reply? "I am going to send to Mr.
M'Ribbin." Now if you could not get a school
by soliciting it, is it not ingratitude on your
part to censure Mr. M'Kibbin for getting one
unsolicited on his part? If you had the qual
ifications that you ought to have, you would
not have any trouble in getting a school. You
are the wrong man to attack our schools or to
dictate how they should be conducted, or who
should teach them. If lam not very muds
mistaken, Mr. M'Kibbin has scholars in his
school that can curl your hair on any branch
you teach, and can teach you branches that
you know nothing about. If you could not
get your son in his school it was because the
school was full before you made application,
and not because you arc more wealthy than
some others. MEDITATE.
