Lewistown has the cleanest streets of any town in the central portion of the State. Marklesburg has a boy that is between nine and ten years Of age and weighs 140 pounds. A new coat of paint is being put on the rus• tic iron fence in front of the Catholic church. Over a thousand hotels in the State have closed since the election on the license ques tion. The foundation for the Keystone Broom Fan . tory is completed and ready for the brick work. • It will be fashionable for both sexes during the coming summer to carry umbrellas—when it rains, Mr. James A. Brown is putting up an iron fence on Washington street with a press brick base. ' Isabel Hight has been appointed street Commissioner. This is considered as excel- lent appointment. Conductor Church is the best named man on the P. R. It. Ho has such a meek and sancti fied look about him. The Huntingdon County Sabbath School Convention will be held Wecinesday and Thurs day, June 4th and sth. A stump-puller ought to thrive at almost any point between Tyrone and Altoona. •'lt's darned stumby up there." Farmers have been able, up to this time, to get out comparatively little oats. The crop will, quite likely, be short. Huntingdon county had in 1870 324 MfLllll. factoring establishments, the valuation or whose products was $2,319,122. The claims of the workmen, who brought snits against the contractors of the East Broad Top Railroad, have been satisfied. Thursday last was the last day for paying enrolment tax. We wonder how many little 'Williams" were left to die. The new Council have gone to work in good earnest. The sidewalks must he repaired and crossings laid where ever necessary. Dr. J. T. Blaek, of Mt. Union, has a great aversion to cancer. When asked whether he can cure it he always says : can, eery The wheat through Woodcock Valley looks well, and promises an abundunt crop. The peach trees are reported nearly all frozen. The Station House, at Barree Iron Works, on the P. R. R. was burned down lately. The loss of the company does not exceed Si no,ooo. The sun came to time on Sunday last and has been able to be out the greater part of the time since. We welcome his genial couute_ The P. R. R. is going to cut off the end of the mountain at Tyrone to enable the good citizens of that place to enlarge their already extended boundaries. The presence of a couple of live editors, in Bedford, a week or two ago, had a tendency to stir up the local of the Gazette. W h-e-w ! how he makes things pipe ! The good people of the village of Markles burg are elated over an improvement in pro gress is their midst—Mr. B. D. Beatty is erect ing a new Blacksmith shop. It is reported that the Council have declar ed the old stable belonging to the Farmers' Hotel, situated on the East corner of Fourth and Washington streets, a nuisance. Foster, who died from injuries mentioned last week, bad $5,000 insurance in the Conti nental Life of Hartford. This is the first loss this company has sustained in this section. Rev..l. W. Plannet, in all probability, will accept a call from the Apollo church in Arm strong county, about twenty-five miles from Pittsburg where he will succeed the Rev. Dr. J. Winter. A gentleman, who has lately made the tour of the county, assures us that he never saw the grain look better. The prospects for a a good crop were never surpassed in all parts the county. We peeped in the sanctum of Hackett and J. Todd of the Tribune, the other day, but both these "talyented" scribes were out hunting up blood and thunder. How do you get through The mud? Laws presarce us! Pr. Tames King, a resident of Pittsburg, re cently Surgeon General under Gov. Curtin, and formerly of Hollidaysburg, had his leg broken at the hip one day week before last by being thrown from a buggy. The whiskey establishment, in this place, has closed up and is going to take its depar ture for Maryland. Constable Edwards set tled the little job by a prosecution and the compromise is satisfaetory. The Times is down on the people of Mt. Union for frequenting the depot at the arrival of trains. What is there wrong about this? Nothing that we can see. Go to the depot whenever you feel like it. Germany Valley hasn't get over thedestruc tion of their "preserves and pickets" eaten by the Mt. Union people at a sale in the early spring. Mt. Union proposes to take up a col lection, on the 4th of July next, to pay for them. They light up the Good Templars' Lodge in Mt. Union, with fluid lamps. A few nights ago the room was set on fire by one of these unsafe vessels and things looked lively for a minute or two ; fortunately the rimer threw cold water on the movement and it expired. Mr. Samuel Foster, of lronsville, whom we noticed last week as having had his foot in jured by a train of cars while on his wayhome from Tyrone on Saturday night, died from his injuries on Wednesday evening last. Flis re mains were interred in this place on Friday last. Petersburg was christened by Peter Shoen berger. This accounts for the Peter. One of the streets was named St. Peter. Who would have thought that that old man was anxious to hand his name down to posterity as a Saint. lie no doubt expected to be the iron man's patron saint. The Council has had the mud shoveled up on Penn street and now they are like the fel low who won the elephant at a raffle— they don't know what do with it. There is quite enough of stuff to fill up all the trestles on Broad Top if they were only a little more con venient. They will have a big time shoveling West Huntingdon. The following Furnaces are in Huntingdon county-, viz : Mill Creek, Edward A. Greene & Co. : Barree, G. Dorsey Greene & Co.; Hun tingdon, G. & J. H. Shoenberger ; Juniata Iron Works, S. & B. R. Hatfield ; Pennsylvania, Lyon, Stewart &Co. ; Greenwood, (two) Logan , Iron and Steel Co. and Rock Hill, Rock Iron and Coal Co. James Horton opened up a vein of coal oa the summit of the mountain midway between Hopewell and Riddlesburg, a week or two ago, containing two seams known as the twins, the one contains 6 feet and the other 7 feet 3 inch es of coal. It must be an irregular deposit. It is the first coal that has been discovered in this immediate locality. Frequently bills and posters which per sons have, at considerable expense, printed end stuck up are torn down, by mischivous .boys and others, before the object for which they were stuck up has been accomplished. If we are not mistaken there is an old act of assembly imposing a salutary penalty for this kind of mischief. It should be enforced. Ten new passenger cars were standing at the Altoona shops the other day. Allah be praised ! The passengers on this road are at last to have something better than stock cars for their accommodation. And when they ure put on the route we de hope the employees will be instructed to wash them out and air them at least once a month. It is such a lux ury to go into a clean car especially when it is not a Pullman. Capt. Adams' lecture detailing his explor ations of the Colorado river, and the many hardships which he endured and the dangers that he braved, was one of the most instruct ive and thrilling delivered here since Du Chail- In favored us, and yet there were hardly enough of persons in attendance to make up a respectable Bible class. Evidently a great many people in Huntingdon do not want to learn anything. They can never get above a negro chow or a lecture on mesmerism. [Reported by J. F. Suwon.] COURT PROCEEDINGS: FIRST WEEK.— Fred. Klepser Ex., &e., of Wm. Enyeart vs. Jackson Enyeart. Brown k Bailey for Plff., Speer, MeMurtrie k Fleming for Deft.

Stewart and wife. Lovell fat Plff., Brown 1c Bailey for Deft. Summons in asstimpsit. Set tled amicably by the parties before it was call ed for trial. Jacob Hoffman vs. John Bare. Speer, Mc- Mnrtrie & Fleming for Puff., Woods & William son for Deft. Summons in case. The facts are Defendant built a large tannery at Mt. Union and afterward• sold it to plaintiff. De fendant then proceeded to build a second tan nery near the first. He laid pipes and carried off to his tannery a portion of the water from the stream that supplied plaintiff's tannery.— Plaintiff alleges that there was bat a limited supply of water in the first instance, and by taking away from his tannery a part of that supply the defendant has done him great dam age. This Jase was tried at November Term last, and the verdict was for the plaintiff. A new trial was granted on the ground that the plaintiff bad attempted to improperly influence one of the jurors after he was sworn. At this term leave was given to plaintiff, by the Court, to file an amended declaration upon which the defendant pleaded surprise, and the case was continued, to be placed on the second week's list for August Term next. F. B. Reese & Co., vs. A. B. Franks. Woods & Williamson for Piff., Speer, McMurtrie Fleming for Deft. Appeal by defendant. Con tinned, by consent, and hereafter to be placed on list as if brought to January Term, 1873. SECOND WEEK.—Rose M. Herron and Gen. A. P. Wilson's heirs vs. David Blair. Petriken b Massey, Speer and Dorris for Plffs., J. S. Blair and Scott At Brown for Deft. This was an action in ejectment to recover the posses sion of some coal lands, in Carbon township. It seems that Jacob Cresswell had laid a war rant for these lands in 1853, and plaintiffs claimed title from and under him, while the defendant claimed title from Catherine Broad stone, who made a settlement upon, and an improvement of, the same lands in 1851, and afterwards conveyed the disputed property to defendant by her deed. Plaintiffs admitted as improvement, but alleged that Catharine Broadstone had not laid her claim to the whole 23 acres ; but that her improvement consisted of about three or four acres immediately sur rounding the house she had built, and that their writ did not include this. The case was long and vlry close, and also ably conducted, our best legal talent being employed upon it. The jury, after remaining out all night, came in next day with a verdict for defendant. The same case had been tried the first time eleven years before to the very day, and there now being two verdicts to the same effect, the cause is concluded, at least in this Court. Samuel It. Douglas for use vs H. S. Whar ton. Woods k Williamson and Petriken for Plff., Brown & Bailey and Speer for Deft. Sum mons in debt upon a promissory note for $l,OOO given in 1865, by defendant, to W. H. Woods, Peter M. Bare et. al., and by them in dorsed to P. M. Bare, and by him indorsed to the plaintiff in this action. Defendant and P. 11. Bare were engaged in business in partner ship, and defendant alleged that on a settle ment of their business P. M. Bare would be indebted to him in a considerable amount He claimed this indebtedness as a set off to the note, or a part of the face of the note, and to avail himself of this defence defendant en deavored to have the partnership business opened; but the Court ruled that this could net be allowed in this form of action and would only be proper in an action of account render. The Court then instructed the jury to find for the plaintiff, which they did, in the sum of $1,479. A motion and reasons for a new trial were then filed by the counsel for defendant. Edward Williams vs. The Adams Express Company. Woods & Williamson for PM., Pe triken & Massey for Deft. Sammons in as sumpsit. Edward Williams is a colored man, who, in the year 1865, enlisted in the 11. S. army, going from Porter township, which paid him a bounty. His wife resided in Alexan dria. After he received his bounty the plain tiff enclosed $175 of it in the usual way to send by Express to his wife at Alexandria.-- The envelope was first addressed to his wife, in care of Christian Flemish ; afterwards the same of Mr. Varnish was erased, and that of Wm. Moore, of Alexandria, substituted in its place. With this address it was delivered to the Adams Express Company, who, instead Of giving it to Mrs. Williams or Mr. Moore, de livered it to Mr. Haraish without a written order from Mrs. Williams. Mr. Harnish failed to pay the money over to plaintiff's wife, and therefore this suit. This was the plaintiff's statement of the case. The defendant claimed that the money was delivered to Mr. famish by oeder of Mrs. Williams. The jury, after being out a short time, returned with a ver_ diet for the plaintiff for $260.43. Margaret A. Crownover vs. George P. Wake field. Brown & Bailey for Plff., Petriken & Massey for Deft. This was an action to recov er a small yearly amount which plaintiff Claim ed defendant was bound, by an implied prom ise, to pay her as the widow of Thomas Crown over, dec'd., she being, as his widow, entitled to dower in a tract of land sold by order of Orphans' Court to William A. Logan. The plaintiff alleged that at the time of the sale notice was given to • the purchaser that the land was subject to the payment of dower, and that thus far the tenants of said land had continued to pay her yearly the sum of about $l3 as dower. The property was again sold at Orphans' Court sale and was purchased by one Mr. Withington, who afterwards sold it to defendant. Withington and Wakefield refu sed to pay the widow Crownover's claim for dower and she sued to recover it. The Court ruled that defendant was not liable in this form of action, and directed the jury to find for the defendant. A special verdict for the defendant was accordingly given. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. Adam Speck et. al. Musser for PIE.. Petriken & Massey and Woods & Williamson for Defts• Seim Facies on forfeited recognizance of bail. Rule pending to show cause why forfeiture of rocognizance should not be taken off, and therefore this case continued. Evaline Booher's use vs. William &miter.

Speer, McMurtrie & Fleming for Plff., P. M. & M. S. Lytle for Deft. This was an action for trespass for killing a hog owned by plaintiff. The beating and abuse which causedthe death of the animal was alleged to have been done by frenry McClure, one of the defendants, he being the hired hand of Joshua Gorsuch and Rebecca Gorsuch, the other defendants, and further it was alleged that at the time of the beating Rebecca was present, and permitted it to be done by her employee, thus making herself liable for bis:act. Evidence was con filleting. The jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $3O. David Newingham's Exesator vs. A. P. Wil son's Admr. This was a &ire Facias upon a mortgage, the dispute being as to the amount due. A check, which was drawn payable to Newingham's Executor, was found among Gen. Wilson's papers, and the check having been cashed, his Administrator claimed credit for it; but the jury, in a short time after leav ing the box, returned, finding for the plaintiff the whole amount claimed—s76l.69. John G. Ritter vs. Johns Houck et. al. Blair and Petriken for Plff., Cremer and Speer for Defts. An action in ejectment to recover a house and lot in Petersburg. Plaintiff claimed as the husband of Rebecca Ritter, dee'd., in whom the title to this property was vested.— Defendant claimed under a deed from Rebecca Ritter to James Walls. The deed was that of a married woman without her husband being joined and on the ground of such deed con veying no title, the Court instructed the jury to find for the plaintiff the land described in the writ. A motion and reasons for a new trial filed by defendants. Joseph Douglas vs. Daniel Megaban and wife. Mattern for Plff., Speer, McMurtrie & Fleming for Defts.

The rights of the public and the liabili ties of supervisors were pretty freely discussed during this trial, making it one of the most interesting civil cases tried for some time.— The jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of one hundred and sixty dollars. Dr. Henry Orlady vs. Joseph Johnston.— Musser for Plff., Speer, McMurtrie & Fleming for Deft.

Steinhoff and IL A. Beck,while passing down Washington street, between Second and Third, heard a sharp, shrill oat-cry, as of some one in mortal agony and trepidation, apparently is suing from the little brick school house yard is the rear of the Court House. At this mo ment they saw an individual running from them. Listening a moment they thought they heard a scuffle between two persons inside of the yard and a suppressed shriek. They en tered the yard, and were confronted by three negroes, the fourth having fled on their ap proach, who were holding and struggling with a small negro girl named Malissa Dennison, a daughter of a widow woman residing up Woodcock Valley. Two of the negroes re maining fled precipitately, while the third was seized by Mr. Wordier, who with heroic forti tude, held on to him until he lodged him safely in jail. This culprit gave the names of the other offenders to Chief of Police West brook, end by twelve o'clock two more were arrested. The fourth Las not been arrested. The names of the perpetrators of this infamous outrage are John Bell, Joseph Yaw, Webster Thomas and David Crantz. The little girl was enticed from the residence of her employer, James H. Boring, Esq., by telling her that her mother had come to town and was stopping at Mosy Jackson's, and had sent for her to come and see her at that place, and when she was passing the school house they seized her and dragged her into the yard and outraged her. A hearing was had, on Monday morning last, before Esquire Swoope, and the rascals were marched off to limbo in default of bail. LOOK Bari]-James E. Port, successor to A. B.

Simon Subscription Book Publisher, No. 29 South Sixth Street Philadel phia, Pa., has just published a work under the above title, by Maj. Wm. C. Armor, of the Executive Department of the State. It is a very handsome octavo volume, of about 540 pages, including the portraits,-29 in number very finely executed—printed on fine white paper with large clear fliced type, and bound in the best style. It contains the lives of the Governors of the State from its earliest settlement, carefully compiled, free from partisan hate or slander ous allusions engendered by political warfare. In addition to the biographical sketches, there is a complete epitome of the history of the State from it origin to thepresent time, which is a valuable feature. It i§ divided into five parts. The first is taken up with the early settlement of the State, and the lives of the Dutch and Swedish Governors. The second includes the period of the Proprietary Government with sketches of the Colonial Governors. The third is or npied with the era of the Revolution, and memories of the lives of the Presidents of Pennsylvania. The fourth embraces the events of the War of 1812 and the "Buckshot War," and contains the biographies of the Governors of the Commonwealth under the Constitution of 1790. The fifth outlines, the rise and fall of the Rebellion, and comprises the lives of the Governors under the Constitution of 1838. Agents wanted for tho sale of the work in Huntingdon County.

Samuel Adams gave a very instructive tc,-sure, to the Ooum muse, on Tuesday even ing of last week, on his explorations of the Colorado river and the region drained by it. The Captain spent five years and upwards in this region and he demonstrated beyond a doubt that-this noble river is e er.e; ebb fir a dis of seven hundred and twenty miles, with out scarcely any obstruction, and by the judi cious outlay ofa few thousand dollars it could be made navigable for a much greater distance. For many miles and at many places the river is walled in by great canons rising perpendic ularly thousands of feet above the level of its surface. The scenery, as described by the Captain, is supremely grand. The region drained by this great river is represented by him to be thirteen times great er than the State of New York and to contain great parks or valleys and the richest mineral region in the United States. Here he found the ruins of cities, which were built by some intelligent people, unknown to us, thirteen miles in length and hundreds of miles of ca nals. The Captain made a full report of his wonderful discoveries to the Government in 1869, and yet not a single farthing, lie alleges, has been paid him by the powers that be for all his hair-breadth escapes and valuable in formation. It is high time that the services of this gentleman were recognized. Try those .Fast Horse" Segars at James E Port's. They are tip-top. fmT--2 w TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Woller's Grove, May 3, 1873. Letter from West Township. MR. EDITOR I—lt was our pleasure some two or three weeks ago, to attend an exhibition given by the scholars of Myton's school, in West township. At the entertainment, each scholar performed his part with such credit to himself and teacher, that we think they de serve notice in the columns of your paper. The school has been taught for three terms by George Henderson, who has given very cred itable satisfaction both as a disciplinarian and instructor; as ample evidence was given in the manner in which the various peiees were performed, and the conduct of the schol ars on this occasion. The house was decora ted in gorgeous style, and showed evident signs that it had cost an immense amount of labor. The ceiling was decorated with two wreaths drawn in such a manner as to form an X from the center of which was hung a globose wreath within which was placed a lamp, a wreath was festooned along the ceil ing in front of the curtains which made it all have she appearance of a room arranged as a model of the painters. But the handsomest was consented from us, until the curtain rolled up,; and then we might say our eyes ravished at au art gallery which we cannot describe. The room thus preseted,was unutterably grand indeed, and really made us wish for a mo ments rest in one of the easy chairs which were placed near a table, upon which were placed the words "all are Welcome." These ...2874 163,171 94,818 68,353 let a charm to the scene, and the one who could not say "Grand," from his heart, is a stranger to what is pleasing to the eye and excites an emotion of grandeur. The exer cises were then begun by presenting the school, which was arranged on the stage in the order of size. They looked handsome—and greeted us with a song, "Work for the Right," which was sung as children only can sing. The ex ercises which followed were of such a char acter as to call forth the admiration of every one. The "recitations" and "declamations" were of the purest thought, and had evidently been chosen for their real merit, and that the mind might profit by the mental food taus devoured. It would he impossible f r us to notice the various performances in their order, but we cannot pass on without noticing the "Tableaux" which were, as all said, "Grand." Thefe were representations that excited the pleasure of all, and showed with what zeal the school had labored to have the entertainment pleasant. "Faith, Hope and Charity," were represented in an admirable form. The three characters were arrayed in white, and grouped about a Cro33 ; two cling ing to it and t le third having an attitude of prayer in front of them. The appearance was truly elegant, and as the curtain rolled down the whispered exclamation of "0, isn't it beau tiful ?" th .t rang over the assembly gave evi dence of success. The representation was so exquisite that it was thought it could not be equalled until the curtain rolled up on the "Angel Sleeper." The scene was truly solemn, and from the silence that reigned through the audience it seemed as though they were hold iug their lir ath least they might disturb the infant sleeper as it lay in its death like atti tude, or cause the Angel, as it stood with its outstretched wings, to frown on them. At the close of the performances, which were all well done, the school was arraigned again on the stage as at the opening of the exercises.— This, Mr. Editor, was really a tableaux which presented many intelligent countenances and pretty faces. The teacher then came forward and made a few appropriate remarks to the patrons of the school, showing the necessity of education and the dangerous use of igno rance, urging the patrons to become more in terested in education, impressing upon them the importance and the need ofvisiting schools, and also making some very appropriate re marks on the duties of "Directors," and show ing the importance of selecting capable men 'for this office, men who will work, then pay them for their labor. Then turning to the school, he spoke to them for some time on the "purposes of life," and it was really an excel ent, and very appropriate speech, but just as he had said his last word, the whole was crowned most gloriously by one of the schol ars presenting him with an elegantly bound Bible, costing $l5, and raised, as we under stand, wholly by - the scholars. The presenta tion remarks were very neat and affecting— declaring their appreciation of his labors, and asking that he should accept the testimonial as a mark of their regard and esteem for him, as a teacher, for which in a few well spoken words, he most heartily thanked them. The scene was an affecting one, and from the flirting of handkerchifs, we noticed that others than the school were affected. After this followed the "Valedictory," and a song "Good Night," by the school. And thus closed one of as good, if not the best exhibition that ever has been given in the neighborhood. Such entertainment have a tendency to ex cite an interest in education, as each one has a desire for their children to excel those of their neighbor, and where they are conducted as this one was, good will eventually be the result. The school and teacher deserve credit for the careful manner in which they had pre pared their parts, and for the efficient manner in which they delivered them. West township, May 1, 1873.

Invalids, try them, and ho 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 arc sold by first-elass Druggist. and Merchants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York. the Virginias, Ohio, Indiana, and the District of Columbia. Surely they are not humbugs or they would'nt he 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.ughs and Colds if need 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 trirtt to convince any one that it will core Cramp Colic, Ennions, etc. The Hepatica Pills are an Alternative Cathartic, and should be used in every family.
