trusted with public interests.
Some six strapping big fellows were brought
before Chief Burgess, Boring, by Chief of Po

hoped that they will, in the future, End some

tion.
The way some of the engineers, who run the
passenger trains on the Peensylvania, dash in
to town is frightful. We would sooner enceun
tti a mad bull than stand en the track ahead
of these fellows. They would knock a fellow

eye l
A friend representing a firm writes: "We
get two copies of the JOURNAL. We find one
copy quite interesting, but much as we appre
ciate your JOURNAL, we seldom find time to
read the second copy." Shouldn't be sur
prised! There can be even too much of a good
thing, you know.

.an July 2nd.
We were visited by Messrs: Wishart and
Hughes, of Everett, on Friday last, who were

sion of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, at
Wilkesbarre. They were higly pleased with
their trip. Call agaia, gentlemen.
Thos. Burchinell, Esq., has a most splendid
water power which he feels like turning to
account. If he could procure a partner, well
acquainted with running a Woolen Factory, he
would proceed to erect such an eEtablish
meat. Here is a fine chance for a practical
man with a few thousand dollars of a capital.
The members of the Lutheran Church are
preparing to erect a new Church building. A
series of Festivals, to raise funds fer this
purpose, will be given during the season. One
will be held at the Castillian Garden, in the
course of a few days. They should be liberally
patronized. A new Church building is badly
needed.
The half dozen of fast chaps who stole a
keg of beer, on Saturday night, and carried it
out, on Sabbath morning, back of Cemetry
Hill, can have the sack in which they carried
it, if they will call on Chief of Police West
brook. The sack is marked ".1. Cunningham,
Huntingdon. Penna." It is not supposed that
this venerable and esteemed gentleman knew
any thing of the base use to which his property
was being applied.
An unexpected ascension took place at the
Lutheran Church, Jackson township, last Sab
bath. After morning service and while the
congregation was leaving the church, Mrs.
John Miller, lately married, of Petersburg,
this county, was suddenly deprived of her
wedding veil. A gale of wind lifted it from
her head, and carried it aloft to regions
above. It was a beautiful sight, (perhaps
not to Mrs. Miller,) to see it sailing upward
until the eye could no longer behold it. Who
will find it?
A wag determined to perpetrate a "sell" on
a few of the lager•sueking b'hoyo on Saturday
evening last. lie prepared a keg, stuck it in
an obscure pipe, and then informed some of
them that he knew where a keg of lager was
secreted. After the crowd disappeared from
the neighborhood of the depot, a couple of
chaps hauled out the keg, and made off with it ;
when they bad reached a place of safety they
applied the tap to discover that it was filled
with nothing, strong& than water ! Their
curses were not only loud, but deep. The keg
was unceremoniously dismissed.
We understand that Col. Wm. Dorris has
been selected to teach the Bible lesson at the
Sunday School Convention. This is a wise
selection, and we are satisfied this lesson will
be made one of the most interesting exercises
of the Convention. The subject of the lesson
is particularly good and attractive, viz:
"Prophetic Blessings," founded on Genesis,
norm : 15-16, and xt,tx : 8-10, and a glance
at the Golden Text is sure to create an earnest
desire to search out the lesson, viz: "The
sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh
come ; and unto him shall the gathering of
the people be."
-Mr. H. L. Russ, who was for a number of years
connected with the Harrisburg Telegraph Job
Office, and whole experienced and thoroughly
skilled in his profession, is now in charge of
the JOURN. Job Office r and is prepared to do
all kinds of Job work in a manner that cannot
be surpassed by any of the regular city Job
Offices. This is the first time in the history of
the printing business In this place, that one who
has spent much Ma lifetime, exclusively de
voted to Job Printing, has been engaged here.
We hope this liberal enterprise will be duly
appreciated by our people, and that all those
who have Job work to do will give us a
trial. tf.
Occasionally a good bit happens to the
Sunday School. A few Sabbaths ago, Senator
Scott, who- last session voted for the repeal of
the franking privilege, was examining the
Presbyterian Sabbath School, in this place, on
a review of the lesson of the day, which rela
ted to that part in the history of the life of
Joseph where Simon was kept in prison in
Egypt until his brothers would return with
Benjamin. "Why was Simon kept in prison?"
asked Mr. Scott, "had he been guilty of theft 2"
Van Blair, who teaches a class of Stone-Creek
ere, in the back part of the chapel, told one of
his boys to answer that it was for a hostage.
Not catching the exact sound of the word, and
not understanding its meaning, the boy piped
out, "he war detained for postage!"
HANDSOME NEW PASSENGER AND
BAGGAGE Cats.—The new passenger and bag
gage cats put on the Broad Top Railroad, on
Thursday morning last are 'models of beauty
and in style and finish are not surpassed by
any cars on the Pennsylvania or any other
road in or out of the State. Upon entering
one of these beautiful parlor-like conveyances
the eye is greeted with a picture of neatness
and grandeur at once striking that cannot but'
call forth expressions of admiration, and en
genders a desire to indulge in frequent rides
over the road. These coaches are raised top,
inside of which are ventilators of beautiful
stained glass, ceiling lined with oil cloth of
elegant design, sides of white ash panneled,
top finish of the same wood, window frames
and sash of cherry, the finish of all being of
the finest order. Spring cushioned seats and
back covered with crimson velvet and reverse
side with green velvet, exceedingly inviting to
the traveler. The coaches are heated wills
latest improved heaters, and conductors with
registers on both sides, full length of coach,
heating the car regularly throughout, a very
excellent improvement on the old style. In
every particular these coaches are gotten up
in a style flattering to the taste of the archi
tect. To the energetic Superintendent, G. F.
Gage, Esq., through whose earnest efforts in
behalf of the comfort of passengers over the
road he so ably presides, is due the credit of
having such elegant and comfortable coaehes
placed upon the road.. They were built in
Wilmington, Dcl., and reflect much credit up
on the mechanic under whose supervision they
were constructed. Conductors Adams and
Longnecker, to whose trains these coaches are
attached, have reason to be proud of their
new out-fit."
THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COM
PANY has issued the following notice to Pas
senger Conductors : It having been alleged
that news-agetns have offered for sale, in the
cars of thisnCompany, without knowledge of
their employers, immoral and obscene publi•

or offered for sale, on trains, and to immedi
ately report any attempt to do so to the Divi
sion Superintendent.
Passengers conductors are also instructed
that the newsagents are subject to their dis
cipline while on their trains. They should see
that they are not allowed to offer their com
modities in such a manner, or with such fre
quency, as to discommode or annoy the pas
sengers ; and they should not permit any ar
ticle to be sold which might soil or injure the
upholstery of the cars or the clothing of the
passengers. The sale of prize portfolios, gift
confections, or similar devices partaking of

of this Company. By order of the General
Manager. G. Clinton Gardener, General Su
perintendent.

r Art to the Division Superintendents, or the
leneral Superintendent, any violation of these

tire.
The old and reliable establishment of Henry
& Co., has received oae of the largest, finest
and cheapest assortment of goods ever brought
to Huntingdon. li.
LITERARY NoncEs.—The Aldine for
June shows what the landscape painters of
America can do, when they have a mind to
work, in black and white. They paint pictures
which are seen for a short time in their stadios,
and then are seen no more, except by their
purchasers ; being, in fact, as much removed
from the actual world of art as if they did not
exist. It is otherwise with them when they
are drawn on wood, and seen by the thousands
of readers of THE ALDINE, in every section of
the country, who constitute a powerful art
constituency, and in a certain sense,represent
Posterity. Mr. Kruseman Van Ellen's oil pic
tures are well known to connoisseurs of art;
his "View near Granby, Cone.," in the June
ALDINE, makes his talent known throughout
the whole United States. Mr. R. W. Hubbard's
"Distant View of Mount Mansfield" is one of '
the most delightful landscapes we have ever
seen. These two drawings are the gems of
the number, as regards landscapes. Among
the figure-pieces to be noticed and commended
are "The Signal," after Hellwig, and "The
Sisters," a Roman interior, after Coomans.
Mr. Peter Moran contributes two eh arnaing ani
mal pictures, "The Bull - Calf. - a barn yard
study, and a "Group of Sheep," which are
better than any that Verboeckhoven ever
painted, or ever will paint, for Mr. Moran has
caught, what Verboeckhoven generally misses
—the feeling, the instinct of the animal world.
From Mr. 31. W. Cary we have "A Stampede
of Wild Horses," which is a striking aad most
vigorous composition. Then there is "In the
Park," "The Old Mill," of Kessler, and a "View
in Old Amsterdam," after Herman, who has
no superior as a marine architectural painter.
The literature of this number is remarkable
for its excellence. There are two stories of
New England life, either of which would be
the literary feature of the month in any other
magazine. The poetry is as good as ever,
Miss Kate Putnam Osgood being represented
by a pathetic dirge, "At the Last ;" Mr. W.
W. Bailey by "The First and Fairest," one of
his flower-fancies ; John Sydney by "A Ghilani
Song; Henry Richards by two sparkling verses
on "June ;" and S. Lang by "The Stampede,"
a spirited dialect poem, appropos to Mr. Cary's
illustration. Subscription price $5, including
Chromes "Village Belle" and "Crossing the
Moor." James Sutton & Co., publishers, 58
Maiden Lane, New York.
The opening article of the June number of
Lippincott's Magazine is in happy accord with
the feeliags incident to the season. Under
the title of "A New Atlantic," it describes, in
al ively and very agreeable manner, the scenery
and society of Atlantic City and its charac
teristics as a watering-place. The illustra
tions which accompany the article are numer
ous and appropriate. In this issue "The
Ronmi in Kabylia," which has proved a most
attractive record of travel in a comparatively .
unknown region, is brought to a close. "Our
Home in the Tyrol," by Margaret Howitt, is
continued. This series of sketches is invested
with an unusual charm. Its graceful style,
fresh and entertaining narrative, and beautiful
engravings combine to make it one of the
leading attractions of the magazine. The
Lady Menem Murphy, whose knowledge of
aristocratic life in Great Britain, coupled with
an engaging facility in the use of her pen,
renders her articles both trustworthy and at
tractive, furnishes a history and description
of that ancient, peculiar and romantic resi
dence, Stains Castle, the family seat of the
Earls of Erroll. Dr. A. C. Hamlin contrib
utes a paper upon one of the most beautiful
of gems, the emerald, treating his - subject in
its relations to science, history, (esthetics, and
commerce. The article is popular in its
style and full of information. "flowery Eng
land" by Wirt Sikes, is a picture of rural
England in the summer time. "A Reminis
cence of the Exposition of 1867," by Ita Aniol
Prokop, is a simple, but very naive and pleas
tag account of what befell two young ladies,
who, without escort, attempted to visit Paris,
for the purpose of seeing the Exposition. The
contributions to fiction in the current number
of Lippincott's Magazine are the continuations
of Mr. Black's "Princess of Thule" and Mrs.
Rebecca Harding Davis's "Berrytown." Both
stories well maintain the reputations of their
respective authors. The number contains two
poems, "Saint Romualdo," by Emma Lazarus,
and "Day-Dream,' by Kate Putnam Osgood.
"Our Monthly Gossip" presents, among a va
riety of short and pithy articles, a sketch of
the family of Mr. Gladstone, the British prime
minister, and a fugitive piece from the pen of
Prentice Mulford, entitled "The Raw Ameri
can." With the forthcoming issue, Lippincott's
Magazine will enter upon its twelfth volume.
The June Number of Harper's Magazine
opens the Forty-seventh Volume under most
brilliant auspices. The number contains
sixty-seven engravings, and all its illus
trated articles with one exception, relate to
our own country. The May Number contain
ed a very pleasant sketch of a yatching trip
among the Azores. In the current Number a
beautifully illustrated article, by B. D. Jarves,
on "Cheap Yatching," gives pen and pencil
pictures of the interesting localities about
Buzzard's Bay. Through Mr. Lossing's pen,
and the kindness of Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet,
of New York, who has placed in the artist's
bands his rare pictures from the celebrated
Lord Rawdon collection, we have a very in
teresting paper entitled "The Marquis of Has
tings in America." Miss Constance F. Wool
son contributes a very entertaining paper, ex
cellently illustrated, on the "Wine Islands of
Lake Erie." A very characteristic article,
giving the details of a tour in the Harz Moun
tains, or "Toy-country" of North Germay, with
nearly thirty novel illustrations of character
and scenery, is contributed by Henry Black
burn, formerly Editor of London Society.
Charles Nordhoffanswers the question, "What
shall we de with Szro,ggs ? by advocating
conversion of Alaska into a penal oniony, un
der military rule.
Miss Thackeray's "Old Kensington," and
Wilkie Collins "New Magdalen," are conclud
ed in this number, and two strong short stories
are given—"A song in many keys," by the late
Miss Caroline Chesebro, and "Ebb and Flow,"
by Harriet Prescott Spofford, Charles Reade's
serial, "A Simpleton," is continued.
Miss H. It. Hudson contributes another ex
sellent illustrated poem, "To-morrow." Poems
are also given by Bayard Taylor, William C.
Richards, and Carl Spencer.
Among the striking features of Scribner's for
June are N. P. Longford's entertaining and
splendidly illustrated account of "The Ascent
of Mount Hayden ;" a new picture and bio
graphy of Fret Harte; illustrated papers on
Cornell University and "Our Postal-Car Ser
vice ;" a curious and important paper by Gen.
Walker, superintendent of the late Census, on
the relative increase, by births, of the "Amer
ican Irish and American Germans ;" "A Seance
with Foster the Spiritualist ;" and an article
by Prot'. Wise, the well known aeronaut, in
opposition to the received theory of the tides.
An interesting account of a visit to the Pope
is given, and there are two capital short
stories, "Capt. Luce's Enemy," by J. T. M'Kay;
and "An Old fashioned Story," by Marian
Stockton ; besides the continuation of Dr. Hot.
land's "Arthur Bennicastle," in which the he
ro has a New Year's experience. Dr. Holland,
in "Topics of the Time," discusses "The At
lantic Disaster and its Lessons ;" and "Con
science and Courtesy in Ctitieism." In the
"Old Cabinet" there are half a dozen sonnets;
"Home and Society" and Etchings are more
than usually full, and in "Culture and - Pro
gress" there are, beside the book-reviews ar
ticles on "The William Morris Window" and
other art matters.
The "Great South" series will be commenc
ed in the July number of Scribner's.
The June number of that time honored

ON TUE WAR 'PATH —Captain Jack's
!dodoes are on the war path. Big Injins are
preparing the paint to tattoo the grim visages
of the great warriors, while the young bucks
are picking the fliated arrows. The great war
dance contes,off in Bedford on the 24th of
June. More than "eight little boffins' will be
gathered together, in solemn conclave, on
that occasion. The Great Winnebago, who
rules supreme over the tribe, will not be
present in person, but some trusted warrior
will make a "talk" for hint. And the words
of Winnebago, the Great Squelcher of the
lesser of his tribe, will be heeded. When lie
says "down !" the little warriors tremble and
vanish, but when he says ' , up !" the hideous
war dance begins, the braves in their drunken
delight reel around the council fires, and even
the little pappooses kick up their heels with
joy. But the Modecs arc not so sate in their
lava beds, secured in this county last, full, as
they may imagine. The "pale faces" will
bring out their big guns, and, through a
united effort, and with a few well directed
shells, drive the enemy from the stronghold.
It can and will be done. Would you mind,
young Modocs ?—Bedford Gazette.
We reprint, with sincere regret and com
miseration, the above as a mournful evidence
of the mental condition of our neighbor. Ali 1
John! John! Old fellow, have a care, or you
will be finding snakes in your boots next.
You knew the miserable stuff to be had in
these days of Local Option is not to be taken
in large doses, nor yet too frequently. Be
warned, dear fellow, and take to drinking
butter milk.
INCENDIARISM.—The National Beard of
Fire Underwriters, at their late meetingin the
city of New York, resolved to raise a fund of
$lOO,OOO for the detection, conviction and
punishment of parties engaged in the nefari
ous business of incendiarism and arson. The
executive committee of that board, at their
meeting on the 14th inst., carried out the res
olution and opened the subscription.
We hail this movement as a step in the
right direction and commend the action as
one not only likely to benefit underwriters
but also to protect the public from wholesale
loss. This action is the most important when
it is remembered that the experience of the
large fire insurance in the United States shows
that the percentage of loss to be attributed to
the above causes is not less than 33 per cent.
of the whole, or a loss to the country of at
least twenty five millions of dollars per an
num.—Evening Bulletin, May 16, 1873.
_A NEW BOOT AND SHOE SHOP.-Louis Rich

tion. Try him 'once.

THE STEEL-FOCKLER SUIT DECIDED.
—The controversy in regard to the title to the
land, on which the town of Ssxton is situated,
has jest been settled by a decision of the
Supreme Court. The case was taken thereby
au appeal from the decree of the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Bedford county, and was ar
gued by Milton S. Lytle, esq., for George A,
Steel and by Hon. John Cessna for the execu
trix and heirs of Jacob Fockler, deceased. It
resulted in the confirmation of the
,decree, by
which George A. Steel was declared to be the
owner of the one undivided third partof about
three hundred and fifty lots in the town and
over one hundred acres of land adjoiningand
surrounding it. In addition to this the ex
ecutrix was ordered to pay to Steel the third
part of all the money received for the lots sold
from the laying out of the town until the 3rd
of June last. The amount due Steel, after
dedueting his share of expenses, is about
$3,500. The total value of the lauds and
money secured to Steel's estate, he having
died within the last month, by this decree, is
considerable, probably from $15,000 to s2o,_
900. The legal proceedings in this ease were
commenced by Steel against the Focklers in
1869, nearly four years ago. It is fortunate
for the town of Saxton that the matter is
settled, as the uncertainty in regard to the title
prevented sales aid improvement of lots and
retarded the growth of the place.

CATTLE MARKET.
turtmone, MAY 22.—Beef Cattle.—Tho mar
ket has been very dull this week, the unfavorable
character of the weather having had a depressing
effect throughout, as there has been no activity at
any time id its progress. The sluggishness of
proceedings has been attended with a decline of A
@lc 11 lb, the most marked difference being in
the tops ; those of a medium and more inferior
quality, especially the latter, being somewhat
scarce and in fair demand, while those of the
lowest order were most conspicuous by their ab
sence.
Prices to-day for Beef Cattle ranged as follows:
Beet beeves at $6 25 ®7 00; that generally rated
first quality $5 00 ®5 25; medium or good fair
quality $5 00®5 50; ordinary thin steers, oxen
and cows $0 00®1 00; inferior and lowest grades
of cattle, $0 00®0 00; general average of the
market to-day $6 00 ; extreme range of prices, $5 00
®7 00. Most of the sales were from 65 50 to 650
1,1 100 lbs. Of the receipts 357 head came from
Ohio, SO from Maryland, 390 from Illinois, and
356 from Pennsylvania—total receipts for the
week 1218 head, against 1265 last week, and 1137
head same time last year. Of the offerings 796
head were taken by Baltimore butchers, 288 bead
sold to Washington City and Annapolis dealers—
total sales for the week 1084 head, against 1245
last work, and 978 head . same time last year.
ace], and Lambe.—The receipts of sheep were
quite large again this week, showing an increase
as compared with last week: prices have in con
sequence given way I®ae p tb, the greater de
cline being en the common grades. The quality
of the receipts was somewhat better than last
week, and while the tops show no change in fig
ures, the lower grades exhibit a decline of le. At
the decline the market has been fairly active. We
quote common to extra sheep at s4(o'. 51c "Fl lb
gross. Lambs at $2 50 ®5 1.1 head, Writ a supply
fully up to the demand. Receipts this week 8875
head, against 2548 last week, and 4507 same time
last year.
Hogc—Thore has been a comparatively light
run of hogs this week, hit owing to the rather
heavy receipts of last week, which the butchers
providentially absorbed, leaving the market at the
close rather bare of stock, the supply has about
kept pace with the demand, and prices have been
fairly maintained, and though there has been con
siderable firmness in view of the present light
supply, there has been no advance in priees, as
somewhat fuller receipts were anticipated the last
of this week. We quote at $7 50@8 7p; too
not. Receipts this weak 5295 bead against 10,347
last week, and 8702 head same time last year. -
