Thera ought to be at least six furnaces dis
tributed along the Broad Top Railroad between
Huntingdon and Marklesburg. Here all the
necessary materials to manufacture iron can
be bad in large quantities, at a very trifling
expense for transportation. The Broad Top
Railroad, under its present management, is
capable of meeting every demand upon it.
The sucker fellers who buy beer by the keg,
at the brewery, have always to advance two

dollars. The brewery man didn't make much

It was an interesting sight to see a squad of

without it such an exhibition of woful coun

Quite a row was precipitated at the depot,
on Friday evening as the military companies
were about to leave. Several young bloods of
the town, who make it a point to figure on
such occasions, got to pummelling cash other
and in less time than it takes to tell the story,
a dozen or two were drawn into it, and things
looked lively. But the Police were promptly

roughly while others retired slightly damaged.
Col. Williams, it seems, hiss been branching
out into Centre county. He has bought out
a marble yard over in Bellefonte and intends
to push things over there. Here is what the
Bellefonte Republican says about him: "Al
though Williams' business is relatively a
dead one, yet he is not a dead man in busi
ness by any means, but to the contrary is al
ways alive and consulting the interests and
requirements of his patrons. All who give
him a call will he pleased, and will bo fully
accommodated in his line."
Dave Thompson, a colored individual, was
found, with his head and side seriously inju
red,
lying over a stone wall, near Second and
Penn streets, on Friday morning - last, where
he had either fallen or been thrown during the
night. One of his boots was found on Mifflin
street, which leads us to believe that some
persons "went through him" and threw him
over the wall where he was found. He has
been speechless ever since found, and cannot,
therefore, give any clue to the mystery. The
police have the matter in hands.
Th ere is no point in the State where iron
can be manufactured and put into market as
cheap as at Huntingdon. Within a radius of
a few miles are coal, Lon ore, limestone, sand
and fire clay. We hazard nothing when we
say that iron can be manufactured here at a
cost of from fifteen to eighteen dollars p:r
ton and yet there is not a single furnace at
this place. Why is this the ease ? Why will
capitalists haul these raw materials away
hundreds of miles to make money out of them
when they could manufacture them here and
save transportation ? It looks to us like stu
pidity.
It has been said, by those who ought to
know, that the policy of the Broad Top Rail
road has heretofore been directly antagonistic
to the interests of those living along the line.
That a stranger in traveling along the road
would, from the appearance of the farming
community, conclude that the road had just
been built, and its advantages had not yet
been felt by the people, instead of having been
in existence sixteen years. The new manage
ment is endeavoring to remove this antagon
istic feeling and to restore confidence, and in
the future the people and road will endeavor
to mutually profit by each other, and the poli
cy will soon tell on everybody.
Mr. E.L. Russ, who was for a number of year s
connected with the Harrisbnrg Telegraph Job
Office, and who is experienced and thoroughly
skilled in his profession, is now in charge of
the JOrnN►L Job Office, 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 firsttime in the history of
the printing business in this place, that one who
has spent much of a 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 ns a
trial. tf.
A successful forgery wan perpetrated upon
the Union Bank in this place, a short time
ago. A note purporting to have been drawn
by Adam Hoffman, one of our substantial citi
zens, was presented by a man named-John
Kline, who appeared to speak broken English,
for $ll6 and, without investigation, the bank
discounted it. The same party presented a
similar note at the First National, but there
being some irregularity about it, it was held
for further investigation and it was never
called for afterwards. It was no doubt a set
up job by some one who is an expert. Our
bank men will keep their eyes and ears open
for some time to come. The forgery was
pretty well executed.
An irate Wept Buntindoner tells the follow
ing on Maj. Wharton: It appears the Major
owns a black cow. A few nights ago she
failed to come home. The following evening
as the Major Was about to return from his
Shoe Factory, on Sixteenth street, he thought
lie espied his cow. "Thorp she is, blast her l"
ejaculated the Major, and he went for her.
But she was as stubborn as tt—rwell, as stub
born as a cow ceuld be I she ran down first
one cross-street then another, and the Major
sweated, and blower!, and cussed until an
hour or an hour and a half—almost too late
for supper—he brought her into his yard hand
somely. "Papa what are you going-to do
with that cow ?" piped one of the Major's
household pets. "Why put her in the stable,
of course, it is time she wore inl" patroniznig
ly rejoined the fagged-out Major. "But, Papa,
our black cow is in the stable." "W-h-e-t I"
That West Buntingdoner won't believe how
badly Barry was "sold." But others say he

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
From Cossville.
Cessvitz.s, May 27, 1873.
MR. EDITOIL :—I notice in last week's Globe
a letter from Cassville, making some slight
mistakes, which I would like to correct. The
facts are these On Saturday, the.3d of May,
a measure was brought to my house for a cof
fin for Lewis Bumgartner. The hour for leav
ing the house was fixed, and also the time for
preaching the funeral sermon, as is always the
case. As the roads were almost impassable
it was thought best to haul the coffin in a
spring-wagon instead of the hearse.
The reason for two coffins being ordered
are these A brother in-law of the deceased,
living on the opposite side of Cass - ville, on
passing through on his way to the house, spoke
to a man about making a coffin, which he pro-
Mised to do if they sent him a measure, not
knowing that the family hail attended to it,
but when lie got there and learned what was
done of course no other measure was sent nor
no other coffin made. On Sunday morning a
maa came in with a spring-wagon for the cof
fin, and requested me to accompany him, which
I did. On our way out we learned there was
preaching in the church at 10 o'clock, the time
appointed to leave the house. Oa arriving
there we acquainted the friends sod urged
them to wait until 11 o'clock, thinking the
services would be over, to which many ob
jccted on account of some having a great dis
tance to go. Consequently we started a little
before 11 o'clock, arriving at the church some
fifteen minutes before 12, and finding the ser
vices still in progress we entered in past the
church as quietly as we could, but the weep
ing of seine of the friends enraged the atten
tion of the people in the church,SOMC of whom
came out—most of them relatives—which no
doubt disturbed the congregation, a fact much
I to be regretted, for which no ono is particu
larly responsible. Rev. Dunlap not being pre
! cent I was requested to send for him, and
learning lie was not at home u lady came to
me and told me lie was in the church. I asked
her if he was engaged in the services an she
, said he was. not, that lie was sitting in the
stand. I then went into the church one or
two steps, per'iaps, from the door, and beak
oued him to coins out. Be read the funeral
I services at the grave and it was filled up.
The reason why we went to no ether church
for preaching was because it was appointed
there, and it was expected services would be
over by 12 o'clock. Some twenty minutes
after 12 services were over, and the congrega
tion passed out and the friends passed it, at
the ladies' aisle and I went in on the gentle
,mees' side, which was entirely empty except
one or two persons. I saw the friends stand
ing about half way down the aisle where some
ladies were standing talking. I went round
in front of the stand and requested them to
ptand to ono side, but being interested in their
own social greetings they did net bear de,
and I walked nearer but do not know that - I
touched any one. If J did it was only to at
tract their attention and said, "will you please
stand cut of the aisle so those persons can
pa, in ?" ordered no one out of the house;
never thought of it. I would Much rather all
had remained, as there was no lack ri room•
I intended no unkindness or disrespecs to any
one, and I never owned, rode or drove a mule.
I think nothing further worthy of notice, as
the letter referred to explains itself.
