What "A Sad Story" the Altoona Tribune,
of Monday morning, doles out. What does its
readers know about such an unearthly thing
as a Morgue ? Is it paving the way for a sim
ilar institution for Altoona?
The shipments of Cumberland coal, by way

The "Arandale House," which affords the
finest aceommodations of any hotel at Bedford
Springs, is now open for the reception of vis

against the management of this house. We
know whereof we speak.
The coming of a baby put the Times out of
joint two weeks ago. Harry was obliged to
stop the press for that little item. It was too
big a job to give birth to a paper and baby
all in the same week and so the baby came
and the Times stopped.
The worst wrecked vehicle we have set eyes
on for some time, was Mr. Bisbin's old Wheel
er & Wilson sewing machine wagon on Monday
of last week. Some noisy boys were the close
of it. The lamp on the corner of "sixth and
Washington, was dead broke."
Woods, we learn, is setting up the pins to
make delegates for the coming Convention.
He has tricked his own political adherents and
the Republican party generally about often
enough. The tricks of the League are too
well understood to win in the future.
Squire Ewing is enlarging his store room in
Franklinville, Efuntingdon county, says the
Herald. Fourteen feet added to the old store
room will give that place of business a decid
edly improved appearance, and of course will
add to the Squire's comfort and sales.
The Huntingdon JOURNAL is just one of the
most sprightly newsy sheets that find their
way to our sanctum.-Altoona Sun. Thank
you, friends. We can return the compliment
by saying that the Sun is one of the tidiest,
neatest and liveliest papers received atthis of
fice.
In Lancaster the country dutchy addresses
his neighbor whom lie happens to meet on the
street with "Wy, Chake, you aint in town
too ?" And then the interlocutor stands for,
two minutes regarding "Chake" until the lat
ter says : 'Wy, y-e-s I" This is one of Graw's
yarns.
Huntingdon ought to be au excellent point
for a Box Factory. Large boxes could be
manufactured to order and by cutting windows
and doors in them they would be ready for
dwellings. They wouldn't be much of au im
provement upon the prevailing style save in
the matter of roof.
We saw alarge cat fish, one of the largest
usually caught in the Susquehannab, in the
custody of a gentleman going west oa the
Mail Train ou Saturday evening. It had an
awful mouth ! A Bedford county man, full of
conundrums, wanted to know why it reminded
him of the local of the Gazette
Father Murphy is fixing up the yard and
fence so neatly and tidy in front of his church
and parsonage that he will soon he looking

clever thing, can do. His enterprise and
taste help things wonderfully in that locality.
Robert-the Scribe has been playing broad

Mr. E. L. Russ, under whom we are not
ashamed to say we took our first lessons in
job printing, is in charge of the Huntingdon
Jammu, job office. Besides being a good citi
zen and a gentleman in every way, manner or
shape, he is a printet who thoroughly under
stands his business. Come and see us, Ed.—
Tyrone herald.
The Methodists hold a Strawberry and Ice
Cream Festival in the Castilian Garden, this
(Tuesday) evening. The Huntingdon Silver
Cornet Band will be present. Every effort
will be made by the Committee to render the
Festival pleasant and agreeable to its patrons.
Should the evening be rainy and unfavorable
it will be held in the church.
Mr. George Heller, resident of Pennsylvania
Furnace, this county, aged seventy-seven
years, says the Tyrone llerald, cuts and ranks
two and a half cords of wood per day, which
is not so slow for a gentleman of his age. The
same man 'Missed the train and walked from
Altoona to Tyrone Forges, a distanee of some
seventeen miles, from nine o'clock till four, a
week or two since.
If the Bedford Springs were Co pass into the
hands of enterprising parties, who would make
it an object to endeavor to meet the require.
ments of the public, it would add a Million of
dollars to the wealth of the town of Bedford
in less than five years. The mismanagement
which has characterized that establishment
for years would have ruined any other water
ing place than Bedford. The Andersons are a
greater affliction to Bedford than the Old Man
of the Sea was to Sinbad.
The Altoona Tribune insults us partially in
this wise "Even the old fogy town of Hun
tingdon, the town that resolved not to build a
new school house by a decided vote, * 4 z•
observed Decoration Day this year." Old fogy,
indeed! Haven't we always observed Desora-
I tien Day, eh? Suppose the town slid vote
against a decent school house for the children,
whose business is it ? If Huntingdon don't
care any thing about the education and com
fort of her children what is it to Altoona ?
S-a-y? If you Tribune fellers don't want to get
clubbed keep your "sass" to yourselves.
Maria is still here if her illustrious contempo
rary has obeyed the injunction, "Go West !"
On Friday morning last the Southern Ex
press struck several head of cattle in the
neighborhood of Tiptoe. The engineer believ
ed they had been thrown from the track and
thought no more about it. However, on his
arrival at this point he found a two year old
heifer safely lodged on the cow-catcher. It
was entirely dead and appeared to be very lit
tle injured. It was dragged off to the end of
the depot and some wag placed a tag upon it
addressed to "Robert Lot, Butcher." Robert
put in an appearance in a short time after
wards and concluded some cue had been
"plowing with his heifer," and though she had
not exactly shared the fate of "Let's wife,'.'
by becoming a pillar of salt, yet on the other
hand there was enough resemblence to the
"Golden Calf' for railroad men to fall down
and worship, and Robert wanted to set her up.
But the railroad men, if they didn't exactly
"smell a large mice" did a big calf, and soon
thereafter a truck came along and rolled it off
to its final resting place.
A WONDERFUL INVENTION—RAIL
ROAD TRAINS MOMENTARILY REPORTING THEIR OWN
PROGRESS BY ELECTRICITY.—A patent has been
seem , d by G. Natcher, Esq., at present of this
place, and which is now controlled, we learn,
for the purpose of introduction, by a compa
ny of enterprising gentlemen, under the firm
name of G. Natcher & Co., for an Electric Rail
way Reporter or Signal, which is operated on
ordinary telegraphic wires attached to tappets,
so placed as to receive the weight of the car
wheels, which thereby open aad close the cur
rent of Electricity, which current, striking upon
a bell or bells, causes an alarm to be give■ a
rod, a mile or miles, if advisable, in advance
or rear of a train. A Signal, stationed at a
Crossing, will be rung Instantaneously at any
fixed distance as the train approaches thus
giving fair notice to all persons to clear the
track. One of these alarms placed at a station
will report a train, tappet after tappet, until
it passes on to the tappets of the next signal
station, where a similar report is made and
so on to the end of the route. If a train is
delayed or wrecked it will be immediately re
ported at the station and other trains regulat
ed accordingly by which means hundreds of
lives and vast quantities of property may be
saved. The improvement that enables trains
to give notice of their approach to Crossings
and to Approaching Trains meets a want that
has long been one of the most serious embar
rassments to railroading. We doubt whether
this invention is second in importance to the
Westinghouse brake. The general speed at
which trains are now run, owing to the late in
ventions, makes it absolutely necessary to use
Electricity as an alarm or signal agent.
MEETING OF LANDLORDS.—A meeting
of landlords representing the counties of Blair,
Huntingdon,' liffin, Centre, Clearfield, and
possibly one or two others, was held in Ty
rone, at the Ward House, on Monday. Mr. W.
%V. Coleman, of Lewistown, was elected Pres
ident, and Mr. John S. Miller, of Huntingdon,
Vice President. The fact that no official re
port of the proceedings had at the meeting
was sent Its for publication is prima facie evi
dence that the bonifaces did their work with
out the assistance of a Secretary. We learn
from outside sources, however, that about a
dozen landlords were in attendance. The
counties named are all embraced within the
limits of the workings of the law commonly
known es "local option,' , or in other words,
the anti-license law, and the prime object of
the meeting was to devise ways and means by
which to make good the losses daily entailed
upon the landlords by the recent absolute
abatement of the whisky traffic. It was pro
posed that a uniform advance in the price of
boarding be made, with a corresponding in
crease for transit custom ; but, after eonsider
sties, the question was laid over for the pres
ent. Another object of this guild is under
stood to be undying hostility to any and all
candidates who may run for office on the local
option platform, or who is understood to be a
local option man. This is the third meet
ing which has been held by this association.
—Altoona Tribune.
FIRE !—At a little after 2 o'clock, on
Sunday morning last, our citizens were arous
ed from their slumbers by the startling cry of
"Fire." Upon repairing to the scene we found
the roof of the house owned and occupied by
Mr. Fred. Mobus, on Alleghenystreet, wrapped
in flames, and the adjacent buildings in immi
nent danger of destruction. The fire laddies
were promptly on the ground, and as soon as
they got their hose in position and began to
play all danger of a further spread of the
flames vanished, es it was soon apparent that
they were master of the situation and had the
fire under perfect control. The roof of Alcibus'
property is entirely burned off, and the sec
ond-story partially destroyed, but the back
building escaped without any damage from
fire. The residence of Mr. John Hildebrand,
attached to the one damaged, escaped without
other damage than the charring of the boxing
and the gable window. We have been unable
to learn the amount of loss sustained by Mr•
Mobas. The fire originated from a spark from
a passing locomotive. Inn ranee $3,000.
Fish and salt, and anything that people
want, at Henry & Co's. my2B3t.
MRS. MARY. FARRELL RUN OVER BY
CARS AND KILLED ON THE BROAD TOP RAIL
ROAD.—A shocking and heartrending accident
occurred on the Broad Top Railroad on last
Wednesday evening under the following cir
cumstances, viz: Mrs. Mary Farrell, wife of
James. Farrell, who resided in the wa
ter station, at Marklosburg, for several years,
got on the local freight while a car was being
hooked up about a mile above Marklesburg
station and rode on the freight to the switch
just above the water station. Here the train
was nut to enable the train men to swing in
in the car taken up on the switch. Mrs, Far
rell left the train to'walk down the main track
to her residence; the engine passed her and
she no doubt supposed that the whole train
was switched off, but instead of this only one
car was switched off and the remainder of the
train followed down the main track on which
Mrs. Farrell was walking. The wind was
high at the time and owing to the racket she
did not perceive the fatal cars approaching
until she was struck and almost instantly
crushed to death. Several cars passed over
her before the train could be stopped. She
leaves a family of several children who appear
to be very mach attached to her. She was,
no doubt, an excellent mother. The railroad
company provided a very neat casket, and on
Thursday last, her remains were deposited in
the Catholic Cemetery, in this place, in
presence of a large number of friends and ac
quaintances. ••

A GRAND Rasa.—The rush at Henry & Co.'s
Store on Saturday last, exceeded anything of
the kind that has taken place for years. Their
new and attractive goods—latest styles,
bought by their accomplished buyer, Capt. T.
A. Johnston—are all the rage. They have
everything that belongs to their branch of
business, and a thousand and one things
which do not belong to it to accommodate
customers, so that you cannot come amiss by
stepping into their extensive establishment.
Their prices are as reasonable as can be made,
and give universal satisfaction. If you want
anything whatever, call at Henry & Co's.
Havre-de-Grace and Roe Herring just re
ceived at Henry it Co's.
A SUDDEN DEATH.—OD last Monday
afternoon, while Mr. William Black was as
sisting in shingling a house on Lexington a,
elute, he slid off and fell some twenty-five feet
striking a picket fence, two of the pickets run
ning through his abdomen, producing death
within twenty minutes. Mr. Black was an
ex-Union soldier, a good citizen, and respected
by all who were acquainted with him. He
was formerly from Huntingdon Furnace, Hun
tingdon county, and we understand leaves a
wife and several small children to mourn his
untimely demise.—Altoona Sun, 6th test.
Mr. E. L. Russ, who was for a number of years
connected with the Harrisburg Telegraph Job
Office, and who is experienced and thoroughly
skilled in his profession, is now in charge of
the JdunNAL Job Office, and is prepared to do
all kinds of Job work in a manner that cannot
he 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 of a lifetime, exclusively de
voted to Job Printing, has been engaged here.
We hope this liberal enterprise will he duly
appreciated by our people, and that all those
who have Job work to do will gii,e us a
trial. tf.

.As Others See Us,
YORK, PA., May 28th, 1873
EDITOR JOURNAL : Dear : Stopping rs
short time in your pleasant town, I was pleased
to note the rapid growth of the place, and the
improvements everywhere in progress. In
1866 Muddy Run was the western boundary,
and all beyond was pasture fields and cultiva
ted grounds, now fine, broad, macadamised
streets extend for over a mile, with beautiful
shade trees planted, handsome brink and frame
residences and stores substantially built,
making, in some instances, almost solid
blocks of houses. lam informed that two
additions have been made : the first on the
lands of J. Edgar Thompson, extending from
about Bth to 14th streets, every lot of which
has been sold ; the second on lands of Messrs.
Miller and Wharton and Mrs. Anderson, ex
tending from 11th to 20th streets, and in
width from the Penna. Central R. R. eight
squares, nearlyall thelots of which have passed
from first hands, only about two hundred re
maining, which, however, embrace some of
the finest and most eligible locations for man
ufantories, that can be found anywhere, and
some of the most beautiful building sites.
Huntingdon is destined, with the presant
rate of improvement and enterprise, soon to
be elevated to the dignity of a city, and be
come an important manufacturing centre. In
addition to the hundreds of new houses lately
erected in the new part, you have, as a com
mencement, the large Planing Mill, the Key.
stone Boot and Shoe Manufactory and Tannery,
the extensive Car Works, just completed, and
the Juniata Broom Factory, and the large
Pilgrim Printing House, new in course tf
erection, all substantially built of brick ; theta
with all the other Factories in successful op,
ration, the Printing Establishment to be erec
ted for the JOURNAL, the Public Hall, now in
progress, speak well for the enterprise ofyour
citizens and commend your place to the totice
of capitalists abroad. With the inexhaustible
supply of iron ore, the abundance of lime
stone, fire clay, Ste., in the vicinity, cant o f
such easy access, and the fine locations, there
is no reason why there should not be a cozen
Furnaces within sight of the town; these
would create the necessity for Rolling Mills,
and other interests. Then you have the best
sand in the State for glass; excellent hickory
for wagons ; forests of the finest oak, ash, &c.,
for Agricultural Implements ; walnut, tine,.
poplar, chestnut, &c., Axe., for furniture. All
these industries could bo carried on nore
cheaply here than anywhere else in the Slate.
You have a few of the same class of selfish
individuals, specimens of which are to be
found in almost every town, who can see
nothing beyond the dollar that goes to increase
their already abundant store, for I notice
toward the upper end of the first adlitien,
between 10th and 14th streets, whole Stocks
and parts of blocks which seem to have been
purchased by some of the above eho's and
held for "higher prices." This is to te depre
cated ; but they must soon pass allay, their
places be filled by better men, and their wealth
appropriated to better purposes flan those to
which they usually appropriate it—heavily
shaving those whom they sheltie assist, and
retarding improvement.
Some of the streets between .he old and
new parts of the town need grading up, and
the continuation of Moore Streit, by a bridge
crossing Muddy Run, giving a direct passage
way into 10th street, is a greatly needed im
provement. A few old stables, and a barn or
two still stand prominently un soma of your
streets greatly detractin Porn the general
harmony. These ought to tio removed. Your
people are patient and abundant in "long
suffering forbearance," elm they would not
endure the condition of the "board walks" in
front of some of the aforemid lots. and your
Town Council is derelict in duty, else it would
compel those persons to make the repairs so
greatly needed. Hemlock planks aro never
suitable for walks and should not be allowed.
One thing more there are more old tin tans,
pans, paint buckets, Iroken:crockery, glass,
bottles, old boots, shots, !-e., on some of your
streets, than I have mar s_en 'n the streets Of
any town with such opportunities, and other
wise good taste. ThiE must be due to the
neglect of the proper authorities, where atten
tion should be promptly called to the matter.
The streets are not a suitable depository for
the rubbish that may accumulate about one's
premises. More anon.
From Three Springs.
Turin SPRINGS, June 7, 1873.
Mr. Editor :—Report says that there is as
much whiskey drank in the upper end of the
county, under the local option act, as there
was before, all the difference is that it is done I
now a little on the sly. We supposed this re- I
port false, and got up by the whiskey ring to
show us that we had gained nothing by this
great temperance reform. But I fear there is
too much truth in this report, from the fact
that a number of distinguished gentlemen vis
ited our town, lately,frem the upper end of the
county, in the employ, for the time being, of
the E. B.T. B. R. & C. C., among whom were
attorneys, ex-sheriffs, ex-legislators,engineers,
mechanics, farmers, !cc., &c. Now I am al
most ashamed to tell you, Mr. Editor, in this
age of temperance reform, that these distin
guished gentlemen bad their bottle with them
—a very large one, too—and report says that
with but one exception they all drank out of
it. The only thing peculiar about the bottle
was its extreme length ; this no doubt was
caused by such an amount of suction. This
bottle, notwithstanding its extreme length,
could not stand the pressure, as it was drain
ed, and report says that they felt no badly the
next morning that they called on a physician
for a prescription, and after an examination
he concluded to continue the treatment of the
previous day, and what seemed strange in
their case they all required the same treat
ment. Now, Mr. Editor, we, as all good citi
zens should do, have been laboring for years
in the good cause of temperance, and with
some three or four exceptions we are strictly
temperance men, and while we have beeu la
boring to reform those weak brethren we feel
grieved that these distinguished gentlemen
would come into our town and operate against
our great and good work by setting such an
example.
Now, in conclusion, we would just ray to
those gentlemen, visit our town again ; we will
be pleased to see you, at any time, or any of
your friends in the county, but we have one
request to make of you, and we believe you
will grant it, leave the big bottle at Broad
Top, and you can get it on your return.

One Nona of Local Option,
Dear Journal :—A late number of the Tem
perance Vindicator contained a request for in
formation as to the workings of Local Option
in the different counties where the vote was
against liquor, will you therefore grant a small
space in your columns for a few reflections
'titan its success in Huntingdon county?
The last liquor store in the county closed
on May Ist, and Local Option has had its first
month's trial. What has it accomplished?
and, Is it a success? are of course the main
questions. That it has accomplished much,
and is, to a great extent, a success, is the firm,
unwavering opinion of every good citizen who
has observed, with any degree of care, the
present aspect of things relating to drinking,
as compared with former times. Those who
arc determined to see ■o good tesults in the
movement, and pray that there may not be
any, no doubt suppose that they are sustained
in their assertions that it is a failure, from the
fact that an occasional drunkard reels through
the streets, or that a whiskey fight occasion
ally occurs to terrify quiet and peaceable peo
ple, forgetting that where now is seen one
drunken man. then was seen a dozen ; where
now occur; one street brawl, then occurred
manyinole. Then drunken tutu could swag
; ger forth spun the public streets filling the
air with horrid blasphemy, or roll in the gut
' ter with swinish indecency, and they were
passed by with scarcely a glance, such scenes
being considered as mere matters of course,
and not worthy of zoinment. Now, every
bleared eye is observed, and every unsteady
step is marked, and heralded as a heavy charge
against Local Optieu. During the month there
was considerable drinking and some drunken
nes, but not one-fourth that there was her re.
It was the rem arlc from day to clay, passing from
lip to lip, , well Local Option is doing this or
thatman good anyway.' He never drew a sober
breath or did a days work before, now he looks
I and acts like a new man. It was generally
observed that the "drunkards" were greatly
bentfitted. Becoming sober their first impute
waste obtain work, and the change for the
bett.tr in their appearance was marvelous.
Dressed in respectable clothing, and walking
fortl as free men, they looked and surely felt
as if they were freed from a thraldom more
galling and degrading than abject slavery.
Many striking illustrations might be mention
ed of the good effects of the change if space
would permit, but one or two must suffice
One man who seldom knew a sober moment,
of course worked but little, was observed to
work almost all through May, and cheerfully
too, for he was frequently heard to sing at his
work. Another was seen frequently during
the month walking forth with his children,
watching over them with tender ewe, and fil
ling the little aching hearts with the joy of a
father's love. A broken hearted wife was
heard to say, that now since Local Option had
come, her husband had gone to work again,
and her hopes were revived.
The success of Local Option is especially
marked in the removel of open temptation
from the young. No glittering and gaudy sa
loon now blazes with its dazzling glare, to
lure the unguarded ; their deceiving and se
ductive power is crushed, and there are few
young men who have any sell respect, and
whose habits of intemperance have never been
formed, who will go to the trouble of sneak
ing away to some dark alley or secluded hol
low to take their first lessons in drinking. A
final reason that stamps Local Option as a suc
cess, if there were no other, is that whatever
amount of liquor is sold or drank it is not
done by authority of law, and the stigma is
removed which formerly ever pointed its skel
eton hand at the lawmakers, (we the people)
with the disgraceful charge "you licensed the
drunkard making trade."
That this happy state of things may not
continne, if violators of the law are not
biotiglit to justice, is certain. The disgrace
ful scenes of Decoration Day, were brought
' about by a few men of such fiendish natures
that the community is in constant danger
while they are at large. These men had li
quor in secret places, and exhibited their se
tunic disposition by dealing it out to those
whom they could lure into their clutches.
The gentlemen, who with true patriotic spirit,
labored so earnestly to perfect the arrange
ments for strewing with evergreen wreaths,
the graves of their dear fallen comrades, the
nations martyrs, should bring to speedy pun
ishment the outlaws who would disgrace the
solemn ceremonies of Decoration Dayand des
ecrate the graves of fallen soldiers. And with_
out delay a County organization should be
formed, in which sould be united every good
patriotic man and woman, for the purpose of
prosecuting violators of the liquor law. A
simple organization could be formed, that
would cost very little time, money or labor
and yet do effective work. A membership fee
of a dollar a year would supply the finances,
and a prosecuting committee would do the
work. The reason liquor laws have never
been enforced, is not because the majority of
the people do not want them enforced, but be
cause the enforcement of them is of general
interest, and each good citizen wonders daily,
why his neighbor does not manifest more
patriotism, by prosecuting offenders against
his countrys laws. If one man's property is
stolen, or his life threatened, he becomes a
prosecutor of the criminal without hesitation
because he is specially interested, but the same
man would positively refuse to prosecute the
criminals who steal the bread from scores, and
endanger the life of a community ; and not
because he does not think it right, but simply
because he thinks some one else will do it, or
ought to do it. Therefore the necessity of a
Proseauting Committee, whose special duty
and interest it will be to bring offenders to the
Bnr of Justice. S.

Mr. Editor :—As this is my first attempt at
writing for a paper you must excuse the style.
I happened to be at the funeral of poor Lewis
Bumgartner, on the 3d or 4th of May, about
which so much has been written. The poor
man has made more excitement at his death
than during all his life. Well, I think I saw
and heard pretty much everything that was
said or done there, and have seen both letters
in the papers, and feel safe in saying 1 believe
every word in Judge Clarkson's statement to
be strictly true. In the other the spirit of the
author, the editor, shines forth in all its meek
ness and loveliness, and any one can see that
a good Christian minister wrote it. What a
pity he does not preach all the time, but per
haps the mode he has adopted may hurry on
the millennium faster. Oh, I do hope he will
not be translated yet for a long time; thereare
lots of sinners not half converted yet ; but I
am diverging. I was just going to say if Judge
Clarkson must be traduced through the Hun
tingdon smut machine for anything be did at
that funeral may the good Lord deliver me
from ever living, dying, or being buried in
Cassville. He has followed the undertaking
business there for more than thirty years, sent
out hundreds of coffins, and always gave sat.
isfactioe, never spares time or pains to ac
commodate those in affliction, be they rich or
poor, and it is well known that when money
was raised to build a church on that ground
one of the conditions to urge people of all de
nominations to pay was because privilege was
given all who bury there to preach funeral
sermons there, and we have never heard of
any of the old members going back on their
word. But a recent importation to Cassville
must make now rules, and I expect some of
us will be ordered to remove our dead, espe
cially if they happen to be poor. Poor Lewis
Bumgartner is a descendant of some of the
founders of the first church built there, and

his friends bad hoped lie could rest with his
fathers in peace. I saw nothing worthy of
note at that funeral except one good Christian
communicant, coming out after communion,
asking who owned that church, and talking of
knocking somebody down, kicking out, la.
It always has been the custom in this section
for other cherries to give way for funerals.
Shame where is thy blush !
If any apology is due any one it is from the
other side, for we never saw a bereaved fami
ly treatedlvith more contempt than were those
mourners on the part of some we might name.
The time was when they used to have politi
cal meetings in Cassville and no fuss, but it
seems they can not bury the dead without a
breeze now. Well that was a nice letter in
the Globe. Just good for the Judge, he would
not sign the writing, with a few others, that
was sent to Wickersham, stating those circu
lars of Wharton's were libelous, kc , and a
number of others would bare done the same
thing had they known what they learned soon
after. You furshtay ? That is what disturb
ed the meeting.
FRIEND OP JUSTICE.
From Orbisonia•
ORBISONIA, June 9, 1873.
Mr. Editor :—A continued press of business
has kept me from writing you sooner.
The population of our town is increasing
now daily. The contractors for the building
of the two furnaces at this place are hero.—
They brought some twelve or fourteen teams
with them, and purpose doing all their own
hauling. They bare a small steam stone and
sand crusher, attached to their works, with
which they prepare the foundation for that
portion of the foresee Galled the "lint blast."
This is done with crushed stone and cement
pounded down some eighteen inches deep, and
which makes a foundation as permanent as the
everlasting bills. It is going to take a great
many hands to carry on this work. Quite a
number are here now, and others are coming
every day. Everything you see here now, and
every man yen meet, lookslike business. Some
people think this place is going to make a
second Johnstown. Perhaps it may; I pur
pose staying here to see what it will make.
I have had some trouble with grandfather
since I wrote you last. He has had another
bad dream about the Professor, but he utterly
refuses to tell what it was. He has quit read
ing the Globe, and has got rather melancholy.
He seems to think that nearly all professing
Christians are hypocrites, and begins now to
fear that he will be lost too, but says that he
would just about as soon go along with the
Professor. So you see his mind is somewhat
effected. Poor grandfather, I pity him, he
seems in despair.
I see that "Americus," or some other cuss,
hailing from Hill Valley, in writing for the
Mt. Union Times, speaks rather disrespectfully
of the Cromwell family. If 1 remember cor
rectly he wished "that the Cromwell family
had been buried so deep that they never could
have been resurrected." Now, I would just
say to this cuss that he had better be careful
how he uses such language as this about our
family. Grandfather says that he might get
into the earth so deep himself, for using such
language, that he may not only never be res
urrected, but may wiint to send back for his
summer clothes.
As this later is rather longer new than I
bad intended it. I will close for the present.
PETER CROMWELL.
P. S.—Some of our townsmen think that
Peirce did get the tangle-foot here, but grand
father says it wasn't that that killed him.

CATTLE MARKET.
BALTIMORE, June 9, 1873.
Beef Cattle.—The market opened this m,ek with a fair
degree of activity, and continued so till a while before the
close, when it became more lively, as it was found then
that the arrivals were unequal to the wants of the buyers
from Phihulelphia, Washington, and the country, in ad
dition to the home demand. Prices were about 34 .. c higher
than last week, and the quality of the offerings generally
of a better grade.
_
Prices torditTior Beef Cattle ranged as follows: Best
beeves at 66,506 - C7,25 ; that generally rated first finality
$5,75E46,50; mouth= or good for fair quality $5,50(0,75.

STEWART.—In Waterstreet, Huntingdon coun
ty, on Saturday morning, May 21, 1873, Lieut.
Lewis Cl. Stewart, aged 35 years.
The subject of the above notice was well and
favorable known to many of the readers of the
Standard. When Camp Cresstuan was formed
near Huntingdon, at the breaking out of the war,
he was among the first to enlist and was mustered
into the service in the 110th at Camp Curtin, when
that regiment was organized. He participated in
all its trial. up until the time they lay in front of
Petersburg, when he was diecharged on account
of incipient pulmonary complaint, from which he
eventually died, although he had for several years
past apparently entirely recovered. During his
term of service he was made adjutant of the regi
ment, in which capacity he was serving when dis
charged. Among his comrades ho was held in
universal esteem on account of his soldierly cour
age and the kindliness of his disposition. Warm
mad true in his social intercourse, he never loet a
1 lend or made an enemy. During his illness no
word of complaint ever passed his lips, and not
until within three or four days of his death did he
even indicate by his countenance the terrible suf
fering be was enduring. Calmly and peacefully,
in the arms of a loving sister, he went down into
the valley of the shadow—let us believe to emerge
into the sunlight that brightens tho hills beyond.
