The generality of people think that all min

Easly, of the Johustown Tribune, thinks that
no person but the proof reader reads the Al
toona, Tribune's "flat story." We think some
times that even the proof reader does not read

is "flat?" Enlighton us, Easly, please.
Rev. G. W. Zahnizer, of lluntingdon,
preached in the Presbyterian church in this
place on Sunday last, and we learn will also

On Wednesday evening John Bottomfield,
who has been employed as a carpenter at Mt.
Dallas station, while getting off the Cumber
land freight, at his residence, in Broad Top
township, Bedford county, permitted his right
leg to be caught by the cars and crushed at
the ankle. The limb was amputated the fol
lowing night.
Here is a lie-bel we take fiom the Times:
"A dance was engaged in a few days ago, be
tween this and Mapleton. Some of the "Gals"
became bel-le-ge-rent, and "fit." The hair
I came out, the faces were scratched, chignons,
bustles, plumpers, false teeth, back hair, saw
dust calves, kc., Ar.c., were found lying around
loose, a short time afterwards."
A Huntingdon lady is so unfortunate as to
have a pane of glass broken out of one of her
windows in the western side of her residence.
Whenever it rains she thrusts her head out of
that paueless hole in the sash, and with heroic
resignation, permits great floods of tears to
course down her blanched cheeks, but then she
saves her carpets.
The Lewistown Gazette says "On Tuesday
last as John D. Byler and S. S. King were
going to Huntingdon, some part of the harness
gave way, causing the buggy to run too close
upon the horse's heels, when he began kicking
and running. John D. Byler, in jumping out,
was kicked upon the leg and somewhat injured
by the fall, and S. S. King also received some
injuries from the kicks of the horse ; the buggy
was considerably damaged."
There was excitement at the depot on last
Friday morning. A rat was driven beneath
some heavy oak planks lying at the east end.
Two sturdy fellows commenced handling the
planks. There were not above 5000 feet of
them. It was a slow process. Several dogs,
a half-dozen of men, and two dozen of boys
gathered up. At last the last plank was
reached. Out popped the rat, dodged the dogs,
and found safety beneath the planks just re
moved. Again the planks were handled, one
at a time, with great caution, until the last one
was reached. Whew I what excitement I Away
scampered the rat, with dogs, men and boys
after it. It was, however, an unequal contest.
A terrier dashed away with the animal, and
a prolonged shout rent the air. Everybody
was happy I
MOUNT UNION ITE . MS.—Somebody says
the dogstar is in the ascendant now; and this
appears to be the season when thieves and
robbers prevail in Mount Union. We have
yet to bear of a house in this place that has
not been entered at night within the.last two
or three weeks.
One day last week a policeman came from
Huntingdon to look for a watch belonging to
Mr. J. Wilson Greenland. Not longafter his de
parture a customer was seen walking along the
tow-path who answered to the description the
policeman had given of the thief. Pursuit u - as
made by some of our swift young men. Thief
ran across the bottom to the bend in the river,
and, having the start, reached it just before
the boat started, and was soon out of the
reach of his pursuers. Walter Speer having
a horse, caught up in time to see him off, and
generously offered to shoot him if he didn't
surrender ; an offer which he magnanimously
declined. Walter, havingno "dissolver" along
with him, didn't press the matter of shooting.
Later in the evening an equestrian party start
ed in the direction of Newton Hamilton to
look for the culprit. One of them espied a
calf in a field, and, supposing it to be thief,
gave pursuit. Calf ran. Pursuer ordered
calf to stop or he would shoot ; but calf paid
no more attention to such a threat than did the
thief proper. The calf wasn't caught. It is
likely running yet.
Then it was found that burglars had been
active in this vicinity. A man traveled
through Mr. Ed. M'Kittrick's house with a
lighted lamp, and only desisted when discov
ered by the waking of one of the inmates. A
person entered ex-sheriff Bathurst's kitchen,
but left without telling his errand, when he
heard Mrs. B. coming. A presumable thief en
tered Mr. Heiney's house, and took, from a
cupboard, a pie and two razors. That was a
practical thief. He will doubtless engage in
the barbering business. Gen. McComb lost
three watches, worth $250.00 in all—abstract
ed from his house while the family were sleep
ing. The pirate who cabbaged these was tak
ing time by the forelock. Nobody has been
carried off as yet.
There was a picnic at Jack's Spring on the
26th ultimo, or rather there were three picnics
at one time and place. Jack's Spring is on the
top of Jack's Mountain about four miles from
Mount Union by the road ; and the road is very
rough and very steep. It is a large spring end
the water is very good. Near this spring was
located the cabin of the celebrated Captain
Jack of Indian fighting fame; and near here
his wife and children were murdered by the
noble red men. Vide Jeffries heavy story in
the Altoona Tribune. About seventy-five per
sons were at the picnic, including a party from
McVeytown, one from Beaver Dams and one
from Newton Hamilton. They had a pleasant
time until it began to rain. Anybody who
would ride in a wagon up that road ought to
have a good time. It rains often now.
On Wednesday last the route agent going
east failed to throw off any of the county pa
pers due at Mt. Union. All were carried on to
some point eastward and brought back in the
evening. As a consequence some people in
the lower end of the county did not receive
their county papers until two or three days
later than the time when they should have
been due. Some of these route agents must
be wholesome customers. One day only three
letters were given off at this station ; and the
mail for all the southern part of the county is
put off at Mount Union. Comment is unneces
sary. Where is the civil service bureau?
There is enough complaint about the manage
ment of some of the post offices in the county,
but to have mails carried in that style is ex
asperating.
The track on the E. B. T. R. R. has been
laid to within a couple of miles of Orbisonia ;
and a few days will see the road completed to
that "promising" village. The gravel train
runs over the road now at more than twenty
miles an hour. After the road has been bal
lasted and levelled up, it can make thirty-five
or forty miles an hour as easily and safely.
Mount Union is to have some more sidewalks.
The ordinance said they must be completed in
thirty days from date. The thirty days have
nearly elapsed, and still but little new side
walk is visible. It will be made though. The
roads through the town or streets have been
repaired too—and now we have discovered
who the Street Commissioner is. He is all or
any of the members of the Town Council.
Last spring the mnd was less than seventeen
feet deep in some places in our streets. It is
confidently expected that it will be deeper

NEWS FIFTY-FOUR YEARS OLD.—We
have come into possession of three old-timo
newspapers which are not only curiosities in
a typographical point of view, but also con
tain matter which even at this day must pos
sess a certain amount of interest for local rea
ders. We herewith present an abstract of
some of their contents :
The oldest of the three is styled the Bun
tingdon Gazette. It bears date Huntingdon,
Pa., Thursday evening, December 23, 1819.
The Gazette was "printed and published by
John McCaban, every Thursday evening, at
$2 per annum, payable half-yearly in advance."
The number of this paper is given as No. 35 of
Vol. 19, showing that the Gazette must have
been established in 1800. The sheet is a four
column one, and not much larger than one page
of the JOURNAL. The first page is exclusively
occupied by advertisements. The principal
part of the space is filled with thirteen Sheriff
sales, advertised by John Patton, Sheriff.
The stockholders of the Huntingdon, Cambria,
and Indiana Turnpike Company are notified
to pay all arrears of installments called for
and due, 'justice to the creditors making this
measure indispensible." The farm of Jacob
Turby, deceased, contiguous to Pennsylvania
Furnace, is offered for rent by John Anderson.
James McKinney, dating his advertisement
from Huntingdon jail, gives notice to his cred
itors that be has applied to the Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas of Huntingdon coun
ty for the benefit of the insolvent laws, and
fixes the second Monday of January, coming,
for a hearing. Garber & Dorris, Huntingdon,
have just received a "general supply of new
goods suitable to the season." Six cents re
ward is offered by Martin Orlady for the ap
prehension of George Hou holder, an ap
prentice to the shoemaking trade.
The second page and nearly all of the third
is taken up by President James Monroe's mes
sage to the Sixteenth Congress of the United
States, delivered at Washington, December 7,
1819. On third page is the only original mat
ter the paper contains. It is a thirteen line
item, to the effect that Mr. John Robinson, of
the Loop, had recently killed a calf, twenty
one months old, that weighed when dressed,
600 pounds. A reprint of the doings of the
Pennsylvania Legislature for December 10,
1819, follows. Among the advertisements is
one in which Dr. James Coffey furnishes the
information that ho has taken up permanent
residence in Huntingdon, and solicits custom.
"Advice to the poor given gratis," he adds,
"from 8 until 9 o'clock in the morning." Mr.
Fritsgerald's second practicing ball will bo
held in Huntingdon on the 30th instant, and
ladies and gentlemen are invited to be present.
Charles B. Seely, from the Ebensburg jail,
makes application for the benefit of the insol
vent act. C. Garber, Frankstown, offers some
houses, lots, and tracts of land for sale, and
William Dean, wants to rent a tract of land in
Hopewell township. C. Raymond and David
Newingham both have salt for sale.
The fourth page is filled as to three columns
with reading matter clipped from exchanges.
Among the advertisements is one calling an
election for officers of the Huntingdon, Cam
bria, and Indiana Turnpike Company; one no
tifying the public that Thomas M'Millan has
opened a cabinetmaking shop in Huntingdon . ;
one offering shearing machines for sale, and
an executor's notice.
The second paper is also a copy of the Hun
tingdon Gazette, dated Dec., 30, 1819. Its ad
vertisements are nearly a transcript of the
ones noticed, and its reading matter is com
posed exclusively of extracts from other pa
pers.
The third paper is the Village Monitor, print
ed in Huntingdon, January 6, 1820, and edited
and published by J. M. Barbour and Heap
Ramsey. Terms, $2 per annum, payable in
advance ; or $2.50 at the expiration of the
year. The only item of interest it contains is
this : "There being no paper finished at the
mill, we aro obliged to issue but half sheet
this week." It is about the same size as the
Gazette.
These papers, compared with those printed
at the present day, present a ludicrous con
trast as to the contents and general workman
ship. But it must be taken into consideration
in this connection that they were the offspring
of an art which was then comparatively in its
infancy. Fifty-four years ago—a quarter of a
century before the erection of Blair into a
county—long before the idea of the construc
tion of the Portage or Pennsylvania railroad
was dreamed of—long before the incoming
of the first white settler to the tract of ground
upon which the city of Altoona now stands I
—Altoona Tribune.
THE SEQUEL TO THE Witt. H. PATTER
sov men, who are suspected
with having killed or.e Mr. Patterson, whose
body was found below Petersburg, Hunting
don county, last week, with his skull fractur
ed, were arrested near Penfield, this county,
on Monday, and taken over on the train in
irons. Mr. Patterson, who had been farming
in the neighborhood of Yellow Springs, went
to Huntingdon with these two men, who had
been harvesting for him, to draw money from
the bank to pay them ; and the last that was
seen of him living, was in their company, af
ter he had drawn a large amount of money.—
It is said that four hundred dollars was upon
these men when arrested.—Osceola Reveille.
Thus it seems the further the report of this
matter got from home, the more exaggerated
it become. It is true that McComly and Weak
ly, who had harvested for Patterson, and who
had accompanied him to this place, were ar
rested, in Clearfield county, and brought to
this place, on mere suspicion that they had
dealt foully with Patterson, but here the mat
ter ended, so far as they were concerned.—
There was not a partiele of truth in the report
credited, by the Reveille, that a body was
found below Petersburg, this county, or the
still more improbable story that was circula
ted at Altoona that the body of Patterson was
found on the Siunamaboning.
The uncle of Wm. H. Patterson had person
ally gone to Clearfield to hunt up Messrs.
McComly and Weakly, and he arrived here
with them on Tuesday. On his arrival bore
he was informed that Wm. R. Patterson had
been seen at work on the Sunbury and Lewis
town railroad, about twelve miles from Free
dom Forge. Mr. Patterson sent a messenger
at once to ascertain the truth of the statement,
with directions, if the person turned out to be
Wm. H. Patterson, to telegraph immediately,
and bring him- up in the next train. A
telegram was received, confirming the re.
port, and the Clearfield men liberated at once.
The unfortunate man was brought up in the
mail train, and it was apparent to all that his
mind was very much affected. Re was taken
to his home the same evening. The Messrs.
McComly and Weakly no doubt feel, and
justly too, that they were greatly wronged,
but we assure them that the matter is just as
painful to the friends or Mr. Patterson as it
can be to them. They are the unfortunate
victims of the freaks of an unsound mind.
READ THIS AND REFLECT.-It seems like a
waste of space and money to advertise our
goods, when it is a fact, that our store is
crowded by customers from morning till night.
And the reason of this crowd is, that our store
is always filled, from top to bottom, with the
freshest goods the eastern markets can afford,
which we sell at prices as low, if not lower
than the lowest. And the reason of this is
we buy our immense stock of goods for cash
and sell to no one but who will pay, therefore
we don't have to make good customers, pay
the debts of bad ones. Ho have now on hand
a beautiful assortment of Lawns, Percales,
Cretonnes, Poplirs, and white goods which
we will sell at prices lower than was ever be
fore offered in this market. All that any one
has to do to be convinced of this fact is to
call and examine the goods. To farmers we
say bring on your produce, for which we will
give you the highest prices.

THE LOCAL PAPER.—Bow it Adver
tises a Town and How it is Paid for it.—That
localities may be advertised as profitable as
business houses, is shown by the fact that a
mining and smelting company has leased 10,-
000 acres of lead lands in Missouri, to which
attention was directed by a local paper.—
Rouell's Reporter.
What we would like to know is, who paid
that "local paper' for advertising those 10,000
acres of lead land? For every $2 on subscrip
tion, the publishers gave value received ; for
all the money taken in for job work, an equiv
alent in labor and stock is given, and for every
advertisement paid for, the advertiser gets
some return, or else they would not have ad
vertised. Yet who paid for "advertising the
locality ?" Suppose the "local press" failed,
or utterly refused to advertise their localities,
where would some of the "rich men" therea
bouts be—the land owners and speculators, for
instance? Yet, if a publisher or editor get a
pass over a railroad, he is a "dead head." No
gentleman ; very few editors or publishers
ever get "perquisites" that they don't fully
and completely earn. "Dead heading" is
practiced to a greater extent on the press than
it is on our railroads. Everybody "dead heads"
on the press. Some borrow their neighbor's
paper, and read it regularly every week, with
as much importance as though they had a re
ceipt for a year's subscription in their pocket;
others take and read the paper six months or
a year and then cheat the publisher out of his
pay, which is the meanest kind of dead head
ing. If a man gets married, he is so happy
that lie hands the minister ten or twenty dol
lars and requests him to have Isis marriage
announced in the papers. The minister car
ries the notice to the editor and says, "I mar
ried an interesting young couple at Grind
Stone, last Sunday, and the bridegroom re
quested one to have it announced in your pa
per." The editor mutters to himself, "another
dead head," tells the minister he will publish
it, and the man of God departs. The lawyer
who pleads a case in court—the politician who
talks from the rostrum—and the capitalist
who invests his means to aid the prosperity
and progress of the community, are all "dead
heading" on the press. The press feels too
sensibly the injustice of this burdensome and
outrageous system of "dead-heading."—Er.
THE CIIA3IPION .KOWER COMING.—
Joe Cloud, the champion rower, is coming up
the 'raging canawl." On Monday of last week
he arrived at Reading, with his boat, by way
of East Pennsylvania railroad from Allentown,
water facilities net having been afforded him
between those cities. A few minutes after
arriving lie had his boat conveyed to the
Schuylkill river, and thence he started up the
Union oaral, expecting to reach Lebanonlin
the evening. He ought to reach this place by
Thursday or Friday next. He left Harrisburg
on last Monday afternoon. Frost thence he
intends taking the Susquehanna until the con
fluence of the Juniata is reached, when he
will row up the Juniata to Hollidaysburg.—
From that place he will have his boat convey.
ed across the Allegheny mountains to Portage,
Cambria county, where lie will take to the
water again for Pittsburg. The smoky city
reached he will be able to make good time
down the Ohio to Cairo and down the Missis
sippi to New Orleans, his destination.
To win the wager of $5,000, which has been
made on the rowing feat of 3,600 miles, Cloud
must average twenty-five miles per day and
must eat and sleep in his boat. The oarsman,
although allowed 145 days to make the trip ,
is confident of accomplishing it in 125 days.
His daily average since he left Philadelphia
has been about 28 miles.
Cloud is a native of this State and resided
in Harrisburg for a number of years. He has
been in the United States marine service and
possesses considerable nautical experience.—
He is six feet tall, weighs 216 pounds, meas
ures forty-five incises around the chest, six
teen around the arm muscle, and seventeen
and a half inches around the calf. His mus
cular development is extraordinary, and his
powers of endurance very great. He wears
the customary sailor's uniform and is protect
ed from the rays of the sun by a large straw
hat. The boat which Cloud is rowing weighs
sixty pounds and is fifteen feet and a half
long.
A NEW PLAGUE TO THE FARMERS.—
A new, and we fear a very formidable plague,
is about to visit the wheat crop of the farmer,
which should be looked to as soon as possible.
Last summer, for the first time, wewere visited
by the cabbage worm, and its early appearance
this summer shows that it is likely to becomo
a fixed and destructive annoyance. On the
10th inst., Mr. D. K. Noell, whilst visiting and
inspecting the crops of some of the farmers of
Manchester township, in this county, was
shown by Mr. George Litchenberger, on his
farm, near New Holland, a peculiar worm that
preys upon and eats out the farinaceous sub
stance of the wheat after it has ripened.
The worm has never been known to the
farmers in this section before. It is about an
inch long, and half an inch in circumference,
of a white color, with a light green tint. The
head has a free articulation, and looks like a
cuueated horn-clad punch, well calculated to
aid a formidable looking pair of semi-Innar
horizontal jaws, that work laterally, like sharp
sickles toward each other, in breaking down
and hollowing out a grain of wheat, which it
does by commencing at the top of the grain
and working in a transverse direction to the
base, leaving but the shell. On further inquiry
among the farmers, they expressed ignorance
of the worm, until requested to examine, when
it was found. From this we infer that it must
have commenced its ravages only a day or two
before the ripening of the wheat.
This worm is, no doubt, the larva of an in
sect that deposits its eggs on the wheat ears
as soon as they shoot, and are matured and
ready for work as soon, as the wheat ripens.
If such wheat, with the worms in it, is housed
in the barn and suffered to remain long, it may
prove more disastrous to the farmer than the
fly, midge or weevil—Volk Dent. Press.
NOTlCE.—Having other business requir
ing all our attention, we offer our Mercantile
business for sale.
Our store has long been known as doing a
good trade in the better class of goods, and as
always having a good cash custom, for a line
of goods affording the merchant a margin.
Our sales in Carpets, Oil Cloths and Mat
tings from our Carpet Room have never been
more satisfactory than during the present
season.
The rooms are the most comfortable and
best finished in this part of the State, and will
be leased favorably to the party purchasing
the stock.
Our terms will be found very easy, and our
books showing our sales are open to the in
spection of any one desiring to purchase.
This is a rare opportunity of engaging in a
well established business, in which success is
already assured.
Possession given the coming Fall.

a catalogue of the Pittsburgh Female College.
The college outranks any ladies' school in the
State and is among the best in the country.—
The buildings have just been refitted in ex
cellent style, and twenty-five teachers employ
ed for the coming year. The management
earnestly request all who have daughters to
educate to call and examine the buildings, and
make themselves acquainted with the methods
of teaching and the superior advantages af
forded. Not the least important ite .4 is the
fact that the College was not established for
private gain, but to meet a public want, and
hence the charges are less than any school afford
ing equal advantages and accommodations. The
fall term commences September 10.
SENATOILIAL.—The friends of Capt. B.
X. Blair (and they are many) will present his
name to the Republican County Convention
next week, for State Senator. We must have a
strong man if we wish to carry this district. *

FRITZ HIINSPARGRE.
From Saxton. "
SAXTON, August 2nd, 1873.
EDITOR HUNTINGDON JOURNAL : An entertain
ment came off in Saxton, on July 24th, which
was gotten up for the benefit of the Presbyte
rian Sunday School, in this place, and as
notices have appeared in the Bedford and
Everett papers, I thought you might feel
slighted did you not receive a notice of it.
The idea was originated by Miss L. M. Stewart,
and was ably seconded by Capt. E. H. Turner.
The entertainment was a success. Part Ist
was a Cantata, entitled, "Esther the Beautiful
Queen." The piece was taken from the Scrip
tural account of Haman, Mordecai and Queen
Esther.
887,96
Solos were sung by Miss L. M. Stewart, Miss
Lou Steele, Miss Lillie Angle and Miss Lillie
Mitchell. These ladies sang very well, and
were highly applauded, but Miss Lon Steele
fairly brought down the house. Capt. Rhodes
asKingAhasuerus, was magnificent, especially
when condemning Haman to death. I would
do a great injustice if I passed over David
White, who took the part of Mordecai. His
solo with Miss Lillie B. Angle, who acted the
part of Queen Esther, was one of the triumphs
of the evening. Capt. Turner acted the part
of Haman with his usual vigor and grace. It
was amusing to see with what complacency
he received the praises of the Jews. The
whole of part first was a success.
Part second consisted of Tableaux. Tab
leau Ist, Evening Devotions, was very pretty ;
Tableau 2d, Flower Girls, Nos. 1 and 2, Miss
Laura Faulkner as No. 1, looked like an im
personation of Spring, while Miss Julia Tur
ner looked as if some dire calamity had over
taken her, for she as No. 2, was full of flour.
The next was Night and Morning, by Miss Lou
Steele and Alleman, this was the best one of
the evening, Bridal Scenes, No. 1 and 2, No.
1 represented a wedding, and No. 2, a large
bridle. The next scene was calculated to
arouse the patrotism of every American pres
ent. It was entitled "Goddess of Liberty"
supported by Army and Navy. Miss Lou
Steele, as Goddess, did great credit to herself,
and was well supported by Capt. Rhodes as
Army and Wilson Turner as Navy. The next
was the "Gambler's Vision," representing a
party of Gamblers surprised at their revels by
a spirit. Miss Jessie Alleman enacted the part
of the spirit well, while Weisel Turner looked
as if she were going to take the top of his head
off.
Next came "Taking the Veil" and the "For
tune Teller," two very pretty scenes. Owing
to the lateness of the hoar some scenes were
omitted. A great deal of credit is due to
Capt. Turner and Miss Stewart. bus.
