There is not a well of water in the town
but is a sewer into which a large amount of

The Water Question is the next matter to
be settled. Settle it favorably and Huntingdon
will not be the subject of the taunts and sneers
of such villages as Tyrone, Bellefonte, Bedford,
Altoona, Hollidaysburg, kc. If these small
places can afford Water Works why not Hun
tingdon? We have not heard of their depop
ulation on this account.
Dr. W. L. Spanogle, of Orbisonia, made a
narrow escape on Tuesday last. He had a set
of teeth under pressure in the vulcanizer at a
temperature of 320 degrees, and was sitting
calmly reading in the room, when the vuleau
tsar exploded with a loud report, filling the
room with steam. No especial injury done.

conplo of hands on a wood train, a few
days ago, prepared their dinner upon a chop
ping. Among other luxuries they made them
'selves a cup of coffee. however while drink
ing the coffee they thought it bad a queer
taste, and immediately after they were seized
with violent vomiting. They determined to
examine their tea-pot, and in the bottom of it
they found a copperhead snake. How the
sarpient got there bath not been told, but the
tale is an "over true" one.
The Mt. Union Times says : "The demand for
houses to live in, was never so great in Mt.
Union, as now. Not a week passes that we
do not have at least half a dozen applicants to
rent houses. At least fifty houses could be
rented between this and text spring if the
houses could be had. Some of our monied
men ought to build houses, and they would
realize a fair per sent for the investment. We
learn of some ten or fifteen houses that will be
erected next summer and some of them will
be brick."
Robert Rare Powell, of Philadelphia, after
three years of incessant labor, on the Bth inst.,
reached through a rock tunnel three hundred

The seam measures through a distance of 106
feet from the surface, two feet in thickness.

So when the Vigilant went to squirt we placed
ourself about twenty feet in advance of the
Huntingdon's stake and waited. The engineer,
"cuss him," "gin a toot! toot! toot!!" and
in a moment a small shower bath began to
descend upon our beaver and shoulders, and
we quit unceremoniously. We felt no further
interest in that contest! We went to look np
the next thing on the programme.
HOME INDUSTRY.—Any of our me
chanics who evince their enterprise by putting
up good work, and bringing it before the pub
lic, are sure tor be duly appreciated. No one
will feel more sure of this than Joseph Piper,
of Alexandria. We noticed, at the Fair, that
he was by far the largest exhibitor of light
wagons and buggies, and some of his speci
mens reflected great credit upon his skill as a
workman. The Plmton built for Dr. Houtz,
and the Pony Phseton for H. J. McAteer, at
tracted great attention by their neatness and
strength, while the two platform wagons, one
built for Col. Haslett, and the light trotting
buggy purchased by mine hest of the Morrison
House, Clover, were all admired, and deser
vedly received premiums. We do not want
to disparage anyliodyelse's work, but home
industry, producing such results, deserves en
couragement. No need to send your money
away when you can buy neat, well-finished
and durable work of your own mechanics at
home, as you can of Piper.

D. DANIEL HOUTZ.—In last week's
issue of the Reveille we made but brief men
tion of the demise of him whose name is at
the head of this article. It was so sudden
that at first it could hardly be realized. and
while we write it is sad to contemplate that
we are never again. in this life, to look upon
that kind and genial face, to hear again that
well known voice of welcome, or grasp that
band that was ever extended in aid of our
advaneement and welfare. Little by little it
is forced upon our minds that the silver cord
is loosed—the golden bowl is broken, the
pitcher broken at the fountain, the wheel
broken at the cistern. The dust has returned
to the earth as it was, and the Spirit unto
God who gave it. The great lino of demar
cation—eternity, is drawn between the living
and the dead, and many are the regrets, the
heart-aches, and the pangs occasioned. He
was our patron in our boyhood, our father in,
our manhood, and always our friend. Then,
after an acquaintanceship of thirty-four years,
and a close relationship of thirteen ; if we,
who knew him so long, so well and so inti
matcly, cannot do homage to his memory, who
can ?
He was borti in Lebanon, this State, in 1807,
came to Alexandria, Huntingdon county, in
1826, where he studied medicine with Dr.
Charlton. Here he married, and afterpractis
ing one year in Williamsburg (then Hunting
don, now Blair county) returned to Alexan
dria, and permanently located there in 1830.
By close application, and thorough knowledge
of his profession, lie built for himself a large
and lucrative practice. In 1850 he was
induced, through the persuasions of a sup
posed friend, to take an interest in a saw mill
on Clearfield Creek, known as the Belle Scene
Mills. Through the bad management of
those in charge, it soon became apparent that
the business would require his personal
attention, or losses mast be sustained. This
caused him to make f:equent trips to Clear
field, and partially abandoned his practice at
home, but he labored hard to attend to both,
which was almost beyond human power.
Through the knowledge he bad acquired in
his experience in extricating himself from the
imminent perils of this first lumber embarka
tion, during which time he made trips down
the river on his own rafts, he determined on
pursuing the business further. Disposing oel
his Belle Scene property, in 1851-2 he invested
what money he had in four tracts of land in
Woodward township, known as the " Philip
Least," "William Johnson," "Jacob R. How
ell," belonging to the Peter's estate, and the
George Beckham." to the bank of North
America. This purchase, at that day, Was
considered by many as a reckless investment.
It was far from the water, the only mode of
getting timber to market, and then the Tyrone
and Clearfield road was not even talked about;
and we have frequently heard him say, in re
ference to this• purchase, that his friends
thought "he might as well have put his
money in the stove as to buy wild lands on
the tip-top of the Allegheny mountains." But
with that persistency, close application of
time, and determination to accomplish all he
had undertaken, and which marked every step
of his business life, he loaned his assistance
to the above named railroad, after it had been
contemplated, and which was to approximate
within six miles of his lands. It is useless
to attempt to enumerate all the delays, vexa
tions and troubles attending the final com
pletion of that enterprise; suffice it to any it
lasted six years, that he was an every day
expectant, and never despaired. While this
work was in progress he, with others, con
ceived the idea of a plank road and pike
from Osceola to Madera, diverging from the
railroad at Osceola, and running west ten
miles. With him to conceive was to do. The
charter was procured and the company oag,an
ized, by making him President; but for the
lack of proper assistance, this undertaking
was permitted to drag along, and nothing was
accomplished, until he abandoned the plank
road for the railroad on the same location,
and by stages assisted in getting it into his
own lands. While ho was making these exer
tions, and his lands were rapidly enhancing in
value, under their influence, of a sudden a
writ of ejectment was served upon him, and
six hundred acres of Isis lands were seized as
vacsnt, although he had been in peaceable
possession of them and paid taxes on them
for six years. This was a new cause for vexa
tion, but with his wanted calmness he bowed
with resignation to the decrees of the court,
gave the required security that be would
cease all operations on the portions seized,
but never doubting that he would be fully
able to make his title clear when the oppor
tunity offered, yet convinced that great delay
and expense would attend it. For four years
the case was continued from court to court,
finally reaching trial in 1863; when, through
the ignorance of the jury to distinguish the
plaintiff from the defendant, he was cast, as
it was afterwards apparent, from this cause.
Judge Lynn, who was on the bench at the time,
and who was conversant with the whole
matter, granted a new trial, and in the follow,
lag Juno (1864) it was again tried, when.
while-the jury was yet in their room, and had,
as it was afterwards understood, determined
on a verdict for the defendant, the plaintiffs
asked for a non-suit, which request bad to be ,
complied with and the case was left in chan
cery. Here it again hung from year to year,
until the plaintiffs, fearing to risk their claims
farther before the State courts, or appeal to
the Supreme Court of the State, preferred
carrying them to a United States court ; to do
which they had to resort to the fallacy of
selling their claims to a citizen of another
State, and through this supposed individual,
it again reached trial, before Judge McCand
less, of the United States Circuit Court, at
Pittsburgh, in the fall of 1867, where the jury,
after four weeks listening to the testimony,
rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant
in twenty minutes; thus settling all dispute.
This left the defendant in possession of his
lands, and he again went to work where he
had been stopped, and the consequence of that
resumption to-day is the railroad from Mesh
annon to Hontzdale, the town of Hontzdale,
the Franklin, Eureka, and Penn Collieries,
and the gang mill at that point. During the
long years his lands were in difficulty, he
never despaired, and always treated those
who were opposed to him with courtesy. He
encountered and surmounted difficulties that
ninety-nine men out of a hundred would
have sunk under, and lived to see his most
sanguine expectations realized. We, who
were witlihim throngb all his troubles, have
learned a lesson that will remain with us so
long as we have thought and feeling.—Osceola

A CHILD KILLED.-011 Thursday, as
Mr. Raft Smith, of Shaver's Creek, a son of
S. P. Smith, Esq., of Union township, was
driving along the turnpike, near Mill Creek,
his horse was frightened at the ears and shied
off, throwing Mr. Smith's quite small .child
out of the carriage, causing its death immedi
ately. We deeply sympathize with the be
reaved parents in their severe affliction.
THE HUNTINGDON FAIR.-FIREMEN'S
Contest—The Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Com
pany of Altoona Triumphantly Carry off the
Prize of One Hundred .Dollars.—The Altoona
Daily Tribune, of Saturday, the 11th instant,
contained the following excellent report of
the Fremen's Parade on Friday:
Yesterday was abig day fur Iltltingdon
was the last day of the annual exhibition of the
Huntingdon County Agricultural Society, in at
tendance at which there was an immense crowd.
Compared with previous exhibitions the Fair
which closed last evening was a success financially
and socially, hut a complete failurfi in every other
respect. The dieplay of farm products, agricul
tural implements, stock kinds and useful and
fancy articles was positively insignificant when
compared with previous displays, or else persons
who are supposed to know have no regard what
ever for the truth. The number of persons in at
tendance at the Fair yesterday is said to have been
larger than on any other day during the present
week, nearly all of whom were attracted to the
grounds of the Society for the purposes of witnes
sing the Firemen's contest which was advertised to
be held in the afternoon. Prior to the contest
a grand firemen's parado was to come off which
was to be participated in by companies front this

heaters, and by all means get a tombstone for your,
mother-in-law—if you hare ene—while you are in
town. In feet get one for each of the family, as
they are nice to have on hand.
Upon arrival at the Fair Grounds the procession
made a circuit of the Have Course, and was then
dismissed by the Chief Marshal. The members of
the Huntingdon Steam Firo Engine Company did
everything in their power for the pleasure and
comfort of their visiting brethren. giving one and
ell an excellent dinner on the Fair Grounds, and
making arrangements with the Agricultural So
eiety to admit them to the grounds free. The lady
friends of the Huntingdon company were also un
remitting in their efforts to make the strangers
feel at home, and we can assure them that their
many kindnesses will never be forgotten. Along
the route of the procession the visitors were con
tinually "welcomed" upon being made the recip
ients of admirably arranged briquets and wreaths
of fairest flowers.
The contest for a purse of ono hundred dollars.
offered to the steam engine throwing a. stream 'of
water the greatest distance through one hundred
feet of hose with one hundred pounds steam pres
sore, came off in the afternoon and attracted uni
versal attention. Howard Porter, of Hollidays
burg. W. H. Adams, of Altoona, and AI. Tyhnrst,
of Huntingdon, were appointed a committee to
conduct the contest. The 'lmmix Engine, of
Hollidaysburg, threw water a distance of 219 feet
4 inches; the Huntingdon Engine 231 feet, and
the Vigilant engine. of Altoona, 257 feet, the latter
engine beating the Huntingdon by 26 feet and the
Phoenix by 37 feet 71 inches and triumphantly
carrying off the prize amid unbounded applause
on the part of the assembled spectators.
We regret exceedingly that oar limited spade
will not permit. us to speak of the many amusing
incidents which secured at the Huntingdon Pair
yesterday: to tell who the Altoona boys are that
made money by investing in the "wheel of for

CARELESS USE OF A PISTOL.—A few
days ago a rough by the name of Grissinger
was passing the residence of Dr. W. 11. Flen
ner in Jackson township, when a little dog
barked at him from the inside of the yard.
Grissiager walked up to the gate, drew a pis
tol and fired. Fortunately the ball struck the
dog, bad it not, it would have passed through
the door of the dwelling which was open and
struck a little child that sat in range. Such
a man has no business with fire arms and the
law should he enforced.

TYPHOID-INFECTED MlLK.—There has
recently broken out in the west end of London
quite an alarming epidemic of typhoid fever,
which some of the physicians ascribe to the
milk supply. An English scientific paper en
deavors to connect the outbreak of the disease
in London with its appearance in some of the
rural environs which =apply the metropolis
with milk and butter; and its reasoning is
very conclusive.
The source of most of our epidemics lies in
the unwholesome food or polluted water con•
lamed in towns and villages; and especially
can many of the most fatal diseases be traced
directly to the sparkling, but sewags-poisoned
water of shallow wells.
Typhoid feveris well known to have its hab
itat in the fecal matters which frequently
leak from the best sewers and percolate the
soil, defiling the subterranean waters. Scien
tific investigation has not yet been able to de
termine how small and minute a quantity of
this infection will suffice to poisen a whole
neighborhood, whether liberated in the most
sumptuous and elegant quarters of London
(where the interior of the houses is connected
with the sewer pipes) or in the vicinity of the
undrained and unscavengered villages.
The present epidemic typhoid fever in Lon
don commenced in July, in houses where every
precaution of cleanliness had been taken. It
was noticed by a physician that most of the
persons attacked obtained their milk from a
particular dairy; and upon further examina
tion he became convinced that the milk was
somehow or other contaminated with typhoid
poison, and was spreading the disease. In
quiry proved that in June the owner of the
dairy form had died of typhoid fever ; that this
enteric malady had prevailed in his family
with other fatal effects, and had also been rife
in the villages near his farm and in daily com
rouniclition with it. The fact was also dis
closed, that the well, from which water was
drawn to wash the dairy utensils, was itself
the real drain of the dwelling and farm yard
premises, which fully accounts fo; the infec
tion disseminated in the milk.
The Herald has before suggested the sani
tary (Lingers of using the subterranean springs
end wells in every locality near human habi
tations.? We have no doubt that the polluted
undergliound water of the small tosvns and
rural settlements iu all parts of the country,
and especially in the limestone regions of the
West, is chargeable with the rapid and fearful
ravages of such epidemics as cholera, typhoid
and other diseases. Many suggestions have
been made to put these natural watersupplies
cad all wells under legal sanitary provisions;
but, while this may be done in cities and
towns, in suburban districts the only reliance
is in the sound sense and public spirit of the
residents.—.Y. Y. Herald.
