to ascertain the name of the young scamp,
and make him suffer for his deviltry. There
is too much outlawry practiced by these
"street arabs," and an example should be
made of some of them. They will destroy
your property, and when you remonstrate
they will insult you with language that would
put to shame the veriest bruiser in the slums

SAD AFFAIR IN HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP.
—An old Gentleman Shoots at a Chicken and
Instantly Kills his Grand child.—A very sad
affair occured in Hopewell twp., on Thursday
evening of last week, the particulars of which
as far as we have been able to gather, are as
follows: Mr. Harry Gates, a gentleman about
seventy years of age, was stopping with his
son. Martin Gates, who resides along the old
plank road. During the course of the day,
the little children came to the conclusion that
it would be right and proper to have chicken
for sapper for Grandpa, and after consulting
mamma on the question, who acquiesced, they
apprised him of the arrangements made, and
having been told that he was a good shot,
with a rifle, requested him to shoot the chick
en. The old gentleman had no desire to dis
play his skill, and was ou the point of refusing
when the mother interceded in behalf of the
children. The rifle was brought out and
loaded, and grandpa started to the barn, which
is bat a short distance from the house, to kill
the chicken. The mother and a little boy
about four years of age stood in the door to
watch the proceedings. The old gentleman
wandered around to the far side of the barn,
when he espied a plump, fat pullet perched
on a stick on the barn floor. He took aim
and fired—the chicken dropped, with its head
severed from its body, but the fatal bullet
sped on a mission for which it was not intend
ed, and after passing through the barn door
(inch board) struck the child in the face, im
mediately under the left eye, and penatrating
the brain, causing death in four minutes.—
The bereaved family and the heart broken
grandfather have our warmest sympathies.—

DEATH OF JOSEPH SHOEMAKER—HE
IS THROWN PROM A HAND-CAR AND His NECK
Baoxsx.—A most singular and fatal accident
occurred on last Wednesday, while a number
of men employed in Hefright's quarry, near
Warrior Ridge Station, were coming to Hun
tingdon. A hand-car, carrying some ten or
twelve men, was attached, by means of a wire,
held by Mr. Joseph Shoemaker, of this place,
to a cattle train. The wire was fastened
around some portion of the rear end of the
car and the end thrown over Mr. Shoemaker's
arm. Immediately preceding the accident the
hand-car was running a little faster than the
train and the wire was slack. The engineer
put on more steam and the train shot forward.
Mr. Shoemaker was unprepared for the sudden
start, and was jerked from his position on the
car, turning a complete somersault, upon the
track breaking his neck and otherwise injur
ing him. He was taken to his residence in
West Huntingdon where he lingered from
noon until about half past four o'clock. He
was an excellent citizen, and leaves a beloved
wife and numerous of friends to mourn his
untimely end.

PARTIES.—As the nights are growing
longer and the season for overcoats and furs
is rapidly approaching, the young gentlemen
and ladies of Mount Union, have already be
gun to devise and carry into execution plans
for social enjoyment. The old style of parties
is still much in vogue, and it is safe to say
there will be many such held in Mount Union
during the coming winter. We hope all will
enjoy themselves and be the better of the time
spent in trying to make themselves and others
happy.

COURT PROCEEDINGS, Nov. TERM
1873.
Commonwealth vs. Emanuel N. Erb. Indictment,
Larceny and receiving stolen goods. This case
had been continued from August Sessions 1873.
The party prosecuting was the Penna. Railroad
Company. The Commonwealth attempted to show
that Mr. Erb had taken from about the railroad a
quantity of iron and brass which he offered for
sale with intent to profit thereby. The defence
avered that the iron and brass had been taken by
the son of Mr. Erb without his knowledge or con
sent, and that though offered by the son for sale
it had not been sold. The jury returned with a
verdict of not guilty.
Commonwealth vs. Edward Dalton. Indictment,
"Failure to make return." Mr. Dalton is consta
ble for Carbon township. It is alleged that cer
tain parties had placed in Mr. Dalton's hands, in
formation against some persons in his township
for selling liquor withbut license, and Mr. Dalton
was required to make return to August Sessions,
which, having failed to do, is the cause of his be
ing indicted. The case is continued on Defen
dant's recognizance to next sessions.
Commonwealth vs. D. R. P. Ruddy. Inietment,
selling liquor without license. Grand jury re
turned a true bill. Mr. Roddy was returned at
August Sessions by the Constable of Cromwell
township, for selling liquor without license• The
evidence was not sufficient in the estimation of
the jury to convict the defendant of the offence;
so they brought in a verdict of not guilty but that
defendant pay the costs of his prosecution.
Commonwealth vs. Thomas G. Williams. In
dictment, Assault and Battery. A true bill re
turned. The prosecutor in this ease was Simon
Cohn. This offense was committed at Coffee Run.
Mr. Williams resorting to this agreeable method
to induce Mr. Cohn, who is a freight or express
agent, t , ship over the railroad for him a keg of
cider which Mr. Cohn thought was not in a con
dition to be shipped safely, there being no vent to
permit the gas raised by firmeatation to escape.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the de
fendant was ordered to enter into recognizance to
appear at next argumeut Court for sentence.
Commonwealth vs. James Shafe-. Indictment,
Fornication and Bastardy. A true bill. The de
fendant is not yet taken which accounts for the
brevity of this report of the ease.
Commonwealth vs. Frank Benner, alias Frank
Cartwright. The indictment here is also Fornica
tion and Bastardy and the Grand Jury also re
turned a true bill, but as the offence was commit
ted in Bedford county, the defendant was invited
to enter into recognizance in the sum of $5OO to
induce him to go before the Quarter Sessions of
Bedford county for a final disposition of the ease,
which invitation does not yet seem to have been
accepted.
Commonwealth vs. John Pollock. Indictment,
Libel. The prosecutor was A. 13. Shenefelt, esq.,
after inquiring into the affair, the Grand Jury col
eluded to return the bill "ignoramus" and to ask
the proseeutor to pay all the costs which was ac
cordingly done.
Commonwealth vs. Jerry Tate, John Tate and
David Ritter. The indictment consisted of two
counts, the first being for riot and the second for
assault and battery. This prosecution grew out
of an affray which took place, some time in Octo
ber, in the store of Etuier do Foust, at Mill Creek.
Mr. D. B. Etnier was the victim of the assault, and
the evidence was sufficiently to the point to induce
the jury to convict the defendants on the second
count, but to acquit them on the first one, the
sentence has not been pronounced yet.
Commonwealth vs. George D. Hudson, indict
selling liquor without license. The defendant.
was returned, at August Sessions, by the Constable
for selling liquor without license in Three Springs
Borough. The evidence seemed somewhat defect
ive and so the grand Jury made the return "rota
True Bill" and the county to pay the costs.
Commonwealth vs. George D. Metz. Indict
ment nuisance. The defendant is one of the sup
ervisors of Brady township and a public road in
that township not having been opened thirty
three feet wide, the Supervisors were called upon
to give the road the requisite width, which they
neglected to do and therefore this prosecution.
The case is continued to next Sessions the bill
having been Owned a true one.
Commonwealth Vs. William McGowan. Indict
ment selling Liquor without license. The defend
ant was returned at last August Sessions by the
constable of Shade Gap borough. Tho Grand
Jury having found a true bill, the defendant plead
ed guilty and sudmitted to the Court. Which
gentleness of disposition was immediately reward
ed by information from the Court, that defendant
was required to pay into the Connty Treasury, as
a fine, the sum of $lOO and to pay all the costs of
the prosecution both of which requirements were
instantly complied with.
Commonwealth vs. James Mantle. Indictment,
Selling liquor without license. Information was
made to August Sessions last past, by the Con
stable of Mount Union. The Grand Jury ound
a true bill. The case then went to the traverse
jury who upon theevidence brought in a verdict
of not guilty, but that the defendant pay the
cost..
The ease of the Commonwealth vs. Dr. J. F.
Thompson, was one of the same nature, but there
being no evidence that the offence had been com
mitted the Grand Inquest returned not a true bill,
and the county pay the casts.
Commonwealth vs. Henry Hess. Indictment,
Selling liquor without license. This was by far
the most interesting case on the criminal list. It
appears that the social spirits of Petersburg and
vicinity, sometime in the month of May, feeling
that thy local option law bore a little hard upon
them, determined to have some of the "inwaria
ble" where it would be convenient at all seasons.
They, for that purpose, organized a "Social Club"
and having procured a written Constitution, a
President, Secretary and Treasurer, proceeded to
do their drinking in trite parliamentary Style
thinking themselves safely fortified behind their
constitution and forms against any encroachments
of the iaw. The members were formerly initiated,
each paying a fee of one dollar, and the plan be
ing generally liked the membership soon rose to
80 or 100, and the fund thus raised was invested
in Whiskey, Ale and Porter. They then rented&
Club Room from Mr. Hess for two dollars per
month, and engage& him also to pass the"refresh
ments" around, when required so to do, he agree
ing to perform that pleasant service for thirty
dollars per month. The barrels being deposited
in the Club room, the club was ready to transact
business. Whenever one of its members felt thirs
ty he just stepped in and deposited his dimes and
half dimes with the treasurer, receiving therefor
as many "tickets" as he thought would be equal
to the number of glasses of the favorite beverage
required to slake his thirst. With these tickets
he proceeded to the Club room and either giving
them to Mr. Hen or placing them where he could
get them, that individual banded out the"refresh
meats." The Club was happy until the August
Sessions last. Mr. Hess was returned by the Con
stable of Petersburg. The Club then began to
fear that its intrenehments were not safe and con
cluded to adjourn "sine die." These facts were
shown by the evidence, and admitted by the de
fendant. There was no doubt but that the Club
as s collective body was guilty of selling liquor
without license to its members. The court then
instructed the jury that in the commission of mis
demeanors all were principals and that if the Club
was guilty of violating the law, the defendant as a
member of the Club was guilty also, under the
instructions of the Court the jury had nodifficulty
in agreeing, and the defendant was found guilty.
Me has not yet been sentenced.
Commonwealth va. Tither j'ostlewaite. indict
ment, Selling liquor without license. Thin de
fendant was also returned at August Sessions by
the Constable, but there being little or no evidence
against him before the Grand Jury they returned
the bill "ignoramus" the county to pay the costa.
CIVIL CasEs.--James Brieker's Aditers.
Charles Sharrer. This was an issue directed by
the Court to determine how much, if anything, was
due upon a judgment entered against defendant
in 7&71 by James Bricker. There was nothing of
particular Interest in the eaze except tq the parties
immediately concerned. A jury was called and
sworn who found for the defendant.
L. A. Lyon for use vs. Peter Livingston. This
ease attracted considerable attention. As is gen
erally known, M. Livingston last March gave to
L. A. Lyon, judgment notes to the amount ofsB,ooo
for a deed of patent right for a Wind
territory to embrace fifty-six Tounties in this State
and one county In New York. These notes were
sold and bartered away by Lyon to various par
ties in this county. Among the rest was the note
over which tbo contest in this Case was made. Mr.
Livingston set up as 4i f dgoape to the judgment
entered upon the note : which judgment the Court
had opened to let him into a defence, the fraud
by which Lyon, the original owner, bad obtained
the note from him, alleging that Lyon and others
with him, had, by a well-devised and cunning
plan, conspired to defraud him, and as they had
succeeded eminently well, the note was therefore
void,and there could be no recovery upon it, but
the plaintiff, Alexander Myton, the present owner
of the note, denied that the defendant could set up
the fraud as a defence, inasmuch as Mr. Livings
ton had declared to third parties that the note was
all right, and he would pay it, and these declara
tions had been communicated to him before he
took the note and gave value for it, and that
therefore Mr. Livingston was estopped from set
ting up the fraud as a defence. The case was a
close one, a strong effort being made on both
sides. The jury, after an hour's consideration,
brought in a verdict for the defendant.
James Dunn for use vs. A. S. Harrison, Scire
Facies to revive a judgment. Ajury was called,
but before being sworn the defer debt confessed
judgment of revival, and it did not, therefore, go'
to a a jury.
Lowell Shumwny cc. James Dunn. An Alias
Scire Faeias to revive n judgment, the trial of
which was continued by consent.
D. L. Goodman ch Bro. for Use vs. Isaac Wol
verton, et al. This was an appeal by one of defen
dants, but was settled per paper filed before it came
up for trial.
A. L. Huss vs. H. S. Wharton. This suit being
one of several suits and prosecutions between the
said parties, which have attracted to great deal of
public attention, we ge give a brief history of the
case, as we find it on record in the Prothontary's
office. About one year ago last July Mrs. P,nehel
Pope, of this place, Made application for the dis
charge of her daughter Lydia, from the Orphans'
School at Cassville, and in het sivorn statement of
the reason for her application, filed with the
School Board of Huntingdon, she charged that
her daughter Louisa, then seventeen years of age,
when on a visit to the Orphans' School, a short
time before to see her younger sister Lydia Ann,
" was grossly insulted by the Principal, Professor
"A. L. Gass, he having locked her in in hit office
"and after failing to carry out his designs, at
tempted to bribe her not to reveal the matter."
This application and statement were printed
and published, it is alleged by It. F. Wharton. as
an address "to the public" with some comments
denouncing the offence and stating that "several
other charges of the same nature were openly
made and would be substantiated ender oath."
GUAR replied in a hand-bill or circular. and
Wharton then printed and published the affidavit
of Miss Louisa Pope herself to the came fax, in
detail.
Gass then commenced two criminal prosecutions,
and one civil action against Wharton, claiming
damages in the civil suit at 320,000. One of the
indictments was tried at November Term, 1572.
Wharton did not deny the publication, but on
the trial put the defence on the ground that the
matter• charged against (toss was true, and its
publication proper for public information, as it
concerned a man holding a public end responsi
ble position as Principal of a Soldiers Orphans'
School. In defending against a prosecution for
libel the testimeny was confined within narrow
limits, and yet the jury found Wharton not guilty,
and that Gus, the prosecutor, should pay one
half the costs. This was equivalent to saying the
charge made by Wharton was true, and the pros
ecution for libel groundless. When the other bill
of indictment for libel was called for trial Gess
declined to go to trial and a tem press was enter
ed by his counsel. This left only the civil action
for damages, which was down for trial this week.
In this case Wharton had put in a plea of justifi
cation, the effect of which was a distinct offer and
notice on record, that he would prove the truth of
all the alleged libellous charges against Cuss.
This be would have been allowed to do had the
ease gone to trial, and a large number of witnesses
had been subprenaed for that purpose, and as the
plaintiff was claiming for damages to his charac
ter, Mr. Wharton we are informed, bad gone a step
further and subpeenaed additional witnesses to
prove the Professor had little or no character to
to lose. Rich but damaging developments were ex
pected, but on Saturday before the court, about forty
eight hours before the ease was liable to he called
up, the Professor entered on the record a Dm.,
TINUANCE, paid the record costs and quit. If this
was not asquare admission of the charge made by
Louisa Pope and of the "several other charges of
the same nature," which Ones has spread upon the
records of the court, in his declaration or com
plaint, then We are .enable to comprehend the
force and effect of records and judicial proceed
ings. These suits were begun with a great flour
ish of trumpets, no doubt intending to let them
slumber on the record and die a natural death, but
Mr. Wharton forced them either to trial or discon
tinuance. For his firmness in thus dealing with,
and exposing a wicked and dangerous Man, he
deserves the thanks of every good eitizen. We
commend the wholesubjeet. in all its Learings on
the Orphans School Scandals to Goy. Ilartrantt
and Superintendent J. P. Wickersham.
EUNAWAY.—Following, the tide of mi
-1 gration, Charles Dupree, of Mapleton, loaded
a spring wagon with a part of his earthly
goods, and, attaching thereto a horse and a
mule, hied a way for Orbisonia. Alas ; for the
uncertainty of human expectations. He got as
far as Mount Union. At the upper end of the
town his horses (or mules, or quadrupeds, or
—) were frightened by a canal boat. Canal
boats ought to have been abolished as nui
sances tong ago. They have such a quiet,
tantalizing way of scaring horses. But they
can do it effectually sometimes. Mr. Dupree
thought so at least. The horses ran off. They
came down the eighteen hundred dollar road
by the tanneries. That may be a very good
road, but it is not a suitable road for runa
way teams to travel over. The wagon went
into pieces. The horses ran awhile with the
front wheels and tore loose from them. Pieces
of wagon, paint, pickles, household goods and
Mr. D. were scattered along the road. The
latter sustained some injuries, but no serious
ones. He was able to get up and loOk . for
another rig with a view to getting on to Or
bisonia. Perservance will have its reward.—

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.—
&MUFF'S SALE.-Sheriff Lashley, on Satur
day last, sold the following real estate:
"House and lot on Pitt street in the bor
ough of Bedford, sold as the property of J.R.
Darborrow, to M.P. Beckerman, for 53,450.00."
The above paragraph, taken from the Bed
ford Gazette. of the 13th instant, giving pub
licity to the culmination of my financial
troubles, at that place, gives me an opportuni
ty to explain to my readers, certain allegations
and charges, made, from time to time, against
me, by a contemporary, during the late cam
paign, importing improper and criminal acts
to me as an attorney, before my connection
with the JOURNAL. I scarcely deigned to notice
these charges, at the times they were made,
and would not now, were it not that some of
my warm friends assure me, that in justice to
myself, I should do so. I will, therefore, yield to
their solicitation, To do this so as to give all
the bearings upon my ultimate misfortune, I
will be compelled to afflict my readers with a
little of my personal history.
On the first of April, 1862, I took charge of
the Bedford Inquir;r, for tN'to years, as the
lessee of David Over, Esq., now editor and
proprietor of the Hollidaysburg Register. To
the best of my.knowledge, when this event
transpired, I was worth $2OO less than noth
ing. Through a long series of years I had
been compelled, to satisfy a thirst for books,
to read at early morn and late at night, in
all manner of light, until my eyes broke down
—cried out against the unreasonable strain—
with a chronic neuralgia, which afflicts me even
now, and has been the curse of my life, and at
the age of twenty-three, I Was obliged to for
sake all business which required any close ap
pdeation of the eyes. This interfered very
much with my efforts to make financial head
way up to the time of taking the Inquirer.
For one whole year I scarcely read a column
in a newspaper. But rest, which was what my
eyes so 'much needed, gave me some relief, and
feeling this, through the generosity of a true
friend, I took charge of the Inquirer, as before
stated, but I must confess, with much fear and
trembling, lest my eyes should fail me again I
but I had learned how to save them, and I
spared them wherever it was possible.
Expecting to have to relinquish the Inquirer,
at the termination of my lease, I availed myself
of the services of my kind and generous office
boys and others, who volunteered to read for
me during the evenings, the various elemen
tary law books recommended by the late and
much lamented Judge King, who was my kind
preceptor, and whose friendship, I am proudto
say, was only severed when death laid his icy
hands upon him. Thus I studied law, and in
Slay 1863 was admitted to the Bar.
I immediately began to look about for busi
ness, so that when my:lease would expire, I '
could maintain myself and those depending
upon me. The war of 1861 was then upon
the country ; and hundreds of claims were
originating against the government daily. A
gentleman residing in Washington, familiar
with all classes of claims, wrote to MC, as the
editor of the Inquirer, and proposed that it I
would advertise to receive claims, and send
theta to him, be would secure their adjustment
and share the fees. I accepted the proposition
and was the first to advertise for the adjust
ment of the various claims, in the county, and
in a very short spaee of time I had quite a
lucrative business. I made myself Intimately
acquainted with all the various classes of
claims, and after doing so, I dropped my
Washington correspondent, and pursued the
business directly with the various Bureaus at
Was kington.
Oa the first of April, 1864, I surrendered the
office to B. F. McNeill, csq., who had pur
chased from Mr. Over, and gave my entire at
tention to the practice of Law and the Claim
business. Mr. McNeill conducted the paper
until the 28th of April, 1865, when, owing to
his inability to meet various claims due and
owing by him, he was obliged to sell out, and
John Lutz, and myself, became the purchasers.
. .
. •
We entered into a co-partnership. in the Law,
Claim and Printing business, which subse
quently developed into the Book Business,
also. A few weeks later I purchased the town
property, mentioned by the Gazette, and thus
in a few weeks, created an indebtedness of
$5,000. This was a mistake. _ _
The co-partnership above mentioned lasted
until the 17th of.Tuly, 1868, when, owing to
incompatibility of temperament. I insisted
upon withdrawing from it, and Mir. Lutz pur
chased my interest. In the meantime I had
paid off the purchase money, with the excep
tion of a mortgage for $l5OO, of the town
property. When I got rid of the partnership
I repairedmy residence, at a cost of fronislloo
to $l2OO, and, in addition, I assisted a poor,
neighboring woman carry out a long-cher
ished object, to build a house, which cost
me $730. Here were expenses of nearly $2,-
000 to be met. These were incurred during
the years 1868—'69. I mention these facts
particularly to show the combination of cir
cumstances which brought about my difficul
ties.
About the first of October, 1869, Mr. Shan
non's Bank closed up. I had deposited with
Mr. Shannon from his entering the banking
business, but at the time he closed there was
a balance of a few dollars against me. His
suspension caused a run on Reed As Schell's
Bank. It became evident that if the business
men of the town did not sustain them that
they, too, would be compelled to close. I
anticipated a general paralisation of busi
ness, in such an event, and I determined, to
the extent of my ability, to help them out of
their trouble, and my Bank Book shows that
from the Gth of October to the 12th of Novem
ber, I deposited $6,200, and when the bank
closed ou the 15th of November, 1869, (1
quote from memory,) I had a balance of $1995,
but two checks, cashed by. Michael A. Sanner,
esq., of Somerset, for $475, were charged up
against me, subsequently, leaving an actual
balance to be accounted for by the Assignees,
of $1420. This was the money of my clients,
and they needed it. I was obliged to borrow
to to meet their demands. It was the only
alternative. Matters looked blue enough.
Nearly $2,000 before and here was $1,420 ad
additional. In one instance where a claim
ant did not need her money, I gave my judg
ment note to herattorney in fact, 0. Gardill, esq•
of West End, for the amount due, (which was en
tered and paid by the sale above stated), and
this was the only money ever withheld,
of the thousands of dollars collected by me,
and I challenge successful contradiction of this
statement. And, yet, I have been charged,
times without number, with having collected
Pension and Bounty mouey and having refused
to pay it over, until ivy friends insist, (the
election being over,) that I should refute the
charges and prove my innocence. The fol
lowing article, copied from the Bedford County
Press, of the 28111 of August, 1872, written by 1
Miijor General, D. S. Elliott, speaks for itself:
1
"A Base Slander.—The unscrupulous editor
of the Huntingdon Globe seems to take au
especial delight in slandering his neighbors.
To this end he has lately been making J. R.
Durborrow, of the Journal, a marked object of
his indecent venom. Among other ugly
things, he charges Mr. Durborrow with the"
commission of a very grave offence whilst a
resident of this comity, namely, that the said
Durborrow improperly used the pension money
of the widows fur whom ho had collected since
the tsar. Now we have known Mr. Durborrow
for ten years, and others here have known UM .
longer ; we were au inmate of his office fer
two years, previous to his retirement from the
Inquirer, and in all this Unit Itqd among the
many people for whom he did business, we
never heard such a charge or even so much as
hinted at, much less openly broached. It is
simply a lie out of the whole cloth. Sir. Dur •
borrow can easily prove it if he thinks. it
worth while to take account of the old Sinner
who perpetrated it. Where Mr. Durborrow is
known such charges fall to the ground, and it
is only to set him right abroad that we thus
voluntarily rise in his defense."
It became apparent to tae, that to once
myself from a financial wreck I would
lie compelled to "pull out" from Bedford, as
railroad neon say. The Claim business had
run out, and the Legal business, owing to a
general stagnation, resulting from the closing
up of the banks, and the bankrep
ing of the community for the time being,
was not paying. Bat there was no opening.
In the meantime the railroad project was
revived, in which Y had taken great interest.
A year or so.previously, when I felt myself in
good circumstances, I had subscribed $5OO,
but since ray loss I proposed to take oft' my
name and subscribe a less amount, but it was
argued that if I did so ethers would follow my
example,lind it would materially retard the
project, and my subscription was left at $5OO.
In addition to this I labored five months subse
quently as Secretary of the Board of Railroad
Directors, without receiving a single farthing
of remuneration. I make a present of the ad
vantages of all this to Bedford hoping t hat
it will be worth more, to her than it has been
lo me,

.41.5,01 d
.269,848
146,239
In the meantime I was Induced to come to
Huntingdon. T 'came, but without money.
Mr. Cremer agreed to sell the Republican office
and the Taylor .5, Murphy lob Office to me for
$3,500, about Mae-half cash and the balance
in payments. This hand money was borrowed . ;
a number of gentlemen gnaranteeiugpayanent.
For the payments I gave my judgment note
stipulating, at the time, at least I so under
stood, that it should not bo entered up, but it
was entered up immediately. This sent oth
ers, who held any considerable amounts
against me, to the record. Then commenced
efforts to .compel payment. It woo univer
sally conceded that My property in Bedford
county was ample to cover all the liens, but
the parties who guaranteed the payment of
the hand money for the Republican office, fear
ed lest some one of the Bedford creditors,
would swoop down upon my office and sacri
fice it. In the meantime suit was brought
on the railroad subscription and judgment oh
tained. To satisfy - the parties who were back
ing me here I agreed that an execution should
be issued and my interest in the JouttNAL sold
to protect them. The debt having been crea
ted in purchasing the office it was no more
than right that it should be held to secure
payment. After the issuing of the execution,
Mr. Cremer became alarmed lest some parties
might snap up my friends at the sale, sent over
to Bedford and secured a copy of record and
entered it here, and issued an execution and
then handed it to my friends and requested
them to use it as they felt disposed. This was
intended as a friendly move, and I accept it as
such, but it was a dead loss to me of at least
$l,OOO. It is scarcely necessary to state that
Col. Musser purchased my interest as I so stet•
ed on a former occasion.
I tried every means to sell my property in
Bedford, but all my efforts were fruitless.
Bedford is a poor place to get rid of property
unless you permit the sheriff tosell it. The fact
is he is the only successful real estate agent
about the place. I determined to get rid of
the load of debt, however, and refused to nego
tiate further extensions, and it went to sale at
a great sacrifice. Some of my Bedford friends
saw an opportunity to make a speculation and
, they were not slow to avail themselves of it.
I shall remember the matter very likely for
some time to come ; my memory, I am happy
1 1 to say, is not in the least impaired.
The property sold to corer all the liens against
it, and this puts me square on my feet again. I
feel very much relieved, and shall go forward
meeting my very few remaining obligations
as promptly as any man can do during the
present stringency. It liar been said that I
refuse to pay my debts and will not do so
when they can be avoided. I refer to ail with
whom I have had business relations, for the
last fifteen years, with a single exception, for
a refutation of this slander. To meet every
promise that I make is and has been the first
object of my life. and when there is a will
there is a way.
To explain another charge against me more
fully. I will revert again to the malicious pro
secution against me in the United States Dis
trict Court for the Western District of Penn
sylvania. I took into my office, early in the
year 1869, a young man, a relative of my fam
ily, residing in the State of Illinois, who de
sired to read law. 7 agreed to take him into
my office, furnish books, board, lodge and
. .
otherwise provide for him, provided he would
read far me and assist in doing the office work.
Ho came and entered upon his studies, and
for a time did well, but in the course of a few
months he became dilatory, loose in his hab
its, and very obeoxious to me. I charged
him with serious irregularities and he conce
ded and asked me to forgive him, but he seem
ed so ungrateful to me that I was not in a re
lenting mood, and I signified that he must
• leave me. Then he swore revenge! He had
been constantly present, and overheard, in a
great measure, what bad transpired between
clients and myself. He knew that there was
a statute inflicting a penalty for taking execs
sive fees. A statute which drove all respect.
able lawyers from the business and turned it
over to shysters. Ile had seen clients pay me
more than the stipulated fee and presumed it
was for legal services rendered alone in a claim,
when it was for legal services rendered per
haps in half-a-dozen cases. Be left "my bed
and board" one morning, and the next made
information against me, before U. S. Commis.
sioncr, Gamble, at Pittsburgh, for taking ille
gal fees. When the fact was reported at Bed
ford, the Bar, with a unanimity unprecedented,
presented my case to the United States Dis
triet Attorney who, upon an examination of
the facts, was satisfied that it was a malicious
prosecution, and by direction of the Commis
sioner of Pensions entered a nolle proaequi. If
my clients had been complaining there would
have been another face upon the affitir.
In conclusion, I would say that few, if any,
country papers in the State are upon a better
financial basis than the JOMIA.L. With an
indebtedness of a few hundred dollars, princi
pally for stock, of which we have every nook
and corner crowded full, we have a large
amount, aggregating thousands of dollars, on
our books. Our business is rapidly increas
ing, and with a few more years of hard tenor
I expect to be free from all traces of the late
embarrassment. This much I have written to
satisfy my patrons in regard to the man who
edits the JoraaOL. It is humiliating that such
a course is necessary, but there appears to be
no other left. J, R. D.

From Mapleton.
11.1m.rvox, November 12,_1873.
EDITOP. JoraxAt notice in your . Jousset
of this date. a letter signed "Edd," criticising
a meeting held in the ?I. E. Church in this
place. And as you so kindly invited the in
terested parties to correct the writer, is evi
dence that you doubted the truth of his state
ment before you published it.
In regard to the singing—we admit we are
not perfect and would like very much to em
ploy a Singing Teacher for the winter ; per
haps he (Edd) could be secured. As regards
the benzine, I suppose the writer had his
share of it or he could not have found so many
faults with the meeting. And as for the ladies
of oar town—there are but few of them who
wear bustles and those that doom able to buy
fashionable ones, much better than the one
worn by "Edd's" lady. As he appears to have
no knowledge of any other kind than the pa
per kind, will "Edd' please tell his lady that
she can buy- a spring bustle at the milliner's?
Then she can throw away the one made from
sporting papers such as would likely befound
about "Edd's" pockets. We have no ladies in
our town who wear curls.
• The trustees of our church have adopted
promiscuous setting and therefore we cannot
find fault with the lady for moving her
seat. Suppose she had occasion for it—per
haps she did not want to set close to "Edd."
The writer. "Edd," came to church and what
for? . To criticise what was goieg on ; to make
fun of the singing awl sit and gape at every
,lady that canie in. We would advise "Edd"
to make 1113 pea,: with God, and then when
he visits the house of God he can join in sing
ing as well - as in praying, for we admit we
need help for both. We would advise our
brethren along the P. R. R. west of this to
keep a watch for him as he is traveling in
that direction, A 3insuotn.
