The Mount Union Times and the Huntingdon
Globe, by an elaborate report of the Livingston
case, try to slur the Methodist Church. We
would remind these papers that the Methodist
Church is as much above their narrow com
prehension of the eternal fitness of things as
the heavens are above the earth.
There has been quite a stir among those in
terested in Poor House affairs in regard to
the appointments of the New Board. It don't
make much difference to us what comes to
pass so that Logan goes out and that is set

what he supposed to be the house of his friends.
Col. Edwards, of the "Victor," has placed
us under obligations for a bundle of very su
perior segars. They arc none of your cent-a
grab kind, but genuine "Habana," and it is a
real pleasure to smoke them. Col, Edwards
keeps a first-class establishment, and we are
pleased to know that is rapidly growing into
popular favor.
Every ether man you see nowwants to know
whether it is convenient for you to pay that
little bill. And when you inform him that it
is not, he looks very much astonished, and
demurely asks when it will suit you. We
used to tell everybody they must wait until
Court week, but since our last Court we can
not fix soy definite time, Court weeks, to us,
have proven a delusion and a snare.
Friends, make an effort to increase the cir
culation of the JOURNAL. We will send it
three months for FIFTY CINTS or six months
for a dollar. Every - thing depends upon the
circulation of wholesome intelleetual food.
We want to increase our circulation to TWO
THOUSAND. An increase of four newspapers
at each postoffice in the county will do this.
Help us to raise the number . Come, now,
give us a helping hand I
It is strange how many persons want to fig
ure in the newspapers, and yet how compara
tively few want to pay for the notoriety. It
is such a luxury to have your name read and
re-read, a thousand times, but—yon don't like
to pay for the luxury. Remember that we
make our living by publishing a paper, and
you by the notoriety it gives you in business,
and otherwise. Then don't hesitate to act
manly with that which benefits you. Return
value for value.
On Thursday of last week a German tramp
called at the residence of Mrs. Irwin, at Bell's
Mills, and asked for something to cat, and af
ter having his wants supplied iu that line,
left, taking with him a fine gold watch be
longing to Mrs. Irwin. The fireman of an
Engine on the Bell's Gap Railroad, went in
pursuit of the thief, whom he overtook, but
did not succeed In recovering the watch.
Tramps should be closely watched while
about the premises of any of our citizens, as
many of them under the guise of asking alms
are only seeking au opportunity to make away
with such articles of value as fall under their
notice.—Tyrone Democrat.
It will be wisdom in the business men of
Altoona to rally around the daily Tribune.
We are satisfied that there is no money to be
made by its publication at present, and Messrs.
McCrum and Dern cannot be expected to sus
tain a medium, which gives the town, and not
only the town, but the Juniata Valley, cast
and character, without the assistance of those
who are immediately benefitted. It is a very
creditable paper, yea, we feel proud that the
Juniata Valley is able to produce such a
sprightly little sheet a credit alike to
the profession and to the section. We insist
upon it that it should be well patronized.
Local papers benefit every business and pro
fessional man in the neighborhood in which
they are published, and they have a right to
ask the support of everybody.
CHURCH DEDICATION.—From a com
munication, over the signature of a Torgem an,'
in the Tyrone herald, of last week, we take
the following account of the erection and ded
ication of a neat and commodious new Meth
odist Church, at Birmingham, on Sunday last.
The writer says :
When the leading men of Birmingham, in
the persons of J. R. Thompson, Dr. Owens and
others, proposed to pull down the old church
and build a new one on the same• site, they
disregarded the difficult and discouraging cir
cumstances that seemed to fringe the sur
roundings, and bravely "carried the battle to
the enemy's gate." As a reward for their
untiring efforts, may they see the glory of the
former exceeded by the glory of the latter
temple.
The dedication of this neat and beautiful
edifice took place on Sunday, the 16th, inst.
The house was crowded to overflowing. The
different denominations of christians deserve
special credit, not only for their marked pe
cuniary aid, but for closing their churches,
while all hands turned out to hear Dr. Pershing,
of Pittsburgh, who endeared himself to the
people in two rousing, thoughtful and finished
sermons. Indeed, the Doctor's discourse in
the evening was a master piece. A pleasant
earnestness and melting fore characterized
this sermon. He was assisted in the morning
by Dr. Wilson, of the Presbyterian church, on
whom he places the highest estimate. The
two D. D's were college mates together, and
the warm feeling existing between them are
results of christian fellowship and friendly in
tercourse in earlier years. After the morning
sermon it was announced officially, that it was
necessary to raise $5OO, in order to put the
church out of debt. Dr. Pershing took hold
and managed the finances in his most happy
style. As many present had subscribed lib
erally before, it was thought by many that
the Doctor would "stick." But these misgiv
ings soon gave way, as the contributions of
the people came in on a grand stale. Rev.
John Horning, Dr. Owens, and F. 51. Bell
worked like beavers in the congregation. And
many were the fives and tens that Rev. Mr.
Gnynn smilingly suffered to be placed in his
hands by the generous givers. The children's
meeting in the afternoon, was a season of
great interest, and, though I was not present,
learn that appropriate addresses were deliv
ered by Dr. Pershing, Rev. Wm. Guynn and
others, and that over $lO in money were given
by the children.
Altogether, the occasion of the dedication
was a high day in Birmingham. The $5OO
asked for by the Trustees, was more than
provided for. Not grudgingly were the con
tributions handed it, but cheerfully. All
seemed anxious to give something, and did
give something. I need not add that the pas
tors, Rev's. Guynn and Horning, and people—
though some of their countenances In the
morning, looked as long as the moral law—
were jubilant over the result. With the en
ergy and spirituality manifested, a bright fu
ture may be anticipated. And if ever Dr.
Pershing takes it into his bead to ask for a
transfer to the Central Penn'a. Conference, the
announcement would send a thrill of joy to
many hearts. The church is a good one. The
accommodations for public service ample, the
audience room beautiful, and the class and
Sunday school room convenient. The total
cost is $2,500, more than provided for.
IMPORTANT MEETING.—In pursuance
of a call issued by the citizens of Mt. Union to
form a Stock company to pipe the water from
Jack's Spring to this place with a Jet attached
of 600 feet high,—build a spacious Hotel in
Mt. Union and one on the top of the mountain
by the spring; a meeting was held at the
American House on last Saturday night,
which was largely attended, and presided over
by Rev. Cyrus Jeffries. John H. Miller was
elected Vice President, and John S. Bare Sec
retary.
Mr. Jeffries on taking the chair, stated the
object of the meeting, and the proposed course
to be pursued to snake Mt. Union a place of
summer resort, by building a spacious Hotel
at this place, and attaching a Tel d'art. The
project is to he conducted by a Stock concern.
Shares of stock being 8100, and at least
$lOO,OOO was to be raised for that purpose.
He represented the benefit that the town would
derive from such an enterprise—the increase
in value of property—the augmentation of
population and business, and the moral effect
upon the entire community. He presented a
drawing which had been prepared by himself,
showing the proposed improvements.
lion. John Dougherty was called on, who,
in a well toned speech, explained the impor
tance of this project being carried out and the
benefit derived therefrom. He was followed
by H. E. Shafer, esq., who pictured the advan
tages of the town and the feasibility of the
project. lie drew a comparison between
Bedford, Cresson and other places with Mt.
Union as a summer resort, and demonstrated
clearly that the project was easy of comple
tion.
At the conclusion of the discussion a com
mittee of three gentlemen were appointed to
purchase the necessary lands to Garry out the
project,
The committee is composed of H. E. Shafer
esq. Hon. John Dougherty, and Rev. Cyrus
Jeffries, who is the Chairman.
On motion of Mr. Dougherty the thanks of
the meeting were voted to Hon. B. F. Meyers,
editor of the Harrisburg Patriot for his kind
ness in tendering the use of the columns of
his paper for the benefit of this enterpriEe ;
and the Secretary was instructed to prepare
a brief statement of the proceedings of the
meeting for publication in the Patriot and
Telegraph, Mount Union Times, and Hunting
don Monitor, Globe, and JOURNAL.
The meeting then ajonrned, to reasemble at
the call of the chairman, as soon as the com
mittee on lands are ready to report the con
ditions upon which the lands can be pur
chased.—Afi. Union Times.
THANKSGIVING DAY.—.The day was
generally observed, by the business men of
the town, and the streets were almost as quiet
as a Sabbath. At ten and a-half o'clock a
large number of persons assembled in the
new Presbyterian Church to hear a Thanks
giving Sermon by the Rev. J. G. Dole, of the
Reformed Church. Mr. Dole was assisted by
the Rev. Mr. Foster, of the M. H. Church, end
Rev. Mr. McHenry, of the Lutheran Church.
Mr. Dole's sermon was listened to very closely.
It was a very fine effort, and did the Reverend
gentleman much credit. A number of passages
were extremely eloquent. His allusions to the
late "unpleasantness" and our patriotism were
very fine.
A collection, for the benefit of our poorovas
taken up, before the sermon, which was quite
generously responded to.
During the afternoon, the turkeys and other'
fine things, were disposed of.
In the evening, the Fair, for the benefit of
the Hook and Ladder Company, was well pa
tronized. The boys were delighted with their
success. A largo party also assembled at the
new residence of Capt. Wm. K. Barchinell, in
West Huntiegdoa, and "tripped the light fan
tastic toe" until the "wee sum' hours."
Thus passed the day here.

A Lether From Ould Ireland
BY DENNIS WRAFFEIITY,
The wind round the corners was howlin,
Dark clouds through tho heavens were rowlin,
Me dog in the corner was growlin,
Wid grief at the sight of me face,
For shure me poor heart was all broken,
And all for the want of some token,
Of friendship sincerely outshpoken,
From over the caperin Enys.
'Twas long since me sowl had been bathin,
In joy at the love that was brathin,
Across the big ponil at the hathin,
‘"'
Who caused his dear parents to wipe,
By lavin the land of big praline,
Where each rosy lassie so swate
And broke each inquisitive head is,
To larn him deep silence to kape.
But while me wake silfl was rockin
To rest, at me duro came a knocking—
Like a flea in the hale of a ehtockin
I hurried to welcome me friend,
For I knew by his knock 'twas the postman,
Shnakin up like a murthorin ghost-man,
He came not so noisy as most men,
So I opened and bade him come in.
Arrah whack! whillaloo! a big lether !
As big as the ear of a setter,
Which loosed blue despair's bindin fetter,
And freed me poor wapin sick cowl!
'Twos chock full of news to the handle,
That lighted me heart like a candle,
. _ _
Wid a beautiful touch of black scandal,
To sason its pages wid all.
So Dennis goes forward rejoicin.
Though able to kape the loud noise in,
That up from his stummock is risin,
Becase of his rivers of joy,
And hopin the like will oft happen,
That soon on me dure he'll be rappin,
Whin I in despair fall a nappin !
Pei still yere affectionate boy.

It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most

It is an independent political paper. belonging
to no party and wearing no collar. It fights for
principle, and for the election of the best men to
office. It especially devotes its energies to the
exposure of the great corruptions that now weaken
and disgrace our country, and threaten to under
mine republican institutions altogether. Ithas no
fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their sup
porters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the cattle-markets,
to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One
dollar a year will secure it for any subscriber. It

CYCLOPEDIA. -•
roer
Within the last ten years the progress act..
ery in every department of knowledge has made ..
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consevent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our owneountry, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, ands new
course of commercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large accessions to uur geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The g reat political revolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in every one's mouth, and of
whose lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought and im
portant sieges maintained, of which the details are
as yet preserved only is the newspapers or in the
transient publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their place in permanent and authen
tic history.
- -
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most resent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of po
litical and hictorical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the most ample re
sources for carrying it on to a .successful termina
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on now
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopmdia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the presen: edition have been vide , /
Dot for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
lucidity and force to the explanations in the text.
They embrace all branches of !science and of natu
ral history, and depict the most famous and re
markable features of sesnery, architecture and art,
as well as the various processes or mechanics and
man. facturers. Although intended for instruction
rather than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution is enormous and it is believed
they will find a welcome reoeption as an admira
ble feature of the Cycloptedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
ou delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Weed Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
