cember. "Old Probabilities" has keen ex
tremely mixed.
A very fine Maltese cat found its way to our
domicil, last week, where it was kindly cared
for until it scratched everybody about the
house. This was toe much for flesh and blood,
and it was turned adrift.
In most other towns landlords are bringing
down rents, but in this place they seem to
have no conscience, and do not consider that
the wages of mechanics and laboring men
have been reduced to scarcely living prices.
One of the things that the Legislature should
do at once is to repeal the law making it a
penal offense to sell a railroad ticket that has
been partly used. A man ought to have the
right to do with his own property what he
pleases.
Several married men talk of breaking up
house-keeping, in the Spring, owing to the
scarcity of houses and the unreasonable rents.
This is bad. Why can't a sufficient number
of houses be built and rented at a reasonable
figure ?
Tho. W. Montgomery, esq., has been induct

of them—a treasurer. The "spondulicks" will
be safe in his hands.
The death of Augustus B. Carver, of Bed
ford; on the Ist inst , was one of the most sad
it has been our duty to record. Hewes work
ing on the rail road and w. ‘s struck by an en
gine and fearfully mangled. He leaves a wife
and several children.
An Altoona female, the other day, took
laudanum, in too large a quantity to be fatal,
because an adolescent youth of the Mountain
City took a fair one from the Smoky City,
and married her, and returned to his home to
live with her and be happy.
Un the first of April next, the JOURNAL will
occupy Port's three story brick building, from
attic to cellar. We expect to put in a small
steam engine, which will complete our office
outfit, and it will then be second to none in
the interior of the State.
We read in our exchanges of surprise par
ties, the victims of these surprises always be
ing poor preachers ; but we never heard of
poor editors being surprised with presents of
gold watches, printing presses and other use
ful articles. Why is this thus ? -
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
building a new station at Barree. Since the
destruction of the old one by fire, Blr. J.
Swoope has entertained everybody who has
come to the station, in his shoe , shop. The
whole community feels grateful to that gen
tleman.
An individual wrote to us the other day, to
stop the JOURNAL, but we can't do it. There
are over 1700 actual subscribers absolutely
clamoring for it, and we can't disappoint them
to oblige this one poor unfortunate. We
would like to do something for him, but his
request is preposterous. Stop the JOURNAL ?
No, not for Joe.
J. C. Walker, of Petersburg, owing to the
stringency of the money market„ has failed to
meet his liabilities, and placed all of his prop
erty in the bands of Dr. H. Orlady, as As
signee, in trust for the benefit of creditors.
It is confidently believed that he will have
fifteen thousand dollars after all creditors have
been fully paid.
Whenever a young man makes weekly pil
grimages to the rural districts, regardless of
the weather, you can bet your bottoni dollar
that a piece of calico is the attraction that
takes him thither. We know a chap who does
thia very thing. He mounted his steed on
Saturday eve and hied away to his lady-love
through seas of mud.
The ne* Methodist Episcopal Churah, of
Warriorsmark, was dedicated, on last Sunday,
Rev. T. M. Reese, Presiding Elder, Rev. J. W.
Haughawout, Rev. G. W. Guyer, and the
pastor in charge, Rev. Wm. Guyon, officiating,
Rev. Reese preaching in the morning. The
donations amounted to $3400, some $4OO in
excess of the indebtedness.
A merchant who should sell his sign-board
and attempt to carry on business without one,
because money is scarce, would be considered
little better than insane. Those who atop ad

waiting to learn who will sell cheapest those
articlesof comfort and necessity, whirls even

The ladies of the Huntingdon Relief Society
tender their sincere thanks to Messrs. R. B.
Wigton, Josiah M. Bacon, and the firm of
Berwind & Bradley, of Philadelphia, for their
prompt and generous donations of coal ; also
to Mr. A. Elliott and Mr. Keever for the very
valuable assistance they have rendered, in the
storage and distribution of the same, and to
those who have been kind enough to deliver
On Monday morning, as two Hollidaysburg
gentlemen, while hunting in Frankstown
township, were approaching the old Wertz
homestead, in the "Loop," they observed
smoke and flames issuing from a house near
the mansion, in which for a number of years,
two insane members of the family, a brother
and sister, had been confined. They at once
gave the alarm and on proceeding , to the
burning building, beheld the two inmates
burned to a crisp. The origin of the fire is
unknown, and it is thought that the inmates
were smothered before the fire reached them.
Superintendent McNeal assures us that there
is a decided improvement in our Schools over
last year. We are glad to hear this and hope
the good work may go on. There is room for
great improvement. We want more profesion
al teachers. Every community that can keep
up a school, thronhout the year, ought to be
supplied with one. They are the centers from
which much of the school interests should
radiate.
The Altoona Sun says that a new Democratic
paper is to be started in this place to he called
the "People's Weekly." We would like to
know who has eight or ten thousand dollars
to spend on a paper of this kind in this place?
It will take at least four thousand dollars to
start a rival that will amount to anything,
and it will take twenty-five hundred dollars to
run it for the first year, and fifteen hundred
for the second, before it could be established,
and very likely it would not be established
even then. No old paper can be run out that
pays proper attention to the interests of the
party and of the community in which it is
published. It is one of the impossibilities.
The Mt. Union Orchestra gave a concert and
dramatic entertainment at that place, on New
Year's night. A number ofpersons from Hun
tingdon attended the performance, and they ex
press themselves as having been pleased with
the exercises. Some of the dramatic plays
were, they say, rather dull, and some of them
very good, but all aver that the music was
delightful. It is simply surprising that a new
band can make such good music after taking
lessons such a short time. The members of
the Orchestra are now drilling nightly, pre
paring to give a series of musical entertain
ments in different parts of the county, for the
purpose of raising money to pay a part of the
debt incurred in the employment of a teacher.
We bespeak for them a liberal patronage, and
we know that no one will regret having atten
ded one of their concerts.
ATTEMPT TO COWHIDE AN EDITOR
An Inglorious Turning of the Tables—The As
sailants Forcibly Fjeeted.—Saturday evening last
our town was excited over an attempt, which
proved a miserable failure, to disgrace the
editor of the Huntingdon dounNet, by cow
hiding him. Rumor had various stories in
circulation concerning the affair, and the only
way to obtain a correct report seemed to be
to interview the parties as far as possible. As
the assailants hailed from abroad and had re
turned thereto before we had heard of their
visit to the JOURNAL office, we could not obtain
their side of the story, but by a visit to the
JOURNAL office we obtained an interview with
Mr. Durborrow and "tooli . notes" of his state
ment of the case, which we here append as
matter of local interest.
The facts gleaned from Mr. Durborrow are
as follows :
About half-past four o'clock, on Saturday
last, Mr. Durborrow was seated in his private
room in the JOURNAL office. Heavy footsteps
resounded in the hall leading to his room, and
in a moment the door was rudely thrust•open,
and in filed three men and two young women,
who advanced to where the former gentleman
was seated, with as much audacity as if they
intended to take possession of the establish
ment. The spokesman of the patty demanded,
"Are you Mr. Durborrow ?"
To which that gentleman, glancing up from
his work, answered, "I am."
One of the young women, who had been se
lected to be the principal actor for the party,
and whose words had been prepared for the
occasion, said in effect :
"We have been selected, by the Sixteeners,
to call upon you and demand the name of the
author of a vile and infamous article, published
in the last JOURNAL, to demand a retraction
and to secure the publication of a series of
resolutions which we have adopted. We in
tend to settle this matter to-day, peaceably, if
we can, and -. I will read the resolutions."
"Well," responded Mr. D. coolly.
She read in a slightly excited voice an ac
count of the action taken by them, and the
resolutions adopted, which were full of de
nunciatory adjectives. When she had finished
she demanded to know who was the author of
the article in question.
am," answered Mr. D. emphatically, who
had been somewhat amused, during the reading,
at the severity of the adjectives.
"Will you publish these resolutions ?"
"I am not prepared to answer that question,"
said Mr. D. coolly, who desired to get posses
sion of them without committing himself.
Simultaneously one of the males and his
female questioner said,
"We are going to settle this thing to-day,
peaceably, if we can, and
"Pommy, if you must, eh!" hissed Mr. D.
through his teeth contemptuously. This little
irony appeared to has, entirely demoralized
the young woman. She fell back a step or
two and leaned up against a book case for
support.
~ W hat are you going to do ?" said the
leader of the men to the demoralized young
lady.
She hesitated a moment and said to Mr. D,
that the article was a reflection upon every
young woman who had ever been at Cassville.
Mr. D. replied, in effect, that it would admit
of no such construction.
She endeavored to fortify her position by
argument, when she was cut short by the
leader of the males :
"Don't argue the matter. What are you
going to do?"
To which she hesitatingly and feebly re
sponded, "nothing further."
Her interlocutor stepped down the room
three or four paces and said:
"He says he is the author of-the article. I
will furnish acow-hide to cow-hide him," and
he produced two raw-hides from beneath his
coat and handed them to her, but she made
no move to accept them.
Mr. D., who had all the time been calmly
await!ng the up-shot of the'affair, sprung to
his feet, and in the voice of a Stentor, thun
dered, "Get out of my office !" They not
moving instantly he called to his office force,
"Boys, put . these people out of my office I"
and in rushed three or four attachees, who
had been attracted to the composing room door
by the loud reading of the resolutions. Mr.
P. 0. Decker seized the raw-bides, and
n reached them, in an instant, from the brawny
fellow who held them, and in less than thirty
seconds the whole party was pushed, hustled,
and virtually kicked out of the establishment.

VOIOE OF THE PEOPLE
FROM SHADE GAY.
Ms. EDITOR :-Our little borough still lives
and moves and has its being, and especially
has she been lively during the holidays.
It will be of no benefit to the outside world
to hear from us unless some of our sleeply
neighbors catch the inspiration and take cour
age, but it will be a gratification to us to read
an account of ourselves in the Jouasst•
Our holiday festivities were initiated with a
christmas tree on christmas eve at the M. E.
Church for the Sunday School.
But the event to which all eyes were turn
ed and all the interest centered was the festi
val for the binefitof the Presbyterian church,
to be held on christmas day and evening and
the following evening. The concern opened
with a dinner at one o'clock in the hall of
Milnwood Academy, costing half a dollar per
head, after a five cent admission ticket had
been procured. ln the evening oysters and
ice cream were served—for—the money. In
one corner of the large hall we noticed a con
fectionery and notion establishment which
seemed to be doing a thriving business. Be
sides there wero a post office, lottery table and
contests for cakes. The most exciting of
which was that between lkiiss Montague and
Miss Luger for a beautiful large mike baked
and presented by Mrs. Lizzie A. Sipes.
You would be suprised, Mr. Ed., at the ex
travagance of fashion displayed in an out of the
way village on an occasion of this kind. For
instance there was the charming Miss C.,lately
from Shippensburg, whose evening dress was
of brown tarleton .corresponding with her
beautiful complexion—a cross between bru
nette and blonde. The bottom of the skirt
ant in points and trimmed with black velvet.
Fourlarge loops adorned the head with the front
hair elevated and waved, while two long
Alexandria curls hanging down the back, gave
the finishing touch to this head gear, crown
ing all this was a brown velvet hat trimmed
with a blue flower and roses inside.
Then there was the modest and retiring
Mrs. 8., the moving spirit of the week's festi
vities, moving to and fro with a face all sun
shine and a kind word for every one present
or absent. She wore a walking dress of black
striped poplin, looped en panier, and cloak of
same material trimmed with a band of satin.
Next comes our friend G. L. late from Mon
tana. He wore a grizzly bear skin coat made
with a yoke with two points in the back. His
shirt buttons were simply small gold nuggets
fastened with a screw and were doubtless of
great value. His friends will be sorry to
learn that he had the misfortune to lose two
of his buttons after leaving the hall.
We must not forget to mention our gentle
man friend, 14, W., fresh from Chicago, whose
fine form and genuine accomplishments al
ways render him conspicuous. The favorite
of the ladies and the friend of every body, he
cannot complain if we give him a passing no
tice. His cravat was one inch and five-eights
in the centre and three inches at the end. The
ends were tipped with prarie dog's fur and or
namented with the heads of the animal. We
expect to see this style adopted after the hol
idays in all the hill country round about.
Some of the incidents of the festival were
more amusing than instructive. One gentle
man from the country of more years than
discretion, after getting his ice cream pro
ceeded to salt and pepper it. After tasting
he left the table and °team in dlsgnst, remark
ing that he didn't ""see anything in ice cream
to make such a furs about."
. . . .
A young sport from Orbisonia, with just
two dollars to start in with, ate oysters and
ice cream alternately until strapped. He was
seen. leaving the hall in a stooping llosture,
and the Mat heard cif him, he was dow'n street
inquiring the way to the doctor's office.
• I might multiply examples and incidents
such as the above but thiuk I have given you
enough to show we are pretty well up with
the times.
Financially, the festival came fully up to
the expectations of its friends. The proceeds,
clear of all expenses, amounted to about one
hundred and fifty dollars.
The week's enjoyment wound up with a
New•Year's-Tree (who ever heard of a New-
Year's-Tree before ?) ib. Academy hall for the
amusement of the Sunday School Scholars.
There was a large attendance of parents and
children and all were good natured and hap •
py.

A. D. BRUMBAUGH, 31. D., Editor. All mutter pertaining
to this department sL mid 1,, aidressol to P. O. Dos,
12, Huntingdon, Pa.
In the January Magazines we are introduced
to a feast of good things. Much of the best talent
in the land is engaged upon these periodicals of
the present, so that the freshest thonghts,lipon
living subjects, may be given monthly for the en
joyment and profit of those who avail themselves
of this opportunity, thus afforded, to keep pace
with the progress of the age.
Popular Science Menthly though only in its
fourth volume has already taken a high place
among our leading periodicals. We are all deep
ly interested in the scientific subjects which it
discusses from the stand points of the leading
scientists of the age and time, and that these views
may be made clear to al', most of the articles are
profusely illustrated. The January number is
fully up to the standard. It opens with •an ex—
ceedingly interesting article on Serpents; this is
followed by an article from Prof. Maxwell, on the
Theory of Molicules, and several other papers of
great valueL-The Emotional Language of the
Future; Genesis, Geology and Evolution; Growth
and Decay of Mind, &c. We confess that we had
no idea of the value of this monthly until we had
the privilege of perusing it ourselves. The new
publishers of the Atlantic Monthly, sending out
their January number present their compliments
to its many old friends and pledge themselves not
only to keep it equal to its reputation,but to make
it still more attractive. Prof. Agassiz's article
against the Darwinian Theory gives the earnest
convictions of that now departed scientist. Whit
tier, Holmes and Taylor are the poets of the num
ber. Mr. Aldrich, the editor of Erery Saturday,
begins a serial story, Prudence Palfrey. Charles
Dudley Warner starts for Haddock, and rambles
on the way thither. It seems to have lost nothing
by the change, and H. 0. Houghton & Co. will
continue to add to it a part of their well earned
reputation as book publishers.
Lippincott's, fur January, begins the 13th vol
ume of that beautifully executed, and deservedly
popular, monthly. We have always felt proud of
Lippeneott's as a Pennsylvania magazine, fairly
rivalling the monthlies of sister states. The new
volume opens witlt attractive features. This num
ber has a continuation of the New Hyperian, From
Paris to Marley, by way of the Rhine. The
Frianon Palaces, both profusely illustrated. They
are followed by a number of very readable articles,
anion; which is the coaclusion of A Princes of
Thule. A new story, Malcolm, by Gaye MacDon
ald, will be commenced in the February number.
The publishers propose to make itthe handsomest,
and one of the best and most entertaining of the
monthlies.
7'he American Artiean, which has hitherto been
a weekly publication, with the beginning of 1874
appears as a monthly and will hereafter regularly
appear as ouch, at S 2 a year. The publishers, who
it is said, "have never failed to fulfil their premise
heretofore" pledge themselves that for its price,
and the beauty of its typography and illustra
tions, and the value of its contents, it shall stand
unrivalled among American periodicals. This
is a large boast, but if we are permitted to
judga of its probable fulfilment by the January
number just received we should say it will be
made good. Publishers, Messrs. BROWN do
ALLEN, No. 258 Broadway, N. Y.
Tlie Sanitarian, as its name would imply, is de
voted entirely to Sanitary Science, in its fullest
and proper sense. It occupies a most important
field. Its articles are popular enough to be read
by every person, with profit, and yet unlearned
enough to be of great advantage and interest to
medical men. The January number begins the
10th volume, and we commend it to the notice of
our readers, feeling assured that they will derive
lasting benefits from its monthly visits. $3 per
year.
To-Day, Dr. Dio Lewis' paper, with its interest
ing and varied contents is on our table. The
motto of the paper is appropriate to its spirit—
" Let the dead Past bury its Dead,
Act! act in the living Present."
Dr. Lewis' book entitled, "Our Digestion, or; My
Jolly Friend's Secret," has a great success, and
the paper of which he is "Editor-in-Chief" can
scarcely fail to be equally successful. It is pub
lished by the To-day Printing and Publishing
Company, Philadelphia, Pa., at $2.50 per year,
beautifully illustrated.
"The Way We Live Now," is the title of Antho
ny Trollop's new novel, commenced in the January
number of Ohl and New. It is to be printed in
England in twenty monthly parts. This first in
stalment possesses considerable literary interest.
A new story by George MacDonald entitled
"Malcolm" is commenced in the January number
of Lippineotee Magazine.
It has been reported that the Atlantic is to be
converted to Methodism by the new publishers;
but we are assured that this is a mistake and that
its character will remain unchanged.
A serial story of American life, by Mrs. Mary
Cletaer Ames, is to appear in Every Saturday.
The Riverside Bulletin has been sold to Every
Saturday and will hereafter appear as a special
department of that weekly.
It is asserted that Carleton's "Farm Ballads,'
published by the harpers, have been sold to the
extent of 22,000 copies.
John Morley, the editor of the Fortnightly Re
view, has written a new book entitled "The Strug
gle for National Education."
The popular Philadelphia Publishers, Claxton,
Remsen and Ilaffelfinger have just published
notes on Exodous by Dr. Alfred Irwin, L. L. D.,
which are specially adapted to the "International
Series of Lesson Leaves." The International
Sunday School Lessons begin the new year with
portions of scripture, and these notes will prove a
valuable help. "The Morning Star or Wayside
Musings," and other Poems. By Wm. Mutrie is
a handsomely gotten up work issued by the same
house. "Chtispine," their new game, is becoming
very popular and gives great enjoyment for either
young or old.
The fourth volume in the "International Scien
tific Series," issued by the Appletons, is '(}Hubert
Spencer's ftudyor SoCiology,' which ban attracted
so touch attention in its serial publication in the
Contemporary Renew and Popular Science Month
ly. This series of scientific publications is destined
to be of immense interest and very valuable, judg
ing from the volumes already published.
Fun and instruction in arnithology are admir
ably combined in "Arihide," the new game for
children, that makes game of ninny other birds
besides game birds,

APPLETONS'
AMERICAN *CYCLOP.XDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
Tee New AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation
which it has attained in all parts of the United
States, and the signal developments which have
taken place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and publishers
to submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issae a new edition eatitled THE AMERICAN
CYCLOP-EDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
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.
throat wars and consequent 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, and a new
course of commercial and industrial activity has
been oommenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have boon made by the ioitefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The great politicalrevolutions 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 whirls ought
now to take their place in permanent and :Mimi
tie 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 recent 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 prop,e of po
litical and historical events.
. _
The work has beep begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the most ample re
sources for carrying it on to a successful termina-
Nettle of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopredia, 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 present edition have been added
not 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 scenery, architecture and art,
1 as well as the various processes of mechanic. and
I manufacturers. 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 reception as an admira
blefeature of the Cycloptedia, and worthy of its
high character.
f„ This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
Ahousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
