one does occur, it is very mortifying.
The Cassville Brass Band is said to be
making rapid improvement. It expects to
rival the Huntingdon Band. Silver Cornet
boys, you must blow up, or you will have all
the wind taken out of you some of these days.
It is a very strange thing that Postmasters
cannot learn to put their stamp on a returned
paper. We do not know all our subscribers

paper is returned from, consequently it is not
stopped.
Mr. Bice, who carries the mail between Shit—

his horses ever since.

carefully observing the 'week of prayer," and
therefore consider that it is necessary to top
off with this tribute of justici.--Johnstown
Tribune.
E. P. McKittrick, esq., of Mount Union, cal
led in to see us the other day. Ile is as earn
est, active and uncompromising an opponent
of the rum traffic as ever. We are glad he
speaks encouragingly of the operations of lo
col option in Huntingdon county.—Temperance

Things are humming about the car works.
There are between fifty and sixty hands at
work, and things look lively. We are heartily
glad to hear it. Our friend Welch will have
his hands full now, but he understands his
business thoroughly, and is a most excellent
gentleman.
There is said to be a very fatal disease
among the fowls, in the neighborhood of Shir
leysburg. The fowls go to roost all right, but
before morning they are gone, leaving no trace
behind showing what has befallen them. One
farmer suggeststhat shot, if rightly applied,
might be an effective remedy.
The poetic effusion on our first page, enti
tled "A Ghost," should have been credited to
the Huntingdon JOURNAL. As a rhymster,
"Dennis O'Rafferty" is far from beluga slouch,
and as he is still on the write, we shall take
pleasure in giving publicity to the future effu
sions from his pen.—Cambria Freemen.
On Thursday last, about noon, the alarm of
fire was given at the Poor Houk. The "Mad
House," a house for the hopelessly insane,
was discovered to be on fire. It had been
fired By one of the inmates. Had it not been
promptly extinguished, not only the building,
but some of the unfortunate inmates would
have been consumed.
Let every one who wishes us well—and we
know that we have a host of warm friends—
make an effort to secure us at least one sub
scriber. Don't you know some one who does
not take a county paper ? If you do, and you
think he will pay for it, see that he subscribes
for the JOURNAL immediately. A little bo
ring is all that is necessary.
The war between the Pennsylvania and
Connellsville routes is very fierce. They are,
no doubt, doing a good thing for themselves
and for the public. When the East Broad
is completed we intend to set up a war of this
kind betwcea the H. & B. T. and it, and then
there will be a time. We will visit Broad Top
City then as sure as shooting.
When the editor of the Mt. Union Timessays
that the editor of this paper was a party to the
passage of the advertising bill, in force in this
county, he simply states what is not a fact.—
The bill was passed before we came here, and
signed without any solicitation on our part.
We were never in favor of the bill, and are
ready to join hands with the Times man to se
cure its repeal.
Mr. J. M. Stever, of Cass township, lost a
very valuable mule, during the holidays. He
lives some distance from the hunting territory,
and rode his mule into the neighborhood of it,
and turned it loose, expecting it to return
home as it had frequently done before, but it
delayed, feeding on twigs, and some party
unknown, taking it, no doubt, for a deer, shot
and instantly killed it.
Many of the pillars of the churches will now
handle a pack of cards, and with dexterity- at
that, on Sunday morning before service. It
is but a few weeks ago that we saw several
staid, solemn elders "taking a hand" and
"dealing out" a pack in one of our first
churches, while the parson looked on compla
cently. The elders held the "winning cards,"
too, and raked down the pile.
Place, who occupies a very cozy niche on
the heights, and who, by the way, is an excel
lent book agent, asserts that the atmosphere
up there is four or five degrees warmer than
in the town below. He attributes it to the
friction caused by the high old rip-roarious
ness of Old Boreal. This is a new idea. The
same line of reasoning would make the heat
insupportable on the summit of Pike's Peak.
On Saturday last two boys, aged respectful
ly about twelve years, were gathering coal on
the railroad near the coal wharf. After loading
up their sleds they entered upon the ice, on
the Mill race, and ventured too far out and
both went down and were drowned. The one
was Benjamin Snyder, son of Michael Snyder,
and the other
Garloch. They were buried on Sunday af
ternoon.
The 11. & B. T. R. R. Co. contemplate issu
ing excursion tickets from all stations on the
road to Huntingdon and return and probably
Bedford, all the coming summer. The object
is to throw more passenger traffic on the road,
and more business into the above named sta
tions. We trast that it will be so, and that
both the road, and the larger and smaller sta
tions on the line be benefitted thereby.—
Everett Press.
There appears to be nothing a man is so
sensitive about as the spelling of his name.—
He will spell it in the most outlandish manner,
violating every rule of orthography, but ti e
moment you fail to spell it as he does, though
you may exhaust all the known rules of or
thography, be gets as mad as a hornet. There
is old Eyler, just because we spelled his name
"Ile-r," and he had once dabbled in and sold
his neighbors worthless oil stocks, swears to
stop the oil on us and "put out our light."
The old fraud
Within the last two weeks we have added
at least twenty new subscribers to our list,
and "the cry is still they come." Send them
along. The JOURNAL, this week, commences
a weekly letter from New York, by D. R. Locke,
esq., ("Petroleum V. Nasby,") which will be
continued throughout the year. We will also
publish a weekly Harrisburg letter, giving a
summary of the legislative proceedings. We
will furnish more reading matter, during the
coming year, for the money, than any other
paper in the Juniata Valley. Send in your
subscriptions at once.
Court week brought a large number of our
country friends to see our trophies. We re
ceived many hearty congratulations. Truly
we did not realize before that we Lad so many
warm hearted friends in the county. We ap
preciate their kind wishes, and assure them
that while we control the JOI:RNAL, it will be
outspoken in defense of the right, let the
consequences be what they may. We shall
do our duty without fear, favor, or affection,
and our past course should be a sufficient
guarantee that we will do it well.
"Bob," who sends us items from Shirleys
burg under the date of the 17th, says : "The
Directors of the Poor made a hasty visit to the
Poor House, on Wednesday evening last,
coming down on the 6 o'clock, P. M. train and
leaving on the 9 o'clock train the next morn
ing. It is said their business was to reconsid
er the appointment of Steward and to re-in
state Logan, alleging that they had made a
bad selection and that they desired to mend
it by retaining Logan. Mr. Kyper, we under
stand, refuned to take any part in the matter
holding that it was not a legal meeting. Of
course the thing was all done in Huntingdon,
before they came down here, and the trip here
was only a blindfold ; and then, you know, it
pays to ride on the cars at the expense of the
county, and besides they could save a night's
bill in town, as we understand they were aud
iting the accounts for the last year. We un
derstand that the Gussites are very happyover
the result."
COURT PROCEEDINGS.—The following
cases were disposed of last week :
Commonwealth vs. George D. Metz. Indict
ment: Nuisance. Mr. Metz was returned at
August Sessions, 1873, by the constable of
Brady township, for having put obstructions
in a public road running past his farm in said
township. This farm had belonged to a Mr.
Ely, who also owned the one on the opposite
side of the road, the two farms then being one
tract of land, and, when sold by Mr. Ely, this
tract was divided into two farms, and the cen
tre of the road made the division line. The
road alluded to is a very old one, having been
used prior to 1832, as a road by common con
sent, and not being on record as a public road;
but in 1832 it was declared a public road by
proceedings in the proper Court, and its cour.
ses and distances put upon record. This road,
in making a curve, encroached a little upon
the land of Mr. Metz, who concluded, as far
mers often do, to better matters by straight
ening his line fence ; but in doing so he set
his fence, at this curve, in the middle of the
road and tried to move the road over to the
lower side of the old beaten track by filling
that side up with clay. The road was thus
made passable after the change, but seems to
have been less good than before. The trial of
Mr. Metz began ac noon on Monday, and ended
on Tuesday evening, being rather lengthy and
uninteresting. The jury found the defendant
guilty, as indicted. Sentence has not been
imposed; but Mr. Metz will probably find that
$3OO will pay for the information received by
him at this trial. Messrs. Woods and Musser
for Comth., Petriken for defendant.
Common Wealth vs. James Shafer. Indict
ment : Fornication and Bastardy. • The de
fendant had been arrested and lodged in jail
where he, for several weeks, patiently awaited
his trial to know from the jury whether he
was guilty or not of this charge. Information
had been returned by the constable of Jack
son township. The principal witness for the
Commonwealth was a Miss Dawalt. The de
fendant made rather a feeble defence, and as
circumstances were somewhat against him he
was promptly informed by the jury that he
was guilty. Influenced by this information
he turned his steps prisonward, where he ex
pects to hold forth for some time yet unless
he receives some friendly assistance. Musser
for Comth., R. A. Orbison for defendant.
Commonwealth vs. Edward Dalton, consta
ble of Carbon township. Indictment: Fail
ure to make return, as constable, at August
Sessions, 1813. Defendant's counsel moved
to quash the indictment, for reasons filed,
which motion was sustained by the Court, and
the indictment quashed. Rule on defendant
to show cause why he should not be proceed.
ed against for contempt, in notmaking his re
turn. Musser for Comth., Petriken tor de
fendant.
Commonwealth vs. Martin L. hex. Indict
ment: Perjury. Grand Jury returned : Not
a true bill, and the prosecutors, John Banks
and Wm. Patterson, to pay the costs of prose
cution, except the our dollars to the county.
Sentence accordingly. _
Commonwealth W. H. S. Ritts. Indictment :
Fornication and Bastardy. True bill, but
defendant not taken.
Commonwealth vs. Wm. Salyards. Indict
ment: Fornication and Bastardy. True bill,
and defendant not taken.
Commonwealth vs. Rebecca Gorsuch. In
dictment : Arson. Mrs. Gorsuch was charged
with having set fire to and burned the barn
of Andrew Decker, is Henderson township, on
the night of Oct. 18, 1873. The evidence on
the part of the prosecution was purely cir
cumstantial. It seems that owing to some
previous litigation between Andrew Decker
and Rebecca Gorsuch, in which the latter was
worsted and mulcted into considerable cost,
she had made various vague threats which,
after the burning of the barn, caused her to
be suspected as the incendiary. Upon exam
ination, footprints were found in the dust
which, being followed through many windings
and turnings, seemed to terminate at Mrs.
Gorsuch's door. The defendant . attempted to
show, by the several members of her family,
that as she had gone to bed in their presence,
slept in the same room with some of them,
she could not have gone out of her room with
out their knowledge. She therefore could not
have fired the barn, as her family had not
missed her from her room on the night of the
fire. The evidence seemed nearly equally
strong on the two sides, and it was doubtful
what the verdict of the jury would be. Had
not the prosecution found some difficulty in
making Mrs. Gorsuch's shoes fit the tracks in
the dust she would no doubt have been con
victed.' After an hour's deliberation the jury
returned with a verdict of not guilty. District
Attorney and Mr. Petrikin for Commonwealth,
and Messrs. Woods and P. M. and M. S. Lytle
for defense.
Commonwealth vs. J. P. Wilson. Indict
ment : Larceny. The:defendant was charged
with stealing a Spencer Rifle and a number of
articles of clothing, the property of S. R.
Pringle, of Cass township. Mr. Pringle. after
a few days absence, on returning home found
that his house had been entered and these
articles carried away. Wilson was arrested
and conveyed to jail, from whence he came
when summoned for trial. On entering the
bar the Court inquired if he bad Counsel ; the
answer being "No," the Court requested Mr.
P. M. Lytle to act as counsel for the defense.
The trial was short and at its close James had
no doubt, apparently, of his guilt. He expects
to come before the Court on Monday again,
for sentence, after which he , will, probably
visit Allegheny City on a somewhat prolonged
trip. Mr. Musser vice Mr. Madden for the
Commonwealth.
The next case was that of the Common
wealth vs. E. S. Jones. The defendant was
indicted for an assault and battery with intent
to commit a rape upon an old lady by the
name of Westbrook, who resides in Smithfield,
near which place the offense was charged to
have been committed. The testimony on part
of the Com., consisted principally of that of
Mrs. Westbrook and her husband. The de
fence had no witnesses except the defendant,
who, on examination,
admitted his being at
the place, but denied attempting a rape. The
defendant's counsel then proceeded to explain
to the jury that not the defendant, but certain
dogs who had behaved somewhat unmannerly
that morning, were the cause of this prosecu
tion—after which elaborate explanation the
jury found the defendant guilty of Assault
and Battery only. Mr. Musser for Common
wealth, and P. M. Lytle, esq., for the defence.
Commonwealth vs. L. Hatton, J. B. Frazier
and J. H. Cooper. Indictment: Gambling.
The defendants were called for trial, and, not
appearing, their recognizance was forfeited.
i.3ommOitwealth vs:Charles Grath. Indict
ment: Assault and Battery, with intent to
kill. District Attorney entered a nolle pros. on
payment of costs by the county.
Commonwealth vs. Jacob McCray. Indict
ment: Larceny. The defendant was charged
with having stolen a horse and sleigh from
George White,in Coalmont ; but as itappeared
on the trial that, being intoxicated, he had
taken the property rather from mischievous
motives than from any intention to appropriate
to his own use, the jury found him not guilty.
District Attorney for Commonwealth, and P.
M. Lytle, esq., for defendant.
Commonwealth vs. D. Green, David Weaver
and Wm. Weaver. Indictment: Burglary.
The case was compromised by the parties and
a nolle pros. entered.
Commonwealth vs. Luke Reiley. Indict
ment: Selling liquor without licence. Case
continued, on application of defendant, on ac
count of his illness, and he was ordered to
enter into recognizance for his appearance at
next Session. There are two prosecutions
against Mr. Reiley for similar offences, both
of which were continued, for the reason above
stated.
Commonwealth vs. Andrew Johnston. In
dictment : Selling liquor without license.
Defendant went before the Court, pleaded
guilty and submitted. Will be sentenced on
Monday.
Commonwealth vs. A. Frees, Jno. Carbaugh,

was continued until the present Sessions,
when the District Attorney entered a nolle
pros. on payment of the costs by the county.
Commonwealth ' vs. Francis Starr, Elias
Thomas, et al, Indictment: Forcible Entry.
The defendants were charged with having, by
force and with a stronghand, entered upon the
premises of one Wm. Patterson, in Union
twp., and torn down and hauled away his
house. The defendants pleaded not guilty,
but a jury was called who found them all
guilty except Robert Barton. They were then
sentenced to pay a fine of $2.50 each and to
jointly pay the cests. District Attorney and
Mr. Pettikin for Commonwealth, and Mr
Woods for the defense.
Commonwealth vs. James Eagan, Jno. Mc-
Intire & Patrick Dolan. Indictment: Assault
with intent to rob. Defendants not taken.
Commonwealth vs. Willliam Shehan. In
dictment : Assault and Battery with intent to
commit a rape. In the information - the de
fendant is charged with having broken into
the house of TimOthy Leary, in Carbon twp.,
on the night of November 26, 1873, and at
tempting to rape Mr. Leary's daughter, a child
nine years of age. A nolle pros. being entered

STAND FROM UNDER(—Henry & Co.
have just received their first lot of goods pur
chased for cash. The prices are creating a
sensation. Come on, ladies and gentlemen,
the change is real, and not fictitious. We can
stand the present seemingly ruinous prices
for cash, better than we could the old prices
on credit.
ExmosioN.—On the 15th inst., at
Morrisdale Mines, in Clearfield county, on the
arrival of engine No. 74, Penn'a. R. R., it ex
ploded with great force, scattering pieces in
every direction. Duke Cox, the engineer, and
Peter Braden, were both at the engine. The
latter, being in `the cab-box, was severely in
jured, but it is believed be will recover. Bra
den was thrown from the engine, and was
bruised, but not seriously. Mrs. Gort, the
wife of one of the miners, was injured by a
piece of pipe striking the window and knock
ing the glass into her face, injuring one of her
eyes. The house was about 200 yards from
the engine.
The store of the Morrisdale Coal Co. was
within fifty feet of the engine when it explo_
ded. Fortunately the force of the concussion
was downward or the building would have
been a wreck. All the windows in the store,
on two sides, were broken, both glass and
sash being destroyed.

a cumbersome cotton one.
CHRISTMAS POE3IS.—J. W. Welch's
little pamphlet, "Christmas Poems," has been
very well received by our neighbors. Here
is what some of them say about it :
"The poems are excellent."—Tyrone Demarrat.
"Poems of considerable merit."—Altoona Tribune.
“The poems are a fair sample of versification and some
of them develops true poetical thought."--1 /tonna Sun.
"The poems have considerable merit:'—lfolliclaysburg
Register.
- The poems are well written."—Raftsman's Journal.
Any person sending us 25 cents will receive
a copy by return of mail, or for GO cents we
will send "The Crowning Gift of Heaven" and
"Christmas Poems."
A KISSING SCENE —"Oh! kiss we and
go," said the maid of his heart, as she prof
fered her lips as his pay to depart ; “the morn
is approaching, my mother will know ; my
kindest and dearest, just kiss me and go I"
And the smack that he gave her was Carnation
loud, as they parted that morning at the steps
of the door, and soon the brave '•lovyer" was
lost in the crowd that was rushing pell mell
to Foster k Carmon's new Clothing Store, in
Broad Top corner, formerly occupied by 0.
Cunningham.
The oyster supper eaten by the Treasurers,
Commissioners and Auditors, at the Vicios,
last week, and announced in these colums,
was Silas A. Cresswell's initiation supper.
'•Site" had to come down, and "Tommy" got
the credit, but it is all right now. On Wed
nesday night last, A. K. Covert, esq., took the
chaps into the "Victor," and they made things
disappear at his expense. They all praised
Edwards' bivalves and get up. It.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,
IN ME SHANTY, AT THE NEW RAILROAD,
January 9th, 1874.
Maniere DURBORY :—Wid fear an thrimblin
I grasp me pen to let ye know that the latest
news from Huntingdon sheared me poor muse
until she fainted ; consequintly the great Irish
poet is forced to write a few lines of shtale
prose until the auld jails recovers. Shure,
Misther Parboil-, I thought it was dead ye
were afther the batin ye got from the b'ys and
garls. Troth its ycrsilf could endure a great
dale more kissin nor fightin fine thinkin. Och,
honie, what wud poor Dennis do if yersilf shud
be murthered by these brave sowljers wid
their great big pishtols shticken in their belts ?
And thin thim feurce lookin garbs wid their
shparklin eyes! Shore, if iver Old Dennis
gets in sich close proxemity to crinoline he'll
jist surrindher, and fall into line a prisoner,
to suparior arms. Shure ' lad, if the "Swate
Singer of Aria" had gev thim a shtrain ov his
silver-tongued muse, ye'd sane thim garls
wape like a sick alligator; but thin there are
very few swats Dennis O'ltafferty's in this
county. Now, whisper, Misther Durbory:—
Whin thim garbs take it into their heads to
take yer life agin, jist dhrop me a line, an if I
don't shmile on thim so swately that they
can't dhrame of anything but handsome min
for a fortnight, thin I'll niver ait another pra
tie as long as I haveplinty of other vegetables.
If thim little garbs would come to me shanty,
wid their cowhides an shootin irons, I'de kiss
the garls an Biddy would whip the b'ys in
three seconds. •
Misther Durbory, don't yez think that Mis
Cher Cuss ought to prache oftener than he
diz? Some say he ought to have his prache
tuk away, butt I think be ought to prache
harder than iver, or the divil's side will over
balance the other side. _ _
That Dutchman was sayin somethin about
thracks in the shnew from some house; if I
was Misther Cuss, shore I'de walk backwards.
But I hear me ould muse shqualin; I think she
is comin to hersilf again. She shpakes thusly
about the assassination :
The infant year but faintly threw
Her rays aerass the sanctum;
.In came a squad to raise a row
Because Joe D-had shpanked 'em.
The Wye were mad ; the gents looked pale,
But D. was firm as marble,
Though bravely swung the ox's tail
And fierce their anger bubbled.
But whin they found the fort was manned;
They thought they wouldn't whip 'em,
Lest Decker, whom they thought insane,
Right down the stairs might tip 'em.

FROM BARBER
BARREr,TOWNSIIIP, January 17, 1874,
Editor of the Touhard .7—The last dodge of
the Speerites was consummated on Monday
afternoon, of last week, when a. ticket was
placed in nomination, for the coming cam
paign, under the followingeircumstances, viz
They took Mr. Gilbert Horning by the ears
and made him agree to reconsider the appoint
ment of Jackson Harmon, esq., for Stewatl.
They agreed to pay his fare to Shirleysburg
and back, and that individual fell into line
and sneaked away, like a sheep dog, to carry
out a programme arranged between Speer and
Woods. That arrangement is about as fol
lows :
John Logan is to be the Steward. Then
the Woods and Speer tnen are jointly to sup
port the following :
IL M. Speer for Congress.
J. S. Miller for delegate to the State Con
vention.
Geo. M. Cresswell and Harrison Richardson
for Assembly.
Thos. Bell for Sheriff.
Jos. Smith for Commissioner
George Jackson fq„r Poor Director.
All the Democracy will have to do is to
come to town and ratify this ticket, the work
of their masters.
Has'nt Gilbert Horning made a pretty fist of
himself ? lam told he met one of his Demo
cratic constituents of Barree on his way home,
who had heard of Gilbert's disgracinghimself,
who said.
"Gilbert, what do you think that the Dem
ocrats of Barree will hate to say."
Gilbert quickly replied "they will have
enough to say, but what will I say 7"
The Democracy of Jackson and Barree are
disgraced, disgusted and outraged at this kind
of child's play: DEMOCRAT.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
A. B. BRUMBAUGH, M. D., Editor. All matter pertaining
to this department, should be addressed to P. O. Bon,
12, Huntingdon, Pa.
The Gilded Age is the expressive (?) title of a
new book, recently published, written conjointly
by that great humorist, "Mark Twain," (Samuel
L. Clemmens,) author of those popular books,
"Innocents Abroad" and "Roughing It," and
Charles Dudley Warner, the celebrated "Saunter
er," whose previously published books have given
him an enviable notoriety in this country and in
Europe. This book, which purports to be "A Tale
of To-Day," was written expressly to fit the times;
its satire and humor being directed with their full
force at the public topics, passions and follies of
the day—a satire on everything.
The work at this time is very seasonable and
will prove fascinating to all. It will afford an
opportunity for those who enjoy this kind of li er
ature, now so popular, to laugh at the "magnifi
cent speculations" of the enthusiastic Col. Sellers,
shout over the doings of worthy Senator Dills
worthy, and "go wild" over the haps and mishaps
of the corpsof engineers engaged in the laying out
of the "Salt Lick Branch of the Pacific R. R." It will
give many persons new views of Wall Street, of
Rail Road Bonds, Congressmen, and many other
persons and things of particular interest just now.
Most, if not all of the characters delineated are
with us to-day and may be recognized by the rea
der. The Agent for Huntingdon and vicinity has
his head quarters at the Post °lice. Call and see
the book and obtain a copy.
The Aldine.—A few years ago there was a pa
per started in New York city by the above name,
published quarterly, by James Sutton, as an in
surance advertising medium, at 50 etc a year.
Later the price was raised to $l.OO a year, and
still later to 52.50, and issued monthly. The be
ginning of 1872 the publishers determined to make
it the handsomest. periodical, of its kind, in
the world, and the price was raised to $5,00, and
we have now "The Aldine" with its full page, and
otherillustratiens, its engravings in tints, its beauti
ful typography on tinted paper, and its pair of
delightful Chromes for every subseriber, all exceed
ing in beauty every expectation of its friends.
Every cultivated American reader should feel
proud of such a superb national periodical. The
January number is a wonder of beauty, and a mar
velof literature. Tt contains four full page engrav
ings, besides a number of other illustrations, every
one of which is a gem in itself. No cultivated
American home should be without The Aldine.
Subscriptions taken at this office, $5.00 a year
with the two Chromos—"The White Mountains"
and "The Cliffs of Green River."

Beside our lovely dwelling;
Beneath the maple trees.

With harp end crown she's Ringing,

Bedim the mourner's eye,

We clip from the Prrbyterioa Or the lOth inst.. the Bil
lowing notice of the life and death of Alexander Blair,
of Tell townehip, Huntingdon county, written by his pas
tor, Rev. J. E. Kearns :
-- lialit.LDecember 16, 1873, after a protracted
Mr. A. C. Blair, aged sixty-four year, four months and
seventeen days. The deceased was a model citizen and a
true Christi., As a citizen, he was strictly honest an -,
truthful. In his dealings with his fellow man he al
ways acted with the integrity of one who expected to give
an account. Though reserved, he wits warm hearted and
kind. Ilia words were few and carefully chosen, and yet
he was not afraid to condemn the wrong or commend the
right. Ann christain, he Ana humble and unostentatious,
yet faithful and exemplary. Ire had a clear viers of the
plan of salvation, and a high appreciation of the doctrines
of grace. Ile attended upon the public means of grace with
marked regularity, even after his health began to decline.
He lived a life of faith in the Son of Cod, and his faith re
mained unshaken to the end of life. In 1851 he was chosen
and ordained a ruling elder of the Upper TuscaromPresby
timian church, which high trust he faithfully filled for
over 22 yearn. As nn officer, he was always at MS 1108 t ;
was exceedingly careful in his decieione, and charitable in
hie judgment. His seat in the Beni., as in the bottle of
Cod, was never vacant, unlees it was impossible for him to
be present. He stood firmly by the church, even in the
hour of her trial. Those who knew Mr. Blair best loved
him most, and they all testify to the purity of his charts
ter es a man and a christian. But his spirit has (town ,
and his holy lies in the tomb awaiting a glorious ream'
melon. We mourn his departure. and yet we rejoice that
he in not loaf, but only gone before—gone np higher
gone home .
