Go to the JOURNAL office for cheap envelopes • Bedford county's latest sensation is a bauni el bridge. That moustache Les gone where the wood• bine twineth. Dunham, of the Altoona Sun, has been of the sick list. E verybody praises the illustrated sale bills executed at the JoraskL job rooms. The crossing. at the corner of Fourth and Mifflin streets, is a disgrace to the town. Schwartz, of the Standard, is playing Deputy Prothonotary vice John R. Bohn. quite ill. Oar "devils" seem to have an epidemic among them—it is properly called laziness. Our marksmen are practicing for the tour. uament which comes off is this place, on nexi Monday, There were several sleighing parties during the last week, and all "went merry as a mar riage bell." Hon. R. Bruce Petriken is mentioned as the possible candidate of the Democracy for Gov ernor next fall. We Eaw a mere youth, on Thursday last, pass our office so drunk that he could hardly travel. Shame ! The report ot the investikttion, in the Mt. Union Times, was characterirtie. "Oh good Lord 1 oh good deril 1" Brother Cornman has employed several young ladies to work in his composing room. This is an excellent idea. There were seventeen immersions, by the Rev. Mr. Bunter, of the Bapt'st Church, in this place, on last Sunday. A car lead of Indians passed through this place, over th 2 Pennsylvania railroad, on Wednesday last, westward bound. We are printing a large number of sale bills for the spring sales. Bring them along. We are prepared to do themat short notice. A German, whose name is unknown, fell from the Cincinnati express east, on Saturday evening, at Mifflin, and was instantly killed. The residence of James Dean, at Punxsu tawney, Jefferson county, was recently pilfer el of sixty-two pies and a bushel of doughnuts. West township has a debating society in successful operation this winter. It meets every Monday night, and is largely attended. Our friend, Col. i. 11. Rawlins, of Hollidays burg, is a candidate for one of the next Re publican Assembly nominations. May be win. W. If. 11. Young, esq., of Tyrone, will be a candidate for the office of District Attorney, before tha next Republican County Conven tion. A crossing should be' put down on Eighth street leading to Henry g Co.'s store, and the bridge across' Fishers' dam should be mask more secure. A man named Showalter, of this place, was severely injured, by a sock falling upon him, in one of the Warrior Ridge stone quarries, one day last week. There are about 7,000 tons of coal, at the coal wharf of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in this place. Additions are made at the rate of twenty cars per day. Gum boasts that he is going to call at least 247 witnesses. Give him rope enough and he will bang himself. The fellow is really as mad as a March hare. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the house of Re presentatives w•as obliged to collar Guss and his attorney, at Spruce Creek. The way of the transgressor is hard. John S. Burger, of South Woodbary town ship, Bedford county, is one of the men who understands raising clover seed. Bin last year's crop was 120 bushels. A few nights ago a young man named Baker, formerly of Hollidaysburg, was found dead beside the track of the Counellswille Railroad, near Connellsville. Two bruisers, named respectively Burke and Smith, fought a prize fight at Sonman, Cambria county, on Tuesday of last week.— The former was declared the victor. Mr. William Livingston, of West township, while engaged in loading stone spoon wagon, bad one of his legs badly crushed and an ark broken, by a large stone falling upon him. Mr. Petriken wants to be a candidate for Governor. After his fierce assaults upon the Soldiers' Orphans, in defence of Gass, he will po doubt he very popular with the soldiers ! Mrs. Hiram Rhodes, of West Huntingdon, a most estimable lady, died very suddenly on Thursday last. She leaves five children and a kind and affectionate husband to mourn her loss. It is rumored that the Globe is going to change hands. The fellow who was going to make it hot for everybody has burnt himself. There is not so much fun in it after all, eh? Bah 1 John A. Pollock, esq., of West Huntingdon, talks of locating in Downingtown, twenty miles west of Philadelphia. We would be very sorry to lose him—he is an excellent mechanic. Samuel Seylar, well known in the criminal courts of Fulton and Franklin counties, and some time ago pardoned by Gov. Geary for horse stealing, is again in Chambersburg jail for horse stealing. Our genial and talented young townsman, Frank Higgins, esq., has fully recovered from his late illness, and is again engaged on the Pittsburgh Commercial. We shall drop in when we come that way. A couple of the first shad of the season found their way to our table through the kindness of our friend Harry Fisher, of the "Gem," and they were superb. He sells them every Wednesday and friday mornings. Tile Silby chaps have hung out their bills for the evenings of the 19th, 20th and 21st inst. They will "cut the pigeon wing," on these occasions, to the satisfaction of every body, and for the benefit of the Ladies' Relief Society. Quite a number of the witnesses for the peo ple, in the investigation case, were tampered with in one way or another. Some were offered money to stay away. Fortunately there is a statute, upon this subject, that is available. The number of Our Fireside Friend ; for Jan uary 3d, 1874, commences the fifth volume. It is a superb number of twelve large pages, finely illustrated, with a tint cover. Sent free to any address by the publishers, Waters fi Co., Chicago. A desperate effort was made, during the sitting of the Committee here, to create the impression that the whole matter was only a political persecution. Suppose some wealthy man's daughter htid been treated like the daughters of these poor widows. The scoun drel would have been swung up to the first lamp-post. The Democrats are welcome to all the capital they can make out of this kind of thing. The Philipsburg Journal says it is now cer tain that the Moshanuon branch of the Ty rone & Clearfield R. R. will be extended, how far, depends upon the liberality of property owners and lessees of lands along the line of •the projected extension. The sub-Committee will sit this evening, in Harrisburg, to hear further testimony on the part of the people. Testimony is coining for ward daily and hourly. There has never been, in the history of immorality, such a systema tized debauchery of the young. Our friend Daniel Ryper, of Oneida town ship, is the owner of an old ram, who has the reputation of being the champion buttist, at least that is the opinion of quite a number who have recently interviewed him, and for whom he has "gone" with a vengeance. Our judicial district will probably remain as it is—Blair, Cambria abd Huntingdon—and all because the members of the bar desire it, for fear that any one of them may, lose the services of one of the ablest and purest judges in the State; and the people second the law yers.—Johratown Pribune. One morning last week fifteen employees of the Johnstown Iron Works were burned by the breaking of the handle of a large pot con taining *molten metal, spilling the contents and more or less burning those around. Three of the unfortunate men are very seriously in jured, and the other twelve slightly. The root of one of the coal mines at Lloyd's station, on the Bell's*Gap Railroad, fell in with a frightful crash, on Friday morning, and pinned three miners to the bottom of the mine, two of whom, Harry Fos and George Sheltzbarger, were very seriously injured, one of them having both legs broken near the hips, and one of his ankles crushed. A distinguished and sagacious wholesale merchant of New York recently remarked : "I watch the papers of the locality of my cus tomers, and when I find one who is too stingy to advertise, or if be has withdrawn • his ad vertisement, I immediately close my account with him. The man who can't appreciate the benefit of advertising, will never make a suc cessful merchant, and is unsafe to trust." 0. 13. MeCrum, of Huntingdon county, we understand, recently bought the John Strong property, near the three-locks, including the mill, store-lmilding, and farm, f0r.54,800, and intends putting all three in vigorous opera tion, besides, mining iron ore on the lands of John Kintzer and Joseph Ruble. The work in the mines has already commenced, and the store will be opened shortly.—Lewistown Dem ocrat. Mts. Bettie Johnston, of West Huntingdon, one day last week, placed amass of taffy in the lower part of her stove to warm, and went away ; in the meantime acme one noticed that it was getting boiling hot, and removed it to a table. Mrs. Johnston coming in and think ing it was only slightly hot, run her both hands into it to work it, and was severely burned. The taffy adhered to her hands, and she bad "just more than a sweet time of it." A fellow named .Tacob Steilly, who created `quite a sensation, a year or two ago, as the happy recipient of quite a fortune in this county, while confined in a western prison, tried a second sensation on last Saturday night. He wrote letters to several parties stating that he was going to jump from Stone Creek Bridge, and drown himsed on the night inquestion. He didn't jump a bit, however. The ice may have deterred him, which was very unfortunate, consequently he took the Pacific west and left for parts unknown. "The citizens of Huntingdon need a good general newspaper, and just as soon as they say "go" we are ready to supply the want. What shall we call it ?" So says the Pilgrim. If the people of Huntingdon do, friends, they know where they can get reprints of dailies, once a week, for less money, and in better shape, than you can put up anything of the kind in West Huntingdon. By the way, have you made any money that you want to spend upon a venture of this kind? If you have, we know of no better way of getting rid of it.— We would suggest "Slow Coach," or "Dead Head," as a very zppropriate name. DEATH OF COL. JOHN MCKEAOE.— With feelings akin to sorrow and sadness we announce the death of Col. John McKeage, which occurred at his re3idetaee in Hollidays burg yesterday. Although the death . of Mr. McKeage has beet expected for some days past, there are but few, if. any, of his many friends and acquaintances who will not learn of the sad event with feelings of the deepest sorrow. A braver soldier than Col. McKeage never lived, his whole life being devoted to the service of his country when its institutions were assailed by armed hosts. At an early age he enlisted his every energy in the war with Mexico, becoming a member of Co. I. Voltigeurs, and serving faithfully du ring that historic struggle. Returning home at the close of the Mexican war and entering pon a peacefulbusiness life, he was eminent ly successful until the breaking out of the re bellion, at which time he was filling the office of Treasurer of Blair county. Leaving home and friends once more he en• tered the three months' service as First Lieu tenant in Co. A. Third Reg., P. V., serving his country faithfully for the term of his en listment. A short time subsequent to his honorable discharge from the three months' service, he entered the nine months' service as Captain of Co. b. 125th P. V., serving his country with honor. He returned home once more, but only to remain a short time, as it was not long until he again enlisted in the war for the Union for a period of three years. This time be entered the service of the Government as Captain of Co. E. 184th P. V., and soon thereafter, for deeds of daring and bravery, was commission ed as Colonel. On the 22d of June, 1864, he was taken prisoner at Cold Harbor along with Capt. H. B. Huff and Lieut. Harry Bryan (since dead) both of this city. He was held as a prisoner for a period of nine months, being first taken to Richmond, Va., thence to Danville, thence to Macon, Georgia, thence to Charleston, South Carolina, thence to Savannah, Georgia, thence to Columbia, S. C., thence to Charlotte, N. C., where he made his escape along with Messrs. Buff and Bryan. The party traveled afoot for thirteen days and nights when they were recaptured at Fayetteville, N. C., on the Cape Fear river, and were taken back to Lib by prison. After being compelled to undergo the frightful hardships in Libby for a period of three weeks they were exchanged at Aker's Lauding in March, 1865, and returned to their homes to receive a welcome which they could never forget. After his return home he was elected Sheriff of Blair county which position he filled with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the people of the county. Early in life Col. Slclieage evinced a great liking in military Wain, and when not en gaged in active sei vice in defense of his coun try he was ever to be found, until late years, at the head and front of the militia.—Alloona Tribune. SALE BILLS.—The sale bill season will soon open, and we would remind our readers that we have the largest assortment of display type and cuts in the county, and one 01 the best job printers in the State.

Yours, Fraternally, DENNIS O'RAFFERTY, Esp. A SEVERE ACCIDENT—Engine Over an Embankment—Two Persons Seriously Injur ed.—About 11 n'clbck ou Friday last, on the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, two miles south of Hopewell, engineer John Westbrook, running engine No. 18, coming north with Cumberland coal, discovered a stone about twice the size of a man's hat, upon the track, but not in time to stop tne train, which threw the engine from the track down an embank ment some twelve feet. W. W. Coller, the Master Mechanic of the road, was on the engine at the t.me, and had his right leg broken three times below the knee. Westbrook, the en gineer, received a severe flesh wound caused by a splinter running through his thigh. The fireman and brakeman jumped and the for mer got off with a sprained ankle, while the latter escaped without hart. The accident could not have been avoided. The stone was embedded between the tiesand being of a hard nature refused to yield. The injured persons are doing well A CARD.—In the history of the lives of the ministers of the Gospel, whilst there are many things to sadden his heart, there are also many things to encourage him in his labors, and are pleasant to reflect upon; and one of these pleasing things is the surprise that his members and friends give him when, with loaded wagons or sleds, they drive up to his door and show that they appreciate his ser vices by filling his larder with the substantial things of this life. We were thus kindly re membered, by our McConnellstown friends, on last Thursday, for which we return them our sincere thanks, and pray that the Father of all mercies may abundantly bless them for their kindness. A. G. D. A FORTUNE FOR ONE DOLLAR.—A dollar is never missed, some say. We go still further and say, not when it is invested in such a manner as may result to the benefit of the person investing it. For such a chance see the advertisement of the First Great Salt Lake Gift Concert to be held at Corinne, Utah, on March 31st, 1874, at which will be elven away 52,934 efts amounting to $226,500, the prizes ranging from $l.OO to $50,000; and it only takes a dollar to secure a chance, or six for five dollars. Here is an opportunity sel• dom offered.

EDITOR :--The attention of the tax-pay ers and voters of this Borough is called to the important fact that it has no Auditors now, and has not had any within the last decade. The General Borough Law of 1851 authorized the election of "Borough Auditor annually, to serve for three years." This is the law of this Borough now and has been for many years, although the "powers that he" ignore it; and the public notice Which is now out, emanat ing from these officials, omits Auditors from . . is list of offizers to be' elected on the 17th inst. Why is this so? It is asserted by setne that the public debt of the Borough of Hun tingdon is not less than $20,000. It is assert ed further that the authorities themselves do not know the extent of the debt, nor what be comes of the heavy taxes which are annually collected. We do not know bow these things ale, but we do know that the tax-payers have a right to know what becomes of their money —that they want to know, and that they now have an opportunity to know, if they elect Auditors to settle and adjust the borough ac counts, and have the settlement published an nually. The Republicans of the Borough intend to elect three auditors next Tuesday to fill all the vacancies, and have nominated Win. A Flem ing, esq., to serve for three years, Jos. G, Isen berg, for two years, and Alexander Elliott for one year, so that there may be a full board of Auditors to audit and settle the public ac counts from this time forward at least. Let every oue be sure to rote for Auditors, Inet, sent to g 31arket iu 1873. • Name of Operator. ... 10,3923,' , ti 8.9090 I 6 48,6761 7,084 , 4 I 33 8 '.:941 56 ~. 0 4,16 9,139 - 14 Wbitehead & Cu. rind S Bradley. :Jacob Bacon... . 2),046% . 13,218 . 19,577041 5.3 . 4.356 16 . 11,T51% 35 12 210 .1 4;.:2-PV 45. 51 , 1 29 1... 2,741 34 25 1 9,144 1 425 1 360 24634 622 and hereafter there will be a wholesome check upon the expenditure of the moneys collected from the tax-payers of the Borough.

His health has been good so far this winter, with the excep tion of a little rheumatism. There is not so much bustle in our town since the work has been stopped at the furnaces. If the company had known that the winter would have kept so fair, the work would not have been stopped at all. The panic has hal little or no effect on this company, and it is expected that the work will be started up early in the Spring. The grading of the E. B. T. It. R. will be completed from this place to the tunnel on Sideling Hill by the first, or middle of March. The bridges arc now all built over the creeks from this place to Three Springs, and it is thought that the cars will run to that place by the last of April next. Nothing of special interest has occurred in our town since I wrote you last. We still have au occasional "knock down," and our full share of drunken men, and we would just say here to any man who intends coming to this place to live, that it might be well for him to take lessons on boxing first, for his own personal safety. Grandfather says he would stop very little and take lessons on boxing himself, old as he is, that he might walk along our streets more safely. But there is a reason for this fighting, Mr. Editor. We have a few men along this line of the E. B. T. IL. R. who have been making a business of selling whis key, in defiance of the Local Option act, and have tried to make this law odious in the sight of the people in order to affect its repeal this. winter. Ido believe that many young men iu this part of the county have I,e - en ru hued by these wicked men, in this way. Ru ined for timeand perhaps for eternity. Grand father says the judgment day only will tell how much evilthese lawless, wicked men have done, Good people look on, not with the hope that these men will ever repent, but merely won der bow long yet it will take them to fill up the measure of their iniquity. it is hoped that every good citizen in our county will be active in opposing the repeal of the Local Option act. Whiskey men are active, and unless a desperate effort be made by the friends of temperance, its repeal may be af fected a 9 f 7 f 11 ii E i i.. 4. El . ..< . Well, Mr. Editor, 1 see from the last issue of the JOURNAL, that that "Whited Sepulchre," A. L. Guss, who, for a time, stole the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in, has been com pletely unmasked by the Committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate the charges against him. We are pleased to know that this monster of iniquity has thus been stopped in his career of crime. And we feel sorry that lie was permitted to hold the position be did so long. And we do say, no odds how dis graceful his conduct has been towards those helpless orphans, no disgrace whaterir should be attached to them, placed as they were, ' where it was impossible for them to protect themselves. They should be pittied and res• petted. Let the disgrace all rest on the one who tried to destroy their characters, and upon those who should have moved them out of his hands, and did not do it. Grandfather thinks that Mr. Wickershatn is to blame in this matter. Ile acknowledges himself that soon after this Cassville Orphan School came under his care, complaints were made from different quarters against its Principal, A. L. Gnss, and that those complains were constantly increasing, and he further states that lie had been trying for a long time to find out whether those charges were true or not, and so far had utterly failed to make any dis coveries. Grandfather thinks Mr. Wickersham acted in this matter a little like the lazy man who went out to hunt work. He asked every man he met for employment, while he silently prayed that he might not get it. We fear that Mr. Wickersham oily tried to find out the truth of those charges, thong's Guss cringing. underlings, where it would be impossible to find out anything against him. How logg did it take this Committee to find out the truth of some of these charges 7 Grandfather feels thank ful that he cut loose from Gass, when he did,• and saved his credit. He says that the very class of men who have supported and defended Guss in our county, during the past year, should be sufficient proof of hii guilt without anything more. Some of our citizens might. feel ashamed ; perhaps they do. Grandfather says, Mr. Editor, that he feels thankful to you for the part you have taken to bring this bad man to justice.

The Morning Star ; or, Wayside Musings, and other Poems, by William Newton, Rector of the Chruch of the Nativity, Philadelphia. (Claxton, Remsen Raffelfinger,Philadelphia.) Prieesi.so, $2.50 and $4.50. Of all the books that hare been published, and are still being published, there is, perhaps, not a single one that does not find its particular niche, in the great public mind, where it can nestle and exert its quiet influence, according as the spirit of the book may be, for good or for evil. Many books live, and are handed down to posterity from age to age, and are always fresh, while others are short lived. Some die as soon as issued, and exert very little influence; still, there are many issued that it were better that it could have been raid of them, they died in their inception. No author has a right to afflict the reading public, with a book, written merely for his amusement, or to employ leisure hours, as the results of such employment, are often worse than the mischief resulting from idleness. The principal poem, in the book before us, is divided into three cant., "God's Great De 'sign," "The Unfolding," and "The Result," writ ten in blank see'c, somewhat after the style of "Yesterday, To-Day and Forever." It is charac terised by great earnestness, and considerable del icacy of thought, but, it lacks strength; and, it is not really poetry, but a dignified sod of prose ar ranged in blank verse; however, it will be admired by a great many people, who will read it with pleasure and profit. Some of the miscellaneous poems, which comprise about one-third of the book are very beautiful and deserve to lire. "A Parable" about the sun and the violet has some lines of exceedingly delicate beauty. "An Autumn Rambler," is also quite fine. The author is very extravagant in the use of capital letters. The book is beautifully printed on heavy tinted paper, aed handsomely bound. 1-: HUNTINGDON MARKETS. Corrected Weekly by Henry a Co ilurrmuote, Pe., February 17, 1874.
