The travel on the East Broad Top Railroad
is on the increase, owing to, a great extent, to
the popularity of the Conductor and train

lucky bit in the selection of pier to run the

THE TRIAL OF MARKSMANSHIP—A
Field Day for the Sporting Fraternity—Hun
tingdon versus Blair—The Mother County Beats
Her Only Child—Five Hundred Dollars Change
Hands.—For several days past a challenge has
appeared in the columns of the Morning Tribune
attached to which was the name of Mr. John
Law, of Hollidaysburg, inviting to a trial of
markmanship any resident of Cambria, Clear
field, Centre, Huntingdon or Bedford counties
with Mr. D. M. McCartney, of Logan township,
Blair county for a purse of from one hundred
to five hundred dollars or any sum to make
the contest interesting. It was not long until
the challenge so boldly hearlded abroad by
the friends of Mr. McCartney was accepted by
a crack marksman of Huntingdon in the per
son of Wro. P. Conrad. The preliminaries
having all been arranged, the time forthe con
test to take place was yesterday morning on
the grounds of the Central Pennsylvania Ag
ricultural Society, near this city. Early in
the morning the sporting fraternity of the city
and of the county capital were on the qui vivo
preparatory to the hour fixed for the match to
begin—twelve o'clock noon—the Exchange
hotel being headquarters.
It was agreed upon that the contest should
be for a purse of one hundred dollars a side
and the championship of the five counties
named. Distance 100 yards, 20 shots offhand.
At the appointed hour the friends of both par
ties arrived on the ground and the distance
was measured immediately thereafter. It was a
terrible day for a trial of marksmanship but
yet both parties labored andel the same dis
advantages. The ground was covered with
snow to the depth of several inches, the wind
blowing a perfect hurricane and howling with
the voice of a lion, while at,the same timelift-
ing up dense masses of snow and madly driv
ing it into the faces of all present, yet the ex
citement attendant upon the occasion was so
intense that every one seemed wholly indiffer
ent to the howling winds and stinging cold.
In the original match of twenty shots Con
rad succeeded in scoring a string of 62 inches,
and McCartney a string of 88 inches, conse
quently it was decided in favor of the former.
Prior to the commencement of the contest the
side betting was decidedly lively, it being es
timated that fully five hundred dollars chang
ed hands on the result. A resident of Holli
daysburg, named Kellerman, lost twenty dol
tars on the first shots fired by either marks
man, having made a wager with Mr. Conrad
that Mr. McCartney would make the best show
ing on the first shot. Immediately thereafter
Mr. K. and Mr. Law had some important bu
siness elsewhere which would not admit of
postponement. They forgot to return.
After the first match had been concluded a
second was arranged for a purse of fifty dol
lars a side, ten shots each, between the same
parties, in which their skill as marksmen was
exhibited to better advantage. This match
was also won by Mr. Conrad, who made a
string of but 12i inches to that of 30 inches
by Mr. McCartney. While we regret the de
feat of Mr. McCartney, the champion marks
man of Blair and Cambria counties, due credit
must be given Mr. Conrad, of Huntingdon,
who is one of the coolest shootists that ever
pulled a trigger. The hest of order was main
tained during the progress of the match by the
large crowd in attendance. Col. John Woods,
of the Exchange Hotel, was selected as stake
holder, and upon the return home of the par
ty in the evening, promptly handed over the
money.—Altoona Tribune of the 10th.

Curiosity, of course, led us to open the box,
and to examine its contents. In it we found
quite a variety of dry goods, groceries, fruit,
beef-steak, fowls, eggs, butter, salt, sugar,,
shoe blacking, &c., he., and also an envelope
containing a portly-looking old greenback'
whose friendly greetings would doubtless
cause sunshine in any poor family. A note
found in the box contained something like the
following remarks: " From the members of
tlie Eva, Loth. Congregation of Petersburg,
and 'Outsiders.'" This last word I could not
fully comprehend, but I came to this conclu
sion : that if by it was meant such persons
as are not in connection with the Christian
Church, that men of such open hands and
benevolent souls should, by all means, be
identified with the people of God.

MANN'S AXE FACTORY.—A correspon
dent gives us the following facts in regard to
this establishment: "This Factory is located
six miles North of Lewistown, in Mifflin county,
Pennsylvania. The business of manufacturing
axes was commenced at the present location
by Mr. William Mann, in 1835. Mr. Mann was
born in Johnstown, Montgomery county, N. Y.
He and his brother Harvey first started a fac
tory in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in the year
1829. The business not proving satisfactory,
William pulled up stakes and went to Mauch
Chunk, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, and
went into business at that point, but in the
Winter of 1833, his works froze up and he be
came discouraged, sold out and came to Mifflin
county in 1835. Here he started at the pres
ent location known all over the world as
Mann's Axe Factory. He then worked two
hands and carried his steel upon his back from
Lewistown. They now employ 150 hands,
and manufacture, on an average, 800 axes per
day. The following statistics show the an

THE GOLDEN WEDDING of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Porter was celebrated in Alex
andria, Pa., 'on last Monday, the 2nd inst.—
The meeting of old friends, the pleasant rem
iniscences of fifty years ago, the anecdotes of
the merry olden time, as they sat around the
hospitable board, groaning under its weight
of dainties, will doubtless long be remember
ed by the guests. There were but few of those
present who had attended the wedding when
the bride andgroom were young and bony. All
their children, of whom there arc six, were
there, except one, who resid:s at too great a
distance to be present at this delightful meet
ing.
It is about three years since we recorded
the golden wedding of John Porter, esq., eld
er brother of Mr. Charles Porter. These two
brothers married daughters of the late Con
rad Booher, esq., and have lived side by side
for half a century, and it must be regarded by
all as a most remarjtable occurrence that both
these gentlemen have been 'permitted to cele
brate their golden weddings. We hope there
are yet many happy years in store for them.—

NARROW ESCAPES FROM DRATIL—The
carpenters are at work at the Acqueduct below
town, repairing the bottom, by putting in new
timbers. The distance down to the water in
the river is 34 feet, and the depth of water is
some 14 feet. One day last week, while at
work, Mr. Samuel llanawal missed his footing,
and as Ile was falling over the side, lie was
caught by two of the workmen, or he would
have fallen a distance of 34 feet into the ricer.
A day or two after, Mr. George Ilommon
missed his footing and fell down through the
works into the river, striking the water with
his shoulder ; when he rose to the surface he
swam to one of the piers and held to it, until
a rope was lowered and put around his body,
when he was drawn up safely. When he was
safely landed, he was so exhausted that he
could not stand up.—ift. Union Times.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,
PROM SHADE GAP.
SHADE GAP, March 16th, 1874
MR. DURBORROW :--I see it stated in the
Monitor, under the head of "Shade Gap Locals,"
that a proposition to buy Milnwood Academy
a-d place it under the control of the Central
Penna. Conference of the g. E. Church was
rejected by the owners of said institution on
denominational grounds. "Jonquil" made
this statement under a misapprehension of
the facts, yet, we doubt not, with honest in
tentions. An offer was made to rent the buil
dings, by a minister of the M. E. Church, who
intended to conduct the school on his own ac
count. As soon as it became known, certain
chronic meddlers managed to stir up a sectarian
feeling and it was at once announced that
the school would open in the Spring under
the superyision of its present owners. It is
to be hoped something will happen to restore
Milnwood to her old standard of excellency.
It is our earnest wish that she may grow and
prosper in spite of denominational jealousies
or the efforts of her pseudo friends to cripple
her,
In the Globe of two or three weeks ago, in
an article signed "M. W.," an attempt is made
to annihilate "Melancthon." Extraneous im
pressions sometimes produce conditions of
mental phenomena on certain casts of mind, at
once wonderful and amusing. An honorable
mention in public print or cny event however
trifling that gives distinction to the name of
the individual destroys his or hermental equi
librium. lam informed for instance that M.
W. went into exstacies on seeing his initials
in printed letters in the JOURNAL. What
prevented his joy being most complete was
the mistake of the printer in putting M. in
stead of B. for B. NV. are the true initials. A
medical friend tells me of a case of a young
man, (who resembled B. W. before he went
West) whose !allure to obtain a No. 5 certifi
cate two years ago, from the County Superin
tendeaS., went almost to the extent of inducing
"extraordinary visual hallucinations," which
condition was followed by a state of mental
perturbation from which he has never fully
recovered. B. W. has one advantage over
many other literary celebrities. llis produc

and godly deportment and of whom. it can be

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
HUNTINGDON, PA., March 14, 1874.
MR. EDITOR-Dear Sir:—The new Constitu
tion has been in operation but a few months,
and while the new order of things inaugurated
by it may at first seem strange and a little
awkward, yet in these few months we have
been enabled to see many of the excellencies
of its provisions. It may not be congenial to
the politicians, rings and monopolies that op-
posed it, yet it is fast gaining in favor with
the great mass of honest, hard-working peo
ple that, by their votes, adopted it ; and they
should not consider that their work of reform
was finished when the new Constitution was
adopted. They should see to it that the offi
ces provided for by it are not monopolized by
greedy politicians and ring masters, but have
them filled by honest, upright and capable
men, who will endeavor to carry out its pro
visions in good faith.
The most important office created by the
new Constitution is that of Lieutenant Gov
ernor. This is an important office, and the
time is fast approaching when it will he ne
cessary for the Republican party to put in no
mination its candidate for the position. Sev
eral persons have already been named in this
connection. Among the most prominent of
these is Gen. John Patton, of Clearfield coun
ty. We have the honer of being personally
acquainted with Gen. Patton, and know of no
one possessing better qualifications fur the
position. Ile is emphatically a man of the
people ; a man of decided ability and unsul
lied integrity ; a gentleman in the truest sense
of the word. A thorough parliamentarian,
possessing in a high degree that promptness
of decision and general fairness essential in a
successful presiding officer. The General is
very popular at home and a general favorite
wherever known.
In 1860 Gen. Patton was the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Old Nineteenth
District, which at that time was considered
doubtful. The contest was a lively one but
the General came off victorious, not only car
rying the District by 1,580 over his opponent,
but having a majority in his own county, one
of the strongest democratic counties in the
State, running 600 votes ahead of Andrew G.
Curtis, who was the Republican candidate
for Governor at the same time. s a member
of the Thirty-Seventh Congress he acquitted
himself with great credit to himself and in a
manner highly acceptable to his constituents,
being known as one of the most energetic and
efficient members of the House.
It is highly necessary for the success of the
tidket that there be a good man put at the
head of it. We do not want a professional
politician whose record is black with politi
cal crimes, but we want one that is honest,
upright and incorruptible, fearless to do right
at all times and under all circumstances.—
Just such a man is Gen. Patton. He has no
political crimes to. answer for. His public
record is fair and unsullied as his private
character is spotless and pure, and we trust
when the State convention meets for the pur
pose of making a nomination, his claim will
receive due consideration.
