The Times says that W. A. Ingham and other
gentlemen connected with the East Broad Top

pleted.

Capt. Thomas S. Johnston "has it so in his

does in hobblitg about the house.
Miss Eliza Gibson, of whom we spoke in our
last issue, died on Tuesday morning of last
week and was buried at Bedford on Thursday.
She was in the 28th year of her age. She was
a most estimable young, lady, and leaves many
kind friends to mourn her untimely death.
Mr. T. Love, of West township, while
cutting wood at the wood bile, cut his foot
very severely. It is healing and doing very
well, but he regrets that he is missing all the
sales this spring. No doubt they do miss his
genial phiz and the auctioneer his frequent
winks.
Sales are very numerous this Spring, and
stock of all kinds bring high prices. At a sale ,
in West township, one day last week, ten
horses brought over $1,800; colts and cattle
about $700.00 or $BOO.OO. The sale amount
ed to near $3.000. Shaver's Creek Valley is
noted for good stock.
The Hollidaysburg Standard says : "We
are not sure that a good coal oil lamp is not
infinitely more convenient and less expensive
than such gas as is doled out.to the people of
Huntingdon." We are sorry our gas is not
better. We hope our gas men will give us a
better article. There is much complaint.
We expect, in our next issue, to lay before
our readers the report of the Committee on
the Orphan School Scandal. The Committee,
we are informed, will report in favor of the
removal of the school. This is all that comes
within their province. All further proceed
ings will be conducted in the Criminal Courts.
The debating societies of Shaver's Creek
Bridge still meet twice a week. One of them,
the "Young Men's Literary Club," is now en
gaged in getting up a programme for public
exhibition. We think they deserve praise and
encouragement in their endeavors for mutual
improvement, and bespeak for them a full
house and an appreciative audience.
Hon. Bruce Petriken, of Huntingdon, is nam
ed in Democratic circles as a candidate for
Governor or Lieutenant Governor, but his
chances for securinz the nomination for either
office are about as favorable as is the chance

lightning next Fourth of July.—Johnstoten TeL

The young men who wrote defamatory lan
guage on cards and strewed them about the
strr 2ts of Alexandria, with a view to injure
the character of some young ladies, ought to
be severely punished. Very nice work for
would-be young gentlemen Remember your
association, of itself, would be as much as
the character of any young lady could bear.
A look through the Car Works, in company
with Superintendent Orbison, on Friday last,
exhibited to us a perfect hive of industry.
About eighty hands bale been employed
during the last month. Large oil-tanks are
being built,. and old ones repaired, in large
numbers. " Such a clang, clash and roar"
would deafen almost anybody. It looks like
business truly in that quarter.
In the hardness of his heart, the editor of
the Lewistown Democrat, says : "The editor
of the Huntingdon .Tocaxit wants money ! He
says it requires money to keep a printing
office going! When four newspapers are pub
lished in a small town like Huntingdon, even
though it is backed up by n large county, we
don t wonder that the edi.ors need money. It
would not surprise us to learn before long
that some of them needed bread."
The argument of counsel before the Com
mittee to Investigate the charges of immoral
ity against A. L. Guss took place in the Sen
ate Chamber on Thursday last. The argu
ment was opened by E. S. Doty; esq., follow
ed by S. T. Brown, esq., for the prosecution
who were followed in turn by W. H. Woods,
esq., and R. Bruce Petrekin, esq., for the de
fence, and Mr. Vanderslice, of Philadelphia
closed for the prosecution. The chamber was
crowded.
We last week gave some statistics of the
consumption of Mann's Axe Factory in which
there were several errors. The following
statement is correct: iOO tons of iron; 120
of steel * : 500 of grind stones ; 500 of soft coal
and 1000 hard coal per annum. We stated
that Mr. Mann orriginally located at Johns
town, it should have been Bellefonte. They
ship axes to every State and Territory in the
Union, to British Columbia, Hawaiian Islands,
Australia, Vic., ke.
The following joke, which occurred in the
lower end of this county recently, is certainly
worth publishing : Two strangers met ; and,
by the way, they both stuttered badly. After
the usual salutation, the following conversa
tion ensued: One said to the other, "What
t t-t•time have?•ou T" The other replied,
"My t-t-t time aln't gain". The first said,
"Do-do-do-don't you mo-mo-mo-mock me,
or I-I 1-I'll 1-1-1-lick you like the d d-devil
The second one said, " The he-lie.he.liell you
will !" Just at this point the fight was com_
meucing, when some persons who understood
the joke, stepped up and explained the diffi
culty and made friends of the stutterers.
On Tuesday of last week, says the Lewis
town Democrat, "the Tanner's Mutual Fire
lnsuranle Company, of Pennsylvania," was
organized in this place. The Directors are :
Messrs. Wm. J. Robison, Wm. B. Leas, Sam%
Kurtz, Geo. B. Kerper, H. B. Bechtel, A. G.
Spanogle, Amos Hollinger, D. B. Spanogle,
A. J. North, John 11. Johnston, and J. A. Mc-
Kee. Wm. J. Robinson was elected President,
Wm. B. Leas Vice President, 11. H. Bechtel
Treasurer, John A. McKee Secretary, James
H. Parker General Agent, and Geo. B. Kerper,
A. J. Spanogle and Samuel Kurtz, Executive
Committee. The design of the company is to
insure tannery property throughout the State
The Central Office is to be in Lewistown.
The reason why everybody is seen going to
Henry & Co.'s is that they have just filled
their immense store, frcm cellar to garret,
with a fresh etock of desirable goods of every
description, which they are selling cheaper,
for cash, than the same article can be purcha
sed elsewhere in the county.
REVIVAL AT WARRIOR63IAItK.—The
labors, of a five weeks' revival of religion, in
the M. E. Church, at Warriorsmark, have just
closed.
The result, of this religious effort, has been
the happy conversion of about ninety (90) sin
ners, many of whom enjoyed a clear evidence
of their acceptance. Seventy-one (71) acces
sions have been made to the M. E. Church,
thus commencing a new journey in life, sup
ported by the fervent prayer of a faithful
membership, for their safe transit through the
ills and dangers of life.
The present season seems to he propitious
throughout the land for religious blessings,
and our little village has received its full pro
portion of the divine favor.
The necessity, for much preaching or ex
hortation, did not seem to exist ; but, a strong
conviction bad seized the consciences of the
community, impressing them with the great
necessity of changing from a sinful ton chris
tian course of life. CHEIL.
We chanced into Henry 4; Co.'s several
times, during the week, and found all hands
as busy as Rollers vending oat Dry Goods,
Groceries, Hats, Caps, Boots, Shoes, Lumber,
Iron and Nails, a complete assortment of
which they keep constantly on hand.

An incident somewhat divartin,
Jist now to me memory occurs;
Front truth it would not be departin
To wave the same tale into verse.
A lady and jintleman walkin',
Met Pat wid a dhrap in his eye;
Of "love in a cot" they were talkin'
Not Kadin' the Irishman nigh.
But Paddy persaved, very clearly,
The fatures of one who had thrown
Insult at tho gran° flag of Arin,
And ehpite in his flashin' eve shone.
Forninst the young couple so tinder,
About where the parties must pass.
Was sated a grave-lookin' gander,
Quite leisurely plucking the grass.
Thought Pat: "Be me sowl. jist rinder
To that chap his own and come more;
For shore its right well I remimber
The frazin insult that I bore."
Thin shtraitenin' up very proudly,
To the gander he made a great bow
And, shpakin* out plainly and loudly,
See. be: "Sir, an' how do ye do?
"Be jabers, I think ye are lonely—
I do not mane any abuse:
On this side I seo but you only,
The other one ehports a fine goose!'
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PENNSYL
VANIA RULROAD COMPANT.-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania
Railrond Company was held on Tuesday,
March 10, at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadel
phia. Promptly ut ten o'clock the secretary
commenced reading the annual report of the
Board of Managers, which corers operations
for the entire year 1873.
The revenues and expenses of the main line
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from all
sources were $24,886,008, against $15,440,-
305 expenses, leaving net earnings of $9,445,-
703. The net earnings of the same line in
1872 were $8,247,852, showing an increase of
net earnings of 1873 over 1872 of $1,197,851.
The total of passengers carried in 1873 was
5,879,684, against 5,250,393 in 1872, an in
crease of 629,291, or nearly 12 per cent. Of
freight there were carried 9,998,794 tons,
against 8,459,535 tons the yesr previous, show
ing an increase of 1,539,259 tons, or over 18
per cent. The actual costs of operating, ex
cluding branch lines, was 571 per cent.
The earnings of the United Railroads of
New Jersey and branches and of the'Philadel
phia and Trenton Railroad were $8,516,739;
expenses, $6,792,158; Jeaving net earnings of
$1,724,551. There was an increase in the
number of passengers carried of 422,248, and
in the amount of freight moved of 515,273 tons.
The operating expenses were slightly more
than 74 per cent. of the receipts. This large
perentage of expenses to receipts is attributed
to running too many passenger trains, therefore
these undue facilities have been reduced.
The earnings of the Philadelphia and Tren
ton Railroad and Branches, 38 miles, and the
United Railroads of New Jersey and branches,
238 miles, Belvidere Delaware Railroad, 68
miles, Flemington branch, 12 miles, and the
Delaware and Raritan Canal, 61 miles, inclu
ding feeder, in 1873, were : From United Rail
roads of New Jersey, $8,516,739; from Bel
videre Delaware Railroad and Flemington
branches, $1,148,222 ; and from Delaware and
Raritan Canal, $1,590,100, giving total earn
ings during 1873 of $11,255,062. The expen
ses of the several works enumerated were SS,
823,732, leaving as their net earnings $2,431,-
330, from which was paid in interest en bonds
$1,168,570, and in dividends to shareholders
$1,948,450, making the rental $3,117,020, thus
showing s loss to the Pennsylvania Railroad
on the New Jersey railroads and canals of
$685,689. Deducting this loss from the net
profits from the main line ($2,198,767) leaves
as surplus net profits on the whole line from
New York to Pittsburgh, after providing for a
ten per cent. dividend, payment of interest,
etc., of $1,513,077. Prom this time forth it is
expected by the Board of Managers that the
New Jersey liues'will show little, if any, work
ing loss, the expensive improvements made and
making to cheapen the moving and handling
of freight being nearly completed.
The total earnings of the Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad for the year 1873 were $3,842,-
067. The operating expenses were $3,413,-
310, showing a balance to the credit of the
Company of $428,756. The business of this
teased road makes a bad show—the traffic
shod•s a falling off, attributable fo the panic.
and the actual working expenses for 1873 were
88 6 14 per cent. of receipts.
The Company owns of coal land 28,050 acres,
lying in the Wilkesbarre, Hazleton, Shamokin
and Lykens Valley regions, purchased at a
cost of 53,857,573, and are now valued at slo,'
050,000. The total anthracite tonnage last
year on the Company's main line was 1,173,-
960 tons, and on its canals 1,542,125 tons.—
The bituminous tonnage in the same time was
3,353,541 tons.
The cause of the scrip dividend last fall is
explained, and the fact that $754,600 of the
amount has been redeemed, is announced, and
much of the remainder, it is expected, will be
absorbed in the payment of installments on
subscriptions to the stock.
The general account of the Treasurer's
statement shows a capital and debt in 1873 of
$140,725,637, being an increase over the total
of 1872 of $24,066,813—0f this increase $14,-
872,538 is in capital, $8,073,476 in bonded
debt, the remainder in bills payable, etc. The
report expresses unbroken confidence as to
the future value of the Company's property,
and though no reference was made as to the
probability of the next dividend, all the facts
and figures presented point to the usual divi
dend of 10 per cent. per annum.—Ledger.
AND STILL ANOTHER.—Dr. 11. A.
Miller and Rash Fisher, of Iluntingdon, pur
chased a very valuable tract of coal land, on
the Little Beaver run, from General Patton, of
Curwensville. They bought with the view of
immediately opening it, and going to work,
provided those pwning interests along said
stream will assist in building the road, but
can afford to leave it lay for two or three years,
provided they cannot get this assistance. We
congratulate Messrs. Miller and Fisher on their
purchase. There are not many such tracts
left in this section. We avill have more to say
on this subject again, but would like to see
those who are willing to loan assistance in
building the road up this stream, come to the
front, and make their intentions known, for
it is a little valley full of bright mineral pros
pects. From the way the coal lands have
been bought up within the last mouth or two
in this region we are lead to the co7triction
that there cannot be much left.—Osceola Rev—
eille.
A GRAND SUCCESS.—The Citizens of
Corinne, Utah, are feeling jubilant over the
success of the Grand Gift Concert recently in
augurated in that city for the benefit of their
free school. The day of drawing approaches,
t he demand for tickets increases, and there is
no doubt that the Concert will take place as
advertised. All who desire to invest had bet
ter do so at once and secure a chance of draw
ing $50,000 on an investment of $l.OO. Full
particulars will be found in another column.
We have an eighty dollar Sewing Machine
that we will give to any young lady who will
raise us eighty new subscribers that will pay
within the year at the rate of $2 per subscriber,
Here is a chance. This ought to be done in
two or three townships we can name, without
much effort. tf.
