MONEY NEEDED BADLY!
Those Indebted to us for Subscrip
iion, Advertising and Job Work
will Please Pay Up !
We have not the money to run a busi
ness that costs from 64,000 to 55,000 a
sear without the assistance of those who
receive our stock in trade. Every man
oeght to think of this and pay up the little
that he owes. It may be only a little, but
when the fact is taken into consideration
that 1200 persons are indebted to us in
the county of Huntingdon, these small
sums aggregate a large amount of money.
We need this money badly to pay debts
and to enlarge our business. We appeal
to those who are indebted to us to come
forward and help us. We have a large
number of excellent patrons, who poy
promptly, of whom we have no desire to
complain, but there are those who say "I
only owe two or four dollars and I will
pay that the first time I go to Huntingdon,"
and they settle down under the impression
that it don't amount to much, but when
hundreds come to this conclusion it does
amount to considerable. We hope that
all those indebted to us will send it in the
first opportunity that is afforded. Court
week will be an excellent time. We do
not like to dun our friends, but there is
no other course left for us.
ACS' An epitaph for Guss : Here lies
the one-eyed Monster.
Ser G uss dies hard. Hydrophobia
would have been an easier death for the
beast.
W-• Guss robs himself of the mcst ap
propriate name he could have to exhibit
his malignity against Gen. Beath.
sa. We have the first person to see who
is willing to admit that he signed the Guss
resolutions, but all claim they signed a
petition to retain the school.
Guss tried, we are told, to fire up
his adherents to mob the Post-Office at
Cassville. Re has not 'fight" enough on
hands and he wants to try Uncle Sam.
sm. The Bill appropriating one million
of dollars to the Centennial passed the
House of Representatives of this state, on
the 9th inst. by a strict party vute. It es
now before the Governor.
um. "Jason" forgot to tell his auditors
how he suffered martyrdom for Guss when
some fellow, under cover of night, took him
for Gass, and knocked him down for in
sulting his sister.
tar The Governor and Prof: Wicker
sham have granted the Cassville soldiers'
orphans a furlough of two weeks to visit
their friends. This is a very sensible
movement.
em. The Governor has appointed lion.
John H. Orvis, who was dragooned by
Speer into making a minority report in the
GllBB case, an Additional Law Judge for
the Counties of Centre, Clinton, and Clear
field.
sou The Democrats carried the state of
Connecticut by an increased majority last
week. Both Houses of the Legislature
are Democratic which insures a Democrat
ic United States Senator in place of Buck
ingham.
gm. The management of the. Cassville
Soldiers' Orphans' School was the most
complete Sham known to this age. From
the sham watch, presented to "The Pro
fessor" to the sham indignation meeting
it has never varied.
igt.. "Jason's" severest assaults upon
his father were excluded from the Globe.
It was even too mush for Guss ! It must
have been very dis-gus-ting, indeed, when
this degenerate member of the brute crea
tion could not stomach it.
p A fire was started, by an incendia
ry, at 1 o'clock, on Sunday morning last,
in the planing mill of Brown, Early & Co.,
lumbermen, in Williamsport, Pa., which
consumed several mills and fourteen dwell
ing houses. Loss about $500,000.
/Mr "Jason" said that his father intro
duced him to Senator Anderson. This is
simply a mistake. lie did no such thing.
No one knows "Jason" better than his
father and he would not take the respon
sibility of introducing him to au gentle
man.
asi. When adisgusted Cassvillian want
ed to leave the Indignation meeting Guss
would request him, personally, to remain,
as they were not near through yet and it
might be the last chance they would have
to hear him. It was the last wag of the
hammer, no doubt.
j "Jason" gives us credit with wri
ting a communication in our paper of a
given date. Thankee, "Jason," we are
not the writer, but one who knows is, and
if we had assented he would have told a
few rough things at your expense, but we
desired to save you a fearful skinning.
THOSE RUMORS,
As A. L. Guss asserted thai, the charges
against him were n vcr hcarcl of until he
announced himself a candidate for Con
gress, at April Cotut, 1572, (his own
statement), we present the following edi
torial from the Bethlehem Daily Tii12 , 23,
which most conclusively disproves the
statements on that head by Guss.
He also tried" to convey the impression
that the charges originated with Gen.
Beath, and both his counsel asserted, in
the strongest terms, that the Grand Army
had nothing to do with the prosecution.—
All these lies are nailed by the Times :
EDITOR
"REV. MP.. Guys AND TILE CASSVILLE
SCIIOOL.—In the Fall of 1871, while a
member of J. K. Taylor Post, G. A. R.,
this place, was on a visit to the interior of
the State, he heard certain scandalous ru
mors against Rev. A. L. Cuss, Principal
of the Cassville (Huntingdon county, Pa)
Soldiers' Orphans' School, with reference
to his conduct towards the female portion
of the school. It was represented that he
had caused the ruin of one girl, and made
indecent advances and propositions to oth
ers, &c., &e., &c. The Comrade subse
quently received what he was led to be
lieve, was confirmatory proof, and, as he felt
in duty bound, brought the matter before
J. K. Taylor Post. The charges were
carefully considered by that body, and they
finally decided that the facts should be
laid before the Department Convention,
which met in Philadelphia within a few
weeks. This was done, as will be seen by
the following extract from the report of
the proceedings of the Convention.:
"Comrade C. 0. Ziegenfnss of Post 182
made a motion that a committee of three
be appointed to investigate the alleged
mismanagement of the Soldiers' Orphans'
School at Cassville.
Comrade Atkinson moved to amend that
the expenses of the committee be borne by
the Department. Adopted.
The motion as amended was adopted.
Comrade N. M. Smith moved that the
committee appointed to visit the Soldiers'
Orphans' School. be instructed to visit
the school at Phillipsburgh, Beaver coun
ty.
An amendment was then offered that
the committee be instructed to visit all the
schools.
Comrade 31eCcamick moved an amend
ment to the amendment, by adding any
schools against which charges may be made
to the Commander. Adopted.
The motion as amended was adopted."
[See Proceedings of Encampments, p.
120.] January 24, 1672.
In accordance with this resolution a Se
lect Committee was appointed to investi
gate the charges which J. K. Taylor Post
lay at the door of Mr. Gass. The Com_
miLtee worked hard and determinedly but
were blocked at every point by the refusal
of the various parties said to have knowl
edge of the facts to appear in Court, and
make affidavit to the same. The committee
had no authority in law to compel parties
to give evidence, and hence failed in mak
ing a case against Mr. Guss, though they
were not at all satisfied with his inno
cence. The Committee not being pble to
accomplish anything, Col. Robt. B. Beath
as Commander of the Grand Army, laid
the matter before His Excellency Gov.
Hartranft, requesting that some one should
be commissioned with full power to inves
tigate the matter. The result our readers
now know.
rel. Twenty-four thousand dollars is the
amount to be appropriated to the Normal
Schools of the State during the coming
year. Would it not be proper in this con
nection for the Legislature to ask that
these institutions be placed as far as prac
ticable under the care of professors and in
structors who are citizens of this State?
We do not see the propriety of Pennsyl
vanians spending their money in the em
ployment of talent from other States, when
hundreds of competent men can be found
within the bounds of this Commonwealth,
who would willingly assist in the instruct
ion of those who desire to become teachers..
We refer to this matter at this time, be
cause we think that is in the province of
the Legislature to so perfect the law, if it
needs it, that our own citizens may have
an opportunity of filling positions which
are now occupied by those who have no
claims upon our people.— Chambersburg
Rfpositoiy.
ler They canvassed five townships.
Union, Cass, Clay, -Tod and Carbon, and
four boroughs, Mapleton, Three Springs,
Broad Top City and Cassville to secure
the names attached to the resolutions pub
lished in the last Globe. A number of
the names are inserted twice while many
others are made up of boys whose ages
range from 9to 12 years and upwards. A
more glaring fraud has never been perpe
trated by Gum, and this means more than
most honest people would be willing to an
swer for. Nine-tenths did not really know
what they were signing. We see the
names of a number of our warmest and
mostearnest friends attached to them. No
body read the great string of resolutions
and they only learned their mistake when
they saw the Mtn.
re_ Did "Jason" tell the truth in his
speech, or did he tell it when he said he
knew enough about Guss to convict him
outside of any charges against him? Or,
when he said there were at one time, five
or six cases of the same character against
Guss, while he was teaching at the school,
and that it took all that lie and Guss could
both do to keep the complainants from
pros .
prosecuting ? or, when he said he knew
enough about Guss to sink him ? These
charges, "Jason," you know, were repfat
edly made by you to unimpeachable wit
nesses. Come, "Jason," disregard the
pincher and answer.
nirdi — We would suggest to some of our
contemporaries that the people of Cassville
and vicinity are not all so demoralized as
to place a less estimate upon the virtue of
the orphans than they do upon their po
litics or a little market, but there are
scores of honest people, in that neighbor
hood, who look with as much contempt
upon Gass and his conduct as any of their
critics, and who believe the rumors in cir
culation in regard to him implicitly, but,
escaping the witness stand, they escape the
tornado that is raging around the few who
had the moral courage to take the stand
on the side of right.
PAYENTTHUNDER AT CASSVILLE.
The observations of J. C. Clarkson, at
the Cas;ville meeting, got up by A. L.
Guss, are published iu the Globe, of last
week, with a great flourish. "Jaso:," seems
to have thought the show was gat up for
him. and not for the Professor. .He gives
a long account of his own misdoings, as if
that had anything to do with the guilt or
innocence of Cuss. Though his skeech is
bombastic to the 11..5c degree, yet his can
dor in admittin; himself guilty of all the
crimes ever laid to his charge, and a great
many more besides, is beyond all praise.
Of course the man who avows himself
guilty of almost every crime on the calen
dar, would naturally find a congenial friend
and companion in Guss, fall into his sup
port, and be ready at a moment's notice to
traduce and vilify his own father. J. C.
undertakes to explain why ha was not
called as a uitness in the Orphans'. School
investigation. The long and the short of
it seems to be that though he was subpoenaed
by both parties neither was willing to trust
him on the stand, and this being the case
it is hardly worth his while, at this late
day, to tell us what he knows about swear
ing.
This valiant champion grows classical
in the winding up of his discourse and in
terpolates a page or two from "Plutarch's
Lives." Jf be has taken Alcibiades for
his model lie has succeeded admirably in
imitating his vices without displaying a
single one of his virtues. J. C., like his
friend, the Professor, w:s once a preacher
of righteousness, but he preaches it no
more. Goodbye, "Jason." We never
wished you half the harm you have done
yourself by becoming the apologist and
champion of Gass.
Did John Myerly, esry., tell the
truth when he signed those resolutions, or
when he said he knew Guss was guilty in
the Pope case, as he had seen the said
Guss himself in a room, with a couple of
large girls chasing them around it and
kissing them and committing other impro
prieties, which convinced him of his guilt.
He will remember that he expressed his
surprise to "Jason," and that "Jason" re
plied that "that was a common thing."
ro = . Prof. Kendlehart and Mr. Harney
deserve all credit for their efforts to pre
vent the children running off en-masse on
account of the exaggerated stories spread
insiduously among them, and though the
latter could not go near the school on the
last day, because he sought to do his duty,
be will learn that the enmii.y of such a
man as Guss is much better than friend
ship.
Guss had to be begged for blank
ets to cover the children as they were be
ing conveyed away during the storm. Of
course he gave them but with a wry face,
as he had expected the children would
cling around him, and refuse to be torn
away from their "kind protector" but they
would'nt cling "worth a cent," but went
away singing as cheerily as though glad
to get away.
Se - All honor to the man who placed all
his straw at the disposal of Prof. Wicker
sham to keep the chiklren's feet warm,
though he knew he was running the risk
of the enmity of Guss.
Possibly those kind-hearted "friends of
the orphans," who refused to give or hire
their wagons for the IIFC of the children
have a clear concience in the matter
though it may be doubted.
sea : . A little boy, son of Mrs. Nancy
Diggins, attended the Guss indignation
meeting, and says that he never heard a
preacher swear like Guss did. The little
fellow said he was afraid that "Old Nick"
would come and carry them all of Guss
could very readily have been spared.
tier Does A. W. Evans, esq., tell the
truth now, or did be tell it when he said,
speaking of Gum' improprieties with his
female wards, "there is enough of that
kind of work up there (referring to the
school) to either blow up or smash up the
whole concern ?"

Boss Tweed's Troubles—Cremation—The Police
—Detectives and what they do Inflation
—Temperance—The Germans.
NEW YORK, April 15, 1874.
BOSS TWEED
Don't like his quarters at Blackwell's Island.
It was expected by the burley Boss, and his
friends, that the officials on the Island would
not dare to treat the great swindler as other
criminals were treated, but they were griev
ously mistaken. Boss was shaved, and crop
ped, and arrayed like Joseph in a coat of many
colors, with pants to match, and he was put
to just such service as he was fit to do. Con
sequently he has tired of it, and invokes the
law to get him out. He wants to go to Lud
low-at. Jail, where a mat may have as many
rooms and just such living as be chooses to
pay for. Judge Davis sentenced Tweed to
imprisonment in the "county jail" which he
corrected to "the penitentiary." The Boss's
counsel insist that he had no right to make
the correction, and that Ludlow-st jail is the
place where lie must be confined. They want
the Boss in quarters where he can reorganize
his court; where wine and wassail will be as
of yore, where be can bring together the scat
tered hosts of Tammany, and be once more
the dictator of New York Democracy. For af
ter all they miss the great organizing ability
he undoubtedly possesses. The Boss will get
out before long, entirely. Then look for a
ring that will be a ring.
CREMATION
There has been a society organized here for
the purpose of doing away with burying the
dead—burning the body instead. The mem
bers pledge themselves to be burned as fast as
they die, and, as if to show-the world the val
ue of the idea, one member died last Friday
and was burned: The coffin, we are told was
placed in au upright position inside a fire
proof receptacle, through which ariiacially
beat air was forced in a current, carrying all
the noxious gases up a chimney, and leaving
after the process a small residue of snow
white ashes only. The process sr:Ts completed
in twenty missiles, at a cost for fuel of $2.25.
The ashes were gathered and placed in an urn
in the parlor of the father of the deceased.—
Those who are urging it say that the cost of
disposing of remains is brought to a very small
point ; that the idea of consuming a body by
fire is not so repugnant as to put it into the
ground to decay; and that as cemeteries are
certain to be crowded, cremation is better on
sanitary grounds. The papers are all discuss
ing it. It will doubtless come into quite gen
eral use.
THE POLICE.
To keep such order as is kept in New Yotk
requires an army of policemen, to the number
of 2,500, which costs the city about $3,500.-
000 per annum. This includes only the regu
lar policemen. The
DETECTIVES
are a body by themselves, who, while they
are regularly appointed, get no pay from the
city, but from those for whom they work.—
These men seem to be a necessity, but it is
questionable whether they do not make more
crime than they suppress or prevent. The
first requisite is to know, personally, every
thief is the country, their peculiarities and
manner of work. We will suppose a bask has
been robbed and a detective sent for. He
loos 11,;; the work, notes bow the thief or
thieves got into the building, and how the
safe was operated on, and determines in his
miod exactly who did it. He recognizes his
work as accurately as a shoemaker would a
shoe he had made. Suppose bonds to the
amount of $50,000 have been taken. The
Bank ewers $lO,OOO ;or the recovery. The as
tute gentleman knows that "Jemmy Dawso-a"
"cracked the crib," and lie knows also that
the finding of Jemmy would be an impossibili
ty. Dot he knows Jemmy's woman, or one of
Jemmy's friends, and so in his good time he
informs Jemmy's woman that the recovery
of the bonds stolen cross the Bank, of so and
so is in his hands and waits. Presently Jem
my's woman enters into negotiations with him,
the bonds are returned, the Dank pays the
$lO,OOO, which the thief and detective divide,
and it is all over. There are very few arrests
and convictions of big thieves, for the reason
that the thief is necessary to the detective, and
the detective to the thief. They have a com
mon interist—in fact they work together. To
arrest a skillful, daring and industrious burg
lar would be to destroy his business. Another
use these men are put to is
S ADORING
suspected people. For instance, if a bank of
ficer or merchant suspects an employe of ap
propriating money, a detective is put upon his
track. Wherever be goes ; there will be be•
hind him a gentlemanly man, who never loses
sight of him. The number of times he goes
into drinking places the very liquot he
drinks, the kind of money he pays for it, the
the gambling places he goes into, ,and the
houses of ill fame he visas—all these are re
corded that it can all be brought home to him.
They never know they are being followed, for
the detective is too adroitfor that. The result
of his observations are given every morning to
his employers, who have no difficulty In coin
ing to very accurate conclusions. If the sus
pected man has a .salary of $5.000 per annum,
and no other resources, and if he is living at
the rate of $lO,OOO, they have no difficulty in
coming to the conclusion that be is stealing
from them $5,000 per year. And then, just
when be fancies be is all secure, he is taken
to task. Ile of course denies the charges, but
the detective, with his fatal book, catches
him, and he confesses his sins. tut these are
not the only use they are put to. If a woman
suspects her husband of unfaithfulness she re•
solves her doubts by the aid of these conven
ient persons, and vice versa. They are paid
high salaries, and may be of some use to the
community, but I doubt it. They make thiev•
ing a safe business, at all events.
The proposition to inflate the currency meets
with the most determined opposition in this
city. The press is howling against it, and the
citizens back the press. The Rearld holds
that inflation means repudiation and that if it
is persisted in, it will provoke a civil war.—
The fact is New York, having so much of the
wealth of the country, wants as little cut ren
cy as possible, for the less there is the more
secure her grasp upon the country. Then
again the purple-nosed old gentlemen who are
out of business, with a million or two, want
the purchasing power of the dollars they have
to be as great as possible. Their view of the
case is purely selfish. They do not take into
account the needs of the country. They want
to continue to bold in their own hands the fi
nancial destiny of the country ; to let on the
steam and turn it oil' just when the turning on
and cutting off will make the must power.—
The Herald's talk of trouble is all bosh. There
is a great amount of arrogant egotism in a great
city, but the city of New York knows very well
that while the country can get along very well
without New York, New York can't get on Gt
all without the country. The war between
the East and West which the Herald is trying
to force, would make New York a deserted
city in six months. The war with the South
illustrated this. The great trade—the trade
that had been courted—was the Southern. A
Southern merchant is made as much of as a
Barbary prince, while the western merchant
had no attention shown him whateve‘r. The
war broke out, and six months after thefi l t s.
ing upon Fort Sumter nine-tenths of all t e
houses in the Southern trade were bankrupt.
The Western trade is now the big trade, and
any interruption of relations would be fatal to
nine-tenths of the merchants and bankers.—
Whatever sections may get to warring with
each other, New York and the West will not
be the combatants.
TEMPERANCE.
conanues to be the absorbing topic in all the
churches, and it has got its grip on people
outside. Some thirty divisions of Sons of
Temperance have been organized in this city
within three weeks, and also a very large
number of other secret societies having the
same object in view. Cases of "swearing off"
are as thick as blackberries. Say what you
will about the work of the women in the West
it has had the effect of awakening the public
conscience to the evils of liquor drinking, and
has resulted in organization against it every
where. For the first time in this country, an
organization of Germans opposed to liquor
has been made. Some sixty Germans met
Friday night and agreed not only not to use
stimulating liquors themselves, but to labor
among their countrymen to change their prac
tices and opinions. And they are making
converts. A great many Germans have dis
covered that they can get on without wine or
beer, and that life is endurable without it.—
If the new idea gets a foothold among. the
Germans, it will be very near to the control
of the city. PIETRO.

Among the Hindoo Villages
BY REV. J. D. BROWN
INDIA, February 25, 1874,
While the general readers of the JOUVAL
are gathering around their stoves, listening to
the blustering winds of February, your cor
respondent is sitting in an open canvass tent,
at 8 o'clock at night, really enjoying a cool
breeze which has sprung up after a rather hot
day for this time of year. Your readers will
readily surmise that I am on a preaching tour
among the villages. My wife, sitting at the
other end of the camp table, inquires, "what
can you find here of sufficient interest to
write about? There are no temples, no
'ghats' sacred bathing places here" That is
all true. Nevertheless, I presume something
of our every-day life here among these poor,
ignorant, idol-worshiping villagers, will not
prove uninteresting to many who must see
these sights through the eyes of others.
DIRTY FAQIRS,
' , Cleanliness is next to Godliness," cries
the careful housewife, in your Western world,
as she rubs away vigorously at a grease spot
on her kitchen floor. Not so think some so
called holy men I found in one of the villages
I visited yesterday. In a little• mud-walled
hut, about six feet high, covered with straw,
sat two as dirty, filthy, half-naked creatures
as ever India can produce. Between them
was placed an earthen dish, which was filled
with ashes and burning cow-dung, the smoke
of which filled the hut, which had no outlet
but the doorway. To add to the smoke and
stench the Faqirs kept smoking the vilest of
tobacco in a long pipe, such as I had with roe
in America. While preaching to them and
the villagers who gathered around, I happened
to put my foot iuto the doorway of the hut.
Immediately one of the Faqirs, with a look of
contempt, ordered me to take my foot away
and not contaminate his house. These filthy
wretches can go into the private apartments
of the women a.id no one would dare to refuse
any demand they make. Many of their prac
tices are too filthy to put into print, and yet
these are the religious leaders of millions of
people in India. Very few of them can read
a. all, hence they are blind leaders of the
blind.
PARROTS,
Just in front of our tent is a field of ripen
ing whe.t. This afternoon we noticed a flock
of parrots, who had their headquarters among
the lealy branches of a large tree near at hand,
sweeping down every few minutes, when each
one would pluck off a head of wheat and fly
back to the tree, and to return for another in
less than two minutes. The natives have to
watch there fields night and day, from the
time the grain commences to ripen until it is
cut. If they do not, deer, wild hogs, monkeys
and parrots, etc., will leave them but little to
cut. And yet so superstitions are the poor
cultivators that they would not on any ac
count kill any of these destructive birds or
animals.
JUNGLE DOGS.
Every village is overrun with half-wild,
miserable dogs as lean and as ill-favored as
Pharaohs poor cows. The aversion to taking
life allows these public nuisances to live and
become so numerous that the canine popula
tion in a Hindoo village about equals that of
the human beings. In this hot country, dogs
often go mad, and many lives are sacrificed in
this way annually. The English Government
has determined to abate this evil to some ex--
teat at least ; hence, yesterday two low caste
men, armed with heavy bamboos, and bring
ing written instructions from the English
Magistrate at Bareilly, entered the village
near my tent, and commenced work in good
earnest. In a very short time nearly a score
of worthless, prowling curs were stretched
lifeless on the sand. They have but little
life at best, and one well-aimed blow from the
heavy bamboo generally suffices. The people
of the village are very indignant, but in these
times when great famine is stalking through
Bengal, and may reach this province, it is
poor policy to allow thousands of these utterly
worthless dogs to prowl about and steal, as
they often steal the scanty meal some poor
laborer has procured for himself and half
starved children.
A FIG. BTORY rote
Not only do tho animals I have mentioned
abonnd, but in the jungles in many parts of
India, Leopards, Tigers, and wild Elephants
are numerous, and Often do much mischief. A
few days ago, an English gentleman in con
nection with the irrigation canals, which the
government is opening in these provinces,
having his tents is the same grove in which
we ate stopping, called on us, and invite&us
to dine with him. We noticed that he was
lame, and that he gave us his left hand. In
the evening, lie told us how he had become a
cripple. Several years ago, while encampdd
near a village, the people came to him and
told him that a tiger, near at hand, would not
let anybody go near the stream for water. So
the gentleman, taking with him another En
glishman, started out to try to kill the tiger.
Usually they hunt tigea with elephants, but
these gentlemen having no elephant, rather
imprudently started on foot with their guns,
in search of the dangerous brute. The vil
lagers explained where they had seen him, but
for some time the hunters could not find him.
At last they came suddenly upon him, and
although both fired and hit him, wounding
him mortally as it proved, the enraged titer,
mad with pain, rushed upon our kind host,
and in a moment had him in his terrible jaws.
His onehand and his knee were so badly bitten
that he never recovered much use of either leg
or hand. His plucky companion rushed for
ward with his empty gun—having no time to
re-load—and succeeded in driving the tiger
off. By this time the shots had taken so much
effect that the tiger only ran a few yards,when
it fell dead.
Your readers will have seen some notice of
the famine in Bengal, which lies South of us.
It may be a word of explanation as to the
causes of these famines, which often nearly
depopulate whole districts, may help to a
better understanding of the matter. In most
of India the population is dense—often over
four hundred to the square mile, through an
entire province. The Mapes n.e wretchedly
poor, and with grain at ordinary prices they
can merely live on the coarsest of food-- earn
icg as they do about six cents per day. Should
the rainy season be too short, the crops fail ;
consequently grain goes up to double usual
prices, and the poor must starve. Railroads
are few in number here yet; hence, while
there may be plenty of grain in an adjoining
province, transporting it on carts of primitive
construction, costs so much that it is too ex
pensive for the starving poor. The English
Government is doing everything in its power
to save the lives of the people, and it is hoped
the loss of life will not be very great. "Relief
works," as they are called, such as new roads
and canals, are being opened, thus supplying
work to thousands. Besides this, contribu
tions from both natives and Europeans are
pouring in from all sides. Notwithstanding
all this, thousands will doubtless starve.
God can and will bring good out of this
seeming evil. Old idolators will die off, and
their children will be gathered into Christian
orphanage, where they will learn the way of
salvation. J. D. B.
Letter from Michigan.
ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, March 29, 1874.
EDITOR JOURNAL :—I presume it will inter
' est the readers of your paper to hear of the
temperance movement in the Nsrth.west.
have ofien wondered whether our city
would ever become obdurate to the pernicious
I influence of intemperence. The more I won
dered, and the more [ contemp:ated the la
mentable condition into which this prevail
ing evil has brought us, the more I became
convinced that every etort to ameliorate our
condition would prove fatal. Bat the power of
temperance, which has undergone so many
vicissitudes, has now reached a degree of con
centration,_ and vigor which will, doubtless, ef
fecha thorough reformation. The ladies of
our City are proving themselves to be intre
pid warriors. Their innate energy has been
thoroughly roused, and they are taking an
impulse from God to lay out their abilities in
purging the city of intemperance. Every day
they may be seen emerging from the different
churches and marching boldly into the saloons.
While there a few moments are employed in
earnest devotion, after which the saloonists
are urged to sign the pledge. Of course, many
ignore the iraportunites, but the greater num
ber are yielding. These noble women declare
they will not lay the armor down until the
work of faith is accomplished.
Last night, with undampened zeal, they
sang and prayed before a saloon 'till midnight,
the scene was profoundly impressive. The
saloonists are always on the alert, and fre
quently succeed in locking the doors of their
death dens before the ladies can enter. When
the ingress of the ladies is thus prevented,
chairs are brought, also refreshments, and
the seige commenced, frequently lasting al
most au entire day. Prayers and singing,
with some addresses to the crowd, occupy the
time of the besieging forces.
The ladies are determined to achieve the
victory, if it requires the greatest possible
sacrifice. One said, while speaking before a
saloon, that she would "stand where she was
all spring, through the summer and autumn,
and with buffalo robes around her in winter
before yielding to intemperance." I firmly
believe the crusaders will be successful in this
laudable enterprise.
Letter from Blair County.
BLAIR COUNTY, March 28, 1874
MR. Dermot:Row—Dear Sir :—Not being
concerned in the politics of your county, I
have not manifested much interest in your
excellent paper, but feeling that I, with every
good citizen of this commonwealth, are under
lasting obligation to you, for the course you
have taken in working up the Guss scandal,
and ousting one of the most out-landish im
posters ever palmed on any community, you
may send me your paper for one year, please
acknowledge receipt.
I do think the standard of morality is low
indeed in the region of Cassville to tolerate
such a beast among them—it has been ironi
cally said there are persons there, that for the
sake of the sale of a few pounds of butter, and
a dozen of eggs or sticks of candy, would see
ever orphan in the state prostituted and wink
at it.
Were there no other charges against him
the spirit in which he edits that slander ma
chine the Globe, should satisfy any rational
man he is not fit to have anything to do with
training the young. I should be sorry to have
any offspring of mine partake of his spirit, but
it is well known all the truth has not yet been
told. I used to think you called him hard
names, but now I think brute and beast mild
enough for a thing that has by his own acts,
placed himself beneath the brute creation, and
is it so that respeltable persons dare not take
the stand and testify the truth, or attorneys
attempt to discharge their duty in vindicating
the laws of the land, as well as the laws of
God, without being traduced through his
slander machine? Not one of whom does not
stand as far above him in character as man
does above the brute, if that must be tolerated
without redress certainly the new Constitution
and laws are at fault. All honor to Gen.
Beath, S. T. Brown, and Messrs. Doty and
Vanderslice, for the manner in which they
discharged their duty in the case. Many will
call them blessed for saving their children
from the disgrace to which they were exposed.
More anon. Respectfully yours,
A FRIENDS. THE ORPHANS.
Hack, Hack ! Cough, Cough !
Cough in a symptom by which various diseased condi
tions of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs manifest
themselves. But whether it arises from irritation pro
duced in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an
attack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption, or from
cartons other causes, nothing will allay it more speedily
nor cure it mnre permanently than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It does not matter whether it be a
recent attack, or a lingering cough, the Discovery in in
either case equally well adapted for its relief and perma
nent cure. In fact, it will cure a cough in one-half the
time necessary to cure it with any other medicine, and it
does it, not by drying it up, but by removing the cause,
subduing the irdtattdn, and healing the affected parts. No
time should be lust in commencing the use of a proper
medicine for the relief of a Cough, for unless this course
is pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the lunge is
liable to be the result.
DOCTORS SOON LEARN ITS VALDE.
Er!TALC, N. Y., Dec.l3, 1870.
Dr. Pierce—For the past tie months I have used your
Golden Medical Discovery in my practice, and In that
time I have tested its merits in severe coughs, both acute
and chronic, in chronic disease of the throat, severe cases
of bronchitis, general derangement of the system consti
pated condition of the bowel., .d wherever a uorough
alterative has been indicated. 111 all cases I h se found it
to act gently yet Thoroughly and effectually in removing
the various diseased conditions, and bringing about a
healthy action throughout the system. Yours fraternally,
