PECKSNIFFIAN
The Local News thinks we should ex
plain why we refer to ourself in connec
tion with the passage of the special print
ing act for this county. We will do this,
and, while our hand is in, we will mention
some other things that this little contro
versy suggests. We referred to ourself
because the editor of the Local News re
peated, time and again, that the special act
was passed in 1871, instead oflB7o, there
by creating the impression, repeatedly
mentioned to us, that we had secured its
adoption on our coming into the county in
the latter year. If the gentleman did not
wish to convey this impression lie could,
very easily, have exonerated us, but hay
lug failed to do so, we were obliged to
speak in our own defence. We hope the
explanation so far is satisfactory. As to
our opposition to the provisions of the bill
—that is neither here nor there. We
have never been ungentlemanly enough,
nor selfish enough, to do that which would
injure our neighbor, fur the express pur
pose of injuring him, theref 're, we left the
matter with the people.
The position of the News in this matter
is certainly open to severe criticism. It
occupies the position, to some extent, of
an interloper, and, to be pointed, we regard
all this outcry about printing as supremely
Peck sn iffian .
When we came into the county in the
winter of 1870 1 we were obliged to be
come responsible for a large sum of money
to purchase the Republican, and merge it
with the Journal and ./Inzerican. and to
equip the JOURNAL office for a larger pa
per. We incurred an indebtedness, in
dividually and jointly with our partner, of
about $6,500, making with the Journal and
American, a total of almost $lO,OOO in
vested. We had promised the gentle
men, who were instrumental in inducing
us to cast our lot amongst Huntingdon
county politicians, that we would establish
a first class county newspaper, one that
would be a credit to the town and the
party. We left no stone unturned to do
this. The Globe and Monitor, stimulated
by our example, incurred great expense,—
expense which subsequently bore down the
editor of the latter,—and rivaled us. We
had proceeded but a short distance before
we were satisfied that there was not suf
ficent patronage in the county to support
three papers of the dimensions of the Mon
itor, Globe and JOURNAL, without great
efforts on our part and a bountiful supply
of partizan patronage. We strained every
nerve, however, for support. We de
termined to procure first class job hands
at first class wages, so that none of our
people would find it necessary to go from
home to get their printing done, A great
many appreciated our efforts, and others,
who might have been quite a spoke in our
wheel, did not. Well, after all this out
lay on our part and the part of our neigh•
hors, and the establishment of three local
newspapers that would do credit to any
county, with twice the population of Hun
tingdon, the editor of the Local News de
termines to push, to force, a new paper into
the newspaporial field to the great injury
of each of the other three that had so lav
ishly spent their money to give the people
ofthe county creditable newspapers. There
never was a*worse case of bad faith—not
only on the part of the editor,—but on the
part of those who encouraged it. The
former was in a measure bound by every
sense of manliness and decency to observe
good faith with the purchaser of the Globe,
if he did not consider himsalf' under any
obligations to the publishers of the Monitor
and JOURNAL. But if the establishment
of the Local News was a violation of the
usual courtesies and proprieties between
gentleman the mode adopted was doubly
reprehensible. The price was established
at just one-half that charged by the other
papers and the advertising a few
cents per line less, so that it would be
brought into competion. Having estab
lished a paper that was uncalled for, and
having - thereby jeopardized, by dividing
the patronage, the money invested by his
neighbors, he now turns about and en
deavors to ruin them by having the re
mainder of the patronage legislated out of
existence. We admit that all branches of
trade are open to cornpetion, and we are
willing to take our chance, but we have
no toleration for the man who will push
himself in where he is not needed, by
trampling down others, and when he does
make a landing makes use of his position
to crush out his rivals. This is the posi
tion of the Local News towards some, or
all, of the three leading papers to-day.—
Every dollar of patronage that it has, leg
itimately belongs to those who were induced
to invest their money here in good faith,
and its efforts to destroy them is as su
premely selfish as anything we have wit
nessed or read in many years.
We have said here publicly what has
been hundreds of times repeated privately,
not that we have ought against Mr. Lind
say or his enterprise,—because we have al
ways treated him as a gentleman,—but be
cause his sweeping assault upon the little
patronage of the three papers. which he
has done so much to embarrass, is the en
kindest cut of all.

NEW HAMPSHIRE !
THE STATE GONE REPUBLICAN.
Gain of Over 2,000 on the Right Side.
CONCORD, N. H., March 14.—Little or
no excitement prevails at the various vot
ing places. The vote up to noon has been
unusually large, and the Republicans have
made an increase over last year. They
will doubtless gain between 100 and 200
over last year's vote. In the central wards,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh, a count
was made at noon, which gave on the
State ticket 780 for Cheney, the Republi
can candidate for Governor, and 380 for
Marcy, the Democratic candidate. George
E. Todd, the Republican candidate for
State Senator in District' No. 4 is running
considerably ahead of his ticket in this city.
CoNcottn, March 14.—Returns from
sixty-nine towns and wards give Cheney
11,931, Marcy 10,57?, Kendall and Scat
tering 92. In 1875 the same towns and
wards give the Republicans 11,462, Dem
ocrats 10,791, Prohibition, &c., 175. Re
publican net gain this year, 671. Esti
mated returns from 103 towns show that
the Republicans are still gaining.
BOSTON, March 14.—A Concord spe
cial to the Post (Dem. ) concedes a Re
publican victory in New Hampshire. A
majority in both branches of the Legisla
ture and the e'ection of Cheney by the
people by a small majority; but, as was
the case last year, later returns may ma
terially affect the results. One hundred
and sixty-six towns and wards gave Che
ney 27,739, Marcy (Democratic) 25,224,
Kendall and scattering 254. The same re
turns last year gave the Republicans 26,-
583, Democrats 25,963, and scattering
477 ; Republican net gain 2,118.
BOSTON, March 14.—Returns from sev
enty four towns of New Hampshire show
Republican gains.
THE election in New Hampshire has
gone all right. The Republicans have
made handsome gains. This is the first
important gun for 1876. The ball is now
in motion, and will continue until the close
of the polls on the 7th of November next.
TIIE Democrats have so badly managed
the Belknap tusiness that, in all probabil
ity, nothing will come of it. They suc
ceeded in interesting the country for some
thing like nine days and now they are,
apparently, only too anxious to cover the
whole affair up, We pity the party that
is so unfortunate in its leadership.
IT is now thotight Richard H. Dana,
jr., will not be confirmed as Minister to
England, it being charged against him
that he was guilty of perjury and literary
piracy. Ben. Butler is reported to have
taken up his quarters in Washington, to
do all he can against Dana's confirmation,
for the reason that Dana opposed Butler's
election to Congress in 1869, after Butler
had received the nomination.
Kentucky Flesh Shower.
THE FLESH DECLARED TO BE DEAD SPAWN
OF FROGS
LOUISVILLE, March 11.—Dr. J. Law
rence Smith, scientist, to whom was given
the specimens of flesh, has furnished the
following report of his analysis :
"•I have examined the specimens of mat.
ter that were sent to me from Bath county
as baying fallen from a clear sky. in a
limited space, in the neighborhood of Mud
lick Springs. The pieces recieved by me
had been placed in alcohol, and they had
evidently shrunk considerably from their
original bulk. The four pieces furnished
me by Captain Brent, of Mount Sterling.
and Mr, Madden, of the Courier-Journal,
were from one-half to an inch in size ;
they had the appearance of dried gelatin.
ous matter of irregular shape and were
more or less colored. Filaments were at•
tached to the exterior. Under a feeble
magnifying power the edges were translu
cent; when heated in water the pieces be
came enlarged and more translucent. The
dried pieces when cut across showed on
the exterior a soft gelatinous substance
without any fibrous structure. Under the
microscope the parts that had dried show
ed a filamentous structure. The dried
pieces when placed on a flame, burned
readily with the strong and well known
smell of animal matter. The peices were
examined carefully under the microscope,
but there was not the slightest indication
of any muscular fiber or other structure
belonging to what is known as animal tis
sue. In my mind this matter gives every
indication of being the dead spawn of the
batrachian reptile, doubtless that of the
frog. It has been transported from the
ponds and swampy grounds by currents of
wind, and has ultimately fallen on the spot
where it was found.
"This is no isolated occurrence of the
kind, I having come across the mention of
several previous instances in the course of
my reading. The only one I can now fix
the date of is recorded by Muschubroeck
and occured in Ireland in 1675. The mat
ter is described by him as very gelatinous
and fatty and softed when held in the hand,
or emited an unpleasant odor when expos
ed to the action of the fire,
"The ovum or egg of the batraehian
reptiles is a round mass of transparent jelly,
in the center of which appears a small
black globule. In the pesent case the pas
sage through the air would have dried up,
more or less, the gelatinous mass, so that
the exterior would have become hard and
the interior, as I found it, still soft and
gelatinous. As regards the quantity sup
posed to have fallen there is doubtless con
siderable exaggeration, for the singularity
of this phenomenon would doubtless have
such a startling effect on the Jninds of the
witnesses as to cause them to magnify the
number. I have desired more of the mat
ter to be sent to me, when, if there is any
modification of these views, I will make
them known.
[Si g ned] "J. LAWRENCE SMITII,
Considerable oxcitement exists among
the people generally concerning this affair,
and it will be hard to convince the coun
try people, who witnessed this phenomenon
of Professor Smith's theory.
The Unity of the Republican Party,
The objection to last fill's convention, is
that it wsis "set up" job ; and in our
opinion, these objections, to a reasonable
extent, are tenable. When yi, , u hold a
convention that must nominate a friend of
Woods, Scott, Orlady, Guss or somebody
else, there will be no union 40ause the
people, having no axes to grind, will not
support a ticket of this kind. If tins) par
ties are to successfully nominate the candi
dates, why go through the fortnality of
convention ? But, how else can we get at
the matter ? I'Ve answer : let the two chair
men join in a call for a convention, having
two delegates from each borough and town
ship in the county, regardless of party
faction ; letting the moral fitness of the
candidates for delegates be the only question
considered.
When this convention meets lot the two
chairmen resign, recommending, or ap
pointing a man to fill their place until the
convention is permanently organized. This
man should be one who is not identified
with either clique—for instance Mr. Bow-
man of the Mt. Union Times. Then let
this convention go to work, regardless of
outside influence or party factions, giving
us honest, capable men and thepeople will
elect them.— The Mountain Voice, Publish

WHETHER THEY ARE
Jews or Gentiles,
Christians or Moslems,
Brahamists or Worshippers of us,
Is not the question in these hart
times, hut
Are lay sex Chu Goois?
and this everybody, who has tried,
and has a spark of common sense
about him, MUST admit, even our
heathen friend of the Gentile stan
dard.
We, as business men, consider it
mere cowardice to draw religious
topics into business questions, and
with sensible people will avail noth
ing. If our heathen friend would
have only taken in considertion that
"A Dollar Sand, is a Dollar Earned,"
especially in times when a man
cannot earn a great deal, and save
all he can, he would easily compre-
hend why our
Storeroom is Crowded,
and his—void of customers. We
pity the man to the fullest extent
of our ability, but are unable to
help him, if he cannot help himself.
If, in these hard times, an oppor
tunity is offered to the public
To buy Goods for less
money than ererbefore.
of con rse ereiwbod y in
embrace it.
The enlightened people in the
present age, cannot be talked out
of common sense and reason by a
few merchants who have well
shown the material they are made
of by asking
Exorbitant Prices,
when they had the opportunity.
without any compensation of their
conscience. So do not listen ye en
lightened people of this county, to
the sayings of these men who have.
when opportunity offered, fleeced
you constantly, with an endurance
worthy of a better cause.
See to your interest ye people of
Huntingdon and County, and come
at once and buy what you need.
as we cannot stay here but a
FEW WEEKS MORE.
The merchants having made it
impossible for us to rent our pres
ent store-room, and we are unable
to rent another.
This alone should glee you
suffieient eridence how much
they like iss; for whieh they
certainly hare sufficient cause.
Show them your intelligence, ye
people of Huntingdon and County.
and convince them that the 19th
Century is too far advanced in age
for one class of people to impose
upon the balance with impunity.
Show them that you resent their
action, and also show that you
appreciate our presence, by call
ing at once and looking at our stock.
Our Rules Are
Ist. One price only,
to everybody.
2d. Goods exchang
ed at any time, if not
cut.
3d. Money return
ed upon application.
This shows sufficiently that we
are not like others who try to get
the advantage of a customer, as it
would avail us little because we re
turn the money whenever demand
ed from us.
Convince yourselves of
the above by calling at
once at
