Elisha Shoemaker, esq., one of our most enterprising citizens, a leading farmer of the county, died at his residence in Oneida town ship on Friday night last, and was buried in the Huntingdon Cemetery on Sunday after noon, followed by a large concourse of friends who highly loved and esteemed him. The old locust tree, in front of Coldstocks' residence, at the corner of Fifth and Washing ton streets, was cut down, on Monday morn ing last, after having withstood the storms of half a century.

Thus one by one our active, leading, thinking peo ple, desert us to better their condition. Hope Peter's int , ntions may be fully realized. The Baptist Congregation have determined not to build on the old site after all. They wanted a few feet of additional ground but this could not be had and they have pur chased a site on the corner of Sixth and Mifflin streets. The old church will he used for IVorship during the building of the new church, and then it will, very likely, be trans ferred to some other congregation. The loca tion of the new church is one of the best in town. It will front sixty feet on sixth and extend back seventy-five on Mifflin. We are glad to bear that it was not the General Printing Bill that the Local News has been fighting.(?) It don't like to be caught in the act of killing a dead sarpient, but there is uo escape. The editor has been repeatedly caught ; with cudgel in hand, banging away at it. We really wonder whether he know , what he has been drivelling at for months.— One thing we do know, his eyes have been sadly strained, and great streams of saliva have poured from the corners of his mouth, while gazing at a very clever lot of sour grapes. Some people do not think it worth while to advertise in their local papers, but it is barely possible that they make a mistake. For in stance there is a nursery in or near Hunting don from which a gentlemen owning property in town desires to purchase some tress. His agent has called at our office several times and examined nearly all of the Huntingdon papers in the vain search for the address of the nurseryman. If be purchases his trees elsewhere whose fault is it ? The same thing occurred last week, regarding a legal firm in Bellefonte, for whose address a man examined Centre county papers fruitlessly.

This singular lack has been made apparent more than ever before by the completiOn of the first Centennial of .American Itidepetolence. Every citizen has been made to feel that, by Lis great event, iateltigsnee and patriotism both eat; for a thorouzh knowledge of the his ?cry. as l e;r;:ially the early history, of our great qiunonwealth Dr. M. tletnan Avell known in literary cireles as an ceomplished scholar and writer of some celeb rity, has undertaken to meet this demand, and to fill this vacant place in our literature. He has devoted several years to this labor, and his publishers, Messrs. D. C. Goodrich 6; Co., elso of Harrisburg, now offer to the people of Pennsylvania the only work that has ever been written that contains both a complete history of the Scale, and a history of each county separat2ly—the whole brought down to the present year 1876. Each county history has been carefully revised by some prominent citizen of that county. kept ywi can I::tre pick and To stun up briefly, the following character iAties will distinguish the "Nero History of Pennsylvania." I. It will be complete. Beginning with the discovery of the Delaware river ; and the early settlements of the Swedes and Dutch, it car ries the reader through all the great and im portant events that took place during the pro vincial and colonial governments, with a cy clopedia of the legislation during the adminis tration of each of the Governors ; including also a separate history and description of each county in the State. 11. It will be authority as a book of reference. As far as possible every fact will be traced back to the original authorities and every date will be carefully verified. Side and foot notes, tables, and full indexes, will give every facility for reference and consultation. 111. It will be profusely and elegantly illus trated. No State In the Union presents a great er variety of beautiful scenery than can be found within the limits of the Keystone State, Tile most eminent artists of this country have been engaged to represent the scenes and places of note and interest, views of all the principle cities, portraits of all the Governors, numerous historical scenes, battles, etc., etc., which have been produced in the highest style of the engraver's art. Each subject has been assigned to the one who could render it most picturesquely, accurately and effectively. Al together, the illustrations will form a com plete panorama of the entire State, as each county will be represented by illustrations. The work will be complete in one Royal Octavo volume (extra large size), containing between 1000 and 1100 pages, in long primer type, printed upon superfine calcndered and toned paper, bound in the highest style of American workman ship, and will be embel lished with abou t 300 engravings, a very large share of which will be elegant full page ones. The publishers are desirous of obtaining first-class, reliable agents in every county, to whom a liberal commission or salary will be paid. N. B.—Oiher works of a very inferior char acter, small size, and containing less than one third the matter of this work, purporting to be complete (?) histories of Pennsylvania, will be circulated during the Cent'enniat year. Be sure the work you purchase has over 1000 pages and 300 fine engravings, and contains a separate history of each county. PROSPECTUS OF THE CENTENNIAL DI REC,ORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.-J. Simpson Africa & Son propose to meet a growing want, of the citizens of Huntingdon county and the business public in general, by issuing a di. rectory of the several boroughs of the county. 'lt will be compiled from actual canvass and will contain : I. An alphabetically arranged list of the names of business firms and private citizens of each town with description of business and location. 11. For Huntingdon, a classified list of names of persons engaged in each business pursuit or profession. 111. A list of the state, county and borough officers, churches, schools, banks, newspapers , fire departments, literary, benevolent end other ass'ciations. IV. A brief descript;on of each town, its location and population, with such other ia formation as may interest the citizen or stranger, It will be printed on good paper and bound in pasteboard. W. J. Geissinger will call upon our citizens and solicit their furors. We arc pleased to commend this enterprise, hoping it may be a success and that it will pay handsomely. CURE FOR. DIPTRERIA.— Below we print a recipe for the cure of diptheria, which has been kindly furnished for the benefit of the public, by Hiram Burlew, of Lock Haven. It is composed, as will be seen of simple iu. gradients, which can be readily obtained at any of our drug stores. A supply should he prepared by everybody and kept on band for an emergency; although we do not anticipate an alarming spread of the dreaded diptheria, it will often "come handy" in case of sore throat of any kind. The following is the re cipe : 3 oz. wild cherry bark. 2 oz. sage. Boil each separately in a pint of water, mix together and strain, and boil down to a half pint ; add to this 1 oz. of alum and as much loaf or granulated sugar as will dissolve. This is to be used as a gargle as often as may be needed. Poultice the throat with figs or cranberries, well mashed. Mr. Burlew adds : "I made use of the above treatment for diptheria in myfamily with good success, when the doctor had given up the child as a hopeless case." IMPORTANT TO ASSESSORS.—Attorney General Lear having been addressed in rela tion to the law on the question of the time when assessors elected in February last would be inducted into office, replies that their terms will commence as heretofore, at the expira tion of the terms of those elected on the third Tuesday in February, 1875, and will continue until the first Monday in April following the expiration of their respective . terms. In other words, the assessors elected in February will commence their terms of office next fall, and continue in office until the first Monday in April, 1878. There can be no election in February next year, the assessors will not be chosen until the spring election of the year following. Those who are chosen at that time will commence their duties on the first Monday in April ensuing . , and thereafter the elections and terms will be regular, and occur annually. DWELLING HOUSE BURNED. —On Thursday evening of last week the dwelling house of J. M. Leech, Esq., of Franklin town ship, this county, took fire, it is supposed, from a spark from a flue, and was entirely consumed with some of the household goods. The fire was not discovered until it was too late to extinguish it. The neighbors are high ly complimented by the Squire for the effec tive efforts used to save his property, and he connot thank them too much. The loss will amount to about $lOOO. No insurance. We deeply sympathize with our distressed friend. A home will be immediately erected. THE NEW HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA 11:trriAnrg, a gen CHARACTERISTICS OF TILE WORK - CENTENNIAL ENTERPRISE —A Word of Warning to Young Girla.—The following letter is being addressed to young girls all over the country, and is doubtless intended to attract them to Philadelphia during the Cen teunial, under guise of employment, when their ruin is aimed at. We print the text of the letter as a warning to girls here : Miss : Our agent has been •,lirougli your city this month, sent specially by us to gather the names of suitable young ladies to whom we propose to give employment for ILL least four months during the coming summer. We, of course, want comely and respectable looking people, and your name is on our agent's report. We have been selected by the Centennial Committee to engage for them at least two hundred young ladies for the pur pose of attending to the flower stands, act as cashiers in the several refreshment depart meats, sell tickets for the grand elevator, take charge of news stands, sell pictures, guide books, etc., attend to soda water fountains, and many other light and respectable situa tions. Besides paying you well, say from $8 to $l5 per week, including your meals, you will have a fine opportunity of seeing the grand Centennial Exhibition every day. You will therefore see the necessity of replying early, as we want to engage everybody we want by the middle of April, and then have I them thoroughly drilled and posted by the time the Exposition opens. We have decided to select young ladies from out of your town, because the neighboring cities should be ben efitted as well as Philadelphia. Of course, your parents will object to your leaving home. It would therefore be best for you to say noth ing about this until you are here, and then to write to them. However, you can do as you please about that. We would like to have you here by the 10th of April. Answer immedi ately, when we will send you a letter of in structions how to come to Philadelphia, how to see us, and how to proceed. Your wages will be decided as soon as you come, and paid to you in advance for the first four weeks, commencing the day after you get here. THE DOMESTIC MONTHLY.—In no o. her periodical can the ladies find such an abund ance of useful information concerning Spring Fashions, or their wants so completely and satisfactorily anticipated, as in the April number of this popular magazine. It is a large, double number, one of the four issued during the year, giving a full description of p i e latest styles in Ladies and Children's Cos tumes, Fabrics, Trimmings, Millinery, Coif fures, Shoes, Lingerie, and recent novelties in Fancy and needlework. It is beautifully il lustrated, and contains also a handsome col ored plate representing stylish street costumes. A handsome illustrated Catalogue of Fashions, and an eight-page supplement descriptive of Fashion Plate, also accompanies the number, a liberality on the part of the publishers which must prove very acceptable to the read ers of the Monthly. An unusual amount of fresh interesting lit erature is also supplied. Besides the conclu sion of the interesting serial. "And Obey,'' there is provided the opening chapters of a new novelette, "Margaret." a number of fine poems, a pleasing variety of sketches and pa pers, which, in addition to the usual Miscel lency, Small Talk, Art and Literary Notes, etc., serve to make the number exceptionally inter esting and attractive.

THAN FICTION." —From occurrences iu every-day life, we are constantly reminded of the truth of the above quotation, and seldom more forcible than the following incident : Sometime during the late civil war, Richard Crone, a son of Geo. Crone. deed., residing near Shirleysburg, this county, was drafted and entered the service of his country. Sometime thereafter he was reported as among the missing .sued it was supposed he had been captured by rebels, and had died. In the meantime his father had died and his mother lied applied for a pension which she supposed she was entitled to, when what was her surprise at receiving a letter purporting to be from her long lost son. In his letter he stated that he bad been captured . by the Indians soon after the close of the war, and had been wandering about ever since, and bad just effected his escape, and was now at Chicago, in very destitute circumstances. His mother has forwarded him money to con vey him home, where his return is looked for daily. We do not vouch for the truth of the above, but give it just as it was given us by a reliable citizen of that township, but will say stranger things have happened. We wait for further developments.—Orbisonia Leader. THE SCALP BUSINESS.— How scalps are _Manufactured.—Recently attention has been drawn toward the large sum of money paid from the county treasury in the shape of bounty upon the scalps of certain wild ani mals, and the fact became apparent that much of it was not honestly obtained. Investiga tion revealed several well devised and care fully executed methods for defrauding the treasury, which we here put on record. In one instance the skin of a colt, which bad died, was taken and deftly cut up and manu factured into ears, and palmed out on unsus pecting Justices as those of a vertible fox.— In another case a real fox skin was converted into ears and made to answer for a large num ber of Reynards. The hide of a black cat was utilized and enlarged to represent any number of skunks, while fox ears were split up to do double duty. One family of pseudo Nimrods, it is alleged, has drawn from the county treasury, since the first of January, one thous and dollars. Some eighteen, or twenty war rants have been issued for the arrest of the persons engaged in this nefarious business, some of whom have already been arrested and lodged in jail. The officers of the law are still in pursuit of others, with strong hopes of their capture.—Altoona Tribune. Dragging out Existence. The nervous, weakly invalid does not enjoy life, but merely "drags out existence," as the phrase is. Unfitted for the active pursuits of life, and incapable of partaking of its pleas ures, to which health alone can give a zest; disinclined to social intercourse, and a prey to melancholy, the valetudinarian is indeed an object of pity. Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot be remedied by that genial alternative tonic and nervine, Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient stamina, braces the nervous system, and over comes those bodily irregularities to which nervous weakness is most frequently attribu table. Diseases of the kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion and uterine troubles are fertile sources of debility. This eradication however, becomes a matter of certainty when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are systematically used for that purpose. The Bitters likewise annihilate and prevent fever and ague and debilitating febrile complaints of a malarial nature. ap-7-lm. W. W.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.— On Monday the newly elected constables of this county .were sworn into office. Twenty-two swore by the Book, six by the uplifted hand, and four affirmed. The election of Richard Wills, con stable of Warriorsmark, was contested by David Funk, who claimed to have received a majority of two votes, through an irregular ity in the return of the vote in the borongh of Birminzharo, however, Nlr. Wills gained the day. Up to the time of our going to press no cases of importance have been tried. A few trivial prosecutions, and one or two civil actions, constitute the list. We give them be!ow The Commonwealth vs. John Smith, an in dictment fur aggravated assault and battery., was the first to claim the attention of a jury. The Commonwealth's counsel proposed to lay before the Court and jury a harrassing case of beating a defenseless woman by the de fendant. A witness was called, who testified that she had heard of the assault from the lips of the woman herself. The Court said that heresay evidence wouldn't do. The wit ncss persisted that she could tell all about it even if she didn't see the fracas, but she had to step down and out. The Commonwealth's counsel said he had no other witnesses, and the case broke down. The next case was an indictment for lar ceny. Th•' defendants, James Robison and Charles Shriver, were convicted, by the jury, of the offense of stealinf4 coal from the Penn's. R. R. ears, as they passed through this town. A civil suit came next. Elizabeth C.apper vs. David Hicks—an appeal. The issue was remanded back to the justice by agreement of the parties. Mary E. Morrison vs. Richard G. Morrison . This was an issue to determine the facts al leged in a petition of Mary E. Morrison for a divorce from her husband, R. G. Morrison.— Messrs. Speer and Dorrie appeared for the plaintiff and P. M. Lytle for the defendant.— Many of the details of this case were of a character unfit for publication. The main facts allegedby plaintiff's counsel were that de fendant had since his marriage with plaintiff in 1869 committed adultery, and had treated her with such cruelty as rendered her life burdensome. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, which entitles her to a divorce. The Commonwealth vs. Marion Robley. The defendant in this case was charged with "De livering explosive substances to one David Alcott with intent to burn." The evidence showed that some powder was placed in the pipe of the prosecutor by the defendant, with out prosecutor's knowledge, and the result was a little explosion which prosecutor claims put out one eye and rendered the other almost useless. A good deal of interest was felt in this case for the allegation made in defence that the whole prosecution was gotten up by a brother in-law of Alcotts, for black mailing purposes, and that the blindness, dr.c., was all feigned. During the progress of the trial the Court adjourned to permit two distinguished physicians to make a critical examination of the prosecutor's eyes. This developed the fact that both eyes were intact and the only ques tion left was whether the defendant put powder in prosecutor's pipe with intent to harm or disfigure him. This the jury decided in the negative, by acquitting the prisoner. .\s we go to press the case of the Common wealth vs. John Swine—an indictment fur perjury is on trial. \Ve clip the l'..,llowinz l'rani the burgh Presbyt:rinn 11.inuer ot . 21;th ultt 113 0 :- A Success oil. PITTSBUIV:II Hon:sc.—Mize than three score vears facto (in 1815) the man ufacture of Biscuit and Crackers by machinery was commenced Pittsburgh by Mr. John Paris in a very small buildiuz on Liberty :itrect, and was successfully prosecuted by him fur half a century. His list was limited to some four or five kinds, but his constant aim was to produce the best, and his manu factures were superior to all others then made. lie was succeeded in his stand and business in 1865 by the present well known firm of S. S. Marvin & (70., whose business energy and enterprise are exemplified by the following facts : The small original bakery has developed (as Darwin would say) into a structure fifty by one hundred and tea feet in dimensions and four stories high, containing a forty-horse power engine and six ovens, affording room and employment for fifty operatives, and is suing, instead of a half dozen, nearly a hun dred varieties of Biscuit, Crackers, and Small Cakes. This amazing progress has been made principally during the last ten years ; and as one evidence both of the magnitude of the business tranacted, and also of the public ap preciation of Marvin & Co's manufactures, we may add that this house now produces more in a single month than all the other Pittsburgh and Allegheny houses, previous to this decade, turned out in a year. But it is not on its three-score years, nor on its five-score list of products, that this es tablishment relies, as constituting its claim for public patronage. The ground on which it has uniformly sought to build up its busi ness is—the superiority of its manufactures. This superiority they have endeavored to attain by the following means : 1. By the close attention of the proprietors to this one business, devoting it to their time, labor, and experience, to the conclusion of all extraneous enterprises. 2. By availing themselves promptly at great expense of all the latest improvements in ma chinery and processes of manufacture. 3. By employing the most careful and ex perienced workmen, and by giving each detail of the businc3s their own personal superin tendence. 4. By using only the best of flour and other materials, though thus diminishing the mar gin of their profits when competing with those who imitate their manufactures in appearance whilst supplying a greatly inferior article. 5. By processes of manufacture peculiar to this house, and which have been adopted after careful and repeated experiments. As the Spring business is about opening, we bare deemed it a proper time to put this en terprising house before our readers in that po sition which the superiority of its manutact ares and the integrity with which its busi gess is conducting so richly deserve.

POMEROY, of Chambersburg, in ronnertion with the nomination by the Republican party in this District for Congress. It is a most happy suggestion, and is re ceived here, where Mr. P. is known for years. with much favor. Mr. P. was tormerly a res ident of the part of Franklin county contiguous to us—was a Representative in our State Legislature, and his record there was highly creditable. Subsequently he has been largely engaged in active life, and is now conducting one of the most successful Republican papers in the interior of the State. In all tbe posi tions he has filled he has evinced the qualities now so much needed, and imperatively de manded by the people—namely, honesty and capacity—and would, no doubt, if chosen to the place. intelligently and well represent tbis important District in Congress. Ile has also the popular qualities to make a good run io the canvass, and would likely develop the vote of the District about as we!l is prac ticable. In the approaching cninpeivi want, as Repubiicans, to win, ar.d to this en•! let Usl have the beat material to the front. April 12, 1876. TELL. MILL l'excic, PA. ? April A. 1470;. Mil. J. it. Densoattow—Dear Sir :--i see that Mr. Jeffries has another sermon Ott nalism in the last Globe. Mr. Jeffries is rath er a shree. , l man. lie always introilue.e hi 4 doctrines at weak points, where they will be most likely to take, and in having his sermon published in the Globe be no doubt thought that he would have an editor and a elms of readers that won la be more likely to take vita his errors than any ethers in the county. And we do think he has slit wn no shrewdness in thi4 matter. Mr. that Christian spiritualists have the tame pow er to cast out evil spirits, that Christ's dis ciples had. Now, if this is true, I wish he would try his hand on the Globe editor. I think it he would cast about seventy of them out of hint it would end our political troubles in this county. “Tax Payer's" aisle articles. that have ap peared in the Jouaant. for several weeks past. have opened tile eyes of a good many tax pay ers in this locality. They had no ideas of such corruption in the management of our County Alms florae, and wonder why no one of thein wiil undertake to defend the course they have pursued. OILSERVER.
