The members of the Cambria county Bar presented Judge Dean with a silver tea set worth $2OO. Dr. Jackson, of this place, made a five pronged buck bite the dust, in Mifflin county, a few days ago. The railroad schedules underwent another change on Sunday last. See corrected tables in another column. Monday morning dawned with the earth covered to the depth of about two inches with "beautiful snow." John Cunningham was the first to bring his sleigh to the fore, but we rather think he found it "rough sledding." K. Kringle will make his headquarters at the JOURNAL Store from this date until the close of the holiday seasnn. The musk of the bells on Sunday eve nings is unmistakable evidence that Huntingdon is a town of churches. Dr. J. R. Patton is teaching the young idea how to shoot, having taken charge of the colored school in this place. The ice dealers are housing a fair quality of the congealed fluid this week with fair prospects of plenty more of the same kind. Owing to the high winds and the in• tense cold, the different churches were rather slimly attended on Sunday morning last. The JOURNAL contained the most cor• rect and truthful account of the murder of Dr. Shade of any paper in the county. David P. Tus:sey, one of Sinking Valley's oldest and most respected citizens, died on the 4th inst., at the adianced age of 70 years. Rev. Bingham, of Philadelphia, occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church, in this place, on Sunday morning and evening. . The town clock, for some cause or other, refused to do duty from a few minutes past 7 A. N., on Sunday last, and it was greatly missed. Elder Bashor,a German Baptist preacher, as a result of his labors in Taylor township, Cambria county, has immersed ninety-two converts.

Lindsay has county printing on the brain, but he would rather have the proceeds of it in his pocket, which accounts forhis almost weakly snarling and growling like a bear with a sore head. In order to keep the water in the canal during the winter the borough authorities have agreed to pay the lock-tender $lO. If we had water works we would not be compelled to do this. Prof. Guss, in last week's Globe, went for the unruly boys in attendance at the Institute. We observed some young men there who behaved worse than any boy that came under our observa tion.

The GrapVc records the death of a large and interesting family from small-pox, communi cated through a borrowed newspaper. The only safe plan is to subscribe direct from the buFiness office. The terms of the JOURNAL are per Dyspepsia is cured by muscular exercise, voluntary or involuntary, and it cannot be cured in any other way, because nothing but exercise can create or collect gastric juice, which is a product of the human machine that nature alone can make. Our "Polly" proposes to spend his holidays on the Alleghenies, whether in search of dears or not we aro not prepared to say, but we do know that ho anticipates huge fun and a good time generally, an I we hope he way not be dis appointed. The mastery of a pure iniud over human prejudices and passions is never so well exemplified as in the play of contending emotions that sweep over the face of a young lady at church when she looks on the same hymn-book with a man who has been eating onions. Mew nights ago some unholy scoundrels entered the stable of Mr. Stifler, in Freedom town ship, Blair county, and cut off his horse's tail, cu his harness and Ills buggy top to pieces. Some of the Southern "bull-dozers" must have found thei r way to Blair county. The Cambria Iron Company, Johns town, has just purchased the right to use Diehl's smoke consumer, and will at once put it into operation at their extensive works in that place. It is expected to save from $lO,OOO to $15,000 per year in the matter of fuel. A primary public school has been opened in the basement of the Baptist church, with . Miss Mary M'Coy as teacher. This was necessary in order to enable one of the teachers in the "coop" on the hill to get through the room without walking on the heads of her pupils. For whitening the teeth there is nothing superior to wood charcoal very finely powdered.— Take a few shavings of castile soap and dissolve in spirits with the aid of heat. Use this solution to make with the charcoal a very stiff paste, adding a little syrup or honey to sweeten it, and scent to suit. The Patriot of Wednesday morning says : We learn from a reliable source that the fast mail train which had become a popular in stitution along the railroad lines, between New York and Chicago, and other points west, will be again put on the road on next blonds , morning. The train will leave New York at 4:25 a in., and will reach here at 12 in. Messrs. Port & Friedly have workmen employed in building them a large ice-house and cooling-room, in the rear of their commodious slaughter house, in this borough. These gentlemen have been in the butchering business for a number of years, and they do not stop at any expense to secure all the modern improvements calculated to facilitate the successful carrying out of their ex tensive business. A correspondent desires to know what sort of thins a "pocket gymnasium" is that he sees advertised in the papers. Well, a pocket gymnasium holds from a pint to a quart. and is made of glass covered with leather; but we can't recommend it. We once saw a young man have one in good working order, and after practicing with it a short time he found it much easier to stand on his head than on his feet and he couldn't find his way home. Our fellow-townsman, T. W. Myton, esq., met with quite a serious accident, ono day last week, while on a hunting expedition. He was working at a cartridge, for a breech-loader, when it exploded, with a loud report, scattering the shot in every direction and severely lacerating his hand. A companion, who was in the cabin, was asked if he was hurt, when he replied that he "was shot all to h-11," but upon examination he hadescaped without a scratch. Determined not to be outdone by their brethren of Huntingdon, the members of the Blair County Bar purchased and placed in the residence of Hon. John Dean a handsome and costly silver service, consisting of the following pieces: Coffee urn, tea pot, water pot, sugar bowl, cream pitcher, slop bowl, molasses pitcher, large crescent shaped salver, silver mug, watch case, spoon stand, butter bowl and stand. Inscription : "Bon. and Mrs. John Dean. Compliments of the Blair County Bar. Nov. 23, 1876."—Standard. On Monday night last, about 11 o'clock, as W. H. Fisher, esq., went to the door of his office to throw out some water, some scoundrel ; concealed in the vicinity, fired a shot at him, the ball imbedding itself in the casing of the door.— The night being very dark Mr. Fisher was unable to see any person, and the first intimation that 11 5 hhd of the presence of any one was the report of a pistol and the whizzing of a ball in close proximity to his head. It was a very narrow escape, and the would-be murderer will escape detection, as there is no clue to his identity. More's the pity. Late on Sunday afternoon Blair John ston, son of Mr. John Johnston, of this place, left his home and wandered out along Stone Creek roan, into Oneida township, and by some means got into a strip of woods, in that locality, known as "Simpson's Bottom," where he spent the night. Search was made for him during all of Sunday night, but he was not found until late in the fore noon of Monday, when he was discovered lying near a hay stack, on the farm of J. Murray Simp son, esq., with his face scratched, his clothes torn, and his ears, hands and feet badly frozen. Mr. Simpson took him to his house and immediately sent word to his father, who had him brought to hie home, where everything possible is being done to alleviate his suffering. Young Johnston is about 22 years of age, and from early childhood he has been a suffer from a disease which has im paired his mind and rendered him a great charge upon his parents. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS—The Turn of Life. --From the age of forty-five to fifty, woman has arrived at a critical period of her existence; the stream of death flows before her across it is a bridge called "the turn of life" beyond it is a de lightful garden. The path is beset with danger, and guarded by the fierce, dragons of disease. Dropsy, Erysipelas, Hysteria, Nervousness, and other disorders too numerous to mention; but arm ed and prepared by Holloway's famous Pills, she will pass with security into those beautiful regions, and enjoy herself till the sun of life sets in the serene evening of old age. Negligence at this season is productive of the most frightful conse quences and death itself would be far preferable to such a mockery of life. The nervousness flushes and fainting fits, the general prostration of the system, may be all prevented by a timely recourse to these incomparable remedies. LADIES ! LADIES LADIES ! LADIES ! FURS!

About half past seven o'clock. M. William Swoope, a neighbor living about half a Wile distant saw the light of the burning build ing, and got on a horse and hastened over. When he got there the roof had fallen in, the windows were burred out and the whole interior of the house on fire and no signs of life about. Ho then went t i the house where the father and mother were at to apprise them of the condition of their house, not knowing that the lives of four innocent i ldren perished in the flames, until afterwards. The parents hastened to the scene, only to he appalled at beholding the smouldering ruins of their hotne, and to witness the charred remains of the four children who but a few hours before had been put to bed. The mother had the youngest child with her, and the eldest was away at a neighbor's. The lire was cupposed to have nri4inated from the chimney, and was supposed to have caught on or near the roof. The house was a log one such as was usually built in an early day by the old settlers of Broad Top. On Wednesday search was made for the remains. The skulls and some of the larger hones of the three girls were found in the early part of the day and buried in the old cemetery near by. In the afternoon Messrs. Pearson, Foster and King suc ceeded in finding the remains of the little boy in a pretty good state of preservation owing to his body being wrapped up in bed clothing, etc. . . / n ot • V Mr. M'Ciowan only loses his children, but all that he possessed. lie was a poor man and did nut have very much of this world's goods, but this only makes his loss the greater.

FIRE IN Slit RLEYSBURG.—A CHURCH, Two Dwellinv and Two Stables in Ruins.--On Saturday morning last, between two and three o'clock, the village of Shirleysburg was visited by a disastrous conflagration which destroyed the M. E. church, two dwelling houses and two stables, and entailed a loss of about $4,000. The fire originated in the log barn and stable of James A. Doyle, which, together with a lot of walnut lumber and a hearse were soon consumed. The flames next attacked the brick house of David Miller, which was unoccupied, and from this point leaped to the M. E. Church which was soon enveloped in flames, and notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the citizens to save the structure, it soon suc cumbed to the devouring element. The residence of our friend George Leas, esq., was thenext object for destruction, and, in a brief space of time the building was wrapped in flames. An effort was made to save his household goods, but so rapid was the conflagration that but few articles could be secured, and in less time than it takes us to write it his house and household goods were licked up by the remorseless flumes. At one time the Methodist Parsonage was in great danger of de struction, but by the concentrated efforts of the citizens it was saved. The citizens had nothing but buckets to fight the fire with, their engine, a snail] affair, soon froze up, and could not be used. We understand that there was no insurance on any of the property destroyed, and therefore the loss will fall heavily upon the victims of the fire. It is believed that the fire is the work of an in cendiary torch. We sympathize deeply with the unfortunates, and hope that the black-hearted fiend may be apprehended and brought to justice.

DILAPIDATED SIDE-WALKS.—AS I have a care for the life and limb (as well as the soul of my neighbor,) I would call the attention of the humane, to the dangerous condition of Mif flin street between Bth and 10th. Both sides of the way are alike dilapidated and unsafe, even in day time, but far more so at night, with only a glimmer of light here and there, to make the dark ness more visible. It is high time, that those in authority, to attend to such matters, did their du ty, and have sound boards (if boards they must be,) properly nailed down so that in stepping on one end, the other does not fly up in your face and the next step have the pleasing variety of your foot being plunged into a hole, twisting your an kle and perhaps laying you up six weeks with a bad sprain. That is one phase of the present state of the street, the other is, the very fancy ornamenta tion wrought on the skirts of dresses, in every style by the spikes and nails standing up about an inch from the board, just high enough to make round holes, square holes, triangles, any and every variety, not to mention the fringes, ribbons and festoons that decorate the pedestrians who have to pass that way. Some of the above mentioned delights have been experienced by the writer, who has been, and is now a SUFFERER. JUST received all the styles of Hats and Caps for Men and Boy's.

It confidently claims to be the best adapted to all religious meet ings—prayer-meetings, praise-meetings, protrac ted-meetings, Sunday-schools, etc.—embracing, as it does, the old and the new hymns that are most I .nre, inspiring, helpful and scriptural in senti ment, and most used in all parts of the country and among all denominations. A large number of thehymns in this valuable cillection are those sung in the Moody and Sankey meetings in England, New York, Philadelphia, and now in Chicago. The book is the result of twenty years' experience in the publication of religious literature, and in pastoral and evangelistic labor, and is believed to be the best adapted, of any convenient-sized, neat and cheap work in the market, for pulpit use, home uso, prayer and praise-meetings, anniversa ries, Christmas, Christmas-trees, Sunday-schools , all special occasions, etc. With the hymns of this book there are nearly all of the best of both the old and the new tunes—the tunes now most used in all churches.

The subscription price (;:.'.B a year,) is cheap fur the amount of reading furnished; while fur those desiring the cream of both home and foreign lit erature, the publishers make a still cheaper offer, viz.: to send, postpaid, Tice Living Aye and either one of the American 84 monthlies, or weeklies, a year for $10.50.
