The steamer "Huntingdon" was taken out for a squirt, on Friday afternoon last. Our humorists look Ste(a)rn now, and, on the other band, Stearn looks humorous. The Altoona Globe fails to revolve around this print shop. Why is this thus, gentlemen ? The parlor pistol is an abomination when in the hands of a boy noted for his cussedness. Those who come to you to talk about others are the ones who go to others to talk about you. Messrs. A. J. Lamberson and Loden Dean were awarded the contract to repair the Bar ree bridge. Mr. Drake, the Pennsylvania Railroad oper at6r, at this place. has fitted up his office very tastefully. Green cucumbers are in market, and the doctors are happy; pains under the waistband, you know. The brick work of the new Baptist church is completed, and it is a massive pile of brick and mortar. The Presbyterian Sunday School of West Huntingdon celebrated its third anniversary on Sunday last John C. Boggs, ,tl., and wife, of Altoona, attended Presbyterian Church, in this place, on Sunday last. A fish warden is what we want to vindicate the game laws. They are a dead letter in this neighborhood. Young sparrows in large numbers. They are fat and plump and make nice takes for the numerous felines. An unassuming corn can predict rain 24 hours in advance of one-half of the pretentious artificial b9.rom e ters. "Going for greens," Las been the common observation of the woman with a bucket or basket on her arm. The w!lite butterfly, said by etomologists to be the mother of the cabbage worm, has put in an appearance. Rev. Quin ter, of the Baptist Brethren chut eh , immersed two persons in the river near Sthith • field, on Sunday last. The te!epi: one and Gary Motor, both util:zing the forces of nature, are likely to revolutionize the telegraph and steam. As far as heard from there are only seventeen candidates for Sheriff in this county. Plenty of timber to select from. Freckled goods are all the fashion for the ladies, and as summer advances they will ad mirably match some faces. A is vein of rich fossil ore has been foun , ' on the land of our friend Richard Ash man, esq., in Clay township. Plant at least one more acre of potatoes ; at twenty-five c.,nts p.r bushel they pay fully as well as wheat at two dollars. The Presbyterian Sabbath School, of West Hun'ingdon, will hold a - iestilal on the eve nings of the Bth and 9th inst. Warm stc. ees, ovt..coats, and other winter toggery were it demand, and comfortable, daring st portion of last week. L. E. Weimer, esq., is erecting a handsome brick e , lditioti to his residence on the corner of Bth and Washing.on streets. A number of the members of the bar have been attending the sessions of the Supreme Ciurt, at Harris - Lurg, th;s week Persons who take letters from the post office L• :longing to other uarties and fail t 3 return them, are liable to a fine of $5OO. A-couple of C mans, with trained birds, visited our town on Monday, and picked up a few sickles by exhibiting their pets. Property holder 3 are not counting on as high figures this week, as last. The price does not look so well turough plate glass. A party of fishermen, with stir-nets, suc ceeded in catching twenty-one good-sized eels La the Juniata rivet, on Monday afternoon. A "Conemaugh alligator," twenty-two inches long, was caught, a few nights ago, on an out line, in the Juniata river, near Lewistown. Kerosene stimulates the growth of hair.— Here is a ..Lance for the man with the shiny pate. The Scientific American is authority for the statement. We call attention to the advertisement of the Tuscarora Female Seminary, located at Academia. It has the reputation of being an excellent school. Rev. F. B. Riddle officiated at the open air services, corner of Fifth and Washington streets, on Sunday evening. A respectably large audience was in attendance. "How are you, friend ? Why you are the 'mildest mannered man' I have seen for a month. What is the matter ?" "I am only a candidate for sheriff, thank you !" "Where the carrion is there will the buz zards be," was fully demonstrated on Saturday morning last, by the individuals who lounged in the neighborhood of the lockup. Decker and Shaffner are determined that their customers shal no longer seek for a sign ; the; have gone and put one up in Oriental colors. There is weight in that sign. The women are still contracting about the hips ; one would think they were all (a) little hipped. They can be divided off into two classes—the broad and narrow gauge. The salaries of all railroad employees, eon nected with the Pennsylvania Central, whose income exceeds ten cents per hour, will be reduced ten per cent. from the list inst. We are glad to see our old friend, Mr. Wil liam Summers,on his } ,ius again, able to move about, though he looks considerably worse the sick spell that he has passed through. Huntingdon will have the Belgian glass works, more than the necessary amount of stock having been subscribed for. Huntingdon is a gritty and enterprising place.-Phila. Tzrnes. Mrs. Isabella Williamson, the venerable mother of Mrs. J. P. Anderson, died at the residence of her daughter, in this borough, on Sunday evening last, in the 87th year of her age. The School Directors have changed the American series of spellers for Prof. Raub's.— Those wishing to procure the new spellers, at introduction rates, can do so at the JounsaL Store. We acknowledge a pop visit from Brother S. J. Jordan, esq., editor of the Bedford In quirer, the man who gets up the Bedford county monstrosities. He is a clever scribe. May his tribe increase. The jewelry man tried bis little game in Houtzdale, last week, but there were no greenies to bite, and be drove on to the next village where, we hope, he received a coat of tar and feathers. The most excellent attributes to the succeke of the first-class hotel are courteous treat ment, a well-appointed cuisine, and well-fur nished rooms. You can find all these at the Colonnade Hotel, in Philadelphia. A little son of G. W. Buon, residing in Smithfield, near this place, was run over by a wagon loaded with hay, on Friday last, and seriously injured, but we are pleased to learn that the little fellow is about again. Mr. Charles Anderson has renovated the old stone building, on 4th street, in which it is claimed Gen. Porter, of the Pulimaa Car Company, was born, and it looks as neat and nice as a bridal chamber in a first class hotel. An old lady named Wertz, who resided on Allegheny street, in this borough, was found dead in bed on last Thursday morning. She was in her usual good health when she retired the night previous. Iler daughter occupied the same bed. Some thief or thieves broke into a house, in West Huntingdon, in which Prof. W. W. Gary has his household goods stowed away, and carried off ail the clothing and other small articles in the house, really leaving very little sa.e the furniture. "Jealousy," says Madame de Puisieux, "is an awkward homage which inferiority renders to merit," and Shenstone strengthens this definition by saying, "jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority; envy our un easiness under it." Passing along the Conemaugh, below Johns town, during the warm weather of a week or so ago, we observed, stationed out in the river, at intervals of fifty yards or so, individuals armed with guns. What was the sanguinary intent, friend Easly ? A "soiled dove," who has been fluttering about the suburbs of this place for several days and nights past, was given quarters in the lockup, on Friday night, and on Saturday morning she was released,with the admonition to "go and sin no more." The Stewards of the different Methodist churches,throughout the Juniata District met, in this place, on Tuesday afternoon last for the purpose of fixing the annual salary of the Presiding Elder. After a full expression of opinion the amount was fixed at $2,000. Will those indebtO to us try to pay us at least a portion of their indebtedness ? We need money badly and must havc it. We owe a few persons, and they want their money and insist upon it. Pay up. We have waited to the lest and now our time has come. Pay up I John A. Smull's capital Hand Book is gotten up for the convenience of members of the Legislature, members of the Press and ethers interested in statistics, but for the last two years no Small has found its way to our table. Some one has been guilty of dereliction of duty. Oa Tuesday morning last we had the pleas ure of taking by the hand our esteemed and clever friend, Harry W. Hunter, esq., of Colo rado, who, after a seven years' absence, is visiting his friends in this' section. He looks well and is the same genial cuss as of yore. Welcome. On Sunday last the stables belonging to the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company, at Roberts dale, were destroyed by fire. By almost superhuman efforts the mules were got out.— All the harness, feed, etc., were destroyed.— Origin of the fire not known.—Orbironia Lea der, Nay 23. On Sunday evening last an express car, at tached to the Atlantic Express east, contained five running horses from Kentucky, en route fcr Jerome Park, New York. They belonged to H. P. M'Grath, a noted turfman of the blue grass region, who proposes to spend the sum mer in the east. Messrs. Dern and Grier, of the Altoona Tri bune, went down to Juniata county, one day last week, and carried off a floe lot of speckled beauties—great large ones. It is said that the average Altoonian took them to be shad ; but, then, they know nothing about shad up there in the mountains. John A. Willoughby, esq., accompanied by his week-old wife, arrived in Huntingdon on Monday morning, where they will tarry for a few days amongst kindred and friends. Jack has driven his stakes in Colorado, where, we ar2 pleased to learn, he is prospering. Here's success to you and yours, Jack. Our friend, John Montz, of Juniata town ship, informs us that his crop of cherries promises to 1 - ,e prolific, and in a few days his stentorian voice will be heard through our streets offering this luscious fruit for sale.— Montz is a fixed institution during the cherry season, and by-the-way is a very clever man. If we thought that we could induce any of the thousand persons, who owe us in Hun tingdon county, to come in and pay us C. tiring the special court, we would appeal to them to do so, but our experience does not warrant us in making the effort. We have been treated simply shamefully, in this respect, by many of our subscribers. "The Gary Elevator" is what :a correspondent of the Altoona Globe calls it. The wr;tar could not have bad the fear of Mr. Gary or his friends before his eyes. We hope the other statements of the correspondent afore said are more reliable ; if they are not there will be an awful bill to settle for stupidity some of these days. The tropical wave of week before last was followed by an artic wave last week. The extremes were so great that they effected the price of clothing. The chap who doffed his winter weather garments was glad to bunt them up ar .1 plead for more time. Even old "Probs . " can't sometimes always tell what kind of weather may be precipitated by an earthquake. Peaches will be abundant in Maryland and Delaware. We hope that some better plan will be adopted for their distribution, through out the country, than was adopted two years ago. There were oceans of them then and yet, owing to some miserable combination, we could scarcely get a respectable peach.— The peach growers should see to it that they are not imposed upon again in this way. It pains us very much to learn that S. S. King, esq., travelling agent for the Duncannon Iron Works, attempted to commit suicide, at Danville, on Wednesday of last week, indict hag, it is thought, a fatal wound with a pistol. Mr. King was, for a number of years, Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Good Templar! of Pen-isylvania. Since the above was in :ype we learn that Mr. King died on Friday night The stoves that had been set away for the season were pulled out, with much tribulation last week and set to work again. We have our minds' eye upon a gentleman taking refuge from a smoking re-placed furnace in his back office, calmly waiting until the wretched thing would get a-going. He never swears and prayer wasn't just in order. A little - cussing —not swearing—under such circumstances, is truly a great relief. A sack of Graham flour, weighing fifteen pounds. is retailed, by the millers, at seventy five cents. This is at the rate of three dollars per bushel for wheat, while it is really quoted at one dollar and fifty cents. This is simply outrageous I Thirty-three per cent. on bread stuffs is considered a fair percentage, but when it conies to making poor people pay one hundred per cent. we feel like denouncing the extortion in the severest terms. The man, IN ho would sneer at the pecuniary embarrassments of his neighbor, would not hesitate, in the selection of a mate, to barter affection and all the nobler attributes of man, in order to attain social and financial stand ing. The substantial character of a wife may be a convenient basis upon which to found a little wealth and position, but there are noble men who would sreon to be lifted into sun shine and luxury in this way. Many of the township and borough .officials in Schuylkill and adjoining counties, ey their neglect to publish the a.inual statements re quired by law, have been declared guilty of misdemeanor in office and are to be proceeded against. The maximum punishment, in the event of conviction, is $l,OOO fine. Wouldn't it be well enough for township and borough officials in this county to examine and see if they have complied with the law ? James Kelly, esq., manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, at this place, in forms us that his company has reduced the rates for day dispatches, to all points east of the Mississippi river, including Omaha, Ne• braska and Achison and Leavemworth,Kansas, to 25 cents for ten words, and for night dis patches, to 20 cents for twenty-seven words.— Competition and the telephone have done it. This is almost as cheap as dirt. We are get ting down to rock bottom in this matter at last. There is a large •lass of people who have not ready wit enough to immediately answer the simplest question, and, to gain time to collect their thoughts, pretend they did not fully understand the import of the matter ad dressed to them. Some people become so ad dicted to the habit that they expe,. ~'most everything said tc them to be repeated. If there is anything that we do despise it is this miserable subterfuge for short wittedness,and especially is this so when it has assumed the form of habit, An unfortunate case of Inzacy, resulting from religions excitement, has manifested itself, in the person of John A. Graham, of West Huntingdon. The first evidences were lronght to light, at services, on Sunday last a week ago, and it was with considerable diffi culty he was restrained. Since then he has passed from place to place, transacting visionary business, and making heavy pur chases. He appears to be harmless, but he ought to be sent to an asylum where quiet and attention might enthrone reason once more. Amateur printing is ruining the regular job offices in this place, and it i 3 only a question of time when the job offices will have to be closed op. The work which the amateurs cannot do is not sufficient to support them.— We have a job office,only second to one along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad, but we cannot keep men to attend to it, buy new styles of type, pay rent, &c., for the little work thrown our way. The people who encourage this sort of thing would frown uown any amateur movement in theirparticular business very soon. Jacob Miller, esq., an old and respected citizen, died at his residence, in Oneida town ship, on Friday afternoon last, aged 65 years. His disease was dropsy, and for several months past he had suffered greatly, being so afflicted that he was unable to lie in bed. He was a man of considerable importance in political circles, and at one time filled the office of County Commissioner. His remains were in terred in this place, on Sunday last, and were followed to their final resting place by a large concourse of people, and the Odd Fellows of this plate, of which organization lie had long been a member. Peace to his ashes. An Altoonagentleman, named Custer, played T. S. Fleming, of Gallitzin, fifteen games of checkers in the former place, on Monday eve ning, for the championship of Blair, Cambria, and Huntingdon Counties. Mr. Custer won eleven games, Mr. Fleming won two, and two were draws. Is there no one in Johnstown who can take the "onceit out of Mr. Custer.— Johnstown Tribune, May 23. This :s news hereaways. Mr. Custer has no right to lay claim to the belt unfit he has won it, and so far as our county is concerned there has been no contest. We have the mater;,.l in Hui.- tingdon, Mr. Tribune, that "can take the con ceit out of Mr, Custer," any. will prove this assertion whenever he feels like dropping down this way. DECORATION DAY. —At the ringing of the Court llouse bell, at 1 o'cloeK, P. M., on Wednesday last, soldiers, citizens, and two companies of the Fire Deparnent assembled on l'enn E between Second and Third, where a procession was formed in the follow ing order: Third Ward Band. Ministers of the Gospel. Soldiers and Citizens Druru Corps. Phoenix Fire Company. Huntingdon Fire Company No. 1 The procession, under command of Marshal Jno. H. Westbrook, moved up Penn street to Sixth, up Sixth to Mifflin, down Mifflin to Fifth, up Fifth to out Moore to Ceuletely Hill, wheiT the exercises .vcre inaugurated by an eloquent prayer being offered ❑p to the Throne of Grace by the Rev. T. Mitchell. Rev. W. W. Canopll, who bad been _e lected as the orator of the day, and prepare-1 the following address, -vas unable to be pres• ent, and having selected N. S. Lyti?, esq., to read his production, that gentleman proceed ed to do so as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens and Sol diers:—For the sake of the associations bel inging to this day, associations which are solemn, tender, reverential, yet withal full of patriotic, joyful in spiration, I could earnestly wish that 'he part as signed to me had been committed to abler hands. It would have been easy to have found a citizen who could have brought to this occasion a grand er tribute than I con bring. But I am sure it would be impossible to find one who would more willingly prepare, nail offer the best possible chap let in honor of the heroic deeds and ,ilustrious memories of those whose blood was the most pre cious part of the purchase money that has redeem ed our land for its new career of glory. The blc:„1- less dust of some of these heroes lies under this green sward. Right willingly I would do it hon or. But, in the very brief time that I have had, in which to make my preparation, amid other Dress ing engagements, it has beez impossible to do the subject, and the occasion, the justice they deserve. But let us attend to a few thoughts befitting this national day, as well as we eon. . _ . Let us briedy, therefore, consider in the first p taco, 1.-WELT WE ARE HERE TO-DAY TO DO? let. We are here to offer our tributes to the memory of our Soldiers, who perishod in the late civil war. 2nd. To take a new inspiration for the future from a study of flat.: lessons of the past. The care bestowed by our nation upon its de eca3ed soldiers is one of the noticeable facts to which the attention of the world has been drawn by our recent war. After no other war, whether of ancient or modern times, have any such syste matic exertions been made to secure the collection of the dead, and their interment in permanent resting places. Over fiftY National Cemeteries had been determined u,Ln by the Government as early as june,ls66,for tie sepulture of ourdead ho roes,andef these 41 had then been established. Thus nobly did the nation show its care not only for its living, but for its 300,000 dead. Its care fur its living sufferers—l mean by these, those who were the immediate sufferers and mourners, deprived of friends, and relatives, and limbs, or of all of these, and of temporal comforts besides—was amply shown in its humane and generous provision for widows and orphans, and maimed men, in the Schools and Homes it provided, and in its liberal supply of pension and surgical funds. There is something appropriate in the time se lected for this national, patriotic tribute. It is that period of the year, when the earth has fully emerged from the benumbing, deadening influen ces of winter, and has passed even the retarding checks of the early spring. Not only the tender, but the hardy trees have sent out their new-born foliage to bask in the sunlight, bathe in the fall ing showers, and disport themselves gleefully, in the balmy breeze. The flowers have expanded their brilliant petals, and fill the air with fra grance. "From the valley to the mountain top," nature smiles with eloquent bloom, and assures us that the time for the singing of birds has come— that the desolations of winter are past, and that the dreariness, and death of ice-bound days, may be forgotten in the general jubilee. The iron "bands of Orion" are loosed before "the sweet in fluences of Pleiades," and the reign of peace, fruit fulness, and beauty, seems all the sweeter for the dire e-a of distress that preceded it. I drop the metaphors, and say again with confidence, that we seem to stand in the spring-time of a new and grander age of promise, and of hope for our land. We bask to-day in the glory-beaming light of bet ter days. We gather the opening flowers, in their vernal freshness and perfume, and we cast them, reverently, after our suitable offering to our Crea tor—as a kind of first fruits, so to speak, upon the silent resting places of those whose deeds of valor, and self-surrender in the dark winter of our latest national trial prepared the way for this national spring-tide ; and preserved for us, under God, the venerated shrines at which we worship. Peace to the ashes of those brave men! Honor to their names! enduring honor. Remembrance! perpet ual, loving remembrance, and maintairrarce,of the fundamental principles under which they lived, for which they struggled, and fur which they bravely died! It will be oar pleasant and we hope profit able mission here to-day to glance briefly at some of the notable events in the more recent history of our country—events with which these sleeping soldiers were closely identified. And this we de sire to do, in no partisan spirit, but in such a way as to reach that height where mere party zeal is lost in a truly national pattiotkin. The history of any nation that attains a world wide eminence and influence is well worthy of study. It is interesting and instruotive to trees and mark the successive steps by which its eminence was reached and attained. They are like the crit ical periods in thc, life of an individual who rises to greatness. They are the steppings from weak- Bees to strength, from obscurity to fame. In our own case—these steps are both of a peace ful and warlike eharacter, and "Peace has her vic tories no less renowned than war." This country has had scarcer of greatness which has been marked not only by successful wars, but by marked victories in the domain of peace. Of this character, was the grand work which gave to us uur national constitution—the Union itself— out of the diversified elements and varying politi cal v;ews that distinguished the period of the fiat Confederacy during which the earlier Congresses deliberated. We have had high debates, issuing in the grand er results which flow from the deeper insight, of fundamental principles, the wider diffusion and the more complete settling of these principles in the minds and habits of the masses, and thus, a laying of foundations for the many imposing and durable superstructures, which to-day, excite the admiration, the wonder and the longings of the less-favored myriads of mankind. Our long catalogue of useful inventions, equally potent in peace and in war, is not to be forgotten nor omitted when we are counting up the constit uent agencies that have co-operated to the same general end. Inventions, which nave made us facile princepe—easily foremost, in all departments of human activity, both in peace and war,—mills, looms, motors, for land and sea—engineering, or dinance, arms, printing presses, telegraphs, tele phones and photography; implements of husband ry and science; of power and use and beauty, have been so multiplied among us, and by us, that we oan almost put Pelien upon Ossa, if not quite— and until no Nemean lion, npr British either, nor Olympian boar, nor Aegean stables, nor Credit Mobilier Schemes, nor shoddy contracts, nor Cor poration subeidies,nor Lernean hydra,nor any oth er hydras, need seriously mar our peace, disturb our prosperity, or impede our progress. It were a great mistake, indeed, to allow the blare of trumpets and of cannon, or any of the im bosing pomps and circumstance of war to blind or enumb us to the truth, that war only rises to a real dignity or merit when it embodies some val uable idea, essential to peace among men. There is no real, enduring lustre belonging to any battle field, or conflict that only demonstrates the relative muscular force, and material resour ces of the combatants. Ti this were all, the brutal bouts of the pugilist would be as noble as the bloody struggles of our Revolution. It was the triumph of the peace and glory of Israel over the barbarous heathenism of Puilistia that gave the world-wide reno,en to the combat of David with Goliath. It was the hard-earned vindication of the.great principles of human freedom, as declared in the Book of God, that made the war of the Revolution worthy of remembrance for all time. And it will not be denied that the consideration which gives eminent value to our tato civil conflict, is, that it gave a final settlement, among us, to some questions vital to human welfare and left open by our fathers, and put a. crowning finish up on the work of freedom which they had so well be gun. And it was the great, long-continued, and thorough preparation, of our almost century of peace; during which our printing presses, our schools, of instruction and invention—our pulpits —our forums, courts, legislatures, congresses and political campaigns—contributed their combined influence—that brought us to the present gratify ing, stupendous, and we trust abiding results. Re sults, which we believe, a now harmonized nation hails and accepts with genuine national joy. I say harmonized nation, because there are gratifying evidences that the nation, as such, is harmonized, whatever may be the opinions about the manner or means of its accomplishment. The single fact of the peaceful adjustment, and the popular ac ceptance of the adjustment, of the disputes arising out of the last hotly-contested Presidential elec tion is proof of this national harmony. The ac ceptance of such an adjustment would have been impossible seventeen years ago. Even au undis puted election then, was not accepted by a large part of oar nation. We live in better days. Joint tributaa of flowers to valiant dead in many of our national cemeteries, are further evidence that we are in the spring-tide of a happier age. And as I interpret these joint tributes of respect to the dead soldiers in our National Cemeteries, I appre hend that th signify a cordial acquiescence in 1 the historical results of the war. So far as my ob servation goes, it is the prevailing conviction even of those masses who fought against the Govern ment that greater blessings have come to us as a people by their failure, than could have been ob tained by their success. And with this spirit, it is entirely honorable, patriotic, statesmanlike and bravo for those who have been defeated while maintaining a bad or mistaken cause, to rejoice afterwards with those who saved them and theirs, from the ills-bringing success for which they strug gled. Personal ambitions may have been disap pointed. Personal ends may not have been react ed by some who sought them. But the grand fact remains, that the nation has been kept in the highway of true progress and in the safe pestession said exercise of the powers, rights, and opportuni ties that are most dear to us and to mankind. And here we may remale, e:iat it is not with any vain hope or p-ofiting the dead that we are here today. We corae, in these halcyon days of peace, to gath er new lessons for the living froze those who ago nized and expired amid the fearful throes of hor rid war. We come to refresh our memories con cerning the fearful cost at which our present com forts and quietude were purchased. We come to get some clearer understanding of the strong ma terials which enter into the structure of a really stable government. And we come to obtain help in acquiring correct ideas of the priceless heritage transmitted to ue by our fathers, saved to us by in calculably great sacrifices of blood and treasure— and then to have a quickening inspiration to the duties devolving upon us in our own behalf, in be hied of our posterity, and in behalf of the millions who, i . other lands, aspire and toil towards that balmy eminence that we have reached. Indeed the whole lesson of this day, and of these ceremonies is a lesson for the living. Doubtless, if the one-halt' million of dead warriors could speak to ue out of their Sepulchres, we should hear them say: "Oh, if superior virtue ye allow To us, be sure 'tie vital still in yon,— That trust like ours shall ever lift the brow, And strength like ours shall ever steel the sinew. We, we, are blossoms, which the storm has coot Vrona the Spring promise of our Freedom's ire,. Pruning its overgrowths, that so, at last, Its later fruit inure bonntiful shall be ! Con ten t, if, when the balm of Time assuages The branch's hurt, some fragrance of our lives In all tL land survives, And makes their memory sweet through still expand ing ages." ll—Let us, turn now briefly to consider a few of those things which have followed in the wake of the war, and which as its direct results we may contemplate with satisfaction. Bitter, bloody, dreadful, as that civil strife, out of whose throes came this fair holiday, was, it was not without salutary uses. Among other things, it developed to ourselves and to the world, our capabilities. Ethnologically speaking, it demonstrated our lineal affinity with the many multitudes of human kind who have sadly shown that sometimes hu man passion defies all restraints of reason, and ruthlessly and recklessly disdains all ties of social as well as political consanguinity, mingling all private enterprises, and all public peace, and all commercial prosperity in one common overthrow. Our capabilities in this direction, were demon strated with fearful conclusiveness, by many gory proofs. There can be no further doubt of our wealth in those human passions that may set na tions aflame, or shatter them into ruins. Passions, which misdirected, or unrestrained, work woful havoc; restrained, controlled, brought into sub jugation, and wisely used, make motive powers for grand and worthy action, and retributis e wrath for wicked deeds. In other directions, the nation's capabilities ap pear in the gigantic and successful efforts that it made co equip and drill its magnificent, army and navy, and supply all necessary, means for their effective operation. Out cf them came our nobm army of more than two millions of men. (2,073,- 113.) An army which had scarcely the shadow of a nucleus for a beginning. At the commencement of the late war we had only 16,006 men under arms. Six months after our work began, we had 700,000 men drilled,equipped and uniformed. If it was an evidence of the wonderful genius and en ergy of Napoleon in 1815, that by levies, drafts, and conscriptions, he doubled his army of 200,900 men in two months, what language shall we use to describe that almost incredible and sponta neous activity, which in two months, (Napoleon's time,) augmented, our army 14 (fourteen) fold—and in six months, more than 40 (forty) fold ; giving us in December, 1871, an invincible host of 700,000 men ? Thus rose our navy from its forty-two (42) ves sels in April, 1861, to its VA vessels in less than one year- and in a subseque , t year to 217 ships and 61 iron -clads, fully equi ped and manned. Thus swelled our Treasury from a "Cobb, with out its grain of corn," to the $1,805,939,345 for the one year of 1865. What language will ade quately describe this kind of national sapability ? Greater still does this prodigious energy appear when we note that in the first year of the war our financial force was increased seven-fold, and with in the three (3) following years, the seven-fold increase itself,was trebled. Thus rose our whole people from the congenial pursuits of peace, to the highest possible skill in all the exploits, man euvers, and accomplishments of war—from arta to arms—from patient endurance of wrong, to pa triotic• punishment of it—from the repose of a quiet, undemonstrative rest, to the gigantic deeds of magisterial and popular power that made the wide world echo and re-echo our name, and com manded from the nations an undisguised defer ence that amounted to applause. If when we were divided by internal feuds, and crippled by fraternal strife, we were capable of such prodigious efforts, on the field, in the fo rum, in finances, in agricultural pursuits, in man ufacturing industries atd commerce, who shall set bounds to our capabilities, as a nation, either for peace or war, when, delivered trona the disadvan tages and disabilities arising from discord, we concentrate our energies and resources with united hearts, to one common end ? As a fact, it is sim ply marvelous, when we consider what the nation has done, both for its surtenanee during the war, and for recuperation, since the war. In other words, both our productive power and our recuperative abilities as developed by, and since the war, are wonderful. If the figures dc not mislead un we have diminished our great war debt, in ten years so much as $340.951,542, an an nual average of $54,095,164. I could hardly credit the figures when I saw them. In other departments our productive power ap pears in the fact that, even during the war, when the drain upon our resources, and our producing population for soldiers, was so great, we were able to export of our growth, products and their imme diate manufaetures,quant;ties reaching a value of $931,956,583, an annual average exportation of 5156,391,316. Of this mate- .1 $384,104,797 was breadstuff, an annual average of $73,000,000 in round numbers. All this, while we carried on the war, and all this, exclusive of the cotton, sugar, and other products of the Southern part of oar laud. Another illustration of the same fact appears in this, that the production of our various bread stuffs, corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, and potatoes, rose steadily from 883 and one-half millions of bushels in 1863, an increase on the previous years, to 1,228,500,000, bushels in 1865. Our recuperative energy may be illustrated by the statement that in 1870 our corn crop alone was 200,000,000 of bushels more than the entire crop of breadetuffs in 1863. The entire crop of breadstuffs in 1870 was just about double that of 1865. Doubled thus in five years of peace. And our capacity for exports has increased, until it is equal to almost any probable demand. The ratio in this particular has more than doubled. The ac tual exportation has risen in wheat alone from 9& millions of bushels to 34& millions in 1870, and to nearly lee millions in 1876. Both our pro ductive and our recuperative resources appear to advantage in the records of our vast commerce. Although it is true that many considerations combine to modify the inferences to be drawn from our commercial transactions, yet it is true that when our exports noticeably exceed our im ports, and yield us large revenues of customs, there is an influx of coin into the country that must benefit us, sooner or later. In 1874 there was a change in this regard in our favor, amount ing to $10,000,000. In the last ten months the excess of exports over imports has been over $157,000.000. These improvements will doubtless continue. We must content ourselves with a mere mention of some other resulting benefits, namely : Ist. More correct and more generally prevalent views of the true scope of human rights and lib erty. And as a consequence, 2nd. Greater op portunities fur the intelligent discussion of every question pertaining to the welfare of mankind. 3d. The opening of a wider field for every indus try that human ingenuity may devise for the happiness and prosperity of the race. 4th. More just views touching capital and labor, their right relations, and the just rights and uses of both. 1. A dem publiO vi r t ue . On virtue can alone our country stand, ' On public virtue, every virtue Joined, ' For lost this social cement of mankind. The greatset empires by scarce felt degrees, Will moulder soft away; till tottering loose They prone, at last, to total ruin rush." In conclusion, may I not appropriately ask, is not such a country worth preserving? Are. not the principles, that made it such a country, worth perpetuating and defending ? Are not the men who rightly understood the value of those prin ciples, who foresaw, with wonderful forecast, their marvellous outcome, and who offered their lives to perpetuate them, to be regarded with high res pect and held in becoming remembrance ? We are not here to eulogize the living over the silent mounds of tha doad,but it is notout of place, but altogether proper, that while we pay our tri butes of love and gratitude to the dead we should not forget the heroes that survived the slain. "They, too, offered their lives, but the sacrifice was not required." In the language of another: "The admiration, love and gratitude of the nation will attend them as they pass down the declivity of time to honored graves." The story of their great deeds will never be for gotten, they will toll it to their children, and they again to theirs. It will live in the very life of our saved land. And while these living men are spar ed among us, they deserve to be faithfully remem bered and duly rewarded by the nation to which they contributed so much, that it might be saved. Finally. May we not unite our congratulations l i to-day, in view of the fact that at last, wears per mitted to see a genuine, practical, promising re union of our whole land. Let us also unite in the wish that there may soon come a real, hearty, na tional jubilee arising from the universal establish ment of a practical community of interest that shall make us a homogeneous people. A people bound together, by indissoluble ties of brotherhood, as we already are by common memories of a glo rious past. May our marvelous past be a perpet ual inspiration. May we press on to a matohlese future. May the Great King of Zion, under whose banner we have attained our present altitude of power and renown, be our God, and our Law-giver forever. And may our Union and our national life endure as long as human beings need a natioo al organization—ceasing only when no more bene factors are needed by the weak—when there &rano more wrongs to be righted—when there is no more good to be done—cease only with the expiring rays of the world's last sun. " Hosannas for a land redeemed, The bayonet sheathed, the cannot , dumb ; Passed, as some horror we have dreamed, The fiery meteors that once streamed, Threatening within our homes to come ! Again our banner floats abroad, Gone the one stain that on it fell— And bettered by His chastening red, With streaming eye■ uplift to God, We say, 'lts DOI2H ALL MSG/ WILL.' " A NEW PATENT GATE.—Richardson's Cen tennial Gate, patented Sept. sth, 1876, is pro nounced the cheapest and best gate used on tile farm. It can be made in an hour and only costs about $2.50. A large number of the IQading agriculturists of the county examined it at Elm station, during the Centennial, and in a certificate bearing date Sept. 28, 1876, they say : "Having thoroughly examined and tested Richardson's Centennial Gate, large size, fully endorse it as the best that has ever come to our notice. The large gate works as well as the model; the construction is simple; every farmer can make his own gate ; a child can handle it with ease; it is cheap, strong, and durable ; it will raise and swing over snow banks ; it does not sag the posts ; it will open up or down bill equally well ; it will divide large and small flocks ; it will fasten itself open when the wind blows We can cheerfully recommend this gate to farmers and all who use gates, and think it should come into gen ert.l use." "Forney's Press of October 7th, 1876, says : It is n gate, which, for cheapness, simplicity of construction and prrctical utility, is, beyond doubt, the best article in that line before the American people. There is no machinery about it to get out of order ; any farmer can make oue in an hour; it can be made, includ ing labor, for less than three dollars, and when made, the peculiar folding and flexible princi ple upon which it is made, not only makes it strong and durable, but enables it to be placed la such a position that it will admit the pas •-ige of small stock while preventing that of cattle."

The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of Hos tetter's Stomach Bittets promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is discarded. Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach be cause the gastric fluid is deficient, superabuud _ant or vitiated ;—the liver becomes congested and the bowels constipated because the supply of bile is inadequate or misdirected.' The Bitters rectifies all this, and removes every ill consequence of non-assimilation and bilious irregularity. Furthermore, it stimulates the action of the kidneys, by which impurities are so to speak, strained from the blood, and any tendency in the urinary organs to grow slug gish and disordered counteracted. Whether it be used as a means of regulating gastric or bilious secretion, and relieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote complete, and therefore healthful, urination, Hostetter's Bitters may be relied upon with confidence to accomplish the end in view. junel-lm.] THE HUNTINGDON SILVER, CORNET BAND.-We are pleased to know that initiatory steps have been taken towards the re-organi zation of the Silver Cornet Band. A meeting for this purpose was held at the residence of Mr. Michael Speice, on Tuesday evening last, when it was resolved to hold another meeting on Thursday night of this week for the elec tion of officers. At the time this organization disbanded it had no superior, and very few equals, in the State, and it was the pride of our town, but owing to a variety of circum stances it went to the wall, much to the re gret of this community. Nearly all the old members reside in town, and in a little while, if Prof. L. B. Kline will consent to accept the leadership--which we hope he will do—the. Huntingdon Silver Cornet Band will soon re sume its late position as one of the best mu sical organizations in the State. We wish the "boys" God-speed in their efforts to build up to its former enviable position this Band, the pride of every citizen of our town.
