There are a large number of people in
Huntingdon, who are really on the very verge
of starvation. They cannot get any employ
*lent And the high price of produce--flour
especially—makes it almost impassible for
them to obtain the necessaries of life.
The News thinks the reason why we have
not more summer tourists to remain with us,iu
the face of our splendid surroundings, is be
cause people do not talk them up. This is
not it. If we want people to summer with us
we must have water works and hotel accom
modetions not on the railroad.
The laboring men say that if any of the
gentlemen, who were anxious to appear con
spicuous in the I'late Glass Works movement,
and who have sickened on them, will step
down and out, they willi?romptly take their

encumhered with that kind of lumher.
Mr. M. Wilson writes na from Philadelphia
and requests us to correct a false impression
conveyed by his testimony as published in
the Reese Shade case. He says : "The SCOO
Reese demanded last August of Dr. Shade
were not owed Reese at all. You stated that
Dr. Shade owed Reese $600." We give Mr.
Wilson the benefit of the correction.
People are wending their way to Bedford
in comfortable numbers. The prospect is
good fig- a flush season. It is reported that
the Anderson heirs have au,horized the sale
of the Spring property—a power of attorney
for this purpose having been given to Wni.
Hartley, esq., or some other gentleman. If
this is so it will infuse new life into Bedford.
We understand that because the borough
authorities refused to be responsible for all
costs tine Policeman Westbrook arising out of
the arrest of persons unable to pay their own
costs, that gentleman tendered his resignation.
If this plan were adopted our borough would
soon he forced into bankraptcy, and we give
the council credit for their emphatic refusal
to pay any such bills.
The Globe says that we displayed "a won
derful amount of presumption" when we sta
ted that the JOURNAL famished either manu
script copy or proof sheets to all the other
offices in town during the progress of the
Reese trial. In the case of the Globe we did
even better than that ; we furnished it six
colunis of the evidence in type, and in view of
this fact its fling at our "presumption" is en
tirely gratuitous.
Mr. Geisainger has returned from Crystal
City, Missouri, whither Lc had gone to visit
the Plate Glass Works located at that point.
His report is higbly favorable. He has not a
doubt that for $200,000 we can establish as
fine works as the Crystal City Works, which
will pay from 25 to 50 per cent. on the invest
ment. They are now turning out about
2500 feet of the best quality of plate glass
per day at a cost of from 40 to 50 cents per
foot.
It is supposed that the Huntingdon Globe
will change hands this weeks, Prof. Gass re
tiring and Al. Tyliurst, esq., of the Tyrone
Herald, becoming the purchaser. We wish
all parties concerned long life and success in
whatever their hands and brains find to do.—
Prof. Guss intends giving attention to the
practice of law some where near the setting
sun. He has resolved to go West and grow

never want for clients.
Now it the time to build Water Works.—
Labor is cheap and money can b borrowed
in the east for a nominal interest. Remember
hundreds of our working people are out of
employment and if no effort is made to give
them work food will have to come from some
where. Necessity knows no law. We say
this iu all kiadoess. It is better that the
community find employment than that a few
liberal men bear all the burden. It will only
be the interest on the money that N 1 ill be. re
quired for many years.
The hot weather came down on us last week,
thick and fast, and with it came our genial
friqd, Frank Higgins, esq., City Editor of that
able Democratic daily, the Pittsburgh Post.
Ah, we like Frank ; he is a good fellow. and
when he told us that he had been afishing
and didn't catch a tail we could hardly believe
the fish were so stupid as not to take a fancy
to him and bite handsomely, but then it is not
to be supposed that fishes are always judges
of a good fellow and will willingly sacrifice
themselves for his gratification.
It is strange what a penchant some men
have to be puffed t They never think a news
paper of any interest or importance unless
they find their name in it standing out, in bold
relief, once a week or at least once a month.
They appear to think that the public is craving
to bear from or about them, and that the
world cannot survive a single day without
speaking of them. This kind of thing
sickens us. We can puff a man two, three,
four or even five times, but when it comes
more frequently our stomach revolts.
The rumor of a heavy defalcation in the
management of the Pennsylvania railroad,
which created so much excitement and in
tense interest here a week or two ago, has
subsided. What was the cause of it we do
not know nor do we care. Those who have
closely watched the minor affairs of the road
for years, as we have done, could hardly help
but come to the conclusion that there was
scarcely a pound of iron, or a ton of ballast,
or a single tie put upon the road in which
there was not a "divy" for some one or more,
but it was none of our funeral. It is this
sort of thing, however, that creates a want of
confidence.
Quite a number of legal luminaries wended
their way to Bedford to attend au argument
court announced for the 10th inst. The case
of the Bedford Bar vs. Greevy, rule to show
cause why the latter should not be stricken
from the bar for contempt was the cause of
the legal advance upon the quiet old town.—
Tom Collins, the veeitable Thomas went
up to write down all that was said and
done.
P. S. Since the above was put in type we
learn that when this matter was reached, on
the argument list, Judge Hall quietly folded
up the papers in the case and deliberately
stowed them away in his capacious pocket,
unconcernedly remarking, that he would ex
amine them at his leisure. Then the "King of
France who with twice ten thousand men, had
marched up the bill, marched down again."
Whereupon "General" Speer, of li_patingdon,
and Counsellor Tapley, of Philadelphia, and
lion. John Cessna, of Bedford, all got "jolly"
and fell back, in some confusion, on Bedford
Springs and consoled themselves with Bedford
(fire) water. Let the Band play.
SENTENCE OF C. A. REESE.—CreSSWCII
A. Reese, convicted of murder in the second
degree, iu shooting Dr. J. A. Shade, on the
2nd of December last, was on Friday evening
last, sentenced to an imprisonment of Ten
Years.
A very urgent appeal was made in behalf of
the prisoner, for judicial clemency, by his
counsel, Messrs. Speer and Bailey, both of
whom addressed the Court at some length.
The ground of argument was the mitigating
circumstances thrown around the ease the
weakness of the prisoner's mind, the provocsi
tions to which he was subjected and the want
of malice and premeditation or of any inten
tion to use a deadly weapon.
The argument was replied to by Messrs.
Dorris and Woods in behalf of the Common
wealth.
The Court, in delivering the sentence, ad
dressed the prisoner as follows :
You are before us, after a very long and fair
trial, iu which you had every advantage which
an accused man could have, for the purpose
of showing innocence or raising a doubt as to
your guilt. The jury, composed, as has been
said by the counsel on both sides, of intelli
gent and discreet men have found you guilty
of murder in the second degree, and while
that verdict meets with the cordial and deci
ded approval of the Court—including the three
members—it is very doubtful whether if it had
been fur a higher offense it would have been
disturbed by the Court. I do not know, in
view of all the evidence, that we would have
felt it our duty to have interfered with it.
That it was not murder in the first degree was
owing to the fact that there was some dis
crepancy in the evidence, as to what took
place immediately prior to the shot. In the
evidence there is a failure, on the part of the
Commonwealth, to make out just what took
place an instant or two before. But there were
so many things in the case, outside of that,
pointing to a higher crime, that we could not
have felt it our duty to have disturbed the
verdict if it had been murder in the first de
greet that it was not, Is due to the discrepancy
spoken of in the evidence, and to the able pre
sentation of your case by your counsel, who
gave you the greatest degree of professional
skill, and the utmost attention to the case.
We have never seen a more effective presen
tation of a man's case to a jury than that made
by your counsel, and this circumstance, and
this slight lameness—if it may be so called—
in the evidence of the Commonwealth, as to
the elements of murder in the first degree, re
sulted in the jury finding you guilty of murder
in the second degree ; that is, they had a doubt,
as would seem from their verdict, under the
instructions given them by the Court, as to
whether there its that premeditation and
deliberation, the essential elements required
by the law to constitute murder in the first
degree, and in giving you the benefit of that
doubt, they dropped to murder in the second
degree. As before said, we concur in that
verdict. Had Dr. Shade sought you it would
have presented a different case ; but here, as
it stands out in the case, is the bald fact, of
terrible significance, that you, with a loaded
fire arm, and with threats in your mouth,
sought him. It may be, we hope it is so, that
you did not seek him to kill him ; it may be
that you sought him for the purpose of recon
ciliation, and failing in that, and aroused by
provocation on his part, you, without pre
meditation and deliberation, used the deadly
weapon which you had on your person. This
may be so, and we hope it is. The jury had
a doubt as to whether premeditation and de
liberation eNkted, and the verdict before its
murder in the second degree ; but with the
fact before us that you sought him with a
loaded fire arm, we cannot get clear of our
plain duty, that of imposing on you a severe
penalty. In doing so we do not yield to any
clamor on the part of the public, or any pop
ular indignation ; we yield only to a duty,
which our conscience tells us we must per
form, that of notifying all persons who have
not control of their temper, that they must
leave their fire arms and deadly weapons be
hind them when they go out, for any purpose,
to seek their fellow men.
The sentence of the Court is, that you pay
the costs of prosecution, and undergo an hn
prisonrnent,py separate aed solitary confine
ment, at hard labor, in the Western Peniten
tiary, in the county of Allegheny, for the term
of ten years. The Sheriff is directed to re
move you within ten days.
The prisoner received the sentence with
composure, and at the conclusion remarked
to the Court: "I went there that day as in
nocent as a child unborn in regard to what
happened after I got there, and if I have to
suffer for it in the penitentiary, of course I
submit to the law."
THE RECORD OF A Busy LIFE.—Thom
as Burchinell was born at Chestertown, Kent
county, Maryland, November 2d, 1811, ai.d
died at his residence, near Hollidaysburg,
after a painful illness of three months, July
Ist, 1877, in the 6Gth year of his age. Tues
day, July 3d, his mortal remains were con
veyed to Huntingdon and interred in the cem
etery at that place with Masonic boners, a
delegation of the brethren from this place
acting as pall bearers. In view of the activi
ties of his life, and the many works that do
live after him, it is proper that the STANDARD
should take more than passing notice of his
life and death.
Mr. Burchinell was born on a farm and was
surrounded be such opportunities for a life of
comparative indolence as few young men
could resist. But his active nature demanded
more stirring scenes than rural life can afford,
and, relinquishing the farm to his sisters, he
wont to Baltimore and there thoroughly mas—
tered all the details of the carpentering trade.
Entering into business in Baltimore for him
self, be finally concluded to strike out for the
great west, and having taken a preliminary
trip to St. Louis to spy out the laud, re
turned for his family. On the way west he
chanced to stop at Huntingdon for a few days.
The cholera broke out in St. Louis at this
time, and, acting on the advise of friends, he
concluded to settle in Huntingdon.
Tints it happened that he 'entered the ser
vice of the Pennsylvania railroad company in
1849 as master builder, a position which he
held for many years. He superintended and
planned the construction of the buildings of
the Peensylvania railroad company at Hun
tingdon and at intermediate points as far west
as Cresson and beyond, fur at one time he had
general charge of all the improvements be
tween Huntingdon and Pittsburgh. All, or
nearly all,the bridges between Huntingdon and
Tyrone were built by him. lie built the
Mountain Uouse at Y Switches, in 1850 or
1851, and afterwards removed and re-built it
at Cresson. He put up the large round house
at Altoona. He planned and built the Logan
House, and, as well, the Superintendent's
office and other buildings as they originally
stood. Much more Mr. Burchiuell did while
in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad
company of honest work. Ile milyist have
retired with a competency. He choose to
leave the service of the company with but
little wordly wealth, but with that priceless
treasure, a clear conscience.
In 1859 he removed to Hollidaysburg where
he engaged in the manufacture of brick. lie
also had charge of the hauling of the cars of
the Pennsylvania railroad company at this
point—done then by horses instead of steam.
In 1865 he' returned to Huntingdon where lie
bought Cyprus Island and erected a planing
mill, which he carried on until'lB7s. In 1876
he returned to his farm near 'Hollidaysburg,
where he remained in retirement until death
called hint hence.
Mr. Burchinell was a man of great insight
into character. More than one man there rs
to-day living in oppulence who owes his rise
in the world to the kindly penetration of Mr.
B. Whenever he saw talent be utilized it.
Ho gave every man a chance. Nothing pleas
ed Lim better than to discern and develop the
capabilities of the humblest workman. Many
there are who will ever cherish the fondest
recollections of his memory.
He was a good citizen. In good works he
was no laggard. The Altoona Mechanics'
Library was founded by him. He helped to
organize the Altoona public schools. In
many other ways he showed that busy men
need not neglect their duty to the community.
But, best of all, be was a Christiu. He
embraced religion and connected himself with
the M. E. church in 1827, and for about fifty
years held fast to his profession. He was one
of the founders of the first M. E. church, Al
toona. His home was always open to the
itinerant. According to his ability he gave
liberally for the promotion of the gospel. In
his last hours he knew in whom he trusted.
His end was peace.
Looking at this record of a completed life,
we feel that those who yet tarry on these
mortal shores need no words of consolation.
It is only in accordance with the order of na
ture and the feelings of the human heart that
the bereft ones should Mourn, and yet there
is occasion rather for rejoicing. As the sons,
who bear this worthy name, contemplate the
virtues of him who is not, because God bath
taken him, may we not commend to them, as
to all young men,
an imitation of those traits
of character which rendered Thomas Burch i
nell a useful man in his day and generation,
and which handed him down to his grave in
peace with no clouds across the horizon of
the future ?—llollidayaburg Standard.
ALLENTOWN FEMALE COLLEGE.— Tenth
Annual Commencement.—The tenth annual
commencement of this flourishing institution
was held in llagenbuchs' opera house, on the
evening of June 29. The audience was large,
and the commencement a success. The grad
uating class consisted of six members, each
one of whom read an essay, which spoke well
for the literary culture of the school. We
can give merely an outline of the exercises.
The Salutatory was read by Miss Amanda
Laucks, of York, Penu. Iler thoughts were
fine, and her manner easy and graceful.
The next essay, by Miss Ella Lockman, Al
lentown, was entitled "The Coming Century."
This was a sort of burlesque, and delighted
the audience. The young lady entered fully
into the spirit of her essay.
Miss Lillie Daunenhaur came next on the
programme, as essayist. She ta.lked on "Women
of Eminence," and did it in a most delightful,
womanly way.
Miss S. Oma Koplin, Catasanqua, Penn.,
spoke of "Our Alma Mater and the Alumnae."
She evidently meant every word she uttered.
Iler manner was easy and graceful.
Miss Annie M. Newhard, Allentown, chose
for her subject the class motto "Non Munstrari,
sed ministrare."
The literary productions compared favorably
with those of older institutions ; and all were
read so clearly and distinctly that persons in
the most remote part of the hall could hear
every word. This, no doubt, is owing to the
excellent elocutionary training of the pupils
received.
This institution is under the care of a
classes of the Reformed Church, and though
young, has already done much towards giving
her daughters a strong Christian education.
The Principal, Rev. %V. R. Ilofford, A. M.,
is a man eminently fitted for his place.
We must not forget to speak of the musical
part of the commencement exercises. At the
head of this department is a young lady who
has had wonderful success as a teacher. The
progress of the pupils during the last year
was very marked. The institution may well
congratulate itself on having procured the
services of so accomplished a musician.

What the Bilious Require.
Since torpidity ofthe liver is the chief cause
of its disorder, it is evident that what the bil
ious require is an alterative stimulant which
will arouse it to activity, an effect that is
followed by the disappearance of the various
symptoms indicative of its derangement.
llostetter's Stomach Bitters invariably achieve
the primary result mentioned, besides remov
ing the constipation, flatulence, heart-burn,
yellowness of the skin and whites of the eyes,
pain in tile right side and under the right
shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache,
to which bilious invalidsare peculiarly subject.
As a remedy fur chronic indigestion, mental
despondency and nervousness the Bitters are
equally efficacious, and as a renovant of lost
vigor, a means of arresting premature decay,
and a source of relief from the infirmities to
which the gentler sex is peculiarly subject,
they may be thoroughly relied upon. Dy-lm

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Estrus JoußNAL—Dear Sie :—The long and
interesting trial of Reese for the murder of Dr.
Shade on the second day of Dec. last has just
closed, and while the culprit is not going to re
ceive the punishment we thought his crime justly
merited, still we are satisfied as long as he ii not
turned loose in our midst. We were astonished
during the trial at the amount of sympathy that
was manifested in his behalf. I cannot account for
this unless it is because murder has become so
common in our county that some people take but
little account of it; to our mind it was as calm
and deliberate a murder as ever was committed in
our country, and while I have no sympathy for
Reese, I must say it is a pity of those who were
so anxious for his acquittal that they are going
to be deprived of his society for so long.
Mr. Editor, as murder has become so common
in our county the thought naturally arises in the
mind who will be the next to steep his hands in
the blood of his fellows, and who will be the
victims? We say it is fearful the way this crime
is increasing in our midst, and to our astonish
ment. notwithstanding this fact, in conversing with
na)ple during the Reese trial, on this subject, we
hod nearly one half of our citizens opposed to
capital punishment. And we find people intelli
gent on almost any other subject, grossly ignorant
of the Bibles' teachings on this greet evil, shed
ding of blood. Many will say that we have no
authority in the New Testament for taking the
life of the manslayer. Now it is not oar intention
to enter intu an argument on this question in this
otief article, bat we will refer to a few tests to
show that this is all a mistake. (teneeis
-Whoso shedd2th man's blood, by man shall his
blood be shed : for in the image of God made he
wan." You will see here the reason is given why
the manslayer should be put to death, it is nut
because he takes the life of his fellow but that he
bears God's image, was made in his likeness, this
is the reason that God has such an abhorrance
of the shedding of blood and has attached to it
this severe penalty. God has emplanted in our
very natures a disposition to carry out this law.
Cain knew this when God before he hail made the
law referred to above passed sentence on him, he
says to the Lord "my punishment is greater than
I ran bear. Behold then liast driven rue out this
day from the fare of the earth, and from thy face
shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth: and it :hall come to pass
that every one that findeth me shall slay me."—
To prevent Cain from being thus slain God put a
mark upon him, what that mark was no one can
tell, perhaps God made his appearance so fright
ful that no one felt like touching him. It would
seem from the narrative here that there was no
repentance or pardon for Cain, and we exceed
ingly doubt whether any man who calmly and
maliciously murders his fellow man, will ever be
forgiven. There is an unpardonable sin, a sin
unto death, a sin that we are nut to pray for, and
who can tell bat this is it.
The Bible says we are not to pity the murderer
—that is we are not to let our sympathy prevent
us from punishing him as the Bible has com
manded us. As a general thing it is not the best
people who are opposed to capital punishment.—
Skeptics, are generally opposed to it. I have now
briefly shown the punishment for murder in the
Old Testament scriptures and I call upon those
who say we have no authority for capital punish
ment in the New Testament scriptures to show us
when this law was repealed. What does our Sa
viour say when he comes, "Think not that I am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill." We must
confess that we are unable to ace when, and where,
Christ changed the punishment for the crime of
murder in the new dispensations. lie says on a
certain occasion, "Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, thou shalt not kill; and who
soever shall kill shall be in danger of the judg
ment. But I say unto to you that whosoever is
angry with his brother without a cause shall be
in danger of the judgment." We may learn from
this scripture that men will he held accountable
under the new dispensation for sins that were
passed by under the old. God holds men ac
countable in a measure for their sins according to
the light and knowledge given them, and it would
be very unreasonable to suppose that our Saviour
would abrogate the punishment fur murder under
the full sunlight of the Gospel. Again Paul in
his Epistle to Timothy reminds him of this law
that some of the modern theologians says has
been abrogated 'Knowing this, that the law is
not made for the righteous man, but fir the law
less and disobedient, fur the ungodly and for sin
ners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of
fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslasers."
Paul again acknowledged the justness of capital
punishment when he was on trial by saying, "It'
I have done anything worthy of death I refuse
not to die."
Those opposed to capital punishment rill tell
us that imprisonment is a worse punishment than
hanging, this is all a mistake, the devil knew
better than this when he said of Job, "Skin fur
skin, all that a mat bath will he give for his life."
And it has been discovered in countrys where
they abolished capital punishment that the crime
of murder increased, there is no doubt it will have
that effect. I write this article Mr. Editor to
agitate this important subject in order that we
may look at it intelligently front the Bible stand
point. Murder has become so common in our
county that almost any jury drawn from our jury
box may have to decide a murder case, is it nut
important then that every man should be posted
on this important subject so that ho cannot he
led away from justice ty able and designing
lawyers—oar personal safety aril the safety of
our families require this. Would it not be well
for every Ministers of the Gospel in our county
(who believe in capital punishment) to preach a
sermon on the subject. We believe the minister
who fails to do this fails to declare the whole
counsel of God. Why is it that we scarcely ever
hear a sermon on capital punishment. In more
than fifty years we have only heard one, and then
had to travel more than ten miles to hear it. Paul
(in the scripture quoted above) was evidently re
minding Timothy of the importance of preaching
this doctrine, and we would urge ministers in our
county and every where to take up this subject in
the pulpit and show the people how God has ever
abhored the shedding of human blood, and as the
blood of righteous Able cried to God for vengeance
on his murderer, so does the blood of the slain
to-day, and that it is impossible for God in his
justice to look upon this sin with the least degree
of allowance, or in any way mitigate its punish
ment. If ministers of the Gospel will thus present
this subject to their hearers we venture to say that
we will have fee - er disbelievers in capital punish
ment and much less blood shed. JUSTICE.
OUR COURT HOUSE.
Mr. Editor :—The recent trial gave a new em
phasis to some facts which were not without promi
nence before. It did not need the late crowded
trial to convince the people that our Court House
auight La inuah imirrovoil I..rhaps ought to be.
Ought there not to be an enlargement at the
north end—an enlargement which would also be
an improvement? Access to the Judges bench,
to the bar, and to the jury boxes, would be much
more easy from the rear, for the judges, the law
yers, the witnesses, the jurors, and, not least, for
the officers, sheriff, constables, and court police.
It is not desirable for the judges, the lawyers, the
jurors, the witnesses, the sheriff and his prisoners,
to pass poll met (in the latter mentioned case a
sq - are and a half further) to their respective
places through and among the thronging crowds.
And why should there not be commodious rooms
in the rear for ladies to resort to, where a breath
of fresh air could be had, some rest when tired,
and other reliefs so much needed by persons at
tending the sessions of court? On the other side
of the Judges bench, ought there not to be one or
two chambers or rooms to which juries, officers
and members of the Court and Bar could retire to
consult a taw Library, perhaps, to talk to each
other, or to confer with witnesses? Pure water,
conveyed in pipes, for washing and drinking would
be also a needful convenience. And why also
would it not be a merciful provision for jurors to
provide dormitories and a refectory in some well
ventilated part of the Court House building (or in
a separate one near it) where jurors especially,
and others whe must remain for days together at
a trial, could have nice, savory meals, and re
freshing beds, each one having his choice of a
single or double bed as suited him ? A wise care
of the outward man would thus promote a cheer
ful, healthy and judicious working of the inner
man, and go far to prevent undue haste and un
wise -erdicts. Side entrances and a higher ceil
ing, provided with a skylight, or dome ventilator,
would further improve the comfort and general
appearance of the building. Perhaps these in
quiries and suggestions may lead some persons,
Netter qualified than the writer, to devise and
propose something better. SPECTATOR.
