At a meeting of the stockholders of

last, Messrs. Geissinger and Brown, who bad
been visiting several western glass works,

able and very satisfactory.
A few days ago we sent out an even four
hundred duns, since then it is astonishing what
a number of people find that they cannot pay
for the paper at present, and want it stopped
until they can pay. Strange they did not
think of it several years ago.
Our young friend, David S. Black, we un

Since the finding of the leg of inatton in a
cellar, in West Huntingdon, over which the
News went off half cocked, the little folks
hear, almost daily, of the finding of babies—
not dead ones—but real live ones. And it
puzzles them amazingly to know where they
come from.
• Some wag, with no fear of the law or rever
ence for the powers that be, scratched out the
first two letters on the posters headed "Borough
Tax." The "Rough Tax" became not only
prominent but literal. There is a fine of just
ten dollars and ten days imprisonment for
this sort of joking.
Attorney General Lear has hunted up an
old law which be says imposes a tax of a
quarter of one per cent. on the capital stock
of all the building associations in the State.
He has accordingly advised the Auditor Gen
eral to proceed to collect the tax, and associa
tions are being notified to pay up.
The laboring anti other people should call
a meeting at the Court House, and appoint a
committee to wait upon every person in town
and request them to sign a petition to the
Council praying that body to submit the ques
tion of Water Works to another vote. Let
the petition be made a mile long if necessary.
By an order of Council the gutter, leading
from a punip in front of the residence of Geo.
11. Glazier, esq., on Church street, has been
filled up, which leaves the premises of Mr.
Glazier in a terrible plight, and after every
rain that neighborhood presents the appear
ance of a miniature sea. The evil should be
remedied some way.
An old fisherman tells us how to catch black
bass, which are now in season. Black bass,
he says, "will first nibble gently at the bait
and n ill frequently draw the float away under
water. But wait—the float comes back—sud
denly he seizes it and darts off. Don't pull—
give him play—suddenly he stops—he swal
lows the bait slowly. Now a quick pull and
you have him."
The Local News is in error in saying that
the Globe was established by Mr. Lewis. It
was established, if our memory is not at fault,
by Messrs Mytinger & Gensel, and published
by them up to the death of Mr. Goose!, whoa
Mr. Mytinger became the sole editor and pub
lisher, and continued to occupy that position
till the paper passed into the hands of our old
friend and preceptor, Mr. Lewis.
The Marches, of this place, have gone into
business at Mapleton. They are making every
honorable effort to retrieve their fortunes and
we admire their pluck. They were badly
swamped here when they ought not to have
been, and their efforts to extricate themselves
should receive the commendation of all good
citizens. The people about Mapleton will
find them energetic and clever. May they
win.
Petitions are in circulation, and are being
numerously signed, asking the Council to
order an election to give Hi!, citizens of Hun•
tingdou an opportunity to express themselves
in favor of or against the building of a small
reservoir and the laying of a main water-pipe
along Mifflin or Church streets, as may here
after be determined upon. Let an election be
ordered and let the result be ten to one in
favor of the improvement.
The Johnstown Tribune says there has been
an abundance of chin music on the matter of
Glass works in this place and suggests that
the work bad better begin. It will be some
time before real work commences. There are
too many pretenders identified with the affair,
people who want to have the credit of aiding
and who would sink the project out of sight
in a moment if there especial axe did not re
ceive attention. The project will only succeed
when it has a head. We vote for Mr. Gohert.
The dead body of a tiny infant was found
in the Juniata river, opposite this place, on
Fridr,y last, by sonic boys engaged in fishing.
The body was neatly pinned in muslin, and
gave evidence of having been in the water for
some time. The case was reported to Esquire
Murray, and a physician called to examine the
body, who gave it as his opinion that the
child had been still-born. Who the unnatural
mother was, who thus disposed of her off
spring, is a mystery. The Squire gave the
remains burial.
Mr. L. S. Geissinger read the report of hie
visit to Crystal City Plate Glass Works before
a meeting held in the Court House, on Satur-
day evening last, which did him much credit.
It was universally commended. We would
take great pleasure in laying it before our
readers did our space permit. We examined
it with a view to publishing a synopsis but
we could not see how to do so without marring
the whole. Mr. Geissinger is confident that
$250,000 will furnish all the capital that will
be required for putting the works on a sub
stantial footing.
Two years ago, in March last, or thereabouts,
Rev. Mr. Dunlap, of Cassville, paid up his
JOURNAL and directed it to be discontinued,
at a certain date, as he was about to remove
to New Bloomfield, and at the time specified
we forgot to strike it off, and it has gone on
to Cassville for two years and three months,
the Postmaster never calling our attention to
the matter until we sent out a dun. Who is
to lose this subscription ? Who has been re
ceiving and reading this man's JOUR.NAL ? Mr.
Dunlap has no right to pay, but the parties
who have been using it have.
The Impleasant odor produced by perspire
tion i., frequently the source of vexation to
persons who are subject to it. Nothing is
simpler than to remove this odor much more
effectually than by the application of such in
gredients and perfumes as are in use. It is
only necessary to procure some of the com
pound spirits of ammonia and place two table
sponsful in a basin of water. Washing the
face, hands and arms with this leaves the
skin as clean and fresh as one could wish.—
The wash is perfectly harmless and very cheap.
It is recommended on the authority of an ex
perienced physician.
THE LATE JUDGE TAYLOR.—From
the Historical Address of Hon. John Dean,
President Judge of the 24th Judicial District,
composed of the counties of Huntingdon, Blair
and Cambria, delivered on the occasion of the
dedication of the new Court-House, in Holli
daysburg, on the 2d inst., we clip the follow
ing eloquent tribute to our late distinguished
townsman, Hon. George Taylor :
It seems like repeating a "tale that is told"
to speak of him in presence of the bars of
Huntingdon, Cambria and Blair, in whose
presence for twenty-two years he presided.
During all this time, but especially during the
first years of his judicial life, his judgments
were so just, and the opinions by which he
sustained them so lucid and logical, that they
are mile stones in the law, and models of judi
cial writing. In that long time his integrity
was never questioned, even by disappointed
lawyers or litigants. Mistaken lie may have
been, doubtless at times was, but he always
sought to arrive at the truth—tried to hold
the scales even, and if, at times, he erred, or
at times was procrastinating in C. A. V. de
cisions, it only shows that be was not perfect.
Sometimes he would try the patience of 'twit
ors and counsel by cogitating over a legal
question for months, and this one failing (or
virtue as some contend,) as aJudge, is the on
ly one in the years I practiced before him I
ever heard complained of. A man of wonder
ful patience and self-command, he was of most
sensitive temper if this peculiarity were ever
hinted at. I remember in 1850, on the trial of
an ejectment, Langham and wife against Stil
ler et. al. involving the question as to whether
a sale by the Sheriff on execution of the life
estate of the husband in the wife's land, prior
to the act of 1848, would pass the wife's right
of possession, he so forcibly impressed me with
his sensitiveness on this subject that I never
forgot it. I was counsel for Langham and wife,
the plaintiff's ; our esteemed Chairman, Mr.
Banks, was of counsel for defendant; the evi•
deuce was all in and facts undisputed. Mr.
Banks opened and argued to the Court, that
whatever doubt there may have been as to the
regularity of such sales prior to the 24th of
January, 1849, at that time the legislature
passed an act declaring all such sales good and
valid. In reply I cited Gordon vs. Ingraham,
Ist Grant, in which the Supreme Court de
clare (Judge Black dissenting,) the act uncon
stitutional. Judge Taylor said he was not
clear that case ruled the one before him, but
he would reserve the point and direct a verdict
for the plaintiff. I being rather young, rose
to my feet and mildly suggested that my cli
ent, Solomon Langham, had been trying for
20 years to get his land, and therefore we
would like "His Honor" to decide the point
now, as it was very inconvenient to wait long
er. In an instant, in the most emphatic man
ner, he brought his fist down on the bench and
in a loud tone said: "I will decide this point
when I am ready and whet. I please, and will
not be driven by any lawyer." Startled by his
tone, manner and expression, confused and
not a little frighten ,, !., I sat down. Not aware
before that of his extreme sensitiveness, I
could not gather my thoughts sufficiently to
make the proper apology and disclaimer ; but
my kind hearted antagonist, Mr. Banks, who
was older and knew "many things" I did not,
seeing my discomfiture, but not rejoicing there
at, rose and said that the opposite counsel had
nu intention o: saying anything insulting, nor
of even intimating any want of promptness in
the court's decisions upon reserved points,
but, as he well knew, I had a very pestering
client, of whom, doubtless, I was anxious to
be relieved by a decision one way or the oth
er. In a moment the storm was over and the
atmosphere calm and bright. The Judge an
nounced he would take the papers and decide
the point as soon as be got home. He decided
it in about three years by entering judgment
in my favor on the verdict. It was his one
failing—one to which our profession seems pe
culiarly prone—the one possessed, in a mark
ed degree, by one of the greatest Judges iu
this or any other Commonwealth, the late
Judge King of Philadelphia. But in the long
years Judge Taylor sat on this bench how sel
dom, comparatively, was there any exhibition
of this infirmity. With patience inexhaustible
he sat pleasantly through the most tedious
trials, seemingly only anxious that all the law
and evidence bearing on the issue should be
carefully heard and considered. Be would
patiently hear, but would not be pressed to a
hurried decision. And woe be unto the ver
dant young lawyer who attempted to press
him The older ones never tried it. But when
we look over the records of his 22 years' work
on the bench of this court, when we see his
judgments and opinions illuminating these
records with the clear, pure light of mercy,
goodness and truth, the little blot dropped
there by his one infirmity is scarcely visible.
"He delivered the poor that cried, and the
fatherless, and him that had none to help
him."
A HUNTINGDON COUNTY HORSE THIEF
CAUGHT.—Stewart Walker, a younger brother
of the notorious horse thief, Matt. Walker has
got himself into a peck of trouble by stealing
a valuable mare in Clinton county. The
Walker brothers reside in Manor Hill, this
county, and by their thieving propensities are
a terror to the community in which they live.
From the Harrisburg Patriot, of Monday morn
ing last, we extract the following telegram :
"CURWENSVILLE, Pa., July 15.—0 n the night
of July sth Stewart Walker, a horse thief, en
tered a stable owned by Senator S. H. Peale,
Lock Haven, Pa., and stole therefrom Mr.
Peale's saddle mare, valued at $5OO. He was
followed by Deputy Sheriff Westbrook and
Constable Harvey from Lock Haven, through
Centre county, to Clearfield, and at a point
named Stoneville, in Clearfield county, was
surrounded by citizens but made his escape,
and headed for Brookville. where he expected
a horse race on Saturday, the 14th. On Friday
night Westbrook telegraphed ahead and bad
the road guarded, and at 2 o'clock a. m.
Walker made his appearance in Curwensville,
where two men made an attempt to arrest
him. In an instant Walker turned the horse
and crossed the bridge on the south side of
the river and followed the road leading to
Cherry Tree for about four miles, when be
was followed by two men named Enos and
Alfred Bloom, who routed Walker from a
thicket near Bloomington. Walker starting
to run, the Blooms fired three rifle shots, the
last of which took effect in the left side, cut
ting the left lung. Walker then surrendered
and told the party where the mare was, and
at eight o'clock Saturday evening the Blooms
arrived here with the horse and thief, who
are now in charge of the officers who followed
them from Lock Haven."
FRI(IIITFUL ACCIDENT.—A Man Has
Both Legs Cut Of.—About 11 o'clock, on
Thursday night of last week, Mr. Frank Mille
ken, who resided in Walker township, about
one mile from thisborougb,was found lying on
the railroad nearly opposite the foot of 6th St.,
with both legs, aboe the knees, sever , ' from
the body, besides being injured on other parts
of his person. The cause of the accident can
only be surmised, as no person witnessed it.
Mr. Milleken left home with the intention of
going to Port Royal, Juniata county, in quest
of work, and it is the general opinion that he
was watching his opportunity to board a
freight train, and while he was crossing the
track for that purpose was caught by a train
on the North track. Ile was removed t.) a
room in the old depot, and the company's
surgeon, Dr. R. R. Weistling, summoned, who
did all in his power to relieve him of his suf
fering. his wife was notified, and soon after
was by his side, where she remained till his
death, which occurred at 5 o'clock on Satur
day morning. The deceased was a sober, in
dustrious man, and leaves a wife and seven
children, in indigent circumstances, to mourn
his shocking death. The remains were taken
to Port Royal, for interment, on Saturday af
ternoon.
This terrible accident should serve as
warning to all others to keep off the railroad.
The most careful person is liable to be killed
of maimed for life, who ventures to walk on
this datigeFous thoroughfare. Keep off the
track I

JUNTATA VALLEY MEDICAL ASSOCIA
TION.—The second annual meeting of the
Juniata Valley Medical Association was held
at Newton Hamilton, on the "Camp Ground"
Jte.y 12th, 1877. This Association is composed
of the regular practitioners of medicine in
the counties of Blair, Bedford, Huntingdon,
Mifflin, Juniata and Perry, only members of
county societies being eligible to member
ship. The annual meeting is held in July of
each year, and partakes more of a social than
a scientific character, being combined with a
"Basket Picnic" to which the members bring
their ladies or families and also invited guests.
This meeting was called to order id Circle
No. 2, of the capacious and beautiful grounds
of the J. V. C. M. A., at 11 a. M., by Dr. J. W.
VanValzah of Lewistown, one of the Vice
Presidents. lie was assisted during the ses
sions by Dr. Crawford Irwin of Hollidaysburg,
the centennial President of the Penna. State
Medical Society. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Moore of McVeytown. The minutes of the
regular and special meetings were read by the
Secretary, Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh of [hinting
don, and approved. Drs. John M. M'Culloch
of Huntingdon, Prof. Wm. Goodell, and 'J.
Gemmill of Ph Bedell))) ia,were elected Honorary
members. A busy session was held until the
adjournment for refreshments, when the
members with their ladies, wives and families
and invited guests to the number of 200 re
paired to one of the large boarding tents on
the ground where a sumptuous repast was
provided for all present by the ladies.
At l o'clock the Association re-assembled
in the Tabernacle Circle where an address was
delivered by the presiding officer ; a paper
read by Dr. J. N. Richards of Bedford county,
a report of a case made by D. S. M. Ress of
Altoona, and by request of the Association
addresses were made by Prof. Goodell and Dr.
Gemmill of Philadelphia, Dr. M'Culloch of
Huntingdon, Messrs. T. M. Ultley, J. A. McKee,
and Dr. Atkinson of Lewistown, and Revs.
Moore, Mathers and Dr. Mitchell, for which
each speaker received the thanks of the As
sociation.
The officers'e!ected for the coming year are
President. Dr. J. I. Marks of Lewistown, Vice
Presidents, Drs. Rowan Clark of Blair, Sidney
Thompson of Huntingdon, J. N. Richards of
Bedford, A. S. WarshbargPr of Mifflin, and J.
P. Sterret ofjuniata county. Recording Sec
retary, Dr. W. C. Roller of Blair. Correspond
ing Secretary, Dr. Crawford Irwin of Blair.
Treasurer, Dr. J. N. Grubb of Juniata. The
place of next annual meeting was fixed for
Hollidaysburg on the second Thursday of
1878, and a special meeting for professional
business was appointed for January 10th 1878
at Huntingdon. Votes of thanks were tendered
the Committee of Arrangements, the ladies,
the Juniata Valley Camp Meeting Association,
and Supt. McCrea, Superintendent of the
Middle Division of the P. R. R. Co. The As
sociation then adjourned, after which a boun
tiful repast was served for all. The day was
spent pleasantly and profitably to all, and the
best of feeling prevailed. Such meetings
should be encouraged among the members of
a profession so generally deprived of the com
forts and recreations ordinarily enjoyed by
ether classes. A day like this must seem a
recreation indeed.
THE Rev. S. M. Moore, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, in Tyrone, has received
the degree of Doctor of Divinity, from the Col
lege of William and Mary, in Virginia. We
congratulate Dr. Moore on the distinction ob
tained from this venerable Institution. Old
William and Mary, dating back to the year
1660, has had an eventful history. She has
three times suffered from the shock of war in
the loss of part of her endownment. Four
times she has passed through the fire, by
which she lost her buildings. The last mis
fortune from this cause occurred during the
late war, when the buildings were wantonly
fired by some drunken soldiers of the sth Pa.
Cavalry, commanded by Lieut. Col. Smith,
and entirely consumed. Application was sub
sequently made to Congress for a grant, or
donation, to help replace the buildings. The
application was ably advanced by our Repre
sentative, Hon. IL M. Speer and passed the
House by a large majority, ifut did not come
up in the Senate ow ing to the session being
near its close. We learn that the application
will be renewed iu due time, and sincerely
trust it will be granted, se that this time-hon
ored Institution may be enabled to continue
in the course of usefulness it has pursued for
centuries 1 The nation cannot afford to have
such an Institution perish, for lack of pecunia
ry aid that would not be missed from a full
treasury. We know of : o College where stu
dents from our high, cold latitude could ob
tain a thorough education, in a delightful
climate, in the midst of the very best society,
and Qt toiso coot, than in the college of William
and Mary, Williamsburg, V.. Atiaiu, we con
gratulate Dr. Moore on receipt of a well-de
served honor.
AccIDENTS.—Robt. Henderson, brother
of Sheriff Henderson, of near Spruce Creek,
while engaged hauling in hay, on the 6th inst.,
was thrown under the wagon, which passed
over the thighs, dislocating one and injuring
the other. There being 4000 lbs of hay on
the wagon at the time, it is a most remarkable
escape from instant death. Dr. Thompson
was called to attend him. At last accounts
he was improving some, but slowly.
ANOTHER.—On the 10th inst., while Mrs.
Gates, widow of Martin Gates, and daughter
were passing the "Dorsey Ore Banks," near
Birmingham, in a buggy, their horse took
fright at the "Ore Washer" and they were
thrown from the buggy, nearly killing the
daughter and seriously injuring the old lady.
The daughter's shoulder was dislocated or
crushed and ribs torn from the back bone.—
She may not recover.
BEDFORD.—The following information
in relation to Bedford is readable : Bedford
Sptings in Pennsylvania was named Bedford,
after a Duke of Bedford, in the year '1754.
In the year 1758 the allied soldiers of Mary
land, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, numbering
8,000 men, marched through it on their way
to capture Fort Duquesne. In the "Espey
House," still standing, Gen. Arthur St. Clair
acted as Prothonotary in 1777, and in 1794
Washington used the house as his headquarters
while marching to subdue the "Whiskey In
surrection" in Western Pennsyhania. In
1804 the celebrated springs were discovered.
Politicians have much frequented the place,
chief among whom were James Buchanan,
Andrew G. Curtin, and Simon Cameron.—

MURDER WILL OUT,
A few years ago "August Flower" was dis
covered to be a certain cure for Dyspepsia and
Liver complaint, a few thin Dyspeptics made
known to their friends how easily and quickly
they had been cured by its use. The great
merits sof GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER became
heralded through the country by one suffer to
another, until,. without advertising, its sale
has become immense, Druggists in EVERY
TOWN in the United ates are selling it. No
person suffering with Sour Stomach, Sick
Headache, Costiveness, palpitation of the
Heart, indigestion, low spirits, etc., can take
three doses without relief. Go to your Drug

What the Bilious Require.
Since torpidity of the 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.
Hostetter'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 the right side and under the right
shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache,
to which bilious invalids are peculiarly subject.
As a remedy for 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
It Has Stood the Test.
If you doubt the wonderful success of Shiloh's
Consumption Cure, give it a trial; then if you are
not perfectly satisfied, return the bottle and we will
refund the price paid. It has established the fact
that Consumption can be cured, while for Coughs,
Hoarseness, Asthma, Whooping Cough and all
Lung or Throat troubles, there is nothing like it
for a quick and positive cure, and it seldom fails.
10 cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle. If your Lungs
are sore, or Chest, or Back lame, use Shiloh's Po
rous Plaster Price 25 cents. Sold by Read £ Sons
and Smith and Son.
DR. SHILOH'S SYSTEM VITALIZER is no
doubt the most successful cure for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint we have ever known, otherwise
we could not guarantee it. In cases of Consump
tion, where General Debility, loss of Appetite and
Constipation exist, it will restore and regulate the
system while SHILOH'S CURE allays the infla
mation and heals the lungs. Price 75 cents. Sold

A CERTAIN HEADACHE CIIRE.—If you suffer
from sick or nervous headache, morning sick
ness or neuralgia, go to your druggist and get
a ten cent trial pack of Dr. Heisley's Victor
Headache Powders, or J. It. Heisley & Co.,
Salem, N. J., will mail them post paid. A sin
gle powder actually cures the most distress
ing cases in ten minutes. It is purely vege
table, entirely harmless, a physician's discov
ery and we guarantee it to do all we claim.
You can get the 50 cent packs or the 10 cent

PENNY WISE
AND
POUND FOOLISH
In nothing is the above more illustrated than in the
course many pursue in certain kinds of disease. In order
to save a few cents they have what they call their own
prescriptions, such as Balsam Copabia, Turpentine, *c.,
little knowing the baneful influence these drugs have on
the constitution, the disgusting smell from the breath,
and, with all these disadvantages, there is no saving of
money, as the dose has to be renewed over and over again
until at last the condition of the patient becomes alarm
ing: then other means have to be resorted to. Read the
words of a sufferer :
Desmond & Co., 915 Race Street, Philadelphia I appeal
to you, and if there is any earthly relief fur me I wish
you would do something for me. About eight monthsago
I got into trouble. I took capsules, went to doctors,' and
it has cost me one hundred dollars—first for this medi
cine, then for that—without any benefit. A few days ago
a friend toll mo of the Samaritan's Gift; he said it would
certainly cure me. This is why I address you for advice.
Let the above be a warning to others. When you get
in trouble procure at once the Samaritan's Gift, and you
will be all right in two or three days, for remember the
bad effects that follow the use of these injurious drugs are
often worse than the original trouble. Price—Malepack
ages 12; Female $3. Sent by Mail in a plain envelope.

This unrivaled Southern Remedy is warranted not to
contain a single particle of Mercury, or any injurious min

PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs, which an all
wise Providence has placed in countries where Liver Die
eases most prevail. It will cure all diseases caused by de
rangement of the Liver and Bowels.
'The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter or bad
taste in the mouth; Pain in the back, sides or joints, oft
en mistaken for Rheumatism; Sour Stomach; Lose of Ap
petite; Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache;
Loss of memory, with a painful sen;ation of having failed
to do something which ought to have been done; Dbility,
Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the Skin and
Eyes, a dry cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend the disease,
at others very few; but the LIVER, the largest organ in
the body, is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
regulated in time, great euffating, wretchedness and death
will ensue.
I can recommend as an efficacious remedy for disease of
