The camp-ground, at Newton Hamilton, covers an area of thirty-five acres, On Sunday last Huntingdon's streets looked like "some banquet hall deserted." Our friend, J. 11. Boring, esq., is suffering from a❑ attack of the "Juniata jigs." We noticed the irrepressible Col. Jim Mil liken aboard the Sunday camp train. Stern, in his testimony on Monday after noon, nearly every shot brought a pigeon. Huntingdon has plenty of material out of which to form a good military organization- Col. D. B.

Hunters, who bare been over the ground, report squirrels reasonably plenty on the hills and ridges. The Cheerful Guest, devoted to Methodism, edited by Rev. Pardoe, is a very interesting publication. Rev. J. R. Akers, of this place, leads the singing at Camp, than whom there is no one more capable. "Katy-did" and "Katy-didn't" is the way they fight it out among the green leaves these charming nights. Three hundred and thirty-seven tickets were sold at tie station on Sunday last for the JunkttaNalltrCatnp. Johnstown is about organizing a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Hun tingdon should have one too. A large number of our firemen are going to Lewistown, on Saturday next, to witness the trial of fire engines on that day. Tbere will be a trial of steam fire engines at Lewistown on Saturday next. Four en gines will engage in the contest. Stamped envelopes, spoiled in directing, can always be exchanged at a post office for tamps. This is not generally known. The handsome form and classical features of our old friend, Jonathan Cessna, esq., of Bedford. were conspicuous at Camp on Sunday. Tbc barn of Mr. Wm. Coy, in Barree town ship, together with its contents, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday night a week ago. The different churches were pretty well at tended, on Sunday, when we remember that almost half our population was away at camp. The Altoona Tribune office is represented in the Fifth Reg. N. U. P., by a Lieut. Col. a Quartermaster and a number of high privates. An exchange says that picnic sand-witches are made by taking a good-looking young fel low and putting him between two jealous girls. The Altoona Sun says that snakes are so numerous on the hills surrounding that city, that many persons will not venture for berries. _ . A gentleman, who was out in the woods, one day last week, informs us that be came upon a flock of wild turkeys numbering thir teen. The hardware store of Ties & Bro., Altoona, was burglarized, on Friday night ;ast, of goods to the amount of one hundred and fifty dollars. A valuable horse, belonging to W. H. Woods, esq., left this mundane sphere one day last week, and now roams pastures green in horse heaven. The midnight train from camp, on Sunday, was composed of twenty-eve cars, and even then the passengers were packed like herring in a barrel. The Mifflin County Agricultural Association will hold its third annual fair, at Lewistown, on the 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th days of Sep enrber•ne:t. - 7 • The Mir r or says that the leading Methodists of Altoona District talk of getting up a camp meeting for next season, where Sunday will be respected. The Altoona Mirror's camp correspondent says that a "soiled dove," hailing from Hun tingdon, was arrested on the grounds, on Fri day morning. There are twenty glasses of beer drank now where there was one five years ago. The American people are rapidly becoming a beer drinking people: Tramps are thronging the rural districts, stealiug their living from spring-houses, corn fields, etc. Our farmers should give them a warm reception. The Pennsyliranis. Railroad Company pays taxes to the amount 0f52,860.80 into the Blair county treasury, and $9,630.90 into the Al toona city treasury. A new invoice of the handsomest stationery ever brought to Huntingdon bas just been re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. it is really beautiful, and so cheap. If. About twenty fishermen, left this place on Saturday morning for the Branch, and returned in the evening, witb some three or four bass of the small-fry species. We noticed three chaps in the rear of the depot, on Sunday morning, preparatory to their departure to camp, getting their sririts revived from a quart flask. A new article for marking clothing can be purchased at the JoeRSAL Store. No smear ing or blotting, and it is just the thing that has long been needed. Try it. lion. John C. Everhart has a tent at camp. The Colonel is as sound a Democrat as ever and intimates that he will never allow a King to disturb his peaceful slumbers. There was a "roasting-ear picnic" held in Orbison's Grove, about one mile and a half from this place, on Saturday last, by a select party from this town and vicinity. Calvin A.

There will be no civil cases tried in the Mifflin county_eourt now in session, the Dem ocrat alleging that the weather is too varm for the members of the bar to prepare them for trial. The attention of those desiring to paint tin or other roofs is called to the Rocky Mountain Vermilion Paint advertised In this paper. It is believed to be the best article for the pur pose extant. [lon. Calvin Thatcher of the Supreme Bench of Colorado, spent Sunday on the Camp ground. Ile is visiting hip friernis in Martins burg, Blair county, and casting•anxious glances toward old mother Bedford. We learn that Stewart, the soap man, uho vegetates in this place, was arrested at the Newton Camp, the other day, for selling whisky, but was permitted to go by promising that he would leave the grounds. Our capital young• friend, Cloyd Seibert, who is the favorite of every one, looks as if he failed to take sufficient exercise. We would suggest a row on the canal, once or twice a week. It would help amazingly. J. C. Blair, esq., of the Diamond Book Store, will accept our thanks for a very fine heliotype engraving, gotten up by James It. Osgood & Co , Boston, entitled "A wee bit fractious." It is a very fine piece of art. Croquet is a very popular game in the West End.—Huntingdon Journal. We alt- sys thought it was played on lawns.—Altoona Can't see the end of that joke. Lawns Blast it, we suppose they mean the ladies dresses ! An attempt was made in Altoona to organize a company of veterans for the protection of property and the preservation of the peace in times of emergency, but owing to the lack of interest manifested towards it the effort was abandoned. An unsuccessful attempt was made to fire the residence of Mr. John Swivel, corner of Fourth and Church streets, one night last week. A bunch of shavings had been put under the building and fired, but owing to the dampness they would not ignite. We had the pleasure of intertwining digits with Conductor James A. Stewart, at the depot, the other evening. Railroading seems to agree with "Jeems," as his avoirdupois has largely increased since he used to play "devil" for us some years ago. Success, Jim. Rev. Riddle is a riddle—a perfect enigma to some. We say this with all due respect to ministerial character. And to judge of the rapid and effective manner in which he hurls his shot and shell into Satan's camp, he may not inappropriately be called a riddler.—Camp Daily. A young son of Jacob Hetrick, jr., of Hen derson township, had one of his arms broken in two places, and badly lacerated, on Thurs day of last week, by being caught in the gear ing of a threshing machine. We are glad to learn that the little fellow is getting along finely. On Thursday morning of last week, the barn of John A. Piper, about three miles from Altoona, was totally destroyed by fire, to gether with its entire contents, consisting of wheat, hay, oats, rye, and a general variety of farming implements. The loss is estimated at $1,500. Inspector Drexel, of Pittsburgh, haa notified the people of that city that new potatoes should not be washed and allowed to stand, as it will absorb the starch from them and cause a for eign matter of a greenish color to form under the skin, which is very unhealthy and causes cholera morbus. That was a clever bevy of the fair sex that assembled at 217, at Camp, on ;Sunday evening. We learned, for the first time, how the ladies manifest an offishness under certain circum stances. But they made the train at Mt. Union on the principle that the early bird catches the worm. lion. R. B. Brown, editor of the Clarion Democrat, a former citizen of this county and well known to many of our people, has con sented to deliver the annual cration before the Literary Society of Reid Institute, a flour ishing Academy, at Reidsburg, Clarion county, Pennsylvania, at the closing exercises on Thursday evening, September 20. Dr. Fowler tried, for an hour and a half on Sunday, at. Camp, to demolish the scientific teachings of the age. It reminded us of the spattering of small drops of rain upon the plac id surface of the crystal waters of a fountain.— There was considerable spattering, it is true, but the great body of the waters was never moved. A Bush meeting of the A. M. E. Congrega tion, of Huntingdon, will be held at Cottage Grove, commencing on Saturday, the Ist of September, 1877, and will continue until Mon day evening, September 3d. Cornelius As bury, Presiding Elder, Rev. %V. P. Ross and others. are expected to be present at the meet ings. The public, irrespective of race or color, are cordially invited. This Thursday morning Dr. John McCulloch, of Huntingdon, who is visiting at the residence of his brother, Mr. S. T. McCulloch, near this place, fell down a flight of stairs and sustained serious bodily injuries. The fall rendered the doctor insensible but he was soon restored to consciousness. Dr. Sterrett was called and administered all needed medical attention.— Port Royal Times, 16th iivq. There was much complaint at Mount Union, on Sunday night, when the passengers for the East Broad Top train alighted from the 10.30 P. R. R. train and found that the former had left. It was enough to make a saint, to say nothing of a preacher, swear. One fellow was heard, above all the din and cussing, exclaim : "It Sims blanked strange that this blanked one horse railroad can't run according to schedule !" The Orbisonia Leader of the 16th inst., in announcing the death of J. Dallas Wicks, of that place, says : "On the Saturday previous to his death be was in his usual good health, and attended the Festival in the Prebyterian Church. On Monday he was stricken with Cholera Morbus and all efforts to check it were unavailing. lie died as above stated at noon on Thursday. The bereaved family have our sympathies." The Keystone Boot and Shoe Factory was knocked down to our young friend, D. S. Black,at Sheriff's sale,on Friday last,at $5,275. We understand that the friends of Maj. Whar ton bad intended to buy it in, but when it was bid up to more than they thought it was worth, they concluded to let it slide. The Major proposes to remove the machinery and continue the manufacture of boots and shoes in another building. Rev. Cyrus Jeffries, of Burnt Cabins, late of Mount Union, this county, is reported to have died at a Camp Meeting some where in New Jersey whither lie had gone on a visit.— We never met Mr. Jeffries, but what we have heard and read of him stamped him as one of the most active thinkers and workers of this region of the country. We hope our old friend, John Dougherty, esq., will prepare a proper tribute to his memory. In the P. R. R. yard hack of roundhouse No. 2, this city, stands engine No. 785, form erly a shifter in the Pittsburgh yard. During the late strike when mob law ruled in Pitts burgh a six pound cannon ball was fired and struck the right band brass railing, then passed through the boiler into the flue where it remained. It was dug out afterwards by railroaders. It made a circular hole in the boiler, and bent the tiue.—Altoona Mirror. A bountiful Providence having showered its blessings in profusion upon the citizens of Franklin township, in this county, and Furgu son township, in Centre county, a grand union picnic and harvest home will be held at Baileyville, in the latter township, • on Satur day the 25th inst., to which all the world and 'the rest of mankind" are invited. The bread and cake question, with an occasional pie thrown in, will be ably discussed by all hands, We were shown a sample of plate glass manufactured at Crystal City, Mo., which is as near perfect as this article can be made, and Mr. Gorman, the gentleman who sent it, says that the material in the vicinity of Ham tingdon will turn out glass equally as good, and much cheaper. Such quality of plate glass need not go begging for pur-hasers, but can be sold faster than it can be made. Take stock in the Huntingdon Plate Glass Works if you want a paying investment. Howard Lantz, an eighteen-year old son of Mr. John Lantz, of Altoona, was bitten by what was supposed to have been a mad dog, a few days ago, and the family and friends of the young man arc in great trepidition lest ke should fail a victim to that terrible disease, hydrophobia. The dog which was shot and killed soon after, was supposed to ha.e been rabid because he partook of water in which a cat manifesting all the symptoms of hydro phobia hail been drowned a short time pre vious. An exchange says a cheap and effective telephone can be made by taking two small round boxes and passing a strung string through a hole in the bottom of each, securely fastened by a knot. It will make no difference whether the string is twenty feet or twenty rods long. It it is drawn tightly, and one end is held to tlic mouth of the speaker and the other to the ear of the listener, and the faintest whisper can be instantly heard with great distinctness. It is a curious and pleasing experiment and and well worth trying. The position of the editor of this paper, on the Sunday question, now being agitated at Camp, can be summed up in a few words : IV,• have never been able to see the difference lmtween taking pay for hauling a man to church on Sunday and paying another man to address him after he getE, there. Nor have we ever been able to see why the poor laborer, who cannot attend during the week, should be de prived of the public carriage on Sunday while the rich man can use his private carriage and driver without a word of complaint. It is said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has a clerk employed, in Altoona, ex aming and compiling newspaper criticisms upon the corporation and its officers. Of course the company does not foot the bill ! He is, quite likely, paid out of the divies.— Some of the articles that reach him must be extremely refreshing reading. If he will let us know on what particular subject he w.snts comments we will go considerably out of our way to accommodate him We might be able to make some obscure things extremely plain. Tne Camp Journal says : "The editorial fraternity has been represented on the ground by Messrs. Shrom,of the NewportNewe; Speedy, of the Port Royal Times ; McCrum of the Mifllintown Tribune; G. & G. R. Frysinger, of the Lewistown Gazette; Conrad, of the Mc- Veytown Journal ; Pitcairn, of the Altoona Tribune; Buckingham, of the Altoona Mirror ; J.

Our esteemed friend, Dr. J. C. Fleming, left Ibis place, one day last week, for the West, where he intends looking up a desirable loca tion and settling down to the practice of his profession. The Doctor is well-read, and graduated with high honors from Jefferson Medical College, one of the foremost medical institutions of the country, and being familiar with all matters connected with materimedica, he is fully competent to prescribe for all dis eases that flesh is heir to. We hope that his lines may fall in pleasant places and that he may be successful beyond his most sanguine expections. M. August Gobert, fits, sailed for Europe on Saturday the 11th inst. He will return in the SprinE and locate Plate Glass Works at some point in the Juniata Valley. He has re solved to carry out his original intention if it takes the balance of his natural life. Hun tingdon was his first cheice and we hope he may never have cause to change his mind.— Though badly misrepresented, by many of our people, yet Mr. Gobert, we think, if opportunity were afforded him, would present us with the grandest Plate Glass Works in the world. He feels that his reputation as an honorable gen tleman is at stake and he would remove all doubts on that score. We have every confi dence in him. Court Proceedings. A Batch of Surety of the Peace Cases—Quar relling Neighbors—A Man that Nobody could Understand—An Indignant Step father—An Eccentric Jew—Assaulting Police Oificers— Complaint of a Deserted Wife—Running Against Snags—Road Supervisors in Trouble, cic., etc. Owing to the defect in the jury panel of April Sessions having caused a continuance of all cases until this week, the work of the Court this Session promises to be unusually prolonged, though no cases of great importance are for trial. Pending the finding of bills by the Grand Jury on Monday afternoon, the Court heard a few of those little complaints known as surety of the peace eases. The first of these was a charge against T. F. Shipton, of Ennisville, for using threats and assaults atrainst his neighbor, J. M. Smith, on'harrass ing him generally to his great vexation and torment of mind. Smith wanted a nice prom enade along the road in front of Shipton's lot, while Shipton wanted a wood pile at the same place. The walk obstructed the wood pile, the wood pile obstructed Mr. Smith's ideas of neighborly conduct, and a general cussedness and stubborness seems to have resulted. These neighbors were sentenced each to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace to wards all good citizens and particulary toward the other for one year. A shifting of the scenes brought two other neighbors on the floor ; this time two for eigners who bad some quarrel or misunder standing, at least, about sowing Hungarian grass upon the farm of their mother-in-law.— One alleged, in a splutter of broken French or very badly dislocated English,that the other had followed him down a lane at night with a pistol or scythe or hatchet or club or some thing, with the intention of killing him. The other explained to the Court all about the affair—making it very plain to the Court, pro vided the Court understood gibberish, that all that was wrong was that they couldn't understand each other, his brother in-law thought he was following him to kill him when all lie wanted was an explanation, "for you see dot Winterhalter he schpeak in zo many diverent lanquitch all mix up togetter dat uopody can fursteh vot he say." The Court understood enough, however, to enable it to decide that each party ought to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace towards each other, it appearing that both parties had acted badly. "The nextcase," said his Honor, "is the Com monwealth vs. Heywood Tolliver." "Heywood Tolliver, you're wanted," said the defendant's counsel,and up stepped a lively young gentle man, a preacher of "the colored persuasion" of this town. "What is your right name ?" asked his counsel, and the gentleman gave it. Our reporter's paper gave out before he got it all down but a small fraction of the conclusion was retained by dint of memory alone—the surname end being Heywood Tolliver Bell. Ile was charged with beating and otherwise maltreating a young lady whose mother he was about to marry. His virtuous indignation at being dragged into Court by a girl who didn't want him to court her mother, knew no bounds. "Why, your Honor, her story is all a fabrication, I never touched her in my horn days and she ought to be 'shamed of herself to tell such lies about me." This case was dismissed. The next case was most amusing. An ec centric and credulous Jew, named Asher Sterne, was charged with using threatening and abusive language towards Samuel March, another Israelite, both residents of Hunting don. Sterne is the same individual who was recently initiated into the new order of Free Masons in this town. As March took the bible to be sworn, Sterne jumped up and said in a highly dramatic tone: "Your Honor, dot man don't schwear de truth on de book," and he whipped out a cabalistic cube with straps attached, requesting that March be sworn by that instrument. Mr. March, however, averred that he believed the Christian formula bind ing upon him and he took the oath with the uplifted hand, and told his story, which was corroborated by other witnesses. But when Stern's turn came, and the mysterious black cube was invoked (Jews by the way swear with their hats on) a mournful talc was un folded. Sterne is a tailor, and his tjals and tribulations in this town have been mire than enough for nine tailors to bear. Duraig the dead watches of the night fearful schemes were concocted by enemies who wanted to bring about his mysterious disappearance trom town, and in the morning the door of his shop was covered with coffins and other devices which intimated plainer than words that his goose was about to be cooked. "Why, your Honor will be astonished, yes you'll be aston ished, when yon see what my neighbors have done against me, and brother Masons, too ! lurch, he averred, didn't consider the Bible as of more account than a newspaper, but he believed in the Bible and that Jesus was the Messiah. He bad been in Ireland and Scot land ten years, but never was so badly treated as in Huntingdon. Some brother .Masons had tried to bribe him to leave town, but he was not going to be bribed out nor froze out. lie had been cheated and robbed, his money and machine taken from him, his thumb put out of joint and himself immured in a dungeon, and be implored the Court to see that justice was done him at last. The Court censured those who took advantage of the mental weak ness of others to play practical jokes upon them until they were exasperated into the commission of breaches of the peace, and warned Mr. Sterne that although he would be let off this time, if he were again annoyed he had no right to threaten and assault his neighbors who took advantage of him ; he had a legal remedy, and if he was brought up again for the commission of a like offense he would have to be sent to jail. ''Thank your Honor," said Sterne, who seemed to consider the prospect as rather inviting than otherwise. And perhaps it was to him. The investigation of another quarrel be tween neighbors concluded the labors of Mon day's sess on. Daniel Hoffman and Joseph Hoffman were the defendants in this case.— The particulars were not very interesting ; the case was dismissed and Joseph Hoffman, one of the defendants, ordered to pay the costs. TUESDAY'S SESSION A jury was sailed to try two indictments in one of which Samuel Helms was charged with an assault upon James K. Thompson, a police officer of Mt. Union borough, on the 4th of Ju ly last, and in the other Henry Helms, a broth er of Samuel, was charged with rescuing Sam uel from the custody of the officer. Several interesting points arose in this case, the trial of which lasted nearly all day. Among other things it was decided that a Burgess, being a peace officer, under the Borough Act of 1851, has power to appoint special policemen on an ernergency,Jvithout special ordinance of the borough council, and he is only responsible to the town council for the exercise of ordinary discretion in their appointment. If he appoint an excessive number, so as to burden the tax payers, the officers appointed could probably not be paid without vote of council, and the council would not probably be mandatnussed to vote an appropriation to pay an excessive amount for such services. It was also decided that if a peace officer arrest a man for disord erly conduct, in broad daylight, with the in tention of taking him to the lock up instead of first taking Lim before the Burgess for a hearing, the officer would be a trespasser and the defendant would be justified in resisting the attempts of the officer to arrest him under such circumstances. In this case it was al leged that Samuel Helms committed an assault and battery upon Thompson before Thompson attempted to arrest him, and supplemented this immediately by an additional assault af ter the attempt to arrest was made. It was held that as Thompson was not at the time in actual performance of an official act such as serving a warrant etc., the first attack upon the officer would be indictable only as an or dinary assault and battery, but any assault made by Helms upon Thompson after the lat ter had attempted to arrest him for an actual misdemeanor, would be an assault upon an officer in the execution of his duty. It was alleged in defence that Helms, who was under the influence of liquor, walked up to Thomp son and inquired of him why he bad taken one Nolan to the lock up just a few minutes before, upon which Thompson, armed with a revolver in one hand and a handybilly in the other, commenced to beat Helms about the head, and was only forced to desist by Helms' brother who interfered. It seemed pretty clear that the interference of Henry Helms was only for the purpose of preventing the officer from wantonly abusing Samuel, or from exciting him into a more dangerous breach of the peace. The jury acquitted Henry Helms and found Samuel Helms guilty only of simple assault and battery, dividing the costs between him and the prosecutor, Mr. Thompson. From grave to gay again, the attention of the Court was diverted, by the hearing of a couple of additional surety of the peace cases. Harry Swivel, charged with deserting his wife Nora Swivel, was sentenced to pay hers week. ly instalment of three dollars, or about one third his earnings. The next case was the complaint of a man who had run against a couple of ugly snags— or at least he thought so. It was another case of quarreling neighbors. John Kellar and his wife live in a house adjoining the home of Mrs. Margaret Suag and Elizabeth Snag. Kel ler's children were fond of Snags' peaches ; Snags' threatened to scald the children ; Mrs. Keller took up the quarrel and stones are said to have been thrown ; then the husbands took up the quarrel and it landed in court. "Just look at the utter absurdity and uselessness of your conduct," said the Court. "You come here talking about each other and feeling wickedly towards each other. You come un der a recognizance from a justice of the peace, at an expense in railroad fare, time, and hotel expenses in this town which makes this law suit cost you more than every one of you would earn in two or three wceks,or perhaps months, and all for the gratification ofyour revengeful or spiteful feelings toward one another ; you are poor, and everybody is poorer from the re sult of it, except the officers who get the costs. That is all it amounts to ; as much of your hard earnings is taken by this lawsuit as would buy you each two or three barrels of flour, and then it ends in nothing ; we can do noth ing but bind you over to keep the peace to wards each other, and that is what you ought to be bound to do by your own sense of right and wrong, without it being enforced by a Court." But notwithstanding, each party seemed to lose sight of his or her own pecuniary loss in gleeful contemplation of the fact that all the others bad been bound over, and all seemed equally satisfied. Such is the magic influence of the law ! EDNESDAY SESSION A jury was sworn last evening in the case of the Commonwealth vs Nicholas Lynn and David Fouse, road supervisors of Lincoln twp. The charge against them was that they neg lected to repair a new piece of road near Cof fee Run station, although they had been noti fied frequently to do so by the prosecutor, Si mon Cohn. The trial lasted all day and re sulted in a verdict of guilty. The Court then ordered the defendants to pay the costs and suspended further sentence until the Novem ber Term, advising Messrs. Lynn and Fouse that they had better fix the road before that time. In the evening a most heart—rending case was heard by the Court. Esq., Harper of Dub lin Township had sued out a writ of Habeas Corpus to regain possession of his daughter, Grace Ilarper,who is at present in the posses sion of her Aunt, Mrs. Stryker, of Alexandria. Grace is only 4 years old. When one month old her mother died and Mrs. Stryker offered to keep the child, which was weak and sickly, for one year free of charge. Esq. Harper con sented. The year expired, and the child still remained with its Aunt, yet no further con— tract was made for its keeping. The chords of maternal affection in the breast of the Aunt began to entwine themselves about the girl, who was now a fine healthy child, happy in the love of a new mother andsurrounded with all the comforts of a pleasant home on one of the richest farms in the county. But when Esq. Harper had remarried and was in posi tion to offer his child an equally good home under his own control, his heart also yearned for the child of his loins. Under the law the lather would be clearly entitled to the child, unless lie had contracted to part with his con trol of it or unless there were such circum— stances in the case which the Court could seize hold to exercise judicial discretion for the better welfare of the child. But nothing of the kind appeared in the case, and the child was decreed to the father. The evening session was closed by the tt.al of the Reverend Albert Towser Heywood Tol liver Bell, for assault and batteey upon John Yaw. Both parties were colored and residents of Huntingdon. SILVER WARE STOLEN.—On Thurs day night of last week, the residence of Col. Wm. Dorris, corner of Fourth and Penn streets, was burglariously entered, and silver ware amounting in value to $75.00 carried off. The articles stolen were three forks, one ladle, eleven tea, five dessert and seven table spoons, several of the pieces being over a hundred years old and highly prized by the Colonel. An entrance was effected through a back win dow in the dining-room. At present writing no clue has been obtained to the guilty party. CENTRE ASSOCIATION.—The Forty seventh Anniversary of the Centre Baptist As sociation, will be held in the First Baptist Church, in this place, August 29th. Services commencing at 10 A. M.

The news spread like wildfire, and measures were immediately instituted for the recapture of the fugitives. Sheriff Munson at once published handbills which he posted through the town and county offering a reward of $125 for the apprehension of the thieves ; and the telegraph was brought into requisition to hasten the news to all points where information was like ly to be needed. Officers were sent out in dif ferent directions and every known strategem resorted to to insure a speedy capture, which was effected last Saturday morning about five miles from Pine Grove Mills. It will be remembered that Walker was ar rested and imprisoned about three weeks since for the theft at Rebershnrg of a valuable mare belonging to State Senator Peale, that he sev eral times successfully eluded the officers in pursuit, and that before his capture could be effected be was shot with a rifle, the ball pas sing through his left lung near the heart. Last Monday evening a reporter of this pa per visited Walker in his cell and gleaned the story from the latter's own lips. We found him reclining in a very comfortable position upon his bed. At our salutation lie raised himself to a sitting posture and gave us a cor dial 'Good evening." lie is a man of medium height, 23 years old. light hair, sandy mous tache, bright, piercing dark eyes, fine build, and altogether• a handsome young fellow. He is a good talker, and narrates events with in telligence and ease, as the following will prove : - Reporter—Mr. Walker, do you smoke (hand ing him a cigar.) Mr. Walker—Thank you, I do sometimes (strikes a match and commences to smoke.) R.—l suppose you feel quite at home to get back again? W.—Not particularly, as I hardly got cli mated before. R.—Do you feel any present inconvenience rom your wound ? _ _ W.—lt pains me a little constantly - , and never expect to be the man again that I was before this misfortune. R.-1 thought perhaps you might be able and willing to give me some interesting par- .iculars in - regard to your flight and reap .ure ? W.—Well, every body knows it, and I'm willing they should. The game's up, and I suppose if the Republican tells it everybody will then know it. We had the run of the hall h(re together, and concocted a plan of escape. Taking advantage of the abs3llCe of the Sher iff, we passed Into the dungeon, and then tore out some small partitions which admitted us to the cellar. Front thence we easily cut our way through the floor into the kitchen, from whence we bad only to walk out into the open air and we were free men again. We jumped the fences and proceeded in a southerly direc- tion, but when I reached the Catholic ceme tery I was obliged to rest on account of bleed ing at the lungs, caused by overheating my self and irritating my wound. With the as sistance of my comrades, however, I succeed ed in walking nearly all night, and the next morning we came out on Nittaky mountain only a couple of miles from Centre Hall. We pressed on over into and across Penns valley and struck Tussey mountain about three miles from Boalsburg. This was Friday afternoon and we bad had nothing to eat up to this time. I was forced from exhaustation to go to a house and buy something to eat. .We then went on to within about three miles of Stone Valley and about five from Pine Grove Mills, in which location we found ourselves early Saturday morning. My comrades being afraid I again ventured to a house to buy something to eat. I was so exhausted I did not care much if I was recaptured, so that I got some thing to eat. I went to the house about 7 o'- clock in the morning. This proved to be the house of a Mr. Miller, and after the woman had given us our breakfast she went to the field and told her husband that she believed we were the parties advertised. Her husband then came to the house, got his rifle and point ed it at me, and at the same time called to a neighbor near by who came to his assistarce. I told them I was on a hunting excursion, but they thought it was too thin a story, and read the description of me to myself, when I said I guessed it hit me pretty well. I tore away from the two, when four other men came, and soon I was surrounded by about fifty, arid they then went and brought my comrades. R.—Why did your comrades not escape du ring this time? W.—They declared they would not leave me, and as a matter of honor stuck by me. R.—Why did you not separate, order to more effectually elude the officers 7 W.—Because I was unable to travel without their assistance, as a good portion of the time they were obliged to bolster me up between them. And another reason was because I had all the money with which to buy what we were bound to purchase to eat. In the afternoon of Saturday Mr. Miller and his assistants drove into Bellefonte with the prisoners in charge. They came in two light wagons of three seats each, and made a form idable guard for the convicts. The reward was promptly paid and the prisoners prompt ly re-incarcerated. Walker said he did not intend to go home, but that the Pennsylvania Railroad was his objective point. We left him in comparatively good spirits, but reporting frequent shortness of breath on account of his wound. He rather expects to make his home for a few years in Allegheny county. —Bell e - futile Republican, 15€11 inst . PLEASURES IN A REPORTER'S LIFE.— The World, in illustrating "a new form of lunacy," sketches some of the pleasures at tending the life of a faithful journalist when he, either advertently or inadvertently, treds on the toes of a class to be found in every community. It says that the man who wants a retraction is the thorn in an editor's flesh. If a local item states that red-headed John Slimkins who lives on Orange street was arrested for drunkness, an irate man rushes up to the office to demand an explanation to the effect that no reflection is cast upon Thomas I'limpkins of Lemon street, who has black hair and drinks nothing stronger than cider. If a reportor, in describing a street fight mentions the fact that it took place near "The House of Lords," the indignant proprie tor of that establishment appears before the editor, protesting that a slur upon the char acter of his saloon is intended, and threaten ing dire vengeance if an apology be not offered as publicly as the insult to the effect that the rioters got. their liquor at another and altogether more disreputable groggery. ;f the hapless journalist throws some humorous incident into an impersonal form, he finds that he has hit home in a score of places, and he is accused of satirizing people of whose existence he knew no more than the world knew a month ago - of the village at the bottom of Lake Leman. 'file invents fictitious names to fill out a narrative, lie learns that there are hundreds of people willing to assume the rolls which he has ereatedafter the manner of the disreputable schoolmaster who accused Dickens of caricaturing them in the character of Wackford Squeers. In fact, it seems to be a common thing with certain half-educated, thin-skinned and self-important persons to imagine that the press is always discussing them ; and generally they have no better grounds for the supposition than Scrub, who declared, "I think they talked of me, for they laughed consumedly." When a fellow of this kind has no other excuse for nagging at an editor he is sure to appear as the champion of his minister, his mother-in-law or his daughter, and until the inventor of the Bogar dus kicker contrives some small, cheap and easily concealed but powerful petard by which the man who seeks a retraction may be blown at the moon, the life of the American journalist will not be completely happy. SORRENTO AND INLAID WORK; by thur Hope. Price $1.50. J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia. Mr. Hope is.evidently a veteran in the art of wood carving. He tells us that his first rude attempts at scroll-sawing were made twenty years ago with a roughly whittled saw frame, fitted with a blade made from a watch spring, in\vhich "teeth few and far between had been unevenly and laboriously cut with a common file." The object of Mr. Hope's book is to furnish a manual for all who are interested in scroll sawing and carving, Loth beginners and ex perts, and with this view, he has treated of every branch of the subject, from woods and their preparation on through the various branches, to overlaying, inlaying, silhouettes, etc. The book is illustrated with full page de signs, many of them the choicest silhouettes, the designs alone, if bought at retail, amount ing to more than the price of the book. We do not see how anything better than Mr. 1 Hope's little volume could well be prepared. It is remarkably explicit, and yet remarkably full in explaining and describing the very things that the amateur worker most wishes to knom, and being himself an enthusiast, he can have little difficulty in awakening a cor responding interest in others. The chapters on overlaying and inlaying are the best we have ever seen on the subjects, and contain instruc tion to be found in no other form. Altogether Hope's book is a gem, and no e.matenr can afford to be without it.—Toledo Blade, Feb ruary 8, 1877. Republican County Convention.

Among the hurtful consequences ofobstructed digestion, is the impoverishment of the vital fluid which not only produces dangerous organ ic weakness, but according to the best medical authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, it is apparent that to improve the quality of the blood by promoting digestion and assimilation, is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely the remedy for this purpose, since it stimulates the gastric juices, conquers those bilious and evacuative irregularities which interfere with the digestive processes, promotes assimilation of the food by the blood, and purifies as well as enriches it. The signs of improvement in health in consequence of using the Bitters are speedily apparent in an accession cf vigor, a gain in bodily substance, and a regular and active performance of every physical function.
