The Altoona Mirror, of a late date, in speak lug of Mr. Homer Vaughn's challenge '•to any billiard player in Blair, Cambria or Hunting don counties for the championship," says that Huntingdon's champion 'backed down."— Ilwre is no "back down" in the case, Mr. Mirror, and if Mr. Vaughn will drop down this way '•a man in Huntingdon" will discount him, beat him every game, and send him home with less conceit in his ability to handle the cue than he now has. Those of our lady friends who take a deligh in tile preservation and arranging of ferns for the decoration of parlors, sitting and dining rooms, etc., during the dreary winter months, should now by all means gather them while they aro in their greatest state of perfection. Ni:merous varieties of ferns abound in the open fields and on the mountains near the town, together with many species of beautiful wild flowers, and a day can be passed very pleasantly among these wild-wood beauties. The Local News of Monday says that"Furnae e No. 1 of the Kemble Coal and Iron Co., at Rithile,burg has been remodeled, under the directions of the efficient Superintendent, William Lauder, and is now being dried pre paratory to being put in blast. Great success has attended the running of these furnaces (lacier the present management, and the K. C. and I. Co. might justly congratulate itself in having such a thoroughly practical man at t\- , management of its affairs at Riddlesburg." he improvement in business, in Philadel phia, is evident on almost every hand. Mer chants and other business men are gratified and in excellent spirits. Now let every bushel of wheat be sold that can be spared, and thereby bring ail the money into the commu nity you can and then circulate it. Pay your debts, and especially the printer. In a short time everything will brighten up, laborers and ine,:hauica will find work and all will move oil nicely.

The Directors of the Bedford and Bridge port Railroad Company met, in Philadelphia, on Thursday of last week, and arranged to extend their road from its present terminus at State Line to Gatuberland. The estimated ec•st $150,000, which is to be borne by par ties not connected with the road. It is to be to!Ilploted by 1979. Tiiis will give Cumber la::d t!i,i advantage of competition and make the Qteen City *hat Bedford would have been if the policy of the editor of this paper bed been pursued, but a few of Bedford's representative citizens preferred a few trifling scifish advantages and the prospects of Bed ford were blighted forever. Philip Gilbert flamerton, in his admirable papers on "Intellectual Life," thus talks to the wan who "stopped his paper :" News papers are to the civilized world what the daily house-talk is to the members of the family—they keep up our daily interest in each other, they save us from the evils of isolation. To live as a member of the great white race that has filled Europe and America and colonized or conquered whatever territory it has been pleased to i pccupy ; to share from day to day its thoughts, its cares, its inspira tions, it is necessary that every man should read his paper. Why are the French peasants so bewildered and at sea? It is because they never read a newspaper. And why are the inhabitants of the United States, though scattered over a territory fourteen times the area of France, so much more capable of con .certed action, so much more alive and modern, so much more interested in new discoveries of all kinds, god capable of selecting and utilizing the best of them ? It is because news papers penetrate everywhere, and even the lonely dweller on the prairie or in the forest is not intellectually isolated from the great currents of public life which flow through the :elegraph and press." , ANoTHER NEW SWINDLE.—Several of our exchanges are cautioning their readers to he on their guard against the "fence swindler." The pica is to offer to give the farmer 50 rods of new fence, if he will put it along the road where it will be seen, and serve as an adver tisement, and the farmer is to have the sole agency for the town, and to be paid a hand some commission upon all orders he may take. The farmer accepts the proposal, and the agent tells him that it will take two coils of wire, for which the farmer willingly signs an order. In a few days a stranger comes along to collect a bill for wire fencing, and wishes immediate payment. The farmer explains that be put up the fence as an adver tise-mew. and was to have it free. He is told that he was to have 50 rods free, but be has ordered outright 150 rods, and must pay for this at four cents a foot. If the farmer is timid, he settles with the chap somehow, per haps gives his note for $2OO to pay for the wire he did not Order. When he comes to examine his wire, he finds that he has 200 rods of wire, which will only make 50 rods of fence, four strands high, and in due time learns that his note has been discounted at the bank in the nearest town. PloEoN 31ATut.—A pigeon-shooting match, between Mr. Roush, of Saxton, and Mr. Conrad, of Norristown, but for some time past a resident of Huntingdon, came offon the fair grounds, on Monday afternoon last. This was the first match ever shot in Huntingdon, and as a coosequence a large crowd was present to witness the sport. The birds were liberated from a trap-box twenty-one yards distant from the trig, and any bird falling more than fifty yards from the trap was not counted. The usual. distance, we understand, is eighty yards, and had the letter distance been settled upon our friend Conrad would have carried off the lue ribbon, as three of his birds fell within the professial distance of eighty yards. The following is the score : Roush 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1-7 Conrad -5 • - MOORESVILLE CAMP MEETING.—R. S. & J. L. Westbrook will furnish a good square meal, at Mooresville, during Camp.

KEEP Wlt'T YOU'VE GOT.—An eliatwe gives the followin;! sensible advice on a sttl , .V , et of great interest in the future : Since the law allows every Married woman to con trol her own money :and property she may have at the time of it.er marriage, or that she may afterwards acquin by inheritance, every married weurtn ahould refuse to part with her lawful right to ow and control her own means. There are thousands of women in the laud to-day vho inhorited or otherwise acquired ILCAM3 that •woul.! have been a help and hlessini;• to them if under their own control, but which having I.wen loft or squan dered by their they an now in low circumstances and even in destitution. A wo man should always keep control of or at least a firm hold of her own money and property, so that if raL , fortunc overtakes her husband she may have something she can safely fall back on in her hour of trial and tribulation• We could point out a dozen of such unfortu- Ve women in a small circle, and such is the ease all over the land. With confidence in their husbands daring seeming prosperity, they gave every dollar, and some now have families to rear at a time when they can least affOrdit. We caution every woman in the land not to part with the title to her own money and property, but to hold it in safe keeping for a rainy day. A NEWBPAITIefi FUNCTION. —Tn a recent speech of an attorney in a libel suit, the fol lowing language occurs : "There has grown up a sort of common law ofobligation, recog nized mutually by the press, as distributors of useful intelligence, shall inform them, as well what is to he avoided as what is to be sought, as well who is to be suspected as who is to be confided in. And a newspaper, as a gather and distributor of news, is a public monitor, and it is its duty to admonish th people against. frauds and shame, and impos— tures and dishonesties. It is to be a beacon as well as a guide ; and whenever a public newspaper, through its diversified appliances for the collection and distribution of informa— tion, discovers anywhere in public life and in public avocations whether it be a lawyer or a clergyman, or a physician, a man who, instead of securing the public welfare by honorable mithods and practices, simply prowls around in the back yard of his profession, and uses the means and instrumentalities which honor able title gives him to pander to his own lust of avarice, or any other file passion, and that paper fails to send out some admonitory voice and sound some signal of warning, it is recre ant to every principle of duty and responsibil ity, and should be stigmatized by the public it pretends to represent and serve." Johnstown Tribune, Tuesday.] RIOTERS CONVICTED.—The jury in the case of the Commonwealth ,s. William Hilde brand, Thomas Parfit, Frank Vanormer, Wil liam Quinlan, John McLaren, and Andrew Crouse, tried yesterday in court on a charge of taking possession of Railroad property ha longing to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, on Sunday, the 22d of July last, brought in a verdict at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Ifildebra.ml, Parlit, Vanormer, and McLaren were found guilty in manner and form as in dicted, and Crouse and Quinlan were found not guilty as to the first couat, but guilty on the second. Imme'diately after the verdict was rendered his bunor, Judge Doan, called up the convicted parties for sentence, and the first three named were notified that a tine of $l5O must be paid, and that itnprisontnentfor one year in the county jail was the limit of their location in dut once. The sentence accorded Quinlan and Crouse was $lOO fne, and a committal to tlic county prison of six months each. Immediately after sentence was imposed Sheriff Ryan removed the individuals named to jail. EAT THE SAMPLES.—A townsman re cently in Huntingdon reports the following as having occurred at oue of the principal hotels up there : A guest called after the dinner hour and asked for dinner. He was taken to the dining room, seated, and told to give his orders to a waiter who would tie in attendance. One was summoned whom he told he wanted a good square meal, for be was hungry. The waiter retired, and soon returned with a vari ety of dishes, each particular comestible on a separate dish, sA them on the table and dis appeared again. The guest waited a short time, then attacked the "vituals," exhausted the supply, and went in search of the landlord, to whom we said, "Here, landlord, I'm tired waiting for dinner. I've eaten the samples, and I want you to hurry up the dinner." Mine host was, naturally, taken aback, but re-seated his guest, and went again to the - kitchen and ordered on a fuller supply, enough to satisfy his famished visitor, it is supposed, for in due time he returned to the office, settled the bill and departed.—Leiciatown Sentinel. A CAMP MEETING will be held on the Camp Ground at Mooresville, six miles N. East of Petersburg, beginning on Friday, the 14th inst., and closing the next Thursday evening. Itev. Thompson Mitchell, D. D., will be there nearly the whole time, and will have charge of the services. He will be assisted by a suffi cient number of other ministerial brethren. God's people everywhere, without distinction of sect, are cordially in7ited to come and worship in this "Feast of Tabernacles." The lairs of the Commonwealth, in reftrence to the holy Sabbath, mast be observed. W. R. WHITNEY, Pastor. A Result of Obstructed Dig estion. 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. Ilostetter'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 of vigor, a gain is bodily substance, and a regular and active performance of every physical function.

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 drew: 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 moans 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 for 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 told me 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 bed effects that fallow the use of these injurious drugs are often worse than the original trouble.

Parents in quest of a flmt-class school for their daught ers will do well to investigate the claims of this celebra ted Academy. For thoroughness in every department of female educa tion, Mount de Chautal ranks pre-eminently high, Great attention is given to perfect the pupils in writing and speaking French with fluency. For those sufficiently advanced it is the language of their recreation hours. The purity of accent and correctness of pronunciation acquired in this Institution have long been a subject of surprise to the native Parisian. The renown for superiority in music is so wide spread as to have made this Academy almost a native one. One feature in particular, that should recommend Mount de Chautal to the sensible parent, is the influence exercis ed to form the pupils to views and habits of economy and to render them really practical asii useful women of socie ty in atter years. Simplicity of dress is enforced by rule. These facts united to the exceedingly moderate rates for board and tuition, will, we trust, secure to this acbool n s large and desirable a patronage in the future as it has enjoyed in the past.
