FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, Is the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisements for the JOURNAL. He has our best rates. Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip tions and Arrearages. The tolluwing is the law relating to newspapers and subscribers. 1. Subscribers who do nut give express notice to the con trary, are ,considered wishing to continue their sub- neription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance nf their peri odicals, the publishers way continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3 If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are di reaefl, are held responsible until they have settled,their bills, and order- ed them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other placed without informing the publisbers, and the papers are sent to the former di rection, they are held responsible. 5. The Courts have decided that "refusing to take periodi cals from the office, or removing and leaving them un called for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6• Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether he has ordered it or mt. is held in law to be a subscriber 7. If subscribers pay in advwnce, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of tneir time, if they do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the pub lisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscriber will be responsible until an ezprees notice, with payment of all arrears, Is sent to the publisher.

A complete assortment of school stationery jest received at the JOURNAL Store. West Huntingdon folks want a passenger station established at Fifteenth street. There was a large crowd of customers at the curb-stone market on Saturday morning. Bedford county has a fish warden in the person of D. L.

A full line of hand Lome and cheap pocket books and purses just received at the Jeuaxat, Store. The Globe is now published from its new quarter 3 in the basement of the Penn street Ilall. The big show will skip Johnstown and ex hibit at Huntingdon. It is a big thing on wheels. If you want to invest in real estate, consult the advertising columns of the JOURNAL before doing so Our merchants are waking up to the bene fits to be derived from the liberal use of printers' ink Old-fashioned reticules, with strings to draw, and worn swung over the arm, are to be revived Col. Williams, late of the Juniata Tribune, does the pencil- hoving on the Twice-a-Week of MifflintoNin. A number of col,red ministers were in town on Monday attending a local conference of their church. The juveni:es are jest now busily engaged in concocting plans to secure their admission to the coming circus. We 13 , -e informed that six wild tueteys were killed ne day 'ast week, in Henderson town ship, by some game pirate. A small .vhite worm, about half an inch in length, is Cestroying the growing wheat in some parts of Matlit, county. Dr. 11. A. M.ller, who has been traveling through the Wes - for a m,ith or more, arrived at home on. day last week. The business man who is too penurious to advertise his wares cannot expect to be pa tronized ; and should not be. Our neighbor ncr9ss the way, Hertzler, the green groper, has urrap7ed to remove to Phil adelphia. Wish :iim success. Ch4stnuts have made their appearance in this market, bu+ they have not been sufficiently frosted to make them toothsome. The Shippensblrg News is thirty-four years old, but it is as lively as a cricket and as handsome as a girl iti hei teens, The Brady Agricultural Fair, now in pro gress at Mill Creek, we understand is largely attended, and the dioplay is good. Fish Warder Web.hrook is looking after the violaters of t' e law who ta , 3 fish by means of baskets and nets. Gat:ier them in, Washington street is no v receiving the at tention of stre , ,t cowmissioner Miller and is being covered with r coating of gravel. Quite a large number of our country friends were in town on Satr 7day, the majority of them having corn and potatoes for sale. When a young man ,s observed coming out of a saloon with a little froth hanging to his • mou stache, he has not got the bydrophobia. As we expected, the appearance of the elec tion proclamation last week, gave brother Lindsay another attack of county printing fever Our old friend and preceptor, Dad Lewis, has opened a full line of handsome glassware, in the room recently occupied by his book store George Friedley and Jobe Stutzmar suc ceeded in catchisg sixteen good-sized pike, one day last week, in the waters of Stone Creek Owing to the indisposition of Judge Hall, Judge Rowe, of Franklin county, presided during the late sitting of the Bedford county court, Mr. Wolf, Mt. Union's "cheap John," figured as a witness in the trial of Bliss, the humbug spiritualist, in the Philadelphia courts last week. A few brick pavements are being laid in the West End. We hope more will follow, for those loose boards are an abomination to pedestrians. A large number of partridges were seen in the eastern a❑d of town on Saturday last.— - On and after the 15th inst., the law legalizes the shooting of these birds. At a glass-ball practice, on Ft iday afternoon last, the score footed up as follows ; Frank W. Stewart, 0 ; W. E. Lightner, 7 ; W. W. Dorris, 0 ; T. C. Fisher, 5. The excursionists who left this place, for th'. Quaker city, on Tuesday of last week, are arriving at home like the Irishman's cows, "in droves of one or two." On Tuesday of last week some person en tered tl residence of Mr. P. L. Swatw, in West Huntingdon, and stole therefrom a watrli and chain of considerable value. That portion of Perry county in the neigh borhood of Montgomery's Ferry, is infested by a band of thieves who almost nightly plunder the citizens of that locality. Dr. W. M. Jackson, who has been very ill with typhoid fever, for a couple of weeks past, we are pleased to know is convalescing, and in a short time will be himself again. The greenbackers hereaways are as cool as cucumbers since the convention, on Tuesday of last week, and a majority of them don't propose to vote the ticket nominated. The Supreme Court has affirmed the verdict in the case of Mrs. Mary Decker vs. The Hun tingdon & Broad Top Railroad, which verdict gave her damages to the amount of $6,000. We heard a gentleman remark the other day that "the JOURNAL is the best local paper in the State." We always knew this, but our extreme modesty prevented us from saying so. Our around-the-corner merchant neighbor, J. R. Cartoon, esq., has broken ground for the enlargement of his store room, to which he intends building an addition of twenty-five feet. The material heretofore used in printing the Altoona Globe has been leased by a party of gentlemen, and in a few days a two-cent paper will be issued in the interest of the Labor Re formers. A Mr. Geo. Heist, of Tyrone, had his thigh bone broken, iu two places, and his shoulder dislocated, one day last week by being caught between two large stones while engaged in a job of masonry. It is time that our farmer friends, who have not paid up for a year or two, come to time. We need the money, and in fact, must have it,if it is in the timber. So don't delay further, but send it in. NI. Edgar King, esq., of the Radical, has made the riffle and received the nomination for Assembly in Blair count::. We hope be will come in on the home stretch ahead of that other fellow. Our friend, Kline has been east and pur chased a new set of improved photographic instruments, and is now better prepared than ever to take the best pictures of any establish • meat in the country. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Branches will run excursion trains to the exhibition of the great London show in this city on Satur day, October 13th, and a little over half rates of fair will be charged. Rev. John D. Brown has had another attack of paralysis which sadly effects his speech.— It is the severest attack of the several with which he has been afflicted. We deeply sym pathize with him in his affliction. Levi Knott, of Altoona, who has figured in every court in Blair county for a year or two past, has sued T. H. Greevy, of the Altoona Globe fcr libel. The libel consists in coupling his name with the Tyrone counterfeiting case. The JOURNAL hasn't told its readers that the best-lookinggirl in town reads the newspapers. —Local News. Yes, we said, many moons ago, that the prettiest girl in Huntingdon was a constant reader of the JOURNAL. Guess you don't read the papers. The different committees having in charge the raising of the necessary amount of stock required for the erection of plate glass works, in this place, are hard at work, and are meet ing with encouraging success. Don't hesitate to subscribe ; it will be a good investment. Chicken thieves are driving a brisk trade in Portstown. We learn that the coop of our young friend John A. Port has been despoiled of twenty five within the past week or two A charge of No. 6 shot is the remedy that should be applied to these robbers of the roost. The second section of the Way Passenger train, on Sunday last, was made up of twelve passenger and four baggage cars, and carried four hundred and forty-two emigrants. They represented several nationalities, and had the appearance of being intelligent and well-to•do pe3ple. A delegation of "big Injuns," en route for Washington, passed through this place one day last week. Among the number were such distinguis'ed chiefs as Red Cloud, Spotted Tail , Yonng•Man-A fraid-o f-His- Horse, Spotted Tail, Jr., Little big Man, Black Coat and Sharp Nose. Our young friend, David S. Black, whilst out hunting squirrels, in the Stone Creek re gion, on Saturday last, shot and killed a large red fox as it was crossing the road at lightning speed some forty yards distant. It was a good shot, and Dave feels considerably elated at his success. A lad named George Bryan, of Tyrone, about fifteen years of age, was killed on the railroad, near that place, a few days ago by being struck by a locomotive as he stepped from a freight train upon which he had been stealing a ride. This is another warning to the boys of our town who are in the habit of jumping on and off passing trains. The Grand Jury ignored the bill brought against our old friend, James B. Sansom, esq., of the Indiana Democrat. charging him with libeling one E. B, Houghton, of Pittsburgh. Sensible to the last. Grand Juries now and then are equal to the occasion, and when they are they flatten things out woefully. The wife of Mr. Edward Roney, who resides at Warrior Ridge Station, about four miles west of this place, was seriously injured about the head, while on her way to church, in this place, on Sunday morning last, by the colli ding of two hand cars, The accident happened about half-way between her home and this borough. She is seriously,butnot dangerously hurt. The Normal School iu West Huntingdon still growing and suitable buildings are greatly needed to accommodate the patronage that is coming in from a distance. The town ought to contribute enough to the Institution to purchase the ground for the buildings which would then be commenced at once, and thus secure the advantages of a good institution of learning in our On Friday morning last we had the pleasure of taking by the band our esteemed and talented friend, T. M. Cornprobsts, esq., of Chicago, who is cn a brief visit to friends in this locality. He is the same jovial and warm hearted Tom as of yore, and his robust and healthy appearance are indications that his lines have fallen in pleasant places since he turned his face towards the setting sun. May his shadow never grow less. A month or two ago a car load of cattle brought from Missouri was sold to Lewistown butchers, and shortly afterward a number of the cattle suddenly died, and the disease was supposed to be the Cattle Plague or the Texas fever. Two weeks ago a car load or two of young cattle were brought from Indiana by Mr. Felix Smoker, which he sold to butchers and farmers in this county. Of these cattle also quite a number have since died quite suddenly, and the apprehension now is that the disease may spread.—Lewistown True Deinocrai. John F. Moore, formerly of Altoona, better known as "Jack" Moore among the printers of the Juniata Valley, and another printer named .lames M'Quigan have been arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of having killed two men and mortally wounding another, near the village of St. Elmo, Illinois. Moore is in prison at McLeansboro, and McQuigan at Vandalia. We hope Jack and his partner will be able to establish their innocence. The Harrisburg Telegraph, of the 28th ult., says this about them : "Both these printers were at work in this office up to the 10th of Sep tember, receiving their pay on the afternoon of that day, and did not leave fere until night, fully twelve hours after the murders at St. Elmo are said to have been committed. It is very plain that the Sheriff of Fayette County, Illinois, has got hold of the wrong men." From Monday last, the Ist inst., up to Jan uary Ist, it is lawful to kill the following game: Wild turkey, pheasant or prairie chicken, elk or wild deer. Rabbit, quail or partridge from October 15 to December 15. We append the section of the game laws pro hibiting the trapping of rabbits, partridges, etc. "No person shall, at any time or place within this state, kill or take any wild turkey or ruffled grouse, commonly termed pheasants, or quail, or Virginia partridge, or woodcock, or rail, or reed bird, or rabbits, by means of any blind, trap, snare, net, or device what ever, under a penalty of ten dollars for each and every such bird or rabbit so trapped, snared or taken, provided that nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent individuals or associations for protection, preservation or propagation of game from gathering alive by nets or traps with the written consent of the owner of the land, quails or Virginia partridges, from the 20th day of December in any year to the Ist day of February next following for the sole pur pose of preserving them alive over the winter." GREENBACK CONVENTION.—Pursuant to notice the Greenback Convention assembled in the Grand Jury Room, in the Court House, in this place, on Thursday afternoon of last week, and in the absence of the chairman, Mr. Harry Noel, L. S. Geissinger, esq., called the Convention to order. About one-third of the townships were found to be represented, and in most of these by only one delegate. A motion was made and agreed to that where any district was represented by only one delegate, that the delegate have the privilege of casting two votes. A permanent organization was effected. by the election of H. 11. Mateer, of Brady, as chairman, and E. C. Summers and L. S. Geis singer, esq., of Huntingdon, as Secretaries. P. H. Davis, S. G. lsett and J. L. Etter were appointed a committee on contested seats, but as the Convention was only too anxious to have the seats all filled, the labors of the committee were soon discharged. On motion, Daniel Pope, J. F. N. House holder and Rev. Thos. Price were appointed a eonindttee on resolutions, who reported the following, which was read and adopted : Resolved, That we heartily endorse the platform adopted by the Independent Greenback State Con vention at Williamsport on Sept. 19, 1877, and pledge ourselves to give the ticket nominated by said convention our earnest support. The convention being now ready to nomi nate candidates, the following persons were placed in nomination for the office of Sheriff, and balloted for as follows : Joules G. Corbin Philip Garner.... E. C.Summers. James Green Elias Zeek John Whiteside, D. 11. Foster James G. Corbin, of Brady, having received a majority of the votes cast was declared the nominee, and his nomination was made unan• iumus. The convention then proceeded to nominate a candidate for Director of the Poor, as fol lows: DIRECTOR OF THE POOR FOR 3 YEARS, John C. Baker .John It. McCartney S.ttnuel K. Metz John Yandevander Elliott Robley J. W. Books After the first ballot, and on motion John IL McCartney, of Huntingdon, was declared the choice of the convention. FOR 2 YEARS. Jonathan C. Roddy P. 11. Davis Adam Bagshaw Jonathan C. Rody, of Shade Gap, having received a majority of the votes cast, was de Glared the nominee. John E. Ketterman, of Lincoln township, was nominated for County Surveyor, and Abner McDonald, of Iluntingdon, for Coroner. James H. Boring, of Huntingdon, was chosen as chairman of the county committee, when the convention adjourned sine die. THE GREAT LONDON Snow.—The B. ton press has been most lavish in its praise of this great show, which is to exhibit here on Saturday Oct. 13th, when two full perform ances will occur. The Daily Post of June Bth, of that city says : The popularity of this perfect organization only increases with each succeeding exhibition, and the enthusiasm of the audience is unbounded as their demonstrations of delight prove. Yesterday af ternoon and night was only a repetition of the im mense attendance the previous days. Notwith standing the heavy showers the great tents were tried to their utmost capacity, and last evening fully one thousand people were forced to stand. This only manifests beyond the shadow of a doubt that the public will cheerfully patronize an amuse ment of a worthy and meritorious character. And such an exhibition certainly is the stupendous Lon don. Day after day thousands upon thousands have attended, and not one word of complaint or censure has been heard to escape them. The smile of complacent satisfaction wreathing every coun tenance as the circus-goers emerge from the pavl ions is complete and indisputable evidence of the perfection of the entertainment, and is a compli ment to the efficient management which they will doubtless treasure with pride. And this is as it should be. In fact, there is not a single weak point in the entire programme. Every promise made in the advertisements is most rigidly kept, and there is not a vulnerable spot in the show. The main features of the magnificent London are scarcely superior to several acts and attractions the agents and management do not see proper to mention all in their advertisements. However, they can well afford to challenge the world in 510,000 that Mine. Elise Dockrill has no equal as an equestrienne. Her principal bareback act is one of the finest examples of daring eques trianism ever witnessed by any one, and it is fully equalled by her startling four-horse feat. She is all confidence, all grace, and spurns danger. This seems the more remarkable since she is a medium sized, fair-faced lady, not at all masculine in de velopment, as one would suppose. She rides alone, perfect and unapproachable. The mattege act of Mr. Dockrill and his trained steed Ellington, evinces everything to commend and nothing to condemn. Melville's somersault and jockey spe cialties are par excellence. The Livingston Broth ers, assisted by Mr. Murtz, are acrobata whose feats are marvelous and ohallonge oriticism. The leap of the California favorite, Fred. O'Erian, who turns a double somersault over five elephants, causes every spectator to hold his breath while the thrilling spectacle is being accomplished. The Lawrence Sisters' te•ial sports on a trapeze sus pended thirty feet above the arena cannot be sur passed. But where is the use to particularize? Every performer is an artist, and the London gslaxy is truly a constellation of brilliant arenic stars. Much of the pleasure derived from a visit to this great show is from the superiority of its accomplished maitre do cirque, Mr. Robert Effing ham. his announcements are opportune, his lan guage appropriate and well chosen, and his deliv ery forcible and elegant. It is rare to see a gen tleman of such striking accomplishments in the position which he so ably tills. The chief clown, John Patterson. is brimful of fun and originality, while his colleagues, Conrad and McCarty, are as funny as they can well be. The menagerie is all the announcements purport it to be, and abounds with a choice variety of much that is rare and in structive. The den of Bengal tigers—the half dozen hyenas, as many panthers from the Rio Grande, are only a few of its many attractions. The zoological collection will certainly repay careful inspection, and presents a fund of instruction to those interested seldom met with. DEATH OF JOIIN G. MILES, ESQ.—John G. Miles, esq., died at the residence of his son, Dr. B. F. Miles, in Peoria, 111., on Thursday of last week, at the advanced age of 81 years.— For fifty-four years Mr. Miles was a resident of our town and a practicing and successful attorney at this bar. lie was a gentleman of fine culture, a good christian, and was univer sally respected by all who knew him, and there are but few in this town or county who did not know J. G. Miles. Ilis remains were brought to this place on Saturday night and interred in the cemetery on Sunday afternoon, followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of citizens. After life's fit fever he sleeps well. SCEIVARD OF THE ALMS- HousE.—At a meeting of the Directors of the Poor, in Shirleysburg, on Tuesday last, Jackson Har mon, esq., of Jackson township, was chosen Steward of the Alms-House to take the place of John Logan, esq., who has filled that po sition for a number of years past. Mr. Har mon will make an excellent officer, and under his supervision there will be a marked im provement in the conduct of affairs in that in stitution, and the tax-payers of the county will have no cause to regret the change.

PENNY WISE In nothing is the above more illustrated than ic 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, Ac., 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 pntil 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 for me I wish you would do something for me. About eight montlisago 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 bad effects that follow the use of these injurious drugs are often worse than the original trouble.

Is a saturnalia of splendor, equal to the glory of Oriental processions, in which are mingled the moving gilded chariots and the sensational and grotesque Mardi-Gras Carnival, TWO FULL CORNET BANDS OF MUSIC Because of the overwhelming proportion of the Great London, and the great outlay attending its transportation and daily exhibition, it will on ly pause in the larger towns or cities, where the population is fully ade quate to insure its expenses. But excursions and regular trains will be arranged for upon all lines centering at the place of exhibition, at great ly reduced rates of fare, and coupon tickets issued at all railroad stations, which will entitle the purchaser to admission into all the pavilions. It is hoped this will obviate all difficulty, and give all an opportunity to attend all these stupendous exhibitions. Two grand performances, at 2 and 7p. m. Doors open one hour pre vious. Admission, 50 cents ; Children under nine years, 25 cents. Re served Cushion Cairs, 25 cents extra. Comfortable seats for seven thousand people. In order to avoid crowding at the box offices on the grounds, tickets will be sold at the usual slight advance, in Blair's vacant room near the Drug Store.
