Some of the streams in Cambria county are being stocked with black bass. The price of the Altoona Evening Mirror has been reduced to one penny per day. A virulent type of diptheria is scourging the children of Tyrone and vicinity. A dozen of workmen are engaged in digging a trench for the extension of the Fifth street sewer, The. prettiest girl in Huntingdon was out to witness tl.r street parade of the circus on Saturday Thos(; who advertised extensively for the show did the business. There is nothing like nriaters' inl The grand jury of Bair county ignored the bk.. of indictment against Col.

The hotel, restaurant and clothing men did a capital business on Saturday. The others looked ou and smiled. A large lot ofEnglish and German Almanacs, for 1878, for sale at the JOURNAL Store. Albo a splendid lot of diaries. tf. The large number of people in town on Saturday is an irtanswerable argument in favor of a liberal su• ply of printers' ink. R. A. Beck, the Penn st• ?.et tonsor, has had the exterior of his shop painted in red and white, which gives it flashy appearance. "Father" Fry; ' , ger of the ..ewistown Ga zette, is the oldest editor in the Juniata Valley, both as regards age anu serYice in the harness. A pumpkin pie festival is an Altoona insti tution,inaugurated for the purpose of increas ing the finances of tlie First M. E. church of that city. The weather on Sunday was all that could have been desired, and in consequence prome naders were 0.. t in large numbers and could be seen in all directions. The crowd in town, on Saturday, was simply immense, and fully iiemoostrated what judi cious advertising will do. Old fogy business men should make a note of this. The Altoona Tribune says that "Hon. Samuel Calvin, with $15,000 P. R. R. stock in his pocket, is a queer sort of a District Attorney candidate for the Labor Reformers." The following is the score made by our wing-shots, on Friday afternoon last, in firing at glass balls : Conrad, 8 ; Fisher 7 ; Light ner, i ; Stewart, 0 ; Kline, 1; Dorris 4. The old saw, "that fools and their money are easily parted," was fully verified on Satur day by those who invested in the bogus jewelry sold by two or three sharpers on that day. A horse belonging to E. C. Summers, esq. of Oneida township, died on Saturday last from an overdose of new corn. Great care should be exercised in feeding green corn to horses. R. A. Orbison, esq., of this place, having taken the advice of Horace Greeley to "go west, - has flung his legal shingle to the breeze in St. Paul, Minn., where we hope he may amass a colossal fortune. All communications intended for the Joua- NAL should be addressed to THE JOURNAL, (or J. R. Durborrow & C 0.,) Huntingdon, Pa. If addressed to the editor individually much de lay may occur owing to his absence. Six or eight bushels of early or late Rose potatoes will be taken, on subscription, at this office. Also a good load of kindling wood. Apply to the residence of the editor at corner Bth and Washington streets. The show—the best that travels—come and has gone without the usual rowdyism or black' guardism that generally characterizes the em ployees of these institutions. A well discip lined show is just as possible as anything else. There was no curb-stone market on Satur day last, and consequently a great :u►nber of our citizens, who were on hand to lay in their Sunday's supply of butter, eggs, etc., were sorely disappointed. "If so soon to be done for what was it begun for ?" Brother Bowman, late of the Mt. Union Times, we understand, is about to take charge of Col. M'Crum's paper, ale Tribune, published at Miffiintow n, as . .clitor and publisher. As a matt, of course w•e wish him unbounded suc cess, and trust that it may the biggest bonanza that he ever came across. The large awning on Fifth street, opposite the JOURNAL building, where the “hoodlums" gather every Sunday afternoon and evening, presents a flue field of labor for some one who feels inclined to enlist in missionary work.-- Either a missionary or a police officer is badly needed in that neighborhood. We hear it whispered that a young man in this place is in the habit of raising his de pleted exchequer by means of forged checks. If we can get the particulars we will give his name and all the facts, and in the m.antime, if the rumor be true, the officers of the law should see that he is arrested and punished. Our old friend Skecse, strikes from the shoulder, as the fellow no doubt found out who was knocked off his pins in front of his restaurant, on Saturday afternoon. If be bad believed in the old saying, that "honesty is the beet policy," and practiced it, he would now be carrying one of his eyes in mourn- The sewer goes in at last. The press stuck to it and the dropping water wore away the rock. Now, then, Water Works next. The hack streets are a hundred times worse off now than they were before the purchase of the steamer. All the old safeguards have been neglected and abandoned. Give the poor peo ple work. Geo. W. Cornelius, esq., agent ofJohn Wil son lz Co., of Reedsville, Mifflin county, will call upon mars of our citizens, during the fall, and offer them elegant fabrics for winter clothing at very reasonable prices for cash or in exchange for wool. We have worn the manufacture of this firm for the last five years and we can recommend their goods. There are only $275,000, in round numbers, lying in the National Bank on deposit. This is about $8.60 for every man, woman and child in Huntingdon county, and yet there is scarcely a business man, in the county, that is not cramped to death for money. Nothing but gilt-edged paper can get a dollar of it.— Out upon such oppressors of the poor I Davy Lear, a "man and brother," who vege tates in Woodcock Valley, and who has never missed a circus or show of any kind as long back as we can recollect, was in town on Saturday, and after getting outside of a very liberal supply of "bug juice," which he gen erally manages to accomplish on such occa sions, he took in the exhibition, and judging from the smiles that wreathed his countenance, enjoyed it hugely. The Morning Globe, of Altoona, made its re appearance last week, enlarged and improved in its contents and make-up, and barring the very bad press work, looked quite respect able in comparison with the miserable daub that preceded the enlarged paper. The paper champions the cause of the Labor Reformers, and its editorials give evidence that Mr. Tom. linson, its editor, is no new hand on the tripod• We wish the venture any amount of pecuniary success Huntingdon county against any equal amoun• of territory in the union for healthy, portly, good looking women. The show dem onstrated this on last Saturday. 'Carly of our hungry neighbors want to get the sight of a few score of .2,plendid leaking women let them hie hither on one of our gala days. Beware 3'311 will go home without your heart. We are only sorry they can't vote. But they will, every father's daughter of them, some day.— We are in for this. The sad news reached Mount Union on Tuesck:- last that B. B. Thomas, of Philadel phia, IL., proprietor of Matilda Furnace, lo cated opposite town, while standing on the platform of a passenger• train and in the act of handing a message off at Coatesville, Ches• ter county, lost his balance, fell to the ground and received injuries which resulted in his death. Mr. Thomas was greatly interested in the iron and coal business, being the owner of two other furnaces, and also a coal mine in the ak.thracite region.—Times. A man calling himself Dr. Ferrard has been arrested and held to bail, in Altoona, on the charge of itinerant practice of medicine with out a license. There is a traveling quack visits this place, every week or two, engaged in the same business, and we think it would be doing the community a great benefit if he weie arrested and sent to quod. Judging from his rum-blossomed nose the only persons who Would be likely to suffer from his incarcera tion are the saloon keepers. He knows no more about medicine than a hog does about salvation. DISASTROUS FIRE —About half-past 10 o'clock, on Tuesday night last, the quiet of our town was disturbed by the cry of "fire l" and the ringing of the alarm bell, soon brought the firemen, and a goodly number of our citizens to the engine house, when it was announced that Maj. Wharton's shoe factory, situated in the extreme end of West Hunting don, at least one mile distant, was in flames. The steamer, drawn by firemen and citizens, was soon on its way, and in a very short time reached the scene, with steam up ready for action, but a half hour s time was lost before she could be got near the water, which was finally done by building a tramway down 'a steep bank and over the railroad track to the canal. The fire originated in the engine house, and if water could have been prsmptly ob tained, would have been confined to that building, but it soon ignited the tannery, ad joining the engine house, burning off the roof and doing considerable damage to the interior of the building. At one time it looked as if the main building, which was filled with cost ly and valuable nfßchinery, used in the man ufacture of shoes, would fall a prey to the flames, but through the herculean efforts of the Phoenix boys, who played a stream of wat • er upon it, it was saved from burning, but sustained cons. lerable damage by being flood ed with water. The walls of the engine house are still standing, but the engine, boiler, and other machinery are totally destroyed, and at present writing we cannot say whether the walls of the building can be used again or not. We hear the loss variously estimated at from $3,000 to $5,000 on building and ma chinery. We understand that Maj. Wharton carried a light. insurance upon his buildings but none upon the machinery. As before stated, the fire originated in the engine house, but from what cause is shrouded in mystery, but it looks as if it was the work of an incen diary. Some time will elapse before the factory can be put in running order again, and the dozen or more hands employed there will con sequently be thrown out of employment, which is to be very much deplored, especially at this season of the year. The borough authorities should at once go to work and grade roads to the canal, at every cross street in town, where necessary, so that the engine can be got to the water without the firemen being compelled to spend much valuable time in building bridges for that per• pose before they can make an effort to save the burning property, If the engine could have been supplied with water as soon as it arrived at the late fire, a few hundred dollars would have covered the loss, but owing to the carelessness, penuriousness, or whatever it may be, of our borough officers, in not pro viding a way of reaching the water, thousands of dollars worth of property was destroyed.— The Committee on Streets should give this matter their immediate attention, and if it takes hundreds of dollars to accomplish it, why spend them, and the citizens, whose property is at the mercy of the flames, under the present arrangement, will sustain you in any outlay that may be necessary for the protection of their property. Go to work at once, and don't allow another fire to find us as this one did. ANOTHER FORGER CAGED.—A man named Gc;orge Shafer, of Hill Valley, this county, has got himself into a peck of trouble by tampering with a check and passing it upon one of our merchanis. On Saturday last George entered the store of W. S. Taylor and pur chased an overcoat for eight dollars, in payment for which heofferedacheck of $BO.lO, which was received and the balance of $7O 10 given him in cash. The check was taken to the Union Bank for deposit when it was dis covered that there was some crookedness about it. An examination showed that the check, which had originally been drawn for $B.lO in favor of Mr. Walker, of Mount Union, and signed by A. W. Sims, had been "raised'' from the original sum to $BO.lO, which was bung lingly done by the addition of a "y" to the "eight" and annexing a cypher after the figure "8." An effort was made to arrest Shafer on Saturday afternoon, but owing to the im mense throng of people in this place on that day he was enabled to steer clear of those in search of him and make good his escape from town. On Sunday afternoon Constable West brook, in company with Mr. Taylor and George A. Port, esq., drove to Mt. Union, and learn ing there that the man they wanted resided in Hill Valley, they proceeded to his residence and arrested him. The prisoner was very talkative, and on the way to this place made a full and frank confession of the crime, and handed over to Mr. Westbrook the money lie had received from Mr. Taylor, and the only thing that seemed to annoy him was the fear that the "thing would be published in that d—n JoraNAL, and as so many of the papers go to his neighborhood his friends would hear all about it." From what we are able to learn Mr. Shafer is no novice in check "raising," as no longer ago than last August he was ar rested for a similar offence, but by some means had the case "fixed" before it came to trial. The party arrived bere at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when Mr. Shafer was placed in jail. He is a married man with a family of four children. The elephants stood on their heads, and the dogs said their prayers, and NIOIsZTGOMERY sells the best and cheapest ready made clothing for men, youths and boys that is to be found in town.

Tue lee - libel's of ',he Bar of Huntingdon county, met on Monday evening, Oct. Bth, 1877, to take action on the death of Lewis M. Stewart, esq., when Maj. It. Bruce Petrikin was called to the chair, and J. Hall Musser elected secretary. The chair stated the object of the meeting. On motion, a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. I). Caldwell, W. NIcK. Williamson and S. T. Brown, was appointed to draft ap propriate resolutions. The committe on resolutions reported the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted WHEREAS, An all wise Providence, in his own way and manner has, iu the high noon of manhood, called from the trials and temp tations of this life, our esteemed friend and professional brother, Lewis Mytinger Stewart, esq„ who, by his urbanity of manner, his kind ness of heart, and purity of character, won the friendship and esteem of all who knew him, and especially of the members of our bar ; therefore, do we resolve Ist. That the announcement of his death stirs within our breasts feelings of profound grief and heartfelt sorrow. 2nd. That although for many years our de parted brother actively engaged in the con troversies and conflicts incident to professional life, he preserved intact, that innate sense of justice, that purity of heart, that honesty of purpose, that conscientious regard for the feelings, opinions and rights of his fellow men which dignify our profession and should ever characterize its members, and in this regard, established for himself a character worthy of our emulation. 3. That in his deatb,the legal profession has lost an honest and intelligent member, and the Court a faithful and efficient officer. 4. That we duly tender our sincere and heartfelt condolence to his many relatives and friends, and especially to his aged mother, in this her great and overwhelming bereavement. 5. That as a mark of our high regard for the many good qualities, character and memory of our departed brother, we will wear the usual badge of mourning and will attend his funeral in a body. 6. That the proceedings of this meeting be engrossed, and the secretary is directed to furnish copies thereof to the mother and sisters of the deceased. On motion the meeting adjourned. R. BRUCE PETRIKIN, Pres't, J. WALL Mussen, Sec'y. PRAYER FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—The committee of the Sunday School Union, in concert with kindred institutions, have issued a circular and invite all Sunday school teach• erg and friends of the young to set apart Octo ber 28th and 29th as the days of united sup plication on behalf of Sunday schools for the present year. It is suggested that the following arrange ment should, as far as practicable, be observed: October 28th, from 7 to 8 o'clock, all Christians in private offer prayer on behalf of Sunday schools. That ministers be asked to preach special sermons upon the claims of Sunday schools. That in the afternoon the ordinary exercises of each school be shortened, and that the scholars be gathered for devotional exercises, interspersed with singing and appropriate addresses. To this service the parents of the scholars might be invited. That at some time during the evening the teachers, in union with other Christians, meet for thanksgiving and prayer. That on Monday morning, October 29th, between the hours of 7 and 8, teachers should devote time for bringing their scholars in pri vate prayer before God. That in the course of the day the female teachers of each school bold a meeting for united prayer and thanksgiving. That in the evening each church or congre gation be invited to hold a meeting . , at which the interests of the Sunday school should form the theme of the prayers and addresses. The Season of Intermittents. AU miasmatic complaints, in other words, all disorders generated by unwholesome ex halations from the earth or water, are preva lent at this season. In every section subject to the visitation of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent disease, the causes which produce these maladies are now actively at work. This, therefore, is a period of the year when the inhabitants of such districts should prepare their systems to meet the unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by a course of tonic and alterative treatment. Foremost among the invigorants, recommended by time and experience as a means of fortifying the system against all endemic and epidemic mala dies, stands llostetter's Stomach Bitters. By a timely use of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of an unhealthy soil may escape the sickness . which, without the aid of this potent ally of nature, will be apt to overtake the strongest. 0ct.19-Im. INSPECTION.—The inspection train of the Pennsylvania railroad company passed eastward on Saturday, on its way to Jersey City, opposite New York, from whence it start ed this morning, on the annual general inspec tion of tracks, road-bed, etc., of the entire line between Jersey City and Pittsburg. The cars will be occupied by leading officials of the road—division superintendents, supervisors, etc., and the lately-invented "trackometer," for testing the condition of the track, will be used on this occasion. The train passed here between two and three o'clock this afternoon, making the run from Jersey City to Pittsburgh, 444 miles in ten hours, and without a single stop.—Altoona Mirror, 16th inst.

SPECK.—On the 4th inst., at Mill Creek, Eleanor, and 19 days. _ Sister Speck was a member of the Lutheran church for many years, and her example was worthy of imitation by all who wish to hear the plaudit "Well done." In the Church we have lost a stand ard-bearer who was foremost in the work. She was brave, tender and true. Her heart always loved that which was right. She practiced what she taught, viz: That an immortal soul should be an earnest, true worker, employinz all the talents for God. During her sickness she suffered in tensely, yet so cheerful was her faith that it brought to ker joy and peace. Her life was a song of praise, free from doubt or murmur. With prayer she clasped the hand that governs the universe, and Blade that hand her stay. She prayed that she might be spared to see all her children in the church, but when she knew the hour was at hand she yielded to his will, and the band with which she had held the sword, feeble and trembling now, clung to the garments of the Lord, and the gate of light, of pearl, swung open for her weary soul at last. In the family they have lost a mother whose tenderness, cheerfulness, and kind christain coon eel always brought happiness in their t-ain. There were ties to keep her here, with their love they would have held her here, but the Master was dear to her and she heeded His call to higher and holi er service in the realms of perfect light and love. Never was human love more fervent and deep than that of this family for their friend. Nor was it confined to the family, for to know her was to love her. To the once glad-hearted the world seems empty. They find none on earth to fill the vacant place, and only find comfort in the assur ance that "earth has no sorrows that heaven can not cure." _ While we weep for her she is wearing the crown of life, and stands with the royal Master. A few hours ago so low—now beyond the stars. Heaven, with so many of our dear ones, nearer and dearer to us than ever before. 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 ou would do something for me. About eight months ago 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; be said it would oertainly 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.
