The Local Netce and the Cambria Freeman
have established a mutual admiration society ,
between them. While the passing compli
iuents are deserved the persistency to which
they stick to the "you tickle me and I'll tickle
you" policy cannot fail to amuse the reader.
Look out for the fish baskets they are nearly
ripe. Let the law be enforced against every

munity.
The Altoona Globe's "Romance" was very
wide of the mark, and in very bad taste. If
the facts had been correctly stated it would
have been extremely questionable whether a
gentleman's private affairs should be dragged
bctore the public in such a cruel and heartless
manner.
There should be a Literary Society or two
org-wized in every school district in the county
for the purpose of furthering literary pursuits
during the Winter, and every teacher, who
fails to take a part, ought to be given a wide
berth when next Winter's teachers are to be
selected.
It is said there are 1500 tramps, on the Penn
sylvania railroad between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. Enough to eat out all the "vil
lages" on the line. What if they should all
drop down on Ardenheim ? They would eat
it up terra-cotta works and all and it wouldn't
make "a square meal."
A young lady remarked to us the other day
that there were "no young gentlemen in Hun
tingdon, because every discreditable scrape
that comes to the surface finds all those who
mould be gentlemen in it." This is rough on
the would be young gentlemen ! they know
Vitt-ther it is true or not.
A rumor reached this place, one evening
last week, that John Bell, a colored youth of
this town, better known as "Satan,' had been
killed by the cars in the vicinity ofLewistown.
While his friends were lamenting his sudden
taking off "Satan" walked into their midst
worth half a dozen mangled "coons."
We do wish some of our delinquent sub
scribers would bring us some six or eight
bushels of Early or Late Rose potatoes. If
they cannot pay money they ought certainly
not to hesitate to pay in tubers. We will e'-
low five or ten cents more a bushel for Rose
potatoes than for any other variety.
There will be quite a number of candidates
for the County Superintency of Common
Schools at the next election, which will be
held on the 2rd Monday of May, if we recollect
correctly. As far as we are concerned we are
for the most earnest, active man, the man
with the most git-up•gii. No man, without
snap, need apply.
The Twice-a-Week, of Mifflintown, has csrs
pended. It was an excellent semi-weekly, but
it had too much opposition. There is nothing
in newspapers now. There are not a dozen
in the State that are paying and yet every
felkiw who can write two consecutive sen
tences without balking wants to go into the
newspaper business.
Hollidaysburg young ladies, when insulted
on the street by young blackguards, don't run
and scream, but they sensibly catch the
scoundrel and give him a trouncing. The
half-grown hoodlums, iu this place, who oc
cupy the street corners night after night, and
make indecent expressions as fema!es pass
them, should be treated in a similar manner
A boy about eleven years of age, left or was
stolen from his parents in Altoona, six weeks
ago. and since then nothing has been heard
of him. Ile is of light complexion, rather
large for his age, and had the initials of his
name, S. L., marked in indelible ink on his
arm. Edward Lippert., his father, is very
anxious for his return. Ills address is Altc , _na,
Pa.
If you think work is scarce just go down to
the loafers' re..eat, in the neighborhood of the
depot, and try to hire some one of the fixtures
there to do a little job for you, and you will
come away satisfied that the cry of scarcity of
work is all a sham. We tried it on Saturday
last, and every one of the half-dozen I hat we
attempted to employ was "busy" loafing on
the sunny side of the depot and complaining
of the hard times.
Death, for the first time, on Tuesday of last
week, entered the family circle of Rev. Jesse
R. Akers and bore away one of the twins so
well known and much admired by our West
Huntingdon people. The immediate cause of
the appearance of the grim monster was whoop
ing cough. We deeply sympathize with the
bereaved parents in their sore affliction. Mr.
Akers and family intended to leave for their
far off western home on the day of the sad
occurrence.
The raids on game are without parallel and the
people who run the risk of being shot for a
deer, or a rabbit, or a pheasant, or may be a
skunk, are too numerous to mention. It is
but a short time since we heard of some
"greeny" pulling up to shoot a "grouney" and
when in the act of pulling the trigger he dis
covered the object of his aim to be a six foot
sportsman. There are about three out of
every five who go gunning totally unfit to
handle a deadly weapon.
From the Osceola Reveille of last week we
learn that the extensive coal operators, Messrs.
Whitehead & Co., of that locality have suc
ceeded in securing some seven hundred con
tiguous acres of coal land from three tracts
owned by John Patton, esq., of Curwensville,
Messrs P. &A. Flynn and Adam Keeth. This
fine addition to their already extensive coal
fields will enable these enterprising operators
to push forward their operations with increased
energy. The many friends of our fellow towns
man, Mr. Whitehead, will be pleased to learn
of his good luck in securing these rich coal
fields.
Sylvester F. Wilson, who made such a hub
bub as a ticket scalper, in Philadelphia and
Camden, during the Centennial, has been on
trial in the latter city, for conspira7 to cheat
and defraud railroad corporations, and has
been acquitted. The trial lasted several weeks.
Wilson evidently acted badly and deserved
punishment if the testimony is to be believed.
As long as be purchased unused tickets from
honest buyers and sold them he was entitled
to sympathy, but when he went into altering
tickets, and forging passes, if he did so, then
he deserved to be punished. It looks as if lie
had escaped through the merest technicalities.
Judge Fisher, of the York county bench,
announced the other day that thereafter he
would, in view of the expense entailed upon
the county by the evil of intemperance, en
force the act of assembly imposing a fine of
$2 upon every person found intoxicated upon
the streets, and he thereupon called upon
every officer of the peace to arrest every of
fender and take him before the justice of the
peace and have the said fine imposed, and in
default of the payment of the same to have
the party committed to prison. The court
also stated that the fine collected under the
law must be handed over to the board of
school control for the benefit of popular edu
cation.
Since the discovery of the fact that kerosene
will produce hair all manner of preparations,
at big prices, will be put upon the market.—
Permit us to say to any of our readers, who
may wish to try the experiment, that one
ounce of good kerosene, worth less thau a
cent, will produce all the hair they may want.
In the latter part of May last, the editor of
this paper noticed a paragraph, in the Scientific
American, recommending coal oil for this pur
pose. Having become almost entirely bald,
only a few straggling hairs gracing his top
knot, he concluded to try the experiment.—
He first procured pure kerosene and, not hav
ing much faith, merely applied it about twice
a week, just before retiring at night. After
trying this for a week or two he tried crude
oil, but it was heavy and murky, and again he
returned to kerosene. In about three and a
half or four months hair began to make its
appearance, and 'now his rate bald pate is
covered with a luxuriant growth of hair. This
might have been accomplished much sooner
if the applications had been more frequent at
first.
Jury trials are becoming singular objects of
perplexity and irritation to both bench and
bar. The idea has gone abroad, and now per
lades many minds, that a jury is rot to decide
on facts, but to go outside of sworn toetitnony,
and by an argument in the jury room, conduct
ed by parties who hare resolved to acquit or
convict, secure a verdict in such an interest.
We see complaints in our exchanges every
day about juries ignoring facts, rejecting pos
itive testimony, and taking the bit in their
mouths "to do as they please." A case in
Huntingdon recently, where a number of noto
rious characters were arranged for car rob—
beries, showed that the jury refused to be
guided by clear testimony of guilt, and acquit
ted the parties in defiance of the judge's charge.
If the statement of this case, as we receive it,
is true, it is certainly the most arrogant as
sumption of power we have yet had on the
part of a Pennsylvania jury. Clear. uncon
tradicted testimony of guilt and yet an acquit
al, is too daring an act ; and such a result is
only to be ascribed to the persuasive powers
of an adroit attorney. Above all things, the
jury box must be kept pure ; not only pure,
but its intelligence and fearlessness in the per
formance of a sworn duty must always be of a
character to render impeachment impossible.
The jury system is the oldest of the privileges
which were secured by English Magna Charts
—and the form in which it was first originated
has never been changed. All the other feat
ures of the English court, their machinery and
their adjuncts, have been changed by the
chances of social and political progress, but
the jury remains unaltered in every particular.
When we hear of results like those referred to,
the question is at once suggested, is a change
demanded ? Or can the system be improved?

JOSEPH SAXTON.—Prof. Alfred M.
Mayer, in the course of a series of articles,
published in the Scientific American Supple
ment, "Ox THE MINUTE MEASUREMENTS OF MOD
ERN SCIENCE," speaking of the application of
rotating mirrors to the measurement of minute
lengths, angels and times, thus introduces Mr.
Joseph Saxton's Reflecting Comparator :
This very ingenious application of the laws of
the reflection of light was first made by Mr. Jos
eph Saxton. Mr. Saxton was one of the most
ingenious inventors and skillful mechanics among
the rag number which our country has the honor
to claim as her sons. As Mr. Saxton has done so
much by his inventions and skillful work in ad
vancing the art of making minute measurement, I
think that a few won't concerning his personal
' history -.aay be interesting to our readers.
Joseph Saxton was born in Huntingdon, Penn
sylvania, in 1799. At the age of twelve he began
work in his father's nail factory, and here first
showed his inventive genius by making a capital
improvement in the machinery in his father's shop.
Subsequently be was apprenticed to the village
watchmaker ; but his employer dying, he left his
native villago on the Juniata, in a boat made by
his own hands, and floated in it down to Harris
burgh ; here he sold the boat for $lO, a supper,
breakfast, and a night's lodging, and going on
his journey reached Philadelphia a youth of eight
een years.
Just before he left home, he met with one of
those accidents which often—to those who deserve
th,m—:urn the energies of a mind into a hitherto
unknown sphere of thought and action. One day,
on driving into his rifle, with the ramrod, a ball
covered with a greased patch, the ball sprang back
with such velocity, from the elasticity of the en
cleseul air, as to project the ramrod from the rifle.
Determined to drive the ball home, he placed the
end of the ramrod against a tree and giving a
rush at it with the rifle; the ball went down—but
he also—for the ball descended into the rifle so far
and so rapidly that heat was envolved from the
compressed air (like in the experiment of the fire
syringe) sufficient to project young Saxton at full
length on the ground. Recovering his conscious
ness he began to think of the cause of this re
markable explosion, and he reasoned that the air,
when suddenly compressed, was like a nail when
suddenly compressed by a blow of a hammer—
they both being heated by the mechanical action
on theta. Sub-equently he found out that the rea
coo which he had discovered for himself was that
generally adopted in books on natural philosophy,
and this fact gave hint a reasonable confidence in
his own reasoning powers and stimulated him to
apply himself to the study and in7estigation of
the actions of nature.
In Philadelphia he worked at watch-making
and engraving; and while there he, with the cele
brated machinist Isaac Lukens, made the clock
for Independence Hall which, to this day, sounds
the hours from the belfry of that historic building.
Au insatiable desire to enlarge his knowledge of
things and men made him live low and save his
earnings so that he might visit England. Reach
ing London, he placed his money in the care of a
banking-house, just in time to lose it b 3 the fail
ure of the bank. He awoke one morning to find
himself dependent entirely on his own exertions in
the heart of that mighty city, without money and
without friends. Driven to his own resources he
invented and constructed several ingenious me
chanical toys which had a great success at the
Adelaide Gallery of practical Science, then one of
the most popular resorts of London. Here he met,
among many of the eminent engineers and men of
science, Telford, Brunel, Farady, and Wheatstone,
With the latter he was associated as assistant in
making the celebrated experiments on the velocity
of electricity ; indeed he not only constructed the
apparatus but he actually worked it for Wheat
stone in his experiments. How much of the suc
cess of 'Wheatstone was due to Saxton, I leave for
those who are skilled experimenters to infer.
'While in London he was the first, in 1533, to
make a magneto-electric machine; which exalted
to such power the magneto-electric currents, re
cently discovered by Faraday, that his machine
decomposed water and gave an electric light be
tween charcoal points. Three years after this, in
1836, Clarke of London, merely changed the form
of the instrument, and claimed it as his own in
vention; but Faraday, Wheatstone and Danill
stated that Saxton's machine had been exhibited
in 1833, before the British Association for the Ad
vancement of Science at its Cambridge meeting,
and that he was the undoubted inventor. Yet, to
this day, even in American text books, the ma
chine is from in . /at-ions ignorance called Clarke's
magneto electric machine.
Saxton was always fond of field-sports, and in
the course of his experiment in firearms he invent
ed the metalic cartridge now so extensively used
in all armies. Ile failed, however, to patent this
invention, which had been the source of great
emolument to the owner of the patent right. Mr.
Saxton was also, I believe, the first to apply a
sighting telescope to the rifle.
While in London he made many inventions,
among others the fountain-pen. a water gague for
steam-boilers, his reflecting comparator, the loco
motive differential pulley described by Hawkins
at the 1833 meeting of the British Association ;
also a method of determining the position of the
magnetic poles in the interior of the earth. The
rasults obtained by this method were subsequently
found by clan mathematical ineeetigatione of the
celebrated Poisson of France. He also made a
machine which obtained electric currents from the
earth's magnetism. and another which cut epicy
clobial teeth for gearing.
While in London he was offered the responsible
position of director of the printing machinery of
the Bask of England. His ardent desire to return
home prevented him from accepting this position.
On the eve of his departure for his native land an
entertainment was given him by several of the
moot eminent savana and engineers of London.
At the dinner a work on mechanics was presented
to him by John Isaac Hawkins, on the fly leaf of
which is the following inscription :
"Presented April 26, 1837, by the editor, to
Joseph Saxton, Esq., of Philadelphia, at a fare
well dinner given to him in London, previous to
his departure for America, by eighteen of his
friends, as a token of the high estimation in which
they hold him as a mechanician of the first rank,
and a man of scicence generally; in which esti
mation his fellow citizen the editor stands second
to no one." About the same time there appeared
the following in one of the Enillish journals of
science : _
"Mr. Saxton, of Philadelphia, now in London,
who is justly celebrated for his acute feeling in
regard to the nature and value of accuracy in me
chanism, and who is reputed not to be excelled by
any man in Diro eor America for exquisite nicety
of workmanship, has made an instrument for cut
ting the teeth of wheels truly epicycloidal. Such
an instrument ought to be in the hands of every
engineer."
here we find Saxton about to return to his home,
his character deceloped into nobility and self—
reliance. and his mind enriched by the knowledge
gathered in London during his association with
the first men of science and engineers of that day ;
and also honored by them as a worthy fellow
worker.
Thus we see Saxton "hoisted by his own petard"
—the explosion of his rifle fire-syringe landing
him on high ground in London.
Ile reached Philadelphia in 1837 and was made
carator and constructor of the standard weighing
apparatus of the United States Mint. here he
made several notable inventions; we will only
mention the perfection of Gobreeht's medal-ruling
machine, and a stove for burning anthracite coal,
provided with an automatic valve to regulate the
draft. The valve was worked by the expansion of
two metals whose action caused the . stove to keep
at an equal temperature.
In 1337 Mr. Saxton was awarded the Scott leg—
acy medal by the Franklen Institute for the in
vention of the Reflecting Comparator, which in
strument will be fully described in this article.
In 1543, Mr. Alex D. Bache succeeded Mr. Hass
ler as superintendent of the U. S. Coast Survey
and he at once placed M-. Saxton in charge of the
cou.stru-tion of the standard balances, weights,
and measures to be presented to each of the States
fer ensuring uniformity of measures in all parts of
the country. In IVashington Mr. Saxton passed
the remainder of his days, employing his talents
in giving increased accuracy and improved con
struction to the many refined instruments which
have aided in gaining for the U. S Coast Survey
the high reputation vi hich it has among all nations.
Mr. '•axton had a manly and benerelent charac
ter. He WAS singularly modest and only to those
who, like the writer, knew him intimately did he
give forth those suggestive thoughts which show
ed his intellectual I ewers. Mr. Saxton died, deep
ly lamented by his many friends, in Washington,
on the 26th September, 1873, alter a lingering ill
nest' from paralysis.
Professor Henry in his memoir of Saxton, before
the National Academy of Science (and from which
our biographical facts have been chiefly obtained)
says of Saxton :—"He neither pestered the world
with premature projects destined to failure because
tha necessary contemperaneous conditions were
not present; nor retarded the alvanee of improve
ment by advocating old errors under new forms.
On the contrary, his innovations were founded
on well-established principles, and consequently
were positive additions to human power and effi
ciency."
SUICIDE—A WOMAN CUTS HER.
THROAT I—The little town of Orbisonia was
thrown into feverish excitement, on Thursday
forenoon of last week, by one of its citizens
committing suicide by cutting her throat with
a pen knife. The victim was Mrs. Henry Mil
ler, a lady held in high esteem by all who
knew her. She was found lying on the floor
of her bed room, with her face to the wall, in
a pool of blood, with the instrument of death,
a small pen knife, near her. No reason can
be assigned for the commission of the rash act,
but it Is thought by many that she was suffer
ing from temporary insanity. A jury of in
quest was summoned, but no evidence was ob
tamed calculated to explain the cause of her
rash deed. Mrs. Miller leaves a husband and
three small children to mourn her terrible
death.
Borace Greely's advice was :—"Young man,
go west." Our advice is to the men, young
and old, go to MONTGOMERY'S Clothing
Store, where yon will find a splendid assort—
ment of ready made Clothing for Men, Boys
and Youths, bought as low as any merchant
in the county can buy, and will be sold at
correspondingly low figures. Don't forget the
place, corner of sth and Washington streets.
Call and see us.
Farmers, before you buy your Dress Goods
and Domestics, you will consult your own

COURT PROCEEDINOs.—Contrary to the
general rule of criminal week, the attendance
on Monday was small, but each successive day
seemed to materially increase the number of
persons who resorted to the court room. This
may be accounted for perhaps by the fact that
only petty cases were tried on Monday while
those of more general interest w7re reserved
for a later day.
Robert Rodgers, a boy of about fifteen years
of age, was indicted for open lewdness, that
is, for bathing in a public place, and exposing
himself to passing persons. His defense was
that the place where lie bathed was not public
(it being in fact a covered aqueduct at Mt.
Union) and that lie concealed himself at the
approach of the ladies who testified against
him. The jury acquitted the boy and divided
the costs between him and the prosecutrix,
Mrs. Tillie Hanawalt.
Theodore Macemore, indicted for fornica
tion and bastardy, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced in the usual form, viz: $5.00 fine,
$3O for the expenses of the prosecutrix, Letty
B. Colt, and $l.OO per week for seven years
with secured bond in the sum of $5OO.
Shadrach Wilson, in the same fix, went
through the same mill. He was prosecuted
by Sarah C. Bumbarger.
Jeremiah Repp, charged with the same of
fense by Minerva Martin, preferred n. trial and
the jury found him gui.ty. He received the
usual sentence.
Jones B. Moore similarly charged by Mary
E. Chilcothe, also wanted a trial and his case
afforded a whole evening's entertainment to
those who delight in attending the criminal
court. The jury had to decide between the
oath of Moore, who swore he didn't, and the
oath of Mary who swore he did, and they con•
chided that it was a deep puzzle to solve.—
Moore got off with the payment of half the
costs.
A number of indictments were found last
August against Alexander Norris, for crooked
dealing in liquors. These cases came up for
trial on Monday evening, and Norris proposed,
through his counsel, to plead guilty on the
charge of selling liquor without license, if the
District Attorney would enter nolle prosequis
in the other cases against him, it being under
stood that he, Norris would pay the costs in
all, and that the court would impose the
heaviest sentence allowed by law for this of
fense. The District Attorney refused to ac
cept the proposition, even after an intimation
from the court that a conviction in every case
would only result in the imposition probably
of $4O additional fine:and 40 or 60 days im
prisonment. Pending the consideration of
this arrangement court adjourned until 9 A. M.
and on Tuesday morning the proposition of the
defendant was accepted.
The case of S. E. Fleming, et al. vs. Ephra
im Cornman, guardian, was next tried. It had
been tried before, at the January Term, but
the jury failed to agree. The present trial ran
through nearly two days and resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiffs. The question at is—
sue was whether a judgment entered in this
county in favor of Ephraim Cornman, against
Joseph S. Cornman, formerly proprietor of
the Monitor, was fraudulently entered for the
purpose of hindering or defeating subsequent
creditors of Jos. S. Cornman, or whether it
had been paid by Joseph, and afterwards kept
open for fraudulent purposes. On the trial
Ephraim, who is Joseph's father, alleged that
large sums of money were placed in his bands
as guardian of the minor children of Dr. Dan
iel Cornman, of Pittsburg, and that be actual
ly loaned $lOOO of it to his son. When asked
whether he had given a bond as guardian he
said he bad not, and in answer to questions
as to what he had done with a balance of
about $2OOO which had been placed in Lis
hands in trust for his wards he could not ac
count for a cent of it—it was gone, and he
himself was not worth a dollar I The evidence
in the case developed a state of facts concern
ing the manipulation of Joseph's financial of
fairs as to bring a blush to the cheek of every
honest man who listened to it.
On Wednesday afternoon the criminal list
was again taken up. An indictment charging
John O'Brien, John Bolin, John Hickey, Pat
rick Dougherty and William Byrne with the
larcency of about $3OO worth of knives, re
volvers, &c., from the store of Samuel McCul
loch, in this town, on the night of October 26,
was first tried, and resulted in an acquittal of
all the defendants, although some of the stolen
property was found in the possession of sev
eral of them and they were identified as hav
ing been seen here on the day before the rob
bery, and in Harrisburg in an alleged resort
of tramps and robbers on the next evening,
where they were arrested. Their acquital was
doubticee due to the very eloquent argument
made in their behalf by Mr. Lvtle.
On Thursday the case of the Commonwealth
vs. H. M. Butler and Geo. M. Cresswell, indict
ed for maintaining a fish-basket at an outlet
to their mili-race, was tried, but they were
acquitted because they had not been tried first
before a Justice of the Peace as required by
the fish and game laws.
Pamelia J. Randolph was then tried for per
jury. Au account of this case was given in
the JOURNAL at the last term of Court. The
trial resulted in a verdict of guilty. This end
ed the criminal list.
Abraham Yingling vs. David Stumbaugh.
Feigned issue to test the validity of a judg
ment entered by Yingling against Stumbaugh
for $148.50. The evidences of fraud were ab
solutely overwhelming, and the jury rendered
a verdict for the defendant.
Thomas W. Myton, late Treasurer of Hun
tingdon county, fur use of H. S. Wharton's
trustees, vs. R. Bruce Petriken. This was an
action brought to recover the half of a surplus
bond given by Major Petriken on the purchase
at tax sate, of a tract of land belonging to H.
S. Wharton and Frank Hefright jointly. Maj.
Petriken made a deed for half of the land to
Hefright, upon the latter's signing a release.
The main question in this case was whether
the release by one of the joint owners is a se
lease as to both, and it being a purely legal
question the opinion of the Court upon it was
reserved.
J. Reed .Meertim vs. Janey - & Andrew..—
This was a suit to determine the title to a
store bought at sheriff's sale by Joseph Duff
and afterwards sold to Meerut°, which sale
Janey & Andrews alleged to be fraudulent as
against tbem, they being subsequent creditors
of J. M. Johnston, from whom the store was
sold in the first instance. The purchase by
Duff and Meerum was shown to be entirely
regular and honest and the def9ndants aband
oned the case on its trial.
DEATH OF WM. C. WAGONER.—The
many friends of Will Wagoner, in this place,
will be astonished and pained to hear of his
unexpected death, which occurred in Phillips
burg ou Monday night, of the 12th inst. The
Phillipsburg Journal of the 17th inst., in no
ticing the sad event, says :
He had been absent for a few weeks but return
ed home before election day, complaining of not
being well, but was not confined to his room and
bed until last Friday. On Sunday his physician
was called in to see him, but : othing serious was
apprehended, aril he hoped to be about in a few
days. However on Monday evening one of his
friends called at his room, and found him suffering
with pain on his chest, more than usual, and re
quested to be raised up, and in the act of moving
from the bedside, he • fell heavily on his friend,
both sinking to the floor together. Assistance
being summoned, he was removed to his bed again,
when lie expired without a wort!. Thus appar
ently without a warning has another spirit been
summoned to its eternal home. Mr. Wagoner was
born in Covington, Ohio, April 15, 1833, and after
the death of his father, found a home at the age of
nine years with his uncle, L. G. Kessler, Esq.,
then residing at Mill Creek, Huntingdon county,
in this State. lie manifested a more than usual
degree of brightness and ability as a young man.
and became popular in almost every position. lie
filled the office of Prothonatary for two terms in
his adopted home, Huntingdon county. lie also
volunteered his service in behalf of the Union dur•
ing the late war, and enlisted in the 125th regi
ment of Pennsylvania volunteers. He was pro
moted to the Lieutenancy of hiscompany, and fell
at the battle of Antietam severely wounded in the
thigh, placing him in the hospital from which he
was discharged unfit for duty. He was entitled to
a pension for some years. Phillipsburg became
his home in 1867 and for some years be was senior
member of the firm of Wagoner & Bro., doing a
pretty extensive merchandising business. During
the past four years he had been dealing pretty ex
ttnsively in the shave's shingle trade in connec
tion with some other breaches of business. He
was well and favorably known in this community
as a courteous and genial friend to all, and unfor
' tunately his own greatest enemy. lie was a vic
tim, at times only however, to the strong power of
ardent spirits, of which no one seemed more fully
to realize the terrible misfortuue than himself
Had it not been for this weakness he might have
ranked with the first citizens of the place, finan
cialy and otherwise.
. . .
The remains of the deceased were taken in
charge by the members of the Artisans' order of
Mutual protection, of which he was an active and
efficient member and Recorder at the time of his
death. His fellow comrades of the war, Company
E. of sth Regt. N. Q. of Pennsylvania under com
mand of Capt. Simler, and a large number of
friends followed his remains to the grave on Wed
nesday morning.

PLATE GLASS WORKS.—The Hunting.
don (Pa.) Journal wants the Council of that
place to take immediate action and donate a
site for the plate glass works contemplated by
M. Gobert, whose letter was read before our
city council at the meeting held on the Bth
instant. The Journal says that five times the
amount required for the site has already been
raised for the purpose of erecting glass works
at Iluntingdon, but intimates that as the sum
is not sufficient to erect the works, the best
thing to be done is to donate a site to M.
Gobert's company, and thus secure the intro
duction of a vast industry at little cost to the
citizens.
The editor of the Journal states that be has
received a letter from M. Gobert, requesting
him to bring the fact to the notice of the citi
zens of a number of towns, Cumberland
amongst them, that the works, if erected, will
be located in the town offering the greatest
advantages in the shape of donation of land,
exemption from taxation, grant of privileges,
ac.
With the construction of the proposed new
railroad Cumberland's freight facilities will be
much better than those of any of the other
towns mentioned in the letter, and the glass
company would certainly be secure from ex
tortionate freights ; besides we bare cheap
fuel, plenty of timber and the material for glass
making. These facts will no doubt have con
sideruble weight with the proposed company,
and with a reasonable effort on the part of our
citizens Cumberland has a fair chance to get
the works.—Cumberland (Md.) Civilian.

Renovation not Prostration.
Did any enfeebled human being ever become
strong under the operation of powerful cath
artics or salivants ? It is sometimes necessary
to regulate the bowels, but that cannot be
done by active purgation, which exhausts the
vital forces and serves no good purpose what -
ever. The only true way to promote health
and vigor, which are essential to regularity of
the organic functions, is to invigorate, dici
pline and purify the system at the same time.
The extraordinary efficacy of Hostetter's
stomach Bitters in cases of debility or irregu
larity of the organs of digestion, assimilation,

this superb tonic and corrective. It has no
equals, moreover, as a preventitive of chills

To emigrants and travelers it is particularly

OF INTEREST TO LETTER WRITERS.—
Postmaster-General Key has addressed the
following circular to postmasters throughout
the United States :
"Postmasters are required to keep a com
plaint book, in which all letters reported to
them as lost are to be entered, and, after ma
king examination in their offices, they- are
required to report the loss with all particulars,
without delay. The public are also invited to
report promptly all losses or irregularities in
the correspondence to the Chief Special Agent,
Postoffice Department, Washington D. U., and
investigation will follow. If all losses should
be promptly reported it will be the means of
correcting the irregularities, and the interest
of the public, as well as the efficiency of the
postal-service will be enhanced in a most im
portant degree. The omission of the county
in the address of letters is one of the great
causes of delay anti missending."
EXTRA PRECAUTION.—The Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company are determined to
put a stop to the excess of tramps along that
thoroughfare, and by the sanction of Gov.
Hartranft a number of special constables have
been appointed, who are authorized to arrest
all such characters who may be travelling on
the line of the road. It seems that the crop
of nomads this fall is of the most vicious de
scription, and it may yet be necessary to or
ganize vigilance committees to keep them in
check. Forcible measures must soon be taken
against a class who are nearly all idle vaga
bonds. Of course there are honorable excep
tions, but as a general thing the tramp is an
outcast whose hand i 3 against every one, and
he will soon discover that every one's hand is
against him.—Altoona Globe.

READ AND LEARN FOR YOURSELF,
Many valuable discoveries and much useful

In nothing is the above more illustrated than 17 the
course many pursue in certain kinds of disease. In order
to save a few cents they have what they call their own
prescriptions, inch as Balsam Copabia, Turpentine, &c.,
little knowing the baneful influence these drug. have on
the constitution, the disgusting smell from the breath,
and, with all these disadvantages, there is no saving of
money, as the done 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 for me I wish
you would do something for me. About eight mouthing°
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 he all right in two or three days, for remember the
bad effects that follow the use of these injurious drugs are
often worse than the original trouble. Price—Male pack

Such a wonderful change in so short a time is
Mr. Horton deemed of sufficient p.
importance to make public to the r y
world. From practical experiments
our chemical friend became convinced
that Petroleum if properlyprepared og
and freed from all irritating and t
illuminating substances had the remark-a
able property of restoring the hair to its
natural state and color; still further ex- tS
perimenta were necessary to produce an t
article combining the medicinal qualities
of the oil in an agreeable form sad oder,
which renders it susceptible of being CA
handled as daintily as the famous Eau de : 1
Cologne; he now presents
to the pahlio without fear of contradio. Zig
