The protracted meeting started in the M. E.
church, several weeks ago, is still in progress,
and nightly a goodly number of mourners
present themselves at the altar for prayer. A
number of persons hare professed religion
since the inauguration of the services.
Mlle people who are so much afraid that the
business of the town will be ruined by giving
people the truth, do nothing to save us from
a scourge. Oh, no. What do they care about
the lives of their neighbors as lung as they
can make the usual number of dimes.
The openingofthe public schools, on Monday
last, we regard as one of the most flagrant
outrages upon the helpless innocents that we

Magnanimous—The tlionzhtfultiess of that
teacher at the closing session of the late
county Institute, is re,!Tard to the publishing
of the proceedings in all of the county papers,
after borrowing a copy of the JOURNAL from
his neighbor in order to read the proceedings
already published. That chap has any amount
of cheek, and a good sprinkling of impudence
to boot.
At a recent meeting of the Altoona Gas
Company, held at the office of the P. R. R., in
Philadelphia, the price of gas was reduced
from $2.50 to $2.20 per thousand feet. A
similar movement by the Huntingdon Gas
Company would be in order, and it would be
hailed with pleasure by consumers, who are
now payine an exorbitant price for an inferior
quality of gas.
The fact that parents will not permit the•r
children to attend school is evidence that they
are in favor of closing the schools until this
community is rid of the loathsome disease now
in our midst. If the directors do not feel like
complying pith the wishe: ofa large majority of
the citizens they should resign and let men be
appointed who will have sonic regard for the
health and lives of the children.
The favor of our esteemed correspondent,
Hugo G. Olawsky, is to l:aud, and it would
give us pleasure to publish any thing from his

columns. We refer to the discussion of
religious themes. On any other moral ques

Hope we will hear from bum again.
02 Christmas evening the Baptist, Lutheran
and German Reformed Sabbath Schools met
in their respective churches and enjoyed them
selves in a becoming manner. Beautiful
Christmas trees, laden with gifts for the little
folks, were erected in each of the churches.—
Ou Thursday evening of last week a similar
entertainment was given in the Presbyterian
church, in this place, at which the West Hun
tingdon and Smithfield schools were present.
Some vandal is in the habit of stealing rose
bushes out of the cemetery. Recently some
two or three choice varieiies were stolen from
the lots of Hon. H. G. Fisher, and in this in
stance, we are soy to say, the guilty party
wits-a. female. Those persons guilty of this
esreputable business will find themselves in
trouble if they don't quit it at once. This is
the meanest kind of thieving, and the guilty
ones should be made to suffer the severest
penalty of the law.
This paper conducted for the benefit of
the mazy, and not in the interest of the few.
This is why it is so tiberally patronized by the
masses. While our vagaries may occasionally
hurt badly, in the very next issue there may
be a salve for the deepest wound. We are
disposed to live and let live. A stroke at us
is always, at the opportune time, returned
with interest. This, we think, is pretty well
understood. :!lo take due notice and govern
yourself accordingly.
There are quite a numberof persons in town
whir violate every sense otdrcencgandpropriety
in constantly 'running about 11. e street and in
to pubic press wLile members of their family
are down with the prevailing contagious dis
ease. This is an outrage, and the people
should rise up and see that the authorities put
a stop to it, or if they will not, let them take
the matter in their own Lands. Necessity
knows no law. Self-preservation is the first
law of nature. It is only in this way that
every house in town can be kept from being
polluted.
The Local News informs us that the notice
of the intention to apply to the Legislature
for the repeal of the Special Printing Law was
left out of the JOURNAL last week. If this was
so the editor knew nothing about it. He has
nothing to do with making up the paper and
very frequently knows nothing about what its
contents are, outside of what he has written.
We are glad the News has called our attention
to this matter. We shall be careful to swear
only to what we know to be the facts. It the
News wants to provoke us to make fight over
this matter somebody will get beaten.
One ofollr dear"brethering" who has strayed
off to the wilds of ehicag.o,writes us front that
"wilderness,' under date of Dec. 29, 1877: "I
gazed upon the "tab" and it said Aug. 15th,
1877;" hence in order to he able to ctn:pla
cently fold my arms athwart my capacious
receptacle for "wittics" on January Ist, and
exclaim, "I owe uo man a dollar," I enclosed
you a two dollar bill. Temptations are un
usually great at this festive season of the year,
therefore, I beg you to bear with me while I
take the liberty of imploring you not to
grander this vast sum in riotous living, as
men are sometimes apt to do who suddenly
come into possession of great wealth. With
the compliments of the season, and with real
genuine, good wishes for yourselves and the
JOURNAL, etc." Be not afraid. While the temp
tation is extremely great, fortunately we have
sworn off for the new year.
SPORTING No MS.—
The members of the Amateur Rille Associa
tioa have not been out for practice for several
weeks past. Why is this thus ?
A party of five hunters, among them J. It.
Carinon and W. P. Conrad of our town, last
week succeeded in killing three deer in the
upper end of the county.
A party of coon hunters were out on Satur
day night, and after spending the night in

The largest deer that we have heard of dur
ing the season just closed, was killed, during
the latter part ofDecember, in Garrett county,
illa:yiand, by a farmer named Breneman. The
carcass weighed 31d pounds.
But few deer have been killed in this im
mediate vicinity during the season just closed,
and if the game pirates will let there alone
until next year they will be more numerous
than for a number of years back.
David S. Black, of our town, who has made
considerable reputation as a hunter this season,
on Monday last killed a buck, on Warrior
Ridge, that brought down the scales to the
tune of one hundred and fifty pounds.

Some of the employes at Fishers' coal mines,
in the Clearfield regions, a few days ago, shot
an English Hare and forwarded it to Hon. H.
G. Fisher of this place. We did not see the
cnimal, but understand that its hair was 'per
fectly white, and its body several times larger
than our hares. They were imported to this
country, several years ago, by an English
gentleman, whose name we cannct remember,
,nd turned loose in the region named. Al
though.a number of years have elapsed since
they were taken there, they are very scarce,
owing no doubt to the destruction of t'!:eir
young by the wild animals of that section.—
They are said to be entirely unlike our native
hares, never burrowing in the ground or is
trees, but inhabit clumps of bushes, thickets,
or any place that will all'orl them a slight
shelter.
SmALL-Pox.—"Oh that horrible dis
ease !" we imagine we hear some of our readers
exclaim, and well they may. In almost every
age since the ushering in of the christian era
small-pox has been regarded as one of the
most loathsome and frightful diseases that has
ever afflicted humanity. Before the discovery
of vaccination it depopulated whole provinces,
swept whole armies out of existence, and al
most annihilated whole tribes. What can be
more appalling to mankind than the reflection
that the bravest and stoutest man, full of
health and buoyancy of spirits, can be seized
and cut down in n tnyr tiny°, by . cb dinoaco au
loathsome that its foulness fills the atenos
pher3, and it can be detected many rods away,
and should the unfortunate victim recover
from its terrible effecte, he is made a fright
for all the remainder of his life. Vaccination
has robbed it of much of its terrors, in fact. its
limits have been so Much circumscribed that
meu who have the reputation of being clever
physicians, for half a tcore of years, do not
always recognize it. Dr. Wood, one of the
most eminent authorities upon this subject,
observes : "It is impossible to describe minutely
all the shapes which the VAKIOLOID DISEASE AS
-81.721E5. Mere is every shade between the slilght
nit .symptoms, scarcely recognizable as having
affinity with small-poz, and the nearest possible
appi ouch to the regular disease." Again : "In
whatever form tlee varioloid disease appears, IT
WANTS THE PECULIAR. ODOE. OF SMALL-PGX, and
secondary fever is very rare." It is this wide
diversity ofappearaiice and want of typicaluzss
that misleads inexpeitiettecti physiciaus.
This horrible, loathsome, dreadful disease,
the dread of mankind fur a thousand years,
has been introduced into Huntingdon, and
play.:d and toyed with, not to say farmed, as
If i t, were a thing of pleasure. We will give
the history of it as n tar as we have been able
to ascertain by diligent inquiry and investiga
tion.
The first week in Noverattcr last., if we
recollect correctly, a report was put in cir
culation that small-pox had broken out at the
residence of Mr. Barrass, on Washington
street, in West Huntingdon. In a few - days
thereafter the physicians, Drs. Miller and
Brumbaugh,garte out that it was only chicken
pox and that there was no nece,sity for alarm.
This allayed the fears of the public, and very
little attention was given further to the mat
ter ut the time. In the meantime, a week or
ten days later, a member of our household,
who had been spending several weeks in Bed
ford, Pennsylvania, returned home. and im
mediately informed us that a report was in
circulation, in that place, that small-pox was
prevalent here. She stated that she had met.
the mother of Mrs. Barrass, with whom she
was acquainted, who stated that she had re
ceived a letter from one of her daughters
stayin g in thieplace, in which it was stated
that r. Barrass had returned from Pittsburg,
where he had been working ou the Union
Depot., unwell, and that it. was supposed he
had varioluid, and bad given it to his little son.
The letter stated further that when the Doctor
filik called he pronounced it chicken-pox but
thllt at a subsequert visit the Doctors pro
nounced it small-pox, adding that 06 letter
was written ill anticipation of the fact that
they might be closed up, and all communica
tion cut. off. Here was a straight-forward un
varnished statement written to a mother.—
There could be no doubt about it. Daughters
do not manufacture tales of this sort fur their
mothers. But let us see how well this state
ment has been verified by the facts.
The little son of Mr. Barrass had a severe
attack and his face is badly marked. As much
so as the general run of small-pox cases. We
know whereof we speak having visited the
family. The disease first appeared upon his
face, and lasted from twvlve days to two weeks.
This is the usual course of small-pox itf which
all the authorities agree. Chicken-pox lasts
from five to eight days according to alike
agreement of the authorities, and appears on
the Body first. A day or two before lie went
down he played a good part of au afternoon
with Mr. Lewis Gahegin's children, and one
of Mr. Gahegau's little daughters had a slight
attack. There were only a dozen or two of
v=sides, "but," said Mrs. Gahegan, "the scabs
on her back, ware as large as five cent pieces."
Here too the disease first appeared on the
bead and face, and lasted from ten days to two
weeks. The next cas- , reported was the case
of a little son of Mr. James Flight. Mr. Bar
rass visited Mr. Hight's and retused at first to
enter the house stating that they had chicken
pox in his family. Mrs. Hight, who is our in
formant, assured him that they did not fear
chicken-pox and he entered. In due course
of time the little son of Mr. Hight bad small
pox or some disease similar thereto and equal
ly contagious and dangerous. From hare it
was conveyed to Mr. Henry Snare's family,
and the case of Miss Mary Snare proved fatal ;
and, again, through the medium of several
mild cases of varioloid it was communicated
to Mr. Andrew Wilcox. at Mr. George Conrsd's.
This case was a fearful one and proved laid.
The odor from it was so great that it could
readily be detected on the street. One old
small-pox nurse remarked that "one snuff of
that stench is enough to satisfy me." He had
encountered that dread smell scores of times
before, and no Doctor could fool him.
About the time that Mr. Barrass' little son
went down, and during the continuance of the
afflictiot,his grandfather,James Barrass, living
in Mt. Union, visited the family. On his re
turn home, after ten or twelve days, the usual
period of maturation, be had an attack of
varioloid, and in due course of time his eon
went down with small-pox. Here is the
diagnosis given by Dr. A. R. lafcCarthy,ayoung
man of sound judgment and discriminating
mind. It was not intended for publication,
and we are indebted to a friend for it : "Con
fluent around the month. Pus at first thin and
ichorous ; becomes thicker and yellower each
day. Face nor: covered with dark scabs and
thick pus ntiderneat. Some desquamation
about the mouth. Have seen plenty ofuMbil
waled vesicles. Face and bead a day or two
ahead of body."
We might thus go on and trace every case
that has occurred, but if any were child, after
reading this history, can doubt the existeuce
or small-pox, or some disease equally loath
sum and dangerous in our midst then he must
be a born idiot.
All this time the physicians in attendance,
with a single exception, were insisting upon
the disease being chicken pox. Ask them
when you would it was only chicken-pox_—
"Chickeu-pox 1" "Chickea-pox I" "Chicken
pox 1" greeted you on every hand. They stuck
to this contrary to almost every authority in the
land,witio au obstinacy altogether unaecounta.
ble. Reason with them ; cite all the authorities
at hand,every one of which left them without a
peg to hang their hats upon, and they would
come back at you with the miserable old, stale
and delusive cry of "Chicken pox l" "Chicken
pox !" Give them great loads of facts ; great
files of evidence, and the same wretched, halt
and blind, stiff and vaunt spectre of‘•Chieken
pox was d.oigled before
you.
No steps were taken to stop the ravages of
the disease. People were left to visit the
afflicted, and in some instances the physicians
invited parties to see their cases. It is true
that they advise 1 people to he vaccinated ! For
what. curcEex-eox? Whoever heard of the
like ? The people put confidence in the opinion
of their physicians and no one feared chicken
pox. This accounts fur the general apathy.
The Chief Burgess paid no attention to the
appeAs of persons who were willing to listen
to those who claimed to know something about
the disease. Ile was deaf to anything but what
Ihe doctors said, and so it has been allowed
to an on until the town is pretty well infected
wit it it. Up to the time we write three pre-
dons lives bare been snerifieed to stupidity,
iu,differenee and negligence. How many more
are to be offered up? A single precaution,
and it would have stopped at Barrass' and
G 'an's. Mr. Barrass is not to blame. If
physicians failed to tell what the symptoms
were it is not to be supposed that Mr. Barrass
could distinguish them. If physicians, the
guardians of the health of the community, took
no measures to stop the spread of the disease,
pray who would ? If the physicians failed to
place an embargo on those houses in which
the disease made its appearance the inmates
were not to blame for circulating freely. We
cannot help but feel that the whole trouble
lies at the door of the physicians. If they bad
taken the usual precautions it would have
died out in a few weeks, and the town would
have been rid of it, and business would not
have been interferred with, but as it is, cold
weather may set in, and then there is no tell
ing where it will stop. _ _
Vaccination alone is a remedy. There is no
other. And this is only a partial remedy. It
only modifies the disease. But in its modified
state it seldom proves fatal. Occasionally a
case will die, but only occassionally. Then
let every man, woman and child be vaccinated.
Those cannot pay fo: vaccination the
borough authorities should] provide for at
once. This is a matter of life and death.—
Everyone must be made to obey the quarantine
regulations or be heavily fined. The whole

We have written this as tamely as the cir
cumstances will permit. Tilt:. physicians
are personal friends of ours, but our duty to
the puliiie, as a journalist, compels us to take
up the cause of the masses, and we do it fear
lessiy,lionestl believii•g that life is too precious
a thing to he trifled with.
At our request Dr. George D. Ballantyne
has prepared the following statement, citing
the leading authorities upon the subject :
IIIniTINGD3N, December 2Sth,lS77.
LIR. EDITOR :—When I gave my opinion in the
first fat& case of the discage which has recently
invaded our community, I was astbunled to find
ri t e whole modieal fraternity arrayed against it.
Con v 4iced of the correctness of that opinion, I now
submit the question to an impartial publ:c.
The following table, based on the heal authori
ties and on personal observations of the diseases
in New York and Pittsburg, although necessarily
brief, will e:labie any one who is familiar with the
recent eases to decide for himself:
SMALL-PDX,
Initial Syneptains.—Chills, with thtNhes of heat.
Fever generWly accompanied with perspiration, head
paia U.« 1...:k and limb., vomiting and general
debility. Mild oraevere in proporthat to the gravity of
the dieem4e.
Eruption.—App , ato on 3.1 day after the rommeneetnent

In oinhieut entail-pox the vesicles are separate having
health) skin between them; in the continent, they run
together and the whole surface is frequently covered with
patches or grwtpc of there coalescent vesicles.
The ripening of the vesicles into pustules marks per
haps the m..rst important period of the disease. The fail
ure to become pu,tular in due time is significant of the
failure of the vital powers due either to the malignancy
Of the attack or the derangement of important organs.
Such case, are nearly always fatal.

"Varicella or chicken- pul c!airus no treat tn;:nt."
F!i nes Pre. tics.
"Varicella, or chicken=pox, is a trifling complaint,
Lis co con,iLutional symptoms of any import
ance " Tanners' ( Disease of children).
"The prognosis, (i. e., the opinion as to its re
sult,) is always favorable, it dues not endanger life,
nor seriously incommode the patient nor does it
give rise to complications nor sequels. The treat
ment, therefore, is the simplai possible." Smith
-(Diseases of children)..
"The prognosis iu varicella is always favora
ble." Meige & Pepper, (Diseases of children).
"Varicella, or chicken-pox, is a trifling com
plaint almost entirely limited to infants and young
children, which completely runs ii• course in .6 or
8 days." Tanner's Practice.
I believe, therefore, that the late fatal cases
wire confluent small-pox, and the majority of the
others varioloid. If lam wrong then our whole
medical literature on the subject must be revised;
the human constitution must have undergone a
mysterious metamorphosis or diseases assumed
entinly new features. Perhaps it is a new dis
ease. If so, let its discoverer be crowned with
laurel and his name be enrolled side by side with
those of Harvey and Jenner. I respectfully sug•
gest as a name for it, •'lllorbus Huntingdonicnsis"
or "Huntingdon pox," since it seems to be entire
ly limited to this locality. I do not deny that
there are measles and chicken-pox in town. If so,
their diagnosis ought to be easy and certain. Now,
what is to be done to stamp it ou: ?
I reccominend the following:
Ist. Compel et-ery man, woman and child tube
vaccinated, whether done before or not, try it
again.
2d. Place every infected residence under rigid
quarantine.
33. Burn the bed-clothes and clothing of the
patient.
These measures will soon banish the disease, re
sten+ public tranquility, improve busiaess awl
SAVO valua hie lives.

time approached for taking his leave of it. Ile
had been subjected to harder and mare wearing
labor during that time than ever before. It was a
mistakes, idea that the (Ake was a sinecure. There
were duties and labors connected with it that are
v"'y hard and wearing. While in some respects
he felt glad to know that he was about to take
leave of the office, he could not but feel sorry in
severing the pleasant relations that had existed
I'etween himself and those who were special' , in
terestei in the cause of education in the county.
lie bad not expected, when he entered on the dis
charge of his duties, to rendergeneral satisfaction ;
but had :uocetaieu beyo:A his exce,tations.
In the matter of Leachers' examinations he had
riot been able to please all, out had labored to el
evate the standard of qualifications, as rapidly as
it could be done. The old teachers are aware that
it, is higher than it was twelve or fifteen years ago,
e.id. is the face of low incl ungraded salaries, and
th, material oat or whhh he had to work, it was
not as high as it ihonlisl be; persons were licensed
to t,r t eh wh, would net have been, if sufficient
tr.i4es had been Se , .!ur, teachers with first
e,a,a certilleitcs At $2O to s2.i per month we can
not scestre first class talent. as more lucrative em—
pl •y can be obtained by such persons in oth
er departments of life, and in other counties; but
our teachers would agree in sa.;.ing that wherever
they wore capable of passing good examinations
they 5a.1 reeeire . good certificates, and the certifi
eves itiven in this county would pass for their par
value in any county in the State, and he had tried
to encourage every effort on the part of teachers to
improve tbomcelves. by rewarding them with im
proved certificates, al - hough he bud perhaps done
injustice to some in their first examinations, be
wining sufficiently axqualoted with them to know
whit their real qualitications were.
reiation3 i - vith the school directors of the
,thry had hen sati , factory and pleasant, al
thoulh tlicy hot not always 'reef' proper to adopt the
line of recommended by him.; yet they had
Kira n him their co-operation and support, and be
wemid take this opportunity of returning to them
his thanks for the same.
In the matter of cwiductinz county Institutes
he had not given entire satisfaction on all °costs
thre being two elements to please; one de
siring less foreign help and more employment of
home talent, and the other holding the reverse
opinion. He believed that the two extremes were
r,orh wrong and had endeavored to strike the gold
on mean between them, by employing the best of
instructors from abroad, men who had given their
lives to the business, and at the same time giving
to our own teachers ample opportunity to ask
questions and enter into the general discussions,
and believed that he had been very fortunate in
the matter of securing instructors, the best evi
dence of which was apparent in the fact that the
instructions had been carried into practice in the
schools with the most beneficial results.
And now, in conclusion, he said, whoever
may be called on to serve you in the same capacity
hereafter, 1 bespeak for him that hearty support
and co-epe•atien of the teachers which you have
given to me. I may any here that without this
hearty co-operation and support, the officer will be
a failure. If I have succeeded in any particular
of the work in this county, it has been largely ow
ing to the generous spirit and cordial support giv
en me by the teachers. Had you witheld this, I
sneuld in all proMittility have failed, and 1 take
till. , opportunity of thanking you for the support
you h 4ve given me since I tried to serve you as.
County Superintendent. And now, I trust you
will go away from this Institute with the determi
nation to make use of all the instructions received
here and from all other sources, and to do your
work well; feel ng the responsibility that rests
upon you in the discharge of your duty. The
teacher who does not feel the responsibility that
rests upon him is not worthy of the position he
bolds. Remember that you are training the pu
pils under your care, not only fur this life, but
that the impressions you make upon them will last
through eternity, and your work will confront you
ot the bar of God, when called on to render an ac
count for the way you have employed your talent
in the instruction of your pupils and the manner
in which you have discharged your duty. I trust
you will feel this responsibility and try to act in
accordance with your convictions. I wish you all
success in this and every other department of la
bor in which you may engage hereafter, and if I
can, by word or deed, do anything to assist you in
the discharge of your duties I shall be most happy
to do so. I trust you will be able to perform your
work faithfully and efficiently,and Misfit receive the
plaudit which awaits the faithful teacher.

At the conclusion of these remarks, the follow
ing resolutions. was offered by W. H. Sheeder, and
unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That the thanks and good wishes of
the teachers of Huntingdon county are due, and
are freely given to our worthy Superintendent, R.
M. McNeal. for the efficient discharge of his offi•
ci..l duties and his universal kindness to all.
Shumaker made ft few practical and well
tinted remarks by wav of following up the subject,
ur4iug upon the teachers to empioy all the instrue
!imi received to the twct advantage, always bear
to mind she circumstances under which they are
uast:_f s h oo to set. Ts.y to know how to teach ev

your pupils. In the school room the teacher la
rit li.tv-g,iver, the jury, the lawyer, the judge and
the eximutiuter. lie is called on to discharge all
thi:Rs, functions, and it requires a combination of
%Omit :•u:h as is rcquired by no other profession
on s.mtli. The to .char should aim, as far as peg

the constitution, the disgusting smell from the breath,
