In a few years all the old landmarks will have
departed.
On Thursday night of last week the passenger
depot at Hollidaysburg was damaged, by fire,
to the amount of $2OO. It caught from the
furnace
Each -employe of the Altoona Tribune was
presented with a Christmas turkey, or its
equivalent in ducats, by the liberal-hearted
proprietors.
A religions revival was commenced in the
West Huntingdon M. E. Church, last week ,
and up to this time it lies met with more than
usual success.
When George A. Port, esq., is done with the
contemplated improvements to his Fifth street
property everything about the premises will
be as "handy as snuff in a rag."
The Texas Tribune says, "The late 'atmos
pherical freshness' has brought on many cases
of Coughs and Colds, and Dr. Bull's Cough

The last JOURNAL brought things to a focus
speedily. Newspapers must have backbone or
they don't amount to "shucks." Get out with
your dish water !
A fatal case of "chicken-Fox" occurred on
Tuesday morning last, the victim being a Mr.
Brunette, who resided on the corner of Sixth
and Church streets.
Oor fellow townsman, Milton S. Lytle, esq.,

Alliance commenced on the Gth inst. and will
continue anti( the 13th. We published a
programme of exercises a week or two ago.
Another panic inaugurated last week.—
Huntingdon usually starts these blights about
the holidays. This time there were not quite
as many exemption notes to be entered up.
We are pleased to sec that our friend.J. K.
P. Lightcap, esq., still holds his place on the
Everett Press. Jim is a clever fellow, and
one of the best printers this side of sun down.
If you want to know what advertising will
do, let some one insert a notice in a paper ,
stating a village has the small-pox, and the
inhabitants will soon learn the effect to their
cost.
William Hallman, esq., of Saulsburg, took
charge of the "Farmers' Hotel," corner of
Fourth and Penn streets, on the Ist inst.,
where he will be happy to entertain his many
friends.
The usual amount of interesting reading
matter generally found on the first and fourth
pages of the JOURNAL, is this week crowded
out to give place to Governor Ilartranft's able
message.
S. S. Blair, esq., Superintendent of the
Tyrone Division of the P. R. R., has had a

A case of small-pox is reported in our neigh
boring borough of Patterson. A fireman on
the railroad named Cargill is said to be the
victim, and he says be contracted the disease
at Huntingdon.—Mifilintown Tribune.
We urge people to remain from all congre
gational meetings until the loathsome disease,
now in our midst, is banished. One person
afflicted with it, in a close room, can pollute a
dozen persons. This could be done innocently.
Col. Jno. R. Hunter, who had been lying at
Petersburg, for some weeks past, suffering
from a severe attack of paralysis, was brought
to this place, one day last week, and taken to
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. M. B.
Massey.
Dennis O'Rafferty, esq., has gotten out of his
legal imbroglio. The other chaps were anxious
and Dennis couldn't find it in his"Orish" heart
to punish them. Good, ould Dennis Bless
ye, mon, may ye live to grow as "ould" as the
grey peaks above your whin “dare."
We don't need any salve to heal the wounds
inflicted by our last issue, the advice of the
News to the contrary notwithstanding. If
truths make wounds the sore spots will be all
the better for being permitted to fester and
cast off any impurities that may exist.
Wrap yourself up in a buffalo robe, place
your feet in a tub of cold water, and have some
little shaver rattle a string of sleigh bells, and
then imagine you are sleighing. It will be
fully up to the genuine article if you can get
some lovely creature to sit by your side.
An effort is on foot to compromise the suit
pending against one of onr citizens for keening
a bagnio in the West End. The matter
is with the District Attorney, and as he is very
particular about things taking their "regular
coorse," we suppose the case will come to trial.
The New Disciple, published by Brumbaugh
Bros. and Quinter, of this place, found its way
to our table the other day, and we were de
lighted with it. It is an excellent juvenile
publication. Miss Wealthy A. Clark conducts
it, and she does it well. It deserves encourage
ment.
The New Orleans `Minstrel Troupe made a
fine appearance in its street parade, and al
though it is one of the best organizations of
the kind on the road, owing to the stringency
of the money market it failed to draw more
than half a house, in this place, on Thursday
night of last week.
There have been several failures in Ilun
tingdon. Now don't act the fool. Don't rush
ou every man who happens to owe a hundred
or two of dollars, with tea times that amount
of assets, and crush him out. These times
real estate is a burden, and money is not to
be had. Remember this.
Cargill, the fireman, who was a companion
of Andrew Wilcox, and who visited the latte r
in his last illness, died, at Patterson, Juniata
county, on Sunday last, at 9 o'clock A. M., of
small-pox, contracted from his Friend, and was
buried at 4 o'clock P. M., of the same day.—
This makes the fourth fatal case. The ques
tion is, How many more ?
Sheriff Henderson, after one of the most ar•
dims terms that has ever fell to the lot of
any Sheriff, retired to private life on the first
instant. He made an excellent officer. Ile
was prompt and reliable, and no creditor has
ever had occasion to complain of him. He
filled the bill faithfully and retires with the
good wishes of all those who appreciate the
services of a good and capable officer.
The Car Works. in this place, remind us
very much of Col. Ilassan's remark to Phil.
Collins, who had taken him to see the hole be
was sinking, on the Allegheny, for the purpose
of ascertaining whether oil could be found in
that locality. "Well, Phil," said Hasson, "one
thing you may be sure of any how, you will
never have any trouble finding the hole you
put your money in." They were a bad hole
—a perfect sink hole.
The JOURNAL in its last issue displayed a
fanatical zeal.—Local News. If warning the
people against a loathsome and contagious
disease is playing the fanatic, we plead guilty.
Whether the disease be small-pox, chicken
pox, "hog-pox," etc., we don't care, but know
ing that it is infectious, contagious, and that
several deaths have resulted from it, we deem
it our duty, as public journalists, to admonish
the people to use every precaution to prevent
its spreading.
A young man named John W. Westbrook, a
resident of Sonman,Cambria county, has been
arrested and committed to prison to answe
the charge of forgery. If John wanted to in
dulge in that kind of crookedness be should
have come to Huntingdon, where there seems
to be no law against it, judging by the im
munity from arrest in the case of one of her
citizens who has committed some three or
four forgies within the past year. Huntingdon
is the Mecca for forgers.
Vicks Illustrated Monthly Magazine, for
January, has reached us, and we are free to
acknowledge that it is the handsomest publi
cation of the kind in the country. Its typo
graphy is faultless, while its contents cannot
fail to be interesting and instructive to every
person who loves the cultivation of flowers,
Mr. Vick has been engaged in the seed business
for a long series of years, and is fully com
petent to successfully conduct such a maga

that every person can subscribe for it. Send
your orders to James Vick, It)ehes ter, N. V.

Messrs. Harper and Staire were sworn in by
G. W. Cornelius esq. Mr. Griffith was elected
chairman. They then spent some time in
looking through the house, and in consultation
about the affairs connected with it, the farm,
and out-door relief. They have an eye to
business, and a reform in some things is an
ticipated. So mote it be.
Mr. Jackson Harmon has moved his family
to the Alms House, and took charge of that
Institution as Steward on the first of January.
Mr. Logan leaves with the well wishes of every
person here. He has been amongst us for over
ten years, and we regret to part with him.—
None will miss him more than our Methodist
friends, as he has been an active and faithful
steward in that church all the time of his so
journ amongst us—always taking a great in
terest in the welfare of the church, both
spiritually and financially.

its mean temperature being only 23.
SQUELCHING TRAMPS. —The Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company is determined to put
a stop to professional tramping, at least so far
as the thoroughfare of that corporation is
concerned, as they believe that if the free
transportation of tramps by railroad could be
prevented, one-half the evil would thus be
abated. The Board of Directors recently in
structed their General Manager to take effective
measures for the suppression of the evil along
twenty miles of their road as an experiment,
and, following out these instructions, four
prison cars have been placed at different points
on the road, on the sidings. The Executive
Committee recommend that the local associa
tions give such aid as may be in their power
to the officers of the Railroad Company, and
urge them to see that proper and efficient
officers, especially justices of the peace and
constables, residing at accessible points, be
elected at the spring elections for the several
districts.—Johnstown Tribune.

Council, on Friday night last, the following

In this great city all alone,
There are no ties to bind me,
My thoughts are in my native home
With the lad I left behind me.
Amid the filth of oil and mud,

If I had wings then fly I would,
To the lad I left behind me.
This motley crowd is all for gain,
There's none who speaks so kindly,
And none who looks so neat and clean,

Those monster derricks close in view,
To powder they might g-ind me;
Alas, then I would bid adieu,
To tne lad I left behind me.
Had I the riches of a king, •

LITERARY NOTES.—
''From Mr. James A. Moore, 1222 and 1224 San
som Street, who has lately much extended his
business as a publisher, we have two new works of
fiction. "Gold and Guilt" is a thoroughly Amer
ican story, opening near the base of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. As the title implies, the extreme of
wrongdoing is represented here, not to be lightly
regarded, as the world regards guilt when it brings
in gold, but to have punishment meted out to it,
even upon earth, before the passing away of the
offenders into the hereafter. The aim of this story
is excellent, and its execution shows considerable
skill, not merely in the construction of the plot,
but in character-sketching. The moral of the
tale may be said to point itself." For sale at
JOURNAL Store.
"'Tender and True,' also published by Mr.
Moore, is from the pen of Miss Ilarriett B. McKee
ver, who has written a great many stories which
have pleased and instructed adults as well as
young people. Indeed, the best test of what is
called 'a juvenile book,' is its interesting grown
persons as well as children. Miss McKeever's va
rious tales have found appreciative favor in fam
ilies, and 'Tends!. and True,' her latest, is very
readable, with a variety of probable incident. For
sale at JOURNAL Store.
PIIRENOLOGY.—The public are being educated
to a better knowledge of Phrenology by the efforts
that are constantly being made by the publishers
of the Phrenological Journal, that staunch old
monthly which has been published now in New
York for forty years, and during all this time has
lost none of its vigor, and has attained a much
wider circulation than its technical name wonld
indicate. The publishers announce now a great
reduction in price—from three dollars to two dol
lars a year—and in connection with this a Phren
ological Best as premium to each subscriber. This
Bust is a model symbolical head, made nearly life

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE LIVING AGE.—The
new year of Lineli's Living Age opens with the
number for the week ending January sth.
Owing to the recent establishment of important
periodicals abroad—notably The Nineteenth Cen
tury in England,—and to the simultaneous im
provement of others, a fresh impetus has been
given to foreign periodical literature; the ablest
living thinkers and writers being enlisted in its
service to an extent heretofore probably unequalled.
The Living Aye presents with satisfactory com
pleteness what is most valuable in this literature.
The publishers already announce for early num
bers of the new year, articles by Louis Kossuth,
ex-Governor of Hungary (on the Turkish Ques
tion), Prof. Max Miller, Prof. bloldwin Smith, the
Duke of Argyll, Itt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone ion
Courses of Religious Thought), Richard A. Proctor,
Prof. Owen and others (Studies in Science), Fran
ces Power Cobbe, Alfred Russell Wallace, Prof. J.
D. Blackie, Edward A. Freeman, Matthew Arnold,
J. Leslie Stephen, John Ruskin, and other emi
nent writers.
In the department of fiction the best foreign
authors will be represented in serial and short
stories. The publication of a new story by William
Black is to be begun in .January, from advance
sheets, and other attractions will follow. The vol
umes of this standard weekly magazine for the new
year therefore promise to surpass even the previ
ous ones in interest, and in importance to Ameri
can readers.
The beginning of a new volume is a favorable
time for new subscriptions, and the publishers still
present to new subscribers for 1878 the last seven
numbers of iS77, which contain the first instal
ments of a fine new Merman serial translated for
The Living Age ; also a serial story by Miss Thack
eray, and the usual large amount of other valua
ble matter. For tifty,two numbers of sixty-four
large pages each (or more than three thousand
pages a year) the subscription price ($8) is low;
while for $10.50 the publishers offer to send any
one of the American $4 monthlies or weeklies with
The Living Age for a year. both postpaid. Lir-
TELL .k GAY, Boston are the publishers.
The distinguished Meteorologist and Weather
Prophet, Professor Tice of St. Louis, has issued
his Annual National Weather Almanac for 1878,
in which he furtells the weather ofevery day in the
year, explains the theory clearly on which his
predictions are based, gives directions by which
the un eientilie can forteil the weather, and other
valuable matter. The whole constitutes a work of
great practical value to everyone, and fO almost
indispensable to fartrers. For sample copy and
terms of sale send 20 cents to.
THOMPSON, TICE A; CO., St. Louis, Mo
The new novel, "Cherry Ripe," just issued as
No. 14 of The Tribune's cheap popular series, is
from the pen of Helen B. Mathers,.whose charming
story "Cumin' Thro' the Rye," won such a quick
success. The new venture is certainly not less
fortunate. It is a tale of English life and love,
full of delicate description and fascinating interest,
and we have little doubt that it will he one of the
favorite numbers in The Tribune's marvellously
cheap library of the best fiction. It can be had of
almost any news agent, or by addressinz The Tri
bune, New York, with 10 cents inclosed in the
letter.
With the January number, the Ecleette Maga
zine enters upon a new volume and a new year
(the 31th). This is a favorable titneto subscribe ?
The magazine will be very strong in 1378, and the
January number is rich in valuable articles, in
cluding "Science and Man," Tyndall's famous
Birmingham lecture; Archibald Forbes' article on
"Russians, Turks, and Bulgarians at the Theatre
of War" (the best contribution yet made to the
literature of the Russo-Turkish war) ; "The Mur
der of Thomas Becket," by J. A. Froude "The
Science of Electricity as Applied in Peace and
War ;" a "Study of Thoreau," by Tom Hughes;
and a sketch of the Rev Jeseph Cook, with a steel
engraved portrait. For sale at the JOURNAL Store.

AMONG TIIF DEAD FAILURES
Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may be
numbered! Beginning their careers with a tre
mendous flourish of trumpets, blazoned for a time
in the public prints and on flaming posters, soon,
but not too soon, were they relegated to the limbo
of things lost on earth. But Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is a living and thriving remedy. It goes
on, curing and to cure. Neither underhand nor
open competition affect it. On the contrary, con
trast its popularity. It has been repeatedly imi
tated, but without success. Counterfeits of it
have been surreptitiously introduced, but have
fallen flat. Everywhere it entrenches itself in the
confidence of the people ; and well it may, for it is
a thoroughly reliable invigorant of the feeble,
banishes dyspepsia and constipation, braces the
nerves, cures rheumatic ailments and kidney com
plaints and eradicates and prevents interrmittent
and remittent fevers. [Jan4-1 m.

POUND FOOLISH
In 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 disadvantage., 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 for me I wish
you would do something for me. About eight monthsago
I got into trouble. I took capsules, went to doctors, and
it has cost me one hundred dollars—first for this medi
cine, then for that—without any benefit. A few days ago
a friend told me of the Samaritan's Gift; he said it would
certainly cure me. This is why I address you for advice.
Let the above be a warning to others. When you get
in trouble procure at once the Samaritan's Gift, and you
will be all right in two or three days, for remember the
bad effects that follow the use of those injurious drugs are
often worse than the original trouble. Price—Male pack
