Circulation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley.
THE second; number of the Altoona
Morning Tribune, reached us on Tuesday
morning, as bright and sparkling as a gold
dollar fresh from the hands of the coiner,
with its news columns filled to the brim
with interesting matter, and its local de
partment overflowing with happenings
from every section of the county. We had
not the pleasure of reading the first num
ber as some nerapaper thief gobbled it up
before it reached our sanctum. The price
of the Tribune is two cents per copy; 40
cents per month; or $4.80 per annum, and
if it don't succeed it will not be for lack of
effort on the part of the proprietors to
make it a first class paper. It deserves a
liberal support from the citizens of the
Mountain City.
THE editor of the Globe recently at
tempted to make some capital out of the
fact that the publishers of the JOURNAL
and the Monitor charged more for publish
ing some county advertising than was
charged by the Globe. Last week the
publishers of these three papers presented
bills for other county printing, and it so
happened that the charges of the Globe
were more than those of either the JOUR
NAL or the Monitor. The Commissioners
are willing to pay according to the con
tract with the publishers of said papers,
but not wishing to pay any more than that
they cut down the bill presented by the
Globe and made it the same in amount as
had been charged by the JOURNAL and
the Monitor fur the same advertising. We
would not have referred to this matter if
it bad not been for the fact that the Globe
has been endeavoring to parade before the
public the idea that its charges for county
printing are less than either of the other
two papers.
WHO IS TO BLAME ?
Ten years ago, and the wildest fancy
that ever originated in the most chimerical
brain would have failed to conjure up a
picture like that which is presented by the
present state of political affairs. The Re.
publican party, with its time-honored
principles, and its glorious record was then
the party of the country. Traitors were
forced to take a back seat or to accept the
situation, and loyal and true men presided
over the councils of the nation. To day
all is changed. The party in power is now
the party that once sought to destroy the
government, and our National Legislature
is filled with ex-rebels, traitors, and mut..
derers. Systematic raids are daily planned
upon the public treasury ; traitors become
more insolent and defiant, and the Re
publicans of the country shrink back ap
palled at the spectacle presented. Now,
who is to blame ? Isaac Wolverton re
lates an instance of history repeating itself
in his own ease, when, after having been
for half a lifetime going about doing good
in the Republican party, and when asking
a small favor at the hands of the party he
found himself crucified, as he says, between
two thieves. Isaac is not the only man
who has realized such treatment at the
hands of the party, such instances on the
contrary are by no means rare. Men who
have served the party to the best of their
abilities, when it most needed their ser
vices, have been ruthlessly thrust aside,
and their claims ignored, to make room
for some insolent upstart who is scarcely
warm in the party, and whose only recom
mendations are impudence, self-esteem and
rascality. Those, who have assumed the
leadership of the party have, regardless of
all wzrnings, pursued this course till they
have succeeded in bringing the party and
the country to the present condition, and
the probabilities are that at no distant day
they will succeed in accomplishing its final
overthrow. Such a course, if persistently
followed, will be the death of any party,
and who will be to blame ?
THE Bucks County Litelligencer con
tains the following comments on the
proposed amendment to the Constitution,
which we fully endorse :
A proposition has been brought forward
at Harrisburg looking toward such an
amendment of the Constitution as will
reduce the number of members of the Leg
islature to the old standard. Under the
Constitution of 1838 there were 38 Sena.
tors and 100 Representatives; and at
present the Senate contains 50 and the
House 201 members. The experience of
a few years shows that business in the
House, at least, is very much retarded by
the number of members, a large propor
tion of whom are anxious to say something
upon every measure that comes up. It is
also alleged that the qualifications of the
members under the new system are not as
high as they were formerly, but it is
hardly possible that this is true to any
great extent. The object of increasing
the number of House members was to
admit of every county being represented,
and to bring the Assembly into more inti
mate relations with the body of the people;
and there can be little doubt that it has
succeeded well in this respect. It was
thought that a large body of representatives
would be less easily influenced or manipu
lated for selfish purposes than a smaller
one, and this also proves to be in a good
degree well founded. The unwieldiness
of the House is a fair objection, but it is
not to be compared with that of the national
House of Representatives, which under
better government and a more strict en_
forcement of its rules is enabled to prose.
cute its work with reasonable dispatch.
In the State Senate, we believe, there is
co complaint of disadvantage from the
increase of its membership to fifty. The
character of that body for ability and
efficiency is well sustained, and no one
apprehends that it is likely to suffer per
ceptibly in the future. Our impression is
that the Legislature itself will hesitate to
pass the proposed amendment for a reduc
tion of its numbers, while local and per
sonal reasons will operate very strongly
against it among the people if it ever comes
before them for approval,
THE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
The Pennsylvania State Editorial As
sociation met in the Senate committee
rooms at Harrisburg, January 24th, and
selected the following officers to serve for
the ensuing year : President, Daniel H
Neiman, of the Easton Sentinel; vice
presidents, J. B. Sansom, of the Indiana
Democrat; C. H. Bergner, of the Harris
burg Telegraph, and Hon, A. K. Dunkel,
of the Sunday Republic, Philadelphia;
recording secretary and treasurer, R. S
Menamin, of the Printers' Circular, Phil
adelphia; assistant recording secretary, M.
A Cooper, 3101113 t Pleasant; corresponding
secretary, Dennis F. Dealey, of the Chron
icle-Herald, Philadelphia ; executive com
mittee, 11. J. Stable, of the Gettysburg
Compiler; A. M. Rambo, of the Columbia
Courant; Dr. W. H. Bradley of the Record
of the Times, Wilkesbarre ; H. T. Darling.
ton, of the Bucks County lntelligencer,
Doylestown. Mr. Menamin, of Philadel
phia, read the bill introduced in the United
States Senate by Mr. Ferry, providing for
the classification of mail matter and regu
lation of postage thereon, and introduced
a series of resolutions which were unani
mously adopted. Among them was one
urging upon air members of Congress to
oppose the passage of any law which, under
the guise of providing machinery for de.
terming what journals shall enjoy, and
what shall de deprived of privileged rates,
will subject the heretofore untrammeled
Press of the United States to an official
supervision which is the first step to a cen
sorship.
Mr. Sansom, of Indiana, moved that the
association approve the libel bill introduced
in the House of Representatives by Mr.
Long, of Allegheny, a few days ago, and
recommend the passage of the same.
Hon. J. A. Magee, of Perry, moved
that a committee of three be appointed for
the purpose of memoralizing the Legisla
ture to pass the bill and to use all honor
able means to secure its enactment into a
law. The motion was adopted and the
Chair appointed as such committee Charles
H Bergner, of the Harrisburg Telegraph;
B. F. Meyers, of the Harrisburg Patriot ;
and the Hon. Y. S. Walter, of the Dela
ware County Republican. After a vote of
thanks to the retiring officers and receiving
suggestions relative to the objective point
of next summer's excursion, the conven
tion adjourned.

Harrisburg Correspondence.
Legislation has progressed rapidly within
the last two weeks and already about 500 bills
have been introduced in the House and quite
a large number of these have been acted upon
by committee. The Border raid bill was taken
from the committee baring it in charge and it
is now upon the calendar. The case of the
Hon. 0. F. Ballard, member from Delaware
county, seems to give the House a great deal
of trouble and has excited much discussion
there several times during the past week. The
Hon. 0. F. 8., as you are doubtless aware,
was held in the jail of Media, Delaware county,
under a charge of embezzling the funds of a
building association, of which he was Treas
urer, when the legislature met. He claimed to
be privileged from arrest and to have the right
to take his seat in the House. He asked to be
allowed to come before the Judiciary commit
tee of the House and argue his case, which the
House granted, and now it don't know what to
do with the elephant that it has upon its hands.
The Judiciary committee have no further use
for him, but for some reason do not seem to
be in a hurry to report upon his case, so be
remains in the nominal custody of the Sergeant
at Arms, occupies his old seat and looks as big
as the rest of the members.
The leading topic here now and the one ex
citing the most interest is the Oil Pipe Bill.
The oil business has became the most import
ant of any in the State, the annual receipts
therefrom being over $30,000,000 and exceed
ing in value the entire anthracite coal pro
duction by $8,000,000. For many years there
were numerous individual shippers and refi
ners, thus affording producing of petroleum a
free and open market. But a dire change has
been wrought in this respect. The Standard
Oil Company, originally a Cleveland Reaming
Company, have by means of rebates and draw
backs granted them by railroads, been enabled
to crush out all the individual refiners and
shippers, leaving the whole of this vast busi
ness virtually in their own hands, and now they
can give producers just what prices they chose,
as there are no other buyers in the market.
The producers have from time to time appeal
ed to the various railroads for equal shipping
rates with the Standard, but in vain, and now
as a last resort they come to the Legislature
and ask for a free pipe bill, so they can get
their oil to a market. Oil now brings at the
wells about $1.30 fur a barrel of 42 gallons.
This the producers claim is a starvation price.
There are 50,000 people who have to get their
living directly from the business of producing
oil and they are ail at the mercy of this heart
less corporation. It controls the Banks and
owns a large share of the Hardware stores in
the oil regions, and by these means has its
hands upon the throats of nearly all the debtor
class, and one by one the producers are being
crushed out just as the refiners were. It is only
a question of a little time when the Standard
will gobble up the whole thing, body and
breeches.
it seems that the main opposition to the bill
comes from the railroads, prompted of course
by the Standard, on the grounds that they have
invested large sums of money in cars and ma
chinery for carrying the oil and now they want
to realize on their investment, which they
could not do if the cil is carried by pipes. But
they have persistently refused to give the pro
ducers or individual shippers an equal chance
to compete for the trade, and now the produ
cers are compelled to their present course, not
because they wish to injure the railroads, but
because the railroads relirse them justice.
When will the people of this Commonwealth
teach these grasping corporations that they
are creatures and servants of the public and
not their masters.
In the House on Friday last, Mr. Long's res
olution to appoint a committee to investigate
the causes and results of the railroad riots
was adopted without opposition. It was
amended so as to provide that the expenses of
the committee shall not be over $2,000, and
that no member from a county sustaining loss
by the riots shall be appointed upon the com
mittee.
In a debate in the Senate yesterday upon
the bill to make appropriation for paying the
officers and men of the State Militia, called
out to suppress the railroad riots, the officers
of our National Guard were very roughly han
dled by Senators Herr and Yerkes. They were
charged with cowardice and want of executive
ability. This gave rise to a resolution in the
House to have these charges investigated and
the matter was referred to a committee to be
appointed under Mr. Long's resolution. This
is a delicate subject to touch upon and the
washing of so much dirty linen promises to be
interesting and exciting. B.
Letter from Delaware.
IBINISTAN, KENT CO., DEL. Jan. 29th, 1878,
J. It. DURBOBBOW—Dear Sir :—By request
I will write a few lines to you. In the first
place it maybe interesting to some of your rea
ders to hear something from the Peninsula. We
have had very fine weather for some time, but
to-day it is somewhat inclement. The first snow
of the season fell this morning at 5 o'clock. It
was about 3 inches at 10 m. It is almost
gone. We have had quite a stre4m of north
ern immigration to the Peninsula and parties
wishing to settle had better not defer too long.
Land has advanced 25 per cent., at least, since
HARRISBURG, January 30, 1878,
I came here. I have refused over 100 per cent
for mine.
In the next place I might give some of the
results of farming that have come to my no
tice. Three years ago one of my neighbors
bought a farm for fifteen dollars per acre; he
now bolds it at forty dollars and he says he
will realize 15 per cer.t. on the present value.
Another, on a farm of eighty acres raised over
400 bushels of wheat and cleared two thous
and dollars on his fruit, beside a good crop of
corn and hay. Another, on a farm of ninety
acres, cleared one thousand dollars clear of all
expenses and sold his farm for eight thousand
dollars cash. Some men, with limited means,
could do well here, but if you see any drones
or men that cannot live within their income
advise them not to come here for we are over
stocked with that class already. Our good
nature , ' teacher, and farmer friend, A. 11.
Kauffman, formerly of Juniata township, is
spending .be winter evenings with us, and he
is teaching our school. He has purchased a
very pleasant borne some four miles from us.
Our old friend, C. Varnish, formerly of Porter
township, has purchased an addition to his
handsome homestead. For the present I shall
Yours, kc.,
close,
Senator Fisher's Fisher's Letter.
To the Editor of The Times
In your issue of 15th instant you approve of
the project to create a new penitentiary district,
yet criticise my bill for establishing the same,
because as you allege, but fifteen counties of the
State are embraced within its limits, thereby con
fining its "jurisdiction to only about 400,000 of
the people of the State." Doubtless your criticism
would be entirely just were the facts fairly stated.
but I have added other counties, and others are
about to be embraced within the limits of the dis
trict, sufficient to fill with their present prison
population the new penitentiary to be constructed
under this bill. Predicating your argument on
the basis of population you arrive at conclusions
which differ widely from existing facts. In the
first paragraph you say : "The Governor in his
late message called attention to the fact that the
Penitentiary at Allegheny now holds after a man
ner, twice as many convicts as its facilities justify,"
but, further on, you use this language: "If any
change is made in the division we have indicated
it ought to be to drop some of the western counties
and bring the line further east, where are the
populous counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Lancas
ter and Berke " Now, the counties embraced
within the limits of the Middle district will take
from the Eastern and Western Penitentiaries on
the completion of the new penitentiary, about
five hundred prisoners, in nearly equal proportions,
and still leave more prisoners than they can care
for, paying due regard to the physical health of
the incarcerated. But to show you how utterly
unreliable it is in this matter of State convicts to
draw conclusions on basis of population, I would
first call your attention to the prison statistics of
those "populace counties" you speak of. Take
the eleven "populace counties" lying east of the
eastern limit of the proposed Mid.ile district, to
wit: Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Schuylkill,
Bucks, Northampton, Berks, Lebanon, Lancaster,
York and Lehigh. These counties aggregate a
population of 836,083, and yet there were only
sixty-three prisoners committed to the Eastern
Penitentiary from all the above counties during
the year 1876, while Philadelphia alone, with a
population of 674,022, committed two hundred and
forty—eight to the Eastern Penitentiary, or four
times as many prisoners, with over one hunndred
and fifty thousand less population. But you may
say it was an exceptional year. Let us look back
a few years. In 1860 we find these same counties
committed during that year 68 prisoners to the
Eastern Penitentiary, Philadelphia 106. In 1870
these same counties committed 56 and Philadel
phia 127. These figures surely show the fallacy
of deducing conclusions from a basis of population.
There are two reasons why these "ponulous eastern
counties" contribute so slightly to the population
of the Eastern Penitentiary. First, they are
largely agricultural, and statistics show such
counties have a much smaller number of convicts
in proportion to population than either manufac
turing or mining counties. Lancaster, Berks,
Scuylkill, Lehigh, Northampton, Chester, Dela
ware sad Montgomery send few or none, because
they can maintain them in their fine prisons at
home, with more comfort to the convict and at
less cost to the respective counties. Philadelphia
is a large manufacturing city and in a .great
measure fills the Eastern Penitentiary. Out of
466 convicts received during the year 1876, Phila
delphia supplied 248, or more than one half of the
entire number. Now compare the eleven "popu
lous counties" of the eastern part of the State, as
enumerated above, with seven counties on the
western side of the middle district, to wit. Blair,
Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon
and Somerset, and we see that eleven counties,
with a population of 836,053, sent 63 prisoners to
the Eastern Penitentiary during 1876, while dur
ing the same time the above seven counties, aggre
gating 217,467 population, sent 79 convicts to the
Western Penitentiary, twenty per cent. more com
mitments from but very little more than one-fourth
the population. These seven counties should be
classified as mining counties. Again, take York
and Lebanon, properly classified as agricultural
counties, with a population of 110,230 ; they sent
24 prisoners to the Eastern Penitentiary, while
three mining counties of the middle district, Blair,
Cambria and Centre, with a population of 109,038:
sent 48 prisoners to the Western Penitentiary ;
with about the same population they furnish
double the number of prisoners. The district
sought to be created by this bill has that great
highway of travel and traffic, the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, running east and west almost
through its centre, with two lines of railroad
reaching to our Southern border, to wit: The
Cumberland Valley and Huntingdon and Broad
Top. Three lines of railroad running north, the
Tyrone and Clearfield, and Look Haven and Lew
istown and Sunbury, placing almost all the coun
ties of the district within one hundred miles of its
railroad centre, while every county detached from
both the Eastern and Western Districts mast now
send their prisoners from one hundred miles to
two hundred and fifty miles. The counties em
braced within the limits of the Middle District
will save money in transportation of the prisoners,
and the State can no longer postpone the erection
of this penitentiary, for the philanthropic gentle
men comprising the Boards of Trustees of both
the Eastern and Western Penitentiaries cannot be
expected to make the convicts •comfortable, to
keep them even in fair physical health while
these institutions are so alarmingly over-crowded.

LITERARY NOTES.-
The number of Littell's Living Age for the week
en ling January 19th, contains The Ninety Years'
Ag ny of France, by Prof. Goldwin Smith an
instalment of "Erica," translated from the German
of Frau von Ingersle , en; The Story of Maximilian
at Miramar and at Queretaro, a very interesting
sketch translated from the French of Victor Tissot ;
Modern Life and Insanity, from Macmillan; Mac

sheets ; The Celt of Wales and the Celt of Ireland,
Cornhill Smith's Poor Kin, Spectator; Valen
tine's Day, an unpublished poem by Charles Kings
ley, with other short articles and poetry. The
back numbers containing the fir , t instalments of
"Erica," and a story by Miss Thackeray, are still
s.nt to new subscribers for 1878.
For fifty-two numbers. of sixty-four large pages
each (or more than 3000 pages a year), the sub
scription price ($8) is low; or for $lO 50 any one
of the American $4 monthlies or weeklies is sent

Littell 1 Gay, Boston, are the publishers.
Peterson's Magazine for February is already on
our table, and more than maintains the popularity
of this unrivalled lady's book. We thought the
steel engravings, in the January number, could
nut be excelled, but the principal one for February,
"The Challenge," representing a mischievous girl
about to throw a snow-hail, is, by all odds, the
best that has appeared, anywhere, for years.
There are many who would give a year's subscrip
tion for this picture alone. The stories are even
better than usual, and this is saying the most that
can be said. "Her Creditor," by Frank Lee Ben
edict, is very powerful; so also is "The November
Night ;" both such stories as one rarely reads in
these days. There are about fifty wood engrav
ings of the latest styles in fashions, of patterns
fur the work table, et.o., etc., besides the usual
double-sized colored steel-plate of late Paris fash
ions. At its price, two dollars a year, this is
simply the cheapest of the really good magazines.

Advertising Agents.
Success of the Firm of Durborroic r£• Co.—Devel
oping of a Large and Profitable Business.
In August last Messrs Durborrow It Co., located
an Advertising Agency at 705 Sansoin street, this
city, where they have since been developing a
very safe and remunerative business. The firm
consists of J. R. Durborrow, the editor and one of
the publishers of the Huntingdon (Pa.) Journal,
who has spent a score of years in the newspaper
business, and consequently, is fully informed upon
all matters that go to make up the routine of the
printing office and the business transactions that
grow out of it, and R. W• Berks reeler, of Pitts
bur , h, who has been connected with several of the
leading life insurance companies of the country
for many years. The agency gives especial atten
tion to soliciting advertising for the rural press of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland, and, owing to the relation the Senior
member of the firm holds to the printing fraternity.
the success of the agency has the special solioitude
of a great majority of the newspaper men who are
patronized by Philadelphians, This enables them,
they claim, to give better terms for many leading
rural papers than any other agency operated here.
We have no hesitation in recommending this
agency to any who may desire to avail themselves
of printer's ink to bring their merchandise before
our public. It would pay our people handsomely
to patronize the press of the surrounding country
much more extensively than they do. It is said
that Pittsburgh, and all other Western cities sur
pass our merchants greatl7 in this respect. One
thing is certain that the men .who advertise do
the butiners.—Pkitadelphia City Item, Jan. 10th.
On the 24th of April, 1877, the Emperor of all
the Russias promulgated the manifesto com
manding his armies to invade the Turkish fron
tier. Sixty days from that time the passage
of the Danube began, and the contending ar
mies were shortly face to face. The evolutions
of the invaders were quick and intelligent,
the opposition was persistent and desperate.
It was plain from the beginning, however, that
if some mighty power did not come to its sup
port, the banner of the Crescent must go down
in the dust. The onward march and the ex
ceptional successes of the Russian armies form
a brief, brilliant, bloody romance. For a time,
those on this side of the ocean who sympathized
with the Turks hoped they might be able to
withstand the invasion, but such hope soon
faded. The Russians outnumbered the Turks,
they were better fed, clothed, armed, officered,
disciplined. The Russian treasury was full,
the Turkish treasury had not a pound. Rap
idly following each other, came the victories
of the Czar's armies, and to-day the Ottoman
power is in abject prostration at the feet of her
conqueror.
It is impossible at this time to discover the
exact terms of capitulation, but some results
are certain. A large portion of the territory
of Turkey in Europe and Asia will be ceded to
Russia ; Turkey will be required to pay a sum
which will cripple her resources for many
years ; the Dardanelles will be opened to all
the world. The latter feature of the settle
ment will scarcely be objectionable to Turkey.
It was not the Ottoman power which was most
deeply interested in obstructing, but the Brit
ish Government has cunningly led the world
to believe so. The free navigation of the
Black Sea would have been granted long ago
by Turkey, but her ostensible English ally
would never listen to such a proposition. It
is more than twenty years since the Black Sea
was forbidden ground to the world, and espe
cially to Russia. It is seventy years since the
British navy first forced the passage of the
Straits, and since that time she has used her
freedom carefully, not to excite the ire of oth
er nations. Russia has thrown open this im
portant field of commerce to the shipping of
the world, and for this she should be thanked,
however hypocritical her protestations in the
interests of Christianity. She has lost about
80,000 soldiers, and has spent $200,000,000 in
accomplishing this, beside those convulsions
of industry and commerce which always re
sult from war. The Turks have lost a greater
number of lives, her treasury is ten times
bankrupt, her industries are ruined, and with
out almost superhuman assistance she is irre
trievably a vassal of Russia.
The prospects for assistance are faint indeed.
The British Government has played the blus
tering coward all through the strife. From
being "mistress of the world" she has of late
years been cringing like a whipped spaniel,
having scarcely the necessary courage to pre
serve her own possessions. She has submitted
without protest to many advances and acces
sions on the part of foreign powers which were
adverse to her interests, as she has now sub
mitted to this latest stroke which has a fair
prospect of proving fatal to her eastern pos
sessions. She is, in fact, not in condition to
go to war with any power. She is burdened
with taxation consequent upon a national debt
of $4,000,000,000, on which there is an annual
interest of about $140,000,000. Her navy is
large but not in a thorough working condi—
tion, and her army is insignificant. It is not
within the probabilities that England will have
a word to say in the settlement of the rurco-
Russian question, and her humiliation, because
she dare not assume to dictate, is only second
to that of Turkey herself.—Pittabui gh Tele

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH, NO. 2
Every community needs sanitary laws. With
out adequate health the efficiency of a human
being in any calling is impaired. Health is
subject to law, quite as much as any thing
else, and a proper knowledge of the laws of
health and obiedance to them is essential
therefore to permanent, individual or public
prosperity. So important to the national safe
ty and to the well-being of great cities has
the public health been in all ages, that the
most particular attention has been given by
different peoples to sanitary laws. The first
and greatest law giver of the world, who pre
pared the code which lies at the foundation of
all right civil law throughout the world, gave
minute directions upon the subject of health.
So particular was this great and wise man in
the details of sanitary law, that some persons
who are averse to other requirements contain
ed in the same peerless Book, have sought to
throw odium upon the whole by deriding these
health-laws and ridiculing them as too min
ute ; and because of their minuteness border
ing, they say, on the indelicate. No wise man
will regard any minutife unimportant which
pertain to the essentialsof health. A lynch-pin
is a small part of a wagon or gun-carriage,
but it will not be thought too insignificant to
be attended to by those who are in need of
conveyances for the provisions of an army, or
for the weapons by which battles are won. In.
deed it is often upon the minute points that
the great matters of the world turn. Attention
to the little things secures the safety of the
greater ones. Neglect of them imperils every
thing.
The Mosaic law gave particular directions
touching diet and cleanliness. Cleanliness re
ceived as much attention as diet. The laws
concerning diet specified what should be eaten
and sometimes how it should be prepared.
Laws concerning cleanliness gave minute de
tails touching the person, the clothing, and
the dwellings of the people, and often prescri
bed personal habits for constant cultivation.
The Jewish cities were never allowed to over—
look the need that would arise from conta
gious diseases or epidemics. Under the Mo
saic law each city or large town, and, indeed,
every place that had need of it, was obliged
by law, (See Numbers v. 1-4, and Leviticus
ziii. 45, 46,) to provide a separate place called
by the Jews, Beth Chopshitk, or house of un
cleanliness, which we would call a hospital.
From this seclusion not even Kings, when
smitten by infectious diseases, were exempted.
See a case in 2 Kings xv, 5. These laws were
so wise in themselves and so manifestly whole
some that no city would have been thought to
be properly careful of its welfare, if their ob•
servanee had been neglected. As the Jews, in
their wanderings, observed the teachings of
their revered law-giver, and disseminated
them, other nations learned their value and
incorporated them in their statutes Minos of
Crete, I s ycurgus of Sparta, besides other emi
nent rulers in Greece and Rome and other
lands, were not backward in re-enacticg many
of the Mosaic laws for the benefit of their own
people. That which every person needed, but
which individuals for want of means could
not properly provide for themselves, was in
many ancient cities provided for the people at
the public expense. Hence the many mag
nificent structures which were erected for
public baths—some of which remain until this
day. It would not be amiss if every borough
and larger town or city were obliged by law,
under penalty, to provide and maintain pure
water for all the inhabitants, both for drinking
and ablutions of persons and apparel. In our
country, where no one—even though he may
have been a poor laborer in a foreign land be
fore he came here—is estopped under our laws
from attaining to wealth and influence, there
is a more general diffusion of those things
which go to make up a home, And it would
be nothing too severe as a requirement, if it
was required of every one who builds a dwel
ling house, or a house intended to be occupied
by human beings, that he or she should either
provide suitable bathing rooms and couven
iences, and proper sewerage and outbuildings
or not build at all. Such a requirement might
have made houses scarcer, bad it, been in ex
istence heretofore, but it would have made in
conveniences and sickness scarcer also. What
this town has lost while standing still during
the last six or eight weeks, a spectacle of hor
ror to surrounding regions, would have gone
far to provide such necessary arrangements for
every dwelling in town that lacks them. It
will be none too soon for our Board of Health,
and Town Council to address themselves to
the work of securing to our town such advan
Cages as must flow from a proper system of
WATER WORKS and SEWERAGE. The present
condition of many outbuildings attaches to
dwellings in Huntingdon would surprise any
intelligent person who has not given attention
to the subject. The WELLS on many lots are
unwholesome, and yet the supply of water is
not too abundant. How many a willing hand
could be employed, how many hungry and
needy persons could be set at useful and re
munerative employment, if this community
would address itself at once and vigorously to
the arraugementand consummation of plans for
the preservation and perpetuation of health in
a town which has been thus far signally fa
vored in that particular, May not this visita
tints of small—pox be the advance guard of
other ills that are only biding their time ? If
its warnings are heeded in time, the yet un
known evils may never show themselves. If
they are not, then who can tell how soon the
places of the living may be ravaged and the
city of the dead enlarged ? Who can tell how
great the damage that shall come to every
material interestof the town ? If evils are to be
averted they must be energetically and wisely
met, and that in good season. If the inesti
mable blessings of health and prosperity are
to be enjoyed they must be energetically and
seasonably sought. WELL—WISHER.

An Alpine Avalanche.
In the summer of 1864, a party of tourists,
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty, to an elevated and snow-covered
plateau, in order to obtain a better view of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the bleak
ness arid sterility of midwinter around and
above them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded it over
the edge of the plateau. In filling it struck
softer snow, which immediately gave way, and
soon an avalanche was tearing down the
mountain side burying and destroying every
thing in its course. As the handful of snow
become the irresistable avalanche, so the
hacking cough with sore throat and Catarrh,
if neglected, speedily develops into that dread
destroyer, Consuwptiou. In the early stages,
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will effect a cure,
though if the blood be affected or impoverish
ed it must be purified and enriched by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and the
liver and bowels kept active by his Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. Many who despaired of
life and had been given up to die by physicians
and friends, owe their restoration to the above
remedies.
ELY, Linn Co, lora, May Bth, 1877.
DR. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.:
Dear Sir—l was prostrated some three years
since with pleuro pneumonia, which left me
with a troublesome cough, that gradually grew
worse until physicians gave me up to die with
consumption. I tried several remedies, that
are advertised to cure consumption, but with
out obtaininz any relief or benefit. Seeing
your Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets advertised, I concluded to
try them, and I found them to be all that you
claim for them. My restoration has remained
complete for over two years. Inclosed find

recovered, gaining more than visual health and good feel
