The late failures, in Philadelphia,. had a

A son of our friend, Mr. Abraham Corbin,

his affliction.
Some people, when unforseen circumstances
bring them to the surface, and gain for them
an appointment to a lucrative office, desire to
hold on to it with as much tenacity as the
grim monster does to a deceased African.—
They should remember that "lightning never
strikes twice in the same place."
A trio of colored individuals despoiled the
chicken•coop of Mr. Crawford, on Allegheny
street, of a number of fowls, one night last
week. One of the party peached on his ac
complices, but before they could be arrested
they skipped for pastures new, and their dis
appearance from our midst is a good riddance
of bad rubbish.
The Huntingdon Journal, too, picks up its
bristles and pleads 'innocent." We are glad
to learn that one chap, at least, knew all about
it from the first.—Osceola Reville. Our
"bristles" are not up ; we only want to be
placed right on the record. We didn't take
any "chicken-pox" in our'n from the time the
first case was reported.
When we assert that the JOURNAL is "the
hands.imest and best-printed paper in this
region," we only give publicity to the general
verdict of the community, and whilst almost
every person praises its beauty, we think we
are fully justified in "blowing our own horn,"
even if its tooting does slightly arouse the
jealousy of our good-looking down-town con
temporary.
An exchange tells the whole story in a few
words when it says that twenty years of the
most friendly mention of an individual by an
editor will not atone for one line that does
not suit him, and "stop my paper" is the fiat.
But as they don't stop reading the paper. but
only stop paying for it, we can't see where
their revenge is. An editor don't of course
care for the money, but likes to have people
read his paper.
The editor of the Lewistown True Democrat
is loud in his praise of the following recipe
for making corn flannel cakes, which we pub
lish for the benefit of our lady readers: "Take
1 quart of sweet milk, 2 tablespoonfuls melted
butter, 4 eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls wheat flour,
a small teasponful soda, and a little salt. Beat
the eggs light, then mix, and add enough corn
meal to make a thin batter. Bake quick, on
a hot griddle."
The daughter of B. F. Wilson (then of To

was kidnapped from her home on the 11th of
December. Her name is Mattie, she is 13

and complexion, spare face. and was dressed
thinly in every day clothes when she lett.—
Any information that will lead to her recovery
will be most thankfully received. Address

Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURN4L exceeds that of any
other paper in the county by several hundred,
and that its patrons are generally of the better
class, comprising merchants, business men,
mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage
is desirable to every person engaged in any
and every branch of trade. it you want to get
the worth of your money avail yourselves of
the superior facilities offered by the use of its
columns. tf.
Clinton Houck and Robert Buchanan, ar
rested and committed to the Mifflin county
prison, some time ago, for the highway robbery
of James Kyle, a watchman on the P. K. R., a
notice of which appeared in the local columns
of the JOURNAL at the time, will be compelled
to remain in durance until the next seSsion of
court in that county, their case having been
continued at the late term. They will have
that much longer time to remain out of the
penitentiary.
Well, what good does it do anybody ? A
newspaper report may break up all the hap
piness of a family and set a whole community
of gossips by the ears, and end in finding that
it was the hearsay evidence of some old woman.
Can you restore the good name or happiness
you have wrecked? No; too often they have
departed forever. The crime of the gossip
stands next to murder. Imprisonment at hard
labor is a small punishment for a man or
woman who circulates an untruthful slander
prejudicial to reputation.—Altoona _Mirror.
Within about a mile and a half of Wilmore,
up upon the mountains in the dense forest,
there lives a hermit named Michael Daily.—
His but, which is about eight by ten feet, is
built of logs. He cultivates a small piece of
ground, raising corn and potatoes, and has
lived in this secluded spot for almost a quarter
of a century. He seldom ever leaves his
quarters to go abroad. When visited by any
one he is quite versatile and remarkably well
posted in the earlier history of the times.--
Why he has chosen to live this solitary life be
has nothing tc say. He is quite an old man.

Publishers are no better than bridge build
ers, or any other contractors that have work
to do for the county ; and it is wrong to give
any set of men special privileges by law.—
Local News. Of late years the Commissioners
have been in the habit of letting bridge con
tracts at public outcry. They advertise the
time, and on that day the contractors assemble,
and he who bids the lowest figure is awarded
the contract. We would like to see the printer
who would have the nerve to publicly pro
claim himself a RAT—the curse and scab of
the fraternity. And yet the News advocates
such a plan.
SPORTING NOTES
Rifle shooting is in vogue. It is a pleasant
pastime.
The Altoona Tribune says that a citizen of
Cambria county shot 164 crows, near Wilrnore,
one evening last week.
A Mr. Frank Thomas, of South Middletown
township. Cumberland county, the other day
shot and killed a wild cat which measured 5
feet in length.
A young man named Rodgers, of Ebensburg,
at a recent shooting match in that place, made
a string of 1 inches. He shot at a rest and
the distance was 80 yards. Very creditable
shooting.
The following is the score made by a num
ber of our marksmen,on Friday afternoon last,

A general invitation is extended to the
marksmen of Cambria, Blair, Bedford, Centre,
Clearfield, Mifflin and Juniata counties, to
come to Hunting lon and participate in the
grand rifle tournament to come off, in this
place, on Friday, the 22d inst. The contest
will be free to all corners, and we expect to
see a good representation of the crack shots
from the counties named.
The Mt. Union Times says : A large black
bear was seen on Jack's Mountain, near this
place on last Friday. Four hunters, with their
dogs, tried to kill the old fellow, but unfortu
nately, bruin found a hiding place in a large
hole among the rocks, which blasted the ex
pectations of his pursuers, Not one of them
ventured to go in after the bear, not desiring
to have their "pretty self spoiled," as one of
the number remarked to us on Monday. The
dogs and the bear had a desperate fight, the
latter coming off victorious.
SCIENCE TO THE FORE!
AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW !
A JOURNAL Reporter Interviews one of Huntingdon's
Learned Physicians in Regard to "The Dis
ease" and Publishes the Result for the
Benefit of Suffering Humanity.
In order to settle in the minds of our people
the nature and character of "the disease" with
which our town. is so severely afflicted, we
directed our reporter to interview one of our
prominent physicians, and the result of that
interview we give below :
Reporter—Doctor, as you are aware, I am a
representative of the HUNTINGDON JOURNAL, and
am here now to interview you in relation to
the disease which affects our people an.'
startles the whole community. It is thought
that an authorized statement from you, will
materially compose the public mind and allay
the excitement which now prevails. Do you
object to answering such questions as I may
ask you, leaving yoti to decide as to their
propriety ?
Doctor—l don't want to be interviewed
about the disease; I know very well what you
are at. When you reporters get hold of a
man, you talk nice enough to him, until you
tret him to talking, and then when he gets
done you fix it up to suit yourselves. I won't
be interviewed unless you promise to print
what I say, just as I say it, without fain' it
up or puttin' in your own grammar and spellin'.
Reporter—We are often obliged, my dear
doctor, to change the language of those whonr
we interview, striving always to preserve,
however, their ideas intact ; but the reporter
who would attempt to smooth your language
or purify your diction would be vain indeed.
Doctor—You do me honor. Proceed to in
terview.
Reporter—Thank you, sir. What do you
call the "disease" of which I have spoken ?
Doctor—Now put it down just as I say it.
Some of this disease is chicken-pox, some of
it is confluent chicken-pox, and the balance
of it is measles.
Reporter—Do I understand you to mean,
doctor, that we have had no cases of small
pox in Huntingdon ?
Doctor—What I mean to say is that we have
not had a single case of regular, straight out
and out small-pox. It was chicken-pox at
first, but the cold days we had changed it into
small-pox. _ . .. .
Reporter—Then, doctor, chicken-pox may
become small-pox by reason of cold weather ?
Doctor—Certainly, sir. Cold weather may
turn any disease into small-pox.
Reporter—Well, then, would not warm
weather reduce small pox to chicken pox?
Doctor—lt frequently happens. I want to
prove this by teiiiu' what f done once. I had
a patient who was bit with a mad dog and he
took the hydrophobia. It was warm weather
and I didn't know' what to do, and 1 had to do
somethin' soon, because the man was snapping
around like blazes. I put him in the pump
trough and putupel cold water on him, and he
got a little better, but the water was not cold
enough. So I got permission from a man who
owned ac ice house, and I hung him up in it.
It acted like a charm. In three hours and
fourteen minutes I took him down, and he had
a well developed case of small-pox. Then I
put him in a tub-full of warm water, and
brought the small-pox down to chicken pox;
and then as I didn't know how to cure chicken
pox, I made the water a little hotter, and
brought him out full of warts, and I make
warts a specialty. The man is livin' and well.
Reporter—W by, doctor, do warts bear any
relation to small-pox?
Doctor—Now git my words just as I say
them. There isn't much difference. They
belong to the same fatally of skin complaints.
In my practice I have often noticed that when
we had an epidemic of *arts it was generally
closely followed by either small-pox, chicken
pox, or trichina.
Reporter—What do you mean by trichina?
Doctor—Worms, or little snakes in hogs.
Reporter—Do you Area small pox the same
as warts?
Doctor—So, also, or nearly so.
Reporter—Theo, doctor, why not recommend
to those afflicted with the disease that they
tie a knot in a black thread for each eruption,
and place it under the dripping of the roof, or
else suggest to them the idea of washing the
affected parts in the water contained in the
hollow of an old stump ? _
Doctor—lt would take too much work. In
the first place, the brealca' out is so bad that
it would be almost impossible to get a string
long enough to hold the knots, and people to
tie them. Stump water is a good thiug, but
you see the trouble is in getting the stumps to
the patients or the patients to the stumps.
Reporter—Does chicken pox ever prove fatal ?
Doctor—The books give but few instances.
Reporter—Then, sir, upon your theory that
this is chicken-pox, how do you account for
so many deaths?
Doctor—l don't want to answer any more
questions. Why don't you read the Globe?
Reporter—But, my dear doctor, for the
satisfaction of our readers please answer this
last question. I shall not trouble you aiay
further.
Doctor—Well then I will illustrate my an
swer. A man went over to Clearfield one
time, and when hsa..pame home he was tellin'
his friends about the',big timber there. He
said the trees was so close together that a
man couldn't walk between them, and as for
deer, he saw them there with horns four feet
wide a runnin' through the woods at light
ning speed When asked how deer, with horns
four feet wide, could get through woods where
a man couldn't pass, he replied, "God, that's
their own lookout."
At this point the interview was interrupted,
and the reporter was obliged to withdraw.
FIRE ! FIRE !—At one. o'clock. on Mon
day morning last, the quiet slumbers of the
citizens of Shirleysburg were disturbed by the
appalling and startling cry of "Fire !" The
fire was discovered to be in the large barn of
Mr. John Jacobs, located in the northern end
of the town, and so rapid was the conflagra
tion that none of its contents could be saved.
The barn contained large quantities of hay.
straw and fodder, besides about one hundred
bushels of wheat and a quantity of oats. The
live stock burned consisted of nine horses, two
mules, eight bead sr cattle, and fourteen head
of sheep. One mule and two sheep, by some
means, made their way out of the flames and
were saved. Another sheep escaped from the
building, but it was so badly burned that it
died shortly after. The calmness of the morn
ing, and the heavy rain that was falling saved
the adjacent property From destruction. Mr.
Jacobs had an insurance of $700.00 on the
building and grain, but none on the stock, and
his loss will be quite heavy, reaching, perhaps,
two or three thousand dollars.
Capt. John Brewster, to whom we are in
deqocl for the above facts, informs us that the
fire was the work of an incendiary beyond all
question. It is a great pity that the fiend
could not have been discovered when the con
flagration was in progress and his vile csrcass
thrown to the flames. All incendiaries de
serve such a fate.
Since the above was in type our attentive
correspondent "Bob" sends us the following
additional particulars :
A stable adjoining the barn belonging to
Mr. John Stubs was burned to the ground.—
Mr. Stubs lost nothing but his stable and some
chickens, which will foot up about $2OO.
G. V. Cornelius and Mrs. Jennie B. Atherton,
son and daughter of G. W. Cornelius, of Shirley
township, left for Texas on the 28th inst. Mr.
Atherton left on the 31st ult., and has located
in Kouffwan county, Texas, his wife expects
to meet him at Terrill, on or about the Ist of
February. Mr. Cornelius is a young man and
goes to the Lone Star State to make his home
there.
A CONSTABLE MURDEROUSLY As
SAULTED—IIia Life Despaired 01.—The little
village of Mill Creek, five miles east of this
place, was thrown into a fever of excitement,
on Tuesday night last, by a brutal assault hay
ing been committed upon Absalom Robison, a
citizen of the place, and Constable of Brady
township, by a man named L. D. Civils, who
is also a resident of the same place. As far
as we have been able to learn the facts are
about as follows: It seems that a warrant
had been issued by Esquire Cornelius for the
arrest of Civils on a charge of assault and bat
tery, and placed in the bands ofconstable Rob
ison. That officer, in company with two other
gentlemen, named Tate and Shingler, repaired
to the residence of Civils, at about half-past
9 o'clock in the evening, for the purpose 01
arresting him, but the officer bad no sooner
entered the house than Civils attacked him
with a base ball bat, striking him on the head
and crushing in his skull. Civils then made
at Mr. Shingler, and succeeded in striking
that gentleman a severe but not dangerous
blow. The wound of constable Robison is a
dangerous one and will more than likely prove
fatal.
Civils was in this place on Tuesday morning,
and bad bills printed at the Jonatiet, Job
Rooms, for a sale of his personal effects on the
6th inst. We learn that after be struck Mr.
Robison, be loitered around the place until
Wednesday morning, every person seeming
afraid to arrest him, until Constable West
brook went down, arrested him and lodged
him in prison.
A MERITED COMPLIMENT.— The Plan
ished Sheet Iron of W. D. Wood Co.—We
clip the f dlowing from the Pittsburgh Kvenlng
Chronicle of January 24th : Pittsburghers are
familiar with the fact that Messrs. W. U. Wood
& Co., of the McKeesport Sheet Iron Works,
• have been laboring for years to manufacture
an iron that would be equal to Russia iron.
They have been the recipients of ..uineroms
commendations, but, the most pointed comes
from the National Association of Stove Mann
facturers, which convened in annual session
in New York on the 16th inst. All the prom
inept stove manufactnr,irs of the country
were represented, and as the members of the
association can speak advisedly as to the
quality of the iron produced at the establish
ment, the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, will convey their idea
of its quality :
Resolved, That we consider it the duty of
all American manufacturers to bring into their
consumption, as much as possible, home
products, especially when they can procure
them at a reduced cost and of equal quality
compared with foreign. We therefore take
pleasure, as an association of American manu
f icturers, in recommending to the use of stove
makers throughout the country American
planished iron, at the same time compliment
ing the manufacturers (W. D. Wood & Co.,
Pittsburgh, Pa.,) upon their success in pro
ducing an article of such good quality and
beauty of finish.
ITINERANT FOWLS.—Our readers will
no doubt remember the notice we published,
two or three years ago, relating to five chick.•
ens that had been carried seve, al miles upon the
coupling-pole of a wagon. We have a similar
account to publish to-day, and strange to say
the fowl in this case is the progeny of the ones
referred to above. A lady residing in the vi
cinity of Orbisonia, secured a "setting" of
eggs from Mr. Benj. Isenberg, of Alexandria,
the owner of the five chickens of an itinerant
turn of mind, and raised quite a respectable
brood out of them. On Monday morning last,
some members of this lady's family bad to
leave home at 3 o'clock in the morning in or
tier to reach Mt. Union in time to take a west
ern bound train over the P. R. R., and when
they arrived at the station and alighted from
the wagon they were astonished to find a
chicken perched upon the coupling-pole. The
fowl had retained its perch while the wagon
had been driven at a lively speed over 9 miles
of rough country roads, and seemed to enjoy
the situation as much as if it had been snugly
quartered in a warm coop.
$10t) BOUNTY TO VETERAN SoLDIERs.
—We find the following going the rounds in
our exchanges, and we publish it for the ben
efit of those interested : "All soldiers who
re-enlisted for three years between January
Ist, 1863, and April Ist, 1864, having previ
ously served nine months, are entitled to s4uo
bounty, or so much thereof as remains unpaid.
In nearly every case where bounty is due, the
soldier being dead, the nearest surviving heirs
are entitled. All soldiers who are discharged
for wounds, rupture, or any bodily injury (not
disease), are entitled to the full amount of
bounty they would have received had they
served out their entire term. Many pensioners
are now entitled to an increase, the pensions
having been increased since they were placed
on the roll, and an increase can be obtained
if properly prosecuted."

Fur the JOURNAL.]
A Dhrame.
DT DENNIS &RAFFERTY.
I dhreamed that me ould uncle Barney,
Who used to be mayor of Cork,
Had crossed the Big Pond and had settled,
n Fifth Avenue in New York,
And bein' a man of large fortune,
Wid niver a child to hie name,
Had ei••t me a barrel of , uoney
What think ye of that for a dhrame ?
Methought I was reading the JOURNAL,
And wondering where was ould "Pat,"
While Biddy was waiting far items,
Wid one arm embracing the cat.
Whin up came a man in a hurry,
And halted forninst the front dure ;
Said he, "are you Dennis the post ?"
Said I, "gramachee ! to be shore."
Thin Biddy, who thought 'twas the Sheriff
Wid writ and so forth number two,
Was near letting dhrive wid a ladle ;
My wink caused the darlin' to rue.
Whin up came a cart wid a barrel—
The horse was near gone wid his load,
And dumping the cart right before us,
The shiners rolled out on the road.
I ran for a bucket, and Biddy
Wid more than a lunatic; shmile,
Sat on, and attempted to cover,
The whole of that beautiful pile.
We stowed it away in the closet,
And sat down to laugh ourselves calm,
And found a humane institution,
Somewhere in the wilds of Siam.
We slut off manetime for a lawyer,
To measure the worth of our pile,
And find out the cash market value
Of narrow guage rail roads per mile.
We thought we should like a plantation
Of two or three States in the west,
But waited to see if the lawyer
Would think it was wise to invest.
The lawyer was long about coming,
And I, in approaching the dure
To look for him, trod on a wake place,
That Biddy bad scrubbed in the tiure.
Ah ! fatal misstep of the poet,
Farewell to bright fortune and fame;
Me feet ploughed the mud in the cellar,
And sheep wint me illegant dhrame. •
The Parent of Insomnia.
The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good dige , tion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with it. The brain and stomach
sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms
of a weak state of the gastric organs is a dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain.
Invigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to
mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics
which, though they may fur a time exert a
soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease
to act, and invariably injure the tone of the
stomach. The Bitters on the contrary, restore
activity to the operations of that all important
organ, and their beneficient influence is re
fleeted in sound sleep and a tranquil state of
the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is
likewise given ,o the action of the liver and
bowels by its use. Lfeb.l-Im.

AMONG THE 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, bur, 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. pan4-Im.
A GENTLE LINT.
In our style of climate, with its sudden changes
of temperature,—rain, win and sunshine often in
termingled in a single day,—it is no wonder that

resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Bo
schee's German Syrup kept about your home for
immediate use will prevent serious sickness, alarge
doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three
or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemor
rhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any
disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is sim
ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. Ger
