Valentines are circulating. The sleighing is played out. The ground hog is a failure. Read the first and fourth pages. Slim congregations on Sunday. Saw-logs are rolling in to town. Castle Irvin contains fourteen prisoners. Tramps still give this place a wide berth. The schools will be opened in a few days. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon eats saur kraut. The quality of ice being put up is not par excellence. An artic wave swept over this piacc on Monday. "Over the hills to the hospital" is the burden of some people's song. The familuiiilound of the church bells was heard again dit Sunday. Examine the tab on your paper, and ascertain how you stand with the printer. The town people receive very few invitations to visit their country cousins. Dr. Baliantyne requlsts us to say that his little son has not the small-pox. Goods ought to be cheap in Huntingdon, judging from the enforced sales. Tax collectors tell us that they find it an up hill business to gather in the ducats. "Joe" Jacob is running out his stock with the avowed purpose of closing business. A. R. Stewart, esq, has recovered, almost entirely, from his late attack of paralysis. The bridge across the canal on the Broad Top Railroad has been undergoing repairs. Grim humor—" Small pox, For Rent." It isn't every one who wants to rent that sort of thing. Judge C. L. Pershing, of Schuylkill county, is presiding at the Blair county court this week. Col. W. J. Geissinger has been chosen as auctioneer by Sheriff Irvin, and he fills the bill admirably. Our irap of darkness has been on the sick list, fora week past, but he has fully recovered and is at his post again. See that every one is vaccinated. As long as the small-pox has material upon which to work we will not get entirely rid of it. "Small pox and ice cream for sale here" is the way a down town sign reads. It is need less to say customers are not numerous. The man who stops you and says, "Oh ! see here, I've got an item for you," has a small axe of his own to grind, nine times ont of ten. Our esteemed friend, C. H. Anderson, esq., is turning out some handsoine designs in pottery from the Ardenheim Iron Stone Works. Remember that the JouaNat Joh Room turns out the handsomest, most attractive and cheapest Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf. Prof. A. L. Guss, of our borough, is wr'ting some interesting articles for the Juniata Tri bune concerning the local antiquities of Ju niata county. We are gratified to learn that the Rev. M. P. Doyle is not going to remove from Hun tingdon. His new circuit is within easy reach of this place by railroad. One of the hardest rains of the season fell in this bailiwick on Friday night last, and for a little while the streets presented the appear ance of miniature lakes. "Stiles" Jenkins is the lion of the town.— He gained more notoriety in a week or two than many men do in a whole lifetime. He bears his honors meekly. The only sealps that we are interested in now are the scalps of Messrs. Port and Dewees, sod these are not likely to be worth half the reward fixed in the modified bill. The children in some of the quarantined houses look upon the policemen as the very embodiment of everything. that is satanic.— They wish them the fate of Korah. Represent itive Port snys that seven thous and persona petitioned for the repeal of the Printing Act. Wonder whether he remembers the fate of Ananias and Sapphira ? The people have not been asked to stand upon the side-walk, in intolerable weather, for an hour or two, at many of the late funerals in this place. This is an improvement. Mr. Henry Kreider, one of Warriorsmark's oldest and most respected citizens, died at his residence, near that place, on Thursday night a week ago, et the advanced age of 75 years. Old and young, rich and poor, all unite in testifying to the true merit of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. For over a quarter of a century it has proved itself a true, tried and trusted friend. Sale bills printed at this office, at very reasonable figures, and the sale inserted in the JOURNAL for a trifling advance. Every one ought to advertise their sales in the news papers. tf. The Enterprise Transfer Company has a bad Lot on hands at this time. Pour Robert I he is having Lots of 'em just now. May he have a speedy delivery. lie should have been vac cinated. The ice left the Raystown Branch on Satur day last, doing considerable damage to fences along the banks of that streaul, and carrying sway the ferry-rope ofour young friend, Lewis Corbin. A woman tramp, named Mary Orth, aged 41 years, and a native of Switzerland, died in the Juniata county prison, on the 3d inst., wh cher she bad gone and asked for shelter the night previous. Gen. James Burns, one of the oldest ex members of the Pennsylvania Legislature, died at Burn's Mills, in Bedford county, last week, at the advanced aze of 81. Ile was an excel lent gentleman. A gentleman named Peter Wertz, residing at Reedsville, appears to be Mifflin county's champion shootist. We hope Mr Wertz will put in an appearance at the rifle tournament on the 22d inst. Owing to the partial abandonment of the ore mines in the vicinity of Johnstown, here tofore worked by the Cambria Iron Company, about two hundred miners have been thrown out of employment. Tl, , municipal autborities of Shirleysburg have quarantined the Alms House. Two po licemen have been placed at the entrance to permit no one to enter and to prevent the in mates from coming out. Rev. C. M. Stock, of Gettysburg, will preach in the Evangelican Luthern church, on next Sabbath, at 14 o'clock, A. M., and also at o'clock in the evening. The public are cor dially invited to hear him. D. Caldwell, esq., is going into the telegraph pole business extensively. The pipe lines mean to go through, the Legislature of Penn sylvania to the contrary notwithstanding. See advertisement on first page. The railroad tie business, which has been dull for several months past, on account of an over-supply, is about to revive, a notice having been issued by the P. R. R. Conipauy that it will receive ties along its line. "Gentleman Legislators !" A happy thought ! We pity the wit who must make a typo graphical error to enable him to perpetrate a witticism. Quite as stupid as going to Har risburg "against his own interest," or beating himself out of $72.00 ! A couple of young men were convicted in the Clearfield county court, the other day, for disturbing a religions meeting, and the Judge fined one of them $2O and 30 days in jail, and the other $25 and 40 days in On Monday last, as Mr. Jacob Summers was entering the store room of D. G. Confer, near Marklcsburg, he dropped to the _arch dead.— Mr. Summers was about 80 years of age, and .was highly respected by all who knew him. Lewis Irvin, who has been housed for a couple of months by an attack of small pox, is out again, looking very little the worse from his long confinement. Harry Noel, another sufferer from the same disease, is also out and resumed work. The churches were all open on Sunday last, but we understand that the congregations were not as large as they were prior to the embargo. In the evening the Methodist church was the only one open, the others deeming it prudent not to hold evening services. Our clever friend, Capt. John Brewster, one of Uncle Sam's postal clerks, rigged in his handsome and becoming uniform, spent a few hours in Huntingdon, on Saturday last and intertwined digits with his many friends. The fine exhibit made by the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad for the year 1877, must be extremely gratifying to our friend Supt. Gage. At this rate, in a few years, it will be as good stock as is upon the market. Illustrated sale bills a specialty at the Joun NAL Job Rooms. We have the largest variety of "cuts," for this kind of printing, to be found in any country office in the State. Sale bills printed at an hour's notice, and as cheap as the cheapest. tf. A reward has been offered, by the people of Shirleysburg, for the apprehension of the scoundrel who fired the property of Mr. Jacob, of that place, a fortnight ago. We do hope he will be caught and that summary convic tion may follow. It is said that there are a number of people in Huntingdon who have not been vaccinated. This is the only grounds upon which new cases of small-pox can be accounted fur. The au thorities ought to see to it that every one, man, woman and child is vaccinated. No fooling. Judge Summers informs us that he has housed in the neighborhood of five hundred tons of excellent ice, for his next season's trade. The Judge commenced storing ice early in the season, and kept at it from time to time until his mammoth house would hold no more. David Lutz, of Shirleysburg, has been ar rested and lodged in jail on suspicion of having set fire to the barn of Mr. John Jacobs, in that village, on the night of the 28th ult. It is an ugly charge, and if innocent, we hope the ac cused will be Able to produce sufficient ev idence to secure his acquittal. A musical entertainment will be given for the benefit of the Sunday Schools, at the Shavers' Creek Bridge Presbyterian church, on Wednesday evening the 20th, and at Peters burg on Saturday evening the 23rd inst. The people are cordially invited to patronize the object of the concerts by a liberal attendance. On the first page of last week's issue we gave place to an article from the Philadelphia Times,deseriptive of the death and resuscitation of one [Tarry Schrack. The whole thing was a fraud, and Schrack a scoundrel of the first water, and if he don't mend his ways he will see that other fellow when he does pass in his checks. We suspect the trouble in Juniata county is the same as in many others—too many papers for the population and the business, and some must sooner or later go under.—Selinysgruve Times. We are extremely sorry for our friend, Mcertim. May he soon find himself upon his feet again with "a heart for any fate." "Never give it up so, Mr. Brown I" Advertisers will hear in mind that the cir culation of the JOURNAL is several hundred more than any other paper in town, and its rates as low as the lowest. Its list is not made up of "pauper subscribers" either, as a certain individual puts it. If you want your money's worth,advertise in ''the haudsomest and best printed paper in this region." Altoona's wing-shots are not quite as per feet as Capt. Bogardus, in hitting glass balls, if we are to judge from the attempts of four of them on Saturday last. Out of a possible 160 the party succeeded in hitting eight balls. If they would take a broad paddle and strike the balls as they leave the trap they would find it an improvement on the shot-gun. The Chairman of the Greenback-Labor party requests us to say to the secretaries of Green back-Labor clubs throughout the county, that he desires them to make a full report to him of all their members, post office address and location of club, and everything necessary for the Chairman to know. This is necessary to secure active co-operation in the approaching campaign. The Local News wants the Constables to publish the election proclamation in the town papers. As their proclamations would not occupy more than an inch or two we suppose the News "could find the space and the type" to publish them. But, then, what would the "tax-payers" say to the unnecessary squander ing of the public funds ? "Consistency thou art a jewel." The present Legislature will, ,po doubt, in its magnanimity, establish the office of In spector of Lobbies for the benefit of Peter Herdic. It is determined that no one shall suffer while it can make room for him. It ought to make some provision for Port and Dewees after the conclusion of the present session, or their valuable services will be lost to the county. Mr. J. S. Jenkins says the report of the wreck of the Metropolis, published in the Philadelphia Times, does him injustice. He did not wish to convey the idea that he was in the late Confederate Navy, or service, but when asked how he fared with the North Car olina wreckers he said that he told them that he had been in the late Confederate service, and this secured him good treatment. A Grand Instrumental Concert will be given by the Bergnappen Kapelle, at the Penn Street Opera House, Friday evening, February 15th. 1878. This band, it is claimed, has played with splendid success before the German Emperor and the King of Bavaria and many other cel ebrities. It comes splendidly recommended and will afford our citizens a rare treat. Ad mission 50 and 35 cents. Gallery 25 cents. It is extremely strange that the Local News only ascertained that the Juniata Printing Act was a political measure within the last moon or so, while every mother's son, who knew anything about the act in question, knew that it was originally extended to this county principally for the benefit of the Monitor, which was previously denied every line of official advertising. There is no accounting for the stupidity of some people. If people knew the great injustice that they do by giving currency to lying reports, ac crediting business and professional men with having small-pox in their families, we think they would be more careful. Every one who retails a lie of this kind ought to be punished. No one should give currency to a report unless it conies directly from a physician or the Board of Health. If a few examples could be made of this kind of sandal-mongers it would do a world of good. A gentleman tells us that be heard the fol lowing impromptu witticism a few days ago: While passing a house pater familias was seen coming out and turning a corner with an axe on his shoulder, evidently in search of some thing to reduce to kindling wood. He had just laid his vandhl hand on a gate prop when his better half sung out: "There, just like ou, you are going to cut up my gate prop." "Very much unlike you," was the prompt re joinder, "it will never prop a-gate any more." Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir culation of the JOURNAL exceeds that of any other paper iu the county by several hundred, and that its patrons are generally ofthe better class, comprising merchants, business men, mechanics, fa , mers, 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. On the first page of this week's issue will be found a letter from Dr. B. Rush Senseney, of Chamhersburg, giving his mode of treat ment, etc., of small-pox, together with a highly interesting article by the same gentlemen, de scriptive of his experience with the disease while in charge of a •'p 'st-house" in a miners' camp in Southern Nevada. Few men, if any, have bad more experience in dealing with this loathsome disease than Dr. Senseney, and we bespeak for his articles a careful perusal by our readers. We are told that a man on Moore street, who is suffering from an attack of small-pox, on Monday last scraped together all the dust that he could find in his room, tied it up neatly in a small package, and threw it on the pave ment in front of his residence for the purpose of giving the disease to any one who might be so unfortunate as to pick up the package. If this be true the scoundrel should be prose- cuted, or what would be still better, driven to the suburbs of the town and shot. Such a black-`warted scoundrel don't deserve to live. "We will not eugage in the •cut throat' business," etc., says the Local News. You won't, eh ? Why, you have been engaged in that kind of business since you issued the first number of the News. You have no established rates for any kind of work, and are willing to take almost any price. Of course your limited circulation would not justify you in charging as much for advertising as a paper with at most double the circulation of the News, but there is uo excuse for your playing "RAT' in regard to job work. If it is to be a "cut throat" business hereafter, remember that you are responsible, and "you can't shake your gory locks at us and say that we did it." The annual report of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad shows the receipts during the year 1877 to have been $261,410.25, and expenses $151.333.02, leaving net earnings $110.,077.23. The number of passengers car ried in 1877 was 47,362. The total cumber of tons of freight moved was 388,396, of which 140,143 tons were Broad Top coal, and 187,483 were Cumberland coal, the whole tonnage being 5,760 tons less than in 1876. The fol lowing officers were elected for the year 1878 : President, B. Andrews Knight; Directors, Bothwell Wilson, John Devereux, S. V. Wit liatnsen,Jas. Long, William Whitaker, Joseph H. Trotter, lion. D. J. Morrell, Win. I'. Jenks, Charles W. Wharton, Thomas R. Patton, James Day Rowland, Jacob Naylor; Secretary and Treasurer, J. P. Aertsen. "We are in receipt of the Huntingdon (Pa) JOURNAL, one of the best printed papers in the Keystone State. It recalls to our mind many old associations connected with politics and eel tournaments on the Juniata in the good old days. We welcome the JOURNAL most heartily to these gold ribbed hills and ever pray." The above is clipped from the Black Villa Journal, a paper recently started at Rapid City, Dakota, and proves that its editor is competent to tell a good thing when he sees it. We learn from a private source that our old friend Brainerd, who used to sling ink on the Tyrone herald, does the localizing on the Journal, which accounts for its well-filled columns and its sparkling wit. We trust that cur o!d.•time friend may amass a fortune, and save his scalp locks from being lifted by the ICez Perces. THE NEW RAILROAD—PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ITS CONSUMMATION IN THE MARYLAND COURTS-Attempt to Blockade the "Narrows."— Some weeks ago objections were filled by the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad coin pany, through their attorney J. H. Jo .don, Esq., to the verdict of the jury of condemna tion whic.i had awarded that company $7,000 damages to be paid by the Pennsylvania rail road company in Maryland for the right of way through the property of the forma in the "Narrows." The reasons for asking the ilijauction were : First, that the sum fixed by the jury was inadequate. Second, that the lives of the plaintiff's passengers would be greatly endangered by the running of another road through the Narrows. Third, that the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad com pany hold the lands by condemnation, and that lands once condemned can never be transferred to other parties by a similar process. Fourth, that the Pittsburgh and Connellsville railroad company have a right prior to that of the other companies. The court, after hearing both sides refused to grant the injunction The question whether or not the verdict of the condemnation jury shall be affirmed was then brought before the court. There is no appzal from the decision of the court, what ever it may be, but if the dicision should be against the verdict a new injunction may be asked for. An adverse dicision would cause great inconvenience, delay and expense to the new company. The case is an important one and was on trial for a number of days. Etni nent counsel were employed on both sides, and great interest was manifested. We give the testimony of Mr. Ilealy, President of the new road, as found in the News. He gave an account of a conference betwaen himself and Mr. Mayer (of the C. & P. road) in which he explained to the latter that the new line could not be run over the Cumberland and Pennsyl vania road, as proposed, as there would then be three time-tables in operation on one road, which would not work. lle then made a proposition to Mr. Mayer to buy from the latter's company a strip of land in the "Nar rows" f: r t he sum of $l,OOO. Mr. Mayer said that he could not give him an answer until he had seen the land ; he said nothing about the contract with the Pittsburgh and Connellsville company requiring the laying of an additional track, and lett the witness under the impression that the offer would be accepted. Mr. Healy stated that he did not consider the land asked for worth $2OO. He couldn't say from practical knowledge whether the crossing of the two roads would be dangerous, but thought not, as the point was visible fora long distance on both sides, and was inside the city limits, where the trains would be compelled to run at a very slow rate. Mr.% Healey also stated that the route proposed, and which would necessi tate the crossing of the other company's track, was the only practicable one, both as regarded safety and economy. Mr. Hayden, chief.engi neer of the Pennsylvania company in Maryland was placed upon the stand and testified that there was enough room on the north side of the "Narrows" for five tracks. This testimony was introduced for the purpose of showing that the Cumberland and Pennsylvania com pany could build the additional track for the Pittsburgh and Connellsville railroad and still leave ample space for the laying of the new railroad's track. Mr. l'homas Johnson testified that be was on the jury of condemnation, and that he did not consider that the land had any market value, and that the five tracks could be used without danger it . properly managed. Mr. Hanson Willison testified that he considered the land in queotion to be worth, on an aver age, about $3OO per acre, and that he thought there would be no danger in the use of five tracks. On Tuesday morning Judge Pearre delivered his opinion in the case. It was quite lengthy, occupying neerly an hour in delivery. The main point dwelt upon, and which contained the gist of the whole decision, was that land once condemned for the use of a corporation like a railroad company was not subject to a second condemnation. The court cited numer ous decisions in different States in support of the opinion, one of the decisions hiving been given in the circuit court for Allegheny county by Judge Martin. The court was of opinion that even an act of the legislature could not legalize the condemnation of the property of a railroad company which has been obtained by a similar process. So, without going to any extent into the other points of the case, the court set aside the verdict of the jury upon this purely legal ground. Notwithstanding this adverse decision by the courts the work on the new railroad will not be hindered thereby. The new company will take the other side of the Narrows for their road, and the work will be pushed for ward vigorously. Engineers are now at work making a re-survey of the route, and the con tracts for the grading, &c., will be let on the 14th inst. According to the notice given by President Healy the contracts were to be given ou t yesterday, the 7th, but owing to the proceedings in the courts, the time has been extended to the 14th in order to make new estimates, &c. It can be set down as a fixed fact, however, that the new road will be built, and that Bedford will, at an early day, be in direct and independent communication with Cumberland.—Bedford Gazette. TILE RIFLE TOURNAMENT.—We are in formed that alp the arrangements necessary to the success of the Rifle Tournament, to come off in this place, on the 22d inst., have been completed. The rules are: Ten shots to con stitute a"striug," distance one hundred yards, off-hand, plain sights. Letters have been re ceived from several gentlemen, residing in ad joining counties, signifying their intention of being present and participating in the contest. As the match will be free to a,l comers we see no good reason wby it should not be largely attended and a success in every par ticular. As we stated last week, no person need stay away through fear of the disease that has been in our midst for some time past. The disease is rapidly dying out, ant the half dozen houses where it stilt lingers are so closely guarded that the inmates cannot leave them under any pretext whatever. The churches have been opened, business is re viving and Huntingdon will soon be herself again. Come and enjoy yourself on the 22d.

Two JLTDOFS FOR BLAIR, CAMBRIA, HUNTINGDON AND FULTON.—Locking another county on the already large District—Ambitious candidates seek a way out of present insurmountable djiculties.—The Altoona Evening Mir/ or, of the 7th inst., contained the following, under date of Harrisburg. Feby. 6th, viz : Ever since tho adoption of the new consti tution considerable dissatisfaction has been felt and has found expression in reference to the judicial districting of the State. This year the chief agitation is occasioned by of forts at change in your district. The m •mbera of the lobby assisted by a Senator or two are busy "fixing" the Senate for the favorable consideration of a bill shortly to be presented by which it is proposed to cut Fulton county off from the Thirty-ninth District, and attach it to the present Twenty-fourth District (Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon). This will leave Franklin alone in the Thirty ninth, but as that county has a population of 43,000 it is entitled to be erecte i into a separate district with a single law judge, dispensing with theassociates. The addition of Fulton to your district will enlarge the population to over 115,000, thus requiring the election of an additional law judge. There are two agencies, in particular, at work for the consummation of this scheme. In Huntingdon and doubtless elsewhere in the district there are aspirants for judicia; honors to whom this world be a plum which they would like to gather in unto themselves ; and they are willing to risk the addition of a county giving a steady Democratic majority of from 350 to 400. The bill will have the support of Senator Fisher, of Huntingdon county. The other agency at work is the desire of Judge Rowe's friends, of the Thirty-ninth Dis trict, for his re-election. With Fulton's ad verse majority of 350 and possibly more, lie thinks he cannot succeed, and it is extremely doubtful if Franklin could pile up large enough a Republican majority to effect the success of the Democracy in Fulton. This will, if any thing alone is able, effect the end in view, as it makes sure the election of the Republican judges instead of one Democrat and one Re publican. The matter has not yet come to a head, as Senator Lemon rests complacently on the fence. Au effort was made to get him off, but was not successful. Judge Dean was re quested to write a letter or sign a petition in favor of the project, but this lie refused to do, saying they might work it out themselves as best they can. It is well known that Judge Dean would have no objection to slicing Hun tingdon off your district and confining his judicial labors to Blair and Cambria. Blair alone would hardly relieve him from idleness and he prefers the two counties to the one.— Any project of this kind would receive the unhesitating and "unanimous" support of Senator Lemon. If the Senate, however, can be "set up" on the original proposition you may shortly look out fur a bill to that efl•ect. K. THAT 8400 SOLDIERS' BOUNTY.—A week or two ago we published an item, that we found floating about on the sea of news p.perdom, stating that "all soldiers Vvho re enlisted for three years, between January Ist, 1861, and April let., 1864, having previously served nine months, were entitled to $4OO bounty,or so much thereof as remains unpaid." At the time we stated that we published the information for what it was worth, and it turns out to be worth nothing at all. A number of soldiers employed au attorney to examine into the matter, and he immediately wrote to the proper department at Washington, and in a day or two received the intelligence that "There have no bounty laws been passed of a general character since July, 28th, 1866, and the statement referred to its buncombe. The bounty referred to in published statement was payable in instalments, and these instalments were all paid as fast as they accrued, and when the men were discharged they received all there was due up to their discharge. Where the soldier died in the service, and the heirs have not yet received the remaining instal ments, then they are entitled thereto, but such cases are now rare." HANDSOME PICTURES FREE.—The pub ushers of LEISURE nouns, a mammoth 16 page literary and family paper, full of choice stories, sketches, poetry, etc., written by the ablest writers, desiring that every one should see their paper, will take three months' sub scription, commencing with the papers con taining the opening chapters of ft splendid story entitled "Holden With the Cords," by the author of "Shiloh," "My Winter in Cuba," etc., fur the small sum of fifteen cents (or postage stamps), and will send each subscriber free a pair of elegant 6xB chromes, suitable for framing and adorning any home. They will return the money to any one not satisfied that they get twice its value $1,500 in prizes is given free to agents. The Parent of Insomnia. The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is, in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion 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 for 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 to the action of the liver and bowels by its use. feb.l-Im.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR From J. 4 Tynes, A We'l Known Citizen of Wilson N.

CONSISTENCY THOU ART A JEWEL!" Ma. EDITOR :—Several years ago I occupied a house from my bedroom in which, I could lie and see on our neat and tasty little Episcopal chapel, clearly defined against the bright blue sky of early spring, that holy emblem of all Christianity, the Cross. I shall never forget the half-dreamy, sweet, poetic feeling that stole over me, while lying in bed that beautiful spring morning, with the win dows open and the soft balmy air floating through the room, the joyous caroling of the birds, and the low, sweet, sad chime of the Episcopal bell, tolled by no hired sexton, but by the loving hands of the faithful pastor, summoning to Lenten ser vices his little flock. It made a picture in my mind that memory will recall. I thought of my past life, of my present, of my future, of the gay world, so sad; of life, so sweet and so bitter; I thought, too, of glory, and fortune, and power; and wondered if, after all, that solitary soul wor shipping his God so joyously and faithfully in the midst of poverty and discouragement, in a strange land, amongst strange people, surrounded by no sympathizing friends, was not, may be, the hap piest man in the place; sure , y such a man must, in his soul, have "the t blessed peace which passeth all understanding." Noble, modest, unostentatious follower of the lowly Jesus, as long as we worldly men have one such as you amongst us we refuse to give up our faith in a genuine Christianity.— With no rich. fashionable congregation, no clique of weak, flattering, smirking hypocrites, ("sheep go in flocks"), who scatter roses in his path and praise his every action and utterance, whether such action or utterance has sense in it er not; with no board of influential Trustees to stand be tween him and the rough, criticising, bard-work ing bread winners ; these are too tender plants, too sensitive to move out, in and amongst suffer ing, struggling humanity, rough contact might wound their delicate sensibilities; hot house plants, they must be kept with weak men and strong minded women, their fitting prototypes, and with whom they feel most at home. Unlike these, Mr. Meade does not, in times of safety, preach for ef fect ; that his calling is one of the saddest and most responsible one in all the professions, that their place is by the side of the physician, their twin-brother, at the bed-side of the sick and the dying, yea even more responsible and necessary than the physician, whose duty is merely to save the body, whilst theirs is ‘ to save the immortal soul ; unlike them when the hour of danger and duty came, he did not cowardly shirk his duty and belie his profession, but taking the same precau tions that physicians did to prevent the spread of the small pox. and praying God to help him, he went like a man and a Christian to the bed-side of dying Mrs. Kelley, and facing death in its most loathsome form, knelt by the bed-side of that poor old woman and asked his God and her God that He would bless her and crown her, and assuring her that in a few short hours here would be a crown of glory and sunshine, and brightness, and love, "such as eye bath rot seen nor ear heard, neither bath it entered into the heart of man the things which God loath prepared for them that love him." How precious those words must have been to that poor,deserted old woman ; surely there were angels in that lowly room with that kneeling pastor and that dying woman. The day for men who have light heads, and whose only gift is that of gab has passed away, not only in the political world, but also in the re ligious world ; the printing-press and the common schools have educated people to think for them selves, and woe to the poor fool who hopes to climb into power and ease by well-rounded sentences, loud professions, and flowery nonsense. He may succe I for a time, but when the time comes to test the sincerity of his prof. 'Mons, and he is weighed and found wanting, hie honeyed words and clap trap oratory will amount to nothing; he may as well leave, his day for doing good is gone by, in that community at least. What comes from the pulpit is no longer swallowed verbatim of litcratini. Mr. Preacher, don't make the mistake of supposing working people do not think, and draw the line between profession and practice. Never were you more mistaken. They are better judges of you than you are of them ; their wits have been sharpened by hard contact with their fellow men in the great fight for bread, and they are not slow in putting a proper estimate on a man's sincerity and his ability. Kings are no longer anything but mere puppets and figure-heads for the people, preachers ditto for congregations, and it will not be long till both will be dispensed with as useless and expensive ornaments, and we will look back and wonder why we ever bothered with them. Our government is the best in the world, the people run it, do their own thinking. and have no King. The Quakere,the Dunkarda and the Omish men have no salaried preachers, and every one knows they live more like Christ has taught us to 1 ve than any other sect. Their very faces indicate the calm, happy, peaceful lives they lead. Go ask any candid business man who, as a class, he would rather trust, a ranting Methodist, a Thank-God we-are-not-as other-men-are" Presbyterian, a priest-ridden Catholic, a frozen Baptigt, a slow going Lutheran or German Reformed, or ii Quaker, a Dunkard, or an Ottlihman, and my word for it the Dunkard, the Quaker and the Omiehman will win all the time. These preachers live on flattery and notoriety, and love it as bee does honey, and won't go where it is not to be r. ad; they can t keep quiet, they must be either in print or making fouiish, sensational, or nonsensical remarks from their pul pits, the last place in God's world for any nonsense to come from. To see a modern pastor adjust hie immaculate piccadilly collar, button his neat-fitting Chesterfield frock, and taking a gentle sup of water, hen striking a graceful attitude, and in true theatrical style read out the hymn, I would not live e.lway, I ask not to stay," and than lan guidly sinking back into his soft velvet cushioned $2000.00 chair, with a delicately perfumed cambric handkerchief gracefully, and with a due regard to effect, placed sadly and tearfully (?) over his eyes, as if mourning that the time when he was to enjoy those treasures laid up in Heaven was too far off to even think of without weeping, when the con gregation join in this screaming farce, it causes one to smile out loud when he thinks how they all "dusted" for safe quarters, at the first bugle. blast of old small-pox, ready to take them off at once, nut only offering them first-class facilities for leaving, but to leave as they always professed they wanted to go, while doing their duty io the poor and the dying. This is a practical age, and we don't want any sentimental nonsense to die by. If the picture, typical of the great hope of the Christian world, represented by a rock surmounted by the cross, firmly planted in an angry sea, with a score of poor, dying men, women and children clambering out of the devouring waves to the cross for safety, if our religion is represented by this cross, no better illustration of modern Christianity could be had than to imagine thatc•oss to be made of flowers, and the preacher back of it in the midst of the howling tempest, and calling to the poor drowning wretches around him, "Be of good cheer, it is 1, be not afraid, cling to the cross, it is your only hope." Alas ! I think I can hear the smoth ered curse of the lost man when he clutches the cross, and falls back with a handful of flowers into the black abys-. Away with your pretty senti mental religion. Flowers are a mockery to dying men. Give us a good, plain, solid Iron Cross on our Rock of Ages, plain, practical and something to tie to in time of a storm; give us the religion of the Rev. Meade. For every calamity God sends us, some shallow pated, canting fools endeavor, in the name of re ligion, to analyze God's object in punishing us, always suggesting some cause that does not reflect on themselves. It is but fair that worldly men should once in * life-time, at least, if not ones a week, have an opportunity of expressing their opinions. Worldly men here are of the opinion that the small-pox has been sent on the people of Huntingdon as a punishment for the fearful amount of Sghting and tom-foolery generally that has been carried on for the last three years in the name of religion. A LOOKER—ON. RIDDLE STILL ON THE WAR-PATH. MR. EDITOR - -I see by the paper. of last week that Mr. Riddle has take;, a fancy to publish a private correspondence between myself and him, fur what purpose I cannot imagine unless it be to give to each of us a notoriety for which I am by no means ambitions, but which he seems to court with an enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and which cannot, it seems, be gratified with anything short of about five columns of the town papers ev ery week. Now, I have no objection to this harm less kind of amusement, and if the use of my name will afford him any additional gratification he is quite welcome to it, but I have a word more to say on the subject, in justice to myself, which, with your permission I now propose doing. As the author of the articles over the signature of "Citizen," I have not the slightest desire for concealment, and have no apology, further than what has already been offered I simply did what I considered my duty as a citizen,and am happy to know that in the performance of that duty I have received the approbation of my fellow-citizens, ir respective of sect, party, sex or condition, while Mr. Riddle is entirely welcome to all the credit he has gained by the course he has been pursuing. As to the "authority" which he demands, I do not recognize his authority to demand it, although he could have had it by applying personally to me, in the presence of any reliable party, and that without resorting to anything that was low, mean or sneaking. The parties were ready to be quali fied to the truth of the assertions, and will be whenever the public good or individual safety can be sabserved by so doing. But if facts so notori ous have so far escaped his observation, it argues about as unpardonable as amount of ignorance and stupidity as is warranted by his assertion that all intected persons were excluded from his church, while persons belonging to infected families, and right from infected houses, were at the same time occupyiny seats along with the rest of the congrega tion. Mr. Riddle's observation seems to be Come what dull, and his memory is evidently treacher ous, as is evidenced by the fact that he is now go ing round amongst his members trying to ascer tain what he really did say on certain occasions. Another evidence is afforded in his repeated at tempts to explain away the Wilcox matter, on which he seems to be particularly sensitive. He says now that `•even then there was no little alarm," and that his duty to others prevented hid) from going to see him. Pray, tell us, Mr. Riddle, w s the duty you owed to others paramount to that which you owed to a dying man, imploring spiritual consolation ? Was not the soul of poor Wilcox as valuable as that of others; and accord ing to your doctrine, could you not have trusted yourself in this calamity, when in theperforrnanoe of that duty ? He says he did not cease to preach till the church was looked by the Chief-of-Police. W ill he have the goodness to tell us if he did not agree to quit before that, and afterwards go back on his promise to the Chief-of-Police, thus subject log him to the unpleasant duty of closing it? How is it about that key, Mr. Riddle? There is evi dently a screw loose there. As to our church I am not prepared to say whether those persons he mentions attended it or not. I never said they did not; but I am well aware that they did attend other churches, his own included, after others had closed, however oblivi ous he may be, or seem to be to the fact. But the churches are re-opened by an ordinance of the Town Council, and Mr. Riddle will no doubt feel more at ease. Our citizens have endured the privation of some three or four weeks absence from divine worship, and survived the infliction of Mr. Riddle's articles. It has afforded him an op portunity of distinguishing himself, and he has learned that for every Haman there is at least one Mordecai. He can now afford to cease from abus ing and misrepresenting our citizens and cursing the Borough authorities, and turn his attention to his legitimate calling, that of preaching the gos pel, in which I have no doubt he will find his cer vices much more acceptable as well as profitable to himself and others.
