One little Miss in West Huntingdon corn
plains that she only received seven valentines
on St. Valentine's day, while the same day
last year she received a dozen. With the de

ville, Pa., and will enter on his duties in his
new field of labor on the Ist pros.
Our jobbing department has been crowded
with orders for a week or two past, which
goes to show that people know wh-re to get
good work at hard-pan prices. Send along
your orders, and we will fill them promptly
and in the highest style of the art.
The Local News need give itself no trouble,
so far as the JOURNAL is concerned, about being
•crushed." We are not in that business, and
when the editor charges this paper with
"combining" to injure it, he utters an untruth,
and we believe he does so knowingly.
A compositor mixed up things wonderfully,
last week, when he was putting in type thl
marriage notice of Mr. W. W. Heiner to Miss
Mettle K. Grove ; however, we hope the error
of the printer did not in the least interfere
with the pleasures incident on such occasions.
A mare belonging to Mr. Wm. Stokes, of
Altoona, while being driven over a railroad
crossing, in that city, the other day, caught
one of her front feet between a plank and the
railroad track and in her efforts to extricate
herself, tore almost the entire hoof from her
foot.
The new style of spring hat for women won't
have any back or front. It will be a slip of
pasteboard trimmed with all the flowers and
lace her husband can afford, and fastened to
her ears by hinges, so that she can flop it
back or forward, to meet any variations iu the
style.
Our friend, J. W. Geissinger, who purposes
moving west in the spring, will sell his per
sonal property, at public outcry, two miles
from Grafton, on the 12th day of March next.
lie is a very clever gentleman, and we are sor
ry to know that he will leave us in the near
future.
The Harrisburg Patriot came to us the other
day dressed in a shining new snit, and looking
as pretty as a picture. It is a live newspaper,
and deserves a more liberal support than it
now receives from the Democrats throughout
the State. It can be had at the JOURNAL Store
every morning.
On Friday afternoon last our old friend, Mr.
Wm. Long made an assignment of his property
for the benefit of his creditors, and selected
Geo. B. Orlady, esq., as his assignee. We un
derstand that his liabilities foot up some
$12,000. We sympathize with our old friend
in his financial trouble.
"Bishop" A. J. Carney, a street preacher,
who has harrangued our people on several oc
casiotis, within the past two or three years,
and who is no doubt remembered by many of
them, committed suicide, in York, Pa., a few
days ago, by taking morphine. He was an
eccentric character, and a pretty hard nut.
Henry Krider, of Warriorsmark township,
whose death we announced last week, at the
ripe old age of 74 years, was a patron of the
JOURNAL for over a quarter of a century He
was one of our most useful citizens, and his
place will be hard to fill. He was a steadfast
Republican and an honest man. Peace to his
ashes.
"Does the Huntingdon Journal want to be
classed among the sensational papers."—Local
News. We don't care, you may class it where
you please, but of one thing you may rest as
sured, that neither "fear, favor nor affection"
will deter it from "speaking right out in
meetin'," and saying what it thinks ought to
be said.
Notwithstanding the fact that we last week
struck one hundred and fifty extra copies of
"the handsomest and best printed paper in
this region," they did not begin to meet the
demand, and were all gobbled up in an hour
atter the paper went upon the street. People
appreciate a good thing, hence the great pop
ularity of the JOURNAL.
A Philadelphia Judge recently rendered a
decision which has a local bearing. He gave
it as his legal opinion that no person has a
right to leave a horse or team standing in
the street without control of some kind, and
that when damage to person or property re
sult from such negligence, the owner of the
horse or team is liable for the damage.
"Pete" Herdic, of Williamsport, knuwn
throughout the State as a member of the
"third house" at Harrisburg, has failed for the
sum of $900,000. Mr. Herdic was considered
amongst the wealthiest men in the Stale, and
his failure will be a heavy stroke to the man
ufacturing interests of Williamsport, in all
kinds of which he had large sums invested.
John Brennan, alias "The Reb," was ar
rested at Houtzdale, Clearfield county, on
Friday last. He formerly lived in Tuscarora,
Schuylkill county, and was concerned in the
murder of Patrick Burns, at that place, eight
years ago. tie is said to have furnished the
pistols to the parties who did the shooting.—
He makes the third man arrested for this
murder.
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JorRN&L exceeds that of any
other paper iu 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. If you want to get
the worth of your money avail yourselves of
the superior facilities offered by the use of its
columns. tf.
Rev. John a llroc n, a native of this county,
and well and favorable known to most of our
readers, died at his resi :mice, in Harrisburg..
at 3 o'clock, on Sunday morning last, from
the third stroke of paralysis. Mr Brown had
spent 11 rears as a missionary in India, and
o ly relinquished his labors there on account
iif failing health. He was a man or great piety,
and a hard worker in the cause of the Master.
He leaves a wife and sevetal children to mourn
his death. His remains were interred at Har
risburg, on Wednesday last, the funeral ser
vices haviii heel' held a' the lge Avenue
M. E. church. l'e:tee to his ashes.
We learn with regret that our esteeme l fel
low citizen, Dr. J. F. Thompson, of Three
Springs, is about to locate at Liverpool, in
Perry coun y. The Doctor has bee. an active
man. in this county, for many years, and will
leave beirind hint a host of friends who wily
re_ret his determination to seek a new field
for iris talents and skill, bu while we lose a
g rod, jovial companion and an excellent cit
izen, the citizens of Perry county can con
gratulate themselves on having secured the
same good qualities, and the location in their"
midst of a first-class physician. Our string is
always out, Doctor. Be sure to drop in when
you come this way.
A bill has been presented to the house, at
Harrisburg, and reported f vorably by the
committee ou agriculture, which provides that
the citizens of any township representing at
least two-thirds in value of the taxable
property of the township, may request the
road sup rvisors to give ont at pulel c outcry,
to the lowest and best bidder, the making and
repairing of the public roads of the town-hip
for a term of three years. Where there are
not more than twenty miles of road, the whole
should be sold in one lot ; when over twenty,
in two lots. All new roads shall be let in the
same way, with the opening and keeping of
them in repair until the next letting.
On Monday night of last week an unsuccess
ful attempt was made to fire the residence of
Mrs. Johnson, in Shirleysburg. The fiend
gained admission to the house through a
window leading into the hall, when the carpet
was saturated with coal oil and a fire kindled
et the foot and at the top of the stairs leading
to the second story of the building, but for
some cause the fire soon extinguished itself,
after having burned a blanket that was hang
ing on the balusters and the carpet upon
which the oil had been poured. This wicked
attempt at incendiarism was not discovered
until the next morning. Had the attempt
proved successful the probabilities are that
the inmates of the house would have perished
in the flames. It is supposed that this at
tempted fire comes from a different source and
Object than the other fires that have occurred
in that town. We do hope that the fiend may
be apprehended and punished to the full ex
tent of the law,
PENNSYLVANIA VACCINE FARM.—As
the name of Dr. B. Rush Senseney, the fonu
der of this institution, has became familiar to
the readers of the JOURNAL by his learned con
tributions to our columns during the preva
lence of small pox in our midst, and believing
that a full description of the modua operandi of
obtaining bovine vaccine matter will be of in
terest to the general public, we take pleasure
in giving place to the following description of
the farm and its workings :
This institution, the first one on a large
scale in America is located in the beautiful
Cumberland Valley, one mile from the city of
Chanibersburg. Toe proprietor, Dr. B. Rush
Senseney, established it in 1874, since which
time he has perfected it in many of its arrange
ments. It has been for years a recognized
tact that such an institution was demandad,
and for several reasons both plain and patent.
First, that physicians might have at their
command at all seasons a depot of supply for
a fresh and reliable Vaccine, and in any quan
tity desired, thus in times of "scares" from
small-pox, doing away with the frequent Vac
cine panics to which so many communities in
this country have from time to time been sub.
jected. Anot:ier and cogent reason : For some
years the belief has been gaining ground and
adherents among the most distinguished med
ical men both in Europe and this country, that
the system of arm to arm vaccination was fast
losing its efficacy as a prophylactic in Variola,
and this from the innumerable transmissions
of the virus human to human, and the lack of
care in the choice of vaccinifers from which
the stock of humanized Vaccine was propaga
ted and supplied.
Another and most forcible argument among
scientific men and general practitioners is the
now pretty well established fact that diseases
uf a syphilitic character have been and are
be engrafted into the human by the act of
vaccination with impure humanized Vaccine.
This one fact alone is sufficient to justify
and ensure the success of the institution nam
ed.
In 1874, Dr. B. Rush Senseney secured a
stock of Animal Vaccine from France. His
source of supply was from the celebrated case
of spontaneous Vaccine or Cow Pox which oc
curred among a herd of cattle on the estate of
the Marquis of Beaugency, on the Loire. Since
that time, Dr. Senseney has perpetuated this
spontaneous Cow Pox through an unbroken
series of many hundreds of young heifers—it
never having passed through the human sub
ject. Hence his Virus is of the pure Beaugency
strain, and may be relied upon. The method
of propagating this Virus is as follows : Dr.
Senseney uses a strain of full Alderny or grade
heifers they being preferred because of the
thinness and delicacy of their skin, thus al
lowing and favoring a better maturation of the
Vaccine Vesicles. The animals are stabled in
large, warm and well ventiladed barns, in
which, during very cold weather a fire is kept,
warmth favoring vesiculation.
When an animal is to be operated upon it is
taken to the operating room—thrown upon a
cushioned rack, and secured upon its back by
a large strap passed around the body—each
limb being securely fastened to an upright
post. It is then well washed around the re
gion of the udder, and the hair shaved there
from. It is then inoculated with Beaugency
Virus in ten or a dozen places.
Dr. Senseney propagates this Vaccine, and
furnishes it in four different forms : Crusts,
Quills, Ivory Points and Lymph Tubes.
If Crusts are desired, the heifer is carefully
secured in a warm stall, is well fed and kept
constantly supplied with clean litter for from
15 to 18 days, when the Crusts are removed.
When Lymph is desired the vesicles are
pricked open on the 7th day, and the Quills
and Ivory Points are charged with fluid lymph
and are then placed upon racks to dry. Lymph
Tubes are small glass tubes—very fine and del
icate— which are filled with the fluid lymph,acd
the ends then sealed hermetically. The Quill is
charged upon its convex surface at the square
cut end by dipping it in the lymph and turn
ing it round. The lymph is not therefore, in
the inside as many suppose, but is on the outer
surface and nearly transparent. The ivory
points are charged by dipping them into the
Virus, mica after the manner of an Indian.
charging his poisoned arrow.
Of the various forms of Animal Vaccine,
Quills and Ivory Points are the most reliable.
Dr. Senseney ships this Virus to many very dis
tan t parts of the world. Lately has been sending
it to the Sandwhich Islands, to the Japan Dis
pensary at Yokohama, and to Hong Kong.
China. His quills will bear shipment to any
part of the world, when properly packed, and
still retain their efficacy. It has been a point
with Dr. Senseney to place this vaccine within
the reach of every physician as regards price.
Whilst other propagators charge 50 cents fur
each Quill, or 25 cents per Quill slip, Dr. S.
charges but 20 cents each per whole Quill (5
for $1) which makes the price of Quill slips
but 10 cents each (10 for $1). His ivory points
are large and double charged, and his price is
but $1.50 per dozen.
Dr. Walton, Cin. Clinic, summarizes at the
close of an article on Animal vs. Human Lymph
as follows :
I—lt is certain that humanized virus pro
cures immunity from small pox for a number
of years.
2—lt is very certain that humanized virus
may convey syphilis.
3—lt is possible that humanized virus may
Convey other diseases.
4—lt is probable that humanized virus de
generates.
s—lt is certain that many persons oppcse
humanized vaccination.
6—lt would not be right to compel vaccin
ation with humanized virus.
I—lt is certain that bovine virus procures
immunity from small pox for a number of
years.
2—lt is certain that bovine vitas cannot
convey syphilis.
3-1 t is not probable that bovine lymph
conveys any disease.
4—lt is not probable that bovine virus de
generates.
s—lt is certain that very few persons will
oppose bovine vaccination.
G—lt would be right to compel vaccination
with bovine virus.
A MALICIOUS TRICK.—OR last Fr;day
morning some person not having the maxims
of the 'Golden Rule" in his heart sent a
dispatch, or wLat appeared to be a dispatch
(for it did not go over the wires), to Mr. Mc-
Gowan of Shade Gap, that one of his sons bad
got terribly mangled with the cars, at Roberts
dale and wishing to know whether Mr. M.
would procure the coffin, or whether they
would procure one at Robertsdale and forward
the remains to Orbisonia.
The receipt of this dispatch by the family,
as may be suppose , caused much sorrow, for
the family bad no reason to doubt its genuine
ne-s, and of course made preparations for the
funeral. Mr. M. sent to this place to order
the coffin, in , we believe, had ordered the
trimming, therefor, before it was found out
that the dispatch was a forg, ry, and their son
was still in this world and in the enjoyment of
his usual health.
Who perpetrated this fiendish trick or what
prompted him to it is not known. It may
have been for the purpose of frightening the
son, who, we unierstind is in the habit of
jumping on and off 'rains in motion,
and who on this particul ir morning had
attempted as usual, hut had missed his hold,
and been thrown to the ground lighting on
his back, but receiving no injury. Whatever
may have prompted the sender, it was a
criminal, and we believe punishable offense,
and if he perpetrator could be discovered he
should he well punished. We will -uppose,
for instance, some of Mr. M.'s family might
have been sick, what would probably have
been the effect of such a shock, as the receipt
of this dispatch would give? We leave it to
the conscience—if he ha any—of the sender
to answer.—Orbisonia Leader, 14th inst.
HUNTINGDON' Es —"Ye ancient imr
ongh" of Huntingdon hasn't been so lively or
as much waked up for a long time as it is at
present over the small-pox question in its
midst. The presence of the disease, to a some
wuat alarming extent, and tlie means used to
prevent its spread and ravages, have given
rise to very learned discussions as to consti
tutional law ; the rights of the citizens ; the
power and authority of the "borough dads" to
suppress gatherings of all kinds, and to close
churches, etc., which has been largely indulged
in by the clergy, doctors, lawyers and laity.
The questions involved have not yet been
definitely settled by the fluntingdoners, nor
are they likely to be until the small-pox is
entirely abated and eradicated, which seems
to be gradually being accomplished. It is
very remarkable that thg good, easygoing
and Christian people of iciuntingdon can't
even have a few cases of small-pox among
them without fighting over it. The same
spirit of enterprise manifested in their ordi
nary business interests and parsuits would so
start up "ye ancient borough" with new life
that in a year or two it would scarcely know
itself, and forget tbat it ever had the small
pox. We are glad to note that as the acri—
monious discussion and agitation as to great
rights increases the smal;-pox neereases,• and
indications are that the disease is now under
perfect' restraint and control, and will be
confined to the present cases and persons
afflicted.—Bellefonte Republican. ••

THE HUNTINGDON PRINTING BILL.—
The bill repealing the act by which all the
county printing, including blanks, was exe
cuted at the Journal, Monitor and Globe offices,
has aroused considerable indignation in the
first two papers, both of which charge Port
and Dew,!es with duplicity. The great trouble
in all cases of this kind seems to be that
publishers entrenched behind such a law take
advantage of it and charge extreme prices.—
The fault of such laws is that they place no
restriction upon charges. We have always
thought that a few sensible men could easily
draw up a general act just to printers, to
county commissioners and to the people.—
Such a one ought to make it imperative on
the commissioners of every county in the
State to contract with one of each of the lead
ing papers at rates not exceeding 50 cents per
inch for each insertion, and leave them free
to advertise in other papers if they deemed it
necessary for public information, and to whom
they might say we will give you so much for
publishing this or that advertisement. If. as
sometimes might happen, a third paper was
equal or nearly equal in circulation to the
others, the commissioners would be at liberty
to advertise in it. Again, we would confine
this price to papers having from 1000 to 2000
circulation : from 2000 to 4000 the price might
be increased to 75 cents ; and above that to
$l.OO per inch, with a proviso that if the two
party papers refused to do it at the rate fixed,
then leave the commissioners free to act.
All the special acts we know of have failed.
It was tried in Juniata, overdone, and was re
pealed. The same act was enacted for Hunt
ingdon, and will now probably fail.
How little such matters seem to be under
stood by legislators may be instanced by an
act passed last winter relative to advertising
mercantile appraisers lists. Before that it
hardly ever reached $4O in two papers in this
county—about $l7 it amounted to when last
published in the Gazette—and now by refer
ence to the auditors' settlement it will be seen
that the charge of the Demov at and Sentinel
under that law was $92. The old act it is
true was low, ten cents for each name, bnt
there was neither sense nor reason in increas
ing it to about 25 cents a line. It is true,
publishers of newspapers, such as they are
compelled to put out at county seats, make
nothing above a living, and some hardly do
that. From twenty to thirty years ago we
printed the Gazette at about the same cost, in
cluding paper and labor, we now pay in cash
to the hands in our office alone; while our
paper bills and other expenses are more than
doubled. At that time we realized something
out of subscriptions ; now it takes from $5OO
to $6OO a year of the proceeds of advertising
and job work in addition to all subscriptions
to pay our expenses.
Many advantages too formerly enjoyed are
no longer available. National and State pa
tronage is completely monopolized by a few ;
politicians in the main no longer regard the
interests of their county papers as they ought
to, paying even most moderate bills with re
luctance, and now and then some one is mean
enough not to pay at all ; while every little
village must have its newspaper, in nine cases
out of ten conducted without ability and bar
ren of news, and really of no advantage to any
community. One good however has been ef
fected by these innovations ;
it has made county
papers controlled by actual owners indepen
dent of clique and politicians generally, and
left them free to speak where silence was
formerly enforced or at least an act of discre
tion.
The above candid reflections upon the ques
tion of county printing we clip from that able
and highly conservative paper the Lewistown
Gazette. We have frequently advocated the
passage of a law containing such features as
it suggests, but the many conflicting interests
at stake invariably bring all efforts tending in
this direction to naught. The bill authorizing
regular prices for the Mercantile Appraiser's
List was got up by the late Senator from
Mercer, who was a practical printer, and we
think it about right. The State ought to pay
as much as individuals.
THE TREE PEDDLER —There is no
greater humbug practiced upon the credulity
of the people than the offering of new fruits
by tree agents and nurserymen, as the last
thing that was ever discovered or planted.
Nineteen out of every twenty of all these new
fruits are entirely worthless. One nursery
man has an apple that is superior to all others,
another a pear that no one can do without,
free from blight and an immense bearer and
the fruit of finest quality. Another has a
currant, a strawberry, or a raspberry, all
entirely indispensable to the unsuspecting
farmer. And still others have grapes that
ripen early, and are very large, delicious, and
just the thing to supplant all others for all
purposes. One has a cherry that will take the
place of the early Richmond and the English
Morello. All these will do well, according to
the opinions of the several owners of the
humbug, in any and all climates and localities,
like the patent medicines warranted to cure
any and all diseases. One man, whose almost
exclusive stock of evergreens is the European
larch, recommends its planting without limit.
Another has supplied him.elf abundantly with
the Utah hybrid cherry, which is really not a
cherry at all, but a very inferior small plum,
and that is the cherry that everybody must
have. Our common wild plums are trans
planted and nursed, and a large stock propa
gated—some significent name given them, and
they are then heralded to the world as indis
pensable, high quality, large size, curculio
proof, and indeed possessed with more goad
qualities than any and all other plums corn
bleed. The result of all this is, the farmers
pay out thousands of dollars every year for
stock that is not only worthless and known to
be worthless by the venders, but important
time is lost in waiting for the results that are
so boastingly promised, and only, after several
years waiting, to find how they have been
swindled.
IMPORTANT TO ECIIANICS.—A m.w
Mechanics' Lien law has been approved by the
House Committee at Harrisburg, and it is said
will pass the Legislature at this session. It
reads as follois s :

EDITOR OF JOURNAL :-Duriug the prevalence
of the stuall-pox in this place, we lost two of
our children ; Marc, aged 14 years, and Reese,
aged 11 years. When our daughter die ;, I
sent for the Rev. Mr. Hui:ter, Pbstor of the

promptly complied with my request. Some
days after, our son died with the same disease.

he would at,end, which he did.

TUESDAY'S ELECTION.
The Greenbackers Sweep the Field.
The election in this place, on Tuesday last,
resulted in the success of the Labor Reform
and Greenback ticket, except the two consta
bles, the nominees on the "Citizens'" ticket
for these offices having been successful. The
Labor Reformers entered the contest with a
ticket composed of good men, and from the
night that it was nominated they all worked
diligently for its success at the polls. The
"Citizens'" ticket was also composed of good
men, but the manner of its nomination did not
meet with favor with a majority of those out-
side the Reform party. If a town meeting had
been called, and candidates nominated, irre_
spective of party, instead of a dozen or so
persons getting together and "setting up" a
ticket, the result would have been different.
Many voters refused to go to the polls, for the
reason as they alleged, that they knew nothing
of the manner in which the ticket they were
expected to support was nominated. llowev
er, the gentlemen elected are all good citizens,
and we have no doubt will discharge their du
ties to the satisfaction of all.

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
flected is 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.
A CERTAIN HEADACHE CURE.—If you suffer
from sick or nervous headache, morning sick
ness or neuralgia, go to your druggist and get
a ten cent trial pack of Dr. Heisley's Victor
Headache Powders, or J. R Heisley & Co.,
Salem, N. J., will mail them post paid. A sin
gle powder actually cures the most distress
ing cases in ten minutes. It is purely vege
table, entirely harmless, a physician's discov
ery and we guarantee it to do all we claim.
You can get the 50 cent packs or the 10 cent
trial size at J. H. Black & Co. in Huntingdon,
and at all other first-class druggists every
where. Convince yourself. Dan 26- ly

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
PHILADELPHIA, February 14th, 1878
EDITORS OP TUB HUNTINGQON JOURNAL—Gen
amen :—Having had occasion to visit one of the
permanent business men of your town, (in a pro
fessional capacity), some time ago, I had, through
his kindness, an opportunity afforded me of calling
upon, and examining several of your townsmen
afflicted with that moat loathsome of all diseases,
small-pox, and at his urgent request I have :at
length consented to write an article for publica
tion in the JOURNAL, setting forth a few plain,
practical thoughts on the disease, its nature, treat
ment, quarantine regulations, etc., as they suggest
ed themselves to me on the occasion of my recent
visit. In assaying to du this, however, Mr. Edi
tors, lam not unmindful of the fact that very
many articles of expansive length and matchless
ability have, from time to tine, appeared in the
columns of your local paper on tnis subject .I am
also aware of the debilitating and bilious tenden
cy of these lengthy doses of medicine, police and
theology when mixed together and given for small
pox, and for this reason, I feel no little delicacy
in being the one to again agitate the question;
but as I feel a sense of duty in the premises, I
trust the innovation will be pardoned by both Ed
itor and reader, and that all will give me a pa
tient hearing while, is a general way, I make
some suggestions touching the effective treatment
of this most dreadful malady. At the present
time, however, all this may seem unneces
sary as the disease is rapidly abating in your
midst, if it has not already entirely disappeared.
Your churches and schools have been re-opened;
the borough ordinance which threatened to destroy
your liberties has been repealed; the country peo
pie, under the pressure of restored confidence, again
perambulate your streets ; your Hospital--backed
by the Borough treasury—alone holds out against
the skill of your physicians, and you are happy,
vainly imagining that the scourge has left you,
and that the danger .is past—but in the light of
science I tell you nay. The professional man views
the situation in no such light. To his experienced
eye, the disease you think dead is only sleeping,
which a heavy hoar frost even may at any time
call forth to deeds of death, and for this reason he
views the present with uncertainty, and the future
with dread, not knowing—in this palmy season of
buckwheat cakes and sausage—what moment the
subtle Variola poison may manifest itself in an
aggravated case of itch, whiCtr, with each succeed
ing polar wave, may successively evolute itself
from itch to measles, from measles to chicked-pox,
thence via. swine-pox, Ic., to the fell destroyer in
his loathsome confluent and umbilicated forms
but, to proceed. The danger becomes more
palpable at every step. On the same principle and
impelled by the same atmospheric change we have
gripes suddenly and rapidly evoluted to the stom
ach ache, and heaves to scratches, cholera runs
into sweeny, while dysentery in unfavorable weath
er is liable eventually to become a small-pox
scourge. Now this, briefly, is the situation. It
must be evident to every thinking mind that
prompt, decisive action alone can save the health
of your community from irretrievable ruin.
What is the remedy ? Medicines are of no use.
Disinfectants amount to nothing; Vaccination,
even, is of no avail. The new system of evoluting
diseases sets at defiance the protective properties
of them all. Then, again, the treatment, and mode
of procedure in such cases has of late years
undergone as many changes, perhaps, as the dis
ease in its evolutions now assumes forme, and in
many instances the treatment, fur obvious reasons,
is peculiar to the locality in which the disease ex
ists. No definite rule of action could, therefore,
be properly or truthfully prescribed. The follow
ing suggestions, however, if rigidly enforced will,
in the generality of cases, I think, prove effective:
Whenever a case of sickness occurs in your
midst, say, for instance, a youth even to exhibit
unmistakable symptoms of the mumps, or some
other equally contageous disease, do not hesitate
to call in your family physician immediately, and
have him take a diagnosis of the case at once. The
physician should then assemble h s fellow-practi
tioners in consultation, and if any one should dis
sent from the universal opinion that the disease is
mumps, subject, however, to evolution and cold, a
newspaper should be resorted to and the views of
the physicians, for the succeeding three or four
weeks, be thoroughly ventilated, pro. and con. In
the meantime, and until some concluson is arrived
at, it would be unnecessary to quarantine the house
where the disease exists, as it would be advisable
to wait and know what disease you are going ;.4)
quarantine. Care should also be taken that no
persons, save the neighbors and the immediate cir
cle of the patient's friends, with their children,
should be admitted to his presence in the interim.
After all these nece:sary precautions have been
taken, should the disease begin to evolute and
spread a little, resort might be had, with propriety,
to the Burgess and Town Council,a Board of Health
should be immediately organized, and rigid quar
antine measures enforced. A Hospital might also
be a proper thing at this time, where any and all
persons afflicted with diseases, liable to evolute,
might be placed at the public expense. Ordinan
ces closing churches, schools. to., should also be
passed, but when this is done, the Chief-of-Police,
to insure compliance with the law, should inatn. di
ately take such steps as would ensure the closing
of churches and all other dangerous places, while
parents should give especial instructions to their
children not to run against nurses and infected
persons on the streets. These, with a few other
sanitary measures will, in a reasonable length of
time, stay to some extent the ravages of the dis
ease. Run on the evolution system, however, it is
liable to re-appear at any moment. Should this
occur counter irritants should be used and to this
end a special meeting of councils should be imme
diately convened, and it!l ordinances absolutely
repealed. This treatment, with a general news
paper discussion as to its effectiveness, will gener
ally keep the death list, in a population of 4000,
somewhat under a score.
AN OLD PRACTITIONER.
EDITORS JOURNAL :—Being in Shirleysburg last
week we visited the Alms House, at that place,
and found our old friend, Jack Harmon, on hand
ready to receive us. We were taken into his sit
ting room, where we found Mrs. H. and her daugh
ters who received us with their usual pleasantnes-,
notwithstanding they have been quarantined near
ly ever since they have been here on account of
that unholy sending of that case of small-pox from
your town. We do think that a n officer who would
issue an order to take a man who had the small
pox to a place of this kind ought to surrender his
commission and never hold any more office. Too
much credit can not be given to Mr. Harmon for
the manner in which he has conducted this case,
coming as it did without a momenta warning, with
over one hundred inmates, of almost ail ages, from
the infant to the old, infirm and insane. We are
told that the case was scarcely there before word
was sept up to Mr. H. to keep the inmates from
the churches, Ac., and to cap the climax, the
council met and passed an ordinance that no per
son should come from the House to town, and that
s.tme person in town should carry up the news from
the post office and bring back anything that was
to come from there, and a police should be kept at
the gate to keep any one from going out or in.
This action of the council was after every person
knew that the building was strictly guarded, and
that no person was allowed to pass in or out of it.
and that it was some sixty feet from the main
building.
We were shown through the House, and we are
free to say that we have never saw this House in
better condition. the floors are clean, the bedding
clean and comfortable, the rooms have none of that
stench that we have been accustomed to when we
have visited this place on previous occasions; the
inmates are all comfortable; they have all went
through a washing process and some of them
think Harmon believes in immersion. When we
saw some of them we thought that they looked
pale, but was told they had only got back to their
natural color. Mr. H. tells us that thousands of
lives have been destroyed since he has been here.
We talked with one old man that told us that
thing, were very strict now, but, says he, "we have
plenty to eat, that the boss was on hand to see if
the grub was well got up. and it he round anything
wrong he soon gave the cooks their orders." Wa
were in the store house and found a good stock of
goods on hand, and at the prices we were told that
they were bought at we are satisfied they were
bought right, and we think that the tax-payers
can rest easy in regard to the management of the
alms-house this year. e think "Jack" is the
right man in the right place. Dr Baird tells us
that the general health of the inmates is unusually
good, and some of the oldest inmates say that they
were never in better health since they have been
here.
We unlerstand that the new Board of Directors
have an eve to business and t• ey intend cutting
off a good many little expenses. We hear of some
growling about the way things are done at the
Poor House, but we do not wonder at that. It is
said that au old calf is bard to wean and no won
der they bawl a little. Yours, 808.

DIED AT ALLENVILLE, MIFFLIN CO., JAN. 18, 1878.
Sit terra levis.
Ott when the day has faded in the west,
And quiet settled on the lonely street,
We lay our weary bodies down to rest,
But vainly cour sweet sleep. For fancies feet
Flit through our brains and tossed upon the sheet
We lung for slumber and we call it blest.
Thus when old age has cast its shadows round
We long for lasting sleep beneath a mound.
Such was the lot of one who, free from pain
11;insell, has left us. With a soul on fire
Thy free-horn spirit chafed against the chain,
That clay has cast around thee; Holy ire
Bath swelled thy bosom and a deep desire
'I o join the other world's seraphic strain.
Thy wish is granted and thy spirit free,
My only wish, ah ! soon to follow thee.
Freedom and death! To soar beneath the skies,
And to look down upon our twinkling star,
Where you have left venom and hate and lies
And crime, ambition, meanness ; from afar
To gaze on ruin, misery and war,
While drinking God's pure air thy spirit flies ;
Ah! must bs great indeed and worth the sting
Of Death'i grim arrow, worthy of a king.
We're lonely here. Who careth for old age,
Who of the busy, thoughtless, idle throng ?
They know him not ; an angel or a sage,
They rush him past, their sel.SaL course along;
Thou joinest in the spirit's rapturous throng
And angels now thy solitude assuage;
Aaci one received thee; at the golden door
There stood an angel-woman gone before.
When I had seen thy peaceful face, I thought,
I ne'er wojld paint Aeatlit's picture as the wild
Imaginings of northern nations taught.
Much truer Grecjan fancy has beguiled
Ile fear of mortal men: A sweet-faced child
With laughing eye we see is marble wrought
A flaming ioroh it holds, earthwards inclined;
Bat heavenwards ascend both flame and mind.

Hey yez come till yourself,ould Dennis me honey?

Before that yez bed all the shiners seoure.

But nicer a word do I dhrame about pelf;
Methinks I am flyin aloft widout wings,
Thin shure I am feelin as great as a king.
Thin whin I am full in me glory and pride,
Away o'er the house tops triumphantly ride,
Gist thi., ther's a ewimmin comes over me head
And, I give a great jump and light down in me bed.
Meself will interpret those notable dhrames :
We are seeking too much for poetical fame,
And whin we feel grandest our pride gets a fall,
And we're nothing but Dennis and Pat after all.
We may plod through the earth like a mole or a rat,
And who cares for Dennis or who cares for Pet?
But whin we are gone and the turf on our beds
Some one may an epitaph write on our heads.

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 Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters is a living and thriving remedy. It goes
on, curipg and to cure. Neither underhand nor
open competition affect it. On the contrary, con
trast its popularity. It has been repeatedly imi
tated, but without success. Counterfeits of it
have been surreptitiously introduced, but have
fallen flat. Everywhere it entrenches itself in the
confidence of the people ; and well it may, for it is
a thoroughly reliable invigorant of the feeble,
banishes dyspepsia and constipation, braces the
nerves, cures rheumatic ailments and kidney com
plaints and eradicates and prevents intermittent
and remittent fevers. [Jan4-I m.

him, leaving a widow and numerous friends
