Visiting marksmen didn't pan out well on the 22d ult. A cock fight amused some Altoona sports on the 22d ult. A new distillery is to be put in blast in Cambria county. A fall line of school books can be had at the JouaNAL Store. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon never in dulges in handkerchief flirtations. The law against fishing with nets is a dead letter in this locality. Why is this thus? Large numbers of suckers were taken from. the Juniata during the late rise in that stream Five car loads of emigrants, en route for Kansas, passed through this place on Tuesday evening last. Vice President W. A. Wheeler and wife passed through this place on Tuesday evening last on fast line west. Can't Huntingdon and Altoona wing -shots get up a friendly till at the glass balls ? What say you, gentlemen Howard Hess has been appointed postmaster at Cole's Summit, this county, if any person knows where that is. Forepaugh's circus and menagerie passed this place, on Tuesday night last, on a special train, en route for California As the time approaches. the contest for the Superintendency of the public schools of this county waxes warm and lively. At present the prospects for much building, in this place, during the coming season, look rather gloomy. More's the pity. Prof. J. Irvin White informs us that the public schools will be re-opened on Monday next, which will be quite soon enough. When a man wants to call a puppy, he whistles, but a girl just walks along with a handkerchief floating across her shoulder. Huntingdon marksmen should organize a rifle club. The material is here to make a crack team. Who will move in the matter ? Charley McHugh, a son of our neighbor, Ed. McHugh, esq., was bitten in the cheek by a dog on Sunday last, whilst fondling the animal. The contest for the postmastership at this place waxes warm. Eighteen hundred dollars a year is a nice sugar plum these panicky times. Our old friend, John Dougherty, esq., of Mt. Union, was a delegate, and attended the Greenback Convention, at Toledo, Ohio, last week. Don't allow the Normal School to be taken from this place, which will be done as sure as fate, unless our people move at once in the matter. "A stitch in time saves nine." A bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will often save large doctor bills. Keep it handy, for it only costs 25 cents. Messrs. C. C. North and J. H. Boring, of our town, were in attendance at the Convention of Greenbackers held at Toledo, Ohio, last week. Our townsman, Wm. P. Rudolph, esq., has been recalled to his clerical duties, at Altciona, since the eradication of the small-pox jrom our town. Remember that the JOURNAL Job Room turns out the handsomest, most attractive and cheapest Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf. The banks of the Juniata were lined by dip net fishermen during the latter part of last week, and the majority of them met with reasonably good luck. Two elks passed east over the P. It. It., on Sunday last, consigned to James Meadeville, New York They were shipped from the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens. A heavy rain storm prevailed in this section during Thursday night and the greater portion of Friday, causing the Juniata and its tribu taries to become considerably swollen. Four wild geese passed over this place, at a late hour, ou Thursday evening of last week. They were going in an easterly direction, and their peculiar "honk" was distinctly heard. The teachers who have been absent, visiting friends, since the closing of the schools in this place, have all returned, and are ready to go to work as soon as the schools are opened. Altoona is to have a horse .market, and we learn from the Tribune that one of her citizens, Mr. Amandus Sink, has purchased some fine Kentucky stock as a neuclus for the enter prise. Now that our town is entirely free from small-pox we trust that all our correspondents will call a halt upon that theme, which has been a very prolific one during the past month or two. Applications, by the score, are daily made for admission to the Huntingdon Normal School. Will this enterprise be permitted to go elsewhere for want of proper encourage ment ? Sale bills printed at this office, at very reasonable figures, and the sale inserted in the Joutme.t. for a trifling advance. Every one ought to advertise their sales in the news papers. tf. J. G. Geissinger, a student in the office of our friend, Dr. Robb, of this place, last week received his parchment from the Penna. Dental Ooliege, and he is now a full-fledged D. D. S. Success. Fifth street, in the neighborhood of the JOURNAL huilding,was again dug up this week. This time it was done to close a leak in the gas pipes, made during the building of the sewer last fall. We have just received an additional supply of "cuts" suitable for embellishing sale bills, and are better prepared than ever to do this kind of printing. Orders from a distance will receive prompt attention. tf. A few of our wing-shots met for practice, on the fair grounds, on Saturday afternoon last, and made the following score : T. C. Fisher, 14 ; W. W. Dorris, 13 ; T. W. Mvton, 11 ; F. W. Stewart, 9 ; L. B. Kline, 2 The Osceola Reveille has entered upon its fifth volume, and under the management of the Brisbin Bros. is one of the handsomest papers in the State, its general make-up indicating that the proprietors know how to do it. Five hundred bushels of coke, at the gas house, took fire on Saturday afternoon last, but by a plentiful application of water and the removal of the burning coke the fire was soon extinguished without doing much damage. Our young friend, Charley H. foyer, a stu dent in Dr. Robb's office, has just graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Sur gery. The Doctor is a promising young man, and we wish him any amount of success. Some of the children who were housed up, during the prevalence of the small-pox, were as frolicsome as kittens when they were per mitted to come g l ut and perambulate the streets. They enjoyed their freedom hugely. Our old friend, Mr. Isaac Lininger, who was one of the victims of small pox, and who has been housed several weeks in consequence, is out again, feeling vrry much rejoiced thereat. He says he don't want any more small pox in his'n. The Shirleysburg Herald has been purchased by Rev. J. A. McClay, of Three Springs, and the material removed to that place, where, we understand, the Reverend gentleman will soon commence the publication of a semi-monthly paper. The immortal "J. N." was in Altoona on Saturday last. It has been a number of years since he "lifted the veil" and "assumed the pressure" in our town, and we feel very much slighted at his giving us the go by on his re cent tour. The BOard of Trade and Enterprise will hold a public meeting at the Court House on Saturday evening next, to which everybody is invited. Some important matters will be dis cussed, and it is hoped that all of our citil;ens will be present. The wife of Rev. R. H. Fletcher, pastor of the Lock Haven Lutheran church, died in that place on Saturday last. Mr. Fletcher, some years ago, was pastor of the Lutheran church in this place, and the death of his wife will be heard with regret by many of her acquaintances here. We were pleased to meet our old friend, Capt. A. S. Harrison, on Penn street, on Wednesday morning last. The Captain has been confined to his room for a month or six weeks past from an attack of apoplexy. He looks considerably emaciated, but we are glad to know that be is slowly recuperating. A "Kissing Bee," is a Bedford county in stitution gotten up to swell the exchequers of financially embarrassed Sabbath 6chools.— Kisses are retailed by the girls at ten cents apiece, or three for a quarter. Our "Polly" says he would take a quarter's worth if he had to borrow or beg the necessary usufruct. A party of half grown urchins paraded our streets, on tie 22d ult., dressed in fantastic style, but as this thing is becoming stale their performance created neither amusement nor merriment for no one outside their own ranks, and from the flatness of the affair we are in clined to think that they had not much sport. At a late meeting of the school board the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the respective teachers be di rected to exclude from the schools, for the present, all scholars from families in which contagious diseases have prevailed, and that each of said families be furnished with a copy of this resolution. A bill to encourage the ,planting of trees along the roadside, has been reported favorably in the House. The idea is a suggestion of the State Agricultural society, and allows any person liable for road tax one dollar for every four trees transplanted along the roadside, the distance of such trees apart from fifty to seventy feet according to variety. Messrs. Dern & Pitcairn, and A. J. Greer, of the Altoona Tribune have been arrested and held to bail to answer the charge of [laving libeled some over sensitive individual in that bailiwick. A character that has to be made by a court and jury, as a general thing, is not worth very much. We hope that our brethren of the Tribune may have a safe deliverance. Joe Furey, of the Bellefonte Watchman, ran for school director at the late election, and this is what he says about it : "We ran for school director the other day, in the North ward. Eighty-nine gentlemen said they wanted us, but 159 fellows said they thought the other chap was the best man. So, to oblige them, we concluded not to insist upon the matter." "Gen." Billy Donn, who had been in the hospital, in this place, for several weeks past, was furnished with a suit of new clothes and shipped to the alms-house on Thursday of last week, much against his wishes. Our friend Harmon, the efficient Steward of that institu tion, will have some difficulty in detaining the "General," as be has decided views against living in the poor house. The delivery horse of o:ir Washington street merchant friend, J. R. Carmon, esq., was at tacked with inflammation of the bowels, on Sunday last, and died in the evening of that day, his disease baffling the skill of all the horse doctors in town. "Jim" was a faithful animal, and now that he rests from his labors, let us hope that be roams in pastures green within the confines of horse heaven. Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir culation of the JOURNkL 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. If you want to get the worth of your money avail yourselves of the superior facilities offered by the use of its columns. tf. A native of the "Flowery Kingdom," Mr. Ye Toy, who is engaged in the tea trade in the smoky city, spent a few hours in this place, on Saturday last, whither he had come by mistake. lie left Pittsburgh with the in tention of going to New Bedford, Mass., but in purchasing his ticket lie got one for Bedford, Pa., and discovering the mistake at this point he stopped off and waited for a western bound train which he boarded for his home. He seemed to be "vellee muchec" annoyed at his bad luck. • I few members of the "Hound and Hare Club," of this place, were out for a chase on Saturday last, and we are informed that one of them reports the starting of a buck rabbit that was so thin that it failed to make a shadow, but as it was in excellent running trim it made good time over the knobs of Piney Ridge. A valuable dog had just been purchased by one of the members, and the chase referred to was fir the purpose of testing the hunting qualities of the new purchase, and we believe they were entirely satisfactory. A week or two ago we stated, on the strength of information that we thought reliable, that our neighboring town of Everett was suffering from typhoid fever. The Frees of this week denies that any typhoid fever has existed in t4AI. village during the past fall and winter, a that only five deaths have occurred there during the past eight months. We are glad that this is the case, but we are sorry that our little squib should have so disturbed the temper of our contemporary as to cause him to appear as impatient as a stump-tail bovine in fly time. A shooting match, between three Blair county marksmen and a like number from Cambria county, came off, near Altoona, on Friday last, for a purse of $54.00. The purse was divided up in three prizes, of $3O, $l4 and $lO. The first prize was won by Marion M'Cartney, of Altoona, who made a two inch string ; the second by L. Rodgers, of Ebens burg, on a 3} inch string; and the third by George Mclntosh, of Blair, on a 3i inch string The Blair county marksmen shot seventy yards, off-hand e and the Cambrians one hundred yards at a rest. McVeytown Journal: A drover purchased a bull from one of the Harshbargers last week and attempted to drive him to Lewistown.— He drove well enough until he got about two miles from town, when he treed the drover and kept him there for about two hours, when his cries brought persons to the rescue, who drove his bullship away, after which he came to town and several men tried to put him into an enclosure, when he became very frolicsome and playfully tossed George Martin in the air, and raced the rest up a bill. He was finally secured in a lot where be stood "monarch of all he surveyed. A bill has been introduced in the Legisla ture to prevent drunkenness, making it the duty of any constable, police officer, town councilman, mayor, burgess, school director or supervisor upon their own knowledge, or upon information by any citizen, or any per son being in a state of intoxication, to arrest, or cause to be arrested and taken before any justice of the peace, who shall impose a fine of five dollars, one-half for the officer making the arrest and the justice as fees, and the balance for the school fund. Upon the failure to pay the fine the justice shall commit the delinquent to jail for thirty days. Any officer who shall neglect or refuse to act shall be fined not exceeding twenty-five dollars, or im prisoned thirty days, and any justice of the peace who refuses to enforce the law shall pay a fine of twenty-five dollars. If the law passes there will be some lively times under its provisions, and we have no doubt lots of fines. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, on Friday last, the rifle tournament was not largely attended, there being no person present from a distance. In the afternoon some six or eight of our local marksmen assembled in the west end of the fair grounds and con tended for the prize, but judging from the length of the strings made we are inclined to think that it was not a good day for shooting. During the latter part of the contest the rain fell so fast that it was almost impossible to draw a bead upon the target, but the marks men finished their boards regardless of the rain storm, and with fuli knowledge that they could not do themselves justice under the circumstances. The first prize was won by our young friend, Wm. Hosting, on a 28 12-16 string, and the second prize by W. P. Conrad on a2B 14-16 string. The distance was one hundred yards, off-band, and ten shots to the string. We have some good shots here, and if any person wishes to test the truth of this assertion by a friendly contest, any communi cation they may address to W. P. Conrad, at Huntingdon, will be promptly answered. DUST TO DUST.—The funeral of Rev. John D. Brown took place yesterday afternoon, the services being held in the Ridge Avenue M. E. Church. Prayer was offered by Rev. F. B. Riddle, of Huntingdon, at the late residence of the deceased, previous to the removal of the body. The church was crowded to the utmost capacity. Not less than twenty-five preachers were present, and occupied seats near the pulpit, in front of which the handsome casket containing the remains were placed. Rev. James C. Clarke, pastor, had charge of the services in the church, and announced the programme. The , ?..xereises commenced with the singing of an appropriate anthem by the choir, which was followed by the reading of the ninetieth Psalm, by Dr. Frost, of New Cumberland. Rev. J. A. Melick offered a fervent prayer. Rev. Jesse B. Young, of Carlisle, read the hymn "Servant of God, Well Done," and, after it was sung, Rev. Mr. Sherlock, of Mifflintown, read Luke xii. 22-40. (This was a portion of Scripture read by Mrs Brown at her husband's request, at family worship on Saturday night). Rev. B. H. Crever, D. D. of Liverpool, then delivered a very impressive discourse, descrip tive of Rev. John D. Brown's great love for the missionary work, his great sacrifices and his great reward. Rev. Joel Swartz, D. D., of the First Lutheran church, followed in a short address, in praise of the great devotion of the departed brother to the Master's work, and thought no one present had labored so earnestly or so well. Rev. B. B. Hamlin, D. D., Presiding Elder of the Harrisburg District, quoted the text, "lie Giveth His Beloved Sleep," and referred to the rest into which Bro. Brown had entered. His weary head, heart, feet and hands were at rest. All the speakers spoke feelingly, and in the highest praise of the great work done by the deceased in his life time, of his entire consecration to that work, and of the rich reward which he had gone to receive. At the close of the service the choir sung "Home of the Soul," while the large audience took a last view of the remains of one whom they loved so well. The casket was then closed and removed by the pall bearers, viz : Revs. R. Hinkle, P. F. Eyer, M. L. Ganoe and W. V. Ganoe, of Harrisburg, Rev. W. H. Keith, of Duncanaon and Rev. J. Ferguson ' of Chambersburgli. The interment took place at the East Harrisburgh cemetery. "A sleep in Jesus—blessed sleep." Rev. J. D. Brown leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. lu this great bereavement we are assured they have the sympathy of ou, community. and of the de nomination with which he was connected and in which he was so well known.—Harri s burg Telegraph, 21st Feb. . FATAL ACCIDENT —.4 Young Man Thrown from his Horse and his Skull Crushed In.—George H. Sheasley, a young man 14 years of age, son of Mr. David Sheasley, of West township, met with an accident on Thursday night of last week, which resulted in his death a few hours afterwards. Young Sheasley, in company with several companions about the same age, had been in attendance at the Methodist church, in Petersburg, and after the night services were over and the con gregation dismissed, the party of young men started for their respective homes, in the country, on horseback. They started from the village at a rapid rate of speed, and had not proceeded far on their journ"y, before the horse of the unfortunate young man ran into a broken and discarded buggy standing by the roadside, throwing his rider to the ground with great violence, crushing his skull and otherwise injuring bins. The night was very dark, and at the rapid rate at which the horses were going it was impossible for their riders to see the obstruction which proved so disas trous to one of their number. The companions of the unfortunate young man reined in their horses as soon as possible and returned to the scene of the accident, where they found young Sheasley lying upon the ground entirely un conscious. Ile was taken to his home, but remained in an unconscious condition until about 3 o'clock the following day, when death relieved him of his sufferings. IN YEARS past New York was supposed to lead the country in the amount of business transacted and in the skill with which her merchants attracted orders and customers from all parts of the Union. In those days, now past, all foreign steamers landed at her wharves, and she had some advantages over her sister city of Philadelphia, which do riot now exist. The only line of steamers carrying the American flag sails weekly from and to Phila delphia, and her merchants receive their foreign shipments direct, without the delays incident to the New York custom house. In the matter of filling orders by mail, which now has grown to such an immense business, Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier, of Philadel phia, are leading the country. The promptness with which orders for dry goods and requests for samples are filled by this wide-awake house is surprising. A letter addressed to this firm, instead of having to wait its turn, is answered by return mail, and all orders executed, not only satisfactorily and immediately, but at prices with which few houses can compete. New York will have to look to its laurels if its merchants expect to keep abreast of such a Philadelphia house as that of Strawbridge & Clothier. ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.—OD Friday afternoon last a man named Henry Swiler, a resident of Mill Creek, was arrested at the Leister House, in this place, and lodged in jail to answer the charge of forgery. It seems Swiler came to town on that day, and feeling a little thirsty, and not having the necessary shekels to purchase his liquor, the idea en tered his head that he could obtain the desired usufruct by forging the name of one of his neighbors to a check. lie went into a store on Allegheny street and procured a blank check on the Union Bank, which he drew up for $lO and signed the name of Henry Metcalf to it. Mr. Adam Schmearmund, of this place, cashed the check at ten per cent. discount, and as there were some doubts about the genuineness of the paper, J. C. Long, esq., of the Union Bank was hunted up and shown the check, when he unhesitatingly pronounced it a forgery. Swiler was detained at the hotel until officer Westbrook was found when he was given quarters in Castle Irvin. We un derstand that the greater portion of the money was recovered by the officer. J. SYLVANUS BLAIR, ESQ.—We have received a copy of the New Orleans Democrat, of the 15th ult., containing a lengthy report of the trial of the Bellocq-Noblom cotton suit in the United States Circuit Court ; at that time in session in that city, in which our young friend and townsman, J. S. Blair, esq., is the leading counsel for the United States, the prosecutor in the case. Mr. Blair holds the office of Assistant Attorney General, and since his connection with that place, he has tried many important cases, in which large sums of money were involved, and in all of them he has acquitted himself in a creditable manner, showing that his I.gal learning fully qualifies him for the high and responsible position which he so ably and satisfactorily fills. Ills argument in the case in question was au able and exhaustive one, and we con gratulate our young friend on his success in the profession of his choice.

It is not how it shall secure the establishment of the Brethren's Normal School and Collegiate Institution in our town, with all its advantages and benefits but how our people, and especially those who are most interested, can afford to be so apa- thetic in relation to it, as to allow the interest to languish, if not entirely die out, only to awake in a short time to the fact that the en- terprise has been taken elsewhere to benefit a more enterprising community. It has come to light that some of those interested in the ground, a part of which it had been expected would be donated, as a part of the site for the school, are not in favor of such encourage ment, if not really hostile to the whole enter- prise, and a site wholly within the borough has been decided upon, and it now remains for the people—the borough or town as a unit— to go to work, buy the location asked and pre sent it to the Trustees of the School, and we are assured that the work will be commenced on the buildings immediately. Students are flocking in, undaunted by the "scare" which has now passed, and the building now tem— porarily occupied by the school will not be sufficient to accommodate them even during the spring term. A building mu&t be put up here, or it will be put up elsewhere. We were shown a copy of the Ashland Times, printed at Ashland, Ohio, giving a detailed account of the effort there being made to secure the en- terprise at that place. Ten thousand dollars have been subscribed by the citizens of the town ,which is much smaller than Huntingdon, and an additional two thousand dollars offered for the remoyal of the Primitive Christian office, and Brethrens' Publishing House to that place. This latter interest is growing, and even now brings many thousands of dollars from abroad annually to circulate in our community, and to risk the loss of all for the sake of the corn- partitively insignificant sum required seems like.supreme folly. It may be asked why those people do not themselves purchase the site and erect their buildings. This cannot be expected when other towns are making of fers of the kind alluded to ; then the large amount of money to be invested in the com- pleting of the enterprise must come from abroad, and it is essential that those who are interested in the work, and related to the in- stitution hire, shall be able to go abroad to those from whom they expect to raise the funds, anc: represent that llnntingdon is in- terested enough to donate the ground upon which their money is to be expended. Now let the town wake up, and go to work in earnest, and not let every enterprise pass by, and even those go away that are already here. The advantages of this school to this cow- munity cannot he over-estimated, and less than half the amount offered by other towns of less size, will secure its establishment and perpetuation here. Laborers, tradesmen, capi talists, merchants, private citizens—men ; women and children, all are iuterested.— Awake to that interest and go to work THE LAW OF THE ROAD.—This is a matter not generally understood by a majority of people, and on account of their ignorance of the laws governing travellers serious acci dents often occur. A case growing out of some difficulty upon the highway, was recently tried in the Mercer county court, and Judge M'Dermitt, in charging the jury, clearly and concisely defined the law of the road, and for the benefit of the readers of the JOURNAL we transfer his remarks to our columns, believing that it will be to the interest of every one to fully understand their rights, duties and privileges when upon the road: First. Persons driving in opposite directions and meeting in the highway must turn to the right as the law directs, and each one must give sufficient room for the other to pass. if a collision should occur and it should satis factorily appear that one bad kept the centre of the road and bad not given the other suffi cient room to pass, the first party would be responsible, civilly, for any damage resulting from his negligence, and also criminally for ati assault and battery. If both parties should keep in the middle of the road both would be guilty of negligence, but neither could main tain a civil action against the other. Each would be guilty of the breach of the peace. Second. When parties are traveling on the same road and the one behind comes up to his fellow, who refuses to let him pass, and who purposely and maliciously retards his progress, the one behind must bide his time. lie cannot take the law in his own hands and punish the man who causelessly kept him back, but he has a remedy at law by an action of damages. Or if one comes up behind another and recklessly undertakes to pass him, and thereby inflicts damage upon the one in front, he is not only guilty of committing an assault and battery, but is responsible in damages to the party injured. A person in front has no right to keep one behind him back who desires to drive faster; if he does he is liable to civil damages, but the party in passing must not do so as to inflict any injury upon the other. SAVE YOUR HOME PAPER.—A contem porary advises its readers to save the local paper, and have it bound. A few years will make it the most instructive and entertaining volume you can possess. All the laws of association make it more or less a history of yourself and friends. Names, dates, facts, are preserved for you in the most accessible manner. It gives the history of your town and neighborhood, and that which is but an epitome of negative interest becomes, on occa sion, very often, matter of "weightiest import." You get in and from it more value for the amount invested than from the like amount "planted" any where else. You don't realize it at the moment, but in less than half a decade the study of that then old paper absorbs you unwontedly, through the mem ories it recalls, in this fast and busy age, for gotten. It recalls something, a date, an occa sion, an event, of interest often, and of im portanee frequently. Save your local paper. This is good advice.

EDITOR :—Although last week the roads were almost impassable and the weather un pleasant, the good people of the Reformed church of McConnelstown did not forget their pastor. They paid him a visit in the way of a liber donation, for which he would return his sincere thanks, ever praying that our Heavenly Father may bless them abundantly, both temporally and spiritually, for their kind remembrance of him and his family. THANKS —We are indebted to our liberal hearted friend, Bob Westbrook, the proprietor of the Penn street restaurant, for a large and elegant shad, the first that has graced our board this season. It was fresh and toothsome, the only kind that can be had at his establish ment, as no inferior article is ever dealt over his counters. If any of our readers want a really prime article of shad Bob's is the place to get them, and besides this he cleans them ready for the pan without any additional cost.

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, 0. K. MR. EDITOR—Dear Sir:—l wish to say to the many readers of your paper, that tlie Brother hood, with the Greenback Labor men in unity, elected two School Directors, one Supervisor, and majority Inspector of election, and ran very cluse on the . whole ticket. There was only one combination opposing the ticket. So you see we do not fear next fall, at which time it will be done right. Yours, Fraternally, Feb. 20, 1878. VOTER. EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir:—"We have met the enemy and they are ours." We met them massed at the Coffee Run school house on yesterday morning, on the old battle ground, at 7 o'clock A. M. They had thrown out a heavy picket line, but when a few of our ad vance guard came in sight the enemy com menced to fall back. Shortly afterwards the General and Staff arrived, and commenced to rally their forces declaring that General Green back and his forces must be beaten if it was in the timber, after which the contending armies met, and such a clashing of arms. You have no idea of the carnage that followed each charge. The battle lasted until dark, when it was found that the enemy had been routed, "horse, foot and dragoon." The General leaving a little before the great battle was over. lie left his small army in charge of the staff officers, but after the close of the fight it was discovered that the whole staff was killed, in fact his whole army was either killed, wounded or taken prisoners. It might be well enough to state the strength of the Greenback party in little Lincoln. We started last fall a year ago a ith one vote for Cooper ; last fall we polled for the Greenback ticket 32 votes, on yesterday we polled 73 votes. This was a straight, square Greenback fight, so you see, Mr. Editor, we mean business. G REEN 13 ACK ER. COFFEE RuN, Feb. 20, 1978. MR. EDlTOR:—Having read with a great degree of interest, the article in the Jourtsat °limit week by "An Old Practitioner," it has occurred to me to present for his consideration a thought or two on the subject by way of suggestion, which might prove valuable should a like emergency occur in the future. As lam but an hum de citizen, hav ing no ',retentions to scientific or literary attain ments, I merely throw out the suggestion, hoping that he will consider it in the light of science and of medical jurisprudence, and inform us as to the practicability and effectiveness of the measures, so far as has come under his observation. I refer principally to the system of "ventilation and fu migation," to ether with the additional precaution of having a comm ttee to attend to the door, and guards appointed to exclude infected persons. This system seems to have worked so admirably in our town, during the prevalence of the epidemic, that it was even alleged—truthfully I have no doubt— that the churches were doing more for the health of the community than the Board of Health was afterwards able to accomplish. Now, Mr. "Old Practitioner," what is your opinion on the subject? Of course the "ventila tion," judiciously administered by throwing open the windows and doors, and admitting a sudden draft of cold air into a close warm room, would have a salutary effect upon the health of the con greg,•tion, bat how is it about the "fumigation," and what agents would you prefer for accomplish- A. G. D. Dignity. 1850 23458 33009 9550 ing most effectively this purpose ? Would you pre fer brimstone or assafmdita, as a fumigating agent; or would a judicious mingling of the two ingredi ents have a more salutary effect ? The former might, in addition to the effect it would have on the health of the congregation, serve to deepen the influence of the preacher's remarks, by affording to the impenitent portion of the congregation a prac tical illustration of what they might look for here after if still persistent in their evil course, while the later would undoubtedly serve to quicken and fortify the olfactory nerves for any contact with a more offensive odor, and would impart an agreea ble variety at least, if not a counteracting effect, to the influence of the former. Another plan pursued with very decided advan tage by one of our churches during the prevalence of the contagion was that of having guards at the door to exclude from entrance any infected per sons, and in this case the sense of security wa.s greatly enhanced by the fact that one of the "guards" was a man lehose family had the small pox at the time. This is supposed to have had the effect of keeping those who were not infected on the outside at least, if the infected ones Aid hap pen to get inside. Will your correspondent be kind enough to enlighten us a little on a question of much vital interest. CITIZEN. YOU MUST CURE TIIAT COUGH With Shiloh's Consumption Cure you can cure yourself.
