Robert Hollingshead, of Saxton. has recov

It is reported that when the members of the
committee to investigate the Pittsburgh riots
were told that the soldiers had formed in

We are in receipt of the New Enterprise, an
amateur paper, published at Mifflintown, by

the Enterprise success.
The Johnstown Daily Tribune was five years
old on Saturday last. It is one of the newsiest
inland dailies in the State, its local columns
are always well filled and interesting, and its
typographical appearance a credit to its pro

per annum. Long live the Tribune.

The barn of Mr. Mordecai Henry, of Barree
township, was entirely consumed by fire on
Thursday evening of last week, about seven
o'clock, with a great portion of its contents,
such as hay, grain, cloverseed, two colts,
several calves, and a lot of sheep. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. The loss is from $1,209 to $1,500.

Lou Wertz, of this place, whilst in a state
of inebriation, on Thursday of last week, at
tempted to end his earthly trouble by swal
lowing a large dose of laudanum. One of his
associates who happened to observe him take
the drug, gave the alarm, a physician was
called and an emetic administered, which soon
compelled the young man to "cast up his ac
counts," and saved him from being the victim
of a dose of cold pizen."
We learn from the Altoona Sun, of Saturday
last, that a shooting-match is on the tapis,
between Blair and Cambria county marksmen,
for a purse of $lOO, to come off at Tyrone in
the near future. Don't be selfish, gentlemen,
and extend your invitation to Huntingdon's
crack shots to participate in the proposel
match. In this match, the same paper says,
the distance has been fixed at seventy yards,
off-hand, or one hundred yards rest.
We bear it reported that the Local News has
got itself into some trouble by publishing a
slanderous communication concerning the
morals of our neighboring village of Peters
burg. We are informed by citizens of that
town that the communication published in the
News is a tissue of falsehoods from beginning
to end, and that great indignation is felt over
this wholesale libel. "Does the Local News
want to be classed atnoag the sensational
papers ?"
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURN AL 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.
The Altoona Tribune men have again been
arrested and held to answer the charge of
libel. This time the aggrieved party is Re
corder Greevey, of that city, who imagines
that his fair fame has been tarnished by that
paper. This is the second arrest, within a
week, for the Tribune management, but we
have no doubt they will come out of court un
harmed, and their prosecutors will find that
they could have been more profitably em
ployed than In trying to improve their social
standing by recourse to a court and jury.
The private dwelling of Mr. Wm. L. Mosser,
in Juniata township, was entirely destroyed
by fire, on Friday last, with all its contents,
his wife, who was sick at the time, only es
caping with her life by the aid of neighbors,
who carried her to a place of safety. Mr.
Mosser was at work some distance from the
house, and was not aware of the fire until it
was too late to save any of his property. The
fire, we understand, was the result of some
children in an adjoining shed who were igniting
matches. Mr. Mosser's loss will fall heavily
upon him.
Brother M'Pike, of the Cambria Freeman,
will again ask for the nomination for the office
of Treasurer at the hands of the Democracy of
"little Cambria." For several years past he
has had a desire to handle the shekels of that
county, but for some reason or other—because
he had not enough delegates in the conven
tions, we suppose—some other chap always
carried off the coveted prize. M'Pike is a
hard worker in the ranks of his party, prints
a good paper, for little pay, and if the Democ
racy of that region want to do the square
thing they will nominate and elect him. So
mote it be.
The practice of advertising a little now and
then may be of small benefit, but as a con
temporary remarks: "it is only a drop in the
bucket compared with a standing advertise
ment in the columns of an influential and re
spectable newspaper. All the prosperous
business men of to-day, who have made their
money legitimately in their business have
done it by steady, persistent advertising aid
not by spurts and jerks. Irregular advertising
is like raising a sign one day and tearing it
down the nextAili.so on indefinitely. Better
to do this than not at all, but how infinitely
wiser to keep your name and business con
stantly in view."
This from a score of our exchanges ; A
very clever (and therefore dangerous) imita
tion of the genuine trade dollar has made its
appearance within the past few days. On
comparison with the genuine coin it will be
found that the bogus trade dollars are pinkish
white in hue. They may readily be detected
in this peculiarity in color. the milling
of the counterfeit is nearly perfect, but there
are slight traces of the mould, in which the
coin has been run visible on the edge ; it is
also light in weight, and will not rebound
much when sounded. However, no silver coin
larger than a dime will rebound to any ex
tent, however hard it may be struck on a
wooden surface.
A correspondent informs the Local News
that on Sunday night, Feb. 24, an unknown
colored lady came to Mapleton, and after get
ting something to eat at the house of a
hospitable citizen, she wended her way west
ward ; but on the way she was intercepted by
a man, who, according to her story, attempted
to accomplish a devilish design, but she fled
from him and returned to Mapleton, where she
was provided quarters in a hotel for the night.
The next day she was sent away on the Way
passenger train, some of the citizens having
raised enough money to procure a ticket. The
excitement occasioned by the affair has died
out, but the deposition of the woman was
taken by the Burgess.

The •LENTEN SEASON.—Now that the
season of Lent has just commenced we deem
it timely to publish the rules to be observed
by the faithful during its continuance. We
find them in the Pittsburgh Catholic, and
coming from that source they can be relied
upon as being authentic and correct:
1. All the faithful who have completed
their twenty-first year are, unless legitimately
dispensed, bound to observe the fast of Lent.
2. They are to make only one cull meal a
day, excepting Sundays.
3. The meal allowed on Fast Days is not to
be taken till about noon.
4. At that meal, if on any day permission
should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh
and fish are not to be used at the same time,
even by way of sauce or condiment.
5. A small refreshment, commonly called
collation, is allowed in the evening, no general
rule as to the quantity of food permitted at
this time, is or can be made. But the prac
tice of the most regular Christians is, never to
let it exceed the fourth of any ordinary meal.
6. General usage has made it lawful to
drink in the morning some warm liquid, as tea,
coffee, or thin choclate made with water.
7. Necessity and custom have authorized
the use of lard in cooking.
8. The following persons are exempted from
the obligation of fasting. Young persons
under 21 years of age, the sick, pregnant
women, or those giving suck to infants, per
sons obliged to hard, labor and all who,
through weakness, cannot fast without great
prejudice to their health.
9. By dispensation the use of flesh meat will
be allowed at any time on Sundays, and once
a day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays,
with the exception of the Saturday in Ember
Week, and the last four days of Lent.
10. Persons dispensed from the obligation
of fasting are not bound by the restriction of
using meat only at one meal, on days which
its use is granted by dispensation. Those
who are obliged to fast are permitted to use
meat only at one meal.
11. The time for making the Easter Com
munion will date from the first Sunday in Lent
till the second Sunday after Easter—both in
cluded.
KINDNESS HANDSOMELY REWARDED.
—Miss Sarah J. Rhodes, of Clappertown, Blair
county, was recently left the immense sum of
$90,000 by a maiden lady residing in Phila
delphia who died on the sth of January last.
The lady being of English descent, having no
relatives in this country, left all she bad to
Miss Rhodes under these circumstances : On
the 28th of December, 1873, Miss Rhodes was
coming to Altoona and met the lady on the
train, who was quite ill. She ministered to
her wants is the kindest manner and accom
panied her to the place of her destination.
When Miss Rhodes took leave of the sick lady
the latter asked her for her address, and
offered to reward her for her kindness and
attention. This was refused, when Miss Pres
cott, for that was the strange lady's name.
remarked to Miss Rhodes on parting, "You
will be paid some day." From that time
forward nothing passed between the ladies nor
did they again see each other; and now Miss
Rhodes lies been startled into remembrance of
the incident by a most substantial fulfillment
of Miss Prescott's prediction. Miss Rhodes
has the well-wishes of her neighbors in her
good fortune, Clappertown has at least one
heiress, and one, it is said, of which it can be
proud.—Altoona Daily Tribune.
THE FIRST IN THE FIELD--On the
second page of this week's issue will he found
the large advertisement of John Wanamaker,
announcing the advance Spring sale at his
Grand Depot, 13th and Market streets, Phila
delphia. This is one of the largest establish
ments in the country, and is so conducted that
customers residing hundreds of miles distant
can send for samples, and make their purchases
as cheaply and satisfactorily as those who are
able to visit this stupendous emporium in per
son. Some of the prices quoted in the adver
tisement referred to will astonish the reader,
but by buying whole cargoes of goods at a
time he is enabled to sell much cheaper than
those who purchase small lots. All orders
promptly filled, satisfaction guaranteed, or
money refunded.
HEALTH ORDINANCE.—At the regular
meeting of Council, on Friday night last,
Chief Burgess Lovell presented an ordinance
relating to the public health and having in
view the enforcement of the necessary sanitary
measures to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases. The ordinance was referred to the
Committee on Finance, who promptly report
ed favorably, when, on motion, the rules
were suspended and it was passed by sections,
as follows :
Sec. I Be it enacted by the Burgesses and Town

Chief Burgess, with the name and residence of the
patient, and to report in like manner, the recovery
or death of each person, as the case may be, as

A. SCENE IN COURT.—In a case against
the Pennsylvania canal company, for alleged
negligence in not keeping up three certain
dams, part of the canal on the upper Juniata,
tried last week.in Hollidaysburg, before Judge
Bucher, the following offer of testimony and
ruling of the court took place :
Mr. 11. I offer to show by the witness on the
stand that the whole of the canal, including
the three dams mentioned in plaintiff's declara
tions, was in good navigable order at the time
complained of.
Mr. L. We object to anything outside of
three dams.
Mr. H. The damages claimed relate to three
dams and the measure of damages, we do not
care a dam for any other dam than three dams,
but we have aright to show general condition
of all dams, as tending to prevent our being
dammed in three dams.
By the Court. We think, Mr. H., it will not
hurt you if you are dammed outside of three
darns, and at present advised, we will reject
sour darn offer and confine you to three dams.
Our Blair county exchanges do not state
that the learned counsel making the offer
took an exception. But in view of so many

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
LETTER FROM PETERSBURG,
EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir:—There appeared
in the last Local News, of February 25th, a com
munication, signed "Traveler," representing a
sorry picture of our village, which represented the
shady side strong. We also have a sunny aide.
It was my privilege to attend a musical enter
tainment, held in the Presbyterian church, on Sat
urday evening, the 23d inst., under the manage
ment of Prof. F. E. Meek, of Pine Grove Mills,
Center county. Prof. Meek has had this class
under his care for two quarters, and in closing up
a concert was decided on in which the class ac
quitted themselves honorably, reflecting great
credit on the Professor. In addition to the class
there was an increased interest from the fact that
Prof. Meek has three lovely daughters, who have
as lovely voices as they are beautiful in person
and manners. These young ladies assisted the
class, which consisted largely of young persons
and they, with the Professor, sang several songs
themselves : "Moonlight on the Lake," "Meet me
at the Fountain," and "The Old Easy Chair,"
which were repeated at the urgent request of a
number of persons in the audience. I noticed in
the congregation, Dr. Stockton, of your town, who
is talented in music, and I heard some one remark
that he should have said that he never heard two
voices blend so completely as one voice as two of
the voices of Prof. Meek's danghte s. The bad
roads and a sad accident, which resulted in the
death of Mr. Sheasly's son, had a tendency to
make the audience smaller than it would have
been, yet the class, I think, was much gratified
with the number present and the approval they
received from their patrons. More anon.
A MUCH NEEDED LAW.
MR. EDITOR :-I see you have been so kind as
to gracefully commend, and publish articles from
two other papers commendative of the able, vir
tuous and thoughtful Mr. Garman, member from
somewhere, who has introduced a bill into the
douse increasing the exemption from 300 to 800
dollars. I, along with many more, are interested
in the passage of that bill and I hope it will be
railroaded through the House and Senate and be
come a law soon.
For, you see, I borrowed $3OO from one fellow
and $2OO from another and, al they thought I was
good, they were willing just to take common notes
for the amount. I have the money invested and
could pay them back almost any time with a little
notice; but if I could get out of paying them at
all, it would be $5OO clear money to me. They
may want their money pretty soon—they told me
they needed it this spring—and I do hope Mr.
Garman will hurry that bill through.
If that bill passes I will tell them I have sus
pended payment and that they bad better try to
collect their money before I go into bankruptcy.
Then I will let them get judgment against me and
when they have issued execution I will claim the
$BOO law and tell them they can take an appraise
ment if they wish. I haven't more than two or
three thousand dollars worth of real estate and
personal property but I don't think all I have
would be appraised at over seven oreight hundred
dollars—appraisers are generally a sympathizing
set of men and animated with a christiaa spirit—
and you see I would be cut of paying those notes
just as sleek as a whistle. I have some notes and
bonds beside but the appraisers won't need to know
anything about these; and I think I am safe if
that law passes. But I wish Mr. Garman, when
he is about it, would make the amount a thousand
or twelve hundred. If he would do this he would
earn the gratitude of every honest laboring man in
the country, and might possibly be elected Gover
nor next year. You see he can make the amount
just as much as he pleases and no member will
dare vote against it, because if they did they would
be set down as enemies of the poor laboring men
and they wouldn't stand a chance of re-election. I
hope Mr. Garman will make the amount a little
larger, fur possibly that appraisemont might go a
little over $BOO and I would hate to be so near
clear of that $5OO, and then have to pay a part of
it, Try to get him to make the amount $l2OO pr
$l5OO if you can.
I had thought of purchasing a small farm next
summer—it is offered cheap and on easy terms—
but if that law passes I will invest what spare

SPECTATOR.
change I can get in bonds and put them where
appraisers and income tax collectors wou't ever
find them. A farm would be a good deal in the
way when a debt comes up against you ; unless I
would have it deeded to my wife, and then I guess
they could'nt reach it.
These grasping creditors are a bad thing in so
ciety—Shylocks I think is what they call creditors
and I wish Mr. Garman would pass a law that
nobody shall be allowed to pay any debts at all.
Then I :hink this glorious country will have reach
ed the acme of its glory (that word nc,ne is in
Webster's Unabridged; I saw it there 1.11 s d) and
the millennium will be ready to come on demand.
Anybody as bad and mean and grasping as credi
tors should be glad if they got leave to live in a
civilized country without wanting to have a free
permit to collect their monstrous claims besides.
But at any rate I am glad that the law is inter
posing its strong arm and is going to say in effect
that a poor man shall not in any way be bound to
pay any debts that he may contract. And I am
glad that a man in moderate circumstances, say
worth two or three thousand or so, will have a
change now and then to borrow a little money or
get some goods on credit, and though even he may
give a judgment exemption note, and promise on
a stack of bibles four feet high to pay when due,
yet the bloated creditor cannot compel him to pay
a cent. I think the year of jubilee is coming, Mr
Editor, and I say all honor to Mr. Garman.
I saw a fellow, not long ago, borrowing some
money of a friend, and, not having a blaelt ex
emption note handy, he wrote out one saying, "he
would pay the amount when due without any
mental, moral or legal observation and waiving
the benefit of all laws that would enable a debtor
to swindle a creditor out of a just claim." Now I
think signing such a note was an insult to the
Commonwealth and the law-makers of Pennsylva
nia, and I think Mr. Garman should add a pro
vision that a man signing such a note be sentenced
to 20 years in Fisher's new Penitentiary. But for
fear I should take up too much room I will close
this time. JOHNSON.
NO GET UP.
EDITOR JOURNAL:—Having formerly sojourned
for a time in your village, I feel a kind of an in
terest in its welfare, and knowing that you are
desirous of having everybody's opinion about mat
ters and things up there I have ventured to give
you an inkling of mine. I see in the last JOURNAL
you double lead an artiole about the proposed col
lege there. You may just as well save your type
and leads and trouble. The college will not be lo
cated at Huntingdon. The people of Huntingdon
have'nt get up enough to have a college or any
thing elan located there. Ten years ago when the
State Normal School could have been located at
Huntingdon just as easy as not they let it go to
Shippensburg rather than somebody should make
money sellin; town lots. If it were only fifty dol
lars that were needed to buy the lots for that D unk
ard Colleg., the subs3ription would never get
above forty-nine dollars, and 15 per cent. of that
would never be paid, and the school would go to
Ohio, as it will go-this summer.
Huntingdon has been a famous place during the
last tea years. They have been having rolling
mills and machine shops and car works and fur
naces and glass works and colleges and peniten
tiaries and the Lord knows what all; and they
have succeeded in getting up two or three mills
that broke up everybody who got hold of them and
now stand idle.. The only thing that I recall now
thet has been a success was the small-pox, and it
proved a success because the doctors and the coun
cil of that sleepy town were too slow to look after
it until it had the town well in its grip.
The council acted and did-right when it did wake
up, but if the tour chicken doctors had'nt at last
agreed that the disease was small-pox would the
council have done anything even now though in
the meantime one-fourth of the population had
died of the scourge?. Facts would not bearyou out
in answering that they would. Not until that long
Local .IYelre article proving from all the medical
works to be had or borrowed in Huntingdon that
small-pox is only chicken, pig and sheep pox, et
cetera, not until this wonderful article -aw the
light in print did the local authorities think worth
while to do something to stay the scourge. And,
by the way, when that learned antiquarian gets
out a second edition of that famous work on small
chicken-pig-pox I would suggest that there are
extant two works from which he did not quote—
that these books could be borrowed in this town
and quotations be given in next edition. I refer
to Jayne's Family Medical almanac and the learn
ed work of Dr. Gunn. _ .
But possibly lam off my subject. I began the
article to say, and I say it with sorrow, that you
may talk until you are tired of glass works, col
leges and penitentiaries, but Huntingdon won't
see any of them; simply, because the people of
that village have no get up in them. There is a
class that will kill any town and that class seems
to have Huntingdon in control. They are impul
sive and excitable but their excitement is periodic
and don't last longenongh to accomplish anything.
The glass work fever has died out long ago and
so will all other projects that are gotten up there.
With many natural advantages and many op
portunities, Huntingdon ought to have been pros
perous and ought to have had 8000 population
now instead of 4000; but Huntingdon won't get
on much farther than it is until a radical change
is made in its manner of doing things, and let us
hope that that may soon be. OLANTER.

AMONG TUF DEAD FAILURES
Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may be
-numbered! Beginning their careers with a tre
mendous flourish of trumpets, blazoned for a time
in the public prints and on flaming posters, soon,
but not too soon, were they relegated to the limbo
of things lost on earth. But Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is a living and thriving remedy. It goes
on, curing and to cure. Neither underhand nor
open competition affect it. On the contrary, con
trast its popularity, It has been repeatedly imi
tated, 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 interrmittent
