A publisher will indulge a subscriber, per
haps, three, four, five or a half dozen years,
but the moment he pays up he wants the paper
stopped. Tbere isn't much gratitude ex
hibited for the leniency shown under such
circumstances.
Last week the mud was scraped up and
carted off Penn street, which adds to the ap
pearance of that thoroughfare, and insures
the safety from swamping in the mire of any
person who is compelled to pass over it at
some other point than the street-crossings.
The Mt. Union Times: Mr. James C. Davis'
of Germany Valley, died of apoplexy on last
Saturday morning, the 9th inst., while on a
visit to his son, P. H. Davis, in this place.--
He was aged about 80 years, and has been a
resident of Germany Valley for the past fifty
years.
"McTigh," is what Uncle Jake Zeigler, of
the Butler Herald, calls the witty McPike, of
the Cambria Freeman, when speaking of the
latter's candidacy for the nomination for county
treasurer. We hope Mac. may Tigh and get
ahead of all competitors in the race for the
money-bags of "Little Cambria."
There is such an amount of freight at the
Pittsburgh freight yard, that the tracks for a
distance of fourteen miles out of the city are
standing full of loaded cars awaiting shipment,
the motive power of the P. R. It., not being
sufficiebt to remove them promptly. This is
a good sign of a revival of trade.
The Democrats had a nice little fight over
delegates to the State Convention, at the
County Committee meeting. on Friday of last
week. Mr. Speer was elected senatorial, and
Col. John S. Miller and Dr. W. P. McNite rep
resentative delegates. Messrs. Petriken and
McAteer were unsuccessful contestants.
A participant in the election at the Lutheran
Sunday School in this place, desires us to state
that if there was any "animated contest" for
Superintendent it must have been exclusively
confined to our informant, and the subjects of
the animation must have been among the in
fantry, for no one else knew or cared anything
about it.
James Campbell, a youth of Celtic extrac
tion, who vegetates in the neighboring town
of Bedford, now languishes in jail, in Pitts
burgh, to answer the charge of passing a
counterfeit twenty five cent piece. NO other
money was found upon his person, and it is
more than probable that the lad innocently
violated the law.
The vocal and instrumental music which
preceded and followed the Lecture at the
Court House, on last Friday night, was very
tine. Miss Hoar acquitted herself splendidly
and was roundly encored. Miss Stewart is
an extremely fine performer, while the duet of
Mrs. Johnston and Miss Hunter was deserving
of the highest encomiums.
Said a young man to us the other evening :
"A man might just as well work, in Hunting
don, from seven o'clock in the morning until
nine o'clock in the evening, because there is
no way for him to spend his evenings profit
ably." How true it is, and sad it is that it is
true. A town as large as Huntingdon cer
tainly ought to have a public library.
Col. John S. Miller, of the Exchange, in this
place, has leased the large three-story brick
house on the corner of Fourth and Allegheny
streets, adjoining the Union depot, and will
convert it into a hotel. Carpenters are al
ready at work making the necessary alterations
and improvements. It is eligibly located and
%ill command a fair share of the patronage
from the travelling public.
The best hit made by the Rev. GeissingEr
in his lectwre on "Delusions" was when he
said that at least half a dozen crazy men went
to Washington, on the 4th of March last a year
ngo, expecting to be inaugurated, with great
pomp and ceremony, President of the United
States, and a large number of people were
ungenerous enough to believe that one of
them had been inaugurated.
About two miles west of Everett, in Snake
Spring township, Bedford county, a week or
two ago, a cave was discovered on the lands
of Wm. Hartley, by some workmen employed
in quarrying lime stone, which has created
quite an excitement amongst the citizens of
that place. The new discovery has not been
thoroughly explored, but we learn from the
Press that it will be in the near future.
We observe an item floating around that
says that the Attorney General has decided
that School Directors need not confine them
selves to their own county in looking about
for a capable man for County Superintendent.
According to the Attorney General, any citizen
of the United States who is capable is eligible,
and the Directors convention can go out of
their own county for a man if they want to.
Get your money out of the strong box and
put it in circulation. If christians can't have
some confidence in their fellow men, so much
so at least as to trust those who wili pay a
reasonable amount, you had better abolish the
churches. We want the panic to get over, and
to avoid any in the future, refuse to sign every
"shirt tail" note offered you. No man but a
thief ought to be asked to sign such a note.
Our excellent young friend, Cloyd Seybert,
esq., of the First National Bank, received the
first silver dollar of the new coinage—the
dollar of the daddies—that was received in
this place. It was forwarded directly to him
from the Uni:cd States sub-treasury, in Phil
adelphia, by George Scott, esq., son of Hon.
John Scott. Cloyd ought to have it punched
and wear it as a token during the remainder
of his days.
Amelia Guilford left Lock Haven on the
twentieth of last December, for Edenburg,
Clarion county, since which time nothing has
been heard of her. She is about 16 years old,
5/ feet high, dark complexion, black hair and
eyes, and was dressed in blue silk dress, with
black sack or coat. Any information in re
gard to her will be gladly received by her
mother, Airs. Ellen Guilford, Lock Haven, Pa.
Exchanges please copy.
The officials of Hollidaysburg have adopted
measures looking to the breaking up of corner
and street loafing, and the corner statuary of
that town will be fined and imprisoned if they
persist in the reprehensible practice. The
Council of Huntingdon should pass a similar
law, and see that it is enforced. After dark
a female is not safe from insult when passing
the crowds of loafers that are nightly found
upon the street corners. Stop it at once.
The Industrial Publishing Company, limited,
of Altoona, is preparing to issue an eight-page
weekly Globe. We hope it will prosper. In
fact we hope every new newspaper will succeed
and make money for the bosses, and some
how they never do, and after a lapse of a few
years we see the fellows going round with the
seats out of their breeches, just as they were
wont to go before they started the paper. The
only two things they litve more of are railroad
passes and debts,—Johnstown Tribune.
Frank Moultrie, a colored farmer in Oneida
township, residing about one mile distant
from this place, died, on Tuesday night last,
from a scrofulous disease, contracted, it is
said, by vaccination. lie was properly vac
cinated by one of the physicians of this place,
but his arm fail Eng to get sore, he procured a
scab from the arm of a child affected with
scrofula, and vaccinated himself. His arm
soon got very sore, and grew worse from day
to day, until Tuesday night, when he died.
He was a sober and industrious man.
Same regulation should be made that when
ever a person enters a passenger car one of
the train-men should be inside to seat the
party who enters. We cften see timid ladies,
and frequently gentlemen, enter a car where
each seat is occupied by a single passenger,
who show no disposition to yield an inch, and
the consequence is that the party or parties
who have just entered feel very much em
barrassed and annoyed. A train man could
add much to their comfort by simply banding
them into a seat. The day will come when
the railway hog will cease to travel.
The True Democrat, of Lewistown, looks at
it in this light: The publishers of the Local
News at Huntingdon, heretofore a live and
sprightly sheet, have changed its name to
Semi-Weekly News, and also enlarged its size,
but at the same time took a step barkward by
adopting a patent inside. A town as large as
Huntingdon can support home-made news
papers, and Lindsay & Co., should not have
issued, neither should the citizens tolerate any
other, because a "patent" sheet inevitably in
jures a town, by conveying to the public
abroad the impression that it either lacks in
telligence or enterprise, or else is too sparsely
populated to sustain a whole newspaper.
Our friend, J. M. Hewitt, esq., of the firm
of Snyder, Harris & Bassett, 525 Market street,
Philadelphia, dropped in to see us the other
day and assures us that be has found business
better on this trip than he ever remembers it
to have been. Business is looking up. We
only desire to add to the public at large :
Bogin to trust your honest neighbors, men
whom you know to be wining to pay, and try
and do away with the panic. You have been
treating every man as a thief long enough.—
It is about time, not only for your own sakes,
but that of your neighbors, and that of the
country at large, that you get down from your
high horse. Men who want to benefit the
country must have the confidence of their
fellow men.
John Myers, residing on Moore street, in
this borough, a brakeman on the Local Freight,
plying between Huntingdon and Harrisburg,
had one of his legs badly cut and bruised, on
Monday morning last. He was sitting on the
edge of the car with his legs dangling over the
side, and whilst passing a bridge one of his
legs came in contact with the timbers, injuring
it to such an extent that be had to be taken
from his train and sent home on the Way
Passenger. His injuries were attended to by
Dr. Weistling, the Company's physician, who
is of the opinion that no bones are broken.—
Myers seems to be laboring under a bad streak
of luck, as it is not long since he was a victim
of small pox, which detained him from work
for several weeks, and now this accident will
incapacitate him from attending to his duties
for some weeks to come.
THE PLATE GLASS WORKS.—AI most
daily comes the question : "What about the
Glass Works?" Our people feel that this
project should go on at all hazards and they
cannot understand why there should be any
hitch about it. We assure them that all will
be well if they only exhibit a sufficient amount
of patience and discretion. Every one in
Huutiegdon knows that the gentlemen who
have had the matter in charge have left no
stone unturned to bring about 4. favorable re
sult, but without the requisite funds nothing
could he accomplished. The want of these
latter has been the sticking point. While all
subscribed liberally, yet when the time come
for paying over the twenty per cent. very few
had the wherewith to do it, and as a conse
quence the project lagged. Since then it has
been necessary to change the tactics, and to
resort to new measures. It will be remembered
that sometime during last Fall we were re
quested by M. Gobert, who had introduced the
subject of the manufacture of Plate Glass to
our people, and to whom we are indebted for
hlmost all we know about the industry, to say
to our readers that Plate Glass Vorks would
be located in any community offering the best
proposition. We submitted this proposition,
as requested, and not until lately has any
action been taken upon it. About a fortnight
ago a proposition was submitted to us, by the
President of the Plate Glass Works Company
of this place, which we forwarded promptly
to Germany. This proposition is quite liberal,
and we have no doubt will he accepted by
Mr. Gobert and his friends. We speak thus
positively because within the last few days
we have received a letter front Mr. Gobert
under date Rothe Erde, Feby. 28th, 1878, in
which he speaks of a letter written the day
previous to Mr. S. E. Henry, of this place, in
which he repot ts himself as saying: "I am
prepared to let by-gores be hy-goues, and to
make a new start with uim (Mr. Henry) and
asking him how far lie and his friends are
prepared to meet me."
Of course this letter was written before Mr.
Gobert knew anything about the proposition
of Which we speak. We like the spirit of this
letter very much. We have always had un
bounded confidence in Mr. Gobert as a gentle
man and a man of honor. He came to this
country to establish a new industry. Our
people knew nothing about it. He thought
that lie ought to make a handsome compensa
tion out of it. And we think so too. He as
sured our people that they could make from
fifteen to twenty per cent. out of any invest
ments which they might make in it. Like any
good business man he supposed any one seek
ing a good investment would not hesitate to
invest in anything in which so good a per
centage was guaranteed. Our people looked
at it differently, and a misunderstanding oc
curred and this was all that was in it.
Mr. Gobert has been the agent of Gen. B. C.
Gilghman, of Philadelphia, for some time, and
if any of our readers wish to learn anything
in regard to him, they are respectfully referred
to this gentleman, who is now in Europe, and
who can obtain all the information on the
subject if be is not already able to satisfy
those who may inquire in regard to the high
character and standing of his agent.
For the first time in many months we feel
as if there is something to come out of the
Plate Glass Works project. We knew that
our people were in earnest, and that the
gentlemen at the head of it were determined
to pusli the matter to their utmost, but what
could they do without money and experience?
With such a man as M. Gobert at the head of
the project there is no such word as tail.
THE ..kIIDENIIEI3I WORKS.—On Satur
day morning last we spent about an hour at
the Ardenheim Iron Stone Works, locat* one
and a half miles east of this place, now owned
and run by our townsman, U. H. Anderson,
esq. These works have been in operation
about a year, are are to-day among the best
in the country being supplied with all the
modern machinery necessary for the manu
facture of a first-class article of pipe, and we
are pleased to know that Ardenheim pipe is
taking precedence over all others. We wit
nessed the modus operandi of making pipe,
from the time the clay was takes from the
bank up to the ptriod when it was ready for
drying, preparatory to being put into the kiln
for burning, and were surprised to see the
various processes it had to go through before
it was ready for the furnace. The moulding
machine is a ponderous piece of machinery,
but it does its work in an elegant and superior
manner, and the visitor becomes interested in
looking at it taking in the tempered clay and
turning out pipe almost as smooth as glass.
A large kiln, capable of holding thousands of
feet of pipe, stands near the centre of the main
building, and when at white heat, as we found
it on Saturday, it makes one involuntarily
think of a cremation furnace or that other
place about the existence of which Beecher
has some doubts. A tram-way runs from the
base of this kiln, upon which the pipes are
hauled some distance away from the building,
where they are stacked up, or loaded upon
wagons for transportation. During the course
of the present season Mr. Anderson informs
us that he will extend the tram-way to the
track of the P. R. R., so that lit can ship his
wares with very little trouble and at trifling
cost. The clay, a better quality of which can
not be found iu the Union, is inexhaustible,
and so close to the tempering-machine that
it can be thrown into it from the bank, thus
avoiding the expense of hauling or wheeling.
Everything about these works is in excellent
condition, and we are glad to know that their
gentlemanly proprietor is meeting with suc
cess equal to his expectations. The works
presented a hive of industry, and during our
brief visit we found all the employees gentle
manly and courteous, each 'tieing with the
other to give us all the information at their
command.
HUNTINGDON COUNTY FEMALES CO
ING WEST.-it seems that the Western fever
has broken out among some of Huntingdon
County's fair daughters, and that a colony is
about being organized, exclusively of females,
that in the near future will emigrate to Bays
City, Kansas. We were not aware of this
movement until we were advised of it through
the columns of the Hays City Sentinel, and at
present writing we are in the dark in regard
to what section of our county the scheme orig
inated. The Sentinel has this to say :
And now we are pleased. Frora a private
letter to a highly respected citizen of this place,
we learn of the contemplated departure of a
colony of young ladies from Huntingdon coun
ty, Pa., for Hays city. This is calculated to
make the old fogy rub his eyes. Woman may
not vote but where is a law, made by God or
inan,in controvention of her right to emigrate?
A well-known dearth of females exists in the
west, and a scheme like this is full of brilliant
possibilities. As in the old colonial days, an
organization having for its object the furnish
ing of wives to our guileless old bachelors,
might be e&cted, and while we have no to
bacco to swap for maidens, every man can
scare up a load of bones; or, if pushed to the
wall, will give a mortgage on his patch of sod
corn. But seriously, why may not the brave
woman who fights her own battles in the east
where her labor is drudgery and her reward a
pittance, come to the broad, glorious west
where she will be appreciated
. and cherished
and—married.
The above mentioned colony comprises
twelve young., unmarried ladies, educated, in
telligent, and, of course, beautiful.
SPORTING NOTES.—
Johnstown is about organizing a sportsniau's
club.
The trout fishing season opens on the Ist of
April.
- Mr. Sink of Altoona, who has been in Ken
tucky purchasing blooded horses for his con
templated bazaar in that city, arrived home,
a few days ago, with eighteen head of fine
stock.
As the fair ground has been closed to the
Sportman's Club, tbat organization will be
compelled to look up some other suitable
place, which, we fear, will be difficult to find
in close proximity to the borough.
The following is the score made by the mem
bersof the Sportsman's Club at glass ball prac
tice, on Saturday afternoon last :
W.lV.Dorri. lOlOllllOOlOOOl-8

Clearfield sportsmen have organized a rifle
club, and at a meeting for practi'e, a few days
ago, fourteen rifles were in the contest, and
the scores made were very creditable. The
target adopted by the club is a four inch bull's
eye, thirteen inch centre, twenty-six inch in
ner, and outer twenty-four by thirty-six inch
es, just one half the size of the Creedmoor one
hundred yards' target.
We understand that Mr. McCahan has taken
possession of his field, known as the "Fair
Ground," immediately opposite this place, and
that hereafter all persons will be forbidden
from tresspassing upon it. Its loss will be
sorely felt by the sportsmen of our town, as
it has been used for all kinds of sporting pur
poses for several years past ; but it is too val
uable a piece of land to be devoted to this pur
pose without bringing some revenue to its
owner.
Bottom -Rock Prices!
Reduction of 75 per ct. !
The Fifth Street Market Leads !
We have this day /educed the price of
all kinds of Fresh Meats seventy-eve per cent.
The following are the CASH prices for meat
at our establishment:
Best Roasts and Steaks l2ic per. lb.
Boiling Beef.
Chuck Rib Steak
Good Roast and Steak
Green Hams
All other kinds of fresh meats reduced in
like proportion.
The above are oar prices for the present,
and we are determined not to be undersold by
any dealer or huckster in the business.
A rumor is current that we are about to re
tire from business ; but such is not the tact.
We intend to carry on the butchering business
in all its various branches, and while doing
so we will sell meat cheaper than any other
person or firm in the town.
Thankful to the public for past patronage,
we expect, by slaughtering none but the best
stock obtainable, and the enormous reduction
in our prices, to merit a continuance of the
same. PORT & FRIEDLEY.
Huntingdon, March 21, 1878
ORBISONIA ITEMS.—We clip the fol
lowing from the Leader of last week :
We know of four new houses going to be erected in our
town this summer, and several others are being talked of.
D. Miller and A. S. Harrison, of Shirleysburg, intend
starting for Nebraska in a few weeks.
A vein of fossil ore of a superior quality has been
dis
covered at Three Springs, on the farm of E. G. & B. M.
fleck.
On Tues2ay night Mrs. Furst an aged lady who is stop
ping at her mother's, Mrs. Orisinger, went to go out, and
thinking there was a hand railing at the door walked
right off the porch, cutting her head considerably.
J. B. Shen felt, Esq., of Cromwell township, while on a
visit to frien•ls in Blair connty met with an accident
which might have had a fatal termination. lie was
stopping over night at a strange house, on the let instant,
and having occasion to get up in the night, and being
unable to find the light, he tried to group his way down
stairs through the darkness, but being bewildered he
missed the way, and fell from the top of the stairs to the
floor below, breaking his arm below the elbow and bruis
ing his head considerably. Mr S. is very thankful he got
off as Hale as he di I.
During a recent vi.it to the Rockhill Furnaces, we
were struck with the order and system maintained, at
that immense establishment. Everything appears to be
systemised so thoroughly and the works go on sosmoothly
that one involuntarily remarks, how well the men under
stand their business? At the sound of the whistle—a cer
tain signal calling for a certain thing to be done—that
instant it is done ; no failure, no delay. One is naturally
led to inquire the cause of this; and find in A. W. Sims,
the manager of this vast establishment, with the men at
the head of the various departments, the source of the
system. Mr. Sims is a man who has been raised up as it
were, in the railroad and iron business, and believes that
what is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. He looks
after the interests of the corporation with as much care
and watchfulness as he would his own. The Rockhill
Iron and Coal Company have in Mr. Sims, a manager in
whose hands the works will undoubtedly prove successful.
He employs none but the best of mechanics in the
various branches of the business, and expects of them the
same regard fur their employers interests as he has.
The w 'rks ale now making s No 1 article of Iron, and
fl. d a ready vale for it. Work has been going on for
some time on the No. 1 furnace, and the work of relining
it will soon commence
For sonic time past the Company have had experienced
miners prospecting for ore in the vicinity of Shade Gap,
and ore of a very good quality has been found, and we

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCII.—There
was a comfortably filled auditorium at the
Second Presbyterian Church, on Eighth avenue,
last evening, to hear Rev. Mr. Campbell, of
Huntingdon. Since the departure of their
former pastor, Rev. W. Chichester, a few weeks
since, the pulpit has been vacant. Rev. Camp
bell selected for the subject of his discourse
II Kings, second chapter, and twenty-first
verse: "And he went forth into the spring of
the waters, and cast the salt in there, and
said : Thus sai:h the Lord, I have healed these
waters ; there shall not be from thence any
more death or barren land," The reverend
gentleman handled his subject with consum
mate skill, showing by the beautiful language
with which he clothed his thoughts and by
his well rounded periods, a high degree of
scholarship. His style as an orator is easy
and quiet, hut tinished and refined, showing
careful training. his earnestness enlisted and
captivated the tiodived attention of his audience
and held it throughout the sermon.—Altoona
Tribune, of Monday.

VISITORS —Four of llunti ngdon' s young
bloods came to our city, on Saturday evening,
to take in the sights "as well as a little of the
fire water," to be found in our well-regulated
city, and in their tour of inspection and
pleasure, came in contact with a party of our
fire lads, who were intent on having some fun
by themselves. The Huntingdon sports tried
to ring in with the fire boys ; who repelled them
by sundry kicks and slaps in the face, telling
them they did not want any foreign greenies
to mix with them. The visitors to:A it all as
meekly as a school boy taking syrup of squills.
We understand one of the above bloods in
sulted one of our ladies on the street, whereupon
one of the "boys" sent him to mother earth,
with a very unpleasant feeling about his
proboscis, which he certainly deserved.—Al

Proof That Advertising Pais.
The American public is familiar with the Advertising
Agency of Geo. P. Rowell & Co. If any firm doing busi
ness on this continent can afford to "move on" with a
splendid reputation through these hard times, this would
seem to be the one. It is advertised by an appreciative
newspaper fraternity very largely without charge; yet:
in view of all these facts, the list sent us for use next
month, for which they pay a fair price, in money, by the
inch, is devoted largely to their own business. The order
takes us somewhat by surprise, and it would reassure us if
we were disposed to doubt the wisdom of pushing business
through the hardest times. We add for the benefit of the
Thomases who may read that Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell &
Co. come nearer knowing all about the advertising busi;
nese than any other firm, having handled millions and
millions of dollars thus appropriated. Another feature
worth noting is their liberality with "Uncle Sam." They
have doubtless expended more money for postege during
the last quarter of a century than any other firm in the
United States.—Chattanooga limes.
