LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention---Home-made and Stolen Pedro Bird concerts. Prepare to flit. Altoona has a ghost. The crocus is in bloom. The weather is changeable. March is on the home-stretch. Flittings are becoming numerous. How about the new school house ? The late cold snap has retarded garden making. It is better to speak kind words than to slander. The war among the grocers still waxes warmer. What is to be done with the small pox hospital? Two days yet, and then those who have to flit must get. The ground was considerably frozen on Monday morning. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon has been absent for a fortnight. The soiled doves of Altoona are haying the'r nests disturbed by the police. The Sunday Item and the Sunday Press can be had at the JOURNAL News Depot. Notices are posted up warning all persons tot to trespass on the fair grounds. The country roads are said to be in splendid condition for this season of the year. L. E. Edwards, esq., of Cassville, spent several days in Huntingdon last week. The Newport Notes has taken a stride back wards by adopting the "patent outside." George Bruner has fitted up, in good style, a room on Penn street for a shaving saloon. The Huntingdon Presbytery meets at Milroy, Mifflin county, ou Tuesday, the 9th day of April. Three or four burglaries were committed in Tyrone last week, neither of which panned out well. The Annual State Sunday School Conven tion will be held at William3port on the 11th o; June. Reader, cast your eye over our advertising columns, and buy from those whose cards are found therein. - Some unannointed scoundrel stole the pump out of the well in the fair field, some time during the winter. The honorable competitor depends on his own ability, he need not abuse his neighbor in the same calling. Mr. Geo. A. Port had to go through fifteen feet of solid slate to obtain water in the cellar of the Fifth Street Meat Market. A number of wen are at work remodeling the Cunningham corner, Fourth and Allegheny streets, for Col. John S. Miller's hotel. The Three Springs Herald is a dingy look ing sheet, and its typography would do dis credit to a "devil" of three months' experience. "Dad" Lewis, the Penn street grocer, makes a portable sign board out of his delivery wagon, and some of his bulletins contain decided hits. The best physicians assure us that Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is a reliable and never failing remedy. Ail druggists keep it. 25 cents a bottle. Remember that the JOURNAL job Room turns out the handsomest, most attractive and cheapest Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf. Prof. R. M. McNeal, County Superintendent, will hold the examination for teachers of the public schools of this place on Saturday, March 30, in the old school building. The members of the Town Council, elected at the late Spring election, will be sworn in on Monday evening next, and enter upon their gratuitous and thankless duties. A Waverly (N. Y.) school mistress has been discharged because, for the amusement of the children during recess, she stood on her head. One of the trustees chanced to see the feat. We understand that deeds have been executed for the lots selected as the site for the Normal School building, and that the work of excava tion will be commenced in a very short time. - By a recent law it is a penitentiary offense to deface silver coin. Those who are in the habit of indulging in this pastime will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. t" Walter Burkey, a brakeman on the Western Division of the P. R. R., was killed in Altoona, on Monday morning last, by being struck by a shifting engine. His body was shockingly mutilated. Sale bills printed at this office, at very reasonable figures, and the sale inserted in the JOURNAL for a trifling advance. Every one ought to advertise their sales in the news papers. tf. The old man who had a shooting gallery in the third story of the post office building pulled up stakes, on Saturday morning last, and struck for a better paying territory than he found in Huntingdon. Since the great reduction in the price of all kinds of fresh meats, by Messrs. Port &Friedley, their Fifth Street Market has presented a busy scene, customers crowding their counters from dewy morn to dusky eve. 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. The extensive awning, on the west side of Fifth street, is a capital place, on a rainy day, for Sunday street loafers to congregate, as was evidenced by the large crowd gathered there on Sunday afternoon. Two miners, named Cruse and Nash, were seriously poisoned, at the Frankstown mine, in Blair county, on Wednesday of last week, by drinking coffee supposed to contain arsenic. The case is shrouded in mystery. Heavy overcoats, which had been put away during the pleasant weather of the past couple of weeks, were bunted up and donned age in on Sunday last to protect their owners frdm the piercing winds which prevailed. A man named John D. Vroora, was arrested in Woodcock Valley, and lodged in jail, on Wednesday of last week, on the charge of stealing horses in New Jersey. He was taken to that State on Tuesday morning last. Our friend, Geo. A. Port, esq., instead of making an assignment—as some black-hearted scoundrel circulated—has had assigned to his care an heir of the female persuasion, in view of which fact he wears the blandest of smiles Beer drinkers, take a squint at this : Out of eighty nine samples of beer, and of materials used in the brewing of beer, examined last year by the British Inland Revenue authorities, sixty-one were either adulterated, or of it legal ingredients. We have the finest "horse cuts" in the State, and are prepared to get up horse bills in a style superior to any other office in this sec tion. Owners of horses will please remember this fact when they are ready to have their posters printed. tf. Persons of an observing turn of mind inform us that the winter grain does not look as well as it might, probably owing to the frequent changes in the weather from hot to cold.— They, however, incline to the opinion that it is not permanently injured, and predict good crops. You can scarcely throw a stone in the street, these days, without hitting a man with a package of samples in his possession ; in other words, the town is over-run by "drummers" from the east trying to dispose of their wares. A lively competition is kept up among these gentry. Those of our subscribers who change their post office address this Spring should inform us of the fact promptly, in order that they may receive the JOURNAL at their new homes. In writing to have your address changed please state the name of the office to which the paper i• now sent. Dr. Thomas Rothrock, of Centre county, who was recently tried for the crime of abor tion, the jury failing to agree, was arrested the other day and committed to prison to answer a similar cbarge. The `victim to this case is a Mrs. Ettele, of Bellefonte, who died from the effects of the operation. Rev. J. W. Ely, pastor of the Methodist church, at Logan, Mifflin county, and well known to a number of our citizens, having resided in this place for a year or more, some time ago, has been sent to the Insane Asylum at Harrisburg for treatment, as for some months past be has exhibited serious symptoms of in sanity. On Friday evening of last week the barn of Mr. George Stuckey, in Napier township, Bed ford county, with seven horses, thirteen head of cattle, two calves, twenty-five tons of hay, 300 bushels of oats, and a large lot of farming utensils, were destroyed by fire. A colored boy in Mr. Stuckey's employ confessed that he set the barn on fire for fun, and he had it. He now reposes in jail. Rev. A. N. Hollifield, of Huntingdon, Pa., visited our town during the past week, and officiated in the Presbyterian church. He was welcomed by large and appreciative audiences. His sermons were ones of eloquence and power, and were listened to in a serious and becoming manner. His numerous friends and admirers were loth to see him depart, but "man pro poses and God disposes."—.lleVeytown Journal, 21st inst. Yenter's property, on Penn street, in this borough, a large three-story brick house, with two store-rooms, residence, brick warehouse, and a half lot of good ground attached, was sold at Assignee's sale, on Thursday afternoon of last week, to Mr. Fred Moebus for the sum of $1,563. A mortgage in favor of J. P. An derson's heirs, for $4500, is against the property, but still we think that Mr. Mobus has a decided bargain. as it cost Mr Yenter nearly $5,000 to erect the buildings. As the county will, in a few weeks, be in possession of a full silver currency, and as natural result there will be a perceptible in crease of counterfeits, it would therefore be well for our citizens to fortify themselves against this species of deception. The follow ing is an infallible detector 9,nd is used in the United States Mint : Nitrate silver, 24 grains ; nitric acid, 15 grains ; water, 2 ounces. It should be mixed well and shaken. The least drop upon a bogus coin will instantly turn the counterfeit black. The concoctipu can be had at the drug store, and will cost about fifteen cents.—Ex. The communication of "Orthodox - is en tirely too personal, even were it not on a subs ject that we do not wish to have discussed in our columns, to warrant our publishing it.— We throw our columns open for the ventilation of all subjects save that of religion. There are certain journals devoted to this branch of human knowledge, and we hand all such mat ters over to them. Most of men and women are very sensitive on this subject and, there fore, kick up their heels badly whenever their pet schemes or zealous views are entrenched upon, consequently we do not feel like pro voking any of them, and not having much re ligion of our own of which to boast, we are perfectly willing to exclude its discussion from our columns. - The Western fever still rages, and scarcely a train passes which does not carry a little company towards the setting sun. The Belle fonte Watchman talks such good sense in the follov%ing paragraph that we lay it before our readers : 'We propose hereafter to put an embargo on Kansas letters in the Watchman. They are all so glowing, of such a roseate hue, that we fear many people may be deceived by them. Kansas may be a land flowing with milk and honey for aught we know, but it takes work to extract it from the soil there as elsewhere. One can't go to Kansas without a little money. The circulating medium don't grow on trees there any more than it does in Pennsylvania, and emigrants ought to under stand this before they start. It Isn't well to believe all one reads in a Kansas letter." SPORTING NOTES.— We understand that a coupe of our amateur sportsmen have invested in a pair of blooded hunting dogs. Benjamin Beers, of White township, Cam bria county, captured an otter, a few days ago, which measured four feet four inches in length. Huntingdon will compare favorably, with any town of her population in the State, in the number of her crack shots and superior breeds of hunting dogs. The strip of ground. immediately back of the fair grounds, recently occupied by R. S. Westbrook, and known as the “Elysian Bow er," has been leased by Mr. McCaban to the Sportsman's Club, of this place, for shooting purposes. It will answer capitally for the use it is intended. Trough Creek Valley, we are informed, boasts of two rifle clubs, one in Cassville and the other in a different section of the Valley. The Cassville club met for practice, one day last week, and out of a possible twenty-five made the following score : Dr. J. C. Hamilton 4 5 4 5 4-22 Silas Prough D. Noble. W. E. Wilson -20 L. E Edwards 5 5 4 4 5-23 The contest between Blair and Cambria county marksmen, previously referred to in our Sporting Notes,came of at Ebensburg, on Saturday, the 16th inst., and resulted in a vic tory for the Cambrians. We clip the following particulars of the match from the Cambria Herald, published at Ebensburg : A purse of $6O was raised and divided into four prizes. The distance shot was seventy yards off hand, or 100 yards at rest. The first prize of $3O was won by Henry Behe, of Carroll township, who made a string of 1 inch and 5- 16 ; the second prize, $l5, was won by Lou. Rodgers, of this place, who made a string of 2}; the third prize of $lO, was won by Wm. Sides, of Barr township, who made a string of 2 inches and 13-16 ; the fourth prize, $5, was won by M. M'Cartney, of Blair county, who made a string of 3 inches. The champion shot of this or any other country is Dr. W. C. Carver, of San Francisco, Cal. From the Forest and Stream we learn something definite concerning his shooting. He broke 233 glass balls out of 281 with a Winchester rifle, 44 calibre. The balls were thrown into the air from 20 to 50 feet high, the pitcher standing 15 yards distant. At a match of the same kind in Oakland, Californict, using a Ballard 22 calibre rifle, he broke 237 out of 300, the pitcher standing eight yards distant. On the 22d of February he wagered $5OO that he could break 750 out of 1,000 glass balls, with a rifle he to shoot any distance he saw fit. He shot 20 feet and broke 885 balls out of the 1,000, the time, including all stop pages, being three hours and three minutes. He has sent to the offic . . of the F. 4- S. a sil ver five-cent piece and a half doliar n hich were shot through and through with a rifle ball, and a correspondent says, "There is no humbug about his shooting. He can hit alO cent piece almost every time when it is thrown in the air." He will come east April 15th, when we will probably hear something more of his wonderful shooting. Altoona sportsmen have formed a club and occasionally meet for practice at glass ball shooting. At a meeting on Friday last, Messrs. Eaby and Davis, members of the club, did some good shooting, tieing each other three times before the contest was decided. The first shooting was done at 18 yards rise. We copy the following score from the Tribune: J.N.ED.by 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1-16 J. Davis. 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1-16 The distance was then changed to 21 yards rise, eight balls, three to each marksman, and resulted as follows : FIRST TRIAL. Eaby ... Davis .. SECOND TRIAL Eaby .. Davis .. • The third and last trial was then had, re sulting in a victory for Eaby : Eaby... Davie.. The above exhibits good marksmanship, but we can assure our contemporary that "Hunt ingdon ehootists" are ready to risk their "lau rels" in a friendly tilt at the balls whenever such a contest is desirable to your crack shots.

[mcb29-3t DEATH OF FRANK MOULTRIR.—Last week we briefly mentioned the untimely fate of poor Frank Moultrie. We desire now to pay a more lengthy tribute to this noble son of the Palmetto State. A whiter spirit t ran Frank's never left as sable a body. A more noble, generous, hospitable, unselfish and patriotic descendant of Ham never lived.— Born in the hot-bed of treason he compre hended the enormity of slavery, and the desper ation of its advocates. He related to us, many times, the precautions made use of by the slaveocracy to keep their human property.— How they told all manner of terrible tales of the horrible Yankees. How they were repre sented as being worse than cannibals. He would take great delight in telling how he played off on his old mistress. He always convinced her that he believed all she told him in regard to them. He assisted, night after night, for many months, to secrete and feed escaped Union prisoners. No labor for the Union cause was too severe or too exact ing. At last he determined to free himself from bondage, but, after a desperate effort to break through, he was captured, and sent back to his old mistress. He made her believe that the Yankees carried him off. She re moved from the sea-coast away into the in terior of the State where the Yankees would not be able to reach him. Again he came to the aid of the Union prisoners fleeing from Andersonville and Millen. At last, if we re member correctly, Sherman came down on his grand march to the sea, and Frank packed up, bag and baggage, and headed for the coast, nor did he stop until Mason and Dixon's line was between him and the place of his nativity. He found his way to Saxton, Bedford county, where he went to work at once. He could not read nor write, but he was possessed of extremely strong, good, common sense. His memory was excellent, and his understanding very seldom, if ever, brought confusion. His activity was astonishing. He had a very high sense of honor. He scorned a mean thing. Prompt in his business rela tions, and strictly honest, be soon won the confidence of those around him. He was ex tremely careful of his own interests, but with a very high appreciation of the rights of others. He soon acquired property, and manifested social independence. lie was the most ardent and zealous advocate of men and measures favorable to his race. He every where, and under all circumstances, defended the rights and interests of the down-trodden black man. He was an ardent Republican out of gratitude. It was through his Re publicanism, and his disposition to sustain those who were friends of his race, that Te first made his acquaintance. To illustrate the character of the man we will relate the incident. In the Fall of 1870 we were a can didate for District Attorney in the county of Bedford. On the day of the election a silent enemy, made so by some trivial business trans action, in which, in all probability, both parties were to blame, stood at the window and gave out Republican tickets upon which our name was erased. About half after noon Frank Moultrie came to vote. A ticket was handed to him. It was not supposed that lie would question. He asked to have it read over.— When our name was reached and not read, he quickly inquired why our name was scratched off. The answer was not satisfactory.. He promptly said excitedly : "I want to vote for this entleman. I understand be is a friend of t e colored man." Another ticket was given him, and having satisfied himself it was all right, he voted it. The incident drew at tention to the fact that we were being "cut" and created considerable excitement. He was extremely cautious. He relied only on those that experience taught him were honest and honorable. Such was poor Frank Moultrie ! Of lowly extraction, but with a manly make up that would have done honor to the best of the Caucasian race. Born, reared, and tutored in slavery, yet in nobility not exceeded by the most favored in our land. How few, alas ! of those who surround us are entitled to the tribute of this poor negro 1 Would to God that every one we meet were as fuily possessed of nobility, honesty, generosity, and patriotism as this pror Ethiopian. THE NEW TURN IN THE PLATE GLASS WORKS PROJECT.—The last letter, received by us from Mr. Gobert, states his new views on the Plate Glass question. He says, in speak ing of the letter he had written to Mr. Henry : , ‘I have also explained to him my new views on the Plate Glass question. i. e. abandoning, for the present, the idea of building a casting hall in America. Instead of that I propcse an alliance with European works, and buying the rough glass from them, thus securing their good-will for the mechanical part whichre mains to be done in America. For the present the American too has more advantage to work in that way, paying a duty of 4 cents a foot on rough plate, and having to protect itself a duty of 50 cents on polished plate, thus an advance of 46 cents for the mechanical part only. Another great advantage is : starting with a smaller capital, and not having to-con tend, in the beginning, with all the difficulties of the casting hall." The italics are ours. We simply understand this proposition to mean this : For the present all European, especially French, German and Belgium Glass, intended for the American trade, will be brought here Os the rough, at a duty of four cents per square foot, and will be polished at this place. And by the time Con gress gets ready to increase the duty on rough glass Huntingdon will be prepared to manu facture all the glass she can handle. It would take a comparatively short time to prepare for the matter in this shape. The Car Works could readily be converted into a polishing establishment, and many hands could be put to work in a few months. The rough plate could be shipped by canal to this place from the sea-board, and four-fifths of the polished article would be shipped from here West. The West buys much more of this kind of glass than the East. The rapid growth of the West indicates this. Eastern business does not ex pand so fast, consequently there is not so much plate glass frontage required. Let Huntingdon become the polishing point, and it will soon become the centre of a mag nificent plate glass trade that must develop into untold wealth and prosperity. 4 4 5 4 4-21 ... 4 4 4 4 4-20 A SADLY AFFLICTED HOUSEHOLD.— The Angel of Death Visits it Twice Inside of Twenty-four llours.-0 a Saturday morning last, Richard Langdon, jr., who has been con nected with the Sandy Run Coal Company's office, in Philadelphia, for the last year, was brought to this place, by his brother, Samuel Langdon. Richard had become suddenly ill and it was thought that he had better be brought to his home, in this place. He walk ed up from the station to the residence of his father, on the corner of 4th and Church streets. He immediately took his bed and at 8 o'clock or thereabouts, on Saturday evening he ex pired. He had been subject to severe hemor rhages for several years. The family were terribly shocked at this unexpected event. His mother wis fearfully broken up. Grief, indescribable, lodged in her breast. On Sun day evening, she manifested symptoms of heart disease, and by 8 o'clock, or in 24 hours after the death of her son, she too was a corpse. This sad, sad event threw a pall over the en tire community. It is, in all probability, the first instance of the kind in the history of the county. The father; too, has been very ill, and not expected to live, but he is recovering. The sorrow-stricken household has the entire sympathies of the community. May a long period elapse before we have to record as sorrowful and as mournful an event. The funeral took place at 11 o'clock Tues day forenoon, and was one of the largest ever seen in this place. The bodies were both buried in one grave, and as they were lowered to their last resting place many an eye,unused to weeping, was wet with tears of pity and of sorrow. It was a sad sight, and one that will not soon be forgotten by the hundreds of citi zens, neighbors and sympathizing friends who were gathered about the double grave to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed. Mrs. Langdon was an estimable lady, and her loss will be sorely felt, not only in the family circle, but by the many friends who loved her for her many good qualities.

THE OLD MOUNTAINEER DRAMATIC TaoreE.—This troupe is made up of home tal ent, and will appear in the Penn Street Opera House, on Thursday,Saturday and Tuesday ev enings of this and next week, and play several pieces of merit.

En courage them by giving them crowded houses. 1 1 1-3 1 1 1-3 .. 1 1 1-3 ~. 1 1 1-3 1 1-2 1 0-1 SCOUNDRELISM.—Within a day or two past some unprincipled scoundrel, in this place, has circulated that our next door neigh bors, Messrs. Pert & Freidly, had made an as signment for the benefit of their creditors. We are pleased to say that such is not the case, and that there is no cause for such a proceed ure. Mr. Port requests us to say that that he is prepared to pay, on demand, all accounts against their firm. The man who will give cur rency to such a rumor has a heart black as Hades, and would not stop at murder to ac complish his ends. Don't buy worthless Water Pipe. Get the reliable Ardenheim Pipe. Sep. 7-tf. FASHION NOTES.— Neckties are broader. Side pleatings are still in favor. Short street dresses grow in favor. “Richelieu" ribbed hosiery is new, Beige is a favorite color for Spring.

Applique embroidery is something entirely new and very handsome. Bunches of ostrich tips will be used for gar nishing hats and .bon nets. Tissue de toile is a new transparent linen fabric for summer dresses. Quadrille a Neippe is the name of a new French material for Spring. DECIDED AT LAST.—The question as to the status of William M. Lloyd, of Altoona, in the bankruptcy court, was finally settled yes terday by Judge McKennan, after a running fight of two years and five months. In No vember, 1875, some of his creditors asked to have him adjudicated, and he denied that they were enough in number and amount to form a legal quorum. He filed a schedule, showing his liabilities to be $1,016,000. Register Shafer decided it contained the names of a legal majority. This report was overruled by the court, the Judge decided that the amount was $91,000 below the sum necessary. The creditors then filed an amended petition, in which claims representing $132,600 were add ed. Lloyd's counsel, Messrs. Blair, of Hol lidaysburg, and Kennedy, of this city, took exceptions to the report, and cn the 13th of September last the exceptions were overruled. On the 13th of December following, the Dis trict Court decided that the amended petition was sufficient in value and amount. Lloyd's counsel then appealed to the United States Circuit Court, and yesterday the argument on a bill for review was beard. Messrs. George M. Reade, of Ebensburg, and George Shires, Jr., spoke for the petitioning creditors and Me re. Blair and Kennedy for Lloyd. Judie McKennan decided that a bill of review would not lie and dismissed it. The proceedings were immediately certified into the United States District Court and Judge Ketcham made an order directing the debtor to make answer within five days to the petition for adjudica tion. The case is of great interest to people in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, as Lloyd did an extensive business in all those States. It is alleged that in October, 1875, the debtor made a fraudulent assignment. Yesterday's order sets aside the assignment, whether the allegation be true or false.—Pittsburgh Tele graph 16th. BARN BURNING.—The following from an exchange is very truthful. The species of deviltry now abroad in the land is barn burn ing. During the past several months we have noticed the destruction by fire of quite a num ber of barns in adjoining counties, with vain able contents. Since the advent of the tramp nuisance this sort of conflagrations have be come more than usually common, leading to the belief that these wandering vagabonds have something to do with them. The crime is increasing with the increase of the nomads, and if the thing is kept up much longer farm ers and others will have to make summary work of these voluntary outlaws. There are, doubtless, many deserving tramps afloat, made so by the stringency of the times and the depression in labor, who would gladly work if it. was offered them ; but they will have to suffer with the undeserving because of the impossibility of discriminating between them. Farmers, for their own protection, will be compelled to keep this dangerous element far from their premises, even if it should be at the expense of a Southern innovation—the shot-gun policy. The Legislature, and county and municipal authorities seem to be incapa ble of devising any law for the repression of the tramp nuisance. The nomads are adepts in evading all laws of purely human inven tion, and nothing short of the shot-gun, nitro glycerine or Paris green will be able to com pete with them. The cure may appear too harsh and radical, but it may have to be resorted to rather than our farmers shall lose their barns, crops and stock by the torch of these wandering incendiaries. The Model Subscriber. "Good morning, sir; Mr. Editor, how are the folks to-day ? I owe you for next year's JOURNAL-I thought I'd come and pay, And Jones is agoin' to take it, and this is his money here ; I abut down lending it to him, and then coaxed him to try it a year. And here are a few little items that happened 13.8 week in our town; I thought they'd look good for the paper, and so I just jotted 'em down. And here is a basket of "goodies" my wife got expressly for you; And a small bunch of flowers from Jennie—she thought she must send something too. You're doing the politics bully, as all our family agree; Just keep your old goose quill a flappin, and give 'em a good one for me. And now you are chuck full of business, and I won't be taking your time, I've things of my own I must 'tend to—good day, sir, I believe I must climb." The editor sat in his sanctum, and brought down his fist with a thump, "God bless the old farmer," be vauttered, "he's a regular jolly old trump." And 'tis thus with our noble profession, and thus it will ever be still; There are some who appreciate its labor, and some who perhaps never will; But in the great time that is coming, when Gabriel's trumpet shall sound, And they who have labored and rested shall come from the quivering ground ; What they who have striven and buffered to teach and ennoble the race, Shall march at the head of the column, each one in his God-given place, As they march through the gates of the city, with proud and victorious tread, The editor and his assistants will travel not far from the head.

That by his sudden and unexpect ed death the first break has been made in our membership, and by his frank, generous, kind and open-hearted disposition, he was greatly endeared to us all as a friend and associate. 2d.

That we at this time especially recall to mind the zeal and efficiency which he exercised in procuring the Company's apparatus and in other matters pertaining to its successful organizations and the hearty interest which he at all times after wards, to the time of his death manifested in it, welfare. 4th.

MILITARY ELECTION —As per an nouncement, a number of officers of the Fifth regiment National Guard of Pennsylvania, met at the Leister House, in this place, on Friday evening last, for the purpose of elect ing a Colonel to fill the vacancy occasioned by the recent death of Col. Wilson. Amongst the military present were Lieutenant Colonel Burchfield and Quartermaster Munson of Altoona, Captains Davis and Woleslogle of Cambria county, Paymaster Hastings of Belle fonte, and others whose names we were unable to obtain. The election came off at 8 o'clock in the evening and resulted in the unanimous selection of Lieut. Col. Burchfield without a ballot. The Colonel is very popular with the regiment and his election was a foregone con clusion. The election of Col. Burchfield made a vacancy in the Lieutenant Colonelcy which 'and to be filled at this meeting. An election for this purpose was then proceeded with, and result ed in the selection of Paymaster Hastings of Bellefonte. We had the pleasure of a friendly - chat with the printer Colonel of the Fifth, who went through an inspection of the JOURNAL estab lishment on Friday afternoon, and we found him a very -!lever and social gentleman. Col. Burchfield has had considerable experience in military matters, and under his command the Fifth regiment will take rank among the best military organizations of the State, CURE FOR CATARRH.—A writer in the Chicago Tribune's " Home Department" claims that the following is a simple and immediate cure for colds in the head, sore throat, asthma, sore nostrils, etc. The remedy is crushed cupid berries smoked in a pipe, emitting the smoke through the nose; after a few trials this will be easy to do. If the nose is stopped up so that it is almost impossible to breathe, one pipeful will make the head as clear as a bell. For sore throat, asthma, and bronchitis, swal lowing the smoke effects immediate relief. It is the best remedy in the world for offensive breath, and will make the most foul breath pure and sweet. Sufferers frow the most horrible disease, ulcerated catarrh, will End this remedy to be unequaled, and a month's use will cure the most obstinate case. A single trial will convince any one. Eating the uncrushed berries is also good for sore throat and all bronchial complaints. After smoking do not expose yourself to cold air fir at least fifteen minutes. The berries are perfectly harmless, and there is no use going to "catarrh doctors" while you can procure this remedy. They can be procured at any drug store. WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER.—Nothing presents a sadder commentary upon the pres ent condition of society than the large number of families, both in town and in the country, but more especially in the latter, that sub scribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families are thus growing up utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in the world around them—ignorant of the mighty events of the day. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is being inflicted upon the rising generation—those who are to take our places in the busy world at no distant day growing up without knowledge of the present, or any study of the past; this ignorance, too, being imbued into them by the sanction of those who shonld, and doubtless do know better, did they only think of the injurious effect of their insane course. Let the bead of every family think of this, and place in the bands of those whom he is responsible for, the means of acquiring some knowledge of the moving panorama in which we act our differ ent parts. 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.

TBE GREENBACKERS. LITTLE TROUGH CREEK, March 11th 1878. EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir :—As I have not seen anything from this section, for a time, in the poor man's friend, the JOURNAL, I have concluded to scratch you a few lines in order to let you and the rest of mankind know that we are still trying to live. Were it not that "while there is life there is hope," we would long since have ceased trying. But when men's corns are tramped hard enough they will holler or go for the oppressor in some way. We have been tramped hard enough this long time, and have halloed, but as yet it has not amounted to much. We have been taught from childhood that he who won't help himself shall not be helped by any body.— Now while we accept the injunction, iudi- N idually, we'think It is equally as applicable taking it collectively, hence we seized the op portunity to denounce old party Ces, and if I am not mistaken, you will not hear much of Republicans or Democrats from this neck of timber. It was announced that there would be a Greenback meeting at Sheridan school house on the night of the Bth inst., and there was quite a crowd gathered. Mr. Daniel Kyper and Mr. Miller, of Oneida township, were present. Mr. Kyper read the constitution and by-laws of the Greenback organization, after which a discussion was opened, which was participated in by quite a number. Next came the invitation to join the organization, which was responded to by a majority of those present. The election of officers was next in order, which resulted as follows : President, Levi W. Pheasant; Vice President, Geo. Roland ; Secretary, J. Madison Wright ; Treas urer, D. W. Fink. The meeting adjourned to meet at Pine Grove school house, on the night of the 14th inst. The best of feeling pre vailed. No one thought worth while to ad vocate the cause of the bond holder, or the bloated money shaver, nor even to appeal to parties, only to denounce the actions of all. The club met at Pine Grove on the night of the 14th. The meeting was addressed by J. W. Scott, of Eagle Foundry, and others. An invitation was given to any who wished to join the club, and every voter present, who resides in Union township, joined the club, after which the meeting adjourned to meet at Calvin school house on the night of the 21st. This, of course, is hardly a drop in the bucket. But our opinion is that but two things are necessary to insure success, viz : First, un ceasing perseverence. Second, the nomina tion of men of known worth and character. But I am intruding on too much of your space, and must close for the present. GREENBACKER. TROUGII CREEK VALLEY. TROUGH CREEK, March 25th, 1878, EDITOR JOURNAL -Dear Sir:—ln perusing your valuable paper, week after week, I see you have correspondents in almost all the important places in the United States except Trough Creek, which, I think, ought not to be left out in the cold. I see you advocate the interests of the laboring class heartily, and this being the case prompts me to drop you a few lines which I feel sure you will give a place in your valuable columns if you have the space, and see that it is worth printing, although it may give you a peck of trouble to read, punctuate, and put the grammar into it. Trough Creek has been, and is yet, some what important. At the time of its first set tlement it was almost a wilderness of white pines, a few only of which remain with their evergreen tops towering over a hundred feet above the surface. The land is principally red shale, underlaid (though very deep) with gray limestone. The land is said to have pro duced, at one time, 25 to 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, but it has been run down miserably of :ate. There seems to be, (through com pulsion), a revolution. Folks are getting to limeing considerably. Trough Creek used to have the name of having the smoothest roads in all the country, but of late some folks have conceived an im provement by filling every little mnd hole with mountain sandstone, broken, which invariably makes two mud holes instead of one. This might do for a change for those who lova variety. But still later we have another im provement in Union township, that of hauling stone, (a great many of which are as much as a man wants to lift), and throwing them promiscuously into the mud in the middle of the road, and leaving theta without breaking. We don't mind some large stones in our mountain roads, where stones are plenty and cheap, but we do abominably hate to drive through two mud holes so close together, with a stone quarry between them, especially when it is as expensive to make the quarrys as it is in this valley, the stone being from one halt mile to a mile to haul, while good gravel can be had at half the distance, which would leave the road almost as smooth as a floor.— We are glad to see that there is a bill offered in the legislature providing for the letting of roads by contract. This is what we have been needing fcr a long time. It would give some labor to some poor men, and I am sure that private individuals would not be allowed to obstruct the 'roads as has been done this winter. TAX—PAYER. DON'T BE DECEIVED.
