He has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen. April fool. Court next week Frosty mornings. Monday was a busy day. Apply the whitewash brush. "Johnny Morgan" is all the rage. The country schools are closing. Don't forget the printer next week. Clean up the highways and byways. • Horse photos a specialty at this office. Huntingdon has some dramatic talent. Pennsylvania is valued at $7,000,000,000. The Mountaineer Troupe drew good houses. Where did you move to ? is the question asked. Altoona has a petrified pigeon and numerous "soiled doves." The prettiest girl in Huntingdon abhors barber-pole'hose. The click of the garden spade is heard throughout the land. Huntingdon will have a new public school building this summer. Mary M urray has been appointed postm is tress at Merrell, this county. "To yet" can be seen posted up on houses in all parts of the town. What is to be done to give the laboring man employment this summer ? The weather on Sunday was made up of rain, sunshine and storm. The Treasurer's sale of Unseated Lands will appear in next week's JOURNAL. Cinctionidioe is as effective as quinine and only costs one-fourth as much. The grain, in this county, looks splendidly, There is a fine prospect ahead. A tidal wave of intemperance seems to have struck this place on Saturday last. About 11,000 cords of wood have been cut, during the Winter, for Barree Forges. A blind dog was noticed wandering about 9th and Mifflin streets on Saturday last. John Eberly & G. W. Confer have removed their store from James Creek to Petersburg. "Nude" Jacobs promises to make a good violinist. As an amateur he is bard to beat. The gardner demands "a spade, a rake, a hoe," or anything that will turn up the mellow earth. We had an introduction to the "Juniata shakes" last week. May we never meet them again. The heart of the merchant grows sad when he sees a drummer reach for the knob of his door. A large awning is in course of erection in front of Montgomery's clothing store. on Fifth street. Mr. Goodman is building a very comfortable residence on Muffin between 9th and 10th streets. Dr. E. C Stockton, of this place, preached in the M. E. church, at Birminghaw, on Sun day last. Tuny Pastor's minstrel troupe passed west over the P. R. R., on Fast Line, Sunday evening. Hon. Alex. Port has been confined to his room, for several days past, by a severe attack of quinsy. J. G. Boyer St Co's soap factory, after a sus pension of several weeks, is again in success ful operation. The Presbytery of Huntingdon will bold its next stated meeting at Milroy, Mifflin county, on Tuesday of next week. Rev. M. P. Doyle, of the United Brethren church, filled the pulpit of the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning last. We understand that a new school building will take the place of the "coop" on the bill, during the summer. So mote it be. Consult the columns of the JOURNAL before making your Spring purchases. Our adver tisers sell the cheapest and best goods. The people 'ho have salaries are almost the only persons who are comfortably situated, and who are not annoyed to death by the hard times. The McVeytown Journal has been consider ably enlarged and donned a new head. We are pleased to notice this evidence of pros perity. We don't waut to encourage meanness, but we advise you not to lend your JOURNAL to your neighbor who is as able to pay for it as you are. The Orbisonia Leader : Rev. Doyle, of Huntingdon, preached in the U. B. church, in this place, on Tuesday night. He is a fluent speaker. A neat, bright new floor has been put down in Col. B1)13 Allen's shaving saloon, which adds materially to the appearance of that estab lishment. Remember that the JouroaL Joh Room turns out the handsomest, most attractive and cbeapegt Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf. Our old and life long friend, James Ai. Snowden, esq., of Petersburg has removed, or is about to remove, to Tyrone. We regret this very much. Mr. Speer, the gentlemanly and efficient clerk, at Barree Forges, has bad forty years experience at those works. He ought to un derstand them. According to a decision of Attorney General Lear the tefm of office and duties of assessors, elected at the late February election, began on the Jet inst. A shipwrecked sailor waiting for a sail is like a business man sitting at home nursing a cough or cold. Get Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup and be cured. The man who gets his hair cut in a barber shop on Saturday night when thre are num hers waiting for "next," should also have his ears clipped. The new members of Council were sworn in on Monday forenoon. Burgess Lovell and Councilman Glazier, after a faithful service of their t.rms of office, retired. The large stable, corner of Fourth aed Wash ington streets, belonging to the Farmer's Hotel, has been treated to a coat of whitewash, which adds greatly to its appearance. Our prospective next door neighbor, John R. Flenner, esq., is making some handsome improvements on his residence on Mifflin street, preparatory to his occupancy of it. Saturday last seems to have been set apart for a general drunk, as more drunken men were visible upon our streets on that day than we have seen in any one day for months past. 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 board walks in West Huntingdon are in a miserable condition. The council should see that new ones are laid, or the old ones re paired, so as to insure our citizens against broken limbs. Auditor General Schell has selected our townsman, Maj. E. L. Everbeart, as one of his clerical force, and in doing so he has called to his aid a worthy and competent gentleman. Major, we congratulate you. The most important astronomical event of the year will be au eclipse of the sun, July 29th. There will be a transit of Mereury over the sun's disc, May 6th, and another partial eclipse of the moon will occur August 12th. Robert Lot, well known to every one In this locality, is about again. He is at least so well marked that there will not be any difficulty in identifying him in the future. The boys will have Lots of fun for come time to come. 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. Sunday reminded us of Mrs. Hemen's famous ines, commencing: "All day the low hung clouds Have dropped their ga rn ered fullness down All day the soft gray mist bath wrapt, Hill, valley, grove and town." A visit to Barree Forges last week found Col. Lowry as busy as a nailer. The firm employs about 150 hands, and is pus 'lag mat ters as strongly as the times will admit. They have a large quantity of pigs and blooms on band. ILK, Ellwood Conrad, esq., the gentlemanly fore man in Boyer St Co.'s soap factory, after an absence of several weeks amongst his friends in Montgomery county, has returned to this place, and taken charge of that establishment. Welcome back. That forerunner of Spring now sits upon the projection of the roof, or any elevated por tion of the mansion, and- quickly settles his tiny head to one side,and shrilly pipes, "Pee wee !" Peewee I" with the rising inflection upon the last syllable. The first of April has come and gone ; every body who bad to move did so, and now that they are settled down for another year, only one thing yet remains to be done. That is, subscribe for the JOURNAL, and then your home will be happy, as well as attractive. Are our people trying to make work for our laborers this Spring? Remember the laborer says : "No alms I ask, give me my task ; Here are the arm, the leg, The strength, the sinews of a man, To WORK, and not to beg." The pavement in front ofJ. H. McCellougb's new shoe store, opposite the JOURNAL build ing, presented the appearance of a box factory, on Monday last, upon the arrival of his new goods. Boxes, of all sizes, were piled several feet in heigbth over the sidewalk. He has a rousing stock. We learn from our exchanges that there will be six shows traveling by rail this season, viz : Barnum's, Forepaugh's, O'Brien's, Van Am burgh's, Cole's, and the London, besides a score or more of catch-penny concerns of less pretentious. We hope that Huntingdon will escape the infliction of a show this season. To show that the Western fever is worse this year than it was last, we have only to state that during the month of February eleven hundred emigrant tickets were sold for the west at the Harrisburg depot of the Pennsyl vania railroad, against only half that number during the cortesponding month of last year. Could not some one open an honorable Matrimonial Bureau to bring together honor able and respectable young ladies and gentle men of the extremes of the country? A per son well known for his integrity could conduct a bureau of this kind as well and successfully as employment offices are conducted iu the city. The Hollidaysburg Standard : It is to be hoped that the Central Pennsylvania Con ference, will find time and courage during the present session to issue an authoritative and clear deliverance against those devil's work shops known as modern, fashionable camp meetings, especially against their Sabbath desecration. The Western fever has not abated, in fact it appears to be on the increase. Why does not some oae organize a colony to go South, say to south-west Virginia, or east Tennessee.— On the Sweetwater, in the latter State, we saw the finest farming lands we have seen any where in the United States, and they were not worth more than thirty or thirty-five dollars an acre. The committee appointed to solicit subscrip tions for the purchase of ground for the site of the Normal School buildings, and which was so successful in doing so, is now engaged in collecting said subscriptions, and we hope the liberal-hearted citizens who so promptly subscribed the necessary amount wilt be equal ly prompt in paying it over to the committee. The unfortunate sick traveler, who may have to pass over the Pennsylvania Railroad, can rest assured that the officers in charge of his train will accord him every attention. Having experienced very kind treatment, at the hands of several conductors, on our last return from Philadelphia, we thus publicly thank them. Our thanks are especially due to Conductor VanOrmer. The advantages of liberal advertising are well known, and appreciated by some whole.. souled, energetic business men ; but too many merchants stint themselves in this way of in viting trade. A fair display of advertisements on the part of a merchant or trader is a pretty sure index that he "means business," and will almost certainly attract the custom of those looking for bargains. The Act of Assembly approved the 31st day of March, 1876, (Pamphlet Laws, page 12), re quires the Auditors of every borough and township to meet annually on the second Mon day of April, and audit and settle the accounts of the Supervisors, Overseers of the Poor, and all other township and borough officers except that of School Director, which comes off an nually on the first Monday of June. It was Tom. Hood who made the laborer say, many years ago "Ay, ONLY GIV,E ME WORK, And then you need not fear That I shall snare his worship's hare, Or kill his grace's deer ; Break into his lordship's house, To steal the plate so rich ; Or leave the yeoman that had a purse To welter in the ditch." From the Mt. Union Times we learn that the hardware store of Frank D. Stevens, in that place, was entered, op the night of the 28th ult., by forcing open the window shutters, and that revolvers,pen knives,razors and other articles to the amount of fifty dollars were carried off. The Broad Top Hotel, in the same placekept by Mrs. M. J. Seibert,was also enter ed the same night through a vi indow, and the cash in the drawer with several boxes of segars, and other small articles taken. John A. Copelin, a former Huntingdon typo, but now employed on the Pittsburgh Mail, dropped in to see us on Monday morning last, so greatly changed in appearance that we failed to recognize him until he made himself known. From a mere stripling be has grown to be a large, robust man, and in place of the beardless youth of several years ago he sports a moustache of huge proportions. He is de lighted with the "Sthoky City" and reports himself as prosperous. We wish him success. At a meeting of the School Board held on Monday night last, a resolution was passed declaratory of the purpose of the Board to erect a school building this season, and a committee was appointed to secure plans, &c. This is right. Let the Board stick to this.— Let every man who feels the need of such an improvement, (and who does not, pray ?) sus tain them to the best of his ability. The Huntingdon Common School building has been an eye sore and a reproach long enough, but worse than this it is a perfect pest house. What folly it is for advertisers to depend upon sign posts, dead walls, and word of mouth communications in order to cry their wares to buyers. How can such agencies contend against steam and lightning? Light ning fills the newspaper columns and steam scatters it abroad. Where a signboard meets a casual eye, or a drummer fills a casual ear, the newspaper goes far and wide to man and maid and matron, and speaks with the energy of ten thousand tongues to all the land and every person in it. The man who wishes to do business and yet fails to advertise is behind the age. A few days since a gentleman, of et neigh boring village, was discoursing upon the character of its citizens. "Well," said he, "there are some eight or ten men in our place," and he named them over, "it they were out we would have an excellent town. These busy-bodies make all the disturbance. They keep every one in hot water." What a pity there is no way of getting rid of this class of people. There is plenty of room for them in the West where they could form a colony of their own. They would make an amiable set, but they wouldn't spoil as many communities as they do now. Our highly esteemed friend, and former fel low citizen, Rev. J. C. Clarke, we are pleased to learn, has been appointed Presiding Elder of the Harrisburg District. Mr. Clarke has been stationed at Harrisburg for the past three years, and during that period has acceptably filled the pulpit of the Ridge Avenue church in that city. His promotion to the position of Presiding Elder is a deserved recognition of his services to the church, and his ability to satisfactorily discharge the arduous duties connected with it. We, in common with his hundreds of friends hereaways, congratulate "our Jim" on his good fortune. Quite an excitement was created at the corner of Bth and Washington streets, on Friday last, by the rather sudden appearance of a runaway horse attached to a buggy. The buggy struck the large stone set in on the north-eastern corner of Bth street, and crushed a wheel,whicb sheared off the frightened animal and it plunged against Mr. John Free's picket fence on the opposite side, and crushed it in and badly smashed the vehicle. He was owned by S. S. Smith & Son, and vras frightened by the rapid driving of a courtryman through the street, causing him to break away from the man who was holding him. The entertainments given in the Penn street Hall, on Thursday an i Saturday evenings of last week, and Tuesday of this week, were successful beyond the expectations of those in charge of them. The and ence, on each oc cassion, was large and respectable, and that the performance was satisfactory was eviden ced by the hearty plaudit given throughout the entertainment. As amateur performers this troupe reflected credit upon themselves and also upon their preceptor. We did not learn how much money was obtained,but judg ing from the large audiences present we are in dined to believe that it was a financial suc cess. One of our merchant patrons was consider ably riled, on Tuesday last, at somebody's carelessness. The day previous he dropped a postal card in the post office notifying us that he wanted an advertisement inserted in the JO'HLNAL. Twelve or fifteen hours afterwards we met him in front of our office, when he in quired about his order, and upon telling him that we bad heard nothing of it, be told us of his having sent the postal. On Tuesday af ternoon, after the gentleman had verbally giv en us his order, the card found its way into our box. Uncle Sam's mail arrangements, if this is a sample, aro not a success, and do not speak well for the President's civil service dogma. Nothing further has been learned in regard to the colony of females which we reported, a few weeks since, as being contemplated from this county to Hayes city, Kansas. Young ladies are exceeding young men in numbers largely in all the older States. This grows out of the fact that young men have emigrated to the west, and, since the war, there is other wise a deficiency. If young ladies wish to mate they feel that they must go where mates are to be had, and this is good philosophy.— The only trouble is that it is extremely risky. Unquestionably, at present, marriage is at a discount in the East, and if this continues so for the next half century there is no telling how much our nuptial laws may be modified. James M Swank. esq., Secretary of the American Iron and Steel Association and acting Secretary pro tern of the Pennsylvania Board of Centennial Managers, will please ac cept our hearty thanks for a set of the Final Reports of the Board to the Legislature, trans mitted to that body, with a message from the Governor, on the 20th ult. This Report was prepared by our highly esteemed friend, Hon. A. C. Mullin, Secretary of the Board. Much labor has been spent upon it, and it is there fore extremely valuable. The typography is faultless. The two volumes before us area cred it to all concerned in getting them up. We con gratulate Mr. Mullin in getting so much val uable matter into these books, and the hand some manner in which they come to us from the press. SPORTING NOTES.— It is now legal to catch trout—if you can. Saturday wasn't a good day for breaking glass balls. A twenty five pound wild cat, measuring three feet and nine inches, was shot and killed at Fountain hale, Adams county, the other day. In the glass ball match, on Monday after noon, our friend, D. Caldwell, esq., made the best score and carried the blue ribbon off the field. Ex-Sheriff Henderson has purchased a first class breech-loading shot gun and gone into training for shooting on the wing. He is an apt pupil. The shooting ground, immediately in the rear of the fair field, recently leased by the Sportsman's club, is well adapted to the pur poses for which it is intended. The game and fish law hangs fire in the House, but it matters very little what becomes of it, as these laws are generally treated with contempt by toe game and fish pirates of the State. A rumor was current, in sporting circles, on Saturday last, that a shooting match was to come off, in this place, on Monday afternoon, between the wing-shots of Bedford and Hunt ingdon, but the story turned out to be a ca-' nerd ; perhaps the first of April had something to do with it. A shooting-match for a large bullock, the same that was offered without success in this place and again at Cresson as a prize to Blair and Cambria county marksmen, came off at Carrolltown on Saturday last, and resulted in the following scores, all of which are said to have won prizes, but just how wh.n there seems to have been only one grand prize, we leave the initiated to disclose : Thos. H. Bor key, string 2:4-16 inches ; Joseph Dumm, 2:5- 16 inches ; Thos. P. Dumm, 2:15-16 inches ; Joseph Gray, 3:4-16 inches ; Wm. P. Buck, 3:15-16 inches ; Thos. P. Dumm, 4 inches.— Cambria Freeman, 291 k ult. A shooting match came off on Monday af ternoon, between some of the members of the Sportsman's club of this place. The opposing sides were led by W. E. Lightner and T. C. Fisher as captains,and the following is the re sult of the contest : W. E. Lightner 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1— 9 W.W.Dorris lOOOllOllOOllOl-8 H (1.

As there seems to be a mania in Huntingdon just now for purchasing good guns, and as many of their owners are novices in their use, we think a little advice on this subject will be entirely proper and opportune. Guns should always be carried at the half-coca, as then neither a blow on the striker nor a pull at the trigger will bring the former into action. There is no necessity whatever for a gun to be otherwise than at the half--cock, unless game is immediately in front ; and, further, it may not be out of place to add, that it is dan gerous, when shooting in company,•for the gun to be swung round in taking aim with the fin ger on the trigger. The eye should follow the line of flight, and the gun be raised at the proper moment. Accidents from guns burst ing are rare, bat caution is very necessary in getting ovl fences to sea that no earth gets lodged in the muzzle, or in winter time that the latter does not. get blocked up by snow dripping from bushes or otherwise. These ob stacles, although they may be easily removed, are quite sufficient, if they remain, to burst the strongest barrels when the piece is fired. This is caused by the wonderful velocity of the expanding gases. This expansion, which is said to be at about the rate of seven thous and feet per second, is the same in all direc tions, and the least check at the inuz;le of the gun causes such a sudden increased pressure on its sides that the latter are unable to resist its effect, and are burst open. No one is more cautious or scrupulously careful in the use of his gun than an old sportsman, and no one more readily than lie detects and condemns carelessness in the manipulation of their guns in others.

A memorial service was held in the Baptist church, in this place, on Sunday morning last, with special reference to the late affliction which has passed over the town and the de liverance from the same. Rev. Hunter, took for his text, Job, 19. 25, 26 and 27 : "For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand in the latter day upon the earth]," &c. In the course of his discourse he referred to the fact that in its effects upon the town it was no ordinary affliction affecting a few fam ilies, but that it was more like the death an gel hovering over the entire place, no one knowing into what house the destroyer would next enter. The streets at night were silent, with no voice of youth or manhood. The peo ple realized that a terrible sermon was being preached, and like the Israelites of old, in the land of Egypt, felt like staying in their houses till the pestilence was overpast. It was a gen eral affliction, a sermon which should be laid to heart, and such a one as was never preach ed to us before. The inmates of the houses iu which the disease entered, alone understood the terrible import of this visitation, and re alized it to the fullest extent, when fear de terred their neighbors from visiting them, and when a mark was placed upon their houses indicating that inside of them was death in all its terrors. Many of these families, by the blessing of God, had recovered, but not all. In the town and neighborhood are vacant places, houses that will never be what they were be fore. The music and the life in some of them are gone... _ . . . . In — speaking of those who had fallen victims he paid the following touching tribute to some of the departed : "The first one that fell a victim, and passed through the valley of the shadow of death with this terrible disease, was MARY SNARE, a little girl of about 14 years of age. Strangely, as it seemed, before the final hour of her departure, reason returned, and things began to brighten up. God gave to her a lucid moment in which to speak about the brightness of the land of the hereafter. I rec ollect, at the funeral of.seeing, standing by the open grave, a boy of 11 years of age, her brother, who seemed to weep as if his heart would break at the idea of burying that sister out of his sight, and in about ten days after, God called him, and he went to join her who had gone before him in the better country. When lie died the' family requested Ma. LAMP, a kind neighbor, to come and see if I would attend the funeral. He talked with ate about the disease ; said that he had been where it was, and although afraid of it, he nevertheless felt it to be his duty to do what he could at such a time, and I told bins I would attend the funeral. It was not a great while afterwards till this noble man, with his entire family, was stricken down, and Mr. Lamp yielded to the disease, and died. His wife told me that be fore his death his mind was perfectly clear : he spoke about his departure and seemed to be fearless and resigned, and thus passed away to the spirit land. We feel to-day that in him we have lost a good citizen, a neighbor and a friend ; and we hope that he is sweetly resting, on the other side of the river, where there are no midnight funerals, or funerals of any kind, and where all things are peaceful and happy. Then, I would refer also to one of our congre gation, a man that it always did me good to see, because I never saw a man that had so much sunshine in so black a face. He was al ways in a good humor, and seemed to be en joying what was going on, and to have a kind word for every one as they passed out. I felt sad, and so did the citizens of the town, when we heard that GEORGE WELLS was dead. He was a useful man and a blessing to many, and I hope he has found the land where there is no distinction of color, but where all are washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. Then I come in the last place, to speak of the family of brother and sister CORBIN. If ever a family passed through deep waters they did; and they can now appreciate, as they never did before, the book of the patriarch Job. rhey had known affliction and sorrow before, but never anything like this. Just think of eleven persons in the same house, all stricken down at the same time. Of that fam ily it may be said, as the Patriarch used to putt when asked how many children he had, "there is one that is not." There is one less in that family than there was when the afflic tion entered it. I felt sad when I learned that JOT'S was dead! I had noticed him during the meetings, at the school house, a short time before,with his bright eye and buoyant health, as he listened to the words of life, and I knew that he felt the power of the Spirit of God, trusting that the faithful admonitions and prayers of God's people were fitting him for the heavenly mansions. Some of you can re member of seeing him there, and talking to him about Christ, and the fervent prayers that went up from the father and mother that lie might be led to the Saviour. Poor JOHN ! It pleased God to take him early to the better land. In the fifteenth year of his age, in that terrible house of sorrow and affliction, he pass ed away ; but betore lie died he gave the token that the Saviour was with him. That tongue could no longer speak, except in a whisper, but the mind that before wandered, came back to itself, and when death's hour came lie struck up and sung ",:ome thou fount of every bles sing." When he finished that verse he started with : "I am coming to the cross, Poor and weak and blind." Aye, blind indeed I Be could see no more with the natural eye,— "I am counting all but lost, I shall full salvation find. I am trusting Lord in Thee ; Blest Lamb of Calvary :" And thus his spirit passed away. Did not God give, as Job says, to this child of His, a song in the night? He bad this song; and he will sweetly rest where they laid him, for it was indeed a lonely funeral ; you never paddled up that river before with such sad hearts and so precious a burden, as when you bore him to the grave, and deposited his remains with those who had gone before him, to await the final resurrection at the last day. May God sanctify these afflictions, and may you be able to-day to look up through your tears and sor rows, to the Redeemer, and feel that He lives. REVENUE TAXES —There are some sim pie provisions relating to the revenue taxes on liquors, tobacco, cigars, etc., which aome dealers neglect to post themselves in, thereby laying themselves open to prosecution, and it will prove an item of interest to them, as well as to the general public to know something about the tax regulations. All persons selling spirituous or fermented liquors, tobacco, snuff or cigars must pay a special tax on or before May Ist of each year (or at the time of engag ing in business when they commence after May Ist), and the collector must furnish the necessary stamp denoting that the tax has been paid. This stamp is to be displayed in some conspicuous place, and cannot be transferred, when one person succeeds another, or where a partner in a firm retires, and a new one is taken in. in both cases a new stamp must be procured for the unexpired portion of the year. All persons, whethor dealers or not, are re quired to see that goods purchased by them which are liable to be stampe.i are properly stamped, branded, etc., and such goods must be kept in the original package until it is emptied, at which time the stamps are to be destroyed. The stamp for fermented liquors must be placed directly over the bunghole, and when the fluid is to be withdrawn the spigot or fau cet must be driven through such stamp so as to destroy it. Dealers in malt liquors are not allowed, un der their licenses as such, to deal in other in toxicating liquors, such as wines, bitters, etc., and retail liquor dealers cannot, as such sell five wine gallons or more to any person at any one time. Retail dealers in malt liquors oan not sell more than five gallons to auy person, at any one time. The foregoing area few simple rules as we find them in the regulations for imposing tax, for selling liquor, etc., and they should be ob served carefully by all persons interested, as the penalty for a violation of the law is very severe,—Johnstown Tribune. VERY few, perhaps, of our readers are strangers to the popular dry goods establish ment of Strawbridge & Clothier, Philadelphia, but only those who have visited their store within tie past few weeks can form any idea of the immeuse•assortment, now on exhibition, of those unique French novelties in dress tex tures, which of Me have become so fashiona ble. Forseeing the great demand for these goods, a member of the firm visited the manufactur ing centres of France and personally selected the choicest styles,many of which are confined to themselves and are shown nowhere else in this country.

How TO EXPLODE A LAMP.—The Scientific American gives some of the circum stances which lead to the explosion of kero sene lamps, the philosophy of all of them be ing that the flame may pass down the wick and ignite the vapor which accumulates in the upper portion of the lamp. This vapor is not explosive, as the term is ordinarily understood: but when it is confined so that the gases resul ting from its combustion cannot escape freely in the open air, the vessel confining it will be shattered. The ignition of the vapor may be brought about as follows : 1. A lamp may be standing on a table or mantel, and a slight puff of air from the open window or door may cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or mantel and instantly exploded. 3. A lamp is taken out into the entry, where there is a draft, or out of doors, an explosion ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of stairs, or is raised quickly to place it on the mantel, resulting in an explosion. In these cases the mischief is done by the air move ment—either by suddenly checking the draft or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. 5. Blowing down the chimney to extinguish the light is a frequent cause of explosion. 6. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a piece broken out whereby the draft is variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts a small wick into a large burner, thus leaving considerable space along the edges of the wick, An old burner, with air-draft clogged up, which rightfully should be thrown away is sometimes continued in use, and the final re sult is an explosion. Persons attending court are cordially invi ted to call at SMITH & SON'S and see their splendid array of Organs and Sewing Machines. No trouble to show them. A friend writes under date of Harrisville, W. Va., March 29, 1878 : "Enclosed please find two dollars on sub scription. Will send the remainder as soon as possible. Am sorry I have been so delin qnent. But one thing is evident I shall never let it get so large that I cannot pay at all.— You have already borne patiently with me, but will have to ask a continuation of charity.
