A friend tells us : "There is a little eight
by-ten den of iniquity in this town where

drinking done, than there is in all the licensed

it at night by the light of the proprietor's
nose."

Huntingdon county is getting through the
panic with a very small accumulation of debt.
The sum will hardly exceed $lO,OOO, and when
the fact is taken into consideration that all
money at interest on mortgages and entered
judgments is exempt from taxation, in addition

A gang of drunken rowdies, on Thursday
night last, broke down the sign in front of
Chaplin's barber shop, on Fifth street, and

conduct, and is only indulged in by those who
are rendered simple by au over-dose of rot
gat whiskey.
S, B, Woollett, eq., the clever host of the
"American House," Nit. Union, has provoked
the enmity of some of the temperance people
of that place, and they are resisting his ap
plication for license. If they want to kill the
town as dead as a hammer they have only to
close up all the hotels. It may be a sad com
mentary upon morals, but it is nevertheless
as true as preaching.
Rev. Charles H. Mead, for several years
past Rector of St. John's Episcopal church, in
this place, took his departure for Ohio on
Wednesday of last week. During his stay in

dation. He leaves many warm friends behind
him, who wish him God-speed in his new field
of labor.

burn, general agent of the National Immigra
tion Bureau at Philadelphia. They were en
route for Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Wisconsin
and other Western States.
Oneida street, in the northern portion of the
town, was the scene of considerable noise and
confusion, at a l'ite hour on Sunday night,
occasioned by the visit of some of the down
town ' , bloods" to a bagnio in that locality..—
A. resident in the neighborhood ordered them
away, when they let drive at him with stones,
but when he called for his revolver the party
broke acid run 7 and in their flight one of them
stumbled and fell, performing acrobatic feats
that would compare favorably with some of
the stars of the saw-dust arena.
The poet sings :
Potato bugs are budding out,
We see the hopper's fitful gleam,
And now the coy and toothsome trout
Cavorts within his native stream;
And now the bluebird chants a lay—
And robins twitter in the trees—
The bullfrog's murmurs all the day,
Come floating on the balmy breeze,
The ground hog issues from his hole
And browses on the corn, poor thing—
These omens to the poet's soul
Are harbingers of sarly spring.
The store of Michael Putt, of Stonerstown,
Bedford county, was robbed one night last
week of a large amount of goods. The thief
bored some fifty-two holes in the door before
be succeeded in effecting an entrance. He
first bored out the lock, and then learned that
there was a cross-bar to get out of the way,
but he found it more convenient to bore a hole
to admit his person. lie filled two large bags
full of goods and carried them into a laurel
thicket on the farm of George Berkstresser,
esq., where they were discovered by a small
boy and recovered. The thief, supposed to be
a man named Lowry, from Fulton county, es
caped.
An alarm of fire was sounded about 9'oclock
on Monday morning last, and in less time than
it takes us to write this the "Huntingdon"
boys and the "Hookies" were on their way to
the supposed scene of conflagration, but for
tunately by the time they had reached Sixth
and Penn streets they were informed that the
fire bad been extinguished. The alarm was
occasioned by the roof of a house in Portstown,
occupied by "Johnny" Westbrook, taking fire
from a spark thrown upon itby a passing loco
motive. There are several buildings in that
locality whose roofs should be made fireproof,
as their close proximity to the track of the H.
& B. T. R. R., renders them liable to be fired a
dozen times a day.
SPORTING NOTES.—

be counted in the trials for the championship.
THREE SPRINGS ITEMS.—
The following items are taken from the
Three Springs Herald :
P. W. Grissinger will farm for R. Ashman
this summer.
Mr. John Ebrenfelt one of our shoemaker's
packed his kit and will remove to Newport. Pa.
The late M. E. Conference has returned Rev,
G. W. Dunlap to the three Springs charge.
Two horses were stolen from the stable of
Mr. Sphau near Saltillo, on Monday night the
Ist inst.
Some of our town folks aro making home
look cheerful by the use of lime, water and
elbow grease.
Dr. Stever has removed his office ; he now
occupies a room in Mrs. Baird's house on Ash
man street.
Mr. David Heck is the champion fisherman—
he has been capturing a fine lot of the finny
tribe of large size.
The Normal will commence next Monday,
when we expect to see a goodly number of
young ladies and gents in town.
A. W. McNeal, after an absence of five
months, has returned to his home in our
village. Welcome Andy, we are glad to see
you back.
The Entertainment held at Saltillo, last
Friday night for the benefit of the Sabbath
School was a success, from reports, there was
a large attendance.
The Baptist Sabbath School of this place
was re-organized on Sabbath last; Samuel
McVitty was elected Superintendent for the
eighteenth time. Mr. McVitty makes a good
Superintendent and the people know it, this
accounts for his long continuance in office.
Mr. J. E. Decor is one of those persons who
cannot be idle, since closing his school, he
has been prospecting for ore on his father's
farm, about one mile from this place. A good
vein of fossil ore has already been found, and
the prospects are very good for ending hema
tite ore. We are glad to hear of the good
prospects, and hope that a large deposit of
hematite of excellent quality may soon be
opened on Mr. Devor's farm ; as there seems
to be a better demand for that kind of ore
than for the fossil ore.
Three Springs came very near having
another burn on Monday,the house of Mr. Jas.
Norris now occupied by Daniel Lane, took
fire from the stove pipe, between the ceiling
and second floor, but was soon descovered
and by the prompt and faithful efforts of the
citizens of our village the fire was soon extin
guished. It became necessary, however to
remove some of the weather-boading and
ceiling in order to reach the flames with water.
It was fortunate indeed that it was checked in
time, as there was a strong wind prevailing et
the time, which would have greatly endanger
ed other buildings, there being some near,
with delapidated roofs, which would have
furnished excellent combustible for the fire
brands that might have been thrown on them.
A lecture entitled "LANDMARKS of SCOTT"

OBITUARY —On Friday morning last,
Mrs Jane H. Barr, wife of Rev. J. C. Barr,
pastor of the Alexandria, Huntingdon county,
Presbyterian Church, departe s this life at her
borne in that place, after an illness of but four
days. Her age was fifty years, less seventeen
days. The disease which so hurriedly called
her from earthly pleasures and cares was
Malignant Sore Throat, from which she suffer
ed severely. On Sunday prior to her illness
and death she occupied her place in the choir
of her husband's church and was in her place
as Sabbath school teacher. Her remains were
interred in the cemetery adjoining Alexandria
on Monday, the concourse of relatives and
friends being very large. Rev. Dr. Wilson, of
Birmingham, conducted the services, Dr.
Moore, Rev. Kelly, of Spruce Creek, and Rev.
Peters, of Alexandria, assisting. The deceas
ed was born in Florence, Washington county,
Pa. She graduated at the Washington Female
Seminary in early life and afterwards taught
in the South some five years—two in South
Carolina and two in Kentucky. Married in
Ohio in 1855, Mr. and Mrs. Barr removed to
Illinois in the same year, where they remained
some sixteen years. Mr. Barr received a call
from the Alexandria Presbyterian Church, and
located at that place about six and a half
years ago, which congregation and community
generally is now mourning the loss of an
earnest co-worker of her husband in the cause
of Christ, as well as a good, kind and enter
taining neighbor and friend. Besides her
husband, two children, a girl and a boy,
survive her, as well as a sister, who has made
her home with the family for many years,
and other sisters and brothers residing in the
west. Mr. S. W. Barr and Mrs. J. M. Harper
of this place, are brother and sister of Rev.
Barr. Thus endeth the earthly career of an
affectionate end faithful wife, mother, sister
and friend, who has soared into the regions
beyond to realize the truth of the last thought
—life everlasting—written by her husband
while engaged at preparing a sermon for last
Sabbath, and which was abruptly stopped
when but half finished, by her request, while
suffering from the increasing severity of the
pain attending the disease which so soon
proved fatal.— Tyrone Herald, 4th inst.
REALLY AN ELEGANT THING.—The
new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from the
press, is indeed an artistic gem. In point of
engravings, printing and description it is
beyond all question the handsomest publica
tion of the character ever issued in the United
States. There are in this work no less than
sixteen of Thomas Moran's exquisite drawings,
and among them his famous reproduction of
the Mount of the Holy Cross. Of Moran's
other matchless drawings are those of Grand,
Glen, Marble, Knab and Boulder Canons, Twin
Lakes, Teocalli Mountain, etc. Joseph Beard
is represented by characteristic hunting
sketches, Bisbing by several exceedingly
attractive mountain sketches, Lancelot by
spirited drawings of the remarkable rock
sculpture on White River, and Henry Worrell
by full page views at 'eta Pass and Wagon
Wheel Gap, as well as a large number of other
very finely executed sketches in different
portions of the western country. The engrav
inns are of the most part large, the full quarto
pages of the Tourist enabling the showing to
the finest advantage of plates seven by ten
inches. The book comprises sixty-four pages
inclusive of the cover,' and printed as it is
upon supersized and calendered paper of the
richest finish, the effect throughout is superb.
While a model of typograpical beauty, the
Tourist is none the less practical in its range
of information, time, distances, railroad and
stage fares, hotel and livery rates being noted
with uniform accuracy and in so easy and
pleasing a manner 83 to entirely relieve the
work of everything approaching the tedious
detail o: the average guide book. Containing
no advertisements of whatever character, the
new Rocky Mountain Tourist is fit companion
to Picturesque America in any gentleman's
library. Specimen copy may be had without
cost by writing to W. F. White, Topeka,
Kansas.

THE PRINTING BUSINESS —"There Is
millions in it," at least one would be led to
think so judging by the mania shown to go
into it.
The amateur printing press is becoming a
household idol, the counting room envying
the jour printer his wages must have one.
True, the type and material are limited, the
investment in a few fonts of type is small,
while the regular printer has his thousands
invested to compete with this economical boy
arrangement. Of course the standard of
charges are graded and made by the cheapest
amateur printing office.
Who cannot be a printer now? The day
truly is nigh at hand when all mankind will
be printers. The trade as a trade need no
more be served. Journeymen printers must
quit, there is no more work for thehi, unless
at boy's wages.
To start newspapers, to ruo the business, to
edit, that is a matter of so little consequence,
that anybody who wills it, can In it. We
predict the day is not far distant when every
family will have its own daily family organ.
"There is millions in it," at least millions
ere long will be in the printing business; then
what neat, the millenium must be nigh at
CURE FOR CORNS.—The latest remedy
for the cure of corns comes to us from a friend
living in Kingsville, Ohio, who vouches for
the cure with grave assurance, having known
of its efficacy in many stubborn cases. He
says : "Take a well ripened lemon, roll and
squeeze until the juices are well liquified,
then open an end of the lemon and squeeze
the juice into a glass vial. Add to the juice
three or six pearl buttons, according to size,
such as toed on lineu or cambric underwear,
In a few days it will be found the lemon juice
has eaten up or dissolved the buttons, so they
can be mashed between the thumb and finger.
Shake the mixture well, then apply it to the
corn ; a few applications will conquer the
most stubborn settler, and give permanent
relief." This is a remedy easily prepared and
contains no poisonous substance ; so all who
desire, can nse it without fear of evil conse
quences.
"The Dollar of Our Fathers."
Give us the silver dollar,
Hard and clear as a bell,
Sounding the people's triumph,
And ringing the Shylock's knell !
A fig for "public opinion I"
'Tis bought by the money kings;
The press is too often the minion
Of rascally Wall Street rings.
They threaten distress and ruin,
Should silver its place resume;
Of terrible mischief brewing,
Portending the crack of doom.
They lie, and they know they're lying,
For gold keeps coming down,
In spite of the usurers' trying
To frighten us with their frown.
To our neck there clings no collar,
We're neither bribed nor sold ;
Hurrah for the silver dollar,
By law on a par with gold.
Then, give us the silver dollar,
The coin that our fathers knew ;
'Twas good enough in the good old days,
it's good for the present, too.
Yes, give us the the silver dollar,
That none may dare refase ;
If it's good enough for the people,
It's good for the Wall Street Jews.

Secreta . ry,
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL—Dear Sir:—As
the tax-payers of our county seem very much
interested at this time in curtailing_ the ex
penses of the county by the repealing of cer
tain laws that they allege are useless, now,
with your permission, we would like to call
their attention to a law that we consider more
useless than any one mentioned. That is,
constables making their returns at each
quarter session of our courts. More perhaps
than $lOOO is paid out of our county treasury,
each year, in this way, to no purpose. Now
to avoid this useless waste of our county funds,
we propose to make these returns through
our Justices of the Peace, in the same manner
as they return their recognizance to the District
Attorney. This can be done at an expense of
' fifty cents to the county, that is, if they have
any return to make, if not, it will cost nothing.
Under the present arrangement the constable
is paid for making his return, when he really
has no return to make, but is compelled by
the present law to appear before our Judges
on the first Monday of each and every court.
It is to be supposed that a Justice of the
Peace will have as much knowledge of any
violation of the law in his township, or
borough, as the constable will have. Or, if
this method should not be satisfactory, let the
constable make his return to the Justice of
his district, and let him make his return as
stated above. Au objection may be urged
here, that a certain number of constables are
required at each court, to take charge of juries.
In reply to this objection we would say, let
the law be so amended, that any one of the
jury drawn on the general panel, can be sworn
to take charge of a jury. This can be done
without any additional expense to the county.
If this method should not be satisfactory, we
propose still another. Let all the names of
constables in the county, by townships, and
boroughs, be placed in a box, and have as
many of them drawn out at each court as may
be necessary to take charge of juries at the next
court, have them drawn at the same time, and
in the same manner that juries are drawn. It
is true, that $l,OOO, or more, is a small sum
when divided with the tax-payers of the
county, yet this much saved each year, would
soon build a bridge across the Juniata, or be
a good help in building a new court house, or
jail, that we will soon need.
We do not suppose anything can be done in
this matter at the present session of our Leg
islature, but we merely want to get it before
the people, and then we will be ready to move
in it next winter. In conclusion, as the few
scattered thoughts we have advanced on this
subject are intended especially to favor the
tax-payer, we hope that our county papers will
give it a passing notice, some of them we
think should, as a matter of consistency.
FASHION NOTES.—
A coming fashion is the medic ruff.
Pocket handkerchiefs are very small.
Black satin is becoming fashionable again
Belts are worn with pleated or Grecian
corsages.
Old garments from last year will be much
worn.
Black draperies grow beautifully less and
less.
No overskirts are seen on fashionable cos
tumes.
Cutaway jackets will be worn by young
women this spring.
Pleated waists with and without yokes are
coming in vogue.
Exquisitely-shaped pearl buttons are pre
ferred for wool suits.
Simplicity is the conspicuous feature of the
basque of the season.
Underskirts are made more clinging than
ever, and are funnel shaped.
The fashionable colors at Paris this spring
are brown, cockroach, Paris mud, copper red,
duck's wing and mad rooster.
Ball dresses are either long trained four
reaux, or princess or empress dresses ; or if
made with basques they simulate the dress in
one piece.
Gauntlet gloves, with the monogram on the
baek of the hand embroidered in silk and
picked out gold threads, are among the novel
ties it, gloves.
Long, narrow trains, either perfectly square
at the end or rounded to describe a lozenge
pattern on the floor, are de rigue at the mo
ment.
Fashion, it is said, has introduced into
Paris a new style of artificial flowers for
mourning hats. They are made the blossoms
in a blighted condition.
White lawn wrappers are being prettily
made with a flounce of embroidery around
the skirt, while princess waist is trimmed to
outline a sacque. To brighten them knots
of ribbon will be used upon all available points.
AWAY TO THE FIELDS.—A exchange
—a city one—says : "We are going to have
another enormous wheat crop. Farmers will
want a great many helpers, and now, boys, is
the time for those of you who are strong and
without employment to strike for the country.
Far better to work for half a dollar a day and
board and lodging than lounge around the
streets of the city vainly hoping that some
thing will turn up that will enable you to
earn a livelihood. No youug man of pluck
could possibly stand such an idle life. Away
with you to the country, and learn to plow
and plant, and sow and reap. You will never
regret the step if you go about it in real, live
earnest."
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. Van 26- ly
