The Huntingdon Journal FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1878. READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. W. L. FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, Is the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisements for the JOURNAL. He has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention--Home-made and Stolen Much rain New moon. Tax the dogs. Croquet is ripe. Pay your little bills. Bring out your chip hat. Spring chickens are budding. Sheep shearing is now in order. Put your flower gardens in trim. New schedules will soon be in order. The penitentiary hair cut is all the rage. Awnings are going up as the sun gets higher. Rain, sunshine and storm prevailed on Sun day. The strawberry crop promises to pan out well. Dealers are displaying their stock of straw hats. It was a dark Brown that took in the colored people. Sunday was not a good day for airing new clothes. "Ye ancient borough" is being taken by an artist. Times ought to get better with the prospects ahead. 'Squire Murray is acquiring an aldermanic corporation. Cucumbers one dollar pe: dozen in Altoona green groceries. There are five or six supreme Court cases from this county. An Argument Court will be held on Thurs day, the 23d inst.. If war breaks out it will create much labor in this country. The Three Springs Herald has gone where impecunious papers go. School directors were as plenty as black berries, on last Tuesday. Dr. R. A. Miller has been off to the east for the last week or ten days. An eastern fish dealer drove a lively trade in this place on Tuesday last. Slack water the Juniata and all our coal and ore fields will teem with labor. Joseph Watson, esq., of this place, will sail for Europe about the 22nd inst. The juveniles enjoyed themselves in the woods oa Thursday of last week. A large number of cut throat looking tramps were loafing about town on Sunday. Thousands of potato bugs are to be found in every potato patch in the town. Our streets presented a busy appearance on Tuesday; the school directors did it. Seventeenth street, in the West End, is to be opened and put in condition for travel. Candidates are coming to the front. They will be as numerous and persistent as flies. Farmers are busy planting corn, and crows and blackbirds are correspondingly happy. Capt. Craig's stem-wheeler has been lying at the foot of Fifth street for the last week. A new awning has been erected in front of Port & Fridley's meat market, on Fifth street. A hand organ was one of the attractions for the trundle-bed brigade on Monday morning. Scores of people visited the site for the proposed Normal School building on Sunday last. If Edison's health don't give way' he will keep on till be makes a whistle out of a pig's tail. The Peter Livingston case is one of the prominent cases taken up to the Supreme Court. A first-class thunder gust and rain storm visited this bailiwick at a late hour on Tues day night. John R. Flenner, eq., is having a handsome portico erected in front of his residence on Mifflin street. John Read and his son C. C. Read, of our town, sail to-day (Thursday) from New York, for Ireland. Grass butter, strong enough to walk, can now be purchased in our stores at twenty-five cents per pound. Decoration day is not far off, and as yet we bear of no preparations being made for its proper observance. If the Juniata river were improved millions of tons of coal and other freight would be shipped from here yearly. A new building, for Sunday school purposes, is to be erected oa J. It. Simpson's p.ioperty, opposite the gas works. The 11. & B. T. ft. It., and our friend, An derson, of the Ardenheim Stone Pipe Works, pay their employee in gold. Col. Dorris and family will sail for the Paris Exposition, on the Pennsylvania, from Phila delphia, on the Ibth instant. Charles Brown was his name, and the colored people his victims. Should he come this way again he will have a tale to tell. Quite a number of railway changes were anticipated here before the beginning of the month, but most of them were premature. There are those who let out their hogs on Sunday. They should be impounded. The borough authorities can regulate this matter. If people had half A chance to, vote for Water Works now they would settle the ques tion. Who are the obstructionists in the Conseil ? Geo. A. Port, esq., has invested in a "purp" of the bull dog species, which he is training to act as sentinel abut his slaughter house and stable. The man who throws orange rinds over the sidewalks should be locked in a room, for three months, with his mother-in•law for a companion. A few hundred thousand dollars would build the necesary slack water improvements on the Juniata river to make it a great thor oughfare. A fractious horse, at the eorner ofFifth and Penn streets, on Friday last, caused a dozen or so gentlemen of leisure to congregate at that point. Remember that the JOURNAL Joh Room turns ont the handsomest, most attractive and cheapest Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf.•- Col. John S. Miller now occupies his new, hotel, corner of Fourth and Allegheny streets, where he will be pleased to have his friends call and see him. Dr. Hotehkin, of Saxton, formerly of Media, Delaware county, has determined to locate in this place. The Doctor has had a large ex perience as a physician. We had the pleasure, on Friday last, of in tertwining digits with our young friend, John Tin), esq., of Williamsport, who is on a visit to friends in this place, The surface of Fifth street, between Penn and Washington, needs levelling up ba4l7, In its present condition it is an eye sore to the lovers of good roads. We hear of several parties, who do not take their county papers, that intend to be candi dates for office. The papers ought to give such patriots a handsome support. Ex-Sherif Houck of Broad Top City, has bad a severe tussle with pneumonia. His lite was d r espaired of last week. We are happy to say that he is recovering. Hon. R. M. Speer is a candidate for the Chairmanship of the Democratic State Central Committee. He would make an efficient Chairman. Hope he may win. The lady who dressed in the dark, for church, on Sunday evening last, and got on the skirt of two dresses, couldn't for the life of her, tell what made her clothing so heavy. Postmasters have been instructed to receive the little three cent piece for postage stamps and then not re issue it. The government wishes to get the little nuisance out of circu lation. The printers in this office have been pretty severely worked, for the last few days, on the adventures of Peter Livingston, an authentic history gotten up for the benefit of the Su• preme Court. Deputy Collector Stewart, of our town, made a raid and captured an illicit distillery, in Cass township, on Thursday of last week. The shebang was run by a man named Win. Weaver,. Paper books have been all the rage this last week. The lawyers always leave these things off to the last moment, and then the printers are put to extra labor and expense to get them out on time. If you want something nice for marking your clothing, buy one of the Indelible Tablets for sale at the JOURNAL Store. No pen, no smearing, and the best article ever offered for this purpose. tf• Charles 11. Anderson, esq., is a working man. Ile affords labor, sympathizes with those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and defends their cause. Ile would make a good representative. Dr. D. P. Miller, who has been taking a squint at the western country during the past two or three weeks, is home again ready to deal out pills and powders to those who may need his services. A gentleman, who owns a large body of West Virginia timber land, will sell a half interest at a very reasowable figure. Much of the land can be tilled. The timber is excellent. luquire at this office. The contractors have commenced excavating the cellar for the new Normal School. The building will be in shape of the letter T. It will be about 100 feet in length and extending back some 80 feet. The men have their troubles and vexations. A man must have his coat all one color, while a woman can sew a yard of red flannel around the bottom of an old calico dress and have an elegant underskirt. Fears are already expressed that wheat may not fill owing to the greet weight of straw.— Many places the rain and storm prostrated it, but we have no fears on this score. It will get up all right and do its duty nobly. Guy Samson, esq., he who punches the pasteboard on the "Dutch Express" west, and the Mail cast, on the western division of the P. R. R., spent Sunday in this place. Guy is a tip-top fellow and a general favorite. ‘ve don't want to buy a "purp" so soon after the vacancy. The local of the Monitor is as sured that it will not be filled for some time to come. We will let him know when the position will be open for competition. • A Penn street boy swallowed his mother's thimble. Immediately afterward he seemed to have a stitch in his side, and only felt sew sew, and it was feared his life hung by a thread. A neighbor came in and tuck it out. 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. Fruit growers report that the promise bids fair for an abundant crop this year, and in consequence physicians are already laying in a large stock of pain-killers, and other medi cines of like nature, to be in readiness for the early cherry stomach aches. Dr. James Clegg, Lock Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, does not respond when called upon to pay his bills, at least this is our experience. We thought we had grown old enough in the . service not to be caught, bat we "cave." Oar only safety lies in reliable agents. The genial countenauce of Harry Thomas, one of the cleverest fellows of the "whole jing bang" who runs on the Middle Division of the P. R. R., illuminated our sanctum on Mon day last. Harry knows how to make passengers feel at home when they run with him. It would be well if our people would pat ronize the omnibus as much as possible. This enterprise is absolutely necessary, but if peo ple do not patronize it it must go down. No one man can be expected to keep op an im provement for the benefit, of the edrumutlity at large. . . . The dog poisoner seems to be abroad' in Huntingdon. He has a fine field of operation, and when be kills off a few hundred of the worthless curs a town meeting should be called and a vote of thanks tendered him for ridding the borough ofan intolerable nuisance. The property belonging to the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society, consisting of the buildings—occupied as offices during the late fairs—stalls, /cc., on the fair grounds, will be sold at Constable's sale on Saturday next, at which time Mr. M'Cahan will re-possess his ground. . Couldn't the ladies of .the town purchase the old Presbyterian church for a Library ? Part of it could be rented to keep up expenses. A little effort might accomplish this much de sired purpose. We have no doubt it would be sold, at very reasonable figures, for this object. Henry Leister, esq., of the "Leister House," has made some decided improvements in the rear of that building. The entire yard has been beautified, and a neat summer house erected, where the lovers of lager can sit and sip swi glass with decidedly comfortable sur roundings. The Wilson Brothers, of this place,have the thriftiest looking field of wheat that we have seen tbig - ifeakin. .1( is growing on the beau• tiful strip of meadow lying along the waters of Stone Creek, within the borough limits, and already some of the stalks measure over four feet in length. A delicate complexion is best compared to a blooming rose; but when the countenance is disfigured with Blotches and Pimples, like weeds in a rose bed, the sufferer should promptly use Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture, which effectually eradicates such unsightly evidences of impure blood. The voice of "Dad" Lewis' peac'ck will "no longer be heard in the land." The "Local" of the 14;;ationaliat bird, and shipped him, by Express, away acrosi the continent as a precious gift to a near and dear one. The neighbors will very much miss his dulcet notes. In passing down Mifflin street, the other day, we heard an old lady say : "When I was a gal the women with the prettiest faces were the ones looked at most on the street, but now it's the one who holds her skirts up the highept when she goes across a muddy place who re ceivetl the most attention." Chief-of-Police Westbrook has taken the corner loafers in hand, and on Sunday evening last he cleared Fifth street of the. "gamin" who are usually found hugging the lamp posts or sitting on the smooth side of boxes and door steps. This is right, and we trust he will not weary in well doing. The Prothonotary informs us that legal business is extremely . scarce. This is well. If some one would start a little panic, and have all the shirt-tail notes entered up it would make things lively again. The lawyers ought to be able to manage .this, but, then, there don't appear to be much outcome in this sort of sport. His Honor, Judge Jenks, of Jefferson, last week charged that the somewhat prevailing practice of serenading newly married persons with tin pans, horns, etc., and collecting and creating a terrible din, was a violation of law, a riot. In the futlre he will holdall patties guiltf, of such . off4o amendable to the full eximit pteacTlW -- - - Some of the colored folks in this place, are greatly out of humor at some remarks made by an itinerant divine, in their church, on Sunday night last. We heard three or four of them expressing regrets that they had not in vited him to leave the pulpit. Preachers some times are compelled to say things not very complimentary to their members. An exchange says that a new way of fasten ing on ladies' bats is to bore the tops of their ears, put in gold hoops and have the hat strings tied through them. Thus, step by step, we tread the pathway to perfection, and ere the darkness of death envelops all the world, man will have utilized his Dose in holding up his pants or pulling on his boots. The "Baby's Best Friend" is the most ap propriate title for Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. It is absolutely free front Opium, Morphia and other powerful agents, is perfectly safe and reliable under all circumstances, and by al laying the usual stomach and bowel disorders of babyhood keeps the child from fretting and crying, so injurious to itself and annoying to all. Price Z 5 cents. Mr. S. R. Zinn, lately a freight brakeman on local trains between Huntingdon and Har risburg has been promoted to the position of baggage agent at Lewistown, vice C. Smith, resigned Mr. W. C. Humes ex-train agent, has been appointed assistant freight agent :.‘t Huntingdon, and Henry Carpenter, lately re ceiver at Williamsport, has been transferred to the same position at Pittsburgh, vice 11. C. Eagle, resigned.—Altoona Mirror. Huntingdon wants a reading room.—Journal. Huntingdon, not long since, had a reading room, but the attendance was wanting.—News. We presume our neighbor refers to the room occupied by the Y. M. C. A., where none but religious literature could be obtained. A reading room, where a good supply of daily and weekly papers were received, together with religious reading matter, we think would be largely patronized by both citizens and strangers. Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir culation of the JOURNAL exceeds that of any other paper in the county by several hundred ; and that its patrons are generally of the better class, comprising merchants, business men, mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage is desirable to every person engaged in any and every branch of trade. If you want to get the worth of your money avail yourselves of the superior facilities offered by the use of its columns. tf. The life insurance people are not making fortunes now. When we take into considera tion the manner in which they have swindled people we are not astonished at this. The best of them do it. They write out an appa rently square policy, and then fill up a quarto page of tine print with conditions and pro visions which no one reads, in which there are the biggest kind of anacondas. Take the pro vision that if you do not pay for thirty days, all you have ever paid is forfeited after the manner of the Penn Mutual for instance. J. M. Leech, esq., of Franklin township, has filled the office of Justice of the Peace for eleven years, and in all that time only two prosecutions have been returned by him upon which bills of indictment were founded, only two appeals have bees taken from his deci sions of the many cases brought before him, and these were settled after appeal, and he has received less than five dollars cost out of the county for fees. This comes of having a man of good sound judgment in a judicial capacity. 'Squire Leech's neighbors owe him a debt of gratitude which they will never be able to repay. The following is the opinion of a distin guished engineer, Col. James Worrell : The seaboard may be reached from the Ohio by three different routes commencing at Pitts burgh. The first ascends the Allegheny river to the mouth of the Kiskiminetas, and thence by the Conemaugh reaches the Allegheny Mountains, through which a tunnel would connect the eastern and western waters, and the Valley of .:,he Juniata would he used to reach the Susquehanna and thence the sea at olr new seaport on Delaware Bay, a distance of something over four hundred miles, say four hundred and twenty-five. A canal has existed on this whole line except through the summit of the mountain, which was overcome by a portage railway. ADJOURNED COURT PROCEEDINGS.— Court convened at 10 o'clock, ♦. IL, on Mon. day last, and as the session was called for the purpose of sentencing prisoners committed at the late April Sessions, Judge Dean proceeded to do so as follows : _ _ John Vanzandt, a lad of eleven years of age, convicted of stealing money from Register Lightner, was, at the request of counsel, per mitted to go at large, and sentence deferred till August Sessions. If be shows a disposi tion to be a better boy between this and that time he will not be called upon to suffer for his past misdeeds, but if he should become incor rigible he will be sent to the House of Refuge. The little fellow was highly delighted when Sheriff Irvin informed him that be could go home. George Gantz and Rebecca Slaughters, both colored, were next called up for sentence , the former convicted of adultery and the latter of fornication. As they had already spent sev eral months in prison, they were each sentenc ed to pay a fine of $1 and costs of prosecution. George Hockenberry and Benjamin Burk holder, two youthful prisoners, whose parents reside in Altoona, and who had been convict ed of breaking open a freight car, in the neigh borhood of Birmingham, a notice of which ap. peared in the JOURNAL at the time, were sen tenced to pay a fine of $5 and costs of prose cution jointly, and undergo imprisonment in the county jail ten days. Lorenzo Civils, the individual who made the brutal attack, on Constable Robinson, in Mill Creek, in January last, a detailed account of which appeared in these columns at the time, was sentenced to pay a fine of $2O, the costs of prosecution,—the whole amounting to about slso,—and undergo an imprisonment .in jail for four months. Jacob Zilius was then ordered to stand up. Jake had been convicted on four indictments, and before his Honor proceeded to sentence him he told the prisoner that he regretted very much that he had not the power to send him to the penitentiary ; that it was the best place for him, as he was a man who violated the laws on all occasions, and promised him that if he again appeared before the Court he would get the full extent of the law. For selling liq uor to minors he was sentenced to pay a fine of $2O, costs of prosecution, and ten days im prisonment ; for selling liquor on Sunday, a fine of $2O, costs of prosecution, and 20 days imprisonment ; for selling liquor without a license, a fine of $2OO, costs of prosecution, and ten days imprisonment, and in default of payment of the fine and costs to be imprisoned for three months ; for keeping a bawdy house, a fine of $lO, costs of prosecution, and three months imprisonment in the county jail. Hawn was sentenced to pay $1 per week for the maintenance of his wife, and give bond in the sum of $lOO for the carrying out of the sentence. The afternoon session was taken up in hear ing remonstrances against granting licenses to several applicants in different parts of the county. We are informed that license was re fused in every case. The cases of Abraham Graffius and Henry Chamberlain, who had been granted license at January Court to keep hotels in Petersburg, and wbo were charged with having violated the license law by selling liquor to minors, to men of intemperate hab its, and on election day, were then taken up. They both admitted that they had sold liquor on election day, after the closing of the polls, believing that they had the right under the li cense law of 1872, that law allowing the saleof liquor on election day after the closing of the polls. The law of 1875 does not give landlords the right to sell at any time on election day, and consequently their selling was a clear vi olation of the law. The licenses of both these gentlemen will be revoked at the Argument Court on the 23d inst. beautiful A Rule was asked for and granted on J. K. McCallan, to produce certain papers belonging to the estate of John 3lcCahan, dec'd. Montgomery has the finest line of samples of spring and summer goods for business and dress suits that is to be found outside of Philadelphia. Measures taken and good fits guaranteed. - [m43 -4t. ELECTION OF COUNTY SUPERINTEN DENT.—The School Directors of Huntingdon County met in Convention, in the Court House, in this place, on Tuesday afternoon last, for the purpose of choosing a Superintendent of Public Schools for the ensuing three years. The conventi j on was called to order by Super intendent McNeal, who took occasion to make some well timed remarks. On motion, David Etnier, esq., of Brady, was chosen President, and Alex. Elliott, esq., of Huntingdon, and A. C. Greenland, esq., of Cassville, Secretaries. After a little preliminary business, crndi dates were put in nomination and the Direc tors proceeded to ballot, with the following result BALLOTS. 1 2 3 4 W. R. Baker J. 11. Brumbaugh 67 85 100 99 J. Irvin White Robert McDivitt W. R. Baker, having received a majority, was declared elected Superintendent. Prof. McNeal, during his administration of the office for the past six years, has done much to advance the standard of education in Hunt ingdon county, and be retires from his arduous duties with the hearty approval of the friends of education for the able manner in which he discharged them. His successor, Mr. Baker, is a gentleman every way suited for the position to which he has been chosen, and we believe that he will discharge the duties of the office with credit to himself and to the best interest of the cause of education. The convention wAs one of the largest that ever convened in the county, for a similar purpose, and while the members were ardent in the support of their favorites, the best of feeling prevailed throughout its deliberatirins: Montgomery has the finest assortment of straw hats :in town,for men, youths, and children. Buy one. [may3 4t. Cash buyers do not be deceived, T. J.

Three tons and a half of wild pigeons were shipped to Philadelphia from Forrest county one day week before last. Dr. Carver, the famous California rifle shot, has been treating the citizens of Denver, Col., with an exhibition of his skill with this weapon. He broke ninety-seven out of one hundred glass balls, a feat that is hard to perfortil with a shot gun. The rifle shooting of Dr. Carver throws Bogardus' in the shade.

Under the old law it was from October Ist to January Ist. The second sec tion provides that squirrel-hunting shall com mence on September Ist, and close January Ist. The old law prescribes from July Ist to January Ist. The third section authorizes rabbit-hunting from October 15th to January Ist. At present, October 15th to December 15th is the limit. The sixth section prohibits the killing of any wild fowl between April 15th and September lot. Under former laws no protection was afforded to either wild pigeons, wild ducks, or wild geese. The ninth and tenth sections fix quail and pheasant-hunting seasons from October 15th to January Ist. In relation to trout fishing the new law provides that the season shall open on April Ist, and continue until august Ist. The present act closes the catching season on August 15th. Bass fishing can be indulged in between June Ist and January lst, instead of from July Ist to March Ist.

This could be done at com paratively little expense. The general gov ernment is annually spending great sums of money for internal improvements, one-half or two-thirds of which are not of half as much importance to the great centers of trade that the improvement of the Juniata would be.— Our people base never been alive to this great improvement. With the great Broad Top and Cumberland coal fields on the South and the Allegheny and Clearfield regions on the West, and the almost inexhausti ble supplies of iron ore on every hand, there would be endless trafic. Coal, from either of these regions, could be taken into New York for one-third or one-half its present cost of transportation; in fact, with such an improve ment this region could almost defy all com petition. Every eastern consumer is interested in a great work of this kind. It would re quite but comparatively few dams and the damage would not be heavy, in all probability, owing to the nature of the country through which the river courses, there would be no damage done whatever. As large steamboats as now ascend the Monongahela would soon find their way to our wharves and the trafic that would grow out of it would soon make a city of this place and enhance every foot of land in this region of country. We want a man in Congress, from this dis trict, who will take hold of this project and stick to it until success crowns his efforts. It would give employment to thousands, and would make fortunes tor hundreds. We in tend to examine the subject thoroughly, and in a future article show what advantages such improvement would be to the coal consumers of the east. A COLORED DEAD BEAT.—A colored individual, calling himself Charles Brown, came here early in April, or, perhaps, the last week in March, and represented that he wanted to engage, for the season, quite a number of colored servants for one of the hotels, at Cape May. He represented that last season he em ployed Philadelphia help, and that owing to the facilities afforded for frequently returning to their homes, the help was, in a great meas ure, worthless, in addition to, tht perquisites which they were enabled to carry off by their frequent visits, to the great loss of their em ployers, be, therefore, had determined to come up to Huntingdon to try his luck in getting help. He wanted both males and females, with good recommendations, and in the course of a week or two some twenty-one excellent servants of both sexes were enlisted under his banner to be called for on or about the first of May. All this time he was boarded and lodged, washed for and feted by the colored people here. At last he bad business at Chan4bersburg, and left assuring them that he would "return before many days." But before he left he wanted to borrow a sufficient sum of money to take him to Philadelphia. This caused some of his friends to "smell a very large mice." He left, however, saying that he would leave part of his luggage until he would turn up to take them down to the burning sands of New Jersey. A week or two since he sent for his valise with directions to send it to Charles Brown, 1018 Sergeant Street, Philadelphia. lie is unanimously voted a "Dead Beat." A FIENDISH Acr.—A correspondent furnishes the News with the following On Wednesday night last when a Mrs. Shin brook, who lives in an isolated house near the summit of Shade Mountain,somediatance from Shade Gap, was about to retire for the night, she thought she heard an unusual cry, some distance from her house. On going out and listening for a repetition of the cry she could not hear any other sound save the squealing of some hogs in the neighborhood from whence she thought the cry bad emanated. On re turning to the house she heard the cry again ; she went up to where she had heard the hogs, when the cry was repeated very distinctly, and she came upon a bundle which she picked up and on investigation found to contain an in fant from two to three weeks old. The infant was well wrapped up, which saved it from be ing devoured by the hogs, as the clothing showed it got some pretty rough rocking. The little waif was taken to the Alms House the next morning by Director Stair, where it is tenderly cared for and is doing well, and may live to sport the romantic name of "Minnie Shade," which some philanthropic friends have named it. Sometime in the afternoon of the day the child was found, a woman,•wbo is supposed to be the grandmother of the infant, was seen carrying a bundle toward the moun tain and returning without it, which may give some inkling to the "trio inwardness" of the case on investigation, which I learn will be hold. Last, but not least, Montgomery won't be undersold. [may3-4t. EDITOR JOURNAL-SiTS :-If all that one of your correspondents says of the people of Hun tingdon is true, they must very closely re semble the people of Shirleyshurg, as they were once described by the late Judge Long. lie said there were three kinds of people in that town ; do-nothings, good-for-nothings, and know-nothings. But such a charge against the people of our town is certainly too sweep ing. It is slanderous ; it is an out crop of jealousy. But when it is remembered that the birds always pick the best berries, we can un derstand why so many green eyes are turned upon our good citizens. It is true, there are some short-comings, but for these we feel like apologising, and think your correspondent should be called to a strict account for the manner in which he has attempted to defame us is the eyes of the world. But why is our tows always pointed at as the slow coach of the cation? It is certainly all for the want of at extended observation. For the traveller may search in vain for a different state of things, where the surrounding circumstances are of like character with those of our town. Of hundreds of towns in Pennsylvania, as well as of all the other States, as much may be said of the want of enterprise as can be said of Huntingdon. With all due deference to our good people, we may give two reasons for a backwardness and lack of progress, and let other towns take care of their interests in theftr own way. F rst—Between the big things our people can't do, and the little things they won't do, they do nothing ; and, Second—They have never learned to do anything but just what they are now doing. When these two conditions exist nothing may be expected more than they exhibit. The older citizens grew up, under such surround ings as do not now exist, and their habits and course of life took shape accordingly; which the! could not now be asked, with any degree of mason, to change. The younger citizens hays very aptly learned the ways of their fathers, and are sticking to them, without making an effort to keep up with the progress of the age ; and, consequently, are not capable of ectering into, or taking charge of any breech of productive industry. Whilst we web know that most of our citizens believe theriselves equal to anything—the votes of the people may call them to, we shall make the assertion, at the risk of what may befall us, that there is not one man, either young or 010, in our town, who can manufacture cloth pins successfully. Unlearned people generally look upon productive processes and exclaim how easy, but they do not see the winding labyrinth that leads to the final process ; and, therefore, if they should enter into manufac turisg, their meagre knowledge would lead to certain disaster. It requires no small amount of practice to become skillful in the use of that useful tool, the axe, but how much more must be known, to be able to carry the sub stance through the various processes, from its circle state to its final shape. To be a successful producer of fabrics there are many things a man ought to know, but some must be known. He must know what is the best machinery and process for his purpose, and how to manipulate them. He must know what kind of material to use, and that his goods are comparable in the markets. He must know how to obtain his material at the best advantage, and where to sell his wares most profitably ; and he must know, which is, probably, not the least of the manu facturers troubles, how to manage men. All these things can be learned only by a lon apprentice service to successful manufacturers. Than, what is first required in Huntingdon, as well as all other backward towns is, for some of the young men to place themselves in a position where they can thoroughly learn the whole. Science and art of some branch of productive industry. And ifany of our young men will pass through such a course of train ing, they will not want for aid in any calling they are completely master of. In these remarks we refer to the "big" things our peo ple want to do, for but little skill or knowledge so required to manage a small local trade. But are large work shops just the thing we need? Will happiness supreme fall upon us the moment the clouds of smoke begin to role from the gigantic chimneys, and the whirr of the tireless engine is heard ? We should be glad to regard this more than a dream. But when we look upon the suffering and misery to be found in large manufacturing centres, the conclusion is forded upon us that some thing is radically wrong in big things. Let us suggest a few things for the consid eration of our people. Little things based upon a sufficiency of capital, and well man age, rarely fail. The best things to manufac ture is such as people eat or wear, and cannot very well do without. Suppose some of our citizens raise a fund of $5,000, and introduce the manufacture of men and boys' clothing. All that is needed for such a business is a good fitter, and a few sewing machines, and a score or so of women and girls could be em ployed on the work. Others could raise $2,000 and enter into the manufacture of crackers, in which trade our town could soon become celebrated, on account of the high quality of wheat grown around it. Others could manu facture cheese. And again, no better point could be found for an establishment for mak ing condensed milk. Some could start the trade of putting up canned goods. We might proceed, and name many other things that could be carried on at fair profits, but enough for the present. The counties, of which Huntingdon is the centre, consume enough of all the things we have named to make their production satis factorily profitable, and give employment to every man, woman and child in our town. .4 4 5 4 4-21 A 4 4 4 4-20 Our observations have led us to the con clusion that where many little things are car ried on, and of a diversified character, the people are most comfortable, and generally as nearly happy as people can be in this transi tory life. TRITE. INTERESTING TO DEALERS IN AND CONSUMERS or Tonacco.—The following items will be of interest to almost everybody who uses tobacco, and we give them for the benefit of the lovers and dispensers of the "weed." The numerous changes proposed in Congress during its present session in regard to the laws governing the sale and manufacture of cigars has for some time past filled the manufactur ers, who are also dealers, with alarm. Peti tions are now being circulated asking that Congress take no action making it obligatory upon small manufacturers to have their parti tions between the store and manufacturing room built up to the ceiling. At the same time another pet;tion is in circulation desiring Congress to not pass the proposed law requir ing each cigar to bear a separate metal stamp. This idea, the manufacturers say, originated in the brain of a relative of the Secretary of the Treasury, who invented the stamp. If made a law, they say, it will render the maker lia• ble, by the mistakes of his packers, to have his entire stock confiscated, so that the ma jority of manufacturers will be compelled to withdraw from the business. The Ways and Means Committee has reduc ed the tariff on cigars to $5, and on cigarettes weighing not more than 3} pounds per 1,000 to $1.25. Above that weight the tariff will be $5. The internal revenue tax on tobacco will be reduced to sixteen cents per pound. Taouuii CREEK ITEMS.- B. F. Glasgow raised his barn on Friday last. It went up nicely. Levi Dell is the build- Rev. E.

He will un doubtedly fill the position to the entire satis faction of the company, and we wish him—as we do all good paying subscribers to the Times —abundant succes through life, and in the hereafter, also.

MARKET STREET IMPROVEMENT.— Another Large Business Establishment to be Erected.—Business improvements on Market street steadily continue, notwithstanding the dullness and the general complaints of hard times. This is true, more especially of the blocks between Seventh and Ninth streets, on which, since 1873, several fine business houses have been erected. When sales have been made in this locality the prices realized have been fully up to any previous time. Property on Market street is held at even higher figures than on Chestnut street or elsewhere in the city. Another extensive improvement is now contemplated by one of our Market street firms, and which will be one of the finest that our city has yet witnessed. Messrs. Straw bridge & Clothier, of Eighth and Market streets, have just completed a contract for the erection of a five story stone building on their properties, Nos. 805, 807 and 809 Market street adjoining their present store, at the corner of Eighth street, and on completion the whole will be thrown into one building, making one of the finest stores is the city, with a frontage on Market street of over ninety feet. The. improvement is one that cannot fail to be a credit, not only to the street, but to the city. Everything r.bout the building is to be of the best and most substantial character. Careful study has been given to every detail of eon struction. All the latest improvements have been adopted, including steam elevators, which will make the upper floors as available and convenient as the first floor itself. The building operations will begin about June Ist, and it is expected that in a little over three months the completed store will be thrown open to the publie.—Philada. Press, May 4th.
