The Huntingdon Journal. FRIDAY, MAY 24, 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 authorised to receive advertisements for the Jouartm.. Ile has our beet rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen Grass butter. Vegetation is drooping. Strawberries in market. The frost nipped the grapes. Frost three mornings this week. Port's bull "purp'' is troublesome. Bad weather for the ice creameries. Saturday night drunks were numerous. Senator Fisher spent Sunday last at home. Straw bats were at a discount on Sunday, Col. Miller is now quartered in his new hotel. Huntingdon is remarkable for its inventive talents. Some vandal is destroying the shade trees in Altoona. The public schools of this borough will close on the Bth pros. The frost killed the potato vines, but it didn't disturb the bugs. Springfield furnace, in Blair county, has been in operation since 1875. Careful gardeners covered their tender plants to protect them from the frost. Huntingdon is very well represented among the commercial travellers of Philadelphia. A German Baptist love feast will be held at Warriorsmark on Saturday and Sunday next. A nett porch bas been built on the side of the "Miller House" fronting the Union depot. The Huntingdon distillery was fired up on Monday last, and is now runniag on full time. The cellar of the Normal School building has been exeavated, and is now ready for the masons. Diptlieria is raging very disastrously at Woodberry, Bedford county. Many have died with it. Harry Tricker, of the Allegheny House, 814 Market Street, Philadelphia, spent last week at Saxton. As most of the matter i❑ this week's issue was prepared for last week it will appear a a little stale. Uncle Jake Zeigler, the ♦eteran editor of the Butler Herald, passed through this place on Sunday last. It is said there is a Central Advertising Agency, located at Huntingdon, Penna. Who is running it, gray? Harry Africa, late of Study Bros. & Africa, Tyrone, and son of Wm. Africa, esq., of this place, has gone west. Rumor has it that hereafter no freight trains, except those carrying stock, will be run over the P. R. R., on Sunday. Fifth street, since Chief Westbrook raided the corner loungers, can now be traveled by females without fear of insult. Prof. J. W. Hughes has again been elected Superintendent of Common Schools of Bed ford couuty. He is a popular officer. How can I have a clear and brilliant com plexion. Simply by using Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture and observing the rules of health. It is said the widowers are the only marry ing men in lluntingdon. This is rather sig nificant. They know what it is to be married. When a single gentleman receiTes a package of sample wedding cards it is taken for granted that some one thinks he will soon need them. Quite a heavy frost fell in this latitude on Sunday night, the 12th inst., and as far as we have been able to learn did considerable dam age to vegetation. Workmen are now engaged in building one hundred coke ovens at Bennington Furnace, on the line of the P. R. R., eleven miles west of Altoona. Remember that the JOURNAL Joh Room turns out the handsomeat, most attractive and cheapest Sale hills in the county. Send ue your order. tf. The lower shops, at Altoona, received an order, on Friday last, for the building of one hundred box cars, which will be good news to the employees. The weather for the past few days has been anything but favorable for picnic parties, two or three of which have been on the tapir for some time past. The martens have been entirely driven away by the pugnacious sparrows. At least we have not seen a single marten about tbeir usual haunts this year. Rev. Dr. Hamlin has consented to deliver the oration at Altoona, on Decoration Day.— A rich literary treat is in store for the citizens of the Mountain city. Lewistown editors are quarrelling over the circulation of their respective papers. A. committee of investigation would soon settle the dispute, gentlemen. Cal. Wm. Dorris and family left town, on Saturday last, for Philadelphia, from which point they will sail this week for the Paria Exposition. Bon voyage. Our friend, Corbin, presides with dignity over a Mayor's court, and when he has more experience in the business prisoners will be disposed of with dispatch: A little set-to came off between a couple of Huntingdon's legal lights, on Thursday after noon, on Penn street, but no damage was done to either of the combatants. A bill has passed both branches of the kg islature to prevent the sale of articles of traffic or merchandise within one mile of any camp meeting held for religious worship. During the cold snap of Saturday overcoats, which bad been salted down for the summer, were brought out and donned. They looked unseasonable, but were comfortable. Indiana county, this State, seems to be the Mecca for horse dealers, and so many have been purchased there this Spring that the equine population is almost wiped out. As spiritous liquors will injure men, so opium or morphia will harmfully effect the baby. Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup is the remedy for the baby. It is free from opium. Price 25 cents. 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. We learn from the Oil City Times, that our friend, W. W. Greenland, esq , of Clarion, formerly of this place, hat head his household increased by the addition of a baby of the male persuasion. Gantz's Fourth Ward colored band, which was disbanded a few months ago, has been re organized, and our citizens were treated to a street parade and some pretty good music on Saturday night. A large drove of mules passed through this place, one day last week, eastward bound.— Amongst the number we noticed several, judging from their appearance, that were old enough to vote. Our old friend, David Hare, esq., of Porter township, contemplates an extended tour of the West this Spring, and during his absence his son, M. K. Hare, will attend to and trans act any of his business needing attention. "C. C. Math" is the way some of the Phila delphia papers put it. Mr. North, when he attends another Convention, will have to hustle a few greenbacks around the ears of the reporters, and such mistakes will not oc cur. The offices, sheds, stalls, &c., belonging to the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society, were purchased by Mr. John M'Cahan, on Sat urday last, at Constable's sale. We believe he intends to remove them off the ground at once. A number of young men in Hollidaysburg have bad a small steamer built, and on Thurs daY of list week, the craft was launched upon the placid waters Of the reservoir, where she Will be used for pleasure parties during the Summer. Rev. McKnight Williamson, father of our popular prothonotary, has been spending some time in our town. He resides at Cambridge, Ohio, and'is pastor of the Presbyterian church at that place. He has reached the ripe old ago of 78 years. Those of our business men, who took down their stoves to be ready for the advent of the heated term, were not good weather prophets, and many of them, when the polar wave swept over this place, on Saturday last, sensibly put them up again. A Polar wave struck this place, on Friday last,and tarried till Tuesday. Early on Satur day morning quite a heavy hail and sleet storm prevailed, and throughout the entire day warm stoves were in demand and felt quite comfortable. We were pleased to meet our friend, J. W. Vattern, esq., on the street, on Monday last. Mr. Matters has been confined to the house, for three months past, with an affection of the liver, but we are glad to know that he is slowly recovering. A couple of young men named Hicks, resi dents of Altoona, went out 3 n a jamboree, in that city, on Friday night last, and towards morning got into an altercation with a young man named M'Cabe, when one of the Hicks' stabbed him in the abdomen. The wound is a severe one, but is not considered dangerous. The Editorial Association of Pennsylvania will "flee to the mountains' as usual, on the 18th of June. Never having seen any rhodo dendrons or laurel, or whortle-berry bushes, or inhaled the pure mountain breezes, it will all be new to at least one out of every fifty.— How rejoiced we ought to be. Oh, MeNlenna min I A trio of young men, dealers is a patent cement, pitched their apparatus in the Dia mond, in this place, last week, and after set ting forth the good qualities of the article they had for sale, for the period of three days and nights, succeeded in disposing of three bottles, at 25 cents per bottle ; rather an un profitable enterprise. W. J. Fleming, esq., of Mattawana, Mifflin county, the gentleman who has been, and is still, engaged in getting up excursions for Kansas and more extreme western points, dropped in to see us on Friday last. It is his intention to get up another excursion in the near future, due notice of which he will give through the columns of the JOURNAL. Chief Westbrook pulled an up-town "bag nio" one night last week, and one of the in mates was quartered in the lockup for the night. The next morning he was before Mayor Corbin, who permitted him to go by payment of costs, but gave him to understand that if he was again arrested for a similar of fense he would find Jordan a hard road to travel. John Bolen, one of the tramps acquitted at the January Sessions, in this county, on the charge of being implicated in the robbery of McCulloch's hardware store, was arrested and imprisoned, in Harrisburg, on Saturday, for robbing a countryman of ten cents. Bolen is a hard nut and an old offender, as is evident from his frequent figuring in the police court of that city. Mr. Heifner, of McConnellstown, is the owner of a horse that sports a heavy mous tache, and whilst standing on Penn street, on on Saturday evening last, it was examined by scores of our citizens. The animal is a bright bay in color, whilst his moustache is as black as a raven, and curls as handsomely as any cultivated upon the lips of the most fastidious young gentlemen in town. We had a pop visit from our esteemed friend, Capt. John Brewster, one of Uncle Sam's postal clerks, on Monday last, who in forms us that within a week past be has been promoted from an Assistant clerkship to Chief Clerk, with an increase of salary. Cleverer men than Captain Brewster don't vegetate in this county, and a more efficient officer can't be found in the postal service. We congrat ulate him on his good fortune. Ha I Ha ! Ha-a-a I Reveng ! Berlood I They found a man guilty of stealing news papers from suhadribers' doors in York yes terday. They ought to melt him and run him in a roller mould.—ilarriaburg Telegraph.— Or, sbootin'-stick him.—Chambersburg Public Opinion. Or, plane(r) him down.—Everett Press. Or, give him to the 'devil," who will soon hustle him into that place, about the ex istence of which the great nest hider has some doubts. A little "onplsasantness" occurred between a couple of Timbuctoos, one evening last week, in the vicinity of the Fourth street bridge, and for a little while it looked as if there might be a first-class butting match, but outsiders interfered, and for the time being order was restored, but as both promised to have satisfaction in the future, we are inclined to think that the end is not yet, and we ex pect to get another local before the difficulty is settled. 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. A runaway horse created some excitement on Fifth street, Tuesday morning, by dashing under the awning in front of the Central Drug Store and tearing one of the posts from its position. The horse belonged to our young legal friend, Will Graffius, and the cause of his getting away from his driver was the breaking of the harness. The horse was un injured, but the buggy was pretty badly used up, and will have to undergo considerable re pairs before it will again be ready for the road. Timothy Sweeny, a workman in Mann's axe factory, in Mifflin county, met with a shocking death, on Wednesday morning of last week. He was engaged in adjusting some parts of the machinery, and in doing so his shirt sleeve caught in a cog wheel, and being unable to extricate himself he was drawn in and his body terribly mangled before the machinery could be stopped. He was aged about fifty years, and we understand leaves a wife and two ildren to mourn his sudden and shock ing death. A subscriber, in the Southern part of the county, complains that his neighbors carry off his JOURNAL every week before he has time to read it, and wants us to tell him what to do to prevent it. Well, we don't know how it will be done, for the JOURNAL is so popular over there that everybody wants to read it, and those who are either too poor or too stingy to subscribe for it, will borrow, beg or steal it in order to have the pleasure of read ing it. But every person should subscribe and pay for it. "Wby don't the Huntingdon Silver Cornet Band re-organize ?" is a question we hear asked almost every day. We have consulted some two or three members wbo express their willingness to revive the organization, and we recommend that a meeting of the members be called at once, and steps taken looking to its early re-organization. This was one of the best bands in the State, and it is a shame that it was permitted to succumb to the pressure of the times. Gentlemen, let us again bear the excellent music discoursed by the H. S. C. B. We believe Huntingdon is the only town be tween Philadelphia and - Pittsburgh, in which a newspaper is published, where the proceed ings of the Town Council are not furnished for publication. This body should order its clerk—and see that the order is complied with—to furnish all the papers with a full re port of the proceedings of every meeting. The tax-payers of the borough 14ve a right to know what is being done by Councils, and there is no better way to give them this infor mation than through the columns of the news paper. We hope some member of Councils will attend to this matter at the next meet ing. The extension of the Bedford and Bridge port railroad to Cumberland Md.. is now a settled fact and we expect that within six months from this issue, we will have the pleasure of chronicling the advent of the first P. R. R., engine and train over her own track in the Queen City. Already a large force of men are at work on grading and after a few days when the timber shall have been cleared away, the force will be increased. The dis tance from the present terminus of the road to Cumberland is only 6} miles. When the P. R. R., taps the B. 0. R. R., the Bedford dr Bridgeport passenger travel will be largely in creased.—Bedford Gazette. The Harrisburg Telegraph says that women cannot give a note ; cannot agree to pay by note of hand, according to a decision ofJudges Briggs and Elcock, of Philadelphia, who held in a case before them week before last, that a married woman had no power to bind herself by such an instrumept, although she carried on business on her own account, and, not withstanding the married woman's act of 1872, which - gives a woman a right tO her separate earnings as if she were a femme sole, judgment was refused. This will naturally curtail the credit of married women, who are in business which requires them to run it on notes negotiable ; but it is gratifying to know that there are married women in business in all parts of the country who would scorn to take advantage of the law in such a transac tion. On Sunday night an attempt was made to wreck a passenger train on the Pennsylvania railroad. The Fast Line east, when abou+ mile this side of Latrobe, ran into a pile of cross ties which had been placed upon the track. The ties were closely wedged between the tracks, and were placed just beyond a sharp curve, and on a spot where the road bed is on top of a high embankment; in fact a better place for causing a complete wreck could not have been selected. As it was, the engineer saw the obstruction the moment he rounded the curve, and immediately applied the air brakes. The train was checked in a very short distance, but still had enough mo mentum to strike and move the pile, and cause the engine to partly run upon it. The railroad company has offered a reward of $5.000 for their arrest.—Canztria herald. SPORTING NOTES.— Counsellor McNeal is the owner of the ugliest dog in town. • Ellwood Conrad has a beautiful setter dog, and he devotes much time and care to his training. The legal time for fishing for bass has been extended to July Ist instead of June Ist as heretofore. The Clarion Democrat has information that the renowned trotting horse Judge Fullerton, will be entered for the fall meetings in the Oil Region trotting circuit. M. M. McNeal, esq., shot a large wild duck, on the Juniata, a day or two ago. Mac. is becoming quite proficient in the use of his splendid breech loader. Col. Williams has four full blooded Beige! pups, and he is as careful of their every want as many persons would be of that many bairns. They are handsome little fellows, and if he has luck with them they will make music for their owner as they course over the peaks and knobs of Piney Ridge after the cotton-tails. About twenty of Huntingdon's sportsmen took passage on the ".Jutch Express" at noon, on Monday last, fGr Altoona to witness Capt. Bogardus and his son shoot at glass balls. For the following detailed report of the won derfal skill displayed by father and son we are indebted to the Morning Tribune of Tues day : About three hundred persons assembled to witness the shooting, which was to be at glass balls. The audience was very enthu siastic, and the skill displayed by both father and son was simply wonderful. Captain Bo gardus gave three specimens of his ability to handle his rifle in different positions. Eugene opened the exhibition. According to the programme he was to have shot at 25 balls.— The score as made by the youngster will show that he broke his twenty-five and did some thing beside. E. BOGARDUS. 1111111111111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1-27 The result of this wonderful performance by the boy was greeted with hearty applause. Captain Bogardus then, in the ordinary position, shot at twenty balls, pulling his own trap—making it more difficult—with the fol lowing result FACE TO TRAP. 11111111111111111111-20 The captain then said he would endeavor to break twenty balls in the reverse position— with his back to the trap—at the same time springing the trap. The result was as fol lows : BACK TO TRAP 111111010111 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1-17 The next performance was the attempt to break, by holding the shot gun in one hand, twenty balls. The captain sprung the trap in this feat also, and the result was certainly a surprise : ONE HAND 101111110111 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0-15 The final and most wonderful exhibition during the afternoon was the accomplishment of the proposition to break 100 balls in seven minutes. As will be seen by the score Cap tain Bogardus bad 52 seconds to spare, besides shooting at 106 balls. He missed but 2 out of the number, as follows : TIME SHOOTING 1111111110111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1111111111111 1 1 1 1.1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1111111111101 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1111111111111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1-104 Sonie money changed hands on the result of this exhibition, a certain resident of Hol lidaysburg going back to the county capital about $3O short. Several people on the grounds made crooked" propositions to Captain Bo gardus—such as asking him to miss shots that they might thereby be the gainers financially —but the captain respectfully informed the parties who made the proposals that he wasn't in that kind of business. The father and son went to Pittsburgh last evening, where Captain Bogardus will shoot a match to-day with Dr. Carver, of that city. 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. [may3-4t. NEWiPAPER DIRECTORY.—The issue for 1878 of the Newspaper Directory and Ad vertisers' Hand-book published by the world known advertising agency of S. M. Pettengill & Co., 37 Park Row, New York, has just come to hand. For simplicity and convenience of arrangement, comprehensiveness of scope and general accuracy, we have long regarded this as by far the best and most reliable Newspaper Directory published in the United States or elsewhere. It contains a camplete list of the Newspapers published in the United States and thr.British Provinces, a second list arranged, for the convenience of advertisers, in counties ; lists of the daily, weekly, monthly, religious, agricultural and specialist newspapers and pe riodicals, with full information as to charac ter, circulation and proprietorship, and a list of the leading newspapers of Great Britain, Australia and Europe. The volume is illus trated with portraits of Bayard Taylor, George W. Childs and Brete Heine among living, and Samuel Bowles, James Gordon Bennett, of the dead journalists of the United States, while an excellent steel engraving of Mr. S. M. Pet tengill appears as the frontispiece. An inter esting article on advertising, replete with hints drawn from long practical experience of the subject, should make this volume specially at tractive to enterprising business men. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—The early riser on Monday morning last was somewhat startled to see everything covered with a hoar frost, and as the morning advanced mortifica tion was depicted hi the faces of those who had been flattering themselves of luxuriating upon early vegetables. Beans, tomatoes, po tatoes, corn and grapes presented a sorry plight, and looked as if they had been swept by fire. The only grapes saved are those which were sheltered by the buildings beside which they fortunately happened to be grow ing. The more careful of our gardeners took the precaution to cover their tender plants, and those who did so saved them from the blighting breath of Jack Frost. But there is no use in complaining; there is plenty of time yet for the destroyed vegetation to be re planted and arrive at maturity. We have not learned whether other fruits were injured or not, but we believe the thick foliage of the trees was sufficient to protect them from any damage. The growing wheat and rye in this locality escaped injury, so far as we have been able to ascertain. POSSIBLY A CRIME.—A lady living at Birmingham, Huntingdon county, and known to be enciente, was suspected of having, on account of appearances, given birth to a child. On examination a new-made grave was found iu the neighborhood. On the grave being exhumed the naked body of a child was found and the supposed mother was confronted with the fact of the finding of the infant. She ac knowledge that the child was her own, but declared it to have been still-born, Drs. Ewing and Piper, of Tyrone, being called upon made an examination of the child, and they seem to be of the opinion that it was healthy and full of life at its birth. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon by the coroner of Huntingdon county,' and the true inwardness of the matter will be made known. The affair has created great excitement in that neigh• borhood. The lady is a married woman, but her husband has been too long absent in a certain institution in the western part of the State to be the father of the child. Its "daddy" is said to live in Tyrone.—Altoona Tribuno. Montgomery has the finest assortment of straw hats .in to7n,for men, *otttns, and ebildr.n. luy nue. •• • tukay3: 4t.

Black lace shawls are no longer fashionable but are still worn more or less. Jacqueminot roses are the favorite and most expensive flowers at florists now. • Handsome velvet picture frames have a vine of flowers embroidered upon them. A new style of bracelet is a simple wire of gold, with a medallion in the centre. Nev umbrellas are if ecru serge with flow ers embroidered in colors around the edge. Light kid gloves are used almost universally in New York for church and calling wear. The new hats are very quiet in shape, and black straw or soft chip is very fashionable. Carrick capes are seen on batiste and organ dy dresses, and even on morning wrappers. A very unique umbrella holder is in the shape of an inverted umbrella, handle and all. New bridal veils are of tulle, with vine of Marguerites and leaves, embroidered in white silk floss. The latest mixture of fine heads fur bonnets and trimmings is bronze and amber shaded with brown. Ladies should be careful in buying the new figured silks, for some of it frays out immedi ately on wearing. Pretty lace pins are in the shape of four leaves, with innumerable chains of sm tll silver beads and balls. Among the Japanese curios is a harp, the bridges under the wires being moved to regu late the flats and sharps. Very pretty new short dresses are made with three kilt-plaitiogs on the front and gathered flounces at the back. The new pocket handkerchiefs are very small and all have colored borders. The old ones are selling out for a song. In ear-rings one of the latest monstrosities is a silver arrow, which when worn looks as if it were thrust through the ear. A whisper from abroad affirms that the latest styles of gentleman's shirts are of black cambric, with smart white spots. French lace is very much used this spring, and some of it imitates the thread lace so closely that it requires a connoisseur to dis tinguish it. Mantles made of stripes of lace insertion and velvet, and bordered with lace, will be worn again this summer. They are very sty lish. The striped India shawls which used to sell for thirty or forty dollars are reduced to eight, ten and twelve, and are being sold for window curtains and partieres. The figured and striped grenadines in vogue now are not suitable for a complete dress. They are usually employed for polonaises and trimming over a silk skirt. FOUST VS. PA. CANAL CO.—This ins• portant suit, which has been banging in the Blair county court for a long time, was deci ded at Hollidaysburg last week. The trial be gan on Tuesday morning and occupied the at tention of the court for four full days. It was, says the Morning Triburne, really two suits tried together—the first brought in 1872 for damages amounting with interest to $1,465.45. It was alleged by the plaintiff that he had suf fered these damages through detention and universal wear and tear caused by the negli Bence of the defendant in relation to keeping the canal between .Hollidaysburg and the junc tion in navigable condition. A large number of witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff to establish the charge that the canal was not in navigable order, that the locks were, in many cases, in a dismantled condi tion, that sand bars were no Novelties, and that the Juniata boatmen had a hard time of it navigating the said canal. On the part of the defense it was alleged that the canal had been kept in good condition, that the deten tion alleged by the plaintiff was only such as is incident to inland navigation, that reasona ble diligence was exercised to keep the canal in good, navigable condition, that the wear and tear for which damages were claimed by the plaintiff were not extraordinary, but only the usual wear and tear incident to inland nay igation, and that on the whole no negligence having been shown there could be no recov ery. The cause was most admirably handled by Messrs. Landis and Baldridge for plaintiff, and Messrs. Hall and Neff for defendant. The case was given to the jury on Friday afternoon and on Saturday morning they came into court stating that they could not agree, but Judge Dean thought there was no reason for a disa greement and refused to discharge them. A verdict of $5OO for plaintiff was then handed in, but the court remarked as there were two causes, there must be two sums rendered, whereupon a juror remarked that for No. 13 they agreed upon $3Bl, and No. 215 $ll9. BATES' ADVERTISING AGENCY.—Mr. J. 11. Bates, lately senior partner in the news paper advertising firm of Bates St Locke, at No. 34 Park Row, having succeeded to the business of the firm, has rented and fitted up rooms in the Times building, No. 41 Park Row, The rooms are situated at the head of the first fUght of stairs, and occupy the entire Printing House Square end of the building, together with two large rooms, on Nassau street. The main office contains the business departments of the concern, consisting of the book-keeping department, estimate clerk's and check clerk's desks. Mr. Bates' office, with a small room adjoining for the transaction of private busi ness, fronts on Park Row. On the Nassau St. side is the check•room, where papers are ex amined and advertisements checked if properly inserted, and marked for correction if not in serted according to contract ; and back of this is the filing-room, where au elaborate system of boxes has been arranged for the accommo dation of the 6,500 newspapers which are kept constantly on file. These papers are arranged in alphabetical order, according to sections, and are in charge of a competent clerk, who is able to place his hand on any one of the vast number at a moment's notice. The main office is large, light, and airy, and the entire suite is admirably adapted to the wants of the exten sive business transacted by the house. Mr. Bates is one of the oldest advertising agents in the city, having been in the business for a great many years. He was for a long time a partner with Mr. S. M. Pettengill, with whom he continued until 1873, at which time he formed a co-partnership with Mr. D. R. Locke, at that time largely interested in the Toledo Blade newspaper, both as editor and stock holder. The firm was dissolved yesterday, ' and to day enters upon its career under the sole proprietorship and management of Mr. J. H. Bates.—N. Y. Times. MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. —A meeting of the Board of Trade of this place was held in the council room last Sat urday evening. The following gentlemen were present : S. E. Henry, President ; William Lewis, Dr. R. A. Miller, David Blair, J. G. Boyer, R. R. Bryan, J. Simpson Africa, Alex. Elliott, B. F. Isenberg and the Secretary. The report of the committee to solicit sub scriptions to secure the site for the Normal School reported that th 9 amount bad been raised and that the deeds for the ground bad been lifted. The By laws were then considered and adopt ed, and it was resolved to bold a meeting of the Association, Saturday evening, June Ist, at 8 o'clock, to revise the Constitution and transact such other business as may be brought before the Board. It was the determination of the members present, to maintain this orga nization, which has already been instrumental in retaining the Normal School in our midst and to adopt measures from time to time that will further promote the general interests of the town, and give an impetus to manufacture and enterprise in every branch of trade. Our citizens cannot afford to discourage such an association, composed of gentlemen whose ob ject is to see our town progress. Every citi zen who desires to promote the welfare of this community is welcome to become a member. —News, of Monday. VOTE OF THANKEL—At a meeting of the Trustees of the Huntingdon Normal School it was unanimously agreed, that the citizens of Huntingdon are entitled to a vote of thanks for the general good feeling that has been manifested toward our school project, and es pecially for the prompt and generous help pf those who were instrumental in securing for us the very beantiful acid desirible site upon which we are now preparing to erect our build ings. Accepting this liberal donation, in the spirit in which we believe it has been present ed, we shall do all in our power to make the enterprise a success, and we feel contdent that it will not be long until the school will be recognized on all bands as a benefit to the town, and an honor to the community.

TILE TRAMP SIDE OF THE STORY. EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir :—We see almost daily accounts of impositions practiced on people by tramps, as they are called, and while this is in a great measure true, still, there are two sides to this story. Tramps are not all highwaymen or robbers, as souse would represent them. We be lieve many good, honest men are traveling over our country at this time of necessity, out of em ployment, and out of money ; they have either to turn out in this way or starve, and just as soon as they get out of the bounds of their acquaintance they are classed with the tramps or highwaymen, so it is impossible for them to get employment. A poor man of this class recently gave a little histo ry of his trials as a tramp, that certainly is touch ing. He showed a number of wounds that he had received from men for merely asking for something to eat or drink. Although be had never done injury to any person, or property, he produced statistics to show that he was looked upon as a human monster. He showed one scar that he had receiv ed from the bite of a dog, set upon him by a farm er as he yntered his gate only to ask fora drink of water. e' Scar number two was received when a farmer pushed him off his steps for asking the time of day. The poor fellow, as he crippled off, said to the farmer, "suppose I am poor and ragged, had nothing for my breakfast but one raw turnip, and have no show for dinner, don't I want to know how time flies as well as any one else'!" He pro ceeded with hie story. On the knee here is where a teamster stabbed me with a hay fork, be cause I halted him and inquired the road to wealth. He thought I was making fun of him but I was not. I was honest in my question. If any man on earth wants to fins' that place I am the man. He took off his old shoe and showed that his big toe had been split in two by a man throwing an ax at him, all because he had asked his wife for something to eat. Ho then struggled out of his old coat and pulled up his ragged shirt sleeve and remarked, "some beautiful sears here. One night, when it was raining hard, I crept into a cow sta ble to rest and have a quiet hour to call up my childhood days, and think of a once happy home and a kind mother. But I had scaroely lain down when a couple of chaps began slashing me with corn cutters, and here are the scars from that night's work that I will carry to my grave, as proof of the truth I tell you." We have now given an outline of the wounds and sufferings this poor man had to endure as a tramp, and we have no doubt of its truthfulness, and it is no isolated case. A young man, who re cently passed through our county on his way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, tells quite as sad a tale as the one mentioned above. This young man had saved enough money to start a little stationery store with a partner in Philadelphia, but by some bad management of his partner, they wore sold out, and he was left with only $3O in his pocket. This he spent in paying his board bill, and in trying to get employment in Philadelphia, but without suc cess. Be had a rich friend in Pittsburgh whom he thought would start him in business if hecould get there, and as he had no money he thought he would steal a ride on a freight train, but he was compelled to jump off the car by one of the train hands drawing a pick handle over him, when the train was under full speed, and in jumping he fell and cut a terrible gash in his forehead, baring his skull, agd also had his nose broken. After gain ing strength enough to walk, he went to the com pany's physician and had his wounds dressed; then he undertook to make it to Pittsburgh on foot. For several nights he could not sleep for the pain suffered from his wounds. He had never been on der the necessity of begging his way before; he frequently went to farm houses and offered to work at anything at all to pay them for something to eat, or a place to sleep at night, but in almost ev ery instance he was driven off like a brute. For two days and nights he was without anything to eat or any place to sleep. Poor man. He said one night, when he was driven away from a house after dark, he went out into the woods and sitting down by a tree, hungry and cold, drew his over coat up over his head ac I prayed that he might go to sleep and never waken. Somewhere near Burnt Cabins he saw a man in the woods loading a wagon with bark, on Sunday, He was not in the habit of working on that day, but thought he had better work than starve, so he went to this man and offered to load his wagon if be would give him something to eat, or a place to sleep that night, but the man refused, said be could load his own bark, and would have nothing to do with him. We have now briefly told the tale of this young man's sufferings in comieg from Philadelphia to Huntingdon county, as related by himself. He wore very good clothes, and had all the appear ance of a truthful gentleman. We are happy to say here, that he met with a friend or two in this county who had souls large enough to give him money to take him to his friend in Pittsburgh. We have told the tale of this young man's troubles to show how cruelly poor men &retreated, who are under the necessity of traveling without money, especially by the rich, and we think pub lishers of papers should be careful how they pub lish anything calculated to lead people to treat this class of men badly, as no one needs any en couragement in this direction. Their condition is pitiable enough now. And to those who have sons, we would say, when you drive the poor tramp from your door, hungry and cold, and perhaps de ny him the privileges of a place in your barn to rest his weary head, think of your own sons. What assurance have you that they may not be oast upon the public penniless, like the young man mentioned above. True, you may be rich, and this may seem to you impossible. But remember the words of the wise man, "riches certainly make themselves wings and fly away." On the day be fore the great fire in Chicago men walked its streets worth their millions, and it would have been an open insult to them to have intimated, that they might ever come to want, yet the next day found them paupers, without a penny.
