Huntingdon county is having more than her share of political houors just now ; but there will be a change, as "it is a long lane that has no turn." The friends of education in this place are greatly disappointed at the inability of the directors to erect a suitable public school building this season. A lake of burning sulphur has recently been discovered in the Indian Territory, which fact will not be pleasant to contemplate by news paper "dead beats." An ice-cream and strawberry festival was held in the Penn Street Opera House on Fri day and Saturday evenings of last week, under Presbyterian auspices. If you want to know who are candidates for nomination this fall see "Political Announce ments" in another column. Every candidate should announce himself. A Mr. Fritz, of Cambria county, who has three thousand grape vines, don't expect to gather a dozen pounds of the fruit from oil the lot. The frost nipped them. We have bills against several townships in the county for publishing their annual state talents, which should be paid. We trust this matter will be attended to. Our bighly esteemed and jovial friend, J. G. Isenberg, esq., is at present suffering consid erable pain from a wound in the breast re ceived during the rebellion. The wife of Rev. D. W. Moore, of M'Vey• town, died on Wednesday night of last week The friends of Mr. Moore in this place sympa- thize with him in his affliction. If success depends upon health surely health depends upon pure blood. Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture maintains the blood in a state of purity, and health f.s the result. Our friend, N. F. Cunningham, esq., a native of "ye ancient borough," but for some years a resident of Altoona, illuminated our sanctum by his handsome phiz ou Friday last. The latest freak of fashion is for young ladies to carry small walking sticks. Some of them have pretty looking sticks—"soap sticks"--walking beside them as it is. Mr. John Gayton, lately assistant agent in the freight office of the P. IL R., at Mount Union, has been appointed by the Government an assistant clerk in the postal service. We are sorry to learn that our esteemed old friend, B. L. Greene, esq., of Three Springs, was considerably injured, a few days ago, by being knocked over by au unruly cow. A little child of Mr. Samuel Couts, residing at the corner of Fifth and Oneida streets, was slightly injured by being knocked down end run over by a wagon on Tuesday afternoon. Our next door neighbor, J. E. Port, was all smiles on Sunday morning, and all because he bad an accession to his household, the day previoes, of an heir of the female persuasion.

"The wicked stand in slippery places," but for a 1 ,-,; ,, :ct picture of reckless insecurity, you want to look at a frightened woman trying to stand on a camp-stool to keep out of the way of a mouse. A woman named Snyder, of Berks county, was mulcted in $350 damages, for gossiping about a minister. Huntingdon's gossips will please make a note of this and govern them selves accordingly. The fire laddies are trying to get up a first class demonstration on the coming Fourth of July. Give them the proper encouragement and Huntingdon will he crowded to overflow ing by sight-seers on that day. Our esteemed friend s Gen. D. S. Elliott, of Everett, is a candidate for Senatorial honors in the Bedford district. The General is a Republican in whom there is no guile, and we hope he may be successful. "Aunt Kitty . Kurtz," who was ninety-two years old in April last, walked from the corner of Second and Penn to Fifth and Chureh streets and attended services in the M. E. church on Sunday morning last. The agitation of a year ago, on the subject of abolishing firecrackers, &c., on the Fourth of July is being revived in many of the inland towns and cities. The Fire Insurance com panies are stimulating opposition to pyrotec nice. Jno. 11. Lightner, esq., of Shirleysburg. lost a package containing $362 whilst going from the bank to the express office, in Mount Union, a few days ago. The money was in an envel ope, pieces of which were discovered upon the street. Delinquents are requested to read the notice "Settle Up," on the editorial page of this paper. So far no attention has been paid to it, and we are determined that if "Mahomet will not come. to the mountain the mountain will have to go to Mahomet." A. J. Sypher, esq., the gentlemanly book keeper in Henry & Co.'s store, started on Mon day evening last for St. Paul, Minn., whither he goes for the purpose of recuperating his failing health. Our friend John M. Maguire, esq., succeeds him as book-keeper. A bill passed both branches of the legisla ture last winter for the taxing of dogs, and was sent to the Governor for his approval, which, we have no doubt, it will receive.— Each bitch is taxed $2 a year. each dog 50 cents, and every additional dog $1 per year. A couple of drunken umbrella menders loafed about town two or three days last week, and when they happened into a house where only females were present they behaved in a disorderly manner, refusing to leave until they seen fit to do so. Scald such scoundrels. The grand parade of Knight Templars, an nounced to come off at Altoona, on Thursday of last week, was dispensed with on account of the steady rain fall during that day. It was a great disappointment to the thousands of people who bad gathered in that city to witness the grand pageant. An exchange says, "when you see a man in town with a small load of wood in his wagon and three dogs under it, you bet your bottom dollar that you are gazing on one of that un fortunate class of people who can't afford to take a paper." Or, one who does take it, but but never makes any calculation to pay fur it. The Juniata News, the latest newspaper venture in Juniata county, has been received. It is a twenty-four column paper, neatly printed, well conducted, and is issued semi monthly, at fifty cents per year. We hope Mr. Moore, its editor, may find it a paying in stitution, of which we have very grave doubts. The post office, at Miffiintown, and a jewelry store in the same building, were robbed on Sunday night of last week, of postage stamps, several watches and watch-cases. A tramp, who gives his name as John Peters, was ar rested in Harrisburg the next day and several of the missing articles were found in his posses sion. Rev. G. W. Moore, who talked temperance in this place, a few Sundays ago, seems to have got himself into trouble, in Mifflin county, where he made an effort to induce a young girl to elope with him. From what we have heard of the Rev (?) gentleman through the papers we are disposed to vote him a fraud of the first water. Robert Lott has disposed of his span of elegant black horses and his omnibus to a gentleman of Tyrone. It looks as if there was something wanting about the depot upon the arrival of passenger trains not to see Bob's 'bus in its accustomed place, but the patronage was not sufficiently large to justify him in continuing to run it. More's the pity. With the beginning of the fourth volume of the Conference News, in October next, the paper will be enlarged and dressed in a new suit.— This paper is published by the Central Penn sylvania Book Room, at Harrisburg, at fifty cents per annum. It is a neat publication, and should be liberally patronized by the members and friends of the M. B. church. Mothers will grow weary and sigh over the responsibility that baby places upon them, but they have the high privilege of shaping a character for usefulness. The exercise of patience and the preservation of baby's health by the proper use of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup will give them great present comfort and pros pective happiness. 25 cents per bottle. A Harrisburg lawyer, named James B. Spiese, has just been convicted in the United States District Court, sitting at Philadelphia, for receiving au illegal fee for the collection of a pension. According to the pension laws a greater sum than $25 dare not be charged. In this case Spiese had collected $442.80 fur an old lady and gave her $5O fOr her share.— He has been sentenced to the penitentiary for eight months. Nearly every day we are interrogated as to who will be candidates for nomination before the Republican County Convention, and we are unable to answer the question only so far as the columns of the Republican papers are concerned, and judging from the small number of announcements, some of the offices will have to go begging for persons to fill them.— Candidates, let the people know who you are and what you want. Township supervisors and school boards throughout the county are making themselves liable to prosecution and fine by not publish ing their annual financial statements. The law requires them to be published in the two papers "having the largest circulation among the citizens interested," and the penalty for a failure to comply with the law is a fine of $5O. Those interested should give this mat ter their immediate attention. The police of Altoona have arrested several persons for despoiling lots in the cemetery, near that city, of flowers and other shrubbery. Our owa beautiful Cemetery Hill suffers frons similar acts of vandalism, to which we have frequently called the attention of those in authority. The sexton, Mr. Johnson, should be vested with the power to arrest any person caught plucking flowers or in any way dis turbing the graves in that sacred spot. 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.

Miss Kate Burchinell, daughter of Thomas Burehinell, deceased, and well known to the citizens of this place, died at the residence of her mother, near Hollidaysburg, on Thursday morning of last week, of typhoid fever, She has many warm friends and school mates in Huntingdon who will deeply mourn her de parture from earth. Her remains were brought to this place on Friday afternoon and interred on Cemetery Hill beside her father and other friends who bad preceded her to that unknown country. The banks of the Juniata river and of the Raystown Branch were thickly lined with bass fishermen on Saturday last, and every person who caught a bass on that day and failed to return it to the water again, is liable to pros ecution and fine, as the legal time for taking bass does not begin until the Ist day of July. A bill passed both branches of the legislature last winter fixing the time for bass fishing on June Ist, but as far as we have been able to learn the Governor has not yet signed it, and consequently the old law is still in force.— Since the above was in type the Governor has signed the bill and it is now a law. Ladies, it has been remarked, as a general rule, imagine that care in putting away furs is all that is required ; they think they can wear them when and how they please, provided they spend a few pence for camphor when they lay them aside. This idea should be corrected. More harm is done to furs by wearing them for a week after the weather has become warm than during the whole cold season. When they are put aside they should be brushed the right way with a soft brush, an old linen handkerchief folded smoothly over them, and a piece of gum camphor kept in the box all the time, to scare intruders in the shape of moths. We find the follo - .ving plan for getting rid of red ants going the rounds of our exchanges, and we transfer it to our columns for the benefit of those of our lady readers who may be troubled with these pests : Grease a plate with lard and set it where the ants are trouble some ; place a few sticks around the plate for the ants to crawl upon ; they will desert the sugar bowl for the lard ; occasionally turn the plate over the fire where there is no smoke, and the ants will drop into it; reset the plate, and in a few repetitions you will catch all the ants; they will trouble nothing else while the lard is accessild?.. Also a good way is to sprinkle powdered borax over the shelves and blow it into their haunts. Borax is clean and not at all injurious should it happen to get on food.

LEWIS, june7 2t] 620 Penn St. DECORATION DAY.—As ample arrange ments as usual had been made for the decora tion of Soldiers' graves on the 30th ult., and there would have been as large an attendance as on former occasions, had not the weather turned out very unfavorable. It commenced raining before 11 o'clock in the morning, and continued to pour down until after the hour set for the commencement of the services. As soon as there was a cessation of the rain fall, the Memorial Association and many citizens met in the Court House, and decided by reso lution to proceed at once to the Cemetery and decorate the graves, and that the reading of the oration be postponed until evening. They then repaired to the hill where the remains of the heroes lie buried, and silently and rever ently strewed upon the graves the flowers that had been sent in abundance by the people of Huntingdon. A few days previous an Irish Juniper had been planted on each grave as a more permanent memorial tban the flowers and typical of the fact that the patriot dead should be ever green in our remembrance. In the evening, the oration prepared by Rev. A. Nelson HolMeld, who was prevented from delivering it by absence at the funeral of a relative, was read by J. It. Simpson, esq., and was as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen, and Members of the Soldier's Memorial Association: Permit me to ackowledge the honor you have conferred iu selecting me so the orator of this occasion, and to express my sincere regrets that the choice has not fallen upon one more competent and worthy to do justice to the theme and the day. When the infant Republic of France was in the throes of a mortal struggle with the great powers of Europe, "the young Corsican" was sent to command the ill-fed, poorly clad, and unpaid army of Italy. From their post in the Appenines, this gallant command fell like an avalanche upon their numerous foes, and victory followed victory so rapidly, that three times within the brief space of fifteen days, the National Assembly of France had declared by solemn decree that the soldiers of the army of Italy had deserved well of their country." To—day, throughout this hind, from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from Ocean to Ocean, a grander and more pow erful body than the Nation! Assembly of France, are pro claiming to the world, for the eleventh time, that "the great army of the Union, which fell amid the smoke and clash and boom and shrieks of battle, deserve well of their country, and shall receive it." We have assembled in this beautiful city of the dead in which reposes the precious dust of many of these martyred heroes, to adorn with fresh and fragrant flowers their honored graves. The custom is an old one, doubt less co-eval with the race. Hands that have been folded in the sleep of fifty centuries planted the yew tree and the weeping willow over the graves of loved ones ; and twined the ivy about the sepulchres of their sainted dead. The tomb of Achilles was decorated with amaranth; the urn of Philopmmen, was crowned with garlands; the grave of Anacreon was adorned with ivy and flowers, and Virgil decorated the statue of Pallas wills the trailing arbutus and evergreens. It was the custom of the Greeks and Romans to thus decorate their graves. Simonides wrote as an epitaph for Sophocles: Wind gentle evergreens to form a shade, Around the tomb where Sophocles is laid, Sweet ivy wind thy boughs and intertwine, With blushing roses and the clustering vine ; So shall thy lasting leaves with beauty hung, Prove a fit emblem fur the lays he sung." Shakespeare represents Katherine, pale, broken-hearted and unqueened, as saying: "When I am dead strew me over, With maiden flowers, that all the world may know, That I was a chaste wife to my grave." Ile also represents Paris, standing at night, at the grave of Juliet, strewing flowers upon it and saying: "Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew." Milton calls upon the vales of summer to cast !`their belle and flowerets of a thousand hues," upon the tomb of his beloved Lycidias. And Manoah says he will build Sansom "A monument, and plant it round with shade, Of Laura], evergreen and branching palm, The virgins also, shall on feastful days visit his tomb with flowers." So this custom comes down to us as a legacy from gen erations long past, and never was it employed in a wor thier cause, or in honor of nobler dead. The wisdom of all ages has Gees taxed to invent some fitting memorial for the great, the noble and the brave. Lofty pillars of marble like those erected by Sesostris 3000 years ago, have been reared in every land and age, to commemorate the virtues and perpetuate the memory of a nation's heroes. When the "5115 01 Austerlitz," blitz ed in its zenith glory, the cannon from a hundred memor able fields of battle supplied the bronze for the monu ment which Napoleon reared amid the loud acclaims of an admiring people, to tell in sculptured characters, wrought in the highest style of the art, the history of his wonderful achievements, and the glory of sunny France. _ But our simple memorial of our illustrious dead, is more lasting than polished shafts of marble, or the more enduring monuments of bronze. These must feel "the keen tooth of time." The breath of passing years will wipe out their proud inscriptions, and beneath the touch of ages they will crumble into dust. But our memorial is one which is renewed fi om year to year. "It takes new lustre from the touch of time " It is as fresh to-day as it was when first a gratful na tion reared it over the new made graves of her fallen war rim-s. And a century hence, it will be the same, yea, as long as seasons last, and flowers bloom, loving hands will place upon these graves the just tributes °fr. nation'sgrat itude and love. "These Are more lasting than the lanes, Reared to the Kings and demigods of old, Then let us strew the eel With the first flowers of Spring and to make to them An offering of the plenty nature gives." Not only is our memorial more enduring than marble or bronze, but it is vastly more expressive. Marble is too cold, too lifeless ; bronze too dark, iho hard, both nre too earthly in their character to give ex pression to the deep, pure tender sentiments which etrug gie in our breasts for expression when we stand in the presence of our dead. We instinctively desire for our thoughts a form like unto themselves ; so we turn to the fair, fresh, fragrant Powers of Spring, to ;Ind in them the most fitting symbols of those cherished feelings, for which marble and bronze, and even the sweetest cadences of song, seem too gross a medium. Marble and bronze, and cyan golden human speech are voiceless, compared with these flowers. They possess a language not of earth, and yet one that is understood in every age and every nation. "In Eastern lands they talk in flowers, Aud they tell in a garland, their loves and their cares, Each blossom that blooms in their garden bowers Ou its leaves a mystic language bears." And for no, too, "Tender thoughts beneath lheee silent flowers are lying." let Flowers are the inspired symbols of man's mortali• ty. We read in God's word : "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. lie cometh forth like a flower uud is cut down." "As for man his days are as grass, as a flower of the fjeld so he flourisheth ; for the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; and the place thereof shall know it no more." Here we have snow white buds, they remind us of lovely infants who are asleep within the tomb, and are emblems of their spotless innocence. • Here we have the half opened rose, it tells of the chit. dren of older years, who passed away when the loveliness of their nature was bat bait expanded. Here we have the full blown rose, the perfection of beauty, it speaks to us of those of maturer years, upon whom death lies, "Like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flowers o f all the field." Who were laid beneath the shades of this sacred place, in the full bloom of a holy man or womanhood, cut off in the bright midsuunner of existence. Here we have a flower, sere and faded, it is co emblem of those who have been gathered to the grave "As a shock of corn full ripe." And these flowers, cut, torn and rudely broken from the parent stem, touchingly remind us of the sudden and vlo. lent death of those who were torn front ue by the unre lenting hand of cruel war. 2nd. These flowers, things of heavenly beauty—natures, censers of .iweetest incense, are symbol, of the beauty of the lives, and the fragrance of the deeds of our fallen de fenders. . . . . The highest type of man, is the Christian patriot. The noblest deeds—those in which life is offered for the sake of others. The lives of these men were radiant with the glory of sanctified patriotism, and their devotion to their country was sealed with their precious blood. As we behold these liowers,their beauty reminds us of the beauty of the lives of these noble men ; and their fragrance, of the fragrance of their heroic deeds. The beauty of these flowers will fade and their sweet odors became exhausted ; but the beauty of their lives will be more clearly revealed, as the years go by, and the fragrance of their deeds will outlast all dynasties and empires. Better to have so lived, as to win Lille simple garland, with which we deck these hallowed tombs to-day, that to have worn the coronet of kings, 3rd. These flowers tell of our affection fur these noble men. They are the truest language of love. 'We come to lay them on these graves to-day, as the holy offerings of our loving, grateful hearts, to the men who died for us,— who when our homes and altars and our flag were assailed defended them at the cost of their lives, Then bring your flowers, bring them as the tokens of your love and gratitude, and scatter them upon these mounds. Bring the fairest, the choicest and the most fra grant flowers of your gardens, and place them on these graves, for such noble men are worthy of the richest tri butes of a nation they redeemed with their blood. 4th. These flowers are symbols of the resurrection. They were plucked from stalks and stems that once existed on ly in the bulb or root or seed beneath the sod. That bush now bending beneath its weight of roses, we saw a few weeks ago when it WAS leafless, and the snow of winter laid upon it. These flowers then, children of mould, and decay and death, are types of the resurrection ; they tell us that these bodies which lie mouldering in these graves, shall rise from the dust. "Though sown in corruption, they shall be raised in incorruption ; though sown in dishonor they shall be raised in glory; though sown in weakness they shall be raised in power ; though sown natural bodies they shall be raised spiritual bodies." In the light of this teaching, of these flowery teachers, how changed this place. Instead of a great charnel 1101160, filled with nothing but the dust and bones and mouldering bodies o f the dead—a place to be dreaded and shunned— whose shade and silence terrify us-it becomes "God's Acre,"—a garden sown with precious seed—and when the wintry days of life are gone foreYer, and the genial spring time of eternity dawns upon our earth, beautiful and fra grant flowers will spring from these grassy mounds and God will "Place them in those everlasting gardens, Where angele walk, and seraphs are the wardens, Where every flower brought safe through death's dark portal, Become,. immortal." Then bring your flowers and east them upon those graves ; they will lead your thoughts into another and a brighter world than this; where they grow in perennial loveliness, where sorrow and sighing never come,—whero death io banished, and the forms of our loved once which have de parted from us .1.111 stay in our presence forever. Bring flowers, strew them here, for they whisper to us. and tell ua that above there is a camping ground for spir its, and that we shall again meet with these comrades whose martial tread still convulses the world, and in them behold "the chosen senators of 'leaven." . My Fellow-Citizens, I cannot close my address, without directing your special attention to that portion of the or der of the Grand Army of the Republic respecting the ob servance of this day, which, after ordering that the graves of our soldiers be decorated, reads: "Resolve, That the fruits of their sacrifices shall not be logt." And this, next to honoring our dead, is the great end to be secured by this service. We have considered its rela tion to the dead,—let us for a brief while consider its rela tion to the living. We have said that these reposing he roes laid down their lives for their country. Vlrestruinister Abbey, one of the most magnificent structures in the me tropolis of the world, contains a simple tablet with this inscription, "Beneath lies Christopher Wren, the architect of this church and city, who lived inure than ninety years, riot for himself alone but for the public, would you see his monument? Look around." So, these noble men were the architects of our National Temple. "Would you see their monument? Look around." This great nation, the marvel of all ages, stretching from sea to sea, and giving protection to 40000,000 of freemen throwing wide open her golden doors, and inviting the down-trodden and oppressed of all peoples, to find within her temple of liberty a home, guaranteeing equal rights to all. "With a government of the people, for the people and by the people," is the purchase of their blood. 200,000 died in the war of the Revolution, and 350,000 in the war of 1861. At Waterloo, 300 bodies were thrown int , a well, and tradition says that the night after their burial their voices were hesrd calling aloud. From the graves of the hundreds of thousands who have fallen in defence of the liberties of this land, comes up a voice saying to us, "Preserve the fruit of our sacrifices, and secure to the latest generation the precious boon of national freedom." How shall we best preserve our national existence. let. There are those who rely upon education. They tell un that education alone will save us from national degeneracy and extinction. lint educutioo and moral excellence are not inseparably associated. An educated man in not necessarily a virtuous man. An educated nation is not necessarily a virtuous nation. More is needed than mere intellectuality to conserve our nationality. It was at the period of her greatest enlightenment that France experienced the horrors of the Revolution,—when the mob ruled and death held high carnival in that sunny land. The star of intellect never shone more brilliantly in art, in literature and in 'science than in that epoch of anarchy and ruin. . . . . . . The Charles' reigned in England during an age, charac terized by great intellectuality. Some of the greatest men of English t irth lived in those times, yet what a sad age it was! an age of oppression, of civil war and blood shed, an age when innocent men were beheaded, and kings broke their plighted faith,—an age of religions intolerance and persecution. Says one of our historians in writing of this period of England's history : "It was safer to be wicked in those days than to be virtuous and upright; virtue and religion were looked upon as treason in the reign of Charles the H." Yet this was an intellectual age. If we are wise we will not depend upon our school houses and academies and colleges and universities to preserve our national existence. Our institutions of learning are worthy of our fullest confidence and support, let them be multiplied and liberally sustained in every hamlet in the land; yet re member that education, purely intellectual in its charac ter, is no guarantee of national reform or of the perpetu ity of government; but on the other hand it contributes whey unsanctified and falsely directed to increase mural darkness and endanger the liberties of a free people. "The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life." 2nd. There are those who rely for the perpetuity ofour nation, upon our military power. The success of our armies upon storied fields of battle, and the victories of our navy on the seas that bound our continent have been so innumerable and brilliant that they have learned to look upon our arms as invincible. They are confident that the battalions which in the infancy of our Republic successfully resisted the attacks of Great Britain, and subsequently subdued a rebellion of unsurpassed magni tude, can protect her liberties forever. Not one word would we utter against our noble soldiers, a braver, truer hearted set of men never lived. We would not uudeirate our military strength. It is great. To-day our country is a Gibraltar. We could resist any possible combination from without, and quell any uprising from within. But we should remember that the military force of a nation may be used and has often been used to subvert as well as sustain the liberties of the race. This engine which is so powerful in building up a nation and securing to it its proper rights, may be turned against it and used to bring it into bondage, worse than death. Again, no force, no matter how great, how well officered and equipped,—how brave—can shield us from the retri butions of God's righteous wrath, with which he visits the nations that forget him. In a moment lie can sweep the mightiest armies Jut of existence, with the breath of pestilence, and sink the proudest armament that floats upon the seas, with the fierce storm. The forces of the nations of antiquity did not avail them, when God visited them in indignation. Its- clasheu them upon the stones as a potter's vessel and scarce a vestige remains to tell of their departed glory. Assyria, once mistress of the world—Egypt once a mighty kingdom—Africa boasting her hundred gated Thebes, and Sesostris and Hannibal; together with the powerful kingdoms of Media,Persia and Grecia which were shown to Daniel in the visions of the ram and the rough goat, have all passed away. Their arms did not preserve them. Neither will ours. Notwithstanding our prowess, we may be dropped from the galaxy of nations, and exist only in the splendor of our ruins and the page of his tory. . . _ . 3d. The only thing that can perpetuate our national exist ence, is the incorporation of the principles of the gospel into our laws and lives. This Republic is the outgrowth of the principles of this volume. The men who reared the superstructure found their plans drawn by a Divine hand. within these pages. This book is the foundation of our National edifice. We have been building upon it for more than a hundred years.; it supports the buttressed walls—the great domes and the cloud kissing spires of our National temple. As long as this foundation stone re mains it is safe. It it remains so long, this temple will be lighted up by the brightness of the resurrection morn ing. But remove it and this massive edifice will topple to ruins and be forgotten. A glance at the nations of the earth will show what the influences of this book really are in prospering and perpetuating a nation. In America, and across the sea in Scotland, England and Prussia the Bible has long been an honored Book. It is found in the homes of all the people, its influence is every where manifest, and these lands are renowned for the intelligence, patriotism and virtue of the people. But cross the Rhine and visit France; there fur many centur ies the Bible was a banished book, and this accounts tor the utter ignorance of more than one-third of her adult male population, for her infidelity, and the bloody Revo lutions which have so often changed her rulers, end cost her so much treasure of blood and money. Cross t lie Alps and visit Italy. From this fair land the Bible was exclud ed by papal edict for centuries, and though once, Rome was the capital of the greatest empire that the world ever saw, you will now find the glory of it faded, the people ignorant, indolent, VICIOUS find degraded. Visit Africa, visit Naples, Sicily, Spain and Mexico, lands from which the Bible has long been expelled; and you will find the same ignorance and cruelty and degredation there—sod then look in upon the Island of Madagascar, and the Sandwich Islands which have been redeemed from bar barism by the Gospel. Says an American historian, ..lt is a remarkable fact, that no heathen nation or country has ever existed, where the people were generally lovers of justice, truth and charity. Public opinion in all heathen countries; ancient and modern, has been found to be an unsafe guide, it is only in Christian countries where the laws of truth and morality are established on the basis of the bible, that the national faith can be trust ed." An African Prince being sent as an envoy to the Court of St. James, asked Queen Victoria to tell him the secret of her country's greatness. In reply she handed him a copy of the Bible, and said, "This is the secret of England's greatness." Benjamin Franklin well said "A newspaper and Bible in every house, and a good school house in every district, all stupid and appreciated as they merit are the principal supporters of virtue, morality and civil liberty.' , (den. Stonewall Jackson wisely remarked to a friend that "The Bible was the bulwark of our Republican institu tions, the anchor of our present and future satety." Well would it be if our whole people were brought to believe this. God has declared that "The nation and kingdom that will not serve him shall perish." And all history shows that there can be nu permanent success aside from God. So long as the Jews were careful to obey Jehovah's words respecting the observance of the Sabbath day they were made to ride upon the high places of the earth. But no sooner did they disobey this command than they were threatened with destruction. Their pity was destroyed, their altars overthrown, their temples burnt to the ground, and they were carried away into a severity years captivity. If as a nation we honor this hook as God's word and practice its principles, the richest blessings of the infinite Being will rest upon us, and we shall become a great and good people, a blessing to all lands. But if we slight this book, if we banish it from our schools, if we fail to incor porate its principles into our laws, refuse to be governed by its rules, if we desecrate the Sabbath, oppress the poor, deal other than justly with our follow men, then God will write upon our walls "Mese, inane tekle upharsin." But 1 have already consumed too much of your time, I will not detain you longer from your duties. Go, cast your flowers upon these graves, and as you do so, resolve that God's word shall be the Supreme law of this nation, and the sheet anchor of the ship of State. THE COMING FOURTH.—An effort is on foot to have an old.fashioned celebration in this place, on the Fourth of July. At a meeting of the Fire Company, on Monday night last, a committee was appointed to wait upon the citizens and ascertain if a sufficient fund could be raised to warrant those having the matter in charge to go ahead and make preparations. If the citizens subscribe liber ally the intention is to invite a number of fire companies to visit us on that day and partici pate in a grand parade and a trial of their steamers. We see no reason why the project should not be successful, and we trust the committee of firemen, who are now canvassing the town, will be warmly received and their request for funds liberally responded to. SUPREME COURT DEclsioNs.--The following celes from this count} were dispos ed of in the Supreme Court, now in session in Harrisburg : Myton's appeal. Appeal quashed. Durborrow's appeal. Taxation of costs af firmed. In the case of Hammond vs. Livingston, the appeal was quashed. This is the patent right case, tried in the Mifflin county courts, in which Peter Livingston, of this county, was "diddled" out of a large sum of money by sharpers. KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN.—While the building of a new school house was in con templation, the Directors decided to close the schools on the 7th inst., so that the erection could be commenced ; but as the building has been necessarily postponed, why should the schools be closed at that date. It is too early when there is no special reason for closing them. Let the Directors reconsider their ac tion and keep them open a month longer.

SAULSBURG, HUNTINGDON COUNTY, PA, May 29th, 1878. EDITOR JOURNAL :—Public morals are best served by a vigilant enactment of protective laws suitable to the condition of society. It is wrong in theory as well as vicious in prac tice, to undertake to legislate society into ex istence. It is the mission of law to regulate, not to create. What, therefore, is now de manded at the hands of law makers is a sys tem of laws regulative in their nature as well as curative in their operation on the body po litic. Society is spontaneous in its origina tions, but not always homogeneous, hence the necessity of law for the repression of the ele mental parts that do not of natural selection fall into harmony with the great body of so• ciety in its formative process. Any law com manding society to do what natural selection under the laws of nature forbids, must of ne cessity be oppressive, and therefore odious to the class whose moral development is sought. It is of no service to society to declare the wrong, without making plain the way to the right. The cry of fraud and the charge of ex travagance, unaccompanied by legal provis ions preventive of these disorders in society go fur nothing in the minds of those who have long been accustomed to logical rea soning and judicial provisions for such maladies. What, therefore, shall we, as a na tion, do to be saved from the rule of commu nism, which it is charged threatens the very foundations of society? Shall we swell our standing army to one hundred thousand men, and proportionately enlarge our navy? We do not think that this would cure the disease. While we do believe that the army should be raised to fifty or a hundred thousand men for the general good of our institutions,yet we ob• ject to using the army against men who are out of employment, not of choice, but of necessity. Our unemployed citizens are not outlaws, nor are they communists. What they want is work from which the necessities of themselves and their suffering families may be supplied. Is it impossible for this end to be reached by legislation ? We think not ; labor is cheap and the Government has all the work that its citi zens can possibly do, if proper legislative pro visions are made. Harbors and rivers are needing improvements, public buildings in ev ery State and Territory for the accommoda tion of the Judiciary, the Revenue and Postal Departments are demanded, and appropria tions for carrying forward these public works to a speedy completion, should be made. Again, if Congressional aid in the way ofdona tions ofcertain public lands, with properreser • vations, are offered, new railroads will call for the labor of hundreds of thousands of men who will answer spade in hand, at the first call. And if the Government will look to its maratime interests, and will offer such protec tion as will secure the capital invested, new lines of ships will soon stretch across the oceans for the purpose of carrying untold mil. lions, that a happy and prosperous people will offer to the European markets. It is a cow ardly and false economy to refuse to expend the people's money for these things. The peo ple are willing to pay a reasonable tax, when by doing it, they enhance the value of their farms and create a market for their prodace, and, besides this, when all citizens are em— ployed, all pay their part of the Government expenses, and thus no one is overburdened. If, therefore, we can have wise and prudent legislation, communism will flee to the fields and to the shops, and prosperity and order will be restored to society, and good morals will be promoted, giving joyous occasions for happy rejoicings of the people throughout the entire land. The people demand honest men for law makers, they are not longer to be the menial slaves of political parties. They de mand just laws, and those, they can and will have, regardless of the demands of men who have not the wisdom to provide for the peo ple. Lawmakers hear the voice of the people, this article contains their wishes, will you grant their petitions? Delay is dangerous ! American freemen are not communists. They demand work and this they must have—and this is yet the mission of that grand old Re pifblican party, the principles of which has suc cessfully carried us through in the darkest hour's of the nation's trial, H.
