The Yews will live to a ripe old age if it waits to pass in its "checks" from a similar disease; there is neither political nor any other kind of wit in its columns. A pickpocket went through the editorial excursionists at Cresson, and half an hour afterwards he was observed sitting on the hotel balcony ruefully surveying three wooden toothpicks, a brass rule and the stump of a lead pencil.—Rarristurg Telegraph. Amateur newspapers, under a late ruling of the post office department, are subject to postage at the rate of one cent for two ounces.

Evans, of Stone Creek, dropped in to see us the other day, gave us his name as a subscriber, and handed over a couple of the "dollars of the daddies." He is a pleasant gentleman, and we are pleased to know is meeting with success in his profession. There is a jeremy diddler travelling the eastern counties of the State swindling the farmers out of their money by selling them a paten t" Wagon Tongue Supporter" and "Patent Shears." Huntingdon county farmers will do well to keep a top eye open for the fraud. Col. John Woods, a few years ago a promi nent landlord in Altoona, died in the Blair county alms house on Wednesday of last week, aged about 59 years. Having met with 6nan eial reverses, be preferred dying where be did rather than being a burden to his children. This from an exchange is sound advice : "Habitual promenading of the streets by young girls and the counting of the stars by corner loafers is injurious to a good reputation." A little gum on the back of this paragraph will enable the parents to stick it on the looking glass. The dead body of an infant was found, tied up in an old coffee sack, in an abandoned mill race, near Tipton, Blair county, on Sunday last. From wounds upon its head it looks as if it had been murdered previous to being thrown into the water, The case will be in vestigated, Burglaries are committed almost every night in the week in somepoint of the Juniata Valley. There seems to be an organized band of thieves operating in this section. A dose of cold lead would be the best panacea that we know of for these gentry ; it would save the costs of a prosecution.

Ehrtait, of Lawrence county, wholiad been is Altoona for a couple of weeks in search of work, died suddenly, in one of the stores in that city, on Friday after noon last, of hemorrhage or the lungs. He was aged about 26 years and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his early and sudden death. The congregation of the Second Presbyterian church, in Altoona, met on Wednesday eve ning of last week, for the purpose of selecting a pastor, and upon a ballot being taken be tween Rev. S. W. Duffield, of Auburn, N. Y., and Rev. W. F. Brown, of Newark, Ohio, the former gentleman was chosen by a vote of 126 to 81. Mr. Ferdinand. Corbin, a prominent citizen of Barree township, and for many years a resi dent of this place, died at his residence in that township, on Monday last. For many years he has been a sufferer from severe rheumatic attacks, and which, we believe, finally caused his death. His remains were interred in this place on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Fannie Hamlin delivered a temperance lecture, or more properly speaking, made a political speech, in the M. E. church, in this place, on Sunday evening last. During her discourse she read extracts from the platform adopted at the late temperance convention, and took special pains to champion the cause of the nominees of that body. Are you going to excurt on the coming 4th, or will you stay at home and help swell the crowd expected in Huntingdon on that day?

Buy your flags for the occasion at the JOURNAL Store, where you can get them from one penny up. Allegheny street, in the vicinity of the Fourth street bridge, was the scene of con siderable excitement on the evening of the robbery of the Hawn brothers. Every arrival from Juniata township increased the excite ment, and the persons were importuned by the eager crowd with questions in regard to the latest news from the scene of the robbery. The Cambria Iron Company, at Johnstown, has just received an order for 18,000 tons of iron rails, and the same company refuse.' an order fur 10,000 tons additional, which were wanted at once. Orders on hand will keep the mills running at their full capacity until the first of November, which will be good news for the employes of that establishment. The Awls, of Cumberland county, who own numberless farms iu that section, have suc cumbed to the pressure of the times, and eighty-six farms or tracts of land are under the Sheriff's hammer. We do not know whether Dr. Awl, the gentleman who helped to impoverish poor old Jimmy Walls, is in the party or not, but if he is he should receive no sympathy. We had a pop visit from our young friend, Will Cott, of Columbus, Ohio, one day last week, who is on a visit to friends in this place. Will was one of our "carrier boys" in the long ago, and we are pleased to know that he is engaged in prosperous business. He was a good boy, and we feel safe in saying that he is a responsible business man. May good fortune ever attend him. A female organist, accompanied by two or three small children, made her appearance in this place on Friday afternoon, and picked up a goodly number of nickles in her peregrina tions through the town. She reports herself as being a widow with four children dependent upon her for support, and she has adopted this certainly unpleasant mode of making a living for herself and little ones. Poor old Jimmy Walls still hangs about our town, ragged and hungry, talking of the imaginary law-suits he has on hand to recover the fortune stolen from him by the heartless Shylocks into whose hands he fell a few years ago. Poor old man, justice will not be done him in this world, but let us hope that the sharks who robbed hi n will have ample justice meted out to them in the next. "Lives there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself bath said, I'll pay, before I go to bed, The debt I owe the printer. 'Yes, there are some, we know full well, Who never yet that tale could tell, But they, we hear, will go to—Well, The place where there's no Wintn.' —Shamokin Times. J. B. Seal, esq., editor of the Millersburg Ilerald, dropped in to see us on Friday morn ing last, on his return from Cresson, where he had been in attendance at the annual meeting of the Editorial Association. From our brief acquaintance with him we would vote him a clever gentleman, and if business or pleasure should call him thitherwatd we hope lie will again give us a sight of his hand some phiz. 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 colurc.,s. tf. A dog fight, on Canal Avenue, between Third and Fourth streets, on Sunday evening last, drew together a crowd of over a hundred persons, and for a little while created con siderable excitement in that neighborhood ; but strange to say the thing passed off with out any human dogs indulging in a set-to, although one seemed inevitable between the friends of the respective canines. The dogs showed good blood, and in order to separate them they had to be thrown into the canal, where they continued to "chaw" each other for at least five minutes. We are in receipt of the London Timer: of the 10th inst., containing sixteen pages of closely printed matter, about ten pages of which are occupied by advertisements, as compactly set up as it is possible for them to be. It is claimed to be the greatest newspaper in the world. It may be, as far as large revenues are concerned, but in regard to good looks and neat typography it can't hold a candle to some American papers that we have in our mind's eye. We recognize the well known chirography of our friend and fellow townsman, Col. Dorris, upon the wrapper, and we tender him our thanks for enabling us to get a squint at the "Thunderer." Many of our contemporaries are warning parents and guardians and all other well-dis posed persons to guard against the wiles of those unprincipled scoundrels, in the large cities, who propose to furnish ladies and gentlemen neat cards with their names upon them, at a price less than the cost of the cards. It is said these villainous means are adopted for the purpose of obtaining the names of these young men and women so that they may ad dress them circulars of books and pamphlets of the most sensual and beastly character, and intended to deprave the mind and ruin the murals. Beware of these wretches—don't send for their cards, and avoid the danger. We are informed that the persons who robbed the Hawn brothers, on Wednesday afternoon of last week, were seen crossing the river, on the evening of that day, at what is known as "Whittaker's old tuill,'"about half-way between this place and the upper darn, and several miles west from the point where they bad committed the depredation. Crossing at this point it is more than likely they would make their way to Warrior Ridge station, where they could easily board a freight train and make good their escape. Suspicion points very strongly to a couple of individuals from an adjoining town as the guilty party, and as a strict surveillance will be kept upon them, they may yet be captured and punished. The lecture on Temperance, or rather on Intemperance, delivered on Monday evening, by Mr. W. J. Geissinger, of Huntingdon, was an admirable discussion of the subject. Mr. Geissinger took a "new departure" in this matter which will not fail to command ap proval. The solid common sense and scriptural authority which pervaded the entire lecture made the positions taken itupregnabie, Friends of true Bible Temperance who desires to hear a discussion on the subject possessing rare merit will do well tp engage Mr. Gelssinget to deliver this lecture. It will pay, We, would respectfully suggest to the ladies, or to any parties having charge of a public meet ing, that it would pay better to make a stam pede after the collection has been lifted. The Altoona Tribune of Tuesday, says that Wm. M. Lloyd, of that city was adjudged a bankrupt in the United States District Court at Williamsport yesterday. This case has been before the court since November, 1875, and during the early part of the year was argued at Pittsburgh. The bankrupt made vigorous efforts to resist the operations of the law, but the creditors were not satisfied with the showing of assets and pressed the case to a decision, which was favorably rea.Aied yes terday. The total amount of provable debts is $896,312.25, and the total number of credi tors with provable claims over $250 in amount was 708. Of these 300 having provable claims aggregating $316,193.28, joined in the peti tion which has been fought with such persist ency. It is stated that the allegations of fraud in the creditors' petition were with drawn, and then the adjudication was ordered. The creditors will now proceed to elect assignees. take charge of the wets and wind up the affairs. LOCAL CLIPPINGS.- These from the Local News of Monday A letter from Col. Dorris was read to the pupils of the Presbyterian Sabbath school yesterday afternoon. The letter gives an account of the immense throng that flocked to heir Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, London's great preacher, together with notes upon the ser mon, to which he and his family bad the pleasure of listening. intelligence has been received from our townsman Mr. John Read stating that he succeeded in finding a brother and sister near Armagh, Ireland, whom be had never seen. He also visited relatives of our townsman, Mr. Thomas Tweed, who reside near the same place. Mr. Read is greatly rejoiced at having accomplished the object of his visit to the old country. He and his son Carlton will pay a visit to the Paris exhibition, and other points of interest, when they will return home. On the 18th inst., Jonathan Evans, esq., of Tod p. 0., this county, came to this place, and drew $125 from the National Bank, upon a check, and after paying a bill of $l3 at McCul• loch's hardware store he placed the receipted bill and a balance of $llO in an old envelope, containing the name ofJohn Whitney. Upon his return home Mr. Evans missed the envel ope containing the money, and thinks lie drop ped it at one of the stores in this place, or at the East Broad Top ticket office in Mt. Union. The finder will be rewarded by returning the money to Mr. Evans. AN IMPORTANT LAW—The attention of all persons interested is called to the fol lowing important act for "the prevention of trespassing upon railway trains, and conse quent injuries to minors and other persons" passed at the late session of the Pennsylvania Legislature : SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in general assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That any person found entering, or being in or upon, any railroad engine or car, whether the Caine be passenger, freight, coal or other car on any railroad in any city or county of this commonweaTi, contrary to the rules of the person, or persons, or corporations, own ing or operating the same, and with the inten tion of being in or upon, riding or traveling upon such engine or car, without paying fare, or of committing larceucy, violence, or de struction thereon, or of threatening, intimi dating, or assaulting travelers or other per sons upon such engine or cars, shall upon conviction, forfeit and pay a penalty of not less than five dollars nor more than fifteen dollars, which penalty shall be paid to the treasury of the school district in which said offence was committed for the use of said dis• trict and such person so convicted shall be committed to the county jail for a period not exceeding ten days. SEC. 2. Any constable or police officer hav ing knowledge, or being notified, of any vio lation of this act, shall forthwith arrest such offender and take him before any magistrate, alderman, or justice of the peace or any such magistrate, alderman, or justice of the peace sLall issue a warrant of capias for the arrest of any such offender,upon information duly made on oath or affirmation,ar.d said magistrate, al dermau.orjustice, upon the person charged be ing produced before him, shall forthwith pro ceed to hearand determine the matter in issue, and if he shall convict the person so charged with the violation of the provisions of this act, he shall proceed to pronounce the forfeit of the penalty which he shall adjuge against the person so convicted, and shall commit the person so convicted to the county jail of the proper county for the period aforesaid and if the person so convicted refuse or neglect to pay such penalty and costs immediately, then the magistrate, alderman, or justice shall commit the person so convicted to the jail of the county wherein the offense was committed for a further period not exceeding ten days. Sze. 3. That all provisions of any act or a .ts of assembly inconsistent with, or sup plied by the provisions of this act be and the same are, hereby repealed. BOILER EXPLOSION.—It wanted five minutes of 11 o'clock yesterday morning when the boiler of Caldwell's Gaysport tannery ex ploded. The boiler house and an adjoining building, used for a wood and coal house, were torn to pieces and brick, stone and wood hurled with great violence in every direction. One of the heavy boilers, weighing probably two or three tons, was shot, straight as an arrow from a bow, to the island opposite the tannery, a distance of fully three hundred feet. Three young men, George Bartley, Lewis C. Baroner and George Berger, were in the tan nery at the time of the explosion, and they were all within a few feet of the boilers. Bart• ley was the engineer and was at his post, while the others were engaged in draining hides. It seems inevitable to one who has looked upon the ruins of the establishment that they were not all instantly killed, yet such was not the fact. Baroner was badly scalded about the head and face, as was also Berger. Both these men, it is believed, will survive, unless, as is barely possible, they inhaled steam and were thus internally injur ed. Bartley's body, head and face were terri bly scalded, and he cannot recover. It was an awful spectacle, the removal of the clothing from this unfortunate young man, as the skin came from his body in great rolls. Strong men as they looked felt sick at heart. We cannot tell the cause of this explosion. We asked Mr. John B. Caldwell if he could give any explanation. He said he could not ; he knew it was not for want of water. There was plenty of that. In view of the gravity a the situation we prefer to indulge in no spec ulation —llollidaysburg Correspondent of Al toona Tribune, of Saturday last. —Since tkie above was in type we learn that Bartley died on Saturday morning at 6 o'clock. [Communicated.] TEMPERANCE LECTURE —A large audi ence assembled at the Court House on Monday evening to hear Mr. William J. Geissinger de liver his lecture on Temperance. Rev. M. P. Doyle opened the exercises with prayer, Rev. F. B. Riddle read a Scripture lesson, and a choir of ladies and gentlemen, led by Dr. R. C. Stockton, sang appropriate selections, both before and after the lecture. There was good order and strict attention throughout to all the speaker had to say on the old, but living, tem perance issue. In discussing his subject, Mr. Geissinger look somewhat of a new departure. Tie was not content to lay the blame of the prevalent drunkenness of our day on. whiskey sellers, or legislators, who pass license laws, but cast it upon the drinker himself. The evil is in the man, not outside of man, and when once the heart is touched by the finger ofGod into newness of life, all license laws, or oceans of intoxicants, could not make drunkards of earth's kingliest creature. Prohibition is to be commended, but it is not enough. It does not reach the heart, the real seat of this and all evils. The lecturer would have men lifted from the gutter, and brought to sign the total abstinence pledge ; but he would also go fur ther, and have them saved in the Church of Christ. The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Ladies' Temperance Union, of Huntingdon, aid was a success in every par ticular. It was fervent and eloquent, and stamped Mr. Geissinger, well known to all our citizens, as an orator of force and ability. If the ladies of Huntingdon secure other such speakers, they can assure themselves that the temperance cause will not lag upon their hands. but will prosper, and bring forth in ample time its own rich meed of fruit. THE PIPE LINE ROUTE. —The Johns town Tribune is indebted to Surveyor Peelor for the following item in relation to the gen eral route of the pipe line which is now in course of construction from the oil country to the sea shore : The Seaboard Pipe Line survey commences in the oil regions of Western Pennsylvania in the valley of the Allegheny river, at a point one and a half miles below Monterey Station, on the Allegheny Valley railroad, and takes nearly a straight course over the highlands of Indiana and Cambria counties ; descends the face of the Allegheny mountains ; crosses the mountains and valleys of Middle Pennsylvania; the South mountain range; the Red Saudstoue plane in front of them, and the hills of Middle Maryland to paltimore, a total distance of 228 miles, equal to 1,202,828 feet. It passes about fourteen miles south of the county town of Indiana ; one mile south of Carroltown, Cambria county ; crosses the Pennsylvania Railroad at Elizabeth Furnace, below Altoona, and the Broad Top Railroad at McConnellstown . ; passes through Orbisonia, Shade Gap, Roxboro, Shippensburg, and Gettysburg ; passes one mile south of West. minister, and one mile south of Reiterstown ; follows the ridge between Patapsco Falls and Guyron's Falls, and terminates on Curtis Bay, two miles south of Canton, on an inlet of Cheasapeake Bay, at Baltimore. THAT PIGEON—THE LATEST SELL Quite an excitement was created on Monday morning last, by the alleged arrival of a car rier pigeon at "Miller's Hotel," on Sunday evening before, at 111 o'clock, bearing a mes sage attached to its leg, which . read as follows : "Left London, June 22d, 1878, Home, America, Colorado." A large crowd of spectators as sembled at 1 o'clock on Monday to see the "bird" let loose, and continue(?) its westward flight, all of whom good-naturedly acknowl edged themselves "sold," when, instead of rising spirally in the air, a la carrier pigeon, it struck out boldly for a neighboring pigeon cote. The idea of a pigeon crossing the At lantic, and flying a distance of 4000 miles at the rate of 100 miles an hour, was enough to render the story a little fishy, but then anything to r&ieve the monotony of the times. The originator of the sell must have been wonder fully exercised mentally before bringing the plan to maturity, and the question now is, whose pigeon-house has been robbed. TOWNSHIP ACCOUNTS —We have over one hundred dollars charged upon our books for publishing township accounts, which we have been endeavoring to collect for some time, but it appears impossible for us to get a reply to'any bills sent out ; some of the charg es run as far back as 1873, and we think it high time that they were paid. In most of the cases we do not know to whom we should send the bills, and we have concluded to publish a list of the townships owing us, hoping that those interested, and whose duty it is to at tend to such matters, will take the matter in hand and send us our money. We find charg es against the following districts : Cass. Mapleton, West, Walker, Jackson, Brady, Franklin, Tod, Porter. We do not give the amount of indebtedness, and only publish the names of the districts in order that the facts may come to the notice of those whose duty it is to attend to the payment of such matters. SPORTING NOTES.— The bass bite shy. Glass hall match on the 4th. L. B. Kline has a dog in training. Bait-fish are as scarce as lien teeth. Huntingdon sportsmen take pride in their Beigle dogs. Col. Williams' tour Beigle pups can make any amount of music. The number of bass caught so far this sea. son will avrrage one to about every twenty. live fishermen. There was a slim attendance of members at the weekly practice of the Sportmen's Club on Friday evening last. Some black-hearted fiend attempted to poison Senator Fisher's lieigle pup, one day last week, but by prompt application of the proper an tidotes his life was saved. Geo. A. Port and two or three other gentle men spent one whole day, last week, at some point on the Raystown Branch, fishing for bass, and succeeded in taking one from the water that measured about two inches in length. Squirrels are said to be so numerous in the western part of the State that they are de stroying the growing crops, and farmers are indignant that under the new game law they are forbid to kill them before the first of Sep tember. DEATII OF A. R. STEWART.—This com munity was considerably surprised, on Sunday evening last, upon hearing of the sudden death of Asbury R. Stewart, esq., a prominent and much-respected citizen of our town. For two or three months past Mr. Stewart had been in feeble health, the result of several strokes of paralysis, but recently his health bad improved very much, and his friends were flattering themselves that he would ultimately recover. On Sunday last he was sitting in the office of Dr. D. P. Miller, engaged in conversation with that gentleman, apparently in his usual health, when he was again stricken down. The attack came on at 10 o'clock A. M., rendering him unconscious, in which condition he remained until the hour of his death, which occurred at about 4 o'clock, P. M. Mr. Stewart was a clever, sociable gentleman, and his death will be deeply regretted by his host of friends.— Ilis age was about 57 years. Ills remains were taken to Tipton, Blair county, on Tues day last for interment. THE LOCAL OPTION DOG LAW.—A law making all does personal property was passed by the Legislature, the provisions of which are as follows : "For whatever damage dogs may do their owners shall be liable, even for the cost and attorney's fees, if the suits be taken to court. An annual tax of fifty cents on male and one dollar on female dogs will be levied, which will be kept in a separate account by the county treasurer, from which owners of sheep shall be compensated when dogs deplete their droves, provided that the owners of the dogs cannot be ascertained. If discovered, the latter must make good the loss. Assessors are required to take an account of all dogs in their districts, with the name of the owners. If at the end of the year the amount of money in the hands of the county treasurer from this source exceeds a given sum, the surplus is to be divided among the school districts. The adoption of this law is made optional in counties. A ballot shall be taken not oftener thin once in two years, upon acceptance or rejection, and it will re main with the voters to pronounce upon the merits of the measure." Triz propriety of improving the Juniata liver and making it a slack-water navigable stream for vessels of twelve feet draft is approved by a large majority of our people. There is no reason why this should not be done, and that speedily. Had the South and West a stream half so beautiful or well adapt ed to the profitable pursuit of commerce it would long ago have been made navigable by the general government. Such improvements would greatly relieve the suffering labor of the country, and as the prosperity of the nation depends upon the ability of the indus trial classes to earn a living and pay their taxes, we can see CO better method of aiding them than to make such internal improve ments as will give them employment and at the same time increase the commerce of the country and thus materially aid the people in the prosecution of business and ability to pay their proportion of the expenses of the national government.—Carlisle Mirror.

THE LATEST SNAKE STORY.—Our friend, Simon Bales, of the "Lick Ridges," in Henderson township, we are informed, lost a valuable cow a few days ago, the disease being so peculiar as to induce Mr. Bales to make a post-mortem examination of the ani mal's stomach. The examination revealed the presence of a live snake, twelve inches in length, having two perfectly shaped heads and four eyes. How his snakesbip became domiciliated in so strange a locality is a mystery, more difficult of explanation than that of the "old sarpint" himself when he came to Paradise incog ; but nevertheless, we are reliably informed that it is a fact.

LITERARY NOTES.- PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for July comes to us brighter and fresher than ever. The principal steel-plate, 'ln Arcadia," is beautiful beyond words The double-sized fashion plate, containing five figures, elegantly engraved on steel, and exquisitely colored, is a very gem in its way. There is also a design for the new-style window curtain, printed in colors; and about fifty wood engravings of fashions, patterns in embroidery, ,Ec. "Peterson" still continues to hold its proud and eminent position for powerfully written original ivories. Among the contributors in the present number are, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Rebecca Harding Davis, Frank Lee Benedict, and others of similar fir-t -rate rank. No lady's book, in fact, has such writers. In every way it is indispensible in a household. No family should be without it, and as the price is but two dollars a year, postage free, it is within the means of every one. To clubs it is even lower. The publisher claims that it is "the cheapest and best." Specimens sent, to those wishing to get up clubs. Address, CHAS. J.
