quirer we aro led to believe that the staid old

mitted suicide, by hanging, on Saturday last.

We think that the Huntingdon firemen were
badly treated by some of the companies to
whom invitations were extended to join them
in celebrating the 4th ; but as the old saying
is, "it's a long lane that has no turn."
"The wolf at our door," is the caption of an
article in last week's Clarion Republicaa dis
cussing the collapse of the oil trade in that
section. The panic has reached the oil re
gions and business is reported flat as a flounder.
We published an item last week from the
News, stating that our townsman, John Read,
had met in Ireland a brother and sister whom
he bad never seen before. It should have read
an uncle and aunt, brother and sister of his
father.
A former Altoonian, named J. M. Lantz,
was cowhided in the streets of Houston, Texas,
a few days ago, by a couple of females with
whom he had some misunderstanding. The
scene is portrayed in last week's issue of the
Police Gazette.
A party of the b'hoys who were out on a
jamboree, on Saturday night, had lots of sport
by having one of the party represent a trained
bear, and go through the antics usually ppr
ft.rmed by these pets. "Sodom" is said to
have filled the bill admirably.
School Boards that do not have their ac
counts audited by the township or borough
Auditors and give publicity to the same, are
violating a plain provision of the law, and
render themselves liable to a heavy fine. There
is no way to evade the law.
HowardTs.rmon, who accompanied D. S.
Africa to Texas, was so highly delighted with
the country that he did not return with Mr.
A., but has sent for his family to join him at
Fort Worth. They started for their new home
on Monday last. May success attend them.
We observe that our young friend and towns
man, John D. Dorris, son of Col. NS m. Dorris,
was one of the orators at the commencement
exercises of Easton College, on Wednesday of
last week. He was one of the graduates of
that institution at the close of the present
college year.
Mr. Lewis Westbrook, a bricklayer by trade,
and a resident of Smithfield, a small village
separated from this place by the Juniata
river, fell from a scaffold in Tyrone, the other
day, and severely sprained one of his ankles.
Some years ago Mr. Westbrook lisd one of his
feet badly crushed by the cars.
Tommy Africa, the affable and accommo
dating assistant postmaster, who is off on
parole on account of indisposition, we are
glad to learn is improving in health, and if he
should have no relapse, in a few weeks the
visitors to the postoffice will see his pleasant
face behind the boxes again. So mote it be.
The dog poisoner is abroad in Lewistown,
and during the past week some ten or twelve
dogs have passed in their checks from this
cause. One gentleman of that town offers a
reward of $lOO for evidence that will lead to
the arrest and conviction of the person who
poisoned a valuable watch dog belonging to
him.
A friend at our elbow asks us, "What could
be smaller than the lining of a thistle seed ?''
Well, the only thing that we can think of that
could be smaller, is the soul of a man who
takes a newspaper for a number of years and
then refuses to pay for it. We are sorry to
say that we have some of these diminutive
specimens in this section.
Notwithstanding the fact that our farmers
are in the midst of harvest, and are in need of
hands, Huntingdon's corner statuary can still
be found adorning their usual haunts of idle
ness, complaining of hard times and the
scarcity of work. These professionals don't
work, and yet they are the first to lament over
the scarcity of that commodity.
A marriage notice comes to us from the
Broad Top region, without any name attached
to it, which we have inserted in our waste
basket. We will publish no marriage notice
unless accompanied by a responsible name.—
This notice may be all right, and it so its non
appearance in the papers need not interfere
with any arrangements of the newly married.
The Police News of last week gave its readers
a picture of the scene of the Hawn robbery,
near this place, on the afternoon of the 19th ult.
The room wears a palatial appearance, whilst
the Hawn "boys" and Katie Bush are repre
sented as dressed in the latest style of the
period, and the whole picture is as near a
representation of the affair as an oyster is to
an elephant.
Rev. J. S. ll'Murray, formerly pastor of the
M. E. church, in this place, fell from a chair,
the other day, at his home, in Clearfield, and
injured himself to such an extent as to inca
pacitate Lim from preaching the Sunday suc
ceeding the accident. If it were not that our
clerical friend is such a radical temperance
man we might have our suspicions a little
aroused at such a mishap.
We learn from the Orbisonia Leader, of last
week, that Thos. E. Orbison, esq., after an
active business life in that town for a period
of forty-five years has sold out his business to
his brother, E. B. Orbison, esq., and retired to
private life. Both these gentlemen are natives
of this borough. We wish the latter success
in business, and the former pleasure and con
tentment in his retirement.
The closing exercises of the Huntingdon
Normal School, on Friday evening last, were
of a highly interesting character, and reflected
the highest credit both upon pupils and
teachers. Prof. Zuck and his assistants are
doing all in their power to make the Hunting
don Normal first-class in every department,
and that they are succeeding is evidenced by
the large patronage extended to it.
The compositors on the Altoona Globe,
threw down their sticks, on Thursday of last
week, and refused to resume work until their
back pay was forthcoming. We understand
the paper has been suspended until the Bth
inst., at which time the management promise
its appearance in a new suit, a something
which it has been sorely in need of for some
time past. The Clots has its own trouble
with attaches.
Our attentive correspondent, "Bob," writes
us from Shirley, and says that the farmers in
that neighborhood are in the midst of the
grain barest, and that the crop is one of the
best ever known in the township.—A large
number of persons have left Shirley for Wash
ington county, Md., to harvest, which makes
hands scarce at home.—The wheat is all ready
to cut, having ripened unusually rapid within
the last five days.
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURNAL exceeds that of any
other paper iu 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.
We were shown, the other day, several
specimens of Texas fruit, grown upon the farm
recently purchased by our townsman. D. S.
Africa, consisting of peaches, plums, apples,
&c., together with potatoes, corn and other
products. The fruit was large and ripe, but
of its palatableness we are not prepared to
speak, not having sampled it. The fruit in
that State ripens early in June, and the cli
mate is said to be admirably adapted to the
successful culture of every variety.
The members of the Fire Company held a
meeting on Saturday night last, and resolved
to give up the idea of a celebration in this
place un the 4th. Out of the forty-five in
vitations extended to the different organiza
tions throughout the State, not one of them
was accepted. Our "boys" regret very much
that they were forced to abandon the celebra
tion, after the time, labor and money ex
pended in their efforts to make it a success,
and they deserve the sympathy of our citizens
in their disappointment.
Frank Hefright, esq., who has an extensive
government contract on the Kanawha Canal,
in West Virginia, returned home on Friday
last, work on the job having been stopped on
account of a strike in that vicinity. We un
derstand that the men in the employ of 51r.
Hefright, who are paid remunerative wages,
and who are satisfied with the sum paid them,
did not quit work of their own accord, but
were forced to do so by several hundred
strikers from other jobs in the vicinity, who
had succeeded, by threats of violence, in de
terring others from working. The strikers
took charge of a government steamer and
compelled the crew to fire her up and run her
wherever they desired to go. These strikers,
over imaginary wrongs, are a curse to the
working men of the country.
CARELESS CONDUCT OF YOUNG GIRLS.
—The following well-timed and sensible arti
cle we clipped from the Altoona Tribune of a
week or two ago, and we now give it a place
in our local columns, and ask that our young
lady readers peruse it carefully and ponder
well the words of wisdom which it contains :
Many young girls like nothing so much as
what they call "an adventure," or, in other
words, attracting the attention of some male
specimen of the baser sort whose expressed
admiration is an insult. The repression of
this spirit in young girls is important, for it is
almost disreputable for a woman to be insult
ed. Sober people are inclined to feel that
there must have been some imprudence, per
haps unconsciously, on the lady's part, which
encouraged the bold step on the part of the
insulter. If a lady is quiet, and not inclined
to make herself conspicuous in public convey
ances or elsewhere by talking and laughing
we do not think she need fear any rude famil
iarity at all approaching an insult. She might
travel alone in safety from one end of the con
tinent to the other, as free from molestation
or annoyance as in her father's house. But
we have noticed with pain, very often, the
boisterous unladylike manners young girls, or
young ladies, as they doubtless term them
selves, indulge in when traveling. If they take
occasion to entertain each other with jests
and recitals quite too near the coarseness in
public places it is not strange that persons of
the baser sort should feel that they were safe
in taking liberties of speech or look that they
would not dream of were their deportment
quiet and ladylike ? Insults can be guarded
against, if not entirely avoided. Let mothers
warn their daughters against courting rude
ness by bold, noisy and unladylike behavior,
both at Louie and abroad, but most particu
larly when going to school, shopping, riding
or going to places of public worship, and they
will escape all molestation. When a woman
forgets her native delicaly and modesty of de
portment she challenges insult. Some may
think these strictures too severe ; but any Al
toonian who promenades our streets in the
evenings, particularly on Saturday night, and
is a close observer, will not think so.
NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.—An exchange
says : We suppose many people think that the
newspaper men are persistent duns ; let a
farmer place himself in a similar business po
sition and see if be would not do the same.
Suppose he raised one thousand bushels of
wheat, and his neighbor should come and buy
a bushel, and the price was a small matter of
only two dollars or less, and the neighbor
says, "I will hand you the amount in a few
days." As the farmer did not want to be
small about the matter, he says all right, and
the man leaves with the wheat. Another
comes in the same way until the whole one
thousand bushels of wheat are trusted out to
one thousand different persons, and not one of
the purchasers concerns himself about it, for
it is a small amount that he owes the farmer,
and of course that would not help him any.
lie does not realize that the fanner has frit
tered away all his large crop of whe:t, and
that its value is due him in a thousand little
driblets, and that he is seriously embarrased
in his business because his debtors treat it as
a small matter. But if all would pay him
promptly, which they could do as welt as not,
it would be a very large amount to the farmer,
and enable him to carry on his business with
out difficulty. The above comparison is too
true of the difficulties that the newspaper man
has to contend with.
We hope the slow-payers on our list will
see the necessity of being more prompt in pay
ing up.
DEATH OF ADAM FOCKLER.—At 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Adam Fock
ler, of Kerrville, one of the oldest citizens of
this place, departed this life, after suffering
for some time past with serious illness. The
deceased was born in Huntingdon, on Dec. 17,
1801, and arrived in Johnstown in 1832. He
immediately commenced carrying on the tin
smithing business, being the first that embark
ed in the trade here. This he followed, with
the exception of a few years that he kept
grocery, until the present time, and in fact it
has only been some two years since he relin
quished work in the shop. Mr. Fockler was
married on the 6th of August, 1828, and only
a little over a month hence, had he lived, the
aged couple would have celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary. During nearly
half a century that he made Johnstown his
home he was known as a gentleman of the
strictest probity, and in his station in life he
well fulfilled all the duties devolving upon
him. A faithful, true and consistent member
of the Lutheran Church from boyhood, he
was always an example of what a Christian
should be. At 2 o'clock to morrow afternoon
the remains will be interred in the English
Lutheran burying ground, appropriate relig
ious services first being held at his late resi
dence.—Johneoten Tribune, 25//e nit.
SUDDEN DEATH.—A young colored lad,
named John Lewis, whose parents reside in
Walker township, on what is known as the
"old Lewis farm," died suddenly, it is sup
posed of heart disease,. on Friday night last.
The lad, in company with other members of
the family, had been in town attending a fes
tival held by the colored people of this place,
and at the close of the festival, about 10 o'-
clock, he started fur his home, in apparent
good health. When they reached the trestle
work spanning the lane leading from the old
toll-bridge, and were about ascending the
bank to reach the track of the Broad Top rail
road, young Lewis fell to the ground and died
instantly. Se -eral persons were attracted to
the spot by the cries of the lad's sister, but
before their arrival the boy was beyond hu
man aid. His remains were brought back to
Huntingdon, and taken to the residence of his
Aunt, Mrs. Ellen Jackson, corner of Fifth and
Church streets, from which place they were
intered on Sunday last.
There was quite a gathering of our Methodist
friends in town on Tuesday, on the occasion
of fixing the annual salary of the Presiding
Elder. These meetings are made up of the
Stewards of each church embraced in the dis
trict over which the Presiding Elder has
charge. The salary was fixed at $2,000, the
same amount paid during the term of the
former Incumbent.

CLOTHES MOTHS. —As the season for
these troublesome and destructive pests to
commence their depredations is at hand, we
think the following article relating to them
will be appreciated by our readers, and if the
instructions it contains are followed may
save many articles from injury if not total
destruction :
"There are several distinct but similar
species of minute moths belonging to the
family Tineiche, which, in a larval state, are
very destructive to woolen goods, fur, hair
and similar substances. Among them may
be mentioned the clothes moth, the carpet
moth, the fur moth, and the hair moth. These
tineans have slender bodies and deeply fringed
wings, that expand 6-10 or 8-10 of an inch.
The antenna' and palpi are short and thread
like, and there is a thick orange or brown
tuft on the forehead. The colors range from
buff to drab and dark gray. The eggs are
laid in May and June, (the moth dying imme
diately afterward,) and hatch out in fifteen
days. The young worms at once proceed to
work, gnawing the substances within their
reach, and covering themselves with the frag
ments, which they shape into hollow rolls and
line with silk. These rolls are by some
carried on their backs as they move along,
and by others fastened to the substance they
are feeding upon ; and they are enlarged from
time to time by additions to the open extreme
ties and by portions let into the sides, which
are split open for this purpose. In such an
ambush the worms carry on their work of
destruction through the summer, rest, in
seeming torpor, during the winter, and change
to chrysalius early in the spring. They trans
form again in twenty days, and issue from
their shelter as winged moths to fly about in
the evening till they have paired and are
about to lay eggs. Then follows an invasion
of dark closets, chests and drawers, edges of
carpets, folds of curtains, and hanging gar
ments, and the foundation of a new colony is
swiftly laid. The early days of June should
herald vigorous and exterminating warfare
against these subtle pests. Closets, ward
robes, all receptacles for clothing, should be
emptied and laid open, their contents thor
oughty exposed to light and air, and well
brushed before being replaced. In old houses
much infested with moths, cracks in floors,
wainscots, shelves or furniture should be
brushed over with turpentine. Camphor or
tobacco should be placed among all garments,
furs, or plumes, when laid aside for the sum
mer. To secure cloth linings of carriages
from the attacks of moths sponge them on
both sides with corrosive sublimate of merca•
ry in alcohol, made just strong enough not to
leave a white mark on a black leather. Moths
may be killed by fumigating the article con
taining them with tobacco or sulphur, or by
putting it, if practicable, into an oven heated
to about 150 degrees."
DICKINSON COLLEGE.—The ninety-fifth
commencement of Dickinson College, Carlisle,
Pa., took place last week. The exercises were
especially interesting, and the occasion
brought together many of the Alumni and
friends of this venerable institution. The Hon.
Richard W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy,
delivered the oration before the literary socie
ties. The graduating class is one of great
promise. The valedictorian, Wm. B. Gland
ing, of Altoona, Pa., deserves especial mention
as a writer and speaker. Our county is rep
resented in the college by R. Cunningham
Patterson, of Ennisville, who is now a member
of the Junior class. W. S. Smith, of the same
place, is one of the Alumni, having graduated
in the class of '64. The trustees have started
a project by which it is intended to raise $25,-
000 for a new building fur scientific purposes.
The college will celebrate its centennial year

Next year promises an increase of students,
and there are many hopeful and encouraging
signs that indicate a prosperous future for the
college.
BUSINESS FOR LADIES.—Our attention
has been called to a new article for the use of
ladies, the invention of which has conferred
an everlasting blessing upon every lady. We
refer to the Queen City skirt suspenders for
supporting ladies' skirts, the most desirable
and beneficial article ever invented for the
relief of women, many of whom have suffered
years of miserable health caused solely by
carrying the weight of a number of heavy
skirts, completely dragging them down. Some
thing to support ladies' clothing is absolutely
-necessary. These suspenders are recommend
ed by our leading physicians to all ladies and
young girls. Every lady should have them.
They are sold only through lady agents. A
splendid opportunity is offered to some relia
ble lady canvasser of this county to secure
the agency of a pleasant and profitable busi
ness. For terms and territory write at once
to the Queen City Suspender Company, 278

LowsLL, Mass., May 15, 1876,
Nl.Essas. Wu. GILES & CO.—Gentlemen: I
have been suffering for ten years with sciatic
rheumatism, and the different kinds of Lini
ment I have used during that time may be
estimated by gallons. About two weeks ago
I obtained a bottle of your Liniment lodide
Ammonia of your agents, F & E. Bailey & Co.;
it gave me almost instantaneous relief from
pain, and since that time I have been steadily
improving. It has done me more good than
any medicine that I have before used. I have
been obliged to carry a cane until within two
weeks, since which time I have not found it
necessary. I also wish to state that this testi
monial is not solicited, but I give it in the
hope that others may be benatted as I have
been. (Signed) Mas. N. PeVEY,

HUDSON.—June 27, 1878, at 8} o'clock r. M.,
Mrs. Sarah Hudson, of Clay township, consort
of Wm. C. Hudson.
Her suffering was intense, and long continued.
She died peacefully in the firm hope of a glorious
immortality beyond the scenes of earth.
WRIGHT.—In Trough Creek, on the 18th ult.,
Britain Olen, youngest son of J. C. and Bell
S. Wright, aged 2 years,3 months and 13 days.
The family circle is broken ; the empty crib and
the vacant chair tell us that he has gone. Oh,
how it pains our hearts to see the little one in the
last agonies of death; but while we were weeping
over his dying form the angels were waiting to
waft his spirit home, for Jesus said "suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid them not for
of such is the kingdom of Heaven."
A lonely breast pines for a baby head
Which once did nestle there,
The touch of infant hands,
The dear blue eyes, the clustering hair ;
But they are hid from sight ;
Joined with the angels bright
Our darling is safely there
Where all is right. M.
CORBIN.—In Barree township, on the 22d of
June, 1878, Mr. Ferdinand Corbin, aged 58
years, 10 months and 2 days.
Happy the spirit released from its clay;
Happy the soul that goes bounding away;
Singing, a, upward it hastes to the skies,
Victory ! Victory! homeward to rise.
How can• we wish him recalled from his home,
Longer in sorrowing exile to roam ?
Safely he passed from his trouble beneath,
Victory ! Victory ! shouting in death.
Thus let him slumber, till Christ from the skies,
Bids him in glorified body arise ;
Singing, as upward he springs from the tomb,
Victory! Victory! Jesus bath come!
