The cellar under the building at the corner of Fifth and Washington streets has been the favorite resort of gentlemen of leisure during the reign of the "heat fiend." The Juniata Tribune is in error in stating that the car inspectors in this place have been .discharged from ths employ of the P. R. R.— They have been transferred to another job. Our friend, R. M'Divitt, esq.,. interviewed the business end of a wasp, the other day, and the result was that be was compelled to "go one eye on it" for the ensuing twelve hours.

Any of our readers wanting a sign lettered, or any kind of painting done, cannot do bet ter than to employ our friend, Adam floffman, who itthe most artistic wielder of the brush and pencil in this neck o' woods. We understand that a portion of S. A. Steel's saw mill, located in Walker township, ou the land of John It'Cahan, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night of last week. We have not learned the extent of the damage. Our old friend, George Jackson, was risibly effected by the heat on Friday morning last, whilst talking to some acquaintances near the Union depot. Be was in the act of falling to the ground when he was caught by a bystander. The man who is too stingy to subscribe for a newspaper is a pitiable sight as he stands about our business houses watching his chance to pick up and read the paper when laid down by its owner; he has a mean, hang-dog look about him. We learn from the Altoona Tribune that about one hundred employes of the freight shop, in that city, will take a trip to Lewis town, on Saturday next to explore Nagnie's cave. The Altoona City Band will accompany the excursionists. Col. Ed. Scull, editor of the Somerset Her ald has lost two children by that terrible scourge, diptberia, within a short time. The last one, a daughter aged fifteen years, died on Monday morning. We extend our warmest sympathies to the stricken household. Don't tell a man you sweat. It is vulgar.

A copy of the JOtIINAL should be in the hands of every Republican in the county du ring the campaign about opening. The contest in this county promises to wax warm, and we propose to do our share towards assisting to elect the nominees of the Republican party. An exchange says; "It's funny that when you ask a man to advertise, he generally de clines with the statement that 'nobody'll see it.' But if you advertise•some little caper of his in the news columns gratis, be gets in dignant over the certainty that 'everybody'll see it.'" The Lutheran church, in this plac'e, will be dedicated on Sunday, August 11th.

The public are cordially invited to be present. "Cooney," of the M'Veytown Journal,dropped in to see us, one morning last week, when on nts way to Bedford. He looks the picture of good health, and we judge his visit to Bed ford is not for the purpose of reaping any benefit from the use of the medicinal waters of that famous resort. On Saturday last we were shown twelve heads of timothy, grown on the farm of Jno. M. Stewart, near Saulsburg, in this county, which measured from eleven to thirteen inches in length, and were the largest and finest specimens of timothy that we have seen for many a day. Who's nest? A fatal disease—cholera or something akin to it—has broken out among the chickens in Walker township. Messrs. M'Cahan and Lloyd, residing opposite this place, have each lost large numbers by the disease. The fowls ap pear to be in good health, when, like a flash, their wings droop and they drop over dead. A friend of ours, in this place, who is a disciple of old Isaak Walton, tells us that during a fishing excursion to the Branch, on one of the hottest days of last week, he found the water so tot in that streain that he bad no difficulty in boiling eggs in it, a dozen of which he boiled for his dinner. Bedford to bear from. Last week the Philipsburg Journal entered upon its second year under its present manage ment. The paper is very neatly printed and its contents show that considerable time and labor are spent in their preparation. Discard the "patent outside," gentlemen, and your paper will then he first-class in every par ticular. The tramps made a raid on the poultry of Mr. John Lloyd, on M'Cahau's farm, opposite this place, on Saturday night last, and de spoiled his coop of a pet duck, to devour which those nomads will perform harder work than they are usually willing to do. It was not exactly the duck that was in the ark, but a near relative of the one that accompanied the ancient mariner. Our old-time and staunch Republican friend, Samuel Wigton, esq., of Franklin township, dropped in to see us on Saturday last. In company with 31r. Wigton was Mr. G. IV. Reynolds, of the same township, who came to announce himself as a candidate for treasurer, and in case of his nomination and election he is willing to handle the money-bags of the county for the sum of $l5OO per annum, The camp meeting season is approaching, and while the religiously inclined visitors are anxiously awaiting the time when they can meet and worship God under the grand old forest trees, the blackguards, who usually gather in large numbers at such places, are likewise anxiously looking forward to tho time when they can enjoy their annual drunk and indulge in all manner of sin. So we go. Hon. Andrew 11. Dill, the gentleman who won't be Governor of Pennsylvania, arrived in this place on Saturday evening last on Fast Line, on his way to Bedford. During the brief time he had to wait until the departure of tne Broad Top train, he was waited upon by a small number of the "faithful," who introduced him to all corners, and they were few in number. His reception was anything but enthusiastic. Chairman Speer accompanied him to Bedford. We see by the Oil Times, published at Eden burg, Clarion county, that our former towns men, J. W. Greenland and Thomas Burchinell, jr., are prominent in the organization of a Democratic club in that place, the former of whom has been made treasurer and the latter a member of the executive committee. These young men are intensely Democratic, but very clever chaps nevertheless, and we hope that both of them may make fortunes in the oil re gions. The annual picnic of the "sawbones" of the Juniata Valley, held at Hollidaysburg-, on Thursday of last week, was an enjoyable af fair. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : President, John P. Sterrett, of Juniata ; Vice Presidents, Crawford Irvin, of Blair, Isaac Guss, of Huntingdon, Charles Long, of Bedford, Lucien Banks, of Juniata; Recording Secretary, W. C. Roller, of Blair ; Corresponding Secretary, Sydney Thompson, of Huntingdon ; Treasurer, J. W. Brown, of Mifflin. The business meeting will be held at Lewistown, on the second Tuesday of January next, Street-corner and door step politicians have become an intolerable nuisance in the neigh borhood of Fifth and Washington streets. They won't work themselves, and by their loud talk, most of which is the silliest kind of twaddle, interfere with those employed in the vicinity of their daily gatherings. From the conduct of some of them we are inclined to think that before the frosts of November they will be fit subjects for an insane asylum. Give no a rest, gentlemen, or do your "blowing" outside the borough limits, where it will not interfere with those who are trying to make an honest living by the "sweat of their brow." Police! Police! • The powers-that-be at Washington will be doing the reading public a benefit if they will compel the route agents on the mail train, which arrives at this place at half-past five r. :q., to discharge their duties, or fill their places by men who will. For two or three weeks past s:•areely a day passes that one or two pac%agcs of 1);tp.r:; ad2resse4 to Us are not left off at stations east of this place, or else carried further west. Sum: of these pa , Aages, in the course of two or three days —when they are of no use to us—reach us, whilst a majority of Ilwin are never heard front, and are a dead loss to us, as we are com pelled to pay for them all the same as if we had received them. This kind of thing has become a bore, and the Government should see that its servants discharge their duties properly. Perhaps the warm weather makes them too lazy to leave their easy chairs long enough to hand out packages at their proper destination. Such dereliction of duty is au outrage, and calls loudly for immediate im provement. UNVEILING OF THE SOLDIERS' MONU MENT AT WARRIORSMAItH.-WC had hoped that some of our friends in attendance at the cel ebration and the unveiling of the Soldiers' Monument, at Varriorsmark, on the 4th inst., would have furnished us with the proceedings on that occasion, but they failed to do so, and we are compelled to condense the following from the Tyrone licrald : The Fourth of July, 1878, will long be remem beret' by the inhabital is of Warriorsinark and vicinity. The ex-soldiers and their friends had been for some time working for the erection of a monument to the memory of the men who lost their lives in fighting down the great rebellion of 1861, and nobly did they accomplish the enter prise. The monument is of White Bronze, twelve feet high, artistically made, and beautiful to look upon. On the four sides at the base, are the names of one hundred and six brave young men who now sleep in soldiers' graves, as follows • Win. 11. Buck, M. Krider, S. Branstetter, • S. D. Kaufman, A. U. Bathurst, J. E. Kaufman, James Burket, IJ. K. Kinch, 2d Lieut., Mahlon Burket, J. F. Ray, Ist Lieut. Jerry C. Beck, 111. Knee, Win. Black,E. Keys, J. H I . Been, S. Laporte, A. J.

On the front tablet of the die, just above the third base, is a fine medallion likeness of Abraham Lincoln, modeled from the last photograph taken about forty days before his death. On the rear tab let is represented a stack of arms, and on the north and south sides are tablets showing medallion representations of soldiers in uniform. On the top there is a kneeling angel with clasped hands, bow ed heau, and sweet but sorrowful face. The work is finely executed and is indeed a worthy tribute to the memory of our fallen heroes. This successful enterprise is highly creditable to the Soldiers Monumental Association, of War riorsmark, and is an honor to the community as well as a great addition and ornament to the cem etery in which it stands. The old Historic town of Warriorsmark, was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers, and carry in the morning the people from the sur rounding country entered the town in large num bers, some from a distance of thirty miles. The streets were crowded with venerable men and wo men ; the middle-aged, young men and maidens were there gleeful and happy, and troops of boys and girls representing young America, were there to learn lessons of patriotism and valor at the base of a monument erected to perpetuate the names and deeds of the men who died in their country's defense. The procession was formed at 10 o'clock by the Chief Marshal, Mr. B. S. Haughawout, assisted by Messrs. Daniel Chamberlain, William Burket and Capt. 0. S. Ramberger. The Alexandria brass band led the way, dis coursing patriotic musk ; following next was the orator of the day; peat came a column of ex-sol diers of the late war; then a martial drum corps; then citizens on foot, in carriages and on horses. On reaching the cemetery the choir, led by the organ, sang "My Country 'tis of Thee sweet land of Liberty." A very eloquent prayer was then offered by the Rev. George Guyer. The band played a requiem; then came the ceremony of formallyt:unveiling the monument, which was draped in a large national flag. (This flag, 20 feet wide and 40 feet long, was first raised at Murfreesburg, Tennessee, at the close of the war.) At the time designated on the programme, Chap lain Earnshaw pulled the cord and the covering fell gracefully about the base, revealing to the ad miring assembly the splendid monument; at the same time saying: "Sacred to the memory of our heroes who died to save the coming generations, our national liberties purchased by the blood of our revolutionary fathers." An able and elouent oration was delivered by Chaplain Wm. Earnshaw, of the National Soldiers' Home, near Dayton, Ohio, the length of which prevents us from publishing. The following poem, written by Alexander Luchman, an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, at Dayton, and inscribed to the "Warriorsinark Monumental Association," was they read : Day set•on Juniata's stream, 'Mid Pennsylvania's wood-crowned hills, And gentle Cynthia's modest beams Silver'd her groves and crystal rills. In this fair land of calm and rest, Where all were happy, - all were blest, Round IVarriorsmark was cluster'd then Home of true women and brave men. Ilere, where the farmer's honest toil Makes mother earth all fruitful smile; Here, the red Indian, long ago, 'Mid summer's heat, and winter's snow, Hunted the dun deer and his foe: Canoed o'er Juniata's breast • Ere the white man had sought the west. 'Mid this fair scene one April day, (Since then some seventeen years have gone,) A trumpet note was heard afar, Fort Sumpter had been fired upon. A rebel smoke had dimui'd the sky, And Sumpter's flag had fallen ; then honor'd Lincoln called for aid,— lt came from mountain and from glen. The preacher left his flock uncared, The student lit his lamp no more, The hammer on the anvil lay, The merchant left his busy store, The gray hair'd veteran who had learu'd The art of war in other years Renewed his youth, left hearth and home, And wife, and children there in tears, The youth at school laid books aside, Answer'd to twenty when sixteen ; The new wed husband left his bride, That in his home short time had been ; The widow gave her only son, The plow was loft upon the lea ; Every true heart was beating then For the old flag and liberty. Years rolled along—dread war was o'er— The sad was freedom to the slave ; Thousands had fallen—forever gone— The old, the young, the good, the brave ; Names that will shine while time doth roll, While sun and moon shall still endure. LINCOLN, our martyr'd President, The friend of all, the patriot pure. Comrade Hance Campbell, known to all, Died, for the flag he love,:•to save; Funk, Krider and many, rest around, Each one within a hero's grave. In Franklin township—Warriorsrnark— All round these hills our comrades lie Dead, but alive forevermore. On earth their names can never die, And others who sleep far away Beneath the broad Magnolia'rs shade, Tho' buried far away from home, That ground is sacred where they're laid. And this day of our nation's birth, That's seen one hundred years and more, Our flag unstained, and peace again Blessing our land from shore to shore. This day we meet to consecrate This monument to those who fell For freedom's cause, and dared to die For the old flag they loved so well : This monument of bronze now stands Memorial of our honored dead. j. memento unto those who now Stand round us here, whose tears are shed For those who now have pass'd away T ) other realms of endless day. In other days when you and we Have meekly bowed to death's decree, Our children's children here may stray some happy Fourth of July's day, And pointing to some Grandsire's grave, While blooming roses then will wave, With glistning eye will tell how ho Was one that died for liberty ! a DILL As AN AucTioNEEß.—Dill tua_e. [his appearance upon one of our street corners on Tuesday evening last with scarcely any ' previous announcement, and almost as stid• ' deuly as an itinerant vender of soap, or lead ' pencils, or bogus jewelry comes to set up his ' place of business on the public highway. He came, however, under a little mure favorable ' circumstances than the traveling merchant usually does, as he had assistance in gather ing a crowd and in the effort to give respec tability to his attempt to impose his question able wares upon the public. Like others en gaged in the work of disposing of a very trashy article fur genuine, he does not remain long at a place, but travels around, and in his present tour is 'attended by the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, who seems to exercise a very discreet care as to the man ner in which Dill shall recommend his goods. Instead of gathering the people together by singing a song, or performing some startling gymnastic feat, or telling a funny story in a loud tone of voice, the audience was secured by marching a brass band, composed of col ored men, down Penn street, and of course a number of people followed, out of curiosity, to see what was to be done. The crowd thus assembled stood in silence while Dill conduc ted the sale. He first tried to cajole his hear• ers into accepting what he had to offer by telling them how happy he was to say that he once lived in this town, that he distinctly re membered the fact, and, although he did not say so, he no doubt desired the citizens here to think it afortunate thing for themselves. He might have known that some of us would re .flect that he never thought enough of us to come to see us until he became a candidate. He next went on to say that he was under di rections from his State Committee not to make any political speeches. This was received with a murmur of surprise, as it was the first intimation that the speech he was making had been cut out and put together by Mr. Speer, who was standing by the speaker's side du ring its delivery. The crowd wanted to hear something from Dill, some tangible reason for buying at his auction, and they were not to receive it. They were expected to pay their money without even having the goods puffed by the auctioneer. But it was soon learned that the staples in which he dealt were the "constitution and the laws," articles of which the people were expected to know the good qualities, having heard much about them from men like Dill during the war, and as he couldn't even mention these in connection with politics (Speer beingconveniently near to prevent him from disobeying orders) he said, in vendue parlance, "I can't dwell," and ad. ding that he would continue to offer the "con stitution and the laws" until the election and (perhaps) during the four subsequent years as Governor, he withdrew without even getting a bid. Mr. Speer then stepped forward, and extending his arms over the balusters, corn. menced clapping his hands, and drew forth the applause which the very little ideas of lit tle Dill failed to elicit. In the course of his remarks, Dill promised to return to this place later in the campaign, to bring the "constitu tion and the laws" with him, and to again set up his auction shop oa the corner. Will not his State Committee, in tbeir prudence, issue an edict against this, too, as well as against political speecbes from him; for the people of 1 , Huntingdon have seen enough of Dill to satis fy them? TOO-MUCH MARRIED.—On Thursday last a gentleman and lady called on Rev. Mr. liollifield and requested him to unite them in the holy bands of matrimony, but the parties being strangers to him he naturally had some misgivings on the subject, and the answers of the would-be bride groom to some questions propounded by him, leading him to still fur ther suspect that there night be some "crook edness" connected with the transaction, be de clined to perform the ceremony. The party then, consisting as it turned out to be, of a certain A. W. Edwards, of Coffee Run, and a Miss Annie Lutz, of Shirleysburg, repairing to the residence of Rev. Mr. Riddle, succeeded in baring themselves joined in "wedlock's holy bonds," and went on their way rejoicing.— They stopped that night at Miller's Hotel, and retnuined here till the next day, when, alas for the uncertainty of domestic bliss, some strange rumors were set afloat to the effect that said Edwards had already some one or two wives more than was allotted to one man by the act of assembly in such case made and provided. These rumors having reached the ears of Mr. Riddle, the officiating clergyman, induced him to make information, upon which a warrant was issued by Justice Murray and the bride-groom was arrested, the bride having left on the Way Passenger train for Altoona. At a hearing that afternoon, some witnesses were examined who testified to the fact that they were acquainted with the defendant, and that he had a wife and family at Coffee Run, upon which testimony, and in default of bail, he was committed to answer at the .coming court. We understand that the next day after his committal an officer arrived here with a war rant charging him with having obtained, on false pretense, some $2OO worth of goods from a merchant in Mount Union, which facts, to gether with sundry other rumors, highly derogatory to the character of the said Ed wards, render it highly probable that the an ticipated enjoyment of the honeymoon will, through the force of circumstances, have to be indefinitely postponed. JOTTINGS FROM SHIRLEY, BY "BOB.". Mr. A. C. Bingham left on Monday morn ng for Kansas. The candidates for delegates are counting noses in town. John Evans put his shoulder out of joint pitching wheat last week. W. 11. Brewster thrashed 671 bushels wheat raised on two and a half acres. John X. Lutz has housed sixteen hundred and seventy dozen sheaves of wheat this har vest. Every person wanted to see that wedding party on Thursday. The bride had a splend id rig. D. P. Harvey has caught fifty five eels tbis season. He goes for them 'under the stones with a fork. The snake crop is said to be large this sea but as yet we have been unable to get a rood snake story. Mr. Drake fell from a wagon load of hay, ast Tuesday, spraining his arm severely ; he s doing well and trying to keep cool. Green corn was sold o n our streets last Saturday at 5 cents per dozen ears. They sold readily and the doctor's were hopeful. Gen. F. H. Lane thrashed 85 dozen sheaves of wheat last week. Had 80 bushels of good wheat raised on about three acres of ground. The editor of the Mt. Union Times was in town on SAturdity evening, looking for a near relative. lie is a pleasant chap and no doubt would make a kind husband. The juveniles are enjoying the whooping cough. Some old womec said a shoe string of hog skin leather tied around the patient's neck was a sure cure ; they are in demand. Politics are getting lively and candidates look very pleasant ; after the Gth of August some of them will be cross. Keep cool, we wish we could vote for you all ; but can't, you know. Edward McGarvey has the largest wheat crop in the lower end of the county. He has over one hundred acres, all good, has two barns, 100 feet by 50 feet, both full and will have to stack some hay. G. W. Cornelius got one of his mules badly snagged in his brother's stable, at Mill Creek, on the 10th inst. Ile was on his way to the upper end of the county with his wagon. The mule is doing well but will not be fit for work for some time. STORE ROBBED.—The Clothing Store of T. W. Montgomery, corner of Fifth and Washington streets, was entered on Tuesday night last and several hundred dollars worth of goods carried off. An entrance was effected by boring a hole through the door, opposite the fastenings, sufficiently large to enable them to force back the guard holding the bolt of the lock. Every drawer in the store had been ran T sacked and were left standing open, and the piles of clothing upon the counters and shelves, hat and shoe boxes were strewn promiscuously about. The show window, containing a finer grade of goods, such as silk handkerchiefs, hosiery, gloves, shirts, suspenders, etc.. was thoroughly cleaned out. Mr. Montgomery misses several pairs of pantaloons, a number of coats, and large quantities of furnishing goods, the whole footing up several hundred dollars in value. This makes the third time that his store has been robbed since he has been in business in this place, and each time his loss was considerable. The brace-bit used in boring the door was found lying in the gut ter near the building. INDIGERTION.—The main cause of nen ! vousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach.

A gigging party spent a portion of Thursday night in the Juniata, and met with considerable success. Last week could not have been a good time for catching bass, as fishermen report a small catch during the entire week. For several flays past the water has been too clear for successful hass fishing. Old fishermen tell us that these fish are hard to take when the water is clear. Rabbits are reportfld to be unusually plenty this season. One gentleman informs us that he counted forty in one wheat field in the Shavers Creek region the other day. Oae day last week John Brown and John Mw bus, of this place, went to Manayunk on a bass fishing excursion, and with four outlines succeeded in catching ten good sized fish. Dr. Carver, the great Western marksman, gate an exhibition of his skill in Brooklyn driving park, on Saturday, by breaking 5,500 glass balls with a rifle in less than five hun dred minutes. He had 722 misses, but suc ceeded in accomplishing the feat and having 41i minutes to spare. One of our employes, who has been boasting for some time past of his skill with the rod, and his knowledge of the proper bait to be used in catching bass, at 3 o'clock, A. M., on Wednesday last, started for the fishing grounds in the neighborhood of the lower dam, fully equipped with rod, lines, bait, etc. He cast his line about half-past four in the morning, and fished faithfully from that time until 4 in the afternoon. He tried crabs, minnows, grass hoppers, toads, filligreasers, red worms, &c., but did not succeed in getting a nibble, and he returned home in the evening foot-sore and weary, with his proboscis burned as red as salamander, and utterly disgusted with the sp)rt of fishing for bass. THE COMING ECLIPSE.—On Monday next, the 29th inst., a total eclipse of the sun will take place. The United States Signal Service, with the idea of gaining all the infor mation possible from the event, has requested every one in all portions of the country, who have instruments, to make observations of the eclipse, and, with a view to securing accuracy, Washington time will be sent to all prominent cities for them before the 29th. A supple ment to the "Nautical Almanac," speaking of the eclipse, says : "This eclipse may be regarded as the return of that of July 18, 1860, when the shadow of the moon crossed Hudson Bay territory, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain and Africa. During its progress the dark shadow of the moon will first strike the earth in the Province of Ikontsk, Siberia, in longitude 117° 32 1 east of Green wich, and latitude 54° 14' north. Its course will at first be east-northeast, but will gradu ally change to east, and, after leaving Asia to the southeast, it will cross Bebrings Straits, in latitude 60° 40 1 north, in an easterly direc tion, pass a little northeast of Sitka, cross the British Possession toward the southeast, and enter the United States in longitude 38° west of Washington. In this country it will sweep over the western end of Montana Territory, the Yellowstone, National Park, Wyoming Territory, Denver, Colorado and Northern and Eastern Texas, entering the Gulf of Mexico between New Orleans and Galveston. It will then pass over most of the island of Cuba and Southern San Domingo, and leave the earth a little southeast of the latter island. Within this country the breadth of the shadow will be about 116 miles. The eclipse will be visi ble as a partial one over all the United States, Mexico and British America, on the afternoon of Monday, July 29." CAMP MEETING.—A union camp-meet ing of Manor Hill, Ennisville and Petersburg charges, will be held at Mooresville, Hunting don county, Pa., to commmence Thursday, August Bth and close August 15th.

DENTAL MEETING.—The Central Penn• sylvania Dental Association met in Tyrone, Pa., July 17th, holding a two days' session. An essay was read by Dr. G. L. Robb on The Decline of Mechanical Dentistry, and Dr. J. M. Stewart one on The Dentist as a Teacher. A paper was submitted by Dr. J. W. Isenberg on The best means of Elevating the Profession, and one by Dr. M. L. Logan on Anesthesia. The various subjects presented by these essays and papers were discussed by most of the members present. The meeting was large ly attended, showing that the dentists are alive to the importance of arriving at and sustaining a high character of professional skill. Were the people to spend a little more time at these meetings, they would soon learn that the dentist's greatest ambition is to do the greatest good to the greatest number. J. GENERAL SICKLE'S FATHER.—General Daniel E. Sickles, late United States Minister to Spain, possesses not only a lovely wile, but a most venerable and handsome old father, who resides in Westchester county, and who worships his son as if he were a demi-god. This fine old Gentleman can talk blithely and nimbly on almost all topics, but on two be is especially eloquent. The first is on his boy "Dan," the apple of his eye and the pride of his ripe old age. The second—and there is nothing ridiculous in his enthusiasm—is his friend Dr. Wm. M. Giles, of Eastchester, to whose Liniment lodide Ammonia he owes his total emancipation from rheumatism in its cruelest form. Sold by all druggists. Send for pamphlet. Da. GILES, 120 West Broadway, N.
