a newspaper is a pitiable sight as he stands
about our business houses watching his chance

about him.

An exchange says; "It's funny that when
you ask a man to advertise, he generally de

dignant over the certainty that 'everybody'll
see it.'"

"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

their wings droop and they drop over dead.

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 •

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.

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. No one can have
sound nerves and good health without using
Hop Bitters to strengthen the stomach, purify
the blood, and to keep the liver and kidneys
active, to carry off all the poisonous and waste
matter of the system. Bce other column.

SPatTING NOTES.—
A large variety of Bass Flies just received
at the Juno's', Store. Price 20 cents.
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,

is held, is located immediately on the main
road leading up through the valley, about six
miles from the P. R. R., and convenient of
access from all points.
Good boarding can be secured on the ground

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.

EDITOR JOUIINAL-
Dear Sir :—I am informed that
JAMES McELROY, of Porter township, is a
candidate fur Register and Recorder, and
knowing him as do, I can say that he is an
excellent man, and would be 'a credit to the
ticket. Being strictly honest, and every way
qualified to discharge the duties of the office
lie is seeking, I trust the Republican Con
vention will not hesitate to place him in nom
ination. In making a selection of candidates
locality should receive some consideration ;
candidates should not all come from one lo
cality. A proper regard for locality has a
tendency to strengthen the ti4et.
