The Huntingdon Journal FRIDAY, - _ P. ENDING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE IV. L.' FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, Is the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisements for the JOURNAL. lie has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen. Mosquitoes. Cat concerts. Muzzle the dogs. It's too hot to fish Berry parties are numerous. Bedford is to have gas works.

All the daily papers at the JOURNAL Store. Hay sells for three dollars a ton in Lebanon county. Car thieves are operating in the vicinity of Lewistown. The Bedford Inquirer calls Speer "the shift tail orator." Newspaper men should come down squarely against free puffing. A mad dog, of the Spitz breed, was killed in Altoona last week. The last of the train agents were taken off the P. B. R. last t‘eek. H. C. Rohm is on his semi-annual visit to his old stamping ground. We have just opened a fine line of money purses at the JOURNAL Store. One hundrei copies of the Nickel Library for sa'e at the JOURNAL Store. A rural inventor has patented a padded gate-top to facilitate courtship. The Pacific Express was one hour and forty minutes late on Saturday morning. The number of people who are in the melt ing mood now-a-days is surprising. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon was present at "bush meeting" on Sunday forenoon. Our old friend 'Squire Plummer,of Tod town ship, dropped in to see us on Tuesday last. If we don't get the new penitentiary we should by all means have an insane asylum. The irrepressible Col. Jim Milliken writes to his father that he is prospering in Egypt. For the present none but perishable freight will be carried over the P. R. R. on Sunday. Several mills in the lower end of the county have shut down on account of the scarcity of water. Beer has tumbled to three cents a glass in Pittsburgh, and its drinkers tumble in the gutter. The Altoona Globe fails to reach us since it has been converted into a weekly. Why is this thus ? During the dry and dusty weather our peo ple feel the want of water works. The dust is almost intolerable. For a week past a fire has been raging on Warrior Ridgs which has destroyed consider able quantities of timber. The handsomest paper, for making wall pockets, in town, all colors and styles, just re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. A former oil prince, who at one time is said to have been worth $200,000, is now begging his bread in the city of Erie. Altoona females, according to the papers thereaways, visit Hollidaysburg for the pur pose of indulging in little jamborees. Rev. D. S. Monroe, Secretary of the Central Pennsylvania M. E.

A Cincinnati physician says that sunstroke may be cured by applying hot salt water free ly to the patient's head, face, neck and chest. Orbisonia Leader 25th ult. : A miner named David Bremen, had his leg broken, at one of the Company's mines at Rockhill, on Wednes day. A gallon of warm water poured on a pail full of walnut leaves will make a safe wash for horses and cattle, and protect them from flies. Some institutions, like individuals, are very desirous to receive newspaper notices, pro vided it is done at the expense or the pub lishers. The eclipse was a failure in this locality, owing to the heavy clouds which shut the sun out from view, and smoked glass was at a dis count. The Lewistown Sentinel is mistaken about Prof. A. L. Guss residing in Juniata county. The Professor is a citizen of "ye ancient borough." The exchange thief is about again ; he car ried off the Altoona Sun, and two or three other papers, before we had an opportunity to read them. The long season of dry weather has spoiled the prospective large whortleberry crop. Berry gatherers report them as having dried upon the bushes. There was considerable bad blood displayed at the delegate election of Greenbackers, in the second ward, in this borough, on Saturday night last. The highways and byways of this town should be looked after by the Town Council, and all disease breeding spots removed or disenfected. Thieves entered the residence of Mr. Geo. Isenberg, in Altoona, the other night, and cleaned it out, during the absence of Mr. I. and his family. A couple of lewd girls and a gang of black guardyoungrnen made themselves conspicuous on the road leading to the •bush meeting - on Sunday evening. Commercial printing a specialty at the JOUR wet. Job Rooms. We have the finest stock to select from in the interior of the State. Send along your orders. tf. Second street, or what was formerly called Broad or Jail street, is receiving a top dtess ing, of gravel which will be of great advantage to that thoroughfare. A new invoice of the handsomest stationery ever brought to Huntingdon has just been re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. It is really beautiful, and so cheap. tf. The "Baby's Best Friend" is Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, since it maintains the Baby's health by keeping it free from Colic, Diarrhoea, etc. Price 25 cents per bottle. Dr. Samuel B. Crawford, an eminent physi cian of M'Veytovrn, died at his residence, in that village, on Tuesday morning of last week, in the 61st year of his age. There are thirty-two circuses on the road this season, and we ere pleased to announce that up to this time none of them have struck the road leading to Huntingdon. Our friends in Warriorsmark township will enjoy themselves with the pleasures of a big harvest home to-morrow, Saturday. Rev. W. S. H. Keys will deliver an oration. Owing to the long continued drought, and the short pasture, butter has become scarce in this market, and some that is brought in would make better wagon grease. There promises to be trouble in the Green back camp, judging from the curses, both loud and deep, that were freely uttered on Saturday might by members of that organization. The Oakland, Pa., Camp Meeting Associa tion charge an admission fee of ten cents to all visitors. Any way to turn an honest penny and serve (?) the Lord at the same time. The venerable mother of our townsman, John W. Vattern, esq., died at her residence, in Franklinville, this county, on Friday of last week, at the advanced age of eighty one years. "Dull times, yea, almost starving times, in the oil fields now," says the Clarion Republican, and in truth of the assertion the same paper publishes three columns and a half of sheriff's sales. tine evening last week, in the vicinity of Tipton, Blair county, a young man named John Evans, was attacked by six tramps, who beat him and robbed him of $5.50, all the money be had. Our young friend, Pommy Africa, who has been on the iuralil list for a month or two. has gone to the country to recuperate, which we hope be may lie successful in speedily doing. Dr. Cf. W. Green, of New Castle, Pa., na' tive of this county, spent a few lays parents in Ciay township, last week. We are pleased to learn that the Doctor is flourishing like a green bay tree. I thr frienii, W. P. Conrail is the only Demo crat in the county who has the nerve ti, ioi nounce himself, through the columns of his party organ, for office. Ile sivaul l he nominal ed without opposition. Looked suspicious—The way two prominent politicians reeled while making the crossing at 4th and Penn on Wednesday. The general opinion of the bystanders was that it was not all put on for the occasion. On the first page of to-day's issue will be found two communications, to which the at tention of the reader is called. They will amply remunerate any person for the time consumed in their perusal. The residence of Benjamin Norton, in New ton Hamilton, Mifflin county, was totally de stroyed by fire on Monday last, but the greater part of the furniture was saved. As to how the fire originated is a mystery. We learn that the Juniata Tribune printing establishment has been sold to Ezra D. Parker, esq., of Mifflintown, and that after the 13th inst., it will be converted into a Democratic paper, with T. S. Garmas as its prospective editor. A couple of street-corner dealers in black ing held forth on Penn street, on Friday eve ning, and by the aid of the banjo and singing, collected a good-sized crowd of listeners, from whom they gathered numerous ten cent pieces. Allegheny street, from the depot to the viaduct, at the lower end of town, seemed to be overrun by tramps on Friday night, and some of them were the most ill-looking speci mens of the genus homo that we have seen for many a day. Don't borrow trouble. If you want any, and don't know where to get it, start a newspaper, run it a few years, and then try to collect the money you have earned. Our word for it you will have as much trouble as you wil know what to do with. There is no better time than the present, when trade is dull, to try the virtue of a liberal use of printer's ink. If there is any thing that will bring you customers, and start the wheels of traffic, a free use of printers' ink will do it. Try it. We were in error last week when we stated that Robert Lott was playing porter at the Miller House. Robert is portering on his own hook, and will be found at the depot upon the arrival of every train, ready to deliver baggage to any part of the town. The business men in the neighborhood of Fifth and Washington streets have employed a night watchman, whose duty it is to keep an eye on the stores in that locality. This is a good idea, and one which should be imitated in other sections of the town. One hundred and twenty-five Altoona ex cursionists, with a band of music, passed through this place, on board the Pacific Ex press, on Saturday morning last, bound for Lewistown whither they go to explore the mysteries of a cave in that section. Owing to the continued dry spell a short corn crop is predicted. Whilst the corn has suffered in this vicinity, we are informed that in some sections of the county it never looked better at this season, and the promise for a large yield never was more favorable. John Bell, better known as "Satan," ayoung colored man of this place, was overcome by the heat on Thursday afternoon, and for several hours was considerably prostrated.— He was attended by Dr. Jackson, who suc ceeded in getting him on his pins again. The other day a boy purchased a nickel novel at the JOURNAL Store, read it through, and then addressed his mother thus : "Mother, let me be an Indian, Let my blanket be of red, Kill the rooster in the barn-yard For a feather for my head." A tramp, who was arrested for jumping on the cars, raised considerable rumpus in the neighborhood of the depot,on Monday evening. He was lodged in jail, and before he is re leased the county will have the pleasure, of paying several dollars in the shape of board bill and costs. The colored people ofthis place commenced a series of "bush meetings," in M'Cahan's Grove, about one mile from town, on Sunday morning last, which lasted until Thursday.— A large number of people were present at the Sunday evening exercises, and the best of order prevailed. The first rain, of any consequence, for the space of four or five weeks, fell in this neigh borhood at a late hour on Friday night, and was of immense value to parched and droop ing vegetation. A heavy wind accompanied the rain, and large quantities of fruit were shaken from the trees. If we are not mistaken there is a law in this borough compelling the owners of dogs to wear a muzzle upon them during a certain season of the year. If such a law exists it is the duty of those in authority to enforce it in this season of mad dogs. Look up the law, gentlemen of the Council. We observed our friend, Rev. J. W. Ealy, hurriedly pass along Fifth street, the other morning; he was trying to make the train, and as it was lying at the depot he could not spare the time to stop and intertwine digits with us. Ills robust appearance indicates the enjoyment of good health. The Coleman estate, in Lebanon county, one of the largest and best in the State, in order to give employment to men in that locality, discarded the reapers and mowers this season and cut the immense crops with the old fashioned scythes and cradles. A gang of twenty-seven men was a sight seen in one field during the late harvest. The late Presidential contest engendered much "bad blood," which coolness and judg ment will correct. The "bad blood" induced by a persistent violation of Nature's-great but simple laws requires not only coolness and judgment, bur obedience to hygienic measures and the proper use of Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture to insure its purification. The aged mother of Rev. A. Nelson Holli field, of our town, died at Reeserille, Chester county, Pa., on Thursday morning of last week, in the 70th year of her age. During her brief residence in our town she had made many warm friends who will mourn her death with real sorrow, although she had lived the allotted three score and ten. A tramp hailing from Ann Arbor, Midi., who gave his name as Deßoy Phelsh, had one of his legs badly crushed between the bumpers of two freight cars, upon which he was "dead heading" it, on Friday night last, at Warrior Ridge station, four miles west of this place. He was brought to this place the same evening, and removed to the Aims-house ou Saturday morning. The Altoona City Band, under the leader ship of our former townsman, Jule Neff, gave our citizens some excellent music while the train, which carried the excursionists to Lew istown, on Saturday last, tarried at the depot. The only fault we found was that there was not enough of it. Since a number of Hun tingdon's musicians removal!). to Altoona that city has built up good bands. On Sunday evening the fire which had been burning on Warrior Ridge for a week or more, got so close to the fences on the farm of our townsman, Dr. R. A Miller, that he had to put crowd of men to work to beat back the flames in order to save his property from de struction. The firm is located in Oneida township, on the Warm Springs road, and about four miles from town. Our friend and townsman, Jess,! Summers, has broke ground for a brick yard on the land of R. R. Bryan, esq., on the north side of the road leading to the Warm Springs, about one mile from this place. Mr. Summers has had large experience in the manufacture of brick, and with the superior quality of clay which be informs us is to be had in his yard, he will be able to make a first-class article. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. On Monday last, as Mr. Scott Baker, of Tod township, was driving from his home to this place, in a buggy, his horse took fright, be came unmanageable, and ran away. When in the vicinity of Paradise Furnace, in said township, the wheels of the buggy struck a stump standing near the road, throwing Mr. Baker out among the wheels, from which position he extricated himself with great difficulty. One of his arms was dislocated and his body considerably bruised. We would warn our brother editors against one G. P, Frederick, who calls himself a pub,. fisher of map guides from Philadelphia—a long way from Philadelphia, we suppose. lie is a drunken vagabond, and exceeding slippery.

The law passed last winter, relating to stealing passage on railroad cars, is an im position on the taxpayers of the State. The law compels the fining and imprisoning of every person convicted of the offense, and the result is that every county in which the of fense is committed will be saddled with jail fees anti other costs, for in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred the guilty parties are penniless tramps, who are unable to pay, and who don't care a continental how often they are arrested. The law is an outrage. Our townsman, Mr. Jackson Lamberson, whose occupation is that of a carpenter and bridge contractor, while working on the Mill Creek river bridge, on Thursday last, fell off the structure, a distance of twenty odd feet, dislocating his right hip, breaking his shoulder bone, cutting two or three ugly gashes on his head, beside being bruised over his entire body. His wounds are severe, and although notdangerous, will prevent him from pursuing his calling for months to come. We sympa thize with our friend in his misfortune. The Soldiers' Orphan School at Anderson burg wiil be closed on the 30th of August next, and the children transferred to other schools. The school will be closed at the request of Prof. hall, who says that the limited number of pupils in attendance will not justify him in continuing it at the usual rates paid by the State. Mothers and guar dians can select the school they prefer their children to go to if done within two weeks from this date, but if they fail to do so the pupils will be transferred by the Department to such schools as it may select. We ackno•vledge the receipt of an invitation, accompanied by the necessary "paste-boards," to join the excursion of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association to the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. It is expected that the excursionists will leave Pittsburgh on Tuesday, August 20th, and consume about a week in making the trip. Our invitation came through Col. Wm. Foulk, general busi ness agent of the Association, and, who, we suppose, will pilot the pencil-shovers. It will be a pleasant journey, and if we can "make the riffle" we propose to make one of the party. The paper mill of Morrison, Bare Sc Co's., at Roaring Springs, Blair county, made a narrow escape from destruction by fire on \Vednesday evening of last week. As it was, the chemical apartment, a room fifty feet in length, was totally consumed, involving a loss of $2OOO. There seems to be a conflict of opinion in re gard to the firing of the building; a workman contending that it was fired by a spark from a passing engine, whilst Mr. Bare, one of the proprietors, thinks that it caught from the heat generated by the soda-ash used in the preparation of material for the manufacture of paper. A chap pretending to represent Cole's circus has been duping the landlords and people of Lock Haven. We believe the same individual borrowed five dollars from one of our Belle fonte landlords. Cole's circus, which he pre tended was coming to Lock Haven is now away out in Michigan, and may not be in this section of country this season.—Bellefonte Watchman. We suppose this same chap has been "doing" some Altooniane, as we saw a notice in the papers of that city that Cole's circus was to exhibit there on the 31 inst.— We advise landlords to keep a top eye open for advance agents. This from an exchange : We like to see a man refuse to take his local paper, and all the time sponge on his neighbor the reading of it. We like to hear a man complain when we ask him to subscribe for his local paper, that he takes more papers than be reads now, and then go around and borrow his neighbor's, or loaf around him until he gets the news from it. We like to see a man run down his home paper as not worth taking, and every now and then beg the editor fur a favor in the editorial line. We like to hear a merchant refuse to advertise in a house paper, and then try to get a share of trade which other people bring to town. An exchange says, with truth : Idleness is mother of vice, and a boy who is allowed to grow up in idleness is pretty sure to be a vicious man. The parents of such boys have a fearful responsibility resting upon them when they let their sons run about late hours of the night instead of keeping them at home reading good newspapers and books, and train ing them into moral habits so as to become respectable men instead of idlers, rum-drinkers, gamblers and loafers, which is sure to be the case with the night runners and dayidlers.— Give the boys plenty to do, and you will pre serve their morals. Better a tired body than a vitiated mind. We learn from an exchange that a couple of gentlemen are now engaged in making a lithographic view of Bellefonte. Not long since two chaps tried to make a view of Hun tingdon, and how signally they failed to do so, it is only necessary for us to say that their pictures, for which subscribers paid $2.50, can now be purchased in this market at prices varying from one dollar to fifty cents. Take away the name of the town from the bottom of the picture, and remove the names of our citizens who have their residences in the vignette, and there is not a man in the county who will be able to recognize the tow❑. It will answer just as well for any other town as it does fur Huntingdon. Fashion is always changing the size and shape of note-paper and envelopes, but the quality never alters. Nothing looks poorer or more untidy than thin paper, and envelo pes that do not conceal the writing. No let ters should ever be crossed, even among rela tives or intimate friends. Some literary peo ple affect carelessness in writing, thinking it rather Byronic to do so, but if they realized the effect produced by a slovenly letter upon the mind of the recipient, they would never repeat the offence. In no way is one's culture sooner judged of than by his manner of wri ting a note or a letter. The very latest st3lea and best quality of all kinds of Stationery can always be had at the JOURNAL Store. Three tramps were brought to this place, on the 4:15 train on Sunday afternoon, and lodged in jail, charged with the robbery of a fellow traveler. It seems that a party of five tramps were stealing their way westward, on board of a freight train, one of whom was possessed of a watch, a gun and about one dollar in cash. When the train stopped to take water at Warrior Ridge station, four miles west of this place, on Saturday night last, his four companions, with real communistic spirit, attacked him, beat him severely, and robbed him of all his earthly possesions.—.- Three of the party were arrested, one of whom had the gun in his possession, but one eluded the officers and got away with the watch and the cash. We were shown, by Dr. Brumbaugh, a col lection of rare and beautiful specimens cf minerals, etc., contributed to the cabinet of the Normal and Collegiate Institute of Hun tingdon, by S. D. Button of Philadelphia.-- These were the first specimens deposited for this Institution. The Dr. has been appointed by the Board of Trustees to solicit contribu tions of books, and funds for the Library ; and he will also be glad to receive contributions of minerals, fossils or petrefactions, things rare or curious, or whatever might be useful or valuable in a cabinet. Each article con tributed will bear upon its label the name of the contributor, as well as be publicly ac knowledged. This is a good cause and should be encouraged. The valuable sorrel mare of our neighbor, Geo. A. Port, esq.. had one of her front legs severely cut, on Thursday night last, by get ting it entangled in her halter chain. The wound, which is several inches in length, and so deep that the bone is exposed, is on the inside of the leg close to her body, and the supposition is that it was made by the soap clasp on the end of the chain. The muscles and leaders of the leg were all exposed and presented an ugly sight. The cut was care fully washed and sewed, and we think, with proper care, will heal in due time, but we have our fears that the leg will be permanently injured. The animal is one of the best travellers in town, and it will be a great pity if this accident should result in making her a cripple. There was considerable excitement in the neighborhood of the Union depot, upon the arrival of the Phila. Express, on Friday night last, occasioned by the attempted arrest of three or four tramps who had violated the law relating to stealing a ride upon railroad cars. When the train stopped at the depot the tramps left it, and started down Allegheny street, followed by the officer, who called to them to halt, and upon their refusal to comply ‘vith his recinest he whipped out Id revolver and fired il. couple shots at the fleeing traveler:, but even this did not stop them.— [►uring the night, we understand, one of the party tell into the hands of Constable West brook, and was given quarters in Fort Irvin. We don't know who the officer was who fired the shot : .vas he should be arrested and punished for shooting along it public street when, owing to the darkness, he was unable to tell who might be struck bt• the bid!. Some officers should earry a quill pup -:!nn rken SI.01:1ING - Wcanes4lay closed the trout season. The legal season for catching trout has ex pired. Bass taken on the fly. You cau get them at the JOURNAL Store. A fishing party, for the headwaters of the Raystown Branch, is thlked of, where a week or ten days will be spent in camp. Forest and Stream, a we9kly publication, contains much of value and interest to sports men. It can be had at the JOURNAL News De pot. Our friend, Dr. Jackson, has a Beigle "purp" of liliputian dimensions, but what he lacks in size is fully made up by the immensity of his lungs. Our Washington street merchant friend, J. R. Carmon, who prides himself as an expert pike angler, caught several fine ones one even ing last week. If you would avoid the trouble and labor of bunting bait, and the loss of time in keeping it properly on your hook, buy a bass fly at the JOURNAL :Store. Henry Merritts caught thirteen large sized pike on Saturday last, and had them on sale in this place the same afternoon. Henry is an expert in trolling for these fish. During the past week a good many pike have been caught in the waters of Stone Creek, in the vicinity of "Simpsons' Bottom," distant from this place about one mile and a quarter. In Cambria county, a few nights ago, a be lated citizen was attacked by au owl, which bit and scratched him severely, but by vigor ously clubbing the bird "let up" and broke for the "big timber." A pigeon match, between Capt. Bogardus. cf the United States, and a Mr. Wallace, of England, on the 19th ult., resulted in a draw, each man killing ninety-seven birds. They met again on the 24th and Wallace carried off the blue ribbon. One morning last week, Ed. Stewart caught a cat-fish, on an outline, which weighed 3f pounds, and upon opening the fish he found in it a stone which measured seven inches in circumference, five inches in diameter, and weighed 2/ ounces. The juveniles display a large amount of pa tience in trying to tempt the bass, to be seen under the river bridge, to bite at the bait thrown to them. Some good-sized ones can be seen there at any time, but they are mighty shy of the tempting bait. Rarus, the monarch of the trotting turf, at Cleveland, on Friday last, made the fastest three tulle trot in the world, beating Gold smith's Maid's time with apparent ease. The following is the time of the several heats : First heat, 2:141 ; second, 2:15 ; third, 2:14. A couple of enterprising young gentlemen, residing in the Loop, near Hollidaysburg, have succeeded in training four toads, which ac cording to the Standard, live in mud houses constructed by their owners, wear a harness without kicking, and draw a sled from place to place to which they are attached. Game of all kinds promises to be unusually plenty this season. A gentleman informs us that in walking from Marklesburg to this place, on Sunday last, he saw several rabbits, pheasants and squirrels, and upon an oak tree, standing near the public road, lie discovered three half-grown raccoons. J. B. Watkins, of Quitman, Georgia, tells this story : "While fishing with set lines for catfish in the Coosa river, a small three-pound cat was caught. This cat was put on one of the lines whole for bait. Visiting the hooks next day, it was discovered that something tremendous had been caught. It proved to be a cat which weighed forty-two pounds. Upon examination it was found that the first fish of three pounds had been swallowed by an eleven pound cat and been caught, and in turn the two had been swallowed by the forty-two pounder. The three weighed fifty-six pounds. As all of our readers are more or less inter ested in the success of the efforts of the Fish Commissioners to populate our streams with good table fish, we think the following article from the Harrisburg Telegraph will be read with interest: , 'Accounts from all parts of the State where the Fish Commissioners have deposited within the last four years young fish of different varieties show that they are flourishing, and that within two years, more and greater vari eties of fish have been taken in the Delaware, Susquehanna and the Juniata than were ever hooked or gilled in the same streams. The amount of salmon caught in these streams, to say nothing of the bass, has been immense, and the trade has already reached an aggre gate of receipts in money to be rated as an item of importance in the commercial receipts of the State. It was reported at first that the bass had cleared the streams of other fish, but this is not correct, as the cat fish, suckers, fall fish, &c., are as plentiful in their usual haunts as they were before the introduction of the bass. On the subject of shad there is still a feeling of great dissatisfaction along the Susquehanna from Columbia as far up north and west as that fish has heretofore located its spawning ground. The State has expended large sums of money during the last fifteen year:, and still there has been little profitable improve ment in shad fishing above the Columbia dam, but enough has been accomplished to show that the obstructions at the different dams and chutes along the Susquehanna and Juniata are sufficient to prevent the upward passage of these fish, and that the only recouse now is to make the fishways at these different points entirely successful by the erection of gates at the Columbia and other dams, which may be opened and shut to accommodate the run of shad, and secure in low water all the feeding necessary to run the canals. It is idle longer to parley on this subject. Thous ands of dollars have been wasted in efforts to secure the passage of fish by "ways" and "chutes." so that what we need and must have are openings in the several dams, which neither can be "shingled" nor obstructed by accumulations of timber or debris of any kind. We have learned enough to know that shad will pass up stream, if the dams are cut or broken down to low water mark. The catch at various places along the river prove this, and now what we want are openings made in accordance with law in the dams to enable all fish thus to pass to their spawning ground. We have no fault to find with the Fish Com missioners. They have experimented with ability and industry, but the results have only shown that it requires practical, thorough work on the dams, opening the obstructions, and no longer wasting time or money in en deavoring to surmount them. It must be done at all dams in whatever streams, in the Susquehanna or its tributaries, when we will have shad in abundance; shad by the hun dreds of thousands instead of in pairs or triplets. We have repeatedly called attention to this fact, and shall do it as often hereafter, until the result desired is attained. There is no reason why the Susquehanna, along its entire length, should not be a prolific shad fishing ground. It can be made all this without in the least impairing the interests of navigation, and we intend to urge this until it is accom plished." A WEDDING NIPPED IN THE BUD.— A prospective wedding, which was to have come off, in this place, on Friday last, was suddenly nipped in the bud by the intended bridegroom skipping for parts unknown. The wardrobe of the bridegroom being rather sbab by, and he not having the wherewith to pur chase a new one, his intended took pity on him, purchased him a new suit, and gave him some loose change besides, in order that he might appear to advantage on the night when two souls were to be made happy. The happy moment arrived when the two were to be made one, but 10, the bridegroom came not, and after diligent inquiry, it was ascertained that he had departed for some other field, dressed in his new clothes and jingling in his pockets the shekels so generously given him by the lady who was willing to unite her for- tunes with his. Up to this time his wherea bouts is unknown, and the intended bride is out of pocket several dollars. Montgomery has determined to close out his entire stock of inen's,youth's and boys' ready made clothing. lie will now sell very low to close out. Don't fail to call on him when you want clothing. [aug2-4t Thieves know who sells the best clothing in Huntingdon. They steal from Montgomery every time. The public would do well to make a note of this. [aug2-4t THE KILKENNY CAT FIGHT ECLIPSED. —3.‘n BLOOD ExtliarrED IN TIIE GREENBACK CAMP.—For a week past it was evident to the close observer that there was something more than usual transpiring in the Greenback camp. Little knots of the followers of Brick Pomeroy could be seen upon the street corueis, enga ged in earnest conversation, from early morn ing until twelve undone o'clock at night. One of the more ardent supporters of that cause, during the past week has talked so ninth that lie has lost ten or fifteen pounds in weight, and has become such a terror to persons who lure quiet and Wilo do not feel like being talked to death ' that when they see him ap proaching they flee as from a pestilence. The cause of all this extra talking and undue ex citement was caused by the delegate elections un Saturday night, and grew out of the efforts of "shirt-tail Speer" to run the primaries of that party. At the second ward polls the ex. citement ran high, and for a little while it looked as if some of the participants would resort to regular "knock-down" argument to sustain their position. The lie was freely given by both factions, and at one time we were sure that the services of a police officer would be necessary to restore quiet. Several persons, who have been acting with that party and voting with it, but who had not signed the constitution of the club,• when they pre sented themselves to vote were flatly refused, and no amount of promises to vote the ticket this fall would enable them to get in their bal lots. This decision caused more trouble, and looked as if it had been a nice little "set up" by those in the "ring." We heard a dozen or more persons who were not permitted to vote say that the party could go to that country about the existence of which Beecher has some grave doubts. In the First Ward, we under stand, about the lame state of affairs existed, only that both Republicans and Democrats were permitted to vote. They are a "happy family," and to an old stager in politics their conduct on Saturday night was really laugha ble. As we do not know the leaders of the clans we are unable to say which fiction car ried off the blue ribbon. THE ACTS OF DEVILS.—On Tuesday morning of last week the citizens of Titusville Pa., were greatly excited and justly indignant, when it became known to them that the resi dence of Rev. W. J. Chichester had been entered by human devils and its contents outrageously despoiled. Mr. Chichester, for a number of years, occupied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church in Altoona, and having often, during that time, preached in the Presbyterian church, in this place, and is well known to many of our citizens. He resigned his charge in Altoona, and accepted a call from Titusville, whither be recently removed. At the time the outrage was perpe trated he was absent at Cape May. The trunks and drawers had been emptied and the contents scattered over the floor ; the furni ture was saturated with kerosene oil and be smeared with salt, sugar, and jelly ; the bed ding was ripped and cut open with knives, and the feathers spread broadcast ; ink was poured over the carpets, lounges and chairs ; the lamps were broken into fragments ; a card case and other metallic ornaments, including a fine clo3k, were twisted out of shape and hurled into the cellar ; valuable photographs and pictures were torn to pieces and strewn about; the sewing machine was mutilated, and a family relic in the shape of a silver watch was taken to pieces, the works thrown on a table and the case left on the floor. The wails were defiled by filly and obscene in scriptions. The house was full of gas caused by the leaving of a stop-cock turned on. The most extraordinary feature of the outrage is its pure deviltry, inasmuch as nothing was removed or purloined from the dwelling to indicate a felonious attempt to rob or steal. We glean the above facts from the Altoona Mirror. HOT AND COLD SUMMERS.—Somebody has been hunting up the hot days during the past century, and reports them as follows : July 2, 1777, 102 ; August 8, 1780, 105 ; July 5, 1791, 111 July 10, 1804, 105 ; July 20, 1815, 105 ; July 4, 1824, 108 ; August 2,183 G, 108 ; July 26, 1847, 105 ; July 5, 1855, 106 ; July 10, 1866, 104; July 17, 1871, 104; July 5, 1876, 105 ; July 26, 1877, 95 degrees in the shade. Tuesday the thermometer stood at 98 in the shade. It will be seen that on July 5, 1791, occurred the hottest day for a century, when the mercury marked 111 degrees by the shade at noon. In 1816 there was frost every month during the year, and farmers wore overcoats in their harvest fields, and the weather was decidedly cool during the entire year. The wheat crop was abundant: the potato crop large. It was known as the cold summer. The summer of 1836 was nearly as cold as that of 1816. There were frosts every month in the year; there were 178 days of east wind and rain, and the only summer weather occurred on the first fourteen days of September, when the mercury in the thermometer ranged up to 93 degrees. A LEETLE TOO MODEST.—A lady on the northside wishing to test the merits of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup thought it would never do to ask the druggist in the name of "Bull," Why, dear me, she couldn't say Bull to save her life, and called at last on a neighbor woman for suggestions on the matter. Dr. Cow's, Dr. Calf's Dr. Buffalo's and Dr. Oxen's Syrup were all mentioned. The latter suited. "Yes, that will do—Dr. Oxen—the very thing, the druggist will understand that." A walk of two squares found her at the counter of Dr. ll—'s store, when the following dialogue occurred : "I wish a bottle of Dr. Oxen's Cough Syrup." "Dr. Oxen, Oxen, why, mam, I don't believe I keep that. You mean Coz's Hive Syrup." "Oh, no, I mean, mean Dr. Oxen," and then she wrapped in solemn thought for a moment, when a bright idea seemed to beam forth. "Hasn't Dr. Oxen got a relation or—" "Oh, yes, you mean Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, yes, yes." The lady sat down a moment and all was ove. (Indianapolis Exch.)

FIRE.—On Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a dwelling house about a mile and a half from this place, in Warriorsmark town ship, Huntingdon county, owned by Mr. C. M. Trimble, dairyman, and occupied by Mr. John A. Fleck, was discovered to be on fire pn the roof. Strenuous efforts were made at once to stop its progress, but the shingles being very dry the fire spread rapidly and soon was be yond control. The house was burned to the ground, along with a portion of Mr. Fleck's household goods. The loss of Mr. Trimble is $l5OO or $l6OO, on which there was no insur ance, and that of Mr. Fleck about $250.
