The Huntingdon Jouriwl AUGUST 9, 1878. FRIDAY, READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE W. 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. Ile has our best rates. "DEAD HEADS," TAKE NOTICE I—Ev ery now and then a paper is returned to this office, accompanied with information that the person to whom it was addressed had left for parts unknown, or refused to lift it. In nearly every case we find that the paper has not been paid for, and we are the loser. In order to have some satisfaction out of such scoundrels we have prepared a book, in which we enter their names, the place at which they received the paper, and the amount they owe us, and in the near future we propose to publish it, under the head of "Black List," in order that the public may know who they are. To be sure, this will not liquidate the claim we have against them, but it will be a satisfaction to us to publish their scoundrelism, and it may prevent others from being swindled by them. The man who takes a paper for a year or more, and refuses to pay for it is little better than the thief who enters your house and steals the same amount. They are both thieves, and if there is any difference between them, the lat ter is the more honest of the two. We have already a half dozen names on our list, and will add to it all those who refuse to pay for their papers. We have made up our mind that no newspaper "dead beat" can swindle us and escape without exposure. Those who don't want their names to appear in this list can prevent it by not attempting to cheat us out of our just dues. There are some men who take a paper from year to year without any idea of paying for it, and the sooner these men are known to the newspaper fraternity the better it will be for them. We have sent a bill to every man who owes us a year's subscription, so that no one can set up the plea that he did not know the amount of his indebtedness ; besides this the tab on every paper will give the desired infor matiou. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen. Eat crow Toadyism. Moonlight. Peaches in market. Corn looks promising. Showers are frequent. Pay your subscription.

We haven't seen a whortleberry in market this season. Burglars are plying their vocation at a lively rate in Altoona. Our green grocers are driving a lively trade in belly-ache stuff. There was a lively time on the last night of the "bush meeting." A few stray hail stones were visible during Saturday's heavy rain. Senator Fisher arrived home from Cape May on Friday evening last. A moonlight excursion is on the tspis among a number of Altoonians. An Argument Court for Blair county will be held on the 26th inst. A printers' pic-nic is talked of. It could be made an enjoyable affair. We bare just opened a fine line of money parses at the JOURNAL Store. One hundred copies of the Nickel Library for sale at the JOURNAL Store. The next State teachers' association will be meet at York in August, 1879. W. A. Zinn, postmaster at Newport, has cut stick and left for parts unknown. Blair county furnished five inmates for the penitentiary at the late session of her courts. Our old friend, Geo. W. Cornelius, esq., of Shirleysburg, dropped in to see us on Friday last. Send in your job work, if you want it done in the highest style of the art and at panic plices. Carpenters put the joist on the second story of the Normal School building the forepart of the week. One of Altoona's councilmen has been ar rested and held to bail to answer the serious charge of arson. The rain storms oflast week interfered with the "bush meeting," causing a suspension on two evenings. Much thunder and lightning, but very little rain, has been the order of the elements for a week or so past. Examine the tab on your paper and see if it is marked up. Every one of them ought to be marked up to 1879. Dedicatory services in the Lutheran church next Sabbath at 10} o'clock, A. m., 3 P. m., and 71 P. M. All are invited. The handsomest paper, for making wall pockets, in town, all colors and styles, just re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. The telegraph operators of the Middle Di vision of the P. R. R. will pic-nic at Lloyds ville on Thursday, the 15th inst. The cars, in the vicinity of Cresson, a day or two ago, made mince meat out of a simple minded tramp Darned John Mahon. Our farmer friends tell us that the early potato crop is almost a failure, but that the late crop promises to be abundant. A number of our citizens are housing their winter coal, which is a sensible thing to do if they hare the shekels wherewith to do it. Many of our farmers have already commenced their tall plowing, and the late rains have put the ground in capital order for such work. Samuel Sharrer, of Hollidaysburg, who has many warm friends in our town, is lying dangerously ill at his residence in that place. Jesse Summers has his new brick yard in smooth running order, and he is moulding brick at the rate of several thousands a day, Another small band of Gypsies passed through town on Saturday last. We suppose they are encamped at some point in the neigh borhood. The base of the bill aerass the river is a popular evening resort for sweltering hu manity. The breezes are pleasant and in vigorating. Harry L. Woods, who has been on the repor torial star of the Altoona Mirror for the past two years, has severed his connection with that paper. The law against corner loaang hag become a dead letter, judging from the crowds of "corner statuary" that adorn Fifth street, from Penn to Church. The Bedford Gazette is seventy-three years old, but notwithstanding its old age it is as "lively as a cricket" and as handsome as a Miss iu her teens. Seventy-five delegates and about one hun dred candidates were visible at the late Green back convention. "The office must seek the man"—in a horn. An itinerant musician, with guitar and mouth organ perambulated our streets on Friday evening much to the delight of the trundle bed brigade. Commercial printing a specialty at the Joys NIL Job Rooms. We have the finest stock to select from in the interior of the State. Send along your orders. tf, A. T. Grove, of Grafton, while visiting in Juniata township, one day last week, killed a rattlesnake five feet and a half long which sported fourteen rattles. A new invoice of the handsomest rtationery ever brought to Huntingdon has just been re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. It is really beautiful, and so cheap. Our old time friend, and former townsman, A. B. Flood, has opened an extensive bakery in Philipsburg, and we are pleased to learn is doing a prosperous business. John M'Coy, of our town, who lies been en gaged in making and burning a kiln of brick for a gentleman near Marklesburg, has com pleted the job and is at home again. Street-corner orators, of the Greenback persuasion, are not near so boisterous as they were ten days ago, which is a good thing for the nervous portion of our population. Mildness conquers—and hence it is that the gentle yet positive influence of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup overcomes so quickly the disorders of Babyhood. Price 25 cents. A copy of the Altoona Weekly Globe has reached us. It is a much neater paper than the daily was, and if it were not for its "bor rowed bowels" would pass muster. De Roy Phelsh, the tramp who had his leg crushed at Warrior Ridge station, on the 26th ult., and who was removed to the alms-house, died at that institution on Sunday last. Like beautiful jewels in brazen settings are handsome features upon a face marred by signs of blood poisoning. The great purifier of the blood is Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture. The wreck whistle was sounded about eleven o'clock on Friday night, but after the most diligent inquiry we have been unable to find out where the wreck was or the extent of it. The gutters along Fifth street were filled up with gravel after the rain on Saturday. It was washed from the hill, and gave Commis sioner Miller considerable labor to remove it. Mr. Lamberson, who was so seriously in jured by falling from the Mill Creek bridge, a notice of which appeared in last week's JOUR NAL, we are pleased to learn, is slowly recover ing. Capt. Evan Miles, the man who is giving it to the Indians "from the shoulder," is a native of Centre county, and was in command of camp "Crossman," near this place, during the war. There will he a partial eclipse of the moon on Monday night the 12th inst., and a total eclipse of the Greenback and Democratic par ties, on Tuesday, the sth day of November next. Jimmy Walls was In town on Wednesday, and from the quantity of surplus muslin fluttering in his rear, we presume "Gov." Dill would rasp his hand cordially if he were to meet him. Dr. W. B. Miller, of Altoona, a knight of the forceps, dropped in to see us, on Thursday last, on his way home from the meeting of the State Dental Society, at Bedford. lie is a very clever gentleman. Some of the Greenbackers in this place, who were boisterous before the meeting of the convention, have become as cool as cucumbers and as tame as church mice. There is always a calm after a storm. The State Dental Society met at Bedford Springs last week, and the meeting was one of the largest and pleasantest ever held. Our friend, Dr. Robb, was in attendance, and is delighted with his visit. The Camp Daily will be issued during the continuance of the Juniata Valley camp meet ing, at 25 cents for the term, or three cents per copy. The paper will be printed at the Lewistown Gazette office. Our merchant friend, J. R. Cannon, esq., started on a Western tour on Thursday morn ing of last week. He goes on a pleasure trip and before he returns he expects to travel through several States. The sewer inlet, at the corner of Fifth and Washington streets, was not large enough to take in the great volume of water which came pouring down Fifth street during the heavy shower on Saturday afternoon. Some of the Greenback orators, who boast of talking for two or three hours at a stretch, go upon the principle that what their bar rangues lack in quality is made up in quantity —which is bad for their hearers. Fifth street, between Penn and Washington, received the attention of Street Commissioner Miller last week, and the ugly bumps on that thoroughfare, which have been an eye-sore for months past, have all disappeared. A number of half-grown boys in this place, who are in the habit of making nocturnal raids upon their neighbor's gardens and steal ing fruit, bid fair to spend a short time in Fort Irvin. "A word to the wise," &c. Bob. Westbrook's stand, on Saturday night, reminded us of a first-class city market. It was crowded with customers purchasing the fresh vegetables that he had so tastefully dis— played. Bob. understands his business to a t. Allen Edwards, the too-much married man, who was confined in Fort Irvin to answer the charge of bigamy, was released from that in stitution one day last week, he having entered bail in the sum of $lOOO for his appearance at court. Our farmer friend, Mr. John Nightwine, in forms us that the late frosts destroyed his prospects for one of the largest fruit crops that he has ever gathered from his ochards.— Mr. Nightwine has some of the finest fruit in the country. Some men ifnitate the crab and crawl back wards without any trouble. Vide the Green backers who sw6re vengeance against the kid glove ticket. In the parlance of the b'hoys, they are like the "little joker," "now you see it and now you don't." Our former townsman, Dr. H. W. Buchanan, of St. Paul, Minn., dropped down unexpected ly among us on Monday evening. The Doctor lo . oks first rate and is highly delighted with his new home. Ile will leave us again on Monday or Tuesday next. Ourold time friendand former fellow citizen, W. A. Saxton, esq., of Washington, D. C., ar rived iu town on Thursday evening last. lle proposes spending a few weeks among us and recuperating his health by snuffing the pure breezes of his Juniata home. Welcome. It looks suspicious to sec a party of three or four persons driving along a back road, at twilight, on Sunday evening, with several buckets and other vessels crowding the bot tom of a spring wagon. We wouldn't pretend to say that the vessels contained berries. Capt. Johnston, of Altoona, and A. A. Stevens, of Tyrone, two disciples oflllackstone, got into an altercation, in the former place, on Monday last, during which Capt. Johnston was knocked down with a chair in the hands of his antagonist, and had his leg broken. We desire that every patron of the JOURNAL secure us an additional subscriber. Just ask your neighbor to send us two dollars for a year's subscription. In this way our sub scription list could be doubled, and it can be done with very little trouble. 'fry it, friends. There has been a flutter raised among Al toona's "fallen angels," by the blue coats of that city invading their homes and hauling them up before the mayor. A couple of them bearing the cognomens of "Tree Frog" and "Three-fingered Kate" have been sent to prison. During the prevalence of the heavy rain and wind storm which suddenly burst upon this place, on Saturday afternoon last, the hand some canvas awning in front of Port & Fried ley's meat bbop, on Fifth street, was blown down and the iron rods bent into all imaginable shapes. The Norristown Herald says that a Bob In gersoll sort of a Christian wants some one to explain why, when a thunder storm visits a town containing thirty beer saloons and five churches, the lightning will travel all around the saloons and strike a church. It is queer, isn't it 7 The creditors of Win. M. Lloyd met in Al toona last week, and selected J. W, Currey, of Altoona, Wm. M. Jones, of Ebensburg, and E. H. Gardner, of Hollidaysburg, to settle up his immense estate. This case has hung fire for a long time, but at last it looks as though the end would be reached. A number of individuals, in this place, who have entered the political arena this season for the first time, are very boisterous in their advocacy of the Greenback doctrine, and some of theni, who undertake to explain the finan cial situation, know no more about finances than "a hog does of salvation. When you come to Court don't neglect to call and pay us what you owe us, the amount of which you have already been advised of by the bill sent you some time ago. If you don't come yourself send the amount with your neighbor who is coming. Now, don't forget to attend to this important matter. The re-union of the teachers and scholars of the Oid Hook School, will be held at the Hook school house, in Franklin township, on Thursday, the 15th inst. This, we believe, will be the third gathering of the kind, and this one promises to exceed the two previous ones, both iu numbers and pleasures, 11'1 , en the n‘.nysiiaper borrower asks yon to !end him your JoyaNAL, just tell hitu that you can't afford to subscribe and pay for a parr lir his butiefit, onri - recommend hint to call nt toe otliee, pay twit dollars, and fur a whole year he will have the reading of the "hand somest and best-printed paper in the couutx." A half-grown boy, named Hatfield, was gobbled by the police, on Saturday night, and given quarters in Fort Irvin for jumping on passing trains. They hays been looking fur the youth for some time, but he always managed to elude them until Saturday night. Ile's what is called "a professional ride stealer." The Everett Press sees our item and goes one better, vs follows : The Huntingdon Journal is informed that some of our fisher men say that they have caught fish already broiled, out of the river, during one of the hot days of last week. As to broiling eggs, it has been a common occurrence fur the past month or two. We learn from the Cambria llerald, pub lished at Ebensburg, that a gentleman residing in the East ward of that town is the owner of a cat which gave birth to fourperfectly formed kittens, all of which, however, were joined together near the heads by a sort of ligament. They were drowned soon after their advent into this world. The scholars and teachers composing the German Reform Sabbath School of this place, indulged in a picnic on Saturday last, but the head• rain fall on the afternoon of that day very materially interfered with the pleasure of the party. Some of the participants, when they returned to town, presented the appear ance of "drowned rats " The "rat" printers of Philadelphia have runners in the towns along the line of the P. R. R., soliciting job work for them, much to the injury of the "country press." When we have the room to spare we will have some— thing to say about this business, and we will give the "country press" some information that will be of benefit to them. John W. Bear, better known as the "Buck eye Blacksmith," an old campaigner, and who La; made several speeches in this place and at other points in the county, in past years, was in town on Tuesday, and although he has reached the ripe old age of seventy-eight he proposes to take the stump for the Republican nominees in the impending contest. The Juniata Valley camp meeting will com mence on Tuesday next, and from what infor mation we have been able to obtain, we are inclined to think that in point of numbers it will exceed any of the previous meetings held on these grounds. We understand that all the best tents have been secured. As usual, lluntingdon will be largely represented. In Altoona, the other day, as a little ten year old girl was carrying dinner to her father, who was at work in the lower end of the city, she was assaulted by a drunken tramp, but fortunately her cries brought her father to her assistance, who proceeded to give the scoun drel a first-class beating. His presence no doubt saved his little daughter from a horrible fate. The house of I3enj. Morton, in Newton Hamilton, which was destroyed by fire on Monday a week ago, a notice of which ap peared in last week's JOURNAL, was fired by some children rummaging through the garret in quest of some empty bottles stored therein. They used matches to aid them in their search and succeeded in reducing the structure to ashes. A Mrs. Thomas, residing in Warriorsmark township, while walkine in a field, in company with her husband, one day last week, was bit ten in the foot by a snake. She noticed a sudden tinge of pain in Ler foot, but did not know that she had been bitten until her foot and leg began to swell. The proper remedies were applied and she speedily recovered from the effects of the poison. The residence of Mr. Barton Miller, in West Huntingdon was struck by lightning, during the prevalence of the storm on Saturday afternoon. The fluid tore several shingles off the roof, near the chimney, and coming in contact with one of the rafters set it on fire. The fire was soon extinguished, and the dam age to the building was very slight. The in mates escaped without even a shock. We see by a hats number of the Benton (Ill.) Standard, that our old—time friend, and editorial associate in the long ago, J. S. Barr, esq., has severed his connection with that paper. We don't know when lie ceased to furnish mental pabulum for the denizens of "Egypt," or in what business he is now en— gaged, but whatever it is we wish him success beyond his most sanguine expectations. The Coal-Trade Journal says that in Som erset, Pa., there is being developed a consid erable coal field, and the coal is liked very much where it is used. The completion of the Salisbury Road, which will be an accomplished fact within the month, opens wide this fertile basin to the coal trade, and the superior quality of the article, together with its favor able location for operating, will attract the attention of capitalists, without doubt. Some unannointed scoundrel stole a nine teen pound hani from the editor of the Cam bria Herald, one night last week, which he says he only purchased the day before, and paid for. We would like to know how a country editor could collect enough money to pay for a nineteen pound ham. Don't believe he had a ham, and if he had we don't believe it was paid for. Too thin, brother James, you can't make us believe that you are a "bloated bondholder." A little three-year old and only son of Mr' Wm. Otto, of Altoona, was strangled to death by the force of water from a hydrant at which the little fellow was drinking. Ile placed his mouth over the nozzle, and the force of the water caused his teeth to close so tightly upon it that he was unable to release himself. his mother hearing the noise, rushed to the assis• tance of her son, and in getting him away tore several teeth from his jaws. A physician was called at once, but the child was dead. When the old Portage railroad was aban doned a number of persons in Blair and Cam bria counties went to work and erected houses on the land, and now the Pennsylvania Rail road Company comes along, claims the land, and has issued hundreds of ejectments against as many people in those counties who are living upon the land claimed by it. It seems a hard case for those who have spent their money in building Auses and otherwise im proving this laud to be thus summarily ejected. Within the past three weeks we have seen this item in a score of our exchanges. We don't know whether it is true or not, and we publish it for what it is worth : "Three suits have been instituted against the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad Company in behalf of the United States, in the United States Circuit Court at Pittsburgh. One suit is for taxes due on undivided profits, another for the recovery of tax on the interest pf its bonds, and the third is for the tax on its gross receipts." On Tuesday afternoon last, while Rev. It. E. Wilson, pastor of the M. E. church in this place, and his two sons, were fishing in Rhom's mill dam, the youngest boy "Budd," fell out of the boat into water beyond his depth, and would have drowned, had not his older brother, Toni, jumped in after him, and supported him until Amos Cresswell came to their assistance with the boat.—Juniata Tribune. Rev. Wilson, who was at one time pastor of the M. E. church in this place, is well known to many of our citizens. Our friend, W. W. Greenland, esq., of Clarion, sou of our townsman, ex-sheritf Greenland, who arrived in town on Saturday evening to spend a few days with his parents and friends in this place, dropped around to see us on Monday morning last. Be is a can didate for Prothonotary on the Democratic ticket in that county, and as the Democrats sweep the field in Clarion his election is a foregone conclusion. We know of no Democrat we would sooner see elected to office than our friend Greenland. Last week some person sent us a copy of the Tyrone herald, containing a lengthy com munication pitching into Sabbath desecration in general, and camp meeting associations in particular. The writer is opposed to making Sunday the "big day" of these religious as semblages, and in the letter referred to holds their management responsible for many of the wrongs committed in the name of Christianity. The article came to us marked, but its great length prevents its publication in our columns even had we felt disposed to do so. Mr. John Hawn, one of the Hawn Brothers:, of Juniata township, and the one who was severely beaten by the tramps who robbed their-residence, a few weeks ago, died on Sun day morning last. We understand that the old gentleman had been indisposed for a long time previous to the attack upon him, but it is thought that the shock upon his nervous system, coupled with the beating he received on that occasion, hastened his death. We have been unable to ascertain his age, but we are safe in saying that he has outlived his al toted three score and ten. Peace to his ashes. That all the swindlers are not confined to the male persuasion is evident by the follow ing item clipped from the Cambria Freeman : Several weeks ago three ladies, bailing from Harrisburg, if we mistake not, visited this mmaged to reap a rich harvest of humaa hail., which they promisld to return by tl lust ot . ..inly last in the shape of ladies' switches, etc. flawing tilled even up to this late day to fulfil their part of the contract the presumption is violent that they were a trio of feminine swindlers, and that the hair which they accumulated, and which was quite valu able, will never again grace the heads of the rightful owners. All of which should serve to put our lady friends on their guard against such frauds in the future. These from the Osceola Reveille : In Huntingdon, flour is selling at $1.25 a sack, and still the people are howling about hard times. With potatoes at 50 cents, when we are paying $l.OO, they ought to thank God that it is as it is, and no worse.—lluu— tingdon didn't succeed well with her plate glass project, but we notice that an under• taker in that town has procured a plate— glass hearse. We admire the spirit manifested by our neighbors over there, in their deter mination to adhere to plate-glass to the very last moment. The county commissioners of Lancaster county have given notice that hereafter the county of Lancaster wili not pay any costs to magistrates, constables or police officers for arrests made under the act for the prevention of tresspassing upon railroad trains. The corn missioners of our county should call a special meeting and give similar notice. If the thing is permitted to go on, at the rate it has been doing for some weeks past, the treasury of our county will be bankrupt at the close of the year. We see no reason why the counties through which railroads pass should be enor mously taxed for the benefit of these corpora tions. As we said last week, the law is an im position on the tax-payers of the Common wealth. AN ITEM OF INTEREST.—The present, management of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway ("Pan Handle Route") is bringing the advantages of the country along its line to the attention of the public in many happy and attractive shapes. The Chartiers VsLey branch for instance, is rendered one of of the most desirable places in which to locate "out of town" by the facilities afforded for in coming and outgoing. This beautiful and cool valley has cheap lands, picturesque sites,. very reasonable prices and a wonderfully healthful location to invite those in search of real homes. The out-looker sees from the car window at almost every curve of the road new beauties and attractive spots, whereupon for very little cattily the foundation for a home could be secured. A new route from Pittsburgh to Wheeling opens a speedy through line, avoiding the old "circumbendibus." By a 25 mile run, via. Steubenville. a new section of country is opened up by way of Wellsburg, Short Creek and Glenn's Run to Wheeling, and in this re gion families will find it infinitely cheaper to live. It is not necessary to dwell upon the advantages in favor of an attractive home in the country within easy reach of the con veniences and luxuries of city life. To reach the Muskingharn Valley with all its splendid advantages this line is the direct and connecting route. The farmer who would find a new home on the Miami will take this road if he would see the most beautiful part of Ohio. The tourist who would seek out pleasant paths, secure comfort and ease in travel, and move westward and south by a direct route will take the Pan Handle. Hone has an eye to Texas or Kansas homesteads no other roads contends to compete with this in low rates, quick time and comfort combined with safety. Therefore, whether you would find a home near one of the great cities ; if you want to live on a line of railway which reaches the very heart of the' market; or if your destiny points to the great west, and you would reach it with speed and comfort be sure to procure a ticket over the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway. And if your journeying be one of simple pleasure, and you wish to itvGid the discomforts of branch roads, midnight transfers, and annoy ing delays, take this road, in the perfect as surance that it is a safe and economical route, embracing a variety of landscape and an ever varying list of attractions. By taking this route, you avoid the annoying omnibus trans fers, as all changes of cars are made in the five Union Depots, at Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Cincinnati, where tempting meals await the traveler. As its lines extend through to Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago, it affords unequalled facilities. Elegant sleeping and drawing room cars run from Pittsburgh to these points ; and from Columbus, to Chicago and New Orleans. The Road is excellently managed, and admirably constructed, aggre gating 1,309 miles, making a comprehensive and compact system for travelers .to the west and south-west, reaching either by direct or connecting lines every city and town of any magnitude between the lakes and the Ohio river, and as far beyond the Mississippi as American enterprise has pushed its way.

Agent, Columbus, Ohio. DEAZII OF A. J. SYPHER.—The many friends of A. J. Sypher, formerly book-keeper in Henry & Co.'s store, will be pained to hear of his death, which occurred at St. Paul, Mien., on Wednesday of last week. About twomonths ago Mr. Sypher left his family and friends in this place for White Bear Lake, Minn., think ing that the pure climate of that region would benefit his declining health. And in this res pe•A his fondest Lopes were being realized. He had gained several pounds in flesh, and his general health was greatly improved, and the prospects for his ultimate recovery were most flattering. As a means of recreation he was in the habit of going out on the lake for a row, and during an excursion of this kind, on one of the very hottest days of the season, he was overcome by the heat, from which he never recovered, and which ultimately ter minated in his death. Ile was removed to St. Paul, where our former townsmen, Dr. H. W. Buchanan and R. A. Orbison, esq., ministered to his wants during his last illness. His wife, who was spending her time with her parents, at Jersey Shore, was dispatched for, and stait ed at once, but was unable to reach St. Paul in time to see her husband alive, having arrived about half an hour after his death. Dr. H. W. Buchanan accompanied the remains to Jersey Shore. Mr. Sypher had been a resident of our town but a short time, but during that time lie made many friends, who mourn his early death with real sorrow. His wife has the sym pathy of the entire community. B. F. Isen berg and Hugh Lindsay, of our town, were in attendance at his funeral, which took place at Jersey Shore on Sunday afternoon, and is said to have been one of the largest funeral cor teges ever seen in that place. SINGULAR SNAKE STORY.—About two weeks ago, the Bedford Gazette published a very tough story in relation to a contest between a cat and a large snake. Our cats and snakes in this region, never come on terms of familiarity, and therefore we have nothing to offer in that line. But as au offset, we ay be allowed to rise and remark, that the sea - es in this strip of woods, never feel at home, unless they can, once in a while, have a civil war among themselves. A few days ago, a party out after blackberries, came across two big snakes—big for the kind—one a "garter" and the other a "house snake." These repre sentatives of an impudent, cold-blooded tribe, commenced skirmishing in a very lively man ner, but it soon became evident that neither could secure any material advantage over his enemy. At last "housie" attempted to steal away, and had almost disappeared under a log, when the "garter," taking advantage of the situation, and not being able to kill his antag onist, seized him by the tail and commenced swallowing as though intending to make a dinner on raw snake. But the wily house snake was not to be taken in just that way. Following the example of his arch enemy, he whizzed around like a whip lash, gobbled the striped devil's tail, and gave him to under stand that two snakes could work at the same game. Crushing, sucking, sliming and gorg ing, they went in on their muscle, and in less than fifteen minutes, each had swallowed his snake, so much so, at least, that nothing was visible but the stumps :of two heads, and when our informants, stricken with terror, left the scene, it was still "nip and tug" as to which bead would be the fjnal victor.—Osceola Ourt attentive correspondent, "Bob," writes us from Shirleysburg, under date Au gust sth : Lee Roy Felsb, the young man who was brought to the Alms House about two weeks ago from Huntingdon, having had his leg crushed by the ears, died on Sunday last. Doctors Miller and Baird amputated his leg about one hour before be died. Ills father came to see him and arrived just in time to see him die. Ile was aged about 20 years and had the appearance of being a fine young man. His father lived in Michigan, and started on Mon day morning, on Pacific Express, for home ta• king the remains of his son with him. The father and Lis family have the sympathy of the people here.

Montgomery, of Huntingdon, Dr. A. R. M'Carthy, of Mt. Union, G. M. Harvey, of Crom well, K. A. Lovell, of Huntingdon, and J. T. Foster, of Oneida.

Harris Richard son, of Lincoln, Abraham Weight, of Franklin, H. R. Shearer, of Carbon, Barton Green, of Oneida, and Win. Oburn, of Jackson, were appointed said committee. On motion, the convention adjourned until l o'clock P. If. AFTERNOON SESSION, The convention re-assembled at quarter past one o'clock, and on motion of M. L. hex, eeq., of Mapleton, was opened by prayer by Rev. W. W. Campbell, of Iluntingdon, who, in a brief, but well-timed and eloquent petition invoked God'e blessing on the assemblage and the work it was about to perform. After several calls for the report ofthe committee on contested seats, the committee, through their chairman, Harris Richardson, announced the fol lowing gentlemen as entitled to seats in the con vention : Birmingham, Geo. W. Owens, David Parker ; Coa.luiont, A. H. Ilickes, J. A. Hickes ; Hopewell, Geo. Berkstresser, 11. C. Huff; Juniata, Joseph Logan, Elmer Yocum. The committee on resolutions, through Mr. Lovell, reported the following, being the same adopted by the late Republican State Convention : The Republican party of Pennsylvania, adhe— ring to its historical record'and to its principles heretofore often affirmed, declares : FIRST. That it is uncompromisingly opposed to free trade, in whatever disguise presented; un changingly devoted to the principles of protection to home industry, and hereby avows its special and direct hostility to the tariff bill now pending in congress, the same being in the interest of importers and foreign manufacturers and in op position to American labor. SF:COND. That labor being the great source of national wealth, the prosperity of the nation must depend upon the extent to which labor is protect ed and employed; and that ourgovernment, being a government of the people, should endeavor to promote, by all proper means, the commercial and industrial interests of the nation, so that labor and capital may both be profitably employed. THIRD. That American commerce should be fostered and home enterprise developed by the national government, to the end that our manu facturing, mining, agricultural and industrial interest may flourish, our people find employment and the country be restored to permanent prosper ity. . . . . . . - Fot7arn. That the public lands belong to the people, and should be reserved exclusively for actual settlers, eo that the industrious roor may be encouraged and aided to enter upon and occupy them. FIFTH. That we are now, as ever, oppostd to the paymeni of claims from the national treasury to those lately engaged in or sympathizing with the rebellion. No conqueror should be forced to pay indemnity to the conquered, and the presen tation of bills demanding over three hundred millions of dollars, at the present session of a democratic house, is a warning to the country of the cost ana danger of retaining in power a party whose chief aim is to make reprisals on the tax payers for losses which the crime of treason brought upon the southern people. SIXTH. That we view with alarm the growing depression of many of the leading and trading interests of the state and country, resulting largely, it is believed, from unfair advantages and discriminating rates of freight and transportation privileges given by many of the transportation companies of the state and oountry to a favored few, to the prejudice of our general producing interest, and this convention earnestly recommends the enactment of such laws by the state and na tional legislatures as will correct this growing evil. SEVENTH. That the southern republicans, white and colored, have our earnest sympathy in the unequal contest to which they are subjected for civil liberty and the maintenance of their consti tutional privileges, and that in the interests of their guarranteed rights we demand from the general government for them an ;equal and fair ballot, and that equality before the law should be the boast of every government. . . EIGHTH. That - t 1; administration of Gov. Hart ranft meets the hearty endorsement and unquali fied approval of the party that elected him and continues to honor him. He has proved himself an able magistrate, a true patriot and a wise officer; azd his party tenders to him the praise due to personal uprightness, to political devotion and to official rectitude. On motion the resolutions were unanimously adopted. A resolntion presented by Valentine Schmittle, of Tell, and passed by the convention, fixes the time for holding delegate elections in the country districts at from 4 to 7 P. s. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the members of the county com mittee be selected by this convention, and the chairman of said committee be appointed by the candidates this day nominated. Resolved, That where districts are represented by but one delegate said delegate have the power to cast two votes or select his colleague. B. F. Isenberg, of the Second Ward of Hun tingdon, Presented a communication from 4. A. Brown, esq., asking the convention to adopt the "Crawford County System" in making nomina tions in the future. The communication was read by the Secretary, when, on motion, it was laid upon the table. A motion was made that the convention now proceed to nominate a ticket. K. Allen esq., in a neat, appropriate and eloquent cpeech, presented the name of our townsman, lion. Hora tio G. Fisher, for Congress, who was nominated by acclamation, with the privilege of selecting his own conferees.

On motion, the convention adjourned sine die. SPORTING NOTES - Crooked Creek's waters were very muddy on Sunday last, and were suggestive of good fishing for eels and catties. An effort was made to have a match between the rifle clubs of Clearfield and Osceola, but from present indications it is off. The late rains did not raise the water in the Juniata, but they made it just a little "milky," which will improve the fishing, as old anglers say it was too clear for successful bass-fish ing. Mrs. Samuel E. Henry, caught eight large bass, in the neighborhood of the lower dam, on Friday last. Mrs. H., who is proficient in the use of the rod and line, has caught quite a number of bass since the season opened. Some old fishermen inform us that the bass being caught at this season, are full of worm and nre unfit to eat. We don't know whether this is so or not, but it would be well enough to examine them carefully before eating them. A couple of Huntingdon sportsmen, one day last week, at the request of a gentleman resi ding a few miles from town, visited his farm and bagged twenty odd pigeons. These birds have accumulated so fast, and are so destruc tive to his young crops, that he finds it neces sary to kill them off. The gentlemen say that they enjoyed rare sport in shooting on the wing. The monarch of the trotting turf, Mr. John Splan's horse Rarus, on Saturday last, at Buf falo, N. Y., trotted a mile in the unprecedent ed time of 1:131, the fastest time in the world. The assembled thousands, who witnessed this feat, rent the air with deafening shouts and fairly lifted the handsome horse from the ground. A lady present presented Mr. Splan with a silver basket of rare flowers for having driven his horse the fastest mile ever made in this or any other country. TREAT FOR FAITHFUL EMPLOYES.— The Johnstown Tribune says that the Penn sylvania railroad company have tendered their old locomotive engineers, such as Andrew Purcell, James Westfall, Henry Cassidy, and a whole host whose names will suggest them selves to railroad men, and the wives of the same, a grand excursion to New York, Cape May, a trip up the Hudson, snd return by Watkin's Glen, Niagara Falls, etc.. all ex penses to be paid by the corporation. It is designed to organize the expedition about the middle of September, and of course the treat will be a rare one fur the faithful employees who have been true to the interests of the company through years. The old engineers will enjoy a week or two of recreation, and it is a grateful act on the part of the corporation to afford them this opportunity to get off from their arduous duties for a brief spell. ANOTHER TRAMP COMES TO GRIEF On Thursday of last week, as a trio of tramps were wending their way towards the setting sun, one of them, named Daniel McKierney, whilst walking on the railroad track, in the vicinity of No. 11 bridge, this side of Tyrone, was struck by the Johnstown Express and knocked clear off the tiack and hurled against some empty cars standing on the opposite track. It is a miracle that he was not cut into mince -meat, but as it was ho escaped with a broken shoulder and a severe gash in his head. He was brought to this place aboard the same train that struck him, and after having his wounds dressed by the company's physician, was shipped to the Blair county alms house on the mail train the same evening. His two companions escaped injury and continued their journey towards sun down. Adjourned Assignee's Sale of the John L. Isenberg Property. The undersigned, Assignee of John L.
