The Altoona Tribune says that the ugliest
roan at the Juniata valley camp meeting was
the editor of the Camp Daily. A rural man
knocked the journalistic man down under the
supposition that he was making faces at him.
The beauty of the ladies of Baltimore has

Miss Estella Myers, of Duncansville, Blair
county, has been engaged to take the place

Huntingdon quill-drivers had no representa
tion in the editorial excursion which left
Pittsburgh last week for the Mammoth Cave,
Ky. We were in possession of the necessary
pasteboards to take us there, but a press of
business prevented us from going.
If the professional loafers who congregate
on the street corners to discuss the financial
question—something they know no more about
than a hog does of theology—would go to
work they would not have the time to annoy
those who are trying to make a living by hon
est toil.
Nearly every town of any importance, in the
new penitentiary district, is making an effort
to have the institution located in its midst.
Huntingdon will be on hand at the proper
time, and the superior advantages that she
will present to the commission will not be
overlooked.
Senator Fisher holds the bowers.—llanting
don Journal. He had better look out that the
other fellow don't hold the ace, the king,
queen, ten and nine spots.—Altoona Tribune.
No danger of that ; the Senator always "shuf
fles" them properly and deals himself the
winning cards.
The conductors on the Pennsylvania railroad
have all been furnished new numbers to wear
on the lappel of the coat. These numbers
correspond with similar numbers on small
hand satchels ,which have taken the place of the
satchels formerly worn by train agents slung
over the shoulder.
The grand jury failed to visit the jail last
week to see a dozen or more persons huddled
together in one little room with no means of
ventilation. Our jail will soon have as much
terror to prisoners as Andersonville and Libby
had for Union soldiers during the war. The
Sheriff is powerless to improve its condition.
And now the Bellefonte Watchman has gone
into the donation business. It wants the citi
zens of Bellefonte to donate a site suitable for
the erection of the proposed new penitentiary
building. The State is not asking alms, even
if it is $lOO,OOO poorer on account of the
crookedness of a Democratic State Treasurer.
Huntingdon's whiskey is of the noisy kind,
and there is some g-nash-ing over the howls
it raises.--Altoona Tribune_ If you were
awakened from your slumbers by a howl that
would do credit to a Comanche brave we know
you would Dern soon fly into a Pur(e)y about
it, and we ain't a Pit-cairn who knows we were
cross.
We understand that there are several cases
of bilious fever in the north-eastern portion of
the town. There must be some cause for this
dftrease making its appearance in that section
while all other parts of the town are free from
it. The matter would be wsll worthy of in
vestigation, and perhaps some measure might
be adopted by which the disease could be
abated.
Last week, in speaking of the Mifflintown
papers, we wished the editor of the Sentinel
financial success, but from what the Altoona
Tribune says he has already had all the success
that is necessary in that direction. He is said
to be worth in the neighborhood of $lOO.OOO.
Where's Barnum ? A country newspaper
editor, worth $lOO,OOO, is certainly one of the
greatest curiosities of the age.
The extensive lumber yard of Zimmerman,
Bean & Co., at Garner's Station, about seven
miles distant from Tyrone, was entirely de
stroyed by fire on Wednesday of last week.—
About two and a half million feet of good
lumber were burned, entailing a loss of $25,-
000. There was an insurance of $lB,OOO in
different companies.
An act approved June 12, 1878, extends the
warrants of all tax collectors since, and in
cluding 1874, after one year from date of ap
proval. This will enable the collectors to
collect the amounts due them, if they will do
it. The act also authorizes them to collect
taxes trom persons who have removed from
their respective boroughs and townships.
A grand musical entertaiment will be given
in the Penn Street Hall, on Friday evening, of
this week, for the benefit of the Ladies' Tem
perance Union. The entertainment will be
under the direction of Dr. E. C. Stockton, who
will be assisted by sonic of the best musical
talent in this place. The object is a laudable
one, and should receive the encouragement of
every good citizen. The price of admission
has been fixed at 25c.
A correspondent writing us from Alexan
dria, under date of August 26th, says : "Rev.
R. Cunningham Patterson, a member of the
Junior Class, of Dickinson, preached a very
able and eloquent sermon last Sunday evening,
to a large audience, in the Alexandria M. E.
church. This young man is eminently fitted
for his calling, because he is not only a fine
writer but a very fascinating orator, and lie
bids fair for the highest position within the
gift of the church."
An old terrapin, or land turtle, Las turned
up again on the Fulbert Snyder farm adjoin
ing Tyrone. This time Mr. Samuel Brestler
found it in edge of woods, adjoining one of
the fields. "E. D. 1807," is carved on the
bottom of its shell. The letters are the initials
of Elisha Davis' name, who farmed the place
at that time. The same turtle was found in
1864 in what was then known as the "bushy
field," and it was also picked up last year
some where on the same farm.—Tyrone Herald.
Our sanctum was brightened on Wednesday
afternoon by the presence of a trio of gentle
men whose hands we were delighted to grasp.
They were Dern, of the Altoona Tribune, Bar
clay, of the Altoona Sun, and Fry, of the New
port News. They are members of the com
mittee appointed at the preliminary meeting
held at Tyrone, on Saturday last, to make ar
rangements for the contemplated printers'
picnic, and were in town for that purpose.—
As a matter of course they are all clever
gentlemen, whom it is a pleasure to meet.
The three gentlemen who were sent to Fort
Worth, Texas, to purchase land for the Ebens
burg colony, have been prospecting in that
vicinity, and are not favorably impressed, if we
are to judge from a letter written by one ofthem,
and noticed in last week's Cambria Freeman.
He says that "Forth Worth and points there
unto contiguous are parts and parcels of a
howling wilderness, and absolutely unfit for
the habitation of an average Christian. The
water is not good, the air smells of musk, and
snakes which can bite abound. Sheridan's
remark that if he owned hell and Texas, be
would rent Texas and live in bell, was cor
rect." What has our friend Africa to say
about this opinion of his future home ?
We overheard a couple of Greenbackers, the
other evening, discussing the feasibility of
holding a festival for the purpose of raising
money for campaign purposes. We don't be
lieve a festival would pan out well, but they
might get up an exhibition that would pay
them handsomely. If they were to get Speer,
Foust, Doyle,"Daddy Fleming,""Speer's Lieu
tenant," and a few of his lacqueys together,
and exhibit them under the name of the
"Happy Family," with an occasional seance

On Thursday of last week while Mrs. Kinch,
who resides with her husband, Mr. Thomas
Kinch, near S. McCamant SE Co.'s planing mill,
at Tyrone, says the Herald, was in the act of
drawing water from an open well by means of
a bucket attached to a rope a little grand
daughter, not yet three year old, accidentally
fell into the well, which is ten and a half feet
deep, and contained about two feet of water
at the time. After calling for assistance a
few times without receiving any answer the
old lady, who is in her sixty-first year, pro
ceeded to rescue the child with nothing but
the slightly projecting stones in the wall for
foot or hand holds ou her way in and out of
the well. How she managed to scale the wall
with the child in her arms is a mystery even
to herself, but she succeeded in bringing it to
terra firma. she thinks, in less than five
minutes after it fell. Singularly and very
fortunately the child was not hurt in the least.
It is supposed that it clung to the wall and
kept its head out of the water, thus preventing
stranguktion, until its grandmother reached
it.
PRINTERS' B EUNION.—THE NEWSPA
PER PICNIC TIIE 7111 OF SEPTEMBER AT
LLOYDSTILLE.—The preliminary meeting held
at the herald office in Tyrone on Saturday
was well attended and passed off successfully.
Mr. Barclay, of the Altoona Sun, called the
meeting to order and moved that Mr. Conrad
of the McVeytown Journal, be made President.
This was agreed to, and Mr. Crawford, of the
Huntingdon Monitor, was called to the secre
tary's desk.
Mr. Dern, of the Altoona Tribune, presented
a letter from Joseph Ramsey, superintendent
of the Bell's Gap railroad, extending the
courtesy of the road to the printers if they
decided to picnic at Lloydsville.
Some discussion took place as to whether
an excursion should take place or a picnic be
given, and finally, on motion of Mr. Fry, of
the Newport News, it was decided to hold a
picnic at Lloydsville.
Mr. Dern moved that the reunion take place
on Saturday, September 7, and it was agreed
to.
The secretary suggested that, as this ques
tion bad been decided, Mr. Ramsey's letter be
attended to, and on motion of Mr. Slep, of the
Mirror, the courtesy was accepted.
Mr. Crawford moved that committees on
music, transportation and arrangements be
appointed, but Mr. Dern amended by moving
that a committee of five to make all arrange
ments be aillbinted. It was done, and Mr.
Barclay was made chairman. The committee
is as follows : Mr. Dern. Altoona Tribune ;
Mr. Jones, Tyrone Ilerald ; Mr. Fry, Newport
News ; Mr. Willoughby, Huntingdon News ;
Mr. Barclay (chairman), Altoona Sun.
Mr. Slep then moved that an invitation be
extended to the officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad, which was agreed to, and the meet
ing adjourned.
The committee of arrangements will meet
at Huntingdon on Wednesday to perfect ar
rangements. The picnic is intended to include
the fraternity of Cambria, Blair, Somerset,
Huntingdon Bedford, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry,
Clearfield,
Huntingdon,
and Fulton, and as many
others as may please to join.
Ou the conclusion of the business of the
delegates to the preliminary meeting, the com
mittee on arrangements appointed by the
president convened and selected Mr. Dern as
treasurer and Mr. Willoughby as secretary.
On motion, the secretary was empowered to
communicate with the different bands includ
ed in the different counties expected to partic
ipate in the picnic, requesting them to state
terms upon which they will furnish music for
the occasion.—Altoona Tribune.
A NEWSPAPER MAN DROWNED.—On
Thursday afternoon of last week, John I Scull,
esq., business manager of the Herald Printing
Company, at Somerset, Pa., was drowned in
the Potomac river. He was the son of Col.
Ed. Scull, editor of the Somerset Herald, and
is the third member of that household that
has been called from earth within the last
three months, two grown up daughters having
died with diptheria not long since. The
Johnstown Tribune gives the following partic
ulars of the sad event : •
"John I. Scull, the victim, had gone from
Somerset with Charles Hurst and S. F. Pick
ing on ahip., expedition to the South
Branch of the Potomac, along the line of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, about eighteen
miles southeast of Cumberland, Maryland.
The party was subsequently joined by Mr.
Wardwell, of Baltimore. At the time of the
accident (Thursday afternoon) the party had
separated, Mr. Wardwell going off alone and
John Scull and Hurst fishing together. They
were wading down stream. Hurst was twenty
or thirty feet ahead of Scull, but much nearer
the shore. They were fishing at the head of
a riffle. where the current was very strong,
and Hurst, glancing up from his line, was
horrified to see that Mr. Scull had got into
deep water and the current was carrying him
down. Being encumbered with his wet
clothes, heavy fishing shoes, his fish bucket,
and about thirty-five pounds of fish in a.basket
firmly strapped to him, he was at‘the mercy of
the current, which carried him a few minutes
into water fifteen feet deep.
' 4 Hurst immediately swam toward the
drowning man, endeavoring to reach him his
fishing rod, but being himself loaded down
with tackle and implements, he was unable to
render any assistance, and also narrowly es
caped drowning, being only saved, probably,
by tearing off his coat and minnow bucket
while under the water.
-Hurst says that Scull came up but once,
and went down for the last time before he
could do anything for him. The body was
recovered without much trouble by people of
the neighborhood, after grappling twenty
minutes for it."
A BRILLIANT WEDDING.—The social
event of the season, in Tyrone society, was
the marriage, on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, of a native Iluntingdonian, liarry L.
Africa, to Miss Emma J. Study, one of Tyrone's
fair daughters. As the groom has many
friends in this place we copy the following
nutice of the wedding from the herald of last
week :
The spacious parlors of E. L. Study, Esq.,
this place, was the scene of a brilliant little
wedding on Tuesday afternoon last, at four
o'clock. The parties to the bymenial contract
were Mr. 11. L. Africa, late of the firm of
Study Brothers & Africa, and Miss Emma J.
Study, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
L. Study. Rev. E. H. Yocum, pastor of the
Tyrone M. E. Church, performed the ceremony.
Miss Julia Africa, of Huntingdon, sister of
the groom, occupied the position of brides
maid, and Mr. Samuel Middleton, of Bedford,
was groomsman. The guests consisted of
the immediate families of the happy couple
and a few special friends. Supper was served
a little later in the evening, and sampled by
the Herald people, all of whom return thanks
and attest to the superiority of the large cakes
which ornamented the tables. The pteseuts
of the bride were numerous, consisting prin
cipally of silver ware, some of which are very
fine. In addition to the many other gifts, shz
was the recipient, at the hand of her father,
of a purse containing several hundred dollars.
The bride and groom left on the fast line, the
same evening, for Red Oak, Montgomery
county, lowa, where they will locate perman
eutly, Mr. Africa having decided to engage in
the mercantile business at that place. A
number of their friends accompanied them as
far as Altoona. Full of energy, a young man
of more than ordinary intelligence, and well
schooled in business, our young friend Mr.
Africa will make his mark in the west, and
he has chosen for a life partner a most excel
lent lady who will make him a pleasant home
and affectionate wife. Our best wishes attend
the happy pair, to whom we extend the most
hearty congratulations.

CHURCH DEDICATION.—On Sunday last
the handsome Lutheran church, on the corner
of Sixth and Mifflin streets, in this borough,
recently erected, was dedicated with appropri
ate ceremonies. Rev. J. 11. Menges, of Phila
delphia, conducted the services, assisted by
the resident pastor, Rev. E. G. Hay. The
rain in the forenoon deterred many from
attending the morning services, but notwith
standing the inclement weather, a large num
ber of people were present who listened at
tentively to an able discourse by Rev. Menges,
from the text : lalessed are they that dwell
in thy house; they will be still praising thee."
During the morning, afternoon and evening
services the sum of $1125.65 was raised
towards liquidating the debt incurred in the
erection of the building. This is one of the
neatest churches in the town, and we are
indebted to the News for the following de
scription of the building :
"The church building is two stories high, and
presents a very attractive appearance externally.
The lower floor contains a lecture room, in the
rear of which are two class rooms, so constructed
with a folding partition that they can become part
of the main room when necessary. The main
audience room upon the second floor extends the
whole length and width of the building, the stair
way coming np on each side of a platform occupied
by the choir. The room is well lighted and ven
tilated, and contains five stained windows on each
side, three in the front, and two small windows in
the rear, at each side of the pulpit, which is sit
uated in a recess. The chandelier contains twelve
burners, and there are eight ride lights with two
burners each. The walls and ceiling are beauti
fully frescoed, a bright red carpet covers the floor,
and the whole appearance is cheerful and elegant.
The congregation is small in numbers, but their
indefatigable work in accomplishing the erection
of such a handsome edifice in these times is the
subject of general admiration."
WM. M. GILES, EsQ.--Dear Sir : I have been
suffering for the past four months with a
terrible attack of rheumatism in my back and
hips ; I could not move ; I thought I should
never get get well, as I had used most every
known remedy. By chance I got hold of one
of your circulars, and thought I would try it
—not having any faith in it, or anything else
—but what was my astonishment after one
application, I got instant relief, and now, after
using it one week, I am nearly well. I have
bought one dozen bottles of it, and never
intend to be without it. I have also used it
with great benefit on protruding piles. I shall
try to tell all of the people in this section
about your remedy, but most of them know of
it, as they used to come to see me when I
could not move in bed. You will please to
excuse this writing, as it is my first letter in
four months. I hope Ido not intrude on your
time, but, my dear sir, I owe you a debt of
gratitude which I can never repay. Wishing
you every success in the introduction of your
medicine, I am, dear sir, Yours sincerely,

twenty-five pounds.
Harvey M'Dowell, a Huntingdon juvenile,
caught fifteen bass in the "feeder level," two
miles below town, on Friday last.
John McCoy, of our town, is devoting a
portion of his time to fishing for snappers, and
so far has been quite successful. He is now
on an excursion of this kind to the bead-waters
of Raystown Ikauch.
Maj. Nightwine, a professional piscator
spent last week several miles down the Ju
niata on a fishing excursion, and we under
stand was quite successful in taking large
quantities of bass and eels.

We believe that a much better law for the
protection of parties when compelled to attend
court at a distance injtrlit be enacted. Wit
nesses and others should have positive assur

a subpoena is issued and whom the law would
hold strictly responsible, that their fees should

MORE NOTORIETY.—Our little neigh
boring town of Alexandria is suddenly grow
ing into popularity. Last week we published
the account of the finding of an extensive
cave (?) on the premises of Mr. Neff, and to
day we have another story to tell concerning
the finding of hidden treasure in the same
locality. We copy this from the Altoona Tri
bune:
On the banks of the "Blue Juniata," in
Huntingdon county, stands the quiet little
town of Alexandria. Years ago in and about
the village lived a wild and evil man, the
terror of the country, known in tradition as
"Lewis, the robber." Many a night traveler
lost his gold and many a wagoner on the old
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia pike was bereft
by force of his valuables.
Last week two gentlemen went out hunting
on Short mountain, a mile or two west of
town. They shot a squirrel, which, wounded,
ran into the trunk of a large oak. What was
their surprise when grasping into the hollow
trunk for their game to discover an old Dutch
oven full of Spanish doubloons, Mexican dol
lars, English sovereigns and other coins, all
dated previous to the year 1820. Several
packages of paper were found which crumbled
to dust as soon as touched. Their glittering
wealth, which they divided between them,
amounted to several thousand dollars. It is
supposed that all this money was deposited in
the tree by "Lewis, the robber."

LITERARY NOTES.-
The September number of Godey's Lady's Bonk
is to hand filled with matter calculated to please
the fair sex. The colored fashion plate is very
handsome, and cannot fail to tickle the fancy of
all lovers of the beautiful. Price $3 00 per an
num ;30 cents per copy. For sale at the JOURNAL
Store.
Peterson's fashion magazine for September
oomes to us fresh and sparkling, well filled with
excellent reading matter, besides being highly
embellished with colored fashion plates. The
patterns in this number are well worth the sub
scription price. Two dollars per year ; single
copy 20 cents. Fur sale at the JOURNAL Store.
S c ribner, for September, is complete in every
department, and is one of the hest magazines in
the country. The contents of the September num
ber are so numerous and varied that we find it
impossible to spare the room necessary to notice
them as their merits demand. Suffice it to say
that its contents are unsurpassed by any similar
publication on the continent. Four dollars a
year; 35 cents per copy. For sale at the JOURNAL
Store.

The September Number of "Peterson's Maga
zine" is on our table, ahead of all others, as usual.
In addition to a beautiful steel engraving "Cross
ing the Brook " and a superb, double-size, color
ed, steel fashion plate, there are four colored
patterns, two for applique and two for tidies in
darned net. Though this is a magazine of fashion
and art primarily, it is also one of literature; and
no lady's book at all approaches it in its powerful
stories and novelties. In the present number, we
have among other articles, "The Mystery;of Monk's
Hollow." by a new contributor, one of the most
powerful stories we have read for years. In addi
tion "Peterson" boasts such contributors as Mrs.
Ann S. Stephens, Frank Lee Benedict, Mrs. R.
Harding Davis, Marietta Holley, the author of
"JosiallAllen's Wife," etc., etc. Then there is a
Supplement, with full-size diagram, containing a
pattern for a child's dress, which is alone worth
the price of the number. The terms of this, the
cheapest and best of the lady's books, are but two
dollars a year, with rery great reductions to clubs.
Certainly every family ought to take "Peterson."
Specimens sent gratis to those wishing to get up
clubs. Address Cuss. J. PeTERSON, 306 Chestnut
St., Philadelphia, Pa. For sale at the JOURNAL
Store.
The September number of the Eclectic Mrgazine
opens with one of the best studies of American
politics that has ever appeared in an English
periodical. It is entitled "The Life and Times of
James Madison," but it covers a much wid-r field
than its title would seem to imply, and is, in fact
a comprehensive and philosophic survey of the
eventful twenty-five years which followed the
close of the Revolutionary War and shaped the
political destinies of the country. Other articles,
each admirable of its kind, are: "The Mystery of
Edwin Drood," by Thomas Foster, an attempt to
discover by analysis o f the finished portion of the
story what was the plot or "mystery" of Dickens'
incomplete work ; "Lady Caroline Lamb," a vivid
biographical sketch, by S R. Townshend-Mayer
"Freemansonry," by Edward F. Willoughby;
"Lower Life in the Tropics;" "Johnson without.
Boswell," by William Cyples ; "What the Sun is
Made of," by J. Norman Lockyer ; "Stray
Thoughts on Scenery ;" "Posting and Post-Offices
in China;" the third part of "Earth's Place in
Nature," by J. Norman Lockyer; and "Mr. Bryant
and American Peotry." A fine steel engraved
portrait of Henry M. Stanley the African explorer,
is accompanied by a brief sketch of his varied and
curious career and an article by Mr. Keith John
ston summarizing the results of his last journeys
"Through the Dark Continent ;" and three poems
of high quality, an installment of Mr. Wm. Black's
"Macleod of Dare," and the customary well-filled
Editorial Departments complete a number of great
variety and interest.
Sr. NICHOLAS FOR SF.PTEMBER.—The current
number of St. Nicholas is pervaded with the spirit
of the season, and the delights and doings of Sep
tember days aro well represented in its pages.
Near the beginning is an interesting short article
on "Mackerel-fishing," with a fine picture showing
a fleet of mackerel-boats: "My St. George" is a
strong exciting story of the sea, admirably illus
trated by Alfred Kappee; and we catch a pleasant
glimpse of the beach in Walter Satterlee's picture
"By the Sad Sea Waves." There is, also, a good
story by Emily 11. Leland, entitled, "low Lily
toes was Caught in a Shower," with a capital pic
ture by Jessie Curtis; and a series of very funny
cuts, called "How He Caught Him," representing
a queer fisherman's difficulties with his "catch."
Other good out-door pictures are scattered through
the number, and the installment of Miss A lcott's
serial, "Under the Lilacs," contains a large and
beautiful brook-scone by Thomas Moran.
Several well-known wri:ers aid in furnishing
the oilier contents. The number opens with an
exquisite little poem by Celia Thaxter, entitled
"Fern Seed" ; Susan:Coolidge has an excellent
story, "The Fox and the Turkeys" illustrated with
a picture from Gustave Dore; Thomas Dunn
English contribute a long fairy-tale, with two
striking pictures by E. B. Bensell ; and C. P.
Cranch, Samuel W. Duffield, and Mary E. Bradley.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR—From J. A. Tynes,
A Well Known Citizen of Wilson N. C.—My wife

hair stopped falling out and is growing beautifully.
