The siaging of the "Moody and Sankey

saw. There was about as much music in it.

in the State Senate.

address the citizens of this place before the
close of the campaign.

of as highly creditable.
Our friend and fellow citizen, Joseph Wat
son, esq., returned home on Thursday evening
of last week from his trip to "Merrie England,"
the scene of his childhood's home, looking as

trust the scoundrel may be caught.

This paragraph was evidently put in circula

it a sufficient answer to a draft from his wife
for some new headgear.—Reading Times.
We never knew, until Saturday morning,
that there were in the neighborhood of a hun
dred persons who claim to be connected, in
some way, with the printing business in Hun
tingdon ; but about that number boarded the
excursion train for the printers' picnic on that
morning.
S. R. Mason, who was advertised to display
his diamonds and exhibit his demagogueism
before an Altoona audience, one night last
week, failed to put in an appearance, and that
people thereby escaped a two hours' talk from
the corporation lawyer and the enemy of the
laboring man.
Geo. W. Cornelius. esq., of Shirleysburg,
dropped in to see us on Wednesday morning,
when on his way to the upper end of the
county, with a full load of cloths, cassimers,
and other homemade woolen goods. Tke

those of good quality.

dren under twelve years of age now in the

town, be removed, and directing the superin
tendent to refuse to employ any such in the
future.
The tooth paste man drew a larger crowd
on Monday night than the dealers in green
back song-books, much to the annoyance of an
ardent Greenbacker, who growled like a bear
with a sore head because Dr. Sanderson had
been licensed to tell of t he virtues of his paste.
at the same time that these book venders held
forth without a license.
We understand that one of the teachers em
ployed in the public schools is about going
into the school book business. We will have
more to say on this subject at a future time,
but we will say now that if he attends to the
business for which be is paid a handsome
salary he will not have the time to deal out
books at a small percentage.
We stated in a recent issue that the reunion
of the Penna. Reserves would not be held in
Bellefonte, as proposed. on account of the
citizens of that town failing to raise sufficient
funds to defray expenses. We were in error
when we so stated, for that people came duty - a
handsomely, and the gallant Reserves will as
semble there on the 17th inst.
We learn, from posters, that the colored
folks of this place, will hold a camp meeting
in M'Cahan's Grove, commencing on the 14th
inst., and ending.on the 23d. In our opinion
the propriety of such meeting is very ques
tionable, and unh!ss this one proves an excep
tion to similar gatherings held in this vicinity,
the harm done will far outweigh the good.
A couple of ladies narrowly escaped a serious
accident, in the neighborhood of the bridge
which crosses the canal below this place, on
Monday afternoon last. Whilst driving along
their horse took fright at a passing boat, and
had it not been for the timely assistance of a
couple of boatmen, who happened to be near,
the buggy would have been precipitated over
the high embankment, and serious injury
would have resulted.
Our usually even-tempered neighbor of the
Lewistown Gazette appears to be a little riled
because we copied an item from the Altoona
Tribune, of a week or so ago, which stated
that the editor of the Camp Daily was the
ugliest man at camp. At the time we copied
the item we supposed it was a joke, but since
that editor has grown cross over it we are in
clined to think that there is "more truth than
poetry" in the Tribune's assertion.
Jno. M. Oaks, esq., a well known citizen of
this place and county, died at his residence, in
West Huntingdon, on Friday evening last,
aged 49 years and 2 days. For a number of
years he was afflicted with pulmonary disease,
which unfitted him for active business, and
for over a year confined him to his room. He
was a gentleman of large acquaintance, and
his death, though long expected, will be re
gretted by his numerous friends and relatives.
In last week's issue of the JOURNAL WC
stated that it had been many years since we
had the pleasure of grasping the hand of our
old-time friend, Hon. J. Penn Jones, formerly
of Hollidaysburg, but since then we have ex
perienced that pleasure, for we had a brief
call from that gentleman on Thursday, just as
we were sending our forms to the press room.
Time has dealt gently with the Judge, and
barring the "silver threads among the golden"
he looks almost as young as he did a score or
more of years ago.
During the last sitting of the Allegheny
Synod, in this place, on Tuesday afternoon, a
rooster marched up in front of the church and
crowed so long and lustily that be bad to be
driven away, as his shrill notes disturbed the
meeting. Now the question is, what took
that rooster to that particular locality to do
his crowing? Some people may think that be
did it because the large number of preachers
who had been in town for a week past were
about to leave, and that the prospect for his
head being saved was most flattering ; and
this may have been the reason, who knows ?
The stay law passed to enable debtors to
bridge over the bard times, and approved
March 23d, 1877, will expire, by limitation, on
the 23d inst. Like all similar laws passed to
meet special and exceptional cases, this was
an utter failure. Very few creditors at
tempted to take advantage of its provisions
after the first two or three months, and those
that did found that the relief was more imag
inary than real. The main feature was that
neither real nor personal property could be
sold on execution unless it brought two-thirds
of the appraised value. provdided the interest
was paid and certain other requirements com
plied with.
Our Paper, published at Three Springs, this
county, says : "Our townsman, Dr. Stever,
had a valuable mare stolen from his stable,
in this place, on last Tuesday night. The thief
also took the Doctor's saddle, bridle and halter.
The person supposed to be the thief was seen
lurking around here for some time. It is be
lieved by many of our citizens that our county
is cursed with an organized company of
thieves, and that they hare their accomplices
extending through our border counties to the
Maryland and Virginia lines. This is notice
able from the fact that nearly every horse stolen
in this section of the state is traced up as
having taken the same route."
The Millersburg Herald, of the Gth inst.,
says : "Last Saturday was the last day of the
week, the last day of August, the last day of
summer, and the last day of the Bankrupt
Law. The last item was the most important
to that portion of the population who are last
in paying their debts, but first in the hearts
of their creditors ; first to assume obligations,
but last in fulfilling, first on the rolls of
church membership, and first to connect them
selves with benevolent organizations ; but last
to become examples of morality, and last to
extend a helping hand to a brother in distress.
However, "the first shall be last, and the last
shall be first."
The Street Commissioner was ordered by
Councils to repair the upper portion of Fifth
street, and he has now a number of men at
work there, bet it is simply it waste of money.
No oniount of filling and ditching will prevent
the trouble in that locality, as the great vol
ume of water which rusins off the hill cannot
he prevented from overflowing the Ftrt..;ets and
carrying tons ofgravel to the sidewalks a stputre
or two down that thoroughfare, every time
there is a heavy rain. If the money that has
already been expended this summer in remov
ing the dirt from the gutters and off the side
walks, and that which is being expended at
the present time, were used in extending the
sewer there would some benefit result from it,
but it is simply wasteful to use it as it is being
used. There is no other remedy fur the trou
ble there but to extend the sewer and the
sooner this is done the better it will be for
those persons whose cellars are filled with
water on the occasion of every heavy rain fall
and the profits of the tax-payers. We fear
the Council has adopted the "penny wise and
pound foolish" idea in the matter.
A STREET CONCERT BY A PAIR OF
ITINERANT BOOK VENDERS.—For several days
previous to Monday two or three Greenbackers
in this place, who seem to bare nothing to do
but to stand about the streets and annoy peo
ple by their insane ravings about "greenbacks,
five-twenty bonds, absolute money," and other
stereotyped phrases which they have learned
from Brick Pomeroy's paper, and other sheets
of that kind, told every person they came
across to "wait till Monday night and they
would hear "Moody and Sankey, the Green
: back Evangelists.' " Well, as a matter of
course, everybody waited, and on Monday
afternoon a half-dozen Greenbackers could be
seen flitting hither and thither, making ar
rangements for the show. About 3 o'clock in
the afternoon a couple of the faithful—looking
as wise as toads under a harrow—passed down
Fifth street with a parlor organ loaded upon
a wheelbarrow. Between six and seven o'clock
the "canvass men, - as they are called in
circus parlance, began to gather boxes upon
which to build a platform, and after visiting
all the stores in the neighborhood they suc
ceeded in borrowing enough for their purpose,
and in a little while they had a small platform
erected, at the corner of Fifth and Penn streets,
upon which they placed the organ spoken of
above. Everything was now ready to begin
the performance, but the audience was want
ing, it having been drawn to the stand of Dr.
Sanderson, the tooth paste man, who was
holding forth a little further east on Penn
street. Finally, Mr. North, the man who de
livered the Greenback party, bag and baggage,
o' - er to his brother-in law, R. Milton Speer,
mounted the platform and announced that the
show would now open, when the "Evangelists"
—humbugs would be a better name—struck
up a greenback song to a worn-out tune, and
for the space of half au hour they howled and
screeched, and thumped the organ until every
person was growing nervous at the horrid
noise they made. To the great delight of all
present the organ was closed and order re
stored, and the crowd, which had been at
tracted by the screams of the "sweet singers,"
again broke fur Dr. Sanderson's slight of band
performance.
Perhaps about fifty persons, men, women
and children, remained to see what was next
on the programme. One of the "Evangelists"
arose and commenced to talk, but as he had
wasted his voice in his attempt to sing it was
now so weak that he could not be heard dis
tinctly, and it would be folly to attempt to
give even a brief suyopsis of his remarks.—
They talked and sang, alternately, until half
past ten, when they made known their busi
ness, which was the sale of a cheap edition of
very cheap greenback songs. They are sharper
than the usual street venders, for by pretend
ing to be enlisted in the cause of greenback
ism they have their coming advertised in ad
vance, their organ borrowed, their platform
erected, and everything in readiness fur them.
It was the most ridiculous affair that has taken
place in our town for a decade, and those
persons who took so much stock in the "Evan
gelists" feel like crawling into a hole and
pulling the hole in after them.
TUE TRADE DOLLAR.—As both of the
banks in this place will not receive the trade
dollar on deposit for more than ninety cents,
and the business men will not allow more
than that sum for it when offered at their
counters, a good deal of interest is manifested
to know the cause of this step. The cause
is plain to every one who is acquainted • Tith
the monetary laws, but for the benefit of
those who are not informed on this subject,
we cannot do better than publish the reason,
clearly and briefly, given by Secretary Sher
man iu his Toledo .speech. In the course of
his speech he read a letter from a corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in which
the following questions were asked about the
trade dollar :
First. What is the matter with the trade dol
lar? I expect you to say it is not a legal tender,
nor is it for ninety cents.
Second. The Government received dollar for
dollar when she put the trade dollar out.
Third. Did the person, on receivin; the trade
dollar from the Government, do so with the under
standing that he had to take it to China to spend
it ? If anybody is to blame, who is it ?
lie said that the trade dollar was not a
legal tender, but it is worth ninety cents as
bullion. The standard dollar is a legal tender,
and, therefore, worth par. That is the differ
ence. To the second question he answered
that the Government did not receive dollar
for dollar for the trade dollar, but received
one and one-half cents for coining each dollar
for private bullion owners. That was all. It
was the miller that ground the grist for a
small percentage. To the third• question he
replied that the bullion owner did receive the
trade dollar for exportation to China, a device
made to give him a market for his bullion,
and upon the fall of silver it was perverted
by him as a means of cheating our own people.
DISINFECTING FOUL PLACES.—ID view
of the fact that fevers of various characters
are stalking abroad and removing from our
midst the noblest and fairest, it behooves us
to use due precaution in order to prevent, as
far as possible, the further spread of these
dreaded diseases. Thorough disinfecting of
the foul places around dwellings is one of the
best preventatives of all kinds of diseases, but
in order to do this one must know what are
the best remedies. The following from an
exchange is at least worth trying : "The
article commonly used to disinfect foul places
is chloride of lime, but in reality it is not of
much value. It may, and generally does
remove bad smells, but the cause still remains
as the chloride simply destroys the gaseous
emanations. The much advertised disinfect—
ants are usually catch-penny nostrums, and
unworthy of notice. One of the very best
known disinfectants is old fashioned 'cop
peras,' or sulphate of iron, which can be had
very cheap. A barrel of copperas would
weigh probably 300 pounds, and can be
purchased at wholesale price for a cent and a
half per pound. And every family ought,
especially in warm weather, to have a supply
of it on hand. A couple of handfuls of cop
peras thrown into a bucket of water will soon
dissolve, and it can then be used freely, and
it is a valuable disinfectant. The best plan
is to fill a half barrel or keg with water and
suspend within it a moderate sized basket full
of copperas. In this way it dissolves more
rapidly than when thrown to the bottom of
the wooden vessel, and thus a supply is always
at hand ready for use."
REPUBLICAN MEETING.—Quite an en
thusiastic meeting of the Republicans of this
town and vicinity, was held in the Court
House, on Tuesday evening last. The meet
ing was addressed by that old war horse of
Republicanism, J. W. Baer, of Philadelphia,
better known as the "Buckeye Blacksmith,"
who entertained the large and attentive audi
ence for some two hours on the political issues
of the day. The Buckeye is thoroughly posted
in all the questions entering into the present
campaign, having made it a life long study,
and has at his finger ends all the statistics to
verify his assertions. He is in fact a ' , effect
walking political encyclopedia, and is entirely
at home on the stump. His remarks were
plain, practical, and to the point, and were
addressed equally to all classes and parties.
They were listened to with respectful atten
tion by Republicans, Democrats, and Green
backers alike, and were evidently not without
their effect. The questions of finance, taxes,
revenue, and the present condition of the
country so absorbing in their interest at the
present time, were taken up and discussed in
a manner calculated to reach the understand
ing of every one, and with logic that was un
answerable, while his disclosure of facts in
his possession revealing the deep laid plan
and revolutionary schemes of Southern dem
agogues and rebels to obtain possession of the
Government, were sufficient to startle and
alarm every candid thinking man.
The address, if reported, would make a
first-class campaign document, and would un
doubtedly be productive of much good.

-THE PRINTERS Pre.Nic —A DAY ON
Tall MOUNTAIN TOP.—The pic-nic of the sea
son, composed of the printers of the Juniata
Valley, with their families, friends and swfatt
hearts, came off at Lloydsville. in Cambria
county, 1,259 feet above the level of the track
of the Pennsylvania railroad, on Saturday
last. About one hundred persons from this
place, to whom tickets had been furnished,
hoarded the excursion train at half-past seven
on the morning of that day and joined the
remainder of the party at Bellwood. As our
business prevented us from being present we
are compelled to make up our report of the
proceedings, doings, &c., of the happy party
from the reports of those who had the pleas
ures of lacing there. At Bellwood the party,
some six hundred strong, disembarked from
the cars of the Central to take passage over
the Bell's Gap road, and the Altoona Mirror
says that although quite a number of extra
cars were attached to the train there was not
seating capacity for all, and in consequence a
considerable number were compelled to wait
at the station for the second train. Both the
engines of this road—the Bell's Gap—were
attached to the train and they made good
time until they reached the trestle which
crosses the chasm this side of I'oict Lookout.
Here the engines stopped, the long train ex
tending over each end of the trestle work,
which is built on a curve. For those in front
of the engines the train, loaded a ith its
burden of youth, beauty and happiness decked
out in brightest colors, was quite an enjoyable
sight. It was not quite so pleasant to some
of the timid who were embarked in the ears
which stood over the chasm. The engines
backed down the grade but were again unsuc
cessful. These tactics were vainly repeated
twice more, when the train was cut and the
rear portion allowed to drop down to the
siding. The first part was quickly taken to
the summit of the mountain and the excur
sionists speedily disembarked. The engines
returning brought up those left behind and
those cut off when half way. The whole
party was reunited shortly after twelve o'clock
and dinner was hurried through with, to make
way for the pleasures of a day in the woods.
The grounds under the management of Messrs.
Ramsey have been considerably improved and
a large space cleared since our last visit to
this delightful resort. The afternoon was
very pleasantly "put in" in many different
ways. 'Those whom the dance invited tripped
with hurrying feet to intoxicating strains ;
those inclined to a milder form of dissipation
wileded the mallet over the striped balls ;
some adventurous souls solved the mystery of
"down in a coal mine." while the spreading
branches of old oaks and hemlocks cast invi
ting shade over moss-grown retreats which
were occupied by the sentimentally inclined.
"Spoons" were numerous. There was rest or
recreation for all, and none, barring inevitable
sickness, had reason not to enjoy themselves.
About 4:30 o'clock a meeting was called in
the pavillion, which was cleared for the
purpose. Col. John M. Bowman, late of the
Juniata Tribune, was elected chairman. L. D.
Woodruff, Johnstown Democrat and John M.
Furey, Altoona Tribune, were elected secre
taries. A committee on resolutions was
appointed and while they were consulting
over what they should offer, W. H. Schwartz,
of the Hollidaysburg Standard, was introduced
and addressed the fraternity for a few minutes.
On his "subsidence" enthusiastic cries of
"Dern," "Dern," "Dern," were heard but
Dern appeared not. The committee then
reported as follows :
WHEREAS, The publishers, editors and printers
of the Juniata Valley, composed of the counties
of Blair, Bedford, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield,
Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin, Perry and Somerset,
have this day met together and participated in a
grand picnic, we deem it proper to give due
expression to the gratitude we feel for the many
kindnesses bestowed upon us ; therefore be it
Resolved, That our thanks are in an eminent
degree due to the Pennsylvania railroad company
for courtesies in the way of free transportation
and the furnishing of special accommodations to
and from our homes for ourselves and families,
and also to the Huntingdon and Broad Top Rail
road Company for freo transportation over the
line of their road.
Resolved, That our thanks in the same manner
and to the same extent are due to the Boll's (lap
Railroad Company for like courtesies extended
in conveying our party from Bell's Mills to Lloyds
ville without charge, as well as for the free use of
their beautiful pic-nic grounds at Lloydsville.
Resolved, That to those Pennsylvania railroad
officials who gave personal attention to perfecting
the arrangements for our comfort and enjoyment,
and to Joseph Ramsey, jr., superintendent, and
N. P. Ramsey, assistant superintendent, of the
Bell's flap railroad, for their personal care and
kindness toward the excursionists, our sincerest
thanks are due and are hereby extended.
Resolved, That to W. P. Crawford, of the Hun
tingdon limiter, and Frank Willoughby, of the
Huntingdon Semi- Weekly News, belongs the credit
of having originated the idea of holding a grand
union pic-nio •tithe publishers, editors and printers
of the Juniata Valley, the result of which has
proved so agreeable and so delightful to all con
cerned
Resolved, That to the committee of arrange
ments, who have so satisfactorily and so pleasant
ly performed the duties devoiving upon them on
this interesting occasion, we hereby impart our
blessing and benediction.
Resolved, That it is the sentiment of this com
mittee that the reunion of the craft, so auspiciously
inaugurated, should be but the forerunner of

The resolutions were adopted unanimously.
It was then decided that a committee of
one from each county be appointed by the
chair to perfect a permanent organization.
The chairman said he would announce the
committee at an early day through the news
papers. After a few moments more of chin
music the meeting adjourned to allow the
dancers to return to the platform.
About 5:30 the train for the return trip
drew up at the platform and the whole party
was soon on board. About a dozen who
secured seats on the open truck which was
pushed ahead by the engine to the summit
enjoyed a most exhilarating ride. On arri
ving at the summit the car was cut loose and
immediately shot ahead of the engine at a
tremendous pace. Of this ride we have
already written in these columns ; suffice it to
say that, including about three minutes
stoppage, the distance of eight and a half
miles was traversed in twenty minutes, averag
ing a mile in two minutes. This is extraor
dinary time on a road so sinuous as the Bell's
Gap, but it has been beaten over two minutes.
The train wound its slow length along into
Bell's Mills about twenty-five minutes later
mill the happy excursionists boarded the
Atlantic Axpress east and Mail train west.
From the Altoona Tribune's report we copy
the following
INCIDENTAL NOTES.
William Burns, employed on a Perry county
paper, was taken with a spasm just previous
to crossing the high trestle. He soon recov
ered.
The little son of T. P. Rynder, of the Sun,
was struck by a swing and received a painful
cut between the eyes. A gentleman who threw
himself between the child and the swing
probably saved the little one's life. Dr. Buck
dressed the wound and the lad was able to
run around soon after.
Mrs. Bowman, wife of John Bowman, of the
Juniata Tribune, was struck down with heart
disease and lay sick on the dancing platform
for some time. Dr. Buck attended her, and
she was afterward removed to the residence
of her sister near Lloydsville, where she will
remain fully recovered.
John Tomlinson and Mr. Speedy were the
heavy weights, and it was probably owing to
this that the train "stalled" on the trestle.
Mr. Tomlinson narrowly escaped an accident
afterward.
A couple of Hollidaysburg young ladies
killed a snake three feet long. and they par
ticularly desired their bravery should be re
corded in the Tribune. Erie Jacobs and Maria
West were the iron-nerved girls.
McPike is a noted punster. One of the
party spoke of the mountain knobs, and it
drew from Mac the remark that it was a very
"nubby" view.
William M. Paul lost a pocket-book full of
"dollars" on the grounds, and Miss Couts, of
Huntingdon, was the good little girl who
found and returned it to him. Mr. Paul's
name was inside. He takes this method of
returning his thanks.
A man crossing one of the croquet grounds
caught his foot in a wicket and fell down.
"ll—n that wicket I" said he, which was
scarcely uttered when McPike, of the Cambria
Freeman, who was standing near, quietly re
marked, "No ; that would be wicket."
The Altoona City Band was, as usual, the
cynosure of all eyes when they "tooted."
Colonel Halfpenny says it was the "best
crowd that ever went to Lloydsville.

The Huntingdon JOURNAL says : The law pused
last winter,relating to stealing passage on railroad
cars, is nti imposilon On the taxpayers of the
State. The law compels the fining and iaipri,on
hog of every perecn eomvietad of tue offense, and
the result is that every county iu which the offense
is committed will be caddied with jail fees and
other coats, for in ninety-nine eases in every hun
dred the guilty parties are penniless tramps, who
are unable to pay, and who don't care a continen
tal how often they are arrested. The law is an
outrage.
We - cannot agree with the above views because
they very itnproperly mak, a distinction against
one species of property and against the rights of
a certain class, when in justice all men a,re entitled
to equal protection under the laws. There is no
reason why a railroad corporation should not be
as fully protected under the law as any other cor
poration. We hwe a special law against tramps,
but it is almost a dead letter becausa the ordeers
of the law du not enforce it. If, then, the railroad
companies enforce the law against depredators
upon their property, it is perfectly right that the
counties the roads pass through should pay the
costs, since the railroad companies only do what
the people themselves fail to do, namely, to arrest
and lock up or put to work every professional
tramp that comes the way. If the coon ies wouid
do this, as they ought to do, there would be no
tramps about for the railroad companies to send
to jail at the cost of the counties. It were
perhaps better if the law compelled every railroad
company to arrest the tramps along their lines
and compel them understrict guard to break stone
for ballast from one to five months every time thi y
are caught.—Selinegroee Times.
Upon reflection, we are inclined to think
that our contemporary takes the right view of
this question. If officers were to rigidly en
force the law against professional tramps there
would be very few of them found in this State.
In addition to the law now in force, one should
be passed next winter giving railroad corpo
rations the power to arrest every tramp found
stealing a ride upon their trains, and in lieu
of a fine and imprisonment compel them, as
the editor of the Times suggests, to work upon
the track from ten days to six months, as the
case may be.
We have a borough ordinance, we believe,
requiring the arrest of tramps found within
the borough limits, but it is, like the State
law, a dead letter, and these nuisances are per
mitted to roam our streets at will. During
the summer the borough officers should con
tract for the delivery of large quantities of
limestone—which would cost but a trifle—on
some vacant lot within the borough, and ev
ery tramp who is found begging from door to
door should he put to work at breaking stone,
for at least twenty-four hours. If this were
done we would have fewer tramps, or if they
still persisted in visiting us, we could in this
way secure sufficient material to macadamize
every street of the town at a trifling cost to
the tax payers. We think this would be a
most capital way to improve our streets.
SPORTING NOTES
But few squirrels have been killed so far
since the season opened.
A wild cat was killed, one day last week
ou the farm of Mr. Miller, adjoining Mt. Union'
Mr. A. V. Cuafield, one of the members of
the victorious American Rifle Team, is en
gaged in teaching Chamberehurg riflemen how
to shoot at long range.
Two Ntmrods left home at 2A. If and re
turned, foot sore and weary, at G P. af., having
in their possession one half-grown gray squir
rel and two insignificant "pineys. -
Somebody owns a cat down about MifflintoWn
that has caught and brought home five rab
bits within a month. That feline would be a
valuable acquisition to the Hare and Hound
club of this place.
Traugh, the Standard man, went the other
day to do some fancy fishing. In place of a
nice string of catties he only hooked up a lit
tle drowned kitten which some cruel boy who
knew he "hadn't orter" had tied to a stone
and flung into the water.—llollidayaburg cor
respondence Altoona Tribune.
Harry Bowersox, of Sbirleysburg, is so far
entitled to wear the belt as the champion
squirrel slayer. One day last week, whilst
hunting in the woods near that place, he
brought down four gray squirrels at one shot,
three of them were killed dead, and the fourth
one severely wounded. If any of our Nim
rods can beat this we want to hear from them.
CIIAIGES IN REVENUE OFFICE.—From
the Somerset papers we learn that Revenue-
Collector Scull, of this district, has made
some changes in the force under him, which
were necessitated by the recent sad demise of
one of his sons, Mr. John I. Scull, who held
the position of Clerk and Deputy-Collector.
Mr. Ed. B. Scull, former local editor of the
Herald, has been appointed General Store
keeper and Gauger, and Mr. Frank B. Stutz
man, who has occupied that office for a long
time past, has been promoted to the Deputy-
Collectorship. Mr. Elias Cunningham, First
Deputy-Collector of the district, has received
the appointment of clerk to Col. Scull, and
the duties devolving upon him in the latter
position are added to those of the former. We
congratulate these gentlemen upon their
deserved promotion.—Johnstown Tribune.
REPUALICAN MEETING.
PSTISESBURG, PA., Sept. 10, 1818.
EDITOR JOURNAL :—The campaign was opened
here last night la a rousing Republican meeting.
The Union School building was crowded to over
flowing. The first speaker was J. W. Mattern, esa.,
who discussed the financial question in a masterly
manner, and to the satisfaction of every doubting
mind. J. W. Baer, esq., the "Buckeye Blacksmith"
brought up the rear, and by his winning manners,
and his own way of discussing the vital issues of
the campaign, infused such enthusiasm into the
minds of the voters present as has not been seen
here tor years.
