According to the Altoona Tribune, Spruce
Creek is entitled to the "blue ribbon" for
raising mammoth swine, Geo. Bonsall, of that
place, having slaughtered two the other day,
which weighed respectively 590 and 621 pounds.
Judge Cannon is reported to have killed the
fattest hog of the season, on Tuesday. For
severals weeks past its eyes were entirely con
cealed from view by the huge rolls of fat about
its head, and those persons who went to see
it report it as a curiosity.
The Altoona Mirror, since it changed hands,
has been made considerably smaller, but the
great improvement in the typographical ap
pearance of the paper will amply atone for its
decrease in size. It is handsomely printed
now, and should be liberally supported.
M'Pike, of the Freeman, promises to increase
the dimensions of his paper and dress it up in
a new suit at the end of the present volume,
which will close in four or five weeks. Glad
to hoar that our witty contemporary has the
necessary amount of usufruct to do these
things.
The Sunbury .Democrat comes to this con
clusion : Tread on a man's corns through
a newspaper, and how quick you will hear
from him, but do him a good turn in the same
way, and he will forget to thank you for it,
and scarcely remember it even a fortnight
Such is newspaper experience. Such has been
our experience.
Our young friend Charles Crowley, form
erly of the Bush House, this place, now of the
Leister House, Huntingdon, is a man of busi
ness, and attends to his business well, too—
at least we judge so by the frequency of his
visits to Bellefonte. When we last saw him
he had three Bellefonte beauties in tow, and
still looked happy.—Centre Ilerald.
Our old preceptor and esteemed friend,
"Dad" Lewis, made a telling speech before
Council, on Monday eight, in favor of that
body helping to purchase the site for the
penitentiary; but his remarks had no effect
on the fogy members, and all but three of
them voted no. Messrs. Lewis, Taylor and
Mattern are progressive gentlemen and voted
yea.
The employes of the Middle Division of the
P. R. R., on Saturday last, at Harrisburg, pre
sented the late Superintendent, James M'Crea,
with a handsome and costly watch and chain.
Mr. M'Crea removed to Jersey City, on Monday
last, and the men so long under his employ
took this occasion and this way of testifying
their esteem and respect for their late popular
Superintendent.
A slightly demented woman by the name of
Ross threatened to shoot Judge Mayer, of
Clearfield, a few days since, because he de
clined to issue an order to restore a child to
her possession that bad been bound out to a
family in the county. She came into court,
when the sheriff approached her and found a
loaded revolver in her lap. He took the
weapon from her.
Chairman Eck is "as cross as a bear with a
sore head," because we reminded him, through
the columns of the JOURNAL, that be was in
debted to us in the amount of $5 for publish
ing his announcement when a candidate for
sheriff, and he "goes for us" ia regular fish
market vernacular, which would lead the
reader to believe that the chairman is an
adept in blackguardism.
The Juniata was bank full oa Wednesday
morning, whilst Stone Creek presented the
appearance of a lake, the meadows below town
being completely submerged, and as far as the
eye could reach a broad expanse of water was
visible. Crooked Creek, not to be behind her
sister streams, overflowed her banks and
flooded the fields along her course, doing con
siderable damage to the fences.
A young man named Johnny Campbell, who
vegetates in this place, on Friday evening last
took a shirt hanging in front of Rudolph's
manufactory, which he immediately put on.
Ile was traced to 111a.:bus' saton, where his
captors compelled him to disrobe himself of
his clean linen and hand it over to its owner,
which be did without any considerable amount
of murmuring, when lie was permitted to go
his way.
The Williamsport Lyceum has decided that
a miser is more injurious to society than a
drunkard.—Hanisbur.g Telegraph.
And it has decided correctly, too ; but to
make its decision complete it should have
added that they are an infernal sight meaner
and more contemptible than the veriest
drunkard can possibly make himself. They
are not only "injurious" but a curse to society,
We have a few of them in Huntingdon.
We are sorry that we cannot spare the time
to hunt up and the space to publish, the law
relating to the publication of the election
proclamation, in order to gratify Brother
Lindsay's desire to see it in print. 'We have
read so much in the News, about the election
proclamation, since that paper conceived the
idea of attempting to have it cut down to suit
"its space and its type," that we have tired
of it, and we dismiss it for the present.
Our friend and patron, W. IL McCall, has
sold his farm on Piney Ridge, and proposes to
take Horace Greeley's advice and "go West"
in thz-, Spring. Mr. M'Call is a very clover
gentleman, and we feel sorry that he has con
cluded to leave this section, but in whatever
part of the \Vest he may pitch his tent we
hope he may be successful, and that the
shekels may roll into his coffers more rapidly
than they did when he followed the plow over
the rugged peaks of Piney.
An exchange says : "Every,little while we
read of some one who has stuck a rusty nail
in his foot or some other part of his person
and lockjaw has resulted therefrom. Ali such'
wounds can be healed without any fatal con
sequence following them. The remedy is
simple ; it is only to smoke such a wound, or
any wound or bruise that is inflamed, with
burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty min
utes in the smoke of wool will take the pain
out of the worst case of inflammation arising
from any wound we ever saw."
Col. W. H. Maynard, formerly the popular
clerk at the Leister House, but now occupying
a similar position at the "Merchants," in Johns
town, crossed the portals of our sanctum on
Saturday evening, and deposited a "dollar of
the daddies" for a six months' subscription
to "the handsomest min best paper in the
county." Will drops down this way semi
occasionally, and we could tell the why there
for, but as it don't concern the public we
won't do it. He tarried until Monday when
lie hied himself to his mountain home.
Geo. B. Orlady, esq., assignee of Aaron
Stewart, on Saturday last sold the real estate
of Mr. Stewart as follows : The two-story
dwelling house, on the corner of Fourth and
Mifflin streets, to W. 11. DeArmitt, esq., for
$1260 ; the small house and quarter lot ad
joining the above property to Joshua Green
land, esq., for $4BO, and the Penn street
property, now occupied by Neal & Long, to
Thomas Newell, esq., for $615.00, subject to
a dower of $1333.33 to be paid to the heirs of
Armstrong Willoughby, on the death of his
widow, Mrs. Catharine Willoughby.
The Altoona Tribune, of Saturday, says that
Huntingdon received "a snub in the Peniten
tiary matter," at the meeting of the Commis
sion, in Pli'ladelphia, on Friday. We can't
see just where the "snub" comes in. We asked
for a little more time in which to raise the
money, which the Commission granted us, and
before or at that time we will have everything
ready to pass the deeds of the property over
to those empowered to receive them. There
is no danger that the Commission gill have to
select "another county as the site," but if they
should have to do so it will be Lycom in,g and
not Blair county.
A religious fraud is traveling through the
eastern counties of the State gaining a liveli
hood by imposition and misrepresentation,
and as he may visit our county our readers
will do well to keep a sharp lookout for him .
He is a French Canadian, but calls himself a
Parisian, short in stature, with a florid coun
tenance. Joseph A. Reinest is one of the
names under which he operates. Ile claims
to have been a Catholic and to be persecuted
by his friends because he is seeking a new
faith in Christ. He is always short of cash,
and pleads for advances pending the arrival
remittances from various quarters.
The inspection of the troops composing the
Fifth Regiment was held at Tyrone on Tues
day last, and notwithstanding the inclement
weather the display is said to have been
creditable. The inspection was held in D. P.
Ray's large tannery building, and was con
ducted by Adjutant General Latta, of the
Governor's staff, assisted .by Gen. Beaver.—
An election for Major of the regiment was
held, and resulted in the selection of Capt. P.
J. Wolslagle, of Cambria county. Company
, of Bedford, was considered the best-drilled
company in line. They tarried in this place
the greater part of Wednesday awaiting trans
portation to their homes. They are a jovial
set of fellows and look every inch the soldier.
The Lewistown Gazette says every piper in
the United States ought occasionally to keep
the fact before its readers that burnt corn is a
certain and speedy cure for bog cholera. The
best way is to make a pile acorn on the cobs,
effectually scorch it and then give the affected
hogs free access to it. This remedy was dis
covered by accident by E. E. Locke, esq., at
the time his distillery was burned in this
county, together with a large lot of stored
corn which was so much injured as to be unfit
for use, was hauled out and greedily eaten by
the hogs, several or which were dying daily.
After the second day not a single hog was
lost and . the disease entirely disappeared.—
The remedy has been tried since in a number
of cases and has never failed.
In a case of riot, tried in Cambria county
last week, in which the strongest kind of
evidence was produced as to the guilt of the
prisoners, the jury rendered a verdict of "not
guilty." Judge Orvis, who presided during
the trial, jumped to his feet and said that he
was "perfectly amazed." He did not under
stand how a jury composed of rational beings
could deliver such a verdict, in the face of the
overwhelming evidence adduced by the pros
ecution. The witnesses of both sides bad
practically agreed upon all essential points.
It was made clear by the testimony that a
mob had descended upon the prosecutor's
dwelling, and, in the midst of a din that was
heard a quarter of a mile away, had dragged
him out into the night and roughly handled
him. The defense had even confessed itself
guilty of assault and battery, and yet the jury,
with sublime obstinacy, wrangled a whole day
before coming to a conclusion, and then gave
in a verdict which would shame any honest
I a n
THE JENNINGS MILLIONS.—Thera WaS
a meeting of the Jennings heirs held in the
court room, in Camden, N. J., on Thursday of
last week, for the purpose of hearing the re
port of Mr. Samuel A. Cook, who has been
engaged since last summer in hunting up the
genealogy of the Jenningses, and for raising
funds to further prosecute the claim. Being
in Philadelphia at the time we concluded to
cross over the river and attend this meeting
of the expectant heirs, and hiarn what we
could respecting the chances of their securing
the colossal fortune now locked in the vaults
of English banks awaiting legitimate owners.
The meeting was called to order by the
chairman, Dr. Kirkpatrick who briefly stated
its object, and then called on the finance com
mittee to report, which it did, through its
chairman, showing that it had expended $l2O,
one hundred and ten of which had been paid
to Mr. Cook, and the remaining ten for adver
tising the call for this meeting, leaving the
committee "short" $lO, as it had only received
$llO frog_: the meeting held last summer.—
The report of the committee was satisfactory
to all in the house except a gentleman named
Campbell, who said he "thought that it paid
to be a member of the finance committee, and
that he would like to be a member of it." To
satisfy the gentleman be was made a member
of the committee, and Nov wizen this fortune
is secured he will have the privilega of assist
ing to divide it among the hundreds of ex
pectant heirs. Mr. Cook was now called upon
to tell the audience what he knew about the
Jenningses, and, judging from the history be
gave of their genealogy, one would be led to
believe that he "knew it all." Ile told them
that so far as the genealogy of the Jenningses
in this country was concerned, he was confi
dent that he had it all perfect, without one
missing link, and was satisfied that the three
hundred millions of dollars rightfully be
longed to them ; but in order to obtain the
money it would be necessary to go over to
England and bunt up the genealogy of the
Jenningses there, but he saw no difficulty in
the way, as he had a starting point which
could not fail to result in success, and that as
soon as he accomplished his work there, and
connected the American Jenningses wills the
English Jenningses the proof would be ample
and the fortune would be forthcoming. This
was gratify biz news to the two or three hun
dred men and women present, and caused a
smile to ripple over the countenance of many,
but when Mr. Cook told them that $2,500 cash
woul I be necessary to enable him to yisit En
gland to accomplish all this, the countenances
which a moment before were wreathed in
smiles were considerably elongated, and little
knots of men and women soon formed to dis
cuss the financial part of the programme. The
dinner hour having arrived we withdrew at
this stage of the proceedings, and are unable
to give a further report of the meeting ; but
?luring our brief stay among the heirs of Jen
nings, we made up our mind that several
moons will wak and wane before they will ex
perience the pleasure of clinking the gold now
locked in the coffers of the Bank of England.
CANDIDATES VS. PRINTERS —A case of
considerable interest to candidates and printers
has just been decided at Williamsport. The
defeated candidate for Coroner refused to pay
the bill for printing election tickets on the
ground that he individually had not ordered
them, and was accordingly sued by E. B.
Haines, editor of the Banner. The Chairman
of the county committee testified that he or
dered the tickets to be printed, and they were
sent all over the county to he used at the polls
for the benefit of the Coroner and other can
didates named on the ticket. Others who
had been candidates testified that it was cus
tomary for candidates to pay bills such as
printing tickets, &c. The fact that a candi
date don't order his tickets printed is enough
to assume that he leaves it in the hands of
the county committee to do for him and make
him responsible. The Banner was awarded
judgment for the amount of the bill, $lO, and
costs. The printer who prints tickets for a
candidate should undoubtedly be paid.
We clip the above from the Centre Herald,
and publish it for the benefit of those persons
who refuse to pay the printer for printing
tickets and other campaign services. No
candidate has a right to expect that a printer
should furnish tickets and champion his cause
during a campaign without being paid for his
labor. Yet there are men of this kind. There
is a prominent official in this county to-day
who refused to pay us for printing tickets fur
him, when he was a candidate for Director of
the Poor several years ago. He took the
ground that he had not ordered the work
done, therefore he was not bound to pay, but
the above decision covers his case exactly
and shows that he was in error. We bronght
suit against Lim for the amount of our bill,
before Esquire Murray, and got judgment for
$2O. The defendant took an appeal, and our
attorneys, fearing that the case would go
against us, advised us to drop it, and acting
on this advice we not only lost the amount
claimed, but had to pay in addition some
twenty odd dollars of costs. Years after this
same man was a candidate for office again,
was elected, and still holds the position. At
the time of his last candidacy politics were so
mixed in this county that we deemed it im
prudent to oppose his election, but if be
should ever again come before the people we
promise him that the JOURNAL will not support
him unless he settles up the old score ofyears
PUSHING ADVERTISING TOO FAR.—
"Bless my soul !" said Col. Crawford, last
Sunday morning, "This is too bad I Here's
Bull's Cough Syrup in the Bible!" The Col
onel took off his specs, rubbed them carefully
and looked again. "Yes I here in the 23d
chapter of Isaiah, 15th verse,—Over 500,000
bottles of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, &c. Well,
I thought that Bull got everywhere else except
in the Bible. Now I'll give it up ; it must be
a good thing." Mrs. C. came in and explain
ed that she had cut the slip out of a newspa
per and put it in her Bible for safe keeping
and it had stuck to the leaf. So the Colouel
was satisfied.—Staunton Va., Vindicator.

themselves and participate freely.

RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS
Arrangements have been made by which
teachers and directors desiring to attend can
get excursion tickets, at the usual rates, good
anti! Saturday, Dec. 21.
Card orders for excursion tickets on the
H. & B. T. R. R., can be had by applying to
any of the following named persons : W. H.
Barnett, Dudley ; W. S. Enyeart, Saxton ; M.
L. Shultz, Coffee Run ; Mr. Grove. (merchant)

On the Penna. Central: W. H. Waite,

C. Grafius, Alexandria; J. H. Nale, Peters
burg ; R. S. Henderson, Mapleton ; and J. R.
Baker, at Mt. Union, Monday forenoon, Dec.
16th ; af,er that, at the Post Office.

Robertsdale ; R. S. Giffin, Saltillo ; R. J. Coons
or W. R. Baker, Orbisonia ; Geo. Mease, Shir
leysburg, and James Ilarper, esq., Aughwick.
We have arranged the Institute work with
a view to meet the special wants of teachers.
From observations at examinations and school
visits, we have Tithed the points upon which
instructions seem to be most needed, and to
the treatment of these our learned instructors
will direct special attention. Thus the exer
cises will be so practicable and profitable that
teachers who attend in the proper spirit can't
help being benefitted, and we want to have a
full representation from every district and
borough, in attendance. We bare a reasona
ble right to ask and expect every teacher to
attend, whether lie is credited for the time or
net. The plea that "the directors will not
give the time," is not a sufficient or valid
excuse. Teachers, we ought to avail ourselves
of every means of improvement within our
reach: This is a duty we owe to our pupils,
our patrons and ourselves. Let us all endeav
or to do our duty.
I wouid respectfully ask the directors of
each district to co-operate with us to the
extent at least, of crediting teachers for the
time to attend Institute, believing that the
time will be profitably improved, and the
teachers better prepared for their work ; and
that the schools may be more benefitted by
the influence of the Institute than by so many
more days teaching. The success of a school
does not depend so much upon the length of
the time spent in the school room as upon the
manner in which the hours are improved.
All directors, and all others interested in
the cause of education, are most cordially
invited to attend, and participate in the exer
cises. Let us all work together for the success
of the cause. W. R. BAKER,
Orbisonia, Dec. 3, 1878. County Supt.

LOCAL CLIPPINGS
We clip the following items from Our Paper,
published at Three Springs :
Mr. Samuel Stem has sold his farm in Clay
twp., to S. M'Vitty esq., price paid was $6OOO.
Andrew Swoope is prepareing to build a
house, on a lot which he bought from
fleck.
Post Master IV. J. Ilampson, has appointed
Dr. Stever as his deputy. The office will he
continued at the old stand.
The thieving villain who fur sometime has
been burning other people's fence rails, when
he cannot find wood already chopped to steal
from wood piles, is notified that he is known ;
and if he persists in his petty thieving, the law
will be enforced against him, to its full extent.
David B. Heck is engaged in opening a drift
to the vein of fossil ore, found sometime since
on the land of Daniel M. Heck, in this
borough. This is the same vein of ore that is
now being worked by Mr. Brewer, on the land
of K. L. Greene. The vein on Mr. Greene's
land averagess 15 inches. But where the
opening has been made on Mr. Heck's land, it
measures 23 inches. The ore i 9 pronounced
to be of an excellent quality.
These from the Mt. Union Times of last week
On Wednesday while the family of Mr. Der
rick Shaver, of Shirley township, about two
miles southwest of this place, were attending
a funeral, his corn crip and wagon-shed were
entirely consumed by , fire. It is only a few
weeks since Mr. Shaver's barn was destroyed
in the same way. Both fires are supposed to
have been the work of an incendiary. Pun
ishment could not be too severe for any one
fiendish enough to fire the buildings of a
fellow citizen. We hope the guilty parties
will be brought to justice.
ANOTHER MISFORTUNE.—We learn that a boy
named William Daniels, aged about fifteen
years, residing in our sister town, Newton
Hamilton, while attempting to board a freight
train on Monday morning for the purpose of
coming to this place, missed his calcuiation,
slipped and fell under the moving train. The
wheels passed over his right leg just above
the ankle, crushing it in a terrible manner.
The leg was subsequently amputated below
the knee. Ills sufferings are intense, as he
also received some injury to his side. This is
another sad warning against jumping on
moving trains, and yet there is very little
impression made on the mind of the daring
though accident follows accident.
A "STRIKE."—On Tuesday morning the East
Broad Top railroad company reduced the
wages of the yard and trackmen at this place
to seventy-two cents a day. The yardmen
protested against this reduction, and stopped
work immediately. As this would leave the
company "in a fix," they agreed to give them
the same wages they had been, receiving,
and the men returned to work again. We are
not in favcr of strikes, and yet we think these
men did perfectly right 'in refusing to work
for this reduction. They were only receiving
eighty-one cents a day before, and the idea
of putting the wages down to seventy-two
cents is absurd. They have the hardest kind
of labor to perform, and should be well paid
for it. Instead of a reduction their wages
should be increased. The reduction should
be from those who are receiving big salaries,
and could better afford it. That would be
Son Claps' lloagilliaftors.
Old Santa Claus has established
his headquarters at the JOURNAL
STORE for the Holiday season of
1878-9, where he has in store a full
line of goods suitable for Christmas
Gifts. They embrace both the use
ful and ornamental, and are worthy
an inspection from the public. Come
and see them.
Two MEN KILLED —The Fast Line
east, on Wednesday morning last, which was
some four or five hours behind time, and
reached this place about six o'clock, ran over
and cut to pieces, between the coal wharf and
Henry & Co's crossing, a man named Michael
Gorman, whose residence was Philadelphia,
and whither he was bound at the time of the
accident. His companion said the deceased
was a butcher by trade and had been to Texas•
They were walking on the south track and
discovering a train approaching them from the
rear the deceased stepped to the north track
t) avoid it, but just as he did so the Fast Line
came thundering along and struck him, throw
ing him upon the track in such a position
that the entire train passed over him. His
remains were taken to the old depot building,
corner of Third and Allegheny streets, where
an inquest was held and from which place
they were buried on Wednesday afternoon.
We are informed that the same train killed
Theodore Keith, of Spruce Creek, at bridge
4,.a short distance west of that place.
Mr. Keith, who was quite aged, was employed
as a watchman by the railroad company. We
are unable to gain particulars.
THE POSTAL BUSINESS.—Very few per
sons have any idea of the amount of postal
business done on the railroad route between
Iluntingdon via Bedford, to Cumberland, Md.
One of the agents, Mr. John B. Helm, informs
us that for the month of November they
handled on the train, 1692 packages of letters
aggregating 101,520 letters, and 310 sacks of
newspapers aggregating 62,000 newspapers
and magazines. In this connection we might
introduce here,
WHAT CAN BE SENT BY MAlL.—Under the
postal regulations concerning third-class mat
ter, about thirty kinds of goods can be for
warded through the mails at one cent per
ounce, provided that the packages do not ex
ceed four pounds in weight or four feet in
length. Among the category are prints,
chromos, roots and bulbs, samples of ores
metals and minerals, and general merchandise .
Under this classification a bulky p ickage. such
a a loosely-folded silk dress, a broad brimmed
straw hat, a bird-cage, a box of toys, can,
provided the stipulated weight is observed
be forwarded through the mails. This matter
can also be registered, and enjoy all the safety
that will insure. With these arrangements
the mail can be often used advantageously in
place of express companies, and in many cases
at great saving for transportation.—Bedford
Inquirer.
TEACHERS' HOME.—To the Teachers of
Huntingdon County, and others.—The members
of the M. E. Church of West Huntingdon have
determined to hold a Festival, in the old Pres
byterian Church, during the County Institute,
commencing Monday Dec. 18th, and to con
tinue during the week. They have made
ample arrangements to board and lodge all
who may desire it, for seventy-five cents per
day, or twenty-five cents for a single meal.—
No efforts will be spared to get the very best
that the market affords.
Fresh Beef, Roast Turkey and Chickens, or
Oysters will be served at every meal in addi
tion to all the dainties necessary to furnish a
tip-top meal.
Meals at all hours of the day, Ice cream and
other Festival "good things" in abundance.
Call on Mr. W. H. Sheeder, at the Court
House, who will furnish tickets for lodging and
meals to all who may desire to avail them
selves of this rare opportunity to secure good
homes and at the same time assist in advan
cing a good cause. First come first served.

SPORTING NOTES
A party of hunters spent Saturday on War
rior Ridge, but no deer repaid them for their
weary tramp.
T. C. Fisher, esq., on Saturday last, during
a six hours' hunt, killed ten partridges and
tR o pheasants.
Since the opening of the turkey season
Robert Decker, of Henderson township, has
shot ten wild turkeys.
Deer must not be shot after Monday next,
16th inst. Our Nimrois will please remember
this bit of information.
There has not been a good "tracking" snow
fell since the deer season opened, and the
prospects for one before its close are not very
flattering.
A party of Altoona hunters, with a pack of
hounds, according to the Tribune, ran a fox
on a tree. The first time we ever heard of a
fox climbing a tree. •
An occasional wild duck is to be seeu on
the river. If our streams were planted with
wild rice all kinds of water fowl would inhabit
them in myriad numbers.
Jack 111'Cahan caught a rabbit, alive, the
other day, in the rocks on the hill in the rear
of his residence, which he presented to us,
and off which we made our Sunday supper.
R. F. Myers, of Altoona, who is the owner
of a pair of "flyers," known in turf circles as
"Little Nell" and "Annie Willis," is willing - to
"chance them off" providing $5OO can be
raised for the former and $4OO fur the latter.
Tickets $l. The Tribune says that the former
animal has trotted a mile in 2:31. flare is a
chance for some of the lovers of horse flesh to
get a good stepper for little or nothing.

EDITORS AND THEIR PRIVILEGES.—
The courts are beginning to understand the
position of editors in their true light. The
Chicago Times has the following : "The courts
are beginning to take notice of the relations
of an editor toward persons with whom he is
brought into confidential relations. A Roch
ester newspaper man, who was called upon to
testify as to the manner in which he obtained
certain inforination published in his paper
bearing on a case at issue in oourt, declined
to answer, alleging that a disclosure by him
of the name of his informant would seriously
injure him in his business as the publisher of
a newspaper, and that as the information had
been imparted to him under the pled_ge of
secrecy as to the informant, he was as privileged
as a lawyer who had received disclosures from
his client. The court took his view of the
case."

LITERARY NOTFS.-
Peterson's lfagazins is already on our table for
January, a triumph of art, literature, and fashion.
Either of the two steel engravings "The Play
mates," or "The Letter at the Gate," is worth
the price of the number. Then the treble-sized
colored pattern, "Persian Embroidery in Applique,
&c.," the very newest thing out, would be cheap
at fifty cents. As for the mammoth colored fash
ion-plate, it is simply unrivaled ; and besides this
there are some thirty other fashion illustrations.
Teen, too, there is a Supplement, with a full-size
pattern for a Winter Mantill, the very latest style.
To praise the stories in "Peterson" is unnecessary ;
they are always original, and always the best.
Two powerful noyclets are begun, one by Ann S.
Stephens, another by Jane U Austin ; and in
addition there are stories by Frances Hodgson
Burnett, Rebecca Harding Davis, Frank Lee Bene
dict, "Josiah A lien's Wife," &c.
Nom is the time to subscribe. "Peterson" is un
questionably the cheapest and best of the ladies'
books. The price is only two dollars a year. To
clubs it is cheaper still, viz: 4 copies for $6.50,
with an extra copy gratis to the person getting pp
tke 'qui, or 5 copies for $B.OO, and both an extra
copy and a superb premium engraving, "Christ
