When hunting Christmas presents, you of
course wish to know where you can buy to
the best advantage. By consulting the columns
of the JOURNAL you will find out. Those who
really have a superior assortment, generally
make it known to the public.

"Jokey Bowser," the one-legged man who
went to roost on top of the picket fence at

quarter of the globe.
Scott Ickes, an employe in planing mill No.
2, Altoona, had one of his arms torn from his
body, on Wednesday of last week, by being
caught in some of the shafting. He sustained
other injuries, from the effects of which he
died about three hours after the accident.
The Teacher's Institute, now in session, is
one of the largest ever held in the county,
and much interest seems to be manifested in
the proceedings, both by teachers and visitors.
Owing to our inability to give the proceed

the close of the institute, we may do so in a
future issue of the JOURNAL.

change for a decade, previous to his engaging

similar position at the Miller Hotel. Robert
is a first-class porter, and the patrons of that
popular hostelrie will be waited upon without
a grumble or a grunt, so common with per
sons occupying positions of this kind.

Liss Polly Summers, who resides with her
brother, Jesse Summers, on Moore street, went
out to milk their cow, as usual, on Monday
evening. From some cause or other, the old
cow became obstreperous and kicked at Miss
Polly and unfortunately struck her on one of
her legs, and the fesult was that member was
broken near the knee.—Monitor of last week.
The property of Col. E. B. M'Crum, formerly
of the Altoona Tribune, but later of the Juniata
Tribune, was sold at sheriff's sale, one day last
week, at Miffiintown. The printing office build
ing was sold to Jackman & Bonsall of the Dem
ocrat, for $1,525, his farm for ss,Goo,:ind a lot of
ground in that town fur $505. We are sorry
that our friend Mac. was overtaken by this
reverse
Our Methodist friends opened a protracted
meeting, on Tuesday evening last, in the
chapel recently built at the eastern end of
Penn street, near the gas works, and on the
first evening five persons presented themselves
at the altar for prayer. This is a good begin
ning and we hope the number may be increas
ed:from night to night during the continuance
of the services.
The Pacific Express west, on Sunday morn
ing, was two hours late, which was a good
thing for the late sleepers, as they were en
abled to get their mail from the office, which
is a rare occurrence on Sunday mornings
when the trains are on time. The detention
was caLsed by a wreck near "Anderson's," a
short distance this side of Lewistown. We
did not hear the extent of the damage or any
of the particulars.
Subscribers frequently write us requesting
us to send them statements of their subscrip
tion accounts. This is not necessary, for if
subscribers will examine the tab on their
papers they will see each week how much
they are indebted, and we hope every one of
them who reads this item will examine the tab
and resolve to have them all marked up to
1880. This is a suitable time to settle up all
little accounts.
A little son of Geo. Houser, residing at
Logan, Mifflin county, met a horrible death,
one morning last week, by scalding. The
little fellow was assisting his father to clean
a hog for a neighbor, when by some means he
fell backwards into a barrel of scalding water,
submerging his person except his bead and
feet. He lingered in great agony during the
remainder of the day, when death kindly re
lieved him of his sufferings.
James E. Port has opened a first-class res
taurant, called the "MINNEEIAIIA," in the base
ment at the corner of Fifth and Washington
streets, where he will feed the hungry on the
substantials of life, and tickle the epicurian
palate with all the dainties to be bad is the
eastern markets. Jim will spare no pains to
make his place worthy or patronage, and we
hope that his efforts in that direction will be
appreciated by the lovers of good things.
Reader, before you start out to purchase
your Holiday Presents, sit down and scan the
columns of the JOURNAL, and be certain to
patronize those whose advertisements or local
notices appear there. They are all honorable
gentlemen, and will deal with you on the
square, selling you goods lower than those
persons too penurious to spend a picayune
with the printers to tell the people what they
have to sell. Buy from liberal advertisers,
and you can always get bargains.
Bro. Lindsay, in his "little Local News,"
still harps on the subject that troubles him in
his waking hours and haunts him by night,
viz : How can he manage to get the election
proclamation cut down to suit "his space and
his type?" Hugh, you might as well admit
that this is what troubles you, and that your
weekly palaver about the enormoug s outlay to
the tax-payers is all bosh. The people so
view it, and smile at your persistent efforts to
get your fingers in the money-bags.
The Tyrone correspondent of the Altoona
Tribune, when be says that "the penitentiary
site could have been gone over in either a flat
boat or a yawl," during the late freshet, writes
about something he is ignorant of or he has
no regard for the truth. The site is as safe
from inundation as the highest point in the
village where this prevaricator of the truth
vegetates, if we are to judge from his descrip
tion of the people navigating the streets on
improvised rafts made of tubs, boards, etc.
The satistical returns of Methodism for
1878 shows that the number of Methodist
communicants in the world is 4,489,877, with
105,175 local and traveling preachers. The
Methodist population is estimated at 20,000,-
000. The Methodist Episcopal Church reports
1,988,783 members, 12,560 local and 11,303
itinerant preachers. The gain of members is
about 17,000 for the year. Other branches of
the denomination bring up the' total in the
United States to 3,365,999 members,• 26,642
local and 22,194 itinerant preachers.
The Huntingdon papers are exceeding wasp
ish on the "muddle" penitentiary question .
Take it coolly, brethren ; he laughs best who
laughs last.—llollidaysburg Standard.
We can't see just where the "waspish" part
comes in. Had our neighbor said that they
resembled the "bavy bee" he would have
been nearer right; for those papers which
favored the location of the institution here,
and the one which opposed it, were all bus y
during the pendency of the selection of the
site, and each put in its "best licks." But
we have raised the necessary amount of usu
fruct, and are now as "cool as cucumbers,' ,
and our neighbor can imagine he hears our
guffaws echoing through the mountains of
our covetous daughter Blair.
Mrs. Gorman, the mother of Michael Gor
man, the tramp who was killed by the Fast
Line, on Tuesday morning of last week, ar
rived in town on Friday evening for the pur
pose of taking the remains of her unfortunate
son to Philadelphia. She had the body ex
humed on Saturday morning and had no diffi
culty in recognizing it as that of her child.—
She was visibly affected at the sad and shock
ing death of her boy, and at once had the re
mains properly prepared for shipmaut, and
left at noon, or. Day Express for her home.
As that dreaded disease, diphtheria, is pre
vailing in different parts of the country, and
may at any moment make its appearance in
our county, we give place to the following
recipe for its cure as we find it in the Lan
caster Examiner, and which was furnished
that paper by a lady who has tried it on
several occasions and always with beneficial
results : "Halfteaspoonful of salt, 1 teaspoon
ful of pepper, 3 teaspoonfuls of vinegar, of a
cup of water. To be used as a gargle every
20 minutes until the patient will experience
some relief, and after that occasionally.
Down in Bloomfield, the other day, a tramp,
accOmpanied by a woman, made application
for admission to the county prison fur the
night, and when refused him he went down
the street a short distance, where he threw a
stone through the front wipdow of a private
residence, breaking five panes of glass acd
demolishing the sash. The stone struck in
the room between a couple of small children
sleeping in a crib. The owner of the property
gave the scoundrel a complete clubbing and
then committed him to prison. In a case of
this kind the whipping-post would be the very
thing.
The Lc istown people are putting in cisterns,
at different points in that town, to supply
water for their steamer in case of fire. The
people of Eluntingdon would act wisely if they
were to do the same thing, particularly in
those portions of the town which cannot be
reached with water from the canal, the only
supply we have for our steamer. If a fire
were to braak out on one of the streets which
cannot now be reached with our present
water supply, the people would be powerless
to stay the flames, and it would be a nice
point to decide whether the borough could
not be held for all damages arising from
a fire in that section of our town. The
Council should give this matter their early
attention.
Judge Junkin, of the Court of Common Pleas
of Juniata county, in a recent case against an
employe of the Pennsylvania railroad for
shoveling coal on an engine on Sunday held
that on long lines of railway "both necessity
and charity require that trains carrying live
stock and perishable freight be run upon
Sunday, and the statute of 1794 is not violated
thereby." In reading his decision he also
stated that "the legalized business of rail
roading necessarily involves, to some extent,
worldly employment of the Lord's day, the
performance of which is unavoidable and
hence within the statutory exception, and this
construction of the statute of 1794 has been
accepted as corrected by the common sense
of the people for nearly half a century."
The Huntingdon Journal, from premises of
its own, concludes that the Sentinel is "im
pudent" in asking the Commission, now that
Huntingdon has defaulted in its promises, to
locate the penitentiary at Lewistown. The
Journal would like the Commission to take
that suggestion as an insult. Perhaps it is,
from a Huntingdon standpoint, but it is not
obvious from any other.—Lewistown Sentinel.
No, not "impudent in asking," but after
having charged the Commission with being
"influenced by unworthy motives" in select
ing our town as the site, we think you ex
hibited an immense amount of "cheek" and a
coolness that was decidedly refreshing, when
you asked the Commission to give Huntingdon
the go-by and select Lewistown as the site.
Huntingdon has not "defaulted" to any large
extent. She has raised the necessary amount
of money, is ready to fulfil any pledges made,
and what is more, she will get the penitentiary,
the growling of our neighbors to the con
trary notwithstanding.
RE-UNlON.—About noin or Saturday,
7th ult., there was a family gathering at the
Shaffner homestead, in Airy Dale, which Mrs.
Shaffner surveyed with astonished eyes and
happy heart. Her children, six in number
—four with families—and two brothers, with
their wives, formed a surprise party number -
in,g twenty six—the juveniles footing up a
dozen—which met in a joyous re-union.
After greetings and short converse, came the
summons to dinner. Ordinary tables are said
to "groan" upon such occasions, but we
roundly assert that that table was utterly
past groaning. Commiseration for its over
burdened state was shown in the will with
which the parties dined. Verily, toasts and
speeches did much abound ; the joke was
r:racked, the "yarn" was spun, and ever and
anon the light of other days shone over the
fleeting hours. Mr. Martin L. Shaffner gave
an interesting and eloquent synopsis of the
family history. The tun of the afternoon
rose high, broke forth in a hotly contested
game of "town-ball," and culminated in the
astounding hubbub of a serenade to the newly
doubled 'Squire. With singing and playing
the evening wore on, and bedtime found all
assured that a family re-union is a good
thing, and full of the hope that their aged
mother might have her days lengthened out,
in happiness, to witness intny such home
gatherings. To all who have not had such a
pleasure, we say, go try it; root out self
ishness, nurture kindred love and ever foster
the beautiful memories of the old fireside.
THE business stand at 526 Penn street,
(Swartz's stand), has lately been fitted out as
aJewelry establishment by Clarence B. Kern,
a practical Watchmaker and Jeweler, who is
prepared to attend to all kinds of repairing in
the watchmaker's line, at moderate charges.

SPORTING NOTES
Some Blair county sportsmen arc to be ar
rested for capturing three deer with the aid
of dogs.
The deer season closed on Sunday, the 16th
inst. Squirrels, rabbits, woodcock and pheas
ants may be shot until the Ist pros.
On Monday of last week Jack IWCahan
snapped three caps at a good-sized deer. Such
luck would almost ruffle the temper of a saint.
Aaron Young of Bedford, shot a golden
eagle, last week, which measured six feet,
seven and a half inches from tip to tip, and
weighed eight and three-quarter pounds.
The tracks of a drove of four large wolves
were seen in the neighborhood of Bulab on
Saturday last, while their howling can be
heard distinctly almost every night by the
farmers.—Cambria _Herald.
The smallest deer of the season was killed
by a party of hunters one day last week on
Bell's run. It weighed, when dressed, about
fifteen pounds. We have not heard whether
the mighty hunters are ashamed or elated over
their feat.—Altoona Tribune.
An eleven-year old Cambria county youth,
the other day, came across a good-sized deer
that a couple of dogs had ran into a small
stream, when he put his arm about its neck
and cut its throat with his pocket knife, the
only weapon he had with him.
Some person informs us that Dr. Jackson
and Jack M'Cahan, of our town, had five
standing shots, the former three and the latter
two, at deer, on Friday last, but failed to bring
down the game. The distance must have been
too great, else the deer would have come to
grief, for both of these gentlemen are good
shots, and think nothing of striking the bull's
eye at a hundred yt.rds distant.
Our townsman, W. E. Lightner, esq., spent
three or four days last week in the wilds of
Tod township, in search of deer, and on Fri
day his labors 'were rewarded by a one hun
dred and sixty pound buck, which was made
to bite the dust by a ball from Mr. Ligbtner's
rifle, at about 120 yards distant. The animal
was killed in what is known in that locality
as the "barrens." Our friend Lightner was
as pr ud of his game as a boy is of his first
pair cf red-topped boots; and we can't blame
him for feeling elated, for the animal was
really a beauty, and as "fat as butter."
We notice that several of our exchanges in .
the interior of the State speak kindly of and
„approve of the suggestion made by us, a week
or two ago, to sow wfld rice in the Juniata
river as a protection to fish from the "pirates'
who are taking large quantities of them by
the use of stint and nets. We see no good
reason why the experiment should not be
tried r and if successful, in a year or so our
streams would be densely populated with fish,
and in addition to fish, wild geese, ducks, and
all other kinds of water fowl would inhabit
them in countless numbers. This is the case
iu western waters, where the rice is grown ,
and there is nothing to prevent a similar re
sult in our streams. It would cost but a trifle
to try the experiment, and we respectfully
suggest to the Secretary of the Game Associa
tion, in this place, that he opens a corres
pondence with some one in the west for the
purpose of obtaining information on this mat
ter, purchase a peck or half bushel of the seed,
and at the proper time sow it in the Juniata
or some of its tributaries. The seed can be
procured at Janesville, Wisconsin.
Housekeepers, great reduction in groceries
during the holidays. White sugar 10 cents,
brown, 8 cents, good coffee, 20 cents per
pound, best syrup G 5 cents per gallon, good
syrup, GO cents, pure New Orleans, 80 cents,
and all other things in proportion. Go for

MIDDLE PENITENTIARY.—Money Suffi
cient to Purchase the Site Raised by the Hun
tingdon People.—This from the Harrisburg
Telegraph, of Saturday, we think is better than
anything we can say about the Penitentiary,
a nd being of a semi official cha-aster can b e
relied on as correct :
In conversation with a gentleman con
nected with the Middle Penitentiary Commis
sloe, this morning, a Telegraph reporter was
informed that the citizens of Huntingdon had
succeeded in raising the necessary funds to
purchase the site for the new pen itentiary
proposed to be erected at that place. It was
at one time thought that the Huntingdon peo
ple did not have sufficient local spirit to
raise the amount, but they are never wanting
in anything that will help to benefit the town,
and the original project will be carried
through. Tyrone and Williamsport can hide
their diminished heads—the new buildings
will go to Huntingdon beyond a doubt.
The proposed site has been negotiated for,
and all secured with the exception of one por
tion, which will be disposed of at sheriffs
sale soon and bought by those who have the
penitentiary matter in hand.
It was rumored at one time that Capt. Hart,
of this city, secretary of the Commission, in
tended to remove to Huntingdon, but we are
informed that such is not hie intention.
The Commissioner's next meeting will be
held in Reading, in a few days.
Notice to all—Great bargains and induce
ments are offered to all cash buyers through
the holidays. Don't fail to go to

SCIENCE IN STORY..
It is a great work for the young, and the
secular and the religious press all over the
country have spoken in highest terms of it.—
It is humorous, instructive and just the thing
to give children a knowledge of themselves.
Its author is Dr. E. B. Foote, who wrote

LITERARY NOTFS.-
lIARPRIVR MAGAZINE FOR JANUARY, 1879.
Harper's Magazine for January offers an unusual
variety of interesting reading matter, with over
ninety illustrations. The Number opens with an
effectively illustaated paper, by W. H. Rideing, on
Liverpool—" England's Great Seaport." S. G. W.
Benjamin contributes the first of two profusely
illustrated papers, entitled "Rambles in the South
of France."
Besides these articles descriptive of places, there
is, for readers interested in the curiosities of ani
mal life, Mrs. Treat's illustrated paper, "A Chap
ter in the History of Ants"—a narrative of her
own observations. Those interested in ceramic
art will be especially pleased with Jennie J.
Young's "Cloisonne Enamel," with eight beauti
ful engravings. Agricultural readers will find
Colonel Waring's illustrated paper on the last
meeting of the "Royal Agricultural" show full of
carious and instructive information. Those inter
ested in our early American literature will rejoice
to see an almost forgotten poetess—Mrs. Maria
Brooks, or "Maria del Occidente"—recalled from
oblivion by Mrs. Gustafson's delightful paper,
giving, through a variety of letters (from Colonel
Brooks, a son of the poetess, the Southeys, R. 11.
Horne, and others), reminiscences of this remark
able author's brief career. Mrs. Brooks, the
author of "Zophiel," a poem from which Mrs.
Gustafson quotes largely, was pronounced by
Southey "the most impassioned and most imagina
tive of all poetesses." Both literary and musical
readers will be interested in the curious informa
tion given in the paper on Rousseau respecting his
musical achievements.
Porte Crayon contributes one of his ch. racteris
tic articles, entitled "Home," with illustrations.
Edward Everett Hale's fins poem, "The Great
Harvest Year," appropriately closes the Number.
The Easy Chair discusses Choate, the magazine
of to-day, the true story of Paul Revere's Ride,
etc. The Literary Record is a comprehensive and
critical summary of the important books of the
month. The other editorial departments are well
sustained.

CONSUMPTION CURED,
An old physician, retired from practice, having
had placed in his hands by an ±last India mission
ary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, fur
the speedy and permanent cure for consumption,
bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, an 1 all throat and
lung affections, also a positive and radical cure
for nervous debility and all nervous complaints,
after having tested its wonderful curative powers
in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make
it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by
this motive, and a desire to relieve human suffer
ing, I will send, free of charge, to all who desire
it, this recipe, with full directions for preparing
and using, in German, French, or English. Sent
