More light is needed in the County Treas urer's room. It is a gloomy, dingy place, and in cloudy weather the gas must be lighted before that officer can see to de his work. During the week of prayer we hope de Eminent subscribers to newspapers will not be forgotten. A few prayers in their behalf might have the effect of causing them to pay up. ."The Electric" a new cigar manufactured expressly for the JOURNAL trade, is the best in the market, and lovers of the weed are loud in its praise. Everybody smokes it, and they love it. "The old farm house," by "Lougfellow,jr.," came duly to ham', and we insert it—iu the waste-basket, the only fitting place for such bad jingle. As a poet our correspondent is not a success. During the late cold snap the trains on the P. R. EL, were nearly all behind time. On Sunday morning the train from the east was two hours late and the western train two hours and a half.

A car load of Texan cattle which passed through this place on Thursday night of last week arrived at the Harrisburg stock yard early on Friday morning, and on being in spected several of them were found frozen to death. .T. U. Hicks, esq , of Tyrone, illuminated our sanctum by his presence on Thursday after noon. He is a clever gentleman, and we are always pleased to have him cross the JOURNAL threshold when business calls him to this bailiwick. J. B. Seal, ...sq., editor of the Millersburg herald, was married on the 24th ult., to Miss Ella Weaver, of Montoursville, Pa. We wish brother Seal and his lair bride all the happi ness that it is possible for mortals to enjoy on this earth. We are pleased to learn that Mrs. Hamilton, the estimable wife of our old friend and patron, James Hamilton, esq.. of Shaver's Creek, who has been dangerously ill fur a long time with typhoid fever, is out of danger and slowly convalescing. Geo. Warfel, while driving his coal wagon about town, on Thursday afternoon, had one of his ears _frozen as hard as a board. A stream of cold water poured on it for several minutes had the effect of drawing the frost and easing the pain. Gco. W. Cornelius, esq., of Shirleysburg, spent a couple of days in our town last week. If the 'Squire can find a house to suit him it is more than probable that he will become a citizen of ye ancient borough in the Spring. We will be pleased to bare him do so. The series of meetings which were in pro gress in the Stone Creek chapel for the past fortnight closed on Wednesday. Several per- sons professed conversion and propose attach ing themselves to the M. E. Church, under whose auspices the meetings were conducted. Gen. F. 11. Lane tarried with us one day last week, and during his stay he was busily engaged in getting subscribers to a patent copying book. It does away with the old copying press and is as handy "as snuff in a rag." Quite a number of our business men invested. A person coming out of the lower door of the post-office, without the greatest caution is exercisel, will perform feats of tumbling that will eclipse those of the saw-dust arena• It is a most dangerous place these days of frost and snow, as the many who have fallen there can attest. The Juniata is ice -bound, the first time in half a dozen years that it has been closed from shore to shore. On Saturday afternoon the ice was liberally patronized by skaters : old and young, male and female, black and white, went skimming over its smooth surface re gardless of the piercing cold and the rude blasts of old Boreas. Sam. H. Lemon, of Hollidaysburg, who went to Brazil with the Collins expedition, returned to his home on Thursday evening last, having seen the elephant in all his phases during his brief sojourn in that country. He was de lighted to once more tread his native heather, and many moons will wax and wane ere Sam uel will again take any Brazil in his'n. A public school building has just been 4iom pieced in Brookville, Jefferson county, Pa., the cost of which, with the furniture, is $20,000. By this time next year we 'hope we will be able to announce that the borough of Hun tingdon has completed a building that will supply the pressing demands for a new edifice and one that will be an honor to the town. As our reporter came along Water Street last night, shivering with the chill night air, and drawing his overcoat tightly about him, he thought, "now is the time for colds and coughs," but if poor mortals only knew what a certain cure Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is, how few would long suffer, and then it costs only twenty-five cents.—Sandusky (Ohio) Register. We learn from the Altoona papers that a grand mass temperance convention will be held in that city on the 20th inst. Francis Murphy, the temperance apostle, will be in attendance and address the people. By the way, couldn't arrangements be made to bare Mr. Murphy visit our town and give us a temperance talk ? Friends of temperance, try it. We understand that efforts are being made to have General Kilpatrick visit our town and deliver his popular lecture : "Sherman's March to the Sea." We hope the gentlemen having the matter in hand will be successful in making the necessary arrangements, and that crc long our people will have the pleasure of listening to this eloquent soldier lecturer. Huntingdon should have a course of lectures every winter. The Tyrone Herald says that a Hollidaysburg map, stupified by drink and cold, was found near the Allegheny rolling mill the other night and taken in and resuscitated amid the lurid glare of the molten iron and the din of the machinery. As he slowly came to and was asked where he belonged, be looked about him in a frightened manner and replied : "Well, when I was on earth I lived in Holli daysburg." . The brick school house, in Brady township, made a narrow escape from being destroyed by five on Monday morning last. The fire was communicated to the roof by the stove pipe, and when discovered about a yard square had been burned, but by the prompt application of water the fire was subdued before doing further damage. A little while longer and the fire would have so far advanced that the destruction of the edifice would have been in • ev itable. By a circular received from Secretary A. Z. Schock, we are requested to announce that the third Semi-Annual Meeting of the "Peun sylvania Millers' State Association" will be held at the Stevens House, Lancaster, on Tuesday, the 14th day ofJanuary, at 11 o'clock' A. M. Persons desirous of attending the meet ing can purchase excursion tickets by first getting an order from the Secretary, whose post-office address is Selingsgrove, Pa. Hun tingdon, we have no doubt, will be represented at this meeting. During the intensely cold weather of last week, we are informed that some of the rooms in the old tumble-down school building, on the bill, were so cold that the little children huddled in them were almost perished ; and in spite of all the firing that could be done it was impossible to render them comfortable. This old barracks is a disgrace to the town, and as our people will have a chance to vote for the erection of a new and suitable build. ing, at the coming February election, we hope they will improve the opportunity and cast a solid ballot in favor of the enterprise. The monument, intended to mark the rest ing place of our old friend, John G. Miles, esq, was hauled past our office on Monday after noon, on a low sled built fur the purpose, drawn by the teams of Mr. Isaac Long and Mr . David Rohm. The monument is cone shaped , made of gray granite, in the rough, with a handsomely polished shield on one side, bear the name, age, &c., of the deceased. • It is a massive block, weighing some four or five tons. It was put in place by Green & Beaver, marble Workers in this place. It is odd from anything else to be found in our cemetery, but the design we think beautiful and very appropriate. By reference to the advertising columns of to day's JOURNAL it will be seen that a petition will be presented to the Legislature, during the present session ; asking that body to re duce the fees or salary of the Treasurer of f this county. As the law now stands tha officer is allowed $7OO for the collection of taxes and three per cent. for the handling of all monies which pass through his office, which makes the emoluments amount to about $2, 500 per annum. The petition will ask that the suns for collection be fixed at $5,00 and the percentage reduced to two and a half per cent. This will not interfere with the salary of the present incumbent. Those of our patrons who responded prompt ly, when our collector called last week, will please accept our thanks, and those who put him off with promises will please bear in mind that we cannot run the JOURNAL on promises to pay; we have to come down with the cash for paper, ink, labor, etc., and as we have nothing to depend on except our income from the paper, we must demand prompt payment from our patrons. No man, or woman either, should expect au editor to furnish them a paper year in and year out without being paid for it, and those who can't pay promptly should be honest enough to so inform the publisher so that lie could exercise his own judgment in the matter. Ex-Register W. E. Lightner was the first man in the county—and as far as we know the only one—to register his dog under the provisions of the law passed in May last. The law provides that the clerks of the several courts of Quarter Sessions within this Com monwealth shall procure a docket, at the ex pense of the county, for the registering of dogs. The owner of a dog who wishes to have him registered must give age, color, height, and such other marks or description as may be deemed necessary. For this a fee of $l.OO is to be paid. If the owner of the dog so registered sells bins, he is authorized to transfer the Clerk of Court's certificate to the purchaser, but the transfer must also be entered on the docket, for which a fee of 12 cents is to be paid. Dogs so registered are declared to be personal property, and as much the subject of larceny as any other kind of personal property ; and any one stealing a dog so registered is liable to prosecution and in dictment, and on conviction shall be sentenced to such fine or imprisonment, or both, as the court may think proper. A VERY UGLY AND DAMAGING STORY CONTRADICTED.--On Christmas morning, or the morning following, the Harrisburg papers contained an account of a minister having been arrested in the neighborhood of the depot, in that city, at a late hour of the night, in a supposed beastly state of intoxication, with a bottle of gin in his pocket. He was incarcerated in the lock up for the night, and in the morning whan brought before the Mayor for a hearing, the unfortunate man proved to be our former fellow townsman, Rev. R. E. Wilson. The reverend gentleman denied that he had been drunk, but alleged that he had been drugged in a restaurant, near the depot, where lie had the previous evening eaten a plate of oystgrs and drank a glass of sweet cider. Mr. Wilson seems to be unfortunate, as only a few years ago, while a resident of Altoona, he was charged with being on a jamboree in that city, but, as in this case, when the matter was investigated, he showed to the satisfaction of his congrega tion that he was innocent of the charge of drunkenness, and that the cause of his appar ent drunken stupor was occasioned by an over-dose of some narcotic taken for the alleviation of neuralgic pains from which be was suffering. The Harrisburg story, coming to the ears of the editor of the Conference News, published in that city, and the church , paper of the Con ference to which Mr. Wilson belongs, was fully investigated by that gentleman, and in the last issue of his paper lie has this to say con cerning it : , Oa the afternoon of Dc,. 24th Rev. It. E. Wil. FOll, of Mifilintown, visited Harrisburg to make some holiday purchases, arriving by the Johns town express, which was an hour and a half late. Ile bad but two hours in which to do his shopping and make the alcontniodation train. After calling at a number of business places he mule his way towards the depot, entering a restaurant shortly before train time, and partaking of a plate of oysters and a glass of sweet cider. He recollects nothing more of the occurrences of the,day. The next morning about three o'clock he recovered his consciousness, and found himself in a cell of the city lock-up. How he got there is to him (and td us, after an investigation which we feel in duty bound to make,) inexplicable on any other suppo sition than that he was drugged and foully dealt with. The report that first gained credence, that he was intoxicated, lacks evidence at every point, while his own statement is as fully corroborated as it well can be. The parties from whom he made purchases testi fy that he exhibited no signs of intoxication what ever, and Senator Crawford, who is his near neigh bor in Mifilintown, met him before he entered the restaurant to get his lunch, and bears the same testimony. lie left the restaurant and bought a ticket at the depot, the agent remarking th ,t he looked as if his mind was wandering. Taking a seat in a car, he at once sank into a stupor, but was aroused by the stopping of the train or some other means at Duncannon, where he got off and walked along the track, from which he was taken in the to save him from being run over by a passing freight train. By some means he subse quently got on the mail train east and was taken back to llartisburg„ where he was arrested by the police, on the supposition that he was intoxicated, and put in the lock-up for the night. Upon ex amination before the mayor the next morning, it was found his clothing had been cut, and his pocket book, containing some ten dollars, clerical tickets, etc., was missing. The story that a bottle of liquor was found upon his person is a pure fabrication. The Mayor gave Brother Wilson a letter certifying his belief that he had been drug ged, and all who have thoroughly investigated the circumstances are persuaded that such was the case, and that robbery was the motive that made him the victim of the foul outrage. Brother Wilson's congregation, after inquiring into all the circumstances of this strange affair, have given him every assurance of their confi dente in his integrity, and on last Sabbath turned out en masse to hear him preach. The community in which he lives have also given many evidences of sympathy and good will, and, for once, Christian charity seems to have averted the greatest misfor tune that could have befallen a brother through such a diabolical act—:he loss of his reputation 1861 RESUMPTION 1879 A SUCCESS.

THE INS AND OUTS.—On Monday last there was considerable commotion and bustle about the Court House, in this place, occa sioned by the stepping out of the old county officers and the induction of the new ones. In the Prothonotary's office Mr. Williamson is his own successor,•nnd a more gentlemanly and accommodating officer than he has proven himself to be never administered the affairs of that office since the organization of the county. The Register and Recorder's office, which has been conducted so satisfactorily by W. E. Lightner, esq., for the past six years, passes into the hands of our young friend, Irvin D. Kuntzelman, who has the ability and ex perience to make a good officer and to dis charge the duties of the office to the satisfac tion of the public. G. Ashman Miller, esq., who has handled the money bags for the past three years, turns the affairs of the Treasurer's office over to A. P. McElwain. Mr. Miller was an accommoda ting officer, and discharged his duty faithfully and well. We have no doubt that his suc cessor, when he becomes acquainted with the duties of the office, will discharge them satis factorily. J. Chalmers Jackson, esq, who has been the Commonwealth's attorney for the last three years, steps down and out to make room for Ceo. B. Orl Ldy, esq. During Mr. Jackson's term he discharged the duties of his position to the best of his ability. Mr. Orlady has the legal learning to make a good officer, and we predict for him a successful administration of the responsible duties devolving on the State's Attorney. In the Cotnruissioners' office our clever friends, Messrs. A. W. Wright, 11. G. Neff and D. B. Weaver have labored to the best of their ability to run the affairs of the county iu an economical way, and their efforts in this di rection have been partially successful. Their successors, Messrs. Benson, Isenberg and Smith are good business men. and we feel confident that they too will conduct the affairs of the county with an eye single to the best interest of the tax-payers. The new Board organized at once and proceeded to the election of a physician, attorney and clerk, with the following result: Physician, Dr. R. W. Weistling ; attorney, K. Allen Lovell ; Clerk, Thomas D. Newell. A THIEF SHOT.—For a month or two past the citizens of West township have been suffering from the depredations of thieves, without being able to ascertain who was car rying away their property. Our old friend, Henry. Davis, Sr., who resides in that town ship, was robbed of about twenty-five pounds of honey, and others of his neighbors had dif ferent articles carried away from their prem ises from time to time. Mrs. Geo. Wilson, who resides on her farm, about two and a half miles above Petersburg, seems to have suffered more frequently than any of her neighbors from the visits of the thieves, who carried off her property by the wholesale. In order to pro tect herself she solicited a young man named Shively to remain in her house at night. At a late hour on the night before New Year's the inmates of Mrs. Wilson's house were disturbed by a noise in the neighborhood of the smoke house, and on looking out they observed a man going from the smoke-house towards a strip , of woods near to it. Young Shively, who had previously loaded his gun for use in case of emergency, caught up that weapon, and start ed in the direction of the fleeing man, calling upon him to stop. llis commands for a halt not h..!ing, complied with, he brought his gun to hit shonlder and fired. At the moment the shot vas fired the thief was in the act of climb ing the fence, and from which lie fell to the opposite side. Upon going to the place a large quantity of blood was observed, but the man was no where to be seen, having succeed ed in making his escape, but a ham of meat stolen from the smoke house of Mrs. Wilson was lying beside the fence, evidently dropped by the thief when lie was struck by the ball from young Shively's rifle. A short distance further on a quantity of honey was found, which Mrs. Wilson recognized as her property. Up to this time no clue has been obtained to the unlucky thief, but if he was dangerously wounded his identity is only a matter of time. As long as young Shively.is doing guard duty the thieves will consult their own welfare by giving the premises over which he has surveil since a wide berth.

THOMPSON.—On the 2d of December, 1873, at Mooresville, this county, Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of James Thompson, aged 43 years, 11 months and 21 days. She was converted and united with the M. E. Church at Mooresville during the pastorate of Rev. J. A. Melick, in December of 1857. Mrs. Thomp son's home was a joy to her own family, as it al ways was to her pastor and friends. She receiv ed her guests with a quiet, yet cheerful welcome that seemed to forget the extra care and labor of entertaining them. She was happiest when her willing hands were serving moat those whom she most loved best. Her religious life was not dem onstrative, but exemplary throughout; her quiet, cheerful trust in God became in her last hours full of assurance and was blessedly triumphant. Dur ing her severe illness she enjoyed the constant ministry of an affectionate husband and devoted family, until her peaceful quiet spirit returned to the "rest that remaineth to the people of God." The afflicted family have the sympathy of the church and community in this their deep sorrow C. New Advertisements.

Our success in filling the wants of those wanting an outside covering is not one luck, bs of study, constant inquiry and long experience in the making as well as selling these garments. No part of our house requires such untiring watchfulness, no kind of merchandise is so worthless when out of style as a cloak—no department is more active in the season of selling. The materials used this season are Diagonals, in various widths, Mateliaise, Fur Black Beavers, Silk Matelasses and Plain Silks ; also, a rough-faced material called Camel's Hair, which is new, bat not very pleasing to the eye. The articles used for Trimmings are Velvet, Gros Grain, Grass Fringe, Fancy Gimps and Braids. As to shapes, the new things are of the Mantle order, but with a sleeve much store °metastable anti yielding than garments of this charact;:r have been heretofore; the general effect, too, is moors wane ful and pleasing. The Sacque, though, retains its old popularity, and is bound to be the leader with the majority. In shape it differs but little from last season. CHILDREN'S CLOAKS, from the smallest size up, bare our best attention. They are made of Blue and Brown Beaver, Matelasse and Fancy Cloths, and cost from $4.00 upward. The great variety of styles, materials, colors and weights w lute l in a Shawl for different seasons and occasions, requires a most extensive stock to be able to suit even a usajollity of eonaumetn. We are in condition now to suit more than a majority, baying the greatest collection of staples, as well as novelties, in this line ever shown in Philadelphia—including even the rich fabsics of India, where years are otten occupied in producing one Shawl. No department has received more personal attention than the Shawls, the buyer having visited Europe during the summer, and not only bought very largely of ready-made, but ordered made many styles which could not be procured utherwie.
