Our young friend, Hoary ll'Cahan pulls the ribbons on a very handsome and lively step ping bay mare ; the gayest looking roadster in the town. Our distinguished townsman, Hon. R. M • Speer, was complimented, along with a score of other gentlemea, by a nomination for United States Senator. Another slight sprinkle of the "beautiful" fell on Friday night, just enough to cause the services of the shovel brigade to be called in to requisition Express messenger K. M. King, has been housed for several days past by a severe at tack of rheumatism. Hope he may soon be on his pins again The Bedford county soldiers tarried in this place a few hours, when on their way to liar risburg on Monday night. They are a jolly set of follows. Dr. Aubrey Crewitt, who drove in a sleigh from Robertsdale to this place, on Tuesday last, reports the sleighing tip-top, with the road-bed as smooth as glass. We want every friend of the JOURNAL in the count• to send us the name of a new cash subscriber. Tire thing can be done without any trouble. Try it, friends. A young mother must have some rest. But how is this to be accomplished, when the baby is restless and cries constantly? Simply by using Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. Railroad employes are notified by posters, stuck up in prominent places along the road, that henceforth no passes will be issued to them except on official business. During the past week or ten days Rev. B. F. Riddle, of the First M. E. church, has held a series of evening meetings in that building. We have not heard what success crowned hi s efforts. "The Electric" a new cigar manufactured expressly for the JOUR AL 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 liberal home advertiser—the man who sustains his home press in every reasonable way—is the liberal dealer and the one to pur case from. Examine the columns of the JOUR NAL before purchasing. We vote for the next State Fair being held at Altoona. The Mountain City has the facilities to entertain the crowd, and her citizens will spare no pains or expense to give visitors a hearty welcome. If you want to get the worth of your money buy your segars at the JOURNAL Store, where none but the best in market are kept for sale. The two-for-five sold here are equal to half the five cent segars in the market. Our kind and liberal-hearted friend. D. Blair esq., has stored fifteen tons of bituminous coal at Henry Jr Co.'s wharf to be distributed to the needy poor of the town. Application for coal must be made to Mrs. D. Blair. Johnstown, according to the Tribune, has a number of blood drinkers. They drink it for the cure of pulmonary diseases, for which it is highly recommended. We look upon the cure as being worse than the disease. We had the pleasure of intertwining digits with our friend, Dr. J. C.

Any parson who wishes to feed tue part ridges during this inclement weather, can pro cura the grain by calling on Messrs. Fisher & Sons, who have signified their willingness to furnish gratuitously all that may be needed for this purpose. A contemporary suggests, as a wise precau tion; that rooms should be aired two or three times a day during cold weather, as it is generally after a period of tightly-closed doors and windows that diphtheria and scarlet fever are the most virulent. Street Commissioner Miller deserves a vote of thanks for the handsome manner in which he cleared the crossings of the immense quantity of the "beautiful" which covered them last week. "Honesty" understands his duty and discharges it promptly. Huntingdon was not largely represented at the inauguration of Gov. Hoyt on Tuesday last. Chairman J. G. Isenberg, esq., went down on Monday afternoon, iu time to be present to "trip the light fantastic toe" at the grand ball given on that evening. A young man named John Nlaguire an em ploye at the new blast furnace, in Johnstown, had one of his feet torn off by the fall of several tons of ore on that member, on Tuesday of last week. He had only been in the employ of the company since the previous Sunday. It is claimed that Lewistown has the finest common school buildings in the Juniata Val ley.

R. R., wined and dined its late Superintendent, S. M. Prevost, at the Arandale House on the evening of the 10th inst. A number of distinguished persons were present and took part in the enjoyable affair. A shooting-match for one of the mammoth turkies noticed in these columns last week, came off on the fair grounds, on Saturday afternoon. The turkey was won by Wm. Hasting who made a ptring, at. sixty yards distance, off-hand, which .measured 11 inches. Fancy job work a specialty at the JOURNAL Job Rooms. We have secured the services of one of the best job printers in the interior of the State, and are prepared to'd . o all kinds of printing in the highest style of the art, and at the lowest living figures. Send along your orders. We would like to have a correspondent in every township in this county who would fur nish us the news of their respective neighbor hood. We don't want them to tell us about Mr. IL's moustache, or Mr. J.'s silk hat, but we want them to give us such news as will interest the general reader. The Mifflin county court house, which has been undergoing some needed repairs and im provements during the past few months, has been completed and turned over to the COM missioners ; and a few days ago it was re dedicated by the Judges and lawyers making remarks appropriate to the occasion. We learn incidentally that a very distress ing case of drowning occurred near Nossville, one day this week. Mr. A. L. Parson's family had made a hole in the ice on the run near the house, to procure water to wash, and a little daughter going for water, fell in and was drowned. When found her feet were sticking out of the hole.—Orbisonia Leader.

A The rich tramp, dotionLiniaptiiv4ektOolat- NAL, is still in the Bedford . cetintiyAlme-house , where he sniffers from the effattrOrthe* freez ing he got. The flesh hap fallen from. his lower limbs, and the probabilities are that they will have to be amputated: .Wh r y a mein worth five or six thou4n,cf d(?lliti•s, would re main in a stable until nearly frozen ,to death is a mystery. One of the numereuss half starved dogs that prowl about the town', watching an oppor tunity to steal whatever will satisfy their hunger, made a raid on the pile of hams in front of York's grocery store, on Tuesday morn ing, and succeeded in getting a large piece torn out of one of them before he was detected. A barn well sprinkled with strychnine would be the proper thing to set before these pests. She came down like a thousand brick, and a poetical exchange notices the mishap thusly : Not a groan was heard, not a shriek nor a shout, as her feet flew out from under, but she looked to see that no man was about and then she—yelled like thunder. The legs of her stockings were red and blue, and the stripes run round and round 'em ; her gum elastics were broken in two, and a small boy found 'em. This item is going the rounds of the press and we give it for what it is worth : "Any soldier who may have lost his discharge from the late war can procure a."certificate in lieu of discharge," which is substantially the same, by making application to the Adjutant General of the army war department, Washington, D. C. It is not necessary to apply to a claim agent, or any person else, but make applica tion direct." James North & Son, of Patterson, have been doing an unprecedented business the last few weeks. For the last thirty days they have received an average of 300 bushels grain daily. Since the new year, they have taken in 1500 bushels cloverseed. On Tuesday, at least twenty sleds were at the warehouse at one time. We noticed among them teams from Huntingdon county, and as far cast as Rich field.—Juniata Tribune. ;,,The time of the Court has been taken up since the middle of last week in trying the case of Elijah White against the Pennsylvania Canal Company for damages, resulting from negligence on the part of the company in not keeping the canal in proper repair. A very large number of witnesses were examined which necessarily consumed a great deal of time. The jury found a verdict in favor of tha plaintiff for about $1,200. A similar case is on trial as we go to press. And now the editor of the Altoona :Mirror is promised a libel suit by Jonah Boughton, the temperance worker, who alleges that that paper grossly libeled him when it charged him with profane swearing and im bibing some of the "crathur" behind the cur tains in the opera house in that city, We wish brother Buckingham a safe deliverance. Characters that have to he made before a Court and jury are not, as a general thing, worth very much, and will not stand washing• The postmaster-general issues the following notice : "Owing to the rapid increase in the mails, and the establishment of many new post-offices throughout the country, this de. partment finds it necessary, in order to secure a speedy transmission of the heavy mails now passing, particularly over the trunk lines of railroads, to request the public that in all cases the name of the County as well as the post_ office and State, be superscribed upon letters, newspapers and other matter forwarded by Down in Carlisle, duriug the intensely cold weather of two weeks ago, a brute, wearing the semblance of humanity, induced a little boy, named Masonheitner, to apply hi tongue to a fire-plug, where it froze in an instant, and held the poor child until a gentleman came and applied warm water. The little fellow's tongue was painfully injured, great chunks of flesh adhering to the iron. The semindrel who was the cause of the child's suffering should have been tied to a lamo-post and lashed with raw-hides until his flesh quivered with prfin. We understand that our old friend, Mr. Benjamin Jacob, has leased the large store room in Leister's building, now occupied by Samuel March, with a view to starting a first class clothing and furnishing store in the Spring. The new establishment will be con ducted by Harry Cohen and Joe Jacob, son-in law and son of the proprietor. Both of these gentlemen have had considerable experience in the clothing trade, and are fully competent to take charge of the extensive establishment it is Mr. Jacob's intention to start. Ile has the necessary amount of "usufruct" to strut the enterprise. The Court ails been brought to a sudden halt on Thursday morning by the non-appear ance of Wilson Houck, one of the jurors in in the case pending. It turned out that Mr . Houck had gone on a jamboree after the ad journment on Wednesday night, and Thurs day morning found him in no condition to take his seat in the jury box. After issuing a Bench Warrant for his arrest Judge Dean ad jourped the Court until 2 o'clock. Mr. Ilouck was brought into Court and after listening to a lecture from Judge Dean he was fined $2OO and his name ordered to be stricken from the jury wheel. A counterfeit five-dollar gold piece is in circulation. It is gold on the outside, is full weight, and rings well. It is a little defective in the milling, and the S initial fot San Fran cisco Mint, is imperfect, yet the imitation is good, and on'y an expert is able to detect the counterfeit from the genuine. If you will call at the JOURNAL Store and pay 60 cents Tor one of the patent counterfeit coin detectors for sale there,you will never be defrauded by taking bogus coin. They are perfect detectors and no business man should be without one in this day of counterfeiting. They arc nickel plated, and besides being useful they arc also ornamental. The Scientific American says : As every physician knows, it is no uncommon thing f o r adults to have diphtheria so mildly that it is mistaken for an ordinary sore throat result ing from cold ; yet such a person can easily infect a child, and the child become a centre of malignant infection. In view of the fatal prevalence of diphtheria, therefore, the kissing of a child upon the mouth by a person with a sore throat is hazardous, if not criminal ; and scarcely less so is the practice of allowing children to kiss their ailing playmates. It would be wise to exercise great caution in this matter, if not to discontinue the practice of kissing upon the mouth altogether. Mr. S. J. Nooglar, in the Sunbury Gazette, gives the following cure for rheumatism : "The following infallible remedy for rheumatism was bought from a traveling physician for S3O. It has been long in my possession, and I now publish it for the benefit of the afflicted : One ounce sweet elder blows, one ounce sage, one ounce sassafras root bark, one ounce juniper berries, one ounce American sarsaparilla, two ounces double tansy, one-And a half pints of cold, soft water. Dose one table spoonful before and after each meal, one ditto in the middle of the forenoon and afternoon, and one on retiring to bed. Take one fourth of a table spoonful of Epsom salts, and one fourth ditto of cream of tartar mixed in any kind of syrup before retiring, avoid excitement, get plenty of sleep, and continue for two weeks." A FORMER CITIZEN DIES OF LOCK JAW.—In last week's issue of the JOrRNAL we announced that Emory Leahhart, a former resident of this place, had had one of his hands terribly mutilated in one of the planing mills at Williamsport. Since then we have learned further particulars. It seems that he was engaged in running one of the many labor saving Machines found in a mill cf this kind, and by some means his left hand came in con tact with the keen edge of the tool he was using, severing three fingereand a portion of his thumb. Ile was taken to his residence and his wounds dressed by the attending phy sician, and for several days was getting along finely, with fair prospects of a speedy recov ery. About one week after the accident the pain in his hand began to increase, and con tinued to do so until symptoms of lock jaw manifested themselves. All that medical skill could suggest was done to alleviate his suf fering, but with no avail ; he continued to grow worse until Saturday night when death came to his relief. Ills remains were brought to this place on Monday evening last and ta ken to the residence of his father-in law, Mr. Adam Schmeramund, from which place they were interred on Tuesday afternoon. The de ceased was aged about 27 years, and leaves a wife and one child to mourn his early death. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.—Las t week the Grand Jury presented the following to the court : The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth of Pensylvania for the County of Huntingdon, at January Sessions, 1879, respectfully report : That as a Grand Inquest they visited the public buildings of the county, and suggest the immediate repair of the wall of the County Jail yard, it being iu its present condition no security for the safe keeping of prisoners. Also, the early repair of the cistern in use at the Jail. They suggest either considerable repair or the rebuilding of the barn in use at the Coun ty Alms House at Shirleysburg. The man agement of the Steward in charge is entirely satisfactory. The walls and floors of the Alms House are kept in good condition. The inmates are well provided with good food and clothing arc kept clean, and appear to be well taken care of in all respects. They report the inside management as specially well conduct ed, and all county property there is care fully protected by the persons in charge. Signed by Wm. Africa, Foreman, and twen ty other jurymen. THE NEW PENITENTIARY.—The sub committee appointod to negotiate for the pur chase of the lots necessary to complete the penitentiary site, have finished their labors, and are now ready to hand over to the Com mission all the deeds, titles and papers, which they will do on Taesday of next week. They have also obtained releases from the persons through whose premises the branch railroad will run, so that that part of the work can be commenced as soon as the weather will per mit. Our people have done all they promised to do, and in the face of the "hard times,'' they have done remarkably well. THE Well known Sportsman, Harry Hamilton, 132 West 31st street, N.

For sale by John Read Sons, DENTAL MATTERS —MEETING OF THE CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA DENTAL SOCIETY.—The semi-annual meeting of the Central Pennsyl vania Don ..iociely met iu the lodge room of I. 0. 0. P., in Huntingdon, January 15 and 113. The President, Dr. W. B. Miller, of Altoona, ou taking the chair delivered a very interesting address on the progress the society had made since its organization, the good will and fellowship of the dentists in Central Pennsylvania, and the future prospects of the society in helping to a higher standpoint of knowledge and skill all those who arc seeking to rise and become proficient in the practice of the profession they have chosen. After the transaction of the business of the society and the examination of Dr. Heighold, of Clearfield, and Dr. Ceissiuger, of Bellefonte, and the election to membership in the society, the stated subjects were taken up in order and very fully discussed. 1. 13 the new departure a step forward in the practice of dentistry? 2. Does mechanical dentistry receive the attention it should front the educated portion of the profession.. 3. Is replanting and transplanting; of teeth compatible with the principles of physiology? 4. Does Dr. Farrar's screw power or pOsi tive method possess any advantage over pro cesses formerly used. Each of the above were taken up and thoroughly discussed. The fourth was continued for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the method as some of the society are trying it and wish to report results in their own hands. From the question box were taken the fol lowing : '"What is the most effectual method of removing tartar from teeth ?" During the discussion of this question the horrible prac tice of some dentists, and even members of the society, in using acid for that purpose was developed. It was manifest that it was the Lind of nearly all that the man who could be guilty of such practice was either ignorant of the laws of dental physiology and pathology, or he cared ino-e for money than the good of his patients and the permanent saving of their teeth. Al! the questions discussed elicited consid erable information. With the above was dis- cussed 1. What is the best method or treating teeth whose masticating surfaces have become abraded of enamel and are sensitive to the :ouch, or in eating ? 2. What is the best material for separating eetli for filling, by pressure and the means of application ? 3. What amalgam gives the best results as a filling for teeth ? 4. What is inflammation ? 5. When the half of a crown of a central incision is broken off horizontally, what is the most practical treatment, the subject being thirteen years The interchange of views upon these sub jects is very beneficial to the dentist whc is striving to faithfully discharge his (WV. The clinic of Dr. Robb with soft foil was performed on Thursday morning, Dr. Ilam ilton's with cohesive foil was postponed until the next meeting of the society on account of present physical disability.

All were de lighted with their trip to Huntingdon. J. C. M. HAumoN, Sec'y. Tyrone, January IG, 1879. NAnnow ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.— Rev. F. B. Rogerson, pastor of the West Huntingdon M. E. Church, made a very narrow escape from death, by drowning, on Friday last. On that day he started out to shoot wild ducks, which were reported to be harbor ing in the river between this place and the upper dam, about two miles west of town. Having shot and killed one a short distance above what is known as "Fishers' dam," he continued on up the river as far as the upper dam, and being on the opposite side of the river he concluded to cross over to this side for the purpose of returning home. As the dam was covered with ice, and he and Mr. Bob Allen had safely crossed over it a few days previous, he confidently started for this side. When about one-third the way across the ice broke and he went in to his arms pits, and had it not been for his presence of mind to extend his arms and keep them in that position, he would have went entirely under the ice, which, as a matter of course, would have resulted in his death. As the ice gave way and let him down he still retained hold of his gun which assisted in keeping him from slipping under the ice. In his efforts to extricate himself from Lis perilous position he attempted to crawl out upon the ice, but as often as be tried to do so it gave way under his weight, and not until he had broken the ice for a considerable distance, and had almost given up hope of rescuing himself, did he reach ice sufficiently strong to admit of his crawling out upon it. The dam has been frozen over since the cold weather set in, and as a general thing the ice which covers its deep and sluggish waters is the thickest and strongest found on any of our waters. It is covered with considerable snow, and Mr. Rogerson thinks that the snow had the effect of rendering the ice brittle and insecure. Our friend made a eery narrow escape from a watery grave, and we imagine that some time will intervene ere he again attempts to cross over a stream on the ice. WORTH REMEMB .RIND.—Some one who seems to know about the relation of a good newspaper to the family writes that the strong attachment of subscribers to well conducted newspapers is fully confirmed by publishers. "Stop my paper," words of dread to beginners in business, lose their terrors after a paper has been established for a term of years. So long as a paper pursues a just, honorable and judicious course, meeting the wants of its custcrners in all respects, the ties of friendship between the subscribers and the paper are as hard to break by an outside party as the link which binds old friends in business or in social life. Occasional defects and errors in a newspaper are overlooked by those who have become attached to it, through its perusal, for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it ; but the absence of the familiar sheet at their homes and offices for weeks becomes an insupportable privation, and they hasten to take it again, and possibly apologize fur having it stopped. No friendship on earth is more constant than that contracted by a reader for a journal which makes an honest and earnest effort to merit its continued sup port. Hence a conscientiously conducted newspaper becomes a favorite in a family. A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE.— About a week or ten days ago the Supreme Court of this State filed au Opinion in regard to the wife's dower in the lands of a bankrupt, and for the benefit of those who may be interested in such matters, we give the main points of the same : "A widow's right of dower commences with her marriage. It is held so sacred a right that judgment, recogizance, mortgage or any other ineumbrance whatever, made by the husband after the marriage cannot, at common law, af fect her right of dower; even the King's debt can not affect her. Dower is a legal, or equit able and a moral right. It is favored in a high degree by law, and next to life and liberty, held sacred." 26094 r; Go and see the New Eastlake designs in GILT WALL PAPER for 1879, fresh from New York, at P.,rowu's Carpet Store. FATAL ACCIDENT TO THOMAS W. NEL !iON IN THE RAILROAD YAP.D.—Yesterday after noon about half-past live o'clock the freight train upon which Thomas W. Nelson was a brakeman arrived in the yard at the lower end and Nelson was detailed to cut ol3the cars . lie was engaged in this work and had stepped back from his train to another truck, and was struck by an engine approaching backward. Ile was thrown to the ground and the whecla passed over his left leg, almost the whole length of it, breaking the bones in innumera ble pieces. The bed of the engine was not ringing and the unfortunate man had no warn. big of the approach of the engine, as his at tention was entirely devoted to the work in which he was engaged. The engineer evident ly did not see him, as he kept on his way without stopping. The accident was witnessed by a workman in the shops who ran to the assistance of the injured man. The alarm having been given a stretcher was quickly brought and he was carried to the office of Drs. Fay and Ross. On arrival there the clothing was cut from his limbs and his inju ries examined. The thigh was broken about nine inches from the hip and dislocated at the hip-joint. The jagged end of the bone had torn its way through the flesh, of the leg and through his pants. The left leg was nothing but a shapeless mass 'of torn flesh and broken bone. The right foot was also injured but a brief examination convinced the physicians that nothing could be done to save the victim'i life and their attention was directed to sooth ing his last moments. He was conscious and was informed of his fate. Ile seemed ready to go, the only regret to which be gave ex pression was at leaving behind him his widow ed mother and his sisters whose support lie was. 11c was surrounded by acquaintances and friends much of-the night. About mid night his condition began to improve but he was too seriously injured fur the reaction to be of any benefit and he was not worried by any useless operation. lie lingered until about half-past eight this morning when he peacefully breathed his last. --Altoona Mirror, of Monday. ACCIDENT AND I)EATII.—•Just as we were ready for press last Friday morning, news reached us of the serious accident which happened to John Pressler, of Mill Creek, this county, at Bell's Mills, Blair county, the pre vious evening, while working with some of the cars belonging to the train on which he was employed as a brakeman. Mr. Pressler was about 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and four or five children to mourn his shock ing death. We are indebted to the Altoona Tribune of Friday last for the particulars of the accident: It appears that it is the custom to take on coal for the engines at Bell's Mill's, and it is usually done without stopping the train. The engine is cut off at a sufficient distance from the coal wharf, and the train is allowed to run at such a rate of speed as will bring it to the engine about the time the necessary coal has been taken on. It was while withdrawing a bolt to cut the train for this purpose yesterday that Pressler was hurt. By some means he fell to the ground, and after the first freight car passed over him he seized hold of the second one and was dragged some distance before the train was stopped. The unfortunate man was extricated, and it was found that his arm had been torn off near the shoulder—the stump being taken out at the shoulder joint afterward ; he bad received a cut two and a half inches long on the top of his bead : a gash over the eye'and bad a hole knocked in his upper jaw. A company's physi cian from Altoona, assisted by Drs. Clark and Thompson, of Bell's Mills dressed the wound ed man's injuries. PAID rot?, THEIR SPORT.—Daring the deer-hunting season which ended on the 15th of December last, a party of five Morrison's Core sportsmen started out for deer. If they had hulled in the usual way this item would never have been written; blieltbey took some dogs with them, land the law prohibits the running of deer with dogs at any time during the year. The result was that several were witnesses to the violation of the law in ques tion and information was made against the eager sportsmen. One result of the examine tion instituted was the discovery that one of the offenders was a minister. The party had killed five deer and no one boasted more of Lhe first deer' Le ever killed than did this preacher. A few days ago, however, the case against the sportsmen was settled by their payment of $ll5. They congratulated them selves that the bill was not greater, but $23 each for deer makes very dear venison. ; In consideration of the payment of the $ll5 the six indictments which had been prepared were withdrawn.— Altoona Mirror. A CERTAIN Iib:ADAGES CUR.E.—If you suffer from sick or nervous headache, morning sick ness or neuralgia, go to your druggist and get a ten cent trial pack of Dr. Heisley's Victor Headache Powders, or J.' R. Heisley k, Co., Salem, N. J., will mail them post paid. A sin gle powder actually cures the most distress ing cases in ten minutes. It is purely vege table, entirely harmless, a physician's discov er• and we guarantee it to do all we claim. You can get the 50 cent packs or the 10 cent trial size at J. H. Black & Co. in Huntingdon, and at all other first-class druggists every where. Convince yourself. [jan26-ly BENEFACTORS.—When a board of emi nent physicians and chemists announced the discovery that by combinink souse well known valuable remedies, the most wonderful medi cine was produced, which would cure such a wide range of diseases that most all otber remedies could be dispensed with, many were sceptical; but proOf of its merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the discoverers of that great medicine, Flop Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as benefactors.
