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.

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

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,

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.

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

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;

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

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.
