The sun shone brightly on Sunday, but the air was cold and biting. Horses are suffering from "epizooty " in the eastern counties of the State. Promisory, judgment and exemption notes for sale at the JOURNAL Store. Pickpockets and sneak thieves drove a lively trade at the inauguration. The bustle is once more coming into favor with the fashionables of society. Township and borough officers should pre pare their accounts for publication. In the near future a bridge will span the Juniata at or near the - Cottage planing mill. The cheapest and handsomest Toilet Setts in the county can be had at the JOURNAL Store Meetings are being nightl37 held in the Pres byterian, Methodist, and West Huntingdon churches. A down-the-river contemporary prefixes the title of General to our townsman, Hon. R. Milton Speer. K. M. King, esq., who has been housed for a week or two by a severe attack of rheumatism, is out again. Sixteen new converts united themselves with the Presbyterian church, at Lewistown, on Sunday a week ago. Our young friend, D. S. Black, who has been spending several weeks in Baltimore re turned home on Friday last. The handsomest paper, for making wall pockets, in town, all colors and styles, just re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. Every mother-in-law should recommend Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup for her grand-children and thus keep peace in the family. Rev. Rogerson, who has been indisposed for several days, is convalescing and again able to attend to his clerical duties. The almanac maker missed it terribly when he predicted that Thursday and Friday last would be the coldest days of the year. The clerk of the elements has got his senses about him once more, and for several day s past has given us some capital weather. The Cresson branch railroad which has been snowed up for a month or six weeks past, was opened to trade and travel on Friday last. Boston women carry small canes, in imita tion of Princess Louise. Will any Hun tingdon women inaugurate this silly fashion ? The wife of our old friend, Isaac Fisher, fell upon the icy sidewalk, on Thursday of last week, and broke her right arm near the wrist. The Altoonians are holding what they call "Dashaway Temperance Meetings," and in the language of Gen. Grant are "pushing things." The wind blew a perfect hurricane on Satur day afternoon and evening, but we have heard of no damage resulting from the freaks of old Boreas. Pennsylvania railroad trainmen are to have new overcoats , regulation pattern. Wanamaker & Brown have the contract for their manu- facture, The new Fountain Pen, to be bad at the JOURNAL Store, is just the thing for persons to use who have much writing to do. Only 25 cents. If the "bsck•bone" of winter is really "broken," we hope that there will be no weather doctors found sufficiently skilled to mend it. From the Auditor General's Report we learn that $2,500 have been expended by the Middle Penitentiary Commission up to the 30th of November. The Centre Democrat has failed to reach this print shop for several weeks past. Why is this thus ? Have you cut our acquaintance , gentlemen ? Eve!: housekeeper should have a bottle of "Van St :u's Stratena Cement." It is the best in the market, and costs only 25 cents at the JOURNAL Store. For a fact the almanac says that ground bog day comes on the 2d of February, and Sunday next being that day, look "a leedle out" for his hogship. Our jovial and clever friend, Col. A.B. Con ningnam, of Philadelphia, crossed the JOURNAL threshold on Wednesday, but was too busy to tarry any length of time. The "irrepressible" Col. Jim Milliken, form" erly of Hollidaysburg, which place he left be tween suns, is now practicing law in Dom Pedro's court down in Egypt. Old hunters predict that small game wilTbe very scarce next season, on account of the very severe weather of this winter, much of it having been starved and frozen to death. Up in Blair county the temperance people are moving. It is proposed to get up petitions asking the court to refuse license to any per son in that county for tte period of one year. Always keep the bottle bandy, Do not place it out of sight, For it cured our little Andy, Who was coughing day and night. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. "The Electric" a new cigar manufactured expressly for the JOUUNALL trade, is the best in the market, and lovers of the weed are loud in its praise. Everybody smokes it, and they love it. A writer in the Tinge Advocate says that '•the engineer that surveyed Altoona must have been drunk, or else got lost in the woods and threw away his compass in his anxiety to get out for dinner." Our old-time and clever friend,Eli Plummer, esq., dropped in to see us on Friday last and received our autograph to a receipt for the payment of subscription to "the handsomest and best paper iu the county." If you want to get the %yore. of your meney 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 fire cent segars in the market. The dog poisoner is at work in Philipsburg, and already some valuable canines have passed in their checks. A reward of one hundred dollars has been offered for the arrest and con viction of the guilty party or patties. Van Stan's Stratena Cement at the JOURNAL Store. The best in the market for mending all kinds of articles, from the tiniest piece of china to a sett of harness. Only 25 cts. per bottle. Every family should have a bottle. The request of our friend in Tod township reached us too late for us to comply with hi s wishes, but he will observe that we dealt leniently and briefly with the matter referred to. We felt more like pitying than censuring. It is now about time that the snow and ice be taken off the sixth street pavements between Penn and Church streets. Pedestrians manage to wade through this thoroughfare with diffi culty, and the nuisance should be abated at once. The colored citizens of Altooaa have or ganized a new band. For its size we think Altoona can turn out more and better bands than any other place of the same population in the State. They have an ear for music up there. If you want something neat and attractive get your Sale Bills printed at' the JOURNAL office. We have superior facilities for doing this kind of work, and our prices are as low as the lowest. Call and see specimens and bear prices. We understatid that Superintendent Gage is having a telephone erected between his office and the shops across the river, and that in a little while it will be completed when tel ephonic communication will be had between these points. A large deer was captured recently by a couple of Blair county men. Its legs had been severely cut by breaking through the hard crust which had formed on the snow, and it was so near played out that it made no re sistance to its capture. A tramp, dirty and impudent, hung. about the corner of Fifth and Washingtbn for a couple of days this week, a terror to women and children. The services of a policeman bad to be called into requisition before lie would consent to move. , 'Shernsan's March to the Sea," will be de. picted by the eloquent and brave Gen. Kil patrick, in the Opera House, in this place, on Friday evening, February 7th. No person should fail to hear this lecture, and we expect to see the hall packed full to overflowing. The remains of Jacob Ernerick - , who was killed on the railroad, near this place, on the 15th inst., were interred near Warriorsmark, on. the 18th inst., and were escorted to the grave by a number of veteran soldiers and a detachment of the Sheridan Cavalry of Tyrone. "Dr." M'Bride, who a few years ago traveled th e country in a flashy wagon, selling patent medicines, and who will be remembered by many of our readers as the "King of Pain' , who held forth in the Diamond in this place, oa two or three occasions, died in Chicago last week. Mrs. Judge Clarkson, of Cassville, will de liver a lecture in the M. E. Church, in this place, on Friday evening, 31st iust., under the auspices of the Ladies' District Foreign Nils sibn Society. Mrs. Clarkson is a lady of fine ability, and her lecture will be interesting. Go acid hear her. Owing to the snow blockade of the Cresson branch railroad, which prevented M'Pike from getting his new press and other material to Ebensburg, the Freemaa failed to appear in promised new dress and enlarged form Last week. But the improvement is promised in the sweet by-and-by. The remains of J. Edgar Crowley, who re sided near Mt. Union, were interred in the Catholic cemetery, in this place, on Friday last. We understand that four members of Mr. Crowley's family have died during the past six months, and that one or two more of them are in very bad health. The disease is con sumption. Five hundred persons listened to Murphy's temperance lecture in this place, on Thursday night. While Murphy is doing an immense amount of good by his temperance work, he has a very good thing for b iinself when he ropes in $5O to $250 for each "talk" on temperance. Who wouldn't "'enthuse" and talk temperance at these figures ? We see it stated in several of our exchanges that at the coming Spring election voters will have to select three assessors, a Triennial Assessor and two Assistant Assessors. The Triennal Assessor will enter upon his duties on the first of April next, and the assistants in the fall. Heretofore it has been customary to elect them one year ahead,but this decision is according to the act of 1875. The Altoona Daily Tribune entered upon its fourth volume on Monday last, and although its enterprising editors did not find it a bo nanza they announce that it did the past year more than they had expected of it—it paid expenses. The Tribune is bright, sparkling and newsy, and should yield its proprietors a handsome profit for the labor and care they bestow upon it. Long live the Tribune. D. P. Gwin, esq., who has spent twenty odd years ,n the mercantile business, iu this place, has sold out his stock, shut up shop and retired to private life, having accumulated a sufficient quantity of this world's goods to enable him to do so. Mr. Sam. March has rented the stand formerly occupied by Mr. Gwin, and in the course of a few weeks will open a first class clothing and furnishing store. Brother Cornman, of the Carlisle Mirror, must be an exception to the general average of poor poverty-stricken country newspaper editors, else he would not talk thusly : "Quarter eagles are so near the size of pennies, and half eagles so closely resemble in size and color bright two-cent pieces, that a purse especially for gold coin now becomes necessary to guard against the occurrence of such costly mistakes." It is high time that a move be made towards the nomination of a ticket to be voted for at the approaching February election. Don't put the matter off until the night before the election, as is generally the case, and on elec_ term day have everybody at sea in regard to the matter, not knowing for whom to vote. Put up a good ticket, in time, so that voters will know what they are doing. Let this matter be attended to at once. As the season of the year is at hand when people, who have been unfortunate enough to have frosted their feet during the cold weather will suffer from the intense itching of these members, we publish the following recipe for their benefit : Dissolve a lump of alum in a little warm water and bathe the part with it, at the same time warming the part affected before the fire. It is said one or two applica tions are sure to give relief. A well-executed counterfeit five dollar gold piece has already made its appearance in some of the eastern counties of this ',State. In this community there has not been enou,gh of the genuine in circulation to warrant the intro duction cif the counterfeit pieces, but it may be as well to take a second look if any are offered in the way of business, or what is better come to the JOURNAL Store and pay GO cents for the patent counterfeit coin detector. This, from an exchange, if true, will be of benefit to possessors of meerschaum pipes, and will save them considerable time and money in their efforts to color them. The paper says: "The bowl of a meerschaum may be colored in fire nitottes, by. first tiotit,,, it with a solution of nitrate o i-ilver in ether ^•::1 alcohol, to which essence of roses of camphor are added. Figures of any pattern are pro duced by the beat of the tobacco, and when produced are permanent. The Philadelphia. Times, of Tuesday last has this to say : The State Commission on the Penitentiary for the Middle District of Penn sylvania met yesterday at the office of Colon() Charles Thomson Jones, one of the members of that body. It was decided to go ahead with the work of preparing the reservoir for the water supply at Huntingdon, but no furthei• operations were authorized on account of a lack of appropriation by the Legislature. The commission meet again in Harrisburg next week. To show that the skill and superior work , manship of Mr. J. K. P. Lightcap, the gentle man who now has charge of our Jobbing De partment, are fully appreciated by those who know him, it is only necessary for us to state that large orders are coming to us for job work from the old home of Mr. Lightcap. We have one of the best appointed Job Offices be tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and now that a master workman presides over it, we are prepared to do all kinds of printicg in a style second to none in the State and at prices to suit the times. Commercial printing a specialty. An exchange says: Mechanics and material men should be careful about doing work or furnishing material on the separate real estate of married women, unless receiving pay in advance as to secure them from the necessity of filing liens. The Supreme Court interprets the law as very strictly limiting the powers of =tried women, and expresses the opinion that it is sincerely to be hoped that "neither by construction nor legislation will their power to contract for improvements to their separate real estate be extended. Married women are thereby looked upon by the Court as being incapable of managing their own affairs, hence this protection. The following, from the Johnstown Tribune, is published for the benefit of those of our readers who are about to give up comfortable situations here for the purpose of trying to better their condition in the west : In Feb ruary last, Mr. Thomas Welfel, of Conemaugh Borough, removed with his family to Kansas, where he bought a farm and settled down to the cultivation of the soil. He was industrious, but fortune seemed to be against him from the start ; and a letter received from him a few days ago, relating the present situation of him self and family, is not calculated to imbue anybody with a desire for "going West." He says that the entire family is sick with the ague ; three of his horses have died ; his crops failed, and his farm, which was nearly paid for at the start, will no doubt soon be taken from him because he cannot meet the balance of the debt or pay interest on it. MURPHY'S LECTURE. — One of the lar gest audiences every seen in Penn Street Hall assembled on Thursday evening of last week, to listen to the temperance talk of Francis Murphy, the great temperance revivalist. A week or two ago we suggested in the JOURNAL that our people should make an effort to get Mr. Murphy to visit our town. Rev. Mr. Hol lifield approved of our suggestion, and at once set to work to negotiate terms with Mr. Mur ohy to visit us and deliver a lecture. His ef forts were successful, and Mr. Murphy was paid S5O for his address. We find in the Altoona Sun, of Saturday last, a description of Mur pby's visit to that city, which is so neatly done and so much better than anything that we could write, that we transfer it to our col- umus Mr. Murphy is a short heavy set man, of scarcely medium height, and in build, step, and f tcial expression shows force of character. Mr. Murphy is an Irishman, and the tribute which he paid to the lovingheart of his moth er was characteristic of•the race of warriors, orators and lovers from which he sprang. No loving soul could sit and see and hear him and doubt his entire devotion to the cause to which he says God has called him. He is es sentially au Irish orator, and he sweeps the chords of tears or mirth at pleasure, not less effectively than did his Irish countryman of old the chords of sympathy and revenge as he sang to his harp the woes of Erin till their hearts bled at the recital and every Irish heart swore vengeance against the oppressor. One of his most eolquent efforts was the descrip tion of the sailing vessel going out to sea—so pure, so true to nature, that when he came to the point where the fair ship, her sails filled with the loving breath of heaven, fanned by the breezes, kissed by the waters and caressed by the sunlight, she grandly mounted the crest of the great wave, his whole body followed the forward motion of his hands and arms and he leaped forward from the stage and gave a realistic effect which is indescribable. It seem ed to us that the very highest homage which an audience can pay to an orator, the homage of silence, was paid him in a marked degree. In many of his descriptions he so wrapped up Lis hearers that there was no thought of cheers, but an intense consideration of the truths the orator had enunciated. HUNTINGDON COUNTY IN ACCOUNT WITH THE STATE.—From the Auditor Gener al's Report for the Escal year ending Novem ber 30, 1878, we cull the following in relation to the business transacted between our county and the Commonwealth during that period : AMOUNT PAID THE STATE Huntingdon & B. T. M.

Murray, costs 7 50 Toronto, Queen City of the Dominion. —The energy of its inhabitants, the beauty of its public buildings, seats of learning, broad and well-regulated thoroughfares, placed on the shores Of Lake Ontario, among the many business firms, none stand more deservedly high than the house of E. Hooper & Co., Phar macists. A rare skill, extensive and long ex perience in the manipulating and compound ing of medicine, and a determination that nothing but pure drugs shall emanate from their establicbment, has carried the firm to the highest pinnacle offinancial success. Giles' Liniment iodide Ammonia and Giles' Pills are by them considered as a most valuable addi tion, and in all cases of enlarged Joints of the Bands and Feet, Neuralgia, Chronic or Inflammatory Rheumatism, superior to any remedy now known. Sold by all druggists. Send for pamphlet, Dr. Giles, 120 West Broadway, N. Y. Trial bottles 25 cents. For sale by John Read & Sons. A CERTAIN HEADACHE CURE.—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. Beisley's Victor Headache Powders, or J. R Heisley & 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 ery 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 JACti3 4 iN ToWNsji -- Some sickness, but as a general thing, good health prevails. Mrs. David Miller, of Little Furnace, is dan • gerously ill with consumption. Greenwood Furnace intends cutting ten thousand cords of wood this season. Mr. J. R. Miller is meeting with success as Professor of the Stone Valley Academy. Abraham liookhamer, mho was accidently shot through the foot, is mending slowly. It is supposed he will always be a cripple. 11. C. Wilson and lady hay( returned from a tour in Ohio, and the western part of this State. Welcome home, and a long life of peace and happiness. McAlevy's Fort has organzed a literary so ciety, in which quite a number of the citizens of our town and vicinity take an active part• A society of this kind has been needed for years in every district. There has been an occasional bop here sways in which most of the yodng folks par ticipated. Also some surprise parties of which it is customary for the ones who are to be surprised to ask a few individuals who are desired as friends. Many of the farmers are done hauling out their grain to market. They took advantage of the good sledding for doing it, but the sled ding, which has been unsurpassed for a fort night, is about gone. I think most of the peo enjoyed it hugely, nd are now awaiting more of the same kind. Rev. Prideaux conducted the services at the Presbyterian church during the communion season. There are a series of meeting to corn mence on the 29th inst., at the U. P. church to be conducted by the pastor, J. M. Adair, assisted by Rev. John Magill, of Tuscarora Valley, formerly of this Valley. In the same church there will he held a Sabbath School Convention, commencing on Monday evening of next week, and continuing until Wednesday evening. There will be two sessions per day, which will be conducted by the United Pres• byterian ministry, supported by Rev. Mr. McA'aster. C. TIIE MIDDLE PENITENTIARY —A bill has been introduced in the House of Repre sentatives providing for an appropriation of $600,000 for the completion of the Middle Penitentiary at Huntingdon. This appropria tion is designed to cover two year's time, and it is said by Wilson Bros., the architects, that by the time the appropriation is exhausted the building will be completed and ready to turn over to the State. It is designed to finish the new building as soon as possible in order to relieve the crowded condition of the East ern and . Western Penitentiaries. Col. Charles Thompson Jones, one of the managers of the Eastern Penitentiary, says he is in constant dread of an epidemic breaking out because of the large number of prisoners in that instita' tion.—Harrisburg Telegraph. THE PENITENTIARY As we go to press, Thursday evening, we understand that Secretary Hart and Counsellor M'Pherson, of the Penitentiary Commission, are in town for the purpose of lifting all deeds and papers relating to the Penitentiary site. It is expected that in the course of a few days work will be commenced on the railroad leading to the site, and in building the reservoir at the spring and laying pipes. From what we have been able to learn this seems to be the programme.

The edition of Scribner in Eng land has doubled within a few months. The London correspondent of the New-York Times says : "The whole lot of magazine annuals (English) put together, are not equal iu pictorial art to a single number of Scribner's Monthly." But the price at which our maga zines are soid is even a greater marvel. For example, a single number of Scribner, "The Midwinter Number," just issued, has a full page frontispiece Portrait of Emerson, of rare excellence, and contains one hundred and sixty pages of letter-press, with more than seventy illustrations ; many of which are works of art such as before the advent of Scribner appeared only in gift-works and pure ly art magazines, and yet it is sold for 35 cents. It would be difficult to find an illustrated book to match it at $5. The subscribers for the current year, get, in Scribner, not only four of these full-paged portraits of American Poets, and nearly two thousand pages of text (equal to 5,000 book pages) of the choicest current literature, with more than 1,000 illus trations, including a completed novel, "Ha worth's," by Mrs. Burnett, but shorter stories , poems, reviews, descriptions of travel, bio graphical sketches, etc., and also the splen did series of papers and pictures of explora tion in the great South American empire of Brazil, delivered free of postage, and all for four dollars. In Children's Periodicals, too, America leads the world with St. Nicholas. Prof. Proctor, the astronomer, writes from London : ' , What a wonderful magazine it is for the young folks I Our children are quite as much delighted with it as American children can be. I will not say they are more delighted, as that may not be possible." St. Nicholas ,is sold for 25 cents a number, and fourteen numbers (November, 1878 to 1880) are given for $3. $8,742 12 $6,987 39 At first glance one would say, literature, art, and cheapness can no further go—but in this country intelligence is so widespread, and artistic culture is so extended, that there is scarcely any end to the demand for such magazines as Scribner's for grown-ups and St• Nicholas for children, and, as the sale of these publications increases their conductors will no doubt continue to add new features of excellence and attraction.

WIDE AWARE for February opens with a piquant frontispiece, "Kiss Me, Katie," drawn for Col. Hayne's poem of that title, by Mary A. Lathbury, who is also illustrating Mrs. Catherwood's cherry serial, "The Dogberry Bunch." Mrs. Lucy Blinn follows with a pathetic valentine story, "Aunt Ruth's Valen tine." "Some Children's Books in Old Times,' , by Sarah Lcring Bailey, is an entertaining account of some old primers, accompanied by several very quaint illustrations. Rev. I. L. Beman has a stirring story which needs no pictures, of "A Pioneer 'Wide Awake.'" Mrs. Clara Doty Bates has a breezy poem, "The Wind's Mistake," with a fine drawing by Miss Humphrey, who also illustrates the beautiful story of "The Red Bird's Secret," by a South ern writer, Tarpley Starr. The second paper in S. G. W. Benjamin's attractive series, "Oar American Artists," describes the pros perous career of A. F. Bellows, and, besides portrait and studio view, gives an exquisitely engraved-copy of one of the painter's delicious New England landscapes. The chapters of "Royal Lowrie's Last year at St. Olave's" in this number are sufficiently exciting to appease the most exacting of school-boys , while they do not picture too strongly the injustice sometimes practiced by big boys at school toward the smaller fellows. Mrs. Lil lie, in her "English Literature" paper, tells a host of curious things about Pope said about Lady Mary Wortley Montague. The new story, "Don Quixote, Jr.," who is otir old frind Miltiades Peterkin Paul in armor, begins delightfuEy, and there is a paper about Sevres china, and one about "My Pets," and several poems, and then at the last there is a grand sixteen-page supplement, all about Dogs, with an interesting Natural History treatise by Ernest Ingersoll, followed by several good origninal Dog stories, all true. Only $2.00 a year. Ella Farman, Editor. D. Lothrop Sc Co., Publishers, Boston. HARPER'S MAGAZINE for February, while making a marked impression by the extraor dinary beauty of its illustrations, is even more remarkable for the temptations by which it solicits a reading, and for the satisfaction it gives the reader. The exquisite illustrations of Mr. Beard's article, "The Treasures of the Deep," do not sugar-coat a pill ; the letter press is an entertaining as the pictures. Mr. Benjamin's second paper on Southern France presents some very novel illustrations, but he tells a story of what he saw in a recent trip in a way so iuteresting that we could even ignore the peciilings of the artist. Phebe Earle Gib bons writes about "French Farmers, without the accompaniment of engravings, but her portraiture is so close and faithful that every paragraph is a picture. The illustrations of the Brazillian article "At the Mouth of the Amazons," and of Mr. F. G. Bather's "Winter Sports in Canada"—fine as they are—only supplement the graphic pen and-ink sketches of our interesting American neighbors, north and south. Mr. Horace E. Scudder's admira ble paper, "Education by Hand," contains a few excellent illustrations—glimpses of the work of the Institute of Technology in Boston —but it is chiefly valuable for its comprehen sive treatment of the whole subject of manual education. The series of illustrated papers on "Old Flemish Masters" is concluded, to be followed nest month by a paper on Rembran d the first of a similar series on the Dutch Masters. 3384 13999 11713 2186 A very interesting biographical sketch of the Rear Admiral Paulding—who was the last surviving officer engaged in the famous fight on Lake Champlain—is contributed by Com mander R. W. Meade, U. S. N. Probably the most popular thing in the Number is Will Carleton's humorous and pathetic poem, "Our Travelled Parson," with three exceedingly happy illustrations by Abhy. The promised letters written by Mendels sohn to Madame Moseheles (edited by the latter) occupy over sixteen pages of the Mag azine, one of which is given a to hitherto tin published lied by the great composer, of which_ both the words and music are given. This song is itself worth the price of the Number. The letters are now published for the first time, and every line•is precious to thousands of readers. Nothing could now be more timely than John Esten Cocke's story, "Moonshiners"— the scene of which is laid in the mountains of Western Virginia, with two brilliant illustra tions by Reinhart. Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis contributes a strong short tale, "A Story of the Plague. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps contributes a Song, and Helen W.

VALS BE ENCOURAGED BY CHRISTIAN PEOPLE? Ma. EDIToIt :—We have looked for years up on this plan or mode of liquidating church debts as an evil, and that the money thus pro cured cannot be an acceptable offering to the Lord. We come to this conclusion from the fact that it is impossible for Him to look upon sin with the least degree of allowance, and that the money procured in this way and ap propriated in paying the debts of the church, is offering an insult to God. It is true that a debt should not be allowed to remain against a church any length of time, that it should be paid at the earliest point possible. But while this is so, is it right for us to use any means at all to procure the money in order to pay this debt ? Certainly not. It is true that God can make use of the means and money of the wicked to advance His kingdom. He can work and none can hinder Him, and in this way He can make the wrath of man to •praise Him. But we exceedingly doubt wheth er He allows Ilis people to be the agents in bringing the money of the wicked into the house of the Lord as a holy offering. We think it is right when anything new is intro duced In the church that would seem to have good in it for christian people to examine it closely and see whether it has the "thus saith :-; 1-41iCr•-• :•ii• VCI' ) 4.Af t tie tells us that the devil Fometimes transforms himself into an angel of light. Now it is known that gambling has been one of the most fruit ful agents that the devil has ever had to ,trengthen his kingdom and operate against the kiugdum of Christ. And roar we le.st sup that,church fairs awl f•siivids are a de •viee of the de vi; to introduce gaioliiig into the church? Any one familiar with church fairs knows that many of them are male up of ;,r.tnacs of hazard or chance, so that the parties engaged in them would really be indictable according to our present statutes. Almost any plan or mean is resorted to at some of these church fairs in order to get the money. Some few years ago a well known church in this county had a fair or festival and among other prizes offered to competitors was a gold watch 50 cents allowed each competitor one vote in this lottery, for such we feel like calling it. and the one having the highest number of votes was to win the prize. Now it so hap• pened that the leading competitors for this prize were both whiskey men, and it is said that whiskey was used freely by both of them to secure votes. The consequence was that this watch brought quite a sum of money and no doubt was appropriated in paying the church debt. Now we ask the intelligent rea der, was this right? Would God require men to incur a debt against their own souls in or der that the debt of His church might be paid ? We certainly think not. It would be unrea sonable to suppose so. Our attention was recently called to bills posted up in conspicuous places headed thus : "Happy New Yeas The Great Moral and In structive Drama, Ten Nights in a Bar room, will be played in the Auditorium of the church, at------, on New Year's evening," and after giving the names of the different char acters who were to perform this great drama, closes with these words, "Doors open at 6.30, performance to commence at 7.15, proceeds for the benefit of the church." Now in the name of all that is dear and sacred where are we, as a Christian people, drifting to, when our churches are converted into theatres ? The question arises here, would our Saviour, when He was on earth, have approved of this performance ? We certainly think not we be lieve He would have treated them as He did the party who He found holding a fair in the temple when lie went to Jerusalem. He would have driven them out saying unto them, "It is iwritten my house shall be called the house of prayer •, but ye have made it a den of thieves." We think that our clerical brethren are a little at fault in this matter too. God has placed them as watchmen upon the walls of Zion to warn us of the approaching enemy, and we exceedingly fear that they have let this enemy of our souls pass over the walls into the city in the disguise of an angel, and that lie is with us to dhy sewing tares, and they have failed to give us the necessary warning, Oh I"Watchman I Watchman ! what of the night?" God requires Ills people to be wise as ser pents and harmless as doves. Wise as ser pents, in order that they may be able to un derstand the workings of this arch enemy of our souls, when he appears amongst us as an angel of light. In conclusion, we trust that the few thoughts we have. advanced on the subject will cause the friends of church lairs and festivals to stop and consider this matter and see whether our views are not well found ed. Some may think that we have taken ex treme ground. We think not, but if some good brother will show us from the Bible that church fairs, as they are conducted now in many places, are right, we will take back any thing we have said. ELDER. THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. EDITOR JOURNAL :—When reading the pro ceedings, as reported, of the Teachers' Insti tute, recently held in this place, we were led into a train of reflections as to the usefulness of such assemblages. For nearly twenty-five years these annual meetings have been held in our county, and, though our opinion may be wrong—hope it is—we cannot fail to re mark, that had the teachers, instead of meet ing for a "big talk," taken their guns and their dogs on their shoulders, and gone gunning and dogging in •the mountains (don't include those whose business it is to cook the game) the public schools in the county would be in quite as flourishing a condition. Dr. Franklin said, "naturally we should sup pose an assemblage of great men would be an assemblage of great wisdom, but if the edicts and mandates of such were well considered common sense would drive us to the conclu sion that an assemblage of great men was au assemblage of great fouls." Not being so famous as the great Franklin, we would not dare to use such strong lan guage, but must content ourselves by using humble terms, and can say, only, that if the questions discussed, and the manner of their discussion by teachers' institutes, are well con sidered, common sense forces us to the con clusion that such meetings are great assem blages of little fools. Two questions have always received much attention by the institute. The first is, shall the memory or the reasoning faculty of the scholar be addressed ? The second, Shall text books be used? While fine details may go further, those embody the substance of the questions. A little common sense applied to these questions would leave them as another one was left by the institute, oc more properly, by our illustrious democratie friend, who lately marshalled the host from "that other place," and left them, as he did the question in view, with "nothing to talk about." But as common sense is not found already cooked, teachers are not to be blamed for the want of it. The arguments, in relation to the first of these questions, lead to the belief hat memory —simple, undiluted memory—should receive but little culture, and that all efforts should be made towards developing the reasoning powers of the mind. It would be interesting to hear a teacher, having these views, teach a child the name of the first letter of the alphabet by a train of reasoning. There are four methods of obtaining knowledge. By simply memorizing; by reasoning; by experiment; and by observation. But the queen of the mental faculties is the memory. One fact in connection with this question is generally overlooked, or unobserved, and that is, how much of our learning is due to memory and how little to reasoning. A survey of the field of science will make this truth very plain. It is true, in mathematics, mechanical phi losophy and astronomy, many unknown facts may be discovered by reasoning; but even in these, memory bears the most important part, for how could we explain the properties of the right-angled triangle if we have forgotten that a triangle is half of a parallelogram? But our knowledge of the sciences is made up of names and facts laid away in the store-house of memory. We may give reascns for much we know, but they are learned after the parts are known ; but reasons are not reasoning. The child, in the first few years of its life, learns to spell correctly a ponderous catalogue of words, and all from a mere effort of the mem ory. It learns to read by the same method. As it advances in years it Icarus grammar, geography, history, botany, chemistry, natural history, geology, and a host of other branches of science, not by any process of reasoning, but by simply rubbing the mind against them until an impression is made that will remain. There are, no doubt, methods by which for gotten facts may be recollected, such as as sociating them with things we never du forget. lf, then, these views are correct what is ttle more proper method of mental training? Cer tainly it should be a careful culture of that paramount faculty—the memory. But how shall so desirable a process be carried on ? file mechanic's arm is strengthened by use, so is the mind ; and this being true beyond doubt, the surest way of establishing a good memory is, by a continued and careful memorizing of facts in a methodical manner. If we want a tree and set our eyes on the forest we shall never find what we want. But if we enter the forest and look carefully at every tree we shall not only find our tree, but know what is there beside. Again, the mind can not be kept vigorous without action. That person who permits one day to pass without learning a new fact, or recollecting a forgotten one, or who devotes all his tinje to a daily paper, (the bane of the mind) will very soon find his memory treacherous. And - now a word about text books. We would not only permit their use, but would have the scholar memorize every word.sentence, or character, from the title on the first page to the finis on the last. We have found that the very name of the author has often brought to mind something we had forgotten. And then, is it not very great presumption for an inexperienced teacher to set himself about the book ?—the result of years of study and ex perience—by the greatest scholars of the past ages ? We think so. The teacher may explain and illustrate, but making books is surely outside of his calling. QUADRATIC.

Always a pungently original and endlessly varied epitome of the most attractive literary novelties, artistic information, social salieuciee, choicest regular con tributions and brighest journalistic department of the day, it is intended that It shall be made yet brighter and more comprehensive in general by the addition of striking new features and the aid of an increased force of first-class writers.

A goodly, loyal army of old frienus and new are already subscribers, in every part of the Union and in many parts of Europe; but an even greater eon etitueney yet needs just such a combination of all the choicest Literary and Artistic attractions of the whole newspaper world in one gloat weekly, as they may find in the New York Mercury for 1579.
