On our way to our office one morning last
week we heard the pleasant warble of a blue

little premature in his return to his summer

The Coal Trade Journal, published in New
York, says that "the miners of Huntingdon
county, Pa., will endorse the action taken both
at Pittsburgh and West Elizabeth." We are
not aware of the nature of the action referred
to. and therefore can say nothing about it.
The Tyrone Building Association closed out
last week after an existence of eight years.
Fifteen hundred shares were cancelled during
that period, and at its termination there were
$33.50 to divide amongst the stockholders,
each of whom would receive about three cents.
Onr liberal-hearted fellow-citizen, John
Whitehead, esq., has donated a car load of bitu
minuous coal for the poor of this place, and
Superintendent Gage kindly gave it free transit
over his road. Apply to ,Nirs. Jno. Whitehead
or Mrs. David Blair, either of whom will issue
an order for coal.
Judging from the description of M'Pike's
new press, as given in last week's Freeman, it
must be a curiosity and something novel in
the press line. But its owners seems well
pleased with it so far, and the Democrats of
Cambria should shower the "shekels" in upon
him to help pay for the macline.
J. H. McCullough, esq., of Altoona, pro
prietor of the "Boston Shoe Store," opposite
the JOURNAL building, on Fifth street, has en
tered the list of candidates for Prothonotary
of Blair county on the Republican side of the
house. Mr. Mc. is a very clever gentleman,
and we shall be pleased to chronicle his success
At the late Millers' Association, held in
Lancaster, it was stated that the Fultz and
Clawson varieties of wheat do not produce
good flour. We believe these varieties are
largely grown by Huntingdon county farmers,
and so far we have beard no complaints con
cerning the quality of flour manufactured from
them.
At a meeting of the stockholders of the Hun
tingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad and
•coal company, held in Philadelphia, on Mon
day last, Directors for the ensuing year were
chosen and B. Andrews Knight was re-elected
President. The report for 1878 shows receipts
from all sources to have been $240,041, ex
penses $125,032, and net earnings $115,012.
A defective spot in the boiler of the steam
fire engine, recently discovered, and which
materially interfered in getting up and keep
ing steam, was satisfactorily repaired one day
last week, and now the machine does her work
well and satisfactory. The steamer has been
well taken care of and her well-preserved con
dition reflects credit on our friend "Honesty,"
who has had her in charge since her purchase.
A party of capitalists have purchased the
strip of land lying between the Feeder Level
and the canal, known as "Ebey's Orchard,"
at the lower dam, with a view to starting a
steam saw-mill. They are going to work in
a few days to put in a boom for the catching
of logs. Immense quantities of logs are now
being cut along the Raystown Branch as far
up as Bedford, which will be sawed at this
mill.
On Tuesday morning last George A. Port,.
esq., put a number of men to work to clear
away the debris on the site of his slaughter
house, recently destroyed by fire. Mr. Port in
forms us that hs has contracted for the erec
tion of a slaughter-house more commodious
than the one destroyed, which will contain all
the modern improvements. The building will
be erected on the site of the old one, and will
be first-class in all its appointments.
The Fifth street dial of the town clock is
missed very much since it fails to designate
the time. Hurry up, gentlemen of the Council,
and replace it with a new one, and while you
have the clock under consideration resolve to
accept the proposition of the Gas Company to
illuminate it for a year for $lOO.OO, and let us
have the time both day and night. Get out of
the rut of fogyism and let Huntingdon take
her place amongst the progressive and wide
awake towns of the State.
The Monitor of last week says that "it i 3
rumored that Francis Murphy will .portly re
turn to this place and conduct a temperance
revival for a week." We know of no more
prolific field' in which the evangelist could
raise his banner. Saturday last seemed to be
a general field day fur the drunkards of this
town. A couple of poor creatures disgraced
their manhood by howling along Fifth street
in the afternoon, and by their conduct verifies
the old saw, that "when whiskey is in wit /3
out." Let Murphy come by all means.
The Bedford Inquirer, of last week, has this
ta say about one. of our best citizens : The
traveling public know the H. & B. T. B. B. is
kept in excellent order, that it is run by ex
perienced engineers and brakemen, and clevr,
accommodating conductors. Mr. Gage is
known as a gentleman. Not on special oc
casions, but all the time, on all occasions, and
he is liked by everybody. He looks after the
interests of the company with a zealous eye,
and we know thfatill administration, to the
company and the public, has been very satis
factory.
Our friend, David Over, esq., of the Holli
daysburg Register, according- to the Blair
county papers, is hard at work looking up his
chances for the Republican nomination for
Sheriff, in that county, next fall. If ,there is
a man in Blair county who deserves a nomi
nation and election to office, that man is our
friend, Over. He is an old wheel-horse in the
Republican party, and has done more work
for less pay, we venture to say, than any of his
competitors for the position. Nominate' and
elect him, and by so doing you Will show that
partie - 4 are not ungrateful.
A couple of our home contemporaries, in
speaking of the future prospects of Hunting
don, advise strangers, who are thinking of
coming here to engage in the mercantile busi
ness, not to do so. We can't see why they
thus advise ; we want as many strangers to
come here as we can get, and the more the
better. If our town is finished, why then fence
it up, and put placards on the outer walls
telling strangers that there is no room for
them. Come with your stores, your work
shops, your factories, your industries of all
kinds, and we will give you a: hearty welcome•
Everybody come.
Our old-time and highly esteemed friend,
Henry Conprobst, esq., of Barree township,
was in town on Saturday last, and his many
friends were puzzled to account for his unusual
good humor and the pleasant smiles that
wreathed his face. Tie cause of all this, how
ever, finally leaked out, and it all resulted
from the fact that his household had been in
creased by the advent of a pair of boy babies.
When it is known that our old friend has lived
his three score and ten years, he cannot be
censured for feeling elated over a little affair
of this kind. Our congratulations, old friend,.
and may you live many years to eojoy the
comforts of this life.
The rowdies of this place, who have been
disturbing the citizens almost nightly, for
several weeks past, were gobbed by the
wholesale on Saturday morning. They were
given a hearing before Burgess Lewis on Mon
day, at the conclusion of which he tined some
of the party $5 or fiv , days iu jail, and the
others $3 or three days in jail. All but two
of them, eleven in number, went to jail. They
sail under the nom de plume of "Gilligan Band,"
and never seem so happy as when they arc
bellowing through the town when respectable
people are in bed. If they are again brought
before Mayor Lewis for a similar offense they
will not get off so easy.
The March number of Iforptr's Magazine
will contain a full and illustrated description
of W. W. Gary's motor, which is just now
creating considerable excitement in scientific
circles. The article which will appear in
Harper will be written by Edwin Bacon, esq.,
for a number of years editor in-chief of the
Boston Journal, and at present the Boston cor
respondent of the New York Times. Mr. Bacon
is on intimate terms with Mr. Gary, and having
seen and examined the motor, and studied it
carefully with a view to writing it up, we may
expect a highly interesting and intelligent de
scription of Mr. Gary's invention. A Boston
company, with ample means, has been formed
with a view to utilizing the motor in the pro
duction of the electric light. Several of the
oldest and best electricians in the country are
members of the company, and having tested
the merits of the invention are confident of
its success. Any of our readers desirous
of procuring the forthcoming number cf flat
per's Magazine containing this description, can
do so by leaving their orders at the JOURNAL
Store at once. The March number will be is
sued about the middle of the present month.
Every friend and acquaintance of Mr. Gary
should call and leave their order for a copy.
MISSIONARY MEETING.—The members
of the Woman's Foreign 'Missionary Society,
met at l'ine Grove school house, in Union
township, on Saturday afternoon, February
let, but on account of the rough weather the
attendance was small, and although the weather
continued rough during the afternoon and
evening, the crowd at night was much larger
than most of us expected ; the audience was
composed, principally of young ladies and
gentlemen, which showed that they took an
interest in the cause of Missions. The meeting
was called to order by Mrs. K. W. Clarkson,
President. "From Greenland's Icy Moan
tains," was sung. Prayer was thsn offered by
the Ilon. D. Clarkson. The minutes of the
last meeting were then read by the Secretary,
Miss M. B. Curfman. The President then made
a short address, speaking of the interest mani
fested in the District Meeting which was held
at Huntingdon on the 31st of January. Sing
ing, "Triumph By and By." A piece was then
read by Miss Lizzie Pheasant, entitled, "The
two Funerals," followed by another piece read
by Franklin Swoope, entitled, "God or the
Governor," with a tribute to J. D Brown, the
writer. These two pieces, portraying the
habits and character of the heathens, were
well read, showing that the readers took de
light in doing what they could for the cause
of missions. The meeting was then addressed
by W. A. Crotsley in favor of the missionary .
cause. It showed much thought and study in
its construction. Ile portrayed in grand
character and comparisons the modes that the
heathens have iu worshipping their idol gods.
Speeches were then made by David Clarkson,
Ralph Crotsley and Levi Pheasant, all of
whom spoke in favor of the missionary cause.
Some of the ladies also spoke in favor of the
cause, after which an ins itation was given to
persons wishing to join the society to do so'
which invitation was responded to by one per
son. A collection was then taken up amount•
ing to one dollar and three cents, which was
very good for the number present. The Dox•
ology was then sung and the crowd was die
missed. Although not very many took an
important part, those who did acquitted them
selves nobly, and especially the young ladies
and gentlemen, all of whom won laurels for
themselves that will never fade away. Perse
vere, young folks, in this cause, and God will
reward you, if not here, in the hereafter. On
the following morning Rev. Shoemaker
preached a very interesting Missionary Ser
mon which was listened to with profound at
tention by the congregation present. His text
was in First Peter, fourth chapter and tenth
verse. PINE GROVE.
A STARTLING EXIIIBIT.—Here is
something for people to think about, and, if
possible, devise some method to lessen the
results of the evil. At the request of the
Murphy Temperance Society of Bellefonte,
Judge John 11. Orvis has prepared a statement
of the costs and evils arising out of the liquor
traffic in that town. What is true of Belle
fonte is equally true of our own town, and
tile startling exhibit should cause the masses
to stop and think. But to the statement :
lie said the amount of poor tax levied iu
the borough was $4,500. Add to this the
relief afforded by charitable citizens to the
poor outside of the poor tax, estimated at
$4500 more, making in all $9,000 for the
relief of tile poor. The amount of school tax
levied is $9,000. Add to this $4,500 more
expended in private schools and by sending
children away to school, and we have $13,500
devoted to school purposes. Estimate the
very liberal amount, $22,000. for the support
oPchurches and Sunday schools, including all
expenses, and we have a total of $45,000
expended for these three purposes—poverty,
education and religion. By carefully gather
ed data taken frotuthe accounts of the Been
sed bars of this borough, the Judge clearly
showed that the cost to the consumer of the
malt and spirituous liquors sold in these
eight licensed pl.ces in our town is $34,430.
Add to this the direct losses to the commnuity
of the labor, grain and other valuables wasted
in its manufacture and sale,which amounts to
$19,000, and we have the direct expense of
the liquor traffic in Bellefonte to the consumer
and cordmunity generally, $33,000, or $8,500
more than is expended for charity, education
and religion. The Judge did not take into
this account any indirect losses in court ex
penses arising from the continual criminal
cases brought on in the use of intoxicating
drink, or other consequential damage to the
cons munity from the same source.
WHo is StiE ?—The Hollidaysburg cor
respondent of the Altoona Tribune, in his let
ter to that paper on Tuesday morning has this
to say about a female who gave our town as
her residence : .Some ten days ago a rather
intelligent and respectable looking young
woman was driven to the alms-house. She
was accoa:panied with that indispensable ar
tide to all ladies when traveling, a "Saratoga! ,
She requested boarding at the institution, but
not being armed with the lawful permit, she
was not accommodated. She was then driven
to this town and stopped It one of our hotels
over night. The next day she made applica
tion at a number of private houses for board
ing and succeeded in getting a place in Gays
port, where she has been ever since. On
Thursday she again visited the county alms
house and requested to stay over night, saying
she felt sick, which request was granted. After
retiring she was taken quite sick and before
morning was the mother of a babe. She re
fuses to give her name, says she is a widow
and is from Huntingdon ; that she owned
property in Indiana, which she recently sold
and when she receives her money, which she
is expecting to be sent, she will pay her ex
penses.
SUSPENDED FitoM THE MINTNTRY.--
Three or four weeks ago we published in the
JOURNAL an account of trouhie
overtaken our former fellow-townstuan, Hey.
U. E. Wilson, during a visit to Harrisburg
about the holidays. It was openly charged
by some that he was beastly drunk, whilst
others contended that he had been drugged
while partaking of a glass of sweet cider in
one of the restaurants near the depot in that
city, whither he had gone fur the purpose of
eating a plate of raw oysters. The Conference
News, the organ of Methodi,:tn in this state,
investiglted the n .atter, and was satisfied that
Mr. Wilson was not guilty of the charge of
drunkenness, and published au editorial iu .
vindication of the Reverend gentleman, which
we copied into our article giving a history of
the case. Mr. Wilson's congregation, at Mifflin
town, seemed satisfiet with his explanation of
the aCfair, believed him innocent, and greeted
him with a crowdPil house on his r.!+pearanee
in the pulpit after this damaging story had
been brought to their attention. The Reverend
gentleman was attending to his duties as
usual, and while he had the full confidence of'
his congregation, a number of his ministerial
brethren came to the conclusion that the
charges made against Mr. Wilson should re
ceive a rigid investigation, and with this ob
ject in view charges were made to Rev. Thomp
son Mitchell, of this place, Presiding Elder
of the Juniata District, asking that a corn
mince be appointed to investigate the matter.
Presiding Elder Mitekell appointed a committee
of Mr. Wilson's own choosing to hear and de
termine his guilt or innocence. The trial was
held at Mifflintown, Rev. J. W. Olwine acting
as counsel for the complainants and Rev. J. S,
M'Murray and Rev. Geo. D. Pennypacker for
Mr. Wilson. After a patient hearing of the
testimony and the facts in the case, the com
mittee voted unanimously to suspend Mr. Wil
son from the ministry. This decision is not
final, however, as his case will come before the
next session of the Central Pennsylvania Con
ference which assembles at Bloomsburg, on
the 19th proximo, and the action there taken
will be final, and let us hope, for the sake of
religion, that Mr. Wilson can clear himself of
the ugly charges brought against him, and be
reinstated to his former honorable position.
THE PENITENTIARY—SETTLED AT LAST
—ln last week's JOURNAL we stated that Sec
retary hart and Counsellor McPherson were
in town busily engaged in examining deeds,
titles and papers relating to the Penitentiary
site. They accomplished the task at a late
hour on Thursday evening and found every
thing satisfactory, and the deeds are now on
record in the Recorder's Office. Thirty-seven
deeds were examined during the day. The
property purchased and donated to the State
embraces the following, with the prices paid :
Thirteen acres from R. R. Bryan 51,300
Spring property 1,250
L. E. %Vestbrook's house on the site 1,025
Logan Martin's lut 2OO
Seven houses east of turnpike 6,230
Total of donation
The Commission bought and paid for the
following additional land :
Twelve acres from R. R. Bryan..
Additional properly near Spring.. 129
Lutheran Church lot
Laud from Frank Hefright,
Total purchased by Commission
The site embraces about thirty-three acres
of land, starting at the forks of the road lead
ing to Alexandria and McConnellstown, and a
more beautiful location could not be found
anywhere in the State.
Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon
our people for their liberal subscriptions to
the purchasing fund, and particularly is this
the case in regard to the gentlemen who had
the matter in charge, and who labored so in
cessantly and indefatigably to accomplish the
happy result arrived at.
THE LOCAL PRESS.—The local editor
of the Osceola Reveille knows whereof he
speaks when ho says that 'a town without a
local newspaper, might as well be out of
existence. Its modest pretentious toward
holding rank with sister towns, and the efforts
of its business men to establish and maintain
commercial and social popularity for them
selves and their town, have no effect or influ
ence with the civilized world around them.
Local interests of every kind suffer from want
of that attention gratuitously bestowed by the
press. Capital seeking investment, is repul
sed ; manufacturing discouraged ; marriages
and deaths, accidents, removals, etc., are not
heard of; transfers and sales of property pass
unnoticed, while merchants wear out the
bottoms of their chairs, waiting for customers
to come - in and search for their hidden wares.
Churches, Sunday schools, public schools,
local political affairs, are all neglected for
want of such information as might be given
through the press. Viewing the necessity of
a local paper itk this light, people readily
admit they cannotwithout a town paper.
They subscribe for it, and in many instances,
never pay ; or, if they do, it is after the poor
devil of a printer has spent all it is worth, in
his efforts-to collect. Publishers, editors, and
typos are supposed to be capable of living on
"the air we breathe," which is all very good
so lorg as it holds out ; but we feel constrain
ed to say, that a period extending from one
to three years is about as long as printers
can afford to wait for their pay. Those who
do pay promptly, are annoyed by the neg. :
ligence of those who do not. Make up your
minds, that hereafter you will not only sup
port your local paper, but that you will pay
in advance, and give the printer a chance to
live."

A S fRANGE DISEASE AMONG THE CAT
TLE.-A disease has made its appearance in
the neighborhood of liench's tannery, near
Centre, in this county, rays the Perry Freeman,
that is causing the farmers in that part of the
county some uneasiness. Last week a young
steer owned by a Mr. Moyer, near Centre, took
s ick and died, and was soon followed by one
or two other animals. A young horse belong
ing to the same man was also stricken. A
number of dogs ate the carcasses, and they in
turn are dying. The disease is said to affect
sheep and all live stock. The theory about
it is that it was brought there on hides, and
communicated to the stock which drank out
of the stream in which the hides were washed.
A•cattle raiser and herder of experience from
Kansas said the disease resembled what plains
men call "Spanish fever."

never spent a. peuuy for their party paper;
have been elected to office and cheated the
printer out of the money due him for bolster
ing lip their questionable characters and print
ing their tickets, telling him, when he pre
sented his bill, that they "never ordered him
to print tickets." There is only one way that
we know of by which printers can get even
with these "political dead-beats," and that is
to adopt the pay-in-advance system with all
candidates. Honorable men and partisans
will not ohject, and will pay promptly. The
"dead-beats" will whine and talk of the cost,
but make them come down with the stamps,
for if you wait until after the election they
will refuse to pay you.

"As IT MAY HAPPEN" very justly claims to
be "a story of American life and character: ,
It is one ofthe very few works of fiction we have
read for years, and we took it up with no
intention other than of getting an idea of its
literary tone and merit; but we found our
selves so deeply interested in the perusal of
its opening chapter—an interest which was
much enhanced as we proceeded—that we
read it through to the end, and only regretted
that the end was reached. It is an exceed
ingly interesting story, full of incident, and
presents several distinctive S and well drawn
characters, in whose words, acts, and destiny
the interest of the reader never flags. The . re
is so much of incident in the story that we
cannot undertake to give our readers evert a
remote idea of it ; but m e e Irnestly commend
the book, not only to all who have a taste for
fiction, but also to those interested in the
study of human character and in the acquire
went of a pure and elevated literary style. Get
the book, and if you have riot time to read the
whole bouk, read the opening chapter.—
Porter & Coates, Philadelphia.
SPIRITUAL ioxas. Selected and arranged
by Charles S. Robison, D. D., Scribner & Co.,
New York.
In the mind of a careful observer there can
exist no doubt that the service of song in the
house of the Lord is receiving more thought
ful attention than ever before. The recent
tidal wave of "Moody and Sankey Hymns"—
so called, not because they were the authors,
but mainly on account of the fresh impetus
and, wide-spread popularity given by the
evangelists' skillful use—has done much to
awaken the public mind to the power of sacred
song.
For a time it seemed that most of the old
hymns and standard tunes were to be swept
away by the lighter class of "Gospel Hymns"
(did we never have Gospel Hymns until they
were invented in Chicago ?) which appealed
more immediately to the emotional nature,
sometimes at a serious loss in the distortion
of religious truth, as well as in flippant
offenses against refined musical taste. But
they served, and still serve, a grand purpose
in stirring cold hearts, kindling the emotions
and breaking up the old ruts of formalism ;
and now—possibly somewhat satiated with
"refrains"—the churches are turning long
ingly toward that which is more substantial
and enduring.
And this seems to be the case, without
regard to denominational lines or to the
question as to choir or purely congregational
singing, the real needs of all being nearly
identical. For, in the main, the songs of all
churches are the same, and Christians ofevery
name are never so completely "one in Christ"
as when their souls are uplifted together in
the glorious strains of Watts and Wesley, of
Toplady and Beddorne, and hosts of others,
from the grand old Latin hymns down to the
not less devotional lyrics of living writers,
which have become the common heritage of
all who love and "praise God from whom all
blessings flow."
Is the neat volume before us, the general
want seems as nearly met as is possible with
out making the book of inconvenient bulk,
and Dr. Robinson has evidently made good
use of his exceptionally large past experience
in similar work. In hymnology it is excellent,
every longing of the soul or phase of devout
feeling apparently finding full expression in
the choicest verses of nearly three hundred
different authors. Doubtless, every one will
miss some favorites,—so be would if the vol
ume were twice the size—but be will find
SIILANTA
otlier3 cqually good (soinititne better) w'uicti
are new to him, aud wide!) will win his love
by theie Pe,iiaoss mad ....,►z:.•. 1.. IL;s de
partment it is high prise to say th..tt. we see
nothing which, in our judgment, should have
been omitted. This work shows the most
judicious and painstaking selection rather than
mere compilation.
Turning to the tuusical part, we see abund
ant evidence of good taste and thoughtful
study, not only in the selections. but in the
adaptations. Dr. Robinson and his musical
helpers evidently recognize the fact that, in
worship, the music ofa hyrna is but its drapery
and to fit the latter properly, regard must be
had to something more than mere meter. Yet
this, we are glad to see, is not carried to the
extreme of divorcing hymns and tunes which
have, by common consent, enjoyed long years
of wedded bliss : e. g.. "Al! hail the power of
Jesus' name" is set to Coronation, tLough on
the same page is "Miles Lace," au old tune
not generally known, but every way better
fitted properly to render that hymn.
Leaders of choirs will find great advantage
in that feature or the mechanical arrange
ment of the book which gives at a glance a
number of congruous hymns of the same
meter, with music to correspond, so that a
choice of tunes is always possible. They will
also be gratified to find here and there pages
of hymns without music, where the adaptation
may be their own. The general arrangement
is such as to present an agreeable page to the
eye at every tun, avoiding the monotony
common to many works of the kind. The
Scripture Texts inside the covers are admira
ble in selection and tastefully printed in
illuminated text.
With clear type, Sne paper and a unique
and durable binding, the mechanical execu
tion of the book is characteristic of the well
known house of Scribner k Co., and it is put
at a very moderate price. The elegant edition
in Silk, with gilt edges, is certainly a novelty
and exceedingly beautiful.
On the whole, we regard this latest and
ripest work of the kind as a most desirable
manual of hymns and music for the churches,
convenient in size, pleasant to the eye, ele
vating to the taste and healthful to the soul.
LITTELL'S LIVING AGE.—The number of The
Living Age for the week ending Feb. Ist has
some noteworthy articles. The first is an
address on "The Historical Aspect of the
United States," by Dean Stanley. This is
followed by "The Logic of Toleration," by W.
El. Matlock, author of "Positivism on an
Island" ; an article on "George Henry Lewes"
by Anthony Trollope ; an installment of "Sir
Gibbie" by George MacDonald, and of "A
Doubting Heart" by Miss Keary; insectivorous
Plants, Nineteenth Century; Dreams, Saturday
Review ; Heather, Blackwood, and several
choice poems, and miscellany.
For fifty two such numbers of sixty-four
large pages each (or more than 3,000 pages a
year), the subscription price ($8) is low;
while for $10.50 the publishers offer to send
any one of the American $4 monthlies or
weeklies with The Living Age for a year, both
postpaid. Littell & Gay, Boston, publishers.

1879-TILE NEW YEAR-1879
In entering upon a new twelvemonth, which
begins with every sign !suspicions for all the ac

with every indication of an immediate future as
favorable to the advance of liberal 'enterprfae as

proposes to have a new life, as it were, infused
into this so long representative metropolitan

a pungently original and endlessly varied epitome
of the must attractive literary novelties, artistic
information, social saliencies, chuiPest regular con
tributions and brighest journalistic department
of the day, it id intended that it shall be made
yet brighter and more comprehensive in general
by the addition of striking noir features and the
aid of an increase 4 force of first-class writers.
Any current number of the paper now will servo
to show the progress of these invigorating and re
juvenating improvements, at once recalling to
thousands of readers the most brilliant past epochs
of their favorite weekly's veteran career and
eclipsing all precedents therein. The New YORK
MERCURY for the year 1879 will be far stronger
than ever in its great standard specialities,

encouragement to fresh and generous enterprise
that the New Yearpromises to afford. A goodly,
