The Huntingdon Journal. J. A. NASH, EIUNTINGDON, PENN'A FRIDAY, - - - FEBRUARY 14, 1879 Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. SENATOR CIIRISTIANCY has resigned his seat iu the U. S. Senate. WE are indebted to Hon. H. G. Fisher for favors from the State capital. IT COST New Jersey just $30,000 to choke Benjamin Hunter to death. THE President has appointed Geu. A. L. Russell, formerly Adjutant General of this State, Consul to Montevedio. A LAW has just b.len passed by the Ohio legislature making it a penitentiary offense to throw stones at passing railroad trains. FOUR legislatures, now in session, are considering bills for the establishment of the whipping post for the punishment of certain crimes. ONE DAY last week Mr. Foust, of this county, presented a bill in the House for bidding the manufacture and sale of liquor in this Commonwealth. A bill of this kind has been presented annually since the re peal of the Local Option law. THE name of Hon. John Stewart, of the Chambersburg bar, is mentioned in con nection with the vacant United States Judgeship, and the papers at his home speak in the highest terms of his fitness for the position. He will be pressed with same force for the place. WHITLEY county, Ky., was last year represented in the legislature by a man that could not read. This year no school is taught at the county seat. It is need less to say that Kentucky rolls up her Democratic majorities by the seventy.tive and hundrei thousands. THE latest candidate for public favor in the newspaper world is the Juniata Hews, published at Port Royal, Juniata county, by Moore & Turbett. We hope they may make a fortune out of their yen tare, but the chances in this direction are against them, as Juniata is pretty well sup plied with papers already MESSRS. SCOTT & MCFADDEN, who have been publishing the Osceola Reveille for a couple of years past, have secured a lease of the job office connected with the paper, and will hereafter conduct both the paper and jobbing department. They promise to put a "new head" on the paper and make other improvements. We wish them success. JOHN E PENNEL, the wife murdeler, died in his cell, in the Lancaster prison, on Friday morning last, of softening of the brain. I■ February, 1877, he was con. victed of murder in the first degree, but his case was taken to the Supreme Court, and after examining the testimony that tri bunal granted him a new trial, which was to have commenced the 28th inst. The deceased was evidently an insane man. LAST week President Hayes astonished nearly every person, and particularily the politicians, when he sent the name of ex Governor Hartranft to the Senate for con firmation as postmaster of Philadelphia. At the same time he nominated A. Louden Snowden for Director of the Mint, and ex. Gov. James A. Pollock for Naval Inspect. or. It seems as if Pollock and Hartranft have a life lease of office. It is possible t) have "too mach of a good thing." FOR WANT of sufficient patronage the Oil Times, published at Edenburg, Clar ion county, for the past year and a half, by J. F. Campbell, esq., has shut up shop at that place. The material will be re moved to Clarion, and in the course of two or three weeks the paper will be issued from that town. The Times was a good paper and deserved better treatment at the hands of the Democracy of uildom, in whose interest it has been a hard worker. ONLY $4,000,000 ! A bill has been introduced in the lower house of. the legislature by speaker Long, of Allegheny, asking the State to appro priate $4,000,000 for the payment of the damages arising out of the Pittsburgh riots. There's a "job" in this thing, and one of mammoth proportions. The follow ing is an abstract of the bill : That the Governor is authorized to ap point a commission of three disinterested persons of this State to ascertain the losses in this State by the July riots of 1877. They shall have power to hear all claim ants and examine such documentary or other evidence of the nature, quantity and value of all property, real or personal, al leged to have been lost, injured or destroy ed in said riots as may be offered, and may call before them witnesses and administer oaths or affirmations. All claimants shall make out and deposit with the said Com missioners, within a certain number of days after they all have been qualified to act, a specification of the nature, kind, quantity and value of the property alleged to have been lost. When the Commission ers shall have been duly qualified they shall give at least ten days' public notice in one or more newspapers of the respect ive counties of the time and place when and where they will proceed to the dis charge of their duties. If, under any local or special law, any one or more of the counties in which such losses have occur red is alleged to be liable to suits by the owners of property for its injury, loss or destruction, and such county shall pay or cause to be paid into the State Treasurer twenty-five per centum of the loss or dam age wbieh shall be assessed and reprted as having been eaused by mob or riot in said county, said amount shall be paid to the owners along with so mush of the ap propriation made by this act as shall be necessary to pay the damages suffered by such owners, either in fail or pro rata. But if smell county shall fail to pay said twenty five per centual within a certain time after such assessment, aed a report shall be made and filed in the office of the State Treasurer, claimants who have suffer ed loss or injury to their property in such county shall receive out of the appropria tion hereby made but seventy-five per cent. of the amount assessed as their respective claims, and such county shall be and re main liable, that the sum of $4.000,000, or so mach thereof as may be necessary, -shall be appropriated for this purpose and the said Commissioners shall receive $lO a Jay for their services. AN INVALID old lady down in Lebanon county, the other day, insisted on being immersed according to the rite of the Ger man Baptists, which requires that the can didate be put under the water three times. A hole had to be cut in the ice, the candi date carried to the water in a chair, and by the aid of two assistants the old lady was immersed, but when the ceremony was over it was discovered that she was apparently dead. She was taken to a neighboring house, wrapped in blankets, stimulents given her, and in a little while signs of life were visible, and by proper care it is thought that she will recover from the shock. Several other persons, who were present for immersion, upon sec ing how near the old lady came to "pass ing iu her checks," sensibly concluded to postpone the matter until warm weather. Editor. A BILL has been introduced in the lower house of the legislature making it unlawful for any man. woman or child in this Commonwealth to have in their posses. sion a species of dog known as the "Spitz dog." The penalty fixed is a fine of $l,OOO or three months imprisonment, one half to the informer and the other half to the pub lic school fund. SAMUEL J. TILDEN was before the Pot ter Committee on Friday, and he swore that he knew nothing about the cipher dispatches. This is the same man who swore to certain things about his income tax, which were proven to be false, a few years ago. Draw your own conclusions. THE President has appointed Hon. Win. Butler, of West Chester, Pa., to be United States district Judge for the Eastern Dis trict of Pennsylvania, as successor to the late Judge Cadwalader. PINCIMACK has been revenue agent of the Louisiana district. A Stunning British Defeat in South CAPE TOWN, January 21, via ST. VIN CENI.—Oti the 21st inst., a British col. unit) consisting of a portion of the Twenty fourth regiment, a battery of artillery and 600 natives were utterly annihilated near the Tugela river by 20,000 Zulus, who captured a valuable convoy oflo2 wagons, 1,000 oxen, 2 cannon, 400 shot and shell, 1,000 rifles, 250,000 pounds of ammuni tion, GO,OOO pounds weight of provisions and the colors of the Twenty fourth regi ment. It is estimated that 5,000 Zulus were killed and wounded in the battle. CAPE TOWN, January 27.—Among the killed on the British side are two Majors, four Captains, twelve Lieutenants and the Quartermaster of the Twenty-fourth regi went ; two Captains of the Royal artillery, a Colonel, a Captain, four Lieutenants and a Surgeon Major of Engineers, besides twenty one other British officers command ing the native troops. Seven attacks subsequently made by the Zulus have been repulsed, and the colony is now some what recovering from the utter eonsterna Lion which at first prevailed. Natal Howel is in great danger and disturbances are feared in Pongoland. Lord Chelmsford. the commander of the expedition, has been compelled to retire in consequence of the defect. It is estimated that five hundred soldiers were killed, besides the officers enumerated above. Governor Sir Bartle Frere has sent appeals to England and the Mauritius for reinforcements. The mail steamer for England was despatehed a day earlier than usual with a request for six regiments of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. LONDON, February 11.—Details of the disaster to the British force show that the guns were spiked before they were cap tured The Times says editorially that the government is bound to send ample reinforcements without an hour's delay and spare no expense or effort. BRADFORD county's coal trade bids fair to be very large in the spring, owing to the large demands for tnanufacturing pur poses in the northwest. Our Tenure of Life Depends in great measure upon our regard fur or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate them we caunnot expect to "make old bones." But that the span of existence allotted to a naturally delicate constitution, or one which has been shaken by disease may be materially lengthened, is a fact of which we have daily proof. The vivifying and restorative influ ence of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon a failing physique affords a striking illustration of the power of judicious medication to strengthen the hold on life. Restored diges tion, complete assimilation, renewed appetite, sound repose, these are among the benefits conferred upon the debilitated by that supreme renovant. With a circulation enriched, a frame invigorated, and a nervous system tranquilized, the invalid, after a course of the Bitters, feels that his life tenure is no longer the precarious thing that it was—that be may yet enjoy a "green old age." [feb.7-Im. E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron. This truly val:Lable tonic has been so thoroughly tested by all classes of the com munity that it is now deemed indispensable as a Tonic medicine. It costs but little, purifies the blood and gives tone to the stom itch, renovates the system and prolongs life. Everybody should have it. For the cure of Weak Stomachs, General Debility, Indigestion, Diseases of the Stomach, and for all cases requiring a tonic. This wine includes the most agreeable and efficient Sait of Iron we possess—Citrate of Magnetic Oxide combined with the most ever getic of vegetable tonics—Yellow Peruvian Bark. Do you want something to strengthen you? Do you want a good appetite? Do you want to get rid of nervousness? Do you want energy ? Do you want to sleep well ? Do you want to build up your constitution? Do you want to feel well? Do you want a brisk and vigorous feeling ? If you do tr 3, KUNKEL'S BITTER WINE OF IRON. I only ask a trial of this valuable tonic ! Beware of counterfeits, as Kunkel's Bitter Wine of.lron is the only sure and effectual remedy in the known world for the permanent cure of Dyspepsia and Debility, and as there are a number of imitations offered to the pub lic, I would caution the community to pur chase none but the genuine article, manufac tured by E. F Kunkel, and having his stamp on the cork of every bottle. The very fact that others are attempting to imitate this valuable remedy proveq its worth and speaks volumes in its favor. Get the genuine. E. F. Kunkel's. Sold only in $1 bottles. Sold by Druggists and dealers everywhere. E. F. Kunkel, Pro prietor, 259 North Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. TAPE WORM REMOVED ALIVE.
