The gentlemen who were instrumental in getting General Kilpatrick to come to this place and deliver his lecture on "Sherman's March to the Sea," come out a little behind ; but they are content. This town ought to sustain a course of lectures by the best talent in the field every winter. An old fogy of this town, who can count his wealth by the hundred thousands, opposes all improvements on the ground that they will increase the cost of living. Ile remarked to an acquaintance, a few days ago, that "when the new penitentiary got fairly under way we would have to pay thirty cents per dozen for eggs n We suppose Huntingdon is now happy, as the Penitentiary Commissioners have accepted the deeds for the land to locate the buildings upon.—Juniata Tribune. Yes, as happy as a Fifteenth Amendment sitting on a cellar-door with a July sun beam ing down upon him. We are "happy", and proud, too, of the liberality of our people in planking down the "rhino" to purchase the site. The last of the b'hoys, members of the "Gil ligan Band," who were cooped on Monday of last week, by Mayor Lewis, for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, were liberated from Fort Irvin on Saturday afternoon, but judging from the "free and easy" airs they put on as they marched up street, after their release, we are inclined to think that they consider them selves martyrs rather than the disgraced young men that they are. Public sales appear to be scarce this Spring, in this locality. So far we have not printed over half a•dozen bills, and in this connection we would remind our readers that we are bet ter prepared for doing poster printing than any other office in the Juniata Valley. We can get you up a plain or illustrated sale bill at an hour's notice. If you are going to have A sale this Spring leave your order for bills at the JOURNAL Job Rooms. We had been flattering ourselves fur some time past that in the spring we would have our old friend, Geo. W. Cornelius, esq., of Shirley township, a resident of our town, but we see that our old friend announces himself as a candidate for re-election to the office of Justice-of-the-Peace, which looks very much as if he intended to remain in Shirley. lie is a very clever gentleman, a good officer and we hope he may be re-elected. Well, that long-promised and anxiously looked-for enlargement and improvement of the Cambria Freeman has at last been con summated, as was evidenced in the good lool•s of last week's issue. Barring those miserable R inger cake-looking rules at the top of the pages we can congratulate Brother M'Pike on the neat appearance of Lis paper. Substitute plain rule in their stead and the Freeman will be a model of typographical neatness. This from the Altoona Tribune of Wednes day : The following extract is taken from the Huntingdon Gazette of April 16, 1828 : "On Suuday last it commenced snowing, and at noon on Monday it measured on Tussy's mountain seventeen inches." As we were just five months, less one day, old at that date, we aro not prepared to say whether the above cx tract is authentic or not. Rev. Father McCarthy, of St. .Augustine, Cambria county, will deliver a lecture in the Court House, in this place, on Wednesday evening, the 19th inst. The Reverend Father has chosen for his subject "Jaunts Through Europe." The proceeds of the lecture are to be applied to the liquidation of debts against the church in this place, and, as the object is a worthy one, the Court room ought to be packed full to overflowing. Admission 25 cents. Township and borough officers Iviii save themselves a good deal of trouble and money by attending to the publication of the accounts of their respective districts. The law is very plain and explicit about thiS matter. The lowest fine is S2O and the highest $lOOO for a violation of this law. There are plenty of officers in this county to-day who are liable to one or the other of these fines if they were ar raigned for the negligent discharge of their duties. Save yourselves, gentlemen. Miifiintown, in Juniata county, must be headquarters for tramps, judging from the fol lowing which we clip from the Register of that place : "On an average from twenty to thirty tramps are all the time confined in the county jail, regularly committed for from fifteen to thirty days. From three to five armed men are required to be on guard day and night, to protect the jail from destruction, and notwith standing this precaution, it will require $2OO to repair the damage already done." Mrs. Mary McCallan, wife of J. Kinney Mc Cahan, esq., died at their residence, corner of Fifth and \Vashiugton streets, in this borough, on Wednesday evening, 12th inst., at the ripe old age of 79 years. Although she had out iivird the allotted three score and ten years her death falls with crushing weight upon her aced partner and the family circle ; but they have this to console them, that while they hare lost a fond wife and an indulgent parent, she has gained heaven and a seat hard by the throne. The funeral will take place on Fri day afternoon at 2 o'clock. 'The post office department has ordered a new postage stamp to be used on letters not pre paid. fleretofure a letter being posted and wa uting a stanip has been held in the office at which it was mailed. The postmaster at this ofike then writes to the individual addressed, saying that such a letter has been held in that office for him, the postage not having been prepaid. The new stamp which has just been ordered under the new regulation is put on the letter not prepaid and sent to the post master at the office of its destination, who is chooged with the amouut due, and to collect the same from the persons addressed on the delivery of the letter.

S. W. Beck, esq., late one of th 7; editors of the Philipsburg Journal, died at his residence in that place, on Wednesday morning of last week, in the twenty-fourth year of his age. Mr. Beck was a native of Warriorsmark, in this county, but about twelve years ago, with his parents, removed to Philipsburg, where he learned the printing trade. After working as a journeyman for some time he became as sociated with Mr. Bender in the publication of the Journal, but on account of his failing health he withdrew from the paper during the early part of last fall. He spent some time in Kansas, thinking that the climate there would be beneficial to him, but finding no relief; lie concluded to return to his home to die among his 'friends. He died of consumption, and at no time during his illness was he confined to his bed. Peace to his ashes. THE HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP RAIIROAD.-11l the Philadelphia Ledger, of Fri.lay last, the financial editor, in his money article, wrote as follows in regard to the fiutltingdon and Broad Top Railroad Company: "We are reminded that this company has run down largely within the past few years in its business and credit." D. Andrews Knight. esq., the efficient Presi• deist of the company, feeling that great in-. justice had been done the company by the article referred to, addressed the editor as follows : This is rather a grave charge to be thus arraigned at a time when it has been the rule for the business of nearly all railroads to run down. When the present management of this company began the road was found to be in a most forlorn condition. The iron was worn out, the cross ties were rotten, the track without ballast, and tie bridges and super structures all needed renewal. Such motive power and rolling stock as there was consisted of worn out engines and cars from the Penn sylvania Railroad, and the cost of moving tonnage was almost as great as the freight received for the. service. The financial con ditiun of the company was worse, if possible, than tie physical coLditiou of the road. Pay ments of all kinds had pretty much cea.:,ed, even of those of wages and salaries. The first mortgage bonds were selling at from 40 to 50 cents, and the second mortgage bonds at from 30 to 40 cents, and the consolidated at from 12 to 15 cents on the dollar, and the floating debt exceeded $400,000. Since that time the road has been almost wholly rebuilt. New irun and steel rails cover the whole of it, laid on new white oak cross-ties, and good cinder ballast. The bridges have all been rebuilt, some of iron, in the best manner, new cars have been put on, and au entire new outfit of motive power supplie I. During this period of renovation as much as $300,000 have been spent in a single year over and above the ordinary expenses of operating and main tamping the road, until nearly one million dol lars have been spent in these necessary better. ments. The interest on the first and second mortgage bonds has been paid regulatly in gold, and they sell at 110 for the former and 102 to 104 for the latter, and the third mort gage bonds sell at about 30 per cent. Where these facts are known the credit of the com pany has not run down, but has increased accordingly. B. ANDREWS KNIGHT, President.

Chew JACKSON'S BEST Sweet Navy Tobacco N0v.15-ly A CRArKsmAN CR ACKED—CIE TEMPTS TO BLOW OPEN rISHEE IL SONS' SAFE -13 FOILED, SHOT AND EVENTUALLY CAPTUREd.— About half-pest one o'clock on Monday morn ing, the Wilson brothers, who reside at the south-west corner of Seventh and Penn streets were awakened by a heavy explosion, which, at first, they thought was occasioned by the report of a railroad alarm cap, but heari , :g no trains passing they concluded to investigate, nod for this purpose A. P. Wilson went to his chamber window and peered out,aud on account of the bright moonlight he could distinguish objects at considerable distance. While stand ing at his window he observed a man cross ing the road from Fishers' mill and going di rect to the rear of their office, when the idea at once struck trim that the safe in the office had been blown open. lle awoke his brother, W. A. Wilson, and hurriedly dressing himself re paired to the residence of T. C. Fisher, to whom he related his suspicious. Mr. Fisher hastily donned his clothing, armed himself with a pair of revolvers and started for his office. When he arrived there he handed one of his pistols to W. A. Wilson, when the three proceeded to surround the building, Mr. Fisher stationing himself near the front door and the Wilson brothers in positions to cover the rear entrance, but before they were properly to cated Mr. Port Wilson observed a man speed.. in across the tale-race towards the Pennsyl vania railroad track. lie gave the alarm and be and Mr. Fisher at once opened fire upon the fleeing fugitive. Mr. Fisher fired four or five shots, and was under the impression that the fourth one had done execution, which subse quently proved to be correct, as the burglar fell in the water twice, and with difficulty clambered up the steep embankment leading to the railroad. When in the water the bur glar fired three shots at his pursuers, and two more when on the railroad. They now turn ed their attention to the interior of the office, where they found everything in confusion, the desks and drawers ransacked, the floor strewn with papers, and almost every pane of glass in the windows shattered. An entrance was gained by cutting a panel outof the rear door, and when once inside the burglar unlocked tile door and prepared the way for hasty exit in case he was disturbed in his operations. His efforts to open the safe were fruitless, only the outer door being damaged, which, for about two feet from the bottom, was sprung open not more than an inch and a half or two inches. To enable him to introduce the pow der the burglar removed a large brass plate off the door and put the powder in the screw holes, whic'u, we suppose, be ignited by means of fuse and repaired to the mill, acros the road , where he was seen by Mr. Wilson, to await the explosion. The only booty he secured was a gold pen holder, three gold pens, a meer schaum cigar holler, a knife and about $l2 or $l4 in cash. Mr. Philip Schneider, who resides ono mile and a half east of this place, came to town about 9 o'clock, and hearing of the rob bery, said that a man had called at his house that morning and asked the privilege of warming himself and drying his clothing, which he said had got wet while he was stand ing near a water-tank, the fireman throwing the hose down in such a way as to drench him to the skin. After warming himself, by invitation of Mr. Schneider he sat down to the breakfast table, but after eating a bite or two remarked that he felt sick and was unable to eat more. Ile again took his seat at the stove, and taking a roll of money from his pocket proceeded to dry it by the fire. This news being communicated to Mr. Fisher, he, in corn . pally with the Wilson brothers and Will. Smith, drove rapidly to Dlr. Schneider's, but upon their arrival there learned that their man had departed. They drove on down the road, a half mile distant, to Aruennneiro, where they learned that a man answering the des cription of the one that had been at Schnei tLes, had bearded the Johnstown express. Telegrams were sent along the line to have the man arrested. The man left the trrin at Lewistown, and repaired to a physician's office where he had a ball extracted from Lis left breast. The constable at Lewistown, when he received Mr. Fisher's dispatch, went to tine Coleman House and arrested the man, where be had gone to bed. lie was brought to this place the same evening and lodged in jail. Upon his person was found about $105.00, a pair of the latest improved Smith & Weston revolvers, and the articles taken from the office of Fisher & Sons. We visited the prisoner in his cell, on Wed nesday morning, and instead of finding a rough-looking, hardened man, we found a beardless, handsome, tender-hearted youth of only about nineteen years of age, whose pleasant countenance cannot fail to create a favorable impression. He talked freely of his trouble, and his version is about as follows : He said that he made his living by selling cheap jewelry ; that while in Harrisburg he was accosted by a man who suggested to him that they go to Huntingdon and "crack" a building which he described as standing away from other buildings and being surrounded by water ; that he accepted the proposition, and in company with his partner, arrived in this place on Sunday morning, he going to the Leister House while his partner sought an other stopping place. On Sunday night they repair .d to the office of Fisher & Sons, and gained an entrance as described in another part of this article ; that he watched on the outside while his partner operated in the building; soon after the explosion he heard footsteps approaching and remarked to his partner that they were discovered; that he attempted to make his escape to the railroad by crossing the race, and that while doing so he was shot in the left shoulder, the ball en tering behind and passing through to the front, from which position he had it extracted in Lewistown. After getting away from his pursuers he entered a stable—which, judging from his description, must have been either that of Mr. Bryan's or Mr. S. T. Brown's— where he crept under the hay a•rd lay for sonic time, suffering intensely from cold anti pain from his wound ; when he left the stable he got upon the main street and followed it to the lower end of town where he struck the railroad and brought up at a faun house. While passing down street, in the grey of the morning, he said he was fearful the rattling of his frozen clothing would awaken the people. He took the train at the first station below this place—Ardenheitn--with the intention of go ing to Harrisburg, but his wound was so pain ful that he concluded to stop at Lewistown, have the ball extracted and the wound dress ed. Soon after having this dune he fell into the hands of an officer to whom he unreser vedly confessed his guilt. The boy gives his name as Frank Smith burger, and says that his parents are both dead, the only relative he has living is a sis ter, but that he is ignorant of her wherea bouts.

At the borough election next Tuesday the citizens of Huntingdon will he called upon to vote for or against an lucre se of indebtedness for the purpose of erecting a new school house. Now, for five years, at least, Huntingdon has zreatly needed a better and more commodious public school building. This need has been constantly and rapidly increasing, until it has become at last, not simply a need, but an at,_ solute necessity. The old house on the hill contains, at the present time, not a single room well suited for school purposes, and .some of the rooms are so totally unfit from lack of proper facilities fur ventilation and from their generally for bidding character that no parent who has a 'nigh regard for the mental, moral or physical health of his children would be willing to send to them, if their real condition were known. It is true that a suitable school building will cost money, and the school tax of the borough will be somewhat increased fur several years to come, but who will be so sordid as to stop to weigh this trifling cost in the balance against the mental, moral, and physical wel fare of the children ? We venture to say that nu thoughtful, candid man will do so. The school board have been deferring the erection of a new school house fur years— making every effort to rent rooms to relieve the over-crowded condition of the sekools from time to time—because they have hesitated to increase the school tax of the borough, and now propose to build only because they are compelled by law to furnish sufficient school accommodations for all the children of the borough. There are, at present, over two hundred pupils in the Academy building, fur whom there is no room in the old house on the hill. If the trustees of tire Academy should refuse the use of their building fur public school purposes, all these children would necessarily be deprived of school accommodations, and the school board would be indictable for ne glect of their imperative duty to furnish school accommodations for all the children of the district. It has been suggested that the erection cf a new school house should be deferred for another year at least because the people have lately been heavily taxed to pay for the site for the Normal School building aed the site for the penitentiary. A very effectual answer was made to that plea by a member of the school board at the public meeting held last Friday evening. It was pertinently asked, "Shall the people of Huntingdon be willing to pay over three thousand dollars to secure the erection of a private school to educate the children of others from abroad, and not be willing to pay for the erection of a suitable building to educate their own children at home ? Or are they willing to pay ten thou sand dollars to secure the erection of a peni tentiary in their midst, and refuse to pay a few dollars each to build a comfortable school house to educate their children so that they may lie kept out of the penitentiary?" Sut, after all, the fear of increased taxation need not deter any one from voting in favor of t..e new school house, because bonds will be issued to pay for it to run for twenty or thirty years, the house will be paid for gradually, and the cost will be scarcely felt. Besides, the man who considers only his own interests in a pecuniary point of view, and refuses to consider the imperative need of the children who are to be our future citizens, and who ought to be trained up for useful citizenship, is certainly unworthy of a comfortable, quiet home in a civilized community. Every consideration that should seriously claim the attention of any public-spirited citizen strongly demands that a new and bet ter school house should he erected ,at once, and every citizen who regards the honor and welfare of the town must necessarily rot, f o r it. We have t , o much confidence in the benevolence, good sense, and honor of the citizens of Huntingdon borough to believe that any considerable number of them will so stultify themselves as to vote against this measure, so imperatively demanded. Let all vote for the proposed increase of indebtedness necessary to build a good, substantial school house, a house that will be as much an honor to the town as the present house is a reproach. TOWNSHIP ACCOUNTS —Every season, about this time, the country press attempt to impress upon townskip and borough officers their duty in regard to the publishing of their annual statements, and if they would profit by the information thus yearly given them a majority of them would not be liable to prose cution and the payment of heavy fines. In conversation with an officer is one of the southern townships of this county, the other day, he informed as that his township put up written notices and contended that this was nll that was necessary, and that by so doing they complied with the law. But such is not the case, and every one of them is liable to be fined for neglect of official duty. The law plainly requires, according to one of our ex changes, which has given the subject consid erable investigation, the auditors of the several boroughs and township to publish a statement of their accounts respectively at the close of each fiscal year, which previons to 187 G was in June. We so stated in previ ous years, but there were persons, and lawyers too, who had not given the subject a minute's attention, who argued that the law did not require any publication other than a written statement posted up in the borough or town ship. A case was tried in Northumberland county, involving a neglect of auditors to publish in the papers, and after a thorough examination the court decided against the auditors and fined them $2O each. In Alleg heny county a like case was tried and with a like result. It was all along clear to us that publication in the papers was necessary. The reason why people thought a publication by written or printed statement put up in the borough or township was a sufficient compli sum with the law was because the act of 1P74 so stated, but the proviso to the act says as follows : Nothing in this P act shall be construed to in terfere with the present taw, which requires annual statements of the receipts and expend itures of the borough councils, road commis siosers supervisors, overseers of the poor and school directors to he advertised in the weekly papers of the county. From this it is Ce.tr that the written or printed statement to put up in the borough or township is a publication in addition to the publication in the newspapers, for were it not so the act itself would be practically of no effect. Several laws have been passed upon this sueject since 1874, and the whole of thew sum up thus : Ems's'. The auditors are required in each borough and township to settle the accounts thereof, and to publish the same not only in newspapers, but also by written or printed statements put up in the most public places in the boroughs and townships, as soon after the close of the fiscal year, which is on the first Monday in April, as possible. SECOND. If the borough or towlist.iip is in debt, it must be included in the statement, together with the valuation of property, etc., and published in at least two newspapers, and embraced in the written or printed statement also. It is necessary that the auditors of the respective boroughs and townships should go to work at once and settle the accounts as they are in duty bound to do, and have them published as the law directs. When the borough or township has no indebtedness neglect to publish incurs a fine of $2O ; but if the borough or township is in debt the neglect incurs a fine of one thousand dollars. We would advise those who read this article to cut it out and preserve it, so that it may be held for reference. NEW SCHOOL iiOIJSE QUESTION— gEETING or CITIZENS.—In pursuance of public notice, a meetinv of the citizens of Hunting . - don was held in the Court House on Friday evening, the 7th inst., to consider the ques tion of increasing the debt of the school district for the purpose of erecting a new school building, which question is to be deter mined at the coming borough election. J. G. Boyer, esq., president of the School board, was called to the chair, and M. S. Lytle elected Secretary. lion. R. M Speer, a member of the Board, made a statement of the reason that had led the Directors to propose an increase of the debt, and it very earnest and eloquent argu ment in favor of a new school building and of increased and improved school accommoda tions for the children. lie said that the erec tion of a new house was only a question of time, that it must be built, and that it was to the interest of taxpayers to take advantage of the present low prices of material and labor. There are now fuur public school 3 in the Academy building for which there is no room in the school buildings of the borough. If for any reason the use of th It building could no longer be obtained, what would become of the children who now go to those schools ? They would be turned out upon the street• They could not possibly get into the other schools. condition of the old echo , ' building on the bill is such as to render it dangerous and unfit for use. The roof leaks, so that in wet weather it is too damp to be occupied without discomfort and danger to health. The floors are rotten, and the whole building is shaken by the storm. What would the people of lluntingdon say if the walls should be blown down and a score of children killed ? It wuuld be murder. Mr. Speer gave a statement of the number of children in the schools, showing the prima ry schools to be overcrowded. In the infant school there are about eighty children in a room not large enough for one half the num ber. Ile said it was to the interest of a very large proportion of the taxpayers to erect the new building. It was especially to the inter est of the laboring men and of all others who are dependent upon the public schools for the education of their children. lie answered very pointedly the argument that the people had raised large sums of money to secure the Normal School and Middle Penitentiary at this place and that they should not be called upon to bear any additional expenditures at this time. lion. S. T. Brown spoke in favor of the erection of a new building on the site of the old one, and of the purchase of the Academy building by the directors. The building now on the hill had not been properly planned. It was not built with proper reference to ventilation and comfort. It could not be altered so as to improve it iu these respects. Besides, it was in too dilapidated condition to be repaired. James A. Brown, esq., suggested that it might be well enough to wait another year before incurring the expense of a new build ing. • Mr. William J. Geissenger stated that he was not much of a tax payer but was largely a citizen of Huntingdon, urged earnestly the new school house and expressed his intention of voting in favor of an increase of the debt. Prof. J. Irvin White, principal of the public schools, stated the condition of the present building, and urged the erection of a new one. W. B. Zeigler, esq., for the purpose of ta king the sense of the meeting, moved that the debt ought to be increased and the new school house built. Oo this motion Wm. Africa and R. M. Speer spoke briefly. It was carried without a dis senting vote. M. S. LYTLE, Sec'y. TO SPORTSMEN—THE WAY TO DO IT.— On several occasions we have spoken of the propriety of sowing wild rice along the shores of the Juniata and its tributary streams for the purpose of enticing wild water fowl to our waters and affording harbors and feeding places for them, and we now have a suggestion to make in regard to procuring seed fur this pur pose, which, we think, should meet with favor among sportsmen and all others interested. We would suggest that some gentleman be selected to whom contributions may be made, and that all persons who feel interestenough to assist in trying the experiment, at once send in what they are willing to give. In this way a fund could be raised for the purchase of seed without much cost to any one person, and as the seed must be sown early iu the Spring the matter should be attended to at once. In the meantime we will take the responsibility to receive any contributions that persons may desire to make, and when a gentleman is na med as treasurer of the fund we will hand over to him any monies that we may have. We are anxious to have the rice sown, as we feel con fident that it will prove as successful here as in the western waters, which now swarm with wild fowl. It will not only give plenty of game, but it will at the same time prevent fish pirates from using the seine in any stream where the rice grows. Attend to this matter at once, and let the seed be ready for plant ing when the proper time arrives. Since the above was in type we have seen a letter addressed to W. W. Dorris, esq., from Valentine Brothers, of Wis., who inform him that they have only thirty bushels of seed on hand. The seed will cost $3 per bushel, and if we are to try the experiment this spring, immediate action must be taken. The Delinquent Subscriber. One day last week, while sad and dreary, As we wended, weak and weary, Across the unswept floor, We heard, at Drst a gentle tapping, Then it became an earnest rapping, At our sanctum door. "Come in 1" we said ; while yet he pondered, And in silence we still wondered What for u 3 could be in store; Then, the door-bolt gently turning, Iu lie walked. Our cheek was burning! Thoughts of crimson gore. "A::e you the man who does the writing ?" (What word will rhyme with this but fighting I Quickly thought we o'er and o'er.) "Sir, we are," we gently told him, Nodding to the boys to hold him If he tried to beat us sore. "Then you'll please give we a credit Opposite that little debt, For two doliars wore, I like your paper, and will take it As long as you will strive to make it As good as it has been before." We jumped I He dodged I Thuswe missed him, Or surely we would have kissed him, No matter if the boys did roar ; So seldom trea'ed in this manner, We felt inclined to sing Hosanuab I Only this and nothing more.
