his sleigh was rather worse the mishap.
The Bedford Methodists have a church debt
upon their hands, and the other evening they
met to talk over the matter, and devise means,
if possible, to liquidate it. A lady of the con
gregation, who had written the New York
Tribune for its opinion of the best plan to raise
money for the purpose, read its view of the
situation as follows : "We recommend a re
vival of religion."
Inasmuch as we pay twenty cents per pound
for grease, ycleped buttes, the Everett Press
wants to know what we have to pay for good
butter. Well, Colonel, it has been so long
since we sampled any toothsome butter that
we are loath to risk our reputation for correct
ness, by quoting prices ; we are inclined to
think, however, on account of the 'scarcity of
the commodity in this market, that it would
almost bring its weight in gold.
This from the Everett Press of last week:
Elder Dunn, one of the workers present at the
Sunday School Convention in this place, from
Huntingdon, is a jolly old talker. He striaes
oat right from the shoulder at prevailing er
rors and shams, and rarely fails to hit the ob
ject, and certainly makes centre shots. His
plain, off-hand, earnest remarks were greatly
enjoyed by his hearers, even by the ungodly
portion of them. Father Hadderman was the
patriarch of the convention, minister Cremer
was the silver tongued orator, but Elder Dunn
was the man of practical ideas and forcible
expressions.
A gentleman of this town, whose heart is in
the right place, took it into his head the other
day to raise a sufficient sum of money, by
subscription, to purchase a cheap overcoat for
a poor man who Lad been confined to his
house the greater part of the winter by a se
vere attack of rheumatism. Ile presented his
paper to a gentleman who is looked upon as
being the wealthiest man in town, and after
reading the brief and learning what use was to
be made of the money, he subscribed cud paid
over the stupendous sum office cents. Such
unparalleled benevolence if riot rewarded in
this world certainly will be in the next. "Ile
that seeth his brother have need," Stc.
John Lewis, a pioneer member of the Kansas
colony, which left Ebensburg a couple of
weeks ago, died in that State on the sth inst.
He had been in Kansas for nearly a year, and
on the day of his death he and other members
of the colony went to Ellis, the nearest rail
road point to their claims, expecting to meet
his wife and parents, but upon their arrival
there they were informed by telegraph that
the colony had been detained in starting. Be
ing disappointed at not mceting his loved ones,
lie concluded to return to the rude home which
he had prepared for them, but ere he reached
it he was a corpse, having died on the way
thither. Imagine the feelings cf his young
wife when the sad news reached her.
At a meeting of the Union Game Associa
tion of Cassville, a few evenings since, a reso
lution was passed agreeing that the Associa
tion will pay two dollars for the killing of
every dog caught running deer, and five dol
lars tor information that will lead to the ar
rest and conviction of any person running
deer with dogs. If any person produces the
scalp of a dog to the Association, and makes
oath that the animal was killed whilst chasing
deer, such person will be paid $2 for each and
every scalp. This action of our Cassville
sportsmen is exactly right, and should be
imitated in other sections of the county. If
the game laws were more rigidly enforced
there would not be such a universal complaint
of a scarcity of game.
The Ilarrisburz Telegraph says : A Phila
delphia physician declare she has discovered
or traced diphtheria to its true source. Ile al
leges that it is exclusively due to certain fungi
found in raw apples. This will not be ac
cepted by every one as the true explanation,
but there are those who honestly believe that
raw apples and oranges produce whooping
cough. Same years ago a number of eminent
physicians in France asserted this as a scien
tific fact. It is a fact that no one ought to cat
a raw apple without first carefully cleaning it
by a thorough wiping, and the more careful,
always peel it. There can he no harm done
by giving circulation to these facts.
GARY'S MAO NETIC MOTon.—The March
number of Harper's .Magazine contains a
lengthly article, fully illustrated, descriptive
of the motor invented by our former townsman,
Wesley W. Gary. The article was prepared
by E. W. Bacon, csq., of Boston. Copies
,of
Harper. containing the article in full can be
had at the JOURNAL Store for 35 cents per
copy. We make the following extract :
With an ordinary horseshoe magnet, a bit
of soft iron, and a common shingle nail,
practical inventor, who for years has been
pondering over the power lying dormant in
the magnet, now demonstrates as his discov
ery a fact of the utmost importance in tuag
uetic science, which has hitherto escaped the
observation of both scientists and practical
electricians, namely, the existence of a neutral
line in the magnetic field—a line where the
polarity of an induced magnet ceases, and
beyond which it changes. %Vitt' equally
simple appliances he shows the practical
utilization of his discovery in such a way as
to produce a magnetic motor, thus opening
up a bewildering prospect of the possibilities
before us in revolutionizing the present meth
ods of motive power through the substitutron
of a wonderfully cheap and safe agent. By
his achievement Mr. Wesley W. Gary has quite
upset the theories of magnetic philosophy
hitherto prevailing, and lifted magnetism out
from among the static forces where science
has placed it to the position of a dynamic
power. The Gary magnetic motor, the result
of Mr. Gary's long years of study, is in a word,
a simple contrivance which furnishes its own
power, and will run until worn out by the
force of friction, coming. dangerously near to
that awful bugbear, perpetual motion.
At Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, Mr. Gary
made his first practical demonstration, and
allowed his discovery to be examined and the
fact published. lie had long been satisfied,
from his ex, eriments, that lie could devise a
"cut-off," the means of neutralizing the at
tractive power of a stationary magnet on
another raised above it and adjusted on a pivot,
unlike poles opposite, and so arrange this cut
off as to work automatically, he could produce
motion in a balanced magnet. To this end he
persistently experimented, and it was only
about four years ago that he made the discov
cry, the key to his problem, which is the
basis of his present motor, and upsets our
philosophy. In experimenting one day with
a piece of soft iron upon a magnet he made
toe discovery of the neutral line and the
change of polarity. At first he gave little
attention to the discovery of the change of
polarity, not thin recognizing its significance,
being absorbed entirely by the discovery of the
neutral line opened up to him. Here was
the point for his cut-off. For a while he ex
perimented entirely with batteries, but in
September, 1874, he succeeded in obtaining a
movement independent of the battery. Io
June, the following year, Mr. Gary exhibited
this continuous movement to a number of
gentlemen, protecting himself by covering the
cut-off with copper, so as to disguise the real
material used, and prevent any one from rob
bing, him of his discovery. The publication
iu the local newspapers of the performance of
the little machine, which was copied far and
wide, excited muchl interest.
But the inventor was by no means satisfied.
He had succeeded in securing a continuous
motion, but not a practical motor. He had
invented a unique plaything, but not a ma
chine that would do man's work. So he made
further experiments in one direction and
another, using for a long time the battery ;
and it was not until some time after he moved
to Boston (which WAS about two years ago)
that he was convinced that the points in the
change of polarity, with which he was so lit
tle impressed when he first hit upon them
along with his discovery of the neutral line,
were the true ones to work upon. Thereafter
his progress was most rapid, and in a little
while he had constructed working models, not
only to his own satisfaction but to that of
those experts who had the fairness to give
them a critical and thorough examination,
clearly demonstrating his ability to secure mo
tion and power, as they have never before been
secured, from self feeding and self acting ma
chines. His claim, as lie formally puts it, is
this: "I have discovered that a straight pie^e
of iron placed across the poles of a magnet,
and near to their end, changes its polarity
while in the magnetic field, and before it
comes in contact with the magnet, the fact
being, however, that actual contact is guarded
against. The conditions are that the thick
ness of the iron must be proportioned to the
power of the magnet, and that the neutral line,
or line of change in the polarity of the iron,
is nearer or more distant from the magnet
according to the power of the latter and the
thickness of the former. My whole discovery
is based upon this change of polarity in the
iron, with or without a battery." Power can
be increased to any extent, or diminished, by
the addition or withdrawal of magnets.
Mr. Gary is forty one years old, having been
born in 1837. During the years devoted to
working out his problem lie has sustained
himself by the proceeds from the sale of a
few useful inventions made from time to time
n-ben he was forced to turn aside from his
experiments to raise funds. From the sale of
one of these inventions—a simple little thing—
he realized something like ten thousand dol
tars.

TUESIAY'S ELECTION ! !
WE'VE G'2BBLED 'EM UP ! !
A REPUBLICAN WALK-OVER!
The election in this botough, on Tuesday
last, resulted in a magnificent victory for the
Republicans. They elected time Burgess.Coun,
clime'', School Directors, Assessors, Assibtant
Assessors, Constables, Auditor, Judge of Eke
Lion in three Wards, and Registering Assesor
in three Wards. There were three tickets in
the field, and the contest was warm through
out the thy. Some of the more sanguine
Greenbackers expected to sweep the board
and elect their entire ticket, but when the
votes were counted it was discovered that there
was hardly a corporal's guard of them left in
town. Their party is on its last legs, and by
next election it will have gone "where the
woodbine twiceth." But enough; we won't
hit a fallen foe. The new school house project
went through with a large majority. Here are
the figures :

CAPT GEO. C. WILSON, of Alexandria,
who, a few months ago, started a semi Weekly
paper at Newcastle, Pa., called the Local Press,
has been compelled to retire from it on account
of failing health. Capt. Wilson has been at
his home, in Alexandria, for some time past,
suffering, we understand, from pulmonary
disease. We find, in the Press, of Friday last,
the following letter, written to Col. B. F.
Winger, of Newcastle, which we take the lib
erty of copying, and which will be read with
regret by the many friends and acquaintances
of Capt. Wilson in our county :
ALEXANDRIA, PA., Feb. 11, 1879.
I write to tell you that I wiil not be able to
take charge of the LOCAL PRESS again. The
doctors say I will not be able to get out of the
house till spring, but it may be they don't
know. I have had days continuously of en
couragement since I got home, when I thought
I was going to get well, succeeded by days of
corresponding depression, when all my ail
ments returned with renewed power. I will
hope—but then I may never get well—and if
I do, out of gratitude for my deliverance, and
to avoid "committing suicide," I will consider
it my duty to go to open air work, and to
avoid the printing business. Of course, we
cannot tell, and after thinking over the latter
clause of the above, I am constrained to say
that a year or two may find the well and
among the type.
IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.—A. special
meeting of the Board of Trade was held on
Saturday night, at which a subject of great
importance to the business interests of this
place was discussed, or rather laid before the
Board. lion. Alexander Port stated that
Robert Hare Powell, esq., of Philadelphia, in
tends erecting a rurnace i , and in order to raise
the necessary funds to do so, has mortgaged
some ten or twelve thousand acres of land in
this and neighboring counties for the sum of
$125,000, issuing bonds therefor in sums of
$lOO, $5OO and $l,OOO. The subject was fully
and freely discussed, showing the advantages
to be derived from the establishment of such
an enterprise in our midst. We have the
Penitentiary and the Normal School located
here through the agency of the Board of Trade,
and now that this body has concluded to make
an effort to secure the building of this new
enterprise in our midst we feel inclined to be
lieve that it will prove successful. A com
mittee of Conference was appointed to inter
view Mr. Powell on the subject. The com
mitte consists of Messrs. Wm. Dorris, David
Blair, Alex. Port, R. R. - Bryan, R. A. Miller,
S. E. Henry and S. T. Brown. The next meet
ing of the Board will be held on Saturday
evening, March Ist, at which time the com
mittee will report progress.

MULLEIN CURES CONSUMPTION. — A
correspondent of the Lexington Press writes
ats follows about the flower of a well-kt.own
plant : ' 1 have discovered a remedy for con
sumption. lt has cured a number Af cases
after they had commenced bleeding at the
lungs and the hectic flush was already on the
cheek.
After trying this remedy to my own satis
faction, I have thought philanthropy required
that 1 should let it be known to the world. It
is common mullein steeped strongly and sweet
ened with pure sugar, and drank freely. Young
or old plants are good dried in the shade and
kept in clean bags. The medicine must he
continued from three to six mouths, accord
lug to the nature of the disease.
It is very good fur the blood vessels also.
It strengthens and builds up. the system in
stead of taking away the strength ; it makes
2 . .00d blood, and takes inflammation away frow
the luegs. It is the wish of the writer that
every periodical in the United States, Canada
and Eirope, should publish this receipt for
the benefit of the human family. Lay this
by and keep it in the house ready for use."
WHEN your horse is lame and yon have
tried every remedy without success, and you
despair of curing him, and begin to think of
trading him off, before doing so, obtain a
bottle of Gile's Liniment lodide Ammonia,
and see its effects in twenty-four hours.
Those are the kind of cases Dr. Giles likes ;
where all other remedies fail, his is the one
that sever disappoints. The doctor will

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENTS SAY
ANOTHER SIIORTPLAIN TALK TO THE
LIQUOR SELLERS, AND THE FRIENDS
GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDS :—Though we have
great reasou to be thankful that Local Option
failed last winter in the Legislature, it failed
by such a small majority to cause just alarm,
and now it is up and agitated again "like a
spectre that will down at no man's bidding."
The Legislature adjourred last year with a
grand spree, in which many of the members,
including some Prohibitionists and Murphy
men, who had wrecked their life-boats, became
pretty drunk. This is very encouraging, and
it remains to be seen whether the present
legislature will wind up so auspiciously. They
had also a jollification in Congress, at the ad
journment, and one of the committees were
all drunk, and unfit for business, except a
"nigger." Such "niggardly" men are not fit
for Congress.
The women commenced prosecution here,
a year or two ago, with some success, but the
men became alarmed, doubted the propriety
of the thing, and it was stopped, very much
to our satisfaction. During the contagion the
churches were closed, and the billiard saloons
and other places of business left open, and we
OF FREED 0M GENERALLY.
did a thriving busi.ess, as many thought that
liquor was a preventive, and continued drink
inc as a matter of taste, when the alarm sub
sided, and this has helped our trade ever since.
It would be a good thing for us if the churches
could be closed all the time, and revivals once
for all, and finally stopped. An illegal dis
tillery was discovered last summer, an old
man and a young man were arreated ; the
former gave bail, and the latter gave leg-bail.
We have had a very lively time in politics.
Though the parties were afraid to nominate
any of us, still the old parties patronized us
largely for fear of losing our votes, and the
new party did the same with the hope of gain
ing them. Thus we hold the balance of power.
The Prohibitory party is the only one that
gives us no patronage, but it don't matter as
they scarcely amount to a corporal's guard,
temperance men very seldom voting as they
pray. It speaks well for our business that a
new Penitentiary is needed in the State, as we
furnish the reinforcements, and it is to be lo
cated here, which is a very proper thing, as
there arc a great many candidates both for its
offices and its cells, especially the latter. It
will be a very convenient way to dispose of
men who meddle with our customers, who
feel ii,clined to indulge themselves on Sunday,
or at night. Some young gentlemen, very
nice and respectable in day time, lately had a
big night spree. They were arrested, and
failing to pay their fine most of them were
sent to jail, but we being privileged characters
were not disturbed for selling liquor to minors.
This is just as it should be, and we have not
been interfered with in getting license, ever
since some of us got license when the court
was open an hour or so, the churches all being
closed during the contagion. As for signers to
our petitions for license about twelve men
answer the purpose for all the landlords iu
town. They are excellent repeaters and should
be well provided for while in active life, and
afterwards retire on a pension. A juror was
lately so drunk as to be unfit for duty, and the
same court that licensed us to make him so,
fined hint $2OO, and the court was closed on
account of it, at a cost to the county of $lOOO
which, of course, the christian and law-abiding
tax-payers will cheerfully pay, as our business
must go on. It seems that some christians
can hardly afford to support the Gospel or
sustain it revival in our part of the town
where the elite generally dwell and where our
trade most prospers. This is a good sign, and
as the big fish eat the little fish, so we natu
rally consume and destroy every thing but
what is strictly necessary. We don't want
much education, and don't wan't any religion
except a little for ornament. It is necessary
for us to have large profits, and to do a big
business on a small capital, because we must
bribe people even to let us alone. We must
be liberal in gifts and purchases that pious
and respectable people may be quiet while
their sons are becoming drunkards and their
daughters drunkards' wives. We must fee
good lawyers, bribe legislators, and buy up
generally every body that's for sale. In doing
this with a liberal hand we still hope to enjoy
the largest liberty, and the greatest prosperity,
that a great and free country can afford CO a
business so profitable to the favored few, who
have the necessary influence, capital and skill
to engage in it.
A FRIEND TO FREEDOM.
CII URCH FAIRS and FES 111 VALS AG AIN.
MR. EDITOR :-The article that appeared in
your paper of the 31st ult., on "Church Fairs
and Festivals," was a valuable one, and would
that it might be read by thousands in our land.
The concluding words, which are these, "We
trust that the thoughts we have advanced on
this subject will cause the friends of church
fairs and festivals to stop and consider this
matter," should be considered and pondered
well by all who call themselves christians, for
no thoughtful christian could see in such
things anything but insult and mockery offered
to their Maker. We thotight, on reaching the
conclusion of the article, that we could best
show our entire appreciation of such senti
ments, as well as thanks for them, by length
ening it out a little, that in case the first ar
ticle should be overlooked, as some good
things often are, this would lead to its being
hunted up, and read with more attention. The
true origin, no doubt, of fairs and festivals
came from the love of self indulgence instead
of self- lenial, and the attempt to hide the
former evil under the garb of the latter virtue,
by enlisting the world to do what should be
done solely by christians. Who are chris
tians, and what are they ? It has been truly
said, "The christian is the World's Bible."
True it is, and they are diligently read, too,
by the worldlirg,and when called upon to come
in and buy, at the fair and festival, often think
thus, (tho'perhaps prudence, politeness,or good
nature forbid thinking aloud) "I don't see
that you deny yourself anything, or you would
not have to call upon me. I thoughtthe Saviour
said "If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross and follow
me." I think if they call themselves His dis
ciples they should be willing to do as He com
mands, and deny themselves of a little here
and a little there, they would be much more
independent as a church, and have more of
the spirit of their master. But, however, I
go and give them a qu Lrter or so, I shan't miss
it for I'll get that much fun." So they go in,
when in, who can discern this one from the
christian who gets it up ? Alas! too often the
name is the only thing that separates them.
My Christian friends, should this be so? Should
He who left His Father's throne, and came to
earth and lived a life of self-denial and sor
row, and at last died on the cross for us that
we might live eternally, be thus insulted in
His own church, by His professed followers ?
0 pause and think what He has done for us,
and is doing every moment of our lives, how
rich and full His blessings are continually, and
in return for all His goodness_ to be denied
what is due Him. Yes, what truly belongs to
Him. Every christian who keeps back the
tenth of his income robs the Lord, and after
robbing Him of His own, to resort to such
ways and means to carry on His work. It
would be well for those about to use such
means for raising money for their Master to
"read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the
Bth and 9th verses of the third chapter of
Malichi. They will certainly see the long
suffering and patience of God towards them,
nothing but the boundless love and interces
sion of Christ could avert His wrath from de
scending on those who dare to insult Him in
the house that is called by His name. He is
"the same yesterday, to-day, and forever,"
and says as truly to-day as on the day it was
uttered, "The silver is mine, and the gold is
mine," and that He looks upon us as only
stewards, yes only, who will have to give a
strict account of the money spent upon our
selves, instead of given to His cause, and if
properly used would be more than enough for
all church purposes, would forever abolish
such disgraceful means, and put an end to the
triumph of the worldling. EQUITY.

LITERARY NOTES
WIDE AWAKE is always notable for some one
paper of permanent value to both old and
young; and in March Wide Awake this "star
paper" is of special interest, "The Perkins
Institution for the Blind" with its dozen
illustrations and its crayon portraits of Dr.
Howe and Laura Bridgman. Also noticeable
is No. 111 of the American Artists Series by
S. G. W. Benjamin, giving a crayon portrait
of R. Swain Gifford sketching out-or-doors,
with a finely engraved copy of one of his
latest paintings, "Little River Dartmouth,
Mass." The boys will enjoy the funny story
of "Why didn't lie Catch a Pox ?" by J. R.
Stewart, with its four funny pictures by "Boz,"
and will laugh heartily over the pictorial
four-page poem of "Johnny Skye and What
Came of His Skating." There is a fine art
poem by Margaret J. Preston, "The Child
Raphael," accompained by a lovely drawing,
and Maurice Thompson has a Bear Hunting
piece of verse. The little boys' serial, "Don
Quixote, Jr.," by John Brownjohn, is very
amusing ; while "St. Olave's," the big boys
school serial, is of breathless interest. "The
Dogherry Bunch," the third serial, promises
to be a very bright story. There is another
of the true "Pet Stories" which have become
a feature of Wide Awake, this time about "A
Tame Crow." Then there is a Large Print
story, and Puzzles and Music, and the report
of what "The Wide Awake Helpers" (a society
of the little readers of Wide Awake, with a
membership all over the United States) have
done this year for the poor children of Boston.

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE, for March is an un
usually brilliant number. It opens with a
spirited illustrations, engraved on steel, "Let
Me Catch You, You Young Rogues." This is
followed by a double-sized colored fashion
plate, which is altogether the most beautiful
we have ever seer. Then comes a double
size pattern for a tidy, on Java Canvas, printed
in the appropriate colors. Then a charming
engraving, illustrating a powerfully 'written
story, "My Evening Star." Then about fifty
other engravings, illustrating the latest fash
ions, patterns for the Work-Table, &c., &c.
The stories in this number are even better
than usual, and they are always remarkably
good in "Peterson." A Supplement is sent
out with the number, with a full-size pattern
for the latest style of Polonaise. It is a stand
ing wonder to us, as to all others, how so
superior a magazine can be published at so
low h price ; and it is only to be explained ,
as the publisher explains it, as a consequence
of an enormous circulation. Ile "prefers a
small profit," he says, "on a la:ge edition, to
a large profit on a small edition." No lady
should be without this magazine. The terms are
but two dollars a year, with great deductions
to clubs, and handsome premiums to persons
getting up clubs. Specimens are sent, grat:s;
to persons wishing to get up clubs, so that
ladies may judge for themselves before sub
scribing. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306

Taking Mean Advantage is a story by Edward
Bellamy its which love conquers intemperance•
There is a second contribution about Michael
Faraday, the scientist, in which the vigor of
his religion and the attractiveness of his
character are shown.
An ariicle from the Journal des Economistes
by an intelligent Chinese gentleman shows
that infanticide in China is not as has been
supposed, proportionately greater than else
where, and tells of the care which has been
taken for many centuries by the Chinese
government of the infants relinquished by
their parents because of poverty. An article
on changing Creeds points out the advantage
of the positive over the negative method, in
that the latter so often tends to general eke[.-
ticism. A Working-woman's, Bureau tells
of Miss Jane Helps and her work. Our
Peculiar Sunday-School Teacher gives some
objections to the International Lesson system,
and suggestions on various other points.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has An Hour with
Gwendolyn, and there are also Our Debt to
Socrates, a long installment of Calvin the

The poets of the number are Lucy Larcora,

Mr. Charles R. Crowley, of Huntingdon, Pa.,
to Miss Rate McClellan, of this place.
A large assembly gathered in the church to
witness the happy marriage, which appears to
have been one 01 Cupid's own delightful unions.
Mr. Crowley, happy as a princeand tastefully and
elegantly attired, with his beautiful and riebly
dressed bride on his arm, entered the church and
proceeded up the centre aisle, preceded dm by
Mr. John Lynn and Miss Kate Powers, and see
ond by Mr. Al, Garman and Miss Liens Coble as
“groomsmen" and "bridesmaids," and advanced
directly to the altar or chancel, where the rever
end gentleman was waiting to receive them. Pint
a short prayer, then a few wards of admonition,
explanatory of the origin and importance of the
marriage state, and then the ceremony. The res
ponses were audible to everybody. All over in
few minutes, and then the proud husband and
happy wife led the way to the carriage followed
by the groomsmen and bridesmaids. The bridal
party throughout conducted themselves with easy
dignity and grai•o, and we never saw a nicer wed
