preceding it.
The M. E. Conference is now in session at

About two-thirds' of the roof w 9.3 burned off

have been destroyed.

The funeral of Miss Maggie McMurtrie, on
Saturday afternoon, was very largely attended,
and the cortege would have been still larger

vailed all of that day. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Mr. A. Nelson
field.
W. L. FOULK,
All the scandal-mongers of this town, old
and young, have been enjoying themselves for
a week or two over a nasty piece of news
started by some one of the members of that
abominable class of people. They feast on a
thing of this character with as much relish as
a buzzard on a carrion.
We learn from good authority that the store
of our subscriber friend, Mr. „Times Brewster,
of Saltillo, was again burglarized on Tuesday
night. Who did the mean act and how much
wets taken, we are at this time unable to say.
We hope the guilty parties may be found out
and punished to the full extent of the law.—
Mt. Union Times of last week.
On Saturday night last, at an hour when
decent people were in bed, a gang of hood
lumsaroused the residents in the neighborhood
of Fourth and Mifflin streets by their drunken
yells and blackguard conduct. If our town
had a sufficient police force these midnight
orgies could be broken up, but one man can
not do much towards accomplishing that much
desired result.
The Juniata Tribune, of last week, has this
to say about the liberality of a Huntingdonian :
Henry Isenberg, engineer on the P. R. R.,
presented Thomas Johnson, of Patterson, with
a full set of smoking apparatus, consisting of
two meerschaum pipes, meerschaum cigar and
cigarette holder. Thomas was a study as he
learned of the extent of his affliction. He has
a big time trying to smoke out of them all at
once.
The Lewistown Sentinel is apparently very
cross at the verdict rendered against Mifflin
county in the bridge suit recently tried in it s
neighboring county of Juniata. If there ever
was a righteous verdict rendered by a jury this
was one, and it don't look well for the Sentinel
to intimate that the commissioners will not
pay the amount if they can avoid it by any
"hook or crook." An honest jury could render
no other verdict.
The Spring term of the Huntingdon Normal
School, which was advertised to open on the
first of April, has been postponed until the
Bth of the same month. This is done in order
that a little more time may be had in which
to complete the building. Students should
report on the 7th of .April. Prr f. ZUCK in
forms us that he expects the building to be
filled during the first term, as already upwards
of one hundred students are enrolled.
Conductor Harry Thomas was called to stop
off the way passenger train west yesterday
afternoon at Huntingdon to see his father,
Captain Thomas, who was dangerously ill.
Conductor James Stewart, visiting his mother
who bad the misfortune to fall and break her
arm last Monday, brought the train to this
city.—Altoona Tribune, of Saturday. These
are both H intingdon boys, and as clever fel
lows as ever rau a train or punched a ticket-
If you fail to go to Penn Street Hall, on
Saturday evening next, at which time Alfred
J. Knight, will give one of his popular histor
ical costume entertainments, you will miss a
rare treat. This gentleman Las received the
encomiums of the press wherever be has been,
and our people should greet him with a
crowded house on this occasion. Reserved
seats 50 cents. Admission tickets 35 and 25
cents. For sale at Stewart & Flenner's hard-

Our young friend, Harry Jacob, son of our
jovial and clever townsman, Benj. Jacob, esq.,
is now a full-fledged M. D., having graduated
from Jefferson Medical College, with high
honors, one day last week. The Doctor has
many warm friends in the institution, as is
shown by the numerous valuable presents be
received on the occasion of his graduation,
among which was a case of first-class surgical
instruments. He is a close student, and we
predict for him a successful future.
We are glad to know that our friend Jesse
R. Akers, is meeting with success in the man
ufacture of segars. He buys more revenue
stamps than any other manufacturer in the
district, which is an undeniable proof that be
sells more goods than any other. He advertises
his establishment in "the handsomest and best
paper in the county," which accounts for his
large trade. All other business men who want
to increase their trade should do the same
thing. It will pay handsomely to do so.
Four little boys up in Altoona, ranging in
age from four to six years, found a railroad
signal cap, in a lot, in that city, one day last
week, and, child-like, they went to work to
investigate it, and for this purpose one of the
little fellows suggested that they break it.—
They struck it with an axe, and a terrible ex
plosicn followed, and the four children were
knocked down, all of them more or less in
jured. One of the little fellows named Johnny
51'Closky sustained injuries from which he
died a few hours after the accident. His ab
domen was cut open sufficient to allow his in
testines to protrude from the wound, one of
which was cut in twain. It is a mystery bow
the cap got to where it was found by the
children.
Our down-the-road contemporary, the New
port News, tells quite an interesting story con
cerning a "commercial traveler," named W.
H. Kennedy, during a recent visit to Altoona ,
in which be said Kennedy frightened a creditor
into paying him $6OO out of a bill of $705 due
the firm be is drumming for. We fear that
the story is manufactured out of the. whole
cloth, and that our friend Fry, of the News,
has been imposed upon. An occurrence of
this kind, to take place in Altoona, without
coming to the notice of the wide-awake re
porters of the Tribune or the Call, is simply
out of the question, and seeing no mention of
the occurrence in either of the papers in that
city, we look upon the story as being con
siderably fishy.
From the Hollidaysburg Standard of the sth
inst., we clip the following item : "Our clever
Williamsburg friend, George S. Riley, has de
termined to pull up stakes and locate in the
borough of Huntingdon on or about the 15th
of the present month, where he proposes en
gaging in the mercantile trade. We heartily
wish him much success in his new departure,
and take pleasure in commending him to the
citizens of the ancient borough as an honor
able, wide-awake business man and a gentle
man of fine social qualities." Mr. Riley is now
a citizen of our town, and from our brief ac••
quintance with him we unhesitatingly endorse
all that the Standard says about him. On the
first of April he will open a store in Yenter's
building, at which time he will tell the peo
ple, through the columns of the JOURNAL, what
he has for sale. We welcome him to our midst,
and trust that he may never regret having
pitched his tent in "ye ancient borough."

ciurv.—The WOMAICS Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the Presbytery of Huntingdon, Pa.,
held its Fourth Annual Meeting in the Pres
byterian Church of this place, on Wednesday
and Thursday, March sth and 6th. There
were present seventy nine ladies representing
twenty nine Anxiiiaries and Mission Bands,
and fo.ir churches in which there are no so _
cietie;, besides a large number from our own
and other cnngregations in the town. The
'fleeting was opened on Wednesday, :it 2 r.

David Blair. President of the Huntingdon
Auxiliary, who, on behalf of that Society,
made the following
ADDRESS OF WELCOME,
Ladies of the Presbyterian Society, and all
friends from near and far, it falls to our lot,
on behalt of the Iluntingdon Auxiliary, to ex
tend to you a cordial, sincere, and hearty wel
come to our town, our church, and our homes.
May each leave behind all anxious cares, all
burdens of past and sorrowful memories, and
may the time you spend here be fraught with
deepest interest to the cause you represent.
We are rejoiced that we are permitted to
see this day, and this occasion for the min
filing of old friends who have heard the note
of invitation, and come up hither with words
of cheer. We are thankful for this noble or
ganization which helps t& identity our inter
ests; for all it has accomplished, and for all the
blessed influences it is bound to exert here
and elsewhere. May this gathering be for its
future prosperity, and may the benediction of
Heaven rest upon as in all our deliberations
while here assembled.
Since our last Annual Meeting there has
been much to encourage. The sowers and the
reapers are coming up to engage in this earn
est life-work ; quite a number of God's chil
dren, girded with heavenly wisdom and cour
age, have gone forth to the far-off mission
fields and the less distant soil of California
and Mexico.
As the way on all sides is now open for the
Gospel, shall we not pray the "Lord of the
harvest," to send forth more laborers ? Pray
er has been styled the "key to unlock the
treasures of silver and gold," which are need
ed, as well as spiritual treasures, to no battle
for the Lord. "The silver and the gold are
His," but we may not come forgetting to bring
to the altar our offering consecrate, whether
of gold, of heart treasures, or the very light of
our homes—our children. Let :mothers hesi
tate to with told what belongs to God. Ile
may suddenly call for them, and deny us the
blessing that would attach to such an offering,
if laid on the altar with true Christian faith.
As we are here met from almost all the
congregations in the Huntingdon Presbytery,
to talk over our struggles and victories, we
hope to gain new views and inspirations, and
he led to place a higher estimate upon this
combined, organized effort.
We may here encourage and counsel, and
say as the Lord said to Joshua and the Israel
itish people, thrice repeated, "Only be strong,
and of good courage, and thou shalt prosper."
Would that all before us, especially the
young. would respond as the children of Is
rael, "All that thou commandest, will we do,
and wheresoever thou sendest us, we will go."
Had we more Calebs and Joshuas, full of like
courage and faith to go in and possess the
land, we should have more victories to re
count, and fewer defeats to deplore.
There is much we would like to say of the
progress of Christianity, of the earnest toilers,
and the work of missions across the seas, and
of the transforming power of the gospel in the
hitherto dark corners of tne earth, all the re
sult of the seed-sowing of these grand truths;
which have already taken deep root and are
now putting forth "leaves for the healing of
the nations." Time would fail us to tell what
God bath so marvelously wrought at the
hands of these self-denying ones, who bare
gone forth to obey the last command of our
Savior, not counting their lives dear, so that
they might win souls.
It is not enough that we offer our gold and
silver, and make many prayers, for unless some
go farther, and are•willing to lay down lire, if
need be, the heathen will not be reached and
enlightened. So thought Judson, Maityn,
Rhea, Gooddell, and a Lost of others, who did
indeed lay down their lives Every Christian
should be a martyr in principle. The Apostle
John tells us, "Hereby perceive we the love of
God, because He laid down HiS life for us, and
we ought to lay down our lives for the breth
ren."
What an exalted privilege I To be co-work
ers with God in the saving of lost souls. Who
shall put an estimate on the value of a soul ?
when no less than God's dear Son must lay
down His life, acrd now appear in dyed gar
ments as our Intercessor. Roll back the tide
of time for eighteen hundred years, and in
imazination tale in the scenes of Gethsemane
and Calvary, and then are we ready to magni
fy the cross, towering o'er all the wrecks of
time, and in the spirit and language of our
sweet singer, Frances Ridley Havergal, hear
the plaintive wail of Jesus—
"l gave, I gave my life for thee,
What hest thou given fur me ?"
From every quarter the cry comes up, Oh
that the hearts of the worsen of our land may
be touched to make self-denying efforts to fill
the Lord's treasury, that souls starving for
the bread of life may be fed."
If it be objected that too much attention is
directed to the distant fields, overlooking the
Home work, we may reply, those who have
caught a glimpse of the far off needs, have
also taken in a view of the middle and nearer
grounds, and are reaching out help to New
Mexico, Utah and Alaska, where is barbarism
of the deepest dye.
And now, that there is a sound of the
Lord's footsteps among the nations, we may
come with zeal and confidence, laying hold of
the promises by faith, as did those consecra
ted ones in Mexico, E. few weeks ago, who, when
assembled to pray for a Pentecostal outpour
ing of the Spirit, felt the barriers of unbelief
give way and the rising cloud of blessing en
compass them, till they with exultant joy ex
claimed, "The Lord has come to our aid I
Mexico for the Lord !"
And now, dear sisters, we bid you welcome
to our altar of prayer, where our united voices
may go up as incense, with earnest pleadings
for a new baptism, .1 holy consecration, until
we are able to echo back in full chorus, The
Lord is here !
All the world for Jesus,
Let thy heralds chant the strain :
Welcome news they bring us,
"Z en's King will quickly reign."
The President of the Presbyterial Society,
Mrs. N. D. Orbison, of Bellefonte, widow of
Rev. James H. Orbison, of this place, who had
been for twenty years a successful Missionary
in India, responded briefly in appropriate and
graceful language. After a half hour spent in
prayer, imploring the presence and guidance
of the Spirit, the meeting was opened for bu
siness. Iu the course of the afternoon, Mrs.
S. Brown, formerly of our town, widow of
Rev. John Brown, who spent thirteen years of
faithful service in Missionary work in India, in
connection with the Methodist Church, touched
the hearts of all by her simple recital of the
wants and degredatioa of heathen women,
contrasting their condition with that of the
daughters of this favored land, begging us not
to withhold the blessings of the Gospel from
them. Mrs. N. D. Orbison added her testimo
ny, as an eye-witness, to Mrs. Brown's, as they
could "not but speak the things" they had
"seen and heard."
A public meeting was held in the evening,
and a sermon preached by the pastor of the
church, Rev. A. N. Hollifield, from the text,
"For the Son of Man came to seek cud to save
that _which was lost." After the sermon,
which set forth very ably and clearly the duty
of all to iriitate the Master in going forth to
seen and save the perishing, the Rev. J. W.
White, of Milroy, followed in a few earnest
words of encouragement. •
The ladies remained after the public servi
ces to be introduced to Mrs. Charles P. Tur
ner, of Philadelphia, who, with Miss H. M.
Johnson, of Germantown, represented the Pa
rent Society. These ladies are not public
speakers, and would no doubt shrink from be
ing thus publicly noticed, bat we cannot for
bear a passing tribute to their earnest, helpful
words, through all our meetings, which not
only stimulated those already aroused, but
many, who bad before felt no interest in this
"woman's work for woman," attended all our
sessions, fearing to lose anything that fell from
their lips, regretting that our meeting closed
all too soon.
The reports read on Thursday morning by
the delegates from the different societies
showed an increased since the last Annual
Meeting in interest, members and contribu
tions, and gave evidence that the women of
this Presbytery are awaking to the magnitude
of the work and the interests committed to
their hands. Only eighteen societies reported
their receipts, hut these showed that 618 mem
bers had contributed $1,690 51 during the
past year.
la the afternoon, a basket collection of $24
was lifted, to Assist in the liquidation of the
debt of the Board.
The Children's Meeting Thursday evening,
ccoulucted I.y the pastor, proved to be one of
the most interesting parts of the Conference.
A Mission ljand, of little girls and boys—" The
Li;ie,t of the Valley"—erg-anlzed only a month
agt - )..tcoopierl the pulpit aiitl plat:utin,
their singing, responsive ex:.•rcise3 in the gas
ography, etc., of heathen lauds, and recita
tions, would have called forth the applause of
a delighted audience, had it not been in the
(louse of God.
After the Children's Meeting in the audi
ence room, the ladies gathered in the Chapel
for a meeting of conference and prayer before
closing our sessions. An invitation to hold
next meeting in Altoona 2l Church was ac
cepted.
Some of our visitors being still with us on
Friday morning, a parlor meeting was held
which was felt to be among the most enjoya
ble, and the spirit manifested there showed
that our meeting together had not been for
naught, and that the blessing of a prayer.an
swering God would surely rest upon the
churches of the Presbytery engaged iu this
work, and through them, the time hastened
"when the Lord shall come to His promised
inheritance."
FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Of the Huntingdon Auxiliary to the W. F. M.
Presbyterial Society of the Presbytery of
Huntingdon, Pa., holding its Fourth Annual
Meeting at Huntingdon, N., March sth and
Gth, 1879:
The Huntingdon Auxiliary in presenting its
Fourth Annual Report to the Presbyterial t,cie
ty, desires first of all, to express its gratitude to
Almighty God for His loving kindness and tender
mercies to us, as individuals and as a S'.ciety
during the past year, and the great encourage
ment we cannot but feel fur the year upon which
we have entered.
OrganizA by Miss Loring, D,cemher 9th, 1874,
with forty three members, whose weak faith could
see but a little way ahead, we trust, that led by
His 13 n 1, we have steadily advanced, not. making.
it is true, he progress we should have made, but
yet conscious of gaining, ground. Not alone in
numbers, although at the end of our first year we
counted sixty, and at our Fourth Annual Meeting,
held De , .einher 11th, 1879, we were sixty-eight,
(six of wh: - ,m were children,) and to-day our roll
shows seventy-eight ; but that fur which we feel
must like offering up songs of thanksgiving and
praise, is the spirituAl strength thit work for our
"Lord and His Christ" has brought to its mem
bers.
Truly, we never give Him anything, but He
gives us back full measure, pressed down and
running over.
' ' '
Three of our nuinhe-, during the past year.
have rested "from their labors, and their works do
follow them."
Our officers for 1879, are, President, Mrs. David
Bi.ir; Vice Presidents, Mrs. Win. Dorris and Mrs.
J R. simpson ; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. J
C. Blair; Recording Seeretary, Mrs. Wm. B.
Woods; Treasurer, Miss Cornelia Wiestling; Li
brarian, Mrs. Kate Cunningham ; Agent fur Maly
azines ant Chairworn , in of Executive Committee,
Mrs: R. R. Bryan.
Twenty-four copies of W. W. are taken and
twenty-four copies of C. NV., and we would bear
testimony to their help and value, and would be
glad if wo could report them as to be found in
every household of our congregation.
"The Lilies of the Valley," a bald organized
February Ist, 1879, of girls and boys, aged from
5 to 14 years, and under the care of Mrs. Win. H.
Woods. meet weeGy at her boum for instruction
in Missions and work. These children are known
to he in good hands, and we are sure the fragrance
of these "Lilies" will help to 'make the wilderness
snd solitary place glad for them, and the desert
rejoice cud blossom as the rose."
Fur our year closing December, 1873, our con
tribution+ amounted to $192 50, which includes
pledges, special contributions, fund and
collect Lin at annual meeting. One hundred and
seventy-two dollars of tb is was sent to Presbyter;al

Our o)ened by devotional exercises,
are held "in the Upper Room," the first Wednes
needay afternoon of each month, and have an av
erage attendance of twelve.
IVe have a small, but growing Library; three
late books being donated during the last month
It is hoped the circulation of this Missionary Lit
erature will keep alive our zeal by adding to it
knowledge, for "the more intelligently we pray
and labor, the greater will be our succe.s."
We differ from most, perhaps all Auxiliaries, in
not requiring a fixed amount for membership, as
our me is, that any burn, however small, makes the
donor a member for the year. We believe it to be
the Gospel rule, leaving it to the conscience to give
as God has given us. This is handed, in envel
opes, to our Treasurer, at our meetings, no one else
knowing the amount; thus, no one is governed by
the gifts of another. If the offering is consecrated
by faith and prayer, God will accept and bless.
A plan we adopted some time ago, of passing a
Mite BJX, fur incidental expenses, was allowed to
fall into disuse, but this year we have revived it,
as we find such a sum a necessity, the annual col
lection not being sufficient for society expenses.
Another late change is to make our year close
with December, in order that accounts may be
closed with Presbyterial Treasurer before the Pres
byterial annual meeting, and for this reason, in our
view, think it would be well if all the Auxiliaries
of our Presbytery would do the same.
We have a few faithful members among our
young ladies, but regret to say the majority of our
young people do not exhibit much interest in Mis
sions, for it is to them we must look to fill up the
broken ranks, as those now in the front are laid
aside.
In o'osing, we must bear our tribute to our Pas
tor's faithtulnees and help in our work, for by con

"UNDER THE WHEELS."—CHARLES
KERSHAW, Ja., I.ile VICTIM.—This community
was shocked, on Sunday morning, upon hear
ing that Charlie Kershaw had been killed by
the cars on Saturday night, and at first people
could hardly realize the truth of the terrible
intelligence, but when the Pacific Express of
that morning steamed into the depot, with his
lifeless remains on board, there was no further
room to doubt the sad news. A dispatch
from Mt. Union, about 8 o'clock on Saturday
evening, to the father of the young man,
announced that be had been seriously injured.
and in a little while another dispatch arrived
saying that he was in a dying conditioa. Mr.
Kershaw took the Philadelphia Express and
arrived at Mt. Union about half past eleven
o'clock. He remained at the bed-side of his
unfortunate son until four o'clock on Sunday
morning, when death relieved him of his suf
fering. The young man we understand, was
frequently in the habit of stealing his way to
Mt. Union, and generally rode on the Atlantic
Express, placing himself between the express
and baggage cars, where he would be likely
to escape the notice of the train hands. When
the train pulled out of the depot on Saturday
night he boarded it, apd as be did so he was
observed by a railroad detective named
Dewees, who also got aboard, thinking to
arrest the young man when the train reached
Mt. Union, but young Kershaw, knowing that
he was "spotted," to avoid arrest concluded
to leave the train before it arrived ot Mt.
Uuion. When the train was a short distance
above the depot he jumped oft, and in doing
so struck against a freight car that was stand
ing upon a siding and which, in his hurry
and the darkness, was unobserved by him.
As he struck the car he was thrown back
under the wheels, which passed over his left
leg, mangling and crushing it in a frightful
manner. Besides the injury to his leg he was
cut about the bead and face. The officer
witnessed the accident, and informed the
trainmen, who conveyed Charlie to the station
house. Dr. A. R. McCarthy was summoned,
who did all in his power to relieve the suffer
ing of the young man, but his injuries were
such that no human aid could save him, and
he died as stated above, at four o'clock on
Sunday morning.
Charlie Kershaw was about nineteen years
of age, and was a model young man, industri
ous, temperate, and moral, and his early and
shocking death is a terrible blow to his sorrow
stricken parents. In the hour of their sad
bereavement tly?y have the heartfelt sympa
thies of the entire community. His remains
were interred on Monday afternoon, and were
followed to their quiet resting place on
o.nieti , ry Hill by his sorrowing parents, the
toe Pbcenix Fire t.orripaay, of
wliieb orc , ao:zafioii lie w.is a inember, aiid a
large concourse of neighl,iirs and friends.
Let the sad death of Charlie Kershaw be a
warning to the boys and young men of our
town who are in the habit of "dead heading"
it on the cars.
SQUIB ' S FROM JACKSON TOWNSHIP -
llor•; soon fell on the 17th inst.., which was
highly appreciated by a number of farmers ,
who went to work to sow clover seed.
Public sales are a success this Spring, as
far as we can learn. Every thing that is of
fered fur sale brings full value ; times must be
looking ap.
The public schools are about to close, and
the juveniles will think they are freed from
another fire months' imprisonment. Now for
the subscription schools.
The farmers have selected their hands for
the ensuing summer. Hand,; are plenty, and
wages extremely low, hut as almost all other
things are comparatively low, we think wages
should be is oniwu.
The roads are in a lamentable condition at
present, especially for those who have to more.
If they keep in their present condition until
that time it willmake"flitting" very unpleasant
for many of our citizens.
Some of our young folks seemed to enjoy
the last squirt of snow more than they did all
the snow and sleighing we bad during the en
tire winter ; rumor has it that it was the com
pany they appreciated mcfre than the snow or
sleigh ride.
The lumber business must be looking up.
Ir this township there are twelve saw mills in
running order, most all of them having quite
a stock of saw logs on hand ready for the flush
water in the Spring. Some of the mills have
upwards of 350 logs, consisting principally of
white pine, hemlock and oak.
Mr. Lewis Gregory has auctioned off his en
tire stock in his store at the "Little Furnace,''
and intends removing to Huntingdon to engage
in the mercantile business on a larger scale.
We are sorry to lose Mr. G., as lie is a good
citizen and energetic man. We wish him
success in gaining a good share of the patron
age of the town and county in general.
Henry k Co. are introlucing a new plow
into our section called the "Clover Chill,"
maufactured at South Bend, Ind. They are
highly recommended for light draft, easy
handling, doing good work, and durability,
They are all chilled castings, and nicely
polished. There are in the community from
25 to 30 of these plows, and they appear to
render entire satisfaction. It is hoped by
many of the farmers that the furnishing agents
will bring more of them into the county, as
it is the time in the year to think about trying
them.
Some of our farmers arc goin:; - to engage in
the lime burning business during the coming
summer, and try the experiment of iiming
their laud. I think they will find the experi
ment to be one of most substantial benefit to
the land in Stone Valley. Many of our farmers
would engage in burning was it not that the
faciiities forgetting coal are somewhat limited.
We have to haul it on wheels from 16 to 24
miles, which is quite an item, and not many
are willing to try it. If some one would de
vise a plan for burning it with wood, or some
railroad company would build a railroad from
Huntingdon to McAlevy's Fort then coal would
be bat a small matter, and all would burn
lime. We do hope that some company will,
before many years roll around, complete a
railroad to McAlevy's Fort. We will live in
hopes if we should die in despair. C.

A GOOD HOUSEWIFE.—The good
housewife, when she is giving her house its
spring rennovating, should bear in mind that
the dear inmates of her house are more
precious than many houses, and that their
systems need cleansing by purifying the blood,
regulating the stomach and bowels to prevent
and cure the diseases arising from spring
malaria and miasma, and she must know that
there is nothing that will do it so perfectly
and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
