The Huntingdon Journal. FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1879. READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE W. L. FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, I; the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisements for the JOURNAL. He has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen Are you going to camp ? Miss Katy Did is in town. Only $1.20 to Bedford and return. We are having a surfeit of picnics and fes tivals. Green corn is selling in this market at ten cents per dozen ears. Jim Kelly captured a flying squirrel, in his office, the other evening. Another camp meeting will he held near this place some time in September. A number of brick pavements have just been put down in West Huntingdon. Altoona sportsmen are talking of raising a purse for a tall trotting meeting. The walls of the new school building have received their first coat of mud. Bates, the giant, during his stay in town, bought his segars at the JOURNAL Store. A young lad named Myers was put in prison, one day last week, for immersing young Fen timan in the canal. Brother Bair, of the Mt. Union Timea, tarried briefly with us on Saturday morning. Come again and stay longer. The travel on the Broad Top railroad still continues brisk. The road was never in a better condition than at present. When you see a young lady wearing le er rings over her kid gloves, you can conclude that she is traveling on her brass. Open air religious services were inaugurated in Lewistown, on Sandal last, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of that town. The late high water swept the moss from the streams, which had accumulated in such quantities as to almost close the channels. J. S. Blair, esq., of the Department of Jus tice, Washington, D. C., spent Sunday at his home, in this place. Van looks as if Washing ton life agreed with him. The colored people of Lewistown opened a camp meeting, near that town, on Sunday last. Quite a number of the brethren of this place have been in attendance. Miss Belle P. Glazier, who occupies the re sponsible position of Principal of the public schools of Darby, Delaware county, is spend ing vacation at home in this place. No charge for carrying baggage over the P. R. R. to the Newton Hamilton camp, provided it is shipped on the first and last day of the camp. Those interested will remember this. A young lad named Fisher, residing with his parents ou the line of the Broad T,,p rail road, was bitten on the back of the hand by a copperhead, Sunday a week ago, while play ing in the barn. We are sorry to learn that our old friend, Frysinger, of the Lewistown Gasette, still suffers from an affection of the eyes, which renders it necessary for him to use them as little as possible. John 11. Thomas will sell, at his residence, on Washington street, on Friday Aug. 15th, a full assortment of parlor and kitchen furni ture, organs, sewing machines, horse, carriage, wagon, harness, etc. Jesse t. Akers is about to start a segar manufactory at Curwensville, Clearfield coun ty. His factory in this place is unable to fill the orders as rapidly as desired, hence the establishment of one at Curwensville. Our young friend, George W. Black, has opened a shop on the second floor of Beck & Fleming's confectionary, and is now ready to repair watches, clocks, jewelry, spectacles, etc., at prices to suit the times. The teachers and scholars of the Lutheran Sabbath school, to the number of over two hundred, excurted over the H. & B. T. R. R. toPleasant Grove, on Saturday last, where they spent a very pleasant day. Prof. A. L. Guss, of our town, has been se lected to deliver an address at the coming Printers' Picnic, and he has concluded to tell us what he knows of "The History of the Newspapers in the Juniata Valley." The wife of Mr. George Newton, of Altoona, while pouring coal oil on a smouldering fire in her cooking stove, on Saturday last, was burned to death. Her body was frightfully burned, even her teeth being charred. Mr. G. M. Brumbaugh, son of Dr. Brum baugh, of Huntingdon, is in town for the pur pose of inspecting our industrial establish ments. He is the first graduate of the Breth ren's Normal School in Huntingdon.—Johns town Tribune. We bad the pleasure of intertwining digits with our old-time friend, W. A. Saxton, esq., of Washington, D. C., at the Broad Top de pot, on Saturday evening. lie was en route for Saxton, where he proposes spending a por tion of his vacation from clerical duties. Our friend, Col. Bob Allen is about to en larle his business, and for this purpose he is to-day, (Thursday), removing his shop to the large and airy rooms above Wolf's clothing store, on Penn street, where he will be pleas ed to have his patrons call. More anon. Mrs. Jennie Cree, wife of Mr. Al. Cree, died at their residence, in West Huntingdon, on Sunday morning, after a brief, but painful illness. The deceased leaves a husband and four little children to mourn her death. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the strick en household. Suggestion is a privilege all can make use of, and we would suggest to the myriads of sufferers from Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Indigestion, etc., to use Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, whose curative power over these diseases as greatly appreciated by thousands. Price only 25 cents. Young Reese, of "peep show" fame, who is well known in this place, was arrested and put to jail, in Lewistown, a few days ago. The young man is as harmless as a new-horn babe, and why the police of that town should gob ble him up and imprison him is a mystery to all who know him. A valuable mare, a favorite driver with the patrons of L. W. Port's livery, dropped dead on the highway, on Friday last. Mr. Port at tributes her death to the intense heat. She was a free goer, and when driven carelessly was likely to travel at such a rate of speed as to injure herself. It is said that the Japanese think that heaven is enclosed in an immense blue fence. A few of our delinquent subscribers must have the same notion, and imagine that they can slip under the fence uochallenged, but they will find themselves mistaken, for the edict has gone forth that "no delinquent on the printer's books can ever enter heaven." An infant child of Mr. David Mingle, of this place, was injured under peculiar circum stances, on Monday last. The little one was asleep in its cradle, when a portion of the plastering on the ceiling of the kitchen gave way and fell upon it. Bad it not been for the sides of the cradle projecting above its body it must have been crushed to death. It es caped with a slight cut on the heed. Ezra Lamborn, of West Bradford township, claims he has the cheapest and most accurate weather indicator known. It consists of a piece of atlas:ins, which he carries in his pocket. When it becomes soft it is a sign of rain, and when hard clear weather will follow. Ile has tested it for a number of years, and is fully convinced that it is equal to any indi cator known.— West Cheater Republican. Our young friend, Jim Africa, while out on a fishing excursion to the Bear Meadows, last week, met s ith a serious accident, which will lay him up for some time. While chopping some wood the axe glanced and cut a gash in his right foot, extending from the large toe across the joint, severing the bone and an artery. Dr. Bigelow was called, who stopped the flow of blood and dressed the wound. He was brought home on Friday, and is getting along finely. Andrew Snowberger, of Freedom township, who is ever on the lookout for something new in the farming business, has introduced a new kind of wheat which bids fair to surpass any thing of the kind now in the county. In the fall of 1877 he sowed 2 ounces of this wheat from which he harvested 7} pounds, sowing this it produced a crop in proportion to th• first. This is known as the "Tags" wheat and will yield from 70 to 100 bushels per acre, in this soil.—Hollidaysburg Register. lion. D. Clarkson, of Cassville, who has been on a five or six weeks' jaunt through the West, arrived in our town, on his way home, on Tuesday last. He speaks in flattering terms of sonic portions of that country, but he is not sufficiently in love with it to make him prefer it to his Pennsylvania home. During his travels he met many friends and acquain tances from this county who years ago turned their faces towards the setting sun, most of whom he found comfortable and prosperous. Our military friends, den. Lewis, Col. Long and Maj. Johnston, went on another fishing excursion, on Wednesday evening, to the Raystown Branch, and returned on Thursday afternoon with forty-five good-sized bass, several of which they kindly left at our resi dence, and which we sampled at breakfast next morning. They were splendid, and as toothsome a bite as ever tickled the palate of "ye printer." For their kind remembrance we return our thanks and make our politeA salaam. Judging by the appearance of the adverti sing columns of the Hollidaysburg papers, we think that town presents a fine opening for a few enterprising and wide-awake merchants ; men who are not afraid to spend a few dollars in advertising their business and inviting cus tomers to buy their wares. The space which should be occupied by the merchants of that town is taken up by the more shrewd dealers of Altoona, in which they tell of the bargains they are prepared to give those who patronize them, and we have no doubt it pays them handsomely. The Bloomfield Press: "Elmer Rupn, son George Rupp, and David Sharon, son of George Sharon, all of Liverpool, left the county a few weeks ago for a tour through the States, for the purpose of seeing the world, the young man Rupp having provided himself before starting with $lOO of his father's money, with Which he fondly hoped to make a successful journey. It now transpires that ltupp is non eat inventus, and the other boy, Sharon, has just been heard from. Ile writes from a prison in Wisconsin, where he has been placed for selling tobacco without a license." A son of S. G. Whittaker, esq., of this place, who accompanied his father on a fishing ex cursion to the Raystown Branch, on Friday last, caught a twenty-two inch pike under peculiar circumstances. He was engaged in catching minnows for bait, and for this pur pose bld waded a short distance oat into the stream. Whilst waiting for a bite he noticed a large fish swimming towards him, and stand ing perfectly still the fish swam close up to his feet. The lad dropped his rod, and quick as he could, made a grab for the fish, which he succeeded in grasping about the centre, and tightening his grip lie walked ashore with the largest pike that has been caught in this locality for many a day. TRAVILING IN STATE.—C. K. Vander bilt, son of W. H. Vanderbilt, the American railroad king, with a party of railroad mag nates, who have been on an extended tour of observation through the Northwest and Cana da., passed through this place on Thursday of last week. They travel in a palace on wheels, for a description of which we are indebted to the Altoona Tribune : Next to George :M. Pullman's special car Vanderbilt's is the finest in the country. lu some of its appointments it is superior to Pullman's. The obliging porter showed the Tribune reporter into every nook and corner of the sumptuous hotel on Wheels, even to the place where the champagne and other inspi ring things reposed on ice. The upholstering is in fine taste as is every thing in the car. There does not seem to be anything wanting to render the traveler comfortable and happy. The curtains to the large windows have the monogram "W. H. V." painted on them, while the mirrors are so deceptive, that with a free acquaintance with the glassware on ice, one might mistake them for an open door. Every aperture is guarded against dust and smoke, and even the bottom is protected from the same annoyance on all railroads, except the Pennsylvania. The freedom from dust was one of the things that the Vanderbilt visitors remarked soon after leaving Pittsburgh. On one side of the car is a view of Niagara Falls, and a section of the New York Central road on Fourth avenue, between Sixty-third and Seventieth streets. On the other side views of their railroad bridge crossing the Harlem river, and the Grand Central depot, compris ing that of the New York Central and Hudson river, the New York and Harlem, and the New York and New Haven roads. Between these views on either side is the name of "Vander bilt," surrounded by an excess of ornamental pa!nting. The get up of the magnificent coach comports well with the purse of its owner, William H. Vanderbilt. WORK ON THE PENITENTIARY.—Mr. Jno. D. Kelley, the contractor for the grading and sewering of the penitentiary grounds, and the building of the foundation walls around the same, has arrived in town and proposes to push the work vigorously. A large force of professional quarrymen have taken charge of the quarry, where the terrible accident hap pened on the 22d ult., and already have made a great change in the appearance of things in that locality. A great number of the trees which lined the hillside and stood in the ra vine have been cut away, and a good wagon road made leading to the quarry, where der. ricks have been erected,—which will be ope rated with either horse or steam power—for the purpose of loading the stone upon wagons. Those in charge of the work give evidence that they thoroughly understand their busi ness, and there is no fear of another accident from the same causes which occasioned the one noticed in the JOURNAL two weeks ago. A 'sufficient force will be worked in the quarry to furnish one hundred perch of stone per day. The work of excavating fur the foundation walls was commenced one day last week, and we understand that as large a force of men as can be handled to advantage will be put to work. It is the purpose of Alr. Kelly to com plete his contract before cold weather sets in. Any person willing to work can find employ ment at $1 per day. HO ! FOR BEDFORD ! Excursion Over the H. & B. T. R. R. On Saturday next, August 9th, an Excur sion train will be run over the Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad, between Huntingdon and Bedford, and all intermediate statior._. The fare has been made so low that it is within the reach of all. Excursionists will be com pelled to go on Saturday, but they can return at will, on any passenger train, between the 9th and 12th, inclusive. The following table gives the time at each station and the price of tickets : Stations. Leaving time. Rate. Huntingdon 9:05 A.

He calls it a "relay instrument," and by its use messages can be taken off the wires at any way station without interfering with the transmission of the same messages over the main line. For example: Suppose we desire to send a message from Huntingdon to Philadelphia, and also to record the same message at several towns between these points, all that would be necessary to accom plish this would be to use the "relay instru ment" at any town or towns where the mes• sage was desired ; the message would be re corded at the intermediate stations and at the same time be conveyed on to Philadelphia, and this without the aid of an operator at any of the way stations. This is certainly an im provement in telegraphing, and as it is all done by the use of permanent magnets, dis pensing with the expensive battery heretofore used, it is bound to work a revolution in the old system. Mr. Gary is going to Washington for the purpose of securing letters patent upon this invention. IT costs about a hundred dollars to go to th• Mountains or to the Seashore, but if you want to tone up the whole system, you can do it just as surely by taking one or two packages of Kidney-Wort, and save .your money. It is a sure cure for Kidney com plaints, Piles, Constipation and all bilious disease. THE place to buy goods is at the CEJEAP STORE. Look at our prices: Sugars at 7,8, 9 and 10 cents. Coffees from 12 to 20 cents. Syrups 35 cents per gallon. Teas as low as 35 cents per pound, at J. R. CARMON'S. 25-3 Whole Leather Brogans for men, at 90 cents, at HENRY & CO'S. 1 2t. • A TRAGEDY IN PITTSBURGIL—A couple of former residents of Altoona, named John B. Weiss and Mrs. Julia Irwin, figured in what almost proved to be a double tragedy, in Vittsburgh, on Thursday night of last week. From the papers of that city we gather the following fact; relating to the tragedy : About I I o'eltielt on Thursday night two officers of the Mayor's police were standing at the corner of Twentieth and Liberty streets when they heard cries of "Murder." They ran is the direction from which the noise seemed to come, and saw woman standing at the second-story window of the house mentioned with her face covered with blood and eall,ng for help. They rushed up to the front room of the second floor, which they found in great disorder, the hedelothing covered with blood and lying on the floor and the woman standing there, a fearful looking spectacle, with her face all cat and literally hidden by the blood. A bloody razor was also lying on the floor. Other persons soon appeared on the scene, who. reported that they had heard the servants of the woman, and had seen a loan jump from a roar window of the attic to the roof of a poreh, sonic five feet below, climbing thence to the roof of another small building adjoining. and jump into an aijoining yard, whore he climbed over a knee and ran into the water closet of a yard opening out into Mulberry alley. Officer Mulvahill imme diately ran back through a yard; a short distance above the house, and reached the water closet, where he found a man inside. When he attempt ed to force the door open, the officer says, the man fired from the inside, and other persons who were following the officer in the yard beard a shot fired about this time. Officer McKenna arrived in the yard a short time after Officer Mulvahill, and he seems to have tired several shots into the water closet. Officer Mulvahill picked up a small bench which was lying in the yard and held it in front of him while he rushed up against the door. Ills idea was to protect himself, for he had no thought at first when he tried to push the door open that the man inside had any weapon with him. The noise inside suddenly ceased and without any further resistance the door was pushed open and a man was found lying on the floor dead. A pistol ball had entered his mouth and killed him almost instantly. The body was taken to the Twentieth ward station house and identified as John B. Weiss, a man who had come from Altoona some four weeks ago and had been living alone in the house with Mrs. Julia Irwin, the woman who had b en so shockingly mutilated with a raz tr a short time before. When Dr. Asdale arrived the woman was stand in in the room and still crying out that she was murdered. She was entirely' consoious, the doctor says, and perfectly able to talk. The wound was not deep enough to involve the windpipe, nor did It divide any large vessel. The woman was very heavy, weighing over two hundred pounds, and the great depth of adipose tissue saved her life. There was a wound some two inches deep across her throat. A razor had been passed to the depth of two inches in her neck, but the muscles were divided to a very . slight extent, interfering very little with her swallowing. There was quite a large razor gash across her face, commencing at a point about one inch from the angle of her mouth, on the right cheek, passing through the mouth, which had evidently been open, and extending entirely through the loft cheek and along the whole length of it. The wound across the neck commenced at a point bcaow the angle of the jaw, upon the right side, and passed to a point imme diately below the left cur. The face wound was where the hemorrhage carne from. The arteries encircling the mouth and the facia, arteries on the . left side were divided. There was a gash across the right shotilder about four inches in length, and two fingers of her left hand were slightly cut. There were also a contusion on the right leg below the knee, which the woman said bad been made by the man kicking her. The woman, being able to talk, as stated above, stated to the doctor that being strong herself, after she left the bed she was able to hold her assailant off, and, in his struggles with her, he dropped the razor. He then fought her to get her down, and seizing her by the hair tried to pull her down on the floor, but he did not succeed. She believed she was alone in the room when she retired, and she was awakened by a stinging pain and blood falling upon her breast. The room was dark, and she was sleeping on the left side of the bed. She threw up her left hand' and encountered the hand of some person present, and she believed it was then that her fingers were cut. She said it was Weiss who had assailed her, and she believed he had secreted himself in the house during the evening. He had a motive to attack her—the motive of disappointment and revenge. She had refused to abandon her husband and associate with him.— Her husband had been doing well until recently, when he became dissipated and she left him. He had lost his situation through dissipation. having been an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Altoona, which had discharged him. She had refused to live with him any longer, but recently she had promised that they should live together again provided he would reform. She had amine here a month ago, and he after his discharge had obtained employment at Altoona as a lightning rod agent. It was arranged that he was to give up that employment and she had just a few days ago secured employment for him in a mill at McKeesport, and expected his arrival here at any time. When Weiss made his proposi tion to her, be having been boarding with her on Penn street, she turned him out, and his motive of revenge, she said, must be easily understood. She had come here about the Ist of July, from Altoona, and her husband had come with her. They both stopped at the St. Clair for a day or two, when her husband returned to Altoona. Weiss also came here from Altoona about the same time, seeking employment. Ile wanted to board with Mrs Irwin, and she consented. It was he who made the arrangement for renting the house on Penn avenue, but it was Mrs. Irwin who did the renting and paid the rent. Her injuries are not necessarily fatal, and it is the opinion of the doctor that she will recover. WAR, PESTILENCE, FAMINE.—Prof. Grimmer, whoever he is, has recently issued a pamphlet, in which h• prophesies terrible happenings to occur in the near suture. H• says : "From 1880 to 18E7 will be one of universal carnival of death. Asia will be depopulated, Europe nearly so, America will lose fifteen million people. Besides plagues, we are to have storms and tidal waves, mountains are to toss their heads through the choicest val leys, navigators will be lost by thousands owing to the 'capricious defiexures of the magnetic needle,' and islands will appear and disappear in mid-ocean. All the beasts, birds and fishes will be diseased; famine and civil strife will destroy most of the human beings left alive by plague ; and finally two years of fire—from 1885 to 1887—will rage with fury in every part of the globe. In 1887, the 'star of Bethlehem' will reappear in "Cassiopia's Chair,' the immediate result being universal war and portentous floods and shipwrecks. North America is again to be involved in civil war, unless a Napoleon rises to quell it; during these terrible days the Pacific States will be a veritable Paradise of Peace com pared to the hellish strife that will be waging throughout the world. The few people that may manage to survive till 1887 will have reason to be thankful." We don't see bow the Professor could well paint a darker picture, unless he had pre dicted the success of the "solid South" in the National contest in 1880. We will try and endure all else, but from such an of w• trust that we may be delivered. MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LEMON. —On several occasions we have published ar tides speaking of the medical properties of the lemon, and while we do not believe it is a panacea for all the diseases which it is claim ed it will cure, we do believe that its nse will result beneficially to persons of a bilious temperament. An eminent physician has this to say concerning it : _ "Lemon juice is the beat antiscorbutic rem edy known. It not only cures the disease, but prevents it. sailors make a daily use of it for this purpose. I advise every one to rub their gums with lemon juice, to keep them in health. The hands and nails are also kept clean, white, soft and supple by the daily use of lemon instead of soap. It also prevents chilblains. Lemon is used in intermittent fevers mixed with strong, hot, black coffee, without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the part affected with a cut lemou. It is valuable also to cure warts and destroy dandruff on the head by rubbing the roots of the hair with it. In fact its uses are manifold, and the more we employ it externally the bet ter we shall find ourselves. Natural remedies are the best, and nature is our best doctor, if we would only listen to it. Decidedly rub your hands, head and gums with lemon, and drink lemonade in preference to all other liquids." A GOOD INDORSEMENT.—It would no doubt be highly amusing, and at the same time a.stJnishing, to see a complete list of all the expressive and "powerful" names of the mul titude of short lived medical preparations placed upon the market during the past few years as "most wonderful discoveries" and "infallible cures," (In hoc signo vinceso by un scrupulous speculators and adventurers, who, recognizing the value of advertising seek by. these means to obtain public favor and popu larity for their doubtful and so often entirely worthless and even dangerous preparations. And it is a genuine pleasure for us to com mend Da. Butt's COUGH SYRUP as one of the few really deserving medicines offered to the public. Its adoption by many of our intelli gent physicians is due only to its real worth and merit and by thousands of families it is regarded as "the standard household rein edy."— Wash. D. C. Critic. How TO GET WELL.—Thousands of persons are constantly troubled with a combi nation of diseases. Diseased Kidneys and costive bowels are their tormentors. They should know that Kidney-Wort acts on these organs at the frame time, causing them to throw off the poisons that hare clogged them, and so renewing the whole man. LITERARY NOTES - Littdrs Living Age.—The numbers of The Lining Age for the weeks ending July 12 and 19 respectfully, contain the (A low ari icles : Fr..tich Blackwood ; Thu Revival of the Warlike Power of China, Fraser; Origin and the Beginning of Christian Philosophy, Part 11, and The Origin of the Week, Coalemporlry; The Critic on the Hearth, IVineteenth Century; Village Life in the Apen nines, eornhill ; Waterloo Waifs, Temple Bar; Suspended Anhuatioa, Nature ; George Eliot's Ideal Ethics, and Conservative Democracy in Switzerland, Spectator ; Mrs. Mont LE Je, awl a London Caravanserai, Saturday Review A Japanese View of Cu-operation and Confidence, Choya Wiintpin ; with the continuation of Jean liigelow's "Sarah de Derenger" and Miss Keary's "Doubting Heart," the conelii.don of "The Professor's Niece" and the usual amount of Poetry. For fifty-two such numbers of sixty•fonr large pages each (or more than :;',VoO pages a year), the subscription price $1) is low ; while for $10.50 the publishers offer to send any ens of the American $4 monthlies or weeklies with 71, Living _43, lora bell, postpaid, Lift.ll & Co., publishers Magq:ine for August wlll pleasantly surprise even those readers who from long experience have come to expect in each successive Number a uew revelation of the possibilities of wood-engraving. Never has even ffttrp , Is contained ilea mingle article so notify and at the same time so varied anti excellent a series of land scape engravings as those which illustrate Mr. Benjamin's paper on Lake George. Theta• engravings are from Mr. J. D. Smilhe's drawing.. twenty-three in number, cover— ing picturesque feature ut the lake from Caldwell to its northern extremity. Of an entirely different character, but of equal excel lence, are the engravings illustrating Mr Gibson's paper, "Snug Hamlet and lLmetown." The drawings are by the author, who has taken for his theme an artist's vaca tion among the scenes Of his childhood. The old New England mestead, with its inevitable garret, the studies of insect life, of the beautiful landscape views along the Housatonic, and of Hometown characters, and finally the reminiscences of school life, afford unusual opportu nities for illustration; and the remit here shown is very beautiful, apart from the glamour always cast over reminiscences of this kind. The beautiful engraving of butterflies with which the paper opens has been executed by Edward King, and is only equalled by the engraving of the peacock's feather, by the saute artist, in the Har per's for August last year. Mr. Roger's illustrations of character for Mr. Rideing's paper, "'flu, Nautical School "St. Mary's,'" are very striking from their novelty and spirit. This paper is one of unusual interest. The "St. Mary's" is a sloop of war loaned by the Government to New York, "for the in struction of youths in navigation, seamanship, merino engiuery," etc. It is a part of the public-school system of New York, being designated *Public School No. tn." Among the illustrated papers in this Number is one entitled oChautanqua," giving an interesting review of the peculiar educational features which have been devel oped in connection with the Chautauqua Sunday-school Association. A fine portrait is given of Dr. Vincent, the founder of the institution. The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle has eight thousand student mem btrs. William E. Griffis contributes a curious and and exceed ingly interesting paper on "Japanese Rock-Crystal," with illustrations._ . . "Little Barbara,' a poem by Will Wallace Harney, is exquisitely illustrated by Miss Jessie Curtis; and Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford contributes a short story, "The First Mrs. Petersham," which is illustrated by Howard Pyle. In fiction this is a remarkable Number. William Black's yachting romance "White Wings," opens in the most promising manner, and with spirited illustrations. It. D. Blarkmore, the author of "Lorna Doone," begins a new novel, entitled. "Mary Anerley." "Young Mrs. Jardine," by Miss Mulock, is continued; and besides these three serial novels, and the story already mentioned by Mrs. Spofford. there is also a very striking short tale by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, entitled "Miss Mildred's Friend." . . . . . An exceedingly important contribution is the paper by Dr. Edward G. Loring, the celebrated oculist, entitled "Consequences of Defective 'Vision." This paper was read before the New York State Medical Society this year, and its suggestions will command universal attention. A paper contributed by Willard Brown, on "The Foreign Indebtedness of the United States," is of national interest, and is remarkable for its masterly handling of a complex subject. The Editorial Departmeals are full of interesting and timely matter. G. \V. Powell contributes a brief but pointed paper, entitled "American Forests." THE MIDSUMMER HOLIDAY SCRIDNER.-Since the publi cation of the first "Midsummer Number" in 1870, Scribner for August, prepared with special reference to summer reading, has become the Literary feature of the Summer. The sales of the magazine have increased to such an extent during.the past eight months, that the publishers are warranted in printing a first edition of 100,1100 copies of the issue for August, 1879. It is thought that this number compares favorably, if it does nut excel all pre vious Holiday issues, one of which was pronounced by the Bbston Transcript, ' the finest example of periodical literature ever put forth." Some of the specialities of the August number are: Whistler in Painting and Etching, with ten engravings of his pictures; a brilliant article, affording in its catiran opportunity for some of Mr. Cole's finest work; the opening chapters of a serial Story by Henry James,-Jr., in the international school which has proved so popular in "Daisy Miller." etc., to continue six months; a portrait of Whittier accompanied by an essay on his literary work by It. H. Stoddard, and illustrated with view. Of the poet's home ; a long poem by Dr. Holland, with two by Bayard Taylor, and shorter poems by Mary Mapes Dodge, Celia Thay.ter. and others. Other richly illustrated articles are, "A Peep into Al twerp and Holland," "Field and Forest insects," with wondertul pictures engraved by Henry Marsh, "The Cook of the Confederate Army," etc. • Short Stories and Sketches by Charles Dudley Warner ("Out of the Worlr —a Shaker story), Frank It. Stockton ("Our Archery glob"), Noah Brooks "(Lincoln's Imagina tion"), Mary Hallock Foote "The Castarone Ball"), and others. Price of this number (160 pages), 35 cents. For sa:e at the JOURNAL Store. St. Nicholas for Angina has seventy-two pages--eight more than usual—with contents adapting it fur children's summer reading. It opens with a long poem, by Celia Thaxter, based on au actual incident in which the present Emperor of Germany and two small peasant children bore equally honutable parts; the illustration, by Frederick Dietman, is a rine lar,m one, and is the frontispiece of the number. Next comes - A Mississippi Chowder," a brisk account of a fi s hing frolic, with two striking pictures. After that is "The Baby's doming," the history or au escaped baby's p ran ks in a meadow,—with five charming illustrations by Addie Ledyard; and then there is an illustrated descrip tion of the wonderful aquarium at Brighton, Ergland, with its fiunytreasures. Lawn Tenids, the new and fashionable ball and racquet game, is plainly and fully described, by type and diagram and pictures. "Hercules Jack," which follows, is a tunny story of a plump but unlucky boy who tried to imitate Hercules; the fun is enhanced by seven most comical pictures by Mr. Hopkins. "Nan, the Newsboy's" story is told ; and his portrait and those of his two chief lielp.re are given, together with pictures and anecdotes of stirring episodes in Nau'e extraordinary career of life-saving. A Fish Fairy-tale comes next, telling what its hero found, risked, braved and endured "Behind the Water-fall," the picture show ing the boy in the act of galloping on pony-back through the solid curtain of falling water. . . „ . . . _ Then we have a short illustrated account of the most interesting occurrences in the child-Iffe of Goethe, follow ed by nine pages of concentrated delights fur tbe Very Little Folk, for "Jack-in-the-Pulpit's" devoted congrega tion, for the admirers and emulators of the "Young Con tribut,,rs," fur the correspondents of the "Letter-Box," and for the solvers and pi•ofouuders of the "Riddle-Box." Sunday Afternoon (f 3.00 a year; Springfield, Mass.,) for August is a hot-weather number, the articles being mostly brief and the stories numerous. Their titles and a ithors are t'ltuth, Ellen W. Olney; Through a Glass Darkly, Lizzie W. Champney; The Brass Andirons, M. E. Bennett; The People's Prayer, David .Ker ; and two chapters of Calvin. Rev. 0. M. Boynton ;sketches a real character in the Gentleman Hostler, and Alfred Terry Bacon give* a pen portrait of Leadville. The Phenomena of Inspiration leads to the conclusion that the truly great men of all times areas really inspired as were the prophets of old. The Hebrew Faith in Im mortality is a reply to Our Debt to Socrates in the March number. The Problem of Intemperance claims that inebriates need physiological quite as much as moral aad social treatment, and that the too abundant meat diet of Americans promotes intemperance. Prof. Borden P. Bowne writes oa The "Aa It" of Atheism. There are also The Election ofeellege Studies, Some Opinions About Opinion, and contributions by Rose Terry Cookes Susan Coolidge, and Mre. Edward Ashley Walker. The poems are many and seasonable. Elaine and Dora Goodale and their mother, Mrs. D. IL It. Goodale, have each one. Another young poet, Kate St. Clair Greenleaf of Kentnekv, has a little poem of which the Poet Whittier expressed this opinion seems to sae to have much sweetness and rhythmical beauty." Other verses are by. Frank Foxcruft, C. F. Richardson, Lucy. Larcorn, S.W. Duffield, and Allot M. Eddy, rite Ed'tor's Table has these articles :—Rebels and Reprobates, The Colleges and Public Morals, Studying Scripture by Samples. The name of the magazine will be changed with an early issue. The August Wide Awake will prove a rich vacation treat to its hosts of readers, young and old. It opens with a cool-looking frontispiece of some barefoot boys angling over the mill dam, awl is followed by the poem which it Illustrates, "Willy's Mishap," by Elizabeth W. Dennison. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop tells a story of "One Cent," betraying in it a vein of her father's genius. This is followed by "The Flower School at Corlear's Hook," by Mrs. Dickenson, beautifully illustrated with nine engrav ings by Miss Lsthbury. E. L. Bynner, the author of Nisiport and Triton(, has a charming sketch, daintly illustrated, entitled "The Tramp's Dinner Party." Mrs. Parsons, else, has a good story, "Orly Fifteen." Chief of the attractions, however, is the rollicking six-paged Classic of Babyland, "The Three Pigs," by Clara Doty Bates, with its nineteen funny illustrations by "Boz." Almost as funny is the poem furnished by Mrs. Lizzie W. Champney entitled "Retaliation," and illustrated by tier husband, "Champ."

LOCAL CLIPPINOS.— The Mt. Union Times of Friday : A cat fish weighing 21 pounds was caught in the canal on Saturday last by George, a■ eight year old son of Dr. Ueo. W. Thompson. Andrew Banks and his brother, engaged in mowing a meadow near their place of resi dence, three miles from Mt. Union, went to supper leaving their scythes on the ground. Two or three little girls got to playing with the scythes, and one, the slaughter of Andrew Banks, aged fire years, was cut across the face and neck from below the middle of the nose to behind the left ear, severing the half of toe upper lip and cheek. Dr. IkFCarthy dressed the wound and the little sufferer is doing as well as it is possible to do with suck a hurt. While Dr. A. TZ. M'Cartby and his cousin, W. B. M'Cartby, home on vacation from Wash ington and Jefferson College, were driving in Hill Valley, near the Dunker church, ow Wednesday lest, a clip coming loose and . throwing down one side of the shaft caused the horse to run away. The swaying of the buggy while going at a fearful pace caused both to be thrown out, and both were con siderably bruised, the Doctor alighting upon his head, and a stone which he struck making a deep scalp wound. The horse with the shafts attached ran some distance before be ing stopped. EDITOR JODRNAL—Dear Sir :—We have read and heard much about a bill before our Leg islature extending the jurisdiction of Justices of the ['eace, and if any improvement could be made in this direction we are anxious to see it. The Act is now before us. We have carefully read it through a second time, and we are prepared to say without the fear of successful contradiction, that it is a failure from beginning to end ; that there is an entire want of point and clearness front the first sec tion to the last. It is said that this Act be eame a law without the signature of the Gov ernor. If this he so, it certainly is to his credit, as we shall hereafter try to show. In section first of this Act we object to the word "concurrent." How many Justices of the Peace will understand the meaning of this word, and perhaps many of them may not. have any dictionary to refer to for its mean ing. Why not have it read thus : "Shall have joint and equal authority to act with the courts,"etc. Section 2. "In all actions brought before any Justice of the Peace on contracts for the payment, either expressed or implied, if the plaintiff shall file, at any time before the issuing of the summons in any such case, an affidavit, stating the amount he verily be lieves to be due from the defendant, together with a copy of the book entries, or instrument of writing upon which the action is brought, or where the claims are not evidenced by writing, if the plaintiff shall file, as aforesaid, setting forth a full and detailed statement of the same ; it shall be the duty of the Justice to make a copy of such affidavit, duly certify the same, and deliver it to the constable to whom the summons is issued, which certified copy shall be served at the time and in the manner that services is made of the summons in the case, and the Justice shall render judgment for the plaintiff for the amount of his claim, unless the defendant, at or before the time of which the summons is made returnable, shall have filed with the Justice an affidavit of de fense, setting forth fully the nature and char acter of the same." We object to the portion of this section of the Act that we have quoted first, because it may lead the plaintiff in many cases to perjure himself, as any Justice of ex perience knows that the plaintiff's bill is often very much reduced, and some times even more than balanced, when the defendant produces his account. Again we object to this Action because it gives the Justica power to render judgment in favor of the plaintiff while it maces no clear provision as to what he shall do for the defendant. It is true that the Act allows the defendant to file with the Justice an objection or offset to the plaintiff's claim, but it does not state that the justice shall have the right to subpoena witnesses and try the case. We are sorry to say it, but it is only too true that many, very many ; Squires, (we will not say Justices), render their judgments in favor of the plaintiff without any special acts of the Legislature to encourage them. Section 3. "All Acts or parts of Acts incon sistent herewith be, and the same are, hereby repealed." Tbis last section, perhaps, will be the most favorable one for the lawyers, as we believe almost any suit, under this Act, taken from the Justice by certiorari, will be set aside by the higher courts on technical grounds. Taking the Act altogether, we are strongly reminded of the fable, "The mountains were in great labor and brought forth a mouse.' In conclusion, Mr. Editor, until we see less disposition on the part of many Squires to favor and make all they can out oftheir office?, we are rather opposed to the extension of the jurisdiction of Justices of the ['eace. i A JUSTICE OF TIIE PEACE COUNCIL PII.OC E EDI NG s.—The Town Council met on Friday evening.
