love it.
Every business man who has examined the
'Climax Binder'' says that it is just the
neatest thing ever offered the public. To be
bad only at the JocaxlL Job Rooms. Call

The Susquehanna river is to be stocked with
Holland carp, a fish said to be as prolific as
the black bass. We fear the Fish Commis
sioners are giving the "blue Juniata" the go
by. Come, gentlemen, give us a few new
kinds.
"It is the neatest, best, and most substan

Binder." To be had only at the JOURNAL Job
Rooms.
The festival held by our Baptist friends last
week was liberally patronized, and they find
their treasury in a more healthy condition.
They labored hard to accomplish that end
and we are pleased to know that. they were
successful.
An exchange thinks that "round-shouldered
women are more numerous than they were
years ago." "Yes," says another paper, "work
ing at the wash tub to support lazy husbands
and fastidious sons is fast making women
round-shouldered."
Those of our patrons who called with us
last week and paid their subscriptions for
"the handsomest and best paper in the county,"

good acquisition to any community.
Sheriff Irvin removed Conrad, the two Kee
baughs,and young Stevens, to the penitentiary

stead of taking their departure for a felon's
cell.
Mrs. Rhoda Fisher, wife of our old friend,
Mr. Isaac Fisher, died at her residence, in this
place, on Monday morning last, after a pro
tracted illness. For years past Mrs. Fisher
has been a sufferer from pulmonary disease,
but she bore her affliction with Christian fur
titude.
We complained a week ago that the LtdPHs
town Sentinel reached us on the half shell,
and now the editor informs us that it was in
consequence of the large number of new sub
scribers coming in after the outside had been
struck off, which is a sufficient excuse for his
apparent slight of us.
Our contemporary, the Hollidaysburg . Stand
ard, is a little previous in announcing the
completion of our new school building, but
we acknowledge the corn that "our people are
proud of it," and when completed , ve will
have as fine a school house as any country
town in the State.
It is the intention of the committee having
in charge the arrangements for tha printers'
picnic, which is to come off at Cresson, on
the 6th pros., to make it a printers' picnic not
only in name but in fact. This is nothing
more than right, and we hope they will be
successful in carrying out their intentions.
'We are sorry to learn that our clever friend)
Express Agent K. M. King, has been a sufferer
for two weeks past from neuralgia in the back,
which crippled him to such an extent that he
was compelled to use crutches to assist him
in his locomotion. Having been there ourself
we can sympathize with him in his affliction.
We are engaged in dropping "dead heads"
from our subscription list, and shall continue
to do so until our list is clear of such char
acters. We propose to get down to as near a
cash business as it is possible for us to do.
Examine the yellow tab upon your paper and
see if you have paid up, and if you have not
do so at once.
The item which appeared in last week's
JOURNAL, stating that our fellow townsman,
Geo. T. Warfel, esq., had started on a trip
through Colorado, was carelessly put into the
form by one of our employes who got it out
of a lot of dead matter which had been stand
ing on the galley for some time. We ate
sorry that it crept into our paper.
There will be a sordiers' reunion and a sham
battle at Cumberland, Md., on the 3d of Sep
tember. Excursion tickets will be sold on the
Bedford k Bridgeport railroad, and we have
no doubt Superintendent Gage will sell ex
cursion tickets over his road, on this occasion,
if a sufficient number of our citizens signify
their intention of going to justify him in so
doing.
The Cincinnati Gazette: "American eagles
from their cage in the Bauk of England will
soon be flopping their wings in their native
land. It is the wheat crop that tolls the
mover." Well, let 'em flop, and we hope large
numbers of them will find their way to the
coffers of Huntingdon county farmers, many
of whom have harvested more than usually
large crops of grain.
The Daily Reporter, published at New Castle,
Pa., during the camp meeting at that place,
by Chas. M. Kurtz, esq., was one of the liveliest
camp papers that ever reached our sanctum.
It was as full of news as a watermelon is of
meat, and was conducted with great ability.
So good and neat a paper as the Reporter
proved to be during its ten days' existence
should live always.
Hon. Galusha A. Grow tarried in our town,
for an hour or more on Tuesday morning, on
his way to Somerset, where he was to open
the campaign in this State on that evening.
Mr. Grow is one of the most effective speakers
and one of the best men in the Republican
party in the State. It is more than probable
that he will succeed coffee-pot Wallace in the
United States Senate.
Elmer Brown's horse took fright, on Friday
evening, at a large rock which had fallen off
one of the wagons delivering stone on the
penitentiary grounds, and running away sue
ceeded in throwing the driver out and making
kindling wood of the buggy. Harry Read's
horse frightened at the same boulder, the next
day, and came very near getting away. The
rock has been removed.
We are informed that several stone dams
have been built in different streams, in this
county, ready for the reception of fish-baskets
just as soon as the season of the year arrives
when eels begin to run down stream. This is
in direct violation of law, and we hope any
person caught in this piratical mode of fish
ing will be arrested and dealt with according
to the provisions of the Jaw.
We believe there was a Camp Daily printed
during the progress of the Juniata camp, but
not a number of it reached us during the whole
time of the meeting or since. If we are to
believe Father Frysinger, of the Lewistown
Gazette—than whom there is no more com
petent judge—who says that it "was a com
plete failure," we don't think that we missed
much information in regard to the cauip by
not haying received a copy.
Some newspaper man who was hard up fur
news(?), or some fellow who failed to see the
article at the time it was published, has resur
rected the Clearfield county bear story, which
tells of a trio of hunters getting into trouble
with an old she bear by attempting to capture
one of her cubs. This same story was pub
lished a month or more ago in that wide
awake paper, the RAftsinan's Journal. It had
a pretty general run through the press at the
time, but it seems it has got a fresh send off.
We had a call, on Monday morning, from
our Quaker City friend, Maj. Juo. M. Hewitt,
who had just returned from a business tour of
the western part of the State, and he reports
business "booming" in that section. His sales
exceeded, by several thousand dollars, any
similar trip since he has been in business.—
In every town where any kind of manufactur
ing is carried on, business is brisk and money
plenty, and the cry of bard times is not beard.
Huntingdon's capitalists might make a note of
this.
In all towns where a newspaper is pub
lished, every business man ought to advertise
in it, even if it is nothing more than a card
stating his name and the line of business in
which he is engaged. It helps to sustain the
paper, and lets the people in the distance
know that the town is full of business men.
The paper finds its way into hundreds of
places where a hand bill cannot reach. A
card in a paper is a travelling sign board, and
can be seen by every reader. "Think of these
things," and let your light shine.—Columbia
Courant.
Romeo, the largest trained elephant in this
country, and perhaps known to almost all our
readers, met a horrible death at Booneville,
Mo., on Tuesday of last week. Romeo and
his nine giant companions were allowed to
roam at will through the canvas (it being pre
vious to the afternoon perfJrmance), and in
his peregrinations came across the engine
driving the armature connected with the
electric light. The engine was making two
hundred and fifty revolutions a minute, and
Romeo, with characteristic curiosity, began
to investigate it, when his trunk was caught
in the revolving apparatus and torn out by the
roots. The poor animal lived but a short
time, and died in great agony. His owners,
Cooper, Baily & Co., of the London Circus,
valued him at $35,000.
During a brief visit to the quarry, on land
of the Wilson brothers, on Saturday after-
noon last, where stone are being taken out for
the foundation walls of the penitentiary, we
were shown a rock, which had been thrown
out a few hours previous, said, by those com
petent to judge, to contain over one hundred
perch of stone. In addition to this huge
boulder there wen several tons of stone of
smaller calibre thrown out by the same blast.
Two kegs of powder were used, and the shut"
was what is known among quarrymen as a
"sand blast." The quarry is in charge of Mr.
William Roberts, of Chester, Pa., a gentleman
who has had large experience in that line of
work. We understand that he superintends,
in person, the preparation of every blast, and
that with the care taken an accident is not at
all likely to happen and is next to impossible.
We are pleased to know that this part of the
work is in charge of a competent and careful
foreman.
George Chestnut, who n as in attendance at
Court last week, interested in some way with
the trial of the young men who were con
victed fur the robbery of Brewster's store, got
himself into trouble and into jail, for the
manner in which he left town, without settling
with Mr. Hallman. of the Farmer's llotel, fur
his boarding during his stay in this place.
By some means or other he got his carpet sack
away from the hotel, and when he was ready
to shake the Huntingdon dust from his feet,
he gave the sack in charge of a friend, who
was going by rail, to carry to Mill Creek fur
him, where George expected to meet him. Mr.
Hallman was suspicious that there was "some
thing rotten in Denmark," and ascertaining
that his man had started to walk to Mill
Creek he swore out a warrant and placed it
in the hands of constable Bathurst, who took
the 4:15 train and arrived at Mill Creek in
time to catch his man. He was brought back
and taken before Esquire Murray, who, in de
fault of bail, committed him to prison, but we
understand that he was subsequently released
on bail.
Mrs. Samuel Neal, of Oneida township, with
two or three other persons, made a very nar
row escape of being struck by the "shifter"
at the Fourth street. crossing, on Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs. Neal and her companions
had been out in the country in a one-horse
carriage, and arriving at the crossing while
the 4:15 train was lying at the depot, she
stopped her horse until the train would pass
on, and as soon as it did so she started her
horse, but the animal bad only wade a step or
two when the "shifter," which was close be
hind the passenger train, steamed past, and
had the horse nut luckily frightened and
changed its course, we would now be chroni
cling the death of the occupants of the car
riage. The horse ran upon the Miller House
pavement, and as soon as the engine was out
of the way attempted to flee up Fourth treet,
but with the assistance of the bystanders, and
Mrs. Neal, who is a good horsewoman, he was
stopped before he got fairly under way. Rail
road men make a great mistake in allowing
trains to follow each other so closely, and
many serious accidents are the result of it.
THE GAME AND FISH LAWS.—Note
withstanding the fact that we have repeatedly
publisli , :d the game and fish laws in the
JOURNAL, scarcely a day passes that some one
does not interrogate us in regard to some

THE OLD, OLD STORY.—Mr. John
Kurtz, a former resident of this place, and
who worked at his trade of gas fitter and
plumber with Mr. U. B. Lewis during his
residence here, met with au accident, on
Thursday of last week, which resulted in the
loss of his left leg. At present Mr. Kurtz
resides at Tyrone, and in company with his
wife and child, on the day stated, left their
home there for the purpose of visiting friends
at Spruce Creek. After spending the day at
Spruce Creek Mr. Kurtz concluded to leave
his family there and return to Tyrone alone.
In order to save railroad fare he intended
"beating his way" on a freight train, and in
attempting to board a train he missed his
footing and was thrown to the ground, and
his left leg falling under the wheels was so
crushed that amputation was necessary. He
was taken to his home, at Tyrone, where Drs.
Christy and Smith amputated the limb about
half way between the knee and ankle. We,
in common, with his many friends in this
place, sympathize with him in his misfortune.
We have some handsomely printed blank
deeds for sale at the JounNAL Store.
Court Proceedings.
A BLASPHEMOUS WaEreu.—The trial of Moore,
the accomplice of Conrad, who was last week
convicted of rape, was consmenced on Wed
nesday morning, but after hearing the testi
inony of Miss Fry, the District Attorney, by
leave of the Court, entered a nolle prosequi
as to the higher charge prefored against Moore,
and accepted a plea of guilty of assault and
battery. It was a matter of regret to every
one . who heard the eases tried (excepting of
course the prisoner lihnself) that he could not
have been convicted of an offense which would
make it possible for the Court to visit upon
him the punishment he deserved. His own
confession upon the stand in the preceding
case displayed such a mixture et' reli! , ion with
profanity, obscenity and licentiousness as was
absolutely horrifying.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.—The case of the
Commonwealth vs. David Stevens, Charles
Keighbaugh and William !.:eighbaugh, which
was tried on Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, was a fine example of the value of cir
cumstantial evidence. On the night of the
10th day of last February, Prosecutor's store
at Seltillo was entered between the hours of
eleven and one o'clock. The cellar door was
found open, a window pried open, the sash
and strips leaning against the side of the
building and goods to the value of $l5O, taken
away. These goods consisted of two boxes of
tobacco, two overcoats, seven pairs of light
knit drawers, several pairs of new suspenders,
a piece of corduroy, dry goods, segars and
notions. Now the robbers left no trace of
their presence excepting a hickory stick about
three feet long standing beside the window
sash. None of the goods were ever recovered
to this day. Who committed the robbery?
The chain of minute circumstances devel
oped by the Commonwealth shows how clear
headed, industrious, pains-taking investigation
will often succeed in unearthing crime when
to the criminals themselves their safety seems
assured.
David Kelso, a resident of Tod township,
Fulton county, testified that Stevens was an
orphan boy who had lived with him some
years ago, and left suddenly, unbeknown to
him, in company witliThe famous thief Lowry;
saw Stevens again for the first time between
the Ist and 10th of February. Stevens had
no regular home, but was at that time in that
community attending the protracted meeting
then held at Knobsville. About the 7th of
February, Stevens told Mr. Kelso that he was
going to church, thence to Mr. Wydal's to see
a cousin, and on the 9th to wanted to go to
Hustontown to see a certain party there. After
wards he said he was going to see an attorney
in llustontown about the collection of a pen
sion.
John Keighbaugh, a witnees for the defen
dants, testified that be is uncle and guardian
of the Keigtibaugh boys who are also orphans
and have no regular home. On the
morning of February 10th they were at
his place, some :two miles below Huston
town, having come home from protracted
meeting very late the night before, bringing
Stevens with them. They started out early
on the 10th, saying that they were going to
Rocky Ridge or some place where they could
get work. But they took no clothing with
them—nothing but a satchel with a few bis
cuits. They returned the next morning just
before daylight and were let in without a sin•
gle question and went to bed.
Charles Corbin testified that on the 10th,
just after dinner, while working at his broth
er's, alongside the public road near Waterfall
Mills or Jlubblesville, the three defendants
passed him. lle recognized them and tried to
engage them in conversation but Stevens said
he had not time to stop then ; witness asked
them where they were going; one of them re
plied that they were going to Dougherty's
coal bank to get work. Now they bad passed
the road leading to Dougberty's coal bank
over a mile back. They walked on about ten
steps when Stevens turned back and said they
were going to Orbisonia.
The boys were next seen by R. G. McNeil,
whose house they passed about 1 o'clock.
They had the satchel and a stick. Mr. McNeil
did not know them.
George Abbot, who knew the defendants,
met them between McNeil's and Saltillo at
about two o'clock. {Stevens was carrying the
satchel. The stick he had then was just like
the one found at the store. Tney were then
only about three quarters of an hour's walk
from Saltillo, or auout the same distance from
Three Springs. If they intended going . to Or
bisonia they were nine miles off their road
from where they starred down in Fulton
county. They c,iuld yet reach Orbisonia by
going to either Three Springs or Saltillo and
taking the half past three train.
David Stevens, an uncle of the defendant,
happened also to be traveling that road on
that day, and met them at Glasgow's, where
the road forks to Scottsville and Saltillo. He
asked David what time it was and David pull
ed out his watch and said it was just four.
The boys pulled out towards Saltillo. David
said they were going to Rocky Ridge to dig
coal, the others said nothing.
John M. Drake, esq., who was teaching
school at Glasgow's, said the boys passed the
school house about four o'clock. About
twenty minutes after, riding borne to Saltillo,
he overtook them alSout:one-tbird way to Sal
tillo. They were all walking very slowly, and
all smoking. He recognized the stick they
had as being either hickory or maple. (The
stick found at the store was in fact hickory
with bark mottled like maple.) The boys were
dressed like tramps. All wore slouch hats,
none hat' overcoats on.
The boys did not reach Saltillo until dark.
They had been four hours traveling four miles.
They had come sixteen miles from home, and
if they had started out for Orbisonia they
were only one mile nearer to it than when they
started.
R. W. Hudson, a storekeeper at Saltillo,
saw the boys across the street from where he
was chopping wood. First came the two
Keighbaughs, they went into Brewster's
store which was directly opposite from where
Hudson was. They looked like tramps. One
was carrying a satchel. Ile recognized the
Keighbaugh's as being the boys he saw there.
The store was afterwards shut, Mr. Brewster
and the clerk having gone to supper. Then
Stevens came up on the porch and stood
looking at the closed store door until Brew
ster came back. Witness had known Stevens
some years before but did not get to see his
face this time. Stevens had lived there and
was acquainted with the roads.
William Crum, while standing just below
Brewster's store, saw Stevens on the porch,
and as Brewster was not there witness, who
bad known Stevens some years before, walked
up to him and asked him what he wanted. H•
wanted in the store. Witness told him Brew
ster would soon be out, and after scanning
Stevens closely said to him, "I ought to know
you ?" Stevens replied "I don't think you do,
for I am not acquainted around here, I am a
stranger in this country," and with this re
mark he pulled his hat down over his eyes
and turned away from Mr. Crum. Then
Brewster came up and opened the store and
went in. Stevens followed, and looked up at
the goods. Witness asked him what time he
had, he replied his watch was not going.
Witness asked him then where he was trav
elling. Ple said he bad come down
,from
Dougherty's coal bunk where he kaci been dig
ging coal. lie had "batched' it there, board
ing himself. Then he said he was going to
Orbisonia to get a job. Mr. Brewster told him
work was scarce, that they only paid 72 cents
a day there. "Well," replied Stevens, "If
I can't get no work I will work fur my board
until Spring and then go West."
C. B. Crum, clerk, testified to the discovery
of the robbery by himself about halt•-past
eleven as he returned from taking his girl
home from meeting.
Mrs. Mary Lock testified that on the night
of the 10th, or morning of the 11th, just about
one o'clock. or shortly before, while sitting
up with a sick lady, she heard a noise in the
frosty air of the road outside. Upon looking
out she saw three persons corning from the
direction of Saltillo, and going post haste
towards Three Springs. They walked so fast
that their coat tails flew. One was smaller
than the other two. (It is a fact that one of
Keighbaugh's is smaller than the other two
defendants.) Two of them had overcoats on,
and all were large about the waist as though
carrying concealed goods.
Mr. Devoir, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Woolet also
saw these men walking through Three Springs
about three o'clock on that morning. One of
the witnesses put them as walking in opposite
direction from the others. They were then
near a sister of Stevens where they could
have stopped bad they been hunting work.
These are about the principal facts in the
case. Numberless small, yet significant little
guide marks cropped out during the trial. No
defense was made excepting upon the im
probability of the Commonwealth's theory,
and the impossibility of the defendants get
ting back home as quickly as they did had
they remained at Saltillo and Three Springs
until one and three o'clock.
RECORD OF CRIME.—As a result of the crim•
inal proceedings last week, the following seri
tutees were passed by the Court on Friday
morning : _ _
Tra T. Conrad, convicted of rape, was sen
tenced to pay a fine of $5OO, the costs of pros
ecution, and eight years imp' isonnteut iu the
penitentiary.
James S. Moore, convicted of assault and
battery, was sentenced to pay a fine of $2O
and costs, and be imprisoned six months in
the county jail.
David H. Stevens, Charles Keighbaugh and
William Keighbaugh, convicted of burglarious
larceny, were sentenced to three years im
prisoninent in the penitentiary.
David Walls, who plead guilty to escaping
from prison, was sentenced to a fine of five
duliars and imprisonment for six months in
the county jail, and John McDonald, for the
same offense, was sentenced to three months
imprisonment.
In passing sentence on Conrad the Cour ,
remarked as follows :
In this case the jury has found you guilty of
felonious rape. This is a most hellions crime.
There is just one crime that is deemed by the
law a little higher, and that is murder in the
first degree. The other grades of murder are
not considered higher offenses than rape.
Murder in the first degree, where the penalty
is death by hanging, is a little higher crime,
and there is no higher crime except rape.
Now we, as the Court, are happy that we are
relieved by the Constitution and laws of this
Commonwealth from deciding on the facts.
That duty is confined to twelve true men,
judicious, sober and intelligent citizens. They,
after a careful hearing of your case, after
carefully hearing all the evidence under oath,
and after hearing the able argument of your
counsel in your defense, nothing in your case
being submitted to the jury which should not
have been submitted, and everything being
done for you which the law permitted or de
manded or which you had a right to demand,
have found you guilty, and we have before us
here a verdict of guilty, which means that you
have committed next to the highest crime
that can be committed in Pennsylvania. Now
the Court, no matter what may have been our
doubts, must take that verdict with all that
it implies—guilty of rape. That jury has said
by their verdict that you, on last July, while
out near the Warm Springs, saw a poor, de
fenceless young girl, 17 years of.age, in the
house, no one by to hear her cries, no one to
protect her, that you went into that house, and
for the gratification of your beastly lusts, by
force, debauched her person. That is what
the verdict says. We cannot conceive, if the
verdict be true as it stands, of anything that
calls for more severe condemnation or more
exemplary punishment than this, and while
the law gives to the Court the discretion of
fixing the punishment at any period between
one and fifteen years, we do not think this is
a case which calls for the minimum penalty.
While we are of the opinion that the facts in
the case do not warrant the infliction of the
maximum, yet we do not think it calls for the
minimum. There are some aspects of the case
which point to the theory that the connec-
Lion was not had by force, such as her con
duct subsequent to the commission of the
horrid outrage, but it was submitted to the
jury, and they have found by their verdict
that it was done by an ignorant girt, who was
not aware of what was proper behaviour un
der the circumstances, and who was probably
frightened and knew not what she was doing;
but we take into view those subsequent facts,
which have not changed the verdict, but which
to some extent mitigate the penalty, and we
have reduced it considerably from the maxi
mum, but we do not intend to have it under
stood at all that this Court does not view with
the greatest indignation the crime of rape,
and were this case one which presented all
the features of a deliberately planned rape,
your sentence would not be one day less than
the maximum. But it does present some fea
tures, as presented by your counsel, which
seemed to show that it was not deliberately
planned ; that the crime was the offspring of
momentary passion, however henious it may
be. We therefore, in view of the facts in the
case, and everything that can be said, impose
upon you a little more than one-half of the
maximum which the law permits. We have
sincere sympathy for your wife and your
friends, but that must not operate with us in
the punishrneut which the law inflicts on those
who commit such dastardly crimes.
The sentence is that you pay a fine of $5OO
to the Commonwealth for the use of the
county of Huntingdon and the costs of prose•
cution, and undergo an imprisonment at sep•
arate and solitary confinement, at labor, in
the Western Penitentiary, in the county of
Allegheny, for the term of.B years.
In sentencing Moore, the Court remarked,
that it was a matter of regret that the evidence
did not justify a conviction for a higher crime,
while no higher crime was committed, yet
the conduct of the prisoner indicated such a
criminal intent as would seem to merit the
infliction ofa much more severe punishment
than the one for which he had been found
guilty. His conduct in going into the house,
knowing what had occurred, and with a mix
ture of religion, profanity and lasciviousness,
behaving in the manner he did, was most se
verely reprimanded.
A MOTHER AND BABE FALL EIGHTY
FEET INTO A PlT.—The Altoona Tribune of
Friday last gives the following account of a
singular accident which occurred to a Mrs.
Haley and her year-old child at Allegheny
ore bank, below Blair Furauce and about three
miles from that city, on Saturday night last.
There had been a picnic at a place called
Sandy run, within easy walking distance of
Mrs. Haley's residence, and the festivities
were kept up until after dark. On her way
home Mrs. Halay had to pass an old ore-shaft.
The night being dark she walked nearer to it
than she supposed. The rain of the afternoon
had softened the earth about the mouth of
the shaft, and as she innocently trod upon it
it gave way beneath her weight and slid into
the pit, carrying Mrs. Haley along with it.
Just then she realized ber peril and screamed.
She fell about eighty feet to the bottom. A
party of men who were most fortunately
following not far behind her heard the shout,
and on arriving at the spot from appearances
about the mouth of the pit correctly surmised
that some one bad fallen in. Lights were
procured and ropes ware brought into requisi
tion. A descent was made, and Mrs. Haley
was found in a position which indicated that
in the fall she had maintained her equilibrium,
for she was erect, but was sunk in mud and
water to het: arm pits. Mrs. Haley in her
terror had evidently temporarily forgotten her
infant and it had slipped from her embrace,
for it was found several feet away from its
mother floundering about the bottom of the
sh'aft in the mud. Both mother and child
were successfully raised to terra firma and
conveyed to their home. When the little one
was placed on solid earth it began to vomit
and ejected quantities of mud and dirty water.
Though the nature and extent of their injuries
has not been learned it is presumed they are
not serious, as it was understood by a Tribune
reporter from his informant last evening that
both were living then. It was a very fortu
nate escape for Mrs. Maley and her babe, and
the occurrence itself deserves to be mentioned
among accidents of the remarkable and curi
ous kind.
LITERARY NOTES.—
Wide Awake for September has an exquisite
frontispiece drawn by Miss L. B. Humphrey,
illustrating Miss Brown's poem, "Where the
Brook and River Meet." Next comes just
such a story as children love to read, "Fright
of the Beehive," by Margaret Eytinge. Then
comes an article for children that want to know
about "How Umbrellas are Made in Philadel
phia," by Mary Wager Fisher, profusely illus•
trated. "ri Si Poppatty?" by Katharine
Hanson will amuse both young and old phil
ologists. Mrs. Margaret J. Preston gives
another of her dainty art poems for the
children, "Little Titian's Palette," a pretty
pendant for Mr. Benjamin's papers on "Our
American Artists," of which No. IX. is about
Samuel Colman, with excellent illustrations.
"The Dogberrys" continue to be as interest
ing as ever, and in the second serial, "St.
Olave's," trouble seems to be certainly gath
ering for Mr. Jingles Gooding. "The adven
ture of "Don Quixote Jr." in this number is
about what might be expected. A very
charming story is "Piecing the Blocks," by
the author of "The Flossy and Bossy Stories."
But the two "star articles" of the number
are "Children at Newport," by "Margery
Deane," with twelve exquisite pictures made
at Newport by Miss Humphrey, and the new
Classic of Babyland, "Tom Thumb," by Mrs.
Clara Doty Bates, and illustrated daintily by
J. G. Francis.

Mr. William Black's new story, entitled
"White Wings ; a Yachting Romance" is
begun in the September number of the Eclec
tic Magazine. It opens very charmingly, and
promises to be one of Mr. Black's best. Be
sides Mr. Black's story it contains a large
number of interesting and valuable articles
from the foreign periodicals and a fine steel
engraving entitlel "Penn's Treaty with the
Indians." The new volume of the Magazine
began with the July number, and promises to
be one of the best ever issued. The regular
price of the Eclectic is $5 per year, or 45 cents
per copy ; but the three numbers of the new
volume will be sent to anyvne as a "trial
subscription" on receipt of VI and now is a
good time to give it a trial. E. R. Melton,

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENTS SAY,
CAN SUCH THINGS BE ?
Ma. EDITOR :—Having during the past week
visited, for the first time in my life, the Juni
ata Valley Camp Meeting, hear Newton Ham
ilton, I cannot in justice to the best interests
of society and of public morals refrain from
a passing notice of what could not fail to im
press the mind of any attentive observer as a
series of the most disgraceful and sic:k&•ning
pictures of immorality, drunkenness, obsce•
nity and Sabbath desecration that it has ever
fallen to my lot to witness.
Never, since, or even during the war, have I
seen as demoralized a crowd or as disgusting
ly shameful conduct as on board the crowded '
return train on Sunday evening. The fumes
of tobacco smoke and had whisky, the pro
fane oath, the obscene jest and the vulgar
song mingled iu horrid confusion till the
scene was fir more suggestive of a midnight
revel of fiends than that of a crowd of intelli
gent and moral citizens returning from a re
ligious meeting. There was hooting and yell
ing, shouting and cursing, with language un
fit for the ear of decency, till it seemed as if
the lower regions had for a time emptied its
surplus population to hold for the time being
an infernal revel here upon earth.
Of the immense crowd assembled on the
camp ground I do not think that one out of
ten attended or participated in any of the
religious exercises, while the grove and the
surroundings were filled with the lewd, the
licentious, the sunken and abandoned, of both
sexes, regardless of decency and careless of
exposure. . . . .
But it was during the last night of the
meeting, on the camp ground and on the way
home, that the most shameful, disgusting and
soul-sickening scenes were witnessed. Drunk
enness, lewdness, profanity, licentiousness
and general rowdyism seemed to hold their
mad revel without a hand to stay them, with
out distinction of arz or condition, all on the
same common drunken level, and that far
down beneath the level of the brute-creation.
A drunken woman, under any circumstances,
is a most revolting and pitiable sight, and of
all of Eve's frail daughters is regarded as the
most sunken and debased, but, shall we say
it, here were young ladies, no, not ladies, but
young women, daughters of respectable citi
zens of this town and elsewhere, whose names
I am strongly tempted to, and may hereafter
give, on the camp ground that night, within
the sound of the gospel, alternately passing
the whiskey bottle, smoking cigars and singing
blackguard songs ! And even this was eclipsed
by their conduct on the way homeward ; where
these young girls were to be seen, some of
therm reeling through the cars,
smoking ci
gars and regaling the crowd with slang
phrases, obscene remarks and snatches of vul
gar songs, while others, more completely over
come with the fumes of their debauch, were
half sitting, half lying on the seats in a drunk
en stupor unconscious or indifferent to the
indecent exposure of their persons to the
gaze of the vulgar crowd, and in this condi
tion they were taken from the cars to their
homes. What a sight for parents to gaze on !
Now, in view of such an alarming condi
tion of public morals we are led to inquire
the cause. Is crime then so fearfully on the
increase ; is society retrograding instead of
advancing in point of morality and virtue ; is
this the result of a want of home training and
wholesome restraint, or are these some of
the necessary results attendant upon a meet
ing for the worship of Almighty God? One
word more by way of comment. In conver
sation with one of the ministers during the
early stages of the meeting, in reply to an in
quiry as to bow the meeting was prospering,
(spiritually of course), the answer was about
as follows: "Well now we are doing very
well ; we have taken in yesterday and to day
=ore money than on the corresponding days
last year, and by to-morrow I think we will
do better still, so that upon the whole I think
the meeting this year will be a decided suc
cess." The primary object of the meeting,
the preaching of the gospel and the conver
sion of sinners was never once hinted at, and
I could not help exclaiming, good heavens !
has it come to this I May not the answer to
the inquiry be measureably found in this, that
the church in its anxiety to meet the world
half way has at last got down to its level ;
that the overwhelming anxiety to make money
has tekea precedence of every other consider
ation to such an extent that the primary ob
ject of the meetings has been lost sight of,
and their influence for good has departed. If
so, would it not be well either to commence a
radical change in the manner of conducting
these meetings or dispense with them entire
ly.
But in any event let rue implore the parents
and guardians of those yoking girls, in view
of the fearful responsibility resting upon
them, to look more carefully to the moral
condition of their offspring. Their criminal
neglect in this direction is entailing upon so
ciety a fearful curse, and sowing the seed
which will eventually yield it fearful harvest
of suffering, misery and crime.
BUGGY STOLEN.—On Wednesday of
last week two nice (?) young men from Broad
Top City, Huntingdon county, having in their
possession a pacing grey mare, came to the
livery stable of ex-sheriff Cessna, in this place,
and desired to hire a buggy to go to the Springs.
They got a good top buggy, but instead of
going to the Springs they took the other end
of the road, and the last heard of them was in
Juniata township. One of the young men is
a physician and the other is an agent for the
sale of cigars. Diligent search has been made
for these scoundrels but up to this time it has
been fruitless.—Bedford Gazette, 22nd inst.
