A few nights ago a young lady in this place
ate half a wedding eAke, and then retired to
dream of her future husband. Next morning
she was nervous and restless, and said she
would rather die an old maid than marry the
man she saw in her dreams. He must have
been simply frightful or she would never have
formed such a resolution.
Oa Friday last we had the pleasure of ta
king by the hand our clever friend, Col. J.
Dorsey Green, of Lemont, Centre county,
formerly of Barree Forges ; this county. We

vial gentleman as of yore, and a stalwart Re
publican in whom there is no guile.

That "cake play" spoken of by one of our
pastors a few Sundays ago, as a trifling affair,
seems to trouble the "noddles" of some of
our young men much ; yes, exceedingly much,
so much so, that they now declare openly that
they will indulge iu the play of "kissing the
maker" whenever an opportunity presents
itself, notwithstanding the strictures made
by the "powers that be."
A grope thief completely cleaned out the
luscious truit from the arbor of one of our
colored brethren on Monday night a week
ago, and on Wednesday night came back to
interview his chicken coop, when a neighbor,
observing the scalawag, treated him to a dose
of cold lead. Pity he wasn't hit just enough
to have his name brought before the com
munity by the calling in of a physician.
A valuable blooded horse belonging to Capt.

Judging from the tone of the Hollidaysburg
Register, its editor is not at all well pleased,
but cross, as he has a right to be, at. the

Sometime in August last we published in
the JOURNAL an account of the banging of
Chris. ;-;payd, an old boatman, known hccea
ways, by a vigilance committee, at some one
of the forts in Arizona. It seems, however,
that Chris. is still in the land of the living, as
be was arrested and committed to prison, in
Harrisburg, on Monday- morning, to answer
the double charge of highway robbery and
breaking jail. The story of his hanging is of
his own invention, and was concocted for the
purpose of throwing the eastern detectives off
his track.
The earth, up to about three hundred and
sixty years ago was supposed to be a plane,
and that it rested upon the head of a serpent,
and that the serpent in turn reposed upon a
tortoise. The Greenbackers, by their talk,
evidently think they occupy a similar:position
to that of the tortoise, and uphold an impor
tant part of the political element in this
county. But what the tortoise and the Green
backers rest upon, ancients and moderns have
never been able to say. Perhaps we can an
swer the mooted question by saying upon
"huge bags of wind," and they will find it
out when the ides of November come around.
The first thing the new editor of the Lew
istown True Democi at must have done after
he mounted the tripod in that print shop, was
to cut the JouahL from his exchange list, as
we have not received a copy of that paper
since the retirement of Mr. Frysinger. We
were really anxious to see his paper,
so much
so that we went to the trouble to borrow a
copy. from Brother Fleming, of the Monitor.
but after hawing rc anued it closely we don't
think that we have lost much by its non-ap
pearance at our office, and we are sure that
our slumbers are nut at all disturbed by his
treatment of us.
Loud laughing or talking on the street,
either at day time or night, is a most repre
hensible practice, especially when it is in
dulged iu by young ladies. It is now a com
mon thing for a number of them to congregate
either at the corners of our thoroughfares, or
in the middle of them, and indulge iu this
practice in such a boisterous manner as to
attract the attention of passers-by a square or
more off. "Laugh and grow fat" is an old
adage we know, but we think there is a time
and place for it, the same as for other things.
We fear for the future of these young maidens
in question if they do not desist from this un
maidenly practice.
At the recent session of the Board of Par
dons, held in Harrisburg last week, pardons
were refused Steward Walker, who was sent
to the penitentiary, from Centre county, for
the theft of Senator Peale's mare, and Daniel
Bailey, who was sent from this county for
robbery. Walker is also a native of this
county, and a very bad native he has proven
himself to be. It will be remembered that he
was badly wounded at the time of his arrest,
and the plea for his pardon was that he still
suffers from his wound and is also a victim of
consumption.. The Board will meet again cc
the third Tuesday in October.
Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh has just housed a new
buggy, which was built, after plans of his
own, by Mr. James V. Lee, of our town, and
which is one of the neatestand easiest-running
vehicles in this neck o' woods. The springs
are known as the ''Dexter springs," and will
carry you over rough and stony roads with
less jar and jolt than any other springs in the
market. The materials used in its manufac
ture were gathered from several States, and
are the very best that could be purchased,
and they are put together in a style which
reflects credit upon Mr. Lee as a first-class
workman. The Doctor is well pleased with
his buggy, and Mr. Lee ought to be proud of
the elegant job he made of it.
This is the season of the year when the
careful head of the family ruts up and pre
pares his stoves for the coming cold weather.
And just here we would remind our readers
that if any of them are in need of a stove of
any kind, the best place to purchase it is at
the store of W. S. Bair, in this place, who will
sell you a better article, for less money, than any
other dealer in the county. Mr. Bair tells you
through the columns of the JOURNAL what he
has to sell, and we pledge you our word that
he will deal honorably with you, and will give
you more value for the same amount of money
than any one else that we know of. Go and
examine his large assortment of stoves before
you close a bargain elsewhere.
James A. McCaban, e.q., after reading Pro
fessor Gnss' address, tnarked that he re
membered seeing the or inal standing stone
at Huntingdon. He said the stone stood close
to the bank of the river at Dean's fording, at
the vast end of Railroad street, near the old
academy building, on the land owned by Patty
Gem and from 1818 to 1820 a part of the
stonlay on the William Jackson Hotel porch.
A piece was put in the foundation of Dr. Hen
derson's old office, where it can possibly still
be found. He don't remember seeing any in
scription on the stone. Mr. Newberry also
said he remembered seeing the stone on the
hotel porch, and helped to carry it in the hotel
cellar, where it might still be found —Holli

At the Methodist church, Sunday, two' ex
cel lent sermons were preached by Rev. Richard
Hinkle, pastor. The theme of the morning
discourse was "Speak unto the Children of
Israel that they go forward," whilst the eve
ning lecture was on "The Broad Way and the
Narrow Way." On both occasions good
audiences listened to Mr. Hinkle, and be im
pressed his bearers as a man thoroughly in
earnest with his work and in sympathy with
his subjects, and every sentence and word
were effective, both in rhetoric and in oratory.
The themes were unbackneyed, and were en
riched with rare gleams of light. He has the
secret and the vita of arousing his hearers to
give thought to his golden words, and we hope
he may be the means of doing much good in
our midst whilst he remains with us.
A FATAL SHOOTING ACClDENT.—Yes
terday morning Nelson Barnes, a cigar-maker
by occupation, but lately employed in the
Drying House at Tecumseh Tannery, having
a couple of days' furlough on alcount of a
sore on one of his legs, took a gun and went
up on the piountain side to see if be couldn't
shoot a squirrel or a pheasant for a sick
woman at the tannery. He returned unsuc
eessful down the railroad about half4ast 9
o'clock, and while exchanging a few words
about his hunt with Mr. Jacob Barndollar,
(tanner,) in front of the Everett railroad sta
tion house, with his gun resting on the ground
in front of him, his right hand resting on the
muzzle, the piece was unaccountably dis
charged, sending a load of shot into the man's
face and brain. The charge entered his left
cheek near the mouth, and coursing upward
and inward, forcing out his left eye, lodged in
his brain. He fell backward, his head stri
king the iron rail, cutting a great gash in the
scalp, but he struggled up again to a •sitting
posture when he was assisted to his feet by
Mr. Jacob Barndollar and Dan. King, with
whose assistance he made a few steps, when
be sank to the earth to rise no more. Medical
aid was at once sent for, and everything that
could be done for him under the circumstances
was done by Drs. S. G. Miller and D. F.
Earnest ; but it was of no avail. The man
was fatally shot, arid no medical or surgical
skill could save him. That he was past hu
man aid was painfully evident from the first;
and after a half hour's labored and irregular
breathing, he ceased to breathe entirely, and
he was dead. He was unconscious from the
moment of the fatal explosion, and never
spoke.
Nelson Barnes was a son of Archibald
Barnes, a native of this community, and was
aged about 23 years. Ile leaves a wife an
one child, who have been away from home for
a week, visiting relatives in Fulton county.
The theory of Mr. Defibaugb, the gunsmith,
about the discharge of the gun is, that having
an unnsuslly strong spring that pressed the
trimmer very bard on the nipple, a slight jar
of the butt on the bard ground of the railroad
track produced concussion sufficient to break
the cap and thus discharge the load. • Or, be
may have touched it with his foot.—Everett

FRUIT-CANNING.—Of all the employ
ments of the domestic circle, fruit earning is
one of the most interesting, important and
universal. As the "canning" season is now
about.over, some wise reflections, by a wise
person, to a wisdom-loving people, upon this
all-absorbing subject may not go amiss. As
this is strictly a scientific subject, it will be
proper to give it a scientific savor. We will
therefore give some fundamental truths :
Firstly.—ln order fir "fruit canning" to In
a success, it takes fruit, Mil is evident to al
intelligent readers (it is for such alone this
article is written) from the nature of the case.
Secondly.—ln order for "fruit canning" tc
he a SUCCeS it takes ra.qm. This is self-evi
dent. Any man who disputes [his statement
ought to be exiled, or sent over to the Demo
cratic parts-1 be be not there alreAdy—the
Lome of incorrigible fools and skeptics.
Third!y.—lu order for "fruit calming to be
a success, it takes women. Fruit cunning
a hazardous businiss, and none but muscular,
resolute, dell int women slion;d Aare engage
in it. I remember once readinv of a woman,
the wife of a minister, attempting to cage
some of those fiery creatures When, an intern
al war taking place, and the can being
rent in twain, some of the boiiing substance
flew upon her, searing and otherwise marring
her fair face, the effects of which she hardly
recovered from in a firtnight. We repeat that
it is a dangerous warfare, and those engaging
in the business should 'on thoroughly equipped
and armed.
A man should not undertake it. It is not
only beyond leis sphere, but beyond his inge
nuity. If this change should take place in
domestic life, behold the result! On account
of inexperience and natural awkwardness,
manufacturers of can-ware would be overtax
ed to supply the extra demand by breakage
or other mishaps ; fruit would be scarce and
dear when most needed, fur it would proba,
bly all spoil in the cans, and he unfit fur use ;
be would be continually cutting or bruising
his clumsy fingers, and barrels and barrels of
oaths would be the consequence ; and it would
further prot,ote the indolence of that ease•
taking, luxury-loving part of humanity—wo
man. So let no man disgrace his high call
ing by presuming to engage in a work so re
sponsible and so grand, so peculiarly fitted
to the exalted sphere and coveted "rights" of
women. Even the "Lion of the North"could
conquer a German army with greater ease and
better grace than he could "put up" one dish
of those "modern delicacies." I know not the
origin of fruit canning, but I know that thirty
five years ago such a practice was scarcely
known. Formerly fruit cans were made out
of tin or of dark or translticen4 glass; now
they are made of tin, transparent glass and
crockery.
Fruit canning, as I said, is important and
praise -worthy. It is no disparagement to
mothers in rura to say that they still hold to
the doctrine of our ancestors, that parents
can leave to their children no grander legacy
than the habit of honest industry, and a pre
paration against the wants and necessities of
the future. Uur mothers still think that an
honest, humble life in rura is preferable to au
indolent, licentious life in urbem. Hence no
better recommendation can a daughter have
than a pantry well filled with different kinds
of dried, preserved, aed cannel fruit. 4o our
mothers seem to understand it, and so at this
season of the year, if visitors drop in when
things are rather topsey turvey, mother never
shrinks from informing them, especially if
they are relatives to her daughter's gallant,
that "we have such an abundance of fruits
and vegetables, that we have all been jtist as
busy as ‘nailers' all day long, and that we did
not even get time to scour the knives, dust
the parlor, clean the lamp, make the beds,
sweep the yard, or do anything else." Laying
up food in this way for future use adds to the
comfort and contentment of the household.

ices iu the rickety walls and floor, moan in
the old maples or the weeping willow tree
hard by, when the dog shivers in his kennel,
and beast and bird gladly shelter themselves
from the driving storm ; when the streets are
deserted, excepting here and there a lonely
traveler, fleeing before the wind, or at some
mad corner where adverse winds meet strug
gling to retain his footing, and obstinately en
deavoring to breast the fierce storm, when
steamboats are ice-locked and railroads have
buried themselves under the snow, as if they,
too, wanted to escape the fierce tempest; when
stern winter transforms the earth to dreary
desolation, then it is pleasant, at nightfall,
to gather with the "dear ones" around the
cheerful fire, to talk over the events of the
day and the week, and to say in the words of
the ancient farmer, "Soul thou bast much
goods (provisions) laid up for many years,
take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry."
TIIE NEXT CENSUS.—The Defy of
Enumerators.—The Best lien fel the Vice.—
Tile Superintendent of the Census Bureau has
issued a circular in relation to the office of
enumerator under the Census law, iu which
the duties of that office are defined, and other
information in regard to the discharge of these
duties is even . The duties in the main are
identicaPwith those of Assistant Marshal un
der the last three census, but the provisions
of the law regarding the time and the size of
the enumeration districts make the office
differ widely from the former. Under the old
law subdivisions were - limited to 20,000 in
habitants, while by the present law they are
limited to 4,000, and will be generally con
fined to a single town where the number may
be even less. By the old law, from June Ito
Nov. 1 was allowed for the enumeration, while
under the present statute it is required to be
made in June, and iu cities of more than
10,000 inhabitants in two weeks from the first
Monday in June. The aggregate amount of
compensation to an enumerator cannot exceed
$lOO, as only one month's time is allowed,
and the pay not to exceed $4 a day.
It is expected that enumerators will work
in their own immediate locality, knowing and
known Lo most of those they enumerate, with
out incurring traveling expenses in a majority
of cases, and in many instances the work can
be done without materially interfering with
their other vocations, so that a more compe
tent class of enumerators may be secured.
Township Assessors and other local officers,
Postmasters at small offices, &c., are suggested
as men likely to perform the work faithfully
and intelligently. Country physicians within
the circuit of their usual practice would, it is
thought, often make excellent enumerators.
Their knowledge of vital conditions, their ap
preciation of the importance of trustworthy
statistics, together with their knowledge of
the history of families, would combine to
make retarns alike of deaths and the living
population from officers of this class especially
valuable. There would also be the practical
consideration that men of this profession are
as a rule already mounted, and their service
in the capacity of enumerators would involve
no expense whatever for outfit. Schoolmasters
have been found ih England among the best
qualified enumerators. Accustomed to keep
lists and make reports, almost uniformly ac
curate in accounts, trained in punctuality and
precision, and accustomed to enforce them
upon others, the teacher, within his school
district, would generally do his work rapidly,
neatly and accurately.
"THEY . ALL DRINK."—It is well known
that at certain central.agencies a recorlis kept
of the name, position and standing of nearly
every business man in the country. Careful
meu are employed to collect the information,
and it not only includes the amount of prop
erty which the parties are worth, but also their
standing as regards punctuality, promptness,
integrity, temperance, morals, etc. A num
ber of years ago it was stated by Mr. Pelou
bet, that a firm of four men in Boston were
rated as "A 1," rich, prosperous, young and
prompt. One of them had a curiosity to see
how they were rated, and found these facts
on the book and was satisfied, but at the end
it was written, but they all drink." He thought
it was a good joke at the time; but to-day,
two are dead, another is a drunktlrd, the
fourth poor and living on charity.
This is the outcome of the fact stated in
the words, "they all drink." Basiness men
know very well that stich habit% are to be
reckoned in making an estimate of the prob
able success of any business man. He who
would prosper in any business undertaking
should learn to shun the cup. Moderate drink
ing leads to drunkenness, and this involves the
wreck of morals, business, fortune, family,
and all he had. No man can trust the word
of a drinking man. Some drink benumbs
conscience, vitiates judgment, rots out prin
ciple, and ruins the man. "Wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging, and whosoever is de
ceived thereby is not wise."-4:cchangc.
NEW MEAT MARKET.—Mr. George R
Friedly requests us to say that on Monday
next he will open up a meat market in the
new building, just erected by him, immedi
ately below the postoffice, where he will be
happy to have his old friends and customers,
and everybody else, call and see him and leave
their orders for meat. All kinds of meat will
be kept constantly on hand which will be sold
as lizw as the lowest. Thankful for past pub•
lie patronage, he hopes by strict attention to
business and an effort to please, to merit a
continuance of the same.
TERIUBLg ACClDENT.—Yesterday of
ternoon, about 2 o'clock, flurry Clabaugh,
switchtender on the north side of the yard
above the Fourth street crossing met a fright
ful death. Ile had turned the switch for
dinkey, No. 71 to pass down the track, after
which he jun►ped on the footboard in front of
the engine to go down to the crossing, to con
verse with his father, it is supposed—as he
frequently did—who tends the switches below
Fourth street. He was chatting with another
employe who was on the footboard with him,
and when he reacl:ed the crossing he jumped
off to the site, on to No. l track, immediately
in front of the way passenger train, hauled by
engine No. If►;, and driven by Robert. Card
ner. Mr. Gardner was horrified at the sight.
and was barely able to sound a single, sharp
whistle ere the engine was upon the unfortu
nate man. It W. 14 impossible to apply the
air brake, for he was scarcely , ten feet away.
The engine struck him and threw him twice
up into the air to the height of the head light,
when he fell alongside of the track, and was
caught by the boxes of the cars and rolled
along the track like a ball. His head was split
open at the top, exposing his brains; both .
arms were broken, besides other severe inju
ries. When picked up he was dead. Ile was
carried into the car inspectors' room to await
the Coroner's investigation. Ile resided on
Fifth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues,
and was 21 years and 8 months old, and was a
son of Thomas Clabaugh. He leaves a wife and
two children to mourn their untimely loss.
His wife is a daughter of Mr. John Geesey, the
well known contractor and builder. Coroner
Humes subsequently held an an inquest over
the remains, the jury returning a verd►t that
his death was purely accidental, no blame at
taching to any one.—Altoona Tribune of lion
day.
A CARD.—Believing nearly .one year
ago that the present Autumn would see the
country on the high road to prosperity, we
commenced then to make preparations for a
business of great magnitude.
To properly arrange for a stock surpassing
all we had before attempted, we sent abroad
several buyers, who visited all the chief man
ufacturing centres of Europe, especially in
England, France and Germany.
Through them we have succeeded in con
tracting for large quantities of Specialties,
which will be confined to ourselves exclusive
ly, as well as general stock of Novelties and
Staple Fabrics, unsurpassed in the Arßerican
market.
The most careful study has been given to
the cheapening of supplies, and it is believed
that with our present arrangements the con
sumer who deals at our house will stand
nearer to the producer than ever before in the
history of the trade.
The products of the best makers, Foreign
and Domestic, will be distributed by us in
any quantity, small or larg', with only our
small profit added to the lowest prices (less
all discounts) at which manufacturers will
contract withllie largest cash buyers.
A number of alterations and improvements
have been made to our store property conduc
ing still further than heretofore to the con
venience and comfort of our patrons, and res
pectfully inviting visits of inspection on and
after this date. September 14, we announce
the formal OPENING OF THE FALL BUSI
NESS OF 1879.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.—SOUiC I.II.IkUOWII
scoundrel made a brutal assault upon a young
girl in what is known as "Lloyd's Wool,"
near Altoona, on Friday evening, as she was
returning home from school. The Tribune
says "when she repelled his advances, he
drew a knife on her, threatening her life if she
did not comply with his infamous demand.
But the brave girl was not to be frightened
into terms in that way. She freed herself from
his grasp, and seized a stone and struck him
a blow on his forehead that made him see
stars, cutting his head and causing the blood
to flow freely. Subsequently she fainted, and
on recovering found the villain had departed
without accomplishing his purpose. She had
previously uttered a scream which drew some
persons living in the neighborhood to the
scene, but her assailant had fled. Some spots
of blood on the road could be traced for a
considerable distance, proving that the fiend
had got the worst of the bargain." It is a
great pity that the villain cannot be caught
so that Judge Dean would get a chance at
him; he disposes of such lecherous scoun
drels in the proper way.
T USA Ea ACQUITTED.—MichaeI y. Tur
ner, of Clearfield county, who for the past
two weeks has been on trial in Clinton coun
ty, by a change of venue, fJr the murder of
Mrs. Maria Waple, in 1875, was on Saturday
last acquitted. Turner was tried in Clearfield
county, found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged, but his case was taken to the Supreme
Court and that tribunal awarded him a new
trial. The prisoner was ably defended, Sen
ator -Wallace being one of his counsel. The
jury was out about three hours, and when
they returned to the court room and delivered
their verdict of "not guilty," it was received
with applause by the spectators, and Turner
was warmly congratulated by .his friends
upon his safe deliverance. Ile made a very
narrow escape, and he has reason to thank
his counsel that his neck escaped the hang
man's noose.

Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn of every known
malady. This is due, in part to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact
that any disturbance of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowe's
and the nervous system, and affects, to some
extent, the quality of the blood.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron a sure
cure. This is not a new preparation, to be
tried and fould wanting ; it hat been pre
scribed daily for many years in the practice
of ' eminent physicians with unparalleled
success; it is not expected or intended to cure
all the diseases to which the human family is
subject, but is warranted to cure Dyspapsia in
i's most obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter
Wine of Iron never fails to cure. Symptoms
of Dyspepsia are loss of appetite, wind and
rising of the food, dryness of the mouth,
heartburn, distension of the stomach and
boNels, constipation, headache, dizziness,
sleeplessness, and low spirits. Try the greet
remedy and be convinced of its merits. Get
