FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, Is the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisautents for the JUURNAL. Be has our best rates. LO AI. AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen We want rain. Beautiful Autumn. Sheriff Irvin is sick again. Flour is advancing in price. Hallow'een two weeks hence. Jimmy Johnston is on his pins again. The bad boy goes nutting on Sunday. The weather is very warm for October. Turkeys are being fed for the slaughter. Apples only 20 cents a basket in Johnstown Hon. John Cessna was in the city on Sam day. Rev. Hollifield preached in the M. E. church on Thursday evening. The front of Friedley's new meat market was put in list week. Tac fall style of goods are beginning to as itate the ladies jast now. Prof. Geo. W. Sanderson is going extensively into the school book business. Tl:e Blair county Radical has been removed to more commodious quarters. Sportsmen can now legally gobble in the partridges—in case they can find them. Saving at the spiggot and squandering at the bung 1•ole is the style of some men. Democratic visages are considerably elon gated siuce the Republican boom in Ohio. The Juniata river is so very low at different points that persons can cross it dry shod. The cheapest and best Blank Books in the county are to be had at the JOURNAL Store. Ethel Medium, the Altoona mare, won first money, $125, in the trot at the Mifflin county fair. Bishop Tuigg, of Pittsburgh, spent Wednes day night in our town, the guest of Rev. Father Another, and the fifth, arrival of boots and shoes at the Boston, opposite the JOURNAL Store Hoop trolling is indulged in to an alarming extent by the small urchin and his little lov ing sister. The "haw-haws" of "the girl of the period" can still be heard at night, for two or three squares off. The Lord is still With the people. For par ticulars, glance at the Ohio election news in another column. A new Republican paper is talked of in Tyrone, which is an evidence that the fools are not all dead. • Quite a large crowd collected at the depot on Saturday afternoon to witness the arrival of the Altoona military from Bedford. Pr. McCarthy, of the Mt. Union Times, is after the council and street commissioner of hat town with a very sharp pencil. Now, to-day—not next week—is the time to subscribe and pay for the JOURNAL, "the handsomest and best paper in the county." We hear it stated that Hon. John Lemon, of Hollidaysburg, has a contract for straighten ing the track of the P. R. R. near this place. Dust here, dust there, dust everywhere, and we are having a very dusty time. It is to be hoped, however, that a shower will soon lay it low. W. W. Gary has invented a railroad signal which knocks all other signals far into the shade. It is now being tested by the I'. It. It. Co. Apples, potatoes, corn, oats, and sicb, taken at this office in payment of subscription. Hur ry along your produce, if you desire to pay up in this way. Quite a large number of our citizens last week housed their coal for winter use, and the rattle of the black diamonds was heard in all directions. As a reliable and cheap remedy for the va rious affections of the throat and lungs, we heartily recom&iend Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Price 25 cents. David Calch. ell, esq., who was en a five weeks' jaunt through the West, returned home on Thursday of last week, looking all the bet ter for his trip. Prof. J. Irvin White has purchased the brick house recently occupied by Capt. H. C. Weaver. The price, we understand, was $1,400. Cheap. It is not an evidence of good breeding for a young lady, when entertaining company ou the front stoop, to.laugh loud enough to be heard a square away. Since Cal. Hackett joined the repotorial force cf the Call there has been a marked im provement in the paper, and it seems to be growing better each day. Our townsman, Rev. A. Nelson Hollifield, furnished a full report of proceedings of Pres bytery, which met at M'Veytown last week, for the Altoona Tribune. No one can witness the sufferings of the baby, without feelings of extreme pity ; for these sufferings, however, Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup is a sovereigti remedy. Burning leaves on our thoroughfares is a nuisance that should be abated at once.- Have we an ordinance prohibiting it? If so, let it be enforced instanter. Charles Boyle, the tramp arrested in Har risburg for the robbery of Kerr's store, in Shirleysburg, was brought to this place and imprisoned on Friday evening. The colored campmeeting at Summers' gar • den was largely attended of Sunday after noon and night. Nearly all went to see and to be seen and not to do good. We want two or three loads of good kindling wood at this office, on sight. Now is the time for those persons who seemed so anxious to pay for their papers in this way. A party of New York capitalists are pros pecting for cement in the vicinity of Newton Hamilton, and should it be found in sufficient quantities they propose to "push things." Director of the Poor, James Harper, esq., dropped into the JocatrAL sanctum, the other day, and renewed his subscription to "the handsomest and best paper in the county." We are extremely sorry to hear that our es teemed old friend, Mr. Henry Cornprobst, is in precarious health. We hope that he may recuperate and be spared many years. The religious meetings held during the past two weeks at the Methodist Church. were sus. pended for the present, on Sunday night. They will be resumed in the near future. Rev. Hollifield and G. B. Armitage, esq., went on a fishing excursion to Newton Ham ilton, on Tuesday last, and returned in the evening with a long string of good sized bass. The man too poor to buy a two cent news paper to get the news, will be in attendance at the minstrel show this Thursday evening. He'll borrow his neighbor's paper to-morrow. A couple of "Scotchmen," born in Ger many, with bagpipes and clarionet, made music for the gamin one day last week. They didn't add much to their wealth during their stay. The pig-stys on the back streets should re ceive the attention of the proper authorities, as the effluvium arising from some of them is most noxious and detrimental to the enjoy ment of good health. According to the Mt. Union Times 5,000 cabbages were raised on the poor house farm this season. "Pickled manure," sometimes called saur-kraut, ought to be plenty about that institution this winter. L. S. Geissinger, esq., left last week for a tour of inspection through Colorado and the country adjacent, and should lie find a loca tion suitable, it is his intention to nail his legal shingle on the outer wall. He came to town the other day, spent three dollars for liquor, got drunk, spent the night on a store goods box, and arose in the morn ing with hair on his teeth, saying that he was too poor to take his county paper. W. F. Reynolds, csq., of Bellefonte, has mad 3 that town a present of the "Big Spring" -which furnishes the water supply for it. It was a most liberal gift and one which the peo ple of that village fully appreciate. A WLII posted Pitt ourgh druggist 'Says that there are not less that two hundred opium eaters in that city. We opine front this that the almond eyed Chinaman is not the only opium cater in that tax-ridden ci:y. A fire at this time in our borolif , :it would do considerable devastation, owing to the scar city of water, and still we have those in our midst who oppose the erection of w iterworks, all, because they will cost too much• Elwood Miller, whci spent four months at the cattle ranche of his brother Tom. in Ne braska, returned home last week. We under stand be is farerahly impressed with the country and the life of a rancheman. Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Willoughby, both resi dents of Mifflin street, between Third and Fourth, have repaired and improved their residences. An additional story and a new roof have been added to each of theta. Joseph Bardine, formerly of Mt. Union, and who a few years ago figured prominently in the politics of this county, has stuck his stakes at Leadville, Col., where he is a candidate fur justice of the peace in that modern Sodom. Mt. Union has a girl, according to the Times , "1A ho can eat.two plates of oysters, twenty four crackers, and two dishes of pickled cab bage and be ready for more." She must wear a rubber corset so that she has a chance to spread. Joe Jacob, eldest son of our townsman, Mr. Betij.Jacob, has gone to Altoona, in which city he proposes to start a clothing and gents fur nishing store. Joe has had considerable ex perience in that branch of trade and ought to succeed. The gutter on tlw north side of AlHrbeny street, between Third and Fourth streets, should at once receive the attention of the Board of Health. It is a disease-breeding, nuisance, and a disgrace to any well regulated corporation. Since the Ohio election, the fivpublicans have hem' wearing smiling con ntenantes, the ll,inocrats' are lengthened and look demure, whilst the "cross-eyed" chaps are more cross eyed than ever. Surety, now, the price of a shave will go up. On Tuesday night last before the hour of eleven o'clock, some novturnal plunderer stripped Col. Bob Allen's clothes-line of the weck's wash. Among tile articles stolen were a number of shirts and several articles of ladies' wearirg, apparel. Prof. David Emmert and Mr. B. F. BJwscr, of the Brethren's College, of thk place. on Saturday last, discovered a cave on the lirtn of Mr. Samuel Sharp, near Allenville; in Mif flin county, but of what magnitude further exploration alone can tell. The gamin now worries the female portion of the household by the ringing cf the door bells and hanging "tictacs" on the window frames, after nightfall, instead of being in bed where he ought to be. If he comes to a bad end who is to blame, he or his parents'.' Benj. Jacob having determined to retire from the mercantile business, is selling his entire stock of choice, seasonable and fashion able goods at cost and carriage. Our readers will do well to visit his store and see for themselves what bargains he has to offer. One day last week a hawk swooped down upon the - back of a full-grown chicken be longing to Mr. Jno. L. Robland, of Walker township, and tried his level best to gobble the fowl, but it proved too heavy a load for hint and he was compelled to forego his coveted repast. Now that the cigar makers and the printers have crossed swords in a game of base ball, let the same parties participate in a three hours' go-as-you please walking contest, on Saturday afternoon a week or two hence, the losing party paying for a royal oyster supper. Who'll vote aye I Our Henderson township farmer friend, Mr. John Nightwine, informs us that he will have several hundred bushels of hand-picked winter apples to sell this season. Mr. Nightwine has some of the best fruit that grows, and he al ways finds ready sale for it among lovers of choice varieties. To prevent accident, that sign nailed to the south end of the wooden awning next to the Postoffice building, should be fastened a little more secure. A gust of wind will send it whirling and some one will get hurt, all for the want of proper iron fastenings. "Hoop it up, neighbor !" • A young man named Anderson, a resident of Spruce Creek, was found lying close to the track of the P. R. R., at Tyrone, on Sunday morning last, so drunk that be was unable to help himself. The leg of one of his boots was cut off by a passing train. Be had three full bottles of whisky in his pockets. Rev. D. W. Hunter, formerly pastor of the Baptist church in this place, has taken up his residence in Lewistown, and on his first Sun day in that town the members of Co. G. at tended service in full uniform. Rev. Hunter is Chaplain of the Fifth regiment, and this action of Co. G. was eminently proper. The Directors of the Poor met at the Alms [louse, last week, and made the foflowing ap points for the ensuing year : Steward, Jack son Harmon ; physician, Dr. W. P. M'Nite farmer, James Latherow ; undertaker, L. A• Myers; attorney, J. R. Simpson ; clerk, G. W. Whittaker. A treasurer will be chosen at the next meeting of the Board. Wm. Aurandt, a track band on the Middle Division of the P. R. R., was instantly killed, on Saturday last, near Vineyard Mills, by be ing run over by the cars, the wheels cutting the top of his head off. The unfortunate man had been employed but three days previously. He leaves a wife and ,two children to mourn his sudden and terrible death. Miss Lettia Saxton, of our town, in attempt ing to cross a fence on the land of the Messrs. Coldetock, on the hill back of this borough, on Wednesday forenoon, fell and broke her left arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Her escort, Mr. James Miller, assisted her to the residence of Judge Miller, when the frac ture was reduced, and the fair patient is get ting along finely. An immense apple raised on the farm of Mr. Samuel Lehman, near Warriorsmark, was shown us on Friday ast, of the variety known as the "Herbert Nonesuch." It measured 15} inches in circumference and weighed 24f ounces. It is the "boss" apple of the season, and really looked huge. As to its quality we cannot speak, not being permitted to test it. —Tyrone Donocrat. Rev. Richard Hinkle preached a rousing sermon to young men, and, for that matter to old ones too, in the Methodist Church, on Sunday evening last. His theme was "Souna Religious Principle—the Sure Foundation in the Start of Life," and was ably handled by the reverend gentleman. It is to he hoped that those who heard it will profit by the words of wisdom spoken. The Greensburg Argus office was broken into Tuesday night of last week, and the safe robbed of $lOO in money. There ate two wonders connected with this robbery, one is why any one should enter a printing office to steal, and the other and greatest is how a printer could scrape together $lOO. They have no business to have so much wealth piled away in their safe. Representative Gilliland, of BLir county, perambulated the streets of "ye ancient bor ough" on Friday last, under the guidance of Brother Crawford of the Monitor. Don't know whether he went out to look at the reservoir and penitentiary site or not, but :.s lie came near having the "caniption fits" over the peni tentiary appropriation last winter, he should have done so by all means. A short time ago, a man and his son from the country stopped in front of Gil. Green berg's establishment, where a large bunch of bananas was banging, and after scrutinizing them for a long time, the old gentleman re marked, "Well, my son, I have lived a long time, and that is the largest bunch of sweet potatoes I ever saw," and then passed on to take in the other sights of the town. Bair, on Penn street, in the Diamond, is doing a large trade in stoves, and the reason is that he sells them lower than any other dealer. If any reader of the JOURNAL is in want of a stove for either heating or cooking purposes, we recommend them to our friend Bair, assuring them that he will give them satisfaction both in quality and in price. Don't forget the place, at Buchanan's old stand. in the diamond. An old man, who appeared to have reached three score and ten, wiss staggering about on Allegheny street, on Saturday afternoon, so drunk that he was utterly helpless, and had it not been for the kind treatment of a gentle man, who took bold of biro and started him up au alley leading from that street, he certainly would have been injured by the cars. In his case a provision of the license law was cer tainly violated. "Enter the back door of the ear, leave by the front door ;" "keep your seats till the train stops ;" "don't put your head, arms or legs out of the window ;" "show your ticket at the gate ;" "don't stand on the platform ;" "look oat for the locomotive ;" etc., is the way the railroad men put it now days. What are kris cowing to ? Is this not a free caun• try ? Are these railroad maryttes to go On dcyisinn these little dev 4 ees to pre.. - e7:t a free and, enlightened community from ri, - ,%ing its life at its own sweet wiii ? The liattotu if the penitenthiry reservoir 111: been completed by being grouted and ce mented, and the \voter was let into it one day last week. It presents a beautiful appearance, :nut the volume of water is sullieleat, even during this remarkably dry season, to supply two or three institutions of the kind for which it is intended. The citizens of our town now e the tnitake that was nrule in not having this water brought to Huntingdon years ago. It could have been done for a mere song ; but it is now too late. and like the boy who dropped his jug, "there is no use crying over spilled milk." We had the pleasure of grasping the hand of our fast friend, T. M. Conprobst, esq., of Chicago, one day last week, who is here for the purpose of visiting his aged and sick fath er. On Monday night our friend delivered an eloquent and telling temperance address in Penn Street Hall, which was listened to by a large. attentive and intelligent audience. The demands of business will not permit Mr. C. making an extended visit,which is regretted by his many friends hereaways. lie enjoys ex cellent health, is as handsome as ever, and looks as sleck as a young lion. Long and success to hint. At the session of the Presbytery of Hun tingdon, held at McVeytown last week, action was taken looking to an annual reunion of the Presbytery. A cormitittee was appointed, with Rev. J. 11. Mat hers :IS Chairnian and Rev. A. Nelson Hollilield. Secretary. th motioc, it was resolved to hold a reunion of Presby tery during the summer or fall of 1880, and the following gentlemen were Appointed an Executive Committee to carry into elft!ct this purpose at such time anti place as they may choose. Rec. J. H. Mathers, A. Nelson 5.,11. Moore, 1). 1)., lion. 11. G. Fisher, General Jllme% .1. Beaver. We find this floating about on tae sea of newspaperdom, and publish it for the benefit of our lady readers : Lamp shades made of autumn leaves are very beautiful. To make them, cut the shade from stiff white paper. when the leaves—which have been previously dried and pressed—are arranged in a teat wreath and fastened down by gum. ° lt is then covered with a very coarse net, and the edges bound with gilt or colored paper. The elf.!ct of the ligl,t shinin , * through the simile is only Ihe cheap decorations winch :all persons po 4- SeiSed of a little taste and ordinarily fingers can make for themselves. A stubborn beef gave Port's force consid erable trouble last week. The animal was purchased about three miles from town, and drove nicely to within one mile of home, when it laid down in the road, and no amount of coaxing, whipping, etc., could induce it to move. For three days it was master of the situation. On Friday mornin g Mr. Port and his butcher drove out for t he purpose of slaughtering the animal in case he still re fused to drive, and when they hove in sight they discovered the steer was up eating grass, but as soon as the butcher went toward him down he went and assumed his former stub born disposition. They proceeded to butcher him, and when dressed weighed some six hundred pounds. A MISUNDERSTANDING, ONLY THAT Alen NOTHING MORE.-The members of Com pany 11, of the Fifth Regiment, commanded by Capt. Guthrie, accompanied by Jule Nefrs Altoona Cornet Band, visited Bedford on Fri day of last week for the purpose of being present at the veterans' re-union held in that town on that day. It is an Altoona organ ization, and the excursionists left that city at 5 A. at., on Friday, in a special train, arriving in this place in due time. Superintendent Gage had agreed to take them to Mt. Dallas, the terminus of his road, on the special train, at one dollar per head, and return them free on the regular passenger train, but upon their arrival here he generously extended the court esy of free transportation to the bond, twenty four members, and instead of - charging $55 be only charged $3l, one dollar for each member of the company, which WAS satisfac factory to all concerned, and which displayed great liberality on the part of Superintendent Gage. On Friday night Superintendent Gage received a telegram from Superintendent Smith, of the Bedford Division, telling him that he would return the company on a spe cial train to Mt. Dallas at 10:25 Y. M. Mr. Gage sent word back that be would bring the company back to Huntingdon, upon a special train from Mt. Dallas, at any time they de sired, for the sum of $56. This information was given to Capt. Guthrie, and Mr. Corbin, the conductor, received orders to hook his en i gine to the special upon its arrival at Mt. Dalas,but to not move until the $56 were paid. Upon the arrival of the train Conductor Cor bin carried out his instructions, hooked to it and demanded the money before he would pull out. Capt. Guthrie refused to plank down the rhino, and as Mr. Corbin alleges detailed six of his command to take charge of the en gine and-rutt the train to Huntingdon. Mr. Gage was notified of the situation, when be promptly gave orders to his conductor not to move his train until the coal trains had arri ved at Mt. Dallas, and as it is not considered safe for two trains to attempt to pass each other on a s!ngle track the soldier-railroaders concluded to give up the idea of "pushing things." Conductor Corbin ran the special on to a side track, detached his engine and housed it for the night, and the roger boys, finding that they were unable to force their way through, turned into their "little beds," made out of cushions, etc. Next morning they boarded the regular train, and when they reached Saxton Capt. Guthrie and one of his men were arrested and held to bail in the sum of $lOO.OO for their appearance at the Decem ber sessions of the Bedford county court to answer the charge of attempting to take forci ble possession of the train. They landed in this place about half-past one on Saturday afternoon, and after fixing their toilets and a rest of an hour or two, treated our citi zens to a short street parade. They are a fine looking body of men, and while here behaved themselves in a becoming and gentlemanly manner. We are sorry that the difficulty re• fered to occurred, and had Capt. Guthrie thought for a moment, and distinguished the regular train from the special it would not have occurred ; but there was a tuisunder standing, only that and nothing more. CLIPPINGS We clip the following items frum the Mt. Union Times of last week : The employes of the East Broad Top R. R. Co., and the Rocktill Iron and Coal Co., have received an advance of ten per cent. in their wages, dating from the first of this month. This makes the second advance (for laborers) within the last four months. The Rockhill Furnace will receive four beat loads, two hundred and forty tons of coal per week from now until the close of navigat'on on the canal, to be unloaded by the old Mc- Laughlin warehouse where a large craine has been erected to unload it upon wagons to be conveyed to the E. B. T. R. yard and shipped thence to Rockhill. Rev. Hollifield gave the Brady township farmers some advice regarding the reading of newspapers and good books and making home pleasant and attractive and keeping the boys at home that might be followed with profit by other people besides farmers. Especially in small towns where boys get together and en gage in all manner of mischief would it be well to keep them at home. Samuel M. Lane, of Beaver county, a native of this county, is visiting friends in the Long Hollow. With him is his cousin Samuel M. Lane of California, who had left Freeport, Pa., for the far west twenty-seven years ago and was never east since until now. His friends had supposed him dead, not having heard from him for more than a decade, until his brother James T. Lane, esq., of Davenport, lowa, accidentlly met him while stopping at the same hotel in San Francisco last summer. The fall meeting of the Huntingdon Pres bytery was appointed for Oct., 7 at McVey town. And the 3lcVeytown people got ready for that Presbytery. They got a steer on Sat urday last that weighed 3250 pounds. It was 5 years old and was raised by a Mr. Shoop, of Tuscarora Valley. It was driven over the mountains to Vineyard Mills, loaded on a flat at Cowden's and taken to McVeytown on Sat urday last, ready to be butcheret on Monday. Presbyterian preachers must be aw ful eaters. A WisE DEAcoN.—''Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family well the past season, when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have had the doctors visiting us so often." 'Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time ; kept my family well and saved the doctor bills. Three dollars' worth of it kept us well and able to work all the time. I'll warrant it has cost you and the neighbors one or two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the same time." "Deacon, I'll use your medicine hereafter." Oct. 17-2 t. To THE LATHES.—Miss Ellie Foley and Miss Alice Nolan, of Bellefonte, have opened DRESS MAKING in the Morrison House, on Railroad street. Sewing of all kind solicited and satisfaction guaranteed. 10 2t. STIN .IN lun r hytery of Ilnot c•lutrcl.] of .\1( their lialli :Attendance. opt..!titt , .: sermon w, I.: pri ached by Ilov.

THAT GAME OP BASE BA Ll, Tiw Disciples of Faust "Gobble Up - the o:gar Nu kers.—On Saturday noon last, the printers of the different offices of this place forsook their sticks and rules, and the eigarmakers their work benches, and hied themselves to the playground south east of the Brethren's Nor mat College building, in West Huntingdon, to indulge in a bout of the National Game, yclept Base Ball. At about 2:20 the preliminaries were all arranges! and the "toby" makers were called to the bats, and the play began. The playing at fir,t was hard work,ou account of no practice, and at the end of the third inning it was all one sided, the "prints" leading their antagonists 3 to 1, but here the printers be came so elated over their success that they created a dissension in their own nine, of which the "tobies" took advantage of and ran their score up to nearly a tie. Front this in ning out the game stood nearly equal until the cigar men played their ninth inning when they scored two ahead of the "comps." After the printers had played their ninth inning a short time, the tally list showed them 18 ahead and only one man out, and as the hour was esrawin,g nearly six o'clock, they conclu ded that they bad earned their suppers and unanimously gave up the game on its own merits, without playing their inning oat. The score is as follows : eIGARMIZEIIs. O. U. PIIINTEDS. 0. U. Spittle, c 3 4 Focht, r I (G/ohe) 4 5 Fleming, p it 7 Gray.

To say that the playing was tine would be putting it mildly, as some of the participants played and sweated as they never played and sweated before, and the running of bases was very hefty indeed. Ye, gods, how some of them made the dust fiy, and when they put down their pedal extremities to make a base they started off like a race horse, and arriving at home-base they panted like 4 fox hound after a bard day's chase, and it is not to be wondered at that the pencil shover of the Moni tor had the seat of his unmentionables and the banisters of his domicile greased so that he could slide down in time to be on hands for breakfast on Sunday morning, when be gave his opinion of bass ball in general and this game in particular, whilst he nursed his aching bones, or as one other participant re marked that he "felt like an old man of 80, for every joint was stiff." However, all hands were at their places Monday morning, as bright as if no game was played. The batting was splendid, some of which would make a pro fessional look to his laurels. Good order was general, and it is to be hoped that the cigar makers will tackle the "comps" again. The victorious nine think seriously of-challeng ing the Athletics of Philadelphia. Time of game—about three hours. A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.—Darino• the past week Street Commissioner Miller has made a good road leading from the western side or the Fourth street river bridge to the towing path, which improves the appearance of things in that locality very much. The road was made for the purpose of getting the fire engine to the water in case a tire should occur in close proximity to the canal on the eastern side of the bridge. If a lire were to break out there the heat would be so great at any point where the engine could lie stood, that it would be impossible for the fire men to labor at it, but with this new road they will be able to stand the engine in a po sition where the heat will hot ett,ct them and do effective work if that part of our town is ever visited by tire. In addition to this the building of the road cleared away the large pile of debris lying at that point, which was becoming an eye-sore to all who had occasion to pass over river bridge. Now that it has been disposed of, Council should give notice that hereafter no rubbish will be permitted to be thrown there.

El Yankee's 'lnc. Gentlemen of the Tower Hall, I have a word to say: I got a paper t'other night From Phil-a-del-phi-a. And there I saw it all in print, That I once made a call And got a brand-new suit of clothes At famous Tower Hall. Your customers may laugh, perhaps, (Without a doubt they will,) That I mistook the Tower Hall, And thought 'twas Bunker Hill. But then, you know, the saying is That "those who win may laugh ;" And in the trumps, I think, I hold The better hand by half. Before I went to Tower Hall, They called me "Ragged Mose;" My hat, and boots, and prospects wire As ragged as my clothes But now, along the Kennebec, You'll find, if you inquire. That he who once was "Ragged Mose," Is Moses Jones, Esquire. I'll tell you how it came about— The luck that did befall— Fur it was owing to the suit 1 bou4ht at Tower Hail. The "Sally Ann" arrived in port, Down on the Kennebec; The captain's daughter catne on board, And stood upon the deck. Her eyes were like the stars of night, Her cheeks the rosy morn; She was a buxom Yankee girl, That hail been fed on corn. To Captain Pinkham first she spoke, Sweet as the jewsharp's tones, And then her dark bewitching eyes Were fixed on Moses Jones. She cried, "Oh, father, can it bo That this is 'Ragged Mose?' Why, he is for a suitor fit, In such a suit of clothes." The long and short of it is this: I Ms& of her my bride; I have a "Sally Ann" on shore, And one upon the tide. I alio hive my children's clothes— A pretty urgent call ; My oldek boy is Tower Jones, His middle name is Hall. And now, along the Kennebec, 'Tis known by one and all, That 'Squire Jones owes all hie luck To FAMOUS TOWER HALL.
