A terrible freight wreck occurred near Kit
tanning Point, about 2 o'clock on Friday
morning, occasioned by the parting of a train
and the rear section running into the first one,
by which two brakeman, named J. C. Cook
and Jno. A. Mc'Dowell, lost their lives. M'-

striking some heavy timbers. He was released
as soon as possible, but his death occurred
soon after.
Thomas C. Fisher, esq., purchased the M.
S. Lytle property. from the BalhUn! , :vitt L , an
Association, for which he paid the sum of
2,000. The property is situated on a high
bluff on the outskirts of town, ettmluandin4 a
fine view of the town and its surrountlieg ,
Mr. Fisher has a bargain.
It is stated that the general deci,ion of all
Courts has been to the effect that the owner of
an adjoining property may cut otr the branches
hanging over his land, and may des; ray the
roots running into it : but that N all. Ile
cannot claim the fruit on :la overlkati!ling
branch, not even when it Valk oil' ou his
property ; but the owner of the true has a
right to gather it.
W. G. Waring esti., the able stenographer
for the Courts in this Judicial district, who
spent several weeks in the mining regions of
Colorado, is home a•;•ain, and at his post of
ditty during the sittings of the present Court.
Mr. Waring is highly pleased with the country
and the people in that land towards the set
ting sun, and it is his intention to again visit
it in the near future.
Mr. Kelley, who has the contract for the
grading of the grounds and building of the
foundation walls of the new penitentiary, is
pushing the work along rapidly. It is his de
sire to complete the walls before mid-winter,
which he can do if the weather continues favor
able, but the grading, of which there is an
immense amount, will not be all done before
some time next year. The walls arc first
class, both as regards material and workman
ship.
Our friend, H. Runty], esq., a the Old-E3-
tablished Clothing House, in the Diamond,
having concluded to remain in Huntingdon,
has just replenished his stock with a large as
sortment of fashionable and seasonable goods,
which he is prepared to sell at prices unheard
of in this neck o' woods. Ilis reputation, as
a fair dealer, is known far and wide, and his
many friends and patrons will he glad to learn
that he has stocked his establishment with
the best and nobbiest clothing to be found in
tht,i eastcrt, markets. Go and see him.
An old man fell dead up the country, one
Sunday night recently, while sitting in the
parlor where his daughter and her young man
were sparking. It may he that the conduct
of the young couple biekened the old man and
caused his death, but it will do no harm, and
perhaps much good, to cut this paragraph out
and show it to the old folks who are addicted
to sticking in the parlor on Sunday evenings
when their daughter's beau wants to tell tier
a great many secrets, etc.
There is a fellow named L. Lunn Smith, at
717 Sansom street, Philadelphia, who has
more cheek than a Government mule. We
received a printed circular from L. Lunn, the.
other day, in which he proposed to give us a
copy of one of the monthly magazines, costing
at retail, 35 cents, in payment for the insertion
of a7i inch advertisement. He says that, al
ready some 2,000 editors have accepted his
proposition, and if he tells the truth—which
we very much doubt—there are just "about
2,000" more fools in the country than we
thought there were. L. Lunn Smith will have
to try some other print shop with his cheeky
proposition.
The Altoona Tribune has a potato which
weighed four and a half pounds when taken
from the ground, and at present weighs four
and a quarter pounds, which is considerable
of a curiosity in the tuber line, and in a de
scription of it that paper says that this potato
stands—or sits, if you please—just ten and a
half inches in heighth. While its legs are
lost in a big ball where the legs ought to be,
at the first glance a person would detect a
strong resemblance to a monkey. Then again
it would be similar to a kangaroo in some
respects, the short fore-legs of the animal
being represented by two bunches of potato
which have grown out at the shoulders.
A swindle is being practiced on farmers in
certain localities, as follows : "A sleek fel
low calls at a farm house for dinner, and on
payment for it asks the host to sign a receipt
—so he can show his employers what the ex
penses have been. The receipt is prepared in
such a way that the signature is made on a
paper underneath the thin paper on which it
is written, and that on the lower sheet of paper
is a note for a hundred dollars or some such
matter, which the swindler sells before he gets
out of the neighbortood ; and thus a piece of
thin transfer paper, and that principle of law
which holds the innocent purchaser harmless,
arc used to deceive very successfully. Farmers
should sign nothing presented to them by a
stranger.—Ex.
On Friday evening last, between 8 and 9
o'clock, some person stole several articles of
clothing from the front of Samuel March's
clothing store. Sammy displays his clothing
on a couple of "dummies," which he stands
in front of his store, and it was from these
that the clothing was taken. One of the
"dummies" was rigged out in a coat, pants,
vest, ulster, and seal skin cap, and the other
one with overcoat and slouch hat, all of which
was taken. One of the "dummies" was
stripped in front of the store, and the other
was carried to the alley close by the store,
where it was relieved of its covering. Sam
my's loss will foot up about $2B or $3O. It
was the boldest piece of rascality of the sea
son, and must have been perpetrated by ex
perts, for we think that no novice in the busi
ness would have had the nerve to do such an
act in the early evening and on the most
public thoroughfare of the town.
For the last three mouths we hare been
publishing an advertisement for the New York
Furnishing Company, 421 Broadway, in which
they offered to sell a first-class shirt for the
low price of $7.50 per dozen. Within the past
week we have come in possession of informa•
tion which satisfies us that this company (?)
is a fraud of the first water, and we advise the
readers of the JOURNAL to steer clear of it.—
Through the advertisement in our paper a
dealer in this place was led to send for a
dozen of their shirts, and after a couple of
weeks delay the shirts were received, but
such shirts ! A whole car load of them would
not be worth $7.50. We are sorry if any
other reader of theJocaxAL has been swindled
by this swindling concern. The scamps who
are running the "company" (?) have advertised
it extensively, and every publisher who in
serted their advertisement has been swindled
out of three months pay, and the sharpers are
trying their level best to "set it up" on news
paper men for three months more gratuitous
advertising. But we won't take the bait.
MAIMED FOR LIFE.—ANOTHER PLEA
FOR TESIPERAXCE.-About six o'clock en Fri
day evening last, a young man named W. E.
Port, while walking on the track, in the vicin
ity of the viaduct crossing Stone Creek, was
struck by the engine of an eastward bound
freight train, and received irjurics which will
render him helpless for life. His left leg and
right foot were crushed S 3 terribly that am
putation was imperative, the former of which
was taken off between the knee and ankle and
the latter at the instep. The unfortunate man
resides at Warrior Ridge Station, three miles
west of this place, where he made rather a
poor living for his wife and four little chil
dren by fishing and peddling sassafras and
horseradish in season, He was in the habit
of drinking more or less every time be came
to town, and when he met with this terrible
accident he was under the influence of liquor.
Had he been a sober man, he would not to
day be languishing on a bed of pain, from
which he will arise a cripple for life, unfitted
to supply the wants of those dependent upon
him for support.
MORE OF RI: WORK.—On Saturday last,
Wm. B. Koon, of Duncansville, Blair county,
visited Hollidaysburg, and while in that place
drank to excess and became intoxicated. In
the evening he started to walk home on the
railroad, but bad not proceeded far before he
lay down to sleep off the effects of his de
bauch, and in doing so he laid his bead on
one of the rails. The passenger train on that
branch of the road came along a short time
after, ran over the unfortunate man, almost
severing his head from his body, cutting off
his legs and arms. and grinding his body into
a shapeless mass. The deceased leaves a wife
and three children to ioouru his terrible death.
These accidents are a stronger plea for
temperance than anything that could he said
or written.
HUMBUGGED AGAIN.—I saw so much
said about the merits of flop Bitters, and my
wife who was always doctoring, and never
well, teased me so urgently to get her some,
1 concluded to be humbugged again ; and I
:int glad 1 did, for in less than two months use
of the Bitters my wife wag cured and she has
remained so for eighteen months since. I
like such humbugging.—H. T., St. Paul.

COURT PROCE: , :DINUS.—After the usual
preliminary proceedings, the following cases
were disposed of in Court this week, up to
the time of going to press :
Commonwealth vs. Scott S. Stairs. This
was the first ease tried on Monday afternoon.
It was an indictment for fornication and bas
tardy, upon the oath of Miss Emma l'onrnd,
and hos been continued over since last Aprii.
Verdict guilty.
IV. Dickey & Co. w Jno. Garman and
wife. An action of debt, in which Itickey
Co. seek to recover against the reparate estate
of Mrs. Grrnian :t balance of n:arly it'2oo
groceries, tic., furnished to defendants at
Houtzdale, while they kept a boarding house.
Carman having failed once in business in Ju
niata county, conducted his boarding busi
ness in Houtzdale in the name of F. L. Gar
man, (his wife's name being Flora), and fail
ing again in Houtzlit!e he removed to Hun
tingdon county-, since when Mrs. Garman has
come info possession of real estate; and the
plaintiffs alleged that she became personally
responsible in Houtzdale for the goods fur
nished to Garman. The Court held that Mrs.
Garman could only be held liable for neces
saries for the use of the family, of her hus
band and herself,which she herself contracted
to purchase, or had purchased by her orders;
that subsequent ratification by her of pur
'chases made by her husband could not render
her responsible ; and that supplies for a
boarding house could not be construed to
come within the meaning of "necessaries."
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs
against the wife for $195.84.
Commonwealth vs. David Butler and Laura
Butler. The trial of this occupied the
most of Tuesday morning. 1 t was an indict
ment for forcib!e entry and detainer. In 1864
Wm. P. Orbison brought an action of eject
ment against John Butler, to recover posses
sion of some 400 acres of land, situate upon
the top of Jack's ,Mountain, in Cromwell
township, upon which Butler was residing
with his wife Laura and family—David being
one of the sons. Pending the litigation, Or
bison sold to Geo. A. Parks, the prosecutor
in this case. Last year John Butler confess
ed judgment to Parks, who then obtained a
writ of habere facial posse.ysionem, under which
the Sheriff placed him in possession, ejecting
Butler's family. Butler, it appears, deserted
his family about the time he confessed judg
ment to Parks, and Mrs. Butler and her chil
dren !made a determined struggle to retain
the possession which they believed was their
right after 17 years occupancy, and it was
not long after they were ousted until they
regained possession of the house, hence this
prosecution. The defense relied upon the
entry not being forcible ; that the door of the
house being fastened with a button, which
was heavier at one end than the other, upon
their pulling the door tight to the jamb the
button revolved and the door was open. The
Court held that this did not relieve the act
from being unlawful, and the defendants were
convicted. They did not select the proper
forum in which to try their land titles.
Commonwealth vs. Ephraim Yingling. This
was an indictment for assault and battery, in
which the defendant, a man nearly 60 years
of age, was charged with enticing a little
daughter of his sister's, Mrs. Rachel Bollinger,
into his own barn and making as indecent
assault upon her. The trial occupied the
whole of Tuesday afternoon, and involved a
great mass of contradictory details. The de
fense is based upon the blackmail theory,
tending to show which a great deal of testi
mony was adduced. The jury returned a ver
dict of "not guilty," and divided the costs
equally between the prosecutrix, Rachel Bol
linger, and the defendant, Ephraim Yingling.
Commonwealth vs. B. F. Clark. This was
an action for assault and battery, brought by
the wife of the defendant, who testified that
at various times within the past two years her
lawful lord laid violent hands upon her
person. There was some contradictory swear
ing by the plaintiff and the defendant, each
trying to present as good a case as possible.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the
Court sentenced Benjamin to pay a fine ofslo,
the costs of prosecution, and undergo an im
prisonment of sixty days.
Commonwealth - vs. - Robert Yocum. The
prosecutor in this case was Martin Luther
Rex, who alleged that Mr. Yocum committed
an assau!t upon him. The jury so believed,
found him guilty, and the Court sentenced
him to pay a fine of $5O and the costs of pros
ecution.
SHOOTING MATCH.—On Wednlsday,
26th inst., a shooting match which will be
under the supervision of Col. John S. Miller,
Andrew Decker and Isaac Long, will come off
in this place. A number of prizes will be con
tested for, the first prize being a patent-muz
zle target rifle, valued at $75. It is a beau
tiful piece and a first•class shooter from 100
to 1,000 yards. The second prize is $4O cash ;
third, $25 and the fourth $lO. This match
has been gotten up simply to settle the ques
tion as to who is the best marksman in Hun
tingdon and adjoining counties, and it is to
be hoped that there will be a fair representa
tion of the best marksmen far and near. Cam
bria and Blair county have some elegant
"shootists," who will most likely be present.
The gun mentioned for the first prize, is worth
contesting for. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to all marksmen. We give below the
CONDITIONS OF THE MATCH
Ist. Distance, for off-hand shooters, 100
yards; and for those preferring to shoot with
a rest, 150 yards.
2d. No restrictions as to weight or kind of
rifles, nor as to sights; except to exclude tel
escope:..
3d. Match to consist of 5 shot, strings, to be
measured from a given centre, which must be
designated by a cross (X) before the firing
begins.
4th. Tickets one dollar each. Each ticket
entitles the holder to make one string of 5
shots.
The holder of a ticket may shoot the string
himself or select another person to do the
shooting ; provided, however, that no one per
son shall shoot more than 5 strings.
The best string either distance wins first
prize ; and so of the next three in their order
of merit.
Judges to be chosen by the marksmen on
the grounds and their awards to be final.
Each marksman to provide his own Rests
and Targets ; no restrictions as to size or form
of Target.
All money received as entrance fee will be
distributed in prizes. The rise will be a free
gift.—.lknitor.
GARY'S MAGNETIC RAILROAD SIGNAL
—IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.—On Saturday
afternoon last we had the pleasure of witness
ing the practical working of Mr. Gary's mag
netic raiiroid signal, one of which had been
put up at Henry & Co.'s crossing on that
morning for the purpose of testing its utility,
and the experiment was highly satisfactory to
all who witnessed it. •The signal is simply a
bell—this one quite small, but any sized bell
can be used—the hammer of which is operated
by electricity, generated by one of Gary's
magnetic machines, without the aid of a bat
tery. The alarm bell iu this instance was
connected by wire to a magnetic machine
thirteen hundred feet distant, which was so
arranged near the track that the wheels of
each car passed over a piece of iron or lever,
and every time that the iron or lever was
touched the signal was sounded, thus giving
warning of the approaching train. The dis
tance can be increased or lessened, as desired,
without in any way interfering with the work
ing of the machine. Mr. Gary is well pleased
with the success which attended the erection
of this, his first magnetic signal, and he has
just cause to be elated, for without doubt it is
the best and cheapest signal ever presented
to the public, and its superior excellence over
all others is bound to bring it into general use,
and ere long one of "Gary's magnetic signals"
will be found at every dangerous railroad
crossing in this and other lands.
A SMASH UP ON THE RAIL.—On Mon
day forenoon, when the eastern bound Union
freights were passing through this place, one
of the couplings broke and detached a number
of cars from the train,and another train, which
was following closely, ran into the detached
cars, demolishing the "caboose" and wreck
ing a car ladened with crude coal oil, some
six or seven barrels of which were smashed
and their contents spilled upon the track.
The engine was considerably damaged, the
smoke-stack, head light, cow catcher and
other figings on its front being entirely torn
away. Fortunately there was no one in the
"caboose" at the time of the collision, and
the engineer and fireman, when they discov
ered that they could not prevent the colli
ding of the trains jumped from the engine, and
escaped without injury. In a gutter at the
side of the track, the coal oil had gathered to
the depth of three or four inches, and it was
feared that a spark from the ash-pan of the
disabled engine might ignite it, but great
care was exercised in drawing the fire and
this danger was averted. The wreck was soon
cleared away, add as the track was not dam
aged trains were passing half an hour after the
accident. A hundred or more sight-seers lined
the railroad tracks in the vicinity of the
wreck.

WONDERS OF MECHANISM.—A few
weeks ago the Altoona Tribune published the
following description of a curious and costly
clock, the property of Mr. Adam Gable of
that city :
This curiosity stands nine feet high, is three
feet wide and weighs fire hundred and forty
pounds. It was brought to this country from
Germany five years ago, and Mr. Gable first
ol,s , rved it at Allegheny City, where it was
in the ti:)ssession of a German who wanted to
sell it to enable him to return to "fatherland."
It co.l the German originally $5OO, and was
built t Joseph Fridle at Schwartzw•eld, Ger
many. Mr. Gable obtained the clock at a sac
rifice, paying $l5O for it. The music is pro
duced by winding it at the left side, which
sets the machinery to moving a large roller
placed in the box of the clock, on which are
the notes to furnish nine different airs. There
are four of these rollers, and the total num•
ber of airs the clock will perform is thirty
six. There has been considerable ingenuity
displayed in the clock's construction, as there
are a number of figures, which can be seen
through the glass door perched on two sepa
rate shelves, which keep time to the music.
A party of dancers on one shelf indulge in the
waltz's giddy whirl while the music proceeds,
and one of the dancers frequently stops and
"pats" to the air that is being rendered. On
this shelf are also represented many industri
al occupations, and while the dancers are en
joying themselves as well as automatons can
the automaton mechanics are busily employ
ed at their work, the weaver, the cooper, the
scissors-grinder and the wood-chopper being
noticeable. The German maker of the clock
of course would not forget to advertise the
national beverage, and a jolly party are seen
enjoying themselves drinking beer. On an
other shelf the angel Gabriel is about to
startle the wicked world with the last trump
on his born and an old lady is seen spinning
and another old lady is grinding coffee, evi
dently not caring a cuss whether Gabriel toots
or not and appearing very much unconcerned
about the impending destruction of things
sublunary. Performing birds of rare plumage
lend variety to the scene. Lower down is the
dial, around which are the pictures of a group
of noted personages—Christoper Columbus
(whom it has recently been asserted did not
discover America), General George Washing
ton and General Nathanial Greene, of revolu
tionary fame. The keen German manufac
turer had evidently prepared this clock for
the American market. Eli Green's photograph
also graces a modest corner. Two pieces of
music are rendered every day five minutes be
fore the hour is struck. Altogether the clock
is a great curiosity and is well worth a visit
to see.
INTERESTING LECTURE.—Rev. W. L.
Jones, of :►lechanicsburg, Pa., entertained a
small but very appreciative audience, in the
Baptist church, on Wednesday evening of last
week, by a lecture on the subject, "My Tramp
Through Mexico," or incidents in the history
of a wayward boy who ran away from home
and enlisted during the war with Mexico, in
1847, consisting of hair breadth escapes and
adventures by sea and by land. As a public
lecturer Mr. Jones seems to be possessed to a
very great degree, of the happy faculty of
telling what he has seen in such a manner as
to make it interesting, his descriptive and
oratorical powers being of the Lighest order,
and his remarks being freely and judiciously
interspersed with moral lessons drawn from
the subject of which he treated, and for the
space of an hour and a half he held his audi
ence literally spell bound, the unanimous
conclusion at the close of the lecture, being
that those who were not present had missed
one of the finest intellectual treats ever offered
in this town without money and without price.

MAIL MATTER AT THE HUNTINGDON
POST OFFICE.-By an order issued from the
Post-Office Department at Washington post
masters throughout the country were com
pelled to count all mail matter originating at
their offices during the first seven days in
November. The following are the figures for
this office :
Number of letters mailed 2,827
Number of postal cards mailed. 1,120
Total first-class
Number of newspapers by publishers... 13,325
Number of transient newspapers, books
and :circulars
Number of packages of merchandise
Total pieces of mail matter 18,703
We see Altoona, and go 5,134 pieces better,
and we are nothing but a "fossilized" country
town at that.
NEW YORK BUTTER MARKET.—In
reporting the market prices for butter, the
New York Tribune, of May 20th, said, "choice
packages to the retail trade reach 19 to 20
cents, but light colored goods are hard to
dispose of, and several lots were thought well
sold at 8 to 10 cents. This stern logic of
dollars and cents is rapidly convincing diary
men that they should use the Perfected Butter
Color made by Wells, Richardson & Co,
Burlington, Vt. It gives the perfect June
color the year round and dairymen that use it
never send light colored goods to market."
Kidney-Wort will cure Kidney and Liver
diseases and worst cases of Piles.
ANSWERS TO MANY CORRESPONDENTS
—ln reply to numerous inquiries from our
readers, concerning the wonderful qualities
of the Great German Remedy, St. Jacob's Oil,
—mentioned in our last issue,—we would
inform them that the article may be obtained
from our retail druggists, or by their aid.
Ask for St. Jacob's Oil, and if the dealer does
not keep it in stock, he will be able to procure
it in a few days from the wholesale houses.
We understand there is already an immediate
demand for the remedy, which is not so very
surprising when it is considered, what it is
daily accomplishing in the way of relief and
cures, bordering, in some instances, on the
miraculous.
THE LAST CHANCE.—As the _lndepen
dent of New York will withdraw all its pre
mium offers Dec. 31st., 1879, only a short time
remains in which any one can get a WORCES
TER'S UNABRIDGED PICTORIAL QUARTO DICTION
ARY (retail price $10) and 3 years' subscrip
tion to the Independent for $9, the price of the
subscription alone.
The Independent claims to, be the largest,
ablest, and best religious newspaper in the
world. It has bought the copyright of Rev.
Joseph Cook's famous Boston Monday Lec
tures and is publishing one each week. To
tell all of its good things would occupy too
much space. See advertisement in this paper. .
A WORLD OF Goon —One of the most
popular medicines now before the American
public, is Hop Bitter.. Yon see it everywhere.
People take it with good effect. It builds

that has done a world of good, If you don't

E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron.
This truly valuable tonic has been so
thoroughly tested by all classes of the com
munity that it is now deemed indispensible
as a tonic medicine. It costs but little, puri•
fies the blood and gives tone to the stomach,
renovates the system and prolongs lite. Every
body should have it. For the cure of weak
stomachs, General Debility, Indigestion, Dis
eases of the Stomach, and for all cases re
quiring a tonic. This wine includes the most
agreeable and efficient Salt of Iron we possess
—Citrate of Magnetic Oxide, combined with
the most energetic ofvegetable tonics—Yellw,v
Peruvian Bark.

If you do try Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron.
I only ask a trial of this valuable toni'.
Beware of counterfeits, as Kunkel's Bitter
Wine of Iron is the only sure and efficient
remedy in the known world for the permanent
cure of Dyspepsia and Debility and as there
are a number of imitations offered to the

purchase none but the genniae article, manu
factured by E. F. Kunkel, and having his
stamp on the cork of every bottle. The very
fact that others are attempting to imitate this
valuable remedy proves its worth and speaks
volumes in its favor. Sold only in $1 bottles

cine and be convinced of its merits. Sold by
