An unusual araount of drunkenness was prevalent on Thanksgiving day and away on far into the night. Saturday last wits a disagreeable day, in terspersed with all kinds of weather, snow, rain, sunshine and storm. Some uncaged scoundrel poisoned three fat hogs. a few nights ago. belonging to a poor laboring man in Harrisburg. Adam Heffner has purchased a tract of land adjoining the Spanogle farm, in Shirley town ship, for the sum of $2,000. On Monday next, Dec. Bth, the Jubilee or Feast of the Immaculate Conception will be solemnized by Catholics all over the world. Old Santa Claus has made all necessary ar rangements for establishing his headquarters at the JOURNAL Store during the holiday sea son. "My child was affected in the same manner as yours, Mrs. B. and Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup gave it almost immediate relief; I would surely give it a trial." Union Thanksgiving services were hold in the German Reform church, and were largely attended. Rev. Hay, of the Lutheran church, preached the sermon. Brother Willoughby, of the _News, is the happiest editor in town just now, and his good humor is occasioned by the arrival of a new boy baby at his home. Our farmer friend, Logan, was plowing ou Thanksgiving day in his one of his river bot tom fields. Something unusual in this lati tude at the tail-end of November. Our Councilmen have received an invitation to participate in the Grant reception, in Har risburg, on the 15th inst. We are unable to say- whether they will accept or not. The Rev. Alfred J. Barrows, of Brahlilyn, will hold services and preach in the St. John's church, in this place, on Sunday evening Dec. 7th, at 7 o'clock. All are cordially invited. Henry & Co. were compelled to take down a portion of the wall of their engine house for the purpose of getting the balance wheel of their engine into the building. It's a huge affair. The iarge tannery and dwelling house, be longing to the Lupfer estate, about one mile from Shade Gap, this county, were destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning. We have no par ticulars. Wm. R. Plummer, a niNhtwatchman and police officer of the P. IL H. at Tyrone, was instantly killed, on Tuesday morning of last week, by being struck by the engine hauling the Mail Express west. Altoona sports have made arrangements to have Arthur Chambers and Billy Edwards, the champion lightweight bruisers, give a sparring exhibition in the Opera House in that city on Saturday evening the 13th inst. We are indebted to some unknown friend for a fine specimen of gold bearing ore from the famous "Bob-Tail mine," Black Hawk City, Col. The specimen is rich with the precious metal, but who sends it is a mystery to us. We understand that the colored school, under the instruction of Mr. S. C. Peightal, is making rapid progress. That Mr. Peightal is a good disciplinarian is evidenced by the good conduct of his pupils on their w: y to and from their studies. Huntingdon ought to have a walking match. Can't arrangements be made for one during holiday week ? We have some good "pods" in this place who would cheerfully step upon the tan-bark if a match can be got up. Some body move in the matter. Our very clever friend, C. L. Bouslough, esq., of Porter township, dropped into the JOURNAL sanctum, on Saturday afternoon, and made glad the heart of ye printer by his kind remembrance of him. We wish all our patrons were men like Mr. Bouslough. In a late number of the Carlisle Mirror we find the following item referring to one of Huntingdon county's best citizens : "Charles C. Ash, esq., of Huntingdon county, recently purchased a large tract of timber land in Franklin county, and will clear it at once." The Ashton's played Uncle Tom's Cabin, at Mcebus' Ball, on Wednesday night, to a crowded house, and so well did they render it that at times nearly the entire audience found themselves in tears. To-night the same company will play East Lynne at the same place. Mr. Orlando Kelsey, of Philadelphia, the gentleman who put the heating apparatus into our new school building, has been awarded the contract for similarly fitting Johnstown's new school house. lie did a most elegant job for us, and we have no doubt he will do the same for Johnstown. The German Reform church building was packed fuller than ever it was before, on Tbauksgiving night, on the occasion of the entertainment given by the Children's Tem perance Union. The exercises were highly interesting, and all concerned acquitted themselves splendidly. An infant child of Benjamin Summers, of Oneida township, was found dead in bed on Tuesday morning of last week. Its parents had arisen at an early hour that morning for the purpose of butchering, and left the babe asleep, and when they returned they found the little one lying on its face with Ill's ex tinct. Jack M'Caban, Will Conrad, and one or tw• others, are off for a week's hunt in Diamond Valley. During their stay they will quarter in one of the wood chopper's caoins built in in that wild region. They are all good shots, and if they succeed in routing any deer they will not come back empty handed. And now our legal friend, M. M. M'Neal, is the man who wears a smile that is child like and bland, and all on account ,of the arrival at the M'Neal mansion, au Friday last, of a new bay baby who kicked the beam to the tune of ten pounds. "Mac" is considerably •elated over the arrival of the little stranger. From Mill Creek we learn that Mrs. W. W. 'lawn, who has been bed-ridden for many months with hip-joint disease, and whose life has been despaired of several times, was the subject of an interesting, and in these parts, unusual operation. I)rs. Ballantyne, McCarthy and Way, after careful examination, resolved to open the joint, which was done successfully on last Friday. Already the good effects are apparent, and the prospects of a complete re covery are encouraging. Within the pact six weeks some person has stolen nine turkeys from Jack Mee:than. Ilis turkeys wander through his fields to a strip of woods known as the "bottom," where, it is more than probable, some of our successful hunters (?) get their wild turkeys. If they happen to be caught in this genteel thieving they will find it pretty expensive before they are clear of it. The Council should adopt some measure, and enforce it, to prevent person: from haul ing swill on the pavements. The pavement on the south side of Washington street, for al most a square, one morning recently, was spattered with the filthiest kind of swill, ren dering the side-walk unfit for use. This kind of thing has got to be a nuisance and it should be abated forthwith. Mrs. Ida Logan, wife of M. M. Logan, and daughter of G. Ashman Ililler, esq., died at her residence, in Henderson township, on Sat urday evening - last, after a brief illness, aged about 28 years. She leaves a husband and four little children, the youngest only one week old. tier remains were interred in this place on Monday afternoon, and were followed to the grave by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. In the twelve hour go-as-you-please pedes trian match, which came off in the Altoona Opera House, on Thanksgiving day, "Fatty" kendig, a young man pulling down the scales to the tune of ninety-six pounds, was the victor, having walked sixty miles and three laps. lie was presented with a belt, a pair of slippers and $3O in money at the close of the contest. There were eight starters but at the close the number had dwindled down to three. We learn from the Mt. onion Times that a Bedford company has arranged to lease the Saltillo Mineral Springs, owned by C. R. 11!Carthy, esq., and will build a large hotel at Saltillo next summer. The Saltillo Springs are among the best in the State, the water being superior to the justly celebrated Bed ford water, and it only requires the building of a first-class hotel, with suitable accommo dations for visitors, to make Saltillo become famous as a summer resort. Mr. D. M. Jones, of Saxton, has received the appointment of railroad policeman on the lluntintdon k Broad Top road. Mr. Jane■ took a conspicuous part at the time the Al toona•military company undertook to run the road contrary to orders, and on that occasion showed that he could and would do his duty as an officer of the law. The appointment is a good one, and now we warn all persons on the road to behave themselves else they will be sent to "Davy Jones' locker."—liedfi)rd Ga zette. A well-to-do farmer in Perry county was splendidly taken in by a brace of sharpers a few weeks ago. lie bought a wind-mill frera the rogues, and then signed a paper which be thought was a contract to act as an agent for the sale of wind-mills iu that county. The paper be signed turned out to be a negotiable note for $3OO, which the men sold to a third party. The wind-mills were forwarded and are now for sale below cost price. If any of the farmer readers of the JOURNAL are ap proached by these dealers in wind-mills, the proper thing for them to do will be to kick them so hard about midship that the wind will be knocked out of them. In New York there is a mania for securing the autographs of distinguished men, and some parties have bees making considerable money by selling bogus autographs. Auto graphs are nice things to have, particularly when they are attached to receipts fur money paid, and just here we say to our delinquent patrons that we will take pleasure in giving them our autograph to receipts for the amounts they owe us if they will only call and plank down the rhino. Unless some of them will soon call and pay us they need not be sur prised when they receive the autograph of 'Squire Murray attached to a summons re questing them to call at his office aed pay their printing hills. The fex hunt advertised for Friday last came off, but not on as large a scale as those having it in charge contemplated. Mr. West brook informs us that about thirty persons were present and participated ; but instead of being able to turn forty or fifty hounds loose there were but fifteen. On account of the rein, which began to fall about 8 o'clock, it was difficult for the dogs to take the track of any foxes that might be out for an airing, but about 11 o'ciock they succeeded in starting two, which they ran for several hours and finally holed in the rocks on Warrior Ridge. Another hunt is on the tapis, which will conic off at an early day on the Stone Creek Ridge, where the dogs will have a better chance to make Reyuard "get up and bunt his hole." The following item from the Franklin Spectator should admonish the boys of our town to be careful when engaged in playing the g - ame which cost this boy ilia life. "Thomas McAlister, of the Third .Ward, was killed in a game of shinny last Wednesday. The par ticulars are as follows : The boys of the Third Ward school were engaged in a garrae of shin ny previous to the call of school on Wednes day morning, and young McAlister and Wil liam Riddle, a lad hailing from Sugarcreek township, started for the shinny block about the same time, but Riddle getting the best of the race, McAlister stooped down to pick the block up, when Riddle struck, hitting McAlis ter on the head, mashing in the bone just back and under the left ear. lie remained uncon scious until 7 o'clock on Wednesday evening, when he breathed his last. That extensively advertised shooting mate' for Wednesday of last week didn't amount to anything. At no time during the day were therea half-dozen marksmen upon the ground, and of this number not more than two or three seemed disposed to take part in the contempluted contest. Those having charge of the match adjourned it over until the next day, Thanksgiving, thinking that it would surely come of then, but they were again doomed to disappointment, only three of lour marksmen putting in an appearance. Quite a large number of spectators who had gone to the ground to see the match came away very much disappointed. Mr. Warner, who was present, ready and anxious to shoot, just be fore leaving the ground, said that he could beat any man in Central Pennsylvania in a rifle match, any distance and for any amount of money. Here is a fine chance for some of the crack shots of Cambria, Clearfield, Blair and our own county to make some money.— We hope sonic one will accept his challenge. The coolest and boldest theft of the season was committed at Carmoa's store on Saturday last. A fellow who spent the greater part of the day loafing about there took it into his head to gobble a large roll of butter from off a plate standing on the counter. While the store was crowded with customers, and the clerks all busy, he pulled a newspaper from his pocket, reached and got the roll of butter, wrapped the paper about it, and then laid it down on the end of the show-case while he walked back to the stove and stood awhile. Be finally picked up the butter and started towards the door, but he stopped and again laid the butter on the end of the counter near the door and returned to the stove, where he stood and talked to some of the many cus tomers in the room. lie finally started, and sauntering leisurely down to where lie had put the butter, picked it up am:, passed out of the door. Mr. Carmon, who had been watching him closely all this time, followed him and made him hand over the butter, besides com pelling him to show the contents of his over coat pockets, which he thought contained other articles stolen from his counters. We did not learn the nam;,. of the thief, but un derstand that this was not his first offense. A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE—A friend informs us that during the storm that pre vailed about 6 o'clock on Friday evening, Nov. 14th, a ball of lightning, at a distance appearing to be two or three feet in diameter, fell slowly to the earth, striking and com pletely demolishing a large pine tree that stood about 160 yards from Mt. Calm school house, in Lawrence township, and which measured two-and-a-half feet in diameter at the butt, and was a sound, live tree. The ball exploded upon striking and a dense smoke arose, but the tree did not ignite, nor was it charred in the least. About ten seconds seemed to elapse after the ball exploded until the peal of thunder was heard by those half a mile away, and they were slightly shocked at that distance. Upon examination it was found that the tree had been completely demolished —literally broken into kindling wood—and the pieces were scattered to a great distance in every direction, and nothing remained of the tree save a stub about six feet high about the roots of which the ground was torn up. Pieces were found at the following distances from_ the tree : North 615 feet, south 360 feet, east 330 feet and west 300 feet. Many people have visited the spot and express as tonishment at the sight. The statement is corroborated by some of the township's best citizens who witnessed the phenomenon. Ball lightning is something of rare occurrence and an eminent writer on the subject says •there are but few instances of this on record, and no very satisfactory explanation has ever accounted for this curious appearance.—Rafts man's Journal, 26111, ult. Kidney-Wort effectively acts at the same time on Kidneys, Liver and Bowels. A WONDERFUL RECORD.—Myriads of so-called "specifics" and "cures" for Rheumatism have alreedy been brought before the public, and many of them have even been endorsed by the certificates of respect able and prominent citizens, who have derived benefit from such preparations. There is no doubt that a great many of these "Liniments," LOils," etc., so widely advertised and freely recommended for Rheumatism and painful complaints of a similar nature, have genuine merit and will relieve certain types of the comphtinis named ; but when Rheumatism, and kindred diseases have be come chronic and threaten serious results, you may rest assured that they will help but very little. Although not recommended as "infallible," the peculiar qualities of ST. JA COBS' OIL especially adapt it to those cases which may be termed "chronic" and which have previously withstood all known "speci fics" as well as the prescriptions of the best physicians. We would mention, as an example, the case of Mr. A. 11. Heilman, Editor of the Pittsburgh Republican, who suffered with rheumatism for two years. After vainly using all the best recommended remedies and exhausting the skill of the most experienced physicians with out even temporary relief, it required only two bottles of ST. JACOBS OIL to effect a permanent cure. Mr. C. Ilanni, a well-known citizen of Youngstown, Ohio, secured for his wife, who for twelve years had been a constant sufferer from Neuralgia in the head, the services of the ablest physicians in the land, but they were unable to do anything for her ; half a bottle of ST. JACOBS' OIL cured her. Mr. Wm. Reinhardt, Elmore, Wis., reports the case of a neighbor who for twenty-four years had suf fered so terribly with Rheumatism that, at times, he could hardly move •around ; a few bottles of ST. JACOBS Orr, cured him. "To cap the climax," however, Mr. A. Neiger, of Tay li - lorrille, Pa., writes that his mother, who had been a continual sufferer with Rheumatism for the past thirty years, used one bottle of Si. JACOBS OIL and was immediately relieved of all pain. 'fhese are results which truly de serve to be brought to public notice ; but they are not exceptions, as will be seen by the nu merous ether certificates from all parts of the United States. It should be the duty of every one to call the attention of his suffering friends and neighbors to this wonderfully efficacious preparation, especially as the low price of 50 cents a battle places it within the reach of all persons, rich and poor. A BRUTAL EXHIBITION.—A couple of human brutes visited this place ou Thanks— giving dav, hired a room under the Jackson hotel, and put on exhibition a "headless rooster" at ten cents a peep. They were per mitted to show here without molestation, but they did not fare so well in Hollidaysburg, as the following, from the Altoona Tribune of Monday, will show : Two men who gave their names as B. P. Gilnora and G. W. Price were arrested on Saturday night while exhibiting in Lovett's building, Hollidaysburg, at ten cents a peep, a living rooster with the front part of its head, including the bill and eyes, ingeniously but inhumanly cut off without injuring the brain. The arrests were made by Constable Wright on information made by William Shomo, esq. In default of $5OO bail the men were com mitted to jail to answer at court for wanton cruelty and maiming animals. The men who owned the chicken claim that it has been living in its present mutilated condition for the last eight months ; but as the bird is young and without signs of spurs good judges say it was in the shell eight months ago. The wound■ were evidently but recently inflicted and have been smeared with a preparation of powder to give them a dried and old appearance. A chicken, it is said, will live sometimes eight days, or until it starves to death, whey the exhibitor substitutes a healthy chicken that has been subjected to the same inhuman cra ting. U. W. Price belongs to our town, and hired with the chicken man during his visit here on Thanksgiving day, so that he could have had no part in ibe brutal cutting of the fowl ; but he was in bad company, and will have to suffer for it. RULES CONCERNING NOTES AND CHECKS. —This from the financial department of the Philadelphia Ledger may be of interest to some of the readers of the JOURNAL: There are some things which may not be generally known to some of our readers who do business at bank, the knowledge of which may save them from vexation and possible loss. One is that an individual or firm has no right to make a note or acceptance payable at a bank at which they keep no account.— Should this have been done, however, and the officers cf the bank refuse to receive the money from the makers of the note or ac ceptance, no fault can justly be found with them for such refusal. Banks yielding to such requests have sometimes gut into trouble thereby, being embarrassed by irregular en dorsements, &c. A note or acceptance made payable at a bank is liable to be presented for payment at 10 o'clock in the morning, and very often is so presented. The maker of paper payable at bank is not notified by the holder of maturity and place of payment, it being assumed that the maker has this knowl edge already. The maker of a note or ac ceptance not made payable at bank can pay it any hour before three o'clock, though the earlier in the day he does so the better it is fur his credit ; while a note payable at bank ought to be provided for at ten o'clock in the morning. A cheek drawn by an individual cannot lawfully be paid after information of the death of the drawer has reached the hank on which the check is drawn. Persons hold ing such checks ought to collect them as soon as possible—otherwise they arc in a sense in suring the lives of the drawers.

Clay Marshall caused considerable excitement in town by bringing in a fine four-pronged buck, which be shot on Jack's Mountain, above Matilda Furnace. He started up the mountain alone about 8 o'clock in the morn ing, taking with him his shot gun, expecting to shoot a wild turkey, and very unexpectedly "raised" a deer, which he severely wounded with buck shot. Following the trail for a mile or two, which he could readily do by means of a slight snow, and by frequent spots of blood, be finally came up with him ani a couple more loads of shot laid him low. He dressed about 150 pounds. We might add as this is not Clay's first one, a committee was not considered necessary to "set up" with him.—Mt. Union Times, 27th ult. Itching P.les—Symptoms and Cure.

EDITOR :—Under the above caption I see in the JOURNAL of the 4th ult., a commu• nication of over a column from Rev. Thomp son Mitchell. It would perhaps be discoert eons to the Reverend gentleman to refuse at least a passing notice of so ponderous a docu ment, the product of two long months of in enhation, and one on which so much time, talent, thought and bntin power have been expended, and I shoul,l perhaps have answer ed it sooner, but for two or three considera tions, one of which has been already mention ed, and as Ben. Butler said on a certain occa• sion, I sometimes use such things by way of mental recreation. There is one other reason which I will not mention except sub rosa to you, and one which the public need not read. It is embraced in an old French proverb which runs somehow in this way: Le feu n'en vaut pas la chandelle. But, zatis verborum, let us get down, as the lawyers would say to the corpus delicti, and ascertain what has called forth this mighty, this stunning, this almost incomprehensible intellectual effort. Infandumrenovare dolorum, is never a pleasant duty, but on referring to the minutes of the last session of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church; I find the following Pre amble and Resolution : WIIIIREAS, We believe it is the Christian senti ment of our people that the Camp-meeting Asso ciations within our bounds should not afford 00- easion for the assembling of unwieldy crowds on the holy Sabbath, thus desecrating the same, and thereby bringing reproach upon the Church, there fore, . . . . - , Rejoiced, That we request said Associations to close their grounds on the Lord's day. This was adopted by a vote of 127 ayes to 46 noes, amongst the latter of which, I find the name of Mr. Mitchell, who, having thus placed himself on the record in favor of Sab bath desecration, would very naturally be ex pected to come forward as an apologist of Sabbath desecrators, hence this labored de fense, and line illoe laclimce. The difference between us then is entirely embraced in the fact that I have sought to expose and thereby prevent the desecration of the Sabbath, in which I have the sympathy and co-operation of the moral and religious sentiment of the community, including, it seems, a very large and respectable majority of his own religious denomination. But you racy say this is none ef my business, which, to a certain extent, may be true. I am net the keeper of his conscience. De gustibus non eat disputandum, and the sub ject of camp meetings not being under discus sion I have nothing to say about them. My own opinion is that a work-house would be a more beneficial i'hstitution just now in our county ; but on this suhject I may have some thing to say hereafter. But let us scrutinize for a moment his state ment, and see what it all amounts to. Aside from the Police Gazette sensation part which we will pass by for the present, the entire thing is a tissue of negative testimony. He is profuse in his description of what he did not see, and I may add of what he did not want to see, and his logic is about as forcible as that of the Irishman, who, when convicted of steal ing, said it was a very hard case that he should be convicted on the testimony of only one witness who saw him steal the axe, when he could easily produce a hundred others who did not see him. Here again is the difference between my statement and that of Mr. Mitch ell, for while I have related what I saw and heard, and could if necessary bring the testi mony of at least one reputable citizen ; one eye and ear witness, to every assertion, I have no doubt he could just as easily produce ninety nine as good men as himself who would be willing to come forward and truthfully swear that they did not see or hear anything ef the kind, which would be conclusive, upon the hypothesis of the Irishman, and adopting his view of the value of negative testimony. Mr. Mitchell seems to take for granted at least three things : First, that I own or run a Sabbath school ; second, that I have affinity with some church, and, third, that this church is in debt, and this being the case he proposes to go a little money on his own credibility. A little good sense would indicate at once the fallacy of his proposition. First, it is not likely that any preacher would be willing to imperil his appointment by any such admission, and second, as I have never owned a Sabbath school, although a Sabbath school worker, as well as an opponent of Sabbath desecration, there would be no one to receive the magnifi cent donation of $lO. If his second assumption be correct, then the third could scarcely be wrong, as there are but few churches out of debt; but, however unfortunate this may he for them, I do not know that it is considered any disgrace,and if the insinuation was meant, as it evidently seems to be, for a slur upon any particular church, he is entirely welcome to all the capital it will bring him. But I must also decline his record money proposition, at therisk of losiag to the church the princely sum of $25. I fail to recognize the right or authority of any church in settling a question •f veracity between individuals. If I rightly read my bible I find there no such authority vested in any ecclesiastical tribunal, nor do I. recognize any ex cathedra power existing in any earthly potentate from Leo XIII down to Pre. siding Elder Mitchell. I am an American citizen, and the laws of the country are ample for the protection of the character of every citizen, living or dead. Besides all this it would place the church in the position of ac ceptiug a bribe, or of gambling for the $25, and I am opposed to gambling, believing that the only legitimate way of making money is to render an equivalent for it. The church and the ministry should be careful to avoid every appearance of evil, and the fact is, the entire proposition is so full of ignorance, egotism and self-importance as to he almost unpardonable in a school boy, let alone a D. D. As to the "parents and guardians" he speaks of I hope he will give himself no trouble on that account, as I am not asking or seeking a place in their homes or heart!. In the con scientious discharge of my duty I have neither sought favors nor avoided frowns. I have lived long enough to know that our best efforts for the good of others are not always well received, and it may be so in this case. This truth has been exemplified throughout the history of a world which in all ages has per secuted its benefactors and deified its oppress ors ; which has murdered its Saviour and erected a diadem on the grave of the Cwsars. And now, semelpro semper, allow me to say to Mr. Mitchell and all others whom it may concern, that I expect, so long as I live, regardless of denunciation from any quarter, to exercise the constitutionnl right of every American citizen to speak and write against Sabbath desecration, intemperance, profanity, hypocrisy and all other vices, whenever I see proper, and wherever they may come under my observation, and in doing so I invoke the aid of the press, the pulpit, and the moral and religious sentiment of the community. MR. EDITOR :—Can you give the reason why all the Christian bodies in this town go to one place of worship on Thanksgiving day? It seems a strange practice for a town of this size, with the number of churches in it, to crowd into one, and that not the largest. It is a custom we never heard of in any other place, not even a village, and we see no good reason why each denomina tion should not be allowed to worship in their re spective churches. It would certainly add to the cheerfulness of the town, and allow more room for worshippers, who could give thanks in a way ac ceptable to themselves, and would no doubt in crease the number of worshippers, as all members at least, are supposed to prefer their own mode of worship. Please sift out the origin, and tell us if we are not right in supposing this to be the rea son : That if A did not feel like going to give thanks publicly for his many mercies, that his absence would not be discovered if B went. We would like to have the differ nt pastors look into the matter a little, and see if filling their own pulpits would not be a help towards filling their own churches, and so be a new cause for Thanks giving.

LITERARY NOTES - The sale of the edition of 100,000 copies of the November Scribner has made necessary the reprinting of that issue and the advancement of the first edition of the December number to 103,000. The justification of this is to be looked for, the publishers think, in the fresh and interesting lists of subjects, and in the capability of the writers in the present tium tier. The opening paper, on "The Capitol of New York," is contributed by Mr. Montgomery Schuyler, of the World, Who pronounces that building to he "the most honorable work of public architecture which this country has to show." This article is both descriptive and critical, and in connection with the twenty three illustrations conveys very definite im pressions of the features of the new building, about which there has been so much interest and curiosity, both within and without the Empire State. The paper on the "Johns Hopkins Universi ty," by Mrs. S. Herrick, supplies a complete and authoritative account of the character and plans of one of the most unique and valu able educational agencies of the country. Unusual personal interest attaches to Mr. Boyesen's account of "Two Visits to Victor Hugo," and discussions with him of the poll tics of the future, etc., accompained by a beautiful engraving by Cole of Bonnat's stri king portrait of Hugo. "Coffee Culture in Brazil" is graphically described in the closing paper of the series by Herbert H. Smith. This account is written from personal observation, and contains infor mation of no little value to the commercial world. A second paper on "Success with Small Fruits" is contributed by Rev. E. P. Roe, whose position as an expert horticulturist is unquestioned. This and the next paper of the series will contain some striking decora tive drawings, including views of strawberries (natural size) drawn with fine discrimination as to the varieties. The literary interest of the number is strong. The concluding half of Mr. E. C. Stedman's critical study of Bayard Taylor is given. A paper both curious and eharraing is contributed by John Burroughs, under the title "Nature and the Poets," the topic being the accuracy of carelessness of the poets' observation of nature, and many instances being cited from leading Americaa poets. A novel feature is the grouping in one collection of twenty "Poems by American Women," including many of the most prominent writers. These, with a humorous (illustrated) poem by Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, it is thought will afford a lair idea of the range, variety and limita tions of the poetry written by the women of this country. Scholarly reviews of "Blanid" and Baird's "Rise of the Huguenots," and notices of other books appear in the "Culture and Progress" department. In fiction, Mr. Jame's "Confidence" pro greases to a fifth instalment with inscrutable complications of plot and with profounder studies of character, perhaps, than its author has before exhibited ; it is said that the con elusion of the story will be a pleasant surprise to Mr. Jame's audience. In the second part of "The Grandissimes," Mr. Cable completes the background of his story and introduces two new characters : Citizen Agricola Fusilier, a Creole of Creoles and a hater of Americans, and Palmyre Philosophie, a voudou magician of the quadroon caste; and there are further delightful glimpses of the two pretty women whom the reader met is mask at the opening of the story. It is announced that the January instalment will be especially powerful. There is also a story by Charles Barnard of love and raining entitled "Under High Pressure." A fresh and chatty paper of an anecdotal character, on "Oddities of Paris," is written by J. D. Osborne, whose papers on Scribe, and Janin, and French Duels, in the same maga zine will be remembered. In the departments will be found editorial by Dr. Holland—`Sunday Bummers." "Teaca ere and Taskmasters," and "The Sermon," suggestions about "boiling"—the first of several articles on the principals of cookery ; advice for the boys of the family who may desire to become telegraphers, architects or engravers ; among the reviews, a timely notice of recent books for children,; accounts of a new stage for theatres, book sewing machines, curious calculating attachments for weighing scales, fire screen for forges, a new disinfect ant, etc. ; besides fresh anecdotes and rhymes in Brie a-Brac. The announcement is made in Scribner for December of a "Portfolio of Proof Impressions" containing 100 selected cuts from Scribner and St. Nicholas. A limited edition has been printed during the past summer with groat care on special paper; the cuts are surrounded by a gray mat of a size suitable for framing, and the whole is to be included in a hand some binding with an appropriate design. It is hardly necessary to say that this volume will be the finest possible representation of the excellence and variety of the wood en graving of America, which has recently been acknowledged by the London "Saturday Review" to be the best in the world. Fur sale at the JOURNAL Store. Si. Nicholas for December is the grand Chistmas Holiday number of that magazine, and appears i❑ a special cover,—a bright and jolly dress which encloses ninety or more illustrations, and one hundred and four pages of pure delight for girls and boys. John Greenleaf Whittier gives in quaint verse a humorous reminiscence of his boyhood concerning an Irish Quaker ; and Lucy Larcom contributes a sweet and suggestive song. Louisa M. Alcott's new serial story, "Jack and Jill," opens with lively snow sport of boys and girls, and an exciting coasting acci dent; and William 0. Stoddard's continued story, "Among the Lakes," fills six pages with boy fun in the open air. 'Edward Eggleston contributes an . amusing play, for boys and girls to act, entitled "Mother Goose and Her Family ; a Christmas Recreation for Sunday-school and other Festivals," accompanied by costume sketches and full instructions. By J. T. Trowbridge, J. W. DeForest, John Eaten Cooke, WashingtOn Gladden, Maurice Thompson, Sarah Winter Kellogg and others, there are short stories of stirring historical events, the land of wonder, the realm of goblins, the hunting-grounds of the Great South, and funny and touching incidents of home life. Then there are a profusely illustrated description of the small army of Telegraph Boys in New York, their works and ways ; and an art paper on Thorvaldsen, the great Danish sculptor, with portrait of himself and engravings of his principal works. The - list of illustrators includes Gustave Dore, Knans, Gisicemelli, Mary Hallsck Foots, and J. E. Kelly, who are represented by full page pictures ; and Frederick Dielman, E. B. Bensell, W. L. Sheppard and Jessie Curtis. Besides these, there is Addie Ledyard, with eleven lovely drawings of little-girl life, in illustration of some child-verses by Mary Mapes Dodge. The Departments "For Very Little Folk," "Jack-in-the Pulpit," Letter Box," and "Rid dle-Box" are full of Christmas fun and feeling, and there are some book notices that will be welcome to all who are practically interested in their children. Fur sale at the JOURNAL Store. • CIVIS Wide Awake for December is so good that the Christmas number can hardly be better— however, something very fine is promised for the holidays. "Sammy Sealskin's Enemy," with which the number opens, is one of the best of Rev. Edward A. Rand's stories, and this iS followed by Mrs. Celia Thaxter's story of "Bergetta's Misfortunes," for which J. G. Francis has made one of his irresistible cut pictures—two pictures for which alone any one can well afford to buy this number. A very interesting paper is the one written at Cambridge by Miss Harris, about "The New Chinese Professor at Harvard," giving por traits of the Mandarin teacher, and his two sons. No. XII. of Mr. Benjamin's Americas Art Series is about David Neal, and two fine engravings are given, one a full page, of Mary Stuart's first meeting with Rizzio. There is a charming Southern story by Mrs. Mollie Moore Davis, "Why Mammy Delphy named her baby Grief;" illustrated by Mary Halleck Foote. The three Serials are concluded, and after that considerable space is devoted to Sewing Schools, especially to "Sewing in the Boston Public Schools." "A Model Sewing School," by Mrs. Lillie, is written from the English point of view. There are several beautiful poems in the number, many of them illus trated, viz., "Faries—or, Fireflies," by Mrs. S. M. B, Piatt ; "Little Grandmother," by Anna F. Burnham ; "The Dancing Spiders," by Mrs. Denton ; "Shopping," by Laura Ledyard, etc., etc. Palmer Cox gives one of his fine animal pictures, a whole -Esop's Fable in itself, and there are Puzzles, and Letters for little folks and a piece of Christmas music.

DEATH UP BIWA DUN N.—Billy Dunn, an old citizen or resident of this place, we under stand died suddenly at the County Alms Ilouse, on Tuesday last. The cause of his death we have not learned. There seem to be conflicting reports in regard to it. Ile was found dead, it seems, at night, in the barn, where he. with other inmates of the institution, had been engaged in filling bed ticks. The authorities, we understand, say that he died of an apoplectic fit, while the inmates of the house say that he fell from the straw mow of the barn, and thus injured himself fatally. We learn from those who viewed the corpse, that the ap pearance indicated the latter an the most probable cause of his sudden and unexpected demise. We forbear comment till we have further particulars, but we do not know why there should be any con flict of opinion in regard to the facts in the case. Poor Billy ! His troubles are over. For many years his name has been familiar as household words to the men, women and children of this town. Quite harmless and inoffensive, but without sufficient mental endowment to be self-supporting, he has subsisted generally upon the charity of our citizens, none of whom were ever so poor that they had not a crust to spare for Billy when he came hungry to their doors. He had latterly, for sometime, and occasionally for many years, been an inmate of the County Alms House, and is supposed to have been about 65 years of age. LITTELL'S LIVING AGE FOR !ISSO.— The fact that this standard weekly magazine has had a successful career of over thirty five years against much competition, is proof sufficient that it meets an undoubted want of the public. It furnishes what is essential to American readers in a great and indispensable current literature—a literature which em braces more and more every year the work of the ablest thinkers and writers of the day. As the only satisfvqorily complete and fresh compendium 'of this literature, its importance aid value have steadily increased. It enables the reader, at trifling expense considering the quantity and quality of the reading furnished to keep pace with the best thought and literary work of our time ; and its great con venience to every intelligent person or family can therefore hardly be over-rated. The extra offer to new subscribers.for 1880 and the reduced clubbing rates, are worthy of note in the prospectus published in another column. The magazine is well worth the attention of those who are selecting their reading for the new year. As the multitude of periodicals increases more and more beyond the means and leisure of readers, the value of such a comprehensive one as this becomes more and more apparent.

ONE EXPERIENCE FROM MANY.— "I had been sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and ex pense, no one seemed to know what ailed me, that I was completely disheartened and dis couraged. In this frame of mind I got a bot tle of Hop Bitters and used them unknown to my family.
