LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention---Home-made and Stolen Pay your debts. Farewell, 1879. How do you do, 1880 ? What did you get ? The Holidays are over. Remember, write it 1880. A Happy New Year to all. Read the new advertisements. Get your horses "rough shod." The war in Turkey has ceased. Throw crumbs to the sparrows. Have you turned a "new leaf?" February will have five Sundays. The days will now lengthen slowly. The merry jingle of the sleigh bells. The cold snap makes the coal suffer. The township roads are reported bad. The printers are again at their"cases." Watch meeting last night, Wednesday. The week of prayer begins next Sunday. Ilouse bunters are becoming more numer. ous. 11 the tab on your paper !narked up to 1881. Did you make the little ones of the nursery glad? The merry sleigh bells have been making music. Acorn on the tree is worth half-a-dozen on the toes. The middle of the streets was popular this morning. The "Juniata Minstrels" didn't draw a 'illy ing house. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon is no slave to fashion. The price of all kinds of paper is still on the increase. Ye pedagogues arc having a jovial time this week. Hon. Thad. Banks, of Hollidaysburg, is dangerously ill. Our nice little boys buy their tobacco by the penny's worth. Students are returning to their various schools and colleges. Leap year. We pity the poor lone and help less male population. The opening of the New Year brought many strangers to Huntingdon. If you don't receive the JOURNAL next week, y.O know the reason why. The JOURNAL is the favorite paper in this county. Subscribe for it now. Marriages were not as numerous during the holiday season as in past years. Settle up and start square with the world —particularly with the printers. Some of the lady pedagognes attending the Institute are trim little creatures. Throw away your almanacs and come to the JOURNAL Store and buy a new one. Girls, this is leap year, and you hare the whole business in your own bands. We are indebted to Jack M'Caban, esq., for a turkey for our New Year's dinner. Several light falls of the "beautiful" since the last regular issue of the JOURNAL. The Fulton Republican knows a good thing when it sees i;. Vide its local column. About one hundred and sixty teachers are in attendance at the Institute this week. The booming of guns and pistols disturbed the slumbers of many persons last night. The rabbit, turkey, partridge and pheasant season closed on Wednesday of this week. Parson Crawford, a typo in the Altoona .Sun, perambulated our streets on Christmas. Don't fail to go to the festival of our Meth odist friends, in Penn street ball, next week_ The boys "rung ont the old and rung in the , new year" with a vengeance, in this locality Several black eyes are being carried by some of our town b'boys. Too much beer did it. We had a "white Christmas." and if the old saw is true, we may expect "lean graveyards" next year. Yesterday, seventeen years ago, Abraham Lincoln issued his fatuous Emancipation Pro clamation. And now, we are on the threshold of anoth er year. What will it bring forth ? Let us hope for the best. Over $200,000 have been received by the Pennsylvania veterans since the new pension law went into effect. A two-hundred pound bear was shot and killed near Lloydsville, on Christmas day, by a man named Glass. The confections sold this year demanded a better price than for years past, and there were more of them solo. We see that a number of our exchanges are still running the "New York Furnishing Co." advertisement. Fraud! A revival of religion is being carried on at the Stcne Creek M. E. chapel, but with what success we do not know. Rev. Win. M. Clippinger, of Ennisville, this county, spent a portion of New Year's Day with friends in Huntingdon. Itjeems that a neighbor on one of the back streets has an enemy, for the enemy's boy has a drum since Christmas day. The Winter session, 13 weeks, of the Bretb -ren Normal College, began 'Monday morning, with a very fair list of students. The services held at the several churches Christmas evening, are spoken of as very creditable and enjoyable affairs. There has been passable ice, for skating purposes, on Crooked Creek, for two weeks past, and Young America enjoyed it. Our handsome and clever friend, John M. Major, esq., of Harrisburg, spent a few days with his parents in this place last week. The JOURNAL would be an acceptable and appropriate New Year's present for an absent friend or relative. Only $2 a year in advance. The JOURNAL commences a new volume with this week's issue, and now is a good time to hand in your name accompanied with $2.00. The iron manufacturers of this State predict that the iron interests will be more prosperous this year than in 1879. We say let it "boom." The Pennsylvania company are now experi menting with an apparatus for heating cars with steam, which will do away with stoves. Johnstown is to bay* a steel broom factory, a new mill being in course of erection in that "get-up and-git" town for their manufacture. The sizes of the five cent bunches of celery sold here on Christmas day must denote that this toothsome vegetable is very scarce here aways. Rev. Richard Hinkle, of this place, attended the funeral of Dr. Crawford in Williamsport, a short time since. Dr. R. B. Hamlin was also in attendance. Examine the tab on your paper and see if you owe the printer. If you do, send the amount of your indebtedness and start square with the new year. Two minstrel troupes, composed of home talent, are practicing on the second and third floors of Port's building, corner of Fifth and Washington streets. The Harrisburg Telegraph says that Super intendent Prevost presented each sub-division foreman on the Middle Division of the P. R. R, with a large turkey. There wars a vast area of stomach ache in this place on Thursday night last.all of which was caused by the tons of candies, more or less, that was eaten. Notwithstanding the increased average of rye in this State (3,500,000 bushels) the yield of straw is not equal to the demand iu the manufacture of paper. hi the course of about a u - celi or ten (I:tys Henry Sc Co. will have their new mill ready it operations. It is one of the most complete flouring mills in the interior of the State. The "headless roosicr - showman was le lea.-3ed from durance on condition that lie would pay the costs and kill the .rooster, the. both of which be did. Altoona had another walking match last week, the winner beiutr "Fatty" Kendig, the same person who got away with the first prize iu a previous contest. There were services held in the M. E. church, in this place, at 6 o'clock on Christ mas morning. The attendance was quite large for that early hour. A very large wild turkey was brought to town, by a countryman. on Saturday last, and disposed of at a raffle. Our friend, "Honesty Miller, was the lucky man. The mercury was very lua• hereabouts on Friday and Saturday morning, but as the days advanced it went up again, and the weather became more pleasant. Our town clock stopped at 7:55 the other morning, but in the course of two or three hours it was in running order .again, making us a happy yeomanry again. The man that parts his hair in the middle and has all the make ups, minus the tail, of Darwin's man, was in attendance at the teachers' institute this week. We were in error in statir.g iu our last is sue that the public schools would he closed but for one day. They dosed on the 23d ult. and will be opened again on the sth inst. 'Tis said that a West Huntingdon miss has got herself into a peek of trouble by appro priating wearing apparel that didn't belong to her. A good start for tin new year. Since the burning of the railroad depot at Tyrone th• different offices are transferred to the Ward House. We understand that a new depot will be erected on the site of the old one. That's right. Give it to him. This was the expression of an old nurse, when somebody recommended Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup to our little Charlie, who was suffering with Wiud Colic. The new Baptist church at Orbisonia will be dedicated, on Wednesday next, 7th inst., at 11 o'clock A. M. Rev. Dr. Johnston, of Phila delphia, assisted by other able ministers, will officiate. The receipts of the Juniata boys didn't pan out well, as we understand they amounted to .$14.30, and their expenses $14.00 Notwith standing, they say, the performance ICAS a creditable one. A handsome Christmas tree was the attrac tion at the Stone Creek chapel last week, and the heart of many a little one was made glad by the liberal distribution from its heavily ladened branches. Mr. Evans, who bad charge of school No: 9, - in this borough, has resigned to accept a more lucrative position in the 11 & B. T. R. R. office at Dudley. At present writing his successor has not been chosen. Isaac Maine, a Blair county marksman, the other day made a "string" of three shots— distance not given—which measured three eighths of an inch. That was hunting the centre pretty closely. l'ersons who desire solitude rather than active life, who long for places where they can commune with their own thoughts, unin terruptedly, should speed their time in stures that do not advertise. M. A. Miller, esq., a former employe of the JOURNAL office, but now employed on the Johnstown Sunday Times, spent the holiday season at his home in this place, looking as handsome as a daisy. The pavements were in a terrible condition this morning, the same being completely cov ered with a sheet of ice By noon, however, Old Sol loosened the icy fetters, and locomo tion became more easy. E. B. Haines, late of the Williamsport Ban no, has become the owner of the controlling interest of the Altoona Call, and hereafter, that sheet will be run in the interests of the railroad men. Success. Kriss-Kingle visited the residence of Geo. A. l'ort, esq., and the result was that the Port household was increased another mem ber; a tine boy baby having been given the parents as a Christmas gift. Drunkenness and rowdyism seemed to rula the day on Christmas, in Hollidaysburg, but what more could be expected of a town that rears a barber that will steal the shroud of a dying woman and sell it for rum. The watch meeting held at the M. E. Church on Wednesday night was largely attended, and the exercises were of as highly interesting character, and we hope will be the means of benefiting some who were in attendance. Some drunken roughs, one night last week., went to the confectionery shop of S. T. Clem ent, in West Huntingdon, and broke several panes of glass in his show window, besides upsetting the stove and playing Ned generally. Christmas Eve was a wet, miserable evening, and our merchants didn't reap the harvest that they expected. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, however, a great many pedestrians were our, but bought little. The attendance at Sunday School is already growing slimmer. Christmas is over and there will be no inducements for a certain class of scholars to go to school until the picnic sea son approaches, when they will again be on hand. During the past month it required but ten tons of coal to heat the new school building. This is a great .saving on the old plan, and in addition to the saving the heat was uniform all the time and sufficient to the comfort of the pupils. Master Harry Leister, son of mine host, of the Leister House, who is learning the science of pharmacy in New York city, spent the holi days with his parents in this place. He looks as fresh as a new blown rose and as sleek as a young lion. The poor lone tramp was nandering around yesterday. There may not be much in this, but when it is known that some of our back street people are just now short of the "feed'' yclept cold "corn dodgers," it makes quite a passable item. It is a great pity to see how many people allow a.cough or cold to go unnoticed, and thus pave the way to an untimely grave from the effects of consumption. A pleasant, safe, reliable and cheap remedy is 1)r. Bull's Cough syrup. Price 25 cents. Rev. M. N. Cornelius, of Altoona, lect•ired in the Presbyterian church. in Alexaudtia, on Tuesday evening, the 23d instant, for- the benefit of the Woman's Missionary Society. His them• was "Those Neighbors of Ours," and has been pronounced a good one. Mr. John Whitehead, of Huntingdon, has leased a large and extensive coal property in Clearfield county, and will proceed to open it and commence shipping coal as early in the season.as possible. He is already running a large mine in the same.region.—Tyrone Herald. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Sun day Press, writing from Altoona, says that "John M. Stonebrtker is making an active can vass and will receive the Republican nomina tion for mayor of the Mountain City."• Go in, "Stony," and "set 'em up" on the other fel lows. Portions of Cambria county are again being scourged with diphtheria, several deaths hay ing occurred from it within the past few days. A family by the name of Fender, residing in the Fourth Ward of Johnstown, has lost four or five of its members---all grown up—within a month. T. Frank Baxter, of Massachusetts, lectured at Spruce Creek, on Tuesday night of last week, on Spiritualism, and at Tyrone the night following. A number of our citizens were present at both lectures. and they speak in the highest terms of praise of the oratorical powers of the lecturer. A butchering contest. for $lOO a side, be tween two Lock Haven butchers and two from Altoona, came off in the latter city, on Thurs day afternoon of last week, and resulted in a victory for the Altoonians. They dressed a seven hundred weight bullock in eight min utes and four seconds. Our jeweler friend, T. Wilday Black, esq., has just put in one of the handsomest and costliest show-cases ever seen in this county. Mr. Black has one of the neatest establish ments between Philadelphia and Pittsbu7gli, and we are glad to know that he is meeting with that success which his attention to busi ness and his efforts to please merit. Fire when under the control of man, at best, is very, destructive to properly and life, and people should be careful how they "play with it ;" but 'tis sad to contemplate the fate of poor Huntingdon, should the great reservoirs back of town "bust" and leave their great volumes of water down upon Ile, The loss of life and property would be terrible! Selah 1 There are two things the borough fathers , houl ! not permit : Coasting and playing "shinny" on the public streets. In passing along Mifflin street, one day last week, where a party of boys were engaged in a game of -shinny," the block came so near striking us in the face that we could distinctly bear the ‘• r" of it as it flew through the air. alt. a late hour 011 Christmas eta the (pie; of our town was disturbed by the howls and curses of a party of drunken young men and hal f-fzrown boys.who went staggering through the streets in squads of three or four, each prty vieinz with the other to see which c,old scream the loudest or be the most profane. Do..vn brakes, young gentle men. The post of ee at Alexandria, this county, was broken into and robbed on Tuesday night. About $lB worth of postage stamps, a lot of clothing, several pairs of boots, and the bal ance of the pn,reeds of Rev. Cornelius' lecture on "Those Neighbors of Ours" were stolen. The postmaster was treasurer of the lecture fund. The post office at Barree was also broken into the same night, and the mail bag rifled. No clue to the thief or thieves. The Prinrith , e Christian, published in this place by Quinter & Brumbaugh Brothers, has just entered on its eighteenth volume, and it celebrates the event by appearing in a changed and handsomer form, with a new heading and dressed in a partially new suit of clear, beau tiful type. Thy Primitive Christian is strictly a church paper, is conducted with care and ability and is doing good service In a good cause. We wish its gentlemanly proprietors all the success possible. An increase of rents is looked for, in fact a great many have gone up, in this municipality. With Cie increased value of coal, dress goods, boots and shoes, flour, and other commodities that enter into economical housekeeping, where is the poor devil, with low wages now, with no possibility of their being advanced, to come out at the end of the year. We opine at the little end of the horn, and the con stable waiting to execute the little household goods he has left. John . K. Carmon, esq., who has spent sev eral months in Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, traveling for the benefit of his health, returned borne on Christmas eve, showing considerable improvement, he having gained some twenty pounds in weight during his tour. lle is favorably impressed with New Mexico, but does not speak in flattering terms of the former States. It there be no Provi dential interli ouryoang friend expects to return to New Mexico in the early Spring. W. 0. Trent, of Somerset, Pa., sends us the following, with the request that we publish it : have a man employed in my ci gar factory, who, I will wager $lOOO on that he can make more cigars in one day, week or mouth than any man in the United States."— We have no doubt some person will accept Mr. Trent's challenge. Mr. Jesse Akers has quite a number of men employed in his factory, in this place, bit whether any of them will feel like tithing up this ch..lien,ge we are not able to say. The German Baptists, otherwise known as Duukards, will hold a ten days meeting in their church in Hill Valley, commencing on the first day of January. Some notable preachers from a distance will be in attend ance during tne continuance of the meetings, and it is expected that the series of meetings will be irteresting and productive of much good. Since the establishment of this church in Hill Valley—some four years ago—this de nomination has added upwards of fifty mem bers to the church.—.lll. L r ition Times. Fur a month or six weeks before the holi days, the cattily workmen were pushed with orders, and we opine that they are now glad that the "happiest time of the year" is past. In this connection, Messrs. Chas. Osmer and James Sellers, workmen at one of our candy manufactories, deserve great credit for their endurance, as they worked night and day for four weeks before the Christmas holidays, and for the immense amount of sweetmeats put out on the market by them, and the su perb manner in which it was gotten up. For sleepiness the Journal of Health recom mends this : \Vet half a towel, apply it to the back of the neck, pressing it upward to the base of the brain, and fasten the dry half of the towel over so as to prevent the too rapid exhalation. The effect is prompt and charming, cooling the brain, and introducing calmer, sweeter sleep than any narcotic.— Warm water may be used, though most persons pi efcr cold. To those suffering from over-ex citement of the brain, whether the work of brain work or pressing anxiety, this simple remei.y is an especial boon. It is astonishing to see bow many people there are who buy valuable properties and then neglect to record their deeds. The law provides that all deeds shall be recorded with in six months after their date, and if this is not done they shall be void as against a sub sequent purchaser for value. Some honest old farmer will find some day, when it is too late, that he has losst his property by keeping his deeds locked up at home iu order to save a small record fee. This is certainly a false notion of economy. The law provides a method to protect titles, and why net avail yourselves of it and save trouble and expense ? Whitt do you think of a man who will take a newspaper for four or five years, without paying for it, and then request the postmaster to notify you that "he does not want it any longer?" The man who does so is more dis honest than the midnight burglar or the foot pad who meets the traveler ou the highway and demands him to "stand and deliver;" you can defend yourself against the rascality• of the latter, but while you deal with the former as trite were an honest man, trusting him to the amount of $8 or $lO, you are sud denly cpprized that he is a thief, and in nine cases out of ten you have co remedy, for such fellows generally have their properly vested in their wives. They plan to defraud their creditors. MOUNT UNION NOTES.- The festival in the Presbyterian church was a grand success. We understand there is to be a large furni ture store opened on Shirley street in the near future. Hope it may not be all talk. Quite a number of onr former citizens, liv ing elsewhere now, were home on a visit du ring the holidays, among whom was our good looking friend, Foster Bollinger, of Johnstown. Mr. David Casiday, who has the contract of mining and shipping ore from the mines at Matilda Furnace to Rockhill Furnaces, is ship ping about twenty-eight tons per day. It is a nice thing for Davy. The East Broad Top Railroad Company have been receiving new ears for sometime past. Business On that road is good.. "Spoony," the obliging clerk in the office at the yard, in this place, has to handle them. Be can do it too. Our tobaczo men, McCarthy, Miller and Mcßittrick, are busily engaged in stripping the crop of last year. It looks well as a gen eral thing. One man talks of putting 20 acres out the Spring. That would give employ meut _to some of our idle boys. A yontrg man, named Elder, was brought to this place, ou Pacific Express on Wednes day morning from Ohio, where he had been attending school. He was very sick and was on his way home, which is in Franklin county. Onr young friend, John F. McCrarey, a resi dent of Shirley township, was his attendant. He is also attending school at the same place. Christmas day was rather lively in this place, plenty of drunks, two fights, one of them a general row. It occurred on Shirley street. The parties were all arrested and put under bail. George Rodgers and William Winskey had a hearing before the Justice of the Peace on Tuesday and here acquitted. The balance had a hearing on Wednesday. We cannot as yet give the result. THAT "HEADLESS CHICKEN."—In an• other column we note the fact that the "head. les , chicken" business In HolWartburg, has been ended, by the owner of t paying the costs, killing the fowl and leaving that corn munity. Since penciling the item we came across the following clipping which we pub lish entire, and those who disbelieve its an thenticity can enclose a stamp to the route agent spoken of, and learn the truth for them selves : A HEADLESS ROOSTER.-11. W. Wynkoop, route agent of the American Express Company, related the following, the truthfulness of which he vouches: Of all the curiosities or monstrosities I ever beheld,a headless roosters which a farmer of South Bend has on exhi tion, was the strangest. The farmer desiring a pot-pie for dinner, caught the rooster and cut off the bead with an axe. Mr. Chanticleer did not seem to mind the absence of his head, however, and crawled under the barn, from which hiding place he emerged several days after with the stump of his neck partially healed over. The farmer wishing to see how long he would live, put a little corn, gravel and water down his throat. This occurred in April last and the fowl has been kept alive ever since by this same means. He has been offered $4.000 for it, which he would not ac cept, and has started out exhibiting the won der. Juniata Valley Cappmeeting Assecia- To the Editor 31Onitor In accord.; n ri Ii the suggestions in the resoltil b4us r fully request the publie,.i•in of the • At the annual meeting .ti the Stoclibolderp al' the Juniata Valley Ca:minter: het. l at Newton llatuiiton, November 6 i, 1 amongst other business transa.:!ial. the was unanimously adopted: WitnnEAS, An infamous article appeared in the lion tingdon JouttriAL of August '29, eel:du-et.. the Valley Camianeetiug, held at Neat,al nut only iu foul inuendoes and lid:, aqvgati.,t) and aspersion on the Christian Ministry. but infamous in that it contains matter of alleged infamy such as "di:wasting! y shameful conduct, drunkenness, pr,la nal y, oben oily, and Sabbath desecration ;" and Wasaaas, The Campmeeting Association has, by said article, been held responsible before the public fur such alleged matter of infamy ; therefore Resolved, That we recommend the Board of Directors to appoint a Committee of three to wait upon the Editor and publisher of the Huntingdon JOURNAL, 3411. i fiCtitand the name of the author of the article aforesaid, milli it view to an Investigation of the twitters alleged t., have occurred. Resolved, also, That we recommend the same com mittee be directed to interview the conductor of the two trains of Sunday and Thursday nights running westward, and obtain from him a written statement asto any misbe havior on said trains, and if so, to what eateut and bow many persons were involved in it. Resolred, That in the event of the refusal of the Editor of the Huntingdon JOURNAL to disclose the author of the article above named, the committee then furnish the press for publication the paper with such refusal; and also the statement of the conductor, if they deem it advisable, At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Juniata Valley Campmeetin ,, Association, held at Huntingdon on Saturday, November 15Lh, 1879. amongst other business transacted, the resolutions adopted at the stockholders' meeting at Newton Hamilton on the 6th day of November, 1879, relative to an artic'e which appeared in the Hun tingdon JOURNAL of August 29th, were duty con sidered, and on motion, 8.11111101 11. McCoy, K. M• King and John A. McKee, were appointed a com mittee to wait on the editor and publ:sher of the Huntingdon JOURNAL and demand of him the name of his correspondent "Civis," with a view to an investigation of the charges c )ntained in said article. On the 28th day of November, S. H. McCoy, K. M. King and John A. McKee, the committee above named in pursuance of their appointment called on Mr. Nash at his place of business in Hunting don end demanded of him the name of the author of the article published in the Huntingdon Joutia- AL of August 29th, signed "Civis," to which demand Mr. Nash replied that he could not give the name without the convent of "Civic ;" that he could not then, nor that day, see him, but that in a few days he would see him and ri:port the re sult to K. M. King. On the 6th day of Ducuiber Mr. John A. Nash reported to Mr. King, that "Geis" will not allow him to yir, l.te The foregoing action on the p-trt of the Stock holders and Board of Directors of the Juuiatc. Valley Oampineeting Association shows a disposi tion and purpose on their part to investigate the matters of alleged infamy as published by "Civis." He refuses to disclose his name or give any infor mation whereby an investigation might be made. His assumed justification for parading before the public such infamous matter is, that he did it in the interest of public. virtue. But the mere publication of infamy has no tendency to promote public virtue; rather the reverse, as the deleteri ous influence of bad exainWe is thereby spread abroad; whe eas, holding the parties to personal account for such infamous conduct as has been alleged does have a tendency to restrain vice and thereby promote the interest of virtue. Yet when the campmeeting authorities Fropose an investi gation both "Civic" and the editor of the Hun tingdon JOURNAL, put up the bur. We, therefore, with this comment, give to the public the action taken by the Ca.wpmeeting Association, and the result, and let the public judge where the odium rests, whether on the vilifier or those whom he traduces. Truth never seeks the cover of darkness. In reply to the above statement we have only to say the assertions contained therein are false, ungentlemanly and uncalled for. The facts as set forth in the article referred to, were furnished us on the authority of one 'of our prominent, well known and respectable citizens, whose character for integrity and truthfulness will at least compare very f•tvora bly with that of any of the Stockholders of the Juniata Valley Campmeeting, and cor roborated by dozens of others who were eye and ear witnesses to all that happened, and we gave them to the public as we deemed it to be our duty in the interest of public morals. They were corroborated by "Spectator," in a subsequent communication, another well known and highly respected citizen of our coanty, and although we threw open our columns to any one wishing to reply, no denial of any one statement has ever been made, and no counter statement has ever appeared. [lad any one furnished us with anything of the kind we would most clieerful_ ly have published it, or if we bad been shown that any portion of the statement was false, it would have given us the greatest pleasure to have made the correction, but no one has ever contradicted any one of the assertions, or asked us to correct a line or a syllable of the article. All that has ever been required of us was the name of the correspondent, which, as every one should know, would have been a violation of our rules and a want of courtesy and good faith on our part, but the assertion that we have ever placed any barrier in the way of an investigation, we denounce as a falsehood, equally base and malicious. We publish a paper in the interest of the community, not of any corporation, and in doing so have tried to treat all persons with that gentlemanly courtesy which is due to all, and all we ask is the same kind of treatment in return. No "iufamous article" has ever appeared in our paper, or ever shall while we have control of it, but we will not be threat ened, bullied or badgered into doing what we do not consider right and honorable, and while entertaining the highest regard for any thing which is calculated to promote the interest of Christian morality, we believe that the roan who will wilfully manufacture or publish a falsehood to the injury of his neigh• bor is neither a Christian nor a gentleman. LlTERARY.—Pursuant to announcement, the people of McConnellstown and vicinity met at the school building to witness an ex hibitidu of the literary and executive ability of the members of the school. Long before the time came to open doors, people began to pour in from all quarters, and soon the floor of the house was a solid mass of living hu manity. At 7 o'clock the exercises were open ed with a piece of instrumental music, per formed by Miss Ella Ward and Mr. M. R. Ward. Then Miss Ora A. Heftier was called and read a salutatory. Miss A. C. Douglass read an essay on "Friendship and Love." Miss Jennie Simpson gave a good rendition of "One Hundred Years from Now." Miss G. M. States fully met the expectations of the audience, and Miss Ella Watson went far beyond their expectation. "The Little Lap:and Boy," by Bennie Orlady, was a very pleasant and inter esting performance. "Liberty and Union," and "The Old School House," by Fairman Megahan, were listened to with marked at tention. Gracie Brewster's "Winter Fire," and "Winter Hope" by Belle Megaban, were well received. Jonnie Johnson did credit to himself and the occasion by his well-timed per formance. A concert performance by Misses Beckie Heffner and Annie Douglass, closed the performances of the evening. The vocal music was conducted by Miss Hattie B. Lincoln, and the instrumental mu sic by Miss Ward. It is the opinion of good judges that the music was as good as could have been produced, under similar circum stances, any where in the county. A HAPPY EVENT.—Last Tuesday, the parlor of Mr. John Shank, of Warrior mark was filled with the elite of the neighborhood to witness the marriage of Miss Lucy Shank and J. Irvin Patterson. At half past three o'clock the happy couple entered the room and were soon made one by the Rev. Isaac Heckman. We recommend Mr. Heckman to any parties who contemplate passing through the trying ordeal if they wish to have it done quickly. After many congratulations the bride and groom entered the next room to in spect their presents, among which was a sew ing machine, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Shank ; silver castor, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Patterson ; pickle stand, Mary Patterson ; napkin rings, Jennie Patterson ; glass tea set, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Mattern ; glass pitcher, Sue M ittern; counterpane and two fruit dishes, Mr. and, Mrs. Harper; table cover, John Shank, jr.; linen towels, Mrs. John Funk ; fluit dish, Sadie Funk; vase of wax flowers, Annie l'4t terson; fruit dish, Annie Funk ; tea set, Chas. Study; table cloth and napkins, Mr. and Mrs. C. Krider; pair of silver vases and bread plate, Lizzie Hutchison. Next on the pro gramme was the supper, which is beyond the capabilities of our pen to describe. Turkey, oysters, and everything to satisfy the appetite of the most fastidious. A short time after supper the bride and groom started for Wash ington, carrying with them the best wishes of the community. Irvin has secured a good wife and may God'schoicest blessings be upon them through life. X.

EDITOR :-If the world and “!lte t , • mankind" have not already reeive:l of the camp meeting controversy, I sil9!lld like, briefly, to pay my respects to an article which I see published in some of the comity papFTs containing a series of resolutions fru porting to have emanated front the stoethoid- crs rf the Juniata Valley Camp iceting .I<- oc'ation, in which the bold statcquent made that an "infamous article" was pub lished in the JOURNAL of August 29, &c. Now, let us see wherein this alleged infamy consists, or rather, in the first place, who and what is the Juniata Valley Camp Meeting As sociation ? A joint stock company, formed ostensibly for the purpose of promoting the interests of Christianity, but really for the purpose of making money, as is manifest from the fact that a portion of the stockholders at least are not even professors of Christianity, and have little affinity for anything beyond turning an honest penny. This they have suc ceeded in doing, so far, I believe, because I happened to have a little money in the con cern at one time and . 1 remember . it paid a very handsome percentage. Now, during the recent camp meeting, as is by no means un common on all public occasions where the rabble congregate, some very outrageous and disgraceful conduct was witnessed and re ported by your correspondmt, as was his right and duty to do, without casting any reflections on any one but the guilty parties and holding none of the camp meeting authorities respon sible for the occurrence. But it seems that the Association, or rather some of the stock holders, were touched in a vulnerable point— the pocket. Demetrius like, the hope of their gain was imperilled, and hence these resolu tions, this bombastic display of ignorance and egotism, and this tissue of falselood, misrep resentation and spleen on their part, prompt ed not so much by a love for perishing souls as a love for the almighty dollar, as is mani fest in every line and sentence of this extra ordinary production. If telling the plain, unvarnished and uncontradicted truth about any party or any individual is infamy, then indeed is the article "infamous," and the best evidence of a liar that I know of is to insist on asserting that which be knows is not true, while a very good evidence of a fool is to assert that which he does not know anything about. This is about the way the matter stands, and as to the aspersions on the Chris tian ministry lain not quite certain that men who make no profession of Christianity are the proper parties to judge in this matter, and surely the man who willfully circulates a lie is not. to be regarded as either a Christian or a gentleman. But by what authority do these stockhold.- ers act Y Certainly not by that of the Church, for in the proceedings of the last Conference I find the following Preamble and Resolution, which were adopted by a very decided major— ity : WHERE As, We believe it is the Christian senti ment t,f our people that the Camp Meeting Associa tions within our bounds should not afford occasion for the assembling of unwieldy crowds on the holy Sabbath, thus desecrating the same, and there by bringing reproach upon the Church ; therefore, Resoleed, That tee I &pest said Associations to clove their grounds on the Lords day. From this it would seem that the stock holders have been proceeding on their own responsibility, without any regard to the ex pressed wish of the Conference. Does the dog wag. the tail or the tail wag the dog ? Who is the responsible party ? Who is going to proceed against those guilty parties awl have them punished ? Where does the authority exist to conduct this investigation, and why not proceed with it? Surely no one has placed any obstruction in your way. What do you propose to do with them ? Will you have those car loads of drunken rowdies arrested and punished for bad conduct when beyond your jurisdiction ? If so, why not get about it at once? The fact is no one has ever attempt ed to investigate it; no one wishes or wants to, this silly twaddle and senseless bombast to the contrary notwithstanding. Why, even that conductor has been spirited away in some unaccountable manner, and it does not appear that he has ever been interviewed. Consider, gentlemen, the ridiculously silly po sition you place yourselves in before an in telligent community. Now one word in regard to the sub commit tee. Although their illustrious names figure at the tail end of the article, it does not ap pear that they are either the tail or the dog, but as it were a kind of warty protuberatncs attached to the caudal appendage of the ani mat, and inteaded to be more ornamental than useful. Their ambition has no donbt been gratified at seeing their names in print, and I hope they will feel better after having opened their mouths and spoken. A similar circum stance happened once in Balaam's time with very good effect. I have nu doubt they sup pose, after having made this display, that wisdom will die with them, but if the compo sition and the grammar are to be taken as a tii:r specimen of their literary attainments. if they had been living iu the days of 'Saul th, of Kish, when he went out on the hunt of c2rtaiu animals, the trio might have been captured without any tear of prosecution for false detention. Bat I shall not say anything more about them for tear of the penalty at— tached to the infliction of cruelty on dumb animals. And in conclusion let me say that ou some future occasion Civis may take it into his bead to visit another camp meeting, and if he finds any reformation there he will certainly claim some of the credit of it, but if not, he will give to the public a faithful and truthful account of what he sees and hears let it be good or bad. There will, at all events, be "A chic! amang ye takin notes." "Civis," "Veritas," "Spectator," "Dr. Mitchell" and "J. V. C. M. A." EDITOR or JOURNAL :—The amusing play, "Much Ado about Nothing," coupled with the "Comedy of Errors," has a thousand times been acted, both before and since the days of the Bard of Avon. They are suc cessively being presented to the public by the characters heading this article. Evidently by "Civis," in his first article, as did also "Spec tator," who supports some of "Civis' " allega tions, permitted his excited disgust for the outrageous conduct which he saw, (the exis tence of a part of which Dr. Mitchell admits), to prompt or lead him into some figures of speech not warranted by the facts. But since he did not make responsible any individual— except those misbehaving—nor the Camp Meeting Association—the answers to him were unnecessary. All this trouble comes from the "Associa tion" antagonizing the clearly expressed wish of the Annual Conference. At its last session it passed a resolution setting forth some of the evils complained of by "Civic" and "Spec tutor," and requesting this Association—and all others—to close its gates on the Sabbath and thus cease to be a party to, or responsi ble for, the inevitable Sabbath desecration re fered to. This is a tacit admission that great throngs —in this agt , of railroads—cannot be brought together and managed on the Lord's day with out generating More evil than good, especially since churches are so numerous, and religious services so convenient to all. The strange thing is, that this Camp Meet ing Association, bearing the name of "Metho dist," should dare to defy the instructions of the Annual Conference. It is a marked illustration of the. position taken by the Rev. S. C. Swallow, in his pamphlet on Camp Meetings from which I quote : - "Many of these organizations are amena ble to no department of the church, whose banner they set up, and by means of whose bugle-call they entice the people to their pa tronage. They can, with equal facility, dety the legislative, judicial and executive depart ments of our economy. The enactments of Quarterly, Annual and General Conferences may by them be regarded with indifference or contempt. The respectful request of Bishops, Presiding Elders, Pastors and Church officers, (even though tenting on their grounds), may be tossed in air as carelessly as does the ath lete his club, or the acrobat his sand bag." Now is it not brazen effrontery for these Camp Meeting Managers, most of whom are Methodists, but some of ! whom are members of no church—And hence have little or no in terest in the advancement of Christ's King dom—to persistently refuse to comply u ith the reasonable request of the. Annual ("oofer epee ? Had this been done, as by all other Asso ciations in the Conference, the strictures of "Civis" and "Spectator," with the consequent anqivers of Mr. Mitchell, "Veritas" and "J. V. C. M. A," would have been ONE of New York's promineote heluists 31r._A;bert C.
