Clergymen, to earn their pay for February, will have to preach five times that month. Passenger trains west were behind time? Tuesday morning, on account of the snow. An adjourned term of Court will be held in this place, commencing Mooday, Feb. 9, 1880. Our public schools are flourishing, any were never in a better condition than they are now. A Mr. Grahaol, who lives at the head of Fifth Street, lost a little child by death on Friday. We have several men in town that won't work between meals, but let their wives do so. They say that some of the country roads were almost impassable the latter part of lust week. "Honesty" Miller, our Street Commissioner, has plenty to do, the streets being very muddy. 'Tis said that renters of property will make a grand change, in West Huntingdon, on April Ist. 'New moon Sunday, and according to the weatherwise, that accounts for the fall of snow. The revival at the Stone Creek Chapel closed on Saturday, with what success we did not learn. The Altoona Greenbackers will have a fu neral next Monday. It is Convention day with them. The proceedings of the Teacher' Institute wilt be issued in book form within tier next month. In some cases rents have been raised, whilst in others they have been lowered, in this neck o' timber. The members of the Presbyterian And Bap tist churches are holding meetings every night this week. Our druggists and insurance men have been distributing almanacs and calendars with a lavish hand. Bedford county has had its annual news - paper change of proprietors. This time it is the Inquirer. A Times Almanac was given to each buyer of the Saturday morning edition of the Phila delphia Times. The composition room in a printing office is not the place for debating, particularly during working hours. The time is drawing nigh to plant your to mato seeds, but now is the time to plant your advertisements. Joo. P. Reed, esq., one of Bedford's talented men at the Bar, tarried a while at the Miller House, Monday. The country people, taking advantage of the beautiful weather, Saturdax. flocked to town in large crowds. J. Hall Musser, esq., postmaster, was limp ing around with the rheumatism the latter part of last week. . Up to date the registers of the Leister, Miller and Franklin Houses, show a large number of arrivals. Wednesday morning was the coldest of the stason,and pedestrians moved along the streets with an elastic step. A proposed railroad from Greenwood Fur nace to this place was surveyed by a corps of engineers last week. The Lord's Supper will be administered in the Lutheran church next Sabbath morning, the 18th of January. Dr. McCarthy, of the Mt. Union Tirnea , lifted our latch-string and tarried a while with us on Monday afternoon. The prettiest girl in Huntingdon was pres— ent at the Union Temperance prayer meeting oa Sunday afternoon. Carpenters are engaged in erecting a wood en awning in front of the JOURNIL Building and Por't Meat Market. Hon. Thad. Banks, of Hollidaysburg, who has been dangerously ill for some weeks past, is slowly convalescing. The Pittsburgh Methodist I;piscopal Conven tion has agreed to urge the necessity of a marriage license in this State. Help the %Vest Hunting,ion Chiipel out o! debt, by patronizing their festival, held ia the Penn Street Hall this. Week. All new cowers add to the wealth ar.il pros perity of a town. Give those e.Yue to Huntingdon a hearty l‘relcu^ac. Oar old friend and patron, Mr. \V• , . • • who vas ill nigh unto demli, recovered to move about again. A westward bound trala, Thill**:.l morning., had car load of new army recruit: en rotate for the EntEau country. The beauty of Mr. James Green's pro;tet fy on Church street, has been greatly eolninad by the addition of a neat portico. - Don't throe• your orange peel on the pave ments. A lire long injury may be sustained by some one - by your carelessness. Nearly all of our small urchins delight to "rattle ;le bones," some of whom hare become quite dextrous in the handling of them. The Lrader says that the East Ilroa,l .1) flailroad does as much business as any l,ra Lich on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad. Notwithstanding we had a six-inch z:/lk,W Tuesday morning, no cutters or sleds were Wit, owing to the soft condition of the streets. Just mind it. Old Boreas will come sweep ing along with his storms of wind and snow just at the time we ought to hare Spring. "Peace in the Family." You can enjoy a good night's rest and retain peace in the family by keeping Dr.• Bull's Baby Syrup in the house. The pews hare been put in the lecture room of the new Baptist church. Scrvices win be held as soon as the paint and plastering are dry. S. E. Russell, fo‘rmerly of Birmingham, this county, but now of Tyrone, had a stroke of paralysis, Sunday. Ills right side was parl lyzed. The shovel brig:ole was out on Tuesday morning, using their little i►oes, shovels, and scrapers. There was quite an :truly of them. See that the locks of the doors and shutters of your smoke houses are in good condition, ere the night marauder makes a descent on them. The residence of Mrs. Maj. John Brotherline, of Hollidaysburg, was burglarized, on Friday night, and a dozen and a half of silver spoons stolen. The religious services held in some of our au relies during the past week were reasonably well attended, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. Corner of Fifth and Alloglieny streets is the loafing place after night fill fur a number of small boys, the which is a nuisance that ought to be abated. A Clearfield county man moulded 9000 9-inch brick in one day, recently. And what num ber can Huntingdon moulders pan out in ten hours' work ? There are several splendid specimens of sleighs in "ye ancient borough," but we are afraid their owners will have no chance to show off in them. Successful business men have enemies, and the way they gain their success is by adver tising. The columns of the JorrsxAL are open to you, business tuan. Mercantile Appraiser Thomas G. Isenberg, esq., was doing Huntingdon this week and completed the town on Wednesday. He is a very clever gentleman. The fee for arresting a tramp is 25 cents for the person making the arrest. The magistrate who commits them also gets the same amount. Mileage is also allowed. The printers of Altoona have decided in the affirmative to indulge in a "square" meal to morrow night, Saturday, in cotumernoration of the birth of Franklin. From the Tyrone Herald we may infer that a number of Blaic county monied men are in our county making arrangements to de velop our iron ore wealth. Sunday beinz a pleasant day the boys took possession of the nursery ground at the corner of Moore and Seventh streets. And they had a right jolly time of it, too. The attendance at Court this week is main ly made up of the citizens of our own county, with here and there a stranger from another part of the Commonwealth. Postal cards spoiled in addressing or print ing are redeemable by tl,e postmaster under a recent law, just as Government stamped en velopes have been for years. A series of religious meetings were com menced in the let M. E. church, Sunday night, to be kept up for some time if an awakening among sinners is manifested. One man in Bedford, thus far. has shipped seven hundred bushels of apples to Baltimore, and expects to ship seven hundred bushels more before the winter is over. Mr. Philip Lowe, a passenger engineer on the Middle Division, and well known to a number of our people, is off of duty on ac count of congestion of the liver. We have the "boss" egg in this bailiwick. It was dropped by one of our blooded Bralimas, on Tuesday, and measures 81 inches in cir cumference, and weighs 31ounces. The Morrison House, on Allegheny street, is now undergoing repairs, as it will be oc cupied after April Ist, by Mrs. Berkstresser, who intends keeping a boarding house. On what day of the year was Ben. Franklin born ? (Jar almanac says the lfith of Janua ry, whilst some of contemporaries claim the 18th. The craft had better read his life. An English physician cites instances with in his experience when tha boxing of chil dren's ears by parents have resulted in deaf ness. You ain't that kind of parent, are you 7 The colored citizens of Altoona, since they have been denied a chance to walk with their white brethren on the 23d of February, are talking of a walking match among themselves. The prospects for a steam fire engine in our neighboring town of Bedford,are not at all flat tering, the gross receipts of the festival held during the holidays, only aggregated about $4OO. .Mrs. Sally Smith, an aged lady of West Huntingdon ; Thursday night, fell down a flight of cellar steps, injuring herself so severely that she has been confined to her bed ever since. Miss Annie Snare, only dauOiter of our friend, Henry Snare. esq., returned home on Sunday evenina, alter a live months' jaunt through the West. She looks improved in health. Altoona marksmen will accept the Ilan tingdon markmen's challenge to shoot for $lOO per side. Three men will represent each side, and the date will be fixed hereafter.—Altoona Tribune. Now that the wells and cisterns are filled up again, every one should be satisfied, but our chronic grumblers say we have had too much rain, and the only reason they can give is that it makes mud. Outsiders crowd the bar in the court room to the great inconvenience of the legal lights, some of whom we have seen compelled to take a seat on the steps of the Judges' bench.— Don't crowd the lawyers. A teacher in one of our public schools the other day told one of her pupils to draw a horizontal line, whereupon lie drew a line with the picture of a horse standing upon it. Moral—speak plain to children. Township supervisors are required by law to repair approaches to county bridges, pro vided the expense thereof does not exceed $lO in each case. In neglecting this matter su pervisors are liable to a fine of $2O. Last week the water "suckers" bad a chance to turn hand springs oil fishermen's nets ; this week the land "suckers - will take a hand in "flip-flopping" in and out of the several bar rooms. Don't be "sucked in" by them. There were thirty-two applicants for the appointment of steward of the Blair county Alms house, and as there was just one to be appointed, thirty-one were disappointed. The old steward, Mr. Shenefelt, was retained. Mr. W. H. Schwartz of the Hollidaysburg Standard has been recommended by the Com mittee on Permanent Certificates of Blair county, to the State Department, as a proper person to receive a permanent certificate. A crowd of nabobs, consisting of the Presi dent, Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent of the Louisville & Nashville R. R., passed through town, in a special car attached to the Atlantic Express east, one evening last week. The Bellefonte Republican says that some of the young men of that place are immensely taken with one of Huntingdon's accomplished daughters. Her name is Miss Maggie Armitage, who is at present visiting Mrs. Lawrence Brown. The Tribune says our friend Jno. M. Stone broker is making a vigorous canvass for the Republican nomination for Mayor. We trust that be will be nominated and elected, as he has the ability and get up to govern the Moun tain city. t':.i •ts ()..: - .ly and Douglass, of the Ute til by other ellic-fs itad braves, w,it on :tit early trnin on Sunday morn tag, 6JI roa:e for WAsliington, witither they go !or the purpose of haviag a tali: with the "great fa: 1 .ler."

Bedford i 3 too old fogy to do any thing for its own good. ly Monday morning Mrs. MeClay, who resides on Church street. whilst in the act of descending one of the stairways in her dwell ing, slipped, and fell the entire length of them, severely sprainin:f her left shoulder auC. arm, and sustaining other bruises. Gen. Kilpatrick lectured in Bedford on Mon day and Tuesday nights of last ueek, and the pople of that staid old town were highly pleased with his "Sherman's March to the sea," and "Incidents and Scenes on the Bat Ile Field," the titles of his lectures. An explosion of gas occurred in a dwelling house in Altoona, owned by John B. Wesley, on Thursday morning. The only damage sus tained was the scattering of a portion of the lath and plastering, and badly scarring several workmen who were at work in another part of the building. A leak was the cause. Our clever friend, B. Frank Isenberg, esq., is suffering from the effects ofa surgical opera tion performed on his face one day last week. The operation was performed by Dr. Weistling, and consisted in the cutting out ofa tumor on the side of his face which had been growing there for a considerable length of time. Our friend, Dr. M. Ti. Evans, of Donation, we are sorry to . learn, has not recovered from the severe injury sustained in falling from an apple tree some three months since, and is only able to move around on crutches. He has our sympathies in his misfortune and our hopes for his speedy and eutire recovery. It is said that Singer, the great sewing ma chine inventor, got his first ideas of the ma chine from reading the newspapers. Here's a chance, now. The price of "the handsomest and best paper in the county" is only $2 a year, and every one who reads it may make a sewing machine—if they want to and ,know how. The bogus check man is on his rounds.— Ins game is to go to a store, look at goods, and have what he wants laid to one side, un til pay day, when he calls and presents a check larger in amount than the bill of goods, saying he received his check too late to go to bank to have it cashed. Co slow with such fellows! A number of men left Monday morning for Lloydsville, to work on the Bell's Gap Exten sion, on which there are now over one hun dred and fifty men engaged. P. S. They have returned, and with them brought a sample of the bread given to the workmen, which is sour and stale enough to give a man, clad with an iron stomach, the dyspepsia in its severest tbrnt. Miss Clara M. Coleman, of the celebrated Coleman S:sters, a younz lady well known in our community, and a niece of our townsman, Mr. William Lewis, was married to a Mr. James Curtin, of Houston, Texas, at Rushville, In diana, recently. Our congratulations are ex tended to the fair bride, with the hope that her Curtin may never go down with the troubles of this life. Mary Love, a motherless child between four and five years of age, was sent from Newville, Clinaberhnd county, to Indiana, this State, without escort, money or provisions, lately. Au inscription was found on her breast telling who she was and where she was going, and signed by Geo. A. Crocker, who, if guilty, ought to be puni-lied severely for his heart less act. It is presumed the child reached its destination salely. The Juniata Minstrels will appear on the boards at Nimbus' ball this evening. The pro ceeds of this exhibition are to be given to W. E. Port, who was so terribly maimed on the railroad, in this place, a few weeks ago, and this tact alone should insure the "boys" a crowded house. The young man is in needy circumstances, and the Juniatas deserve credit for their ehT,rts to assist him in "keeping the wolf from the door." The "walkists" of Huntingdon county will now have a chance to show what kind of ma terials they are in :de of, as it has been de cided by the committee of the Altoolaa Vigi lant Fire Company having the walking match in hand, to permit any white male citizen of Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon counties— the number not to exceed twelve—to enter the race, to come off on the 231 of February. So now enter your names, and win laurels. Ex Sheriff W. B. Zeigler, of Huntingdon, father of our townsman, Geo. H. Zeigler, esq., has leased for a term of fifteen years, the ore lands of Beck Bros. and Downing, in Half Moon township, this county. The tract is said to be one of the best deposits of hematite ore in this part of the State, and the ore well adapted to the manufacture of Bessemer steel. Operations will be commenced as soon as the weather will permit.—Philipsturg Journal. A few evenings since two of Huntingdon's fair daughters had occasion to go to an out house for something, we won't say what, and had scarcely entered the door of the building when both sprung back with a scream, and started for the house, turning somersaults through the mud, the whole way back. The reason given for their strange action was that they saw a man, whereupon a search was made, but their bird had flown away, and no one was found. But, oh, my oh, what clothes they had to clean the next morning, on account of their needless timidness. 11 all parts of lluntiug(ljn there are unoc cupied tenant houses, shops and buildings and vacant lots where the sidewalks are sel dom if ever cleaned after a fall of snow. This neglect is an inconvenience to every pedes trian, except the owner of such property, who lives distant from it, and don't seem to care whether the pavement is cleared of its weight of snow or not. This is unfair to people liv ing near, who are compelled to wade through the snow aid slush. The proper person should report this neglect, and see that one and all, whether owners or tenants, clean their side walks of snow. On Fri lay last a party of Altoonians, who are about to -tart in business, bought from Mr. William March the whole of the machinery, engine, boiler, &c., of the late Stewart, March & Co.'s planing mill, in West Huntingdon.— The planing uill, which is a two-story brick building, is now offered for sale cheap for the purpose for which it was built, and we hope some of our business men will be led to pur chase it and start up manufacturing. It is a settled fact, which no one can deny, that if we want business to boom in our town, as it is elsewhere, we must have manufactories. Here is a good chance I Will you take it up? Shortly before Christians two young ladies of this city visited Huntingdon. They re turned home in a few days and after their ar rival received a box from Huntingdon per Adams' Express. Upon removing the lid it was discovered that the box was filled with saw-dust with a cigar box in the center. The cigar box was opened and found to contain two of the cutest little babies imaginable.— The young ladies only told one person about it and that's how it got out.—Altoona And will it leak out who were the senders of "two of the cutest little babies imaginable" is what is worrying two of our town young gentlemen. WATERLOO, lowa, Jan. 25, 1379. I was taken with an acute attack of Rheu• matism last fall, and confined to bed. At first employed a physician, without benefit; then sent to Wangler Bros.' Drug Store, and ohnoned a bottle of ST. JACOBS Oct, the use of which soou gave me relief, and cured me of the attack. I can safely recommend it to all suffering with Rheumatism.

Reported for the Joras.u. by Q. W. WAr.m.., Esq.] COURT PROCEEDINGs —Court opened on Monday without anything occurring out of the usual routine. The criminal calendar this week was quite short, and the Grand Jury finished their were on Tueeday. The first c.i tried :1 , :14 a civil isaui he: weea Thoinas K. [bugler:: in, late sheriff, vs John W. Mattert. This was an action brouelit to re . cover the d,tl' ,reece between a bid made by Mr Mat:ern at a s.teriffe sale of real estate, Which a prOperl:," in this town was knocked down to him, and the price at which the: one property was afterwards re-sold by the sheriff, upon Mr. M avera's re fuse! to pay the amount of his bid. The defense relied upon the tiu disputed fact that the sheriff's terms of sate specified that payment was to be rondo at the sale, and upon default the property would be put up immediately, and re-sold, whereas in this case the short 11 did not re-sell the property for several da y s after, a non-compliance by the sheriff with his terms of sale which the defendant claimed relieved him from respon sibility. The case really turns upon this point, so that the jury were relieved from the task of deciding upon the conflicting testimony ad duced. The Court directed a verdict for the plaintiff for $151.80, the difference between the bids at the two sales, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the point of law raised by defendant, which was reserved by the Court. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Samuel Hirne, George [lime, Win. Nevil, Samuel Nevil. George Nevil,Benjamiu Rimes,William Himes, Robert Rogers and Powell Seibert, who were indicted for riot, affray, disturbing a social meeting, unlawful assembling, and assault and battery, was cailed up on Monday afternoon and concluded on Wednesday morning. The charge of the Commonwealth in the case was to the effect that on the evening of last Christ- • mas the Presbyterians of Mt. Union held a festival in their church basement, for the pur pose of raising money to pay their church debt ; that shortly after the opening of the festival, six or seven of the defendants, by concerted action, invaded the festival, and with curses and outrageous conduct, within the:church walls, utterly broke up the festival, went out in the street, broke lamp posts and fences, raised a general melee in the street for half au hour, and alarming citizens for a dis tance of over a square away. It was shown that about 7 o'clock that evening Samuel [limes, Ben [limes, Wm. Himes, Robert Rogers, Geo. Nevil, NV m. Nevil and Samuel Nevil made their appearance at the festival ; that about the same time Win. Bollinger, Samuel Swine and Johnson Maxwell came in; that Maxwell, who was quite drunk, persisted in getting up a quarrel with Rogers ; that Bollinger and Swine attempted to get their companion away, and after a little while—some of the defendants engaging in a bye play with a Mr. Coulter, charging him with assisting to strip a widow of her property—all went out, and several en counters took place upon the street. Dr. Gallaher, one of the Commonwealth witnesses, described the scene when he arrived there as one of great confusion, noise, swearing and fighting. George Rogers was holding his brother Robert, while his antagonist, Johnson Maxwell was kept at bay by another crowd. Upon the Doctor suggesting to have Robert removed and the combatants separated,George drew his fist and swore at the Doctor, telling him to talk to the other crowd, others cried out, "Let them atone—let them fight I" and in a moment they were together, rolling in the ditch. Upon the Doctor attempting to inter. fere he was drawn back by the Nevils, and thus the affray was encouraged. Ben Himes was moving around briskly, encouraging the fight. Wm. Bollinger attempted to interfere and got into a fight with the Nevils, and so the fight went ou until the Doctor brought a constable upon the scene. The testimony on both sides was very voluminous, but it was enlivened now and then by flashes of humor, as when Wm. Nevil, one of the defendants, was on the stand describing the fight from his point of view. "When I went out to see who was fighting there was Maxwell fighting Bob Rogers, and Geo. Rogers proposed to me to separate them—there wasn't anybody making any efforts to separate them. Dr. Gallaher stood there with his bands down and a grin on his face, and 'peared very anxious fur the fight to go on." Question by Mr. Speer.—" How long did the grin remain on the Doctor's face?" Witness—"Oh, I don't know, he just stood there." Mr. Speer—" And didn't move ?" . . . ill i l% IZII T can ii ib;setublt.d Witness— "Oh, certainly, he must have moved, or he would be etanduzg there yet." Another time the witness described how, after the fight, when George [limes came upon the ground, the witness understood that he wes expected to fight him and took off his coat and advanced towards . Rimes, but stop ped upon [limes threatening to shoot, and saying he didn't want to fight, when the fol lowing dialogue ensued : By Mr. Speer—When George said "Wait, or I'll shoot you," what did you do ? Witness- 1 4 said I could shoot too." Mr. Speer—" Were you afraid of him?" Witness—" No. I thought he was like my self, that he had nothing to shoot with." Mr. Speer--Then, after making such a dem onstration, taking off your coat and rushing at him, why did you come to a stop so sud denly after reaching him ?" Witness—Why, I—l of course I wash t go ing to run clean through him ! The jury, after being out three hours and a half, brought ip a verdict finding Win. Nevil, Samuel Nevi!, George Nevil, Benjamin Hines, Robert Rogers and Powers Seibert guilty of riot ; George Hines guilty of affray, and Sam'l Hicesand Wm. Ilimes guilty of Assault and Battery. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Harvey Gilliland. Indicted for an assault and battery upon three young girls, neighbors of his, was taken up Wednesday noon and its trial occupied the whole of the afternoon, resulting in a verdict of not guilty, and that the de fendants pay one half the costs and the coun ty the other half. Wednesday evening's session was occupied in the trial of the case of the Commonwealth vs. Robert Thompson, indicted for an assault and battery upon John Calvin Laird, a sou of R. A. Laird, esq., of Porter township. Young Laird testified that while taking his father's c)ws out of Thompson's barn yard, where they bad been enclosed by Mrs. Thompson for an alleged tresspass, Thompson came out into the yard, rushed up behind him with an oath and felled him to the ground with a blow of his fist, afterwards beating him very severely. Thompson testified that lie warned Laird not to enter his barn yard before he got near it, that Laird acted violently in opposition to his command and when Thompson attempted to make him desist by force, Laird raised a wagon whip which Thompson mistook for a club, and in self defense he struck Laird once or twice. In rebuttal a large number of citi zens of Porter township were called who tes tified that Thompson's reputation for truth was bad, and what the people say of him, es pecially since his troubles with Laird, they would not believe him on oath. On the other hand a large number of citizens of Hunting don, where Thompson formerly lived, as well as citizens of Porter township, testified in the very strongest terms in his favor, one witness going so far as to declare that he did not be lieve that it was possible to impeach Thomp son's character excepting by the gentleman who conducted the prosecution. The case was given to the jury et a late hour on Wednes day evening. On Thursday morning the jury returned a verdict of guilty, in manner and form as indicted, and recommended the de fendant to the mercy of the Court. BEWARE OF BCOUS LETTERS —A _Yew Swindle to Catch Simple and Dishonest Persons. —A new swindle is reported as being perpe trated by "artful dodgers" in some of the rural districts of this State. The send a letter written in the ftmiliar tone r ot an old acquaintance, reminding the recipient that when he left their boarding house he owed a little bill, possibly $2. ° lle is further inform ed that they can readily sell the jewelry, whieh among other things, he left behind in a satchel, for $2O or $3O. If he will remit the $2 they will send him the satchel and con tents. The gullible one knows well that he never possessed such property, nor boarded in such a place, but he is willing to quietly obtain some other person's valuable jewelry, and therefore sends the $2. lie receives nothing. This swindle is based solely upon the idea that a large percentage of the people are by nature dishonest enough to take that to which they have not the slighest just claim, if they have the chance. People that are beaten by the trick are served exactly right. There Is not the slighest danger that they will put officers of the law upon the track of the swindlers. Shame will keep them from exposing their own intentions.—Altoona Tri bunt. BABY SAVED !—We are so thankful to say that our baby was permanently cured of a dangerous and protracted irregularity of the bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its mother, which at the same time restored her to perfect health and strength.—The Parents, Rochester, N. Y. See another column. jan.l6-2t. "MIDNIGHT nECHANICS" ABOUT.—As the nights of last week were dark, and the kind that robbers delight to do their work in, the gentry took occasion to give us the fol lowing local items: A Raid on a Shoemaker Shop.—On Friday night some villain or villains with intent to look after the business affairs of Mr. Anton Langer, broke into his shoemaker shop on lifi'Ln street, and stole a pair of new boots, several pairs of gaiters add shoe:, which bad been left with him for repairs, a lot of leather nr.d a number of other articles. An entrance was effgeted through the front window, the upper sash being taken out fur that purpose. As Mr. Langer recently started in business and is a poor man, this loss will be extremely hard un him. A "Racket" on a Contractor's o) Fce.—On the same night, a gang of cracksmeu made an at tempt to break lett) the office of the I'eniten tiary Contractors, near the new penitentiary site. In their efforts to force their way into the building they made considerable racket which alarmed persons living near, who has tened to the spot and scared the scamps away. It is reported, however, that after the neigh bors had gone home, one of the gang, who in his fright had found his way into the cellar, was seer► crawling out of one of the windows, and thus ma le his escape. 4 Successful Burglary.—Ou the same night the residence of Carey Diffenbrxch, near the gas house, was entered by some one in the early evening, during the absence of the family, and about s7 . stolen from the premises. The thief gained an entrance through one of the windows. Attempted Robbery by a Tramp.—Oa Satur day night au attempt was made to enter the residence of Capt. Brice X. Blair, on Fourth street, but the would-be thief was scared off before he succeeded in making an entrance. During the day, a tramp made a call at the house and was given a square meal, and it is supposed he was the scamp who had returned to repay Mr. Blair for the kindness done him during the day. As stealing appears to be the orier of the day, or rather of the night, in this community, we think that now is the time to spend a lit. tie cash in good revolvers and bull dogs, and thus be prepared to give intruders who prowl around at unusual hours of the night, a warm reception. Be on the alert and catch the rascals. SHERIFF'S SALES.--On Friday last, Sheriff Irvin held his usual levee at the Court House, and as the town clock tolled one, he commenced to bid off the properties he held for sale.

KIND WORDS.—The following comu,u nication, coming as it does from a former cit izens of this place, and one who was univer sally known and esteemed as a highly intelli gent and respectable Christian gentleman, we deem worthy of publication, not f , r the pur pose of renewing what has so far been a oae sided contest so much as that of vindicating the course which we have pursued in the mat ter, and of showing what the unbiased opinion of the Christian community is in regard to the subject : Mr. J. A. NASH, ED. JOURNAL.—My Dear Sir : If it will afford jou the least particle of pleas ure, you are quite welcome to know that it seems to me altogether unreasonable that you, or the JOURNAL, for you are both one, should be assailed touching your action in that camp meeting matter. Is a man of refined, or, what is the same thing, genuine Christian feeling, to be compelled to witness and endure dis graceful scenes upon public highways, invol ving the character of communities and families in which he has a personal interest, and be bound to hold his peace tor fear of "soulless corporations,"wh'el would not care a picayune who or what went to the devil, provided its harvests of filthy lucre were not damaged? Or why should not any body of men who con duct public meetings, professedly in the in terest of the people at large, receive with pleas ure, and with thanks, the public, espectful criticisms of any intelligent person who chose to take the time and trouble to bring dis graceful hindrances to the notice of the parties most interested? "Gioia" has certainly con• ducted his case, in this instance, with con spicuous good-temper and ability. You have only done your proper part as a journalist in aiding to preserve and purify the public mor als ; and surely some one (perhaps more than one) needs to find out that this is not a healthy country for men who try to stifle any holiest, manly utterance in the interest of so ciety at large, by threats, impertinent "de mands," or bulldozing of any kind. Stand to your guns, my friend, and if the enemy don't soon surrender or retire, make them understand that, if need be, you can spell your last name with G, for the first letter. Very truly, yours, A FREE LECTURE ON ODD FELLOW SHIP.—There will be a free lecture delivered in the Court House in Huntingdon, Pa., on Tuesday evening, January 27th, 1880, by Rev. J. J.

LITERARY NOTES Peterson's Magazine for February is already on our table, ahead, as usual ; and even more beautiful, in some respects, Iliac the January one. The double-sza colored fashion plate ; the Huta trated story, "Alice Gray'= Trial;'' and come new and exquisite designs in Japanese embroidery, including a colored pattern, are among these. Tee stories ar ;iii remarkably good. Mrs. Burnett's "Fat: Barbarian," is continued, and is briediter luau ever. "Lost." by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, is the best novel even site has writtea tor years. We have so often praised 'Peterson," !hat it is almost useless to do it again. We can imagine notbine; better in the way of a lady's magazine. When we remember that it con tains, every year, about 1,000 pages ; 14 superb steel engravings ; 12 double-sized colored steel fashion plates ; 12 Berlin, or other col ored patterns ; and some 903 wood engravings, the wonder is how so much, and of such excellence, can be given for only two dollars a year. And to clubs the prices are even lower. Premiums, too, are given to persons getting up clubs. Every lady ought to take this magazine, no matter what else she takes ; it seems to us it must be indispensable. Now is the time to subscribe. Specimens are sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up clubs. Back numbers from January can always be supplied. Address, CHAS. J. PEPERSON, 306 Chestnut St. Philadelphia.

LOCAL CLIPPINGS.- From 'Squire Bence's Local Paper we clip the following : The revival meeting at Saltillo is still pro gressing with interest. J. Frank Corbin, esq., is at his borne at Waterfall, quite ill with lung disease. Willson Everil has opened a nice vein of hematite ore, on his farm in Cass township. Lcm Cornelius has purchased a $l5OO Steam saw mill, which he is having placed in position on the Iludson's lands adjoining this borough. An unusual amount of sawed lumber, rail road ties, and straps are being shipped from this station. The most of which are brought here on wagons from Fulton county. The East Broad Top Railroad Company are taking up the iron rails on their road and re placing them with new ra•ls that ate ten pounds to the yard heavier than the old ones. Judge fleeter recently received a letter from a candidate, addressed : "mr A Dam fleeter esq thre Springs, Huntingdon Co." Dr. W. S. Madden, recently performed the operation for Entroption, by the removal of a V shaped portion of the integament of inferior eyelid, of an infant of W. 11. Duffey, of this place. The job was skillfully done, and the child is doing well. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—Our public schools, in which we all feel a deep interest, as in them mere than ninety six per cent. of our youth receive their education, are them selves, if we are to trust our own observation, and our own experieuce and the testimonrof distinguished men and educators in diffdrent and widely separated parts of our country, not in advance of our higher institutions. They, too, move in the old rut. There is the great multiplicity of books, annually changed, and there are elegant and commodious edifices. But neither good books nor fine buildings nor both combined, will make good or pro gressive schools. The best schools may be found in poor buildings, with the old school books and with live,intellectual teachers, who can impart instruction without constant recourse to the text-books to learn the question and answer. They have the knowl edge and capacity to impart it. Brains, not bricks or books, make the school.—Dr. George Woods. LIMIT OF LIABILITY OF RAILROADS.— The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rendered an important decision on Monday last, fixing the limit of the liability of the Pennsylvania railroad for damages in case of death by an accident at $5,000. Stephen Langdon was killed in a railroad accident near Pittsburgh in 1877, and his widow sued the company for $20,000 damages. The Allegheny County Court gave her a verdict fur $5,712, and the company appealed on the ground that under the act of 1868 there could be no recovery greater than $5,000. The new Constitution provides that there shall be no limit to the amount for injury, but the Pennsylvania rail road contended that they had never accepted the provisions of the new Constitution, and therefore are not amenable to any legislation under it. The Supreme Court decided in favor of the claims of the railroad company.— Altoona Tribune. Is Your Hair Falling, or Turning Gray?
