George limes, besides being called the
"boss" rioter in Mt. Union, can also add "jail

Fort Irvin, where he was serving a 93 days'
sentence, last Wednesday evening, by placing
several barrels on end, one on the top of the
other, and scaling the yard wall. If caught
and returned to his quarters, the county might
be compensated for its trout,le by hiring him
out to Barnum as a successful acrobat.
Altoona claims to have the best band in
the State.—Altoona paper. Guess they never
heard the Cbambersburg boys blow.—Chatn-
Lersburg Repository. As this is as much as to
say that the Altoona band can't blow with the
Chambersburgers, let Jule Neff and his com
rades, of Altoona, don their armor, and go for
these •blowers." We opine that after Jule is
through with them they will crawl into their
little holes and draw them iu after them.
The revival meetings are still in progress
at the Methodist church and West Huntingdon
Chapel. The interest of these meetings seem
to be on the increase rather than oa the de
cline, as night after night numbers present
themselves at the altar of prayer. They have
already resulted in much good to this com
munity, as quite a number have been hopefully
converted, to use the church phrase. The in
dications are that the ingathering will be
large, and we trust the good work will con
tinue.
Last week we stated that Mr. James Mc-
Callan, of Hollidaysburg, had a linen shirt in
his possession, made by Aunt Kitty Kurtz,

forms the local of the Standard that in addi
tion to the one mentioned above, "he is the
proud possessor of two other linen shirts
which were made for him" by a Mrs. Reed, in
1833. We urge the Altoona S'un's advice and
that is for Mr. McCahan to get three other
shirts for surely after nearly fifty years wear
ing they must be nearly tailbiss.
On Tuesday night of last week, at Houtz
dale. Clearfield county, Frank Ferrier stabbed
Martin Labolli, both Frenchmen, in the bow
els from which he died on Thursday. It
seems that Ferrier was a boarder at La
bolli's house, and after the latter and his wife
had gone to bed, Ferrier gained an entrance
to the room and took hold of the wife, when
Labolli tried to put him out, and in passing
wit of the door, Ferrier plunged a knife into
him, leaving out his entrails. Ferrier made
his escape, but there are officers after him.
Mr. William Chenowitb, a horse dealer of
Bedford, whilst in Philadelphia, the otl e •
day, was drugged and robbed of $lOO and a
draft for $400.00. Mr. C.. while walking down
one of the streets of the City of Brotherly Love,
was accosted by a stranger, who called him
by name, and after inquiring after the health
of several prominent business men of Bedford,
was invited to accompany him to his office
and "sample" some teas he had for sale. He
did so, and as the teas were heavily drugged,
lie became unconscious., and met with the loss
above stated. No clue to the sharpers. This
is au old trick that sharpers play, but it was
successfully- played on Mr. Chenowith, who
will hereafter keep shy of strangers, especially
in strange cities.
Quite a number of our contemporaries are
in error in sayiug that Rev. R. C. Black, of
Mill Creek, received the injury from which he
now suffers, qa few days ago, by sitting down
upon a nail." It is now over five months
since Mr. Black was injured. On the 4th day
of September last he was in attendance at the
Baptist Association, which met in Altoona,
and received his injury on that day while
attempting to secure a seat. lie entered one
of the scats, which was already pretty well
filled, but se , ing'room for one more spectator
he attempted to sit down, nod in doing so the
end of his spinal co:unsn was fractured by
coming iu contact with the end of the bench.
The injury is a serious one, and one which
will require a great length of time and careful
nursin, to cure. The latest intelligence is
that the patient is convalescing slowly.
A week or two ago, the city of Altoona was
sued by some West Chester people to recover
unpaid interests on coupons on the city water
bonds due July Jet and January Ist, 1880.—
Part of the interest bad been paid, but the
\Vest Chester holders became impatient and
want the balance at once, therefore entered
suit. The mode of procedure will be to at
tach the moneys of the city, and whatever
amount of the water fund that may be in the
hands of the receiver, and if this is done, the
of the city government will Le lucked,
as no moneys will be paid to others until the
demands of these creditors are satisfied. The
amount owieg is not stated, but must be a
good round sum if the municipal government
can be interfered with. If Altoona can't pay
the interest, let alone her debts, she might as
well stop putting on "city airs" and come
down to her means and live within them.

MORE ABOUT THE NAIL CUTTER OF
EARLY DAYS.—In our issue of the 9th ult., we
re-published two items culled from two of the
Altoona dailies in reference to "Nail Cutting
in Early Days." and as one of them gave the
credit to William Deane, a citizen of Alexan
dria, this county, in long ago, we asked the
question if any of the oldest inhabitants could
give us any information concerning the matter,
which brought the following from James
Deane, sou of the original William Deane, the
first person to cut nails by machinery in Cen
tral Pennsylvania : "I can inform you that
William Deane came from Dauphin county to
Alexandria in 1812. He purchased a house
and lot, where he commenced at once to
manufacture and sell nails. Mr. Deane came
from Derry county, Ireland, to this country,
many years before this time, in company with
two of his brothers, John Scott, Alexander
Stitt and Wm. Dorris, all old residents of this
county. Yours, Respectfully, JAMES DEANE,
son of William Deane.
From this we can suppose that the first
nails cut by hand machine in Central Penn
sylvania, was in the year 1812—sixty-eight
years ago.

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENTS SAY,
To Grand Jurors and Traverse Jurors
of the Criminal Courts.
EDITOR OF TIIE JOURNAL :-As we are ali
liable at any moment to be thrown in a posi
tion where the safety of our own persons, our
lives, and property, and reputations, may all
depend upon the decision of a • jury, we think
it but just and proper to address a few worls
to those who have been, or may hereafter be,
drawn as jurors for this county, or ekewlier,
A number of verdicts, rendered recently in our
criminal courts have led the writer to believe
that many jurors lose sight of the fearful res
ponsibility that rests upon them. We do not
charge them with wilfully violating their oaths
but we do believe when they get into the jury
room many of them forget the solemn oath that
they have taken. Here met he oaths taken by
the jurors. Oath of Foreman of Grand Jury :
"You do swear, that as foreman of this grand
inquest, you will diligently inquire, and true
presentment make, as well of all such matters
and things as shall be given you in:charge, as of
those things which you shall know to be pre •
sentable here—the Commonwealth's counsel,
your fellows, and your own, you shall keep
secret—you shall present no one from envy,
hatred, malice or ill will ; neither shall you
have any one unpresented through fear, favor,
affection, reward, gain or any hope thereof,
but you shall present all things truly as they
come to your knowledge, to the best of your
understanding, so help you God."
Oath of the other Jurors : "You, and each
of you, do swear that the same oath which
your foreman bath taken to observe and keep
on his part, you and every one of you will well
and truly observe and keep on your part, so
help you God."
The obove is the regular form of oath taken
by Grand Jurors. There is a great deal in it,
it is lengthy, and I ask the intelligent reader
how much of this oath the average juror will
remember after he gets into the jury room.
Perhaps not the one-fourth part of it. I would
suggest that every publisher of a paper in the
county, publish this oath and also the oath
taken by Traverse Jurors in criminal cases,
that we shall hereafter name. If this was
done, perhaps every juror in the county would
have a copy of the oath he will be required to
take when he comes into court, and let him
either commit it to memory or clip it out and
take it to court with him, so that when they
go to make up their verdict they can at any
time refer to the oath they have taken, or
what might perhaps be better, the Commis
sioners of the county have the oath's of jurors
printed, and let the clerk of the court fill out
the oath to suit the case on trial, and when
the jury are sent oat to make up their verdict
let the clerk give each juror a copy of the oath
he has taken in the case. I make these sug
gestions,
believing if this plan was adopted,
we would have more justice in our courts.
Grand Jurors, latterly, in this county, have
tried to make themselves popular by ignoring
bills, and making the prosecutors pay the
costs. The constitution and laws of this com
monwealth guarantee protection to every cit
izen, in their person and property. A weak
man is assaulted and badly beaten by a strong
er one; he is entirely unable to protect him
felf; he brings his action in court and the
grand jury after hearing his case, in defiance
of the constitution and laws of this common•
wealth, declare that be shall not be protected,
and not that alone, but they will punish him
for bringing his action into court, they will
make him pay the costs and learn him and
others to settle their little assault and battery
cases at home, and not put costs on the
county. Some eight or ten years ago. if any
one had committed an assault and battery
upon the writer he would have had no fears
of bringing an action in court for redress, but
the way grand juries have been deciding cases
latterly, if I was knocked down on the streets
by a ruffian and beaten almost to death, I
would exceedingly fear bringing my suit into
court, fearing the grand jury would ignore the
bill and make me pay the costs, or failing to
do so, imprison me. The action of grand
juries in this county, for several years back,
(with a few exceptions), has been as tyrannical
as ever was the reign of Nebuchadnezzar.
"Whom they would, they set up, and whom
they would they put down."
Now, least the reader may think we are com
plaining without sufficient cause, we will state
a case in point: An assault and battery was
committed upon a woman in this county re
cently. A young woman came to her, where
she was picking berries, assaulted her, struck
uer in the breast with her fist, swore she
would cut her d—d heart out, an,: frightened
the woman very much She went to a justice
of the peace and made information. Tue jus
tice issued a warrant and put it iu the hands
of a constable, but he fail ,, d to arrest the de
fent:ant, and the justLe issued.a second war
rant and put it in the hands of another con
stable. He g !es to arrest the defendant. She,
with revolver in hand, defies the officer, swears
she will shoot any Constable who will attempt
to arrest her. So no arrest is 'nude, but per
haps advised by her friends, she afterwards
goes to a justice in her neighborhood and
gives bail for her appearance at court. The
justice before whom the informatiou was
made, returns his recogniz.ince to court. It is
true and proper that justices of the peace
should settle assault and battery cases if pos
sible, and not have them carried up to high
er courts, but the reader will see that it was
impossible for the justice to settle this case,
as the defendant could not be arrested and
brought before him. So the prosecutrix is
summoned to appear at court and prosecute
her case. She appears with her witnesses
ready for trial, and her case goes before the
grand jury. Now just here I would say it is a
principle in law and equity that a grand jury
can find a bill without examining all the wit
muses, but they cannot ignore a bill in any
case without examining all of the witnesses.
Now, what did this grand jury do in this poor
woman's case? They examined her and ig,•-
nored the bill. She had a number of very
important witnesses, but they called none of
them before them. By the action of this grand
jury this woman was sentenced to pay the
costs of the suit or be imprisoned three months
in the county jail, and as neither she nor her
husband were able to pay the costs, she had
to submit to the latter punishment. The ques
tion is asked why this woman is thus treated?
We answer, because she is poor—no other
reason under the Heavens can be given—she
wore acalico dress, a scuffed bonnet her shoes,
and her entire outfit bespoke her poverty.
She bad lommitred no crime; there were no
charges preferred against her, and there is
nothing to show that she ever violated a law
of this commonwealth in all her life. She
had of her scanty means, (in the shape of
taxes,) paid, or, helped her husband to pay,
the very jury whol sat on this case. She comes
before this jury with no unreasonable request.
She tells them the story of her wrongs and
merely asks them to allow her case to come
into court, that the one who injured her may
be punished and thus detet red from commit
ting like assaults upon her in the future. This
jury deny her just and humble request, and
as a punishment for asking this favor, by
their decision iu the case, send her to jail for
three months I Now in the name of all that is
dear and sacred, has it come to this in Hun
tingdon county? a place noted for its intelli
gence, its schools, and its churches,
that its
citizens will allow a poor woman to be sepa
rated from her family, and incarcerated in our
county prison three mouths, all because she
comes to court and asks protection from one
who has committed an assault and battery on
her person? She is imprisoned three mouths
while the defendant goes home scott free, and
there is no one raises their voice against it.
The question arises, are we North or South
of Mason and Dixon's line ? Will not this com
pare favorably with the worst bulldozing in
the South? Let us imagine for a short time
bow this poor woman was treated before the
grand jury. The-foreman perhaps asked her
gruffly, "flow do you swear?" Alter swearing
her she is allowed to tell her story, and when
She is thro igli we may suppose sonic ques
tions like the following were asked, "Did the
defendant knock you down ?" "Did she draw
blood?" "Were you not worse scared than
hurt?" "You were able to come to court?"
The foreman tells her she can go. He then
asks the jurors what they will do with the
case. Wilt I call any other witnesses? No, no,
no, is heard from every part of the room. We
are down on these little assault and battery
cases and we will ignore the bill and make
her pay the costs, end learn her and others to
keep their little assault and battery cases at
home."
Now let us suppose another case : Had this
poor, innocent woman understood human na—
ture better, and before going before this
grand inquest, gone to some Lluntingdon lady
and borrowed a silk dross, a gold chain, two
or three diamc.nd rings, and a gay bonnet,
and with this gay rig gone before them with
the same case, we imagine the foreman, and
perhaps a half dozen more would have arisen to
their feet, and the foreman, iu a blind, gen
tlernanly manner would have said, "Madame,
bow do you swear ?" "Madame, will you
please go on and make a full statement of
your case to this jury ?" After site is through
a few questions, something like the following:
"She struck you in the breast ?" 'She hurt
you badly?" "When she threatened to cut
your heart out, you felt that your life was la
dancer, did you not?" "No wonder that you
ehon d " The foreman, bowing to the lady,
says "Yon can now retire, Madame." lie fol
lows her to the door and tells the constable
to call another witness, and while they are
waiting on the witnes-3 the writer imagines he
can hear the jurors saying one to the other:
'•1 think we'll li i i n bail in this case without
c-xaminin: - : all the witt:esiei.
LITERARY NOTES --
The Midwinter (Febriviry) S,ribuce u hich
125,000 copies have been printed, to supply tha
growing demand in England and America,) is as
unique in point.; as in the size of the edition.
Toe h o st p:emineat perhaps is the
parer on tOi isoa•a Eleci.ric Light, i t h a,ua.thewa
ttu!an, Mr. Francis R. Upton, which is endorsed
as the "first correct and authoritative" account in
a letter from Mr. Edison, printed in lac-simile, in
this issue of .S'eriboer. The inventor has be nso
often and so greatly misrepresented us holdirg
theories most opposite to his own that it will be
of interest to see just what he is willing to put
himself on record al claiming for the new inven
tion. Fifteen drawings accompany the paper,
including one et the lamp at its exact 9IZe.
Thx first of Mr. Eugene Sehuyler's illustrated
papers, on the life of Peter the Great, given in
this nuinher, covers a wide range of interest,
placing a must faseinati,g historical era clearly
hetoro the reader. In his pre I.tee, Wr. Schuyler
offers to reply to any questieu respecting the
topics he may treat.
Mrs. Burnett's new story, in four parts, entitled
"Louisiana," is a:so begun in this number.
Mr. Cable's "Grandi, , simes" is full of action and
character, and continues to reveil a strong basis
for the high claims which arc wade for it. As an
exposition of Creole ;ife, in the beginning of the
centur, it stems likely to go at once into the
common fund of historical novels.
Two suggestive essays, of more than transient
value, on topics now occupying much attention,
are "Present Phases of Sunday-School Work," by
Rev. Edward Eggleston, and "Ihe Political Out
look," by an anonymous writer. Apropos of the
itaikes Centenary, Mr. Eggleston makes a number
of keen, but friendly criticisms upon popular
methods of conducting Sunday-school work.
A biographical sketch of John Bright is made
timely by his recent speech on America, and by
the revival of political interest in Great Britain.
A rollicking holiday paper, on Bicycling, is
contributed by Mr. Charles E. Pratt, of Boston,
under the caption, "A Wheel around the Hub."
It relates the adventures of a. party of forty riders,
during a two days' run of one hundred miles in
the vicinity of Boston. The drawings in this
paper are unique, and full of "go."
Glarlfry subjects are not forgotten; in fact there
are contributions on this class or topics by three
practical farmers: "Notes of a Walker," by John
Burroughs, "New England Fences" (illustrated),
by Rowland C. Robinson. and "A Southern
Strawberry Farm" (illustrated), by Rev. E. P.
Roe, being the fourth of his series on "Success
with Small Fruits," the remaining two to be de
voted to raspberries, gooseberries, currants and
blackberries.
Mr. Royesert contributes a slant story of Nor
way and Chicago, entitled "A Knight of Duane
brag."
A poem by Charles Is Kay. entitled "Boozy
Little Bat," i 3 illustrated by Kipper, and there
are others by W.
,C. Wilkinson, Marie Mason,
Laura Winthrop Johnson :Lad ~. W. Gilder.
In "Topics of the Time," Dr. Reiland says "A
Word on Politics" (favoring Civil Service:Reform),
and discusse "Temperance Education" and
"Familiarity." A "Communication" from "R.
W. G." discusses the proposed but now abandoned
"Restoration of St. Mark's." The reviews in
clude books of poetry, travel, art, biography,
country life and lexicography. ether subjects
treated are "Roasting," "New Fruit Press,"
"Flour from Chestnuts," "Bridge-building," "The
Audiphone," "The Steering Screw," "Mechanical
Extraction of Cream," "Novel Photo-Printing
Process," "Simple Electrical Signal," and "Glass
Heepers." Among the contributions to the "Brie
a-Brac," are a keen piece of satire called "An
American Sketch," a sonnet by Mr. 11. C. Runner,
and a humorous piece by the late Irwin Russell,
entitled "The Polyphone." Others of Mr Rus
sell's pieces, serious and humorous, are boon to
appear in this department.
Altogether, this number of Scribner is one of
great variety and interest.
The March Scribner w , ll contain the long
looked-for paper on "The Tile Club Afloat," which
is sail to be even better, both in text and pictures,
than "The Tile Club at Play," which was
acknowledged to be the "magazine hit" cf the
last season.
Harper's Magazine fur February is as rich in
illustration and as varied and . entertaining in its
reading-matter as any Number that has ever been
issued. Fur massive strength, Blaekmore's new
novel, "Mary Anerley," deserves first mention.
In every quality that marks a great novel, this is
the most remarkable serial now in course of pub
lic.ition here or abroad. Those who prefer a
lighter novel will turn with pleasure to the chap
ters of Black's "White Wings." Edward Everrett
Hale contributes a short story—" Mr. Keesler's
Horse-Car"—conceived and written in his hap
piest vein. A brief story of thrilling interest,
entitled "A Night in an Avalanche," is contribu
ted by S. 11. M. Byers.
The illustrated articles cover a wide range of
subjects. Howard Pyle writes and illustrates
•Bartrain and his Garden"—an interesting sketch
of an American Quaker botanist of a hundred
years ago, whom Linnteus pronounced the great
est of the then living natural botanists. The
Rev. B. F. De Costa contributes a humorous arti
cle on "Foreign Tips " which furnishes motives
for eight characterist•c pictures by Reinhart.
Mrs. J. W. Davi describes "A Famous Breviary"
—the priceless gem among the art-treasures of the
ducal pelage in Venice—decorated with paintings
by Mewling, Van der Meire, Hugh d'Anvers, and
Lissen de Gaud. Reproductions in wood-engrav
ing of seven of the mutt strikinc; of these pictures
are given. One of the roost interesting articles
th it have ever been written about General Wash
ington is that contributed to this Number by
William F. Came, treating of "Washington as a
Burgher," i. e., in his relations with his fellow
townsmen of Alexandria. The illustrations, a
number of which are drawn by Frank Mayer, are
exceedingly interesting. The Hon. John Bigelow
cuntribut :s an illustrated paper entitled "A Visit
to San Marino," from which it would appear that
the title of "republic," as applied to this province
of Italy, is a misnomer. A. B. Allen contributes
an illustrated description of the "Percberon and
Norman Horse," to the breeding of which so much
attention has recently been given in this country.
A. A. Hayes, Jr„ contributes his series of Colora
do papers, with an entertaining description of the
mining districts of that State, with twelve excel
ient illustrations by Rogers. The Right-Rever
end Arthur Cleveland Coxe contributes a poem
entitled "The Drop-Star," an Indian legend of
Lake Kayutah, in Neiv York, which is beautifully
illustrated by Reinhart.
A timely musical contribution to this Number
is the paper on Hector Berlioz, by Emily Royall.
Among the poems in this Number is one by
James T. Fields, in Lis best vein, entitled "A
Lover's Peril."
Now that Mr. 1. 7 .nt0n has "had his say" about
wood-engraving in a recent 3lagazioe article, and
his still more recent book, "Practical Hints I n
Wasid-Engraving," the reader (especially the
reader of illustrated magazines) will peruse with
eager interest an article in this Number entitled
"A Symposium of Woad Engravers in which some
of the meat distinguished engravers of this (wan
t-y are given a hearing. The article consists of
reports of conversations with A. V. S. Anthony,
T. Cole, John P. Davis, Frederick Juengling, R.
R. Muller, John Tinkey. and Henry Wolf.
The Editor's Ea my Chair renders a graceful
tribute to Oliver Wendell Holmes, apropos of his
recent reception in Boston, and discusses, in a
thoughtful essay, the reaction against Dickens:due
to that author's personal characteristics.

T HE SECOND TIME I SAW II ER.
Firet part of this poem, entitled "Love at First
Sivht," can be had on application at Tower Ball.]
B l y the Bard of Tmrer Bull.
Tuesday last I had a toothache—
Horrible beyond description—
And cold steel was recommended
As the very best prescription,
Sleep I wooed, but, fickle eotid...ss,
Opium could nut cajole her;
I must on some dental altar
Sacrifice the aching molar.
So, I hurried to a dentist;
Reached his office in despair;
Entered—Lo! before me sitting,
In the cushioned dental chair,
Was the maid with golden ringlets
I on Chestnut Street had seen.
She who stole away and left me
In the car at "Twelfth and Green."
Still upon her snowy shoulders
Fell the same bewitching curls;
But, alas! her "lips of coral"
Were'no longer "couched on pearls."
Not a tooth had they to rest on,
And I saw, to my dismay,
That the pearls which blessed my vision
Then upon the snide la l .
She had bad a tooth extracted,
And the pain had made her faint;
From her cheek the rose had vanished (?)
On the toted was some paint!
She was from the swoon reviving,
When, oh ! horror ! Shall I tell?
Through an effort made in sneezing
To the floor her ringlets fell !
On the head, by curls forsaken,
Hair was starting, coarse awl thick,
But the shade ve,s far from yolden,
'Twas the color of a brick,
From my tooth, the pain departing,
Settled in my head and heart,
As no dentist could extract it,
I made up my mind to start,
And I also made my mind up
That when I again did write,
I would caution fellow creatures
'Gainst the drafts of Lore on Siyht.
Trusting that no one will mention
"Priceless Jewel," "Beauty's Queen,"
I can bear to bear of" Twelfth Street,"
But let no one utter—" Green ;"
It may be by some remembered,
And, perhaps, it may by all,
That the "ocean of my paieeion
Swallowed up the Tower Hall."
But the "waves of admiration"
Swell no more the ocean's dry
Tower Hall is still existing,
Where you can your clothing buy—
Where, unlike the bard, you will be
Saftralthouzh you chose on sight,
For the prices are the lowest,
And the garments always right.
