THE HOME .I.IS6IONARY CONVENTIoyi.
—The Home Missionary Convention opened
its session. as per aniwuncement, at the Pres
byterian church, this plait?, lust Thursday
evening, with A. large audience present. Rev.
Sheldon Jackson, D. D., of Colorado, was in
troduced, who gave an interesting account of
the workings of the Presbyterian church in
extreme North-western States and Territories,
and of the great necessity of earnest work in
behalf of the great cause of Home Missions.
In his account of the growth of far west States
he said that during the year 1878, the emigra
tion to Kansas was from 150,000 to 200.-
00, and that Nebraska is growitg matveloi.sly,
it having added, during the year just pact, to
its population, about 10i1,000 -oals, and that
this was the case with other States. After
dwelling for a while on the great need of help
from the Christian churches of the east to
consecrate the mingled population of this
area to a pure and w itoiesoure christianity, he
gave a word picture of the degradation of

wet and*Mississippi, with a climate rangitig
from moderate to extreme cold like our on u.

the people had teachers among them, and they
were taught the Greek religion. but since the
United States has had possession the people
have no teachers of aoy kind. The word
"Alaska," in the language of that people,
means "Great Country.' Ile gave a very in
teresting sketch of its great resources. especi
ally its trade in seal skins, one small is!
alone yielding our goveroment over a milliou
dollars a year. Its population consists of about
50,000 to 100.000 Indians whose religion is a
belief of a "(rood" and "bad" church. Wor
ship is offere ' d to the latter through "hig med
icine man" whose sole power is thought to
consist in the number ofhoiiies of their fellow
men they can devour. Lawlessness is the rule
ing spirit, and the people are not afforded
legal protection. The it-dress throttglmu , tans
listened to with marked attention, and all welit
away satisfied with the words spoken.
At 9.30, on Friday morning, Mrs. F. E. li.
llamas, corresponding secretary of the Wo
men's Executive Committee of Home Missions,
addressed the ladies in behalf
on the subject of won', tar lit Lome nil,-
sious, aid made earnest appeals for the poor
degraded people, afar which Mrs. Captain
Platt gave an interesting account of her work
among the Indians during the past tiree years.
The forenoon session yva. spew by p r . j ac k_
son acswering questions propounded to him
on the subject ail Home N1i,f.M111,4.
At the afternoon sessio;i, Dr. .Ti!-;s,oi ex
posed the degradation of notneii i ill nab, say
leg that she was a most degraded siave, her
life being at the control or her husband, whose
passions had no moral er legal restraint. That
in Alaska, Indian eangloers are sold by their
mothers to the lustful white man, who to a
great extent, continue the degradation of that
people. He said even as wives, in Alaska, Col
orado and Utah, womaeu is a mere beast of
burden. It is the woman who carry the hay
to market, who carry the furs, who are the
beasts of burden fur their hushande; so the
more wives a man has the Lager business he
can carry on. In Alaska chiefs build their
houses by placing the posts on the murdered
bodies of wives ; and 'at their feasts make a
display of their wealth by sacrificing women,
alms showing their wealth and pewee.
This address was listened to by :t large con
gregation. The convention adjourned un Fri
day afternoon.
In closing this fleet, we will report what
the Altoona Sun eats about the convention
and our people :
"The meeting at Huntingdon was the be—
ginning we hope of great results. The good
people of Huntingdon know well how to make
strangers feel at home, which is the highest
compliment we can pay to aily one's hospital
ity. When the weLtio,-: closed on Friday after
noon, maily•still lingua 1, regretting that the
time had expired."
From the above picture of the degradation
of women in this land of the free, a new im
petus should be given tile cause of Home Mis
sions, by those having the work in band, by
they not ouly putting their shoulders to the
wheel determinedly, but by urging the whole
people to help by large contributions of moo
ey, so that the cause eau be pushi-d to the
highest point of excellence and good work at
otice. Let there be no faltering wail the work
ers in this bee hive to ameliorate our telloe;

THE BELL RINGERS ARE COMING !
Beedle's Swiss Bell Ringers will appear in
Penn Street Hall, in this place, on Friday
evening, sth inst. and give one of their inimit
able concerts. This company is highly
spoken of by the press, and in point ofabiiiiy,
will compare favorably with the fatuous Ber
ger family of Bell Ringers, who are known
throughout the country. The Watsontown
Record has this to say about them :
Every member of the troupe is first-class in
any part assumed, while Fitzpatrick and
O'Brien are simply "immense." The enter
tainments here on Monday and Tuesday even
ings were well attended, and all ware more
than pleased—evincittg their approval of
every act by an app:ause seldom equalled by
a Watsontown audience. Ibe bell ringing,
the singing of Mrs Fitzpatrick and the Misses
Beebe, all combine to make this ate fittest ball
show now traveling. Tii4 manager is a per
feet gentleman, and we commend him and his
company to i.he good graces and patronage of
all our ueighbt•rs %%limn they may please to
visit.
UNDER TIIE WHEELs.—A HarriAurger
named Benjamin Harman, while attempting
to board a passing froi;;Ut train, at Spruce
Creek, about four o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, lost his hold, and Riling, several cars
passed over one of his legs, mangling it to
such an extent that amputation just above the
ankle was necessary. The company's pbysi
clan at Spruce Creek amputated the limb,
after which the patient was shipped to liar
risburg and taken to the hospital in that city.
The unfortunate man was a broom maker by
trade. This accident. should serve as a warn
ins to deter others from attempting to board
passing trains.
IMPROVED STOCK.—A party of gentle
men in Porter and West townships, at an ex
pense of $2,000, have purchased the Imported
Clydesdale horse "Young Surprise," and will
keep him this season at the stables of Isaac
M. Neff', esq., near Petersburg. This horse was
bred in Largarechtan, Rothesay, Scotland,
and at the age of three years, among one hun
dred other homes, took the first premium of
£5O sterling at the Great Glasgow Show. This
will be a rare chance fur Huntingdon county
farmers to improve their stock. For further
particulars see posters.

POUND SYRUP or Witt. Cm:taw." The first
dose gives relief, and it is sure to cure the
worst Cough.or Cold in a very short time.—
Try a 25 cent bottle and be convinced, and
you will thus avoid a doctor's bill, and most
likely, a spell of sickness. Price 25 cents
and $l.OO per bottle, or six bottles $5.00. The
large size is the most economical. Prepared

druggists. Nov. 28-Iy.
BUTTER buyers every where are refusing
to take white lardy looking butter except at
"grease" prices. Consumers want nothing but
gilt-edged butter, and buyers therefore re
commend their patrons to keep a uniform color
throughout the year by using the Perfected
Butter Color made by Wells, Richardson &
Co., Burlington, Vt. It is the only color that
can be relied on to never injure the butter,
and to always give the perfect color. Sold by
Druggists.
