Miss Lillie Thompson, of Hollidaysburg, has attended school for four:consecutive terms with out miszing a minute, and is well on toward the completion of the fifth term. Has a Hun tingdon miss as good a record? Geo. S. Miller, of Shirley township, is en titled to the premium for raising early pota toes. They were grown in his cellar, and a gentleman who saw the tubers informs us that they are as large as hickory nuts. The Hollidaysburg reservoir is once more filled with water, and owners of pleasure boats :mil those who love to indulge in gliding over the smooth and unruffled water of that lake, we might say, are in exuberant spirits. Since the ground was broken for the peni tentiary, four men have accidently lost their :fives; three of these from the explosion at the stone quarry last August, and the fourth b.• failing from the hay mow, on Sunday a week.

The Memorial Association of Huntingdon was dissolved on Saturday evening, owing to the formation of a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic in the town. The records and property were turned over to the Geo. Situp ■on Post, No. 44. IL 11. Hewitt, the Williamsburg chicken fancier, has a "centennial incubator" which hatches out 80 per cent of the eggs put into it, and they say the chickens of this "patent mother" are as pert as if they had come in the old fashioned way. We agree with the Hollidaysburg Standard when it says that foolish parents are now al lowing, their children to drop off from the public schools. About the first week in Sep tember next they'll raise a howl because "any child wasu't transferred." On Saturthy evening a Huntingdon boy, hardly dry behind the ears, was out prome nading with a miss-of tender years, and while on Mifflin street, saw his mother approaching there, when he broke loose from his company, with the remark, "God, there comes the old woman, please excuse me," and was off like a flash of lightning. "Does your mother know your out, sonny," is applicable to this young shaver. It is more than likely that there will be enough dugs °tidally slaughtered iu Johns town, in a day or two, to start a first-class bologna sanza , e manufactory, as the owners of tl,e eantnes !lave failed to •'pen) up" the tax required by the city law. A rumor was idlitt Sunday that the Breth ren would baptize a number of persons iu the river, and consequently some of our denizens put in an appearance at the hour stated, and after waitieg for a time tio.y h,ec•uae v,tu scious heat they were —suit B. Frank Lambert: on, a Huntingdon boy, lett on l'ileid.iy•s Way Paso toter for Kansas, to "grow op aith the country."

George Gettys, a lad more sinned against than sinning, we opine. was in the clutches of Constable W estbrook,Mondayeveuing,charged with throwing a half brick through the win dow of Mr. McDonald, on Moore street. The affair was adjusted before 'Squire Kelly. Monday night a light-fingered chap entered Mrs. Thomas' yard, Church street, for the pur pose of stealing away some boards which she had placed there to repair the fence. Mr. Schaley, the tenant, observing the transaction, fired a pistol shot at the scamp, scaring hint away. The Republicans of Blair county have been notified, by the Chairman of the Republican County Committee to meet at their several election districts, on Saturday, May 20th, and elect delegates to the ComLy Convention, which meets at Ilollidaystiurg on the Monday following. Mrs. Thomas Willie, whose home was in Indiana, t i Ois State, and woiher of Hon. Harry White, died of cancer, on ‘Vednesday of list week. She was a sufferer for a long time.— During early life, and up to fhe time of her marriage, she was a resident of this county. Aged 7d years. Far grand and sublime seenery,at this time of the year, Huntingdon takes the lead above all stations along the line of the P. It. It Sprinu boarders, on their way to Bedford, go into ecstacies over it, and if we had the ac commodations suitable to their desires, they would tarry a while in our town. Mr. Samuel Pollitt, years ago a resident of this place, and a brother-in-law of otir towns man, N. B. Corbin, eery., died at his residence. in Altoona, on Friday night last, aged 65 years. For tOurteen weeks Mr. Pollitt has been a sutlerer from paralysis, which ter minated in his death at the time stated. At the late Conrent ion of School Superin tendents held at Harrisburg, all the City Su petinteadents of the State were present, and all the counties, except four, were represented. Many distinguished persons were present, among whom were Gov. Hoyt and Lieut. Gov. Stone, and they addressed the Convention. As the Atlantic Express east passed through towa Sunday evening, sparks from the engine lit on the roof of Fisher k Son's saw mill, at Henry Sz Co's crossing, and had they not been discovered at once, a few minutes more would have started a big blaze ; a few buckets of water extinguished the swill flames. No alarm was given The Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company is the largest fire insurance company in the world, having total assets of $30,632,- 000, of which there is invested in the United States $4.376,961. This company has estab lished an agency in this county. G. B. Armi tage & Co. are the agents. They will issue policies upon liberal terms. That was an interesting. sermon preached Sunday night, in the First M. E. church, by Rev. W. H. Dill. His theme, "These are they which came 4,ut of great tribulation, and have wa4!ed their robes and ina‘l,. them white in the blood of the Lamb." 17.1 S thoroughly di gested by the Reverend gentleman, and met with the approbation of the entire audience. The County Commissioners here added five per cent. to the valuation of property in this borough, as returned by the Triennial As sessor. In a few other districts the valuation has been increased, whilst in some others, lowered. This was dune for the purpose 01 gaining a uniform rate. The right of the COIIIO3I6SIOUCI'S to alter figures of assessors is questioned. Michael McCullough and Peter Dumm, two residents of Altoona, were arrested-on Wednes day last. on the charge of burning the dwell ing house of Adam Wentzel, in Newry, Blair county, in February last. They were taken before Alderman Rose, who admitted McCul lough to bail in the sum of $5OO, the owner of the burnt property becoming his security. Dumm was sent to the lock up, as the Alder man refused to take Mr. Wentzel as bail in both cases. The Hollidaysburg papers arc making fun of the Adams express wagon of that place.— One of them says : By odds the most thor oughly disreputable old hull: that now passes through our streets is the wreck called the Adams express wagon. The covering of the wagon resembles a seive, and on rainy days one wouldn't like to trust perishable property to such a hulk. However, we presume the company will purchase Mr. Silvey a new wagon so soon as they get the money ahead. William Saxton, aged 70 years, and an old resident of Lewistown, on Tuesday morning of last week, whilst sitting on one end of the Court house portico, and talking with friends was noticed to sink down, but his fall was ar rested by the bystanders. Ile was carried in to the hall of the building, and in a 1 . , , w mo ments was dead. Before leaving home that morning lie proposed to his wife that lie woald go to the mountains to peel bark, but through her persuasions he remained at home. . The Secretary of the Altoona council was so mad the other day, that lie went to the Al toona Sun office, and dared the "local" of that paper to mortal combat, for his allusion to something that the Secretary had dote or said at a meetinw of the council a few nights be f,re. lie finally cooled down, when lie at tempted to "bait" the "local hook" with a cock •and bull story, but the reporter wouldn't bite, and he went away, avowing that he would get even with tat fellow at some future date. To-night, Friday, the Oafty Gooft New York Combinat on will appear at Muebus' Hall, in Augustin Daly's new version of "Under the Gaslight," with Gus Philips, the German Dia lect Comedian in the leading role of Philip Snorkey. As he will be suppotted by a large and talented company we may expect a good ,piece of acting. In this drama, "Under the Gaslight," there are many startling situations, some of the pictures presented are of the brighter side of life, while others are of the darker. Give "Suorkey" a boom. The trial of John Chancey, the tramp, who murdered W. W. Gaither, a conductor on the Foxburg, St. Petersburg & Clarion R. R., and formerly a cuittinetor on the 11. & B. T. R. R., was in progress at Clarion last week, and up to date we have not learned what disposition was Ma le or the ease. The readers of the Jot - RN/a will remember that Chancey was a passenger on the train on which Gaither was conductor, and became involved in a diffit:mity with him, during which he was shot in the leg, and from which he died a short time afterwards. The Lewistown Democrat says that Mr. John S. Banawalt, of the Summit Dale Nurseries, donated to the Brethren's Normal in Hun tingdon the following evergreens, shade and flowering trees, to be planted in their yard, to wit : Three Swedish juniper, two Irish jun— iper, two globe arborvitae, two American ar borvitfe, two Siberian arborvitae, tour Euro pean sarsaparilla, four catalpa, two balsam fir, one horse chestnut and one Norway spruce. They have been "set out," and have the ap pearance that all will grow, and will, in the course of years, make flue shade for the habi tues of that institution. Henry Hensel, a one-armed citizen of Stony Creek township, Cambria county, got drunk the other day, when he went to his home, and after securing a revolver which had been in a cupboard, commenced blazing away at his wife. Mrs. Hensel ran out back of an out building, and thus saved her life, as her liege lord was too drunk to take accurate aim at her anatomy, although. h.e managed to per forate the building with five or six bullets. Henry was arrested, and will answer for his little amusement at the next session of Cam bria county Court. He says the cause was on account of his wife's infidelity, whilst she de clares it was the excessive use of alcoholic spirits. The commissions of the Justices of the Peace date from the Ist of May, and the following is a list of those elected last February, who have iifted their commissions, as per file in the Register and Recorder's office in this place : Jas• Kelly, Huntingdon borough ; W. \V. ithington, Petersburg borough ; Jesse Henry, Henderson township ; Itobt.

LET US STAIIT A BusisEss Boom.— OnGANIzs STOCii COMPANIES.—Fur some time past the JOURNAL has been urging the start ing of tnanulOe!ori:.s ha this place, for the purposi - u•Sre‘ivin:: hnzine,s in our midst and giving olir hlborin;_*: po'njalloll employment.

IL has the effect to make the business men inter ested in the success of the enterprise. It enables a community to reap the benefits growing out of such industries at a compara tive small cost. It provides them with a ready sale for their goods, and in many other ways contributes towards the general pros perity of a towa. There is scarcely a town in Northern Pentis)lvania but has it is its power to organize a stock company for the purpose of mantOic - aria; a class of in-ticks which are consumed in their midst, and a sale for the surplus can readily be obtained. The corpo ration laws enacted by the legislature of Pennsylvania in pursuance of the provisions of the new constitution, make it au easy mat ter to organize deompany under its provisions with trifling expense. In the matter of es tablishments for tile manufacture of wood into the thousand forms which is demanded, places this in3ll.3ll'y within the reach of ahmost any little town or borough. The field is a broad one, covering, among others, glass works, tanneries, furniture and toy establish meats, carriage manufactories, woolen mills, agricultural implements, etc. Let the people take tile initiative in these enterprises, and ere long capital from abroad will be attracte.l to our borders and the hum Of in,:chinery viii tar iu.trd all aloa-2,- the Northern tier. We have many industrial es tablishmeuts of which we are justly proud; but we want to see more of them. Set the ball a-roiling !!! — UNDER, THE GASLIGHT."—This popu lar play will be rendered in Moebils' Hall. on Friday evening. 7th inst., by "Oofty Goolls" New York Combination, one of the best cow panics on the road. The Toronto Globe, of a recent date, had this to say of the play and ita rendition : "The plat of this place showing up social shams in the upper circles and villainy and crime in lower grades, is familiar to most play goers. Last night the play, as an entire, was most -successfully produced, and while there were one or two little unevenesses, incidental upon the early performance of a new company, there was nothing to mar the entire eujoymeut of tie.! play. Mr. Gutty Gooft made a splendid "Siiorkey." Be was forcible and natural, :tad drew repeated applause. Mr. Milt:11:R made a very fair "Itay Trafierd," and thong I nut liliiu g alt the regeirements of the character, gives promise of future excellence. Mr J. Pt. Speelonan, one of the few actors of the o.d schael teat, shows great risibility, and in the part of "By ke" mal:es a moist successfu hit. Miss Ade,aide Tizoreten makes a very graceful "Laura Coartland," and is pathetic and easy. Miss Graee Rath, with a shade less brusyuerie. as mere becoming one of the belles of society, would be a very pleasing "Pearl." Miss Leonora Bradley twatle a most vivacious "Peitehblossom," and 'Old Judas" had an able exponent in Miss Florence Vane. The dock scene was capital, and the sallies of "Bermudas" [Mr. tV. J. Shea] anti the rest of the "boys" were greet ;e1 wi th roars of laug,hte r. rue great sensation seene ru the railway train leaviug across the stege curs well managed, and the play ought to command a succession of crowded houses during the week."

A WARNING TO PERSONS WHO ARE ENTITLED TO, But HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR PEN• sioNs.—We find the following article in the National Tribune, a paper published at Wash. ingtou D. C., in the interests of the soldiers of the rebellion, and believing 'that the infor mation will be of benefit to some of the readers of the JOURNAL we copy it : Under the provisions of the pension law of January 25, 1879, pensions (for the late war only) date from the discharge or death of the soldier, if applied for before July 1, 1880. If the claim should not be filed prior to that date, pension can only commence from the dale of filing the application. Widows of soldiers, who have remarried, will forfeit pension from the date of first husband's discharge or death, to the date of their remarriage, unless they file application therefore before July 1, 1880. _ . The children of deceased soldiers who were under sixteen years of age at the date of their father's death or mother's remarriage and for whom a guardiau has not drawn a pension until they arrived at the age of sixteen years, and who have attained the age of twenty one years, will forfeit all title to pen sion, unless application therefor shall be filed iu the Pension Office before July 1, 1880. Brothers and sisters of deceased soldiers, who were under the age of sixteen at the date of their brother's death, and ,depeudent upou him wholly or in part far their support, and who were orphans at the date of the soldier's decease, will, if they have attained the age of twirity- one, forfeit all right to;pension, unless application therefor shill be filed prior to July 1, 1880. On the first day ofJuly next the old statutes of limitation, the operations of which are temporarily suspended by the pension law above referred to, will again be in force, and we fear that matiy persons of the above classes and other heirs who are entitled will find themselves cut off from large sums of pension money, which can now be collected. All persons having title should at once employ a competent and reputable claims attorney. We have sounded the alarm repeatedly, and those of our readers who, through apathy, allow their claims to go by default dill have themselves to blame. "A word to the wise is sufficient." THE fiilu.vi•ig is Fro,n the Granteounry Gazelle, Pelersbur , i, W. Va., July 26, 1878 : "Dr. W. F. Fundent,erg, of Cumberland, is a practical oculist and aurist, and is worthy of the attention of thosexho are afflicted with diseases of the eye and ear, including those of the nose and throat. Dr. F. was lately the resident surgeon of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he made himself a reputation second to no other surgeon in the country.— During our residence in Cumberland we wit nessed the Doctor extract a diseased eye from a man's head, and it was one of the neatest and most scientific operations we ever saw. The m:m came to the Doctor with one side of his face swollen, the left eye entirely blind from a chronic disease. The eye had to come out or the sight of the other would be lost.— The man submitted to the Operation. Lying on a lounge, and being put under the influ ence of chloroform, the Doctor applied a curved blade to the optic, and in less than one minute the ball was in a glass of water. The man never felt the least pain after he was restored to consciousness. Tieing up the vacant socket the man went home—several miles from Cum berland—and in two weeks returned to the Doctor for the purpose of having a glass eye inserted. It was done, and so handsomely done, that no one can tell one eye from the other. We recommend Dr. Fundenberg to the public." Dr. Fundenberg will shortly locate in [inn ting'•oo for the practice of his specialties of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. Faom the Sturgis, Mich., Weekly: Mr. John Brast, living in Sherman Township, informed us a few days ago that his feet had been so terribly frost-bitten that he could hhdly stand 'he pains caused thereby. Ile happened to think of ST. JACOBS OlL—which he always keeps haody—rubbed his feet twice with the remedy, and the pain disappeared entirely. He not only values ST. JACOBS OIL as an unexcelled remedy for a great many other painful diseases, to which mankind i s subject, but he also asserts that it is really invaluable for the many diseases horses and stock are subject to, and which so often play havoc with the prospects of the farmer and stock-raiser. Fine cutlery has just been added to the varied assortment of articles to be found at the JooaNAL store. Ladies' knives a specialty. IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION.— Last Wednesday, Dr. W. F.
