election ?
A bush meeting was held not far from
McAlister's store, in Fayette township,
last week.
Boys are commencing the annual dis
cussion of the walnut question. The next
thing will be to gather the nuts.
Forty snows for the approaching winter
is the latekt prediction of a weather wise
man. Hope the fellow don't know.
Wheat sowing is in full operation. The
ground is not in a condition to warrant an
early and vigorous start of the seed.
Banks & Hamlin have re-opened their
Drug Store in the room recently occupied
by the Post Office. Call and see llicm.
William Banks and Andrew Bashoar
brought from the West, tor winter feeding,
a lot of handsome and heavy steers, last
week.
The public schools opened in town on
Monday with a new corps of teachers, and
if present appearances dare be set up as a
standard to judge by, the discipline about
the school house will be of a wholesome
character during the term just com
menced. David Meyers, lormerly of this county,
and well known to manv of the people ol
Juniata, has invented tireless locomotive,
over which Chicago is in ecstacies. Mr.
Meyers' invention will revolutionize city
railway travel and transportation. It will
dispense with the use of horses on city
railways.
The Stambaugh Brothers have just in
creased their already large stock of goods.
They have a wilderntcs of goods of every
description now.-' Call and see aud get lost
amidst their fine and useful articles of mer

The Altoona Tribune is responsible for
the following : A Tyrone man is said to
have lately put arsenic in a bottle of wine,
hoping that a burglar would drink it, and
his wife placed that bottle iu a cupboard
along with a hundred other bottles.
He is
now wondering which is the
bottle that
was meant for the other fellow.
Jeff. Davis fays he has not met a South
am woman who has been reconstructed.
It is a pity for the ladies that tbay do not
reslize the situation, for the " Lost Cause""
is lost as surely as are they ten lost tribes
of Israel. What an old sinner Jeff, is, to
keep alive their hopes, when there is no
ground for hope. Jeff, loves the ladie?,
and ladies' apparel, to such a degree that ii
would not be out of place for Northern
ladies to make him up a box af such arti
cles of dress as they think would best suit
his case.
On the authority of a sewing machine
agent the Altoona Tribune reports a ghost
story. The peculiarity of the ghostly vis
itation is, 1st, It does not frighten ; 2nd,
There were two ghosts ; 3rd, They had
thirst like people in the flesh ; 4th, They
were highly perfumed ; 5th, Their appear
ance filled the beholder with the most ar
dent admiration. The agent didn't believe
in ghosts, but now he does. It is some
days since the Tribune published that state
ment. It would be in order now to hear
moro from it on the subject.

Recently in Brown township, at the
residence of Valentine Fleck, Mrs. Fleck,
whilst reaching into a barrel for a handful
ol corn, was bitten upon the small finger
of her right hand by a copperhead snake,
which somehow had got into the barrel,
and in consequence she came very near
losing her life. The snake was killed, as
were also five others afterwards, which
were found lurking near the house, and a
sixth escaped. Lvrittovn Democrat.
Thk Democrat and Regitter enjoins
its friends not to vote for Republicans
this fall because they are Radicals.
Such a caution notice is ludicreus when
the astounding fact has not yet been
obliterated from the public mind that
less than a year ago that paper was
nrrint its readers to vote for Horace

The above letter is eviJently written in
isguised orthography. We have good
reasons for believing that the writer is a
man of more education than this letter
would indicate. Hence we conclude that
he is the agent of the whisky ring, with
plenty of money at their disposal to see him
through. The threat therefoie demmd
all the more attention. Insurance compa
