qualities to 'make up half a dozen stores of the
ordinary size.• Give them a call—they'll be ex
ceedingly glad to see you.
Ualf you want to look at and buy books—
school books, ancient and niodernhistories, reli

without turning the corner, step into the store of

to receive your cash for any article you demand,
'we're mistaken—that's all.

IErRomAN has just received a superb assort
ment of Boots, Shoes, Gaiters, and fashionable
Hats. Walk in, gentlemen, and try them on.
THINGS ABOUT TOWN.—On Saturday last
Messrs. JACOBS & Co. launched into the canal
from their extensive boat yard, at the west
end of town, a large and beautiful boat, named
the " West Wind." A seconed boat, chris
tened " Time and Tide," is on the stocks,
nearly completed, and will be launched in a
few days. We notice a number of old boats
on hand, undergoing repairs, which will soon
be sent afloat. The Messrs. Jacobs are first
rate boat builders and are doing an extensive
business.
CC7'One hundred "shade and ornamental
trees' from the Nursery of Messrs. CREMER
ST.-T.syLoa, have been planted within the en
closure of the Public School grounds, by au
thority and under the super intendance of our
Burgess and Council. We cannot but com
mend the action of our borough authorities
in making the school grounds as attractive
as possible—and we know of no way in
which this could be more successfully accom
plished than the mode adopted. In a couple
years the grounds will become a delightfully
attractive spot.
0:::?The Public School House is one of the
best in this section of the State—well arrang
ed and ventilated, containing six rooms—
three on the first and three or. the second
story—all of which during the school months
are occupied by schools. The President of
chool Board advertises for Teachers to
to a charge.of the several schools at the next
session commencing in May. It is but
justice to the teachers-lately employed to say
that they were . highly competent and gave
general satisfaction.
n - "P' The building now'occupied by our
friend, Mr. Wm. AFRICA, in the Diamond, a
few doors east of Cowl's' hotel, will this tveek
be removed to the other end Of the lot front
ing on Allegheny street. On its present site
!arge two story brick house—one that will
add much to the appearance of that locality
—will be erected by our near neighbor, Mr.
11 7 / 1 1. SAXTON.
—Mr. Africa has concluded to "rest from
his labors" for the space of two mooas, when
lie will resume business in his new.location,
or elsewhere, with better facilities for accom
modating his numerous customers with neat
and substantial boots, shoes, etc. Be ready
to call on Billy when he hangs out his sign.
(1:' We passed the establishment of Lr.v.:
WuszßaooK on. Saturday evening—didn't go
in, had no money—nor didn't want to buy.—
We looked in, however, and saw he had plenty
of customers—thought he was selling off at
auction, but the idea was wrong. A big
crowd of customers there is "nothing new."
—Going down town further we met a friend
who appeared to be excited—we very natu
rally inquired the cause. " Why," said he,
taking us aside, "don't you know that"—
well, we ain't going to tell all of it—our read
ers may find nut the way we did, provided
they can "keep a secret." An unimportant
part of the information was that sundry mer
cantile gentlemen had received new goods,
and nobody knew it ! We expressed our dis
approbation of the smuggling system, prom
ised not to tell,' and went our way.
OUR BANKING HOUSE.—BeII, Garrettson &
Co., have removed to the corner rooms in the
building of P. C. Swoope, opposite Coots'
Franklin House. Maj. Garrettson can always
be found at his post during office hours ready
to accommodate the business public. A more
accommodating firm would be hard to find.
PIANOS AND MELODEONS.-Mr. 0. C. B.
Carter is now in town with his assortment of
Pianos and Melodeons. They are beautiful
instruments. Call at his Exhibition Room on
Rail Road street, opposite the Exchange Hotel,
and see and bear for yourselves. He will re
rnain-btii a:few days—call soon. •
PKTTENTION I.—The ladies of the Presbyte
rian congregatiOn .of this borough, are now
holLitni a fair in the Town Hall—their object
is to raise funds for the erection of a parson
age 'house for their esteemed Pastor. They
want to see you, there—they have important
business to transact with you—business that
should be attended to at once. If you would
sustain your credit as a business man, you
bad better go, and take "the keit" with you.
APPOINTMENT.-Mr. ALBERT OWENS has
been appointed by the Superintendent of Com
mon Schools of Pennsylvania, Deputy Super
intendent for thq county of Huntingdon, vice
.1. S. BARR, resigned.
The appointment of Mr. Owirrs is a truly
excellent one. He enters upon the discharge
of the duties of the office, with the preju
dices bf a large portion of our citizens against
it. It is asserted that, so far, no benefit to
the school system in Huntingdon county has
resulted from it. This objection, in our opin
ion, is premature and worthless. The sys
tem in this county has not been fairly tested.
No good could be expected to result from an
office in districts where the duties of the of
fice were never fully discharged. Mr. Owens
will devote his entire attention to the duties
of the office: he is a ripe scholar, and pos
sessed of great energy of character, and hav
ing made the Common School system of this
State, one of bis chief studies for several years
past, we predict that in a few months the ob
jections heretofore urged against the system
in our county, will be unheard of, and the
office of county superintendent be considered
an indispensable appendage to our other Com
mon School regulations.
DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.-A tornado pass
ed over our town early on Saturday night, as
sudden and unexpected as it was destructive.
It lasted but five or ten minutes. The county
bridge across the Juniata, built two years ago
at a cost of $4OOO was torn to fragthents, the
most of which are lodged along the river sev
eral miles below town. Nothing was left
but the abutments, and a small but worthless
portion of the roof. A frame building be
longing to J. W. Ramey and Turn .Fosters
stable were blown down and much injured.
The fences in and around town were scatter
ed in every direction. Throughout the county
much damage was done—buildings were un
roofed, trees uprooted, and fences scattered.
In Brady township, the barn of Jas. Wilson
was blown down. The barn of Henry Isen
berg, in Walker township, was also blown
down and several others in the township un
roofed and otherwise injured. Two houses
in Mark leshurg were much injured--they
could not have withstood the storm much lon
ger. The Presbyterian churches in Peters
burg and Mt. Union, in this county, and at
Perrysville, Juniata county, were unroofed.
At the deep cut on the Broad Top road, near
town, as we learn, a large pile of oak plank
were very handsomely transferred to the other
side of the railroad—all showing what the
wind could do in a very few minutes.
DROWNED.—We are sorry to learn that Mr.
Richard Lynch, of Hollidaysburg, was drown
ed in the Water Street darn on Saturday last.
He was standing on the deck of the boat upon
which was a pile of boards—the boards were
overturned by the wind, and falling against
Mr. Lynch, forced him overboard. He was
a good citizen and kind neighbor, and leaves
a wife and several children to mourn their
loss.
WEST HUNTINGDON. --Washington St. has
been graded and acadamized, and a number of
shade trees planted on each side of the street.
The improvement company have commenced
digging the foundation for a large first-class
hotel.
NEW DAILY MAIL ROUTE,--The carrying of
a daily mail between this place and Coal
mont over the Huntingdon and Broad Top
Rail road, via McConnelstown, James Creek,
Coffee Run and Stonerstown, will be com
menced immediately. This new arrange
ment will be .1' great accommodation to the
business men of this place and Broad Top,
and the people generally on the route.
GERMAN REFORMED cnurtars.—The pros
pects for the building of a new German Re
formed church are good. Some very liberal
subscriptions have been made, and the good
work will doubtless go on.
(1:71ohn Canode and Jake Barricks got
drunk on Saturday evening, and some good
citizen, not having the fear of any one before
his eyes, mad e information against them.—
They were committed to jail urttil Monday
morning, when after a hearing before Esquire
SNARE, they were discharged upon the pay
ment of a fine.
The compliments of the "Senior Juveniles"
are due, and hereby tendered to the Junior
Editor of the Journal, for his disinterested
generosity in notifying the public
~ .of their
gymnastic exercises on "Smith St." - And
they would beg leave to inform the aforesaid
Junior Editor of the Journal, that gbout that

And they would most respectfully, and in the
politest manner possible, and with a due re
gard for his feelings, inform the Junior Edi
tor of the Journal, that if he would peram
bulate in the direction of "Smith St." about
the aforesaid time in the evening, they would
most willingly give him the "rope's end."
Hoping this end will be duly appreciated by
the " Junior Editor," we subscribe ourselves,

Here, gentlemen, the line of duty is plain.
The language of these constitutions evinces
on the part of those who framed and adopted
them, a liberality on the subject of religious
toleration not found in the creed of the false
ly-named .American party of the present day

as applied to that horde which seek to hide
their deformities beneath the genial envelop
