lJt BT AND CODIEXCEMEXT.
There are many strangers in "Wil
liamsport, at this writing, June 17,
attendiug the United Slates Court,
of the Western District of "Pennsyt
vania. There are present from Juni
ata, H. S. Sertoli ltobert NLson. El
der Gilliford, and the writer. The
court bouse does not present as hand
some an appearance outside as does
the one in our town. Up to this
writing Judge Acheson has presided
over all the courts that Lave Wen
held. lie reminds me very much of
Es Senator John J. Patterson, of
South Carolina, Lis facial expression
is much like the Colonel's, and Lis
gesticulations are as like Lis as if
made by himself. The Judge talks
little, and keeps a break on the law
yers so that their tongues are not
let out too loosely against each other,
he is a Lard worker when a case re
quires it. Marshal liutan is an effi
cient officer and Lis assistant, licntly,
has the business of the office thor
oughly systematized. Clerk of the
Court, McCaudless, conducts busi
ness like a veteran in the course of
proceedings in a U.S. Court. George
Wilson, Assistant District Attorney,
is able audespedious in the discharge
of business. There are many stran
gers in town, in attendance upon the
exercises of commencement days at
Dickinson Seminary, an institution of
learning under tho auspices of the
Methodist church. It beems to be
the ambition of every one here to
build a Louse back from the street
and without connection with neigh
bor bouses, and to cultivate a yard
of green grass, and shade trees. It
is beautifully peculiar in that way,
and as I contrast it with other cities
they seem common place and unat
tractive and I wonder what my im
pression will bo
WHEN I GET HACK
to Mililiutowu, where the houses are
all built out to tho pavement and
where trees and gias plots and yards
are not at a premium, as they are
here. It will not be like that of Em
ery McCuheu, who once told me of
impressions that he received in the
Army. Ho Lad been severely woaad
ed in a fiercely come&ted battle, and
swooned. lie believes that wmle in
that t-tate of unconsciousness, his
soul weiit to Leaven, for it was ia a
place more beautiful than he had ev
er dreamed or imagined, aud all Lis
friends were around Liiu, aud great
multitude of people were about, on
ail side. Suddenly Le was restored
to consciousness, aud the roar of bat
tle and the shout of contending wen,
and grom-s aud agonizing irios ot tho
wounded caused bun to leel aj if he
had awakened in helL, und ho wished
that Le Lad never come back to earth.
Long may Le live to tnjoy the lum
bering trade in Shade mountain. If

wife of O. j Agent . Ka'tpp Lad a car
riage at band and with Scholl, Nis
ou, Gilliford, and Mr. Silerthorn,of
Huntingdon, we drove to the dairy,
and there met G. B Fletcher, Secre
tary of the Association. The Asso
ciation is issuing interesting docu
ments, to demonstrate, that the
Dutch cattle, that is the North Hol
land or Friesian Breed of Black and
White Piebald cattle, are the superior
stock, and that which is said by par
ties in the interest of the Uolstein
stock cannot affect the superiority of
the Friesian Breed. There are 8l)
cows in the dairy, grade cows of dif
ferent stock, aud a number of the
pure Friesian BreeiL They are large
aud combine both the leef and mnk
qualities. A number of the cows had
been imported from Friesland, or Hol
land. One calf, a few weeks old,
they asked 150.00 for, another, they
asked cj200.00. We all voted the
Dutch stock the best stock, aud bade
Knapp and Fletcher good by, with
our best wishes. Just as we were
starting, Thomas Green stepped up
and drew a silver medal from Lis
pocket, and declared that Le would
not give it for all the cows in the dai
ry with tho 1U00 pound Dutch bull
thrown into the bargain, for the mad-

qualified to enter into business than Mr.

Ou last Tuesday cveninc two men
stepped in a spring wagon at tbe South
east coruor ot Lourt House square,
aud liftituiir their torches bezantodraw
it
a crowd by veutriloquism (which Jones
one of the men possessed) aud the aid
ot two dummy cnuareo, sun it was not
long before tbey had a large crowd
gathered around tbe wagon. He then
idtroduced the other mau as the light
ning talker of America capable of being
beard and uuderctood at the distance,
of two miles. He is certainly a very
loud talker and it is said be was beard
and uuderstood on the othitr side of the
river. But about 9 o'clock in the ev
ening the 'lightning talker" began to
taik blacking. After be bad talked
some time some una in tbe crowd charg
ed him with uot paying bis street li
cence. That stopped bun immediately
aud a great calm prevailed while tbe
ventrucquist weut to hunt tLe chief
Burges., David B. Doty, who was
standing quietly iu the crowd. After
some parleying Mr. Patterson by tbe
authority of Mr. Duty informed tbe
'lie'htniui? talker'' to to ahead. This
so pleased both tbe speaker aud tbe
crowd that he began to talk taster anc
the crowd to buy blacking more quickly
uutil Le sold out bis entire stock.
A special from Huntingdon to tbs
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette says :
Miss Auuie Stanley, the beautiful and
vivacious daughter of Mr. J. C. Stan
ley, of West Huntingdon, bs forsaken
her comfortable home and eloped witb
a silttsuiau iu a Puiladctpuia wholesale
grocery huuio named Hutisou. It seems
that oo a recent visit to Lewistown she
met Iludion, who is reported to be mar
ried, and, contrary to tbe remoustrau
ce of frieuds, accepted bis attentions.
Steps bave beeu taken to capture the
fu"itivics, tut nothing has been beard
ofihtro. The affir has crited no lit
tle surprise in social circles ia this
place.
Living men have seen notices of their
death published in journals of the day.
but it does not often happen that a mau
sues a notice that iufers his death, and
puis his estate in the hands of an audi
tor for distribution. Last week there
was published a notice among the eourt I
proceedings su these columns of tbe
appoiutmeut of A. J. Patterson as ac
ditnr iu the etato of Jacob Beidler.
The notice was a mistake, Mr. Beidler
is in the land of the living, in good
braltli and able to take care of his es
tate aud take care of tbe interests of
others who may bave business in court.
The notice should have read A. J.
Patterson was appointed auditor to
distribute balance iu bauds ot Jac b
Beidler, assignee of Benjimin Reighl,
deceased.

To Dyspeptics.
The most common signs of Dysprpsia, or
Indigestion, are as oppression at tha
stomach, nausea, flatulency, water-brash,
heart-bum, Tomiticg, lots of appetite, and
constipation. Pyspeptio patients suffer un
told miseries, bodily and n.ctitaL They
should stimute the chgcnlcn, and secure
regular daily action of the bowels, by the
use of moderate doses of
Ayer's Pills.
After the bowels are regulated, one of these
Pills, taken each day after dinner, is usually
all that is required to complete the cure.
Ayer's Pills are sugar-coated and purely
vegetable a pleasant, entirely safe, and re
liable medicine for the rare of all disorders
of the stomach and bowels. Tbey aro
tbe best of ail porgaUres for family too.
