of her son John, in Orbisocia, Huntingdon

but the people among whom she had moved
this spring, at Orbisonia, were so Kind in
their atteution to ber that she frequently
expressed aatislaction in having been
permitted to end her day. among people

1 onng men in town bad a good deal of

fair sex. Young men fixed a case np for
him. They appointed a time for a moetinv .

of the boy. put on girls clothes. The meet

A. Jesse Howe waa walking away f rom
his blacksmith .hop, at noon, en Saturday,

and drew his attention to a flame of fire
that was coming un from behind the west
end of the shop. "It's fire," said Howe,
and it's on the roof of Goshen & Hom
ing's carpenter shop," and that is where the
tire was. Goshen was leaving for dinner.
He heard Howe', exclamation, and ran
bacK, everybody in that neighborhood was
alarmed, and ran to the scene ot the tire.
Water in buckets was speedily brougb t,
Howe and Goshen ran up to the loft of the
house, and George Warner climbed to the
roof on a ladder, water was band ed to him
and the fire was soon put out. If the lire
had been discovered live minute, later,
there is no telling how much property
would have been burned. It is conjectured
that a spark Irom the smith lire tell on the
old, dry, curled and worn out shingles that
form an excuse for a roof and kindled a
biaze. Accidents may happen, and a tiro
may take place where it is feast expected,
but the roof ol the smith shop, and tne roof
of the carpenter shop look like a pile of
kindling wood spread out to invite eveiy
stray spark that escapes from the shop
chimney to lodge aud start a blaze. A now
roof on the buildiugs would be appreciated
by the neighbors.
The body of Mathew Meyer, the colored
man wh o was drowned by breaking through
ice on the river not far from Thompson
town, was found on the point of an island
In the Susqiiehanha river some days ago.
Hi. watch was missing but there was a
considerable amount of money in his pock
et." Such was the first information receiv
ed here relative to the finding of tho body
of the unfortunate man. The information
was not correct as to the body being that
of Meyers. Who it was that was lound at
the point of the island is not known.
The Duncannon Rucord says, that on
Wednesday, Aprl 22, about daylight the
body of a colored man was neeu floating fifty
feet from shore in the Juniata river, below
Aqueduct Station, about two miles above
Duncannon, by the railroad watchman,
Samuel Klincpvter. Alter trying to drive it
shoreward by throwing atones beyond it, be
with the assistance of John Strink and
George Ronsh succeeded with a boat in
driving the corpse to shore. Esqnire 9 tew -art,
of Duncannon, empanelled a jury and
proceeded to hold an inquest. From a let
ter fonnd 00 bis person, addressed to "Mat
thew V. Myers, Port Royal, Pa.," and some
verses of poetry, signed by the same name,
the body was at once identified as that of
Mattbew Myers, of Port Royal, who broke
through the ice last March, while crossing
the Juniata river near Tbompsontown. The
ke broke suddenly and he went under, and
was not Ken again nntil discovered on
Wednesday. He had on a pair of gum boots
and good clothing. A $ lull and a silver
watch was found on hi. person in fair con
dition. Ui. relatives were notified by tele
gram, and immediately started to take
charge of the body. Undertaker Mose. pre
pared it for shipment, and it was taken on
Way Passenger on Thursday morning to
Port Royal. James L. Moore the nncle of
the deceased bad the body in charge.
That Dirty Dandruff.
Dandruff is dirty and disagreable in every
way. It soils the clcthing continually, and
is accompanied by a hardly less annoying
sensation of itching. The scalp i. diseased.
There i. nothing in the world so thoroughly

Balsam. It ckansea ai-.d heals tbe scalp,
stops tbe falling hair and restores its origi

economical, as oiry a small occasional ap
plication keeps the hair in perfect erudition.

Editob of StsnsiL aD Ksrusuct. :
In reply to the communication or the 13th
in at., I would say that the article was more
of an abusive, than denying character, al
though, when a missile aa soft as putty it
hurled at a person it leave, no mark on its
victim, but falls, itself disfigured beyond
recognition, as haa been the case here,
'this polite gentleman iu disguise of Old
Honesty, hi. assumed quite a popular
name as all the reader, of bis jar fin can
perceive.
'Old Honesty" furnishes a good shuatb
for 'Rascality' in such casea.
To prove bis right to tbe honorable title,
be annexe, to hi. article, he goea .0 far as
to misrepresent tbe noms dt plume of my
former communication and add. the word
"French" to it, showing how .dearly he
loved to be .0 honest as he seem, to be in
public. He also makes this grave mistake
in the number of bis signers on the petition,
calling it forty five which should be only
tire or .0. Now he wanta to be too hon
est to do such a ,thing willfully, which he
know. i. not right, .0 I presume he bad
been reckoning the amount of profits, he
was going to m ike on his beer and Porter
and tbe mixing of theae two, hi. favorite
pets, must bave produced Delirium Tre
mens of the mind, and in place of counting
hi. signer, he multiplied them by ten..
Take an advice and do one thing at a time
for which your cranium was designed. Ah !
Dear Old Honesty, tbou art au angel walk
ing about in disguise, but thy steps are get
ting feeble, and the track behind is like un
to a zigzag leuce. Now do please do take
olT that ".heep skin" for tbe people who
know you saw that left eye of yours wink,
and it looked, Oh ! co wolfish, that it made
their very skeleton quake with fear, to know
bow you would exhibit their gray bleached
bones strung on copper wire, in your Mu
seum de Medica," alter having aatiattd your
greedy appetite with their flesh, "tho dime
and nirkle." You call me a hypocrite. For
an illustration of your hypocracy, see the
wolf in the Bibie Looking Glass." Ua al
so say. that I never wrote the article whic h
appeared in yonr paper. How superstates .
Dear Master of jukes, how can yon account
lor all your .fiction ? I ould pleasantly
bave you to understand, that 1 am using
my owu pen, ink and brains, not yonr. or
anybody else's. Ob yes! perhaps you are
not aware that I bave no assistant aa yoiv
had, dear soul I when yon "shot olf your
mouth." I am able to compose my own
communications aa they appear in public,
and if this 0110 wound, your feelings as bad
aa the other did, try one of your court-plas
ters, and in addition take a small dose of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup to ease you
and then you can take your "Lulla bye"
nap In the afternoon. He also complain,
that my article waa "nausea and disgust"
to the readers of the psper. If this i. really
true, then I hope his sweet voice may be
the healing "balm of Oilead" fo the wound
ed readers. Further he says, I am doing
this under "false cover." I cba'lerge him
to sign his proper ''Handle" to his article,
and I can follow suit. If be can do so, with
that honesty be proclaims in bi. article,
then the people can see bis right eye also,
Perhsps it will not blink so much as that
left one does, when 'restaurant" i. men
tioned to him. He goe. on and lay. tbe
foundation of his argument to "better tbe
town by securing employranf for yonng
men and boys. This is fine employment,
wherein is the odor of liquor and the fnme
of cigars, as a general thing. I wonder
hat tbe mothers and wive, of inch vie-

stimulating to hi. "employment theory."

wsnts ns to slake our thirst at home, too.
This we will do most undoubtedly, but at
the pump. Next he wants ns to reform. I
am certain in this act we wonld come ont
where hi. political convert did a few year,
ago. After having persuaded him to role
his ticket, by promise of returning the
compliment, he winked with that bad eye,
and laughed because be had made one more
political foel. Tbi. Is bi. reformation pol

Mexico, April 25,1886.
To the Eiiitoe of Seetwel aud Rkfcb
licae t Our quondam friond 1 notice nas
changed his name and paper and now ap
peal, in the column, ol the Juniata Herald
as Klllnatriek. Jr. This chameleon like
character of "Citiaen" alias Rillpatrick, Jr.,
is entirety typical of hi. kind, and whilst be
may change bi. name in to many aliases, like
rogue, are want to do, he is like tho leper
unable to change hi. .pot.. Tbe marks and
disguises be assumes and that bave long
hidden the cloven foot no longer afford him
protection, and day by day reveals more and
more bi. now confirmed babit of engaging in
"ways that arejdark and tricks that are vain."
His maudlin wail that took him one whole
day to find somebody to write for him is an
eflort at imitation and compilation of our
letter or the previous week, which was noth
ing leas than a true photograph or Citizen,
aliaa KillpatricK, Jr., so plain that all could
read and recognize and the other tbe mast
stupid mis-representation of facts, which
when pointed out will be conclusive proof
of insincerity and wilful untruth that will
alone bran.lim as the snpreiuj Killpatrick
Ananias or Mexico. Look! he writes Mr.
Murdiff's petition has only live signers who
are honeat. sober, law abiding citizens, and
not forty-five. I challenge investigation to
prove Ibis assertion. Th.it there are lorty-
ttve of that class and every one of them
promising higher attribute, of minb od thai
Killpatrick Ananias dare claim. That peti
tion is on tile in the Prothonotary Oilice
open to public inspection, let him bo
doubts go see and examine and the verdict
will confirm the assertion of Old Honesty,
and Citizen alii. Killpatrick, Jr., must ac
cept the penalty of voluntary or ignorant
fakebood, and stand condemtued as I lie su
preme Citizen slias Killpatrick, Jr., Anani
as of Mexico. Your rel uge of lies has been
swept away. Now Killpatrick Ananiaa you
made one honest statement through your
stupidity, when you ajmited the powerful
effects of Old Honesty's quiuinu, powerful
to evildoers, shams and backbiters. The
Citizen, we boar t jok tho dose by sections
and so powerful Mas Ihe effect thtt hewoko
up daztd, manilesiing great surpris" in his
past utterance, lousing his iduntity a'Cit
izeu" pu:s on the mark of Killpatrick, Jr.
We now propose to give you a lighter doso,
just enough to make you disgorge Killpatrick
Jr , and come out under your true ami more
fitting title Killpitrik Ananias, Jr., for we
must believe you to be tbe Supreme Kill
patrick Ananias, Jr., of Mexico. You make
a mournful appeal in behall of the morality
of our loan and you ark for protection t
our cuiiuren. now nice mat sounds in a
believers ear, but the tact is we are very
suspicious of yonr pretence, you bave play
ed ihe ''trick mule," so often we mutt
question your moralizing until we see
"fruits meet for repentance." Let us so.-
what kind of fruit you have born heretofore
and if it ia not worse than dead sea fruit,
when examined we will believe yon a. aint.
Mow Killpatrick; Ananias step Into Ihe wit
ness box and we will ask you a lew ques
tions and we rhargo you to remember the
fate or your ancestor who took a worse dose
than quiuine tor Lying. Do you houesilv
claim to be a reformer and rem mstrator I
"Oh no ! I only moan to kick at any thing
backed np by the improvement par'v."
Don't you tblnk some op your kicks are
sutcital f Oh yes; but so great is my re
form spirit within 1 do it to spite somebo
dy." Do you curse and swear -Yes 1
am very proiaoe. vo you iry to injure
your neignoorf "les 1 say hard things
about thorn when I get mad." Do you
drink Beer f "Oh I my ! yea I love It." Do
yon driuk whisky t "yes on the sly." That
will do. By their fruit, you shall know
them, shams, backbiters, busybodies. Each
one or them wiser than ten men that can
give a reason. This is the shallow mortal
who gushe. over in tbe Juniata Herald with
sentimental moralizing under the garb of
Killpatrick, Jr., and wc brand him as the
Supreme Killpatrick: Ananias or Mexico.
Lay on McDufl. OLD HONESTY.
Almost every day accounts or th sue
cesstul operations of men in the west are
rel ated, bnt tor every one that succeeds
hand reds do not, and of the letter class men
tion is never made. A reporter of the Hol
liday. Register ran across one of the latter
class and mention, it as follows : A former
Blair conntian aauiad Tom Brandon, aged
about fifty yean, arrived in Pittsburg, one
day last week, in a sorry plight. Hi.
clothe, were all torn, and one foot was en
cased in a shoe In the fast stage or disinte
gration, while Ihe other one, which was
badly frjien, was wrapped in a piece of red
flannel, Ue told a reporter hi. story of life
and said that he had lelt home sixteen years
ago with $o()0 to seek his fortune' and after
roaming all ever the Southwest be waa now
on bis way home from Texas. He claimed
hi. home was in the Loop, about aeven miles
from Hollidayiburg, and seemed very anx
ious to see the old farm. The last seen of
him he waa woelnlly gazing toward the
east. . .. - .
