George and the Doctor, for the Washington
government seems to be seriously contem
plating the breaking np of tbe Indian com

the land off in to plots, so much for each
Indian, and with that proprietorship conler
citizenship. On tbe 7 th, a water-spout west of Hoover
ville, Somerset county, did great damage
to Hoovorville. The town was entirely un
der water, the destruction of property can
not as yet be estimated. Twenty houses
were washed off their foundation walls.
One hundred families lost everything and
fled to the hills for personal safety. Tbe
water ran in a great wave along tbe streams
carrying all bridges before it, and spread
itself over that part of Johnstown built on
the level land. A great deal of damage
was done to property in Johnstown. Mrs.
J. D. Morrell and Colonel Cooper died from
tbe effects of excitement caused by tbe wa
ter flooding the lower story of their respec
tive bouses.
Tbe Committee of Arrangements have

great great grand-fathers, who gave us tbis
oodly political heritage. While tbe pop
ulation of Juniata is made up almost exclu
sively of people who are descendants of tbe
patriots of 1776, it has a sprinkling of
worthy foreigners, for whom, tbe patriots
said, this country should be a place of ref
uge and sslety, foreigners who have come
to the Republic to make it their home and
who are helping to bear the cares of their
respective districts. They are cordially in
vited to participate in the Jubilee on the
4th.

Citizens' 4th f July Meetlns;.
can
a
be tbe
Pursuant to a call a number of citizens
assembled in the Court House on Friday
evening, at 8 o'clock, to make arrangements
for celebrating the 4th of July with a prop
er, and old-time demonstration.
There were not many of them and they
did not exactly know what to do, being, we
suppose, all too modest to make a move to
organise tbe meeting.
Representative Martin and citizen Jacob
Will were having a discussion as to the time
the Court Mouse was built, and neither of
them was positive as to the date. Mer
chant Hackenberger was seated in the Court
Crier's chair, aad it was with difficulty he
could be restrained from shouting, "Fresh
fish!" Editor Allison was sitting on his
back with his feet on a level with his face,
resing his pedal extremities on the marble
top of the beater register, alongside of Rev.
Berry's white, stove-pipe hat. Dr. Rogers
was crouched up in a front seat, looking as
if he was afraid that something might at
tack him, but he raised the courage neces
sary to ask what tbe wires running along
the ceiling to remedy the bad acoustic prop
erties of the audience chamber were for.
He was informed by some wag in tbe room
that they were turkey roosts. Few citizens
making tbeir appearance, Hackenberger
was ordered to ring tbe bell by the talking
patriots of the meeting. He did so, and
continuing tor several minutes longer than
is usual, Commissioners Clerk Loudon
made his appearance and insisted that tbe
ringing stop. Perhaps be was fearful of a
reprimand from tbe Commissioner. Pro
thonotary Meminger, merchant J. W. Kirk
and a few others remained quiet. Dr. San-
do, fearful that some one might be sic k
and needing physic, hastened from the
room.
Inquiries were made for ex-Sheriff J. W.
Hamilton, the prime mover of tbe proposed
old -time-4th-ol -July demonstration, but he
was not present.
After several attempts, Dr. Rogers in a
very meek and I'm-af raid-so meone-will-hit-
me manner moved that Wm. Allison be
Chairman of the meeting. Tbe motion was
seconded and Allison waa made Chairman.
W. J. Jackuian was nominated for Secre
tary of the meeting, when Allison recover
ed from tbe surprise at being elected Presi
dent, and said, "Dontwsnt it! Won't have
t-" The Secretary business was immedi
ately dropped.
Congressmsn L. E. Atkinson was nomi
nated for Chairman, but he promptly de
clined the honor, saying, be probably would
be from hone during the demonstration,
and he did not think it proper for anyone
to serve who would take no part in tbe cel
ebration. AI. Hackenberger said, "That
didn't make any difference, we want some
body to be President to-nigbt." The Dr's.
decisioi stood. - .
Recorder Berry wss then nominated, but
promptly declined, saying, the order of the
evening was to decline and he would not
have the Chairmanship shoved on him.
The meeting became quiet for several
minutes. Tbey had run out of material for
Presidents.
Squire McCrum waa slowly coming down
the north aisle, when Merchant Heck made
the discovery that he was a new man, and
be was nominated and elected Chairman
before be could find a seat. And the Squire
entirely ignorant of the fact that be wi
man chosen for a place that three men bad
declined to fill, took the chair, and said
There is one satisfaction in being Chair
man of a meeting, yon are excused from
serving on any or all committees. I thank
yon for the honor."
J. W. Kirk was chosen Secretary, and
took his place alongside of the Chairman,
with an air of modesty very becoming.
Tbe Chairman stated that he supposed all
were familiar with tbe object of the meeting
and that he was nnder tbe impression that
it was for tbe purpose of making arrange
ments for sn old fashioned 4th of July dem
onstration, and that it would be impossible
to do that without contributions from tbe
public He also stated that it was neces
sary to elect a Treasurer. -
T. V. Irwin and Shelly Klosj were nom
inated for Treasurer. A vote was taken
and the Chairman announced that Mr. Kloss
waa elected Treasurer of tbe 4th of July
fund.
The names of the committee on arrange
ments as presented by W. J. Jackman are
as follows: for Mifflintown, J. W. Hughes,
R. E. Parker, E. E. Berry, and J. S. Mc-
Cauley ; for Patterson, W. S. North, and
W. D. Cramer.
Objections were msde to Mifflintown hav
ing four of the Committee and Pattetaon
but two. To equalize matters, Joseph Pen
nei and F. F. Rohin were added to the Com
mitteeio Patterson.
The Chairman announced that it was un
derstood that tbe Committee have power
to appoint all sub committees.
J. W. Hughes was appointed Chairman
of the Committee, with power to call the
committee to meeting at any time.
It was announced that the subscriptions
be paid to the Treasurer, at tbe bank.
AU arrangements were left in the bands
of the Committee, and until they announce
publicly what will be done, all will be mere
conjecture.

A Bit f Local Church Ulitery
A bit of local church history oa Saturday.
May 18th, was removed from the place
where it had been deposited nearly forty
four years before, in the corner-atone of
Kmannel's Evangelical Lutheran Church at
Thompsontown. In the atone was a tin box,
well soldered, tbe contents of which were
in an excellent state of preservation. These
were, a small Bible, a Lutheran Hymn book,
(old edition) an English and a German Lu
theran catechism, a copy of tbe Lutheran
Observer, and a German Paper, of a date
near to the time wben deposited, and three
written papers, one a copy of the constitu
tion of tbe church, one a brief history of
the congregation up to tbe time of the lay
ing of tbe corner-stone, and the third a cer
tificate of that event. Tbe second paper
states that, "In the year of oar Lord 1835,
tbe Reverend 8. R- Buyer, of Mifflintown,
commenced preaching in the Academy in
tbis place. He preached the first sermon
on the 24th day of May, 1835, from the text
Acta 17-30. On the 6th day of Sept. the
first church council was elected, viz. Messrs
Jnst Gleflinao, Conrad Gable, Henry Roash
sod Tbos. North. Tbe Lord's Sapper was
for tbe first time administered on the 13th
day of December, 1885. Tbe number of
communicants was thirty-four, and fourteen
were confirmed, and four adults baptized."
Then follows s record of dates of the cele
bration of the Lord's bupper, the number
of communicants and admissions which in-

Constipation
Is a universal and most troublesome dis
order. It causes Headache, Mental De
pression, impairs the Sight and Hearing,
destroys the Appetite, and, when long
continued, causes Enlargement of the
Liver, Inflammation of the Bowels, and
Piles. Constipation is speedily cured
by Ayer's Pills.
For a number of months I was
troubled with Costivoness, in conse
quence of which I suffered from Loss ot
Appetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered
liver. Mveyea alsotroubied me. I was
compelled to wear a shade over them,
anil, at times, was nnable to bear ex
posure to the light. 1 was entirely
CURED BY USING
three boxes of Ayer's rills. I have no
hesitation in pronouncing this medicine
to be the beat cathartic ever made.
James fccclos, Poland, Ohio.
I suffered from Constipation, and, con
sequently, from Headm he, Indigestion,
and Piles, for vears. Ayer s Pills, which
I took at the siiccestion of a friend, have
given me effectual relief. I commenced
taking this remedy two months ao, and
am now free from Constipation, the re
moval of whirh has caused my other
troubles to disappear, and greatly im
proved my general health. W. Keeler,
