HE LONGED TO LEAD.
Tin-re was a man who prayed
For wisdom, that he mlyht
Sway men from ninful ways
I And leud them In the light.
Hi nlirht he knelt and asked the Iiord
let him guuie tne mniui norue,
And every day he rose again
To Idly drift alonjj.
One of the many common men
Who form the common throng.
jYeaf after year he prayed
I For worldly utrunKth to lead;
jYear afU'r year the Lord
. Ila worshiped fulled to heed;
pr,y r for leadership and light
rattled off by rote each night,
ynd In the morning rose again
j- To merely drift along.
Ono of the muny common men
t Who form the common throng.
One day the man who longed
J To lead In men's affairs
Itesolved that he would add
Hard work unto his prayers:
dav he strove w ith all his might,
cnelt and prayed for help, ut night
And God iraveeurand aid, for then
He ceased to drift along
A cipher with his fellow-men,
But came to lead the throng.

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
DR. W. F. TROUT.
OF
Written for the Nnwn hy u frlrnrt.
Dr. W. V. Trout, alas! the well
known name is but a memory
now, but it is one that will be in
scribed ou many a pictured scone,
with which our memory walls are
hung.
Like all strong natures Avith
positive ideas of right and wrong,
he had enemies as well as friends,
the former will never know how
much of pleasure they have miss
ed in not having had him for a
friend, and the latter will only re
alize moro and moro us time rolls
on, how great their loss hi tho
death of Dr. Trout. To know him
well was to love him and especi
ally in tho double capacity of
friend and physician, as it was
tho valued privilege of the writer
to know him intimately in both
lxsitiot?s, for a period of over
thirty years, through sickness,
sorrow and death.
His professional services were
given with untiring euorgy, and
though 1irm in dealing with all
his patients, his tender sympa
thy to the suffering afllictod ones
under his care, won him the grat
itude of a whole community, as
was partially attested by the
larger (supjiosod without doubt
to be the largest ever seen in the
Cove) funeral procession which
followed his remains to their last
resting placo in Union Cemetery;
when strong men, women aud
children sobbed in unison with
the grief stricken family.
As a friend, he was loyal,
staunch and true, tenderly sym
pathetic, rigidly just, resenting a
wrong, condoning a fault. Never
turning a deaf ear to the needy
or suffering with pecuniary aid
or professional services, through
summer heat, or winter-cold, sick
or wen, nay or nignt, ru n or
poor, it was all one to him, wher
ever and whenever he was needed
lie went. His hospitality was so
well kuowu that it is useless for
one to say more than this, "few
could equal, and none excelled
him." As a guest, his line educa
tion, large experience, polished
manners and genial humor made
him welcome everywhere.
As a citizen, anything that
would be of an advantage in the
way of advanco aud improvement
for the community, found a ready
advocate in hi m. It was his oft
expressed wish that ho might live
to see a railroad here.
In his own home as a husband
and father, he was loved with a
passionate devotion that was beau
tiful to see, and his short illness
and sudden death caino with a
shock that was prostrating to his
family and startling to nil who
knew him, causing an awo to fall
over tho whole town, as was evi
denced by the hushed voices and
silent tread everywhere..
Dr. Trout was a man of singu
larly temperate habits, and to
that, under God's providence ho
attributed his perfect health all
his life until the time of tho acci
cident which resulted in his
death.
Rather reticent regarding his
religious views among strangers,
he hud nevertheless a very great
reverence for all things holy and
good, and the deepest indignation
for cant and hypocrisy. A lirm
believer in answered prayer,
both in his own behalf and
that of others; by many a bed of
agony has ho knelt and earnestly
entreated God's blessing on .the
sufferer and the means used for
restoration; aud in tho last con
scious hours of his own life, his
faith was strong in his Saviour,
as was manifested in his farewell
prayor for himself and "family.
Words of consolation seem but a
mockery in the faco of such grief
as has fallen ou tho family of Dr.
Trout; but that God will send his
Comforter unto them and grant
them all new grace and strength
to take up anew tho burden of
life, is tho sincere prayer of
A FlilKND.
GAME SEASON.
When Deer, Wild Turkey, I'hcas
lints and Other Game .May
be Killed.
As the various seasons for
shooting game under the law are
now approachiug it will not be
amiss to make a note of them in
these columns.
Deer may be killed during the
mouth of November only.
Wild turkeys, pheasants or
grouse, quail and squirrels may
be taken from October 13 to De
cember 13 inclusive.
Rabbits may be killed from No
vember 1 to December 13 inclusive.
Woodcock maybe taken during
the month of July and from Oc
tober 13 to December 13 inclu
sive. Tho penalty for killing deer out
of season or with dogs is 100, or
one hundred days in jail. For
killing wild turkeys, pheasants
and quail l'.", or twenty-live days
in jail. For killing rabbits or
squirrels out of season 10 or ten
days in jail. .Tho law prohibits
the killing of more than two door
in one season by any one person,
aud the killiug of more than two
wild turkeys, ten pheasants or
fifteen quail or woodcock in one
day by any person. Tho sale of
door, wild turkeys or game of
any kind is prohibited under pen
ally of 100.
It would bo well for all hunters
or persons interested in game
catching to cut this out and paste
or put it in some safe place for
reference. Hunters ought not
only to strictly obey tho law but
they should see as far as possible
that others do so. Tho way to
have game is to take care of it.
HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Don't you have to write a let
ter to some friend in tho West,
North, or South, or perhaps East,
every week or two, and do you
not almost dread the task of try
ing to tell them all tho happen
ings in tho community? You
can send them ten times as much
as you can write iu'a letter, and
send it fresh every week during
tho year for 1.00 by sendiug
them a copy of Tim Fulton
Cor.N'TY Nrcwfi, and thev will
fully appreciate your kindness.
Very few women rest as they
should, for the very simple rea
son that they do not know how.
They think that to be thoroughly
comfortable they must undress
and go to bed, but this is quite a
mistake. Provided there is a
footstool in the room ou which
the feet may rest and a comfort-
aoio cnair lor tne body there is
no reason why a quiet half-hour
spent in this manner should not
rest aud refresh a tired woman
as nothing else could do. If you
Lwaut to gain tho maximum of
rest in the minimum of time, you
should employ the masculine but
healthful trick of putting tho feet
occasionally higher than the
head. Fashionable women, to
whom the necessity of ever look
ing their best has taught this
knack, falliug into, this position
whenever they are in the seclu
sion of their own rooms.
There should be general rejoic
ing in girls' schools over the an
nouncemeut made by tho British
Medical Journal that piano prac
tice is distinctly injurious to the
nerves of little girls. Dr. Waltz
hold, a nerve specialist, has been
investigating the subject, and he
liuds that the effects of loaruing
to play the piano aro so deadly
that out of 1000 girls studying
the instrument beforo tho age of
V2 no fewer than (500 suffered
from nervous diseases in after
life, against 100 who had never
learned at all. His opinion is
that tho "deadly" custom of mak
ing little girls hammer daily on
poor, patient pianos should be
proscribed by public opinion.
Were it put to tho veto there
ought to bo no doubt about tho
result, for if the nerves of learn
ers suffer from tho daily practice
tho nerves of listeners must bo
in still moro serious condition.
Dr. Waltzhold deserves a public
memorial and wero a subscrip
tion raised for tho purpose it
would certainly bo a handsome
one, for there is not a schoolgirl
who would not spend tho last
penny of her pocket money on it,
while tho victims of "next door"
piano would simply beg to bo al
lowed to subscribe.

From tho Semi-Weekly News.
On the 4th day of July, IS 10,
the citizens of Lewistown gave a
banquet across the river in Mr.
James Burn's barn, to two car
loads of the elite of Ilarrisburg
who camo up the railroad in two
brand new coaches (no baggage
car attached). The two cars were
crowded and but little standing
room could bo had. Great was
the crowd of jiooplc who came
from the valleys around in great
numbers to see the grand sight
of a locomotive and passenger
train. Thousands of people, old
aud young, male and female, were
to be seen on the Hat around the
barn awaiting the arrival of the
train. At 10 o'clock a. m. the fog
horn was blown down tho nar
rows, miles below, the sound of
which echoed and reechoed until
it arrived within a short distance
of the barn. Mr. Holey, the con
ductor, said after they left Ilar
risburg they made no stop and
or rived there in two hours. After
they had been refreshed they
were taken into tho barn on the
floor of which were placed long
tables. The tables were loaded
with the best dinner that the cit
izens could got up aud money
command.
After their dinner tho barn
floor was put in order for a cotil
ion party. The musicians, three
large colored men, played until
the perspiration ran down their
faces in great streams as the day
was considered very warm. At
5 o'clock came tho sound of the
whistle, giving notice the time
was up fdr returning to Harris
burg. The citizens of Lewistown
aud surrounding country .were
all pleased. Many of them went
to their homes with the satisfac
tion of seeing the lirstcars which
wended their way up tho Juniata
river.
In October, 1847, I took the
cars for Philadelphia at Lewis
town, the railroad not being liu
ished west of McVevtown. In
the fall of 1848 nud 1840 trains
ran through Altoona to the Junc
tion House at Gaysport, from
which pi ace the passengers were
carried over the incline planes to
Johnstown.
In the winter of 1830 1 was fre
quently in Hollidaysburg aud Al
toona. The Junction House Avas
a very large house at that time,
kept by Jas. Lytic. Occasionally
the trains could not make time
between Altoona aud Philadel
phia, the same way going west,
ou account of snow drifts and the
water' plugs freezing up. Often
there would bo storm-stayed at
the Junction House from 50 to
350 persons for two and three
days. I was in Hollidaysburg
when Kassuth and his suite at
tended the Presbyterian church
on a Sunday. Tho church did
not hold tho people.
Iu March, 1850, I was in Al
toona on business. At that time
there wero but a few shanties
aud m order to roach them I had
to cross the streets on slab and
plank benches, some one or two
feet high in order to escape the
mud. Tho only two buildings iu
course of erection were the two
Jaggert houses which can be
soon northeast of tho Logan
house at any time. Several times
I rode in the cars to Philadelphia
tho train stopped at all stations
east of Huntingdon. Left the
latter placo at 0 a. m. and arrived
at the station on tho banks of tho
Schuylkill river at 0.30 p. in. and
got into 11th and Market at 7
p. m. My first trip I went down
tho incline placo west of tho
Schuylkill river near Fairmouut
dam. After tho Pennsylvania
one track was made it was some
time beforo tho telegraph lino
was erected. I, in company with
three others, was in Huntingdon
for a ride. After taking supper
at tho now Washington house,
wo left thero at 6 p. m. in order
to bo at Birmingham campinoet-
ngat7. Well, I must say it
was sun-up tho next morning
when tho train reached the camp.
No telephone. Rode all night be
tween Huntingdon and Birming
ham, Pa. Out of tho four of us
but ono is dead, Mr. John Patter
