cernipg Leadvilles When community like
LeadvIlie has six theatres, six daily news
papers, i've banks and no church, 1t is sad
reflection upon the sort of civilization thai
can produce such q rnonstrosity: The news
papers could very speedily change the situ
alton BY controlling public opinion in favor
of religion, if their conductors were deter.
mined to do their duty for the good Of the
public to the best Of their ability.
The Bloomfield .Adrocate last week pub.
iished the following: man hailing from
somewhere in Juniara county, who is, Of
pretends to be, deaf snd dumb, and who
gives his name - John More, travels through
this section several times q year, begging
money, clothing. etc., and gets very angry
when his demands are not compiled with.
Our friends in Junista should keep thei,
paupers at home, especially such individu uaIs
Is the one referred to.
The Lewistown Gasette saysi While Lloyd
VanDyke, near Newton Hamilton, was fell
ing locust tree, for posts, It lodged on a
chestnut tree, which stood quite near, and
in his endesvor to dislodge it, il fell, strik-
ing and instantly killing him. When he was
found some time thereafter, it was discov-
cred that his neck was broken, and small
cut on his face was all the mark to be found
on his person. VanDyke was 18 years old.
He has been making his home with John
Postlethwaite, of Wayne township, his pa
rents being dead.
The Altoona Tribune notices that in NOV
ing Mrs. Mary Buoy brought to light an old
saddlebag which had been used by her ia
ther, John McCshsn, Of Huntingdon, some
seventy years ago in carrying gold and sill
merchants having a proper fear Of Lewis
and other robbers then travelled In company,
falling IN as they came from above. The
following comprised some OF the company /:
John penn:ston and William Houstain of
Indiana; Robert McNamara, of Newry !;
James McNamara, of Frankstown; Lewis
Mytenger, of Waterstrcet; Conrad Bucher,

eled east the number increased, and often a
hundred merchants on horseback with sad
dle-bags would enter the city of Philadel-

III ic faof va knnwr, N y.anv,ia hat
read, that the orthodox church appointed
committee of able and pious preachers sew
eral years ago, TO revise the Old and New
Testaments The work of the revision of
the Old Testament has not yet been COM
pleted. The work of the revision of the
New Testament has been completed. John
Horning, Of this borough, is agent for "The
Students Revised New Testament, being
the Anglo-American Revision, completely
reprinted and exhaustIvely compared with
King Jarnes's version" The Testament
that Mr.. Horning is agent for, is not only
a publication of the revised work, but it
contains a foOt-note on every page, wherein
is published the words that have been
changed. The rsnder and stndsnf of the
Divine Word can thereby see wha; word
changes have been made. When Mr.. Horn
ing calls with the prospectus of the book,
the value of such a publication will be seen
at glance. Rev. George Benaugh, Pastor
of the Presbyterian church at this place,
says of it: 50 Having examined the Pros
pectus of the proposed edition of the Re-
vised Version Of the New Testament Scrip
lures, heartily endorse il, and would COM
mend il to every student of the Bible.
Every one will be anxious to see the changes
that have been made. This book proposes
to give complete and correct reprint of
the Revised Version, together with all the
changes which have been made. There
ought to be a copy Of it in every family"
The journalist that has enterprise enough
to have a city branch Office where part OF
his printing and editing Ia done, is rarely
one of the .nsinuating editor. thai ii s rF
a paper with such items as that winch r
lates TO the call of Mr.. Fitzdoodie at his
office, on Friday, as follows: The call of
Mr.. Fitzdoodle was thankfully received.
Mr.. Fitzdoodle is suffering from tine effects
of a boil on his nose. The excrescence has
enlarged the nose and enlarged the appear
ance of Mr.. Fitzdoodle's face, but We hope
to see his countenance resume its accuS-
toned placid appearance in short time.
The latch-string always hangs out for Mr..
Fitzdoodle and his friends. A furious fight
took place between a dog owned by John
Weathersides, Esq, and dog owned by
Hon. Jonas Leathersides, the other day on
Main street. Miss Nimblefoot stumped her
great toe on a curb stone a few days ago, in
of which she has not been able
to wear a shoe for several days, and her af- |
fectionate mother has been compelled to
pay strict attention to the poulticing of the /
injured toe. Everybody will be happy when
Miss NImbefoot has once again recovered
from the mishap of the stumped toe. Mr..
Gavlark rides a beautiful horse. The frog
haven't begun to croaki they are waiting
till they will not have TO look through
glasses. The latest arrival in the Rattle
depang family is boy. How happy the
father is.
Such items as the above are the kind with
which the common village journalist fills
his paper, anu calls 1t enterprise.
