MCALIsTERvmLE. Nav p. lSS3.

MCALISTERvLLE, May -, 1883.
AIr. b. +. Schweier.-Sir, l sup
pose you think 7 will fail in issu-
ing my history of Juniata county,
which was entrusted to me i'll 1876,
by virtue of resolution of L. S.
Senate and also of the Governor OF
Pennsylvania. Now, Sir, L tell you
that / am not idle. l am slowly
gathering to put into my book, that
whether l live or die the history
shall not be lost but an other per
son may some day publish it. King
Soloman said, 'by searching you
may find out thing" I have Just
received q letter from Waterloo, \.
Y, dated May 16, 1888, which saws
since receiving your letter 1 have
read of Rev. Philip Y. Fithian Jour
nal of trip from Path Valley to Sun
bury, in 1775. lie writes as follows
of the Cedar Spring Church: 1T is
large aud genteel society, but in
great and furious turmoil about one
Mr.. Kennedy who was once their
preacher. Poor L, was frightened
when was ready to preach, because
one OF the society when he was ask
ed to start the tune, answered that
he knew not whether | was a Pap
list, or a Methodist, or a Baptist, OF
Secedar. 1 made him soon acquaint
ed with my authority" Tie preach
er then writes OF the country in Jun
iata thus, Il am now writing under
dark tuft of willows and sycamores
close on the bank of the beautiful
river Juniata, the river is about 200
yards wide, lined with willows, syca-
mores, walnut, and white oak trees,
and a fine bank, but what are my
thoughts? oh fair genius of the wat
ers do tell me, will not this in some
future time be real pleasant and
very popnlous country, are not many
large towns to be raised on their
shady banks! l seem to wish to be
transferred forward only one cen
tury.' And now here we are Mr..
Editor, one hundred and eight years
on this side of the time when Rev.
Mr.. Fithian sat ON the shady bank
of the Juniata river, and we see re-
suits such as his prophetic mind to a
limited sense anticipated. From
notes attached to the preachers Jour
nal by others, the following appears.
John Hsrris laid out Miffiintown In
1871, on the site on which he lived
in 1775. Cedar Spring Church com
menced in 1868, the building was in
terupted by the Indian war. The
building of the church was resumed
in 1867, but the logs that were up
were found too rotten to put others
on, and new church building was
bull. s rods distant. In 176l. March
80. two hundred acres OF land was
entered in trust for a Presbyterian
church. A parsonage was butt in
1774 and occupied by iIr. Kennedy.
Who was succeeded by Rev. Hugh
McGlll, who was pastor until 1900.

where to Gun and Fish.

Perhaps the most practical, convenient,
and complete publication on cunning and
fishing, and their various auxiliaries ever
printed, is the one recently issued by the
Passenger Department Of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany. Praticsl in that it not only informs
in concise terms where the several kinds of
game fish and birds may be sought to best
adv antage, but how to reach such places
in the cheapest and most expeditions man
ner, including not only the rail but, where
necessary, the stage and wagon lines, with
cost.
Convenient in being reduced to pocket
size, and in the arrangement Of the matter
under different heads, so that the reader in
search of advice regarding a certain fish,
ducks, or birds will find it in a special
hapter describing its haunts, habits and Pc
culiarities.
Complete from the fact that it takes in
he entire peninsula, which contains Dele
ware and the east shores Of Maryland and
Verginia, from the Chesapeake to the At
lantic coast. The kinds and cost of bait,
proper and legal seasons of the year, cost
of wagon or other transportation, location
of principal hotels sand boarding houses,
and all information, such as those unac-
qnainted with the country would like to
know before leaving home for such trip,
have been carefully examined into and
noted.
The book is prolusely illustrated with
cuts of fish and birds, and also contains
splendid map of this territory.

Although Solomon told us, nearly 5000
years ago, that "There is no new thing IN
der the sum-" it is a well established fact
that some startling discoveries have recent
ly been made in the sun.
Men have always had some vague idea
OF its power, but of its other might agen-
cies and influences they were largely ig-
norant.
1t is subject as fascinating as it is in
structive and it is worthy of our earnest
attention, especially when so admirable a
work as ssThe Celestial Symbol Interpre-
ted" advertised in another column, pub
lished by J. C. McCurdy & Co.. Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis,)
is within the reach OF every one.
The learning author not only acquaints
US with, and makes plain the newest scien-
tifc discoveries, but he also teaches, at
every step, some great normal truth.
Lest we be accused of undue enthusiasm
in speaking of this book, We take the liber-
ty Of quoting the opinion of the able and
critical n. Y Observer:
ssThis work has been carefully examined
by eminent, learning and orthodox diyines,
who unite in :estifying to its great beauty,
usefulness and truth. To some, the an
alogies may appear strained, yet they are
not more so than than the iigurative laugh
age of the Bible fairly warrants, and the
Illustrations ars fitted TO exalt our concep-
tons of the glory of God in nature, and
especially as it is seen in the brightest Of
all His works. The reader finds the evil
dences of Gods power and goodness con-
stantly reflected from the Sun in 3 pages,
and is led from admiration up to that ado
ration which becomes the creation contem-
plating his Divine Maker

ADANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.

There are dangerous counterfeits in cir

Shooting in Spring Valley,

II. c. o'Neil and sons, of SprinO
Valley, White Pine county, and VIM.
Bassett. a neighboring rancher, had
some words about a colt belonging to
the latter last week, and the subsequent
attempt TO kill-tho purported facts of
which were communicated to the Cher
ry Creek News-is viewed as the bloody
sequel: About 10 o'clock Sunday
morning. Mr. BEssett started with the
horses up the canyon, and when about
mile and half from his house, at n
narrow gorge in !he mountains, he was
fired at fom behind a bluff Of rocks by
three men with rifles. The horse he
was riding fell, and he got to the
ground himself. At this point, one of
the men said: We've got the son of a
- now. " The next volley from the
overhanGing cliff struck Bassett, shat
tering his right arm close to the shoul-
der, and also grazing his side, the bull
let dropping down inside OF his clothes
and lodging inside Of his boot, where
1t was afterwards found. BasSstt again
managed to mount his horse and rode
away amid q yolley Of bullets. He got
down 10 the mouth OF the canyon,
when getting too weak from the loss of
blood, lie dismounted. HIS nephew
saw him, and surmising something
wrong, called a hired man and went
and brought him home. A messenger
was Immediately dispatched to Osceola
for DR.. Willard, who. arrived and
dressed the wound. The doctor ex-
pressed the opinion that by careful
nursing the arm might be saved and
the wounded mau come out all right.
Mr.. Bassett said thIIteen shots were
fired at him. tvs persons evidently do
ing the shooting. as the bullets came
two at time. Our informant asked
the wounded man who did the shoot
ing, and he said he saw the parties and
knew thnm well, though he did not
wish to give their names. No arrests
have been made, nor is il likely there
will be any; but our informant SAYS one
thing is certain. another chapter to

The Salt Lake Tribune strikes the
right chord when it says there is not
half as much danger to tho nations
from dynamite as there is from men
who are ready to exclaim, as Mullet
did on Thursday. when sentenced to
penal seryitude for life;. "I might as
we'll be in prison at hard work as any.
where else" The question is not how
to keep dynamite out Of public build.
ings and ships, but how to keep it out
OF mems souls. 1t is not necessary for
Americans to weigh the troubles and
their causes in Europe, any more than
to see whether the same causes. differ
emily applied, are not working up to
the same effects in the United States.

have about so much in his heart. II

daughter OF a member OF the New York

soon bring them to the store from
which she got them and get their value
in money, stating that she had bought
them. bat had decided that they were
not what she wanted.
