Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1884-06-25

There are many strangers in VIII
Transport, at this writing, June II,
attending the United States Court,
of the Western District of Pennsyt
vania- There are present from Juni-
alta, ID. 5. Scholl, Robert Nixon. Ell
der Clifford, and the writer. The
court house does not present as hand
some an appearance outside as does
the che in our town. Up TO this
writing Judge Acheson has presided
over all the courts that have been
held. He reminds me very much of
Elk Senator John J. Patterson, of
South Carolina, his facial expression
Is much like the Colonel's, and his
gesticulations are as like his as if
made by himself The Judge talks
little, and keeps break on the law
yers so that their tongues are not
let ont too loosely against each other,
he is hard worker when case re-
quires it. Marshal Rutan is an eff
cient officer and his assistant, Bently,
mas the business of the Office thor
oughly systenatized Clerk of the
Court, McCandless, conducts busi-
ness like a veteran in the course of
proceedings in U. 5. Court. George
Wilson, Assistant District Attorney,
is able and expedious in the discharge
of business. There are man. stran-
gers in town, in attendance upon the
exercises of commencement days at
Dickinson Seminary, an institution of
learning under the auspices of the
Methodist church. 1t seems to be
the ambition of every one here to
build house back from the street
and without connection with neigh
Dor houses, and to cultivate a yard
OF green grass, and shade trees, 1t
is beautifully peculiar in that way,
and as | contrast 1t with other cities
they seem common place and unat
tractiye and | wonder what my in
preston Will be
WHEN I GET BACK
to Miiliintown, where the houses are
ali built out 10 the pavement and
where trees and grass plots and yards
are not at a premium, as they are
here. 1t Will not be like that OF En-
cry McCahen, who once told me Of
impressions that he received III the
Army. He had been severely wound
ed in a tiercely contested battle, and
swooned. He believes that wnIie IN
that state OF Inconsistencies, his
soul went to heaven, for 1t was III a
place more beautiful than he had ev
er dreamed or imagined, and all his
friends were around him. and great
mulGtudes OF people were about on
all side. Suddenly be was restored
to consciousness, and the roar OF bat
tie and the shout of contendlnS men,
ana grones and agOnizlng cries OF the
wounded caused hIm to feel is II he
had awakened IN hell, and he wished
that he had never come back TO earth
Long may he live to enjoy the luna
bering trade in Shade mountain. Ii
[ could ! would have him strike a
boom like Perkins didat Miiliamsport.
l cannot have a feeling OF reSIet when
I get back flom this beautiful place
10 my Lative plain town. ior aside
from the wealth. and exterior, and IN
teri,r decoration OF houses and
grounds. our place is not behind
ladies are no Landsomer here than
in Mia.iatoYn. and no better. The
children are No pretuer. L heard a
little s.rl, as she passed co.ored
waiter of the hotel at which l am
stopping, ask him: Have you
chicken II there? 1t was al ugly
insiuuation that the man mad visited
9 hen roost at night, and the cO-OrSd
man took i III that way. Would q
AIii.iintowu gDi be SO insulting The
editors here write no better, and
fight with their pens as often over
unworthy candidates as We DO The
lawyers are 10 ADLER, and useas rough
course cuts upon each other as the
lIillintown bar. It's store keepers
are no more clever and have 10 larg-
er stores. The doctors have no bet
ter pins to give, and its preachers
preach the same theology, excepting
that Of the Catholic system OF tEeol-
ogv. and the doctrine Of the Jewish
synagogue, and men and women
court. ana love each other no more
ardentiy, and with no more fidelity
than people in Juniata, and the peo-
pie generally are not better than our
peo9le. We should love and culti-
yate the beautiful, certainly, but this
world Is not all a show, and the struS-
gle Tor bread and butter, at Williams
port, goes on as vigorously as at 9th
er places
