random statement that the party might
pass through at 8 O'Clock, and crowd Of

like an ocean steamer. Thirty miles was
made in 81 minutes.

awaiting the train hoping for and yet
scarcely expecting reception BY the
Judge, owing to the early hour. Fully
$50 men at Huntington welcomed the ar
rival of the train, bat the Judge had not
yet awoke, and they contented themselves
by greeting the private Car. At Altoona
