Mr.. J. S. Owner, of Hagerstown,
has received from United States Fish
Commissioner, through the kindness
of Hon. l.. E. McComas, $50 yearling
brook trout, and 500 California trout

Potomac above this place, are now

Mr.. w. Harry Fuss, our industrious
and enterprising matchmaker and
jeweler, has now on exhibition at his
jewelry shop In this place, large old
time corner clock that is supposed
to be one hundred and fifty years old.
The clock was brought to this country

Mr.. Michael Newkirk, who resides
about three miles from this place,
and has been in the Newkirk family
until few weeks ago it was purchas-
ed by Mr.. Fuss. 1t had not been in
running order for the last fifteen years
owing to one of the wheels being
broken. which was repaired by Mr..
Fuss, and the clock is now running
and keeps as good time as any clock
in existence. The works of the clock

libel case against the Philadelphia
Press in favor Of that paper, re.af-

made upon proper motive, and
based upon reasonable or probable
cause, is privileged, and therefore
malice must be proved before there
can be recovery of damages.
This makes newspapers responsible

THE BLUE JUNIATA.

The newspapers just now are re.
viying an old and favorite song
written about fifty years ago by Mrs.
Marion Dix Sullivan, a relative of
Gen. Dix. 1t was headed the "Blue
Juniata." and may even now be
heard warbled by some mother or
maiden. The air is a beautiful one
and the words melodious:
Wild roved an Indian girl,
Bright Alfarata,
Where speed the waters
Of the Blue Juniata.
Swift as an antelope,
Through the forest going,
Loose were her jetty locks,
In waving tresses flowing.
Gay was the mountain song
Of bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters
Of the blue Juniata.
Strong and true my arrows are
In my painted CULVER.
Swift goes my light canoe
Adown the rapid river.
Bold is my warrior good,
The love of Alfarata;
Proud waves his snowy plume
Along the Juniata.
Soft and low he speeks to me,
And then his war-cry sounding
Rings his voice in thunder loud,
From height to height resounding.
So sang the Indian girl,
Bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters
OF the Blue Juniata.
Fleeing years have borne away
The voice of Alfarata
Still sweeps the river on,
Blue Juniata.
About twenty years ago a re.
Spouse was made By Rev. Cyrus
Cort, which though not SO melodious,
was quite apropos:
The Indian girl has ceased to rove
Along the winding river
The warrior brave that won her love
Is gone with bow and quiver.s
The valley rears another race,
Where flows the Juniata
There maidens rove with paler face,
Than that of Alfarata.
Where pine trees moan her requiem
wall,
And blue waves, too, are kneiling,
Through mountain gorge and fertile vale
A louder note is swelling.
A hundred years have rolled around
The red man has departed
The hills give back wilder sound
Than warriors whoop ere started.
With piercing neigh the iron steed
Now sweeps along the waters,

the gator makes off to deep water, and il
dead he sinks at once. The hunters do
not stop for their game, unless in shallow
water and the gator is killed instantly,
but 90 ahead and search for fresh victims.
The next day they begin their lookout for
their game. When killed the saurians
sink at once, but the gases in the body
bring them up in from six to ten hours.

Where roved the Brave, in olden time,
With naught but bow and CULVER.
And swifter than the arrows flight
From trusty bow aud CULVER,
The messages of love and light
Now speed along the river.

Have wrought some wondrous changes
Since rang the Indian 8 laugh
Among the mountain ranges

The world is is surely wiser
What triumphs white mans skill has
With steam, the civilizer.
But still methinks. I'd rather hear
The song of Alfarata-
Had rather chase the fallow deer
Along the Juniata.
For fondly now my heart esteems
This Indian song and story;
Yea, grander far old nature seems
IMAM arr IN ali iCS glory.
Roll on, thou classic Keystone stream,
Thou peerless little river
Fulfill the poets brightest dream,
And be in joy forever.
As generations come and go,
Each one their part repeating,
Thy waters keep their constant flow,
Still down to ocean f1eeting
And while thy blue waves seek the sea,
Thou lovely Juniata,
Surprising sweet thy name shall be,
For sake of Alfarata.
The Juniata is about LOO miles
long, drains vast mountain range,
and is noted for its magnificent
scenery. DR.. Magee, of Ireland,
who travelled through this region
some twenty-five years ago, said he
had never seen anything in Europe
to equal the Lewistown Narrows,
where for eight miles the mountains
on each side just leave room for the
railroad, river, canal and old pike
and gentleman now dead "a few
years ago remarked to the writer
that in all his travels he had never
seen anything to equal the view
from Lewistown except on the Col
umbla river, where 1T was repeated
on larger scale. The Horse Shoe
Bend, above Altoona, is known to
all travellers, the turn affording a
fine view, but the great speed with
which trains rush along prevents
the eye from obtaining more than a
cursory glance at the scenery.
The Juniata drains nearly hun.
dred miles of the eastern slope of
the Allegheny, the Raystown branch
heading about 20 miles beyond Bed.

Its floods are consequently frequent
