Dad Lewis' horse ran away last week. Township accounts should be published. New schedule on Broad Top. See table. Our devils joined the invalid corps last week. The lively mosquito sounds his gentle note. The voice of the locust is heard in the land. Fluttered proudly—Our bunting, on Thurs day. Our old friend Strickler is the best walkist in town. Mrs. Kahl is having a Dolly Carden milk wagon built. Oliver Cunningham sports the nobbiest white hat in town. Read the new advertisement of the Francis cue Hardware Co. D. P. Gwin is widening the pavement in front of his residence. Ferrer keeps some very choice brands of se gars. We sampled them. Gabby—Some of the delegates to the Sab bath School Convention. “Josie” Mansfield, of Fisk-Stokes notoriety, was in Altoona last week. Jimmy Glenny's potatoes, in the rear of our office, are the best in town. For the neatest, best and cheapest job print ing, patronize the JOURNAL office. We have one of "Job's comforters" no matter; but it hurts us to sit down, The white hat brigade is on the increase, but they are not all for Greely by a jug full. "Smear me on the mouth" is the favorite expression for kissing in ye ancient borough. We had the pleasure of taking by the band, one day last week, our friend Rev. J. C. Clarke. An aged and respected citizen, named John Thompson, died suddenly, at Mt. Union, one day last week. J. P. Wensel's Family Grocory, on Mifflin street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, is the farthest out. Thomas Carmon has broke ground for the erection of a brick shop, adjoining his resi dence, on Hill street. Capt. Burchinell sports a Greeley hat, but his head is level for Grant, Wilson, and the entire Republican ticket. The job work done at the JOURNAL office is unsurpassed by any establishment in the State• Come and examine samples. . The members of Tappan Lodge, colored S. T., indulged in a feast of good things, in their lodge room, on Thursday night. The JOURNAL building was decorated with flags, on Thursday afternoon, in honor of the nomination of Grant and Wilson. Of all the belles that were in attendance upon the Sabbath School Convention the Chairman's bell was the most noisy. Farmers assure us that there will scarcely be half a crop of Winter grain up Shaver's Creek. And they ain't croakers either. J. Henry Hutton and John A. Cessna, of Bedford, dropped into our office, on Thursday last, while we were out. Sorry. Call again. William Miles, of Shaver's Creek, who jumped from the mail train, near Petersburg, a few days ago, died from his injuries on Fri day last. Husbands will regret. and their better halves rejoice, to know that the latest innovation in dress goods is the "alpine poplin," at only $8 per yard. Our man "Cap" says that Grant and Wilson ought to tan both Greeley and the Democrats because they have both worked in the leather business. We have heard it intimated that our towns man, Maj. Harry S. Wharton, is a candidate for Congress. Go in ! We mean to beat the Speer-its easily. Our young friend, Charlie Campbell, of Da venport, lowa, dropped in upon 1.8 on Satur day last, looking as though the "west coun tree" agreed with him. Glenn, whom we rethember when he was ever so "wee," is going to pour music into souls of the little folks of this place. He is master of his profession. The Directors of the Juniata Valley Camp Meeting Association will meet at the District Parsonage, in Huntingdon, on Friday, the 14th inst., at 12 o'clock st. J. Whitehead SE Co., have leased the lime stone quarry, formerly worked by Shirley & Bro., at Cove Station, and are supplying the Kemble Furnaces with limestone. An old lady on Mifflin street has suggested an idea in regard to the disposition of the place intended for the town clock which, if carried out, would present rather an imposing asspect. John M'Cullough, M. D., was not stricken with paralysis as stated last week. It was only a spasmodic affection of the muscles of the throat from which he has almost entirely re covered. Fashionable young people are calling upon somebody to invent a new dance. Suppose somebody invents one wherein the young lady dances around the house and looks after eve rything. Some of the board-walks in West Hunting don, are in a wretched condition. The bor ough will have to pay for a broken limb or two some of these times, and then they will be repaired. Some drunken vagabond threw up his ac counts on our office steps on Saturday night. We would like to know his name. Barnum should have him on exhibition as a first-class specimen of a brute. Hon. Israel S. Diehl will deliver a lecture on the Bible and Oriental Lands, on Tuesday evening, June 11th, in the Court House. Mrs. Annie Randall Diehl will conclude the enter tainment with choice Readings. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company are having their cars re-painted of a dark red color. The dark red color is chosen because of the soft coal with which the locomotives are supplied, and which blackens the lighter colored cars. Duly appreciated—The compliment paid the typographical appearance of the Jot:lrma'. by brother Traugh of the Standard, and all the more so for the reason that be is one of the most competent judges of the "get up" of a paper hereways. Brother Brainerd, of the Tyrone herald dropped in to see us on Friday morning last , looking as fresh as a new blown rose. Ile was homeward bound from the Philadelphia Convention, and was as full of Grant and Wil son as a watermelon is of meat. "Uncle George" took umbrage at our kind allusion to his circulation of Sumner's speech and, we arc told, said some very unkind things of us, but if he will now circulate Matt. Car penter's reply—the antidote for the poison— we will forgive him—and we won't insist upon it being done on Sunday either. The supplement to the borough law, extend. ed to Huntingdon, makes it obligatory upon the municipal authorities to publish an annual statement of the Treasurer's account. A man• damus might ascertain the reason why the people of Huntingdon are never informed as to what becomes of the taxes they pay. Died at the residence of S. E. Henry, Esq., on the sth inst., at the advanced age of twen ty eight years, Polly, au intelligent Parrot, which had been an inmate of the family for twenty seven years. She knew every member of the family by name, and exhibited other marks of intelligence. She will be missed as much as a child. A colored man, one night last week, created quite an excitement at the residence of Moses Jackson, corner of Fifth and Church streets, by ensconcing himself under the bed of a fe male visitor. After his discovery, Mrs. Jack son insisted upon her liege lord getting up and removing the intruder, but Mosey couldn't see it to risk his dog skin in the attempt, atd Mrs. J., armed with a broomstick, punched the in truder from his retreat. Quite a number of persons saw the point of the steeple of the new Presbyterian Church, on last Thursday evening. It consisted of the Stars and Stripes with "Grant and Wilson" emblazoned thereon. The Democrats couldn't "sec it." A number of t mm, we are told, felt like "going for it." It teas ali tle too high for them however. They will find, poor souls, that Grant and Wilson will be as far out of their reach in November nest! NEWS OF THE NEIGOBORLIOOD.— An effort is being made in MeVeytown to start a bank. Capt. J. B. Helm has been appointed Deputy 11. S. Collector for Bedford county. L. L. Ramey, of Hollidaysburg, has been assigned to duty in the Navy Department. "Mapper," a colored man in the employ of W. S. Stenger, of Chambersburg, died from lock jaw, on the 31st ult. Travel on the Sunbury - and Lewistown Rail road is increasing, the trains running at fair speed and with great regularity. The iron stack of the new Glamorgan Fur nace, at Lewistown, is already a conspicuous object, and the buildings around are rising fast. —where, The Assignees of Reed & Schell of Bedford request all persons who have not lifted their dividends to call upon 11. Nicodemus, Esq., and do so. We regret to announce the sudden death of Jonathan Stitler, of Hollidaysburg, which sad event was produced by apoplexy, and occurred on Wednesday evening the 29th ult. The seventeen year locusts have appeared. Sinking Valley farmers have plowed them up by the millions, and soon their ceaseless dro ning and fearful havoc will commence. At a meeting of the Camp Meeting Associa tion at Bloody Run, on Tuesday evening a week, it was agreed to commence the camp on the 15th of August, on the grounds or Mr. w. Hartley. A son of Samuel Jones, of Jack's Creek, Mifflin county, aged about 12 years, was seri ously injured on Saturday, 25th ult., while amusing himself at Stratford's marble yard in Lewistown. The Kemble Coal & Iron Company are going to use a patent tunnel drill inmaking the tun nels in Bedford county. We understand they propose using one in Dunning's mountain, east of Bedford. The Kemble Coal & Iron Co.'s men at Rid dlesburg, on Friday of last week, were on a strike. Mr. Parrott was on hand, and after an explanation the men resumed work at slightly advanced wages. Dr. Conrad, who has been practising medi cine many years in Dudley, died last week of consumption. Many of his patients will have cause to regret his death, as he was an excel lent physician and a true friend. An alarm of fire was raised in Lewistown, on Friday morning, caused by the upper part of the house occupied by Mrs. Cunningham, on West Third street, catching from a defec tive flue, but it was extinguished before much damage was done. A Stable belonging to Henry Householder, situated on the alley running east from Water street, Chambersburg, was destroyed by fire on Friday evening May 31st. A horse belonging to Conrad Schelhaus was burned with the con tents of the building. John Harshbarger, of Bratton twp., Mifflin county, offers 500 Dollars Reward for the ar rest and conviction of the murderer or mur derers of Francis King, who was found in the river a few miles below Middletown, on the lst•or 2d day of April, 1872. A horse belonging to David Weimer, of Clearvillo, Bedford county, which was being driven in a wagon by a young man named Williams, fell from the bridge that crosses the Run, on the Northern border of Bloody Run on last Wednesday, and broke his neck. At the third lock, about three miles above Miffiintown, last Sabbath afternoon, a party of young folks, went out in the river in a boat. Ry some accident one of the party,lliss. Dora, yetta Warner, fell overboard and was taken out of the water in an insensible condition. Mrs. Guyer, wife of Rev. Guyer, of the Cen tral Penn'a. M. E. Conference, and daughter of B. R. Ashcom Esq., near Bloody Run, Bed ford county, whilst on a visit to her parents a few days since, tripped and fell down stairs, somewhat injuring her shoulder and arm. At the first annual meting of the "Ameri can Institute of Mining Engineers," held at the Cooper Institute in New York, on Tuesday, May 21st, John Fulton, Esq., Resident Engi neer of the H. & B. T. R. R., and Chief Engi neer of the B. & B. R. R., was elected one of its members. On Thursday of last week the children of Mr. Jas. McClellan, sr., of Miffiintown, with his grand and great grand children,held a reunion at the residence of his son, Capt. Cornelius McClellan, in that place, with whom the pa rents reside. On the day of the reunion the father celebrated his eighty first birthday. On Thursday night the 30th ult., the large brewery of Messrs. Kurtz & Wertz, Chambers burg, was destroyed by fire. The fire was dis covered about a quarter after 12 o'clock. There were burned 2000 bushels of barley malt, 500 bushels of rye malt, tubs, kiln, a steam engine which cost $BOO, and a variety of other fix tures about the brewery. Several sections of Bedford county were vis ited by a severe storm, on Tuesday afternoon. We understand, says the Inquirer, that Mr. Wm. Phillips' barn, in Bedford township, was blown down. In some places entire fences were swept away, and rails were seen flying through the air in every direction. Largo or chards wero destroyed ; and giant oaks up rooted. Mrs. &I. A. Vrandaker, of Satton.,—Be4ford county, died quite suddenly on Sunday even ing about 10 o'clock. She complained of feel ing bad, about half an hour before her death, and Mr. Gundaker started for Dr. Kelly. Be fore lie returned she was a corpse. Seven children are left to mourn their truest friend —their mother—by this dispensation of Pro id ence. A son of Mr. Cartwright, employee of Low ry, Eichelberger & Co., at Hopewell, one day last week, with a lot of other boys, got on a freight train for the purpose of taking a little ride. After the train had gone some distance young Cartwright thought he had gone far enough from home, and jumped off the train, alighting on his head and receiving several severe injuries. Horse thieves, says the Lewistown Gazelle, arc beginning to give false names when ar rested, thus endeavoring to throw odium on respectable citizens. On the 25th of May a fellow was arrested at Bellefonte and lodged in Lewistown jail, charged with stealing a horse from Clemson & Laport, of Rock Spring, Centre county. lie gave his name as "William Goss," who is a respectable citizen of Rock Spring, but was subsequently identified by Messrs. Clemson and W. E. M'Williams as a scoundrel named J. 11. Daub, of Ennisville, Huntingdon county. On Tuesday morning last, says the Inquirer, another passenger train was put on the H. & B. T. R. R. This will be a great accommoda tion not only to the traveling public, but to everybody along the line of the road. The trains will arrive at Bedford at 11.52 a. m. and 9.40 p. m., and will depart at 5.30 a. m. and at 2.00 p. m. This will give to parties east of uq, two hours and eight minutes in Bedford to get their dinners and attend to their business and return on the train, while parties in Bed ford, and west, can go clear through to Hun tingdon and return the same day, if they have a mind to. A man named Long, and his sou, a boy about 14 years of age, were terrible) , injured on the 3rd inst., at Powell's Plane, in Miners ville this county. They were riding op the plane in an emptr coal wagon, and just as they arrived at the top, the wire rope broke, and, like a flash, the wagon started for the bottom, they being unable to get out. Upon arriving at the bottom Mr. Long and his son were thrown up in the air to the height of forty or fifty feet and descended upon the platform, receiv ing terrible injuries. The boy's skull is brok en, and the Dr. says he cannot recover, but the father may live. As Samuel Mllanamy, living near Lilly ville, Decatur township, Mifflin county, his daughter, Mary and John Goodman of Derry, were driving to Lewistown on Saturday morn ing with a blind horse, the animal suddenly turned at the wingwall of the Mt. Rock Mills bridge, stumbled and fell over, dragging the wagon after with its three occupants. Mr. Mllanamy, was severely injured about the head and other parts of the body, and was taken home by Mr. Rodgers in a precarious condition. His daughter was cut about the face, but not injured internally, while Mr. Goodman escaped with a cut on his forehead, bruised nose, ke. One night a few weeks ago five sheep belong ing to John Knepp, Decatur township, Mifflin couty, says the Democrat, were killed and two badly bitten ; and from the fact that one of 'them had been carried off bodily over four eight-rail fences, it was readily surmised that a bear had been the perpetrator of the outrage. Accordingly Mr. Knepp assisted by Daniel Peter erected a pen with a view to trapping the monster ; and sure enough on Monday of last week there he was fast in the pen. Be was a bear of uncommon size, being 4 feet high and 7 feet in length. When killed he furnished 216 lbs. dressed meat, and 28 lbs. lard. Ills hide weighed 28# lbs. and one of his teeth was 3} inches in length. Small pox, says the Lewistown Gazette, still lingers in the house in which it appeared in Oliver township. On Thursday last, Mary, wife of Robert Wagner. who died a few weeks ago, fell a victim to her devotion to her hus band, and on the same day Emanuel Wagner, a brother's of Robert's, also died from it. Mrs. W. was only about 20 years of age. Two other cases, one a child of the deceased parents, the other a sister of Mr. Wagner, are in the house, but both recovering. In these degenerate days, when men and women fly from this disease as they would from the plague, a true instance of heroism occurred by Susan, a daughter of Wm. Cornelius, residing near the Wagners, voluntarily taking up her position as nurse to this distressed family, and for more than a week waiting upon them with untiring zeal. Pursuant to the rule heretofore mentioned in these columns, says the Lewistown Demo crat, our county commissioners, on Wednesday of last week, appeared before the Supreme Court at Harrisburg by their attorney, and made answer as to the reasons why they had disobeyed that Court's preemptory mandamus, in respect to the building of the Newton Ham ilton bridge, &c. The Supreme Judges there upon ordered as follows, viz : "And now, to wit, May 29th, IH2.—The an swers of the above named defendants, commission ers aforesaid, to the rule granted being read, it is adjudged insufficient as an answer to the same,and it is ordered that the rule be made absolute, and that an attachment do now issue against James Shanhen and Henry Wilson, commissioners afore said, and the sheriff is directed to have them before this court on the first Monday of July next, at an adjourned term of the court at Philadelphia, to be held at that time. Per curiam." In view of the seriousness of this order, the commissioners met on Monday last, and esolv ed to go on and build the bridge, and in all other respects execute the act of Assembly, which gave rise to all this trouble commonly known as "the bridge law." THE BROAD TOP COAL TRADE.—A statement in that excellent paper, Saward's Coal Trade Circular, in effect that the bitumi nous coal trade has fallen off 69,388 tons with in the last year and "is decreasing weekly," is calculated to do injustice to our operators, and we hasten to give a correct solution of the difficulty which has led to the decrease in the Broad Top region 1 what has been wrong in the Cumberland region we do not pretend to say. Up to the 13th of April last Broad Top had re ported an increase, for the year, of 3,258 tone. But on the 10th of April the great trestle, at Stonerstowu, was destroyed by a whirlwind, and all shipments were stopped until the Ist dry of May, when the road resumed operations again, but only 300 tons were shipped against 900 tons on the same day last year. It took several weeks to get all things in working or der, and consequently there was a considera ble falling off during the month of May. There was an excellent demand, and had the acci dent not occurred,Broad Top would have sent more coal to market than she ever did in a single previous season since peace has been restored. The last week previous to the break she reported an increase of 1,352 tons. The Broad Top Road is just reaching its ca ll pacity, and in a short time the decrease will be wiped out. SWINDLING DODGE.—The country is again being flooded with circulars headed "Arthur Debenham, bank note printer (lately in the Treasury Department), No. 190 Broad way, New York," who pretends to have "im mense quantities of greenbacks for sale," and further asserts that "the money is not coun terfeit, but the real genuine article"—that an "over issue in the Treasury Department of many millions placed the large amounts of money in the hands of the printers, and that is the reason why it is offered so cheaply." The man's instructions to remit by express only, and not through the mail, is another proof of his villainous enterprise. Let all those who desire to keep out of trouble give these counterfeiters and swindlers a wide berth, and thereby save their money as well as their reputation. - WELL SPOKEN.—The Pitts burgh Gazette, after an experience extending over almost a century, has this to say on this subject; Does it ever for an instant occur to the business man that it is his solemn duty to support the local press of his neighborhood? What is it but the well conducted newspaper that makes his city or town? That constantly and gratuitously advertises it to the world as a place of interest or importance? That daily or weekly makes known to the whole earth the simple fact that such a place as where he strives to make a livelihood has existence in the atlas? It is the local paper. Now, we venture to say that not one tenth part of the business people of any city in the country spend any money in the way of judicious ad vertising. True, they take the paper, but it is not because they feel any duty devolving upon them to award its support. Their sub scriptions are measurably of no account. If advertisements were not given by others, the paper would cease to live, despite the prompt payment of subscribers. Show us a local paper well filled with live advertisements and we will at once take stock in the enterprise and business tact of the people who live where the journal is published. The outside world judges more of the place by the newspaper it publishes than from any other sign. It is therefore a matter of great moment that the local journal of the city, town and village, should be well supported, for it, above all other things, contributes to the general pros perity. THE WAY TO KILL .A TOWN.—If you have a house to build, send off for all the ma terial, and even employ workmen away from home to do the job, while your home mechan its lay idle for something to do. Send what money you have to expend away from home. You will probably get it back again but woe to the mechanic and laborer, if he must wait until it comes. It may do for those who can stand it, yet it will never do for the Poor Man, as he must go somewhere to get his bread. If you see a stranger come amongst you, just pick and fleece him of all he has. It will make you rich, but it does not give the people of your place a good name abroad, and no one would wish to settle where they were in danger of thus being robbed of what they ave. Have a high esteem for that mighty person, myself. Don't think any one else as good, in telligent, or as respectable as yourself. Don't associate, or look upon them kindly. Consid er them beneath you, then they will feel the sting of contempt and leave your place, to seek other quarters where they will find better and kinder treatment. Frown down every attempt to improve and advance the interests of the place, because your taxes are to be raised a mill or t , wo, to make the necessary improvements. If you have a newspaper in the place, don't support it. Say, "it will not pay to subscribe for a paper, times are too hard." lOWA, NEBRASKA, KANSAS, CALlFOR- NlA.—Advertising alone does not produce suc cess. The thing which is advertised must have intrinsic merit, or else large advertising will eventually do it more harm than good. If you have anything which you know to be good, advertise it thoroughly, and you will be sure to succeed ; if it is poor, don't praise it, for people will soon discover you are lying. Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON ROUTE, which runs to three great regions in the West : Ist, To Omaha, connecting with the great Pa cific Roads. 2d, To Lincoln, the capital of Ne braska, Platte, filled with R. R. lands and home steads. 3d, To St. Joseph, Kansas City and all Kansas points. . The roads are splendidly built, have the best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform and coupler, and the safety air brake (to• pre vent the loss of life that is every where else happening) ; Pullman's sleepers, Pullman din ing cars, large and powerful engines (to make quick time and good connections), and are in a word the best equipped roads in the W..: so that if you creme - to go satety, surely, q..ickly and comfortably to any point in Southern lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, or on the Pacific Roads, be sure that you go "By Way of Burlington." All who wish particular information, and a large map, showing correctly the Great West, and all its railroad connections, can obtain them, and any other knowledge, by addressing General Passenger Agent, B. di Mo. R. R. R., Burlington, lowa. How IT COMES.—Many persons sup pose that a large paper, with three times the reading matter contained in the old Journal and American, costs no more to publish it than the latter, because the subscription price re mains the same. This is a mistake. It costs at least one-half more, and this extra cost must be made up on advertising, but thep rices for advertising are no higher, and there is but little, if any more, advertising, conse quently we must charge for many things that were formerly published gratuitously. Will politicians and those who want to make money out of politics or secure political honors, re member this when we present our bills for personal advertising? The man who wants to make money out of politics has as much right to pay the printer as the man who wants to make money out of dry-goods, grocer ies, &c. tf. CASTORIA is a scientific vegetable prep aration ; a perfect aubstitue for and more ef fective than Castor Oil, and is pleasant to take. It cleanses the system in a most remarkable manner; does not distress or gripe, but ope rates when all other remedies have failed. It is certain to supersede Pills, Castor Oil, Nar cotic Syrups and all other purgative and ex citing medicines. The Castoria contains neith er Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. By its emolient, soothing effect, it assimilates the food and produces natural sleep particularly adapting it to crying and teething children. It cures Stomach Ache, Wind Colic, Consti pation, Flatulency, Croup and kills Worms. Make your Druggist send for it ; he will always keep it, as every family must have it. It costs but fifty cents a bottle. [juncs--4t. HUNTINGDON AND RROAD TOP RAIL ROAD—Report of Coat Shipped: TONS.

Association assembled at 10 o'clock, and was called to order by tho Vice President, J. R. Simpson, Esq., and opened by singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," and reading of Scrip ture Lesson by Rev. Plannett, and prayer by Mr. A. G. Ewing, of Franklin township. B. F. Brown and A. G. Ewing were elected as sistant Secretaries. Dr. IClC — lViestling, James Hamilton, E. G. Heck, A. W. Black, and Elias Zeck, were appoint ed a Business Committee, who reported that the remainder of the morning session be devoted to discussion of general sabbath school subjects. The general discussion was opened by Mr. Hare, of Porter township, who urged the importance of instruction of youth ; they should be trained while their character is capable of being formed. Rev. John D. Brown said this Convention was an important one. Though there be Conventions of different character assembled at this time in other sections of the State, yet this one in view of angels, must be mot 4 important. Political Con ventions work for time only, we for eternity. We have no standard bearer to elect—we know whom we follow—it is Christ the Master. He will surely lead us to success and victory. We cannot fail with such a Leader. David Blair, Esq., of Iluntingdon, lead the Con vention in an earnest, fervent prayer. Was. P. Orbison, Esq., spoke of the convention being important as a means of increasing our zeal in the cause , wo stir one another up to more ac tivity. lie had received much benefit from past conventions, and our sabbath schools have been much improved. We all aro more active, more zealous, and he hoped that those who come may speak so as to warm us in the cause. lie had just returned from Centre county, and found more in terest taken there in the cause than here ; they were active in the work. This is right. May this convention be the instrument of doing much good.

S. be made the general subject of evening session. Closed with singing and prayer. AFTERNOON SESSION. Convention opened with devotional exercises, after which the welcome address was delivered by Hon. R. M. Speer, in his usual eloquent manner. Ile held the attention of the large audience in a manner which fully showed their appreciation of his remarks, and the delegates could not feel oth erwise than they were welcome to the heart and home of the people of Huntingdon. The discussion of the question, What are the abuses of the Sabbath School, was opened by Rev. Wilson of Birmingham, who thought we ought to Sod as little fault as possible with the Sabbath School. He had much for which to thank the Sabbath school. It is an abuse of the Sabbath school whenever it is made to take the place of home instruction. The Sabbath school is an abuse when it becomes the only Sabbbath service of the children. The Lesson paper system is an abuse; because it takes the place of God's Word ; the child cannot reverence the lesson paper as the Bible should be. He was opposed to it on the broad principal that it takes the Bible from the children. He is opposed to it because it is too ex pensive. Prayer by Rev. John Palmer, of Dudley. Rev. Mr. Brown was afraid a wrong impression might be left from Mr. Wilson's remarks. He did not think the lesson papers were of themselves an abuse. He thought they were an improvement on the old system, because they uniform lessons to the whole school, but he thought one of the great abuses of the Sabbath school was that it was made a singing school. He finds in many schools the great thing is the singing. He did not think that was right. Mr. Donn, of Huntingdon, said he thought one of the great abuses was is the literature of our schools. Many books in the libraries are not all appropriate ; they are injurious, filling the mind of children with worthless stuff. Ile also thotfght much of the music was inappropriate ; the scnti meat of the songs should be devotional. Br. J. A. Brown, of Huntingdon, thought that the majority of the hymns in our popular Sunday school books were just as appropriate as those in the Church hymn books. Rethought books should be selected with care, and then used judiciously. He thought lesson papers were a help to the school, and should be used as an aid to the Bible, and there is no necessity in having the papers drive the Bible out. Rev. Mr. Palmer said he could not agree with Rev. Wilson, in saying the lesson papers were an abuse. Ile believed them to be a blessing. It is a great help in his own school among the coal mines —they were buried in the ground most of the time, and they are glad to have the help of the les son papers. He thought another man's sense was better than his nonset se. He liked the lemon pa pers, he enjoyed them; and let us have the Bible along with them. Mr. Zahniser said the great abuse of the Sabbath schools is the transferring of the responsibility from the parent. He believed the lesson papers a good thing, but they are abused; they are too much depended upon ; often the Bible is not used at all. Is— 13. r. thought that it was an abuse on the part of the parents that anould be attended to. He thought one great abuse in our schools was in the length of the exercises ; long prayers, long passages of seripture, long hymns, are all abuses. Singing "I love to tell the story," and prayer by Rev. Foster, of Huntingdon. The business committee reported the exercises of the evening. How shall we best secure order in the Sunday school? was answered by Rev. John Palmer, and was followed by Mr. Graffius, of Petersburg, and others in short remarks. The next question—ls it right to expel children from the school because they do not obey the rules —was opened by Mr. Hare, who thought that all rules in the Sunday school should be simple. The Bible contains the great rules—many children are no: so trained by their parents to obey—and should not be expel ed. The superintendent and teacher should exercise a kind spirit. The question, Should children he taught self esteem in the Sabbath school, was answered brief ly in the negative by Rev. J. D. Brown. The question, Should children be rewarded in Sabbath school being the nursery of the church, what is the relation of the Pastor to it 1 was ans wered by Rev. J. Plannet, of Huntingdon. The relation is the same as that of the Pastor to the church That Pastor is criminalwho will permit any , one act as teacher who would object to him in pre senting truths to his congregation. He was followed by Mr. B. F. Brown, who read from last year's proceedings the resolve of minis ters, k., to be more earnest and active. There are many Pastors in the county who, notwithstanding this resolution, have not visited their schools four or five times during the year. Rev. Wilson said that there was something be fore the resolution referred to, and that is the teachings of the Savior. The question, What is the duty of the church to the Sabbath school, was answered by Rev. Stahl, of Huntingdon. Adjourned with benediction. EVENING SESSION After devotional exercises, T. W. Myton, Treas urer, presented his report as treasurer for prece ding year, and asked that a committee bo ap pointed to audit the same. On motion committee was appointed. The report from delegates were then received in the following order : Alexandria boro.—Schools in good condition ; weekly teachers meetings ; have township insti tutes, largely attended and interesting. Barree tirp. Four in township.

A delegate reported in regard to a Lutheran school in Brady township, of 50 members in fine condition. 3385 G Hewitt Knode reported for Reformed Sabbath school of Alexandria; use both catechism and li brary. Citrbon tp—Rev. Palmer reports three schools in township. Dudley school doing very well; organ ized twelve or thirteen years ago; two seesions, winter and summer; have object teachlw,:. The chairman appointed committees on Enrol ment and Statistics. The question, What is the best arrangement for a Sabbath school room? was answered by David Blair, Esq., who said there ought to be a platform for Superintendent and officers, and he would have chairs instead of benches; some adopted sofas, which are adjustable. Rev. Brown suggested that we adopt the India plan of placing the children on mats, and seating the teacher in their midst. ..Mr. Myton, J. A. Brown and Rev. John Palmer followed in short remarks. Singing "Singing Within the Vail," and Busi ness Committee reported exercises of next morning. Question: What ie the best method to keep ac count of library books in the Sabbath School? Answered by Capt. John Brewster. Think it is a difficult question. All plane he has ever tried have failed, and he was of opinion that if papers and general literature were circulated it would be pro ductive of more good. Adjourned. THURSDAY MORNING. After devotional exercises, convention called to order. The question "What are the essential qual ifications of the successful Sabbath School Teach er." Opened by Rev. Plannett, who said the first essential is, that the teacher himself should possess personal piety. If he is a christian he will love the work; he cannot be successful without love for the work,and if he loves his work he will be punc tual, dilligent and earnest. Ile must have for, and interest in the children; he must sympathize with them—know their temperament, and adapt his teachings to them. Mr. Zahnizer said some are born teachers ; they draw the children to them; they have natural qualifications. No man will be successful without prayer; no matter what his qualifications may be; they must go from their closet to the class. Mr. B. F. Brown thought in surnentinf . 0 1 1- pro• fessors should be used as teachers. There an some such who love children, and are adapted to teach, and there are classes often in want of teach ers. Snould not such persons be used? Mr. Stare said he had employed persons not christians with success; he thought the most suc cessful teacher is the one who best prepares him self, who is studious and attentive, one who is al ways at his post. Rev. Kistler said teachers should not be discour aged; it takes years and years to become fully suc cessful. He must not be satisfied until his chil dren are converted to Jesus. Mr. Hopkins thought our conduct must be con sistent with our teaching; they are the most suc cessful who are very careful in their conduct. Mr. Owens said the first essential is piety. Its must have love for God and man. He must also have intelligence. _ _ . Rev. Palmer said that all the qualifications to success lie in a lo se for the work, and it was a question for consideration whether an unconverted man could love the work. Mr. Glasgow said it should be agreed that to be a successful teacher one must be a true christian ; they should use their influnce both at home and abroad. We must show our pupils we are sincere. Rev. Wilson said personal piety was something we know little about. Ste would judge a man by his works ; he would judge of a teacher from his ability to held his class. Neither would he make great learning an essential. Some knew too much to teach chit .ren. One should sympathize with his children, binding heart to heart. Rev. M. K. Foster saidhe did not know that the only object of the Sabbath School was the conver sion of the children. There is something after that. Teachers should be adapted to different classes. Rev. Brown said thegreat difficulty in India was to get teachers to teach religion, and that to teach religion anywhere one must have religion. Adjourned with benediction. The children's session was held at 2 o'clock on the Court House lawn. It was attended by the Sabbath Schools of Huntingdon. The bright day, cne of Nature's best, and the glad faces of the children presented a joyous scene. The attendance was good. The children were addressed by Rev. Kistler and Rev. J.D. Brown. The little ones were evidently- pleased with the exercises, and the ad dresses were listened to with interest. After children's meeting, opened by singing and prayer. . . - . . The question for discussion, It is a deplorable fact that scholars at the age of sixteen or seventeen deem themselves too old to attend Sabbath school. Can some means not be suggested to prevent this? was opened by Rev. S. ➢l. Moore, of Tyrone, who thought there should be Bible classes formed of different persons and degrees of advancement. He longed to see the day when he would.. the schools filled not only with theyoung but the old and mid dle aged. Rev. Brown thought it was all a matter of edu cation ; in other lands, the old and young both at tend, and if our Sabbath schools have been wrong ly educated it should be corrected. Sometimes, then, the schools are made too childish to some.— Let us make our schools interesting for old persons. Mr. Owens said he agreed with Mr. Brown. He thought we needed older teachers to hold those of the ages named. The children followed the exam ples of the parents, hence the parents should at tend the school. Rev. Plannett said that our Sabbath Schools have been too much adapted to the capacity o f the very young only. We give rewards of tickets, books, candy. &c., and when boys grow to an ad vanced age, they feel like putting away the child ish things. Ono way of removing this is to regard the church as the Bible School. He believed this to be the original idea of a church. The church should meet to study the Bible, and when this is done there will be no difficulty in keeping the ad vanced children in the schools. Mr B F Brown said the remedy was that adopt ed by a model teacher. One whose class is com posed of youth sixteen to seventeen years of age. She has scholars who have been regular for four or five years, since its organization. The school is continued during the year. If the scholars are ab sent she sees them and finds the cause; the conse quence is they arc regular. He thought too much was adapted to the children, even the prayers, the exercises should be adapted to others. Mr Zahnizer thought one reason is that some scholars outgrow their teacher; the Superintendent should transfer such to otherclasses. There ought to be graduated classes in the schools. Mr Orbison said it would be difficult to put into practice the changingof classes; what we need is a better education in this matter. He thought it was the place of the preacher so to teach that the older members of the congregation should take part in the school. He cited the example of Bellefonte school as one to be intimated. There, classes are composed of the old, as well as the young. Mr Fulford, of Clearfield, thought the work was not a human one, but God's work; the important matter is to train the child right early, have the heart right, and when that is done there will be no trouble in keeping theyouth in the Sabbath School. Reports of Committees were then heard. Finance Committee made no formal report ; thought that $5O should be raised, and suggested that individuals and schools contribute what they may be able to do. . . . Subscriptions were then taken up, amounting to $4l. The various committees made their reports. Tho Committee on Enrolment reported 180 Del egates and Visitors present. The Committee on . statistics presented the follow ing report as the aggregate of information derived from the written reports of the Sabbath schools re presented : Teachers and of f icers 844 Scholars 4 024 Increase of teachers and scholars over last year 238 Volumes in the libraries l5 502 Received into the church from the Sunday school l7O Money expended for Sunday school pur poses $2362 77 Benevolent contributions by Sunday schools Scholars in Public Schools Schools reported 5B J It Simpson, Esq., was elected President; Thos.

Af ter a few remarks from the chairman, the conven tion adjourned. The weather was delightful both days of the convention ; the attendance was very large and great interest and earnestness in the work was manifested by all who participated. The Committee on Music deserves credit for the manner in which they discharged their part in ad ding to the enjoyment ; and the Committee on en tertainment were prompt to provide accommoda tions for all who desired.
