Street Commissioner Miller has been filling up the low places on Fourth and Fifth streets, which is a decided improveuent to those thorough fares .. A drunken woman entertained a large crowd of idlers in the vicinity of the Fourth street bridge, on Monday evening. She presented a pitiable sight. Twelve hundred car loads of scrap iron, from the Pittsburgh conflagration, has been stored away at Altoona, to be need in the shops of that city. A polar wave struck this locality on Monday evening last immediately after the rain storm, and on Tuesday morning a warm stove was necessary for comfort. The laziest man in town howls the loudest about the hard times, and you could no more get him to work than you could scoop the Juniata dry with a spoon. Judge Hall, of Bedford, has been confined to his room by an attack of congestion of the lungs, the result of a cold contracted while holding Court at Somerset. A Bedford machinist is building a yacht, which he intends presenting to the boy, of the Union school, of that place, showing the best record at the close of the term. An interesting question for discussion by our rural debating societies during the com ing winter is the following : "Who eat the most cLickens, preachers or owls ?" When an employe presumes to know more about your business than you do yourself, and acts as if you had no rights that were worthy of respect, it is high time to call a halt. We saw a miss of sweet sixteen, or there abouts, strolling down street the other day with 'That Husband of Mine" under her precious wing. She was of a domestic turn of mind.

Huntingdon was a rendezvous for tramps on Sunday last. Look in any direction you would be sure to see three or four of these nomads jogging along or resting themselves in some shady nook. The proprietor of the circus (?) that pitched its tent here on Monday last, could do better, financially, by abandoning the road and sell ing the frames of his horses to some furniture dealer fo: - hat-racks. The Pennsylvania railroad announces that all articles intended for exhibition at the State Fair, at Erie, the latter part of this month, will be carried at regular tariff rates one w..ty and return 2d free, if unsold. We understand that an arrangement has been made between the Trustees of the Hun tingdon Academy and the School Directors of this p;as;,, by which that building will be used for Cyr , .n School purposes. More anon. Two or three men, with St. Peter's Church on whee:s, visited this place last week, bri left with fewer dimes than they had when they came, fully convinced that Huntingdon was not the place for the peep-show business. The Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Brady Agricultural society will be held at Mill Creek on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the 3d, 4th and sth days of October next. Eon. R. M. Speer and George B.

The primary school, heretofore occupying the basement of the Baptist church, was on Tuesday afternoon removed to the public school house, and as the scholars marched up Fifth street they presented the appearance of an army of Lilliputians. Charcoal has a variety of uses. It is a sure cure for burns. By laying a small piece of cold charcoal on the burn the pain subsides immediately. By leaving the charcoal on for an hour the wound is healed, as has been demonstrated on several occasions. The flouring mill of Messrs. Brumbaugh & Brown, situate in Woodbury, Bedford county, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday morning of last week. The loss on the mill is estimated atsB,ooo ly2sdes $13,736.35 worth of grain stored in the building by farmers and others in the vicinity. The Treasury Department gives notice that it will hereafter prosecute all persons issuing business cards bearing the resemblance to the United States notes. The practice of using such cards has become a common one among business men, in ignorance that it is a violat,in of the law. At a meeting of the School Directors, on Monday night last, Miss Emma Miller, formerly of Bedford, was elected as a teacher for one of the primary schools in West Huntingdon made vacant by the transfer of Miss Emma Isenberg to one of the schools to be opened in the Academy building. The leaves are turning slowly yellow, their summer's hue is hence ; the ripening fruit is on the mellow, the small boy on the fence He looks around, be views the ground, and thinks the moment suits : he fills his pockets full and round, then jumps the fence and scoots.—Elmira Advertiser. Mr. Samuel Donnell, the Fourth street pho tographer, created a little excitement in that neighborhood, on Saturday night last, by leaving his bed, dressing himself in his over coat and drawers ; and perambulating the streets for an hour or more in a swain imbulistic state. He returned to his home all right. A bush meeting has been in progress, for several weeks past, at Grafton, on the line of the B. T. R. R., under the auspices of the M. E. Church, at which a number of persons have professed conversion. The meetings, which are said to be very interesting, are visited by gentlemen from this place who assist tO carry on the exercises. Mr. Josiah Cunningham is having the ex terior of his large brick house, corner of Fourth and Penn streets painted and fixed up in fine style. The store-room in the sonic building is being oterhauled, and when com pleted, we understand will be occupied by Etnier & Foust, who propose to fill it with a choice stock of goods. We acknowledge an invitation to atter.d the Mifflin county fair which will be held, at Lewistown, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 25th, 26th 27th and 28th instant. No pains are being spared to make it a success and from what we know of the liberal spirit of the Mifflin county people we feel satisfied that it will he a splendid rural entertainment. An esteemed friend hands us a flaming poster, issued by the P. R. R., announcing au excursion to Philadelphia. If it was our friend's enterprise we would be pleased to give date, terms, etc., for we know he would pay us for it, but when a "soulless corpora tion" like the P. R. R., undertakes to sponge an advertisement from us it will not find us amongst the gullibles. The party of young men who are in the habit of strutting about the Union depot, every evening, upon the arrival of Atlantic Express, and ogling the female passengers getting on and off said train, display a super abundance of bad manners and little knowledge of etiquette. Our friend, Stewardy Allen, will have occasion to learn them a thing or two if they persist in it. A news agent on the cars has a good bit of cheek, but when, on the Fast Line the other day, one of them insisted upon a young lady buying "That Husband of Mine" and she in dignantly tossed it at him with the remark that she didn't want to go toting some other person's husband around, his cheek blanched, and he thoughtlessly sat down on a sleeping babe and flattened it out. There are a few things that a news agent can't face, but they are very few. Some of the attachees of the cross-roads' circus that has been prowling through this county during the past week, stole a suit of clothes from our young friend, John Laugdon, while the concern was exhibiting at Hopewell. A search-warrant was obtained and the cloth ing found secreted about one of their beds.— Two sets of harness were stolen on the same night. The owner followed the concern to this place, but a search-warrant failed to find the stolen articles. We understand that a couple of hunters, a few miles west of this place, have their hounds ready for a raid on the Cer as soon as the season opens. These same individuals violated the law last season by running deer with dogs, and if they wish to save the full penalty of the law, this fall, we advise them to dispose of their dogs. Honorable hunters horeaways have their eyes upon them, and the first viola tion of the law will result iu their prosecution. "A word to the wise," etc. At a recent term of the Cambria county court a man named David Watson was con victed of carrying concealed weapons, and Judge Dean sentenced him to pay a fine of one hundred dollars, the costs of prosecution, and undergo an imprisonment of one year in the western penitentiary. The half-grown young men, in this place, who are in the habit of carrying their pistols, will do well to desist from the cowardly practice, or else they may find themselves in the meshes of the law. The simple fact that a pistol is carried concealed about the person is sufficient evidence to con- EitY.—On Saturday night last, the photograph gallery . of L. B. Kline,on Railroad street, was entered and articles amounting in value to $lB5 carried off. The thief gained admittance to the building by forcing the lock of the front door, for which purpose he used a small bar of iron. The articles stolen were an extra four-quarter C. C. Harrison lens, No. 7,908, one one-third llolmes, Booth Hayden lens, No. 5,233, a quantity of card mounts, with Mr. Kline's name printed upon them, a photographic bath containing about fourteen dollars worth of nitrate of silver, and a seven-shot revolver. From the manner in which the instruments were tampered with it looks as if it had been done by some person acquainted with the business, and understand ing.perfectl,y the modus operandi, as the lens werejlemovcd by the aid of a screw-driver.— The photographic bath was found in an alley, near the gallery, where its contents bad been emptied by the thief. Mr. Fachey, who is employed at the water station, beard a splash in the water, in the neighborhood of the Ex change hotel, at an early hour on Sunday morning, and communicating this fact to Mr. Kline that gentleman, assisted by a number of other persons, spent several hours in drag ging the bottom of the canal, but no trace of the missing articles could be found. Late in the afternoon the water was drawn off, but by the time it was low enough to examine the canal bed it became too dark to see any ob ject that might be lying in the bottom. There seems to be a determination on the part of some one to destroy the business of Mr. Kline. as this is the third attempt in that direction. The first was by entering his gallery in the night time and destroying a quantity of his costly chemicals ; the second was an effort to burn the building by placing a quantity of waste, saturated with coal oil, under a shed attached to the rear of the build ing, but, fortunately, the flames were discovered by the car inspectors in time to save the build ing from destruction and avert a serious con flagration. At present writing there is no clue to the guilty party, but we hope that evidence will come into the possession of Mr- Kline that will enable him to arrest and con vict the black-hearted scoundrel who has been of these unlawful acts. INCENDIARIS3I AP THREE SPRINGS.— At about two o'clock on Sunday morning last, the slumber of our citizens was broken by the cry of fire, and soon the streets presented a scene of commotion caused by the inhabitants, male and female, rushing to the building from which issued huge volumes of flame and smoke , and which was soon discovered to be the stable belonging to Dr. Z. T. Jones. The ef forts to save the building were soon abandoned as futile, and attention turned to removing the contents, which consisted of a new falling top buggy, a fine cutter, four fattening hogs, harness, &c.. which were rescued though much imperilled, together with about four tons of hay, about fifty bushels of oats, a lot of corn and bacon, which, with the entire building, was consumed. A stable adjoining, belonging to the U. B. congregation, and oc cupied by the effects of Rev. MK .. .lay, was also reduced to ashes. It then became evident that it would require almost superhuman exertion to prevent the dwelling and office belonging to Dr. Jones from sharing the same fate, and in that event there is no telling where the fire would have stopped, as the buildings in that immediate vicinity are closely located, but an exceeding calm prevailed and the united ef forts of the good people availed to confine the devastation to the buildings named, though the hone and office of Dr. Jones sustained some damage. The Doctor had been called away professionally several hours previous to the detection of the fire, but reached the scene in time to render effective service, and succeed in badly burning his hands and face. The buildings belonging to him were partially covered by insurance, nothing, however, on the contents. The other stable was not in sured. It would require too much of your space to detail the motive which led to the perparatiou. of so murderous an act as the firing of this exposed building, and we realize that it was only by a special interposition of l'rovidence that most of us are not homeless. Suspicion strongly points to certain parties, but we haVe not learned whether any arrests will be made. JUgTUS. THAT CIRCUS.—The circus that made its advent into this place, on Monday last, was the scaliest and seediest looking combination that we have ever seen in that line. The half. dozen wagons or cages that contained the ninza4, looked as if they had been built be fore the flood, and been in constant use ever s ince without having been repaired or painted, while the horses used for drawing them were ring-boned, spavined, splint and blind, and so near starved to death that they could scarcely traiel. The "grand street parade" was the richest thing on record, and afforded any amount of amusement for those who could appreciate a good joke. About twenty per sons attended the afternoon entertainment, and in the evening about four times that num ber were in attendance. The concern .is evi dently on its last legs, judging from the finan cial difficulty between the proprietor and his employes. Three of the drivers, while in this place, struck for back pay, and the only way they could secure their wages was to have a levy made upon some of the stock. Three of the best horses belonging to the concern were taken charge of by an officer, when the pro prietor got down to the bottom of his calf skin, scraped together a sufficient amount of usufruct to pay the claim, some $67, and re covered his horses. Some two or three mem bers of the band also severed their connection with the concern, while here, on account of not being able to obtain their wages. The only redeeming trait about this circus was the band, and we must say it was equal to the average circus •bands. The clown attempted to be witty at the expense of a clergyman of our town, but his vulgarisms were not well received. lle also had occasion to refer to the JOURNAL, daring the progress of the evening entertainment, for which kindness we give the cross-roads' circus the foregoing puff without a cent of cost to its proprietor. TAXABLE INHABITANTS.—This being the year for making an enumeration of taxable inhabitants, under the provision of the act of January 6, 1825, entitled : "An act to pro vide for the enumeration of taxable inhabitants —slaves--within this Commonwealth," the question whether said act i 3 not repealed or supplied by the provisions of the new Consti tution was submitted to Attorney-General Lear for his opinion thereon, and he has just decided that the act is not repealed but rendered useless, and no harm can come from not taking the census provided for. The ob ject of this law was to afford a basis under the old Constitution for the apportionment of dis - tricts for Senators and Representatives.

AT TYRONE.—NeWS reached this place on Saturday evening last that a man had beer} shot and killed at Ty rone, on that evening, by a detective. A special correspondent, writing to the Harris burg Patriot, gives the following particulars of the affair : W. W..llutchison, alias Ware, of Altoona, and W. P. nitwit belonging, also, in that vicinity, having been suspected for some time of "shoving the queer" and dealing • in counterfeit money, were spotted by several Pittsburgh detectives, and followed to the City hotel at Tyrone. One of the detectives gained the confidence of the shovers and pro posed to take some of their money, as they had about $l,OOO in greenbacks, halves and trade dollars in their possession. Au agree ment was made to have the transfer made in one of the rooms of the hotel where the detect ive and the two dealers in the queer met accordlng to appointment. The men produced a roll of greenbacks, while the detective said he could not receive unless they were wrapped up in muslin, as it was too dangerous to carry that kind of money around loose. Hutchison, who had sort of suspicion of the detective , left the room with his hand ou the butt of his pistol. While absent the detective seized Funk,. and a struggle ensued. Funk got on the top and tried to use his own pistol, but was prevented. The noise of the struggle brought chief detective Roger O'Mara, of Pittsburgh upon the scene, and 'Funk was: captured. Meanwhile Hutchison made his appearance, and was met on the stairway by Mr. G. W. Perkins, another detective, from Pittsburgh. The counterfeiter was commanded to surren der, but instead of complying with the order, he drew his revolver and fired two shots in succession, both of which missed the detective• Perkins then returned the fire, hitting Hutch ison in a vital part. The latter ran about a square and a half, then fell and shortly after died. Funk was arrested and sent to prison, Perkins, the detective, was also arrested, but subsequently released. by order of the coroner's,jury. Hutchison is represented to have been fine looking man, and was employed with a gang of counterfeiters and shovers who hand led over $200,000 in spurious money. From the Altoona Evening Mirror, of Mon day last, we glean the following detailed account of the affair : For several months past it has been known to the United States authorities that a band of counterfeiters of silver coin had their head quarters near or in this city, and for the pur pose of working up the case a detective was sent here. In accordance with information previousiy obtained, on the 6th of July, last, he engaged room and boarding at the White Hall hotel on Sixteenth street. Here he neither registered nor gave his name. For the con , venience of the narrative we call him Detective No. 1. He was seldom seen around the hotel except at meal time, he representing himself as a "drummer" and engaged in working 'up the town between meals. He devoted his attention to watching Whisky Row and other quarters of the city where one would naturally sappose such a class of men to have their haunts, and to cultivating the acquaintance of one James P. Funk, who was supposed to be the agent of the actual counterfeiters in disposing of their wares. Ile did not long remain here at any one time, but was circu lating between this city and Pittsburgh, and other cities, all the while in communication with Funk. Weeks ago he had obtained suffi cient evidence to warrant the arrest of Funk, but as Funk was comparatively a small fish in this puddle lie was content to wait until he would be able to secure larger game. Finding that he was unable to secure what he wanted any other way, he finally informed Funk that he would take $l,OOO of the counterfeit coin for which he agreed to pay $6O, but only on condition that the chief of the counterfeiters would be present, he not caring to treat with a subordinate. The arrangement was agreed to and Saturday last was fixed upon as the time and the White Hall hotel as the place where the trade was to be made. But it seems that Couzzens was suspicious and very reluct antly agreed to be present, and at his instance the place was changed from the White Hall to the City Hotel, Tyrone, and Funk was further directed to exhaust all means at his command to obviate the necessity of Couzzens' presence. Detective No. 1 having been informed of the change of plan went to Tyrone on Saturday morning and engaged a room at the City Hotel, at the same time placing two other detectives, who met him there, in a room directly opposite his own. At the time appointed Funk was in the office of the hotel and he was approached by Detective No. 1, who said that "it' the trade was to come off he wanted to have it over." On that the detective and Funk started down street, and as soon as Funk was convinced that the detective would have nothing to do with it unless Couzzens was present, they approached Couzzens, who was standing on the street cor ner, and Funk said "Come on, it is all right. I have known him for six years." The detective had thus accomplished his purpose; he bad never before seen Couzzens and all that he wanted was to he able to identify him. From this point out it was the detective's aim to separate Funk and Couzzens. Arrived in the detective's room, Couzzens took his stand at the door with a cocked revolver, keeping one eye on the detective and the other on the hall. After about $930 had been counted out, Detective No. 1 said he wanted to send off the coin by express and had nothing to do it up jo. By this time Couzzens' suspicions were some what allayed and he took a half dollar tender• ed him by the detective and in accordance with his directions started down town to get some muslin to wrap the coin up in. The, time had come, and after Couzzens had dis appeared down the corridor, Detective No. 1 threw himself on Funk, got Funk on his back on the bed and handcuffed him. In the mean time the other two detectives followed Conz tens. When they arrived at the head of the stairs be was about half way down and Wily started for him. Couzzens heard them coining,;l leaped to the foot of the stairway, turned, revolver in hand, and fired at his pursues. Detective G. B. Perkins returned the fire, the ball taking effect in the left breast, above the heart. Couzzens turned and ran out of the hotel, up the alley toward Templeton & Co.'s store. He ran about twenty yards, when he fell. Ile"was picked up and carried into the hotel, where he expired in about five minutes. It was discovered that the ball had cut an artery in its passage and death was occasioned by internal bleeding. Immediately on the death of Couzzens, Perkins was arrested and Esquire Jones sum moned a jury of inquest. A portion of the facts detailed above having been elicited, sufficient to clear Perkins from the charge of murder, the jury returned a verdict that Couzzens came to his death front a pistol shot at the hands of G. B. Perkins, a United States detective, while in the discharge of his duty. Perkins was then released, and, together with the other detectives, took Funk to Pittsburgh and lodged him in the penitentiary to await the action of the U. B. Courts. The body of Couzzens was brought to this city yesterday afternoon. It was interred to-day. wuo is COUZZENS ? The man who was shot in Tyrone is gener 7 . ally known here as "Bish" Couzzens with the aliases John Weir, John Ware, and W. W. Hutchison. On the death of his father several years ago be inherited a cousidezable sum of money. His mother subsequently married an Altoonian named Kinsel, who resides on Eleventh avenue near Ninth street. Several years ago he was implicated with his father - in-law, John Burkholder, and family in exten sive larcenies from the Pennsylvania railroad company. He and his wife turned state's evidence and were instrumental in convicting the family. A short time subsequently he was arrested, tried and convicted for the larcency of Matthew Dill's valise from a pas senger car on the Pennsylvania railroad and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. During the local option times he was tried, convicted and sentenced to jail for selling liquor. His career of crime has been a varied and romantic one and has reached a fitting termination. ANOTIIER ACCOUNT. While the above is correct in the main, it is extremely difficult to secure absolutely correct details in the midst of the intense excitement prevailing around the scene of operations. Our regular correspondent at Tyrone writes us as follows in regard to the particulars : The hour having been previously fixed for a meeting in Tyrone the detective and two counterfeiters repaired to a room of the City hotel and proceeded to count out the silver that said detective was pretending to purchase. There with revolvers lying by their sides they had $967 of the $l,OOO counted, when the detective, not being able to arrest both, sug gested a better plan of packing the money, as he wanted to express a part of it and it would make tuo much noise. In order to get the two men separated he sent Couzzens to the store of Wilson & Vanvalzali for two yards of muslin, which he purchased. In his excite ment he left the store without waiting for his change or having his purchase folded which caused him to return before the detective Perkins, who had purposed arresting him on the street, had time to get down and out of the hotel. Perkins met him at the head of the stairs, when he demanded Couzzens' sur render. According to the detective's state ment Couzzens deliberately drew his revolver• from his pocket and snapped two caps at him, when the detective returned the fire, the ball taking effect in the lung and lodging near the spine, four inches lower than it entered, and just inside the skin. Couzzens immediately retreated down the stairs and up Juniata street to Thomas corner, where he entered an alley and ran a short distance and fell on his face, the blood from the wound inflicted bay- . ing filled his lungs and windpipe ; he bled profusely at the nose and mouth, as also at the wound, causing strangulation. According to the evidence given by NV. E. Hamer, who was eye-witness. detective shot first, one ball taking effect and killing, and the other lodg ing in the wall. Couzzens fired last and retreated. Couzzens lived upwards of twenty minutes after the shot was fired. Ile was carried from the place where he fell to the City Hotel porch, where he died. He was taken to the lock-up where an inquest was held. Intense excitement prevailed through out the evening. Funk's parents reside near Gardner's mills, Logan township, this county. Funk is a man of about thirty or thirty-one years old. Couz zens was about thirty-five years of age. Both are exceedingly well known in Altoona and vicinity as also are they here.

IVe. learn trtim an eld English author -that-they were.estahlishod as early .as 1327 by Edwird lIL "ildr. Dallaa. lit h46:CeulltrYtiat-Osed published in London in 1762, sass, that "Justices, of the Peace are not to prevent justice which may . be done in many ways ;‘,., they *vide/ pr them - selves faith the fear pf tiod, thaleTil.at troth and justice, and with the aathaiity and knowledge of the laws and statutes of the realm. They should do justice uprightly and indifferently, without da lay, partiality, far, or bribery; with stout and uprigl hearts, and oorrupt hands." ( tul Jug oes of the Peuee'were vested with civil ju -1 risdict n in 'Pennsylvania as early as 1715. The constitution of Pennsylvania, adopted in 1776, provided that Justice's of the " Peace should by elected.lby frie-belthss, io districts, and serve mew en yews. The constitution adopted in 130 vest.- ed in the Governor the power of appointing and commissioning Juiticee of - the .Peace, i3O long as they behaved well, without-limiting any tithe of service. This continued up to 182.8, when the Constitution was so amended that they werealect ' ed by the people, and the Governor to commission them for a term of five years, and no further change hat been made since. The reader will see that there has been much legislation in regard to Justices of the. Peace, and that they have held an important position in the jurisprudence of this Commonwealth ever since it had an existence. And while their jurisdiction has from time to time been extended and enlarged, so that many cases can be decided before them now, that could not be form erly, and while this is true, there is another fapt here worthy of notice, and that is, that the Legii lature have never, for more than 150 years, enlarg ed the sum for which Justices of the Peace may render judgment without further appeal, notwith standing money has changed much in value during , this time. This shows that during all this time there has been a want of confidence in the practic es of Justices of the Peace. If such bad not been the case, no doubt the sum would have been chang ed from $5.33 to $2O, or snore, from which no ap peal could be taken. Again, when a case is re ferred and left to three men as referees, or arbitra tors, the laws have fixed the sum from which no further appeal can be taken at $2O. Now the reader will se here, that while the Justice has the oath of office resting on him, and a better knowl edge of the law, or at least should have, he is on ly trusted in his judgment with $5.33, from which there is no further appeal, while the ratioes of each referee or arbitrator would be $6.663. This proves that the Legislature, who fixed these dif ferent sums from which no further appeal can be taken, had less confidence in Justices of the Peace than other men. An old English author, in speak ing of Justices of the Peace, says that, "They be called Justices because they be judges of record, and with all to put them in mind, by their name, that they are to do justice, which is to yield to ev • cry man his own according to the laws, customs, and statutes of the realm, without respect of per sons." Justices of the Peace often issue warrants in criminal cases when they should not. This fact is proved by the many little petty bills that are ignored by the Grand Jury and never come into court. Squires do this to make all they can out of their offices. People arc not aware that this adds considerable to our county taxes each year. Tax-payers complain much of our Poor DirectorF, and Commissioners, squandering the county funds, and while these complaints perhaps may be well founded, no one has ever thought of attaching any of this blame to Justices of the Peace. Now the reader will readily see that they play their full part in this game. Every bill ignored by the Grand Jury costs the county a considerable SUM, eves when the jury divide ths costs between the parties. Still, the Court.sits at a greatexpeaso to. the county. Therefoie every man who votes for a Justice of the Peace, shuuld remember that they have something to do in either adding to, or re ducing his county taxes. A Justice of the P4see should not issue a criminal warrant rashly, he should consider, deliberate, and should never lend himself or his office, to wicked or malicious per sons, but should calmly set in judgment, with an honest itart4 pm:ideals hands, holding the balance betvieit tlitparties and the Commonwealth, with out the least disposition to fear the one or favor the Other: 'We Venture to say that the Jbstice who will try his Commonwealth cases in this way, will have few, if any of them, ignored before the Grand Jury, and will save the county much costs. When Justices of the Peace were first appoint ed in England, the most able and competent men of the realm were selected, and so it was in the early history of our country. Then the office car ried honor and respect with it. But now any man lake call secure enough votes to elect him, and file his bond, can lift his commission and Squire as ' much as he pleases, without any one to molest or make him afraid. We say it is a shame in this enlightened age of our country's history that neith er honesty, intelligence, or education are required to fill the office of Justice of the Peace. We have kdown men in this county to vote for a man for Jdstice of the Peace, as a burlesque on other par ties, without ever thinking of him lifting his com mission, and the man thus elected lifted his cum mission, and served his term, to the no little an noyances of the community where he Squired. wo men in this county, sometime ago, had a settlement, one was a farmer, the other a laborer. The farmer paid the laborer all that was due him, according to his own account, but when the labor er got home be thought of one-half day's work that he had forgotten to charge the farmer with at settlement. lie met with Squire of the place and told hint the mistake he had made in settling with the farmer. "Well," said the Squire, "just leave your account with me and I will fetch it." A sum mons was issued by the magistrate, and on the• day of appearance, the farmer, on his way to the Squire's met the laborer who had sued him, and said tck him ? "why did you sue me? you and I have always been good friends, and, you know this half day's work was an oversight with both of us, when we settled, and all you had to do was to remind me of it, and I would have paid you at once.' "I know yen would," said the laborer, "and I did not want to sue you at all, hut the Squire persuaded die to do it." We relate this to show that while this Justice should have been a peace-maker be tween these two neighbors, ho has created discord, So that in all probability, they will never be good friends again, and made all this trouble in ore : to get a little cost off the farmer. We have know Squires to ask parties ;or bike to collect, so eager were'they for business, promising at the same time, to collect ini-the shortest time possible. We have tried to show up vome of the tricks and dishonesty practiced by Justices of the Peace, and while every thing we have stated 'a their practice is true, we do not wish thd reader to snonose that we think it is all done through dishot.ast motives. Some may practice, as we have ate ted, for want of proper knowledge to do better. Others may do so in order to make all they can out of the office, and thus they have practiced until they hare entirely lost sight of the evil they are doing, while quite a number practice, as we have sated, with a full knowledge of what. they are doing. Now we pro pose a remedy for this evil, and the only one, as we believe that-can prove effectual. In less than ova jriptifie term-of every Justice of the Peace w ho in - ' vAnis will expire. Then select the most hoitst Wad ittfficient men in every township and borough in the State, to fill their places; select meta 'of known integrity. If there is a man in the township or borough who needs good, sound judg ment, it is the Justice of the Peace, n.r in many cases they hold the place and exe nice the author ity of both . Jud,ge and jury ; and we believe that honesty, eennected with gat:id, sound judgment is worth more in a Justice of the Peace, than a knowl edge of the law. We venture the assertion that any roan of good sound judgment, who will decide a suit between parties horestly and fairly, just as lie would have them decide a case for him, udder like circumstances, that in nine cases out of ten he will decide according to law, as law is general by reasonable. ;tipd agrees with common sett,... Never vote for a man for Justice who is anxious for the office, such a man will be sure to farm the office, and make all he can out of it, without re— gard to justice. Never vote for a dishonest man for Justice, for there is nothing in the office calcu lated to improve him, but rather throws tempta , tions in his way to make hits more dishonest. Never vote for a conceity man for Justice, for he will feel certain he knows it ail before he commen ees, and of course, can never improve. But vote for the man who is sound in judgment, and Armed with the fear of Uod, and a lover of truth and jus tice, do this, and we venture to say that the time ,will soon be here when no one will blush to be called Squire; they will feel that they are just as honest as other men, and that their name carries honor and respect with it. In conclusion, let me say to every Justice, who may read the above: Never tell the plaintiff what you think of his case until you nave heard the de fense. Dever forget that you are a Justice of the Peace, and get to ',laying lawyer. Never emumit. or bind over a pereen for a criminal offense, with out reasonable proof of their guilt. Never ask any persou for business as a Justice. In pressing,the cellietton 'of bills during this panic, imagine your self the place of the Defendant. Never think less of yourself because you have the name of be ing a poor collector. Never tell the business of your office to any one. Always try to get the par ties before You to-settle their trouble, what ever it may be, without further litigs;ion. Never let tnen quarrel and abuse each other in your office, as you cannot allow this, and command respect in your office. Never forget the Golden rule, "do to others as you would have others do to you." A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
