David Doty, of this place, and two sons of his uncle, Lucien Wilson, of Oakland Mills, this county, sailed from New York on a busiues trip to England, Scotland and France, on Saturday. Nearly all of the Democratic brethren are hurrahing for Wolfe, but they will vote for the oilier man. They'll giro Wolfe the benefit of their stout and the other candid ate the benefit of their vote. Do you see the point. A lire cracker thrown on the roof of a house owned by Cloyd Parker in Patterson set the shingles on tire last Saturday even ing belere dark. The lire was discovered and outened by mea who work on the coal wharf. David Hawk sold his house and lot on' Water istreet, last Saturday, at public sale to bis brother, John Hawk, for three hun dred and seventy-seven dollars.

There is a bill in Congress that has the at tention or all the lawyers of that body. The import of the bill is to prevent Congressmen from acting as lawyers for companies that are asking for Congressional legislation. It is no uncommon occurrence lor a lawyer in Congress to act as tbe paid attorney for a measure upon which he ia to vote. If they are charged with bribery, in such cases they try to shield themselves by declaring that they were professionally engaged. David Davis, of Bloomington, 111., died at 6 o'clock on Saturday morning. It was he who successfully coached Liucoln into the nomination for the Presidency in 1860. Lincoln appointed him to the Supreme Court. He was elected to the United States Senate from Illiuois, aud resigned the po sition on the Supreme Bench. After his term in the Senate expired be lived quietly in Bloomington. He was born in Cecil coun ty, Maryland. He died from the eflects ot kidney troubles and a carbuncle on tbe back of his neck. Some oue in Altoona has been in the hab it Ol stealthily approachiug girls from be hind and cutting off their plaits or hair. On the evening of tbe 25th of June about 8 o' clock while Lottie Kreider, aged about twelve years, daughter of K. W. U. Kreiier, formerly or this place, but now of Altoona, was walking on the pavements of that town, this hair catting rascal stealthily came up fiom behind and attempted to cut off her splendid plait ol hair almost two feet long. The hair thief did not get the hair- Two of the strands were cut through, the third strand was not cut and that fact saved her hair from being stolen. A despatch was sent from this place last Sunday to a Harriaburg paper, giving au ac count of the poisoning of a lot of men em ployed at a ssw mill in the vicinity of Wa terloo, this county. The story stated that they bad taken the poiaon by drinking from a stream of water that ran by the mill, and that it was believed some jealous purawn had poisoned the water. We are glad to au nounce that there is no foundation in the story further than the tact that five of the men employed on the mill have taken sick at different times within tbe past montli. Oue of tbe men has typhoid fever. The other four men are afflicted with different ailments. So Sheritl Fowles, who has been iu that vicinity within the past few days, reports. Tbe Philade Iphia Bulletin of June 21, re marks : A letter Irom a Kansas druggist to a student of a uuiv ersity w ho applied for a situation as a prescription cierk reads as follows : "Perhaps you understand the nature of a Drug Store iu kansas we Do Some liquor Business in a Back Room By tbe Drink our Prescription trade Runs from two to three tbousaud Pr year Some Clerks objects to the Back Room trade 1 give you the facts in the case So that yon w ill not be Disappoint ed." This shows how the "liquor Business" Is conducted in a State where liquor-selling is prohibited by law. It is the State also of Mr. J- P. St. John. High license laws, pre perly enforced, would do much more to sup press the liquor frame than prohibition as it exists iu Kansas, Maine and some other btates. Communication. FEs.aaaa.GU, June 23, 1SS6. The Tost committee that white-washed at the Mc Ahstorville school have at last dropped to the fact that they didn't see what Governor Pattiaon saw. Of course they didn't and they would be no more com petent witnesses on his points than the man in the moon, but they were in such a hurry to get out a report to contradict the Gover nor thai they missed seeing thing that tbey might have seen if they Ladu't been looking through a fixed up spy -glass foi tbe occa sion. The account or what they saw should by all means be, locked up in the fire-proof safe in the Court House. Tbey should send tor the great three throated dog that guard ed the golden garden of Hydreedrees, he could lie in tbe high weeds at the Bridge street entrance unseen by the villain that would dare to 'tarnish the records made by our noble defendeis on the fatal field of McAlisterville. Thus stalked tbey, death was in their looks. Upon their ear, the signal word Of strife and death was hourly breaking. On their swords their feverod Hands must grasp in waking. I sent soma of tbe Chaplain's health re storing molasses away for analysis. 1 sup pose I'll have to buy a Latiu and English diciionary and a spelling book before I can make out the report or returns when they are sent in. Tbe doctors should be com pelled to write their prescriptions in United States languge. I sm an American and can not see the sense in resorting io an old played out, outlandish la ugusge in order to appear learned. I am for Americana to gov ern America. Abolish the Soldiers' Or phans' Schools, and put America for Amer icans in our platforms and we can beat any that the erring brethren put into the field. "Enough ot that," says Mrs. P.

Yours Truly, P. Leo Whitz. Talked with Ul Ilanda. Those of onr citisens who attended the Teachers' Institute in 18M, remember the manner or gesticulation of Rev. Waldo Me saros, while lecturing. It was remarked on that occasion, "If Messaros is a typical Greek speaker, the German, who talks a great deal with his hands, is not to be com pared to the Greek for hand talk." Gestic ulation or hand talk is a great help in the delivery of a speech, unless the speech has been committed to memory, l.ke a piec- of declamation. Tbe trouble or preacher Mea saroa with hi. Christian sister, Mrs. Couls .....i . miner column I ton sec parucuu... - ! ..Ue, from too much hand talk. All her l.,,roh;m would have failed .r he had talked less with his band. J in bis statement, that ho place! h hrnj la her shoulder and " crera,ed- Tbe cxt time he grow, eloquent wh h Uuds iu the presence of one ot U. living, handsome, active working, Christian wom en of his flock, he'll pot his bands in hi. pockets, behind his back, anywhere, except ing on the fair one's shoulder. How nice it would have been ir he had shoved his hand Lp through bis hair or twirled bis mustache, instead of putting it (on his christian sister's shoulder. An ordinarv christian brother or sister in the church would not have taken oSenae at having an eloquent pastor place his talking hands on their shoulders, but extraordinary church people like tbe Coulstons cannot stand to have a talking hand placed on their shoul der. It strikes in. Extraordinary aitra. like sister Coulston, perhaps, had seen the pastor talk with some other sister with his bands on her shoulder and conjectured that as she and her husband were about to leave the church, it would be the way to start the cry ot bad man against the pastor, so tbe trap was set, and tbe eloquent Messar. os walked into her little pvlor, became ex cited over the conversation to grant a cer tificate or withdrawal to her husband and talked to such degree with his hands, and the woman screamed and sprung the trap upon him with Tour helping conspirators. her husband, her sister, and two male friends all christian-Sunday-sctiool work era, aud the lour placed the pastor m a most unenviable position. We have known such thinzs to haDDen ontside of Philadelphia among laymen who talked too much with their hands aud rest ed them on female shoulders and were blackmailed for their band talk. Moral, don't talk too much with your bauds to ex traordinary women. Fourth or July at Gettysburg. A Grand Demonstration on the Field. The encampmennt of tbe Grand Army of the Republic aud the reunion of the Third Army Corps at Gettysburg will appropriate ly occur on tbe anniversary of the great bat tle which was waged on the historic grouud twenty-three jears ago. The Pennsylvania Department of the Graud Army of tbe Re public encamps on the field from July 2d to Ttb, and on the 2d and 3d the reunion ot the Third Army Corps will be held. During the entire week ceremonies of the most interest ing character will be held every day, which will be participated in by the veterans of the fight. It is expected that from live to seven thousand members of the Grand Armv of the Republic will be present, including ma ny officers who were engaged in the tlgbt. Generals Sickles, Fitzhugh Lee, and Long street have accepted invitations to ba pres eut and to speak. Tbe meeting will un doubtedly bo oue of the most imposing dem onstrations of modern times, aud wili be worthy of the presence of every American citizen. To those who desire to got all tbe points of the battle no better opportunity ever present itself, lor in addition to the number ot soldiers who were engaged iu the fight there will be a large number of exper ienced guides who will point out to visitors every spot of interest and give all tbd infor mation possible as to the e euts of the mem orable da a of the battle. For tbe benefit of the large number of visitors who w ill be drawn to Gettysburg the Pennsylvania Rail mad Company will sell excursion tickets from all principal stations on its liues cast ol Pittsburg and Erie on June iiuih, July 1st, 2 1, 3d, 4ih and 5th, good to returu un til the lmli inclusive, at one fare lor Uij round trip. Letter Irom Kamas. Torska., Kansas, June 17, 188S. Ma. Editok : We bave been having nice rains that about insure our corn and oats, but our wheat will be a short crop, it is not yet fully estimated, however, farmers that have threshed their wheat say it is turning out better Ulan they thought it would. The first car over a new railroad came iu yestor day. Two others are building, and a prom inent Topeka raiiroad man told me last ev ening that they are surveying an air line to Chicago, wiih that and tbe Rock Island rail road coming here, we fuel jubilant. This party tells tuo the A. T. aud Santa Foe rail road kaa four thousand miles of road and wili build eight hundred more this summer, They now couuect with Galveston, Texas, that means cheap freight to au I from New York. We aoou will be able to reach Phil adelphia and New Yoik with as cheap Ireigbl rates as you Juniata people, and we are as near to tbe old world markets as you. The U. U. L. K. 11. pays out ta employees $123,000 a month iu Topeka. When we caiue hero the road was built eighteen utiles west of here. XLy built right along every day, hauling on tne track dining cars and sleeping cars wiih the constructing train so that their lodgings and eating places were always up to the place of working. They drove their beef cat lie with them among tbe bull'alo, the cayots, wolves snd so forth. Sometimes the herd ot buffalo was so dense, that the cars w ere stopped. Tbe Indian cow will soon be an animal of the past. To see them on the plains as I saw them, you could not think they could ever bo de stroyed. It was not tho thousands that were killed. It was the crowding of them. They are like the Indian, and cannot live confin ed, they must huve plains to range or roam over. To see a tame buffalo gives but an imperfect idea. When they mu tbey raise both feet of one side at once and rock back and forth, and do not appear to be going fast, but try to catch one with a horse and we soon find that thry are running about as fast as a horse can ruu. We are still on a boom in our town as strangers all ssy that ! viidt us. We had a call from Uriah Sliuinan I and bride aud Lewis Gillfillen this spring, but they did not stay long enough to even see the town. A word to the young men. The saying is, the rurtber west tbe prettier are the ladies, purs air and lots or prairie to run over to gather button-hole boquets. S oroe or our young men play sharp on Un cle Sam's generosity. They engage a girl, then thy go out and each homestead 100 acres, and a timber land claim of 160 acres, and take in a section or the old fire side land. It does sppear that is sbusing his gen erosity. He had almost to give all bis chil dren a rarm, but his domain is getting small very fast. Cheap land will soon be a thing or the past. True, these immense tracts will be divided up. Oh, what a pity tboso Eng lishmen are permitted to come here and buy millions or acres. Why does Congress per mit it 1 We will some day have the Irish land lord system over us. Why not stop it f They will be worse than the Indians. Fourteen miles north-west of us there is gO.OOO acres held by tho Potawattosno In dians and no improvements on it. If it was not for tbera it would be cut up into 100 acre farms. If yon have any of them at I Carlisle, when you send them home they I will lay in the shade just as others do. I h v been among them ever since I left ' hon-e- tj-- Jut iata valley aud went to In t dutna. There is no use in UlLiug, a luil blooded Indian will not work. I must stop, good-bye. T. B.

In compliance wub tbo requirements ol tbe law, I bave tbe honor to submit here with my written report ol tbe public schools j of Juniata couuty tor tbv..Pat tC6 years, ending June 7, ltoS : In a county like ours tbe character of the schools, taken tcgether, should not bo ex pected to present any Very sudden or mark ed change in tbe space covered by this re port. Tbe ear now closed has been one in w hich many changes bave occurred, more erhaps than usual. In many instances the diucior secured tbe services of excellent teachers, and the schools under their charge were a complete success. In some districts the services of cither first or second rate teachers were not to be bad, and as s con sequence, the schools uuuer their charg.' were not so succenslul. But it may bo said of tbe greater number of onr teachers, that tuey have given satisfaction, proving them selves capable, earnest aud zealous in the discharge ol all Ihe duties devolving npon them in their respective lioids of labor. May tbe number of fait 111 ul teachers bo largely mulliplied, supplying the great want iu our educational system exerting a health! ul in fluence and atlording ttlicient instruction iu every district in the county. bix new bouses have been built durtug tbo psM two years, and three are now building. Our uirecturs aud citizens are zealous in this respect, hence as fast ss means will warrant, houes unsuitable to tho needs of communities are replaced with new ones. Some of the out-bui'.diugs are not construct ed in accordance with the law, and lew mei t the demand for cleanliness and pro priety. The directors should bave these buiplings put, and constantly kept in proper order- For directors or teachers to neglect thi, is to furnish and example purely de moralizing and debasing. Wry little has been dono toward Iraprov i ng the school grounds. Some trees were planted on Arbor day, in several districts. Every nchool site should be closred of all rubbish, inclosed with a neat fence, and made pleasantfor the plays of the children Much of the old-time I urn it. ire has been re placed with comfortable and inviting seats and d sks to tbe delight of all concerned. SCHOOL-BOOH DECOIATI03. To thia fact we wish to call especial at tention. Onr teachers are fast realizing the fact, that, not from books alone dees tbe mind receive its food, but thought is awak ened, tha soul lifted up, character formed, in short, that education in all iu bearing upon the young is greatly promoted by the silent influence of plaut and flower, mottos and engravings, that decorate and beautify wirdow and wall of tbe school-room. 1 have olt?o been led to see and leel, by contrast I the difference in the progress of two schools i equally favored in other respects, but one lacking tact on tne part of tbe teacher to render attractive aud teach lesaous not foand in the regular cnrrcnlnm. ACFAKArci. Very liiUe improvement has been made J ru ullUiiJi,g.xi u good ; i!ow and unchang in tLU direction. Some believe it of no tjn- I ed. portance merely a bill of expense. We think differently. Experience as a teacher and as an examiner of schools convinces ns that, one of the best means of advancing the schools is by purchasing apparatus. Every school room should be furnished with pri mary and elocutionary charts, an unabridg ed dictionary, large Bible and outline maps, and no teacher should be employed who will not agree to nse them. Fourteen public examinations were held each year. 1 adopted a combination of the oral and written methods, believing this to be the means of economizing time and more accurately determining the qualifications of tbe teachers. The directors generally met in official capacity, to judge the fitness of tbe applicants, and select their teachers for tho coming term. A targe number of the citizens attend many of tbe examinations, an evidence, that the people in general are intciestud in their schools and the cause of ed ncation. We bad a very interesting and profitable county institute, and some of the good seed sown speedily germinated in the school-room, ss we bad occasion to note. Four local institutes were held during the year, and all were well attended and quite a degree of interest manifested. All the schools were visited twice except one in Fermanagh. These visits were made with a view to ascertain the plans and inolhods pursued by the teacher, to aoggest changes where needed, to learn obstacles in tbe way of progress, to suggest remedies, and give advice and encouragement to pupils and teacher. Permit me to say, in this contuse- I tiou, that very fw of our schools are rogu larly visited by the parents and officers, therefore, let me say to all onr people, come, let us smile in this great work, and wbenev possible encourage our teachers by a friend ly visit to the school room. The old com plaints waut of pnnctuality and irregulari ty or attendance still exert a banerul influ ence in the schools. Perhaps as tbe law now is, there can be no cure for these evils; yet, nevertheless, they are a decided injurv to both teacher and scholars. When will par ents and guardians learn not to wrong them selves by wronging their children in depriv ing tbem of them of the full benefit of the entire school term. At the risk of being de nounced for reiterating common places, we once more inveigh against the serious polf cy of low salaries and cheap teachers. This folly crigpleg us more than we care to tell. It has driven many ol our best teachers away never to return and their places are taken by inexperienced and in some instances in competent persons. This is very near akin to throwing money away, and should bo rem edied at any reasonable cost. In conclusion, we desire to thank the de partment for the continued courtesy and kindness which we received, and pray that in th future, s in the past, it may con stantly maintain its excellent record. The directors, teachers, patrons and pres bave maintained iu cordial relations with the Su perintendent, aiding him with their pf-ence sympathy and advice whercvorand whenev er practicable, for which they have our h-ar-ty thanks. We iuvoke the blessing of Heav en npon them all,. as also upon our incom parable system ol education, to which the greatness ot our grand old Commonwealth is largely due. W.
