Welcome to call again. —Subscribers are coming in rather iively for such a contemptible-Liebdom adal" as the JOURNAL. Come along frieuds—the more the merrier and we will do our level best to make our fond ling little JOURNAL just a trifle the laciest local paper in this part of the moral vineyard. Yes, we will make the far fly from someboby's classic pate where there isn't much to spare—and don't any of you forget it. — l The firm of Br. £, S. Deshler & Son is dissolved by mutual consent. Tho books and accounts are in the hands of E. J. Deshler for settlement, where all who know themselves indebt ed are requested to call without delay. Dr. E. J.

J, DESHLER* Jan. 13. 1383 Bfc i —We trust our readers will be as much gratified over the letter of our young friend Wm, EL. R >te, in another column, as we were. It is a little lengbty and we thought to abridge it pome, but could not see just what to take out—it is so interesting, even fas cinating, throughout. His vivid ac count of the institution he attends shows a mastery over language seldom found in a young man, and we hope the closing words of his letter, although not so intended, may prove prophetic of his own history. —James W. Moyer recently visited his father Uriah Moyer, who sits in tho Snyder county jail aivaitiug the execu tion of death sentence which is to take place Feb. 28th. James came from his home in the west to see his father for the last time. He is described a3an in telligent yoang man, and the scenes were most effecting. Father aDd son emdraced each other and exchanged many a fond kiss, while both were so overcome with grief that all was silent eavetlie sobbings of the father and son, —A State temperance convention and mass-meeting will be held at Har risburg, Feb.

Each county society is entitled to send five delegates, and local organizations, churches, lodges, &c, may send two delegates each. —The Mifflinburg Telegraph advises the boys of that town as follows. Our Millheim boys don't need any urging on that line of duty : That's right, boys, if you want to put up a job on your "pap"—make him pay a doctor's bill—just hang on to a sleigh and have a leg broken. The pain you may have to suffer will be light in comparison to the fun you will, experience on seeing your mother weep over your affliction. Yes, hang on to the sleighs. —The Philipsburg Journal says that Congressman Curtin has a bill which he will submit to the the House at an early day, making some radical but highly necessary changes in our pension laws. Tlio proposed new law is to do away with the whole special agent sys tem and substitute the jurisdiction of courts. llis plan, in brief, is to pro side for the same hearing and examina tion now had before the agents of the United States for the Pension Depart ment, hut that such hearing and taking of testimony shall be done by the local co*irt sitting in chambers and trans mitted to the Pension Office. A CHAP WITH A CONSCIENCE. —A valued friend and subscriber in Ohio writes us under date of Jan. 25th as fol lows : The other day a strange feeling overcame mo which I could not ac count for. I felt as if I had defratded somebody, but could not reccolloct whom, when all of a sudden the thought dashed on my mind that I had neglected to pay my subscription for the JOURNAL. So enclosed please find SI.OO. Send your paper on. I think now, after I hear that you received your oicn I will feel better, and hope others in the same fix may do likewise. I don't know really why it is that wo so often forget or neglect tho poor edi tors. —Brother CorneliNS, of the Lewis burg Chronica •, speaks our experience and sentiments so weli, in tho follow ing item, that we could not have done it better ourselves : Manv of our pate r;ms throughout the valleys wonder why the marriages, deaths and other happenings in their locality do not ap pear in the columns of their paper. The simple reason is that we do not have the facts. All that sort of infor mation we publish gratis, and we trust that some one in each locality will take enough interest in such matters as to !ad vise us of them. In all cases, re t member, we want a responsiole name to fall back upon, so that, if the Infor mation may be incorrect or offensive to anybody, the fault will not stop in our hands. Send aloug your locals, la dies and gentlemeu. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.— Prof. D. M. Wolf will preside at the Teachers' In stitute which will convene here en the evening of Feb. Oth, and continue its session the day following. The dis trict includes five townships and our borough. In this territory there are many talented teachers and as several uf the most prominent have promised to l>e present and take an active part,it will doubtless be an interesting and profitable occasion. The school board recently met and appointed Messrs. A. Walter, P. S. Moyer and S. D. Mssser as an committee to secure places for holding Institute and procure enter tainment for teachers. We would urge npon the citizens the necessity of their active Co-oporation with directors and teachers. The Institute can not fail to be a great benefit to our town in awak ening new zeal and enthusiasm in school work on the part of teachers, di iectors and patrons. Therefore let ns give the teachers a hearty welcome, and by our presence during their delibera tions show our interest iu educational work. W. G. .MORRISON, DEINTNGER ( r bitUrbocst Dicterich 1 Having fixed upon the order In which we propose' to treat "Unser Fritz," we can not permit him to di vert us from our courso by anything he may say intermediately. Wo will in duo time show up the various phases of our "snbject"—-his boasted democracy, the false and absurd claim ho sets up that the Reporter is fifty-flvc years old, its tremendous "circulation," his sys tem of bulldosing subscribers and conn* ty officials, and we may even- give the details of the noted Cartoon —Pickclkart dog story, showing what Freddy's Jacksonian democracy was worth In dollars and cents, in Ihe memorable campaign of 1850. Patience, friends, you shall be satiated to the full—and so will our dear ftieml Freddy. Reverting again to lining called a •Taek-of-all-trades wo have a few addi tional things to say, viz : qcnerallu that we have fairly succeeded in every busi ness enterprise we ever undertook, con sidering our modest means ; and speci ally that it is a real pity for Freddy's sake that inadequate pay forced us to quit the profession of teaching, which we loved and followed acceptably for eleven years. Were we still a teacher Freddy might with much profit attend our school for at least lire years in suc cession. First of all and before all we would touch him the fundamental principles of truth and fairness In speaking of and dealing with his fel low meu. Next we would instruct him i:i the Elements of English Grammar, Composition, ( Satzbildung) Rhetoric ami Logic—in ail of which he Is so sad ly deficient ; and lastly, just for orna ment, wo would teach/iim a Utile Lat in—provided his contracted cranium still had sufficient vacum left to take it in. Undor such a course PretLhy might yet become a measurably useful man in his approaching cid age, in stead of being a selfish, contracted grasping fellow, who thiuka the whole universe ought to "circulate" around him end hir> powerful Bcporler. "An honest confession is good for the aoul." Freddy makes a rather full confession lu the Rqtorlcr of Jan. 18th, but it amacki entirely too much of braggadocio to augur zincerity aud re pentance. He says : *'As for the importer, vo tr>ot ,f, its editor, its hook*. papers, tiles, title, records, Its democ racy—sou land spirit—all ibi'.t rrally constitutes a JourrrM, to Centre Pall, in '6ft, and went rljfht on wi;hoiit lnteruptlou comnnuoiug its new scriej." So you took it,Frtddv,did you r Now that is the exact story we and mi*uy cl the lost citizens of Aaronsburg and vicinity, heard a venerable old mac re late, but in au entirely different tenor and spirit—yoa with a sorrowful heart and in tears did old Mr. Ludwig Kurtz tell the sad story, Low "my Fritz" treated him in this matter. On this very point wo have a few questions to ask Freddy, and aro happy that he himself opens the door so un wittingly but widely. We will do it in the form of an open letter, Rid, lest he should rate us as lacking courtesy aud politeness, will address him by Ills full name and well earned title : Journal Sanctum, Millheira, Pa., Feb. Ist, 1883. Honorable Frederick Kurtz, Ex-member of the Legislature, Eli tor of 4 'the largest paper In Centre county/' Ccnrle Hall, fa. Dear Sir When you 'look the Jitportcr to Cen tre Hall "soul and spirit—all that real ly constitutes a paper," leaving the old man only such worn-out type as were "fit for hell," as you yourself say, wag it your property in whole or In part ? Liferentially you say that it was all yours, for it seems you toc,k what you choose and left what you pleased. Put if so, why did you wo; take tho sub scription list along, for you would not for a moment pretend that the 175 sub scribers with which started your bast ard "Centre Hall PKroitTiir.," consti tuted the subscription list of the old "Centre Jlerielrfer" alias "jJimokratisa cr Beiichter," for which lator title you "abandoned" the original oue of the! poor, old thing ? ; Now please do u8 a favor for once in | yoqr life, even if you have r.o sausages sr ponhoss to spans, and answer our question liko a man. Don't evade— don't dodge bv calling us a "hater of democracy" and "this Millheiin Solo mon"—for that does not answer tho 1 questions—-and wo will have seyeral others ready for yon just as ugly as soon as these are fairly disposed of. In due time wo will ventilate your democracy—since you have for years been so much exorcised about ours, but the "Solomon" compliment we can not return,even ironically, much as we feel inclined to show you a kindeess, for a long personal acquaintance with us ought to have taught you that we "Can not, can not tell a lie."
