OUTRAGE/US TREAT:Kt:IIT OF SOLDIER'S
ORPHANS AT•THE JACKSONVILLE Itisvr
vcrz —This flourishing Institution, un
der the kindly and beneficent superin
tendence of Rev. D. G. Kline has, of lste,
been very roughly treated by that formi
dable monster, Measles. At last account,
about thirty were down. Under the ef
ficient treatment of Dr. Jacob Rhoads,
the malady will soon be expelled- from
the pretaises. so scared that its return
may be considered doubtful- and then the
little ones may again attend to their
studies, se heretofore. It is not hard to
appreciate the situation of the attend
ants, where so many, at once, are strick
en down.
PUBLIC SALE.—There will be a pub
lic este of horses, colts, cows, young
cattle, breeding sows, shoats, wagons,
Kirby Reaper. Ste., at the residence of

fer, near Beech Creek, Clinton co-,
Pa., on Tuesday the 2nd of March next.
Mr. Sheaffer offers for sale four head of
work horses, five much cows, ten head of
young cattle, twenty-one head of sheep,
and a thousand and one other articles too
numerous to mention. There is money
and bargains in both these sales.
THE STOLEN MEAT.-It is now, we be
lieve, a settled fact as to who broke open
Ala smoke-house of Daniel Stover,on the
Willow Bank farm. Our efficient police
force, it appears, were toe sharp for the
thief. They have been on the alert ever
since the theft was committed, and at
last succeeded in obtainintevidence suf
ficient to warrant the arrest of Alexander
Delige. Delige had been in town for some .
time, looking out for well filled smoke
houses, &.e. fie is a bad colored man—an
old jail bird. Prut judging from the
character of the evidence against him,
we presume be will now be sent where
all "bad Diggers go,"to remain for seven,
perhaps ten years. As he is, however,
entitled to a fair trial first, we shall say
nothing to prejudice his case.
Col. Shortlidge and his efficient site

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP ALWAYS AHEAD.-
The Republicans of Liberty township,
met in convention in the school house,
at- Eagleville, on the 29th ult., for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
the various township offices, to be voted
for at the ensuing spring election. On
motion, Jno. T. Clark, was chosen pres
ident.; Jas. Galbreath. vice president,
and W. H. Snyder. secretary.
After a short.address by the president
stating the object of the meeting, and a
few preliminary remarks by W. F. Cour
ier, Robt Martin and others, the
house proceeded to ballot for candidates,
which resulted in the nomination of a
good ticket. •
On "motion, the nominations were
made unanimous. After which, at the
the suggestion of Mr. Conner, a fund
*was contributtd. and placed in hishands
to pay expense for, printing tickets. The
house adjourned in good order

THAT OYSTER SUPPER.-A magnificent
collation. consisting of oysters,ice cream,
cakes, &c., was served up at the house
of James 11. Rankin, Esq., under the au
spices of the I. 0. of G. T's. The ob
ject was to raise money. So far as this
went, it was a decided success. May they
have many more, and similar successes,
as none are more deserving of patronage.
The struggle of this benevolent and-bene
ficent institution has been severe, and
the public seemed to look upon it with
indifference, or partly, rather, "to see
which.licks" financial difficulty, or the
better cause. The workers in such an
institution should not have ell the pay
ing to do, as the expenses are heavy, anJ
more sacrifice required than some are wil
ling to incur. It is hoped that the be
nevolent will come to the rescue.
TOBACCO &owe—Capt. Fryberger who
has kept and continues to keep a first
class tobacco store in the Conrad House,
Allegheny Street, has opened another
extensive establishment in " the corner
room of the Bush & McLain building
near the depot. The Capt. is a clever
fellow, keeps first, rate chewing and
smoking' tobacco, segars, &c., and there
fore deserves success. We are 'pleased
to learn that our young friend S. C. Wal
ters takes charge of the store near the
depot on the first of March. Mr. Wal
ters is a model young man, honest, in•
dustrious and persevering Capt. Fry
bergor could not. have made a better se
lection. We wish them great success
in both stores.
PENNSYLVANIA It. It.— Arrangements
have been made by this enterprisirig
company by wLich all persons wishing
to go west, North-west, South or South
wLet, can procure through tickets, via
Salt Lake City, Mobile, New Orleans, St,
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnatti, &c. &c., at
the Bellefonte ticket office. This will
be a great saving to persons wishing to
move or travel West. We think it would
also be an advantage built to thr travel
ing community and the Railroad Compa
ny if the managers of tlie'rosd. would re . -
duce the fare. We are ev.isaeil that it
would nut lessen the dividends of the
Railroad Company, because the travel
would be increased. Be Ibis its it may.
vt'e are thankful for the privilege of pur
chasing through tickets in BelLfsnte.
WEhad the pleasure, the otherday.for
the first time, of seating ourselves in the
new and elegant ears of the day express
train. put on the B. E. V. R. It., on the
Ist inst. We were highly pleased with
the general or,er and aeatness of the
cars—the manner in which they were
kept—the gentlemanly demeanor end
obliging disposition of the Conductor,
Mr. Stevens, and his entire crew, all of
which were conducive to the comfort and
cheer of the passengers. The B. E. V.
It. It., with its two daily trains eaeh way
from Lock Haven to Tyrone,is one of the
most elegantly equipped and conducted
roads in the State. Those having charge
of the trains are gentlemanly and ac
commodating, looking carefully to the
safety and comfort of passengers, which
speaks well for its present administra
tion and superintendency.

Esq , proprietor of the Garman Hotel.
This is one of the best hotels in our ro
mantic town, and Mr. Garman keeping

how to keep a Hotel ; sets a good table
and charges moderate prices. Strangers
and travelers will find, it to their advan

• How TO MAKE "HARD TnsEs."—We
have noted this recipe going the rounds
of newspaperdom i frequently heretofore,
but like many other things, it loses noth
ing by age. On the contrary, it is es
pecially applicable to the present condi
tion of affairs. Paste it in your hat.
"A Good way to make •Hard Tinies;' is
tcirefuse to pay at little bills, although
you have the money in your pocket !
push men. to pay you who haven't the
money, although you can get along with- .
out it —if a man don't meet his obliga
tions just at the time they become due,
report that he is abo4 to "burst"- 7 cut
down the wages of your bands before it
is necessary—keep back all your market
until the prices get up - to 'starvation
rates'—use money in speculations that
you should pay your creditors with—
forget that unnecessary retrenchments'
increase hard times instead of bettering
them—carry along face and talk lotig
and mournful of evils to come—do those
and ether acts like them and 'hard
times' will surely come, however little
real clause there may be for them.""
A WORD TO YOUNG Max.—Young men
should understand, says the Harrisburg
Telegraph, that their future, under Prov
idence. depends upon themselves; and
Provide nce always helps those Who help
themselves. Success in life depends
upon industry and perseverance. The
world, it is said owes every man a living
and so it. does— if he earns it.
Good or bad habits are soon formed,
and are not likely to be changed. The
community soon find out what a young
man is, and• treat him accordingly• The"
steaiy and industrious can always find
'employment. No man is long without
work who really wants - it.
The young man who spends his leisure
hours in idleness and diasipation cannot
expect prosperity or- happiness in after
life. We do not mean-that ;very hour
is to : be occupied with mental and physi
cal labor. The mind, as well as the
body, requires rest, but the intervals of
. .
rest may be periods ofprogress. There
may be social .enjoynient wii 'taut seeking
for it in the haunts of dissipation, or
among companions whose only influence
can be for evil.
Life is too short to admit of any,por
lion of it being wasted. . The working
man who respects himself will not be
found hanging around taverns and beer
saloons ; the professional man will not
find time for thibilliard saloon or gam
ing table. The mechanic will devote his
leisure time to the improvement of his
mind.. The young physician or lawyer
will find his professional books more use
ful than billiards. Knowledge is power,
and by acquiring knowledge every man
fits himself for the emergencies of the
future.
FASHIONABLE RELIGION.—Fanny Fern
makes the following sharp thrust at
fashionable religion : Our Catholic
brethren have set us, at least, one good
example ; their churches are not silent
as the tomb on week-days. Their weir
shippers do not do up all their religion
on Sunday. It may -be only for a few
moments they step in through that open
Church door, on a week-day, to kneel
and lay down burdens too heavy ,else to
be borne. I like the custom. I should
rather say the reminder, and the oppor
tunity thus afforded them ; and I hear
tily wish that our proteitant churches
could thus be opened. If rich Christians
object to the promiscuous use of their
velvet cushions and gilded prayer-books.
at least let the aisles and the altar be
free to those who need God on the week
day—for the-poor, the tried, the tempted
—for those who shrink, in their shabby
habiliments, from the Sunday exhibition
of fine toilettes, and superfine Christian
ity. Were I a minister, and obliged to
preach to paniers and diamonds and sat
ins, on Sunday, I think I should have to
ease my heart in some such way as this
to make my pastordl life endurable, else
my office would seem to me the most
hollow of all mockeries. "The rich and
the poor meet together, and the Lord is
the Maker of them all," should be in
scribed out side my church door, bad I
one. I could not preach to those paniers ,
and their owners. My tongue would be
paralized at the sight of thotie kneeling
distortions of womanhood, bearing such
a resemblance to organ-grinders' mon
keys. I am not sure that I should not
grow hysterical over it, and laugh and
cry at the same breath, instead of preach
ing. I can never tell what vent my dis
gust would take ; but I am sure it must
have some escape valve. Iltut may say
that such worshippers (Heaven save the
mark!) need preaching to. I tell you
that women given over to "the devil
and his works" are past praying for—
"having eyes, they see not ; having ears,
they hear not." They are ossified—
impervious ; they. are Dead sea apples,
full of ashes." Fanny, for a woman as
she is, strikes some hard blows.-

MESSES, EDITORS:-I have had the
pleasure of examining every number of
the Republican, as it issued forth from
the press, and found its way to my sanc
tum ; the doing of which has afforded
me no small degree of. satisfaction.
After the careful perusal of its several
numbers, I am prepared to say that I
like the Republican, and intend making
it my constant companion, and enclose
herewith, the amount of one years sub
scription. It may be well enough to
state why I think favorably of the Re
publican. Well, firstly ; as a •clergy
man Domine," would eay, they being
supposed to be exemplars, there can be,
no reason wby we should not ape them a
little sometimes, because every body who
has seen and read at all,thinks favorably
of it. Then it is neatly gotten Up, and
its matter orderly and systematically
arranged ; it lceslisee generally, picks

public are eager for, and strengl y vocates reform. But again, (please ex
cuse the ministerial) its editorial chair
must : be broad; "Solid Andlrmly:leated,
because its editorial columns boldly ad
vance its political principles, bearing
with them the conviction that truth and
human rights lie at their. foundation.
The elevated tone of its dicussion, ad
dresses itself to the intelligence and
reason of the reading and thinking coin
muuity, instead of indulging in the
basest of appeals to the basest of men's
passions ; of which indulgence,toe man:) ,
of our public journali are guilty ; thus
catering to the depravity, ignorance and
prejudice, instead of enlightening and
elevating mankind, and thereby pervert
ing, what Should' be the-true object of
public, journalism. ; The vigorous man
ner in which it attacks, and denounces
the pernicious doctrines, Which, advoca
ted by the democracy. led to rebellion,
and which rebellion has virtually settled
forever ; but to which the blind demon
racy yet cling, like a drowning man to
straws, feeling assured if they let go
their - present hold or position they sink
to rise no more ; causes it to meet with
many a hearty welcome.
There is up doubt, that if the present
fearless and vigorous course of the Re
publican be continued in the advocaCy
of the right; it must meet with . unexam
pled success; and will do much to redeem
once again old Centre front its present
political thraldom, and the misrule of
the Court Houie ling, who manipulate
the democracy of tbe county, and espe
cially that of Pennsvalley, for their own
aggrandizement - and thellling of their
own coffers, at the people's expense.
Prophesying for the Republican a grand
success, and that:ere long it will occupy
an advanced position among its compeers
of the State, we heartily extend to it
the earnest friendship and support of
this portion of the county and will with
pleasure, occasionally communicate the
state of our health in general, and espe
cially the state of our political health
which seems just now to be tolerably
good. Yours &o.
DEAR. REPUBLICAN :-Why, no, the
machine ain't broke ; but : there is so
much friction in this !.'stillage," . that
any kind of machine, not driven by
steam is- likely to run slowly—and .1
can't often get up steam enough to start
the critter. Don't understand me that
Chicago is a slow town--:on the contrary
it is somewhat fast: Fast men, fast wo
men, fast "horses," in fact anything
that is not fast had - as well stand aside
* for things "go" with a looseness here
aways. I don't -mean that our people
are loose, nor on the other band would
I have you imagine that they - are habit
ually tight. I have seen a few tight ones
-Who iloubtless felt pretty loose. If I
mistake not I once saw one er more
young gents from Bellefonte, who could
not, in fairness, have been charged with
being beastly sober !
Chicago people are noted, the world
over, for their morality and strict hon
esty. In fact it is a general asylum for
over-honest men. If you have any such
in Bellefonte, just send them along thus
ward and 1 assure you they will find the
latch string out and anxious friends
awaiting them, ready to take them &-
Plenty of men have been thus welcomed !
I know of one" confiding gentleman from
the valley of Penn,just over the Nittany's
mount, you know, who was checkmated
to amount of $5OO or mere. He innocent
ly exehangedit for- a check. The check
turned out not to be "guilt edged(' it
seems, He says they Durst not do it
again. Of course I will not mention
names, and italics have no reference to
I know, too of au amorous old gray
beard, a regular Rip Vanwinkle, who
having slumbered for three times twenty
years among your mountains concluded
to see something of the world. He came,
he saw and was conquered. He made
the acquaintance of a fair young dame/Z.
He desired her to travel with him, and
said "wilt thou," and she wilted. They
travelled and thereby hangs a tale !
When they went and what they did
"'twould never do
_to tell," at home. It
may be said, however, that the gentle
man of the fleecy locks was fleeced of all
his money ere they parted. She had
been there before !
Yes, Chicago is fast and is growing
faster. I verily believe that if sone of
the slow ones I have seen in old Penn
sylvania were to drop suddenly into
some of our streets they would think the
day of judgment at hand,or imagine that
Stonewall Jackson, "mit his prass pand"
was after the people •
It, is said that the first queetion pro
pounded by Bostonians to visitors to the
"hub" is "have you seen'the organ 2"
On visiting Chicago the first question to
the stranger is "have you seen the tun
nel?" This ;refers to the great tnnael
under the river. I heard an Indiana
Hoosier say that on last Sunday he vis
ited one of our fashionable churches.
When the "sassy passir" Came around
Hoosier dropped in a dime. The large
amount of the contribution attracted the
attention of the money-getting brother
who leaned over and whispered,myour'e
a stranger ain't you ?" "yes," answered
our friend• "Have you -been through
the tunnel ?" Now this tunnel is no
small affair ; passing as it dries under
the busiest, dirtiest, most stinking river
in the world. The entire length .of the
tunnel is 1,603 feet. There are . two
roadways for vehicles and one for foot•
passengers. There should be one for
velooipedes ! The contract was awar
ded on July 19th, 1867,f0r sum of 5328,-
500. This amount did not, however
cover the cost of building. Only eight
een months from award of contract to
completion of tunnel, it being opened
January Ist 1869. No othercityin the
world would have accomplished such a
herculean task in double the time—so

Whew ! About six genuine Chicago men
with the capital that is rusting out in
Bellefonte, and the" natural advents-.

net contain. I doubt not you have some
energetic men in your town who have
public spirit—a - good deal of it; but
wl.; I.
kno -some,. who, if they ,ad no more
money than they have public spirit and
business energy, would be inlthe poor
house to day; men who instead of being
of any use to community are mere clogs,
hindering those who would do good.
They have laid up their treasure—not
in -Heaven—some iihere—tied np" in a
rag, or "salted" in a miserly Stocking•
leg for anything I know. Now, stack
ing legs are good things—lair !obi*
upon—when well filled with another kind
of treasure—and rags are good enough
in their place , but I don't like to set
them used for the purpose of hiding
capital which should be in use: Pull
down your stocking legs—l- mean those
with the money in them, -and expose
your treasure--I mean the money, and
things will look up, and something will
be done.
There are just a few Bellefonte men
in this neck-o-timber. Capt. J. G: Mo-
Meen is in the drug business here, at
least he was last time I saw him—a

real, estate. Your Boalsbuti friends

Now, there ! Oh, dear Republican
have you a waste basket ? If you have
'nt go out and get one, "to wunst ;" for
you can't run a printing office without
one. You will have so many "original
communications," so . much "original

obliged to insert many of them in the
weekly edition of the waste basket—and
that's just what you can do with this
