THE COSKELIJIVIUJT RAILROAD. —We have been credibly informed that fifty men will at once be employed on the Pittsburgh and Con nellsville Railroad, at the Sand Patch Tunnel. Work is to be commenced this week. About the middle of November, a final decision will be made about the company's charter and we understand, if favorable to the company, a large force will be put upon the road and that it will he pushed to completion with in twelve months. The company is said to have one million dollars in hand and have made arrangements for all that they need and as fast as they need it to construct the road. 1 Ins is the most gratifying news we have heard for some time. The road can be constructed within one year's time, if the proper force is put upon it, and we tyost tfcat jt will be done. ' et there be no unnecessary (]p|*y.— Somer- Dtmon at, BLAIR COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS.— We copy the following prominent cases which were disposed of by the Blair county Court at its late session, from the Altoona Tribune. Several of the parties named are well known in this county: Court was in session at Hollidaysbarg dur the entire of last week and the greater part o( the present week, every day (Sunday ex cepted) and several mights being occupied in disposing of eases brought up for adjudication. It was a noticeable fact that more persons were in attendance during the first week of the term than at any time since the breaking out of the rebellion, and as the proceedings of that week are alone of public interest, we ap pend the details of the several cases as we find them in our Hollidaysburg exchanges. The great trial of the session was that of the Burkholder family and others upon the charge of stealing goods at various times from the cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at this place. The trial excited more than usual interest and formed altogether one of the saddest spectacles ever presented to a court of justice. An almost entire family ac cused of a high misdemeanor, and after a fair and impartial trial found guilty as to all but one of the parties implicated! It is diffi cult to account for the mis-doings of so many of the same household, far above want and its attendant temptations, upon any other hy pothesis than that of a monomania for steal ing. Be that as it may, they have been prac tically taught the bitter lesson that "the way of the transgressor is hard," and their case should serve as a warning for all lime to copie to evil-doers of every grade. It is a matter of regret that the greatest villain of them all should have escaped merited punishment by turning State's evidence, but branded as a thief and a Judas, his position among those who know him will be far from an enviable one, and his conscience, if it be not entirely deadened, sbould goad him to follow to the end the career of his ancient prototype. The man who would willingly become a partici pant in crime of any kind, may in certain cases be worthy of sympathy, but he who takes a prominent part in the commission of crime, and when punishment threatens, treacherously betrays his companions in guilt in order to secure his own safety, is too low in the scale of humanity to be worthy of an honest man's contempt. The first case tried was one on the civil list, and as its details are somewhat interest ing, we give place to them: David Deeter and others vs. Jacob Deeter, Joseph Smith, James Denniston and others, terra-tenants. It appeared that one Daniel Deeter, of North Wood berry township, died intestate in 1860, leaving, besides other property, a farm in said township which, in proceedings in partition, was appraised at the sum of six thousand dollars. This farm was taken at the appraisement by Jacob Deetor, the eldest son, one of the defendants in this suit, who enter ed into recognizance in the Orphans' Court to pay to the other heirs, his ten brothers and sisters, six of whom were the plaintiffs in this suit, their respective shares in the appraised value of the farm. In the spring of 1863 a receipt in full, purporting to be signed by six of the heirs (the present plaintiffs) wa3 filed in the office of the Clerk of the Orphans' Court, and its substance entered on the same page with the recognisance. Previous to the filing of this receipt the co-securities of Ja cob Deeter had been by a paper under seal released from liability. In August, 1863, Jacob Deeter sold the farm to Smith A Den niston for the sum of nine thousand dollars, all of which was paid to Jacob in one form or other, and none of it was received by the heirs, because the docket as before stated, led Smith A Denniston to believe the recognizance was satisfied, and that the heirs had been paid in full. In 1860, however, the six heirs whose names appeared to the receipt, institu ted an action of sci. fa. on the recognizance, alleging that they had not received any por tion of their shares of the appraised value of the property. Their claim, at the time the the suit was tried, amounted with interest, to very nearly six thousand dollars, and as Jacob Deeter had become insolvent after the sale of the farm, the effect of a judgment in their favor would have been to make Smith A Den niston pay the $6,000 twice. It was alleged that the receipt was a forgery, that the names had been, as was intimated, affixed by Jacob himself. To prove this the pffs. called the subscribing witness, Jacob Counsman, who swore that he believed his name, as it appear ed on the receipt was his signature and that the word witness immediately above it was in his handwriting, yet he had no recollection of ever signing the paper, nor did he remember of ever seeing them sign it It was proved that Jacob Deetor had boasted of his expertness with the pen, and said he conld counterfeit any one's signature that it could not be detected. Defendents showed that about the time the re ceipt bore date, plaintiffs had received from Jacob hisindividual promissory notes in about the sum respectively due them, and they alle ged that these notes could have been given for no other purpose than in consideration of the heirs signing the receipt. There was also evidence given on the part of the plaintiffs to show that Barbara Deeter, one of the sign ers, was insane. In reply to this defendants alleged that as the family had 1n the proceed ings in partition, and in the release of the co sureties, also in the bringing of the then pending suit, treated her as sane, the terre tenants, Smith A Denniston, could not be supposed to know that she was otherwise, and therefore any loss which resulted must fall on her. The Court charged the jury that if they believed the receipt a forgery they should bring in a verdict for the plaintiffs, but that if they believed it genuine, even if the signa tures had been obtained by artifice or undue influence, innocent purchasers must not Buf fer, and their verdict should be for defend ants. The jury brought in a verdict for de fendants. The case was very ably argued by Messrs. Landis A Hammon for plaintiffs, and Blair A Scott for dependents. It excited con siderable interest, both from the amount in volved and the rather startling allegations of the plaintiffs, concerning the character of the receipt. Commonwealth vs. John J. Burkholder, Ly dia Burkholder. Julia Burkholder, Love nia Burkholder, Perry G. Burkholder, Hen ry Burkholder, Thomas Burkholder, John Bishop Cousins Ware, Margaret Ware, Norval Hawk and Mary Hawk. This case was called on Thursday Morning and was not concluded until Saturday after noon. Lydia Burkholder, wife of John J. Burkholder, and mother of this unfortunate family, was confined to her bed and unable to appear for trial; her recognizance was con sequently declared to be forfeited. The Dis trict Attorney, by leave of the Court, entered a nolle pros, as to Bishop Cousins Ware and his wife Margnret Ware, the former having turned Ktnfoi f yjdeiiee, The parties OB trial therefore were John J. Burkholder, Julia Burkholder, Lovenia Burkholder, Perry 0. Burkholder,Henry Burkholder,Thomas Burk holder, (a lad 14 years old) Norral Hawk and his wife, and daughter of John J. Burkhold er, and Mary Hawk. The goods stolen were the property of the Penn'a Railroad Co., or rather were taken from]their cars, and amoun ted to upwards of three thousand dollars worth. Bishop Cousins Ware, the Judas ol the family having been called to the stand, testi fied that he, Margaret Burkholder, whom he afterwards married, and Mary Hawk went in company, after night, to the cars and with a key, procured for that purpose from Norval Hawk, opened the same, and helped them selves to the contents. Their nocturnal visits were frequent, and it was seldom they went away empty. These goods were carried to Norval Hawk's house, in Altoona, and thence conveyed to the farm of J. J. Burkholder, who resided about four miles from Altoona. Here the goods were concealed. Sometimes Henry and Thomas came up with horses and would take a load from the cars directly to the farm. This unprecedented system of stealing continued during the months of October, No vember, December, and January, 1804 and '62, and when the search was made almost every nook and corner about Burkholder' a premises were stocked with stolen goods. Every room in the house, from the cellar to the attic; the barn and the corn crib; the bee house and the out houses, all contained their share of dry-goods, groceries, boots and shoes, notions, Ac. Many of these goods were identified by the merchants who purchased them, and it was clearly proven that all were stolen from the cars of the Company. All on trial were im plicated, except Perry G. Burkholder, and the Commonwealth failed to make out a case against him. A strong defense was set up in favor of John J. Burkholder. He endeavored to show that he was absent from home the greater part of the fall and winter, and was entirely ignorantof what was going on—that the goods were brought there during his absence and not a word spoken on the subject while he was at home. The learned counsel, Messrs. Blair and Calvin, made a powerful argument in his behalf, but circumstances were so strongly against them that they failed in their attempt. The jury retired on Saturday after noon, and returned the following verdict, af ter about an hour's deliberation;" Mary Hawk, Henry Burkholder, Thomas Burkholder, Lo venia Burkholder, guilty in manner and form as they stand indicted: and John J. Burkhol der, Norval Hawk and Julia Burkholder, guilty of the second count, but not of the first count; Perry G. Burkholder, not guilty." The second count in the indictment was for con cealing stolen goods, knowine them to have been stolen. The prisoners, with the exception of Mrs. Mary Hawk, whose physical condition was snch as to prevent her presence, were brought into Court yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and each sentenced to two years confinement in the Western Penitentiary, to which institution Sheriff Bechtel informs us that he will convey them on Monday next. Much sympathy is expressed for the unfortunate convicts, and an effort will doubtless be made to have them pardoned. For the Inquirer. SCHOOL REFORM, No. 3. BAD PENMANSHIP. We are a generation of bad penmen. For merly the ability to write a beautiful hand was earnestly striven for and highly prized. Now such an accomplishment is rarely foun d. Lawyers, doctors, preachers and teachers write a hand that is remarkable only for its irregularity and ugliness, and think it quite good enough. The days of beautiful pen manship seem to have passed away. Such a thing is not expected now, and many men seem to take pride in their wretched chirog raphy. Very few pupils learn to write well in the common schools. Hardly one in twenty learns to write what may be called a good hand. 1 have not found leu in the county who can write a beautiful hand. This is de plorable, but it is a fact. The branch is gen erally neglected. Instruction in it is general ly a failure. The chief reasons for this un fortunate condition of things are in my judg ment, the following:— 1. The materials used by the pupils arc of the most wretched kind. Paper of the thin nest, roughest, ind cheapest quality; pens of the commonest and cheapest make, and ink that is not fit to write with at all; these are the materials with which the boys and girls are expected to write. The best penman could hardly write a legible hand with the same materials, and yet parents wonder and grumble that their children do not write better. 2. The copies are nearly all written by the teacher, and the teachers are nearly all unable to write a copy that is a model fit for a ahild to imitate. Hence it follows that nearly all our pupils are imitating models which even if perfectly imitated would only make bad pen men of them. We are aware that many of our toncherg will think thcecstiong aaacitlonS; but we have considered onr words and mean what we say. About thirty teachers in the county are marked 1, or within a fraction of 1 in penmanship, and these are all who can write a suitable model for a pupil to imitate. The others are helping to rear up a genera tion of indifferent penmen; and they can do nothing else while they write indifferent cop ies for their pupils to imitate. 3. The same teacher never teaches a school two terms in succession, nor do any two teach ers write alike. Hence the style of writing by one teacher is broken up and altered by the next. This goes on year after year. Pu pils have a different model to imitate every year, and consequently never form any set tled style of writing, nor learn to imitate any model well. It follows therefore that even with good materials and with teachers all able to write suitable models, we should still fail to make good penmen. No one who tries a new style of writing every year will be like ly to form a fixed and beautiful hand, howev er excellent in itself each of these styles may be. The remedy for all this is simple, cheap, and effectual. The idea that teachers should write the copies has long since been proved er roneous by the most thorough tests that experi ence can apply. They should not write the copies. On the contrary some system of penmanship should be adopted, and copy books with engraved copies should be used. The models in these are perfect, snd they are carefully graded from the simplest to the most difficult, to suit all ngos and grades of pupils, These books are made of the best of paper, and we should thus get rid of the wretched, flimsy stuff now used by a majority of the pupils in the county. It is true the books cost a trifle more than poor paper, but so little that few would grudge it. In addi tion to this let parents see that their children have the best pens and the best ink. This done, the chief causes that hare made us a generation of bad penmen will have been re moved, and a few years will improve pen manship in our common schools more than one hundred per cent. All will then copy after the same models and form much the same style of writing, and the writing of one can be as easily read as that of another. In most of our districts Ellsworth's System of Penmanship is now adopted, and arrange ments are made to use his books. It is to be hoped that directors and teachers will see to it that they are exclusively used. It is also to be hoped that parents will co-operate with directors and teachers in carrying out this much needed reform. J. W. DICKERSON, Co. Supt. - How TUB COPS GOT UP A LIST OF SOIJHBRS. —The annexed communication was received at this office several weeks ago, but mislaid. It shows clearly the desperation of our oppo nents in the late canvass. We are sorry to hear that our friend the "Squire" shouldfind it in his heart to do such dirty work: DEY RIDOE, Oct. 19, 1865. Messrs. Editors: —On the day of the election my attention was ceiled to a communication in the Bedford Gazette , in which I found my name appended to a petition in favor of the lecofoco ticket. I was astonished tiat I and other good Union men had turned Copperheads, and was anxious to know how the thing had come to pass. I had often heard that a man's shirt could be turned on his back by hocus pocus, but that the Copperheads had succeeded in "turning my coat," and so dexterously, too, was above my comprehension. -But my broth er, Jonx T. RITCHEY, explained it all Vy telling me that a pursy old 'Squire hwd'tome around one day with "a little paper,'" getting signers to "a little petition in favor of a speedy restoration of the Units*, and against a premature agitation of the question of ne gro suffrage;" and, not thinking any advan tage was to be taken, ml the request of the qentleman, he signed the petition himself, and, also, signed my name to it—aDd all without having read the aforesaid "little pa per!" That is the way ny name came to get into the Gazette , a little Copperhead paper which I took notice had been printed in Bedford. In conclusion, let me say, I voted the Re publican ticket at the last election, as usual. The 'Squire wanted my vote rejected, but failed in getting it done. He tried hard, too, to have my brother. Frederick G. Ritchey, deprived of his vote; he, too, had served faithtully, and was wounded in defence of his country, and so, of course, for these reasons, and because Frederick is a good Union man, the old 'Squire had to do all he could against him. The 'Squire and his party tried to pre vent every Union soldier they could from vo ting, but I noticed that the Copperhead deser ters, who had taken to the woods, or had run off to the west, with their little bundles, as soon as they found they were drafted, could all vote without any difficulty.
