ESPECIAL TO LADIES. —Now that the. holli
days are close at hand, people are looking
around for suitable presents for their friends,
and there seems to be a general anxiety with
the public to secure a "Photopraph Family
Record." The agent finds it difficult to sup
ply everybody.
6*#° We would remind our readers in the
Northeastern portion of the county that a
railroad meeting will be held at Hopewell on
the twelfth of December to consider the pro
priety of building a road from Hopewell to
Pattoasville, or if not a railroad a turnpike.
The Juniata and Mineral Spring Base Ball
Clubs of our town, have engaged to play a
match game on Thanksgiving day —the losing
club to provide an oyster supper for both
clubs. We understand that each club will be
dressed during the contest in its regular uni
form. The game is to be played on the
grounds of the Mineral Spring Club, and to
commence at ten o'clock A. M.
BARN BURNED — HEAVY LOSS. —The barn of
Adam Diehl, C'harlesville, Colerain township,
this county, was entirely consumed by fire on
last Sunday morning together with three hor
ses, one cow, about 500 bushels of corn, 200
bushels of wheat; and rye, oats and hay in
about the same proportion. The fire was
discovered about three or four o'clock
in the morning. It is supposed that a horse
was stolen and that the thief, to cover up his
tracks, set the barn on fire. The loss cannot
be less than 82,000.
THE CEMETERY FAIR. —The meeting on
Monday evening at the Court House for the
purpose of making arrangements for the fair
was well attended. The enterprise is in the
hands of energetic parties and cannot fail to
succeed. The managers meet every Friday
afternoon at 3 o'clock to receive contributions
of articles donated to the fair. The articles
already received make a fine display. Let all
who feel an interest in the enterprise contri
bute what they have the time and means to
provide. The fair will be opened the Friday
evening before Christinas and continue over
Christmas.
PIANOS, ORGANS, AC. —We call especial at
tention to the advertisement in to-day's paper
of 15. M. Green's Music Store, Huntingdon,
I'enu'a. Persons desiring any thing in his
line can purchase it at the same price from
him that it will be furnished by the manufac
turers in New York. We subjoin a copy of
the certificate authorizing him to act as agent
for Mason Brothers:
HUNTINGDON, Pa.. Nov. 2,">, '6- R >. —This is
to certify that we have appointed B. M.Greene
-ole agent for the sale of our Cabinet Organs,
for the following counties, viz: Huntingdon,
Blair, Centre, Bedford, Clearfield and .Juni
ata, and he has the exclusive right for the
sale of the above named instruments in the
aforesaid counties. MASON BROTHERS,
per ,1. W. Currier, (Icn. Ag't.
NEWSPAPER TAX EXTRAORDINARY. —The
several proprietors ot Printing Establish
ments in this place have been ca led upon by
Heputy Assessor, Thomas Hughes, during the
week and informed that by a decision of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, under
•late of the "ith of November, he has
decided that Printing Establishments are lia
ble to a tax of six j,er cent, on the gross
amount of charges for work done and materi
als furnished, which would make the tax on
this office over three hundred dollars , at the
same time our gross expenses arc almost
equal to our gross charges. Never in the
history of taxation was there such an outrige.
In the first place we are compelled to pay a
manufacturers license, then a tax of, we don't
know what, because we have never had any—
on incomes over six hundred dollars, then
an enormous lax on paper, running it up to
and 28 cents a pound for the same article
which wc purchased before the war at 8 and
'0 cents, and now, lastly and overwhelmingly
comes this tax on gross charges, which is
nothing less nor more than a death blow at
intelligence. We confidently hope that Mr.
Hughes is mistaken in his instructions, and
that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
never made such a decision, but if he has, we
pray Congress to explain its action imraedi
a'"!r. Congress never intended that printing
should be crushed out in this way, because it
expressly excepted printers, but according to
'he late understanding of the Commissioner's
manic-lions that individual thinks quite differ
' Hy. This decision would compel us to pay
M ' tun on alt good and bad charges, on an
' "'amissions to agents, work and materials,
fact everything that goes into or comes out
1 pyiuting office, whether bought or sold,
ho would be a publisher 'I
HORRIBLE MURDER OF LIEUT. HENRY BAKER.
—Many of our citizens will be shocked to
learn that Lieut. Henry Baker, torraerly of
this place, was horribly murdered, within the
last three weeks, some where in South Caroli
-11 a. Y\ e have only partial particulars. Lieut.
Baker visited South Carolina with the inten
tion of locating, he became a mail contractor
and while passing over some point of his
route in a coach, seated by the side of his dri
ver, the coach was attacked by ahighwayman,
who demanded the valuables of the passen
gers, threatening death if his demands were
not complied with; on the refusal of Lieut.
Baker, the fiend fired upon them, the hall pas
sing through the driver and killing him in
stantly and lodging in Lieut. Baker, giving him
a mortal wound. The Lieutenant endeavor
ed to run the eoach off, but a shot brought
down one of his .horses, while another wound
edone of the passengers. Baker was carried to
I a house some distance off where he lingered
| between four and five days. This intelligence
! comes to his family through a lady who at
tended him in his last moments. Lieut. Ba
ker was well known in this place and many
sad hearts will be occasioned by the terrible
report. At the breaking out of the war,
young Baker was in Pittsburgh, he enlisted at
once, was wounded several times, and the fi
nal winding up of the slaveholder's rebellion
found him at his post ready to do or die for
his country. How sad the thomrht that so
noble a patriot should escape the many perils
of war to meet death at the hands of a mer
cenary wretch, whose only object was to plun
der for his own individual gratification. We
dearn that a brother started for the body ear
ly this week. He will be brought to Wood
berry, %iis county, for a final resting place.
WE see by an article which we here quote
from the Harrisburg Telegraph of Monday
last, that the Rev. A. J. Barrow, late rector
of the Episcopal church of that place, has
accepted a call to the church of St. James,
Bedford.
Mr. Barrow bears the reputation of a most
excellent christian gentleman and we cordial
ly welcome him to our midst.
"Rev. A. J. Barrow having accepted a call
to Bedford and Huntingdon, has resigned the
charge of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Ridge
Road, and preached his farewell sermon last
(Sunday) evening. The Rev. J. Hobart Mil
let, of Mont Alto, will be Mr. Barrow's suc
cessor at St. Paul's. Mr. Barrow has been a
faithful pastor, and during his sojourn here
made many friends who will regret to hear of
his departure."
We were requested to announce that Mr.
Barrow would commence the regular services
of the Episcopal Church, on Sunday afternoon
last,but the notice was mislaid or overlooked,
and consequently did not appear in our last
weeks issue. The service was held according
to Appointment on Sabbath afternoon in the
Lutheran Church and was well attended.
At the request of some who-were present
and are interested in the movement we give
the following concluding remarks of the Rev.
gentleman's sermon:
'•'ln conclusion allow me to say, dear friends,
that it is with feelings of peculiar solemnity
L stand before you this afternoon to take my
place as one of the pastors of your town. If
1 came as the successor of one who had occu
pied the field before me, I should be at least
relieved of the novelty of my position, but )
come as the pioneer of a new- enterprise, that
is to say, new to this community. lam here
at the call of a few individuals whose attach
ment to the Episcopal Church and its servi
ces have made them solicitous for their per
manent establishment in your midst as well
as for the gratification and convenience of a
large proportion of those who come annually
to the Springs. It may be that rnanv will be
attracted to worship with us aud to aid us in
erecting a temple to God's glory, and which
shall be an ornament to the town, but we trust
none will allow prejudice or animosity to speak
evil of us or to regard the movement as an
uncalled for innovation upon pre-established
institutions. If we were fanatics or enthusi
asts endeavoring to fouud some new sect, to
enforce strange doctrine or to persuade men
to believe a lie,then we should deserve all the
reproach and contempt that might be heaped
upon us, but we are open to no such charge.
The Episcopal Church has a history of which
its members may well feel proud. We can
trace its order and discipline back to Apos
tolic days, the nursing mother of primitive,
worship and pure Christianity and of the re
formation which gave to us our protestant
liberty. Not that we forget the noble labors
of Martin Luther. Calvin, Melanetlion and
other great reformers, but while we think
some went too tar in the work of reform and
like the Puritans, wandered to an opposite
extreme, we retained our beautiful liturgy and
common prayer book, our Episcopal ordina
tion and scriptural ministry of Bishops,
Priests and Deacons, and in order to give
becoming solemnity to public worship the
simple and appropriate vestment of the white
surpljce which we now wear. Our sacraments
ar4hose which are acknowledged and prac
"tisejjf by every protestant society, viz: Holy
Baptism and the Lord's Supper; and with re
gard; to doctrine and liberty of opinion the
sth article of our church declares thai, "Ho
ly Scripture containeth all things necessary to
salvation; so that whatsoever is not read
thereifr nor may be proved thereby of any
man that it should be believed as an article of
the faith, or be thought requisite or necessary
to salvation."
Thus we sec our Church is no novelty, but a
thing of history; noithera relicof superstition
but the clear and enlightened product of
Scriptural Truth. In its lawsand ordinances
it simply adheres to to the apostolic injunct
ion "I)o all things decently and in order'':
and is alike opposed to what is formal and
supcrtsitious, as it is to that which is radical
and licentious, without order and without
reason. It has numbered among its members
some of the wisest and best of inen that have
trodden our earth. It has had its army of
martyrs, and can point to acloud of witnesses
or the truth as it is.in Jesus. Kings and Prin
ces, Rich and Poor for ninny ages have all
alike together united in its beautiful respon
ses and chanted its hymns of praise. Upon
its long scroll of members we trace Poets,
Statesmen and Philosophers, which include
the names of -Benjamin Franklin and George
Washington : and many a bright saint from a
mong all classes and conditionswhohave been
nurtured in its communion have gone from
earth to possess an immortal crown. Such
is our record; "Rut God forbid that I should
glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ." God forbid that 1 should be proud
of my church unless it points rae to the cross,
makes that its Alpha and Omega, tells me
that I am a sinner and bids me look to it and
live- To make that my theme whilst I shall
be permitted, friends, to remain with you, will
be my highest ambition; and as ! have done
this afternoon, may that master who has com
missioned me to preach his Gospel, ever in
fluence me to take delight in telling of a Sa
viour's love, and inviting all to come to Him
fcr rest. May God bless us, and so order our
goings that His name may be glorified, His
church enlarged, and true religion and piety
be established among us for all generations,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A TALK ABorr OUTLINE MAPS.
I he Directors bought one hundred and .for
ty three sets, last winter, at a cost of about
two thousand five hnndred dollars. War
times are full of anxiety and uncertainty, and
such a large outlay was hardly to be expected
at such a time. But it was a step in the right
direction, and a first step. Before this we
had few maps and little apparatus of any
kind. Modern appliance for impoiting
knowledge were almost unknown amongst us.
Some schoofs were even without blackboards
others had them, but never used them. We
remember three or four of the latter sort.
There hangs the blackboards just where they
have been for two years, as bright"and new as
the day they were made, uncratched by cray
on and unsullied by chalk-dust. We need not
say the teachers of these schools were the
worst kind of -dunces.
But to come back to the maps. Wc think
their purchase "turns over a new leaf." The
maps are bought. This ia a living fact, worth
all the prospects and promises in theuniverse.
It proves somethiug. It proves that directors
are in favor of reform; that, therefore, other
apparatus will be likely to follow as soon as
we feel ourselves rich enough, and that the
schools and their claims were not forgotten
even amid the great peril of the nation.
\Y herever the maps were properly used,
more Geography was learned, last winter,
than ia the whole of the five years preceding.
A short exercise was given once or twice a
day, and the whole school joined in it. In
some schools nearly all the pupils, big and
little, were soon able to point out and name
most of the countries, islands, capes, seas,
gulfs, bays, rivers, &c., of the whole world.
Every body noticed this progress, the grum
bling, which is sure to come when directors
spend money in any unusual way, gradually
ceased. The tempest in a teapot subsided.
Close fisted tax payers who, at first,could not
see the use of spending so much money, be
gan to think the maps a good thing to have
after all: and some were so unkind as to won
der how those stupid directors happened to
think of doing anything so useful. The maps
became popular, and nearly all agreed that
the directors had acted wisely and well. Such
were the result where the maps were proper
ly used.
But they were not properly used every where.
About eighty sets were put into the schools.
The rest came late in the term, and it was
not thought worthwhile to put them up. A
bout thirty teachers made good use of them
and about fifty did not. Of course where the
maps were not used the grumbling became
ouder ; the tempest in the teapot grew fiercer.
"The maps were useless." "The money was
thrown away." Pew took the trouble to re
flect that no one was to blame except the
teacher. We blush as we write it down,
fifty teachers who did not use their outline
maps. Their "pupils didn't seem to take any
interest," or they"hadu't time,"orthey "did
n't know how," or other excuses equally tri
fling, were given. Pupils always take a deep
interest if the exercise is well conducted.
The teacher should take time. Ten minutes
a day can not be better spent. If he does not
know how he should learn how. Ability to
teach Geography from outline maps is no spe
cial gift born with the few and denied to the
many. Any one can acquire it. There are
the maps and the key to them. Nothing more
is needed. If the teacher is iudustrious and
has common sense he can learn to teach them,
in a week, as well as anybody. Shall it be
said that directors buy apparatus; but that
teachers will not use it and shall directors be
censured for the best thing they ever did, be
cause teachers neglect their duty? We shall
see what we shall see.
