The different members composing the Republican County Committee will, we hope, consider it obligatory upon them to atteud the meeting advertised for the 28th inst. (Thursday next). A full attendance is very much desired. It will afford the individual members an opportunity to take a holiday trip, and we are satisfied that they and their party will be mutually benefitted thereby. Let the friends of the cause urge an attend ance from every district in the county. (6-it" Mtiny of our subscribers have suppos ed that we would IMJ compelled to raise the subscription price of the Ixqi'IREIT under the present pressure of prices and taxation. V\ e are happy to inform them, however, that we have raised our prices as high as we intend to raise them. And while upon the subject we will remark that we have not raised the advance subscription price of the I.VQUIBER a single farthing during the rage of the late high prices which so terribly affected news paper men. For thirty years, we suppose, the IxquißKß was published at $2 per annum in advance. Within the last ten years the size was reduced, and with the reduction of the size, the price was cut down to $1.50 in advance. We have simply increased the size to one-third more reading matter than it ever contained"-at any time previous, and have gone back to the original price—$2 per an num in advance. TURNPIKE MEETING. —The Turnpike pro ject from Hopewell to Pattonsviile, is fully under way,us will be learned from the annex ed proceedings of an interesting meeting held at Hopewell.on the 12th inst., and which was advertised in this paper. It is certainly grat ifying to know that, the spirit of public im provement has not "abated with the collapse f the rebellion. No improvement is in great er demand than the improvement contempla ted in this connection. This will give Morri son's Cove an outlet and a market in our own county and at half the expense and dis tance of any other outlet. We wish the en terprising parties a speedy realization of their ardent and practical hopes. We append the proceedings of the meeting : A respectable meeting of the friends of a ! urnpike from Hopewell to Pattonsviile, met ;it the house of Harry Drollinger,in Hopewell, °n luesday the 12th inst., and organized by '-•ailing George Wishart to the chair and ap pointing p.

We hope that all the folks, little folks, big folks, old folks and new folks, will enter into the spirit of the occasion, with such a fund of hu mor and liberality that a carnival will reign throughout the land from Christmas Eve until the New \ear has ushered itself in with a bright token of future prosperity. Let alien joy the occasion, blessed as it will be with all the luxuries of the land, and seasoned by peace and harmony. But in the midst of your enjoyment and pleasure, we beg of you not to forget the poor, the destitute little orphans made so by a father's patriotism. I)o not kind mother and dear father we pray you, while with pride regarding the happiness of your own sweet cherubs, forget these little ones and their widowed motherwhichasadfortune has bereft of the kind provider, who once with the same manliness and pride, perhaps, regarded his own dear household, as you do now, but in an hour when patriotism called, he bade them a sad, sweet farewell, and went —to return no more. And there are others, not made destitute by the ravages of war, that need your charity, give it to them, we pray you, and remember that they that give to the poor only leud to Him whom we all would serve. Let every body, rich and poor, old and young, married and unmarried, enjoy the rich holiday occasion. RECORD OF THE FEDERAL DEAD. —A record of the Federal dead buried from Libbv, Belle Isle. Danville and Camp Lawton prisons and at City Point, and in the field before Peters burg and Richmond has been published by the U. S. Christian Commission to save the friends of the deceased at home, the weary task among the dead for their loved and lost ones. The only objection to the pamphlet, that we experienced in looking over it, is the promiscuous distribution of names, instead of being carefully arranged in alphabetical order. Four parents out of five would be as likely to find the lost one among the lamented dead in the field or the camp as in this confused mass of names. It can nev er be a book for ready reference. We have been requested to say that it can be had, free of charge, by applying by letter or otherwise, to the headquarters of the Christian Commis sion. Philadelphia. SOLDIER'S UNION.—The soldiers of this Borough have organized a soldier's union under the jurisdiction of the soldier's union of Pennsylvania. We quote from their man uel the objects which they have in view : "Whereas, many ot the devoted sons of our country, feeling a deep interest in the tlag of our Union, and the integrity of the Govern ment, left their homes and friends in the hour of their country's sorest trial,to battle for the cause of right and the overthrow of armed re bellion. have, under the protection and guid ance of an All-wise providence, returned in safety to their homes. AND WHEREAS, Feeling a deeper interest in the welfare, success and future happiness of their comrades on the battle-field than ever before animated the bosoms of men, by rea son of that sympathy which must naturally exist in the heart of every true soldier; and desiring a method by which sentiments, feel ings, aid and comfort, as well as pleasures and enjoyments may be freely interchanged, they do hereby associate themselves into a society for the object of procuring employ ment for, and supporting each other in. all honorable means of earning a livelihood —for the purpose of assisting the worthy needy amongst their number, and so far as in their power aiding and protecting thtir widows and orphans: and in this act of association they do severally pledge themselves to be governed by the Constitution and By-Laws hereto ap pended." The object is, certainly, to be highly com mended and every soldier ought to become a member of such a Union at once. We quote from thir Constitution in regard to political and sectarian discussions as follows : ''No sectarian or political discussions, or political dispute, shall at any time be allowed in the Soldier's Union of Pennsylvania, and any member introducing them shall be subject to a penalty." GREAT RAILROAD PROJECTS. —Within the last few weeks the monied men of the coun try have been greatly agitated by the develop ment of great Railway projects which are to traverse Pennsylvania from one end to the other, or at least to pass through a portion of her borders. The principal of these is the Atlantic and Great Western, which is to trav erse the heart of Pennsylvania and pour the wealth of the great west, through this direct route, into the lap of New York, while our own great cities of Philadelphia and Pitts burg are to be reached by branches. Anoth er project is to build a great through line of road from Washington to Point of Rocks, trom thence by Baltimore and Ohio Road to Cumberland, and from thence via Connells ville road to Pittsburg. Both these routes are to antagonize the Pennsylvania Central. It is obvious to us that a combination has been formed by the Atlantic and Great Western and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads for this purpose. In a very short time the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania will convene, and our word for it, it will be a regular "pull Dick pull Devil" between these parties. It is need less lor us to say [that in a contest of this kind, iuten'led as it is, to antagonize a great inter nal improvement which has developed the resorces of the state to a greater extent than any other improvement in existence, that it i 3 the duty of Pennsylvanians to maintain that improvement which is purely Pennsylvanian. We are no apoloeist of the Central Com pany, but we cannot see our cities become the mere tributaries of New York, reached by a mere switch or side track, if you please; no, we have too much Pennsylvania pride for that , nor can we think of the great resources of Pennsylvania, developed by our own capi tal, become the prey of those who are opposed to Pennsylvania's advancement. Philadel phia and Pittsburg should resist, with all the vigor of youth, this secondary pi rt which they are asked to playin this projected scheme particularly the Atlantic and Great Western project, which is controlled entirely by for eign capital. We hope that the Legislature, early in its session will give the quietns to these anti-Pennsylvania movements. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. —As Christmas is drawing near we here the question asked. What shall I get as a preseut for my daugh ter, sister, wife or friend ? as the case may be. We would suggest to our readers that they, in purchasing presents, select something that will be. not only beautiful, but also a perpet ual source of enjoyment, and,can think of nothing so good as a Piano or Cabinet Organ, as music makes a home attractive to all. The only Agent for Mason & Hamlin's Cabinet Organs and Steiuway A Son's Piauos in this county is 11. M. GREENE, Huntingdon, Pa., who keeps a full supply of Organs and Pian os on hand coestautly. Send your orders to hira soon, as the demand for those instru ments is very great. EPISCOPAL SERVICE ON CHRISTMAS AV. — There will be a full service at the Lutheran church on Christmas morning at ten o'clock and a sermon preached by Kev. Barrow ap propriate to this festive season. There will also he service on Sunday afternoon at a quar ter past three. School Reform, No. 6. TEACHERS' MOXTHLT REPORT BOOKS. During the past three years, we have ex amined more than three thousand teachers' Monthly reports, and we are forced to say that they have been, as a general thing, very carelessly prepared. Hardly one in a hundred is perfectly correct: and more than half eon tain errors that prove either ignorance or carelessness of the grossest character. If they have been no better throughout the state the volume of statistics annually published by the School Department, is so far as it is tak en from them, the merest stuff, not worth the paper it is printed on. We need reform in this matter. The teacher who neglects, or is unable, to make correct monthly reports, is unfit for his position and ought to be dis charged at once. The report books that have been in use during the past five years, are a disgrace to the profession of teaching. We are ashamed to say how many of our teachers have left in them the monunicntsof their own carlessness or stupidity. The county is this year supplied with new monthly report books. Districts that are not yet supplied should send to us for them at once. The intention is to begiu with them everywhere this winter ; and .reports must not be made in the old books. Let the reports in them be strictly- correct. Secretaries should not give the teacher his order until they are correct. If secreta ries would take this course there would be an eud to all trouble in the matter. We make the following suggestions in the hope that tliey may prevent, in the future, some of the errors that have occurred most frequently in the past: 1. The report book should he kept in the school room. Visitors wish to see it. They have a right to see it. The book is intended to be kept in the school so that they eau see it. Teachers who keep it out of sight, fre quently do so because they fear it will not bear inspection. If the school-room is not a safe place to leave it over night, it can be carried home evenings. 2. It should be used as a daily roll, and tardiness, absence. Ac., should be marked in it when the roll is called. We know the directions, iu the book, advise differently; but we can see no good reason for this advice, and, therefore, take a different view. If the roll is kept on a sheet of paperand afterwards copied into the book, the liability to error is doubled. It occurs once when the roll is call ed and again when it is copied. This is au important consideration, because this liability is considerable even when the greatest care is exercised. The labor is also doubled. The old books were nearly all used as rolls, and yet they lasted five years and ninety nine hundredths of them would have lasted five years longer. What is to hinder the new books from lasting as well? 3. The roll should be called twice a day, once exactly at the time to begin in the mor ning, and again exactly at the time to begin in the afternoon. Those who do not answer should be marked tardy. Some teachers neg lect this and thus fall into a very grave error. Tardiness is a great evil, and it can never be corrected unless a record of it is kept. The roll should be examined again, before school is dismissed, and those who have not come in should be marked absent for the half day. Teachers shouljJ keep their daily record as described above. They can do it correctly in no other way. 4. The proper names of pupils should be written in full, Silly nicknames like "Eddie." "Mollie, &c., should not be substituted for honest and beatiful names like Edward, Mary, Ac. The sickly sentimentality that at pres ent pervades all classes of the community in regaid to this matter will pass away in a few years like other epidemics, and plain people looking over these reports, will wonder who could have owned those excessively tender and affectionately refined cognomens. 5. No. of different pupils belonging to school since 2st of June, till date," means only those who attended school, and not all the pupils in the neighborhood, whether they attended or not, as some have supposed. In this county we had no school after June Ist until the present winter term begin. Have the above item and the next, '"whole no. in attendence during mo." will always be the same for the first month of the term. After wards they may differ widely, and care should be taken that they be correctly entered. fi. To find "per cent of attendence during no." annex twogiphersto the average of boys and divide by the whole number of boys ; an nex two ciphers to the average of girls and divide by the whole number of girls: and an nex two ciphers to the total average and di vide by the total number. To get "per cent of all during term till date," add together the average of boys for all the months; add together the average of girls for all the months, add together the total aver age for all the months. Then add together the whole number of boys for all the months; add together the whole number of girls for all the months; add together the totals for all the months. Then annex two ciphers to each of those three sums of averages and divide by the corresponding sum of totals. 7. The number and kind of books should be noted in full. Itis not enough to sny Mc- Gufiiy's 3 1. The number of each kind should be given. The same should be done with all books. S. Every blank should be filled in every report. 9. Opposite the words "spelling," "read ing," Ac., in the proper column should be entered the number of classes in each of these branches. J. M . DICKERSON, Co., Sup't. BEDFORD MARKET.
