Republican County Committee Meeting.
The Republican County Committee of Bed

Hotel, in Bedford, on Thursday, the "28th inst.
at 1 o'clock, P. M. A full attendance is earn
estly requested as business of much import
ance will be submitted for its action.

KS%.The Hollidaysburg Whig has made its
re-appearance. It is controlled by Mnj. John
Brotherline anH an associate. We wish them
abundant success, in this, their latest under
taking.
gfcjr-To enable our employees to enjoy the
festive Holiday occasion, and in accordance
with a time honored custom prevalent among
newspaper meu throughout the country, no
paper will be issued from this office next
week.
THE FESTIVAL for the benefit of the Ceme

be open on Saturday evening: also on Christ
mas day and evening. Oysters, Ice cream,
Fancy work and Christmas presents of all
kinds we believe are to be on bauds- Christ

every body.
A. L. Defibaugh and E. M. Fisher
have entered into partnership in the Diy
Goods business. They request us to -ay
that they have just returned from Philadel
phia and New York with a large stock of L)ry
Goods. Groceries, Boots and Shoes. Ac.
which they will sell cheap tor cash. Give
them a call at Defibaugh's old stand.
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 :

CHRISTMAS.— A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year to all our readers! 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.
