If we un derstand the matter properly, we are under the impression that the present School Board menus well, though it may be mistaken in regard to the extent of its powers. Ipd" A number of persons called upon us during last week and the beginning of this, and paid up the old score, or a year in ad vance, all such will please accept our thanks. We would have been pleased to have seen many more familiar faces who owe us a trifle which we stand very much in need of, but we hope they will be to see us ere long.

BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY. —The old Hopewell bridge, at Hopewell, this county, was swept away on last Thursday or Friday night by the gorging of a large quantity of ice on the Fur nace dam, which swept everything in its way. The piers of the bridge gave way below it. leaving a wide gap which will have to be re placed before Hopewell can resume commu nication with Woodcock Valley. It is said that it will cost 8 'IOO to replace the bridge in a substantial and safe coudition. EriP Here is something worth studying. If any of our readers can solve it, and feel the point, they are at perfect liberty to do- so. A PUZZLE.

A SAD ACCIDBNT—JOHN HARRISON TYITKK I DROWNED.—"L" writes us, under date of Hopewell, Feb. 18, 1867, the particulars of i this sad event: —"i feel it my sad duty to j acquaint you of the deep gloom that has fal j len upon our community, by the sudden death j by drowning, of Mr. Harry Typper, of this place, and formerly of Martinsburg, Blair county, between three and four, this after- j noon. The circumstances connected with this melancholy event are as follows The great "ice freshet," that occurred on las* Friday morning, carried away two spans of the county bridge here, which entirely cuts off communication between us and Yellow Creek settlement. The citizens of Hopewell in connection with our Yellow Creek friends, immediately got to work to construct a tem porary ferry, for our mutual benefit and ac commodation. Mr. Typper with his usual zeal and energy, which was characteristic of the man, when he could be the means of furthering the interest and convenience of others, applied himself to the accomplishment of this object. A wire rope was procured that was stretch ed from the remaining span of the brioge to the opposite shore, and by this means the boat was to be taken back and forth —the ear rent being too swift for any other mode. The ropes were adjusted, and three persons beside himself got into the boat to try the experi ment of taking the boat to the opposite shore. When about one-third way across, the pulley to which the rope was attached, refused to work, and it was found necessary to get the boat back to the place of starting : in doing this, however, the rope, by some means got loose from the boat, and Mr. Typper with two others, was thrown into the water—the two succeeded in getting into the boat again, but he held on to the rope that had got loose from the boat and that was attached to the wire rope. He was not able to swim and the boat in the meantime was being carried down stream by the current. It was still hoped by those watching the exciting scene, that the men in the bout would reach him before he would be forced by the rushing water to let go. But notwithstanding their inantul ex crtions to rescue hitn from from his perilous situation, they were too late, his hold was loosed, audhesank to rise no more, and what adds still more to the sadness of his friends, his body np to this time, has not been rescued. He was about thirty years old, and has been in the employ of Dowry, Eicbelberger A Co., since the winter of 1831, and his servi ces,andhis devoted attention to their interest, was highly appreciated by them. Harry, as he was familiarly called, had en deared himself to every man, woman and child in the community, by his genial dispo sition, kindness of he.'.rt, and in short all the noble qualities that constitute one of "na ture's noblemen." and we all feel as if we had lo3t a brother, l'o say we regret his sudden death, but feebly expresses the deep sadness, which seems to have settled on all. lie leaves an aged christian mother, wife and child to mourn his untimely end. He was a model sou, husband and citizen. "To know him was to love him, To name him but, to praise."

AN incendiary fired the barn of Jacob Kun kle, of Burrell township, Westmoreland county, which was consumed with all its con tents, consisting of hay, oats, two threshing machines, a feed mill, farming untensiis, four head of horses, two cow- and a wagon. FIRE — The dwelling house of Mr. John Saunders, on the line of the Ebensburg A Cresson Railroad, in Munstertownship. Cam bria co., was burned to the ground, together with its contents, on Thursday last. The flames are supposed to have been communi cated to the building from a defective flue. .No insurance. ON Monday evening, near the railroad de pot, Hollidaysbnrg. Captain J. W. Dougher ty, late of the 48th Pennsylvania volunteers, was severely injured by two cuts in the bow els immediately above the abdomen. The Captain's wounds it is thought, will prove fatal. An Irishman named Malhew Fern is in custody, charged with the stabbing. BARN BURNED. — The barn belonging to Mr. Henry Aughey, in Licking Creek Valley, Ju niata county, was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday morning last, with all its contents. It contained twenty-two head of cattle, near ly all last year's crop, and about twenty tons of bay. Insurance only four hundred dol lars. A little boy living with Mr. Aughey was in the habit of carrying matches, and it is supposed that he was playing with them in the barn, and thus kindled * fire that he was unable to extinguish. ATTEMPT OKA MOTH EH TO DIUIWN HKIISEI.K AND TWO CHILDREN. — The Johnstown Demo crat has an account of a singular affair where a woman named Mary Bath, residing in that vicinity, attempted to drown herself and two children. On Saturday, last, after preparing breakfast, and while her husband was eating. Mrs. Bath went to the sleeping apartment, and taking two of her youngest children, aged two years, and six months, respectively, out of bed anil wrapping her dress around them, she went to the well and either jumped or crawled in. She was soon missed and assist ance called, and after considerable labor tbey were all rescued, but in a drowning condition. The mother and the eldest cbiid were resto red to animation, but the babe is in a critical condition. No cause is assigned to justify this rash act. THK TWKNTY-SEI OSD OK FEBRL'AKY. —We celel 'aie this dny. the one hundred aud thir ty-second anniversary of the birth of the Fa ther of his Country. It is 'o be regretted that no public demonstration is made to com memorate this day. Formerly it was ushered in by the ihtging of bells and firing of cannon. Military companies paraded Ihe streets, balls were given in the evening and everything betokened the sincere veneration in which the name of the Father of his Country was held. But the day now goes by as unheeded us any other ordinary period of twenty-four hours in the Calendar. A literary friend who is a reverent and enthusiastic admirer of Washington has sent us for publication the following tribute to his memory -. WASHINGTON.

The Destinies of Washinyton Were now complete.
