Well, perhaps i A severe cathquako occurred in Venezuela, South America, on tho 17th ult. Many humes were destroyed and coffee plantatirns injured. Manv lives wcro also lost.

IViinylvaiil.i In llitsiln, We print an abstract of Gov. Curtln's let- turo on Ituwlnon our first page. It Is well worthy of perusal. It will bo observed that fio fact i stated that the Ponnsylvanla-c'.ioul system is practically adopted in Uula. In reference thereto wo hnvo an liicuknt to re late that Is Illustrative of tho care with which examination Into detail of all tho practices of other countries characterise the llinslun government. While tho writer was quietly seated about 1SG0 In the Executive department ut llarrisburg, whero ho then held olliclal position, his room was entered by Dr. lhtrrowos(thoHui crlntendentof Com mon Schools) and n stranger who was Intro duced as an nltucho of tho llussiati diplo matic Legation at Washington. Their bu siness was stated to bo to inquire tho reason lor tho adoption of certa n provisions of our school law. After a Tew preliminary words, tho writer was surprised by tho Itttsslun drawing from ills pocket a pamphlet copy of our school law and going through it section by section, and frequently sentence by sen tence, Inquiring tho reasons for their adop tion, and noting all the answers on tho mar gin in short hand. Tho explanation given was that it was designed to educate tho chil dren of tho serfs of Kussiu and that the Pennsylvania school system had attracted tho attention of tho government of that country . . .i, f i as tlio best in ino worm lor mo purpura mm that it would probably be adopted, o had often heard vaguely that it had been adopt ed, but now wo have tho information direct and po-itivo from Gov. Curtin that stlcli Is tho fact. Pennsylvania justly stands at tlie head of American States for educational fa cilities atl'orded her sons and daughters, but her own people will be the last to appreciate the fact. Had they tho yankeo propensity of egotism and for telf-gtoiilication it would be otherwise. Next (Iineriior. Wo print an article in another column, by request, written by adistinguished Democrat of this State, in advocacy ol the nomination cx-Gov. liigler as the Democratic candi date for Governor at tho ensuing election Tho omission of the Kcpublican convention (whether by design or indillerenco need not now be inquired into) to make any mention of tho Centennial celebration of 1870, seems to havo buggested the idea of nominating tho head and front of tho arrangements for the celebration of tho great event as tho Governor of the State in which it is to take place. It would certainly bo appropriate and greatly in aid of the success ot the cele bration. The facts mentioned, too, would loubt rrivc a irreat many votes to tho Sincy and Parks, tho striker ringleaders. were indicted by the Clearfield grand jury for conspiracy and riot, because of their at temots to Drcvent men from working. At their own request tho trial was adjourned to next term of court. They" gave bail to the amount of fo.OOO each. The citizens of Lock Haven contributed one thousand three hundred dollars for the people of Osceola, Clearfield county, whose town was recently almost entirely destroyed by fire. Tlio people ot Lick Haven havo always been distinguished for liberality and crcnernsitv. and thov are still foremost in such works. Every Radical State convention that re solved against the third term indulged in such terms of eulogy of Gen, Grant s admin istration that his re-election must be take: to be their earnest desire. Grant will looli upon theso resolutions asdemanding his can didacv for a third term, and that is what they all mean. Several leading 'ew York importing firms havf, been indicted for smuggling immense quantities of goods. From Canada alouo is estimated that fifteen millions of dolh worth of good nro annually smuggled into this country. All this is a natural effect of unreasonably high tariffs, which, liko all nimressivo laws, are of advantairo only to rascals. Kt-Gov. Curtin is suggested as a candidate for Ktfitn Senator in tho Centre. Clinton and Clearfield district, to fill the unexpired term nf Senator Wallace. P. -Gray Meek, of Centre, and S. R. Pealo and A. J. Quigle Esqrs,, of Clinton, all men of ability, are al-o suggested. Tho irreat railroad war lias been settled, upon terms that are kept secret for tho pres ent. One thing is sure, tho pcoplo will be taxed to all possiblo extent, for rivl plun derers do not come to agreement except for inutuaad vantage. Tho Ilaltimore ami Ohio will carry off tho lion's share of gain. Slate Treasurer. Col. Frederick E, Emblek, at present Sec retary of tho L'lnibepn.iu's Etohango, and nite nf the m ist cMi'lcnt business men In Wllllnmspnrt, Is prominently brought for ward for the Deiii'iiTttlc nomination for State Treasurer. Col. Enblek sBrved with distinc tion ns a soldier, ran', s first class as a business man, Is a gentleman of unimpeachable per sonal character, and a I) mncr.it of (Inn pur pose and sincere ootivlotlou. Ills selection is Its candidate would ha creditable to tho Democracy, and would bo responded to by, :i largo vote outside of the party in tho West Urauch valley. His proverbial energy and Integrity of character would bo an ample guaranty of his elllelouey as an officer. Objection has been raised to bankers as candidates for tlio Trcnsurership, as the nat ural bent of their minds would bo to make use of any .surplus on hand for loaning pur poses, and especially to bankers who havo been dabbling in the State funds during the corrupt administrations of lvcmblo and Maekey. There Is force in tho objections the latter being absolutely fatal. Col. Em blck Is free from any such ontinglotuenl', or any possible form of objection. Ho is young, vigorous, of high and neiiorom im pulses and possessos the roqnlite uervo for any purpose, and would be R lies candidate and officer. While we do not in ottr columns give spe cial preference to candidate for positions on tho State ticket, wo deem it proper to notice all who are proininonlly suggested, and in such terms as they deserve. Wo speak ad visedly of Col. Embick, from intimate rela tions while tho writer wasengaged in the newspaper Ims'iucss in Williamsporr. SuperiUciulriitol' l'nldic Instruction. Gov. llartr.tnl't lr.u appointed Hon. J. P. Wickersliam to tho new office of Superinten dent of Pttblin Instruction, which takes the placoof Superintendent of Common Schools, Soldiers' Orphans Schools, &e. As the ap pointment requires confirmation by tho Sen ate, the present e imin'mion will expire upon tho assemblage of tho Lejialaturo, when an appointment for lour years will bo made. As tlio appointment was not made before the adjournment luisiuoic as tuom-ii uuv. mm ran ft anticipated defeat and by making an appointment within a few d i.vs of tho close of his term desired to run tlio commission of his Superintendent through tho entire term of his successor in ollico, which will bo for throe years only, This feituro of Super'm tendent's terms is all wrong. The Governor should Iiimtelfbe. directly responsible for the management of t'.ie School Department, and this he can not b; itnluss ho appoints tlio Superintendent himself. The appointment of Mr. Wickersliam is a highly proper one, in all respects, but if ho is to be continued throinrh a Democratic administration lie ought to bo appointed by it. Mr. Wickersliam b peculiarly qualified for the position. A teacher of great experience nnd success from the commonest of schools up, for years at tlio head of an Academy, then in the County Superintendeucy for a term in tho largo county of Lancaster, then thePi-iucip.il who built up and made success fill the first State Normal School, at Millers ville.and uowforthe third timocommissioned State Superintendent, a place ho has filled with remarkable fidelity and capacity of mild manners, thorough and vigilant, a fine public speaker, not a babbling politician, and a scholarly gentleman of tho purest char actcr. ho is eminently fitted for the post.

Always true to tho constitution ol his Stato anil of tlio Federal Union, he gr.i'ped with calm courago and rare judg ment iho many contingencies of legislation and of executive ditty which encountered liim at every step in his long and auluous political career. I will venture to assert, without tho fear of contradiction, that there is not now liv ing in I'ennsytvaiiia a single prominent Democrat who passed triumphantly and unscathed through the many trying ordeals that tested tlio talents, tlio po'litioal faith, tho honesty ,thecnurage and the patriotism of William liigler ! While yet but a young man, he commenced his political career in the Senate of his State, (which then had suspcndo.1 the payment of iutcrcston its debt in conc(uenee ol tho great panic ol '.i.s.l as the ardent defender of tho public faith, in opposition to tho demagogues who then advocated the horrid doctrine of lcpudia- tiou In accordance with that honcit and sound policy ,heat tlio same time forcibly advocated in the Senate the bill which compelled toe banks to resume specie payments, and the ever memorable bill'whicli abolished forever in the Stale nf Peniisvlvauiathat last ve.-tige of barbarism, the law of imprisonment for debt 1 niav here remark that tins was e-sentially a Democratic measure, every Whig in each branch of tho legislature vol incr inralust it. There is a strong resemblance between the panic of ';!S, which swept over tho country with blasting devastation and brought even the great State of Pennsylvania to tho very ve-re of bankruptcy, and the' panic of '7.'! inaugurated by the failure of Jay Conko a Co., tlio Unites! States government bankers. In each case the trouble came fiom enormous speculations and the worthlcvsncs-, of an unredeemable paper currency. Would it not then be wi-e and politic to place the helm of Stale in the hands of him who, iu his youth, contributed so much to rescue his -uato from tno con-eniiciiccs ot tho same calamities which now oppress us? William Rigler was not bom with a silver spoon in his mouth ; on tho contrary, ho passed in his youth through the severe or deal of poverty and toil. His parents, mnt respectable persons, lemoved shortly auer hi-, h mil ii-oiti Uuiul wilds of Mercer county, where ho spent tho hrst rcvcnteeu years nt lus lite maiiluliy battling with the toils and privations nl a hackwooiLiunn. Ho then moved to Hollo finite where, in tho printing oflico of hi biother.John Rigler, he received his educa tion iu this college where so many eminent, sell-made men of Pennsylvania graduated and took their degrees, There ho learned to think and express his thoughts. At the ago nf twenty he removed to Clearfield. Clear field county, where, with nu old pics nnd ha -worn tvnes. he commenced the publica tion uf a 'Democratic paper. Here the energy and self-reliance he had acquired iu tho lo'resls of Mercer did not desert him : throii.ru many difficulties ho succeeded in establishing liis paper on a linn basis and iu winning the respect and good willofnU who knew him. Some three years, after his ar riwil in Clearfield ho married oli-s Maria I. liccd, the daughter of a thriving merchant of that place, and shortly alter his maiuago, go ng into business with ins latncr-in-iaw Win Uigler showed himsMfin every ro.-pcot initial to tlio roiuiireiiients of his new posi tion, nnd in the cniu-o of u few years his fl.-m became the largest producers of lum li -t on the West Rranch ot the Siwpiehaiina i'lius by industry, economy ami honesty no i-eiinireil an indoiielldelit fortune ... , 1 ....
