there is no good reason therefor. Our markets

littlo girl shut out of doors and nearly frozen
pleading pitieoiisly of her mother to let her ill.
Tho neighbor went to the door and demanded
of Mrs, Hampton to let the child iu,sho replied
it was her cliilJ and she would do ns she plea
cd with her. When the finally told the child
to come in tho littlo one pleaded of her not to
put its hands on the stovo saying she would be
a good girl if Iter mother would not bum iier.
I have reason to believe Ibis woman pursues n

W. O.Hi)i.Miy,
There certainly is a way to deal wilh such
brutes, and perhaps if tbu sharp J a -1 1 of the
law were applied in a few instances, it would
be n warning to oilier Inhuman parents. When
such inscs!oine to the knowledge uf any cili
Zen they ought m be nr. Ju public, ami it that
does not end inhuman treatment of children,
Ibu proper officers of the law should taku the
mailer in hand.

Ill Pleasures and Dangers. A Xarroa Fscapt.
II M it a Molly Magmre Plot t
It is a very common opinion that thi life of
nn editor is one of tlio easiest and plcasantfst,
nnd that all the newspaper man has to do Is to
sit In his office and take In two dollar bills. If
peoplo holding such notions could spend a few
days constantly In a sanctum they would bo con
vinced of the crroncomncss of their belief.
Such a scene as the following Is not tinfro-
quent. A llully old gentleman comes up flairs
pulling and blowing with tho effort of the as
cent, and sits down and looks straight at the ed
itor until ho recovers his breath sufficiently to
inquire how much ho owes on subscription.
Tlie tditor cunsults tho hooks and tells him ho
owes five dollars for two years and a half. Then
tho old gentleman gets very reel in tho face and
says llicro is some mistake, that the hooks aro
not correct, that he lias paid up promptly every
year, that he has only taken the paper six
months, that he has got a receipt somewhere for
tho last three years, and that tie never look the
paper at all. Tlio editor, of course, undertakes
to convince him that he is mistakcisj nnd if suc
cessful the subscriber grows angry and insolent,
and settles tho dispute by paying the bill and
ordering his paper stopped. Kvery body knows
how pleasant It is to be lulu that you don't
know how lo keep books, nnd that you aro ask-
ng fur money that was never earned, and yet
tho poor editor has to stand mute and take daily
abuse of this kind, nil for the sum of two dollars
n year.
Hut this is not tlio worst of It. Wo are in
formed that certain editors in tho coal regions
find It necessary to keep guards about tliein to
prevent violenco being done to their persons.
Wo never dreamed it would become n necessity
here. But let us relate an Incident which will
illustrate the danger to which wo are sometimes
subjected. It was Saturday night. Cold blew
the wind around tho corners, nnd the crystal
frot glittered upon the windows. The town
clock had just struck half put ten, and then
froze up. All good c itizens, (except a tingle
individual connected with this oflice)were at
home with their families. Said individual had
entcreil the Sanctum, and was quietly and peace
ably engaged in inducing the lire in the stove
to become a littlo more vigorous, In or.ler that
he might comfortably take a parting glance at
the evening pipers. While thus engaged there
came a crash, like the bursting of a mighty
cannon, and immediately there was one less
pane of glass in our window, and the chill night
atmosphere came rushing in. Xot frightened,
oh no, but somewhat startled, tho individual
gazed out upon the spot whence oimo the mis-
tic, but only empty darkness met bis eye. The
hend bad fled. On (he following morning wo
found a window in the third slory, down from
le top, anil liva more panes were paid fur on
Monday. Wu are now convinced that there is
a plot, whether by the Mollie Maguires, or tlie
Mulligan Guard, we know not, but we do
know of some parties who had "engagements
up town" that night and who did not get homo
as early as usual. Since that memorable attack
upon our castle we have nightly entered it witli
fear and trembling, and it is with great caution
that we sit down In. our editorial chair, not
knowing but that the enemy has placet upon
the seat enough nitro-glycerinejto blow us up
among the twinkling stars. We are now reaily
to receive proposals for bomb proof abutters on
our b'k windows, and would also like to pur
chase a hull-dog nnd a second hand howitzer.
THE l'UIILIC SCHOOLS
On Friday of last week it was our privilege
to spend a few hours in tlie West District School,
and we were well pleased with wliat wesaw and
heard. In Itoom Xumber 1, presided over by
Prof, and Mrs. Schoonover, we found all tho
students engaged in n history leson, conducted
in a very interesting manner by the Principal.
The pleasant faces of the pupils showeel clearly
that they really enjoyed the work beforo them,
and that school was a place no longer dreaded,
as in days gone by. The exercises of the after
noon consisted in singing, reading compositions,
and declaiming, all of which wax done in a very
creditable manner. Wo next visited ltoom
Xumber 2, under the charge of Misses Arm
strong anil Vnnderslicc, where wo found the
6.uue kind of exercises in piogrcss. The littlo
folks seemed to take great pleasure in tho per
formance of the parts assigned them, and c.imo
oil' the stage with credit. In Room Xumber 3,
under Mrs. Geblcr, nnd Miss I lower, and Xum
ber 4, under Misses Gentzel and Unangst we
saw enough lo satisfy us of tlie excellent order
and discipline of tlie pupils, and of the interest
taken in their welfare by the teachers. All of
the school rooms are made attractive by tlie use
of pictures, plants, vines, mottoes, brackets and
other ornamentation. Jn ltoom Xumber 1,
several little fish were swimming about in a
globe of water.

There is not a town in the Stale which has
belter educational advantages than Illnomsburg,
Tho iieonlo have invested many thousands of
Jollars in school hou-es, and the best of teach
ers are employed ; and yet there is one serious
drawback hi Iho way of complete success.
There is not sufficient interut manifested by
parents.
To expect the schools to prosper without en
couragement from citizens, is to expect a fully
equipped ves-el sent out upon tho ocean with
out a compass, to reacli port in safe ty. A visit
tu the school room, is nlways appreciated by
Loth teachers and pupils, and thoso who pass
an afternoon in that way will bo fully repaid
for the time so spoilt. Wo shall endeavor to
give some information oncerning tlie Kat Dis

Tho bituminous coal mine ventilation bill
having been disposed of ftflcr tunning tho
gauntlet of Houso opposition and amend
ment during tho earlier part of last weck.nn
other bono of contention succeeded It in tho
shapo of tho new county bill, Introduced by
Mr. 1'lummcr, of Crawford county. In days
gono by bills for tho establishment of new
counties wero In no pleasant odor with Iho
people, nnd lest unpleasant recollections still
linger In their minds, lleprcscntatlvcs ato a
littlo chary about meddling with bills of this
character for fear they may prove, vcritnblo
"edged tools" to cut their lingers. Although
tho measure nt present pending, ttnllko some
of former yenrs of which mention might bo
made, has not lor Its object tlio aggrandize
ment of somo particular individual, yet It
is meeting with most determined opposition.
Those opposed to it claiming that if tho bill
becomes n law It will bo prolific of evils ef
which, if wo bcllcvo current reports, tlie
possible division of half tho counties of tho
Stato is tho least to bo feared. AH that is
required for tlio formation of n now county
by tliis bill is to hnvo n petition signed by
1,500 citizens ; nn nrcn of -100 squnre miles
without having tlio boundary lines within
10 miles of any county scat; a population
of 20,000 within tlio nrcn of tho proposed
county and two-thirds of tho vote within tlie
same. Tho whole of last Thursday wns ex
pended in tlio discussion of this bill nnd Its
passage is beset with many dlflicullies.
Tho session of Monday night was charac
terized by legislative action of a startling(?)
character. Last Monday was rendered mem
orable by the introduction of n measure
which, if successful, will tear up, root nnd
branch, n noted corporation. A movement
of last night, made by Mr. Christy, of Alle
gheny, may bo looked upon as rather more
startling.
A light between western dealers and tho
Pennsylvania Itailroad Company has long
been upon tho tapis, A variety of means
hnvo been attempted to bring the refractory
corporation to terms and prevent them from
making discriminations in tlio carrying of
freight, but without success. It was at last
determined to try the Legislature) and see
what could bo dono in that direction. Yes
terday evening, when petitions were in or
der, Mr. Christy,' of Allegheny, presented
and had read a petition signed by a large
representation of the above mentioned deal
ers. The petition, after setting forth the
various viohitiunsof charter and wrongs com
mitted by the Pennsylvania Itailroad Com
pany, closed with a request to tlio Legisla
ture to appoint a committee of investigation
to inquire into tlio various wrongs alleged,
and if said committee find tlio same to bo
true that the Legislature direct tho Attorney
General to proceed by 7110 irarmifj to forfeit
tho charter of tho Pennsylvania Itailroad
Company, claiming that the inalienable
rights of tho peoplo and tlio Constitution
shall bo declared paramount to the charter
of any corporation whatever. After the read
ing of this petition tho intention of Mr.
Christy to read in place a joint resolution
appointing a committee of investigation for
tho purposes named in tho petition was very
manifest. So whenever Mr. Christy endea
vored to get tho floor objections were raised,
aud an adjournment was cfl'ected before tlio
resolution could be read in place. This
morning Mr. Christy again attempted to gel
in tho resolution, but tlio motion to do so
was tabled on a call of tho yeas and nays.
The general appropriation committee had
under consideration for some time the bill
making an appropriation to tho Colored Sob
tliers' Orphans' School at Iiridgcwatcr, Bucks
county, and finally negatived tho tame on
tho grounds that by tho bill an appropna-
propriatiou of $40 more to every colored f.ol
dier's orphan was asked than was given to
white soldiers' orphans. Last night certain
members of tho IIouse,undcr the spokesman'
ship of PctrolT, of Philadelphia, dissatisfied
with the action of the committeo forced tho
bill from their hands and had it placed upon
the calendar, whore it will probably meet
with a rather more summary defeat than it
did in committee. A Democratic House 0
Iteprcsentativcs is not likely to givo to tho
orphans of colored soldiers $10 a head moro
than they do to those of white soldiers.
Doth Houses liavo adjourned over to-mor
