resonndtd through our streets a few even

long procession of people anxiously inquiring
as to the whereabouts of the conflagration.
The lurid light Boon directed us to the spot,
when we found that it was a large house of
private iteposit connected with the W. Ward
School House. The building was entirely
destroyed with all its inmates several hun

The Odd Fellows celebrated on Saturday
the anniversary of the establishment of their
order by a public parade in full regalia, after
which they repaiied to the Lutheian Church
and listened to an eloquent oration from that
able orator and zealous divine, liev. Baker.
Business is reviving briskly in our city.
Labor is in demand, and more buildings are
going up this Spring than there were last.
Our Methodist frieuds are erecting a nfat
aud handsome chapel on the south tide of
the city, the large church on the west side
having become entirely too small for the ac
commodation of their greatly increased num
bers. The Lutherans are going to make-a
large addition to and otherwise improve their
church building, while the Baptists contem
plate the erection of the finest house of wor
bhip iu our midst. Some of our enterprising
citizens are putting up a town hall, market
house and academy. Mr. C. Jsggard has
under way several fine buildings Otto Rossi
is tearing down his store Aud resider.co to
build on a larger scale Miss E. McMullin

Tiia black and tans of the third ward are
at their old game of lying and deception.
They have ' petitions in circulation praying
for the removal of the election polls from the
Woods Honse to a stable belonging to one
of the black and tan fraternity. They were
particularly careful cot to ask any person,
except one or two, not truly I.il" to sign
these petitions. One man, poor soul, Woik

Our radical plugs had quite a war on a
small scale in the organization of a Grant
Club, or rather after it was organized. They
elected the ninth part of a man. a racy chap,
President, a gentleman of wonderful Powers
Vice President, and a Patent man Secretary.
After thn meeting a few of the elect called
on tho Presideut to adjust a little misunder
standing. A sharp colloquy ensued, and
fiom words they came to blows tbe war
waxed warm and wa6 carried into Africa.
This racy President, forgetting his early re
ligious training, in a fit of "loil'' indignation
seized a hatchet and swore by damn if they
didn't immediately vacate his shanty he
would find a road to their brains, if they
had any. After several gymnastic feats
these "loil" intruders beat a hasty retreat
through the hole the carpenter left, feeling
rather unpleasant seusations in the vicinity

A Phoghessi ve City. A fow months ab
sence from Altooua enabled us to recognize
more readily, during cur recent visit, the as
tonishing progress which that goodly city
h,is made in substantial improvements and
enlarged enterprise. On all sides may be
witnessed evidence of thrift and business
tact and talcr.f, and row here the within
its limits are these evidences more plainly
visible than at the large business estab
lishment of the Altooua Warehouse Compa
ny, which is in itself one of the most impor
tant enterprises yet set on foot ia this portion
of the State. This Company makes known
its facilities for merchandising through our
advertising columrs to-day, and our readers
will not on'y do we 1 to examine their card,
but cannot fail to sava money iu buying
from an J make mvuey in sailing their pro
duce to the Altoona Warehouse Company,
which is composed of reliable, liberal and
progressive business men.
Another no less inporUnt enterprise in its
way is the large wholesale and retail tin,
copper and sheet iron ware and stove depot
of Messrs. Fries & Bro., which certainly ex
ceeds in dimensions of room and exte: t of
stock any similar establishment out-i le cities
of greater pretensions. While in this st -re
we were 6hown a most desirable Cook Stove,
called the "Mountain Star," manufactured
expressly for this fimi, which has many ap
parent advantages over any other stovo yet
brought before the public. It is got up
with revetsible cross pieces, which can be
placed any way upon the st ve, and by
which means the tendency ef these pieces to
warp i-" ei.tirely avoided. It is much heav
ier than other 6toves, and will commend
itself to all who examine it, as indeed will
all other articles kept by ths Messrs. Fries,
who are4enab!td to do better fur their custom

TIiv Initialization or Taxes
$cboul Purposes.
for
A proposition to which I desire to call at"
tentiou, is that of equalization of Taxes for
School Purposes. At present, tho blessings
ot popular education, aud tbe burdens of
taxation for school purposes, are sadly un
equal in the different parts of the State.
The genial smiles of the school system, un
like "the quality of mercy," fall not
'As the gentle rain from heaven
Upon tbe place bentath."
In many districts where the highest rates
of schwol tax are paid, the Echoois can be
kept open only the minimum school term,
aud with great difficulty at that. A few
statistics will best illustrate this : Cambria
county pavs for "school purposes" a tax of
12 15 milfs on the dollar, and keeps her
schools open 4.5 months in tbe year ; Lan
caster county pays but 3.3 mills ou the
dollar, and keeps her school open 6.75
months in the year. Again: Clearfield
county pays a tax of 11 mills on the dol
lar, an.l keeps her schools open less than
4.5 months in the year; Bucks county pays
a tax of 4.13 mills on the dollar, and keeps
her schools open more than 8 months in
the year. Jefferson county pays a tax of
11.5 mills on the dollar, and keeps her
schools open a little more than 4 5 months
in the year ; Chester county pays only 8.83
mills on the dollar, and keeps her schools
open S months in the year. From this we
see that the people of Cambria connty pay
Leaily 9 miils on the dollar more taxes thau
tho people of Lancaster county, and yet
receive 2-25 months less school term every
vear. In the same manner we find that the
people of Clearfield county pay nearly 7 mills
on tbe dollar more, aud receive neatly 4
months less school term, than the peopla of
Backs county ; while the inhabitants of Jef
ferson county pay more than 7 mills on the
dollar m. re tax than the inhabitants of
Chester county, yet the latter receive 3.5
months mora ot school every .year than the
former.
This inequality aad uufairnesa exists be
tween different districts in every section of
the State. The remedy can be found only
iu an equalization of the taxation for school
purposes over the entire Commonweulth.
It has been well said, that as the safety and
prosperity of a free State depend upon
the virtue and intelligence of iu citizer s,
aud as these qualities can only exist by be
iug propagated by means of a virtuous edu
cation, it becomes the duty of the State to
make provision for the education of those
who are to be its future citizens. And, in
making provision for education, it is the
duty of the State to furnish means of instruc
tion, to an equal dogrec, to the children of
all its parts, since it is upon the virtue and
intelligence of the whole, and not upon a
part merely, of its citizens, that the prosper
ity and safety of the State depend. There
fore, the humblest child, iu the poore.-t dis
trict, ought to have facilities lor elementary
instruciiou, equal t those residing In tbe
most fao ed part of the State."
By a proper adjustment of the taxation,
every section and every district of the State
would have an equal burden to bear, and
would receive an equal Ehare of the benefits
flowing from a wise and well-conducted
school system. A slightly heavier load would
be imposed on those s-ctions which have
hitherto had but little to carry, while a
corresponding relief would be afforded those
poorur.districts which have for years beeu up
bearing a weight tf tax. ition that would crush
even broad shouldered Atlas to the ground
A beneficent institution would then be sus
tained by a moderate burden weighing upou
all sections aiike, aud the ou-coming genera
tions cf Pennsylvanians would be indoc
trinated in the principles of "Virtue, Liberty,
and Independence, " the glorious trinity in
scribed upon the escutcheon of our State.
Such are the men who should constitute the
Commonwealth.
"Men who their dutiet know,
Uut know their right, and, kuowinj
dare maiutaiu ;
Prevent the long-aiiu'd blow,
And crash the tyrant while they rend
the chain."
To educate the youth of our country to
this high status, is the imperative duty of
the State, aud to.do this, impartial advan
tages must be affjrded to all. We cannot
think that the State has performed its entire
duty when it has merely laid the same bur
den upon the shoulders of all sections, and
has not considered the ability of the differ
ent sections to bear it.
But we do not ask the State to take a
step backward. No ; the step that we
would ask her to take would be a progressive
one. We claim that it is simply Just that
Lancaster and Bucks and Chester and other
wealthy counties should share with us the
burden ofeducating the youth of our country.
Cambria and Jefferson counties are just as
much integral parts of the Slate as any
other counties, and their children should be
educated just as we'd as the children ot any
other part of the Commonwealth.
We do not complain because we have to
pay a higher rate of taxes than any other
county "in the State. Cambria county
will do her duty all the time. She will
educate her children at whatever it costs.
The school system is bound up in the hearts
of her people. There is not a onu accepting
district in the county, and there has not
been one for years. The number of oppo
nents of the system in the county, who kuow
what they are talking about, would not
make up a corporal's guard. We hae as
good school bouses, as well qualified teachers,
as zealous directors, as appreciative people,
as any county. We pay our teachers as
good salaries as any county. But it is all
we can do. We are about up to the limit.
And we ask now for an equalization of the
taxes not as a charity, not in a complaining
spirit, but because it would be tmyjnsl and
right, aud because we would enjoy the sight
of seting other people do as thej would wish
to be done by. T. J. C.

Mk. R. L Joiinstok Dear Sir : Noticing
an error in a statement made in your last
issue of the Freeman, I take leasure in
correcting the same so far as my knowledge
of the affair extends. The dispute between
G inlet and Finley, arising out of an over
indulgence in fighting whiskey.' did not oc
cur in White township, but in Clearfield
township, at the residence of Ginlet, the
principal tragedian. As for White town
ship, I think it stands about as high in
poiut of morality or temperance as any of
her sister townships in the connty. She can
at present proudly boast of five churches,
seven school houses, and last but not least
of. all, not a single rum shop or drinking
house within her limits. Can a township in
this or any of the adjoining counties beat it?
By giving place to the above in your col
umns, you will greatly oblige A Citizen.
The above 6tale of things is true of our
White population generally. Ed. Freeman.

owe an apology to our friend, J. Trainor
Kiug, for failing to acknowledge at an ear
lier day the reception of a copy of the above
named Magazine, of which he is editor, and
the perusal of which has afforded us no little
gratification, not to say sound and solid in
formation. The work is got up in msst ex
cellent typographical taste, and is replete
with historical, biographical, poetical, and
miscellaneous contents a credit alike to
the editor and printer. ''Pittsburg, Pas.t
and Present," a paper of which Mr. King is
the author, and the first chapter of which is
published in connection with this pamphlet,
is a most interesting, instructive, and enter
taining sketch of the rise and progress of the
"Iron City," and indicates a fund of careful
thought, diligent search, and thorough di
gest of old manuscripts and historical studies
which does honor to the mind aud descrip
tive power of our friend, the author. Mr.
King was at one time a resident of Johns
town, and is well and favorably known in
this county ; and for his own sake, as well
as for the merits of the Magazine itseif, we
trust that his literary labors will be properly
appreciated in our midst. The subscription
price is only fifty cents per yeir, and the
money could not be better invested. Ad
