Tff late Stbphs Llotd, Esq The vVaUi of this gentleman requires something more than a pas-sing notice. He was the son (the eldest son, we believe) of Mr. Rees Llojd, the founder of Ebensburg.

On the 2Cth March, 1804. was passed "An Act to erect parts of Lycoming. Hunt ingdon, and Somerset counties into sepa rate county districts." By the sixth sec tion of this act, Cambria county was erected "rom parts of Somer. The act provided that tbe "place of holding the courts of jus ico for the said county shall be fixed by the legislature at any place not at a greater distance than seven miles from the center of ;aid county, which may be most beneficial xn J convenient for said county." After a struggle between Monster, Eb- -.sburg, and Beula for tbe county seat, it as, by act of 29th March, 1805, fixed at -.ensburg. John Horner, John J.

SrarxG Pcrchases. It is no longer nec essary for persons to visit the great fashion emporiums of the East in order that they may make sure to obtain a fashionable ward robe, or a nice suit of 'clothes. We do not mean to say that there has been any neces sity foi it, especially for the last year or two ; yet such are the attractions In other towns and cities always held out by the merchants in those places tbat oar young men have largely patronized them, thinking that here at home we have no establishments which can furnish them with what they want. A greater mistake was never made. As a rule, our merchants are gentlemen of decided taste and enterprise, whose pleasure it is to supply their patrons with the rich and elegant fabrics constantly coming into market ; and this they do Invariably every season, both in regard to variety and style, and at as low prices a3 any house in the Eastern cities. It is simply because our people have not taken the pains to visit some of our leading establishments that they have kept themselves in ignorance of the fact that they can purchase here at home for precisely what thev must pay in other cities, (and sometimes' buy cheaper, too,) any arti cles of dress they may desire. One such establishment is V. S. Barker's Cheap Cash Store, Ebensburg. Fa. Mr. Barker has just received and opened, from the Eastern cities, the largest and best selected stock of ready-made clothing ever opened out in Ebensburg ; and aa he has the latest arrival, he surely has the latest fash ions. We were favored with a glimpse of this splendid stock of goods, and saw some entirely new cuts in cassimere coats, a nice line of plain black cloth suits, now so much worn, some very fancy cassimere suits, very cheap, and coats, pants, and vests in great variety, either in suits to match, or sepa rate, as the purchaser may wish. Also, a new stock of dusters, ready for the summer trade. Next to the clothing department are hats. No person wishes to buy a suit of clothes without a nice hat to go with them. Mr. Barker, aware of this fact, has selected a stock of hats tbat we are sure will please everybody. He has some entirely new styles of hats, of the latest fashions, among the rest the "Stanley," which for style and betuty exceeds anything we have ever seen, ne has fine light-colored hats, no mn.:h worn at the present time, and a full line of black hats, both cotton and wool, for men's and boys' wear. Also, a new stock of straw hats. In boots and shoes, (like everything else in his line,) Mr. Barker has a full stock, for either men, ladies, boys, girls, or chil dren. For men's wear, wo saw gaiters, of both kid and calf, (both Congress and lace style,) and something new in the way of a shoe called the "Sheridan," which is very nice for a light summer shoe. Now, when you have bought a necktie, or a fancy but terfly, (of which Barker has the nicest style ever aaade,) you will have a complete outfit, nice enough for any person In the world to wear. If yeu wish to get married, go to Barker's for a suit of clothes. If you wish to visit your friends, and want a nice suit of clothes, don't forget Barker's. By way of variety, we will say a few words about ladies' wear. If you want a nice sunnier shawl, and want something entirely different from anything you have ever seen, and want to get the latest fash ions, and above all want to buy them cheap, go to Y. S. Barker's, and yon will be sure to fiad just exactly what you want, either in price, color, or style. For ladies' shoes, Barker has a gpeat variety, both fine and heavy, all prices and qualities. To a per son who has been moving, and is abeut fit ting up new rooms, if you should need any wall paper, at Barker's you will find the only complete stock kept in Ebensburg. Also, a large lot of window blinds. For the farmers, V. S. Barker has received a full stock of scythes, snathes, forks, rakes, hoes &c, all ready for planting and har vesting. From this brief outline of tie stock at Y. S. Barker's, it must be manifest tbat buyers will best consult their interests by selecting from it, because it is fall and complete in every particular, containing the choicest goods that money can buy, to the most or dinary grades. Such a stock of goods has rarely ever boon seen in this town in any lino of trade, nd It is only due to Mr. Bar ker that we should add that he is determined to keep up the assortment and sell as cheap as any other house in the Union. We were convinced that the crowds of customers were satisfied that they had found the right spot to make their purchases, for with practical eye they pioked ont such articles as they wantd, and declared their delight over the bargains they had made in expressions which left no doubt in our mind that Mr. Barker thoroughly understands how to give entire satisfactioa to every patron. Ladies are sure to meat with prompt attention at this establishment, and every lady should cer tainly Inspect the stock at ace, as they will find precisely the articles they need, and at the very lowest prices. Rsmbii ber Backer's t Moore vs. Cole. The case of T. Blair Moore vs. Joseph Cole, in bankruptcy, was commeac3d in the U. S. District Court, at Pittsburg, before Judgo McCandless, on Wednesday, the 6th instant, and concluded on Tuesday of last week, by a verdict for the defendant. G. M. Reads, Esq., for plain tiff; R. L. Johnston for defendant. During the trial, the followiug "queer" lines were handed to the counsel for defend ant : Mr. Cole, I believe, is a very good soul, And I cannot accept it as true He would stoop, sir, to rob, or to do a mean job. But that is between me .nd yon. On the other side, sir, it is plain to infer There's something essentially queer : There's more than one sees a snake, if you please.

Just think of it ! one hundred and seventy fe et of store and ware rooms nnder one root, running back in continuous succession, and filled to repletion with more goods than "you could shake a stick at !" Ain't that a big thing for Ebensburg ? Yon bet It is, and while you are laying the wager, just put up an additional X upon these terms, and we will hold th stakes : That Geo. Huntley has the longest store room in Northern Cam bria, at least that he keeps more stoves, more hardware, more tinware, more groce ries, and a more general variety of goods in his line than any other dealer in the county, and sells as cheap as any man in the retail trade can sell (and pay for his goods), no matter in what community the aforesaid man may bo doing buslaess. Note this fact, and have the whulom to act on the hint it conveys. Our down street neighbor, Mr." Geor q Gurley, has determined to abandon the g every business, and will corxmen-.e the Balo by auction, on the first of June next, of hn ctire stock of groceries, etc. "COMMUSICATED The Equalization of Taxes Tor School rurposes. No. 3. In urging the equalization of school taxes over the State, it is not because we complain of the onerous burden which we bear. We do not complain that we pay a rate of more than .012 per cent, for school purposes. A labor of love is never Irksome ; and the education of their children is the object upon which the people of Cambria have 6et their hearts. We urge this proposition not merely because we would like to have our rate of taxation reduced, but because we would like to be euabled to keep our schools open longer, and pay our teachers better wages. Our children would then have not only the advantage of this greater length of school term, but also the instruc tions of better teachers. Higher wages and more permanent employment wonld attract to and keep within the profession many excellent persons who now have their minds aet npon some other object. In a former article we attempted to show that it is tbe duty of the State to afford means of instruc tion to the youth of all parts of the State alike. We repeat that it is only just and right that the stronger sections of the State should be made to assist those that are weaker in a work that is for the benefit of all. In the past year, tbe total cost of tuition, fuel, and contingencies for tbe schools of the entire State was $3,083,600.14 ; the aver age wages of teachers was $31,69, and the length of school term was 5 months, IS J days. The average rate per cent, of school tax, leaving out b'lildirg tax, which is aU ways considered separately, was 7.25 mills. Now, suppose taxation were equalized all over the State, and that the rate fixed upon were 10 mills. This would not be high. Ten counties in the State, one of which is Cambria, pay this or a higher rate to-day. If it is not unfair for ten counties to pay this, it is not unfair for all to pay it. That is oar ground. Suppose then that it were equalized at 10 mills : the result would be that, ceterij paribus, we could pay out teachers an average of $43.71, instead of $31.60, as at present, or we could keep our schools open exactly 8 months in the year. Or what, perhaps, would be tbe "golden mean," we could keep our schools open 6 months in the year, and pay our teachers good wages all around. But, as the same ratio will no d ubt always exht between the Wages of male and female tachers. the former for a four months' terra would get an average salary of $49.48 per month, and the latter $37.94. and, of course, a propor tionately smaller sum per month for longer terms. This, and what-with the difference in wages which the better teachers always should receive over the poorer ones, will do more to make teaching a profession per manent, honorable, and lucrative, than all the talking and revolting that we can do at Teachers' Institutes in our lives. "Resolve, and re-resolves, then dies the same." This calculaticn is based upon the present state of things. We have not taken into Consideration the higher valuation of real estate as fixed by the last triennial assess ment; the natural increase of our popula tion, and the consequent larger per capita tax, nor the greatly enlarged State appro priation to be hereafter made. Could this consummation, so devoutly to be wished, be reached, we feel safe in saying that every school in the entire area of our Common wealth could be kept open six months in the year, and good teachers be employed for every school at salaries of from $40 to $60 per month. To our mind, this is no dream of Utopia. It is entirely practicable. It would entail upon no county or district in the State a burden. as great as that which Cambria and some other counties have to bear now. We think we are not asking too much in asking this, and we trust that the peeple of every district now paying a high rare ot taxes, and receiving inadequate benehts, will join in the clamor until justice is ob tained. But we wish to correct a wrong impres eion, it one has been mde In the mind of the reader. Matters with us are not so bad aa they look. A gentleman once traveling over a cross ro;d in our western country, beheld by the roadside a very dilapidated building. It was so singularly wretched, that he wondered if it could be the dwelling of any human being. While he stood regard ing it, a ssrubby-headed follow made his ap pearance at the sashless window, and hailed the gentleman thus : I say, stranger. I'm not so poor as yon think I am ; J don't own this house." And so, we are not so poor as some people may think we are i-or if we are, we are generous withal.- This further state ment we know will be read with satisfaction by every Cambria county man : Adams county keeps her schools open just 4.76 months, pay a tax for school purposes of 3. 09 mills, and pays her teachers an average salary of $27.77 i per month : Franklin county keej;s her schools open 5.52 months, pays a tax of 8.47 mills, and pays her teachers $28.94 per month ; Lebanon county keeps her schools open S 70 months, pavs a tax of 5 mills, and pays her teachers $28. 90 per month ; Union county keeps her schools opoa 5.20 mouths, pays a tax of 2.98 mills, and gives her teachers $27.77 er month. O, bountiful Adams, Franklin, Lebanon, and Union! Does anybody think it would hurt them much if they were made to pull up a little better? Cambria, "the least among the princes of Juda." keeps her schools open 4.48 months in the year, pays a school tax of 12.15 mills on the dol lar, and gives her teacher $29 99 per month within one cent of thirty dollars. What is here said of Adams, Franklin. Lebanon and Union, might with equal propriety be Said of half the counties in the State. Need anything more be urged in behalf of an equalization ef the school taxet.over the State ? We think not. Webelive that every candid man, of whatever section, will see that it is a scheme practicable, just; and proper. T. J. C. Tub Non-Explosive Metrofolitax Oil is manufactured and sold by M L.

It is a mooted question which store in Ebensburg is the largest, the most conveni ent, and the most tasteful. Without at tempting to decide this question, we make free to say that R. R. Davis' store is at once large, convenient, and tasteful large enough to hold an immense stock of new spring goods, convenient enough to afford ingress and egress for a multitude of customers, and tasteful enough to please the eye and cap tivate the fancy of all who look upon it. C. T. Roberts, in addition to being agent for Grover Baker's and Singer's sewing machines, is also agent for the sale of the celebrated Howe sewing machine. There are many who pronounce the Howe the best machine manufactured. The public are in vited to go and look at it, and compare it with the others.
