It is alleged by persons competent to
judge, that the wheat crop of Cambria this
year will more than double the yield of last
Feaion. The same will hold good in regard
to neighboring counties.
Tho barn of Daniel Shrader, in Sewickly
township, Westmoreland county, was struck
by lightning on Sunday week, and barn,
vl eat, hay, machinery, etc.. to the value of
fifteen hundred dollars, were destroyed.

A German resident of Yoder township,
named John Widman. fell from the iron
bridge near tho Cambria Iron Co.'s store,
Johnstown, on Saturday week, and received
injuries which caused his death the next
evening.
The painters art has made a great im
provement in the outward appearance of the
Town lLd', which is now one of the finest
looking buildings in our town. Messrs.
John tjtutigh and Jerry Fegan did the work,
and they have certainly done it well.
Mr. John Skelly, of Rlacklick township,
was thrown from a horse, on Saturday last,
and receive I a severe fracture of ths hip
Ixjne. Ti e "u jury is of a serious character,
and as he is a man of some seventy years of
Ace, his recovery may be considered doubt
ful. A Scotch miner named John ITodgets,
vhile intoxicated, fell or lay down upon the
railroad track near the Johnstown ihition,
on Monday ni;ht week, and was run over
aud instantly killed by the mail train w.'st
a hunt half-past, ten o'clock. His body was
fi.irribly mar.gled.
The house of Ir. D. D. Taylor, at Irwin,

Mrs. Kate Moore, of Dell township, West
moreland county, was noticed going into an
old cooper shop at HuB a saltworks, one day
not long since, and shortly after the dead
body of a child was found secreted iu the

the train, or that portion if it not demoral
ised, was gut in running order ami proceeded
n its way, but when in th vicinity of WU
Mure on Mund.y corning, owing to the
fict that no flagman had given the required
wamiiig, it came in collision with the puid.cr
of the local freight eat,t, which for some
purpot-e had passed cu to the western track,
nnd the result of this collision was the seri
ous ii jury cf the engineer of the trnin, David
Randolph, and the fireman, John Flanagan,
as well as the u'nv .st total demolition cf four
of the cars and the engine attached to the
train. Tim pushir also sustained consider
able damage. The train engine was thrown
from tho track nnd almost broken to pieces,
ami how the engineer aud fireman escaped
with their lives seems to us a mystery. Ran
dolph 1-.re but few outward injuries, yet it
was fcui-d that he was injured internally to
an extent that might eventually prove fatal.
Flanagan, who was held by the machinery
for an hour or two before he could be extri
cated, had ere of l is aims broken and the
fiVsh on his thigh, by which he was held,
badly lacerated. Both tuc. injured men were
taken to Altoona, where they reside.
Dastarm t Outrages. During the past
ten days or two weeks there has been quite
a number of complaints made in regard to
Kn otiVnce for which it is hard to conceive a
motive, much less form an excuse. Several
lad ie have had very valuable dresses ruined
in consequence of vjtrtol having been thrown
upon the skirts of them while promenading
our streets, but thus far it is not publicly
known who the miscreants are who have en
gaged in this nefarious and hellish business.
Ooe or two links, however, have beeu ob
tained in the chain of evidence, and we may
yet have the satisfaction of announcing that
the bare wretches who could conceive and
execute such dastardly outrages are serving
the State in capacities for which they are
best fitted and certainly most worthy and
deserving.
To be Revived. We have no direct au
thority fur the assertion, but from what we
sco and what we hear we are led to believe
that the AUeghanian newspaper, which gave
up the ghost some five months ago, is to be
resurrected, and will probably tm.ke its ap
pearance next week. Mr. Hutchinson is to
be aided in the publication by Mr. Eel.
James, and with two such competent prin
ters, clever editors, and deserving fellows,
we certainly hope that tho AUeghanian will
henceforth be a permanent and paying insti
tution. e fear, however, that the defeat
of Grant, which is as certain as fate, will
conugn the AUeghanian. as well as its party,
to a death that will never know another res
urrection. On a Visit. Our venerable friend. Mr.
Michael Hughes, formerly of Cbambersburg,
Pa., now of New York, is spending a few
days on the mountain. Also, our young
friend. Mr. P. V. Rodrigue. of the house of
Kugene Kelly & Co., Bankers. New York, is
cn a visit to Ebensburg. We trnst they
inay both derive benefit from the wholesome

A Complete Stocx. In tho way of drugs,
mediciues, books, stationery, notions, ic,
no more ample stock has ever l-cen brought
to Ebensburg than is now in iftore at the es
tablishment of Messrs. Lemmcn fir Murray,
and no assortment combines more fully va
riety, freshness and superiority. Add to
this the fact that the proprietors aro enabled
to sell aM goods at jast as reasonable figures
as tbey rau bo bought anywh"re, and it is
not saying too much to assort that Messrs.
Lcmnion fir Murray are fully prepared to
supply the wants of a'l persons in Northern
Cambria. Their new st ek of jewelry is
very handsome, snd their facilities for pur
chasing photograph albums enables them to
sell these articks cheaper than any other
dealers in tho county. See their advertise
ment and then go and see thir stock,
Combined Reaper and Mower. A num
ber of our citizens witnessed on Monday the
operation of one of these machines in a field
belonging to Mr. Barker, adjoining town.
The machine worked admirably, and cut
and laid the rye (and it was a heavy crop)
in the speediest and neatest possible manner.
The machine is called the "Valley Chief,"
and is manufactured at Mount Joy, Lancas
ter county. This one is the first that has
evei been introduced into this county, and
in the estimation of competent judges is far
superior to any Reaper and Mower ever used
here. Goo. C. K. Zahm. Esq., is the agent
in this count' fur the manufacturers of this
machine, and can give all needful informa
tion in regard to it.

The Sctiool Sctfrintexdent's Annual
Report. We lae been presented by Mr.
T. J. Chapman, A. M.. Cctcty Superintend
ent, with a copy of hia report for the year
ending June 1st, 1868. We give below such
oortfena of it as we can find space for in our
columns. After alluding to the fact that he
has been only commissioned since October
5th, 18G7. atd that he was forced to go to
work without any time in which to soTVey
the work before him,. Mr. Chapman goes cn
to treat of the educational progress which
has been made in the county during tbe year
ending with the above data. This portion of
his report we give entire :
Hocses. A number of school houses have
been built during the year. Thee are all de
cided improvements upon the style of houses
which bus usually obuined in this county.
The new house in iiiilville, mentioned in last
year's report as in course of ereetion, was com
pleted in time for the term commencing last
October. It is of brick, two good Btoriea in
Light, roofed with slate, and surmounted with
a cupola and belL The halls, staircases, reci
tation rooms, etc. , are in proj ection at two op
posite ends of the building. The building
stands in a large lot which is enclosed by a
good fence, and contains such outhouses as are
nessary. The school house is warmed by
heateis placed in the basement. The house
contains four school rooms which are provided
with desks and seats of the latest improved
patterns, with large blackboards of liquid sla
ting, with outline maps, cards, charts, etc.
The cost of the bnilding was about $16,000.
The fact 1?, Millville has set a laudable exam
ple for other districts to follow.
And they seem to b following it. Johnatewn
has just completed a new house, the very coun
terpart of that in Millville. Ita cost was about
the same. Public school ia no taught in it.
Two new houses were erected In Allegheny
townihip during the year. These are as good
countrj school houses as can be found any
where Urge, airr, light, well ventilated, well
painted inside and out, substantially built, pro
vided with good eeats, blackboards, etc., and
last, butno:. least, properly located. The other
districts that have built duricg the year are
Chest 1, Jarkson 1, Conemtfigh 1, Summerhili
1, Taylor 2, Washington 1, tJusquehanna 2,
Richland 2. These hare all done well, and
speak noble words for the interest which our
eople leel in tbe cause of popular education.
ScnooLs Our schools, so far as I could dis
cover in visiting them, and from what I could
learn by lnquiri?;, have done reasonably well.
Some of tliein bare done very well indeed
others, of course, not so well. There have
been very few, if any, cases of decided failure.
Some diuatiefaction has been expressed con
cerning a few of the teachers ; but when was
this otherwise? As good an illustration as I
cm tfiva of the success of our schools during
the year, is the fact that the per cent, of at
teudaoce iu 71 school of which I made memo
randa was a traction over 70. Thee schools
wora not selected eases, but were taken just as
they came, and represent, I be!!ve, a very fair
average of all. I should kave been pleased to
make note of the per cent, of attendance of all
tbe schools that 1 visited, but a number were
visited during the first month of the term, of a
inmhor of oiliers the report books were not in
the echool house, and could not be consnlted,
&hd in a few instances the lepoits were not
made out.
Examinations 0ing to causes which I
mentioned ia the first paragraph of this report,
I prooecded at once, after receiving my com
mission, to hold examinations. My first public
examination was held Oct. 9th. As I had not
time to derive or even think ot anv'cther meth
od of examining, I adopted the plan of my pre
decessor. Jndeed, a better has not yet suggest
ed itself to my mind. Examinations had been
aereitiseu lor Aliilville and Johustown on tlaJ
3d and 4th days of October, and in the interim I
between the resignation of Mr. Condon and the:
appointment of a superintendent iu his place;
Mr. S. B. M'Oormick was authorized by the
Department to hold those examinations, his
proceedings to be subject to the approval or dis
approval of the superintendent wheu one ehould
be appointed. Mr. M'C. examiueJ aud granted
certificates to 42 persons. On my acc?sion to
office, I approved of his proceedings. Bering
the year 59 male and 153 female applicants
were examined, and two males and two females
were rejected: Of tko whole number examined
34 had cever taught.
CEanncATrs Of the persons to whom cer
tificates were granted, 1 34 hole provisional cer
tificates, 4 hold Professional certificates issued
by my predecessor and endorsed by myself, 6
have Professional ceitificates granted by my
eelf, and 5 possess Termaneiit certificates.
Visitation The season was well advanced
before I was ready to begin my visitations.
During the course of the winter I visited 167
schools, and spent on an average one hour and
a half iu each school. In addition to filling the
column of items in the note book famished by
the Department, I made such other memoranda
of the appearance, progress and conduct of the
echoed as suggested themselves to my mind.
1 usually made a short address to the pupils,
and gave the teachers such direction aa 1 tho't
proper. . In the course of these duties I travel
led over 1600 miles, mostly on foot. Wherever
1 have been, I have been uniformly treated
with kindnef s and respect.
Other Schools. Last summer three Nor
mal Schools were established in the countv
ono at Johnstown, under A. C. Johnson, A.M.,
one at Ebensburg, in charge of Miss C A.
Home, and one at Loretto, taught by Miss Liz
zie Marshall. These schools were all well at
tended, and effected a good work among oar
teachers.
At Loretto is an excellent school for females
condurted by the Sisters of Mercy. This pleas
ant village is also the seat of St. Francis' col
lege, a Roman Oatholic institution, of which
Rev. A. J. Brown is President. This school is
in a nourishing condition. It had, for the term
ending July 1st, a corps of V2 professors, and
an attendance of 94 boarding students. Ar
rangements are making for more extensive ac
commodations for the fall term.
Denominational schools are kept up "all the
vear round" in somo parts of the countv. Thus
the German Roman Catholics have a school in
Conemauffh boroush wbich has over 200 pupils.
The German Lutherans have a school ia Johns
town, which is very largely attended.
By the munificence of tbe Cambria Iron Co.
night schools were established last fall, one in
Cambria borough, under Mr. J. A. llairold,
and one in Cenemaugh borough, under Mr. A
O. Johnson. Thc6e schools were.krpt in opera
tion for several months. The thanks of many
an otherwise neglected boy are dee tbe gener
osity of this corporation.
Institutes. Our County Institute was held
in January, commencing the sixth ay of the
month. It was a success, rt e baa a large at
tendance under the circumstances, and eur
teachers went away gratified and benefitod.-
For lecturers at the Institute we had Cyrus El
der, Samuel Singleton, a. 9. Jack and . U
Boyd ; for instractors, S. 3. Jack, S. G. Boyd,
J. F. Condon, Sam'l Singleton, Geo. "W. Cope,
and Dr. D. W. Evans. Our sessions were well
attended by the public, and I am safe In saying
that the Institute wrought a good work outside
of our profession. District Institutes were
maintaided in quite a number of districts thro'
the winter. They had a good effect upon the
teachers who participated iu them.
Mr. Chapman then compliments the press
of the county upon the alacrity it has ever
skown in aiding the cause of education, pays
a merited tribute to the "Teachers' Advo
cate," charges the pulpit with shameful and
astonishing indifference in this important
particular, reviews at some length the obsta
cles in the way of improvement, which be
classifies under the heads of low salaries,
short terms and angraded salaries, and. con
cludes bis report with a few suggestions
which we deem of sufikient importance to
publish in full:
The first and second of the difficulties tinder
which we labor can be properly reaaedied only
by moke if okkt. And we haven't got any more
money. Cambria county row pays a higher
rate of taxation than aay other county ia the
State. She does this cheerfully, because the
education of her children is th otic object dear
est Vf her beart. And where ia the money t?
come Irom ? "tt'e think that money for the
support of public schools should be levied by
an equalled rate of taxation over the ?tte.
It is believed ihat by an equalized rate of
taxation of 10 mills on the dollar, a sufficient
amount of money could be raised to keep the
schools of the commonwealth open 8 months
in the year, and pay $30 per month ; and bet
ter wages tor proportionate) j shorter terms ;
and when we take into consideration tbe higher
valuation of real estate as fixed by the last tri
ennial assessment, the large increase in our
population and the consequent larger per capita
mi, iiiiu me greatly enlarged state appro .na
tion hereafter to be made, It is believed that
our schools could be kept open six months in
the year and our teachers pid salaries accord
ing to their qualifications of lrom $40 to S70
per monih.
1 he remedy for obstacle No. 3 will suggest
itself. There is not a schowl director in Cam
bria county who will not see the manifest in
justice and impropiietv of the present plan. It
is hoped that they will adopt measures to ob
viate it. A fair rate of wages shonld be made
the standard for medium certificates say cer
tificates that would average from S to'2 ;
then for certificates that would average better
than this let them pay say $5 a month more,
and for those that would average worse $5 less.
In this way it would not coat a district much if
any more than by the present wav of giving
medium wages to all alike not at least nless
they should get all sood teachers, and then
they should be willing to pay a little more. In
this way they would encourage our teachers to
excellence, tbey would reward merit, and they
would do what they profess to be so desirous of
doing, fill their schools with competent and de
serving teachers.
LlonTNiNo's Dorsos. Within the recol
lection of that mythical individual, "the old
est inhabitant," we doubt whether more de
struction to property from that subtle fluid,
lightning, has occurred at any peanon than
during the present spring aud summer. We
scaicely pick up a newspaper without find
ing one or more catastrophes of this kind de
tailed in its columns. Our own county has
not escaped, aud in addition to other acci
dents of this nature already recorded we to
day give an account of the destruction by
lightning of a barn and all its contents only
a few miles from our town. In view of these
oft-recurring conflagrations it behooves every
property-holder to adopt means to guard
against loss in this way. The only sure pre
ventative is a good lightning-rod. and the
one arnoSg the many admittedly iht very best
is the Munson copper tubular lightning-rod.
with spiral dangef, now being erected tbro'
out this county by Mr. Ilichartl Jones, of
Johnstown. No man who regards his own
interests should neglect this matter, and do
one who examines the Munson rod can fail
to be convinced of its auperiority over all
others. Mr. Jos. Hoffman, whose barn was
destroyed by lightning not long since, has
contracted with Mr. Jones for putting up
these rods on his new bouse and proposed
new barn, convinced as he is that it is the
best and cheapest before the p.ublic. Every
other property-bolder should profit by his
example, Mr. Jones' address is Box 60,
Johnstown P. O. July 25 -i!m.
EornooD Days. We were forcibly and
plcasautly reminded of youth's happy hours
by seeing at the store of Mr. Huntley, a day
or two since, one of those old-fashioned reels
upon which, many a time and oft. we have
watched our . good old graudame wind and
re-wind tkto stocking yarn preparatory to
putting it up in "cuts." We were also re
minded, in looking over Mr. Huntley's im
mense stock, that no more complete, varied,
extensive and desirable assortment has ever
came under our observation, and we would
remind all buyers rf groceries, hardware,
tinware, etc, that at no place in the county
orout of it are they so likely to be suited at
the lowest prices aa with Mr. Huntley.
