press of this country as well its of Europe bear
the most iiattcrinir testimony, but of the estab

aiiythiutf we have yet read :
The variety and extent of tho Menageries nnd
Cii-eiiscs owned by Messrs. llandenbiirir i t,'t. .
nnd incorporated in t hisirraml cnravim, can. in
the most liberal sense, be called comprehen

any, while in extent they re without an equal

out the collateral attractions of a circus a
show ol trained performing animals the prand
etre tsof outside munificence and splendor
we think, in faet are satisfied, that tbev would
prove a iMjwert'ul attraction. The animals and
birds, of which there are nearly three hundred,
are all important ones very lew being" of
kinds with which the public have been long fa
miliar. There are a number which are Positive
ly near to the people of this country. Specta-

lnmnrcs of the dens, will And a variety, not a
lot of duplications. Some coticornd have a
great number of specimens we admit, almost
as many as Messrs. Handenburgh & Co. possess
but they are mostly lions, lionesses, leopards.
South American tigers (not Itengals), panthers,
wildcats, monkeys, coons, and foxes. In Messrs
Haudenburgh & Co.'s there are the white cam
els, chetah leopards, the sire, dam and colt

are exclusive variety. The ordinary stcks of
lions, leopards, camels, dromedaries, hvenns,
lamas, wolves and elephants, are also choice;
in fact none better have ever been placed on
exhibition. Having on hand such material for
allowing the public to see beasts and birds,
which are, in reality, curiosities. Handeubyrgb

the largest and best Menageries and Circuses
upon this Continent.

(formerly Altoona Park Association), will be

are the largest and most complete, and the
driving course equal to the best, in the State.
The very liberal premiums offered by the Man

prrpopiEn MiTnDEiTijr Tyrone. Last
week s iisuo of tho Tyrone llerubl lurnisbos the
following particulars of what there is strong
reason to believe was a wilful murder commit
ted in that place only a few days ao :
On Tuesday afternoon last, about 3 o'clock,
Mrs. John Mciubart, of this place, was discover
ed by Mr. S. A. Gibson, in a smoke house in her
husband's yard, suspended by her neck, dead.
Mrs. M. was lastscen on Sunday night, lor some
reason little search had been made for her. On
Monday morning, her room was entered and
Mrs. Ax. found absent, her eight month's old
baby being iu the cradle, according to evidence
ot Aliss Amanda Uiriter, playing. When dis
covered by Air. Gibson, who ia company with
several gentlemen, had been speculating upon
the whereabouts of Mrs. Meinbart, sho was
found banging with a shoemaker knee strap
about her neck, with one end similarly adjust
ed to a stick a few inchesabovft her head, about
a broom bundle. Tbo heel ol one foot was rest
ing upon a stick. The clasp on tho door to the
smoko house, was well on the staple, Bomethln'r
unusual and diibcult to accomplish. ( kro
ner's Jury was summoned consisting of Messrs
Caleb Hurley a. A .LAinith. Amoroso A..H., E
J.rruner, Col. P,ti5t'rt Gulbraith aud Charles
Au;.,fw3.
At 3 o'clock, p. m., the Jury rendered the
following verdict;
That Joanna Meinhart eameto her denth by
strangulation at tbo bands of some unknown
persons.
Thursday, about noon, John Meinhart went
before Samuel Jones, Esq., and gave himself
up, whereupon the Justice committed him to
prison. Miss Ginter was arrested last evening
Thursday as an accessory, and was conveyed
to Ilollidaysburg. The case has caused much
excitement, but we refrain from remarks,
trusting all good citizens will do the saiuc that
tbo law may take ita bourse.

far more to the SupoTintcndent than an ansver
to the hnr. The one elucidates a 11 Yu-i,,lc Z
other merely gives a rule. The tocher pets a
a common denominator in order to get nil the
tractions to be added changed 10 a unit valut lot
the s,.,r odcr, without changing the vahie of
the f ractions. One cannot add one-half, one
thud and one-fourth together any more than
be can add one hpi xe. one cow and one man to
gether. And an intelligent answer to the eues
tion vim 1 worth much more to the examiner
than an answer to tho question tiov The Su -penntendant
can judge better of the qualifica
tions of the appl.cant, as regards bis general
kuowlougo of the science of arithmetic, and the
teacher who can exobiin tliij .;.. ,-.n ..u;i.:.
!s ability to impwl instruct ion to others mm
weii as to comprehend tho principle himself.
Not long since we saw a teacher at an examina
tion trying to solve a problem in addition of
1 radons oy fan,'f(ii,m. He was not ft young
teacher eit her, and when we tipped hi" elbow
and told him that couldn't be done, he insisted
that it could, and was not convinced till I men
1 1 .tied (wiim'i! df.nniniiuttum, when he took tho
"V1 ' w tnis p:ither understood the mien for
adding fractions and for cancellation both, but
he did not seem to understand tbe jyrinrini,
ow we any to teachers, do not burden the
mind with manyart and (hftnitum. but think
mveh about consi-a nnd princi),!,. Throw the
text-books away, except for occasional refer
ence, and study a iriven branch just. 4 if vou
were going to mnke a book yourself. You can
nt this way prepare for an examination at the
Mon as well as in the xtudw. You can study
out cause arid effect at your daily avocations
just as well as anywhere else. Going to a Nor
mal School may help, but studying hard at
borne is worth moro than normal instruction
It any teacher answers these three questions
in Geography, the Superintendant can soon
tell whether or not ho understands it nnd can
1 C4 . 1 1 1 1
1 Can you account for the genial climate of
Great Ihitain, that has so high a latitude?
can you ten wny there is little
in a portion of Peru ?
or no ra:r.
J. t an you tell how long n da v is hi r0 degrees
north latitude when it is fourteen hour long
in 40 degrees north latitude?
A thousand answersin local geography would
not be as satisfac tory as these three well an
swered. Superintendents usually ask ques
tions that have jx.it in them. Our Superin
tendant most certainly docs. We have exam
ined and been examined by a dozen of County
Superintendants, and never failed yet, and yet
we never prepared for examination by ran
sacking books. We just put the mind to think
ing. That was all.
A teachor who can afc sight diagram anah-ze
and parse the following sentence correctly is
capabloof teaching grammar: "To do good
and to communicate, lcrget not." So also is
that person competent to teach arithmetic who
can tell all the distinctions between common
and tlecmml fractions.
teachers examine and investigate WTiirncx

thy is always with teachers, and if we have
succeeded in giving a useful hint our purpose
is accomplished. Wo consider th questions
asked by our Superintendant to bo perfectly
fair, and a little attention to first principles
will crown the labors of every applicant with
success.
When a law student Is examined, he is not
examined to see how much he knows, but how
well be knows, and he is not. examined on tho
statutes of Pennsylvania, but on elementary
law. So theteachorshouldnotbeexauiinedoii
text-book questions so much as on the elemeuts
and principles of science. Hon Item
A Jew of '-Observer's'' Observation.
Sin. Freeman It was my wont in davs gone
ly to indu Igo in politicutspeculations in the col
umns of tho AKryhaniaii, but as that sprightly
littio paper is now among the things that were,
and a hybrid concern, half New York ami half
"On tho Wing," has risen from its ashes, I have
concluded to "change the venue," and hencc
lorth will contribute my mite to your columns.
Aud just here let me give it as my opinion that
the ltadical party.and the clever fellowsgener
nlly, have lost a good ed. and got. a very weak
Ed. (or head) by the joumali-tic change noted
above. Todd was racy ; Ed. is nothing, and
very little of that. The productions on the in
side of the hitter's paper are as thin and wishv
washy as the New York quack medicines adver
tised on the outside.
The Hep. ticket, it mav not be out of order to
remark. Is not very satisfactory, and tlie nomi
tion for President Judge, just made, is the bit
terest pill in tbe whole dose. M. It. Wagner.
Esq., a good man, would have been nominated
for the I'srislature had he not been suspected
of tto much friendship for llaiker. Uowman,
on the other hand, was suspected of being for
Grant. So a dwji rcrul member siurgcttod t.'te
name-of Sam. Henry, (he hud so-n Sam.) and
pronounced him Mxtre fitting. The posish of
Alick Sander was that if Hose'8 bark should run
against a ... nfc it would Ik-wrecked. ISesidcs,
the Hems, had a Lloyd on for Judge, and Loj.f
A- Go. in the field on the other side would spoil
the prestijjeof tho natno. Wujrnor and How
rnan, or their friends for them, earnestly pro
tested against this; but it was answered that
tho riirht of protest was in the bank ohlv, and
Sam Henry had it. Thus rhexkni, thev felt their
cause was at a 'HmcoviI, but stood t.hb thave "as
well as could be expected"; however as old
Trezulney said, f hey felt "a little soro."
The balance of tho ten pins were set up with
out any serious trouble almost as easy indeed
as they will be bowled down again by tho De
mocracy next October. They are air mere
make-weights for S. H., and are only a kiud ef
Ilaxtcr's shove for him.
Capt. Win. K. Hughes, who signalized himself
during the late, unpleasantness, aud is under
stood to have participated in tho capture of the
Mimit.nr, and who sought tho empty honor of
being nominated for Prothonotary, was rudely
thrust aside, and a man who declim'd to 00 a
candidate was forced to accept tho situation.
ltut my sheet is full. Next week I shall refer
to a stupid "On the Wing" production -in tho
Herakl. and demonstrate that it ia, with all its
uucleannoss and stupidity, an "itsue" of Sum's
bank. ObSekvkr.
Tiik success of the Central Insurance Com
pany of Altoona, as shown by the Company's
Statement for July 1st, proves that skill and
ability are the prominent elements of success
in the insurance business. The Centra!, andor
tho efficient management of Messrs. Krr &
Co., is already regarded aa one of tho safest,
and, therefore, one of the very best companies
doing business in 3'ennsvivania. We can con
fidently recommend the Central to those of our
readers who may desire insurances 011 their
properties. Besides being as eafe hs any other
company, the people of this county have tho
chance of knowing, or at least learning tho per
sonal standing of the directors, which ought to
have a great oral to do with deciding in what
company to insure.

My Dear Henry I too have beent tho Falls
of Niagara: and as the C7,ap-(beg pardon l)-man
ri!L ? N iagara for you and the Herald isuot
always to the point, I think I shall be able to
Ujpe with him or any other M. A. In the matter
of description.
The Falls tire eligibly situated in a wild," ro
mantic neighborhood. They are bounded on
the east by Canada, on the west by the United
states, on the north by the Niagara river, and
011 the south by more Niagara iver. The tall
is liA feet high If you look iroin below, or 164
ieet low if you look from above, or 328 feet if
'; look both ways at once.
"'his .great natural curiosity hnstwo peculiar.
lties. One of these is that it has never been
known to freeze over, and hence the people
thereabouts are compelled to fall beck on other
localities tor their iee. Another strange fea
ture is, that while the water under tbe falls ih a
tit'iluw caldron," itcomcsout below as "cool as
a encumber.
There are good hotels at the Falis. The Inter
nal 101ml and the Cataract, opposite the fall on
the American side; the Cliftou, on the English
Hde; tbo Monteagle, opposite tho Suspcasfou
lindge, nnd several smaller houses in the vil
lage or Niagara, are all excellent In their wav
which is a great way from here. The Spencer
House, where Chapman and Cope domiciled, is
also a first class hotel, and furnishes whisky at
Only 15 cents a drink, which accounts, etc.
i didn t follow Dickens' steps, nor do as he
did. nor did I care what the ofekens he did even
English writers belittleall that is American and
exaggerate all that is English, nnd as a conse
quence there is considerable etf the suds nnd
foam c.f the falls in Dickens' quoted descrip
tion. Goldsmith, after describing the falls,
concludes by saying that "Indians in their ca
noes have bassed over in safety." Now, every
visitor to Niagara knows that no canoo ever
nuilt a t Canoe Place, or any other place, passing
over these falls, would leave enough lumber to-
gc'tner to make a respectable Inciter.
Give- me rather tho description of K hi vara
r ails that Cooper puts into the mouth c.f Lca
thcrstocking when ho speaks of "Nat or' as we
have it up hereaway," and asks Mabel to 'Vazo
on ail that God has done here."
Father Hennepin, a French missionary priest
discovered these Falls in lt;7B. and has tlie honor
thereto attached ; but if he had failed to make
the discovery, the re is 110 qtiestiou nt all in uiy
mind but what they would have been found ere
this, as there is quite an intelligent and enter
prising population in that "neck o' timber."
There is quite a village on the American side
of the Falls, hut on the English side there is on! v
one Street, and that Is Sir Thomas Stre-ct of the
1 rovincial Parliament. Tbe bouse he occupies
is on the bloff nearly opposite the Falls, and
was once occupied by Sam'l Zimmerman, from
"tins neighborhood, t-ho great Oinatiian Kail
ltoad King, who was killed at the celebration of
the completion of his own work, the Grand
Trunk Kail ltoad. Hy the way, I should have
traveled by that road, only for one thing I had
no Grand Trunk.
Tho celebrated "Burning Spring" is near tbe
Street mansion, on the Iwufc of tho river above
theFallSi It Is a spring on the surface of the
ground from which a gas issues that burns like
a e-andio when tire is communicated to it.
A few miles distant in Canada is St. Catha
rine s, greatly celebrated for ils taths for the 1
cure ot various diseases. It is a popular resort
for invalids.
Lundy's Lano Is not. at Niagara, but some
three miles from the Palls ou tbe Canada side.
I visited tiie monument.
The Suspension Bridge, one mile below the !
Fal.s. was constructed by the celebrated
Holding, a German bridge-builder the samo
gentleman who first suggested and carried out j
J be idea of wire ropes, which ropes subsequent
ly supplanted hempen ones on the Old Portage
Hail Koad.
The Devil's Whirlpool, four miles down the
river from Niagara- is only inferior to the Falls
in spectacular graudour. But 1 haven't time
to describe it now. IUacshaxe.
Letter fre.it Nebraska,
, . North TXattk, Nfcn., Aug. 0, 1S71.
Dear Mac naving arrived hereabout three
weeks ago and succeeded in locating mvself, I
have concluded to write and give you some
idea of where 1 lim and what manner of country
this is. The town of North Platte is 2110 miles
from Omaha and is the county seat of Lincoln
county. It is very beautifully located on a
slightly elevated plateau between the North
and South Platte rivers, and is being rapidly
built up with beat and tasty dwellings and sub
stantial businesi houses. The town possesses
many valuable and important advantages, nnd
has a population of about 800 which is rapidly
mi-n-iu-ing. j acre is now in operation notels,
clothing, jewelry, hardware, drug, book, furni
ture and grocery stores. There is one newspa
per published hert, tho "Lincoln County Ad
vertiser." Churches and free schools are being
built and supported with great liberality. The
Union I'aeillc Rail Road Company have exten
sive shops here, a roundhouse, blacksmith, ma
chine and repair shops, and a hotel, the latter
costing 40.000. The valley between tho two
rivers at this point is about four and a half
miles wide, nnd every foot of it is susceptible of
the highest degree of cultivation. Good water
can be had by digging from lifteen to twenty
feet, and bj taking the water out of either of
the rivers, an irrigating canal that would sup
ply the entire valley could be built at compar
atively litt le cost. This has Ik-oh and will al
ways contlniio to be an important shipping
point for Texas cattle oh tbe line cf the road,
and extensive cuttle yards and ah u tea have
been biiilt by the Company for this purpose.
Tlie town ef North Platte is and will continue
tlie most important point in Western Nebras
ka. Itisl.4s miles east of Sacramento. Its
elevation above the sea is 2;7t! feet.
Lincoln county is the largest and promises to
become one of tho wealthiest, if not the health
iest county in Nebraska. It is exceedingly well
adapted to stock raising. There arc many other
llourishirisr towns on the linn of U. P. It. H.,
among which is the town of Grand Islandj the
county seat of Hall county, which takes its
name from G rand Island iu tho Platte river.
It is l.V) miles we-st of the Missouri rive-r and is
tbo point of the- junction of the Midland Paciric
Railroad from Nebraska City via. Lincoln, the
capital of tiic State. This road is now under
contract and the cars will bo running into tbe
to'.vn by the Inst of this or beginning of next
year. Grand Inland hna a population "of nearly
1,1km which is constantly being augmented by
emigration.
The seasons in this country are not subjected
to 'very great' extremes of bout or cold. The
summers are usually very Warm, but the win
ters are said to bu exceedingly mild, and wag
ons are used exclusively for hauling, sleds be
ing unknown here. Spring opens e'arly. All
small grains are sown in March, and corn is
planted in April or early in May. Cattlo get
their living en the ranges from the middlo of
April until the first of December and the phrase
"spring poor" for cattle is almost unknown iu
this region.
The old fear of lack of rain in the "Great
American Desert" has been utterly exploded;
Whether or not it istriie, cs tho Indians say,
that the white man brings rains, or whether or
not tho running of tho railroad trains across
thecontlnicnt has broken up old electrical and
climatic influences, certain it is that there has
been an abundance of rain, end a good distri
bution of it as to time, in this country during
tlie past four ye-nrs, or since permanent settle
ment em any scale has been commenced.
Nebraska is almost exclusive ly a prairie State
and has no dense forests or great bodies of tim
ber requiring the toil of a life-tiino to rcmove:in
order to open up a farm.
