Mr. Wm. A. Jones, of this place, ha
j gone to Leechville, N. C, to take charge
of a store and other business interests of a
i gentleman from Centre county, this State,
by whom he has been employed. Mr. J. is
a first class clerk and a most worthy gen
tleman socially, and his many friends
lieie unite in wishing him abundance of
good luck iu the old Tar Tree State. So
rr.ote it be.
We were glad to welcome once moro
to our sanctum our young friend Ceo. A.
Kerry, Esq.. at one time a practising at
torney in this place, but now a resident of
Grand Itapid, Mich., who is at present on
a visit to his many friends here. He looks
well, feels well, and is well, nhvsicallr. but
. that he will be better by half in another par
ticular before he leaves us we would not
! be at all surprised to hear, although of
course wo don't know anything about it
. ourself personally.
I Some nnhung scoundrels not only stole
, about a hundred bushels of corn from the
, barn of a man named Ilelsel, in Alleghe
ny township, on the night before Christ-
mas, but alpo cut the mouth of a valuable
horse in a brutal manner and then, it is
supposed, administered arsenic to the an
, imal, from the effects of which it died soon
1 after. Such hellish diabolism would dis-
' crace the inmates of Pandemonium itself,
j We hope the villians may be captured and
I punished to the full extent, of the law.
j The Johnstown District Court, which
i is in session this week, has for the most
part been occupied in the trial of simple
j assault and battery cases, tho only excep-
lions thus far that we have noticed being
the conviction of Wm. H. Gore for sednc
I tion and fornication and bastardy, Miss
l Amelia Rinebolt prosecutrix, and the trial
I of John Gore and Henry Updegrave for
the larceny of four bottles of wine from the
saloon of John D. Baikley, the verdict in
which case we have not yet learned. Eli
sha Dixon, charged with ra", had not at
latest accounts been put on his trial.
On Saturday night last some miscreant
placed several pieces of metal and a num
ber of cross-ties on the Pennsylvania rail
road, between Crcsson and Gallitzin, with
the evident design of throwing the Fast
Line east from the track. Fortunately
the obstuction was placed in a straight
line of track, and was observed by the en
gineer in time to check the train, when it
was soon removed. No punishment could
be too severe for fiends who would thus
endanger the lives of many persons to glut
a feeling of rcnge fr some fancied in
jury from thc-couipany or an employe.
Through the courtesy of Itev. J. W.
Ed ie, we were favored on Wednesday last
with the first peep at a beautiful silver
"Communion Set," five pieces in all, which
has just boen presented to the Presbyte
rian church in this place by that prince of
clever gentiemen, George W. Mullin, Esq.,
of the St. Cloud Hotel, Philadelphia, and
Mountain House, Crcsson. We never saw
anything more chaste or elegant, and wo
are sure that nothing more appropriate for
the purpose could have been selected. The
generous donor is certainly deserving and
no doubt will receive the hearty thanks of
the congregation he has so handsomely re
membered. The neatest thing by far in its way
that we have yet seen is the beautiful iron
fence which encloses the burial lot owned
by Wm. Kittell, Esq., in the Catholic cem
etery in this place. This fence was erect
ed by Messr. J. & II. A. Shoemaker, of
tho Ebensbnrg Foundry, who have the ex
clusive light iu this county, as well as in
Somerset, Westmoreland ?nd Allegheny
counties, to manufacture it, having pur
chased saki rights from Mr. Gearhart. the
patentee. We can conceive of nothing
uioro desirable for enclosing porticos, front
yards, cemetery lots, etc., and those who
contemnlate improvements of that kind
should not fail to examine this elegant and
substantial rustic fence,
i Whether the information was vouch
j safed by a spiritual medium or the no less
! chimerical revelationsof a dream, orwheth
' er based on what was believed to be relia
ble information, wc are not prepared to say,
but certain it is that two of our citizens be
came impressed not long since with tho
idea that at a certain spot in North Caro
line a box full of gold coin could bo had
for the digging. Acting, therefore, on that
belief, they visited the place, employed a
few negroes to make the necessary excava
tion, kept their courage up to the sticking
point for a. day and a half, and then sor
rowfully concluded that there either never
had been any gold buried there or else that
some more cunning men had occupied the
field before them. So no gold and fewer
greenbacks Is the sum total of tho expedi
tion. The purviving members of Co. D, "d
Vs.. Vols., who served in the Mexican war,
or at least a portion of them, held a re
union at the Hlair House, in this place, on
Friday evening last. The meeting was
presided over by Capt. James Murray,
with Messrs. Daniel (). Evans and Evan
D. Evans as Vice Piesidents and Messrs.
J. D. Parrish and Wm. Mills as Secreta
ries. Brief addresses were delivered by
tho President of the meeting and by Maj.
It. J. Crozier, of Aitoona, after which the
latter gentleman and John A. Blair, Esq.,
of this place, were chosen delegates to rep
resent Co. D in the grand reunion of Mex
ican soldiers to bo held in Washington
City on Thursday of next week. In the
evening the entire party sat down to an
elegant supper prepared by that most ac
complished of landladies, Mrs. Blair, and
it is needless to say that they did ample
justice to tho bountiful feast. Not the
least noteworthy incident of the reunion
was the fact that it was hold on the twen
ty-seventh anniversary of the departure
from this place of Co. I) (otherw ise known
as the "Cambria Guards") for the scene of

I THE COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM.
j SKCONIAl'KR.
To the Editor of the Cambria Frcemon '.
j Dear Sir In my last communication I
spoke of the difference between true educa
tion and the instruction which the Common
School system intended to impart. Allow
me to enlarge somewhat on this jxunt in or
der that the whole issue between us ami its
upholders may be brought into clearer light.
Tim end of education is to drvw out the va
rious faculties of the human mind, moral as
well as intellectual, so as to render tliem
subservient to the purpose for which they
have been implanted by the Creator. This
purpose is to advance God's glory aDd pro
mote the greater good and happiness of His
creatures. The mere acquisition of knowl
edge" is, then, but a secondary matter a
means to the chief end. If then you exclude
religion from instruction you deprive the
latter of that which is its ''principal, its sole
object ; you make it meaningless, aimless,
characterless. We hold that the end of all
education must be to make us good Christ
ians, and being sure that good Christians
will be good citizens, the well being of our
nation will thus tie best secured. To teach
children that it is wrong to steal, that idle
ness leads to crime and crime to the gallows,
that intemperance is mischievous in its ef
fects upon health, character and domestic
comfort, is all very well, but this does not
reach the root of the evil. Down deeper be
neath the surface is th evil that ia to be
touched and cured, and such feeble efforts
cannot iro beneath th surface. Moralitr
does not consist merely in telling what is
evil, aud in showing its evil consequences;
religion is not merely a barrier thrown
around the soul to keep it from evil doing.
A man will not lie a good citizen merely lie
cause lie does not lie, or steal, or drink to
excess; much less will he be a good Christian.
Mere external decency, and this ii all that
ths above instruction can secure, and even
this but rnrely, is not morality, is not reli
gion. To have good men and good women,
children mast 1- taught to know right from
wrong, to be diffident of themselves, to feel
their'own weakness and sinfulness, and to
lie impressed with the necessity they are
under of seeking help from God through the
appointed means, and to be trained in th
proper use of thene divinely appointed chan
nels of grace. To talk about the dignitv of
our nature and the inalienable rights of men
and women will not elevate humanity, but,
when religion is excluded, will lead to tho
formation of a generation wholly given to
feverish activity, excitement, sensation
will everywhere spread an uneasiness, rest
lessness, ambitious striving, and discontent,
such as we see daily growing amongst us
and furnishing the ready material out of
which are made the Socialism, Communism
and Internationalism which threaten to des
troy the coming generation.
"There is the home, the Sabbath school,
the pulpit." This is a false, an idie, a cruel
answer. It is fale, because 'he school ig
the place set apart for the training of the
child. Training in what? The least impor
tant, the merely secondary, often unnecessa
ry, knowledge? Why, then, have schools?
We want good citizen, we want intelligent
citizens. Very well. lint do we want, in
telligent citizens more than good citizens,
or are we to believe that intelligence and
virtue are either inseperable or identical?
I f they are neithr inseperable nor identical,
and the State aims at securing good citizens,
why does it merely provide for intelligence
and leave virtue to the option of the parents?
If religion, morality, virtus, be of primary
importance, and training therein may be
safely intrusted to the parents, one would
suppose that these ought to be trusted also
in that which is merely secondary and sul
sidiary. The State, underour syitem, blind
ly ignores that, which is essential to the
moral training of future citizens And turns its
whole attention to an enforced imparting of
intelligence which, without religion, only
renders a man more powerful for evil. If
the State has the right to provide for the
training of youth, it must have equally the
right to provide all the means, and the chief
one in particular, that compass that end. If
the training it has in view be to make good
citizens, it is bound by it own principles to
apply that only and sure means for the
moral improvement of man, religion.
It is idle and cruel to talk of relegating
this essential elementary good to the lire
side. We all know what this practically
amount to iu the majority of cases. The
greatest number of parents are poor. They
hare not been blessed with many opportu
nities of learning. Their religious knowl
edge in many cases is little more extensive
than their secular knowledge. They know
enough to get along. They would not feel
themselves competent to teach their chil
dreu even the rudiments of primary educa
tion. How could they teach religion? Or
is religious knowledge to be merely rudi
mentary and secular knowledge more devel
oped? "Again, had they the knowledge,
have they time? Most of our people have
to work hard to support themselves aud
families. From dawn to sunset, and even
later, they must toil. Meantime, whilst the
father is so tasked, his wife has her weaker
system burdened with household cares and
the thousand little requirements of a grow
ing family. The wife and mother is the
head and servant of the family during most
of the twenty-four hours. When is she to
teach, train, shape and fashion the charac
ters, hearts, consciences and minds of her
children? Shall she attend to this while
washing, cooking, scrubbing, repairing? or
mnt she do it alter the day's weary round
of duties is completed ? She does her best,
we will cheerfully, proudly admit, but that
best is very little compared with what ought
to be done. Add to this the fact that this
poor mother, broken with cares, wearied by
work, suffering from poverty, often fainting
from sickness and exhaustion, resulting from
overwork, is expected to do what her wealthy
sister, surrounded by servants, possessed of
leisure, enjoying ease and comfort, highly
accomplished and thoroughly educated, feels
herself unequal to! The. wealthy and the ed
ucated send their children to colleges, acad
emies, select schools, in order to avoid edu
cating their own children themselves. They
feel iheir own incompetency, and reason
rightly that they will best t-a h who make
teaching their specialty. What these rich
people shrink from as" beyond their ease,
comfort, and. capacity, the toil-worn, tarn
broken poor must put up with. It is cruel,
because it is adding insult to injury, and
forcing him to submit to neglecting his most
important duty to his children, to train them
up in the fear and knowledge of God. Now,
this is thn poor man's country as well as the
rich man's; his interests and happiness are
as sacred as those of his wealthy nuighlior;
his children are as hox ful citizens as the
other's. Whv, then, make him bear a bur
den far hevond his strength? Why force
him to gather straw as well as make the
bricks? , '
This Christian education must, then, be
looked for elsewhere than in the home. The
Sabbath school is not always available, is of
but verv short duration, ami at intervals too
far apart to le considered a feature of reli
gious education adequate to the demands
that would be made on it under rne circum
ctaTirfl A,
THE OTI1ER SIDE AGAIN.
a teaciii:k's views.
To the Editor of the Camhria Freeman :
Deak Sik The public schools, I see, have
again len assailed, and from another point.
The friend of our schools, it seem, would
first make them odious iu the sight of the
public, if possible ; but that is easier tried
than done, for there are too many sensible
people in the country.
Some one has said that the public schools
are irreligious, immoral, heathenish, etc.
Now how can that lie when the teachers, the
pupils and the patrons are all moral? Again,
all the school books are moral in their ten
dencies There is not an immoral exercise
i-i any of them. Can any one disprove this?
Then as teachers, pupils and patrons, as
well as the text-liooks, are generally moral,
how can The schools le immoral or irreh-
11 . ,.f' n tllllKT iu fTiVl
trious? When every & & i
bow can it lie bad as a whole , '
Tarn sure that the parents and pupils of ;
Cambria county will not acknowledge im
S oia v or irreligion; neither will the teach
, i he td-lK)ks will sak for them
veT So alT the parts are moral and the
wholtf is moral. .
Now we will just, cause the good points of
the public schools to pass in review : Thev
are like the public lamps in a great city on
a dark night they throw light into the'sur
routnling gloom and keep the people from
stumbling. They also, like the lamps, drive
j back thieves, robbers, aud all huuiau pests
j generally.
I Suppose another Atilla with his Huns was
I to come, as in the days of Home, and over
i turn all that is good in the land! Our pub
I lie schools would then be swept out of exist
J ence. No more would the happy faces of
j childhood go forth in the morning to join in
j the soul-ennobling exercise of knowledge.
No! they would then remain at home to tease
j fretful mothers, quarrel among themselves,
and grow up, like weeds, without culfiva
j tion. We would return again to the foibles
and errors of onr fathers, ami place a stone
in one end of the bag to balance the corn in
; the other while carrying it to mill on the old
I mare.
I Another good point or characteristic of
the public schools is that they educate the
pnbiic and enable them to govern themselves-.
If every voter was properly educated he
could not be duped into casting a wrong bal
lot. And still another good effect of our
schools is that they giv to the mind of the
public strength, aptitmie anl material tsen
able it to enjoy living in this beautiful world.
A man may work, eat, exist, sleep and enjoy
life as an animal, but he is something more
than an animal, or else his powers UvPe him.
Would a man construct a machine with a
titudes for other operations than those he
wished it to perform? We think nor. So
it seems to be a rational conclusion that a
man should be so educated that he can look,
up through nature to nature's God.
And, lastly, what a blank this world would
be without our schools. "Why, they are one
of onr dearest institutions. " Where is the :
man who docs not look back to his school
days with emotions of tenderness and plea
sure? I am sure the people of the United
States "could not think of doing without '
them.
Those who do not like our public schools
had better let well enough alone and try to
improve what is not exactly up to the mark.

STATE NOTtMAL SCHOOLS.
To the Editor of the Cambria Freeman:
Dear Sir Somebody has been reviewing
the system of Normal Schools in our State
in the Johnstown Tribune. My only hope is
that, he may continue his criticisms until he
calls the attention of onr representative and
other memliers of the Legislature to the in
justice of the laws relating to State Normal
Schools.
With your permission I will briefly point
out a few objections to the law, ami, iu so
doing, I do not wish to be understood as cen
suring the system of normal training, nor
normal graduates.
1. The law gives a monopoly in every dis
trict to one corporation. This district is com
posed of Cambria, Indiana, Armstrong and
Westmoreland counties. Indiana county
has commenced the erection of buildings,
and when the school is once recognized no J
other school of the kind dare be established
in the district. This is manifestly wrong.
2. Each of these schools draws public
money for its support. There are twelve
districts in the State, six ot which have
schools in operation. These six schools have
already drawn S'-!84,00) from the public
treasury, while they have graduated only
forty-eight pupils iu the classical or scien
tific course. They have lieen in operation
from two to fourteen years aud this ha been
the result.
3. They graduate pupils in the primary
branches, the same as if colleges would grad
uate tbeirre.ierc or their soihnores. This
seems to me to be simply ridiculous.
4. The law exempts all their graduates
from a re-examination. Even those who
graduated in the elementary branches are
free from further examination.
f'tli. The law gives these graduates the
most prominent positions on teachers' com
mittees in every county, no matter whether
they are better qualified or not. This is an
outrage
(5. The normal professors, or some of them
at least, are a pretentious sot of men. They
profess to know more than anylmdy else.
The professor of mat hematics at the Millers
villo Normal School has been lutuseatintf
everybody by theorizing on rptetfiid decimals
and trying to assimilate them to the com
mon fraction. The last yormal Monthly has
twocolumnsand a half trying to change the
decimal system to a purelyvrefonf system,
lieadiug his iroductions reminds one of pe

Haetford. Cosx. Mrs. Mary Iavis, tho
estimable widow of Wm. 1. Davis, dee'd,
desires to express lwr profound gratitude to
John K. Roberts, Ksii., local agent of the
above Company, aud through him to the
Company itself, for the prompt manner in
which the insurance (S2,00(i) on her hus
band's life has been paid foe the lienefit of
herself and fatherless children. Consider
ing the peculiarly unfortunate manner in
which Mr. L. lost his life, this action of the
Company, which might have resorted to
protracted litigation and perhaps defeated
the claim, is worthy of all praise, and the
grateful widow feels that in justice to the
Company he should inform tho public of
its generous conduct towards her.

Dear Fkef.man News frotn all quar-1
ters is what is wished for by the editor of a j
country journal, and therefore, in order to
assist in filling your columns, I again pen a -few
lines.
Christina, the annual festival of joy and i
gladness to every Christian heart, was sneiu '
i i. ere in a respectable and becoming manner.
I feel a pride in having this to say, inasmuch j
' as some of the newspapers have lieen doing !
their utmost to establish a disgraceful char- j
; acter for our saintly-named village. In jus
, lice to our citizens generally, 1 insist here
I say that they do not deserve" the reputation 1
whichVonie newspaper reporters'.have given
i them. 1 am free to admit that King Alco- ,
hoi has been the means of leading some of,
onr lioys into trouble and spoiling the pliy- !
j siognomies of olhers while under his intiu- j
ence. To ht damning influence you can ;
safely lay all the blame if we are in anyway I
deserving of the contumely which has been !
heaped upon us. . j
j To myself personally Christmas this time
i was a day r.f sorrow rather than of joy, a '
: it brought fresh to my memory the dath of j
a sou whom I dearly loved. None enjoyed '
the pleasures of Christmas more than lie. j
Our worthy council have organized and
drafted ordinances for the preservation of
order in the new borough of CalHtzin which
I think will meet with the approbation of;
all concerned. ,
We have no Castle Tonacker, or rather I j
should now say Castle IJanmer, but we have
a Castle Hums. It has had no inmate as j
yet, however, and it is to be hoped that it .
will never have any. . j
Quite an excitement has been prevailing ',
in railroad circles on account of a reduction ;
of ten per cent, in the wages of the employ- (
ees. It is quite a mvstery to lcnow how a !
laboring innn with a large family can sup
port them on an income of only one dollar
and eight cents per day.
The Caiuplicll Brothers have complete,!
the contract of grading a side track through
the deep cut w";st of Gallitzin, and it is now
readv for the ballast. V. J. P.
