The Clearfield Raftsman' Journal says: "Our Pennsylvania lumbermen have at least some little hope for an increase in the spring trade, in the fact that there has been an advance in the freight ou Western lum ber, which went into effect on January 4th.

Ax Amendment to the Homestead ItiU An Altoona friend eiid ns the fol lowing Petition, with the reqnest that we give it a place in our column, and as it will no doubt prove of interest to some of our readers, we cheerfully accede to the wish of the gentleman from whom it- was received : All Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who served in the late War against the Rebellion are respectfnlly invited to co-operate with ns in this movement. If you approve of th following resolutions, please get'as many signatures as possible and send it to your Representative in Congress and also to the Member of Assembly aftr the introduction of the bill. For further particulars address with stamp to the Soldiers' Protective Union Herbig, Company No. 1, of College Point, L. I,. State of New York. If you cannot attend to this, please hand it to some trust worthy veteran iu your vicinity. petition. We, the subscribers, petition the Honora ble Member of Congress of the United States for an Amendment to the Homestead Bill passed in 1872, so as to allow all Soldiers, Sailor and Marines, who have nerved in the !ate War against the Rebellion, to have the right to select their laud now and have the ssme entered in their names and held for them, until they or their children are to settle pon it. An this we ask for the fol lowing reasons: 1. As the Homestead bill reads now, there is no actual lienefit for those who went at the country's call as volunteers to fight for the Uniou, but nuy foreigner with little means has the same benefit and right the day after landing on our shores as we have. I 2. Many of ns have been woumiea ana have not been able to follow our former co cupations; again the largest number after the end of the war or the expiration of their enlistments have gone to work at their trades, but have not lieen able to save money enough to tako possession of that promised land, and by the time bey shall be able to take it, those at the east will need a small fortune for traveling expenses to get where they may find Government land. 3. A great many have families of small children, who need their schooling, which we cannot give them in new settlements, and who also cannot stand the hardships of a settler's life, but if we could selcet our land now, we could form clubs and those having no trade or who are otherwise will ing to settle immediately could lie assisted by others owning their land in the neighbor, hood to settle and cultivate their own and some of their neighbors' land, and in a very few years hundreds of farms would be cul tivated and homesteads provided for those now working hard iu manufactories and un profitable trades. This would bring capital to the west, which never can reach there under the present Homostead Bill. 4. After a certain numlierof acres f such land have been cultivated, whether by him self or a lessee, the owner or his legal heirs shall have the right to sell such land; but uot befor, as we are entirely against open ing a road for speculation. 5. Those Volunteers having served threo years or more and those who have only served one year or less, by careful exainin tion we have come to the conclusoin that they should lie compensated in some way. 6. It would lie a noble act on the part of the Government, if it would pursue the same course as it does in Railroad legislation, that is, to advance money, and take mort gages on the lands, accordingly as they were taken up by actual settlers, and give them a reasonable "time to pay the amouut back into the treasury with interest. This would give us an opportnnity to take immediate pos session without any risk to the Government. In conclusion, they beg leave Uidraw the attention of the present administration to the Soldiers to settle on the homesteads, and by so dning the Government will confer a great favor upon those men who have al ways upheld and dofcud the welfare of our country. - A gay and festive youth from Pittsburgh recently made love to one of the fair daugh ters of acertaiu township in this coanty, and had progressed se far with his suit that the wedding day was not only appointed, hut had actually arrived and the wedding feast prepared, some ten turkeys being be headed and goodtbingswithout end procured for the occasion, when word came that the would-bfc bridegroom was already the hus band of a woman and the father of one or two children liviug iu Pittsburgh. This too almost at the very moment when the loving couple were about to lie made flesh of one flesh and bone of one bone, the infor mation, it is said, being conveyed by a wo man from Pittsburgh who was in quest of the truant husband in order to collect, a bill against him for furnishing board to bis wife and family. This of course nipped the wed ding in the bnd, the clergyman refusing to perform the ceremony, Nothing daunted, however, the seekers after luatiimouy re paired to another town, where they sought to have the knot tied, hut a the ugly story had preceded them, the second attempt proved as aliortive as the first, and np to present writing their nuptial vows have not liecn consummated, although it is said that the feasting and the dancing went on just the same as if a wedding bail actually taken place, and that the party of the first part is now some $2,500 lietter off thau when he en tered into the arrangement, part of that amount having been presented to the about to be but not yt happy couple as a wed ding gift by the grandfather of the expec tant bride, and the balance secured by the endorsement of notes by the father of the girl. The lucky adventurer is said to have gone to obtai.1 proof of his being a single man, but whether he will ever find it, and if so, whether he will ever return to claim bis bride, is one of thobe things which time alone cati develop. Treating theWko.no Disease. Many times wotneu call upou their family physi ciaus, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indif ferent doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pillsnnd iotions, assumi-jg them to lie such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uter ine disorder; and while they are thus only able perbafis to palliate for a time, they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the ed, but probably worse off for the delay, treatment, and other complications made, and which a proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, (hereby instituting health and comfort instead of prolonged misery.

Mn- ISnrrOR A writer In the Standard who sljrnsliimseir-Patroinis," referrinir to the sub 1ect of comnulsorv education s Introduced by the recent Institute held in Hollidnysbu. af ter irivin a passing notice of the manner in which the speakers handled the subject, which to him seemed nor very satisfactory, irives his own views in n clear, pointed manner. The writer seems to think that his own reasoning in behalf of compulsory education cannot be irainsayed. Such at least is the impression which the sharp interrogatories of "ratronus would be calculated to make. I would respect fully surest to the writer, however, not to tump too hastily t conclusions, especislly with reirard to forced education. The very word compulsory sounds rather nnrsn in me enrs i or free, independent people, who don t relish tic inir compelled to do what mlrht even be for Their own ood. It smacks a little of Imperial n Oimiiu sum sua i.hiitd ho noi soem to harmonize well. The theory of giving a free education to ine cuimrcn i m- irwm monwealth is charming, education belnir such an extraordinary blessinsr; and then the gen erosity of the State in foichw this great boon on the blind, ignornnt psrents, who know not what is good for their children and themselves. Herein the State shows its mnsrnifieent liberal ity its irrest wisdom, nnd more, than a parent's love for his offspring: But, seriously speak ing, has the State the right to take under its peculiar charge the education of the youth? I know it does it ; but where is its right to do so? Because, forsooth, a majority of the citi zens has so declared I The action of a majority is not alwavs right, especially when prejudice predominates over good sense and common Justice May not this be the case with regard to State sebiiolB? Have parents no rights, no snv so in the training of their children, neither natural or divine? (iod says to the child, "Hon or and obey your parents I" If then a parent should, for certain reasons, say to the child, "You shnll not go to school!" while, on the other band, the State or its officers ay. "(;o to school !" what sbnll the child do? Mut it obey the State and disobey its parents? Where has God given the State such an authority over n child ns that given to the parent by an express commandment? Who has the stronger claim to the child, the parent or the State? Who is more attached to and interested in the well be ing and hapoiness of the chiid, the parent or the State? It may be that some parents are so devoid of feeling and so blind to the welfare of their offspring as to culpahly neglect their pro per education, but surely the great majority are not of this callous, indifferent class. And then must the rights of the great majority be trampled upon to secure the advantage I do not say the blessings, for that i9 doubtful for the neglected ew ? In this matter of State education, if under special circumstances its expediency may be admitted, the rights of all the citizens should as far ns practicable be regarded. There should be no interference with the conscientious con vlctlonsof any portion of the people. The pro visions of the Constitution should be scrupu lously observed. Many re of the opinion that education should be divorced from religion in the school-room ; others hold that they should go hand in hnnd together. Some will haveone kind of religion taught in school : others don't want t hat kind, and so on. How will the State harmonize these conflicting views? Will it. in the supremacy oT its might, ignore all. and this with the view of promoting the good of nil. The people truly must have some reserved rights, and I know of none more sacred than that of the parent over the training of his chil dren in the manner which in his wisdom seems to him fit. Some may surrender this right for various causes, but itshould not be forced from any one who is gifted with even a moderate share of common sense and prudence. The pa rent should not be treated as it devoid of the commonest instincts of nature a vers' beast, without anv interest in its offspring. The State says to the parent, I'll take your child from you, whether you like it or not. and give it the kind of education I icish, not what i""ii may uesire or irii. Truly the State must ive a clear charter for thus acting. I have never si'!! any conclusive proofs of such a power being invested in the State. Did it not lend me too far from my present purpose, I night enter somewhat minutely into the pow ers aud duties of the State. That theme may come up again. I am now addressing myself more directly to theargumenisof "Patron us," who I admit is a close reasoner. "No man," says'-Patronus," "has any liberty to do wrong." 1 deny that proposition. I presume he means the ri'i'it to do wrong. Liberty and right are not synonomoiis terms they sre not converti ble. And again: "If a parent, using his i.cr f. does wish to educnte or not his children, does he not do what is morally wrong?" He may or may not that depends upon what kind of education he neglects to give him nnd the degree of it. Education is a very comprehen sive term. With how many good nnd virtuous men nnd women you will meet, who are enjoy ing a considerable Snare of this world's happi ness, with a fair prospect of being happy in the next world, who can scarcely either read or write. They were elucated by their parents in virtue and moral rectitude, and taught how to make an honest living by their industry in the performance of their respective duties in life. Where does the moral wrong come in iu such case, which is by no means nn isolated fine either? ratronus's" nss"i f ion is too broad. It supposes not nlone the benefl's but thealiso lute necessity of education for all, and perhaps a high order of education, which can be found only in the State schools. Hut W me for a mo ment suppose there is n moral wronj'. What then? Is the State boui.d to prevent or pun ish all moral wrong? I deny it, and w ill until the contrary is shown. "I'atroniis" makes a slight mistake when h(? "dec hires that ir the State does not punish what he call-i a inornl wrong, viz... non-eiliicnting the child, then it onght not hold him responsible or furnish him for any moral wrong. That is a fit!s- conclu sion. It is drawing a general conolii:o;i from particular premises, which sound logic will not permit. Toncglwcl to educate a child is, says "Patronns," "to surrender him to n life of in dolence, vagrancy and crime." I deny the as sertion. Like some others made by Mr. "pa tronns." it Is too vague and general. All the illiterate are not of the class descritmd. Many of them the great bulk of them are in dustrious, thrifty and pure. It is very ques tionable whether the State education is promo tive or solid industry, healthy thrirtiness. or good morality. Wre had good, industrious, mor al people before the State began to act the part of the pedagogue, although no doubt there were muiiv un lettered citizens. And now. sir. to the test. Yon may rerer me to the ioor li'iuse ns a proof of at least a part or your assertion, viz.. the poverty of its in mates. 1 do not allow, however, that nil the in mates of our poor houses are unlettered, nor that those who are so are or became poor on that account. There will always be a vast number of poor in nil nations, no matter what the facilities of education may tie. Let uj glHncear our jails and ponitenliaries. Aie their oocupnnts the illiterate? It seems to me that you wilt find crime at taching Itseir to the skirts of many a smart person in said institutions. Hence do not consider education as a pauueca for the evils voti mention. Patronus' says that -not to educate a child is to do him a wrong and to inllict an injury n the Stnte, and that therefore to protect Itself the State ought to compel the education of children." How is the State injured by an un lettered person ? ' Hut admit that he mav com mit a crime, or.'if you will, a great mans of them against the State, even because of his ig norance, certainly "Patronius" will not'deny but some highly educated persons can tie found who commit, crimes, many equally if not inure heinous than those of the ignorant person, nnd that their duration enn tiles ihem to do so, and tuat very often with impunity. Therefore. ac cording to "Patronns," education ouxht not to be allowed bv the S'ate. See. lr."P.,.tronus." to what nbsurni tics your arguments would lead when pushnd to their logical conclusions. Hetore the Stnte schools existed eduontion was pretty thorough. Wit ness our statesmen. In what docs the present generation, with all ta boasted advantages of education, exeel former ones? At the time of the Kevolmion the people on the whole were not ignorant. They had private schools, at which they gained a solid education. And who will sny that if there had been no change in the mode of education it would he as good, if not better, ihr.n inr present system? And then there was no "coinpi'lslon" used. Ily the present system of education the sa cred right of many are trnmpled upon, the claims of conscience are disregarded, and the child receives his mental pabulum at the hands of n stranger, whose interests and views may be entirely foreign to those of the cliil i and its parents. If the comhina t ion of circumstances compels the State to lend a hand in the educa tion of the children, most assuredly the rights of the citizens at large could be better cared for by tome other than the plan now in opera tion. The donoininnlion.il system, with a pro rat of the taxes, would be more just and sat isfactory. The present system is fauity in many respoc. but especially in this, that it tmpoii-s a heavy tax. This is wrong, especially when it could be avoided by the plan suggested. Compulsory education I am opposed to, be cause it is opposeJ to that liberty, which every American citiTMt .-hrishes. Methinks I hear the crack of the whip In the very sound of the word "compulsion. The memorable weirds of the immortal Patrick Henry rinr in my ears to thesweet music of the declaration, "Give me Liberty, or give me death!'' Yes, liberlv to bring up my dear offspring ns to me seems boat. Let no ofllcial of the State drag from under my very roof the child of my nffcctlon. or tho pretext of giving1 him an education of which I cannot approve. Too much legislation, espe cially when it trenches too closely on our lib erties, is calculated to bring law into disrepute. The people are not puppets, to be li-d in every ritroctin by legislative enactments. Ignorance is not actually a crime nnd therefore should not be punished either in the parent or child. And moreover, many a person has received considerable culture without the aid of schools. In theory, an educated nation presents grand ide. but yon can never reduce it to practice-, and even if you did, would the people be hnp nier nnd !etter than they are or have been ? The character nd motives of those clamoring far universal education may form the matter for another communication. In the meantime I must say that the term "compulsory, " when applied to the liberty-loving American people, I has a harsh, grating sound, nnd would seem to ! me like ignoring their sovereignty. i No agent of our people must forget that the I people arc toreman. jibkktt. ElUXA, Kansas. Jc. ft, 1875. Kditor Camhria Krxmam Permit me thro' the columns of your valuable Journal toeaya few words in regard to the performance of my duty as member of the Hoard of Poor House Directors in Cambria county nnd the compen sation I received for the same. My apology for takiog up the valuable space in 3-onr paper is this: I have lived in Cambria county some tbirtv-flve years, during which time I believe I had the reputation of being a hard-working, industrious man, nnd endeavored to earn for myself and family nn honest living: and as I removed from the Alleghenies to the plains of Kansas, I desire to say a few words on the stib- Jeet alluded to. As is pretty well known, when eutered.on my official duties ns Director, the state of affairs nnd the general taking rare of the paupers at the poor house by the steward then in clwrge was auything but what It should have been, aud I think I need not particularize anything as regards that. I believe any one who had occasion to visit the place then wlli fnly agree with me on that pomt. if the then Directors saw fit to make a change under the existing circumstances, nnd which was done in Justice to the inmates ns well ns the people who saw fit to elect ns, we think we should not be censured for our actions, although we were by some of the friends of the outgoing steward, which was of course quite natural. The matter I desire to al.'ude to specially, however, is this: As will be remembered, dur ing the small pox epidemic in Johnstown. Hen ry P. Freidhoff, Hiirgess of Concmaugh bor ough, made application for a family alUicted with the disease to have the county provide for the expense of keeping this family, when I believe at least I was so informed by Mr. Itloch. one of the Directors, that a resolution had been adopted by Conemaugh borough to take care of its own sick during that time: nnd as Mr. Bloch wasst-quainted with the circum stances, nnd was of the opinion, in which we agreed with him. that the county should not bear the expense of keeping the family alluded to, Mr. Freidhoff took offeneand n little retal iation spite work ensued. When the members of our Hoard presented their respective bills for outdoor net vices rendered, the bills were refused from time to time, until they cvenru nlly went to the Court and were approved of finally bv Judge Dean. Now the fact that the Auditors, of whom Mr. Freidhoff was one, had refused to nllow these bills. I thought might reflect on my good name, and hence this communication or explanation. 1 do not wish my Iriends in Cambria county to think that I have done any act which wo'lld reflect on my good name or reputation. ticiieve ni j ever your friend, P. H. Behq. Ai.t.EOHEMT Twp., Jan. 17, 1875. Editor Vreem I wish to ask, through the columns of your widely circulated journal, whether the rond between Loretto ami Ebons burg has been condemned. If not surely that ej e-soro. "Bradley's Bridge," should l nttend ed to. For months it has been deemed unsafe, nnd yet there have been no steps taken towards repairing it. Why is this thus? ee to it, ye County Fathers. Or is it the duty or the Town ship supervisors? In any event, it thould no longer be suffered to remain as it is a danger ous trap whereiu life may be sacriticud at any moment. C'lT. L,octil Corresjyontlcnce. ' St'SQlTEH ANN A Twp., Jan. 25, 1875. Dear Freeman My last letter having been receivcu too lute for publication, I will endea vor to be on time this week. The Toiii-th meeting of the "Teachers' Dis trict Institute of Susquehanna Township" was held at the Itearer school house onlSaturday last. Contrary to expectation, the attendance was small, only three of the teachers of the township being present, namely, Mit Claudia Litztngcr, Mr. E. Meuver an.l Jos. Fiiratieugh. Miss Li.7.ie Litzinger, teacher of Nicktown school, Mr. K. Maucher, teacher of Carroll township, as well as Kcv. A. Heubucr, of Cur rolltowu, and a number of citizens, were also pi csent. Institute was called to order by the President. The Secretary, Mr. U. W. (Jetty, being absent. Miss Ijitzinger was elected Secretary pro trim. Mr. Stuver opened a discussion on teaching Geography, lie claimed that it should be taught ir. a sysemat.c order, and presented an outline of his method hs follows: 1st. Boun daries. Sd. r.xtcnt and Div'sion. 3d. Char acter of the Surface. 4th. Internal Waters. 5th. Productions, tiili. Inhabitants. 7th. Gov ernment, Kcligion. ic. Nth. Miscellaneous Facts. He gives itns his opinion that the abuve order of topics should be pursued in tencbiiirf Geography. Jos. Farabaugh then spoke, urg ing tiio itoportuiicc of thoroughness and the drawing out of original thought by Judicious questions and ample illustration. Adjourned to meet at one o'clock . 't-;ri 'i i. - Tue Itmiiuie liav.ni be m calle 1 to order, the question "How to Teach Frac tions," was taken up and discussed by Messrs, Stuver and Ftiratmup h and! Miss Li7.10 Litziiixe The next subject taken up whs "Spelling." Jos, Farabaugh made the opening rcmalks. in the course of which he stated that teachers should adhere less to tne spelling; books than is usually done, nud pay more attention to spelling the words that occured in the rcuding exercises hnrt the words in common use The discussion was participate I in by Messrs. Mancher nnd Stuver, l!ev. A, Huebner, Miss Claudia Litzinger and Miss Lizzie Litzinger. The speakers generally ngreed with the opin ion first stated, but all di tiered somewhat as to the mode of conducting recitations; yet a I seem to agree that they should bo "written." Writing was then discussed, !he principal point of difference being whether it should be taught by presenting first the clement, or prac tically by imitation. The last topic of discussion wns'The proprie ty of giving 'recess' ill our country tchoois." Opened by John Bearer, F.si-, a director. He spoke in the neg.it ive. Key. Hui-boer spoke in hi a ii imi itike, saying that three hours nt a time is too long fur children to sit, there growing limbs needing recreation. A n u inner of the teachers alno spoke in favor of recess'' us necessary to the health and comfort of the child 1 en. On motion, the Institute adjourned to meet at the Gariuau school house oil Saturday, Feb ruary Kith. Yours, ic, A. White Twp.. Jan. 22. 1S75. Dear Fkeemax Although nothnig of an ex citing chaiaeter is in progress iu our section of mountainous county, yet ns you have not heard from us for some time, I though perhaps it would tie considered lull it slight intrusion to urge upon your columns these few lines, in tinier to let you know that we still occupy our lofty pjrch in flu 'lnnd of the living," likewise in Cambria county, O! The sleighing hereabouts is excellent, nnd affords much pleasure, esp ;ci.illy to those who are fortunate enough, "tliese hard times." to possess horse, and one of these modern con veniences termed by mankind n slcigli. Indeed 1 think theo arc placed in no unenviable posi tion. We may fee them "Hying fast" alino-t tvery hour during the day, the music of the merry bell, sonu-times accompanied by p-a s of merry laughter, issuing forth from the throats of the occupants, aud conveying more forcibly the troth of the lines of the we'l known song by Will S. Hayes: "Hip, hurrah ! hold your h r.es. Or they'll got away : .Ain't it pleasant with your sweetheart Hiding in a sleigh." The schools in our township nre nil progress ing finely, and I think both patrons nnd 011 .v t ors, nre fully satisfied with the labors of those employed to teacn the "young idea how to shoot." Mai' success ever attend them while in the disc barge ot tin- duties of so trying and responsible a position. David Hollas, one of our most rrspcted citizens, lost n valuable horse a few weeks since while engaged iii;linnl;ng logs. It appear th.tt by some 111 cans or other the niiim-tr- toot became entangled between two roots which threw I im down, nnd Tailing n.-tinst nllog, he sustained injuries which resulted in hir death. 'Tis rather a hard stroke on Mr, Hollas and he has Lie heartfelt sympathy of his numerous friends. But I forbear further, having Intruded per haps too much already ; so, with lK-st wishes for the future wellare of the Freeman, I am Yours, respectfully, Ignohamus. Wn.MonE. Jan. 21, 1874. Dear Freeman The house on tue farm of Itev. 1. Sahm, near this place, nnd occupied by Mr. Sam'i 1. Paul, was burned to the ground yesterday ,Motulnj morning nbout 3 o'clock. Mr. Paul and family were asleep when the Bre broke out, and barely got time to escape from the ho'ite, taking with them the bedding from one lied onrt 11 couple bureau drawers contain ing some articles of c'.othlng nnd dry" goods. Mrs. Paul's attention was first directed to the fire by cat which, when the Are became too hot, juinred against the door of the bedroom several times with great violence. Had it not been for this fortunate circu nstance the en tire family might have perished.
