Through the influence of a hot sun and

a sea of mini, and though this is somewhat

yet It is found infinitely preferable to tbe

On Tuesday of last week, the wife of
Joachim Noel, residing in Derrv township,
Westmoreland county, left her infant child,
nged about nine months, lying in a crib
w hile she went to another part of the honse
te attend to some domestic duties. Upon
her return, she found the crib in flames and
the child burned so hadly that it survived
only a short time. A spark from a grate is
suplosid to have caused the horror. Mrs.
Noel, before her marriasre. was a resident of
Cambria county.
I he weather prophets tell us that an
other and a very severe stretch of eoM eath

of this event, the firm of Baxter & Son,
High street, have perfected arrangements
for the supplying of our citizens with coal
of a superior quality, either bv the. car-load
or by the ton. The coal furnished bv them
is of the Itest bituminous production, and
has never failed to give satisfaction. Orders
left at the mercantile establishment of the
firm will be promptly attended to.
James Curran, of Johnstown, who has
dona more in i,is time to put. down whisky
than all the local optiou laws that were ever
enacted, took a notion on Friday last that
his head was of kio further usti to him, so he
attempted to separate it fromthe main truik,
otherwise known as bis body, by drawing
an old raz r across his throat. The blade
was dull, however, and the pressure light,
perhaps anyhow, James still 'ives and is
likely to Xeep on living for some time to

There were two of them. The name of

it -ought to be Breadth, to make eood the

Blair county, to the rear of which establish
ment they repaired the other day for the
purpose of indulging in a little target shoot
ing with a revolver. The first shot lieiran

passing through Reamer's left hand and im-
I bedding itself in one of Hare's feet, where

Father Christy's health last week, .be latest
aseurauce from himself heing that the hemor
rhages were from his stomach and other
sources less vital than the lungs, and that
he at present not only feels rejuvenated aud
disenthralled from the ills that have so long
oppressed him, but that the doctors and his
own feelings agree in the conviction tljat
the crtvis has been passed and that he will
soon be restored to his frmr robust health
and usefulness. For all which he has the
earnest prayers of bis many friends in this
vicinity.
E. W. Eisenbise, one of the oldest and
most popular passenger conductors on the
Pa. K. R., a poet of no mean pretensions
and a gentleman of tasto and culture, has
commenced the publication, at Wilkinsburg,
Pa., of a small serai-monthly journal called
the "EastEnder," at the low price of 75 cts.
per year. The two first opis of the paper
before us are replete with good things, in
cluding several of Mr. B.'s best poems, but
the get-up typographical is simply execra
ble, being evidently the work of one who has
stood on a street corner and watched the
manipulators of type metal at work iu the
third story of a "print shop" across the way
that and nothing more.
Like a clap of thunder from a cloudless
sky came the announcement on Wednesday
of the death of John J. Burns, Esq., an act
ing Justice of the Peace for St. Augustine,
Cambria connty. Only a couple of weeks
prior, be, accompanied by his estimable wife,
had visited this place, with the flush of
youthful health on his face, and the tidings
of his demise fell therefore upon us with
crnel force. lie was an able, active business
man; a good citizen, neighbor, and friend
ore whom it isa public calamity to have ta
ken away. Hjs memory, we are sure, will
long remain green with the hosts of friends
who enjoyed his acquaintanceship, while to
his bereaved family is extended unstinted
sympathy. Thedecessed was about 38 years
of age, and came to this connty from Bed

Shockiito noi.oCAUST tf"tco Children
Burntd to Death. Mr. Philip H. Jones is a
hard-working farmer, with his place of resi
dence in Blacklick township, seven miles
northwest of Etensburg. On Tnesday of
this week, he left the bosom of his family,
consisting of a wife and two children, to
engage in his'customary daily avocation of
hauling lumber to Ebensburg. During his
absence, his wife essayed the task of feed
ing the stock in and about the barn. She
placed her little ones in what she considered
a safe place, and, taking a pail of provender
i n each hand, proceeded to the barn. Upon
her return to the bouse, shortly afterward,
a torrent of flame met her as she opened the
door, and she" was Unable to enter. Power
less to combat with the tiery element, she
was compelled to retire to a distance and
witness th distrn-ion of the buib,!" r. Th"
building contain d not suly the pro eeds of
many years of patient toil, bat alas! the
bodies of the two little ones. They were
burned to ashes ono, a boy three years old,
and the other, a girl of two years. To offer
sympathv t the parents in a caUmity of
this sort were of course useless. Words
turn to air when applied as a balm to a.
broken heart. But the eye of contemplation
can turn back the pages one by one and
find no more darker page in the record of
time than this wholesale destruction of a
household and its gods. The theory of the
origin of the fire is that, after tbe mother
had gone to the barn, one of tLe children by
some mians obtained possession of a bit of
inflammable material and lit it at the stove,
and thus communicated the flames to the
floor and surroundings. The fire must hare
spread very rapidly, for Mrs. J. was absent
from the house scarce ten minntes ere her
return from ihe barn. She ran for help so
soon as her tottering steps tvonld obey her
will, but the help came too late! Mr. Jones,
as before stated, is an honest, industrious
farmer, and was a gallant soUlierduring the
war, while his wife is a model women. Both
have the sympar-hy of the entire community
in the great affliction that has befallen them.

BtDoO bliss ABES. Tba blood being tbe
source from which our systems are built np
fcnd from which we derive our mental as
well as physical capabilities, how important
that it should be kept pure. If it contains
vile festering poisons, all organic functions
are weakened thereby. Settling upon im
portant organs, as the lungs, liver or kid
neys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence
it behooves every one to keep tlieir blood in
a perfectlvJiealthy condition, aud more es
pecially does this apply at this particular
seascn of the year than at any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of a large proportion of all dis
eases is bad blood. Now Dr. Pierce does
hot wish to place hia Golden Medical Dis
covery in tbe catalogue of quack patant
nostrums by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor does he so recommend i; on the
contrary there are hundreds of diseases that
he acknowledges it will not care; but what
he does rlaim is this, that there ia but cue
form of blood disease that it will net cure,
and that disease Is canbef. He does not rec
ommend his Discovery for that diseases yet
ne Knows llio oe me mus rx-nn mug wiuuu
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free i
the blood aud system of all other kuown
blood poisons, le they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Discovery is toarratied
by him to enre the worst forms of skin dis
eases, as all forms of blotches, pimples and
eruptions, also all glandular swellings, and
the worst form of scrofulous and ulcerated
sores of neck, legs or other parts, and all
scrofulous diseases of tbe bones, as white
Swellings, fever Sores, hip joint and spinal
diseases, all of which belonga to tcrofulons

The following bill for the prevention of
horses, cattle, sheep or swine running at
large in tbe various townships of the com
monwealth, has been introduced into the
Senate. If it shonld become a law, we do
not believe, speaking only of this connty,
that a single' township would accept it pro
visions: Section 1. Be If enacted Stc. Thst no horses,
cattle, sheep or swine shul 1 be suffered to ruit

-A wayfaring feminine called at the res
idence of Mr. John Cain, in Minister town
ship, not long since, and promised to make
herself generally useful about tbe honse if
permission was granted her to remain for a
short time. Her request was accedd to
and everything went well until a few days
Ago, whenMr. C. and wife had occasion to
visit a tie'ighlor, leaving this wayfaring
feminine in charge of tbe household. The
balance of the story need scarcely be told.
Suffice it to say that the wayfaring femiuine
took occasion lo "light out" dnriug the ab
sence of her benefactors, and as Mrs. C.'s
wedding dress and several other articles of
value are Among the things that were hut
are not nowin that tlomicil, they very quick
ly put that and that together .1 rid wisely con
cluded that they had not been entertaining
an angel unawares. At last accounts Mr.
C. was making an effort to overhaul the
dishonest domestic, but with what success
we kuow not.
We have received a copy of the San
Francisco Daily Post of the 16th itist., which
contains a notice of the death of Mr. P. J.
Forrester, father of our friend aud most lib
eral patron, Mr. P. A. Forrester, of Cam
bria, San Lnis Obispo county, California.
The deceased gentleman, who was born in
Londonderry, Ireland, in 1892, and conse
quently was 84 years of age at the time of
his death, is said to have never been under
the influence of intoxicating liquors nor
never uttered a profane word in his life.
He went to California in 174, having pre
viously been a resident of Philadelphia,
where he held several offices of trust and
profit, at all times enjoying that confidence
and esteem which ever attaches to the name
of an honest man. He also many years ago
resided near Loretto, this county, as not a
few of our older citizens will well remember.
He has died full of years and full of honors,
and we trust that his soul has found eternal
rest.
Stxaxgk, but True. It ia natnral for
people suffering with Cono.nmpt.ion. Coughs,
Severe Colds, or any other disease of the
Throat and Lnngs, to pnt off from day to
day buying an article that the5 know has

they have no faith in it. until it is too late.
If you will go to your Drnggists and get a

, Ma. Editor When the State undertakes the
important function of promoting theed-'ca
tion of the people, all it should do Is to place
within their reach the opportunities or educa
tion. It should not attempt any coercive meas
ures, but leave the people to their own free
will as to wLether they will or will not avail
themselves of the means afforded. And this
should be particularly the esse when there are
conscientious reasons for objecting to ihe kind
of education proposed. The rights of conscience
are sacred and are rightly guaranteed by our
charter of liberty. It is not an easy matter to
say whether our common school education Is
entirely intellectual, or of a mixed nature, viz.,
partly religious. The theory seems to be to
sepei ia'e all religious influenc e! rom school train
ing, but toe practice in iimuj M-minifs is to mix
up a little religion (the rending of the bible)
with secular instruction. In either case this
system of education is opposed to the reli
gious convictions of many so much so that
r ii rents who would send their children to such
stitutions would be running the risk of hav
ing their children educated at tbe expense of
Inuinv lh1r OOUlS.
When it is understood that the parties who
look noon common school education as unfit
for then, consider the. nectUti o religion
their religion as an necessary adjunct to a sec
ular training it then becom .-a evident that
they Cannot patronize those schools from which
religion is excluded, or what they regard as a
false religion is inculcated. So long, therefore,
as the State does not coerce children of thoe
fiarties to go to common schools, It fails chiefly
n a matter of equity, viz., by imposing taxes
for Which no value is or can be received by a
t-ast number. This should not be so unier our
government, and it is fondly hoped that ere
long our law-makers tr 111 remedy this great in
justice. We are confident that it will be so ul
tiiaatrly. Totheenrreotlngor this great wrong,
and not to the ptetration of argreater one,
should our legislatures be encouraged. But,
instead thereof, we hear a loud yell from big
ots and interested parties demanding "compul
sory education." - - .""'.""
The law of coercion would be opposed to tbe
spirit of the Constitution, to tbe geiiltta of otlr
people, who are freoinen and sot aerra. It
would be opposed to parental rights and justice.
The parent is the natural guardian of hischil
dreu to bim Ood has entrusted their care. It
is his duty and privilege to traiu them, and to
do if as to him seems best. When the State in
terferes eocrcivetv it attempts to change this
order of things. How, I ask. would those coin
pulaory chairipions feel should any authority
undertake to deprive him of the educational
control of his children ? Let tbeStste, for in
stance, take his child and place it in a school to
which the parent is opposed on mahy grounds,
and how will he like it?. Will he hot feel that
his parental rifci.ts are invaded? Up to that
time he fondly imagined that tbechild was bis,
but oon finds out his mistake Whetl a State
instinctively .? tlJe 5ontt.pJ,:,-,,?,,iK
such a repulsive plG.-'ref And yet this Is the
pet scheme for the suec-a of wu1' ener
gies of many are now stn,.ncd. Nature and
the God of nature tell the ci..U to obey his
parents. Such an authority nugn. to be re
spected. The subversion ot so great lu nithor
itv may te productive ot very dire and oss
terous consequences It is not well to meddle
with the law of nature or the Divine appoint
ment. Tlio-ie who do so will accomplish no
good," and may do a great deal of mischief. I
do hope that this natural instinct of parental
guardianship is too".ceply rooted in the breasts
of our good people, and their love of freedom
for themselves and their offspring too intense
to permit them to give any countenance to this
unnatural and unjust law of coercion . I char
acterize the law as unjust. It prevents the pa
rent from receiving Ihe fruit of the labor of
the child during a considerable portion ol his
tim. Itors and a-irls too. are lit to do many
t kinds or labor from the age of twelve to 6ix-
teen years and by their earnings my bring to
( their families much needed assistance. There
I are manv employments at which a boy of the
' ago mentioned may earn a dollar a day, and the
j i istances are bv no means tinfr.-quent where
the chief supfatrtor the family deoentli upon
such means. Would it not be the height of iu
lusticetoconipcl that parertto forgo the earn-
.s of his child which he so much needs. But
the 'aw is innorahle the child, although ho
Hud hit parents are most willing, cannot earn
anything o.... the period determined by the
state. Let then suer want it mntt?rs not,
Hie State is supreme. .....
Another point worthy or consideration In
connection with the contempi.lted law is, it
matters not wlmt objection or how many ail.i
w-ll founded thev miy be, ihe child must goto
the district school. It may be that the teacher
in that school ia very poorly qualified, or may
not be liked by tiie cuiiUr u parents; the
teacher indeed may tic their enemy. The Asso
ciations there may le of an objectionable char
acter. The directors may not, us is sometimes
the case (ride the Williamsburg correspondent's
late letter to the Altoona Tribune.), use their
authority in tlie proper direction. There are
numberless other difficulties that may arise:
nevertheless the child inn.: on t that district
achfil no choice and he icust study what is
marked out for him by others, and t.ot what he
or his parents and friends might Wish. Oil !
what beautlial. priceless freedom Unit Is'
How thoroughly in unison with our American
principles !
But we want all our peoplo thornugnly edu
cated. Humbugl What nonsense! If ablate
contents itself iwith placing within the reach
of the people the means of elocution, and is
Impartial In the distribution of its means the
people will use them so far as is necessary, and
will be sufficiently educated so us to discharge
properly the duties of good citizens. States are
siippnsed not to enact any law conflicting with
the provisionsof the constitution, one of which
is "the right of the people to be secure in their
persons .... again-t the unreasonable sei
zures," etc. Now, it appears to me that a per
son only rrn tnlcrahlii well versed in the knowl
edge of law might find in said provision of the
constitution a sufficient proof to warrant him
in saying that seizing a boy or girl of twelve,
fourteen or sixteen years of age and placing
him or her, sgainst his or her will, in a school
housc.tliere to remain during a prescribed peri
od, would be a violation o' the law of personal
liberty. The seizure would be unjust as well
as' unreasonable, because there is no crime ac
tually or virtually committed. The boy refer
red to is entitled to enjoy personal freedom uti
til he forfeits it by some crime. But It will be
said ne violates the compulsory law, and that
is a srime. Ves, but it must not be forgotten
that the constitutionality of tht law Is what
we have under consideration. An1 our proof
against its being so Is the case adduced. The
persona '(freedom of the boy resulting from the
constitutional provision is prior to the law o
priving him of ;s.iid liberty. It ennnot be de
nied but that the word peopfe" in Article 4th
of the Amended Constitution "Covers the ease
supposed, and Indeed might in my opinion be
made (to afford the (rgisol protection toall un
offending youths. These personal seizures
this roiijjh .handling of .Innocent children by
State officers !s not calculated to enhance in
the Juvenile breat much esteerti for American
Independance. Neither will the parents whose
children are forcibly taken from them elenrlv
understand what is meant byjthe above guaran
tee of personal freedom. Lmtitrr.

had time o see the light. Should that gentle
man again make his appearance in public print,

NlAR Sf.Atow, Fab. 17, 187S.
Dear Freimas In looking over the late Au
ditors' settlement in Cambria county, as pub
lished by you, and comparing it with the Audi
tors' settlement dated January, l.7, tiiert seems
to be some dlscrepencies between the two re
ports. If properly explained how the discrep
ancies occurred, It might be of some benefit to
the taxpayers at large.
First, tbu Auditors' report of January,
1874,'showed a balance in the hands of
Constables of the taxes of 187:1 (1,013.50
Of that, according to tbe late set
tlement, there was since paid to
Trea-U:r $383.85
And that tnere remains ia hauds
or Constables 233.38-1,217.23
Balance to be accounted for 728.27
Query What has become of the said S728.2? ?
Secondly, the Auditors' report of Jan
uary. 1874, showed the amount then in
the hands of Collectors for 1872 arid
previous years to be 4,1M.0C
Of that the late report shows to
have been since p'd Treasurer. $l,804-4t
And remain g yet in their hands
only 809.75-S 314.M
Balance to be accounted for $1,836.90
Thirdly, ths lite Auditors' settlement
or report shows the uet ain't placed in
bauds of Constables for collection In
to be 10.W9.04
And of that amount was paid to
Treasurer $5,967.79
And that there remains yet ia
their hands 3.301.11 9,&'5.B0
Balance to be accounted for f 1,640.14
No doubt but this last balance would be bal
anced by exonerations, as the late report snows
no exonerations except 107.5$ on duplicate.
All may be right in substance and no injustice
done to any one, but the County Auditors ought
to have shown in their report how such large
deficits occurred by showing what would bal
ance them. Then there would have been no
room for criticisms.
And now, sinco we have got on Auditors' re
ports, permit me to call the attention of tax
payers to an article or problem by some firm
named "Trv & Straiahteti." which appeared in
