Mr. Percivsl F. Smith is the name of the
gentleman who has been appointed Superin
tendent of Transportation, rice Hon. John
Kellly, now serving his constituents In Con
gress. Whether Mr. Reilly's withdrawal Is
temporary or permanent we are not prepared
to say, but if he does not return to his former
position we presume it will be because he
has been called np higher in the service of
the Pa. It. B. Co.
Mr. George Gates, of Yoder township,
W hose severe illness we noticed a few weeks
ago, died on Monday last, aged upwards of
eighty years. Mr. Gates was well known to
many of our citizens, having been a frequent
visitor to our town during the sittings of
court. He was ponseswed of wonderful
physical endurance, and with due care for
his bodily health, would undoubtedly have
lived many years longer.

If it is proper to speak of cold weather
being "red hot," we can truly sav that we
had as severe a spell of that kind the latter
part of last week aud the early part of the
present week as has been experienced in this
latitude for many a day. At present, how
ever, the atmosphere is ranch more child
like and bland, and the snow that we had
has given place to almost unfathomable
mud that we didn't want at all, at all.
We forgot to notice last week that Mr.
Masterson, recently assigned to the position
of engineer ou our Ilranch train, bad been
returned to duty on the main line, and that
our good friend and patron, Mr. Hart. Mc
Cate, of Cambria borough, is now the en
gineer in charge ou the E. & C. II. R. We
are glad to welcome Itart, amongst na and
hope that he will lie continued in the posi

two weeks after the robliery, and now his

short distance this side of Gallitzln. The
unfortunate man was employed at the time
in sweeping snow from one of the switches.

Candidates for nomination on the Dem
ocratic county ticket next year are stilt
coming to the front, bnt as we have made it
a rule to mention no names unless we Know
positively that the parties are in the field,
we will refer to none this week except Mr.
John Soinerville, of Susquehanna, who as
sures ns of his intention to take his chances
in the race for Sheriff. It is almost needless
to say that as a Democrat and as an hon
est, upright and clever gentlemen, Mr. Sora
erville has ro superior anywhere, and that
he would faithfully and acceptably perform
the duties of tao office to which he aspires
is just as certain as that be would be elected
by an overwhelming majority if he was
rl-wed tipou the track. There are other men
aspiring for the pimition who are eqnally
competent, but the nomination ot no one we
are sure would give more unbounded satis
faction than that of Mr. Somerville.
Tyrone made three narrow escapes from
destructive fires within the past few days.
On Friday last a child went to one of the
upper rooms in the Central hotel with a
lighted candle in its hand, and soon after
the discovery was made that the room was
full of smoke, and further investigation dis
closed the fact that the child bad accident
ally set Are to a quantity of bed clothes.
The flames were promptly subdued, but not
nntil about $150 worth of property had been
destroyed. The same evening a red hot
stove was upset at the residence of Adam
Estriker, but the outcries of the women
folks soon brought several men to the scene,
and the fire was "outened," as the Johns
town Tribune wonld remark, before any
serious damage was done. On Monday even
ing a lamp exploded at the residence of a
widow lady in that place, and had it not
been for the well directed efforts of two
gentleman who happened to be passing at
the time, the widow and the house would
both undoubtedly have suffered very badly
from the catastrophe.

Tte Catholic Fair Past and Fvturt.
The ladies' fair in aid or the Church of
the Holy Kame, during the two weeks U
has thus far been in operation, met with
quite a liberal patronage, all things con
sidered, the net receipts up to Saturday
night last exceeding the sum of 3400 not a
mean amonnt when the stringency of the
money market is taken into account. On
to-morrow evening the fair will again open
its doors and remain open during all of next
week, with the exception we presume of
next Thursday evening, when the grand
Martha Washington tea party and other
pleasant festivites are to reign supreme at
Belmont. For this crowning glory of the
ladles' fair the most thorough arrangements
are being made, and there is every reason to
believe that the event will tie one of the
most enjoyable and memorable that Ebens
burg has ever known. Ample provision
will be made for the accommodation and en
joyment of all who may attend, and unite a
large delegation is looked for from A 1 toon a
and elsewhere, all of whom will be treated
to are ride on runners from Cresson to this
place, provided there is snow sufficient for
the purpose; otherwise there will be ar
rangements made for running an extra train
on the Branch road, that is it the number of
visitors should justify the enterprise. At
the party itself the role of Martha Washing
ton is to be assumed, and well assumed it
will be, by Mrs. Winnie Moore, while the
immortal Geerge himself is to be rehabili
tated in the person of onr warm-hearted
friend James P. Mnrphy, who has the ability
and the determination to do full justice to
the "father of his country" even if he should
sacrifice one of the most immaculate of
moustaches in the patriotic effort. Besides
these some twenty or thirty couple have al
ready signified their intention of appearing
in continental costume, and even we onrself
expect to be one of the nshers on the interest
ing occasion, though we have no intention
of going back a matter of one hundred years
in our style of wearing apparel. If yon
come to see ns "nsh," however, you cannot
fail to lie edified by the exhibition. In
this connection it is also well enough to
bear in mind that a grand shooting tourna
ment is to take place on the grounds at
Belmont during the same day, (Thursday,)
for several valuable prizes, and we have
reason to bel:eve that nearly all the lwst
marksmen from this and adjoining counties
will take a hand in the sport. No one who
appreciates innocent amusement and wishes
to aid a good cause should fail to attend the
coming festivities.
Shut Ur in a Coal Mine. On Wednes
day last a coal miner named Emanuel Smith,
who was employed in digging coal In what
is known as Stifller's mine, in Jackson town
ship, was pushing a car Into the drift when
a liody of horseliack fell just after he passed
a point some distance inside. Titers was
alnt twenty feetof itin all, and the feelings
of the unfortunate man can be imagined
when he found himself shnt out from the
light of day, with the the prospect of dying
by starvation. This was about nine o'clock
in the morning, and with bnt a faint glim
mer of hope he commenced digging away
with his hands in the vain attempt of re
moving the immense pile of slate before his
strength wonld fail him.
That night his wife became alarmed at
his alwence, and at once proceeded to the
saw mill of Capt. Davis, in the vicinity,
where her fears were related. Several of
the employes immediately went to the
mine, and found that the roofing had fallen
in. They had no idea that Mr. Smith was
still living, but concluded to dig for his
body. After removing several feet of the
slate they heard the voice of the imprisoned
man, and at once commenced working with
redoubled energy, so that on Thursday morn
ing, aliout eight o'clock, the debris was en
tirely cleared away, and the jinfortnnate
man was removed. He had sustained no
Injury beyond his fingers being ladly lacer

The Catholic World. The January
number of this magazine has been received.
The leading art icle, "The President's Speec h
at Des Moines," deals with the subject of the
day in this couutry. The speech, of course,
is viewed from a Catholic standpoint, ami
the criticism ou it is temperate, notwithstand
ing the tone of veiled sarcasm that pervades
the article. It would seem to have been
written before the delivery of the President's
Message, yet may te read as a representative
Catholio comment on the portion of that
message which has called forth the most
general remark. "The Protestant Episcopal
Church Congress" is an article that will
claim attention In certain quarters. "The
Conference at Bonn," "The Apostolic Mis
sion to Chili," and the pleasant sketch,
"From Cairo to Jerusalem," will repay per
rusal. A number of stories especially adapt
ed to the season form an attractive feature of
the present number. In addition to the ar
ticles already mentioned, there is an ex
haustive review of the year 1875, which, with
Literary Notices, closes the number. A card
from the editor, the Rev. I. T. Hecker, who
has just returned from a three year's visit
abroad, gives notice of his resumption of
personal supervision of the magazine.

George H. Onnaref alin George H. t'onklin was

sued by the city attorney charging him with bl tra

the accused married Mary Jane Rorabana;h In

30th of last month for Indiana, Pa., since
when no trace of him has been discovered,
except that be was seen by several passen
gers on the car between his home ami Ty
rone, but no one remembers of seeing him
get out of the car. His route would' lie to
Tyrone, thence to Blairsville Intersection,
and from thence to Indiana. Mr. Miller
bad but one arm (the left arm being off near
the shoulder); he was of round, plump form,
about five feet nine inches in height, weight
190 pounds, and wore a wig of light chestnut
color. It is possible that his mind was tem
porarily disturbed, and that he wandered
out of bis way. Information sent to D. W.
Moore, Clearfield, Pa., by any person know
ing the whereabouts of the missing man will
be thankfully acknowledged. Jas. Mitchell
and 8. P. 8haw, of the same place, are also
reported missing, with considerable loose

Dear Frrwar Want of time roust account
for my non-appearance last week.
In my first paper I arave an explanation of the
working- of the national bank system. I now
propose to show why the Government should
never have Issued a dollar of currency to these
monopolies. In the first place the Government
pavs interest on the bonus deposited for the se
curity of the notes it gives the national banks.
Secondly, It gives them currency to the amount
of 90 per cent, or the bonds, with the reserva
tion that they keep a reserve ot t per cent, tn
bank. Hut why did not Government Issue
arreenbaeks Instead of peylns; Interest on near
ly S4U0.00O.U1O to the lianks? The answer Is ob.
vlous : This was one of the many ways devised
for robblnir the people snd enriching- the privi
leged class. At 'ho commence men t of the panic
the amount of the national bank currency was
fclRO.WW.onO, or nine-tenths of the total amount
on which the Government was paying Interest
to the national banks. The Secretary of the
Treasury in his Report for 1873 illustrates this
as follows: "A certain nation', hank in Chi
cago.'' he says, "deposited in the Treasury fluo,
l"J in bonds which cost it tll".CO0 in greenbacks.
The Government paid the bank fcYOOO in gold
semi-annually, which was worth 5.7"0 in green
backs. The (iovernment also grave the bank
f iO.000 In national bank notes, requiring it to
keep a reserve of 25 per cent., or 2.500." He
then goes on to show what the bank made by
loaning its 67,00. and concludes by declaring
that It netted about 11 per cent, on Its Invest
ment. Now. at this same rate, the Interest on
the :tH1,ir,7K) In xinrts In the Treasury as secu
rity for the :Ci0,3rB.t8 or national banknotes,
on Nov. 1, 1873, amounted to lv,4ct,.i38. from
which deduct about w),000,OUO tax paid by the
national banks to the government, aud you
have a balance of more than 913,000.000 paid In
one year for absolutely nothing. Assuming the
nationai lianks to have been In operation on an
average ten years, and placing the average
amount of intrrert annunlln at 10.000.t1O0, we
have 100,000.000 thrown to the t0 in this way
alone. Now, if i ho Government had Issued fViO,
OOaOOOor legal-tender notes it would have saved
those 100.000.000. and greenbacks would not
hare depreciated more than they did during
the war. And had Congress made the green
back a full Ii gal-tender the greenback would,
to-day, be on u par with gold.
The act of isow, providing for the resumption
of specie payments, sod for thelpayment In
specie of such bonds as were not contracted to
be paid In coin, was a direct violation or the
Constitution of the United States, which says:
rCongress shall pass.no cx post facto law or
bill o? attainder," etc Now this bill. Inasmuch
as It was passed long after the debt was con
tracted, is an ex post facto law, and, therefore,
void.
THE SHEnMA" fltl.T.
We come now to the bill for the resumption
or specie payments, passed in January, ix'ih,
and provided for the resumption of sccie pay
ments on and after January 1st, 179. By this
bill the greenback is deprived of its pertial
quality of legal-tender and gold M made the
meesure, or unit of currency and the
rapis or CRKUIT.
"nut," some will say, "does not this act pro
vide for the redemption of the greenback in
gold?" Yes; but where are we to get gold suf
ficient for this purpose. By the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury for 1873. (the latest
authentic statement on this point I have at
hand,) it appears that on Nov. 1 or that year the
amount or gold In the country was tl.lVuOO.OOu,
and V.otio,000 or sliver. Supposing that, arter
Jan. I, 1879, 300,000.000, of greenbacks would be
presented at the Treasury for redemption, and
there would be only I3&.noo.rsO of gold in the
Treasury and there will not be anything like
that amount what then? Why. the Govern
ment would have to suspend payments, nnd
the greenback dollar would be worth only 41 S
cts. When we consider that the amount of
greenbacks Is far above that figure, and the
available gold will he far below, we can form
an idea of the effect this measure would have,
even had we not a huge national debt and also
the national back notes, and all other bank
notes, demanding gold. To have a rjtccic lumHi
tor our greenback and national-hank note cir
culation, which amounts to about V7O0.O00.000,
would require nearly one half of all the gold
used as a circulating medium In the world
the amount being 1,500.000.0)). But the end
sought by the Ooid I'inrcr is not the resumption
or specie payments, but the depreciation ot the
currency, that thereby it may build up the
wealth of the oondholder and gold-nprculator,
on the ruins of Industry.
whai is basis?
I answer, basis Is tho foundation on which
credit rests. The basis of the greenback, and
the bonds, and all government tecurlties, is tho
em-ike wealth of the nation. All the lands,
improvements, snd chattels of the United States
constitute the security or the greenback. It
is this real worth or the nation which gives
gold its circulating value; otherwise It would
only possess an intrinsic worth as a commodity
or merchandise ror sale at home, or for export,
and It Is this quality of a rare and unstable
commodity which renders it an ua-tafe and un
reliable basis of currency and measureof value.
cmrui.Avi.No media.
A medium of circulation is a rnrrrnf nlgn or
indebtednext used to represent the' wealth or
basis at the back or It. in the transaction of
business. Instead of tho ancient method of bar
ter and exchange- There are tunny kinds or
media. Tho media most generally employed
are, metallic coins, paper curront-y. bonds,
notes, checks, drafts, bills of exct.ange, clearing-house
checks, etc.
Now all these instruments of business must
have credit or ha4s behind them. Naturally,
the security with the greatest credit behind It
is the one most sntiht by all intelligent busi
ness men ; and it is for this reason that the cur
rency of the Government Is in such great de
mand. It is a current sign which receives cred
it in all parts of the country. In this respect
it Is rar superior to the paper or individuals
which can nave at most only a local circulation
and a local credit.
TRB PCM AND FOR MONEY
greater at some seasons ot the year than- at
other times.
The demand ror money varies with the recur
ring seasons of tne year. In the fall there is a
great demand for money to ship the products
of the agricultural portions of the country, es
pecially the G reat W est. to the Eastern markets.
This demands for the tinte a great volume of
currency. The Immediate demand over, the
money whi-h was thus employed seeks Invest
ment, and this investment is generally in East

sa'e Investment, put it into slocks, snd all

puzzled me, and If yonr Cambria county big runs

The question is a practical one and occurred on

There is a land to be plowed, which Is a mile and
a half long and eight rods wide. Three plows
tarn ever twenty acres a day ; consequently there
are seventeen days' plowing. Now, measuring
from the side In towards the centre, what Is the
width that will be cutoff each day? Seventeen
answers are required, carried ont to five decimal

Scan law, wife of John K. Scanlan, Esq.. aged 30
years, 7 months and 28 davs. Mrs. Scan Ian had
been 111 for about a fortnight, and although she

fihysiclana of this place, nature In executing her
nexorable laws bathed all theirsklll. and claimed
this truly beloved lady, the only child of our well

stanoes, her death Is doub:y sad and distressing.
She was a most amiable lady a model wife and a
true mother to her three surviving young and in
teresting children, two boys and a girl. It is sad
and melancholy for the additional reason, that her
mother (Mrs. Jonnston) Is, and for some time has
been, aa invalid. She aod Mr. Johnston, and es
pecially Mr.Scanlan, havethe heartfelt sympathy
or this entire community in their great bereave
ment. The deservedly high appreciation in which
the subject or thl- notice was held by all who knew
her and esteemed for her many virtues, was elo
quently manifested by the Immense throng of peo
ple who followed her remains to their final resting
place in the Catholic cemetorv, yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock. The Impressive ceremonies of the
Church on such occasions .were performed by
Father Boyle, who delivered a reeling and elo
