Speaking of Sheriff John Byan. the
Ehensburg correspondent of the Johnstown
Time says : "This gentleman, whose term
of oRic will expire in January next, has
proven himself to beone of the ablest Sheriffs
who ever held office in Cambria county.
Stem where it became necessary, and lenient
on such occasions as leniency seemed neces
sary, he has endeared himself to both those
unfortunates who came under his penal
supervision and those other who meet him
in the everyday walks of life. It is report
ed that, after the expiration of his term of
office, he means to go to your tow n to per

we wish him good luck." We endorse-all

Owbs Ccfsisr,HAM'9 Mant Troubles.
About thre months ago Owen Cunning
ham, formerly of this place, but latterly re
siding in Carrolltown, was arrested by Con
stable Wherley on two warrants Issued by
Alderman Spurrier, of Lancaster, in which
he was charged with having obtained two
notes, one from Frederick Bletz, of Colum
bia, and the other from Wm. T. Youart, of
Graef's Landing, by making false representa
tions to them. The amount involved in the
first stated case was $78, and in the other
S75. Cunningham was taken to Lancaster,
and in default of entering bail for his ap
pearance at Court was committed to prison,
where he remained until last Friday, when i
ooui cases were taken up and tried. I lie
main witness for the Commonwealth wa&.
James Hawks, a iumlier dealer who resides
in or near Chest Springs, in this county.
After all the evidence was in, and it being
shown that there was a reasonable doubt of
the defendant's guilt, that he had already
been in jail for a long time, and also that he
was in ill health, the court allowed a verdict
of not guilty to be taken, and the county to
pay the costs, as the prosecutions had been j 'J uT XnTt
brought in good faith. Mr. Cunningham s i ,,ns. such as one would stir mush with, and woe to

Sad AcctDKNT. Mr. William K. PhMn- I
mer, police officer and nicht watchman t !
the P. R. II. depot in Tyrone, was Struck by the"
... 1 - . ' . .. . ,
engine of the Mail train west last Tuesday
morning and instantly killed The Altoona
Tribune, from which journal we condense
the particulars of this sad affair, says that
the duties of Mr. Plummer of late had been
extended to watch over the loaded cars stand
ing on the warehouse siding. It appears to
have been his habit to make a general survey
of these cars three or four times during the
night, and when be met his death he was on i
his last round in more senses than one. A
freight train on the south track going east at j
the time, it is supposed, deadened the sound
of the approaching fast mail west. Peing on
a very deep curve and hemmed in with cars
on both sides of him, if he heard or saw the
train he had not time to get out of the way,
Mr. Plummer was born in Summerhill town
ship, Cambria countv. in the month of Octo-
Imt, 1KU. At the age of 15 years he left his
I home and went to John DeArmit, in tlavs
( port, to learn the blacksmith's trade. Tins
j did not appear to suit him and shortly after
! ward he went with William Burlov to Cove
1 Forge as a helper in the forge, lfe. worked
j there a short time and then went to the old
i forge above Spruce Creek. At the age of 18
1 he went to Tyrone, where he has since resi
1 ded. He was tho father of ten sons and one
j daughter, all living with the exception of
i three sons. His wife preceded him to the
Krave only a rew months. He sympathize.

THIRTMKSTH FAPKK-
In th day of losj ctiurctiM. log rhnol honsrt
and lo dwellings, nourished John O'Connor. n
old time schoolmaster. It wm as early as the year
1807 when O'Connor flrt commenced to knock off
the knots and polish the roueh candidates fur lit
erarv honors who ?proutod around the M'uir
spttfement. He was an excellent inrtructor in the j
main, hut sliichtly Inclined to tyranny reifnins;
na-lit rovallv within hi? lor mrisdiction-ai" royally. I
Indeed, as the thirty tyrants ol ancient Oroect-. i
One of the methods of discipline of thin worthy
IMjd.uro.rne was so original and potent that we are
tempted to (rive it a thorouirh description. An or-
dlnarv 'shaving-horse'' sue'. a is need for shaving gentlemen's wardrobes, from tha merest toilet tri
shinir'lcs was introduced into the school-room as an fie to the complete outfit at all prices from the
engine of justice and the howling delinquent was t cheapest to the most expensive."
set astride of this unique appliance, bearing the aHuf certainlv there are other things in the
additional punishment of a hiiitre dunce-cap on his
head which was most wondrously constructed of
raccoon skins a in funnel, and having a long ap
pendageof 'coon's tails trallingdown behind. The
roaring rider rode the shingle-shaver before the
whole school, yet not a small boy hnrdly dared to
i tite was nut ana nrarv. inn ikt ciose to me inuo
where It fell. Oftentimes the performance was va-
rled by placing a horse-eollar about the neck of the
shaving-horse rider noys anil gins anise no mit
igation ol punishment being allowed on account of
the weaker sex. This sketch may serve as a float
ing buoy on the ocean of pedagogic, warning the
modcrn teacher oft the hidden rocks upon which
O'Connor's reputation as a teacher was wrecked;
for his arbitrary, severe and mitre method or disci
pline is still borne in mind with anything but
arratcful emotions.
There were extenuating circumstances, however,
HL1.1, . t. 1 . V. .. - . . C laanLaM In
those earlv times. The material in many cases
was very raw and unaccustomed to restraint, call- j
ing for extra exertion and appliances to keep it
: within proH?r hounds.
i A rough back-wood" school In the howling wil
I den! is a far dillercnt Institution from the
I smooth, polite and director-governed town school,
where the melodious-voiced eduea'or has little to
! do hut to hear recitations, expulsion coming In to
i supply the place of discipline. In those early days
I a boy was sent into school like a sheaf of wheat to
I a thresh ing-niachine to have the chart knocked out
of him and the good sound irrain brought to bght.
As there Is such a wide difference between a town
school and a country school, there i. just as much
difference in the method and scope of the teaching
that is. In primary schools. If a country school
tnnv be called a primary school, tor a boy starts in !
there at six and in many cases keeps on till he Is (
twenty-one. The country school has young men I
and young women to deal with, whereas a town
primary school takes in children only. j
Hut, to resume our pioneer school. Frank Me-
i Connell. when a boy. went to school to O'Connor, ;
I ami on a certain any, ior some piece 01 rniscniei or
j other, he was sentenced to receive twentv-lour I
blows of the dreaded broad paddle on his hands
Alter taking twelve blows on the hands his swollen
fialnis gave out. wherenon he took the balance on
its bare feet after the manner of the bastinado.
There is one eminent truth II lustra ted by the above
incident, namely, that unlimited power in the
hands ol humanity is almost invariably abused.
Kor our next illustration of harkw.iods school
life we will shot the scene to another locality.
In the month of February, 18, the Todd school
was doing efficient service with a lengthy roll of
names male and female pupils. Thedrltts block
ed the roads the whole country round, and the
scholars skipped to and fp over the white billowy
undulations, often at evening leaving a message in
huge Inscribed character on the hard frozen sur
face at the cross-roads, where the intended school
mate would first read It on his return In the morn
Ing. Many a tunny communication inscribed In
tln.t manner was read in the morning by thi blithe
scholars, amid vociferous yell and many antics,
tin one occasion the scholars, during he day. had
been cniraged in surreptitious letter-writing of an
amative character, much to the annovance of one
ol the scholars, E. V. . At the forks of the
road that night the ownerof the above Initials took
venucanee on hl foe by emitting from his poetic j
K'jnuia the lollowinK effusion
I,ouis Mel) 's as fat as a jpiir :
He nsd to wear a little white bill.
John H is not inm-li better.
He used to write some pretty letters."
Some of those concerned in the above epigram
are dead, while some are still livinar : some pros
perous And happy, and some othcrv ise.
n another occasion a youn jflrl who was a
scholar In attendance at the 'I' school fn A 1-
lcirhenv township, this countv, had to stav at
home to io an errand to the neighboring; villas"- '
When she eame to the cross-roads with iier bK of 1
rairs tho met John II on fiis way to school. '
; lieinff young; and full ol life and always ready for
I a romp, she took up a v is it Ion in the snow-drift I
before the youna: student, completely baftlinjr his
j lorther progress to the locat Ion of books and birch-
cs. Although a lusty voiine; chap of sixteen, he :
was repeatedly sent floundering in the deep drifts
: by vrrll directed Mows of the rae; bair. and despite
! nil hi." ellorts he could not pass on tnl he had first
j sun;? "Hoot hoi? or die" lor the amusement of his ';
: indefatigable tormentress. When the solo was j
j ended he was allowed to proceed on his way to !
; school without further molestation, and 1 presume ;
i he still retains in memory the funuy performance.
Win. S was a very worthv yunir man who I
did the chorus of a farm in ihe mornings and even
inirs and attended school In the "Mid Todd school
house" diirinif the day. William was Kcnerally
very temperate in bis habits, but one day he was
coaxed oil by an oursidr companion, the two brins
ini? up at last in the village tavern, where they
soon became quite .lolly anil boisterous. Despite
the ohlitpealioii o muni caused by tho essenee ol
rye, William t back to school In time to escort
the seven and eiirht year old dannteir Cf hif em
ployer throiis-h the deep snow-drilts to their home.
Ntr. Hoddy, tho teacher, hacked by the wholo
school, tried to persuade the zealous youth that ho
was not in a fit condition to see the girls home safe,
but no! home he would take the children despite
all persuasion boundinir alout through the pow
dery snow like the favorite panther ol the nierrv
ifod, Haechus. of mythology cracking his fists anil
lumping up with t he oft-repeated asseveration that
he would see them home s:ite. All alon:r the wav
home, at every lanre tree, the realous and fiery es
cort would cra k nis fists on the rouh hark and
demand of the trsrls it he were not seeing them
home safe. At last they reached home and the
;rirl were delivered into the hands of the mother.
Honest William then pruoee-led to the barn to feed
the stock, climbing away up Into the highest hay
mow to poke the evenliuc's feed down thrnnirli tlie
mow-hole. The industrious and muddled vouth
first poked down the required amount of bay and
then loll thronh theniow-hole himself, cleardown
to the bottom, coming out entirelv nnscathed with
the exception of a skinned nose. At another of
those mountain schools the girls had one day t
u'fiv ?cruoueu xnc noor tin it was as clean as a
new pine hoard. The lare toys. becominganvious
of the praises and merits bestowed on the girls, de
faced the clean floor with oceans of tobacco juice,
much to the displeasure and disgust of the Voting
ladles. This flagrant violation of the rules could
not he overlooked by the teacher, so a good (tout
wattle wm called into requisition, which did ex
cellent service upon the backs and shoulders of the
offenders. One or the boldest of the offenders
jumped up and dolled his coat with a view to resist
the teacher. The teacher, who was a voung man,
instantly adopted the same tactics and made a
rush lor the belligerent mutineer, who turned and
fled ignominlously out of the door, ami was not
fccii again mat aay. I lie rest of the boys icinain-
eil quiet till evening, hut they concocted
ut thev concocted a nlnn at
recess which developed Itself after school. The
teacher was fixing out the day's report at the desk,
school havinsr beep dismissed with Its u.sual
quietude, tine of the girls had remained In the
school house lor the ostensible purpose of getting
some books out of her desk to take home with her
for evening study, but In reality her object was to
inform the teacher of the consuiracv which hid
! been formed against him. The informant was a
young and pretty girl of sixteen, and as the tcach
I er was also young be appreciated very highly the
interest which the fair one tcok In his welfare.
; Just then a fierce yell, like a Comanche war
l whoop, startled the inmates of the school-room, and
. pretty toon after a boy came in with the message
. that a young man outside wit-lied to fight the
, teacher. Al this the teacher stepped to the doorto
j reconnoitre, when his presence was greeted with a
most deafening cheer every belligerent meantime
. leaping and swinging his hat like mad. The hoy
had called In a id irom the outside, their champion
I being a young man who was engaged in chopping
j curd-wood not far from the sclond-house. This
I pugnacious individual called loudly on thetcaoher
I to come lorth to the arena ot comhttt cracking his
fists and walking around through the admiring
j circle like a game cock in a hennery. The teacher
saw at once mat mobbing was tho order ol the ev
ening, so stepping back into tho school-room he

he stepped outside, stili accompanied by his fair
ally, who stood by him as the fair Indian maiden
did by Captain John Smith of ancient renown
I
Deafening yells greeted the advance ot the envi
ous pair but they proceeded boldlv on toward the
front till within a lew yards of the yelling horde,
j The teacher now raised hi hickory clnb anil re
, marked that he would tell the first one like a ml-
j lock who came within reach. On the two walked
with leisure stops through the lane which was
i
opened up before them, passing through the roar
; ing enemy in a march of triumph, while not one
I dared to molest them. As s'hui as all danger ot
j attack had passed, the teacher's fair young iriend
1 stepped aside, and he went on alone" to hi lodg
' ings. This is a true story, and related just as it
. occurred. That teachergot himself into the above
recorded difhculty through taking tlie part of an
itinerant Methodist minister who was attacked
. and insulted by the largest of the schoolboys while
passing along the road near the school-house. The
boys or young men remarked that they had a
grudire against that man. and they meant to take
: it out ol him. The teacher answered bluntly that
, if they "took it out of the preacher" he would "take
It out of their backs." From that nut the unrulv
clique transferred their hostility to the teacher.
and harrassed him vcrv often In manv wavs. The
; teacher was even attacked by rocky missiles on his
1 way home stones suddenly "whistling from behind
barns and other nnthoughi-of plae ;s and he was i
even warned by a committee of tho voting niuti- ,
I nuersaml their outside friends, not to dare tn route
back the next week under penalty ol annihilation.
The nnwcr was that he would return to his c-hmd
11 a regiment ef them stood in the way. It was
even nece-arv nt one time for the teacher to be
trnarded on his wav to and from school bv a couolc I
of stout farmery, and he held his j osjtlon through
tne last week of the term with a revolver In his
pocket.
These are all facts, and they tend to illustrate

"Can yon tell me something about Its arrange- !

The description for to-day very likely should he j
changed for to-morrow, "for," said a lady fashion
writer from IVew York who visited the H-rand I)e- !
Mt evcrv dav for two weeks a a more matter of
curiosity, "I never saw such a place In my life as
the Orand Depot: they are constantly springing
new mines upon me. A few days ago I examined
a small stock of toys down stairs, this morning I
am invited to Inspect the children's gallery, which
presents already a festival appearance, a regular
fairy scene of mimic horse races, revolving pictures,
various mechanical toys, doll furniture, houses
and all manner of toys, besides dolls of all sties
and nationalities, enough. In truth, to set an or
dinary child wild with delight. And again I am
told the art gallery Is open for my approval, and

tention." And then the lady from Mew York do
I scribed some of the costumes and evening dresses
i which had charmed her, for even literary women
' have feminine vanities, and set as much store by
a new lionnct or suit as the fashionable society
dame.
a skating costume merits a description for Its
simplo arrangement. The skirt is of black velvet,
perfectly plain : the upper garment, a kind of a
double paletot, has both fkirts bordered with Mack
beaver fur. sprinkled with white stars; the inutl
and boa match the fur trimming, while the jaunty
can is of velvet, with a border of the fur.
A very elegant reception robe Is a combination
of green velvet and mastic colored llk. The vel- ;
vet on lower skirt is arranged In three slightly i
gathered ruffles; aliove Is a shirred drapery edged
with handsome frinpeof the twocolors ; thlscrossei
the front, and Is headed by a ruffle of velvet ; then
comes another fringe-trimmed shlrrlngof the mas
tic silk, which joins the pointed waist ol green vel- '
vet, which opens in front over a full shirred stem- I
acher of silk, and is finished on each side with rich
lace, which also decorates neck and sleeves. The j
back drapery and train are of mastic silk, theedge 1
of train fwlng ornamented with ruffles and plait
In gs ol the heavy mastic silk.
An evening dress oftceherg blue silk Is partlcu- j
larly charming. The back drapery and train are ,
composed entirely of the silk, edged with lace and
trimmed with shells ol the silk. Interspersed with
loops and ends of blue and silver ribbon. The side
decorations consist of jabot cascades f bretonne
lace from the waistline down to edge of skirt, grad
uating from the smallest possible siio to a large :
tan-like plaiting. Over the front Is an cxquisito
drapery of silvery gauic. through which the blue
of the silk shows daintily, and this overgarment j
is trimmed with els.it inns of lace and knots and I
ends of the blue and silvcrrtbbon. The low conage
and short sleeves are finished with the lace and
knots ol the ribbon.
With these costumes the ((loves should be per-

of ladies. The Foster kid jjlovo seems to b exactly !

Klovo laces at the wrist Instead of buttoninp;: there
