A Grant organ says
"We never had a President who saw ©r
eras seen by more people. He is never hid
den away. He is ready to meet his friends
and feUow-cititen* of alt condition* at all
times and teems to be glad to be among
them.''
Yes, and wo may add, wo never had
a President who was seen away iVom
his post mow then Grant; and wo
never had a President who was seen
drank by more people thau was
Grant.
We want to know what radical or
gan has yet censured President Grant
for signing the salary grab bill, by
which his own pay was doubled. We
do not think thew is one to be found
in the country. This congressional
and presidential salary grab measure,
is the most impudent and outragous
radical steal on record, and while the
rads affect to be disgusted with it on
that account, yet not a single one of
their organs has thus far ceusurcd
Grant for putting his name to it aud
thus making it a law. There is a sor
rvful lack of courage aud virtle here
and it is the clearest proof that all rad
ical professions area sham.
Grasshoppers are the pest of Texas
and other portions of the country, and
are eatimg up all as they go. This is
nearly as bad as the radical grasshop
pers, who are infesting the entire coun
try, and eating up its substance.
In the case of the exclusion of the
Bible from the Common Schools of
Cincinnati, the Supreme Court decid
ed that the School Board had a right
to pass a resolution to exclude not on
ly the Bible, and singing, but religous
instruction, and the Court has no au
thority to interefere with their discre
tion in the exercise of this power.
Judge Woodward sent his resigua
tion to the Constitutional
but it was not accepted, but that body
granted him leave of absence instead.
Wm. J. Ovens is one of the radical

A GOOD DOG LAW.
The Michigan Legislature at its
last session passed a sensible dog law,
which embraces the following :
Every person who owns a dog shall
grocore a license therefore from the
'ity or Township Clerk where he re
sides, which license expires on the Ist
of the following April, and every dog
licensed shall wear a collar upon
which shall be stamped the owner's
name atfti the number of the license.
The fee to be paid is $1 for a male
dog and $3 for a female dog.
A provision is made for paying da
mages for the destruction of sheep out
of the funds made up of fees, and that
the balance goes to the schools of the
township. It is also provider! that
whoever shall keep a dog without li
cense shall forfeit $lO with cost for re
covery thereof. It is also provided
that any person may, and it is made
the duty of every police officer and
constable to kill any and all dogs go
ing at large not licensed and collared
as above described, and such officers
are to be allowed fifty cents for each
dog so killed by them.
A fourth telegraphic cable has been
laid between the Old World and the
New. The new cable follows from
Valentia to Newfoundland a course
almost exactly parallel to that of the
cable of 1860. Exeept at the shore
ends, the two lines of communication
lie, throughout their entire length,
about 30 miles apart. The new cable
is almost exactly the same length as
that of 1860—1,8961 miles. The in
creased communication between Eu
rope and the United States renders an
additional wire necessary. The cable
0f1865 is also to be overhauled and
repaired. The point of rupture is
abOJt 600 miles from Valentia.
At last Mr. Beecber pronounces
the scandal in which his name has
been so long unpleasantly involved,
grossly untrue. This will have the
effect of restoring corfidence in the
Plymouth pastor —and if the truth
must be told, it was full time for him
to adopt his present positive course.
There yet remains necessity for a fall
and thorough examination of Henry
C, Bowen. It is conceded that he
was the person who first placed the
scandal in circulation. He charged
upon Mr. Beecher directly and ex
plicitly the crimes specified through
Woodhuli's publication. Mr. Bow
en is a man, who, previous to the
developement of this case, had occu
pied a respectable positiou in societv
and in even in Plymouth church. If
it be proven that he lied, than be
must nave lied on a scale of enormity
beyond precedent and without any
yet explained. Also, if Mr. Beecber
shows himself guiltless of the offences
imputed to him, that denouncement
wifl embody another instance of the
fact that betimes innocent persons are
made temporarily the victims of
charges marvelously audacious in
minuteness of detail and bearing in
their construction such approach to
jmma facie evidence of truth as to
mislead and deceive even incredulity
itself. There is a talent in lying as
well as in all other accomplishments,
and particularly when a talented liar
has a few admitted circumstances at
his or her command capable of being
tortured into evidence against the
victim, it is not to be wondered at
that plausible cases are made out.
Beecher's intimacy with the Tilton
family was a circumstance of this kind.
But it is comforting to know that in
Beecher's case, as in all others, the
full truth must eventually develope
and the real schemer, be exposed to
the contempt deserved.

Supreme Court Decision
J v IH; M EST REVERSED AK I> NKW
TRIAL ORDERED
Philadelphia. July 3.—The Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania has re
versed the judgement of the Court of
Common Pleas of Dauphin county in
the case of the Commonwealth against
George O. Evans, involving commis
sions for the collection of State war
claims, and ordered a ten ire facias tie
no co.
Judge Sharswood. in announcing
his decision, said, "Evans was hound
by law to make a prompt report of
his collections, and even if requested
verbally by Governor Geary to omit
making such report, as alleged by the
defendant, the Governor had uo au
thority to release a State Agent from
his ofScial duty or the conditions of
his bond."
Another dispatch says: In the
case of George O. Evans, the Supreme
Court has decided, Judge Sharswood
delivering the opinion vesterday, that
the moueys collected by Evans were
collected by bim as a public officer
within the exceptions of the act of As
sembly of 1842. The Judge on the
trial of the case in Court in Dauphin
county should have so charged the
jury. The Judge erred in charging
the jury with reference to the claims
placed in Erana' hands by General
Hartranft for collection, that he
could fix the amount of commission
at three, five or ten per cent, not lim
iting the commission to the amount
actually collected. On the question
of forfeiture by Evans of all this com
mission for refusing or neglecting to
account for bis collections, the Court
held that under the fourteenth section
of the act of 1811 Evans was bound
to account promptly or within a rea
sonable time; that it was the condi
tion of his official bond to account
semi-annually to the State Treasurer
for amounts collected. He collected
on May 1,1867, $78,576 Oct. 27,
1868, $106,651 46, and in August 20,
1870, $136,846 09 He furnished no
account until July 1, 1871. On the
trial, Mr. Evans said that he reported
to Governor Geary, but not in writ
tog, and that as the Sute had a large
balance unsettled, which fact would
endanger the collection thereof, Gov.
Geary requested him not to make a
written report for the good of the
State. Governor Geary, says Justice
Sharswood, was not alive at the time
of the trial to meet these allegmtiens,
but it was too clear for argument that
Governor Geary had no power to re
lease an agent from the performance of
one of his plainest duties, as well as
from the condition of his official bond,
upon any such notion of expediency.
For these and ather reasous a new
trial was ordered.

CREEK RAILROAD COMPANY.
To the Stockholder* of the /,. C. 4 & C. J?/f.
Gkxtlkmkn ■ Your Directors talc*
pleasure in submitting, for your informa
tion, tbe fallowing Report: f
That since the last annual mooting, by
order of your Board of Directors, a third
letting was had of the graduation, mason
ry and bridging of 42.194 miles more|of
your railroad line, and placed under con
tract—that is, from Mifflinburg to Forks
of Penns Creek, being sections No. 12 to
35, making 24.04 miles, and from Penn'a
Railroad near Tyrone, beiog sections No.
70 to 80, both inclusive, a distance of 18,155
miles. On this western division, contrac
tors have done work up till May 1, 1873,
to the amount of $191,174 19, on which
there has been paid 104,400, the balance
beiug per centage retained a* security for
the proper completion of the work. There
was also paid on this end of the work, to
Keystone Bridge Company,
On iron . $2,00000
Weiser 4 Bender, on timber.. 1,500 00
A. J. Hawes, for cement 910 00
Stewart Greek, on ties 5,50800
R. W. Snook, for cement 28b 00
making the whole amount paid on western
end, up till May 1, 1873, for work and ma
terials, $174,550 00. The Engineer esti
mates the graduation, masonry and bridg
ing at $284,100, and all ether cost making
it ready for the locomotive and cars, $266,-
000, which two sums show the entire cost
ef these 18.164 miles to be $549,700.
On this Division, part of tbe work is
heavy, and in places material for filling
and embankments is difficult to get; the
work, however, has been pressed as rapid
ly as adverse weather would allow.—
Much expense has been caused, and also
delay, by tbe necessity of nuking com
mon roads anew, considerable portions of
this section of country being such as to
make the location of the railroad necessa
ly interfere with public roads heretofore
used for travel, and especially is such the
case in Runs Valley, which is gen
erally very narrow and in many places
bordered by limestone bluffs. The stone
work of the bridge over the Juniata river
is finished, and the superstructure thereon
progressing satisfactorily. This Division
will be progressed to final completion
ready for traffic as fast as possible.
On the Division from Mniiffiburg to the
Forks, or Beaver Dam tunnel, the con
tractors have done work to the amount of
$113,149 09, on which they have paid $99,-
400, the amount of work done less tbe per
centage retained. The Engineer estimates
the graduation, masonry and bridging of
Ihit portion of the road at SBOB,IOO, and
the b*lla*liug, tie*, rail*, tiding* and nil
other expenses at $348,Wi11) making th* to
tel cost of these 24 M milt* in running or

From Minifllburg to Lauralton, cction
I'd to SO, diilnnc# of about 0 milot, tha
graduation, matory and bridging ar*
about flnlihtd and ready for tbo ballatl,
tie* and rails, which by the estimate, may
coat about $12,464 per mil*. Thlt being
done, would bring our road through a An*
teclion of country, to near lumber region*
and a short distance front iron are bedt.
Considerable lumber at tbi* point is wail
jug transportation. Thlt piece of read
put in running order would add to tb*
traffic, giving u* n continued completed
lino ot 'JO mile*, connecting with lb* F. A
K Hailroad, which could be operated by
lb* tarn* motive power and hand*, and
would be of great advantage to the public
and to the interest of lb* stockholder* ;
therefore, the immediate laying of lb*
track on the 2 additional mile* I* r scorn
rneuded. The balance of the work on tbia
Division, that is, from Laurelton, teetions
No St to 36, considerable progress bat
btcn made, although the great depth ot
snow thioughout that region during th*
past winter retarded the work. At Pad
dy's Mountain tunnel, which it on teclion
No. 83, rock in stratification hat been en
countered, yet the itrala are generally
parted by email teams of tandt, tad
where tbi* it found, an arch will be re
quired, and may necessitate the arching
une-hnlf of tbn length, thnt it to say, 10U
feet, the wboln through being about 880
feet
Under th* second letting, which was
from th* Fork* of Fcnna Creek, in Centre
county, to Linden llall, section* No. 3d
to 68, distance of 17.82 miles, work has
been done te an amount of S2I,CM 66, and
payment* made tberoon of $83,000 (the dif
ference being per rentage retained a* se
curity for finishing of the work by the con
tractors). There was alto paid Beajamin
Krrstetler, for removing bis dwsliing
house, Ac , olf the line of road (8U0U), and
$76 OU to George Woods for damagt done
to bis house, making tb* whole turn paid
up till May 1, 1873, on tbi* Division, $83,-
87600, nil which was raised from local
subscription*. The entire estimate made
by Eugiacer of the grading, masonry and
bridging of this Diviton, it SIXB,3UO aod

done on this part of the road since Dec. 1,
1872, at it was deemed unnecessary to
press it until the outlet was further ad
vanced, and the force was allowed to be
placed en other part* of the road especial
ly tbc westtrn end. The work of this
Division, is so fbr advanced that tb*
whole could be made ready for tbc track
as soon as expediency required.
There are about 10 miles, extending
from Linden Hell to Pan'a Furnace not
yet definitely located. There was a com
mittee appointed to examine the different
route* between these points, and report to
the Beard, but they have not yet made the
examination, the delay being caused in a
great measure by the inclemency of weath
er and bad traveling during the past win
ter and spring; and also ia consequence of
illness of one of the members. It is ex
pected. however, that th>y will seen per
form the duties assigned them, and that
that point of th* road will speedily be put
under contract, ami the work not being
heavy will lake but a short lime to finish
it. Tb* whole cost of this piece of road,
including the grading, masonry and

After e careful axensinelioe #f tb* work
of the year it is cheering to know that tb*
condition of our school* ha* beea steadily
advaaciag—indeed ia many districU quite
as rapidly as the meet sanguiaa could ex
pect, considering th* ma ay obstacle* ia
lbs way Tb* statistical; report herewith
sent fully indicate* the ceediliea of the
schools, 1 will refer, briefly, to e part of
it:
Hofexa. FuaviTvax. ArreaaTun, Ac

Rush X, Spring 1, Union 1, Walker 1 end
Xremodled in Mile*, making thirteen with
lb* latter Wilh the exception *f those ia
Miles, llainos end Union, thee* are ell
good houses end well arranged.
There are oe* hundred and seveoty-aev
*n (177) school hcuses, accommodating
two hundred end eight (288) schools, in
tb* county, of which one hundred end
fifty-six (168) nr* frame, thirteen (18)
brick, three (8) stone, end five (6) leg
There remain yet sixteen (10) which lam
obliged to report unfit for us*, situated a*
follows. Boggs I, Ferguson S, Harris 2,
Huston 2, Liberty 1, Marion I. Fetter 2,
Spring 1, Union 1, Worth I 1 sincerely
hope It may not become my unpleasant
duty to report these again at the close of
another yeer. This class of bouse* seems
to diminish slowly, for while new build
ings ar* being erected by the doxea, eth
ers nr* Calling into decay and becoming
antiquated. According to th* standard of
lb* Department there ar* net more than
forty (40) ft ret-class school bouse* ia U>*
county. Though frequently brought te
th* attention of directors, 1 am obliged
i still to report about fifty without suitable
'out buildings, and nineteen with injurious
' furniture. Directors, these things ought
1 not so to be.
I take pleasure io reporting two hun
dred and five <OA> scheol room* tolerably
well ventilated, though net mora tbaa 39
hsv# any special apparatus for this pur
pose. Kigbty-tbrae (IS) ara tolerably
well supplied with apparatus, while twee
-1 ty-four (94) are almost entirely without.
One hundred aad fifty (ISO) have outline
maps.and en* hundred aad fiftaea are "fur
nished with glebe*. Every sckaal should
at oace he furnished with map*. There
is much room far improvement ia the sur
roundings, grounds, etc.. but vary little
progress having been made ia this rasped
since last reported. There are but nine
teen school ground* ia the county that are
properly inclosed with e fence. Many of
our school houses are situated ia enteral
grove*, which at a vary triliag coat might
be mad# basustiful spots, giving new cna
tivea to meats! aad moral effort.
A number of new houses will be built
this summer. Work kas already beea
commenced oa the graded sckeol build
ings at Contra llall, aad Beelsburg. Di
rectors, ia building kousea, should ant be
governed solely by tba present waat ef tba
district, or in a few years they may find it
necessary la build again. Additional
rooms ara already needed at Anew Shoe,
and Lemoal, where single houses wars
built a year or two ago
SC HOOL*. There IN now two hundred
aid eight (308) school* ia tb# county, ifty
nins (60) of which art graded. Three
naw icbooU wara established during tba
year. Tba tcbooU of Pann Hall and

tional Primary established at Contra Hall,
wbila tba four in Burnside district, bithsr
to ra parted gradad. barn boon mar gad in
two ungradod echeeli, with a tans of oigbt

I would again aarnaitly rocommand tba
grading of schools in tba rural diatricta
wbararar tkaro ia lufflciant school papula
tion. lam satisfied this subjact has not
mat with tba conaidaration it {should re
ceive. Although wa bars mods fair pro
grasi, and cam para favorably in ibis re
spect with otbor rural districts of As Stats
—almost 39 par coat of all tba schools ia
tha county baiag gradad, yat thara is
much room for improvement. Every
ha ml at and daaaaly sattlad aaighhorhood
should have its gradad school, which
would naturally culminata in tha requi
sita aumhar of high schools. M Has town
ship has, for a number af ytars, eajeyed
ths sd vantages of such a school and Gragg
has racantly followed tha axampla; and
it is aarnastly hopad tha work may go on
■peed i ly till ovary district shall havo its high
school. Than only will our fraa schools
approilmat# what thatr founders design
ed. Grading ia specially recommended at
Julian Furnace, in Huston ; Marsh Creek,
and Wall see Run, in Hoggs ; Lemon t, in
Harris; Quay's, in Curtln; Farmers'
Mills, and Snow Shoe. Additional Pri
maries art needed at Beliefeate, Philips
burg, and Milasburg.
It gives ma pleasure to report that our
schools are all pretty well classified, all
the scholars of the same, or nearly tba
same advancement, being required to pur
sue a regular course of study This was
not accomplished without much labor, in
consequence of the hostility on the part of
certain parent! and acheless to soma of the
common school branches. A vary serious
hindrance ii the neglect or refusal of pa
rents to procure the neoeeeary heoka for
their children. A system of oral teaching
is resorted to in such cases. Perhaps oaa
of tha beat ladicatiens of progress is in
tbeincrsasad amount of oral instruction
givan. I bava constantly urgad this plan
of teaching, especially with beginners, and
have invariably found those classes most
successful ia which it was practiced.
AU the Hraneht* art now Everywhere
Taught.—Of these the much neglected
subject of Reading received particular at
tention. AU reading books above the
Fourth have been pretty generally dis
pensed with, except in the higher schools,
leaving but on# advanced class in a school
which received thorough drill at least
{thirty minutes in length, daily, instead of
dividing this time as heretofore, between
Fourth, Fifth, and often Sixth Reader
classes. A very common error whlob had
"to be met and corrected was tha practice
of parents and itachers gratifying tba In
ordinate desire af pupils for the Fifth
Header, whan they could barely compre
hend tba simple language of tha Third.
Vocal Music and Elementary Drawing
were taught during lntt session, for tha
lr*t limn in nil the schools, and with n de
gree of success that it quite encouraging.
In tb* Bellefente schools a special taacber
was employed for tbit purpose, who govt
dolly instruction in oil tbo grade*. Muoic

mooett of o doily block board drill, too or

tion, but in others roe I objects wore drown

every school in the county, Homo of,tho
, higher branch** wore pursued a* regular

taught in two, Algebra in thirty (AO) and
Natural Philosophy in twenty on*. Th*
Bible was read daily'a all. W* have dis
trict uniformity of Books, and have had
I no change for tevon yean, axcopt in Cur
tin, and mere 1 fear the change was im
prudent. Director* should allow no tam
pering with their selection*. Symptoms
|of this wtre noticed in Heifmonn, Boggt
and Pulton.
1 think tho ditclpiiao of th* schools hot
materially improved, teacher* hove en
deavored to avoid harshness end undue
| severity, etcept at * last retort, appealing
rather to th* tckolan' !**ne* of right, and
inculcating principle* of telf restraint
In gtnoral behavior, manners and moral*,
much improvtmont it manifest.

tho number of cbildroo aot attending

too high, but ia other* it it much too low. j
end in tb* aggregate makes over four

during th* yoar. Th* half of tboe* probe
jbly never attended school before. This,
l estimate does no* include those from 18 to
1 21 year* of eg*, who ar* engaged in tome
i regular employment, or learning trades.
Mo*l of the school* were vititodjrecvlarly
by parents, hut comparatively lew receiv

I think the schools of Bush, Burnside
aod Snow Shoe would be greatly Improv
ed by opaniag them through the summer,
instead of lb* winter. These districts are
sparsely settled, and the roads frequently 1
become impassable from drifted snow,
preventing many children from attending
wh* would go in tb*.summer. There ere
! still e few isolated spots in the county with
I children growing up destitute of school

tors is ceiled.

This was our seventh annual session, and
I am confident that ae ether agency in the
county has boaa productive of more gen
eral good to the school. It is a matter of
regret that our Stale Normal Scheol at
Lock Haven is so uaaocaeaarily delayed

which somewhat reduced the average
grade of the certificates. though the quali
fication of teachers was lathe maxim high
er. Twenty-eight Professional Certificate!
expired this year (first of June) by their
own limitation, leaving but ten valid ones!
in the county.
VmiTATlo*.—Every school ia the coun
ty was visited and examined once, aisty a
second lima, and a few that required spe
cial watching, a third time, making ia all
two hundred aad nighty visits, of which
one hundred and twenty-eight were made
with directors, te whom the various wants
of the schools warn pointed out Eighty
one directors, aad three hundred and thir
ty-two patrons met with me at these visits.
Many defects in classification, methods,
etc., were remedied, aad though my whole
time was devoted to this duty from the
opening of the schools ia November, until
their close, in April—se far as I could in
connection with the office work required,
and the County Institute— yet I feel like
commiserating myself on what was not ac
complished, for were this a Superinten
dent only duty, in a county like ours,
with over twe hundred schools promiscu
ously scattered ovs{ mora than a thousand
squaramilaaofterritory.it were impoesi
bfe for htm to exercise that clese and con
stant supervision which the wellfbre of the
schools .imperativly demands. Every
township should have its district superia
tendent, or, as before recommended, ad
joining districts employ one extra teacher
(not a director) for this purpose, for tTory
forty or fifty schools. The good of many
sehoels could thus almost be doubled, fer
while *U would be benefited, young teach
ers, who fail as often from misspent
strength as from lack of effort, particular
ly need watchiog, encouragement and
advice. It is also herewith suggested that
the Secretary of the Board inspect the
teachers' monthly reports more clotly, and
in cases where the regulations of the dis
trict are not carried out, give such instruc
tion as the case may require, kindly show
ing such teachers their faults, ana direc
ting them what course to pursue. In look
ing over Report books I have noticed the
meet glaring defects, yet fttlly approved
by the Secretary without a word of com
ment.
Our twenty tilth annual Institute was
held at Bellefonte, during holiday *rek.
It vai better attended than any previous
one, there being two hundred and thirty
flee actual member* in attendance. The
practical character of the exercises added
much to it* usefulness. The work wet
performed cbieflly by our ewn teacher*,
the only instructor* from abroad being
Proft. J. W. Shoemaker, and A. K. lior
ne. Much interact was added to the see*
•ien by the preeonce of the State Superin*
tendenb lion. J. P. Wickersham, whose
words of cheer will long be retnombered
by our teacher* and people. District In*
dilutee were held in four districts, though
in two of these the meetings were held ta*
dependent of the director*.
In the discharge of ofllcial duties 170 of*
ficial letter* were written, over I'JOU circu*
lan distributed through the mails, and
JH66 mile* traveled—laboring *27sdays.
Thanks to the many friends who have
aided me in the work.
