"Dr. Cbas. T. Price' and "Dr. T.

—On last Monday morning while
Willis Rishel, son ,-f John Ki-hel, v
hauling wood near Sinking creek mills
his horse floundered in a snow bank and
in attempting to extricate liiro, befell on
the boy dislocating his right arm, at the
elbow.
The other Joy we came scroti a !
man who seemed very urea.-y about
souiclbir.g, and it was *oi'n acertaineJ that
he had fears that Secblcr A Co., w< uld be
obliged to quit business if they continued ,
to fell groceries. and then he would ho at ;
a. loss lor another place where to buy and
save money. The man WAS told to be
composed—that Sechier A: Co., could
stand it at long he could— that they
wore on the host footing and made small j
profits and quick sale*. lie felt a little'
easier, but still to be fure of u good thing,
he at once went to Sethler k Co s., and
laid in an extra stock of their cheap and
lYesh groceries to provide fo emergencies.
A party of Gypsies camped in the
Fort woods laft week, and remained there
over the cold snap, in their miserable
tents. They say they were out in their
tents all this winter,—how they kept fr-m
freezing hard as stones is a marvel to in-,
when we think of the low canvass hovel
a- their only shelter. They seemed to have
weathered it right well, however, ni d tell
Us they never knew anything of sickness.-
Their horses, tied to trees, have the open
air for their stable, night and day. It all
appears hard—but if the gyps can stand it,
we can, but the poor horses, they cant
apeak to tell how they relish it.
DEATH or Mas. BLACK.—On Satur
day last, Mrs. Black, wife of Mr. B. V.
Black of this place, departed this life af
ter a brief illness. AVe sincerely condole
with Mr. Black in his bereavement. A
few months since he buried three little
children, #ll of whom died within three
weeks of each other. Now, by the death
of bis wife, be is left with a little boy—all
that remains of his once loving, happy
family.— Republieau.
TUK OLDEST IXHAMTAXT,"— Last week
we announced the death of John Kishel, a
highly esteemed old friend, who departed
this life in his 87th year. The deceased re
moved from Pennsvalley to this county
over fifty year? ago. His father, Adam,
and bis two brothers, William and Elias,
< all dead except the latter), removed from
Centre county about the sa-ne lime and
settled in the vicinity of Luthersburg.
where they raised large families, now scat
tered over half the Slates of the Union.
The deceased was our nighest neighbor,
in the days of our boyhood from 10 to 18,
and he delivered to us numerous lectures
during that time, when he would suspect
us for some game of mischief—(we were
just like most boys once)—for which we
did r.ot thank him at the time. Since
however, we have given him full credit
for looking after our welfare when we got
too tar away from home, us we sometimes
did. We think he was the oldest person
in Brady township. Mr. George Knurr,
Sr., near Troutville, may be his senior,
though we know not. Clearfield Jlrpuhli

DOES EDUCATION DIMINISH
CHIME
If it be true that a uiaie uie 'up. ical edu
cation diminishes crime, why is crime not | '
Je.-rea-ing in States and CWttUtU— *
where universal education ha- prevailed
for generations ? To our mind, a preeiae
and wii sh eked mind, without correct
moral endowment- is *. barren of good
results at the farm which i annually crop
ped by the owner without mixing any ma- i
nure with the toil. His plowing and sow
ing it well executed. He hat been pro
perly educated upon that point But the 1
vital part of his e lueation lias been over,
look .J. He has, in a great measure, ren- '
dered his farm worthless and made hiui- 1
self p or, because lie knew nothing about
the iriu*. of manures. The school lie
graduated at did not U.i,i, that I -son,
hence he knows nothing about thejetti. acy j
of that which would re-tore lii barren '*
•oil.
The uiind it iu-t like the soil. It must
be manure ! to yield a full crop of good
fruiU. The State can impart mechanical
Its-lint, read, write, -t- , but without the
moral (manure le--ion being Uutiit at the, '
same time, the pupil * education will prove '
a failure. The cost and the results tlowii g
from more mechanical common school ed
ucation, in our judgment, do not warrant :l
the people of this State to invest any more *
money in that experiment
AN e have been led to make these remark* i
by reading an article uj>n thi* subject,
which we clip from the Philadelphia Age. v
as follows ;
The friends of a Mate system of cmpul- 1
sory education tind their strongest -.rgu
luent in defense ot the imperative necesti- '
ty of such a iiio* eurenl in the a-sumed ' '
postulate tiiiit education liuen- r.me '
That is the ba-i* of ail laws upon the sub- ;
ject which are in operation in this country. I
It is declared that u people have the right ' I
to protect themselves from the effects and | i
cunsrquences of crime, uml us education ! 1
will do that, it follow* a- a matter of course ( 1
that they have a right to pass ai d enforce ' •
a compulsory plan >f education. Proven 1 I
tion of crime i.- as definite a function of !
legislation as punishment of offenders. 1
This is the position of tl.e advocates of a
system of compulsory education.
The opponents of the System, or rather '
of the reason assigned f>r the adoption o! |
a forced plan of education in a free coun
try, deny the postulate that education
necessarily decrci.es crime, and support
their side of the question with facts, fig
ures and strong arguments. Joseph 11.
Chandler, nn b >nored and esteemed citi
zen of Philadelphia, who has served on
Boards of Prison inspectors for years, and
lius devoted his life to that branch of du
ty, recently read a paper before the Sociul
Science Association in relation to the effi
cacy of education in the promotion of
morality and the prevention of crime,
lie narrated his experience as a student of
prison discipline, and expressed his firm
conviction, bated upon that experience,
that while education modifies the charae
ter of crime, it does little or nothing to
prevent it. He also declared that in his
judgment, it is the power of conciencc,
not that of the intellect, which rnut be
looked to for keeping men virtuous arid
upright. lie also added : "While in the
lowest order of crimes. I may have found
more unlettered criminals, I have the for
mer more amenable to gentle moral deal
ing than the Utter were." These were
Mr. Chandler's startling-points, anil he
supported them with statistics drawn from
the prison records <>f Philadelphia for the
last fourteen years. These figures show
that the j crcentages of cdu. atiun among
the people, and that the spread of learn
ing in the communisy lia-not diniin'shed
crime, either against persons or properly.
While Mr. Chandlers positions are
neither impregnable nor tin assailable,
still they arc ao supported as t claim the
eurnest and thoughtful attention of those
who favor using the power of the State to
force children into school and keep them
thereby the infliction f pains and pen
alties. Legislators upon this subject
should study carefully and conscientious
ly the real connection that i-xists in a
community between public education and
the general morals of the people. They
should arrive, if possible, at a true esti
mate of the influence of knowledge of a
purely literary character upon the moral
principles of those subjected to snch a
.system. They should ask the question,
could there not be a well-stocked mind, a
barren conscience ? In other words, the 3'
should get down to the starting-point of
this matter and satisfy themselves by the
best evidence possible, whether, in truth
and reality, education such as is impurted
at the present time, does of necessity de
crease crime. The subject is one of the
greatest importance, affecting the highest'
interests of the community, and should be
well settlevl before, action pf t, definite
character is taken in relation to compulse

A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE CON
FLICT WITH A PANTHER.
Last Friday night Mr. John K. Mar
kill, of Norfolk, St Lawrence county,
New York, returned home late, having j
been detained by n storm, and going out
somu timu after to csro for his team, un
just in the act of opening It is stable door
when lie was vi-i/.ed from behind by a pan
ther, which attempted to grapple his
thr at, nnd he was carried lo the ground,
falling on hi* back. So sudden WH- the
ntluck that for a moment Mr Markitl was
partly stunned, but quickly realizing his
danger he attempted lo draw his jack
knife, at tho saint! time culling loudly for
help. In the meantime the animal had
fastened his jaw* on the vide of It is vic
tim's neck ; but owing to the heavy col
lar of Mr. Mai kill's coat, which was for
tunately turned up, and a fur collar
around his neck, the animal's teeth did
not jiei.etrnti- the fi-,-h, although the pres
sure, a* described by Mr. Markill, was
such a* to almost entirely prevent his
brctahing llis alarm brought to liisn*-
i-istiiiice very soon a large anil ferocious
dog, which al once fastened on the throat
of the formidable foe. The nninuil then
turned on hi* new antagonist, and for a
moment a terrific buttle ensued After
a prolonged struggle Mr. Murkell suc
ceeded in conquering tlx- animal with a
pitchfork and the dog's help. The pan
ther measured from tip to tip seven feet
five nnd a half inches, was <>f a brownish
color with leg- rather short, hnt thick and
muscular.
