The Huntingdon Journal, Wednesday Morning, January 4,187 L READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.—The attendance upon the Teachers' Institute, last week, was much more numerous than heretofore and the citizens of Huntingdon appear to have taken much more interest than previously. It is very strange that so little interest is general ly felt, by the public at large, in these meet ings, but we are happy to know that this meeting has been better patronized than here tofore. The generality of people come to the conclusion that if they pay their taxes prompt. ly when called upon, they have discharged their duty to the System, and the Directors should employ teachers and run the schools without any further attention from them, and that all they have a right to do in the prem ises is to criticise what is done by those in au thority. They frequently think that qualified teachers ought to be employed for a mere song, the schools ought to be kept open six days in the week and eight or ten hours per day to make teachers earn their money. We frequently hear just such views expressed by people who ought to know better, and who ought to make it their business to understand the interests of both teacher and pupil and lend them all the aid in their power. Who are your school teachers They are your own or your neighbors' children, andof necessity they must be. There are a large number of schools to be filled; they are only kept open four months in the year at a miserly salary of thirty or forty dollars per month; of course professional teach ers, who have spent several thousand dollars in time and money to qualify themselves, can not be employel, only four months in the year, at such wages. It would be folly to suppose anything of the kind; then the only alternative is to convert the young men and young ladies at hand into teachers. They of necessity can not be perfect and they do not claim to to be. You know it and yet you desire your children educated at the least possible expense by them. You accept them from necessity and you want the most out of them you can get for the money. Now, how is it to be done ? Is it by putting an inexperienced young man, without the requisite qualifications, into your school and keeping him there from Mon day morning until Saturday evening hammer ing away without system upon your children, taking days to impart what an accomplished teacher would impart in a few hours ? Would it not be better to send him a week, paying him for his time, and, yes, you paying his boarding while there, to one of these meet ings to learn how to impart knowledge? Would It not be a good investment, if you did so, if he learned to impart knowledge to your children in a week that otherwise would have taken a month 2 Moat a.eeurodll it wyald._ Then you should not only attend these meet ings, which are generally conducted gratuit ously by qualified teachers for the benefit of their less fortunate brethren, but you should contribute liberally as a paying invest ment. You don't want your children to be block heads, far from it, and professional teachers are not to be had for the money yoc are willing to pay, then it is a fair business tranaction to get the most for your money, and if you can double the amount of benefit received by adding a few additional pennies to what you have already paid, it would be "penny wise and pound foolish" not to do it. We were only present, owing to the heavy pressure attending the getting up of the n t- CAL, on Wednesday evening, and we only heard the readings of Prof. Shoemaker, which ' was meant to entertain the audience and not so much for instruction. Yet it bore its les son. We were sorry that we were unable to attend the whole proceedings, but if we can get back to this subject in the future, we will try and say some things that will waken up old fogies and put some additional vim into school men. THE HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP RAILROAD.—The completion of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville and the Bedford and Bridge port Railroads will make a continuous line of road from Huntingdon, via Pittsburg, or via Cumberland, by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, to Washington, or Wheeling and Cin cinnati. Nor is this all. By the connections which we have just mentioned, all West Vir ginia, the Southern portion of the three great States lying on the north bank of the Ohio river, and Kentucky will find the most direct outlet to New York by this route. It must appear at a glance that the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad is assuming a very impor tant position in comparason with the position it has heretofore occupied. In other words Huntingdon is about to become the terminus of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad, through its connections, in Pennsylvania. Do the people of Huntingdon realize this ? Already we hear the mutterings of those interested intimating that a rival road will be built from a point at or near Spruce Creek, where it is supposed the Railroad from Lewis burg will tap the Pennsylvania Central, by way Williamsburg, up the Great or Morrison's Cove to Mt. Dallas and Bedford, and by this means divert the passenger travel from the Broad Top. Surveys, we have been informed, have already been made of this route and a proposition has been made to the Broad Top Company for a change of location of part of the old Bedford road from Piper's Run to ac commodate parties running a road from Hol lidaysburg, via Martinsburg, to the Old Lem nos Works in Hopewell township, Bedford county. If this arrangement should be made, and the Hollidaysburg road built, then to build a continuous line of road from Spruce Creek to Bedford would only be necessary to build the gap between Martinsburg and Spruce Creek, a distance not exceeding fifteen or twenty miles. This project, if carried out, must prove very dainaging to Huntingdon. Are the people of Huntingdon, then, willing to stand by and see the Broad Top road reduced to a mere coal and ore road? Especially since there appears to be without a rival road, such a bright pros pect before it? You will remember that the Broad Top road has been worth ten dollars to you in the aggregate to every one that the Central has, because the latter merely passes through without any special advantage save the accommodation in delivering and shipping freight, the transport ing of passengers and the keeping up of a sta tion or two, while the other has developed your ore and coal lands, and raised the prices from a mere song to handsome figures, and beyond this, your merchants and shop keepers have, for yeais, supplied almost exclusively the region developed by it, and you have grown rich off of Broad Top. It is your duty, therefore, to stand by this enterprise which has done so much for you, and for which you, we fear, have done very little in return. There is not a particle of doubt that it would be better for Huntingdon, if the Pensylvania Central controlled the Broad Top Railroad up as far as Bedford, and this would be entirely satisfactory to the citizens of Bedford, but be this as it may, the people of Huntingdon must resist a rival road, and if this cannot be suc cessfully done, then the Broad Top road, from Coffee Run south, must be re-located, or the great bug bear, the trestles, filled up. WE met an enterprising mechanic the other day who informed us that he had built the foundations for eighteen houses, besides building two entire brick residences in West Huntingdon, since harvest. It is said that seventy new buildings have been erected, be sides extensions, additions, Stc., in the last year. This looks like business. WHAT IS SAID ABOUT ADVERTISING.— There is no truer saying than that "sweet are the uses of adver—tisements. Blessed are they who do not advertise, for they shall rarely be troubled with customers. The New York Post says; “Advertising is the financial railway to success. It is an art possessed by few; but these few are the mer chant princes of to-day." An exchange says: "Trying to do business without advertiseing is like winking through a pair of green goggles—you may know that you are doing it, but nobody else does." And another: "You might as well attempt to shampoos the head of an elephant with a thimblefull of soapsuds as to attempt to do business and ignore printers' ink." That's The editor of the Massillon American means business. This is what he says : "Patronize those who patronize you is our motto. We shall deal and send our friends to deal only with merchants and business men who adver tise. We may be compelled to buy, some times, from those who do not patronize us, but only when we can't do otherwise." And yet another says : "A man who was too mean to advertise land he wanted to sell put a written notice in one of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring for a small farm was referred to the written notice: can't buy land at a fair price of any man who does his advertising in that way. He'd steal the fence, the pump handle, and the barn doors, before he gave up possession.' " The Chicago Tribune asks and gets $22,662 a column per year for advertising. The busi ness men of that city do not hesitate to pay that price, for the reason that every dollar thus judiciously invested will bring an income of at least five dollars. Those who advertise most are the most successful in business. TWENTY per cent. saved by buying your Dress Goods at Henry k Co. 2t. THE BEDFORD AND BRIDoEFORT RAIL ROAD.—The contractors on this road are push ing the gradings as rapidly as can be expec ted at this season of the year. Messrs. Lowry, Williams & Co., have a large force of hands employed on the eastern er d, on the opposite side of the river from Mt. Dallas, and expect to have their five miles graded and ready for the ties by the Ist of July next. Mr. Camp bell is also driving up the balance of the 7} miles, and will be ready for the ties by the same time, so that, if there is no delay occa sioned by the interminable litigation in which the whole subject is involved, the locomotive will run through from Huntingdon to Bedford by the 20th of July or the Ist of August next. By that time, if not before, the western end from Bedford to Bridgeport will be completed and the Huntingdon people will have a choice of routes to Pittsburgh and the great west. This is quite a favorable lookout for the Broad "r par.plo. No PAANS, No GAlNS.—Twenty per cent reduction. We offer our stock of Ladies', Misses and Childrens Furs at greatly reduced prices, Hamm & Co. 2t ROWDYISM.—The holidays zenerally bring with them a disposition to break over the bounds of soberness among a class of men who are disposed to indulge too freely when an opportunity presents itself, and Huntingdon appears not to be entirely free from the evil tendency of this disposition. On Tuesday night, the 27th ult., a number who will be dis pleased at being called rowdies, behaved very badly. They went about the town in squads, swearing and fighting like so many savages. Captain Whiskey was in command. LADIES', GENTS AND MISSES Artie, Buffalo and Gum Oyer Shoes, very cheap, at Henry & Co's. 2t. FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT —A M. 11. S. Krat, while attempting to cross the track at Barree station on Monday morning last was run over by a passing train, and instantly killed, his body being so shockingly mutilated as not to be recognized by his nearest rela tives. The deceased was an old citizen of that va cinity, and the father of a numerous family of young muskrat, who by this sudden and unex pected bereavement have been deprived of their natural protector. FOR SALE.—A One-Horse Basket Sleigh, very cheap by Henry & Co. 2t THE new dress in which the JOURNAL appears this week was purchased at the "L. Johnson Type Foundry," Philadelphia. The enterprising gentlemen at the head of that es tablishment, will accept our thanks for the splendid outfit which they were pleased to furnish us. Their establishment is the oldest and best in the United States. Down IN PRICE. -March & Bro. have mark ed all their goods down, in order to clear their shelves for the coming spring trade. Go there, if you want bargains. AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, for the new year, has arrived for delivery gratis by John Read to all who call for it.

It contains the announcement of the conflagra tion of a world, or the combustion of one of the stars in the firmament with all its atten dant planets. Merton & Bno.—Building !umber of all kinds, and of the best quality, at fair prices, and on liberal terms, at March & Bro's. SKATING.—The skating has been capi tal and the boys and girls, lads and lasses, have been enjoying it to their hearts content. It appears to be splendid "sport," splendid exercise, but for as it has always seemed a lit tle slippery ; we have generally experienced, on such occasions, a strong desire to lie down hastily, with as little grace as possible. It is a painfal subject to no. SHAWLS.—An elegant assortment of Sue Shawls just opening, at the cheap store of March & Bro. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.—Through the enterprise and energy of the School Directors, of Cassville borough, a new School Rouse has just been completed. The school is now in progress, and under the judicious management of our young and talented friend, Mr. Robert Griffen, is doing well. Fcus.—Ladies, did you see the Furs at March & Bro's ? They are very handsome, and so very cheap that every person can buy them. REPUTATION.—Wanamakcr & Brown are jealous of the reputation gained by their Ready-made Clothing, as the BEST that can be bought for money. They mean to make every garment not only sustain, but increase that reputation. A SPIRITED revival of religion is in progress in the Methodist Church, at Alexan dria. Quite a number have been forward for prayers, and some have professed conversion. Rev. Mr. Smith is the preacher in charge. ABRAM CRESSIVELL, Esq., of Peters burg, an old and respected citizen, we are sorry to learn, is lying in a very precarious condition from disease of the heart. ON Wednesday norning, the 27th ult., Mrs. John Myerly, of Union township, sister of Judge Clarkson, accidentally fell and broke her arm. RETROSPECTIVE.—A friend sends us the following reflections : "Once again, perhaps for you and I the last time, we are upon the close or beginning of another year. What are the thoughts that come upon us at this holy hour? Are they such as call us to think upon ourselves? Do we think to review the past year? Suppose we could have had a view on the first day of last year of all the joys, all the sorrows, all the successesoill the reverses, all the happy meet ings, all the sad partings ; would we have done just as we did do ? Would we have acted just as we did act? Would we have been the friends we are to-day? Nay, I cannot believe it. Are not some of the friends - of last year not our friends to-day? and are not some of our enemies then our true and lasting friends to day? Why this change? Are we to blame? are we to praise ? Now let us just for a mo memt look over the past year. There, I let drop an idle word—'twas but a word—and yet it severed two loving hearts. There, I gave credence to a slander. I said, I believed it, and on my word, a dozen of persons said the same. There, my lips uttered a falsehood,and my soul received a stain. There, I betrayed the secret counsels of a friend. There, I blas phemed the name of my Maker. We cannot do less, we cannot do more, than raise our eyes to Heaven and exclaim—God forgive I" MESSRS. P. M. & M. S. LYTLE, Attor neys for J. A. Hagerty, are authorized to ne relate for the sale of his Valuable Mill Prop erty, at Union Furnace, this county. Persons desiring to purchase, will do well to call on either of the attorneys or the owner.
