SCHOOL VISITATIONS.—Visiting the public schools of our town a few days ago, I was delighted with the evidences of ability to teach and govern, which were so apparent in each department, notwithstanding the crowded condition of some of the rooms. Parents should feel thankful for so wise a se lection of teachers. The Board of Directors were certainly fortunate in securing such a corps. The wisdom in Issuing a Principal to overlook and aid with counsel all the teachers of the school was apparent on the day of my visit. A very grievous offence had been committed by some boy. Suspicion rested on one as the guilty party. A note was sent by the teacher to the Principal, informing him of this fact. Ile immediately entered into a thorough ex amination, lest the wrong boy should be pun ished. The result was, that the guilty one was found in another room, and the first suspected boy was found innocent. I conclu ded, from witnessing that case, that parents may feel assured that their children will not he punished without the clearest evidences of guilt. All good citizens should sustain and encourage the teachers in their arduous du tities, then our schools will be a succss, and the rising generation prepared for the busi• ness and responsibilities of life. The above communication was handed in for last week's issue, but we desire to throw out a few hints, suggested by the tending of it, which will account for the delay until the present issue. Parents, do you ever visit the schools in which your children's immortal minds are be ing educated for weal or for woe? For a life of usefulness or a life of profligacy and folly, and perhaps, of misery ? Now, our experience would warrant us in saying, at least presum ing, that you do not. This is almost the uni versal experience. Of course there may be an exception here and there, but as a general rule, we mean. Why is this so? If you owned a thorough bred horse, and imployed the best groom in the land to train him, you would see him at least once a day. Ain't this so ? flow does it come, ther, that you will pay more at tention to a mere chattel than to your child upon whose proper training depends a life of happiness or wretchedness, and may be, crime? Would you think of putting the most accom plished nurse in the world, in your nursery without ever looking in to see how your child ren were being trained? You laugh at the simple question, and yet you do this very thing every day of your lives in not looking into the school room. Have you any idea what an effect a visit to school room will have upon all who congregate there daily? No you have not, make a trial of it and learn. The teacher will feel that he is expected to exhibit his finest accomplishments as an in structor, and he will give you the best he has "in the shop." If he does not feel so, and goes though the dull monotonous recita tions, as dead as a stone, he is not fit for the place, and the Directors should so inform him and act upon the information. But the teach er alone does not feel the importance of the visit; the pupils catch up the inspiration and try to appear to the best advantage, and they invariably do. Let us relate a little incident and we have done. A father one afternoon lounged into a school room, more because lie had nothing else to do than for any other rea son. A class in which was a little daughter, who was a little dull and apparently not over sensitive, was called. She was at the foot of the class. A few minutes after recitation commenced, the little girl burst into a fit of grief as if her heart would break. On anxious inquiry she ejaculated between sobs that she was "foot I" llermortification was so great at being seen by her parent in that place of demerit that she would have given anything in the world for relief. Parents, look into the school room and see who is "foot l" CHEAP 011E—INON MEN COME TO ITUNTINGDON.-Some weeks ago the Pittsburgh Commercial contained the proceedings of a meeting of thirty-one representatives of forty eight blast furnaces in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, held at Sharon, to consider the interests 3f their business. The object of the meeting was announced to be "to take into consideration the best means of obtaining a reduction in the prices of Lake Superior ores, dock up, lake and railroad freights, labor at furnaces, etc., so as to produce pig iron at less cost in order to meet competition." It was said that "unless they can secure a considera ble reduction in the cost of ore and labor at the furnaces, they will have to be run (if run at all,) as they now are without profit to the owners." This was confirmed by Mr. C. H. Andrews, who said that not over four or five of every twenty furnaces in the Monongahela Valley are making any money. Here iron men are making fortunes, because all the ore, fossil, hematite, pipe, etc., coal and lime-stone are found within a distance of a few miles, immediately upon the railroad. Gentlemen, if you want to manufacture iron, come to Huntingdon. Here you will have no heavy prices to pay for hundreds of miles of transportation, but every thing will be at your hands, and, if you connot make money, at the present prices, the town of Huntingdon will agree to refund all the money you invest at this place. Ores are transported from here to Danville and other points, and, if money is made upon them, after heavy freights,. surely money can be made here. A SINGULAR DETECTION.—Some half a dozen years ago, a gentleman residing in Blair county, carefully concealed, in an odd nook, beneath his counter, where he thought no other eyes than his own were likely to penetrate, a $5O interest bearing treasury note, before doing so, howeyer, he, as was his custom for many years, wrote his initials on one corner of it. Some six weeks or two months thereafter, be was standing in the store of a neighbor, when a young man walk ed in and asked the store keeper to change a $5O interest bearing note. The store keeper had not sufficient change, when the gentleman above mentioned offered to make the change anxious to secure that kind of money. The young man hesitated alnoment and then hand ed him the bill. The gentleman took it to his residence to get the amount of change neces sary, and as he passed Llong he examined the note closely, and be was surprised to find his initials upon the corner of it. He remember ed that he had put such a bill away for safe keep, and that he never allowed any szch a note to pass out of his hands. On examina tion he found that his secreted note had dis appeared. He inquired of the yonng man where he had procured the bill, he gave the name of a neighbor with some confusion. Af ter close interrogation he ackowledged the then. He with several other young men, left the county according to agreement, and to this day no one, save the owner of the bill, knows who committed the larceny. A HORRIBLE DEATH—A Man's Head Torn Off.—On last Friday one of the most hor rible deaths that it has ever been our lot to record, occuried at North Point, Bedford county, at the "Old Scott" Colliery, worked by Richard Langdon, E,q., of this place. Philip Chamberlain, a relative of Harry Cham berlain, of the Franklin House, in this place, was ascending the shaft in the car, and it is supposed, that his head struck the frame in which the car works, and his neck caught upon a pin. His head was instantly torn from his body and remained transfixed to the pin while the headless body fell to the bottom of the shaft, breaking both legs and one of his arms. When the head was discovered it was fast on the pin, with eyes wide open, staring, apparently, at those who gathered around, and the man whose duty it was to attend below was paralized when he discovered a headless body lying before him. It was one of the most shocking and terrible accidents which has ever occurred in that section and cast a horror over the entire coal region. Chamberlain was an excellent young man and was loved and respected by all who knew him. PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE BOROUGH COUN- ClL—Present, Chief Burgess, Mr. Elliott. Asst. Burgesses, Messrs. Africa and Murray. Council, Messrs. Port, Leister, Miller, Strick ler, Henry, Carmon, Schaffer and Jackson. The minutes of the last stated and special meetings were read and approved. A petition of 31 citizens of the borough paying the opening of Spruce street, from Muddy Run east ward to the Warm Springs road, was read and referred to the committee on streets. A petition of 12: , citizens of the borough, praying the passage of An Ordinance com pelling owners of property within the borough to number their residences, places of business, &c., and also changing the present names of cross streets to numerals, Ist, 2d, 3d, &c., was read, and on motion, was referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. Africa, Strickler and Henry. Mr. Africa, from the special committee ap pointed at the last stated meeting to draft a bill to regulate the sale of coil oil, gun pow der, &c., reported "An Ordinance relating to the storage and sale of Petroleum, Gun Pow der, &c.," which was read, considered, blanks filled, and adopted; and on motion, the rules in relation to said bill were suspended and it was read a second and third time, and passed finally. On motion, of Mr. Henry, it was Ordered, That the said Ordinance shall be printed in hand bills, and twenty-five copies thereof posted in public places in the borough. The Chief Burgess stated that in compliance with a resolution adopted at the last stated meeting, he had written to aA. J. Whitney, Resident Engineer of the Pennsylvania Canal Company, relative to keeping the water in the level in this borough, during the winter sea son, and had received in reply a letter front that gentleman in which he states that he had given directions to comply with the request of the Cour cil. The letter of Mr. Whitney was then read and ordered to be filed. Mr. Strickler, on behalf of Graffus Miller, Esq., presented, for the use of the Council, a copy of the map cf the borough, when, on mo tion, of Mr. Africa, it was Resolved, That the thanks of the Council be, and are hereby tendered, to Mr. Miller, for the map now presented. On motion, of Mr. Port, it was Ordered, That a lamp post shall be erected on Hill street, at the crossing of the waste race of Fisher k Son's mills. On motion, of Mr. Jackson, the Council pro ceeded to the consideration of the Ordinance for the opening of a street from Hill to Wash ington street over the Court House grounds. Mr. Africa, moved that the Ordinance he postponed indefinately. On this motion the yeas and nays were required, and were as follows : Yeas—Messrs. Africa, Carmon, Henry, Mil ler, Murray and Strickler,-6. Nays—Messrs. Jackson, Leister, Port and Schaffer,-4. So the motion was agreed to. Bills were read and orders granted as fol- lows : A. It. Stewart & Co., hardware, $ 8 18 J. Simpson Africa, Surveying Cemetery and laying out lots, 23 00 J. Simpson Africa, grading streets and pavements, 21 50 Huntingdon Gas Company gas for Jan uary, 1871, 28 60 Check Roll, Street Commissioner for January, 4 50 Total Adjourned, CHURCH DEDICATION.—The Sunday School-Room of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Bedford, was dedicated, on last Sunday. The morning sermon was preached by Dr. R. L. Dashiel, President of Dickinson College, from Jeremiah 3, 27: "It is good for a man that be bear the yoke in his youth." The Doctor appeared to be in one of his hap piest moods, and he carried away his audience with frequent bursts of eloquence, that opened up the fountains of tears, and they flowed copiously. It was a very successful effort and the subscriptions came down very liberally, for Bedford. We like the medicine the Doctor dispenses, and we hope we may have an op portunity, ere many months, to meet him again. Dr. Dashiel was assisted by Dr.llamlin and .Revs. Wilson and Akers, and the pastor in charge. The Trustees concluded that $2500 would meet all the present demands upon them—and the sum was raised, very good naturedly, and everybody appeared to enjoy the giving. The Church edifice is one of the most hand some and best arranged in Southern Pennsyl vania. It has been erected under the imme diate supervision of the Rev. A. W. Gibson, the pastor in charge, who is entitled to the major part of the credit for this fine structure. He has given it every attention from the day that the first pick was put into the foundation, until the last piece of timber that has been placed in the spire. With a practical eye that would do credit to a master architect, and a taste that is only satisfied with the most fasti dious neatness, hew could the structure fail, under such circumstances, to be anything bat a piece of fine architecture. He is the right man in the right place. Mr. Gibson has, as a minister, a high appreciation of his calling; in the pulpit, in the family and on the street, he is always the minister, and we admire him for keeping up the dignity of his profession. We hope that he may live to finish the splendid edifice which he has labored so ardently and so zealously for the last year, to erect. We love to gve give credit where credit is due. NEwsrapEns.—The Cleveland Herald makes the following truthful observation con cerning country papers, and the duty of giving them wholesome support. The local paper is an absolute necessity to the country and community where it is pub lished. All the city papers cannot supply the place of the home paper. That should be the love of every man and woman, for which the paper is the locality identified. The paper gives the county and town where printed much of their importance in the world, and gives in detail the local news which cannot be gained by any other source. Every day's issue is so much local history, and the rise, growth and development of the town and country can be measured and recorded only by the local news paper that is constantly gathering its items . People do not appreciate their home newspa per. They measure the value of a paper too much by the number of columns it contains. The home paper any price is the cheapest pa per one can take, for in it is found the infor mation to be obtained from no other source. Another thing to be taken into considera tion. Every county has one or more newspa- pers—Hence, circulation of each paper must be limited. There is therefore the greatest need of activity and interest on the part of the people to give their own good paper, vigor ous substantial support. W00t..---The fact must never be lost sight of, that Wanamaker & Brown make up only all wool goods. The low prices at which they sell, have led some people to think that there must be some cotton in their materials. But this is not so. "All-wool" goods at "cotton prices" is the rule at Oak Hall. FOR BABA:lams in Groceries, Provisions, &c., &c., go to Glazier & Bro., who have just re ceived a fresh assortment, which they will sell reasonably. Dried Peaches, Beans, Peas, Hominy, Canned Fruits, Cranberries, &c., &c. Their winter Dry Goods, Heavy Kip Boots for men and boys, will also be sold at reduced prices to make room for Spring and Summer Goods. SENT ENCED.—George Killinger, con victed of perjury at the recent session of the Blair County Court, was on Thursday last, sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary. Before pronouncing the sentence, his Honor Judge Taylor, addressed the prisoner as fol lows : You are before us convicted of the misde meanor of wilful and corrupt perjury. It is a misdemeanor, it is true, which is not preva lent, but one of the gratest and most mis chievous crimes that could be committed, and, although called a misdemeanor, in the statute providing for the punishment, the penalty which is attached to it shows the estimate the law places upon the enormity of it. Any one can see the mischievous effects of false swear ing, when an oath is judicially administered. Questions affecting the right, and property and liberty, and even the life of every one who may be brought into a Court of Justice, de pend upon the truth or falsity of the witnesses who are to testify in the case, and a corrupt false witness may swear away, the liberty and life, not to speak of the property of his fellows. Allow this offense to be treated light ly, and to prevail, and where is the security that any one has, or can have, that justice in any case, will be administered in any court . If there is any offense that ought to be regard ed as odious, by whatever same called,— That ought to be punished with the utmost severity, it is the crime of perjury and in this light the law views it. If any person shall wil fully and coruptly commit perjury in the vari ous modes specified, embracing every imagin able way in which perjury may be committed, where an oath is lawfully administered, it is declarded by the statutes that every person so offending shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and on conviction of the same, shall be fined not exceeding $5OO, and undergo an imprison ment, by separate and solitary confinement, at labor, for a term not exceeding seven years, and shall be forever disqualified from being a witness in any suit in controversey. Such is the terrible penalty which, the law imposes, justly and properly, for this high crime, and of this crime you stand before us convicted. The verdict of the jury fixes your guilt, and we would not be at liberty to question it. You remember that you deliberately subscribed to an oath, in which you accused others with be ing guilty of high crimes, and when they were arraigned before the Court, charged wills these crimes, you came before this Court, and, in the face of the Court, not only acknowledged but swore, after the oath had been administer ed again, that your statement was false. This high and horrible crime could not possibly be more clearly made out, and,-indeed, there could scarcely be presented a case in which it would be more aggravated. You either swore to what was false when you made that affidavit, or you swore what was false when you swore that that was false. If the first, you done, it for the purpose of falsely accusing others of a high crime, and your offense had that aggra vation. If you did it in the second instance, it was for the purpose of shielding the guilty from punishment. You committed it, or swore you committed it, for one or the other of those purposes, either to accuse innocent parties, and fix upon them the guilt of high crimes, or for the purpose of defrauding the law, and charging the innocent by screening the guilty. In either view of it your offence was aggrava ted, and you are guilty of a high crime, with these dark shades of aggravation. The only aspect of the case that pleads for you, is your youth, and perhaps your ignorance; but, whenever one is convicted of this offense, so clearly made out, and so aggravated in itself, it is our duty to make an example of him to every one that is called upon to take a solemn oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," when the rights of his fellow citizens ; when the liberty, and it may be the life of one of his fellows is at stake ; when the purity of the administration of jus tice is at stake; when everything that we val ue is at stake, it is but right and necessary that an example should be made, and that the records of every Court should proclaim the warning in distinct terms, to everybody,— commit this high offence at your peril ! It is our duty to impose upon you the sen tence prescribed in the statute, without dis cretion. I feel that we are treating you with lenience in the sentence we are about to pronounce; and I may say to you that you that you are indebted for the leniency of it to my associates, and not to me, although 1 pity you, as I pity any one who has de graded himself to the point you have, by commission of this high crime. Geo. T. Morrow, convicted, on second tria of the larceny of a watch, in Altoona, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the county jail, less one day. $95 78 IMPORTANT ARRANOEMENTS.—With in the past few months the Pennsylvania Rail road Company has succeeded iu making impor tant arrangements, whereby it secures control of the Philadelphia St Trenton and New Jersey Central Railroads, completing the route to New York city. This has been secured by a guarantee to the stockholders, of the roads named, of annual dividends equal to those heretofore declared, and the expenditure, by thePenn'a. R. R. Co., of several millions of dollars in improving the harbor at Jersey city, on the Hudson, opposite New York. The Newark Courier says that over six thousand feet of warfage will thus be obtained, and a large portion of the shipping of New York harbor will find its future accommodation on the Jersey side of the Hudson. The control of the roads above named and the improvement of the Jersey city harbor were rendered necessary for the accommoda tion of the vast business which the Penn'a. R. R. expects to control from the Union Pacific Railroad, in which it has secured a heavy in terest, and also from the South, by way of the new rout through Kentucky, crossing the new bridge over the Ohio, at Cincinnati, which was mainly built by the Penn'a. R. R. The stockholders of the New Jersey roads have yet to vote on the arrangement, but it is presumed they will almost unanimously en dorse it. Taking all these connections of the Penn'a. It. R., it will at once be seen that it has con trol of the most important routes in the coun try, and the traffic of the road must be very materially increased within the next year.— Altoona Tribune. ATTENTION, MARKSMEN.—TLe "Sec ond Annual Rifle Tournament" of the "Hun tingdon Rifle Club" will be held at this place on Wednesday, 22d February. Two valuable prices of "Silver Plate" will be given away as first and second prizes. The shooting will be done at sixty yards off hand, ten shots to a string. one trial only al lowed each marksman. No entrance money is required, the prizes being the annual present of the club for good rifle shooting. Marksmen from a distance are especially invited. The prizes are free to all, come and take them. All persons wishing to compete will please notify either by letter or otherwise. THOMAS C. FISHER. Tux Bedford Inquirer is obliged to us for informing it that Bedford county will be one hundred years old on the 9th of March next, and for this interesting piece of local news it will in return inform the"JounNAL that Huntingdon county was formed from a part of Bedford in 1787. We hope that by the time the county is a hundred years old, ye ancient borough, the county seat, will have both wat er works and a town clock like Bedford. They will greatly facilitate business and add to the comfort of the editor of the JOURNAL." Thank'ee , we hope 90 ! HUNTINGDON has no town clock and the editor of the JOURNAL ha 3 no watch; the consequence of all this is that things don't work together : Sometimes the editor is be hind time and at other times the town. Things can't go on at this rate long. Huntingdon must have a town clock, otherwise there is no telling what direful consequences may ensue. —Bedford Inquirer.
