CLOSING EXERCISES OP TOE COUNTY NORMAL ScncoL.The Huntingdon County Normal School, located at Alexandria, Pa., closed its second annual term on Tuesday, August 18, 1871. There was about fifty students in attendance during the term, most of whom intend to teach in the county, the coining winter. We have already seen sufficient results to cause no to feel well satisfied with our sum user's work, and to warrant the assertion that the school has been a success. In commendation of our students, we arc glad to say that through their careful demean. or and their courteous conduct towards the citizens of Alexandria, they have now a high moral reputation in the community; and by their strict obedience to the regulations of the school and their willingness at all times to perform the duties assigned them, they have secured our highest esteem and warmest friendship. The closing exercises of the school took place on Friday evening at 8 o'clock. We were glad to have so many of our friends from the borough and vicinity with us to wit ness the exercises, and especially gratified with the presence of Prof. Gast, of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa. The following is the programme: Prayer, by Prof. Gast, Lancaster, Pa.; Salutatory Es say, "The Head and the Heart," Miss Beckie Patterson, Alexandria ; Recitation, "Green Ap ples," Mr. S. B. Hall, Alexandria; Eulogy, "John Quincy Adams," Mr.Wm.Crowel, Birm ingham, Pa.; Referred Questions, "which is the greater invention, the Steam Engine or the Sewing Machine ?" The question was answered first by Mr. P. H. Bridenbaugh, of Arch Springs, Blair Co., who argued that the "Steam Engine" is the greater invention. He was followed by Mr. D. 11. Knode, of Alexandria, who presented the c:aims of the "Sewing Machine." Declamation, "Voice of the Dead," Mr. J. W. McMahan, Neffs Mills, Pa.; Referred Ques tions, "which, has the greater curiosity, Man or Woman r Mr. J. B. Cutshall, of Dublin Mills, Fulton Co , Pa., opened the dies scion with a humor ous argument in favor of the greater curiosi ty of "Man." His opponent was Mr. W. Scott Wilson, of Shavers Creek, Pa. Oration, "Our Nation's Progress," Mr. S. H. Isenberg, McConnellstown, Pa.; Recitation, "The Drowned Child," Miss Rattle McDivitt, Alexandria ' Pa.; Valedictory Oration, "The Levelers of Society," Mr. N. P. Corbin, Hunt ingdon, Pa. The above persons who represented the school in the closing exercises were selected partly because of scholarly ability and liters ry acquirements, and partly because by their deportment they had won the Confidence and merited the approbation of the authorities of the school. . _ Without commenting on each exercise, I simply remark that all did exceedingly well for the amount of culture they have had and the length of time allowed them to make prpara tion. The closing remarks to the school was made by Mr. S. I'. McDivitt. In an address which I will not mar by epitomizing, he argued the importance of having pure and noble ideals of character as models for imitation, and of striving earnestly to reach these ideals. • '• We never rise higherthan our aspirations and hence the necessity of aiming high if we would have our lives result in anything good, noble or good. Ile aimed also to impress upon teachers the nobility of their work, cause them to properly appreciate its claims and responsibilities, and create in them a desire to attain higher litera ray and professional qualifications. The exercises were then - closed with the benediction, by Prof. Gast. It. M. McilEet. SMUCE CREEK AND FRANKLINVILLE. —The following notes of places in this county we cut from the Harrisburg Patriot : is a little village on the Pennsylvania railroad, in the Huntingdon county, right in among the big hills, with three or four stores, a mill and one hotel. Spruce Creek runs through it, ever which you may pass without toll. Little regularity is observed in the streets, and the architecture of the houses is not remarkable for great beauty. The church is only a small and plain structure, without ornament, but is used by an honest and devout christian peo ple. From the slight opportunities afforded us for forming acquaintances we should judge that the people are a hardy and happy class who did not envy their neighbors, nor strive after positions they cannot reach. A very flue religious influence is felt antoug them, and a good division of the Sons Temper ance is doing its work well. A ride of about four miles "up the valley by the side of the • little babbling brook," brings you to This is a mere hamlet, but is romantic in ap pearance, and the inhabitants are kind and intelligent. A couple of churches, a few shops of various kinds, two stores of small dimen sions, and a few unpretending dwellings coin prise the buildings of the place. They have no hotel, as no ardent spirits can be sold in the town, and temperance hotels are not very profitable, the morals of the people are good, and like other places of the same kind, there is a spirit of contentment and happiness among them beautiful to behold. Here a di• vision of Sons of Temperance is also at work, and doing the preventive office of the reform. A very remarkable cave is near this place, but the weather was too oppressive to invite an examination of its peculiarities. We were struck with the beauty of the scenery around, and the healthfulness of the inhabitants. Fur naces and kindred establishments are frequent among the bills along the valley of the Spruce Creek. _ _ It is good to breathe the pure are and drink the clear water of these mountain towns, and we were not anxious to see the dirty hack and lean horses coming to take us away. REMENISCENCE OF THE PAST.—Some forty-five or fifty years ago, there was a camp meeting held at what is now called the Old Taylor Camp Ground, near Cassville, this county. During the progress of this meeting, a colored woman came to Cassville, and was captured by a constable of the place, who supposed her to be a runaway slave, and that be might make some money in the operation. On Sabbath, before going to camp, he confined his prisoner in the garret of an did house near where Isaac Curfman now lives, in Trough Creek Valley, and also near to Cassville. But when he returned to sec hisprisoner, he was horror stricken to find that she had hanged herself to a beam of the rafters. This news was soon conveyed to the campmeeting, and hundreds went to see the horrible sight. An old gentleman that witnessed the scene, says that they bared her shoulders and breast, and he feels satisfied that he could not have put the point of his finger on her breast or shoulders without putting it on a scar from the whip. She proved to be a Virginia slave and chose rather to take her own life than be taken back to cruel bondage. Her master pursued her as far as Three Springs. There he heard of her death andturned back, fear ing no doubt, if he went on he might have to be at the expense of burying her. This is what slavery was fifty years ago. BURGLAR SHOT AND CAPTURED.—We learn that the public house kept by A. Leisher, in Hollidaysburg, was entered about two o'clock last Wednesday Morning by a burg lar, and robbed of a pair of pants, twenty dol lars in money, a gold watch, and several other articles. By some means Mr. Leisher was aroused and gave chase, and overtaking the thief a tussle ensued. Mr. L., being struck on the head with a jimmy returned the compli ment by sending a bullet through the rascal's shoulder from his pistol, when, after .another tussle, assistance coming up, he was secured and lodged in jail. The watch was secured But the pants containing the $2O in a purse was not—which leads to the belief that there was an accomplice in the job and that they were thrown out of the window to him.—Al toona Tribune. ON Satuaday week the barn of James H. Lyons, near New Enterprise, Bedford coun ty, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Mr. Lyons is an industrious colored man, and the loss falls heavily upon him. We are glad to know that the people of Morrison's Cove are showing their sympathy for their neighbor, a meeting having been held, on Tuesday evening following, and $llOO raised to assist him in rebuilding. Such actions are characteristic of the people of Morrison's Cove.—Press. A Mosr disgraceful scene occurred on the express train of the 11. & 13. R. It. on Sat urday night last. At Saxton three or four drunken rowdies got aboard the train and at once became boisterous to the great terror of several ladies, and the annoyance of the pas sengers generally. The appearance of the gentlemanly condudtor, Mr. John Rohm, we supposed would at once quiet these reckless specimens of humanity, but not so, they con tinued their noise and cursing. When remon strated with by Mr. Rohm two of them abused him by words and blows till "forbearance ceased to be a virtue" when he rang the bell, summoned his engineer and fireman, (there being no brakeman nor baggage master on the train), who seized the rowdies and ejected them from the car. It was only after the grosest insults that these cowardly villains were thus dealt with. We hope to see the officers ofjustice on their track and hear of them receiving the highest penalty of the law. Ought there not be a law prohibiting drunken men from riding on public convey ances ? ADVERTISING.—There is a class of per sons who imagine they are doing very judi ciously by advertising through the medium of circulars. They scatter a few thousand through the city, announcing their business, and await the result, fully convinced that in so doing they have taken all necessary prelim inaries to success. Various circulars are al most daily to be found on the doorsteps and in the entry-ways of respectable houses. Their fate is, generally, that they are either thrown into the street by the indignant servant girl who answers the bell, or summarily pitched aside by the man of the house who finds them when he returns house, and who desires no suggestions of new methods of lightening his purse. The use of circulars may, in certain limited cases, answer every purpose; but the vast majority of those who have made money by advertising have found that the columns of a newspaper are the best and surest, and in the end the cheapest, medium of communica tion between the business world and the pub lic.—Ex FIRE.—The dwelling house of Daniel Magahen, of MeConnellstown, this county, took fire, it is supposed, from the spark of an oil lamp, and burned to the ground about eight o'clock on last Sunday evening. A large por tion of the furniture and other valuables were consumed. There was no insurance. 31r.Maga hen is a laboring man, and by this severe loss is left without the means to replace his house. CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA A(;RICVL TITRAL SOCIETY.-The Third Annual Exhibition of this Society (formerly Altoona Park Asso ciation), will be held at the City of Altoona on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 1871. The grounds are the largest and most complete, and the driving course equal to.the best, in the State. The very liberal premiums offered by the Managers must command the attention and attendance of all parties rearing good stock, or interested in agricultural and other inventions. The following summary of pre miums will convey an idea of their magnitude: Thoroughbred horses $399 00 Roadsters B9 00 Horses for general purposes l2l 00 Draft horses lO5 00 Matched, driving and saddle horses GO 00 Jacks and mules 57 00 Thoroughbred, native and grade cattle 912 00 Sheep and swine 204 00 Farm and yard fowls 149 00 Farm implements l5O 00 And all other premiums to correspond. The speed premiums amount to $2,000, di vided into seven purses : One of $25 ; one of $4OO ; one of $lOO ; one of $5O ; one of $lOO ; one of $500; one of s2so—the whole making over $6,000 in premiums for the present sea- The complete success of former exhibitions of the Society, and the general_ satisfaction given, should guarantee a larger turnout this season than heretofore. Entries of blooded stock and valuable inventions are being made, and there will be beauty and diversity to look upon. Excursion tickets will be issued from all stations on the main line and branches of the Pennsylvania Railroad, from Monday until Friday, good for return trip on Saturday.

Sc M. It. R. LANDS.- The "Burlington Route," so called, lies right in the path of the Star of Empire. It runs almost immediately in the center of the great westward movement of emigration. Crossing Illinois and lowa, it strikes the Missouri river at three points. These three points are the gateways into three great sections of the trans-Missouri le gion. The Northern gate is Omaha, where the great Pacific road will take you to the land of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per petual summer. The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on the continent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are the B. & M. Railroad lands, con cerning Geo. S. Barris, the land officer at Burlington, lowa, can give you all informs tion, and i❑ the heart of them is Lincolii, the State Capital and present terminus of the road. The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con nections with the St. Joe Road at Ilamburg, running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City. The trains of the Btirlingtou run smoothly and safely, and make all connections. It run the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and Pullman dining cars, and should you take the journey for the journey's sake alone, you will be repaid; or take it to find a home or a farm and you cannot.find either better than among the 13, & K. lands, where you can buy on ten years' credit, and at a low price, tf.
