of the JOURNAL.
On Wednesday, of last week,L. S. Geissing
er was admitted to practice in the several
courts of Huntingdon county. Mr. Geissinser,
we learn, passed a very creditable examina
tion, and bids fair to make a. successful law

fees.
The friend who sent us, last week, the item
giving the precise location of a few of the
leading MU of Saulsburg, requests no to say,
that he was notpoking fun at any of the small
er suburban towns, such as Huntingdon, Al
loons, &c., so that the noodle who thought it
was soft can rest his soul in peace.
One day last week, while the fire company
were exercising with the new steamer, at the
Exchange Hotel, some scoundrel entered the
basement story of the building occupied by
Broad Top, and set fire to a large lot of waste
paper. Fortunately it was discovered and
promptly extinguished without much damage.

Brown, of the Clarion Atmocrat, relates the
following: A singular incident occurred at
Spruce Creek, Huntingdon county, where we
were visiting last week. A large bald eagle
attacked a wild turkey, and killed it in a field
in front of the house ; bat before its flesh was
torn to any extent a person who saw the affair
frightened the eagle away and thus captured
a turkey, which made a fine roast.
From the Bedford Inquirer we learn that
"on and after Jan. 13, 1873, the Huntingdon
& Broad Top Railroad will carry coal and oth
er freight over its line daring, the day and
leave a clear road at night for the Pennsylva
nia Railroad to carry coal trains. In this way
it is expected that they will be able to carry
1,200 tons o' Cumberland coal every twenty
four hones instead of 500 tons as heretofore."
Col. Jobs S. Miller, of the Exchange, and a
Mr. Kerr, of Philadelphia, wore thrown frnm
a sleigh, en last Friday night, in front of the
Washington House., and badly bruised and
otherwise hurt. The immediate cause of the
occident was owing to the breaking or loss of
a pin holding the Longue to the sleigh, which
caused the latter to run to one side egairst
post, upsetting it and frightening the horses,
causing the them to ran away.

Cot:la APFAIRS.—The. cases ou the
eivii 4iat, for the fir.A week, having all been
continued, but little was left to dispose of ex-
Coptthe criminal list, which, by the action of
Ithe Grand Jury, and other means, was nar-
I rowed down to an unusually small amount.
In the Sessions, Henry Hess plead guilty to
a charge of selling liquor without license, and
was sentenced to pay a fine of $5O and costs
of prosecution.
Elizabeth Shank was indicted on surety of
the peace, on oath of William Stewart, for
threats made against the life of the complain
ant, and was held in a recognizance of $lOO to
keep the peace for one year. The defendant
was, however, re-incarcerated for want of the
necessary stamps to pay the costs.
A demented-looking individual, answering
to the name of Patrick Highland, was before
the Court on complaint of Mrs. Walker, of
Portstown, for entering her house, in her ab
sence, and presenting himself at the door, on
her return, in a threatening attitude, brandish
ing a huge knife. He seemed unable to give
an intelligible account of himself, and was
remanded for a further hearing.
In the Oyer and Terminer, William J. Henry
was arraigned on the charge of committing a
rape on the person of Mrs. Nancy J. Shawley,
in West township, some time in October last.
The prosecutrix testified that the defendant
entered her house, in the absence of her hus
band, and committed the outrage on her per
son, but the information Was not made till
about a mouth after the offense was alleged to
have been committed, and the defense con
sisted principally in the fact that the prosecu
trix had not, as she was required, divulged
the fact to nuy one for so long a time, and a
large number of witnesses were summoned on
both sides, to testify in regard to the charac
ter of the parties. The jury, after remaining
out during the most of tile afternoon and
night, returned a verdict of guilty.
John W. Randolph was arraigned for the
same crime, perpetrated on the same individ
ual, and within a few days of the same time.
The evidence was about of the same character,
except that an alibi was sought to be estab
lished on the part of the defendant, with at
least some degree of success. The jury in
this case, after a short absence, returned a
verdict of not guilty.
The parties, in both cases, lived at the time
of the alleged offense, in the same neighbor
hood, and are all married, with families. Some
fifty witnesses were examined in each case,
consisting almost entirely of citizens of the
immediate vicinity. In the case of Henry a
new trial has been applied for.
Court adjourned on Wednesday afternoon.
AN OUTRAGEOUS IMPOSITION UPON
Tax-revErts.—An act was passed in 1867
entitled en act "for the protection of wild tur
keys and squirrels, and for other purposes, in
the county of Huntingdon," the sixth sec
tion of which contains the following provision
"That for the purpose of further protecting game
and ins.ectiverous birds, whenever any person, af
ter the passage of this act, has killed any fox, wild
cat, pole cat, hawk, or owl, within said county, and
produced, in the ea, of a fox, or wild cat, or pole
sot, the scalp, and iu the case of a hawk, or owl,
the scalp and the exact measure, from the extremi
ty of one wino to the extremity of the other. before
any justice of the pence in and for said county, it
shall be the duty of said justice to examine such
person, on oath, or affirmation, touching the time
when and the place whore, such fox, wild cat, pole
hawk,cat, :awk, or owl, was killed ; and if the same shall
be found to have been within said county, it shall
be the duty of the said justice to give an order to
the treasurer of said county, for the sum of two dol
lars for each and every scalp of a full grown fox,
or wild eat, and for the suns of one dollar for each
and every scalp of a fox, or wild cat less than full
grown, and every hawk, or owl, exceeding three
feet from the extremity of one wing to the extremi
ty of the other, and the sum of fifty cents for each
and every pole oat, and every hawk, or owl, lees
than three feet from the extremity of one wing to
the extremity of the other; and it shall be the duty
of the treasurer to pay the amount of such order."
This section was found to be oppressive and,
in 1869, it was repealed, but, not having the
pamphlet laws at hand, (and by the way, they
should always be furnished to the printing of
fices where such legislation as pertains to the
county could be found and given to the peo
ple) we suppose, that it was re-enacted in 1870.
In consequence of this the county has pal d
during the year 1872 over $4OOO ! fer this kind
of trash.
Here is just what the county has paid for,
viz :
22 Wild Cats 0, $2 per scalp S 44 00
784Pozes " " " "
351 Owls " " " "
832 Hawks " " " " ...... 832 00
3130 Pole Cats " 50c'
Tax-payers, look at this! $4,390 for nothiag !
Was there ever a more deliberate outrage ?
Such farming and such imposition ! ono fam
ily in Harm township was paid for 503 polo
cat scalps—s2sl.sol This lawwas extended a
few years ago, to Bedford county, and one in
dustrious, honest citizen subsisted a whole
family, one whole winter, upon dile premiums
of a single skunk He cut it up into bits and
doled it out from week to week. We suspect
the same thing has been done here.
We hope our representatives, at Harrisburg,
will have the law repealed before the is
sue of our n&rt paper.

THE PORTER TOWNSHIP CASE.—DII
- the present term of the Court a decree
was made in the case of the School District of
Porter township against Robert A. Laird,
Treasurer and Collector of school taxes, thus
bringing to a final close a long and exciting
contest. The decree is as follows :
"It having been agreed by the parties to this
ease that the Court should pass upon and decide
all the matters in dispute between said parties and
make a final decree thereon without awarding is
sue, &r. Now, January 13, 1873, the Court, upon
full consideration of the testimony, concur with J.
R. Simpson, Auditor, as to his finding of the foots
in his report filed, and therefore approve and con
firm said report and finding of a balance, 1,0 wit:
$1,798.33 against the said Robert A. Laird, on
which balance the said Robert A. Laird is entitled
t o a credit of '5.133.86. It is further ordered and
directed, that judgment thereon be entered against
'him, the said Robert A. Laird, in favor of the said
township of Porter, for the amount so found to be

one -h a lf t h e cos t, of litigation: Further, said
township and its officers having been negligent
and careless in the transaction of the public busi
ness connected herewith, equally with said Robert
A. Laird. it is but proper that said township should

CONFLAGRATION AT HOLIDAYSBURG.
—The Standard Office Badly Damaged.—About
eight o'clock on Monday evening last fire was
discovered issuing from a buildeng owned by
James Lovett and occupied by H. L. Bunker
as a meat market, Allegheny street, Hollidays
burg. The fire originated on the first floor
and soon communicated with the second story
of the building, and despite the efforts of the
fire department which had promptly respond
ed to the alarm, the flames soon spread to an
adjoining building, owned by James Bingham,
occupied on the first floor by Goldman's cloth
ing store and McCoy's grocery store, and on
the second floor by the office of the Standard
and Dr. R. W. Christy. The roofs ,of both
buildings were burned off while the building
adjoining on the corner, owned by a man
named Wolf and occupied by the post-office,
was partially burned.
Goldsmith's stock of clothing, McCoys stock
of groceries and the material in the Standard
office were greatly damaged by the water.
After the flames had been subdued the office
of our sprightly cotemporary presented a pret
ty mess, as might reasonably be expected after
a stream from the Phoenix engine was per
mitted to have full scope therein. The floor
was covered with water, almost all the type
in the cases and that set up for the paper had
been pied, and nearly all the files destroyed.
The Register of last week gives the losses
as follows : Trough, sBoo—fully insured,
McCoy, s2oo—insured, Goldman's loss in
damaged goods amounts to ssoo—insured,
Bingham's loss, V6oo—frilly insured, Wolf's
loss, slso—insured, Lovett's building was
injured to the amount ofslso—not insured.—

A BIG THING.—A Fire Engine Throws
Five Hundred Feet Through an Inch Nozzle.—
We were in Huntingdon on last Saturday
week, when they were trying the new steam
fire engine. We did not have time to go up
to where they were at work, but after we had
taken the ears we obtained all the information
we wanted, in relation to it, from an enthusi
astic Huntingdonian, who had seen how it
was himself, with his own eyes, and knew all
about it. Ho said that on a dead level she
threw fifteen kindred feet. We think he said
she throw from Fisher's mill to the Exchange
Hotel, and that she had cost twenty-eight thou
sand dollars. He said the Baptist church stee
ple was three hundred and fifty feet high, and
she had cleared that by over a cool five hun
dred feet. Here wo ventured the assertion
that wo had never known au engine to throw
over three hundred anti--, but before we
could finish the number of feet, or give the
size of tho nozzle, he turned upon us such a
comingled look of scorn, contempt and pity
at the expose of our own ignorance, that we
at once wilted down, and felt, not only ex
ceedingly cheap, but young, amiss if we could
have crawled into that inch noz,sle ;and caused
us to rebel in our minds against the fates for
having switched us elf upon the tip top of the
the Allegheny mountains, where we never see,
nor hear, nor know anything. From that
time until we reached Tyrone, we hardly
dared to move; if we did, again that dreadful
eye would be turnedupon us instanter. After
we got home and retired the "big thing" kept
on annoying us; and all night long we dream
ed of "high steeples," "Huntingdon," "steam
fire engines," etc., and we kept holding on to
a large size pipe in the vain endeavor to throw
over Huntingdon's big squirt.—Oreeola
MCKILLIPS RETIRES FROM THE
SUPSRIXTENDENCY Or THE H. at B. T. M. R. R.—
Mr. John McKillips, after a Superintendency,
covering almost a decade,retires from the Hunt
ingdon and Broad 'fop Mountain Railroad, and
George F. Gage, Esq., late of the Columbia
and Reading Railroad, takes his place.
Mr. McKillips came to the road when it was
without character and run at a loss, if we are
not mistaken, and at once changed the entire
systeth of management; reduced its employees,
reduced its expenses in a thousand different
ways, and in a year or two worked it up to a
paying basis. During his Superintendency the
tonnage boa more than doubled as have the
receipts, while the expense has far from kept
a proportionate advance. He has constantly
done the work of two or three ordinary men,
and with the increase of labors be has contin
ued to be equal to the emergency. Wo are
sorry to part with one who has ever been kind
and generous to us, but after the many
years of care and trouble it is well that he
should have some rest. We wish him prosper
ity in his retirement, and hope to hear, in a
short time, that he has been the recipient of
higher honors, if there are any, and more sub
stantial pecuniary reward.
His successor comes with a ripe experience,
and will "push things," no doubt, to the satis
faction of all those who have business to
transact with the company.
A BOY KILLS A WILD CAT WITH A
STONE. —A boy named Patrick McGinley, aged
about thirteen years, and son of Michael
McGinley, living in the vicinity of Kittanning
Point, says the Altoona Tribune, while on
the mountain on New Year's day, discovered
a wild animal of some kind in an old sheep
pen, and picking up a stone he advanced with
in a few feet of it and threw at it, striking it
on the side and injuring it so severely that it
gave vent to the most piercing screams and
frightful yells. Not knowing what kind of an
animal it was, and while it was still writhing
its death agonies, the little fellow went into
the pen, picked it up end carried it home,
when it was discovered to be a full-grown
wild cat, one of the largest we have ever
seen. The eat was subsequently skinned,
and the hide stuffed, and on the following
day young McGinley brought it to this city,
made oath before Alderman McCormick to
having killed it as above stated, and received
an order on the Treasurer of the county for
the usual bounty 'mid for wild cat scalps.
After leaving the Alderman's office, young
McGinley sold the hide of the cat and his order
for the bounty for $1 50, the scalp alone being
worth that amount and the skin probably
worth mach more. It was certainly most
fortunate that the lad succeeded in fatally
wounding the vicious animal when lie did, for
had he failed to do so, the struggle which
would have ensued would doubtless have re
sulted in a victory for the cat.
ITEMS FROM THE "LOWER END."—A
man by the name of Pierce, in Springfield
township, had his feet so badly frozen, on
Christmas night, that one foot and part of the
other had to be amputated. It is said that he
went in company witk a Mr. Madden to Orbi
sonia in a sled, where he got intoxicated, and
.on his way home lie determined to get out of
the sled and go back to Orbisonia and get
more whisky. He was so helpless that he
never reached Orbisonia, and was found the.
next morning almost frozen to death. Poor
man, he will be a cripple for life, and no doubt
a charge on the county. Who is to blame?
Is it not the man that gave him the liquor?
There is a meeting in progress, in the M. E.
Church, at Three Springs borough, with con
siderable interest. Rev. Mason's meeting at
Saltillo is still going on.
William Stake, of Saltillo, had two of his

held in Union township, on a case brought by
Andrew Smith vs. The School District of said
township. Smith claimed to have paid an or

retary of the Board of Directors, is 1861 or
1868, amounting to $75, for the partial pay
ment of a bond, held by a Mr. Corbin, amount
ing to about $5OO. Smith alleged that he had
paid the order and subsequently lost it. Ho
made affidavit to this state of facto. Messrs.
Wright and Pheasant testified that they issued
no $75 order at all in part payment of said
bond, but that they issued orders enough to
cover it. The case created , considerable feel
ing. The township obtained judgment for
$2.50. The award was, by agreement, final.

ALEXANDRIA OUTRAGED.—ALEXAN
mai, Jan. 17, 1873.—. T. il. Durborrow, Esq.:
—I see in a letter in last week's Globe, pur
porting to come from our town, giving the rea
sons of the writer for subscribing for the
Globe, to wit: that the editor, Guss, has made
a scurrilous attack on the Hon. John Scott.—
Having lived in this town and townshiponearly
all my lifetime—and I ern no longer young-1
can say, with confidence, that not more than
three or four persons in this locality entertain
the sentiments of that letter, and they are
persons who belong to the "seven or eight active
wen in each township" who are leagued together
for selfish and corrupt political purposes, or who
have been made to feel that Mr. Scott is a ter
ror to evil doers. John Scott has risen from
obscurity to a position of honcr and useful
ness by force of eminent ability and manly in
tegrity. No man could have warmer personal
friends or more ardent admirers than Senator
Scott has in his native place, and they most
heartily despise the malice that dictated that
letter and that pretends to locate it at Alex
andria. I would advise Mr. G. to look after
that two dollar subscription, for any man who
will frame such a base fabrication does not
possess honesty enough to pay his debts.

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.—WAL
LES'S GROVE, Jan. 15, 1873.-11thter Editur :
When I last rot you & found my letter was
becumming too long I was preceediog to say
that i wood leech skule next winter. Ifl
doo you can feel serten that i will use the rod
notwithstanding all that them yang innerva
shunists said agenst it at that institute. Sol
!amen and the Huntingdon gloab says "a rod
for the fule's back" & sollamen and the gloab
is rite. Now share is the use in teechers' in
stitutes. Tha diskuss and deside a point of
law, as the lawyors say, & the gloab cums
square ontandeontredickts it & nocks the bole
thing in the hed—and there is the 2000 dollers
wasted in that institute just throwed away.
mr. editor i am down on such extravegence.
There wasnt no use in that institute.
But the legeslachers make laws & the poor
taxpayers, of which i am won, have to live up
to them if it brakes their nex. lam down on
these legislachers; and i hope the constushu
nal convenshun will bust them 01l upp and do
away with them. Thaire just tinkering at
laws all the time and haff the time they doaut
kno what it is their tinkering at. Ef legisla
chers must keep making noo laws old the time
i hope they will repeel the old laws and
start in the uoo agen—becoz a lawyor told me
when i was in Huntingdon that mr. purden's
book of laws waz getting sO big he coodent
lift it &he sed they were still making it big
ger !Try winter.
These legislachers compell the poor taxpaers
to keep up skules whether they like to ornott.
And now they make them keep them upp five
months and pay for these institutes besides.—
But the directors of shirty township got shed
of the legislacher. They told the teechers
they shoodent be paid for their time if they
went to the institute. But mr. superinten
dent he come along and told the teechers to
go to that institute if they wanted to, for he
said the legislacher had made a law that the
teechers moot be paid for their time at the in
stitute. Then it was that thoze direktcrs
showed them that they new as much as any
legislacher.. They just rived the teachers of
their township notice that if enny of them de
serted their skules and went to that there in
stitute thay wood be amembered & delt with
accordingly next winter then there wuz
sissies to give ages. That wuz a rum around
that the legislacher hadent thott of. For bold
independent manhood give me a sknle di
reckter all wait. Still thou) konfonnded
teechers neerly 01l went to that institute.
Az i said before mr.. editor, the institute
wuz held in the kourt house and' it will kost
the kounty sumthing to eleen out that kourt
house agen. Wan of the commishiners told
me it wood kost they county 2 dollers to have
that house scrubd and thay didnt get nothing
for lettin the institute be held there neether.
I told him that they cood gether up enouff of
book sirkulers and catalogs to sell and pay for
the skrubbing. He said mornfolly that they
might if it wuzent that thay war all spoiled
with tobacko. Where, mr. editor, does the
mutiny cum from that keeps 01l those teechers
in tobacko ? Evry scent of it is razed by the
poor taxpaers of which i am wun.
011 the way the cummishiners had of ma
king up the mutiny waz to have a fare upp
stares the same weak. do they had it. It dis
turbed the institute but wheze bizness waz
that. It giv the teechers a chance to take
their girls to see the fare when the prefesser
win making a long speech. The jndg said at
the last, kourt that he woodent hay kourt agen
when there was fares up stares. But mr. edi
tor, i tell you the cummishiners of Huntingdon
kounty kno whets buziness and yule find them
there evry time.
mr. editor If i waz a skule direkter i wood
attempt to ellevate the standerd of teeching
and to increse the dignity of the profesbun.
I woodent dmploy army man or women to
teech whoo hadent spent at leest three months
in the study of liberal sienees : Reedin, Ritin
and Rithmetic. Thoze are the ground work
of a solid edukashun and no teecher shood
think of teaching without haven givin them
sum attensheen. But how menny of them doo
it mr. editur ? They cant 'reed worth a cuss,
they cant rite a ledgable hand and if thay doo
a sum in rithmetick they doant kno whether
it is rite till they see the anser in the book. I
are down on such things.
Then i wood increase the dignity of the pre
feshun. I wood have every teacher coiled
,I prefesser." This is a distinkshun that teach
err ott surtenly to have. nay call clouns
asst serkns purformers prefessers ; they call
mesie teechers professers. If a fella gone
around teeching singing skules they call him
a professer ; they even call fiddlers prefessers ;
ant why, oh why thoodeut skule teechers be
called prefessors ? But iam glad to see a re.
ferns in this direkshun, for'in Elezandria, Ma
piston, Kassville, Huntingden and neerly oil
On other borrows of the kouuty they doe coil
them prefessors. This reform will add grately
to the dignity of the prefession.
Bet i wont speak now of anny more reforms,
for tsar lest sumbuddy else takes them In hand
and gets the creddit of inventing them. If
thaydo i will bent them for along time. I will
onlysay mr. editor, that if ever i shood rise to
the tenor of being elected a skule direktnr,
and save served my country faithfully in that
capacity for three years, i will upon retiring
from the kares and Wills of office, amid the
plolciits of mi admiring relatives and second
kuzins, have a grand supper given me by my
sucksesser in office, to be attended by thebole
bored of dire,ktors A; at which speeches will
be nade, and i will have the bole akkount of
it peblished in the kouuty papers, along with
a statement of my valuable survices renderd
the koz of eddncashun and all that. That is the
way goveners and commishiners and registers
and rekorders and all thoze kinds of fokes do
now a daze and why mr. editor shoodent skule
dereckters go and dolikewise ? Eckoe Inters
why. Yures Trooly,
