LOCAL OPTlON.—Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the friends of temperance, from the different portions of the county as sembled in the Court House, on Thursdaylast, at 1 o'clock, p. m. The meeting was organized by the election of J. Simpson Africa, Esq., as Chairman, and opened with prayer by Rev. J. C. Barr, of Alexandria. . Samuel Hatfield, of Porter township, and Theo. H. Cremer. Esq., of Huntingdon, were appointed Vice Presidents, and R. McDivitt and W. A. Fleming, Esqs.. Secretaries. S. T. Brown, Esq., by request of the chair man, stated the object of the meeting, to be that of holding up the hands of our legisla tors, by a public expression of the feeling of our 'citizens, in the view of an organized movement to defeat the will of the people by a repeal of the local option law, and for the purpose of securing an organized effort in the different districts of the county at the coming election. Revs. J. W. Plannett, Geo. W. Zahnizer and S. T. Brown, Esq., were appointed a commit tee to prepare business for the meeting. During the absence of the committee the meeting was addressed by Revs. Barr, of Alex andria, and Dr. Wilson, of Birmingham, strongly urging a vigorous and united effort on the part of all good citizens for the legal abatement of the dram-shep nuisance and ban ishment, so far as possible of the evils of intem perance from our midst. The committee on resolutions presented the following, which were read and adopted Resolved, That we rejoice at the general en thusiasm of the people of Pennsylvania is favor of the Local Option law, and desire to be considered as working is harmony with our brethern in other counties of the State. Resolved, That without accepting local op tion as a finality, we will always vete against the liquor traffic in whatever shape it may come before its, and hence we enter the con test heartily and earnestly, and invite every right thinking man to join us in organizing to vote down license at the municipal electidn en the third Friday in March next. Resolved, That in voting down license the citizens of the county aro securing and pre serving the beat interests ofall classes, wheth er considered from a mental, moral, physical, pecuniary, social or political standroint. Resolved, That in this conflict with a great evil and wrong, we especially urge the earn- est and hearty co-operation of all churches with their pastors, all temperance organiza tions, all conductors of the public press, all teachers of the youth of the country, that our success may be assured beyond all doubt, Resolved, ' That a committee of three or more be appointed by the chairman an consultation with the other officers of this meeting in each township, borough and ward of the county, to conduct the canvass in their respective town ships, boroughs and wards, arouse, organize and bring, to the polls all voters who will vote against license, call meetings, and distribute facts and :arguments calculated to convince and convert all now opposed. Resolved, That we urge the committee today appointed to distribute blank petitions for signatures in favor of inserting prohibition into the new constitution, collect these peti tions and forward them promptly to the proper authorities; and we also urge upon the citizens of this county the duty of signing the petitions. Resolved, That it is the belief of this con vention that a vast majority of the voters of Huntingdon county are opposed to the grant ing of licenses, and to any repeal of the local option law ; we therefore urge upon our Sen ators and Representatives in the State Legis lature to oppose, by all means in their power, any attempt to repeal the local option law passed last winter, or to weaken or modify its provisions under guise of amendments. Resolved, That the publisher of county news napers be requested to publish these resolu tions and that a copy of them be sent to our Senators and Representative at Harrisburg. For the purpose of carrying out the spirit of the above resolutions, and securing a perma nent organization for this purpose, Saml. E.

CRUELTY—WITCHES ON BROAD TOP. -About unc mile‘and a half from the village of Hopewell, in Broad Top town ship, Bedford county, resides a negro by the name of Samuel Hall, who owns a small farm and keeps several bead of horses constantly about him. Hall, like quite a number of col ored, and some that are not colored, individ uals, has never provided half feed for his equine stock, consequently, they have been very poor—mere masses of skin and bones—and occasionally a horse would lie down and die for him. So frequently did this happen that Samuel came to the conclusion that his horses were bewitched. A week or two ago a poor, old, worn-out, half-starved, creature became incapable of locomotion, and its superstitious owner conceived that be saw traces of witches. He determined that he would forever rid himself and his property of their presence. He, with assistance, succeed ed in getting the miserable pile of bones out into a field ; he then took and poured coal oil over its legs and body, piled a large pile of brush around it, set it on fire and burned up the living horse! He alledged that this is the course pursued in the South under similar circumstances. Several white men were pres ent and did not interfere. Of course they are on a par with the negro. It is said that the noise made by the poor brute was so horrible that the men fled from the field. The matter was promptly brought to the attention of the society for the prevention of cruelty to an imals, and as we passed Saxton on last Satur day, au agent of the Society had the fiend un der arrest and was forwarding him to Bedford.

TYHURST, Chairman. A. R. 3CCAumnr, Secretary. LOCAL LEGISLATION.—Up to this time there has been very little, if any, general legislation introduced, we, consequently, re port only that which pertains to this county. On January 31st, Mr. Lane introduced a bill entitled An act to annex the farm of Joseph Diggins to the Broad Top City School District of this minty. Also, a bill entitled Au act for the relief of Wm. F. Clark and J. K. Peterson, sureties of Benjamin Davis, late tax collector for Shirley township in this county. Also, en the 4th inst., a bill entitled An act to repeal an act relating to public printing in this county. On the 4th inst., Mr. Petrekin introduced a bill entitled An act to authorize the trustees under the will of Algernon S. Roberts, to convey lands to the Roekhill Iron and Coal Company, and receive stock of said company in the payment of the same. FEIOT FROZEN =John Quarry, of Hill Valley, had his feet badly frozen about four weeks since, while getting out railroad ties. Ile did not apply for medical treatment until last week ; and then gangrene had set in, and it was necessary to amputate a portion of the left foot to save it. This was done on Thursday last by Drs. G. W. Thompson and A. It. McCarthy of Mt. Union. The patient is rapidly recovering, and will have almost a sound foot again. Drs. Thompson and McCar thy can do a first class job of amputating Anybody desiring to have anything done in that line can easily be satisfied of the truth of our assertion by giving them a trial ; and the afflicted of Ms. Union placing themselves un der their care will not have a chance of dying if medical skill can avail to keep them alive.

Ist, 1873.—Mr. Durborrow :—I see in this week's Jena:Lin a communication from Orbisonia signed "Oliver Cromwell," in which he makes some wild statements, in regard to Mr. Pierce, of Clay, or Springfield Township. The writer goes off thus : "I notice that your correspondent from Clay makes some very wild statements in his reports to you. He is either not posted or else intentionally makes things wear as bad a face as he does himself. That man Pierce, who had his feet frozen so badly as to necessitate amputation of one at the instep and the other at the toes, was not conareing for whiskey when he received the injury. The fact of the case is, he was at A. Carothers' hotel in this place, on the night before Christmas and there met Mr. J. W. Scott and others who wished to go to Shade Gap, and it was there that "Mr. Pierce got drunk, and when on his way home he fell off of his sled near Mr. Micheal Stars' in Black Log Valley and there met with his misfor tune." Now the facts in relation to Mr. Pierco are simply thus : On the 24th day of Dec. 1972, the writer was in Huntingdon and went to the Depot to get a ticket for Mt. Union, oa the 9.30 a. m. train, and was informed by the agent, that the train was an hour behind time, and en our arrival at Mt. Union I inquired for the Stage or Sled which runs on to Shade Gap, and being told it was gone I, in company with Mr. Oliver Sipes, of McKeesport, took passage with Mr. Eyler, for Shirleysburg, arriving there about 1 o'clock, r. u. we dined and after wards took passage on a sled for Orbisonia, arriving there about sun down. It was there we met Mr. Pierce, of whom so much hasbeen said. Mr. Correspondent "Oliver Cromwell" goes off half cocked in a great tale about Mr. Pierce getting drunk and having his Met am putated, &c., and says that it was at Shade Gap, that he got drunk. • Now, we hired Mr. Pierce to take us to Shade Gap and paid him $2 00 and when at Mess rs. Lupfer's Tannery, a mile distant from town, he stopped his team and said if we would walk, the balance of the read he would go back to Orbisonia. We insisted on his going to town with us and to stay all night but all of no use. "Mr. Cromwell" says "Mr. Pierce agreed to take them for so much if they would treat." Now, he is either greatly in error or else (in the language of Artemus Ward) "greatly in the Lie," for there was no treating douse and whatever tanglefoot, Mr. Pierce had he im bibed before he agreed to go to Shade Gap, and before we met him. Your correspondent says Orbisonia is not chargeable with any misfortune of the kind and then cites how many stores and black smith shops, they have in town, etc. Among other things he says they have one temperance hotel and one licensed hotel and "go into either you will find quiet supreme.” The fact is Shade Gap is not chargeable for this offense or any misfortune of the kind, as we have had no license in this borough for a year or nearly so—abort one year ago every man in this borough, even Mr. McGowan, who had kept a licensed hotel for five years past, signed a petition asking the court not to grant license to any one to sell liquor in the borough of Shade Gap. We would say to Orbisonia "go thou and do likewise." Respectfully, J. W. SCOTT. TEACHERS AND INSTITUTES.—MR. ED non :—Allow me the privilege of saying a few words, through your paper, in behalf of the teacher and 'Teachers' Institutes. In an article relative to an Institute written by "Nicodemus Worker" our attention has been directed to the teacher, superintendency, and 'teachers' institutes, in a manner that (we regret to state) too many of the people of our day view them. Let us notice some of the coeelusions in regard to our Common Schools. The writer regards them in his opinion as a "wholesale swindle," hence it follows from this conclu sion, which he arrives at immediately, that our entire educational system is a wholesale swindle and is accomplishing nothing, but is promoting evil: Aside from this, however, he looks upon the [cutler as the agent of this •wholesale switi- dle," who takes the bread out of the mouths of starving children. In short he assails all the measures for the advancenaent of ethica -1 tion as a failure. Let us look for a moment at another picture. The teacher's profession is an honorable one ; a calling that is not of a light and trifling nature. It is a profession that honors God and ben efits mankind. It is through the instrumen tality of the teacher that God launches great ideas, which sweep over the nations of the earth to mould the character of generations just as the sun rises in silence to awake to bury life a sleeping continent. In regard to Institutes. one of which the writer says he attended, we would urgently advise him and all advocates of his sentiment by all means to attend another Institute, and he should do so by all means, especially as lie intends "teaching" next winter. It was not our privilege to he present at the Institute in Huntingdon, but it has been our privilege to attend Institutes elsewhere and it is our hear ty and decided testimony that we have receiv ed • a great amount of benefit therefrom, and this we do not hesitate to declare is the testi mony of every active and earnest working teacher and every well thinking individual. That Teachers' Institutes are beneficial to the teacher, beneficial to the people i■ general, is self evident to every individual who under stands what a teachers' institute is. The object of such institutes or associations is for the benefit of the teachers, by way of awakening them to effort and qualifying them for the proper discharge of their duties, and the individual who looks upon the subject otherwise has failed to get the correct idea, I apprehend that there are minds of moderate calibre that ordinarily condemn everything which is beyond their range, or neglect to in vestigate the matter lead them without re flection to immediate conclusion. In concluding this article we declare that it is not true that our school system is an en tire failure and swindle. It is not true that institutes aro a failure, such sentiments are injurious and tend to interfere with the advance ment of education; they are the cries of ignor ance and materialism. Teachers, let us improve every opportunity that is given to us for improvement. God has entrusted us with a work—a deep earnest work. Let no strive to do our work well, regardless of the cavil and excess og ignorance. To those who say that our schools aro whole sale swindles ! We say review carefully the laws which make provision for the education of starving children, post yourselves in the school laws of Pennsylvania and lend your in fluence by assisting to make our system of ed ucation better by taking more interest in the cause and cease the howling cry of "taxes" and then all will move along more profitable and pleasant to all concerned. Jcsrtcts. PORTER NORMAL Il , lBmirrE.—Porter Township, Feb. 4,1873.-21 r. Editor:—During the present school year the Porter Normal In stitute hes not been beard from, whether the teachers are more careless or uninterested in the work, then those of preceding winters, or whether they are prevented from making known what they have been doing, by other circumstances we are not prepared tosay,—per haps some of them have been "marrying wives, providing yokes of oxen, &c., - and eon lolnot attend to this important duty. Having been greatly interested iu the work of Teachers, Institutes for the last few years, and feel that the proceedings of such meetings should be published, we take this occasion to give you an account of a meeting held in the Valley school house on the afternoon and eve ning of the Ist inst. The exercises in the afternoon consisting of class drills, were conducted with benefit to all present, as such drills, and exchange of opinions, relating to the difierent modes of conducting recitations, cannot fail to be a ben efit and an advantage to young and inexperi enced teachers ; but we often find it the case that they are the most indifferent, and careless about attending such meetings,—however it is not generally the case in Porter Township. Seven o'clock in the evening found the house crowded from all parts ofthe Township, and even Walker Township was represented, thus showing that the patrons—if some of the teachers do not take an interest in educational meetings. The following subjects were discussed dur tng the first part of the evening, let, "Should the people be taxed to procure a library for the benefit of the common schools" ? 2nd "How shall we teach pupils good manners ?" The first subject was opened in the affirma tive by Mr. Tussey, opposed by Mr. Robb, the second by Mr. Grafius and discussed by others, after which Mr. Tussey read an essay on "Pub lic Opinion," which if it is not, should be in print, that others might be benefited by the fine thoughts and good ideas put forth in it. After a short intermission a warm and lengthy dis cussion ensued on the subject of "abolishing capital panishment." The affirmative was defended by A. A.. Black ex-teacher, W. R. Cunningham Director and Mr. Robb of Walker, the negative by Messrs. Tussey, Grafius and Knode, teachers. No doubt the arguments ad vanced, and eloquence displayed by the teach ers of Porter Township, would have had a beneficial influence on the "Constitutional Convention" which is now in session. The Judges appointed for the decision, on the arguments of the question gave it, in favor of the negative, but whether they gave it from the facts produced or from conscientious con viction is a question. , The meeting was a success, if we could only have more of such meetings ;in all parts of the county, we would have a smaller number of dead teachers, and might convince some of them that there is not enough of the "Normal school element" in our common schools. We might then get more of the directors and pat rons interested in this important cause. It would then be unnecessary to think and talk about compulsory education. SPECTATOR. A MORE readable number of Scribner's than the February has, perhaps, never been issued. There is a strange story gh by Miss Phelps, "Since I died," in whiclr the gates seem to have been set ajar, indeed; a puzzling account by Noah Brooks of what he calls "The San Rafael Phalanstery ;" a curious discuss ion by Philip Gilbert Hamerton, the English art-critic, of "One Phase of the Marriage.
