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.

HORRIBLE. 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.

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.

A COMMUNICATION.—"THAT MAN
PIERCE."—Shade Gap, Feb. 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.
