year for ten years of the last seventeen, thus
snaking an addition to the population during
that time of twenty-four.

DON'T Box YOUR CHILDREN'S EARS.
—We call the attention of parents, teachers
and all those having charge of children to the
fact that a physiological journal condemns
the practice of boxing children's ears. We
had supposed, in this advanced age of civiliza
tion, that such barbarous punishment were
only remembered as relics of the darker ages.
But it.ppears that the practice is sufficiently
common in some sections of the country to sail
forth a decided remonstrance. Besides being
a brutal method of punishment, it is danger
gerous. The passage of the ear is closed by a
thin membrane, especially adapted to be in
flueuced by every impulse of tho air, and with
nothing but the air to support it internally.
If any one designed to break or overstrain the
membrane, he could scarcely divine a more
effective menus than to bring the handsudden
ly and forcibly down upon the passage of the
ear, no possibility for its escape but by the
membrane giving away Many children are
made deaf in this way.

THE Two PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS OP
THE BALD EAGLE TANNERY AND A LARGE AMOENT
OF STOCK IN ASHES-LOAF frOM $60,000 (0 $70,-
000—Insurance Light.—On Wednesday night
about 12 o'clock the silence of the hour was
disturbed by the alarm of fire. The flames
were soon discovered to be in the Bald Eagle
Tannery of D. P. Ray, Esq.. and in a very few
minutes the Neptune Hose Company and a
large number of citizens were on the spot, by
which time the fire had got under good head
way in the dry timbers of the engine house
where it was discovered by the 'watchman to
have originated.
• " "
Considerable delay in getting the water to
play on the flames was occasioned by the fire
plug at the Ward House being covered with
snow thrown from the pavement, and some
thing, we know not what, being in bad shape
about the private plug of the Tannery; and
owing to a defect in laying many of the ser
vice pipes throughout the town the water was
passing through them to prevent freezing, thus
lessening the force of the water very consider
ably, in fact there was hardly any force at all
for as much as half an hour, daring which
time the fire had its own way, comparitively
speaking. A very few minutes had elapsed
when all hopes of saving the engine and leach
houses were abandoned, and the exertions of
the company and citizens put forth to keep,
the fire from connecting with the main tannery
building, in which were the vats and drying
rooms, but all in vain. The fire in the main
building advanced slowly. Had it pushed
forward in this building as it did in the leach
house the flames would have, in all probabili
ty, been conveyed to the stables and other
out-buildings close by, thence to the Ward
House and Mr. Eshbach's building, and possi
bly from that to the Juniata bridge, thence to
the frame row adjoining, and no telling where
the end would have been. The wind was
changeable and by times very high, carrying
pieces of burning shingles, etc., as much as
fifteen to twenty rods. The snow which fel'
during the day and evening prevented these
embers from setting fire to the roofs of the
adjoining buildings, which are literally cov
ered with pieces of charred wood.
The main building, leach house, engine
house, engine, all the machinery and from
fifteen to eighteen hundred sides were de
stroyed, footing up a loss, as we are informed
by Mr. Ray himself, of from sixty to seventy
thousand dollars, while his insurance is but
twenty-two to twenty-eight thousand dollars.
The large bark house, one or two small build
ings and a few sides ofleather remain uninjur
ed.
Mr. Ray says he will commence to rebuild
at once, and by the middle of May or first of
June, if the machinery can be procured in
that time, he will again be in running order,
which is but adding to his already merited
reputation for more than ordinary energy and
business. He has our sympathy and that of
all the citizens of the place, who appreciate
his worth amongns..
Much praise is the Neptune boys, who did
their best to save the property : which would
have been done had the water been given
them in full force at the beginning. We have
neither room nor time to comment on the ne
cessity of a more complete fire department,
but would suggest that a fire engine is very
essential to the protection of Tyrone from
fire.—Tyrone Herald.
Ties current issue of LOpineott's Magazine
is highly attractive in respect to both its ar
ticles and its illustrations. The most striking
feature is the opening portion of Mr. Black's
charming new serial novel, "A Princess of
Thule." The style of this story is more popu
lar and engaging than that of the author's
last wear, "The Strange Adventures of a Phae
ton," and gives every indication of being one
of his best productions, fully equaling "The
Daughter of Hells," a novel of rare interest
from the same pen. , •Theßonmi in Kabylia,"
which forms the initial contribution, describes
a tour through modern Algeria, and is replete
with interesting delineaSions of a country
which, although abounding in natural beauties
and historical associations, is seldom visited
by travelers, and but little known to the gen
eral reader. The engravings which accompa
ny this article are beautifully executed. "The
National Tran-sAlleghany Water-Way," by
Prof. Thompson B. Maury, deseribes the meth
ed by which it is proposed to connect the
waters of the Mississippi with these of the At
lantic Ocean, and thus establish direct com
munication between Omaha and the ports of
Europe. The almost incalculable advantages
which would result from the realization of this
slherne resider the present paper not only in
teresting but profoundly important. Several
views and explanatory diagrams accompany
the test. "New Washington," by Chauncey
Hickos, is a sketch of the msthetic, social,and
political condition of the National Capital. It
contains many shrewd remarks and pertinent
suggestions, and deserves a careful reading
from all who feel a proper interest in the good
order, beauty, and dignity of the representa
tive city of the land. In the article entitled
"Cuba,"
the main points of the difficulties
which have arrayed the inhabitants of that
country against the Spanish government are
presented in a clear and succinct manner.
"Unsettled Points of Etiquette" dwells upon
the unfortunate diversity of opinion which pre
veils in elevated circles of American society
regarding the propriety or impropriety of cer
tain polite observances, and which frequently
causes muck annoyance to polished and sen
sitive persons, especially foreigners. The
remedies suggested are both simple and rea
sonable. "Chateaubriand's Ducks" is a very
captivating sketch of an incident in the later
career of the famous statesman and author
mentioned in the title, and contains some val
uable anecdotal matter. The poems in the
present number of Lippincott'c Magazine are,
"The Hermit's Vigil," by Margaret J. Preston,
and "Winter," by Lucy H. Hooper. Beth are
above the ordinary average. Besides "A Prin
cess of Thule," already referred to, the leading
contributions in the department of fiction are
the concluding chapters of "Probationer Leon
hard," by Carolina Chesobro', and "Her
Chance "by S. W. Kellogg. "In the Cradle
of the Deep," by Charles W. Stoddard, is a
well written sketch of an experience of mari
time life gained during along and tempestuous
voyage. "Our Monthly Gossip" contains some
very discriminating criticism upon the acting
of Miss Neilson, some amusing anecdotes of the
late General Robert E. Lee, and a variety of
entertaining notes and comments. We notice
that the publishers of Lippincott's Magazine of
-tbr as a club premium one of the most magni
ficent chrome lithographs ever executed in
this country, and upon the production of
which eight thousand dollars have been ex
pended.

DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR GEARY.—
The following eulogy, on the death of Ex-
GOT. Geary, was delivered Icy Gen. Lane, in
the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, the
11th inst.:
Mn. Lava. Mr. Speaker there are occasions when si
lence, perhaps becomes most eloquent end most befitting.
Tet, sir, I feel that 1 would do violence to my own souse
of propriety ekould I remain silent upon this occasion.
It has been my privilege to share with the distinguished
deeme,ed, in a part of his distiuguiehed career as a soldier
and an officer, where I had an opportunity of knowing his
worth, and I can speak that which I do know, and testify
to that which I have seen. I have stood with him ehoulder
to shoulder, iu the defence of the flag of his country. I
have obeyed where it was his to command '•forward" in
the charge, and where diet courage peculiar to the man
mounted to the eye, it kindled a spirit in every soldier
under his command that would know no defeat. I have
seen hint thus kindled stand erect iu his stirrups, and as
he gave the command "forward" the soldierly, almost as
if winged, fly across the slashing and abattis to the rout
ing of the enemy. It hats been my privilege to care for
him to 601110 little extent when wounded. I have shared
my mete with him. I have added what I could to his
relief, wounded as he was time and again ' never willing to
go to the rear, bat always to the front. This spirit seems
to have ever been characteristic of the man. In the camp,
in the field, or in the position of a civilian, or as au exe
cutive officer of high trust, he has always been found
ready for the duty and the responsibility of the occasion
and but few men in the history of this Commonwealth,
and I may say of any Commonwealth In this country, will
have so bright and distinguished a page in the history of
individual men as the late John W. Geary. Born in an
humble cottage, in the wilds of Westmorland county, in
obscurity, by dint of perseventnce and indomitable energy
he surmounted all the obstacles that intervened, until
twenty-five years of public lite have been marked with
the impress of his character from the Atlantic to the
Pacific slopes, known and read of all men. And it seems
fitting, air, that having bet so recently vacated the chief
executive chair of this Commonwealth, that we should
bow in that oubmis.4iun cud humble recognition of au
overruling power, of which we ere reminded in these em
blems of death, taking the lessone to ourselves as dying
men, to fill well the ri.tiou of life that when we fall we
than fall in peaci :sod in the honorable discharge of life's
duties. . _
hoped, Fir, that gentlemen upon thin floor hod
prepared, and I may lope to bear yet from there who are
prepared to dejustico upon an occasion like this. For
myself I confess I did not know of his death until yester
day noon, and I speak upon the impulse of ti, moment.
Butt suppose arrangements were mule here to have such
members as the gentleman from his native county and
others collect statistical facto, and make up a record and
history of his public and private life, and would be no
presented no to make a complete record that shall go upoh
our Journal, and be read by ail the people of the Com
monwealth, and become as incentive to the youth of the
land for greater exertions to Pt and qualitly themselves to
imitate his worthy example and no discharge their duty
in torn as has the honored dead. I may say here, in this
connection, that we are reminded in thin Providence of
the ninny great men who have fallen during the past
twelve months in thin country, and it in becoming that a
great deliberative body like thin, shall mark well this in
cident audit may not go unimproved.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
THE POOR HOUSE ACCOUNTS REVIEW-
En.—Me. Editor :—We desire a small apace in the
JOVRFAL to talk "Poor House." First, we would
like to know what the tax-payers of Huntingdon
County think of the statements of the Huntingdon
County Alms House forlast year? Nine thousand
eight hundred and two dollars and sixty cents, for
supporting an nveraze of fifty paupers at the Alms
House for 1872 ! Tax-payers, look at this ! How
do you like the picture ? Don't said Institute look
as though an investigating committee would not be
out of place ? Republicans and tax-payers, are
yen willing to see your money used to buy votes
for "Independent Candidates," and to keep in po
sition at the poor house a few democrats ? •
The question may be anxiously asked are these
really facts ! They undoubtedly are. John Logan
can explain, and no doubt a couple of the Directors
can help. Hew many bargains and sales did John
Logan make to elect the election of certain dele
gates to the last County Convention ? How many
did he bribe to vote for P. H. Bence for Poor Di
rector by offering to take meat, merchandise, and 1
other produce and supplies from them for the use '
of said house? (and no doubt at their own figures.)
How many Republicans in Shirleysburg receive
patronage from said house ? We can anewer, and
take their own figures to do it with
Mdse
J. A. Kerr, "
Henry Myers, bleeksmithing.
Total.
We will now take the Democratic side of the bal
anise sheet, and it give': us:
W. A. Fraker, Md. 5969 OS
W. 11. Brewster, (a Backalew-fireeleyitel 181 42
W. P. WNite, Phyeioian 135 80
J. A. Doyle, for coffins 2B 52
Total.
Democrats receiving in excess of Republicans
$1162.33. Could Huntingdon County see the eo
ruption and bribery resorted too, to carry out the
plans of the present Steward, they would open their
eyes wider than New York did at the doings of
Tammany. We further say that we do not have a
correct statement of the expenditures for 1872.
There wore several bills kept back (at the instiga
tion of "the ring") until the January meeting of
Directors, which would make the expenditures for
1872, over-run $lO,OOO.
They say though, that Mr. Logan is an excellent
manager, no doubt. Who are the favored ones oc
cupying positions at the Alms House to day ? W.
P. M'Nite, physician appointed over Dr. Gehrett,
soldier who lost his health in the army, while he
(eNite) was at home wearing copperhead bad
gee, and is now receiving a greater salary, by sev
eral dollars, than Dr. Gehrett offered to take the
house at. G. W. Whittaker is clerk was a ram
pant Buekalew—Greeleyite last fall, and could not
find language sufficiently strong to denounce all
of the Republicaneandidates. J. A. Doyle, anoth

at a higher figure than Republicans would do it
for.
Truly Republicans here are a patient people.
This thing has been going on for over two years,
and Republicans allover the Bounty have been ap
prised of it, yet they seem slow to believe and loth
to act. Our statements are true. The Di
rectors with one acocption, are traitors to the par

frauds of Logan.
We have evidence sufficiently to prove the bri
bery of Logan last fall :housed the patronage of the
house as the price. He may deny, but facts are
truths and unless a speedy change takes place in
the management of that house, the charges trill

Poor Directors from ten cents circular to fourcents,
and to meet every alternate month, this immaculate
Steward of the Alms House, is pacing the lower

HARD SKULLS.—Give u t your hand,
Mr. Editor, your strictures in your loot issue upon
the remarks of the Bellefonte Watchman on the
subject of Female Suffrage give us hope and cour
age. There is an Editor and a paper that dares to
be honest on this much abused topic ! Good! It
emboldens me to say a word, and to hope that you
will say it over again in your paper. I have never
yet seen anything that rises to the dignity of an
argument against Woman Suffrage. If there be
such I would be glad to see than, as I am, in that
ease, in great darkness on the subject. I have
often seen such appeals to prejudice, and slurs and
gibes as those of the IVatchotan. The women are
hard-headed and the men are eofi-headed. No
doubt.. But "MMUS, man, your reasone:' They
may be "plenty as • laokberries," but 1 have never
seen them. Do not give us such apologies for
reasons as that the wisdom of our fathers never
gave the suffrage to women: for first, it is not true;
and second, if it were, it would be no more a rea
son than that because the Town Council has never
shut up the cows, therefore they never should. Do
not say that it would degrade woman, because that
is +lourae either, and if it were, how should you
know it, professing to believe that the experiment
has never been matt?
The fact is, Mr. Dardskull, woman has enjoyed
the right of suffrage from time immemorial, apd
that, too, in a sphere of greater importance and
responsibility than the political. If I know any
thing about church history, they have always ye-
ted in the churches, for Pastors and Elders and I
Deacons, and on all Subjects of interest to the con
gregation. And I have never heard of one being
thereby degraded, or turned into a man, or turned
out of her sphere. In foot, somehow, the very
best women of the world are there in these very
churches where they have the right of voting and
where they exercise it. I often thiik that a wise
Providence has used this element there as a puri
fier, rather than an instrument of degradation. At
any rate, the fact is, that there, in that sphere,
where they have their votes, purity seems to be
mere prevalent and more highly estimated than it
is just now in the political world. Do not tell us.
by way of argument, "we have too many voters al
ready." What's the evil of sway voters, if they bo
good one. ? What we want, in order to purify the
political atmosphere, are good voters—that is, hi
telligent and YORAL voters; and if there is to be a
distinction in favor of one of these qualities above
the other,
surely, in these times, it ought to he
made in favor of morality. Not that the other
should be wanting, and it is not : for in point of
intelligence upon all subjects connected with the
good of society, women, in this land at least, will
compare favorably with men, and if they have the
ballot they will probably soon rise still higher in
this respect. But as to morality, where do you
find the strongest moral element of our society ?
Examine your church rolls of every denomination.
See how many more women you have than men.
Go to the place of worship, and compare their
number with that of men. lon must acknowledge
that the female element of society is a mw-al ele
ment. Why fetter it? What other qualification
for the ballot can compare with this morality ?
It is true Paul silences the woman in the church,
but he does not blest her. The politician, in his
groat wisdom, has reversed the order. He has
bound her; but ho dares nut silence her. Oh, no !
It would be fatly in the face of our great doutrine
of free-speech, to prevent Susan B. from speaking
her mind, but take care that she don't get hold of
a ticket! That would degrade her—and—nod—if
—"if the sky would fall, we Would catch larks!"
Bat go on, Mr, Bardskull, with your sneers.
They are disgusting thinking people into the ad
vocacy of a cause which can be met by nothing
more worthy of its steel. Yours, truly

DEAR JOURNAL :—You, already, have
an itemizer from this part of the County, but I
have concluded, notwithstanding the above fact,
to immortalize myself by writing fora paper.
Therefore, please class me in, with the illustrince,
and never to be forgotten, "Oliver Cromwell,"
recently resurrected, and imported to Orbisonia.
. .
-
Indeed, I think ii is a shame that the people of
"Three Springs," and "Clay Twp," are not allowed
to think, and judge for themselves any more. hut
are to be dictated to. and abused by such ovally—
wags, as write fo? "The Globe." Because they
are not able to attend to their own affairs. do they
'lppose that every one else is ditto ?
in the last issue of "Thc . Globe I notice a
a correspondent from "Orbisoniu," charging your
correspondent from "Clay," with stealing R. R.
stakes in Clay ? Can it be passible that he is
leaking after them to bore brink with ?
Again "Anon" tries to eulogise Col. Dewees, by
calling him the father of the "East B. T. It. It."
I don't think the Colonel needs a brobileee modulo,
like "Oliver" to blow for him.
Now "Oliver" or "Anon as you call yourself,
take my advice, and attend to your own business,
for Clay Township, I have no doubt, will eulogise
heroics Doetore, and run dawn her own men, when
she thinks they need it, and Col. Dewecs, and the E.
B. T.. R. It. will be able to defend themselves,when
they think it necessary. without your bombastic
advice.
I.notieed in "The Globe," a few weeks ago, qnite
a puff on Dr. Thompson, of this place, but I rather
inferred from the tenor of the piece, that the Doctor
was not appreciated here, as he should be. Now I
can't say much about the appreciation of tLe Doe.
around hero, but certainly the people in "Three
Springs Borough" hold him in high estimation,
from the fact that ho has run for two or three
Borough officee, (School Director, and Town-coon
oilman) and hae been invariably defeated. • Yon
can, therefore, form some idea of the appreciation
of the gentleman at home. The editor of the Globe,
must be a learqed man, to be able to tell the name
of the operation, that was perforated on Mr. Pierce,
perhaps the Doe. had him "set up," before he
wrote that "pull" for him ? Certainly no one could
be so cruel hearted as to disbelieve the Globe man,
when he says that Pr.T--= is it reiOs Viti chill
ful surgeon,
Certainly we appreciate the Doc. at home,
but the astute editor of "The Globe," and the long
eared gent of Orbisonia, will please bear in mind
that when the citizens of Clay Township, or Three
Springs Borough, have a [non that (Imreee page,
they will attend to that in due time. Truly,

ALEXANDRIA, FEBRUARY 5. 1873.-
R. Durberrnte, Esq : I notice in the ainbe of
the 2Rth ult., a communication from Alexandria,
signed Meyers Miles, in reply to my communica
tion in the JOURNAL. When I penned that letter
I had not the remotest idea that a man, who sus
tained the character that Mr. M. has formerly done
in this community, would stoop so low as to con
fess himself the author of such a communication.
In regard to Mr. M.'s honesty, in pecuniary af
fair., I will say that I have known him for a long
time and I never knew him to refuse to pay an
honest debt. I, therefore, beg his pardon for the
insinuation to the contrary in my former comma
nioation; but he must permit me to say that if he
persists in keeping bad company he must expect
to bo accused sometimes of things of which he is
not guilty.
Mr. M. says he has nothing against the Honor
able Senator as a man, a citizen, a lawyer, or a
Senator, but as a political leader and wire-worker
in politics. And now who is it that be professes
to follow? Is it the man who attempts to bribe
delegates on the streets of Huntingdon, and who
says "It is generally understood that political con
ventions are run by money," and who obtrudes his
hateful presence into those conventions for no other
purpose than to corrupt the delegates? The man
who has only lately discovered how to make meney,
and who is thoroughly despised by all honest men?
Does Mr. M. prefer to follow the lead of men who
strive to pack juries? who make out bounty ,lupli
cates in pencil mark ? who embezzle the public
funds and who are now in agony because they
have been compelled to disgorge some of the money
plundered from school children? If such are the
persons he prefers to follow he can do so, for Sena
tor
Scott will not suit him as a leader.
22 M
92 70
;IM G 9
Mr. M. further nays he never was leagued for
corrupt political purposes. This may be true but
ho should remember that the word or even the oath
of members of the "ring" has very little weight in
this community. Mr. M. also thinks I under es—
timated the number of Mr. Scott's enemies. Well,
perhaps, I did. Mr. Scott is a fearless defender of
the right, and when truth and justice are at stake
he never stops to inquire what effect their defence
will have on his personal interests, and no one
will think it strange if those whose villainy he
has exposed' do not feel friendly towards him.
Election day, however, will tell on which side the
strength'lies.
Mr. M. is thankful that he has an organ that
has no fears of telling the truth, and that this or
gan has the redoubtable skunk-hunter for editor.
Some people are very tha nkful forsmall favors and
I suppose Mr. M. is one of them. It is a pity,
though, that the editorof the Globe, and his bounds,
have been so much among skunks that their soent
is very much impaired, for the last animal they
attempted to worry proved to be a different animal
from the skunk, and, in place of getting a scalp,
the /isle Sew off the pursurer in a manner pitiable
to behold. If the Globe suits Mr. M.'s taste he is
the more to he pitied ; but I hope when he is done
reading it he will lay it up where the youth, especi
ally the young girls, who some to his shop, will
not see it, or he can hand it over to the Squire, it
will be convex lent for him and others when they
meet to concoct the next communication for Mr. M.
to sign; but, Mr. M., do not take it home, for if
Mrs. M. is acquainted with the character of your
favorite editor she, out of respect forthe virtue and
chastity of her sex. will not permit it to escape the
flame..
$1.31.1-
Mr. M. wants ray name, but it is of very little
consequence to him who I am, fur whenever it be
comes necessary to do so 1 can furnish scores of
our best citizens to endorse all I have said.

HARE'S VALLEY, February 9, 1873.
Mr. Editor :-7 see by some of your last issues
that you have several correspondents front differ
ent parts of the society and none from Mare's or
Smith's Valley. I thought I would ask the privi
lege of a small epaoe in your columns, so that your
readers may see that we still exist. Although we
do live among the hills, we have some fine times,
at least you would have thought so on Friday
night, the 7th inst.. if you had been here. Mr. Ben
Eyler, of Smith's Valley, was married to Mrs. My
ers, of Huntingdon. Ben brought his wife home
on Friday, and on Friday night about lii men an d
boys gathered up and gave him a grand serenading
no n token of their high regard for the Old Hero.
The people aro waking up from their long slum
ber in this part of the county. They are having
debates two and three times a week. They have
formed a society called Smith's Valley Deba
ting Society, of which G. W. Taylor is President.
Isaac Dell Vice President and K. W. Myerley Sec
retary. Several subjects have been thoroughly dis
cussed by able speakers. Quite a number if inter
esting questions have been debated.
I will quit for the present and wait until some
thing new turns up. Truly yours,
ENCOU4R WITH A WILDCAT.—One
of our sub*ribers informs us that about a
week ago, a boy named Connor, of Susque
hanna township, aged about twelve years,
with his dog started in pursuit of "coons."
Coming upon tracks of what he supposed to
be one, he followeu them for some distance,
and finally treed the animal. Leaving the dog
to watch at the tree, he went home and pro
cured an axe with which to fall the tree. Re
turning to the place, he went to work and was
not long in getting the tree down ; the animal,
which proved to be a very large wildcat, growl
ing at him furiously all the while. The tree
fell and the dog made the attack, but the
wildcat proved too powerful, when the little
fellow went to the assistance of his dog and
the wildcat turned on him, but by kicking he
succeeded in keeping the animal off until the
dog again renewed the attack. The little fel
low, realizing his situation to some extent,
pulled out his pen-knife and rushed upon the
ferocious animal and plunged the knife into
its throat, killing it instantly. Not until he
took it home did he know what kind of an
animal it was nor the danger be was in. The
wildcat was an extraordinary large one, and
the only wonder is that it did not tear him to
pieces.—Ebensbury
