The Huntingdon Journal .1. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A. Wednesday Morning, Feb. 11, 1874 , Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. THE BEDFORD AND BRIDGEPORT RAILROAD " Does this road pay ?" "No 1" "Well, what is to be done with it ?" That is just the question we desire to discuss for a few moments. What we have to say we urge the stockholders to weigh carefully, and j to discuss with their neighbors. It is well known to all the stockholders, that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at great expense, by the most audacious tactics, known only to the railway frater nity, seized this route and held it with an iron grasp, lest some road might reach for ward and tap the Pittsburg and Connells ville railway and thus secure a rival road from the eastern cities to the West. And when some of us thought that we had out flanked it and secured Bedford the adjan tage of competition be tween the natural enemies—the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania—through the duplicity of Hon. John Cessna, the paid attorney of Morrell, Wood & Co., all our hopes were blasted, and the Bedford and Bridgeport railroad sunk down to a mere connecting link between the Broad Top and Cumber land and Pennsylvania railroads. There It is to-day, not even paying expenses, if we are correctly informed, let alone paying the interest on its bonds. The great coal trains, aggregating millions of tons, which we were promised, have gone the way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and with the exception of a few straggling trains, in the winter season, no one is enriched very much by conveying the George Creek coal to market, by the opening of this route. The idea is a failure. The Pennsylva nia railroad can have very little if any further use for the "Sixteenth Division" in the future. The New Constitution has swept away, as if it were chaff, the dog in the manger policy, and capitailsts, who may deem it advisable, can build a road along side of the great•"B. & B," nor can Mr. Cessna or Wood, Morrell & Co. inter fere with their good intentions, if it is not deemed advisable to let them. The ground is open to the million and the dog is dead in the basket. now what is to be done with it ? There is only one way to get rid of it, and that is to lease it to one or other of the railroads with which it connects. By this means it could be run with com paratively little additional expense, and might be readily made to pay. And we have no hesitation in saying that the Broad Top Railroad Company is the prop er party to lease it. Whether it would do so, we are not informed, but certainly it is more interested than either of the other lines, and could run the B. & B. to much better advantage. We hope the stock holders—who may, some of these bright mornings, if nothing is done, find their shares not worth anything save for shaving paper—will agitate this matter, and, per haps (?) something may come of it. Shall the "B. A; B." be leased to Broad Top .? JUDICIAL APPORTIONMENT, The Senate Committee on the Judiciary General has fixed the number of judical dis tricts in the State at forty-eight, with two additional law judges for Philadelphia, one for York and Adams, one for Lu zerne, one for Dauphin and Lebanon, one for Clearfield, Center and Clinton, and one fur Butler and Lawrence. The bill pro posed increases the number of Judges at fifteen. It was reported to the Senate yesterday. Following is a list of the dis tricts agreed on : 1. Philadelphia, two additional judges. 2.

The new Election Law will be found on the outside of this issue of the JOURNAL. It makes many important changes and should be generally read.-- Let our readers give it a careful perusal. We have no doubt that it will very much improve our elections. There was entirely too much latitude in the old law. Rascals found it a very ecnvenient instrument for their purposes. The new law will do in justice to no one who will carefully inform himself of its provisions and pay due res pect to them. If a voter desires to vote be must see that he goes through the no. cessary steps to put himself within the rules of law. re. Surveyor General Beath, of Har risburg, Mr, Vanderslice, of Philadelphia, and E. J. Doty, of I.4lifflintown, arrived in Huntingdon on Monday, to Wok after the Camille Investigation, UPRIGHT PUBLIC SERVANTS- SENATOR SCOTT, EDITOR It is gratifying to find a purer political feeling growing up everywhere throughout the country. The hold which partisanship so long had upon the actions of individuals is relaxing; and something more is need ed to secure willing service than the force of party discipline. During the dark days of the war our country presented the sublimest examples of patriotic sacrifices, and also the most despicable instances of corruption and vil lainy. While the gallant soldiers were struggling in the field, the cavil offices were largely controlled by adventurers and spec ulators, whose loud professions of loyalty brought rich reward. The demoralization of war followed its conclusion, and bad men in high places brought disgrace on communities and States. The patience of the people became exhausted, and the of in notable instances were driven from power, and even subjected to impris onment. A general outcry fbr reform was raised, and men gave up party allegiance' in the hope of securing honesty in public ser vants. Attempts are made by Constitu tional enactments to prevent the rascality which has grown so common among the men who make and administer the laws. We rejoice to see this turning of the public mind towards the subject of purify ing the political atmosphere, and we ex pect good results eventually. A marked triumph has just been obtained in the selection of a Chief Justice. Party organs dared to speak out in bold utterances against nominations they deeni unworthy, and party caucuses even acted with manly independence. The majesty of the people is beginning to be recognised; and the day is rot far distant we believe, when our public men will be as distinguished for their personal purity as were the fathers. We do not belong to that class who hold to the degeneracy of race; on the other hand, we think that virtue and intelligence are becoming more-diffused, and that "the thoughts, of men are widened with the process of the suns." It is not that we have not worthy men to serve us ; but that the people have been too intent upon their chosen pursuits and have left the manage. ment of political affairs to the care of a set of willing servants, who make the public interests subserve their own. In this State an unusual interest is awakening, and we I have great hopes that in the future our purest and best men will come forward to take part in the political arena. This is the duty of every good citizen. Pennsyl vania is looked to by the sister States to advance in the honest work. We must send good men to our Legislature, must elect our best men to Congress, and have the State represented in the U. S. Senate by honorable and faithful citizens. And we would express our gratification at the high position in the respect of the people of this Commonwealth, and Of our common country, occupied by Hon. John Scott. Calumny has not ventured to sully hia fair fame. He has borne himself through his term with true senatorial dig nity, honoring his State no less than him self. He has been one of the most indus trious of the Senators, serving ably on the most important committees, and command. ing the esteem of his fellow members for his private virtues and his political fidelity. Without the brilliancy and rhetorical abili ty of some of his confreres; we believe for the solid, substantial qualifications' for his position, he is the peer of any in the Sen ate chamber. His legal attainments are of a high order; he is judicious and thought ful, attentive to his duties and prompt and decided in his act-ions; serving no master,. but ardent and jealous in his republicanism which be recognizes as the saving faith of the Republic and as the political organiza tion that has worked more good to man kind than had been hitherto achieved in our nation's history. No Senator from Pennsylvania has conferred more honor upon the State. Chosen solely for his worth, he has fully justified the choice.— The reasons that led to his selection will operate to retain him. It is the habit of of the States to continue acceptable Sena tors in their place. This is wise. Thetrain ning of one term makes them more efficient in succeeding terms, and increases their in fluence and power. The vantage ground of six years' experience in the Senate is im mense to a man in every way so worthy as Senator Scott. We trust the people of our Legislative and Congressional districts may be careful in their choice of candidates next fall.— Let them choose for themselves. Let them ignore rings and combinations of all kinds. Let them select their public servants as they would their privateagents, and we will hear less of plunderers and scoun drels,—Chambersburg Repository. mg& A Philadelphia paper states that a bill for the equalization of bounties will be reported toongress at an early day, probably on the basis of the bill introduc ed last year, which proposed to give a uni form bounty of eight and-one-third dollars per month to every officer or private who had served at any time either in the regu lar or volunteer service between April 15, 1861, and April 15, 1855, the bounty pay ments already made to be deducted, and the benefit of the provisions to be extend ed to the widows or other heirs of dead soldiers. This •is ail very pretty and patriotic; but we should like to know where the money is to come from. An "equalization" of bounties in the manner proposed would cost close in the neighbor hood of three hundred millions of dollars —the simple statement of which factshould be sufficient to show the utter impractica bility of the plan. es,„ The following passage from the New Constitutional az ticle on suffrage, may be profitably kept for general information and reference : "No person shall be qual ified to serve as an election officer, who shall hold, cr shall within two months have held any office, appointuteht or employment, in or under the Government of the United States, or of this State, or of ally city, or county, or of any municipal board, com mission or trust in any city, ewe only Justices of flee Peace and Aldermen, Vota ries Public, and persons in the militia ser vice of the State." SENATOR SCOTT AND THE TEN PER CENT. REDUCTION OF DUTIES. The statement has - been. made in several journals that the act of June 6, 1872, re ducing duties on foreign imports ten per cent. was not seriously opposed in either House of Congress. This is a mistake.— We can name at least ane leading Senator who opposed its passage—Senator Scott of Pennsylvania. On the 27th of May Mr. Scott protested earnestly against the re duction, and warned the Senate of the con sequences that would follow the adoption of the proposition. Because the Senate insisted upon the reduction being made, Mr. Scott and Mr. Chandler of Michigan, voted against the final passage of the tax and tariff bill. Mr. Scott's objections were to the effect that the proposed re duction was "simply a question of labor ; there is where the reduction is to come." He said further : "I wish the Senate to be warned that but one of two results can follow from this reduction, either utter prostration and ruin or the reduction of the price of labor; and if the Senate and the party with which I have the honor to act are ready for either of these results, I want them to look for ward to the filet that they arc preparing the way to bring them about. Ido not wish to be responsible for the results that are to follow this reduction. Looking to Pennsylvania, speaking for it, I shall not hold myself responsible for the results which will follow from this reduction and those who vote for this reduction must be ready to take the consequences which do follow ; for I tell you Mr. President, upon this question of labor (for it is that only) we are snore interested in that State, both physically, if I may so speak, or pecuniarily and politically, than Senators perhaps dream of." POSTAGE ON COUNTY PAPERS.—The Postmaster General, in a communication to the Senate, last week, makes the follow ing sensible recommendation in regard to the free transmission of county papers through the mails. Ire says : "There is one restriction, however, which he never advised, and which, in hisopinion, might be safely removed, and that is the provision which forbids free transportation of weekly newspapers within the counties of their publication, as heretofore authorized by law. The ground on which this recom mendation is made is. first, that such pa pers are so evenly distributed over the en tire extent of the country, and confined to lines of transit so short that they never have been known to impede the distribu tion and transportation of mails, and sec ondly , that the amount of postage levied upon them, as at present collected, whilst affording butof a, trifling revenue to the de partment, is yet heavy enougli to be severe ly felt by proprietors and patrons, and to obstruct the dissemination of local intelli gence. Good,reasons may also be given in favor of a free exchange between newspa pers." News and Notes from Washington WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 9, 1874.

A large number of important measures are now before Congress, but during the past week very few of these were finally disposed of by both Houses. The very considerable in crease in the membership of the House of Representatives, and the fact that many of the new members have had, up to their election, little or no experience in public life, are se rious impediments to the dispatch of business. Men are sent to Congress who have no settled convictions on any of the great questions that are brought before them for consideration ; others consider themselves well informed and fully competent to enlighten their peers, and who occupy no small portion of the time in debate, only to expose their own ignorance of the merits of the question under consideration. There is a growing impression in the minds of the thinking pertion of the Members that a smaller representation in Congress would subserve the interests of the country better and with more dispatch, and,itis now improb able that measures will be brought up for consideration, before the close of the present Congress, with a view to securing a material reduction of the number of members in the House of Representatives. The English Par liament, it is true, is composed of 658 Mem bers ; but it is also'true that they receive no pay, and rarely, on ordinary occasions are more than twenty-five per cent. of the Iletn bcrship in their seats. In fag,t there are not ever four hundred seats in the Commons, and no assignment of desks is made to any of the members, to hold through the session. The business of the session is done by a few work ing members, while the others are among their friends io the city, or at home upon their estates. ANOTHER LNVESTIGATION ORDERED, There is a lively quarrel between the Board of Public Works, of Washington, and a por tion of the tax-payers. The latter have pre ferred serious charges against the Board, and in a memorial to Congress have asked for a full and impartial investigation. Governor Shepard, who was Commander in Chief of the Board until be was appointed Governor to sueceed H. D. Cook, who resigned a few days before the failure of himself and brother, has presented a counter memorial, informing Co ngress that the memorialists are not entitled to a hearing, or certainly not to have a commit tee of investigation appointed. However, Congress has appointed a joint committee of both !louses, and an investigation will be commenced forthwith. W. W. Corcoran, one of our largest real estate owners, published a letter, ou Thursday, in the Baltimore Sun, in reference to this controversy, the following quotation from which will afford the readers of the JOURNAL an insight into some of the points in the controversy. He said: "On Friday last there was presented to the Sen ate a memorial of the Governor of the District, who, as stated, ''in cgMapOil with other officers of this District," had been arraigned eq eharfies made by "certain pretended taxpayers," ..That memorial it is not my purpose to notice except so far as the statements made therein may affect me. To show that I am defiantly refusing to pay my taxes, it is stated that I, as one of the largest property holders, have 'personally paid nothing on account of the improvements against which I protest, in defiance of the law of Congress approved February 21, 1871, providing that upon the prsporty adjoining and to be especially bene fited shall he y theiostn oveents Authorized by . la, there assessed a reasonable proportion of the cost, not exceeding one-third part thereof. To this document is appended an exhibit of assessments imposed for improvements, pretended to have been made under said act, of $27,326.41 still due by me." ~ T would state here that I am unequivocally in favor of the real and substantial improvement of this District, and every part thereof, and that at no time have I used either !fly means or influence in opposition thereto. But as emphatically de cline to allow my honest convictions as to the man ner in which the work has been done in this Dia -1 trict to be stifled by the only reply that has as yet been attempted to be made, and that the flimsy one that no objection or examination should be made on account of the beautifying work that has been done, and because such course will defeat appro priations by Congress." "The act quoted by the official who presented the memorial provides that a reasonable proportion of the cost, not exceeding one-third, shall be assessed upon the property adjoining and especially bene fited by. the improvements authorized by law.— Under this act pertain laws have been passed by our local Legislature pro, for fllprovetnents." "It is the opinion of many (and no ociirt, as I am advised, l,n as yet decided to the contrary) that the operations conducted thereunder have not been in compliance with the organic act, and one of the principal reasons that no such decision has been roado is that the law officers of oar District have interposed teptinipal ohjections which have prevented a full hearing by the court.' "Time alone can furnish the cireiltntagegs upon which a standing in court can he obtained in ink,' of these WPM' “The mode in which this work has bocn done, the absence of competition, the Loot that the prices were fixed by the Board of Public Works, and the work given to be done by }arsons of its own choosing; the large bills that have been pre sented in all quarters for an inconsiderable pro portion of the work done, give rise to a well grounded suspicion, at least, that the assessment upon adjoining property has been upon an exces sive cost for the whole' work. This work has been inn great degree improperly done, the charge for the same often double its value, and the system of assessment in a high degree onerous, in some cases amounting to more than the value of the property." °While the useless changes in'the grades of some of the streets, and particularly . Georgetown and on its principal thoroughfares, where in some pla ces filling up and cutting down has been made to the extent of almost thirteen or fJurteen feet, and that too against the almost unanimous protest of all interested, shows the arbitrary conduct of those under whose direction this work has been done." '-The tax for this work is a burden sufficiently onerous, but when there is added thereto the much larger cost of adapting the houses to these new grades, the wonder is how persons of moderate means will be able to meet these charges, without relief from the courts, or assistance from Congress in a way that will provide for the debt now exist ing,g. The home will in many cases have to be sold and I need not tell you that that work has even now begun." The House Committee on appropriations are vigilant in their efforts to cut down.appro priations. During the past week all the audi tors of the Treasury department and the com missioner of customs were beard with refer ence to the present condition of the work in their respective bureaus; the clerical force employed, and how it compares with the num bers employed prior to the war. Most of these officials took the ground that to reduce the clerical force of their offices would tend to de , stroy the efficiency of the public service. Judge Martin, sixth auditor of the Treasury, indicated that, in view of the increase of business pertaining to his bu-ean, he would be constrained at an early day to recommend an increase of at least twenty ad ditional clerks. Judge J. W. Wright, who was appointed agent of the Cherokee Nation, several years ago, is now on trial, under charges of defraud ing the Indians out of large sums of mosey. Quite an array of witnesses are called all the way from the Indian Territory and from other parts. The trial creates much interest in the city, as the Jade is a resident here. After his return from the Indian country the Judge put tip some fine buildings in the city, one of which is rented to the Government for SlO,OOO a year PROTECTION FOR THE INDIANS. The House Committee on Indian Affairs, on Friday, agreed to report a bill to make it a penal offence to cheat or defraud an Indian, or to fraudulently obtain his signature or mark to a receipt far money, which has not been fully explained to him. The main object of the bill is to protect the Indian from swin dling agents who impose upon them by taking advantage of their ignorance and confidence, and grow rich at their expense.

Out of the million of people who make up the population of this great Babel, fully Jone hundred thousand live on the labor of others —that is to say, are thieves of one sort or another. The worst of these are the advertis ing thieves, for while they steal, they do it in such an ingenious way as to escape the penal ties of the law. The history of. one or two of them may not be uninteresting. "G. R. Murray & C 0.," is a good name. Well, G. R. M. & Co. advertise that they possess $1,500,000 of watches, pianos and jewelry, which they will "distribute" by lot at one dol lar for each ticket. You are invited to send twenty-five cents to these benevolent gentle men, receiving therefor a ticket which de scribes the prize you are entitled to. You send your twenty-five cents and you do get a ticket like this: "MERCANTILE PRIZE ASSOCIATION." "Certificate No. 22733." "This certificate when accompanied by one dollar, (and fifty cents for packing), entitles the holder to one Silver-Hunting Cased Watch, valued at $l5 00. State how you wish it sent.. Now send $1 50 and what happens. Noth ing. You never hear of it again. And as these fellows get letters by the bushel, every one of which contains money, it is not diffi cult to suppose that they live in clover.— Their office is, in one advertisement, in one place ; in another, another, so that victims jn search of them never find them. The police get after them, but they change their style so frequently that it is impossible to catch them. The fellows who are to-day doing business over the name of G. R. Murray & Co.. have within a year been known as the United States Tontine Association, of 23 tark Row; as Nor ton, Quinn & Co., 212 Broadway; as Holliday, Lewis & Co., of 23 Park Row ; as Walter B. Turner & Co., of 746 Broadway; as H. IL Brid. dle & Co., 50 Broad street ; as Chester V. Dud ley & Co, of 34 New street ' • as Alvah Young, of 205 Broadway ; as Edward Seville & Co., of 34 New street ; as Oswald West & Co., of 46 Broad street ; as S. Soloman & Co., of 134 Nas sau street ; and as Gilbert Putnam & Co., of 64 Broadway. But ingenious as the gentlemen are the last two months has developed a more GORGEOUS SCOUNDRELISIE The only expense attending these swindles is the advertising, and how to dodge them has been the question with them. Two of these thieves assumed the name of "Kirkwood d; Beach, Advertising Agents,"- and issued an order to the newspapers of the country, ad vertising a dozen or more of bogus articles, under a dozen or more different names, the price of which was always to be sent by mail to the P. 0. Bax designated. To seduce the publishers of the country these villains boldly referred to A. T. Stewart, C. A. Dana, and Jas. Gordon Bennett, of New York, to M. Hal stead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, and D. R. Locke, of the Toledo Blade. As their offer to the papers were liberal, and their references unexceptionable, hundreds of papers publish ed their advertisements, and immediately cords of letters came to the different parties named, all of which Kirkwood do Leach took out of the Post-Office and appropriated, of course. As a matter of course the newspapers pub ishing the advertisements will never get a cent; those who send money to the various addresses will never get what they send for ; in short the only people who get anything ate the ingenious scoundrels who assume the fitm name of "Kirkwood & Beach." When will people learn wisdom ? When will people learn that a dollar is a dollar, and, when a man proposes to give two dollars for one, that he means a swititle and there is a swindle nn der it. May I impress on your readers this important maxim : Never send money to any person whom you do not know. Is it a medi cal prodigy? There is no physician in the great pities who knows a particle more than do your own practitioners. is it a piano, watch or diamond distribution ? These goods hhve a fixed value in the market, and if any one has them there is no earthly use of mak ing a sacrifice to dispose of them. In short, a little common sense is all that is necessary to protect a person from these swindlers. Do good people, who read these lines, use a little common sense and save your money. cinefous aopippr It has been discovered that the uper-crust criminals in the tombs have organized a so ciety for mutual defense. By upper crust I mean the big thieves, the burglars, the for gers and murderers. They contribute so much each to a fund for defending each in his turn, and a fixed sum which goes to the fami ly of the one convicted and sentenced. This is go-operation in a new direction. But why not? Ornne is a regular trade with all the rules and regulations that other trades have. POLITICAL INCIDENTS. The Democracy of Brooklyn arc made of the same material as their brethren of New York. At a primary meeting in the Nineteenth Ward, a return was handed in signed by a man earned Cunningham. A man at the end of the wom cried out, PI dpn't believe dlr. Cloning. ham signed that return," whereupon fir. Cun. ningbam jumped to his feet and daclared that he had signed it. The voice from the end of the room quickly retorted, "Paddy Cunning ham didn't sign it. Paddy Cunningham can't write his name ; I have a document in my pocket to which his mark is affixed." At the meeting of the General Committee amusing incidents were related of rooms in which voting was being carries: on, being cleared by force, and the ballot-boxes stuffed to suit the muscular majority. At the Nine teenth Ward primary the voting was brought to an abrupt termination by cutting off the gas. Democracy is the same now that it al,. ways was. It is a noticeable fact that the churches of Nov York are almost bare of women twice ettelt* Pittr , -..in the periods between Winter and Spring, and Autumn and Winterwhep it's ton;ccdd fur a summer bonnet and not cold enough for a winter head-covering. But re ligion is now being made fashionable. Pen pie are now iqvitedtoprayer,meotingspreoise, ly as invited to a social soiree or an evening party. A friend of mine gave one the follow ing transcript of a card which he received :"Mr. and Mrs.—proposes (I).

After a while he discoi - ered that the cabalistic sign stood for Tea and Prayer. He went and reported. After tea, Bibles were handed round on a tray and religious exercises were held. Curious world thief. BUSINESS continues to improve. Collections, we are assured by one of our largest dry goods houses, are very much better this year than they were last. So far, in this month ofJanuary, in the house referred to, the collections are at the rate of seven per cent. better than in January, 1873. This result upon old obligations is cer tainly both favorable and hopeful. The fact is the panic of last fall had no reality in it. It had no bottom, and should have affected nothing. But men got frightened, and it took just so long a time far them to get over their fright. They are over it now and business goes on as usual. TILE WEATIIEII is as zhangeable here as a fashionable woman. In the morning zero—at noon Ge—at night rain, and ice by midnight. You need over coats, unbrellas, linen dusters and fans to be perfectly safe when you go out. Oh for an old-fashioned winter. PIETRO. Letter from Harrisburg Apportionment—Salmies of ludoes—Training of Common School Teachers—Compulsory At tendance at School—Free Passes—Local Leyis lation—Pro Bono Putlico—The Murderers. flAnßrssußG, Feb. 7, 1874. The Senatorial and Representative appor tionment is still a secret, but the committee has reported the following Judicial apportion ment. [See districts in another colnmn.] - This apportionment will make 15 more Judges than at present exist. The Governor is authorized to appoint these additional Judges, and until he does so the present Judg es will hold their positions. SALARIES 01 , JUDGES, The House has been busy with the discus sion of the salary question. Mr. Ramey, of Indiana, moved to amend the bill as it came from the heads of the Committee by making the salary of Chief Justice seven thousand dol lars instead of nine; of Associate Justice, seven thousand instead of eight; of Common Pleas Judges of Philadelphia and Allegheny five thousand instead of seven ; and of other Judges four thousand instead of five, except ing the Judge of Dauphin county who is to receive six thousand, another amendment to allow the Judges mileage made the amendment substantially the same as the present law. The friends of the increase ofJudicial sal aries were too strong for the opposition party and the amendment was detested by a pretty decided vote. It was argued against this amendment that it was both unjust and un constitutional. Unjust for the reason thatthe Common Pleas Judges of Philadelphia sit al most continually the year round while the country Judges are occupied with duties per taining to their offices only". small portion of the time. Unconstitutional for the reason that the New Constitution provides that "nothing contained in this Constitution shall be held to reduce the compensation now paid to any law Judge of this Commonwealth, now in commission." The amendment was ably ad vocated by Messrs. Wolf, Orvis and others. When the bill comes up for further considera tion other and successful amendments will probably be offered. TRAINING COMMON SCHOOL TEACHERS. A bill has been offered in the House to pro vide for the due training of teachers for the Common Schools of this Commonwealth. The bill provides that Normal school dis tricts shall remain as they are, and where there are none they shall be established. The preduniary affairs of these institutions are to be regulated by a board of 18 trustees, 12 to be elected by the stockholders and the other 6 to be appointed by the Superintendent. That all appropriations to Normal schools shall be distributed by a commission consist ing of the Governor, the State Superintendent of Common Schools and the Attorney General. That a meeting, of the principals of• the several Normal Schools throughout the State, for the purpose of fixing upon a general course of study and arranging other matters within their jurisdiction, shall be called, at Harris burg by the State Superintendent, whenever be deems it necessary, or upon request made by three principals of Normal Schools. COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL, A bill is now in the hands of the Houser Committee on Education relative to compul sory attendanCe of children at school. It pro vides that every person having a child under his control shall be required to send that child to school at least 12 weeks in every year B of which are to be consecutive or failing to do so shall pay into the school treasury a sum not exceeding $2l. Provided however, that this law shall be null and void in rases of poverty, or where the child has gone to school in some other district, or has passed an examination in such school. FREE PASSES. Brockway has introduced a bill into the House providing for the abolition of the entire free pass system. It forbids Railroads or oth er transportation companies from issuing to any one except actual officers of the road, or emplojes upon its pay rolls, free passes or pas ses at a discount under a penalty of a fine not less than $lOO or more than $5OO. The bill makes the party using the pass, equally liable with the party issuing it. LOCAL LEGISLATION Brockways local legislation bill was report ed from the. Conference Committee in its orig inal shape. The House and the Senate bay ing both receded from their amendments.

EDITOR JocusAL—Dear Sir:—Being a native of old Huntingdon county, and proud of the home of my birth, I feel a pleasure in attempt., jug to write a line for your most excellent pa per. _ . _ A few short weeks ago I bid adieu to your county in order that I might sojourn for a while in Williamsport, and after arriving safely in this beautiful city, I was soon on the look out for the many places of interest for which it is noted, and since I have not time to give you a full description of the city, nor speak of all the interesting features of the place, yet I will try to give your many readers some idea of the plane known as Williamsport. Lt is a city containing about 20,000 inhabitants, situ ate on the left bank of the Susquehanna river, twenty eight miles north-east of Lock Haven, and, for its size, is said to be one of the best lumber markets in the United States. You can scarcely form an idea of the amount of lumber that is shipped from here daily, and were you to visit the large lumber-yards that nearly surround the city, you could not help but feel that Williamsport well deserves the game of ‘ , Pennsylvania's Lumber City." Nor is it to be wondered at, that when there were rumors about the removal of the State eapital, wavy persons looked to Williamsport as the proper place for it. Its magnificent residences are said to be the finest in the State, outside of the Quaker City, and its educational facili ties cannot be surpassed ; The High School ha s a very thorough course of study, and pre pares students for college, while within its boundary is situated Dickinson Seminary, which ranks among the finest institutions of learning in the land, and since the dismissal of Professor Spottswood, and the resignation of his father, as President, the Institution has taken a grand step toward prosperity. Prof. Else has been elected President pro tem, and at the same time has charge of the department of mathematics, which he very ably fills ; his equal, as a ehristian gentleman and scholar, would certainly be hard to find. Dr. Nays, of this city, has been elected Professor in that scientific; department, and during the short space of two weeks, by bis kind and endear ing manner, has won the confidence and re, Bard of the entire school. Of his qualifications it is not necessary for me to speak, for as a scientist he is popular everywhere. The rest of the faculty remain the same as heretofore. I, ot. the present I must say atlicu, MORE 459 N, Ez•Sherifi' Drennan and Deputy Shields, of New York, have been released. THIRTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE of au old Nurse. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is the prescription of one of the best Female Physicians and Nurses in the United States, and has been used fur thirty years with never fail ing safety and success by millions of mothers and children, from the feeble infant of one week old to the adult.

We believe it to be the Best and Surest Remedy in World in all eases of Dysentery and Diarrhoea in Children, whether it arises from Teething or from any other cause.

CENTAUR LINIMENT. There is no pain, which the Centaur Liniments will not relieve, no swelling they will not subdue, and no lameness which they will nut care. This is strong language, but it its true. They have produced more cams of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy, sprains, swelling, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &c., upon the human frame, and of strains, spariu, galls, dm, upon the animals in one year than have all other pretended remedies since the world began. They are counter-irritant, all healing pain relievers. Cripples throw away their crotches, the lame walk, posionous bites are rendered harmless and the wounded are healed without a sear. The recipe is pub lished around each bottle. They sell as no article ever be fore sold, and they sell because they do just what they pre tend to do. Those who now suffer from rhumatism, pain or swelling, deserve tosuffer if they will not use Centaur Liniment, white wrapper.. More than 1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including frozen limbs, chronic rheu matism, gout, running tumors, .te., have been received. We will send a circular containing certifieates, the recipe gratis, to any one requesting it. One bottle of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth ene hundred dollars for spavined or sweenied horses and mules, or for ecrew-worm m sheep.

If anybody has used the thorough and scientific course of treatment recommended by the proprietor of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy for the cure of Catarrh and has not'aeon perfectly cured, the proprietor; Dr. R. T. Pierce, would like to hear from that person, and by addressing him in the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., such person, if there be one, will here of something tohis or her advan tage, as the Doctor in in earnest when he offers $5OO re ward fur a case of Catarrh which be cannot cure, and is perfectly able to pay it if he fails in a tingle case, as any one may ascertain upon inquiry. The thorough retiree of treatment rehired to and recommended by Dr. Pierce consists iu the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche which is the only means by which the fluid can be carried high np and applied to all parts of the nasal passages and the chambers connected therewith in which ulcers exist and from which the discharge pro ceeds. In addition to this thorough application of the Remedy, which should always be used warm, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should be taken cm - nosily as constitutional treatment, without which few cases can be cured as the dissam is always constitutional and must be treated accordingly. This treatment has no unpleasant features about it, and has the advantage of never driving the disease to the longs as there is danger of doing by the use of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous solution.. PLAIN PACTS. Feaaaroar, Mich., Sept. 13111,1813.. A year agu I had a bad cough from the Catarrh which had got in my throat. I tripd a good many things but got nothing to.
