Some of the railroad companies are issuing
tickets, to newspapers, in the nature of a con
tract, in which they agree to carry a certain
person named, over their road, for a certain
period, as a full consideration for the publi
cation of their time table, kc., kc. This, it
is thought, does not violate the New Con
stitution, because it is a fare exhange of
commodities.
The Blair county Radical mixed Speer up
in the Louisiana muddle. This is too bad.
John Milton had entirely exhausted himself
in the West Virginia case, and certainly hadn't
sufficient ammunition left to attack Louis
ina affairs. It is very nnthir to assail him in
this way. When that gentleman will make
his next feint we cannot say, but we do not
think it will be in thb direction of Louisiana.
We publish, in anther column, an account
of a very bold robbery, which has been suc
cessfully accomplished in Bedford county.
The large amount of mosey hoarded by far
mers and others, during the late panic, has
proved very lucrative to this class of villains;
and no one can tell what moment a gang of
these cut throats will swoop down upon him
awl clean him out. We would advise those
having money, to take a decent interest for it
and put it in circulation.
At $3.80 per 1000 feet df poor gas, Hun
tingdon pays well for her light. The
result is that not more than one-third of
the town uses it. This ought not to be. But
when coal oil can be had at 30 cents per
gallon and less, people cannot be induced to
pay $2.50 for an amount of gas, which will
make light equal to that made by a gallon
of coal oil. There is some opposition wanted
in the Gas business; it is too much of a
monopoly.
The Mount Union Pima says: "Better late
than never" is an old maxim that was verified
in the marriage of our jolly friend John S.
Bare, to Miss Elsie J. Shaver, on last Wednes
day evening. A select party had assembled
at the residence of the bride's parents to wit
ness the nuptials. Immediately after the cer
emony the cowbellians began a lively serenade,
and accompanied the happy couple to the
station, to take the train. The .young couple
have our warmest wishes for future prosperty,
and happiness.
Our correspondent "Bob" writes us from
Shirleysburg : "The Poor Directors met on
Tuesday. Mr. Horring's friends (?) or masters,
not feeling willing to trust him out oltheir
sight, sent a man with him to see that he did
their bidding. Mr. Harmon was on hand de
manding his position as Steward. At a:pri
vate interview with the Directors, Richardson
said to him 'I recognize Logan as Steward.'
Horning said, 'So do I.' Mr. ltyper being in
the minority could do nothing but sulimit to
the powers that be."
We would again remind our readers!tbat
we have better facilities for printing sale bills
than any other office in the county. We have
three last presses, a hand-press, and a better
selected stock of type, than any office outside
of the cities, and our workmen cannot be
surpassed. Our facilities for executing cards,
envelopes, letter-heads, bill-heads, note-heads,
circulars. dodgers, &c., arc unsurpassed with
in two hundred miles of Huntingdon, and our
prices are very low. Farmers having vendues
this spring, and business men who need
any kind of printing, will be promptly and
satisfactorily served at the JOURNAL office.
GRAND GIFT CONCERT.—We would call

THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN TOLD.
The Sub-Committee appointed by the Leg
islature to investigate the charges against
A. L. Guss consisting of Messrs. Anderson,
Warfel, Rattan, Collins, and Chalfant, of the
Senate, and Messrs. Oliver, Henry, Young,
Jones, Orvis and Reynolds, of the House, ar
rived here on Monday evening and at seven
and a half o'clock proceeded to organize.
The part of the people was ably represented
by Messrs. Vanderslice, of Philadelphia, Doty,
of Juniata, and Brown, of this place. Sur
veyor General Beath appeared on the part of
the Grand Army of the Republic. Guss was
represented by Messrs. Petriken, Woods and
Lytle, of this place. After a little preliminary
skirmishing, Miss Kate M.Handeuff was called
to the stand and qualified. She is an intel
ligent young lady, nineteen years of age, of
preposessing appearance, and of remarkable
memory. She proceeded to relate that she
had been some four years at Cassville, that at
four different times, commencing when she was
between thirteen and fourteen years of age, A.
L. Guss made improper advances to her, one ,
of which was very much like a rape under the '
circumstances. The testimony was simply
horrifying. She stated that she had been com
pelled, by fear, to make an affidavit of the fal
sity of one of these charges. She gave other
most damaging testimony. She was subjected
to a most rigid cross-examination, covaring a
period of three-quarters of an hour, which
only resulted fn strengthening every point re
lated before. In not a single instance did she
fail to confirm her statement in chief. The
truth of her statement impressed itself upon
everybody. She is a school teacher and one
of the most respectable young woman in
Blair county. After a very questionable ef
fort to browbeat the witness and failing, Mr.
Lytle withdrew from the case. A course
which, if pursued by his colleagues, would
have done them infinite credit. Miss Hand
cuff was corborated materially by her moth-
The Committee will set again this (Tuesday:
morning.
Too much credit cannot be given to Survey—
or General Beath, as the representative of the
Grand Army of the Republic, for the working
up this horrible iniquity. If Mr. Wickersham
had displayed the one—sixth of the zeal shown
by General Beath the perpetrator of these
crimes would be now safely quartered, at the
public expense, west of the mountains.
DARING ROBBERY 7N BEDFORD COUN
TY—four Disguised Men Steal Two Thousand
Dollars.—The Everett Press says: From
street rumors told by persons who bad
been in Bedford and reported by others, we
get the following particulars of the most dar
ing robbery ever perpetrated in this county.
Mr. 'high B. Wertz, a bachelor and well-to-do
farmer, with his maiden sister, is living on a
fine preperty about two miles from Mann's
Choice. On Saturday evening, shortly after
dark, they were startled by footsteps on the
porch ; and almost immediately thereafter four
persons came into the room. Mr. Wertz no
ticed that the leader had a club, and almost
instantly received a blow over the head. The
blow was not enough to strike him senseless,
and comprehending the situation lie at once
grappled with his antagonist, wrenched the
club from him, and with a well-directed blow,
sent him over the stove. The three others came
to the rescue of their companion and in a short
time overpowered Mr. Wertz, and bound him
and his sister, when they at once commenced
ransacking the house.
They bad satchels and deposited everything
of value that they could find in them. In the
struggle Mr. Wertz saw that they were white
men with only their faces and hands blacken
ed. After leaving the house, Miss Wertz,
managed to get loose and at once loosened
here brother, and both started for a neighbor's
house, but were seen by the robbers, driven
back to the house and again bound. On loosen
ing themselves the second time, they succeed
ed in giving the alarm, but nothing could bb
found of the perpetrators of the deed. About
$2,000 in gold, silver and Government bonds
were taken. Four men on three horses are
reported to have been seen passing through
Centreville early on Sunday morning, and ,
three horses were stolen in Cumberland val
ley on the same night. No doubt they were
the same parry on their way to Cumberland.
Mr. Wertz offers three hundred dollars for
their arrest.
How TYRONE DERIVED ITS NAME.—
J. C. 11., the historical correspondent of the
Bellefonte Watchman, gives the following as
the way in which Tyrone derived its name:
Many years ago au old man might have been
seen riding to the etore (this being the Gulp
store for many miles around,) upon an old
roan mare. His son, Eben, walked along side.
I don't know why he walked, unless his daddy
wouldn't let him ride. As I said, they were
going to the store for groceries. Across that
• old mare's back was a bag with a gallon jug
in either end, which they intended having fill
ed with groceries. Some called it whisky.
They arrived at the store, bought one pound
of crackers and two gallons of liquid grocer
ies then started home, the old man astride of
the old roan. They went but a short distance
until the old gent discovered the supply of
' whisky was not equal to the crackers, when he
alighted, handed the rein to the boy and start
ed' for another quart. As he did so, he said
to the boy, "Tie Roan." The boy was thought
less and left the animal stand, while be went
off to sip some sap from a sugar tree near by.
Upon returning, the old man saw the mare
loose and making off with the groceries upon
her back. He yelled to Eben, saying, "You
infernal young scoundrel, Tio Roan!" The
boy merely looked up from his sap sipping and
said, "Oh, for a thousand tongues. ' The
father yelled and swore and said. "Why the
devil don't you Tie Roan?" Becoming en
raged
at Ehen ' lie threw a large stone at him,
which might have hit him, had he not been
too far off. This racket frightened the ani
mal, when she started on a run down the bill,
stumbled and broke her neck, and, of course,
spilled the contents of the jug. The old man
became deranged over this misfortune, and for
a whole day and night all lie could say was
"Tie Roan." The merchant, who was an illit
erate sort of a was, the next day hung out a
shingle with the words, "Tyrone Grocery
Store" painted upon it, and the name has
never been changed from that day to this.
merely mention these historical facts for the
benefit of the young.
MR. SAMUEL MARCH, for many years a
clerk in the employ of his brothers, Wm.
March & Bro., has resigned his position intend
ing to go into business for himself, and his
place has been supplied by Mr. J. Al. Foreman,
an obliging and attentive salesman, who will
be happy to wait upon old and new friends,
feeling confident that he will give them entire
satisfaction in their dealings with him.

IRREGULAR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
its. EDITOR :-An individual with whom I
am acquainted, after listening to a rather pun
gent sermon, went home very indignant at the
speaker, declaring that the aiscourse was pre
pared for his special benefit; but lie was mis
taken, for the minister had not even thought
of him when preparing his discourse. Now I
do not say that the character of "my friend,"
as drawn in my former atticle on irregular at
tendance, is merely a myth; yet I do affirm
that it is, with the exception of a few minor
points, not altogether fanciful, the represen
tive of the character of a large class of indi
viduals.
They, as a general rule, are honestmen, and
most heartily despise, whether educated or
uneducated, the contemptible, villains who
live by public plunder. They are industrious
and they look with just contempt upon those
useless specimens of humanity who are too
indolent to work for a living and consequently
live upon other people's earnings. They are,
in fact, in many respects, the bone and sinew
of our country, but they do not manifest much
interest in educational matters, because they
cannot see that education is of much impor
tance to their children.
The practical problem for the friends of ed
ucation to solve is how to overcome this crim•
inal indifference of parents.
Some whose authority in educational mat
ters is entitled to respect, advocate a compul
sory school law, but with all due deference to
their judgment, I cannot agree with them as
to the propriety of such a measure. I object
to it; first, because I have but little confi
dence in the efficiency of any law which is not
sustained by public sentiment.
Take for example the laws in t elation to
profanity, Sabbath-breaking and intemper
ance, and of what utility are these laws in
communities in which the Christian religion
has not created a healthy moral sentiment?
Even the most casual observer knows that
they are a dead letter; second, because a law
of this kind violates a most sacred right of the
parent.
God has delegated to the parent certain in
alienable rights, which no law, enacted by
human authority, should presume to violate.
I claim that as a parent, I have a right to say
how my children shall be educated, to what
extent they shall be educated, and by whom
they shall be educated, being answerable to
God, however, for the manner in which I per
form the sacred duties to my children which
Ile has plainly enjoined upon me. Must I be
compelled, I ask, to send my children, who do
not . possess vigorous health, during the severe
winter weather, so frequent imthis inhospita
ble climate, toa building so constructed as to
be liable to engender disease and, perhaps,
premature death; and perhaps to a teacher
who has neither the intellectual nor moral
qualifications, which are indispensible to the
proper training of immortal minds? If any
Legislative enactment can rightfully compel
me to send my children to a secular school, to
receive intellectual training, then the same
authority may, with greater propriety, compel
me to give them moral training and it may
dictate the kind. I cannot conceive of a sin
gle argument in favor of the former which may
not be applied, with greater force, to the lat
ter. It is argued that the future welfare of
our children demands that they should be ed
ucated ; that their intellectual powers should
be properly developed, but does not their fu
ture welfare, both for time and eternity, de
pend, in a much higher degree, upon their re
ligious training? Again, it is said that our
national prosperity, nay even our national ex
istence depends on the intelligence of our citi•
se.; but who that has read the lessons of his
tory to any good purpose, does not know that a
nations prosperity and permanence depends in
a much higher degree on its fidelity to those
great moral precepts which lie at the founda
tion of all true greatness either in individuals
or nations? It is further argued that inas
much as the State compels her citizens to pay
taxes for maintaining a system of Common
Schools, therefore no parent should he per
mitted to deprive his children of a public ben
fit secured to them at a costly expenditure of
public money. But does not the State tax her
citzens heavily to build jails and penitentiaries
and to administer justice through courts and
inferior tribunals, and might not all this ex
pensive machinery of the government be in a
great measure, dispensed with, if every com
munity were moral and virtuous? Finally I
am opposed to a compulsory school law be•
cause it is contrary to the genius of our insti
tutions, and because from the very nature of
our school system such a law must ever be
impracticable.
Suppose a law of this character to be in ex
istence. Here is a family of children whose
parents are poor, and who can scarcely find
food to fill their hungry months or clothing to
cover their shivering limbs, but several of
them are able to go to school, and are of the
proper age, and the law says they must go.
The parents need the service of the older ones
to support the family, and they are unable to
buy the necessary clothing and books. But
the advocates of compulsion say the State
must provide fir all these wants, but the
parents dislike the law, and they agree that
they won't send their children to school, an
officer is therefore dispatched to bring the de
linquents forthwith.
On arriving the parents say that the chil
dren are quite unwell and that it would be
imprudent to send them before they receive
their health. The officer don't believe this
story and be starts to ride five or six miles to
bring a physisian to feel the pulse, but unfor
tunately the phycician is from home, feeling
the pulse of some other delinquents. Tide day
following, however, the children are pro
nounced able to attend school, and, like cul
prits, they are forced to go. Now when taken
to school in this way it might requires teach
er of more than ordinary ability to excite in
them a love for study, but the teacher to
whom they are taken cannot even write a
copy without mis-spelling a word, and his
knowledge of other branches is about in the
same proportion. It may be. however, that I
do not know anything about how the law is to
operate. Then will not some friend to forcing
children to school draw up a bill that we may
give it a fair examination. Enough for the
present, but, Mr. Editor, with your kind per
mission, I will continue the subject as leisure
affords opportunity._

1.11 ER A RY DEPARTMENT.
A. B. BRCIIBACGII, N. D., Editor. All matter pertaining
to Ode department, should le addresami to P. O. Box
12, Buntingtion, Pa.
The Aldine, for February, is the mostinteresting
and attractive number, of that most beautiful of
all periodicals, to the people of this part of Penn
sylvania, that has yet been issued. During last
summer a stranger stopped for a time in our town,
and was seen to start out daily with his light um
brella and box; no one seemed to know for what
purpose, and until this number of the Aldine ar
rived none knew the name of the stranger, but
here we have several illustrations of familiar sce
nery, so true to the originals that they are instant
ly recognized. One of these is a grand and mas
sive full-page picture representing the "Juniata.
River, near Huntingdon, Pa.," showing the side
cut on the railroad, immediately below our town,
usually called the "Stone Quarry," and remarkably
"true to nature." The two views of the inlet and
outlet of "Sinking Spring," in Sinking Valley,
portray that wild and rugged scenery, 'ahem the
river flows a mile under the mountain. Two other
charming' sketches, nll by the same artist—Mr.
John Bows—one of the "Lewistown Narrows,"
and the other of the "Juniata River near Lewis
town"—complete what can he said to be the finest
series of pictures of American scenery yet publish
ed, and we have a prospect of more, because this
artist spent some time among the enchanting sce
nery in whifh this famous Juniata Valley, along
the "Blue Juniata," abounds. While they are of
special interest to this vicinity, every month the
readers of this line periodical enjoy similar treats
from some section of the country where beauty in
nature is found. Besides these, this number con
tains several other very fine engravings, and the
literary contents are choice, varied and original.
"A Juniata Jaunt" will be found interesting, as it
relates to this section of country. Every lover of
the tine arts should subscribe for the Aldine. We
have the agency for this vicinity, and will gladly
supply it to all. Price $5.00, wills the two beau
tiful chromes.
The Riverside Bulletin, formerly published
monthly, as the announcement sheet of /Turd sk
Houghton, and greatly prized for the good news
it brought, of the new and valuable publications
of the "Riverside Press," as well as its wise and
witty article on some literary subject, has now
become the Editorial Department of Erery Satur
day, occupying the last two pages of that hand
some weekly of choice reading. The new serials
"Far From the Maddening Crowd," recently be
gun in Every Saturday, is greatly admired by
English critics. It is .a story of remarkable pow
er. The "London Spectator" says of it, that If
it is not written by George Eliot, then there is a
new light among novelists."
The Galaxy is perhaps the most ably edited of
our American magazines, and is certainly very
attractive and entertaining; and it is entertaining
in a way that is useful. Its new department of
•'Science Miscellany," to appear in every number,
will aid in disseminating scientific information, so
much needed among the masses.
Arth4r'e Home Magazine, with its illustrations,
its bright, cheerful and varied contents forms quite
an agreeable companion for the fireside and home
circle. It offers great inducements for 1874, and
we doubt not bat that the publishers, T. S. Ar
thur k Son, will snake good every promise.—We
have another magazine for the little ones, The
Children's Hours, to present to their notice this
week; and it is so beautiful that it will strongly
commend itself to their affections and patronage.
A beautiful picture is given to every subscriber—
" Peace be Unto this House," a beautiful steel en
graving, the English copy of which, it is said,sells
fur isl 4, is sent free to every subscriber to Arthur'.
