"Republicans of the town of Huntingdon are
a strange breed of cats," which so amused him
that he almost went into "conniptions." He
said the idea'of tying up two cats by their
tails and throning them over a pole suggested
itself to him, as he always liked to see the
treacherous things fight.
Birmingham is an ancient village, situated

ONCE AGAIN.— Thy Huntingdon Agri
cultural Society—lts Failure to Pay a Just
Claim.—A few days since the Morning Tribune
called attention to the fact that the young
men who run the Huntingdon County Agri
cultural Society, positively refused or failed
to pay the Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Com
pany, of this city, the prize of one hundred
dollars offered to the company whose engine
would throw a stream of water the greatest
distance at a contest conducted during the
last fall meeting of the Society in question,
and which was fairly won by the Vigilant
Company. Since mention was made of the
matter the Hollidaysburg Register has had
this to say :
The Altoona Tribune thinks the Huntingdon
County Agricultural Society ought to pay the
award of one hundred dollars which they of
fered to the engine throwing a stream of water
the greatest distance, to the Vigilant Steam
Fire Company, of that city, she having"filled
the bond"—and we think so too.
lu addition to the foregoing, the Hunting
don JOURNAL, of this week, contained the fol
lowing on the same subject :
The Altoona Tribune goes for the Hunting
don County Agricultural Society_ and the
Huntingdon Fire Company for not paying over
a prize of $lOO due the Vigilant Steam Fire
Company, of Altoona. We thought this money
was paid over? What's the matter? The :ire
men assure us that they have nothing to do
with it. Why don't the Agricultural Society
pay it?
The Jouaxm. utters brave words, and with
it we inquire, "what's the matter?" Why is
the claim, than which there is none more just,
not paid? With due deference and in all
candor we are free to admit that the manner
in which the Huntingdon boys conduct an agri
cultural exhibition or county fair is not calcu
lated to impress either the resident or visitor
with their competency or reliability for the
task they have undertaken. If they thus vio
late with impunity the promises made to one
party, they doubtless did and will continue to
do so with many another, until the fraud and
deception is unearthed. As they acted in bad
faith with the Vigilant Fire Company, they
also acted in a like manner with other Blair
county people who assisted in making the ex
hibition the success it proved to be. One
gentleman of this city entered his horse for a
speed premium, promptly complyihg with the
rules of the society in paying the entrance
fee cf ten per cent. of the puree, yet in addi
tion thereto he was compelled to do some
thing which no other association ever asked or
doubtless ever will ask a person to do who
enters a horse for a speed premium—plty gate
money for himself, horse and groom. The
gentleman succeeded in taking first money in
the race, yet bad he been as lenient toward
the agricultural society as the Vigilant Fire
Company has been, he too would be wonder.
ing what is the reason assigned for the failure
to pay a just claim. Had he not thteatened
to expose the incompetency of the manage
ment of the society, and at the same time
taken the initiatory steps toward the collec
tion of the claim by legal process, we are in.
dined to the belief that he would never have
secured a sum of money which had been fairly
and honorably won. Other examples of the
loose manner in which the thing has been
managed, might be cited, but we forbear. The
motto of Ned Nevin, the newsboy, was : "If
Ido nothing bad, something good will come
to me," but it is not applicable to the man
agement of the Huntingdon County Agricul
tural Society.—Alloona Daily Tribune, April 2.
BARNUM Comso.—We have received
a letter from P. T. Barnum, in which he says :
"No one knows better than I the value of
"printers' ink," as the millions I have spent
in advertising attest. And no one appreciates
snore highly the courtesy and liberal treat
ment I have universally received from editors
throughout the world. Without the notoriety
obtained through the public press, amusements
would languish. Fortunately for managers,
the public, always on the qui rive for some
thing new, feel an interest in reading their
pious and purposes. Another year has rolled
around and a new season come, with new ef
forts and enterprises, necessitating another
appendix to my autobiography—now in press.
This book was first published by Burr & Co.,
of Ilartford, in 1869, and sold by subscription
only, at 53.50 per copy, In 1871 I purchased
the copyright and electrotype plates, and have
enlarged the book to 890 pages, beside adding
new illustrations, and bringing the record
down to March, 1874. I intend to visit
your region, during the coming summer, with
my great show."

of Shade Gap! Invitations came too thick,

to see him out in "full feather" in a few days.

ADVERTISEMENTS—MOW S ' pent
has Proved to be Money Earned.—Adwertise
meats in newspapers, as now published in
journals wherever the English language is
spoken, were not generally known until early
iu the last century. The earliest British news
papers were quite destitute of advertismeuts ;
the first. business notices found in these pioneer
sheets relate to books; next we find runaway
apprentices posted in the papers ; quack med
eines followed. The first article of merchan
dice advertised by a trader, except books and
medical mostrums, was tea. Auction; came
into vogue and had quite a rage about 200
years ago; they were advertised and added,
considerable to the revenue of the newspaper,.
The English theatres did not advertise their
entertainments till the year 1701, and it was
not until 17.15 that a British newspaper at
tempted to depelid for support upon . the ad
vertisements it contained. •
Since the last-named date the leading papers
of England have derivea , large revenues from
advertisements, and the price now charged is
considerably more than i 3 paid to the best
journals in the large cities of the United States.
In an examination before a parliatuentarycom
mittee, several years ago, it was stated that
the cash receipts of the London Times for ad
vertising bad reached to $33,435 a week, or
nearly $5,500 a business day. A count of
the advertisements in a single copy of the
Times the same year revealed that it had no
less than 2,575 advertisements. Some firms
in London have paid $150,000 a year in adver
tising their articles, and others expend $l,OOO
a week the year through to keep their name
and business before the public, and they all
find the money- thus paid to be well invested.
As the value of advertisements has become
recognized by business men, various new plans
have been tried to bring establishments into
notice. Circulars are often distributed broad
cast, clocks covered n ith printed cards and
mirrors with advisements in the frames are
put in public places, illustrated books with
advertisements on alternate pages, large and
small handbills are conspicuously posted,
transparencies are lighted at night, signs are
suspended across streets, men and boys cov
ered by advrstising boards are employed to
parade in public. In short, every possible de
vice has been resorted to for bringing differ
erut branches cf business and special articles
before the public.
No doubt many of these plans answer special
purposes ; but for a storekeeper, or for increas•
lug the sale of
, a good article, or bringing cus
tomers for books, houses, lands or general
merchandise, such as thousands purchase, no
plan of advertising, however novel, is so effec
tire as the columns of a good newspaper that
enters thousands of homes, and is read by all
members of the family. The courts recognise
this ; and in all cases of the sale of real estate,
the appointment of administrators or guardi
ans and the allowance of accounts, the news
paper is selected as the only ',ire means of
reaching interested parties.
To lead, picture and develop the life
of Pennsylvania ; to represent its action and
aggressive thoughts on all questions ; to out
line the current of social and political Ilib of
the state, is the idea and end of Forney's Week
ly Press, of Philadelphia. Confessedly it has
been the most representative and comprehen,
sive of Pennsylvania Journals. It is without
a single exception the best family paper in
the country. Its complication of news boils
foreign and domestic, is unsurpassed ; its
correspondents inferior to none ; its literary
and agricultural departments equal to the best
in America. See advertisement elsewhere.

T'uis is an enlitrged and entirely new edition of
a work of great scientific and physiological interest.
It is comprised of ten essays, so arranged as to
give a complete history of the subject ; a subject
of very great interest to all who are in any way
brought into contact with the world around diem;
and of special interest to physicians and others
who are eo often brought in contact with persons
while under the effect of the Emotions, where the
expression often reveals what no language could
convey. The book, if welt studied and understood,
will teach principles which can be toads available
in the selection of apprentices, facto hands, kitchen
girls, servants, &c., or the choosing of friends, or
companions, and thus be of immense value. It is
not entirely without a spiritual or religious tone,
even contrasting the vicious wills the good, in such
a way as to leave the weight of the itupfession in
favor of the good, pure and beautiful. The en
gravings illustrate the text, and in themselves
give a remarkably clear history of the subject.
We have in the work the whole range of human
character and expression, front the divine loveli
ness and purity of angels and saints, to the
strength, fierceness, and brutality of the execu
tioner. We have an objection to urge against the
book, however, which ne will call a presumptuous
fault, though written for English readers, it con
tains many quotations and notes from the Latin,
French, Re.. which are always a vexation to those
who do not understand these languages. Though
they might be omitted in some I:stances, without
impairing the sense, yet we always feel that if the
thoughts therein contained were worth quoting,
they should be quoted in the same language in
which the book is written. These quotations may
properly display the knowledge of the writer, but
they do not s•o impress the general reader.

Lee and Shepard, of Boston, Mass., who are the
publishers of the above books, and the series to
which they belong, have for many years had' the
"Young meriea" under the greatest obligations
to them for the vast amount of entertainment and
instruction afforded them through the many good
books issuing regularly from their house. No
publiNers in the country have done as much to
cultivate a puro literary taste, in the youthful
minds, and employed as touch talent upon their
publications as Leek Shepard. Every series of
their books has keen specially designed to teach
some leading truths or important lesson. Let
any parent try the experinteet and place in the
hands of the children the "Oriward and Upward
Series," or the "Young America Abroad Series,"
and see what a fund of useful information will be
obtained, and in what a remarkably short lilac.—
There is scarcely one dull boolt on their The
above are two very interesting volumes, by two of
the most popular authors. Books are the best
educators, and the young should be liberally sup
plied with them.
Dr. Clark's "Sea. in Education," J dd. IL Os
good Boston, has made more stir among
the educators of girls throughout the country, and
provoked more, and severer criticism than any
book of late years. The Doctor has thereby receiv
ed a notoriety, which to some might be enviable.
Old cod New for March devotes considerablespace
to criticisms of the book, and now we have a
spirited reply in "Sex and Eel ocat;on," (Roberts,
Bros., Boston,) edited by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe,
which is the joint production of several thoughtful
women whose long experience should lend weight
to their opinions,and bespeak for them the consid
eration; and another in "Ye Se, and Education;
or an equal chance for both Boys and (J .
M. Stoddart lc, Co., Philadelphia,) edited by Mrs.
E. B Duffey, which rejects the idea of natural
feminine invalidism, and suggests modes of life by
which women may pursue the same mental occu
pations as men, with the enjoyment of eqtially good
health. It is barely possible that the Dr. may be
obliged to chanp his theories, or at least withold
theta from the public in the future.
Old and Vera, for-. April deals vigorously with
several live topics, and diversities its vigor with
its usual array of stories and verses. Mr. Hale
devotes hi: "Introduction" to the discussion of the
question of political re-organization. He takesno
partisan view, but presents for consideration five
important points—cheap transportation, educa
tion at the South, harmony of the legislative amil
executive departments at Washington, proper dis
tinction of State and National potiti-•s, and a real
civil service reform. Rev. Mr. Martir eau ie
sautes his series of papers with a learned discus
sion of the Romish claims of infallibility. An
Anonymous paper, one of the spiciest of the num
ber is entitled, ''.The Rights of Tweed and other
Convicts." It takes rather a fresh view of Tweed
as a convict and argues that the old man has a
right to be converted into a good citizen by those
who abut him up, before he to timed loose among
other good citizens. Besides there the number
contains several papers of interczt, and poems.

SHIRLEYSBrIta, Pa., April 1, 18/4
, .
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL—Dear Sir:- Having
read with much interest the text of a bill, as
given in the columns of your paper, relating
to school reform and compulsory education,
and which'was then before the Legislature of
this State, I feel quite sure that it is the duly
of every person interested in the cause of ed
ucation, and indeed, all who are interested in
retaining a Republican Form of Government,
free from rents or being torn asunder, to urge
the immediate passage of some bill making a
law for coercive education. But while thisis
a step in the right direction,— it will, I am
quite as sure, be found necessary, in order
that all may reap the full benefits of the free
school system, to take the following steps in
the same direction:
Ist. A Board of Directors, selected from
among the most intelligent men of each
district, and without consideration to political
preference, should be chosen, and required to
alternately visit and examine each public
school within their jurisdiction, semi-weekly,
during the winter term ; to hear and adjust
all difficulties which may arise between teach
er and pupil; to mark the progress of the pu
pils, and to note theirgeneral behavior.
2d. For this, and all other dutiespertaining
to their office, they should receive a liberal
recompense.
3d. It should be compulsory on said Board,
to St up properly, and keep in good repair, all
public school buildings within their respect
ice jurisdictions,, levying such taxation as
shall be adequate to meet their demands.
4th. A marked distinction should be made
in the classification of teachers, and each re
ceive a salary according to his or her ability.
sth. The entire School Board, in connection
with the teachers,. should be required to at
tend all Institutes (especially D,triet Insti
tutes,) held fur the purpose of instruc
tion.
The advantages to be derived from the five
foregoing steps will doubtless he ovious to,
most of your readers.
I know of schools in this community in
which the usefulness of the teacher was
paired this present winter term by a neglect
of visitations on the part of, authorized ofti
cials, or even by the parents and patrons of
the school. Many children are sent to school
illy supplied with books, and in some instances
so little interest is manifested by the parents,
in the education and training of their own
offspring, that in the morning Cseyare hurried
off to school "to get them out of the way."
These two classes of children come to school
prepared for anything but study.
They are refractory and disobedient. Re
proof and corporal punishment become nec
essary. If either is administered, they become
highly offended, and carry home to their pa
rents the most exaggerated accounts of the
cruelty and inefficiency of the teacher. The
parents are contaminated with the contagion
of hatred, envy, desire of revenge, kc., and
without instigating further inquiry as to the
truth or falsity of the statements made to
them, and not being themselves addicted to
habits of veracity, they readily slide into a
paroxysm of anger, and forever after belch
out, to every interested or disinterested passer
by, the vilest epithets and calumnies against
the teacher. Similar things have occurred in
our midst, which could and would all be
avoided by a law authorizing the first step I
have mentioned. I may present this subject
hereafter in a more forcible and stronger light.
An Institute, for the teachers of Shirley
District, was organized last Fall, at this place,
by electing M. G. Collins, esq., President, and
Miss M. Bowersox, Secretary. The present
session closed on the 11th inst. During the
winter term much useful information has been
imparted and received, and questions of vital
importance to public schools discussed. Such,
for instance, as. the following : .
Is it best to open our public schools with
prayer?
An interesting essay was read by Miss
Johnson, at ourlast Institute, The Secretary,
Miss Ella Doyle, Jno. li. Garver, esq., 31.
Kyper, esq., and others, have been active in
the work, and faithful in their attendance.
It will soon lose one of its most efficient
workers, Jno. B. Garver, esq., who removes to
Cumberland, and carries with him the best
wishes of the community. . _
AN OLD TEACIIER
FRO 3! CASSVILLE.
CASSVILLE, March 31, 1874,
EDITOR OF TUE JOURNAL-Dear Sir:-1 pur
pose giving you a little account of an "Indig
nation Meeting," held by A. L. Gus; at this
place, last night. I was going to head it with
"brazen effrontery," but this would be no
name for it. It is evident that Gussfelt, after
the report of the Committe appointed to in-
vestigate the charges against him in the Cass
vine Orphan School, that he stood condemned
before the people of this county, and he knew
well that he had always succeeded heretofore
in "drawing the wool over the good people's
eyes" iu this place, and he felt satisfied he
could do it again. And in order to carry out
his purpose it would be necessary to get them
to gather before the county papers would be
out, and before their minds would be biased.
He could tell the tale himself. It was neces
sary, then, to send out runners to get the good
people together. This was done with effect,
as the house was crowded. Now, just at this
point, a new idea occurred to this monster of
eniquity, no doubt suggested by the devil.
Ws Gospel cloak that had often served him
well in past days, but which he had long since
laid by, he concluded to draw it around him
again and if possible conceal the wolf, It is
said that he had a committee sent to invite
the minister of this place to make the intro
ductory prayer, and his deacon to act as Ares
ident of the meeting This little bit of flat
tery proved tt success, they having both at
tended the meeting and acted their part man
fully. "0, full of all subtility and all mischief,
thou child of the devil, thou snooty of all
righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert
the right ways of the Lord?"
It is easy to see, Mr. Editor, the object of
this meeting was in some way to cover up his
guilt. Ile is as wise (in evil) as a serpent,
and harmless as an adder. lie felt himself
guilty of all the charges against him, and
knew }•;ell that half his bad tricks were never
known. But he no doubt told these good
people that he was an innocent man, was not
guilty of any of the charges against hint, that
the Committee had done him great injustice
in their report, and that the whole matter,
from beginning to end, was a political porno•
cution, brought about by a set of unrelenting
political enemies. And no doubt he appealed
so eloquently to their sympathies that they
were led to cry out like the worshipers of
Dinah of old, "Glory be to Guns of the Orphan
School !" I wonder if these good people
remember the case of Mcgimm, who murdered
young Norcross, in Blair county, some years
ago. The evidence in this ease was so clear
(just as It has been iu Goss' case before this
Committee) that no one who heard the trial
could for a moment doubt his guilt. Yet he
declared to the last breath that he was not
guilty, and that be died au innocent man.
Whenever a person gets to a certain point in
wickedness, it is a small matter for him to
deny, or even swear falsely. It is said that
Cal. Clarkson made an able speech before
these good people, in defence of char
acter, while he cast all the reproach on his
own father that he could. lam at a loss to
know, Mr. Editor, how the good people of this
place could sit and listen to this profligate son
making such a speech. They all know that
he has caused his ('ether's heart to. ache many
a time, and if it had not been for the constant
care this good father has had for him, where
would he be to-day ?
Now, lo show the bad effects of Ouss'
conduct in this neighborhood, I would just
state that in conversation with two or three of
our best citizens, (married men,) it was said
that Guns was seen riding in a buggy with a
lady, the lady was driving and Gass had his
arm around her neck—well, those men all
said they could see no impropriety in thet,—.
they would do the same thin, themselves. In
conclosion i would just say, when we see the
intlueace that this bad man can exercise over
men, old and young, minisiers and deacons,
that lie can shape them like wax to suit his
purpose, wo need not think strange that he
,could seduce innocent and unprotected females.
