spring style.

escape. the has escaped so far.
Owing to an oversight the column advertise.
meat of E. M. Bruce, Philadelphia, has
contained a clause stating that he had no
agent in Huntingdon. This is au unintention
al error. James A. Brown, esq., has been

In the Porter township statement, published
in the JONIINAL of the Bth inst., a couple of
typographical errors occurred which material
ly altered the sense. They would, however,
be readily discovered. In stating the gross
amount of the tax for 1868, 1869 and 1870 it
is put at $744.84 instead of $7,044.84. We
always read figures by copy, andyet we some
times fail.
The Railroad from Matilda Furnace to the
Penna. It. R. is the narrowest railroad in this
part of the State, the guage being only 27i
inches and the rails weighing but 1G pounds
to the yard. They run on it au engine the "Ma
tilda" weighing but six tons. Some days ago
the engine with a train attached collided with
a mule train, knocking mule and train off the
track, smashing the cars and badly injuring a
boy eleven years of age, son of widow Hughes.
His jaw was broken in several places, some
ribs were broken, and he suffered other inju
ries but he is recovering .—News.
A couple of butchers, of Alexandria, killed
a veal last week, and one of them took the
half of it to Petersburg, and returned with a
half barrel of ale, which he put in the custom
house (or slaughter house,) for safety, as he
thought, but some of the enterprising young
men succeeded in capturing it before the old
veteran butcher had time to stick it with a
faucet. After the shades of darkness had
spread their mantle over the village he sent
two persons, with a one-wheel conveyance, to
bring it down town to its destination, but, to
his surprise, they came back and reported it
was stolen. The old man exclaimed: "Chee
ses, Franky, is it gone ? Christ, oh I" Up to
this date the keg has not been heard of.
11. G. Fisher, csq., late President of the Ag
ricultural Society, occupies considerable space
in the last Monitor explaining why the "Vigie"
boys were not paid the one hundred dollar
prize awarded them according to contract.—
The easiest way of explaining this matter is to
borrow $lOO, if the Society is out of funds,
and pay off the claim. We are ashamed of the
whole affair. He appears to think that we era
not treating the Society fairly, and intimates
that our bills were promptly paid. Not so
fast. We have a little bill yet that the famous
Committee of Arrangements,—which almost
ignored the printers here—refused to pass.—
But this has nothing to do with the question
of paying the "Vigie" boys. If they won their
money honestly—and everybody believes they
did—they should be paid without a moment's
delay. Any other course must prove detri
mental to the interests of the Society.
AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—A regular
meeting of the Huntingdon County Agricul
tural Society will be held in the Court House,

An Exhibition of Science
BY DENNIS WRAFFERTY.
I once was enfoyin a mate little ruction
Gotten up by some gossoons at Donnybrook fair;
Me shtick had recared a polite inthroduction,
To the heads of some tin of the bog-throttere there.
Me eye caught the form of one rhelim M'Carty,
Stretched out on the grass wid despair in his eye;
I rerry well knew he was one of oar party,
So I rowed I would riscue me comemee or die.
Ilia conqueror shtood like the father of giants,
His shtick would have served for a hair dbresser's pole
And to leery one he was biddin defiance,
Such impudence no shprig of Aria could thole.
I dhrew off me shirt and wid fury whit at him,
The blood like a heavy shoring shower did fall,
Three blows in a second me cudgel did ehpat
nail "bloody murdher" the shoalpeen did bawl.
But had that Lig fellow succeeded in placin
His monsthrous shillaly upon me poor head;
Me prison., would not be this yankee-land grade,
I think I'de be verry near twinty years dead.
Well so much, me lads, for Hibernian science,
irery department yell find it complete,
If properly taught ye can give it reliance,
Anil niver furl unillier the shame of dof:do.
Success M the man that invented shilialys,
May all his relations great pleasure injoy ;
In quarts of p teen I could diving his health daily,
For that man was shurely the broth of a boy.

case was mentioned in the report for last Jan
uary Sessions. Nothing further has been done
except that as the defendants did not appear
at January Sessions their recognizance was
forfeited and a motion made, by the surety, to
have the forfeiture taken off. A Rule was
granted to show cause, which, Rule was, on
Monday last, discharged.
Comth. vs. Luke Reilly. Indictment: Sell
ing liquor without a license. At January
Sessions two bills of indictment were found
against defendant, but he being sick the case

ty on both charges. Sentence—First count, a

Comth. vs. George Hissong, Austin Hissong ,
Wm. DeForrest, James F. Green and Frank
Buchanan. Indictment: Assault and Battery.
True bill. There was also a count for
Riot, which was ignored. The prosecutor is
named Piper Miller, who is about eighteen
years old. The affray took place in Cassville,
in February last. The defendants are all young
men. There seemed to have been, for some
time previous to the occurrence, a grudge ex
isting between Piper Miller and Ge 2. Hissong,
and numerous threats had been made by both
pal ties. An this particular evening there was
a meeting of the Band at the school house, in
Cassville, and the boys being there, George
Hissong, without any particular provocation,
struck Piper Miller, knocked him down and
kicked him on or about the head, inflicting,
by the blow or kick, a wound on the temple
so severe that it had to be dressed by a phy
sician. Miller, arising, ran into the school
house and was followed by Ilissong, who con
tinued to kick or strike him at every opportu
nity, until taken off by those present. The
jury found the defendants all guilty. Hissong
having committed the battery and the others
having aided him. George Hissong was.ien
tenced to pay a fine of $2O; Austin Hissong,
Wm. DeForrest and Frank Buchanan $5 each,
and J. F. Greene $l, and the costs, $56.30, to
be paid jointly. Brown and Musser for Com
monwealth ; Petriken and Lytle for Defend
ants.
Comth.vs. John Swine. Indictment: Rape.
The prosecutrix was Mrs. Sneath, residing in
Germany Valley, near Shirleysburg. The of
fense was alleged to have been committed on
or about the first of January, 1874, in the eve
ning, at the house of Mrs. Sneath, who is a
widow. The Comth. attempted to show that
Mr. Swine gained admission to the house by
deceptive and forcible means; that he accom
plished his vile purpose; that soon after, Mrs.
Sneath had him arrested; that he then went
to her and proposed that if she would with
draw the prosecution he would pay her $lOOO,
he then fixed up and gave her a paper pur
porting to be his note for $l,OOO but which
was really not a note, but a valueless
paper, she being unable to read. The
defense attempted to show that because the
prosecutrix had made statements before the
Justice and at the hearing of the Habeas
Corpus different from those made in Court,
she was not to be believed, and that her near
neighbors had not seen or heard anything un
usual about her house. The jury, after being
out all night, returned with a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Swine was also indicted for adultery. A
motion and reasons for a new trial were at
once filed by defendant's counsel, which are
yet pending. Messrs. Lovell, Musser and
Dorris represented the Comth. ; Woods, Pet•
rikin and Baily the Defendant.
Comth. vs. Hanara Mangan. Two innict
ments—one for selling liquor without license
and the other for selling to minors. True
bills on both indictments. Defendant plead
guilty to first indictment and submitted, and
in consequence the second was nolle pros'd.
Sentenced to pay a fine of $5O and the costs,
which amouts to $7O.
Cotath. vs. Robert Palmer. Indictment:
Fornication and Bastardy. True bill. De
fendant plead not guilty and went to trial.
The prosecutria was Antha Wilson. The de
fendant swore positively that be was innocent
of the charge and also very nearly, if not al
together, proved an alibi. The result, which
was one remarkably unusual in such cases,
was that the defendant was,acquitted and the
county to pay the costs. District Attorney
for Conath.; P. M. Lytle for Defendant.
Comtb. vs. Geo. Walker. Indictment: For
nication and Bastardy. True bill. Defendant
not taken and therefore continued.

tence— a fine of $lOO and costs of prosecution.
Comte. vs. John Banks. Indictment same
as above. True bill, and defendant not ap
pearing his recognizance was forfeited.
Comth. vs. A. L. Cuss. Indictment: Libel,
on the prosecutor A. B. Brumbaugh. The
offence consisted in the publication of certain
alleged libelous articles in the Iluntingdon
Globe of Dec. 23, 1873, and Jan. 6, 1874. The
Globe of December 23 contained an article in
reference to the opening of a "nsoatl abscess",
on a child of Mr. B. P. Douglass, of Mt. Union,
by Dr. Brumbaugh. The Globe of January 6,
Sc prepared for the press, contained some
lengthy comments on the private character of
Dr. Brumbaugh and several other gentlemen
in this town. The paper was put to press and
some fifty or sixty numbers stricken off when,
by agreement between the editor and the gen
tlemen mentioned in the articles, the issue of
the paper was stopped and the offensive arti
cle taken out. But some eight or ten of the
papers had got out, several of which could not
be recalled. The Commonwealth sought to
show that the articles were defamatory and
had been maliciously published, notwithstand
ing the effort to suppress. The defense sought
to offer evidence of the truth of the assertions
made in the articles, but the Court ruled that
such evidence could not be admitted in a pro
secution. The Court delivered a clear and
able charge to the jury, expounding, the libel
laws, and throwing out many snggestioas
which might be valuable to newspaper men
generally. The jury found the defendant guil
ty. Messrs. Brown, S. S. Blair, and District
Attorney for Comth. ; Woods and Petriken for
Defendant. Sentence—A fine of $l5O, costs of
prosecution, and an imprisonmen t of forty days.

REPORT OF TUE LADIES RELIEF SO
CIETY FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 8, 1874.
As the regular stated meetings of the Ladies'
Relief Society, are about to close for the pres
ent season, it may be gratifying to the public,
who have so kindly assisted us in our efforts
to relieve, to know in what manner their gifts
have been expended, and to what extent our
Society has relieved the suffering in our midst.
We would again extend our thanks to all
who have assisted ; and we are happy to say,
although there have been many cases of des
titution, at present, as far as we know, there
is comparatively little need of any assistance,
and we hope all who have made us the in
struments to distribute their charities, will be
satisfied with this report.
There have been distributed 765 pounds of
flour, 20} tons of coal, 20 pounds of sugar, 12
pounds of coffee, besides tea, meat, beans,
corn and buckwheat meal, potatoes, soap, kc.,
50 articles of childrens' clothing, 40 pairs of
stockings, 14 pairs of shoes, 40 yards of un
bleached muslin, 2 blankets, 3 hats.
Of the money contributed by the different
churches of the borough and the Stinky Troupe,
a small amount yet remains in the hands of
the Treasurer, which will be distributed as any
cases of destitution may be made known to
the members of the Society.
By crder of the Society.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT—PROBABLY FA
TAL.—This morning a man named Adam W.
Averill, aged 70 years, was struck by the en
gine of the fifth stock freight train west, at the
first turnpike crossing west of this city and
injured to such an extent that his recovery is
very doubtful. The right arm is crushed to a
jelly from the wrist to the elbow, and across
the right cheek, from the nose to the ear, is a
gash which lays bare both upper and lower
jaws. Together with this the head is crashed
and the internal injuries so great that when
he was raised up he entirely lost the power of
articulation. The unfortunate man was
brought to the depot and attended to by Dr.
John L. Atlee, sr., who recommecded that be
be taken to the hospital, which was done.—
The attending physician pronounced the con
dition of the injured man to be very critical
and entertained no hopes, whatever, of his re•
covery. While at the depot the old man said
he was from Huntingdon county, Pa., having
lived about six miles from Huntingdon. He
was well known throughout this city by many
of the older residents, having been engaged in
the business of auctioneering in Lancaster
about fifteen years ago.—Lancaster Examiner,
15th kat. •
The unfortunate man died at 6 o'clock the
following morning
Woostershire Sauce and Celery Salt at Cor
bin's, in the Diamond.
THE HUNTINGDON PEESBYTERY.—The
Huntingdon Presbytery met at Williamsburg,
on Tuesday, the 13th inst., in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. N. G. White, pastor, seventy
ministers and el 'ers being present. Rev. J.
H. Bathers, of Bell's Mills church, was chosen
Moderator, and Rev. W. J. Chichester, of the
Second church of RiToona, and John C. Wil
helm were chosen Clerks. The morning ser
mon was delivered by Rev. L. B. W. Shryock,
of Academia church. Messrs. E. H. Mateer,
John C. htird and John Lowrie were examined
and admitted to the ministry. Luther S. Ro
berts, of Bellefonte, a candidate for licensure,
was examined and received under the care of
the Presbytery with license to pursue his stu
dies at Union Semiaary, New Jersey. The
statistical reports showed an increase of 60
per cent. of additions in membership, over last
year, and represented the financial
.condition
encouraging. The session was one of the
most gratifying.
To THE POINT.—An exchange says :
"Compare the publisher of a newspaper; who
has to go all around the country to collect his
pay, to a farmer who sells his wheat on cred
it, and not more than a bushel to any person.
If any farmer will try the experiment of dis
tributing the proceeds of his labor over two
or three counties, with an additional one to
two or three different states, for one year, we
will guarantee that he will never, after that
years experience, ask a publisher to supply
him with a paper a year or two without the
pay for it."

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Ma. EDITOR you permit me the use of
a small portion of your paper to say a few
words in relation to the wretched condition of
one of our public school houses, the size of
some of the rooms that from 90 to 100 little
children are compelled to sit down in and ex
pected to learn, (I) and the way they are pun
ished? Also a word as to the teachers and
teacning.
There is not the least doubt but that the
teaching in those schools is first-class, and be
it said, to the credit of the Directors, they have
made rapid progress, for I will venture the
assertion that our common schools are in as
good estate of training now as can be found in
the State, and it only requires you to visit
them, and you will come to the same conclu
sion. You need but look at the deportment
of the children going to and coming from the
schools to satisfy you that the work in the
inside is well done. Never since I became a
resident of Huntingdon, has out common
schools been in such a prosperous condition.
So much, then, for the Directors, in that line
of their business, in procuring good teachers.
But let us look a little further. It is just as
important for them to furnish good rooms for
those teachers to do good work in as it is to
procure good teachers, and it is hardly to be
expected of teachers to put their schools in
such a condition as they have them, in such a
miserable old pen as that one on the hill.
On examination of the reports of some of
the teachers, I found that as high a number
as 140 little children have been crowded into
a room that does not contain as many cubic
feet as one of the stock cars that is used to
transporthalf that number of swine front Pitts
burg to Philadelphia. And yet children are
expected to learn in those pens. There
cannot be a doubt as to the unhealthfulness
of such a place I And the men who have
charge of this institution profess to have com
mon feeling for the little ones who are
required to attend school ; and what is more
strange, some of the Directors are so fortunate
as to have; quite a nice lot on hand. Why
men will hesitate, when it is so apparent to
all that a new building is essential to health,
comfort and advancement of the children, I
am at a loss to comprehend.
At the Spring election of 1873 it was
decided by a vote of 481 to 88 that there should
be a new building put on the hill where the
old pen now stands. Gentlemen, take meas
ures at once to put up a good house, and make
it a desirable place for the children to go to,
lather than a pla^e of aversion. Of course,
it is your duty to be careful of, and to expend
the public funds in a proper manner, but the
people who visit the institution must arrive
at the ssme conclusion I did—that the public
do not want that sort of economy. No wonder
people want select schools—not from the want
of proper teaching, but from the want of a
comfortable room. Let us have a good school
house.
Now, let us take a look at the dirty, miser•
able, old, unpainted, weather-beaten benches,
(I will not call it furniture,) hardly fit to
adorn an Irish railroad shanty. We would
advise our Board to make an early application
to the Centennial commission for a prominent
position, to exhibit as a relic and a common
curiosity of the 19th century, the school
benches belonging to the common schools of
Huntingdon, t'a„ with the understanding that
they be returned to us in a like condition. I
will venture to say that you could not get one
of the present Directors to go within 100 yards
of the old stuff, and they would almost deny
having ever lived in Huntingdon. Why, I saw
a little boy sitting on one of these nice little
benches, and be had to throw his knees out at
an angle of 45 degrees to sit down at all, and
then his knees were six inches above the
bench. Come, gentlemen, the people do not
want you to economise so closely. Let us
have good, plain furniture in those rooms, that
children may at least sit with some comfort.
I shall continue to make calls, and you may
expect to bear from me soon again, if some
thing is not done. lam yours,
A TAX-PAYER.

FROM BEAVERTOWN.
BEAVERTOWN, April 10th, 1874.
EDITOR JOURNAL :-I saw my name in the
proceedings of the meeting of the citizens
of Cassvillc. I was not at the meeting, but
several days after, one of the Gussites came to
where I was at work and said he had a paper
he wanted me to sign. I asked him what it
was for and lie said it was for the Otphan
School to remain at Cassvile. I put my name
to it as I saw nearly every person's name there.
I saw none of the resolutions on the paper
that [ see in the "Globe ;" if I had, I would
never have signed it; but I am not the only
one that was deceived in that way. I don't
believe that one-half of the people knew any
anything about the resolutions when they
signed that paper. There are a great many
names to it that are only children.
A NOPE FROJI CALVIN.
CALVIN, April 16th, 1874.
J. R. Donnounow, ESQ.—Dear air :--I eee in
last week's gases of the JoORNAL the following:—
"Did John Myerly, esq., tell the truth when he
signed those resolutions, or when he said he knew
Guss was guilty , in the Pope case, as he had seen
the said Guss himself in a room, with a couple of
large girls chasing them around it, kissing them,
Ac., Ac."
As it regards the Popo ease, I was not present
at the trial of Goss vs. Wharton, hence 1 ktow
nothing about it, only from hearsay, most of my
information was from the man who dictated the
above article. And further I never saw Guss chas
ing two large girls around a room, and never saw
him kiss any person. Had I been before the com
mittee I should have told precisely what I saw and
knew in the case. Heretofore I have endeavored
to keep out of the Gass difficulty, and therefore
feel it due to myself and others, that what I did
say, should not be exaggerated or misrepresented
in public print. Most respectfully,
Yours As.,
