Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip
tions and Arrearages.
The following is the law relating to newspapers and
subscribers
1. Subs,ribers who do not give express notico to the con
trary, are considered wishing to continue their sub-
scriPtim,
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their peri
odicals, the publishers may continue to send them until
all arreamges are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals
from the office to which they are dire.ted, they are held
responsible until they nave settled their bills, and order-
ed them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places without informing
the publisbers, and the papers are sent to the former di-
rection, they are held responsible.
5. The Courts have decided that "refusing to take periodi
cals from the office, or removing and leaving them un
called for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.
0- Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use
of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to
be a subscriber.
7. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give
notice to the publisher, at the end of their time, if they
do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the pub
lisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express notice; with payment
of all arrears, is sent to the publisher.

business with this office, in the absence of
the proprietors, or either one of them, are
respectfully referred to the clerk in the
store, GUSSIE ALLISON, who is fully, and
the only other person, authorized to re

an opportunity to accomplish his purpose.
It has been reported, for a week or two :
about the town and pretty generally credited,
perhaps confirmed, that Capt. W. K. Burchi

hope the statement is not correct, or if it is,
that the fracture may not prove a troublesome
one.

with the canines, in which they pulled not a
little of the wool off him. Mr. Nigbtwine was
several times within a few feet of the infuri
ated bear, but bruin was too much occupied
with the dogs. kt.would be well if some of
our hunters would bear down that way, and
draw a fine sight on that "baste."

A BEDFORD COUNTY MAN MURDERED
IN COLD BLOOD.—Mr. Jacob Snyder, a brother
to Tobias Snyder, of Saxton, a son-in-law of
Geo. Steele, of Hopewell twp., and one of the
original contractors to construct the plank
road from Everett to Hopewell, was murdered
in cold blood at Georgetown, Colorado, several
days ago. The circumstances attending the
tragedy were about as follows : Mr. Snyder
had an interest in the "Star" bank of Colorado
of $95,000. In addition to this he had an in
terest in several silver mines, and his next
neighbor was a man by the name of Bishop,
whose claim interfered with his, and they had
a law suit, in which Snyder was the victor.—
Immediately after the law suit, as we under
stand the matter, a miscellaneous crowd as
sembled, and their discussion of the merits of
the question was of such an excitable nature
as to induce Mr. Snyder to leave for home.
He mounted his horse and started off, and as
he turned a corner on one of the streets,
Bishop confronted him with a pistol, drawn.
Snyder put spurs to bis horse and Bishop fol
lowed in his wake, and when Snyder reached
his own stable, Bishop struck him with the
butt of a revolver, which knocked him down,
and he afterwards blew his brains out with a
discharge of one of the barrels. Mr. Tobias
Snyder, of Saxton, immediately upon receipt
of the above heart-rending intelligence, started
to the scene of the tragedy and returned,
with the corpse of his murdered brother, to
Saxton, where the corpse was interred on
Tuesday of last week. All Saxton went out
to attend the ceremonies.
A reward of $lO,OOO has been offered by
the authorities of the town for the arrest of
Bishop. Mr. Snyder is estimated to be worth
over s2oo,ooo.—Bedford Inquirer.

HUNTINGDON COUNTY SABB A T II
SCHOOL CONVENTION.—FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
—WEDNESD or, Juno 2, 1875. Pursuant to public
notice, the Huntingdon County Sabbath School
Association assembled in Annual Convention, in
the Court House, on Wednesday, at 10 o'clock
A. M.
In the absence of the President the Convention
was called to order by Rer. John Palmer, of Dud
ley. Vice President.
The opening exercises consisted in the reading
of a portion of scripture and prayer by Rev. J.
Kisler, of Tyrone, followed by a short season of
devotional exercises. Singing, prayer, &c., par
ticipatad in by Messrs, David Dunn, of Hunting
don, Dr. R. Myers. of Grafton, and J. A. Brown,
of Huntingdon, with some appropriate encouraging
remarks by .1. R. Simpson, esq.
- - -
J. R. Simpson, David Dunn, S. E. Henry, Capt.
John Brewster, John Evans, esq., and Dr. B. F.
Hotehkins, were appointed a committee on busi
ness.
The "question box" system was proposed and
adopted.
During the absence of the business committee a
short time was spent in mutual interchange of
opinion, opened by Mr. S. B. Chaney, and
participated in by J. A. Brown, and. Rev. D. W.
Hunter.
The business committee reported the following
order of exercises for the afternoon session : Con
vention to meet at 2 o'clock and adjourn at 5.
From 2 to 2:30 devotional exercises, and 45 mii%
utes to discussion of the subject, "How to conduct
a Sunday School convention successfully," opened
by Dr. Hotchkins in a ten minute address, follow
ed by five minute addresses. One-half hour to be
devoted to discussion on the method of teaching,
opened by Rev. J. Palmer in a ten minuteaddress,

alphabetical order, and one-half hour to answering
questions from the question box; the exercises to
be interspersed with singing and short prayers.—
Report adopted.
Messrs. S. B. Chaney and K. A. Lovell, were

out the purpose of the committee.
Dr. E. J. Greene, J. A. Brown, and Rev. J. R.
Akers were appointed as a committee to prepare
music for the occasion.
Adjourned with doxology, and benediction, by
Rev. J. S. McMurray..
AFTERNOON SESSION,
The opening exercises, consisted in reading a
a part of the 7Sth Psalm, by Rev. J. Prideaux,
of Shirleysburg, with a few accompanying remarks
on the importance of imparting to our children a
knowledge of God and his works and ways as re
vealed in the great work of redemption. To know
God is life eternal.
Prayer by Rev. G. D. Pennypacker ; followed
by prayer and singing, with musical accompani
ment.
The subject, "How to conduct S. S. Conventions
successfully," was opened by Dr. Hotchkins. We
should give people time to have something worth
saying ; we want success ; we want to know the
object of the convention. There are two ways of
making better teachers : first, by bringing them
together for some one with wisdom and experience
to teach them ; second, to bring them together in
such a way as to teach one another, which is per
haps the best way. Bring them together in such
a way as to secure perfect freedom. Some persons
have a tact for making people feel free and at their
ease, while others have not, and one of the first
requisites of success is having a good leader ;
chiiose your best man to lead, without regard to
other circumstances. You want earnestness, with
out which all is of no account. If this world is
more to bins than eternity, you don't want him,
no matter what his position or influence. It is
perhaps of snore benefit now to us to look over the
past and see what should not have been done. We
want our hearts filled with ideas to take home with
us. and last till next convention. If I had the
management of a Convention I would seldom al
low one man to be twice on the floor ; we want to
bring all out; God has not given any one man wis
dom in regard to everything.
Rev. Kistler followed and urged the importance
of having a programme of exercises made out
and speakers announced previous to the meeting.
D. Ilare, esq., concurred with the last speaker,
and recommended that all come fully imbued with
the spirit of Christ, feeling that we have something
to do for Him and that we are working for eter
nity. _ _ .
4,067
David Dunn, esq., urged the necessity of in
fusing some life into the convention in order to
render it a success. . .
D. Hamilton, esq., urged the importance of seek
ing Divine aid.
K. A. Lovell, esq., suggested the importance of
clinching a good and well expressed thought with
an appropriate verse. A great deal depends on the
aiaptions of music to the occasion.
Rev. Mr. Dole advocated a prepared programme
and a leader.
.... 175,959
~...151,661
T. W. Myton, esq., concurred in the opinion ex
pressed. An executive committee should be ap
pointed to prepare the exercises.
Dr. R. Myers was opposed to too much machi
nery, but favored the idea of having a general
outline and a leader to draw out the others.
Music by the Choir.—" Take the name of Jesus
with you."
The subject, "Best Method of Teaching" was
opened by Rev. Prideaux.
We must understand what we teach in order to
be successful teachers. It is possible to talk about
a subject and not understand it. Some persons
cannot teach until taught themselves. No teach
er will be successful unless he makes the matter
a subject of prayer. He should have a clear sense
of the subject and thus be able to lead the mind
of others to grasp the subject with which he is al
ready familiar. He should ever keop before his
mind his object in teaching, the truth be wishes to
convey, and the influence be wishes that truth to,
produce. We can never succeed without some
specific object before us. An intense earnestness
will characterize the good teacher, and this, with
a desire to impress the truth he teaches will some
times make up for deficiencies in intellectual quali
fications.
Mr. Palmer was in favor of simplifying the
truth down to the capacity of the child, and be
lieved in object lessons for this purpose.
Rev. Doyle spoke of the difficulty he experienced
in finding competent teachers. He liked the uni
form lessons, but thought we bad departed some
what from the good old path in dispensing with
the catechism.
D. Blair, esq., said poets and teachers wore, to
some extent, born and not made. Without a nat
ural talent success was very difficult. One way of
meeting this difficulty would be to place the entire
school in the hands of those who have a talent for
teaching. He was a strong advocate of the uni
form lesson system and believed it to be one of
the greatest aids to an intelligent reading of the
Bible.
D. Dunn believed we could all learn to teach
God's word. Poets are born, and so are successful
S. S. teachers, but born again by the spirit of God.
The best teachers are those who feel that they can
not teach at all without the enlightening influences
of the Holy Spirit.
Mr. was opposed to the plan of placing
the entire school under the care of a. few teachers.
We can do a great deal by cultivation, and what
we want it Bible students.
Rev. Kisler.recommended encouraging the chil
dren to prepare their lessons during tho week, and
if possible to assist them in so doing, so that they
might come prepared on the Sabbath.
Mr. Chaney said the great secret of the teachers'
success was industry. God will not help those
who are not industrious themselves.
Mr. Dole said the object was not so much to
teach theology or the philosophy of the Bible as
to teach Christ, and any one whose heart is filled
with the love of Jesus and of immortal souls was
capable of doing that. The successful teacher is
the one that loves the lord Jesus Christ and the
souls of the children under his care.
Mr. Akers said we were apt to lose sight of the
very object of Sunday School work, which is. to
lead the children to Christ.
A man fully imbued with the love of Christ, no
matter how ignorant lie may be in the things of the
world, will be able to communicate it to those
over whom he is placed. What we need most of
all is tke baptism of the holy Christ.
J. A. Brown said the humble christian with
love to God in his heart and soul may be a suc
cessful teacher of God's word.
The time for discussion of the subject having
closed, the business committee reported for this
evening's session, meeting at 7:30 and adjourn at
9:30.
45 minutes to devotional exercises; 45 minutes
to discussion of the subject of temperance in the
R. S., to be opened by Rev. J. S.' McMurray in a
15 minute address, to be followed by 5 minute
speeches; half an hour to the subject, what hymns
and tunes are most proper for S. S., use opened
by Rev. Doyle in a ten minute address, followed
by 5 minute addresses; half an hour to the sub
ject. What influence will the Sunday School
exert on the church of the future? Opened by
Rev. J. Kisler in a ten minute address, followed
by 5 minute addresses. The exercises to be in
terspersed with music and prayer.
REPORTS FROM TUS TOWNSEIIPS,
Verbal reports, relative to the condition of the
schools were presented by the delegates from Cass
ville, Dudley, Saltillo, Three Springs, Washington,
in Cass township, and Huntingdon.
A half hour was then devoted to the answering
of questions taken from the question box, after
which the convention adjourned, with doxology
and benediction by Rev. D. W. Hunter.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3D,
Devotional exercises, led by S. McVitty, esq.,
music and prayer by Dr. liotchkine and Rev.
Gehrett.
TEMPERANCE IN TRH SUNDAY SCHOOL.
This subject was opened by Rev. J. S. Mc-
Murray.
The speaker dwelt earnestly and eloquently on
the blighting and soul destroying influences of in
temperance. There are two methods by which
these evils may be obviated. Ono is to stop the
supply. This would be effectual were it practica
ble. It is, however, impracticable so long as cor
rupt men are invested with the power of legisla
tion, and the exercises of magisterial authority.—
The other remedy is to stop the demand. by all
persons adopting acd practicing the principle of
total abstinence from all that intoxicates. We
must depend on the latter. It is the work of the
Sunday school to educate the mind, heart and
conscience. Temperance is an essential part of
such education. Habit is a thing of wonderful
power. Hundreds and thousands of men to-day
would give all they possess for the power of self
control.
If we could instil into the youthful mind a ha
tred of the intoxicating cup we would reach a
most important point. Would suggest the orga •
nization of our Sabbath school into temperance
societies. Induce the boys and girls to sign a
temperance pledge and keep it, and in ten years
from now we would have a controlling influence
on this question, and a complete revolution would
be effected on this great question. The evil is
amongst us, and the flood gates are being let loose
again, and God knows what will be the result, un
less the question is agitated.
Dr. Ifotchkins. Who objects to teaching tem
perance in the Sabbath school, but the tavern
keeper and those that sign his petition for license.
Why not preach temperance? It is one of the
virtues of Christianity.
Rev. Akers would suggest that we lice temper
ance, out of the Sunday school and in it. We
have persons connected with the different Sun
day schools who are Lot temperate men and
women.
A pledge taken in youth is rarely broken. The
question should be agitated. In the town of Hunt
ingdon men are actually afraid to refuse to sign a
petition fur license.
Mr. Kisler doubted the propriety of pledging
children with a written pledge, but thought that a
moral sentiment could be created by personal ef
fort, in the minds of the children.
Mr. Hamilton favored the early inculcation of
a moral sentiment in this direction, and illus
trated by a personal application, in his own fam
ily.
Mr. Palmer taught this subject in the Sabbath
School, and pledged the children, no matter how
small, keeping a pledge book in the school all the
time. Who can measure the moral sentiment of
the child, or the capacity of its mind as to wheth
er there is a moral sentiment or impression made
on it ? Better to begin too soon than too late.
Mr. McMurray believed that the moral senti
ment and the pledge should go together.
Mr. Hunter spoke of different kinds of intemper
ance. The use of drugs and tobacco were species
of intoxication as well as that of alcoholic liquors.
We must be temperate in all things. Public opin
ion is gradually undergoing a favorable change in
this direction.
Mr. Simpson said the Sabbath School was the
second best plane to teach temperance, the family
being the first, and the second matter in import
ance to be taught. He recommended giving a
portion of time in each month to this question in
the school.
TREASURERS REPORT,
The Report of S. E. Henry Treasurer of the as
sociation was read and excepted, showing a bal
ance of $15.62.
SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMNS,
The subject, "what kind of Sabbath School
hymns are the most appropriate for Sabbath
School use," was opened by Rev. Doyle. The
speaker referred to some which he thought were
neither edifying nor beneficial and tended to make
bad impressions, such as " If I only get to Heaven
when I die," &c., implying that if I only get
there it don't make much difference whether you
do or not. We should not only try to get to Heaven
but to live Heaven while on earth. lie was not
prepared to point out any particular selection but
would recommend something lively and cheerful.
Mr. Dunn deprecated in rather forcible lan
guage a portion of the songs now used in the Sab
bath Schools. They were not even good poetry, and
were without a single element of praise or worship,
sickly sentimentality and glittering nonsen.e.
Mr. Hunter said there was this consolation in
it, that these songs would all die soon ; not snore
than one in five hundred would live twenty years
from now, but there will be always something
worth singing. "There is a fountain filled with
blood," and that battle song of the redeemed,
church that we all love, "Am I a soldier of the
cross, " will live always, and will be as good
when Christ comes as they are now. They will
live when this trash that Bro. Dunn mourns over
shall have passed away.
From the tenor of the speakers remarks it was
evident that his intention was to afford Mr. Dunn
an opportunity of falling back as easy as possible
from the advanced position he had taken while
there was yet room to retreat, in view of the storm
that was evidently brewing, and unmistakably
manifested by the uneasy manner of the singing
men present, and their eagerness to obtain the
floor. Messrs. Brown and Green came down on
Mr. Dunn like a whirlwind, and for a few min
utes there W 0.3 a fearful mingling of colors, and
the matter looked as though Mr. Dunn would be
done Brown, while Mr. Akers, in a tone and with
a manner which evidently silent business, insist
ed on knowing where those objectionable hymns
were to be found. Mr. Dunn struggled manfully
to maintain his position, but it was evident that
he either not sufficiently fortified himself or had
miscalculated the strength of the enemy, and was
obliged to retreat under cover of the darkness of
the night, which together with the lateness of the
hour, and the clamor for adjournthent, it was
thought, saved him from niter annihilation; when
the association after hearing the report of the
business committee, adjourned with benediction
by Rev. McMurray.
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 3D.
The devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. Gebrett of Saltillo.

TOWNSHIP REPORTS,
Verbal reports from the different townships
were recieved, embracing those of Morris, Maple
ton, Orbisonia, Three Springs, Walker, Tod,
Petersburg, and Alexandria.
FUTURE INFLUFNCE
The subject, "Influence of the Sabbath School
on the Churches hereafter," was opened by Bev.
Kisler. The church of the future will be a singing
church ; we are making good progress in hymnol
ogy. It will be a talking church ; our children
are learning in the Sabbath schools to talk on the
subject of religion. It will be a reading church.
It will be a socialahurch; there is no caste amongst
children. It will be a more morally intelligent
church, because the children are being taught
scripture truths. It will be more emphatically a
working ehursh ; laymen are now everywhere be
coming laborers. It will be a more harmonious
and united church, with more of a cultivated spir
it of christian union, and hence the necessity of
working diligently to bring about these excellent
results.
Dr. llotchkins spoke of the lamentable amount
of ignorance on the subject of bible truths, now
existing in the country, as one of the great hind
rances in the work of the church, and to be reme
died by the Sabbath School.
NON-PROFESSING TEACUERS,
The subject, "Should persons 6e employed as
teachers in the Sabbath school who are not them
selves professors of Christ ?" was opened by Sam
uel McVitty, esq. The speaker deplored the ne
cessity of placing children under the care of those
who are not professors of religion, a necessity to
which he had been driven for want of religious
teachers. We must use the best material we have,
but as soon as the opportunity offers of doing bet
ter we should embrace it. To be successful we
must have working teachers, and those who feel
the weight of souls resting upon them. The result
will then be the conversion of the children, which
is the aim and object of the Sabbath school. As
soon as such could be obtained he would shove
out those who were not professors and till their
',laves with those that were.
Dr. liotehkins said if the Sunday school is to
teach children the truths of the gospel in its sub
stance and essence, how can this he dune by one
who does not know it himself?
Mr. Palmer said when the alternative was I re
sented of employing non-professors as teachers,
or doing without a Sunday school, he would take
the best he could get. and endeavor by God's help
to make them what they should be. What will
we do with those unconverted men when they vol
unteer to teach, and professors of religion refuse
to do so ? lle was opposed to "shoving them off."
Mr. MeVitty would ask a question. What
would you do if the sacred desk was filled with an
unconverted man—hold him there or shove him
of?
Mr. Palmer. Would it make him any better by
shoving him off? . .
Mr. illair referred to the instance of Dr. Chal
mers and John Wesley, who bad preached for two
years before they were converted.
Mr. Loss proposed to answer the question. "If
the Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat, hear
ye them."
Mr. Prideaux said rather than employ uncon
verted teachers ho would have no school, but would
pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers, and
believed that Go , who is the hearer and answerer
of prayer, would send them in his own good time.
lie gave the history of the school in Orbisonia re—
cently established, as an instance in point. God
never left things at loose ends in Ilis church. It
was very questionable whether Dr. Chalmers and
John Wesley were really unconverted while
preaching.
The convention adjourned after hearing the re
port of the Business Committee, to meet in the
Presbyterian church at 2 p. m., where arrange
ments were being made to hold the children's
meeting.
THURSDAY AFTURNOON.
, The children's meeting in the Presbyterian
church, the only building in town large enough to
hold the assemblage, was well attended and highly
interesting. The schools of the town were largely
represented, and the juvenile audience entertained
by brief addresses, full of interest and moral in
struction, from K. A. Lovell, esq., of Huntingdon,
S. P. McDivitt, of Calitornis, Rev. Moore, of Mc-
Veytown, and Rev. Kisler, of Tyrone.
. . _
The exercises were interspersed with appropri
ate music, which contributed largely to the enter
tainment, and reflected great credit on the com
mittee appointed to attend to this department, and
the excellent choir of ladies and gentlemen who
volunteered their services on the oecaoion.
Rev. Barr, of Alexandria, closed with a most
fervent and touching appeal to a Throne of grace,
after which the schools were dismissed with a
doxology by the choir, and benediction by the
chairman.
BUSINESS RESUMED.
The business committee reported a programe of
exercises for the evening, which was adopted.
LOCAL INSTITUTES,
James A. Brown, chairman of the commit'ee on
local institutes, presented the following report,
which was adopted and incorporated in the
minutes:
The Chairman of the Committee respectfully reports
that having baled to get the members of the Committee
together at any time during the year, be was obliged to
decide between bolding no local conventions at all, or ar
ranging for them as best he could with members of Coin.
and other Sabbath School workers throughout the county,
by correspondence. lle decided thus to to what he could,
and is glad to have to report to-day, that three local con
ventions of considerable interest have been held in differ
ent parts of the county since our last annual meeting.
The first of these was held at Dudley, on Tuesday, Sep
tember 29th. Of that meeting I want here to say that
when the Huntingdon delegation and others arrived by
the forenoon train, at the Union Church in Dudley, they
were at once convinced that the Great Master of &seem-
Mins would be with no that day, for we found the people
had from 9 o'clock in the morning continued with one
accord in prayer and supplication for God's blessi^g on
the convention about to assemble. And their prayers
were answered, for the presence and power of the holy
Spirit was felt in the hearts of those who had the pleasure
of being there that day and evening. Mr. John Whitney
of Tod township, presided, It. McDivitt and A. S. Brooks
were chosen Secretaries.
The second convention woo held at Orbisonia, on the
Sth and 9th of December. This was perhaps the most in
teresting convention of the three. I must not now take
up your time to mention is detail the exercises, but if
lion. W. B. Leas, who presided, or Rev. McMurray, or
others who were there, are now present, will bear me out
in saying that though there may have been neither giant
Goliaths, nor tall, kingly Sauk there, vet there surely were
some warm-hearted Jonathans and Davids, whose souls
were knit together hi the bonds of Chriatian love and zeal.
Nowhere have I seen the power of the Holy Spirit so man
ifested in blending together the hearts of all the people.
obscuring for the time all denominational distinctions and
filling them with one common desire and resolve, viz :
to glorify God by a more entire consecration to His service.
The third and last convention was held at Shaver's
Creek and Petersburg jointly, on the loth and 11th of
March. The shortness of notice in order to have it before
the sleighing would break up, caused this meeting to to,
of a more strictly local character than either of theothers ;
yet the local attendance was good and the deep interest
taken in the exercises showed that in Shaver's Creek and
Petersburg there are many warm-hearted disciples of tho
Master, who are divirous of still further progress in the
Sabbath School work.
Believing that these local meetings area means of awa
kening a greater interest in the cause throughout the
county, the Committee would recommend a continuance
of them in the time to conic.
JAUE3 A. BROWN, Chairman,
FINANCES.
The Treasurer after a statement in regard to fi
nances, was authorized to receive subscriptions
from those present, and proceeded to do so, the re
sult being a subscription of $37.
PERSONAL APPLICATION.
The question, "Should there boa personal appli
cation of the lessons in the Sabbath School ?" was
opened by Rev. Akers. The tenor of the speaker's
remarks was to the effect that the great object of
teaching was to lead the children to Christ, and
that as the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa
ment everywhere points to him, the application
of the lesson should be in that direction.
Rev. Mr. Doyle attempted to make some re
marks on the question, but expressed his inabili
ty to understand it as presented, and an attempt
was made by the chairman, assisted by Mr. Akers
and Mr. Henry, to clear away the fog, but with
only partial success, and the speaker was evident
ly compelled to feel his way during hie remarks
on the subject.
Mr. B. P. Brown explained his method of meet
ing this question, and some general remarks on the
subject were made by D. Blair, esq.
OFFICKRS, &C,
The committee to nominate officers for the en
suing year, fix the time and place for next meet
ing, &c., presented the following report, which
was adopted, after which the committee adjourned
to meet in the Court House. at 7:30 P. :
The Committee on Nominations, and time and place of
meeting, report : That no place having been suggested
for holding our next annual convention, we deem it in
expedient at present to name any place and suggest that
the subject he referred to the Executive Committee ; that
the time for holding our next annual convention be the
first Wednesday and Thursday of June 1876 (amended and
referred to Executive Committee).
That we nominate as officers for the ensuing year, tae
following named persons, viz : For President, David Dunn,
of Huntingdon ; Tice President, D. F. Stevens, Mount
Union ; Secretary, R. McDivitt, Huntingdon ; Assistant
Secretary, S. W. Collom, esq., Huntingdon; Treasurer, S.
E. Henry, Huntingdon.
That we recommend the holding of at least six district
institutes, during the year and in order to facilitate this
object, have nominated the following named persons as
an Executive Committee, viz : James A. Brown, Hunti..g
don ; John Whiteside, Orbieonia ; Samuel McVitty, Clay
tp. ; M. L. Rex, Mapleton ; Rev. J. M. Adair, McAlevy's
Fort ; Rev. John Palmer, Dudley, and Geo. W. Reynolds,
0 raysville. _ .
T. W. MY TON, Chairman.
THURSDA Y I:VENING
The exercises were opened with singing and
prayer, by J. R. Simpson, esry., after which an
hour was spent in prayer and praise. at the close
of which the Chairman, Mr. Palmer, being obliged
to leave, with some appropriate remarks. intro
duced his successor. Mr. Dunn who presided during
the remainder of the meeting.
The subject of the classification of the schools
and how to teach adult and infant classes, was
opened by Mr. Lovell, who presented in a clear,
lucid and very able manner his views on the sub
ject, embracing as it did, efficient teaching, thor
ough organization, and earnest, active working.
The pupils should he classed according to their
capacities and attainments. The infant classes
should by all means have a separate room, which
should be cheerful and comfortable, in order that
;he first impressions might be favorable.
The bible class should be of a social character
as far as possible, and the method of teaching
should be such as to draw out from the pupils,
their knowledge of the lesson.
The subject was further discussed by Prof.
White, Mr. Henry, Mr. Dole, Mr. Akers, Mrs.
Neal, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Dunn,
each of whom in the general tenor of their remarks,
agreed in regard to the outline presented in the
opening address.
J. R. Simpson, esq., in view of the discussion
last evening on the subject of "Temperance with
Sabbath Schools," and the general tone of the re
marks on this absorbing topic, presented the fol
lowing preamble and resolution which were adopt
ed unanimously :
WHEREAB, The Sunday School presents the very, beet
opportunity for the teaching of Total Abstinence from lit
toxicating liquors as a beverage, therefore,
Ruolred, That this Convention recommend and urge
upon the officers of every Sunday School in the County
to devote at least fifteen minutes of each 3rd Sunday of
each month during the next year, to the agitation and
consideration of this subject, in such manner and method
as may seem most efficient to the officers of the said
school ; and that a report of this work be made to future
Conventions.
A collection for the purpose of raising funds to
meet the current expenses, was taken, and the
Treasurer authorized to address the schools that
have not reported in order to offer them an op
portunity to contribute for this purpose.
Brief parting addresses were made by Revs.
Doyle, McMurray, Dole, and Hunter, which were
appropriate and expressive.
Rev. Mr. Akers, in conclusion, said—lt seems
to me that the importance of the work in which we
are engaged demands a new consecration to it of
time and talent and everything we have, and for
one, I feel like going down on my knees, as hum
bly as I know how, and consecrating myself anew
to this grand work of teaching the young and
rising generation Jesus and His love, and I would
like if all the Sabbath School workers here would
meet me on their knees at a throne of heavenly
grace. Let us pray.
After a brief but fervent appeal to a throne of
grace for Divine guidance and assistance in the
future, as in the past, and with the doxology,
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow," sad
benediction by Rev. Hunter. the Convention ad
journed, sine die.
A blessing to humanity is what Dr. Bull's
Cough Syrup can well be termed, for it has
done more good already than any other medi
cine.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
IVI7ITTLER.i.
The world is full of them. Go where von
will and you will find them plying their use
less and ominous avocation with a vigor that
would, in all probability, insure success in a
competent business. There arc places about
every village, in every town and community.
where they love to congregate ; and they may
be seen at their favorite resorts, either in turn
or altogether, at all hours of the day, acid
often late at night, still plying the knife, each
over his own little pile of thin chips. It ,say
here be remarked that the only result of their
labor is this little pile of shavings between
their knees, as they never "make anything."
for the particular stick being' whittled away
to its smallest dimensions is at last poised
on the end of the thumb awl split in two,
both pieces dropping with the chips. A
"Yankee - never whittles but he makes some
thing; it may be a gun. a wheel, a spear or a
clock. These whittlers come from, and
have claims upon all classes of society, all
classes contributing to the great army. from
the lowest vagabond to the wealthy young
man wit:i nothing to do.
If a pine stick, shingle or piece of wood
were the onii things upon which these brave
veterans were practicing their art, it might he
excusable, at least to a bearable extent. but
such is not the case. When they arc congre
gated for practical operations it too often
happens, that those who pass by. even in the
pursuit of their calling or business, and their
characters are whittled, at first by one, then
another, until all have bad "a turn," unless a
new subject presents itself by some other vic
tim passing by. Thus our wives and daugh
ters' characters are laid on the rack and flayed
and whittled, until the purest character, with
these creatures, has scarcely enough left of it
to be worthy of notice, and the boldest one
will take it up and treat it as he would the
remnant of his piece, and cast the fragments
with the chips. Professional men, attorneys,
physicians or ministers are treated in the same
manner. With them no young woman is rep
utable, no married lady is true, their hus
bands are profligates, the minister is a meddler
and a hypocrite, the physician is not to be
trusted, the lawyers are villains working rain,
and mechanics are despised—and all are
whittled away. This is an unmerciful busi
ness. and it is a query to all hoaest people
how so many can afford to follow it and still
obtain a livelihood. Occasionally one of them
becomes actuated by some good motive and
finds his way into some reputable calling or
occupation. A number of years ago the
writer, in visiting a country school, to his
surprise found one of the veterans of this
great army ; he was a veteran because be was
quite old, in charge of the school as teacher.
He sat near the middle of the room, a few
feet from the stove, on a bench, with a soft
pine stick in one hand and his knife in the
other, whittling away, seemingly as happy as
if lie were in the midst of the most luxuriant
surroundings, the floor being covered with
chips and shavings ; beside him stood three
or four boys "saying their lesson," without
receiving any attention from the teacher save
"that'll do." Not even a visit from a fellow
teacher could detract the attention of this
faithful whittler from his favorite employ
ment. So interested was he in the work of
his life that after all the soft wood was whit
tled away, the benches were attacked, and it
was asserted that a whole one was destroyed.
Other examples of a similar kind have been
discovered, some having been so nmindful of
everything but the absorbing passion that
they whittled away the chairs and seats in
their own houses. A reform is needed and
we would earnestly urge that provision be
made to place the whole army, as radidly as
possible, into a reformatory asylum, where
their habits may he changed, and they sub
jected to healthful surroundings and careful
treatment for their double malady.
Huntingdon, Pa., May 27, 1875.
LITERATURE.
HARPER BROTHERS.—The original members
of this great publishing house now so exten
sively known wherever English books are
read, were James and John Harper, the two
elder sons of Joseph Harper, who was a far
mer on Long Island. These two young men
learned the printing business in New York,
and, as soon as the term of their apprentice
ship had expired, they entered into a printing
partnership, oa Dover street. Their first work
was an edition of 2,000 copies of a translation
of "Seneca's Morals" for Mr. Elan Duyckinck,
delivered Aug. sth, 1817. Locke's "Essays
on the Human Understanding," of which they
printed but 500 copies was the first book
bearing on its title-page the imprint of
J. &J. Harper, Publishers. They were ex
ceedingly cautious and never ventured on an
unsalable hook, and even up to this time any
book hearing the imprint of Harper Brothers
will be found to be a good selection in its
particular department of knowledge.
They afterwards removed to Fulton street,
then to Pearl street where they were barged
out, and afterwards to Cliff street, upon the
same ground where their present extensive
fire-proof buildings now stead, and where the
firm met with its great disaster. In 1823,
Wesley became a partner, and in 1833 the re
maining brother Fletcher was admitted to the
house. James was thrown from his carriage
in March, 1869, and died two days afterwards.
Wesley followed in February. 1870, and on the
evening of April 22nd last, John, who, since
the death of James, was the senior member of
the firm, died of paralysis at his residence on
Fifth Avenue, New York. There now remains
only the youngest brother, Fletcher, who is
about three-score and ten years of age, and
yet active and gives careful attention to the
business of the firm, especially of the Weekly,
for which, it is said, he has a special affec
tion.
Their Monthly, which has now for over a
quarter of a century been the acknowledged
head of the monthly magazines, and which
has contributed more largely to the amuse
ment, entertainment and instruction of the
American people, than any other magazine
published, was started in Joae, 1859. The
firm was preparing to print 39,000 copies of
the January number for 1854, when, on Dec.
10th, 1853, all its property, consisting of aloe '
