The Huntingdon. Journal FRIDAY, - - - - - APRIL 26, IS7B READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. W. L. FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, h the only person in Pittsburgh authorised to receive advertisements for the JointlcaL. He has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention—Home-made and Stolen• Spring fever. Farmers are busy. The trees are leafing. Plug hats are numerous. Lent ended on Saturday. Rye will soon be heading. Advertise, and "push things." Paper hangers are full of work. Blair county court is in session. Large congregations on Sunday. Orbisonians are talking telephone. Butter should be getting quite plenty. Sunday drunks are becoming common. No fogs for several weeks, how is this? The white-wash brigade is out in force. Are the friends of temperance sleeping ? Huntingdon should have a reading room. Huntingdon wants an anti-selfish society. The police should break up corner loafing• Ice cream is now in order. Plenty hot enough. Dr. Davidson says be believes it was "hog measles." Huntingdon's population is not a lecture going people. For interesting reading matter see first page of to-day's issue. Donald St. George Frazier, of Osceola, was in town last week. Court did not adjourn until twelve o'clock on Saturday night. Barring the high winds and the dust Sunday was a pleasant day. The advance guard c f the straw hat brigade appeared on Tuesday. Maj. Geo. B. Orlady is a believer in early morning pedestrianism. The atmosphere is laden with the perfume of thousands of flowers. The foliage is developing very rapidly.— Four weeks earlier than usual. More real estate has changed hands this Spring than for two years previously. Owing to the clouds of dust which filled the air Sunday was unpopular with promenaders. Col. Lowry drives over from Barree Forges to McConnelstown to take the Broad Top train. Plant every inch of space. If you have too much feed your neighbors who have not enough. Riddlesburg Furnaces employ from three to four hundred hands. What a godsend to that region. The corner of Fifth and Washington streets presents a fine field for missionary labor every Sunday. Mr.Fridgey,the master carpenter,on the Broad Top railroad, has moved out of Huntingdon on his farm. The late grand jury failed to recommend the building of a new court house and jail. More's the pity. The old saying that "a green Christmas makes a white Easter" didn't hold good this season. A party called the "Juvenile Minstrels" will entertain Huntingdon on May 17.—Altoona Tribune. Rev. W. C. Kuhn has dissolved his pastoral relations with the Presbyterian church at Shade Gap. David Caldwell, esq, has done much to im prove that portion of the town lying east of stone Creek. A repairer of old plug hats, who has been tarrying in this place, for a week past, is doing a lively trade. A heavy shower visited this bailiwick on Monday night, since which time vegetation is growing rapidly. The sand business, at Mapleton, is not very brisk. The operators are awaiting a revival of business. Blair county now keeps her insane at home instead of sending them to the Asylum at Harrisburg. Mr. Wm. Morgan has erected a large and commodious dwelling house on his farm in Black Log Valley. Maj. Harry Wharton, who has been on the sick list, for some time past, is out again at tending to business. Huntingdon has very many very handsome young ladies. Many of them want to improve their social qualities. Mrs. Samuel Neal will accept the hearty thanks of our household for a fine invoice of the richest lacteal fluid. Can't some enterprising ladies start a neu clus for a library ? Huntingdon needs a public library very badly. A couple of West Huntingdon youths have been experimenting with a telephone, but the result was not satisfactory. The Grand Jury ignored the bill of indict ment against Hon. James W. Curry, at Hol lidaysburg, ou Monday last. You had better sell your wheat. It is folly to bold it. The prospects for an enorn, Sus crop are too general to fail. The school master must have been from borne when some of the fence signs in this neighborhood were lettered. Mr. Lowe, conductor of the Local Freight between this point and Altoona, buried his youngest child on Sunday last. Dr. D. P. Miller took the Fast Line, on Sun day evening last, for a tour of sight-seeing and pleasure through the West. Mr. Cypher, of Henry & Co's mammoth es tablishment, has been on the sick list for some time, but he is now convalescing. Another bright little (Jolla? added to John W. Barndollar's family. It's a boy, and oh how happy Bettie and John will be. The pay-car passed over the Broad Top railroad, one day last week, and gladdened the hearts of the employees of that road. Grafton is growing more rapidly, save Everett, than any other town on the line of the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad. The Nationals claim a registration in their clubs in this county, we are told, of 1700. This makes the thing look "bilious." Owing to the prevalence of the high winds and clouds of dust Huntingdon's prettiest girl did not venture out to church on Sunday. J. W. Mattern, esq, who has been confined to his house, for several weeks past, by sick ness, we are pleased to learn, is convalescing. "When the swallows homeward fly," then is the time when coughs and colds begin to ap pear. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cures every case. W. George Waring, esq., the excellent Court Reporter, was daily visible on our streets du ring Court. Mr. Warring understands his busi ness. The roof of a wash-house on the Fourth street front of Mrs. Armitage's property was slightly damaged by fire on Monday morning last. Street Commissioner Miller• is engaged in clearing the streets of loose stones and other rubbish that have accumulated during the winter. The trustees of the Presbyterian church Laving purchased the Penn Street Hall, we suppose, it will now be called the Penn Street Church. Remember that the JocaNAL Job Room turns out the handsomest, most attractive and cheapest Sale Bills in the county. Send us your order. tf. Dr : B. F. Miles, of Peoria, 111., a native of old Huntingdon, was visible upon our boule vards ;sat week. He is visiting his sister, Mrs Col. Dorris. The bridge of Mr. Watson, spanning the canal between hir residence and stable, has been treated to a coat of paint, which adds to its appearance. Scarlet fever has broken out at Broad Top City, this comity. Ea-Sheriff Amon Houck has lost two children within a week, and there is a third that may not survive. Several of our citizens contemplate a visit to Texas during the coming summer, with a view to looking up suitable places to locate in the near future. The platform in front of the depot of the P. R. R., in the lower part of the town, has been undergoing some needed repairs during the past few days. Rev. M. P. Doyle, of our town, preached a sermon on "Future Everlasting Punishment" in the U. B. church, in Orbisonia, on Tuesday evening of last week. The blackguard who is engaged in writing letters to the young girls in this place will have occasion to use a cushioned chair if he persists in doing so. Jack M'Cahan is suffering from a large and painful carbuncle on the back of his neck, which is the source of great annoyance and inconvenience to him. The front and sides of the coal wharf have been treated to a coat of whitewash, and every thing about that hive of industry looks as bright as a new dollar. The Altoona Globe speaks of the editor of this paper as Mr. Brown. He must have been in a brown study. Gray is the only color about the establishment. The prisoners convicted at the late sessions of our court will be sentenced during the Ar gument Court, in May. One of them has al ready been in jail over five months. The Altoona Mirror flatly denies the report that the force now employed on the P. R., is to be reduced. We are glad to hear this. This will gladden the hearts of many. For the pleasure of one hour's prcmeuade with bangs a lady will keep her hair in papers three days. It has come to this : if a lady can't bang the family she bangs herself. We noticed "Hope" anchored at the Hun tingdon coal wharf, on Sunday last. It isn't often that "Hope" is securely anchored here. This, however ; was a very dingy "Hope." Mr. Joseph Douglass, of McConnellstown, has itrvented a very neat and compact stamp to deface postage stamps. It is very cheap and effective. Mr. Douglass is quite a genius. The congregation of boys, and some times those older than boys, on the corner of Bth and Washington streets, is a great nuisance, and the police should see that it is abated. The printing business gives employment to more persons than any other branch of in dustry, in this place, and yet it is hardly treated with common decency in certrin quarters. Some of Huntingdon's females could find profitable employment in the city fish markets, as being proficient in the use of Billingsgate, vernacular is a desideratum in that branch of business. House cleaning is all the rage. Every good housewife goes through this ceremony twice a year. By the time all the returns get in it costs the head of the family from twenty to fifty dollars. The lengthy old building, usually occupied by a dozen or so of families, which first met your gaze, and generally gave you an un favorable impression of Hopewell, has been torn down. Mr. Kauffman, the Conductor of the wood and gravel train, is convalescent. At present it would take several like him to make a re spectable shadow. We are glad to see him out again. The Directors of the Poor have the floor to explain to the tax-payers of the county—if they can—why they behaved so strangely in selecting a physician, for this place, for the ensuing year. If you want something nice for marking your clothing, buy one of the Indelible Tablets for sale at the JOURNAL Store. No pen, no smearing, and the best article ever offered for this purpose. tf. The Court prevented the Mount Union Times from appearing last week. Our friend Bair and his principal assistant were both sub poenaed to attend and, in consequence, the plough had to stand. We are indebted to Mrs. Henry W. Miller for the first asparagus of the season. Think of mature asparagus on the fifteenth of April I Maj. Petriken, however, assures us that he in dulged in the luxury several weeks ago. On the 16th of May, A. D., 1875, we started to Florida, and the foliage was not as far ad vanced then as it was on the 16th instant.— The season is fully four or five weeks earlier than it was at this time three years ago. Our young and recently made lawyer friend' Davis F. Zeigler, esq., will throw his legal shingle to the breeze in the room late occupied as a dental office by Dr. R. A. Miller, where we hope he may have plenty of rich clients. The vocal concert of the birds, at four o'clock, on Sunday morning, was oue of the finest we have ever beard. It was truly grand. Our swig birds,under the wholesome proteetion of our laws, are becoming extremely numerous. Col. Wm. Williams, of this place, has in vented an improvement upon the Westing house air-brake which will enable the engineer to remove the brakes instantly. There are several other valuable features in the inven tion. J. McKee, "the poet," as be calls himself, a fixture of the Pittsburgh printing offices, spent a couple of days in this place in the beginning of the week. He is on his way to Washington to have President Hayes settle a life pension on him. George W. Garretson, esq., the efficient Cashier of the First National Bank, and David Gwinn, esq., one of the Directors, visited Everett on Friday last. We presume they visited our friend Dubois of the Bedford County Bank. We have the finest "horse cuts" in the State and are prepared to get up horse bills in a style superior to any other office in this sec tion. Owners of horses will please remember this fact when they are ready to have their posters printed. tf. Dr. J. Frank Thompson, late of Three Springs, now of East Liverpool, Perry county, dropped into our office with Dr. Stever, of Three Springs, one day last week. J. Frank is a capital fellow, and deserves success. May it crown his efforts. Mr. Shick, Local Editor of the Nationalie, rejoices in the fact that he can look back over a quarter of a century and contemplate the flight of time. He has passed his 25th mile stone on the three—score and ten track. He trots along at a pace. Rev. F. B. Riddle discusses the ministerial salary question in the last issue of the News. It will require considerable logic to satisfy the average church contributor that ministers' salaries should not be reduced in proportion to the universal shrinkage. A gentleman, of this place, who, a week or two since, spent a short time amongst the Patent Solicitors, at Washington, says that never in the history of the country has Amer ican inventive genius been so active as it is at present. Truly, "necessity is the mother of invention." The people of the county at large, we are frequently informed, highly appreciate the Jouttrua, for its early and earnest efforts to suppress the small-pox. We thank them for these kind expressions of appreciation, and assure them that we only did our duty as fear less journalists. We fear that some of the township and bor ough auditors in this county will get them selves into trouble for neglecting to publish their annual accounts. The penalty is a fine of $2O, and if the township or borough is in debt, the fine for not publishing the accounts is increased to $l,OOO. Hon. G. W. Ashcom, of Hopewell, talks of seeking a home in the far west. It is sad to think that after a man has spent his better days in a locality, that he must pull out a thousand miles or so, in his old age, to find a place, amongst strangers, to deposit his weary body. These be sad times. We sympathize deeply with David Lutz, who was placed on trial, last week, for arson, and acquitted. Mr. Lutz has, heretofore, borne an honorable character, and this effort to crush him we are glad to know has signally failed We hope the guilty party may be brought to condign punishment. If business men want to get the worth of their money they should advertise in the JOUR Nat, "the handsomest and best printed paper in this region." Circulation several hundred more than any other paper in the county, and terms as low as the lowest. Roll in, if you desire the people to know what you are doing. Our clever friend, Adam Hoffman, who re sides in the village where John Rodgers was burned at the stake—or at least in the village of the same name—but who has his shop op posite the JOURNAL building, is one of the best sign painters in the county, and we might add that his equal would be bard to find in the State. It is reported that at a late private party, in West Huntingdon, some forty or fifty per sons assembled outside the building and. acted very badly. If this be so, hereafter it will be necessary to secure the service of the police before guests assemble. It is said that it took a man hours the next day to clean away the tobacco spit. Bah A party of roughs were on a regular jam boree on Sunday night, and as they went staggering along our streets and using lan guage that would almost bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of the denizens of the vilest slums of any city in the land, the query naturally presented itself, "where did they purchase the liquor?" Magnus Bough, watchman at Henry's cross ing, arrested a tramp, on Monday last, for jumping on the cars, and started with him for a justice's office for the purpose of procuring a commitment, but when near the office the prisoner remarked, "Mister, just put this in your book," and as be finished his request he broke loose and made his escape. The counterfeit silver dollar of the new is sue is described as good in manufacture-, but slightly short in weight. The piece is report ed as having a dull, soiled appearance, not the clear, bright look of the mint production. The officers of the division profess to be aware of where they were made and by whom, and de clare that the parties guilty of the nefarious work will soon be in the hands of the law. Capt. John Gaytoa, of Mapleton, one of the oldest subscribers on our list, and who has reached the ripe age of four score years drop ped in and handed us the usual two dollars, in advance, for the JOURNAL, on Monday last. lie is quite vigorous yet, and moves about briskly, but thinks he is failing. He says he has been a subscriber of the JOURNAL from the time of its birth, on the 23rd of September, 18.25. John T. Shirley, esq., is the fortunate owner of two cub bears, which he purchased from a tramp, who captured them from a she bruin, on Tussey's mountain, after a considerable of an effort. We overheard several gentlemen speculating in regard to our friend John's in tentions. They expect him to go into training, and then with bears and pole they supposed he would take the road. The kind lady who sent us the roll of butter to manifest her appreciation of the position taken by the JOURNAL to prevent the spread of the small-pox has our hearty thanks. The gift is highly appreciated, and permit us to express the hope that the gentle donor may enjoy a long life, and that her bright future may never be marred by any such frightful spectre as that of variola. The only case of importance disposed of during the second week of Court was Richard Langdon vs. The Lycoming Fire Insurance Company, which was an action brought by Mr. Langdon to recover $21(.0, the amount of insurance on his store at Dunbar, Clearfield county, which was destroyed by fire January 13th, 1878. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $2362.50. Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir culation of the JOCrRN&L exceeds that of any other paper in the county by several hundred, and that its patrons are generally of the better class, comprising merchants, business men, mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage is desirable to every person engaged in any and every branch of trade. If you want to get the worth of your money avail yourselves of the superior facilities offered by the use of its columns. tf. On Thursday afternoon of last week the lit tle son of Mr. Joseph Cruse, lessee of the Cas tilian Garden, fell into the pool in the yard of that resort, and was only rescued from drown ing by the timely appearance of his mother, who happened to come out of the house just as the little shaver tumbled into the water.— After the little one had been lifted out of the water the mother swooned away, but the neighbors, who had been attracted to the place by her screams, applied the necessary restora tives and she soon revived. Portstown barely escaped a fire on Saturday morning. A little child of Wm. Wirtz, who resides in that place. toddled up stairs, and finding a candle and some matches Upon a table, lighted the candle and by some means set fire to a bed standing in the room, burning all the bed clothes and a quantity of wearing apparel which was hanging in close proximity to the bed. Fortunately the windows and door of the room were closed, which prevented the air from reaching. the flames, thus averting the destruction of the building. Considerable excitement and commotion was created at Orbisonia, one day last week, or late in the week previous, by the sudden dis appearance of L. Frank Wattson, esq., the able and efficient clerk of the railroad company.— Mr. Wattson, it appears, had taken his buggy and driven to McVeytown, from which place he had returned his team, and purchased a ticket for Pittsburgh. Since then no intel ligence has been received from him. His ac counts were found to be all right. Much speculation has been indulged in in regard to these strange proceedings. A lady friend, from the upper end of the county, sends us the following : Air. Editor: —When a man, boasting •if his thousands, yet too poor (?) to subscribe to any paper, what shall we say to him when he makes his week ly call to read our JOURNAL ? Mr. Editor, we believe if you would come up and visit at this pedagogue's house a day or so, very likely he would ask you to send him the JOURNAL for your board bill. PRO BONO PUBLICO. [We know many people who read the JOUR NAL at the expense of their neighbors. It is a great imposition upon all concerned, and we are not astonished at our fair friend's indigna tion.—En. JOURNAL. On Thursday night last a young man named Wm. E. Miller, was precipitated from a freight train near Mapleton, and his left foot was run over. He was brought to this place, and the company's physician called in, who found it necessary to amputate the foot above the ankle. The young man was conscious, said he resided at Mt. Joy, this State, where he had a wife and child. He had been working in a western town, and had come to Altoona where be became acquainted with some drinking fellows, whom he thought were - laying their plans to rob him of a handsome pin which he wore. To escape them he jumped on a freight train, went asleep on the bumpers, and fell off with the above result.—Semi- Weekly News. The York Daily refers to the fact that "bo gus colored canvassers were abroad, collect ing for emigration purposes. One or more of this gang are in York county, plaintively so liciting donations. In Manchester township last week, a tall colored man visited house after house, and exhibited a collection book, purporting to be donations from Lancaster county, and he also represented that Hon. Si mon Cameron had given him $2OO, but he could not show a record of the same. These Liberian emigration canvassers are frauds and the public will do well to tell them so when they present themselves. New York, Boston and other papers, hay.i already warned the people against these traveling agents, and we repeat the caution for the benefit of our read ers." A horse belonging to S. T. Brown, esq., hitched in a light phseton, and driven by his little son Elmer, dashed up Fifth street, at a furious rate of speed, about six o'clock on Saturday evening, occasioning considerable excitement and alarm. As good luck would have it the street was clear of all obstructions, and Elmer kept the runaway well in band and beaded him for the steep bill at the head of the street, where he succeeded in checking him. He then started to drive him home, and when descending a rather heavy grade along Warm Springs Avenue the horse made another effort to get away, but in doing so be got his hind legs over the single-tree when he was caught and unhitched before be succeeded in doing much damage. His youthful driver dipslayed great coolness, and handled the rib bons with as much skill as a professional horseman. MAPLETON ITEMS. M. L. Rex is doing an extensive business in store and tannery. Bark peeling is about commencing, in that we are about as lively here as anywhere along the line. I think a few here a little proud as they get to starching eggs for Easter, instead of dyeing them. The M. E. Church is getting a thorough fit ting up inside, with a new fence all around the lot with iron front. Mapleton is a very romantic place ; if you want to see out the best thing you can do is to lay down and look up, though there is con siderable enterprise here in whitewashing, painting, etc. Then again Messrs. Hatfield & Sons, a short time since completed an additional process for cleansing sand, I believe they call it a churn. They are now making and shipping first class sand, fully equal to McVeytown or Lewistown. This new process adds very much to the value of their sand works, especially in making first and second class sand. A large lot of English and G,rman Almanacs or 1878, for sale at the JOURNAL Store. Also a splendid lot of diaries, if. "WATCH THAT FELLOW."—Jonty Smarts was leaning over a counter the other evening talking to the clerk, when a respect able looking man walked in and, pointing to a name on the register, said : "Watch that fel low." As the cautious individual disappeared Jonty soliloquized : "Watch that fellow !—Yes, I know both of these men. The owner of the name is an lion est, upright, straight-forward man, his word is as good as his bond ; the other is a scoun drel, a cheat, a liar and would be a thief if ha had the moral courage. 'Watch that fellow ! Yes, the one is strain ing every nerve to make an honest living and to meet his obligations ; the other is badger ing every one, and lyingly and sneakingly un dermining his neighbors. 'Watch that fellow 1 Yes, I know them I the one is honorable, noble and generous to a fault, but poor ; the other is a sneak, a cow ard, a hypocrite, but well supplied with this world's goods. "Watch that fellow I Yes ' the one would get up at the dead hour of night to accommodate his neighbor's distressed dog ; the other would delight in the misery of the brute and would curse his master for tolerating him. "Watch that fellow ! Yes, I know them well. The one being poor, has every sympathy for those who are in straightened circumstances and who are distressed and harra§sed by the se verity of the times ; the other gloats over the misery around him and believes that the times are just what they should be—they make the rich richer and the poor poorer. . . "Watch that fellow ! Yes, how strange it is The one stands by his friends, was never known to go back on the man who stood by him, and any one who has ever had any inti mate relations with him trusts him implicitly ; the other would sell his mother, belie his bo som friend and is trusted by no one "Watch that fellow I Yes the one is remark able for his large heartedness, open handed ness' and his manifestation of soul : the other for his meanness, his stinginess, and his want of humanity. Yes, Yes, I know which fellow you should watch." S. S Smith & Son have just opened a new Music and Sewing Machine Store in their large three-story brick building, Nos. 616 and 618 Penn Street. It is the largest establishment of the kind in Central Pennsylvania. Their stock is the largest and best selected in Hun tingdon or adjoining counties.

MYSTERIOUS DEPARTURE OF ONE OF OUR MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS.—U 6 Thursday evening last our community was thrown into a fever of excitement over the mysterious disappearance of L. Frank Watson, General Passenger and Freight Agent, of the East Broad Top Railroad Company, and one of our most respected and enterprising citizens. The circumstance of his departure gathered from the most reliable sources, are about as follows: On Thursday he came from the office to his home shortly before the regular hour for dinner, and immediately began preparations for leaving. He had his horse and buggy brought to the door, and after eating dinner, he strapped his frank, which he had packed in the meantime, benind his buggy, and left town telling no one, not even his family, his destination. He went to McVeytown by way of Blacklog Valley. There be hired a boy to bring the horse and buggy back to this place. He is said to have purchased a ticket at McVeytown for Pittsburgh, which is the last heard from him. The cause of his leaving is a mystery t) the entire community. Certain it is that there was nothing criminal from which he need flee. The most searching examination of the books of the Company, showed everything correct there, while in the community at large Mr. Watson's word was as good as his bond. It is irue he had some debts here, but they were not of such a nature or amount to cause his running away. The greater amount of his indebtedness is partner ship debts, is the limestone business in which he was engaged with Mr. Boring, under a contract with the Bockhill Iron and Coal Company and which will be paid. No one doubts Mr. Watson ability to pay his individ ual indebtedness had lie remained. The most reasonable explanation that can be given of this most mysterious affair appears to be that of partial derangement. For several days he had been unwell and it may be that lie was partially deranged. His family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their trouble, and it is hoped that ere long the mystery will be unravelled and the family again re-united.—Orbisonia Leader, 18th inst.

OBSERVER, SPORTING NOTES.- Huntingdon is without a base ball or,gani. zation. A perfectly white wild pigeon was captured by the postmaster at Emporium, Pa., one day last week. Our friend, T. C. Fisher, esq., was out on a trouting expedition, in the waters of Spruce Creek, on Saturday last, and succeeded in ta king forty-five of the speckled beauties. Last week must have been a good time for the fishermen, judging from the large number of "mau!-heads" peddled through our streets. They were taken in nets, the law to the con trary notwithstanding. There will be a contest between the rifle clubs of Calvin and Cassville, at the former place, on Saturday of this week. If our usu ally attentive correspondent sends us the score we will publish it in next week's JOURNAL.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENC'Y. MR. EDITOR :—The time is near at hand when the School Directors of the county will be required to assemble in convention for the purpose of selecting a Connty Superintendent of schools for the ensuing three years, and, in view of the importance of this duty, and of the fact that the act of assembly creating the office provides that the person so chosen shall be a "person of literary and scientific acquire. ments, and of skill and experience in the art of teaching," a suggestion on the subject might not at this time be out of place. We would therefore take the liberty of suggesting the name of Robert McDivitt, of Huntingdon, as a man in every respect qualified to fill the bill, and meet the requirements according to the letter as well as the spirit of the law. Mr. McDivitt is well and favorably known as a citizen of the county, and while his "literary and scientific acquirements" are beyond ques tion, there are few who have had as favorable opportunities for acquiring "skill and experi ence" in the art of teaching, having, from choice, devoted a large portion of his life to the successful pursuit of this profession, and being therefore by his extensive experience, better qualified, perhaps, than any other man in the county for what we conceive to be the primary object of the County Superintendency, that of imparting instruction to others in the art of teaching. As a progressive educationalist his name is identified with the history of educational aq vancement, in the county sail in the State, from the first steps in that direction to the present time, as a faithful and earnest worker in the cause. He has already filled the office with ability and to general satisfaction, having entered upon its duties at a time when incompetency and mismanagement bad rendered it so unpop ular that the county was flooded with petitions for the repeal of the law creating the office and so conducting it as to commend it to pop ular favor and confidence. His extensive acquaintance with the county renders him familiar with its educational wants and his familiarity with the duties of the office would insure a prompt, faithful and efficient diszbarge of the same. The above facts, which are well known to a large majority of the citizens of the county, we confidently commend to the consideration of the directors, believeing that the interests of the public schools would be best subserved by the choice of Mr. McDivitt to fill this posi- tion. At least this is the opinion and sugges tion of his friends and the friends of school system in this county, and they are PETTY LAWSUITS. ANY PLACE IN HUNTINGDON COUNTY, } April 15th, 1878. MESSRS. EDITORS :-1 date my letter as above because what I have to say might be said or written with equal force and propriety in any part of Huntingdon County. It matters not whether in the County seat, or in the most extreme corner of Jackson, Warriorsmark, Morris, Dublin or Tell townships. In your article in last week's issuo you refer to the novice and bungler. Now, sirs, it is admitted that Huntingdon County is blessed or cursed with more attorneys than almost any county of the same proportion in the State, and I pro. pose to show how the tax-payers are imposed on as a result of this over-production of would be kid-gloved gentry. A petty quarrel springs up in a community ; each party has his friends ; the case is talked over and over until all the standing witnesses in the community conclude that they are important witnesses in the case ; each party gces for counsel ; the more respec table attorneys advise the parties to go home and compromise, but the case has been so ably argued at home that each party thinks he or she has a strong case and it would be a shame to quit. So they go for an attorney who will take hold. They fix up a number of cases, subpoena from five to twenty witnesses on each case, taking good care to put all the witnesses' names on the case in which the county is most likely to be socked for the cost. Now, sirs, what I have said in regard to petty quarrels is equally true of petty larceny. We have an illustration of this in the famous "Rooster case," recently brought into Court, in which the cost was some two hundred dollars. He ought to be a very flue specimen of the feath ered tribe. If this kind of business is not bro ken up it will not be long until (Huntingdon county will produce a !'Rooster" that will of feet the tax-payers as bad as Peter was affect ed. In conclusion, let us, as tax-layers, urge the importance of the Grand Jurors taking this matter in hand and send such parties home with the costs on their own shoulders. TAX PAYER.
