Clover, formerly of the Morrison House, in this place , spent Thursday and Fri day of last week with frieuds hereaways. It is more than probable that he will take charge of the Shaw House, Clearfield, in the near future. Jim is a good landlord and a clever fellow. A drunken husband, with a wife and three little children, was the disgusting sight wit nessed at the Altoona dtpot on Saturday eve ning. The Tribune correctly says that "a man who cannot go with his family fur a day's recreation without making a beast of himself should stay at home." The State Miller's Association which met in Altoona last week selected Harrisburg as the next place of meeting, and the second Tues day of January, 1880, as the time. Among, the delegates who took part in the proceed ings we find the names of B. Frank Isenberg of our town, and Geo. M. Cresswell of l'eters burg. By a recent order from the Pension Office, all invalid pensioners are exempt from the bi-annual medical examinations, and in con sequence the examination to•bave taken place, September, 1879, will not be held. This will prevent great delay in the payment of the pensions, and is a matter of congratulation to our disabled soldiers receiving pensions. Mr. J. B. Wakeficl3, of our town, has in his possession a very ancient coin. It was coined in Portugal in 1724, and is very well preserved. It was found by some workmen who were engaged in tearing down an.old hotel in the State of New Hampshire, and was purchased from a gentleman in Kansas by Mr. Wakefield during his late trip to that State. It is very interesting (?) for an editor to pay "postage due" on a letter and find it a communication which will consume an hour pf his time to overhaul and make readable. We know of no greater bore. Unless corres pondents can prepare their communications ready to go to the compositor, they would save newspaper men an immense amount of labor and annoyance by not writing at all. Master Thomas B. Wherley, a SOIll of John Wherley, who a few years ago resided in this place, and kept a saloon in the house 'now oe . - cupied by Fred Mcebus, has been appointed by Seeseiltry Tboeipeoa of th e Navy, to bo a cadet i)f engines= a'Atiespolis, Md.

As per announcement a District Convention of the Order of Good Tempters was held in this place on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, but as n• report of its proceedings were handed us for publication we are unable to give a history of its doings." Tire attendance of delegates, we understand, was not as large as was expected, the intensely hot weather no doubt deterring many from coming, Rev. Dr. J. S. McMurray was present and took a deep interest in the proceedings. The following prescription, first published in the New York Sun a number of years ago, is said to be an infallible remedy for all de rangements of thi stomach and bowels.

We predict for our young friend success in the profession of his choice. The -Millersburg/I/raid of last week con tained this complimentary notice of our fire men : "The members of Citizen's Cornet Band of Millersburg speak in terms of highest praise of the Hap ttngdon Steam Fire Company, fur. which they.furnished music at the parade at. Harrisburg on the Fourth. Their courteous treatment and congeniality elicited for them a golden opinion from our band boys and created a kind feeling between them that will never be effaced. The Huntingdon "fire boys" know how to conduct themselves when! away from home with their orderly preoision, good marching, handsome uniforms arid fine engine, they.need not hesitate to appear in. patilie a nywhere." One day last week, as a "cross-tie sailor" was wending his way toward the rising sun, he picked up, in the vicinity of EaSt Cone maugh, Cambria county, a queer looking thing which excited his curiosity. After handling it and examining it closely, he got a stone and commenced hammering upon it for the purpose of seeing what it contained. He gave it a lick or two, when there was an ex plosion, and the inside of one of the investi gator's hands was terribly mutilated. The curious object was a railroad alarm cap. A good Sataaritan, who happened to pass along soon after the accident, conveyed the injured man to a physician's office, where his mutilated hand was properly dressed, when he went his way a crippled, but wiser m4n. Some months ago we published in the JOUR NAL an account of an accident which happened to an old gentleman named Win. Thomas, by which he was elevated several feet in the, air by a whirlwind lifting a board-walk bodily from its fastenings in the city of Altoona. He has just had another and • more pleasing ad venture with the wihds, which the Hollidays burg correspondent of the Altoona Tribune tells thus : "While walking near the Gays port bridge he observed a funnel-shaped cloud of dust, leaves and scraps of paper revolving with great velocity approaching Lim, and for some unaccountable reason he grasped one of the flying pieces of paper and retained it in his hand: After the whirlwind had passed he was surprised to find the paper that had come in his possession in this mysterious manner' was a genuine five dollar note." "Fire engine, or no fire engine," that's the quest•ion .—News. Over two hundred and sixty-five of our best citizens and heaviest tax payers, said "fire engine," and by petition asked Council to purchase one. But the petition was virtually killed by the action. of Burgess G win when he referred itto a "special committee," every one of whom is opposed to the purchase. Such ac tion was never heard of betore, and it is noth ing less than an insult to the citizens who signed the petition. Those in favor of purch asing an engine had a right to a representa tion on the "special committee," but it was appointed for a "special" purpose, •and con trary to all parliamentary rules and usages no friend of the measure was permitted to act as a member of it. HONORED ion) BLESSED —Whert - .a board of eminent pbysiciaus and clteMiets announced the discovery that by combining some well known valuable remedies, the most wonderful medicine was produced, which would cure such a wide range ofdiseases that most all other remedies could be diapenied with, many were sceptical; but proof °fits merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to day the discoverers of that great medi cine, Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as benetitctors.

The Tempest's Ravages Here and There, On Friday aftcrioon; 5 O'clock, .et stole of wig(' and rain 7iiiagrel over this place Winch exceeded anything of the kind w in this locality within a decade. Tne day had been oppressively hot and sultry, and as evening approached. dark clonds could be seen gathering in the North w,st, betokeniii , Sil.W . er, it something that was aux for by piinti,og homanity, think ing tkitet it would VavOthe el'elet of purifying and exiling the be tted Mtn osiihite: The Sky continued to grow bank' and biacter, flash after fitsh of lightning followed each other in rapid succession, and the crashing peals of thunder and roaring winds admonlshed us that instead of thnexpactant gentle shower a terrible storm was aboul, to burst upon us. Merchants attempted to get their dhow goods within Moor,;, and others to prepare their houses for its cowing, but ti efore this could be accomplished the storm was upon us. The winds roared and shrieked with the fierceness of a tornado, filling the air with such dense clouds of dust that it was almost impossible to distinguish objects across the street. When the wind was blowing its fiercest the clouds opened and the rain poured down in torrents, inundating the streets until they presented the appearance of miniature sear. The tempest soon spent its fury here and passed on to - the eastward. In our town no serious damage was done, other than the destruction of untold numbers of shade and fruit trees. The JOURNAL sign was leveled to the ground, the post being broken by the wind as if it had been a reed. The lightning struck a chimney on the resi dence of Harry Noel, in West Huntingdon, but did no serious_damage.. A lightning rod,. which' projected some three er four feet ftbovq, the chimneV,Bid notseem to lie of mach ser vice, as the electric current passed it and was attracted by the citimney t When any.uf our readers are bored by a. lighttriac,red - aro, just relate this circumstance and have him explain it if he can. Other sections of our county, over which the tornado passed. from all the information we have been able to obtain, suffered about like we did in this place, the destruction being principally confined to forest and fruit trees... We are informed th - at in a grove near Grafton; oa tbe4iiiecif the liakA3.•T.. IL R., about fifty large trees were blown down. The towns east of us suffered terribly in the destruction of property. In Lewistown a por tion of the slate roof and chimneys of the Presbyterian church was blown off • a frame building, in the vicinity of the M. E. church, was entirely demolished ; the end of a new three-story brick house, under course of erec tion was blown in ; the roof of Felix's fur niture establishment was lifted bodily and dashed into the residence of J. C. Sigler ; the tin roof of M'Kee's tannery was lifted and rolled up like a scroll ; the steam mill of Blymer was considerably damaged - ; two. frame stables were leveled to the ground ; a boy was blown from a sulky and severely hurt, and trees, shrubbery and fences were de molished. Mifflintown, teu or twelve miles east of Lewistown, felt the fury. of the storm to .a greeter , extent than',:any ; other place in its truck. SOrne portioni oft'he toWis evert Al most destroyed. The churches in this town seem to have been singled out as objects upon which the tenspeet hurled its fiercest' blasts. The Lutheran church was slightly darnag,ed by having its fire-walls torn away. The Methodist church, as we learn from an extra issued from the office of the Juniata Tribune, "had its front gable wall blown in. The roof was torn off, and about a quarter of the ceil ing thrown down. The choir had not long ago, vhanged its position to the gallery. The organ _was entirely „destroyed, also : sal „Op beitkchislekatel there: • Xl) et lame, liotiv:Or thve , reef we ilenuitet, , ..wall= talc $l2OO to $l5OO to repair the loss." From the same source we learn that "one of the gable ends of the - Presbyterieg • eleeFch %wee blown in, the roof &Wearer,- and . ego VS frame work. This church was wrecked after the manner of the Methodist church, only more extensively worsted. The organ and some of the pulpit furniture was saved in a damaged condition. It is doubtful whether it is worth while to rebuild the structure. The rafters were blown in all directions. A curious sight may be seen, as one of the freaks of the storm, in a piece of studding or rafter 'that twirled itself around and pierced through both sides of Mr. Burchfield's barn. in the rear of the church. A piece of timber was. taken to the rear of Alien's house, and going through the door, struck and killed Mrs. Crisswell in stantly. She was found amidst the wreck, caused by the falling wood. She was about seventy-five years of age. The timber struck her head just above the right,eye completely. crushing in her skull. • •• Besides the great destruction of church property a row of ten buildings on Alain street, occupied principally as stores .were unroofed, the gable ends blown in and the contents badly damaged. The carriage factory of Showers & School mas badly- damage , l, and a number of carriages were destroyed. The roof of the public school building was blown off, and nine other buildings were more or less damaged. The loss to property in this place will foot up at least $25,000." , . College Commencement. The closing exercises and commencement of the Normal College which were held in the commodious chapel •Of the college building on Thursday, the 10th inst., was an event of more than ordinary interest in our town. For the first time in its history has any literary degree been conferred upon any student in our midst, and to those who Witnessed these ex ercises it must . have been evident that this school is destined to accomplish s great good in this part of the country, and make itself the peer of our best colleges. The exercises during the morning and after noon sessions were by the students other than graduates, and were of a highly creditable diameter. They consisted of Orations, Es says, Declamations and Recitations, inter spersed with music. It would be impossible to speak in too high terms of the manner in w4ighl,ht young people acquitted theu3selaes. Theft items reflected credit upon their tiictieh, and must have denronstrtted to mans parents in the large audiences that were present during the entire day that it is not necessary to send their sons and daughters away from Huntingdon to obtain an education; and this fact must impress itself upon the mind of every parent that with these advantages and opportunities for obtaining a high college. education at home where their, children, eau be constantly under their care, and the in fluence of home, there is no occasion for send ing them away, and allowing them to be brought uuder the influence of evil associa tions, and be ruined by bad habits as is some times the case. The most troublesome and deep seated infidelities are sometimes imbibed by young people while away at school which would be avoided if they were constantly under the influence of home and guarded by the watchful care of.pareuts and friends.f Ttfe eveningsessfonwas the comm - elicent en t, and at this session the degree of Bachelor in English was conferred upon the three who had complpted the Norrall English Course as prescribed by the Institution, and passed the final examination. The graduates were Miss M. Linnie Bosserman, Polo, Mo. ; Miss Phebe R. Norris, Gettysburg, Pa., and Mr. Gaius M. Brumbaugh, son of Dr. Brumbaugh of our town. Miss Bosserman read an essay entitled "Twilight of the Future," which was well read and reflected credit upon the author. Miss Norris also read an essay, entitled "For What Is it,"which contained many beautiful thoughts which would scarce seem to be suggested by the odd title. An oration was delivered by Mr. Brumbaugh entitled "At the Threshold," in a manner that reflected great credit upon the youthful orator. It was a thoughtful production well delivered. The degrees were conferred by the President of the Institution, Elder James Quinter who &so delivered au address to the graanstes. The number three in the opening of the school only three years ago, and the number three in the first graduating class was pleasantly re ferred to by the speaker. At the close of the exercises Eld'er Isaac Price, of Phoenixville, Pa. : the famous Temperancelecturer of Wash ingtonian fame, now over 77 years of age, as cended the rostrum and in an animated speech presented to the school an elegant pulpit Bible. The exercises were conducted throughout by Prof. J. U. Brumbaugh, whom the Trustees have recently elected Principal. The number of students present during the year which has jast closed was 197. INTERESTING TO CHILDREN dF DEAD Sotnisas.—lt has heretotore been held by the Pension officers in cases of minor children the limitation began when the child reached the age of sixteen years, and that no claim, on account of a minor could be entertained that was not filed prior to the date on which the child became twenty-one. The new arrears' law wipes out all limitation, and any child now over twenty-one years of age who would have been entitled to pension, and failed to apply before reaching majority, can file a claim and prosecute it successfully. Claims of this class, rejected under the ruling of the officer, can be re-opened and allowed. Co. OF IIuNTINGDor( eniTlyrr, FOR FRR_SCII4OL YRAR MAY 31, predecessor, in his re port for 1977 and 153 , presented a very interest ing and valuable historical sketch showing the condition of the edu •ational affairs of this county. prior to the ii.no 2 tion of thtOotneriOnsehool system and the progre,s of the 4 4t00j work tinder the sys tem'. 4 A simple c.,aip )nitive glance r.t' this is saf- Ecient to')imprys ever,' one with the potently of the:srtei4ptnif s tile grand success it has:Met with. lips.;witiclils statistical tables affords a basis for many itit.,ro , ting coin pa rison tn submitting this, tit:l , 44-st report, it is my aim to repre-ent as clearly as possible, without clrupariAost, the true C tnaiLiin of the public sthool atfairi as I found them on entering upoatuy °tibial duties. • 1;4!, again, in p.tssing upart the items in tlicse reports. there is in Some oases a margin on the pre sevhed directions, for the jiDiginent of the Super intiptlent ; and as no two think alike on all sub jects it possible sad not unnatural, for discrep ancies to occur; reports of different authors mly vary, even where there has been no change in the facts. scetooL c rtouy vs, 1 1n many instances we could nut obtain the nee: estary information as to the extent of the school grbands, then. could. do no better than guess at it—estimate front appearances; hence, some of the gte res.,arde:l as bclongit , to the school lots, may b, individual pruporty ; and. withal, it is an unfortunate fa 1 that one-third or more of our sobools have not suliluient territory for physical exercise; many of the yards do not embrace as much grohnbi as the buildings stand on. This is a seri ous mistake. It is Verynegative economy to select for a school house , site, Soule untills.blo spot, bare ly largo enough to cont..in the walls of the build ing. There should be, at lea4t, space enough for a regulation base hang ell, awl directors ought to ptirch9.so such a lot for every school not so pro vpleii fur. oaouNDs suitAeLT IMPROVED Many are inclosed with suitable fence, but very few are provided with shade trees or arrangements for the plays of children. nous Es . We have many very good, comfortable hones that answer the wants of the people very well, but none that fully meets the conditions of 'a first-class house' as defined in special instructions; none but what lack in one or more of the following partic ulars : p,rtied, case fur books and apparatus, well ventilated,and room for the Principal. The stand ard of the Department seems rather high for the present ideas and means of the people of our county Five new houses, and an addition to another, were built daringthe year : One in each of dlone well,iacksun, Brady, Penn and Warriorsmark dis tricts: Those of the first three are good sized, neatly constructed frame b.; ''sings; the other two are good substantial brick fildses. All have high ceilings and are comfortable and well lighted. Those of Hopewell, Jackson .and Warriorsmark are furnished with patent desks; the other two with new home-made desks. In Marklesburg, an addition was built to the old •house, making two rosins fur graded schools; these rooms are separated by a folding partition, and are, therefore, capable of being united in one for public occasions. Both apatements were furnished with new borne-made desks. The number of houses "unfit for use" is diminishing—hope the time is near at hand when that column in the statistical table will remain blank. There are only four of those old, reqpoor log houses and seine of these will be replaced by good new onus before another term of school opens. OCT NotresS. Sixty-one schools wfthout suitable out-closets! If people were fully sensible of the influences with which their children come in contact through this want, public sentiment would certainly impel di rectors to provide suitable buildings and teachers to take care of them. I , I; KNIT URI: Thirty-seven schbolroqius hive patent desks; twenty-four are still afflicted with the old style "writing bench." which consists of a broad board propped up and attached to-the wall; in the other 165, are various styles and grades of desks, rang ing between these extremes. Many of these are injurious; others are adapted to the different sizes of pupils and may be reckoned as,pretty goad, bat the best of theth are by no means k 'equaliacoatreuV ience and comfort to the patent desks. Of the ten rooms supplied with furnitureduring the year, six were favored with good palas4laaka., Many rooms are not provided with sufficient reoi-' tation seats, and very few, with extra chairs-for visiteri—a number have not even a chair fa/Fa* teaoher—a Little bench being substituted. APPARATUS Very few of our schools ate "well supplied with apparatus' yet we noticed outline snaps itt 1111 schoolrooms, globes in 20, solar systemchart in 9, spelling and reading charts in 13, good blackboard, in 98, blackboard of some (Ismaili - hen it 53;V/5 at least, being in need cq a toad blankbgerd), mad clock in 13. Also, pictwrerin - 330rreaths in 9; flowers or b.ouse plantain 9; window .bli o nds in 4; sohool.niott i oes in 25, and clean floors in 48. In a few schools we found thd pupil!; all With hands, face and clothes clean and hair nicely combed, observing a general ordee df neatness in their habits. Teachers should encourage pupils, and require them when necessary, to observe cor rect personal habits. TEXT BOOKS Many of our teachers have been embarrassed with &great diversity of text books. Some boards of dir etors adopted new books but cfid not ex change or discard those then in use. Patrons were directed, when purchasing books for their children to get of the kind last adopted, and in this way directors hoped to gradually introduce the new se ries without extra expense to patrons. The result is obvious—it occasioned the existence in the seine schools, of two distinct sets of books making the the classes so numerous that the teachers could not possibly do justice to all. Two schools have been graded: one in Orbisonia and one in Three Springs. Two new schools have been established—one in .I)tablin and one in Hope well.

' ...tsttpUtiaS,. - • f . • About one-thard44 our-teitehefs sr* vsell-qauli fled for their weiriland -have been eminently suc cessful daring the terntjaat closed; about one-third again acquitted themeelves creditably and render- - ed• general satisfac,tion—some of them, perhaps, more than simply this, yet - by properloi:ethoirgbt, skill and energy, they might liaie doubled the glory of their records. Of the other one-third, perhaps many also rendered general satisfaction, but in too many cases, deficiency in scholarship and lack of spirit and p ecision in the work have been characterized by liltl4 or no progress. This Comparative classification is the result of an actual summary from my visitation note book. I was at once impressed with it as a striking co incidence with the fact that one-thiid of onrtesch ers attended county institute almost all the time and took a deep interest in it. One-third again attended part of the time and one-third did nut at tend at all. There were a few failuies during the term; some through the incompetency of the teacher, and some through opposition of patrons arising from feelings that should not be permitted to in terfere with the interests of the public school. The foregoing is not as flattering an account of our teachers as I would like to present, but I do not want to paint the picture more brilliant then the reality. And yet, I believe, the merits of our teachers as a whole, will, upon a similar basis, compare 'very favorably with those of other counties unier similar circumstance'. EXAUINATIONS , Twenty-seven public examinations were held and 308 provisional certificates issued. Catch potatoes were avoided; the aim was to ascertain approximately the applicant's knowledge of the branches and his ability to teach them. Many citizens attended these examinations and became greatly interested in the exercises. COUNTY INSTITUTE. The annual session was held in Huntingdon, December 16-20, MS. Our very able corps of instructors consisted of Prof. D. M. Sensenig, of Falsington, Pa., Miss L. E. Patridge, of Philadel phia, and E. Brook, Ph. D., of Millersville. State Normal School. Prof. M. L. MeQuown, County Superintendent of Clearfield county, and Prof. W. 11. Schuyler, of Lewistown Academy, visited us and rendered assistance. A number of our own teachers took an active part in the work and ren dered valuable service. Monday evening was oc cupied with discussion, orations and music.' Lectures—" The New Bonanza." Miss Jessie E. Wilson; "Robert Burns," Wallace Bruce; "We Girls," Miss L. E. Patridge, and "Rome Educa tion," Dr. E. Brooks. • The valuable instructions were highly appreci ated; the exercises throughout were alive with in terest and the•large attentive audience remained solid to the close of every session. Public senti ment everywhere was unanimous in pronouncing this meeting a grand success. The minutes were published in pamphlets. Jr.is a great misfortune that one-third of the teachers employed in the county, and those gen erally, in most need of instructions, did not attend and profit by the valuable lessons that were given. In this county teachers are legally entitled to a credit fur the time spent in attending county institute, but many boards of directors last fall, ignored the law and refused this credit; the teachers submitied, and signed away their rights in articles of agreeMent to that effect and then cited the transaction as an excuse for not attend ing. Teachers' salaries have been reduced generally thro.igllciat the county. This is a fatal inigake and T trust directors will correct it next fall. TBITITIONS, Every - s,hool in the county was visited—some scoon4 time. Some being temporarily closed when :irst reached, we had to afterwards tusks npeuial trips to visit them, at a cost of much inconvenience and extra travel. We traveled about 1300 . miles. Notwithstanding the severity of the winter I di I nut stop a day on account of bad weather or roads. Thhs, traveling through an atmosphere gau4ing several degrees below zero: through rain, sleet, and r-ow storms; tug ging through a deep snow 311 mile: with a buggy, and conversely dragging a similar distance through the mud with a sleigh; to see one's hor-e plunge now into the snow drift alai at another phase of weather, into the mire so deep that there is no assurance of his being able to get out, dc., are some of the unenviable novelties incident to a visiting tour. We de not say this complainingly, however, by any means. I desired to have the directors visit the schools with tne, but because of the uncertain con lition of the roads and my not being sufficiently acquainted with the country I could not make appointments in advance, with any certainty of being able to fulfil them, and I hail not time to hunt up the directors as I went along, so only those whom I happened to meet or found it convenient to call upon had the oppor tunity of accompanying me; but even those, a majority of them could nut make i: suit at the time to yo along. MEETINGS. It was my fixed determination to hold at least . one educational meeting in each district, but from an accident last fall, I sustained a severe wound, which gave me such intense suffering during my visitation tour, that I did not feel like undertak ing this work. There are many schools occasionally, but very few, regularly visited by directors and patrons— one great stimulus to thorough and effective work left unimproved. OBSTACLES. The one great obstacle in the way of school progress is the want of co-operation; this is the obstacle—the ostensible source of all the detailed minor obstacles I can mention and the removal of this wil disperse all others. Welfare of the public schools demands the unreserved support of crerybody ; an enthusiastic public sentiment that will encourage and support directors in paying liberal salaries to competent teachers, and in co operating with the county superintendent to secure the best qualified teachers, that will en courage and support the teacher in his efforts to advance the interests of the school, and dis countenance and rebuke truancy, gossip and all other vices in pupils; that will sustain the cause and workers of education, as men stand by their political party, and th men made prominent by a nomination. With such a co-operation the old stereotyped plea "hard times" would seldom, if ever, be quoted. (1). Liberal salaries would be offered and paid to eompetent teachers. (2). Incompetent teachers would have to "take back seats" and consequently the schools would all be supplied with good teachers, or the best that could be had. (5). Schools would have a uniform series of books, and children whose parents are not able to bay the necessary books would be supplied by the board of directors, then, (4) complete classification .could be readily effected, and (5) a regular graded course of study c uld be adopted by which all teachers in the county would be working on the same. plan. The work could then be dope so systematically and thoroughly each term that it would form a reliable basis to build upon at the beginning of the next term. Yes, universal co-operation will remove all obstacles and complete the mission of the common school system. General and special remarks might be extended to great length, but fearing that my report is already too long, I will close, hoping that each succeeding year may bring forth a more favorable report. I hereby extend my many warm thanks to the good people of the county—teachers, directors and others fur the generous hospitality with which I have been received; the press for repeated courtesies and favors and to the department for indulgences, instructions and other favors. [Comm In HOW TO STARVE THE EDITOR.— "Why, John, where did you get this old JOURNAL around this package ?" "It is a new one, if you look right." "Well, it is marked '73, what does that menn.?" "Why it means that I have not paid since then." "Well r must say you are a knave or the editor is a fool." "Well, as long as he i$ fool enough to send it I will be fool enough to rend it. He has never asked me for his money." I am sure he has dutined and double dunned_in his paper. What do you call that?" "Oh, I don't mind that; . a fellow hie to tome squire down on me before he gets any money out of me." "Such treatment is all wrong. The editor has to pay cash for everything entering into the publication of his paper, and if you read it year after year, without paying for it you are committing a great wrong. An editor cannot afford to travel about fur the purpose of collecting his bills, and when he asks you to pay him you should do so at once For my part 1 would be. ashamed to have a paper ad dressed to me with a tab upon it showing that I had not patd for it since 1873. Be honest and pay what thou owest." CHANGE IN REyENIJE SERVICE— Some three months ago Deputy-Collector Gilbert, of this place, was notified by Collec tor Scull, of Somerset, that he would not be required to sell stamps after the Ist of July, as that part of the business would then be transferred to Deputy-Collector Stewart, of Huntingdon, whose duty it would be to supply stamps to tobacconists, liquor dealers, etc.. in Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, and Mifflin, counties. For some reason the new rule did not go into effect until to-day, when Mr. Gil bert forwarded his entire stock of stamps to Collector Stewart. It is understood that Mr. Gilbert will have general'supervision of the revenue business in the four counties in this sub-district, his duty being to travel from place to place, and conduct assessments, fines, taxes, etc., on all stuff not subject to stamp duty. Mr. Gilbert's responsibility is lessened, while his salary remains the same. lie will continue to make his neadquarters in Johns town. Our home tobacconists, brewers, liquor dealers, etc., will be somewhat incon venienced by the new arrangement, but they have bid the stamp office very bendy for a timber of years, and it is 'thought to be no more than fair that their .brethren in Blair, iluutingdon, and Mifflin counties should now have their turn.—Johratown Tribune, 9th inst. COME TO S.TAY.—A Mechanicsburg correspondent of the Harrisburg Telegraph re cently visited a camp of tramps located near that place, and after some preliminary talk the writer asked one of the tramps what they intended doing after the 15th of -August— meaning the time when the new tramp law goes into operation. One old codger replied that they had fully considered the matter and fe solv e d upon the course to be pursued. At first they thought of leaving the State, but, lie added, advices from other sections induced us to remain, for if we left the State, other States would take the hint and enact similar laws and we would soon have no place to go. So we will remain and are now organizing ourselves into beads or companies-and will build shanties along the mountains and settle down. You see, he said, if we tramp it we are under the new law criminals; if we settle down and steal our living, we are no more than criminals, and the punishment for steal ing is not generally as severe as the penalty proposed fur tramping. Then, too, we will be citizens, entitled to vote, and we can appear as witnesses in the court house, and if we can't prove an alibi when one of our party is brought up we can't swear like think we can. By remaining and taking part in poll tics we hope to be able to secure the repeal of the "tramp act" before long. SENSIBLE ADVICE.—State Superinten sent Wickersham issued the following notice to County Superintendents in the May num ber of the School Journal, which we transfer to our columns for the benfit of those whom it may concern : "The signs of the times indicate the appli cation of largely increased numbers of teach er's certificates dining the current year. They will come to the examinations possessing all degrees of qualification for the work of teach ing, very good, genii, fair, poor, and very , poor. The purpose of this article is to re quest Superintendents to adopt at their ex aminations such a standard of qualifications as will shut out all applicants except about enough to supply the schools. In this way the schools will be protected from the rush of incompetent teachers, the teachers' profession will be strengthened and elevated, and the educational interests of the public will be greatly subserved. The threatened evil is a swarm of incompetents in cur school rooms at very low salaries. If not checked, it will drive the best teachers out of the profession and greatly decrease the efficiency of our schools. The men to guard the school inter ests thus Jeopardized are the Superintendents. It is their duty to do it without fearor favor."

Chew JACKSON'S BEST Sweet Navy Tobacco N0v.15-ly The True Way to invigorate. The true way to invigorate a feeble system is to infuse activity into the operations of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the food is transmuted into the constituents of blood, the chief element of our vitality. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, because it ac complishes this end, is greatly to he preferred to many so called tonics, useful indeed a.; op petizers, but inoperative as aids to digestion assimilation. This sterling cordial, .while it invigorates the stomach, healthfully stimu lates the liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the escape through the regular channels of effete and useless matter thrown off by the system, which is thus purified as well as invigorated by it. Its tonic influence is soon made manifest by an increase of vital energy and a more active and regular discharge• of every physical function, and it has the further effect of rendering the system unassailable by malarial. epidemics. Dulyll JUSTICES CAN'T COMMIT TRAMPS.— The new vagrant act, which became a law last April, to take effect August 15th of this year, will, according to the opinion of Judge Ross, as by him announced in the Montgomery county court recently, considerably affect Justices of the Peace, the Judge holding that after the date mentioned the Justices will no longer have power to commit as vagrants, as they have been doing, but will be required to commit to jail for trial and let the court finally dispose of the matter. This will also cost the county about three times as muc . li for each tramp as the present system does, but under the new law one committal and trial will forever rid the county of that tramp, while under the present law his committal Is a frequent occurrence and in one season costs more than his arrest and trial by jury - will.— Exchange.
