AUGFST 1, 1879,
At the request of one of the members of the
School Board we make the announcement that
the examination of teachers f,,r the publici
schools of this borough will be held in this
place on Thursday, the 7th day of August.
Seventeen teachers will be required for the
schools, and in making the selections we hope
the Directors will see that no drones are
chosen.
A Blair county man, whose horse died near
Hollidaysburg, a few days ago, in order to
avoid the trouble and expense of burial con
cluded to cremate the body. For this purpose
lie procured a gallon of coal oil, poured it
over the body, applied the match, and in just
one hour, according to the Tribune correspon
dent, there was nothing left of the animal but
bis hoofs.
The scholars anti teachers of the Stone
Creek Sabbath School, with invited guests, to
the number of two hundred strong, took the
Broad Top train, on Tuesday morning, for

Wm. Hower, who take pleasure in ministering
to the comforts aud,pleasures of the little ones.
The last legislature passed a bill, which re
ceived the signature of the Governor, and is

of Auditors appointed by the court to audit
the accounts of administrators, executors, etc.,
shall not exceed $5 in cases where an estate
amounts to less than $l,OOO and not over $lO
for each day necessarily engaged in estates in
excess of said sum, unless the court for special
reasons shown, shall allow a higher rate, not
to exceed $l5 per day.
A son of Henry Garner, of Juniata town
ship, aged about thirteen years, was bitten on
the instep of one of his feet by a copperhead
on Saturday forenoon last. The proper reme
dies were promptly applied, and we under
stand the victim is getting along finely. Just
here it would be well enough to add that per
sons going into the woods and other places
where snakes harbor, should exercise the
greatest amount of care, for there seems to be
an extra number of these dangerous reptiles
this season.
Michael Ryan, one of the unfortunate victims
of the explosion near this place, last week,
had been eight years in the employ of the
Collins Brothers, the contractors for the build
ing •f the Mamore railroad, in Brazil, in the
capacity of foreman, having had charge of the
quarries from which these extensive con
tractors procured the stone for the different
jobs they had on band during that time. lie
was going to Brazil in the same capacity, and
was a passenger on the ill-fated Metropolis
when she was wrecked, but being an expert
swimmer he was the first man to reach the
shore. Being a professional quarryman, of
large experience, it is the more surprising that
any act of his should have resulted so disas
trously to himself and his fellow workmen.
This bailiwick was visited by the heaviest
rain fall, on Friday and Saturday afternoons,
that we have experienced for a long time, if
ever. The rain poured down in torrents, and
in less time than it takes to write this item,
the streets were overflowed and looked like
rivers. Several tons of fine gravel was washed
off the hill, completely filling up all the cross
ings en Fifth street. The stone drain, lately
put in by the railroad hands, at the foot of
Fourth street,failed to carry off the water, and
the result was that the cellar under the depot,
and other cellars in that locality, were filled
with water. The water in the Juniata river
and in Crooked Creek raised to the height of
three or four feet in a couple of hours. We
understand that in different parts of the
county considerable damage was done to billy
laud, the soil being washed off to the depth of
several feet. The farm of our old friend,
Isaac Long, adjoining this place, suffered
much in this way.
The right leg of Michael Ryan, one of the
unfortunate men killed in the stone quarry,
near this place, on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, was found lying on the opposite bank
of the river, about three feet from the water's
edge and some five hundred yards below the
Filth street bridge, on Wednesday afternoon.
The limb presented the appearance of having
been torn from the hip socket, and was free
from cuts with the exception of the under part
of the heel which revealed a gash several
inches in length. We suppose the limb was
washed down the river, a distance of a mile
and three quarters,'by the late high water. It
was found by a couple of boys of our town on
their return from fishing.

THE GIANTS.7-THE Two LARGEST
PEOPLE IN THE WoßLD.—Mother Nature is, in
the main, a steady-going old dame, but now
and then she abandons her regular rules ana
methods, and turns out some very queer
pieces of handiwork. "Freaks of nature" we
say • and the phrase is not a bad one, as
applied to those unfortunate specimens of
humanity who come into the world with a
superfluous cranium, or an extra complement
of legs. It is a question whether the specta
cle of such "monsters" is not likely to have
a revolting effect on the average mind. No
one but a person animated by a spirit of
scientific curiosity, or by morbid and un
healthy tendencies can find much - pleasure in
gazing on objects like these, whose misfortune
one would think, had best be buried from the
world. But nature's freaks tend sometimes
in an opposite direction ; now and then she
raises instead of lowering the physical stand •
and of the race. It is not often that this
occurs, and when it does, most men feel their
interest aroused regarding snch types. Por
the information of our readers we wish to lay
before them a few facts regarding two indi
viduals who cay fairly claim to be the largest
man and woman on the face of the.globe, aad
who will visit us on Wednesday next•in con
nection with W. W. Cole's New York and New
Orleans Circus, Museum, Hippodrome, and
Menagerie. The gigantic couple rejoice in the
names of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Bates. The
gentleman stands eight feet, lacking inch,
in his stocking soles, and his wife the same
height,. They were weighed together the
other day, it may be mentioned, and turned
the scales at a little over half a ton ! Both
come of a hardy stock, Mr. Bates hailing from
Kentucky, while the lady represents the cold
but not inhospitable province of Nova Scotia.
Some years ago they made the tour of Eag
land, where they created a great sensation,
appearing, by command, before Her Majesty.
The royal lady, we understand, expressed
herself vastly pleased with the novel specta
cle. In fact, her appre'iation took a very
solid form, and Mr. Bates now treasures in
his possession a magnificent gold watch, set
with diamond., also a chain, the gift of Quee■
Victoria. Mr. Cole4s certainly to be congrat
ulated on his good fortune in securing this
double attraction, itself a show with double
the fee they charge for admission to the whole
of the entertainment. These nineteenth cen-
tury giants are legitimate objects of cariosity,
and even those who are not in the habit of
patronizing such entertainments should for
once make an exception and go to see What
may be termed, without undue exaggeration,
the eighth wonder of the world.

COMPANY D DISBANDED.—The mil
itary company recently recruited in this place
and assigned to the Fifth Regiment, with the
designation of Company I), has been disbanded
to make room for a company just raised in
Altoona. The "order" is issued from the Ad
jutant General's office, at Harrisburg, bearing
date July 25, and reads as follows :
_ .
"Company D, Fifth regiment (Huntingdon),
.is bertby 'disbanded. The commanding officer
wilt. turn over to this department all State
property now in the possession either of him
self or his command, and furnish the enlisted
men with proper discharges when they have
turned over to him the property that has been
issued to them. When the commanding officer
of said company has satisfactorily accounted
for the property in his custody he will be
. honorably discharged." , .
Another "eider," issued from the head-
Anarters of thell'otirth trig/fee, at IttrlttfOnte,
under date of July 26, is as follows :
"Au election for officers of the corupany.rc
cruited at Altoona by R. W. Guthrie and
others, to be known as Company ( 11, g,ifth
regiment, National Guard. of ltetulsitlveulia,
will be held at Altoona on Thursday, the. 7th
day of August, 1879, and will be conducted
by Captain Edward McLean, A. D. C., who is
hereby authorized to fix the hour ac which
the same will open."
A MATTER OF 'LOCAL INTFAEST.—The
Chambersburg Repository of last week, in an
article speaking of that place as a matinfac
tnring-point, daitbs for it all the advantages
possessed by other towns in the State, except
that they are compelled to pay too high a fig
ure for coal on account of thejr remoteness
from the anthracite coal fields. To obviate
this difficulty the Repository suggests a remedy
• which, if carried out, w ill be of great benefit
to the citizens of the lower end of our county,
and we see no good reason why it should not
be aticcessful. We qnote :
"L connection by rail with the Broad Top
coal mines is becoming - a necessity. And this
is not so difficult of accomplishment as many
appear to suppose. The East Broad Top rail
, road, which is a narrow gunge, has been ex
tended to near Shade Gap, lluutingdon coun
ty, and this, by an air line, is only some 15
miles from Richmond Furnace ,
this county.
The mountain is in the way, but there are
low gaps both at 'Cowan's and Fannettsburg
through which a narrow guage road could be
readily carried. A better route, for many rea
sons, would be to run the entire length of the
valley, passing through the gsp at Concord,
and thus reaching Shade Gap by water level.
The grades would be excellent, and heavier
coal trains could be hauled, while the local
trade of Path Valley would bring considera
ble business to the road. A road could prob
ably be made cheaper by the level route than
across the mountain.
"As having some bearing on this question,
it may be stated that a narrow guage road
will be built this year from a point on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Duncannon to
New Bloomfield, Perry county. It is not prob
able that this road will stop at New Bloom
field, but that it will be carried higher up the
rich and flourishing Sherman's Valley, whose
people will also want coal from Broad Top
for lime burning and other purposes. if the
road were built from Richmond by the route
indicated they could connect with it a short
distance north of Concord, at or near Blair's
Mills, Huntingdon county.
"Narrow guage roads can be built very
cheaply now, and we think a vigorous and de
termincd effort might result in the construc
tion of this road. The lime burning interest
is increasing and while the local trade would
be important, it would be small in compari
son with that opened up through the Cum•
berland Valley railroad and its connections.
This company would no doubt extend impor
tant assistance to the work, but the initiative
should be taken by the people along the line.
The value of every acre of good land in Path
Valley would be increased five to ten dollars
an acre by the construction of a narrow
guage railroad, and they could well afford to
give the right of way and make a substantial
subscription to the capital stock. If this were
done, outside help could be brought to its
support."

1-2 t. HENRY &
A BRUTAL CRIME—THE PERPETRA
TORS IN PSIBOX.-oa. Saturday evening last we
were informed that on the Thursday previous
a rape had been committed upon the person
of a sixteen year old girl named Fry, a do
mestic in the family of a - Mr. Gahegan, resi
ding at the Warm Springs. Upon inquiry
we learned that the perpetrators of the brutal
crime were two citizens of this place, named
James Moore and Tobe Conrad, both of whom
are married and have families. On the day
in question these scoundrels were fishing in
the waters of Stone Creek, near the residence
of Galiegan, and by some means they learned
that the victim of their lnst.was alone in the
house, the family being absent on a visit sod
Mr. Gabegan engaged in hauling manure from
this place to the farm of the Wilson brothers.
About 10 o'clock A. if., they wept to a field
where a man named Straithnif wan at work,
and inquired of him how long it would be be
fore Mr. Galiegan would return, and learning
that he could not get back before noon,
they
skulked through a piece of woods and went
to the house where their victim was at work.
The girl says that Conrad came into the
kitchen, caught hold of her and forced her
back into a side room, where, after choking
her, and stifling her cries by placing his hand
over her mouth, he succeeded in accomplish
ing his hellish purpose. In a half hour Moore
entered, pretending that he came to protect
tier, but he was no sooner fairly in the room
than he attempted the same crime committed
by his brutal accomplice. The poor, fright
ened girl got loose from his grasp and, esca
ping, made her way to the residence of Mr. W. •
V. Miller, a mile or more distant, where she
told the story of her wrongs. She went before
Squire Wilson, of Oneida township,•and made
information against them, when a warrant
was issued for their arrest. It was placed in
the hands of Countable Bathurst, and on Mon
day afternoon he arrested the men and took
them before the Justice who, in default of
bail, committed them to prison.
We understand that smite a large number
of people had gathered in the neighborhood
of 'Squire Wilson's office at the time of the
hearing, and so indignant and incensed had
they become at the brutal conduct of these
scoundrels, that fears were entertained that
they would take the prisoners from the officer
and dispose of them accorditik to the rules of
Lynch law.
