aooa, from a raft landed at Ibo " Lick," near the

had it not bun fur the timely rescue made by
Higler Murray, who swam out loto ibe river and

Wis rescued.

says that Mr. Uvury Broktrboof, of that bnrough,
who It well-known lo many citixeps of Clearfield,
Is 84 yean old, and atlenda to bnainass is usual.
He served under Ibe First Napoleon, whom be

All to Market. Uur lumbermen
have enjoyed one ot lbs finest rafting campaigns
ever witnemed ia this latitude. The streams
were In fine rafting stage from Thursday of last
sreck until Tueiday of this week. The water did
riot very six Inches during all this period. About
two hundred and tea rafis passed Clearfield, be
ing the river and Chest greek aiook, and we are
-told that there are not over eight or tin rails le t
btbind. Clearfield oreek ia cleaned out logs,
spars and rafts, all gone. We were unable tu as
certain tbe number of rafts made and rnn out of
the stream in question. It looks now Tuesday
morning ns though everything in the tbepe of
logs and limber would got into market before tbe
flood subsides. What (be lumber is selling at be
low, we have not learned. It is probable that no
prices will be fixed until the Utter part of tbe
week.

before dense bodies of smoke were noticed arising
from different localities, which hastened uur lum

dampness in the ground and bi u'h the fires lost
their intensity, and, consequently, were not so

learn that Mr. Adam Mover, beluw Morriedale,
lost a lot of saw logs, about 125,000 feet, board

hard work. The tram joad of Weiser A Beeder

Every printer knows that tbo cost of cards fur

advertisements of Ibis kind la every eity and

Kirks at DuKoib. Wo learn from
the Ketnoldiville HtralH, of tbe 2M alt-, that
DuBuis City, this county, was visited by two fires
week before lart, one of which destroyed Ibe
dwelling bouse of Mrs. Hittieftnger, situated Bear
the pestefner. Tbe fire ooeorrrd oa Monday
evening, April I5tb. Mrs. II. was absent from
ihe town, and had left the bouse in charge of a
small boy, who wns locked in, Mr. Fred. Tracy
broke in and got Ihe boy out, and, withaiiistance,
saved Ibe goods In Ihe lower room, but Ihe furni
ture of ihe upper rooms were entirely destroy J.
Tbe Ire is said to have originated from a "da
feet Ire flue." The building was insured fur ITnO.
Tho second fire occurred at (be I.irge lumber
yard of Mr. John DuUola, ea Thursday evening,
April IStb. About 10 o'clock P. M.,lbe blowing
of tbo whistle of the largo mill engine caused a
rush in that direction, and II was auoB diioovered
that a pile of dry lumber had become Ignited by
Iparka trom tbo burning slab pile. By tbe united
action of ihe el tisane the fire waa extinguished.
Tbe fire resulted from carelessness, and had It
been later la tho evening, or bad ibero been a
heavy wind blowing at tbe time, ibe small mill
aad tbo new mill would Lave been burned, and,
la all probability, the large mill would have been
destroyed, to say netbing ef tba millions of feet
of lumber that would undoubtedly have fallen a
prey lo the fiery element.

tng, between the hours of 1 and 4 o'clock, the store

EntTOR RaruiucAM iar Sir t Being Inter
ested in the educational institutions of nur coun
ty, I have, as a matter of course, noticed that
quite a number of gentletueo, mure or less com
petent, sre willing lo serve the public la tbe
capacity ef County Superintendent, and taking it
for granted that lha eanvass be lore the public
would be conducted in a manner becoming men
who would expire to thai honorable position, I
anticipated and hoped to remain simply an inter
ested spectator. ' 1 regret to say thai for the last
three weeks I have noticed a disposition on the
part of several or tbo oaodidatos to combine
against the gent la man who bids tair to be suoooss
lui, hoping thereby to deleat bim and divide ihe
spell among themselves, .'there are certain dis
quahuoatiuus wtitob ia such eases constitute
legitimate campaign capital ; First, non-residence;
second, lack ol a aufhuieut practice in teaching ;
third, a want of tbe proper moral qualtttcatioa ;
fouvta, bad most important, a dsSeieocy in tbe
proper evidence of a ttiorough education. As Mr.
A. it. Bead is not in tbe let deficient in any of
i bete requisite qunlihoations, It became necessary
to invent an objection to biiu. Believing in tho
doctrine thut tbe "end Jusunea tbe meana," and
having determined to resort te any moans that
will aacnmphub their ends, tbey bare unblush
ing ly asserted lhat Mr. Head la an Infidel, and
that be excluded tho Biota from tbe schools at
Osceola. Mow, had these ebarges been true, this
article oeter would have beea written. Feeling
the injustice of these charges, and knowing their
falsity, I have suggested to Mr. Head tbe pro
urietv of noticing mem in a puldio manner. He
replied that aa uppoaoat who was base enough to
stoop to each expedients was beneath his notice,
and that wherever bo was known, sucb charges
would nut be belteved and oould not poastbly do
bun an) barm. White 1 agree with Mr. Head
thoroughly in regard to bia first proposition, I
on still see why urnny well-meaning, otmaoieo
Uoue people might be misled by these false re
ports, and do ao aot under such misapprehension
lhat they would aiierward reitret. In the inter
est of common juJtice, 1 deem it my duljr to stale
tho plain facta. .
I hate known Mr, Read for years, and can
afely say lhat lor Intelligence, morality, and un
sullied honor, be bas lew peer, and no superiors,
amour his opponent a for tbe position. Tbe
charge that be is nn Infidel is an inexcusable and
indefeasible falsehood. 1 have been Intimate
with bia views ever since his return from college,
and know whereof 1 speak, when I say that ao
man living entertains a more profound respeot for
be trutbeof Holy Writ. As to tbe removal of the
Bible from Urn Ojoeula achoels, tbe facto are thee :
The schools ol that pUoe are composed, of both
Catholic and l'rotestnnt children, and Father
Lynch complained to tho School board ia refer
ence to tbe reading of tbe Protestant Bible to tbe
Catholic children in the schools. Ia deference to
bij wishes, the Board took action and decided
lhat the lurtlier readio( of tbe llible In the schools
bo omitted as au exercise t and for this Mr. Head
was ia bo way responsible whatever.
Hoping that my brother Directors desire to see
truth and justice done, I shall attend tbe Conven
tion, confident that tbo claims of tho several can
didates will be considered strictly upoa tbvlr own
respective merits, aud in that Oaae I shall not
ft el apprehensive as to the result.

Mm. Editor : The subject of tho " County Su

portion ol our people, aaa beea discussed at length
hy ibo several journals ia our count v. It is a
tact, that tho varioua writers (or, perhaps, one
writer unaer a me rem cognomens) nave aad ao
other than a periooal Interest Id view, or did aot
demand tbe subject in all Its bearings.
Whilst all our eitiseoa should be interested la
tbo election of a maa to preside over tho interests
of our schools, it is to tho teacher aad pupils,
iore man any otners, tnat suon election becomes
n matter of paramount importance. Tbey ot all
others are more directly benefited by an efficient
Couuly Superintendent, or directly suffer from
tbe arrets uf an Inoompetsat one. Tbo teaohes't
proiession suners in everv ease or looompeteooy.
neglect, or diversity of interest oa part of County
Superintendent, and such loss falls upon the
scbuuis ia waica may are employed, iei mo
illustrate t A Couaty Superintendent lacking tbe
very esaential quelincetioos. " literary and scien
tific acquirements, and skill aad experience in
tbo au of teaching," tbe evidttaces of wbiob are
a uipiomo i rum a couogo legany empowered to
grant literary degrees, a diulouia or State certifi
cate Issued according to law by tbo authority of a
otate formal eionout. ' . o
Tbe standard of qualifications of teachers Is low
ered or raised proportionately with that of the
County Superioteudrnt. If he possesses a high
degree of scholarship, fa master of the various
subjeots with which bo bas to deal, be is at once
reoogniied as a leader and director in tbe profes
sion, and gains tbo confidence of every teach sr,
thus inspiring them to emulation and progress.
Il, oo the coutiary.his qualifications are so mea-gi-e
as to barely fill the most lenient requirements
of the law, and which are only recognised In eases
where no higher degree of qualifications are ob
tainable, bo losea all respect froxa his equals
among the teachers, la disdained by bis superiors
and distrusted by bis inferiors ; be thus ceases lo
be recognised as n leader, eon becomes simply a
straw that is shifted hy every breeae of public
sentiment, having no policy, no ability, and is

As a precaution against Ibo Roorroooo of this

As a teacher, without any personal -interests or

strong etatmo ta tbo posttioa. A few have ao
claims whatever to the office. Tbe fact that a
