In this city, and in tbo employ of
mo i". it. . company, aro llnoo ow
ruilroadore who wero railroaders long
before tho fftUivo sound of tho locomo
tive whietlo was hoard in those liartB,
and the ideas of any such cheerful di
version as a railroad strike or not bad
not occurred. These men are John R
Itlack, tho day watchman at the round
house; Wm. S. McCoy, engineer at
the machine shop at Twonty-oighth
strcot. and.Ilonry Cosaiday, ono el' tbo
oldest locomotive onginoers on tho
road. Tbcso men ulllcgan railroad
intr on tbe old Portau; road, over the
Allegheny mountains, a work or which
thoro aro but lew truces left after tho
cxistoiico almost as brief as tho
work was wonderful. Tbo road, bow-
ever, bus taken its placo in the history
of the State, whore its stupendous do
tails will bo narrated alter those in
whoso memory it is still fresh, have
taken paxsago with chairs.
In an interview with tbo gentleman
named, tho following recollections of
the old road were obtained : The idea
of the road was first laid belore the
Legislature on March 14, 1827, and
very soon after the Bchomo was placed
in tbo hands ot Sylvester Welscb, an
able engineer, who pushed the work
bo steadily and rapidly that in tbo
spring ot 1834 it was turned over to.
tho Mato as completed. Tho work
contemplated connecting tho canals,
which wero built Irom Columbia to
Ilollidaysburg, on tho eastern Bide of
tho mountain, and Irom Johnstown to
1 ittsburg, on the western sitlo, over
coming tbo hitherto insurmountable
barrier to through transportation to
tho west other than wagons. Tho
feat was accomplished in the construo
tioit of ten inclined planes, which oc
curred in a road less than forty miles
in length, and ovorcamo a height ot
2,0, U toot, I.iIUb being on tho oastcrn
and 1,172 feet on the western side of
tho mountain. Thete inclines wore
oporated very much on the plan which
the numerous incline piano companies
about this city hnve billowed, tho chief
uinercnco being the magniiieent scale
upon which they wero required to be
built, tho engines stationed at tbe top
of the disr.y incline being perfect mon
sters in their way. The mountain was
crossed at what was known as liluir s
L'ltn summit, tho descent boing made
along tho mountain branch of tho t'on
emaugh. The shortest of tbo ten
planes was 1,585 feet in length and 131)
iuct of a direct riso, the longest was
3,100 feet in length and 307 feet high.
At lue staplo bund ot tho Joneniangh
river a tunnel of 870 feet in length
was nusbed throuirh tho mountain.
and over tho Horseshoe bend a viaduct
was built in the shape of a semi-circular
arch, ot eighty feet span, which
alone cost (54,502. There are several
other viaducts of less importance, be
side a number of culverts, all built of
the most substantial masonry, and tho
iron rails were of tbe very best quali
ty. On tbe loves at tho different ele
vations tbe cart were hauled upon the
track and then attached to locomo
tives, if the run was a long ono, or if
short, were hauled by borsos, as the
case might bo, to the next plane, whero
tbey wero again boistod by tho sta
tionary engine to the next level.
The original design of the road was
to run the canals on either sido of the
mountain to points as near each other
as possible. A separation of about four
miles of sturdy mountain being thought
to be about as near as could be reach
od, and then to tunnel through. This,
however, was abandoned. The work
as finished, a road of less than forty,
five miles in length, cost $1,500,000.
Upon the completion of the road, the
canal boats landed on ono sido at
Johnstown and on the other at II ol 1 i
dttysburg; the load of merchandise
they bore was transferred to tbo cars,
carried over tho mountain, reloaded on
the boats at tho other side and sent
on thoir way.
In October of 1R34 one Joeso Chris
man camo out of the Lackawanna
country to mako a venture in tbo far
west, lie had his mind and heart set
on Illinois. He gathered all that ho
possessed of this world's goods, and
with his wife and childron and some
domestio animals, placed them on his
boat, which bo named "Hit or Miss,"
dtnd embarked toward tbo new coun
try. His intention was to sell tho boat
at Ilollidaysburg, bat upon his arrival
there the enterprising agont of tho re
liance transportation line noted tho
snug arrangement and conceived the
idea ot shipping it entire ovor the
mountain, lie arranged a car special
ly, had the boat placed on tho wheels
tbo satno day, and it began the ascent
toward tho top of the mountain, whore
it arrived at noon. "Like Noah's ark
on Ararat" it rested thoro during the
night and made tho descent tho follow
ing morning, and was quietly landed in
waters directly connected witb tho
Mississippi, all without disturbing tbo
cooking and sleeping arrangements of
the lanmy.
Tho trip was conducted by Major
C. Williams, and was tho first boat
that was ever transported ovor the
mountains, llolh Mr. Dluck and Mr.
Cassiday have a perfoct recolloction of
the circumstance, tho former being lo
cated at the summit at tho time, and
saw and examined tbe apparatus. It
was the success ol this trio tbat sug
gested the idoa to Mr. Dougherty, that
ne eunsequentiy earned out so satis
factorily: tbat of building the canal
boats in sections and transporting
them ovor the mountains entire, thus
saving the time and troublo of loading
anu reloading the cargoes. J he tracks
wore gotten up on an original plan of
.nr. uongnertv s. 1 ho track was ran
down Into tho water, the truck was
run under the boat, which was previ
ously divided into sections, and ono
section hoisted out of tho water, fol
lowed by tho others In the same way,
they wero carried over the mountain.
oonnected on tbe other side and re
stored to it natural eloment. Mr.
Dougherty, the projector of this
scheme, which was in successful oper
ation for a numbor of years, is still liv-
g at ML union.
This magnificent work bad bardly
been in operation ten years before a
pi eject was put on foot for relocating
the whole road and dispensing entirely
with stationary engine. This was
carried forward, but bod bardly been
completed when a proposition to pur
chase tbe road was made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which
also bad a line through at tbe time.
Tbe proposition waa accepted, and
ootn the old and new r orlage roads
were subsequently abandoned.
The first engine placed on the Port
age road was built In lloaton and nam
ed after that city, Two others were
afterwards built npon the same model
oy nnssrs. Met Inrg waoe, OI this
city. Tho engine was run on tb
fourtoen-mile level between pianos ono
and two.
As a witness to tho broad ideas
tho oarly days in regard to quick tran
sit it is staled that a bill was presented
to Governor J oo iiitncr for his signa
lure: tbo bill providing lor two en
gincs to bo placed on ono of the long
grades, instead ot signing tbo Uov
ornor vetoed it on tbe ground that
their establishment would take awa,
the farmers' market for horses, whic
were sold in large numbers-for tho
purpose of hauling tho cars.
At a meeting of railroad men a short
timo after this, a toast was drank to
Haymaker and liitner's bulls, whic
aro both opposed to locomotives. Tho
Haymaker portion relurrod to a noted
bull owned by that gentloman, whic
bad attacked Iro innovation pn its na
Uvo UMtlU. , . . ... ,
hat would have beon a curious
railroad relic, had it been preserved
is described by Mr. McCoy. It was
snftll engino witb very littlo of tho ac
companying parnpbernaliaol the mod
orn species, having' wooden whoolii
and one of them arranged so as to bo
loosened with a koy, such proceeding
being thought necessary in order to
make turns, tho wrinklo of bonding
the rail not having beon learned at
that day, and the bonds boing made i
short leneths of rail. This ongine was
afterward broken np add tho wheels
purchased by ono John Ivnowl, who
turned oil tbe flanges, and woro see
for years in tbe mountains employed
in hauling logs.
Mr. MeCow was employed on tin
old road first as a teamster, and subso
qucnlly as engineer. Mr. Cassiday
had charge ol tho stationary engine at
tho bead ot a plane, and during th
last summer of the road's existonco ho
ran a locomotive. The stopping of the
road caused a considerable revolution
all along tbo line. .Many towns which
bad sprung np at difleront places wore
soon silent and deserted. Many ot tho
employes who had bought places and
locatod suddenly found their property
valueless and woro constrained to de
sert it. Among this number wero
Messrs. lilac k ond MeCot
Two reunions have boon held of tho
employes of tho old I'orlago road at
"the tMimmit. At one held on Ucto
ber 1, 1857, Mr. lllack was present
and delivered an original poem. Bkolcb
ing the life ot tho old road. At one
held since, Mr. John Dougherty at
tended, and addressed tho poople on
the great out decayed work.
THE EIGHTH WHITE HOUSE

1 he invited guosls woro only some six
ty in numbor, nearly all of them being
persons nearly related by ties of blood
or friendship to the bride or groom
The President and Mrs. Hayes invited
very few of their own personal friends
or relatives. 1 no members ot the cab
inet and their families are considered
to a certain extent members ot the
President's family and woro asked ;
also tho Vice President General Sher
man and Senator Matthews and their
families were included, as well as a few
friends from Ohio residing bore, among
them 'the Chief Justice and Judge
awayno, both ol whom aro absent from
the city, and jccpresentative and Mrs
McKinloy, Senator Matthews and fam
ily and General Shorman are at Prince
ton, so tboy were not, at tbe wedding,
nor was tho Vico President, who is out

at 7 o'clock.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C.
Although it was not dusk whon the
marriage took pluco tho houso was
brilliantly lighted. 1 be broad ball ad
joining the suite of parlors was adorn
ed with plants and shrubs in tubs ; in
all the parlors wero blooming plants in
pots and vaces. The bluo parlor, in
which tho ceremony was purlorined,
was decorated witb cut Rowers, as well
as plants in lull blossom. On the further
SKlool the room aro llneo windows and
a horizontal bar ot colored blossoms
Bt rote bud across between tho cornice
of tho two outer ones, and from it a
huge marriage bell of white flowers
hung.justin Irontol tliocontro window.
On cilber side bung in lesloons a wreath
of green and in each loop was a ring of
whito flowers in one tuo initials "K.
P.," those of tho bride ; in the other
"11. 11," those of the grocm. Ilenoath
each of tho gas brackets on tho wall
was a wreath of roses and pansius ; tbo
chandelier and the two mirrors wero
wreathed witb amilax.
Tho guests wore shown into tho bluo
parlor. Bishop Jagger, ol Southern
Ohio, stood ready to read tho service ol
tho Episcopal church. The Murine
band began the "Wedding March" by
Mcndelssbon as the bridal party enter
ed and went to tho south side of tho
room, where the bride and groom took
their positions under the marriag bell,
facing tbe company. There were no
brides maids or groomsmen.
Tbo bride, whose modesty is ono of
nor most striking characteristics, was
literally "a blushing maiden" as she
approached with her father. They
wore prccoded by the Prosident and his
nieco, Mrs. Mitchell, the brido's sister,
and Mrs. Hayes and tho groom. The
bride wore an old fashioned hoavy bro-
cado, but of a modern creamy lint of
white, mado in a rnnccsso rono falling
in a long graceful train at tho back.
The border waa a box plaiting of plain
silk, edged at the top with a wreath of
orange blossoms and loavos. Sprays of
a like Rind woro arrangod lengthwise
on the sides of the skirt, and the front
waa ornamented with loops of satin
faced ribbon, and at th bottom wero
two plaited ruffles of plain silk. The
waist, cut square in front, had tulle
oovoring the nock, fastened on the
bosom with a bouquet of orange blos
soms, and caught in spaces around tho
net k with singlo flowers. Thosloevos
ended Just bolnw the elbow in r utiles
of plain silk and were met by long
white gloves. A short veil of tulle cov
ered the face and a long full one of the
same material fell to tbe floor at the
back ; both were fastened to the bead
with a wreath of orange) blossoms.
There wss no laoe anywhere about the
dress. This robe, aa well as tbe bridal

From all that can bo learned ot tho

The St. Louis Republican thus de
scribes the death of General Ktiford's
great colt MeWbirtor, on the lflth ult. :
Tbe saddest and most heart rending
eceno ever witnessed on any race-track
in the world happened on tho 19th
day of Juno last, when Mc Whirtor's
forelegs hrokodown in tho back stretch
while tho third mile was being run.
McWhirter, Mahlstick, H.-d IllufT and
Joe I'cmIcs wero tbo starters in tbe
race, tho former two soon taking the
lead and keeping ovon nock and nock
uutil after tho three quarter pole bad
boon passed in tho second milo. About
midway netwoon tho tlirec-ouarter and
eighth-mile posts MoWhirter stumbled.
Ulc! horsemen standing near that part
ol the track knew immediately that
tho horse s caroer on lho race-courso
was ended lorovor, for it was only too
evident that his foreleg had broken
down. Mr. Goorge Cadwallador shout
ed to the rider to stop tbo horso, but
witb a persistence unexplainable he
kept ahead, pushing McWhirter to bis
utmost speed, as was perfectly evident
to all. By the timo the first quarter
in the third mile bad been reached,
MoWhirter had dropped behind Mahl
stick a longth and a-balf, when just
entering on the back stretch he stum
bled airain, and heloro tho halt luilo
post was reached Loo liodos bad pass
ed bim and Rod IllufT was protty close
behind. Just about at the second
turn Red IllufT was aeon to pass Mo-
Wbirtor and at the samo time ran
against bim, throwing him down and
sending the jockey into tho dirt. A
little further on lied Bluff stumbled
nd fell down. As soon as Mahlstick
and Joe Rodes bad passed tho Judgos'
stand, a great rush was made fur that
part of tho track where McWhirter
fell. A most sickening sight mot tho
eyes of the crowd as it gathered
around McWhirter, who by thil time
was on Ins legs again, but only on two
feet. Tbe poor horso was hobbling
around on the stumps of bis forelegs,
tho limbs having beooroe unjointed at
the pastern joint, and the boofs wore
banging loose, joined to the leg by
onlv a small nortion of the skin. The
jockey, Link, stood near the head of
bis borao, crying end saying tbat "tboy
mnsn't blamo bim for it; be didnlt
know the horse's legs was that way."
It was decided immediately that tho
horse must be shot, Officer Keoblc, of
the Filth District was detailed to do
tbe unpleasant job, When the officer
pulled out hi revolver and placed Its
mntxlo against Mo Whirtcr's Lead, the
poor dumb brute did not oven wink :
and when tbe shot was fired be only
jumped a little with bis forelegs, and
tne second shot did not aliect him

was placed where it should have been.

Tbo School Directors of Brady town
ship have given Messrs. Geo. Sugarts
and Cbailos Marshall tho contract for
building a fine graded school building
in tbe village of Lntbersburg. The
building will contain two suitable
rooms, und tho plan ol tbe building is
an excellent one. When completed it
will do great credit to tbe pleasant
little village in which it is located. The
township during this year will support
eighteen schools. This makes the seo-
ond graded building built in tho town

itself, is an evidence oi tho commenda

as I will be in each district early, I
would suggest tbat the appointment of

Secretary of each Board inform me at
that timo, of the exact numbor of
teacher's report books needed for the
coming term.
The following production is from the
pen of a lady who spent many years
in tho avocation of teaching in this
oounty, and wbo still Is active in tbo
cause ot education :
THE SHADOWS IN TEACHING.
Thoro are fow of the avocations of
lite that are so crowded with anxious
and triod workers as that of teaching,
and woe unto bim upon whom the
mantle of school-master falls. What
a paragon must be bo to suit all his
patronsl He should possess all the
characteristics of a Minerva and a
Mars, a Venus and a Paragon, a Sala
mander and a Sensitive plant And
should he go out thoroughly furnished
for evory good word and work, fully
realizing tbo sanctity ot his mission,
and conscious of the purity of his mo
tives, even then he will not meet with
a fluttering roccplion from the busy,
bustling world. Though be be pa
tient, sell sacrificing, and thorough in
his endeavors to lead his pupils slowly
but surely np tho hill of science, yot,
be recotve more frowns than smiles,
and if the closo of each toilsomo term
brnitfB him anv irrootinffs. thev will he
those that send the hot blood rushing
to his already fovcrcd brow and mak
ing bim long for a rest in the last, long
sorrowlcss sleep ot earth s way-worn
bildron. A his is particularly an ago
ol trial to the dovotod teacher, lor it
is not one ot slow, turt progress, nor is
it all a fit mode to learn a little and
that littlo woll. Said a friend to us,
this is a slip shod age, and we have
mused upon the remark, and though
hardly willing to christen ourago thus,
wo cannot dispute tho fuct of its boing
an cfleminate and pleasure-loving ago.
Ono in which tho midnight vigils of
the patient student is easily dispensed
with, or spent in tho temple ol lashion
and prido. If in any situation perso-
verauoo is eminently necessary, it is
in that of the student ; for be is con
tiniially finding bis best efforts baffled
and only by repeated attempts can be
scale the rugged) cliffs or gain even a
foolhold upon its slippory stoep. Tbe
habit of indomitable perseverance is a
priceless possession in tho student's
lo.
"In dark tnlifortueea dreary hour,
la fortune', prorperoa. g.le,
'Twill have a holy soethieg power,
There', aa traeh word a tail."
There are many incentives to urge
teachers, now especially, to Increased
activity. Tho boly lessons which for
merly have been taught at tho tlresido,
are to a great degree neglected ; and
children, almost before they can know
good from evil, aro sent out to choose
lor themselves the path ol sober fnced
virtue, or tbo sweetly smiling siren
vico of this thore is ample proof in
our streets. Precious boys, who a few
earn since, at their aire, wonlil not
nave boon allowed cut of doors after
ght-fall, and wbo, on Sabbath eve-
ingt were carefully instructed in the
way of the just, now roam about at
all boars of the night, and perpetuate
crimes which more mature knaves
would shrink from doing. If these in-
uenco are not counteracted at home,
bero else may we hope for rcfoim
but in the school roorn, . Prisons, pen
itentiaries, and houses ot correction
may and will perform their vigorous
teachings well, but they cannot touch
the plague at its fountain the heart.
That must be cleansed by the angels
ot kindnoss and love, and with tbcso
the tcachor goes hand in hand.
Bad luck is simply a man with his
hands In his pockets, and a pipe in bis
mouth, looking on to tee how it is
coming out. Good lack it a man ol
pluck, with bia eleovee rolled ap, and
working to make it come out right.
