Till BKNATOR'S GRAND CONSTITUTIONAL
KPEECU AT COLUMI1U8 HOW THE DE

TION8 OF THE DAY SOME RADI
CAL 8LANDEII8.
Senator Tlmrman inurked his active
entrance into tho Ohio campaign by
opecch delivered at Cincinnati on tho
Ctb inst., in tho presence ut an audience
such as lew Ohio cilios, outsido of it
could furnioh. The diBtinguiBhed Sen
ator appeared to be In the host of
health and spirits, liis speech was
almost entirely a constitutional ori;u
inent, and as u plea in defeiiBo of the
Democrutio jiosititn on tho roigning
issues ol tho day, was simply superb.
Tho address was received with un
bounded t'lithusiuBin. Tho Senator,
after being Introduced to the largo au
dience by lion. Fiank ilcKinney,
Chuirnian ol tho Democrutio Execu
tive Committee, spoko substantially as
follows :
Mil. President and Fellow-Citi
zens: The persistont efforts of the
Kadicul leaders to destroy tho plainest
rights ot tho Slutes and of tho people.
and thereby to overthrow local self
government in tlie United Suites, will
justify me in asking your attention to-
mglu to some observations that have
been repeated a thousand times, and
hnvo therefoio no charm of novelty to
recommend them, but which cannot
bo repeated too frequently if wo
would preserve our system of govern
ment and the liberties of the people.
Jow, my menus, let us consider lor
a moment wbatisoursystom of govern
ment ana men turiner consider wnut
would be the result of overthrowing
local Rolf-government and consolidat
ing all power in tho hands of the gen
oral Government. Wn hnvo in thie
country two gufcrnmenls the red
oral or National Govern meiit, which
ever term you prefer, deriving all its
powers from the Constitution of tho
United States; and tho State Govern
ments, deriving all their powers from
the .Su to Constitutions. The naluro
of this system was expressed with ad
mirable brovity by Chief Justico Mar
shall delivering the unanimous opinion
ot the Supreme Court of the United
States in McColloou vs. the State ot
Maryland, 4 Wbeaton, 410. 11 0 said :
"In America tho powers of sovereign
ty aro divided between the bovern
ment of the Union, and those of tbe
States. Tbey aro each sovereign with
respect to the objects committed to it,
but neither sovereign with respect to
tbo objects committed to the other."
In tbe same opinion, page 4U0, speaK-
ing ol the general Government, ho
said :
"This Government is acknowledged
by nil to be one of enumerated pow
ers. rno principle, mai n can exer
cise only the powois granted to it,
would seem too apparent to navo re
quired to bo enforced by all those ar
guments wmcn its enugntencu irienus,
while it was depending betoro the peo
ple, found it necessary to urge. The
principle is now universally admitted.
But the quostion respecting tho extent
of tbe powers actually granted, is per
petually arising, and will probably
continue to arise, as long as our sys-
tem shall exist."
It Texas vs. W hito, 7 Wallace, 725,
Chief Justico Chase, delivering the
opinion ot tho Supreme Court, said :
"But the perpetuity and indissolubility
of tho Union by 110 means implies tho
loss of distinct and individual exist-
enco or of tho right of self government
by the States. Under tbo articles of
confederation, cat h Stato rolained its
sovereignly, freedom and Independ
ence, and every power, jurisdiction and
right not cxprcBsly delegated to the
United States. And we liave already
had oecusion to remark at this term
that 'tbo pcoplo of each Stato compose
a Stato having its own government,
and endowed with all tho functions es
sential to scparato and independent
existence, and that 'without the Stales
in Union, there could bo no such po
litical body as the United Slates 1 biol
only, tborefore can thero bo no loss of
separate and independent autonomy to
tho States through their union under
tho Constitution, but it inny not bo un
reasonably said that the preservation
of tho Slutes, and the maintenance of
their Governments, aro as much with
in tho design and caro of the Constitu
tion as the preservation 01 mo union
and tbe matntennnce ol tho National
Government. The Constitution in all
its provisions, looks lo an indestructi
ble Union composed of Indostriiclible
Statos."
You thus see. mv friends, that ao-
conling to tho highest authority, the
rights ol the stales aro as luaosinicu
blo, if our system of Government be
nrcsorved. as are tho rights of the Fed
eral Government ; thai tho on is just
as sacred as tbe other; and that he
who as.iails the plain rigbta of the
Slates is iust a much an enemy ol our
system ol free institutions aa is he who
assails the ust power 01 ine reuurai
Government.
Now. mark it. mv Iricnds, tho doo-
trine of Slates riuhts. or. In ether
words, local self-government, for which
the Domocracv contend, is wholly dif
ferent from tho doctrines of nullifica
tion of scoession. Tbe Democracy of
the North never believed in either of
those doctrines. They never believed
in tho right of nullification or of secos .
sion. One great cause that endanger
ed tho Union (slavery) haa ceased to
exist. To re-establish it is a manifest
impossibility. jNo man, North or Sonlh,
imagines that it could bo re establish
ed. Tbo Southorn people would be
among lb first and the most earnest
to oppoeo aucb a measure. Their po
litical power is largely Inoreaacd by
the emancipation ol tha negro, and
thoy are fast coming to the conclusion
that their material prosperity is like-
I ' Improved by his mancipation.
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
It is not thurofore, a fear of eccoanion,
or of the ro-establishmont of slavery.
that prompts the Radical leaders to
degrade and dubase the States. Tbo
causo lies fur doepor than that. It
grows out of tho long and novor end
ing effort of consolidated capital, seek
ing spocial privileges by means of leg
islation ; privileges that tho mass of
tho people do not enjoy. Tho holder
of Government bonds dosircs a Btrong
National Government, in the belief
that But h a Government would give
greater security and value to his bonds.
The mammoth railroad corporation,
running through many Statos,, foils
rostivo under what it considers the
annoyances of Stato legislation. It
would greatly prefer to State charters
or State licuiiBoB, a Nalioiful charter
rendering it independent of tho Slates.
1 no national bank interest, with its
two thousand and odd banks, destined,
if tho BVBteni continue, to bo tripled
or quadrupled in number in no long
poriod of limo, looks with complaconcy
on the legislation of Congress that has
destioyod tho banking institutions of
the Slutos and given to tho National
Bystom n monopoly of tbo issue and
profits of bank paper money. The
high tariff protectionists and the seek
ers of subsidies alike dosiro a Govern
ment of almost unlimited power to
gratify their wishes and foster their
schemes. In a word, almost or quite
ovcry lorm ol concentrated wcullh, ex
cept real estate, desires, by construc
tion orothcrwiso, to add new powers
to tho already tremcndoiiB powers pos
sessed by tho National Government.
THE ARMY AT THE POLLS.
My friends, I have said that the
purpose of the Radical leaders to over
throw local self government is shown,
among other things, by numerous acts
ol Congress. To spealt of these acts
in detail would require nolono speech,
but many. 1 cannot, thoreforc, under
take Unit task to night. But there
aro somo laws to which 1 must ask
your attention, not only because of
their deep reaching effects, but also
because they wore prominently brought
under consideration at the Inst two
sessions of Congress, and are among
tho most prominent issues now before
the people. And first let mo say a
few words about the law enacted in
Kcbruiiry, 1865, authorizing tho uso of
the army of the United Suites to keep
the peace at tho polls. When thut
law was enacted, tho Government of
too United States bad been in exist
ence for moro than throe-quarters of a
century. We had paBsod through two
wars with foreign countries, and thro'
a civil war of lour years duration, and
almost unequaled in magnitude in tbo
annals of mankind ; and yet, during
all this period, nearly seventy-six
years, neither in peace nor in war bad
it been aocmcd proper, or even admis
sible, by our law-makers, to use the
standing army of tho United States to
intorforo in any manner in tho elec
tions of the people. But when, in 1865,
1- - t. J.n.l In. Jam. ....frs I rl In ftl-oi-
throw tbe civil government in the
South, and to divide that portion ot
tbe Kepublio into military depart
ments, to bo ruled by five Generals of
tho arm)', and to permit no elections,
unless sanctioned by thoso Generals
and supervised by them, then this law
authorizing the use of the army at the
polls was first enacted. How it was
executed is now a matter ot history.
The only effects of the law is to ena-
bio the President to overawo the peo
ple who aro opposed to bis administra
tion, it makes tue army an instru
ment of party instead of being what it
ought to bo, and what, Constitutional
ly, it can only 00, me army 01 ine
wholo United States. It is a law not
only repugnant to liberty, but greatly
injurious to luo army useii. 1 navo
never heard an officer of the army
speak of it except to dcploro its exist
ence. Now. mv friends, the Democracy,
at the last session of Congress, did all
that was in their power to repeal the
statutory provisions authorizing tbo
use of tho army at the polls. For that
purpose, wo passed bill after bill, but
they wore successfully veioon oy mo
President and thereby defeated. Tho
Gonoral Appropriation bill for ihe sup
port of tho army was thus vetoed, tho
President, by defeating it, declaring in
efToct, that ho would let tho aimy go
without support, rather than loso mo
right to uso it at tho times and places
of elections. Thus thwarted, by an
paralleled cxerciso of tho ono mon
power, wo had nothing left for us lo
do but lo withhold appropriations from
the armv tcAen vsrd at the polls. But
this remedy is, in its nature, but tem
porary, and may bo too easily evaded
by a hostile I'ixecutivo 10 do securely
relied upon. Nothing short of a re
neol of tho obnoxious provision will
suffice, and tho question whether it
shall be repealed is one of tho great
questions to be decided by tho people.
This issue is clearly mado ana snarpiy
defined. Tho Republicans in Congress,
as well as the President, aro opposed
lo the repeal, as their speeches and
rocorded votes amply show, The Dem
ocrats and Nationals are to a man In
favor of tho repeal. What say yon?
If vou aro tired of freedom and wis!)
tho ballot box to bo interlercd with by
tho bayonet, voto"to keep the law upon
tho Statute Book. But if you still
choriBh your liberties, and whin to cast
a free and nnlrammeiea vote, nnawea
by military force, vole to repeal it.
NATURALIZATION AND ELECTION LAWS.
Under this caption, Senator Thur
man then tirocccdod to speak. Ho bo-
gan to givo a history of tha efforts of
tho Domocratio parly, stnee Us organ
nation, to conserve the rights of natn
rained votors, and to resent Federalist
and Radical attempts to overthrow
them, tbo Alien and Sedition laws be-
ins Quoted as an example. Ho then
wont on to say :
When the Republican party after
the first election of President Oram
had lha most absolute control of the
Government that any party over pos
sessed the President being a iiepuo
lican. nearly all Iho Judges of the S11
prcmo and the other Federal courts
being llepubiicans, more man aia
sevenths of the Senator! being Repub
licans and over two-thirds of the House
of Representatives being of the same
party lha Radical loidera coneoived
it possible to once mora assail the
rigbta of lbs naturalized citizen, This
lima tha attack waa made under the
guiso of preserving the parity of elec
tions. The object was to bring all
elecliona under tha control of Con
o-rosaional law and Fedoral ofilcers,
and to use tbe whole power of the
Federal Gotornmont and ita Treasury,
too, to maintain tha ascendancy of the
IfVpoblican party. They began by
tbe Introduction of a bill professedly
tn enforce tbo provisions of tbe fif
teenth article of amendmont to the
Constitution and that bill, originally
introdnoed in tba House, after being
groatly amended and enlarged, was
passed by both House and approved

ot citizens of the United States to volo

no less than twenty-throo sections. 1

eral way that It assumes to control the

Cincinnati and Cleveland. My princi
pal object 10 referring to tho statute
at all is to show the purpose of the
nadicai leaders to Interfere by Con
gressional laws and Federal officers in
Iho elections of tbo Slates. Having
passed this act, tho Radical leaders
next turned their attention to tho sub
ject of .naturalization. Tbey pasBod
through tho llouseof Representatives,
at the same session, a bill, No. 2,201
to amend the naturalization laws and
to punish crime against tho same.
Having lailed to destroy naturaliza
tion by tbo bill to which 1 have refer
red, thoy now seek, by a corrupt and
tyrannical elocution of the eleclion
laws, to throw ovory possiblo obstacle
in the way of the naturalized citizen's
right to vote. Tho purposo to thus
uso election laws disclosed itself tho
moment tbo substitute bill of which I
havo spoken was defeated. That, as
I have said, was proposed as an amend
ment to the llouso bill. Aa soon as it
was voted down, tho Senator who had
thp bill tn charge, moved two addition
al sections to it, one providing for
supervisors of olections, and the
the olbor providing as follows: "And
be it further enacted, that in any city
having upward of twenty thousand in
habitants, it shall be lawful for the
Marshal ot tho United States for tbo
district where such city shall be, to
appoint as many special deputies as
may be nocessary to preserve order at
any election at which Representatives
n Congress are to be chosen : and said
deputies aro hereby authorized to lire-
order at such elections, anil to
iui any oiietise 01 uicucil ol too
pcoco committed in their view."
The bill, thus Emended, passed both
Houses, and was approved by tho Prcs
ident J uly 14, 1876. This bill was tbe
entering wedge- for the enaotmont of
tho voluminous Congressional oloo
lion lawa that have since boon passed.
It introduced the United States Depu
ty Marshals upon the scone under the
pretense of preserving order at Iho
elections, bat it stopped far short ot
the powers conferred upon them by
the subsequent acts to which I will
Bhortly refer.
At tho next session ot Congress tbo
Radical leaders returned to the charge,
and by tho act approved February 28,
1S7I, containing twenty soctions, sot
up tho vast machinery of Federal in
terference in the elections of the people
that now exists. The tremendeous
powors conferred by this law upon
thoso officers Supervisors, Marshals
and special deputies cannot bo under
stood without a reference to tho entire
statiilo and tho multitudo of offenses
that it creates. It interferes with tho
registration of voters and with the
election, and undertalics to punish tho
Stato Registrars and tho Si me Judges
of election for numerous offenses de
clared by tbe act, and in some instances
to require them, under pains and pen
alties, to disregard the Stato law
they swear to support. And it places
every one of these State officers at the
mercy ot the irresponsible deputies ap
pointed by tho Fedoral Marshals, and
who, according to exporienco we havo
Lad of tho act, have generally boen
men of the basest and most degradod
characters that could be found ; men
who havo served teima in tho pen
itentiary ; men who wore notorious
thieves; men who kept bouses of in
famous resort ; in a word, tho most
dcspieablo characters that could bo
raked up in the great cities of Now
York and I'hiladelpbia, or elsewhere.
To these wretches is given the powor
to tear tho judges of election from their
scats by an arrest without warrant, to
arrest any, tho most respectablo voter
in tbe city, and thcrcjiy prevent him
from exercising his right ol suffiago,
and to terrify wholo bodios of voters
by threats or arrant etaid by outrigiil
violence. This is no overdrawn pio
inre. It is not drawn strongly enough.
RESUMPTION.
Tho Republican speakers and Re
publican pross aro crowing lustily
about what they call the resumption
ot spoeio payments. Behold, say thoy,
wo are on tho eve of prosperity, re
sumption brought this about and wo
brought about resumption ; ergo, you
should all support the Republican par
ty. My Ilionos, it requires no great
powers of analysis to explode this
Bophistry.

Our so-called apeela payments, there-
lore, are no specie payments at an
REPUBLICAN.
Neither individuals, banks nor the Gov
ornmcnt, muko paymcnta in specie.
liut, while we have no specie pay
ments, accurately speaking, I admit
thut our paper money has been brought
to a par wilh specie. Of tho sacrifices

all values, tbo paralysis ot all nidus

amounting to hundreds of millions ol
dollars, 1 shall not speuk to-night It
there is any ono who thinks that wo
havo not paid very dearly for tbe
whistle, 1 will not, to-night attempt to
disturb his belief. But when the Seo-
rotary of the Treasury perambulates
too country, boasting ot tbe achieve
ment of bringing greenbacks to par
with coin, it is not improper to point
io mm iho graveyards through which
wo have passed in our dreary march
to this result. And whon ho claims
that consummation was brought about
by the resumption act, and his exocu
Hon of it, it is eminently proper to
show him how baseless is his claim,
bow hollow is bis pretension.
There are various causes that have
operated to bring our papor money to
a par with specie and umong them the
resumption act is the least. Had that
act never been passed, and had -Congress
authorized what theSocrolary ol
Iho Treasury, withoutauthorily of law,
now permits, tbo receipt of greenbacks
in payment of customs duty, thoy
would have boen at par with specie a
year at least before tho lime fixed for
resumption by tho resumption act.
When tho act was before the Senate, I
moved an amendment providing for
the receipt of greenbacks in paymont
ot custom duties. Tbe Kupubiioans
voted it down. I have said that had
the resumption act never boon passed.
greenbacks would havo reached a par
with coin. It would have never been
through great suffering aggravated by
that act, but it certainly would have
come.
About every two years wo havo a
commercial revulBion which, forbrov.
ity's sake, wo call a panic ; when tho
country wakes up to the fact that, ow
ing to an important oxtension of credit
or bad legislation, or both, it is not
able to pay its debts on demand. A
long period of suffering, generally fivo
or six years, ensues, and then, having
reached the bottom, any chango must
necessarily be for tho better, and then
business begins to rovivo. Specie pay
ments are resumed, as it Is called, that
is, paper money and specie come to
par. Jl is not tbis resumption, bo call
ed, that produces a revival ol business,
but it is tho revival ot business that
produces the resumption.
But another cause has largely con
tributed to our so-called resumption,
and lor this cause our Republican rul
ers can certainly claim no credit.
Owing to bountiful crops in America
aitd short crops in Europe for three
years, the balance of trade, instead of
ing shipped, in large amounts, to this
country to pay for bread.
Anolher cause that has facilitated
tbe equalization of papor and coin, was
the Democrutio measures ol romone
lizing silvor, which Prestdent Hayes
vetoed, but which we passed over his
veto.
Still another causo, was the Demo
cratic bill that put an end to the de
struction of tbe groenback. For with
out tho groonback in existence, neither
Secretary Sherman nor the National
banks would bave tbe audacity to pre
tend that thoy could maintain actual
specie payments, in a word, my
Inends, tbe claim ot the iladical lead
ers, toyoursupporton the ground that
tbey bave brought about prosperity
to tho country by a resumption of
specie payments, is a bold pretense,
without any foundation in tact, and
that can decoivo none but those who
are ignorant or thoso who wish to be
docoived.
In conclusion, upon this sub oct, let
me sav that thoy who chargo us with
a purpose to undo what has boon dono,
and to plunge the country into a wuu
career of inflation, do us tbe greatest
injustice. However much wo deplore
tho suffering that bas oeon caused oy
Radical measures, and especially by
the contraction of tho currency, wo
havo no purpose to embark upon a
career of wild and sensoless specula
tion. Thero novcr was a platform
adopted by a political party in Amori
ca that insisted so strongly upon a
staple currency as doos the platform of
the Uhio Uemocracy. lo mat plat
form wo ean safely point for a complelo
refutation of the false accusations of
our enemies.

JiOIV TO PRESERVE CIDER.
A pure, sweet cider is only attains
ble from clean, sound fruit, and tho
fruit should therefore bo carofully ex
amined and wiped before grinding.
In the pross uso hair cloth or gunny
in piaco ot straw, as the ciaer runs
Irom tho pross let it pass through a
hair soive into a large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can bo ex
pressed in one day. In one duy, or
sometimes less the pomice will rise to
tbo top, ana in a short time grow very
thick. When little white bubblos
break through It draw off tbe liquid
through a very small spigot, placed
about three Inches Irom the bottom so
that the loss may be left behind. Tb(
cider must be drawn off into vory clean
sweet casks, preferably fresh liquor
casks, and closely watched. The mo
ment tho whito bubbles, before men
tioned, are perceived rising at tbo
bungbole, rock it again. It is usually
necessary to repeat this three timos.
Then fill up the cask with cider in
evory respect like that originally con
tained in it; add a tumbler ot warm
sweet oil, and bung up tight For very
fine cider it is customary to add at this
stato of the process about half a pound
of glucose (starch sugar), or a smaller
portion of whito sugar. The cask
should then bo allowed to remain in a
cool place until the cider has acquired
the desired flavor. In the meantime
clean barrels for its reception Bhould
be prepared as follows : Some clean
stripes ol rages are dipped in melted
sulphur, lighted and burned in tho
bunghole, and tbo bung laid loosely on
tbe end of tbe rag so as to retain the
sulphur vapor within tbe barrel. Then
tie up half a pound of mustard sued in
a coarse muslin bag and put it in tbo
barrel witb cidor, add about a quarlor
ol a pound of isinglass, or flno gelatine
dosolved in hot water.
This is the old fushioned way, and
will keep cider in tbo same condition
as when it wont into the barrel, if kept
in a cool place for a year.
Professional cider makers are using
calcium sulphite (sulphite of lime), in
stead of mustard and sulphur vapor.
It is mucb moro convenint ana ellec-
tual. To use it, it is simply requisite
to add one-oightb to one-quarter of an
ounce of the eulphito to each gallon of
cidor in tbo cask ; nrst mixing tbe
powdor in about a quart of cidor, then
pouring it back into tho cask and giv
ing the latter a thorough shaking or
routing. Aftor standing several days
lo allow the sulphite to exert its lull
action it may bo bottled off.
The sulphite ot lime (wbicb should
not bo mistaken for sulphato of limo),
is a commercial article, costing about
forty cents per pound by tbe barrel.
It will preserve the swootnoss of cidoi
perl oct ly, but unloss caro is taken not
to add too much of it, it will impart a
slight sulphurous taste to the cider.
The bottles and corks used should be

drachm or so of bicarbonate of soda at

CHEAP FACTORY ICE.
IT IS MADE IN OEonaiA AT A COST OF
EIGHTY-FIVE CENTS A TON.
The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle
says: "Tho Arctio ice Company aro
now turning out between ten ana
twelve thousand pounds of ice per day,
which they aro under contract to de
liver at hall a cent a pound. Tbe
process employed by tho company is
said to be tho cheapest known lo sci
ence at tbo present day. X ba cost ol
manufacturing ico hero is only oighty
five cents a ton, or about four conls
and a quarlor a hundred pounds. As
it is sold in bulk at ten dollars a ton
the margin ot profit ts nine dollars and
fifteen cents on each two thousand
pounds. This is ahead of California
gold mining. The ice comes out in
bugo blocks, thirty-two inches in length
and twelve inches square. Tboro is
space in tho frocting chest (so to speak)
lor lour hundred and eigniy oi meso
blocks, amounting in weight to thirty
thousand pounds. As it requires seven
ty-two hours, however, from the time
the water is poured into ibo cans until it
is turned out again in solid form, only
one-third of the quantity is produced
daily. It is tbe intcution ot tbe com
pany to doublo tbo cspacity of tho
works in a very short time. T no diocks
tho new cbost will be only six
inches thick, and as they will freeze
much more rapidly than those of
double tho thickness, the daily produc
tion will be correspondingly great.
Tho process by which the freezing
is accomplished requires about fitly
pounds of liquid ammonia to bo stored
in a vory strong iron cylinder, and
this is connected with a coil of pipes
immersed in a tank ol strong brine;
into this galvanised iron cans holding
puro water aro placed, and those cans
are ol me size oi ine oiocas oi ice
which aro formed. The liquid ammo
nia is allowed to flow through these
coils, and it gradually becomes gase
ous, and In becoming so, abstracts
from the water ao much beat that it
speedily freezes. A powerful steam
pump forces ibe gaseous ammonia Daca
into tho iron cylinder again, thus lib
erating great heat, which is disposed
ot by oold water dropping upon the
coils of pips through which the am
monia passes on its way to the con
denser. Tbe process is a continuous
one, and if tbe pumps and coils do not
leak there is no loss, and the opera
tions may go on so long aa tbe ma
chinery lasts.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY M. L McOWN!
OZV THE II'VA'CV.
On Monday morning September 8ih
after driving a distance of eighteen
miles wo reached Bower, the leading
point ol interest in tirocnwooii town
ship, and at which place we held the
first examination of tho fifth week of
our annual tour. Bower is an exam
pie ol educational enterprise. Its peo
ple having, a few years since, erected a
model school bouse, adorning It with
all modern improvements. Tbis house
istboonly oneio theoonntyscated with
individual desks and chairs something
worthy of comment Ton applicants
registered their names, some, however,
having been previously examined, all
of whom signified tbuir intention to
toach if licensod. Pour valid ccrtin
catcs wore issued. A groat interest
was manifested in the examination by
the people of the district, the house
being fillod to overflowing during ibe
attornoon. Tho full board of directors
was present, but adjourned without
making their appointments.
Juestlay. Un Tuesday wo tilled our
appointment for Boll township, at
Trout Dale school house one of tho
most pleasant places in tho count)'.
Tho school and its interests seem to
have a permanent place in the affec
tions ot the people of this community,
and the intelligence and culture of the
society of this section aro evidences ol
tbe utility ol education. Trout Dale
is a romantic and an attractive place
a splendid school house, beautifully lo
cated and neatly furnished. On this
occasion beautiful wreathes woro en
twined about Ibe platfoim, and a rich
boquet embellished the examiner s desk
tbe gift of somo unknown bund.
Tbe class was composed of filtoen
young ladios and gentlemen, and in
point ot attainments, was about tbe
average, all bowevor did not receive a
license to leach. Tbe biga onierlain
ment provided for thoso present, by
Ihe families of Henry and James Mo-
Gee, is deserving of montion, the form
er having provided a bountiful repast
lor ovory weary hungry ono prosont.
The school houBO was orowded upon
tbis occasion, and at tbe close some re
marks were made. A series of resolu
tions were drawn up commendatory of
the kind treatment received by tbe
people, and asking tor an examination
noxt year some place in tho township.
The directors were all present during
the day, but adjourned without ap
pointing their toacbors,
Wednesday. On Wednesday we ex
amined applicants for tho schools ot
Burnsido borough and township, at
Burnside. We admitted fourteen per-
sons to the class, and in the evening
licensed all but one to teach in tbe
county. An unusual interest was man-
ltested in tbe proceedings by me peo
ple from tho township and borough.
Four directors Irom ths township and
ancs during the day. An educational
meeting waa held at the close ot me
examination ; remarks being made by
Mr. Boise, L. M. Milcboll and Prof.
Lovelace. The districts for which this
examination was held are advancing
rapidly in eduoation. Tbe schools are
managed by directors deeply interested
in the welfare oi ths young. Tbey
Eay good aalaries, and employ the
ighoat order of talent in filling their
schools. Tho following teachers wore
omployed for the ensuing year:

Cross Roads Kate Mitchell.
Alfords School Mary Gallagher.
Harmony School Ida NcfT.
Shepherd School H. P. Howitt

Patchinville, Deer Run and East
Ridge, to be supplied.
Friday. Oa Thursday we tarried
at Now 'Washington, but for some reas
on we had no class. On Friday wo
met tbe friends of education in Chest
township, at Mcrhorron. The class
numbered three. Tbe full board of
directors wss present, and some spec
tators. The following appointments
wcro made for tbo coining term :

WoatoverSchool(Now) MissCurry.
McPhorron School Tillio Foltwell.
Four schools of tho township were
not supplied on day of examination,
butwill be filled at a subsequent meeting.
Conclusion. Tbis closod a five wooks
tour of tbe county. There aro many
things connectod with thoBO examina
tions that are pleasant, and which will
linger in momory'a page for many days
to come. Then again, there are things
that aro unpleasant, but which fidelity
to a reuponsibe position demands to
be done. In our relation lo the people
we havo endeavored to license only such
porsons to mould tho tender and im
neriBhahlo mindB of tho young, as in our
opinion wore duly qualified both intel
lectually ana moral ly. in aoing mis
we feel that wo bavo tbo support and
sympathies of all who dosiro to soo our
Common Schools grow in usefulness,
and excellonco. It bas become too
common in our county lor very young
persons who have neither ths requisite
age, experience, or attainments, to seek
Ihe responsible office of teacher. They
ask tor a license to teach school, before
they have spent one-half Ihe tune in
nrvnerino-. that thov would be requir
ed to spend to fit Ihflm lor any other
honorable trade, or profession. X bis
is why tbo Stats Board ot Education
haa taken ths authority to fix tbs
standard, and bas therelbra made it
obligatory upon Superintendents every
where, to drop Irom ths list oi appli
cants, about one third of all who apply
to oorlificatea.
Durins tbe five weeks tbst ws tray.
ailed ws issued two hundred and twen
tr certificates. Last year ws issued
two hundred and eighty-five, and we
feel oonfident that the persons employ
ed in ths schools of tbe eonnty this
year, are persons entirely fitted for
discharging lbs grave duties of tbs
school room, and hence only remains
for the patrons of oar schools to torn
in making ths schools of ths county a
snoeosa. Aid your toachere in every

fit of rood horns training. Place be.

groat difficulty we approached within
a short distance of tbe American Falls,
which darted great jets of wator on us,

HANDLING SHEEP.
There is a right way and a wrong
way, a hard way and an easy way,' an
awkward way and a skillful way, to
catch and handle sheep. A great
many men will catch the sheep by tbe
wool on tho back witb both hands, and
lilt the animal cloar from tbe ground
by tho wool only. Barbarous I Lot
some groat giant grasp you by tbo
hair of yonr head and lift you from
the ground by your hair only 1 Would
you not struggle and squirm worse
than tbe mute sheep docs when lifted
by tho wool? And would there not
bo a complaint of a sore bead tor a
week or two? If yon do not believe it
try tho experiment We have slaught
ered a great many sheep in yoars past,
and when removing the pelts ot such
sheop as bad been handled by ths
wool, we never failed to obsorvo that
beneath the akin wherover the animal
had boen caught by tho wool, blood
had settled. In many instance, the
skin had been separated from the body
so that inflation was apparent We
bave known proprietors of sheep to be
so strict in regard to handling tbcm,
that be would order a helper Irom the
premises if he wore to catch a sheep
by tbo wool on any part of tho body.
Some owners ot sheep direct their
helnorsthua: 'When about to catch
a sheop, move carefully toward the one
to bo taken, until you are suiucientiy
near to spring quickly end seize the
beast by the neck with both hands,
then pass one band around tho body,
grasp the brisket, and lift tho sheep
clear from the ground. The wool must
not be pulled. If tho sheep is a heavy
one, let ono hand and wrist be put
around tho neck and tho arm pressed
against tho leg.' Wo have always
handled sheep in the way alluded to.
We never srnsn the wool, diners
seize the sheep by the hind log, then
throw one arm around the body and
lake hold of the brisket wilh one band.
lint ewes wilh lambs should never be
caught by the bind logs, unless they
are bandied wilh exlremecara. When
sheep are handled roughly, especially
il Ibeir wool is pulled, ths small bruises
and injuries will render them mora
weld and more difficult ti bandlo
