A LONG SPOUT.— During a recent visit
to Spanogle <fe Co's extensive tannery,
which is now in full operation, we no
ticed the spouting put up at that estab
lishment with patent fastenings, present
ing to view strength and neatness in a
remarkable degree. Although it carries
water a distance of 230 feet, all one way,
it is so completely arranged that it did
not overflow during the heavy rains we
recently had. It reflects much credit on
Mr. J. IRVIN WALLIS, its projector and
manufacturer.
SaU Rittenhouse & McKinney, who
have beeu refitting the old stand on the
corner of the diamond and West Market
Street until they show as neat a store
room as there is in town, chock full too of
uew goods, sent us a specimen of prime
coffee, of excellent flavor, and a piece of
cheese not hard to take, as it is just the
thing to our taste.
John Miller of N. H. or Wayne informs
us that he raised a turnip weighing 9 lbs.
The Black Bear Hotel, we hear, was
Hold last week by Mr. Hample to Jacob
Breneman for $10,500.
Harry M'Coy and a companion passed
our office on Thursday with three fine
pheasants —the result of a few hours hunt
ing across the Big Ridge.
\V. F. Shaw, went hunting for wild
turkeys last week and came home with
three rabbits. That's the general fate of
printers—they seldom get what they go
after, even if it is a gal.
On Thursday morning the mountains
in the Narrows were covered with snow,
being the first that has fallen. Though
fall and winter have been coquetting for
some time, we opine their courting days
are over for 1566.
A large assortment of new goods has
been received this week by Grove, among
which are Christmas Toys, Canned Fruit,
Citron, Tally, Prunes, &e. Also, some
good eider for mince pies.
Mount Rock Mills will continue for sale
for a short time. It is one of the best
flouring mills in the county, as its town
custom attests. For further information
inquire at the Gazette office.
James Lilley, of Third street, cut his
left thumb through the nail in the begin
ning of last week while splitting wood. —
Like many others, he had a bad fashion
of holding a sawed stick with one hand
and using the axe with the other.
David M. Zook, of Menno, sends us two
turnips weighing respectively 5} and 51
pounds, and C\ C. Hoover of Perry one
weighing lbs. The crop generally is
large, and they have l>een selling from
wagons on the streets at 25 cents per bush
el.
Edward Callahan had a severe fall on
the river bridge on Friday last, his head
striking the comer of a heavy piece of
square timber, which cut an ugly gash.
He was taken home, and under Dr. Wor
rell's care is doing well.
A party of four, among them Drs. Ham
ilton and Belford, who were encamped
for several days in the neighborhood of
the big liill above Tyrone, returned last
Friday with two deer. They saw about
fifty, but could seldom get a shot, the an
imals becoming more wary every day in
consequence of the number of hunters out.
The stable attached to Hutton's tavern
stand (formerly Coplin's) at Milroy, was
destroyed by fire on Wednesday evening
of last week, together with a quantity of
hay. <fec. But for the favorable evening
the tavern stand could not have been
saved ; as it was, the citizens labored hard
to preserve the adjacent buildings, a large
quantity of wood, wagons, buggy, harness,
A The fire is supposed to have origina
ted from a light used by a colored woman,
who went in to get coal, but she alleges
she saw a man in the stable. Loss prob

The summoning of the railroad conduc
tors t> Harrisburg was caused it seems by
a detective who had been prying into
their doings for some time. From what
we can learn, he must have been over
zealous to find fault, but few charges hav
ing l>een sulwtantiated, while in others
they must have l>een imaginary, as report
has it that in one case at least he made
charges against a conductor who was not
•>n duty! It is due to the conductors to
say that most of them with whom we
have traveled were gentlemanly in their
dejK>rtinent towards passengers of all
classes, or if any occasionally appeared
crusty, it was more likely owing to de
j'ri s.M-,1 spirits or ill health—to which hu
man nature subjects all —than to any de
" 'u to do wrong. 80 far we believe but
0 • . Mr. Gil>son, has been arrested on the
charge of embezzlement.
A correspondent iu Bratton township
furnishes us with an account of a case of
seduction and attempted poisoning, in
volving the names of several parties, but
which, as it is properly a case for judicial
investigation, we refrain from making
known. The principal who figures in it
ntther notorious, having been charged
with several offenses, and the girl only
a! ">ut fourteen years of age. The charge
if that he procured poison, and with the
'onnivance of others had it conveyed to
her, hut that she was prevented from
'king it by her friends. Subsequently
is alleged he clandestinely got into her
r >oin when she was sick, and tried to
force her to take a dose, hut her serenms
-'•""Used her friends, when he made his
fcficape and left the county. Our infor
"lHUt further state* that the miscreant
; has since assumed another name, under
j which he wrote to a female friend of his,

NEW .JJOODS.— The public will please
take notice that Hamilton's Store has
been replenished with a new stock of

Proceedings of Teachers" Con
tention.
The MifHin County Teachers' Associ
ation, met in the Court House, at Lewis
town, on Monday, Nov. 19, and continued
in session during the week. At least
seventy teachers were in attendance, every
district in the county being represented.
Instruction was given in elocution, by
Prof. Mark Bailey; in orthoepy and spel
hng, by W. W. Woodruff, Esq.; iu Arith
metic, by Prof. E. Brooks; and in pen
manship, by A. 8. Manson, Esq. In
addition to these exercises, reports were
read upon practical educational questions,
some of which were followed by interest
[ ing discussions.
Prof. Bailey's lectures and readings at
tracted large and intelligent audiences and
were received with much favor. His in
structions in reading during the day ses
sions were based, not upon an arbitrary
system of elocution blocked out to suit the
notions of some teachers of the art, hut
were founded upon a close observance of
the laws of natural expression, and hence
were eminently practical.
The instructions in orthoepy and the
spelling lessons given by Mr. Woodruff*,
were new and instructive features of the
institute. The teachers present were form
ed into a spelling class and .500 words were
sailed, the four best spellers receiving
prizes. Mary MeCord, Adelia E. Thomas
and Kate E. Gwinn, all of Lewistown, re
ceived the first, second and third premi
ums ; the first being Worcester's Una
bridged Dictionary, the second, Lossing's
Illustrated United States History, and the
third Worcester's Comprehensive Dic
tionary. Mr. W. C. MeGlenahen, of
Locke's Mills, received the fourth premi
um, consist ing of Worcester's School Dic
tionary. These spelling exercises w#re
interesting and were engaged in loth by
teacher* and citizens.
Prof. Brooks explained in a very interest
ing manner the metric system of weights
and measures recently authorized by Con
gress, and gave a clear exposition of arith
metical language.
On Friday evening, Hon. J. P. Wiek
ersham, 'State Superintendent, delivered
an able, eloquent and stirring address on
the " Educational Needs of the Htate."—
Among these needs as stated were, a
lengthening of the minimum school term,
an increase of the State appropriation, a
more efficient grading of schools in town
and country, the education of public sen
timent, and a closer school supervision by
means of a local superintendent for every
twenty schools whose duty it shall lie to
spend one day every month in each school.
It is not the intention of the school de
partment to push all these measures im
mediately through the Legislature, but to
call the attention of the people to them
and secure such action from the Legisla
ture as may le practicable. *
The Mendelssohn Association enliven
ed the evening sessions of the institute
with excellent vocal music.
At the close of Mr. Wiekersham's lec
ture J. K. Hartzler, chairman of the com
mittee, read the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That our thanks are due to
those citizens of Lewistown who have ex
tended their hospitality to members of
this institute, to the County Commission
ers for the use of the Court House, to A.
S. Manson, Esq., W. W. Woodruff, Esq,,
Prof. Edward Brooks and Hon. James P.
Wickersham for their lectures, and to the
Mendelssohn Association for the excellent
vocal music with which they have so gen
erously favored us.
Resolved, That the lectures on elocution
and the readings given by Prof. Bailey
have been characterized by so much sim
plicity, originality and naturalness as to
merit our hearty admiration ; that we feel
encouraged and honored by the presence
of this distinguished educator and by his
deep interest in the improvement of pub
lic schools.
On Saturday morning, in view of the
editorial which appeared in this week's
Gazette concerning the educational col
umn, Mr. Hartzler offered the following
resolution, which, after an interesting dis
cussion participated in by Mr. Wicker
sham, Col. McFarland, Mr. Mohler, Mr.
Uttley and others, was unanimously
adopted:
Rmolvcd, That we cheerfully accept the
strictures contained in the article entitled
"The Educational Department," in this
week's Lewistown Gazette, and we here
by return our thanks for the favor done
us in the past by Messrs. G. & G. It. Fry
singer, and we ho|H* that short, pointed
and interesting articles, adapted to keep
alive and foster a healthy interest in our
educational affairs will 'be prepared by
teachers and others and be published from
time to time.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, W. C. Mc-
Clenahen; Vice Presidents, B. S. Hen

reason why the
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at Waltham, Massachusetts
IS THE BEST.
It is made on the best principle. Its frame is com
posed of SOLID PLATM. NO jar can interfere with the
harmony of its working and no sudden shock can
damage its machinery. Every piece is made and
finished by machinery (itself famous for its novelty,
as well as for its effectiveness) and is therefore prop
erly made. The watch is what all mechanism should
be—ACCURATE, SIMPLE,STRONG AND ECONOM
ICAL. Except some high grades, too costly for gen
eral use, foreign watches are cniefly made by women
and boys. Such watches are composed of several
huudred pieces, screwed and riveted together, and
require constant repairs to keep them in any kind of
order. All persons who have carried "ancres," "le
pines and "English Patent Levers," are perfectly
well aware of the truth of this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than ten
years ago, it was our first object to make a thorough
ly good low priced watch for the million, to take the
place of these foreign impositions; the refuse of for
eign factories, which were entirely unsaleable at
home and perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this, mav be un
derstood from the fact that after so many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN H ALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED
SI ATE-S, and that no others have ever given such
universal satisfaction. While this department of our
business is continued with increased facilities for
perfect work, we are at present engaged in the man
nfaeture of watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE
KNOWN TO CHRONOMETRY, unequaled bv any
thing hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed
by anything made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an ad
dition to our main building expressly for this branch
of our business, and have filled it with the hest work
men in our service. New machines and appliances
have been constructed which perform their work
with consummate delicacy and exactness. The
choicest and most approved materials only are used
and we challenge comparison between this grade of
■>ur work and the finest imported chronometers. We
do not pretend to sell our watches for LESS MONEY than
(••reign watches, but we do assert without fear of con
tradiction that for the SAME MONEY our product is in
comparatively superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warrantee is
good at all times against us or our agents in all parts
of the world.
CAUTION.—The public are cautioned to buy only
o! respectable dealers. All persons selling counter
feits will be prosecuted.

BEST STRENGTHENING PLASTER IN THE

ALLCOCK S POROUS PLASTERS resolve and as
suage pain by calling forth the acrid humors from
parts internal to the skin and general circulation—
thus, in many cases, positively evaporating the dis
ease. JAMES LULL, M. D.
There is nothing equal, in the way of a plaster, to
the Porous Plaster of Mr. ALLCOCK. Everything is
pleasant about thein. They are the plaster of the day,
and a fit type of our present advancement in science
and art. In Asthma, Cough, Kidney Affections, Gout,
Rheumatism, and local deep-seated pains, they afford
permanent relief.
J. F. JOHNSON, M. IX, on 'Topical Remedies.'
From personal knowledge of thepe plasters, we can
state that they are decidedly preferable to any other
in use. Wherever relief is to be obtained by tne use
of a plaster, we should recommend them.

JaB6 ,Tt tlm dnff'" x liable cure for diseases of

the most speedy and agreeable remedy that ean be
employed. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found
where well known cases of diseased iungs, which had
baffled the efforts of the most skillful aud experienc

results are the most convincing proof* of the superi
or curative properties of this preparation: and to
them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction -
While it is most powerful against confirmed diseases,
it is extremely gentle as a medicine in infancy and
youth, being quite harmless to even the youngest,
"when administered judiciously.
This health-restorer accomplishes even more by
prevention than cure. If taken in season, it heals all
irritations of the throat and lungs, whether arising
from Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus
prevent that long train of painful and incurable dis
eases, which would arise from the neglect of thetn.
Hence no fajn'ly should be without it. Influenia.

free gift to their patrons, as the Engravings are fur
nished them below their market value, and as the coat
i of engravings, after the plates are procured, is very
! trifling, they can easily afford to make the distribution
j large as it is.
We trust that our numerous friends throughout the
! country and t'anadas will use their utmost exertions,
! so that if possible, the distribution may be made soon,
and it can be done if they are atail'active. Ladies
have often made excellent club agents for us, and we
solicit their kind efforts, which will not go unreward
ed. Let one or more energetic persons in everytown
and village in the country commence as soon as they
see this, Hnd get up as large a club as possible. By so
doing they will be the means of introducing elegant
engravings into fannies, and thus aid in cultivating a
taste for the beautiful and refined.
