The differ ent schools will meet in the Presbyterian lecture room this (Wednesday) evening at 6 o'clock, to practice music for the oc casion. Tora Legal Tender and National Notes. — It does not seem to he generally known tliat these notes, when torn, are not re deemed in full. The scale adopted divides the note into 2!) parts, consequently if one-twentieth is torn from a $5 note the loss to the holder would be 50 cents, and so with all other denominations. We saw two one dollar notes the other i iy, one of which was worth only eighty five cents, and the other ninety. The same rule applies to postal currency. Strange Spectacle. —The mountain on the south side of the Juniata, a few miles be low town, on Wednesday evening last presented the singular spectacle of being two-thirds covered with snow while the timber was on fire. It originated at the water station at Bixler's Gap, where freight trains are in the habit of empty ing their asli pans, a proceeding which ought to be executed with more care or a watchman stationed there to guard against such conflagrations. We have often seen ties burning near that spot, and should not be surprised some day to chronicle an accident to a passenger train from such •cause. The question may also arise whether the Ilailroad is not liable for all injury sustained from these fires, several of which, originating at that spot, have wept over thousands of acress of wood land. It is certainly the business of some officer connected with the road to see to this matter, and ordinary prudence it seems to us would dictate a remedy.

Dry Times—No Liquor to be Had— The action of the court in postponing the li cense applications to the 7th May, has closed all the liquor establishments in the county, and any one now selling that ar ticle, or lurnishing it to persons of intem perate habits, will do it at the peril of the law. 1 hose disposed to make a trial \> hether they can dispense with the arti cle, and thus keep sober, have now a fair opportunity of doing so, the " Maine law'' to all intents and purposes being in full force for the time being. Well, as it is hard to he got, let every toper go to work, and the moment lie begins to feel dry drink a tumbler ot water and eat a cracker or biscuit with it. He can repeat this dose as often as he chooses, and by bed time still feel "bully." No drink, no drunk! No liquor, no lickher! Kein lager, kein beer, der Teufel isht liier!

IMPORTANT ARBITRATION. —The case of sundry persons against the Pennsylvn ' nia Railroad Company, for comjensation for damages resulting from the fall of the depot platform at Johnstown on the 14th September last, was arbitrated in Johns town two weeks ago. Messrs. John Scott, of Huntingdon, and C. L. Pershing, of Johnstown, represented the Railroad Co., and Messrs, R. L. Johnston, of Ebetis burg, A. Kopelin and I). M'Laughlin, of Johnstown, the plaintiffs. The arbitra tors were Messrs. G. W. Osborne, of Johnstown, J. A. Blair and H. Kinkead, of Ebensburg. The hearing the case oc cupied from Tuesday till Friday. TheAl leghanian says the arbitrators awarded Mr. Daniel M'Pike $4,300 damages, and I Mr. Pius King SB,OOO. B*sL.The Cincinnatiexpresseast), which left Pittsburgh at eleven a. ni., on Sunday, was thrown from the track near Wall Sta tion, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The engine, tender, express, and two baggage cars were badly wrecked. Martin Brock en, of Pittsburgh, brakeman, had his thigh severely fractured, and was also injured internally. His recovery is doubtful. Pe ter McCauly, of Latrobe, Pa., was injured i.i tiie foot. Robert H. Kerr, of Latrobe, the engineer of the train, was scalded and internally injured. Win. Wilhelm, of Philadelphia, baggage master, was some what injured. Xone of the passengers were hurt. The wreck was (caused by live cross-ties and a rail being placed across the track. A suspicious looking man was seen in a meadow near by, and was arrested, when lie confessed to hav ing placed the obstructions on the track, but declines to answer any questions, or to give his name. The unusual sight of a wood train car rying cord wood to Freedom Iron Works is now occasionally seen. The wood we lielieve is procured in the neighborhood of Anderson's Station, and will be con verted into charcoal at the works. Rouse's Theatrical Company gave three exhibitions in the Town Hall last week, the last night to a full house. Banchard and bis performing dogs have been lately added to this establishment, and elicited repeated applause in their several parts. Our readers will regret to learn that Henry and Win. T. M'Kinney, sons of Major McKinney, late of Reedsville, now of Lewistown, lost nearly their entire stock of dry goods, Ac., by a disastrous tire at Earlville, Lasalle county, Illinois, a few weeks ago. Twenty-nine stores and dwellings, comprising the business por tion of the town, were destroyed. &5U Grove has received a lot of Mack erel, White Fish, Lake and Labrador Herring, &e., &c., which lie will sell very cheap or takeeountryproducein exchange. For Shoulders, Hams and Sides he will pay the highest cash price. He has the cheapest Sugar and Cotfee in town. Also, a fresh lot of Dates and Garden Seeds. Country merchants furnished with Cream of Tartar lower than city rates. You can not fail to buy cheap of Grove. Cigar Boxes.— As many business men are subjecting themselves to a heavy pen alty by their ignorant violation of the thirty-second section of the revenue law passed at the close of the Thirty-ninth Congress, it is stated, for the information of all concerned, that the section in ques tion enacts — " That any person who shall sell, give away or otherwise dispose of any cigar box or boxes which have Been stamped, without lirst defacing or destroying such stamp, shall, on conviction of either of fense, be liable to a penalty of one hun dred dollars or to imprisonment not ex ceeding sixty days, or both, in the discre tion of the court, with the, costs of the tri al ; and it shall bo lawful for any cigar in spector or revenue officer to destroy any empty cigar box upou which a cigar stamp may be found. fis?"Daniels & Stone are sellingout their winter stock at very low prices. Shoes from 60 to 2.40; hoots from 1.00 to 3.75; a large stock of hosiery, notions, millinery, gents' hats and caps; now is the time to buy; never such bargains offered before; remember the place, opposite Express Of lice. £B?s** Destroyed by fire—Stitier's Hotel at Canoe creek. Also, the house and barn of Mr. Ruber, residing near Centrevilie, Snyder county. The Apache Indians had attacked the men in charge of the Mowrv mail, killing one and wounding several. Oscar Buekalew, a nephew of Senator Bucka lew, of Pennsylvania, was dangerously wounded. Five indians were killed. The savages are well armed with guns and ri fles. .... v For the Gazette. V. P. R. ROAD, March 21st, 1867, PI.UM CRF.EK, Nebraska. MESSRS. EDlTOßS —Thinking of you this evening, I thought I might while away an hour or so in scribbling a few lines in regard to this country. I left old Mifflin March sth, and in company with two others, reached this place by Sunday night, ten o'clock ; stuck one night and day in a snow bank, but fortune favored us—we were near a wood pile, which we sawed in tiie cars, and having rations along did not sutler in the least. The train following us from Omaha was snow ed up seven days, and some of the passen gers were frozen to death. It was noth ing strange to see snow-banks higher than the tops of the cars. There is twenty miles of this road between Lone Tree and Grand Island that will take two hundred men two or three days to clear up. The country about here is not worth much for farming purposes; on account of alkali nothing will grow. Game is plenty, such as buffalo, antelope, wolves, prairie dogs, and last but not least, Indians, mostly Sioux. There is trouble expected along this route in the spring, as they have threatened to stop this railroad from go ing through their hunting grounds. We are about ten miles from the over land trail to Denver. The train from North Platte arrived here Tuesday, 19th, übout three o'eloek, and before the pas sengers all had dinner they were snowed up, and did not get away until the 21st. This station is 230 miles west of Omaha, and 60 miles east of North Platte. Our station can boast of an eating-house, tick et, telegraph, and Wells, Fargo A Co.'s express offices, all under same roofing, and run by an enterprising young man from little Mifflin county. The Co. in tend reaching Denver by branch road, be ing 80 miles from main line. They are making every preparation to commence grading by Ist of April. Wages are good, from 3 dollars per day to SSO j>er month and board. Rates of fare ten cents per mile. Freight is very high. There is a heavy travel expected over this route to Colorado, Montana, and other gold regions when spring opens. g.
