Wolies. For sometimes past a wolf has
been frequently seen In the lower end of
Centre twp. On Thursday last, a party of
seven went for that animal, and after track
ing her to Hagerty's rocks, not only suc
ceeded in killing it, but found that she had
seven pups, which they brought safely
away. Hereafter our neighbors who are
fond of refering to Perry county, as a good
place to raiso hoop poles, buckwheat and
pretty girls, must not forgot that wo raise
wolves too, as these seven pups are now
carefully tendered by seven different hun
ters, who hope to raise seven " wolf dogs,"
and in course of time more too.
). Arctic Weather During the past week
we have had some weather that would have
been creditable to the Arctic regions. On
Thursday morning thethemomcter in front
of our ofllce at 7 A. M. stood at 20 degrees
below zero, being 13 degrees lower than it
was nt anv other timo this winter. At
Delvillo and at Millorstown dam tho mer
cury went down to 34 degrees below Zero,
and at various other places it Went as low
as 80 dcir. We have kept a record of the
weather in this county for nine years, an
until this winter the coldest weather we
have recorded is 0 degrees below zero, so
that last Thursday was 20 degrees colder
than the coldost day of any previous winter
since our record was commenced.

BAIL E0AP MEETING.
' Subscription Books Opened.'
The meeting which, was held in the Court
House on Wednesday evening .last, was the
most enthusiastic: Railroad meeting which
has yet been held in this borough. The
court room was well filled although it was
one of the coldost nights of the season, and
every one seemed to be impressed with the
importance of building a road. ' The meet
ing was organized by calling Sir. George 8.
Barnett, to the chair, and the appointment
of Frank ortlmer, as Secretary. Ap
propriate speeches were made by C. J. T.
Mclntlre, Esq., Chas. A. Barnett, Esq.,
Mr. Wm. Willis and others. A resolution
was then adopted ashing subscriptions for
the building of a railroad that should con
nect the borough of Bloom field, with the
Pennsylvania Kail Road, leaving the other
point to be decided upon by a majority of
stock subscribed, so that those who are
interested in having any ' particular point
for the junction must aid the enterprise.
committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions. The chair appointed as said
committee, Frank Mortimer, J. W. Kline-
peter, Wm. Lupter, 1 bos. batch, Lewis
Potter, and Jesse McKee, and by vote of
the meeting George S. Barnett, was added
to that committee. The mooting then
aed a resolution requesting the oounty
papers to give the enterprise as much aid as
possible and to call Bpeoial attention to the
next meeting which is to take place on
Wednesday evening, February 12th. Tho
meeting then adjourned. Previous to ad
journment, however, over f 8,000, of stock
was taken. ,
... . l.n Tll....i ft..l,l Tlinai
Editor Having crossed over to Cum
berland on business, my attention was di
rected to an article m the Valley Star,
beaded " Perry Denizens." To say the
least of that article, it is very disparaging
to Perry county enterprise. While we ad
mit that some of the citizens are somewhat
squalid, and the bones of their horses
stand out in sharp outline, with a good
back ground, they are as good looking as
some, yes, many of the sons and horses of
' Mother Uumberlnna." While the rerry
men are driving an honest trade, and riding
in their own primitive and homely jump
ers, it would be more Honorable, titan to
ride with fast horses and fine sleighs, loav-
ing their livery bills unpaid. In regard to
their curiosity being excited, it is no won
der. While some of the politicians of Per
ry are looking for high official position, the
Cumberland aspirants would be willing to
accept a subordinate office under the lien
eral Government, even if it should be a
deputy Post-Master. No doubt those deal
ers in pine knots, hoop-poles, buckwheat or
bark, as the case may be, were curious to
see what kind of poisons those are, who
would bo willing to accept, even the small
est favor at the bands of tho would be
President, by promising throw their in
lluence in favor of tho Administration if
successful. Now, . as regards tho general
intelligence of the citizens of Perry, that
has been admitted by one of the Judges
who at one time sat with dignity on tbe ju
dicial bench, thit the jurymen here were
bettor informed than those of any other
part of the district. As regards liailroads,
Perry has one already, that does moro bust
nessin ono day, than tho Cumberland road
does in a month. 1 ho prowpects are favor
able for another road, then we will not
trouble Cumberland with our commodities
or our squalid appearance. And when
that is accomplished, Cumberland will
stand on the background and Perry will be
exalted.
The aristooracy of Cumberland at ono
time thought that no other county could
furnish men competent to till the Judicial
bench of the district, but they must ad
mit that Perry has succeeded in disabus
ing their minds in regard to that matter,
and we hone we will soon be ablo to set
them right in other things. Such audacity
as that included in tbe article above reter
red to, puts me in miud of a story told by
a wealthy manufacturer of leather, who
went to Newbura; to purchase a carriage
When the coach-maker looked at him and
learned that he was from despised Peiry,
he told him he would expoct the cash for it
The gentleman said be avnt hi boys out to
cut broomsticks beiore he leit nome, una
by tho time ho wonld have the carriage
done, he thought they would have enough
made to pay for it. When the carriage
was completed, tho gentleman cashed it oil
for be was able to buy and keep half a doz.
en such fellows. However, sometime after.
the coach-maker came over to soo tho Fac
tory, he was surprised to And such improve
ments and wealth, ho was taken down and
acknowledged his ignorance.
I bono those who look with disdain on
our county and hur citizens, will come and
examine our institutions of learning, our
agricultural improvements, the provision
wo have made for our paupers, &c, and
they will learn thad Perry is not the out
skirts of civilization. With regard to our
great men, we have furnished both Chin eh
and State with some of her honorable
worthies. A Dbnizen op Pehry,

.School Troubles In Madison.
Mr. Editor As you have been receiving
few items from the lower end of Madison
township, in reference to school house af
fairs, we deem it but expedient that your
readers should hear both sides of the story.
The writer from Centre wished to leave the
impression upon the minds of your reodeit
that the directors obtained tbe grant of re
moving the school house to Cedar Run by
chiseling. Tho word would have been
very appropriately used 11 he had applied it
to tho board who placed tho bouse there
and not the present board, if we have been
informed ; rig lit about the matter., We
think in the spring ot 1371, a certain Uent
from Centro fearing that they would not
succeed in obtaining a grant for a school
house went to one of the directors and per
suadod him to resign and he would take
his place, now if that was not chiseling we
wonder what you would call it. In the
spring of 1872 the intelligent Board as your
correspondent very politely styles them as
sembled in council for the purpose or locat
ing two houses, the one nt Andersonburg
and tho other at Centre. The vote taken
for Andersonburg was unanimous. But
when they voted for a house at Centre wo
say voted for we know they hnd two or
three ballntings in reference to it the first
ballot they were a tie. So thinking this
wouldn't do they gave it another trial ;
they as they claim came out victorious on
this ballot, three voting for and two against
the location. The third sat silent and they
claimed bis vote, although he had fully ex
pressed himself to oppose the erection of a
school house at Centre, and was elected by
the majority of tbe citizens for that pur
pose. And lurther, this intelligent board
located this house in n district whore there
was a school house and only thirty scholars
for the two schools. To have broken up
the old school some of the scholars would
have had tbreo miles to go, and we think
this very intelligent for that Honorable
Board.
Your correspondent states the reason
some of tho old board resigned, was that
they were abused, but that was not so. He
also states that three, of the board who vot
ed for removal were not elected by the
people, but he forgot to mention that some
of the old board who granted the liouso
were not elected by tbe people either.
A year or so ago a ruling elder in one
of our churches offered to pay 810 Bchool
tax for a director if bo would vote for a
bouse at Centre ; when he found that he
could not be bought he then tried to per
suade him to stay at home. In this he also
failed, for the director was a man who
wanted to do right, and he was fully per
suaded that it would be wrong to erect a
house at Centre and therefore could noithor
be bought for love nor money. But when
the present Board came into office they
plainly foresaw tho evil that would be
caused by the house remaining at tbe place
and immediately concluded to havo it re
moved to Cedar Run, where they needed a
house for the last lorty years.
So on the morning of the 17th of Decem
ber the house was removed to Cedar Run.
And for all your former correspondent did
fuss about tho roof being tore off, the floor
out and tho ceiling falling off, we are glad to
say that we wore able to commence school
in it ou the 20th of Dec, number of schol
ars on roll forty two and good prospects for
more in a tew days.
If the liouso had been left at Centre,
there would have been about twelve schol
ars. From this fair statcmont which do
you think desorved the house Centro or
Cedar Run ? Ou the morning of the 13th
wo assembled for the purpose of removing
tho house but, owing to the fact that an
accident happened we deforred the moving
of it until the 17th, at which timo we had
13 horses bitched. As you have been in
formed tho first two pulls we did not start.
So by this time Pharoah and his host began
to rejoice thinking that wo could not haul
the house, but lo I their rejoicing was soon
turned into sorrow, for tho next time we
hepped ' it walked right to the top of the
bill. Then you ought to have seen them
sneaking after with their heads down and
looking sadder than over you saw a darkey
look when ins massy died.
We are informed that one of the ladles
(if lady you might call her) expressed her-
RCit tnat ii it nad nave been one or the men
who was working at the house instead of
the horse that mot with the accident, that
it would have been in accordance with her
wish.
It was reported that the house was re
moved through malicious spite. But to
show that this was not the case, we 6tate
that the present board has located a house
about one half mile from Centre to accom
modate the whole district, and now we
would liko to know where this malicious
spite comes in.
1 Looker ou" as ho styles himself In one
of the county papers, states that a citizen
of Madison township offered the Directors
ten dollars moro than the house cost the
district, that is not true for they were
never offered a red cent for it. But when
the directors agreed to take the liouso off
of the contractors hands they offered to
sell it for what it cost the district, but one
of their intelligent men said you "agreed
to take It on the contractors hands.
So much for intelligent men.
Many Citizens.
I Now having given both sides a chance
to express themselves, we shall decline to
publish any more communications on this
subject. Editor.
Junluta County. From the Juniata Co.,
papers we copy the following :
The dwelling bouse and contents and
store room ami contents of Nelson Van
dyke, at C entra, a place mid way between
Mifllin and Thompsontown, on the pike,
was destroyed by fire ou lust Thursday
morning, about tbreo o'clock. About; that
hour Mr. andyke went up stairs to attend
tho wants of a sick cLild. He was horrified
on reaching the landing of the second lloor
to find the ceiling above and tho attio floor
all ablaze. Three children, who were sleep
ing on the attic, were scarcely gotten out
when the lloor full. The whole home was
soon enveloped in flames, and burned to tho
ground. It is believed that fire got on to
the attio throuzh a defective Hue. Mr.
Vundyke succeeded in saving most of his
store goods,
Wm. M. Allison, Esq., of llio Juniata
Jimubttean, bus been appointed a Notary
Public for Juniata county ri'cd Solomon
Books, Esq., resigned.
We learned that the recent ice flood in
the Juniata, injured one of the piers of the
Ferrysvllle bridgo to such an extent as to
render the bridge unsafe to cross.' No toll
is taken. Those who choose to cross the
bridge do so at their own risk.
Thaddeus Parker has sold his property
adjoining the Juniata Hotel, to Jacob
Thomas, for $2,000 ,
James Magruder, who fell through tbe
hay mow in his father's barn some five
weeks ago, an account of which we gave
at the time, and dislooated his loft fore-arm
at the wrist, bad to have the arm amputat
ed at the el bow, on last Wednesday a week,
in order that his life might be saved.
William Okeson, Esq., a citizen of Porrys-
ville, was struck with paralysis on Friday
afternoon aweek, and still remains in a
dangerous condition. He was missed about
home and alter a long Boarch was found
in an unconscious condition in the water
closet, ia the rear of his residence, where
it is supposed he must have been for an
hour or two after being attacked.
He has since died.
