KlLLBD. On Tuesday as the passenger trai
on the Shamokin Division of the N. C. R. R
whs cominir west. Augustus Reppard was driv
ing three horses attached to a wagon with
large wagou box belonging to Win. Ptusyl, tan
ner, of Elysbury, on the turnpike beyond Paxi
nos.' He bad ju6t barely crossed the railroad
track when the train passed, one of the
horses took fright aud ran over the bauk, up
setting the wagon and throwing 'Reppard under
the box, which struck him on the back and
front of the bead killing him instantly. This
occurred in full view of the passengers on the
traiu. Conductor Shustcr stopped the train aud
went to render relief, but before any one got to
him be was dead. Esquire Purscl. of this place
was notified and proceeded in the next train to
Paxinos and held an inquest. The jury render.
ed a verdict in accordance with the above facts
and exonerated the railroad company and its
employees from any blame. Mr. Reppard was
aged about 3 years, aud was without family.
He was iu the employ of Wm. Pcusyl as teams
ter, and was a sober and industrious young
man. His remains were interred in the Snyder
town cemetery.
Retired thou the Bech. The Hon. Jos,
Nicely, Associate Judge on the bench of our
courts in this county, retired on Tuesday last at
the expiratiou of his term. Mr. Nicely has
served in that office for six years. He was ap
pointed as the successor of Judge Bidelspach,
deceased, until the ensuing election, when he
was elected to that position by majority of
votes in the county for five yea's. Judge Nicely,
during his term of office, has given entire satis
faction to all parties. His even temper and im
partial conduct has won for him the esteem of
all, and he retires from the office with the well
wishes of his fricuds for his future success. In
the retirement of Judge Nicely the community
loses a good and efficient officer, who has con
scientiously and faithfully discharged the duties
of bis office. His many warm Iricnds iS Sun
bury, particularly, will greatly regret : hia ab
sence from our courts iu the future. Dqring
his term of office bis dtmcanor whs such that
uoue can utter a word of reproach against him.
On retiring the members of the bar tendered him
a supper, which was given at the City Hotel on
Tuesday evening. Nearly all the members of
the bar were present, and gave expressions of
their appreciation of the Judge's services while
ou the bench.
A Pkeacubr Aiirested fob Fobgery.-J. W.
Couery, a preacher belonging to the United
Brethreu denomination, and a resident of Sha
mokin township, this county, was brought before
Esquire Pursel by Constable David Uullof 8ny
dertowu, on Saturday last, who committed him
to the county jail on a charge of forging the
name of Jeremiah Lewis, a member of his con
gregation, to a veudue note. About a year ago
Mr. Conery agreed to preach to teveral different
congregations in that vicinity Tor four hundred
dollars a year. Upon entering upou his' charge
he borrowed three hundred dollars, two hundred
from one person aud ouc hundred from a gentle
man by the name of Boyle. He gave the latter
gentleman a bill of sale for his horse, bnggy aud
some other goods to secure the payment ef the
hundred dollars, but the articles were left in his
possession, and it is alleged that be sold the
buggy for one hundred dollars to a Mr. Shipc,
aud applied the money on the two hundred dol
lar cote. This conduc; created some suspicion
on the part of his members, and they had hiiu
arrested as above. Of the four hundred dollars
Mr. C. was to receive he got forty, acd out of
this amount kept his family aud paid some
twenty-five dollars on the vendue note, the one
alleged to have been forged.
Hiram Dill, a hard worfciug farmer, residing
in Limestone, Upper Augusta, accidently thrust
a knife in his throat, on Monday last, which
proved fatal. He was in the act cf throwing
a hog to kill it, when his foot slipped, and
he fell to the ground, striking with his
elbow. In the fall the kniVs which he held
in his baud was forced in through his under
Jaw to the brain. When carried to the house he
was unconscious. Dr. C. M. Martin was called
to dress the wound, but the gash was teo deep,
and the patient lingered until Tuesday night,
when he died.
A sportsman in Washington township, since
deer have become plcuty in that vicinity,' has
been boasting of his good tbooling, aud threat
ened, should any deer come within bis reach, he
would certaiuly be a dead auimal. Last week
it happened that three fine deer visited the farm
of our friend, and he followed them for nearly a
day. Ou his return home his neighbors won
dered why he did not bring home the game he
pursued, when he told them that the deer would
uot stand still loug enough for biui to get a shot
ut thein.
That Cane Phesentation. We are a.ked
frequently by iulerebted perons about a cane
presentation which was to have taken place
about a year ago, but thus far has not come off
yet. A number of personal friends were desi
rous at lLal time to show their appreciation of a
prominent landlord ol this place by presen ling
him with a handsome cane. A certaiu Doctor,
then counected with the Sunbury ire Iusuranee
Company as Secretary, feeiiug particularly au
xious that hi landlord should be thus honored,
collected some thirty dollars from ihe landlord"
irieuds to purchase the desired cane. T1m tuue
was set for the preseutntion, b it iu the mean
while the Dot-tor entered into a speculation, and
invested tUt money iu the Sunbury Fire lusur
auce Coaipa:iy, with the expectation of its pay
ing al least tilty per cem. iu six moulds, as t
guaranteed al that time by Hie present President
ol the concern. But duriug the six months the
Sunbury Fire Insurance Company collapsed and
slopped puyiueuu -Krebs"-like, the Doctor
failed to come lo time, and the presentation had
lo be postponed. The Doctor assured the con
tributors, however, thai the present President
uimJ cashier of the Sunbury Fire Insurance Com
pany would soou pay the tilty per cent., and
then, with double the amount added, a baud- j
somer cane would be purchased. The Doctor
ou this assurance left these parts soou ufler,
aud is supposed will soon join Mood; aud Saukey
aud Ucuie a Cseuer Plan. ? !: president and
cashier of the Sunbury Fir; Insurance Company
having had some exiierience in Moody and S.in
key meetings ou a small scile iu the forests of
Elk and adjoining counties, will probably aUo
soon follow the doctor, as that stock will, no
doubt, yield the fifty per cent, much sooner lli.iu
the Sunbury Fire Insurance Company Willi iis
present officers. There is a good opening now
for Moody aud Saukey have giveu notice lor
christians lo slay away and leave room for sin
ners whom they f.esire to convert. The con
tributors lo the cane may look in vain however
for the cane presentation, aud we are disap
pointed in a tirsl-cu local and a champagne
supper.

A young man about twenty years of age, by

HOME GOVERNMENT.
It is evident that at this season of the year
the public schools of this Commonwealth arc
nearly all in session. Thousands of little chil
dren are daily gathered within the little school
houses of the State, to be instructed in those
studies which will develop and enlarge the
faculties of the mind : and be of service to the
learner, in overcoming the multifarious difflcul
ties of subsequent life. The children thus
gathered together to receive scholastic and
moral training ; nrc as different in their nature,
teincrameut and home culture, as they are in
their I'hysiognomy. Some are obedient, mild
uud gentle iu their maimers ;' which sho'6 that
home government in their case is just what it
ought to be. Otbeis are rude,' uncouth, destruc
ive, Impudent and overbearing, which as plain
ly indicates that w hen at home they do about as
they please. But again, some children are quick
of comprehension, get their lessons well, pro
gress rapidly, but are chuck full of mischief,
though raqrc for their own amusement than the
annoyance of anyone else. Others are sullen,
Unatuied, lazy and constantly concocting some
mean triek to provoke the teacher, or create a
isturbauce in school. And with this diversity of
intcllec. and disposition brought together ; the
teacher is exacted to keep a good and orderly
schooi, and train up the young in the way they
hould go. But'the queslioi arises how is the
teacher to do all this, ob ! "says one he must use
moral suasion, moral suasion "is the teacher's
weapon. Yes, this sounds very well, but it has
little affect upon children who never hear, or see
anything like moral discipline at home. The
teacher's authority must be felt aud acknowl
edged, and while hi discipline should -he kind
and affectionate, it mnst at the same time be
unirorm, firm and decided. A child is supposed
to possess little knowledge, and less discretion
to guide his own steps, he must Uierefore be iu
debted for salutary restraint to his elders;
and more especially to those who arc entrusted
with his training. Wc are to-day the same de
generate plants of a strange vine, and the
earliest budding of life, but to sadly prove the
corruption from which we spring, we go astiay
us soon Us we are born.
Youth, children and even infancy need re
straiutsto keep in subject iou the unhallowed
propensities, which arc made, and which would
otherwise break forth in nets of misrule and
violence. Not long since I visited a family of
IhiSvCoramuiiity, who I am sorry to say, have
such rude uncouth and disobedient children,
and without exception the worst case I met in
all ruj travels. I might say they arc a disgrace
to the neighborhood in which they live. But
how can it be otherwise, when the parents set
the example, and nse such language in the pre
sence of their children, that is entirely contrary
to the lules of nature. Such eople are toi
ignoiant to know that their children arc the
objects of contempt and lidicule, and that they
will be brought with gray hairs in sorrow to the
grave. I may venture to say that in no other
district In the county, the teacher h.s as much
to do with the iguoraut and unhand portion
of the community, us here. Were it not for
the reason and better portion of the community
the schools under this charge would prove a
failure. Parents who do not govern their chil
dren at home, ihiuk the teacher has no right to
inflict reasonable punishment. And us soon as
it is found that the teacher has punished such
rude uncouth children, the parents ure ready to
resort to law, and see what they can do with the
teacher in that way. But I would say let them
refer to the book of books, and see what au
thority can be gathered from it, in suw or
coror.il punishment when H is needed, nnd
surely uo one will object to this or doubt its
truthfulness.
Humanity i the sun' to-day us il was in the
days of Soloniou. when he t.aid "foolishness is
bound up in the In ill of the child, and nothing
but the rod of coirei tion shall drive il far from
him. Chasten thy son whi;e there is hoe, and
let not thy soul spare for his crying, correct
thy S"n and he shall give the test. Yea he shall
give delight unto ihv oul." Now I admit
lh.it the teacher should govern his school by
appeals to the reason and better leeling of his
pupils if possible. But a leader in the com
mon schools stands in pl.ice of a parent to a
pupil, and may administer correction to him un
d:r th" siiiie restriction ns in the case of a
parent. The rijhl of a teacher lo inlliet such
punishment founded upon ihe necessity ol the
case, aud not upon statute. II. is obsoiutely
uecrsury thai good order should I f manlailicd in
the schools and I hat all proper rules, regulations
and commands of the teacher should be strict ly
and promptly obeyed. Hence a necessity exists
for a Millicieiit power to enforce this duty, and
therefore it i licl.l lliat the teacher may inflict
such reasonable corporal pnnisliuirul upou his
pupil as the parent might inflict for a simuhir
cause. And in conclusion I would say let teach
ers do their duty iu gooj faith, and trust lo the
reason and better portion or the community,
aud they will succeed, the schools under their
charge will progress, not only inlclltctui'.lly, but
in manners ami refinement, and finally prove a
blessing lo the neighborhood in which they are
located. Teachers "keep plenty water in the
school-room." ". It.

easily understood ; familiarity with its action la
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of cial skill In the operator.
The superior advantages ooiainea in tne ato
mistic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
a. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say that the "Dostis-iic" U the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Dombstic" has many
excellences that render it ittidtdlu tuperior fr
any other Maehin now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
self into its merits when he buy a machine.
Thi is an important purchase, aot to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Do sa
ne" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have
the time and strength to add beaaty and elegance
to work in which before she has been ebligsd to.
content herself with bare utility.
