A woman savs what she chooses without be incr abused for it ; she can take a nap after dinner while tier nusoana goei to worn. ; she can stay at home in time of war and marry again if her hustiand gets Kiuea; she ran tet a divorce from her husband it she sees another man who she likes bet ter : she can run into ueoi on ner nus band's account until he warns the public not to trust her. but she says all these aa vantages are balanced by the great facts that she cannot bine bass, wear a oeara. go sparking or climb;a tree with propriety, This interesting ium of news is from a Pituburch paper. '"I nereis a swinaier travelling in Westmoreland Connty, who represents himslf to be Government officer, and frightens people into the be lief that he is authorized to searcn ineir premises for counterfeit money, lie se cured t'2.000 dollars in that way from a widowed lady, who had just sold her farm, for which she received a large sum, and out of which the lellow picked the $2,000 and condemned it as counterfeit.

Almost thou feksuadest me." Next to the surety of having an amiable mother in-law there is nothing that would induce a bachelor to forsake the state ot single blessedness as quickly as the hope that he would have such a notice as this, which we take from an exchange, tacked to the announcement of his marriage: May the brightest joys which fall to the lot of mortals be meted out to the hap py coupie : may sorrow's hand, whose weight all must at some time feel, touch them tenderly, and may no shadow of evil fall upon their path save the inevitable shadow produced by the dropping ofthe curtain in lite s closing scene. "Old Abe," the pet eagle ot the Eighth isc. m sin Hegiment during the civil war, is still alive and domiciled as a pensioner at the capital of its native State. The bird was in nineteen pitched battles and as many as eighteen skirmishes, and had several feathers cut out of his plumage by a confederate bullet. He would enjoy brisk fight as well as any soldier, and his harsh scn-ams of defiance at the enemy are said to have been otten heard above the din of musketry and cannon. He has even had the honor ot figuring in the offi cial reports of certain campaigns. Nothino contributes more to the gener al health and vitality ot trade than the active circulation ot money, so there is nothing more depressing to business than sluggish payment. A properly-educated business man needs.Jof course, not to be told that the wisest use that he can make of his money is to pay his debts as by so doing he not only makes interest, but en hances his credit ; but it is rather upon the people in general that we would urge the policy, nay, the duty ot prompt settle ments. "The habit of some persons for it is a mere short-sighted habit of postpon ing the payment of their bills, requiring them to be presented repeatedly, involving much inconvenience, with loss of time and capital, to the creditor, is shameful if not dishonest This habit, at all times a bad one, is something doubly bad at this time, when the efforts of every man should be to stimulate the circulation of the blood of the commercial body. Fhila. Preit. The following is taken from the annual report of the Superentendent of Soldiers' Orphans of Pennsylvania for the year 1874. The number of orphan children receiv ing support trom the State was on the first day ot September last, 2,948 being a fall ing off ol 215 during the year. The num ber of children admitted to the schools during the year reached nearly 550. Nearly a thousand of those, now in school, will leave before this time next year ; and on the first day of June 1879, all who then remain under the rare of th Sit will iw discharged, and Penmrvlvani. win win to reap without further expenditures the full harvest of ber noble charity. The system cost the past year f 450, 879.- 48 against a cost oi f 487.232.84 in 1873 Of this sum fo.000 were expended in pre paring, at the State Normal schools, dis charged orphans of a suitable age and qual ifications for teachers. For the four years of work that remains to be done there will probably lie required 11,200.000, and this sum added to the amount already expend ed will make an aggregate ot $5.600,000 a Urge expenditure of money, but in mak ing it the State has paid an honest debt and, I believe, made a good investment (yen in a financial sense.

This should be another warning to boys to keep away trom trains and under no circumstances attempt to mount them when in motion. No blame atiacnea to me engineer of the train; the officers of the road, as well as all connected with the af fnr, deeply deplore the result. Mr. Housel is one of our most respectable, hard-working mechanics, and as the young man was sufficiently advanced to render him much valuable assistance, he feels the loss keenly in more than one resect. The following extremely complimenta ry notice of a Somerset County "boy is taken from the Gazette, published at Lan ark. Carroll County, 111. "Walter C. Koontz, Esq., a native of Somerset County, Pa., has been a tempo- rfLTv res dent here during ue lasi iour years, as a youia uuijusi wicini'ius -t,i manhood, his conduct while here has convinced all ot his true moral worth bikinir active part in Teacher 8 Institutes and the intelligent conventions generally, h at once made bis mark as a young man nf evrcntional abilities, and has hitherto enjoyed a popularity among the more edu cated ladies and gentlemen of the county framed to few. Last winter, ana tins, lie htwfn snendinsr at the Medical College at Cincinnati tiiej Physio-Medical Insti tute and last week we happened to learn that the Faculty had appointed him to de liver the valedictory for the graduating class in February. This standing at the head ofthe Alumni is all oi a piece wun what we had previously known of Mr. Koontz. and will be eood reason for con gratulations among his many admirers here. We predict the young Doctor will do himself and the address justice, making it nrecrnant with independent thought. The graduating class at the Institute, this term, we are happy to say, is composed of superior intelligence, conuiining eome voiinir men ot superior abilities. Carroll County feels thankful for this merited dis tinction, but sorry we can oner no very in viting place for Dr. K. s settlement atler he gets his diploma ; he will probably lo cate a Minneapolis. Success to him. Mas Shot. John O. Dixon, who re sides about four miles from this place, in Lawrence township, was shot by Alex. Kline, also of Lawrence township, on Wednesday, Dec. 23d. while the two men were out deer hunting. The straightcst story that we can get at is this : Kline was following a fresh track and Dixon came upon the same track at a right angle, some distance in advance of Kline, and was cautiously following it through a thicket, when the latter coming up ob served something move in the bushes, about twenty two paces in front of him. and he, supposing it to be a deer, fired, but instead or a deer tailing belore nis ounei, be heard an agonizing groan, and going to the spot discovered that he had shot Dixon through the body just above the hips. Dixon had a reddish colored coat on, and Kline says that he could see nothing of him but a portion of the body between the hip and arm and was positive he was shooting at the deer w hich he had been tracking. Kline went tor help and took the wound ed man to his home, where he died the day follow ing. He leaves a wife and five or six children, not too well provided for. Kline has since been arrested and given a hearing before Justice Porter, at which he entered bail lor his appearance at the next term term of our courts. We are not aware as to the specific points in the charge against him. Clearfield Journal. We learn from the Report of the State Superintendent of Common Schools, which have been kindly furnished us, that there are 16,641, schools in this State, employ ee 19.327 teachers, and containing 850,- 774 schoolars. The average salaries of male teachers being $42.93 and of females 135.87, These schools cost the State an nually 18,847,939.88, and it we add the amount expended for orphan schools $450,879.49 and the amount total Is $9,- 408 819.37 expended under the direction ol the School Department. The percentage of attendance upon the whole number registered b7 per cent. A rathered fair showing, but not as large as is to be desired or as is hoped to be reach ed in the luture. A tew months since Overfield, in the county of Wyoming opened free schools llus was the last district to accept the free school system, There Is now not a single child in the length or breadth ofthe State, that is de nied the privilege contemplated ny that grand old Commoner, Thaddcus Stevens, when he initiated the free schooll system, the greatest blessing and surest bulwark to the liberty or our people. The present high standard ofourschools was not to tie reached at a single bound, but L the fruit of long patience and per severing industry, and too much credit can not be given to those who have worked so long and earnestly that this much to be desired end might be atta incd. The Military. In his annual report to the Governor Adjutant General Latta says : The recommendation submitted last year for reducing the number ot divi sions, the formation of regiments and an increased appropriation .to partly defray armory rents, having received legislative and executive approval, has materially and satisfactorially changed the arrangement and composition ot the service. The twenty-one divisions now reduced to ten by your order of June 30, together with the organization of all commands, exclu sive to those especially priveleged by law. into regiments, bas so combined and con solidated an unwieldly mass as to render it a military force that can be readily and easily worked, for either emergency or display Our military laws by the enact ments passed in your administration, have been so far perfected as to make for the present at least good management, hearty co-operation of rank and file and reasonable public encouragement alone necessary to secure a force efficient, effective and ready to satisfactorily execute any and all de mands. There are now in the service "38 of ficers and 8,261 enlisted men, 109 com pany organizations, 21 of which (9 caval ry, 4 artillery and 8 infantry) are unattach ed ; the rest are all attached to regimental organizations, which now numlier 10, with one provisional battalion. The force is still 62 companies below its allotted quota. The recent election for field of ficers developed the fact that the lest men have been selected. They are all good, and in many cases superior. As prescribed by the act of 1873, I personally inspect all the troops ot the Commonwealth carefully and to the best of my ability, critically examining every soldier. It was previously announced in circular that the inspection would be both rigorous and exacting. Such was endeav ored to be enforced, and it is believed with good results. A much higher standard, it was expected, should be obtained than heretofore, and with that in view many of the companies that were marked well up last year, though now put down, have not been, in nearly all the instances, so reduc ed because of any fallinc off. but by reason of a failure in detail, that for the first year was passed over, but now and hereafter, will be more carefully and particularly ob served Upon the whole there has been a most decided improvement in the tone, morals, discipline and appointment ot the service; and your rxc-llency, who was present upon eve. iusectiou and a close follower and cr 1 -al observer ol all indi vidual details, C..I not fail to thus con clude to conim-nj where praise was deserved or cono. tin w here taulis madj it necessary.
