Tersons in the riclnity of Meyersdale de siring tickets can see Mr. Fritz every Friday, at the Jones House, from 3 to 5 p. m. There is a statement going the usual round, to the effect that a man was recently killed by a panther, near renfield, Clear field county. The men in a lumber camp heard a cry for help, and on coing a short distance from the camp, man was found lying on the road, a lighted lantern stand ing by him. His neck was frightfully torn, but he was able to say that a panther had sprung npon him and torn him in this man ncr. He was carried to the camp and died in an hour. The severe weather lias made the wild animals hungry and fierce : but wheth er the story is true, we are not prepared to say. The formal transfer by the l'iukerton Lumber Comnany to Messrs. C. I. Markle & Sous, the West N'ewtou paper manufac turers, of one thousand acres of timber land at Markleton on the Baltimore and Ohio road, in Somerset county, has been eflected. It is from this land that the latter firm will draw their supplies of linwood for the man ufacture of wood pulp at their mills now building at Markleton. This sale leaves the Pinkerton Luralx-r (Company over three thousand acres of land, all well timbered and underlaid with valuable veins of coal and ir 1 1 ore. They are pushing their mills to their i'lllest capacity. The annual bauquct of the Masonic Fra ternity, of this place, was given at the New Central Hotel, on the evening of the 22nd. About two hundred iersons, members of the fraternity with their ladies and invited guests participated. The proprietor of the "Central" spared neither pains nor money in preiaring for his guests, and the tables were the handsomest we have ever seen in Somerset. The banqueting room was beau tifully decorated with Masonic emblems, sjrae of them being yery costly. The music was furnished by an Italian Band, from Pittsburgh, and the lovers of dancing hod every opportunity of enjoying themselves-. Advebtihed Letters.

Ten of Stoitycreek's young men were ar rested one day of last week on a charge of riot. They all gave bail for their apjear auce at the next Court of Quarter Sessions to answer the charge. An effort is being made to repeal the pres ent Jury Commissioner law and place the selection of jurors in the hands of County Commissioners. A bill with this end in view has already been presented. The first Monday of March (which will be the 7th of the current year) is the day fixed by law for constables of the various bor oughs and townships of the county to file their bonds and be sworu into oflice. Mr. A.J. Lull, the gentlemanly book- keejier of the Somerset Dairy Company, has been in rittburgh, for the past week, at- iding to business for the firm. We scarce ly know what '"Hill" would say to this. It is now said that passenger trains will not lie placed on the S. A C. K.

Pittock, founder of the Pitts burgh leaJtr. He started to earn bis living in that city when a mere boy, by selling newspapers, and being full of energy, am bition, and possessing a faculty of saving money, he eventually embarked in business as a newsdealer. By dint of industry and frugality he continued to prosper, and ac cumulated considerable means. Recently he was prostrated by ill health and went to Florida, but on Tuesday his wife, who ac comjianied him, telegraphed to friends in Pittsburgh that she was bringing him home, and was doubtful if he could survive until the journey was completed. josip is the peculiarity of a small mind, jine ieop!e don't know enough to talk about the greatness of things, and so they talk about the littleness of persons. The expression of their own shallowness is what we call gossip. 'Ma." said a little girl, "what is there that's so funny about locksmiths ?" ' I don't know my child. Why do you ask ?"

Mr. Earl was married to Miss Ella A. Kingslcy, daughter of the late Bishop Kingsleys, at the Arch Street M.E. Church. Philadelphia, at 12 o'clock, on Thursday, February 10th, 1881. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Simpson, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, pastor of the Church.

A resident vf thin town under the signa ture of "Brothersvalley" furnished a com munication for the Meyersdale dm imM of last week professing to give the receipts ami expenditures of the Internal Revenue oflice, aud then adds, "These figure are of course not o Qicial and I will be glad if Mr. Scull will correct them." If Mr. Scull took the time to hurl a stone at every mangy cur that yelped upon his track he would have but few moments for his ofiiciul duties. And if every fool or knave who pleases to invent and publish a false statement had to be answered, life would be too short for the task. As in this instance, however, the allega tion that more money is expended in official salaries in this county than there is revenue collected, is a direct charge against the pur ity and honesty of the National Adminis tration, it shall have brief answer, plain and unmistakable.' The whole statement is one monstrous lie, and the writer of it, knew it to be so when he put it forth. He lies in detail and he lies in concrete. He lies wilfully, maliciously and knowingly. He lies out of the pure cussednesa of his nature and because the truth is not in him He lies as to the salaries paid out and as to the amounts collected. In short, he clothes himself in lies as with a garment, and if his malice had not outran his cunning he wonld have seen that his lies were so utterly im probable that no one short of an idiot would credit them, and that the veriest fool couldn't be made believe that the govern tnent would keep in employment a set of oftlcials whose salaries more than eat up the revenue they collected. He knew, also, that the district was composed of nine counties, while he estimated the collections from this one alone, and those from only one source of revenue. He knew that the oflice force here kept all the accounts, records, etc., etc., for the entire district, there being but three deputies to the other seven counties, and he knew nothing of the salaries paid excep: perhaps, to one clerk, and the jxt diem Storekeepers and Gaugcrs.and he deliberate ly manufactured the table of salaries he appended knowing that he was making and uttering a lie. We are not at liberty to lay the govern ment accounts before the public at the call of every knave who pleases to lie about them, but we will explode this tissue of lies with a single item. He places the an nual receipts in this county, at $13,567.52, when in fact, the receipts in this office alone, for a single month of the present year were over $18,000, from the entire dis trict for the same month were $29,000, and for the year will largely exceed $200,060. Xow, the etligy of a man who published this false statement, knows that annually the Secretary of the Treasury makes a de tailed report of the entire receipts aud ex penditures of the government, as docs the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.' These reports arc distributed broadcast over the land, and any citizen desirous of knowledge can by reference to them ascertain to the last penny the salary of any official in its employ, and every farthing collected ond the source from which it comes. In the face of these facts, and when the truth can so easily be arrived at, the man who would delifieratcly and maliciously attempt to brine odium upon the government and falsify the record for the purpose of petty personal revenge, Usufliciently characterless to play the midnight spy on his neigh bor, or besmirch a woman's fair fume with his vile tongue. Two of Fayette county's sportsmen were brought Wore Esquire Garhard, of King wood, on the ISth, upon charge of having pursued deer in this county with hounds. They were fined fifty dollars apiece and costs, which they promptly paid, and departed vowing never to do any more hunting in Somerset county. W.M. Scat bock. Clerk- Somerskt Nobmal Aoadcmv.

State Superiutcndeat Wickersham, in his annual report, in sreaking of the necessary qualifications cf school directors uses the following larfUAge : "One source of weak ness in the system is that school boards are required to perform duties of which they many times have an inadequate knowledge. They are generally men of intelligence and possess good business qualities, but many of the duties which the law imposes upon them as school directors cannot well be performed without a kind of special knowl edge and skill which they do not iossess. To learn how to build and furnish a school, house with due regard to the work of a school and the health of the children re quires the study of years. How can men who know nothing of the art of teaching, certainly as difficult ai the making of a watch or a steam engine, wisely select text books, arrange eo arses of study, grade schools or examine classei? Our school sys tem is weak in placing in the hands of school board duties that properly belong to experts." . The most striking things in the March fir. Xirhuht are Mrs. Oliphanfs admirable pa per giving the touching story of "Lady Jane Grey" (to be followed in April by the com panion article on "Mary Queen of Scots ) ; an illustrated account of two atnrdy' Ice landic boys in their desperate "Encounter with Polar Bear" ; "Mary Jane Describes Herself," n illustrated autobiography of a Sunday school scholar : s new scientific in door amusement called "The Magic Dance"; an incident of Adelina Tatti' chilhood, when traveling in the United States, in 18T4, with Ole Bul and Maurice Strakosch ; and the foor serials. the fourth installment of Ronsiter Johnson's story of "rhaeton Rog ers," ia which is described that young in ventor's disastrous "horizontal balloon-ascension" ; Dr. Oswald's stirring "Adveutures in Nature' Wonderland" ; Mrs. Clara Ers kine Clement's second paper of "Stories of Art and Artist," with six pictures ; and the anonymous "Mystery in a Mansion : a Sto ry of an S.

Kditor Herald : Mr. Smith of the Mey ersdale Commercial seems wonderfully tick led at Regular a inconsistencies. He ex plains in this wise : "In its issue f lost week the Hebald said that "lirgviari'' com munication was not in time, etc ; in other words it was in, but too late to get into type. Three days after "Stonycreek ap learcd in the Cvmtiirrciul and "Regular whose letter was received three days previ ously at the Hebald office, answers it in part. That is "Rrgular" answers part of a letter written to the Commercial several days before it was put into type." This is the way the matter stands : We wrote to the editor of the Hebald informing him of our nability to prepare anything for the issue ofthelCth. The editor said, "our Stony- creek correspondent was unabe to send his communication in in time for this week's Herald." There was no communication written, sent or received for that issue. We don't answer letters before they are written, Every word of Stonycreek s letter was read by Regular before a single scratch was made in reply. Mr. Smith then breaks out in the follow ing strain : "He (Regular) must be gifted with second sight, or is the editor of the Herald at his old tricks." AVe can assure Mr. Smith that there is notliing wrong with our optics ; nor have we ever been afflicted with that other disease which enables one to see imiiinary objects. The editor of the Hebald can take care of himself. The object of these immaculate reformers, crops out in everything they say and do. The abuses of the party, real and imaginary, which seem to weigh so heavily on their tender hearts, and which they have sworn to reform at all hazards, are simply made the occasion for venting their spleen npon their pcrtonnl enemies, and they do it all in the hallowed name of reform. The welfare ond success of the party is altogether a sec ondary matter with them. They have col logued for the purpose of destroying the political influence of their perianal enemies, and thus clear the way for sclf-nggrandize-ment The whole movement of the "bol ters" called a reform movement for the purpose of ei vine it a respectable name be gins and ends in self. Look atthecomuni cations over the signatures of Stonycreek and BrothersvalleT. - The whole burden seems to be that the Sculls hold office ; and wc the rrormert who "spring to our feet" and "moke ringing fpeeches" must stand by and suck oar thumbs. We admit, if we view it from the "bolters' standpoint of reform kicking the fellows in oflice out, and putting us in it seems a little annoy ing. There u a good deal of consolation for these conscientious politicians, in the fact that they have elected an "anti-machine, nni- li-bott and anti-ring" Senator who will give every one a "till house" to watch. Regxlab. The following is the item referred to in the above, which the intelligent editor of the Qmmerdal perverted into an allegation that the communication had been received. -En. "Owing to circumstances over which we had no control, our Stonycreek correspond ent was unable to send his communication in in time for this weeks Hebald. It will appear next week." Savixo Jihk. The limit fixed on round trip tickets to the inauguration is one week, this being the agreement entered into by all the railroad companies. This the fact, the question of saving time en route is one of no little importanceuidhencetbeschedules of the different lines out of the city will be scanned with the closest scrutiny. It is well known that the Baltimore and Ohio is the nly line from the West to Washington di rect ; that is to say, it'is the only track iato that city direct, the trains on competing lines being forced to take round about routes in order to get in. Under these circumstanc es, it must be plain to the most casual think er that the Baltimore and Ohio's time is quicker into Washington than that of any other road. It is no less than seven hours quicker, the "Daisy Train," that leaves here at night, arriving at Washington at noon the next day, whereas the trains by other lines do not reach Washington until night. Aside from the ad. antage of arriv ing at the National Capital in the middle of the day instead of by night as by other lines, this saving of seven hours each way ia just that time gained on the week's limit; or in other words, those who go by the Bal timore and Ohio have just a day more out of the cars than those who go by rival lines. The Baltimore and Ohio's reduction of rates for the inauguration goes into effect on Tuesday, March 1st, and tickets will be sold at the fare on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For the return trip these tickets will be good up to the lost train on the night of Monday the seventh. We take the following items from the I Johnstown Tribune : I The Jones family residing near Davids- ville, Somerset connty, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Jones and their two children, will be transferred to Cambria county Alms house within a day or two. .They frere placed a charge on the former district some time ago, and the Poor Directors toon learn ed that a legal residence bad not been gain ed there ; so this district, where they paid rent and taxes forsoroe two years, was com pelled to assume charge of them.. Mr. Simon Young, butcher, of the Fifth Ward, purchased from Mr. George Gardner, in Quemahoning township, Somerset coun ty, last week, a fine Cat steer, which was weighed on the scales at Beam's Mill this morning, and the beam was tipped at 2,135 pounds. Considering that it was only a four-year-old, this can be set down aa a moon tain of flesh, and it is probably the largest specimen of the cattle kind ever raised in that county. He was bred from "Kentucky Snowball," and is almost pure white. Mr. Gardner takes great pride in his stock farm, has been successful in raising some of the finest stock ever brought to this market, and his farm is a model one. Mr. Younz will slaughter the steer to-morrow, and the meat will be on sale at his store on Main street, as also at his market on Morris street, with out extra charge. Mr. Gardner deserves great credit for improving stock as he has done, and Mr. Young credit also for en couraging him in doing. ' The filling between the track ot the S. A C. Railroad and the enbankiuent of the abandoned Feeder, at a point just opposite the old Hansman brewery, and running southward to where the road bed crosses it several hundred yards farther up, will be completed within the coarse of two or three weeks, as the "dumpy train" of theCambria Iron Comjiany is being ruu day and night, and the cinder and other refuse has al ready reclaimed a large scope of what would otherwise have continued a swamp, and which, during the summer months, would undoubtedly prove a prolific source of pes tilential miasma and disease-breeding va por. The space now nearly filled up will be utilized by the Somerset & Cambria Rail road in a way which will materially en hance the value of property in that portion of the Fourth Ward known as Horncrs town,os the erection of a Round-house and Turn-table will be commenced there with in a short time. The building in which engines will be kept when off duty or under going repairs is to be a very large one, and we understand a section of it will be divid ed off into a machine shop, with sufficient space for the employment of a large force of hands, and part of the general repair work at present done at Connellsville, on the main line of the B. A O. Road, will be trans ferred to this place. The bed-stone for the foundation of the pivot of the turn-table is now being brought down from a point up along the railroad, and its weight is over 7,000 pounds. As the table is badly needed just now, its construc tion will be commenced immediately, and a force of workmen wilt arrive here in the course of a few days to make the necesssary excavation, bnild the foundation, and place in position the iron framework, which has already been prepared. It is also stated tlias as soon as the weather breaks the bal lasting of the entire road will be pushed for ward rapidly, and by the latter end of spring it will be one of the best-appointed and equipped roads in the State. The measurments have been mode for the erection of a freight depot .'on the property between Washington and Broad streets, known as the "lumberyard," and the plans have been prepared for the building. An examination of the school house, comer of Washington and Franklin streets, was also made recently, and the interior will be ar ranged for offices, etc., as soon as the prop erty is vacated by the Johnstown Scheol Directors.

The second part of Mrs. Bur nett's piquant novelette, "A fair Barbarian,'' will be eagerly read by those who have read the first part, and will be found even more interesting. That this story adds new lau rels to.the author's reputation is not doubt ed by anyone who has read it through. 'Ericsson's Dcttroycr, And her Sew Gun," is the subject of a paper, by Mr. Charles Bar- nurd, which has the advantage of present ing the first drawing of this long-expected piece of armament, with some fresh details. In 'Musical Possibilities ot America," Mr. Theodore Thomas writes practically of vocal and instrumental culture, church and thea ter music, bad and good methods of teach ing, and American violins. Xever-before- eugraved portraits of Charles and Mary Lamb, from old paintings, embellish a short paper by Mr. John Arbuckle. "In London with Dickens'' is a chronicle of the locali ties of Bin, including Mr. Tulkinghorn's house, Limehouse Hole, Jenny 'Wren' house, the Inns of Court, etc. Dr. B. E. Martin, who contributes this paper, writes from a personal familiarty with the places which he describes. Another similar paper is to follow. There is aa illustrated article on "John Singleton Copley," by his grand daughter, Mrs. Armory, giving a biographi cal account of an American painter, popu larly little kuown, and presenting engrav ings of "The Boy and the Flying Squirrel," the "Boy Rescued from a Shark," "Lady Wentworth," aud other illustrations. Still farther variety is given to the number by a second paper of "Kccollections of American Society," by Mrs. S. V. Oakey; an illus trated paper on "Striped Bass." by Mr. Francis Endicott ; an account of "Protest antism in Itily," by Rev. Washington Glad den ; more "Notes of a Walker," including discussion of Sliakspeare's natural history, by John Borrougs : "A Dangerous Virtue," a striking short story, by Mr. If. IT. Boye- scn ; the fifth part of Mr. Schuyler "s "Peter the Great as a Ruler and Reformer," illus trated by Blum, Nchlig, and others, and the concluding paper of "(rliuipses of Parisian Art," with studio sketches by Jourdain, Alfred Stevens. Rico, Kgusnuita, Madrazo, and others, and interesting personal material. JfSKEBTOwx, Feb. 21, 1881. EiTOBlIt:BLl : Avery agreeable and pleasant surprise took place at the Lutheran parsonage in Jennertewn, on the evening of the 21st. Some of our kind friends of the Mount Zion congregation came to visit us, and brought with them substantial tokens of kindness. We appreciate these gifts all the more because most of them were given by the poorer members of the Congregation. Such deeds of kindness we appreciate, and they are calculated to encourage any pastor in his arduous lalior. Such visits and gath erings are also pleasant socially. Too many people think that the pastor ought to come and see them often do all the visiting while they forget to pay the pastor-and his family a Visit to make them feci that they are well disposed towards them. To make it pleasant for pastor and people, visiting must be two-sided. As I was away from home when this sur prise occurred, I take this method of thank ing the kind donors. Many thanks to all who have contributed to this donation, and may you realize of a surety that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." . W.M.gra-ioLKm. Through Mall trains dally.
