Mr. Peter Levy, one of the oldest citizens of Somerset County, died at his home at Pavidsville Wednesday night.

It is related of the late Judge Black that, in 1 j-57, just after he was appointed attorney general, at tbe Astor House in Kew York, scores of leading politicians called upon him. One day a small gray-haired man ar rived at tbe hotel, and registered himself as Judge J. Williams, Iowa. On seeing the name of Judge Black on the book he took a card and wrote: "The supreme judge of Iowa presents his conpliments to the attor ney general of the United 818163." He sent this up to Judge Black's room, together with a half sheet of paper on which be had writ ten : O Jorry, dear Jerry, I've found yoa at last: And memory, hardened with seeaea ot the past, Returns to old Someraat's mountains of saow, When yoa wen bat Jerry sad I was but Joe. In less than three ruinates tbe treat, dig nitied Judge Black was coming down the stairs two steps at a time, with a little bell boy in close pursuit. Two old schoolmates and law students were together after a sepa ration of some thirty years. Considerable excitement was created on our steeets about half-past seven o'clock Wednesday evening, by the report that John nie Durst bad been shot, and his light was fast going out at the residence of Jacob Thomas, on West Union street, where the yonng man was lying, and where a large crowd was rapidly collecting. Dr. J. M. Lonther was summoned, and found that the ball bad entered tbe left breast, immediately below the heart. Repeated prooing failed to reveal the exact location of the ball. Young Durst's story, which he volunteered shortly after the shooting, and which be still insists is true, is substantially as fol lows ; " I left this house and was going to go over to Main street and from there uptown. When I got to the corner of tbe lane leading to Main street I met a man, who drew a re volver and shot nie. and then he jumped over the fence and ran through the field. I staggered back and yelled for help, and Liz zie Thomas came and took me into the bonse. I got a note to-day warning me and my brother Bill that we were going to be shot to-night, but I didn't believe it. The man who shot me wasn't very tall and wore dark clothes. This story is not generally credited, trom tbe fact that tbs young man's underclothing was burned by the powder, showing that the pistol most have been very f'.ose to hie body, while there was no hole in bis coat, and In his inside coat pock et a 32-calibre five-shot revolver was found. wuu one cnaniuer empty. The ball vat located aud extracted by D.r. Lonther on Saturday, who thicks the young roan may recover. Durst is 18 years of age and a son of Caspar Durst, of the suburb knows as Shorn man town. A game of base ball will be played at this place on Saturday between the "Glades' and a nine from I'nina. Arrangements, which have not yet been Tally completed are beinginadef.tr a game between the "llail- roadera" of this place and the rmatbnrg nine. If this gams comes off it will in all probability be the best one ever played in the County and will attract an immense crowd. ; Beclier, the Clothier and batter, is daily receiving his fall stock.

Mas. A. E. X'uu. Vanderbilt now says that whether the South Penn is sold to the Pennsylvania or not it will not be completed, and will there fore never become a competitor of the Penn sylvania. But the last previous argument by the paid advocates of the transfer was that the road would be completed from Har risburg, if the Pennsylvania bought it and not otherwise, as It was said to offer great natural advantages as a short and low grade freight route. -: - Daiby Fabji roB Kijrr.

Two" covered wagons driven rapid ly over the rongli crossing or Main street at balf-ps-st three o'clock Friday morn ing, caused many of the sleepy dwellers along that thoroughfare to wonder what wild yagers were off on such a "devil's ride." Had the dweller been wide enough awake to have glanced from his window he would have found that the wagons were oc cupied by Internal Revenue Agents Larkin ana Fin mmer, Deputy Collectors Al. Ed wards aud Frank Stutzmau, Deputy Ma shal Ruf. Campbell and General Storekeejier Ed B. Scull. Tbe Simpson boys, Charlie and Ed, held the reins and acted as guides for the party, who had risen before tbe lark n hopes to catch the morn. The party reached Putnam's bridge, which spans the Laurel Hill creek ju-l at the fx of tiie mountains, as the first gray strvaka of dawn were seen in tbe eait. Here a wl deal of valuable time was wasted a. siting ti.e arrival of a native who lis I given tbe inti mation in regard to the mooiisli neditiilrm and who had promised to point thern cx.t to he officers. He cometh not," remarked Aent Pluni- mer, and we had better try it alone. ' About three miles from the bridge, along a rough and rocky road, was found the bouse of Jonathan Hochsutlt r, who was strongly suspected of moonsliinitig. Hochitetler was not at home to receive his guests, but the officers say that judging from the way a nian was seeii sliding through the bushes into the thick forests or the mountain that he bad been apprised of llicir arrival and stood not on the order of his going. In a pring house in a deep ravine just at the e l),e of the woods, and so sheltered by grcnt sugar trees as to make it scarcely visible from the road, was found a complete moon shine distillery. Two stills, one copper, the other iron, holding about forty gallons isvh. were set in a regular furnace at one end cf the building. Near them were five math and fermenting tubs with a capacity ol alwut l.'O gallons each; in one corner was a large barrel filltd with "beer," and in an other a sealed tub containing a number of gallons of low wines ; a rive gallon keg with a few drops of "moonshiufl" lay on the floor. Everything bespoke recent occupan cy .and a hurried flight. Rcvenne Agent Larkin, who has had a large experience among the moonshiners of Kentucky and Tennessee, said tnat he had never seen a moonshine distillery belter located. The stills were torn ont, the mash and low wines em;tied into the spring run, the furnace doors wrenched from tl.eir fastenings, and everything dismantled. A lurge sugar keel er, with a wooden goose neck, had been used for a cap ; this bad been fastened to the kettle by rye paste, or dongh, a large can of which was found in the establishment. The worm had been taken from the cooler and carried off, a thorough search of tbe woods, fielilsand buildings around failing to reveal it. Naturally, HocUstetler's family denied all knowledge of it. In bet, they said they didn't know anything, and unless they were greatly belied by their looks, they spoke the truth in that. High and low, up stairs and down ttairs, and in my lady's chamber the search was. carried on, but it failed to reveal the hiding place of Hocbstelter, or of any more moonshine whisky. Such a God for saken, poverty-stricken looking place as this same bouse is, it would be hard to find any where. Everything bore the impress of the fingers of want, and of careless, doless man aement. It is the typical home of tut moon' shiner, the dwelling ol the Ishiuaeiite, who cares but little for a home from which he expects to have to llee at any moment. Hochsteller, tbe moonshiner, is a tall, raw boned mountaineer, with wavy black hair that hangs down to his shoulders, blue black eyes that glisten in a manner unpleas ant to tbe beholder, aud it is said usually appears in public with a silver moon oa his hat, a belt around his bedy from which are siung a number of pistols, his long rifle over his shoulder, and a revolver in Li boot. He imagines himself the " King of the Moon shiners," and a Jesse James or a "Texas Bill." Revenue Agent Larkin foand the moonshiuer's rifle in the bouse, loaded aud capped. Hie cap was takeu off, aud the nipple securely plugged with wood. Load- j ing up such of th-s " plunder" aa they could carry, the party moved on. The next stop was made at the farm of a man named Peck, on whose land a moonshine distillery was supposed to be located, but a weary tramp of miles through the mountains, closely exam- ining every place a distillery could be hid. I failed to reveal anything to the officers. Tbe 1 premises of a man named Miller, who had J been reported as a moonshiner, were next visited, but a searching examination failed to reveal anything contraband. On the homeward road the party made another call at Hochstetler's, but failed to find him. He had, however, been there in tbe meantime, secured his rifle, and again broke for the bosh. for tlit Herald. Fish CriTVBE. The Cebmak Carp ilr. Etlltar) There seems to be a growing inter est among onr iople in regard to fish cul ture. Judginc from the number of persons visiting my ponds, and inquiries by mail. All who hare seen niy carp have expressed astonishment at tbe size and beanty of these Dsn. I now have carp which were placed in J my pond in the spring of '82, that measure two feet in length, and weigh five pounds. These fish were about three Inches in length when I got them. - Those one year younger are now about ten inches in length and weigh from three to three and ahelfpounds. In April, lSt4. -I ptrrrhMed seventy-five small carp from Mr. Fiuler, of Pitubnrgh. Of these there were lost in shipping all boll thirty - five. These did well and during this sumnaeriny first fry batched, and I now have an abundance of small Bsh ranging in i length from thjee to three and a half inches. , .p.ww.cuuiei spawning nnti! the latter part of June. This I to about three weeks later tban oanaJL Tneit fry Piftde wonderful pro res for the short urae lurj aaa 10 grow. My carp abonld nave iwueu ibsi summer ana 1 cannot as-' im en nbAonn b!. AlA . j -- - - j ". cci j that given by Mr. Finley, via: That they' were all of the tame sex, and for this reason advises every one who has a pond to pro. cum lifty to one hundred fish to Start with, and I think this good advice. As these fish are yet comparatively scarce, the state can not furnish more than twelve to fifteen small fry to one man, and should he lose a few the chance are that bis fish will not spawn, hence the wisdom of procuring a larger number If you can. The carp is said to be a bottom fish, but mine often sport on the surface of the pond and will eat any food floating on the surface of the water. As soon as the weather gets cool and frosty, these fish cease to eat. They then congregate at the bottom ol the pond and lie dormant during the winter, until the warm weather of spring calls them into active life again. In this condition they neither lose nor gain In weight. Their to nacity of life is very great ; they have been kept alive for weeks ia damp moss, and they are able to live a considerable length of time out of tbe water. One of the great advantages of raising this fish ia in the variety of food be can eat and thrive upon. Aside from the large amount of vegetable and insect lood be gets in the ponds, we can feed him on any kitchen re fuseuch as finely chopped cabbage, lettuce, boiled potatoes, etc. Also, melons, cucum bers, and ali kinds of grain. Cheese is high ly relished. Slaughter house refuse is excel lent, bat care must be exercised that no more be put in the water than the fish eat np clean, so as not to befonl the water. For small fry cracker dost and cheese curd it is excellent, so also is bread crumbed fine. Of course in large ponds, mill dams. etc.. is unnecessary, but to us it is a source of tbe greatest pleasure and amusement to feed onr carp to see the thousands of fry rise to the surface, aod then those ponderous two and three year old fellows rising to the surface and smack their li as tbey devour large bites of food and gracefully lash the water with their tails and fins and again disappear in deccr water. Carp are no fish of prey, they do not de vour their own fry, nor those of other kinds as do trout, bass and many ether large mouthed varieties. They freely mingle and feed together, the smallest fry being as free from danger as tbe largest fish. Most every farm in this county has facili ties for raising this noble and rapid growing fish. There are many mucky hollows and low places, producing nothing but coarse grass and weeds, that can be covered with water and stocked with carp, thus making t the most profitable land on the farm, and supplying tne table with a fine quality of fresh fish whenever wanted. The full is a good time to construct your ponds, directions for which I will give in a future paper. II. H. Flick, Mayfield Farm, Lavansville, Pa. ES IS TIIE liAWE 1 HE SOCTH ftS AilAlS IS CotBT, It was freely predicted that when Frank lin B. Gowen, the lawyer, president of the Beading railroad, got home from Europe he would take a band in the South I'ennsy Ivan- iadeal. He has done so, and in a vigorous manner. His interference comes- in the shape of a suit at law to prevent tbe abandon ment of the new line. The suit is in the na ture of a hill in equity against the South Pennsylvania, the Peemickv, the Lake Erie, the Lake Shore and the Pennsylvania rail road companies; also the American Con struction Company, Wm. K. Vanderbilt, H. McK. Twombley, F. B. Gowen, H. I). Hostetter, Henry F. Dimmock. Wm. II. Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Dariua O. Mills, Oliver H. Payne, William C. Whit ney, Stephen B. Elkins.

The plaintiff's claim that the abandon ment of the Vanderbilt line wonld violate contracts entered into between the South Pennsylvania and the Reading, Iecember Iltli, 1S2. which the latter say would de prive them of the benefits which would have accrued to them from the faithful per formance of the terms and conditions of the contract and involve them in great loss and cau.e injury to accrue to them which would be irreparable and could not be adequately compensated in damages. It is alleged that on the strength of the contract the Reading entered into partial agreements with a num ber of railroad companies and that the aban donment of the South Pennsylvania enter prise would deprive it of a large amount of business. The conlract between tbe Read ing and South Pennsylvania provided that the lines of the Reading, the Pittsburgh.Me Keesport and Youghiogheny. the Lake Erie aud South Pennsylvania companies should be nsed" for the interchange of traffic so that all traffic from the line of one should pass to and over the lines of the others, and the Reading and Sontb Pennsylvania agreed that each of the said parties should have an easement or leasehold estate upon and over the lines of the other, to be exercised for the movement of traffic in case either of the parties should fail to comply with the cove nants in the agreement in respect thereto. VKiTED RlnnTS AI.LECEIl. The plaintiffs aver that by the agreement made it was provided that the Reading, Pittsburg, Mckeesport and Yongbiogheny, and Lake Erie companies guarantee tbe pay ment of interest on the $3),000,(:00 bonds to be issued by the South Penn. to the ex tent of 2t per cent of the gross earnings np on traffic carried over or upon the lines of the guarantor coming from or over the line of tbe latter Company. Tbe Reading, Pitts burgh McKeesport and Youghiogheny, and Lake Erie, also covenanted for the period of 10 years to make good any deficiency which might exist in the net earnings of tbe South Pennsyfvania to secure the payment of tbe interest on the bonds agreed to be issued. Ib is set forth in tbe bill in equity that the Reading in pursuance of the obligation im posed upon it by the terms of the indicated agreement, has expended over S1S0X1 to provide a connecting line from its Lebsnon Valley line to that of the South Pennsvl- vania at Hsrrisborg. It has acquired prop- crty for right of way and entered contracts in relation thereto, which are without value to the company, except lor the purpose of establishing the proposed connection. The attorney for the Beading declines to make any statement concerning the reasons tut the suit other than those given In the bill. It is believed however, that this is the first 1 of a series of moves in which Franklin B. I Gowen will make his power felt. 7 MARRIED HAY SCHBOCK.

Phtbiolci.v i Hyvieke is ocb Public Schools. I suppose there is no room for denial of the fact that we, as rational beings, should know more of the mysterious structure which we call our bodv, and also, bow 10 take care of it. Let us consider the impor tance and value which we put on the intri cate machineries which man's ingenuity has constructed, snd how cautiously their movements are regulated. Yet the mechan ical powers involved in tbe mighty engine, or the delicate watch springs are evolved from the innate powers of the human brains and muscles. The intrinsic value of the thins made, is certainly less than that, of the maker. Should it not, then awaken us to a sober consideration of the priceless value of the bouse we live in which is fearfully and won derfully made. It is a sad reflection upon our appreciation oflife and its divine au thor, when we desire the darkness of igno rance rather than the light of knowledge, and thns with ruthless prodigality, throw away more than half of the days of onr hu man existence. But it is useless to contem plate the ruins which ignorance of the laws of life and health has cansed in the past, if we take no steps toward reform in the fu ture. We, wbo have paid heavy penalties for our ignorance of these laws, should cheerfully congratulate those who yet pos ses the vigor of mind and body which is almost universally the heritage of childhood, that they can have the advantage of learn ing these laws of life and health ia tbe pub lic stibealeafaw state) where the- laws of ur Commonwealth, now require instruc tions to be given ia Physiology and Hygiene tilx special refrrenoe to alcoholic drinks and narcotics, and thus avoid , many of the aches and pains of former generations. It seems to me that the reservation of health should belong to the first lessons lm.i parted to children after their minds are cap- able of receiving instruction an I should We j a duty of parents tbe same as imparting , aioralitr. But bow shall the blind lead the 1 j blind ? . Many parents seem to be as igno - rant of tbe matter as their helpless infants to the conrsa of stodieo rraaepbed for Ovir schools. ,: thoughtful comparison 51th the studies heretofore on the list wonld doubt 1 1 W less re veal the fact that tbe logical order of I is atudv in th text book wrniild he ricM I after the ahilitv to read lntellimflv end fl child in itself being a model fo Lliua- tracing, were could be but Utile trouble to m,k the chnd oomDiehend uinr thin to very readily. ' ' , j ith li ! r :ar.Kl tk.t t 1. 11.J ' It m ot course isnrdied that in teaeh tk subject most effectively, the teacher shall hav mastered the subject sufficiently to ' handle it in the simplest words or illustra- tions; this, however, cannot be expected from a great majority of tb teachers, espec ially of our ceuntry scboorr under existirg eirenmstancea. In order to disabuse tbe minds of pupils of the idea that this is a hard stndy, I would suggest to the teachers of the schools, in the : urai districts especial ly, the class exercise be conducted very much the same as in the regular reading classes. Ihesnnjectoftherecilalionsboold be well studied a a reading lesson, and the teacher should be prepared to aek questions which might be answered from the text book ; be should likewise be prepared to ex plain iL meaning of words that are new to tbs pupils. I think this plan would work well for the school term just commencing, sfter which the typirsl inHlnul jlioulJ be nsed. I think school bounls should exercise great care in the adoption of text books in this new study. They should avoid the er ror of adopting a series of books, for we al ready find authors and publishers who have two or three perhaps more books on the subject. One single book of an elementary grade, like Steele's "Hygienic Physiology with special reference to Alcoholic dnnks and narcotics" or the "Abridged'' work by the same author or Mills' First Lessons in Physiology and Hygiene, with special refer ence to Alcohol, Tobacco and other Narcot ics.'' Tbe mistake of adopting whole series lor our ungraded schools in the other stud ies has been tolerated already too long by the patrons of our country schools, and I hope we have enough intelligent directors in our school boards to rectify tbe mistake from this time forward. Want of time compels me to close the sub ject at present, but I hope to find time ere long to continue tbe subject with special reference to Alcoholic drinks and narcotics. J. D. Baeb, Friedens, Pa.
