Tbe coanty auditors met at the court house Monday evening, and entered upon the performance of their duties, first having elerted A. C. Holbert, Esq, clerk, and Val entine Hay, E?q , counsel. Sheriff McMillen and the coanty com missioners effected a compromise with Messrs. Ferner and Barclay, tbe captors of tbe Nicely boys, and wbo claimed the re ward offered for their arrest. They received $-4 each. The Philadelphia Krtrtrd of Monday an nounced that Governor Beaver had signed the warrant fixing tbe day for the execution of tbe Nicely brother.

We devote much of our space this week to a rport of the proceedings of the 34tn an nual stssion of the Teachers' Institute, pre pared by A. C Holbert, Ei. Mr. Holbert has reported Teachers' Institute for the Hxa ald f r the past half-doien years and his re ports have a! ways elicited the approval of U-achers throughout the county. Coanty Commissioner George F. Kimmel was unavoidably detained from attending tbe organization of the Board Monday even ing, being confined to his bed, suffering from tbe effects of a kick received in the pit of tbe stomach and delieved by the heavy foot of vicious horse, last Thursday. His condi tion is not regarded as alarming, although he suffers intense pain. Commissioners Shober and I'bl organized the Board by electing Mr. Kimmel president. Considerable annoyance was caused the new county officials from the fact that their commissions did not arrive until Monday morning. Tbey bad been forwarded by ex press from the State IVpartment at Harris burg last week and were unavoidably delay ed in a railroad wreck near Harper's Ferry. The package in which they were enclosed must have had a very rough trip and evi dently was exposed to the weather for some lime since the papers were water soakad and stained. On the first day of the year, Judge McM vaine, of Washington county, Usued an or der by tbe means ot which it is thought the expenses of the county ran be reduced many thousand dollars every year or two. The members of tbe Grand Jury will convene in the court bouse one week before argument court begins and bear ths case for tb fol lowing session. By means of thia newly-devised method no witness will be kept a lon ger time than two days. For years past many of tbe witnesses have remained 9 and 10 days, and the county paid their expense. Hiram Beam. Esq., one of the most wide ly known citizens of this county died at his borne in Lincoln township, on Dec 23tb, in his eighty-first year. Mr. Btira'i lather who occupied a prominent plact- ia the early history of this county, settled upon tbe well known Beam farm in 1793. Here it was that Hiram was born and died.

The second annual Institute of Somerset county farmers' will convene !a the Court House next Tuesday morning 14th inst, and will continue it sessions nntil 'W ednesday evening. Tbe farmers, and many wbo are cot farmers, who attended last year's Insti tute were enthusiastic over tbe benefit do rived from H and there cast be no doulK that this year's session will he much mora large ly attended. We eaa coooaiv cf no greater beoefit to be derived by tinners than that which is to be gained by getting the benefit of their fellow farmers' experience, and tbey should not permit such an opportunity a this annua! experience meeting presents to pas without taking advantage of it. Mr. T. B. Terry, of Ohio, wbo will be present and lecture is known aa the " potato aUng, - from the fact that he raises more and better potatoes to the acre than any farmer In the fnited States.

A short time sines the Directors of the first National Bank of Johnstown authoris ed Mr. George Faint, an artist of Indiana, Pa , to paint the portrait of the deceased Directors of the bank and now the portrait of D. J. Morrell, George Frila, Jacob Lever good, Isaac Kaufman and Jacob M. Camp bell adorn the wall of that institution Mr. Faint' work was in some instances from small, poor pictures notably that of Mr. Isaac Kaufman, who never willingly bad s picture taken, but thia one was capt ured by soma unknown person when Mr. Kaufman was standing in front of the Cam bria County Bank six or sevew year ago. and Mr. Keim getting bold of a copy, sent it to a relative in Salisbury, this coanty, and it was in turn sent to Mr. Kaufman's chil dren alter his death, and by one of them loaned to the bank for the purpose of hav ing it enlarged as above. Tbe First Nation al Bank contains a rxllery of seven of Johnstown's big men. Business men about town, report a largely increased business last year over the preceed iDgone. Mr. Cook, of Cook A Beeriia said to our representative: "The business) done by our boose this year has been at least $10,- OuO greater the past year than ever before in its history. Don't understand that our pro fits Lave been that much greater because book accounts have grown in proportion and selling prices have been much closer tbaa ever before. Perhaps our lanrety in creased grain and flour trad has had as much to do with it as anything else. W have five car loads of grain at the station to be unloaded at the prsaeat time. Then too we sold almost 50) barrels of oil in the past year. Other merchacts spoken lo agreed in say ing that the year lfl, had been unprece dented in tbe quantity of goods aold, and all look forward to 191 with the greatest satis faction. Jacob J. Younkin, Esq., a spry young gentleman from Confluence, dropped into this otfice on tbe 2nd to square np for his pa per, he having been a reader of tbe Hxaato since KxJ. Mr. Younkin is ratbersmail of statute but is as erect as an Indian. Very few siiver hairs have appeared amongthe heavy, black crop that covers hi bead, notwith standing he is in his 4tb year. He was never sick a day in all his life and has never had to use eye glaums. Mr. Younkin cast bis first vote for Andrew Jack-n and has never missed voting at an eleciiui sini-e that year not even for township officers. He has been an earnest and active Republican ever since the formation of tbe party. Mr. Younkin was bom in tbat favored spot of Lower Turkey foot township, known as Hexehurg" and always resided in the Turkey foots. He is one of the must re markably active and well preserved men fcr hi years in the coanty and has no idea of retiring from active life for a long time to come. Everybody present at Dr. Bnckley lecture in tbe Opera House Thursday should fail on bis knee and thank God tbat he is alive. Not because the doctor shot oat any death dealing volts of wisdom or wit, but rather because a horrible panic was averted by the coolness of Manager Casebeer and Superin tendent Berkey. The boose was crowd d to suffocation when an alarm of fire va raised on the streets caused by a lamp ex plosion in the Dairy Company's offioe and was heard by one or two person in the hall. They at once elbowed their way ont throogh the crowd, while tbe immense audience quivering with suppressed excitement eager ly looked after them. In a moment tbe gentlemen named re-appeared and bade tbe people ait still that there was nothing to fear. Hsd it not been for this prompt action, there would most certainly have followed a mad rush for the two illy-adapted exits and numbers of woman and children would hare been trampled to death. Will not the owners of tbe Opera House look at this matter in th proper light and supply la-ger and sufficient exists for their place of amuse ment T Parting Shot. County Commissioners Neff, Wagner, and Williamson laid down the reins of office Saturday-th two latter returning to their homes in Shade township. This county has never had three more competent, painstak ing and consrientiou officials. They had the spending of more public money than perhaps any Board of Commissioners in the history of the county, and not a woid of aspersion has attached to their same? something extraordinary in this day and generation, when even lb most faithful performance of public duty is held up for criticism. The gentlemen named have earn ed the thanks cf every U payer ia the ejunty. Ex Register and Recorder Jacob D. Swank bas set an example for future tenants of that oKce, both in regard to the promptness with which he recorded papers left in bis charge, and the general cleanliness of his' surrooud iegs. County offices are proverbially musty and dirty, and it is hard to keep them other wise, but there are few housewives in the county who can boast of a cleaner kitchen than was the Recorder olfic during 'Squire Swank's tenure. Of all the coanty officers wfth whom the Hxbil has transacted business during tbe sixty -three years of its existence, none have treated it with more uniform consideration and kindness tbaa ex -Sheriff McMillen sod bis olBcial household, and we believe the same was shown to every person Who had basilicas with his office. . The worst thing aboat George I. Black ' going out of the Treasurer s office, is tbe fcet that he is going back to Meyersdale. Poor man! We bad hoped tbat Somerset ' many advantages over the Metropolis had become apparent to lum ia his three years' official stay, and tbat he would" reside rrroaeat!y among us. Bnt 'twas ever thus. , t . jftck Hileman baa left a well-warmed seat in tbe Commissioners' office and has taken up more comfortable quarters in the Re corder's ofllo.

L. Yocu. Pastor. !ntriut Lectures. It woul i require s-ippr-natural knowltdtr Of the taste and fancy of an indiscriminate audience to enable Supt. Berkey to secure a eoarseof lectures forth evening entertain ment of teachers' institute that will prove satisfactory to all uO may attend. The very uigLest character cf talent anJ abTBy knows to the piatfora ha beett brought to Somerset ou inner occasions and we vent ure to remark tha ih ouurse originally ad vertised fcr th'a season was fully equal if not superior to any that ha ever essayed to en tertain and enlighten a Somerset county au dience. Mr. Berkey wa in no way respon sible for the substil n ions oa the program and under tbe circumstances was fortunate in securing an entertainment for each even ing. "The fault is not in ourselves but ia our stars. . . There is no disguising tbe fact, however, that the course as a whole was nnsatiamcto ry to a maj-irily of the patrons.' A " An erronous ides that has gone abroad, and which we take the liberty of correcting without conso'.tinj Supt. Berkey, ia in re gard to the Institute lecture course being a money making aftVir. W know whereof we speak when we say that the county Sop erinteodent can consider himself in great good luck when he is not cbiied to dive deep into hi pocket to make nps deficiency. There wi re very few unoccupied chairs in the Opera House Monday evening when the curtain wect up. The centra figure on the stage 4 cour was Rev. Rube Noarse, who had been substituted at a late hour for Dr. James Hedley, who in turn had been adver tised to appear in place of Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. But whiie Rev. Noarse occupied the most prominent place in the minds of the audience. Miss Amelia Fee, the vocalist attracted all eyes. This charming young lady presented a particularly pretty picture wben she stepped before the footlights, clad in a mutt becoming gown, her dainty little head coyly tilted to one side, and her face beaming with smiies in response to the hearty welcome that greeted her, and when she bad finished sinking one of those sad, j tender, little ballads which never fail finding a sympathetic chord in every heart tbe ap plause was vociferous. Miss Fee is the pos sessor of a wonderful voice, as remarkable for its compass as it sweetness, and that she knows how to utilize its powers with be coming grace and dignity all who had the pleasure of bearing her will gladly testify. Her singing wis one of the principal at tractions of the Institute. The lecture proved somewhat disappoint ing to those wbo had read Susvenson' novel, Dr. Jekj il and Mr. HyoV, " and who were therefore, unprepared to listen to a long re sume of tbat frightful nightmare; but the recital was followed with tbe closest atten tion by the large au lience wbose iaterest ia the devilisb brutality of tbe demon Hyde appeared spell-boand. Tbe quiet that per vaded the htjiise during the recital was pain ful and it was a long hate before the audi ence hook off the horrid spell it cast over them. Rev. Nourse pointed out a great many morals to be drawn from this dual character, and before he had quit speaking convinced all of tis hearers that tV.ere U eternal war fare waging between their spiritual and eirthly bodies. The climax of bis lecture was reached in the excoriation given the uncrowned Irish king. Purneil, and was of tremendous force and power. There is a great diversity of opinion in re gard to the merits of Dr. Henson's lecture on " Fools. " S jms insbt that it was one of tbe finest attempts from an oratorical stand point ever heard in Somerset while others nnje that it was one of tbe most laborious efforts to crvale a laugh ever listened to by an intelligent assembly of people. Not withstanding the Doctor's complimentary rematks about a Somerset caunty audience, we hardly think it advisable to have hint come here auoiLer season. Dr. Buckley's lecture on " Dollars and Cents " was a ereat disappointment to the large audience that crowded the Opera House Wednesday evening. The lecturer bas the reputation of being one of tbe most forcible aud po'Libed writers on religious topics in America, is one of the most emi nent divines in the Methodist church, bas traveled extensively throughout all quarters of tbe globe, and the people who composed bis audience on this occasion bad a right to exspect a lecture of unusually high order. For two lot j hours the large audience pa tiently listened to one of the most common place and uninteresting talks ever inflicted on a long sunvnug people ana about mat ter too with which any well instructed school child should be perfectly familiiar. Notwithstanding tbe apparent suffering of tbe audience, it was decidedly rude and un becoming on the part of those and there was not a few of them wbo applauded the speaker's statement " I am cow through with the dry part of my subject. " This unlocked for applause served to "rattle" the learned Ductor and it appeared to the writer that be did not recover his equilibrium throughout the remainder t f his discourse. There can be no question tbat tbe matter of Dr. Buckley s talk was admirably adapt ed for the instruction of common school teachers and had it been delivered in a curtailed form before the Institute proper would have been received with the greatest satisfaction. It was not well received by a Somerset county audience. a a The Lotus Olee Club furnished the closing entertainment of the course, and in a great measure compensated 5 tte disappoint ment caused by the emiwtit divines wbo bad prererded thm. We can not recall any musical oraniialinri '.hat Las ever appeared here who gave such universal tjtisfaction. The voices of the quartette bave been trained way oat of sight and they sing with surb ease and perfect harmony that one could net help thakirj that the barjo imi tation was not S'l imitation in fact. Miss Marshall f rivol herself to be a very clever elocutionist. The "Dear Friends" Heard From. T!i following aaooymous letter, , post markel lgonier, was received at this orlice Monday evening. The "dear friend" who wrote it took great pa:ns to disguise his hand writing : Bob Scull if yon don't stop writing lies in your paper about the Nicely boys I will blow vonr red head off yoar shoulders I hsve been a suhsenber of your paper for years and for the last years its been nothing but lies yoa know darned well them Nicely boys are innocent and if you don't stop your infe-nal lies your time will be shorter than theirs remember this you are not safe now to go out side year doir for people are watching for you you will be wUecappedaad pounded till your dead.

Counsel for the Comm'inrealth have re ceived numerous letters during tbe past few days from witnesses, wbo testified ia the TJmbrrger case and jurors, saying that m giving hi name as Butler, of Karris- burg, has visited them alleging that he bad been sent to them by Governor Beaver to ia vestigate the case. It is nonsense to believe that Governor Bearer has set.t out any agent sad we can only conjecture the character of th affidavits he will manufacture on behalf of the Niceley bnr. Butler has been heard of in tbe northern and sooihern parts of thiscocnty and in Westmoreland county. Tbe whole thins look on its face like another fraud. Attorneys for the Commonwealth have re ceived letters from Ligooier threatening their live in case the Nicely boys are exe cuted. t The pardon board bas refaed a rehearing of the Nicely case. If Governor Beaver does not tit tbe day for the execution before he goes out of office, the Nicely are reasonably certain not to hang, as Governor Pattison will not likely do what his predecessor re fused to do. In this connection the In-ptircr thinks it would be a good thing if all execu tions coufd take place promptly upon con viction and at one or another of the peniten tiaries. This thing of holding convicted murderers over until a maudlin sympathy has been aronsei in their behalf is becoming a stench in the nostrils of decent people. If execution is the best wav of disposicg of murderers, let it be done promptly. Bt lfwrd GIV THE COMMON WEALTH SHOW. It is with great pleasure that we note the final decision of the pardon board in the Nicely case. The board will not interfere. and, if the governor will now condfscend to put bis name to the death warrant, these two villians will get their dues. Now that the pardon board bas made amends for its trifling and diiiy-oVlying by rendering a righteous decision, we hope there will be no further delay in adjusting the nooses. There are two great troubles connected with the punishment of capital crimes in Pennsylvania. The Erst is to induce a jury to convict, and the second is to Lave an exe cution follow conviction. Ail legislation is in favor of the murderer. Courts and juries guard his interest with extraordinary care and make it well nigh impossible to secure a verdict of guilty. Wbea aucb a verdict has been obtained, there still remain innumera ble loopholes for escape- A complete and thorough revision of the criminal laws of Pennsylvania is one of the most orgeat needs of the iUy.Sflj'vrd fioMitt. SHOULD HI PJSflD. Senator Neeb bas a bill prepared for the execntion in the penitentiary, instead of in the counly jail, of people sentenced to be banged. This will confine executions to tbe penitentiaries in the Eastern and Western parts of the State. The warden or his dep uty, with such a number of guards as he thinks necessary, the sheriff, prison inspec tors and physicians of the penitentiary, clergymen, and three persons chnen by the prisoner, 12 reputable citizens and such a number of physicians and press representa tives as the warden may deem proper, are to be present when tbe warrant for execution is received. The prisoner is to be removed from the jail to tbe penitentiary and the ex ecution is to take place before sunrise. Tbe law is modeled somewhat after the Ohio law. It will not effect case in which warrants will bave been issued wben the law goes into dect, as it likely will. SOME NEW SALARY LAWS. Th New County Commissioners Will Come Under Triem. At tbe last session of the Legislature some changes were made in the laws gavering the t"oonty Commissioners in the exercise of their official duties.

Tbe Act of May 7, 191, allows them a compensation of $3.50 per day "tor each and every day actually and necessarily employed in the discharge of tbe duties of their oflie. They shall annually submit to the Board of Coanty Auditors s full and itemixd state ment and account, under oatb of the days and nature of business in which they were employed during the preceding year, and the County Auditors shall audit, settle and ad just said account in the same manner as other accounts of the County Commission ers are now audited and settled : Provided, Tbat the pay allowed by this Act shall be in lien of ali other compensation aad charges for tbe individual service aq J expenses of said Commissioners.''

SPECIAL W Kmttiog Yarn, In fclerk Cartinai, sad all the boat eoir,iw. per lb,. Se, per krin. il rkl dow n froea c Public Roads and Wagons. Oor one misfortune is, we bave too many public roads. Another misfortune is, they are mostly badly laid out. They must undergo a revision before the 8 tale wonld consent to expend money on them. Even if tbe State would help to put our roads in good traveling condition, how long would tbey so remain ? Certainty not lone, with our manner of constructing wag ons. iolor.g as we Duiiu ana repair oar own roads, just so long will the State agree to our present fashion of wagons, which is tbe fashioi. banded down to us from ancient generations. It may be respectable to adopt the customs of our forefathers, but it may not be wise, for experience bas (aught cs j that their wagons destroy oor roads, even tbe best macadamized. Now, does it not follow, since our very narrow-tread wagons destroy our roads, that very broad-tread j wagons wonld improve them ? Perhaps it i does. .? i We are SDixwed to broad-tread wacons, i but our opposition is bared less on a knowl- j cage oi laci turn on prejuixs. e but there i no truth in it, that the broad- t tread strikes every object in the road. A good road has no objects in it, and a broad- j tread wagon necessarily cannot spoil a good road. The time has now come that we should prejudice ourselves against the narrow-tread wagon ; first, because it is a regular road destroyer ; second, because it costs more to put a road in order for it than for the broad tread, and aUo because it wears out sooner than tbe broadrread ; if tbe broa.lt read wag on is introduced entirely then a very shallow bed of finely broken stone will suffice ; or if ' , . , , . tne ruatioea is Kept- entirety ary, rains e.v- cepted, the road may need no stone whatever and the broader the tread the more solid wiil it ra-k the road bed. How broad should be I will not pretend to say, but my views are very broad in this case. To macadamize our public highways thor oughly will require a great outlay of money. To construct them in any other manner is useless, owing to the build of onr modern wagons. Even if made after the most im proved manner, our roads cannot remain good under the circumstances. The first act, then, of oar Legislature should be an act condemning the narrow-tread wagon as a public nuisance. That it is a nuisance no one denies, for every time it passes over the road the road is tbe worse for it. The instant the State legislates in favor of the bnad-tread wagun, thui instant tbe building of oor public h'ghways wiil assume a new phase. We could cease calculating on twelve or sixteen inches-of broken stone for a roadbed, fur it any at all is necessary. three or four inches will su2iee. What then ) would hinder us from building oor roads of dirt altogether? or of dirt and stones com bined? or of the material must available? Could we not, under a good broad-tread wagon law, construct lasting roads of dirt al'iie, by gently sloping them from tbe center toward a good water ditch on each side ? No breakers sbooid be made acroes any road, for good culverts are n.ncb better. Then after tbe road is so cast up, let it be well rolled with a five or six-ton roller, and it is ready for use. With such roads and wagons, our road taxes would be reduced to a minimum in comparison with the present taxes, and our wagons would require but little repairing. Horses wo!d continue longer active and real estate become more valuable I'liimate'.y it will come that the broad tread wagon will be legislated in favor of, and wise men will consider this view before they condemn it, if tbey condemn it at all. The present generation should have tbe honor of introducing this radical reform. Necessarily, tbe broad-tired wagon need not be bulky or unwieldy. It bas many virtues to recommend it, with few vices to urge I atint it. TaxraTES. Furniture ' Devlin's prices are right. Broad St., next to Mansion House. Johnstown, Pa. B. B.
