They carried it from the building in their hands and when they gat out of sight of the older persons in the house proceeded to explode it. Little Berkey was seriously burned about the head and arms.

A slight shock of earthquake ia re,orted from Be ford. The quake ccurred at 1:55 Sunday, and la ted a few seconds. Wir.djws were rattled, clocks stopped and people could feel theearth trembling. Tne fact that at that very moment there was a terrific ex plosion of nitro-glycerine at willow Grove, led many to think the disturbance wits caused by the explosion, but as Bedford is so far away, such a thing seems improbable. More or less cariosity has been manifested in regard to Dr. Levin Irving Handy, who Sectored before the Teachers' Institute Wednesday evening, on " Patrick Henry ; Oratoraud Statesman." Van people in this county had ever beard f the gentleman before. He is a cousin of the eloquent Ken tucky Congressman. W. C. Breckenridije, and is a brother of Hoses T.

A well known character passed away in tbe death of Jesse Slick, who died at bis home in Shade township, Friday morning. He had lived for eighty-seven years and always tnjjyed good health until a few week prior to hi death. Tbe deceased lived on the farm on which be died for more than aixtr year. His wife died about twenty years ago. He is survived by a Urge family. Jeee Slick wa justice ol the peace for a long term of years, and many stories are current of the slick manner in which be dispensed justice.

Session of tla Somerset Coonty Teachers' Institute If pissed into history, and by general corJVer t will occapy a prominent place in the ed ucational annals of our county. Tiiere have been institntes and inrtitntas at which great public good has beeu accom plished, bet no previous cession has eclipsed ia this respect tbe one just closed. The in terest manifested throughout the week as exceptional. The court room in which the tssions were held wa crowded at every meeting, and on two or three occasions hun dreds of people were turned away unable to gain admission. The best of order prevailed and all pretent seemed to thirst for the words of i-djDi that ft It from the lipa cf the learLed gentlemen who appeared in the capacity of In-tructors. Supt. Berkey had arranged the programme with great cue and foreVght. Every period was assigned to t.r?nr. who c:me prepared to fill their places at.d not a moment of time was was'td. The improvement in the character and soo; of ici'itute work has made marvtlou strides in recent years. Time waa when tei'-iiera" ii;i.i:uie was devoted t- reau.ng school b y e-r-jys, answering absurd queries, anl to more a'csird debates. Tiia: time. happiiy, is no more. Tj-day the teachers of ths coaaty assemble to receive i itnciion ia tie methods of teaching adopted by the nisit succesvfu! tdumtoni ia the land, and he must indeed be a d ill teacher who re- tarns to his achool after attending the ses sions of the Institute of to-day without being b?tter q'ta'ified to pen'jnu his duties than ever before. Not only are the teachers in structed and elevated a, institute, but the public is beneiitted as well. The teacher of to day ia a great improve ment on his predeejssor. As a rale he is better educated and is more eager for increas ed knowledge. Tbe law wisely pays him for his time whiic attending institute ia or der that he may receive ius'.ructio.i in uietb oU of teaching and da more etlicient work in the school room thereafter. Superintendent Berkey bas had much to do w. tli raiding the character of instiiu e watfc in this county. During the six years he has a rvod as Superintendent he has pro vided the very best talent obtainable fjr in tructvrs. Nor has he confiaed him It" to State taleat, bit has procured a nu nlier of the most celebrated educators of the land to lecture before our teachers, in-order that they might be bene lilted aud better equipped for their work. The instructors thi year were compara tive strangers to the teachers of Somerset county a num'ier of them never having visited Somerset before. In their individual work they did cot measure up to tne stand ard of Dr. White, of Cincinnati!, and IV.-f. Del otte, of Chicjo, who were r ith us last year. We believe re voice the sentiment of a msj rity of tae teachers when we say that the most popular iutructor preecnt was Supt. Hamilton of Allegheny county. Supt. Hamilton is an unassuming gentleman who has spent the greater part of his life in the school room, and is familiar with ita work and requirerntnta. His several ta'ka on " The Teacher," The Tuilosopber in the School IJjom," "Essential Conditions," " What to Teach," etc., were the mint inter esting of tbe week. Supt. !!a-n iton was very compii-ncutary to the teachers from this county lio have been teaching under him in PUtV.irgh. Dr. Ii.il, of the Millersviile Normal School, and Dr. Malthy, of the Siij ery Rock Narnial i-ran jl.both dsliveied a num ber of highly instructive lectures on topics of great interest to teaotiers. Bjth gentle men have had a wide experience in teaching and b.th have gained eminence in their chosen profeuion. I'rof. Byron W. King continued to be a hig,'h favorite throughout the week. He sandwiched his serious talks with so many ludicrous stories that the auli'.-nce always bailed his appearance with applause. Prof. Excill, who had charge of the mu sic, succeeded in teaching the teachers a number of new song, which will be carried bark ta the school rooms and will tend to relieve and brighten the hours not devoted to ttudy and recitation. Tbe space at oar command will not per mit (f even a brief resume of the many ex cellent features of the institute. All of the lectures were ia acord with the progressive educational sj.irit of the day and must, rc-u't in permanent good to the schools of the county. The address delivered by J. fj 8tewirt, of the Department of Pablic lustra jllon, be fore the j int session of teachers and direct ors, Thursday afternoon, waa one of the princiieal feat ures of the week. Tae sjeaker commanded the close attention of the au dience while he p'ea I d for aa increased school term, for belter qualified and better paid teachers, for better educational facili ties, and for increased effjrta on the part of both teachers and directors. He endeavored to impress the directors present with the great responsibilities devolving upon them. No body of officers iu the Commonwealth are granted the same piwer as are school directors and to none are entrusted the same responsibilities. He paid a high tribute to the efficiency of couuty Superintendent Berkey before closing. KX-SENATOB ItCuALLs' LKCTCBE. We doubt very much whether a Somerset County audience ever before listened to a lecture of greater merit than the one deliver ed bef. re the Teachers' Institute la?t Tues day evening by ex Senator Ingalls. Certain ly they never heard aa address ia ptfer Ea glUh or more elegant diction. " Problems of Our Seond Cmtury," the subject of the lecture as a matter of course made it of a political nature. The spesker did not deal with the subject as a partisan, but as a statesman deeply interested in the perpetuity of our present form of govern ment. The solution he offered for the many grave dangers threatening our National ex isteuoe is in the education of the youth of the land and the purity of the billot box Mr. Ingsl's prefaced his remarks by tbar.k ing tbe Chairman of the evening for the complimentary eulogy given him on intro duction, and said that be only d. sired to add "tl at I am the man that got left. My name is Dennis." "Last evening at Greensbarg," be said, "it was my pleasure to dine with three bright, intelligent young men, neatly attired and of good address. They were school teac' era. In tbe course cf a casual conver sation they infjrrneJ ms that they recognis ed me from the cart xms they bad seen of me in 'Pack.' I am, perhaps, the only man who baa ever token a prominent part in public afiairs, whom tbe raracaturists have done no irjusiice. Our conversation drifted into politics and to my great surprise these intelligent, educated young men, told me that they were so ignorant of tublio affairs as to be unable to vote intelligently. I bold that every American should be a politician and a partisan. No question of whatever o i tore arise in this country that are not di rectly related to politic. Tbe solution of domestic, social and religions affairs ia at the ballot box. Tbe questions that are now confronting thi g aeration and are threat ening our national existence will have to be solved by tbe boy of to day. Can they solve them if they are permitted to grow up in ignorance of onr constitution and tbe character of our government. The school teacher is the sentiaal on tbe watch tower of liberty and in his bands if placed the des tiny of our National life." Tbe speaker denied in strongest lan guage tbe charge of tbe venal democratic press that " the rich are growing richer aud tbe poor art growing poorer." Never before in the history of tbe world will a dollar buy so much as now, or will a dollar earn to liule. He denied that capital control legis lation, " or if it doe tbe remedy I at tbe ballot box." I o regard to the repeal of tbe purchasing clause of tbe 8herman silver bill be said that be bad failed to see tbe good time that vers promited would immediately follow tbe repeal of that measure. " All that tbe people require is that tbe government shall say that dollar, do matter of what it is composed, shall pay oo hundred seats worth of debts." There was very little Lumor in Senator Irgalla, lecture, but he brought down the bouse when be taid in his inimitable way: ' When the McCsnlry of tbe future orr.es to chronicle tbe events of onr times is asked " were there any good Democrats? he will reply: A few, net many; here and there one.' And will answer wben ssked we:e tbere any bad Republicans? 'a few ; cot meny ; here and there one.' The lectQrer referred to the danger threat ening oar common school system, to those ari&ing from nndesirable emigration, the labor question, the ecrrency question, the race question, and other. He did Dot pre dict calamity, but urged education and in creased Interest ii political questions as the proper solution of tL danger now menacing or that may hereafter arise to threaten ocr National existence. pibktoes" COSVXTIOS.

James McCra. ki n, t.f Jt liVrson csunty, tad his rltjck of sheep 1 l;as. J by dogs a week ago. Although b'tt tiro of them were killed Mr. McCrackeu tlaiuitd that the iLuuage to the floek was more than the actual 1 ss of tbe sbrep. The township auditors were inclined to a re with him, but did not care to set solely on their own judgment. A let ter wss written to Hon. Frank N. Moore, cf Bradford county, author of the new dog and sheep law, and a prominent lawyer in Brook ville was also asked to give an opinion ia the mailer. Mr. Moore replied that the intent of the law was to cover all damans whatsoever from the killing, wounding, or frightening of the sheei by dogs. I: is well known that pregnant ewe?, after bir.g chased by dogs, are very likely to loss their lambs, either by premature births or de formities that cause the lambs to die soon after birth. Tbe damage is therefore a mat ter for auditors to judge taking into con sideration the number of sheep kijled or wounded. The attorney's opinion was to the same effect. FunMutawnej SpUU.
