Mr. Albert Hartzell, Superintendent of the Everett Electric Light Company, who had been spending few days with his parents Sheriff and Mrs. M. II. Hartzell returned home yesterday. Thursday evening a party of Somerset young people enjoyed a sleigh ride to X toy ew town, where they met a similar party from Johnstown. Both parties were entertained at the "Custer House." The recent 'cold spell" has frozen a crust of ice from six to eight inches thick on the stream south of town, and icemen are busily at work harvesting a crop of ice for next summer. Mr. Edward W. Walker, of Milford township, and Miss Edith Berkley, of Berkley's Mill, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, on Thursday evening, 21st insU, Elder Silas Hoover, of the Brethren Church officiating- t Word reached here yesterday afternoon of the death of Miss Viola, daughter of Hon.

Bristow wU deliver his pop ular lecture on "Sticks and Umbrellas" before the teachers' joint institute to be held at Garrett on Friday evening, Feb ruary 5th. Rev. Bristow delivered this lecture before a Somerset audience on a previous occasion. It is full of humor. The name of Henry L. Walker, of Sto nycreek township, was on the slate read before the members of the Legislature last Tuesday, he having been selected as an assistant messenger of the house. Mr. Walker left for Harrisburg Sunday night, in company with Senator Critchfield and Representatives Miller and Sanner. Mr. Herman B. Kooser, formerly as sistant station agent of the B. & O. iu this place, but now Commercial Agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, with headquar ters at Salt Lake City, spent a few hours with relatives here last Tuesday, sto p ping off on his return from New York. Mr. Kooser is steadily advancing in the railroad world, one promotion following fast upon the heels of another. Mrs. Ira Beachly, who deserted her blind husband ten days ago, was in Som erset last Thursday, when she engaged a livery team and was driven to her home at Bcachdale. Her hustand is reported to have forgiven her and taken her again to his bosom. The fellow in the case vis ited Meyersdale on Thursday, and Jt is said that the couple parted company at Rockwood. The "Week of Prayer" services held in Christ (Casebeer) church, during he week of January 19-22, were well attend ed. Thi communion services on Sunday, 24th, was largely attended, the church being crowded, despite the stormy weather. Over 200 partook of the sacra ment, which was administered by Rev. Gebhart. There were four additions to the congregation. The Board of pardons have recom mended that a pardon be granted Frank Bear, of Westmoreland couuty, who was convicted of arson in 19, and is now serving out a sentence of 14 years in the Western Penitentiary. Bear was a pros perous young miller at Greensburg and was convicted of procuring two men to burn down the flour mills of his two most formidable rivals in business. It is now alleged that the evidence against Bear was perjury. Regular adjourned court met yesterday afternoon. It was thought that the mo tion for a new trial in the case of John and James Roddy, convicted of the mur der of David Berkey, would be argued this week, but the court stenographer has not yet filed a transcript of the testi mony, and counsel for the defendants are not willing to proceed until this has been done. It is probable therefore that argu ment will be postponed until the next regular term, which meets on February 22d. t Emma M wife of Harry Saylor, de parted this life at her home near Lavans ville, on Friday, January 22d, aged 24 years. Death resulted from grip, which developed an affection of the lung. She leaves a husband and one son, and a host of friend to mourn hex death. Mrs. Saylor was highly respected in the com munity in which she lived. She was a consistent member of the Lavansville Lutheran church. The funeral took place on Sunday, Rev. Gebhart officiating, as sisted by Elder Hull. Peter Hauger, one of Brothers valley's most venerable citizens, notice of whose serious illness was made in last week's Heralr, passed from earth on Friday last, at the rip age of eighty-ooe years. He is survived by his wife and one son Joseph Hauger and by one daughter -Mr. Joseph Mason. The funeral took place ou Sunday, and was attended by a lirge concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Deceased wasoneof tbeni"tF' foremo-it fanners and citizens. A mau of strong intellect and sound judgment, his counsel was eagerly sought by his neigh bors to whom bis death comes as a per sonal bereavement. The many Somerset county frieuds and acquaintances of Mrs. R. D. Brownfield, formerly Miss Lillie. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Robert Walter, formerly of this place, 'will be pained to learn of ber death, which occurred at her home in Wel lington. Kansas, on Sunday night. The cause of ber death is not known here, al though her sister M rs. R, R. Roberts kail ba notified of ber sickness ten days ago, and received later advices to the effect that she waa improving and would recover. Mrs. Brownfiejd waa about 32 year of age and was a genera1 favorite wherever she was known. Her pareots recently removed from Kansas to Illinois. lrvin Biesecker, of Janoer township, had a narrow escape from a horrible death one day last week. Biesecker waa iipJoyed at undermining coal in the joudr iVine and neglected "propping ln tench." He was lying directly under it and w hen he uoticed the coal breaking loose from the roor be tjukkly rosd over to get out of the way. He was Dot quick enough, however, and was caught under lite heavy weight. Fortunately the fall Ml the buf block of coal was arrested by heap ot slack, tbitfc allowing Biesecker a space of igbt inches to ) iu. Ed Gondor, who waa the only persou wit nessing the scene, raised the coal as aoo as possible and took Biesecker to the house. Dr. C. F. Livengood, who was quickly summoned, said Bie4-ker re ceived internal and external injuries, but no booes are broken. As the patient cannot be moved the fear is that his in jury may ptove very serious, bat we hope not fatal. Big 2al la Coal baada. The estate of J. 8. Taney, in Paint township, was sold at public sale, Thurs day afternoon, to J. 8. Cunningham, of Tyrone, agent of the Berwind-White Company, for fl,400. There are forty eight acres in the tract, which is under laid with coal. Another and larger deal for coal land in the same neighborhood was made eariior in the week, when Mr. Ounniofrham se cured one hundred and fifty acres of coal land, near Scalp Level, from the heirs of the late Daniel Weaver, for which he is said to have paid f 15,000 In cash. A corps of engineers are now employed in surveying the two tracts mentioned. Will Fronds for Ecr Children. Mrs. Mary McElfish, formerly of Rock wood, who was charged by the Anti-Cra-elty Society of Allegheny with abandon ing her 4-year-old daughter to the tender mercies of a boarding house, had a final hearju before an Alderman, on Saturday afternooii. Hrs. McElfish realized that the evidence agint ber might justify the charge, consequently be asked permis sion to plead guilty to a m vlified charge, that of negligence rather than, wilful abandonment. The McElfish children, a bright little boy and a girl, 6 and 4 years respectively, have been placed in the cus tody of a mission. The mother says that she has arranged to pay what she can towards their support until she is able to satisfy the Society that she can and will take care of them herself. Eepnblican Vomiaationa. Saturday's Republican primary election in this place was devoid of the exciting features that have characterized former contests for the nomination of municipal officers. The number of patriots willing to sacrifice personal interests for the good of the public was not as large as usual, there being no rivalry except for Burgess, Tax Collector and Street Com missioner. The following ticket was placed in nom ination : Burgess, J. H. Pisel; council- men, W. H. Welfley, H. S. Keifer ; tax collector, W. M. Schrock ; school direct ors, J. M. Cook, H. S. Kitnmell; street commissioner, D. S. Knee; judge of elec tion, A. II. Huston ; inspector, A. C. Da vis; high constable, S. P. Snyder ; audi tor, & J. McMillen. "Tucker" says that he was nominated for Mayor without having made a single pledge, and that he will appoint a cabi net, who will act with him for the best interests of the borough. There will be no friction in his cabinet, he says, unless it is over permitting things to run wide open on Fourth of July, New Year's and other holidays, when young America is wont to make noisy demonstrations. "Tucker" has always stood in with the boys and he will not deviate from this rule when he is elevated to the most dig nified and important office in town. The following ticket was placed in nomination by the Republicans of Con fluence at a primary election held on Sat urday: Burgess, M. Henry ; Judge, T. B. Frantzr Iniector, W. C Dodds ; Collect or, W. E. Pullin ; street commissioner, H. Frantz; High Constable, Lemy Williams Council, G. W. Phillippi, Fred Koontz; School Directors, J. R. Bmwn, W. S. Mountain. The electors express themselves as be ing much pleased w ith the change of method, from caucus to primary, in mak ing nominations. The Republicans of Stonycreek town ship have nominated the following ticket to le voted for at the February election : Tax Colle-tor. F. F. Brant; School Direct ors, J. J. Reiman, Edward Walker; Judge, C. A. Will; Inspector, Geo. Ray man; Treasurer. W. J. Kecfcr; Auditor, Josiah J. Walker; Clerk. George Keefer. (Our correspondent failed to give the the names of the nominees for Supervisor. Er. HtRALD.) Good Uewi, if True, The i ittsburg Leader of Saturday evening contained the following of local interest : Thursday morning the first P. R. R. train passed over the newly made con nection with the B. A O. from Johnstown to M ox ham. This was Jhe first move in the game which it is said will eventually put a competing line into the coal lands of Somerset county, which heretofore have only been partially worked. In the past few weeks the Berwind-White coal company (the power behind the throne) has spent thousands of dollars purchas ing Somerset coal lands. The P. R. R. is also interested; for several years ago a spur was built from Johnstown to East Conemaugh and the company built bhe heaviest iron bridge on their system for the branch, as well as a handsome ware house at Johnstown. Both these moves caused much remark at the time. At present the company has a large force of surveyors working on an exten sion along the B. A O. lines. The Somer set coal is acknowledged to be the best mined for ocean burning and now in stead of going to Baltimore, the coal will be shipped, when the present scheme is culminated, to Pittsburg and Philadel phia via Johnstown. Shot For Aa OwL A strange accident happened in the mountains near Ohiopyle on Friday night, says the Connellsville Courier, Adolph Abbey and bis brother Christo pher went out into the woods as night approached to hunt foxes and raccoons. They separated with the understanding that they should meet at a certain spot. The hounds which they had with them to tree the game bad in the meantime started up a coon, which after a long chase took refuge in the branches of a tree in the vicinity of the meeting place agreed upon. Adolph reached the spot first and climbed up the tree with the intention of cutting off the limb upon which the coon was iu hiding. While he was partially hidden in the branches, up about 40 feet from the ground, Christopher arrived at the scene. He was carrying a shot gun loaded with buckshot. Seeing what he supposed was an owl in the tree he raised the gun to his shoulder and took deliber ate aim at his brother. Adolph aa his brother poiuting the gun in his direction, but he did not believe that he would pull the trigger. But he did,-and the cries of his brother told him how sadly mistaken he bad been in bis game. The wounded man did uot fall out of the tree when shot, but he received so deadly a load of buckshot that he was ac tually helpless. His brother, although, nearly distracted with grief, heroically bore him to the ground. A wny jn waa at once procured, and into this the wounded man was lifted aud brought to the Cot tage Hospital at this place. An examin ation showed that thirteen of the shot bad taken effect, some of which puuetured the lungs. Abbey's death was hourly expected the first day he was in the Hos pital, and none of the shot were extract ed, but be rallied and is still living. Jhere is a slight chance of hi recovery.

I Bsmsrkabls 7oats sf a Blind Haa. I Ira Beac hley, the blind merchant of Beacbdale, Is certainly a most remarka ble man, if one-half of his alleged per j formances are correct. When It Is re I mem bored that Beachley has been in j total darkness since early youth and that ! nrt special effort has Iteen made to de J velop his remiinlrv; fa-nilliea one is at a , Ions to understand bow Le has been able ' to acquire thu knowledge, which he un i doubtedly possesses, of modern disw ' eries and appliances. When the telephone line between Mey ersdale and this place was first construct ed Beachley manifested a lively interest in it, and a phone having been located in his place of business, he constantly kept his ear to the wire. By and by his invcut ive gnious asserted itself and he began to pry ii'to the mechanism of the instru ment that transmitted the voice of a per son twenty, miles distant into his ear. He soon solved the riddle and waa happy. One day he visited the Somerset office and learning that the phone was out of order, he hesitatingly asked "to see it." Persons present smiled at bis request, knowing that he was bereft of sight. - Beachley dexterously removed the front of the box and swiftly passing hii fingers over the delicate mechanism suddenly halted, remarking as he did so, "here's where the trouble is." In a moment he had adjusted the tiny little wires which bad become crossed, and the instrument worked perfectly thereafter. Beachley was the lessee of the phoue line for a brief porioj, and he is reported to have undertaken to keep the line free of obstructions, being able to locate th3m unaided. It was not an unusual thing for him to drive along the route aud cut off branches of trees that interfered wi'.h the working of the wires. H was gen erally.accompanied on the? j fips by a small boy. The blind merchant has long been ac customed to putting away and hitching up horses, and frequently visits distant parts of his father's farm unaccompanied. Two Somerset business men testify to the following story, which illustrates Mr. Beachley's fearlessness as well as his natural intuitiveness. The gentlemen re ferred to were hunting in the neighbor hood of Beachdale, when their attention was attracted by a dog, sitting in front of Beachley's store, which one of them claimed as his property. After a short d iscussion on of the men spoke to the dog, when th animal leaped into the vehielo in which be was traveling, showingevery evidence of greeting an old friend. The hunters started down the road at a brisk speed aud their surprise can better be imagined than described wheu a few min utes later they saw the blind merchant, mounted on a horse, galloping after them. Beachly overtook them and an angry dis cussion followed. The dog came on to Somerset. A (w nights afterwards one of the men who tells the story treated Beach ley to a serenade over the 'phone. Notwithstanding the darkness to which he has beem doomed, Mr. Beachley is of a sunny, happy disposition, al ways prepared to make a bharp retort to the sallies of his friends. Not infrequent ly he makes visits to distant part of the couutry, one of bis last excursion being a visit to New York City, made for the purpose of "seeing the Brooklyn bridge," as he jocularly expressed it. Upou re turning from a visit to the city Mr. Beachley is able to talk euUiUiningly of his trip, always coiicludini a description of an interesting object with "iMiwthat myself." Mr. Beachley's business career has becT marked with gmtifyin.-j success, and is another intsnce of a blind man over--mli. obstacles under which thousands of men with all of their faculties suc catr.b. Horror at Bedford. At 11 o'clock Saturday morning the frame bouse occupied by William Croyle. which was situated on the outskirts of Bedford, was discovered to be on fire, and before an alarm could be given the whole structure was in Haines. Mm. Croyle succeeded in throwing two of the children out of the window to the fathf r below. It is upposed she went back to get the other two children and was suffocated, for she disappeared from the window and was not seen again. When the dead bodies of the mother and children were taken from the ruins of the house nothing lsit the trunks re mained. The legs, arms and heads were burned off. The two-weeks'-old bahy, which was thrown out of the window, is so severely burned that it will probably die from the effects. Ta9 father was also burned about the best'.' aud arms. A Longer Term. Of school legislation at Harrisburg there will be three important features this winter. One hill to be presented '.most likely by Representative Hammond, of Westmoreland county, will be an act fix ing seven months as the minimum dura tion of a school term. This act is intend ed to benefit the country school districts. For auother thing the granger element will ask for a special appropriation of a half million dollars for township hlh schools. An act was passed in llO pro viding for the establishment of three kinds of tovt nship high schools; first, second and third class. The first-class s:hols are to have four-year courses; second thrtv-year courses, aud thin!, two year courses. The proposed act will ask tor a pro rata division of the half million dollars according to the classification of the school. With the State Treasury al most empty its chances of success are uot brilliant. The third bit of legislation is the Mer rick bill, presented in the Senate this w-6ek. It provides for the division of the school sppropriation iu three parts. One third is to be divided according to the num ber of paid teachers employed; one third pro rata to the number of pupils, and the remaining tnird ac-xrding to the nnmlr of taxable in the school district. The act provides for a triennial registra tion of taxable and an annual census of school children between the ages of 6 and 16. A GEEAT PUBUCATI05. he Philadelphia Press" A!anae 1837 Leads All other Soas Beaton Why. for "The Philadelphia Press" Almanac for ff.i is beyond question the most com plete, c;-mprt".iensive and valuable al mtiuac publication isaued by any news paper in Pennsylvania, and is in all re spects fully the equal, if not the absolute superior of the lt publications of the country. It is, in a word, worthy of the great newspaper whose name it bears. Lo -wl features are included in it. w hich have never appeared in any similar pub lication. A complete list of the judges and county officers of every county in the State is among these. It gives the official yote in detail for Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey.

Editor Hkkalu: I notice at the close of your article on the death of Miss Sadie Beat, In this week's paper, that the pnoplo of Meyers dale are "fully determined to seek out thse surgicad demons, who ki!l young girls at fifty dollars a head, undr the specious plea of 'hitting liioir shame."' That certainly is a very commendable determination, and we sincerely hopo they will carry it out to the letter ; for such criminal malpractice, wherever it can lie fcrreUsl out, ought to be prosecut ed to the utmost extent of I lie law, which wonld greatly diminish that sort of miir dcr. However, we can not help but think that the reform ought to begin one step further back. The indignation ought to burn against the principal in the crime rather than against the agent; against the man who sends the "beautiful young woman to the butcher" rather than against the butcher. The real criminal, the real murderer, is he who betrays the woman. And when once socioty arises in its virtuous might. as it ought, and brands the betrayer of woman as he deserves, this anguish, these heartrending agonies which now drive multitudes of "beautiful girls" to "surgical demons" or deliberate suicide, will no longer come into existence. For then will the reprobate demon have oc casion kt adopt the literal language of Cain : "And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth, me shall slay ine," ' I appeal to the fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers, who believe in social purity, will we not, in the name of our daughters, in the name of virtue, in the name of Almighty God rise up aud say, "These murders must cease."

M. U. HAUTZELL, ' Jan. 13, 17. bueriit w Highest of all in Leavening V ABSOLUTELY PURE The Fare Food Lav. The Philadelphia Islnr says : Judge Hemphill, of Chester comity, has decla red that the Pure Foo.l law of June 'JA, lSJlj, Is unconstitutional. A West Chester grocer was convicted, under two counts, for selling cottonsee 1 oil as olive oil. Ac cording to the testimony, the substitute was pure cottonseed oil, with no admix ture of olive oiL The act is entitled "An act to provide against the adulteration of food and providing for the enforcement thereof." Counsel for the defense claim ed that the act was unconstitutional be ctuse its object was not clearly expressed in the tiUe. The bod? of the act declared that a substitute of an interior substance was to be dtemed an adulteration, and the Judge was of the opinion that this definition introduced a new additional subject not expressed in tho title, lie, therefore, set aside the verdict, regretting thai he could not sustain the provisions ol the act, which was, iu iuelf, worthy, but he was compelled to ontrue a penal statute strictly. Thus it appears from Judge Hemphills decision that a man who sells cotton-seed olive oil is not amena ble to law, provided ho swindle his cus tomer outright by giving him no olive oil at all ; but, if he is conscience-stricken to the extent of giving tho customer a proportion of the anido lor which he paid, the dealer is properly a suhjuct for the penalties of th3 law.
