MAN SuoT.—We learn that a man nam
ed Barfly was shot and seriously injured in
a disturbance which took place in Ilublers
burg, on the night of the election.
.REmetrous--Rev. Thomas M. Reese,
of Williamsport, will preach in the Belle
fonte Methedist Episcopal Church on Sun
day, Nov. Sth at 1.01 o'clock A. M. and 7
P. M. Services every night next week.
COL. GB EGG wishes us to say to the citi
zens of Curtin townsip that he regrets his in
ability, on account of the rain storm, to
make good his appointment at Mann's
School House on Saturday evening last, and
that if it be desired he will address them at
any future time agreed upon by them.
Our. POLICE.—Since the establishment
of our present police system our town is
fast making for itself a reputation for good
order. Indeed, we believe it will now com
pare favorably with any of our sister towns.
May we hope that its former record for noc
turnal riots and general ruffianism, will be
thought of only as a thing of the remote
past .
LECTURES—Can we not have a series of
lectures during the winter months ? some
thing that we may have cause to remember
with pleasure. As will be seen elsewhere
the citizens of Williamsport have made ar
rangements for a rich treat, in the way of
lectures. Let us be kind to ourselves in
this matter.
Out?. friend Love was engaged for some
days in the latter part of last week, and the
begining of this week, in holding a series
of protracted meetings in the neighborhood
of Eagleville and Beach Creek. Now don't
understand us, as imtimidating anything
when we say, that he seems to enjoy it
muchly.
TUE new Bush building at the depot
is fast approaching completion, and we are
assured by the VanValin Bros., who are
the contractors for the plastering, that we
shall be able to get into the rooms intended
for the NATIONAL nest week. The speedy
completion of this building, will be owing
in no small degree to the industrial habits,
and general efficiency of the gentlemen,
named.
NEW STRBET.—We should like to see
completed, the projected street to lead from
the bridge, along Spring creek to Lamb St.
and, in time, to form a jnnction with the
turnpike opposite the Glass Works. This
street will be a great covenience. Mr.
Bush proposes to build a bridge from it, to
the stable attached to the new hotel, so that
parties having horses in charge need have
no fear of them being frightened by the
cars, although the house is near the depot,
since by this means, the horses see nothing
of the cars.
WE are glad to know that our people are
beginning to realize the importance of the
projected railroad from this place to Milroy.
The remarks we made in last week's issue
have had the effect of eliciting various opin
ions as to the proper route. Keeping in
view, distance, grading, and curving. We
are now in receipt of a communication
from a citizen of Harris township. whose
knowledge of the country, lying between
the points named, entitle him to a respecta
ble hearing. He asks "do we not want
the shortest and best route, and if so, why
then leave Spring Creek at Oak Hall, and
follow Cedar Branch. Why not follow
Spring Creek through Galbraith's Gap,
which cuts four mountains, to the Bear
Meadows, when there remains but three
mountains, all of wnich are cut by water
courses, except one small one ; thus short
ening the distance at least three miles, with
less cutting, and lower grades." In notic
ing the fact mentioned by us last week,
that it is proposed to run a line by Boals
burg, commencing at Sinking creek, he
asks "why not commence at Oak Hall at
once, and try the Bear Meadow route,
through the Galbraith's Gap of the moun
tains to the Bear Meadows, and thence to
Milroy ? Why spend mony and lose time,
on a route, which we know is of greater
distance, heavier grades, deeper cuts, and
shorter curves ; why not give the 'Gal
braith Gap route, a fair trial before spend
ing more money ?" We have given publici
ty to these suggestion, in the hope that by a
free interchange of ideas, the best ronte may
be selected. Several lines will of course be
run, before any one route will be determin
ed upon.
Oun ScuooLs.—lt is a matter of regret
that the Public Schools of the Borough are
not as usual in operation.
Seeing so many children every day idling
their time away in the streets . where they
learn so much of immorality, brings to our
mind the fact that this most precious part
of their lives is being submitted to the
most hurtful influences.
The new school building now in course
of erection, will be one of the most substan
tial and commodious buildings of the kind
in the State. It will be fitted up in the
most convenient and durable manner with
many new and useful improvements.
Although it, in all probability, will not be
completed by the specified time (Dec. 1.)
it is expected that with the increased force
of workmen now at it, that it will be ready
tor occupancy soon thereafter.
Suitable rooms, however, in various
quarters of the Borough are rented, and
fitted up, with the view to commence the
schools within a few weeks.
It is hoped that both parents and child
ren will appreciate the increased facilities
they will have in public education, and lend
their earnest support in making the schools
here, answer the great end for which they
are intended.
No oue should consider`the work of
training the minds of the objects of their
dearest affections, a matter of small impor
tance. If parents would reflect a moment
}how easily they would see the vast respon
sibility resting upon them. The united,
judicious, and well trained efforts of parents
and teacher will, with the blessing of _God
lead onward and upward to the way ()f wis
dom. Every parent nas weighty anti-re
sponsible duties resting upon him and a
- wise discharge of them will bring the best
%f results.
One of the greatest evils of our schools
we is the irregular and ttnreasonble at
te: idance of pupils. Parents do not give
su. Ticient attention to this point. Children
are often kept from school or sent late with
out any sufficient reason. If children are
ved to be absent, for insufficient rea
son, they are, virtually, taught to look upon
their school and its duties of quite seconda
ry importance.
If t b
. doing of trifling errands' the want
of des. 're on the part of the child or other
trivial tousiderationsiis allowec to interfere
with s shoot excercises or obligations, child
ren wih l assurdedly consider these objects
of para: meant value.
Their interest Will be diminished and
- their pr. rsress retarded in a proportionate
degree t the extent and frequency of the
infringe meat upon the claims of the school.
Of neotssity most of the instruction in

A SPECIAL entertainment for marksmen
has been arranged for Saturday, Novem
ber 14th, at Austin Hinton's, in Snow
Shoe. Thirty-five good turkeys, together
with a splendid target rifle valued at $35,
will serve as incentives to extra exertion
on that occasion. Fall in men, and in the
language of a revolutionary hero, "s-s-shoot,
I can't say fire:2
Now that the struggle is past, and we
are rejoicing in the success that follows
earnest eflbrte, let us not forget to render
honor to whom it is due. Wm. P. Wilson
the efficient Chairman of our County com
mittee, has since the opening of the cam
paign which is just passed, been unceasing
in his labors, sparing no effort which was
required for the success of the Republican
principles, which we claim are those of
right and justice. Ile has the thanl, of
his co-laborers, who unite with him in *re
joicing over our glorious victory.
AN effort is making to keep open the Re
publican Club Room in this place, as a
reading room, and a place for social meet
ings, on occasions which will not reqire the
use of Town Hall, or Court House. The
room will be well lighted and heated ; and
at all times supplied with a great variety
of the best papers in the country. The sum
required from each member will be very
small, combined with the immense advan
tages to be derived from such an arrange- .
ment.
WE are talking to the ladies, when we
s ay that Miss Mary L. Mcßride at corner
of Allegheny and Bishop sts., has just re
turned with a large lot ofthe loveliest hats,
and sweetest flowers, and taken all together
the most complete lot of Millenery goods
outside of Philadelphia. Velvets, feathers,
satins, silks &c., to infinity ; straw goods
of all varieties, London, military and Gre
cian bend hats. Indeed we are bewilder
ed when we think of all the beautiful things
comprised in her stock of new goods.
Pincking and stamping attended to.
LIE Republican headquarters in this
place was crowded until 1 o'clock on Tues
day night last, with those of our citizens
who assisted in achieving the glorious vic
tory. Speeches, songs, and general con-:
gratulation were indulged in to an unlimit
ed extent. Each one felt that he had
perfect right to rejoice, and he rejoiced ac
cordingly, and where is the harm in it.
We'll have no opportunity to rejoice over
another Presidential success until the re
election of Grant, which you know is four
years in the fulure.
COL. THEODORE GREGG, who, it wil
be remembered, is the authorized agent of
the NATIONAL, travels with his eyes open.
During the past week he has spent con
siderable time in the Snow Shoe region,
with which he is perfectly familiar. He
has given us several items concerning the
people "over the mountain," which, by our
lack of space are prevented from appear
ing. We have room only to say to those
of our friends who have a mania for hunt
ing,that they may feel sure of obtaining
excellent hotel accommodations with Mr.
John Uzzle, at Snow Shoe, or with S. & J.
BoWer, or J. P. Hite, of Burnside town
ship. The Colonel gladly remembers kind
attentions received at the hands of Mr. C.
R. Graham, of SnoW Shoe.
WE have seen within a few days, a doc
ument which we have no doubt was, at
one time, anxiously sought after by those
unfortunates who failed to regale them
selves by a sight of James Minks "danc
ing on nothing and looking up a rope."
It was, in short, the confession of Munks,
who, will be remembered by a few of our
oldest citizens, as the first man who was
hanged in Centre county. The confes
sion, which gives the particulars of the
murder of Reuben Guild, was - printed in
Bellefonte by W. Brindle, in the year 1819,
for the benefit of the family of flunks,
James Linn, Joseph Williams and James
Magee were the parties in whose presence
Munks signed the confession. This story
of ➢funks forms, possibly, the earliest tral
dition of general interest connected with
Centre county.
FIERCE FIGHTS.—On Tuesday evening
1 ast,while the town was crowded with "pol
iticians" anxious for "something to turn
up," a fierce assault, resulting in the death
of one of the combatants, took place in the
Drug store of F. P. Green, esq., A great
number of spectators crowded around the
place of conflict each loud in his expression
of sympathy. The struggle was as fierce as
death struggles usually are ; but as is usu
al, science combined with superior strength
proved too much for simple determination,
and the result was, that Frank was obliged
to remove his largest trout from the aqua
rium, in order to prevent its further rava
ges upon the large gold fish that has been
for some time sharing with it the admira
tion of all beholders.
R. R. which is to say railroad, and "this
brings us to notice in the first place" a fact
to which we have before referred, viz.,
tbat a railroad froni Bellefonte to Milroy
has been determined upon. It is conceed
ed on all hands, that this line will be a
great convenience, indeed that it is a neces
sity to our people ; while the feasibility of
the route has been shown to be beyond a
peradventure ; so that the building of the
road resolves itself into a question of time.
Some of our cautious people, jealous of the
interests of our town, and fearing that the
building of this road will make us simply a
way station on a line of road running from
Sunbury to Lewistown, have drawn a hor
rible picture of our future. They tells us
of our ruined merchants, of stagnated busi
ness ; and of a state of things, in every
way deplorable. They , picture our town
"fenced in" and having a gateway on
either side of it, to admit ofthe passage o
through trains daily. Think of our jolly
little town. being treated so ignobly ; we
can't endure the idea of it ; nor 'do we fear
its occurrence. Now a word to those who
find a melancholy pleasurejn conjuring up
these forlorn ideas. Some of you may pos
sibly remember this town as it was until
within a very few years, important only in
the imagination of its citizens, who for ma
ny years were so well pleased with the
place, and themselves, that they made no
effort for its improvement. In time the B.
E. V. R. R. was completed, and communi
cation by this means, effected with the
outside world ; strangers, in their wander
ings, occasionally hapened upon our snug
retreat ; they pointed out to us, our many
advantages ; their suggestions were full of
wisdom. We began to see that railroads
were a convenience, and that the B. E. V.
R. R. would be made subservient to our
interest. We have established manufacries
such as the Planing Mills, the Glass Works,
and are enlarging others, which without R.
R. communications would have liceu com
paratively valueless. The fact is, as
we have repeatedly said, that our Ovate r
power is unequalled in the State ; inex
haustible supplies of minerals easy of ac
cess ; and indeed everything which should
induce manufacturers with capital to come
amongst us. Our town is improving so
rapidly as to cause dizziness of the head to
him who undertakes to keep pace with its
additions, or to estimate their value ; and
this too, bear iu mind, when our connec
tion with Philadelphia and New . York is by,
a railroad sixty mileS longer than the line
which we propose to build to Milroy. Now
when our town flourishes as it does with
its present connections, what may we not

THE NATIONAL, BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1868.
OUR Academy is still looking up. Ev
ery desk in - the school-room is occupied,
and more furniture is being prepared. It
has become necessary to procure assist
ance in the teaching, and we are pleased
to learn that Mr. Hughes has secured the
services _of his brother-in-law, Mr. Luther
S. Roberts, of New York City, as his assis
tant.- Mi. Roberts, besides being a thor
ough teacher of the classics, is an excel
lent French scholar, having,made a special
study of. that language, and he will, we
understand, be prepared not only to take
classes in the school, but to give Instruc
tion, if- desired, to . others not connected
with the Academy. He is to be upon the
ground this week, and will begin his du
ties immediately.
NORMAL Scuoot..—At a meeting of the
State Teachers Association in this place
last year—the propriety and practicability of
instituting a normal school in this district
were discussed and urged by prominent ed
ucators of the State. The matter received
so much favor that a committee was appoin
ted to more fully investigate the matter,
since that we have heard nothieg of it, and
the committee which was subject to the call,
of the Chairman Mr. Albert Owen—has
failed to make any report. We feel it our
duty to urge all who are interested in the
promotion of common schools instruction
to take this into consideration.
Normal schools wherever they have been
instituted in the State have not only prov
ed eminently successful as schools, but
have yielded an invaluble infltMnce for
good in preparing teachers for the profesion,
who taking advantage of the inducements
offered by the state laws makes teaching
a life profession.
We sorely feel the need of this in our own
and sister counties and think that if seri
ously considered, sufficient inducements
can be offered to warrant the school de
partment in establishing a Normal school
in Centre county.
THE coal regions in some parts of the state
seem to be infested by gangs or ruffflani
whose very existance is a blotch on the face
of society. murders would see in their es
timation to constitute a pleasant pastime.
The following account of the latest murders
Ave clip the Subur' Gazett of 0ct,24:
MURDER NEAR MT. CARMEL.-Mr. A,
W.. - Rea, agent' for the Locust Mougtan
Coal and Iron Company, and superinten
dent for the Coal Ridge Improvement Coal
Company, was assassinated on his way to
the mines, about a mile and a half from
Centralia, Columbia county, nearly midway
between that place and Mt. Carmel, this
county. Ile received six shots, three of
which were mortal, From appearances the
pistol must have been placed to his head, as
the powder had blackened and burned his
his face. His remains were found on Sun
day morning, about daylight, some thirty
yards froth the roadside, by the citizens of
Centralia, who turned our en mass on hear
of his being missing. Mr. Rea was nnu•-
dered for his money, the assassins thinking
he was going to pay the men at the mines;
but in this they miscalculated, for they
were paid by the secretary of the company
on Friday last:. However, the murderers
must have got between $5OO and $l,OOO,
which Mr. Rea carried with him to pay
other company bills. They also took his
gold watch. This foulest of murders has
thrown a gloom over the entire community,
all alike emulating in effort and desire to
ferret out the demons incarnate. He was
one of the most exemplary citizens iu this
State. When will we be rid of the hordes
of murderers that infest our coal region?
COWARDLY.—We give below two letters
sent through the Post Office to J. C. Peters
of Unionville. They speak for themselves
and their authors, in such a way as to leave
no doubt of their infamy. We had fondly
hoped that the time had gone by, when
men could be found, so lost to all sense of
right, so entirely devoid of all manly prin
ciples, and so peculiarly gifted with mean
ness as to resort, for mere party purposes,
to threats, made too in an underhanded,
cowardly manner, with the intention of
influencing votes.
This neat, and commendable practice,
we have no doubt. was indulged in, by
many others of Mr. Seymours "friends."
But "the best laid plans of mice and men
gang aft aglee," and since with all the chi
canery, and low, scurrilous tricks resorted
to by the opposition, and may we not say
in consequence of them, they have failed
would it not be magnanimous in us to
content ourselves with a mild expression
of our contempt for them. But to the let
ters :
BELLEFONTE, OCT. 30., ISGS
J. L. PETERS—Dear Sir : Yesterday I
overheard a conversation between two Cop
perheads of this place in which you are par
ticularly interested. One of them stated
that he had been at the Assessor's Office in
the morning, when a man from your sec
tion of the country came in, and returned
you, fbr manufacturing lath without ta
king out a license. He said your name
was taken down and that the man in the
office asked what your politics was. He
was told you where a Republican. He said
be would put you through as soon as the
election was over, and make you pay migh
ty well for violating the law. After they
talked awhile, I heard one of them say that
if Peters was a Democrat now, we would
let him go clear and the other said yes,
if he would even stay at home and not
vote we would let him slip. After they had
talked awhile longer they agreed to wait
until after the election, to see if you would
vote, and if you did they would have you
prosecuted for violating the law. Some
time when I see you I will tell you the
man's name who returned you.
J. C. PETERS—Sir : I wish lb inform
you of one thing that is, according to Re
publican laws. You are bound to pay $lO
license for manufacturing lath and you
haven't done it ; but just as mire as you
come to the polls and vote for Gen. Grant,
just that sure you will pay $lO license for
for carrying on your business. You turn
ed around for money you said, and now
we will see how nmch more you will make
than if you had voted for right, honesty
and justice, and more than that, you must
pay a fine for trying to take advantage of
the laws. Just, as sure as you vote ihr
Grant, just that sure you will comply with
the statement I have made to yon. From
A BYSTANDER.
BELLEFONTERS KunoAD.—Our duty as
public journalists, as well as the interest
which, as individuals, we take in anything
affecting the reputation or welfare of our
fellow citizens, prompts us to animadvert
upon a custom which we must characterize
as very reprehensible. It may not be
generally known, that many of our gentle
men friends, who, when at home, e
models of propriety, who excel in all the
manly virtues, and indeed are selected by
fond mothers as exemplars worthy of mini
tation by their favorite sons ; we say that
it may not be matter of public noteriety,
that these gt.ntlemen, when free from the
restraint;; of home and friends, throw off
their self imposed appearance of stern and
unrelenting virtue, and don the festive
manner and jovial style peculiar to those
whose practice it is to enjoy the present
and "run their chances" hereafter.
We have been shown a letter from
Philadelphia, descriptive of the meander
ings of three or four of our townsmen, who
were there last week. Although the names
of these individuals are given in the letter,
we shall withhold them fot the present;
hoping that by a little friendly counsel,
they may be brought to see the error of
their ways. The amusement on ads
occasion was an unlimited indulgence in
edibles and bibibles to the serious detri
ment of theirstoMachs,- and ensuring, to a
dead certainty, a headachy sensation as, a
result. Irish brogue and peanuts formed
no small part of their entertainment.
Whisky straights; 'poetiCallY termed "ele
vators," were indulged in with a frequency
that was • positively frightful. Just think
of a programme like the following. Drinks
mad drireN ears and calaboose, beer and
benzine ; the whole followed, and pre
ceded by, as well as interspersed with,
cigars, brogue and peanuts. The climb
ing of sign posts which was not neglected,
was, we are inclined to think, induced by
the innumerable "elevators" with which
they had bathed themselves internally.
We have thoui,ht - that a simple mention
of this custom, so horrible in itself, must
so shock our people, whose attention is
called to it, that we may reasonably hope
it will never main be indulged in. Gen
tlemen, you will do well to remember that
"virtue is its own reward."
VOTING ON AGE—A Curious case: The
West Chester Republican of Tuesday says:
A question that excited considerable, atten
tion, arose in the Sadsbury District, at the
recent election. it appears that C. Pussey
Thorne, son of J. Williams Thorne, came of
age on the day of the election. The Copper
heads, anxious to exclude every Republican
ballot, challenged his vote upon the groubd
that he was not born until seven o'cloek in
the evening, at which the law provided that
the polls should close ! It was argued on be
half of the applicant—and correctly to—that
the law recognized no fractions of days—and
that he was entitled to vote even though he
had not been born until 11 o'clock and 59
minutes, p. m., on said day. The Demo
cratic election officers, however contended
that he must be between the age of twenty
one and twenty-two years, and that he
would not have reached that period until the
hour of seven had passed. in reply to this,
Mr. Thorne, senior, asked tho officers if
they recognized 305 days and six hour as a
year; and they replied that they did. He
then showed that six leap years had occurred
during the lifetime of his son; and further
mathematically demonstrated that he had
lived 21 times 365 days and six hours, and
had eighteen hours to spare. This rather
dtunbfounded the Democratic officers, but
they still declined to accept the brliot. At
three minutes befor 7 o'clock the Republican
Judge took the ballot deposited it in the
box, much to the chargrin of the very intelli
gent Democracy! The vote was perfecty
legal—as law does not recognize any frac
tion of days. it did not matter at what hour.

LECTURES.—Our citizens will be pl ease d
to learn that that the Young Men's Christ
ian Association have a rich treat in store
for us during the coining winter. The Lec
ture Committee have made arrangements
for a course of twelve lectures, connnenc
ing about the middle of November, and
continuing to the middle of April, at inter
vals of abo,ut two weeks•
The tickets for this course, which are
sold at the low price of live dams each,
not only entitle the holder to admission to
the whole twelve lectures, but also to the
use of their excellent library for one year
from Nov. Ist, 1865.
The tickets are now being sold on b half
of the association by Mr. James IL Gable,

The Western World knows that China is a
very largo country. in the main densely peo
pled; but few yet realize that she contains
more than a third of the human race. The
latest returns made to her central authorities
for taxing purposes by the local magistrates
make her population Four Hundred and Four
teen Millions, and this is more likely to be
under than ever the actual aggregate. Near
ly all of these, who are over ten years old, not

zation is peculiar, bat her literature is as ex
tensive as that of Europe. China isa land of
teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early informa
tion. It is observed in California that the
Chinese make great use of ihe telegraph,
though it there transmits messages iu English
