CENTRE HALE, Pa Juev-lat, 1870.
There will be no paper issued from
this office nest week—being 4th of
July week—in order to afford our
hands an opportunity to give vent to
their patriotism. This being an old
custom among all newspaper publish-
ers, we ask the Kind indulgence of
our readers for the omission. 2

perusal of our readers, and more par-
ticularly of Republicans.

The R. R. Troubles.
We last week made a note of the
fact, that there was some trouble at
Mifflinburg relative to the railroad.
From the Telegraph of last week, we
copy the following, which states the
grievances of that place:
br the adoption of the following
resolution by the Board of Directors
of the Lewisburg and Spruce Creek
Company, at Philadelphia, on the
14th inst, our subscription of $40,000,
the only one tendered in Union coun-
ty, was virtually rej ahd the new
terms are universaily regarded as op
pressive and contrary to previous un
derstanding, The Resolution is as
follows:
“Resolved, That, so soon as the
Engineer shall have completed his
survey and estimates, and the right
of way shall have been secured to the
Co., and sufficient stock shall have
been subscribed to py for the gra-
ding and fencing of the Road from
Lewisburg to the Summit beyond
Mifflinburg, the President shall adver-
tise for proposals for grading and fenc-
ing the road, and submit the same to
the Board, with a view to placing the
said line under contract for immedi-
ate construction.”
Mifflinbarg tendered a money sub.
scription of $40,000 and about half of
the right of way in stock, and grounds
for Depot buildings free, a sum re-
garded as sufficient to meet the ex-
essed demands of the Company.
I'heir refasa¥ aud the adoption of the
above resolution requiring the free
right of way as a bonus, the grading
and fencing to the summit, instead of
Mifflinburg, has put the friends of the
Railroad all to sea and created a spir-
it of hostility to Mr. Miller, and the
known enemies of the Road at Lewis-
burg, of the most intense and indig-
nant character. We learn a meeting
is contemplated for further action.

These men collected the money and
pocketed it, and with the exception of
Callicot—who is in the penstentiary—
none of them have been punished
further than being turned out of office.
One of them is still acting, and under
Grant’s imbecile adwinistration, many
of their successors will imitate their
examples—having been appointed—
not on account of fitness or honesty—
but because, like Butterfield and
Bailey, they. had. made the President

Ho! Where Are We Tending
Mr. Kurrz :—It was said, in an-
ciont times, and often repeated, that if
the people “will be deceived, let them
be deceived,” but they have no choice,
no chance to escape deception or op-
ression, unless the truth be fully and
publicly exhibited to them, and their
minds duly enlightened. It then be-
comes every lover of his country, when
tue Constitution itself is fixed on Lib.
erty as its corner-stone, to warn his
countrymen of the danger, whenever
he observes the smallest encronchments
on their rights and the spirit of the
times tending but remotely to despot
ism and tyranny, If there be a time
when a party prevail by artifice and
get control of the government, and
enact laws to compel men “without
distinction of color” and place them
on a perfect equality in their civil,
social, religious, and political citizen:
ship, with the Negro, in such a time,
and in such a conjecture, it becomes
every honest man, not yet drawn into
the whirlpool of political corruption,
to warn his fellow citizens against an
encroaching spirit of factions, who are
continually employed in aggrandizing
monarchy and aristocracy and in de-
preciating the people. I was led to
these reflections on reading a law
passed by the present congress, and
approved by President Grant, to carry
into effect the 15th constitutional
amendment, viz: “Be it enacted, by
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States, in Congress
assembled,” Sec. 3 declares, “That all
citizens of the United States, without
distinction of color, or previous condi-
tion of servitude, are entitled to equal
and impartial enjoyment of any accom-
modation, advantage, facility or priv-
ilege,” &e., &e., “by trustees, commis.
sioners, superintendents, teachers, or
other officers of common schools, &ec.,
&c., “by trustees of church organizations,
cemetery associations,” &ec., “this right
shall not be denied or abr.dged on any
pretence of race or color, or previous
condition of servitude.” You know,
Mr. Kurtz, that I wasan old line Whig,
that when that party beeame disunited,
I became a Republican, and su tained
that party's nominations-~thut I voted
for and supported the election of Pres-
ident Lincoln, also of Gen. Grant,
that I approved of President Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation as [ also
do of the thirteenth amendment, but 1
must admit that 1 had my doubts
about ‘he propriety of passing the 14th
and 15th amendments, and if submit:
ted to a vote of the people, I would
have voted against them. It is unfor-
tnuate they were adopted-—as they
will prove detrimental to the peace and
security of the Union of States, as the
distinction of color—of white and
black—-will ever exist, and no penal
law will ever prevent it. It is an in
born principle, implanted by Nature,
that there is a distinction to be ob.
served between the descendants of
Japheth and the descendants of Ham;
and the Mosaic history informs us that
in the division of the Earth, Ham and
his posterity dwelt in Canan and
Africa, and that the *“Isles of the Gen
tiles” were divided among the children
of Japheth, who inhabited the Mediter-
ranean, European, and Caucausian re
gions. Here we find not only a dis
tinction of color, but a division of coun-
tries, and separation of the White from
the Negro race, which the Great Ruler
of the Universe established, and that
the Negro race are held in servitude
by their brethern, and sold into slavery
as was predicted. Why this is so, we
have no right to argue. The potter
has power over the lump—nor has the
Negro a right to ask, Why made us
thus? Yet 1s is the imperative duty of
the Christian world, to ameliorate the
condition of these heathens and Pagan
tribes, and their descendants,” where-
ever found—and these United States
have been foremost in this mission—
the Negro slave was not only civilized
but Christianized, but now is free, if
that is a blessing to him? While their
owners were not answerable for their
situation, sustained a heavy loss and
many of them and their families re-
duced to want without their fault.
Pennsylvania did not act in this wise,
by: the abelition.actof 1794. The Ne-
gro is-elevated; and in many respects
has greater rights than the middle
classes of the whites enjoy, both civil
and political.
But we find in the Congress of the
Nation a majority in a spirit of despot-
ism, passing penal laws, to subvert the
rights of conscience, guaranteed by the
constitution to every man, in unitin
church and state, in this land of Liber-
as is clearly shown by the quotation
have made from the 3rd Sec. of the
act of Congress, which, in the language
of Seneca, shows “the despotic spirit
inclined to avail itself of spies, infor-
mers, false witnesses, pretended con.
spirac es, and self-interested associa-
tious affecting patriotism.” The em-
ployment of spies and informers is a
virtual declaration of hostilities against
the people. It argues a want of confi
dence in them, and a government must
be sadly corrupt, and unworthy the
confidence of the people, to require the
service of the vilest of the human race ;
so great is the unfortunate corruption
of human nature, that men have always
been tound to execute the more infa-
mous oftices when an administration
has thought proper to seek their co-
operation, and prepare them for the
most nefarious deeds which tyrants can
meditate. Will the church, its mem
bers and officers, submit this despotisin
of Congress to be practiced and their
pews and seats usurped by the Negro,
their devotions interfered with? ‘I'alk
of the Papal power—it is nothing like
the tyranny established in this land of
Liberty. Are we to yield up our do-
nestle and religious privileges to the
mandate of Congress? Shall we recog-
nize this congressional Ball and sub.
mit as slaves 2 T hese are serious (ues-
tions for the Retiglons communities of
Vo Tn a pls Mtr te polled,
ru irgies, and assert
our constitutional right to worship
God according to the dietates of our
own consciences, and in our own
way, in which no ‘human authority ’
can 1n any case whatever coutrol or
interfere with, in our so doing ? Let
the people arise and oppose this union
of church and state, which is intended
by diffusing & epitit of despotism.
Equally inimical to the constitution
and human happiness, is destroying
the legal limitations, undermining the
established systems, and introducing
manuers and principles at once degra-
ding to the human nature and preg-
nant to our Union of States.

Youdooism in Texas—Remarkable
Narrative of a Negro Phrensy—
Astonishing Actions.
On Sunday, 15th, day of this month,
at the farm of Mr J. Wright, lying two
miles east of Springfield, in Limestone
county, Texas, an old negro woman
named Jane, who, with ber husband,
lived on the farm, announced to the
rest of the negroes on the farm, some
eight or ten adults in number, that
she had just received a revelation
from God that the millenium was to
come on Thursday, the 26th day of
this month, and that the mighty “Ship
of Zion” would come-—water or no wa-
ter—and take all those to glory who
would follow implicitly the directions
she (Jane) would give them, she be.
ing, as she avowed, the chosen instru-
ment of God for their salvation. She
first preached a whole day to a large
congregation, and after having made
many converts she commanded them
to burn one-half of all their kitchen
furniture, clothing, ect., they possessed
—no baggage being allowed—which
they did in a mighty bonfire. She
next commanded them to cut up with
hoes one half of all their growing
crops, which they did, digging every-
thing up by the roots; much of the
corn was nearly wast high, and both
corn and cotton were good generally.
She then commanded that they give
away half their children, their wagons,
horses, plows and other farming uten-
sils, which they did, to several persons
living near. Then came a command
fr both sexes to entirely disrobe
themselves and pray and dance the
“Holy Dance.” which was inplicitly
obeyed. Many of the small children,
upon refusing to obey these orders,
were severely beaten, and ome man
who refused was nearly beaten to death
by the woman. They were then wade
to partake of what she denominated
the “Lord’s supper, the bread consist.
Horrible Cruelty.
An Insane Man Confined in a Cell for
Eighteen Years.
A deed which for fiendishness and
and atrocity, stands uoparalleled, has
just come to light in this eity. The
facts appear so strange and improbable
parties, we could scarcely believe it.
Yesterday morning several residents
of the vicinty of Fourth and Lombard
streets, waited upon his Honor, the
Mayor, and informed him that an in.
sane man was confined in the rear of
the cigar store, on the Northeast cor-
ner of Fourth and Lombard streets.
The Mayor at once detailed Lieut.
Thomas, who, with a couple of officers,
visited the locality named, The store
was kept by Joseph Hilligus, a man
of considerable means. In a squalid
den it eax scarcely be called a room
~—wns found a poor crazed creature,
apparently about thirty two years - of
age, sadly emaciated and literally cov-
ered with filth and vermin. It was
also discovered that his name was
John Hilligus, a brother of the propri-
etor of the cigar store. This unnatu-
ral relation had kept his poor demen-
ted brother a prisoner in this filthy
hole for the past eighteen years. The
appearance of the room (a small apart-
ment eight by five) was horrible to con-
template, and the stench arising from
the accumulation of filth of these long
years of the prisoner's confinement was
unbearable. There was a small win-
dow in the room, but this was so board-
ed up that light and air were almost
excluded, Immediately over this was
another room smaller still, in which
was thrown a mattress and a couple of
pillows, also covered with filth and
vermin. Lieutenant Thomas, at once
arrested Joseph Hilligus, and John
was brought to the Central Station,
and from there, by urder of the Mayor,
he was sent to the Almshouse. His
brother had a hearing before Alder
man Kerr, who held him in $5,000 to
answer at court. The Coroner in com-
any with the Chief of Police and
Io ae Miller, visited the house at
Fourth and Lombard streets, and all
unite in saying that they never before
beheld such a spectacle. The brother
alleges as his only reason for thus
t ‘cating his haif witted brother that he
ing of water and salads, and the wine
of water and molasses. Sh::a da lu-
man sacrifice was demanded, and ac:
its clothing wrapped it in a cloth, and
prepared to give it as a burnt offering,
and would assuredly have ddhe so but
for the interference of some present
who were not so insane. They were
then commanded to kill their dogs,
which they did to the number of ff:
teen, and after some two days—things
all the time going @@—they were or-
dered by their leader to eat of the pu.
trid carcasses, at wh'ch command,
they, for the first time, evinced a dis-
position to “‘go sow.”
While they were halting, their lead-
er endeavored to show them how to go
through a dorg.” but her stomach be-
ing of a different notion from her head,
escewed the repast, and speedily de-
livered itself of such wonderful mor-
ses.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr.
Isaac Durst, a gentleman living near,
and who had desired to stop the insane
proceedings before, but knew not ex-
actly how to proceed, told her hus-
band she was crazy, and to get a chain
and fasten her, where she could no lon-
ger do mischief. She at once fled and
was pursued, caught, and secured, and
at once the rest of her followers gath-
ered round, and seemed for the first to
become aware of the mischief they
had wrought. They thanked Mr.
Durst greatly for breaking the spell
Jane had thrown over them—went to
their now almost ruined fields and
commenced work agtin in good arnest
—the parties having kept and return-
ed to them their stock, farming uten-
sils, &e. They are now, however,
without the necessary apparel and
food to enable them to work success
fully. The excitement lasted some
ten days, and all that time no work
was done by these deluded creatures.
Until the confinement of the old
woman, every one of her commands
were obeyed, and, from what we have
narrated, none can doubt that if she
had commanded her followers to com-
mit murder among the whites they
would have to do it. In the case of
the negro man beaten, she command-
ed them to beat him to death, unless
he joined their band. But for Mr.
Durst, he wonld have been killed out-
right.— Fairfield ( lexas) Registe:.

Washington. June 18.—There was a
good deal of excitement in the House
to-day resulting from the presentation
of the credentials of B. F. Whittemore,
the cadet broker of South Carolina, by
Speaker Blaine.
Gen. Logan objected to Whittemore
being sworn in, for the reason that he
had disq alified himself from being a
member,
Mr. Farnsworth suggested that his
credentials ought to go to the Commit-
tee on Elections.
Gen. Logan said this man’s case was
perfectly familiar to the House and it
ought vot to be dignified by giving it
to any committee. The House should
dispose of the matter at once without
reference. It was then suggested that
the matter go over until next Tuesday,
to-day having been set apart for bills
{rom the Committee on Claims, which
was agreed to. Daring the discussion
Whittemore occupied’ a: seat on the
floor and listened attentively to all that
was said,

pletely throw them in the shade.

Negro Intellizenee.
It is rather laughable at times to
hear some of the advocates of negro
sutferage prate of the intelligence of
sambo. The following is a fair sam-
ple. It will be perceived that the
only correct idea the old darkie had,
was the estimate of Beast Butler's
character. We happened to overheara
conversation the other evening between
a couple of darkies who were discus-
sing (ye gods, what a discussion!) the
fifteenth amendment, when at the close,
the foHowing colloquy took place:
Young darkie.—"Look a here,

supersterious, and I don’t "xactly ua-
derstan’. De good book teels us dere

and dis here is the fifteenth, now, what

Old darkie.—( With a wonderfully
wise look.) “Why don't you know?

would'nt ax sich foolish questions.

Further Reduction of First class
Fares.
New York, June 24.—The rival railroads
announce a further reduction on first-class
passenger fares, to take effect to day. The
Pennsylvania Central and Great Southern
Mail Route announce the annexed list of
prices, and the Erie and New York Cen-
ral are expected to follow to-day. The
prices of tickets to Memphis are according-
ly reduced from $38 25 to $36 10; Kansas
City $1195 to $34 Quincy $33 10 to $23;
Cairo. 111,, $31 50 to $26 85; Indianapolis
$24 to $17. A similar reductian on the
same sliding scale has ben agreed upon for
through tickets to other points west. One
of the trunk lines— probably the Pennsyl-
vania Central —is said to be arranging time
tables for an extra special Chicago light
ning train, which is expected to make the
trip from here inside oftwenty-four hours—
twenty-nine hours is the guickest time
made by any regular expresses. Ifthe feat
be accomplished with satety and reliabili-
ty, the rite of speed per hour will be about
fifty miles. The general passenger agent
of the Southern inland railroad along the
southern senboard, is said to be arranging
a passenger fare price list, which will show
an average decline of from three to four
dollars on all through trip tickets to al)
prominent southern points.

Woodstock, June 18.—A German woman
living near this place on Friday night
broke her son's skull with an axe, as he
was eating supper. She then cutthe throat
of her little daughter as she tried to run]
from the house, after which she cut her
own throat with a razor. The son and
daughter may recover, but the mothe
probably will not. Pecuniary misfortune
had made her temporarily insane.
Taking Water
The Hudson River Railroad Company
have just adopted the English method of
giving locomotives water, a method at once
navel and very efficient, The company
recént'y constructed at Montrose station a
trough in the centre of the track one
thousand two hundeel foot long, fifteen
inches in depth, and eighteen inches wide,
and caused it to bo lined with sheet iron,
heavily painted. This trough is perfectly
straight throughout the entire one thous.
and two hundred feet. A short distance
to the north and east of it is u spring which
supplies it with water, the trough holding
sixteen thousand gillons, which ¢an be let
into it at will.
Locomotive No, 43, Ned. Sandford, en-
gineer, was noxt taken from the road and
put into the shop, where in un quiet man-
nor, skilfyl mechanics soon fitted her out
with an ingeniously formed pipe, curling
from the main hole: in the tender down
through the latter to a position inside the
hind trucks, where the pipe forms a half
circle, at the end of which is the nozzle,
which always points the way the engine
goes = Fastened to this nozz e is an iron
bar, which connects with a point near the
fireman's box, by which, when the loco-
motive comes to the trough, the nozzle or
pipe can be dropped instantaneously into
the water, while the train is running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. The nozzle
sinks to only a depth of two inches in the
trough, yet even at that depth, when the
onc thousand feet is passed over one thous-
and six hundred and thirty four gallons of
water will be found in the tender.
There are many improveraents connec-
ted with it, all the handwork ef Master
Mechanic Buchanan. He had been at
work experimenting since the 20th of May
last, and has always been encouraged by
Superintendent J. M. Tooney, who has
been a firm believer in the plan from be-
ginning to end. The first experiment in
taking, or as some engineers, say, “jerking
the water,” occurred yesterday morning.
The locomotive rushed over the rails, even
to which is the trough, at the rate of thirty-
five miles to the hour. As the nozzle struck
the water, the fluid rushed into the tender
with a roar like a young Niagara, and
when the trough was left behind the fire-
man found his tender full.
Every movement was crowned w th suc-
cess, and the locomotive later in the after-
noon was attached to the New York special
which left Poughkeepsie at 415 p. m.,
which train proceeded direct to New York
without stopping anywhere, a feat once
novel and giving promise of greater deeds
in the future. It is next proposed to locate
a trough between Catskill and Hudson, and
points in the Central road, so that in time,
trains aided by this process of stopping
nowhere for water, may run throngh to
Chicagoin twenty-four or twenty-six hours.
It is indeed one of the greatest inventions
of the age and must come into general use
on railroads.-- [Poughkeepsie Eagle.)

A Terrible Explosion,
Worcester, June 23.—An explosion of
nitro-glycerine took place here to day, at
10:20 a. m., killing Tunothy Cronin, and
injuring thirty other persons, none of them
dangerously. Twelve houses were demol-
ished and many others badly shattered.
The shock wus felt all over the c.ty. The
nitro-glyeerine had been smuggled into a
ear, and was intended for the Hoosoe tunnel.
The wounded were kindly cared for by
physicians of this city.
The man kilied was walking on the track
of therailroad. Nitro-glycerine was in the
last car of a freight train. Threecars were
demolished. Heavy bars of iron were
thrown a distance of nearly quarter of a
mile, and t eshock wa: distinctly felt at
points twenty miles distant. The loss is
estimated at $150,000.

THE BEST
For pointing rails, sawing firewood,
and all kinds of saying, such as
LATH, PALING,SHINGLES, &e.,
while for boring and mortising all kinds of
timber, including Fence Posts, it is to-day
without an equal. The time has come when
almost every Farmer wants a machine for
all kinds of sawing, mortising, &c. To all
I would say, dont buy before sceing the
LITTLE GIANT.
It has advantages possessed by no similar
achine, among which are
the following :
It is very small, light, and strong, -with-
SUL any. Ynpages gearing, is furnished
witha Fly-wheel for sawing and also one
for boring, king the motion regular
enough for ruilway or any other power,
without worrying the horses, It has: a
larger capacity than any similar machine,
being capable of sawing 8 to 4 cords of
w twice through, per hour, and boring
75 to 100 fence posts in the same time.
y@~It takes only two men torun itin
posts“®x Z@® It points aN kinds of rails
ready to put in the fence and mortises posts
ready to set up, at the rate of 50 to 60 per
hour. 2Z®No matter how crooked the
its are, it will mortise them with equal
acility.
THE LITTLE GIANT
Is always ready to run against any
similar machine.
Its superiority is established. It is impos-
sible to get out of order and there is no
wearing out to it, Fixtures for Sawing
shingles are always put on when desired.
Capacity. 5000 to 4000 pet day.
HE LITTLE GIANT was Patented
April 20, '69, and sold in every County
where it has been exhibited. For township
