l- 't Lets to our citizens : Quite a num
Cer of instances could be mentioned, where
I .-t n-.s have, within the past two or three
?iirv s -:n thoir children abroad to be edu

a yrar, while their tuition at home would
lue e-.st thdu. perhaps, fifty dollars ; sim
J -y leeaac our Academy building was con

"ow, we subciit, would it not have been
"ach better if these parents had appropri

l-tr. which it cost, them over and above the
tuition, to the erection ot a first class build
'c; at this pliCe? Besides, had we tho
proper buildings, many scholars would be
Jrawn hither from other portions of the
country, on account of the pure and health
Kivinj a'.mosphere that ever pervades this
"'ouiituin region '-thus adding greatly to
our population, and largely increasing all
k"i is ul business in our midst. We hope
ths ereaion of a. lur and commodious

When a Officer Can Make an Ar
rest. A party tried at the recent court in
Montgomery county, for assaulting an offi
cer made the point in his defence that the
officer had no warrant for his arrest, where
upon the Court defined the? rights and du
ties of police office as follows :
An officer, as any private citisen, has the
ri'ht and it is his duty to prevent a Crime
without a warrant ; and where a breach of
the peace is imminent he oul't to interfere
and arrest the offenders; and when be sees
an assault committed he ought to make nn
anest and follow in pursuit, with nr with
out a warrant. Whenever the officer hts
the offender within his view at the time of
committing the offence he has the right to
make the anest with or without a warrant.
He has the power when the offence is com
mitted in his view, but, when he act on the
information of others he must have a proptr
authority. In this case the officer saw the
affray or fight, which was stopped by bis
approach. He had the right to arrest the
offenders.
Distressing Accident. The Franklin
Spectator of the 2d inst., contains an ac
count of the horrible death of Mr. William
A. Thompson, afortner resident of Clearfield
county, by the explosion of anitro glycerine
torpedo which he was taking to a torpedo
factory near that city. He had two torpe
does in the bujfy both of which had failed
to explode when tried in wells, but which
had been exposed to the weather for sever
al weeks, rendering theiu extremely liable
to explode. We clip a portion of the arti
cle :
The accident occurred about one mile and
a half out on the Bully Hill road; The
body of Mr. Thompson was thrown about
fifty feet from the place where the torpedo
exploded, and was lying terribly mutilated,
at the aide of the road, the left arm above
the elbow dissevered from the bod, and
missing. The horse and the fore wheels of
the bugiry were found about fifty yards
away which distance the horse had run
before he fell. The scene around showed
the terriSIe power of nitro glycerins The
al'terpart of the buygy was reduced to chips,
and a large portion of the axle not found.
One of the tire was hanging in a tree, some
20 feet high, and one of the unfortunate
victim's boots was hanging in another. The
main charge of the torpedo had entered the
left, side just above the hip, and death
must have come like a flash and without
physical suffering. The head and face were
not much disfigured, showing slight abra
sions, caused doubtless by the fall of the
body on the ground.

TothtCcntnty Commissioners and Sheriff

WnEREAS, The Fifteenth Amendment of
the Constitution of the United States is as
follows :
Section 1. The right ofcitizens of the U-
nitcd States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United Slates, or by any
State, on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
Sec. 2. That Congress suall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
And whereas. The Coneressof the Uni
ted States on tbe 31st day of March, 1870,
possed an act entitled, "An net to enforce
tlxeriyhtof citizens of the. United States of
this Union, and for other purposes," the
first and second sections ot which are as fol
lows : '
Section 1. Be it enacted Lu the Senate
and House of Representatives of the United
States of America, m Lonaress assembled.
That all citizes of the United States who are
or shall be otherwise qualified to vote at any
election by the people in any State, territory,
district, eounty.city.parisb, township, school
district, uiunicipality.or other territorial jub-
division. shall be entitled and allowed to vote
at all such elections, without distinction of
color, race, or previous condition "vl servi
tude; any constitution, law, custom, usage,
or regulation of any State or Territory, or
by or under its authority, to tne contrary
notwithstanding.
Sec 2. And be it further snacted, lhat
if by or under the authority of the constitu
tion or laws of ao? State, or the laws of any
territory, any act is or shall be required to be
done as a pre requisite or quauncation ior
voting, and by such Constitution or laws
persons or officers are or shall be charged
with the performance of duties in furnishing
to cities an opportunity to perform such
pre-requtsites, or lo become qualined to vote
it shall be the dutv of everv such person and
officer to give all citizens of the United
States the same and -equal opportunity
nerform such urt-reouisite. and to become
qualified to vote without distinction of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude ;
and if any siich person or officer shall refuse
or knowingly qmit to give full effect to this
section, he shall for every such otrence, ior
feit and pay the sum ot five hundred dollars
m ih nsrsnn aggrieved thereby, to b! re
covered bv an action on the case, with full
nnsts and atieti allowance tor counsel iees as
the court shall dectn just, and shall also, for
every such offence, be deemed guilty ot a
misdemeanor, and snail, on conviction
thereof, be fined not less than five hundred
dollars, or be imprisoned not less than one
month and not more than one year, or Dotn,
it li .liTHtion of the court.
Avn Whereas. It is declared by the
second section of VI. article of the Consti
tution of the United States, that "This Con
stitution, and the laws of the United States,
which shall be made in pursuance thereof,
shall be the supreme law of the land, . .
. . anything in the Constitution or laws
of any State to the contrary notwithstand
i9" ,.
And Wuerea, The Legislature of this
Commonwealth on the 6th day of April,
1870, passed an act entitled '"A further sup-
pkmeut to the act relating to elections in
this Commonwealth," the tenth section of
which provides as follows :
Sec. 10. That so muck of every act of
Assembly as provides that only white free
men shall be entitled to vote or be registered
as voters, or as claiming to vote at any gene
ral or special election of this commonwealth,
be and the same is hereby repealed ; and
that hereafter all freemen, without distinc
tion of color, shall be enrolled and registered
according to the provisions of the first sec
tion of the act approved the 17th day of
April, 1869, entitled "An act further sup
plemental to the act relative to the elections
of this Commonwealth," and shall, when
otherwise qualified under existing laws, be
entitled to vote at all general and special
elections in this Commonwealth."
And Whereas, It is my corstitutional
and official duty "to take care that laws be
faithfully executed ;" and it has come to my
knowledge that sundry assessors and regis
ters of voters have refused and are refusing
to assess and register divers colored male
citizens of lawful age, and otherwise quali
fied as electors : t
Now therefore, in considerations of the
preuiiees, ihe County Commissioners of said
county are hereby notified and directed to
instruct the several Assessors and Registers
of voters thereof to obey and conform to the
requirement5 of said constitutional amend
ments and laws ; and the Sheriff of said
county is hereby authorized and required to
publish in bis Election Proclamation for the
ensuing elections the herein recited consti
tutional amendment, act of Congress, and
act of Legislature, to the end that the same
may be known, executed and obeyed by all
assessors, registers of voters, election offi
cers. and others ; and that the rights and
privileges guaranteed therein rur-y be secur.
ed to all citizens ot tne uommonwealtn en
titled to the same.
