Our Common Schools. Through the
kindness of Hon. C. L. Pershing, repre
sentative to the State Legislature from
Cambria county, we have received a copy
of the report of the Superintendent of
Common Schools of Penb.ivania for the
vear ending June 1, 18G4. From it we
learn that the whole number of schools in
the State, not including the city and coun
ty of Philadelphia, is 12,5GG, an increase
on the preceding year of 405. The whole
attendance of pupils is 037,785, an in
crease of 3,286- Average attendance,
390.522. an increase of 1,800. Per cen-
turn average, .G2G ; the preceding year,
.035. Average length of school term,
5 months 17 days. Average cost of each
pupil per month, 58 cents, an increase of
8 cents. Whole number male teachers in
IStH, G,903; in 18G3, 7,270. Whole

schools, including Philadelphia, is 12,932;
and pupils, 709,930. Tho total cost of
the system, including taxes levied, amount
paid by Philadelphia, and State appropri
ation, was, 33,218,355. By examination
of the foregoing statistics, it will he seen
that the State has nobly sustained her
beneficent educational system, even amidst
the horrors and uncertainties of a desola
ting civil war. "

ExrLosiox op a Locomotive Four
Cambria County Victims. At 8 o'cloek
on "Wednesday morning last, engiu? No.
18 on the Pennsylvania Railroad exploded
while standing on the track near the out
er depot, Pittsburg. There were four
men on the "house" when tho explosion
occurred, namely John Good, conductor;
Patrick Doran, engineer; John Plender,
fireman, and William ltibblett, brakesman.
The "dome" of the engine was blown en
tirely off, carrying away the "house" with
it. The men were all blown off the en
gine, or carried away with the "house,"
aai two of them, Good and Ribblett, were
dangerously injured. Doran and Plender
were not seriously hurt.
The cause of tho explosion is a matter
cf mere conjecture. Engineers who ex
amined the wrecked boiler give it as their
opinion that the iron used was of an infe
rior quality, and that the boiler, or "dome,"
rather, was not properly braced. All
aSree that there was a plentiful supply
of water in the boiler at the time of the
explosion.
Good and Ribblet reside at Conemaugh,
this county, Doran at Wilmore, and Plen
der until a short time since resided in the
vicinity of Ebensburg. They were all
properly cared for, aud aie doing woll as
could be expected.
S. : Since writing the foregoing we
len that ltibblett has died from the ef
fects of his injuries.

Coal. The Hollidaysburg Standard
. . T1 1 -W . mm -m
says : "lao .bbensburgers, notwithstand
ing their residence within one of the
greatest coal regions of the State, have to
pay twenty cents per bushel for coalj and
bad measure at that."
And that's not the worst of it. Not
withstanding the fact, which is a fact,
that this is "one of the greatest ccal re
gions of the State,' our people are actually
obliged to send abroad for the major por
tion of all the coal they burn ! This is
simply by reason that energy and enter
prise have not yet been discovered here
in quantities sufficient to prompt the ta-
ing hold of and developing our own in
ternal resources.
If the "twenty cents per bushel" were
paid our own people, and the money so
kept "at home," (which would be domes-
ic economy,) we might be able to stand
the pressure. As it is, wo are doing a
osing business, first, ia countenancing the
carrying of other coals to this Newcastle,
and, second, in pajing an exorbitant tax
or the enjoyment of that super necessary
uxury.
Coal could and should be sold here at
ten cents a bushel. This will be the case
when capitalists from other parts, attrac
ted by its unequalled richness, buy up and
develop our coal-bearing territory. Not
sooner, we fear.
Suakp Transaction. The ITollidays-
burg Register gives the following illustra
tion of some of the beauties of the bounty
brokerage system : "A man enrolled in
Woodberry township, Blair county, au
thorized a substitute broker here to put in
a substitute for him, limiting the price to
the sum of Sl,200. The broker employed
another in Allegheny township to put in
the substitute, limiting him to 1,000.
The last put in a poor, ignorant fellow,
and gave him 0300. So that, out of the
01,200 paid by the principal, the substi
tute got $300, the first broker 0200, and
tho second 0700 I"
The Immortal J. N. This eccentric
individual, who has frequently visited
this town and addressed our people on
the War-Peace question, has become a
"mart jr." Wo notice by our Western
exchauges that J. N. recently made ap
plication to the Sheriff of Franklin coun
ty, Ohio, for admission to one of tho
darkest dungeons in his prison, and at his
own request was chained and placed
therein. lie has adopted this course, he
says, to assume the "pressure" upon him
self, and so save his friends from being
answerable for any bad consequences which
may or might result from tho course he is
pursuing.
A young man named Alfred Hill, a
brakeman, was accidentally knocked off
the cars at Conemaugh, on Monday of last
week, and run over by a locomotive. His
left leg was thereby 60 badly mutilated
that amputation became necessary.
Etchings. Capt. Samuel D. Pryce,
jr., of an Iowa company and regiment,
was in town for a day last week. He has
changed considerably in appearance, has
"Sam," since we knew him for a boy few
in years and of size about knee-high to a
grasshopper. Time works wonders, and
that was four years ago. "Sam" is now a
full-grown, stalwart man, abundantly able
to hoe. his own row through life. He
looks every inch the soldier, and is held
in high repute by his comrades in arms.
His regiment was originally assigned to
duty in the Southwest, afterwards served
with Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley,
and is now with Sherman down at Savan
nah.... Capt. R. Litzinger, Co. C, 209th
P. V., arrived home on Saturday, on a
short leave of absence. He is looking
well himself, and reports the rest of "the
boys" in tho same enviable hygienic con
dition.... Capt. J. C. Burke, Asst. Provost
Marshal for Cambria county, intends ta
king up his residence in Ebensburg the
beginning of the present month, when the
various squads of soldiers scattered thro'-
out the county will be rendezvoused here,
making this their base of operations....
The quota of this (the 17th) district un
der the late call as per the revised enroll
ment is 1,604, a reduction of some 700 on
the quota as first announced. Of this
number, Cambria will probably have 425
men to furnish.... The something-or-other
oil'company, with Mr. P. Collins as its
managing head, has broke ground in search
of petroleum in Allegheny township, this
county, a distance of about three miles
from Loretto.
On, tfie Snow ! During the week
just past, we experienced a continuation
of stormy weather unequalled in the mem
ory of tho oldest inhabitant. Snow fell
in extravagant quantities, and without let
up, from Monday morning till the follow
ing Sunday, and during all this time the
winds blew a veritable hurricane. The
result was, all the highways, byways,
streets and pavements in this section were
drifted up blockaded rendered impas
sable snow bound. The train on the E.
& C. Hit. made a single trip, on Monday,
and then stuck. As we write, it has not
succeeded in digging it way back here.
The mails and passengers to and from
Cresson were and are yet carried "on run
ners." The Northern mails came in and
went out once during the week. It is un
necessary to say that this plethora of snow
effectually put a veto on out-door business
and pleasure of every description. We
never saw the like of it of this week of
stcyrms and outrageous squalls. It beat
Banagher ton to one, and Banagher, you
know, beats the devil. We may add we
don't particularly desire to see the like of
it for some time to come.
With the really fine weather inaugura
ted with the present week, we mav rea
sonably expect a speedy resumption of
communication, by rail and otherwise,
with the world at large. So moto it bo !

LETTER FROM CO. C, 200m P. V. ALL -QUIET
EAIX, VAPOR, AND MUD REVIEWS DEATH IN
REGIMBXT nEALTH OF COMPANY.
Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
Meade's Station, Va., Jan. 23.
Dull and dreary is everything around.
Saturday, rain began to fall, and contin
ued so to do throughout the entire day,
until all things exposed to the weather
were as thoroughly saturated as their na
ture would allow them to be. Yesterday,
all day a heavy vapor rested on the ground,
and to-day, the clouds are again in tears.
Virginia mud is abundant, and answers
the purpose of the best of bootjacks.
About the only thing that relieves the
monotony of camp life is an occasional
review. These seem to be more plenty in
our own and the 2d corps than in others.
This day week, our brigade was reviewed
by Col. Matthews, of the 2d brigade, and
Brig.-Gen. Hartranft, commanding divis
ion. On Thursday, tho 2d brigade was
reviewed by Col. Diven, of the 1st. Both
brigades presented a very creditable ap
pearance. A division review was to take
place yesterday, but the weather spoiled
the arrangement.
Day before yesterday, the number of
deaths in the regiment was increased by
the demise of a member of Co. B. This
makes the total of deaths seven. Perhaps
no other regiment in the division can
show so light a mortality as this.
Many have been patiently awaiting for
the transpiring of that great feat by which
Lee was to astonish the world, but so far
they have waited in vain. A portion of
our army lay in the works for a night or
more, lately, in anticipation of the prom
ised event.
The health of the company is excellent.
Those who were seriously ill at my last
writing are rapidly recovering.

Mr. R. E. Sellers Dear Sir I think it a
duty I owe to you and the public generally to
state that I have been nfllicted with Liver
Complaint for a long time, and so badly that
an abscess formed and broke, which left ma
in a yery low state. Having heard of your
celebrated Liver Pills being lor sale by A. R.

to give them a fair trial. I purchased on

your favor of the 13th instant, I would say
mat tne sale ot sellers' Medicines has far ex
ceeded my expectations ; and in no case have
they failed to produce the desired efiect. The
Cough Syrup is a cure for coughs, colds, &c,
and the cheapness v.t the article places it
within the reach of all, which, together with
its emcacious qualities, renders it a universal
favorite. Not a day passes without numerous

Mr. R. E. Sellers It is from a sense of
duty, as well as with great pleasure, that I
bear testimony to the virtue of your justly
celebrated Vermifuge. I procured a single
bottle, and gave it to three of my children,
who had been ill tor several weeks. The el
dest was seven years old, the next four, and
the youngest eighteen months. The first
passed fifty-six worms, the second fortjr-sev-cn,
and the third a considerable number, not

been doing well, and are now in good health.
