THE HUNTINGDON. GLOBE.
Huntingdon, May 28, 41856.
LOCAL & PERSONAL.
To Samuel G. Whittaker and William
Brewster
Editors of the Huntingdon Journal :
Sirs : For weeks I have been the object of
your covert and cowardly attacks. The cause
is best known to yourselves. lam a private
citizen, without a medium for defence, but
through the kindness of other printers. I
read your follies and falsehoods but to blush
at their impudence and knavery. Duty as a
citizen, a man, and a professing christian,
alone compels me to direct the eyes of the
public toward you.
You, Samuel G. Whittaker and William
Brewster, are both of you members of the
'same church as myself. We have all made
a public profession of our faith in Him whose
injunction was. " whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you do ye even so to them ;"
Atid I have not lightly, nor unthinkingly com
menced the task I - now perform. I first
sought earnestly an answer to the enquiry,
how shall I best save from reproach the church
of my Master; by passively submitting to
your rude, unmanly, and maliciously false ac
'cusations, or by meeting you in your own
field, and trusting to truth to vindicate, and
prcitect the right, and to expose the wrong.
I have no revenge to satisfy. Vengeance is
not mine. I forgive your falsehood, but can
not forget your shame; and while I. forgive,
it is not my duty to conceal your crimes, either
from the community upon whom you live, or
the church which you disgrace.
You, William Brewster, was long since
driven from one profession for your mean- I
ness, or vice. The Medical Association of
this county expelled you as unworthy or un
fit
for the companionship of gentlemen.—
Money . purchased you position in another
profession, and you advertise yourself as a
"RAT" among printers. The past and the
present are yours and the public's; if the
future yields you a like harvest, infamy will
point to you as her model. Your juvenile as
sociate, Samuel G. Whittaker, sought and ob
tained admission into the American Order,
bpening its door with a lie, affirming as he
crossed its threshhold, that he was a man in
years, although he was then an infant ; decla
ring before the God he professed to honor,
that he was twenty-one years of age, when
his subsequent acknowledgment proved he
'was not. In such a Presence by, himself in
voked, without a tremor on the tongue, the lie
was boldly said. Both of you, master and
minion, seek to hunt me, as proper quarry
for your sport. Be it so. Such paltry kites
have so long flown at me, and the bay of
hounds has so long been heard behind me,
that they excite no terror. Here, once and
forever, I give you both a license to lie and
rail about me, till the "crack of doom," first,
however, giving the community another evi
dence, that the old man has lost none of his
meanness, and the boy still loves 'his lying.
In your Journal of the 21st inst., you use
the following language, viz :
"In relation to the " gentleman' which the
Globe accuses us of trumping up an account'
against, we.need only sa.y,-we know nothing.'
If Lewis has allusion to a third elass lawyer
'who once upon a time stopped his paper, and
plead the limitation law on his account, because
we would not urge his claims for an office, let
hint say-kk,,lf it is he, the old axiom would
very suitably apply to Lewis--:
When the devil was sick,
The devil a saint would be:
When the devil was well
Devil of a saint was be.' "
I here arraign you for the publication of
what you Knew to be untrue. Your denial,
that you intended this to apply to mp, would
be a meaner and more craven lie than the
tale itself.
Before the citizens among whom you min
gle and hope to deceive; and before that God
whose religion you profess, brit whose pre
cepts you disregard, and whose church you
pollute, I charge you both, as having, with
studious and malicious care, broken the ninth
commandment—with bold, unqualified, cun
iningly devised yet intentional lying. You
itell the lie, knowing it to be a lie, and intend
ing' it as a lie. No word or syllable ever
:passed between us upoit which you could
base :the charge; and I burn into your fore
heads the indelible mark of your baseness;
;and send you forth licensed to void your filth
?upon me, without let or hindrance. Saying
:to the people, that while I forgive your attacks
'upon me, I shall on all fitting occasions strip
-you of your ill-contrived concealments, and
..expose you to the derision of your fellows,—
to the scorn and contempt of corninunity—.
and .to the pity and commisseration of the
; good; asking but the judgment of truth be
,tween you and me.

A. W. BF.NEDICT.
MAX. GREENE'S LECTURE.—We attended
the lecture of this gentleman on Monday
evening, and must say that we were highly
delighted with it, and like many of those
present, could have listened to him all night:
We are sorry to say that the audience was
small, but that in attendance was of,a highly
literary and appreciative character, which we
hope will be accepted by Mr. GREENE as a
fitting apology for the slim audience.
(I'Mrt.s. HANIGAR, in an advertisement in
another column, gives notice that she has
taken rooms in the old Presbyterian Church,
and will give lessons on the Guitar, Melodeon
and Piano—and will also teach vocal music,
and the German and French languages. Since
her residence in Huntingdon she has been
highly successful as a teacher of music, and
has now some twenty-four pupils. We can
highly recommend Mrs. Hanigar to the con
sideration and patronage of our community,
with the assurance that she is well qualified
to teach the above named sciences. For
terms, see advertisement.
'NEW HOTELS.—The BROAD TOP Housr,,,
by Andrew Moebus, has been handsomely
fitted up for' the accommodation of strangers
and travelers. It is located at the Broad Top
Depot on Allegheny street. Mr Moebus will
be found an accommodating gentleman.
Mr . Henry Corn propst has also been gran
ted license for a public house at his residence
on Hill-Street. The house is large, and the
accommodations will be equal to any in
town.
ANOTHER Pic Nrc.—Tlic 2d male land fe
male Schools under the charge of Mr. LANE
and Miss HILDEBRAND had a joint pie nic at
the Cottage Grove yesterday afternoon. They
had quite a pleasant time of it, and returned
in the evening highly delighted with their
amusements, eatables, &c.
A GERMAN CLASS.—Several of our young
townsmen who ate anxious to learn the Ger
man language are about forming themselves
into a class for that purpose, under the in
struction of Mrs. HANIGAR. They will meet
one or two evenings each week. Those wish
ing to become members of and commence
their studies with the class, should hand in
their names to Mrs. H. during the present
week. We admire_ the "sweet German ac
cent," and are decidedly in favor of this de-
sign.
JOINED HER CHILDREN.-WO, learn from
the Johnstown Echo, that Mrs. Cox, the moth
er of the two lost children, has followed them
to the "spirit land." The stroke was too se
vere. She died of excessive grief. The gates
of Heaven have opened to her, and her spirit
is now in bliss, with those of her children•
The father is in a critical condition and may
soon follow them. How mysterious are God's
dealings.
DISCOVERY OF A CAVE IN BLAIR COUNTY.-
Max Greene, a correspondent of the Hollidays
burg "Register," who, sixteen years ago dis
covered what is known as Gost's cave, near
Frankstown, made another discovery in the
same locality„ on the 17th inst. In company
with Messrs, Rowland C. Richards, Josephß.
Shannon, and a lad named Robert Luther Ma
son, he visited the cave. After having grati
fied their curiosity by looking through the cav
ern, they ascended the flue, and within'a hun
dred yards came to the face of a rock which
looked cave like. After digging away some
dirt and roots, an opening was effected in
to an adjoining chamber; An aperture was
made sufficiently large to admit the body of
young Mason, who entered with a candle,
and crept along until he reached a room in
which he resumed a standing posture, and
announced himself "in!" The party guar
tied away until the hole was large enough to
admit them, when they followed, and found•
themselves standing in the vestibule of art
exceedingly beautiful cavern, with four cham
bers, the walls of which are decorated with
cellnlar and serrated stalactites.
SHOCKING SUICIDE.--We learn from the
Shirleysburg _Herald, that on Wednesday
morning, the 15th inst., Mr. WM. M'lwria.r. ,
aged about 50 years, residing in Black. Log
Valley, Juniata county, about 3 miles above
Mt. Pleasant tan factory, took his pistol and
went out into the yard a few feet from his
house and, as is supposed, placing the muz
zle of his pistol to the back part of his right
ear, discharged its contents into his head cut_
ting off the right ear arid causing a terrible
gash in his temple, causing, no doubt, imme
diate death. His wife having heard -the re
port of the pistol, paid no attention to it, - he
having been in the habit of going out in the
morning with his pistol to shoot at some dogs
that had been prowling around his premises
in the night time; but after a short time, have
ing prepared breakfast, she went out to call
him in, when, sad to relate, she found her
husband lying prostrate upon his face with
life extinct, the pistol lying by his side. He
leaves a wife and four children to mourn
over his untimely end. No cause is known
that could have led him to commit the awful
act. -
1:1:7•The piece of'poetry on the outside of
this"paper was written -by our esteemed
friend, MAX. GiiicNn, at the age of 15 years.
Read it and say- whether it is not a highly
meritorious production.

To School Directors : Decision No. 11, on
page 56 of the Pamphlet • copy of the " School
Law and Decisions," does not correspond with
the general practice over the State, and is also
found to he erroneous to some extentas a matter
,of law, inasmuch as it improperly exempts
"trades, occupations and professions," ofa less
value than two hundred dollars, from taxation
for School purposes. It was so regulated to cor
respond with the State tax on occupations, but
the 29th and 30th sections of the School Law
adjust the School tax to the County as well as
State tax; and as occupations under two hun
dred dollars arc not exempt from taxation for
County purposes, it follows as a necessary con.
sequence that they are liable to taxation for
School purposes. The various acts of Assembly,
with regard to County tax are exceedingly ob
scure and unintelligible with regard to the man.
ner of assessing the tax on occupations; hut
the soundest rule of practice to be gathered
from them will be for Directors to assess " oc
cupations" for School purposes at such rate per
cent., as the necessities of the District may re.
quire, not exceeding thirteen mills on the dollar,
except where the tax at the rate thus fixed
would not amount to fifty cents; in which case
it should be fixed at that specific sum, accord.
ing to the proviso to the 3Qth section of the
School laW.
Where the duplicate has already been made
out, Directors can recall and amend it accord

lar. The other tax decisions in the Pamphlet

to be received as authority by Directors.
