Mb. Villkrs, Lecturer, delivered " The
Funny People VTd Meet," in the Court
House, on Saturday evening, to an appreci
ative audience. Those who heard it are
profuse in their praise of his ability to de
liver low comedy. The dolorous looking
faces, the liappy expressions of counte
nance, and the modulations of voice in im
itation of human and animal kind, were hu
morous and pathetic by turns to such a de
gree that his audience was continually kept
on the stretch for fresh exhibitions of his
taler; in making faces, striking attitude,
and in iutouatiug his voice l:ke all creatiou
hat talks, laughs or sings. But he did not

forte is said to be in dramatic reading. As
Villers succeeds in delineatiug the common
every-day characters, that are to be met
with in every town, and towuship. Miss Kel
logg succeeds in delineating a grade of ex
pression that is more pretentions in its aims,
and grander in its impression. Quick
powers of observation have such people as
YUlers and Miss Kellogg, to see the low
cuuiody, and grand histrionic act in every

who pass through life, few see its humor,

Miss Kellogg will be succeeded by one de

Tbbodobe Tiltob,
on Friday evening, March 14, 1879. Of him
it may be said, as of the others, that nature
has been lavish in bestowing the rich git's
of quick and powerful observation, incisive
discrimination, and an earnest desire to
look into the "why and wherefore " of
things, which desire led him to look for the
FaoBLEH or Lire, which is the
SlBJi-CT
of his lecture, for the evening mentioned
above. The philosophic inclination led him
to bow at the shrine of Victoria Woodhull,
where he drank so deeply of the una hole-
some doctrine, that his lectures and news
paper articles became impregnated with it.
His ability to lecture or deliver a speech,
pleasantly, and forcibly, is a subject of ad
miration far all who have listened to him.

to accuse his wife of an indulgence in a

On the question of stocking the Juniata
river with California salmon, the Altoona
Tritmne of last Saturday writes: Tester-
day afternoon Mr. Seth Wet K, who has
charge of the State hatching house at Corry,
put into the Juniata river, at Rhodes' dam,
at the lower end of Hollidaysburg, fifteen
thousand California salmon. The fish
were nho-t two months old, from one inch
to an inch and a quarter in length, aud were
in a good condition considering the long
journey they had made. Few of them had
died. They are an exceedingly gamy fish,
and after they get a start can readily take
care of themselves. All of this school that
survive the vicissitudes of the stream, es
pecially the voracity of the black back,
alter a year's residence in the Juniata, will
seek the water of the ocean. After reach
ing the proper age they will return to the
spot where tbey were first planted, as their
spawning ground. We hope these small
fry may escape all their enemies and some
day return to give fishermen the enjoyment
of the tiniest sport in catching salmon with
rod, line and fly. This variety can scale
any obstruction in the river from ten to
twelre feet in height, aud by the time they
are fit to return to the headwaters of the
Junata we hope to see the Columtia dam
razed.

Ma. Epitob : In traveling through some

And further on, I find that great dissatis
faction exists in this dist:i L The ques
tion is not about the Bible in the school,
as we have not much to do with the ques

appears to be a "Ring" in the matter, and
the "Ring" was so well sugar-coaled tnat
the School Board had no diuicultv in swal
lowing it; but it appears to digest hard;
and gi itg some members of the board no
little trouble. So you see the question Las
come down as to whether to accept of such
schools as are forced npon us, or do with
out ; so a great number say, better do with
out. There is a bolt loose souiewbere.

Now, Mr. Editor, I take it for granted
that nothing speaks better for the elliciency

such is not the case, the machine is in bad

to stand aside through the working of a
"King," it bodes a dark day for our Com

CALVIN.
Tbe Altoona Tribune of last Satur
day says ; It had been whispered around
for several days past that an old man
named James Thompson, residing on
the Dry Gap road, about three miles
from this city, bad been robbed ofser-
ertl hundred dollars, but no one could
state definitely whether the report was
true or fal.-e. By accident a Tribcne
reporter beard of tbe affair, wbieh the
victimized party had endeavored to
keep secret in the vain bopo that he
would be the better able to get a clue
to tbe robbers and have them arrested.
The crime was committed about 8o'
clock on Monday night. Three well
dressed masked men entered hi bouse
and deliberately seized Mr Thompson,
bis wife and servant girl and bound
tbem securely. Tbey then proceeded
to ransack the house, turning every
thing npside down in the most bewild
ering confusion, securing for their troub
le some six hundred dollars in money.
Tbey also took from tbe old gentleman
bis revolver, when they departed, lock
ing tbe door after tbem and throwing
tbe key back into tho botue through a
window.
After the robbers had left the ser
vant girl remembered that she had a
pen-knife io ber pocket, which she man
aged to get ont and open, and thereby
severed tbe cords that bound her. Sbe
then released tbe old folks. Mr. Thomp
son said if tbe boar had been later be
would have fired on tbe invading party
bat be did not suspect that any one
would have evil designs npon him so
early io tbe evening. The money, it is
alleged, waa paid to him only recently
by Dr. S. C. Baker while another re
port is that Mr. Thompson was in pos
session of $1,000, of which he bad loan
ed $ ICO to a neighbor to aid bim in
commencing farming. The robbers un
doubtedly had a knowledge of tbe old
man's wealth and knew just bow to
make an attack and when. There is
not the least clue Io the robbers, un
less it may be found in three or four
well dressed men seen snspioionsly lurk
ing around tbe city tbe past two days.
