fit to
lute low im number of experienced teachers
at the end o! 25 years with the Normal
Schools in successful operation, indicating
a sad failure, and that something aerioua
must be wrong with it. Twenty-fire years
ago Tnscarora Academy, Tnscarora Semi
nary, Airy View, Professor Wilson's Acad
emy, at Port Eoyal, and the McAlisterville
Academy were all in successful operation,
with an average of more than 300 young
men and women, of school teachers, receiv
ing the advantages of an Academic educa
tion, while at present, excepting the Acad
emy at Airy View, now still nnder the man
agement of Professor David Wilson and
Captain J. J. Patterson, instead of 800 pu
pils in attendance at Academic educational
institutions there are scarely 50. To offset
this great lack of opportunities for instruc
tion, less than hair a dot en are attending
Norma! Schools. No censnre can be given
to the present teachers of the county for
not being better educated. They have not
the means. But tew can possibly go to dis
tant Xorni.il Schools, if they would, and
lhee have too little inducement, because of
the low salaries and short school terms.
He thought that the fact that 100 in 101
teachers employed were present was a com
pliment to both the County Superintendent
and teachers. Everything points to them
as an excellent and willing body of teachers,
needing the opportunities and encourage
ments to become efficient permanent teach
ers Legislation is needed to supply de
fects. Public sentiment will produce a
remedy. Twenty -five years is time enough
to depend upon the Normal Schools for as
sistance. A rapid progress and a bright
future may be expected.
Professor David Wilson, the veteran clas
sical teacher in the Juniata Valley, took up
the subject Now and Then," when the
Colonel left the floor. There are plenty
home-undo teachers who deserve high
merit lor their skill. In many cases the Nor
mal School graduates are rushed through
the course, in order that they may bold a
diploma whether deserving or not, and in

The paintings ia the vaults of Egypt are
still as bright, brighter, than the paintings
of this generation, and brighter than the
boasted paintings of Greece and Borne of
2,000 years ago, and all these things admon
ished him of the startling truth that all
things are old only by contrast. The old
things of Greece and Rome are only hair as
old as the old things in Egypt. From Ejrypt
he passed to China, and, placing himself on
the g-eat wall, which is 1400 miles long and
in many places as wide as the Court House,
he said to a Mandarin, This wall ia 2400
years oM.' -No," said the Mandarin, -it
is 23,00 years old ." They disputed on the
sge. but that was all ; and if the Mandarin
is right, all the old things in Egypt are
young when compared with the old things
in Chins. From China he came to consider
younger things. He came back in the rec
ord of nations to a period a short time after
the birth of Christ, to the time when ller
culaneutu and Pompeii were destroyed, and
he mentioned many of the things that have
been w ithin the past few years unburted in
those cities, such things as apparatus for
beating by steam fine glassware, and so
lorth, things that the wisest people in Eu
rope in the Middle Ages, and later still
claimed as new things. From the burred
cities and the interesting things ss unearth
ed recently he csnu; to America, and here
in this A"t land he found some old things.
Mauy of the stories that ue supposed to be
new are old ; they have come from the past,
lie cited a pedigree story of a family that
ran their ancestry back in this country to
three brothers, one of which was a sea
faring man. That is an old story, he said,
and many, many families in America have
that same old story as a family history, but
notwithstanding all such old things Amer
ica is the New, and newest, and the newest
is the best, lie discounted the past heavi

that he was not weaker than was Dr. Hig

failed to obtain higher wages, to strike.

Febmasaoh Tovrxsiup,

Editor Sentinel and Republican ;
W.-.th yo;ir porminsiou 1 will &ay a
word to Ely fellow-citizirtiS of Juniata
couutr on the subject of free couuty
bridires across the river. It is to the
highest financial interest that no free
bridges across the river be erected
or purchased by the county, for the
reason that the tax that will be re
qiured to be collected from the projv
erty holders in a population so small
as that in Juniata county will be a
burden that wiil become oppressive.
It is but a few years since Xlifilin
county went into the free bridge
business, and already it has cost her
the great bal!r of one hundred thou
sand dollars, and until the day conies
when her bridges will again be vaca
ted th"y will be a constant drain upon
the industry of every man that owns
a foot of property within her bordi r ;
and w hen the property holder is op
pressed ho hires less help, and in that
way the oppression is felt by people
that own no property.
fhe cost of repairs will be a great
drain every year, and the first cost of
the purchase wiil be equal to the cost
of the building of the Court House.
Bat the indebtedness cannot be de
creased like the Court House indebt
e Jne68 : repairs will keep up the ex
penses, and perhaps be like in Slifilin
couutv. increase instead of decrease
them. The three bridges in this county
could not be bought f'r less than
$00,00.). Men cannot bo made to
give their property away to the State
or county. They "must be paid for it.
If the population of Juniata county
is 18,000 it would require over three
dollars from every man, woman and
child in the county to pay the first
cost But the advocates of a free
river bridge at Mitflintown say that
only one free river bridge is desired.
So "it mav be at the head of the pres
ent movement, but Port Royal nnd
Thonipsontown people may think dif
ferently, and if a free bridge is crea
ted across the river at Mifftintown
why should the people in the vicinity
of the other towns named not have
free bridges. The time is here now
for the people of the county to send
in their protests so that the Court
may act intelligently in the matter
when the question comes Deiore u,
and know that the men that will have
to pay for the bridge do not want a
free bridge. I am" certain that the
men that will have to bear the bur
den of taxation that will be necessary
to create free bridges are against
the wrong that is proposed to be put
nrxm the sreneral public of the county.
Property in counties that have a large
indebtedness is never so valuable as
where the debt is small.

made no response. Fike then told him that
if be would not rido he should not follow
him. The man then took the back track
toward town. Snch movements were
enough to excite the suspicion of Fike.
Putting all movements together he conclu
