SENT INEL & REPUBLICAN
MIFFLINTOWN.
W4aeid7. Dec. 19, IMS.
B. F. SOHWEIER,
BDITOB AUD rBOrBIBTOB.
Bills are not offered in Congress
bj the dozen but by the hundred.
It is said that officers of the regu
lar army are much given to gambling.
Gexebu. McCooe, of York State,
was elected Secretary of the United
States Senate last week.
Last week one day, one hundred
and thirty-seven Philadelphians went
to Washington to do their utmost to
induce the committee that fixes the
time and place for holding the Re
publican National Convention to se
lect Philadelphia as the place, but
the committee selected Chicago, and
appointed the 3rd day of June, as
the tima.
The North American of a recent
date has this to say of surplus rev
enue. The Democratic signs are
not wanting that a large number of
Representatives now at Washington
are of opinion that as good a way as
any to get rid of that troublesome
surplus is to distribute it among the
people through the medium of the
Pension Bureau. Already a great
number of bills to that end have
been introduced, some of them pro
Tiding for an increase of the pensions
already granted, and others creating
entirely new classes of pensioners.
It is not likely that they will all get
through, but as the general sentiment
in the House is said to be favorable
to this kind of legislation, the pen'
eion appropriation is in a fair way to
be still further enlarged, unless the
Senate objects, the more so as such
liberality is always popular with the
masses, and as, moreover, the Demo
crats would like to have their share
of the soldier vote.
Thi North American of the 11th
inst., says, it is not easy to nnder
stand what possible connection there
can be between the aims and par
poses of the Central Labor Union,
which appears to hold meetings in
New York every Sunday and pass
resolutions, and the man O'Donnell,
recently convicted of the killing of
informer Carey. ltf would perhaps
puzzle the shrewdest of those who
attended the meeting last Sunday to
explain why they should have inter
ested tlit-mselves in such a matter,
but they nevertheless "resolved" that
the President of the United States
ought to interfere with the due coarse
of law and justice in a foreign coun
try. Of course, if these persons have
no other business on hand they might
as well pa?i resolutions on this as on
any other alien matter, but they cer
tainly should first change the name
of their organization. The Central
Sentimental Sympathy Society would
be far more fitting than any title al
luding to honest labor.
Pay for Slaves.
St. LoriR. December 6. Promir.nnt
parties in Texas will soon begin a
f-uit in the Court of Claims at Wash
ington to recover the value of slaves
emancipated during the late war.
Tl.e action will be based ohiefly on
certain clauses of the State Consti
tution which were approved and in
dorsed by Congress at the time of
the annexation of Texas and which,
it is claimed, make the United States
(iovernmeut liable for slave property.
The plaintiff in the case was a strong
and very pronounced Union man
during the war and the proposed
action is indorsed and will be push
ed by some of the best lawyers of
Texas.
Grant's Position Defined.
"General Grant's position before
the country with reference to the
Presidency is what it has always
been. He has never been a candi
date for political preferment by his
own aking. He did not seek the
nomination in 1868, nor in 1872, nor
in 1830. He never established a lit
iary bureau and never asked a man
to vote for him. The only position
General Grant ever sought waa a
commission as captain in a regiment
of volunteers at the outbreak of the
war. Every honor that has been con
ferred upon him has been unsought
and modestly accepted. No public
man ever engaged in political intrigue
less than he, and his ambition has
only been to serve his country when
called upon. He has retired upon
Lis laurels, and with his family a
round him in New York he is living
quietly and composedly, the first cit
izen of the greatest republic on the
earth. Should he be nominated for
the Presidency next year it will be
because there is a need of him and
not because he aspires to further
honors."
The Outrage on Miss Bond.
Hillshoko, IU., December 13. At
the opening of the court this morn
ing all the witnesses who were called
and sworn were instructed by Judge
Phillips that they must remain in the
room prepared for them or on the
street, as they would not be permit
ted in the Court room. The Court
room was densely thronged.
Miss Bond was the first witness
called, and was examined by Judge
Edwards, for the prosecution. She
recited how on the afternoon of June
29, 1882, after dismissing school and
while she was sweeping the school
house, she waa seized from behind
by a man who dropped through the
scuttle-hole from the attic of the
building. He choked her until she
was bl'nd, tied her shawl round her
waist nd then pulled her up to the
loft above. As she went up she saw
the face of one of the men in the loft,
and there" (pointing to John C.
Montgomery), she said, '-is the very
man. I will swear that is the face I
saw." She also noticed tlm. the oth
er man wore low-cut shoes and red
stockings. She waa taken up and
laid on a platform in the loft prepar
ed for her. She told the men she
would rather lose her life than her
virtue, and begged them to kill her.
One man remarked that waa easy
enough to do, and, taking out his
knife made cuts on her throat and
face nine in alL Upon this she lost
consciousness, and, on recovering, a
bout an hour afterward, she had
been ravished. One man was just
getting up, and she was outraged re
peatedly after that, being chloro
formed. When she recovered con
sciousness, about 1 o'clock in the
morning, she found herself lying in
a heap on the school-house floor be
neath the scuttle-hole. She dragged
herself over to the house of Widow
Pettis, where the two defendants
Lee Pettis and Dr. Clementi lived.
She told Mrs. Pettis that she had
been ravished by two large men,
wearing light shirts and dark pants,
whom she did not know. Clementi
and Pettis hesitated to take her home,
fearing her father might suspect
them ; but upon Mrs. Pettis offering
to go along they hitched up a team
and took her home. She told her
father that two men, wearing white
shirts and dark pants had outraged
her, and stated that her back was
very much bruised, and her knees,
arms and shoulders bore marks where
her assailants had grasped her. She
also stated that her wrist had a cut
which still remained, and, taking off
her glove, she showed the scar to
the jury.
On cross-examination by Judge
Thornton, Miss Bond stated that
she had seen John Montgomery but
once before the night of the outrage,
and then she did not know him.
She had never seen him since the
outrage until yesterday in the Court
room, and then immediately recog
nized him as the man whose face she
saw above her while being drawn up
into the loft She stated it was true
that she told different parties after
the defendants were arrested that
they were not the men who had out
raged her. Though it was true that
she had told Mrs. Pettis and her fa
ther only two men had outraged her,
she was now satisfied that there were
three men.
Several times during the examina
tion Miss Bond was taken very sick
and often compelled to rest She
was effected to tears while recount
ing her wrongs, and she bad to be
assisted out of the Court room. Her
identification of John C. Montgom
ery is full and complete. The other
defendants she could not swear to,
but the prosecution claim that they
will be able to connect them by cir
cumstantial evidence with the crime.
Teachers' Institute.
County Superintendent,' Welling
ton Smith, called the Institute of
teachers to order at 2 o'clock on Mon
day December 10, 1883.
Rev. Geo. Benaugh read a portion
of the 1st chapter of the Epistle to
the Hebrews and offered a prayer,
thus launched, the Institute proceed
ed to business by electing J. W. Kel
ler, of Mifflintown, and Geo. W. Rine,
Walker township, Secretaries, by ac
clamation. Prof. J. T. Ailmau and
W. II. Groninger were elected Vice
Pre s'ts. Upon a suggestion made by
the President of the Institute, each
of the newly elected officers delivered
an inaugural address. Upon the con
clusion of the "inaugural addresses.
Superintendent Smith addressed the
Institute.
He said there is a certain class of
people who continually antagonize
these annual conventions of teachers;
they are however, a class of people
who are not in sympathy with the
Common School Cause. This influ
ence is not great, but what influ
ence they do exercise is exceedingly
detrimental to the education of pop
ular opinion with respect to the
cause of our common school system.
It is an established fact that the
county institute is one of the most
effective agencies in promoting the
cause of popular education. Local
and personal prejudices are rapidly
vanishing before the progressive ed
ucational spirit of the present time.
A part of the time of the Institute
will be devoted to school room work
and the remainder to social inter
course. One hundred and twenty-five
teachers will be present Teachers
who will avail themselves of the full
benefits of the Institute will certain
ly bo strengthened in mind, soul and
body. Teachers often do not realize
the benefits offered by Institutes un
til they get back into their school
rooms. They should therefore be
zealous students during the sessions
of the Institute, if even they do not
perceive at the ti-ae the utility of the
principles or methods presented by
the instructors. It is only the inat
tentive teachers who receives no ben
efits. Teachers should remember
that upon them rests the responsi
bility of shaping public opinion. The
large number of teachers present in
dicates a successful Institute and we
hope that the present Institute will
be a decided advance on all former
occasions.
The instructors engaged for the
Institute not being present, the Pres
ident suggested that the teachers en
ter into a discussion of the following
topics. "Should a person who is not
well read professionally be allowed
to teach?" The question was ably
discussed by S. E. Harking, W. 1L
Groninger, J. W. Hibbs, A. Wilt,
Sunerintendent Smith, J. N. Keller,
J. W. Kenepp, G. W. Bine, and J.
T. Ailman. The conclusion reached
was that it is best for the teacher that
he should have a thorough knowledge
of school management and theory of
teaching, and be a reader and stu
dent of two or three educational pe
riodicals and have a general knowl
edge of the mental faculties, and the
order of their growth and develop
ment Moxdat Evxxino
was devoted to an address by Prof.
J. T. Ailman, subject, "Psychology,"
and to an address by Prof. John M.
Duncan, entitled, "How to make the
best of one's self. The addresses
were well received.
Tcespat MownxG.
Devot' ;al exercises were conduct
ed by Ecv. 'I. L. Smith. Mr. Mo
Meen, and Miss Cooper led the choir.
When the roll waa called quite a num
ber of teachers were not present,
which caused the President to re
mind the Institute that all absentees
at roll call are in danger of losing
the -wages for the day.
J. W. Kenepp read an essay on
tardiness and regular attendance.
His points were, 1st, the teacher
must make his subject interesting,
2nd, he must vim his pupils by his
personal magnetism, superior schol
arship and general fitness for the
teachers' work.
D. K. Kepner, asked, "How can we
secure the attendance of such pupils
who are kept at Lome by their par
ents to work?"
Kenepp said, "Visit the parents
and get both parent and pupil inter
ested in the school work.
W. H Groninger gave an interest
ing and instructive talk on the Beau
ties of Nature, 1st the students
of nature is he who inquires into the
mysteries of nature, 2nd, the beau
ties of nature do not exist in such
objects only as make impressions
upon the sense of sight but they ex
ist largely in the laws and principles
which exist in nature and mind and
control them.
After recess and music by the In
stitute, Dr. A. N. Raub, Principal of
the State Normal School, at Lock
Haven, was introduced, and deliver
ed an interesting talk on Spelling.
A certain class of reformers propose
to abandon the spelling book. He
objects, because teachers have not
time to propose their own spelling,
because many teachers are not com
petent to propose spelling of their
own. He said that the diversity of
text-books is too great Different
professions require different vocabu
laries of words. He earnestly advo
cated the use of the spelling book,
because in them you have a proper
selection of words, properly arranged
and classified either by eulogy of
sound or according to their use.
Prof. R. M McNeaL Superintend
ent of Dauphin county, was intro
duced and talked on Defective teach
ing. After the regular opening exercises

bells frightens the dogs. In Great

almost every owner of sheep. They
are useful for keeping off dogs and
foxe, the latter being very destruc

precaution is not taken.
