\ circular Las been issued to the
countv, borough and city superintend
ents of schools by Hon. E. E. Higbee,
calling two conventions of the officers
the coming winter, one for counties west
of the Alleghenies and the other for
the eastern part of the State. The

ern Pennsylvania will meet in Alleghe
ny, January 10, and continue three

The clothing firm of Wannamaker
/i Bro.vn, of Philadelphia, have just
discovered that they have been sys
tematically robbed by tneir clerk,
John /. ileiner, whose stealings for
the six vears he has been in the employ
of the firm are estimated at an average
of SSOO per month. He has confessed,
and is under bail for trial, with three

A Pittsburgh gentleman who has
just returned from the burnt district in
Michigan says only about half enough
money has been subscribed to afford
proper relief to sufferers, many of
whom are yet lying sick without suf
ficient shelter, bedding conveniences or
medicines. The cash subscriptions
aggregated about $500,000, while a
round million is necessary to afford
proper relief,
Burglaries and robberies are beooni;
ing very frequent in Western Penn
sylvania. Within the last few days
these crimes have been committed at
Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland county;
Lickingyille, Clarion county ; Hulton
station, Allegheny pqunly; Beaver,
Beaver county, and Portersvillo, this
county. The officers of the law should
keep their eyes on all suspicious look
ing characters.
Our to^ r q £o!ji}cil should instruct
one of the constables wf ib(»
to visit all parts of the town and see
that all vegetable matter left standing
above ground is buried. Such matter
left to decay above ground during the
ftoij and jvinter pollutes the atmosphere
and causes disease. Ijofifed last
winter that almost every member of
two families who lived near a patch of
cabbage that was allowed to stand and
rot during the winter, was attacked
with dipt&eria.
The Supreme Uourt, nosy io ees r
sion in Pittsburgh, rather astonished
the members of the bar a few days
since, by their most remarkable num
ber of reversals in the list of decisions
rendered. Considerable unfavorable
comment ?yas indulged in on the pres
ent state of the court# of our Common
wealth. Out of thirty-nine opinions,
there were no less than thirty-two re
versed on the day referred to. Every
case from the courts of Cameron, Lan
caster, Mifflin, Perry, Porter, Union,
Centre, Tioga and Blair counties which
appeared on the list was reversed.
—According to the Pittsburgh pa
pers, that city had 903 cases of small
pox and varioloid, between January
16 and October 20, and the d'soaae
seems to lie rapidly increasing. Dr.
Snively has been keeping an accurate
record of the per centage of deaths
among those who have not been vac
cinated and those who have. It shows
that among those who had been vac
cinated the death rate was a fraction
less than five per cent., and the vacci
nation marks of those deceased were
so indistinct that it was doubtful
whether there had been perfect inocu
lation. Among those who had not
been vaccinated the percentage of
deaths was fifty-nine. There couldn't
well fie a clearer demonstration of the
efficacy of vaccination.
—The terrible danger of trifling
with fire arms was horribly illustrated
in Cincinnati lately, when a young
man pointed an ''unloaded" gun at a
eompanionVho was his warmest friend,
and the piece was discharged, causing
instant death. Another case of 'playful*
ly pointing'a gun believed to be unload
ed, is reported from Franklin, N. J. A
young man picked up a gun, pointed
it at a young girl, and snapped the
hammer. The gun was loaded, of
course, and the girl's wound is believ
ed to be fatal. There would l>e one
way of stopping this murderous folly,
and that is to make it a rule when any
one, man or boy, "points playfully" a
gun which is not believed to be load
ed, that he shall be taken to one side
and have a gun pointed at him serious
ly, as it were, which is known to be
loaded.
—BURGLARY IN PORTERSVILLE.
—Early on Tuesday morning of. last
week, the store room of Win. Hum
phreys, in Portersville, this county, was
broken into, the safe blown open and
three hundred and fifty dollars, two
hundred of which belonged to Mr.
Humphrey and the balance to anoth
er man, were taken therefrom. The
burglars then went to Mr. "ll's stable,
hitched up his horse and buggy and
drove off. As soon as Mr. 11. discov
ered that his horse and buggy were
stolen, ho started in pursuit and traced
the burglars to New Castle, where the
horse and buggy were found in an al
ley back of the Court House. On his
way back to Portersville he was met
by a man who told him of the robbery
of his store, which he knew nothing of
when he started out in the morning.
The burglary is supposed to have been
committed by three suspicious looking
tramps that were seen loitering about
the town on Monday, and who were
very shabbily dressed.
—The Donaldson dancing case
which occupied much of the time of
the Erie Presbyterian Synod came to a
close on Wednesday evening, of last
week, the Synod u v a decided majority
voting against sustaining the appeal,
there being 73 against,2Q in favor, and
.'1 voting partially to sustain. Those
who favored the appeal did so from a
belief that tin; Eiulenton Church had
not proceeded in a proper manner.
One minister and two elders of the
Butler Presbytery voted to sustain,
and seven ministers and six elders
against sustaining. The following is
the verdict as entered upon the min
utes : "The Synod of Erie refuses to
; sustain the appeal of Heber Donaldson
, from a decision of the Presbytery of
; Clarion sustaining the action of the
I session of the church of Elmenton sus
; [tending him from the communion of
the church because they believe that
although the session of the Emlenton
church may have acted hastily in the
ease, their ac'.jon, nevertheless, was in
accordance with the constitution of the
Presbyterian church, the deliverances of
the General Assembly and the teach
ings of the word of Uod." Mr. Don
aldson announced his intention to car
ry the case to the General Assembly of
, the church which meets at Springfield,
| Ills., next May.

Fire Escapes.
The act of Assembly relating to this
subject is as follows :
SEC. 1. Be it enected, etc., That all
the following described buildings,
within the commonwealth, to-wit:
Every building used as a seminary,
college, academy, hospital, asylum, or
a hotel for the accommodation of the
public, every storehouse, factory, man
ufactory or workshop of any kind, in
which employes or o|)eratives are
usually employed at work on the third
or any higher story, every tenement
house or building in which rooms or
floors are usually let to lodgers or fam
ilies, and every public school building,
when anv of such buildings" are three
or more stories in height, shall be pro
vided with a permanent, safe and ex
ternal means of escape therefrom in
case of fire ; and it shall be the duty of
the owners or keepers of such hotels,
of the owners, superintendents or man
agers of such seminaries, colleges, acad
emies. hospitals, asylums, storehouses,
factories, manufactories, or workshops,of
the owners or landlords of tenement
houses or of their agents, and of the
Board of School Directors of the prop
er school district, to provide and cause
to be affixed to every such building
such permanent fire escape
By the above it will l>e seen that, it
is the duty of the school directors of
this town to provide for a fire escape
from the third story of our school
building. There is not much danger
of the building taking fire, now that
stoves are used for heating instead of
heaters, but still the directors by not
complying with the law may have
trouble. The penalties for failure to
provide such lire escapes are first, *3OO
fine, anil second, liability to an action
for damages in case of personal injury
or death resulting from the absence of
such means of escape.
TIMI Mjslcry »L llinl COIIICMHIOII
I have road the statement made by
the ghastly GuUeau, and it makes me
wish to (Jyd that, ho may have a fair,
patient trial. There are mysteries
ahoht this confession that I hope, when
ho fiuds the noose about his murderous
neck, ho may be induced and have
time to clear up.
It is, I believe, a fact, that between
the inauguration and the death of the
L'resident he was at Washington, re
duced to abject poverty and want,
i He was driven from boarding-house to
i boarding-house, until ho found him
self upon the streets without a cent.
Now, what I want to know is, whe.ro
lie got the means to lodge at the Kiggs
House, tako his meals and baths at
that costly hotel, and hire hacks, and
all that sort of things? Who lifted
bim out of his penury and armed him
for this horrible crime? And did
these benevolent beings know of the
purpose this wretch had in view ?
Let us «3Strain our senseless wrath.
The man must die. He courts the
gallows , but let us have all he knows
before the grave covers hiu dishonor *d
carcass. I). I*.

adage is—'train up a child in the way
you should have gone yourself.'
—An extra census bulletin just is
sued, giving the cereal production of
the United States by counties for the
year ending June 30, 1881, shows the
States which lead in the enormous
grain yield of the country. Illinois
may be said to head the column It
produces the most wheat, corn and
oats and rauks second in the produc
tion of rye. California leads in barley
and Pennsylvania in rye. New York
is first in buckwheat, second in barley
and third in rye and oats. The great
wheat States are Illinois, which raised
fifty-onejmillion bushels ; Indiana, forty
seven ; Ohio, forty-six; Michigan,
thirty-five ; lowa, thirty-one ; Califor
nia, twenty-nine ; Missouri, twenty
five, and Wisconsin, twenty-four. In
these States were produced nearly
tljrpp-fourths of the whole \yheat crop
of the country. Nearly a third of the
entire corn yield of the United States
was grown in Illinois, whose product
amounted to three hundred and twen
ty-five million bushels The other
"Teat corn States are lowa, which pro ;
duced two hundred and seventy-five
million bushels; Missouri, two hun
andtwo; Indiana, one hundred and

ihree million bushels; iowa, fifty;
New York, thirty-seven; Pennsylva

California and New York contributed
nearly half of the barjey Cicop ot the
United States, the former showing a
production of twelve and the latter
seven million bushels, while lowa fol
lows with four and Minnesota three
million bushels. Two-thirds of the
b«ckwheat thrown ip the United Statea
are credited to New York and Penn
sylvania in the proportion of four and
a half million bushels to the former
and three and a half to the latter. The
leading rve States are Pennsylvania,
with a oibp or' three and a half million
bushels, Illinois, three, New York two
and a half, Wisconsin two and lowa

The constant practice most women
have in caring for tho sick, makes them
often more skillful than physicians in
selecting medicines. The reason why
women are everywhere using and rec
ommending Parker's Ginger Tonic is,
because they have learned by that
best of guides—experience—that this
excellent family medicine speedily
overcomes despondency, periodical
headache, Indigestion, liver complaints,
pain or weakness in the back and kid
neys, and other troubles peculiar to the
sex.— Home Journal. See adv.
—LIFE AND WORK OF GARFIELD :
Embracing an account of His Struggles in
Childhood; His Career as a Soldier; liis Suc
cess as n Statesman , His Elevation to the
Presidency; His Dastardly Assassination. Ky
John Clark Kidpath, LL. I). Published by
Jones Brothers Co., Cincinnati. Chicago,
Philadelphia, Kansas City.
The life, public service and trairlc death of
Gartictd lurnish a record of more interest than
any chapter of corresponding length in Ameri
can history. Under tieatmunt ot a mastcily
pen,it expands to a naVratlvc In which the career
ol tlie student, the scholar, the philosopher,
the soldier, the statesman and the executive,
form a panorama ol the most instructive word
pictures known to our literature—a narrative
that will commend the study and admiration
of the world for evermore.
The author of the work hereby announced Is
one of the most eminent ol living historians ;
a ripe scholar, a thorough investigator, and
charming writer. His histories are known and
prized wherever English is the prevailing
tongue. 11c approaches this biography with
g more eloquent pen than any heretofore used
by him, because the subject is a i inspiration to
eloquence, to truth, to revi-rence, to all that is
admirable in humanity. A nobler theme lor
the modern writer can not be found.
It Is indeed fottunate lor the community
that au author so well endowed with every
qualification for the work lias engaged iu its
preparation. His naiue Is a guarantee ol
falslilul pcrlormanoc. Ills (lartleld Is that
which occupies the lnm>9t sanetu.iry ol the
American heart and appeals to its tendcrcst
sympathies; that teaches the bravest lesson*
lo our you ill and the noblest to our manhood ;
that irradiates from our nation tl glory a
brighter lial > than ever illumes the memories
of kings and potentates, or makes Illustrious
the conquerors ol States. His narr live is the
electric chain which transmits the wondrous
story ol endurance, triumph over obstacles,
:m Mini achievement, that will live iu the an
nals ol the world as long ;n virtue Is revered
and true nobility honored. %
There lire other works which pretend to re
count the same history. Most ol tlicin are
revamped from cheap biographies which were
made to Influence the Presidential Campaign
ol IS W O, und are not ol permanent value.
Others are dill more valueless, hiving been
hastily complied Irom articles in the news
papers and without regaid to pro
per verification or arrangement. Dr. Ki:!| alb's
book i?> lliorouglilv iiutheutie. Its facts are
derived from umloul ted authority and, as a
rule, from origiu.il sources ol inf'crination. It
should, and doubtless will, supplant most ol
tin? tradiy publications which have made (i.ir
lield their subject in profanation ol hi* fan e
and for uHichandise ol his memory.
