A public meeting of the citizens of Hun
tingdon and vicinity, favorable to the Hun
tingdon & Broadtop Rail Road, will be
held at the Town Hall on Friday evening
the 14th inst., at the ringing of the Court
House Bell. Preliminary measures will
be adopted towards raising material aid
for the enterprise.

sent and address the meeting MANY.
TO OUR READERS.
We have disposed of a portion of our in
terest in the Huntingdon Journal to our
friend J. A. Hall, of this borough, who
will hereafter be associated with us in its
publication. Mr. Hall is a man of intelli
gence, strict integrity of character and an
unflinching and undeviating Whig, whose
connection with the paper, as far as the
department assigned to him is concerned,
we doubt not, will give satisfaction to its
numerous patrons and friends. He will
direct the principal part of the business of
the establishment and control its miscella
neous and general reading department;
while we will control, and be entirely re
sponsible for its politics, which will be pure
and unadulterated Whig, as we understand
them. The back accounts for subscription
will be payable at the office to the business
partner, so that subscribers will have no
more trouble in settling their accounts than
if the new arrangement had not been made.
WHIG COUNTY CONVENTION.
After due consideration it is thought
best to hold the next nominating Conven
tion of the Whigs of Huntingdon County at
the usual time, which is the first week of
the August Court. We have consulted
several of the Whigs of the county, who
very generally oppose the calling of the
Convention in June as recommended by
the Whig meeting held in this borough du
ring the last court. It will therefore not
be called to meet earlier than August. •
BROADTOP RAILROAD.—We, this week,
publish the act incorporating this road. It
has been signed by the Governor, and on
Tuesday morning last, one hundred dollars
was raised in a few minutes by contribution
in Huntingdon and sent to Harrisburg,
which will procure the charter. At the
meeting in the Court House on Friday
evening next, the preliminary steps will be
taken to effect the organization of the Com
pany, after which every person who may
wish to make a speculation, will have an
opportunity to subscribe to its capital stock.
It will be a splendid investment for Hun
tingdon county as well as'the stockhold
ers. The prospects of the road are now
flattering.

Spiritual Telegraph—Communica
tion with the Spirit World.
We have received the first number of the
Spiritual Telegraph, a paper published in
New York at $1,50 per year, and devoted
to the discussion and illustration of spirit
ual manifestations, or spiritual rappings, as
they are more commonly designated. The
device at its head is a dark globe, exhibi
ting a shadowy outline of the American
Continent and surrounded by heavy dark
clouds, through one point of which breaks
a cluster of rays which fall upon North
America. We had thought at one time
that independent clairvoyance was the
boldest stride that human aspirations could
ever make; but it, electricity and animal
magnetism sink into insignificance, before
the spiritual wire that dips its farther point
in the burning batteries of the skies. The
angel which Jacob saw, was engaged in
the vulgar exercise of climbing up and
down the ladder whose top was lost in
heaven; but now, at the end of near four
thousand years, despatches can be trans
mitted to the earth, from the world of spir
its without the intervention of such mate
rial connections. We can now converse
with our deceased friends through the me
dium of persons, who have the power to put
themselves in some kind of magnetic con
nection with their disembodied spirits.—
Messages are daily received from the
informing their friends on earth of the hap
piness they enjoy or the misery they suf
fer; and the wonderful faculties of the seers
of antiquity and the Witch of Endor are
fairly surpassed by the nervous or illusive
susceptibilities of American Yankees.—
Physical science having become nearly ex
hausted, inquiring minds are beginning to
wander in the shadowy realms of psycho
logy; and we shall be gratified to learn
their ability, to descend at any time from
their etherial contemplations, to the con
sideration of things earthly, with minds
such as wo should desire to find outside of
a lunatic asylum. There are plenty of
women, and probably some men, whose
minds, a message from eternity would very
considerably disturb—in view of which we
would advise, that the Spiritual Telegraph
be worked with great caution. A few
ticks, by the operator at the celestial end
of the wire, might very essensially jerk
some of the earthly batteries out of their
boots.
Whig State Convention.
At meeting of the Whig State Central
Committee, held at Harrisburg on Tuesday
the 4th instant, it was resolved that the
Delegates to the late Whig State Conven
tion be requested to assemble in Philadel
phia on the NINETEENTH DAY OF
JUNE next, at 9 o'clock, A. M., for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of the
Hon. Richard Coulter. Among the can
didates suggested for that office, the Hon.
GEO. CHAMBERS, of Franklin, Hon. Wm.
JESSUP, of Lycoming, and the Hon. JA3IES
POLLOCK, of Northumberland, have been
respectively named, either of whom would
do credit to the station, and receive a cor
dial support.
The meeting of the Judicial Convention
will take place a few days after the ad
journment of the Whig National Conven
tion—just in time to ratify the nominations
made at Baltimore, and open the Campaign
with an outburst of popular enthusiasm that
will cause a general waking up throughout
the entire Commonwealth. A State Mass
Meeting on the evening of the 19th ofJune,
in the city of Philadelphia, is also suggest
ed in several papers, to set the Whig ball
in motion. The idea is a good one. We
should be glad to see it carried into ef
fect.—Reading Journal.

Great Eruption--Magnificent Sight.
We have in our boyhood read and won
dered over the accounts of the eruptions of
"Etna and Vesuvius—we have traced the
last days of Pompeii in Bulwer's pages—
and we have read of the excavations of
Herculaneum, and other ancient cities; but
we have never read of anything to equal
the magnificence of the eruption now going
on from Mauna Loa, in the Island of Ha
waii. The latest accounts from the scene
of the fiery visitation are dated March 6.
The spectacle is said to be sublime beyond
anything of the kind ever witnessed. The
eruption exceeds in grandeur any of the
volcanic convulsions of Mauna Loa before
seen by white men on the Islands. We
subjoin accounts of its action from the Po
lynesian :
"We have received verbal information
in regard to the state of the eruption, as
late as to the 6th instant, from the leeward
side of Hawaii. At that date the light
from the flowing current was as bright as
it had been at any former period, sufficient
to enable a person to pick up a needle from
the ground at midnight, from which fact
the inference is drawn that the current is
still flowing on towards the sea.
"The current seems to have broken out
through an old fissure, about one-third
down the side of Loa, on the north-west
side, and not from the old crater on the
summit, called Moknoweoweo. The alti
tude of the present eruption is about 10,-
000 feet above the level of the sea, and
from the bay of Hilo (Byron's bay) must
be some fifty or sixty miles. If it succeeds
in reaching the ocean at the point suppo
sed, after having filled up all the ravines,
gulches, and inequalities of a very broken
country, it will undoubtedly be one of
the most extensive eruptions of modern
times.
"It would seem, from the last note from
Mr. Coen, that the stream had divided—
one part taking an easterly course towards
Puna—while the other took a northerly one
tawords Ililo. This may so divide the vol
ume of lava that neither branch will reaoh
the sea; but from the latest acounts the
northerly branch was still burning its way
through a dense forest; and if the supply
holds out long enough, it will naturally fall
into the course of Walluku river, and fol
low it to where it diseuthogues into the bay
at Hilo. We anxiously wait further intelli
gence."
An abstract from a correspondent's let
ter, in the Polynesian, is of so much inter
est that we copy it entire. A jet of la
va playing five hundred feet in the air,
must be indeed a magnificent and sublime
sight:
"By an accurate measurement of the en
ormous jet of glowing lava, where it first
broke forth on the side of Mauna Loa, it
was ascertained to be five hundred feet
high! This was upon the supposition that
it was thirty miles distant. We are of the
opinion that it was a greater distance—say
from forty to sixty miles. NVith a glass, the
play of this jet at night was distinctly obser
ved, and a more sublime sight can scarce
ly be imagined. A column of molten lava,
glowing with the most intense heat, and
projecting into the air to a distance of five
hundred feet, was a sight so rare, and at
the same time so awfully grand, as to ex
cite the most lively feelings of awe and ad
miration, even when viewed at a distance of
forty or fifty miles. How much more awe
inspiring would it have been at a distance
of one or two miles, where the sounds ac
companying such an eruption could have
been heard. The fall of such a column
would doubtless cause the earth to trem
ble, and the roar of the rushing mass
would have been like the mighty waves
of the ocean beating upon a rock-bound
coast.
"The diameter of this jet is supposed to
be over one hundred feet, and this we can
easily believe, when we reflect that from it
proceeded the river of lava that flowed off
from it toward the sea. In some places this
river is a mile wide, and in others more
contracted. At some points it has filled up
ravines ono hundred, two hundred, and
three hundred feet in depth, and still it
flowed on. It entered a heavy forest, and
the giant growth of centuries is cut down
before it like grass before the mower's
scythe! No obstacle can arrest it in its
descent to the sea. Mounds are covered
over, rivers are filled up, forests are des
troye4, and the habitations of men are con
sumed like flax in a furnace. Truly 'He
toucheth the hills and they smoke.'
"We have not yet heard of any destruc
tion of life from the eruption now in pro
gress. A rumor has reached us that a
small village has been destroyed; but of this
we have no authentic intelligence. Should
it reach the sea without destroying life or
property, it will be a matter of thankful
ness and almost unhoped for exemption.

Honolulu had gone to Howau to witness
the upheavings of Mauna Loa."

SYNOPSIS OF DECISIONS OF THE SUPERIN
TIENDRNT, &C.
Directors have no authority to pay the
treasurer more than two per cent for collec
ting school tax, under any circumstances. .
Trustees of a school house demised for the
use of a neighborhood or township for school
purposes, or of a school house erected by
voluntary subscription for such purposes,
may sell or rent the same to the school di
rectors, " for the same uses for which it was
originally granted to said trustees." If for
any cause there are no legal trustees, the
court may appoint.
. .
SchoolciireCtors have power to establish
schools of different grades in their respective
districts, and to require the scholars who
have attained different degrees of advance
ment to attend such school as is best suited
to the course of study of each. Every branch
of English education may be taught in the
common schools.
The law does not authorise a teacher em
ployed by the directors to collect additional
compensation from the parents, guardians,
&c., of scholars, nor can the directors author
ise him to do so, nor do it themselves.
Where it is desired by persons sending
scholars to a school to pay a teacher a high
er salary than the directors are willing to
pay him, they my either make a direct con
tribution to the teacher, or pay the same in
to the school treasury of the district, and the
directors can appropriate it to the purpose
designed. But no person can be compelled
to tnake such payment, and the school must
in every respect be governed as other com
mon schools are, and conform in all things
to the requirements of the school law.
The school law of 1899 constituted every
township, borough and ward in the com
monwealth existing at that time, into a sepa
rate school district, except where a borough
and township were connected in the assess
ment of county rates and levies.
If the president of a board of school direc
tors engages a teacher, without authority, the
contract is not binding on the district, but
if the directors in any manner recognise the
contract, by paying the teacher, or permit
ting him to go on with the school, knowing
that he has been thus employed, &c., the dis
trict is bound to pay him the salary agreed
upon, until he is legally discharged.
No person can be imprisoned for non-pay
ment of school tax. The law does not pro
vide any means for enforcing the collection of
school tax from persons who have no prop
ertTY(a school treasurer, contrary to the ex
press provisions of the law, keeps the dupli
cate in his possession until the expiration of
his term of office, the auditors in settling
with him should charge hirn with the whole
amount of tax, deducting payments and ex
onerations. By such palpable disregard of
the requirements of the school law, the treas
urer renders himself liable to the fullest ex
tent for the whole amount of the duplicate
not exonerated by the directors. Having as-
Burnett the duties of the office, the treasurer
is responsible for the duplicate, and can only
be relieved by fulfilling the requirements of
the law.
Directors are not personally liable for the
debts of their district contracted in the usual
way.
As to the liability of the district or its
property, there is in the mind of the supe:in
tentlent much difficulty in enforcing it. Al
though the question has not been settled by
any of the judicial tribunals, the superintend
ent holds, and has no doubt the supreme
court will decide, if ever the question comes
before them, that the property of a school
district used for school purposes, such as
school houses, desks, tables or books, can
not be taken by execution or otherwise and
sold to pay the debts of the district. The
common school system of the state is a part
of the machinery of its government. It pre
pares our youth for an intelligent exercise of
the right of suffrage and their sovereign duties
as citizens, and public policy and interest
will therefore not permit so important a
branch of the public service to be empeded
or thwarted to satisfy individual claims.—
The law, however, is defective also in not
furnishing an adequate remedy for the re
covery of debts due by a school district and
should be remedied.
A person removing from one township to
another is liable to the district from which
he removes for school tax assessed upon him
previous to removal, and no additional tax
can be collected from him by the district into
which he removes until the next annual as
sessment.
County commissioners are required by
law to furnish the directors of each school
district "with a correct copy of the last ad
justed valuation of proper subjects and things
made taxable in the same for state and coun
ty purposes." These subjects and things
are all taxable for school purposes and the
directors have no power or authority to omit
levying a school tax upon some of them, or
to add other objects of taxation to them.—
They cannot enter property on their dupli
cate not returned by the county commission
ers, nor strike off any property so returned.
But where a palpable error has been com
mitted by the assessor, they may exonerate.
It is not proper to exonerate the school
tax levied upon money at interest at the
time the assessment was made, but which
was paid previous to the levying of the school
tax.
The board of school directors and council
of a borough may erect a building jointly,
one story of which is to be owned and used
by the school district and the other by the
borough—provided, the schools are not in
any way interfered with or prejudiced by
such occupancy of the house, and it Is re
commended that the directors in all oases re
serve the privilege of occupying or purchas
ing the whole house whenever it may be
needed for school purposes.
A sub-district is not "established" and
cannot be recognised as such in a legal sense,
until its boundaries are entered upon the
minutes of the board of directors. Such en
try is necessary to constitute a sub-district,
or give it an existence.
