at Harrisburg for r üblic documents; and
also to several subscribers, clever fellows,
who replenished our ewpty purse during the
past week.
t? A press of advertising bas crowded
out the "Splinters and Shavings" prepar
ed for this week's Journal, and besides,
several other articles of more importance.
Our readers being all good Whigs or gen
erous Democrats will no doubt rejoice in
this evidence of prosperity, and readily ex
cuse the deficiency. After another issue
we will be able to present our usual
amount and variety of reading matter.
School Teachers Covention.
The School Teachers of our County
must not forget that on Tuesday the 22nd
inst., a Convention will be held in our Bor
ough, at which it is hoped- every village
and township—every school district, and
if possible every school will be represen
ted.
Teachers.! you who who feel the im
portance otyour vocation, and the respon
sibilities under which you rest,—you who
love your profession for its moral worth,—
you who feel the priceless value of the
seed you sow; and yet know how few there
are, comparatively, who properly appreci
ate, the School Teacher's tireless toil, his
thankless task and his patient persevere
ance. You must speak, and act for your
selves. You should control the empire of
teaching. You can do so with profit to
yourselves, your pupils, and your Coun
try; and you should begin now. Come
every one male and female, into this coun
cil. Let not Huntingdon County Teachers
be behind those of sister counties.
Mountain Academy.
It affords us pleasure to learn that this
new Institution is rapidly increasing its pat
ronage, having nearly quadrupled the num
ber of s'udents in less than a year. At
the same ratio of increase, it will soon
rank ab high in point of numbers, as in the
extent and thoroughness of its present
course of instruction.
Aughwich Collegiate School,
We had not space last week to notice
the approaching Examination and Exhibi
tion of this Institution, advertised in an
other column. The "School," in connec
tion with the Shiricysburg Seminary, now
numbers over sixty student, and is in a
very flourishing condition.
Daguerreotypes,
Blair k Burkholder are again in town,
in the Co. rt House, operating in the Da
gnerrean Art.
Their productions speak loudly for them,
as Artists of the first class. Ladies and
Gentlemen, of Hontirgdon, give them a
call, and examine their spechuens.
DIP' "'MUMS ABOUT"—the ITEMS is
loolting out for “ameettsin tracks."—Globs.
Ptercus says he dont know whether
the "Ingins" are about or not; but he
thinks the young man who could use the
columns of a newspaper to reproach and
slander a respects.bll female, might bo
chivalrous enough to insult or defame his
own mother—and is fairly entitled to the
"moccasins."
[CJ' The Whig milk furnished for the
Globe, begins to sour on the Democratic
atotuttoh. That party do not see why their
party paper shquld be edited by a Whig,
especially when the "oracle" ankh
. I —thtt man is sure , o loose
That fouls his hands with dirty foes.
17= Did the Globe learn how to ohoose
his serving -man, from the oharaoter of
11 , 4,c,i2m, as recorded by his “Oracle?"
For "Whachuw beat his dirty brains
T'adrance his master's fame and gains."
“Au Expose.”
Under the above caption, the last Globe con
tains two articles importing to he an expose of,
what the writers arc pleased to denominate, our
duplicity end falsehood ; envy, egotism, and want
of professional character. One of these articles
owes its origin to the somewhat noted young man
who controls the morals and theology of the Globe.
The other is signed by J. S. Barr, the teacher of
a public high school, in this borough ! They are
both singular productions, presenting some points
of resemblance, and some of contrast. The first
is hold and shameless; and yet, considering its
paternity, remarkable only for its moderation.—
The latter is bland end insinuating, and equally
noted for its Jesuitism. Dissimilar, apparently,
in tone and temper, they are, nevertheless. one in
intention, and not unlike in their effects—being
both harmless—et least as far es we are concern
ed—utterly harmless. We stud!, of course, de
cline formally answering tither. Unless the au
thors designed something more than insult end
injury to us, their labor is entirely lost. We are,
happily, above and beyond the reach of their as
saults—not because our position is so very exalt
ed, but because they are powerless to harm even
the most humble—a fact to which nothing but the
darkest malignity, or most egregious vanity could
blind them.—We need no defence; we desire
none. Our first "statement of plain facts" has
corrected their misrepresentations, defeated their
attempts to place us in an atitude of indifference,
or antagonism to the Teachers' Convention, and
accomplished all our purposes in its behalf. We
re-affirm the truth of that statement, and of every
word we have published in our paper, or uttered
on the subject; and wherein our asseilants contra
dict us, we leave, for the present, the question of
veracity to he decided by those who know the
parties. Should it, at any time hereafter, become
necessary for us to make a defence, we shall do
so, and show our readers abroad, who have been
guilty of duplicity and falsehood. in this molter,
the writers in the Globe or we; who arc envioes,
or in a situation to inspire that hese feeling in
others, they or we ; whose character end associa
tions are most consistent with the solemn respon
sibilities of the Teacher, or least likely to bring
reproach on his high calling, theirs or ours.—
They have challenged this comparison. If they
can compel ns to trace it, we:shall do so with
coolness, precision, and effect.
But perhaps they had some other object in
view, some other desire to gratify. Was it to cast
reproach upon the young lady, whom, without
truth, or reason, they have so gallantly dragged
into their expose, and politely called a fool? Did
they hope, failing in their main purpose, at least
to enjoy the satisfaction of reciting the low pre
jialices of the ignorant and rude, against this
nnoffending female, who is not only perfectly irre
proachable in her own character, hut whose rela
tives and friends are among the virtuous .d gond
of our town?—who, though a mere girl, just buil
ding into womanhood, has by her energy and in
dustry, qualified herself to conduct, successfully,
a large and laborious school, and who is now de
votedly employing her time and talents, and eve
ry energy of her life, to the high and holy duty of
rendering comfortable thelast days of an aged and
helpless grand-parent, and' an infirm, widowed
mother? Wes this a part of their ail ject? Al
low us to say, they have failed here, too, of their
magnanimous purpose. We do not live in an age
of barbarism, nor is this a community of ritffians
who will suffer individuals, bearing the propor
tions anti wearing the costume of men, to assail
with success, or even with impunity, the peace and
character of an innocent and unprotected female.
Besides the two objects referred to, we can not
discover, in this famous 'expose,' nay additional
motive of the writers, unless they designed to in
jure or defeat the cause against which they had,
in vain, tried to array us. If this was any part of
their purpose, (which we do not assert,) they may
possibly lie gratified to a very limited extent.—
Whether they designed it or not, injury to the
cause is the direct tendency of their conduct. We
are not, however, willing to think that it will stif
fer much in consequence. It has taken a strong
bold on the minds of prominent teachers through
ont the county. These will not he easily moved
from their noble purpose of meeting in council on
the 22d, to confer on the interests of the profes
sion. And we predict that the individuals who
would 'ruin, because they could not entirely rule"
the occasion, will themselves he astonished at the
array of educational zeal, professional talent, end
moral worth, it will call forth. We, for one, re
joice at the prospect, and will not allow ourself' to
believe, for a moment,that the 'fluttering of a pair
et wounded pigeons' can materially marr it.—
Time will show.
Canal Commissioners Report.
We have at last upon our table, the
Report of the Canal Board for the past
year. There is nothing about the report
to attract special attention. It is filled
with the statistics of the collecting and ex
pending of over a million of dollars and
shows that the gross receipts exceeded the
gross expenditures $867,470 19,—and
showing an increase of receipts over last
year, of a little more than one hundred
tfiriusand dollars. Perhaps some might
say that, the effort made by the Board in
this report to justify their conduct in the
matter of leasing of the Columbia Railroad
to Bingham, Dock, & Co., demands a spe
cial notice. We do not think. so. The
difficulty which arose out of, that transac
tion is now settled. The Supreme Court
have decided that the contract was illegat,
(if we understand what they do decide) and
the Board wished, asap old friend of ours
used to say, wanted to throw in a word of
contradiction.
L e ?' If we were compelled to chose be
tween the education that merely enlightens
the understanding, to the neglect of mor
ality and religion, and no education at all,
we would prefer the latter as infinitely the
less evil of the two.
Learn to Say No.
It is truly astonishing. that in the race of life.
where the millions struggle for the prize; and
where there is but one among the million, whose
life and race are not both n failure, (so far as they
saw and strove to gain their winning post,) that
so few see and learn what are the small things in
their course, which have not only impeded their
progress, hut frequently been causes of stumbling,
hove destroyed hope, and made them turn des
pairingly, cursing their fellows and their full. So
many running, and in such a race, they run madly
and without heed, forgetful, that it is the trifles of
nor life which make the final sum of its great re
alities—forgetful that it is the steady, careful, and
firm foot-falls of the successful, which secured
their triumph.
" But wisdom is justified of her children," said
lie who spoke as never man spake. How true is
it in the common place every day affairs of this
common place every day world. The heedless
anti the headstrong are meeting, at every step,
some little obstacle which first slackens their
speed, and finally stops their career. But enough
of this, let its come to the subject which forms the
caption to our article,—Learn to say No! What
we Item written, will answer for preface.
Learn to say No! Why is it, can you tell me,
readers, why that neighbor of yours, who toils so
unceasingly, up the heavy grade of the rough hills
oflife. always toiling—night and day,he delves no
yet prosperity will not attend him. Others, seem
ingly less industrious, le?,s careful, more waste
ful, aye, and it may be, less d,serving, thrive in
the external world, and win wealth, and often re ,
sown. Why is it ? The first does not know how
and when to say No,—the other does.
Learn to say No! Why is it, can you tell me,
why that young man who has lived in the atmos
phere of truth and virtue ; and trustingly presu
med that, that healthful atmosphere, should nour
ish and strengthen his hopes of happiness? There
is his companion, cool, calculating, and determin•
ed, though, perhaps, less worthy; has passed him,
and is now writing his name far tm on the pillar
of fame. The last had learned to say No—the
other had not.
Learn to say No! Mark those two maidens.—
Why is it, can you tell, one of them seeks to mer
it the friendship, love, and regard , of all, and in
ten thousand ways says yes, to please, when a
frank no would have won for her, jewels of praise.
The other would win your love and regard, be
cause she will first command your respect. She
has learned to say No ! and the thoughtless tally
brings to her cheek no mantling blush of shame;
her gay and laughing companion could not say
no! and she finds, too late, that the counsels of
conscience have been disregarded, because she
dared not to say no.
Learn to say No! How many would have long
since given up their habits of intemperance, if
they had learned how, and when, 121 soy no!—
Sow many, who bad abandoned their cups. would
have, until this day, rejoiced in their untarnished
fidelity, if they had learned to say no! How ma
ny children who have gone down to their young
graves dishonored and despised, because they bad
not the moral courage to say not How many
hearth stones, where the " cricket" should have
kept alive the holiest affections, have been desert
ed, and the demon of discord has driven connubi
al joy, filial affection, and paternal love, out into
a wilderness of gine, because the parties which
formed its circle had never learned to say no.
Learn to say No! We do not mean that any
should say no when conscience and truth demand
an answer in the affirmative. We do not mean
that you should say no, when virtue, benevolence,
charity, and human kindness require that you
should say yes. Learn to say no, when all these
suffer by assenting to some tempting lure. Learn
to say no, when pride, hate, anger, and
all the baser passions of our nature excite to ac
tion: then let the stern, unyielding NO of the true
heart, swell out boldly and free. Do en, and you
will live a better life, and :lie a better death.
Railroad Accident ,
On ono night last week as the fast pas
senger train was coming up some where
between Perryville and Newport, it ran
into and on to a slide which had come
down from the side-hill. Much damage
we learn was dome to the Locomotive and
Cars,—but what is of far greater conse
quence, several of the persons'on the train
were severely injured, who, and how ma
ny, we have not learned.
- Where was the watchman, whose duty
it was to go over the road, immediately
before the passenger train The manage
ment of the road should insure greater se
curity. But a day or two before, a slide
had occured we learn near the same place.
At the opening of the spring, and during
heavy rains, the places of danger from
slides, should be especially, and continual
watched. The hand-car should not pre
cede the train, more than twenty minutes
at the fartherest.
Temperance Convention.
We publish in another column, a call
for a Temperance Convetion. The call
!was signed by some forty or fifty good
Imen of the State, (and our own name ap
pears among the number,) but we lave
not published the names for want of room.
The friends of a prohibitory law aro urged
O. send a full representation: Hunting

ters m any good cause.
TUE aCtIOOL Alma
ry number of this excellent work is on our
'table. We have frequently
_pressed its
claims on the attention of the teachers of
the county. It costs but a dollar a year,
and should be inunediatelly, ,and eagerly
sought by every teacher not already sup-
plied with a similar publication. Mr. J.
S. Barr is the agent for this county.
[C:" The Social Meeting of the Sons of
Temperance, which took place in their
Hall, on Friday evening last, was well at

Ladies and « Sons" honored the occasion
with their presence. The different Cler

past, served up by friend MARKS, was duly
discussed, and the whole affair passed off
harmoniously and delightfully.
New Bridge.
Below we give the law lately passed in
relation to the erection of a Bridge across
the river opposite our town.
We are rejoiced to be able to say that
our Board of County Commissioners, act
ing in accordance with that spirit of liber
ality and progress which has ever charac
terized the County Board, have determin
ed to put the Bridge under contract imme
diately. Tbe Board, sympathising with the
wants of the tax payers, of that part of the
county which will be accommodated by this
Bridge ; and who have so long paid their
taxes, to build bridges elsewhere, resolved
that now was a fitting time to do them on
ly justice. If our county has anything to
be proud of, it is that wholesome spirit of
improvement which erects bridges, over
every stream where they are needed. The
Commissioners deserve the thanks of the
people of this county. But to the law, here
it is.

Be it enacted, ere., That the Commis

persons and approved by two of the Judges
of the Court of Quarter Sessions of said

and completion of said Bridge, so as afore
said, shall be deemed and held to be a
good and valuable consideration for the
aforesaid Bond.
Legislative News.
By some cversight we neglected so men
tion that, Petitions from our county in fa
vor of a Prohibitory Liquor Law, were
presented in both Houses by the members
from this District and county.
On motion of Col. Wharton, the House
took up and passed the supplement to the
Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company;
the same was subsequently passed by the
Senate, and signed by the Governor. It
will be found iu another part of our papa•.
The Bill to which we referred last
week, relating to• the Pennsylvania Section
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, was
refered to a special Committee upon the
motion of Col. Wharton; the Committee
were, Messrs. Wharton, Fritz, Merriman,
Struthers, and Strong, and they have pow
er to send for persons and papers. We
trust this Committee will act with prompt
ness and decision. Let the people of the
State know how their interest were be
trayed last winter, and if possible Why.—
Give us light and then if possible, prudent,.
and just, take.such measures as will, with
honor, save the people's thousands of dol
lars.
Strange as it may appear, it is true that
a few of the “Shave shop" institutions,
have been signed by Governor Bigler, two,
at any rate, and both of which ho vetced
last winter,—the Carlisle Deposit Bank,
and the Harrisburg Mechanics Saving
Bank. Is it the work of change.
In the lower Houso on Tuesday last, we
observe that several Sections to laws were
passed finally which affect the interest of
the people of this County, one relating to
Hawkers and pedlars,—ono changing the
place of holding elections in Dublin town
ship, another relating to improvements in
the Borough of Huntingdon. We do not
know what are the provisions of either.
In the Senate, we see that a bill has
been reported from the committee on the
Militia, accompanied with a lengthy report,
which suggest may reasons for the altera
tions proposed in the present Militia sys
tem. It repeals the present tax of fifty
cents, brings volunteers under the regula
tion of T'. S. Army, and to equipped eum
ponies appropriates out of the County
Treasury money for Armory purposes; and
in counties where there aro no such com
panies, no expenses for Military purposes
are incurred.
The Bill relatinu to the State Printing
was reconsidered by the Senate, and io
amended, that no person in any manner
connected with the Printing Offices in
Harrisburg can be superintendent.
In the House a petition was presented
praying for a change in the place of hold
ing elections in Penn township. Petition
for a prohibitory liquor law, are numer
ously presented for this and other coun
ties.

Professor 3. IL W. MeGlnnes.
Below will be found a beautiful anti
touching tribute of respect to the memory
of this excellent Christian gentleman, front
his devoted students, of Milnwood. This
is a becoming testimonial of regard, emi
t ently deserved by the worthy deceasedi
and highly creditable to the young men of
the Institution which has, in so short a
time, been twice stricken by the loss of its
beloved head. It will be read with mourn
ful interest by all who can appreciate the
high character of the lamented Professor,
or sympathise with the best feelings of our
nature.
A Tribute of Respect.
• At a meeting of the students of Miln
wood Academy, held in the Academy Hall
on Wednesday the 9th of February, 1858
for the purpose of testifying in sonic suita•
ble manner, their respect for the memory
of their honored and lamented Principal
A. W. McGinnes, A. M., who died on the
2d of February 1858.
On motion, N. A. McDonald, was called
to the chair, and James Fitzgerald ap
pointed secretary.
S. D. McPherson then arose and sub
mitted the following preamble and resolu
tions, which were unatimously adopted :
WHEREAS, it has pleased Divine Prov
idence to remove from amongst us, by death,
our beloved and much esteemed Principal,
' who ever discharged the duties devolving
upon hint, with much fidelity and devoted
ness, and ever endeavored to promote the
advancement of his I upils both in learning
and religion. As a scholar, education has
lost one of its most ardent supporters and
devoted friends, and society too, has been
deprived of one of its most brilliant orna
ments. We who have so long enj yed tho
influence of his example ' both in Christian
ity and sound learning, feel that there has
been a void created, which will not easily
be filled. Well, indeed, may a cloud of
gloom hung over and around us, well, in
deed, may ours be tears of heartfelt sorrow.
Talent of the highest order has been struck
down influence exerted for the welfare of
mankind, has been in the meridian of use
fulness removed from our midst. It is but
proper that we mourn, for we feel deeply
our bereavement. In consideration of the
interest with which our Principal has ever
regarded our welfare, we deem it proper to
make a final and public acknowledgment.
Therefore, Resolved, That as members
of this institution, thus deprived of its wor
thy Principal, we shall ever cherish in fond'
remembrance, his christian example and
ardent endeavors to promote our common
welfare.
Resolved, That the loss of a kind friend
and affectionate husband, demands our
deepest sympathy for his bereaved eompan
ton, and rel aim's of the honored dead.
Resolved, That as a testimony of our
common affliction, and as a token of respect
to the memory of our departed Principal,
the members of this institution wear the
usual badge of mourning during the re
mainder of the present session.
Resolved, That copies of the proceed
' ings be forwarded for publication to the
papers of Shippensburg, Chawbersburg,
Huntingdon, Metionnelsburg, the Presby
terian, and Presbyterian Banner, of Phila
delphia, and that a copy of them be trans
mitted to the parents and immediate rela
tives of the de3eased.
On motion, aujourned.
