THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.—The pres
ent movement for the liberation of Cuba
from Spanish tyranny began on the 10th
of October last, when 127 men at Yara
under Gen. Carlos Manuel de Cespedes,
declared for the independence of the
island. In less than six month it has
spread until it 110 W embraces an area of
20,000 out of the 30,000 square miles in
cluded in the whole island. Within
limits there are 147 cities, kowns, and
villages, of which more than one half
are in the hands of the revolutionists.
Out of the 150,000 men able to bear
arms on the whole island, 45,000 are in
the ranks of the patriots : 20,000 of them
being stationed in the Eastern, and
15,000 in the Central department. The
total population of the district in re
bellion is 547,738, of which ,there are in
the Eastern Department 126,368 whites,
k 86,374• negroes free before the revolution,
and 51,778 slaves just emancipated by
the patriot leaders. In the Central
Department /the , numbers are 172,567
whites, 42,444 negroesformerly free, and
60,207 slaves newly freed. The patriots
ltaVe thus, it will be seen, given liberty
to more than 120,000 slaves, and when
they succeed in redeeming the - whole
island will do the same forlBo,ooo more.
The estimated wealth of the real es
tate in the territory held by the patriots
was, in - 1862, $550,000,000, and its indus
, try and commerce were reckoned as
representing a capital of $774,000,000.
The annual productions were : Sugar,
$62,000,000 ; tobacco, $15,000,000; I other
produce, $52,000.
It will thus be seen that the insurrec
tion is by no means the trifling matter
I lie Spaniards represent it to be. 'lf the
men who are conducting It can be fairly

of Mint ro , e, had a very narrow escape

in his cooper shop, and was inside of a

IS VACCINATION OF ANY VALUE?—
The San Fullleiz•co physicians, who
have reet•ntly been investigating facts
in elation to sniall pox, now prevail
ing in that city, reported the following
t•:1;-th. :
A man who had been vaccinated, and
lately re-vaccinated with the usual_ re
oli exposure to the disease was
va>lentlY attacked by it and died in
cluck days. The second case was still
more singular. A man whose face bore
the charaeteristic marks ,of the disease
from an attack several years since, Avas
vacillated as a joke. To the surprise
of all, the virus took and the man had
an unusually severe case of kine pox,
which left on his arm what the physi
cians called a "splendid mark." A
month or two since the man was taken
ick,with the small pox In its most vi
rident and loathsome form, and died in
a feldays after being admitted to the
liospk al.
On Sunday night,-last week, a certain
ouiig man, possessed of rattier more
curiosity than discretion, undertook to
peep into the closply curtained window
of a respectable unmarried lady. Un
fortunately for Paul Pry, he had taken;
his situationon some loose boards which
covered a cellar way, and, greatly to
his astonishment, he was suddenly pre
cipitated into thei "cavernous depth
below," a distance of some eight or ten
feet! lie was promptly helped out of
his t»ipleasant predicament by the lady
of the house, and, hurriedly walked
away with the impression that he had
been neatly caught in a very contempt
ible trick.• The moral of this story is,
.plainly enough, "Let him that think
eth he standeth take heed lest he fall !''
—l7orneadoille Tribune.
In the Chestercounty'prison last year
about seven thousand yards of check
and carpeting, and a congiderable quan
ity of other articles, were manufactured
by the inmates. The goods sold by the
prison authorities _ amounted ) to $5,261,
and the suet drawn from the county
treasury was $4,800. The labor of the
prisoners thus paid more than half the
expenses, and they were protected from
the effects of idleness and promiscuous
association.

A NEW EXODUS
We notice in the last Potter Journal
an appeal to certain migratory' persons
who, not having r ached the stage of
infatuation presum ble in the case of
the author of " Ho ne, Sweet Home,"
F
are packing up.the r household goods
and gods, and pre aring to follow in
the glittering wal e of the Star of em
pire. The anpellai t .declares that Pot
ter County has el arms • innumerable,
among them pure l air, sweet water,
pine timber, and mineral wealth. But
we suspect that he Neill fail to arrest the
exodus of which he complain.„ .

find that there are lother disabilities
besides the " three weeks Of poor sleigh

annual calamit' in Sweden township.
Alen who have battled with the big

ditil

farmers fr m these regions. The same

Still, to complain *f these changes, is
to complain of the iperation of natural
law. Populations, like fluids, become
stationary only. b stagnating., We
may as well expect health on the shores
of a tideless ocean, where gales are un
known, as in the midst of a population
which never migrates. It is the law.—
Humanity has its tides and its currents,
like the sea. The breaking of old and
the cementing of new ties is as much a
process of health and right civilization
as the moillting of birds is a process of
health, and adapta ion to changeable
circumstances, botl physical and cli

The appeal of somebody in Potter to
other somebodies a out to leave that

is to quiet the alartus of our neighbors,
who have a few weeks longer to wait

Potter county cannot grow except by
the operation of ingress and egret-s.—
There-must be purchasers or there can
not be sellers. When a man leaves a
community somebody buys his &rm.—
That somebody, if he be a new comer,
will• seek to attract some of his old
friends and neighbors to his new loca
tion. It IS thus that emigration pro
duces immigration, just as a demand
for butter and cheese induces etlbrt to
create a supply of those edibles. Pop
ulation may be compared to a glacier,
being never at rest normally, but ever
pressing forward and outward. When
the glacier debouches upon a precipice,
or upon the sea coast, the air is resonant
with the noise of its disintegration as it
cracks and breaks off into nonresisting
space. So with populations; they crum
ble off at the edges, in search of equi
librium, and will continue so to do un
til the breadth of the Republic shall be
divided into farms and the centers of
population established for all time.
This is not intended to encourage
emigration. It is a plain statement of
fact and philosophy. We don't advise
men past 45 to go west. But if they do
go we see no reason to fear depopula
tion. Young men, especially single
men, ought to consider well before set
tling 'anywhere. If they are going
west, better go while single, prepare a
nest for the bird, then mate, and begin
et property together. If the advice
is brie will not harm the taker.
As the time goes on the peculiar fit
ness of Gen. Grant for the place : he oc
cupies because more and more apparent.
It is enough to know\ that the profess
ional fawners at the feet of power are
yelping in full chorus. Their bark is
worse than their bite. The President
has ignored them, big and little, and
still continues to exist. It was said,
with a great flourish of trumpets, that
the President would have to call in
these political threSd-needle men before
he could get the machine to run smooth
ly. The machine is running smoothly
—more smoothly than it ever run be
fore under pressure,—yet the thread
needle men have not been consulted.
Grant is making a clean sweep of
Johnsonized Republicans everywhere.
A great reduction in the advice of the
Departments is being made, hundreds
of sinecures, established to reward the
Democracy by the Johnson Adminis
tration, have been abolished, and offi
cial deadheading at the expense of the
Treasury appears to have received its
deathstroke.
Well done, Grant ! Go on. If in a
year you. can stop leaks amounting to a
million dollars, you will have made a
good beginning. Let the thread-needle
men swear and the decapitated dead
heads revile. The people are with you.
Rejoice ! the world moves, even in
Pennsylvania. There ,is enough of
common Oense in the Legislature to
cut loose from the dead carcase of the
dark ages and lash to the age In which
we live. .
We are certain that it will rejoice
thinking men to learn that the act to
permit parties to a suit to testify in
court has become a law. For ages the
lawmakers contended that parties to
suits-at-law only lacked
me Courts of
:4ates abolished that non
sense some years ago. The State of
New York did the same thing. Penn
sylvania has "tried the same thing sev
eral times and never could get a major
ity of 133 men with sufficient strUi l iina
to hold up to the work.
. We call attention to the absurdity of
the old law : suitors, it said in effect,
cannot tell the truth when it makes
against them. Now the fact was, is,
and always must be, that if suitors .de
sire to gain a suit by false swearing,
they prefer having somebody else to do
the perjury. Never, since trial by
judge and jury was established, has
there been any'lack of men to swear
falsely for a consideration. Every lavi;-
yer knows who lies and who does not'
on examination. Every judge knows
the same thing. Jurors are quick to
detect lying on the witness stand. They
will still be judges of the reliability of
the testimony of all witnesses, as before.
The parties to a suit are the very men
who know most about it, usually. Why
the law should have debarred their tes
timony is as inexplicable as most laws
of medieval times. Thank heaven that
another old snag of the dark ages is ex
tracted. Out with them.
We can almost forgive the Legisla
ture its blunders in consideration of
this step forward.
• The most audacious venture on the
sea of journalism yet, is the Imperial
ist, a handsome quarti, of 10 pages, de
voted to the establishment of imperial
ism
in America. Democracy and 10-
publicanisna it denominates failures.
" Democracy" sltys this bold paper,
" means lawlessness, insecurity to per
son androperty, robbery of the public
creditors, and civil war ; the empire
means law, order, security, public faith,
peace." If we have imperialists among
us let them speak out, as boldly as this
champion does, and in the fortunes of
free discussion there is nothing to fear.
We are thoroughly anti-imperialist, but
shall read this novel, this audacious,
organ of old world theories. It may be
had at any news office, or of the Im
perial Publishing Company, New York
City. Price 12 cents a number.
The Governor has vetoed the bill,au
thorizing the Executive to commute the
death penalty to imprisonment for life.
We are glad of not that we regard
capital punishment as' the best punislf
rnent, but becauselit is not right to put
the life of any man in the hands of
any other man. Either abolish hang
ing (and after Jeff Davis goes clear why
hang anybody?), or let the law stand
as it is.
The Governor refused to reprieve
Eaton and Twitch - ell, and the latter
swallowed poison and got rid of his
rope. Threatening letters have been
sent to the Governor, breathing furious
vengeance, but that sort of thing won't
pay. The laws must be respected and
enforced.
We fear that it may not be safe for
the Democracy of Lycoming to follow
the advice of Col. Tate in the matter of
righting the wrongs of the 29th judicial
district. lie counsels force, unless the
Supreme Codrt declares the act uncon
, etitutional. Some vague, and some not
so vague, recollections of the Fishing
Creek Confederacy, may det4 the De
mocracy - of Lycoming from 'following
the advice of a leader who assisted in
putting several of their — friends hi a
difficult position in Columbia County
during the . - war, from trusting the
worthy Colonel. He might not be
around when the tug came.
While Judge Gamble.was holding an
adjourned Court at Williamsport a few
days ago, the Sheriff served upon him
a writ of quo warratzeo, issued by the
Attorney General. The whole matter
will be settled at May Term of the Su
preme Court, to which the writ is re
turnable. There appears to be a dif
ference of opinion as to the Constitu
tionality of the law abolishing the 29th
District. A better plan would be to
repeal the act and recur to first princi
ples.

WI notice that the publishers of the

to pay the sum of $5OOO damages for
libeling Maj. W. 3..Purman, of Florida.
The defendants failed to substantiate a
single charge, it is stated, and if so, de
serve all they get in the way of punish

We have read Senator Olmsted's
speech in opposition to the low grade

enough, and we hope it may bp built;

and nothing more. We shall object to
such means always,. even if Tioga coun

Gen. Harry White, of the Indiana

Yes; Mr. Ketcham is the candidate

TIIE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENCY.--
".'s" article on County Superintendent, must
colnmend itself to all Directors of the County who
would wish to have the right man in the right
place. That "the position requires, and the
wants of our schools demand, a practical edu
cator," one who has labored in the cause of edu
cation with might, mind and strength," none
will deny.
All must admit with "E," that "men really qual
ified to fill the office aro few, very few." But who
shall the coming man be, is a question ? Wo
want a man who wilt devote his whole time to
tho duties of the office. Have we such a man ?
Wo answer, yes. Prof. E. Horton, Principal of
Union Academy, is the "coining man." Prof.
Horton is certainly a practical Educator. "One
whose vocation and labors have led him into the
rushing stream of progress and advancement.—
He is young, active,' energetic, and has made
teaching a life business thus for, (with the ex
ception of about two years service in the army,)
and all whp aro acquainted with his school testi
fy to his success. Again, with "E." "Is it not
the duty of the Directors to give the office to such
a man ?" He can bo induced to accept. O.
County Superintentoncy.
As the time has nearly arrived when the most
important act of the common School directors is
to be performed—the election of County Super
intendent—inquiriee are being made' for the
right man. The kind of man we all want, with
out doubt, is one having the proper moral, men
tal, and physical ability, with much experience in
the common school; and who is fitted, by much
experimental knowledge of the schoolroom, to
bring all its wants and requirements into active
operation; a man of such life and energy as will
infuse the same into all concerned in our com
mon schools—teachers, pupils, and parents.
Such a man we undoubtedly have in A. W.
Rockwell,'- of Covington. Re has taught up
wards of 20 terms-7 in this county, where he
has residedfor the last six year.. The rest in
Bradford. Be has done more to elevate the
common Schools in western Bradford than any
other man. Be can show by undoubted testi
monials complete outman as a teacher in that sec
tion ; and we know that his merits are undoubted

in either tiro same 'or other reed instrument,.
Their reputation is such that scarcely anything
need be said regarding their being desirable,
having been awarded premiums and medals at
the principal Fairs and Institutes, both in this
and foreign eoptries. Many titre modern tat.
:provnments, which are so desirable in all gust
reed instruments, are owned and retained fur
their exclusive use by the manufacturers of
these instruments, Hence it-is, while they claim
strength and durability, together with 'volume,
and quality of tone equal to any, they excel all
other reed instruments, in tho variety and com
