be it newspaper or magazine The
newspaper, however, is foremost in the affec-
tions of the people, and outside the cities the
weekly newspaper easily takes precedence. It
is a necessity, and since it contains the news of
the week, in conjunction with the freshest eur
rent miscellany, all who are not located where
they can receive the daily fresh from the press
prefer the weekly with its vast stores of news,
its choice stories and special departments. In
this class of journals Tam PrrreBuReH WEEKLY
Post stands without a rival, All the foreign and
domestic news finds a place in its columns. Its
stories, original and otherwise, come fresh from
the pens of the most popular authors; its edito-
rial expressions are clear, forcible and honest;
its agricultural department is conducted by a
practical nineteenth tentury farmer; its finan-
cial and commercial reports are complete, and
altogether it is a paper that no well-regulated
family—especially no well-regulated family in
love with true Democracy—can do without. Its
great worth is attested by its large and steadily
growing circulation, Price, $1.25 a year. In

more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1879 Mr,
Beatty left home a peuniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
80 asto sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or-
gans and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacleslaid in his wav, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement and come# out of it
brighter than ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to be found in
all parts of the world. We are informed that
during the next ten years he intends to sell
200 000 more of his make. that means a business
of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each.

THE EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
The edncational meeting and teachers’
institute, held in the German Baptist
church, began work last Friday evening,
with the building filled to its utmost ca-
pacity. :
The President called the meeting to or-
der, after which the invocation was con-
ducted by Rev. Hoover. The first part
of the session was taken up with recita-
tions by different members of the schools,
which were well rendered and well taken
Ly the audience.
The institute was then favored with
an excellent song by the following quar-
tet: 8. L. Livengood, J. L. Beachy. Miss
Emma Livengood and Miss Allie Smith.
Dr. Speicher followed with an excel-
lent talk on *‘The Duties of Parents.”
He said: “Tt is the duty of every parent
to visit the school and encourage the
teacher in this great and excellent ‘work
of educating our boys and girls. Moth-
ers, let the stockings go undarned some
afternoon, and go visit the schools.
Furnish your children with the necessary
books; children as well as mechanics
must have tools to work with. Parents,
alwaye speak respectfully of your teach.
er in the presence of your children; your
influence will be carried to the school
room. Teachers,
think is right.”
At the conclusion of these most excel-
lent remarks, the institute was again fa-
vored with a humorous song (* ‘Call John”)
which called forth prolonged applause.
Ductor Lichty then declaimed **Ode to
the Deity,” which fully demonstrated
that a man may become master of more
than one profession.
The next period was taken up by Supt.
Berkey, who spoke quite lengthy on
“The Mission of Our Common Schools.”
He said: “What is the mission of our
schools? The mission of our schools
is to develop the power of independent
thought, to develop true character, to
meet the demands of business life. There
are many people who drift along care-.
lessly, shiftlessly and don’t seem to know
what they are living for; these people
lack the power to think and do. Itis
the mission of the schools to develop this
power. The first requisite to this desired
end is a sound body to begin with. A
strong, healthy body is the essential cap-
ital for a young man to begin with... The
small twig destined to become a mighty
oak, often fails, on account of a small
insect at its root at the start, and so with
the child—there may be a disease -con-
tracted in his early life that will destroy
his future possibilities and bring him to
an early grave. If we want to preserve
the jewel (brain) we must protect the
castle. The mission of the schools is not
to cram the mind with facts, but to cul-
do nobly what you
| tivate the mind, and this ean only be cul-
tivated by giving it and feeding it knowl-
edge. We need disciplined minds in ev-
ery pursuit. Some would sacrifice school
for the requiremeiits of the farm, etc.
Can you afford to do this? ‘Where are
our boys? Al gone, too soon. The
‘teens’ are the best years of school life;
keep your boys in school. What is the
migsion of our schools? To establish
true character. This should be the first
that the youth should learn and the last
to forget. The chief elements are obedi-
‘ence, industry and self-respect.”
The session closed with a good-night
song, : .
BATYURDAY'S PROGRAM
was carried out in full. Both sessions
were very interesting, and a great many
new points were brought ont on the theo-
ry of teaching.
Professor Speicher gave a very inter-
esting talk on ‘“‘The Aims of the Teach-
er.”
Prof. Meese gave the institute a pum-
ber of new and excellent ideas on the
study of Geography.
The next session will be leld at West
Salisbury.
Te SOMERSET CouNTY Sran-the new
luminary whose appearance was foretold
several months ‘ago—made its initial
twinkle ast ‘week, and candor compels
us to say, and we say it with pleasure,
that this bright particular Bram is a
twinkler of no mean magnitude. The
first number wus issued under adverse
‘eircumBtances. but for all that, fi isa
creditable issue, and if we may judge fu-
ture issues by this one, both the publish-
er and patrons of the journal are to be
congratulated. In form itisasix-column
quarto—the first, second and eighth pages
devoted to editorial and local miscellany.
The remaining pages are ready-print, but
filled with a variety of interesting selected
matter. May the STAR continue to shine
with increasing radiance as the years go
by, is the worst luck we can wish it.
From the Meyersdale Commercial.
THE SOMERSET COUNTY STAR, Salis-
bury’s new paper, made its appearance
last week. It looks much like the Carle-
ton (Neb.) Times, which it once was, and
is as spicy and full of vim. *‘Pete” ought
to be happy now, as he has a star that
twinkles and a bran, new, twelve pound
girl baby, all at once, so tosay. The
business men of Salisbury have made a
fair show at doing their part, but must
and will do far better. We welcome
Tae STAR, most heartily to Bomerset
county newspaperdom and hope it will
prosper beyond the publisher's fondest
anticipations. And we especially wel-
come it, because in Mrs. Livengood the
county has its first lady editor.
From the Lonaconing (Md.) Review.

From Geo. N. Wright, proprietor of the noted
Middlesex stock farm, located near Carleton,
Neb.
CARLETON, NEB., Dec. 16th, 1891.
Dear Sir: —Your first edition of the
eastern paper received. A very good be- |
ginning, I think, and I sincerely hope
that you will make a success of it, and 1
see no earthly reason why you can’t.
Kindest regards to the associate editor.
I am very respectfully,
Geo. N. WRIGHT.
From the Somerset Standard.
We have received a copy of the initial
number of THE SOMERSET COUNTY STAR,
a six-column eight-page paper, published
gt Salisbury, by Mr. and Mrs. Livengood.
The Salutatory is addressed to the pros-
pective patrons of the paper and admits
of no misunderstanding—it is the editor's
ultimatum. If thé people of Salisbury
are appreciative THE BTAR will lead them
in a progressive march. We welcome
THE STAR and trust that its every twinkle
may bring prosperity to its publishers.
From the Hebron (Neb.) Register.
We are in receipt of the first number
of THE SOMERSET COUNTY STAR, pub-
lished at Elk Lick, Pennsylvania. by P.
L. Livengood, formeily of Carleton. It
is a bright, newsy sheet and gives evi-
dence of Pete’s handiwork. We wish
him success in his new field.
From the Hebron (Neb.) Journal.
This office is in receipt of volume 1,
No. 1, of Tae SoMersET COUNTY (PA.)
Star, P. L. Livengood. editor, Mrs. P.
L. Livengood, associate editor. It is
bright and creditable, and bears the im-
press of the editor's individuality. The
first number is somewhat remarkable for
the profuseness of the salutatory which
exceeds three columns in length. But it
is well worth reading. iy
From the Carleton (Neb.) Reporter,
The initinl number of THe SOMERSET
County (Pa.) STAR, P. L. Livengood, ed-
tor and publisher, has been received.
As all, or nearly all, the readers of the
Reporter have received copies of Thar’
STAR it is not necessary to describe it.
Suffice it to say that it is a neat, newsy
sheet, full of the vim and vigor for which
“Pete” Livengood is noted.

WO years.
Benj. Thomas, the operator near Shaw’s

says the coal ''biz” is booming.
The electric light in Meyersdale will
