WALTER IL. LOWREE.

Was born in Armstrong county. Pcnnsyl.
vania. He is the son of Matthew B. Lowre
formerly Mayor of Pitsburg, and comes of
that honest, upright and intelligent stock Of
people who emigrated from that province of
Ulster, and have done SO much for the cause
of education, sound morals and popular
rights in this Western World. He is now
- years Of age, and was reared aud educa-
ted at Pittsburg where he graduated in The
Western University Of Pennsylvania, a, the
age of nineteen. He read law under Judge
Shaler of rillsburg, and was admitted 10 the
bar in 1920. During portion of his studies
he taught a classical school, and thus was
disciplIniug his own mind whilst imparting
knowledge 10 others. After admission, he
pursued his profession with diligence and
success in the great iron city of the West,
and attained such deserved distinction in II,
that in 1912 he was unanimously chosen
Professor of Law in his Alma Mater, the
duties Of which, besides at tending to his
growing practice, he ccntinued to perform
with great credit, until the University build
ings were destroyed in the great conllaga-
ten of 1913. His selection fer such silua-
tion from a bar ms numerous and talented as
that of Pittsburgh, by the learned gentlemen
who had charge Of the institution, was no
slipht tribute 10 the talents and worth Of one
who was then comparatively young in years.
Public opinion fully ratified the choice, as ii
did the appointment in 1916 from Skunk, of
! Assistant Nudge OF the District Court for the
county Of Allegheny, which had become
vacant by the promotion of Hon. Hopewell
Hepburn to the Presidency of that Court, in
place of Judge Grier appointed 10 the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. Succeed
! ing as he did two such able and eminent
men as Judges Grier aud Hepburn, he has
sustained himself in this judicial station and
| has given universal satisfaction, by the un-
firing industry with which he has met and
treated the muluIaTisus questions ot law
and equity which have been constantly all
sing in that court, growing out ot the m
creased business and commerce OF onr gFeal
Western Emporium.
He possesses a clear and lucid intellect, is
well read, 10. only in his profession, but II
almost every branch of general literature
and science. lie possesses great power O
analysis and great patience in investigation
His manners on the bench, as well as in pr
vate intercourse, are bland and courteous
and his opinions, many of which have beer
given to the world, satisfy the profession
and the public of his capacity and legal al
tainmenls. No man could stand higher fc
| s,rirt and unbendnu integrity. and 6v,
wears experience on the bench have satsiie,

JEREMIAH y. BLACK

Was born on the 10th day of Janury, 1910,
! in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. He is
the son Of the Hon. Henry Black, highly
intelligent and respectable citizen of that
county, who was for many years one of its
associate Judges, aud who died in 1871,
whilst representing that congressional dis.
trict in the House of Representatives of the
United States. He passed through an ex-
cellent academic instruction, and before
commencing the study of the law was pro-
nounced, by those competent TO Judge, 10
TO have acquired more than ordinary attain
ments in classical literature and scientific
studies. AT an early age, he gave promise
OF those talents which have since so distin-
guished him. In his eighteenth wear he
commenced the study Of the law under
Chauncey Forward, Esq, Of Somerset, and
was admitted 10 the bar in 1890. Al the
time of his admission the leading members
of that bar were Messrs. Forward, Moses
Hampton, Charles Ogle, Joshua F. Cox, and
Joseph Williams, (now Chief Justice of
Iowa.) Mr.. BLACK had not completed his
majority when he was admitted and had TO
enter into competition with these gentlemen,
all of acknowledged ability. This rivalry
no doubt tended TO develope his talents and
stimulate his industry and ambition. He
Immediately acquired a large practice,
joining counties, until he quit the bar for the
bench. In 1871, he was appointed by Gov.
Porter, President Judge of the 10th Judicial
District, composed of the counties of Frank
lin, Bedford and Somerset, which situation
he has filed from that time TO this the
district being at one time, enlarged by the
addition of Blair, and al another, by that of
Fulton county.
At the bar he was distinguished for
sound, clear and logical views in his legal
arguments, united 10 bold and command
ing eloquence which rendered him power
ful and successful advocate.
As a President Judge he has exhibited
talents and capacity of the highest ORDER
lie seems to comprehend the cause before
him SO distinctly, that in charges he clears
up all lis difficulties and puts it 10 the Jury
in such a lucid point Of view as enables
them to understand the precise point in
issue, thus relieving the case Of all extrane-
Gus matter.
Few men possess stronger grasp of in
tellect, and none can express themselves
with more cearncss upon any subject that
comes before him. \ rich scholar in gem
eral literaure-a sound and indutrious law
yer and indge, with nearly ten years eXpo-
rience on the bcnch-wih a methodcal and
strong mind, quick perception and clear
intellect, he cannot do otherwise than fill
with credit to himself and advantage to the
pubic, the high Office for which he has
been nominated, and which he will grace,
as we'll by his qualifications as by his sim
pie, unaffected and urbane manners.

mounted on his horse, and armed with his
broad sword. Five of his farm men had
followed him. Others came in from all
sides.
Edward, with great GOODNESS and skill,
took upon himself the conduct of the
whole affair. He suggested that the Squire,
with thirty men, should cut off the retreat
OF the ioraging party, and take them pris-
oncrs.
"And what will you do ?" asked the
Squire. "You are not going to keep out
Of the danger 2"
''No sir! IF there are twenty brave men
here who will volunteer to 90 with me, |
will proceed to their boat, take possession
of it, and embark for the ship. In the
night we can board her without difficulty,
as we shall be taken for their own party.
Once on board, the ship will easily fall
into our hands, for the most of her prize
crew are ashore.-Who will volunteer 2"
This bold proposition at first startled the
boldest man among them. But in less than
five minutes twenty of them had volunteer
ed and in two minutes more he was at
their head, leading them to the bridge,
while the Squire with his detachment pro-
ceeded to cut off the retreat of the enemy.
The result was in all respects successful.
The English party at the mills surrendered
after brief skirmish, and were taken to
the tavern as prisoners within an hour al
ter the Squire had left it. Edward and his
brave band boarded the ship without sus-
picion, and after a short conflict he was
master of her. He took her, by the aid of
the released American crew, into Boston
harbor the next day and we need not add
that within less than three months he was
rewarded with the hand Of the beautiful
Annette HarWood.

PHILosoPnY or SwIMMING.-No branch Of
edpcat;on has been so much neglected as
this. Man is the only animal that does not
swim naturally. He sinks in deep water
from the size of his brain when not properly
exercised. That is to say the weight of his
brain above his nose sinks that organ little
beneath the surface, when he is in an erect
position, before his body dlsplaces its weight
of water, and thus finds an equilibrium
With the nose under one must breathe water
and drowu. Bat when the brain comes 10
be exercised enough TO throw the head back
and nose up, pointing 10 the very zenith and
keep hands and feet carefully under water,
then by the eternal laws Of dydroslaIics, the
nose will continue above water and the per-
son will float like an empty bottle which is
so balanced as to keep its mouth upPermost.
No human being can sink in still water OF
any'depth lying on his back with hands aud
feet under water.

CAREors FOR HoRsEs.-ln Great Britain,
many of the most successful aggiculluraIists
and cattle breeders, feed their horses largely
and, indeed in some instances, quite exclu-
.sively, on roots. l. has been estimated by
competent Judges, that for purposes of cattle
feeding, a bushel of carrots is equal TO a
bushe Of grain. saw il asserted recently,
in an agricultural Journal, that the proprietor
of an extensive livery stable, If the State of
Connecticut, considers this root the most
valuable article for winter feed he has ever
raised. The weld of the carrot, per acre,
is, under proper and iudicious managemen''
very great.

AN INTERESTIG INCIDENT.

The other day, in conversation with Miss

afraid 10 travel all over the country alone,
and have you not encountered dangers and
been in pcrious situation ?' n am nalur-

'In pursuing our journey through dismal

him, | discovered his cOunlemance changed
and he became deathly pale. ''My God"
he exclaimed, ''lhat voice !" and immedi-
at'ly told me that he had been IN the Phila-
delpha ponileutiary, and had heard me lee
turing some Of the prisoners in an adjoining
cell, and that he now recognized my voice,
lie then desired me to pass on, and express
srd deep sorrow al the outrage he had COM

Had not Miss Div taken possession of the

of them murdered. "That voice" was more
