TUMULT IN THE PENNSYLVANIA LIE.
GISLATURE.

HARRIsBURG, Penn, Feb. IA dis
graceful scene occurred in the Pennsylvania
House Of Representatives tonight. Mr.
Talley, Democrat, of Delaware County,
made motion to refer the petition of citi-
zens of Lancaster City contesting the seat
of D. p. Rosenmiler, Republican, as mem
Der of the Legislature, to the Committee
on the Judiciary The Republicans raised
the point of order that the petition was not
properly before the House, that body hav-
ing not been legally organized when the
petition was originally introduced. Speaker
Patterson decided against the Republicans
when an appeal was taken, and his decision
was sustained by large majority. Wolf
Republican, of Union county, raised the
further point of order that it required two
thirds of those present to take up the petit
ton under the suspension of the rules
The Speaker rendered an adverse decision,
and entertained motion to adjourn. Wolfe
sprang to his feet and insisted that he had
a right to be heard on his point. The
Speaker declared him out of order, as no
appeal had been taken from his decision,
and motion to adjourn was not debatable.
Mr. Wolfe insisted that he was not out of
order, when the Speaker commanded him
to take his seat, and Wolfe, refusing to
obey, he called into requisition the services
of the Sergeant alarms, who proceeded to
execute the order of the Chair The Re
publicans Missed the proceeding, and the
Democrats applauded it, Wolfe continuing
yelling at the top of his voice until the Ser
geant-at-Arms seized him. The Hall of
the House presented scene of indescrib-
able confusion and the Republican men,
bers rushed to the defense of their colleague
and wrested him from the hands of the Ser
geant-at-Arms. In the midst of the COM
motion the Speaker adjourned the House.
During the melee pistols were drawn, and
and for time it was feared that blood
would be shed.

Pennsylvania Schools.

The annual report Of State Superinten-
dent Wickersham has been prepared. 1t
lows the growth of the common school
system T.. this State, aud presents some facts
Of much interest. We qcnte the following
The whole number OF children attending
the common schools last year Was ooO,. II
and the average number 543, ,026. The
cost for tuition amounted to 81, ,527 ,30S 03 :;
for contingencies S2,050,106 81; for
buildings, 81, ,160,714 81. The aggregate
expenditures for all school purposes, S.
SAT ,939 8S, and including the amount
expended for soldiers orphans and Normal
schools we have the magnificent sum which
was devoted by the people to purely educa-
tional purposes that year, of 9,40S, ,S18 81.
At the end Of his term the present State
Superintendent, Jane p. Wickersham, will
have drawn out of the State Treasury and
expended directly the sum Of $1,000, 900.
During the same time he will have examined
and passed the account of the school direc-
tors in the several districts amounting to
S46,216, AGO Such is the scale upon which
his quiet department of the State govern
ment does its work. The following figures
exhibit the enormous growth Of our State
educational system within the last ten year
During that time graded schools have in
creased from LAB to $3.50 the average
salary of made teachers $3l 50 per month
to S42.95; the average palary of female
teachers from S242l to 35.87 cost of
tuition from $2,515, ,52S.63 to S4,527,-
30803; the cost of school houses from
S465, ,0S6,88 to S2,160,374S7; expendi-
lures of all kinds from S3,614, ,238.35 to
81 ,S37 ,939.S8; number of teachers OF
teachers Institutes from 2,755 to 1870
normal schools from 4, with |, ,766 students
to 8, with 2,9l5. The number of orphan
children receiving support from the State
was on the first day of September, 1874
2,84S, being falling off of 215 during the
year the number Of children admitted tc
the schools during the year reached nearl,
800. The system cost the past year $3.50,
319.40 against a cost of S467 ,13l 83 il
1873. The whole cost of the system since
going into operation is $4,5S5 ,556.l4. il
will probably cost 81 ,200,0 more, anc
will cease operations on the lst of June
1879, when the last orphan will be of ar
age to go into the world fitted to battle fol
living. The origin of the Soldiers
Orphan school is due to ex- Governor A. G
Curtin, who made the suggestion to tn,
Legislature of accepting donation from
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company fo
defensive purposes, and devote it to the u.s.
of the orphans of those who died fightin.
for the Union. This suggestion was actec
on, and by it Pennsylvania has been en-
abled to pay debt of gratitude which coulc
not have been liquidated in any other man
liner.

Is it Justifable to Kill Burglars ?

This is a question undergoing discussion
since the killing of the burglars Mosher
and Douglass by young Van Brunt, Mr.
Charles O. 'Coner was appealed TO for an opfn-
ion on the subject, and expresses it IN a
manner lot to be misunderstood. He
says:
"No magistrate viii commit the slayer
to prison, no grand jury will indfct them,
nor viii any district attorney prosecute or
petit jury convict. If, indeed, any one IN
this line of official authorities could be found
to act adversely, the next in succession
would be apt to repudiate his doings, or IT
a concurrence of the whole could be i'm
aeined, ending in conviction, it is very
certain that no Governor would hesitate an
instant IN awarding to the accused safe
dellverance by his dispensing power"

In the first place give them plenty Of
pure water. IF you want to fatten, give
corn if growth is what you want, oats are
good but for laying hens, variety OF food
is necessary also plenty of shell timber
hens often die for want of it. Pound up
bones and crockery or glass, give plenty OF
ashes, lime, plaster and gravel Wheat
bran is better than corn for laying hens

afford our delinquent subscribers and

opportunity to show us whether they ap-

advantage of the occasion, and come with
rush and "sock up" so as to enable US to
present them with one of those beautiful

have "a few more left" on hand Don't be
bashful about coming, or afraid to come

too busy, or over worked. We like to be
kept busy attending to such customers,

the consequences, aud have no fears Of

We have no holidays, for long time to
come, now save the 22d of February, and
that is both legal and patriotic holiday.
How would it do, for US to make an effort to
celebrate that day. Certainly the name Of
George Washington, the father of his coun-
try, is a name worthy Of remembrance, and
his deeds worthy of more than an unnoted
passage. We could hardly evince our appre-
ciation of the man and his invaluable service
better, or so well az to get together and
soberly and nationally enjoy good time. 1t
is by keeping up and making more than a
note of the days, and events, and men which
furnished our past history, that We can best
keen in remembrance the tolls, trials and
tribulation through which we have progress
ed to our present exalted status as a nation.
And this too would tend 10 make US better
patriots and men. 1t is the neglect of these
that leads US to forget our duty as American
citizens, and led to the rebellion which came
so near destroying us. Our country was
never strong in the strength ofits patriotism,
as when the people celebrated its holidays as
a matter of principle Can we remember
the 22d of February? Let US see.
