The commissioners having in hand
the erection of the new Middle district
penitentiary, at Huntingdon, met at
the Girard House yesterday to award
the contract for building the reservoir
and laying water pipe. They were in
session from eleven o'clock in the
morning till eight in the evening.
There were forty-three bids altogether.
They ranged from $751; to 500, 1000.
The contractors bidding were from all
parts of the state, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Harrisburg, Huntingdon, Potts
vile, Reading, Lock Haven, Columbia,
and Lancaster. From Philadelphia
and Pittsburg the principal number
came. A Philadelphia firm, Samuel
H. Colon & Co., got the contract,
their bid being the lowest--$5, l65.
This bid was rather surprise to the
commission, as they did not expect
the work could be done for that price,
and some are still of the opinion
that the contractors cannot make any
thing out of the contract. The security
required must be equal to the full
amount of the bid. The reservoir must
be large enough to contain 100000
gallons of water. The amount of iron
pipe to be laid is $500 feet, eight-inch
size. All the members of the commits
sion were present yesterday. Charles
Thomson Jones presided.-Williams-

KILLED BY A TREE.-Uriah Guss,
farmer, living on Tuscarora creek,
two miles west of Port Royal, Juniata
county, was killed. on the a2d ult.,
under peculiar circumstances. A
large oak, with great spreading
branches, standing on the edge of the
creek, on bank fifteen feet high, had
been cut down the day previous. His
son was hauling home these branches
for fire-wood, while he was trimming
up the top of the tree. There was a
large limb ON the lower side and
smaller snag on the upper side on
which it rested, keeping the top of the
tree up in the air-tde trunk thirty
feet from the stump being six or eight
feet from the ground. This top no
doubt seemed to him to rest securely.
He cut small limb that proved to be
the last prop of the lower large limb
and the whole trunk turned around
suddenly bringing the heavy limbs of
themain trunk sweeping down towards
piO SUlCoh. AlS Ju1S WDeH
observed, shaping his course in order
to avoid brush heap that had accum-
ulated. Yet this was the fatal spot.
At distance of eighteen feet heavy
limb came down upon him, crushing
him to the ice, for he was now on the
creek. His ribs were crushed in, the
back broken, as were also his leg and
arm. The whole body was crushed
in heap. The son SO found him on
his return, after fifteen minutes-it
being only three hundred yards from
the house. The lad cut off the limb
but life was gone. Though so crushed
yet there was no outside flesh wound.
Uriah Guss was farmer, in good
circumstances. He had been a carpen-
ter by trade, exceedingly ingenious as
a mechanic, had been an expert axman
and had cut thousands of trees in his
day. He was fifty-eight years old, and
leaves family of twelve children,
half of whom are married. He was
a brother of Prof. A. L. Guss, of this
rough.--Huntingion Globe.

A Measure 20 be Conside red.
New York Sun. ]

The proceedings Of Congress for
many years past have suggested
the expediency of AN amendment
to the Constitution in regard to
appropriations of money. similar
to that which was engrafted upon
the constitution OF this State three
years ago in January. The amend
ineht referred To provides that if
any bill shall contain several items
of appropriation, the governor may
object to one or more of such items
while approving Of the other por-
ton of the bill, aud that thereup.
On the action of the Legislature
IN respect to the items objected to
shall be the same as when all ELI
tire bill il vetoed.
The effect of this amendment
has been highly salutary It came
into operation when Mr.. Tilden
was governor. At the first session
of the Legislature under his nd
ninistration he objected to items
which aggregated nearly $4,000,
600, not one Of which, we believe,
Was passed over this veto. At
subsequent sessions the sum total
Of the items objected to by him
aud by MIR. Robinson has dimin-
ished to comparatively small
amount, aud for the plain reason
that the power of the governor has
deferred plunderers from resor.ing
to the old practice of smuggling
jobs into bills which were neces-
sary for carrying on the govern
nent, and whose main appropria-
tons were unohj-cti, nable.
If the two Houses of Congress
were to propose such an amend
ment 10 the Federal Constitution,
it could be ratified by the States
before March, 1881, when we shall
have President really elected.
and not holding the office by
fraudulent tiih,. Clothed with the
authority conferred by this amend
nent, such President could save
the country millions of dollars an-
nually by cruising exIravagant or

River and Harbor bull, Snndry

bills, which have become the re

The Water-Torture in Japan.

The originators of this cruel device re.
lied upon the torments of thirst as more
powerful than mere corporal suffering.
The prisoner is for several days confined
to an extremely salt diet, without rice or
water. When two or three days have
passed the craving for water becomes in
cessant, and the suferings of the tortured
man approach the bounds of insanity.
Efforts are then made to obtain confes-
sion by subjecting the sufferer to the ago.

midst of the internal lake, whose waters
he could not touch. On ali sides the

water for which he would sacrifice every
thing-but which he cannot touch, except
upon the condition Of confession.

Our Dead Presidents,

A review of the lives of the different
presidents of the United States is produc-
tive of some very interesting results. For
instance three of them died on the 4th of
July.
John Adams and Jefferson both died on
the country's birthday, July 4, 1896, and
Monroe died on the 4th of July, 1891.
Madison died on the 2Sth of June, 1886
and his friends were confident that he, too
would live until July a. If he had, then
the second, third, fourth, and fifth presi-
dents, would have died upon Independ-
ence Day. Taylor and Johnson both
died in July. Every fourth president un-
til Mr.. Hayes was an old bachelor. Van
Buren did not draw any of his salary un-
til his term expired, when he drew it out
in gold, "all in heap" Tyler died poor,
having gone into the rebellion, and was
one OF the Confederate commissioners at
Montgomery. John Adams lived the
longest; he was 81 years old when he
died. Madison was S., Jefferson So; John
Quincy Adams ST. Van Buren,, So; Jack
son, Is; Buchanan, II; Fillmore, "A; Mon
roe, u; Tyler, T.; Harrison, 6S; Washing

Van Buren both died in 1862, Lincoln in

Hints to Letter Writers.

Many persons, in writing to relatives,
sign their name in such manner as to be
of no value in tracing out the writer,
should the letter be unclaimed Letters
containing money are thus frequently lost.
A parent writes to "Dear John inclos-
es $40, and signs, "Your loving mother. "
John can't be found; the letter is sent to
the dead-letter office, opened, and no ad-
dress being given, the contents go to en-
rich the Golfers of the department, unless,
perchance John Or the loving mother
sends to Washington and succeeds in es-
tablishing their identity.
Persons who forget or else do not con-
slider it necessary to write the name OF
the State on their envelope will do well to
note carefully the following facts: There
