THE TERRIBLE STRAIN on
THE ENGINEER.

When people read about or ride
upon extraordinary fast trains, says
tho Raillody Age, they seldom think OF
the severe strain and excitement TO
which the brave men who run the en-.
gine are subjected. To SIT in passon.
ger coach and glide over n smooth
track is a very different thing from
standing on the shaking footboard with
hand on the lever, straining eyes and
ears TO detect possible danger, every
nerve sense and every thought center
ed on the safe accomplishment Of the
journey upon which so many lives dc.
pend. What such a labor means is
shown, to some degree, IN recent dis
patch, announcing thedeath, at the early
age of thirty, Of VIM. Philips, the on.
gineer who ran the celebrated Jarrett
4 Palmer train from Jersey City TO
Pittsburgh, a distance Of 433 miles,
without a stop. Tho dispatches says :
"Mr. Philips has been sick for nearly
a year past, his illness dating really
from the time he undertook the task
of running the Jarrett& Palmer train.
He accomplished the feat in less than
schedule limc, but the strain on his
system was 30 severe that he never
recovered from it. lie continued on
duty, and was called upon invariably
when trusty man was required, but his
health became more precarious, and he
was finally compelled to relinquish his
position"

FORMATION OF SNow,--Snow is

BEE MYSTERIES,

Probably bee culture has made as
rapid march Of Improvement during
the past five years as any branch Of
agricultural pursuits, During the pres
ent season the same care and expense
has been employed in selecting and
importing bees from Italy, the Island
of Cyprus and the Holy Land as has
been employed in the perfection Of our
various breeds Of horses aud cattle.
Although we do not have tho bee pas

in the Eastwood and wild flowers of
the West still many bees are kept
here with profit, even in the old box

be expected with the new appliances

AN ACCOUNT KEPT SOME
WHERE.


1t is related of the Celebrated DR..
Jewctt that in the course of his travels
he once entered Il country tavern and
sat down in the bar.room to warm
his fingers. His keenly.roving eye
soon discovered prominent, over rows
OF bottles with highly cOlored contents,
in large letters, the inscription, mo
credit given here" Turning to the
landlord Ito whom he was personally
unknown) he said:
"Ah, | see you bring people square
up to the mark"
ayes" said the landlord, "it's no use
to trust rum customers nowadays.
We must get it as we 60 along, or
never get it."
Jewett warmed his fingers awhile
and turning to the lrndlord, said
"l think | could add a line or two
to your inscription that would make it
very nice"
"What would you add2" inquired
the landlord.
"Give me pen and a piece of paper
aud will show you"
Walk into The bar, there's a pen
and ink-help yourself"
The doctor walked into the bar, and
taking up the pen, wrote as follows:
"No credit given here,
And yet I've cause to fear
That there's a day book kept In heaven,
Where charge is made and credit given"
Laying down the pen and leaving
the lines, he walked to the fire, and
again sat down, expecting an oxplo.
sion. The landlord went behind the
bar and read what he had written. A
pause Of some moments ensued, when
the doctor glancing around, was, to
his great pleasure, and somewhat to
his surprise-from the intimations of
dampness about the eyes OF the land.
lord-convinced that he had driven q
nail in sure place. "A word fitly

A DREAM OF AUTUMN.

Mellow haIes lowly trailing
Der the wood and meadow, yelling
Sombre skies, with swallows sailing,
sailor-like, to foreign lands;
And the north wind overlapping
Summers brink, and flood-like sweeping
Wrecks Of roses whsre the weeping
WilloWs swing their helpless hands.
Flaunted high, like torches fiuging
Flakes Of lame and embers. sprnging
From The vale the trees stand swinging
In the moaning stmosphere
While in dead'ning lands the lowing
OF the cattle, sadler growing,
Fills the sense to oyernOwing
. With the SORROW Of the year.
Fields Of ragged stubble, tangled
With rank weeds, and shocks Of jinklod
Corn, With cTests like wet plumes dangled.
O'er the harvest's battle plainj
or the quail that, like missile,
Whizzes over thorn aud thistle,
And, missile drops again.
Rich as wine the sunset flashes
Round the tilted world, and dnshni
Up the sloping west and splashes.
lts red foam against the sky,
Til my dream Of Autumn, paling
In the splendor all prevailing
Like salow leaf goes sailing
Down the silence solomny.

ARE YOU COMING Z

Teachers, Directors and F.!ends Of Eda.
cation in Cleagield county:
Areyou coming to enjoy the benefits
and pleasures of the Annual Session of
the Teachers Institute, which con.
venes in Clearfeld, Dec. 20, 1880?
the programme, which this circular
accompanies, is intended to bear evil
dence of the complete arrangements
we have made for the instruction and
entertainment of those who may at
tend. We are happy to state that in
our opinion, the talent employed, the
questions submitted for consideration,
and the general arrangements for the
coming session are vastly superior to
those of any preceding year. To dc.
fray the heavy expenses of this meet
ing il will require more than four hun
dred dollars. This sum is expended
for the single purpose of improving
our teachers in the science and art of
teaching. Do you wonder then that
we feel solicitous in regard to its sue
cess.
The Act OF Assembly providing for
Teachers Institutes, makes it obliga.
tory upon Superintendents to hold
them annually. 1t is not, therefore,
voluntary measure, but is as perma.
nent as the annual school term itself,
These annual meetings have gradually
grown in public favor and gained a
placein the confidence Of teachers and
people, until now they are recognized
as the most potent educational agencies.
Never in the history of the County
has there been more need Of full at
tendance at the County Institute than
this year. A majority of the teachers
in charge of the schools are young and
inexperienced they need all the in
strucuon and help which this meeting
promises TO give, in order that they may
be strengthened in the duties they
have undertaken to perform. Others
who possess higher attainments, and
have had more experience, are always
present from force Of professional
pride
More elaborate arrangements have
been made for the approaching session
than were ever made for County In
stitute before; many new and valuable
features will be introduced TO make il
practical and efficient and we hope
there is not one teacher in the County
who will not attend from first to the last
session. Fidelity to the cause in which
we labor, demands that we be not
sluggish, but active and earnest
