THE SOMERSET BAD BoY.-In all my trav-
els to and fro, up and down the earth,
must give Somerset the palm for having
more rude and unmannerly boys than any
other town within my knowledge. / take for
example their conduct on their way TO and
from school. As to noise, the war-whoop
ofthe Indian canihardlv equal it From the
smallest urchin TO the largest boy, each is
armed with a stick or club with which. as
they pass along. they strike houses, fences,
or boxes, and where none of these are with
in reach, they strike the sidewalk. Who is
to blame and be held responsible for such
ruffianism? First the parents, and next the
teachers of your schools. In all well regu-
lated towns, il is understood the teachers
have full power over the scholar from the
school. Would it not be well for your
directors to engage some Turveydrop to give
the teachers lessons in department, so that
the pupils might be taught how to deport
themselves in the common walks of life.
The taxpayers, who pay all the expenses OF
our school system, have a right to demand
of the teachers a change of tactics in this
matter, or engage new set, who will per-
form their duty strictly and impartially in
this particular. In the neighboring towns
boys are not permitted to annoy passers-by
on the streets with their obscene and profane
language, such as is heard in Somerset every
day. SoJoURNER.

NEW Law FoR ELEcTING Town Council
MEs.-For wears past it has been apparent {
to the thoughtful citizen of Somerset that
our town council changed too frequentl Y
for the public good, three members serving
one year to be displaced at the end of that
comparatively short term, perhaps in the
midst OF an important i'm provement, and
succeeded by three new members, unfamil-
lar with the business in hand, has too often
retarded enterprises and worked harm to
the borough. On several occasions move
ments haYe been set afoot TO obtain the
passage of a law providing for the election
of our town councilmen in the same man
ner as school directors are now by law elect
ed. We are pleased to announce that at the
last session of the legislature such an act
was passed and is now law, so that at the
coming February election Somerset will
elect one councilman to serve for one year
one for two years, and one for three years
and annually thereafter will choose one
member for three years. Vacancies will be
filled by the council until the mex annual
election, when such vacancies will be filled
at the ballot-boI. The new law is general,
and applies to all boroughs.

RAILROAD NEWS.

| RAILRoAD d NEWS.
Mr.. Charles McFadden, contractor for the
Allegheny tunnel, on the South Penn Rail.
road, has purchased his supplies in Pitts.
burgh, and is having them shipped TO Bard
station, on the Bedford & Bridgeport road,
the nearest railroad station TO the scene OF
active operations. From this point they
will be hauled to the tunnel in wagons. The
length of thi. tunnel will be $500 feet, and
the contractor is anxious to get it well un-
der way before cold weather sets in.
The Bedford Inquirer says that work on
the Siding Hill tunnel is progressing rapid
ly. The approaches have been cleared and
large force of men are at work at both
ends of the tunnel getting down TO grade.
At Rays Hill tunnel the same kind of work
is being done, and in addition two shafts
are being sunk to find the depth of the rocks.
Large quantities of supplies have been
shipped to these two tunnels during the past
week, and the Everett station house at this
time is crowded with supplies waiting to be
hauled away this week Already the peo-
pie in the lower end of the county are be-
ginning to feel the good effects from this
great enterprise. Work is furnished to all
who desire it. while the stores notice very
perceptible increase in trade. The markets
are getting better and the demand for sup
plies from the farmers will increase the pri-
ces for all kinds of produce. The contracts
foi other portions of the road have not yd
'Seen given. y
On Tuesday Superintendent Holiday, of
the Bedford Division Penna r. r. went TO
Hyndman to arrange for the building of a
new station house at that place. The pro-
posed building will present handsome
exterior. Its size will be 361l9 feet. The
baggage room will be Ike feet and the room
used for the ticket and telegraph office will
have Il large baywindow and be l0.6xll feet
in size, exclusive of the bay window. The
old station house will be used for freight
purposes.
That mysterious person, One in Au-
thority," says that the double-tracking of
the Pittsburgh Division of the BALTIC & Ohio
Railroad is to be completed by the fourth
day of July, 1854, and that the contracts for
building the Hempfield road will be declar-
ed in Decembe
Franklin Il. Gowen issued circular letter
in which he announced his inten- |
ton of resigning the presidency of the Read
ing railroad at the expiration of his present
term. He recommends George De B. Keim,
the vice president, as his successor.
The war department has granted permis-
sion to the South Pennsylvania to bridge |
the Ohio river at Wheeling. 1t will be one
ofthe highest and have the largest spans of
any bridge on the river.
Thomas NJ. King, Superintendent of the
Connellsyille and the Wheeling and Pitts
burgh Divisions of the BALTIC. and Ohio, ha.
been elected Vice President and General |
Manager of the Pittsburgh and Western |
The BALTIC. and Ohio, it seems, |
ha. entered into traffic arrangement with |

positions on the BALTIC. and Ohio.

services.
Through the efficient management of the
pastor, aided by the liberality of his people,

ersdsle charge haye liquidated during this
memorial year their entire financial indebt-
edness, aud after repainting and repapreing
both churches handsome balance remains
in the treasury of each. OF the hospitality
of the people it is pot necessary to speak.

iv ers and good entertainers. Our expert
ence in the Meyersdale charge duly enhar-
ces this reputation.

The following of interest 20 Teachers is
