In presenting this. the first annual re-
port. we would call the attention Of the
citizens Of this township TO the fact. that
with a small additional tax. it would en-
able the Board Of Trustees-during the
present and the year 1888, ID furnish
each location with a suitable school house
&c, when is added the assistance we can
reasonably expect from the neighborhoods
where such school houses are required to
be built. To the end that this system
which has its foundation in the princi
Piles of liberal democracy, and which
will. if prudently managed. prove itself
more bene fetal than any other heretofore;
it can reasonably be expected that the
people of the township. with whom this
power rests. will at least add ten cents
TO the 500 by way of tax, to aid in SO
generous and benef fetal an object.

Shocking Occurrence. Cone Of the most
frighlfuI accidents took place on the Nor
ristowu r,iiroad. last Tuesday. tia, has
ever occurred in our neishborhood. A
woman. about 6S years Of age. was run
over by The Cars al Potts landing, place
about mile below the borough. She
was on the track aud facing the train. and
i, is said she Was partially deaf and near
sighted; and whe ,her the screa ming OF the
whistle did not reach her uGtii she was
TOO much frightened 10 get away. or
whether. through her defective vision.
she was unable to distinctly see the train
before it came upon her. il Is difficult 10
say. The engine frs. struck her. anu she
was thrown some fifty feet ahead of the
train on the track. The cars came up.
and she was caught by the wheels. and
from her dress becoming en'angled in
largest portion of her body found was one
OF her feet. The pieces were collected
together and placed in barrel. All a.
long the road, for some distance, portions
OF her BODY was found. Her name was
Mary Barker, and she was going to Cons
bohocken to Sc. in the cars there to 90 to
Philadelphia.
Mr.. S. Hoffman. the Coroner, from
