the weather promises to be favorable, no
time should be lost in preparing the soil for

that new Normal School is to be estab-
Gshed at Emporium, Cameron county, Pa.
Clearfeld county is in the same Normal
District with Cameron, and but for the tar

High School would have been located at
this plsce-the authorities having intimated
their intentions Of doing SO, providing proper
encouragement was extended.

THE REGISTRY. notice by our ex-
changes that, in some of the counties, steps
are already being taken to make the Regis
try of voters under The new law, passed by
the last Legislature. As the making of a
Registry of voters is new thing in Penn
sylvania, it will require great care, on the
part of those entrusted with that important
duty, to make it accurate and reliable.
The CHuRCHEs. observe that work
is again progressing on the new churches.
The Presbyterian Church (which will be
the finest edifce in this part of the State,
will be completed during the summer. The
Methodist Church will be advanced suffi-
ciently to allow the congregation to worship
in the Lecture room during the winter.
They are elegant and tasteful Improvements.

Session of the current Scholastic year, of
the Clearfeld Ac denny, will open on Mon
