Z r. j. CROSSING COMPLETED. The crossing
for the Del. s. Penna. Il. R., over the tracks OF
the P. W. d d. L. r at Newark. WAS completed,
to-day, at noon. These crossings are different
from the ordinary frogs III use upon most rail-
roads in this section, and are Identical with
those in use in the New England and other
States. They are simply turn tables which are
only open when trains are approaching on the
Del. & Penna r. r., and thus insure to the p.

the invention is one of long standing.

LAWRENCE, June ~, 1917.
Ma EoIrsRs Please allow one who seldom II
ever complains of the dongs Of public officers,
space in your columns to gently comment on some
of the doings Of the Lawrence Township School
Directors.
If there is anything ''mean and contcmptiblc'
in board Of public officers, in my humble opinion
II is that of defrauding the printers--therc Is
nothing half so cheap as printers ink--then why,
gentlemen, did you crowd into about one square Of
the REPUBLICAN the whole financial statement, for
one entire year, Of the great township Of Law
renee, where we have l2 schools at an expense Of
near 5000 year.
Publish 1t again, and let US know the amount
received from c. Brown, treasurer and collector
for the year ending June, 1870; the amount rc-
eeived from W. p. Read, collector aud treasurer
for the year ending 1871 and from 7. Rowles,
collector and treasurer for the year ending June,
1872 as also the whole amount Of their duplicates
and the amount Of generations allowed and the
amount each collector and treasurer si owes, (if
any.) Lot us know from what other source you
get the Si43.77.
My neighbors say they only had four months
school during the year; and you say that we have
IL schools, and that the average wsges of the
teachers is sil.3o per month--which, multiplied
by IS months, tsour for each school,) would make
only si,9s2.4u, being $4,000 less than you take
credit for paying the teachers. Where is tho
sl65.GOl
Show us in your account the amount Of orders
cancelled during the year and the amount of
orders outstanding, that we may know just how
the account stands. Show US how much interest
you pay, II any, &c. 1t is our privilege to know,
and your duty to tell us, through the press, and
we will pay for it,
Now, lot mo whisper to you, that IT, you will in
ciudo the $4,000 you term miscellaneous expenses
with the item called contingencies, or with the
&c. and repairs, my neighbors 'iaa not accuse
you with buying each member Of the board $500
Greeley hat with that fund.
BY making these changes, and remembering the
printer, you will avoid all future comments by an
liumBLE TAxrAYER.

MURDER IN Snow SHoE.-A terrible
affair happened at the depot, in Snow Shoe, on
Saturday evening last, whereby man named Al
bert Rider lesi his life at the hands OF another
man named Hickey. The particulars Of the oc-
currcnoe 80 far we have been able to learn them,
seem TO be as follows Mr. Rider and Martin
Murphey had been to Bellcfontc, and, on their ar
rival in Snow Shoe, In the evening, were met at
the depot by Hickey, who had knife in his hand.
The latter, we believe, was drunk, and addressed
some insulting remark to Mr.. Rider whsh not
beiDg noticed at hrst was repeated. Rider then
advanced toward Hickey, demanding to know II
he meant what he said Al this, Hickey struck at
him with his knife, and, In attempting to avoid
the blow, Rider In some manner threw up his lor,
receiving the full force Of the thrust in his thigh
about four or Eve inches above the knee, the knife
running inward and upward and seysring the
Jsmorai artery, The blood gushed out In torrents,
but before hliing, we understand Rider, who was
avery strong man, reached out and caught Hickey
by tho throsi and ohohed him until be tainted.
Beth men fell together, but II was all over with
Rider. DR.. Glenn did all tha, could have been
done for him, bqt be died about thros o'clock on
Sunday morning, Hickey vas arrested and brourh,
to jail here on Saturday night where he nov lies
awaiting bis trial at the next term Of court :

A SwINDLER.-The New Castle
Cowant thus vcntilates the doings Of swindlcr
who has been "doiug" the people in that section;
A scamp calling himself in some places
Mcbride. and in others Love, has gone through
the northwestern part Of this county aud the ad-
joining townships Of Mercer county, swindling
the farmers by proposing to sell bags and carpet,
samples Of which he carried, at astonishingly low
prices-lcss than half their real value the goods
not to be paid for until they arrive and nrc seen
TO be equal to the sample This looked like 80 fair
proposition that erca, many bought, and sign
ed what puported to be an order for the bags or
carpet, as the ease might be. II now turns out
that by cutting both ends of this bogus order, the
remainder was promissory note a, three months,
at any sum the scoundrel chose to put in. A
large number Of the notes were thus procured,
filled in with sums varying from $is to SOS.
The people are warned against dealing with any
swindlers. Buy what you want Of your hone
merchan,sj or II you want to be swinded, buy Of
pcddlcrs, and pay the money down, but nercr
uriie your name. II any man wants your name,
tell him what II Is and LET him write II himself

1t was the privilege of the writer to attend the
closing exercises Of the female department Of the
Cleariield Academy, on Thursday last The cheer
ful faces Of the young ladies, the credtabc exam
ination in class studies and the more entertaining
speeches, songs and dialogues, by which the cx-
animation was relieved, could not fail to please
THIS department. vf the headv,.y uade, the vasv
Of Miss Mitchell, who, MS regards Accomplishments
aptness to teach and personal address, is most a-
ply qualified for the position she fills. Under her
direction the young ladies went through the sew
eral parts assigned them in the programme, giving
so far as we could judge, general satisfaction.
IT would be pleasant to the writer, and possibly
not dsagreeable to the ladies, to refer to them By
name, and give to each the words of commenda-
tion 50 richly meritcd by personal excellence. But
as praises are multiplied they cease to be impress
sve, and 1t would be unjust as we'll as ungcnerous
to mention only some, when all are deserving. The
register Of class standing would doubtless show
much Of difference between them, which is not 50
evident in the commencement exercises but in the
general joy which inauguratcs vacation, let all be
equal
The readings were very dne, the dialogues mirih-
provoking, and the singing excellent. But one Of
the most novel and attractive features of the en-
tertainment was the exercise in casthenics. This
modern invention will put to flight the pale faces
and delicate health which have so long haunted
the schOolroom. The graceful movements for
which It provides, call in play almost every muscle
Of the body, and while aiording most agreeable
relaxation from study, health prcscrver it can
scarcely be oyercstimatcd.
Before closing this brief article, permit word
in behalf " the Institution itself The Clear6eid
Academy is worthy of the patronage Of this com
muniiy. The Principal, Rev. P. L. Harrison, is a
christian gentleman and successful educator lie
has dedicated himself to this work, proposing to
make it the work Of his life, and parents need not
fear TO trust the mental or moral culture Of their
children to him. Hei assisted by Mrs. Harrison,
Miss Mitchell and Miss McAipine, the last named
Of these accomplished ladies having charge of the
