Rev. Schneider informs us that the third

term, and that those who intend to attend
his school this spring, should therefore, apply
early. We are glad to learn of the contin-

No, 246, o. U. 4. VI.

Del. Water Gap, Pa. March 4, 1872.
The following Preamble and Resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, 1t hath pleased the Supreme Me-
chanic of the Universe to manifest his pres
ence among us by removing from the field oi
earthly toll our true and faithful friend Broth
er and Councillor, ABRAM 3. BURRELL.-
And
Whereas, The circumstances attending the
demise of our Brother, were of such distress
ing nature as to prevent this Council, from ex-
hbiting in public manner, the tribute of re-
spect that oLr association would naturally de-
sire to show on such an occasion. Therefore,
be it Resolved
That, in Abram Z. Burrell, we have re-
cognized a man, whose life was as nearly
squared by the principles of honesty, industry
and sobriety, as it is possible for erring human
nature to be. That we have observed him
faithful and true in the performance of all OF
his duties, not only in the benevolent and pa
triotic requirements of our Order, but in his
ordinary life, we have found him a good and
kind husbands and father, 4 respected citizen of
our community an honest supporter of his
Church and ofthe cause of Temperance, writer
of more than ordinary talent, and, so far as his
circumstances would permit him to be, n liber-
al contributor to all projects that had for their
object the benefit of his fellow man, and final
ly; as principle officer of our Council, we have
felt ourselves improved and encouraged by his
advice and example; and we therefore esteem
IT gratifying privilege thus to testify in a
public manner to his worthiness.
Rcsotrcd; That this preamble and resolutions
be engrossed upon the Records of our Council,
and published in the county papers, and that a
copy be presented to the family of our deceased
Brother, and an additional copy be forwarded
to the State Council of Pennsylvania, and as
a further mark of our respect be it Resolved,
That the Walls of our Couocil Chamber, our
Charter, Tools, and Implements, and our Re
gala be dressed in mourning and allowed so to
remain for period of three months.

CUMULATIVE VOTING.

1t is not very generally understood that
the system of cumulative voting was es-
tablished for the boroughs Of this Com
monwealth by the act of Assembly, ap-
proved June I'd, 1871. In. order to en-
tighten those interested in the matter, we
herewith append the sections of the law
bearing on the subject: f...ra
SEC g. For election for members for
Town Councils, each voter may, at his
option bestow his votes singly upon six

The following is the section of the act

Walter was one of the most exemplary citi-

knew him. The rash deed was doubtless
committed while the deceased was laboring

death of his amiabe wife, which occurred
several months ago. His sad end caused
much sorrow in the community in which he
lived. The deceased was about 81 years of

The examination by committee of the
Pennsylvania State Legislature into the
practice OF some Philadelphia colleges Of
selling medical diplomas has already
brought out some astounding facts. A
negro swore that he purchased diplom,
for sixty dollars, although lie had never
attended lecture Another man, who
had attended few lectures, got Que after
an examination so trivial in It's nature
that it disgusted even the aspiring doc
tor himself But the most remark able
testimony was given by witness who
testified that he arranged with the faculty
for the issue of diploma for child two
years old, the professor, who knew moth.
ing of the child's age, naming the sum
and agreeing to date back the diploma
four years. After such evidence, Pennsy.
lvania ought to make short work with
these diploma mongers.
