Normal school Meeting.

urSuauI 10 duUOuuCeilleuG IOl. w IChCi-
sham, State Superintendent Of the Common
Schools, delivered an address in the Court
House, on Monday evening last, to the citi-
zens of this place and vicinity, on the Nor
NAL School subject The meeting was organ
lied by electing Judge DeY Dung, President
and Thos A. Bell, Sec'y. The address was
much to the point and was listened to with
marked attention by all present. We wish
that the whole county could have heard him,
as we have no doubt that it would have re-
suited in removing all doubt of the feasibility
of the enterprise, as also the profit morally,
socially, Intellectually, as well as financially.
Institutions of this kind had great reflex
benefit, property as well as everything that
tends to make a people or community
worthy and valuable, are wonderfully promo
ted. He would put up the Normal School
building with his own funds if he could have
secured to him the consequent increase Of
the value of property in its vicinity. The
Legislature would appropriate as much to US
as it had to any Normal School, which was
$4,000. We ought in the first place to
secure by subscription 100000. Then every
thing would 90 swimingly on. He promised
that we should have 500 pupils as soon as the
building was erected and properly supplied
with an efficient corps of professors and
teachers, The Professor stated that there
are l6, 500 teachers in the 4th Normal School
district. That more than enough Of these
were attending Normal Schools in other dis
tricts, than would be required to fill our
school full That the great beauty OF the
surrounding scenery, the healthy and brac-
ing atmosphere, and the desirableness of the
location, together with the fact that it was
as near the centre Of the District as was pos
sible rendered this place or vicinity most
desirable location for the Normal School of
the 4th district. The Professor is most
keenly alive to the general usefulness ofthese
institutions But it is natural that he should
so feel. He first saw and comprehended the
pressing necessity for their establishment.
He by way Of experiment started the Millers,
vile Normal School on his own hook, which
from the very first was tremendous success.
Soon after he pressed the matter on the at
tention of the Legislature, and the result
was an act was passed inaugurating and
establishing the Normal School system. And
Normal School buildings are erected in all
the II Normal School districts Of the State
except or 3, and movements are being
made in all three toward the erection of build
ings. If we do not move soon and wisely,
some other part of this district will take up
the project and push it to a successful conclu-
sion to our great loss and their great gain.
Our success would depend upon a generous
and harmonious action. All petty selfish
ness must be thrown to the dogs. We should
not allow the question of locality to control
our conduct. In short it was magnificent
enterprise, an opportunity of an age, which
if unheeded or unimproved, must prove a
source of regret to all concerned

The Phoenix Fire Company are making ar
rangements for grand excursion to New
York on the Fourth of July The excur
sion will, as it should be, well patronized, as
the proceeds are to be expended in purchas
ing team of horses for the use of the Com
pany. As the steamer has been of great
service to the railroad company, especially
at Tobyhanna, we think they would furnish
the cars at greatly reduced rate if the object of
the excursion should be made known to the
officers of the road.

BAND No. o, was christened last Friday
evening by lady The name is '"The Beet
hoven Brass Band" With all due regard
for the lady's taste, we cannot say that we ad
mire the name. Could she not have found a
name more suitable without roaming through
the Teutonic regions of a foreign country? Ii
living, Beethoven would no doubt consider
himself sufficiently honored in having them
play his music. But then the child is born
and its name is Beethoven"

About 800 o'clock, this morning, the residents
IN tho neighborhood discovered flames issuing
from nearly all the windows OF ex-Sherlf Jacob
Richardson's Morocco factory, at No. 7S4 West
Fourth street, near the corner Of Monroe. The
alarm was Immediately given, but before the
Fire Department could arrive the whole interior
of tue building was u mass Of flame, beyond all
hope OF safety, and the firemen could do no more
| than prevent the spread Of the confagration.-
Like busy bees they sprang to work, and soon
had several well directed streams Of water upon
the burning building. SO efiectually did they d.
rect their efforts that Taylor & Badenkopts fac
tory, which Is only about twenty five or thirty
feet thls side Of Richardson's, escaped all Injury,
and several frame sheds aud dwelling houses, In
close proximity 10 the fire, We're scarcely scorch-
ed. Had the alarm been given sooner, there 10 NO
| doubt but that portion Of the burned factory
might have been saved but it was beyond human
possibility to save the building, or remove any
considerable portion of the contents bv the time
the hre became generally known. As It Was, the
building and contents arc almost u total loss.

walls and charred tmbers, while the stock saved
Is not valued at more than 5000, and WAS taken
from rear shed which escaped destruction by
the fire.
The building was quite valuable and contained

Another version Of the origin vi the fire is that i
originated on the third floor, from D drum which

there was sufficient nre iu the stoves down stair

A MYsTERIoUs SHoT.-About eight o o'clock,
last evening, as Walter, son of Isaae Woodrow,
residing at Front and Justison streets. was pass
ing the old Union Church, on Second street
n.ar Washington, he was startled by sudden
shot, aud received pistol bullet in the index
finger of his right hand, near the knuckle. The
strckest inquiry failed 10 reveal who fred the
shot, though il was probably some fool who was
carelessly handling pistol. The wound, for.
tunately, is not dangerous.
