Prof. A. r. Horne IN the last number of the
Educator publishes sketches of several of the

the list is Robert X. Buehrle, who was re-

MreE Buehfle isNa native of Nockaniixon,

boatman. His early boyhood was spent in
that occupation along the Delaware canal. =
He finally resolved to obtain an education,
and has risen to his present position by his
own unaided efforts, obtaining the means to
pay for his tuition by teaching. He obtained
a considerable part of his education at the
Normal School at Quakertown, conducted by
Mr.. Horne. His recollection as Superintend-
ent of the public schools Of ALLENTOWN, al
most without opposition, is evidence of his
popularity and efficiency as an officer.

THE CHARITY FUND. The. charity fund
raised by the two concerts In this city during
the past Winter, has been exhausted and the
ladies relief committee has oeasedfts labors.
Fortunately there are few, if any, that, now
require assistance other than that received
through the Overseer of the Poor.
The careful and wise distribution of the
fund by the ladies is worthy OF the highest
commentator. By the judicious purchase of
the most economical kinds Of food, etc, the
fund has been made to supply large num-
Der.
The accounts Of the committee have been
carefully kept and every dollar is accounted
for by receipts. FnF
The following is summary Of the reports
made to the Consulting Committee Of gentle.

some cases, families were entirely supported
during the winter by the funds in the com

say that if those who contributed had seer

would have felt doubly rewarded for theil

eB BY the following extract from Nixon's
Digest, it win be seen that the suppression
which prevails Id some Quarters in this city
that . man cannot be arrested for drunken
ness unless he is disturbing some one, is falla-
cious. The simple fact Of being drunk is
enoughto warrant bis arrest aud punishment.
We trust that those who go to New Hope and
get drunk, or who buy it by the quart in this
city andsgo staggering through our streets,
will be arrested hereafter by our police:
II. If any person shall become intoxicated
or drunk by the excessive use Of spirtuous,
yinous, or other strong liquors and thereof
shall be convicted before any Justice of the
peace for the county wherein such offence shall
be committed, either upon the, view Of such
justice Or upon the cDnfession of the party
offending, or testimony Of any one or more
