On Friday of last week it was our privilege
to spend few hours in the West District School,
and we were well pleased with what we saw and
heard In Room Number l, presided over by
Prof and Mrs. Schoonover, we found all the
students engaged in a history lesson, conducted
in very ing manner by the Principal.
The pleasant faces Of the pupils showed clearly
that they really enjoyed the work before them,
and that school was place no longer dreaded,
as in days gone by. The exercises of the after
noon consisted in singing, reading compositions,
and declaiming, all of which was done in very
credtable manner. We next visited Room
Number 3 under the charge of Misses Arm
strong and Nanderslce, where we found the
same kind of exercises in progress. The little
folks seemed to take grea; pleasure in the per-
formance of the parts assigned them, and came
off the stage with credit. In Room Number 3,
under Mrs. Gebler, and Miss Hover, and Num-
ber f. under Misses Gentzel and Unangst we
saw enough to satisfy us of the excellent order
and discipline of the pupils, and of the interest
taken in their welfare by the teachers. All o.
the school rooms are made attractive by the use
of pictures, plants, vines, notices, brackets and
other ornamentation. In Room Number l
several little fish were swimming about in O
globe of water.
We were informed by the teachers that the
attendance has been good duling the winter the
average number of pupils since the beginning
of the term being as follows

The newspapers of the State are having lots
of quiet fun over the fact that, at the last term
of the Sullivan county courts, the grand Jury
were notified not to attend as there was no bus
incss requiring their attention. 1t Is somewhat
remarkable that in this age of corruption q
whole county could not furnish single crlmin

not be transported to Philadelphia as a Centen

admiration of foreigners and the coiunsior
of the rotten officials and politicians of th'

We have frequently noticed in the Williams
port papers accounts of the large number of
farmers who attend the markets in that city, but
competition does not seem to reduce prices.
Butter is quoted at forty cents per pound and
scarce at that 1t has always struck us as some
what odd that, in farming communities, butter
should be so high in price and small in quanti
ty. Bloomsburg has never had an adequate
supply of butter at reasonable prices, although
there is no good reason therefor. Our markets
should be well stocked with this most necessary
article of food and the rates should he low, Il,
this county is essentially an agricultural one.

The city of Willlamsport-popuation several

drunken tramp, who held possession of the cen

ance. The sheriff opportunely came along and
raised the siege. The mayor might profitobly
reconstruct that police department.

think should be made public.

little girl shut out of doors and nearly frozen
pleading pitieously of her other to let her in
The neighbor went to the door and demanded
Of Mrs. Hampton to let the child in, she replied
it was her chill! and she would do as she pleas
ed with her. When she finally told the child
to come in the little one pleaded Of her not tC
put its hands ON the stove saying she would be
a good girl if her mother would not burn her
have reason to believe this woman pursues
regular system of torture and cruelty TOWARD
her children. Is there no way to put stop tC
such inhumanity? Yours Respectfully.

There certainly is way to deal with sucl
brutes, and perhaps if the sharp lash of tho
law were applied in few instances, it wonld
be warning to other inhuman parents. When
such cases come to the knowledge of any citi
zen they ought 40 be N. Ie public, and At that
does not end inhuman treatment of children
the proper officers of the law should take the
matter in hand,
