DIR. j. II. EcCreary and Solomon
Yeakel have been travelling through Mont
gomery, Bucks, and Lehigh counties during
the past week.
The excursion, last Saturday, to West
Point was. well patronized by our citizens,
and nearly all who went We're well pleased
with the trip, Some, however, became sick
from the long ride; Miss Becker, especially,
who has been confined to her bed ever since.
One day last week the youngest son of
John Arncr, sr., ate some Paris green which
was lying in package in the garden. For
tunately, however, he did not eat sufficient
to cause his death, although his life was de-
SPARED Of for some time. This should. be
warning to all persons who keep that deadly
poison within the reach of children.
The Young America Cornet Band have
been sued, by Mr., Hunsicker of Lehighton,
for bill which has been contracted but two
weeks. This action is very much censured
by our citizens, as it is supposed by many
to be calculated TO annoy, and, if possible,
break up the organization. If this is the
object, Mr.. II. will, find himself greatly
mistaken, as the Young America Band have
many warm friends hero, as they justly de-
serve. They are, without exception, the
best band in the lower end of the county.

The Packerton Sch ool Board.

To the Editor of the CARBON ADVOCATE !:
DEAR SIR: In reply TO a paragraph in
"Packerton Rpples' of two weeks ago, and
signed by "Anon", ! would like to ask the
writer to be little more careful in the fu-
ture in touching upon the management of
corporations he should examine facts and
figures, before rushing into print, with state
ments and figures which cannot be sustain
ed by the facts canon" gives the School
Board of 1877 very much praise for economy,
&C., while the Board of 1876 is "gone for in
manner that places them in n very un-
pleasant position. Now, by little figuring
and looking over the following facts canon"
will ascertain that the board for 1876 did
just as well as the board for 1877. Amount
Of tax duplicate for 1876, 81 ,203 90 ; while
for 1877 amounted TO 81 $40 40. The Board
Of Controllers in 1876, built a new fence
around jamestown lot, which cost over Sl0O
The same also paid over $25 for new flrni-
ture desks and seats). And, in 1876, hav-
ing no election district, we had to pay our
own election expenses. Amount, $40 T5
Now, buying no new furniture, building no
new fence, election expenses paid by the
county, and with receipts over Sl30 more in
1877 than in 1876, it is very evident that
any Board of Controllers would have had
the same amount of cash on hand, without
a ,oatch dog, or any other kind of dog.
hope the above explanation will be sat
isfactory to Canon" 50 that he can afford to
give little credit to the Board of Control for
1879, instead of giving it all to the Board for
1887, which really does not deserve it any
more than the Board of Controllers for 1876.

Packerton Ripplcs.

There was no meeting of the Association
last week owing to the exhibition and the
excursion up the Hudson. Most of our
people here took advantage of the offer, and
enjoyed the trip. The whole thing was con-
Quoted by officials OF the 1ehigh Valley
Railroad in their usual careful manner, and
not an accident happened. There is no bet
ter conducted road in the state. Every one
knows his duty and does it.
The railroad mems prayer meeting Sun
day week ago was conducted by the Rev.
Mr.. Pickup, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church here Last Sunday it was led
by the Rev. L. Ferrier of Mauch Chunk.
The meeting was very interesting. Mr..
Ferrier will be present next Sunday after
noon, together with number Of railroad
men from Mauch Chunk The pastor at
this place will assist, The exercises promise
to be interesting A general invitation is
extended to all who feel an interest in the
work.
The exhibition given by the M. L. Sun
day School was quite successful. The
receipts more than was expected. The stage
was nicely arranged and every convenience
made for the participants by John Nickel
vey under whose charge the affair was. Mrs.
Peter Andrews presided at the organ and
very creditably conducted the singing. A
duet by her and Miss Rosetta Burns, very
good. John i. Beers delivered the opening
address, The "New Scholar" by ten young
ladies was excellent, the parts well sustain
cd the moral ofthe play excellent. Miss
Edda Brodhead sang very pretty, 1.-THE Little
Boy That Died" "Don't Drink Tonight,

rendered. "To Greedy by Half,' a laugh
able affair, yet teaching an excellent lesson.

The commencement exercises at Lehigh
University commenced Sunday by the
preaching of the University sermon by the
Rev. DR.. Hopkins, Rector of Christ Church,
Williamsporj, in the University Chapel. He
took the coincidence of the University SER

the thoughts to the old connection between
the Church and the Universities, the whole
modern University system having grown
Theology remained stationary while science
mind cannot pay equal attention to all
things, so those who devote themselves to
science feel a natural tendency to ignore
theology, though it be really the centre of
all The speaker argued from the theological
standpoint that all true conclusions of sci
ence are in harmony with the inspired word
of the Creator.

honored so that when the necessity Of the case
required it, money could be borrowed without
difficulty. But If the parsimonious iDten-
ton of some OF the members of both Coun
Gil and School Board are. carried out the
credit of our Borough must suffer, and the
devil will be to pay. No man Of honor and
integrity will assume responsibility Of that
kind, or will care to have any connection
with an institution that will suffer dishonor
and discredit. 1t is not the men that are
poor that object as much to our taxes but the
rich that can pay, that howl the loudest;
and just because it takes a little more Of
their surplus capital, Kecp up the credit.

that gentleman that we copy its in full
Hon. Albert Snyder, of Port Blakely
the Republican nominee for Join. Rem.
resentative from Jefferson and Ki.sap
counties, is not extensively known in
this county, and hence q brief reference.
to him will not at this juncture be III.
timed. Mr.. Snyder is q well-educa,ed
intelligent and worthy gentleman, and
IS universally respected where he is
known. His qualifications for filling
the Office Of Representative in the
Territorial Legislature are such that no
one can doubt the wisdom of choosing
him to occupy that responsible position
Ihe cry has been raised by some that
he is radical Temperance man. and no
doubt there are some who will oppose
his election on this ground He as.ur
ed US that while his life and habits were
sucn as tn give coloring to such
statement. and while be favored res
trictive Legislation. he.wa 10 favor of
wholesome license laws as long as the
majority Of the people expressed
wish to that effect. We honor the man
for the position which he has taken
regarding Temperance. and ii he i,
opposed on that ground only. his cleo
ton is certain. The time has gone
by when men who were outspoken in
favor Of temperance and morality dare
not become candidates for positions Of
public trust and expect to be elected.
We say this with pride and confidence
in the Judgment of the voters of Jeffer-
ion ana Kitsap counties, and believe
that Mr. Snyder's position will be sane
toned by majority of those to whom
is left tie responsibility of deciding
the matter"
