EDITOR HERALD.-In your last issue
there appeared an article, Worthy
Teachers" in which complaint is made
that several prominent teachers OF Mil
ford township are not mentioned In Proi.
Whipkey's report Of the schools OF Somer-
set county. In justice to all parties we
deem il proper a word should be said to
exp,ain why such worthy and excellent
teachers as Profs. Will. and Weller do not
appear in the County superintendent re-
port. We fully and cordially endorse all
the directors of Milford township have
said concerning the valuable work these
gentlemen have done in the schools OF our
county, and we also believe they are gem
orally and Justly recognized as teachers OF
sterling worth, and w know that Prof
Whipkey is fully sensible of the good
work they have accomplished in the cause
of education; Tor had his history of our
schools appeared as ii is written in the
manuscript he sent to the department.
Prof. Will would be filly noticed as a
teacher and rs County Superintendent;
but, unfortunately Tor Prof. Whipkey, all
he had .a;d of our County Superintend-
ents was omitted by the Department. His
matter was condensed TO eleven pages,
this being one page more than Somerset
county was entitled TO. The directors OF
Milford must not think the services OF Prot
Weller are dnappreciated because his name
is not mentioned. There are a number OF
teaers in our county whose marked and
jealous educational efforts within the last
decade would also entitle them 10 a place
in the history of our schools if the object
OF the history were TO bestow a panegyr-
ic upon all the leading living teachers"
hut this was not the intention of Prof.
Whipkey, nor was il the idea of DIR.
Wickersham. The object was to embody
the facts of the pdst-those out of mind,
and not those of the present, and this has
been admirably carried out by the histori-
an. Prof. Weller and his deserving con-
temporaries who labored not less earnest
ly nor less successfully, mus bide the

GLENCOE IrEMs.-Glencoe is a small
village situated in the southeastern part
of Somerset county. The population is

hotel, one doctor, one chair factory, one
blacksmith and one saw mill. These dit
ferent things are all conducted by promi-
nent men.
The saw mill is doing a good business,
and the reason is because IT is managed
by good, industrious men, that take for
their motto, Work while it is called to-
day"
Mr.. Samuel Wilt has recently moved to
this place for the purpose OF keeping q
first-class hotel. Mr.. w. was a well
known and prominent citizen of Stoys
town, this county. We wish hin, success.
The candidates have been numerous
here tor the past week; the boys say they
won't vote TOR them. for they didn't set up

There nave been quite a number of
ties made in this vicinity the past winter;

blue.
The schools have closed in this town.

cess. Mr.. j. ID. LIS closed on the 9Th,
and on the same evening he gave them an
entertainment. The exercises consisted of
spelling, reading, declarations and nd
dresses. The boys said the best fun was
at recess, tor they had a lively time play
ing ring and kissing the robust mountain
girls.
Mr.. Wilt says he intends to give a free
drink TO all when he gets his Snaps. We
intend TO keep it a secret, for if we don't
all those candidates from Somerset will
meet here and drink a barrel or two.
We would say a word TO all those city
folks who intend going ont for their
health next Summer. com to this place,
for we have fresh air, good water, plenty
OF trout and every thing that is grand and
