of Banks twp, was arrested hy Chas. Grim,
"i the Coal and Iron Police, on the charge
ot having appropriated to his own use about
500 OF the school money. He had hear
ing before Squire Butlerof Audenried, who
IN default oi $500 bail, committed him TO

Among the names of those elected by
the Philadelphia NJ. Z. Coniererte at its
late session to represent 1t in the general
conference to be he d in Cincinnati in May,
we observe that of Hon. Samuel S. Dreher,
President Judge Of this Judicial District
aud resident of StroudsLurg. We hazard
nothing IN saying that better selection
could not have been made, For some twelve
years Judge Drehcr has been an earnest
member OF the Methodist church Of Strouis-
'urg' and as he has the interests of the de-
nomination at heart and the ability to sup
port them, the wisdom of his selection will
be made apparent in the discussion Of meas
ures which may come before that august
body for consideration and in his votes for
or against them. Our church has been
honored both in and by the selection Of
Judge Notwithstanding Jc8ersoaian.
