girls school for misconduct.

be filled by some other member, who could
devote some time to the duties of the posi-
ton. He (Mr. McComsey) had attended

duties, but he thought it to be his duty to
call the attention of the board to the mat
ter. as Mr. Jackson wished to be relieved.

quested him to hand in his resignation as
a member of the experimenting sommittee.

JUDGE PATTERSON holds that in main
tanning that they are not responsible as
attorneys for what they do as editors,
the publishers of the INTELLIGENCER
display an " obliquity of moral sense,'' -
which largely constitutes ''ofiicial mis-
conduct and unfitness for the office
of Attorney At most the moral OBJ
liquity" involved would simply he a
mistaken view of the law. If that is
cause to degrade a member of the bar,
we would like to inquire what are the
seraphic virtues that fit a man to he a
Presbyterian elder and a judge of the
courts, and what ''moral Obliquity -
should incapacitate him for the one and
degrade him from the other of these
high trusts

AN OLD VETERAN GONE,

MIR. Joseph Nlxdorf 1sreathes His Last at
Altoona.
The Altoona Daily Sun of yesterday has
the following obituary notice Of former
Lancasterian
Joseph Nixdort, the aged father of Mr..
John Nixdorf and father-in- law OF Henry
Fettinser, esq, expired at the residence
of the latter gentleman about | o'clock
this afternoon. Mr.. Nixdorf had been !,
sufferer for a long time with an affection
of the kidneys, and for couple of weeks
past and had been confined to his bed, en-
during great agony. His death has been
daily expected. Mr.. Nixdorf was "a
years of age, and was born September 13
1906, at Chestnut Hill, Lancaster
county. When about years of age his
parents removed to Lancaster city, where
his father, carpenter, helped to build
the courthouse in Centre Square, which
was long ago removed. At 7 he went to
work for a farmer hear Lancaster, to whom
he was apprenticed for eight years. Then
he returned to Lancaster and went to learn
the trade of weaver. Not liking this he
resumed farming for two years, when he
returned to Lancaster and learned the dis
tilling business. He was identified with a
military company the Lancaster
Phalanx,' which marched to Balti-
more under Major Hambright in the
war of 1912, but they reached the
city day after the battle. This oc-
Cured, however, long before Mr.. Nix
dorf joined it. In1S3O he was married with
Lancaster county lady named Mary
Blatenberger. They resided in and about
Lancaster for over thirty years, and nine
children, two of whom are dead, were the
results of the union. In 1861 he enlisted
in the Northumberland. tenth regiment,
Pennsylvania volunteers, and after serving
two years in the war was honOrably dis
charged. After working for a Lancaster
county farmer for a year subsequently he
moved to Tyrone, in this county, where
he was employed by Mrs Ward, who then
kept the Ward honse. There he remained
two years, when he came to Altoona and
worked for several years as stableman
with John Kahle, of the White Swan
hotel. This work;was too hard for him,
and he finally obtained employment in the
shops of the railroad company, and
worked there up to March 2, 1880. At
this time he was admOnished by advancing
age and disease that his time on
earth was short and becoming so ill
that he was unfit for work, he took
to his room and was confined to it the
greater part of time since. In politics Mr..
Nixdorf had always been Democrat, and
he was member of the German Reformed
church. Mr.. Nixdorf was also member
of the Silver Gray club, which will take ap-
propriate action regarding his decease. No
arrangements have as yet been made for
the funeral. Peace to the weary ashes of
the good old man.

judicial functions by the instrumentality
of popular prejudice" That "motive -
is question for jury to determine,
and Judge Patterson has no more right
to usurp the functions of a jury in this
case than in any other. He himself
admits doubts in his own mind as to the
motive by proposing to the respondents
to disclaim any libellous one and be
taken back to his bosom and his
bar. They respectfully prefer to
stand on the legal rights guaran-
teed to every citizen of the common
wealth, and will test the extent of those
rights in the court of last resort.

THE Washington story supplies va
ration in the customary horror of gal
lows literature. The rope didn't break
this time, but it cut through the culprit's S
flesh so completely, that his head was left
dangling in the moose, while his body fell
to the ground, and the victims blood
spurted over the crowd of gaping spec
tators, who open-mouthed had assembled
to witness the CHASTITY spectacle. That
such legalized atrocities are possible in
this age of modern civilization is
enough to cause men to blush for their
country and their country's laws.

Resignation of Policeman.

John Mattern, policeman of the 4th ward,
and oldest policeman in this city, both in
years and in term of service, has rendered
his resignation as member of the police
force to take effect on April 5th. Mr.. Mat
tern has been faithful and efficient officer,
willing and prompt in the execution of any
duty devolving upon him, and gentleman
ly and considerate of the feeling of others
whenever he had disagreeable duties to
attend to. He leavs the force because of
advancing years, he being now in the 10th
year of his age, and he leaves with the
well wishes of a host of friends that he
may enjoy in retirement the comfort and
repose that are impossible to conscientious
policemen when in active service.

committee ON rules being unavoidably
absent.
Mr.. j. l. Hartman presented the plans
and specifications of several architects for
the erection Of a new school building on
the lot at the corner of Lemon and Lime
streets. AS it would be impossible for the
members of the board to make an exami-
nation of the plans at present, Mr.. Hart
man suggested that it would be we'll to
place them at some designated point where
they could be seen and examined by the
members of the board.
Mr. Brosius made motion to the effect
that committee Of six, to act in conjunc-
tion with the property committee be ap-
pointed by the chair to examine the several

GEORGE PUNCHARD, widely known as
the author of the History Of Congregational
ism, in his earlier years a minister. and
for ten years one of the editors and publish
ers of the Boston 1raceller, has died in the
seventy fourth year of his age.
REV. JOHN McCLusKEY, D. D., for more
than fifty years minister in ihe Presby-

day morning, in the eighty-fifth year of his

the reception of such cOnverts.'
BELLEFONTE Watchman wit: "In Lam
caster on Saturday the court as a wise
movement wisely divorced Henry Wise
and Ada Wise. The union seems to have
been very unwise from the start, although
it was Wise man that suggested the
whole business. Which only proves that
even Wise men are not exempt from doing
unwise acts. Which tempts our Satan to
inquire, Wise such things allowed ?'''
