town yesterday.
Captain D. B. Case has leased a house
in Marietta and will remove therein as
soon as necessary repairs are finished.
Hand bile for Hancock and English
demonstration in Reading in October,
1880, were distributed all through town
yesterday. Some chap either got hold of
the wrong bundle or was decidedly late in
conveying his information.
A great amount of rain has fallen this
morning and the appearance of things

The annual election of directors of the
Chestnut Hill iron ore company will be

Mr.. George O. Haldeman left here last

Reports from the Frederick division OF
the Pennsylvania railroad say that
heavy landslide has occurred south of
York, causing a delay to trains. Tho
Frederick accommodation train arrived
here at 1851, II minutes late. The
Codorus creek is said to be very high and
it is reported that the Susquehanna is
rising rapidly at Lock Haven. There is
slight rise here.
The teachers of the public schools arc
going through the ordeal of an annual ex-
animation to-day. Success or non success
in it determines whether or not a teach
er's certificate will be granted them.
Without certificate accompanying an ap-
plication to teach in the public schools the
school board will pass without action the
name of the applicant, hence it may be
surmiscd that all who wish to enter into
the service of the borough in the capacity
4 teacher will strain overy point to meet
the required average.
Sunday next being children's day at
the NJ. i. church the Sunday school con
nected Herewith, united with that of
Cookenan chapel Of the same church, will
hold special morning service prepared
for the occasion. Much elaboration is 10.
ing spent in the decoration Of the church
room and by the time the last touches are
given to it a decidedly presentable appear
ance will be the result. The members of
the Sunday school arc "putting in their
best licks " to make themselves thoroughly
familiar with the portions of the pro-
grammc which they dissect, and that the
exercises will be successful is hardly open
to question. Last years celebration Of the
day was not only successful, but very en-
jOyable, and VIC hope to sec it ut least
equallcd this year.
The organization of the new school
board will take place this evening and the
business of the past year will be closed up.
Messrs. John A. Slade and Abram Bruner
will take the seats to which they were
elected and Messrs. 6. II. Mccullough and
Uriah Sourbeer, whose terms have cx-
pired, will retire. J. A. Meyers's time
has also expired, but he will continue in
his seat, having been &c elected. Teachers
of the public schools for next years term
will not be elected this evening, but the
incoming board will have the duty of
clecting them at a subsequent
meeting. Miss Preston, principal of
the high school, will not be 4
candidate for reelection. On the work
before the board the Herald has this to
say "Thc new board will have the ques-
tion of erecting new school house for the
colored children to tackle. That a new
building is needed is not question.
What kind shall it be, and how great
shall be the expense, are the questions to
he answered. The idea OF erecting four
room building, has, We understand, been
abandoned. That is well enough. Such
4 building is not needed, especially in that
part of the town, or for the purpose re-
quired."
