Teachers Examination.


A few weeks ago Supt. Ballet held a
teachers examination, in franklin and also
in Lower Towamensing. But only few
applicants were present. The directors re
quested him to hold another examination
in both districts few weeks later. At the
second examination in Franklin few more
teachers were present, but on the 18th, the
day appointed for the examination in Low
er Towanensing, there were no applicants
at all.
The salary last year. in Lower Towamen-
sing, was S25, land we are told for one
school the salary was only Sl4l. II seems
inn ossibla to get teachers for S25, this year
II is TO be hoped that the directors will rails,
the salary 50 that good teachers can be got
ten. We feel sure that our directors will bt
supported by all intelligent people if they
pay salaries that will give us better teach
ers than we had last yenr. No matter whai
the directors may do, there arc always som,
people that will find fault But those pco'
pie whose good opinion is worth having are
in favor of good schools, aud salaries high
enough to secure good teachers. Good
teachers, like every other good article, are
always cheaper at high price than pcol
teachers at low price. We notice in the
papers that in Franklin the salary tins yeal
is SS5, Mahoning and East Penn have also
advanced salaries. -

Weissport Squibs.

Miss A. j. Derr was in Weatherly the
fore part Of last week.
"A large number of our people went
with the excursion to Coney Island on
Thursday.
Mr.. Ed Miller, whom we reported as
sick last week, died on Monday morning
and was buried on Wednesday. 1t is a Sc
we're blow to the family and in particular to
his Dung wife.
Augustus Oswald and his son W. H.,
started for Philadelphia on Monday morn
ing, to purchase boat load of watermelons,
cantelopes, sweet potatoes aud other vege-
tables.
Hon. Michael Cassidy and his friend
Thomas Watkins were in town on Wednes-
day afternoon to purchase horse.
One of the most pleasant surprise par
ties of the season, came off at the residence
OF Mrs. Mary Snyder on Tuesaay evening.
The party was for her benefit. Many bas.
kets laden with good things, were brought
to her house and given as tokens Of charity
and good will by the participants. The
party enliveEed the occasion until quite late
in the evening when all left well satisfied.
Those were brave and fearless words
that Rev. Freeman uttered on the 9th inst.,
concerning the temperance question. We
agree with him that this work of emancpa-
tion is decidedly a church work and should
be lett entirely tn the orthodox worshipper
Of the country. Temperance is practicable,
prohibition is not So practicable.
MIR. John Raber was on the sick list
during the week. ALIEN.

The meeting of the County Committee
was well attended by the members aud es
pecslly by candidates. The selection o
Hon. Allen Craig us chairman of tue meet

good sound advice as to the campaign. II
is to be regretted that the County Canven

because it will require an unexceptionable
ticket to stand tho test of so long a campaign
Your boroesh has been considerably
excited Of late over running matches, shori

while the matter is still agitatng some o

speed cannot be beaten--slthough nevel
under course of trainiug-always used Il

Three Years for pundor.

Elk County Treasurer Adam NJ. Dundor
Thursday pleaded guilty to the charges of
embezzlement Of State funds, amounting TO
$l9,77929, and was sentenced to three
years hard labor in the Berks County Jail
10 make restitution Of the embezzled money
and to pay the costs of the trial. When
court convened Friday morning Mr.. Bland,
counsel for Dundor, arose and said; "The
defendant yesterday plead not guilty; now
he withdraws that plea and enters the plea
of guilty to the indictment" Judge Al
bright ordered an entry to be made sccOrd-
insly in place Of the plea Of not guilty, and
said that the Court was ready to hear what
counsel might have to say further about the
case. Mr.. Bland said that he hardly knew
what might be said in behalf of the defend
ant; that it would be a delicate matter ia
bring to the notice Of the COURT the particu-
lars of the ofenses TO which the denlendanl
had plead guilty, and that they would in-
volve other persons they did not want ex-
posed to public criticism. He further said
that Mr., Dunder was sixty years Of age and
long sentence would be cruelty. Mr
Jacobs said that Dundor did not take the
money maliciouslyi that he was heavily in
volved in lebt and took the money to pay
his honest debts. His act was, therefore
not that ofa common felon but Of thought
less man.
After examining the bills Of indictment
the District Attorney handed them to Judge
Albright. After some remarks the Judge
ordered the defendant to stand up. DundoI
advanced, pale and nervous, aud the Court
pronounced the sentence. Dundur will oc-
cuPy cell No. S5. His labor will be pre-.
pairing spools for carpet weaving. The SEN
tence was more than he expected. He
said he expected only one or at most two
years.

Twenty second judicial district. composed
OF the counties of Wayne and Pike, died at

years. Chronic bronchitis, from which he
has suffered for years, accompanied with
gastritis caused his death. His funeral
took place on Monday afternoon. II. M.
Seeley, one OF the senior members of the
Wayne county bar, will probably be ap-
pointed by the Governor to hold the office
until Judge can be legally elected at the
general election in 1888.

MALARIA


Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. It
often affects the sufererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door OF the system is thrown open
TO nervous diseases The body
weak and enicebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions :;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt

In addition to being certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing certain and efficient tonic; es-
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter-
