a Biganiist in Jail.

Some weeks ago warrant was issued
by Esquire Morris for the arrest of Robert
Whitmire on the charge of bigamy. 1t
seems Whitmire once resided near Pine
Summit, across the line in Lycoming coun-
ty, with his wife, formerly Miss Nellie
Snyder, by whom he had one child. After
living with her about a year he deserted
her and came to Forks, this county, where
he assumed the name of Kinsman and
passed himself as a single man. He sub.
sequently made the acquaintance of Miss
Wilson of this town, and they were mar
ried by Rev. J. Donohue, then pastor of
the NJ. E. Church. Miss Wilson deserted
Whitmire on learning that he had wife
elsewhere, and instituted proceedings
against him. In the meantime he had dis
appeared and no trace could be found of
him until last week when he was arrested
in Luzcrnc county, and Constable Wood
ward went after him and brought him
here where he was lodged in Jail.

ALuzerne county jury recently acquitte d a
man named Harvey of the charge of selling
liquor without license. The commonwealth
proved by number of witnesses that the
defendant kept n regular bar, well stocked,
and that they had bought liquor of him.
The defense did not call single witness,
and the verdict was an outrage upon JUS
tice. The jurors were sworn to make ''true
deliverance between the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the prisoner at the bar,
according to the evidence. If there is no
law on the statute books providing for the
punishment of jurors who render such ver-
diets in violation of the solemn oath they
have taken, such an act should be passed
at the earliest possible moment at the next
session of the legislature. Such men are
not entitled to the rights of citizenship.

Het1ervitIc,


word from Hetlerville, il you please.
Some correspondent from these parts has
reflected discredit upon parties here, by
stating in your last issue that they were
anxious to attend the singing class of Prof
Diehl without joining the class or sub
scribing," and that "they will most likely
slip up on It," This all sounds very well
where it is not contradicted Parties here
have withdrawn from the school because
they were dissatisfied with the proceedings;
they had right to withdraw, and did so,
and no one has right to say aught against
it, much less make such false report.
They have withdrawn and don't desire TO
attend. This ought to end It without the
necessity of printed lie in regard to their
conduct in the matter. In Justice to the
parties alluded to, we hope you will find
space for this in your columns. We rec

TO YOUNG TEACHERS.

Many young teacher has asked with
anxiety, "When may know that have
done enough? ?" And certainly the ques-
ton is quite puzzing to the honest mind.
In the country schools especially, you have
before you mixed company of scholars,
among whom there are not only no two
alike but also you have to teach the gram
mar student as well as the Abccedarian.
"Who is sufficient for these things ?" Each
teacher is expected to have such a sufli-
cheney in himself, You can't depend on
all you read about methods. Whether the
methods are at fault or not, prove all You
try hold fast to those that are good. Let
the standard of book learning be the guam
tity and quality both of the pupils present
knowledge, and of that which is to be at
tanned. Teach morality by example as
well as by precept, If you don't, your
talking will not count for much. Honor
the least spark of goodness you may see in
the most degraded chld-you do not know
"what possibilities may be buttoned" in
the child's coat. The way some young
teachers enter school-room would be
laughable to the scholars if they were not
afraid of the o-be-dreaded birch
Clothed with the most high and mighty au-
thority of country school teacher, you
soon find that the 'advice" you have re.
ceived about ''rules" is not at all applica.
bic to the case in hand. Don't depend or
it too much, use your own judgment. A
mistake is often made in trying to conceal
from the scholars ignorance of the subject
in which you are expected to be "sufli
cient." If you don't know a thing you
better be frank than to deceive. 1t en-
courages the pupil to find that he may
some day know as much as the teacher
But use judgment as to how far you carry
that thought with all children. Whateve
you undertake do your best; be thorough
be energetic. A plodding genius is surcs
of success. Y. S. N.
