very low and not expected to live
very long time. The old gentle
man has been more or less sufferer

which completely broke his streng tn
and reduced him to his present low
condition.
The three schools OF this borough
are attended by 100 pupils at present
with prospects of an increase in the
near future. The primary school num-

and the North street school 5S. This
large number of school children would
fully justify the establishment OF "a
fourth school and clearly points to the
necessity of a new schoolhouse within a
few years. Would it not be we'll for
our esteemed school board to slowly
the pave way for this unavoidable step
in advance?
