ENDED IN SMOKE. On Friday last
complaint was made by the city marshal
of Lancaster against w. o. Stephens
for selling liquor to minors, and gambl-
ing. The time set for him to answer
and show cause why his license should
not be revoked was to-day "wednesday
at l O'Clock P. NJ. On Tuesday, during
the absence of Mr.. G. Il. Thomas from
town-Mr Hultemer, another member
of the board, having recently moved
away-Stephens appeared before the
remainder of the board, consisting of
Messrs. l.. Holloway, mayor, r. b. Sho-
walter md j. j. Mckenzie, and pro-
posed to settle. The matter was ac-
cordingly settled By the payment of a
fine of S25 and six dollars costs, total
of S3l. We give these facts to our
readers, leaving them to draw their own
conclusions. 1t viii probably be diff
cult for the intelligent reader to under
stand how the payment of S3l into the
city treasury justilies the continuance
of the license, if it had been forfeited as
charged in the complaint.

The COUNTY JUDGEsHIP.-T term
OF Office of Judge McGonigal as county
Judge of this county expires with this
year. His successor is to be elected on
the first Tuesday in April--the day of
the annual town meeting. Who shall
his successor be? We have heard no
serious objection to the reelection of
the Judge himself, and we favor him
for another term. lie deserves it, and
in our opinion the public good requires
it. Judge McGonigal has made pains
taking and upright Judge, and it is
fact that speaks well for his Judgment
that few of his decisions have been re-
versed on appeal. No one is rs well
acquainted as he with the records of the
Office, and with the probate business
generally OF this county, and this
knowledge is often of great value to
those who have occasion to look into
the affairs of estates administered in the
past. The records of his Office are well
kept. and we arc satisfied that the pro-
bate business of this county is as well
managed as in any county in the state.
Why. then, should there be changer
No good reason, we believe, can be as
signed. Judge McGonigal should be
reelected.

EDUCATIONAL Educational col
umn contains notes on education for
women, and many other readable items
this week, but we would call especial
attention to the advice to parents not
to allow their children to leave at the
end of the present term. 1t is too COM
mon for those pupils who have no es-
pecial love of study TO bring a strong
influence to bear upon their parents to
allow them to leave at the end of the
winter term. Parents who are anxious to
educate their children can make no worse
mistake than TO allow them to leave
and get behind their classes. When they
start in next fall they will be behind the
Others and lose interest, thus destroying
all hope of good scholarship. The an
nual session is none too long and the
period of school life when employed to
the best advantage is founl too short
for the ambitious pupil.
