does this is the best. Such education is
always the great concern of the citizen
and the State BY way of emphasis it is
such for the free State. Prof. q. Stanley

THE following article from the Phil
adelphia Record contains few strong
and warning points as to the reckless
clearing of our forests which is going
on by means cfsaY mills at present {:
The flow of water in the Schlylkill
River during the summer season has
been reduced in volume one-half dur
ing the past sixty years. This is the
result of cutting away the forests in
the highlands in which it finds its
source. The winter and spring rain
fall, instead of being held back in the
spongy upper soil of the woods, falls
On the denuded hillsides and plunges
at once into the water courses, filling
them and rushing to the sea in devas-
tating floods. The water which
should have been part of our supply
during the hot months has just gone
tearing past US in soon-subsiding
torrent With more tree cutting and
no tree-planting our floods will be
come more serious and our summer
water-famines more lasting.

HORATIO SEYMOUR DEAD.
CLOSE OF A LONG, HONORED
EVENTFUL CAREER.
a Politician from His Youth, Twice
Governor of New York and Once
Democratic Candidate for
the Presidency.

UTICA, n. Y, Feb. H. Ex,Goy-
ernor Seymour died ut exactly 10 o.
clock tonight at the residence Of his
sister, Mrs. Roscoe CoRkling. He be-
gan to fail perceptlbly AT O'Clock this
afternoon. Shortly afterward, owing
to stimulants being administered to
him, he rallied little but soon relaps-
ed into total unconsciousness. During
his illness he experienced little, if any,
physical suffering and to-day was Who'll
ly without pain. Mrs. Seymour, who
is very i'll, sat with her husband during
the afternoon. Most of the time the
ex-governor rested peacefully and his
condition could only be distinguished
fiom a natural sleep by the ashen pal
lor of his countenance and his ,abored
breathing.
At half-past he was sinking rapid
ly, his pulse could scarcely be counted
and the respiration was more difficult.
He expired without struggle and rs
peacefully as if falling asleep. The ill.,
mediate cause of his death was cerebral
effusion, the usual process of death in
old age. Those present when he passed
away were Mrs. Seymous and her sis.
ter, Mrs. Nelson, of New Brunswick,
N. j., the eX-governor's brother, John
F. Seymour, of Utica; his sisters, Mrs.
Linculaer and Mrs. Conkling, DR.. W..

Big Fire at Remove.

REMOVE, Feb. 10.-The large passenger
car shop of the railroad company was
totally destroyed by fire at midnight.
The fire was the most destructive IN
value Of property destroyed that has ev-
er occurred here. The alarm promptly
brought the railroad ana borough fire
department to the scene, but the fire
had progressed SO far before being dis
covered that the efforts of the firemen
were eXerted entirely in saving contig-
uous buildings. The burned building
was of frame with tin roof and iron
supports, and was used for the build
ing of passenger cars, as cabinet shop
for railroad work, and in the construc-
tion Of bridges. The entire contents of
the building including two newly
completed passenger cars were de-
stroyed. The loss on account of the
building will aggregate $4,000; con-
tents, including the valuable tools of
the workmen, $4,000. The work of
renewing the burned structure will
probably soon begin.-Clinton Demo.

FIRE AT CENTRE HALL.-About - |

FIRE AT CENTRE HALL.-About II
o'clock. noon, to-day "wednesday the
coach shop occupied by John T. Lee,
on East Church street, this place, was
discovered to be on fire. Aaron Thorn
as, who lives near by, was the first to
notice The flames and huIrying to the
scene dashed pail of water on the
parts ablaze and almost extinguished
the fire. Upon his return with an ad-
ditional supply OF water however, the
flames had taken deep root, and efforts
to save the building were In vain. BY
this time number OF other citizens
had made their appearance and carried
from the burning building gearing of
three buggies, lumber, tools, and such
other goods rs they could secure. A
large amount OF lumber, spokes, paints,
oil, tread power, tools, and other arti-
cles were burned, but were insured.
The building, belonging to Jacob and
John Arney, was worth about S400.
We do not know whether the building
was insured or not. The cause of the
fire IS unknown. 1t originated in a
room upstairs next to one in which Mr..
Lee had been working until near noon.

Important Decisions.
The Pennsyl vania and Reading
Railroads Subject to the Con-
stitution Of 1874.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. I5.-The Su-
preme Court handed down this morn
ing two cases which will be of vast i'm
portance to the people of this Common,
wealth. They are the cases of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company VS..
Duncan, and the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company VS.. Patent.
Both were argued early last spring, and
have thus been pending in the Supreme
Court for nearly year. In both the
question was squarely raised and ably
argued whether the respective compan-
les are subject to the provisions of the
constitution of 1874, which provides
that owners of property taken for pub.
lie uses shall be consequential injuries.
The supreme Court. in two long opin.
ions by Judge Gordan, decides these
questions in favor of the plaintiffs and
against the railroad companies.

TIE State Superintendent of Public
Instruction comes gallantly to the res
cue Of the lady teachers with protest
against paying men larger salaries for
the same grade of work. The case has
hopeful feature, however, for the
school ma'ams. 1t appears that the
number of male teachers is steadily de-
creasing, and that their weaker if not
wiser co-workerS are gradually crowd
ing them out uf the profession. The
superintendent thinks the unjust dis
elimination against female teachers
should be removed. Doing equal work
and, in most cases, the best primary
work in the State, it is unreasonable
that they should not receive CORES
ponding remuneration.
